senator Newland's Panacea.

Senator Francis G.. Newlands from
Nevada. explains in the North Ameri-
can Review. the salient points of the
resolution which he recently introduc-
ed into the United States senate with
a view to the settlement of the trans
portation question. The senator would
require that all railroads engaged in
interstate commerce should incorpor-
ate under a national law; that all such
railroads should be valued by the in
terstate commerce commission. and
that their capitalization should not ex-
ceed the value thus declared that the
interstate commerce commission should
revise all rates so that an annual in
come of not less than { per cent should
be yielded on the valuation. that rail-
road property should be exempt from
ali taxes. except a tax on gross re-
ceipts. which should begin at per
cent and increase at the rate of one
fifth of per cent each year until il
reached the maximum of per cent:
that a pension fund should be created
for employees disqualified, either by in
jury or by age from active service:
and that all disputes between the rail.

dispute has arisen as To the origin
of the title Easy Boss" applied to Sen
ator Plat. The phrase was originated
by Senator Plat and was first pub
lished in the New York Evening Sun
in January. 1895. Mayor Strong had
been in office a few days, and had re-
fused to take orders from Rev. Dr.
Charles II. Parkhurst. The doctor
gave out long statement. in which
he said that Boss Plat" was running
the city government When asked by
a reporter TO reply to the Parkhurst
statement. Senator Plat chuckled and
said: Il am an easy boss if | am boss.
I do not say 10 this man. You must
come or 10 that man. You shall go 80
The interview with the senator was
published under the headline II am an
Easy Boss. Says Plat That origin
ated the title of Easy Boss.

of them nor cause assigned for their

A singular case of this kind which oc-
Cured in Detroit Mich, is now being
given renewed publicity. The man s
name who disappeared was Charles H.
Smith He was one of the leading bus
mess men Of Detroit. and a partner of
the late Gov. Pingree. In May, 1890,
he mysteriously disapp cared. His wild

him declared legally dead and came in
TO possession Of his estate. valued at
100000. 1t now appears that Smith
became involved in financial Difficult
ties and went TO New York. His in
tense pride led him for - years TO re-
main hidden from his wife. children
and friends. One of his old acquaint-
ances found him by accident in the
metropolis, and unknown 10 anyone
else. sent him regularly a small fund
which was sufficient to keep him from

appears that I'm the scrimmage referred
to. Burke put his foot against door TO
hold Il and that he broke out panel.
Last evening he was arrested on the
charge of defacing a building belonging
TO Michael Connelley, and causing dam
age 20 the extent OF 81.
Capt Rowe had the warrant served
but had he known OF Burke's contemplat-
ed marriage this morning, he would have
held back the complaint until next Mon
day. at least.
Michael wore an anxious look when he
was brought before Judge Rueckert this
morning.
what he wanted was TO get away ms
quickly as possible for the wedding was
TO come or at 10 o'clock
IL did not take him many seconds TO
plead guilty. and when a fine OF so and
costs was imposed. he dug down into his
pocket. hshed out sl2.eo, seized his hat
and made record sprint TO Miss Fureys
residence
There he met his to-be bride and two
witnesses who were anxiously awaiting
him.
The quartet FASTENED 10 St Marys
rectory, and an hour later than the
scheduled time, Rev. Father Powers
made Michael and Winnifred one.
The wedding feast was sorved at the
brides home and amidst congra tulations
OF friends. Michael forgot his temporary
detention, and the rapid fight OF his

And for this reason.
Michael was very much behind stone
walls and decidedly up against iron bars.
AS a matter Of fact the young man
was in duress at the Sixth police station
until the maria brought him TO the Cen
tral station.
What worried Michael was that he had
a very important engagement 20 keep.
II was at the rectory OF st. Mary s
church on Broadway. where he was to
go with Miss Winnifred Furey and there
plight his troth.
How could Love laugh at the lock on
his cell door? How could Cupid bring
him consolation?
Michael was calling at a house In the
Olneyville district Christmas night, the
hosts being OF the Sullivan family.
In the company were two young men,
sons of Bridget Rafferty,.
Mrs. Rafferty, desired that her boys
should come home and calling upon the
Sullivans made known her wish.
There was a little miX-up I'm which II
was claimed that she struck Michael

She was arraigned In the Sixth district

SALARIES

New York. Dec. 3o.-Among the cats in
salary AT the Mutual Life company which
have been made, but not previously an
nounced says the Tribune. are those OF
Robert a. Granniss and DIR. Walter r
Gilett vice presidents.
Until recently Mr.. Granniss drew s50c1

At the demand OF the Truesdale com
mittee, each has had his salary cut $4,000
n year.
The designations OF Mr.. Granniss and DR..
Gillett from tho Mutual board have been
rumored from time TO time.
The cut I'm their salaries is taken as
an indication that they will hold their
places, although the Truesdale committee
has announced that a cut in salaries docs
not preclude the acceptance OF resigna-
tion IL such action should be later con-
sdered advisable.
