Fiercer soul than Eat Jacks"
never dwelt in human bosom. Not tall,
but burly, he had lungs like black

mouth drawn down and set. So far as
he had a profession, he was pugilist;
he was terrific "bouncer' in low sa-
loon, when he got occasional employ
ment. For the rest-why ask? What

McManus was deputy leader Of the

but in gangdom, as elsewhere, brains
count, and discipline is severe. The
gang was, and is now more than ever, at

A sojourner in the south nowadays
finds the people chiefly interested in
two things outside of their intimate
personal affairs. Some of the people
are intensely interested in one OF
these subjects and some in the other.
A good many, indeed, are interested in
both. One subject is the provision of
increased and improved means of edu.
cation for children, particularly white
children, and the other the settlement
of vacant or half occupied lands with
white people and the development OF
the sections industries. The two sub.
iects hang together.

Philadelphia Ledger, the dean of the
correspondents corps, and who has
been engaged in Washington newspa-
per work for generation, has been
selected as the head of the bureau Of
manufactures in the department of
commerce and labor. The selection was
made by the president himself.
Maj. Carson is known all the coun-
try over by his initials u. M. Co.
which have been appended to his dis
patches and letters in the Philadelphia
Ledger for nearly 80 years. He has
tariff and finance, and he has done
notable newspaper work on all the
great questions and issues that have
arisen in the capital city since the
'70s. BY popular consent he has been
breveted Major" although he has
strenuously endeavored to keep his
title to that which legitimately belongs
to him. He never was major in the
army, but rose from the rank of Sec
ond lieutenant to that of senior cap
tain in his regiment during three
years service in the civil war. He has
splendid military record, and one
that his friends insist should have
given him the title of major; so they
have supplied that rank, and he has
been known as Maj. Carson for quar-
ter of a century. 1t is only surprising
that he is not general" as no place
in the world are titles so easily at
tanned and promotions so quickly made
by popular favor as in this city.
