CHICAGO, March 4th.
The freight agents of the Union and
Central Pacific railroads and agents
Of the Chicago roads running to
Omaha, have finally come to an agree
ment on pro rata freight charges, di-
viding the receipts according to the
length of road. The following is the
tariff agreed upon between Chicago
and San Francisco. Class one, So so;
Glass two, So; Glass three, So IS; Glass
four, So so; Glass A, So 25; Class B, So;
Glass G, 81 so; Glass d, 81 60. The
rates previous to the misunderstand-
ing were as follows: Class one, 81;
Class two, 3d. Glass three, So so; Class
four, So; Glass A, 81 80; Glass B, 81 20;
Glass G, 81 go; Glass d, 81 so. The
Tribune says these roads will now
make great effort to back down the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and
for this reason will have to carry
freight at exceedingly low rates.
Edward Pierepont, Rufus Hatch and
George Scott, representing the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, were be-
fore the House Postoffice Committee
to-day for the purpose of explaining
their non-performance of the second
subsidy mail contract, which was
commenced last October. They said
the delay in getting ships was due to
the fact that the law required 1000
ton ships, made exclusively of Ameri-
can material. There was no place
where such large ships could be built
in this country, unless proper ma
chinery was put in position at Reaches
shipyard. The company have nearly
completed two Of the largest ships in
the world except the Great Eastern,
the first to be launched on the 14th of
this month, and the other thirty days
later. All the machinery is being
completed and the only delay neces-
sary will be to place it in the ships.
They ask that the iron ships Colima,
Granada, Colon and Acapulco be ac-
cepted as mail carriers under the two
existing China mail contracts with the
Government.

Boot and Shoe Trade.

OF the boot and shoe trade in Troy
the Times says: Work has been to d
great extent stagnant during the past
Winter, and not half the usual num-
Der of hands have been employed.
Notwithstanding this the trade has
been only little less than it was
for the corresponding time last year.
People must walk and wear out boots
aid shoes, and there must of necessity
be about the usual number of pur-
chases and sales. The slackness in
shops is accounted for by the fact that
dealers have been disposing of stock on
hand, cutting it down as much as pos
sible and purchasing by wholesale
when necessary rather than manufac-
turing themselves. Prices have been
materially reduced, except on cloth
goods. Manufacturers assert that
leather goods are down as low as pos
sible now. Money is still rather
stringent, and not many collections
will be made this month. The sales
of one wholesale firm in this city were
only ten dollars less than for the cor
responding month last year. Panic or
no panic the business would have been
dull during the Winter and the pros
poets are just as flatteri1g now for good
trade when Spring opens as they were
last year.

Objects of the Association.


The object of the Association is to secure Pc
cuniary aid OF $1,000 to the families or depend
ants OF deceased members. This we accom-
plish in the most perfect and substantial man
ner, as has been substantiated within the last
few years by kindred societies; and that, too,
with an expense SO light that it has proved
not to be burden upon It's members, which
not only increases its popularity, but brings it
within reach OF those most needing its protec-
ton and aid.
Any person, male or female, may become a
member of this association If in good health
and over eighteen and under fifty years of age
On proof of the death of a member of the
Association, his family or the person he has
appointed, receives Immediately from the AS
ISOLATION $1,000, or one dollar for each men,
Der in good standing, If the membership is not
full.
All surplus shall be loaned on good and suf-
ficient security ION real estate) to form 'per-
manent reserve fund.-" the interest on which
annually reverts to members in the form OF an
abatement of assessments.
In case of death, we send notice to each
member We shall have agents in each town
to receive the assessments and save members
the trouble of sending direct to the Secretary.
The Association, as we'll as its funds, Is under
the control of Board of eleven Directors, who
are elected annually by the members of
the Association 1t Is also incorporated UNI
der the Civil Code of the State, which code
does not allow any funds to be used for pur-
poses other than set forth in the Bylaws,
while the Secretary and Treasurer are re-
quired to give heavy bonds for the faithful
performance of their duties.
The Officers and Directors of the Association
receive no compensation whatever for their
services, except the Secretary, who is simply
paid for keeping the books of the Association,
and the Treasurer.
All members will be allowed the same inter-
est on money standing to their credit that the
funds of the Association draw, and they can
deposit such amounts as they may desire on
advance payments or as sn endowment fund
for future years without risk or forfeiture,
whether one or more deposit.
The Association is designed to save money,
not to spend 1t. None will feel poorer for be-
longing to it, while many will bless the day
that their father, mother, husband, or brother
