Rate Revision In Britain.

Editorial Correspondence Railway Age.
When the board of trade undertook,
inaccordance with the instructions of
the act of 1883, to formulate arevised
classification and revised schedule of
rates for all the railways of Great
Britain, they were met at the outset
with As wide q divergence in the
claims of the traders and the railways
as would be found by similar body
undertaking the same work in Amer
lea. The views of the extremists
among the traders were succinctly set
forth in 8 letter which the officers of
the inquiry. The letter was worded
as follows:
BERwICK-What we want lie to
have our fish carried at half the pre-
sent rates. We don't care -
whether it pays the railways or not.
Railways ought to be made to carry
for the good of the country, or they
should be taken over by the govern
ment. This is what all traders want
and mean to try and get.
This letter, both by its economic
principles and the natural simplicity
OF Its language, will commend itself
TO the Farmers Alliance in America.
We gather, however, from the way
in which it is quoted by. the officers of
the Board OF Trade, that it was eX-
ceptional in their experience. A
more common argument was that the
lowest special rate which could be
found on any line for any class Of
service should be taken as q basis of
reasonableness from the companies
standpoint, that slight reduction
should be made on that, and that the
rate 80 arrived at should be there.
after the maximum for that class of
service. This is in line with the
principle of the Iowa law which
makes the lowest rate which is or has
at any time been in force lin this or
any other,n state q prima fac o
reasonable rate for any given service
1t Is also interesting as pointing
the moral which American railways
seem to be slow to take 10 heart, viz:
that one of the worst results of cut
ting rates is that the lowest cut made
establishes q precedent and an argu-
ment for all demagouges and: legisla.
tors thereafter tor the establishment
of reasonable rates. The Board of
Trade, however, differ from the Legis.
lature OF Iowa, and they summarily
dismissed the suggestion that rail.
ways should not be allowed to make
a higher rate for traffic in small guam
titles and offered irregularly than for
the same traffic offered regularly and
in bulk, as an entirely negotiable
proposition, and one which should
''never receive the sanction of Parlia-
ment."

What Men In Town Are Wearing in
Hot Weather.
ClOthier and FurniSher.
The special entertainments of sum-
mer in tOwn-nOtably the develop.
ment of the roof garden idea-have
instigated several innovations upon
evening dress of more or less OBJ.
jectionsble nature. The wearing of
the cheviot shirt with the dress sack
coat, however, Is q comminglement of
the neglige and formal that can not
be reconoiled. Nor can the alliance
of the straw hat with the full dress
top coat, as was done one cool night
recently on top of the Madison Square
Garden, be allowed to pass without o
protest. Certainly II 1t Is cool enough
for an overcoat, it is cool enough for Q
tall hat, or, If the top coat lie worn
with the sack dress coat, q derby
should be the accompanying head
gear. No one would think of wearing
the cane and macintosh simults-
neously, and yet this com binstion is
not one whit more incongruous than
those above referred to.
/ have noted that several of the
smart men about town on the very
warm nights left of the waistcost
and wore black leather belts with the
dress sack coat, which is more preva-
lent than ever about town these
warm nights. The high. back turn
over collar, too, gives an air of COM
fort coupled with dressiness, and q
seasonable tangent from the lawn
bow-a feather-weight soft surah
black Windsor tied III a dropping bow
can not be caviled at.

The Use of the Spectroscope in
Astronomy.
FortnightIY ReYieW.

Fortnightiy Review.
1t is not too much to say that this
method OF observation has opened for
us i'll the heavens a door through
which We can look upon the internal
motions of binary and multiple sys-
tema of stare, which otherwise must
have remained forever concealed from
us. By it we can, in many cases, see
within the pOint-like image of star
a complex system of whirling suns,
gigantic In sizes and revolving at enor
nous speeds. A telescope so feet IN
diameter of aperture, even if it could
ever be constructed, would fail to
show close systems OF stars which the
prism easily lays open to our view
The method of using the spectre
scope, which the writer first applied
successfully to the heavenly bodies
some twenty-four years ago, is now
too well known for 1t to be necessary
to say more than that the change of
wave, length, or pitch of the light
shows itself in the spectrum by the
lines being shifted-toward the blue
for an approach, toward the red if the
light source and the observer are
moving from each other.

aughter, Miss Emmie Tobln, the
Beiknsp's sponsor at Austin, are in
the city, stopping at the Houston res.
idence.
Mrs. Tooin's purpose for coming to
San Antonio was, as stated in yester.
days LIGHT, to address the ladies of
this city In regard to the Texas ex-
hibit. The mass meeting was called
to be held at the San Antonio Club
rooms this morning at 1890 O'Clock.
A reporter visited the rooms at about
11:30 O'Clock and found Mrs. Tobin,
Miss Emmie, Mrs. Waelder and Miss
Fenwick, but no one else. There is
not the least doubt but that the very
rainy weather was the cause of the
non-attendance.
Mrs. Tohin seemed to be very
enthusiastic over her grand work
and expressed the desire that the
ladies of this city take hold OF il and
do their share and even more toward
making this a grand success. She
will offer large money reward for
The best exhibit OF ladies' work.
Mrs. TObin has issued q circular to
the ladies OF Texas stating what they
propose to do. One thing is TO erect
the Texas building. The charter in
full is given in this and also the names
OF the directors for the first year, who
are Mrs. Benedette B. TobiD, Austin;
Mrs. James w. Swayne, Fort Worth;
Mrs. l.. Henry, Dallas; Mrs Carl F.

Austin; Mrs. Anna 1. Hearne. Austin;
Mrs. +. NJ. House, Austin; Mrs. A. V.

Austin. Over 1000 of these have been
sent out and a number will be dis
trIbuted at the mass meeting which
is now called for at the Same place to-
morrow morning at 1890 O'Clock. The
ladies of San Antonio should come
out and assist Mrs Tobin. Tomorrow
she will tell them all about il. Let

AN OBJECT ADMIRATION

1t costs comparatively little to adorn a
table with what looks Just as much like
solid silver as you resemble yourself.
Those who have not recently made pur-
chases in this direction probably suppose
that plated ware is costly enough to be
out of the ordinary reach. Nothing of
the kind. On the contrary, the reverse
is the case. You'll discover how true
this is, if you will let us quote prices for
you when you come to see our display of
platedwares. These articles will be as
brilliant in their silvery lustre after the
service of lifetime as on the day of
purchase. How would your table look
with some of them.
