The T. P. A. newspaper organs con
tain In onch IBSUO a lontf lint of hotels
whoso propriolora Imvo acceded to a ro-
dticcd rnto for traveling mon , says thn
Mort'hnnts' Travelor. but a cnrcful po-
rusnl fnilH lo discover on the roll many
first clnsa liotiseH. On the contrary ,
most of the hotels muntlonod arc those
' comparatively unknown to the bnttor
dims of coinmcruinl travelers , anil there
fore the concussions , made to attract at-
tontlon , nro of no particular value to a
majority of patrons.
But thoroaro institutions which In-
torestall travelora alike the railroads
unil Bleeping' cars , By trusts and com
binations of 'powerful corporations ,
prices are kept up nnd the traveling
public is compelled to make n paying
invcHtmont out of a bankrupt enter
prise in the way of imssengor trallic ,
while the firms doliiff the shipping of
freight are compelled to pay throe or
four limes the ti uo value of transporta
tion to enable the coinnanloa to got
back the money which they have fool
ishly invested in jurk-nutur roads and
1" connections.
I A glance nt the maps of Ohio , In
diana nnd Illinois will convince the ob
server that these territories do not re
quire one-fourth of the network of rail
roads to do all the commercial and
piiHSonjjor business required. The re
mainder are dead timber , an increase
of liability to the companies and a
curtio to the people who have to pay
for It.
The result is that olllcinln are con
tinually groaning at the small prollta
connected with operating the rosids ,
the stockholders growl about the small
Kr/.o of the dividends , \vhil the patron
jiibtly complains because ho has to pny
a great deal more for the transiiortation
of himself or merulmndlHO by steam
than Ho would have to by horse power.
There arc- ninny horse car lines which
will take a man a doy.on miles for 5
contH , and would bo willing to do it for
half that amount if they could bo al
lowed to use steam instead of horse
power , while the railroad companies
dim-go the full limit allowed by law
in nil cases , or throe cents a mile , for
runs of 100 miles or more , nnd then
complain because they do not got
enough.
The next move is to see about raising
prices on freight transportation. It is
argued that ; & per cent is not enough to
make on capital invested , but of course
in this the watered stock Is all figured
in at pur. The actual cost of the road
in money is ton millions. It has boon
watered to thirty millions. The net
earnings are thruo millions , or three
per cent on the alleged investment or
capital stock ; but , as a matter of fact ,
the road has paid 30 per cent on the
actual money invested.
.Last year the Rock Island road
jumped its fourth-class freight from 10
to ill cents between Chicago and Rook
Island. The only excuse for tins arbi
trary proceeding was that the state of
Iowa had passed some hostile legisla
tion which Had made the railroad
oillcials angry.
Another feature of travel which needs
the attention of the powers that bo , is
the sleeping car system , and it is evi
dent that a litUo attention on the part
of the public will do some good , for , in
the west , whore people are wont to as
sort themselves more forcibly than
'
elsewhere , the accommodations' in
finitely bettor than in other sections ,
and the charges are more moderate.
The Pullman system is getting about
unbearable , with the potty , arbitrary
rules , the forced feeing of the crow ne
cessary to fun the car , the exorbitant
charges $2 for three hours' sleep in
some instances and the many annoy
ances to which the traveler is sub
jected.
If the T. P. A. managers would de
vote their attention to mitigating the
evils practiced by railroads and sleeping
car companies for awhllo and give the
hotels a rest , it seems that more real
benefits might bo derived. Per in
stance , lot word be passed along the
line to the effect that no feeing shall bo
done to porters on sleeping cars , unless
in payment for actual sorvieo rendered ,
nnd thus force the proprietors to pay
the salaries of their own help , and work
other improvements.
ijuim iiuti .snort or it.
The general passenger agents of the
country are not at all unanimous re
garding the subject of a live thousand
mile ticket. First a few railroad mon ,
admired for their sagacity and good
judgment on all matters pertaining to
their interests , have declared thnni-
selves unequivocally opposed to the
general introduction of a f ,000 mile
book. Among other apparently good
grounds for their imposition , one im
portant feature that must , yet can not ,
bo overcome , in order to secure the
general adoption of tljo 6,001) ) mile
. ticket , is the question of long and short
haul to and from any given points.
" The mllcngo from distant points in the
west' to Now York city varies fro-
quqntlv over different roads upwards of
a hundred miles. Given a 5,000 mile
ticket over all the lines connecting-
two cities under consideration , the
tmvoling salesman will certainly take
the short lino. Ho not only saves hie
mlloiigo , but several hours time , which
is an important item. The long lines
would in consequence bo out of the
race , lose the advantage of the differen
tial rate enjoyed under existing condi
tions , and would bo completely nt the
mercy of the short linos. That the
long lines will oppose nnd defeat a'n.v
measures for the general adoption and
introduction of 5,000 mile books , is still
evident.
Drummer1 I ) iy.
Since Omaha started the fashion ,
every exposition of any pretensions
east , west , north and south , has UB
"Drummers' Dny. " An event of this
sort took place recently at Detroit , in
which several hundred Michigan trav
eling mon participated , as well as some
from Now York , Chicago nnd other
cities. The Now York nnd Chicago
boys made things lively by advocating
their respective cities for the world's
fair. An account of the affair , written
by John Do Witt , saya :
"There were about thirty Now York
mon in line , decorated with yellow
badges , which had on them in black let
ters , "Now York Welcomes You in ' 02. "
As they marched to the boat , at every
crowded corner they would give this
concerted cry : ' * N-e-w Y-o-r-k , Now
York , 02.92-OU , " muph to the amusement
of the outsiders , and to the discomfort
of some Chicago travelers in line , who
immediately began to describe the
beauties of Chicago , and how much
money It had raised to hold the world's
/air there. "
Tlior hnliml n Ki'in li Customer.
A good atory Is told about a young
man from Newark , N. J. , who essayed
the role of jewelry salesman for one of
the heavy manufacturing concerns
thoro. On reaching Chicago ho got
acquainted with n lively lot of drum
mers nnd they played a trick on him ,
iia they do upon all unsaltoil members
of the craft.
A drummer lust arriving at the hotel
xvns introduced as a heavy buyer , and
the Newark lad. opened out his samples
nnd succeeded iu getting from him an
order for over $6,000 worth of goods.
Ho was fo overjoyed. by his luck that ho
gave a little wluo supper to the buyer
and the friendly watch movement Ron-
tlotnan who introduced him. lie sent
the order to Newark nnd ono of the
older heads in the firm wrote back that
no such man was known in the trade as
a buyer , but that the name given was
ono belonging to a well known sales
man who was given to practical joking.
The Mowarkor then had to sot up the
wine again to hush Uio guying that ho
got from other drummers.
According to the Grand Island Inde
pendent , .7. O. Poor , a Kansas City
drummer , created an uncalled tor scone
ono day hist week while at breakfast In
the dining room of the Palmer hotel.
It seems that he was accompanied bya
woman , supposedly his wife , whose
beauty attracted the attention of A. M.
Lynamnn. Of course Lyiuxman looked at
nnd admired the fair lady , who im
parted the information to her over
sensitive and demure little protector ,
who , arising from his seat , walked over
to Lymunnn and demanded in tone. ;
more forcible than elegant that ho
cease to look in the direction of his
wife.
wife.Oh
Oh ! hallowed beauty Lynatnan , with
his usunl suave and courtly grace , re
plied that ho was not aware of having
given olTonse.
The young K. C. man. amid the jeers
and ridicule of others who were present
nnd heard his unwarranted attack upon
Mr. Lynamnn , returned to his table
and choked down his dinner in appar
ent self-consciousness of having made a
fool of himself.
Sudden Death < > ! ' a
A recent dispatch from Dos Monies
says : "John. 7. Casson , a well known
traveling man , whose homo is nt Iowa
City , died suddenly at a hotel in this
city. The gontlcmnn came to ttiis city
Thursday last and wont to ilia Uerooco
house , the proprietor of which was an
old acquaintance and friend. Ho com
plained of not fooling well , but appre
hended no serious results. At 0 this
morning , when the landlord called at
his room , ho said ho had slept very
well and thought ho was bolter. Halt
an hour later ho was found dead. Ho
has ono son , a yountr man of twenty-one
years , who is employed on the Burling
ton , Cedar linpidu & Northern road. "
A Popular Itosort.
The Thurston hotel at Columbus ,
Nob. , under the management of J. G.
Pollock , is becoming a popular place of
resort for the traveling men. Many of
thorn make , it their Sunday stopping
place. For a time after the opening of
this hotel it was run at a log ? to the pro
prietors , but the traveling man knows a
good thing when ho sees it , and now the
Thurston is crowded every night.

HERO OP LOVE.
Translated from the French of Jack
Mornn : In a new and unfrequented
quarter , near the Park Monccnu , the
summer morning had opened splen
didly.
A girl was nt her window , behind
half-closed blinds , smiling at some
chimera , at some dream of the future ;
for heaven permits youth to have hope
in llfo and to dream of possible happi
ness. The apparition of a letter at the
end of a thread , seeming to descend
from heaven , startled her from her
reverie.
The envelope bore her name. In
taking hold of it she broke the slender
thread , nnd the letter remained in her
fingers.
Emma could not see that just above
her window a good-looking young man ,
concealed also by his blinds , had been
watching her for a long timetrembling
nnd still resolute.
She opened the message arriving by
this utrango road. It wn&short , butcou-
tainod nn infinitude :
Mademoiselle : 1 love you with my whole
heart. I tuicc the liberty to write , for I cnn-
not deliiy to express tny nftection. for u
year , without nUenipUriirto Intrude , 1 have
noticed your utepi and voice. I um twenty-
fours old , and live with my mother , who la a
widow. My life Is monotonous , but you nro
my Joy , my sun. my Hopo. I am a poor
painter , n pupil of the Kcolo dm Lieim * Arts ,
but with counigo inspired by love for you I
hope to tnlio the prize of Rome this year.t
That means glory and a future. It Is of you
nlono thut 1 dream. I trust that you will
looli with favor on mo and lot mo believe
Unit you are willing to accept my honrt , my
life and tny name , which will bo celebrated ,
I promise , If you willmiiko mo Imujiy ,
I shall leave the institution in a few
months , und then I shall aslc your father to
grant mo your ndored little liand , so ilollcate ,
und which must bo so gentle.
I cover It with kisses , that dear whlto
Imml , und Uncol bcforo you.
FEHS.VND GIH.UU > .
Emma read and ro-road the delight
ful page , with lips half opened by a ra
diant smile , eager eyes and a palpitat
ing heart , agitated and entranced by
this first love letter.
The broken thread was near hor. No
breeze , no breath moved it. It seemed
to bo waitinc for nn answer. She took
a white rose which was ninncd to her
corsage and attached it quickly to the
suspended thread.
The rose mounted toward heaven as
by magic , oven as the letter had de
scended , and followincr'it with her eye ,
15mma felt that her heart fiow away
with the llower. For a long time she
had noticed this intelligent young man ,
who turned so pale whenever ho mot
hor.
hor.Thus
Thus an enchanting romance com
menced , the romance forever new and
heavenly , full of the delicious intoxica
tion of tirstlove , in which the keenest
sensations are cxintod by the exchange
of a look , " a sudden meeting , the
thousand nothings , to others invisiiblo.
but to lovers fraught with terrible
anguish or supreme joy.
The ingenious correspondence con
tinued. Emma ventured to write in
her turn , experiencing exquisite happi
ness in imparting the facW of her
lonely life , which had been very sad
since'the death of her mother. Her
father was a merchant. IIo often re
turned sombro nnd nbaont-mindoil , she
said , allowing herself to bo drawn art
lessly into the joy of unbosoming her
self to her friend.
Fcrnand was now her only thought.
Three mouths after she had received
the first letter , her father , O. Forald ,
on returning one evening from his
counting room , said to her :
"Don't sing so all the time , Emma ,
come this way , I wish to speak to you on
an important subject. You area large ,
sensible girl. You will bo sev
enteen years old in a month. Listen to
me , my darling. "
' 1 am listening , papa. What would
you like ? You look as though you were
going to scold mo , " replied the girl ,
lowering her largo black eyes.
Emma was no lontrer a more child.
Though she still were short dresses and
a cunning red npron tied with a big
knot behind in a little-girl style , her
elegant and rounded term was. already
full of promise. She was nt that charm-
in r ace of change when the young miss ,
without thought of care , becomes an
intelligent and loving boing.
"Don't remain standing on ono foot
line a bird on the perch ; sit down. "
"Yes , papa. "
"I was saving that you are a young
person well ! well ! of an ago to think
of murriuirc. "
At these words Emma's cheeks turned
redder than the cherry ribbon around
her neck. Shu remained motionless ,
opposite her father , poised unsteadily
on the edge of an arm-chair , with eyes
wide opuii and breathing suspended ,
anxiously awaiting what would como
next.
"I wish , " continued Mr. Ferald , "to
provide you with a husband who loves
you very much. "
ICmniiismiled while thinking of For-
mind. Certainly her father was right.
Farnnnd loved her and alwaye would
love hor.
"The ono who asked your hand Is a
man whom I love and esteem beyond
measure. lie is good , sterling in char
acter , rich und honorable. I am certain
that ho will promote your happiness.
But you know him already. It is M.
Morizot , the good Morlxot , my friend of
twenty years' standing. ' *
Erhinn turned pale and cried in her
distress :
"I will never marry M. Morizot. IIo
is old. I don't love him , I don't want
him. I can't have him. "
"Be isn't old. Ho Is but thirty-five
years , und just the man , well proportioned
tioned und of excellent physique. In
deed , he Ib the husband that I have had
in mind for you. "
"Father , it is impossible. "
"Why" , mademoiselle ? Why do you
not wish to marry V"
"Why , father , do you wish mo to
marry M. Morizot ? "
"My daughter ; I will reply to you as
an intelligent woman , You often see
me anxious. It is because I have serious
embarrassment. My affairs are in a bud ,
very bad way. I have largo payments
to moot. An extension is necessary for
my paper , but I have other obligations
in arrears. A terrible crisis has oc
curred , Money must bo had im
mediately ; if not If not the alterna
tive is failure nnd ruin that is to say ,
death , for I should not survive my
shame , " said Mr. Forald ; while his eyes
filled with tears nt the thoughts which
tortured him.
Emmu throw herself upon his neck ,
embracing him with tenderness , greatly
moved by the tears of her hither , whom
she had never soon weep except on the
duv when her mother died ,
"If you marry Morizot ho becomes my
partner and brings me 100,001) ) francs/
that is to say , ylionor , fortune nnd se
curity , in place of shame , want and
deathl"
"Oh , father ! what < Jo you say , ) , Every
body knows that you are an honorable
man , What is this failure ? "
"My child , it is the most frightful
cnlamity that call befall a man. Remember -
member that the house was founded by
the grandfather ot-my father more than
a hundred your ? ngo ; that the honor of
the house is prpy rbtal on the ex
changes. I assure you I would sooner
die- than hnvo ourlhimo dishonorodi"
For a mlnuto Emnjo. romained'in sus
pense. Grave ana death-like in look ,
she balanced her love for Fernnnd and
her filial affection. " "
M. Forald , soointf'thnt she hesitated ,
fell on his hnccsidf3tractcd , imploring
honor. >
Vanquished , she > slowly uttered those
words , which could scarcely find ex
pression :
"Father , I will obey you. "
Then hastily retiring to her room ,
she passed the night in stifling sobs
that she might not bo heard.
The next day she wrote to FcrnanJ ,
withdrawing from the engagement , not
daring to toll him of the terrible secret
of her father , but informing him of her
approaching and inevitable marriage.
Fornund In despair wrote in extrava
gant terms beseeching and threatening
by turns the ono whom ho loved. Ho
sought a personal Interview , but she
would not. receive him.
Mine. G Irani , who had boon made a
confidante by her son , called In his bo-
luilf on M. Forald , but met with a re
fusal which loft no hone.
One morning the young girl found a
note at her window. It contained but
two lines :
"I will kill myself , I assure you , the
hour yea are married. "
Emma did everything to forget this
love so violent nnd to which her heart
yielded so willinglj , but sbo vtiw
obliged to look often at the anxious and
careworn faro of her father , to brace up
her courage for supporting the presence
of Morizot , who had commenced his
courtship and called regularly every
day.Ho
Ho was an attractive bachelor , cheer
ful , courtly and good iiaturcd. Having
known her from her childhood , the love
ho now felt grow out of his former ten
derness us au elder brother.
The poor child endeavored to hide her
grief , and ho mistook her downcast mid
resigned looksjor timidity.
Finally , the day for the marriage was
fixed , and Ernuia , put on the marriage-
ring , which she took olt as boon as she
was alone. Everybody was congratulat
ing and envying her , for M. Morizot
was a fine match ; but the poor girl
answered only by a faint smile. She
did not oven look at the mirror when
she tried on the white marriage dress ,
that wonderful and triumphant robe
which all young girls anticipate in
their drnams.
Ono evening , when for the fli-nt time
her betrothed had touched her hair
with a kiss , she drew back quickly , uttering
'
tering a cry , and repelling him'with
her hands. It had not occurred to her
that her promise to bo Morizot's wife
gave him the right to klbs hor. . As she
threw herself back impulsively he tried
to sustain her , but she withdrew from
his nrms.
"What is the matter , Emma ? Speak
to mo. Ono would think you were
ufraia. What have I done ? 1. who love
you so tenderly , my dear Emma ? "
Ho took her hands and carried them
to ins lips , kissing them passionately.
" 1 do not wish you to kiss me , " exclaimed -
claimed the young girl , with vehe
mence.
"Ah ! Emma , you do not love mo. "
"Yes , I do. I love you very much.
You have always boon very kind to me. "
"You like me as an old friend , but
that is not love , toxcsitoyour aversion.
But why do you decide to be my wife ? "
"T will bo your wife. Itis necessary.1'
"My dear little friend , I do not com
prehend you. Como here , near to me.
1 will touch the tips of your little lin
gers. Have confidence in me. Re
member you have always confided to mo
your secrets. Your father must have
told you that my only desire is to make
you hapoy. I have esteemed him very
much during many long years. I know
that he is at present seriously embar
rassed. It will give mo pleasure to be
his partner. We will form but one
family , having the same interests and
affections. Those are my sincere senti
ments. "
"Oh , how unhappy I am ! " cried the
girl.Moriot
Mori/ot regarded her eyes intently.
Ho scrutinized that brow knit with
anguish , and broke out sadly :
"Ah ! I now understand it. It is to
save your father that you consent. ' '
Not daring to say yes , her head fell
disconsolately.
"Poor fool that I was to think that
you loved me. For some mouths your
eyes were bo bright , your voice so sweet ,
that I thought I believed that your
heart responded to mine. "
Ho remained thoughtful for a moment ,
then said pleasantly :
"If you do not love mo pet. you will
love mo some day. Do you not think
so ? "
She looked at him sadly , but could not
tell a falsehood.
"It must be that yon love another , " ho
broke out impetuously.
Emma moaned and concealed her face
in her hands. It was an acknowledge
ment.
"Who is this happy one that you love ?
Does ho love you , too ? Oh ! Etiima , how
you make mo suffer ! "
At last ho drew the secret from her ,
listening , palo as a sheet , with breath
less attention.
When the recital was concluded ho
said in a trembling voice :
"My dear girl you do not love me.
You love another. I would Do a wretch
to accept the sacrifice that you are
ready to mako. I restore your freedom
nnd in order that you may never regret
this release , I will still bo your father's
partner. Bo happy , Emma , but at least
Itoup a place for mo in your remem
brance.
Beaming with joy , with glowing eyes
and outstretched arms , she fell on Mor-
izot's neck and showered kisses upon
him , brcathinc out these words , of them
selves BO cruelly ironical :
"Oh. how happy you make me ! I7ow
much I love you ! "
Throe months later iSinma married
Ferdinand Girnrd , but M. Morizot could
not face the happiness of his rival.
Having loft almost * the whole of his
fortune to M. Forald , ho embarked for
Senegal , where ho died from exhaus
tion , bereft of strength to struggle for
nn existence which had become a burden -
