The promoters Of the enterprise
propose TO use the $500 in max

rest existing among all agricultu-
raj, mining, manufacturing and
transportation pursuits. The Illi-
nois Central railway passes thro-
ugh the great agricultural, CON-
mercial and mining states of the
Mississippi Valley. These states,
owing TO the great rainfall and the
rich alluvial soil, have TO contend
with almost impossible mud roa1s
nearly FIVE months of the year.
Frequent mud blockades occur,
paralyzing transportation and com
merce.
This train will leave Chicago
this month or next and the work
of road building will commence at
or near New Orleans, then work
ing Northward as the weather will
permit. 1t will have Pullman
with commissary To accommodate
two engineers, and roads experts,
a representative OF the National
Good Roads Association, press re-
representatives., six competent men
for operating machinery, and Ia
borers. At each place selected TO
build piece of sample road the
officials. commercial organizations
and farmers will be expected to
furnish all necessary material, adj
ditional help, teams, etc. Special
attention will be given 10 the con-
struction Of the best earth roads,
giving instructions in proper gra.
ding. surfacing and drainage, as
many of the Southern states are
without stone or gravel available
for road purposes. Conventions
will be held and organizations per-
fected Ia stimulate and advance
this movement in the several
States.
1t is TO DO hoped that Judge Ro-
chester's efforts will meet with
! The hearty approval of the people
of tins county, and that our farm
ers, business men, and miners will
Join an an effort 10 convince the
road officials that this county is a

I'VE stopped off at Burlington to give
one performance. Every man in the
company would have given a dollar
for a drink. We were up a stump,
when the stage carpenter had an idea
and disappeared
Half an hour later we were all sum-
moned to the opera house, where we
found the carpenter stirring a eoncoc-
ton in a punch bowl. Pitch in said
he, and we got away with the whole
bowlful In a hurry.
Then we asked for an explanation.
In reply the carpenter brought from
underneath the table the leading wo-
mans alcohol lamp and waved it tri-
umphantly. 1t was easy he said. /
took this over to the state liquor agent
and told him that there was no gas in
the stars dressing room, and that
there would be no show ii the leading
woman didn't get her hair in shape.
He fell for it in great shape, and l
came off with pint of alcohol safely

Bishop Whittle, so we'll known and
beloved here, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch, tells the following little story,
which may serve as an object lesson
for some of the nervous and irritable:
Il was holding meetings in a lonely
mountain district" said the Bishop
THE people were poor and ignorant
and had to come a long way to attend
the service, but they usually showed
up in line. One night / was feeling
sick, nervous, easily ratified. Right in
front of the crowd facing me sat a
handsome young woman with child
in her arms. The child began whim-
pering and crying. 1t kept on; every
minute it threatened to yell aloud;
and l could not fix my attention on
the audience for it wailing. Every
word l uttered was punctuated by a
cry or gasp, and finally 1 became so
ratified that 1 could endure it no long
er. Madam 1 said, addressing the
mother, will you not take your child
out of the room? l find it useless to
preach while it is making such a dis
turbance.'
mo, sir; 1 will not was the reply
I have carried this child four miles
over rough mountain road in order
to hear you tonight, and if 1 had pa

Never was l so reproved," said the
Bishop. That ignorant woman gave
me a lesson / have never forgotten.
The fatigue and discomfort she en-
dured in order to hear the word of
God was rebuke to my display of
nervous irritability, and possibly the
child, penned up in a close, crowded
room with strange faces around it,
had as just cause for complaint as t.

Bishop stubbs rs a Humorist.

The late Bishop Stubs of oxford
was a keen humorist, says the Youths
Companion. At times he took a freak
ish delight in shocking his clergy, and
the result was that some of them
thought him irreverent. Once he
thanked a curate for sermon on pa
tience.
Not only, Mr.. X" said he, did you
expatiate upon that virtue, but at the
same time you afforded us an excel
lent opportunity of practicing it,"
At one time he was officiating at a
country church, and was seen to hesi-
tate before descending the altar steps.
A clergyman who was present said to
him afterward:
II was on the point of coming for
ward to help you. l bought your
Lordships hesitation must be due to
failing eyesight."
Not at all, not at all, thank you"
said the Bishop. Merely a matter of
sex. I've been a bishop for twenty
years, but I've not learned how to
manage my skirts properly"
At another time he was presiding at
the presentation of pastoral staff to
another clergyman. He delighted his
hearers by an eloquent speech on the
use of the pastoral staff and what it
symbolizes. At the close there was
some dismay, and no little Snerriment
when he remarked: For my own
part, prefer an umbrella"
