TO WATCH THE FASTING GIRL.
A Little Iindoo Who Says She's No

A Little Hindoo Who Says She's Not
 Had Food in Two Years.
 Among members of the medical pro- l fession in Bombay and especially among persons belonging to the Hindoo community, considerable amount of interest has recently been evinced in connection with the reports that have been circulated in regard to the length of time Bai Premabai-noW generally spoken of as the fasting lady-has been able to abstain from partaking of food. Bai Premabai who belongs to the Lohana Castle, is only about IS years of age. She is the sister-in-laW of Rao Saheb Multi Narayen, and she has not partaken either of food or liquid for the past two years.
 Such being the case, Sir Bhalchandra on April 26 last invited a number of medical practitioners of Bombay to meet him at the Hall of Science and Literature at Khetwady, with the ob- feet of devising measures for testing the truth of the assertions made by and on behalf of Bai Premahai and to ascertain if she was really fasting as reported As q result of the discussion that took place at that meeting be- tween the medical men present and Rao Saheb Mulji, her brother-tn-law. 1t was arranged that a committee should be formed to raise subscriptions to defray the expenses connected with having Ba Premabai watched by night and day by body of nurses. In fair snes to Bai Premabai and those acting on her behalf it must be stated that they have shown every readiness, as far as Hindoo customs permit, to af- ford every assistance to the investi- gating body carrying out it's task.
 As matters now stand it is probable that the experiment undertaken by the medical profession will commence on Wednesday morning and will take place in a bungalow in the compound of Sir Mungaldas Nathubhai's house at Girgaum, which will be set apart for the purpose and in which Bai Premabia has consented to reside during the pe- riod set apart for the test of her apti- tude for still continuing without suste- nance. During the period she will be kept in the bungalow the outside of the premises will be closely guarded by the police, while within the little lady will

People were so anX- them that 1t became necessary to re- mind the public through the local press that they were lionizing delinquents, not heroes.
 Many of the prisoners have English names being the descendants of Eng lishmen who married and settled in South Africa. They speak excellent English, too, and there are several who are British born subjects but who were communicated and forced to fight.

RIVER LIFE ON THE CONGO.

In the July culver MT. WalnS Myefs tells of the adventures of Gospel Nav igators on the Congo" He says of one of the missionaries: MT. Grenfell re- counts many thrilling experiences which befell him and his crew when exploring the Upper Congo in the Peace, on behalf of the mission. One evening, for instance, two of his men and the fireman were enjoying swim, when the latter, who remained longer in the water, was just reaching for ward to grasp the gunWale of the small boat, when he shouted, Hold me; a crocodile has got my hand" His com- rades immediately caught hold of him and tried to pull him on board, but the crocodile would not let go, and dragged the poor fireman nearly out of sight, and the others nearly into the water. A great struggle ensued as to who could pull the harder. The advantage was in the balance for some five min utes when with q final unavailing eff fort and a lot of swishing, the crocodile retired, leaving his intended victim a sad wreck and terribly exhausted. The missionaries naturally saw the hand of God in the escape, and the Incident made a powerful impression on the na- tives. A terrible experience befell the Peace year or two later On the way to the equator, the vessel struck on reef of rock, and in three minutes the whole of the forepart of the steamer, as far as the engine room, was full of water up to the level of the river out side, while the watertight compart- ,,op+s y,,ara sbi1oe1n hy a series of holes The first boat took off MT Gren- felPs wife and child and two or three school children; the second took in
 struments, bedding, and wet clothing;
 while a third took the food stores. By

PENSION PLAN NOT POPULAR.
Employees of the Milwaukee and
Michigan Central Vote 1t Down.

Employees Of the Michigan Central rail-
road after prolonged consideration voted
down a proposition to pension themselves.
Several months ago emoioyes of tins
conceived the idea of forming 4 pension
department. The proposition ~. not
come from the officers of the road, nor
did the latter so far as is learned, have
anything to do with the scneme.
When the question came up for consid-
Grafton opposition 10 several sections
of the proposed plan developed. A COM
mittee was appointed TO draft new sec
tons. This committee could not agree
on substitute amendments and on It's rec
ommendation the entire question has
been dropped.
Several months ago employees of the
Milwaukee & st. Paul company received
Ii proposition from the managers OF the
road for the formation or pension de-
partment. Under the Milwaukee & st.
Pauls plan the employees were to con-
tribute so much per month-in fact, they
We're asked to maintain the fund entirely,
except that if there should be found
deficit in the fund at the end of any year
the deficiency was to be made good from
the treasury Of the company.
The Milwaukee e ST. Paul's plan was
put to vote of the employees and de-
feated The feeling among the men OF
that system was that they did not care
TO provide a pension for themselves out
OF their own pockets.
1t would appear from the action of en-
ployes of these two roads that the men
do not favor any plan for pensionlng
aged or disabled employees if that plan
involves entire or even partial support
of the employees. The pension plans of
the Illinois Central, North Western and
Pennsylvania are entirely a corporation
affair. the fund being maintained and the
pensions paid out Of money set aside for
the purpose.
Employees of the three roads named
profess themselves satisfied with the
charge that the pension plan was only a
scheme to get rid of men after they
had reached certain ages has not been
proved
The age at which men viii be retired
was figured by the managers as about
the time these employees would have
served their usefulness in any capacity,
and instead OF dlsch 17,r them they they
pension would tend to promote improv-

Trip of Inspection.

Are Outlined in Brief. Attec Lung
Trip of Inspection.
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-George j. Could.
with Mrs Gould, has just returned from
a tour of the railroads embraced IN the
Goald system-a tour divided into two
sections and lasting about two months,
broken only by a flying visit to New
York, and covering practically the WIZ .e
country from Utah to Texas. After
critical and analytical survey, not alone
of his railroads. but of financial and
commercial conditions throughout the
country, Mr.. Gould returns in an even
more optimistic frame of mind than when
he finished his big tour last spring.
Mr. Gould was asked if he were willing
to state at this time whether he intena-
ed to carry out the rumored plan OF
tranScontinental railroad with the Mis-
souri, Pacific. Denver & Rio Grande, Rio
Grande & Western and Central Pacific as
the main links in the chain:
II have heard nothing about that,
aharmoniously with our allied railroad
connections, Central Pacific being one CT

Then Mr. Gould gave this inkling of his
roads in the South: I'VE are contem-
plating a line from Arkansas City south
to Lake Providence in Louisiana. In
fact it is under construc on ,ioH 1 he
Texas & Pacific line is to be rebuilt
and extended so that it will form a
through line along the west bank of the
Mississippi river, between New Orleans
and St. Louis. The Improvement will
also include the rebuilding of the New
Orleans & Northwestern railroad. The
new line runs through a beautiful cotton
country and at present there is no line TO
serve it. The country is entirely tribu-
Stary to the Iron Mountain system, hence
the construction of the branches.

Wichita portion of the one ticket and
the Chicago portion are then put together

reading from Wichita to Chicago is COM

the edges is so perfectly done that it is
believed special apparatus is used for
doing it.
The ticket, if purchased here direct
from the local office to Chicago, would
cost S1S65, while by changing two of the
tickets one has the same ticket at cost
of about 60 cents There is not much
work and but little danger attached to

RATE CUTTING IN SOUTHWEST.
Agreement of Trans-Missouri Lines
Doesn't Hold.

DENVER, Col, Dec 12.-Despite the
announcement of an ironclad agreemsa :
between the trans Missouri lines made
several weeks ago, that freight rates
were to be maintained at all hazards, the
closing days of the present year bid far
to witness the most vigorous rate War
that the West has experienced for a
number of years.
In the past few days agents of the yari-
Gus trans Missouri carriers have been
quietly cutting rates on carload lots and
yesterday all subterfuge was thrown 10
the winds and an open slashing inaugI-
rate by all lines. This war is limited to
freight in carload lots and it is openly
conceded that the end of the week Will
find agents bidding for freight on p
cent rate from Chicago. The regular
rate on ffth-class freight, which includes
practically everything shipped in carload
lots, is 81 cents. Rates of 40 cents per
1C0 in carload lots were made in Denver
yesterday, and it is expected the SLASH
ing will continue until the end of the
year. After the first of the year it Is
expected the customary restoration Of
rates will ensue.

CLEVER RAILROAD swINDLE.
Santa Fe Is Worked on Tickets From
Wichita to Chicago.

WICHITA. Kan, Dec Pit has been
discovered recently by the officials OF the
Santa Fe and Rock Island railroads, 50
1t is learned from those at Wichita who
use the simplex form of ticket. that
someone was raising these checks of
transportation, but only several days
ago it was found how this was accom-
plished. The simplex form of a ticket
is supposed to be of a kind that it
would be impossible to alter or change
in any manner without the conductor
discovering it, when the ticket is pre-
sented for passage. 1t has. however,
been demonstrated that it can and las
been done, and this is the system:
A ticket, for example. is purchased at
the local Office here to Valley Center 1t
costs about 80 cents. A ticket is then
sent for and purchased at McCrook,
suburb of Chicago, to Chicago. This
costs about the same price.
The ticket reading from Wichita to Val
ley Center is then completely severed
near the center, cutting off the pt ion
referring to Valley Center The Nc
Cook to Chicago ticket is also scissored,
