Dummy Directors

L. Dummy Directors.
New Orleans States.
In his testimony before the
Armstrong committee Mr.. Jacob
H. Schiff admitted that as q
general rule the directors OF
large corporations are nothing
more than dummies; that they
are powerless and of little use
except to comply with the de-
mand of the law. The business
OF the corporation is absolutely
under the control of the execu-
tive officers who seldom appeal
to the directors for advice in any
matter, hence the directors do
not direct. Itappears. however,
that this is a weakness which is
common to the management of
all great corporations, and is not
confined to the insurance COM
panies. although the law provides
for directors assuming that they
will serve as a check on the
officers and. safeguard
the property of the corporation
and the interests of it's stock
holders. Therefore agents soil
insurance or investment
in railroad shares point to the
names of the prominent men
who have been chosen as direct
ors and declare that it is inn
possible for any one to make a
mistake by casting in his lot
them.
The New York Evening Post,
calls attention to the
act that in the light of the
insurance revelations
such rolls of responsibilities who
lllow the use of their names to

The story that's to tell
Is-Love is more than money
So, we're doin' mighty we'll!

rear seat of the woman's coach, near
an open door and proceeded to smoke

Presently in came a severe looking
woman of middle life, with a large, az

She took the seat in front of the pro-

shifted and glared around, but the doc

she cleared her throat and fidgeted,
and finally she asked aloud if anyone

The solemn conservation Of the new

The Peculiar Russian Cross.

A stranger in Russia is always puz-
zled by short bar near the foot of
every cross, set at an angle of about
as degrees. This is not seen elsewhere
and is due to the fact that the Rus
slams believe the Savior to have been
deformed, to have had one leg shorter
than another. This, their priests teach
them, was by His own wish, in order
that He might suffer to the utmost the
degradation of humanity.
"He hath no form nor comeliness,"
saith the Russian priest. 1--WE did es-
TEEN Him stricken, afflicted and smit-
ten of God. 1t pleased God to bruise
him and put Him to grief"
Strangers are also struck by the way
in which the crosses of the old church.
es are usually represented as rising
from crescents. The Tartars, who
were masters of Russia for 200 years,
converted the churches into mosques
and placed crescents upon their spires.
When the Grand Duke Ivan Vassili-
witch drove out the Tartars and re.
stored the churches he left the cres-
cents where the Mahometans had
placed them, but painted the cross
upon them as the sign of victory, and
the Russians still continue this prac.
tice.

Right Rev. Bishop Fox, of Green

obedience to the bishops orders. For

that he possessed some peculiar pow

duties, request the public not to

THE PALATINES.
Curious Colony Of Survivors Of Ger
man Ancestors.

CURIOUS colony OF SURVIVORS OF Ger
man Ancestors.
One of the curious relics of the past
in Ireland are the survivors of the
German Palatines, who were brought
over in one of the insane freaks OF
British mis-rule to supplant the native
inhabitants. In the county Limerick
1t is believed there are yet some 100
Palatine families who cluster along
the IL miles of road between Patricks.
we'll and Rathkeale, and form an ap-
probable element in the poulation of
the county.
In the year 1880, when that great
observer, Arthur Young, visited Adare,
which is the center of the Palatine
country, he found they still retained
many traces of their German origin.
They still spoke the German tongue.
though it was visibly declining; they
slept, as Germans still sleep, between
two feather beds, and they had an
elective chief. who was known by the
German name of burgomaster. The
very easy terms on which they held
their lands made them prosperous, and
their well-cultivated farms were most
ly in tillage.
Today the Palatine farmer has lost
all those distinctive traits. He has
drifted away from tillage to use his
lands as other farmers do in the coun-
try, mainly as dairy farms. He can
not speak a word Of German, and you
can search in vain for trace of his
connection with Germany. Not a Ger
man book is to be found Not an ar
ticle of furniture, a clock, a piece OF
porcelain can be discovered of which
there is teh slightest belief that it was
made in the Germany of 100 years
ago. The only indication is in their
names, that strong badge of nation
atty. =.
The commonest names are TesEy
Corneille. Boveneiser, Nee, Leguer
Piper, Sparkling, Dope. Ruttle, Switzel
and Shire. Again, they are all Prot
estants, and largely Wesleyans. John
Wesley gave mission at Adare in the
year 1856. He does not give a favor
able account of the religious state Of
the Palatines when he arrived, for he
says they were eminent for drinking
cursing, swearing, and utter neglec'
of religion" He preached long Sc
ries Of sermons under tree nov

included in the Adare demesne, and
the Palatines embraced his peculiar
4..4. .-,:4L ,,7a, NEoo+ of +boro cti1J

included IN the AQar6 Qem6Sue, anu
the Palatines embraced his peculiar
tenets with ardor. Most of them still
profess his doctrines, and every year
a great Wesleyan gathering is held
under the Wesley Tree in Adare to
celebrate his pious lahors.
The Palatines have always married
among their own community, and
hence the heavy Germanic features of
the early settlers are preserved, and
any man who knows the county can
detect at a glance the Palatine from
an ordinary native. The soft Irish
climate has affected the appearance
of the women, and one can see great
er proportion of pretty faces among
the colonists who dwell by the banks
of the Maigue than among their breth-
rem whose lands are watered by the
Rhine.
Petted and protected as they were,
and still holding their lands on easy
terms, the Palatines are much better
off than the surrounding farmers, and
this is reflected in their dwellings.
They are peaceable and law-abiding
community.
There is a Palatine colony at Ballin-
crane, near Rathkeale. 1t consists OF
16 holdings, let at low agreeable rent,
with Lord Southwell as landlord.
These tenants have, as appurtenants
t other farms, a huge field or COM
homage of 260 acres, to which all are
! equally entitled. 1t was the practice
of those people to meet on every first
of May in the commonage field, and
there hold a colony meeting to deter
mine the stint or division of the COM
MONACO.
The Palatines live on terms of the
closest friendship with the people sur.
| rounding them. The Palatine is still a
stranger in a strange land. German in
descent and name, Protestant in reli-
gion, ultra-Tory in politics, he is dis
tinguished by many radical differen-
ces from the Celtic, Catholic, and Ma
tionalist community in the midst OF
which his homes are scattered. It is,
therefore, pleasant thing to know
that while faith and race prevent the
Irish and Palatines merging, they
dwell together in peace. Both races
freely associate on the most intimate
terms. If anything was wanted to aid
this fraternal feeling between the ma
tives and the Palatines it would be
found in the relations of the clergy OF
both. In Adare the two remarkable
men who minister in the Catholic and
Protestant churches represent those
feelings of federation and charity to
be expected from the Protestant sor
of Smith O'Brien, and from the ven
cradle Catholic Dean ]. S. Flanagan

J. C. Stubbs second vice president and traffic director of the Hartman system, who was over the E. P. & S W during the week in company with officials of that road is on trip of inspection of the entire Hartman system and will go to Portland at the northern end of the road when he has finished with the California di- visions. He left Fl Paso the other day as the guest of Superintendent Simmons of the Fl Paso & Southwest ern. travelling over that road for the purpose of inspecting the reduction plants at Douglas, and because he was out of Fl Paso on that line the papers immediately jumped to the conclusion that he was going to Can anea to meet the Greene party. which was due there at about the same time from Mexico. where Colonel Greene had his guests lately for the purpose of inspecting the new work which he has in contemplation in the vicinity of Terranzas. As a matter of fact, however, there was nothing to the report, and the railroad officials managed to side-step Cananea.
 J. c. Stubbs has been connected with the Southern Pacific for so many years that there is no use counting them, for they virtually date from the inception of the road, which was in 1868 or 1869, that is. speaking now of what was originally known as the Central Pacific and which has been merged in the gigantic Hartman sys- tenn, in company with the Union Pa oific, the o. R. & N.. and other roads
 MrStubbs was stationed in San Francisco for many years and belong ed to what was known as the Hunt ington crowd, being regarded by Col lis P. Huntington, who was in some ways was the greatest railroad man who ever lived. as the best freight traffic man in the world, bar none. And this reputation stuck to MT, Stubbs for when the ''old man" tsIunt- ington) died and the road was merged into the present organization, NIT. Hartman looked around for a man to fill the bill at Chicago. where certain of the offices had been moved from San Francisco, and decided that he could not get a better man than the Californian, and accordingly trans ferred him to the windy city.
 He started in at the measly pittance of SS5,o00 a year, but it is stated now that his merit was recognized some time ago., and that his boss, or bosses, have raised the figure to s55,000 an- nualIy, which means the highest sala- 'ry in the world for a traffic manager. Anyway he probably manages to eat three times day. and can afford night lunches if necessary.

The American Development 6 Pros pecting Co has decided to hold off the resumption of development work at it's Jerome property until the first of the month, when it expects to go 10 work in earnest. The decision to delay is due to the excessive rains that have been had this year in the Jerome district, the precipitation hay ing been considerably heavier than that here. As consequence the ground is soaked deep and all open workings have been put in condition that makes development in them more or less risky. When the weath- CT has dried things out some progress can be made to much better advant- age.
