"It,s NY Way

Many years ago Edwin Forrest, the
celebrated actor, was in the habit of
dining at Windust's, noted restaurant
on Park row, that was favorite resort
of actors and literary men. It usually
happened that Forrest would be joined
by friends. and that the little group
would sit together at one table. On one
occasion it CHANGED that an Englishman
with reputation for conceit and imper-
thence, who had scraped acquaintance
with the tragedian, was one of the group.
Early in the course of the dinner the
Englishman began to make criticisms,
which he considered pleasantries, about
Forests conception Of certain roles.
Encouraged by his own appreciation he
gave full play to his humor, and con-
cluded each of his impertinences with,
Pardon my freedom, sir; it's my way"
To the establishment of sll who knew
Forests irascible disposition he bore
the Briton's offensive remarks patiently
and seemingly ignored them as far as
possible. When, however, the nuts were
brought in by the waiter he took several
cracked walnuts in his hand, and, walk
ing over to the Briton's place, jocularly
snapped them successfully in the face of
that individual. lightly saying after each
shot, pardon my freed&n. sir; it's my
way" and snapped him out Of the res

An Old Fort Abandoned.

Fort Marcy, established at Santa Fe,
N. NJ, when that territory came to the
United States by conquest in 1846, has
been abandoned. The fort marks a
place where soldiers have been stationed,
more or less continuously, for more than
300 years. Near to the fort is ceme-
terry, in which lie the bodies of more
than 500 soldiers, some of whom fell in
battle or yielded to disease or hardship

Cosmopolitan Cooking.

There is belief current that what
ever can be procured for money can be
had in this city, especially If it is any
thing to eat The people who flock here
from every part of the country are apt,
sooner or later, to import their native
dishes, and to make them acceptable to
gastronomic New York.
New England, no matter how lightly
her cooking may be estimated, has had
notable success of this kind. Baked
beans, pumpkin pie and Boston brown
bread are with us. The western man
and his pork are known and appreciated.
The Frenchman, the Irishman, the Eng
ishman, the German and the Italian
can go into any restaurant and find his
national food.-New York Evening Sun.

seems that the Rock Island is tho only ono
that has needed the mandate. Both tine Atch.
ison and the Missouri Pacific refuse point
blank to cancel their new tariffs, and declare
they will stand by their agreement with the
Kansas railroad commissioners.
This, according to Chairman Midgeley's
ruling, is an open violation of the association
agreement, and must be dealt with in that
light. Accordingly, the chairman has called
q special meeting of the association, to con-
slider the situation and decide what is the
proper thing to be done under the circum-
stances.
serious rupture is feared. If the Kansas
roads persist in their refusal to withdraw the
objectionable rates, the life of the Western
Freight association and also that of the West
ern Traffic association will be endangered.
1t Is claimed that the new tariffs, aside from
being violation of existing agreements, are
illegal. Especially is thissaid Of the Missouri
Pacific tariff, which quotes rates from Chi
cago without naming its Chicago connections.
This omission is contrary to the repeated rul-
ings of the interstate commerce commission.

among those departing. The Vossche article
adds: Nobody would be left but the Cath

Midgley to Pass Upon It.

CHICAGO, February "a short time ago
the general managers of roads interested in
Kansas traffic had conference with the rail-
road commissioners of Kansas relative to the
orders reducing freight rates of the fifth class
in that state. The result was a compromise
on condition that the order should not be en-
forced, the general managers agreeing to
make a liberal reduction in through rates
from Chicago to Kansas points on such COM
mOdities as sugar, coffee, beans and canned
goods. The proposition was to make the
rate on sugar to Salina, Hutchinson, Wichita
and Arkansas City Is cents per 100 pounds
above the Kansas City rate, and on coffee,
lima, - cents: Hutchinson and Wichita 25
cents, and Arkansas City, % cents above
Kansas City. The railroad commissioners
consented to this arrangement, and it was
supposed the whole matter was settled.
But the managers made the mistake of as
Stunning they We're actually managers of their
own lines They have since been reminded
that Chairman Midgley of the Western Traffic
association, may have something to say about
the matter.
The protest against the proposed reduction
has been made by certain members whose
lines do not extend beyond the Missouri riv-
er, but who would be compelled to reduce
proportions of their through rate under the
Kansas roads had no right to enter into an
agreement involving change in rates with
out notifying Chairman Midgely in advance
of their intention, and proceeding in the
manner provided by the rules and agreement

Chairman Midgely has been asked for

The state of domestic trade has not materi-

is perhaps moro generally felt.
Speculation in breadstufs has been much
less &C i've since gold began to 60 abroad,
and wheat has declined 1 cents during the
past week, the Atlantic exports being small,
while the receipts at the west were over 20o0,-
600 bushels in three days. Corn has risen q
of cent and oats n CEN. while scarcely any
change appears in pork produces.
Oil is 1Ac lower and coffee &c stronger,
with small transactions in both.
The only great branch of manufactures
which makes discouraging reports at present
is the iron and steel industry, and the diff
Guilty there is the enormous increase In pro-
duction.
In cotton there is larger consumption
than has ever been known before. The
wooden mills have recently been much more
active, with larger orders for goods, and
manufacturer purchases of wool are for the
past week much larger than year ago.
Money continues in abundant supply, with
no pressure at anv of the interior markets;
but the large shipments of gold, said to be

market must be dear soon.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 2.-TEe McKin-
ley tariff act YVES declared to be constitutional

a decision rendered by Justice Harlan.

no. legal and constitutional enactment, by
reason Of the omission from the enrolled bill

conference and contained IN the bill, when it
passed both houses.
The court holds that the omission does not
make the bill Illegal 1t also holds that the
reciprocity and sugar bounty sections of the
bill are constitutional.
