RAILWAY PRESIDENTS DAY.
How He Keeps in Touch With the In
terests of His Company.
I'm LenJufA-l

tlh1 century,
A practical railroad man, Charles De
Land Hine, tells Of the way q railroad
president passes a representative day:
The president sends for his chief as
sistant, the general manager, and
learns officially some of the things the
private secretary has told him as gOs-
sip, and many others Of greater mo-
ment, but perhaps Of less real interest.
The half hour with the general man
ager may mean decisions involving
the expenditure of hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. The president may
tell the general manager that the de
maud for a dividend on the preferred
stock IS becoming more clamorOus, and
that they must get along another year
without the 5000 new box cars that are
badly needed and the building of when
would affect many idle men. The pres
ident very likely calls the attention of
the general manager to the auditors
estimate of last weeks earnings, and
asks why expenses cannot be reduced
just a little more.
9 = g
The president reminds the general
manager that the contract for hauling
Chicago dressed beef is conditional
upon a secCnd-mOrning delivery at sea
board two hours earlier than that pre-
viOusly given by a rival line. He also
observes that the reliability and regU-
larity of the passenger trains is help
ing the western tourist business; that
the delay to the hotel mems special by
q freight wreck last week viii hurt the
winter travel TO California, and that
tht new dining car must be made to
pay expenses. He asks why the ten
mile cost OF moving freight has not de-
creased in proportion to the recent out
lay for big engines. He ventures the
opinion that the superintendent of the
Slowburg division must have been
asleep while the city council of Ring
vIlIe passed an ordinance requiring the
company to erect ten more electric
lights at street crossings. He ex-
presses polite astOnishment at the fail
ure Of the passenger department to
book the headquarters train for the
next Grand Army encampment. He
makes no attempt at concealing his
disgust over q competitors securing
ten trainl0ads Of agricultural machin-
cry for the western prairies.
He then takes up the question of a
larger terminal charge for switching
cars TO connecting lines, and suggests
to the general manager that the rev
enues would be increased by more IA
vorable terms in the next contract with
other roads"

TRAPPING on THE YUKON.
From The Washington Star.


A thousand men, exclusive of Indians are en-
gagged In hunting and trapping in the vast extent
of fur bearing country on the upper Yukon ac-
cording to an interesting report received at the
State Department from Consul McCook at Dawson
City Dawson City Is the central market for this
fur country and sends fully forty thousand peltres
annually to the great fur markets of London and
of about S3J0OOO. The fur bearing region extends
from the Mackenzie Basin to the coast range. and
from the PoTcupine to the HOotalinqua. This is
the season. says Mr.. McCook. when hunters and
rivers and streams for the winter The work OF
reaching their destination is in most cases of an
intensely arduOus nature. they must pole their
canoes to the headwaters OF the swiftest streams
make long portases and penetrate pathess woods.

Yukon trappers. and they well deserve the sue
they frequently achieve
In Dawson London quotations govern, being fixed
of principal dealers of the city, and prices are
gauged according TO that scale in all parts of the
world except Russia. The present rates cOmDared
with last ye1r'S prices, show increase on hear
beaver, otter and mink and decrease on silver
gray fox, marten, wolf and wolverine a wide
difference which is often noted between uaxiuum
and minimum figures, says Mr. McCook is duo
TO variations in the shade and quality of the fur
and TO the time of year in which the animal was
caught For instance the peltS Of bears cauPht in
the spring just after the ALTERNATING prOCess is
over, are worth more than those secured In the
fall because their fur Is soft and thick instead of
harsh and thin. In all pelts winter fur comma nd :

more than the lighter varieties.
AS to the variety of furs Mr.. McCook saws that

this the thieves must have been aware.
Early this morning Mrs. Kessler heard foot
steps in her bedroom. She tried to arouse her
husband All efforts failed. Rising. she struck
a match to light the gas. Suddenly she was
confronted by the two men, one Of whom carried
a long club. They seized the woman by the
arms and, despite her screams. commanded her
to return to bed. Mrs. Kessler is of slight build
She fought the best she could, but they
succeeded in throwing her on the bed and while
one held her head the other applied sponge
soaked with chloroform to her nostrils Mrs
Kessler finally succumbed. the thieves left her
and went about their work looking for the
money which Kessler had placed in hiding.
The chloroform had not taken good hold on
the woman, and suddenly coming out OF her
stupor she screamed. Her cries alarmed the
thieves, who leaped from window and escaped.
When able TO rise Mrs Kessler found her hus-

ORDNANCE TESTS AT SANDY HOOK.
NEW FRENCH FIELD GUN LIKELY TO PROVE
A FORMIDABLE WEAPON.

Washington, oct. 1a-The Forthcations Board at
its meeting just ended at Sandy Hook. witnessed
the preparations making for the approaching trial
of field guns for the artillery. Several such guns
we're already on the grounds and were undergoing
private tests preliminary to the official trials which
viii begin next week and probably last three weeks
The Lewis gun. currently reported 70 be an I'M
proved model Of the French field gun, was one Of
the most noteworthy pieces on the field owing 10
the omission of one of the mechanics to charge the
oil cylinders II appeared at first that this gun was
a failure. However, the omission being discovered
and supplied the following tests were attended with
such remarkable that the board felt war
rarted fin predicting that il would prove forInd-
able candidate for the first place in the competition
the result of which will be to supply the United
states artillery arm with modern gun An
other weapon OF the rapid fire type which attracted
the attention Of the board, was the new German
field gun.
The trials about begin TO be exhaustive, for
not only viii the guns be tested for rapidity of hre
and accuracy At Sandy Hook. but at the close OF
those tests the most promising weapons viii be
taken TO Fort Riley. Kansas, and placed IN the
hands OF ariierynen there for further tests unde
actual field conditions This last trial is To be made
because experience in the field has shown that many
weapons which have performed perfectly on the
well appointed testing grounds are unable TO stand
trial of actual service. TIE FOrthCatiOns Board
will hold another meeting here on october 81.
