One of the features of American
railroading which has caused the
most comment among the foreign
ers attending the international
Railway Congress in Washington
has been the number of prominent
railway men who have risen to
positions of trust and RESPONSE
bility after having started at the
very foot of the ladder Such Il
thing is. they claim. almost UNI
known in European countries as a
man starting life as freight brake
man rising to the position of gen
eral manager or president of a great
railroad, and yet there are numer-
Gus instances of this kind among
the American delegates to this Con
gress. Some of the Europeans
maintain that it is because of the
ambition among ali employees which
such examples and possibilities en-
gender that the American roads
are able to pay higher wages. but
others claim that these very
ambitions may account in part for
the greater loss of life on American
railroads on the ground that am
bilious employees are liable to over
work themselves and some of them
are prone to dream of the higher
places to which they would rise,
rather than confne their minds to
the duties of the hour.

Tell Tale Letters.

Because he carefully left bis bathrob',
containing two letters, in a hotel bath
room in Buffalo last March, where they
we're found and inspected by his wife,
Coroner DR.. Samuel Mutt, of Queens
Borough. with fashionable practice in
that borough and ia Brooklyn, yfster-
day faced iu Justice Smiths part OF the
Supreme Court, Brooklyn, an aPplica-
ron by his wife, Rita l.. Mutt, for a
separation, $3.50 counsel fee and 500 a
month alimony.
The Mutt household, according to tes-
timony heard yesterday, was harmonious
until the family went to Buffalo on a
pleasure trip last March. While stop
ping at the Iroquois Hotel the incident
occurred of the forgotten bathrobe, the
letters and the discovery by his wife.
One of the letters was not in an envelope,
and was written in feminine hand.
The other was said by Mrs. Mutt to
have been penned by her husband.
The letter in feminine hand follows:
"Dearest-I wish you we're here this
verv minute, so that | could put my arms
around your neck and make you feel
happier. Oh, dearie, have just cried
my eyes out since got your letter this
morning. ! know | told you to write me
when you have the blues and were un-
happy, but it has made me cry.
81 do so want you to know that love
YOU with all the love have, and ! do
not see why you should think anything
else,
"You must not think an going to
get tired of you. ! cannot see you half
as much as | want to. ! want you and
no one else. / would rather jump into
the river than deceive you."
Mrs. Mutt also charged her husband
with riding in carriages with GONZALES
cent women patients. He made no OBJ
lection to the granting Of a separation,
but resisted the payment of counsel fee
and alimOny on the ground that the
amounts named by Mrs. Mutt are ex-
ce:sive. Justice Smith reserved decision.
