That is Il curious proposition before
Congress looking to the amendment of
the interstate commerce law for the bene-
fit of western farmers. 1t is averred that
they are unable, as the law now stands,
to market their crops because of the high
freight rates. These, the railroads say,
cannot be reduced without "demoraliz-
ing short rates. \ bill has therefore
been introduced by Senator Paddock of
Nebraska. providing that the long and
short haul clauses shall be amended so
that in case of investigation for an in
fraction of that section. the commission
snail he obliged to consider the cost of
transportation and facts and circums tan
ces bearing upon the market value of the
product and that. If ii appears that the
product is one of the neccssaries of life,
such as grain or the products of grain,
and thar upon it IL Justly lower rate is
Indispensable in order to enable such
/ .
that such transportation rate. so far as
the long and short haul clause is concern
ed, shall be considered an exception to
the general rule indicated in section of
the interstate commerce act and that the
commission shall make an order accord
ingly; the amendment also provides that
long haul for such product within the
meaning of the amendment shall be 500
miles or more by the route over which
the freight Is actually transported. The
poor farmer who lives within 800 miles
of market does not seem 20 be considered
in the proposed amendment, which might
fairly be entitled, San act to enable the
railroads to still more eilectually skin the

We are now comfortably settled in our new
quarters, Il neat and commOdious store, well
adapted tor our largely increasing business.
We occupy the whole OF our present ware
rooms, which gives us II chance to display our
instruments at II much better advantage than
was possible ever before, besides enabling us
to carry II very much larger stock OF Pianos
and Organs than was ever attempted by any
concern outside the large cities.
The Estey Piano still continues growing in
favor, and it is safe to say that already more
OF them are being used in Rutland than OF any
other one make, which is Il signifinant tact,
considering that II is but little more than one
year ago since they were first introduced
here. The Decker Brothers Pianos, which
we CONTROL need no comments from us. This
piano stands first among musicians every
where, and everybody knows il. We also
control the Behr Brother : Piano which is well
and tuvorably known in this locality. In this
piano is combined all of the best qualities OF
other makes, besides possessing several i'm
portant features OF its own, which makes it
the most desirable moderate priced piano now
manufactured. We car y n full line OF these
pianos and invite comparison. Besides the
pianos mentioned we have Il number of cheap
er makes which are reliable and give splend-
id satisfaction, and now we can truly say we
are in position where we can defy competi

The following is from the Gazette,

alt seems strange that in this city
man shonld die of starvation, but such
is the fact in reference 10 Professor San
born, the elocutionist, who died at st.
Stephens Hospital Professor Sanborn
came to this city some eighteen months
ago and began teaching elocution. ne
was OF a quiet turn OF mind and bis
habits we're good. He obtained q few
pupils, but not enough to earn him any
thing like q living. He rented room,
and by the most rigid economy and by
doing without food was able to save
enough to pay the rent Failing to get
pupils he has been starving himself Tor
months.
mot long since, when giving lesson,
he fell in q faint from exhaustion on ac-
count OF being so weak for want OF food.
From this his friends suspected his con-
dition and they brought him plenty to
eat. but he had done without food 30
long that his stomach would not digest
the food. He was thoroughly honest.
and had with him that pride which
made him feel that he would rather go
hungry and, if need be. starve than tell
his friends he vas too poor to buy O
meals victusls. "-Richmond va. J

Since il has become certain that the
Grace-Street Baptist congregation will
have to worship in the Tabernacle this
winter it has been decided to make the
floor air-tight and to paper the inside Of
the structure. Stoves will be placed all
over the building. SO that if the weather
should happen TO be very cold the place
will be made tolerably comfortable.
The walls of the new church building
are rising rapidly. but it will be some
time before the congregation can occupy
their splendid house, which will cost
about 100000. They will get in there
some time next year. probably in the
early spring. The auditorium will seat
1000, and the aisle around the room
will afford standing room for 400. The
Sunday school room will be 30 arranged
that it can accommodate 1,500 persons

there will be communion service. To-
