HEAVY HONORS; LIGHT DUTIES

The office of Grand Sword Bearer re-
minds us of a story We heard a man once
tell to the effect that during the civil war
he was for q time a member of the
Fourth Virginia Cavalry" regiment
that had neither horses nor guns. In all
our Masonic experience We have never seen
the Grand Sword Bearer bear a sword or
perform any official function. Following
the theme suggested above. the grand
standard bearer is another grand officer
endowed with heavy honors and light
duties.-Pacifc Mason.

States Steel Corporation. passed through
Omaha Sunday night on a special from
California, where he has been spending
the winter While in Omaha he met 2. J
BengeIe, an Omaha man, with whom the
Schwabs we're very intimate when boys.
After the train left Mr. BengeIe said:
When We were boys, John Sehwab kept
q livery stable, Charles drove a hack and
this boy played around the stable. He
and I were competitors for the privilege
Of watering Andrew Carnegie's horses,
for the lucky boy always received quar-
ter as tip Later Charles went to
Braddock as a clerk, and finally became
assistant TO Mr. Prick When that gen

TO step il. and later became the head of

Seine people think that J. z. Schwab
IS going up by clinging to his brothers
coattails, but that is not true. He has
climbed by the same course his brother
did, and / think is as good an Illustration

can do

TRAINS STALL FOUR HOURS.
Bridge Cable Breaks and Car Leaves the
Track

NEW YORK. April Is There was a
blockade on the Brooklyn Bridge Railroad
last night, beginning in the middle of the
rush hours and lasting for nearly four
hours. It was caused by the rear car Of
a train leaving the track just as il started
up the grade at the entrance to the Brook
Ign terminal. Four other trains were
stalled on the south roadway of the bridge
until the tracks were cleared These
trains were filled with passengers. most OF
whom stayed on the cars until they
reached Brooklyn Many OF the men pas
sengers took chances and picked their
way over the ties and Orders TO their
homo borough
It was just about $50 O'Clock when the
accident occurred A ripper" wheel, one
of those on which the cable runs, under
the last car of the train involved. caught
a loose strand of the cable. The cable
was broken, and the car was sent joiting
from the rails. The passengers were all
violently shaken up. but, according to re-
ports. none were injured enough to Ie-
Guire medical attendance
The train dispatcher at the Brooklyn
terminal at once sent word to Manhattan
x stop sending out trains. This was done,
but four trains were already on their way
to Brooklyn The moment the gripmen
felt the slack of the cable they stopped
their trains. 1t was a long wait until
relief came By 10 O'Clock a wrecking
crew had got the car on the track and
fastened down the loose end of the cable
Motor cars were then sent out and
brought the sailed trains, which had been
using the cable and had no motors, TO the
Brooklyn terminal
While the blockade was on shuttle
trains were used on the north roadway.
but were, of course. entirely inadequate
to relieve the congested condition at the
