In his history of New York one of the
classics of American authorships, Diedrick
Knickcrbockcr (Washirgton 1rving) wrote
lovingly, yet with uuctuous sarcasm, Of the
beauties ard traditions of ais loved ''Nieu

Hudson from Albany to Manhattan, the
many legends with which the entire region
Enthusiastically that of Rip Van Wrinkle
and his long sleep-and of the ancient names
and families whose descendants are still
power in that locality So far-reaching were
the effects of the History that in time the
name "Knickerbocker" became the popular
one for the patron saint of New ork City,
he usually being represented as benlgnant
old German of ample grth, clutching firmly
the long-stemmed clay pipe which Irving inn
mortalized and gazing over his beloved City.
Recognizing the vein of sentiment In the
American people long ago train service was
inaugurated to New York from St. Louis
| to which Father Knickerbocker lent his
name and through the efforts of the line
which introduced the service the "Knlcker-
booker Special has become as familiar to

| idents OF his own City. Leaving St. Louis at
noon, the traveller is borne swiftly and safe

| he was so familiar, arriving at New York the
next day in time for leisurely preparation
for evening.
So popular has the service proven that the
Big Four has started a new train as a COM
panion, it leaving St. Louis 500 A. NJ, re-
ceiving all Western and Southwestern con-
nections and arriving in New York at 2:55
the next day. This train is known as the
New York and Boston Limited, but the way
| farer who travels much will call it Number
Sixteen in emulation of his railroad breth-

months business has demonstrated that it is
success. The Big Four's motto is Com

SHORTY Golf Links.

Every man who has attempted country
coursessi in all their varied development has
grown to look with something of pain into
the twinkling eye of the friend who tells
him, while leading him over to the prospec-
tive course, that it is trife. Sporty But
here are the true sporty links in the
course at Singapore:
Singapore is only 80 miles from the
equator. 1t averages about 81 degrees at
midnight: played golf once, just nine
holes, and then quit, and was spectacle
fairly wet through. We played over Chi
nese graveyard, around the lunatic asylum
and hospital, and finished ON the lawn of the
orphan asylum.
1.-THE links are very sporty, the tombs
while a ball driven over the wall of the
lunatic asylum is lost and you lose
stroke and distance. The tombs are
slowly being hacked to pieces by the wild
efforts of the players to get the balls out OF
the erevices in the bricks = Golfers

NIBBLED AT POKER CHIPS.
Joke of q Philadelphia Merchant al
the Expense Of SpOrtive
Employees.

Business sometimes drags during the aft
ernoons down among the Water street
wholesale houses, and on the principle that
when the cats away the mice will play the
clerks often amuse themselves with quiet
little poker games, says the Philadelphia
Record. The proprietor of tea and coffee
warehouse left the other day about three
o'clock. But he changed his mind about
two hours later, and discovered four of his
trusted employees engaged in a game of poker.
They were caught dead to rights, and there
was nothing to do but bluff it out. There
wasn't anything going on" explained the
banker, $50 we thought we would try little
poker-just for fun, you know"
As matter of fact, they were playing a
25-cent limit game, and in lieu of chips grains
of raw coffee represented five cents each and
roasted coffee grains were % cents. III
just sit and watch you for awhile" said the
merchant, who is something of sport him
self. He pulled a chair alongside the fellow
who had the most coffee in front of him,
and the game proceeded. At intervals he
would reach over, pick up a couple of roast
ed grains and chew them, meditatively. At
the end of half hour he had eaten 1915
worth of coffee, and the erstwhile winner
could make no protest. When he finally
left the store there was twinkle in his eye.
The banker hasn't succeeded in getting his
affairs Strengthened out yet.

ANOTHER OIL MILL FIRE.
The Refinery Of the National Cotton Ol'
Company
is COMPLETELY DESTROYED BY FIRE
The Loss to Buildings and Contents
Fixed at 100000, Fully Cow
cred by Insurance.

Houston is coming in for more than It's
share OF big fires of late. Soon after the
destruction of the Merchants and Plant
ers' OIL mill came the fire that practi-
cally destroyed the stock of the Houston
Drug company and last night another
oil mill fire occurred entailing loss OF
100000.
This fire totally destroyed the refinery
OF the National Cotton Oil company, To-
Gated just beyond the city limits about
on line with GlenHooi cemetery on the
opposite side of Washington street For
tunately for the company the refinery
was located some distance apart from
the general plant, hence only the refinery
was destroyed.
How the fire started no one seems to
know.
1t was first discovered in the barrel
storage department about 6:i5 p, IN. Men
were working al The time In tho refinery,
and some in the coorerxge department;
this night work being necessary in trying
| to rush out an order fol 2500 barrels Of
oil.
The fire spread rapidly and when the
oil caught all the water in Buffalo bayou
could not have extinguished it. In fact
water did more harm than good as it
simply helped to spread the flames The
| fire department responded, but tho fire
was too far advanced for the department
| to accomplish anything. Connections
were made with the company's plugs and
they were used until the oil caught when
water ceased to be useful as an eXtin-
gudsher.
The entire building, a large wooden
structure, covering several acres OF
ground, was completely DESTROYED, to-
gether with 340O barrels of refined oil,
$50 barrels of crude oil. 500 barrels Of
soap stuff, 5000 new barrels, machinery,
pumps, tanks, etc. involving loss when
Mr.. James F. Grogan, the vice pres-
dent of the company. fixes at about $780,
600, which he says, is fully covered by
insurance, but in which companies could
not be ascertaine1 last night,
In addition to The loss of the oil com
pany three empty freight cars of the Mis-
souri, Kansas and Texas Railway COM
pany, on a siding near the refinery, were
completely destroyed.
The company will rebuild as rapidly as
possible.
