SHOW INTEREST IN THE MEN.

The officials of the Erie and Wyo-
ming Valley Railroad company are to
be commended for the interest they
take in the welfare of their employees.
AS has been mentioned before in this
column, they have formed a society
OF the many branches of labor COM
posed of engineers, flremen, conductors,
trainmen, shopmen, operators and train
dispatchers and have fitted up rooms
for their use and comfort over the Dun
more depot.
These rooms are for reading pur-
poses, etc. One especially deserves
mention as it contains a complete set
of valves and air brakes, where those
who are desirious of learning the pecu-
liarities and action of the air brakes
can do so by belonging to the society
and going there to receive Instructions,
which will be taught by an expert
enced member, who has volunteered
his services TO help the society along.
The rooms will be opened at all times
and programme Is being completed
which when completed will contain the
names of many prominent men who
are being secured to speak on success
sive Sunday afternoons. A meeting
was held yesterday afternoon and a
large number interested in tho work
was present. The members present
conducted the business and appointed
the following directors, who will serve
for the ensuing year: Nose Kellam, of
the engineers branch; Charles Hoff-
man, of the firemen's branch; +. Wick
ers and j. II. Taylor, of the dispatchers'
branch; Charles Costello, Of the con-
ductors' branch; A. L. Mitchell, of the
shopmen's branch: Frank Skinner, CT
the trackmen's branch; Frank Bogart,
of the trainmen's branch. The opera
tors did not nave any representation,
and as a result could not choose a
representative.

FOUGHT FOR A GIRL.
AN ALLEGED SHOOTING AFFRAY
AT THE FOOTBALL GROUNDS.

1T was reported on the streets today
that a man named Wilson was shot in
the neck by another man named Gibson
at the football grounds last evening. but
a diligent search of the city today failed
to bring to light the injured man.
The story goes that Wilson and Gibson
We're both enamored of the same young
woman and met on the streets last even
ing and engaged in a '~'rag-chewing'
match. Mutual friends prevented a fstic
encounter and suggested that the men
go dow to the football grounds and fight
it out. To this the two men acceded,
and, accompanied by a couple of friends.
proceeded to the grounds, where the men
stripped and We're soon mauling eaUn
other over the ground. 1t is alleged that
Watson was rapidly proceeding to do
Gibson up, when the latter reached down
in his pocket and. pulling a gun. fired at
Wilson. The bulle; ploughed a hole
through Wilson's neck, but did not strike
a vital spot. Before Gibson could fire
again he was disarmed. After Il physi-
clan had examined Wilson'S wound and
pronounced it a slight one, the men
agreed to hush the matter up. Wilson
was taken to some out-of- the-way place
for safe keeping. 1t was reported late
this afternoon that he was attended at
the Boston & Montana hospital at Mead
erville. hut the report could not be cor
rObOratsd before going to press.

ON HIS HEAD.

St. Louis Republic: G. d. Ferris, one
of MeXlco's (Mo.) most prominent bust
ness men. is going to turn acrobat in
order to make the street fair of his town
interesting to thousands of visitors. Mr..
Ferris is not only one of the wealthiest
men of the Missouri town in point of
money. but also in point of health. He
goes in his shirt sleeves when the Their
mometer is down near zero, and his mag
nitiCent physique stands him we'll in
hand during the torrid waves of the
summer. He is the owner of the opera
house and several other valuable pieces
of rea, estate in Mexico, and the an
coUncement of the daring feat which he
will perform is drawing crowds to Mexico
even now.
Mr.. Ferris proposed. that if the sum Of
$50 is raised, he will build a s~iXteen-fOot
scaffolding on the dome of the court
house. ON which he will erect a three-foot
platform. and every afternoon during the
street fair, between the hours OF 9 and 3
o'clock, he will climb to this platform
and stand on his head The $50 which will
be raised as an inducement for Mr..
Ferris to thus exhibit his will be
donated to the Mexico band.
If Mr.. Ferris should fail to carry out
his contract he will be compelled to give
another $50 to the band.

BURIAL

The women of Avesnes-lez-Aubert, a
little hamlet hat lies white under the
blue skies of northern France, Indifferent
to the events of this life, insist with ar
energy that has drawn the attention of
all France on arranging to suit them
selves the ceremony of their going hence.
They have decided that. from now on,
they shall be carried on their burial no
longer by men, but by women. In pursu-
ance of this decision, they recently OPP
posed the burial of one of their number
by ordinary routine, and asked that it
should be done as they desired. This was
not so easy. France is a land where all
the men are functionaries. and where
each believes that if he is ousted the
wheels of the universe will stop. The
men then insisted: the women We're firm;
tn police interviewed. Hence scandal. The
battle remained with the women, and
they will have their own way in the flu
ture. for they have decided that hence
forth their written testament hall eX-
press in the matter their formal desire.
This little episode has nothing to do
with women's rights as officially under
stood. The women of Reconsideration
probably never heard of femininiSm. 1t
is not an innovation. but a matter OF
sentiment and a return to the past. There
is an old tradition in the country that the
women shall bury the women. The men
have invaded. usurpd and raised into Il
public function a pious duty that former
ly belonged to the women. n which the
women wish to resume. And those that
have seen it say there is no more touching
spectacle than this of a woman carrying
their own to the tomb. Among the wind
ing paths of pastureland the white coffin
of some young irl is borne by those of her
own age. While the pines and the winds
make melancholy music in their ears, and
the horizon seems to widen and stretch
away to infinity. And the Wheels of the
universe continue to turn as if there had
never been any functionaries in the
world.

The Fire Department Will Be
Materially Improved.
THE NEW LICENSE LAW
Some of the Points of the New Rev.
enue Bill Now Pending Be-
fore the Council.

When the new fire station, for which
the contract was let last night, s COM
pleted, the department will go through a
process Of reorganization. Not that the
personnel Of theforce will be changed in
anyway, but the Broadway station will in
all probability be abandoned and the
Quartz street station will be enlarged and
made the central station. 1t is possible,
though, that the chemical may be left at
the central station fer some time to come,
as many of the business men object to it's
removal. A new hose wagon, and pos
sibly a combination hose and chemical
apparatus will be purchased for the lower
station and at least ten men will be added
to the force, which will then make a total
of 20 or 30 men. Many improvements are
contemplated and it is quite probable
that the end of the year will see the de-
pal'tment in a very superior condition..

probably be adopted at the next meeting
