Washington Day by Day

Washington. June 1e.-(Special) )-Out of tho mouths of babes and stockings shall come truth, while from the columns of certain public prints roll falsehood on falsehood making for ultimate chaos in that particular element of public morals called things journalistic"
 Tn Washington as in passing through the capital on the homeward journey, there are some four hundred boys, amongst them every state in the Union being represented.
 They are handsome, manly youngsters, most of them perfect physical types for their respective ages. They are cadets from West Point It is dollars to brick bats that not one of them would tell a lie. There Isn't boy in a thousand who would lie: lying Is something which men teach boys, and 1t Is hard task for menl
 Some of these young West Pointers now here in Washington-most likely everyone of them. but certainly some whom one chances to know-are telling facts that prove that most of the report CTS who were on duty at West Point on commencement day to have been either wilfulIy wrong in their "stories' or to have written the half-truth which Is falsehood.
 When, on the ground at West Point, wtere American officers for hundred years had been drilled, the hundreds of our young cadets were gathered the other day under the eyes of their numer- ous commanders-in-chief. it was part of their duty to listen to some of the most commonplace speechmaklng that any young West Pointers ever had to hear.
 The highcockalorum of all was there; he who with skip and a jump end lessly repeated, commands all the West Pointers, all the navy, and likewise poor Rebecca Taylor. This supreme command CT In a silk hat "speechihed' to those tired boys, and the only feature of that speech one could recall after three hours was the speakers bold declaration that he himself was Ian historian" ain as- sertion which none of us who have read history can consent to accept. This speech was received by the young West Point CTS in silence. or in what was a most admirable substitute for silence.
 Then there vas speech from the sec ond commander -in-chief, the head of the much of the poor Cubans' taxes to pay

''The old habit of nose snuffing is a thing of the past. but the habit of snuff dtprinG is ircreasing,' said a tobacco man yesterday.
 '"rhc demand for this mouth snuff has increased wonderfully within the past two years. The habbit used to be indulged in only by women but the negro men have taken to 1t and are substituting snuff for plug tobacco.

exposition in Omaha the baggage rooms
were overcrowded, and much overflow was
handled outside, but 1t was all kept under
cover Of the carsheds.
Thousands of Pieces Handled.
The number of pieces Of luggage shipped
in and out of Omaha in a day, a month and
a year forms an astonishingly large total.
Just now 1t is the dull season, but at
Union station they are handling over 300
pieces every day, at Burlington station
about 400 and at Webster street station
200. In 1901 there were 357, 900 pieces
handled at Union station, 141, S62 at Bur-
lington station and about $4,000 pieces at
Webster street station. The figures all
show a substantial increase over those
for 1900.
The fall months from August to Novem-
Der are the heaviest in Omaha.
And twenty-five men do all this work the
year around. There are twelve at Union
station, nine at Burlington station and four
at Webster street. These employees work
split tricks, because the business comes In
fits and starts during the day. There are
certain periods OF two hours or SO when
the trains bunch in, and then the men are
needed in numbers.
Excess baggage is a big feature OF the
business today. A large percentage OF the
trunks and cases are over weight. In
deed, at Union station 5000 a day excess
money is a fair average and at Burlington
station it runs over $4,000 a year. Each
passenger may carry $50 pounds and no
more than $50 pounds can go in any one
trunk on any conditions.
This adds a big financial feature to the
baggage end Of the ra~ilroading, ana an

for women or men. Each sex must have
its own pills, whether they be for the
headache. the collie or what not.
Deer Horns and Tiger Bones.
A curious department Of the store was a
menagerie. This was a little geological
garden, containing animals which were to
be ground up into medicine. There were
about twenty deer, ranging from fawns
just born to old stays with great antlers.
Deer horns are supposed to have great
medical properties, and these deer are
kept for their horns, which are cut OF and
ground UP for medicine. Great quantities
of deer horns are imported. This is also
true of tiger bones, and especially Of tiger
whiskers. Pills made Of these things are
worth their weight in gold.

other innovation now is the separation Of
this from the ticket accounts at all large
stations. The Omaha depots have cashiers
in their baggage rooms to handle the ex-
cess rate, while formerly the ticket agents
did this, and still do in man. small sta
lions.

Changes in the handling Of baggage have
been no more radical than those in the
luggage itself. Each year brings out a
novelty in the trunk line. and some Of the
schemes resorted to by those who wish to
keep their clothing in perfect condition are
very novel. The wardrobe trunk Is espec-
tally interesting. This has a round top and
round sides, so that 1t will sit only on one
end. The reason is that several suits are
hung on hangers at the other end, and they
would be disarranged were the trunk stood
upside down. AS 1t is built. however, it
cannot be made to stand save on the desired
end. Similar results are attaine with
trunks not originally built so by aving
circular rockers screwed to them the
sides which it is desired to keep off theN or.
1t is calculated hat the modern bagg
car will hold $50 pieces of luggage. TN

cubic dimensions, and not by weight, for
