THE TURF'S GREAT PAGERS.

Blue Sign, 2osA, is doing very fast work
this season
Vitello, 2:1111a5, is TIE champion PAGER of
the Empire State.
Among the mares, Yolo Maid, 2:12, stands
very high as PAGER.
The veteran Johnston is being cam
paigned again this year. -
Guy, s:06A, is one of the swiftest 'sside.
wheelers' out this season.
Direct, 2:05115, is California horse He
will not be campaigned this year.
Saladin recently defeated Champion Mas.
cot, 2:04, in the fast time of 2:05A.
Turf prophets believe the PAGER will be
the first two minute harness horse.
Roy Wilkes, 2:0711z, will without doubt
decrease his mark before the caiua,aign is
over. -.
There is only half second between Ha.
Pointer, 2:O411a, and the championship Of
the world.
Jay-Eye-see, 2:06z(, is Is years old and
never paced until last season. His trottine
record is 2:1O =. G...,..
Flying Jib, 2:o52l, is looked upon as
probable champion this year. At the be
ginning of last season he had no record.
The 5-year-old gray stallion :, Manager

most formidable championship candidate
this year. ~

How Earls' Wives Are Called Countesses.
Verstegan, in his "Vestiges," states:
Before we borrowed the word hon
our we used instead thereof our own
ancient word ear. For noble or gentle
we used ethel. Ethel was sometimes in
composition abridged to ell. So as of ear
ethel, it came to be ear-el, and by
abbreviat;on earl. It is as much as
to say, honour noble or noble Of
honour" Earl is the only title OF
nobility derived from the Anglo-Saxon,
for though William the Conqueror first
made hereditary earls they were to be
called counts. The ancient title, how
ever, holds it's position to the present,
and in acknowledgment of the Norman.
French the wives of earls are called

Opinion In the Southern Egg Case.
/ WASHINGTON, April 12.-The inter-
state commerce commission in an opin-
ion by Commissioner McDill, announced
its decision of the case of Charles ii.
Brownell against the Columbus & Gin
cinnati Railroad company in favor of
the defendant. Upon complaint al
leging unjust discrimination against
carload shippers of eggs in
favor of shippers in less than car loads,
it appeared that under the ''official
classification" eggs take second-class
rates for car loads or less quantities;
that the commodity is carried in re-
frigerator ears; that for carload ship
ments, ice to the amount of 5000
pounds is furnished by the carrier
without extra charges; that less than
carload shipments are taken from To-
cal stations in pickup cars to dis
tributing points and forwarded in car
loads to New York and other large
markets: that Notwithstanding the
special facilities afforded to small ship
ments by the carriers, the large dealers
control SO per cent. of the traffic.
Held, that no unjust discrimination
results to the carload shipper from the
equal rating of carload and less than
carload lots, and the special service
rendered in gathering and forwarding
small shipments, and the complaints
should therefore be dismissed. Com
missioner Morrison dissented.
