"Railroad men improve iu health
during the first four years," remarked
an F. & 1'. M. Ry. employe this morning, " but at the end of ten years they
are tired out. in fifteen they are actual
sufferers, and very few can remain in
the service after twenty. Probably
more than one-third become afflicted
with ear disease. Engine drivers are
especially liable to rheumatism and
pneumonia, and, after some years' service, a certain proportion of them become dull of sight and hearing. (>th«*rs
suffer from a mild form of spinal concussion, muscular feebleness and continuous pains iu the limbs. They are
also apt to develop a peculiar mental
state a sort of cerebral irritation
with excessive nervousness and morbid
sensation of fear."
Pitcher it Picket's colored minstrels
showed at Doherty opera house last
evening to a large audience. The entertainment was rather rusty and the
audience was disappointed. Some of
the singing was very good and also the
banjo playing by Mr. Picket. One thing
iu their favor was the absence of a great
lingo of stereotyped jokes. Too long
time between acts also wearied the audience. Manager Doherty has had rather poor luck of late in the companies
that have appeared at the opera house.
Tho people can overlook whatever irregularities may appear in entertainments by home talent, but expect their
money's worth from outside troupes
who work up their expectations to the
highest point by flaming advertising
paper and press notices.
