The Rock Islands Percentage.

Especial Telegram to the GlObe.l
CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-Mr. E. st. John, gen
eral ticket and passenger agent of the
Rock Island, yesterday received the fol
lowing dispatch from General Manager
R. R. Gable regarding the report that the
Rock Island had accepted 25 per cent. OF
the Minneapolis east bound business and
IA per cent. of the st. Paul business
''There is no truth in the report as to per
centage, and you can so state. I woulc
not agree to cut off commissions
in any direction. The other parties
wanted to do so. In the passenger matter
we all get what we can and keep it. will
be at home Saturday morning.
1t is understood that the general mana
gers of the various Northwestern roads will
meet in this city Tuesday to agree upon
the details for carrying out the agreemen,
made in New York. From this it would
appear that no definite arrangements re-
garding the division of the st. Pau
and Minneapolis traffic have been
made. The Illinois Central railroad still
continues to charge war rates ON Omaha
business and also on Sioux City business.
The Illinois Central people say that the
Northwestern roads must agree to respect
Illinois Central points before they will
give up the fight. Their grievance, they
say, is not of recent origin. The Northwest
roads, they say, have been cutting into the
Illinois Central territory in Iowa and
made business Improbable from such
points. This they say, will have to be
stopped, or the war, as far as the Illinois
Central is concerned. will go on.

up my mind to be brave and stand it, and
I know can. I stood the last few days OF
the trial, and I stood the verdict because
made up my mind must do it. From the
first day that Tobias was chosen on the
jury I saw that he would convict me, and !

Cutting Rates.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 16.-It is reported that
some fast freight lines are again cutting
rates on eastern shipments. This is done
by consigning to intermediate points and
rebilling to the destination. This is the
old game to beat the pool, and some lines
it is said, are quite successful in plying
it. The Midland line running over the
Chicago & Alton, and the White line over
the Indianapolis & st. Louis roads are
the lines specially mentioned as engaged
in cutting, and other lines threaten to re-
taliate unless rates are restored.

Letter in Boston Jour.


Here is an anecdate that was told me at the
table the other day by a lady who said that her
husband, though a Republican, was going to
vote for him because he wanted to give the old
man chance" A plainly dressed woman,
evidently in mental distress, presented her
self at his law office one day, and his secre-
tary, In the outer Office, told her that the Cen
eral was engaged inside and could not possibly
see her May l come tomorrow, then p"
she tremulously inquired. "No; he is going
to Washington tomorrow" She sat u fow
moments, with evident reluctance to yield her
hope, and presently Mr.. Butler came out and
passed through the fnte-room to go to lunch
con. One of his shrewd eyes caught the
timid figure, and he paused before her and
asked her, in rapid but kind words, if she
wanted to see him. "That is what came
for" she said, wistnlly. estate your bust
ness very briefly, and l will see what can be
DONE" he said, ushering her into his consult
ing room. She told him sad story of con-
iugal sorrow, through selfish and tyran-
nical husband, who had got from her the
little fortune left her by parents, and not
only did not support her, but abused her.
He said: Now, madam, if / inquire into
this case, shall l find that you, after all, are
the one to blame? Are the facts exactly as
you represent them to me, and have you been
to him good and true wife?'' "God knows
l have tried to be, and that all 1 have told
you is true" she answered fervently, and
drawing out $50, she said, az have borrowed
this to come to you with, and Pm sorry
1t is not more; but do take it, and see if you
can not set me free from him." The Gen
eral waved back the hand which offered the
pitiful sum, and said, 81 will undertake your
case, but your money is no object to me. l am
not in need oft; but would like to help you"
He returned in due time from Washington,
took hold of her case, which was so clear that
he easily secured the divorce and recovered
$4,000 of her patrimony for her; and even
then he would accept no fee neither did he
make any overtures oven of friendship toward
her beyond mere business-like humanity
the humanity of a busy, absorbed, but not
ungenerous man. l have heard several anec-
dotes of him here as favorable as this, and in
Washington he is known as man of great
kindness to the poor and the dependent.

follows: "My friend, find that am becalmy !:

anything to eat since 3 o'clock yesterday

him bran new dollar bill, with feeling of
commiseration for his washerwoman, and the
Yankee folded himself together like an old
fashioned clothes-horse, and just as he was
about to close the door, stuck his head back
and sagely remarked: 81 hope that God will
reward you in the next world, and that you'll
get some dividends, in this. So'long."

"Pve been devoting the last three Sundays

of her."
did she talk very much while here?"
Oh, bless you, no. We cracked her right
through, so that she didn't get any time
for that. Forty negatives in an hour and a
half is pretty quick work, let me tell you. 1t
was hurry-scurry all the time. Oh, we ratified
her right along"
You have seen q great many beautiful
women in your day on account of your busi-
ness. Now, do you think she is beautiful?"
She is a high-cheek- -boned woman. Is
that beauty?"
"Then you don't think she's the most beau
tiful woman that ever had her picture taken
here?"
What" he replied, swapping his braces
against his shoulders; "why not much. Ten
years ago, when Fanny Davenport was in her
prime, she was much more beautiful than
Mrs. Langtry. There was something grand
and majestic and beautiful about her. Sh,
couldn't be beaten. She is the most beautiful
woman ever photographed. Mrs. Langtry
is what l call charming, but not beautiful.
Oh, no."

pictures you made of her, as she is reported to
have said, They make me pretty; Pm beau
