THE HOPSCOTCH SONG.

AS Sung by the Girls, the Grown-Up
Girls.
Hopscotch is now fashionable among out
door girls, and Sir Arthur 5 ullivan has been
requested to compose a Hopscotch Har-
non somewhat in this style:
Amerry maiden hoes and shows
The silky sheen of sable hose:
Mid rythmic swing of skirt you see
Her shapely leg from foot to knee.
With short staccato step you note
The playful pout of petticoat,
And fri Is that play at hide and seek.
Peep slyly with An eiish freak,
While tripping %ioyously along
She sings q gleeful hopscotch song!
You can just shut your eyes and see this
ra%vishingly lovely maiden; and you know
just where she got the sable hose of silky
sheen. At Raleigh d Clarke's whore can
be found the best stock in the West at
most moderate prices.

tailment, but Later On in

Committee Of Five Named to
Consider the Delicate
Question.
Maple Leaf Overruled in the
Mileage Case--The Rock
Island Mulcted.

CHICAGO, Dec. IA meeting of the
presidents and vice presidents of the
Western roads was held today to form
ulate scheme for doing away with the
indiscriminate issuance of free passes.
A vote at the beginning of the meeting
established the fact that all present were
IN favor of the movement, but the at
tendance was not large enough to admit
of any decisive action being taken.
Only fifteen roads were represented,
although invitations had been extended
to more than twice that number. j. G.
Mullen, vice president of the Chicago
q Alton, was called to the chair. After
general discussion Of the subject, the
following resolution was offered and
adopted:
Resolved, That this meeting adjourn sub
ject TO the call of the chair, and that COM
mittee OF five be appointed to further con-
slider the matter, and if, IN their opinion, it
is advisable to call another meeting to do so,
giving date and place of meeting. and notify
ing such lines to be present as they may
deem best.
The committee, as chosen, is COM
posed of Vice President Mullen, of the
Chicago u Alton; President Miller, of
the Chicago, Milwaukee d st. Paul;
President Cable, of the Rock Island;
President Fish, of the Illinois Central,
and Vice President Springer, of the
AtchisOn. The delay caused by the
small attendance is regarded in some
quarters as insignificant. 1t is freely
predicted tonight that the movement
will result in fiascO. just as it did last
year when certain roads purposely de-
layed action until after they had issued
their annual passes to suit themselves.

THAT DEAL IN CORN.
The Courts Must Settle the Com
plications.


CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The evening Jour-
nal says: 1.-THE board of trade people
had good many irons to watch this
morning. The closing up of the No
vember corn deal has given rise to COM
plications which have to be Strengthened
out in the cOnrts. The clique houses
assert that 100000 bushels covers about
all that was defaulted on final settle
ment. Bartlett-Frazer and others hold
ing contracts sent out bills this morn
ing calling for the differences between
the short sellers price and the close
yesterday at rs cents. The defa ulters
will, of course, fight for the average
price of the last day, when the range
was from 20 to Is cents.
The matter received little attention
in the pit today. The members were
too busy looking out for the future.
Many believe the squeeze will be fol-
lowed up in December. 1t can easily
be done if advertising the fact does not
prevent short interest. The new corn
receipts will furnish very little contract
stuff, unless shippers or receivers resort
to kiln drying. The extremely low
stocks here and at New York make
manipulation probable if there is half a
chance. 1t is thought that the clique in
IHc NOVcUuD6T UGdl Ildue lllJl0 money
because of the cash stuff they had to
care for at fancy prices and the ques-
ton about collecting the manipulated
price from defaulters.
The December deliveries on 'change
today started with 100000 to 100000
bushels of wheat going around and IS
600 to $4,000 barrels of pork. The wheat
came from Armour. Eggleston and 9th
ers, who will eventually get most of it
back again. The pork was delivered by
Cudahy and the Chicago Packing COM
pany, largely to Counselman and the
Anglo Packing company. Everything
went into strong hands.
A representative OF S. V. White &
Co. was on the floor today distributing
checks for the payment of the so cents
on the dollar accepted by the Chicago
creditors.
The receipts of hogs at the stock
yards yesterday were the largest in
their history, 60, 729. the heaviest pre-
vious days receipts being 66,597.
