THE ROCK ISLAND AND GULF.

Rock Island, was subsequently communi-
Gated with by wire and that something was
said 70 him In said communication about ex.
tending the Rock Island from Fort Worth
TO Dallas and using the central tracks
from there to Houston, instead Of building
an independent line to the gulf However
this may be, Mr.. Low left for Chicago over
the Katy last night In answer to Il tele-
graphic summons from that city. He was
accompanied as far as Fort Worth by
MessIs HOvey, Lassiter and Peters.

these can not be secured. the main line Will
run directly outward from Fort Worth,
with a branch to Dallas.
The Rock Island management has had the
construction of gulf outlet In view ior
four or i've yenrs but has never been agreed
as 10 the point at which that outlet should
terminate. Galveston has been the fgyorite
with portion OF those In controle, while
there has, on the other hand, been much
pressure brought to bear In favor OF SABINE

that there Is yet a division Of opinion on
this point among those upon whose decision

with still a third objective point In view.

A Pitch Lake.

Trinidad, an island in the south At
lantic opposite the mouth of the ORR
noco, is famous for its pitch. There
are districts where there is pitch ev'
erywhere. The beach is pitch, and so
are the rocks some of which have
been carried off to supply Paris and
New York with tar pavements. At La
Brea pineapples grow to perfection III
a brown soil Which is half pitch. But
the wonder of the isle is the pitch lake
q mile and a half in circumference
As it lies glittering in the sun It looks
like a vast bed Of monstrous mush'
rooms, all black and Of all kinds OF

Newspaper men, from great EDITORS

proud of their profession, although not
all sit as secure as John Black. for
many years the chief of the London

Black supported the Melbourne adj

asked a favor of any of the ministers.
On one occasion Lord Melbourne said
to him:
you are the only man in England
who forgets that am prime minister.
How so, my lord?" inquired Black

Express Companies Barred From
Sending II That Way In Iowa.
Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 1.-The Iowa
supreme court has reversed two trial
courts in Iowa on the question OF the
G. o. d. liquor sales by express COM
panles. In both instances the express
companies had liquors which they were
transferring to purchasers in exchange
for G. o. .. payments. Seizures We're
made and the cases tried in the district
court, where the express companies
won. Both cases We're appealed and
both are now reversed
The holding of the court prevents
express companies from hauling liquor
c. O. D., and makes such goods contra
brand and liable to seizure if found in
the possession of the companies. The
court holds that the privileges Of orig
| inal packages or Of the freedom Of in
| terstate commerce does not apply to d
business of this character.

"Geisha," the professional girl en-
tertainer of Japan, is by no means to
be COMPOUNDED with "geinin," says
Japan and America. The word geisha
really means actor, "gei' meaning a
play or entertainment of any sort, and
"sha" means a person. For instance,
i-sha means physician, and SO on. The
word really means what factor" does
In English, but it has come to mean
only those girls in Japan who are
trained to entertain by dancing and
singing to the shamisen and koto, the
usual musical instruments for light en-
tertainments, and they also are trained
to converse agreeably on topics of the
day. "Geinin," on the other hand
while it really means the same thing
as geisha. has now come to be applied
to artists, in higher sense.
