Ornnil Central Station Attendant * .
"A practical demonstration of the wisdom
of establishing a free messenger and guide
service at the New York Central station In
Now York City was given a few days ago , "
remarked a gentleman who had Just returned
from the metropolis this morning. "I went
to the big town on the 9:20 : evening train ,
arriving at New York at 7:30 : , on time to a
minute , as usual. In the car that I was In
was a charming old lady who had a big
satchel. When we got off the train I pro
posed to carry the old lady's baggage to
the street from away up at the Forty-fourth
street end of the depot. It's a long walk , you
know , from that end to the Forty-second
street exit , and the old lady was all alone.
I was Just about to take her satchel from
the porter , when a smart young man In a
blue uniform , wearing a round red hat , such
as British soldiers wear , and having em
broidered on the front In gold letters , 'Grand
Central Station Attendant , ' stepped up to her ,
touched his hat and politely asked where she
wished to go. He took the satchel from the
porter and carried It to the entrance , where ,
after protecting her from the horde of hack-
men , he put her and her baggage on a cross
town car and went back to the station. Of
course , It was only what he was hired to
do , but ho did It fo nicely that I was greatly
pleased , and the little old lady was pleased
also. There was a troubled look on her face
when she stepped off the train , but when
she saw the uniform of the young fellow
who spoke to her It all disappeared. She
know she was In good hands and need not
worry more. That messenger service Is a
great Institution. When a lady boards a New-
York Central train for New York
nlono now she knows that she will
bo protected from the time the
train starts till she Is safely In a
carriage or cur In New York City. What
more could be asked of a railroad than that ? "

CIK JLE 01IECK SYSTEM.
Jlnjr lie 1'ut In Operation In Unmtm fry
OrRnnliert tabor.
"What Is the 'circle check' system ? "
This Is a question that Is now being asked
In labor circles of Omaha several times a
day by the many workers who arc anxiously
looking for some method to strengthen or *
eanlzed labor , and thereby benefit the great
mass of workers. In explanation of the
circle check system It may bo said that It
Is a proposition of the central labor union
of a city to hare printed a number of checks
with amounts ranging from 5 cents up to $5
to be given only to mcrchanti against whom
there IB no ban of organized labor. The
merchant Is supposed to keep a supply of
checks on hand to be given out with goods
sold In amounts corresponding with the sale
when required by the purchaser. Bach union
man , or any member of his family , when
buying goods Is expected to only purchase
where the checks arc to be had , and at the
end of each month turn In to his union all
checks received during the month. It a mem
ber of the union falls to turn In any checks
It Is known by the other members of the
union that he patronizes unfair stores and
can then be dealt with according to the rules
and regulations of the union. In several of
the eastern cities It Is said this scheme 1ms
proven to bo a great success , and from the
talk now going on In Omaha labor circles
It Is quite probable that the Central Labor
union will take the matter up at an early
date and give It a trial. In Newark , N. J. ,
where the scheme proved to be a success ,
the merchants paid back 3 per cent to the
union officers upon presentation of the circle
checks , 114 per cent going to the union pre
senting the checks and 1 % per cent going to
the Central Labor union. This brought in
sufficient revenue to meet all of the regular
expenses of the union and In every way
strengthened the organizations , according to
the statement Issued by the Central Labor
union of that city , which was received In
Omaha by Secretary Fisher a few days ago.
The committee appointed by the Omaha
Central Labor union to Investigate this sys
tem Is enthusiastically In favor of adopt
ing It.

SCANNELL WILL VISIT LEO

a Journey to Konie.
Bishop Scannell of the diocese of Omaha
will leave today on a trip to Rome. This
Is the bishop's first official visit to the cen
ter of papal power , although he was familiar
with the greater part of Europe before he became -
came a bishop. In discussing his journey
yesterday the bishop said that It was
simply a formal visit , in accordance with
the rules of his church , which require every
bishop to make a pilgrimage to Rome at
stated periods. The English bishops are ex
pected to make the trip every five years ,
while In this country the bishops arc only re
quired to cross the water once In a decade.
As this Is the last year of the period , every
bishop In the United States who has not al
ready performed the duty will go to Rome ,
and Bishop Scannell expects to have abundant
company on his Journey. Ho will travel
slowly and return by another route , arriving
In Omaha some time in the latter part of the
summer.

n Speedy Determination.
When the Board of County Commissioners
adjourned Friday the members had fully de
cided to call a special election on the. Platte
canal bond proposition. It was expected that
when they met yesterday the call would bo
Issued , but It was not , and the board went
further and took the position of refusing
to Issue It.
This action was by a vote of 3 to 2 ,
Messrs. Williams , Llvesey and Jenkins be
ing In the affirmative , and Stenberg and Sutton -
ton In the negative. The business was In
committee of the whole. When formally sub
mitted the report was adopted.
The board was at once notified that It
would bo made the party defendant to a
mandamus action In the supreme court. Mr.
Patterson protested against the action of the
board and stated that the papers were al
ready prepared and no time would bo lost
In testing the constitutionality of the law In
this way. Mr. Patterton said that he hoped
the commissioners would not throw any ob
stacles In the way of an early adjudication
of the suit. Several of the members assured
him that nothing of the kind would be done ,
as the commissioners were anxious to know
how the law would bo as construed by the
supreme court.
Since last vreek the board has been In
recess , so that the first business taken up
at 2 o'clock was to receive the report of the
committee of the whole. The report was
adopted , four voting in favor , and Button
alone voting against.
The report stated that the requisite num
ber of voters , 2,500 and over , had signed
the petition , calling for the special election ,
but upon due consideration a majority rf
the committee of the whole recommended
that the prayer of the petitioners be denied ,
and that the board rcfuso to call a peclal
election upon the question of submitting
bonds for constructing a canal.
The committee based Its refusal tipoii the
grave doubts which It entertained , artlng
under legal advice , as to the constitutionality
of the canal law , and for the further reason
that there was no doubt whether a canal could
be constructed with the difference In amount
between the present Indebtedness of Doug
las county and 10 per cent of the assessed
valuation of the property of Douglas county.
MATTERS OF ROUTINE BUSINESS.
Sitting In business session the county com
missioners yesterday passed upon a few mat
ters of minor consequence. The board was
requested to signify Its willingness to bring
Leavenworth street to grade , extending from
Forty-eighth street west to the state fair
grounds , provided the street railway agreed
to lay a track to the fair grounds. Pi iperty
owners along the route petitioned for this.
Chairman Williams offered a resolution that
the board do so on condition that the city
bear one-half of the expense. The resolution
will be disposed of at the next meeting.
District No. 57 requested the board to re
lieve It of an asseisment of $514 levied for
the purpose of paying off a bond Issue. It
appeared on Investigation that this school dis
trict Is out of debt and the levy was can
celed.
The board meets Tuesday morning at 10
o'clock.

Goobcl Released from Custody.
N. C. Goebcl , the young man arrested
Wednesday at the request of Sheriff Hubbard
of Sioux Falls , was released by Judge Ijerka
yesterday , as no one appeared to take
him Into custody. The boy admits that he
was wanted for alleged seduction , but It
transpires that the oillccrs at Sioux Falls
'nave no complaint upon which to base a war
rant for his arrest and have been waiting
for the grand Jury to take action In the
premises. Judge Berka had no grounds for
holding him In the absence of proof that ho
had committed a crime.

Homo nnil Stopped the Truln.
PASADENA , Cal. , April 27. Mies Lou
Wilson , a 20-year-old and pretty young
woman , frustrated a dastardly attempt to
wreck the passenger train leaving Pasadena
on the Southern Callforla railway at 7:28 :
o'clock Thursday night. When the train
was within three blocks of the spot where
two IIURO boulders had been placed upon the
track the bravo woman forced her way Into
a neighboring residence , seized a lighted
lamp and succeeded In signaling the train
to a standstill just In the nick of time.
Miss Wilson Is the daughter of S. Jay Wil
son of this city. She was returning to her
homo on Elm street In the suburbs of town
at about 7:30 : o'clock and made a short cut
by going a few rods along the track of the
railway. A short distance from the Elm
street crossing she encountered some ob
struction over which she stumbled and feelIng -
Ing about In the dark was horrified to dis
cover two huge boulders and a quantity of
sidewalk planking placed upon the track with
the Intention of wrecking the passenger
train duo at the crossing at 7:35. : She set
to work with all her strength to remove the
obstruction , but found It was utterly Impos-
slbla to budco It. Whllo tugging at It she
heard the whlstlo of the locomotive an It
left Pasadena station , which mc.tnt that
within five minutes It would come whizzing
along. With rare presence of mind Miss
Wilson rushed Into an adjacent yard and
burst Into the kitchen of a neighboring
house , seized a lighted kerosene lamp and
rushed out , followed by the Inmates of the
house , who believed she was demented. She
reached the track Just in time to signal and
stop the castbound train within forty feet of
the obstruction.
