To make the Mems and Boys White Shirts at
home when they can be purchased, all ready
finished, for the Low Prices that now rule.
How cheap can u White Shirt be purchased
25c Is the lowest price we keep. 1t is very good
shirt for the price, finished with buttons and
button holes, and made to ht. For fifty cents
we can supply very much better White Shirt,

Now, will 1t pay any housewife to sit and
stitch, stitch, stitch for whole day making u
White Shirt when one can be bought for half

Some will say the soc bought shirts don't last
as long as those made at home, but we say they
Will last every bit as long. Allowing that they
won't last quite as long, 1t will not pay to make
them, for you will have to cut very carefully to
get shirt out of 2@ yards of muslin yard Wide,
and reinforce 1t front and back. The best mus
lin 70 make shirts of is Wamsutta. 1t Is strong
and the most durable Utica is softer and some

No Rails at $26 a Ton.

CHICAGO, Aug. PA telegram from New
York was published in an afternoon paper yes
terday to the effect that a considerable excite
ment and severe comment were occasiOned in
Wall street by the circulation Of a dispatch
from Chicago. to the effect that the North
Chicago Rolling mills Company had sold Is. 900
tons of steel rails to the Wisconsin Central Rail
road Company for $26 per ton, when the price
should be $50 or more per ton, according to the
agreement of the iron and steel men at their
meeting at Long Branch, when it was unani.
mously agreed to restrict production. Mr..
Parkes, general manager of the North Chicago
rolling mills, said last night that there was no
foundation whatever for the publication of the
dispatch, and that it had emanated from Mil
waukee, and not Chicago. A contract was
entered into for the furnishing of some rails to
the railroad some time ago. but the rails were
not yet delivered. nor were they completed. He
would not say what the contract figures were,
but declared they were nothing like the figures
published.

three peaches on the table, Johnny, and your
little sister should eat one Of them, how many
would be left?
Johnny-How many little sisters would be
left!
Teacher-Now listen, Johnny. If there were
three peaches on the table, and your little sister
should eat one, how many would be left2
Johnny-We amt had a peach in the house
this year, let alone three.
Teacher-We are only supposing the peaches
to be on the table, Johnny.
Johnny-Then they wouldn't be real peaches?
Teacher-No.
Johnny-Would they be preserved peaches9
Teacher-Certainly not.
Johnny-Pickled peachesY
Teacher-No, no. There wouldn't be any
peaches at al, as I told you, Johnny; we only
suppose the three peaches to be there.
Johnny-Ihen there wouldn't be any peaches,
Of course.
Ieacher-Now. Johnny, put that knife in your
pocket or will take it away; and pay attention
to what | am saying. We imagine three peaches
to be on the table.
~Johnny-Yes.
Teacher-And your little sister eats one of
them and then goes away.
Johnny-Yes, but she wouldn't 60 away
until she had finished the three. You don't know
my little sister.
Teacher-But suppose your mother was there,
and wouldn't let her eat but one?
Johnny-Mothers out of town, and won't be
back till next week.
Teacher tsternly)-Now, Johnny, I will put
the question once more. and if you do not answer
1T correctly l shall keep you after school,. If
three peaches were on the table and FOUR little
sister were to eat one of them. how many would
be left!
Johnny Strengthening up)-There wouldn't be
any peaches left. I'd grab the other two.

Charlottesville Literature.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journals:
Your leading editorial in the Sunday Journal
on Indiana literature was very interesting. /
should be very glad to see n complete collection
of the literary works of Indiana men and women.
1t has struck me that a brief practical paper
giving a photography of the works of Crawfords
vile authors might be of value in two ways:
first, as giving information in the direction sug-
gested by you in your editorial, and second, as
tending to stimulate research and the compilation
of facts in this field all over the State. Below l
give all the information I have gathered. AS
having published the greatest number of books,
/ put Maurice Thompson at the head of the list
OF Charlottesville authors, with seven books.
General Lew Waraoc comes next. with three
books. General Darlington roisv.E's. with TWO
books. Mrs. Susan L. Wallace has puoll.r-H
one book. At one time the writer of sensational
novels, Mrs. Eliza a Dupuy. lived in Crawfords-
vile, and | believe wrote some of her books here.
/ am sorry that l cannot make this list perfect,
but some one will doubtless suggest any book l
may omit.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Building Association Laws.

To the Ed tor of tho indianapolis Journals:
Your paper this morning says: 9TH Crescent,
Franklin, Indiana polls, Mississippi and Teutonia
building associations, of this city, have filed
articles with the Secretary of State accepting
the provisions of the new law permitting loans
on personal security" Such statements are cal
culated to destroy confidence in building, loan
and savings associations, and amount to little
less than a perversion of the facts in the case.
The old law permitted the loaning of money
On personal security the same as the new one
does, but not one of the fifty or sixty associa-
tons in Indianapolis can make such a loan with
out violating it's bylaws. for they invariably
specify that the moneys of the association shall
be loaned only on real estate security and first
mortgage at that.
The new law WAS framed by a committee ap-
pointed by the chairman of a convention com
posed of delegates from ~forty-six associations of
this city. They inserted the personal-security
clause because it was in the old law, and they
supposed there might be associations in the State
which did loan money in that way, and not for
the purpose of changing the plan of their own
associations. The provisions of the new law
which the associations here wish to get the ben
eft of are:
First-Authority toIncrease their capital stock.
S~econd-The right to deal with minors with
reference to their shares the same as with adults.
Third-The right to issue shares in place Of
those Cancelled by the withdrawal Of stockhold-
ers; and,
Fourth-In case a borrower pays back the
money loaned him by the association, the right
to allow him only the same rate of interest
upon the amount he has paid in as regular dues
as he has paid for the use of the money.
Under the old law he was allowed 8 per cent.
while the usual rate of interest charged was 6
per cent.
The personal-security item is a bugaboo, and
should cease to appear. M. ID. BUTLER.

Difference of Opinion.

The suit by Encouragement Cassidy to pre-
vent the transfer of the South Pennsylvania rail
roAA.says he Philadelphia Press, is the chief topic
o. discussion on the street. The interests ~pecunia-
rlly involved in the South Pennsylvania project
and the Reading thought The action of the State
aathnxities proper and right. and that it would
result Ia the defeatof Mr.. Vanderbilt's intention
to sell out. Other persons took the opposite
Wow. Whatever good feeling there is in the
stock market is based on the alleged improve
mont in affairs through the sitting of ruinous
railroad competition which has brought many of
the leading roads of the couns>..y to the verge of
bankruptcy. The negotiations for the SAFE of
the South Pennsylvania and the Beerh Creek. it
is hoped by some railroad men. are the beginning
OF an era of good feeling among the rah"oads
which will finally result In a return to business
p1nciples, and give stability TO all securities.

The II. e. O. Outlet.

The latest story about the Baltimore & Ohio
reaching New York is that it would use the
tracks of the New York, Lake Erie & Western.
Should the Baltimore & Ohio resolve not to use
the Jersey Central tracks at all, and decide to
connect with the Erie, it would have to build a
line over thirty miles long to Newark. where the
Erie has a branch road. The line would be quite
expensive to build, as it would run through a
rather rugged country for most of the distance,
almost parallel to the Jersey Central. 1t is
doubted by many whether the Erie would allow
the Baltimore & Ohio the privilege of reaching
New York over it's lines, as MI. Vanderbilt has
a large interest in that company, and, if he is
powerful enough to prevent the use of the Jer-
sey Central tracks, it is believed he could also
prevent the use of the Erie's.

Getting Along without Pools,

The pools are in a dormant condition, yet
there is more harmony than usual among the
east-bound roads, and not for years have rates
been better maintained than at the present
time. The truth is that when the freight move
ment is large the railroads can maintain nigh
rates, for all are occupied and all satisfied. The
business makes the rates; not the rates the bust
ness. When the quantity of freight moving is
small the roads begin scrambling to get as big a
share as possible of the trade. which is not
large enough to satisfy all. The competition
soon leads to rate-cutting; one cut brings
on another, and soon a railroad war and starva-
ton rates are the rule. In other words, the
memorable and immutable laws Of supply and
demand control railroad business, and pool
organizations do not and cannot control it to
the contrary.

The family of the bride have gone but little into
the whirl of fashionable society here. But oc-
cupylng the Carey cottage after the death of
Mrs. Carey, who had we'll earned the reputation
of being the most charitable of the summer resi-
dents in a quiet, transformations way. it is per-
haps sufficient to say the reputation of the house
for charity has not at all decreased, Mrs. Coates
and her daughters being welcome visitors
at many fresides. The Misses Coates were.
during tire fox hunts, among the best cross
country riders in Newport. and repeatedly re-
ceived the trophies at the hands of the master
Of the hounds. The groom's mother was unable
to be present on account of sickness.

She Had the Cream.

Hartford COufant.
They were walking together in the early
evening, and as they passed the illuminated soda
fountain and listened to the tinkling of the
water, there was Ii longing glance on her part
and a decided inclination to go straight ahead on
his. At last she said:
"Aley, dear. do you not like soda water9'
81 never drink" said he. Il signed the pledge
at mothers knee"
'Then We shall have to make it ce-cream."
Never, my dear. Ice-cream is composed of

And you wouldn't sacrifice yourself for my

The effect was instantaneous. She had the
