AN IMPORTANT CHANGE.

On and after July 10th the Pacific
Express Company will have the express
business on the Wheeling anG Lake
Erie lines. The Wells Fargo, Which
has had the business on this road
since it entered Wheeling, will now
have no way of reaching this city
unless arrangements are made with
some of the other companies. The Pa
cific has never before operated a line
reaching Wheeling, but the company
is a strong one and in securing the
Wheeling and Lake Erie they get con-
troll of good paying business.

How the Little Things Count Up.

1t has been hobby for many years
with J. n. Barr of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul Railway to dwell
upon the value of watching "the little
things" in railway shops. In a recent
lecture before the Purdue University
railway course by DR.. Charles b. Dud-
ley, chief chemist Of the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad, it is shown how the costs of
the distinctively little things mount up
in the offices of a large railway sys-
tenn. For instance, he shows that it
costs the Pennsylvania Railroad each
year about $1,000 for pins, $1,000 for
rubber bands, $1,000 for ink, $1,000
for lead pencils, etc. The fact that it
costs nearly as much for stationery
with which to carry on the business of
the Pennsylvania Railroad as it does
for iron, as DR.. Dudley asserts. is in
deed startling. A large amount of
money undoubtedly leaks out in the
way of careless use of little things.
Some roads have realized the extent
OF waste in such directions and have.
among other measures, ordered that a
large part of the communications be-
tween their various officials shall be
written on pads of manila paper i'm
stead of on regular letter heads.

Nestor Roqueplan had an infallible

When accosted by one, he would shake
hands warmly with his prosecutor,
glance around anxiously, and, drop

A Texas judge was robbed of q

with deep satisfaction for minute or
so, and then delivered himself of the

dice, the court will not hear this case.
1t will be tried by the bailiff, who will
find a verdict in accordance with the
facts. In the meantime" he added i'm

Society in London.

According to the London Daily Tele'
graph, many ladies of social position
have Indignantly denied the imputa-
ton that they have allowed guests to
come to their parties on the under
standing that they should contribute
something to a charitable fund In
London the contributing guest is a
social institution. But he is generally
expected to contribute, not to charity,
but either to the entertainer or to the
entertainers friends, or, if the enter
tanner be interested in politics, to party
funds. On These conditions, any he or
she may-s so far as going to parties is
concerned-have very pleasant time
in London as well as in country
houses. The personal contributions
take the form of doing something
mysterious in the city by which money
is obtained, although it often happens
that this is mere pretext for giving

If my friend had not been married

I recommended him to take a big house
and give parties himself, hiring some
lady of fashion to invite the guests.
This he did. and he is now quite a

ers, many of his guests even going so
far as to occasionally invite him in re-
turn TO their own houses.
He asked me about politics. 1t was
perfectly Indifferent to him, he said,
which party he joined, for his aspira-
tons were social rather than political.
Under these circumstances, 1 recon-
mended the tory party. He might
stand, l explained, for some place
where money was wanted, and
whether he got in or not he might sub
scribe to the party funds. This would
secure his admission to a good tory
club and to all the tory political Grams.

was formed in Alameda, Cal, by

ccr another in keeping out Of the tolls
"a matrimony. AS soon as the object
Of the club became known the lives OF
its members were made miserable So
cial ostracism was their lot, and they
did not even escape with that, but
were actually prosecuted by those
whom their conduct had made hostile.
The club received n letter signed "The
Young Ladies of Alameda" stating
that the members had gone to unnec-
essary trouble in organizing against
Cupid's wiles, as none Of the young
ladies would have them as a gift.

An Apes sagacity.

The Philadelphia Times says: Capt
Armstrong, of the big Atalanta, now
discharging her cargo of mahogany,
cedar logs and cocoanuts, tells a re-
markable story of the sagacity of an
ape in Canalite, United States of Col
ombia, where the timber was taken
aboard. The monkey belongs to
George i. Emerson, of this city. who
was formerly in business at that port.
The animal is of large size. weighing
about 60 pounds. His intelligence is
something remarkable, and it is said
that on the arrival of every ship he
virtually performs the duties of the
custom house officials there. He will
board the vessel and run chattering
around the decks until the ships pa
pers are spread before him, after
which, seemingly contented, he will
go ashore. Capt. Armstrong says that
the monkey has taken several yoy-
ages on the lumber RATS, and is the
pet of the whole section"

woman, with apparently no element of
poetry in her composition. After the
death of her husband, who was an In
verness shoemaker. Mrs. Macpherson
was so enraged by some legal proceed
ings that she burst forth into verse for
the first time. In 1874, at the time Of
Mr. Fraser Mackintosh's election as
parliamentary member for the Inyer-
ness boroughs, she published several
songs in his favor and continued after
ward to write in the interests Of the
crofters. At all the land league meet
ings Mrs. Macpherson's portly person
was welcome, when she would rouse
the Celtic spirit with her verse.
In 1894 Mr. John Whyte published
beautifully Illustrated volume of over
one hundred of her songs For Profes-
sor Blackie Mrs. Macpherson had a
great admiration and he for her. At
one time, when the professor was in
Skye, she presented him with a plaid
woven by herself. This plaid he al
ways wore and, after his death, it was
placed ON his coffin. 1t was one Of
Mrs. Macpherson's great delights to
show all her friends the silver-mount-
ed walking stick which Prof BIackie
had given her. Mrs Macpherson's re-
mains were taken to Inverness, where
they were inferred in the chapelyard
