Schroeder was born at No. IS Liberty
street, Cincinnati, thirty years ago. His
father. for whom he was named was a
tailor doing II prosperous business. He
had sister two years younger, and the
poor fellow often told the hospital
nurses with tears OF the days when he
and the little girl played together.

Schroeder called them to the gate-an
unusual thing for him to get home from
the shop so soon--and said they both
were to go with him. The children
were just about to leave the yard when

and went into the house but the father

THE FOREIGN RAILWAYS

The interstate commerce commission
has reported the results of its investiga-
ton into the comparison of state and
corporate ownership of railways in for
eign countries. The synopses sent out
i'll the news reports are very meager.
and give little valuable information.
The complete report will doubtless
supply this want, and furnish basis for
intelligent comment. One would like
to have, for instance, the result of the
experiment of the hungarian zone sys-
TEN of government roads. In the CON-
| parisOn OF rates for passenger traffic
here and in England the conclusion
might be drawn that the rates are high
| er there than here, where the distinc-
ton of classes has long since been
dropped. the only point of resemblance
to the English method being in the use
of the Pullman or Wagner cars, for
which the traveller using them pays
extra, and the charge tor which is not
included in the totals making our aver
age passenger rate of 2. 12 cents a mile.
The average rate for first class in En-.
gland is given at 4.42 cents a mile: of
cSCoHA-Siuoo uI ID W. anu SAOl tutlu-CldSS
at 1.94 cents mile.
The old third-class service of the
English roads was about the equivalent
of our mixed freight and passenger
trains still run on some branch lines
having little traffic of freight or passen-
gers. but within recent years there has
been change there which practically
abolishes the second-class service by
merging the thlrd-class in 1t. The
Midland was the first to adopt the plan
and the gain in travel was immediate
and immense. The gain TO the railway
company was not alone in the increase
of travel, but In the greater earning
capacity of the second over the first
class cars. The former have a carrying
capacity of six to the compartment,
while the latter have ten; the former
carrying fifty and the latter twenty-four
passengers. When full the third class
car pays As Cd a mile. while the full
first-class car pays the company but IS
mile, while it costs a third more to
build and repair.

the difference in the lengths Of hau |
which, in this country, where the prod.
uctsof tho continent are carried across it,
tends to reduce the average of all. A more
accurate comparison would be one be-
tween their rates and our way rates,
emitting the interstate or at least the
transcontinental freights. But while the
question of government ownership
either of the roadwayS or the entire
system is largelt matter of pure bust
ness. there are larger questions involved
III 1t than mere matters of cost of opera
ton injected into the problem in this
country by the railways themselves by
their persistent interference in legisla-
ton and the politics of the country.
Practically, by seeking to control legis-
lation, and by their success in it, they
have male their roads government
roads, and if the people are coming to
believe that the further step of transfer
of management to the government is
but logical one, the railways have
themselves only to thank for it.

WHEAT TOUCHES BEDROCK.
New Low Record for the Cereal
Made Y esterday.

New YORK. Sept. 20.-The feature of
the wheat market today was the break
ing of the December option to new
low record-5S% cents. The previous
lowest price for this season was 5935
cents. made late in July. and it was
believed then that this figure would not
be broken at least this year, and yet
two months after wheat is as weak as
ever. Local traders were nearly all
bears. When corn was booming at the
rate of five and seven cents day some
lineage onG crop scare, wheat followed
along leisurely with advances of
one Or possibly two cents: but. now
that cora is going down, wheat Is a
close second, and while corn is good
way from the bottom. wheat has broken
through. A singular feature of the
situation is that Europe has been a
steady buyer of American wheat all the
week, her purchases aggregating 3rob-
ably million and q half bushels. To say
nothing of the million bushels gObbled
up in New York since Monday by
milling concerns. This ought to have
sent wheat sky-reeketiRg. and yet the
market has ignored it completely and is
groyeliHg at record prices. Lots of
wheat bought by local parties and out.
Siders for Investment Oh the recent adj
vance have been coming out OH the
break, and the bears hammer the mar
ket vigorously to bring out more long
stuff, claiming that wheat feeding to
cattle and hogs will not absorb more
than 25,G00.000 bushels. and that the
corn crop will be much larger than the
govelnmt hi estimate.
