Meeting.

The December meeting of the Local Coun-
col of Women was held yesterday after
moor at the Propylaeum with a very fair
attendance of delegates, representing the
various societies affiliated with the council.
"Art-Municipal, Household and in Our Pub
lie Schools was the subject of the after
noon and papers on the subject were read
by Miss Mary Dean, Miss Seegmiller and
Miss Mary T.. Robinson. Art in the Public
Schools" was the subject of Miss Seegmil-
ler's talk. Miss SeegmilIer told of the work
accomplished in the public schools i'm the
past few years in ART. Twenty-Five years
ago art was introduced in Boston schools
ard since that time IL has steadily increased

the United States that does not number

REMAINS OF ]. ]. FLETCHER.
Funeral VIII Occur i'm This City
To-Day.

The remains of ]. J.. Fletcher. late traffic
manager of the Kansas City. Fort Scott &
Memphis road, arrived in the city yestcr-
day afternoon, and the funeral will occur
this afternoon at his brothers residence.
The family and friends of the deceased ac-
companied by III. G.. Wilson, assistant gen
eral freight agent of the road, occupied the
private car of the late traffic manager, Mr..
Wilson being in charge of the funeral
party. The Kansas City Journal, in com
menting on Mr.. Fletcher's death. says:
Mr.. Fletcher was one Of the most popu-
lar and widely known railroad men in the
country, having devoted his life TO the
work. He had been connected with the
Memphis Route since 1892, and was one IF
the roads most valuable and trusted Off
Gals. BY his death not only does the Mem
phis Route suffer a great loss, but Kansas
City also loses one of its leading citizens.
For the past eight years he has been a
moving spirit in the Commercial Club, and
was a director during the years OF 1893 AND
1899. He was also a member of the Kansas
City Club. the Country Club and the KAN
sas City Driving Club. Since his residence
here Mr.. Fletcher had always been in the
front rank of those working for the city's
interest, and during September, October
and November of last year, when the Bur-
lington Disseminated against Kansas City
in favor of Omaha, in the freight charges
on packing house products. Mr.. Fletcher
was a strong factor in carrying on the fight
for Kansas City's interests. His death is
mourned by a host of friends in all parts
of the country, as to all who came in con-
nection with him he was the same sterling
type of gentleman and he made friends
with all whom he met. He was a nan with
a kind, loving nature, but with a thorough
business sense and a man who stood at the
top in railroad circles. Two years ago Mr..
Fletcher's health became such that he was
forced to leave his official duties, and in
hopes of being benefited went TO Germany,
which resulted in a temporary benefit, but
shortly after his return he again began to
fail. But through 1t all he did the duties
OF his office, absenting himself very little
His death is keenly felt by j. Q. Van
Wrinkle, general superintendent Of the Big
-Four, and by Ford Wood, general freight
agent of the Peoria & Eastern lines, as in
the beginning of their careers in railroad
service the three started as peanut boys
on trains running out Of the old Union Sta
ton.

TRAFFIC OF NOVEMBER
FEWER LOADED CARS THAN LAST
YEAR, But HEAVIER TONNAGE.

Pacific to BE Reorganized

The train records show that the fifteen
lines centering here handled in November
a total of 112, 63S cars. $500 being loaded.
This is a fewer number than were handled
at indianapolis i'm either 1899 or 1898. but
freight traffic officials claim that the tom
mage was in excess of either OF the preced-
ing years, so much more Systematically are
cars loaded and so large a per cent. being
new cars of 10000 pounds capacity, one
third more capacity than the cars of but a
few years ago, some of which are still in
use, but chiefly on divisions where the
traffic is light. Had companies been able
10 furnish the cars called for the exhibit
would be much more favorable. During
the month so per cent. less grain, it is
estimated. was handled than in November,
1893. while the shipments OF dressed meats,
produce and live stock were the largest IN
any November in the history of the roads;
the coal shipments of local lines were the
largest in the last twelve years, owing
TO the partial failure of natural gas, which
compelled many of the manufacturers to
stock up with coal for fuel and the more
important business houses as well.

A LETTER FROM BRYAN.
1t VIII Do to Show to Anybody Except

81 received a nice letter from William J.
Bryan the other day." said a man in a
group in one of the courthouse corridors
yesterday. Bryan is a great deal more
thoughtful and considerable than 1 had any
idea he was, for as you can see he wrote
his answer to my letter entirely in his own
handwriting with pen and ink" AS he

champion of the distinguished Nebraskan

took hold of the letter with great eager
ness and examined it intently for several
minutes He was about TO hand the letter
back TO its owner. when he happened to
glance at 1T again and noted something pc

A Section Hands Reply.

If a student of the habits Of men were
called upon to name a class Of men for
whom time passes rapidly he would scarce
ly pick upon railroad section hands. And
yet, according to the testimony in the
damage suit which was on trial in Judge
Bakers court yesterday, time glides by
very swiftly to the men whose duty it is
TO take daily walks along a designated
part of a railroad company's tracks. John
Flynn was a witness for the Baltimore q
Ohio Southwestern Railway Company in
the damage suit for personal injuries
brought against it by w. c. Nette, an in
surance man. Flynn is "A section man and
displays an intimate knowledge of the bust
ness. Attorney Smiley N. m in
cross-examining Mr.. Flynn for the plaintiff
asked him if he had ever been a section
hand on any other part of the railroad
than the one upon which he is now en-
gagged. Yes, sir" replied Flynn. "When
was THAR asked Mr.. Chambers. ooh.
several years ago" replied the witness.
How many years?" insisted the lawyer.
why about twelve or fifteen. / guess.
returned Flynn with an air of perfect
nonchalance. OH calculated the attor-
ney. while everybody in the courtroom
smiled.

THE GAS ORDINANCE.
Committee VIII Consider the DOcu-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Chairman Negley. of the councllmanic
committee on judiciary, which will con-
slider the new gas ordinance recently intro
duced in the City Council, will call a meet
ing of the committee for this week to take
up the gas ordinance. He says he is still
unable 10 note any material difference be-
tween the new ordinance and the one that
vas defeated in the Council last winter,
but the committee will duly consider the
new ordinance. Mr.. Negley was not in the
least worried over his resolution being lost
IN the Couhcli MONDAY night, which pro-
vided for an Investigation of all charges
against councilmen. He said the fact that
the Democrats voted against it placed them
on record and the matter may not be
brought up again unless in the form of a
resolution TO Gust Higgins from the Coun-
Gil since he has been sentenced TO the peni-
tertiary for soliciting Il bride from ID. NJ.
