Strike I'rejndief d Some States Against the Company. Chicago, Oct. 19. The annual meet ing of the stockholders of the Pull man Palace Car company was held yesterday, over J5,0O0. 000 of the capital stock being-represented. The following1 directors were re-elected: George M. Pullman, Marshal Field, J. V. Daane, Norm in Williams and O. S. Sprague of Chicago: C. Huriburt of Mew York and Henry K. Reed of Bos ton. The usual qiarterly dividend of 5 per share was declared for the net earnings and will le paid November 15 to the stockholders of record at the close of business November 1. The directors atid the officers of the company absolutely refused to dis cuss the meeting further than to say that no action loosicg to any change in the officers or the policy of the company was contemplated. It is known, however, that the meeting1 dis cussed earnestly the ciiances of leg islation adverse to the interests of the company, which, it is feared, that some of the legislatures of the various elates may take iu the near future. .No action was taken toward offsetting such possible le 'islation, or to light against it when it comes. The anaual slat rr ?nt of the com pany for the fiscal year ending July 31, shows a total nivenue of r5, OtiT, and expenditures of i?, -'74, leaving- a surplus for the year of liJO. 1 16. Of the disbursements fc'8i).0Urt was paid in dividends on the capital stock. The state xient shows that no pro tit was made by the operation of the works at Pullman during the last year, as the revenue is made up of three items: Earnings of cars, .1H.761, V34; patents. 5ft..3i'i. and "rentals, dividends, interest, etc.. including loss on the manufacturing depart ment. fS26.74tJ." The total assets tire set down as S "i-. 0 13. iOX The namlier of pussen jfi'r.i carried durii.g the year were ."j.'-'SU.Iij.'i, and the number of miles run was j97.40.s.r(i". During the pro- i vious year 5.73. 12i passengers were carried and 20o.473.7"f! miles were j run. The year ji st ended shows a decrease of about 7 per cent in the I number of pa-senjers carried and of about 4 pe r cent in the number of j miles run. The value of the manu- j factured product of the car works for j the year was ?4,347,.'tl7, and of other industries, including rentals, S."4S, 014, making a total of 4.

There-port of .Mr. Pullman to the di rectors takes up at some length the question of tae strike, but he makes in the published statement no comment not made at the time of his public utterances during the strike. The number of men now employed at the works is 2,640, and the scale of m-acres is the same as that existing at the time of the strike. Mr. Pullman states that "by increased atten tion to their work the mechanics have under the scale of piece work prices increased their daily average earnings from S2.03 last April to SUMS in the ast half of Septem ber."

Jones. PULLMAII THE BliYAMTES WIN. Supreme Court of Xebrik t edtle In Favor of tb Ftnlortlut. LlNCor-jf, Neb., Oct. 19. The last hope of the administration Democrats to secure recognition for the candi dates nominated by the state con vention which bolted the regular con vention was destroyed last night by the supreme court deciding- that the fusion or Bryan ticket shall be desdg nated as Democratic on the official ballot. The question came upon pe tition as to the power of the secretary of state with regard to certificates of nomination under the provisions of the ballot law. The court was also asked to pass on the question, does the law authorize the printing- more than once on the official ballot of the names of candidates nominated by different parties or by petition? Answering- the first question, the court said that the power o: the sec retary when objection is made to a ay certificate filed with him to determine from evidence whether or riot such certificate is fraudulent and whether the nomination therein certified was made by a convention or assemblage of voters, in good faith, claiming- to represent a party which cast the requisite number of votes at the last election, is plainly implied from the state law. Answering- the second question, the court declared that the ballot law evidently contemplated that the name of each candidate s!ia:l appear but once on the official ballot, fol lowed by such political desi 'nat iocs as correspond with the nomination papers on file with the otiicer charged with the duty of printing and dis tributing them. It follows that there exists no authority for the printing' of the names thereon more than once, i The decision as to the last question is a victory for the alleged bolters, j since it was intended to have the I names of the fusion candidates print- ed twice on the ticket as Populists and Democrats. I ST 11 A l S IS 01 T. Tammany' Canlltl;te for Majiirof New York Withdraws. New York, Oct. 10. At a late hour last night an intimate friend of Nom inee Nathan S'.raus said: "Mr. Straus has practically decided to withdraw from the mayoralty racu. Tuis de cision was arrived at after Mr. Straus received word from a elo-e friend of Senator Hill, in which the latter de clined to accede to Mr. Straus' re quest. Such Tammany leaders as Mayor Gilroy, Hugh Urant, Delancy Nicoll. John M. Bowers and others labored long- and earnestly with Mr. Straus, bringing all sorts of ai -gume'it to bear, but the nominee was obdur ate and insisted upon withdrawing." The withdrawal of Straus will once more put the Tammany slate all awry. It is universally admitted by most of the leaders that ex-Mayor Grant can have the nomination if he will only accept, but it is not believed that lie "will.

This Holds Good in Presidential I and Other Offices. Washington, Oct. 19. A comparison of figures showing- the number of re movals and appointments under the first Cleveland, the Harrison and the present administration may hs interesting-. From March 4, 1-H.", to March 2(j, 1SS0, there were appointed 1,135 presidential postmasters: from March 4, 1S9, to March 2t5, 1S00, 1,705 presi dential postmasters were appointed, and from March 4, 1893. to March 20, ls'.)4, l,S0ti were appointed. It will thus be seen that in a corresponding- time .Mr. Bissau appointed 001 more postmasters than Mr. Vilas, and forty-one more than Mr. Wana maker. Under the first sixteen months of the first Cleveland admin istration, 20. SSI fourth class postmast ers were appointed; under the first sixteen months of the Harrison ad ministration, 20.045, and under the tirst twelves mouths of the present ad ministration, 22,01:.: fourth class of- nces passed into tne control ot usrao crats. The average appointments per month are as follows: Stevenson, l.:so5; Clarkson, 1.54U: Maxwell, 1.S34. The total number of appointments tinder this administration has greatly exceeded that of previous adminis trations, both in presidential and fourth-class offices. In some states over 00 per cent of the osiices have already been tilled with Democrats. Where appointments have be -n slow it has been due to the fact that there was no one to urg-e the removal of the Republican incumbents or recom mend the appointment of Democratic successors.

I am not a candidate for any political office. I am past all that. I am out of politics. "No," he continued, "I had some thing to say to the people, and I thought it would get to the masses more easily if I spoke when I did than it would did I speak before either political party.

This action is the result of the frequent depredations made by bandits without interference on the part of the two authorities- in the Indian territory, the United States g-overnment and the local gov ernment of the Indian nation.

O lie How can I ever repay you for that delightful waltz. Miss Golightly? Shn (whose train ha suffered) Oh, don't repay me. Settle with my dress maker! Some Advice. For j-ounfiT men who aie thinking of imu riage: Select the stirl. Agree with the girl's father in politics and the mother in religion. If you have a rival, keep an eye on him; if he is a widower, two eyes on him. Don't swear to the girl that you have no bad habits. it will be enough for you to t;iy that you never heard yourself snore in your sleep. Don't put much sweet stuff on paper. It you do, you will hear it read in after years, when your wife has some especial purpose in ir.Iiictinjf upon you the severest punishment known to a marreid man. Go home at a reasonable hour in the eveninji.' Don't wait till the girl bus to throw her wh::le, noul into n yawn that she can't cover with both" hands. A little thing like that may cause a coolness at the very beginning of the jrame. If while wearing your new summer trousers for the first time you sit down on sonic moiiinses candy that little Willie lias left on the chair, smile t-weetly and remark that you don't mind sit: intr on molasses candy at all, and tlmt -'boys will be boys." Hoerve your true feelings for future reference. If on the occasion of your first-call, the girl upon whom you have placed j-oiir ycuiiyr affections looks like ar: iceberg and acts like a cold wave, take your leave ear ly and stay away. Woman in her hours of freeze is uncertain, coy and hard to please. In cold weather finish saying good night in the house. Don't stretch it all the way to the front gate, and thus lay the founda tion for future asthma, brnuphiris. neu ral sia and chronic catarrh, to help you to worry the ;irl to death after she has mar ried you. Don't lie about your financial condition. It is very annoying to a bride who has pictured for h-.Tsclf a life of luxury in bet ancestral halls to learn too late that you expect her ti. lsk a baldheaded parent who has lieen uniformly kind to her to take you in out of the cold. Don't be too soft. Don't say, "These little hands shall never do a stroke of work when they are mine," and, '"You shall have nothing to do in our liome buj to sit all day long and chirp to the canaries, as if any sensible woman could lie happy fooling away time in that sort of style, and a girl has a fine, retentive memory fur the soft things and silly promises of court ship, and occasionally, in after years, when she L- washing the dinner dishes ot patching the west end of your trousers, she will remind you of them in a cold, sarcastic tone of voice.

Mr. Smith is getting right down to business and we have no doubt ho will bring himself around to old time pros perity. His case is simply one of many wherein political farming has not prove I most remunerative. He gives woids of encouragement to the Republican and at the same time tells a pathetic .story as follows "No one realizes more fully than 1 do the importance of electing the enure ii publican ticket, and I hope that every iriend I have in this sta:e wiil I e i.jy.ii to the ticket, true to Repu biiean i iu and active on election day.
