Swiss Inn Keepers Profits.

In Switzerland last summer there
were 1,79O hotels, boarding houses,
bathing and health resorts to accom-
modate the travelling public. When
one includes about 1000 smaller
hostleries. with accommodations for
about ten persons, there were sleeping
accommodations for 100000 travellers
in Switzerland. During the main trav-
cling season, from the middle of July
to the end Of August, the minimum ex-
penditure OF the average summer
boarder, with his children and serv-
ants. is placed at the low sum of D
francs. Nevertheless, this means a
daily income to the inkeepers of ESQ.,
600 francs. Making allowance for fav-
orable travelling weather, these esti-
mates mean an income to the hotel
keepers during the month and one
half Of summer OF 2S,00OO00 francs.
In Luzerne alone there are hfty-two
hrst-claSs hotels.

Deserted HIS ENGINE.
peculiar Action Of a 6. H. & S. A.
Fireman Yesterday At Fort
Hancock. Statement.

Yesterday morning at O'Clock En-
gineer Hall and Fireman Charley
Robinson left here for the east over
the G. b. 81 S. A. with long string OF
freight cars. The day was hot and the
work on the left hand side of the en-
CINE was unusually hard.
When the train left the yards here
Robinson WAS apparently fatigued and
Disguised with his job. When Fort
Hancock was reached scene occurred
which is very rare and of the most
peculiar kind. Robinson stepped from
the engine and told Engineer Hall
that he would not fire the engine an =
other inch of the road.
Mr.. Hall took the matter as q huge
joke to start with but as he was ready
to leave he noticed that Mr.. Robinson
was serious about the matter and tried
to convince him that it would be q
crime to leave the engine at such a
time. Hall started to approach Robin
son very seriously but Robinson jump
ed away and told the excited engineer
that he had thrown the last shovel OF
coal into an engine that he was going
to and not to bother him any more. All
the coaxing the engineer could do did
not have the least effect and train the
pulled out of Fort Hancock with the
headbrakeman acting as fireman.
When seen this morning by HER
AID reporter Robinson said that If he
had waited until the train reached
Valentine before be quit that he would
have been given job again ii he asked
for it and that he wanted to place him
self in q position where the road would
have no more use for him. ut will
be impossible for me to obtain work
now" he said land that is just what
want. It is dogs life to make the
best of it and I do not have to work at
firing to make living.
He seemed entirely satisfied with
the way he deserted the engine be-
tween stations and says that he will
never apply for position on railroad
again.
ANOTHER INSTANCE.
"The action of Robinson yesterday"
said an engineer this morning, ere
minds me Of little experience of the
kind 1 had on the road some time ago.
pulled into siding near Fort Han
cock and jumped off on the right hand
side of the engine to oil up. 1 was
there about ten minutes and called to
my fireman to hand me another oil
can. ! received no reply and. after
calling three or four times, [ went up
onto the engine and looked around for
him Not sign of him could 1 find
and to make the long story short have
not found him yet. The train crew
searched the country Whereabouts and
the box cars as we'll, but we never
found the missing fireman. That was
the most peculiar case Of the kind that
l ever heard of but the one yesterday is
certainly second. I have had hundreds
OF men quit when they reached the end
of the division but never only in that
one case when the train reached q
half wav point did man quit"
Fort Hancock is situated about sc
miles east of here and is about half
way between here and Valentine.

one Of the first to offer his services to
the country. AS soon as It seemed

call for troops he set about recruiting

Mr.. Chanler quilted New York with a

tending to join the staff of Lecret, the
Cuban general. He was delayed long
enough to receive a commission from
the president, which conferred upon
him the duties of assistant adjutant-
general, with the rank of captain. He
was assigned to Gen. Wheeler's staff.
Capt. Chanler served through the San
tiago campaign, being several times
under fire and receiving mention for
gallant conduct in action in General
Wheeler's dispatches to the war de-
partment. He was %bonorably dis

Africa

AAN
Nearly everywhere the native races
brought into contact with Europeans
are decaying. Investigations have been
made again and again as to the causes.
Always the answer is the same. The
causes are vices introduced by Euro
peans the most widely spreading and
destructive Of which is the drink
habit. There is a region above the
seventh parallel Of north latitude in
which prohibition has been put in
force, with the consent of the British
Government, and with excellent re-
suits. There are also several terrific
r1es OF larger or smaller extent in the
southwest or southeast, where prohi-
bition has been decreed, generally by
native rulers. Says Sir Richard Bur-
ton, the noted African traveller: "It Is
my sincere belief that If the slave
trade were revived with all its horrors
and Africa could get rid of the white
man, with the gunpowder and rum
which he has introduced, Africa would
be a winner by the exchange"
"Maliki, the Mohammedan emir OF
Nupe on the Niger, wrote to Bishop
Crowther in 1884: Rum has ruined
my country, 1t has ruined M people.

RISE OF A

A new mar has come out of the West
into the railroad world, a star Of the
first magnitude, increasing in bril-
liancy every day. Ten years ago he
was a life insurance solicitor in Chi
cago, and a poor one at that. Seven
years ago all he knew of a railroad
was that 1t consisted of two tracks
on which trains ran. Today he ham
dies scores of millions of American
and European money and controls and
operates over 1,200 miles Of trunk line
railroad, created by himself, and is
adding to it every day. He has linked
Kansas City with the Gulf of Mexico
by a railroad as near an air line as 1t
can be, has turned north and reached
Omaha on his way to Manitoba, east
ward and reached Quincy en- route to
Chicago. He has built towns, founded
new industries, reclaimed tens Of
thousands of acres of land to agricu1-
ture, opened mines, established lines OF
steamers, and is digging a ship canal
seven miles long, wide and deep
enough to accommodate the largest
vessel afioat. He has been from the
beginning a towering figure In the ne
gotiations for the Alton road. He has
just begun buying railroads in Ohio.

tor, and during her subsequent career
he was never heard of. although she
evidently had some little regard for
him, as mis- painting in oil hung in the
parlor OF her house. Just how she en-
tered into the field of adventures is
not known, and it was not until she
startled all Philadelphia by her lavish
expenditure of money and wonderful
facility for borrowing that she came
under the public notice. Among the
goods which will be sold in Philadel-
phia at M. Thomas & Sons on Nov. 80
for settlement with the Atlas Storage
Company are some family portraits
and a chest full Of papers. 1t Is the
latter that is exciting the attention Of
the public at present, as the box is
supposed to contain the correspondence
OF her victims. There is likely to be
some lively bidding for the possession
Of the chest, as 1t is thought it will
divulge the names of many prominent
persons who advanced her money In
support ct her claim whose connection
with the woman is at present unknown.
Since her arrest in 1892 the countess
has dropped from public view. At tho
time she stored her pictures she was In
great need Of money and she borrowed
a small sum OF the warehouse receipts.

HER DAUGHTER.

Mr.. Brennan what l have told him in
regard to Nine. Bettencourt's vast for
tune is entirely true?" The Spanish
minister answered in excellent En-
glish: "The countess is worth untold
millions" 1t was only a few days after
this that Mr.. Barca discovered that he
had lent himself to an adventures. He
took a train to New York and engaged
rooms at a hotel, where he committed
suicide. Brennan, upon the strength of
the confirmation of the existence of
the immense wealth, loaned the count
ess" the several thousand dollars re-
quested.
When Emperor Dom Pedro of Brazil
visited this country in 1876 he was for a
time her guest. She was everywhere
known as the Spanish countess. Her
establishment was splendid and she
welded much influence among prom
inent men. The death Of one of these
men was the beginning of her downfall.
The social attention paid to her by
distinguished personages made it much
easier to secure money. She made
friends at Washington and induced the
Spanish minister to call upon her. All
her entertainments were run regardless
of cost. During President Cleveland's
first administration she spent much
time in Washington and was a personal
friend of the president.
Several Of her dupes tried to bring
suit against several members of the
Spanish legation for aiding the coun-
tess, but were dissuaded from the effort,
Six years ago the countess was ar
rested, charged with obtaining money
under false pretenses from w. g. Top
lis, a druggist. The charge was not
proven, and another of conspiracy was
brought. Since 1t could not be shown
that she had conspired with any one
this was never pushed successfully.
The most surprising part about this
fascinating adventures was her adap-
liability in being able to hold a social
position so much in advance Of her
bringing up. Every movement of hers
was marked by a degree Of dignity
usually seen in those only born to the
purple. Her entertainments of En-
peror Dom Pedro, the Spanish minister,
Generals Grant and Sherman and
others were characterized by a lavish
ness that was truly royal. At these en-
tertainments the choicest wines, the
most expensive dishes, the costliest SER
vice and the sumptuous arrangements
were in evidence, while the table dec
orations consisted of the rarest and
most expensive orchids and exotic
plants. All the walters and servants
were dressed in liveries and everything
betokened wealth and afluence.
Such was the life of Anita De Betten-
court, who today is penniless and starv-
ing after spending millions of dollars

Toronto, Nov. 10.-The World"
comments on the report of the United
Empire trade league on the capacity
of Canada as a granary for Britain.
The report refers to Manitoba as fol-
lows: Manitoba has an area of forty
seven millions acres. Deducting ten
million for lakes, rivers, town sites and
waste land, $4,000, 600 acres are left for
farm cultivation, or homes for 116, 900
families on 800 acres each, and as I'D
to now there are only $1,000 farmers
there altogether, that leaves room in
one province for 89,008 more wheat
growers. Surprising, then, we got
them there and each one of them out
of his 800 acres grew on an average
100 acres at 20 bushels to the acre: il
you figure it up you will find 1t is quite
possible for Manitoba alone to supply
us with all the wheat we require from
abroad. 1t Is only a question of money
and comparatively speaking not money
either. The cost of one first-class bat

families onto farms in the Northwest.
allowing ESQ to each to find them in
implements, seeds, horses, ETC., and
would keep them until their first crop
was harvested. Five thousand farm
ers, averaging 100 acres of wheat each
at 20 bushels to the acre, means an ex-
ira 10000, 900 bushels, for II that

a duty on foreign wheat. In addition
to the wheat lands Of Manitoba there
are the millions of acres in Assiniboia,
Alberta and Saskatchewan.
