NEW TYPE OF STATION AGENT
Big Eastern Railroad Line Is TrylRa Plan of According to Him
 Enlarged Powers.

The St. Louis and San Francisco is working out an interesting plan for enlarging the authority and responsi- bility of its station agents. The plan is based on the idea that this class of employees can be trained to do more useful work for the railway, while at the same time improving their own condition and opportunities for sd- vancement. by making them the rep matters regarding which they may show themselves capable of acting for 1t.
 At most railway stations the agent Is the only resident representative of the company. and for that reason he frequently becomes charged with re- responsibilities beyond his power to act. It is the belief of the management of the Frisco, says the Railway Age Ga zette, that by making him in larger sense a business man. with broad au- thority, in accordance with the prac- tice of large business institutions in other lines. good agent will be found capable of handling many mat ters that now require the attention of a superior office or special represen- tative.
 The first part of the plan was put into effect last year, after the Frisco adopted the plan of transferring to the operating department the function of making settlements of claims. On August 1 the agents at all stations were authorized to pay from station funds claims for visible loss and dam age in the case of both carload and less than carload freight. with cer- tain exceptions. and within the limit of $50 for any one claim. This fea- ture of the plan Is no longer an ex- pertinent, but has so demonstrated it's practicability and advantages that 1t is now regarded as a permanent ar- rangement, and at a recent conference of the heads of departments 1t was de- cided to extend its scope.

PRINTING ONCE IN DISFAVoR
Followers of the Art Have Been Known to Expiate Their Grimes"
 on the GaIIoWs.

On the 18th of July, 1860, Martin Lhomme, one of two who were hanged in the Place Maubert by the decree of the parliament, suffered because he had published a writing entitled "Epistre envoyee au tigre de la France" GA letter directed against the Tiger of France), a satire directed against the cardinal of Lorraine, then all powerful, which had probably been imprinted at Basic in Switzerland, or Strasburg, Germany. The culprit, ac- cording to the historian De Thou, was a poor little bookseller, a native of Rouen. While he was waiting at the gibbet, says Charles Winslow Hall in tn National Magazine, one of his fel- low countrymen. coming into Paris on business, saw him on his way and recognized him. Then ,ays Regnier de la Planche, mot knowing why he was condemned to death, he alighted from his horse at a neighboring hos telry, and, seeing the people very algry against the unfortunate man, cried to them, "Eh, what, my friends, 10 it not enough that he dies? Leave him to the executioner. Would you like to torment him more than his sen tence demands?' They considered the Norman's pity misplaced. He was forthwith arrested. judged and hanged four cays later without any form of process in the same fatal Place Mau. bert"

Largest Station In Germany.

The largest railroad station in Ger. many has just been completed at Leip. zig at cost of $34.OOO.0OO. Hereto fore the central station at Frankfort has held the record for size. The new building at Leipzig has been in course of construction for the last nine years. The immense cost does not so much represent an outlay for ornamentation and decoration as it does the enormous size of the struc- ture, which has almost unlimited space for the accommodation of freight and passenger trafic.

MINING LAWS AS
 WRITTEN ARE OBSOLETE
Vrom Wednesdays Daily.)

Proposed amendments of the well. established laws relating to metallifer. ous minerals always raise the warm. est discussion. With the opinion of mining men in general favoring re. vision of mining laws of the Tinted States and with commission after commission appointed by various bodies to suggest improvements, the statutes have remained practically unchanged for nearly forty years. while the geology of ore deposits and the technology of metal mining have made marvellous progress.
 Most important. perhaps, in any amended mining law would be provi. sion for enforced development, n principle expressed. it Is true, in the present law hut not made effective in it's workings. A requirement of actual use as condition of occupancy of mineral land cnn not be regarded as either novel or radical. As regards the large acreage of undeveloped land in many mining camps to which pat. ent has already been issued, it is perhaps true that the situation is without relief, unless the western Australia plan is adopted, whereby the government steps in and permits mining under lease, the proceeds of which are assessed, collected, and paid over to the owner. The principle in- voked seems to be that no property owner can rightfully oppose the de- velopment of the resources of the state.
 In the ease of uDpatenttd claims a remedy should be sought for what has been termed "the paralysis of mining and the rigid requirement of annual assessment work should be made actual and effective by inspee- tion and supervision, in order to put an end to the present procedure Of allowing a claim to lie idle for prae' tically two years after it's location, not to mention the many localities where claims are held year after year with only perfunctory compli- anee or even without any perform anee of assessment w0rk--a type of local disregard for law that is in contrast 10 the observation accorded to the district customs and regulations of earlier days, whereby the right of possession was made ab- dependent upon continuous operation.

 How much Ramos and his partner have sold is uncertain. It is under. stood that for months Mexicans have been getting fancy dress goods and wearing apparel from them at what the big department store, adwriters would term Sweeping reductions in prices" The pair competed success fully with mill-end, removal, stock, taking. invoice, money raising, stock reducing and ctosing.o out sales.
 No matter how much Ramos and his friend sold they had enohgh left to stock fair-sixed store. They must have taken it from stores and from box ears. In fact, Ramos became eniangled with the law by getting caught in the act of robbing a barcar.
 Day before yesterday Manager ]. R. Gillespie of the Constable Cold Storage company saw Ramos inside boS'ear, trying to break into case of merchandise. Ramos was captured but it is now suspected that all the time his partner was in the car, al' though he was not seen.
 When Ramos appeared in court he told < plausible story and Senor Bravo, the Mexican consul, inter eeded for him. Constable Murphy remembered, however, of having seen hamos' partner with brand new Stetson hat.
