Coneral Manager Miller Says.
Wii.walkkk, March 30. Manager
Miller, of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul road, in an interview with the Asso
ciated press reporter this morning said
there was no truth in the statement made
by the sv.ithmen at Chicago that the St.
Paul company had been secretly aiding
the "Q" company. "The trouble is,"
said Miller, "that the Chicago switchmen
have combined to make a thorough boy
cott against the "Q" company, and in
sympathy with the movement, our men
refufed to handle sonic new cars brought
to us by the Burlington road from a fac
tory on tueir lines We told the men if
they did not handle cars they could not
handle anything. No other point will
be affected. We are using our men in
the place of the striking switchmen and
they wi 11 stay there until we can get new
gangs. We will continue to receive and
deliver freight at Chicago, but will re
quest our terminal agents to easy up a
little on us for a few days." There are
no f i eight trains moving on the Chicago
uivisiou oi me oc. ram roan inis morn-
. One stock train went out early, but
since then nothing in the treijrlit line has
gone over the road. Everything is quiet
at the yards here.

struck a Burlington engineer, was before

Worarn Itarbers for Women.
On one of the women's streets of this
town, where the petticoats are so thick
that a nmn is almost as much out of place
as lie would be at n ladies' luncheon, there
is a woman's barber shop. It has not a
striped pole in front of it. It is too
sesthetic for that, and the women lind it in
llocks without such vulgar aids. It is a
woman's place in the fullest sense of the
wold, rau by women and for women. It
is the outcome of the usual long felt want.
Of course, there were always places
where women could get their hair dressed,
but when the universal bang demanded
constant attention these great artists were
apt to net as if such ministrations were
beneath their attention. Then they
charged enormously. L'he places where
they trim bangs cheap were dubiously
masculine; even if they set apart n place
for women there wero glimpses continu
ally of dreadful, collarless, lathered male
beings, aud to the inexperienced feminine
mind nothing seems so indecent as a man
being shaved. i
Still auothcr question of decency came
in. The fine ladies who'have had their hair
dressed ever since they were 12 years old,
and who patronize men dressmakers and
milliners, of course, have no sort of ob
jection to men barbers, but lots of youn
women in a less exalted sphere find it
quite dreadful to have a man fussing half
an hour over their heads. "You know,"
paid one not over lucidly, "with the
dentist yon don't mind, because he hurts
you so dreadfully all the time, but with a
barber it is different." 2ew York

A newly arrived Englishman was told
that the editor of The North American
Ueview would, that night, deliver a
learned lecture, and that if lie desired to
become informed upon live issues in
America he should attend. He did so,
and the next day he wrote ns follows to u
-.London newspaper:
"The Americans are 6urely a very pe
culiar people. Last night I went to hear
a well known gentleman lecture on what
these people term live issues, and I must
pay that I never heard a more ridiculous
discourse. The people laughed in his very
face, but he did not appear to mind it.
He talked about absurd things, and spoke
of shoving his fist into the bosom of the
night, and went on at some length to tell
of n dog that had fieas. I did not want
to be rude, but I really laughed. I actu
ally expected to see the people mob the
fellow, he was so very, very queer."

The Cheery Wet Weather Daisy.
Athletics are not left to men. Women
aud girls go in for them, at least in their own
mild way, and they aro as enthusiastic as
the most successful college oarsmen. What
do they do? Well they ride and they fence,
and do the trapeze act in bloomers and short
jackets; they walk, and they go in for dumb
bells and Indian clubs, and indulge in a va
riety of other feats that give musclo and
abundant breath. No weather has terrors
for them any more, and if you wish to see a
procession of ihiladeJpliia beauties, bigger
and brighter than you will ever behold it at
any other time, you must take a walk in the
fashionable quarter on a wet day.
There you will see them, ones, twos and
threes, in groups and detachments, swing
ing merrily alopg in their rubber coats and
dainty galoshes, their cheeks aglow, their
eyes shining, and their breath kissing
tho moist air. They aro all bound well, no
where in particular. But they must bo out
in the wet. It is the new caprici It indi
cates that they are up to the days; days in
which the Philadelphia girl, who knows
what is the latest, insists on being healthy, on
daring the perils of alT weather, on ignoring
horse cars, and saving the pennies which
erstwhile went to make the "horse car" fam
ilies of the Quaker city so rich and powerf uL
And she is mora than ever a lovely creature;

Phildlphia Letter.
"It always does me good to do that," said a
friend to a reporter, as he trod heavily on tin
heel of a man who had rudely crowded past
ami placed himself squarely in front of tho
t wo pedestrians. The offender t u rned around
in a fury, but becoming conscious either of
the unequal match or of his being in the
wrong, he transferred tho "insult" from his
heel to his jiocket and walked off.
"These big fellows seem to think that they
own the town," continued tho triumphant
social reformer. "They elbow their way
without regard for others. If they aro be
hind you in a dense crowd they press you
closely, and they never seem to like it when
you turn your side to them, put your hand
on your hip and kivo tli.'i.i IU.- c yu.-
elbow to impale themselves on. In a street
car they will back up to a six inch interval
between two passengers and settle into it, hav
ing their neighbors to choose between stand
ing the crush or making room to the right
and left. The fact is, there is a great deal of
isnoraneo as to how to get about in a big
ity bko New York, with convenience to
one s sell ana deference to the rights of
oihers. Clowns like this fellow do not mean
to annoy any one only to make their own
way. But there is widespread ignorance as
to what is polite and proper, what tactful
good senso requires, what is safo or danger
ous, in using the crowded streets and public
pla :es, and it ought to lie a part of a common
school education to give a little instruction
and lay down a few general iirinciples that
ought to be, but are not, universally accepted.
DEFERENCE TO LADIES.
'.Men have rather confused ideas as to
what deference they should pay to ladies iu
public plaees. It is well understood that in
the elevator of a hotel a man should conduct
himself as he would in any other room tho
parlor, for instance of the hotel, and should
rise aud stand uncovered when a lady enters
the elevator. But in the elevator of a down
town building the conditions are changed.
1 hat is a public conveyance not an apart
ment, and in it a man may do exactly as ho
would in a street car. The rights and privi
leges of pedestrians are very well defined, if
people only knew it. That lubber whoso heel
1 just scrunched had a perfect right to pass
me, but he was bound to keep ahead. I can't
stop walking just because he chooses to get in
front of mo. I used to do so, as most people
do; ono instinctively draws up rather than
step on another; but I havo conscientious! v
trained myself out of that habit, and now I
rather 'step out' than step short.
"Very few people know how to look out
for themselves about the city, and most of
them plunge into inconvenience and even
danger which a little headwork would avoid.
Kinety-nino men in 100 will hurry forward
to eatch a swinging door before it closes bo-
hind some one who has just passed through,
ana run tne risK or a broken wrist in receiv
ing its full weight. They don't seem to think
that if they let it swing freely toward them
it will immediately swing back again, when
they may pass through almost without touch
ing their hands to it. But tho best way is to
disregard entirely the door that another has
just passed through use the other, and let
tho first one swing off its hinges if it will.
CROSSING THE STREET.
"A New York American has no need to be
in a hurry in order to take tremendous risks
in crossing tho street. Ho never will learn
that there is more room behind a moving ve
hicle than in front of it, and dashes over ap
parently for the mere satisfaction of accom
plishing a feat. The New York drivers are
not quite so reckless as the Paris cabbies,
who aro said to run a man down whenever
they can, but even in New York a pedestrian
has few rights a driver feels bound to re
spect, and the best way to deal with the caso
is to give the truckman the right of way.
Occasionally an imperious old gentleman ad
vances boldly into midstreet and holds up
his cane to stop the approaching express
wagon. It may work and it may not; but
to be sure of it one needs to be a police
man armed with the rattan of official
authority. How many men have narrowly
escaped braining by bales and boxes dropped
from a hatchway hoist. And how many,
even of tnose who understand the danger,
secure their peace of mind by adopting the
only infallible rule of safety, never to pass
uuder a hoist ? There is always room to go
around the hatchway, and I never fail to do
that.
"If people are foolish and untaught about
the avoidance of danger, how much more so
are they regarding the avoidance of incon
venience? Never a train stops on tho ele
vated road or the Bridge but there is a profes
sion of geese, eager to alight, standing in the
aisle of tho cars, ready to be pitched, first
headlong and then backward, yanked to and
fro, clutching wildly at the door frames nd
at their neighbors, as the engineer applies the
jerky air brakes. I usually get off the car
ahead of most of them, although I remain
seated until the train comes to a full stop, for
I sit near the door, and when I get up 1 rise
in my place in the very van of the procession.
A little headwork saves a great deal of leg
