NEW YORK MEETING.
Short Line Officials Interested in the
Conference.


Conference.
Great interest is being manifested by
Iical Short Line and Union Pacific peo-
pie in the meeting which is being held
in New York by the representatives of
the Hartman syndicate. Nobody here
pretends to know anything about the
nature of the business under discussion,
and there is a general expectation that
something is going &c drop, and drop
hard
Some of the officials believe that one
of the things to be considered is the
community of interests" proposition.
Under such an arrangement it is
thought that the Short Line offices may
be moved back to Omaha and the bust
ness here transacted after the fashion
of the before the segregation days.
This is an often raised bugaboo to the
gentlemen who hold down desks in the
Short Line building on West Temple
street, but they are always Interested n
it.
IF it doesn't happen now, it will hap
pen before the year is out" said one
o fthem yesterday. 1T looks like
certainty that the general offices of the
Western will be moved to Denver and
consolidated there with the Denver &
Rio Grande. Our people will see that
the two roads can be run under one
management much more cheaply. than
under two, and they'll consolidate the
Short Line and Union Pacific offices at
Omaha sure.
If such a plan were not in contem-
platiOn why hasn't a traffic manager
been appointed to succeed Mr.. Eccles?
He has been away something like two
months now, and that's d long time for
so important an Office to be vacant if
the powers that be intend to fill it at
all. L can't see anything in store ex-
cept a consolidation, and the more 1
think about it the surer it seems"
Other Shoort Line officials have ex-
pressed similar views. Vice President
and General Manager Bancroft has
been in New York more than a week
now, and the home staff knows he
wouldn't stay away from his desk that
long unless important business de-
tanned him.
1t is generally understood that sew
eral changes in the road are under con-
sideration- Among them are the build
ing OF the line from point near Car
field south on an air line to Leaning
ton, cutting off Nephi and other Utah
towns from the main line and opening
up some new country out south The
extension from Blackfooa is also being
considered, in all probability, as well
as other matters of Importance to the
road.

New York, April 3.-It is believed by
those who have been watching the mat

ing of the Denver & Southwestern
stocks has been for the interests that
have secured Denver & Rio Grande and
Rio Grande Western. The buying has
been for the purpose of gaining a con
troll, which has been evidenced by the
fact that when 100 shares were offered
they were neglected., but if a lot of 500
shares was offered it would be taken

The Crying Need of tho Home.

What is the crying need of the home :?
Not money, not intellect, not refinement,
not wisdom. 1t Is love and warm demon.
stration of love.
Life is such little thing. a short space
of years at best, and to live it through
and to have missed love In childhood
from father and mother Is tho saddest
thing in all the universe. Most people
love their children. Few fathers and
mothers would own to lack of affection
for their offspring.
But in many homes-shall say in the
majority ?-there Is lack of the real liv-
Ing love and tenderness that fill the heart
full to running over with love words,
kisses, fond caresses. The good night
kiss. the dear hand upon the little ones
head and cheek-how these things ex-
pand the soul of the child and make 1t
receptive to good influences!
To be a father or mother is to hold the
keys of heaven and hell for the human
race. The relation Is divine one, with
infinite demands, and yet how often un-
dertaken with no forethought, no sense
of the awful responsibility! Wisdom,
goodness, nobility, strength and patience
are needed by the parent and, above all,
love.-Mrs. G. M. Ogilyie In Woman's
Home Companion.

Vienna's Curious Law.

They have curious laws in Vienna and
enforce them too. Marie Friedl and Fee
lix, aged Is and 10 years respectively,
were walking along n street in the Aus
TRAN capital when they came across an
old woman staggering along under the
weight of heavy package Moved by
pity, they offered to carry it for the old
woman, n proposition to which she read
lily acceded. The kind hearted children
had not gone far before they were ar
rested by policeman for carrying par
GELS without license. The children were
taken to a police station, where the Off
GER in charge lectured them upon the
enormity of the offense. They were kept
under arrest for six hours and then re-
leased with warning.
1t seems that there is corps of ines
sengers' in Vienna to which a municipal
statute grants the exclusive right of car
rying" inside the city. The boy and girl
had violated the law by carrying the old
woman's burden, and under such an in
depreciation of the statute Il man who car
ries a package for woman with whom
he is walking may be run in" by the
first policeman who sees him.-New York
Press.

In preparing creams or lotions 1t must
be remembered that the formula should
be followed exactly IL certain results are
expected.
Fats or oils should be melted over a
slow fire by the least possible heat and
in double boiler preferably. The meth
cd as given of adding the other ingredi-
ents should be closely adhered to. Tine
lures and extracts are invariably added
at the last. when the mixture has slightly
cooled, and drop by drop, or at least very
slowly.
Glycerin, properly used, is an invalua-
BILE cosmetic. 1t whitens softens and
dissolyes coloring matter when carefully
combined with other agents, such as rose,
elder flower or orange water. 1t is very
Injurious used in concentrated form, as 1t
burns, parches and yellows the skin.
Fats are the basis of all cold creams.
Wax and spermaceti are often added to
give requisite frmness, but possess no In
trlnsic value. They are inclined to clog
the pores. Perfumes, aside from being
agreeable additions, possess antiseptic
qualities and prevent oils from becoming
rancid.-Stelia Stuart in Ledger Monthly.

WESTINGHOUSE FLASK.
Odd Looking blue Bottle That Was
Given to Him by Lafayette.

Relics of the Father OF His Country,
of which the public does not generally
know, are extremely rare, but gentle
man of Southampton county has one
which has attached to it story of more
than the interest of the great majority Of
the stories which parson Weems began
telling about Washington and which were
believed by two or three generations Of
young Americans.
The relic in question Is whiskey flask.
which has for a long time been on the
center table in the parlor of the pretty
home of Mr.. Robert Il. Bishop OF South
ampton county. 1t has been in his fam
lily for over a century, ever since his an
cestor served as an orderly at the head
quarters of General Washington at the
siege of Yorktown. If it ever leaves the
Bishop family, it is safe to say that the
sum paid for it will be about that which
Mr.. Bishop could get for his farm.
The flask holds half pint and is of old
fashioned blue glass. Running over the
outside are seams OF what looks like
china or porcelain. 1t Is not exactly a
glass bottle perhaps, but, for the lack Of
a name for the material composing it, 1t
Is called glass.
The story behind the interesting relic
Is not very long one, but 1t Is full of In
terest. The bottle was given to Stith
Bishop, soldier in Washington's army,
and an ancestor of Mr.. Robert Bishop,
the present owner. Mr.. Bishop was an
orderly at Washington's headquarters
during the siege of Yorktown. 1t was
probably after the surrender of Cornwall
lis that General Washington sent Order
ly Bishop over to Williamsburg on bust
ness. After giving him various direc-
tons regarding what he was to do in the
old capital, General Washington gave to
his orderly the bottle and told him to
have it filled with good whisky at a tav-
ern in williamsburg There is no tradi-
ton as to the brand the soldier was di-
rected to purchase, which is unfortunate,
as the enterprising distiller of today
would find it an excellent name for the
liquor he is making at present. But Mr..
Bishop did remember that the general
charged him to be careful not to break or
lose the bottle, as 1t was present made
him by the Marquis de La Fayette.
or course Orderly Bishop once knew
why he did not return the flask, and Of
course he told the family when he came
home from the war, but the reason Is for
gotten, and ii is not likely that 1t will be
known again.
The bottle is guarded most sacredly.
A glass case has long covered it, and it
is seldom raised TO allow closer inspec-
ton. The genuineness of the relic is be-
yond question. Its history has been a
part of the history of the Bishop family
for generations. Richmond Times.
