Pennsylvania Railroad Company Has 226 Who Are Over 80 Years.

THREE ARE OVER NINETY

THEY WERE RETIRED IN 1900 WHEN THE COMPANY ESTABLISHED THE FIRST RAILROAD PENSION SY8TEM.

. Pittsburg, Jan. 3. Probably unique among tbe pension rolls of the country Is- that 6f the Pennsylvania Railroad company, which, according to a compilation just completed, is shown to have 226 employes who are over eighty years of age, and who were retired when they were seventy years, or younger, and have received annual pensions ever since. A similar compilation made recently shows that the Pennsylvania railroad has 1,350 active employes who have been with the road forty years or more, and 1,013 additional men who, before they were retired on pension, had served the road more than forty years. The number of employes on the Pennsylvania pay roll who are over eighty yeaxs of age is shown in the following table: Age No. $9 . . . . . . . . 6 88 4 $7 .. . 12 6 14 85 26 S4 ., .. ,.. 23 S3 .. 26 82 37 81 37 80 ... 41 Total ..226 In addition to these employes there are three who are. 90 years of age or more: Andrew Abels, of Philadelphia, who was born May 23, 1817; was retired January 1, 1900; David B. Price, of the Sunbury division, was born November 3, 1818 and was retired January 1, 1900; he has been with the company as an active employe since 1854; Andrew Neblinger of Philadelphia division, was born March 17, 1819, and retired on a pension January 1, 1900, after 40 years of continuous service with the road. These three men were retired when the Pennsylvania railroad in 1900 established America's first railroad pension system. These unusual statistics are not brought out in the reports of the railload pension fund of the Pennsylvania

which in the first nine years of its existence has paid to retired employes of the railroad a total of $3,445,793.77.

GOLD HIOERS.

Th Aurohuaeos of Colombia Worship th Yollow Metal. Infesting the snow clad slopes' of ran kissed Ahorqaeta. ;the Sentinel." one of the highest peaks in tbe Sierras de San Marta, in northern .Colombia, Is one of the strangest tribes of Indians known to ethnologists tbe Aurohuaeos. Tbeir name means "bidden gold," or '"gold hiders." and that is Just what they are. They worship the yellow metal, dividing their devotions between gold and tbe sun. Tbe Aurobuaco will do anything for gold. Murder Is nothing If it gains him tbe tiniest bit of gold. He works for any kind of money. When he gets enough silver or copper or paper money he changes it for gold and then hurries with it to his mountain fastnesses, there to hide It. and come back for more. Why be wants it is impossible to say. No Aurobuaco ever was known to part either with gold dust or gold coin. His neighbors, the Talemancas. are wholly different. They regard gold or emeralds, also found in Colombia, as simply a ma' uiu of exchange for whisky or aguadiente. The Talemanca is superstitious to au absurd degree and wears a wild turkey's foot on a necklace as a talisman against sickness and bad luck. He worships 6 re as the cleansing and redeeming god. In this favored region is plenty of alluvial gold which only needs to be takeu out to make the republic of Colombia rich and powerful. But the Aurohuaeos spoil the best laid plans of men who come there to mine. They let men dig and dig and wear tbeir fingers away washing tbe precious yellow grains out of tbe earth, and then they murder the miners for their treasure. This has been done countless times. Many's the skeleton that whitens tbe sides of "tbe Sentinel." New York World. Beethoven's Last Days. Beethoven bad troubles besides the scourge of deafness. Throughout his life tbe conduct of bis brothers irked and grieved him, and when on tbe death of one of them he adopted his orphaned son that nephew's outrageous conduct broke his heart. Then he felt the sting of poverty. Dying, he would have lacked the very necessaries of a waning life had it not been for the Philharmonic Society of England. The society has never boasted of the fact, but a fact it is that a doucer of 100 sent by it to Beethoven at his last gasp made death less a martyrdom to the famous musician than it otherwise would have been. London Graphic.

Howe's Pictures. The most beautiful painting cannot compare with nature itself. That's the reason Lyman- H. Howe's scenes of sunset and moonlight at the Gennett Thursday, January 6, are incomparably beautiful. East Lynne. "East Lynne" is almost half a century old, yet people are as vividly stirred by. it now as those of the Civil War times were and as the ones in the next fifty years will be. Joseph King, who produced The Xinety and Nine, the great rural play that ran for six months at the Academy of Music, New York will present his New York company in this wonderful play at the Gennett tonight.

Exception. Teacher As I have been telling you, there are two general classes of workers. Tommy, does your father make his living by using bis brains or by using his muscles? Tommy Neither one, ma'am. He's a policeman. Chicago Tribune.

"The Chorus Lady. Rose Stahl. who is to appear at the Gennett on Wednesday, January 12 in James Forbes' comedy, "The Chorus Lady," is an actress who grants herself no fads and whose one hobby is domesticity. Miss Stahl is never seen in public cafes or other places whero actresses, as a rule, are to be found. Practically all of her time she spends in her apartments at the hotel where she is living. She is an incessant reader and writes a great deal. Her favorite author is Balzac. Of all her possessions there is nothing she prizes more highly than a medal given her for proficiency in cooking. This was obtained from the Convent of the Sisters of the Sacred Heart in Montreal, from which she was graduated in her seventeenth year.

rife with dramatic incidents in the life of the famous hunter and the scenes are all thrilling with the atmosphere of the early American wilderness. Several full blooded Indians and a pack of Siberian wolves are especially carried by the company. "Three Twins." The cheering announcement is made that we are to have "Three Twins,'" the delightful, funny musical comedy, which ran for ten months in New York at the Herald Square theater aud five months at the Whitney theater, Chicago, and which comes to the Gennett theater on Thursday, Jan. 13th. This comedy is in the hands of a remarkably clever company of players, chief of whom are: Thomas Whiffen. Edward Wade, Hugh Fay. Neil Kelly, Russell Lennon. Henry Schiimann-Heink, Florine Sweetnian, Elizabeth Caimody, Helen Du Bois. Ida Paetz and all the other Broadway favorites.

Major O'Laughlin. the original juggling musketeer and baton twirler in an entirely novel act with the latest motion pictures make up a big program for the week's entertainment.

Egotism of Genius. When Wordsworth. Southey and Coleridge weje walking together, and Coleridge remarked that the day was so fine '"it might have been ordered for three poets." the gentle Wordsworth promptly exclaimed; "Three poets: Who are the other two?" Disraeli, when a mere youth, wrote to his sister that he had leard Macauley, Shell aud Grant speak, "but between ourselves I could floor them all." And again he said, "When I want to read a good book 1 write one."

His Birthday. "When were you born?" asked an Inquisitive of Robert Louis one day. "May 10. 1SS0." was the instant reply, and Robert Louis and Fanny Stevenson exchanged glances. This was their wedding day.

The Girl From Rector's. The comedy which caused such a sensational success at Weber's Music Hall in New York last year, "The Girl From Rector's" will be seen at the Gennett theater on Monday, January 10th.

"Mary's Lamb." Richard Carle will be the attraction at the Gennett theater on Wednesday,

The newcomers to ; the cast are Miss Adele Rafter, a j statuesque comedienne and Joseph

Coffman, who has the part of the darky servant. The chorus is as large, rosy and nimble as ever. The seats went on sale this morning.

"The Clansman.

A Terrifying Smoke. Tbe Mexican peon smokes cigarettes made of tbe dried leaves of tbe merrihuana weed. One of the peculiar effects of tnerrihuana smoking is to distort the bigness of all animals, making them of enormous size and horrible shape. The smoker is lilted with a horrible fear, something like the horrors brcight on by delirium tremens A kitten or a puppy to his distorted vision appears as some terrible creature. A common sight in Mexico is to see a swarthj "greaser." armed to the teeth, flee in terror from a small dog, while be wonld fearlessly attack any man with his knife or his machete. New York World.
