WELLS FARGO METHODS
Something About the COmpany'S
Pension Business.

E. ]. Gr:swold arrived from No
gales yesterday and is a. the Mills
house. He VIII temporarily relieve j.
Allender, the cashier for Wells, Fargo
G Co., who viii take a fifteen days
vacation. The relation between Wells,
Fargo & Co. and its employees IS not
generally understood. THIS company
is small world in itself. Although it
does not own a mile Of railroad, it has
contracts with railroad companies for
covering about So 900 miles. II IS the
only express company which operates
from ocean to ocean, and until recently
one of its banks had a larger surplus
than any other in the country. 1t is
independent of everything bUl. rail-
roads and is almost looked upon as a
part Of them. Thus Wells, Fargo &
Co. is a government without territory
ard It's employees are Pansi0ned. Like
civil service employees. when one en-
tiers the employ Of this company he
may go in for life. At A certain Tina
of the year he is given a vacation, but
he draws pay just the same. As in
the military service, he is penstOned
for life when he becomes unable to
work. There are now about 400 men
on the pension list with the same in
come they had at the time Of their re
tirement. Captain T. Cornell, the
local agent, who himself has been with
the company for many years, says that
some ex-employes have been drawing
pensions for twenty years. One man
he knew in Kansas was allowed S175
a month. He lived distance from
the city and when he got 50 old he
was unable to come to town the money
was sent out to him regularly. This
policy, says Captain Conn5il, though
actuated by philaE.ehropic motives, is
not a losing one. The employees have
a good feeling toward the company
and specially eNfrt themselves to

CONCEALED INEXPERTNESS
By Pretended Study of Nafur al
History.

There are a few people in tEts world
who do not enjoy a joke, but there are
a great many more who do. Of the
later class ii may be stated with rea-
Sorable certainty that they prefer a
joke, the point of which, is directed
toward some one else, though there
are a few who like a joke 50 We'll they
can enjoy it even if it strikes close at
home. From his pleasant disposition
it is assumed that Mr. Sims Ely, pri-
vate secretary to Governor Murphy, IS
of the latter class. else would the
writer have been more cautious IN be-
ing committed to an agreement to
make public a Itsle chapter in Mr..
Ely's private life.
There IS a druggist in this town who
is devoted to his wheel. On second
thought it may be remarked there are
several of them, but there is only one
who lives in the same neighborh0od
with Mr.. Ely and who has been the
subject of The laIlter's ridicule for his
awkward riding. The druggist has
run down three or four people and
only for the kind fate which guards
pedestrians in their hours of peril,
would have killed them. Mr.. Ely
with remarkable astuteness hears OF
these adventures almost co.noident
with their happening and takes Oc-
casion 30 come around and twit the

22D STREET BRIDGE VICTIM.
Sidney Meeks Started Across and Eel
 Through.

Sidney w. Meeks, a white man living in Coalburg, fell from the Twenty-second street bridge last night, and was badly in- jured. When found he was in an uncon- scious condition. The police were notified, and Officer Mcknight telephoned for an ambulance and had the injured man brought to the police station, where he was examined by Dr. Whelan.
 The physician said that none of the mans bones were broken, and that he was suffering from a shock to the spinal col umn.
 Meeks was found about one hundre1 feet from the Southern freight depot on the south side of the railroads. At this place the bridge is twenty or twenty-five feet high. The timbers of the bridge are some what decayed at this point, and it is sup posed that Meeks had started to walk across when he slipped and fell.
 It is said at the police department that the public has frequently been warned not to cross this bridge.
 MT. MeehS will probably be sent to his home in Coalburg tdis morning.

BLACKS SHOULD EMIGRATE
Former Senator Butler Gives His View.
 of the Race Question

Greenville, s. C., September 19.-Forme- Senator M. C. Butler, of this state. in re- ply to certain questions recently asked him by a New York party on the race question in the south, says he believes the govern ment should provide place of emigration for the negroes. He says:
 "To my mind 1t behooves the government of the United States to carry out the prop osttion of President Lincoln and provide a home in Central or South America, or else where, where the negro may be induced to emigrate and set up for himself It would be infinitely better for the negro, who can never reach the full measure of American manhood and citizenship with his environ ment of race prejudice and ostraclsm in this country. It Is as strong and intense between the white man and the Indian or Chinaman, or any colored race. The most advanced stages of civilization do not ap- pear to eradicate 1t. Christianity does not, nor cannot, and the only refuge for the weaker race is an exodus or perpetual sub- ordination to the stronger, or extermina- tion.'
