A gentleman not unknown In literary circles was present at one of the Pope's receptions. The holy father approached him and said: "You are an American. Are you a Catholic or Protestant?" "Holy father." replied our friend, "I am neither a Catholic nor a Protestant; I am a Journalist." His holiness laughed heartily, and moved on to some one else. INDUSTRIAL NOTES. The Pullman Car Company earns on each car about $180 a month net, and naa 474 cars. A fire-and-water-proof paper is made of two-thirds paper pulp and one-third asbestos, steeped in salt and alum solu tion and finally coated with shellac varnish. The Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railway is running new cars, 55 feet long, with six-wheel tracks, and and the best heating, lighting and ven tilating appliances. The Western Wheel Scraper Company of Mount Pleasant, la., has built an ad dition to its works 30x88 feet, making the total dimensions 270x40, about one half of which is two stories high. The Boston and Albany Railroad Company has of late been equipping its cars with the Westinghouse brake more rapidly than usual, and now almost its ntire passenger rolling stock is pro vided with it. The plan of using the Great Eastern for the beef-cattle trade has been aban doned, and it is doubtful to what use the ill-fated ship will be put, if any. She has cost to date $25,000,000, and never returned one-quarter of that sum. The Edgar Thomson Steel Company has "laid off" its Bessemer department to make repairs and take account of stock. The production of rails for the year was about 100,000 tons, perhaps slightly in excess of this amount. The electric lights recently introduc ed into the passenger station and the adjoining freight yard ef the Boston ana Albany Kailroad m Boston are proving to be even more of a conveni ence than was anticipated,, and both the public and employes of the road ap preciate tnem. Glass manufacture is making won derful strides in Ohio. Last year there were five new works erected: this year there will probably be as many more. At present there are at least 19 firms in that fetate engaged in the making of glass, and they use about 292 pots and employ more than 2,032 men. The heaviest and longest loaded train hat passed over the Erie road or its branches was brought over the Jeffer son branch one day last week by Con ductor Stephen Maroney, with G. N. Brown and Jesse Williams as engineers. consisting of 122 eight-wheel cars, load ed with coal, all destined for Buffalo. How They Got Bid. Wall Street News. "Yon-see that man inst crossinetlie street?" remarked a Chicago man to a New:"Yorker whom he was towing around to see the sights. "Well, that man sola popcorn in this city for twen- tytwo years, and he is worth $150,000." Did tiB make it selling popcorn ?" "Oh, no. $xa itnaae his pile buying .Lake front lots." Pretty soon the guide call ed his attention to a man standing in in the door of a bank, and added: "That man-onenfed. the first Bibles house west of New York city. Thirty years ago he was rat poor. To-day he runs that bank."''. "Did be make his money sell ing, iJiOles t t)h, no.. He ?JMraght prairie.land and held on to it." In the course of ten minutes a big building was pointed out as belonging to a man 'who reached Chicago nineteen years ago with only fifty cents In Ms pocket. He opened a night school and now rev eled in his wealth. "Did he make it all teaching night school," asked the New Yorker. "Uh, no. He went into the dray business as soon as he had money enough to buy a horse." After Several more like cases he had rererrea to, the visitor asked, "Have you one single man in Chicago who has made his mon ey in the business he first started into?" Have we r Jjet ssee. letssee. les, we have. I know a man on btate street who went into the whiskey busi ness twenty years ago, has stuck right to it, and is worth $100,000. 11 he had only been sharp enough to turn round after ten years.and open an undertak er's shop and bury his customers he'd now be a millionaire!" Kicked to Death. Bockingham Bee. Last Wednesday evening as Mr. A. E. Shaw and another gentleman, were coming to Rockingham they came across a tickler or whiskey, in the road ; about hity yards irom this was a hat, -and half a mile from these he came up with Capel. Parsons & Sons' wagon. The driver, a colored man named Jonas Ewmg, was hanging head down across the traces, hounnds and swingle-tree, bit foot, or feet, m some manner hitched to the;-wagonv The mules he was driv ing;; it is. supposed, had kicked him on the heaoVuntU he was then dying.

J. MuLUtt, the famous sea lion catcher arrived in the city vesterday from Ban Francisco. He had an elephant on his hands. Unlike people in the same sit uation, the captain knows just what to do with it. The Central Pacific railroad company refused to let CaptMullitfr put stoves in the elephant's car, because of the danger to the company's proper ty, and the captain set his wits to work to devise means of getting heat without fire. He soon hit upon a practical plan. ce The elephant was led into a boxcar, and stable compost was thrown In by the cart load. It was piled high around the sides of the car and loosely heaped around the elephant until nly the head and back of the big beast were visible. All the chinks in the car . were stopped up, and the journey was. begun. As the temperature lowered a few pails of water were thrown upon the compost, and a warm vapor from the fermenting heap filled the car. In this way the monster from the tropics invaded the home of the blizzard and traveled in his pathway from Cheyenne to Philadel phia, where he was safely delivered to hi3 owners. The Same Old Story. The story of CfcarEfe Bess is. revived oy the sirrmltarreoTrs deeiftue& that he has been found in the Cherokee Ter ritory, and that he was probably drown ed by his captors, Mosher and Douglass, m JNew xorK Bay. fne last story is not worthy of credence, and the first is discredited by the boy's father. There are good reasons to suspect that West- ervelt, who has lately been released from prison, after serving a sentence for his part in the crime, knows more than he has yet told. He was in nego tiation shortly before the killing : of Mosher for the surrender of the boy to Superintendent Walling, of the New York police ; a meeting preliminary to the final surrender of the child was ar ranged by Westervelt, and but for the overzeal of a detective, whom Mosher discovered watching the rendezvous se lected, the boy would probably have been returned. If Westervelt knows of the child's whereabouts he is not likely to tell without a reward and the promise of immunity from punishment for any additional offense incurred in concealing the faet. This crime and that of the theft of Stewart's body have one peculiarity in common : the cul prits are well known to the detectives, yet the difficulty of securing the return of child or body seems insurmeunta ble. Grant' Schemsi. Grant has bis hands full, writers 'Gath". He is going to take hold in earn est of the World's Fair in New York as soon as the money is put up, and that is now regarded as assured. He will send agents to Europe at once in viting co-operation, and the strength of his name there will bring a magnifi cient collection of art wares here. This art loan feature of the exhibiton will be very fine. He is also nursing the ca nal project, and coupling with it his pro motion or tne Mexican railroad sys tem. Ever since Grant went to Mexi co, a third of a century ago, he has been seized with the dream of America development in that direction and as soon as the war closed he supported Sheridan in his various aggressive movements on the Eio Grande border. Whoever would come to the White House and talk Mexico was always very welcome. Blaine and others, who anticipated Grant's renomination and possible third term, made haste to anta gonize him on the Mexican question, and proclaim that we had too much land, and wanted to keep up our enter- national comity. But Grant captured Romero and was an intimate friend of Ned Beal, the old Spanish-American surveyor, and men of that sort. ITlieery Love. Company. Washington Republic. When the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher met Senator Conkling last Monday for the first time since Canonchet he is said to have looked at him comically and exclaimed: "Now, you know how it is yourself, old man."
