times have changed. effect of the interstate law 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 “qj 1 ? snow-bound liefore reaching omaha. Still the march of improvement *i K!SO S' ,F e shall ne.vlhear tlmt the Chi ®S°* Burlington and Quincy has decided to urn tri weekly suburban trains for the bene ®,?t the Norwegian settlers along its line.” ~ 1 said the city editor, “I think wat will suit Mr. Morton. I hope it will sult Cooley. When you can 'fite a railroad item in that style I will “n e some cards printed for you.

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 cers aloue. We must have more railroad personals, but they must be something like this: ‘“Michael Muleahy, the popular flagman of the Baltimore and*lhioattneThirty-first street crossing, is at Hi s post again, looking none the worse for his little scrap with a Town of Bake jiollcomaii. “ ‘A hand-ear containing Hat (Irndy, Jerry Puffy, Dennis Burry and Roddy nullivAii wont out on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy to repair a culvert near Riverside. •“Ned Haumlcrs, the well-known brake man on freight train :ib, of the Milwaukee and St, Paul, is spending a few days at the county hospital. “‘ifill Mason, the clever and genteel fire man of engine SIT, of the Chicago and New Albany road, will spend Easter with his cousins oil tiie wuxt side.

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 then as if lie had invested iu a pair of boots too tight for him, mid he looked distremad. So Honiutu Reicfle, one of the owners, ap pointed yesterday ior the operation. Prince’s feet, hal not li'i'ii trimmed since Augurt, when only a slight o|>eruti<m was required, tlie elephant placing Ins feet, in turn on a pinnk and quietly submitting to the trim ming. Yesterday, however, it was iound necessary to throw him tutil then tie him down in order to keep him quiet. The elephants were standing iu their stni le stowing away hay in their caiMciou* mawh as if they were hay lifter* working ni u pressure Is lorn a coming rain storm, when Mr. Itelch® and ids four as sistant* entered the stable. Prince did not. want to lie interrupted in hi* breakfast, but he stood quietly while a pjeee of eii'|iit was fasteni'd around such of hi* him t li-gs.

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.
