The Intelllgenccr was'the flrxt paper In the country to give to the putiUo the contents of the olrcuUr of November 30, Issued by tScneml Phshciik'T Agent 10. A. Foi>l, of tho Pennsylvania LI ties, which means m<> much to the traveling public. With all of the restrictions in the wale of mileage books withdrawn, excepting the signature of the buyer, the book Is practically open for general use. One effect of the change of policy 011 the part of the Pennsy Is a large In crease In the sales of mileage books. Other roads that oompete with these lines will no doubt also eliminate thp condltlonH that have confined the use of mileage books to too purchaser in whose name it was issued. A railroad man, speaking of the move of the Pennsylvania, said yesterday af ternoon: "Sooner or later the railroads will nettle their differences by getting together on tho two-cent a mile bash. Ah things u?re now, there are all kinds of rates; ministers get ono-lntlf fare; mileage boohs utv sold for 520, and spe cial rates nre made on the lease provoca tion. My Idea Is for the roads to sell .? straight ticket, either ono way or round trip, at two cents a mile. Oo away with concessions of all kinds, and make everybody pny two cents a mile. I don't believe the roads get on the aver age more than two cents a mile now, and would lose nothing by making the move, while there would be a gain by cheapening tho rate to peoplo who do not use the lines regularly," Tlir 5,000 .llllr .Ullcngr ItooU. It is nou- stated on reliable authority that In all probability j, 5,000-mlle in terchangeable mileage ticket, will be adopted at the nexi meeting of the cen tml passenger committee, says the Co lumbus Journal. It, will Ik- remembered that at the last meeting of the commit tee the proposition was defeated by a majority of one vote opposed to Its adoption. It is now understood that this opposition (vin be ovo*>come and that tho hook can l?e adopted. U is proposed that the book be issued by the commis sioner of th?* central passenger commit tee, and that It Is to be good over all roads members of the committee. Each road will be required to transact Its bus iness, so far as the 5,000-mlle mileage ticket is concerned, through the medi um of the central passenger committee. In other words the committer will be come a sort of clearing house for the various i\xids issuing the mileage book. In this way the smaller line*. which heretofore have been accused of doing business ?>n the credit of the big roads, will bo prevented from doing so and the arrangement will l>e as fair for one road as for another.

IIF.RH AND Tlll-RIL One of Ihe attaches'of a prominent in thin oilv related a funny story about n diuiniuei' iliat honorH Wheeling wllli hi* vlfltH now anil then, aihI who always retaliates on tin? hospitality ex t??!i?I?*? 1 by his particular friends. Tlio Incident happened some weeks ago. The knight or Dm road-tip* commercial road, of course, Iij, I finished n day's good liunlmw, hastily laid IiIh hill and made IiIh l rnln by the fraction of a seouid, Tin next ilny the clerk of the hotel received a telegram from him. a* follows: "Have wrong k.itchc). Expressed It to you. Hold mine until F see you." The hotel oMleUI* held a caucus nml unanimously resolved not to support him. They re fused even to admit tlut the drummer was In hi* right mind. Hut the next day, lo! and behold came a Michel by exjM'HN ? j i-. "Why, that In III* satchel," exvlnlmed the night clerk, who was fiiiullUr even with hit* clocked socks. Th" day following the receipt of the telegram the "transmigrated soul" appeared al the olllce nnd demanded hi* rightful property. ??See here/.' exclaim* ed Ihe clerk, "come around here a,)d m e If you are not mlstaHcn," The clerk op ened the traveling rase nnd It dlsolosed enough t?? convince the dreamer of dreams th.it it was Ills. It turned out that the drummer had forgotten a seoret cMitch on the side, a fid when ln? tried to open It. milt* away from Wheeling and his friends, his memory of pleasure* past dominated hln recollection of the secret opening of his satchel. All he s*id when convinced of his mistake wiih, . ?'Well, I'll bo darned! That's mine lure! enougn. What will you gentlemen have on me before I tdgn the pledge?" And li was there that the curtain was rung down on Ihe comedy. It has lx'on some time ago. but the tale Is us good as If It hapiN-ned yesterday, for the reason that It has never been told. A big storm struck this city and disarranged all telephone connection between that i>ortlon of the city south of the creek and the central station. Hut by ??m<? peculiar freak nil calls from the r?outh side were rung Into thv tele phone of prominent business house. The proprli i >r b >on caught on after he had answered Innumerable calls, which ho rely tried his patience, and resolved to have some sport out of It at the ex pense uf Manager Wolff, who wort a bos dm friend of Ills. After s abort hill of the tlntinabulatlons of the "alarmer" th-* bell mlled him to the "phone." "What do you want?" naked th? mer chant. "tJive me one hundred and 'ateon." "Can't do it." "'Why not?" "i'ou haven't paid vour last bill." "Who la i hat?" came the inquiry from the subscriber In a very angry tone. "Why. this Is Wolff?Manager Wolff. I know what 1 am talking about." "Well, I have paid, and you know 1L" "You are a d? liar, and you know it: "hut up." answered the merchant, who was Impersonating Manager Wolff. Well to cut a long story short, it was a long time before Manager Wolff found out why his South Hide patrons wer?> making life a burden to him, nnd when he at last discovered the "leak"?well, as Kipling would say, that la another story. Colonel Kxley's admirers !n the "warm corner" crowd at the Scamm held a JoUUK'atton meeting last night, and all because the colonel gives it our that he ha3 received assurances from the powers that are to be after the fourth of next March that he will heroine Indian Commissioner. Captain "Hob" Irwin Is to be chief deputy in th- commissioner's ofllce. with power to act in the colonel's absence; "Bob" Hill Is to be chief undertaker, and will see thai dead Indians receive decent burial; Homer Reynolds Is slated for chief clerk und confidential adviser; Major ltrxliey will be sent to the Ap pdche reservation out In Arizona, and k Is believed his striking resemblance t?> the late General Crook will bring about a cessation of outbreaks: the sound money Democracy will be recog nized In the person of Captain Eugene List, who will have command of all the floating property of the depart ment. and hereafter he should be given his title, "admiral." The other "warm corn-r" fellows will also pet official plums*In the jjift of the commissioner. Commissioner Exley will issue bulletins from time to time, which will be pub lished exclusively in the Intelligencer. . Ii> th" otllce of the Wheeling Nat ural Gas Company tiier* U a ^as Je;, fitted with the famous Wels bach burner.Chat is probably the cheap est light burning In Wheeling to-day. The gas used at the company's otllce is natural gas from Its own mains. Tl>? company pells gas to Its customers Mt 6ix cents p?r thousand. This pas Jet uses one foot of ga- per hour. Hurnlng live hours a day, there would be con sumed In a year Just 1,82."> fee:. Say the company's eras costs if five cents a thousand; the cost of burning that gas li?ht an entire year foots up?Just a little over nine cents. Think of that ye householder*! That's pretty nearly the cheapest light In the world. Of . >ur>" other people, who are compelled to us?- the city's Illuminating gas can not use the natural article fr>r Illumi nation. The same light "with the coal gas would cost SI 4G a year. Tinnafrra of Itrn I Kit Dir. Two deeds were admitted to record in County Clerk Hook's otllce yesterday: Deed made by Mr.'. Catherine li.
