Since the report has spread concerning the
withdrawal of the Cunard Line OF steamers from Bos-

Albany and other freight lines would reduce their fixed
rates grain and other through freights from the
West to Boston. TRIBUNE reporter had an interview
yesterday with John Ruter the General Freight Agent
OF the NewYork Central Road for the purpose Of
tanning whether the Boston and Albany Road would
consent to a reduction OF rates. Mr.. Rutter said
that 1t would be absolutely impossible for the
road to make any reduction. II it should be
attempted 1t would disarrange the whole fabric
OF rates now established. The compact between
this and the other roads provides that the
price for carrying freight shall DO five cents per 100
pounds higher from Western points to Boston than TO
New-York II this compact be broken the other roads
will take advantage 1t and put down the rates TO New
York. making 1t necessary for the Boston and Albany
Road To do the same. Mr. Rutter said 1t not

WRITE LIGHTLY. An Indiana
editor advises people against using
a hard pencil, and goes on to tell
why. His wife desired him to write
note to lady, inviting her to
meet a party of friends at her
house. After "Hubby" had done as
his wife desired, and started to post
the note she saw Oh another piece
of paper an impression of what he
had written. 1t was: "Sweet Mat

No answer came to this question
from those he was seeking.
"John,' said Lucy. IL believe

just ut that moment they ap,

hands extended, and they were
suddenly clasped in cash others

She suddenly removed the band
age from her eyes, and the next me-
ment John felt her deft little fingers
untying the knot in the handker-
chief bound about his head.
"Look here, JOhn,' she said in
a half provoked sort of way; ''just
see what trick they've played on
us. / might have known what they
were up to. Never mind, we'll have
real pleasant visit now."
They sat down side by side on
the high-backed sofa, and Lucy
talked so pleasantly and encourag-
ingly to John that he soon felt per-
fectly at home. He was almost as
tonished at his self-possession. The
minutes heightened into hours and
well, he never could fully explain
how it was afterward, but the fact
was, that Lucy promised him that
she would be Mrs. John Jansen
whenever he was ready to claim
her as his own, and John went home
that night very proud and happy,
and on the following morning he
informed his astonished father that
any time that farm was ready, he
would be ready to go to housekeep-
ing.
Peter Jansen kept his word. and
John was subsequently heard to
say that if it hadn't been for that
friendly game of blind mans buff,
he would hardly have known how
make a choice.

his brain for means of revenge, and
looking like seventeen Othellos con-
centrated in one. Finally a ghastly
smile crept over his face, he raised
half up in his seat, and nabbed a
large black bug that was crawling
on a pillar hard by, and gently
dropped him down between his un-
conscious rivals shirt collar and
neck, and then calmly leaned back
with virtuous and Christian air
of satisfaction. The bug soon made
his presence felt, and that other
fellow began to twist and scratch
himself against the back of his sea t
and look uneasy, and cast unhappy
glances at the minister and affect
ing ones at the fair being at his
side. The bug evidently began to
grow impatient at his imprisonment,
and turned himself loose, graphing
around with a recklessness suggest
i've of black spiders or scorpions,
and that other fellow could stand it
no longer, but, boiling upright,
casting one wild, startled look at

between him and the door at two

AN INCIDENT.
There seem to be plenty of people
in the world to whom the risk of q
neck or limb amounts to nothing
when pitted against the loss of q
minute or so.
A few days since, a man with
arms and pockets crowded with pro-
truding bundles, cane in one
hand, an umbrella and fish pole in
the other, came tearing down the
Jersey city ferry slip, and leaping
the space of three or four feet be-
tween the drop and the moving
boat. landed in the crowd of pas
sengers lining the edge. Unable
to stop OF once, he plunged through
three or four thicknesses of human
ity, spearing one man in the eye
with his umbrella, and taking an.
other just under the second button
of his waistcoat with the cane;
while the toos that were crushed
allowing two corns to an oath
made the affair of painful interest
to about nineteen millions Of mourn
ers. Breathless and pale, at length
our hero brings up against q six
foot Jerseyman; but there was a
soft, beautiful light in his eye, and
the smile of sweet contentment on
his face as he gasped out, "Got it,
any way "Got it, you fool"
shriekcd the man, "This boat s COM

| DAMAGED MEN. YOu can see
them any day in the streets of any
town, men who look damaged. Men
too, of good original material, who
started out in life with generous
sentiments and some generous aspi
rations. Once it was said they were
bright, promising lads; once they
looked happily into the faces of
mothers whose daily breath was
prayer for their purity and peace.
All, God what if some of them
have vowed their soul away to con-
fiding wives, who silently wonder
what can be the meaning of this
change-the cold, slow. creeping
shadow that is coming over home
and heart what if some of them
shrink from the touch of their own
babes, as if innocence had nothing
for them but rebuke!
Going to the bad! The spell of
evil companionship; the willingness
to hold and use money not honest
ly gained the stealthy, seductive,
plausible advance of the appetite
for strong drink ; the treacherOus
facinations of the gaming table
the gradual loss of interest in busi-
ness and in things which help u
man up; the rapid weakening of
all noble purposes; the decay of
manliness; the recklessness and
blasphemy against fate; the sullen
despair of ever breaking the chains
of evil habits; what victories of
shame and contempt, what harvests
of hell, have grown from such seeds
as these!
Sheer, if you will, like a fool, at
the suggestions of reform, morals,
religion !; every man knows in his
better moods.-and every man has
better mOOds-that all there is of
true life is personal virtue and rec
titude of character.
Going to the bad But there is
hope. Earth and Heaven are full
of hands ever reaching to help the
lost man back to the better way
All the good there is in the uni
verse, is in full sympathy with that
little goodness which inwardly re.
proves and protests.

Malmaison, prominent in the 70.
nance ofhistory as the favorite res
idence of the first Napoleon and the

ated about nine miles from Paris,
and has present value of at least
S35O,OOO. Known in the thirteenth
century as having been pillaged by
the Normans, the fame of the es-
tate is almost wholly Napoleonic.
1t was in this tranquil retreat that
Napoleon planned most of his cele-
brated campaigns, "where all the
glories" military, literary and art
istic-of his reign found cordial
welcome. Josephine occupied this
palace after her divorce, andi in 1914
the Emperor Alexander dined with
her; three days later she died, and
is buried in the neighboring parish
church. The property suffered from
the invasion of 1870, and from the
allies in 1916.
