tween =. s. Harvey. OF Pensacola, ana
j. Z. Alexander, OF Deland. Harvey
has been one OF the active workers for
John e. Dunn IN his contest for the
United States senatoTship. ana Alex

was seated on the piazza when
Alexander came up the steps with
III. W. Clark. eXDOStm3ster OF jackson
vile. Harvey beckoned to Alexander
TO walk down the porch with him. Har-
vev had heard that Alexander had re-
ported that he Harvey had boasted
that there was S250. 900 in hand in Talla-
hasse with which TO defeat Call. and he
asked Alexander if he had circulated
ihis story, adding that lie did not pro-
pose TO let him or any other man tell
damned lies about him. Alexander
asked If Harvey meant to call
him a lar. ana upon HarYey's

the board of rulings that the order to
boycott the Alton was not based on the
circular issued by the passenger de-

in favor OF paying commissions. but on
the statement of General Manager
Chappell that the Alton would not
stultify itself by changing its we'll

THE ALTON BOYCOTT.
Western Lines Likely to Favor the
Road to Some Extent.


CHICAGO. April Ii The question
now in railroad circles is whether the
Western roads will assist or work
against the Chicago x Alton road in its
fight with the Trunk Line and Central
Traffic association lines on the commis-
sion question. Since they have all
agreed to discontinue the payment of
commissions IN Eastern territory. they
VIII no doubt make pretense OF Oecu-
pylng neutral ground in the Atoms
Single-handed contest with its Eastern
connections. but that they will actually
do so nobody believes. All the lines in
the Western Passenger association are
committed TO the policy of paving rea-
SOnabie commissions 10y the terms of
their agreement. 1t Is not because they
are opposed to the system that they
complied with the request of the East
ern board OF rulings. but because thew
dreaded the probable expense of a fight
III the case a boycott should be de-
clared against them. \ week ago these
roads were all narrowly watching each
other With view 10 taking advantage
OF any turn IN the situation that might
give them an extra proportion of the
through business at the expense of
their competitors. Now the prevailing
sentiment seems to be admiration for
the Atoms pluck in boldly refus-
ing to commit itself to
policy merely TO escape the punishment
that has been threatened by its Eastern
connections. Several OF the general
passenger agents would like to iOin the
Alton IN its fight if they could do so
with the sanction OF their superior Off
GERS, but this is matter in which thew
are not permitted to use their own iudg-
ment. The Alton is perhaps better
able to make the contest than any other
Western road, for the reason that it can
better stand the loss Of revenue that
may result from it. The first move on
the part OF that company will be to sta
ton its own agents in all the princinaI
Eastern cities. These agents will be in.

We Eat Too Much Meat.

OF course, it is very important to bear
in mind the principle at stake. In the
old days of the Yorkshire schools, so
graphically described by Dickens-in-
deed, in the present day in many parts
OF the North of England-it was custom
ary to serve the pudding before the meat.
A heavy, greasy suet pudding with gravy
came first, and the meat followed.
Throughout the greater part of France
the ordinary dinner consists of piece of
beef boiled. The liquor in which the beef
was boiled, with the vegetables and a
quantity of crustS of bread soaked in it.
is served first; the piece of boiled beef is
served afterwards. We can carry out
this idea, only in more elegant and ar
tlstic manner. What we require is some
thing savory, to accompany a large guam
tity of plain, cheap and wholesome food.
III we study true economy, and we wish
to have really cheap dishes, we must re-
member that it is great mistake, if we
have healthy appetites, to start at once on
butchers meat. The meat should follow
some kind of lighter food. This mode of
living is better both for brain and body.
Great meat-eaters are too often men who
indulge in alcoholic stimulants; and in
the opinion OF many medical men in the
present day large consumption of meat
gives rise to craving for stimulants,
while on the other hand taking stimu-
lantS gives rise to q craving for meat To
a certain extent one is the antidote of the
other; but what a terrible waste to paw
for poison and an antidote when we can
