ALL ENGINEERS TO GRADUATE.
Throttle PuIlers Must Take Thorough
Course.

Hereafter, all the engineers of the
Central of Georgia Railway must be
graduates" from the shops, and there
will be no more promotions of fremen
to the position of throttle-pullers. For
fifty years it has been the custom to
promote tiremen to these places when
they have shown the proper efficiency.
Not so in the future. The rule of half
century has been changed and modern
means have been adopted to meet
modern requirements. Engineers in
the future on that system must start at
the bottom as apprentices in the ma
chine shops and matricuIate in all the
mechanical systems of the construction
of an engine before they can handle
the big machine.

and moisture. AS soon as water is added to Bak-

to act upon each other, and in so doing, liberate
gas which, in escaping raises the bread and

AND WHISTLER WAS MARRIED

From the Youths Companion


Mr.. Labouchere of Truth is a daring man.
He recently confessed to having acted as
matchmaker between the late gifted and
eccentric artist, James Mcneil Whistler,
and the lady who became his wife, but who
was at the time charming little widow Of
artistic tastes. happy-go-lucky ways and
sunny disposition.
The two were known to be strongly at
tracted toward each other. and to have al
ready talked in vague. far-off. Flysian
way Of possible matrimony: but it was per-
fectly plain that Whistler would never do
anything so practical and commonplace
as definitely to propose and be accepted
get license. go to church and be married
unless some kind friend took him in hand
Besides. II was touch and go with his tenn
per and his tongue how he might treat any
kind friend who should attempt the service.
Mr. Labouchere took the risk. He was dining
with them one evening. and decided to bring
things to the point at once.
Jenny" said he. will you marry Mrs.
Godwin?"
Certainly" answered Whistler.
Mrs. GOODWIN. the bold matchmaker con-
tinued. will you marry Jemmy?"
Certainly" responded the lady
"When?" persisted tho practical Labou-
chere.
"Oh. some dav." said Whistler.
That won't do" said Labouchere We
must have date"
so they both agreed" he narrates. that
I should choose the day. tell them what
church to come to for the cerem ony, pro-
vide A clergyman and give the bride away
I fxed an early date and got them the chap
lain Of the House OF Commons to perform
the ceremony. 1t took place a few days
later After tho ceremony was over we
adjourned to Whistler's studio. where he
had prepared a banquet. The banquet
was on the table. but there were no chairs,
so we sat on packing cases. The happy
pair when left had not quite decidedwhether
they would go that evening to Paris or re-
main in the studio.
How impractical they were was shown
when l happened TO meet the bride the day
before the marriage in the street. Don't
forget tomorrow said.
"'No.' she replied. Il am just going to buy
my trousseau.
IA little late for that. Is 1t not2 asked.
mo- she answered. for am only going
to buy tooth brush and new sponge
However. there never was a more success

lived most happily together. and when she
died he was broken-hearted. Indeed. he
never recovered from the loss."

over the advancement of a neighbor. It
is the nearest approach to really, neigh
borly spirit that can be imagined
Little Pat McCarren had good hearted,
neighborly parents, and they in turn had
neighborly neighbors. who patted young
Pat when he graduated from Public School
II in the old Fourteenth ward. He was
1e then, and he wanted to be cooper.
The great sugar refineries were in full
blast on the East River front, and young
McCarren served his apprenticeship in
Heaths old cooper shop at North Sixth
street and Wythe avenue. He was
journeyman cooper at 10. and all the
neighbors said he was good lad and
smart.
Later on, when he became an oil in
spector with Archer & Co., at "a Beaver
street. in the great city of New York.
the neighbors declared that Patrick Henry
McCarren was an honor to his people.
Why, he'd become scientific expert. Did
Pat McCarren have to know all about the
testing of keroseneI-very few spoke OF the
oil as petroleum in those days-and weren't
the great Standard OIL Company's retin-
cries being built on old Newtcwn CreekP
Patrick McCarren might own 'em some day.
So talked the old men and women. and
the lads and lasses Of the old Fourteenth
ward. BY that time young Patrick had
been married to bright young school,
teacher. She had been Miss Kate
Hogan, and all the neighbors turned out
to wish the young couple Godspeed in good
old homely fashion.
McCarren was an oil inspector ten years.
Five children came to the happy young

when he was beaten by George A. Owens,
who accepted the nomination against
McCarren as joke, and even on election
day. although Republican, wore McCarren's
badge on his coat. Yet when the votes
were counted Owens had beaten McCarren
by 500 votes.
That was the year when the Brooklynites
rose in their might against what they called
-Trolleyiztng Brooklyn" David A. Boody,
the Democratic Mayor, had signed the
resolutions Of the Board of Aldermen for
the trolleys, the Brooklynites didn't want
any trolleys then, and they elected Charles
A. Schieren, the Republican candidate
for Mayor, by the unheard-of plurality Of
80 900, and McCarren went down in the
food
But the Brooklynites quickly got over
their resentment against the trolleys,
McCarren carried his old district again and
has continued to ever since. Only politi-
cal revolution can unseat him. It Is one
of those old-fashioned, homely, neighborly
districts which delights to honor one OF
its boys,
McCarren first knew Mclaughlin in 1870.
He has been to every Democratic State
convention since that one in 1855 which
nominated Hill for Governor, and to every
national convention Of his party since 1884,
when Cleveland was nominated, save IN
1900, when he took jaunt TO Europe.
This Is the story Of the cooper boy who
has been built up politically by his neigh
bors among whom he still lives, as he did
fifty years ago Many parents are gone,
but their children and their childrens
children still stand by the son Of old Father
and Mother McCarren and delight to honor
him. And he, In his turn, Is proud and
happy to have such warm and sturdy hearts
beating politically for him.

Nnrthe Brandes, Edward de Max and others
~ the best known of French actors. Mir.
FrohInan, who was to be his partner IN the

further after Mr.. Grau's retirement. 1t
is scarcely possible that any permanent
French theatre will grow out Of the per-
formances in the little theatre In West
Forty fourth street.
New York has not had regular French
company in years. Nor has It shown very
much anxiety for one. Public support OF
performances In foreign tongues Is meagre
In this country. Practically only one woman
ever made for her managers large sums or
money when she acted in a tongue not under
stood by the people. This was Sarah Bern
hardt. Her last tour here was not source
OF much profit to anybody but herself Z,
but that was due to the necessity OF raising
prices.

his manager and tho same was true OF

moments. and neither does he have manv
sorrowful ones.
How did McCarren attain his present
high place in the management Of affairs
OF his party in Brooklyn2
First, he is Brooklyn boy Of the old
school, There are thousands of families
In old Williamsburg and in Brooklyn like
those in the old Greenwich Village Of New
York city that do not move from one house
to another. Generation after generation,
the descendants occupy the old spot, no
matter how humble the home. Never for
an instant do they think of leaving it; and
in thi way generations Of neighbors grow
either to love or to hate each other pro-
digiously. Generally speaking the feeling
between the families is one of intense kind
ness and there is not the same amount of
gossip and twaddling, envy and malice
which oftentimes mar the social life Of
country villages.
There is in these city neighborhoods
keen interest in each others concerns with
out the backbiting so frequent in country
villages, and there are pleasure and pride
