A Sensitive Horse.

Harsh treatment, though it stop short
Of inhictinS physical pain, keeps
nervous horse in q state Of misery. On
the other hand, it is perfectly true, as
besotted but intelligent stable keeper
once observed to me, "a kind word for
a boss IS rs good sometimes as a feed
Of oats"
\ single blow may be enough to spoil
q racer. Daniel Lambert founder OF
the Lambert branch Of the Morgan
family, was thought as three-year-old
to be the fastest totting stallion Of his
day. He was very handsome, stylish,
intelligent horse, and also extremely
sensitive.
His driver, Dan Mace. though one Of
the best reinsmen in America, oncs
made the mistake, through i'll temper
or bad Judgment Of giving Daniel
Lambert a severe cut with the whip,
and that single blow put an end to his
usefulness as 4 trotter. He became
wild and ungovernable in harness and
remained so for the rest Of his life.

Sandal Mcxims.

It is quite an interesting thing to
learn that some Of our best known
proverbs and notices were originally
used in connection with sundials. Be
fore the days Of watches and CLOCKS,
when dials and sun marks were among
the rude means Of reckoning time, 1t
was a prevailing custom to inscribe
them.
Among the maXims traceabie to this
source are, Make hay while the sun
Shines" The longest day must end
and 'All things do wax and wane."
Sundials spoke the truth, as may be
inferred from historic one which was
placed on st. Paul's cross, in London.
and which proclaimed, Il number none
but sunny hours" This no one will
doubt who has had occasion to consult
n dial on an overcast day.
a famous dial il Sussex, England,
bore four famous notices applicable to
the fight Of time and the brevity OF
life. They were as follows: AFTER
darkness, light" "Alas, how swift?'
81 warn whilst move" and $50 passes
life."
Another old sundial spoke petulant-
" about the same subject in the words,
"Sirrah, be gone about your business" !"

Sally originally carried out her CAKES

Long MINDED Orators.

Edmund Burke's greatest speech Is
generally considered to have been the
one on "Conciliation with America"
The report Of the speech, supplied by
Burke himself, runs to as many as
thirty-two pages. 1t contains over 3d.
900 words. It, therefore, could not
have been delivered under less than
five hours It is curious, by the way,
how long winded all the great British
orators were in Burke's time. The
older Pitt was the first to indulge In
long speeches in the house Of COM
mons. After he had delivered one Of
these famous orations he was hailed
by crowds outside the house with en-
thusiastic cries of Three hours and a
half. Three hours and half!' Gust

A Railroad Of Cures.

The first railroad west Of the ALE
ghanies was built from Lexington to
Frankfort, Ky, in 1881. The road was
laid out with as many curves as posi-
BILE, the engineers declaring that this
was an advantage. The cars were IN
two stories, the lower for women and
children, the upper for men, four per.
sons being seated in each compartment
The cars were at first drawn by mules
but after time locomotive was made
by Lexington mechanic. The tender
head was provided for water which
was drawn in buckets from convenient
wells. In place Of cowcatcher there
were two poles in front fitted with
hickory brooms for sweeping the track.

for the last thirty years, and is con-
sidered one of the most competent
operating officials in this country.
There are other indications that the
Miller, general manager of the Rock
Island system, whom Mr.. Loree
brought from the Vandalia. Other
changes in minor positions are expect
ed soon.
While none of the railway men in
terested in the new regime of the Rock
Island would say in so many words
that Mr.. Loree, the highest paid rail-
road president in the world, had failed
to achieve the success expected in the
handling of the property, it was plain
that his first years administration had
brought only disappointment to the
men in control Mr.. Loree was en-
ticed away from the east to do won
ders for the west. He was induced to
give up the presidency of the Balti-
more and Ohio, which he had held for
two years, and to take the direction
of the Rock Island by an offer of a
salary of $4,000, secured by a five
years contract, and by the further
temptation of a bonus of 100000 in
Rock Island common stock. This
stock is now quoted at about $40 a
share.
BY the terms of the contract Mr..
Loree was to receive the salary even
in the event that he should sever his
connections with the road and in the
event of his death the salary was to
continue to be paid to his widow. The
common stock bonus is now worth
$150,000 on the basis of yesterday
quotations. The year which Mr.. Loree
spent in direction of the Rock Island
system leaves him with the neat sum
of 100000 in sight if not immediately
in hand. And Mr.. Loree is only 46
years old.
The friction which, it appears, has
existed in the Rock Island manage
ment ever since the coming of Mr.
Loree and his 200 eastern railway Off
lais, became critical when, a short
appoint an eastern traffic official to the
position of third vice president and
e1atlic manager.
B. F. Winchell demurred at the time
on the ground that such a place should
be filled by a man of great experience
in western traffic affairs. Mr.. Winchell
finally won the point, and the position
remains open to this day. Another
evidence of the dissatisfaction with the
Loree mana cement is the division of
duties which will characterize the new
supreme charge of the operations and
traffic of the Rock Island system, and
President Davidson will perform the
same duties for the Frisco system.
President Mather of the Rock Island
company is the only official whose
jurisdiction extends over both the
Rock Island and the Frisco systems
After several months of his admins
tration the company was compelled to
curtail expenses, and the retrenchment
is said to have been at the expense of
the physical condition of the property.
Mr., Loree's interference with the

financial methods of the Rock Island
management. Mr.. Loree is described
as man of strong opinion, firm and
unbending, and not likely to be plant
in the contamination of any scheme
of which he did not approve.
Chicago, Oct. 1T developed today
that one reason for the resignation of L.
F. Loree as president of the Rock Island
declined to reside in Chicago and insisted
upon operating the big system from New
Y ork city, 1000 miles from headquarters.
AS soon as Mr.. LOree assumed control
he protested, it is said, at being stationed
in Chicago, insisting that his office be in
New York The offices of Mr.. Leeds, Mr..
Moore and Mr.. Mather already were in
New York, and these men considered it
unnecessary to have another officer of the
company there, particularly the president.
The trouble started over this question and
it eliminated Tuesday in Mr.. Loree's
resignation. Speaking of the situation to-
day, President Mather of the allied sys-
TENS said:
From now on the Rock Island system
will be operated from headquarters in
Chicago. While I will maintain offices in
both cities. the active management of the
property will be from Chicago. We do
not anticipate any radical change in the
official staff, although there may be some
minor shifts affected and these will be
through Mr.. WinchelIS office. So far as
the Chicago and Alton road is concerned,
there will be change in the official
ty to the satisfaction of the owners. Pres
ident Winchell will have his office in Chi
cago and will be the active executive
head of the system

lowed the purchase of control in the
Seaboard Air Line and in the Alton,
bringing the aggregate mileage con-
trolled by the Moores up to fully $4,000
miles.
To make these gigantic railway deals
a financial success, however, it is neces-
sary to weld the great network of roads
into a homogeneous co-ordinated system,
a task which the Moores must delegate
to others. In the effort to accomplish
this, the last act in the greatest rail-
road drama of history, it is not strange,
the stake being so enormous, that the
Moores should have paid one man
bonus of $4,000 and a guarantee of
SIS, 900 annually for five years, and then
have brushed him aside without a mo-
ment's warning. When the stakes reach
a half a billion dollars individuals do
not count.
The Chronicle says:
The news that L. F. Ioree had re-
signed as president of the ROCK Island
railroad was received in railroad cir
cIes by those interested in railroad
stocks with notes and wise looks 1t
has not been secret in Pittsburg that
for some time past A. j. CaSSatt, preS1-
dent of the Pennsylvania road, who
claims to have put Loree where he
has been, was in diametrical opposi-
ton to Loree's late views expressed
and put into practice by his protege- at
thehead of the big Rock Island road.
nor is it any secret here that Loree,
who carried into the west eastern
ideas on railroading, has within the
last wear told Cassatt to attend to his
own business in Pennsylvania. II. G:
Frick the millionaire coke man OF
Pittsburg, is the heaviest individual
stockholder in the Pennsylvania and is
a. very close friend of CaSSatt lie Is
also one of the heavy stockholders OF
the Rock Island. George g. McMurty
of Pittsburg is the only other ROCK
island stakeholder in that city ana
when the news came that the Rock
island had failed to make good at the
cash register under the Loree manage
ment there was trouble.
The Tribune says:
The resignation of L. F. Loree, the
"S5OO,OOO president of the chicago
Rock island & Pacific Railway com
pany. it developed yesterday, is to be
of far reaching effect. In 1t are IN
voIved dissatisfaction with eastern
IDEAS in the management OF western
railroads and a return to the methodS
in force before Mr.. Loree was IN
duced to leave the Baltimore & ohio
to come west.
The first indication of this phase of
the difficulty came in the resignation
Yesterday of c. s. McKin, general su-
perintendent of the Rock Island sys-
tenn The resignation was promptly
accepted. Mr.. McKim was formerly
superintendent OF telegraph for the
Pennsylvania road. and was one of 200
railway officials brought west by Pres
ident Loree when he assumed man
agement of the Rock Island.
Mr.. McKim will be succeeded by w.
