ANTI-PAss sPAsM.
Exchange Mileage Proposition Dis
cussed by officials.

The pass agitation, which comes as
or the frOsts in fall, has resulted in a
proposition on the part of some of
the railroad presidents to issue ex-
change mileage instead of passes. This
plan would bring the courtesies nearer
to an equitable basis. The road wish
ing to use more transportation that it
afforded in return would have to pay
fares.
It is said that one western road has
found after careful figuring that for
two years it has issued transportation
to other roads 500, 600 il excess of what
it has received in return.
The majority of the local railroad men
believe the present agitation is much
more serious than il has ever been be
fore. General agents as far west as
Denver have been notified that certain
eastern roads wifi issue them no more
passes, and there is some fear that the
microbe may spread until it causes an
epidemic all over the country.
1T has frequently been said that
passes will never be abolished" said a
passenger man yesterday, but the
same thing used to be said about pay
ing commissions to agents. The COM
missions were abolished, though, and
no road has broken over the rule. The
same thing is likely to be true about
passes
There is one phase about it that
doesn't seem to be taken into consider
alton TO any great extent by the east
ern trunk lines, and that is that cut
ting off passes amounts to a reduction
in salary There are many thousands
of railroad men in the United States
who would not continue working for a
railroad for the salaries they receive
If it were not for the transportation
privileges they receive for themselves
and their families. 1 know personally
of many men who would have quit the
railroad business at one time or an
other if it had not been for the chance
afforded them annually to get trans

His Terrace

Mr.. 4. W. Breslyn OF 1861 81 street south

sioncrs TO inform him whether there is any
Law here prohibiting the running at large
OF fowls within the city limits. About three
Years ago. he states, he improved the ter
race in front of his residence at o cost
Of some SIC, but has found it impossible
To Keep 1t in any but a very unsightly con-
dition, owing, he explains, to the fact that
hundreds of fowls owned by persons in the
Leishborhood are allowed to run at large
and scratch the dirt from the terrace down
Upon the pavement, making a horrible con-
dition of affairs.
The Commissioners. it is understood, will
iEform Mr. Breslyn that section 4 of ar
ticle of the police regulations makes il
unlawful Tor any person to keep anywhere
within the District ANY fowl which.
by Growing, cackling or in any
other manner, shall disturb the COM

Son keeping any fowl. as provided in sec
tion of this article, or permitting any
fcwl to run at large, shall, on conviction,
be punished by a fine of not less than 81
nor more than 50 for each and every Of
Tense; and in case of a second offense
against the provisions of said section j
the fowl complained of shall. in addition
be adtudged to be killed and on such
Judgment shall be killed by any member of

EGYPTIAN MEN AND WOMEN.
What We Learn of Them From An
cient Drawings

From the Nineteenth Century
In face the men and women were very
much alike but there is a subtle charm
about the female faces that is replaced by
a placid dignity in the male. In both th.
features are delicate and Of a somewhat
aquiiine type. and the figures are tan and
slight. There is very little indication Of
muscle, but the mon are broad shoulderea
and thin fianked while the women, IN spit..
of their stiff attitudes, are graceful and
refined. In both the forms are soft and
rounded. The resemblance between the
men and the women is Of course, increased
py the men being always clean-shaven.
In the paintings and has reliefs there are
certain conventions which do not apply To
the statues, and for these due allowance
has to be made.
IN early times, all drawing and pafntiug
on the nat Cand bas relief is but a form OF
thls) mao TO serve two purposes. One was
TO convey information the other 70 he
ornamental. Ii is doubtful which is III
earlier OF the two. The man of the Stone
Age, when he scratched his realistic mann
moth on piece of reindeer bone, either
wanted to convey TO his brother man that
he had seen a fine specimen of this inter
estlng animal. or else he did IL because h..
thousht 1t pretty, or he may have had
the common origin of art and writing
The Information picture dwindles down
through hferoglyphics to mere symbols OF
sounds, the pictorial origin of which is en-
tireIy lost. The decorative picture grad
ualIy loses all wish to convey Information.

about the body; if that were sideways. too
one shoulder would be lost: so the body

Is more characteristic than a full face

done the man justice. This eve seen fulI

CHAMPION SMALL WRITER.
HIS Greatest Feat Was Putting $4,000
Words on "a Postal Card,
From the New York Sun,


Ria kittredge of Belfast Me chamn,on
small writer of the world, has retired from
the field, leaving his record of $4,000 words
written with common steel peu on an
ordinary postal card for ambitious micro
scopic penmen to equal or beat Up to two
years ago he wrote a great deal. but now,
being within few months of ninety. he
has given up the laborious practice of writ
ing volumes upon small cards his hand be-
ing less steady and his eye less bright than
in his best days
Mr.. kittredge has long been famous for
his penmanship. He is a Vermonter by
birth. His practice of miniature chiros-
raphy began early in life and many a time
he has gone without his dinner rather
| than leave unfinished a piece of work
His first serious competitive effort was
made in 1887, when some one sent to the
Belfast Journal postal card upon which
600 words had been crowded and defied
any one to beat it, A few days afterward
which he had written 1000 words and this
being beaten he produced one with 1909
words.
The 3.Ooo-word postal card ended the
competition. but Mr.. kittredge kent on
crowding his letters and words into stilI
smaller space, turning out in succession
cards bearing 6oO0. 10000 and 20OoO words
His finest work was done in 1889, when he
card, and the entire text of the New Tes-
lament, about $4,000 words. upon four
postal cards.
He has written several presidential in
augural addresses upon postal cards and
has always considered il easy TO write the
Lords Prayer eight times within the space
covered by five-cent nickel. He wrote
one Of Gladstone's speeches upon a postal
card and sent 1t to the statesman, who
wrote letter In reply, thanking Mr. Kitt-
redge and praising his skill.
MI klttredge never used any magnify
ing glasses or other aids. He has always
worn pair of ordinary spectaclee snch
as most elderly men use. and all his writ
ing has been done with an ordinary steel
pen and complon black ink. He has COM
peted with -.lfany would-be champions who
have used magnifying glasses and sharp
pointed hard lead pencils, and he has
easily beaten them all. In spite of their ad-
vantage in the matter OF equipment.
His writing is distinguished by it's beauty
and the artistic arrangement and uni
formity of the letters. Each letter is
separate and distinct and some framed
specimens were shown at the Paris expo-
sttion He says that his eyes naturally
magnify.
