The state republican. (Jefferson City, Mo.) 1871-1896, 1895-08-01

The board OF railroad and ware
house commissioners made an order
IN regard to arbitrary charges fol
the transportation OF passengers AMI
freight across the NJ. X. & T. bridge
at Boonville, which will result in a
net saving to the public of about
800, 600 per year. Grinding by the
board: After careful consideration
of the matter, the commissioners are
of the opinion that under the pro-
visions of the laws of this state, Sec
tons 2G93 and 2675, revised statutes
Of Missouri, 1880, any charges on
passengers or freight crossing the
bridge at Boonville, on the line of
the NJ, K. & T. r. r., made in
addition to the regular tariff rates
are illegal. In the Judgment of the
commissioners the rental and main
tenance of the Boonville bridge must
be considered as an expense incident
to the general operation of the NJ,
K. & T. r. R., and paid for, as are
all other such expenses, from the
general earnings. The finding of
the board being that the arbitrary
charges made on passengers and
freights passing over the bridge at
Boonville, Mo-, on the line of the
NJ, X. G. 7. r. R., are illegal, they
therefore order that, taking effect
within ten days after the receipt
hereof by any proper officer of the
said railway company, the charges
referred to be abolished and discon-
| tinued.

The 14th annual Christian En-
deavor convention, held in Boston,
has closed. The total registration OF
delegates present at the convention
was 56,2G5. More than 500 meet
irgs were held. The convention has
been given marked prominence in
the secular press OF the country,
9th in the rews and editorial col .
umns. The Pew. DR.. Francis E..
Clsrk's annual address az presiden
closed as follows:
Fellowship believe is assured. Never
again will the hosts OF God be divided
into warning factions as in the past.
Never again will churches BE- multiplied,
as often as in the past, only to struggle
and die, or, worse still, to live to perpetu-
ate sectarian rivalry. Never again will
united wickedness triumph becau ,e Chris
tians are divided. Never again will the
devil laugh because Christians are buster
lighting each other than they are fighting
him. Then let US enlarge our boun-
daries, Christian Endeavorers, not for the
sake of the organization, but for the
sake OF the Kingdom. Let us enlarge our
fellowship for no selfish motive, but
because the God-given successes OF the
past show that enlargement means the
spread OF the intense devotional idea for
which Christian Endeavor stands, be-
cause 1t means civic purity, missionary
extension--the world for Christ. Let us
enlarge our fellowship because thereby
we are answering our Lords prayer
"that they all may be one"
At the closing session the follow
Ing platform and principles of ths
society were approved by the unani'
nous voice Of the convention:
We reaiiirm our adherence to the prin
ciples which, under Gods blessing, hav'
made the Christian Endeavor movemen

First and foremost Personal devotion
to our divine Lord and Saviour, Jesu

THE COFFEE CUP.
Something OF the History OF This Com
. mon UtensiI.

Something OF the History OF This Com
mon UtensiI.
Historically speaking the cup-in the
sense of tea or coffee cup-is the young
est member of the European ceramic
family, and it's form cannot be traced
back to classic antiquity, says Home
and Country. A well-known writer
refers to the ancient Greek kyathos as
the probable ancestor of our present
cup.
Although the kyathos had single
handle it was used as a pitcher and
not to drink directly from. Eyen after
the introduction of tea into Europe
had become general-that is, during
the latter half of the seventeenth CEN
tury-tea cups were scarce. Almost
simultaneously coffee gained foot
hold in Europe, having probably been
introduced from Abyssinia, Asia Minor
and Arabia. Still, apart from Con-
stantinople, the first coffee cupss in
Europe date only as far back as 1915
in Venice, 1869 in Paris, 1862 in London
and 1904 in Leipsic. From the very
first, however, the conventional ORR
entail coffee cup, without stand or
handle, was but little used, and in
Germany not at all. On the other
hand, the Chinese tea cup was used not
only for coffee and tea, but for choco-
late as we'll.
Undoubtedly specimens of porcelain
were introduced into Europe during
the middle ages. Yet these were not
imported in a very great quantity from
China until after 1913. Even then
they came first as articles of vertu,
and it was not until later that they
were used to drink from. The most
prominent of these were cups. Many
of the specimens, however, found their
way back to the middle kingdom again.
The penchant for collecting old
porcelain is far more universal in China
than with us, and better price is paid
for it.
The collection of Chinese porcelains,
if it is intended to be only of the gen
uine kind, requires an immense amount
of study and experience, for the Chi
nese are admirable Imitators, and there
are falsifcations innumerable in the
market.

EDISON'S ADVENTURE.
How the Great Inventor Saved the LIfo
of Child.

How the Great Inventor Saved the Life
of n Child.
The authors of ''The Life and Inven-
tions of Edison" tell good story of the
manner i'll which their hero once saved
the life of a child at the risk of his own.
He was then the newsboy of train
running between Port Huron and De-
troit The station agent at Mount
Clemens had boy year and a-half
old, with whom Edison-"Al," as he
was callcd-was fond of playing during
the half hour or more that the train
stopped at that station.
On summer forenoon, while the train
was being taken apart and made up
anew, car was uncoupled and sent
down the track with no brakeman to
control it. Edison, who had been look
ing at the fowls in the poultry yard,
turned just in time to see little Jimmie
on the main track, throwing pebbles
over his head, utterly unconscious of
danger.
AL dropped his papers upon the plat
form, seized the child in his arms, and
threw himself off the track, face down
ward, in sharp, fresh gravel ballast,
without a second to spare. AS it was,
the wheel of the car struck the heel OF
his boot.
II was in the ticket Office" says the
child's father, "and, hearing n shrek,
ran out In time to see the train hands
bringing the two boys to the plat
form"
Having no other way Of showing his
gratitude, the agent said:
'Al, II you will stop off here four
days in the week, and keep Jimmie out
of harms way until the mixed train re-
turns from Detroit, will teach you
telegraphing."
"Will you2" said Edison.
81 will"
He extended his hand and said: "Its
bargain" and SO Edison became q
telegrapher.

They Answered Too Readily.

An amusing incident occurred
at the close OF Sam Jones sermon
: at Pulaski the other day. Step
ping down from the pulpit, folding
his hands across his breast, and
looking solemnly over the audience
the great revivalist said:
"I want all the women in this
crowd who have not spoken a harsh
word--harbored an unkind thought
toward their husbands for month
past, to stand up"
One old woman, apparently on
the shady side Of sixty, stood up.
aCome forward and give me:
your hAnd," said the preacher.
The woman did SO, whereupon
Jones said:
.sNow turns round and let this
r. r
audience see the best looking wo-
man in the country"
SHOW want all the men In this
crowd who have not spoken hard
word, or harbored an unkind tho't
toward their wives for month to
stand up.
Twenty-seven great big strap
ping fellows hopped out of the au-
dience with all the alacrity of
champaign corks.
ssCome forward and give me
your hands, my dear boys"
Jones gave each one of them a
hearty shake, after which he rang
ed all of them side by side in front
of the pulpit and facing the audi
ence. He looked them over care
fully and .solemnly, and then turn
ing around TO the audience, he
said:
