was slipped into 25-cent packet and sent
tc a dealer residing in Hamilton When
the latter opened the packet he was as

vas Hail Fellow Well Met.

President II. q. Burt, of the Union
Pacific system, adopted the time, hon
ored tactics of Haround al Raschid,
and took a trip incog, among his
employees. He entered baggage Car
at Clinton, Iowa, with the conductor
of flyer. and being introduced as a
friend, rode 800 miles in the character
of hummer. He sat on a Saratoga,
and handle around cigars to the smash
ers, who, after 10 miles of bis company,
voted him the most agreeable fellow
who had everridden with them. 1t is
probable that no railroad magnate had
ever succeeded in getting into such
close touch with his hands. He steer
ed the conversation around to their
work. drew from them their ideas on
improvements in the line, and gave his
own pet theories on unlOnism, strikes,
ETC., in return. He had ridden almost
to'Omaha before chance official get
ting on to ride to station, discovered
him. The smashers were somewhat
embarrassed when they saw to whom
they had been conhding their thoughts,
especially as some of the conversation
had bordered on the danger line, but
President Burt put them all at their
ease in a twinkling. His true charac-
ter known, he rode to the end of the
line, with his feet on trunk. talking
railroad, and enjoying himself hugely.
And when they reached their destina-
ton, he performed that pleasant duty
which, according to the Governor of
North Carolina, no gentleman would
avoid.

Hicks for Septt mber.

Mr.. Ira Hicks, the weather prognos'
ticator, tells us September Is the month
in which the seasons shift to opposite
ends of our little terrestrial sphere and
one must look for great and violent &C
tivity among the elemental forces.
The first storm period for September
lies bt tween The Cad and 9TH. During
the first srt of the period a warm
wave will move out from the western
part of the continent, and it depends
upon either continental or equatorial
storms whether the wave will be fol-
lowed by warm and cooler weather.
The glooe will pass through amagnet-
ic crisis from about the 9th to the 18th.
AS this will be special pertur baton,
there will be magnetic and electrical
phenomena, out of the normal order.
We can also look for phenomenally
warm weather. Meteorological pertur-
baton touching 18th, 18th and 10th.
Severe and dangerous equinoctjal
storms not improbable. Look for sud-
den change to cooler. Reactionary
storm period, 22nd; marked storm con-
dition, Goth to oath, and dangerous
gales probable on land and sea. Storm
period likely about 9th and 10Th.

SchIey a Victim of Further Spite.

Admiral SchIey's friends in New
York are commenting upon the latest
outbreak of petty meanness on the part
of Secretary Long toward Admiral
Schley, says the New York correspon-
dent of the Baltimore American, Re.
publican newspaper. The Admiral
from Maryland is undoubtedly the idol
of the country, and his selection as the
representative of the navy on the &C.
casion Of the Dewey celebration would
have been the most popular act of the
present peculiar Secretary of the Navy
since the termination Of the war with
Spain. But, instead Of selecting Ad-
miral Schley, and permitting the two
great naval heroes of the war to meet
in New York in October. Secretary
Long sought out Capt. Robley D..
Evans, who was subordinate to Admit
raj Schley, and thus prevented a great
popular demonstration for the hero of
Santiago. 1t is conceded by all fair
minds that the proper naval official
would have been Admiral Schley, but
the Navy Department is determined TO
continue it's policy of endeavoring in
every way to slight Admiral Schley,
and the recent example of this petty
spite is already calling out protests
from Schley's friends, and they are
about ninety-nine men out of every
hundred men to be met in New York.
And in Virginia, too.-Editor SPEC
