Portland, the Poughkeepsie agent


Portland, the Poughkeepsie agent
does not uncase the piano and
give q series Of box car recitals for
the next two months. You may think he
does, but he doesn't. Not bit Of it.
There il no welcome anywhere for the
wandering Willies Of freightdom. No
agent wishes to be caught with missing
freight piled up in his yard or house.
The truth of the matter is, the railroads
are continually punching laggard freight
in the ribs and admonishing it to move
on.
1t is an interesting study to see how the
railroads handle their immense freight
business. To the outsiders freight Office
seems like confusion worse COMPOUNDED,
but to the men who have been trained to
the work it is all as simple as problem
in short division. No matter how far
from home q car is 1t is always in touch
with the home office. II the Car has had
bad luck and one Of it's trucks is sprained
the home Office knows about it and sends
an orderito have it placed In the nearest
Car hospital and doctored up to working
condition. The Office knows Just what
the car is earning and If it thinks it's trav-
cling expenses are getting too big it shifts
its route or calls it home. It is only once
in while that car gets away from the
home Office altogether, and when one
does there Is no sleep for any one till the
runaway Is found and started in the right
direction.
After you have listened to a freight
agents description of the elaborate plans
taken to look after freight, you will mar.
vel that single package ever goes astray.
But-the man who lie waiting for that
piano knows that it does.

As to the fortune left by Mr. Hunting
ton there seems to be divided opinion.
The Wall Street News Agency estimates
ran as high as $50, O0O, 900. Henry Clews
estimated Mr. Huntington's wealth at
SAC, O0O, 900 at least. Russell Sage said
when this estimate was brought to bis
attention:
"You can cut that down by one.half.
To put 1t at $40, O0O, 900 would be very
liberal estimate of Mr. Huntington's e.
tate. The business dealings between US
have at times been on An enormous scale
and have an intimate knowledge of bis
affairs. I had his confidence and he had
mine. He had reduced bis loans In the
New York market fully one-half In the
last six or seven years and his business
affairs in the last IL years have shaped
themselves out and are now In fine shape.
There is nothing to disturb the situation
through his death. His affairs on the
Pacific coast are somewhat spread out,
but my information is that they are also
in good shape there.
My dealings with Mr. Huntington in
volved railroad financing on q large
scale and have loaned large amounts OF
money to him on railroad securities. His
indebtedness to me has, however, been
discharged in most honorable manner.
The properties with which he was identi-
fed are In good shape and there is no
reason why the market prices for their
stocks should be depressed because Of his
death excepting through the fact that
they lose bis managing ability. Mr. Hun.
tington was a strong and able man-a
man of great deal Of character and
mind. He was broad minded and be ex.
ibited his ability in what he has gone
through within the past IA or 15 years.

THE FREIGHT BUSINESS.
IT Is NOT A HAPHAZARD THING MANY
SUPPOSE.
Lewiston JoURNAL.1

Most people haYe an idea that freight
is the last thing that railroads look after.
Many profess to believe that a piece of
freight once started on its journey Is al
lowed to loaf along at it's own sweet will
and pleasure, stopping where it wishes,
and staying as long as it likes, land only
bringing up at it's destination when there
is nowhere else to 60.
When you have waited lday after day
for that piano which was shipped month
ago, you are ready to adopt that opinion.
But don't be in hurry. When that

THE PROPYLAEA.
MAJESTIC ARCHITECTURAL ORNAMENT
AT THE PAN-AMERICAN.

MAJESIlC OIhNA AIGN l y
AT THE PAN-AMERICAN.
The Propylaea at the Pan-American
Exposition at Buffalo In 1901, will mark
the northern boundary of the Plaza and
the extreme northern limit of the Grand
Court. This elaborate and beautiful
architectural ornament will serve
the purpose of colossal screen,
shutting out from the noisy
and smoky reminders Of the toll and
care of our everyday life. The Pro-
pylaea Is magnificent creation, treated
with fine artistic skill. The combined
work lie 500 feet long, consisting Of two
massive arched entrances or gateways
at the extreme eastern and western ends
of a long, gracefully curved colonDade.
These gateways are SO feet wide and 81
feet high. Two open towers surmount
the sides of each arch, and above the 20
tall Ionic columns that form the colon.

AGRICULTURAL BUILDING.
A HANDSOME STRUCTURE DEVOTED To
THE INTERESTS OF THE FARM AND
PLANTATION.
AGRICULTURAL BUILDING

The agricultural industry will have
4 fitting setting at the Pan-Amer'can
Exnosition at Buffalo during the sum-
mer of 1901, A commodius and richly
proportioned building will be devoted
exclusively to the interests OF the farm.
SO wonderful has been the development
Of agriculture and 80 marvelously has
the productivity Of soils been Increased
by the application of scientific metnods
1t IL no exaggeration to say that, poten-
TALLY, the cultivated acreage OF the
world has been doubled within few
wears. Science has indeed made two
blades of grass to grow where but one
grew before. More than that, 1t has, by
irritation, made the deserts to blossom
as the rose.
The Agricultural building will stand
oppolte the Manufactures and Liberal
IL building on the north side OF the
Mall, it's longest facades looking to the
north and south. On the east will be
the Live Stock Exhibit, to which about
ton acres are devoted. Northward will
be the Stadium covering another ten
acres. On the west is the Grand Court
with the Electric Tower, 34S feet high,
and the Electricity building just beyond.
There are four broad entrances to the
building. Opposite the northern en-
frances ia an artistic bridge crossing the
Great Canal. Vaulted loggias connect
the east and west entrance with the
main entrance on the south, and from
these elevated promenades the people
may view the throng Of sightseers upon
the Mall. The low tiled roof overhangs
the walls eight feeG, making deep shad-
ow over the richly decorated cornice.
The east and west entrances are made Of
lattice work to initiate an arbor. The
lattice ia fastened to the dome, ceiling
and walls, then, on background Of blue,
erapevines produce the effect of looking
through to the open air. The southern
entrance, which Ia 30 feet wide, IL 1lanked
on both sides by large groups Of stat
uary. Above the doors and following
the lines of the arch, panels will be
painted to represent the signs of the
zodiac. On either side of the vestibule
are large inches affording places Of rest
and retreat from the crowds. On either
side of the south entrance at the inter.
section of the loggia are large consoles
surmoanted by figures representing the
"Sowing'' and "Reaper." The Agri-
cultural building is 100 by 500 feet, and
contains exposition space to the amount
of about IS 900 square feet.

THE WAY OF ONE WOMAN
MRS. TETAZ DECLINES TO ACCEPT
ALIMONY GRANTED By COURT.
Amount Is Being Held for Her by the
CIerk-News and Gossip of
the Courts.

At the county clerks office there Is $500
of alimony waiting for a woman who
scorns to touch the money. Attorneys
say the case has no precedent in this
county so far as they can remember. The
woman who is entitled to this money is a
Mrs. Tetaz. who was the defendant in a
suit for divorce tried last June, in Room
2, Superior Court.
Judge feathers tried the case and grant
ed the divorce to the husband. He gave
Mrs. TetaZ allmony in the sum OF $500
and a short time after the divorce was
granted this amount was paid into court.
The day the divorce was granted Mrs.
Tetaz declared she would never accept
penny of her husbands money. but the
attorneys laughed at her and supposed she
would change her mind about accepting
the money in a day or two. Her attor-
ney. John o. Spahr, has lately tried to
induce Mrs. Tetaz to claim the money.
but she is obdurate and declares she will
never touch it.
The Tetaz divorce case was a most I'M
usual one. In the midst of the trial Mrs.
Tetaz. with a voice full of emotion, cried
out to the court that she was not the
wife of the man who was testifying against
her. Judge Leathers at once stopped pro-
ceedings and instructed Attorney Spahr.
who was in the room, to consult with Mrs.
Tetaz about her case. She had come into
court without a lawyer. She explained
to Mr.. Spahr that she was in doubt about
being the legal wife OF Tetaz. She said
her former husband went away years ago
and never returned. She had never heard
of his death and was of course not sure
that she was the legal wife of Tetaz. Her
outbreak in the courtroom was caused by
her excitement and anger aroused by the
testimony brought out against her. 1t
has been suggested that the funds be-
longing to her at the clerks office be
turned over to some trust company to be
invested for the benefit of her estate.

CRY FROM FORT BRANCH
CLERK OF THAT PLACE WANTS
MOUNT VERNON GUARANTEED.
Says There Are Over Two Hundred
Cases of Smallpox in Po-
sey County.

DR.. Hurry, secretary of the State Board Of
Health, received letter from the city clerk
of Fort Branch yesterday, demanding the
State Board of Health to at once quaran.
tine the city Of Mt. Vernon, Posey county.
as there were over two hundred cases of
smallpox in that place! When asked what
action the board would take in the
matter, DR.. Hurry said that at the present
time tn, board would not interfere in any
way, because the local health board at Mt.
Vernon was doing everything within it's
power to check the disease. and the State
Board of Health was only needed in the
localities where the people refused to pro-
tect themselves. Sixteen new cases of the
disease were reported from Greene county
yesterday, and DR.. Cole, the local health
officer. has written the State Board that he
is having lot Of trouble with the local
physicians, who insist on diagnosing the
disease as chickenpox. Two new cases were
also reported from Owen county, near Coal
City. The health officer of Owen county
writes that at least 60 per cent. of the peo-
pie in that county have been vaccinated.
The health officer at Waldron, Shelby
county, reported yesterday that in the fam
lily of Barbara Thibo there We're eight cases
of typhoid fever, two of which have result
ed fatally.
