A NICE srArERooM.
The Young Ladies in the Hotel
Thought They Were Aboard ship.

The experiences of the hotel clerk are
varied, but 1t is seldom that he has to
deal with a proposition like that which
befell Richard Munsche Of the Republican
House during one Of the foggy nights last
week The atmosphere was so thick that
the train on the Wisconsin Central Rail
way was delayed some two hours. Among
the passengers that arrived In the city
were two women who desired to take the
Pere Marquette steamer for the other side
of the lake. They announced their inteu-
ton TO the busman, climbed into his We
hicle with the other passengers and We're
driven to the Republican House. The fog
had settled down over the building. and
nothing bu the lower lights could be seen
a-burElng." They followed the other
travellers into the house, we're given
rooms and went to them. Later one of the
women appeared on the stairway Just
back Of the gentlemanly clerk and said:
That is real nice stateroom you have
given us. II is by far the best l have
ever had. But when does this boat leave
for Mauistee?''
when does this boat leave for Manis-
tee?" repeated the clerk. This Is not a
steamboat. madam: this is a hotel"
This is not a steamboat Why we told
the omnibus man to take us tc the dock,
and supposed he had done so. Have we
time to catch the boat now?'
"No. 1t left half an hour ago."
We'll, this is Joke on us. We shall
have to stay in our 'stateroom on land
until the boat leaves tomorrow n2ght. -

TRIBE TRAVELS ON A PASS.
Piute Indians of Nevada Ride Free
ON Central Pncinc.

The biggest free pass ever issued was
the one which the builders Of the Central
Pacific gave to Johnson Sides, chief OF
the Piute Indians Of Nevada. for himself
and people for life. to ride back and forth
on all except passenger cars as much as
they pleased. 1t has been a source of de-
light to the Indians to think that in one
case. at least. their paleface friends show
ed the gratitude which is so seldom ex-
pressed.
Those were polite as we'll as wise men
who daringly started that early road, even
before New York and Chicago were con-
nected by rail. They knew that without
the friendship of the Indians the task
would be almost impossible. and they be-
gan by treating the Indians we'll and
keeping their word with them-the only
Indian policy" necessary and the only
one which has ever succeeded.
If you have ever happened to ride
through Nevada on the railroad you must
have been impressed by the fact that the
Indians make themselves very much at
home on the trains. They swarm over the
platforms Of blind baggage ears. on the
platforms of the mail and express cars,
and on top OF box cars and empty fiat
cars Sometimes q freight train pulls
into Reno with more tons Of Indians and
their baggage than it has OF freight-and
there is not a cent for any of them TO pay
If there is any possible excuse for them
to travel they get aboard and 20 until
they get tired or come to the limit OF the
State which ends their pass.-San Fran

THE GENERALS SUBSTITUTE.
How He saved Buffalo Ri1 From
Some EmbarraSsment

A funny incident In the career OF Buff
falo Bill's Wild West show. Is told by
young Atlanta man. who had honors IN
expectedly thrust upon him by the
greatest aggregation of rough riders in
the world"
while Colonel Cody was conducting
his show at Madison Square Garden in
New York at one time" said the young
man. Il was visiting at the home Of a re-
tired army officer. under whom Colonel
Cody had served In his Indian fighting.
One night my host received the coupons
for a box at the show with the colonel's
compliments. The general being unable
TO go to the performance that night. he
gave the tickets to his daughter and NY
self. and when we reached the box we
found 1t was the central and most con-
spicuous OF all. When we had taken our
places and the congress OF rough riders
appeared. what was our CONSERVATION
when the whole body. headed by Colonel
Cody. made straight for our box and
there saluted. discovering too late that
the general was not there. Fortunately l
had presence OF mind enough to rise and
return the salute as best | could, but
shall think twice before | act again as
generals substitute. Constitu-

TREASURY SURPLUS
ONCE GIVEN AWAY.
DISTRIBUTED IN THE STATES.
Almost s3O.ooO.OOO Was Taken by
the States in Trust, But Not
Dollar Ever Returned to
the National Treasury.

once upon time-the phrase is ap-
propriate, although this is not n fairy
story-Uncle Sam distributed many mil
lions of dollars among the people in
sheer generosity.
This is a historical fact. 1t seems
rather odd in these days, when the agents
of that same lanky Uncle are standing at
the various seaports OF the country doing
their utmost to collect import duties and
going about in the interior country
searching, like sleuths, for some whisky
dstilier, OF tobacco manufacturer. cr OH
er producer. upon whom they can levy a
tax 1t is hard to believe that any gov
ernment which needs all the money that
1t can get ever gave away anything for
nothing.
True, it was a long while ago, this
time when Uncle Sam played the role of
the good fairy. II was back in the thir-
ties.
In 1885 the surplus In the United
States Treasury. because Of the increase
in the income caused by the tariff rates
and the sale oil public lands had reached
S42, i6S. S59.97.
The Government decided that it was
preIudicial to the public interests to car
FE surplus ABOVE So,bUU,UND, and besides
this there had been many defalcations in
the banks which held the Government
funds, and this madc the Administration
at that time more anxious to find some
way OF d!sposing of the funds.
Given TO the People.
1t was finally decided that all OF tho
surplus above the s5.OoO,0OO be divided
among the states, to be held by them
until the National Government demanded
the return OF the money. This PROPOSE
tion met with favor all over the country,
and the result was that Congress passed
an act, approved June %, 1896. authorizing z
the Secretary OF the Treasury to deposit
the extra surplus money, according to
population, among the twenty-six States
then in the Union. These payments to the
States were to be made in four Install
ments. on the first days OF January, April.
July, and October. In 1897.
The money thus to be distributed 1t
was found, was S37 46S. S59.97 Three in
stallments, amounting to $2S, ,i0l .6s4 81
were paid out Then panic came upon
the country and the fourth installment
was withheld. But the money which the
twenty six States then received has never
found its way back to the Department of
the Secretary OF the Treasury.
To understand why TIE Government has
never demanded repayment OF the money
one must know that the States which re-
ceived Il have very little of 1t now Il any.
1t seems that the people and nearly all
of the States officers believed that when
| the Government gave the money to them
| 1t was 10 be used for the development OF
those States. and where that was unncces-
sary TO be divided among the people
Nearly all the States improved them
selves in this way. All got new roads and
what not which they would probably have
| failed to secure had not the United States
Government held conscientious scrupies
against a large surplus.-Newark News.

Rivalry of the sects.

This rivalry. which was at first between
the men as men, soon became the rivalry
Of Christians. and this extended to the
congregations to which they belonged, and
the entire religious community was soon
involved Then 1t was that the bowling
alley. which had promised so much for
the good OF the community. began to be
looked upon by many as a detriment to
the cause of religion. for the bowling was
monopolized by those who did not need
such an inducement to keep them away
from the saloons, and those who might
have been so protected soon returned TO
their old hauuts.
But In another and unlookedfor quar-
ter the bowling alley was proving a mat
Ter OF concern. People began to neglect
their business to engage in the game. and
the wives who had at first brought in
their husbands in order TO keep them out
OF the saloons now came to take them
away that they might not neglect their
work Sisters came after brothers. VINO

Old Friends Fight.
To what length these things wouli have
gone can, OF course, be only matter oil
conjecture but an untoward and wholly
unexpected incident happened that sud
denly put an end to the sport. William
Campbell and Stephen Rersey have been
lifelong friends and for many years part
ners in business. Both were enamored OF
the sport OF the bowling alley. but both

Church Builds an Alley.

Collections were taken up in the
churches, the bowling alley was built.
seats were provided for women and small
children, and Darlington entered upon its
career OF innocent amusement at the ex-
pense of the church.
The place was a fascination to the peo-
pie from the start, and the church mem-
bers. who had invoked this means of
weaning the world to its cause looked
upon the results for the first few weeks
as second only to inspiration itself. Many
who had before been regular patrons of
the saloons were induced to attend at
the bowling alley instead. and wives
brought in husbands sisters brought in
brothers. and blushing sweethearts
brought in lovers, all to get them away
from the saloons and under the innocent
influences that the church had provided.
Rivalry soon had its place in the alley,
and church members themselves began to
take an interest in the games, and soon
monopolized the sport. The Presbyterian
elder and the Methodist steward. the
Baptist deacon and the member of the
official board OF the Disciples Church WED
with each other in the games, and then
the members OF the several organizations
ranged themselves on either side OF the
alley. and soon became partisans OF the
players.

Several weeks ago the ministers and
church members Of the village Of Dar-

couraged by the lack of interest which
sinners had manifested in the terms held
out to them by the gospel, determined to
secure a worldly adjunct to the cause of

might otherwise have existed had not the
