College Boys Will Sing During the
Worlds Fair.

Chicago, Jan. Jolly college boys,
with their tuneful serenades and rol-
licking songs, are coming to the fair IN
July. They will have CHORAL halt to
themselves for . series of concerts, be-
ginning directly after the annual DIS
tr.butiou of sheepsklns and extending
almost TO the season of cane rushes.
During this interval the gIee clubs and
banjo clubs and plinky -plunky clubs of
all the big colleges Will give entertain
ments at Jackson park. 1t will be a
great season for college toys. They
are to be guests OF tue exposition. The
musical program that Theodore
Thomas arranged for Choral and Fest
val halls Was decidedly heavy. The
selections were all from Wagner, Men.
delssohn, Mozart, Hayden aud other
heavy writers. These are very proper
of course for musicians like MIR.
Thomas aud Paderevski and their
friends, but great many people who
never heard OF MendslssOhn or Mozart
or Mr. Thomas. and rsderew ski either
for that matter. are ming 90 the fair
and they want to hear frw tunes be-
fore they 90 home. Two hIg halls are
hcing built at Jackson park foe musical
purposes. IL wss thought 20 be cnly

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The interstate
commerce commission, by Commits
sioner Knapp. has rendered its opinion
in the case of the board Of trade Of
Chattanooga, the Eas. Tennessee, Viz
giEia a. Georgia railway and others.
The complaint alleged mat the rates on
traffic from New York and other At
lantic states to Chattanooga are un-
reasonable 10 the ecomparison with rates
on like property to tIemphis and Nash
vile. and that rates of such traffic are
greater for the shorter distance to
Chattanooga than for the longer dis
tance over the same line In the same
direction t. Memphis and Nashville. 1t
was held that the defendants are justi-
fled, by the existing contracts, i'll charg-
ing less to Memphis than such traffic
to Nashville. An aggregate charge for
the transportation of like kind Of
freight from seaboard points for the
shorter distance to Chattanooga than
for the longer distance through Chat
tanooga to Nashville is in violation of
the fourth section to regular COM
merce. Agents must deslst from max
ing such rates To Chattanooga.
