THOSE WOMEN FOLK.
How Hard-Headed Men Esti-

They Don't Understand.

Anybody who has led domestic IIfe knows
how common such things as the backache and
pains in the chest are among the women who
do the work Often-and perhaps generally
the distresses are borne without much COM
plant. The women get about, and the machine
ry of the house goes on Beyond this, those
coarse. grained animals whom New England
women call ''the men folks" seldom look. So
long as their wives or daughters are not actually
in bed, under the doctors care, the average
thick-skinned husband and father gives the sub
jeot no attention. At the same time the poor
household druid ges-who deserve better fate
creep around, broom or utensils in hand, up
stairs, down stairs and outofdoors, doing that
w0man's work which 's never done" Losses
OF loved wives and fair girls-losses whose sud
denness and unexpectedness astonish those
wooden pated husbands and fathers-fall, SEEM
ingy out of a clear sky, and form the logical
sequel to the story of neglect.
Now, you men who stand at the heads OF ten
thousand such homes, allow TO drop word
in your receptive ears. II these women of yours
are worth having, they are worth saving. Tne

There IS good authority for the statement that
the Indiana, Bloomington & Western syndicate
has abandoned the idea Of securing control of
the Cleveland, Akron & Columbus road. 1t is
true. as the Journal stated, that Austin Corbin
visited Europe to meet the Dutch bondholdsns
and confer on the matter, but through
a mistake as to the point of meeting the more
important of the Dutch bondholders, whom he
crossed the water to confer, with he did meet,
and finally Mr.. Corhin returned, not accomplish
ing his mission, aud since his return the CORE
spondence has been OF such character as to
Indicate that the Dutchmen were not anxious
TO turn the property over to the

A Few Remarks About Railway President

A Few Remarks About Railway Presidents
and the West Shore Line
Interview in New York Paper.
"A meeting of the trunk line presidents
has been talked about good deal lately"

Mr.. Vanderbilt said in reply, and as he spoke
he laughed pleasantly. Il am not a presi-
dent, and don't care whether they meet or
not. But what do they want to meet for.
anyhow? The Grand Trunk cutting rates?
Why, of course the Grand Trunk is cutting
rates. 1t wouldn't do any business at all if
it didn't cut rates. The only thing for me
to do is to say how far they may cut them
That's all there is about that. There ism t
much need of a presidents meeting if the
cutting of rates by the Grand Trunk is all
the presidents would have to talk about"
''Stocks are little higher than they were
when you went away"

about the movements or prices l have

CORRECT IN THEORY.
IutimatiOn that Pennsylvania Agents Are
Receiving Commissions.

Intimation that Pennsylvania Agents Are
Receiving Commissions.
In commenting on an article which recently
appeared in the journal showing the position
taken by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
against paying commissions, the Railway Pas
eenger Agent says: "This Platforms, IN theory,
apparently a sound one, and, were all the lines
in the country working in perfect harmony,
there might be possibility of its general adop-
tiOn; but competition, which is the handspring
to all live business. is increasing among rail-
roads rapidly new lines are opened, and so
long as active competition exists among rail-
roads, SO long will the weaker and less favored
lines adhere to the old plan of paying commits
sion for business. The millennium in railway
matters is a long way distant yet; and until 1t
is come, the active passenger agent will cling to
the old devices for increasing his traffic until he
inyents better ones.
SIT is easy for the Pennsylvania people to say
they have, by increasing the salaries Of their own
agents, given them far equivalent for their
lost commissions, but 1t will besa hard matter for
them to demonstrate that their agents are salts
he'd to accept the aituatiOn the company has
arrangedit The agents are, no doubt, gratiied
by their increased salaries, hut it is to he
d0ubted that they are so stupendously grateful
that their commissions are discontinued"

The Marion 8 indianapolis Road To Be
Built-The Project Taking Definite shape.
John Browniee and other parties interested
in the building of the Marion q Indianapolis
road were in the city yesterday, and are strong
in the belief that the road will be built. Until
quite recently it has been proposed to construct
the road narrow gauge, but parties who offer to
take the bonds do so only with the understand
ing that it shall be a standard gauge road: there
fore the narrow gauge business has wisely been
abandoned Mr.. Browniee states that the dis
tanee from Marion to Indianapolis b. the pro-
posed line will be sixty-eight miles, and fifty
two miles of the right of way have already
been secured and $l24,000 in subsidies voted

THE MACLEOD SURPRISE.

Why He Did Not Become General Manager
of the Union Railway Company.
The reason now assigned for the surprise that
John Macleod did not assume the position of
viee-Dresident and general manager of the Union
Railway Company is that the articles of associa-
tion 60 not admit of person holding such Off
cos unless he is official of one of the prOprie-
tary lines, cOnse quently his acts might lead to
litigation. This clause in the articles of associa-
tiOn was not discovered until his appointment
had been officially announced 1t Is further
stated that should the Union Railway Company
be reorganized there is a strong probability that
ager, and will accept. Several important mat
ters are hanging on this reorganization scheme
and for that reason President McCrea is anxious
that the directors of the Union Railway Com
pany meet at an early day and carry out the pro-
posed plan.

Business Methods in indianapolis.

Lafayette Courier.
Indianapolis is no longer fed on manns
nor do the ravens come bearing strawberries
to Brother Reed and the prophets. Her good
people have at last come to a realizing sense
of the simple methods by which great cities
are built. and are utilizing her ample capital
and rich resources in ways that are helpful
and hopeful. A strong syndicate OF her
capitalists has just bought a narrow gauge
railroad, and will extend it to the Missouri
river. Her Board of Trade is not a cover for
Chicago gambling, but factor in legitimate
business-the fostering of manufacturing,
and animated by united and enthusiastic
purpose TO build up indianapolis is doing
great good. This is what We covet for La
