whose attitude toward the new superin-

he was losing ground by not opening the
campaign of severity at once.
You'll have to take a club to these
hoboes before you can ever hope to make
railroad men out of them,' was Gridley
oft-repeated assertion; and the fact that
the master mechanic was continually urg-
ing the warfare made Lidgerwood delay

Just why Gridley's counsel should have
produced such a contrary effect Lidger-
wood could not have explained. The ad-
vice was sound. and the man who gave
it was friendly and apparently insenu-
ous But prejudices, like .prepossessions,
are sometimes as strong as they are IN
applicable. and while Lidgerwood freely
accused himself of injustice toward the
master-mechanic. q certain feeling OF das-
trust and repulsiOn. dating back 10 ms

Oddly enough, on the other hand. there
was a prepossession. quite as unreason-
ing. for Hallock. There was absolutely
nothing in the chief clerk to inspire INK
ing, or even common business confidence:
on the contrary, while Hallock attended
to his duties and carried out his SUI
perior's instructions with the eXactness
of an autOmaton, his attitude was DIS
tinctly antagonistic. AS the chief SUD-
altern on Lidgerwood's small staff ne
was efficient and well nigh invaluable.
But as a man Lidgerwood felt that ne
might easily be regarded as an enemy
whose designs could never be fathomed

new BAGGAGE SYSTEM
PLANNED BY RAILWAYS
Scheme of Insurance Which Will
indemnify for Losses Incurred
by Travellers.

CHICAGO, October Woes Of that
part of the travelling public which &C.
casiona1ly loses its baggage soon will
be decreased, for the railroads are PLAN
ming to put into effect a system of
insuring baggage valued at not more
than 500 free of charge and for small
fee if worth more than 500.
This is one of the features Of set of
rules prepared here yesterday with view
toward uniform baggage regulations.
The joint committee which worked out
the rules will present them to all pas
senger associations for adoption.
Passenger to Declare Value.
In order to take advantage of the pro-
posed insurance the passenger will be
required to declare the value of his bag
gage before starting on his journey. In
the event Of value above 500 the pas
senger will be required to pay approx
mately 16 per cent Of the excess bag
gage rate.
In percentage the new rule will figure
out about 1.6 per cent of passenger
rates for every 500 of value declared.
Should the passenger carry. for example
81 600 worth of baggage an additional
charge of Is per cent Of the passenger
rate will be made.

LONDON BANK CLERKS.
Their Dress and Mode Of Living q Cen

Their Dress and Mode Of Living Cen
tury Ago.
A hundred years ago the number of
bank clerks In London must have been
lnconsiderable. The old banks needed
only small STATS. Quite late in the
eighteenth century one Of the biggest
conducted Its business with two clerks.
The engagement Of third created
great excitement His arrival was still
more exciting, for we are assured that
"he wore q long fapped coat with
large pockets; the sleeves had broad
cuffs, with three large buttons, some
what like the coats worn by Green
wich pensioners; an embroidered waist
coat reaching nearly down to his
knees, with an enormous bouquet In
the buttonhole; cooked hat, powdered
hair, with pigtail and bagwig, aud
gold headed cane" This, no doubt.
was something of peacock. even for
his time. A few years later, In the
early part Of the nineteenth century.
the correct official garb was knee
breeches, silk stockings. shoes with
silver buckles and often white tie.
One can scarcely imagine dress more
suggestive OF sober opulence.
But It does not seem that, according
to our ideas. the manner Of life was
quite in harmony with this impressive
appearance. Not for the bank clerk of
the early eighteen hundreds the i'm
maculately clean and elaborately fitted
restaurants of the modern city! Not
for him tea shops with varieties OF
harmless drinks and tempting light
food! II he wanted meal he went TO
the butcher and bought himself chop
or steak for tiyepence halfpenny or
sixpence. This he carried himself to
an adjacent public house, where they
cooked 1t for penny. The public
house, In fact. played no small part In
his life.
Is It not tradition that the clearing
house has grown from the meetings OF
clerks In tavern. where they met for
the purpose of settling ap accounts
