A few evenings ago a train made up of two ordinary passenger coache3 and a baggage car pulled into the Union station from the yard, prepared to go out over one of the branch roads, says the Providence Journal, The hands of the station clock point ed to a few minutes of the schedule time of departure and the shivering passengers who had been standing on the station platform laden with bun dies quickly filled the coaches. Men and women alike sought seats In both of the coaches, when a brakeman entered the car and after answering a score of questions in the affirma tive that the head coach was the smoking car a fat woman loaded down with bundles approached him and asked: "Say, mister, is this the smoking car?" "Of course it is the smoking car," "Does it look like said the brakeman. a parlor car?" The fat woman pulled her cloak closer about her shoulders before she replied: "It looks like a cattle car and it feel3 like an ice box," she said. "Evi dently you folks think the people who ride on thi3 line are paying for cold storage and impudence." Buffalo Herds. "There are not, all told, more than 1,500 buffalo remaining in the United States and Canada," said Mr. C. J. Jones of Grand Canyon, Ariz. Mr. Jones has for years borne the sobriauet of "Buffalo Jones," because of his efforts to perpetuate the bison breed. lie is also distinguished for his successful experiments in crossing the buffalo with the domestic cattle, producing a high-bred animal, to which he has given the name of "catalo." "The largest single herd of buffalo remaining," said he, "is owned by the Flathead Indians of Montana about 400. The second largest is on the Austin Corbin estate, in New Hampshire. Next comes the herd of Scotty Phillips, in North Dakota, and there is also a fair herd on the big ranch of Mr. Goodnight in the Texas pan handle. The catalo, a cross between the bison and common cattle, is an animal that has the traits cf both progenitors; not so wild and hard to manage as the buffalo, and yet a good bit shyer than its dam."

Telegraph News by Direct Wiro from All Over Indiana. Indianapolis, May 11. An nfliiav5t on information, sworn to by Leon 11 Morton, clerk of the railroad commission, has been filed in the Marion county criminal court charpin the Pennsylvania railroad With having violated the full crew law, passed by the last lrjrtslaturo. This step was taken by Martin IIufTir. special counsel, retained by the railroad commission to take tlircwph t; the su preme court of the United States th? question as to the constitutionality of the ful crew law. t, Case Is an Agreed One. The details of the atlidavit wor? agreed on between the railroad commission and the railroads in the state. At a conference the railroads decided that the atlidavit should be filed against the Pensylvania. A similar allidavit will be filed aerainst the Wabash railroad at Lafayette later. This was part of the agreement. The affidavit filed charges that the Pennsylvania railroad operated its mail train No. 11, running from the east to Indianapolis; without a full crew, as provided for by the law of 1907. Suit lr? Within State Laws. Two facts concerning this affidavit are of interest, aside from the principal story of the lieginning of the fight to determine the constitutionality of this law. In the first place, the atlida vit affects a train that is doing an in terstate traffic business, the affidavit referring only to that part of the trip that was within the state, however. This is in line with the Information that the railroads were willing to con form to the law so far as their lo cal, Indiana trams were concerned those operating wholly within the state. Interstate Business Objects. Only the trains doing an interstate traffic business have the railroads re fused to equin with a full train crew. even while these trains are within the state. The second fact to be noted U that this affidavit concerns onlv a mall train, and doe. not mention either a passenger or a freight train. Martin Ilugg says that the case involving a mail train is substantially like ong that would involve the passenger or the freight train.

Last Fourth of July, while Representative Watson was picnicking with friends along the river, little Mary Carr, dauhter of Owen L. Carr, district chairman, wrote the name of the representative, tother with her own, on a piece of paper, placed the paper in a bottle and threw it into the river. Wat son dismissed the incident from hia mind, never giving it a thought. Last Monday he told Mrs. Watson that he had dreamed the bottle had been found. Wednesday eveninghewas surprise when William Moore told him that he had picked up the bottle, with the contents intact. A local "town whittler," pretending to be versed in such things, explains Watson's dream ns "the result of telepathic communication between the finder of the bottle and the subjective mind of Mr. Wat son while Mr. Watson's objective mind was at rest."

"I was walking the Circle yesterday and saw a girl so red-headed that I'd be willing to take out fire insurance on her.

IT HAS BLOWN OVER

Prospect That Pdexico and Cuate. mala Would Sever Diplomatic Relations Ends. DIAZ WILL DROP EIS DEMAND Will Net Lsist on Cabrera Giviiu Up Assassination Suspects. Has a Scheme to Humiliate the C?n tral America State and lispress Mexico's lla sentment. Washington. May 11. The Mexican ambassador. Creel, authorizes the Associated Press to say that the trouble between Mexico andGuatomala, which for several days has threatened t terminate the diplomatic relations between the two countries, has been definitely and satisfactorily adjusted. Creel has received advices from his home government to this effect, to the basis of. the agreement the bassador declined to talk. "You state, however," he said, "that As ay the satiftrouble is now over, and that a factory agreement has been reported." Mexican. Demand Is Dropped. The following press dispatch has been received from the City of Mexico: "The Guatemalan affair has been settled. Mexico will not persist in her demand for the extradition of General Jose Lima and of Colonel Onofro Pone, charged with complicity in the assas sination of General P.arillas. Diplo matic relations will not be severed. Sonor Gamboa, Mexico's minister to Guatemala, will be sent to Salvador. A Mexican consul will attend to this country's affairs in Guatemala. Would Humiliate Guatemala. At the same time Mexico will not give Senor J iron. Guatemalan mini a ter to Mexico, his passports, the Idea being to humiliate Guatemala and express Mexico's resentment for Cabrera's conduct during the affair. The state department will shortly publish the history of the entire matter with the official correspondence, in this way showing to the world what this government terms the bad faith of Guate mala." Hoot Gives Diaz a Hint. Dispatches received during the day at the state department and at th? Mexican embassy had indicated that there would be a settlement of the trouble without a diplomatic break Mexico determined to take a cenerous view of the situation on the ground that further estrangement now would jeopardize permanent peace for the coining conference in Nicaragua.

New York, May 11. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Woather conditions unseasonable al most beyond precedent have retarded retail trade and ajrricultur to an ex tent that cannot yet be measured, but the loss will be considerable. Spring opened with the brightest prospects for business and crops, hut recordbreaking results can no longer be at tained. May this far has brought com plaints of excessive cold from almost every section of the country, and in many cases it is found that mercantite collections have been slow on that account. Freight congestion is relieved, however, and traffic is very heavy, partly in preparation for fall and winter business, which Is viewed with confidence, while last year's pressure causes a big movement of coal and attractive price3 bring a vast tonnage of wheat to primary markets. The outlook in the iron and steel industry was never brighter. Steel rails are constantly ordered, much new business being in light rails for trolley lines; and makers of agricultural implements are purchasing bars freely. Textile mills are still actively engaged as a rule, but in the primary markets there Is some irregularity. Bryan's Hanker Cousin Fails. Centralia, 111., May 11. Thomas S.
