The most distinguished arrival the
Mlllard over had since its hospitable
doors were opened , waft that of Gen
eral Charles R. Decker , the smallest
man in the world , who decorated the
register yrstcrday with his sign
manual. He is five and one-half
Inchon shorter than Tom Thumb , and
mure perfectly and vigorously formed.
"Ohnwles the Small" is little , but ho's
all there , nnd TUB BEK is willing to
put up S10.COO In the currency cf thu
realm that them is not a man in the
world of his sz3 ! who can get away
with him , Queousbnry tules , or any
other rules to the contrary notwith
standing.
The man of mind'who very appro
priately looks to the Nebraska legisla
ture for the r.malknt men in the world ,
must remember that while the general
now stopping nt the Millard la only 31
inches high in stature ,
HE is AWAY UP
in mental abilities , and his edu
cational acquirements are ( superior.
Ho Is a courteous , aflablo llttln
gentleman , and while in the physical
tenao ho has to look np to everyone
that addresser him , in the bettor
qualities that go to make the man ,
General Dackor has to look np to no
ono.
ono.As n convoroationallet ho Is keen
and Interesting and our reporter can
see only ono reason why the general
is so small ; that is , his brain power
got too heavy for ita physical propo ,
and aa It developed in great stronuth
the podeatnljproportlonB were dwntfcd ,
General Decker daw thla mundane
sphere in 1855 , 28 years ago , nnd it
will bo soon that for many yearn ho
waa a bigger man thnn old Grant.
Ho was born in Pontotoc , Mississippi ,
nud hia patents were ordinary
Rtntured people , aa well as his
brothcro nnd mstora. Indeed , the muli )
portion of the Decker family were
"double dookora" aa far na height ia

perfect Inovory respect ( even to a

height. The general aaja when ho
roaches the higher rculma ho will got
there spiritually nnd a few iiiohca below -
low the usual physical height in thla
world does not amount to n great dejil.
General Decker wna taken with his
parents to Memphia when ten yonrs
of ago and there the little fellow's
extraordinary ability , coupled with his
Btnallncss , attracted attention. With
it true Independent spirit ho decided
to paddle his own canoe and BO ho
atartod on the road celling his own
photographs , rogardloso of managers ,
shows , circuses or dramas. In this
way ho accumulated considerable
means and above nil supported in
good style his mother who ia now liv
ing in Memphis. His first connection
with any troupe was with the Border
boll ringers and the well posted theat
rical people of the day know fall well
what a
LITTLE TINTINABTLATION
ho was waa in thoao days. Subse
quently ho traveled with minstrel
ohovs , concert troupcv , dramas , etc. ,
etc. , until to-day ho has the benefit
of a throe years engagement with
Charles A. Gardner , the improved
Enmott of Gorman comedy. Gener
al Decker was with Tom Thnrnb on
several occasions , and the top of hia
head only reaches to the oars of
Thomas. Justly then does Decker
olnlm to bs thu smallest man in
stature in the world , for thorofjla no
ono even approaching the ago of rea
son , except the little aud young boy ,
Major Mite , with the midgets , who
can compare with him. The general
is a man in every way , perfect m
his form ( what there ia of it ) , and
intelligent , genial and courteous.
There u nothing dwarfish in his com
position except his perpendicular ,
and woknow lots of mon'whoare five
times ns tall , nud'stlll they are not ai
ma MKK
as General Decker ,
With Gardner , who is without
doubt the best German burlcsqno nr
tist on the stage to-day. Genera
Decker has very little to do. He
loads the band iu the Innghnblo plo
nic econo , nud gives the people of to
day a picture of what the Skldmon
guarda were years ago. He nls <
drives a white mule in the street pro
cession which is not a very exaltci
position , but when it is known thtv
little General Decker is the finest nd

DEATH ON TUB HAIL.
A railway publication has the fol
lowing interesting article in regard to
the dangers of railway travel and rail
way service :
Botno very interesting and alao
nome very startling deductions may bo
made from the table of railway acci
dent in the United States , reported
by the census baronu for the year
ending Jane HO , 188'J. The total
uutuber of p.isncnQorn carried durinq
thoyaar w200,583,310 and the
number of oflicorn nud ainployra of nil
kinds was 418,957. Although thin
includes general alllcors , clerks , nnd
others \vho3o dntirs ate not especially
danguroua , wo Imvo not reduced the
renalt M wo might hnvo done by nub-
trading them. Taking the official
total * , wo find the following averages :
KILLED AND INJURED
through causes beyond their own cor-
trol :
Killed Passengers 81 , or ono to
every ? 4,510,400
Employes 200 , or one to every. 1,011
Injured PflesengorB SSI , 6roue
to every , . . . 814,421
Employes 1,00-1 , or 1 tn every. . 417
Through their own carelessness :
Killed Passengers 8 ? , or 1 to
every 3 287,601
Employes 663 , or 1 to every. . . 032
Injured I'aseongcrj 82 'or ' 1 to

Employes 2,613 , or 1 to every. . 160
Aggregate , killed and injured :
Pnsaengeis G87 , or 1 to every. . 392,407
Employes 4,510 , or 1 to every. . 92
From thin It will bo soon thnt the
dangers of railway truvol to paanen-
gors , they nuo ordinary care , are as
tonishing small , only ono passenger
being killed by fault of the rallwayo
to each 4,419,400 who traveled during
the year , and only ono injured to each
814,421 , The number of casualties
from the carelessness of p&szongt-rs
wan somewhat greater , but still very
small compared with the vast number
transported.
With railway employed , however ,
the renult Is far
LEfW SATISFACTORY.
Out of ovcry 1,011 oilicera and men o !
all grades ono was killed , nnd out of
every 417 ono was injured during that
year , through causes beyond their own
control. The ratio of the killed and
injured tbroughj their own carolosuess
is far greater , while the aggregate cas-
ultles Irom all causes show the shock
ing average for the year of ono killed
or Injured to every ninety-two em
ployes. These fignreo seem utmost Incredible -
credible , and yet it la probable that
they even fall short of the truth , as
mauy minor casualties are doubtlcs
not reported. If the number of acol-
dents to train hands clone were glvuu
I it would show a still moro terrible
average , Certainly those figures call
for greater care on the part of thoao
operating our railways , and alao for
moro perfect appliances by which this
record of suffering and death nuy bo
largely diminished In fu'.uro.
