tenant Brannick has command OF the
largest flock of correspondents ever
gathered under one Pullman roof and
the corridor of the car is becoming too
congested for African golf and other
Indoor sports in which correspondents
are wont to seek intellectual exercise OF
diversion.
1t is the present plan Of Lieutenant
Brannick to march the correspondents
In column OF fours to point of van

supposed to protect themselves In the
clinches and in the breakaways while
in Pittsburgh and the management will
not be responsible for any who are
beaned by hunks of coal. All coal
thrown at visiting correspondents auto
mat:cally becomes the property of the
correspondent beaned. The same applies

be taken from the city vaults and ex-
htbited on float guarded by members
of the Free Sitters and the Peruvian
Club. The stein has been mounted on

to the city in the brighter days of the
reign of Burgomeister Hermann.
Col Huston is still remembered in
Cincinnati as the maker Of useless gifts
He built a waterworks for Cincinnati and
the inmates of the place are still point
ing to it and exclaimng In their gut
tural patios, "Ach, Looie! Give look
once! Vas ISIS it?' There Is stand
ing prize for any native who can tell
what waterworks is good for. Nobody
has ever started to compete for the
prize.
