BOTH HANDS REMAINED UP.

Whatever differences of opinion may
exist in regard to other subjects, those
who have been held up by highwaymen
are unanimous in the statement that no
matter how few the holders-up or how
many they held up, each and every man
said that the robbers weapon was
pointed directly and solely at him.
Years ago in California traveller was
on a stage coach that a pair of bandits
We're all made to get out and stand in
a row with their hands high over their

over them with a double-barrelled shot
gun. while the other engaged in the
pleasing task of relieving them of their
valuables and spare cash. This partlc-
ular traveller was nearest the man with
the shotgun.
While the ceremonies were in progress
his nose began to itch, and instinctively
he started to lower one hand to scratch
it. Hands up therer' came the stern
order and his hand went automatically
back into place But that itching redou-
bled and again he essayed the relieving

you anyhow" demanded the highway
man. Are you wishing to become

the sufferer, Il simply have got to

with that he proceeded to scratch the
offending nasal organ with the muzzle
of his shotgun.

A wHIsTLINe STATION.
Kansas City Doesn't Like to Be Ig-
nored by the Flyer.

The Santa Fe makes a whistling sta
ton of Kansas City with its eastbound
California flyer and Kansas City doesn't
like it. No. 4 just spurns the Union de-
pot, and goes over the Belt Line tracks.
The continued whistling of the engine
and ringing of the bell constitutes the
only recognition the city gets that there
is such a place on the map.
The fact that the limited train cuts
out the Kansas City sleepers at Topeka
to be taken in on train No. which
reaches there about O'Clock, accounts
for it. Passengers in the remaining
sleepers are bound for Chicago and
eastern points, consequently there is no
reason for stopping at Kansas City be-
tween 2 and o'clock in the morning.

POVERTY IN RUSSIA.
Henry Norman in scribner's.1

Henry Norman in Scribner's1
Long train journeys in Russia are de-
pressing experiences. Once past the
limits Of the towns, every village is the
samoa wide street or two-not really
streets, of course, but deep dust or mud,
according to the season, and from a
story wooden houses, usually dilapi-
dated, and a church. Russia is still first
and foremost an agricultural country;
she produces INCLUDING Poland two
thousand million bushels of grain, and
grain products form more than half her
total exports to Europe; therefore, at
the right season there care great stretches
of waving fields, and later the huge
mounds of straw, when the grain has
fertile districts that the worst famines
occur for famine-a little one every
year, a big one every seven years-has
now become a regular occurrence. And
the country, as one flies across it, leaves
the general impression of Indulgence. In
sharp and painful contrast with western
Europe, there are virtually no fat stack
yards, no coy farm house, no chateau
of the local landowner, no squire's hall
-pitiful assemblages of men and wo-
men just on the hither side of the starv-
disease is rife. Whole villages, I was
told by men who knew them well. are
poisoned with syphilis. and the authori-
ties. gravely alarmed at this terrible
state of things, have appointed of late,
several commissions of inquiry TO de-
wise remedial measures. Drunkenness,
too, is a national vice, the peasant having
his regular bout whenever he has saved
up a small sum.

New Financial Interests Obtain Con-

New York, Oct 26.-The Times says:
The Vanderbilts have obtained control

Negotiations aiming at this accom-

he said, and, owning 1t, he proposed to
keep it He wanted no alliances which

The death of Mr.. Huntington however
brought about a complete change in the
situation. The control Of the Southern
Pacific it can be said, has been obtained
by American financial interests not hith-
