VANDERBILT GOT THERE.

New YOrk.-First delaying the New
York Central's crack train from
Chicago for half an hour in order that
his private car might be properly heat
ed, and then running off with the en-
CINE in order that he might not be late
in getting TO Buffalo-these were the
tricks William X. Vanderbilt PLAYED on
the passengers of the Lake Shore lin
tied a few nights ago.
The Lake Shore limited is the COM
pany'S twenty-four-hour train between
New York and Chicago. When the
start was made from Chicago last
Wednesday evening. Mr. VanderbiIt's
private car was attached. He had an
important engagement in Buffalo the
next day. and. contrary to all prece-
dent. directed that his car be attached
10 the limited.
Before many miles of roadbed had
been covered Mr.. Vanderbilt COM
planned that his car was not properly
heated The train was stopped near
Englewood and for half an hour the
engineer devoted his energies to froc-
ing steam back to the private car.
40 AAN-AaiE TIT pdSSGAA1tES ln the m
termediate ears began to swelter and
were irritated Al their inability to
learn the cause of the delay. When the
train was started again efforts were
made 10 recover the lost time. Bat The
schedule rendered this quite impossi-
BILE.
When it became apparent that Mr..
Vanderbilt would be unable TO get to
Buffalo in time to keep his engage
ment. new orders emanated from the
rear ca~.
UncOUple the engine from the train
and take Mr. Nanderbilt's car .specfsT
10 Buffalo.
Most of the passengers were asleeu
when this movement was executed. and
they slept on while another engine was
rushed from LapOrte, Ind, 10 pick up
the deserted train and haul il toward
New York. In the morning the pas
sengers were amazed to learn that the
limited was more than two hours late.
Mr. Vanderbilt however. arrived in
Buffalo in time 10 keep his engage
ment.

 Senator Deliver of Iowa tells a good campaign story on himself. He was making speeches in his congressional district when a member of the house and arrived one afternoon at a little town. When he reached the hotel. he discovered that the proprietor, an ole friend of his, had voluntarily gone to jail rather than pay what he believed to be an unjust and illegal tax. The hotel keeper soon learned that Deliver was in town and thereupon sent this note to the sheriff:
 Dear Mir. Sherff-Please let me out of jail for two hours to hear my friend Dol liver make a speech
 "The sheriff" says MT. Deliver twas not only an obliging soul. but he was no; devoid of humor. He sent an order 10 the hotel keeper releasing him from jail for two hours to hear me speak. and then he added, The remain der of yolr punishment is relnitted. Washington Post.

Washington, July 12.-Honolulu has
ben made the base of gigantic
smuggling operation. Yang y-Ting, the
Chinese consul at that port, is, said to be
the moving genius in a plan to cheat the
United States Of duties on opium and
other Chinese imports. Some time ago
Customs Collector ,~Stackabl reported
to Secretary. Shaw that he had evidence
duplicating v:Yang-y-Ting in Smuggling
operations, and requesting authority to
Investigate the premises occupied by the
Chinese consul The. secretary of the
treasury replied that a search might pre-
cipitate international complications, but
that the collector should gather all
evidence obtainable and report, but later
Mr.. sStackable was. authorized to adopt
vigorous measures. The result was the
disclosure. of clearing house lin the
Chinese consulate. It was discovered also
that Yang-y-Ting was engaged in. a great
conspiracy to smuggle Cinnamon into the
United States.

representations against the punishment
Of her agent, as she is under, too great
