A Party of Railroal Men Discuss tke (rcat Manager. And Ten \‘nr;u;v;:iAr;r(vdown Con- mected With His Early Lite., A number of railroad officials and their assistants were gathered in one of the headquarters yosterday and the conversation turned upon the fu- buildings ture prospects of Mr. Touzalin, now of the Atchison, Topoka & Santa Fe rail- rond. Tho first romark made was that ho had taken or was about to take a house at Topeka to live there “That's just his policy,” said oneof the party, “‘immediate supervision of the rond he is looking after. He wants to know all about it, and be on hand where Le can see overything that 1 done. I believe it is the secret of his suc Ho knows that he the road as well in Boston as he can in Topeka where the company's general of- fices are situated,” Another one added, ‘‘He does the same way if ho is going to invest in the stock of any road. He makes a personal ex- amination ot the line and then he goes to the offices, to the auditor’s office say, and looks up the exact financial condition of the road, and learns how much it is earn- ing before he puts any money in.” “What 1 like the best about Mr. Touzalin,” said one of the younger men, “is the way he takes caro of ‘his boys.’ Just see how well he has provided for them. There's W. B. Hamlin, who has just been made general agent of the Santa Fe road at Denver, a very import- ant position; succeeding a good man, Gen, Theodore I, Brown. Hamlin, you know, was first agent for the B. & M. at Lincoln—I don't know but what he be- gan at_Hastings—and then ho was made weneral agent of the Burlington here to succeed Phillippi, and finally he went to Las Vegas to run the Montezuma hotel for the A. T. & 8. F. Of course Touza- lin managed it all.” *“Then there’'s Bert Watson and Geo, Harris, and T. A, Dawson,” suggested the newspaper man “Yes, and Jim Barr,” said one of the knowing ones, with a shake of his head. “What 7" “Why, yos; Barr has just gone down to Kansas City into the stock yards as a blind. He'll be railroading again inside of a year in some fat place, now I know, and don't you forget it.” The company expressed surprise at this and some didn’t think there was any truth _in such a rumor, unless it came from Mr. Barr himself. ““I won't say who I got it from,” said the young clerk, *‘Where's Dawson gone, by the way!” ““Went from Platts- mouth to Topeka to be general store- keeper of the A., T. & 8. F. Phillippi is now general agent at Chicago. I be- liove that completes the list of B. & M. men. Touzalin first came here as land commissioner for the Burlington, too; did you ever hear the story of his leavin the same position on the A., T. & S. F. 1 “No.” cannot manay “‘Well, there was considerable dissati faction expressed by the old fogies back in Boston, who thought he wasn’t selling enough land for the road. They wanted it to go like hot cakes, and it was grass- hopper year and people weren't very anxious to buy. ‘What did Touzalin do? Why, he got mad and sent out some men to gather upgrasshop- pers far and wide nnfi he received thou- sands of the little pests. Aund then he made up a great bagfull of dead grass- hoppers and sent it to the directors in Boston with a note saying that was the kind of land they had out in Kansas.” Just like him, they all agreed and the meeting then adjourned, laughing. —— An Answer Wanted.

THF “ISLE OF DI Its Sous to be More Justly Dealt by on the Stage, The following is published by request of the writer, and will be found to con- tain some sensible ideas. In no country in the world, since the dawn of civilization to the present event- ful period of the nineteenth century, has history repeated itself with more sorrow- ful reality than in the *‘Isle of Destiny,” whose green hills and valleys hnve been saturated with tho blood of tho bravest and the best— where even the lives of in- nocent children, fond mothers and white- haired grandsires have been sacrificed to swell the tide of blood until it has become a crimson ocean, dividing forever Ireland as a nation from the accursed misrule of En%lund he church has nobly espoused the cause of the Irish people, why not the stage! The latter i1s the most powerful factor in the civilized world to sway the hearts of the people. It reaches where the church “does not—the feel- ings of the masses, Tho stage in the grand banquet hall ef the mind, where Jow and Christian, Mormon and Gentile, gather together to be amused and to eriticise untrammeled by the boundaries of their respective creeds. When, therefore, a true and simple story of Irish life is properly represented on the stage, without draging the priest in his sacred calling, into a low and " vul- gor scene of debauch in company with some villainous monstrosity that is i tended as a type of an lri-Knmn in Ire- land, the people of that unhappy country Taay bo ecioouimgod with the hons that ok last they have a chance of being dealt justly by on the stage, as well as in the pulpit oron the rostrum. The people of Ireland are too much in earnest in this struggle ef lifo and death for self-government to any longer tolerate with impunity The Harpors' Weokly Inshman on the stage, who with dthud- eon in hat, accompanied with u whisky bottle and muvderous looking club with a make-up of features more brutal than the gorrilla in the jungles of Africa, traduces and belies our race, bringing the blush of shame and humiliation to the face of the true manhood of Ire'and!

Organization of a Branch Sovicty in maha, The Course Pursued by the Branches of the University, The Chautauqua Literary and Scien- tific Circlo of this city, which was inaug- urated a short time rince by J. H. Vin- cent, D, D., met last Tuesday ovening in the lecture room of the First M. E. chureh, for the purpose of commencinig the four years course of study prescribed by the faculty of the Chautauqua Uni- versity, Notwithstanding the inclem- ency of the weather a goodly number of enthusiastic students were present, and took part in the class recitation in Gireek history. The Omaha Circle now numbers twen- ty-nine students, and it is expected that it will be greatly increased by those who desire to avail themselves of this excel- lent_opportunity for systematic home reading and study, at a very small cost, The next meeting will be held in the lec- ture room of the First M. E. church on Tueaday evening, October 30th, at 7:30 o'clock sharp, All persons wishing to join_ the citcle are invited to be present. The Chautaqua University has been in successful eperation for over five years and now has nearly 50,000 students en- rolled from every part of the United States and Canada. It already numbers over 3,000 graduates who have success- fully completed the four years' course, and received their diplomas. Mr. Bunday then gave a short address on ‘“‘Early American Literature,” which was very comprehersive and intoresting. This was followed by a bricf biographical sketch of Washington Irving and other American writeis,given by different mem- bers of thecircle. Miss Quackenbush then read a very entertaining selection from Washington Irving's “Old Dutch Life in New York.” After the transaction of Miscellaneous business the exercises of the evening were closed by roll call with quotations. It is not a sectarian institution, but numbers among its students members of all the religious denominations, as well a8 those of ne particular church connec- tion. The course of study for each month in the year is mapped out by the faculty and sent to each local circle. The books used are especially prepared for this course by eminent professors in each department of study. Only forty min- utes reading and study each week day are required to complete the four years curriculum, although more time may be profitably given to the work. A Life SavingPresent. Mr, M. E.

S'I‘A‘u’lll A farmer in Bucks county has a three- yoar-old colt that is over five years of age, While blasting at Hot Springs, Ar recently, a new spring of hot water discovered, which was as cold as icé. as ing a full costume, passed a Jlarge plate glass show window a day or two agowith- out looking into it. A tramp applied for some breakfast, and was kindly supplied with an abund- ant meal. He ate it, and then eut of pure gratitudo went out into the wood- shed, where he sawed four sticks of wood and broke a three-dollar saw, A little country boy and a city agent went fishing one dap.

Busy Scenes in Mr, Fred Drexel’s Stone Yard, Huge Blocks of Stone—Fine Carving | and Skilful Workmen, Probably no material known nature has been, and still is, put to such a varioty of uses for the benefit of man as stone, which has been employed in every way from being an instrument of death to the Philistine giant to the con- struction of the great pyramids and the temple of King Solomon. It is to-day the support alike of the dwelling, the stately house of worship and the temple of justice, It ntands firm against the sweeping waters of the greatest rivers and bears commerce across them, dashes back the ocean waves and is a bulwark against their anger and in short it is the lion of the mineral kingdom. These facts would suggest themselves to any one who should visit the yard and works of Mr. Fred Drexel, situated at the corner of Eighth and Jones street in this city, where are piles of huge stones in the rough, just as they came from tho quarry, and in_contrast with them the same material which has passed through the hands of skillful work nd been shaped to beautify and adorn ome magnificent public building. The ard itself is commodious and contains a :onvenient work shop in the center. The ra lway tracks run right alongside of it on both the north and south and material is unloaded or loaded by means of a pow- erful elevated derrick which runs upon a wooden tramway and conveys the stone to such part of the yard as it may be wanted. Just across the side tracks is the office connected with the works, con- taining the business office and a draught- ing room where designs are drawn and the work mapped out. Here it was that the BEE reporter yesterday met the pro- prietor, Mr. Fred Drexel, and was shown by him through the yard. Mr. Drexel is well known to everybody in the city and county, havingbeen a mem- ber of the board of county commission- ers for six years, and a citizen of Douglas county for twenty-six years. He started his present business about twenty years ago, having learned the trade at his na- tive place, Wurtemburg, Germany. That he has done his work well and to the en- tire satisfaction of the public is shown by the fact that he has increased his trade to such vast proportions and left the imprint of his own taste and skill and that of his workmen upon nearly every important and elegant building that has gone up in Omaha for the past fifteen years, At present there is but little work of this kind done by any one else either in Omaha or Council Blufls, while he has contracts also at Fremont, Columbus, Tekamah, Blair, Schuyler, Plattsmouth and Wahoo, in this state, and Missouri Valley, Villisca, Harlan, and many other cities in Westorn Towa. Among his work recently completed or in progress in Omaha may be mentioned the new Lutheran church, Holy Family church, St. Philomena school, the two new public_schools, the splendid blocks built by Dennis Cunningham, W. F. Lorenzen, Stubbendorf & Co., and hun- dreds of others, while the Council Bluffs Masonic temple is in his list over the river, 3 The bulk of the stone used at these works is Rockville sandstone, which comes from Bates county, Mo., Mr. Drexel being a part owner of these quar- ries. Here is also extonsively used stone from Carroll county, Mo., from various parts of Kansas, Ohio, Illinois, Colorado and Nebraska, the latter coming mostly from South Bend. Atthe Rocky ries the company have put in immense and valuable machinery, including der- ricks, sawing and hoisting machines, etc., all run by steam. A perfect mountain of stone from there is kept in the Omaha yard, one huge piece being shown the re- porter which = measured ten feet in length, four in width and five in depth and weighed 18,000, pounds or as much as the famous Jumbo, One of these big pieces makes a whole car-load in itself, and they arc split up after their arrival here to any desired size. In other cases the stone is sawed before shipment in yarious sizes for use as window sills and s0 on. The reporter was shown a_quan- tity of flagging from Fort Scott, Kansas, and Fort Collins, which is pronounced the finest ever brought to the city. The Colorado stone comes in slabs of fromone to sixteen inches in thickness, and of any width and length desired. Itcomes from the quarry as smooth as if it had been polished, and as true by nature as it could be cut by the best workman It is one of the mast interesting foatures of the yard, and is praciipally used for side- walks, vault floors, ete. Mr. Drexel employs a forco of twenty men all the time, including fifteen cut- ters and five laborers. His foreman is r. Albert Foll, an excellent man for the position, with a’ thorough knowleage of the business and possessing the entire confidence af *his employer. Mr. Chas, Zollicoffer is the carver, whose work is among the finest to be seen anywhere. He worked for twelve years on the Capi- tol and public buildings at Washington, and designed and furnished the model for the famous Grant memorial statue in Canada. Ho is busy at present with the work for the Council Bluffs Masonic Temple, and for the Stubben- dorf block, and he has done some beauti- ful carving for both, the keystone which goes above the main entrance of the tem- ple being a splendid specimen of artistic work, M, Drexel is further assisigd by his two sons, Mr. John Drexel having charge of the books, and Mr. Henry Drexel in the shop.
