A NOVEL RAILROAD.

BOAO TO BE BUILT, OPERATED AND OWNED BY BROTHERHOOD MEN.

Through Rich Territory.

Subscriptions are asked to the stock of new railroad which it is proposed to build on an unusual and unique plan. Its projectors are not well known capitalists anxious to increase their own wealth through the development of a promising but as yet neglected region of territory. It is to be an employees' road, owned, built and operated by members of the various railroad brotherhoods.

The road is to be known as the San Diego, Pacific and Eastern and is to start at the bay front in the city of San Diego, Cal., running thenoo through the city and up the San Diego river in a northeasterly direction. Its further progress is to be through Mission valley and El Cajou valley, where nearly 200 carloads of raisins aro raised each year, together with hundreds of tons of peaches, prunes, apricots, pears, lemons, oranges, almonds and walnuts. Thousands of tons of grain are also raised every year in the valley. The lino then runs through Sycamore Canyon valley, tho Santa Maria valley, the Balleua valley, tho Vallo de San Jose, the San Felipo and tho Vallecitas.

It is claimed by tho projectors of this road that aii theso are among tho mo 1 productive pieces of country in the United States. Leaving the valleys, the road to run across the northern end of the Mohave desert and thence to the lir.o between Nevada and California and thence through the southeast corner of Nevada till it reaches immenso mining regions in tho great coalfleHls of southern Utah. The proposed intention is to make it ultimately a transcontinental line.

It is the method of financiering the road that is its most remarkable feature. In the first place, it is claimed that the land bonus already secured from thoroughly responsible men along the route is almost, equal to the cost of grading the road. No bonds are to be issued, so that there mr.y be no possibility of forcing it out of the ownership of the men who own tho stock. Tho capital stock of tho company is to be $1,000,000 in tho first place, but this sum is to be increased as the work progresses.

Tho stock is to be sold only at par, tho prlco of each share being fixed at 10. Under tho deod of incorporation it is provided that 600 is tho highest number of shares that nny on« can hold. This provision has been inserted to prevent any one person or syndicato securing control of tho property and diverting it from the original plan of tho incorporators. Provision is made for local lodges and divisions of tho different brotherhoods subscribing for stock, and it is suggested that each lodge and division should subscribo one share for each of its members. In this way, it Is pointed out, the control of tho stock will be placed beyond the possibility of manipulation.

No man is to be employed on the road except ho bo stockholder, and the directors and officers aro to be selected fron men in actual service on tho road. The road is to bo a practical demonstration of what labor can do in owning and running a road in-such away that strikes will impossible. It is further pointed out that the support of all the railroad employees is not necessary to carry the projoot tosuccess. If one-fourth of them contribute 50 cents per month, the road can be built and operated successfully.

Reasons are given for choosing tho location solocted. San Diego is the natural gateway on the Pacific coast between the United States and all the Central air' South American countries and Asia as well. This road, when completed, it is claimed, will bo tho most important railroad property in tho United States and one which is to shorten tho run across the oontinent by 34 hours.

For the harbor of San Diego it is claimed that it has no superior in any part of the world and should command the shipping, both export and import, between the United States and all foreign oountries tributary to the Pacific ocean.

Tho road as explored shows a considerably reduced mileage to the east as compared with existing transportation lines. It is south of the snow line and is susceptible of far easier grades than those of any other road. It will penetrate a territory 500 miles squnro now devoid of adequate railroad communications and rich in a'.l tho elements necessary to a prosperous community, and through which rights of way can bo secured free of cost and substantial subsidies obtained.

It Is further claimed that tho company now holds franchises that in tho near future will bo of great value. Tho earnings ot tho road are to bo distributed to the stockholders in dividends. Only stock subscriptions aro to bo used for building. There are to b© no clerks in tho employ of the road. Every officer Is to fill a clerical position and give his personal attention to all tho work. The road, in short, is to free the railroad man from the chains now riveted to hiiu.—Chicago Post.

A Much D«M«end«d Man.

A citizen of New York has recently brought out, at his own expense, a book containing the history of his family for 1,000 years. His tracing of his own descent from the man who first bore his name, so far as is known, and who figured in England as a fighting man during the reign of Alfred tho Great, is sufficiently entertaining. The book* has furnished pleasure to several genealogists, who say that there aro missing links all along the line of descent. The proud inheritor of the name admits that hi* sire, who unhappily lived a life of noverty, was unaware of his lineage.—Now York Sun.

Teetotaler* ©ott!da*t Xfe Without It.

At Malton, in England, the justices of tho peace have granted a special license to sell liquor to a hotel k"':er "for the occasion of the annual terr,^cJano6 demonstration In Castlo Howard park," becaaso "the public had been much inconvenienced in the past" by the absence of such a license.

HAS DESIGNS ON 0HATO0EY.

A Bxety Wentern Girt Writes a tetter to the Fatnoon Speaker. In tho mail received a fow days sinoo Chauncey Ju, Depow found an amusing letter from some unknown admirer. Tho letter referred to the report of Mr. Depew'a alleged engagement to an |8,000,000 heiress which found publication last week. Mr. Depew denied the report, and this letter refers to his denial. The missive Is written on fine lineivpaper and in a strong feminine hand. Tho letter reads

Mr Dbab Mr. Dawrto—Iwrite to express my pleasure at your announcement last Saturday that you are not engaged. As I have boldljr announced for along time that I had designs upon you myself, it would have been somewhat of a disappointment had you been grasped from me. us it were, by ttre' young woman of fortune or otherwise beroro I had bad the opportunity, from a closer point of view, to see if I admired your personality as much as your "wri. ivn and spoken words. I saw you in London 1 S summer, but I had announced my somewhat alarming desire before that, so please do not jlo anything decided in the way of sentiment or ooiwenanoe without giving me some kind of notice, for as there is only one Chauncey M. Depew I shall require some time to readjust my ideas to another plane. With thanks to you for tho pleasure which I frequently receive from your pointed remarks, serious, eomio and otherwise, I am very sinoerely

Tho letter is signed with a dash and comes from a western town. TJio writer, however, gives her address. Mr. Depew laughed heartily over the lotter and said: "Sometimes people try to tell character from handwriting. Judging from this—I mean impartially and not as a man who has boon flattered—I should say that the writer is a girl with a tendency for mischief, generous and impulsive. I feel honored, and I hope I shall see her In London again. I am not afraid of her threat. "I get sonn vory amusing letters sometimes. One remember was from a woman in the west who wrote mo that she was passionately fond of seashells. Sho said that she was so far away from the sea that she never got a chance to gather shells. She suggested that as I was so near the shore I might take somo afternoon off and go down to the seashore and gather her some shells. Then there was a girl who wrote and wanted assistance in purchasing a bicycle. Sho solemnly assured me that sho would not wear bloomers. There are many others, and sometimes I get requests that fairly stagger me."—New York Tribune.

BRICK SHINGLES.

A Buckeye Boy Patents an Invention of Valae to Builders.. An invention of a citizen of Huntington, Vr\ Vu., is causing widespread attention all over tho country and may revolutionize the business of roofing houses. Tho patentee is Charles Wich, formerly of Athens, O.

Several years ago ho went into the business of manufacturing building and paving brick. A fine deposit of clay is located south of the city. Ho conceived tho idea of making-a shingle out of tho same substance, and ho and others have been months in constructing machinery for this purpose, which works nicely. The kiln in which the shingles were placed was opened in tho presence of a number of gentlemen from other cities, and they were tried and pronounced a success.—Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

The Summer Girl's Complexion. A delightful and simple and soothing lotion for the skin is witch hazel and cold cream, and as the summer girl's complexion must be as soft and clear as her skill at athletic sports she should carry some of the cream in a dainty china box when she goes away.

An ounce each of white wax and spermaceti and one-quarter pint oil of almonds. Melt, pour the mixture into a marble mortar, which has been heated by being immersed for some time in boiling water, add very gradually 8 ounces of rosewater and an ounce of witch hazel and assiduously stir the mixture until an emulsion is formed, and afterward until the mixture is nearly cold.—Chicago Tribune.

To prevent pale and delicate children from lapsing into chronic invalids later in life, tbey should take Ayer's Sarsa parilla together with plenty of wholesome f«od aud out door exercise. What they need to build up the system is good red blood.

A Real Dispensation.

Tho colored folk of Glen Allen, Va., wore convinced by a wonderful dispensation of Providence that occurred last Sunday that it pays to attend church. Tho church is close to tho railroad track, and just as the congregation was coming from service a train load of watermelons came along, struck a looso rail, jumped tho track and spilled two or three carloads of juicy melons right In the path of the worshipera. More than enough of the fruit was brol: ?n to afford a fine feast without hurting t'e conscience of tho feasters if consciorco is ro« 11 concerned in a case involving watermelons.

Pont Approve the Woman's Bible. The "Woman's Bible," in which Mrs. Elisabeth Cady Stanton is interested, has failed to meet the approval of any theolo giansa' to read the language in which the Bi'-'.j was written. Though Mrs. Stanton will bo an octogenarian in a fow months, she is full of fun as ever sho was, and she laughs heartily wbon twitted upon the sneering reception that has been given to her efforts to interpret tho language of Moses through tho modem speculations about woman's rights.

TALES OF THE TIMES.

A Witness Who Didn't Want to Be Disturbed While

Talking

to a Gentleman.

Some time sinoo, in southwest Georgia, a murder ease was being tried before a certain judge. Tho stato'a attorneys bad aeon the shooting, and they had an old negro on the witness stand. The negro became intensely interested in the story he was tolling. His big eyes waro fixed upon the lawyer who was questioning him, and he seeiiani think there was no other person in the room. He was trembling with excitement, so rauoh so that he stammered, and ho told hla story as if he was having a strictly private and confidential conversation with tho state's attorney, "An den, boss," he said In solemn and awestruck tones, "j-j-jea' ea I war a-eomln roun de oornah, sah, I seen him 'long o' de lamppos'. I"—"What time was this?" asked the judge.

The witness paused just for a seoond, as if something had disturbed him, but then, without turning his head, he went on? "J-j-jos' oz I war a-comin roun de cornah, boss, I seen him 'long o' do lamppos'. I"—

The judge rapped- the desk boforo him smartly with his gavel. "Stop!" ho said. "The court Is asking you a question. At what time did you oome around the corner?"

Again tho witness stoppod and made a motion with his hand as if he was brushing away a fly from his ear, hut he never turned around and again started to tell his story: "Kz I wins a-sayin, boss, I rounded dat dab cornah, and I seen him 'long o' do"—

The judg^ brought his mallot down with a nolso which almost caused the witness to leap off the stand and roared out: "What do you mean, sir? If you do not answer my question instantly, I shall commit yolil"

The witness turned, faoed the court ancL said in deprecating tones: "L-l-look er yere, boss, doan' you see I'm talkin to'dis gen'lman?"

The lawyers were almost convulsed with laughter, the judge bent his head and shook with merriment, and the witness was allowed to finish his story undisturbed.—Atlanta Constitution.

.•** The Darkles* Drinking Match. Throe country "darkies" came to tho city the other day and stoppod in at a restaurant on Soventh street, near Grayson, to get something to eat. The proprietor of tho place was in a waggish mood, and he decided to have somo fun at the expense of tho country visitors. A largo ioe chest stood at orrt end of the counter. It had glass doors, through which beefsteak, vegetables and fruit could bo plainly seen. At tho bottom of the chest was about an Inch of water whioh came from the molting of the ico above. A rubber hose was in front of the chest to lead off the wufcer when it reachod a certain height. But behind tho chest was another pipe, connected with a hydrant, to bo used to wash out the ohest whon needed. The'proprietor of the restaurant told the colored men he would givo them $5 if fchoy would drink all tho wator that remained in the bottom of the oliost. They jumped at the proposition when they bad examined the chest and saw that there was only about a gallon of water there. The smallest of the three went for the water first. He lay down on the floor and put the end of the hose in his mouth and drank and drank until his eyes bulged and he looked weak. Whon he could drink no longer, he arose and looted nto the chest. It did not appear that the water had receded from the sides a particle. He concluded that he had not drunk as much as he thought he had, and ho tried it again. Each of the three colored men tried this experiment three times, and it did not seem that any of the water had gone out of the chest—In fact, as one of tho colored gentlomen cxclaimod: "Do watah am certainly risin."

This was true. Tho proprietor's waiter had turned on the hydrant faucet lightly when tho men began drinking.—Louisville Courier-Journal. *t

A Good

Chee8®4I¥"'Sl^l#Sl

How truo it is that fame and fortune both hinge on some trivial circumstance! The most successful artist at the annual exhibition of the French salon one year was a young gentleman named Baldwin Sowers.

Mr. Sowers' particular line is the delineation of still life, and so he painted a oheese.

After it was hung somo malicious person slipped Into tho gallery the night before tho oxhlbltlon and cut around hole in tho canvas, completely removing the cheese. When tho oxamining committee wore on their rounds, they camo to the defaced picture and angrily sent for tho artist to give an explanation. An ordinary individual would have been overcome With despair at the outrage. Not so Mr. Sowers. Whon the chairman said sternly: "Whore is tho chces he responded calmly: "Aias, gentlemen 1 1 perceive I have painted it with too great fidelity. The mice have oaten it."

They awarded him the first prize.—New York Sun.

Cat Bate Marriage Fee*.

A rate war in marringofees is threatened in tho Kansas City courts because of tho alleged practice of a probate judge in waylaying couplos seeking marriage and securing their business by making substantial reductions in the usual fees. The justices send all persons applying to them to perform tho ceremony over to the courthouse to get the accessary license. The probate judge's chambers adjoin the marriage lioonso office, and it is claimed that he waylays the couples, marries them and collects the foes, thus depriving tho justices of what they naturally consider their rights. The justices threaten to cut rates away down unless the probate judge quits stealing their matrimonial client*.

Only Spoiled a Good Ballet,

A story as to the thickness of a negro's skull, which oomes near touching the record, Is told and vouched for by the Livingston (Ala.) San. It says that a negro living near York, Ala., was shooting rafts recently with a cap and ball pistol, and tho cap snapped, and the charge failed to explode. The negro turned tho pistol upward Mod looked down the barrel to see what was the matter, when the weapon went off, and the bullet struck him squarely between the eyes. The bullet fell to the floor, flattened out, and tba negro was only hurt to the extent of an inconsiderable flesh wound.

EXCITING &AKE GE0BGB»

last Week a Bear Hnnt Broke the M®.

notony of E*l»t«noe.

Bummnr matrons with babies and summor girls with lovers wars thrown into a fever of excitement by the arrival of the carcass of a big blaok bear at the store of Lewis Burgess, Hague-on-Lake-George, ope day last week, Peter Barnett lives with his brother a little north of the summer settlement of cottages and hotels, and while on his way to work saw a big bear In the lake swimming toward shoro. Calling to his brother to get out the boat, he rushed to tho hGuse for his rifle, found tho weapon, but, as luok would have It, failed to find the cartridges. At the wood pile ho armed himself with a maple club 5 feet long and as thick as a man's arm.

Meantime the bear had oome within 80 rods of the shore, and it was with difficulty that the hunters managed to intercept him." At first the brute had no inclination for a fight and tried only to reach the shore. A gentlo rap or two on the top of the head changed the current of his Ideas, and greatly enraged he swam for the boat. Another rap broke his nose, and he on^o more turned toward tho shoro. He was intercepted, and two well direoted blows of the maple club orushed the animal's skull.

Tho carcass, on being towed ashore, was taken to Mr, Burgess' store and weighed. It tipped the scales at 889 pounds. Several old hunters In the vicinity said that had the animal been provided with its winter fat it would have weighed more than 500 pounds. Harry W. Watrous, the New York artist, secured the skin. It Is In order now for local Nimrods to "stand up in meeting" and say what they would have done, but it requires considerable pluck to tacklo a full gt-own bear in tho lake armed only with a club and from a rowjboat.— Now York World.

HALF A TON OF SILVER.

Arizona Prospectors Find the Largest Nugget Known. From Peach Springs, A. T., comes the story of the finding of a nugget, or bowlder rather, of pure silver, such as thero has been no record of In tho history of mining lij tho wost.t Tho bowlder weighed about half a ton, and its value Is anywhere from $8,000 to $10,000. It was found by William Tucker and John Doyle, both old prospectors.

The find was made on the 15th of June. Tho mon had been prospecting in tho Death valley mining rogion and had started across country to the Grand canyon of the Colorado.

They wcro camped about four miles from Peach Springs, and tho nugget was lying within 800 feet of tho railroad track and not more than 100 feet from the main wagon road. It projected from tho hillside in plain view of the road and stood in such a position that more than one man had probably sat upon it to gaze up or down tho railroad track. Both Doyle and Tucker are old miners, and Tucker especially was struck with the peculiar "feel" of this bowlder. He is familiar with the form silver known as "black metal," found in the dolomite limestone in the Mescal mine in California, and almost intuitively it struck him that here was a piece of the samo black metal.

He tried to lift it, but could not, and then he went and brought Doyle out to help him. A little digging disclosed a bowlder In the shape of an oblong oval, something like the back of a turtle, about UH feet long, of tho same width, and a 'foot thick:—San Francisco Examiner.

Police Being Shaken Up All Over. Commissioner Roosevelt's Hawkshaw methods in New York are catching and tho various officials of numerous cities all over the country are making midnight tours after dorelict public servants. Perhaps the most systematic effort in this direction is that of the mayor and ohief of police of Macon,* who have taken every precaution possible to insure that tlioir endeavors shall boar good fruit. Last week the local newspapers announced in leaded typo the fact that the tour, which is to last over five nights, would begin that evening at 8 o'clock.

Tho route to be takon was minutely stated, and tho various points of delinquency for which the alert officials would boon tho keen lookout wero carefully catalogued. Gamblers, excise violators, sleepy policemen and disorderly characters will be hauled up short "If caught." The mayor is determined, he says, to know what goes on aftor dark, and if things are not going right ho will adjust them. There can bo no doubt of the succoss of his honor's soheme, whioh will prove Macon a model town.

An Investigating Alligator.

A 10 foot alligator crawled out of the St. Johns river at the foot of Main streot. Jacksonville, ono day last week, and leisurely waddled up tho street toward the center of the city. Main street is one of tbe principal streets of Jacksonville, and the appearance of the alligator created a good deal of consternation among tbe hurdreds of people there. Every man with a pistol started shooting at the reptile, but tho bullets didn't worry it a little bit. After promenading four blooks and squelching with its tail a too familiar newsboy, it received a wound from a rifle which caused it to slow up a little. Then it started up a leaning telegraph pole, thus exposing its vulnerable parts, and was soon shot to death. Nine big alligators have been killed recently at the foot of Main street, bnt tills Is the first that has ventured uptown. —New York Sun.
