FORCED Mr.. CASSATT
TO PAY HIS FARE
Conductor on Pennsylvania Train Re-
quired President to Do as Other
Passengers-Had No Pass.

: A j. Cassatt, president of the Penn
syIvaDia Railroad. is the graceful victim
of joke which his railroad friends are
enjoying at his expense.
Recently Mr. Cassatt was unexpected
iy called from Philadelphia to New York
on business. Hurriedly leaving his office
IN Broad Street Station, he reached the
train shed IN time TO catch regular
train just leaving for Gotham
In due course of time, the conductor
made his appearance in the Pullman car
in which Mr.. Cassatt was seated, to col
lect the tickets Of the passengers. He
was veteran Of the road. and knew
all the officials by sight Thus when he
came 10 where sat the president of the
company, he merely nodded and passed
on, without the formality of asking him
to display his pass.
Hardly had he taken two steps, how
ever, when Mr.. Cassatt called him back.
Why didn't you ask me to show my
pass?" he asked, with a severe look on
his face.
Because 1 knew you were Mr. Cas-
satt." replied the conductor
That's no good reason. Suppose you
had been mistaken? 1t is your duty to
ask every passenger to show his ticket
whether not he happens to he an of
fetal: and If he can't produce it. make
fim pay his fare"
''All right, sir; I'll be careful in the
future. VIII you kindly let me see your
pass?''
Why, er-yes-er.'' said Mr. Cassatt
fumbltng in his pocket for the bit of
pasteboard- He couldn't find IL He
didn't have 1t with him.
Mr.. Cassatt grew red in the face as
he made the discovery.
Er-you see, the fact is 1 haven't my
pass with me-
We'll. then. Mr.. Cassatt, l will be
compelled to ask you to pay your fare
AS Mr. Cassatt gingerly drew his
money out and handed the conductor the
fare ripple of laughter could be
heard from various parts of the car

ELIZA MCCOY FAITHFUL
TO THE OLD REGIME
Negro Woman Who Remained With

Fifty-four Years.

HYATTSVILLE. Nd. Dec 24-Eliza
Mccoy, u negress of very light color,

er Tower spoke of the deceased as one
who. though illiterate, had acquired
with rare perfection the knowledge OF
how to save her soul. and who had .7ith
unremittins fidelity lived uD 10 the re-
quirements of that knowledge
The humble, uneventful history of this
woman's sixsy-one years of life reveals
q beautiful trait of character, and illus
trates the romantic attachment between
master and slave which havors the lit
erafure OF the Old South.
At the age of seven years she and her
family were inherited by the late
Michael Hurley, who then lived at Nor
folk. Va He shortly afterward came 10
Washington where. in 1859. he freed the
whole family. Eliza, then sixteen years
of age, cornely in appearance. agreeable
in her habits, and di,igent in her house
keeping duties. said: Free or not
free, I 1--we with you as 1 have lived. -
She kept her word for fifty-four years,
and until death released her from the
obligation.
During the stay of the family in
Washington. ard while the civil war
was raging. Eliza contracted smallpox
Instead of being sent to the pesthouse-
she WAS for weeks faithfully nursed by
the members OF her masters family
About the close of the war Mr. Hurley
moved his family to this vicinity, anc
it has lived here ever since, for many
years in Hyattsville- In the eleven
months Illness preceding EIiza-s death.
as on every occasion of her sickness, she
was nursed with the same care and
tenderness rs if she had been a member
of the family
About two years ago Mrs Hurley lost
her youngest son, to whom Eliza was
greatly attached. His death made a
deep impression upon her rnenJaI
strength, and she never fully recovered.
She never married. as she never allowed
any ties of affection to come between her
and her masters family

EBB AND FLOW OF THE TIDE

The story of the immigration to the
United States in eighty-five years is told
in chart issued yesterday by Commits
sioner General of immigration Frank J.
Sargent.
This valuable document shows that
from ZIG to 1920 the estimated arrivals
in the new republic amounted to only
z5e.eoc- From 1920 to 1se4 the number
was 21,sqS, ,ss4, a number greater than
the total population of the country as
late as the Mexican war
In the chart are hidden many tales of
interest as to when the would-be citi-
zens have decided it was auspicious so
come here. and when TO stay away.
For instance, during the Mexican war
the immigration dropped from 1896 70

at the close OF hostiiities.
Figures Co Up.
Then without a single backward
slip the figures went up. The early Irish
famine and trouble abroad, with the
prosperity Of this country, had their
effect in 1854, and the number of peo-
pie who came here from abroad during
that twelve-month reached 42I.SS3- This
was the time OF the wondro:1s growth
OF the Mississippi valley towCs, and
when New Orleans, because Of her be-.
ing at the mouth OF the Father of
Waters and the headquarters Of the
river steamboat trade. grew into the
Crescent City it is today.
