In tho shattering of tho long-cherlshcd am
bition to havo this city otico more tho homo
of ft bishop of their denomination, lllahop
Charles C. McCaho, who was assigned to
mako his episcopal rcsldenco In Omaha by
tho last general conference of tho Mmh
odlst Kplscopnl church, has been unex
pectedly ordered to South America to pre
eld n over tbo mUslon conferences In that
Held,
lllshop McCabe'B residence In this city
was established last May ami shortly nttor
the adjournment ot thu quadrennial session
of the general conference tho bishop, or, us
he Is more affectionately known to Meth
odists all over tho country, "Chnololn"
McCabe, came to this city uud arranged for
npartments In a prominent family hotel.
The bishop remained here but n short time
when he was called east to preside over
various conferences and to confer with
other members ot the Methodist bishopric.
It tu expected that be would return to
Omaha shortly before the holidays and
henceforth mako bis residence hero.
Illaliop'a Vlalt In llrlrf.
lllshop McCabe will return to Omaha, but
will not tarry long. Ho will nrrlvo next
Saturday morning and on Sunday will bo
assisted In dedicating a church at Gretna
by Presiding Bldor J. W. Jennings. After
a few days here ho will leavo for South
America and will In all probability bo ab
sent for at least a year.
"I havo Just been Informed of the assign
ment ot lllshop McCnbo to tho South Amer
ican missions," Bald J. V. Jennings, pre
siding older of tho Omaha district. "It Is
needless for mo to say that I shuro In tho
disappointment that this Information will
glvo tho Mothodlsts of this city and state.
Wo have cherished the ambition to havo an
episcopal residence established In this city
over elnco the late Ulshop Newman was ro
noved from Omaha and wero successful In
having such designation mado at tho last
general conference.
"lllshop McCabo will carry with him to
his new field tho prayers of Methodism of
tho cntlro world. Wo reallzo that It Is a
dangerous mUslon because of tho climatic
conditions that ho will be called upon to
bear. No other bishop, however, Is better
equipped constitutionally to perform tho
labors In tbo South American field, nishop
McCabo Is strong and robust aud will prob
ably bo nblo to acclimate himself to tho
heat and fitful temperature as successfully
as ho combated with the terrors of army
and prison life during tho civil war. lllshop
Henry W. Warren, who presided over the
last conference held In this city, preceded
lllshop McCabo In South America, -and
while In Ilrazll was stricken with a malady
peculiar to that cllmato and his life hung
long In the balance."

erto JOnllu'itfnrd,
Ticket brokers In Omaba nnd elsewhere
aro considerably excited regarding nn an
nouncement that Is being given much promi
nence by tho Milwaukee road. Placards
bearing tho following Information In totters
of black-faco typo so plain that ho who
runs may read havo been posted In conspic
uous places:
"Unused tickets of this company's Issue,
also unused portions of tickets Issued by
other railway companies, reading good for
passago over tho lines of tho Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul railway will bo redeemed
from original purchaser or owner under es
tablished rules."
Tbo announcement boars tho signature of
General Passenger Agent I A. Mlllor.
"This Is tbo first Instance t know of,"
said Qeorgs Haynes, city passenger agent
of tbo Milwaukee, "wbero any railroad com
pany has made prominent the fact that It
will redeem unused portions of tickets pur
chased In good faith and remaining unused
and In tho hands of the original purchaser.
It Is true that such n rule has been effective
with all lines In a general way, but the fact
has been kept rather 'sub rosa,' and tho or
dinary traveler who finds hlmsolf with a
ticket In bis possession rarely ever goes to
tho road Issuing It for a return of bis money
except as a last resort,
"It la through this means, moro than nny
other, that ticket brokers havo been enabled
to do a thriving business. In nine casca
out of ten a man having a tlckot In his
possession which he finds ho cannot use will
dispose of It to a broker, In case he makes
any disposition of It at all, and ot courso
doca not by any means realize Its faco value.
"This practice ot redeeming unused tickets
has been effective with the Mllwaukeo as
with other roads heretofore, but nevor, I
think, has such proralncnco been given tho
matter. Our Instructions relative to the
posting of tho notlco whero our patrons can
easily seo It havo Just been recolved, bo
that tho Milwaukee's Idea of giving publicity
to tho announcement Is something now."

Union Pacific operating ofnclals are by no
means discouraged with tho performances
of tho now compound consolidated passen
ger engines which havo Just been received
and mado their Initial trips last week. It
la truo that the engines have not come up
to expectations In life point of running
tlmo, but this U accounted for In tho fact
that thpy are new nnd havo not yet settled
down to tho point from which the best
Borvlco can bo expected
"Thero Is no reason to doubt tho efficiency
of thcso now onglnes," said an ofllclal of
tho opetntlng department. "The freight
englneH of similar typo to tho new passen
ger locomotives havo given tho utmost
satisfaction and the latter will give equally
k&s good service as soon as they have boon
in operation a short tlmo. Ono of the en
gines was delayed. Friday on lta eastern
trip with the eastbound Chicago Special
because of slipping an eccentric, but that Is
an accident llablo to occur to any engine.
In this connection It may be cited that ono
ot our oldest and boat passenger engines,
pulling tho train opposlto tills ono In ques
tion, vhh delayed tho samo day becauso of
a natural accident to Its mechanism."
Working Hour Unclianirrrt.
The runmr that tho working hours ot tho
Union Pacific shops In this city aro to bo
reduced from nlno to eight hours per day
Is authoritatively denied from an official
HCince. "Such changos as these," said an
ofllclal, "aro always made at tho beginning
of each mouth, and tho fact that no such
order wns mado December 1 practically In
sures that tho working hours will noHie
reduced timing tho current month. Whether
or not such n change will be mado In tho
futuro dopends entirely on tho work that
tho shop forces aro called upon to perform."
