While it is entirely too early to prognosti- cate as to the gayeties of the year, it Is pretty safe to assume that the season of 1804-5 will be a quiet one, There are few debutantes to launch upon the social sea, 0 that last year's fair ones will have a second season without having to take back seats for the girls who will experience what it really means to be “in the swim." Many of the swlls took advantage of the “Last Days of Pompeli” last week and or- ganized little Pompelian partlos, with a petite supper afterwards.

BILLY VICE AS FARCE COMEDY ORIGINATOR General Superintendent J. A. Fillmore of the Southern Pacifie Talks of the Kesults of the Recent Strike—Twenty-Six Disabled % Reported. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21.—(Special Cor- respondence of The Bee)—A group of rail- road pecple were sitting about in the ro tunda of the Occidental hotel the other even- ing spinning yarns and dissecting the man- ner of doing business in the east, when dis- cussion turned upon the methods Pacific coast passenger agents adop} to secure busi- ness. In San Francisco there are many passenger men, almost s many as in Chi- cago, two of whom are enough sight better known than the presidents of the roads they represent, Tom McKay of the Burlington and W. R. Vice of the Union Pacific. Both of these men are representatives of the hustling class of passenger sgents, and the is hardly a person of importance in China, Japan, Australia or the islands of the Pacific who does not know either one cr both of these men. It is their business to visit personally every steamship that enters the bay of San Francisco, and very often they are twenty-four hours without sleep in order to secure a first introduction to the pros- pective eastern tourist. They are accom- panicd on these almost daily visits by in terpreters, who are attached to the offices their chiefs represent, and in themselves are interesting characters. There have been many battles betwen McKay and Vice for eastbound travel, and could the experiences of gach be coliected it weuld make a fine addition to the litera ture of the rail. In appearance the men aro in fine contrast. McKay is a ftall angular man, with a decided perchant for 8ood clethes, and s considered by many ss one of the best dressed men in San Fran ciseo, a city by no means remarkable for the garb of its male members. He Is suave in manner, considerable of a diplomat, and a royal good fellow, who would probably rather have a personal let- ter from Her Highness the Duchess of Merlborough testifying to his many ac- complishments as a passenger man and courfer than receive a raise of $25 per month in his salary. Vice, on the other hand, suggests a well-to-do . Nebraska farmer in dress and in carriage, but when after business he shows a keen knowl of men, posses: a ready adaptabilit circumstances, and is withal a fluent talker, In fact, Billy Vice is somewhat of a writer, end with Gratton Donnelly is engaged in writing a farce comedy upon railroad lines, the first act of which is to be located in the city ticket office of the Union Pacific company on Montgomery street, with a sec- tion of the Palace hetel and the Crocker- Woolworth building showing in the middle distance, one of the busiest spots in all th towh of wooden buildings and bay windows, a city which never thoroughly awakens until after the sun has gone down in fogs that hang heavily over the bay. Vice had been entertaining the little com- pany of congenial spirits with some of his reminiscences, particulariy spending consid- erable time upon the members of royalty he bad obtained for his road, when McKay took a hand in the reminiscent line and told how General Grant patronized the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. “Those of you who were here in 1879," sald McKay in his rather slow manner of speaking, ‘“will doubtless vividly remember the intcresting times in- cident upon the arrival of General U. S. Grant from Yokohama on the steamship City of Tokio of the Pacific Mail line. Gen- eral Grant had just completed his tour around the world. As for the honors he received, they have become matters of Lis- tory, in fact, no ruler on earth received so many attentions as this simple son of sim- ple parents. HOW M'KAY “Some time p CAPTURED GEN. GRANT. revious to his expected ar- rival in San Francisco I had received in- structions from the officers of my com- pany to offer Generzl Grant every inducement to patronize the ‘Burlington route,’ and to leave no stone unturned to secure the busi- ness. 1 was authoried to offer to him every concelvable courtesy in the way of a special train and all appropriate paraphernalia suitable to his rank. The rivalry between myself and other representatives of eastern roads in 'Frisco was most keen, and each one made the most positive boast that he would be the first to meet General Grant and ticket him over his road. Like the rest of them 1 had also eoncluded to be first. How to come out victorious and elude my opponents was the question. It was a case of tact and cf prompt action, and I realized that the man who first obtained an inter- view would be the one who would land the prize. As his route would be telegraphed to the Associated press all over the United States, the value of an advertisement of this kind was at once apparent “'1 obtained permission to beard one of the flectest tugs in the bay. The tug laid at the dock and awaited the signal when the Tokio should heave in sight. To avcid the possibility of trouble or of a knowledge of my ruse I went aboard the tug and stayed there for two days and nights, not daring to show my head for fear of detection by other railroad men. I had taken the pains to have printed an elaborate set of business cards. I likewise had with me the very best of my wardrobe and the usual fault- less silk tile. Thus equipped I waited. At last the afternoon arrived The " first word was received that the Tokio was in sight. Steam was up, and, five minutes after the notice our tug was plowing down the bay at a terrific rate. During our course past the wharves we could see the a stic was occasioned by the way we were rushing through (he water, and 1 noticed that many a little tug (probably containing some of my opponents) had observed us and lost no time in casting off and chasing after us; but we had the lead in the race, and after passing Blick Point I felt that all my dangerous compelitors were left behind. It was mot very long before tho old Tokic was through the Golden Gate, and fifteen minutes later we were the first ones alongside the big ship. Captain Williams, then one of the general agents, was the first man up the plank, and I followed close upon his heels Anxious as 1 was not o loss a single trick, 1 had pres- ence of mind enough to remain behind Cap- tain Williams, though his hand had hardly left that of the general's before I was In front of the latter and presented my card. I introduced myself and solicitzd himself and suite for the Burlinxton. He accepted on the spot. I naturaly felt proud of the achievement, especlally as I noted the looks of disappointment on the faces of my fellow representatives, some of whom joined the ship almost at my heels. But to make as- surance doubly sure, I also had an interview with Mr. John Russell Young, the private secretary, advisiog him of General Grant's decision. The program was carried out In every detail, and the Burlington got from the Grant episode one of the greatest adyer- tisements that any railroad in the country had recelved.” There was a satisfled air about McKay as he finished his story, and he leancd back happy In having distanced all competilors on this oceasion. Vice had listened patiently, for Vice is a very patient man, to the narra- tys which he kad heard many times be- fore. “Now, Tom,” sald the Union Pacific repre- sentative, “tell us about how you got the members of the Hawailan government, Min- ister Thurston and the rest.” But McKay was silent, in point of fact it was his hatcd rival who carried off the prize on this occa- sion, and on many another, for Vice, in his quiet way, has n faculty of interesting people, and in his easy, off-hand manner of talking, never fails to win respect, if he does not get the business. Both en have large clien- AMUSBEMEBENTS. “.OHARL‘EB ST. PARK BASE| omama BALL j Des Moines.

FILLMORE ON THE RECENT STRIKE. Apropos of the rallroads, 1 had occasion the ather day to call upon General Supezintend- ent J. A. Fillmore of the Southera Pacific, on: of the very best operating men In the country. During the strike on the Southern Pacific he played no inconsequential part and established a new reputation for shrewd- ness combined with dogged persistency that won him a lot of hard names, but broke the backbone of the strike. Chatting in a reminiscent manner of the strik: and the grave dificulties his company had to contend with, he told me that his company had thirty-six locomotives disabled by the strikers, twenty-six on the Truckee division alon In most cases the strikers would stenl the steam Ives from th: engines and throw them Into th: Truckee river, where a great many were found, but unfortunately they were not palrs, and covsequently useless In other cases they would use nuis to blow out the cylinder heads, drop bolts wherever they could be poesibly hidden from the engineer or fireman; but the frst revolution would show the presence of a froelgn agent, and before thy engine could be stopped the damage intended would be done. In one case the strikers went so far as to remove a turn table in front of a house, completely tieing up the business of the yard in that way. On the Oakland mole the strikers were particularly aggressive, and it was only through the presence of the blue coats that trains were gotten through at all Asked 1f the Southern Pacific store any of the men who went out on strike Mr. Fillmore said that wherever a man could show that he was intimidated afiaid of his life or felt himself in bodily danger he stood a fair chance of getting back, but there was nothing to do on the Scuthern Pacific for a striker, “nor for that matter on any road, for the men who went out on our rond will b: known to every other railroad that cares to inquire. “The fircien,” said he, “are particalarly bitte not to any great degree against the com- pany, but against the American Railway union for ordering them on a strike when their leaders opposed it. Instead of render ing unto Caesar the things which were Caesar's, they proceeded to choose a new mister in the person of Debs and now they are reaping the reward.” Mr. Fillmore had his share of the excite- ment, and during the riots In Sacramento when it was unsafe for a railroad man to appear on the streets, he drove with his coachman through the midst of big mobs, talked with the men, counseled with them and tried to show them their error. On one occasion his colored coachman bucked against driving through a crowd of hoodlums and strike sympathizers and refused to budge an Mr. Fillmore quietly reached for his “gun,” and then, after a moment's play v ith the deadly toy, told his coachman that it he didn't drive on he would put a bullet through the crowd of jeering, hissing men ing an ashy gray. drove his employer through the crowd of jeering, hissing men to a point of safety. E. C. SNYDER = - COACHING THE BEST MAN., Outline of the Important Dutles He Calted Upon to Perfor “A chum of mine (young man) is about to be married. 1 have known nim and the girl he is going to marry a long time. He asked me 1o be hix best man. This is the first time that I am to stand up for anybody and I would like to get some points on what to do. Will you also kindly give me some idea what to present the couple with? Kindl let me know just what a best man is sup- posed to do. They are golng to hington and have asked me to go nlong supposed to do and v bat expenses should I bear? IGNORAMUS. In answering the aiove the Brooklyn Eagle says The best man but he is usually would re- the is is not always unmarried, clected rom a groom's bachelor friends, # id is supposed to -be as much his intimals as ordinary men ever choose to have. To him is confided the route of a wedding journey, and he secures draw- ing room seats, telegraphs for rooms at hotels —if a hotel is in the plan of a wedding jour- ney; sees that the buggagé 1s properly chiocked, provided the groom has no valel; accompanies him to the church, stands next to him during the ceremony, presents the clergyman with his fee, and afterward, if requested by the bride’s family, sends to the press an advertisement of the marriage, par- ticulars for which are furnished by them, also by the groom, whenever his line of descent or special titles arc added to the same. OF course, the cost of all this is borne by the groom, except, perhaps, the expense of the press, which the bride's father will choose to defray. A best man is last to leave the church, but at the reception later he 1s at liberty to join the guests or take a place by the maid of honor. He goes to the railway agent or steamer to see the bridal party off, provided the distance to the place of departure is not too great, and then re- turns to the parents of the bride to bring back their greetings. The best man relieves the groom of many essential details and every care possible at a time when a bride- groom has a right—if such right is due any man at any time—to perfect freedom and from every anxiety and every duty. It is his hour of happiness, and to be truly content tranquility of mind is 4 necessity, Of course a comrade is undeserving the name of {riend if he is not glad to make, if possible, this bridal day a perfect memory. The secret— if it has been kept a secret—of the destin: tion of the married travelers is his, and ho protects it. Indeed, nobody Is likely to ask it of him.

A canvas city of 1,700 tents has SPrUNg up in tso days about the Washing- ton monument on the broad, white lot stretching between t(he executive mansion and the Potomae, where the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic were encamped during their great years ago.
