LOCAL TRAFFIC GOOD
pLD-TIME ACTIVITY ABOUT INDIAN
APoLIs FREIGHT DEPoTs.
Slight Increase in the Number or Lo-
cipline OF Railway Employes.

The train records show that in the week
ending April 13 there were received and for
Marded at Indianapolis 17.719 loaded cars,
which was an increase of 1903 over the num-
ber handled in the week ending April i6:
compared with the corresponding week of
1884 the exhibit of this year is still more
favorable. ZOOS more loaded cars being
handled this year. With freight men there
is general satisfaction -over the volume of
freight moving. but dissatisfaction that
through business, east-bound, is carried at
80 low rates. While Indianapolis lines
have not cut rates to the extent that Chi
cago roads have, it is well known that
much of the east-bound through business
is being carried at rates which leave but
little margin above actual cost of carry
ing the business. The presidents and gem
eral managers have ordered an advance in
east-bound rates April 2. and their main
fenance thereafter, and never before have
these officials acted with so much unan-
Unity and frmness. and a feeling prevails
with freight men that there is more mean
hng to instructions sent than has attended
any former effort in this direction. West
bound business is still heavy, and. consid-
erably in excess of the volume at the cor
responding period last year. In the higher
CLASS freights, such dry goods and mill
Lnery, shipments west are not as heavy
as in March of this year, while in the lower
CLASS freights there has been considerable
increase in tonnage, which is looked upon
by freight men as evidence of an improve
1nent in manufacturing interests. Train
leads of glass, nails. wire water and gas
main pipes are daily passing over the Belt
road or standing in yards at this point
The starting up of car works in the North
ern States is helping the north-and-south
roads, the products of the Southern
pineries coming north by trainloads Trans
continental line business in both directions
IS heavy beyond precedent. Local business
is rapidly reaching the good times volume,
and about the city freight depots and load
ing and unloading yards there is more ac-
tyity than has been known for months.
Below is given the car movement for the
weeks ending April and April Is and the
corresponding Week last year.

WOMEN IN THE LEGISLATURES.
Tbe Colorado Experiment Has Not
Been Much of u Success.

chicago lriDune.
The woman suffrage experiment in Colo
rado seems to be largely in the nature or
a fad and the first to begin to get tired
Of the fad are the women themselves.
Apparently they have extracted All the
amusement there is out of the fad, ana now,
with the proverbial fickienesS OF the sex,
they are hunting for some new ana fresn
one 1t will be sad news for the leaders
of the suffrage movement, the. indifference
and languid zeal displayed by the talr an
members of the rank and HE. Al the
recent municipal erection in Denver very
few women had interest enough 10 turn
out and vote. The ballot had lost It's chafm.
There was exciting or emotlonal issue
that Appealed TO them. The attraction at
the polls was as nothing compared with
that of a window filled with Easter bon
complexion. 1t evidently needs something
chic, emotional. or picturesque 10 Keep
up the female interest. and there is MOTH
ing either chic or picturesque in an Aus
tralian ballot or a stuffy little booth.
There is also widespread complaint about
the three women who were members OF
the House which recently dissolved by
are to be believed they knew very little
about the measures that were introduced
and the men tired themselves out trying
to make them understand them. The only
bills for which lthey had any sympathy
apparently were those which pertained
to their own sex. As to committee work
they plainly wouldn't do IT. and even when
born silence. The only occasions when
they asserted themselves were when there
was an opportunity to protest. and as all
their protests were aimed at venerable
and accepted aascnline privileges they
made themselves diHliked For IN

an inveterate gum chewer. whose facial
contortions were just as offensive to the
men as the smoke was 10 the women.
They also protested against long debates and
tried tried to cut off the right 70 free and unlimited
Huency OF speech which is SO dear to the
average legislator. Worse than this, they
had the audacity to make their protests
against displays of temper-the most pre-
cious prerogative of man In any kind of a
deliberative assembly, and rat unknown in
many large gatherings Of ie gentler sex
on more than one momento occasion
The three female legislators of Colorado
evidently were not the three graces in the
opinion of the male legislators. and the
experiment of sending them there not
a success. The men are so exasperated
that they declare If they are forgiven this
time they will never do so again, and now
that the women have tired Of the cleo
ton fad that they do not care to vote to
any considerable extent it will not be
difficult matter to keep lovely woman out
of the legislative halls and leave the men
free to smoke and talk and jaw zach other
TO their hearts content without danger
that one of the dear creatures will rise in
her place and scold them for it.
