ENGLISH RAILWAY GUARDS.
How They Differ From Conductors in
 the United States.

From the New York Herald.
 English railroad conductors have novel way of adding to their salaries, aside from little favors done to passen- gers which bring forth tip. They act as a sort of country exchange for farm produce The conductor best fitted to this work is one who Is on a slow train running to London through dairy or wild country. He makes arrangements with the country people to take to the nearest station on certain days new lald eggs dairy butter cream, and occasion ally "broiers'' and other farm delicacies He pays cash and for that reason gets the produce at low figure. Transports- ton costs him nothing.
 One of these guards, who was most successful. deals entirely In eggs. During the entire winter he takes into London upward of fifty dozens of eggs each week. and the highest price he paid for them was 25 cents. These he had no difficulty in disposing of to the West End hotel propretors at a 50 per cent tn- crease In price,
 Another guard with a good "wayside connection" in the west of England has
 been for many years an importer of rab- bits in a small way. But for the room the animals took up in car, which linn l lteu lnt HuIlDtT Ht was dDit tO NldiSpoi | at one time this man would probably
 have retired to private life earlier than | he actually did He was in the habit of | getting the "bunnies'' at from q to $150 1 dozen, and, having established excel l lent connections of his own, he found
 himself independent of dealers. Many of the animals were sold to the regular
 passengers, and his wife also disposed of
 many of them to friends.
 Not more than ten years ago it was
 the practice for the country people liv-
 ing at little waysde towns in England l to commission the guard of the cross
 country train which stopped at their sta 1 ton in the early morning to carry back with him at night from the town gro- ceries, hardware clothes and thousand and one necessities of the home. The | guard was able on these commissions to charge both the country people and the l shopkeepeps. But this branch of rural trade has been done away with since the
 trains make shorter stops and keep more rigidly to the schedule time.
 Another branch industry which was followed by a good-natured conductor on the Chatham and Southeastern railway
 was that of nursemaid. He was very
 popular with children, and 1t became
 the custom of his neighbors to ask him
 to take one of the children, always the most troublesome, of course, for a ride in his train on wash days.
 Many conductors on trains which run to the seashore and watering places are paid a commission by the hotel proprie- tors. The conductors have cards from these hotels and strongly recommend
 them to any passenger who seems in
 doubt as to a suitable place to pass few weeks. Sometimes their own wives
 let rooms. and this gives them a good l chance to see that these apartments are always filled during the eason.

THIS MORNINGS GOSSIP

The cotillon to be given this evening by Mr, and Mrs Kettig at the Hiilman will be one of elaborate beauty and brilliancy and in compliment to five of the most pro- nouneed beauties and beles in society. The lovely hostess Is herself one of the most charming and exquisite women whose entertainments are noted for their elegance. and the prominence or both MT. and Mrs. Kettig in the social world gives a distinct social interest to their ball, which is really to be a magnificent affair. Whether entertaining in their beautiful house on Nineteenth street or at the club or at the more formal and larger events at the Hillman, MT. and Mrs Kettig are the ever popular host and hostess, Mrs. Kettig attracting the attention and ad- miration always accorded the bright and charming woman.
 This admiration is not only accorded her here in her home but elsewhere, as last summer at Lake Toxaway, where she en- tertained delightfully."- at beautiful Lake Toxaway Inn, and at Asheville, where she was with the Birmingham party at The Manor, she was pronounced one of the most beautiful women of the season.
 In the Watteau room at the Hillman to- night she will present lovely picture with the young women receiving with her each a fair and distinct type of beauty. Miss Anderson, tall slender and ex- tremely graceful, is an ideal type, with her rich brown hair and exquisite dark eyes. No girl who has entered society in recent years is more universally admired by both old and young. She Is a brilliant conversationalist, vivacious and sparkling. In her girlishness she adheres to the charming simplicity of dress that Is so att tractlve and charming.
 Miss Bessie Jemison, by her unusual beauty and vivacious manner, is pro- nounced belle. In her colorng she com pines a brilliant complexion with eyes that are deeply, darkly, beautifully blue, and she is on all occasions the type of the charming woman who wins enthusiastic admiration. There is winsomness and fascination that is peculiarly her own.
 Miss DeBardeleben, of the younger belles in society, is an attractive and ad- mired type, inheriting the qualities that makes her sister the lovely Mrs. Walker Percy, one of the handsomest and most popular woman In society. Miss DeBarde- leben is the brunette type of beauty her coloring very rich, and she possesses eyes that are brilliant and expressive.
 Miss Dunn Is one of the most popular girls in society. She Is notably handsome, combining a rich brunette tint. She en- tered society last winter, and her social career has been that of the admired belle. Last summer Miss Dunn travelled with

RusssKY IS SORE.
Moscow Paper Creates Sensation by
 It's Comments.

Moscow. January 25.-The liberal paper Russky has created a sensation owing to its comment on the official statement of the St. Petersburg shooting. The pa per says:
 This official report does not come from the scene of the war; the victims have not fallen on the battlefields of Manchuria, nor in fight with a foreign foe, but in a bloody conflict between troops and Russian burghers.
 Arms and slaughter may avail to put down peaceful demonstration. but force i. not powerful enough to quench the aspirations of the Russian heart. ward off the consequences of Sundays vol leys, and prevent the movement for lib- erty and a justly organized government coming to a full fruition."

DEATH MASK STAMPS
Caused a Sensation in Servia and
 They We're Withdrawn.

From the London News.
 According to a Belgrade correspondent, the publication of the story of Queen Nathalie's intrigue to revenge herself on Servia, followed by the sudden with drawal by the postal authorities of all the new coronation stamps, is the sole topic of conversation throughout the Balkan states.
 In order to celebrate King Peters cor onation, the Servian government decided to issue series of large postal labels bearing the new monarchs portrait, be- side that of his ancestor, Karageorge.
 The engraving was unfortunately en- trusted to Frenchman named Mouchon. a person. 1t is alleged very friendly to- ward Queen Nathalie and he very skill fully introduced into the design for the new postage stamps the ghastly features of the Queens murdered son, King Alex ander.
 A vast number of the coronation stamps were issued to the public before it be- came known to the authorities that the new issue was regarded by many of King Peters subjects as a heavenly sign" that the new monarchs reign was to be
 brief and bloody
 If one of the new stamps be held up- side down the unmistakable death mask of King Alexander may be seen, formed by portion of King Peters head with that of his ancestor, Karageorge. The nostrils of the two heads together form the eyes of the murdered monarch, the mustaches make the eyebrows ane the eyebrow and eye of Karageorge A~rm 1 King Alexander's nose and mouth. The death mask stamps'-as the new | issue has become known-have undoubt- l edly made a great impression in the Al.A t1l AI, 'I learn on the best authority" con cludes the correspondent, that the gov | ernment is making desperate efforts to buy up as many of the dangerous labels as possible and is even sending agents abroad to France. Germany and England to secure them. at any cost, from spec ulators and foreign stamp dealers"
