1t IS forty miles to Agra, twenty of
them over rough country tracks As
we leave the town we pass a small
temple where a Brahman priest is
washing himself in the sun He is an
old man and the last left to look after
the temple, which he will not shut up
or desert, be the plague or famine ever
SO bad. We say few words to him
and leave small present for the tenn
pie and begin to traverse the dreary
track that lies ahead. During the con-
versation three of the great pillars of
hot air and dust have amalgamated.
An Indian dust storm is upon US Sud
denly the sky grows dark. How the
hot wind roars over the parched plain!
The sun Is obscured by a dense haze
of heat and dust. Darker and darker
grows the sky, while a mighty wind
seems to snatch the very ground from
under ones feet. until all is lost In
very hurricane of hot, binding, chok-
ing dust that hides the desolate scene
around, blotting out both the drzary
track on which we are travelling and
the last grim horrors of Jaganir.-1,on-
don Globe.

American political orators are often
charged with being unduly harsh to
the other side. The following extract
from a speech of the late Earl OF
Shaftesbury, published in his memoirs,
shows that If our stump speakers ex-
hihit harshness they come honestly by
If The noble earl thus described and
prophesied: when Gladstone runs
down a steep place, his immense ma
iority. like the pigs in Scripture, but
hoping for better issue, will go with
him, roaring in grunts Of exultation."

Rislss In railway Journeys.

The IDEA that the man who goes on
railway journey takes his life in his
hand and is rather more likely than
not to meet with an untimely death at
the first curve the train negotiates is
scarcely borne out by the fact that the
chances against any one passenger
meeting his death on the railway are
36.0OO,000 to l. This immunity from
disaster rejects considerable credit
upon the companies, but still more upon
engine drivers and signalmen, whose
skill and care are the main factors in
the safety of the passenger.-London

City of Chicago Claims Lien on Amount

President.

Chicago, Nov. 15.-Robert T. Lincoln
was reelected president of the Pullman
company at the annual meeting yes
terday, despite the persistent report
that he would be succeeded by John S.
RunnelIs, and the stockholders voted to
cut a $4,000. 900 melon the pieces of
which will be distributed to those who
are on record as owning Pullman stock
| the last day of the present month. The
distribution viii be in the form of 4
stock dividend of sc per cent.
Wants Part of IL.
Corporation Counsel Lewis threw
something like a wet blanket on these
happy proceedings by sending to the
meeting a communication to the effect
that the surplus out of which this
"melon" is TO be cut is subject to the
lien of the city and county for taxes.
This pronunciamento was backed up by
the warning that Colonel Lewis had a
complete list of Pullman stockholders
and that he would proceed against
them individually for each sharehold-
er's proportion of the taxes, unless the |

Last Melon Cut in 1890.
The meeting was far the most impor- !
tant annual gathering the Pullman
stockholders have had since the last
time they cut a melon and bought out
and absorbed the Wagner Palace Car
company, in 1890 1t was attended by
about all the dignified financial person
ages that grace the Pullman director
ate and by considerably more than the
usual number of lesser lights who like
to flicker around the great luminaries.
Lowden Not on Hand.
One prominent Chicagoan whose
name is linked with that of Pullman,
but who did not attend the meeting. is
Frank o. Lowden. Supposedly for po-
litical reasons Mr.. Lowden has sold
his personal holdings in the Pullman
and was not reelected a direc-
tor. He is understood to have dispos-
ed of a large part of his holdings in
other companies for similar reasons. {
He was succeeded in the Pullman
board by Charles S. Sweet, Mr.. Lin
