SOUTHERN PACIFIC'S
FINE TOURIST CARS.

The tourist car service Of the
Southern Pacific railroad has
proven one of the most attractive
features in transcontinental travel,
and there are constant evidences
that its popularity is ever on the
increase, says the Houston Post.
As simple instance Of this fact.
L. H. Nutting, general eastern pass
enger agent Of the Southern Pacific
at New York, recently received 4
letter, which he forwarded to Gen
eral Passenger Agent T. J. Ander-
son, from Mr.. E. J. Mercelius, who,
with his wife and son, recently
travelled from New York to Cal
ifornia via one of the Southern
Pacific Tourist Cars, which run
through without change from the
Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. The
letter was dated Riverside, Cal
ifornia, July both. and said:
1T does not seem right for me
not to express to-you, as a re-
preventative Of the Southern Pa
cific. my appreciation for the many
kind attentions received during our
journey from New York here, and
especially to commend the gentle
manly and courteous attentions to
all from your tourist agent, Mr..
John N. Knight, who IS certainly
the right man in the right place,
TO such an extent that it was with
regret that we left our car house
upon arrival Of this train at Cotton.
This letter may not be Of great
interest TO you, but to me It IS ex-
pressing thanks for many things
that are not always included In a
railroad ticket. Yours truly.
(Signed) E J. NERCELIUS. g
To those who know Mr.. knight
1t IS needless TO say that this high
commentator from the Southern
Pacific traveller was in no way
overdrawn

SURVEYING sOUTHOF ALICE

= Ck\ l. INO SUI 1 II Or ALlCE-
While in Alice last Monday the
writer had the pleasure Of meeting
Engineer Hardaway, of the S. A. q
4. P. road. He said the surveyors
had Just returned to Alice to start
out again, and would survey anoth-
er line south towards Brownsville
on the lower Rio Grande; said that
thaline surveyed before ran right
into q salt lake in Hidalgo county,
about sixty miles south of Alice,
hence the reason for running anoth-
er line to get around the lake,
which he said had high banks. Mr..
Hardawsy said the surveyors would
likely run east Of the lake. Being
asked as to wnen the grading would
be commenced on the road from
Alice to Brownsville, Mr.. Hard
away said he could not say, but he
thought it would be very SON.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Memphis Commercial-Appea
(Dem.) says: The native white popu-
lation of the South is increasing at a
greater rate than anywhere else except
in some of the scantily populated states
of the Far West. Railroads are build
ing, manufacturing establishments are
doubling, our financial institutions are
on solid foundation, our great cotton
crop means an annual revenue of $780,
100000; our Seaports are taking trade
away from Northern seaports Just as
surely as New England is marked for
decadence is the South destined to be
the dominant factor in the life of the
republic"
The Toronto (Can.) World says:
"A British diplomat lost us the terri
tory which is now the state of Maine.
A British iurist, it appears, has now
decided that we asserted false claims
in Alaska. These easy triumphs for
American diplomacy in the settlement
of boundary disputes are full of dam
gerous possibilities. There is broad
frontier between Canada and the
United States. If raising a boundary
claim is to make its subsequent ac-
acknowledgements a mere matter of form,
the Americans are likely to make our
frontier bristle with boundary issues
before Canada is much Older
The Philadelphia Record Dem.)
says: 1.-The public is somewhat accus-
toned to the airy way in which modern
promoters and underwriters toss mil
lions about. but it has not been pre-
pared for the absolute Indifference the
organizers of the United States Ship
building Company showed to tens of
millions. Mr.. Nixon testified that
Mr.. Schwab offered to sell the Bethle-
hem Steel Company for SO, 600 in
cash or S10,000.000 in bonds, which was
not an unreasonable equivalent; in
fact, 1t was very moderate. But after
Mr.. Schwab had seen Mr.. Morgan he
said Messrs. Nixon and Dresser would
have to give $50, 0OO 900 in stock in ad-
dition to the bonds, and $5,0OO,000 of
the stock would go to Mr.. Morgan. No
one asked why Mr. Morgan should
have any stock, and trifiing addition
of $20,000,000 in stock to the price of the
steel works did not disturb Dresser and
Nixon at all. AS they expected to get
il back from the public it did not make
much difference what they paid. They
showed no deeper interest in the actu-
al value of the shipyards than in that
of the steel works."

THE GROWTH OF ALASKA.

The decision in the Alaskan boun-
dairy case. giving to the United States
substantially all they claimed. draws
anew public attention to that great
territory which Russia coded to this
country for the sum of 100000 in
1867. There were many tourists. es-
pecially from the North Atlantic coast
cities, to Alaska, during the past sum-
mer, but doubtless few of them gained
during their trip much information of
the resources of the country. The
boomer is not there yet in force, but
the indications are that he will be
there soon.
In the current number of the Worlds
Work. there is an article that contains
vast amount of information respect
ing Alaska, it's climate. it's resources
surprise many to know that while the
total amount of Alaskas foreign
trade, that is, all that she bought and
sold. in 1892, amounted in value to
only $4,000, it amounted during the
| fiscal year ending June 80, last, to $685.
| 900. 900.
The truth is, railroads are being
built to all of the most important
| parts of the territory. Nome has a
population of $4,000, and a railroad
In fact, she has the telegraph, tele-
phone, newspapers, excellent hotels.
| and many other things which first
class cities have. With the railroads
now building it will require only a
comparatively short extension to con-
meet with Russla's great Siberian rail-
road. With such a connection it Will
not be necessary to make a sea voy-
age to get the latest Paris fashions.
The trip can be made by rail.
1t isn't so cold in Alaska as it is
popularity supposed to be. The cli-
mate of the territory isn't SO cold as
that of Montana or Wyoming. All of
the hardy vegetables are grown there,
and also wheat, barley and oats.
And the wealth of the fisheries is
almost beyond comprehension. The
value of the salmon caught in Alaska
last year was over $7OO0.OOO.
1t is unnecessary to speak of the
territorys mineral wealth. 1t is very
great. The production of gold is al
ready large and the production of other
minerals will soon be attracting at
tention. There is no doubt that in
the course of a quarter of century
Alaska will be occupied by an i'm
mense population. The movement
there is now very large and is increas-
ing all the time.

THE CAHRAGE WORM SCARE.

1t seems the people in a section of
North Georgia are so much alarmed by
the report that a worm found in the
cabbages grown there is Of a
highly poisonous character that they
no longer have that vegetable on their
bills of fare. The story that was cir
culated and sent to the newspapers
was that a specimen of the worm had
been sent to the state chemist who had
reported that it contained poison
enough to kill fifteen people. 1t was
also stated that several persons had
them had eaten cabbage shortly be-
fore they died and that the conclusion
had been reached that they were vic
Tins of the worm.
We did not publish the story be-
cause we were of the opinion that If
any such worm had been sent to the
state chemist and he had made the
sensational report credited to him, the
fact would have reached the public
from Atlanta long before it was cir
culated in that part of the state in
which it was attracting attention.
AS matter of fact, however, a spec
linen of the worm was sent to the De-
partment of Agriculture at Atlanta,
but it was not submitted to the state
chemist. 1t was not thought necessary
to submit it to him. The state ento-
mologist pronounced it an EEL worm, -
but apparently did not think it OF
enough Importance to give much at
tention to it. He did not think il
would kill a person who swallowed it.
We call attention to this matter fol-
the reason that as far as now known
considerable loss has been inflicted up
on the cabbage growers of North Geor-
gia by the circulation of the story
There is no good reason for thinking
that the worm is poisonous, or that ii
would cause trouble to any one get
ting it into his stomach in eating cab
bage. II is probably harmless par.
asite that can be easily washed off the
cabbage on which it finds a Judgment
or which is wholly destroyed in the
process of cooking that vegetable
There seems to be no doubt, however
that the worm caused a genuine scare
in several North Georgia counties
where the cabbage is extensively cul-
tivated.
