THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELER ,
V
Success of the Move for Reduced Rates for
Traveling Men.
THE DENVER CONVENTION PROGRAMME ,
The Dcail Drummer A. Bold Thief
Ctmiieo to Get a IJrlulc HOIIHC
Duel to tlio Dentil A Ijegal
Question.
The 2.0,000 traveling men of this country
nro to bo congratulated most sincerely on the
fact that the chances nro now exceedingly
bright for tlio ultimata success of the preut
effort now being mtulo In congress to glvo tlio
traveling man that reduction of rates ho so
Justly deserves. In 1832 n mere handful of
commercial travelers , belonging to small local
associations , conceived the idea of creating ti
national organization , for the purpose of gain
ing favorublo railway legislation , and for the
purpose of making n united effort in tlio di
rection of obliterating obnoxious license laws
then existing in many states and territories.
In the line of minor concessions the associa
tion sought to elovnto the standard of hotels
where they nrcdcd elevating , and also aimed
to rogulnto livery and 'bus charges
throughout the country. The association
oturltid out on the plan of amalgamating com
mercial travelers , 1. c. , permitting members
from nil sorts of commercial travelers' socie
ties to bccotno members of : t national order.
Up to the time of the enactment of the Inter
state commerce law members were being
enrolled at the rate of fXX ) per month ami
everything pointed toward most successful
results. When the interstate net was passed
it marked tlio beginning of the decline of the
association. Hallway concessions which had
been gained up to that time wore wiped out
and the old rates restored. The working
element of the association recogni/ed tlio tre
mendous odds that faced them at this point ,
but uovei' once faltered in their determina
tion to carry out their objects to the full func
tion of their hopes and promises.
It Is very gcnciVilly conceded by railway
companies that the commercial traveler is de
serving of bettor rates than the occasional
traveler , and it is likewise admitted in all
business transactions that the wholesale pur
chaser is entitled to bettor rates than the
mail who buys in very limited quantities.
This being true , it is not unreasonable to ex
pert that the commercial traveler who is will
ing to Invest in fi.OOO miles of mileage books
nt ono Urno is entitled to wholesale rutos as
against the man who buys only 100 miles at
onco.
The worlc of the committee having this
matter in hand has been partially rewarded
by the Introduction under the most favorable
auspices of senate bill No. U7S ( ! offeivil by Hon.
M.S Quay , incmbcrof thesenatccommitteoon
intcrstuto commerce , and of house bill No.
10IT : ) otl'ercd by lion. Charles O'Neill of
Pennsylvania , senior member of the house
committee on commerce.
The quiet light is now over and the open
fight is fairly on. The case is now fully and
fairly presented to congress.
The movement now is to push this matter
everywhere , to carry the news and thus bring
down on their representatives iti congress
from business linns and commercial travelers
from eveiy nook uud corner of the country a
perfect avalanche of letters in advocacy of
both bills. It is needless to say that this is
the most important movement that has over
been made on behalf of commercial travelers ,
mid it Is to bo hoped that the work already
done will not bo oven partly injured through
tlio commercial incu not coming to the front
promptly and showing their strength. It is
not only important that tbeso letters be sent ,
but bo sent quickly.

The hotel and cigar stand counters iu this
city wcro liberally Hooded yesterday with an
imitation typewriter letter calling attention
to the convention in Denver , and giving par
ticular notice of n special train to accommo
date the Nebraska excursionists. The letter
is signed ( in print ) by B. J. Hoe of the Gate
City hat company , M. W. llycivson , Ulchard-
8on drug company and Dawson Mayer , 929
Now York Lifo building , the three gentle
men being Omaha men.
Mr. Kyerson met u representative of TUB
Bun on the street last evening and indig
nantly denied that ho had over given his
consent to allowing his iiamo to appear on
the circular. Ho said that whllo ho was
heartily in favor of doing all in his
power to assist in making the Den
ver convention a complete success , yet
ho didn't propose to bo a party to
such rank partiality as to the means of get
ting there as the circular evidenced when ho
discovered that it was paid for by the B. &
M. railroad company with Dawsou Mayer as
medium.
. Mr. Mayer will bo remembered as the gen
tleman who talked so long and loud at the
first ono or two meetings looking toward the
orgnnl/ntton of the Omaha traveling men's
club , but when it began to look Hko business
r anil that something moro substantial than
wind was needed ho was "not iu u thousand
joars. "

A Hold ThlcT.
A snc.ik thluf came within au uco of mak
ing a rich' haul nt the Union Pacific
depot in Onmlm ono evening last week. r |
H. 11. Prlcy , a traveling salesman rvpre-
Bonting Boyd & Coi , diamond Brokers of Chicago
cage , had been in the city most of the day
selling goods for his house , and at 0 o'clock
went to the depot for the purnoso of taking
nil cast bound train for Des Molucs.
His samples , which consisted of diamonds
and Other precious stones , of the value of
llO.OtX ) , wcro carried In a small leather grip.
Walking Into the waiting room , Price
placed his grip on the shelf tn front of the
ticket 'ofllco window and was hi the act of
reaching Into his pocket for his purse , when
u nratly divsscd man stopped up behind him
mul in au Instant had grabbed the grip con
taining the valuables aud was out of the
door.
Price discovered his loss Just as the man
was passing out of the door , and iu un instant
was iu hot pursuit , screaming "Stop , thlof , "
nt the tup of his voice , Tlio cry was taken up
by the loungers about the station , and a mo- ]
input later fifty men worn following the man ,
who was lleolng down the trucks toward ttio
river. Casting a glance- over his
shoulder the thlof saw his pursuers
wore gaining upou him , uud dropping the
vallso , ho darted between some
freight cars and escaped , while the crowd
gathered around the valise , nil seeming afraid
to touch it , until the arrival of Onicer Foley ,
who secured the gems and turned them over
to their owner ,
During the time the thief was making hU
flight , two men wcro observed standing at
the east end of the depot platform , and at
they were quiet and uninterested spectators ,
apparently , it Is believed they wcro accom
plices , and that the thief was attempting to
reach them ut the time he dropped the valise.

A Ijpgnl Question. *
An interesting question came before the
United States distinct court in Omaha last
week. It is ono that will no doubt interest
traveling men deeply. A traveling man by
the name of Pierce , who sells tobacco for an
eastern manufactory , was accused of selling
tobacco without a license and pleaded guilty.
The court announced from the bench that ho
had been told that the accused had merely
sold tobacco in the state as the agent of others
who had compiled with the United States
laws , and instructed Attorney Baker to look
Into the mutter and report the facts in the
case.
Duel to tlio Death.
A duel to the death was fought at Scale ,
Ala. , last week between Louis Smith and Ed
ward Elkins , traveling salesmen from Mont
gomery , Ala. A year ago the two men quar
reled on account of n voting lady they uoth
were payiug attentions lo. They did not see
each other again until yesterday , when they
met on n country road oy accident. Both
drew pistols and opened nro at the same time.
At the third shot a ball struck Elkins in the
breast , killing him almost instantly. Smith is
thought to bo fatally wounded.

That truth is stranger than fiction
was never better shown than by the ro
mantic marringo Inst nifjht of Miss
Stella Aikuns of Madison , Ind. , : ind Air.
Louis P. nivuud of this city , says
a Henderson , Ind. , special. Six years
ago a party of four young girls wore
strolling along the banks of the Ohio
river at Pleasant Ridge , six miles above
Madison , Ind. The river wns then at
the highest stage over known , and its
rolling grandeur was the very inspira
tion of romance in the hearts of the four
maidens. They resolved , as they
watched the turbulent water , that they
would each and every ono write a note ,
seal it up in a bottle und. cast it into the
stream. Each maiden wrote a note
without letting her fellow-romancers
know what it contained. Miss Stella
Adams wrote the following :
February 21 , 1834. I am clown taking n
view of the river today. I write this letter
to see how far it will go , and the ono that
llncls this letter will please let mo know
where they found it. I dropped this letter in
at Bee Camp Landing. 1 live ono mile back of
the river and six miles above Madison.
Please let mo know when you found this
bottle and where. My address is as follows :
Bee Camp postoflico , Jefferson county , Ind.
P. S. I uni sweet sixteen.
STKI.I.A E. ADAMS.
To nn unknown friend.
Miss Adams was not sixteen at the
time ; she was only fourteen , but as six
teen seems the moro romantic she gave
that charming age. She folded the note
carefully and , placing it in a bottle ,
throw it far out into the water. On
March 1 ! ! , seventeen days later , Louis IT.
Rivaud , a boy seventeen years of age ,
was strolling along the river bank some
little distance below the head of the
canal in this city. Ho espied a green
object bobbing up and down , in the
water. Ho fished the object in to the
shore , opened tlio bottle and read the
note. Being also of a romantic turn of
mind , lie resolved to answer the note.
Ho did so , and in return received a note
us tender as his own. Pictures wore ex
changed and a correspondence of two
years in length followed.
Then the young people began to wrilo
less and le&s frequently , and finally , for
no reason except that the romance of the
atTair had begun to cool , , the cor
respondence ceased altogether until
April 4 last. Then young Rivaud re
ceived a letter from a young man at
Madison who stated that no was in love
with Miss Adams , and that ho wanted
her picture which she had sajd ho could
have if Rivaud would tend it to him.
Rivaud's love was roused 'by jealousy
and lie reopened the correspondence
once more with the heroine of the lloat-
ing bottle. The letters grow moro warm
tu their tone , and finally , a few weeks
ago , Rivaud visited the lady nt her
home. After a few moro visits the en
gagement followed , and the hoquol of the
all'air was their marriage at the bride's
homo at Pleasant Ridge.

"Beaton by a woman" is the terse
comment of M" . Zola who was most di
sastrously defeated In hia attempt to got
elected to the Academy.
It is well known that for years his
heart has been got on securing a place
Among the "Forty Immortals. " Ho has
curried favor with members of the
academy in every possible way. When
.It was intimated to him that the exceed
ingly naturnlibtiu tone of all
his works , such ns "Nairn" and "La
Terre , " would count agalnat him , ho
wrote a book specially designed to coun
terbalance them. This was "Tho
Dream , " of which luid been said it might
have been written by a nun for the
perusal of vestal virgins.
Having thus , as he thought , made his
calling and election sure , ijola formally
announced his candidacy for the .seat va
cated by the late Eniilo Angler , says a
Paris cable to the Sun Francisco Exam
iner. No man over madu a moro thor
ough canvass th.Mi ho , but when the bal
lot was taken on Thursday ho got only
four votes.
The cause of this defeat was the re
venge of a woman. She was ono of his
early friends , anil In days when ho was
starving in Paris , making his only meals
from the Ixnllcs oi 'sparrows ' which ho
trapped on the roof rt { the squalid garret
In which ho Hvodf.flho was so infatuated
with him that she olTored not only to glva
him her love , but nhl him with her earn
ings , which wore considerable. Ho rather
ungraciously rojeot-p.il her nilvnnccs , but
for several years she cherished her pas
sion for him. 11 i
At lust s-ho gave up her hopeless suit
and transferred hoi1 nllectlons toanoble
man , who Is now' ' bile of the most Influ
ential members of the academy. Then
Zola began finding out that truly "hell
hath no fury like a woman scorned. "
The woman whosd' love ho had rejected
became his bitter ; and relentless foe.
Through the inlluonco of her lover she
prevented M. Zola from having his
writings accepted by the very publish
ers to whom no was most anxious to
[ give them. It was she , also , who was
j I ehielly instrumental in shutting his
plays off the stage. Maddened at this ,
ho sought to retaliate by picturing her
In ono of his novels in a moat ollensivo
manner.
She only laughed at this and bagged
him to send her an autograph copy. Aa
soon as ho aspired to a place In the
academy she began to work against that
ambition , and in this her influence
proved most effectual.
Since his defeat Zola has re
tired to his country homo at Mednn ,
on the Seine , where ho is nursing hia

The recent death of Silas M. Wilson
in Now York awakoncdsomo interesting
memories down in Now Orleans. Ho was
born in Philadelphia forty-live years
ago , and was crippled in his leg at bis
birth , says the New York Morning
"
Journal. "Besides , both his hands and
arms wore twisted out of shape and it
was with the greatest difficulty that ho
was able to speak.
Ho met his wife , who was a Miss The
resa Morgan of Now Orleans , in Rochester -
tor , N. Y. , in 1873. She had been bent
out of New Orleans by General Butler
in 18(12 ( , and at the time of her marriage
to Wilson was teaching young ladies
how to make wax flowers. She is said
by those who were well acquainted with
her hero to have been quite pretty , very
intelligent and attractive.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson met in the Cen
tral depot at Rochester in 1873. He was
on one of the Ills' t jaunts through the
country peddling soap. Miss Morgan , in
common with other ladies , pitied the
plight of Wilson , j "When Miss Morgan
went to the hotel she found Wilson
there. . ,
Ho was a general favorite with all.
The landlady fed him , ho being utterly
powerless to put his own food to his
month. Miss Morgrtn became interested
in him , used to fcitdj ) and generally be
came of great assistance to him in his
helpless condition. '
Ho proposed marriage to her ono day.
Miss Morgan felt so much hurt and hu
miliated by the proposal that she packed
up and loft the house ut once , going to
Erie.
She was , however , no sooner safely
ensconced there than Wilson came
crawling up to the door and would not
leave the premises until the young lady
consented to be "his for life , " which she
did , as previously stated. When ho
died Wilson was worth considerable
money.

It means a corset "bone"

It means a corset "bone"
that doesn't kink if it doesn't

in the middle as corsets are
apt to do so it means a

Kabo means a corset you

"THIS IS AN AGE OF APOLLINARIS WATER. "
Walter Besanl.
THE QUEEN OF TABLE , WATERS. '
Within less than a year three different Judges have
granted Injunctions protecting the well-known Yellow
APOLLINARIS LABELS from infringement.
The last defendant used an oval yellow label and a yellow
neck label on Mineral Water , and employed eminent Counsel
who vigorously defended the suit. The Supreme Court ,
when granting the injunction , expressed the opinion that
bottles of other Mineral Water put up with orange coloured
labels may well be mistaken for Apollinaris at a short
distance and without close inspection.
