MAN BEHIND THE TERMINAL.
He Has Il Lot of Things to Think

The human element in the man
railroad terminals is apt TO be far
more interesting than all the diverse
plannings of tracks and platforms
that go to make its physical side.
That there is a man to whom all
these myriad tracks and switches
are no labyrinth but as clear as the
fingers of his two hands, becomes
matter of keen interest. If the rail-
road terminal IL the city gate then
this man must be its Waterman. His
watch house is glass lined and sun
filled and stands at the busiest part
of the terminal yard, facing the
train shed of the terminal.
The authority of this man and
his assistants is absolute. Not one
of the trains standing there ready
to make the smart run off across
country, not even the arrogant limi-
teds. may move without his orders.
He stands, with his two or three as
sistants, before a long signal box
the "electro-pneumatic, they call
ii. and that signal box, the design
of genius, serves to bring the me-
chanical control of this great clum-
sy, crowded terminal yard down to
the finger touch of these men in the
signal tower.
Above the signal box there is a
map of the yard that is more than
a map. 1t shows, in miniature, all
that lie without and round about
the tower and it also shows the
switches and signals of the train
yard ~change. 1t brings the distant
cor of the terminal into closer
touch with the towermen. In fog or
binding storm. this track model"
is invaluabie-a veritable compass
set within the brain of the terminal.
Between the track model and
the almost human mechanism of the
signal box, with its levers so delicate

distant switches by the crooking of
a finger, the towermen operate the
terminal. There are regular sched-
ules bound in book form kept there,
but so well have the men commit
ted these to memory that schedules
rarely are consulted They are long
aud complicated, but they become as
much a part of the towerman's daily
life as the hours by which he regu-

THE BAND CONCERT.
Fully Three Thousand People Hear
Military Band.

1t is estimated that fully three
thousand people heard the concert
given by the Ninth Infantry band
at the Chautauqua park Tuesday
evening, and the attendance would
have been much larger had not the
elements assumed q threatening at
titude late in the afternoon. Peo-
pie began passing through the gates
as soon as they were opened at 5

falling the time was spent in inspect
ing the tented barracks of the SOL
diers A visit to the tents gave the
visitors an opportunity to see some
thing of the camp life of Uncle
Sans fighting men. On account of
the rain the exhibition drill was not
given but there was a muster drill
by each company in the regiment.
The band concert began at 8
o'clock and the music rendered was
thoroughly enjoyed by the large
crowd which filled the auditorium
to overlooking. There were eight
numbers on the program but several
extra selections were given by the
musicians

MI RpEREstS AND MAUDLIN
SENTIMENT.

There Is more maudlin sentiment
expressed over murderers in the
United States than in any other
country in the world.
There have been many coldbiood-
ed. deliberate murderers who have
been besieged by lot of light-head-
ed, mushy-minded women, and
whose cells have been decorated
with flowers till they looked like
conservatory, yet in neither their
lives, character nor The circumstan-
ces of their crime was there shred
on which to hang sentiment or sug-
gestion of pity.
There is an example of this char
acter of gush and sentiment in Hous-
ton just now. About three and a half
years ago negro waylaid and as
sassinated two humble but worthy
citizens of Harris county. These few
words state the whole crime. There
was no excuse, palliation, mitigation
or justification in any sense for the
act. The negro took offense at some
who were in a merry mood, and, cir
cling around ahead of them got a
gun and killed them both, shooting
them down as If they had been two
hogs What is written were the facts
revealed by the evidence when the
negro was defended by counsel of
his own selection. Twelve good citi-
zens. as jurors found the only YER
dict consistent with their oaths, and
the court of last resort approved it,
Thanks to the possibility of delay
bic whenever negro is involved and
no negro is on the jury, the eXecu-
ton of deserved punishment has
been put off for three years, and the
taxpayers of Harris county have
fattened a burly murderer who
ought to have been hanged within
sixty days from the time he butch
cred two innocent, defenseless men.
When delay is no longer possible,
and the gallows looms up near at
hand, a lot of people are talking
assassin who has been allowed three
years to prepare for death, whereas
he sent two of his fellow beings I'M
warned, unshriven and unprepared
into the presence of their Maker
Just few days ago the same
murderer attempted to kill Sheriff
Anderson, from whom he had re-
ceived nothing but the kindest treat
ment
1t is bad enough that a deliberate
butcher of his fellow men should
cheat the gallows for three years,
and there is certainly no excuse for
seeking mitigation of the punish
ment that he doubly deserves, or the
prolonging of life that should have
been snuffed out long ago-Hous-
ton Chronicle

Chronicle in denouncing and con-
demning the cultivation of maudlin
sentiment There is no good TO follow
its practice, even though the motive
which prompts it in some women, if
not in all women, may be proper and
pure. Woman's sphere is to purify by
her Influence and example, but she
is destroying that influence when
ever, because of foolish fancy and
maudlin sentiment she eXerts her eff
