inc more railroads the people get the less
taxes they will have to pay. Railroads besides
furnishing transportation facilities and easily
doubling values of lands in communities
where they run, pay large amount Of taxes,
as above stated. Speaking of the proposed
railroad from vicksburg to Birmingham by
Canton, the Times OF that place, says; "Isi-
dore Gross, Dave Levy, A. Tuteur, p. Trolio
and John Wohner have become interested in
the matter, and that means success. A char
ter has been secured and capital arranged for
to complete the work. The survey will soon
begin, rs the parties are ready TO 60 to work
We hope our people will render the enterprise
all the encouragement such an Important mat
ter deserves, in contributing right Of way and
aid in the survey, as we understand that Is all
that will be asked Of them. There isnot man,

eventually, factories. 1t will bring trade TO
Canton from long distances in every direction,

statement, though said nothing. He
started with his story, but he had not
gone very far before he made lengthy
and tiresome discussion from the sub
ject. He jumped the track twosor three
times in this way, until finally his sto-
ry, as far as he had progressed, was n
mere tumble of words. Suddenly, as
we reached Grand Circus park, he
stopped and began to smooth his knees
and rub his hands in the most peculiar
fashion.

met Miss Chester this morning. Did
she not tell you put her in a cab?"
j.. Miss Chester laughed. Ross Stafford
laughed. And the bewilderment of the
head Of the house of Stafford, of the
golfng son, and the studious son, as
they in turn were presented, set them
laughing again.

Whereat Ralph grew guiltily red.
Helen Stafford reached home before
dinner was over. Her brothers rap
turous reception amazed her. Never
had she know how they missed herl
Nor could she dream that each Of three
young hypocrites was saying to him
self:
"She won't go east in such hurry If
she and Helen take to each other"
They did take to each other. Ross
found it was not necessary to keep his
engagement that evening and permit
ted his friend to cool his heels alone at
their appointed rendezvous. Ralph
learned his tenor went wonderfully
well with the pure soprano of their
guest. And Dick was so anxious 10
initiate Miss Chester into the mysteries
of tiashlight pictures that he made him-
self no end of a bore. The country
cousin of the Staffords did not 60 east
that week nor the next. When she
did go, all the mirth and laughter of
the Stafford domicile seemed to go with
her. One morning week after her de-
parture Ralph and Dick said some bit
ter things when they discovered that
Ross had found out he must attend to
business in New York and had left for
the city on the midnight train. And
when Ross returned, silent, but smil-
ing and exultant, they were not at all
backward about telling him with true
fraternal frankness their opinion of his
conduct.
"You were awfully good to go to meet
that little country lassie," commented
Ralph witheringly. T believe you
knew all the time she was the prettiest

"Kindness-sheer kindness on my
part, dear boy. But, as 1 have striven
to impress on you, virtue is ever its
own reward"
"Oh, come OFF, entreated Dick. "You
just got the inside track, and you kept
it."
Ross pulled his mustache.

trip I had only the best interests of my
brothers at heart. My sole ambition
was to secure you the most charming
sister-in-law in the world"
Helen jumped up.

HOTELS IN SIBERIA.
A Sample of the Rooms, Accommo-
dations, Prices and Rules.

At Vladivostok we were told there were
no hotels In Khabarovk. There were
none. There are two public houses called
hotels, and to one of these. two story
log house, the London. we accompanied
our pleasant Russian travelling compan-
ions. There are Is rooms in the London.
Mr.. Martzinkovich took two for his fam
ily, we took one, and the landlord took
us all in. To get any room was luck. Ev-
cry day people were turned away with
their loads of bones and bundles. What
became of them Is an unsolved mystery.
The disappointed men frowned and said
hard things, and the women, ever pa
tent and passive, calmly accepted the
situation.
We who were housed consoled our
selves with our window views Of the dis
appointment. We had no other consola-
ton. Our accommodations were vile. At
2 rubles q day we had the use of a room
by II feet, containing a looking glass
8 by inches nailed on the wall too
low for standing use; a small metal pitch
er and basin, the former never filed ex-
cept by special request; a single iron bed
stead, the wornout springs of which had
been replaced with boards; three shaky
chairs and a common wooden table.
The bed had a single straw mattress
and a dingy red blanket, and the floor
and table were covered with dirty and
dilapidated oilcloth. The room was pa
pered in bright blue. and the single sash
curtain was of dingy cotton. Tackled
along the wall beside the bed, probably
for ornament, was the remnant Of an old
felt piano cover.
Above the table on piece Of cardboard
were scrawled the following rules: Price
of room one day, 2 rubles; extra bed. so
kopacks; tea for one, 25 kopecks; tea for
two, 40 kopecks; dinner (three dishes), 1

BROKEN BRTC-A-BRACS.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man, of New
York, explains some very interesting facts
about Majors Cement.
The multitudes Who use this standard article
know that it is many hundred per cent. better
than other ceIIents for which similar claims
are made. but a great many do not know why.
The simple reason is that Mr.. Major uses the
best Materials ever discovered and other manu-
facturerS do not Use them, because they are
too expensive and do not allow large profits.
MIR. Major tells us that one Of the clements of
his cement costs 1878 Al pound, and another
costs S2.65 a gallon, while a large share OF the
called cements and liquid glue upon the
market are nothing more than SiXtecn-cent
glue, dissolved in water ciUrlC acid, ard in
some cases. altered slightly in color and Odor
by the addition of cheap and useless materials.
Ma ior s cement retails at fifteen cents ana
twenty-five cents Il bottle, and when Il dealer
tries To sell substitute you can depend upon
it that his only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share Of the benefit of MIR.

Humorous Coincidence.

Edgar Pembert0n tells the following
amusing anecdotc of rather startling,
not to say brusque, coincidence that
once befell Mr.. W. S. Gilbert and MIR.
John Hare, the well known manager.
"Rehearsals," writes Mr.. Pemberton,
''are enough to irritate saint. When
Mr.. Gilbert's Broken Hearts, in which
Mrs. Kendall played Lady Vavir, was
in course of preparation at the Court
theater, he and Mr.. Hare SO differed as
to the way in which certain scene
should be presented that to prevent an
outbreak each ut the same moment and
without word to one another resolved
to leave the stage. AS every one
knows, Sloane Square station is close
to the Court theater, and In a few mo-

annoyed manager, bent on getting
away from each other, found them
