Saved by a Scratch

An orator who was equal to mn
emergency was the late George A.
Sheridan, noted "spellbinder," often
engaged by the republican national
committee. At big meeting he was
addressing In town near New York
he was introduced by Mr.. O'Brien,
the chairman, In most flattering terms.
In order to reciprocate, Mr., Sheridan
paid a glowing tribute to the sterling
qualities of the chairman and wound
up the enlogy by asserting that no
man could say Mr.. O'Brien owed him
cent.
"He owes ne $3!" came a keen
Celtic voice from the rear Of the audi
ence.
It was almost solar plexus blow
for the orator, and the audience start.
ed to laugh and jeer. Rallying, the
speaker said: Il will answer that
man presently His assertion was
to gain time, and, II possible, nave
the audience forget the incident, but
again that penetrating voice cried
out:
"He owes me So cold cash"
Advancing to the edge OF the plat.
form, General Sheridan, In a conflden'
tial tone, said. Eyes, know all about
the SO. for my friend, Mr., O'Brien, has

Now. this man is going around saying

A roar of laughter filled the hall and
the indignant man tried to answer
the orator. He was howled down, the
chairman whispered In Sheridans
ear; "You have saved me-you are
a genius. us."--Leslie's Weekly.

ONE OBJECTOR
To RA|LROAD'S
NEW PETITION

The city council committee on railroads
gave a hearing late yesterday afternoon
on the petition OF the Rhode Island com
pany 10 extend its tracks on certain
streets and for the double tracking OF
others
The committee had some trouble in
scraping together a quorum, and in the
absence of Chairman j. William Moore
the committee elected Henry @. II. Raw
son temporary chairman.
Robert Pettis. who owns property at
the corner OF Gladstone avenue and
Smith street, objected TO the company S
double tracking Smith street from Chalk
stone avenue 10 Francis street.
According TO the plans, the company In
tends To leave the present tracks where
they are and lay the others on the north
erly side This would leave only four feet
OF space between the track and the curb
ing
General Manager Potter of the Rhode
Island company told OF the advantages OF
the double tracks He said that from $50
TO $50 in the evening the traffic demand
ed many additional cars and with single
tracks this was not possible.
ON account OF the objection IT was de-
cided TO hold the matter under advise
ment
Mr.. Potter said that the double-track-
ing on Broadway and Atwelrs avenue
was desired by people along that line, as
waiting switches would then be abandon
ed. He explained that the extentions on
Thurbers avenue and Prairie avenue
were for the purpose of allowing access
to the car sheds.
The committee decided 10 report favora-
bly, on all the plans to which there were
no objections.

At the beginning OF the session Mr. Per-
kins presented a telegraphic petition from
Governor Pardee OF California for the
payment OF the claims OF that state
against the government TO rthe settle

text OF the petition was as follows:
"Wil congress. I'm California's great
need, pass our per cent. public lands

100000; also our Indian war claims.

pered unless congress can see It's way
clear to pass these claims. the justness
OF which has never been seriously ques-
toned. We are under great obliga-
tion TO congress already, but we venture
10 ask for this further aid"
The petition was referred TO the COM
mittee on claims.
Mr.. Lodge then reported from the COM
mittee on foreign relations and the senate
passed the house Joint resolution extend
ing the thanks Of congress TO General
Horace Porter for his services in recover

of the government guaranteeing bonds to

INTERESTED IN AGRARIAN MAT
TIERS.
M. Goremkin is greatly interested In
agrarian subjects, and in April. 1906, En-
peror Nicholas appointed him chairman OF
the special commission formed In an en-
deavor to stop the agrarian movement,
which was causing considerable disturb
ances in the Caucuses. M. Goremkin
worked industriously with the commits
sion.
But the question was so vast that up to
the present no definite report has been
made by the commission, although IL was
rumored In October 1905 that a measure
had been drafted providing for the dis
tribution OF state lands to the peasants
on easy terms. For the last two months
NJ. Goremkin has been mentioned several
times as likely TO succeed Count Witte as
premier.

made to the measure was one authorizing
the establishment OF general depot for

purpose
