Washington social life which may be
labelled good" She was one of the
guests at an afternoon tea given by
Madame Romero. wife of the late min
lister from Mexico. famous at the cap

guished one. Just as the rooms were
most crowded not only with the most
notable people i'm this country but with
representatives from all the world over
the Chinese servant who had been sta
toned at the door was seen To back
into the pariors. bending low before a
business like parsonage. who was evil
IDENTITY much embarrassed. The cautions
Of the other servants and the warnings
OF Madame Romero herself were una
blr To prevent the continuous obsequi-
GUS backward procession OF the China
man. who. as he reached the hostess,
bent his forehead To the carpet-not to
the madame but 10 the business-like
visitor. The confusion OF the guests ana
the merr.iment after il was all explain

ton. The reason. i'm brief. was this: The
stranger had called TO leave a gas Dill

travel by this intermediate system. Inc
majority of our season-ticket holders
take second-class seasons, the price OF
which is based on third class rates; to
abolish this department would entail
great inconvenience on them
From Mr. Gooday, the General Man
ager of the London, Brighton and
South Coast Railway, it was gathered
that they, too, in consequence OF their
large season ticket traffic. find it desir-
able to maintain the second class. AS
with all railway systems in which the
distances Travelled are comparatively
short, the second class is an absolute
necessity. But in order to induce peo-
pie to patronize the higher classes they
lately reduced the fares in the first and
second class departments, and SO Tar
they have reason to believe that the eX-
pertinent they have tried will have the
desired effect. An official of the Board
of Trade supplemented this information
with some figures bearing upon the gen.
eral business of all the railways, show
ing that there has been an immense
revival in second-class travelling of late.
Last year there were 62, 1872, 800 second
class travelers-an increase of 2,3S9,000
in the twelve months; while the increase
in receipts exclusive of season-t ticket
holders) was at the rate of IL per
cent, as against % per cent. for first
and 90 per cent. for third. But up to
the end of 1895 the receipts from sec
ond class were continuously falling

A TALE OF WOE.
How a Smiths Valley RancheT
Was Treated Yesterday.

A rancher from Smiths Valley,
Placer County, who came here to dis
pose of load Of apples, told his tale
of Woe to City Attorney De Lgne yes
terday
He said that at Seventh and streets
he fell in with a gang Of young hood
lums, who persuaded him that he could
earn money faster by giving them
ride to the depot than by peddling his
apples. Six or eight of them climbed
on the wagon, he said, and he drove
them around town.
Meanwhile they ate a box of apples,
broke another and gave him only 81 as
compensation. He will come back this
morning for a warrant for their arrest
