result in provoking a'more liberal out

ONLY FIVE SHOPS.
To Be Operated Along the Santa Fe
system.

In connection with the present In
spection trip over the Santa Fee system
OF it's chief off cials, there Is well de-
fined rumor among railroad man that
are of the main objects of the trip 10
for the purpose of selecting points for
the concentration of the various shops.
.sIt is all the talk up the road" said
. Santa Fe trainman, "that there are
TO be only Fl We shops of any size on the

Poor Mail Service.

The following from one of the Den

oy those who have been wanting to
know the reason for the poor mail SER
vice for the past week. "The changes
in the mail schedules to conform with

railroads, which will go into effect
Sunday. is keeping the Office of Chief
Clerk Putney of the railway

complaints from people of New Mexico
towns that their mails are late. Mr..
Putney said yesterday that the trouble
had been corrected and there would be
NO further reason for complaint. Towns
along the Santa Fe road have for the
last week been compelled to wait fifteen
hours for their mail, owing to the con-
fusion caused by the change of route.
There are no mail clerks to assign to
service over this route"

COAL RATES 60 UP.
The Cost of Fuel For Railways Will
Be Still Hiqher.

In railway freight circles it is re-
garded almost as certainty that
within the next few weeks, perhaps
within fortnight, the recently ad-
ssnced prices on coal will be sent up
several notches higher. The inability
of the railroads to provide adequate
facilities for transporting the winters
requirement of the fuel to the markets,
the traffic managers say, will be di-
reetly responsible for the additional
advance.
Coal cars are scsrcer now than they
we're several months ago, when the
nspiiug of the winters supply of coal
was begun. the demand today being
almost twice as great as at that time.
The railroads. feeling that they are en-
sasled to a reasonable share of the gen.
erai pros perity, have advanced rates
On the fuel, several of the eastern
eues having ordered another raise, to
go into effect next Monday.
III the White Oaks can increase its
supply quickly and meet the local S.
p. and Central demand, it means
bonanza for the Northeastern road.

BY NICE CALCULATION.
The Editor Figured He Had Bought q
Record Breaker.

| The Editor Figured He Had Bought a
Record Breaker.
At q certain season of the year
usually about the LIST of October-it is
the custom of the commissioners who
have charge of the great parks in Chi
cago to permit fishing in the artificial
lakes at certain hours in the morning,
the fishermen in all cases being re-
quired to use the boats that are kept
for hire. This is to prevent the banks
from being thronged with gangs of
hoodlums. Early one October morn
ing the editor Of one of the great Chi
cago dai]ies appeared at q west side
park with a friend, both equipped with
fishing outfits of the most approved
pattern. Ley secured a boat, and
then the editor inquired if there were
any live minnows on hand. The keep
er of the boathouse inspected his bait
bucket and found just one. diminu-
tive specimen, about an inch and halt
in length. He fished this out and
handed it over. Throwing him silver
half dollar and telling him to keep the
change, the editor took the minnow,
climbed into the boat and rowed out
to the middle of the lake, where he
fished for half an hour without result.
At the end of that time he hauled iii
his line, looked carefully at the min
now, took pencil and note book
from his pocket, did a little figuring,
and returned to the shore. What did
you get?" he was asked when he ap-
peared at the Office later in the day.
"One fish," he replied, land it cost me
5000 pound" This, it is believed, is
the highest price ever paid for live fish
in Chicago.

RECIPIENTS OF HONORS.

On Queen Victoria's birthday she
kpighted a number of noted men.
among them Stanley, the explorer, and
Alma-Tadema, the artist. The new
knight, Sir Laurence Alma-Tadema,
was born in Friesland, but he has been
an English subject since 1873, when
he was granted letters of denization by
the special permission of her majesty.
The Tademas live in wonderful
house on Grove End road, St. Johns
wood, which was formerly the resi-
denee of Tissot, the French artist,
whose illustrations of the holy land
were not long since exhibited in Lon
don. Tissot's house was, however,
greatly enlarged-in fact, practically
rebui1t-in 1885 by its present occu-
pant.
Lady Alma-Tadema, as people must
in future call the painter of those elab-
crate and admirable studies of Dutch
life which usually figure at the acad-
envy and new gallery, became the wife
of Mr.. Alma-Tadema in 1871 Mr..
Alma-Tadema was then widower, his
first wife, who was the mother of his
two children, Miss Laurence and Miss
Anna Alma-Tadema, having died two
years earlier. His second wife is the
daughter of a we'll known physician,
DR.. Epps. Two of her sisters, Mrs.
Williams and Mrs. Edmund Gosse,
were also trained as painters, but
neither had attained a position in the
world of art equal to- that of Lady
Lady Stanley, the wife of the fam
GUS African explorer, who was made
a G. c. B. on the queens birthday,
made her reputation as an artist under
her maiden name of Dorothy Tenant.
She was once a student at the Slade
school and afterward worked in the
studios of Bonnat and Carolus Duran,
in Paris. Lady Stanley has been deep
ly interested in art from her earliest
girlhood and has enjoyed the friend

most eminent English painters. She

she has exhibited NO street Arab pic

her work has undergone considerable

A PARALLEL CASE.
A Missouri Pacific Engineer Con-
fined Without Trial Like Mrs.
RlCh.

Mrs. Rich's long confinement with
out trial has a parallel in the case of
I'd Turner, about whom a dispatch in
the Wichita, Kas., Eagle says: Ed
Turner, formerly Missouri Pacific en-
gineer running between this city and
"A Dorado, is still in Jail at Orazibs,
Mexico, with no better show for his
release than when he first wrote his
wife in this city last summer. He
claims the Mexican authorities will not
give him O trial, but persist in keeping
him in prison without a hearing or q
chance to prove his innocence or secure
counsel.
Turner succeeded, through the in
tefvention of friends in getting the
United States authorities to intervene
In his behalf, but it seems that they
have not been able to do anything for
him. Since he secured their interven-
ston another engineer has been incar-
cersted in this same prison, and he
writes to his wife here that there are
now four American engineers :confined
in the Orsziba prison, and their con-
dision is becoming almost intolerable.
