Rates to Be Increased.

Chairman Caldwell. of the Western Pas
senger Association, has put the finishing
touches to q great piece of work. 1t
amounts, In fact, to the raising of rates be-
tween association points. which Rave been
reduced for the last year and o half. and
means al increase of revenue averaging
81, $780, 900 o year. Atelegram was sent by the
Chairman to all connecting lines as well
as members of the association yesterday in
forming them that all the so-called reduced
rates in effect between Chicago. st. Lo uis
and Missouri-rIver cities will he d%iscontin-
ned Oct. 81. The following rates will
be in effect in both directlons for sell
ing and basing purposes: From Chicago
to Kansas City. Atchison. Leavenw orth
ana ST. Joseph, 2.50; to st. Louis, $3.50;
from ST. Louis to Kansas City, $3.50;
Leavenworth. IS; Atchiscn and St. Joseph,
$3.50. A corresponding raise will be made
on all intermediate rates affected, and
tickets between points named limited to
one day from date of sale. The telegram
had among its signers the Alton company.
This terminates the war which has been
on since the Alton left the association two
years ago. Chairman Caldwell has been
working hard for two months past TO get
the lines together, and feels greatly re-
iOlced.

The Monon Trying to Discount the P~ennsylva.
MAS Recent Reduction-The Baltimore &
Ohio Makes q Bold Move.

The announcement that the Monon had
cut the rate between Indianapolis and
Chicago, Cincinnati and Chicago and
Louisville and Chicago TO less than a cent
q mile created considerable OF a STIR among
railroad men in passenger circles. An off,
cial of the Cincinnati, Hamilton q Dayton
explains the matter thus: Barker had
intended to use IS for the round trip from
Louisville and IS from Indianapolis to Chi
cago and return. which would have made
the rate out of Cincinnati IS round trip,
but on his return from New York found q
letter from Ford saying that the PennsyL
vania q made these reductions on ac-
count of what they considered good and
consistent business reasons. and could not
see their way clear TO advance just now;
consequently, instead OF using IS as a one
way rate. he puts in effect a one-way rate
of sc, Louisville to Chicago and return, and
$3.50, Indianapolis to Chicago u return.
We use the 5ix-dollar rate from Cincinnati,
and the same rate will apply from all cur
points in Ohio.O

Railway Associations.

1t Is stated that at no time since the or
ganization OF railway associations have
they increased in membership so rapidly as
since the 1st of January, this year. The
increase in the five leading associations. it
is said, will reach nearly ten thousand.
Local organizations bear out this state
ment. The Indianapolis division of the
Order of Railway Conductors now has 2s0
members, an increase of seventy-six since
Jan. 1. The Order OF Railway T~elegraphers
numbers over three hundred, and on Thurs
day evening last fifty-ive new members
were takenin. The Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers has increased to two
members have been taken in, either
by initiation or transfer from other
associations. The Eureka division Of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Flremen
now numbers over two hundred members,
and at each meeting new members are be-
ing taken in. President Hicks. of the Ma
tional Yardmasters' Association, states that
since the meeting at Lincoln, Neb.. in
JUNE last, the organization has taken a new
lease of life. and it's membership bids fair
to double in number this year. The local
Switchmen's Association doesnot seeming
iy thrive as well as do the other brother.
hood associations. 1t is stated that not
more than 30 per cent. of the local switch
men are members. Of late, however. it is
said to have been inereaslng somewhat
in its membership.

Intellectual Women.

1t is often said that study disgustS wom-
en- with domestic labors. This is an error
If anything diverts us from orr daily du-
ties it Is not study, but frivolity. Minds
that are incapable of fixing themselves on
a serious subject are not the better fitted
on that account to keep the household ex-
penses within bounds or to govern their
children. Women whose intellectual nur-
ture consists of plays and novels are not
likely to air their apartments better than
those who read history and philosophy
Frequently the scholarly woman knows
how to handle broom better than the one
who knows nothing of science or litera-
ture. Whenever an interesting volume
prevents one from performing household
duty, the fault does not lie in the legiti-
mate desire for mental cultivation, but in
the love of enjoyment, which has its root
in selfishneSs, however elevated be its OBJ
ject.
Moreover, while the diligent hands are
busted with humble tasks the mind does
not cease to roam. Is it not better that it
should move in lofty sphere, in the do
main of letters and science, than be occu-
pied with such wretched subjects as scan
dal and gossip Those who have the high
est claim on us should be glad to have US
do little independent thinking. We are
drawn closer to those who ordinarily occu-
ply our thoughts if we can remove ourselves
from them at certain moments. 1t is one
of the privileges especially reserved for
women that whatever they do for them
selves cOnfJTs benefit on others.-Sadie

4 Bish OPS Kindness.

Bishop Wilson's loving kindness was of
a sort which inevitably begets love in re-
turn. One day in the market place little
girl of seven years crossed his path. She
was rosy checked, bright eyed, bare of
head and feet, and with rush of love the
gray old bishop Datted her head, saying,
God bless you, my childI' The little maid
courtesied.
God bless you, too, sir, said she.
Thank you, Child, thank your said tie
good old man. Il dare say your blessing
is as good as mime
1t was customary in those days to employ
journeymen as tailors. One, Danny by
name, was making a long walking coat for
the bishop, and III trying it on he made
numerous chalk marks to indicate the place
of buttons.
NO, no. Danny " said the bishop. ''No
more buttons than enough to fasten it. One
will do. 1t would i'll become a poor min.
lister like me to go a-glitter with things like
these
Now Danny had already bought the but
tons, and had them at that moment in his
pocket. Therefore he was sore discounted
Snd said, pulling u woeful face:
Mercy ON me, my lord! What would
happen to the poor button makers if every
body was of your Opinion,"
Button it all over, Danny" said the
bishop. Button it all overr'-Youth's
Companion.

A LEADING life insurance company has
agreed to pay its late president, who has
resigned, the nunifcent sum OF S31 .OOO
a year. This sum is royal in its smpli-
tude. 1t is more than most active rail-
road presidents receive. 1t is indicative of
the vast expenditures and extravsgances
that now Oh arscieriZe life insurance COM
psnies.
This extrAv 4gant or at least extrser>
binary expenditure by life insuraI &c COM
psnies is matter that ought to receive
more attention than it does from policy
holders. The money that is paid out IN
unusual salaries and pensions ard in
other methods which strike the uninitis-
ted as wssteful comes from premiums,
and. if the insurance fund is amply provi-
Ged for, represents the money collected
in the form of premiums beyor d the
strict necessities of the company.

necessity of coming down to a strictly
economical basis.

Children and Sweets.

American children are probably allowed
greater license in eating sweets than is ac-

Sweet oil for Young Children.


The value of sweet oil used in rubbing Is
not generally appreciated. When little
child has taken cold and seems restless
from the effects, nothing is more soothing
than sweet oil rubbed into the skin, before
a warm fire, with a gentle pressure of the
hand The oil should be rubbed on the
soles Of the feet, down the back and neck
and around the hips, and the little one
should be carefully shielded from any draft
while this is done. Such rubbing will
take the place Of the daily bath At time
when the child Is suffering from cold. and
it is not advisable TO expose it any more
than is necessary.
If the little one has croupy cough and
shows signs Of hoarseneSs, a thick flannel
saturated with sweet oil and sprinkled
with camphor, and heated as hot as the
child can bear it, should be laid over the
chest. high enough to extend around the
throat. 1t should he covered with another
flannel or 4 layer Of cotton batting TO re-
tain the heat. The heated flannel should
be changed for another as soon as it cools.
By this method the cold of a little child
may often be broken up and the most seri-
! Gus disease averted.
The lungs and breathing tubes of little
baby are peculiarly delicate, and any child

serious diseases OF the lungs from very
slight cause. The little one is also cured
by very simple remedies, and this layer Of
hot oil acts as powerfully rs mustard

cold one day, after careful treatment of
/ this sort win often wake up the day after
with hardly a suspicion of illness. There
/ is no better laxative than sweet oil for a
