Business of Corporation Magnates’ Meeting Is Speedily Given to the Public. Presidents and vice presidents of some of the greatest corporations in this country held a secret meeting one day lately, at which affairs of much moment were dealt with. “Now, gen tlemen,” said the chairman of the meeting, “all of us understand that nothing whatever of what has hap pened here shall be alloWed to reach the public before two weeks.” Everybody said “of course,” reports the New York Press, and it was mu- tually agreed that the word was mum. Two financiers, one worth $45,000,000 and the other $7,000,000, resigned im- portant offices and the press was to be kept in the dark. The meeting broke up at 11:30. At 11:45 the “yellow slips,” a Wall street information oureau bulletin, published an accurate report of the meeting. The man of $45,000,000 was amazed beyond measure but yielded graceful- ly to the inevitable. “I should not have been astonished,” he said on sec- ond thought, “because there is always a leak. There is no den in the wide world to hide a rogue; some damning circumstance always transpires,’ to, quote Emerson, And there is not one mouth in 1,000,000 that can hold a se cret. " “If I whisper the most important matter to one of my vice presidents he will whisper it to the general man- ager, who will whisper it to a division superintendent, who will whisper it to the master mechanic, who will whis- per it to his foreman, ete. Presently it is all over the road. I make it a rule nowadays to do no whispering. I do not even take my own partners into my confidence, “I bought a railroad once upon a time,” continued this magnate, “and sueceeded .n keeping the transaction absolutely secret for one year, It was a feeder for a great system, and the agreement was that the system should operate it in its own name, “About nine months after the pur- chase I traveled over my line and saw a large force at work riprapping an embankment cnat skirted a busy little river. ‘Why are you doing that? I said to the superintendent in charge. ‘Orders from the general manager,’ he replied. I whispered to the latter: “Don't do it; it’s a mistake, The company doesn't know anything about it and the work will never be paid for, Tell your superintendent to call off his men. Keep it under your shirt, but this road was sold nine months ago.’” NO MORE “SPARE ROOM.” Flat Dwellers of the City Have No Accommodations for Out- of-Town Visitors, The flat has certain advantages, in spite of musical enthusiasts below or above it, in spite of the tube that, with its public mouth, invites all sorts of invitations to buy or sell, and excites the passing humorist to play upon it as a pipe of many notes, says the Boston Herald. The fiat discourages unexpect- ed visitors, who climb up the stairway with bags and baggage, in expectation of food and lodging. When you havea house to yourself, Uncle Amos, Aunt Luella, or Cousin Joe does not under+ stand why there should not be a room and meals, especially as they are all “blood relatives;” but so were the three daughters of the horse-leech, The fiat has just so many rooms, and they are all occupied. There is no lost room, no secret cuamber; even the despised tube is here a weapon of defense, for a well- trained servant's voice may discourage, approach, repel would-be boarders. Cousin Joe, who is not a bit fussy, ad- mits that he cannot camp out comfort- ably on the grand piano, and you prove to him that the bookcase or the chest of drawers is not a masked bedstead. The most intrepid relation shies at the enforced proximity in a flat. It is true that the spare room in Uncle Amos’ village home was often at your service in your younger days. You still remember its chief character- istics—the floor hole, through which the heat was supposed to rise from the living room below and thus “take the chill off.” This hole had some- times a thin and deceptive covering. By putting your ear to the hole you could easily ascertain the opinions of your hosts concerning your personal appearance, table manners, conversa- tion. If your entertainers were absent- minded, you discovered this hole by putting your leg through it on your way to bed. ———_. 1 Will Preach Against War. The Rev. R. C. Fedingham, vicar of Hexton, England, says he is going to America to preach his remarkable doc- trine of “War and Christianity.” He considers it possible that Christianity, which died as far back as, the fourth cetitury, may be restored because the churches don’t try to teach that a young man cannot commit a greater sin than that of enlisting. He says all churches are apostate. He declares Christian churches should excommuni- cate generals and colonels till they give up their profession. How can a man be a Christian, he asks, who takes money for murdering his fellow men? | modesty is protected. Daily atin _|If the churches were.

Mr. Masters left home about 9 o'clock yesterday morning. Soon after his departure his wife heard a shot, but gave little attention to it. When night came and he had not re- turned she became alarmed and notified the neighbors, who formed a searching party, but did not succeed in finding him until past midnight.

Washington, Nov. 19.—Ithas been found that the Republican majority in the house of representatives in the | fitty-ninth congress will be 116.

Russell, I. T., Nov. 19 —The cham- pion acre of potatoes of the year is claimed by Campbell Russell, of thie place. He hasan acre of potatoes that he his nursed all season as an experiment. He announces a net profit of $200 on the acre of land. The land is high prairie, but was heavily manured. The fiest crop sold for sixty-five cents a bushel and brought $106, The second crop made more than 200 bushels and is worth sixty cents a bushel, or $120, Mr. Russell says the total cost of raising the potatoes has been lese than $26. Onthe same farm there is a ten acre field of potatoes that rented this year for $40 an acre. The renter has hired every bit of labor on the crop and has netted a profit of $700 on the ten acres Po- tatoes are rapidly supplanting cattle and cotton as the money making | crop of Indian Territory, Rough Riders and Troop A To be Inauguration Escort Washington, Nov, 19 —Represent- | ative James 8.

The president expressed his appre- } ciation and assured Mr. Sherman that if'a political clab was called upon todo that service, the Utica jelub would be given the honor. He | said, however, that he felt that his owuregiment of rough riders and | troop A, which eseorted him when |he was innugurated vice president, should have an opportunity to do so again at his inauguration to the presidency.
