 special dispatch from New Orleans. November 10. to the St. Louis Globe Democrat says:
 On the first day of the session of the American association of travelling pas senger agents it was decided to change the itinerary so as to include St. Louis in the return trip. This decision was made at the request of President Francis and Traffic Director Eilleary of the Lou isiana Purchase Exposition and at the in yitation of the various lines over which the party will have to go
 Robert H. Sexton, superintendent of the bureau of publicity of the Exposition, is here to help in securing the next con- vention for St. Louis. but there has de- veloped a considerable sentiment that no convention at all should be held next year on account of the heavy business which will follow the opening of the Ex- position. This fact, even If not responsi- ble for doing away with next years meet ing, will exert great influence upon the place of the next meeting. Portland and Mexico City are thus far leading for the honor, although Fl Paso is doing it's ut- most to carry the convention there.
 At the meeting today welcome address was made by Mayor Paul Capdevielle on behalf of the city and by George H. Smith of the New Orleans and Northeas- tern on behalf of the local committed. President T. F. Fitzgerald presided. E. F. Burnett of New York, the present vice president, is mentioned as likely to sue to tba

 As new general manager of the Queen and Crescent route, w. A. Gar
 rett's remarkable vigor and individual
 ity are already in unmistakable evidence
 all along the line. Already a belated train has become a rarity; there is a noticeable dexterity on the part of every attache on the trains and at the sta tions, and MT. Garrett is known and liked by all of them, who anticipate his friendly salute at every meeting or pas sage. He has already abolished smoke over the 0. and c. passenger trains by ! his process, of "smokeless firing" and it is a distinct success. General Man ager Garrett is said to receive the enor-
 nous salary of $120O0 in his new position
 but he saved the Q. and c. company the
 amount at single stroke. MT. Garrett
 was secured for the Q. and c. system
 by no less a parsonage than President
 Samuel Spencer himself, and he Is esti-
 mated to have a significant future with the giant Southern syndicate. He is just turning fifty but seems to be growing
 backwards, judging from his unflagging vigor and brightness. and the zest with
 which he discharges his multitudinous duties. MT. Garret has no followers or pets, but holds every employe to a strict accountability for the intelligent and en-
 ergetic discharge of his responsibilities. General Manager Garrett is having fine private car built for practical use in his arduous work on the system. He is in
 his clothes and harness the major DOT
 tion of his time, and there is no other
 way to provide himself with the com
 forts and requisites of his ubiquitous
 work. The car will have all the com
 forts of a home.
