The POpulor Woman.
Philadelphia Times. 4

Philadelphia Times.
The popular woman need not care wheth-
er she is pretty or ugly. She need not
query whether she is brilliant or stupid.
but simply revel in the fact that everybody
likes her whether she likes them or not.
And that Is the secret Of this extraordinary
popularity. She does not try for it. for IL
she did the effort would be discovered and
her object at once shattered into the
smallest of atoms.
No, the popular woman is so because she
cannot help it. Nature has endowed her
with an amount of personal magnetism
that attracts people to her without the
slightest volition of her own, and once thus
attracted they swear by her, come what
VIII. whether she be kind to them or in
feminine style known to the willful woman.
From observation one would say that the
popular woman is the one who smiles as
pleasantly upon the elevator boy as upon
vator is run. The smiles are not studied;
they come spontaneously. 1t is just as
easy for the popular woman to be kind as
to be cross, therefore, some one VIII say IL
is not TO her credit to be popular, and no
more 1T Is. Nature has made her so. Her
own sweet sunny temperament gamers
friends as certainly as molasses attracts
flies.
1t is all nonsense to give a woman ad-
vice how to be popular. Unless her own
inner nature is such that it calls all the
world friend there is no earthly use in en-
deavoring to smooth off the rough edges

much to the woman who possesses it. Pop
ularity is a gift, a rare one, ii is true, and
one that once owned cannot, like other
treasures, be lost, for owning it honestly

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal.
I was delighted to-day TO note your re-
publication OF one of the few immortal
speeches. The Westminster Review, in
publishing that address, thirty years ago.
declared that it was unsurpassed in the
English tongue. However. you mistake by
inserting two words hat Mr. Lincoln did
not use. In his opening sentence he fol-
lowed strictly the Language of the declare,
equal. Those who repeat our charter Of
freedom generally say. sal men are. Gre
ated free and equal b Is not correct
thor of the Declaration did not say that all
men are created free. for that would have
been a sheer contradiction of existing con-
ditions throughout the greater part of the
world lie spoke on the line Of a funda-
mental principle. simply declaring that all
men are created equal. That signifies that
every man has the right In virtue of his
birth into human society to be the equal OF
every other. Mr.. Lincoln. at Gettysburg.

NEW EAST-END CHURCH.
Talk of Securing Rev. DIR. Lucas for
the Passionate.

The Rural-street Sunday school,, which
was established a short time ago. has be-
come so promising a factor in religious
work in the East End that steps are on
foot to build a church OF the Christian de-
nomination. H. H. Beville has donated a
lot on East Washington street and has
undertaken to raise 500 in addition TO this
towards a building fund. George Fate is one
or those at the head of the Sunday school
movement.
There has been considerable talk of Sc
curing Hev. DIR. Lucas as the pastor for
the new church, as the people interested in
the movement believe there is an extensive
neid for church work in the East End,
which has built up so rapidly in the last
few years. There is a healthy religious
movement in several of the suburbs and
EFFORTS are being made to found churches.
Residents of Lincoln Park believe they will
have a new structure within a compare
lively short time.

Since the introduction of Cod

of patients has increased from
two to eight years. The num-

that consumption can almost al
ways be averted if good care and
treatment are begun in time.

THE RATE CUT IN TWO.
CAUSE OF THE WAR BETWEEN
CHICAGo-sT. LOUIS RAILWAYS.
Wipe Ont the ScaIpers-Earn-
ings and Wages.

The roads carrying passengers between
Chicago and st. Louis are INDUCING in a
rate war and ave cut the rate TO 81 each
way, just one-half the regular rate. This
time the war is not so much between the
roads as between the roads and the scalp
ers. In speaking Of the reduction General
Passenger Agent Charlton, Of the Chicago
& Alton, said that it was an amlcable move
on the part Of the Alton, the Illinois Cen
trail and the Wabash roads to head off the
manipulation Of what are known as Dunk
ard tickets between the two cities named.
The annual meeting of the Dunkards Is
now being held at Decatur, ILL.,, where
some twenty thousand Of that sect are en-
camped. In accordance with the custom
which has obtained for several years the
railroads. named a rate OF one fare for the
round trip. These tickets can be pur-
chased by any one, require no signature,
are good for the going journey until June
and to-day their offices in Chicago and St.
Louis are stocked with Dunkard tickets
reading from Chicago to Decatur and re-
turn. The sum of the fares from Chicago
TO Decatur and the latter city to st. Louis
Is IS, and by a combination of the two tick
rate between Chicago and st. Louis via
Decatur of $50 and have a comfortable
profit left.
h general managers of the Western
lines who. for two days past, in Chicago.
have been considering matters relating TO
freight traffic, turned their attention yes
terday to the demoraliZed conditions under
which the Western lines passenger associa-
ton has been laboring for the last six
months. 1t was decided to adopt the plan
suggested by Vice President Newman, of
the Chicago & Northwestern, which pro-
vides for an association having jurisdiction
over the lines between Chicago and the
Missouri river, one for the territory west of
the Missouri river and one for the lines in
Texas and the Southwest. No date was set
for any Of the meetings, but 1t was decided
that the association governing the territory
east of the Missouri river should be formed
first. Chairman Caldwell will within a day
or two receive instructions as to when the
meeting shall be called. The executive Of
ficers took no further action in the passen-
ger business, and did not discuss the form
of agreement under which they wished the
lines to operate. The plan outlined by Mr..
Newman provides, however, that If the
three associations are formed they shall all
be under the control of Chairman Caldwell.
This line of action outlined for the Western
roads will make no difference to the trans
continental lines, who will go ahead with
the organization of their passenger associa-
ton, but a number Of them are now in IA
vor OF waiting until they see what the
Western roads will do. After getting the
passenger affairs out of the way the meet
ing took up freight matters again, but be-
cause of an early adjournment on account
of Memorial day they accomplished moth
