THEY r


THEY ARE AFRAID.
For some time tn eMexican Central
railroad has beer trying to secure a
Harvey eating house system for that
line. The only difficulty that seemed
20 stand in the way was b duty Oh
the provisions for these houses anG the
railroad company went to work ana
had thes obstacles removed. by getting
the government to agree to exempt the
Harvey grub from duties. The COM
pany then ~joyously impaired the news
10 the Harvey people that they could
bring their stuff along and it wouldn't
eost them a cent of duty. but after con-
sidering the matter the Harvey people
decided not to attempt it, fearing that
after they had built up a good business
the Mexican government might change
its mind and m levying duty
on their provisions. So as it now stands
there is not much prospect for the
Harvey eating house system being es-
tablished along the line of the Central
MeXicano.
II the Mexican Central could get this
system installed on its line it would be
one of the greatest things that ever
aupene for Mexico. 1t seems that
the lack o something good to eat is the
greatest fault with travelling in Mex
leo. And not only does the public
kick. but it is a hard matter for the
railroad company to retain competent
employees, for hat class of workmen
are used to having good grub n they
will not stay long where they cannot
get it.

this morning had in it five tourist cars.

HIS FEARS REALIZED.
O----o III O-- ~-x,.x
aged about 30. died Wednesday night
on the G. H. passenger train which ar
rived here yesterday.
The deceased was an Englishman.
and had only e in this country six
years. He mas been living in Orange,
Texas for some time and about two
months ago was taken too sick to
work with dropsy and became an OBJ
ject of charity. The citizens raised
him enough money to buy him a tick
ct to Los Angeles whre it is said he had
two sisters and the god ladies of Or
ange made up a purse of $35 for him
10 take with him to bear expenses.
He talked with several of the pasen-
gers on the train, telling them of his
serious condition and expressing a fear
that he would not live to see his sis
tiers. He would occasionally ask his
newly-found friends on the train if
they thought he would get to Los An
geIes before he died and they cheer
er him up by telling him they thought
ne would.
The body was taaken off here and
removed to Emerson & Berrien's under
taking parlors where it is being held
for orders from the sisters to whom the
undertakers telegraphed.
