A big man with a fierce, bristling gray beard and wearinj: a hr?:ul brim med slouch hat inarched .down the main corridor of the cnpitol. closely followed by a guide nt a dogtrot. They had inspected statuary hall ami the rotunda nud looked in at the cham ber of the .supreme court, and the vis itor had made no other comment on the sights shown him than to utter an occasional grunt, snort or growl. The big man paused nt the end of the corridor and jerked his head to ward a carjietcd passage. "What's them burglars doing to daj'?' he demanded. "The senate is not in session, sir," said the guide in a shocked voice. After the visitor had departed the guide sat down 011 his chair in front of the statue or Daniel Webster and mopped his heated brow. "That's one kind that comes here," he said. "Wo have all kinds, but his style is the hardest to deal with. Called the senate burglars you heard him and he kicked at everything- ele I showed him. That kind comes pre pared to kick. They ain't got no pa triotism at all. and a United State senator ain't no more to them than a doorkeeper. Why. I'm afraid to take men like him into the supreme court. Likely as not they'll say something disrespectful right out loud. Do you know what that one said when I show ed him statuary hall? He says, 4Whc nre nil these crooks? Then be wanted to know how much nil them statues cost the government and who got the rakeou". I told him they were given by the states, and he said tbnt was once when the states put one over. "You wouldn't think," said the guide, with a sigh, "that patriotic Americans could come here and be no callous about the things they see. They seem to begrudge giving a dollar to be showu the place where Webster stood when he made his reply to Hayne. I don't know what the country's coming to. I've been a guide here twenty years, but I never thought I'd live to hear the senate called burglars." Washing ton Cor. Kansas City Star. Trouble In the Air.

Union Pacific Casualties Drop to Ono-Flfth; Ticket Scalping Is Reduced. Tho llarrimiiu railway lines carrier 10 per cent of theeutiiuiileil i'JIO passoiiger trallic of the United Stutes, or 1!),1!)1,0U0 people, without fatal accident to any of the number. This result is ascribed to the installation of safety devices and is believed to have no parallel iu the rail road world. The report, containing this ilatu, just has been compiled in the offices of .luliua Krultschnitt, director or muintenancu nud operation on the system, including tho Southern l'acitiu aud Union 1'acillc railroads, a total of lT.'.lCO miles. The total number of passengers carried on n one mile basis was ::.lHtO,WO,()0o. The figures of the country's railroads for 1'JJO have not yet been compiled by the government, but in 11KIU the interstate co'mmtrcc commission reported the nnm Imt of passengers carried as 2VI.00o.000, 000. The figures for l'.UO will not ex ceed a billion more, it is said. Many other railroads have gone thro ugh a year without a fatality to any of its passengers, but it is said that no sys tem has made this record for such u large total of passengers. The results on the Ilarriruan lines are ascribed to a campaign waged by the management for years to reduce accid ents. The llarriman system now has more miles of automatic block Mgnal protection than any other system in the world. Mr. Krnttscbnitt himself bus directed special attention to the acci dent problem nud begun several years ago to bring about a reduction by giv ing complete publicity to all forms of accidentB and their investigation, which it is believed, sparred both officers aud employes to greater elTorts to safeguard lives instrusted to their care. In the year lt'Oo-lWl the number of accidents on the Union Pacific was 20 for 1,000,000 locomotive miles. In the final half of l'JIO it was only 1 for 1,000, 000 miles. On the Pacific system of the Southern Pacific the number of accidents per 1,000,000 locomotive miles was re duced in the same time from l).a to 10.5. Important progress has been made in recent mouths iu suppressing ticket scalping, according to the report of the Railway Ticket Protective bureau, issu ed during the day.
