Tribute To Southern Roads.

A well-known railroad official in dis
GUESSING with Dallas News repre-
sentative the prestige of the newly ap-
pointed general manager of the Kan
sas City, Pittsburg and Gulf railway,
J. A. Edison, had the following to
say:
ern and eastern capitalists in the
roads of the south was brought to my
attention in q very pointed manner not
long ago. I was in Middletown, Conn.,,
at the time in question, and had occa-
sion to frequent one of the largest
banking Institutions OF that city.
Learning that 1 was from Texas the
president, whom l had not seen in some
time, gave me cordial meeting and
piled me with questions about the rail-
roads and railroad men of that state.
Incidentally he made inquiry of Mr..
Edison, who was then at the head of
the Cotton Belt staff in Texas.
50 There is q man, said the bank
president, who will make his mark in
the railroad world. He has the stuff
out of which success is made. he is
brimful of resources. His patience is
inexhaustible. His capacity for de-
tails is tremendous. Whatever that
man undertakes will be done If he has
to move heaven and earth to do it. So
great lie my confidence in that mans
ability to keep the road in trim that 1
have decided to give preference to
Cotton Belt securities over other Sc
curities.'
"Such an expression from Connec-
ticut banker is splendid tribute to
the stability of railroads in this part
of the country, and shows that eastern
capitalists know a good thing when
they see it down here, even If it is re-
moved thousands of miles from their
base of operatiOns.''

ANOTHER SUCKER WORKED
This Time a Brakeman's Name Is
Used As a DeCoy.-They Talked
Railroad.-The Sucker Lost $40.

Yesterday evening another case
came to light where a young, mex
perienced youth was relieved of S26 by
by the smoo h tongue of an individual
known here as Red Dodson.
The individual who was worked
gives his name as A. z. Bippert and
says lat his home is in Baskerville,
Texas. According to his story he was
approached By "Red" and cOnversa-
tion developed.
He told RED" that be had been q
soldier boy and that he had served his
time and wanted to go to his home in
Baskerville. The proposition was grab
bed at blythe watchful red haired in.
dividual and he told the youth from
Baskerville that he bad friend in the
saloon across the way whowas brake
man on the road and that ne would
take him to Baskerville, and that it
would only cost him Sl.50. RED" talk
ed railroad for some time and the two
went to the saloon.
After looking around the place for
awhile the gentleman from Caster
ville'' was introduced into private
room where everything was cooked
take a hand in game of cards,
which he did Just to pass
away the time. Time passed and so
did his money aud when his money was
all gone the cardplsyers haj nc more
time to spend with him, and q COM
plant was made to the police.
Bippert enlisted as volunteer when
the war broke out and served his time.
He then came here to make fortune
and. hearing of the new town of Ala
mogordo he went there and Immediate
Iy went to work. After be had &C
cumulatei q fortune of S26 he conclud-
ed to retire for the rest of his life.
A few hours experience in Ell Paso,
however, put him in a condition to re-
turn to work and he has announced his
intention of SO doing as soon as the OPP
portunity is extended him.
The brakeman supposed to be in the
deal was never found and it is very
dou bttul If he ever will be. The
chances are that if the sucker wanted
q doctor, "Red" would have found one
in the same place where the brakeman
was supposed to be.
1t is simply another case of ''work-
ed' and if some OF the people entering
here would buy a paper occasionally
and leave the cigarettes on the top
shelf, the bunco men would be COM
PEELED to 90 out of business for want of
to work on.
Every paper in the city has been
talking about Ell Paso being afflicted
with bunco steerers for the past two
aud the fact seems almost too
we'll advertised for any man to be
caught. i

TELE6RApHERs' WRITING.
Why There Is a Peculiar. Similarity
In penmdnship Of Operators.

It must have been the telegraph
operator who invented the vertica
hand writing. It was the needs of the
operator that caused him to abandon
the old Spencerian style, beautiful In
its shading and its grace, but wanting
| in the practicability of ease and speed
The style which has been found easiest
by telegraphers is that now called yer.
teal. 1t was invented and improved
upon before the educators turned their
attention to IT. ---'
It is swinging style, apparently
loose in its construction. The capital
letters are disproportionate to the
smaller ones. They are usually large
and flourishing. Some of the letters
are Shortened, tortured into a small
space, while others are given q peculi-
ar exsggeration- Where there is an
abbrevistion in the message, a few
letters often standing for three or
more words, these must be written
out in full, and so rapid hand is
necessary.
The peculiar thing, says the Kansas
City Star, about the telegraphers'
hand writing is that every telegrapher
writes alike. He may live in Canada
or in California, but his penmanship
in New Orleans or Minneapolis. Each
man has found for himself the hand
that is easiest and it is the same AS
that of any other telegrapher. Imita-
ton, it must be admitted, has helped
to make the handwriting of ell opera
tors so much alike.
1t is the handwriting of necessity An
operator who cannot keep up with the
''sounder'' will not keep his position
long. He must write as the man at
the other end of the wire dictates. If
he "breaks" often his name will soon
appear on the reports and new man
will be seen in the Office. The form of
the letters as they are written on the
receiving blank bears a certain rela-
ton to the sounds as they come off the
wire A message that has been sent by
a slow operator will be filled
by fourishes.- The man receiving it is
moving his hand around and around
writing, perhaps, on the sender He
only for convenience. The result is a
sweeping, confident style of haudwrit-
ing, differing materially from that that
has been taken with greater speed
There Is no lost motion when fast
message is coming. Every letter is
written swiftly, and though the words
may be well forced, they are without
flourish flourish or anything OF af-
dec'l0 srsmne One anns may notice notice
the two letters "n" and M
The sounds for these are somewhat
alike, and until it is finished. the oper-
ator will be confused unless one or the
other fits easily into the word he is
writing. The sound is made faster al
30 than the letter can be written. The
letter Is written quickly and is short
ened as much as possible, yet not de-
stroying it's legibility. There are
thousand little characteristics of the
operator about his handwriting that
it from any imitation.

COMMISSION IN CONTROL.
Matanfa Invited on Board the BadR- eF-No Further Fighting In Samoa.

Mataafa Invited on Board the Badg-
 er-No Further Fighting In Samoa.
 Everything has been quiet at Apia since the last mail, On April 9 Admiral Kautz and Captain Stuart addressed a letter to Mataafa notifying him that a joint high commission had been appoint ed and was on its way to Apia with power to settle all controversies and sug- gesting that to avoid further useless con fiict he and his people should keep be- yond certain lines. The letter was de- livered by two Catholic priests. Ma taafa replied, agreeing to the suggestion only on the condition that the consuls of the three powers concurred in the pro posal. To this the naval officers replied sharply, regretting that Mataafa had not seen fit to accept their generous offer, and stating that unless he and all his people were outside of the prescribed lines by a certain time they would open fire on him at s o'clock on the morning of April 26. Thereupon Mataafa agreed to the conditions, but expressed regret that the consuls did not join in the agree ment.
 Since this agreement there has been no distinguished, there has been prac- tically none since April 9. After the death of Lieutenant Lansdale of the Philadelphia Admiral Kautz abandoned all aggressive fighting, confining himself to maintaining his position. Captain Stuart of H. NJ. $. Tauranga, having se- cured a lsrge quantity of arms from Australia, was preparing to do some az gressive fighting with the aid of the friendly natives, but the Badger arrived on May IA, and the three commissioners immediately took control of affairs.

WHAT WILL THE CENSUS BE?
Random Guesses About the Number
 of People In the Union.

Random Guesses About the Number
 of People In the Union.
 Some of our thoughtful statisticians are predicting that there will be great disappointment when the population of the United States is announced at the close of the next census. It will be re- membered that there was great surprise when the returns of the census of 1890 came in and gave us only 62, coo, 900 instead of the 70, 900, 900 we had claim ed. No good reason exists for believing that the growth during the last ten years has been more rapid than from 1880 to 1890. In fact, there has been a considerable falling off in immigration. The total nnmb Der of immigrants during the ten years from 1880 to 1889 inclu- siye was 5,24S, 568, and the total num- Der arriving from 1890 to 1898 inclu- sive was 8, 539, 435. Estimating the ar rivals during the present year to equal those of the two last and adding 230,- 900 to the above total, the population has been increased S,769, ,435 from abroad during the last decade.
 Public speakers are in the habit of proclaiming our population to be about 75, 900, 900. The treasury department, in making its percentages of commerce, circulation, etc., bases its calculations upon an estimated population of 75,- 465, 900 on the 1st of January, 1899 Last year an almanac maker in New York obtained estimates from the gov ernors of all the states, which aggre- gated 77, sos, 231. The almanacs and statisticians vary all the way from 70, 900. 900 to s5, 900, 09O population.
 The increase from 1870 to 1880 was about 1000, 900, the increase from 1880 to 1890 was about 12, 900. 900, and. adding 12, 900, 900 to the total returned by the last census, we have "A, 622. 250 Chicago Record.

BABY CLARK FOUND.
The Abductors Under Arrest-Nurss
 Confesses.

Marion Clark, the child who was stolen from Central park May 21, was found at Garneryille, N. Y.. and has been restored to Lsr parents. A woman who gave her name as Jennie Wilson was with the child when found. The Wilson woman and her husband are under ar rest.
 Carrie Jones, the nursegirl. was found In Summit, N. J., at her aunt's house. She at first denied that she was Carrie Jones or that she had ever known the Clarks. On being closely questioned, however, she broke down and confessed that she was Carrie Jones and that she had abducted the child.
 The nursegirl has confessed that while living at the Mills hotel she met "Wil- son. and his wife, who induced her to help them steal a child to be held for ransom. She tried to secure one of three or four different places, but the place at the Clark's was the only one she could get. She and Mrs. Wilson" took the Clark baby from Central park to Brook lyn, where they changed its clothes. From Brooklyn they went to Sloatsburg, N. r.. 'Wilson" gave Carrie money, and she came back to New York alone.
 Wilson's" real name is George Beau regard Barrow. He has been involved in serious trouble several times before this. He was once tried for blowing up club house in Little Rock, but was acquitted.
 Barrow belongs to one of the most prominent families in Arkansas. His fla ther, Judge ]. c. Barrow, is among the oldest and wealthiest members of the Little Rock bar, and his brother, John Barrow, is member of the Arkansas legislature and a prominent attorney at law.
 Sufficient evidence upon which to con vict Barrow and his wife for their part in the abduction of little Marion Clark has been discovered by Captain McClus- ky's detectives. It is the old rose colored dress worn by the child when she was taken out into Central park by Carrie Jones, the nurse, on the day of the kid naping, as well as several other gar ments then worn by the child. The little lace cap also was found, and, what Cap tain McClusky considers equally impor- tant, the fragments of a note which Bar row is supposed to have written to his wife, so that they might be able to tell the same story if they were arrested and place the blame on Carrie Jones.
 The New York grand jury and the Rockland county grand jury have both indicted the Barrows. District Attorney Gardiner is trying to secure the transfer of the prisoners to New York from West Haverstraw. H....
