RAILROAD NOTES.
The Erie Is not extending Its miles
of trackage, but It will Immediately
proceed to Improve what it has. It
will expend $1,000,000 a year for several
years, in Improvements.
A prominent Erie oinclal gives It as
his opinion that there will be no radi
cal changes In the ofllclary as a result
of the recent sale of the road. Quito
a number of the officials have of lnf
been feelins a chill In the region of
their spine.
On Sunday. December S, a largo con
ventlon of railroad men will be held in
Hrezleton. The Union Hall will be used
and a large meeting la expected. The
Hazlcton railroaders met yesterday and
perfected arrangements. Prominent
railroad men from all over the country
will be present.
The Lehigh Valley railroad will begin
at once the work of extending the
Easton and Northern railroad from its
present terminus, on the outskirts of
Easton. to a connection with tho com
pany's main line at South Easton. The
proposed extension will be about five
miles In length, and will encircle a por
tion of the high hill upon v.-hlch Easton
Is situated, thus forming a belt lino
for a nortlon of the city. The tracks
of the Jersey Central will be crossed
overhead, and the line will be carried
across the Lehigh river on a substan
tial bridge to a point near the Lehigh
Valley's station at South Easton. Bids
for the masonry on the line have al
ready been invited.
A Des Moines dispatch says: "Some
time ago a large number of petitions
were filed with the Btate railroad com
mission asking that rates on grain be
reduced. It was represented that at
present prices about one-third of the
value of grain is absorbed In paying
freight-to Chicago, and it was asked
that rates be reduced to make them
In some measure conform with current
prices on grain. The commissioners
have rendered an opinion In the matter
in which they hold that grain rates, or
at least rates which it has been asked
to change, are interstate affairs, and
cannot be changed by state authorities.
As to local rates within the state, it
is held that they are fair."
The new agreement of the Trunk
lines and their western connections has
been somewhat weakened by the later
amendments. . The proposition for the
roads in deposit as a penalty fund 1
per cent, of their gross earnings until
the total for each road should be $50-
000 is believed to have been definitely
defeated. The fund will probably be
limited to $10,000 for each road. It is
understood, also, that several roads re
fuse to surrender absolutely the rate
making power to a special committee.
and therefore that proposition is prob
ably defeated. The special committee,
however will prepare rates for all
roads, and roads which do not accept
mem will nave to furnish good rea
sons for. .their action or else be con
sidered to have broken the agreement.

senting these differing and often hostile
moral elements is strung enough to have
Its own way. Tne central, loaning, or
ganising control of the party Is broken
down and can not control. When factions
are strongest the party is weakest.
This was the condition of the Democratic
party nearly half a century ago. It of
fended the conscience of the nation as a
defender of slavery; its patriotism as the
champion of secession, its self-Interest as
the enemy of American Industries. Then,
as now. it had In its leadership representa
tives of all three of these different in
tagoniams. Its anti-slavery exlenslonists
like Douglas; Its semi-protectionists like
Kundall, and its union or war Democrats
like Dlx and Ben Butler. They were
stronger than the party. The party or
ganization could not control them and it
went to pieces. The past few years It has
been resuscitated from Its syncope, but it
has not been reorganised. Recovering a
person from the falntneas of heart dis
ease does not cure the disease. And put
ting the Democratic party Into power
does little or nothing to invigorate its
feeble patriotism, stimulate Its fluttering
conscience, strengthen Its common senile,
or dissipate its ignorance and contempt tor
the vast and intricate business of a
mighty nation.

who seises It first will set up cham
pagne cocktails for four tails that give
no nightmare. It was the last summer
of the rose, and I was down at Piney
Point, where the pines are all pointed,
and upward. Upon the wharf In front
of the hotel I noticed each morning a
large Thomas cat, intently ' Watching 1
some boys who were firstling for crabs. J
At otner times this fells domestlca
might have been seen taking his morn
ing exercise along the beach, occasion
ally scooping In a stranded crawfish.
One morning, however, I observed him
alone, lying close upon the edge of the
wharf, with his tail overboard and his
eyes fixed in contemplaton, like a street
car conductor. Then suddenly he
sprang like a bucking broncho, high in
the air, followed by a large crab at
tached to his tail, clinging like a broth
er, and aa if he thought he had a soft
thing or was stuck on it. To the admir
er (V the many art It was an Inspiring
sight to see the waltzing of Tom and
the crab, at times varying to the figure
of the lancers, resulting soon, however,
In Tom detaching and dispatching the
crustacean, while to tho student of pay
chics It was a study to follow the cat's
mind as indicated by the waves of his
tail, and I said, 'Here is food for the
philosopher as well as for the cat,' and
since then I say cats reason.'
"Colonel," said Mil. "how far from
the water was the wharf?"
It was somewhere under four feet,"
replied the colonel.
"Ah, colonel," said Gen. Dan Mc,
"may I Inquire how long that cat's tall
was?"
"Oh, yes; I think It was in the neigh
borhood of four feet." said the colonel.
Then there was slloni-e. unbmkan hv
a footfall on the sanded floor, for the
coionei was a brave man, who took not
contradiction. Then, one by one, as
leaves drop, so dropped out they, to
look for stars in the milky way, while
me uuiunei, nnaing himself alone, or
dered his night cap and wandered away
to his lonely pillow.
APHORISMS FROM EMERSON.
Compiled from His Writings by George
C. Bragdon for the Rochester Post-Express.
If a man would be alone, let him look at
the stars
Nature always wears the colors of the
spirit.
A man is fed, not that he may be fed,
but that he may work.
Beauty is the mark God set upon nature.
All good Is eternally reproductive.
Every natural fact is a symbol of some
spiritual fact.
An action is the perfection and publica
tion of a thought.
Of that ineaffble essence which we call
spirit, he that thinks most will say least.
Love is as much in demand as percep
tion. The Invariable marl; of wisdom Is to see
the miraculous In the common.
What we are, that only can we see."
Only so much do I know as I have lived.
Character Is higher than wisdom.
Success treads on every right step.
In self-trust all the virtues are compre
hended. Fear always springs from ignorance.
The world Is his (who en . thrmi.h
Its pretension.
Ha who does a good deed Is Instantly en
nobled. The man who renounces himself comes
to himself.
The silence that accepts merit as the
most natural thing in the world. Is the
nignesi applause.
All evil is so much death or nonentity.
Nothing Is more slmule than o-r.atii.as:
Indeed, to be simple is to be great.
Neither dogmatize nor accept another's
dogmatism.
Where there Is no vision the dsodIs
perish.
Every natural fact Is an emanation, and
that from which It emanates is an emana
tion also, and from every emanation is a
new emanation.

LARGEST PIECE OF GOOD TOBACCO
EVER SOLD FOR THE MONEY
By common consent the greatest
living writer of short stories is
. Rudyard Kipling-
He is, indeed, the King of Story
Tellers. The demand for the work
which comes from his pen ex
ceeds that for the writings of all
other living writers.
The Tribune, in association
with other leading daily journals
of the country, takes pleasure in
announcing a new story from the
pen of this master wielderof the
Queen's English, entitled
pits
and
tie Boil
The remarkable thing about it
lies in the fact that no story ever
written so vividly sets forth the
absolute sublimity of human en
durance. This tale, with the
vividness characteristic of its
author, depicts the last adventure
of a desperate crew of sea rob
bers captured in forbidden waters
with a shipload of stolen pearls.
Pirates though they are, their
. indomitable Anglo-Saxon pluck
will win the sympathy of every
reader, in their fearful ' struggle
with a maniac engine disabled by
a shell from a pursuing cruiser.
Scalded by escaping steam,
scorched by the redrhot metal .
they are forging, crazed by heat
and toil and famine till they are
scarcely conscious of what they
do, they, strive with unyielding
r stubborness to repair the wrecked
machinery and effect their escape. ,
