July 16th General Superintendent J
R Phelan of Alliance dictated a volun
tary letter of resignation to General
Manager George W Holdrege A carbon
copy of this letter the writer was allow
ed to read upon calling upon MrPhelan
and requesting an interview relative to
thb rumored change The resignation
shows that this action is determined
from consideration of health and per
sonal business It shows that his service
with the Burlington extended over a
period of twent four years and six
months that a few miles of road have
extended to one of the greatest systems
of the world and that the friendship of
Mr Phelan and Mr Holdrege has been
very close and during that period Mr
Phelan asks in his resignation that he
relieved if possible August 1st
The daily press announced the ap
pointment of LB Allen superintendent
of the Ottumwa division of the Bur
lington in Iowa to be general superin
tendent of the Wyoming districts com
prising the AllianceSheridan and Sterl
ing divisions Mr Allen is said to pos
sess the necessary qualifications for the
important position
It has been no secret the past year
and a half that Mr Phelans heath is
seriously impaired he has considered
resigning several times His malady is
of a chronic nature and his illnesses
have come suddenly and without warn
ing Having consulted eminent special
ists he is advised to take a rest and
find relief from all worries This the
man who must exercisn supervision
over 2000 miles of a great railroad
system cannot do and attend to duties
that require almost constant travel and
long arduous hours Then too Mr
Phelan has personal interests of consid
erable importance which have neces
sarily been neglected the past few years
He stated to tne Times man that he
would continue to make Alliance his
home would devote his attention to his
ranches and other interests and after a
half years rest if his health improved
would perhaps consider more arduous
work The pleasant relations which
have always existed between him and
his superiors are only severed with re
gret A thorough railroad man he has
made a record in the operating depart
ment that is remarkable to his associates
During the seventeen or more years he
has been stationed at Alliance Mr
Phelan has ever worked for the towns
interests and his influence has been no
small factor inthe remarkable develop
ment It isv true he has made some en
emies every reliant successful man
does that Though he is to remain
among us his change from an official
position must prove a distinct loss to
Alliance This citys welfare may not
always be considered when a new man
comes Let us hope it will give him a
hearty welcome and trust that he may
be as true to our interests as loyal to
this friends as has John R Phelan

THE CHILEAN YAPPA
It In Similar to the Lasrninppe of
Xew OrleanH
Residents of New Orleans and north
ern readers of Cables stories of the
city are familiar with the interesting
and gracious custom of small trades
men of giving lagniappe The -word
commonly pronounced lanyap refers
to the small present Aviiich the dealers
make to their customers as a sort of
Inducement to call again The custom
is so firmly established that the people
are in the habit of waiting for their
little present after they have made
their purchases and children ask for
It Mrs Hort in her book The Garden
of the Pacific describes a similar cus
tom in Valparaiso The Chileans how
ever call the gift a yappa which ne
readily sees Is kindred to the word
used in New Orleans
I used to frequent the fruit market
which was well stocked The fresh
figs were the largest and sweetest that
I had ever seen or tasted and I made
a point of daily bringing some home
for breakfast
The first time I selected the number
which I wanted the girl placed them
between leaves in my basket and then
laid another half dozen on the top I
supposed that she wished me to buy
an extra quantity and shook my head
in the negative She smilingly ex
plained that it Avas for a yappa As 1
had tiling more to pay I was agree
ably impressed by the custom
The Chileans exact the yappa as
their due We were in a confectionery
shop one day when a small child came
in and held up a centavo halfpenny
for some sweets The man handed
them to her She held up her other
hand and lisped out Mi yappa and
got it New York Globe
THE SAIS OF EGYPT
A Warning Runner TVI10 Bellows
Like a Bull as He Goes
The sais is a runner who keeps in
front of a carriage and warns common
people out of the Avay and who beats
them with a stick if they do not hurry
up about it
It Is obvious that to do this he must
run quickly Most men when they run
bend their bodies forward and keep
their mouths closed in order to save
their wind The sais runs with his
shoulders thrown back and trumpet
ing like an enraged elephant He holds
his long wand at his side like a mus
ket and not trailing to his hand like a
walking stick and he wears a soft
shirt of white stuff and a sleeveless
coat buried In gold lace
He is a perfect Ideal of color and
movement and as he runs he bellows
like a bull or roars as you have heard
a lion roar at feeding times In a
menagerie
There are sometimes two of them
running abreast dressed exactly alike
and with the upper part of their bodies
as rigid as the wand pressed against
their sides and with the ends of their
scarf and the long tassel streaming
out behind
As they yell and bellow donkeys and
carriages and people scramble out of
their way until the carriage they pre
cede has rolled rapidly by Only
princesses of the royal harem and con
suls general and the heads of the army
of occupation and the Egyptian army

When Thackeray Struck
A letter written by Thackeray to the
proprietor of Frasers Magazine is
quoted under the head of When
Thackeray Went on Strike As a
matter of fact Trackeray so far from
acting on the principle of unionism
acted on precisely the opposite prin
ciple and asserted his right to individ
ual preference Well he says I
dare say you will be very indignant
and swear I am the most mercenary of
Individuals Not so But I am a better
workman than most of your crew and
desire a better price He ends ami
ably You must not I repeat be angry
or because we differ as tradesmen
break off our connection as friends
