Nothing Interested mo moredtirinpr n recent
trip ( thread than the commercial travelers
with whom I fell In on tlio curs and In the
hotel * of Knglnnd nnd Scotland , says II. I.
Fisher In the Merchant Traveler. The "com
mercial,11 as they are familiarly called , usu
ally travel In third class compartments In the
railway cars , nnd are served In sop irate din-
hi ) ; rooms nt the hotels. There was nt least n
shadow of nn excuse for proclaiming myself
a commercial traveler , and acting on the sug
gestion of a Scotch friend I did so at the next
hotel. Instead of being .tnketi up to the
coffee room , the porter took mo up to tlio
commercial room , n largo , ntry np.irtmont ,
with bright peat fires burning nt either end ,
nnd a heavy mahogany dinner table ready
spread In the middle of the lloor. A gentle
man with a largo sample cose open bcsido
him. uos writing letters nt a table
near a window. Ho looked up
nnd nodded pleasantly ns I cntccd. . A
few minutes later a 'stout young Kngllshmnn
with a pleasant address wus ushered In by
the porter , who carried n pair of heavy grip
sacks which ho deposited in ono corner of
the room. The newcomer bowed to us as ho
entered , nn act of civility that astonished mo
after my coffco room experience with Eng
lish travelers , who almost uniformly ignored
the presence of others In the room. Two
largo tureens were brought in und dinner
was announced.
"I believe I was first come , gentlemen , "
said the man who bad been writing , as ho
took the scat nt tbo bend of the table.
"And I last , " said tbo other , taking the
opposite end.
s , . "Oxtnll soup , gentlemen ; may I assist you
to some of 111" said the man at the head , lift
ing the cover before him.
. "Scotch broth. Mr. President ; will you
try 1U" replied tno other , us ho uncovered
the tureen.
AV'hcn all had been served and the soup
Crunk , the dishes were cleared nwav and a
joint of mutton was placed at ono end of the
table and n spitted fowl nt the other.
After the last course n plate was passed
and each deposited u penny upon it. These
wore dropped In a wooden box on the mantel
shelf and pipes were lighted.
The gentleman nt the head was always ml-
dressed as "Mr. President" In conversation.
The commercial man who h.is been longest in
the house Is expected to preside nt dinner
and the last ono to arrive sits opposite him
nnd acts as vice or assistant presiding ofllccr ;
the two must cnivo the rousts , nnd it is
customary for each to offer the other the
first cut befoio serving tbo other i ests.
Tbo gentlemen in tbo room when the
gong .sounds uro expected to sit down to
gether , but if ono should come in late , ns Is
often the rase , ho may ask .permission to Join
them , a request that is always granted with
n show of pleasure. There is no hnsto at
these meals , nn hour generally being con
sumed in discussing the good things , nnd
thcro Is no fuming over the waits when
ono conI-M ) gives place to another. Should a
pcii > on wish to leave to catch the train or
keep uujippointincnt , ho must address the
president , state his reason for w islting to go ,
and asked to bo excused. A person who
would push his chair back and slide out in
American style would bo voted a boor.
The commercial travelers maintain libraries
of tbo choicest English and American books
in their dining rooms , take c.uo of their or
phans in schools of their own and accomplish
much philanthropic nnd churitablo work by
the penny collections taken ut the close of
their dinners.
The commercial room Is the general rendez
vous nnd living worn of the British drummer.
There ho llnds a desk nnd chair when has un
order to write out ; his mull is deposited on a
table where ho can pee it when entering ;
there is n cosy lito burning in tbo grate when
the weather is damp or cool ; a servant is al
ways In waiting there to take -his shoes and
fetch him n pair of slippers from tlio long row
nmged against the wall when ho comes
in , und theie ho can always get a cup of tea
and a slice of toast on a few minutes' ' notice.
His breakfast nnd tea are not as foinuil as bis
dinner. Ho may go down when he likes In
thu moining and read the papers by the fire
while bis chop or llth is being broiled. The
servant who takes his order will see that ho
hus a cup of tea brewed especially for him
and will Hank bis meat plato with u loaf of
delicious bread , from widen lie may cut or
break as much ns ho pleases , nnd a plate of
butter bulls , some salted like our own und
others without salt. Tim meat and bread nro
inviting , the ten excellent nnd the coffco
abominable. They add chlckory to their cof
fee und spoil Its llavor.
The drummer abroad takes life leisurely ,
has comfortable , home-llko hotels , gets u
( .hotter bill of faro , but better cooking ,
thusscs more plainly , makes shorter trips on
( faster but less comfortable trains ami draws
a smaller salary than his AmerienH brother.
He does not mix with the guests of the hotels ,
but keeps the company of his kind , is treated
with a dignified courtesy by his colleagues ,
compared with which the social lifo among
our drummers seems rude , nnd Is a good fel
low and u pleasant traveling companion.

In the hummer of 1700 Pontluu arrived
hi St. Louis to visit his friend and old
acquaintance , St. Ango do Hollorivo ,
tnon nothiir governor of northern Loulsl-
tuni. Do Itc41oiivo hud booncommnnd -
ant of the French gtirrlbon ut Fort
Cnnrlcs until July , 170-3 , under the pro
visions of the trenly of Paris , ho hud
surrendered that stronghold to the Eng
lish nnd had removed his troops to Si.
Louis. As commandant nt Fort Charles
ho Imd boon closely connected with Pon-
tine's nmbltiouq Behcuio.s , nnd ho alone
Imd boon nblo to ] ) or undo the Ottawa
chief to bury th6 hatehot when all hla
nlllcs hud deserted him. The fame of
Pontlnc at the tlmo of his visit to St.
Louis was ns widespread as tlmt of Grant
or Sherman In these dnys. From the
Mississippi to the Atlantic , and , Indeed ,
throughout all Europe , his ntimo was n
synonym for savage courage and cruelty.
Ills deeds has terrorized the English
and delighted the French. Among the
Indians ho had been looked upon as the
ono who was to relieve them from the
oppression of the whites and restore
their condition to 113 original simplicity
and security. IIo had formed that great
confederation of many dlllorcnt tribes
dwelling hundreds of miles apart , occu
pying the country between the Missis
sippi and the Allegheny , the Ohio and
the great lakes , to resist the power and
encroachment of the English. He had
won the friendship and conlidonco of the
chivalrous Montcahn at Quebec ; had
distinguished himself In the ambuscade
and defeat of General Uraddock ; Imd
planned the massacre at Miohillimackl-
nac ; had matured the plan and appointed
the tlmo for attacking the forts and set
tlements of the English pioneers , by
which more than 2,000 of thorn lost their
lives , and had only been prevented from
capturing Detroit by the treachery of an
Indian girl.
ThcbO exploits had cast a glamour of
romance about his name and excited in
the people of St. Louis the most intoiihe
de.siro to behold the great chieftain. St.
Ango Bollerivo gave him a most cordial
rocoptian nt his own quarters in the
lioubo of Mine. Choutuau. and ho was
feted and caressed by the principal inhab
itants of the village. About this time ,
however , It became evident that the
plans of Pontiac , although promising in
their inception , and aided by ono of the
greatest nations in Europehad all failed.
Ills Indian allies had all forsaken him ,
and his best friends among the French
had porscaded him to sue for peace.
Crushed by disappointment the ehiof
sought relief for his sorrows in the flow
ing bowl. His lifo during the few months
ho lived in St. Louis was one continuous ,
inglorious debauch. The great Pontiao
had fallen to rise no more.
AYhilo in this condition some French
friends at Cahokla , a village across the
river , made historic by the footprints of
La Saho , invited him to make them a
visit. Despite the entreaties of do
Bollerivo ho accepted the invitation.
Dressed in his richest robes and adorned
with caglo feathers and sparkling beads ,
ho crossed the river never to return
alive. Ho took with him a few of his
faithful followers to act as a military es
cort. For a few days Pontiao was a
great attraction at Cahokla. People
eamo for miles to catch a glimpse of the
gi-oitt chief , but instead of the great
chief they saw only a bloated , drunken ,
degraded savage. IIo drank continuous
ly , and ono day while stupefied by whis-
liy ho wandered into the woods surround
ing the village , where ho was toma
hawked by a Kaskaskia Indian who had
been hired by an English trader named
Williamson to kill the. Ottawa chief , for
which act ho was given a barrel of
whisky , nnd the whole tribe proceeded
to celebrate the event by trotting glor
iously drunk.
When do Bollorivo heard of the as
sassination of Pontiao ho caused the
bod.y to bo brought to St. Louis and
preparations to bo made for an imposing
funeral. Near the ancient tower which
stood at the corner of Fourth and A\ral-
nut streets his grave was dup and there
the fallen chieftain was buried with all
tile honors of war. There was general
mourning among the inhabitants of St.
Louis , for the village was a French one ,
and Pontiac had always been the friend
and ally of the French. But that barrel
of whisky , which was the price of his
lifo , cost tlio Knsknbkians dear , for the
surrounding Indians , friends of the Ot
tawa , hearing of his cowardly assassi
nation , raised the war cry and almost
exterminated the Illinois Indians in an
indiscriminate slaughter. Such wus the
end of Pontiac , ono of if not the great
est of American Indians.

HAD A KATTiaNG TIME.
A Dray Horse. Plays Havoc in a New
Yorlc Saloon.
A big dray-horse rolled down the basement -
mont stair.- , and into the saloon of George
Meyer , at 51" Pearl street , yesterday.
For two hours the horse about owned
things , and there was a general wreck
within the reach of his hcols. The horse
was hitched to a dr.ty belonging to a
lithographing company , and at 5 o'clock
was passing the Pearl street saloon.
"Billy , " the driver , was on the soatsays
a Now York dispatch to the St. Louis
Globe-Doinocmt. Suddenly the homo
and began to tremble , and somebody
yelled that ho had the blind staggers.
"Billy" tlio driver , jumped down , and
with the aid of a do/.on mensoon had the
horse lying on the sidewalk. In its fron-
xy the horse kicked itself free from the
harness. Before the crowd was nwnro of
it , the liorrio had struggled to the top of
the stairway loading down into Meyer's
saloon. The animal balanced there for a
moment and then plunged to the bottom.
The frame of tlio big double doors WIIB
strong , and it didn't glvo way under the
KiOO pounds of horseflesh. The horse
was jammed down on his haunches which
wore cut nnd bleeding from the broken
glass. The fall had nmdo it wilder than
over , and by tising its head as a batter
ing ram it broke down the door frame
work and rolled in upon the floor of the
saloon.
Then the fun began. Neat little pyr
amids of glass piled up behind the bar
camu down with a clatter under the
jarring , and the horso's hoofs began to
fly out in all directions. They knocked
the wash tand , jusl Inside the door , into
kindling wood , and broke the supply-
pipe , letting the water gush over the
lloor. They split the long mahogany
bar rail , and loft the imprints of their
shoes on everything in rangb. Saloon
keeper Meyer kept at a dlstan co in despair -
spair for a time , but flnally saw his op
portunity and jumped on the horse's
head. A few of the loungers in the sa
loon came to his assistance , and the
quadruped's logs wore tied. Meyer sent
out for a policeman , , but the olHcer
shrugged his shoulders and said ho
would have to leave the driver to look
out for his own horso.
The animal , meanwhile , was lying in
a big pool of blood , which was flowing
from a dozen cuts. It began to look as if
Meyer would have to house his umvol-
como visitor all night , and ho made an
other elTort to Htlr up the minion of the
law. The policeman was flnally por-
snaded to send for ono of the big ambu
lances belonging to the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
AVhon it arrived Meyer saw the horse
wlndlasicd up the stairs and carefully
laid on u bed of straw. Then the crowd
dispersed and Meyer nut up the rest of
the night guarding his stock of liquors ,
with a big gap loading to the street
where the door had been.

A mcctltiE was hold In the court of THE
UEH building yesterday afternoon by the
members of the press of this city nnil Invited
friends to piy tribute to the memory of
Ottomnr Hobern Kothiickcr , connected with
newspaper work In thli city until the titno
of his death , n tow d.iys ngo.
The respect felt for the genius that had
placed him In the front r.mk of western Jour
nalists was manifest by the Inrtfo attcndunuo
of those that gathered together yesterday
afternoon to listen to tbo kindly
words of eulogy from the lips of
thoaoQ who knew him best and
who loved him , and from others not so well
acquainted with him personally who would
pay tribute to the genius that iniulo him ex
traordinary as n newspaper writer.
Elevated In a commanding position in the
rear of the presiding ofllccr , stood a largo
crayon portrait of the dead journalist that
truthfully delineated his features.
Mr. Frank Morrisscy , who was closely
associated with Mr. Hothackor in life , was
selected to preside over. the meeting. Mr.
Morrissey briefly stated the object of the
meeting , and said :
" \Vo hnvo met hero In respect to n man
distinguished in n noble profession. In many
respects a remarkable character and ono of
striking individualities , which emphasize his
memory with us today His faults but
served to embellish his noble qualities.
Gifted with a splendid mind ho was still in
tense in his humanity as ho was in all things.
It was his Intensity that caused him to crowd
nil of n lifetime Into half the allotted space.
His intensity perfected his friendship. Loy
alty to a- friend was with him a religious
principle. "
Mr. Morrissey then spoke at lencth upon
the loyalty of Mr. Uotlmckcr to his friends ,
but ho was n man whom few really knew. Ho
was impatient with the man who could not
understand him , and the exigencies of news
paper work often conspired against his being
rightly judged. Many deemed him
erratic or eccentiic , and while
freely acknowledging the compelling
power of his brilliancy and genius deplored
the absence of the plodding qualities which
anchor less capable men to the giind of exist
ence. Above cant , defjing the lestruint of
creed , ho revered God mid devoted hluibclf to
the fellowship of mankind ,
Major Howard , who knew the dead man
well , read a biographical sketch of his lifo ,
together with many anecdotes of his life. At
the conclusion of his remarks Major Howard
offered the following resolution :
Wlioions , In tliu providence of God and in
accordance with the laws of nature , our pro
fessional brothel , O. H.ltothaoker , has died ;
tliorefoio ,
RfhoUed , That , his professional brethren of
the press of ( Jmalia , liuie assembled , do tnko
this occasion of cxpri'oshiK their silicon ) sor-

his ability as ; i nuwapiipur man ; tholr he.irty
recognition of liK Ruiil.il. Generous character :
their nnqmilllled admission of hit , personal
and professional bni\ury , and his thorough
loyalty to his friend ? .
Unsolved , as the scmoof the newspaper men
of Omaha , That O. 41. Itothacker was , asivo
know him , onu of the > ery brightest newspaper
men of this country ; that hu was not only a
forceful editor , but u tender poet and a caustic ,
yet kind urltiu. Thoroughly versed In litera
ture , hu could detect shams. Incisive Instyle ,
ho could ell ( 'dually OVposo them.
Husolvud , Thai tturitcognlro the very great
loss that the nonsp.ipur profession has MIS-
talncd In the death of O. II. Kothaukor. Wo
loooKnlro also the loss that the llterattuo of
the country has sustained , because he could
havu boon a great author and a great poet ,
and 'had ' his llfu bccii spaiedwo bollovo hu
would havu been lOh. (
Iti'solved. That a copy of these resolutions ,
duly attested bo beii.t to his mother , who was
denied the privilege of Eoelng him before Ma
death.
Hu also rend a letter from Mr. John Mulvany ,
the celebrated artist of Chicago , a friend of
the dead man , who spnko of Mr. Hothacker
most tenderly and lovingly. Ho volunteered
to paint his portrait to bo hung in the press
club rooms.
Mr. E. Itosewnter , editor of Tun Bni : , was
then introduced by the president as "tho old
est newspaper editor of Omaha. "
"In glancing over the editorial page of the
Republican this morning. " said Mr. Kosc-
w.iter. "I was painfully struck by
a brief article on Omaha Journalism ,
clipped from an exchange published in a
neighboring village. With evident mnlico
the writer drew u sarcastic contrast between
the generous tribute paid by THE BKE to the
memory of O. II. Kothacker with some bitter
and uneomnlimentary thinirs said of him dur
ing n heated political and personal contro
versy when Jio was editing the Republican.
Now I despSo all shams , shows and false
pretenses as much as any man , and I
shall not stultify myself even on
this occasion by abject apologies for
what I have over written or
said concerning Mr. Rothncker. Whatever
I may have written or uttered I conscien
tiously believed to bo true. But the acri
monious conflicts of journalism do not and
should not extend beyond the grave. 'For
give us our trespasses as wo forgive those
who trespass against us. ' I would not exalt
or magnify the man. Ho had his faults , but
ho also possessed attributes which attracted
and attached to him many whoso friendship
and esteem are desirable.
"For myself , I never was very Intimately
nequainto'd with him The llrst intercourse
between us was by letter , when Iwrototohim
years ago offering him n position on TUB
OM UIA Biu. my attention having been at
tracted to him by a dctciiptlro letter that up-
poured in u democratic paper over his in
itials. In reply Mr. Rothackersaidho had a
permanent place in Denver and was not in a
{ option to change. When ho came to Omaha
with the late Mr. Rounds ho called upon mo
and wo exchanged cordial greetings. Soon
after wo were plunged into n
bitter political campaign and hard
blows were given and received.
In this line of newspaper work Mr. Roth
ncker was almost matchless. Ho wielded a
pen IH keen as n Damascus blade. Never very
profound , he struck from the shoulder and
cut u wide swath. Although impetuous nrd
aggressive , I found him a man willing to ac
knowledge his errors. Some mouths after
our memorable encounter wo met in the room
of George Francis Train in the Puxton , and
Mr. Itothacker camu to mo voluntarily and
offered mo his hand , acknowledging that ho
had done wrong. (1 made up with him
and from that time forward ho did not utter u
harsh word against mo and 1 don't think I
have against him .
"Rothacker. with alt his faults , was ono of
the most brilliant mill fprclblo writers I over
know. His friendships were warm and lastIng -
Ing , and to those mmlHics I pay tribute with
those who were intimately associated with
htm. " ' ' .
The following original poem was then read
by Mr. FrodNyo : , '
Ufo Is n platitude unlt's'6 Is death ,
And Brief Is one , and woidsof grlof aioso
I i-imni It doubly sormnfnl to mount ,
rinding old songs UiiVulce the newer woo.
1'or each soul sickens fur Itsulf and this
Not merely once , biu o or and o'er again
And each time rtprliiRs the need of newer cry
To meet the newness of the eternal pain.

The next speaker was lion John M. Thurs-
ton , who paid u most Mlmviii/ tribute to the
memory of Mr. Rothacker. Ho spoke of his
warm attachment to his friends , his genius
und marked ability n.s u writer. In Roth-
acker's hand , ho said , the jieti was cither u
stllletto or u broad sword. Ho gpoko of the
power of the press und the responsibilities
routing upon the shoulders of those connected
with It , Uothnckcr never put his pen to
paper but that ho attracted the attention of
men. This made him great In journalism.
There was about his writing and unstudied
naturalness and Individuality that Impressed
Itself Into nil ho wrote , uolhncker was n
Rood cltlien because ho defended good Insti
tutions and good society. These ho never at
tacked. He was not a professor of religion ,
but believed In n Gou of the universe , u
Father of man , loving , tender and gentle. I
have no doubt that ha went singing into his
death , trusting In the tender forgiveness of
the God ho acknowledged.
Hon. J. L. Webster was the next speaker.
It would bo useless , ho snld , for him to at
tempt to describe Rotlmckor. The peculiarity
of his iitUuro was such as to bo beyond
ordinary description. Not so murvelotis
as It was tieculliir. Ho st > oUo of the bril
liancy of Rothucker's mlnu and of the con
suming llro that burned within him , of his In
tensity and poct-llko genius. Ho could see
beauties in nature that others could not dis
cern. From the clouds ho could draw pictures
of beauty , pictures of fancy , elevating not
only to himself , but to those around him. But
while ho would give the dead writer full
credit for hU genius , his fervor and his Imagi
nation , It was but fair to snv
that them nto editors in Omaha still
living more competent to build up
n great paper than Rothuckcr. Men \\lio
write to men's minds as well ns to their
hearts , who can make men think and see as
ho thinks and sees. Rothacker had not
reached this standard , none possessed of Ids
fervor could. Kothuckcr had not written for
a day. but many of his better thoughts were
stored In the libraries of the world to bo road
and road again.
Mr. Will Gurloy and Judge Vaughn both
paid high tribute to their dead friend und
wore listened to with much attention.
The resolutions offered by Major Howard
were adopted by a rising vote and the meet
ing dispersed.

A Alrxlunn lieutenant Says Naughty
Tiling * About Ills President.
Crrr ov Mnxico , May 18. [ Special Tele
gram to TUB BKB. ] Mexican papers are giv
ing undue Importance to the Yturbido inci
dent. Yturbido Is n young man , a grandson
of tbo emperor of the same name , and is now
n second lieutenant in a cavalry regiment with
nooftlcinl standing , though ho has some money ,
which enables him to make frequent trips
to the United States. During the lost trip
bo is reported to hnvo said that ho repre
sented the conservative party. The local
press took up the matter , when he. boyllke ,
to set matters straight , rushed into print ,
publishing a letter In El Tiompo. in which ho
criticised the government , the liberal party
and also President Diaz , who is commander-
in-chief of the army , and for this ho was
arrested and sent to the Tlaltiilolco military
prison , where ho Is undergoing a trial for
complaining against n superior oulecr. The
authorities attach little importance to the
affair , though they ate inquiring to ascertain
whether ho was instigated by others. So
far , however. It appears that ho
wrote the impudent letter without
consulting any one , and therefore the
government is inclined to deal leniently with
him , particularly as ho claims that his ideas
arc purely republican and that ho never
dreamed of a monarchy. His attorney , Mr.
Vordugo , claims that even If ho Is found
guilty ho can bo sentenced to only one or two
mouths' imprisonment.
The Nlfjlit Despatchcr lit New York's
Postollicc Buried in Quicksand.
WoonsiDH , D. I. , May 18. James S. Par-
sells , the night dcspatchor in the Now York
postofllce , met a terrible death Satin-day even
ing in this village. Parsells was repairing a
well when it caved in , burying him nearly to
the neck. The quicksand continued to run
down and the efforts of his neighbors to extri
cate the unfortunate man only Increased
the danger. A rubber tube was procured
and placed in 1'arsclls' mouth so he could
breathe after the sand had covered his head.
After several hours' labor the sand w.is
cleared away again , but it was found that
Parsulls had been unable to retain the tube
in his mouth and had been choked to death.
Ho was u prominent citizen and leaves u
widow and u largo family.

PAHIS , May 18. The Matin publishes an
interview bad with the French journalist DCS
Soux , who was recently entertained by Bis
marck. Bismarck referred to his resig
nation as a first class funeral , but added
that he was quite alive still. Ho de
clared , among other things , that Ger
many would never attack Franco or
provoke Franco to attack her. Germany
well understands that Russia would inter
vene to protect Franco if attacked , just as
Germany would aid Austria if Rcssia at
tacked her. _ _

Nioltrurn'H Coal Find.
NioiiitAKi , Nob. , May 18. [ Special to THE
BUB. ] The coal discovery near hero by John
R. Jell , the practical minor , brings to mind
a lecture Prof. Samuel Aughy , formerly
state geologist and now geologist of Wyom
ing , delivered at Nlobrara in the summer of
18T7 after an extended trip with Tin ; Bir. :
corioaiwndent. In speaking of the coal forma
tions ho mentioned the Bunton group of blue
chalir rock as the ono of most interest to this
section. It Is In this group that grout basins
of llgnito coal nro found , and in this kind of
rocks the great coal beds of Colorado und
Utah are found. But thcro those rocks huvo
been broken up and the strata Ho at angles ,
and In this way the coal Is exposed at numer
ous places. Here , however , although there
nro the sumo kind of rocks , they Ho horizon
tally , and the only way of llndlng the cenl Is
by boring In numerous places until It Is
found. There Is not a particle of doubt but
thcro Is coal In abundance , and some day men
will stumble upon it und llnd their fortunes.
Islolinu-a thinks it has stumbled upon the
professor's foretold fortune.

If the mnotoonth century does not
