DEATH OF MIR. p. NJ. ARTHUR.

In the death of p. M. Arthur. the
chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, not only do locomotive en-
gineers lose good friend, an able
chief and wise adviser and admins
traitor, but workingmen generally suffer
distinct loss. Although he did not
NEEDLE in the affairs of other labor
bodies any more than he could possi-
BILE help, his example of keeping his
organization out of difficulties was not
without it's influence.
Mr.. Arthur never permitted a strike
of men of his organization as long as
there was a chance for peaceabIe
settlement. And. as a rule, his de-
mands were generally acceded to by
the railroads for the reason that he
refused to support the men of his or
ganization in their demands unless he
was thoroughly satisfied they were in
the right.
Mr.. Arthur was not a man of many
words He made up his mind in regard
to matter submitted to him without
indulging in lengthy discussions. He
was careful 10 get all the facts, how
ever, and, having done that, he was
not long in coming to a conclusion.
The organization of which he was the
head had unbounded confidence in him.
The evidence of that is found in the
long time he held the position he filled
when death overlook him. The Broth
erhood were wise enough to see that
they could not easily find another who
could serve them so satisfactorily. 1t
may be there were times when there
was dissatisfaction with his admins
tration-times when it was through
he was not sufficiently radical. But re-
suit generally disclosed the fact that
the course he pursued was best for the
| organization whose welfare he directed.
Mr. Arthur did not seek notoriety.
His biography, as far as we have been
able to observe, does not appear in the
standard biographical publications nor
i'm the volumes of sketches of success
full men. And yet he was. in his way.
man of much more than ordinary
ability Only man possessing sound
judgment and love of justice and
having the ability to control his feel
ings under all circumstances could
manage a great labor organization like
that of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers successfully for SO long a
period. The organization will find il
difficult to fill the vacancy which his
death has made

Personal.

of late years the game of billiards
has been growing in popularity among
American women, especially in the
East. Many New York society lead
ers are experts with the cue, notably
Mrs. George Gould and her sister-in-
law, Mrs. Edwin Gould. Mrs. Almeric
Paget, Mrs. Burke Roche and numer-
Gus others also devote much time to
the game.
1t is only about three years since
the dowager Empress OF China loathed
foreigners and everything foreign, but
in that time the Chinese court has bean
modernized in many ways. At a re-
cent entertainment in her palace at
Pekin the Misses Yu Keng, the two
daughters of an eX-minister to Paris
danced a minuet dressed as a French
peasant boy and girl. On the same
evening four Chinese princesses went
through a quadrille, the Empress look
ing on with evident pleasure. Not so
long ago a Chinese woman who dressed
as man brought lasting disgrace on
herself and her relatives.
Mile. Eve Humbert, daughter of the
woman of the phantom millions, is now
said to be living in a charming little
German nook in the valley of the
Weser and near the green Westphalian

1t was nearly midnight and the
group of cabman standing outside the
banqueting hall were Respondent, says
Spare Moments. The night was so
warm and fine that the guests at the
banquet would be sure to walk home
instead of riding.
At length one cabman hit on a bril-
liant idea. He brought a bucket of wa
ter from the horse trough. and poured
it well over the steps of the hall and
the pavement in front of the entrance,
so that it looked as though there had
been a heavy rain. Then he took an
umbrella and dipped it in the water
trough, and, as the beadle threw open
the door for the departing guests the
ingenius cabman stood in the doorway
with his dripping umbrella.
"A fearful night! Raining cats and
dogs" said one of the guests.
Cabs were in such great demand
that there was not one of them went
away without a fare.
