The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, which
finds in this city it's Western terminus, and
has its Eastern terminus at Newport News,
opposite Norfolk, is to have its North
ern passenger terminus at Washington. TO
which it will have its own line, il suitable
running rights cannot be obtained over one
of the two lines entering Washington from
the South. From Washington City it is
manifest there will soon be two competing
parallel lines 10 Baltimore, Philaddphia
and New York, aud over one of these two
the through business of the Chesapeake aud
Ohio will be done. Alrs ady The applca-
tion Of this company to be admitted to the
Trunk line pool on passenger business be-
tween New York aud Cincinnati, Louisville
and ST.. Louis, has been conceded on the
most favorable footing. The career Of this
new candidate for Southwestern and far
Western business begins to open up and show
something of the greatness OF its future pos
sibilities.

THE IRON MANUFACTURERs

Surg, Settle heir DfnRcuItfes.

PIrrsBURG, December 20.-The meeting of
the iron manufacturers to-day was the largest
since the strike. Representatives were pres
ent from the principal Western cities. Re-
ports from all sections as TO the condition of
trade showed that while prices were low the
volume of trade was fairly good, and the
prospects of nett season exceedingly bright.
1t was decided that the card rate of two and
oue-half cents should not be changed, but
that the selling rats be two and one quarter
cents. While this may look like reduction
it is in reality an equsliz alton, as many
manufacturers have been selling for less than
that and none for more. This action will
have no effect upon the nail market or
wages. The latter is based on the tHo-and-
one-half cent card, and the signing of the
scale when the strike closed ssttled that qaes-

In the current number of the British
United Service Magazine there will be found
exhaustive account of the Red Gross.
The germ of the movement is traced TO an
association of Frankfort ladies in 1913,
strengthened ia 1918 by sister societies in
other German cities. In 1859 powerful
association, eliciIing heavy subscriptions,
was formed in Austris. To Switzerland,
however, must be given the credit of organ
izing an association which, in its details, an
ticipated the work destined to become OF
such extended benefcence. This was the
Societe de Secours, formed at Zurich, In lS47,
which selected its medical men and construct

first associated bene6cence on the battlefield
with the sigu of the Red Cross originated in

ALBANY, N. Y, December 2O.-Mr. John
g. SAKE, the poet, still resides in Albany, at
the home OF his son, and is an invalid. The
disease from which he suffsrs is neuralgis,
affecting the great nerve eenters, and accom-
panied by chronic dyspepsia. The result is
considerable physical pain and degree Of
emacialion. As exaggerated statements have
been made concerning the gentleman's con-
ditioD, it is well that the sacts be thus cor
rectly given. 1t should be added that no
impairment of mental strength is a charsc-
teristic or consequence of the dis
ease, and that, of course, the reports about
Mr.. SAKE having experienced softening Of
the brain have no foundation in fact. The
poet reads regularly, but feels indisposed to
writing; still, IN conversation, his logic,
fancy, and analytic abilities are shown to be
as 10 arked as at any time. His many friends
and admirers, regretting TO learn oil his ILL.,
ness, will, nevertheless be gratifed 10 know
that the impressions concerning any disorder
or decay of the mind of the sufferer are to-
tally devoid of truth.
