A DIFFERENCE IN wATcHMEN
As the One in Question Was Irish Sandy Got Along Swimmin1ly,

Something of A wag-a variety among the Scotch--was old Sandy. who used to collect the mining royalties on the estat, of the Duke of Hamilton. One day San dy was late for his train for Bo-ness and the only way he could catch his connec ton was by walking across the line. certain gentleman informed Sandy that il was useless for him to attempt to crosl by the railway. as there was watchmar stationed at the camp bridge who would allow no one to pass over 1t.
 What sort O countryman Is hep in qrired Sandy.
 An Irishman." was the immediate re joinder.
 Well" responded Sandy. If he is ar Irishman I'll set over," and straight way he went.
 Coming to the bridge, Sandy espied the Irishman coming out to stop him, but be. fore Pat had got time to breathe Sandy gasped out: "I beg your pardon. sir. see you're a man of authority, and have just to throw myself on your tender mer. cies!"
 '. "Jabers. go on." returned Pat, without a moments hesitation.
 Had the watchman. Sandy used to say, been a Scotchman he would have had tc fight him, and had he been an Englishmar he would have had to debate the ques ton.

No Increased Salaries.

The Savannah Press says:
 President John M. Egan of the Central Railway was asked today for a statement as to the pay received by the employees of his line. MT. Egan said they were as we'll paid as the line could afford. and when the traffic was taken into considera- ton he was of the opinion that the Gen. tral of Georgia paid decidedly better wages than the New York Central Mir Egan says the reports show that the New York Central has received as many as 5000 cars of. freight from local points in a day. besides its thousands and thou sands of cars of through freight. He says If the Central of Georgia had this business to handle 1t could and would be glad to increase the pay of every em- ploye.
 General Superintendent W, B. Den- ham of the second division of the Atlantic Coast Llne says that the employees of his division are paid better than are the men of the New York Central when the relative cost of living in the two sec tions is considered. 1t costing very much more to live in the north, especially dur ing the winter months. Cap.ain Denhan stated that 1t has long heen the policy of the AtIantic Coast Line to increase the pay of its employees as fast as they merit it and the business warrants it.

PRACTICAL LESSON IN CHARITY One Given by A wandering

While the Christian Endeavorers were in Boston recently holding their annual convention. many incidents occurred prov ocative of mirth. Among the stories told them was one concerning a peripatetic oi the bare-footed variety and . farmer who was also a church deacon. The dea, con was taking lunch under his own vint and fig tree and unto him the peripateti, said: sir, I'm very hungry"

 You're very dirty. into the bargain" Yes, but I'm very hungry"

 The deacon started in with "Our Fla. ther." at the same time cutting off 6 slice as he enunciated the words. The tramp repeated "Our Father" then sud. denly remarked:
 ''Did you say Our FatherT"
 'Yes, Our Father"
 Stop just a moment" continued tn, dirty man. You mean your father and my father?''

 The militia is owned by the plutocrats.H < Jackson Is reported to have said, land We mean to enforce the spirit of the res, olutions calling upon the locals to expa all members who are in the lomal cili- tia"
 As a matter of fact, most of the Schnec. tady militiamen are union men, and they are in a serious quandary. They figurt that they will show the white feather fl they leave the Guard. yet If they do not leave it they will be expelled from the unions. and consequently be unable to earn a living. They fear for their fami lies in case they seek to do their duty al citizens and continue in the Guard. the, say Section 1 of the Military Code o the State of New York provides that al able bodied males between the ages oi IS and 45 are amenable to military duty and the Schnectady militiamen are won derng if tine unions will carry on the fight Ven if some of its members are no actually in the Guard. but only help tt form a part of the reserve, as do al other citizens of the State the ages O, which lie between the years given.

MT, Erwin in Savannah.

Shedding of the visit of Mir. Erwin to Savannah. The Press of that city says
 MT. R. c. Erwin. elected on Monday President of the Atlantic Coast Line, ana other of,cials of the line, will be here tomorrow, coming from Charleston. where they have spent the day on business.
 '"The elevation of MT. T. M. Emerson to q vice-presidency of the company prop ably means he will remain in charge of traffic and that his brother will become Trafic Manager. It may be that MT. " J. Craig will be made Passenger Tramc Manager. It is also regarded as certain that Mir. Erwin will resign the presi- dency of the Plant Investment Company. and that MT. F. Q. Brown will be named in his stead. MT. Brown is at present vice-President of the company.
 "The elevation of Mir. J. R. Kenly to a vice-Presidency and the retention Of his present title of General Manager Is said to mean that Capt. W. B. Denham Is to move up a notch and that he will be made Superintendent of the entire line. This Is mere conjecture. so far as can be learned here, though it is known that the Atlantic Coast Line management has been greatly pleased with the manner in which he has handled the property here since the merging of the two corpora tions. Captain Denham was out of the city today attending a freight meeting in Atlanta, and no one In his office knew anything about the rumor. which has been persistent for the past several days Outside railroad men say they do moi know but that his continued advancement Is looked for, as he is regarded as one of the best and most efficient railroad men in the South.
