Railway Freight Rates.
The recent agitation and conferences in
regard to freight charges, have resulted in
the adoption of new schedule for freights
to the West, which will 60 into effect to-
morrow. This will lower rates to Chicago,
| from 81 to IS cents on first-class freight,
and from 60 to 80 cents on second-class,
and from so to 60 cents on third-class
and from As cents to 40 cents for fourth

Scenes at the Woman show.
A so-called Woman Show at Gilmores
Garden passed off last evening in a much
auieter manner than on the opening night.
| Instead of posturing the women on exhibi-
ton in boxes or upon platforms, with moth
ing to do but to sit still and be stared at,
| they were all ranged behind tables on the
south side Of the hall, where they made o
pretense of selling cheap valentines and
sheet music.
The throng of spectators, instead of being
thrown upon their own resources for amuse-
ment, were beguiled by long and varied
programme of yelocipede riding, comic
songs, dancing, bell-ringing and roller
skating. About 8 o'clock nervous little
woman entered the building, unaccom
panied, and with an earnest air OF one con.
scious VI mission. A man who happened
at the moment of her entrance to be tell
ing one of the beauties that he would
certainly vote for her for any prize
on the bill, as she just filled his
ideas of perfection and was the only wo
lOOhCu up db poihV, ttho
waiting to finish the sentence he diyed into
the crowd. The earnest woman's quick
eyes had lighted upon him, however, and
after a few lively Jumps she had him by the
collar, exclaiming, $50 this is the way you
are kept late at the store. We have only
been married eleven months, and this is the
way you go on. Coming to see the beau
ties, indeed"

in our insane asylums? The example Q

investigations to be conducted nj publ
should be followed at Albany and Wash
ington."
