8 ANTI-EXCHANGE DECLARED FARCE AGREEMENT IS KEPT IN LETTER, BUT IS BROKEN IN SPIRIT OFFICIALS GET PASSES THROUGH INDIRECT MEANS Fallacy of Situation Pointed Out by Eastern Railroad Man Who Asks Why Passes Should Not Be Exchang ed Directly When Courtesy Is Mu tual. ; Special to The Globe. NEW YORK, Dec. 26.—1t has de veloped since Dec. 16, when Eastern trunk line officials met here to consider the advisability of continuing the anti exchange pass agreement inaugurated this year, that while the result of the conferences was to continue the agree ment many exceptions will be allowed. Consequently the Christmas season has been more marked this year with ex changes of courtesies than last. Agreement Is Farce. An official of wide experience said to day: "The Eastern anti-exchange pass agreement has been a farce the past year. It was conscientiously kept by most of the lines in the letter, but. the spirit of it has been broken. Certain railway officers have even received passes on other lines than their own through their political friends. Why should they not receive exchange passes directly when the courtesy is mutual?" .'• , . Many, systems have long refused to exchange passes with small roads, as there is no justice or equity in such exchanges. A system of 5,000 or 1,000 miles of line should, for example, judge for itself whether it wishes to exchange with a road of 200 or 300 mile* for whose transportation its officials can have no possible use from one years end to another. Western lines, following .the ex ample of the Eastern lines, have pass ed resolutions refusing exchange passes with lines in central territory whose officials practically act for their Eastern trunk line connections.

Mr. Austin says his company's charges are greatly below the extortionate prices per ton exacted by the other coal dealers of Knoxville, and that these dealers have formed <a combine and fixed a schedule of prices and agreed not to sell below tllThl Ccomplaint alleges that in furnishing cars for the transportation of coal from the mines at Jellico, Term., to Knoxville and other points on the Southern and connecting lines, the defendant com pany is discriminating against the com plainant, the owners of the mines ship ping to the complainant, the consumers and the city of Knoxville itself and tnat the railway company is legally required to furnish the complainant wun sui ficient cars to enable it to do business and compete on equal terms with other established coal dealers in Knoxville. An investigation is asked for. NEGOTIATE WITH HARRIMAN. Representatives of Union Pacific Strikers Go to New York. OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 2C—Representatives of the 300 striking shopmen on the Union Pacific are now en route to New York at the request of E. H.

INSIDIOUS MICROBE KNOWN AS THE FIDDLE BUG It Operates in a Variety of Ways Upon Its Victims. One of the most insidious and yet amiable microbes that I know anything about, remarked a local music teacher, is that which we in this business call the fiddle bug. The fiddle bug operates upon those whom it takes possession of in a great many ways. For exam ple, there is a well-known physician here in Washington who was seized with the fiddle bug only about two years ago, although he is now a man well into middle age. It hit him bad. The way it seized him at first was to give him the Idea that he just natur-. ally had to learn how to play on the violin. He, a busy medical practition er, past fifty, with the natural stiffness of movement that comes with that age, got it into his head that life would be one long stretch of the bad lands and a howling desert for him unless he learned how to play on the violin! Well, he began. He invested in a fine and expensive outfit—first-rate violin and bow, music rack, elementary violin music—all the accessories. He engag ed a good violin teacher. The teacher looked the elderly man over and told him frankly, at the outset, that he was a good 1,000-to-l shot, or words to that effect, so far as his chance of ever learning to play on the violin was con cerned. The doctor didn't take any offense. He had the fiddle bug too bad for anything like that, and he said he was willing to pay the freight and take a chance. He didn't have a particle of music—that is, so far as the acquisi tive end of it is concerned —in his whole huge frame, and after about two months' lessons the violin teacher told the physician that it would take him at least thirty years to learn how to pound a bass drum, much less how to play "Not For Joe" or "Yankee Doodle" on the fiddle. "This discourag-ed the doctor some, and for the time he took the teacher's word for it and abandoned his idea of learning: the violin. Two months later the fiddle bug nailed him again. He bought a second violin —not that he had disposed of the first one, but that he liked fiddles —liked to have 'em around him to look >atfr even if he couldn't play. He engaged" a second teacher, who van shrieking from the doctor's presence at the end of the fourth lesson with his fingers in his ears. Well, since that time the doctor has brought three new fiddles and en gaged three new violin instructors, and at the present hour he cannot even draw a straight down bow on the open A string to save his soul. It's not in him. But the fiddle bug's in him, and he'll never get rid^of it. It's the grief of his life that he can't play one tune on the fiddle. If he could only get away with 'The Soldier's Joy' or 'The Irish Washerwoman,' I'd be willing to wager that for the remainder of his days he'd be investing half his Income as a medical practitioner in new fid dles. "Then there's a well known man in one of the departments who's had the fiddle bug for a matter of forty years— ever since he was a boy. He had first class instruction, time and again dur ing all those years, and yet the best he can do is to play just simple pieces fairly well. He loves to play just these simple pieces over every night of his life, and he never misses a night. He isn't under any delusion as to the ex tent of his ability as a player—he knows exactly where he stands on that, and makes no bones about ridiculing his own music. But he's just got the fiddle bug, that's all, and he always will have it. He's got fiddles and some of them good ones, all over his house — under sofas and lounges and beds, on the table, on top of the bookcases— they're everywhere; and he's still buy ing 'em. He's spent thousands of dol lars on fiddles and fiddle accouter ments, although he's never been any thing but a fairly comfortable man. "Then, there's another department man, this one younger, who has the violin microbe in an odd form. He's a fairly good player, just an average one, without any particular inspiration. He's been at it about ten years, and he has spells of enthusiasm, during which he'll get a teacher, have all his music books dug out of the attic trunks and start all over again. But when the en thusiastic spell hits him he always has to buy a new violin, for the reason that he gets rid of 'em in short order when the enthusiasm is punctured. His fid dle ardor will last perhaps a month or two, during which time he practices fiercely and gets into all sorts of dick ers for new fiddles. T£en some crack erjack violinist comes along to Wash ington and gives a concert, and this enthusiast goes to hear the great play er perform. He leaves the concert hall in a state of utter gloom and depres sion. The great player is so very great indeed,, and the chance of ever being able to attain one millionth part of his proficiency is so completely out cf the question. So this enthusiast returns to his home and vows to his wife that he's never, under any circumstances, going to take a fiddle in his hands again. He immediately begins to dig around to find somebody that wants to buy a good fiddle cheap. I've known him to sell fiddles that he paid as high as $100 to the first man that offered him a ten-dollar note for it. "After a while, as I say, the overpow ering effect of the great player's music wears off, and then he gets the fiddle THE ST. FAUL, liGOBE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1902. bug all over again and sets about to take his old love into his heart once more. . "And yet the bug has another and an exceedingly peculiar way of acting. There are some fellows who are just natural musicians—they're born with it. It's as easy for them to pick up the fiddle and run away with it, as the ex pression goes, if they're started at the instrument early enough, as it is for an alert apprentice to learn the plumber's trade. Well, I know perhaps a dozen Washington men who possessed this musical ability in their early youth, and who were started at the violin by their parents. Most of them had to be virtually clubbed into practicing by their parents, and yet, even with this forced and unwilling effort, they be came good players in the course of a few years, capable, with study, of do ing almost anything with the instru ment. Well, all of these particular men that I'm talking about have absolutely dropped the violin since they arrived at the age when they became inde pendent of the control of their folks — given it up absolutely and wholly, with no thought of ever taking it up again. And that's the fiddle bug—the people who can't play want to, and the peo ple who can won't." —Washington Star. The Girls Will Win. Out in a nice and quiet little town in Nebraska conditions prevail that have not heretofore materialized in any other village, town or city in the United States. Just what brought them about is not stated, but the fact none the less exists that the young men of the place have pledged themselves, each to the other, not to escort young ladies to places of en tertainment where an admission fee is charged. Inasmuch as a reservation is made in favor of the churches, a suspi cion might be entertained that a sordid motive lies back of the resolve of the young men. " If this be so. then the young women can felicitate themselves upon getting rid of undesirable escorts, for the man who is too stingy to occasionally, at least, take his sweetheart to a place of enter tainment can hardly be expected to pos sess the inherent qualities that enter into the makeup of a kind, loving husband. It is possible, however, for the girls of Wahoo, the Nebraska town, to set the boys a lesson that will soon bring them to "a sense of their own folly. Suppose they should conclude to go to church by themselves—not to attend social functions of any kind, to not light the parlor fires when the winds are chilly, and above all to not indulge in buggy rides, except as each others' company, when the breezes are balmy, or to permit themselves to be snugerled in the sleigh under the proverb ial buffalo robe or wolf skin when*the roads are white and sparkling and the tinkle-tinkle of the bells furnish inspira tion to life itself. If the girls of Wahoo only know it. they possess all the winning cards and it will be their own fault if they do not properly play them.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The Telephone Girl Secure. "Women have to fight for an «yen chancfe with men in other lines." said one of the officials of the New York Tel ephone company the other day, "but in our business they are in no danger from male competition. It would be simply im possible to run a telephone exchange with male operators. - "Whoever heard of a 'hello-boy? There is trouble enough with boys answering the 'phone in offices, and there is no dan ger of their being used in place of girls in the telephone exchanges. It is not chiefly because girls are steadier, more attentive, and more polite, but it is be causea girl's voice carries better over the wire than a boy's, being higher, clearer and more penetrating. But there is still a more important reason. A girl can tell what a fellow on the other end of th* wire is trying to say, when a boy would be shouting hopelessly "What did you say?" " Father of Stories About Doctors. Dr. W. W. Keen, of Philadelphia, the surgeon who wrote recently to So/ator Gullinger a striking open letter in defense of vivisection, has the hobby of collect ing anecdotes of physicians. These anec dotes he preserves in scrapbooks and in costly extra illustrated volumes, and sometimes he reads^ selections from them at medical festivals. "The most common medical anecdotes," said Dr. Keen recently, "suggest that the physician is a murderer. All such stories are as old as the hills in their fundamental idea, though your modern writer puts them in new clothes; as ghastly as though you should array a corpse in fancy dress. "A lawyer and a doctor were conversing. The doctor said: 'Your profession doesn't make men angels, sir.' The lawyer an swered: 'No, it is yours which does that.' "This anecdote, which is 2,000 yeais old." said Dr. Keen, "is reputed to be the parent of all the myriad or medical an ecdotes that now exist." —New York Tri bune. He Knew One.
