RAILROAD EQUALIZATION.

No sooner has the two-cent-fare law
gone into effect in Nebraska than the
railroads retaliate by disseminating a
number of their passenger trains. They
have even gone so far as to compel
passengers from outside states to buy
fresh tickets and reCheck their baggage
at the Nebraska state line. 1t may be
that by deliberately mountaineering
their patrons the roads will succeed in
starting a popular reaction in their own
favor, but it looks like reckless ex-
periment.-New York World.

Band Plays at Dogs Funeral.

Funeral services for Peno, a sixteen
year-old st. Bernard. owned by John
SWensen, proprietor of the dry docks
at the foot of Warren street, Jersey
City, were held yesterday afternoon at
the plant, the employees being allowed a
half day off with pay to attend the
cerem onies.
Peno was the mother of Watt, who
ate some meat with poison in it sever
al days ago, and now lies in a coffin in
a marked grave near the dry docks.
Mr.. Swenson decided that Peno's
fafthfulness in life entitled her to all
possible respect in death. He directed
his ship carpenters to make a coffin,
and they turned out one of hardwood.
Mr.. Swenson laid out Peno's body in it
and Embedded his old friend in Port
land cement. Then he covered the cof-
I'm with flowers and notified his en-
ployes that the time for mourning had
begun.
The men quit work and gathered
around the coffin, where they proceed
ed to drink and smoke at the expense
of their bereaved employer band
played a dirge, and some of the men
wept real tears as Mr.. Swenson in a
dear old dog Peno. Peno's body in its
cement shroud was inferred in WATTS
grave.
Watts funeral is still a pleasant
memory to many of Mr.. Swenson's
men. He gave the force a half day off
and supplied them with refreshments
while they listened to a bible reading
and music by a band in honor of the
deg. Mr.. Swenson will erect a monu-
ment over the grave of Peno and Watt.

Venezuela Old Spain.

Venezuela is old Spain. the Spain of
Washington Irving eighty years ago.
She has as much beauty, her people
have the same Anda1usian charm,
and year for year since the time of
Columbus she can show as much ro-
nance. as intricate diplomacy, and as
primitive inns as existed beyond the
Pyrenees before guide books were
bound in red.
But the proper way to see Vene-
zuela is not through guide book,
supposing there were one, or to limit
ones days to a circular tour in which
everything is reckoned by the dollar;
the spirit of the land must be found
before it's genius can be understood.

The Siege of washington.


Not with armies, not with warships,
but with that which will buy both
money-the nations of Europe are pre-
pairing their forces for the capture of
Washington. In 1893 Great Britain
raised the rank of her envoy al Wash
ington from minister to ambassador.
France and Germany did likewise the
same year, Russia in 1885, Italy in 1901
and Hungary in 1892. Mexico,
Brazil and Japan followed the example
of the European powers.
Increased rank requires better hous-
ing, and foreign nations have spent
much since 1898 in buying and building
embassies at Washington for their rep
resentatives. Some of these are splen-
did enough to be worthy of ranking
with many Of Europe's palaces.
1t was then left for Great Britain to
discover that her ambassador ought to
be paid as much as the president of the
United States, and Mr.. Bryce is to re-
ceive $4,000 a year, Sc, 900 more than his
predecessor. AS in 1893 Germany fol-
lowed Britain's lead, so now her am
bassador's salary has been raised $4,000
Undoubtedly the representa- tives of 9TH
er nations have felt the pinch of pros
perity'' and would be glad to receive
an increase Of salary. The more money
the embassies and legations have to
spend the better it will be for the shop
keepers Of Washington. The diplo-
matte benefits are not so obvious.-New

Gholson, who was closer to

hand clasping a drill in the bucket

had all but left the body, but few

No outward signs of the injury
were visible, but a man hole yoke

the side of the body and this flying
iron is what in all probability
caused the death blow.
DeGroff was painfully injured

injuries apparently being con-
fined to the head and shoulders.
Assistance was at once sent
