Earliest Railway Guides.

The first railroad guides were more
children's books compared with pres
ent-day productions. says the London
Globe. The first Bradshaw contained
six pages only. The date OF the origin
of Bradshaw is generally given as 1889.
and about that time there we're other
guides in existence which were no less
interesting, but which eventually died
out and passed into the limbo Of for
gotten things. One Of the earliest was
entitled ,Lacey's Railway companion
and Liverpool and Manchester Guide.
It was a very friendly production. de-
scribing the scenery through which
the railway passed. and pointing out
to the visitor At both places all that
10 interesting and necessary for busi-
noss and pleasure" It was published
1t Liverpool, and was on sale in Lon
don as we'll as in the northern towns
at the price Of ono shilling. Though
this old guide does not possess any
date, 1t contains advertisements for
the ANIMALS and almanacs for 1885.
which provides a clue as to the time
of it's origin, and shows it to be prob
ably the first railway guide ever pub
lished. AS there were only some
twelve trains starting daily, they did
not occupy much space. and the guide
was expanded to 76 pages by de-
scription Of the coast and construc-
ton of the line.

railway in the country and you will
find that the men who are giving or
ders are getting pay checks that looA
mighty small beside the checks ct
those who are bossed.'
'Take the trainmaster, for instance.
He gets title and $3.50 month or
50. He plunks down in his office and
tells the conductors how to run their
trains and the engineers how to take
the sidings and calls them down
when they make mistakes. And the
chances are that the engineer who Is
getting the orders makes 5000 a
month. He Ia being bossed by man
who gets $50 less for every 80 days
that he works The conductors check
may be as large or even larger than
the engine drivers.
Think Of leaning back in an easy
chair and telling man that you'll
give him $50 more than you get If he
works for you. Then, If he doesn't
suit you after he's been on tho road
for time, you call him in. take his
Job away from him, and give some ono
else the 5000 q month, while you
struggle along on the measly $3.50"
According to the trainmaster. half
the railroad "oficials" whose names
appear III big print on the time cards
are receiving less wages than those
whom they employ. The average chief
dispatcher, who does the major part
of the real work in operating . rail-
road, earns $500 and gets $176 q
month.
The division passenger agent, who
gives orders to the passenger conduc-
tors, arranges for special trains, acts
as buffer between the travelling pub
lie and the complaint department. and
who has other troubles, varied and nu-
merous, fnds his pay check amount
ing to $125, $3.50 or SITS.
There are exceptions, Of course. to
tho general rule Of low-paid officials.

A Romance Of War Tim -,

Shellman Heights, the most famous
colonial mansion In Georgia. which was
saved by Gen. w. T. Sherman when he
was marching thru Georgia, because he
loved Its mistress when he was a cadet,
burned the other day.
Mrs. William Shellman, misterss OF
the mansion. was Miss Cecolia Stovall
before marriage. and as a girl spent her
summers at West Point. She was rare
ly beautiful, and w. r. Sherman and J.
w. Hooker. who We're cadets at the
time. fell in love with her and tried to
marry her, but she rejected them for a
southern man.
During the war General Sherman and
General Hooker led their troops thru
this section of Georgia. Upon ap-
preaching Shellman Heights the sol
diers OF General Sherman started to
ransack the mansion. whereupon a
negro servant asked "Oh, Lord!

the only one who studied Kelvin &C.
riously.
ION what do you base that queer
prorhecyT' he wanted to know.
'"rm not ready to tell you just yet"
returned Phillip. smiling, "but it ia

II know why" put in Pellman. ono
Of the more reckless operators of tho
railroad group. "Its because our
young friend is on the short side Of
the market for all the real cash in tho
country. There must come panic"
They were quite content to laugh at
Kelvin. He was necessarily green"
being young and new to the street.
Rollins got Phillip to one side after
the dinner.
'T'm very curious about the slump
you predict" he said. II hope It's
true. want to buy some railroad
stock, and It can't 60 any too low to
suit me-"
Phillip looked at him in musing ID
lence. He liked Rollins, clean, well
set up man. with a clean life and an
honest one written all over him.
"You buy outright only. believe
Mr.. Rollins" he observed.
Outright only" replied Rollins.
'eThen wait. There will be some
bargains by and by" declared Phillip,
SO seriously that Rollins was I'M
pressed.
! Kelvin had been in the market more
than a month, steadily selling all that
time, when one evening In a private
dining room with almost the same
crowd Rollins found that he had no
cash and sent down check to the
manager with request that he send
up the currency. The manager him
self came up with the check in hand
and very much worried.

''but have not the currency in the
house. We have had no currency to
speak of for several days don't
know why 1t is, but there seems to be
a tremendous scarcity Of cash."
'What seems to be the matterT
II don't know, SIR" responded the
manager. "Trade was never better.
Our regular customers seem to have
plenty Of money, but no currency. I
don't believe have seen a thousand
dollars III cash Ii week, except what
I drew myself for our payroll here"
"That seems to be a general COM
plaint," remarked Pellman after the
manager had left the room. There Is
a scarcity of money everywhere. Yes
terday my check was refused at two
hotels. I don't understand it."
II can tell you," said Kelvin quietly.
'Within the past year nearly billion
dollars Of actual currency has been
entirely withdrawn from circulation"
They were slow to understand how
this could be.
IL have seen no mention Of such a
withdrawal" urged Pellman. "Where
and how has this amount of money
disappeared"
I'm bread" declared Kelvin. 1.-THE
one commodity in this country which

with disgust
It did not take long for the street to
know that thsre was a new "bear'' in
iuence at work. When on the first
morning some twenty stocks were sold
in 1000 share lots no attention was
paid. When. however, on the second
and third and fourth mornings the
days business was opened by tho oher
of 1000 shares of each of these stocks
the coincidence began to be noticed,
and when the same phenomenon oc-
Cured on the fifth and sixth and sew
enth mornings It began to be not CO.

floor was talking Of 1t.
The stocks had been disposed OF
without dinculty, though there was no
particular eagerness. for the market
was worse than sluggish. Now, how
ever, q certain "bulr' coter1e OF the
railroad crowd. scenting here delib-
crate attempt to force the market,
combined in q more or less aggressive
counter attack and within another
week did actually succeed in forcing
up the entire line some ten points.
This action. however, had no effect
upon Phillip Kelvin. Every morning
he sold the monotonous 1000 shares
of each Of the twenty stocks which
had been chosen for attack. On the
day that the bun movement had forced
stocks the highest Galleon remon-
stra ted
Look here, Mr.. Kelvin" said he;
'.you are bucking up against some Of
the biggest men on the street, group
Of half q dozen men, each Of whom
could probably swallow you whole in
financial way. If they get after
your scalp I'm afraid you are In for
losing q tremendous amount Of mon
ey."
"You have everything margined Hfty
pointsT
"Yss. But I have known this same
group to manipulate the market to q
seventy point RISE"
Young Kelvin was quite complacent
about It. '.They are doing me serv-
ice," said he. "The margins have
put up on the stocks previously bought
are ample. They are not going to
force prices far enough to make you
call for more margin, but II they do
the margin will be forthcoming. In
the meantime, however, they are en-
abling me to sell at a much higher
price. They are playing my own game
for me"
II presume you know your own b',si-
ness" returned Galleon dryly, but re-
member that have warned you"
"And remember that have warned

This was the fourth or fifth time
since he had first come into the Of

such dire predictions, and in spite Of
the fact that, except for the growing
scarcity Of actual currency, there was
no hint or trace Of trouble to come,
Henry Galleon began to be trine i'm

began speaking Of the matter to 9th
ers of his kind. In the Offices Of

Co., Of Booker & Watson and Of

Rensselaer,, there gradually radiated

In the meantime Kelvin steadily sold
his twenty stocks in 1000 share lots.
He became known as the "cash bear"
and there were 4 dozen conhicting stU-
ries as to how he had got his money.
Young Eldridge took a great fancy
to him and before he had been on
the market week had him in at Ker
ry's for dinner with & lot OF the big
guns of the market. It was discovered
that Kelvin distinctly knew how to
