Astronomy Destroys Ambition.

New York World
Lord Rosebery recently deprecated the
study of astronomy because it destroys
ambition" His point is well Illustrated
in the current news of the queer dotngs
of the star that blazed out for US in the
constellation Perseus in February, 1890.
The favorite theory of the origin of this
star is that two great dead and dying
suns rushed together in the vast and
populous yet empty infinities of space
and were set on fire by the stupendous
impact. The telescope now. reveals
strange perturbations tnere-enormous
masses of molten matter moving about
at rate that can hardly be less than
$1,000 miles a second.
No figures which the human mind can
grasp would express the size of the
bodies involved or the extent of this con-
fagration And. most crushing of al
to the imagination of man, this star
is SO far removed from our tiny mic ne
in the universe that although light trav-
els more than $50, 900 miles a second, the
events of this drama which we are now
observed occurred between 1900 and 5000
years ago.
AS Lord Rosebery suggested, the study
of such facts as these do not tend to
give a man the sense of his own i'm
portance necessary to his acting upon
the theory that his puny possibilities are
worth developing.

Claim That Road Was Mismannsed

TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 29.-Yesterday suit
was filed by Austin B. Fletcher, of New
York, on behalf of the creditors and
stockholders of the Ann Arbor railroad
against Wellington R. Burt, president Of
the road. asking Judgment for $1,000, 600.
The petition AYERS that Burt. as receiver
of the road, mismanaged the property,
concealing the amounts of money! that he
paid for improvements with the intention
of depreciating the price of the property
in the market in order that .he and his
associates might buy in the same at a
low price. In consequence of his repre-
associates bought it in for $2627,000. They
Immediately issued s7,OO0,OOO of bonds
against it and ,s7,25o0ao9 Of f. stock: It is
claimed that this 14,250,OOO is In fact
something like the true value of the prop
erty. which was well known to Burt and
his associates.
plaintiff seeks to recover in his own be-
half and in behalf of all the creditors and
stockholders the amount of their damage
by the sale of the property.

MAKE A RATE OF oNE-HALF FARE.
Eastern Roads Make Concessions in
View of Anti-Pass Agreements.

Eastern Roads Make Concessions In
View of Anti-Pass Agreements.
Local passenger agents are in receipt
of a circular upon the pass question sent
out by F. V. Buskir, assistant general
Messenger agent of the Erie road. The
circular. in substane, is a statement to
the effect that the employees of trans
portation companies can, upon applica-
ton of their general passenger agents,
secure half-rate tickets over the system
for themselves and their immediate
families. Their children, between the
ages of five and twelve, will be carried
for one-fourth of the regular rate.
This circular while stating the terms
very plainly, does not cover the most
vital point at stake between the Eastern
and Western companies. That is the
transportation of travelling agents 1t
cannot be seen from the circular wheth-
er or not these men come under the
half-fare rate or not. And then again,
If they do, it would appear that every
time they desired to make a trip they
would have to get an order from their
passenger agent, which would entail an
endless amount of red tape and trouble.
Most of the Eastern roads have adopt-
ed the same rules except that some of
them will extend the half-rate courtesy
to the employees of telegraph and express
10 the men in the railway mail service.
In view of this strict anti-pass agree
ment this is regarded as liberal enough
by most of the officials here, but they
state that they would like to know def
nitely just what is to be done in the
matter of the travelling agents. Some
of the Eastern roads have held that in
asmuch as these men travelled at their
own expense, it is no more plausible
that they should give them passes than
it would be to issue them to a travelling
Balesmen for a mercantile house.
Many of the roads are extending their
annual and trip passes until jan l, which
is unusual. 1t has been the custom with
most of the Eastern roads to extend
them until the 18th of the month, but
that was simply because they could not
get cut the new passes before that time.
Now, however, it seems that they are
Srying to make it little easier for the
holders of passes. 1t is still an open
question among the railroad men as to
whether or not the agreement will hold

NEW ROAD IN MONTANA.
Rapid Progress Made by Crows Nest
Southern Railway.


According to recent accounts, the
Crows Nest Southern railway in a few
months will be carrying coal to the Mon
tana shelters. Construction work is
making good progress, grading is almost
finished, and track laying has been be-
gun on the section from Jennings, Mont,
to the boundary. North of the interna-
ticnal line there has been some delay
occasioned principally by reason of diff
ficulties experienced in getting the per-
mission of the government for right of
way, etc. Now, however, comfortable
camps have been erected and work is
making good progress. Operations viii
be carried on all winter, as there will be
but little snow or frost to interfere The
contractors claim that it is difficult to
secure enough men. Owing to the alien
labor law, men cannot be brought from
Spokane and other cities to the south of
the line. and, on the other hand, it costs
too much to bring workmen from East
ern Canada. The road in Montana runs
parallel with the Kootenay river. About
Aug. l, when it became known that oper-
atoms had actually begun, laborers were
not so scarce, and consequently the work
went ahead with a rush. The number
of men employed averaged 1,7O0 1t will
take about four months to finish the
work so that trains may run over the
106 miles from Jennings to Fernie.
