An Erie railway detective gave informa- tion to the police last night of a remark- able character who is evidently beating his way toward this city. A conductor of a freight train told this detective that his train was standing on a side track forty miles from Cleveland, when the head brakeman, who was walking upon the roof of a car, discovered a man on the bumpers. He was fairly well dressed and carried a satchel. “Where are you going?” was the ques- tion. “Cleveland,” replied the stranger. “Not on this train,” retorted the brake- nfan. ‘Rattlers’ don’t carry passengers.” Then the stranger, seeing that he was about to be “‘ditched”—as the language of the hobd expresses it—opened the satchel, while the brakeman gazed in silent aston- ishment. According to the latter, there were watches, diamonds and jewelry of the richest type lying in the half-filled va- lise. . “Rattlers don’t carry passengers, don’t they?” remarked the tramp, at the same time handing the brakeman a beautiful timepiece. “Just punch my ticket, will you?” re- quested the man with the satchel, “and if you happen to have a chew of tobacco about your clothes hand it down and ac- cept my compliments.” Then the stranger passed up a brilliant diamond stud in return for the tobacco, which the brakeman mutely “handed down." Going to his conductor, the brake- man told the story, and the two trainmen arrived at the conclusion that a jeweiry store had been robbed somewhere along the line. In the meantime the train pulled out, but slowed down at Mantua station, where the man who could afford to exchange a diamond stud for a chew of tobacco jumped from the bumpers and disappeared into an adjacent wood. The trainmen could not desert the train to give pursuit, but the authorities will be on the lookout for the stranger and his satchel. A Perverse Generation. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The father of a family nudged bachelor who stood beside him on platform. The old bachelor knew what it meant. The father of a family was about to revert to the dreary old subject—his children. “I wonder,” he said, “why the boys of the present generation are so much more | perverse than the boys were when I was young? If I remember rightly, I usually did what my parents wanted me to do. What are you smiling about? What makes you think I didn't? You didn’t say so Of course, you didn’t say so, but your smile did. Well, boys are very different now, aren't they? Yes; they are. Of course they are. What do you know about the old the car it? That's all right. You needn't shake your head. There's nothing in it. Well, ¥ youngest boy wouldn't respond to the breakfast bell a few mornings ago. I went upstairs and told him to get up immediate- ly. He's ten years old, and he defied me. He said he wouldn't get up; it was Satur- day morning, and no school, and he was going to stay in bed as long as he wanted to. How was that for the spirit of '76? But I settled him. ‘All right,’ says I, ‘you stay right here in bed until your mother tells you that you can get up, but don’t get up until she does.’ Say, you should have seen him jump! He was into his clothes in no time, and at the breakfast table as soon as I was. I don’t know what to make of that boy. He isn’t a bit like me at his age—not a bit.” —— 0 A Secret of the Profession. From London Answers. “The secret of slack-wire walking,” re- marked Caicedo, the champion wire walk- er, now appearing at the Alhambra, while in conversation with an “Answers” con- tributor one day recently, “lies in the pad- ding. The wire used is only a quarter of an inch in thickness, and, if it were not that I take good care to have my breeches well padded, it would cut me in two when I come down upon it in the manner you saw me do just now.” “These breeches,” continued the “kirig of the wire,” producing an article that looked like a cross between the pantaloons of a Spanish toreador and the peculiar bell- bottomed and pipe-seamed variety of “trousis’” affected by the Whitechapel coster, “are made from the skin of the South African grysbok, one of the tough- est and at the same time one of the most pliable dress materials known. It is prac- tically indestructible. You cannot tear it, and to wear it out is next door to an im- possibility.” THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, APRIL 8, iso7-18 PAGES. BISHOP BOWMAN He Will Bé Remembered as a I ir Great Builder of Churches. ]-l DISTINGUISHED SERVICES ‘The meeting of the trustees of the Amer- ican University, which is to be held in this city on Wednesday of next week, ts ex- pected to be of unusual interest, as it will probably mark one of the scenes in the closing of the long and useful official life of the venerable Bishop Thomas Bowman, the oldest member of the episcopacy of the Methodist Episcopal Church now living, and a member of the board. Bishop Bowman has had much to do with the American University thus far and he has unbounded hopes of its success. He will continue to watch its progress with keen interest, although he will-soon go to Evanston, Ill, to spend the remainder of his days in retirement. While the univer- sity is Methodist in its general scope, Bish- op Bowman hopes that all denominations will be represented in it; that each one will endow a chair and carry on its own scheme of education, and so contribute to make it truly the American University under Prot- estant patronage: Bishop Bowman spent last Surday in Bal- timore, where he preached to a large con- gregation, and next Sunday he will officiate in the same capacity in Providence, R. L., leaving there in time to reach Washington and be present at the meeting of the trus- tees of the American University Wednes- day, as above stated. From Washington he will go to Evanston, Ill., where for the future he is to make his home with his daughter, Mrs. B. D. Caldwell. Bishov Bowman has three sons, one in St. Louis, one in Denver and another in Chattanooga, and two daughters, both married. An a Church Builder. Among church’ people Bishop Bowman will go down in history as the greatest builder of churches of his time. When he went to St. Louis, twenty-five years ago, there were but three English-speaking Methodist churches, one African church and three German churches, and now there are in that place fifteen English, six German, one Swedish and six African churches. All the increase has been largely due to his efforts. It is said that he has built more than one hundred churches in Missouri alone. But that is a small part of his achievement in this line. His eloquence has brought out contributions to build at least 1,000 churches, and he has dedicated over 1,200. No state or territory is without a church that was dedicated by him, and in some of the states there are many such. There are not many counties in the United States that he has not visited and held services in. His missionary travels have taken him into the thickly settled and high- ly cultured sections of the east, into the genial south and/also across the great west- ern plains, and theselutter when they con- stituted. the great American desert, and the stage was the means of conveyance. He visited the first Missouri settlements in Oregon, and traversed Washington and Idaho when theyswens nothing but a wilder- ness and the first hardy settlers could give little thought te religion. He went again and found thriving populations and planted churches among them. - Bishop Bowmem.is not quite elghty years old, an age at whieh it is ordinarily no surprise to be declared non-effective. But he is in as perfect hgalth as ever he was, and absolutely; withqut impairment of his mental powers. Hg,Avas put into the non- effective class .at,the. late general confer- ence for the reason that it was: eonyenient to da, me necessary) to retire Bishop gtan on account of old age, and, as he is two years younger than Bishop Bowman, that could not be done and leave the senior bishop among the ef- fectives. So he was relieved of many of his duties of the episcopate. His Early Life. ‘Thomas Bowman was born near Berwick, |” Pa., in 1817. His parentage, in respect of character, was of the best, and as to prop- erty and position it was equal to any in that new region of country. Both his father and mother were devoutly religious, | and Methodism was the embodiment of the religious principle that mo=t powerfully appealed to them. They w prominent among congenial people settled about them, a circle of pioneers, who helped to plant Methodism in the Susquehanna. valley. There were good schools in the neigh- borhood of his home, and when he acquired all the learning they were cap- able of affording, and while he was still in his teens, his parents were able t him away to better schools. He year at Wilbraham Academy, setts, and three years at Cazenovia Se inary, New York. In the actumn of 1 he entered the junior class of Dickinson College, at Carlisle, Pa., which at that time had just come anier the contro! of the Methodists. He graduated a: the head of his class, carrying off the envied honors. The law had for him supecior attractions, and he spent a year in the law school of the same college. Theology Proves Potent. At the end of that time he abandoned his law books and took up with theology, and at the conclusion of his preparatory studies, in 1839, he joined the Baltimore conference. In the jurisdiction of that con- ference he gained hfs first pastoral ex- perience, and- he soon becam? known as an earnest and eloquent preacher. But now his friends discovered in him aptitudes of a high order for acaderical teaching, and the faculty of his old college tnade use of him next as head of the grammar school of the college. In that position he re- mained until 1848, when he was called to organize and preside over the Dickinson Seminary at Williamsport, Pa. He gave ten years to the work of build- ing up this seminary, and succeeded, and in all those years he did about as much preaching as he woyld had he been the minister on the circuit. He often occupied some of the leading pulpits of the country, and was sent for from near and far to preach at camp meetings. Thus, when not more than thirty-five years old, he was known throughout his church as a ripe scholar and powerful orater. . President of Universities. In 1859 Rev. Mr. Bowman was called to Greencastle, Ind.,* and made president. of the Asbury University of that ‘place. He continued at oe. head of the Greencastle ja University forJja ‘amber of years, ahd when finally i retired from it he did not cease to work] for interests. In later years he indu Cc.

In this munificence he was in the main guided by Bishop Bowman. r. Bowman was a delegate from the north Indiana entaence to the general cenference of. the aMethodist Church in 1872, held in Bri N. Y., and by that conference he Ne lected to the episco- pacy. Ever sin¢é his‘election to the episco- cy he has been the most prominent figure in his church, Hae foremost citizen of the Tepublic.

Besides the holding of conferences in every section of this country, he has. been a de! to conferences in Europe, and especially noteworthy is it that he was @ fraternal delegate to the British Wes- leyan conferencé in 1878. He has many friends in England, and is in correspond- erce with the dignitaries of his church in that country and in many other lands. In 1878 Bishop Bowman was sent out to hold conferences in the missionary fields of Eu- rope and.India. He was nt two years from: heme, and traveled vely _in— speaking as a missionary—that most inter- esting: country—India.. - In 1881-82 he miadé an extensive tour of missions in China and Japan. The Metho- dist missions hay fot greatly prospered in those countries, though they were doing better than in ‘preceding years. For ten = serd } years, from 1847 to 1857, they had not an diMcult to obtain for himself and party, and he was gratified at Li Hung Chang’s ccrdial manner, and confessed interest in the work the missionaries were doing. On his return from China, by way of Burope, he traveled in Sweden, Norway and Switzerland, looking after Sunday schools—he had established the first Sun- day school in Germany in 1847—and on these travels he fell in with Gen. Grant i Since his return from the orient, Bishop Bowman has spent all his time in the Unit- ed States. ss THE WASHINGTON BRANCH. Interesting Facts About a Part of the B. and 0. From the Baltimore Sun, The Washington branch of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, in which the state of Maryland is so largely interestcd, is a very Peculiar crganization. Its construction was authorized by the act of 1832, waich was supplemental of the original act of 1830. The road was built by subscriptions to the stock of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. The stock subscribed for building this branch, however, it was Provided in the bill, shall be separate and distinct stock forever. The same act 2u- thorized the Baltimore and Ohio Company to subscribe to this stock. The road ex- tends from the Relay House to Washing- ton, a distance of thirty-one miles. The great granite viaduct across the Patapsco at the Relay was designed by the late B. H. Latrobe. It was, when built, the largest structure of the kind in the United States. It consists of eight elliptical arches of 58 feet span each. ‘he roadway is 66 feet above the water. Mr. Latrobe, in his esti- mate of the cost of this bridge and of the whole line, was extremely accurate, and he came within the actual cost. The act au- thorizing the construction of the road re- served to the state “one-fifth of the grdss passage money of travelers,” and provided that that tribute to the state should not in any instance be less than 25 cents. The history of the Htigation arising from this capitation tax and the final settlement with the company Is one of the most interesting chapters in our history. The road has paid per cent dividends duri iz vege unt ou ing a long term of e stock in the Washington branch w: regarded as the most valuable of the ase sets held by the state. Its market value has all along been over ‘a million dollars, and it was esteemed so desirable a prop. erty that it was singled out in the coasti:u- tion and made the only esset in the tr=as- ury which the legislature could not. sell, In 18%) the constitution was amended and the legislature was empowered to sell this Stock also, taking in exchange the securi- ties of the state. In 1896 a bill was passed prescribing the terms and conditions under which the treasury officials could naxe the sele. The sale, however, was not made, as such a thing as a default in the payment of the regular semi-annual dividend was never contemplated by any one. When the read was first opened there was an average of 200 passengers a day, which, it is sali Was far beyond the most sanguine expecta. tions of the company. For regular -rayel between Baltimore and Washing:oa the rate of fare received by the company is still three cents a mile. ‘The reduction in the price of tickets made about twenty-five years ago was at the expense of the state in the repeal of the capitation tax. ; ee eens FLOOR OF FROM THE A CHURCH. Source to Which the Design of the Fing Has Been Traced. From the Detroit Jcurnal, The origin of national flags would he a deep, unfathomadly deep, subject ia most but our flag, the stars and Stripes, young in this old world that it is ble to find out a good deal about its + still even as to ours we can only guess how in its first form it came to be t as it was, but the guess is so well founded that it ought to satisfy Yan! 3 seeking the source of the Yankes flag. The first flag of the United States of Ame was raised by Washir. Mass., January 1776. It consisied thirteen stripe: alternate red an Sey with a blue field emblazoned with the cresses of St. George and St. Andrew. The next year Congress substituted thirteen white stare for the crosses. ‘ow, in Northamptonshire, England, in jaze called Great Bringion, “is oa ta church containing the tomb’ of one of George Weshington’s az stors. It is in- scribed to the memory of Lawrence Wash- ington, who died in 1616, lea Ss dehind him (this is on the tomb, mind you) eight sens and nine daughters. Two of these sons emigrated to America, and from one or them descended our great man. Several of the Washington famiiy of the same g eration are buried here, and the Ww: ten coat-of-arms is engraved on on: ing an inscription to “Eliz. Was who died in 1622. Now on i arms appeaf three stars, with the or bars beneath them. No one could without being reminded of the gled banner.” Undoubtedly when Washington was ar- ranging to raise that flag at Cambridze, and arranging the fiag, too, he took the idea of the stripes from his own old coat- ° ‘ms. Not wanting to make the » banner too personal, So to speak, he kept in the blue field and the crosses, used in the British flag, but Cong “SS, when it took ject, was pleased to follow the -arms that belonged to the great general, who was fighting for them, and substituted the beautiful stars for the crosses that the redcoats carried. Charles Sumner took a deep interest in all these traces of the Washington family in Eng- land, and once said: “The source of the design of the American flag lies on the floor of the Brington church.” He had a copy of the coat-of-arms, made by a local mason, in native stone. —see AT THE MASQUERADE BALL. rica ston at Cambridge, see it “star-span- She Thought She Was Concealed, but the Wide-Awake Youth Knew Her. From the Chicago News. This is the story of a young man who went to a masquerade way over on the west side, where his tender susceptibilities were gently awakened, ensnared in the meshes of a hasty love, but rejected, trampled upon and crushed and beaten up into an embittered frappe of anguished memories all in one evening. He was a nice young man and wore a high-standing collar, white choker and an uncomfortable dress suit that appeared to fit all right as a whole, but whose com- ponent parts obstinately persisted in hav- ing a sort of something-zhe-matter-with-it look that raised’ a suspicion of its having been borrowed for the occasion. Among the dancers in the stuffy throng his eye lighted upon one of particular ex- ception. She was a fine dancer and dress- ed in a neat and pretty costume and her eyes gleamed out rapturously from behind the alluring enticement of a mask of glar- ing red. Petite and svelte in figure, she barely rose to his shoulder, and, seeking her out, he asked for a dance. She readily assented and laughed. so charmingly that each ripple brought an an- swering reflected glow upon his face, and after awhile the giddy whirl and the babel of music and noise raised such a tempest of curiosity within him that he endeayored to see who she was. y “Oh, no!” she cried, in consternation, | Bavtead the concealing mask with both “‘Well, now, that’s mean,” he said. But just then there came a scurrying among the dancers, who trooped out upon the floor and stood expectantly looking at the leader, who stood upon the music piat- form, wetch in hand. “You see,” he said, “it's time for un- masking, anyhow.’ “Unmesk,” came the sharp command, with accompanying shrieks of laughter from the merry throng and the young man turned triumphently toward his charmer. But just then a lumbecing youth of about seventeen slid excitedly across floor and burst between them. “Hello, ma!” he said, ibbing her by the arm, “You couldn't fool me—I knew you all right!” And the young man with the high collar, white choker and questionable dress suit &tcod as in a hypnotic dream. He turned faint and sick at heart. She was about forty years old, and look- ed I:ke ee sustentence of @ season’s sour crub apple crop, and young man gave a heartrending groan, faded into the crowd and went home.
