OF
Passenger Agents Wonder Eow Long
Dull Times and the Grip Will
Knock Out Their Business.
FEW TEAYELERS ARE GOIXG WEST
Adjutant General iicClelland Greatly Wor
ried lj the Rioting in the
Coke Country.
PLANS TO BEAT HOTELS ODT OP MEALS.
Loctl Ectteh-Iral Hskirg imrgtmuli to Altrxfl tie
intil Kitting.
Passencer agents are wonderinjr if the
country has gone to the 'Memnition bow
wows," for they can't account for the won
derful falling oS in business. All sorts ot
arguments are advanced to account for it.
Some claim the grip aas irightened the
people, and they are afraid of being at
tacked away from home, while others insist
the times are hard and money is scarce.
Henry Carpenter, the agent at the Union
station, saj-s the through business is very
licht He has come to the conclusion that
nobody is traveling West. He does not be
lieve it is for lack of money, because he was
in ew York last week, and the travel out
of the city was insignificant. The local
passenger traffic is always good.
Afraid or Getting Sick in Chicago.
Thomas S. Spear, of the Union Pacific,
cites the case of a woman who wanted to go
"West a few days ago, but she was afraid she
would catch the grip iti Chicago and die.
The woman was built on the hysterical plan,
liut Mr. Spear is inclined to thinfc that the
epidemic has injured the passenger busi
ness. The little Lake Erie bobs up in the
shuffle with a good showing so far this year,
but still General Passenger Agent Clark
complains with the others of dullness. Last
vtMr the road's passenger earnings were
35 000 more than for the year previous, and
up to date the record is ahead of last season.
The Luke Erie li3sn't much cause to be
sorrowiul, but it does demonstrate that
Pitisbuig is growing rapidly, or else the
people nowadays travel more than they
useil to.
Mr. Clark thinks the prospects for the
excursion business are very good. The road
will put on a parlor car about the middle of
June to Buffalo and a sleeper to Thousand
Islands and Lake Chautauqua.
The All-AbsorblngltojcottTalk.
The bovcott of the Chicigo and Altnu
is the absorbing topic in passenger
circles. An agent said yesterday:
"A boycott is cowardly, and I can't
understand why sensible managers will
al!o it. Public sympathy is always with
the under clog if Ins caue is good, and in
thi case, as of yore, the people are with the
A lion. The lint; is sure to win the light, and
injke the other roads very weary in the
end. Tr.e Western Association nin either
support the Alton in it determination to
juy commissions or didmurf. E. A. Eorri
and J. K. Wood, of the Pennsylvania lines,
arc credited with fathering the first bovcott,
but 1 think Illanchard and Godd.ird forced
tins one on the lines. I hope they will be
leit most beautifully. They deserve it."
DOESKT AGKEE WI1H THEH.
Dr. loirs' Ideas of the Itacial Fight Against
lticrlui trillion.
In strong contrast to the sentiments de
livered at the colored people's meeting in
Eureka Hall, Arthur street, on Friday
night, an- the views of Ilev. R. S. Laws,
L. V., Chairman o." the Committee on
Grievances of the Non-Denominational
Colored Ministerial Council of Human
Eights, regarding the racial fight against
discrimination on account ol color. Dr.
L ivis said in an interview yesterday:
'Tl.e illogic.il explanation of the real
estr.ie agents lor their unlawful discrimina
tion arainst colored citizens either exposes
lheif ignorance ot constitutional and legis
1 itive law, or their loc:.l prejudice against
colored citizens a a whole. They seem to
have forzotten that all peoples named by
lieiu in an issue of a Pittsburg paper on the
'it int. are oi me uaucisian race,
trout European nationalities, except
tlic colored, who are o natively
Americanized, civilized, Christianized,
systematized and socialized, that some of us
are too white to be discriminated against by
these agents until they have placed us side
by side with the while mau. The colored
r.ice in this country is as socially fashion
able as native white Americans and far
more so than foreigners and being sustained
bv racial statistics of over 8,000,000, two
tenths of w horn are worth more than seven
tenths of the whole citizenship of Alle
gheny county."
THE SAME KIND OF AIB.
Why Yesterday Keinlmled Colonel Dawson
of a Canadian Trip.
Colonel Sam Dan son was sunning himself
yesterday when he suddenly remarked, "A
day Hke this always reminds me " and
then he reached out and nabbed a
band 'ul of the atmosphere. Satisfied
tnat it was the same, he
continued: "I was out iu Beller Falls, K.
H., as manager ot 'Laramie's Comiques'
some years ago when the mow went tiruke,
but had a number of bills that remained in
tact. The Yankees had about decided to
square accounts by pounding me when a
regular Hibernian show struck- the town
and I struct the manager, a close-fisted fel
low, tor a job. His advance agent was on a
spree, and he offered me the place at 10 a
week.
"Anything was money, so I took it on
condition that he left me money enou;h to
pay the bills. I started ont and made a
number of dates, and then headed for Can
ada. I wired back to him: 'Going to
Canada; will smuggle you paper for J100;
duty is $300. He at once answered: 'That
js part of aeent's duties.' I answered: Not
at $10 per,' and he put up the money. I
booked his show there, and was able to get
back to ew York on the strength of the
hundred."
SNIPE ON 10ASI.
A I'alrly Good Pan on the Little Wader
Brought Out by a Poor Dinner.
It was at the underwriters' banquet given
recently at a certain clubhouse. The menu
was rather thin, and snipe on toast was the
course. The birds were diminutive, which
led one of the diners to ask what kind of a
fowl it was.
"Oh, that's a club bird," answered an
other insurance mau sitting near.
"A club bird7 Why, what do vou
mean?"
"Well, it is all bill and no meat," was the
reply. Tableau.
K0T AS BAD AS BEP0BTED,
But Hebrews Are Tired of Russian Taxes
and Restrictions.
A meeting of Hebrews is to be held in
Chicago this week to devise some method of
relieving their brethren in Itussia. Beni
Ordmain, representing his people in Odessa,
passed through the city yesterday bound for
the Windy City.
He said his people were not subjected to
violence, but their trade and Intercourse are
greatly restricted by tho Government, The
mm
hi
taxes arc .very burdensome, and the Rus
sians are taught to hate the Hebrews, to turn
their attention awny from the tyrannical
acts of the Cur' official agents. Mr. Ny
smoky, of this city, accompanied him to
Chicago.
HELD XX SUSPENSE;
General McClelland Will Be Glad When the
Trouble Is Over.
Adjutant General William McClelland
returned to Harrisburg last evening. He
said he had received several telegrams from
the coke region during the day stating that
everything was quiet, but trouble is antici
pated when the meeting at Mt. Pleasant is
held to-morrow.
The General was asked how he liked his
job. After hesitating a Ions time he said:
"You see I haven't answered your
question. Few people realize what
it menus to call out the
military in times of peace, and I have been
depressed since this trouble occurred with
the responsibility that rcstson my shoulders.
By a mere turn of the hand, an accident, the
whole region might have been dyed in blood,
and I can't praise too highly the behaviour of
the officers and meu, and above all, the people
of the coke country who respected the au
thority ot the State. Iu times of war every
thing is plain. A soldier never shoots until
he has something to aim at, but in this in
stance the boys were liable in case they
fired to kill the innocent as well as the
offenders. Do I like my job? Well, you
have mv answer."
THE SCOTCH-IRISH MEETING.
Railroads and the Itlver Lines Offer Low
Kates to Louisville.
The third annual meetieg of the Scotch
Irish of America will be held in Louisville.
beginning Hay 14, and continuing until the
17th. Colonel Herron and Colonel Echols,
the latter a member of .the Executive Com
ini tee, are anxious to see a good representa
tion present lrom Pittsburg. The railroads
ofler one fare for the trip, and the Pittsburg
and Cincinnati Packet Line will furnish
low rates. Colonel Echols said the only ob
jection to the river was that business men at
this pcrioil of the year oan't snare the time
to make the trip, which would be delight
lul. As Pittsbnrg is a ereat Scotch-Irish pen.
ter Colonel Echols thinks that not less than
50 persons will go. C. W. McKeehan.
of Pniladelphia, Secretary of the State As
sociation, writes that considerable interest
is beiug luaniicted in the East, and he ex
pects to have quite a delegation from the
Quaker City. Mrs. Thaw has notified the
managers that she will be present A meet
ing of tl.e local Scotch-IrMi will be held in
a few days to stir up enthusiasm.
Among the speakers lor this year are
Buckalew, Breckinridge and Dr. J. H.
Bryson, of Alabama. Dr. John Hall, of
Xew York, will close the convention witn a
sermon. The proceedings of -last year's
meeting in Pittsburg have been issued in a
neat volume by Secretary Floyd.
B3ATING HOTELS OUT OF MEALS.
How a Xonng Fellow Camo to Grief at the
Jlononjaliela Bouse.
"Hotels run on the American plan are
frequentlv beaten out of meals by unscrupu
lous people," remarked Clerk Carney at the
ilonougahela House yesterday. "It requires
considerable watchfulness to keep track ol
everybody who goes into the dining room.
We had one experience with a deadbeat
when the British Iron and Steel delegates
were here. The house was crowded,
and at such a time a man
would have an excellent opportunity
to get his meals without paying for them.
Thia fellow was a bold one, "and it was his
forwardness that got him into trouble. He
used to come in everyday and leave his grip
in the cigar store near the door. When he
ate his meals he would sit around in the
lobby, read the newspapers and pick his
teeth like other guests who were putting up
the price. The cigar man's tusDicions were
aroused, and be notified us.
"The young man was watched, and he
was yanked up and roasted oefore a lot of
people in the corridor. His lace became
crimson, and he wanted to know what he
owed the house. 'Vou know better than we
do,' remarked Manager Kellv, and the chap
was glad to escape without being locked
up."
If 0T PAUPEKS THIS TIME.
A larty or Scandinavian Immigrants Go
West to rami.
A party of over 400 immigrants, mostly
Scandinavians, arrived in the city last
eveniug from the East. Of the number 329
h cat to Chicago, a tev went out on the
Panhandle and some remained in Pitts
burg. Agent Pitkin was happy. "These are the
lmys," he said, "who mate good citizens,
lou can alnays bank on the Swedes and
Scandinavians. They are law-abiding, and
soon become first-class farmers. There is
plenty of room in America for such people."
TENjrTSOH AHD THE VIOLET.
He Fell Down on His Knees on Finding tho
l'lrst of a Season.
It is related that while Tennyson was
walking with a friend one evening in the
early spring he suddenly dropped on his
knees and began to sniff the ground. The
friend stood by and watched him in aston
ishment. In a moment Tennyson exclaimed
without looking up, "Down, man, down on
your kneesl It's a violet."
It was, indeed, the first violet of the early
English spring, and the poet's demonstra
tion over its discovery was to him the most
natural thing in the "world. In his view it
was the reawakening of nature the first
fragrant signal that old earth was rousing
herself from her winter's sleep. The story
goes on to say that the friend, who, it may
be stated, was not of so great a poetical
nature as Tennyson, fell rather reluctantly
on his knees beside the poet and consented
to join lu the snifimg ot the violet's per
fume.
HOT A POLITICAL DIHHEB,
Senator FHnn Gives a Banquet In Honor or
Xew York Men.
Senator Flinn gave a banquet at the Du
quesne last evening to several business asso
ciates from Xew York who are in
terested with him iu surface road
contracts. Covers were laid for 14, and
the time was spent in pleasant chat and
feasting. It was civen out that a political
conference was being held, hut the Senator
said no allusions to politics were made.
Among the guests were C. L. Majree.
Chief Brown. A. F. Keating, A. C. Robert
son. Sheriff McCleary and George H. Wels
hons. The presence of Mr. Macee cave rise
to the political rumors, but he had another
engagement and did not stay long.
PE0M THE CHUBCH.
Cardinal Gibbons Thinks the Austratlan
System a Good One.
James Cardinal Gibbons, the head of the
Catholic Church in this country, is also
numbered among those who favor the
adoption of the Australian system of voting,
as will be seen below:
"In reply to your query I beg leave to
state that so far as I have given the subject
attention, I believe that the Australian
svstem of voting is in theory sound, and
that'in practice it is lsrgely satisfactory."
Father or Rev. S. W. MoCorkle Djlnjr.
Eev. S. W. McCorkle, of the First Con
gregationai Church, of Allegheny, was
hurriedly called last Thursday to the bed
side of his dying father, in Ft. Wayne, Ind.
The minister's lather had been suffering
with the grip, which has turned into pneu
monia, and he is not expected to recover.
In consequence Mr.' McCorkle will not be
able to fill his pulpit to-day.

THE COLONEL AUD THE COUNT.
An Italian Nobleman Worsted in a Scrim
mage at Baltimore.
Baltimore, April 25. Count Leonetto
Cipriani, a well-known sporting man of this
city, was badly handled here to-day ,by
Colonel Talliaferro in the Washington
House. Both men had been drinking to
gether, and Talliaferro, who is a "Virginia
planter, asked the Count if he did not think
Secretary Blaine a great statesman. The
Count said that he had a poor opinion
of Secretary Blaine, who, he said, was not
the statesman that his predecessor, Bayard,
was. The Colonel twitted the Count about
his depreciatory rental ks, and said that
Bayard had to go down on his knees to
Count Crispi to let Cipriani out of prison
when he was in Palermo to claim bis father's
estate and title in 1838, and Cipriani was
only released when Congressman McComas
called the attention of the House of Repre
sentatives to his imprisonment
Colonel Talliaferro became very much
provoked and called Cipriani an organ
grinder. The latter had his cane between
bis legs aud the Colonel pulled it out and
said: "There's your tall, you monkey."
Count Cipriani drew a stiletto and rushed
on Talliaferro, who ksocked it out of his
hand with the cane, and after blacking
both eyes, threw him out of the hotel. Count
Cipriani said that he would demand satis
faction from Marquis lmperiali. The
Coun-i was taken to the police station in the
patrol.wSfcon.
REAL FIGHTING OK THE STAGE.
A Performance in Margaret Slather's Com
pany Not on tho Programme.
Philadelphia, April 25. Late on
Thursday night, while "Joan of Arc" was
in progress on the stage, Miss Margaret
Mather informed Business1 Manager Migle
that Mr. Hartsell was laughing on the
stage. The business manager informed the
actor that such by-play was not permissi
ble, whereupon he was informed by Mr.
Hartsell that his place was at the box office
and not in the wings. Hot words followed
by both parties and the men grew angry.
Mr. Migle says that a scuffle ensued, in
which Hartsell first struck him in the face
with his fist. Anyhow, the stage hands saw
that the point of comedy had been passed,
and that unless the men were separated
there would be a tragic ending of no mean
proportions. So the fighters were parted.
Actor Hartsell's thumb was blceding.pro
fusely, and he says that in the fight, the
latter part of which was enacted n the dress
ing room, it was chewed unmercifully by
his angry opponent, who had a grudge
against him. The soft, fleshy end of the
finger was torn off completely. It was
bandaged up. nd the play for the great
audience went on, the people never dream
ing what agony one of the pel formers be
tore them was suffering.
C0IKC1DENCES IN A CRIMINAL CAREER.
A Tennessee Alurdercr Loses Another Legal
Battle for Ills Life.
Pulaski, Tess., .April 23. Larkin
Lancaster, who was charged with- having
cut off the head and severed the legs of
Zack Dixon and then doing up the severed
members in sacks and throwing them in
Richland creek, was vesterday convicted of
murder in Hie first degree and sentenced to
be hanged on the second Friday iu June
next.
A remarkable coincidence is llyit this is
the third time tlT.it he has been convicted on
the same day of the month of April aud sen
tenced to bangon the same day of the month
in June. He has appealed to the Supreme
Court, and lawyers think that tne vexing
problem as, to whether or not he will be
hanged is no nearer solution than it was
more than two years ago.

The Dryness of the) Atmosphere Combatting
IU Chilliness 'Squire Jland el Thankful
the Roads Are Once Bloro Good Pros
pects of the Frnlt Crop.
The weather director is still keeping
people in suspense regarding the question of
frost or no irost. There was a frost on
Friday night, Ddt it does not appear to have
done any especial harm except, perhaps, in
unusually exposed localities, and even here
no special damage is believed to have been
done, as the air was so dry that the
bloom would stand much frigidity, and be
side, the bloom is so extensive that if half
of it were killed enough would be left to
make a large crop. Last evening people
were still nervous, but hoped for defense
from the same cause that prevented injury
on Friday night the excessive dryness.
'Squire Herman Handel was In high
feather yesterday. He said the fruit so far
was all right, and, further, that the great
Supervisor had taken charge and given
earthly imitations a rest. In consequence,
the roads are in good condition, and the
hefty 'Squire can trust himself in a buggy
again and is not obliged to nse timber
wheels when he wishes to take his drive.
Not only growers, but city people as well,
are concerned this year regarding the fruit
crop, and the stereotyped jokes about the
killing of 'the Delaware peach crop grate
harshly on sensitive nerves, as, though de
prived of the luxnry for so long a time," they
have not lost a remembrance of its taste. They
do not want to see another year when apples
sell at retail for more than oranges, as they
have done this year. And the farmer wants
to see a large crop, even if prices do not pay
for carriage to market. It wouldn't be a
bad plan to convert the truit especially
apples ordinarily allowed to rot in this
country, into jelly. It is said the surplus
could be disposed of in Europe si a fair,
though not extravagant, profit.
