Brother and Sister.

One of the strangest occurrences
which seems more impossible than
stories told in fiction, is recorded in
the current news of the day. Minnie
Brown, a pretty young woman from
Pennsylvania, who visited Union City,
KY, recently, while there became in
fatuated with young man. An en-
gagement followed a short courtship,
and she soon returned to her home in
the Keystone state to prepare for the
wedding. She carried with her a pho
tograph of her intended husband which
she showed her parents, who recognize
ed in it the likeness of a 1ong-lost son.
The young man had left home when a
mere child, and his parents afterward
moved into Pennsylvania, and he en-
tirely lost sight of or remembrance of
them.

Doe Gully Curves.

About half way between Cumberland
and Martinsburg, on the Second Divi-
sion of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, is picturesque spot known as
Doe Gully. Thers Is quite little hill
at this point that the road goes
through, and the approaches to this
tunnel include several reverse curves.
The company has been engaged for the
past two months in removing these
curves and reducing the grades. The
chief engineer says that the improve
ment will do away with one of the
most Objectionable pieces of track on
the Second Division since Seven
Curves were eliminated. and will re-
move four reverse curves. It will not
only make much better riding track
for fast trains, but materially assist
the west-bound rreights in climbing
this grade.

LAST OF THE BIG SCOUTS.

Mai. William F. Drannan. the last
of the famous Indian scouts, and the
companion of Kit Carson. is living in
Idaho, where he is doing scout duty
among the Nez Perce Indians. Dram
nan is the genuine article. He is an
Indian scout from the ground up. He
is 1.-THE and agile and brown, six feet
two inches in his socks, and looks like
a fighter OF redskins copied from some
Kit Carson romance. Drannan is the
man who, in 1873. captured Captain
Jack, the chief Of the Modoc Indians.

carries a knife with which he has

BIG FOUR OFFICIAL RESIGNS
Passenger Trnnic Manager Mccormick
Goes to tho Southern Pacific.

Passenger Traffic Manager Mccormick
Coos to tho Southern Pacific.
e. o. Mccormick, passenger traffic
manager of the Cleveland, Cincinatti,
Chicsgo and St. Louis railroad, Big
-Four, has resigned from that company
to accept a similar position with the
Southern Pacific company, with head
quarsers at San Francisco. This in
formation came last night in the form
of q telegram to G. 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 /.
WARREN J. LYNCH"
This 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,
somsthing the Southern Pacific has not
yet had tG face on traffic into that
city, is the cause of the change. Mr..
Mccormick is a progressive passenger
mar 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 1898. W. J. Lynch,
who succeeds him, has grown up with
the system, rising from stenographeI

ginal marginal notes. she has written
opposite a story entitled "a Japanese
Girl:" This is the first japanese story
ever wrote. It appeared in the Com
mercial Tribune OF Cincinnati" While
in that city a couple Of years ago she
submitted tale of American life to
the editor. 1t was SO good that he ad-
vised her to write something OF Japan.
She acted on his suggestion and the
following week the Tribune published
the first OF the stories which are be-
coming SO we'll known to magazine
readers. She cannot be classed as a
painstaking writer. since she produces
her stories much too rapidly to be-
stow much care upon them. "A No
ble's Daughter" was written in one
morning. Her favorite Is 'Boo-Boo,"
the pathetic story Of a half-Japanese.
who finds life too hard" The mar
ginal note in the scrap book reads:
This story is. in my mind. the best
thing have written. It is human, and
after all, that is more than being ex-
traordinary."
Miss Watanna's talents are not con-
fined to writing fiction. She is clever
business woman also. Being one of a
large family. whom she was anxious to
help. she studied stenography, and SO
two later, when assistant editor Of the
Jamaica Newsletter, she was asked to
report the debates Of the legislative
council, and enjoyed the distinction Of
being thesonly woman present at the
meetings Of the colonial parliament.
The yellow fever drove her to this
country, and she continued her steno-
graphic work in Cincinnati and later in
Chicago, accepting clerical position
which left her free during several hours
Of the day to continue her literary
work. During the last presidential
campaign Miss Watanna was the chief
stenographer in Cincinnati. filling a
position of much trust and RESPONSE
bility and doing great deal of difficult
work. She no longer finds 1t necessary
to work SO hard, and now devotes her
entire time to the portrayal of those
fascinating and original characters
which have recently SO charmed the
literary world.
Miss Watanna's first novel, Miss
Nume of Japan" will be published in
this city within few days, and, what
ever its ultimate success. cannot fail
to receive hearty welcome from all
who have seen in her short stories the
promise Of greater and more serious
work.
Miss Watanna also writes for the
Japanese magazines, Kokumin-no-
Toni and the Hansei Zasshi, published
in Toxic. and her contributions, prin-
cipally on American life. are said to
attract considerable attention among
her countrymen, who are usually pref
udiced against women writer's.
In appearance Miss Watanna is de-
cidedly Japanesque. with the black hair
and eyes Of her countrywomen, but in
stature she is taller than they. In her
simplicity of speech and belief that all
mankind is as honest as herself she
resembles the fascinating characters
of her own stories. A noticeable point
in her productions is the fact that the
Japanese, in spite OF her simplicity and
contrary to the accepted theory. al
ways triumphs over her American sis
ter and modestly carries Off the laur-
els.
