why the waiter wasn't Tipped.

said a joyial bachelor who reiishes the
good things of lie, according to the New
Orleans Times-Democrat, and, finding
the place crowded, got a seat at small
table with a man who was evidently
stranger in the city. He was a middle
aged, raw-boned chap. with a heavy
mustache and a bronzed skin, ana after
a little furtfve sizing up l came to the
conclusion that he was cattleman from
somewhere in Southwest Texas out on
a pleasure trip. One of the things that
led me 10 that opinion was his attire.
He was rugged out in black Prince Al

mistaken for bunko-steerer, so pro-
ceeded to order my dinner and made no
effort to open a conversation.
in little while, however, I noticed
that my vis-a-vis was having an unhappy
time of it. on account Of the extraordinary
neglect of his waiter. who was appar-
emily doing his best to spoil the dinner.
He was not only slow and impudent, but
he mixed up the courses and got every
thing twisted in a carefully elaborate
fashion that exhibited a real touch of
genius. Altogether ii was something
maddening, and / fell 10 wondering when
his victim would rise up and slay him.
but the Texan, on the contrary, seemed
to be rather cowed.
He worked his way silently through
the demoralized repast and finally caught
my eye and sighed deeply. Pears like

A HAPPY CONFERENCES.

On Wednesday it was announced in our
dispatches that the Railroad Commission
of Mississippi was highly incensed by the
action of the Southern Railway in pur-
chasing The Mobile and Ohio Railway
competing road-and that the Governor
had instructed the Attorney General of
that state to begin proceedings against
the Southern at once for the penalty pro
vided in cases where one railroad ACQUIRES
another that is in competition with it. and
also for the annulment of the charters OF
both roads, so far as they came from the
state of Mississippi.
II looked, therefore, as IL there were
stormy times ahead for the Southern, and
also for the Mobile and Ohio
In our dispatches yesterday from Biz
mnghsm, 1t was stated that there had
just been a conference there between the
Governor, Railroad Commissioners and At
torney General of Mississippi with the
officials of the Southern and the Mobile
and Ohio Railways, and that the confer
ence had been a veritable love feast
The inference is that the conclusion was
reached that the Southern and the Mo
bile and Ohio are not competing roads,
though it had been previously asserted
that they competed at more than a half
dozen points within the state of Missis-
sippi Evidently the Mississippi officials
did not understand the relations which the
two roads bear toward each other.
The truth probably is that the Missis-
sippi officials became convinced that the
purchase was. as a matter of fact a very
good thing for the state. Judging from
what the Mobile papers said about it,
the business men of that city are anxious
for the sale to stand. and it is probbale
that Mississippi interests, generally favor
the consolidation.
If this is the true situation it Is easy
to understand why the meeting at Bir-
mingham was a love feast. No doubt the
makers Of the constitution OF Mississippi
thought they were doing a great thing
for their state when they provided that
competing railroad lines should not be
consolidated, but it is evident now that
they were unable to look very far into
the future.

The osteOpathists of New York are
having before the Legislature of that
state fight pretty much like those OF
Georgia had recently before the Legis-
lature OF this state. A bill pending in the
New York body has for its purpose the
preventing OF the practice of healing. or
rather attempting to heal. of all persons
except regularly licensed physicians 1t
is aimed particularly az the faith cur
lists, the Christian Scientists and the os-
teopathists. The latter declare that it is
not within che province of a legislative
body to declare that one man under
stands the whole science of healing while
another. who differs from him in meth
DDS Of treatment, does not know any
thing at all about the matter. They say
that they have a scientifically developed
system for reaching and removing causes
Of disease without the use of drugs: that
there is neither faith cure nor humbug
about it, and therefore they feel that
they have as good a right to practice the
healing art as the men who give powders
and pills.

That was a very striking statement
which Senator Hale Of Maine made in the
Senate on Thursday. The military budget
Of the United States, he said, including
the expenses of the army and navy and
the payments on account of pensions,
would amount to $40, 900, O00-''nearly twice
as much as is paid by any European ma
ton" Our congressman. and others, are
constantly preaching about the dangers
and burdens of militarism, and pointing
to Europe as horrible example of the
load which the tax payers have to bear
to support the military; and yet here we
are already paying out two dollars for
every dollar that any European country
pays for military purposes! And the end
is not yet. We are already burdened with
militarism, in so far as mountainous cost
is concerned.
