Result Of the Interstate Commerce Commits
Siom's Investigation at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. ia local pa
per says: "Not since the interstate
commerce law was passed has an investi-
cation of the interstate commerce COM
inissioners revealed such an amount of
CrOOkedHeSS on the part of the railway
companies as is now being made in this city
by Chairman Cooley and Commissioner
Morrison of the methods pursued by the
railroads in transacting passenger traffic
The evidence already obtained is sufficient
to convict nearly every railway centering
in the city of wilful violation of the law
not only as regards the long and short
haul clause, but also as to discrimination
between passengers. The charges here
tOfore made that nearly all through pas
senger traffic of the roads is done through
scalpers for the express purpose of avoid
ing an open reduction and to keep up
rates between local points, have bessf
fully substantiated. Not one of the laF@e
number of railway officials who hayeBeen
examined was able to give a plaI&ible
reason for selling to scalpers at Auch
lower rate than they sell at their owl 81 Z,
fees, nor tell why they persisted in
pdNllS tHOIllOuS COMMISSIONS Tor tna@S1kl4,
of tickets to scalper, hotel runners, hielss
drivers and others who could commauE
any business. Their only excuse lis
they had to do it BECAUSE their COMPETE
tors were doing it. The commission has
now come to the conclusion that heroic
measures are required TO bring the rail-
ways to a realization of the fact that they
can no longer violate the faw with impu-
nifty. 1t is intimated that the commits
sioners will render a decision that these
practices are contrary to the letter and
spirit of the law, and that whatevsx rates
are made over any railway by scalpers or
other parties must be made ii the regu-
lar ticket offices of these roads, and in
termediate rates must be made TO CORE

THE JEWISH SABBATH.
Shall 1t Be Celebrated on Sunday Instead of
Saturday?
New York Hebrew STANDARD

New York Hebrew Standard.
There are certain facts which we are
bound TO recognize. These are that the
business interests, the memorable ne
cessity, which compels hundreds to labor
on the Jewish Sabbath in order TO sup
port their families, have made the OBJ
servance of the Sabbath the exception IN
stead of the rule. Those you cannot
preach to; they do not come to listen
TO you. You cannot argue with
them, because your words will not pro-
vide the bread which they and their fam
lilies must have. There is no Jewish law
forbidding worship on a Sunday or on
any other day of the week or year, and if
Jewish ministers will make the sacrifice
to prepare two lectures week instead of
one, they deserve our appreciation.
There has been no attempt made to
transfer, officially at least, the jewish,
Sabbath to Sunday, though thu
first has been surrendered unotfS
cially by hundreds of men who
delight i'll owning pew in the most
orthodox of synagogues. 1t is the lrH-
official transfer which stabs Judaism, and
no action of the synagogue will avail
against it. Our country does not stand
alone in this. Every large city i'll Europe
h in 4 similar plight, and before another
century will have passed some action will
have to be taken by leaders in Israel.
What that action will be we viii not at
tempt to forestall, but we dare say it
will be a stronger medicine than weak
dose of Il week day-service on Sunday.
Wherever and whenever Jews Labor in
the service of good morals, religious
training; whenever and wherever they
try 10 awaken an interest in higher life,
an ideal inspiration, they should be en-
couraged and not discouraged. The
demon of agnOsticism and infidelity is
abroad doing mischief enough, but it
cannot be fought by closing the houses of
worship. The misfortune rather is that
they are too much closed. Whenever we
find them open let us go i'll and assist in
the exercises.

Another Cure for Sleeplessness.


Another cure for sleeplessness has been
placed upon the market. Its prime merit
is its simplicity. The victim of insom-
MIA is not advised to take any sort of
drug, no hints are given him in regard to
his diet, nor is it suggested that he would
do well to chop cord of green hickory
before and count five thousand after re-
firing. He is simply told that at the ap-
proach of "the drowsy impulse'' he
should invariably betake himself to rest;
"nor should he tarry until this drowsi-
ness verges on Inconsistencies, but at
the very first intimation of BRAIN weari-
ness he should seek to resume Il horizon
tai position as quickly as possible. - So
simple, so simple, provided that the
sufferer from insomnia can first catch
"the drowsy impulse. ?" As a rule,
that s what bothers him.

Widow Sues to Recover from Those Who
Ruined Her Deceased Husband.
BOsToN, MASS. Dec. 1.-THE suit of
Mrs. VIM. Pitt Preble, formerly of Port
land, Me. now OF Boston, VS.. Henry NJ.
Bates ct al, came up to-day before<
Judge Colt in the United States District
court. The plaintiff is the widow of Nm.
Pitt Preble, son of the famous Gonfmo-
dOre Preble. William was Judge of s!aes
supreme court of Maine, one of the
United States commissioners to settle the
claims with Canada, and United.sssates,
minister to Holland; while the defena z
ants are members of the stock brokerasss
firm of Bates & VALLEY of Bus
ton. They were sued to recover
the value of $50 200 in stocks and bonds,
which plaintiff alleges they induced her
son to extract from her vaults and risk in
speculation. His career as flnancier was
brought to close in 1854, when after
having wasted his mothers fortune, he
was arrested for embezzlement. The
case against him was settled before it
reached the courts.
After the main points of the case had
been presented Mrs. Preble took the
stand and had not finished her testimony
at the time of adjournment.

A Significant Odor.
Chicago Herald.

The not unpleasant odor of camphor is
n frequent assailant of the nostrils ut this
time of the year. 1t is the resurrection
period, when the apparel of last winter is
brought again into the glare of the sun
light and donned for the fall campaign.
Camphor, that most potent barrier
against the ravages of the moth, does its
work as a custodian of winter clothes
most effectually, but its peculiar pun
gent odor Is hard to get rid of, and will
linger around sealskin sack or heavy
oyercoat for days after it is brought from
its summers grave. The man who turns
up nowadays in an atmosphere of cam
phor is going to make his overcoat last
two winters.
