THE WESTERN UNION NOT GRIP
Piled.

The first reports of the action of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company in
removing the poles and wires of the
Western Union Telegraph Company
from along it's lines left the impression
that the telegraph company was bad
ly crippled. 1t seems that such was not
the case. According to later reports
provision had been made for just such
a condition Of affairs as resulted from
the course pursued by the railroad
company. Lines had been constructed
along the country roads paralleling
those ON the railroads right of way.
Therefore when the AK was put to the
/ Western Union poles by the railroad
company the business of the telegraph
company went on pretty much as us
ual on the newly constructed lines. At
! least that is the report of the president
Of the Western Union.
The feeling between the two great
corporation must be pretty bitter The
superintendent of telegraphs of the
! Pennsylvania Railroad says that the
road offered to buy the poles and wires
I at a fair valuation, so that the West
/ ern Union would lose nothing by hav-
ing TO get off the Pennsylvania right
of way but that to this proposition
no response was made AS a matter
of fact the contract which the tele-
| graph company had with the railroad
company had expired and the railroad,
instead Of renewing the contract, en-
tered into a contract with the Postal
! company.
No doubt the cause of the quarrel
of the Pennsylvania and Western I'm
ion companies would make an interest
ing story if the inside facts could be
obtained. In general way it is under
stood that the trouble grew out Of the
/ determination Of the Goulds 20 take
their railroad line. the Wabash, into
I Bittsburs. and from there 10 push on
! 10 the sea.

A very reputable Providence man was
relating an adventure of his the other
evening to a party of friends, says the
Providence OR. - Journal.
IF l were on a jury" he said, I'D
never convict a man on circumstantial
evidence and I'll tell you why; I've
seen so many instances where appear
ances were entirely against innocent
persons that I've come TO the concIu-
sion that direct evidence of guilt is the
only satisfying kind.
Yesterday l came home from New
York on the through express. In my
suit case was a small phial of whisky
that my wife had packed for me in
case of emergency. l always have a
flask of whisky for such use when I
travel, but the flask couldn't be found
when l left home, so my wife hunted
up glass bottle, with an ordinary
cork stopper.
When the porter dropped the bag
on the floor of the drawing room ear,
he dropped it hard, and when [ opened
the bag | found pretty state of af-
fairs. The whisky was over every
thing, and a decided alcoholic aroma
was waited all around the car. My
travelling cap, for which I had been
hunting, was saturated, so 1 put it on
the steam pipes, alongside my chair, to
dry.
Pretty soon 1 noticed the lady in
front shifting the air with a regular
w. G. T. U. scornfulness. There
wasn't anything for me to say, so l
didn't say anything. But L thought a
lot.
After awhile went forward to have
a smoke. and as l came back through
the car, the engine struck curve. The
result was l lurched like a man who
had been ten nights in a bar room, and
as l reached the aforesaid lady l al
most spraWled into her lap. / looked
away from her as soon as I could
but not soon enough to escape a soul
piercing, humilating flash from her
eye. Then / sat down in confusion and
longed FOR the journey to end
But when we got to Providence. l
found my Cousin Sarah at the station
to welcome this much offended maiden
Heaven l exclaimed to myself, what
story Sarah will hear about met But
l vert home, and, being tired after
the long trip, lay down for the rest OF
the afternoon.
In the evening 1 heard that my
little girl had been over at Cousin
Sarah's house not long after the ar
rival of the guest from New York. Did
your father come home?' asked Sarah.
Yes, said my daughter, but he doesn't
feel very well. He's lying down ever
since he came
THAT rounded out the circle of testi-
mony against me. Do you suppose
that my friend of the drawing room
car will ever be convinced that 1 was
sober?p

SATISFIED WITH THE CHALLEN-
GER.

Sir Thomas Upton says that he is
entirely satisfied with the challenger,
Shamrock III. In the trial races on
the Clyde the yacht behaved beautiful
ly and displayed such fine sailing
qualities that he and his friends seem
to have but little, If any, doubt that
the cup will be carried back to Eng
land as the result of this years con-
test.
AS a matter of fact Sir Thomas says
this is a lucky year for him-that is,
everything seems to be going his way
and for that reason he feels more
confidence than he otherwise would in
the success of his yacht.
He is going to bring over a small
squadron of vessels. There will be his
yacht Erin, two Shamrocks and the
most powerful tug in England. When
this small squadron. flying Sir Thorn
as colors, sails up New York harbor
it will create something of a sensa-
ton.
If the Reliance is the boat she is
claimed to be it is a safe proposition
that the cup will not go to England.
And it is difficult to see how better boats
than those of this year can be built.
It does seem as if both Watson and
Herreshoff had reached the limit of
their skill

Whether Editor Kronshevan of Kishi-
nef speaks with authority cannot of
course be told. If he does. then it
seems there was considerable religious
feeling in connection with the recent
massacre of Jews in that city, ii, in
deed, that feeling was not at the basis
OF the whole bloody business. He has
served notice that the Jews must give
up their religion and become Chris
tians within the space of one year. or
else be driven out Of the country. That.
indeed, is a militant Christianity and
would have delighted the souls of some
of the forwarders of the gospel some
centuries ago who believed in the rack
and screw and fire as aids of their
work.

Minister of Interior Won Plehwe of
Russia, who sent to the Governor of
Bessarabia the order that made the
way clear for the Kishineff massacr
is said to be really the power behind
the throne. His will it is said is
even more potent than that of the
Gar, since the wires of government
control are more largely in his hands
than those Of any other person in the
empire. He is described as a man of
cold blood, calculating and cruel, but
without brilliancy or extraordinary
mental equipment. He has Finnish
blood in his veins, yet it was he who
planned and accomplished the down
fall of Finland, and he is said to be
directly responsible for the sufferings
and indignites visited by Russia
upon that unfortunate people.

The other day Col A A Pope, who
probably did more to popularize the BIZ
cycle than any other man in the Unit
ed States, made an interesting state
ment as to why the bicycle trust failed.
Col. Pope stated at the beginning that
he built up his own great trade in BIZ
cycles by advertising And this is
what he said with respect to the ca
reer of the trust: In the first year
of its triumphal march it began to
salt away money for its stockholders
by cutting down its advertising-using
what one of its officials likes to call
the condensing method Next year it
gave some more wringing twists to the
compress of its condenser. During the
year just closing it compressed its adj
vertising almost to the vanishing point,
and in all these years its business
shrunk in direct proportion TO the
shrinkage of its advertising, until in
September last, just three years from
the month of it's sanguine start, it de-
faulted the payment of its fixed
charges and went into the hands oGsre-
ceivers. 1t never paid a dividend and
its fifty operating plants have shrunk
two-thirds."

The French government acted wise
ly, of course, in prohibiting a contin-
uance of the automobile race from
Paris to Madrid, at least on French
ground. The monstrous machines, run
ming on public highways at a speed of
above a mile a minute, We're of course
a menace to lives and limbs of all who
Glanced to be on the roads, whether as
participants in the race. as spectators
or as ordinary persons going about
their daily business. In the number of
killed and wounded from the accidents
of the first day there were several on
lockers, who couldn't get out of the
way of the whizzing engines of destruc-
ton. If only the speed-mad automo-
bilists were liable to danger from ac-
cidents, it might have been a good idea
for the government to let the racing
so on. but it is a part of the govern
ments business to preserve if it can
the lives of it's innocent citizens.

HOW DOGS FIND THEIR WAY.

Evidence that They Possess Peculiar
Power to Guide Them.
In the old days Of the James River
Canal a fine setter was taken by his
master on a packet boat which was so
crowded that the dog was put IN the
captains cabin to be out Of the way,
saws the New York Mail and Express.
His owner reached his destination af-
ter nightfalI, and had taken SO much
wine by that time that he was carried
off the boat, and no one remembered
his setter.
Next morning the captain took the
dog on deck with him, but was much
afraid he would jump off the towpath
and try to return that way, and so
handsome an animal would have been
in danger Of being stolen
Carlo, however, lay perfectly quiet.
but with an air Of listening that at
tracted notice. Toward noon he heard
the sound Of the horn Of packet COM
ing from the opposite way, and as the
boats passed each other he made
leap and was next heard from as hav-
ing got off at the place where his mas.
ter had stopped, and as having gone
at once to the house where he was Il
guest.
Could human intelligence have sur
passed that?
This same dog lay on his masters
grave and refused food until he died
from starvation. But 1 do not give
this as a case in point.
A gentleman who lived 100 miles
from a city moved there with all his
possessions, including bulldog which
had been raised at his fathers home,
where he had hitherto resided. He
was, locked up in the car with the fur
niture, and the hustle Of unloading
disappeared, and two days afterward
he reached his former home, coming
by an inland route, as was known by
parties who recognized him, so that
he evidently marked out his own path,
without reference to the railroad on
which he had been carried away.

burlington Express Held Up In Mon
tana by Quintet of Bandits.
Five bandits held up the east-bound
Rurlin on express Thursday shortly at
fer midnight on the Northern Pacific
tracks near Homestead, eight miles east
of Butte Mont. The bandits covered
Tho sides of the train with their guns,
uncoupled the engine, mail and express
cars and ran them ahead OF the Lan,
ehout two miles After the robbers had
left with the engine and cars the tram
men Of the passenger train hastened pach
toward Butte and met an lncolnlhs
freight train, the engine or when was
uncoupled to run to Butte and the alarm
given. The railway officials asked the
penitentiary officials at Deer Lodge .oi
their bloodhounds to trail the Dandlts.
The railroad company also offered so,ooo
reward for their capture or $1,OOo re-
word for each member of the gang caught
and convicted.
The train was a double-header, and the
engine with the mail and express cars
was run about six hundred feet ahead Vi
the rest of the train. In few mo-
mnpts after the train was stopped there
1rera two explosions of dynamite when
rrrecl,nd the express cars. The roof was
blown off. but no one was injured by
+ho exnlosion. Reports as to the amount
- booty secured by the robbers vary.

other quarters it Is said the piunoer VIII
amount to several thousand dollars. sew
