 Rumbling of the Rails

G. H. Daniels general passenger agent of the New York Central and Hudson River railroad passed through Birmingham yes- terday route to New Orleans and the Pa cifie coast He is traveling in his private car, and is accompanied by Mrs. Daniels and Miss Daniels, MT. and Mrs. Herbert Hamil and Miss Hamil, Mrs. Wilbur and M. T. Clarke. MT. Daniels is, perhaps, the best known passenger traffic man in the United States, and has been active for years in the movement to have congress pass a law that will break up the scalping business. The anti-scalping bill now pending in con- gress is partially the result of his efforts.
 MT. Daniels asked great many ques- tions about Birmingham, and said he re- greeted that he could not stop over to see the remarkable development of the district. He seemed very familiar with the new n- dustries that have been located here within the past two years, and especially with the steel mill, the wire and rod mill and oth- ers MT. Daniels and party came in on Lou isville and Nashville No. 3, which arrived a 3:45 D. m. and left over the same road at 4:05 for New Orleans They will stop over in New Orleans two or three days, and from there go to California. MT. Daniels stated to an Age-Herald reporter that he was combining both business and pleasure while on this trip, and that he made it point to meet some of the railroad men at every place where the train stopped long enough to permit of his doing so It is un- derstood that he is taking advantage of this opportunity to discuss the pending anti-scalpng bill with the railroad men of the south

Strange Family Mix-Up.

George II. Greed, a member of the
Queens county, N. Y, board of super
visors from the town of Jamaica, has
become brother-in-law to his own son
by marrying his sons wite's sitser, n
Miss Stoothoff of Jamaica.
While Greed is brother-in-law to his
own son and father-in-law to his sister
in-law, his wife becomes mother-in-law
to her own sister and also sister-in-law
to her step-son.
Should both couples have children,
the children of the elder Creed would
be both aunts and uncles to their cous-
ins, the children ofthe younger Greed.
Then, the elder Greed and his wife
would serve in the dual relationship of
grandfather and grandmother and
uncle and aunt to young Creed's chill
dren, while young Greed and his wife
would be both uncle and aunt to their
own step-brothers and sisters.

Does this Hit You.

a well-known pen pusher rises to re-
mark: The place to take the true
measure of man is not on the street,
nor in the amen corner, nor at the
forum, or in the field, but at his own fire
side. There he lays aside his mask, and
you learn whether he is an imp or an
angel, humbug or hero. We do not care
what the world says Of him, whether it
crowns him with jewels or pcts him with
eggs. We care not copper what his
reputation may be. If his children dread
his home coming and his better half
swallows her heart every time she asks
for few cents, he's fraud of the first
water, even though he prays night and
morning till he is black in the face, and
howls hallelujah till he shakes the eter-
nal hills

Confidence in Advertising.

John Wanamaker, who is probably the
largest daily newspaper advertiser in the
world, at one time early in his career
thought seriously of making an assign
mept, having put all his ready cash into
advertising. The returns from his ad-
vertising did not come in as promptly as
he had expected them to, creditors be-
came uneasy and anxious, and, after pay
ing his advertising bills he found himself
practically penniless. 1t was at this
period of his business career, when des-
pair and desperation had almost crushed
him, that Mr.. Wanamaker went to the
famous New York merchant, A. L.
Stewart for help and advice. He an
nounced frankly that he wanted to make
an assignment then and there. Mr.
Stewart listened to the story of his heavy
expenditures in advertising and answered
him with simply one word "Wait. "
After some further encouragement, Mr..
Wanamakcr returned home and within a
short period the money spent in adver-
tising began to produce profitable results.
After this incident he went into adver-
tising heavier than ever and his financial
downfall YVES averted. The story of his
continuous heavy advertising since that
time is known throughout the business
world d-Pittsburg Times.

A Family of TrampS.

Mrs. Mary Basin, her daughter, Mrs.
Edith Gray, and the latter's two small
children, who during the past two
years have travelled on foot over 1000
miles, were dodgers at the Allegheny
police station last night.
The quartet are the most unique and
singularly equipped tramps that per-
haps ever applied for shelter at
the station. They arrived in Pittsburg
from Monassa, Va, Saturday night and
walked almost the entire distance. A
large sled, pulled by Mrs. Gray, held
all the effects of the party. Among
the supplies were heavy canvas tent,
a number of cooking utensils, smoked
meat, hatchet for camp use, an I'd
numerous other articles.
The members of the party notwith-
standing their privations during the
past two years are all in splendid
health and are perfectly happy They
crossed the Allegheny mountains and
camped out several days when the
weather was below zero. Mrs. Gray,
although she was born in Virginia, is a
typical Western woman and spent
most of her life on the frontier. She
was married twice and in each case
her husband deserted her. She finally
concluded to take her mother and two
children and travel about the country
The party has visited most of the
western states and while on the plains
had q number of adventures. The
party will leave this morning for
Mercer county, where Mrs. Gray said
they will stay with her relatives, until
the cold weather is over. They will
then resume their travels. .-Pittsburg

A Very Clean Show.

Although the weather was very
threatening yesterday evening Guy
Brothers Minstrels drew out large
house. Guy Brothers have pursued a
right managerial policy and are an
nually improving their show, and this
year they present much stronger
performance than ever before.
Arthur Guy, with his natural CALI
ope in his windpipe, caught the crowd;
Flood Bros, with a very original
acrobatic act made a big hit; Arthur
Guy and Billy Crawford, the dancing
comedians, were entitled to a blue
ribbon, and George and William Guy,
the oldest minstrel team on the road,
showed that they are just as young as
they used to be.
The entrance used in the first part is
very unique and caught the crowd
immensely. When the curtain goes
up, unlike other minstrel shows, no.
body is discovered on the stage, but all
come in "from the woodsn in novel
manner.
One word before closing. Guy Bros.
have as clean performance as any on
the road. There is nothing ''sugges-
tive" about the show and ladies can
attend with the surety that their
presence will be eminently respected.
1t is great point in their reputation
and one which brings them hosts of
friends.--Ann Arbor Mich Daily.

Advice to Girls,

Girls, don't hang around the depot
unless you are going away or meeting
friends, says an exchange. Don't 90 to
church and take back seat with your
escort and then whisper and giggle dur
ing the services. Don't be loud, bolster
Gus Or slangy. Stand on your dignity;
don't carry your heart on your sleeve and
don't throw yourselves in the arms Of
every we'll dressed stranger that comes
to town. Be womanly, be modest, be
serious at times; don't unsex yourself and
thus lose wOman's greatest charm. Don't
regard your long-legged awkward brother
as nuisance; don't turn up your nose at
father and his poor grammar, and, above
all, don't play "a Hot Time" on the
piano when your mother is having "a hot
time over the wash -tub.-Ex.

Dangers of Newspaper Borrowing.

Dangers of Newspaper Borrowing.
Here is the latest story of the man
who is too stingy to take his home
paper: ga man who is too economical
to take this paper sent his little boy to
borrow the copy taken by his neighbor.
In his haste the boy ran over a $4 stand
of bees, and in ten minutes looked like
a warty summer squash. His cries
reached his father, who ran to his
assistance, and failing to notice
barbed wire fence, ran into that,
breaking it down, cutting handful of
flesh from his anatomy, and running
81 pair of pants. The old COW took
advantage of the gap in the fence, and
got into the field and killed herself
eating green corn. Hearing the noise,
the wife ran and upset four gallon
churnful of rich cream into a basket of
kittens, drowning the whole flock. In
the hurry she dropped 81 set of false
teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled
through the spilled milk and into the
parlor, running a brand new $50 carpet.
During the excitement the Oldest
daughter ran away with the hired man,
the dog broke up eleven setting hens,
and the calves got out and chewed the
tails off four fine shirts" Moral

The increase of our merchant marine
is subject deserving the prompt at
tention both Of Congress and of the
people. The scarcity of American
merchant vessels was very palpable
during our war with Spain. The Boer
trouble has intensified it by absorbing
British transatlantic liners, delaying
our commerce and hindering the trans
portation of our foreign mails. We
should be as independent on the sea as
we are on land. We can beat the world
in manufacturing and land transporta-
ton but we lack the facilities for trans
porting our goods by sea to foreign
buyers. ane Republican.
