CAPTURED THE INTRUDER.
Weird-Voiced Visitor Enters Wood & Mitchelps Stable.

A small coterie was sitting about at Wood & Mitchell's stable last night, dis cussing the latest gubernatorial an- nouncement and the refreshing shower deep and very weird Npice, that might have belonged to a particularly ancient ghost, shouted in tones both mournful and empudent
 'Who cooks-who cooks-who cooks for you all?'
 At the sound, the coterie grew very still, and for a moment continued SO. Then everybody rubbered cautiously and finally one said:
 'Hey-what yol reckon that was?"
 Go back and see, Jimr said another, speaking to a dusKy stable hand, who was by them cautiously peering inside
 "Humph' said the stable hand with drawing, ''da's a ghos' en I aint got no bizness wid ghos's."
 Who cooks-who cooks-who cooks for you all?' came the sad toned query again at that juncture, from somewhere within the stables depths.
 'Ha-ha' laughed another stable hand at that. "dat's CT ole boot owl"'
 And an ''ole hoot owl 1t was. And the fact being established the political and meteorological symposums was forth with adjourned and preparations for the capture of the bird instituted.
 Well I'll go with you" said one des- perate member of the army, as the ad- fork-Tm not going to be hooked by any old horned-owl!"
 And I want horse," said another.
 MT. Jim Mitchell carried off the honors of the engagement. He discovered Minervas protege sitting upon a rather sedately blinking at an electric light, and by a quick rear action, got behind the intruder, and seized it by its wings.
 The bird Is a peculiarly wise looking one, and measures four feet from tip to tip. Mir. Wilson will keep it as a pet

RAILROAD ITEMS.
L. & N. Earnings Cut Down by
 Expenses.

Expenses.
 The L. and N. has issued a statement of the earnings and expenses of the road for May and for the eleven months of the fiscal year, ended May 31
 The month of May, 1902. shows an in- crease of $61 ,201.55 in net earnings. In the eleven months statement the gross earnings increased $2.29s. .o30s1, but the expenses were g, ,651.21. leaving a de- crease of S1S6,620.40.
 A portion of the present fiscal year was operated under 3.364.99 miles. the present mileage, against 3,190.56 miles last year.
 Authorities on railroad finances, who have watched the weekly and monthly statements of all roads. claim the fiscal year ended July 1st will be the banner year in gross and net earnings. Both will be the largest in the history of railroad ing in the United States. It is estimated that the gross earnings will be about $1, 700, ,0O0, 900. This will be about $126. .0o0.- 900 more than they were from July l, 1900, to July 1. 1901,
 Low water mark was reached in 1894, when the gross earnings were $1.O73.36l.- 800. Every year since that time increases have been shown except in 1897, when there was a decrease of 2.5 per cent, as compared with the earnings of 1896.
 The largest percentage of increase was in 1900 when it was 13.2 per cent. The year after an increase of 6.1 per cent was shown, and now the increase will be about per cent

The Savannah News says:

The Savannah News says:
 Traffic Manager w. H. Pleasants of the Seaboard Air Line will be connected with the Ocean Steamship Company again. For some time there has been a report that MT. Peasants would resume service with the company, and this report was verified yesterday by representative of The Morning News.
 There is every reason to believe that MT. Peasants will be Vice President and General Manager He was traffic man. ager of the Ocean Steamship Company until some months ago. when he was made traffic manager of the Seaboard It Is scarcely likely that he would return to the same position that he left. The changed conditions in the company, too render it likely that he would be ap- pointed Vice-President and General Man. ager.
 Some time ago there was a rumor that Mir Pleasants would become President of the Ocean Steamship Company This was denied by both Mir. Peasants and Major J. F. Hanson. President of the company. It was true that the plans did not contemplate the elevation of MT. Pleasants to the presidency. but it Is now declared that he will be with the company in some capacity. and it seems that this will be as Vice-President and General Manager.

A Louisville dispatch says:

A Louisville dispatch says:
 War is on between the Southern Rail- way and the Louisville and Nashville in Louisville over all shipments out of or into this city from competitive points. The Southern today issued circular of fering to Louisville shippers payment of drayage on a number of articles which are sent out of Louisville in large quan- titles and with which competition with the Louisville and Nashville is liveliest
 The action of the Southern, it Is said, was taken on account of the fact that the Louisville and Nashville had recent ly spent large sum in terminal and switching facilities in Louisville, putting the competing roads at a disadvantage. While the Louisville and Nashville will allow non-competing roads to use the switches on payment of switching charges 1t will not allow business to or from a competitive point to pass over it's local tracks.
 The Southern, by the payment of dray- age to its shippers. seeks to overcome this disadvantage. At the Southern's of flee here 1t Is admitted that the circular had been issued but the claim was made that it was simply in compliance with the interstate commerce law.
 The quarterly inspection of watches will take place on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad during the first two weeks of this month. It is of course i'm portant that all engineers and conductors running on the road should have good time pieces and they are required to have them The road has regularly ap- pointed inspectors at important points over the system, these inspectors being the best jewellers in the various towns and cities. Certificates showing that the watches are good time keepers must he obtained four times each year.

of course, be the first consideration. and
that has been provided for; they Will
have entertainments galore, and the
whole affair win be a great success.
But the outward signs of welcome are
quite as important as the personal at
