AN EMBARRASSING ERROR.
Awkward Mistake Made BY the Man
Who Envied His Friends
Good Luck

A Cleveland man made a sad mis-
take the other day, and il taught him
a lesson that he Will long remember.
He was in Detroit and went down to
the railway station to take the train
for Cleveland in company with a
friend-also a Cleveland man. The
man who made the mistake called the
attention of his friend to the fact that
a comic opera troupe was going by
the same train, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
There are lot of pretty girls in
the company" he said.
"All right" laughed the friend. "I'r
stroll through the train and have a
look at them"
The friend entered the chair car
and the man who made the mistake
strolled forward into the smoker. He
stayed there for some little time and
then thought he'd go back and look
up his friend. He found him present
~ He was seated beside handsome
ly-dressed lady of attractive appear

an animated conversation.
The man who made the mistake
was a COED deal astonished. He
paused in the aisle and extended his
hand.

when we reach Cleyeland-so good

"Good-by." said the friend.

pleasant journey" said the man who |
made the mistake, and he slyIy |
smiled
"Oh, yes" said the friend.
The man who made the mistake felt
a little nettled. His friend might at
least have introduced him TO the LADY.
So he reached over as he turned to re-
tire. and, patting the friend on the
said; well. you are a lucky

He noticed that the friend frowned
and the lady looked surprised. Then
he hurried up the aisle with broad

Too Much CompIacency.

LONDON, Oct. 16-Lord Rose

Birmingham on the necessity
of Great Britain being better

the dangers of British compla-

devouring anxiety to improve ex-

and the apparent impossibility
OF accumulating any fortune,
however gigantic, which shall
satisfy or be sufficient to allow of
leisure and repose."
Later in his address Lord Rose
berry observed: "a disdain of

Britain we can afford to catch
the complaint, at any rate in a

THREE BIG ONES
Great Railway Combines Now in Process
of Formation.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-It can
now be announced that a striking
exemplificatlon of the commu-
nifty of interest idea will be given
IN details within few weeks.
Three combinations will control
practically all of the trunk lines
OF the country. IL order to ef-
feet these consultations without
violating the state and federal
statutes, three organizations. to
be designated proprietary" con-
Germs, will be formed. Each
company will have in it's treasury
the controlling capital stock of
so many railroads.
Thus all of the Vanderbilt
lines are to be merged. Besides
the latter group there will be
two, managed by J. j. Hill and
E. H. Hartman respectively.
The former of the two will ANAL
gamate the Great Northern, lake
and deep-water steamships cor
poration and a few subsidiary
railway lines in addition to hold
ing a minority interest in the
Union, Southern Pacific and Bur-
lington.~ roads. The Hartman
combination will include many
companies that must not be men
toned as yet, but it may be
stated that Hartman has abso-
lutte control of the Northern
Pacific and that he has bought
all of Hills Erie securities.
Specific information will be given
later, when details are perfected.

OVERSTREET HAS VIEWS
Wants Law Making Silver Dollars
ExchanseabIe for Gold
Indiana Congressman is not Afraid OF
the Treasury Surplus and Thinks
War Taxes m0u be Reduced.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 10
Representative Overstreet of In
diana had a talk with the presi-
dent yesterday IN reference to
financial legislation, and he be-
lieves that the bill he introduced
in the last congress to strength.
en- the gold standard will have a
good chance to be enacted at the
coming session. The bill in brief
makes the silver dollar exchang-
able for gold in conformity with
the present parity clause Of the
gold-standard law, and, as Mr..
Overstreet says, more clearly to
establish that parity. The bill
permits the burden of such ex-
changeability to rest upon the
reserve fund of the treasury in
the same manner in which the
greenbacks now rest upon the
reserve.
"This provision has been con-
sidered to be in complete har-
mony with the gold-standard
act," said Mr.. Overstreet, but
thus far has been kept out by
some who doubted the policy,
not its wisdom.
"The bill which | advocate
would make absolute the gold
standard act and settle all ques-
tions in connection with it for
all time. l regard the prospects
for the passage of the bill as
good. Every day demonstrates
the wisdom of the gold-standard
law, and the people are convinc-
ed that it was a wise measure of
legislation. We cannot do too
much to make it secure"
Mr.. Overstreet was asked
whether he considered the pres
ent large surplus in the treasury
in any way a menace to the finan-
nial situation.
by no means" he answered.
Il am glad we have the surplus,
and l am not one of those in a
hurry to spend it. The country
in 1884 became worried over a
surplus and made change of adj
ministration. That source of
worry was promptly removed,
however, as the people we'll re
to their cost"
Mr.. Overstreet believes the
war taxes should be further re-
duced, and that there could safe
ly be some notifications made in
customs taxes if this could be
done without entering upon a
general tariff revision.

AUSTRIAN CRISIS
Trade Conditions Depressing and Threat.
ening in Europe.

LONDON, Oct. Is. = In the
course of long description of
the depression of trade in Aus
tria and Hungary the Vienna
correspondent of the Standard
says:
"There are fears of serious
economic crisis. The worst sign
is the fact that the largest in
dustrial undertakings in all
branches have been compelled to
resort to considerable reductions
of establishment. The reasons
given are keen German competi-
tion and the withdrawal of credit
owing to loss of confidence
throughout the malad ministra-
ton of large joint stock con-
Germs.
DIR. Won Korber, the Premier,
today (Monday) promised the
president of the Vienna chamber
of commerce that orders would
be placed for large public works.
and that all available means
would be employed to assist the
suffering industries.

NEW CANON REJECTED
Episcopal Deputies Kill Proposed Law
on Marriage and Divorce.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16-The
troublesome question of marriage
and divorce was set at rest for
another three years yesterday by
the action of the house of depu-
ties of the triennial Episcopal
convention in rejecting both of
the proposed canons on the sub
ject, which were passed by the
house of bishops. The greatest
fight of the convention has been
over section of Canon 36, vir-
tually forbidding the remarriage
of a divorced person by a priest
of the church. This had passed
the house of bishops and had
been adoped by yea and nay
vote in committee of the whole
of the house of deputies. When
the committee rose and reported
its work to the house a decisive
vote was taken, not only on the
troublesome fourth section, but
on the entire canon, which was
rejected as a whole. Canon 81,
which provides for the disciplin-
ing of persons marrying again
after being divorced, met with a
similar fate.

LAW OF MOST PHY FOR LERST WORK
DEFENDED.

Edward Garrity, assistant Sec
retary of the Amalgamated
Society Of Railway Servants,
says in reply:
Mr.. Booth wants al, the moral
ity on one side. The employers
long ago adopted the principle
of getting everything possible
out of their employees for the
wages paid. Self-preservation
has compelled US to retaliate in
kind. We are perfectly willing
to give reasonable service for a
reasonable wage, but we must in
sist that employers show an
equal willingness to give a
reasonable wage for reasonable
service. Mr.. Booth takes high
ground and we should like to
come up to his level, but we can
not, since the employers require
our presence on lower level.

BALLOON FAILED
Attempt to Cross Mediterranean IN
Airship Abandoned.

H"SihP HDosruoitSo'
PARIS, Oct. 16-The attempt
of the Count de la Vaulx to cross
the Mediterranean in a balloon,
which left Les Sablettes, near
Toulon, Saturday night has fail
ed.
The minister of marine, NJ. de
Lanessan, has received a dispatch
from Toulon announcing that the
cruiser Du Chayla, which was
escorting the balloon. is return
ing to port with the balloon and
her passengers, which she pick.
ed up ten miles east of ST. Laur-
ente lighthouse.
The balloon was uninjured.
The result of the experiment
did not cause any surprise after
the news brought to Marsailles
by incoming steamers yesterday
that the southeast winds, which
were blowing out at sea, would
carry the balloon to the coast of
Spain or to Gibralter. More
over, the latest news from the
passengers of the balloon indi-
Gated that it was proceeding
very slowly. These two factors
probably caused Count de la
Vaulx to abandon his attempt.
