ECONOMY SCARE OVER.
Shop Employees Time Increased
at Least 15 Hours.

There will be a rush of work on the
Santa Fe after July /. The end of the
fiscal year will then have been passed,
and economy for the increase of the
earnings viii no longer retard improve
ments and construction.
The shop employees of the road, who
are now working but 40 hours a week,
may confidently expect to have their
time increased at least IS hours. The
order increasing the time to 55 hours a
week will probably be made immediate
ly after the close of the fiscal year, as
there is an abundance of work to be
done in the shops. The men who are
now idle at the various shop points will
be returned to their places.
To complete the improvements plan
ned for this year, extra workmen will
have to be employed, as only such i'm
provements as were deemed absolutely
necessary have been made since the
management became frightened over the
condition of the earnings. Bridge and
building and track work will be taken
up in earnest after July 1, and the
work pushed to completion during the
present summer in accordance with the
original plans. The first week in July
a large force of men will start work on
the extension into Blackwell, o. T.

SANTA FE PICNIC.
Will Be Held Saturday June II at
Kansas City.

The annual excursion of the Santa Fe
shop employees will be run to Kansas
City this year. 1t was SO decided by
ballot at the shops Wednesday. After
the shops closed Wednesday evening
the ballots were counted and it was
found that the majority bore the name
kansas City"
St Joe, Atchison and Leavenworth
were the other towns in the race, but
the inducements offered by each were
in no case equal to those held out by
Kansas City. The picnic portion of the
excursion will probably be held in
Fairmount park.
The committee of arrangements, Sc
Iected some time ago, will now turn
it's attention to the programme and the
securing of prizes. Indications point
to an unusually large attendance this
year.
The excursion will be run on Satur-
day, June II, the first Saturday after
the June pay day.

OLD ROMAN LAMPS.
IFrom Good Words.1


When the Romans invaded Britain
small clay lamps, some open like a shell,
left to allow of the lamp being filled
with oil. Open clay cups with two aol-
lows were also common, one hollow be-
ing provided for the wick, the capillary
attraction drawing the oil from the 9TH
er.
Many beautiful bronze lamps are dis
covered in these ancient Roman camps,
illustrating by these simple domestic
articles the perfection to which art had
been carried when nothing was conS1d-
cred too ordinary to be beautiful. DR..
Hill Burton, referring to the beauty of
design and decoration on the common
est articles of Roman manufacture,
says: 'I'hey afford traces of decora-
ton sufficient to show an elevation IN
the ornamenting of common articles
which the pottery of the present day is
only now reaching, and that rather by
slavish imitation than by original de-
velOpment." The same historian also
records that ga good many terra Gotta
candelabra or lamps have been found
of that peculiar form which has in a
manner become canonica1 through its
matchleSS grace and simplicity, and has
hence ever since it existed in it's pur-
ity been contorted into ornamental SER
vice.
The origin of the cruisie has been
strange to relate, this simple lamp ap-
pears to have been adopted wherever
the Roman settled with his conQuering
legiOns-F'rance, Italy and northern Al
RIGA producing them, with little Varla-
ton from the Roman original.

A TRIUMPHAL TOUR.
Great Crowds Greet Admiral Schley
at Every Station.

Omaha, Neb, May 25.-Rear Admiral
Schley's progress westward since he left
Omaha has been a triumpha1 tour At
every town on the route people stood in
crowds on the platforms eager to catch
a glimpse of the naval hero. He ap-

knowledged their greetings, but begged
to be excused from handshaking, as
he said: THE good people of Omaha
have nearly shaken my right fipper
off,
Three thousand people greeted him at

NO BEER FOR PARIS.
Milwaukee Brewers Will Not Make
Exhibits Next Year.

Milwaukee, Wis. May 25.-Fred Pabst
il. today said positively that the Pabst
the Paris exposition, Emil E; BielfeId had
previously said in behalf of the Schlitz
company that it would not make dis
play at Paris. Mr.. Pabst said he was sure
that neither the Schlitz nor the Pabst
Brewing company would exhibit. A talk
with brewers today showed that, in their
opinion. it was useless to try to put much
American beer upon the European market.
In France American beer is at dis
advantage as compared with the German
product. German beer gets in after set
Ting with one tariff. and that is ALL but
American beer has to pay a tax upon en-
tering France and another to get into
Paris. It is in much the same position
as a traveller who must first have his
baggage examined at the French frontier
and again before he is let out of the depot
grounds in Paris.

GIRL TAKES A BURGLAR.

Calmness on the part of Miss Sarah
SANFORD and the persuasive powers of
shotgun in the hands of her father
Justice Of the Peace Theodore sand
lord, ended the career of a would-be
burglar early the other morning At
their home in Ralph street, BellevilIe
N. ]. Miss Sanford was awakened
by unusual noises. She quietly got
out OF bed, and, after partly dressing
made her way to her fathers room
awakened him with as little noise as
possible and explained matters TO him
he listened and heard the noises and
decided like his daughter, that a bur-
gar was at work. He quietly procur-
Cd his shotgun and cautiously crent
downstairs and to the front door He
saw a man prying away with a cold
cnlsel in an effort to force open a win
dow. Justice SANFORD covered the
working burglar with his gun and ex-
claimed: Throw up your hands or III
shoot' The burglar raised his hands
as high above his head as he conId
1hen he pleaded not to be shot and
quickly ebeyed orders as Judge Sand,
