Tho ilepartmenl here-after will bo conducted by General Pas-senger Ageut Lee. Despite tiie rumor to the contrary, tho Chicago, Burlington & Quincy s deny that they propose any sweep-ing reduction in their force. They say. howover, that the reduction in gram shipments has so brought down the freight tonnage that about 300 men will have to bo let out betwoeu Denver and Chicago. A conference was held at Chicago to-day between the Northwestern com-mi'tto- e of the Western Freight associa-tion and the representatives of lines in the Central Traffic association in regard to rales to ihe northwest. The object is to arrange for a similarity of through rates by way of Mackinaw and Chicago from points in tho Central association's territory to St. Paul and Minneapolis. The Heading Railroad company ha3 taken an important step in ordering automatic couplings fr more than .Vi() uuw cars, which will also have air brake appliances.

IN I1IL1MC1ICLES. A Kailroad Editor Says the Union Pacifio Will Become the Greatest Sys-tem on Earth. INCREASE OF BATES TO COAST Western Railroad's Contributions of the Net Earnings Advertising Bird of the Midland to Photograph. Under the present management the Union Pacific has begun to blosson like a rose, says the Railway 'rws Re-porter. As soon as tho reorganization is completed and tho now machinery is properly placed, there will be no greater system on earth. Tho Adams administration w:is one of extrava-gance and useless expi n lilure, as money was spent for services that could be of no possible value to the company. Cheap men were employed and were given contracts which wire bound to entail a loss to the stock-holders whether they were retained or released. 1'ractice was deserted for theory, ami as a result there is today enough disabled machinery on the lino to stock a road half its size. This machinery must all be put in condition anil it is going to take a large amount of money to do it; but when it is once done tho locomotive do- - partment of tho Union l'aeilic will be superior to that of any corporation in existence. As far as car equipment is ' concerned, both as to point of num- - hers and condition, those of no other j lino are superior. It is asserted by peoplo who should know bolter that it is Mr. Gould's in tcntion to wreck Ihe Union Pacific. That is a chestnut and is so old and moss grown that wo are surprised to hea rit repeated in this age of progress; besides, if that had been Mr. Gould's intention ho could have simply waited a year before buying it. It would hardly have taken Adams anil his associates longer than that to have completed the business. The peo-ple who talk of railroad wrecking are generally the ones w ho know the least about tho business; and to those who believe that the Union l'aeilic is going to hades, wo will say that S. S. H. C lark is a pilot who always kept his good ship pointed in an entirely dilToieut tli rectiou. ltatei and Karnlngf. The year 1 8! i0 was a peculiar one on the Denver & Bio Grande railroad. For nearly six months in the last half of the year through freight traffic was crippled by the transfers at each end, and the road depended largely upon its local business for revenue. A reduc-tion in freight rates upon low-grad-ores prompted increased shipments anil taxed the rolling stock severely for transportation facilities. That it added largely to the business of this depart-ment, the annexed ligures show: FrplKhtettriilnftH for iwts fr,31',,,V4'j lr. Krttluht fur Ihsii. ,4'U....i m Freight earning for low) i.

It may be used as an illustration to tho other roads that reduced rales from tho east, by cheapening the cost to consumers, will increase the aggregate of their net earnings. Incraantng the llte At the last meeting of the trans-Missou-passenger association it was de-cided to increase tho rate for unlimited tickets between the Missouri river and California common points to the sum of all the local rates. The former unlim-ited rate was .'.". This will now be the limited rate, having a limitation of thirty tlays. The result of this change is to make the unlimited rate from 25 per cent to 40 per cent higher than it was before. It will not be the same over all lines either as heretofore. Being mailt; up from tho sums of the locals, the rates will vary with the length ol the lines over which the ticket is bought. No doubt there will be a vigorous kick matte by the drum-mers, who wish to stop olT at all the principal cities en route, The dilTer- - ence to other travelers will not be great as they do not, as a rule, care to take more than thirty days to make the trip, Kefrigerator Cars. The refrigerator cars used in dressed beef shipments cost from $T")0 to M.'.O each. They are run on faster trains than the regular freight trains, and therefore cover more mileage. As they earn one cent per mile to the shippors whether empty or full, both ways, it ; has been estimated that these cars pay for themselves in three years. Another interesting feature in this business is that more carloads ol tleressed beef are shipped east from Chicago every year than there are carloads of grain. Tarrying Oil. Trainmen on the Indianapolis divi- - siou or the Pennsylvania lines have been instructed in making up trains, where there are a number of cars loaded with oil, to fill out the train only j with empties or cars loaded wilh non- - inllamable material or low class freight. Oil is never to lie hauled in trains of high class freight and must not be placed next to the engine or caboose, When there are over lifteen cars of oil they are to be hauled as a special sec- - tion of a train.

"The tune the old cow died on" was set to the jingic, of street cars bells and the rattle of horses' hoofs over the rough cobbles an .Montgomery avenue. The old cow had been driven since noon yeste.ulav with a herd, from tho drove yards ill West l'hiladelphia, and she let her head droop, leaving the herd a butcher was driving, stumbled over and lay down on the pavement at the corner of Thirteenth street, about o'clock in the evening. Bring her along, Kansas," railed the driver of the cattle. Kansas was (lie collie dog that hud been guiding the herd, lie went back to tho old cow, but he did not snap at her legs or bark, but stood by her head with his tail down. The driver came anil kicked her in the ribs but she would not get up. Then he went 011 with the herd, saying lie would come back for her. He whistled for Kansas, but Kansas did not move. He stood still by the old cow's head with his tail down, while a crowd gathered. - Presently a man who wore heavy boots and had a shaggy gray heard came along. He looked as though he liked green fields and had smelt the sweet oder of the young grass in the meadow bottoms'. "Sukey, Stikey, !" he called, to get her up, "So, boss, so!" She pulled her forelegs together and tried to rise, but, wtth along, deep sigh, as though for tho sweet grass m the meadow bottoms, her head fell and rested on the curbstone. Then Kansas sat down and waited. IJKKVITIKS.

A certain wulous 'dame is siid to have j once attempted to sweep tho ocean away with a broom. The Dutch have been wiser than this. They uro slow and do-- j' lils-ral- people. Desperation may nss brooms, but deliberation prefers clay and solid masonry. So, slowly und de-- liberatoly, tho dykes, those great hill- - jj like walls of foment and , stone, have risen to breast tho liUT-tit- i waves, And tho funny part of it is they are so ekillfnlly i.lanted and paved on the out-- Bido with Hat stones that the. efforts of the thumping waves to beat them down only make them all tho (inner! Tbtw) Holland dykes are among the wonders of the world. I cannot sj;y fnr how many miles they stretch along tho const and throughout tho interior; but yon may 1m sure that wherever a dyke is IiectKsary to keep back tho encroaching waters there it is. Otherwise nothin? would bo there, at least nothing; in the form of land; nothing but a fearful il-lustration of the principal law of hydro-statics: Water always seeks its level. Sometimes the dikes, however care-fully Wilt, will "spring a leak," and if riot attended to at once torriblo results are sure to follow. In threatened places guards uro stat ionod at intervals and a steady watch is kept up night and day. At the first signal of danger every Dutchman within hearing of the startr ling bell is ready to rush to tho rescue. When tho weak spot is discovered, what do you think is used to meet tho emerg-ency? What but straw everywhere else considered tho most helpless t all things in water! Yet straw, in the hantls of the Dutch, luus a will of its own. Woven into hu:;o mats and se-curely pressed against the embankment, it defies even a rushing tide, eager to sweep over the country. These dikes form almost tho only per-fectly dry land to bs seen from the ocean side. They are high und wide, with fine canriage roads on top, some-times lined with buildings and trees. Lying on ono side of them, and nearly on a level with the edge, is tho sea, lake, canal or river, ns the case may lx; on tho other the flat fields stretching damp-ly along at their base, so that cottat9 Tool's sometimes are lower than the shin- - ing line of tho water. Frogs squatting on the shore can take quite a bird'seyo view of the landscapo, and little fish wriggle their tails higher than the tops of the willows nearby. Horses look o.iplacentry down upon tho bell towers, and men in skiffs and canal boats sometimes know when they aro passing their friend Dirk's cottage, only by seeing tho suioko from its chim-ney, or perhaps by the cart wheel that ho has perched upon tho peak of its over-hanging thatched roof, in tho hope that gome stork will build hc-- r nest there and so bring good luck.

He must feel, but he must guide and check his feelings as a skillful rider curbs and guides a fiery horse, for he has a double part to play; merely to feel himself is not enough; he has to make others feel, and this ho cannot do with- - out the exercise of restraint. Let me make use of an instance afforded me by M. Coquclin himself. Once, he says, he was tired before he came on the stage, and falling sound asleep when feigning sleep, bo snored real snores instead of feigned ones. The t result was, ho tells us, that he never snored so badly.

Coquelin at some time in his experience shed real tears, while at the same time in full possession of his waking faculties, and had lie Wen able to guide those tears into tho chan-nel that his artistic sense told him to bo the right one, then wo should not have heard that tho audience found those real tears less effective than tears wholly feigned and the product of intellect rather than of feeling.
