WHEN MARK TWAIN WAS LEFT.
The First and Probably Last Time In
 His Life.

Recently some one in Missouri has sent me a picture of the house was born in. Heretofore have always stated that 1t was palace, but I shall be more guarded now. remem- ber only one circumstance connected with my life in it. I remember it very we'll, though I was but 2h years old at the time. The family packed up everything and started in wagons for Hannibal, on the Mississippi. 30 miles away. Toward night, when they camped and counted up the children, one was missing. I had been left be- hind. Parents ought always to count the children before they start. I was having good time playing by myself until found that the doors were fas- tened and that there was a grisly deep silence breeding over the place. knew, then, that the family were gone and that they had forgotten me. I was we'll frightened and made all the noise could. but no one was near and 1t did no good. spent the after. noon in captivity and was not rescued until the gloaming had fallen and the place was alive with ghosts.-From Mark Twain's Autobiography in the North American Review.

RESIGNATION IS IN.
Officer McEvoy Turned Over His Re.
 galia to Beach To-day.

Edward J. McEvoy, for the past five years a'member of the police de- partment. rendered his resignation to Superintendent Beach this morning
 He will enter the employ of the He'll mann Brewing Co next Monday. Tie superintendent said he is sorry to lose Mir McEvoy, but that if the change is for the better he will be glad of it. The officer. he said, was thoroughly reliable and in the natural course of events would in tune receive something better than an ordinary police officer. This may be true. but you never can tell much about such things. A policeman who does his work we'll is bound to have enemies by the score and when the time comes when promotions are in order the officer who manages to wink at his duty is more likely to have friends than the one that makes it a point to be onto his job all the time, regardless of consequences.

 Works WILL EMPLOY MANY Fifty Acres of Land With a Fine Water Front Has Been Secured-- Will Be Ready For Business
 Next January.
WILL EMPLOY MANY

Boston, March 30.-A cotton mill in which between 4,0O0 and 5000 hands will be employed and which will require over $4,O00,O00 capital is planned for East Boston.

 Fifty acres of land with a water front have been secured by the pro- moters.

FIELD GUNS TELL Revolutionary Peasants Cannot
 Stand Up Against the
 Grape Shot SOME SURRENDERED

Bucharest, Rumania, March 30.- Field guns loaded with grape shot, according to the official reports, are winning against the revolutionary peasantry, whose arms are mostly hay forks and scythe blades. The in- surgents were able to hold their own against the troops at close quarters and even withstood cavalry charges, doing terrible execution with long pronged forks and schyte blades strapepd to long poles, but the slaughter since the troops used artil- lery appears to be terrifying them into submission. In the district of Vlashica, where the outbreak was particularly serious, large numbers of insurgents have surrendered and have denounced their leaders to the au- thorities with the result that many of the latter have been arrested. The government hopes that with the lead CTS in jail the undisciplined bands will soon abandon the field.
 The self-styled generals" usually turn out to be country schoolmasters and village priests. Numbers of women are fighting in the insurgent ranks and many of them have been found among the killed, side by side with their husbands, sons and broth CTS.
 Details of the attack made by the peasants on GalatZ show that real pitched battle was fought. The in- surgents, who were several thousand strong, began the assault at mid night, carried the outer works by storm and captured a suburb, which they set on fire, after pillaging it. Three battalions of infantry attempt ed to stem the peasants entry into the city itself, but the fork and schyte armed rustics fought desperately hand to hand and had almost routed the troops when the governor ordered field guns, loaded with graps shot, to be fired at the insurgents who way cred and then fled. The fire of the guns wrought great havoc on the re- treating masses.
 A number of conflicts between troops and marauders continue to be reported. Two thousand insurgents at Gorj are said to have been quieted by the assurances of the authorities without resort to force. A hundred and fifty more rioters have been wounded at Baileschtchi and several of them have since died and many have been arrested.
 Artillery was used at Cucuesti, Valoelele and elsewhere and in some instances whole villages are said to have been utterly destroyed by the fire of nine inch shells.

HARTMAN sNEERs.
Says He Does Not Consider Decision
 of Any Conseuuence,

New York, March 3O.-E. H. Har- riman, in speaking of the Southern Pacific dividend suit filed in Chicago, is quoted as saying:
 .'I do not regard it as of any sig nificance whatever"
 Alexander Millar. secretary of the Union and Southern Pacific lines, said:
 "While we have not received the papers in this case. we understood holders of the second mortgage bonds of the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio Railway Co of Texas, which is controlled by the Southern Pacific Co, intended to begin proceedings"
 In view of the fact that the semi annual dividend payment of 21s per cent Is due on Monday on the com mon stock of the Southern Pacific, Mr Millar was asked whether there was any likelihood of the payment being held up Mo-" he replied, .'this proceeding will not affect the April dividend. as the courts have de- cided the hearing on the matter will not be held until May"
 General Thomas H. Hubbard said he regretted the suit had been an nounced just at this time.
 '.I expected the papers would have been filed at least three weeks ago." he added.
 Tt is unfortunate that the suit was begun at this time. I hope no inn pression will go abroad that the pro ceeding is aimed at MT Hartman. I have been negotiating with the southern Pacific management for the last two years in an endeavor to per- suade them to pay interest on our bonds. Our position may be summed up in these few. words: We believe the present management of the Southern Pacific, while apparently willing to pay dividends on its stock issues. refuses to pay its just debts in withholding interest on its bonds. l"

tnat it will do so.
If the local office becomes first

would be considerably increased, and
the salaries of the carriers and clerks
would probably be raised also. Mr..
Tice said yesterday hat the receipts
for the past nine months have ex-
ceeded $40, 900, and as the money re-
ceived during the past quarter
amounted to $12161.SO, which was
