SAYS It IS ALL nonsense.
Executive Railroad Officers Meet
to Obey the Law.
NO GIGANTIC R. R. COMBINE.

Denver, Col. Jan. President e.
II Jefery, of the Denver & Rio Grande
road, who is chairman of the executive
officers association meeting four times
each year in New York, says there is
not particle of truth in the reported
gigantic railway combine which is to
control all the great lines. In an in
terTiew he said:
Nobody in his sane mind ever
thought of attempting to combine all
the railways into a great organization
to control the commerce of the country.
The meetings in New York have no
such purpose and if railway managers
will simply obey the interstate COM
merce law, the main object of the
meetings in New York will be accom-
plished. If the lines will quit rate
cutting and simply obey the plain let
ter of the law, that is all 1 would ask
and it is quite enough for one organi-
cation to accomplish. 1 have always
been stickler for obedience to the
law. Let the railway managers carry
out the plain provisions of the inter
ctate commerce act; let them treat all
shippers alike and make changes in
rates only after giving public notice as
required by law. If this is done there
will be no need of ombinations to try
to control the traffic"
What would become of the weak
lines if the lar were obeyed? he was
asked.
They would go out of existence,
was the reply. THAT is the natural
law and see no reason why the weak
railways should be forever upheld by
those that are able to take care of
themselves. Let the weak lines bs alb
sorbed by their more vigorous COM
petitors or let them go out of existence
altogether. In either event the public
is the gamer and the business interest
is better Off -"

{ health, she outlved her husband. Be- l fore Thackeray was thirty his home | was broken up and his children went to l live with his mother in Paris. He was 1 then compelled to exert himself to the 1 utmost as bread winner. The first number of Vanity Fair appeared In Jan l uary, 1S47. It was a serial story and l began as a burlesque, then became a satire and then novel.
 The speaker said that a sense of truth was the first great requisite of 6 sue cessful writer and then comes a sense | of humor. Thackeray possessed both of | these necessary qualities. He possessed 1 the power of analysis and was very yer satle, nothing showing more promis- ing talent than some of his earlier sto- ries. At thirty-six Thackeray was yer satle, brilliant, with thorough stock of 1 knowledge, but without an audience.
 One must have personality to gain
 widespread fame, and this quality Thackeray lacked. He however, real izing this failing, concluded to appear more in public and carrying out his re- solve, gained much.
 "Pendennis' was truly novel, but not so great book as Vanity Fair, It depicted character in true style. The speaker said that Thackeray considered Henry Esmond' his greatest achieve ment as a novelist. It was less power ful, less great in the literal sense of the word than some others, but in the au- thor's own language it was the only "book" which he had written. It Is not the skill with which the characters are painted, nor is the plot better woven there is no discord in the music, but the splendor and brevity of action, the strength and expression of the love of women and friendship of men are the impressive qualities of the book. His intimate knowledge of the affairs of the eighteenth century came to his assist ance.
 Thackeray never tried so hard again on any of his future writings The Newcombs were written shortly after his return from the United States in 1853, but did not sustain the power not able of Henry Esmond. His skill in de- lineating character was never more trf- umphantly shown than in this book.
 Thackeray died at fifty-two, having grown prematurely old at forty-seven. The last glimpse we have of him Is in the Roundabout papers which were thirty-four essays They compared eX- actly to his later years. There is touch of melancholy. but he is always gentle, always lovable, frank though ambitious, and there were striking con- tradictions in his character which were. a key to great deal Thackeray's de- ficiency was his carelessness about plots and persistency in preaching when he should have told the story. Thackeray is after all, the greatest modern master in English prose. We thank the poet for his beautiful dream, but we thank the novelist none the less for his real ity.

pr1sss TELEPHONE MESSAGE.


 There was a banquet in Chicago not long ago to which one of the guests, a lawyer, had taken his office cat, a feline being the emblem of the organiza- ton that gave the dinner. The banquet was given in the Great Northern Hotel where the cat the lawyer had taken to the dinner became lost. The next day the lawyer called up the hotel on the telephone and asked if they had his cat yet He was told that the bell-boys had hunted all around among the cats kept as rat-cat chers in the hotel, and that they had finally selected four cats, one of which they felt sure belonged to the lawyer.
 Well" said the lawyer, T haven't time to come over and pick my cat out. Just hold those animals one by one up to the telephone receiver, and pinch their tails and make them yowl."
 One of the bell-boys dutifully held up the cats to the telephone, and made each one of the felines give a good re- sounding wall. The lawyer dismissed each cat until the third cat was put up to the receiver. It gave one yowl when the lawyer enthusiastically ex- claimed: Nft

Not so very long ago MT. and Mrs. Phil May were entertaining large par ty of friends distinguished in the worlds of literature, art and fashion, and dur ing the evening there called a visitor who made a very difficult entry. The great caricaturist was standing near the head of the stairs talking to Lord Mountmorres and Lady Edith Franklin, when his man intimated that "Mr. Brown had called.
 Show him in,' said MT. May.
 He won't come, sir; he's not in eve- ming dress, and he's standing in the lobby" replied the servant.
 MT. May, who often cannot fix the identity of people he knows pretty well, showed no gleam of recognition on the mention of MT. Browns" name, but in his usual kind way he went to the top of the staircase and ushered in the re- luctant visitor, who vainly endeavored to excuse himself. Addressing two or three distinguished friends who were standing near, MT. May determined to place the new arrival at his ease, and in the heartiest way, said:
 Let me introduce my old friend, MT. Brown"

LECTURE ON "THACKERAY. ,
PROF. BLISS PERRY BEFORE 4
 LARGE AUDIENCE.
Yale Public Course-The Famous Mas Admirable A Address-A Brief Resume.

College street hall was well filled last night with those who have availed themselves of the splendid opportunity offered in the Yale Public Lecture course, which is given in cooperation with the University Extension course, of hearing series of admirable lec- lures on wide range of topics in liter ature, art, music and social and eco- homie subjects.
 The lecture of the evening was given by Professor Bliss Perry editor of the Atlantic Monthly, and his subject was 'Thackeray." After relating some thing of this noted mans earlier life the speaker read extracts of number of letters written by Thackeray to his mother in which he said that he was not reading as much as he desired, but that he intended beginning right away to read, in the sense of studying, from in the morning until in the after noon. He kept this resolve. His desire for reading was almost unsuitable. He left Cambridge without trying for de- gree and with no honors. This was at the age of nineteen, when he was pos sessed of money, health and dream of the future. He did not, however, real ize how long he would have to wait to win place in the world, and it was seventeen years before he gained last ing fame and his ability was recogniz- ed. Shortly after leaving college he went to the continent, but in his twen- tieth year returned to London and be- gan the study of law. This was not to his liking and he wrote that he desired more fresh air. He was about as much of a success as a lawyer as were Lowell and Longfellow. At this time he lost most of his money in starting two newspapers, not being content with starting one. The failure of a bank in India relieved him of the worry of talk ing care of the rest, and he then re-em- parked in newspaper work. He had all ready shown some ability in drawing and sketching. but his talents in this regard were not given much opportu- nifty to develop. His work was princi- pally criticisms, reviews and such like, while once in a while he was called up- ol to lurAisil peiicll ShelcH LOT HIS articles.
 Thackeray was married in the same summer of his start in this new work, and he wrote to friend that love was the crown and completion of all earthly good. Although his married life was a wreck before 1840, yet he said he would do it over again. His wife had become seriously ill and her mind had failed; and although she never regained her
