Pullman Car Charge*.
Galveston Tribune.
The decline in the market value
of shares in the Pullman Palace
Car company which has been
quite marked of late is attributed
to the agitation of the question of
lower rates for sleeping car accom-
modations which reductions may
be secured through the medium of
national legislation.
This is the statement of Pullman
palace car people who are stren-
uonsly opposed to any reduction
in the rates which they have so
long been permitted to exact of
their patrons. They insist that
there is no merit in the contention
that a difference should be made
in the price demanded for upper
and lower berths though it is ad-
mitted that upper berths are not
in demand until all the lower
ones have been engaged. They as-
sume that their patrons should
be required to pay as much for
second-class as for the first-class
accommodations for a dernier re-
sort as for a first choice. This is
contrary to reason and fairness.
It is the exaction of a monopoly
which has heretofore had things
bo much its own way that it could
snap its fingers at the protests of
the traveling public. If this cor-
poration is made to understand
that its rates can be regulated as
are those of other departments of
railroad transportation it will be
greatly to the advantage of the
traveling public.

CAPT. ISAAC BASSETT.
lie Has Been a Senate Employe for Just
Slrty-Flve Year!
Capt. Isaac Bassett whose illness
has caused much anxiety among his
thousands of friends throughout the
country enjoys the distinction of be-
ing one of the most noted figures at
the national capital. He has served
continuously in one position or another
jin the United States senate for 65
years and from a delicate boy of 11
has literally “grown gray” in the serv-
ice of his country. He was the second
page appointed in the senate his spon-
sor being Daniel Webster and the date
of his appointment 1830. After he had
outgrown the office of page he was
promoted to that of messenger and
CAPT. ISAAC BASSETT.
from that elevated to the office of as-
sistant doorkeeper which position he
has filled until he has come to be as
much a fixture in the chamber as the
marble clock which according to cap-
itol gossip he was wont to turn back
at the end of each March session when
some special legislation was desired to
be completed. His duties embrace the
general housekeeping of the senate
the seating of the members and the
actual police work of the
arms when that official is called upon
to act in that capacity. It was in that
capacity that in his younger days he
had to face the only revolver save one
that has ever been drawn in the senate.
It was in the hands of a senator from
one of the small states who being very
much intoxicated was raising a row
and the sergeant-at-arms was finally
ordered to take him into custody.
When “Bully” Brooks made his men>
orable assault on Charles Sumner it
was Mr. Bassett who assisted the Mas-
sachusetts statesman to the cloakroom
assisted to pathe his wounds and pre-
pare him for removal to his home.
Persons who have visited the senate
chamber any time within the last quar-
ter of a century have noticed a pleas-
ant-faced okl gentleman with white
hair and beard the former curled care-
fully in a roll who sat at the left of
the presiding officer. When a message
was received from the president of the
United States or from the house of rep-
resentatives it was he who announced
the fact to the senate. Although he has
performed this duty for years be in-
variably made as much fuss over it
as though it was his first attempt. His
face would turn scarlet and as he
bowed his head to the presiding officer
there was a quiver in his voice as he
uttered the stereotyped formula. This
was accompanied by a hesitancy of
speech as if uncertain whether or not
his remarks would fall on appreciative
ears. Capt. Bassett has been the in-
cipient of numerous marks of esteem
from the senators. On the anniversary
of his 50th year of service he was pre-
sented with a beautiful silver snuff
box the presentation being made by
the presiding officer. In 1876 on his
birthday an oil painting of himself
was presented to him accompanied by
a letter signed bj’ Senator Anthony “on
behalf of the members of the senate
irrespective of party” and on the oc-
casion of his golden wedding he was
presented with a handsome silver sal-
ver.
RECTOR AHLWARDT
The Anti-Jewish Leader Who la Now Vis-

Dr. Ahiwart the celebrated anti-Se-
mitic agitator of Berlin has arrived in
this country. He expects to deliver

waukee and St. Louis. It is charged

to inaugurate a campaign against the
Hebrews his theory being that the
amassing of wealth by this race is get-
ting to be a menace to the general
prosperity of the world. He promises
in exposition of. the methods of the
Jews whatever that may mean. The
doctor was born December 21 1846 and
has been a member of the rcichstag
for four years. lie has been convicted
for libeling Prussian officials and
served sentences in the Ploetzensee
prison for the offense. The libel was
uttered in a speech in which he said
German official life was corrupted by
Jewish influence.
A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
Criticised the Cooking and Nearly Loat
His Life.
“I was in a little village in the south-
ern part of Humboldt county Cal. a
short time ago” related a traveling
man “and was sitting on a dry goods
box in front of the only store in the
place trying to sell the proprietor a bill
of goods when we observed a bare-
beaded man tearing down the trail a
quarter of a mile up the mountain.
“ ‘Wonder what’s arter ’im’ mused
the storekeeper as he stopped the prog-
ress of his jackknife in the middle of a
shingle.
“Bang! went a rifle and a little cloud
of dust flew up behind the man who was
running. He jumped about ten feet
sideways let out a yell and then came
floundering down the trail. Bang!
went another shot and a bunch of
leaves dro’pped from a 'bush over bis
head. Then we saw a grizzled old
mountaineer a couple of hundred yards
up the mountain in hot pursuit. Every
time he caught sight of the fleeing man
he stopped and took a shot at him. A
couple of minutes later a San Francisco
attorney staggered into the store and
begged for protection.
“ ‘What’s the matter?’ asked the
storekeeper.
“‘He's trying—to murder —me!’
gasped the attorney as he crawled un-
der a counter.
“The storekeeper locked the doors
just as the pursuer came up.
“ ‘What’s the trouble Ike?’ he in-
quired through a chink of the door.
“ ‘Where’s that thar varmint? Let
me at ’im. Let me burn a trail through
his vitals’ yelled the old hunter.
“ ‘What's he been a-doin’?’
“ ‘Why he came along by our camp
this mornin' an' bein' hos-pit-able we
give 'im an invite to jine us at break-
fas’ an’ what did the blamed ungrateful
snake do but up an’ declare that a frog-
eatin’ Frenchman as runs restaurants
in ’Frisco made better bread than I
could cook in a fryin’ pan. Let me nt
'im an’ I’ll put a biscuit in his stomach
what’ll cook him.’
“Old Ike was pacified with a bottle of
whisky and he started reluctantly up
the trail stopping occasionally to look
back to see if he couldn't get another
shot at the varmint.”—Buffalo Express.
WHY MEN STAND.
Complex Mechanlxm Renders It Possible
But the Attitude Is Not Normal.
We are so accustomed to standing up-
right as a natural attitude that few of
us think what a special complex mech-
anism is required for this purpose.
A moment’s consideration will show
that the ordinary explanation of the
erect position (the center of gravity to
be directly above the feet) is insuffi-
cient. When a man is suddenly shot
whether from the front or behind he
drops on his face for the truth is that
there is much more weight in the front
of the spinal column than behind it.
The fact is that when we are standing
a large number of powerful muscles
(both front and back) are simultane-
ously at work the effects of their ac-
tion being to neutralize each other.
Thus the legs would fall forward were
it not that they are kept vertical on the
feet by the strong tendon (the
“Achilles”) at the back of the heel. At
the same time the muscles of the thigh
are tightened so as to prevent us taking
a sitting position and the muscles of
the back are pulled tense so that the
trunk does not stoop forward. The
head is prevented from dropping on the
chest by the ligaments in the nape of
the neck. That the upright is not its
normal position is easily shown by the
fact that a man nods as he falls asleep;
for as soon as the controlling nervous
force is deadened the head drops for-
ward by its own weight only to be
pulled back in position again with a
jerk when the brain becomes suddenly
aware of an unusual attitude. —Scottish
American.
