The Santa Fc has issued a supplement TO
its transcontinental tariff, applying the Pa
citic coast terminal rates to Guaymas, Mex,
business. The circular says:
The rates applying from Galveston.
Houston and Missouri river points to Cali
tornia terminals will also apply to Quay
HAS. Mex. when shipped from points on
this line. The rates applying o Galveston,
Houston and Missouri river points from
California terminal points will also apply
from Guaymas, Mex. when shipments are
to points on this line
This will have 4 tendency to hold the
bulk of the traffic originating at the termi-
mails named for the Santa t'e aud will check
the diversion of traffic, and the consequent
divisions TO intermediate lines, and will ut
the same time prove very beneficial to Inc
shipper, as he thus secures Il more salts

The Railroad Commission.

Special to the Gazette
AUSTIN, TEX, Sept 22-The commission
to-day changed the Easing point for lumber
rates from Palestine TO Jacksonville.
Messers. Groseclose of the Cotton Belt
and Clark of the Tyler car works, visited
the commission to-day.
The commission also issued circuler No.
112 amending commodity tariff No |, owing
to the double-dealing practices among rail-
roads in applying the rates and reg ulationS
prescribed in commodity tariff No. l and
the fact that the ruling of the commission
of August IS, 1891, iii regard to the applica-
ton Of the 10 per cent allowed certain roads
and parts of roads in its practical rate gives
them 20 per cent on their local instead of 10
per cent as intended. I'VE find it neces-
Sary to change the ruling above mentioned
and make the following regulations in re-
gard TO applying the 10 per cent addition to
commodity tariff No. l. First, TO make a
road not taking 10 per cent increase TO a
point on road taking 10 per cent increase.
first obtain the local of each road and the
local of the road authorized TO add 10 per
cent to the tariff is the rate for the mileage,
but If carried over such roads plus 10 per
cent deduct 20 per cent of the sum of the
two locals and this will give the rate to be
applied. Example: Take two roads. one
of which is entitled to add 10 per cent. with
a haul of fifty miles each. the local of the 10
per cent road is cents plus 10 per cent
equal to SIS cents. The local of the other
road is S cents. The sum of the two locals
y los cents, deduct 20 per cent and the re-
suit shows the correct through rate, which
is 1873 cents. Drop all fractions less than
one-tenth in complaining rates under COM
mission tariff Nc. /. The amendment to
commodity tariff No. l, adopted August p,
1891. in circular No. ). authorizing bran to
be mixed with flour in carloads. was not
intended to change the rate on bran, which
still takes the grain rate.
The commission gave the San Antonio
and AransaS Pass a :O-ceut rate on cotton
from Gregory and AranSas Pass to Hous-
ton and Galveston and IA cents from Alice.
The Texas Mexican was allowed To make Il
cotton rate TO Galveston and Houston by
ad ing mileage rates to Corpus Christi to
20-cent rate in force ON the San Antonio
and Arkansas Pass from Corpus Christi.

\ Religious Horse.

A Hartford (Coun.) physician tells
this story: w hen Sunday comes my
horse knows that am not proceeding
nn my professional rounds. but he will
put on his best style and proceed to the
accustomed church, when, without any
Guiding on my part. he will land his
load at the church door; and woe to the
team that may chance 10 get in ahead
OF him. On no other day of the week
will he make the attempt to turn up
into or pay attention to the road lead
ing 10 the church. Two weeks ago
Sunday took my wife out for "A ride
on Bolton mountain, and in going had
To pass Il church. one TO which the
horse was not accustomed 10 go when
to my surprise he was bound to stop.
II was only with some difficulty that
got him past the spot About mile
and half further on he came to
another church. one at which he has
never been accustomed To stop. TO my
surprise John made another strong ef-
tort 10 stop. On any week day he will
pass that church daily without paying
ii the least attention"

HERRMANN'S NEAT TRICK.
rhe Manner In Which He Repaired the
Cxar's Mirror.

People have repeatedly asked me
which of my tricks has pleased me the
most, aud which | take the most de-
light in performing. Naturally the
effort that brings the greatest success
is regarded by a man as his best. I
consider the trick of restoring the
shattered mirror as my most famous
one. This | had tho honor of per-
forming before the Gear of Russia up
on an invitation to give an exhibition
at his court. II was done unexpected
ly to the spectators, and was not down
on the regular bin. While playing
billiards with the attaches of the court
after the performance. the Car being
present in the saloon. | shot ball with
all my strength against plate glass
mirror extending from floor to ceiling.
1t was shivered into fifty pieces. Con-
sternation was depicted on every
countenanee; on none more plainly
than my own. While the Car court
eously waived my apology considering
the destruction of the mirror as trifiing,
and ordered the game to proceed. |
could easily see that my supposed awk-
wardness made a disagreeable im-
preston.
With the Cars permission | ex-
amined the mirror to estimate the
damage done and the possibility of re-
pairing it. While so engaged one of
the suite playfully challenged me to
exercise my art and make the mirror
whole again. never dreaming that this
challenge was the very cue / wanted.
and not considering the successful ac-
ceptance OF it as possible. l hesitated
an instant. and then ordered the mir
ror to be covered with cloth entirely
concealing it from view. On the re-
moval of the cloth. after ten minutes
the mirror was found without a haw,
and as perfect as before the damage.
! will leave it to my readers imagina.
tion to decide how this trick was done.

Broke a Lamp Shade.

Mrs. Edmund Russell the apostle Of
esthetics. has a voice that would break
lamp shade, says the Detroit Free
Press.
This remark is not meant TO be i'm
polite. and it ought to he true. for the
lady herself is authority for the state
ment.
ut was in Boston," she said. II
was talking with famous voice teach
err about tones and vibrations. and we
both sounded n certain note in unison.
We must have hit the exact unit of
vibration of an eight-inch shade. for
near where we were standing the
crystal globe about a gas jet quivered
and snapped. We looked at it and a
crack ran quite around it. The sound
had broken it,"
This is rather an unusual incident.
certainly, but the principle is familiar
enough. A dog trotting across foot
bridge can break it down if he happens
TO hit the unit of vibration, which. of
course, differs with the length of the
bridge. It's a good military rule to
break step when company walks
across a bridge unless it's unusually
strong. But woman's voice.
