BIG EXPRESS COMBINE.
An Alliance Said to Have Been Er-
fected Between Four Companies.

An Alliance Said to Have Been Ell.
fected Between Four Companies.
An alliance has been effected be-
tween the United States Express COM
pany, of which Thomas G. Plat is pres
ident; the Adams Express company
the Wells Fargo Express company
the American Express company ana
interests identified with the firm OF J.
p. Morgan & Co., says the New York
Journal. L. G. Weir, president OF the
Adams Express company; James y.
Fargo, president of the American Ex-
press company, and Francis Lynde
Stetson of counsel for the firm OF J. +.
Morgan e. Co. have been elected direct
ors of the United States Express COM
pany.
The price of the United States Ex-
press company's shares advanced al
most $40 each. A year ago they sold at
$40 a share. The latest price Is $3.50.
A large shareholder denied that the adj
vance was due to the consolidation or
interests indicated by the election or
the new directors and said the rise IN
price was caused by the enormous
earnings of the company through IT'S
contracts with the United States gov
eminent"
L. c. Weir, president Of the Adams
Express company, said his election to
the board of the United States Express
company did not signify any express
company combination. He had made
an investment in that company's stock
because he believed he would get fair
return for his money, and he promised
that the interest Of Mr.. Fargo In the
United States Express company was
obtained for the same reason.
Senator Plat and others connected
with the deal refused to give any In
formation regarding the changes In the
board Of his company. The general
Wall street inference Is that while
there will be no actual alliance be-
tween the companies harmony will pre-
vail and expenses reduced through the
absence Of competition. The three
companies control practically the eX-
press business of the country.

ROOSEVELT TO NEWSBOYS.
How the Vice President Entertaine
Them mt n Recent Dinner

How the Vice President Entertaine ed
Them at a Recent Dinner.
Vice President Theodore Roosevelt
donned walters apron the other
night, and 100 newsboys whom he
served yelled in delight and kept him
busy bringing on turkey and cranberry
pie. The occasion was the annual
spring dinner to the newsboys at the
West Side Boys home, in New York,
son, Mr.. Roosevelt's brother-in-law and
sister. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson also
acted as walters. as did their two sons,
Stewart and Monroe. and their daugh-
ter, Miss Corinne. But the boy guests
eyes followed the vice president con-
tinually as he lowered about the tables,
and he had to give some attention to
each.
When at the conclusion of the supper
he began to talk about mountain lions
and the rough riders, the boys cup of
enthusiasm was filled to overfOwing,
and they punctured his talks with
bursts of applause. He told them sto-
rleS VI Ills Tecelll uuul Ill OUlOIduO dnu
then told of the rough riders and how
the regiment came to be organized. He
took them through many Of the most
exciting scenes of the war and then be-
gan to philosophize on their chances in
life.
"In the senate chamber at Washing
ton only short time ago man ap-
preached me-" he said, land said he
wanted to thank me for what my ia
Their had done for him. He said he was
once a newsboy and that my father
had helped him through just such
home as you have here. Now that man
Is governor of Alaska. His name is
Brady, and he is a big man..
You all can't be governors of states
or territories, but you can make some
thing of yourselves if you stick to it.
Never be mean or cruel to the small
boys and girls. The brave gentleman
is tender toward others, and he pos
sesses the right kind of courage-moral
courage. Life is a football game. Play
hard, but always play fair"

The Way to Massage the Face,

For face massage firm pressure is
necessary, and a circulating motion
with the finger tips is the best. Lines
should never be rubbed downward,
always across and upward; the former
tends to produce wrinkles. The eyes
should be wiped toward the nose.

VOLUNTEER TRAck-WALKER.
Queer Character who Thinks He IL
an Indispensable Empioyc of the
Southern Pacific.

SouthcTh Fbctucs
"Did you ever hear of the S. P.'si
track walker between Deming and
Yuma?" asked an S. p. conductor of
Ling and Pin" "He is queer char
acter," continued the conductor when
he had received a negative reply, "and
| passengers often ask who he is, be-
cause of the frequency of his being
seen on the road and his strange ap-
| pearance. / have seen him many
times at different points on the road
and have heard that he is locoed
individual who thinks that he is en-
| ployed as sort of Inspector of way,
or track walker, by the Southern Pa
cific company and that he has to
walk continually over the road from
| Deming to Yuma and back, and he
sometimes gets as far down as Ell
Paso, but l had never an opportunity
to speak to him until few days ago.
l then asked him several questions
regarding his past life and his imag-
| mary job.
"He is "a tall, slim man. and wears
his hair, which is streaked with gray,
long, and his face is never clean. But
he is a harmless old fellow, and
everybody humors him; in fact, the
people along the route which he has
been travelling continually since 1882
feed him and give him cast-off cloth
ing. He told me that his name was
James c. Drumgold, and that he was
so years old. He said he came down
from California to accept his present
job from the Southern Pacific, and
that he had n brother living in that
state. He said he also had two sis
ters living in New York. He seems
to be well educated and writes an
excellent hand. His lunacy does not
manifest itself in his conversation,
but his appearance betrays it, and
the fact that he travels afoot over
that long, dry stretch of railroad
track through the summer and win
ter and has been doing so for 10
years, proves that he is mentally un-
balanced.
''Trainmen have asked him to ride,
but he says he could not attend to
his duties if he rode. / believe that
if he should find something wrong
with the track he would flag any
train that might be approaching the
dangerous spot, and thus prevent a
wreck, but if such n case has ever
happened l have never heard of it.
The railroad men all know him, and
he is known by several different
nicknames, but very few people know
his right name"
