NO REDUCTION.
Capt. Raoul Denies That Any Such Order
Has Been Issued.
In the Constitution of Friday mention
was made of a rumor to the etfect that an
order had been israed by the Central rail
road reducing wages.
The Savannah Times says: A Times re
porter called at the Central Railroad Bank
this morning, and ending Capt. W. O.
Raoul, the president of the road. In bia
office, called Hie attention to the article In
question. In answer Cspt. Raoul said:
"Ho. air, there is not the least truth in
the report. No such order has been Issued,
nor will it bs for the present. As long a,
the business of the Central railroad will
warrant it, no reduction in wages will be
moved Irom bis plantation by order of

made, bat shoald the necessity for such an
event arise, as much as it Is to be deplor
ed, a cut will have to be made. However,
I am pleased to say that no such necessi
ty now exists, nor do I see in in the near
future. I can readily see how the em
ployes mast be effected by such reports,
for it is well known that their daily wages
is the only resource upon which they de
pend for a livelihood.”
‘‘Well, has there been an order issued
for the discharge of a certain number of
men in each department?”
“None at all; it ia not the policy of the
Central to do business in such manner. A
corps of men sufficient to do the business
of the road is always employed. Of course
as business fluctuates so does the number
of men employed. When a man is not
needed he is simply dispensed with and
each head of the various departments is
looked to to have no more men in his em
ploy than he needs to transact the business
of bis department. As the quiet season
approaches, eaci head of a department
commences to let out a few men, doing 10
gradually, until the minimum number [•>
reached. But we never Uiue an order to
discharge a certain per centage of our
men.”
Captain Raoul farther stated a compari
son of the pay roll of the Central railroad
with other roads in Georgia, wonld show
that the Central railroad paid a high if not
higher wsger than any others, and that
it was very slow to reduce the wages. He
showed the reporie * a comparative chart
of the expenditures, earnings, mileage and
wages paid to the employes of tne road in
the last thirteen years, and the reporter
was struck with the factt iat even in years
when business was at its lowest eb •>, the
wages paid by it were equal to those paid
In years of its greatest prosperity.
“So far aa I am individually concerned,'
said Capt. Raoul, ‘ I am decidedly in favor
of the largest possible wages being paid to
the employes of the road, from the fact
that we thus secure the best men, get the
best work aud have a more contented and
happy element arouud us. My pilicy is
to give the highest wages that business
can pay, a id at the same time do that
business with profit.”

it whether or no, and nawthin’ must do
but for him to show me his p'ints an’ tell
me 'ow on common quiok he was to take
nold and chaw. J had just got rid of this
beast an' his owner when ’long come an
other, a white dorreg with a black spot on
his eye, led by a feller who said the beast
was called “Yaller Fever” in his neighbor
hood because he was so quick in c&tchin’.
I began to get mad. I went an’ looked at
that paper an’ saw the artickle was all
right. 8o I jest set mv teeth right hard
and made up my mind to get a fire shovel
au J if the men who brought purps down
stairs didn’t take ’em oat pretty quick to
let ’em have it.
“ Well, sir, the dorregs that were brought
here to-day were enough to open a bench
show. All kinds, I tell you, from a mon
grel terrier that was not much on the bite,
but was a heavy barker, to a bow-legged
bu ldog, with au undershot jaw, warranted
to hold on till they sawed his head off.
Most of’em were curs that wouldn’t bite
anything except meat. If I had wanted a
watch dog I wouldn’t a’ taken any o’ them.
“No, sir,” growled the engiaeer as he be
gan to shovel viciously at his coal. “If I
coaid catch the party as pnt that artickle
in the paper I wouldn’t leave enough of
him to bury in a piller case.”
Upon Inquiring above the barkeeper's
features underwent a wicked stni'e.
“Guess the engineer’s mad, ain’t he?
Good many dogs been Timing him.” he
said. “I don’t know who put the adver
tisement io. 8 irae kind of a joke. I ex
pected to have dogs trooping through here
while the crowd waa drinking beer. Might
have been a mistake, though. I sent most
of the dog sellers to No. 7 West Twenty-
second street.”
No 7 West Twenty-second street is,
however, a private dwelling, engineerless
and wi h no canine longings, and the kin

up a chorus of shrieks at the idea ot a sharp

How the EngaKsmont Is Arranged and
the Wedding Cnnduoted.
A writer in the Paris Fignro has re
cently taken upon himself tbe task of
teaching people how to live in grand
style. In a recent article he has ex
plained the correct ceremonial of a
French marriage and ita preliminaries.
First of all the match-makers, parents,
and friends held all kinds of meetings
and confabulations at halls, at the
theatre, at the races, in all the fash
ionable meeting places. If all the in
formation obtained about the two par
ties is satisfactory an interview is ar
ranged. Middle class people arrange
this first meeting at the Opera Cont
inue, the most correct and decorous of
atl Parisian theatres. The aristocrats
prefer the churches of Saint Ciotiido
or Thomas d’Aquin. The young man
is told that the young lady will wear
such and such a hat, and concealed
furtively behind a pillar, he examines
her ana decides whether she pleases
him or not. If her parents are less
severe, the first meeting may take
place in a friendly house, at a picture
exhibition, at a flower-show, or what
not; and the parties are allowed not
only to see each other, but to exchange
a few words. The following day a re
ply has to be given. If it is a negative
on the part of the young woman, her
father writes to the young man, thank
ing him for the honor of his demand,
and regretting for some reason or an
other not to be able to receive it favor
ably. If it i9 affirmative, the mother
writes and invites the young man to
call upon her in the afternoon. The
young man then sends a white bouquet
to tho young woman, who he may con
sider to bo his fiancee, and until the
marriage is celebrated he must contin
ue to send every morning a bouquet of
roses, camellias, gardenias, or violets.
Two or three days after his accep
tance the contract is signed, the en
gagement ring offered—a sapphire, a
pearl, or a ruby, never a diamond—
and the young man is invited to dine
in the family of his future wife every
night. The marriage is celebrated six
weeks or two months after the engage
ment—that is to say, just time enough
is left to buy the corbeille and trosseau.
Tho corbeille consists of diamonds and
iocn shawls, cashmere wraps, two ope
ra cloaks, four ball dresses, zibehne
furs, a scent bottle, a watch, a purse
ful of golden pieces, a catd case, a
pearl necklace aud a dress of Alencon
point lacs. The fiancee sends these
objects to the brine on the day of the
signature of tho marriage contract, a
ceremony to which all friends and ac
quaintances are invited. The bride
wears a rose colored dress on this oc
casion; the wedding presents are ex
hibited, with the names of the givers,
the corbeille is shown on a separate
table, and ail the guests, after signing
their names at the foot of the contract,
walk ronnd and examine tho presents.
The civil marriage before the mayor
is a pure formalitv, at which nobo ty is
present except the parties concerned
and the necessary witnesses. The fol
lowing day the religions marriage is
celebrated with as much pomp as yon
please. The bride wxara a white satin
dress, with a lace veil over her hair,
and a wreath of orange blossoms.
The face is uncovered and the dress
high necked.
Tlie rest of the ceremony does not
differ from that practiced in England
and America. There is a wedding
breakfast and a honeymoon trip, and
very often the couple so married do
not live happily ever afterward.

Tears of a Babv,
Detroit Free Press,
I think there ia no sadder eight on
earth than a baby's tears. To see tbe
little round face that looks as if it
were only made for laughing all twist
ed up in a snarl of packers, tbe bright
eyes squinted out of sight, and great,
real tears conning down the pudgy
cheeks, is enough to make a stoic weep
in sympathy. Ilia as if the man in
the moon were crying. I knew an
English father who, whenever one of
his babies—and there was a host of
them—cried, wonld sav in tones of
comical distress, “he’d rather see a
five pun note than one of thoee tears
any day,” and it seemed to thorn little
ones to be the height of devotion and
■elf denial on his pare. Mrs. Paddock,
a writer o( Salt Lake City, telle a pa
thetic story of a broken hearted wife
whose first baby never cried aloud bat
wept in silence ail the time. Sleeping
or waking the tears flowed from its
eyes and in a few weeks it died, ita
mother said, of a broken heart. It
had shed all tbe tears ita mother had
repressed before its birth, and its
weeping (ace was a symbol of the (ace
of Utah. In antithesis to these aad
tacts is a memory we nearly all can
conjure up of some fat, rascally baby
who would cry ant, cry and cry until
every member of the family was enlist
ed in his cause, when he wonld sud
denly unbutton his eyes and lo I not a
tear would be there. It had been ‘
crocodile bawl of tbe driest grief.

Th. absurdity of It.
London Truth.
The genteel British funeral, only just
emancipated from the mockery ol
scarfs, hat bamls, ostrich feathers and
undertakers’ upholstery generally, bids
(air to become as absurd in a different
way. The floral fremy is being car
ried to ridiculous and grotesque
lengths. I can understand a few flow
ers being scattered upon the grave of
an innocent child, or even of a yoanj
girl—“Sweets to s the sweets,” by al
means—that is to say,tn moderation.
Bat to eeo pome hoary statesman or
city capitalist bnried under a carload
of costly, hot altogether inappropriate,
vegetables ia really too absurd. Take
some old general. Why should his
coffin be piled with lilies of the vailey
and maidenhair ferns? Was he a lily
of the valley, even when he was
young? Did uo look in the least like a
lily of the valley of latoyeara, when he
told hia old bachelor stories in the dab
smoking room? Not a bit. Surely it
would be more decent to put hia eword
by hia aide and "hie martial cloak
jsronnd him,” and bury hits like
vine |man; ,: ‘--

How To Cure Twins.
A married lady recently sent a note
to a newspaper to get a recipe to cure
tbe whooping cough in n pair of twina.
By a deplorable mistake a recipe for
pickling onions was unconsciously in-

received this answer through the “An

A Cur.nlna old Moonshiner.
Nashville American.
One of the cases to be tried before
the Federal Coart, now in session at
Knoxville, is that ot an old mountain
eer, who has been making whisky for
more than ten years. He was able
during that whole time to evade tbe
law. He did the stilling under his
house and arranged for the smoke to
■ass through the chimney. Water waa
nought in pipes under ground and tbe
slops carried away in tbe same man
ner. He alwaye managed to bare leu
than five gallons on hand when the
marshals came around. They knew
be wu making “wild-cat,” bat were
unable to find the still. Every few
seeks they would visit the place and
search tbe mountains. His plan wu
recently discovered by accident.
