Show ' ' 4 THE SALT LAKE TIME& MONDAY, JUNE 23, 1890. ' Next month THE FAMOUS PONY EXPRESS. One of It OrlRlntoPi Still Alire The Wonderful Work Don. A rusty old sigu inscribed "Russell, Majors & Waddell" can still be Been on a bidding at the corner of Shawnee and Main streets, Leavenworth, Kan. It formerly marked the business headquar-ters of ft firm once famous throughout the west, and of which but one member is left alive Col. Alexander Majors, now living at Kansas City. Thirty-on- e years a,?o Russell, Majors & Waddell did the biggest business of any freighters operating between the Mississippi and the Pacific coast. "Duke" Owynn, then a United States senator from Cal-ifornia, thought his constituents deserved a better mail service than that afforded by the regular coach f route, and there .came into his ' mind the idea of a pony express. cou auex. majors. cresi nt Washington dis-missed the proposition with a sneer, but the Leavenworth freighting firm thought the plan feasible and aided "Duke" Gwynn in getting for it official recogni-tion and government aid. Col. Majors still delights to recall those "brave days of old"' when the hardy little ponies of the plains made nearly railroad time between St. Joseph and Sacramento. The post houses were ten miles apart, and as a messenger dashed up to one of these he jumped from the back of his panting steed, bestrode an-other fresh and impatient for the race and was off again. Five seconds only were allowed for a change of mounts. But a single order was given to messen-gers "Ride and stop for nothing." So despite storm and darkness they hastened on, occasionally scurrying at full speed through bauds of hostile Indians, with ft revolver crack to the right, another to the left, a duck of the head to the pony's neck to escape the whistling arrows, but never a swerve in tho onward rush to-ward the destined goal. The riders got $100 a month each in gold and the com-pany received $3 for every letter sent over the pony route. "The most note-worthy piece of work performed," re-marked Col. Majors the other day, "was in the delivering of one of President Buchanan's messages in a few hours over eight days. The message was re-ceived in St. Joseph by wire, immediate-ly placed npon light manifold paper and givGss to the messenger. The pony was off like the wind. Forty of t'e little follows were required to do the work and it was done to the queen's taste. But the telegraph came soon," he added sadly, "and that broke the pony's back. Later the railroads came and wo had to stop our wagons and close up onr busi-ness." Col. Majors, although now over 70 years of age, is nearly as able and active as in his prime.

The removal of officials, however, is nothing as compared to the reduction of 25 per cent in the wages of the shopmen, which was ordered on Saturday. One thousand men quit work ut onco in the shops at Omaha and Council Bluffs. It was expected that only about six hun-dred of thoiu would resume work to-day, not only at the reduced wages, but nu reduced time also, as an ad-ditional .order was issued that but eight hours' wprk per day would he permitted and only five hours on Saturday. This reduction, as wo un-derstand it, applies not only to Omaha and Council Muffs, but to the shop men at all other points on the road. The cut both in money and lime is so re- - markable that we cau hardly believe It, but we take it for granted that the dis-patch in Sunday's Herald, from which we gather the information, is correct. 'o such reduction has ever before takeu place iu the whole history of the road. It is simply outrageous, especially in view of the fact that tho I'nion Pacilic for tho past year has been doing a good ' business. It looks as if Mr. Ad- - anis proposes to make the employes of the company contribute towards paying the indebtedness of the road. In Omaha, Grand Island, Sorth Platte, Denver. Cheyenne, l'oeatello, Portland, and at all other shop joiuts, hundreds of inon will be thrown out of employ-ment, aud the lew who 'are retained will liud it difficult to make a living ou the wages paid. There is such a thing as false economy, and it is now bring practiced on the Union Pacific system. Whether tho men will submit to the re-duction remains to be seen. It would not surprise anyone if a general strike Is the result. In that event, it. will prove a very expensive matter for the I'nion Pacilic, whoso managers seem to have forgotten the Burlington strike, which cost that, company many mil-lions . of dollars and serious-ly crippled the road for about two years. If the Union Pacific can get along with a reduced force that is all right., but to reduce the wage,, of those who are retained :n the service to starvation rates is all wrong. The Union Pacilic is umkiug a very costly mistake. TKOim.K ON THK I'NION ncinc. Kvery time Charles Frigid Adams takes a trip over tho Union Pacific-- cold wave strikes the entire system.

Miss Ethel Ingalis, the eldest daughter of the Kansas senator, is a young woman of 20, with an unusual share of beauty. Her tastes are literary, and she is a clev-er newspaper and magazine writer. Florence Pullman, the eldest daughter of the palace car millionaire, is a sensible yovrng woman of 31. She has brown hair and eyes and a majestic carriage, and is rather pretty. She possesses $300,000 in bank stock in her own right. Lady Anne Blunt, her husband and their daughter are living on the borders of fhe desert in Egypt, about six miles from Cairo.

KM CATION AMONG THK BLACKS. The colored people of the United Stales are to be congratulated upon tho great distinction achieved by one of their number in America's oldest and most celebrated institution of learning. Clement Garnett Morgan, a colored student, has won for himself and his race high houor iu Old Harvard. Ho was the class-da- y orator of the class of '00 the first man of color to have such an honor. Throughout his college course he has made himself conspicu-ous by his excellence in his studies, while in the art of oratory he has car-ried off several prizes. At tho class-da- y exercises ho acquitted himself in the most creditable manner, demonstrating to the vat assemblage that he is a nat-ural born orator. At tho close of tho oration he received an ovation, aud was congratulated by everybody. He was the hero of the day. Mr. Morgan, in reply to au inquiry as to his future plans, said that he pro-posed to lake a course in tho Harvard law school, provided he could see his way clearly to support himself while pursuing his legal studies. Mr. Morgan should have no anxiety ou that score, lie will lind some means to pay his way. The colored people of this coun-try cau well afford to raise a fund to provide for Mr. Morgan during his legal course. Ho will bo able iu a short time to repay it to them in more ways than one. Judging from his remark it is fair to presume that he has exhausted all his present available means in paying for his four years' classical course. Wo hope, ' therefore, that the colorod people will act upon the sug-gestion of The Times. Why would it not be a good idea for the colored citizens of Salt Lake to start the ball rolling with a small fund? Let them try it. We predict that if they do, their example will be followed in every city of the United States. Mr. Morgan's success at Harvard is another evidence that the black man can be as highly educated as the white man. All he wants is equal opportunt- - tics. This lias been demonstrated time and time again during the last few years iu the common schools of the couutry. Some of the brightest gradu-ates of the high schools have been col-ored boys and girls. Education aud re-finement among the blacks axe rapidly wiping out the prejud'ee that has exist-ed against them. It was only a few .years ago that a colored student in such aristocratic institutions of learning as Harvard aud Yale was t unknown, whilo colorod children ' in the public schools always created a panic. Xow all this is changed, since it has been conclusively demon-strated that the colored people are in-telligent human beings, and that the white people of this country were re-sponsible for tho ignorance which char-acterized them when they were re-leased from bondage. An intelligent, educated colored person now com- - mauds respect nearly everywhere, and the time is coming when the average of intelligence among Africo-Atnericaii- s will be as high as that among any race in this heterogeneous nation. They are taking advantage of every opportunity of acquiring au education, well know-ing that, by education they can over-come prejudice and reap substantial rewards for their efforts. A Model German Schoolhonse. At Mannheim, in Baden, Germany, there stands a schoolhouse which is said to be the most perfect bnilding of its kind. It cost 1235,000 and contains forty-tw- o ordinary schoolrooms, besides two rooms for drawing, two for singing, two for handwork, a large gymnasium, a hall for public exercises, two meeting rooms for directors, two sets of rooms for servants and ftrar little prison cells for refractory pupils. The materials in the structure are almost exclusively iron and brick. The ceilings of all the rooms, corridors and the big hall are of concrete. The floors of the class rooms are hard wood laid on asphalt. They are supposed to be so constructed as to render the accumulation of dust and the breeding of bacteria impossible. The bnilding is heated by a low pressure steam system. In tho basement are swim baths. The boys' bath accommo-dates twenty at once and the girls' bath fifteen. Half of the basement is a huge, bright room, full of tables and chairs. Here in winter 900 poor children will receive a half pint of milk and a roll each daily for luncheon. In tho ninety winter days during which this arrange-ment will prevail the directors estimate that they will give away 20,250 quarts of milk and 81,000 rolls. Parties who have been omit ted by the government census enumerators should not fail to call on A. M. Wood, at No.. 207 South Maiu street, and leave their names. Tho opportunity is thus afforded to everyone to be counted in the census. Every person who has not been counted should take enough inter-est in Salt Lake to notify Mr. Wood. If people will not take this trouble, then let them not blame tho census officials after the books are closed for any omis-sions that may have occurred. PARAGRAPHS. Mis.

Carnot, wife of the president of France, is one of the most democratic of women, visiting all classes, enter-taining all classes, assisting at bazars, fetes and festivals, and is kind to every-body, If she cannot be a statesman she is at least a politician. Bellamy is accussed of taking his book, "Looking! Backward," from an old German author named Bebel, who wrote a novel on the same lines entitled "Women, Preseutand Future." Bellamy meets the charge with the statement that he cannot read German and never heard of Bebel. - A historian who is compiling tho let-ters, etc., of President Lincoln has fin-ished a search of the records of the executive office of Ohio. But one autograph letter was found. It is dated April 23, 1804, aud accepts tho offer of the governors of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa aud Wisconsin to furnish 85,000 troops for 100 days' service. Miss Clementina De Vere, soprano in Dr. Paxton's Church, New York City, receives $4500 a year for her services, or $112.50 each Sunday. This is said to be the highest salary every paid to a choir singer either in this couutry or Europe. Miss Jennie Dutton, soprano of the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, New York, draws M000 a year from the church and earns $5000 more from concert engagements. Mrs, Martha Gray, of Virginia, has been found bv the census man. Mrs. Gray is now living with her third hus-band," and her record at rearing chil-dren is thus scheduled; six triplets, eighteen; six twins, twelve; seven sin-gles, seven; total, thirty-seve- n children. When the census enumerator facetiously remarked. "Tally one for Mrs. Gray," that good lady exclaimed: "You tally thirty-seve- and don't you forget it?" Gladstone was recently stopped by an amateur photographer in tho street at Hawarden v'llage and asked to stand still until the artist could jget a snap at him. Gladstone dccliuedwith thanks and went his way. On his return late in the day the artist was still there, and looking very disconsolate at his failure to get a picture. He again reuewed his appeal and this time the ex-pri- minis-ter, entering into the humor of the situ-ation, stood still aud was photographed. Judge Thunnan finds no relief from his rheumatism, and continues ns great a sufferer duriug tho warm weather as he was in tho winter mouths. He rides out but rarely owing to the excruciat-ing pain which invariably follows the exercise. His only outing consists of short rambles about tho grounds, in which he is usually accompanied by a troop of children, little playmates of his graudchildrcn. While he suffers continuously he never complains. He sees every one who calls, and especially enjoys the visits of old-tim- e and the recital politicians of political achievements before the inauguration of boodle methods and tally-she- forgeries. Mrs, Harriet Beechcr Stowe was seven-ty- eight years old ou the 14th. There were a few calis from personal friends and in accordance with their usual cus-tom, her publishers, Messrs.

Mrs. Stowo's health is much as it lias been for the last two years, and is best described by the word "feeble " both in body :M i'u mind, although she has occasional flashes of brilliaucv in conversation aud in offhand writinsr She is able to walk out of doors, and passes much of her time in the open air. She does not, however, appear in public places and is closeiy cared for by her daughters at her home in Forest street. i The attention of the Liberal voters is directed to the call tor a mass conven-tion to nominate school trustees for this city. The convention takes place next Saturday evening, and it is highly im-portant that intelligent, progressive men bt placed in nomination. No one should bo nominated who does not fully understand the new school law, nor should any mau be intrusted with the rare of the schools who does hot pro-pose to put the school system on a good and uniform footing, so that equal facil-ities and opportunities will be afforded to all. It is.Jiighly important to the best interests of this city' that we have, as soon as possible, a first class iystem of graded schools, oand the only way to secure such a system is to place the matter in .the hands of the very ' best men who can be selected. The Libor-ul- s should carefully consider the quali-licatio- n of each candidate before plac-- , ing him iu nomination. Let no mis-takes bo made. ' PAIN. Independent.

The telegraph service in Salt Lake, in some respects, is not what it should be in a city of 50,000 people by any meaus. The ofHce itself would be a discredit to a place of 5000 people. In a village it is perhaps customary to close the telegraph office duriugcertain hours on Sunday, but that such a cus-tom should prevail in a city of such commercial importance as Salt Lake is simply absurd. There are other faults that can bo mentioned regarding the telegraph service in this city, but we suppose they must be endured so long us the present monopoly exists. There's nothing like having a "cinch "ou the public, and that is what tho Western Union has on Salt Lake. But when the Postal telegraph company's lines get in here next year au immediate re-lief will be afforded. That is always the case' where' there is competition. The Postal company is now building its lines into Denver, and from there they will be pushed on to Salt Lake, anil then from this point they will be built to San Francisco. The Postal telegraph will be warmly welcomed in Salt Lake, and at every other point where the Western Union, now exercises the mo-nopolistic "public-be-dd- " policy. HAPPENINtiS IN OTHER LANDS.
