SANTA FE RAILROAD CHANGES.
A New Division to be Created in Colorado
"A Joint Traffic Agreement.

1t is probable that a marked change
will be made in operating the western
division of the Santa Fe road in Colo
RADIO at an early date. Plans are under
consideration to operate the joint track
of the Colorado & Southern and SAINT
Fee between Pueblo and Denver under
one superintendent. This division at
present extends as far as Garden City.
When the change is made it is expected
that hat part of the road lying between
Pueblo and Dodge City will constitute
q new division, which will also include
the branch to Canon City and Florence.
Rumor has it that Superintendent
Parker is slated for the joint superin-
tendency, and that Trainmaster Dean
will occup his present position under
Superintendent Parker, with headquar-
tiers at Pueblo. Trainmaster Fox, OF the
New Mexico division, is spoken OF as
the superintendent of the new division
between Pueblo and Dodge City. AL
though no official information of the
contemplated change has been received,
it is generally conceded that it will go
into effect.
Improvements on the rack between
Pueblo and Denver have been made,
and workmen are kept busy in making
extensive additions to the yard room OF
the Santa Fe at Pueblo. While not Off
cially announced, there is no further
doubt that a satisfactory agreement
has been entered into by the Santa Fe
and Colorado & Southern roads to keep
in force the joint track agreement. I'm
der the new arrangement the Colorado
& Southern trains will be operated
from Pueblo.

Prince Edwards Island has a popula-
ton of over 100, 900, and yet in the last
thirty years not a single divorce has
been granted on the island. Domestic
happiness, rather than domestic infe-
licity, are the rule. 1t is probably the
ease with which divorce can be secured
elsewhere that increases the desire for
legal separation, and that is in the way
of efforts to live happily together Of
many a man and many a wife.

In the third paper OF his Memories
OF Musical Life" in the September
Century, DR.. William Mason tells of bis
acceptance az pupil OF Liszt, nearly
fifty years ago.
When we arose from the table and
went into the drawing-room, Liszt said:
IL have new piano from Erard Of
Paris. Try it, and see how you like it. -
He asked me to pardon him il he moved
about the room, for he had TO get to-
gether some papers which it was neces-
sary to take with him, as he was going
to the palace Of the grand duke. "As
the palace is on the way to the hotel,
We can walk as far as that together" he
added. :,
felt intuitively that my opportunity
bad come sat down at the piano
with the idea that l would not endesvor
to show List how to play, but would
play "a simply as il / were alone. 1
played "Amitie pour Amitie,"a little
piece of my own which had just been
published by Hoimeister Of LEIPZIG.
THAT'S one Of your own?' asked List
when / had finished. well, it's q
charming little piece. Still nothing
was said about my being accepted as
pupil. But when We left the Altenburg,
he said casually, "You say you are going
to Leipsic for few days on business?
While there you had better select your
piano and have it sent here. Meanwhile
l will tell KIinworth to look up rooms
for you. Indeed. there is vacant room
in the house in which he lives, which is
pleasantly situated just outside the
limits of the ducal park"
/ can recall the thrill OF joy which
passed through me whsn Liszt spoke
these words. They left no doubt 10 my
mind. I was accepted as his pupil. We
walked down the hill toward the town,
Liszt leaving me when we arrived at the
palace, telling me, however, that he
would call later at the hotel and intro
duce me to my fellow-pupils. About
eight o'clock that evening he came.
l had no idea then, neither have /
now. what bis means were, but learned
soon after my arrival at Weimsr that he
never took pay from his pupils. neither
would he bind himself to give regular
lessons at stated periods. He wished to
avoid obligations as far as possible. and
feel free to leave Weimar for short peri
DDS when 30 incliGed-in other words,
to 60 and come as he liked.

A Remarkable Clergyman.

The Rev. pr. Robert Rainy, now "A years old, has been principal of New college, Edinburgh, for 38 years. He is," says The Congregationalist, "the most remarkable parsonage in Scottish ecclesiastical councils. No man has so strong hold as he upon the Free church or Is so often made a presiding officer in its public gatherings. He is unaffected and unassuming, always courteous in speech, with an instinct for divining and guiding the feeling of assemblies. In the religious history of Scotland no event probably will stand out with greater significance than the union into one church of two long d. vided branches, consummated in Edin- burgh on Oct. 31, 1900. And no name will be so prominently associated with that event as the name of Principal Rainy,"

What Became of a Career.

It will be remembered that a year ago the power was given to Governor Stanley to appoint some girl who would be given her tuition free In a New York art school. Every section pointed to some girl with career, but no mon- ey to achieve It; every section begged the governor to make no mistake and lose to the world a famous artist by appointing the wrong girl. After a number of prayerful nights he made Miss Lillian Dyer of Abilene the fortu- nate girl with a career. She was en- gagged in the study of art in New York just three months when she became en- gagged. and she was married Thursday. It seems that any man with a marriage license can bust up career.-Aschison Globe.

The American force, con. sisting of 30 native scouts commanded by Lieutenant Jernigan, attacked the rebels who retreated, leaving on the field 1t men killed, including the rebel leader Aguilar, and an American negro.
