California because Of better service, low
er rates and regular delivery. The COM
pany Is carrying on a campaign OF edu-
cation for the introduction OF American
goods by sending agents down into Cen
trail America, and is working with the
several railroads that come into New Or
leans to enlarge the trade.
The company prefers foreign ships, Mr.
Ellis says, because it costs SO per cent
less to build them, 35 per cent less to
operate them. and the wages OF the sea-
men are 33 per cent lower than those
paid on American ships under the Amer
lean flag.
The company has no mail contract with
the United States. but is paid by the
weight Of mail its steamers carry. and
has a revenue of about $4,000 from that
source. 1t also has a subsidy of $4,000 a
year from British Honduras.

Raises Cattle and Horses.

Upon the pastures of the banana trust
are grazing 1854 cattle. and 2.O9 mules
arc in service upon the different planta-
tons, besides 1881 horses
The largest plantations are i'm Costa.
Rica. where the company has 34.6l9 acres
in bananas. and in Panama where 1t has
21.13S acres.
The company has been compelled to
build it's own railroads in order to bring
the fruit to market. and its transportation
system is as follows:
Costa RIGA, l21.47 miles: Cuba, - 20;
Guatemala. 21.2l;' Jamaica. e.12: CO.
lombia. $50: Panama, 1888; Santo Do
mingo. 80; total, 4t9.SS miles.
This Is an increase of 1O4 miles during
the last year. While these railways were
intended primarily for the transportation
of fruit from the plantations owned by
the company to their docks at the neigh
boring seaports. they do a regular pas
senger and freight business, and are thus
not only aiding to fill up the country In
which they are located. but are a great
convenience to the people. They carry a
good many passengers. and their earnings
! from the public business go q long ways
toward their maintenance. The same may
be said Of the steamship lines under the
| management OF the company.
During the last year. after deducting
total net earnings Of the company we're

 Money has been during his entire pub lie career a rather delicate man physi- cally, and his eyesight, now completely gone, has been defective since his service in the army I never saw him reused in debate but twice, and on both occa- sions he vas superb, the first time tri- umphantly so. The republicans were be- wailing the enornsity of the south in not sending negroes to help them solonize for the American people. Without the slight est tinge of passion Money discussed the proposition. Always a student of litera- ture in general, he is particularly well acquainted with the history of American politics and now he showed from speeches by Conkling and others that it was never the intention of the republican party to confer suffrage on the negroes of the north, and that the fifteenth amendment was proposed, adopted and ratified as a political necessity. When he cited that Ohio had yet the word white" in the suffrage clause of the state constitution and il 1867 defeated an amendment elim- mating it by popular majority of more than 50000, the republican members from Ohio felt the sting of his lash. When he dug up some Ohio legislation adverse to this man and brother while R. B. Hayes was governor, and every Ohio republican sprang to his feet protesting that the governor of Ohio had no veto. Money as calm as May, retorted, What of that? I am talking about what Ohio did state speaks by it's legislature.
 If Money had been created a vain man he would easily have been a showy man. He never made public speech except from a sense of duty. I doubt if Con gross ever knew a member less avaricious of applause. About 20 years ago l was editor of a country weekly in Moneys district in Mississippi, and present in the convention that nominated him for the Forty-eighth Congress His speech of ac- ceptance was a conversation, but de- lightful and instructive political address.

From the New York American.
 Speaking of scientific care of babies, y said the slightly bald anti-theorist. the finest act of my otherwise more or less misspent life was saving that boy of mine.
 You'd hardly believe that such a strong, healthy, active kid was one of the puniest babies ever making father feel that it was not good taste to butt in with advice.
 That poor baby was a little bag Of bones, with wild eyes and a frantic yell. The only reason I had for thinking he might live was his lung power.
 His mother, his grandmother, a trained nurse and woman doctor worked over him early and late. And still he cried. We had to live in an isolated place to avoid annoying innocent people. The baby grew worse. He was slxinnier, yell lower, wilder louder and more frequent
 "One day I was deputized to mind the baby. He lifted his voice until it scared me. I tried to entertain him. I did vaude- vile stunts. I trotted him, rocked him, whistled for him. It was no use!
 My instructions" the somewhat frayed anti-theorist went on, specified a cer- tain hour when I should give him his bottle. The specific hour was not near, but, in despair. I gave him his scientific ally prepared baby food.
 '"rhe way the child reached for it gave me a twitch. He acted like a little half starved wolf He gulped his food down, caught his breath and howled again Wretch that I was, I refilled the bottle I thought I saw look of gratitude in the babys wild eyes.
 After that second bottle he went to sleep, and laughed as he slept. When the women folk came home their joy over the baby's sweet slumber turned into freezing horror when I confessed my crime.
 "They shrieked that unless the baby was

planter. He joined the Confederate army at the first call to arms and served gallantly until his eyesight failed in Sep tember, 1864. I think he held the rank of captain at the time. After the war he was the editor of a weekly paper at Wyn- ona, and in 1874 he was a delegate to the democratic convention to nominate a candidate for Congress, and of which body he was chosen secretary.
 It was in the days of reconstruction, and the bayonet was the scepter. The property owners were but the hewers of wood and drawers of water, so far as civil government went-for their former slaves of an inferior race, marshaled by a set of adventurous scoundrels from the north, vultures that preyed on deyastat- ed country. Taxation was literally con- fiscation. Nobody dreamed that the dem ocrats had the slightest chance to carry the election of 1874, and many of the older men insisted on drafting candi- date for Congress in Moneys district from the ranks of the younger men. Old Judge Jarnigan from Noxubee county, pro- posed "Our young secretary, Captain Money" and to the utter surprise Of the young man he was nominated by &C., claim. The time had come for the out ragged manhood of Mississippi to assert itself and so it did, and swept the state triumphantly.
 On the first Monday of December 1875, there convened at this capital for the first time since March 4, 1859, a House of Representatives with democratic ma jority, and pronounced majority it was. The regime that reconstructed the south had been weighed in the balance and found wanting, Stevens was dead, But Ter was defeated, Schenck. beaten at home, was in another political depart ment, Blaine surrendered the speakership to Kerr, Pig Iron Kelly gave way to Will liam R.

His Own Barber.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
 Two barbers were disengaged when the customer came in. Both got their chairs ready, but the newcomer lodged them.
 'I need a shave all right" he said to the proprietor, but I want to shave my self. Can you accommodate me here?"
 Certainly said the proprietor. but I'll charge you the same as if one of my men shaved you.'
 That's all right" said the man. I'm not kicking about the price. All I want is a chance to do my own barberng'
 A tonsorial outfit was speedily produced and the selfsufficient Individual went to work.
 Isn't that a new wrinkle?'' asked an- other man, who had been an interested observer of the proceedings.
 Mot at all, returned the proprietor. Every once in while we run up against a fellow who prefers to shave himself. but hasn't the apparatus handy. We keep a lot of extra razors il stock for the ac- commodation of just such independent customers.

ing is large and varied, and ever since his eyesight failed, loving voices have been instant to read to him any works his taste suggested. Senator Hoar took delight in discussing ancient history with him, and it is no eXaggeration to say that Money is better versed in the writ ings of Livy, Sallust, Caesar, Tacitus, and Plutarch than any of his fellows in either house of Congress. l doubt if any officer in our army is more familiar with the campaigns of Alexander the Great than he, and one of his favorite pastimes is to accompany Xenophon and the Ten Thousand on their immortal retreat
 When his term expires Senator Money will have attained three-score years and twelve. He has always been the perfect representation of a proud Virile, a sol der race. pure Anglo-Saxon mixed with pure Huguenot, holding principle above interest and honor above wealth.
