ON THE CITY EDITOR.
The Old-Time Puff Suppressed- How
Grasping Monopolies Must Be
Handled Hereafter.
From the Chicago Mail.
The railroad reporter had just come in
and laid upon the city editor’s desk the re
sult of his day’s work. The city editor
asked the railroad reporter to lie seated, and
taking the manuscript page by page, he
commented upon the copy as follows:
“Jones, I see you speak of O. W. Ruggles,
Esq., as being the amiable and accomplished
general passenger agent of the Michigan
Central railroad, and say that he has just
issued another of his elegant brochures for
trimmer tourists. Did I ask you to run
rround town looking for brochures when 1
hired you to do the railroad work for this
.ra'neri Are vou paid for calling tho atten
ffifof the public to the fact that Mr O
W Ruggles is amiable and accomplished?
I guess not. Not. if I understand the policy
of this paper. Had you kept posted m your
business and observed the workings of the
interstate commerce bill you would have
written this item thus:
•“Q \V Kuirgles, who rails nunsclf tho
general passenger and ticket agent of the
Michigan Central rail mail (although that
road hasn’t had any passengers and hasn’t
sold any tickets since April 1), has just issued
another of his screeds about summer travel.
The road will need the money which Rue
eles is spending so recklessly and foolishly
[o assist in meeting its 1 per cent, dividends
next month. Our advice to Ruggles is to
let literature alone and look after the wheezy
locomotives on his passenger trains before
thev break down with chronic asthma.’
1 ‘Do you catch on?” _
“Yes, but Mr. Ruggles is one of the most
P '"“There you go. I discharged your prede
cessor yesterday for using the word ‘genial’
in speaking of a general passenger agent.
Now look hero, what is this? You say:
*Mr Janies Charleton. the veteran General
Passenger Agent of the Chicago and Alton
railroad, has just selected anew litograph
ss an advertisement for his line (by all odds
the shortest to St. Louis, Kansas City or
Denver) which will excel in magnificence
anything of the kind heretofore attempted
on this hemisphere,’ Where did you gat all
this information, and how much did it cost
you* Look here, if you understood your
business this is the way you would write an
item of that kind •
“ ‘One James Charleton, who claims to be
connected with the passenger department of
a bob-tail fiy-by-night railroad company
doing a small business between this city, St.
Louis, Kansas City and other Western
towns, threatens to flood the country with a
lot of cheap chromos as an advertisement
for himself and the company he professes to
represent. We have reason to believe that
these pictures are a job lot, purchased at a
recent auction sale of a defunct printing
office in Buffalo. They were originally in
tended to be used as posters for a
dime museum. It is an outrage
upon public taste and public morals that
cWleton and men of his stamp should be
permitted to scatter these back-number show
bills over the country. The road which he
pretends to represent is hidden by prairie
grass and weeds five miles from town, and
passengers who are gulled into traveling
over it must be prepared to make nine
tenths of their trip oy stage. The five-mile
washout, which occurred on the road last
summer, has not yet been repaired, and the
cabooses, which it used for passenger cars,
have not been swept out since they were
borrowed from the Car Trust Company.
What Charleton’s alleged road needs is not
lithographs but pickaxes and spike-drivers.’
“Doyou see the idea?”
"I see what you mean; but the Chicago
and Alton is one of the most reliable roads
in—"
“There you go again. Another of your
predecessors was discharged for using the
word ‘reliable’ in connection with the rail
roads centering in Chicago. What do I see
here? We are informed by Mr. Paul Mor
ton, the able and efficient general passenger
agent of the Chicago, Burlington and Quin
cy railroad that anew lightning express
train between Chicago and Omaha will be
put on this road next Monday. It will re
duce the time about three hours, and will
undoubtedly capture nine-tenths of the
passenger traffic between the two cities.’
Now, that's a daisy. Morton must have
thought you a beautiful mark when he
stuffed you with that. Now, if you are
going to remain on this paper you must re
member that it isn’t edited by Mr. Paul
Morton, nor managed by the Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy. 1 shall have to rewrite
that item in this style:
‘The cheerful intelligence lias just reached
us tnat the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroud is at length going to put on a train
between Chicago and Omaha, which will
reach its destination iu less than six months
after its departure. This will prove to be a
gtcat convenience to the few persons who
still risk their lives by patronizing this road,
as they will no longer be compelled to carry
canned provisions with them, and may leave
,!o° , e as July without running any

wat will suit Mr. Morton. I hope it will

maining on the main track should
have boen switched to a siding, if the
Rock Island people know what a siding is, or
the switch should have been turned at each
end of the siding so as to let the passenger
pass safely by. It was a fortunate tiling for
the passengers that they were traveling on
this road, os the maximum speed of its
train is only nine miles an hour in fine
weather, and this time is only made when a
stiff breeze is blowing on the rear coach.
Mr. E. St. John, the assistant manager of
the company, has not as yet boen arrested,
but we leant that a capias will lie issued and
served upon him to-day. This person hns
devoted his time pf late to
bill-writing, a branch of the railroad busi
ness which is becoming more popular than
serviceable, instead of giving attention to
the condition of the roadbed, which is said
to be in a most abominable condition, the
rails in some places being off their parallel
from three to five feet. The Austin Dummy
Company needs a superintendent, and Mr.
Bt. John should lose no time in seeking the
position.’
“There, that sounds something like a re
port,'’ said the city editor.
“But,” -protested the railroad reporter,
“everybody in the West knows that tho
Rock Island is one of tho finest railroads in
the world, and that Mr. St. John is ”
“Enough,” said the city editor. “People
will think different after awhile. What
have you got here: ‘General Passenger
Agent Hansen, of the Illinois Central, says
that his road is doing a bigger business be
tween Chicago and New Orleans than ever
before, and that the passenger earnings this
quarter will exceed those of any quarter
sinc-e the road has been in existence. This is
unquestionably duo to Mr. Hansen’s able
management of the passenger department.
He is one of the most suave and courteous
gentlemen connected with tUe railroad busi
ness here.’ There you go again. ‘Suave
and courteous;’ Now, what in hail and
thunderstorms has Hanson’s suavity and
and courtesy got to do with you? Have you
an annual pass in your pocket ? Did he give
you a season ticket? How are you fixed for
Cheltenham beach? Take your pencil and
write •
“ ‘The English stockholders in the Illinois
Central railroad will be pained to learn that
the next quarterly dividend will have to be
passed. Indeed, it is doubtful if another
dividend will be paid for some years to
come. The passenger business of the road
lias fallen off frightfully of late, excursion
ists and travelers for tho South preferring
the river route, wiiich insures them more
speed and safety. Many Chicagoans are
going down the canal in rowboats to the
Desplaines river, thence to the Illinois, and
thence to the Mississippi, in order to save
the fatigue incident to a trip over tho •Illi
nois Central. It was rumored on the street
this morning that the train which left here
day before yesterday had not as yet
reached East St. Louis, but a telegram
from the latter city received last night says
that a farmer reports that he sighted the
train off Bellevue and exchanged signals
with the conductor. The train was out of
coal, and the engineer was splitting up the
roof of the last passenger car for fuel. Mr.
Hansen, the ticket agent for the company
here, says the new locomotives and cars of
the compromise gauge pattern are being
built for the company, so that it will not be
necessary hereafter to run trains on the ties
through divisions where the tracks have
spread, as the gauge can be speedily ad
justed to meet all requirements. This idea
was suggested by Mr. Hansen, who has a
great intellect " for grasping intricate
mechanical difficulties and downing them.
We would suggest that a wrecking car be
attached to each passenger train pending the
introduction of Mr. Hansen’s improve
ments.’”
“Perhaps that won’t make Hansen’s flesh
creep,” said the city editor. “Perhapsthere
won’t be an Illinois Central lobby at Wash
ington next winter working for the repeal
of the interstate commerce Mil.”
“But, my deal - sir,” said the reporter,
timidly’ “are you certain that you are stat
ing facts? Don’t you think ”
“Don’t I think what?” roared the city edi
tor. “Just look at this. How in the name
of Carter Harrison did you ever pick up
that piece of news? ‘Mr. Marvin Hughitt,
the eminent American railroad magnate and
General Manager of the Chicago arid North
western, intimated to a reporter for this
paper yesterday that he would soon put sev
eral additional suburban trains on the Mil
waukee division, although the suburban ser
vice of this road is now giving universal
satisfaction. ’ You must be a stranger to the
sentiments of the unfortunate people who
live in the suburban towns alpng the line of
this road. You don’t know what you are
talking about. Take your pencil and fol
low me.
“[‘The people who live along the line of the
Milwaukee division of the Chicago and
Northwestern railroad were thunderstruck
when informed yesterday that several of
t’heir most popular trains were to be taken
off and the running time between Chicago
and Waukegan changed to four hours and
thirty minutes. The patrons of the road
could hardly realize for a time that anew
and unprovoked outrage was about to be
perpetrated upon them. Yet they were
soon satisfied that such, indeed, was the
hellish design of the purse-proud corpora
tion which their hard earnings had en
riched. Tho running time to Evanston is
to be two horn's hereafter and only three
trains will run each way daily in addition
to the accommodation or' way-freighf
trains, which leave the Wells street
depot every five hours. We understand
that the people along the fine have organ
ized a company which will run’buses over
the old Green Bay rood every half hour in
the morning and evening. Bv this means
they hop- to bring tho Northwestern to
terms. The ’buses will carry the United
States mails, as they will mako faster time
than the trains. It seems that one of the
objects of the Northwestern was to depopu
late the suburbs, so ns to got possession of
the property, which within a few years
must be included within tho corporate limits
of Chicago. Once more the lhgh-handed
arm of this grasping monopoly has been
paralyzed by the people. Success to the
’bus company.’”
“You see,’’said the city editor, “that you
have taken n wrong view of tho whole busi
ness. You don’t appear to appreciate the
situation. You are not equal to tho emer
gency. Now, I find here a lot of personals,
in which you refer to the officers of tho
different roads with a liberal coating of
honied adjectives. That is all wrong. For
the next few months wo want to let tho offi

personals, but they must be something like

SAYS HE IS ST. JOHN.
How An Old Man Named C. B. Thomp
son Originated a New Religion.
From the Philadelphia .Veins.
In the little brick house No. 2915 Diamond
street lives the founder of n new religion. His
name is C. B. Thompson, and by trade he is
a clothing cutter, He is over 70 year's old.
His white hair falls in luxuriant tresses over
his shoulders, and his beard and moustache
are as long and as white as were Rip Van
Winkle’s after his long sleep.
Mr. Thompson says he is St. John
the Evangelist, incarnate again upon earth.
He has been preaching his peculiar doctrines
for over forty years, chiefly in the West,
and, while accepting the Bible in a mollified
way, places a hook of his own, called the
“Great Divine Charter and Sacred Constitu
tion of labba’s Universal and Everlasting
Kingdom,” far above it in authority.
A reporter interviewed the seer yesterday
afternoon.
“I was inspired to write that book,” said
Mr. Thompson, referring to tho volume
mentioned above. “No visible appearance
o rdered me to do so, l ut. tho Holy Spirit of
God. The command to write it came early
in 1870, in order that records might be kept
of prophesies fulfilled of Daniel and John
and others. All these prophets foretold I
should write this book. The revelation was
made to me here in Philadelphia while 1
was working as a clothing cutter in Wana
maker A: Brown’s. It was manifested to me
in early life that this was to be my futuVe
work. I wrote in the daytime in 1870 under
inspiration. The ideas, not the words, were
inspired. No divine writer ever hud in
spiration ii* words; that is a mistaken idea.
When the book was finished I received an
inspired command to givo it to the public,
so I had it printed and circulated copies at
50c. each.”
VERY FEW COPIES DISPOSED OF.
“Did you sell many copies?”
“Not very many. People treated it with
silent contempt. I have no doubt many a
joke passed about it.”
The book referred to is a small one of
seventy-two pages, a jumble of secret order
rituals and quotations from Biblical
prophecies. It gives minute directions con
cerning formations *of “Senates” and
“Councils.” This is the title page:
“Preface and errata of the Great Divine
Charter and Sacred Constitution of labba’s
Universal and Everlasting Kingdom.
“The opening of the Shiloh dispensation
of peace and of the fulness of time.
“Revealing and finishing the mystery of
God.
“Showing the distinct origin of tho differ
ent faces of living beings with souls.
“The regeneration of the men in the flesh
and their final and eternal inheritance upon
“See Gen. 49:4, 10; Eph. 1:10; Gon. 1:24,
2t>; St. John 3:3; Rev. 5:10, also 10:7.”
“We do not believe ill miracles,” con
tinued the founder of the new religion,
called “Cyipz.” "There never was a mira
cle. Miracles would imply turning nature
out out of its coui-se. There appeared to be
miracles in olden times, and the ignorant be
lieved them, hut the wise did not. The
Apostles and the Saviour never said there
were miracles. Irresponsible people perverted
the Bible to make them say so.”
“What is the corner-stone of your sys
tern?”
“The reincarnation of souls. Jesus Christ
was first Adam, then Noah, then Jacob,
David, Isaiah and finally the Saviour. He
was born naturally, not supernaturally.
All men’s souls reappear on earth in this
manner.”
MANY TIMES ON EARTH.
“Do you remember being on earth before
existing in your present form V'
“Yes. So do all souls that attain perfec
tion. The bodily brain dies and turns to
dust, so carnal things are not remembered.
But the spiritual are. Tho soul cornea into
a body again in tho third or fourth genera
tion. Judgment comes in the flesh, not in
the spirit.”
“If you do not believe in heaven or hell,
what do you mean by paradise?”
“Paradise is a place on earth, undoubtedly.
My idea is that it is a cavity at the South
Pole. There the weather is always pleasant,
and trees bloom tiie year round. Strange
animals live there. Everything is real.
There are Christ, and Abraham, and Enoch,
and Elijah, and many others—in the natural
body. They eat, and breathe as wo do, and
if you were to see one of them you would
not know he was different from other
men.”
Fifteen people meet every Sunday at 10:30
a. m. and 7 :.'i() p. m. in the hall, 2,244 Ridge
avenue, to hear Mr. Thompson preach his
peculiar doctrines. He has an “assitant
minister,” Elder A. Grist, who koeris a
cheap restaurant on the first floor of No.
2,244. These services are very simple, con
sisting of songs, prayers, exhortations. Mr.
Thompson claims to have many converts iu
different partis of the country.
One of the main idoas of the religion of
“Cyipz” is that the white race shall rule
the world, negroes, Chinamen, Indians, etc.,
being in subjection to it. Mr. Thompson
says this has already come to pass, and the
next thing that will occur is the overthrow
of all the kingdoms on earth and the con
stitutions of nations into republics.
CUTTING AN ELEPHANTS CORNS.
He Had to be Thrown, and He Broke a
Tusk in Falling.
From the New York Tribune.
Prince, Pilate and Gypsy are throe fair
sized elephants that aro now enjoying life in
a Hoboken stable. Like all elephants, they
have no particular use for lioots and shoes,
but nevertheless, they are heirs to some of
the evils that afflict the feet, and Prince
looked yesterday as if he were ruminating
over the old proverb, “I*argo aches from
little toe-corns grows.”
None of tho elephant* had hail its feet
trimmed for some time, and Prince needed
attention nt once, for ho litnjied now and

when only a slight o|>eruti<m was required,
tlie elephant placing Ins feet, in turn on a

wandered off for human flesh. A third
keejier seized its tall and restrained its ener
gy and the other two men pushed with all
their might t o make the big fellow go over.
But he would not stir and ho trumpeted all
the notes in the elephant scale that denote
wrath. A stout rope was finally tied
around his body amt then a strong pull
brought him tonis knees. This treatment
brought out a succession of deep-chested
roars prolonged to shrill toots that, fright
ened the dogs in the yard into their kennels,
nearly scared the feathers off the rooster
and blanched the black skin of throe little
negroes that were peeping through the win
dow. Another tug and a push turned the
huge beast over on his side with a crash and
he was so frightened at first that he gave
an imitation ol an elephant in a taint. Pr inee
broke his right tusk off short in falling, but
he did not appear to notice it.
It was found that from standing on in
clined planks so long the heels of the soles
of his hind foot had been turned up a little,
causing a bad in tho flesh on either
side of each foot. The sore wore sponged
with warm water, and theu sprinkled with
water containing a little carbolic acid. The
elephant lay perfectly quiet when he saw that
something was being done to relieve his pain.
“Tho next time we have to treat his feet,”
said Mr. Reicho, “Prince will go over Ht
command, for he will remember this.”
The rope untied, Prince rose to his feet
and trumpeted that he was glad that tho
operation was over and that he did not like
it at all. The other two elephants rapidly
exchanged signs as if they were trying
to toss up to see which would lie the next
victim. But further operations for tho day
were postponed.
Prince is about 15 years, old, weighs
nearly two tons and stands not quite eight
feet nigh. The elephants aro owned by
Charles Reicho & Brother, the Park Row
importers of rare animals.
