SALARY CUT RESTORED
Southern Railway Co. Employ ces
Made Happy by the News.
HIGH OFFICERS not INCLUDED
Company Had Expected Another Cut
Necessary July 1--Business Outlook
Warrants Return to Old Wages.

Washington, D. G. - All Southern
railroad employees with the exception
OF the president and vice presidents
OF the system, will have their salaries
restored to the figures which were in
effect previous to February l, on July
first.
This announcement was made in a
personal telegram from Washington to
]. S. B. Thompson, assistant to the
president of the Southern, at Atlanta,
by President Finley.
This is the second sign of returning
confidence which has been made ap-
parent on the part of the Southern.
The first was definite statement
from this system that the contemplate
ed reduction of 10 per cent in salaries
of its employees, set for July /, would
not be made. The second was that re-
ferred to in which it was stated that
the former 10 per cent cut was to be
restored on July /.
AS one of the employees expressed
1t This is like getting a 20 per
cent increase in nay salary. First, l
didn't get the 10 per cent cut l was
expecting, and | did get the 10 per
cent increase l wasn't expecting"
The official order from Washington
reads as follows: THE Southern rail
way announces that the resumption of
negotiations looking to reduction in
wages of employees of the Southern
railway outside Of Washington has
been postponed from July / until Oc-
tober l, next The 10 per cent reduc-
;tion in salaries of officials and en-
ployeeS of the road in the Offices in
Washington will cease to be applied
after July 1, next The reduction,
however, will continue as to the sala-
ries of the president and vice presi-
dents of the road

HOUSE or LITTLE NELL.
Where Dickens Conceived His Famous
Story-Place to Let.

Wnere Dickens Conceived HIS Famous
Story-Place to Let.
The announcement that the house
n Bath where In 1910 Charles Dickens
!. first conceived the idea of his immor-
tai Little Nell in THE Old Curiosity
Shop" Is to be s'let or sold" Is fact
Of considerable interest to ali Dick
ems lovers.
At the time that the novelist was
first attracted to his theme by the
sight Of poor little girl at Bath, he
and his wife, his (and Landor's) biog-
rapher, John Forster, and the paint
er Maclise were on a visit to Walter
Savage Lander in that fair city, and
the incident Is thus referred to in
FOrster's Life of Landor"::
1T was at celebration of his birth
day in the first of his Bath lodgings,
35 st. James's square, that the fancy
which took the form of Little Nell
in The Old Curiosity Shop first
dawned on the genius of its creator.
No character in prose fiction was a
greater favorite with Lander. He
thought that upon her Juliet might
for moment have turned her eyes
from Romeo, and that Desdemona
might have taken her hairbreadth es-
capes to heart, so interesting and pa
thetic did she seem to him; and when
some years later the circumstance
have named was recalled to him, he
broke into one of those whimsical
bursts of comical extravaganza out of
which arose the fancy Of Boythorn
With tremendous emphasis he con-
firmed the fact, and added that he
had never in his life regretted any
thing SO much as his having failed to
carry out an intention he had formed
concerning it; for he meant to have
purchased that house, 35 st. James's
square, and then and there to have
burned it to the ground, to the end
that no meaner association should ev-
er desecrate the birthday Of Nell.
Then he would pause a little, be-
come conscious of our sense of his
absurdity, and break into a thunder
ing peal of laughter"
4 nus, III Al0 SOuGWAdL
fashion, does John Forster tell the
story. 1t is certainly a great pity
that the novelist did not carry out his
expressed wish to purchase the house
in Bath; but at that time he did not
think he could afford it. 1t seems
Dickens had gone to America, mean
while, and was sojourning there when
Forsters Life of Lander" reached
him. In allusion to the fact that he
(Ddckens) had himself intended to
tell the story in "cold print he wrote
to John Forster from America: 81 see

would have called wonderful aceur-
acy, the little st. James's square sto-
ry which a certain faithless wretch

Counsel and client.

The ethics of the difference be-
tween the professional opinion Of a
! paid advocate and the honest con-
viction Of learned mar. were set
forth by well-known English bar
rister who died recently. 1t was a
case of murder, and the client and
counsel were closeted together.
Smith" said the barrister, "of course,
! know you didn't murder the man,
but, as a matter of fact, did you do it
with the butt end of a revolver or
with a stick" Sir said Smith,
I swear am innocent" IL know
that perfectly well, but you must
tell me. For If you did it with a
revolver, ] shall say to the prosecu-
tion, produce the stick!' and il you
did It with stick, / shall say, pro
duce the revolvern" The client
paused and scratched his head med;-
tatively. ut was the butt end OF
revolver, SIR That's right" said
the counsel; Il think can get you

AMERICANS ARE ATTACKED.
Circulars Being Issued in Philippines
Are Very Bitter.

Manila, P. Am inflammatory anti
American circular has been issued
here anonymously and distributed. It
bears the cabalistic signs of the old
kaupunan society and denoances the
Americans, saying they have brought
tyranny instead of liberty and that
their purpose is to rob and enslave
the Filipinos. 1t calls them shameless.
dishonest, drunken thieves, attacks
the morality of American women and
accuses the government of graft.
Pending open revolution. It urges a
campaign involving the assassination
OF invading Americans, burning their
homes and killing their animals. 1t
concludes with the wish for 'long
life to the Filipinos'' and death to the
Americans"
It Is doubtful il the circular will be
productive OF any serious results.
