Bill Nye on His Travels.
Fewer people seem to be traveling
for the delirious joy of traveling this
year than ever before in the history of
the country. Eating-houses, dining
cars, sleeping cars and hotels seem to
suffer most. A few days ago I had
the pleasure of riding from St. Paul to
Chicago, and from Chicago to Mew
York, over one of the most affluent
j railway lines in each instance, aDd I
; could not shut aiy eyes tr the fact that
1 the new inter-State commerce law has
made a difference. From Cleveland
to Buffalo I rode in a special car. It
was thesleeping-car “Aberdeen,” occu
pied by myself and suite. I had a con
ductor, a porter and a brakeman to do
my bidding, and tbe whole car wai
mine, miue alone. It was pleasant at
first, but finally it seemed lonely, so 1
called the porter and engaged him in
conversation. He said it had been
that way a good deal during tbe
month of April. One day, hesaid that
be and a spotter Bat and glared at each
other all the way from Elkhart, Ind.
to Syracuse, N. Y. He told me that
it was a time for memory and for
tears. Sleeping-cars, he stated, have
been the hot-bed of the annual pass
It is for that reason that sleeper after
sleeper is being side-tracked. He was
a bright, intelligent young man with
a clear, olive-oil complexion, and
when I left him I wrung out my hand
for him and gave him a small piec^of
money which I hope he will expend
W'sely.
I also conversed with the t r ain-boy,
sometimes c>arsely and incorrectly
called “the peanutter.” He came into
[lie special car to afford meanopportu
nity to speculate in a box of choice
figs, and an armful of paper covered
pronouns, including “I,” “Thou,”
"He,” “Me.” “She,” aud "It.” He
heaved a sigh when I spoke of th>
new law, and sitting down beside me,
he looked sadly in my open, ingenious
face, while he rested nine or ten dol
lars’ worth of books on my knee.
“Yes,” he said, inserting a soiled
thumb in the corntr of his eye in
search of a cinder, "it is an Erie of
financial depression. People that pay
their fare bring their dinner, ride in
the day coach, and sleep with their
mouths open. They buy nuthin’. In
fact, nob.dy travels unless it is a case
of life and death. Then they take a
hard-boiled egg and a blanket'and
borrow the papers. And now I see
some sardine from Snaggsville says
that under the Interstice Commerce
Law a peanutter really has no right to
ride free any more than anybody else,
not being a railroad employe! I am
tired of it. I can sit here and see my
figs grow old on my hands. Just look
at the lines of care on that box of figs!
Two weeks ago I had to take all the
prizes out of my candy packages, and
sell ’em for what I could get. You
noticed I didu’t go through the cars
to-day putting a fresh pecan meat in
everybody’s lap? That’s because I
can’t afford it. The injustice and
clean-out cussedness of this new law
is invading every homeanddesolating
every hearthstone in the land. Lemme
sell you ‘The Girl Detective: or
Hunted to Halifax and Back Again
Without Feed or Water,’ by the au
thor of ‘Only a Dark Blue Pill.’ ”
Then the train conductor came
along, dreamily punched my ticket
and asked me if I wanted dinner at
Buffalo. I said I did.
“Then there are two of you to dine
there to-day,” he said, “for there is
another man iD the next to the last
sleeper who will join you in the dining
hall. Generally we have six tables
full on this train for the eating-house
at Buffalo. To-day there are two men
•in the whole train who will dine
there, and there is no profit in either
of them, for the other man is even
more gaunt than you are.”
“To what do you attribute all this?”
I asked in a quiet, grammatical man
ner which put him at once at his ease.
“On, it is the new inconvenient
commerce law. Go into the dining
room at Buffalo and you will see
shout twenty waiters, cooks and
clerks and two guests at the table,
counting yourself, while no doubt an
• •Id gentleman will take a ‘stand-up’
at the lunch counter consisting of a
cup of coffee, for which he pays ten
cents, and a doughnut, which he
brings from hrOfce in his pocket and
which has little fiakes of smoking to
bacco on it. Au eating-house man
from the West rode through here yes

for the purpose of takingsome definite worth $160,000 in cash subject to draft,

York thi3 week. Tbe meeting will be j town a tramp. He was arrested for

The Train Dispatcher.
Philadelphia Times.]
The traveling public have lone been
wont to bestow approval upon railway
engineers for the self-sacrificing spirit
which they exhibit when the lives en
trusted to their care are endangered,
and in the annals of the rail these
occurrences are so frequent that pas
sengers generally picture the man at
the throttle of the locomotive as a
hero by virtue of his position. These
opinions are deservedly held, and it
would be tbe grossest injustice to de
tract from the honor which self-ab
negation always merits; but there is a
class of railway employes, almost
entirely unknown to passengers,
whose responsibility is so much great
er and whose slightest omission might
jeopardize the lives of people on trains
■note than any oversight on the part
of conductors or engineers, that it is
indeed strange that they are so seldom
mentioned in the public prints.
This class is the train dispatchers,
whose every order is implicitly obey
ed by train men; and while the crew
of one train is responsible for the
movement of that train alone, the dis
patcher holds in his hands the lives of
every individual on every train on
tbe road; and on a road having a large
traffic tbe duties imposed on him are
very great and arduous.
His position in the railway service
is unique; were all trains running on
time aud provided for on the periodi
cal tjme-tabie issued by the company,
he would have no duties to perform;
but trains will get delayed and occa
sions will arise requiring extra trains,
or trains without any specified time
>r rights, to be run over the road, and
then his services arc necessary to avoid
hours of delay.
All trains on railroads are divided
in classes, acceordiug to their impor
tance, generally two, passenger and
freight; and all trains of one class
running in a specified direction have
the right to lhe road, or need keep no
lookout for trains of the same or a
lower class rnnning in the opposite
direction. Thus it is assumed that on
a certain railroad trains running east
ward have the right of way over trains
running westward; then an east-bound
passenger train can run the whole
length of the road in entire disregard
of all trains; another passenger train
going west need only look out for the
east-bound passenger train, while the
freight trains must keep out of the
way of both passenger trains and of
the freight train which is running in
the direction prescribed as having the
right of road.
Every one understands that all
trains are chartered or have a time
given for passing each station, which
time can in no instance be anticipat
ed, and hence ail train men know
where all other trains ought to be at
auy particular moment, if on time;
but as trains frequently and generally
get late the train of inferior class must
have its movement expedited by some
extraneous cause or it may be delayed
for hours awaiting a train that may
have been wrecked or has been
kept back for some other of
many causes. TheD tbe duties of
tbe train dispatcher are of im
portance. He will probably give
an order to the delayed train by tele
graph, directing it not to go beyond a
certain place which he thinks it can
reach without difficulty, and he -di
rects the opposing train to proceed to
vagrancy, but when he got off he went t
to work, saved a few dollars, bought
ao option on a lot, sold it, and kept >
turning it over until he is now worth
$160,000. That’s true, because Gov. j
Martin himself told me of it. I think
Wicbita is the town of the future.”
"Xow,” said another, “I’m in the t
real estate business myself in Spring- i
field, in this State, and I think that
there isn’t anything to prevent Spring-
field being the metropolisof the West.
The other day my wife had about S300
which she told me to take down town
and put in the bank for her. As J was
going down the street I met a friend
of mine who wanted to show me a lot.
I went and looked at it and eoncluded
I’d take it, and I paid the $300 down,
and the deed was being made out for
me in the real estate office when an
other man came in aud looked over
the paper and said to me: ‘I’ll give
you $1,200 to let that man put my
name in that paper instead of yours ’
I took it. He sold that lot for $-5,000
next day. There was a friend of mine
who—”
“Here, that’s enough,” interrupted
another. "That’s pretty good. But
you mark my words. Fort Smith is
the coming town; three railroads
crossing there and seven started for
there. I bought a lot there for $500,
sold it for $700, bought it back again
for $000, and to-day telegraphed my
agent to sell at $1,500. When you’re
talking of booms, just remember that
the Fort Smith boom takes the cake.”
The fourth party seemed unequal to
the emergency for a moment, but fin
ally replied: “I’m from Kansas City,”
said he. “There was a man without
any legs or arms, and with only one
eye, came to our town five weeks ago
and held his hat in his mouth on the
street corners, for penn'es. In two
weeks he had bought a lot in the sub
urbs and sold it, and bought another
and sold that, and now he’s got a glass
eye, two artificial legs aud a pair of
arms, and can write his che:k for ex
actly $11,000."
“Veil, you come in two weeks und
I dell you vot I do.”
Two weeks later, or shortly before
May 1st, the manager called again.
Tbe German was all smiles.
“Dot’s all right, miuevriend. You
may sebtoy up stairs, und I'll schtay
here. I don’t pay no rent at all, put
you’ll pay seex hundred tollers a year
more as you paid lasht. I haf bought

Leading Newspapers.
Geo. P. Rowell & Co., of New York,
have just issued a pamphlet of 108
pages, in which they have undertaken
to select about 2,000 out of the 15,420
newspapers Lamed in the last issue of
the American Newspaper Directory,
and to assure tbe public that the se
lections made are sufficient for the
most extensive advertiser’s wants. It
is claimed that, although they are in
number only about one-eigbth, yet
they actually print more than seven-
eights of all the copies issued by the
entire press of America.
The Newspaper Advertising Bureau
of Geo. P. Rowell &Co. has been es
tablished twenty-two years, and
twelve years ago the New York Times
said of it: “They have the satisfac
tion of controlling the most extensive
and complete advertising connection

which would be hardly possible in i
any other country but this. They have j
succeeded in woikiug down a com I

At S o’clock the other morning c
Second street wife followed her hus-
hand down tc the gate as he was
starting for town and kindly said to
him-
“William, you know how sadly I
need a blue bunting dress.”
“Yes, dear,” he remarked, “but you
know how hard up I am. As soou as
I can see my way clear you shell have
the dress, and a new hat to boot. Be
parent, be good, and your reward
shall be great.”
Forty minutes after that be emerg
ed from a restaurant with a big basket
and a fish pole, bound up the river.
In the basket was a chicken, pickles,
cake, fruit, pie, and a bottle of liquid
of a dark, rich color, and he was just
lighting a twenty cent cigar when his
wife can e along.
“What! you here?” he exclaimed.
“Yes, I was going to the market.
Where are you going—what’s in that
basket?’’
“I was going to carry this fish pole
around to a friend on Jefferson ave
nue,” he modestly answered.
“And that basket?’
“This basket—well, I was going to
take it to tbe orphan asylum as a pres
ent to the children. It is a donation
from six leading citizens.”
“William, I don’t believe it.”
“Sh! Don't talk so loud!”
“William, I shall talk louder yet!”
she exclaimed. “I’ll bet you are going
fishing!”
“Mary, have I ever deceived you?”
he plaintively asked. "I never have.
As proof of my sincerity you can
take this basket to the asylum your
self.”
"And I’ll do it,” she promptly re
plied as she relieved him of it.
“Mary, hadn’t you !”
“No, sir, I hadn't! You’d better
hurry uj> with that fish pole, as the
man may want it, and be careful how
you stand around iu the hot sun!”
She left him there. Fie watched
her take the car for home, and then
he returned the fish pole and crossed
the street aud said to an acquain
tance:
“Tom, I’m suffering with neuralgia,
and the excursion is off till next week.
Too bad, but we can never tell what a
day may bring forth.”
There was chicken and pickle and
other good things on the table at din
ner, but he never smiled. Even when
ills wife wished she was an orphan, if
that was the way they were fed, he
never betrayed the gloom in his heart.
It was only when she handed him
the bottle be bad so parefully tucked
into the basket, and he saw it labeled,
“Good for Little Children,” that he
said:
“Mary, it is an awful thing for a wife
to get the impression that her husband
is a cold-blooded liar!”
“It must be,” she replied, as she
took the other chicken leg.

Sunny Husbands.
Very much has been said about the
obligation of tbe wives, in regard to
wearing perpetual smiles, but it seems
as if our literary talents haze never
once thought it worth while for the
“man of the house” to occasionally
don a smile when at home in his own
family circle.
It certainly is just as essential to
domestic happiness for a man to be
sunny and good tempered, as it is for
the woman.
We often doubt whether the male
head of the family ever really appre
ciates the opportunity lie has for dif
fusing sunshine at home, or compre
hends how much of gloom he can
bring into the family circle by enter
ing its sacred precincts with a dark
frown on his countenance. The wife
and mother is within four walls from
morning till night, with blit few ex
ceptions; and must bear the worrl-
rnent of fretful children, inefficient
servants, weak nerves, and many oth
er perplexities, and she must do this,
day after day, while the husband goee
out from these petty details of home
care, has the benefit of the pure fresh
air, meets with friends, has a social
good time, which all together act as a
charm upon the physical man, and if
he does as he should, he will come
home cheerful and buoyant, and
thereby lighten tbe household life for
bis wife, and drive dull care and
gloom from her careworn brow. Some
men can be all smiles away from
home, but at home they are as cross
as bears; and yet we hear it said on
every side, “Wives, meet your hus
bands with a smile.”

How They Lived.
The North-bound stream of Florid*
excursionists have nearly ceased to
flow. One of the tail-enders leaves
this little incident in Washington:
Tbe train had stopped to water up at
a North Carolina station, which has
recently come into prominence as *
wiater health resort. Two big, white
hotels were in sight over the scrubby,
untitled landscape, with a few “mud
and timber” shanties among the pines.
\n anarchy cart with a stub-tailed
mule and a two-year-old steer hitched
in unison stood near the station. Tho
apparent owner of the cyclone wreck
was a long-legged, dilapidated clay-
eater, with tbe juice of General Tom
Cliugman’s un’versal panacea trick
ling down the corners of his mouth.
A car-window- shot up and a nasal
voice interrogated the native in purest
Bostonese: “My friend, why do yon
harness together such a strangely in
congruous coup'i- as I see yonder?”
Native—“W’icl Tourist—“Why
do you harness a mule aDd a steer to
gether?” Native—“.Stranger, there’s
alius some iilgit axin’ jess sech dern
fool questions, an’ I jess sorter throw
ibet rigout fer bait.” Tourist changes
the subject—“I see no signs of cultiva
tion in this vicinity; how do you peo
ple live?” Native—“We*ns live
off’u blackberries in summer an’ off’n
sick Yankees in winter.” While the
tourist was thinking up something
real sarcastic and cutting the train
moved out.
