He died Monday morning OF a hemorr-
hage. He had been i'll a long time In a
quiet house in Fifteenth street. Nobody re-
members the number.
You see. people had lost sight of Billy Cor
the last twenty-five years and Il was only
when he died that people recalled that there
had been such man In the old San Fran
cisco minstrels a dulcet tenor contempo-
raneeus with Billy Birch, Raymon Moore,
Hughie Dougherty, Willis Sweatnam and
the rest.
He had no relatives left. He had friends.
but they had drifted-like all friends on the
road. They met on the Rialto. They shook
hands and said
"Ysu? Why, thought you were dead
long ago. Somebody told me you were dead
like all the rest of 'em. Good Joke, Ell? Let's
have a drink "
Last week Billy Black, or Hart, was play-
ing with burlesque troupe down in Four
teenth street. He did not turn up one after
noon-that was Monday-and when they in
quired why, old Billy was dead.
The burlesque company, which liked him
found what was left OF him in the under
taking shop He looked quiet and he smiled
as he always had. Somebody wondered who
was going to pay for the funeral. But
Frank Campbell, the undertaken, had told
Rev DR.. H. NJ. Warren. the hotel chan
lain. who always does the right thing by
people in Queer street DIR. Warren found
the money.
Thursday when o'clock came, when Billy
was to be buried. at least 800 OF "the pro-
fession" had dropped in and dropped
flowers on the comm. And when Billy Black
or Billy Hart, whichever name was best
beloved-went to Evergreen cemetery his
comm was piled with wreaths and there
were fourteen carriages. Who was in them?
Nobody knew-but Billy-New York Times.

POLITICIANS BADLY SHOCKED
Pathetic Features of the Order Abol-

Pathetic beyond the power OF words to

Not Candidate.


Councilman Hoye OF the Second ward
branded some members of the city council

before the club at its meeting Friday
night

FIGHT FOR CARRYING MAIL
Railroads Framing Up for Contract foI
Next Fsur Years.
NEW ELEMENT OF COMPETITION ARISES
Missouri Pacino and
santa Fe Said TO he Buck
ing the Roads Now
Employed.

Time is approaching for the fight be-
tween the western railroads for the priv
iegc of hauling the government mail and
the railroads are marshaling their forces
to try to secure this coveted prize. Con-
ferences are being held by the Union Pa
eihc and Burlington In reference to lower
ing the time of hauling these fast trains.
for time is the essence Of the contract with
Uncle Sam. new factor OF competition
is entering the field II Is said the Penn
sylvania, the Missouri Pacific and the
Santa F'e are uniting to strive to take tho
plum from the New York Central. the Lake
Shore, the Burlington. the Union Pacific
and the Southern Pacific.
Every four years Uncle Sam has this
mail weighed. the road is chosen for IL to
travel over and the compensation deter
mined for the next four years. The pay Is
less than on regular mail business and an
exaggerated idea of tho compensation ex-
lists. The extraordinary speed is consid-
cred in connection with the expensive char
actor of the power and equipment and the
constant need for its replacement to keep
1t In the highest possible standing.
-Four years ago the Northwestern made
an effort to secure the contract from Chi
cago to Omaha. two trains west and ono
east and for month ran a train at light
ming speed over its doube-tracked road,
but the experience of the Burlington In
handling this train for twenty years evil
IDENTIFY put II In a position TO make the
better showing.
History OF the Contest.
Twenty-Five years ago the agents OF the
government tried to get Marvin HuRhitt
then, as now, the head of the Northwestern.
to haul this train. After due consideration,
Mr.. Hughitt concluded he did not want the
business, which would have to be hauled
at loss. The agent then went to T. J.
Potter, general manager of the Burlington.
who thought for minute and then said
he would haul the train. This conversation
with Mr.. Potter has been of great benefit
to tho Burlington in keeping this contract.
for the Burlington hauled that train for
some years at an actual loss; but now.
when IL takes two full trains daily from
Chicago to Omaha, tho other roads would
like the business
The Pennsylvania has established a fast
train between New York and St Louis.
and the Missouri Pacific a fast train be-
tween st. Louis and Kansas City, and the
Santa Fe has reduced the running time OF
Its limited two hours. These reductions
are said to make a faster mail route to
the coast than the one now In use, so Il Is
said to be up to the roads which now hold
the contract to speed up a little. No action
has been taken by the government in the
matter, but the railroads realize that IL
the other roads can make a better showing
at the next reweighing. which comes this
spring change is liable to be made for
the faster route.
