Wants to Make Sure.

Two girls--twin sisters from the
mountains of Tennessee, have gone to
Ninita, |. r., to meet man at that
place who has agreed to marry the one
who makes the best impression upon
him at their meeting. This is case
where the parties were brought into
communication through the agency of
a matrimonial paper. Both girls sent
their photos, but the would-be groom
could not make up his mind which he
liked best. so sent money for both to
come that he might make his choice
between them. To prove that his IN
tentions were all right the territory
man sent money for the girls big
brother to come along and see that
everything was square.-New YORK

THE NEW DEPARTMENT.

The Secretary of Commerce will no
doubt be George B. Cortelyou, Secre-
tary to the President. This new
department of the government was
talked of before President McKiney's
death, and it was understood then that
in the event it was created Mr.. Cortel-
you would be placed at the head of it.
OF his ability to manage it satisfac-
torily there does not seem to be any
doubt. He has been so long at the
White House that he has acquired a
wide acquaintance with public men
and, affairs, and at the same time he is
a man of much more than average
ability.
There are three assistant secretary
ships, and just now there is a great
scramble for these places. 1t is thought
that one of them will be given TO a rep
resentative of labor. for the reason that
the labor organizations are not over
well pleased with the fact that the Blu
reau of Labor has been attached to this
department.
Perhaps the most important bureau
connected with the Department of
Commerce is that of corporations. If
the bureau is to amount to anything a
man of exceptional ability and force of
character will have to be placed at the
head of it. Prof. jerks of Cornell Uni
versity has been mentioned for the
place. He has had a great deal to say
about trusts, but it is a question
whether he would make an official that
would manage a great bureau, such as
this will be, to the satisfaction of the
country. 1t would seem as if a diff
ferent sort of man altogether ought to
be at the head of it-a practical, hard
headed sort of man, not a theorist,
as Prof. jerks is. No doubt the cor
porations would be satisfied with him.
He could write fine essays, and as long
as he confined himself to that sort of
work they would not complain.
Now that the Department of Com
merce has been created it will begin to
grow. And it will be surprising how
rapid its growth will be. 1t is very
small affair now, but next year it will
be much bigger and in five years it
will be so big and will ask for such a
| large appropriation that the question
Of erecting a $1,000, 900 building for
it's accommodation will have to be con-
sidered.

An Easy Victory.

The Doblin Club was in session, says
the Baltimore American.
1t was the night when a contest was
on among the head liars.
beautiful silken pennant was to be
given to the one who could Mum
chausen the rest.
Great interest was manifested.
One by one the contestants sprung
their preposterous lies, and not one
trace of excitement was shown.
Finally a quiet man who sat in the
corner and who seldom. if ever. took
part in the prevarication contests, arose
and said:
Lexington street to-day where the
pavement is narrow, 1 was walking
along behind a lady who was carrying
an umbrella and talking rapidly to her
lady companion. The woman who was
carrying the umbrella heard my foot
steps rapidly approaching behind her.
and realizing that was in a hurry, she
stepped aside to let me pass"
But he got no further.
With looks of hateful envy the 9TH
ers got up one at time and silently
left the room
AS the president of the club was
leaving he called sullen1y back:
You will find the pennant in the
drawer of the desk"
And as he proudly filched out the lit
tie flag the quiet man murmured:
1T was too easy-it does look like
shame 10 take it,"

THE vANDERB1LTs CIT NO FIGURE.


The officials of the Southern Rail-
way have taken the trouble to ex-
plain why the train of that railway
ran back from Vaudeville to Pineland,
a distance of twenty-five miles. simp-
ly to accommodate some members Of
the Vanderbilt family. The train was
the Palm Limited, one of the fast
Florida Express trains. According to
the story that was told at the time
the train does not stop regularly at
Pineland, but was tagged for the Van
derbilts' accommodation. The engineer
did not respect the flag, for the rea-
son probably that he had not been no
titled to respect it, as the regulations
require The train was caught at
Vaudeville and ordered back to Pine
land.
At the time there was a good deal
of comment on the action of the South
ern's officials, and it was wondered if
the train would have been ordered
back and all the schedules disar-
ranged if some one Of no fortune and
no recognized social position had been
left al Pineland station.
These comments must have attract
ed a great deal of attention, other
wise the Southern's officials would not
have noticed them. In one of New
York's Sunday papers an explanation
is offered. One of the Southern's Of
ficials says: I'VE would have stopped
the train and run back twenty-five
miles if 1t had been a negro. There
was no question as to persons; it was
passengers or those who had a right
to be passengers. The millions the
Vanderbilts have did not figure in
the matter. We had made ourselves
liable for damages if these passengers
were not taken"
There is no doubt that the public,
as soon as it was understood that
the Vanderbilts had a contract for
transportation on the train in ques-
ton, was satisfied that the Southerns
officials did what was right in going
back. 1t is doubtful, however, if the
Vanderbilts would have brought a
sui LOT damages II the southern ndQ
not undertaken to correct it's mistake
they being largely interested in rail-
roads themselves, but the public would
have agreed that they were entitled to
damages. But, as a matter of fact,
if the persons who were left at Pine
land had been of no influence or i'm
pOrtance would the train have been
ordered back to Pineland? OF course
we have no ground for questioning
the statement of the officials. but the
officials of many other roads would
have taken the risk of being sued by
the parties left at Pineland rather
than that of being sued by the large
number of Florida tourists who were
delayed at Hardeeville for an hour or
more. There was no reason why they
should have been made to suffer
because of the mistake of the roads
officials. Viewed from the standpoint
of damages the risk of going back
was greater than that of going on
and leaving the Vanderbilts to take a
later train
