BURGLAR BILL.
ITliis recitation was prepared by Punch, and
™ hlisbed wilU the intimation that a pretty
unerkui girl might speak it. in Washington
coul e to Loudon as au actress. 1
Tntvugh a window in the attic brawny Burglar
gill has crept; .. ,
Stealthily he seeks a chamber where the jewelry
He is thrulshed with a jimmy, centre-bit and
carpet-bag —
For the latter • comes in hand, as he says, to
stow the swag.”
Here upon Ihe second landing, he secure may
'work his will;
Down below’s a dinner party—up above the
house is still.
Suddenly— in spell-bound horror—all his satis
faction ends.
For a little white-robed figure by the banister
descends! ...
Bill has reached for his revolver—but he hesi
tates to fire;
Child is it, or apparition, that provokes him to
perspire?
Can it be his guardian angel, sent to stay his
hand from crime?
He could wish she had selected some more sea
sonable time!
‘•Go away!" he whimpered horsely. “Burglars
have their bread to earn!
1 don’t need no gordian angel cornin’ givin' me
a turn 1”
But the blue eyes open wider, ruby lips reveal
their pearl;
“I is not a garden angel— l is dust a yickle
girl!
On the thairs to thit I'm doin’ till the tarts and
jellies turn;
Partinthon, the butler, always thaves for Baby
Bella thome!
Boor man 'oo is lookin’ 'ungry—leave oo burg
ling fiugs up dere;
Turn along and have some sweeties, thitting on
the bottom thair!”
“Reely, Miss, you must excoose me,” says the
burglar with a jerk;
“Dooty calls, and time is pressing—l must set
obout my work!"
“Is 'oo work to bweak in houses? Nana told
me so, I'm sure!
Will 'oo try if 'oo can manage to bweak in my
doll's-house door?
[ tan never det it undone, so my dollies tan’tdet
out;
They don't like the fwont to open evewy time
they’d walk about.
Iwy—and if 'oo does it nicely, when I'm thent
upsthairs to theep,
[ will bring 'oo up some goodies—which thallbe
for 'oo to keep?”
Off the little angel flutters—but the Burglar
wipes his brow;
He is wholly unaccustomed to a kindly greeting
now!
Jtever with a smile of welcome has he seen his
entrance met!
Nobody (except the policeman) ever wanted him
as yet!
Many a stately home he's entered—but, with
unobtrusive tact.
He has ne'er, in paying visits, called attention
to the fact.
Gain he counts it, on departing, if he has avoid
ed strife.
Ah, my brothers, but the burglar's is a sad and
lonely life!
All forgotten are the jewels, once the purpose
of his “job,”
As he sinks upon the doormat with a deep and
choking sob!
Then, the infant’s plea recalling, seeks the nurs
ery above,
Looking for the Lilliputian crib he is to crack—
for love!
In the corner stands the doll's house, gayly
painted green and red;
And the door declines to open—even as the child
had said!
Out come centre-bit and jimmy, all his imple
ments are plied!
Peftly now the task’s accomplished—for the
door will open well,
When a childish voice behind him breaks the
silence like a bell—
“ Sank 'oo, Missa Burglar, sank 'oo, and, beta use
"oo’s been so nice.
See, I've hwought ’oo up a tartlett—gweat big
gweedies eat the ice!
Papa says he wants to see ’oo—Partinthon is
tummin', too—
Tant too stay?” * * * “Well, not this evenin’,
so, my little dear—adoo!”
fast he speeds across the housetops—but his
bosom throbs with bliss,
Kor upon his rough lips linger traces of a baby's
kiss!
Dreamily on her downy pillow Baby Bella mur
r murs sweet:
“Burglar, turn adain an' thee me—l will dive 'oo
cakes to eat 1”
In his garret, worn and weary, Burglar Bill has
sunk to rest,
Clasping tenderly a damson tartlet to his burly
breast!
A TRAVELER.
The Remarkable Record of a Baggage
Master.
Prom the Providence Telegram.
“Traveled far enough to go around the
earth eighty times. Two million miles!”
“Yes, sir, that’s about the size of it if your
figgerin’s correct.”
It was in the baggage car of the Shore
Line express train that this fragment of
conversation was overheard, and the first
speaker looked aghast as he carefully run
up the figures he had nude on the back of
an old envelope.
The tram was rattling along past the
fields by Kingston, and on this rainy after
noon the baggage car was not the pleasant
est place in the world for a conversation.
Among the piled up trunks the two men
were sitting, and their hiding places were
only marked by the wreaths of smoke that
curled up from between the Saratogas. The
man who had spoken last was an old man,
and one worth a second look. He was
dressed in the ordinary overalls and jumper,
and front beneath his uniform cap, thick
locks of white hair curled out giving his
smooth-shaven face a setting not to be
“asily forgotten. It was Mr. H. S. Baker,
through baggage master on the Shore Line
express. In the course of the conversation
the old man had made mention of the ex
tent of his travels.
“It was in 1841,” he had said, “that I first
went on the Boston and Providence railroad.
When I was a little feller I went to sea, but
when I got tired of that I settled down here
uid have been on the road ever since. I had
charge of the baggage and mails. Then
when the first .Shore Line train was run,
on Dee. 12, 1850, I began to go through
from Boston to New York, and have done
so ever since.
I am about 70 years old. and am as well
** ever. I never drank, and I attend to my
own business only, and don’t know or care
" hat is going on in any other part of the
t rain; that's the conductor’s business. Sonie
tmies I don’t even know what engine is
drawing us; that’s the engineer's business.”
”1 suppose you’ve been in a good many
accidents in your long connection with the
Haul!”
"Accident*? Well, yes. I have seen some
accidents. 1 was counting up the other day
and 1 found that I’d been Tn twenty, includ
the number of times the train has gone
off the track.”
“Twenty! And you still live!”
“Don't look much like a corpse that’s been
bating (j feet under ground in a wooden
overcoat, do I? No, sir, but I’ve had some
narrow scratches, I tell you. You remem
ber the Htcmy creek accident) Well, I was
n> that and was in my baggage car as usual,
ana was hitched on next to the engine. You
"e some fellow had put an obstruction on
'he track right on the bridge. He took a
piece of rail and laid it crosswise of the other
’ atls and hitched it there. When the train
eamo along (he engineer didn’t see it until
lie got close on to it. He whistled down
makes immediately. I didn’t know
what was up of course,' but I rushed out
anil screwed as hard as I could, and then I
rushed back into the baggage car and
Mummed the door with both hands just as
we went oir the trestlo. The roof of the
baggage car slid rightoff and ran under the
the passenger coach behind, but it
’min t hurt a soul there, although it passed
close to the heads of Nome people sitting in
the seats there. I was thrown down to the
other end of the car under some liaggagr. I
tried to catch hold of that big rod tlmt runs
i„ U — *°P ot the car, but it’s lucky I
misHcd it, or I would have been crushed
hen the roof went off and slid through the
thiT coach. I got pretty liadly bruised
and felt the strain iu my back
in a yw, but no bones were broken,
z? V* 01 ' to all uiy railroading I never so
much as got a finger broken.”
r- .Vi nc * when we were running between
wnlford and Bamford, two little towns in
zzyy°cut, an axle on the engine broke,
®ua throw us off. The trucks held, but tho
car was thrown off arid turned
th®. ete, y ovor - There were six of us in
iiH; carat the time, ami for a moment we
t j. 11 “ mixed up with the baggage. When
" air tnick we struck, too. and the liag
wW'- 4ruck ou ton of us and left all
buried beneath it. When the conductor
opened tho door he couldn’t see one of us.
Wo waru’ts hurt much, but it was pretty
lively there for a little while.”
“Did I ever jump! No sir. And don’t
you jump if you want to be on the safest
side. No, sir; that thing would never do.
The chances are that if you ever jump you
will either be killed or liadly smashed up; so
just stick to the ear and take your chances.
I he safest way is to grab something station
ary. If I can’t get that I just throw myself
oil the floor and take things as they come.
That’s the reason so many iieople get hurt.
They lose their heads and then jump after
them I suppose. Just as soon as they hear
a whistle at an unusual place, or a bumping
up and down, everybody jumps up ana
rushes to see what's the matter. That’s
where they miss it. If they just sat still
and held to their seats their chances would
be better and-escape more probable.”
“I suppose you've seen some pretty lively
traveling in your time?’
“Yes; but that isn’t a circumstance to
some of the slow traveling I’ve seen. You
know how far it is from Guilford to New
Haven? Well, if you don’t, it’s about fif
teen miles. I remember once in a snow
storm we left Guilford on a Thursday, and
we didn’t get into New Haven until the next
Saturday.
“Queer characters? Yes; I sometimes see
some queer characters, and some that are
not very welcome. Yes, I have all sorts of
persons come in here just as you’ve come in,
and they don’t all come in for anv good.
Once I found a fellow in here, and 1 knew
the minute I put my eyes on him that he
was a tough one. He was evidently trying
to change checks on trunks, so I ordered him
out. He said he wouldn’t go, so I just
Sicked up a coupling—we didn't have the
idler platform then —and I told him that
if he didn’t go before I counted three I
would let him nave it.”
“Did he go?’
“He went.”
“Once in awhile people lose their cheeks.
If they would report it to the conductor
at once it would save them lots of trouble
and time, but they don’t and consequently
a trunk sometimes gets into the wrong
hands.”
“Danger? No, I never think of the dan
ger. I never allow myself to. You see
when a man gets to brooding over anything
his mind gets disordered and he comes to be
lieve that what he’s thinking of is so. That’s
what makes so many suicides. I feel just as
safe here as I would sitting on the top of
that hill yonder. Perhajis it’s because I’ve
been so long on the trains.”
And that was what led to the “flggerin”
which called forth the exclamation.
“Let us see now about how many miles
you’ve traveled. From New York to Boston
every day. That’s 282 miles. Six days in
the week; that’s 1,392 miles a week.”
“Yes, but I didn’t travel every week after
the first eighteen months.”
“Well, then, for the first eighteen months
you got over 108,570 miles.”
“Well, I guess that’s so.”
And then for the time you’ve run in the
twenty-seven years you’ve been with this
road you’ve covered 1,691,582 miles.
“Well, don’t forget the fourteen years I
was with the Boston and Providence road.
I can’t tell just how much I run before that,
as I was shifted around more, but I guess
from what we’ve found now that my four
teen years between Boston and New York
before that will make up a balance of
2,000,000 miles.”
“Why, that’s as good as going around the
earth eighty times. Two million miles!”
“Yes, sir; that’s about the size of it, if
your flggerin’ ’s correct.”
NATE MEETS THE QUEEN.
An Interesting Interview Between
Her Majesty and Col. Salsbury.
From the L/misoille Courier-Journal.
A private letter, just received, incloses
the following from the daily court report
published in the London Times :
The Queen, accompanied by Prince and Prin
cess Henry of Battenherg. paid a private visit to
Buffalo Bui’s Wild West snow at Earl's Court
in the afternoon. Her majesty drove in a closed
carriage from Buckingham Palace at 5 o'clock,
and was loudly cheered by crowds of people
who had gathered along the route to West Ken
sington. The members of the Wild West show
went through several of their peculiar per
formances, finishing with the spectacle of the
attack on the Denver coach. Miss Annie Oakley
and Miss Lilian Smith were sent for by her
majesty, who spoke a few words of
praise to each. At the conclusion of
the performance Col. W. F. Cody (“Buffalo
Bill”) had the honor of being presented to
her majesty, who expressed herself as
greatly pleased with the exhibition she had wit
nessed. Col. Cody asked her whet her it was too
long, to which she replied: “Not at all; she only
regretted that her time was so ltmited, and she
would like to come again.” Red Shirt (Oglla-
Sa) chief of the Sioux, was then presented, and
the Queen expressed her pleasure at seeing him.
Red Shirt replied that it made him glad to hear
it: he had come a long way to see her majesty.
Mr. Nate Salsbury. director of the Wild West,
was presented to her majesty, who expressed a
desire to see the Indian habies or papooses. Two
of these were presented for her majesty's in
spection, and she was pleased to shake their
hands and ]>at their painted cheeks. Her majes
ty, after being presented with a bouquet by
Miss Whitley, left at about 6:45.
The -writer of the letter proceeds thus:
“You will gain no idea of this touching
spectacle from the meager details given in
tne newspapers. When Red Shirt met the
Queen there was evident on the face of each
that sense of kinship, that mutual recogni
tion of superiority, that is always seen
when great people meet. It was
the unspoken acknowledgment of equal
ity. Each saw in the other a ruler
of a great people, and their pround
hearts beat in unison as Red Shirt lit his
pipe and knocked a flea from his flowing
blanket. But the most remarkable part of
this interview was when Col. .Salsbury was
presented to Her Majesty. Col. Salsbury is
easily recognizable as one of nature’s noble
men, a fact that immediately put him on a
free-and-easy footing with the Queen.
“‘I supjxise you never met a queen be
fore?’ said her majesty.
“ ‘The he —, beg pardon, the deuce I
didn’t,’ said Col. Salsbury. ‘I met four of
’em once, when I had got a king full, and
I’m not likely to ferget it.’
“‘And had you really got a king full?’
asked the Queen innocently and with some
indignation.
“Yes, ma’am, said Nate, 'full as a little
red wagon—full on aces.’
“The Colonel’s evident familiarity with
kings and queens served to put her majesty
stillmore at her ease, and after expressing
her regret that kings were, after all, subject
to some of the frailties of ordinary mortals,
she inquired of Col. Salsbury how he liked
Indians.
‘“I like ’em fried,’said that gentleman,
‘though they are not bad when pickled and
cooked in white wine.’
“ ‘I fear you misapprehend me,’ said tho
Queen, suppressing an inclination to shudder
and evidently bent on a<-quiring informa
tion; “I mean, how do*you like their com
pany j*
*“‘Their couqiany!’ exclaimed Nate, ‘it
ain’t their company; it’s mine, mine and
Cody’s. Why those red-skinned devils don’t
own the knile they would scalp you with,
unless they stole it.’
“At this iK)int in the conversation several
Indian children ran up to Col. Salsbury.
and addressing him as‘Little Father,’asked
for pennies with which to buy buns. Mut
tering the word ‘kraps,’ Col. Salsbury told
the children to ‘chase themselves into a wig
wam,’ which they did. Then the Queen
asked Col. Salsbury to fetch her some Indian
babies. He went off and returned with a
papoose on each arm. One of them began
to cry just as her majesty was looking to
see how many teeth it had, whereupon a
child handed the ‘Little Father’ a bottle,
which he tenderly inserted into the little
babe’s mouth, thus keeping it quiet while
the Queen graciously explored the other pa-
will do; thank you kindly,’ said
her majesty. As she turned away she said
to the rrmoess Beatrice: ‘What strange
people these Americans are. Col. Salsbury
looks young to be the father of so many
little Indians; but, then, perhaps hes a Mor
mon l)er me; I wonder if he fries his own
babies! Indeed, I hope not.’
“Somehow, the Colonel did not soem
pleased, as he tamed and saw Buffalo Bill
Luwug a quiet lauji all b^rtumscU.

JOHN HOLMES’ FINE FAMILY.
Four Wives, Five Children and One
Mother-in-Law.
Regarding John Holmes, of Plainfield, N.
J., and his numerous wives, mentioned in
the Morning News a few days ago, a dis
patch to the New York Times says:
Four women have appeared here since
Monday who claim to be wives of John Bute
Holmes, who was buried on that day. How
many more may appear seems not to lie
known. Holmes lived out on a farm about
two miles from here, in Washington valley,
and was a surveyor doing business at 39
Nassau street, New York. He would have
been 69 years old had he lived until next
Wednesday. He died last Thursday rather
suddenly, and although he had beeu ill for a
few days Dr. Fritts, the attending physi
cian, refused to give a death certificate. Cor
oner Sutphin, of Somerville, was called in.
He deliberated a day and concluded that
Holmes died of cerebral apoplexy. A cer
tificate was given to that effect.
The day Holmes died his young wife Katie
went to his office and removed his valuable
maps and papers. The same day also Mrs.
Browning came here from New York in re
sponse to a telegram from her young son,
Charles Holmes. Mrs. Browning, who was
formerly Mary Sullivan, was at one time
Holmes' wife, and the boy is her son and had
always lived with him. Katie and her
mother, Mrs. Meadows, wore greatly sur
prised when this person turned up at the
house. She gave them a few items in
Holmes' history which opened their eyes.
Katie again went to New York on Saturday
and consulted her lawyer. On her return
she informed Mrs. Browning that she must
leave the place. This she quietly did after
stat ing long enough to show that she would
do as she pleased.
Sunday brought another delegation, con
sisting of Mrs. Williamson, another of
Holmes’ wives, and her three children.
They came to join another child who was
already on the place. On Monday the fu
neral occurred, only the last wife, the child
ren and the neighbors being present. The
other wives refrained 1 from participating in
the services. In the afternoon the wives re
turned to New York, leaving the children
on the place.
In the evening the circus commenced.
Katie came to town and made a complaint
before Justice of the Peace Charles Austin
that Hannah Williamson and her children—
Grace Wright, Harry Wright, Walter
Wright and Wallace Wright—and Mary
Browning and her child, Charles Sullivan,
had threatened her with bodily harm and
with burning down the buildings on the
farm. Three constables proceeded to the
place and brought the five children to town.
They were taken before the Justice aliout l*
o’clock in the evening and with no one to
represent them a hearing was given.
Katie and her mother testified that one of
the women had threatened to horsewhip
Katie, and that the children had also taken
an inning in the threatening game. Charles
Sullivan, they said, baiTicaded himself in
the library, and, after amusing himself by
tearing up valuable maps and papers, bad
leveled a pistol at the young stepmother’s
head anil warned that if she. testified against
his mother in court he would use her head
for a target. Various other antics were in
dulged in until Katie and her mother con
cluded it was time to round up. The Wright
children were discharged by tile Justice, but
Charles Hulli van was held in $5O to keep the
peace. No one appearing to hlp him out
of the scrape, he reposed in the borough
lockup over night. The next day Mrs.
Browning and Mrs. Williamson returned
from New- York in response to telegrams
auil were greatly incensed at the treatment
their children had received. As the consta
bles were ignorant of the names of the
women, and they declined to inform them,
the warrants against them remained unexe
cuted. By the efforts of a lawyer- the Sul
livan boy was released, and also the eldest
Wright boy, who is an imbecile, and had
been committed to the char”A of the Over
seer of the Poor. They all returned to New
York that evening.
Yesterday Mrs. Anna M. Holmes, the
genuine first wife, appeared and, accompa
nied by her counsel, Arthur P. Miller, pro
ceeded to Somerville, the county seat, and
tiled application l>efore Surrogate Long for
letters of administration on Holmes’ estate.
Katie’s lawyer, John H. Van Winkle, had
previously written the Surrogate that she
would apply for letters of administration in
a few days. The contest now as to the
property, therefore, lies between the fli-st
wife, aged 54, and the last wife, age 19. How
many counter claimants between these tw-o
ages "that may come in is hard to tell. The
estate is placed by conservative people at
about S'JO,OOO, although the claims may
amount to as much. A largo portion of the
estate consists of personal property.
Holmes married his first wife in Ireland in
1838, when she was Ift. In 1875, after living
apart from him for many years, she secured
a limited divorce. He was once a candidate
for Alderman in the First ward, in New
York, and in the campaign preceding the
election killed a policeman who tried to ar
rest him. He was indicted for manslaugh
ter, but the jury disagreed and the charge
was dropped. He was sentenced to fifteen
years for forging Ida Kerr’s name to some
deeds. Nile was living with him at the time
as his wife. He was pardoned when he
served five and a half rears by the efforts of
his half sister, Wright. He rewarded
her afterward by seducing her and they
lived together as man and wife for many
years on nis farm here. Four children were
Lorn to them. He was once sued for breach
of promise by Mary Chamlierlin anil a
judgment of AIi.OOO was given against him.
But a fifth of this sum was paid when
Holmes talked sweet to her and she dropped
the matter and went off with him again.
Another of his wives was Mary Nulnvau.
He had known her from the time she was a
baby. Hhe was eutrapfted by bis story of
being a widower ana married him. She
lived with him a number of years but finally
left him when she could stain! his abuse no
longer. Nltr has remarried and is living happi
ly. Gertie Barlow, who lovod to iiiHspucrade
in man's attire, was another presiding genius
at the farm. She was entirely too much for
Holmes to handle and he let her go. Then
there was Jenuie Morgan, the song anddnnee
artist, and Dora, the cisik, ami hosts of oth
ers. Last December he advertised for
a governess and pretty Katie Meat lows an
swered the advertisement. Her mother was
averse to her going alone in the country
with a widower, anil so Holmes made love
to the young girl and they were married in
two weeks. She converted him to the Ho
man Catholic faith and they attended ser
vice together faithfully. His neighbors say
that his young wife had reformed him. Hfe
had stnpi>ed drinking and seemed to have
settled down.
VICTORIA’S GOLD COACH.
Not to be Used in the Jubilee Procea
sion-Ita Beauty All Outside.
from the Boston Globe.
The great gold coach of state is not to be
used iu the Queen's jubilee procession. It
was last used in the year Prim* Albert died,
when the Queen went to opon Parliament in
person.
It would have been a great feature in the
celebration, as it is 24 feet long without the
pole anil 40 feet with it, ami weighs four
tons. The jmiiels are exquisitely painted by
Cipriani; at the four corners are huge gold
tritons, and at the top three figures repre
senting England. .Scotland and Ireland sup
porting the royal crown.
The interior fittings of the coach are tats
to red and ragged with age, anil consider
able time would be required to replace
them. As it practically has no springs, the
body Iwing suspended from brood leather
straps, it is a perfect, and ingenious instru
ment of torture, pitching as It goea lika a
small skiff in a choppv tea. This ought to
suit the Queen, as aha is said to abhor car
riage springs, and even hashed a device ap
plied to her carriage to prevent its rocking
when she gets in.

SLEEITXG-CAR POUTERS.
THE WAGES PAID AND SOME
THING ABOUT TIPS RECEIVED.
An Ex-Porter Tells a Sad Story as to
the Treatment of Porters by the Com
panies-Pined for Every Little Of
fense or Neglect—Compelled to For
age on tho Public to Eke Out a Liv
ing.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Sleeping-car porters are believed in some
quarters to lie the most rapacious of all the
tip-seeking class. For a decade the car por
ter has been the object of the wrath of the
traveling public, the sport of the newspaper
paragraphers, the possessor of the dislike of
all traveling women, who never give tips,
and has been regarded in a kind of hap
hazard way as embodying all the evils of
mendicancy supplemented by tho skill of
Dick Turpiniam. Sleeping-car porters have
also been known as “robbers of the road,”
and each and every one is supjiosed to have
a goodly amount of government bonds
stowed away fer a rainy day.
Avery intelligent colored man came into
the office yesterday. He said: “I want to
say a word for the sleeping-car porter. I
see lots of paragraphs going about in the
]lapel's I pick up in tho car, and it seems
everybody is down on the pirter liecause he
expects 25c. for a night’s attendance and
bootblacking. Will you let me say tuy say?”
“Most certainly,” said a reporter, “and be
glad to do It. We have been waiting for a
story from your side. Now is your oppor
tunity.”
The colored man is perhaps 35 years of
age, and has been a sleeping-oar pater for
twelve years. He says he has gotten through
with the business and now proiioses to do
something else for a livelihood. “I have
read jokes about the class I once belonged
to till I’m tired. Now ( I want to give the
other side. Will you listen to that!”
“With pleasure.”
“Well, now, I waut the traveling public
to understand that the car-porter is the
worst treated of the laboring class of people.
Persons who travel constantly understand
this well and are our sympathizers, and
help us out, but the great bulk of people
think we are a shoal of sharks. It is not
true, sir. The sleeping-car porters are for
the most part a deserving class and ought, to
have a more favorable recognition. What
I want to say first,, sir,” said the colored
man as he drew his chair up closer, “what
do you think of a rich corporation paying
their men but an average of $l5 a month?
Some men get a little more, some get, less,
but the average is about .$l5. Out of that
we are supposed to live on the road, sup
port families if we have them, buy uni
forms, pay fines, and work on an average
eighteen hours a day.”
“0, but you are supposed to help this out
by your tips.”
“’That is just what I want to talk about.
Do you think a great corporation, ismsting
its millions or more surplus, ought to for<v
its servants to get their support from the
public on tips?”
The argument, was unanswerable.
“But,” continued the ex-porter, “that is
not all. Even the meagre salary they prom
ise you is usually kept back in the shiq>e of
fines, ‘shortages,’ ana so on. In the first
place, a porter is supposed to be with his
car as long as it is ‘on wheels,’ so to speak—
that is, as tong as it is in motion. Most of
the work is of course at night. The ]>orter
must be up and wide awake at all hours. If
a spotter, and" there are plenty
of them on the road, catches him napping
it is *5 fine—one-third of
his month’s salarv. If a spotter again re
ports him he is discharged and all his salary
due is taken. Smaller fines are imposed,
ranging from a cent to $l, which often eat
up the whole month’s pay. The most fre
quent sources of fine Is the linen of the car.
If a towel is missing the poor porter is
charged 50c. Now we know how often la
dies have to use extra linen. They don’t
stop to think, but take it. The porter is
charged 50c. for every piece missing. If a
wisp-broom getsßost it means 50c. fine. Houp
they don’t charge us for, which is a wonder.
The buffet-car porters are charged twice the
retail price for every glass or piece of
crockery they break, for every napkin that
gets lost, and for every ounce of provisions
not accounted for as calculated on the nar
nowest basis.”
“Then there does not seem to be much in
the car-porterage profession except it be
from tips i ”
“There is mighty little in that, the way
the thing is running. The public have got a
little mad at the meanness of the car com
panies, and a good many more ten-eent
pieces get into our hands than quarters. A
good many people scowl when the wisp
broom approaches, and as for ludies—well,
they never give us anything. They think
we are paid g<*xl salaries and ought to be
content with that.”
“What is about the average income of the
car porter, taking hif> salary free from fines
and his tills f”
“It will run from $43 to $75 a mouth.
But I want to say that his salary ought not
to count, for in seven eases out of ten the
salary is eaten up by fines and shortages.
But the income depends on the run. The
liest run Is between Chicago and Ht. Louis.
A porter can on that run, if he is lucky on
fines and hasn’t too many towels and liaie
kins to account for, make $75 a month.
But that’s the only run in the country of its
kind.”
“What makes it so valuable?”
“It's short—it’s simply all night. The cars
are always full aml every passenger is good
for a quarter, or a dimejat least.
“How are the long runs —don’t they pay
the liest? Hay the New York limited—isn't
that pretty good?”
“Bless you, no. The limited on all the
roads is the worst that is sent out. It is
supi>oHed to be tho best for ti|m, considering
the class of travel, so the companies only
I>ay $l2 or so u month on that train, but you
don’t get it. You see there is only one
night out. Now you can’t get more’n a
quarter for a one-night ruu, I don’t care how
rich aud liberal the traveler is; and then
you’ve always got to discount the ladies. As
l said before, ladies never ;ay anything.
We can brush the nap off th ir cloaks, but
they don’t see the point,. Lots of times I’ve
bmshed till I’ve got tired aud the only re
maril was a request to got the twiby a glass
of ice-water or a demand in <arry out that
dead lunch-hamper. 1 don't go much on
ladies as jmssengers.”
“But you think Ht. Ixmis is the best run?”
“Yes. Ht. Paul comes next on ordinary
trains, but the fast train, no! You see, tho
ordinary trains stop often-ir, get on more
passengers, and the quarter is nimbler.
Those trains arc worth about a month,
including salary, if it is not taken from
you. '
“How are the very long runs, like those
to the Pacific const?”
“They’re no good as a regular thing. It
was reported once that tho bonanza silver
people wero giving the boys $5 gold-pieces
and the wages were cut from $2O down to
$l5 a month. Tho I sirs were not getting
any such money. Once in a while when
John Mackey or Henator donee cauie over
th porter got a couplo of geld pieces, but it
was no reg’lar thing. Fifty cents is about
the average on the ruu from Omalut to
Ogden; you can’t get more than that—or
at least can’t count on it. That whole run
ain’t worth more than $5O n month."
The colored man then spoke of another
thing. “We are compelled to go to a tailor
who has a contract with the company. We
have to jiay him $25 for such blue suits us
you travelers see us w<ar. There isn’t
another tailor hi Chicago that would not
make them up of better material tuid shape
lier cut for $2O. We have to pay $2 tti
for our caps, and tboee we ore compelled
to take from the storehouse. I lost mine
once and had to get a new one. I bad it
made at a Clark street place for justtl, and
It was a prettier and better cap than tin)
storehouse can produce. Our winlsr suits
we have to pay $3O for from the company's
tailor. Just $7 5?) more than we can gel them
for elsewhere of better material and better
•iiji/ip .. . . - ——■ i J
■’ ' f 'HK • ,
“But.” continued the colored man, “there
are other iietty exactions. These come from
t he porters responsibility for the company’s
linen and other proj>erty. It has become a
rule that porters at terminal stations and
also en route must clean their spittoons,
buffets and silver inside of the cars. It
takes from two to three hours to do this
work. If the porter sto]is to do it ho will
have but little time to rest and be at home
with his family. There is but one of two
things left to do—he must lose his rest or
must hire someone to do the work for him.
The companies make it a joint to have a
man or two around whom the porter can
pay to do the work if he can em
ploy him. Usually the porter can get
his lamps cleaned for 35c., his spittoons
for Hoc., and his silver for half a dollar, but
the buffet the porter must clean himself.
The porteis who run into New York, Jersey
City and Philadelphia have to pay more
than these rates. In Jersey City, unless the
jxtrter wants to wait from one to this*' hours
to exchange his soiled linen for dean, he has
to pay a man whom the companies keep
around 85c. of his hard-earned money. Por
ters running into the Union depot in Chica
go have to pay from 15c. to 25c. to have the
company's linen taken from their cars to the
linen room. There is no way to got around
paying this money, for the traius do not re
mam in the depot long enough for the
porter to carry the linen himself. These
are some of the indirect ways in which the
much-abused and ill-used porters are de
frauded of their paltry pittance.”
“Arc all companies alike in these exac
tion*;"
“Yes.”
“How nliout the roads that run their own
cars, like the Wisconsin Central, Milwaukee
and Lake Shore, mid othersf"
“They usually pay $4O or $45 a month,
and don’t expat us to take tij>s. But, dear
me!” exclaimed the colored man, “there's
mighty few of those roads now. I know
several instances where a sleeping-car com
pany put its cars on roads that bad before
employed their own and who were paying
good wages This company nt, once cut the
porters down to $l5 a month, and laid
forage on the public.’”
“And so you have been doing it? 1 ’
“What else is there to do, when you have
a family and are compelled to support your
self on the rood f”
To this question there seems to lie no re
ply, unless oue can be furnished by the
sleeping-car companies.

Avarice la What the Fakir Banks Upon.
From the Hew York Sun.
“The foundation on which every sharper
works is avarice,” said the some fakir, after
lighting a fresh cigar, “and he is as apt to
catch the citizens of a big town as the fann
er living by himself. 1 was attached to a
circus for several seasons, and my statistic*
proved that the biggest share of my money
came from towns; x*ople. I had a wheel of
fortune, two or three patent medicines, a
prize drawing, etc., and I have taken more
money at once out; of a lawyer or merchant
thou out of a countryman. It is curious
how all sorts of people will in
vest their money on a wheel, of fortune.
There never was one mude which didn’t
give the operator 75 per cent, advantage to
begin with, and by trickery this advantage
is increased 15 or 20 percent. You must
know that the operator has things so tlxed
that he can stop the wheel at will. In a
town in Rhode Island a member of the
Common Council, who was accounted one
of the sharpest men in the locality, left $2OO
with me before he quit my wheel. If there
is any raffling or dice shafting, it is all fixed,
of course. In the prize draw ings, you may
find gold and silver watches and sums of
money displayed, but these cannot by any
possibility be drawn.
“I know several men who have grown
rich and retired from business on the sale of
liver invigorators and consumption cures.
Both remedies are made of the same mate
rials, to-wit: Water, whisky and one or two
extracts. In Dayton, 0., a fakir connected
with our show sold 180 bottles of liver invig
orator and 208 Ditties of consumpt ion cure
in four hours, and not over ono-quarter of
the lot was sold to farmers. When you
appeal to a man’s avarice you hit him
hard; when you get him to thinking his
liver is out of order, or that he is con
sumptive, you can take his last. cent. You
have seen the glass bulbs tilled with reddish
fluid which fakirs claim to test the blood
with; Any one of average sense must
know they are frauds, but 1 have seen the
Ixwt physicians in a town pay theiwten cents
with the rest. Alxmt the only thing con
nected with the outside of a circus which is
not a fraud on the public is the electric bat
tery. That’s all right, and the owner will
give you all your money calks for, and some
times more.
“Now, take the throe-card monte business
or thimble rigging. Those two games have
been worked tor the last, fifty years r : ver
the United (State*, and tin’ public b en
warned against them tens of thou <f
times. They are still the most p. Ii
games to be worked. Even old gamblers
are enticed to liet. Several years ago,
while I wax taking a vacation at. a health
resort in Wisconsin, a couple of the frater
nity called for my assistance to help ‘work’
a farmer. The intended victim was a sharp,
keen man, about 30 years old. He had lieen
everywhere and was up on all dexige*. He
bad been tried with the gold brick and treas
ure dodges, but had remsed to bite. We
held a council and decided upon’a plan. He
had three or four fine horses for sale, and
the trio of us drove out to his place to make
a purchase. We were Illinois utex-k raisers
and horsemen, and it was apparent that lie
sized us up for sharp fellows. One of my
companion*, whom I will call Jitn, did most
of the talking, and he alone deaired to do the
buying. Jack and myself sat down on an
old hay rack hi the barnyard, and scarcely
noticed tho horses as they were )>uradrd up
and down in front of us. At the proper
time Jack took out his cards and lxgaii to
show me how to play them. I Ix't hini
that I could pick out the card, and
we began to talk in loud
tones and attract attention. The
farmer Anally came over. He knew all
alxiut the game and smiled in pity at the
ida of lx-ing caught, but in less than ten
minutes, ami that, without, any urging from
any of us, he had bet and won $lO. That
was the entering wedge. He was allowed
to win $BO, and then cleaned out of $4O.
His spirit of avarice van now thoroughly
aroused, and I’m telling you the solemn
truth when 1 say that he put, up the hortes
and walked into the house and brought out
a bag containing $OOO in gold. He sat down
with gretxly eyes and little lip* and won and
lost until we had his last dollar. There was
no explosion when he had parted with bis
last gold piece. On the contrary, he volun
teered the statement that all liiul been fair
and above board. An afterclap always ac
companies such event*, however, and we
got out of the State just as he bad secured
warrants for our arrest.
“The safest game worked in the country
to-day is the counterfeit money dodge, and
a goodly number of fakir* are rolling qp
fortunes by it. 1 supply myself with a lot
of new greenbacks—ones, twos and five*—
and then appear in some small towns as an
agent, or detective, or a stranger seeking
recreation. It require* only a few days to
size up tho people. In every town of 3,000
inhabitant* there are half a dozen men
who are ready to ileal In the queer if it can
be done sufely. The money I have with
me is, you understand, js'rfectly good.
When I have selected my man I exhibited
the money as counterfeit. I
am quietly supplying the ‘stuff 1
to a few gixxl fellows at so
much on the dollar. Before he buy* 1 give
him a bill to take to the port office or bank.
It pusses without question, uud lie 1* elated.
I am ready to leave a dollar bill with him
as a sample, but if ho gives me un order to
lx> filled two weeks later he must, pay me a
certain sum in advance, Nay $4O on the hun
dred. To prove to him that, 1 have hi* in
terests ami safety at heart, I produce a
la;x*r in which he make* me his financial
agent to receive and receipt for all
moneys. Then I give him mv note of hand,
due some weeks ahead, for whatever money
he pays me, ami lie rests assured that the
law cannot trouble him. His order is never
tilled, of course. Hup;xme he kicks. He has
given me ;x>wer of attorney. I have not
hud a dollar of the queer in mv pos
session. The document i an effect ual lair to
hi* recovering or prosecuting. I have seen
two or three tests of it, ami the fakir came
out with flying colors m each instance. Iu
ninety-nine case* out of 100, however, the
victim lanes whatever he has advanced
without a thought of raising u row. He has
lieen caught ill bad conqiaiiY. He intended
to swindle his neighbor*. He is amenable
tel the law. He is glail enough to let the
matter drop and say no more alxmt it. ami
the fakir goes from mixture to ;iasture and
rolls up a fat bank account. VYHen you
read in some newspaper of the sharpness
anil eliteness of the American jieople, just
remember what. 1 have told you. No poo
