A Novelty in Railroad Hducatiou.

The novel project of running a pa
aatial special train from Chicago to
New Orleans ana return, a distance of
nearly 20, 600 miles, for the sole bene
ht of competitors was successfully car
ried out by the officials of the Illinois
Central Railroad last week. Nearly
100 general passenger agents and
members of their families were tie
guests of the Illinois Central during
the trip. everything, including nusi-
cal entertainments in the observation
car, being provided by the company.
Had anyone undertaken to purchase
the service and entertainment provid-
ed the cost could not have been far
from 1000. The train was. so to
speak, an edition de luxe, the Pullman
Company certifying that the new cars
furnished we're the finest ever manu-
featured by them, and the engineers
and train crew were the most expert
in the employ of the railroad company.
The novelty of the affair consists
largely in the fact that q few years ago
railroad companies strove to keep
from competitors accurate knowl-
edge of conditions along their lines
of railroad. Excluding the COM
plimentary feature, the main purpose
OF the Illinois Central expedition was
to educate competing lines regarding
the unexcelled transportation facilities
possessed by that company, and the
possibilities which lie in the develop
ment of the south. Although progress
sive men, the general passenger
agents who were on the trip were
amazed to learn that the Illinois Cen
trail now practically has a double track
system all the way between Chicago
and New Orleans and a rock ballasted
roadbed with few grades and curves,
which is capable of accommodating an
enormous volume of traffic. They
were also surprised at the phenome-
nal commercial and industrial awaken
ing which the south is experiencing,
and they will spread the news regard
ing both facts for months to come.
In doing this they will be advertis-
ing the south most effectively and pro-
noting travel there from every quar-
ter of the country. Naturally the
Illinois Central will get the benefit OF
this, for; in short, it has recruited a
force of 100 live advertising agents
from among the ranks of its active
competitors. Under railroad methods
in vogue prior to the era of "com-
munity of interests" such an under
taking would have been hailed as sui

JOE OF THE Jingle.

One day, about a week after our
sport with the elephant, two of the
gorillas left home and were gone for
half a day. OF course, / could not
tell where they went, or what for, but
when they returned there was IL great
jabbering and chattering, and / I'M
derstood that something was going to
happen. That evening, instead of
climbing to our nests in the trees.
we set out through the forest to the
west. l was going to take one of the
spears along. but a. gorilla look ii
from my. hand and gave me a club
instead. They seemed to understand
that / could not see at night as well
as they could. and D walked on
either side Of me and gave me bis

We walked fast for two hours. We
met many hyenas prowling about. and

close to a native village. The people
were all asleep in their huts and they
had no dogs to warn them of our conf
ing. What the g%orillas meant to do
I could not guess, but after making
sure hat no one was awake, we went
ahead until we reached d field of
maize.
The g~orillas didn't want to kill any
one, but. they owed the people "a
spite" and took their way of paying
it off. When there was nothing more
to be picked up or destroyed, the big
gorilla called us all together for a talk.
l. can not tell you what he said. but
all the others understood it plain
enough.
When we were ready the big gorilla
cried, Hut Huv' and re dashed into
the huts and seized a sleeping man or
woman. The three Of us got hold
of a big, strong man, and, though he
was greatly surprised at thus being
attacked, he kicked and struck and
bit and made a good fight of it. We
got him out of the hut, however. and
one of the gorillas picked him up and
ran to the bank of the river and flung
him in with a great splash. -Four
other natives were treated the same
way.
The gorillas were thrown into a great
rage and wanted revenge, but they did
not know how to get it until 1 showed
them the way. l cut several vines
and made s~lip-nooses, as l had done to
-catch the lion, and then 1 had the
gorillas so back to The water and pre-
tend to be drinking. 1t was not long
before another crocodile rushed out.
but they were on the watch and dart
ed away, and while he rested on the
bank, wonderin; where his dinner had
gone to, I threw three of the slip
nooses over his head. Then we all got
hold and drew him far from the water,
and when we had beaten him with
clubs we made him fast to a tree and
left him to die.-St. Nicholas.

Fernandez moved that the veto be
overridden, saying that the Governor
had violated the law. He said that
both Houses had passed an item of
$4,000 for the Land Commissioner, yet
under oath that official had said his
expenses were only $500.
Taking UP the various items in the
veto message the Wright matter was
first considered. Greenwich said he
thought there should be care before the
members voted on an item for which
there were no vouchers on contract.

Paele raised the point that the mes
sage must be considered as a whole
Others sustained him but the majority
felt that it could be treated item by
item, in the same way as the Gov
ernor had vetoed the measure.
Harris moved that the veto be re-
ferred to the Attorney General for an
opinion as to proper procedure. Kala-
ma and Chillingworth said that they
wanted to know just where they stood
as they wanted to vote favorably on
some items and against others. The
motion to refer to the Attorney Cen
eral was then carried thirteen to

measure before the time allowed him
for so doing had elapsed.
Senator Isenberg moved that the
communicate ton be accepted and placed
on file, as the Senate had decided the
question its own way.
Senator Achi contended that the
Senate had no right to take any joint
action with the House regarding a
veto. The law was plain. 1t gave the
Senate power to do as it pleased, and
the House the same power on its own
behalf.
Senator Dickey argued that in so do
ing as it pleased, the Senate could act
by committee or any other way. He
moved that the House be informed that
the Senate had deferred consideration
of the Governors message until Thurs
day.
Senator Baldwin held that the con-
ference asked was not on the veto
itself but on the time that had lapsed.
