lution, which was adopted, and
which is in direct sympathy with
the circular issued September 21,
18S"J, by Chairman Harris. The
r oluiion was seconded, much to
everybody's surprise, by Henry
Viliard. The resolution is as lbi
fows: Resolved, That the holders of

suggest to tbe incoming board of

TEX ANS ANS FIXG HATS.
Itoagan Almost Mobbed by His Con
stituents for Wear'ng Ono.
Washington Let er toXw York Sin.
It is slanderous to say that no
Texan ever wore a plug hat. But
it is tiue that the martial visage of
Roger Quarles Milles is often
libeled in the comic papers by the
topping eft" of a silk tile. No pub
lic man in Tesas ever woie a plug
bat. Senator John Reagan tried it
it once in his own town, Palestine,
but ir didn't The postmaster
general of President Jefferson
Davis' government ws one of the
first ex-contederates to be sent to
congress. At the close of on? of
the sessions Le went Item New
York to Galveston by water for a
change. Ia tbe last named city
the iniuenco of some dude demon
induced him to buy a stovepipe
hat. He wore it a httlo in the
Micets of Calvesten to et used to
handliBg it. He wcrt the silk
traveling cap on the railroad up to
Pale.linc aud there donned the
jaunty stovepipe agaio. Walking
up Iron tbe station with Mn.
Hcagan be attracted more attention
than he had ever attracted in his
life before. ' The crowds which Had
gathered to welcome him with
cbeeres stood awestruck and donib.
The astonishment of the plain peo
ple increased uutii they were Teadj
to almost throw dirt. The con
gressman saw the point, and was at
bis wit's end to know how to stem
the indignation. Whin he stood
up to address the multitude in the
open square be entirely retrieved
his fortune. First he set the ping
down on the table.
"My friends and neighbors," he
cried, -'what are we coming to in
this free and enlighted country?
Here he pointed with utter con
tempt at tbe plug bat. As I came
through Galveston I bought that
hat there to show you what the
aristocracy ot wealth in trying to

How a Traveler Got Eifn With a
Train Boy.
Chicago Herald.
"1 suppose I did a pretty mean ac
tion the other night," said a suburban
gentleman who lives out on the Bur
lington road. "I have been buying
considerable fruic on tbe trains this
summer, and occasionally have re
gretted iny purchases. The deceptive
peach basket has especially victimized
me. I dou t believe I have had my'
money' worth once this season. Last
Tuesday I went out on the 7:30 trai l,
and the small boy who works it at
once tackled mc w ith his peachea. He
assured me that he had some of the
slickest, ripest fruit at 40 cents a
basket be had ever handled, and if I
knew iny luck I would certainly take
borne home. But I told him I guessed
I wouldn't boy any; I oidn't believe
tho peaches were ripe anvway. But
he pressed me so hard that I finally
agreed to take a haskot if be would
eat all the unripe peaches there were
in it. 'To this proposition he de
murred, but after working the train
rather unsuccessfully he returned and
said he would take my offer. I
opened 'a basket which looked par
ticularly promising, but as I delved
down tbe lead did not pan out so
well, and in a few' minutes I had
found five of the hardest rock peaches
ever marketed.' The boy tackled
tbe first one with gusto and is disap
peared in a twinkling; the second and
third lollowea in pretty lair time,
but he bit into the fourth with evi
dent reluctance, and it teok him lon
ger to eat it than than the preceding
three had done. He begged off on
the fifth, but 1 was merciless, aud.
although his teeth were worn at the
edges and he rolled his stomach un
easily, I closed my eyes to shut .ut
hia appealing l"oks, and refused to
abate the bruised skin even. He
earned his 40 cents, but as the brake,
man teaderly helped him off the train
at Riverside my conscience began to
accuse me. Next morning the lad
did not show up, and for several days
tha memory of those peaches clung to
him ' like a horrible nightmare. I
Understand he has now left the trains
entirely and gone to peddling Bibiea
amoDg the farmers.
