That RIarnev Stnna-

MIR Clark, the collector of customs at
Chicago, has made report to the treas
ury department that is interesting to the
thousands of people who kissed the
"Blamey stone" III the Irish village at
the Chicago fair. According to this re-
port each person who kissed the stone
paid 10 cents, and the number who kissed
it was IS 600
But where did the stone come from?
Was it what it purported to be? BY no
means. When the Irish village
on the Midway Plaisance was
opened, it was found there was
one thing needed TO make it especially at
tractive, and that was "Blarney stone. -
The manager of the village undertook to
supply the need. He secured the services
a Chicago contractor named James Riley.
who on one dark night in June, dug up a
paving stone at the corner of Fifty
seventh street and Portland avenue, Chi
cago, and had it taken to the Irish village
where it was placed in d case that had
that day been received in bond. and
which contained model of THE Bells
of Shandon." The customs inspector
found the stone in the case with the
model and valued it at $500 and collected
duty on it at that valuation.
In this way the impression was given that
the stone had been imported from Ire
land.
The stone was placed in the walls of the
castle and the thousands of people who
paid their dimes and kissed it were Just
as well satisfied as if they
had kissed the genuine ''Blarney
stone."' On the strength of their kisses
many of them believe, probably, that
they are now better able to make
fiattering speeches.
The "Blarney stone" was not, of course,
the only thing that was fake in Midway
Plaisance. The entire Plaisance was a
fake, the biggest the world has ever
known. 1t took from the pockets of the
people who visited the fair not less than
81 ,0OO,0 600.

Che Of the Oldest sea captains who visits

The Southern Railway Association.

The Southern Railway Association.
IL is evident from what Mr.. Smith. the
president of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad, said at the meeting Of Southern
Railway and Steamship Association on
Tuesday, that he is not anxious 70 with
draw from the association, uotwithstand-
ing the announcement OF the withdrawal
of his road which he made recently. And
why should he desire 10 withdraw if the
ASSOCIATION can be made TO accomplish the
object for which it, was organized His
road would gain nothing by Withdrawing.
10 might gain a little business, but the
gain would be at the expense of
the roads revenues. Rates would
be Gu. enormously. Indeed, rate
cutting has been going on ever since the
announcement of the Louisvilleand Nash
ville's withdrawal from the association.
Theouly thing Mr. Smith might gain by the
cut rate policy which he has inaugLrated
is the satisfaction of making the roads
that have violated the rules Of the asso-
citation suffer. At the same time, how
ever. that policy would greatly injure
roads Of the association that have acted
honestly.
No doubt the Louisville and Nashville
has good reason to complain Of the asso-
citation, because it has not forced all the
members of it to comply with its regula-
tons The two of which the Louisville
and Nashville complains have been Sc
cretly cutting rates for nearly year They
have drawn away the Legitimate business
Of the Louisville and Nashville. Ofcourse
no road is going to stand that without
fighting. If the association is to amount
TO anything it must have the power to
find out when its members disobey its
rules and to punish them 50 severely that
they will find it more profitable to be
honest than dishonest.
The members of the association should
be made to understand that they cannot
secretly cut rates while pretending to be
obeying the rules of the association and
insisting that others shall obey them.
Getting business by secret rcbat ties and
rate cutting by members of an association
who have pledged themselves to
deal honestly with each other is so
thoroughly disreputable that it is difficult
TO understand how men who have any re
spect for their regulations for honesty
can engage in it.
This practice of cutting rates and
granting rebates discrepancies business
and makes investors afraid of railroad
securities. A rate war is never beneficial
to thepublic or the roads that engage in
it in the long run. 1t is ruinous to the
roads and hurtful to business interests
that are affected by railroad rates.
1t is a question whether the public as
well as the railroads would not be bene-
flied by the pooling system. That sys-
tenn under the supervision of the inter
state and the state railroad commissioners
would give ample protection to the roads
and to the public. Each road would get
the share Of business legitimately be
longing to it, and there would be no in
centive to inaugurate cut rate wars.

to tell stories of foraging and of eating. A

lates his own exploits as the owner Of a sweet
tooth
When Gen. Hood started on his campaign
into Tennessee, IN the fall OF 1864, the sor-
ghum was gust ripening in Georgia and we
passed daily great fields Of the sweet cane.
We found It delicious to the taste. ana chewed
great quantities of it, swallowing the Juice and
leaving thousands OF dry guilds spit out by the
way.
Steve f. was our cOmmissary sergeant. and
had peculiar advantages for gathering the
sorghum. Every day he fUrllsned me with a
good supply OF stalks and | marched and
