the earnings would have been more than 81
per cent. less for the year 1S8S had the
present schedule been IN force.
The same comparison was made by the
Chicago and Northwestern, and it was
sho Rn that the difference in their earn
ings would have been 81 per cent, while
the Chicago, Darlington and Qlincy made
difference of over 80 per cent. The Dss
MOines and Northwestern roads represen-
tatiye stated that in order to carry on their
business safely this year, the company
would be compelled to lay considerable
track and make other costly improve
ments, but this could not be done with the
new schedule in force, and if it is main
taiued the only course left for the company
is to quit business and abandon the road.
Ali the roads urge the necessity OF i'm
mediate action toward an advance IN
rates. They claim that unless such steps
are taken soon inter-S ate rates will be re-
ducsd, which VIII, 50 far as Iowa shippers
are concerned, place the rates On tie same
footing as before the adoption of the pree-
eut schedule. But the reduction of inter
State rates is nSt what the railroads most
fear. There can hardy be 6 doubt that
tho Iowa rates will be adopted in otner
States. A movemen 90 that cad has al
ready begun il several other States.
Mr.. Dey, President Of the Commission,
saws that if the Iowa rates have the ett-c,
on the earnings CT the roads which the
managers claim, it means bankruptcy Tor
the companies. Such state Of affairs, "
he added, would be most embarrassing
to the Iowa Commissioners They would
be held 10 account for all the disaster that
might follow, and, besides, it would
greatly damage the standing and credit of
the State. When the Commissioners made
the present schedule the intention was to
affect local State rates only, but according
to the estimates that have been made be-
tore the board lstely, the effect Of decreas-
ine TIE whole earnings Of The Iowa roads
mas been very great. Mr.. Dsy intimated
that the Commissioners would not change
the schedule until it had been tested and
proved to be unreasonable.

ssMated with a Squalid Savage"

Moinseur Crampel, the scientific
man, who has brought home to France
his native African bride. is lucky
fellow. Since Adam perhaps no man
has had better opportunity of having
wife to suit himself than M. Crampel.
Here is a woman absolutely ignorant
of civilized conditions, without pre-
conceived notions of her own merits or
deserts or even any attachment for
clothing. Beyond little oil for her
Jet black skin, touch of red paint in
the parting of her hair, or few shin
ing clinking tusks and teeth of animals
for ornaments on her person, this
unique bride is absolutely free from
the extravagances OF her sex. Man
despises conventionality in woman,
her vanity and exactions weary him.
He spends the better part of his days
telling her how much better she would
suit him if she were not as she is. NJ.
Crampel now has the rare opportunity
of launching upon society a woman
moulded by her husbands peculiar
conceptions of the good, the true, and
the comfortable. Civilized society will
watch M. Crampel's experiment with
interest, and if it turns out a dazzling
success there may be run on the
African market.-Wnshingto71 Post.

formed to the drawing-room of the palace,
whore the marriage register was signed
and attested by the royal party.
The wedding breakfast followed in the
state dining room, the guests being seated
in the supper-room with the Earl of Fife
