CANNOT COMPETE.
Central Traffic Association Gives West
ern Lines Hard Terms.

CHICAGO Oct I6.-Whe the lines of the
Central Traffic association informed the
Chicago and ST. Paul lines that they
would not allow the latter lines to put in
via Chicago the same rates as the 500
line is making to the Atlantic seaboard
they put rider on their refusal in the
shape of permission to the western lines
to make the rates by way of Chicago and
Montreal This would compel the west
ern lines to bring the business from Min
neapolis and st. Paul and Chicago and to
carry it east 10 Montreal, trip at least
twelve hours longer than that over the
500 line.
The western lines might have some
chance for the business If they were al
lowed to put in rate less than the 500
of So, but As matters stand the western
lines will be compelled TO see the busi ness
go by way of the 500 line. They will not
attempt to meet the rate via Montreal and
would get none of the business if they did.
The Wabash has announced that it will
meet the cheap rates made by the Illinois
Central from Chicago TO Memphis, Green
vile, Baton Rouge. and New Orleans. The
Rock Island, which seems to have consld-
era bic trouble with the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas over rates to Texas points, has
announced that it will make the same
rates to Waco. Tex, as are made by the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas by the addi-
ton of double rates through their northern
gateways, Hannibal, st. Louis and Kansas
City. The tickets will have final return
limit of December 1.
Earnings of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul for the second week in October

1t is gratifying to every one VINO takes any
interest in the Indians to see the progress
they have made in all kinds of handiwork,
and the delight they exhibit at the admir-
alton the whites manifest when seinG In
dian school children display work in draw

aged Indians show the finest of Indian
needle work in beads and buckskin.
There are now 2. coo Indians in the Tepees
camped at the fair grounds, all displaying
n keen delight in the sport. This assem-
blage of whites and Indians can only re-
suit in the establishment of more friendly
relations between the races.
The fair will continue three more days.
The territory and the adjoining states
have some of the finest trettiEg and rum

Canon BowIes, Weakness

Lady Lansdowne had both humor and
intellect. No one enjoyed Bowles' good
stories more than she did, judging from
all we gather Of those pleasant days
There were occasions when she is said to
have roasted her dear old friend the
canon. He became very absentminded and
nervous in his later years and was always
singularly alarmed by thunder and light
ming. l have been told that when wild
over he was once staying at Bowood when
terrific storm came on shortly after the
guests had retired for the night Lady
Iansdowne was startled by hearing his
bell ringing violently while she was I'M
dressing, and she ut once sent her own
maid to see what was wrong After tap
ping at the door the young woman was
admitted and said:
Mr. Bowles, her ladyship has sent me
TO see what IS the matter. Is there any
thing l can do for you, sir?"
''Oh, yes, said the old gentleman in
state Of abject terror. I'm give you a
guinea if you'll stop here and sleep in the
room
The maid went back. laughing. TO her
mistress, TO whom she told what had oc-
CURED, and at breakfast the next morning
Lady Lansdowne chaffed the good canon

one present--Nrs. Crosse in Temple Bar.

of the A. p. A. says:
~ do not think these associations, which
so ostracise the Catholics from every posi-
ton of profit and honor, constitute a per-
msnent or serious danger.
Like theKnow Nothing movement, they
are founded on ignorance aud prejudices
which will be dispelled and they Will pass
away. They will have beneficial effect
in this way, that they make Catholics
more Jealous of the defence OF their faith
but such movements also indicate the ne
cessity on our part of being prudent and
moderate and of avoiding the danger
which everything which appeals 10 sectar-
