The entire matter OF bridge tolls was
fruitful source OF discussion yester-
day, and there is no question but that
the excitement on the Island is high.
A number OF people have given up
houses over there, and real estate
agents are complaining that IL is useless
10 talk about renting Island property
as long "a the toll question Is iE
the shape IL is. One man said yester-
day he lost the sale of n So, 500
eouse through the change in the rates
OF toll, and there is a general hub-bub
and kick about the matter, which seems
10 grow worse instead OF better. A
number OF men are seriously consider
ing the starting OF a ferry on large
scale, from the Island to Ohio street,
and last evening they were casting
about for bOst, to be run at the rate
OF hfLy cents month for families.

STOCK MARKET BUOYANT.

NEW YORK, JAM I9-With the exception of
a brief period during the forenoon, when a
slight reactionary movement was manlpu-
lated, this was a bull day on the Stock ex-
change.
The great factor in the market was the sue
cess attending the placing of the new govern
ment loan. The avidity with which capital
seeks to absorb the loan at figures above mini
mum, testifies to the good credit Of the gov
crnment at home among people who are best
qualified to judge the situation correctly This
is the Wow of the Stock exchange operators
and the short interest, who devoted today to
covering their outstanding contracts, betlev-
ing that the conditions are lot favorable to
bear campaign.
The upward movement reached its height In
the last half of the afternoon, and the final
dealings were quite marked, the highest prices
of the day prevailing at the close, which Ead
a strong tone and was approaching to buoy
sncy. The advances ranged from "a per cent
to "a per cent.
rumor from London to the effect that a
receiver probable in the Norfolk and
Western sent the preferred stock down 25s per
cent. 1t is said here. that the company Is in
good financial condition.

A RATE WAR THREATENED,

- MA e WAN ClNCO.
KANSAS CITY, Jan. ia general. de-
moralizatiou Of Colorado east-bound rates
is threatened, and Secretary Mccullough
of tie transmisscuri passenger committee
today issued call for the general passen-
ger agents of the lines interested to meet
at Kansas City on next Monday, in order
to adjust affairs before they have gone too
far. Colorado rates have been somewhat
troublesome for some time The action of
one or two transcontinental lines in with
drawing from the association has made il
very difficult to adjust the consequent dill
ference. For several weeks it has been
known the brokers of Denver practically
have been making the rate to certain Mis-
souri, river points, and there is danger that
the Denver agents may meet the reduc-
tion over their counters, if something be
not done for raJifying the matter.
According to the present rate sheet, the
rate from Colorado common points to ST.
Joseph. for example. is the same via Kan
sas City as is The rate TO Kansas City.
This fact seems to be so we'll advertised by
the Denver brokers that many ticket pur-
chasers have gone TO the brokers for their
Kansas City tickets, knowing that they
could get 2 reduction equal to part of the
value Of the coupon reading from Kansas
City to st. Joseph. which coupon could
be disposed OF IN Kansas City. What ap-
plies to ST. Joseph applies also to inter
mediate points-Leavenworth Atchison
and other points similarly related to Kan
sas City.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 10 The Southwestern
Traffic association today reached an agree
ment to apply from Houston and Gal
weston, and Sugarland, Tex, on sugar,
the same rates made effective from New
Orleans 20 Mississippi and Missouri river
points to Kansas points, and, further.
agreed that the rates established on sugar
should be made to apply on molasses in
car loads. The following articles hereto
fore carried at commodity rates were re-
stored to the basis established in the west
ern classification: Hides. glue stock, hair,
grease, wool, lead and silver ore
CHICAGO, Jan. 19-An important de-
cision was made today by the chairman of
the Western Passenger association, in re-
gard to local passenger associations
throughout this territory. The decision is
to the effect that mem bership in local asso-
Citations is not optional with members Of
the general association. All association
roads are bound the terms of the general
agreement to observe tbs requirements of
the local agreements, and to be members
of the local association. The support of
all local associations organized under the
terms of the general agreement is incum-
bent upon all association members.

a COAL END.

SALTWATER, .. T., Jan. 49, Especial
The prospecting party sent out by the
directors Of the Kansas, Oklahoma Cen
trail and Southwestern railway returned
last night from trip over the proposed
line to the northwest through the Pawnee
reservation. The party located a large
field of coal, which the members are tax
ing steps to lease. The vein at the crop
ping is within few inches of four feet,
with sand stone roof" of six to ten feet.
The new gold fields east of here, which
have been creating much excitement, are
now believed to lie mostly within the
Creek country. Miners and prospectors
are being driven out and if"the excitement
continues the troops will be called. A
part of the supposed gold field lies within
the extreme eastern portion of the strip In
the country heretofore known rs the
''E'iat-iron."
The work on the new agricultural and
mechanical college building is again
stopped. The city OF Saltwater. under the
act locating this institution here, voted
$4,000 in city bonds to be used in the con-
struction of the building. In order to
float the bonds at par the citizens paid
cash premium Of e. 001. The legislature
last winter appropriated $4,000 additional
to be used in the construction of the COL
lege building. The money furnished from
the sale of the city bonds has all been ex-
pended, but the territorial appropriation
yet remains in the territorial treasury.
For some inexplicable reason the COVER
nor, who is ex-officio a member of the
board of regents, refuses to allow this
fund to be used, and the contractors esti-
mates not being paid, he has been COM
PEELED to stop the work. Mean while the
college has abou $50 students, and churches
and vacant buildings are being utilized as
class rooms Governor Renfrow is being
severely criticised by all parties interested

Diving Below the Surface In the 0uessics

Diving Below the Surface In the 0uessics
of Manners
Lay sermons are preached almost
daily, in private and in the columns OF
the press, on the proper department OF
men and women The present genera
ton is self-conscious, or why IS there q
necessity for such sermons? Are we
aware of the thinness of the varnish
that covers the old Adam? Do we try
to conceal selishness by pratirg con-
tinually about the right thing to do in
the social walk of life?
Without moralixing further on this
subject, il may be admitted that these
sermons are often entertaining. II is
pleasant for instance, to read sym
postum concerning the duty OF n man
when he meets servant of his family
in street car, whether he should
take off his hat. whether he should
offer to pay her fare, whether he should
give her his place and other questions
that occur to the idle who write letters
to newspapers
Here, for instance, is an episode in
everyday life which is discussed sol
emnly in an English newspaper: AN
American lady who had been long in
London, but whose husband occupies
an important post in our capital, was
shopping in Oxford street when it came
on to rain very fast" Let us stop for
a moment to consider how delightfully."-
English this is As if it made any diff
ference whether the husband of the
lady occupied An important post or was
one OF a excursion party doing London
and the suburbs in four days She
hailed passing omnibus
'The rain was coming down in tor
rents, and the omnibus was full of men
inside, not one of whom moved The
American lady was meanwhile wait
ing on the footboard. The conductor
thinking she had mistaken her bus
asked where she was going. Where
upon she turned round and, looking
into the omnibus, she replied: 4 guess
I'm going inside when one Of these
gentlemen gets out" The writer
adds that the rebuke had the desired
effect, and the story is told as an in
stance of 1.-The decadence of mems man
ners at the present day"
Now it is improba BILE that the woman
used the phrase, Il guess" in this con-
nection. but let it pass. The English
man regarded the phrase as touch of
local color. an affidavit TO the reality
of the occurrence The question is,
should any one Of the male passengers
have given mp his seat and exposed
himself to the rain? Does place aux
danes" apply imperatively here? In
the first place it is not in evidence that
the American was obliged to take that
particular omnibus. She knew it was
full when she hailed it, If her hus-
band held IAN important post she un-
doubtedlv had money enough for a
cab, and cabs are cheap and plentiful;
in London. She might have waited
for another omnibus, for an omnibus
in London is not like an oasis in the
desert. No; like the child in the story
she wanted her doughnut, and she
wanted it now" That by insisting
on an alleged privilege of her sex she
might cause extreme discomfort or pos
siblv serious illness to an unoffending
man was as nothing in her eyes We
spoke a moment ago of the teller OF
the story as an Englishman: it is be-
yond peradventure woman and a
strong believer in her rights -Boston
journal.
