Held on TO a Good Thing.

Upon kankakee, close by the waters edge,
stands tree on which is "blazed" with a
hunting knife the letter c. This is in
commemoration of an adventure that
Judge Cox, of the criminal court, bad
there not so many, many years ago The
Judge and some friends We're up there fish
ing. One evening when they were out in
separate boats storm came up. 1t was
quite a storm, too, even for larger stream
than the muddy Kankakee. The river was
whipped into foam and great waves rolled.
The frail little boats tossed and tumbled,
and gave every evidence OF capsizing, for
they were not built to ride such heavy seas
The craft in which Judge Cox was seated
was particularly frisky, and the judge be-
came pale as he thought OF a watery grave
awaiting him.
Like a skiilful mariner, however, he
made for the shore and ran his boat against
tree Carefully he crawled to the bow,
and raising to his feet threw his arms
around the tree and hung on for dear
life The storm went down rs suddenly as
it came us. but still the judge clasped the
tree in fond embrace. The waters became
still, but the judge did not let go the tree
One of his companions noticing him, ex-
claimed:
why don't you let so. judge? The
storm is over"
That's all right" responded the judge.
another one is liable to come up, and
know when I've got good thing"
That is why this particular tree was
marked with Judge Cox's initial.-Indi-

Religion and Business in Palestine.

Religious activity, George Augustus Sala
writes, has very much increased in Pales-
tine, but not always along the proper line.
For centuries the Greeks and Latins have
sstruggled for the possession of the holy
places, but in the last ten years the strug-
gle seems to have been pursued with I'M
and vulgarty.
& 1t would be impossible to describe the
impudence OF the operators, their defiance
of history, common sense, etc. Where one
church has secured the traditional site, for
which both have been competing, the
other Immediately transfers the tradition
ssta neighboring spot, and begins his
sbuilding very soon after that Of his rival.
The hostile sanctuaries are often as near
and as aggressive as the rival booths in a
village fair. The spectacle which for cen
turies has disgraced the Christian name in
the Grotto of Bethlehem, the separate de-
nominational chapels of the nativity, is
now repeated in the face Of the sun on the
scene of our Lords agony.
The Frauciscans walled in their Goth
semane some years ago; but now above it,
separated only by a narrow lane, rises a
new, garish, CHASTITY pile of white stone
walls and pinnacles called 1.-The Greek
Gethsemane" If this sort of thing goes
on it will fast become improbable to realize
that there ever was a garden or an olive on
the mount.

via Vera Cruz and Tampico. ST
Louis merchants have been patiently
waiting TO see New YORK. rates to Mexico
restored to d base which would give st.
Louis her share OF the Mexican
business. It would appear however,
that the ruinously low rates from
New York which resulted from the cut
throat policy of competing lines, are not
likely to be advanced for some time TO
come. and while this war wages St. LOUIS
houses are forced to sit back and
see their Mexican customers driven 10
New York for all their supplies. The com
mittee on Mexican trade attached to the St
Louis traffic commission yesterday al
dressed Col Faithorn, chairman OF the
Southwestern Railway and Steamship asso-
citation and the freight trallic mana
gers of the St. Louis lines hauling
freight to Old Mexico, also the lines from
Mexico running south from Rio Grande,
presenting to them the situation as 1t
affects ST Louis and urging them to take
some measures for protection OF the trade
of this city. The committee represents not
only the traffic commission as body, but
each member represents strong nrm' ana
they know whereof they speak.
The St. Louis lines are asked to make
vigorous efforts to restore the situation.
The present low rates from Eastern sea
board to Mexico practically shuts st. Louis
firms out Of the Mexican trade.
ST Louis, Mo-. Nov. 22.-Commissioner
Osgood has received. in response to circu-
lar of inquiry. Whole batch of letters from
St Louis Leading firms, all telling the same
tale. viz: That freight ratesssbetween ST.
Louis and Mexico are so high that low sea-
board rates compel Mexican merchants TO
seek their supplies in the seaboard markets,
and they are positively driven away from
St. Louis.
This is peculiarly aggravating in view of
the fact that the most cordial relations eX-
list between the merchants of St Louis and
Mexico and there is every disposition on
the part Of Mexican merchants to buy all
their goods in this market. They cannot
do this, however, with all-rail traffic rates
against them. 1t would seem to be case
calling for the peace-making diplomacy Of
Chairman Faithorn of the Southwestern
railway and steamship association, who Is
commissioner of the Western traffic associa-
tia; and, if he cannot adjust the situation
on the seaboard. it would be well for him 10
take a trip to Mexico ana work with the
Mexicon lines, seeking their cooperation
with St. Louis lines in his own association.

Cotton Blockade.

LITTLE Rock. ARK, Nov. 22.-Dispatches
from Gainesville and Ozark say the great
est cotton blockade ever known IS now eX-
isting at the points named, and other places
along the Little Rock and Fort Smith road.
The road is branch of the Missouri Pa
cific, or Jay Gould system The company
can not, or will not furnish cars for the
transportation of cotton, and in consequence
thousands Of bales have accumulated.
This condition has existed
since the cotton season opened, buyers find
ing it impossible to ship the staple to mar
l1et. There is no competing line, and the
people are al the mercy of the railroads.
Since the season commenced the price has
been constantly dropping, and holders of it
find themselves out thousands of dollars on
that account alone.
1t is understood that suits will be insti-
tuted against the Missouri Pacific system
aggregating over Sl00,0O for damages arts
ing from failure to ship and depreciation III
prices In addition to this, it is proposed
to have the next Arkansas legislature pass
Il stringent bill compelling railroad compa-
MES to furnish cars for shippers.

Visiting Railway Officials.

Yesterday Comptroller Oliver ". Mink
of the Union Pacific and party passed the
day in the city. Mr.. Mink was clOseted the
greater portion Of the day with Col. Morgan
Jones, President Of the Fort Worth and
Denver City railway, though what the re
suit of the conference may have been no
one outside of those privy to it are aware.
In connection with the confirmation of the
rumor that General Superintendent Dun
can had resigned, il is thought tins visit
means more than at first blush appears up
on the surface, not only to the employees OF
the system in this city but TO the city as
well. 1t is also whispered hat the Belt
line project has been revived and that 1t
will shortly be constructed. though whether
this is so remains to be seen. Nh. Mink

The white-caps paid this town visit last
night, the result of which was learned this
morning on finding the body of Billy
Black, colored hanging to large
scale beam erected in the mid
die and most elevated spot in
the streets. The victim was stranger
here, only being in the city three or four
days, during which time he made himself
very insulting among the ladies and chill
dren. He struck the railroad agents little

sprained her ankle in attempting to
escape this rascal, from which she has been
in bed two days The officers of the law
were too slow for the outraged citizens,
