about eighteen inches in length, and,
like many of the lizards, are said to

BIG FOUR OFFICIAL REsIoAs
Passenger rramc Manager McCor.ksh
Goes to the southern Pacine


Goes to the southern Pacine
e. O. Mccormick. passenger trafno
manager OF the Cleveland, Cincinatti,
Chicago and st. Louis railroad, Big
Four, has resigned from that company
to accept a similar position with the
Southern Pacific company, with head
quarters at San Francisco. This in
formation came last night in the form
of a telegram to C. H. Mitchell, city
passenger agent of the Big Four in
Chicago. as follows:
"E o. Mccormick has resigned to
take service with the Southern Pacific
railway as passenger traffic manager.
headquarters at San Francisco. Presi-
dent ingalls, has appointed me general
passenger and ticket agent, in full
charge Of the passenger department.
These changes effective about May 1.
WARREN ]. LYNCH"
The news was complete surprise to
local railroad men. as no rumor Of a
change in the traffic department of
either road had been circulated. 1t is
believed that the approaching en-
trance of the Santa fe into San Fran
cisco and consequent competition,
something the Southern Pacific has not
yet had to face on traffic into that
city, is the cause Of the change. Mr..
Mccormick is a progressive passenger
man and is considered one OF the best
in the business. He was formerly gen.
eral passenger agent OF the Monon, and
subsequently Of the Cincinnati Ham
ilton and Dayton, before going with
the Big Four, in 1893. w. J. Lynch.

ion applies only to State officers yet its
principles are equally applicable to

other guardians Of public moneys. Ten
bankers signed State Treasurer Ram
says bond in consideration of an agree
ment whereby Ramsay was to deposit
/ large sums of public moneys in their in
situations, they to pay him az per cent
interest on his balances. Ramsay died
a defaulter. The bondsmen made good
his shortage and attempted to recover
their losses from his estate. The court
of last resort has just outlawed their
claims. 1t declares that the agreement
between them and Ramsay was illegal,
and that court must not lend its aid
to enforce a contract thus tainted with
illegality. 1t declares that the transact
ton between the banks and Ramsay
amounted to direct and palpable vio-
lation of section 81 of the criminal code.
1t is also clearly against the
public policy of the State, ascertained

Kruger has several relatives in Miehi-

several weeks Those who saw him
then and remember his characteristics
saw that he impressed an observer as
having remarkable bulldog courage,
and as one who once convinced of the
Righteousness of his cause, would turn
backward at nothing less than divine
command. Frequently in the most I'M
important matters he would fall back
on a quotation from the Bible as JUS

he evidently has not changed. He spent

It has beer suggested that the new
clean and purified London Thames will
before long be again used by yachts and
the modern equivalent of the old pleas
ure barges. Practical evidence that
this will be so followed recently in the
arrival of Lord de la Wars fine yacht,
the Fire Fly, which steamed up the
Thames and moored off the embank-
ment opposite Somerset house. There
she is to lie, making tioa ting London
house, with the power to be off into
the country, up or down channel, any
day that its owner pleases. Lord de la
War; made the experiment for a short
time last year and found it so pleasant
that he has come again. The countess
mas accompanied him and receives her
friends on board. According to Lord
de la War; the climate on the river is
charming, the nights far cooler and the
DAYS queter than on shore in town.
Dining on board is one of the pleasant
est experiences of this new social de-
parture Ten years ago all this would
have been impossible, because the river
had an evil smell. Now il is almost as
clean as need be, and few years will
render it absolutely free from up-river
contamination London expects to hear
of members steam yachts moored off
the houses of parliament before the
season is over.
