their coming before congress at all.

WINTER WHEAT.
Millers Form an Association Which
They Claim Is Not a Trust


They Claim Is Not Trust.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 6.-While il is
probably true, as contended by the win
ter wheat millers, that they have formed
no trust, in the strict sense of the word ,
since there is no division of profits, it is
still positive that there is community
of interests among them and that they
have thorough understanding regard
ing the control of winter wheat flour quo
tahons. They have not yet attempted
to influence the wheat market, except
as to the change in the price of -four,
and the regulation of the output from
time to time may have affected values,
but there is no question that they will
in the near future try to manipulate the
grain markets of the West. All the win
ter wheat millers of Wisconsin, Michl-
gan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Missouri, Kansas, and Texas
are in the association, those of Western
Missouri. Kansas and Texas having come
in yesterday. The millers will now
have things their own way be.
yond all doubt, and will he able, by keep
ing out of the market, when occasion
requires, to absolutely dictate values.

THE bill amending the interstate COM
merce act, as 1t finally became law, con-
tains several important provisions which
are expected to aid the commissioners
very materially in carrying out the pur-
poses of the original act, and in enforc-
ing its provisions. One change made is
the requiring of three days public notice
of any proposed reduction in the pub
lished rates of a railroad. Special pro-
vision is made to prevent and punish I'M
derbiliIng, under severe penalties. The
penalty section of the present act is
strengthened by adding the penalty of
imprisonment to the fine now provided
when an offense is an unlawful discrimi-
nation in rates or charges. The provis-
ions of the present act in regard to the
publication of rates are made TO apply to
joint through rates. A change is made
in the court provisions which is intend
ed to facilitate the recovery of damages
for over charges by railroads, and the
powers of the commissioners are in
creased in several respects.

THE impertinence of modern newspa-

The lmpertlnence OF modern newspa-
per reporting is well illustrated in the
account of ex-President Cleveland's
first day as a lawyer in New York as de-
tailed in the newspapers of that city.
We are informed that he ate breakfast
at $50, drove to his law Office in Will
hams street, opened his mail and found
two letters from cranks Offering big fees
for imaginary cases, took lunch at a club,
returned to his hotel at p. M, had
dinner at 6 p. m. and took his wife to
the theater in the evening to see ''Little
Lord Fauntleroy." II seems this is the
reward man gets for serving his coun-
try four years as its chief executive.

A Historic House Burned.

During the severe thunder storm that
County on Saturday night last lightning
struck the old Bouchelle Mansion on tie
Labadie tract, which forms part of Bohe
mia Manor, in the Second district of
Cecil County, and the building was en-
tirely consumed by fire. The tenant Mrs.
VIM. H. Rhoades was unable to save any
household goods or clothing. The fiamts
appeared in different parts of the house
almost at the same time and the members
of the family were glad to escape with
their lives. The building belonged to
Mr.. Joseph II. Steele, of Chesapeake
City, who purchased it from his father
in-law. John Bouchelle, in whose family
it had been since the time of the Laba-
dists. The building was insured in the
Mutual Fire Insurance Company of Cecil
County for 81 900 Mrs. Rhoades had
her furniture insured in the same COM
pany for 5000. Her loss is said to be
several times this amount.
IL was one OF the OLDEST houses IN Cecll
County, so old, indeed, that the exact
date of it's erection is unknown, though
there is unddisputable evidence that it
was built very early in the eighteenth
century. The founder of the Bouchelle
family was member of the community
OF Labadists, the leaders of which pur-
chased the Labadie tract, which contained
four thousand acres, from Augustine
Herman, the founder of Bohemia Manor
in 1854. The community was the only
one in America. The community con-
tinued to exist until about 1922 when
Peter Sluyter who had been it's head for
many years died, and it ceased to exist.
The Bouchelle Mansion bore evidence of
being built about the same time of the
old Bayard Mansion which stands on an
adjoining farm and had been built some
time when George Whitfield, the great
revivalist, visited Bohemia Manor, in
1740 and preached there to an audience
of two thousand persons, as he states in
his Journal.
