Interstate Railway Commission Decision.
Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, Tex, May 22.-General
Freight Agent Hinton of the Texas and
Pacific called the attention of your cor
respondent this afternoon to the recent
decision Of the interstate railway COM
mission in the case of the New Orleans
cotton exchange VS.. the Illinois Central
railway company. The exchange brought
suit practically to require cotton intended
for export to be billed to the port of
shipment and then robIlled to the foreign
market port, the purpose being to COM
pei it to pass through the exchange and
pay tribute to the exchange on
each bale. The commission de-
cision is to the effect that the cotton
may be shipped from Dallas, Fort Worth
or any interior point, through the ports
of Galveston or New Orleans, or, as the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas is doing, by
way of Boston, and billed through TO
Liverpool or any other foreign port.
This decision knocks out the cotton ex-
changes and prohibits them from exact
Ing tribute on each bale destined for
foreign shipment.
The exchange also sought to compel
this road to ship uncompressed cotton on
fiat cars instead of in box cars. The
commission decides adversely to this
claim.
The decision deals with the question of
the relation of local rates to through
rates in connection with water rates,
and decides that where number of rail-
roads are competing for through traffic
they may make a through rate for their
proportion of the distance, even though
such rate be less than the local rate for
the same distance and between the same

More Hours for Play.
From tho New York Star.
A generation ago relaxation from daily
work was exceptional. The lAborer,
whether ENGAGED IN professional or me-
chauical work, was considered In duty
bound Ito unremitting industry. Those
wh0se means gave them freedom from
work and led them 10 . life OF idleness
were the only members Of The comm IN
ity who were held to be entitled to rest.
Theories and conditions have changed
aimee then. The world 10 learning the
virtues Of idleaess. 1t 10 not now the
correct thing TO work 1868 days In the

mechanics the business men. In TACT,
leisure NO Icss than work Il now an

Nowhere has this new spirit declared
Itself mere strongly than In this country.
The hours of labor In mechanical en-
ploy u,euts are bciug reduced. Wa are

These changes have been brought
about without injury to industrial con
ditions. 1n fact, the relaxation OF oul

From the obe-Democrat.
Riding In Ca ifornia one day, my com.
papion called attention to q bird In the
road ahead of me. II was something
like prairie chicken, but much more
slender aud graceful in build. 1t was
not using Its wings, but II moved very
rapidly, aad we had to keep the horse in
a pretty good trot to keep up with II.
Ny friend told me that It was u road
runner" bird that was noted there for
ite pedestrian mpiishnents, and a
peculiar habit they have Is to walk
always In the centre OF the road. When
one o. these birds meets rattlesnake it
behaves In such coy manner that It
leads tho snake to think 1t will become
the vietim of Its chsrm, and while II Is
keeping the snake In doubts as to Its in
tentions, 1t runs about In she cactus and
picks of tho thorus with Ito bill, drop.

until 1t has him completely surrounded
by cactus thorns. Then 1t flies to some

"Prepara,iou Tor Marriage" was the
iuters i'm subject discussed last even

sermon WAS one in o series of lectures
taken from the story Of Ruth, the i.o--
ton under ipsideration being Chapter

| Tie bu.iuess ability Of Boaz formed
| tie keynote OF the discourse. DR.. Webb
TAD that one must not, In tie words OF

food, when man could consult bis

publication and then live 900 or 600
Yeas 10 see It's final success. But 1t will
not do new when lie 10 commonly spent
at fixty-iive.
All OF this, Dr.. Webb thought, applied
peculiarly TO matrimonial affairs. "Not
that woull have you form hssty or III
considered marriage" said the minister,
"but when man gets go far as to WOO
the affections Of woman, ne ought to
have IN view = serious elimination In
marriage. The idea that counting q
wonsn's love Is merely idle play, is an
utterly false and mischievous ons. Court
ing is q means to an eud. As l usher
e.aud 1t, that end Is lawful marriage
within q reasonable period. Hence No
man has the right to do the one without
being able and prepared to do the other.
Otherwise 1t WAS waste Of time that
young people might better employ in sell
improvement. A man AZ rs, with money
of his own earning, will command hear.

The preacher then spoke against tht
vanity Of fine display which kept many
htut ct people from marrying, with small
beginnings. Once convinced Of bis lovs
man should not hesitate, for. "No mar
can live piously or de righteo usly with

prevents the contracted muscle fbers from
adjusting themselves in compact bundles so
as to form the Characteristic hard wOod-like
mass of the trained athlete.
Now the only way 10 reduce fat is to ex-
ercise those muscles which are incumbered
with 1t. The abdominal muscles are not
brought into decided and strong action by a
man of sedentary occupation probably once
day; and many men of active manual
labor even do not use the muscles much.
remember the time when fat men used TO be
advised to lie down on hard table on their
faces, place their hands behind their backs,
and, while lying fiat raise the head and
shoulders as high in the air as possible. This
no doubt gave the abdominal muscles some
exercise, but gave those OF the back and
neck great deal more; SO that mans
spine ached long before his abdominal mus
Giles felt any strain on them. In these days
there are a couple of machines on the mar
ket that are especially adapted for bringing
the abdominal muscles into active motion"
Cuts of these machines are produced with
this article. That part which is the same in
both is the iron standard against the wall,
up and down which the weights run smooth
ly, as they are raised and lowered by the
ropes that run through swiveled pulleys.
The man who is pulling on the ropes with
his head is giving his abdominal muscles
the most severe work. The other man, who
