CHICAGO, June ls,--TSpocal Telegram to
THE BEE. The Alton officials declare Pres
idont Miller's New York interview to be-
very foxy" Sme one of them to-day: MR.
Miller quoted the correct figures, when he
said the ST. Paul had, in the last five months
carried $500 ears of live stock to the ATOMS
l,400. But st. Paul figures are on live stock
from Kansas City to Chicago, and, mind
you, cattle from Kansas City to Chicago is
the only thing in controversy. The 1,4)0
cars of the Alton include all the live stock
taken out of Kansas City by us. 1t includes
1,2)O ears of horses, sheep and hogs The
correct figures on cattle from Kansas City to
Chicago, between January and May 81,
are: Alton, 1915 cars; ST. Paul, 2l59 cars.
The latter, instead of taking the least of the
six roads, as its longer line would compel it
to do at equal rates, it took more than any.
The Alton for ten years, has been carrying
40 per cent of the live stock business. Now
we don't get 10 per cent We propose TO get
back our 40 per cent.

The bright little river Leen winds
through English Nottingham famous
nowadays for ITS pork pies and lace
curtains, and once the scene OF many
notable events, says writer in the
Sunday Post-Dispatch. 1t washes the
base of the high, rocky hill upon which
once stood a castle built by William the
Conqueror, and near which Charles l.,
raised for the first time (August 1642)
the royal standard and so begun the
war that brought him to the block.
Over the stone parapet which still
crowns the summit of the hill gentle
Mistress Lucy Hutchinson must have
often leaned with anxious heart, strain
ing loving eyes to catch sight of the
returning banners of the godly Colonel,
her husband, Fastening back to his

watch to worry the sturdy Puritan COM
mander. Those who have not read
Mrs. Hutchinson's book have u rare
treat in store which ought not to be

THERE COMES BYRoN's FUNERAL"
My informant looked up and saw a
hearse and two or three carriages ap-
preaching the town along the London
road. He and his companions fastened
ashore and into their clothes, and from
convenient spot watched the dismal
train pass by-bearing the remains of
the poet who, whatever may be his de-
fects, has achieved n fame that will
surely live as long as language lasts.
My small boy afterwards saw the coffin,
when it rested for day in the great
room of the Red Lion Inn, and he
thinks now--though he did not then
that it was something to see even the
coffin of the author of ''Childe Harold S
Pilgrimage"

This is ''Ada, sole daughter of my
house and heart" She would not be
buried with her mother nor with hus-
band and children, but by her own
most urgent dying request was laid by
her fathers side-the father whom she
had known only through his books. OF
all the innumerable tributes to Byron,
this token of his daughters faithful,
Interchangeable confidence and love is to
me by far the most touching.
The drive from Nottingham to the
ANCESTRAL HOME OF THE BYRoNs,
ten or twelve miles, passes through IN
uninteresting country, and conse-
quently is not particularly pleasant.
But the traveller will be amply repaid
for the time and trouble by what awaits
him at the journeys end. Newstead
Abbey, aside from it's associations, is
one of the most attractive spots | have
ever visited; but space permits OF no
attempt at description, nor indeed, is 1T
necessary-for has not the poet him
self described it in immortal verse?
Enough to say that you are reminded of
him at every turn. There is the lovely
artificial lake in which he swan and
sailed; there is the oak tree he planted,
and the monument he erected to

less portrait of Byron in his twenty-sec-
ond year, by Phillips. JNocopy does it
any sort of justice. 1t is it seemed to
me, the most superbly beautiful human
face pencil ever painted. The famous

owners of the Abbey, WAS once kept in

was told that the main reason which
induced him to do this was a tradition
that SO long as the holy skull was thus
desecrated, SO long would there be no
lineal heirs TO the Abbey estate. Hav-
ing family of children he got rid OF
the anathema by planting the text
thereof in consecrated soil. Whether
this act of sepulchral reparation was
effective, do not know.
In cabinet are shown Byron's box

Beauty in the Foot.
~ .


1.-THE girl of the period, generously
says a prominent chiropodist, sis de-
voting herself more and more to the
study of her foot. She has found out
that this instrument is capable of al
most as much development for strength
and beauty (really synonymous terms
as her hand. She sits On the bed every
morning working her toes, then she
walks around the room on her bare
toes, and strengthening out her ankle,
like a ballet girl, with every step. She
finds at first that she can hardly raise
herself on the balls Of her feet and
walk on them.
Presently that becomes easy. In
a week or SO the exercise will accom-
plish that much. Then she grows
able to lift herself off even the balls of
her feet on to the very toes alone for
moments at a time. Then she sits
down on the bed and gives them
lighter exercises, just by working
them until they will move indepen-
IDENTIFY of each other. At first she has
to pull them with her hands as far as
possible in all different directions, just
like the pianist practices his hands on
the technicon. They are very awk-
ward at first, just as the fingers would

A New Danger for Mediums.

The fate Of Washington Irving
Bishop, the mind reader, will bring a
new terror to the professional medium,
namely, being pronounced dead while
in a trance and being subjected to an
autopsy in order that the cause of
death may be learned. The medium
has for years gone in fear of the man
with the squirt gun, the man with the
lasso, the man with the matches and
the other persons bent or exposing
spiritualism, but the danger from
physicians has not been understood.
1t is by 40 mea certain, and, in
deed, it is scarcely credible, that Mr..
Bishop was in the trance state when
the doctors declared that he was dead.
The suspicion that he was, rests en-
tirely upon the suddenness of his
death and upon the statements Of his

have been If not practised, and, in
deed, as many peoples fingers are.
She is no longer a victim to the foolish
prejudice against spreading her foot
out on the floor. She is no longer q
victim of the illusion to the eye, igno-
rant of art, that littleness is beauty:
She no longer desires a set of cramped
toes, but spreads them out on the
floor and tries to make them assume
h square, beautiful proportions OF
the baby's sweet foot.
In fact the foot development craze
with the fashionable progressive girl
OF h period may be called the baby
foot craze. These exercises of the
foot and toes make them able to
spring twice as far off their feet. She
is constantly seeking better shoes.
She is doing just the reverse OF what
she used to do when she fought with
her shoemaker because the shoe was
not tight enough. She is now con-
stantly fighting with him to get them
broader at the toes, and many a girl
who is proud of her new sensible,
progressive idea will hold the toe of a
broad shoe in view for you in the
street cars, at home and elsewhere.
"a great many girls also ask us for
advice about curing pigeon toe. | ad-
vised several young ladies in q prac-
tice which they say has greatly IN
proved them. That is to get before a
mirror in their dressing rooms and
walk toward it, stepping high and ex-
tending the leg straight out toward
the glass at every step. They thus find
when the foot lights how it crosses in
upon the vertical plane which the
other foot must reserve for it's move
ments. They thus see how the legs
are not hinged quite properly, and
learn to move them in parallel planes.
Stepping forward and backward

THE strike of the miners in West
phalia has assumed gigantic proper
tions, the number of men now out
being estimated at 100, 900. The com
mittee which called on the Emperor
got cold comfort when the protest was
presented against the action of the
soldiers in shooting strikers down for
refusing to dispense. Germany's war
like Kaiser replied that he himself
would lead the troops against the
strikers if necessary; but he kindly
promised that no more strikers should
be shot if they kept out of the way.
Labor organizations are not popular
in Germany. 1t is probable that the
strike will have two important re-
sults:-one an increased emigration
and the other a spread of socialistic
doctrines.
