That is Accomplishments Benning-
ton Represented.
The convention of hotel men was held
in Montpelier, Wednesday. The meet.
ing was called at D. m. and adjourned
at 8. 45 pm. Out of the 200 hotel keep.
ers in this State there were between 4C
and 50 at this convention. The majority
of those not present are in sympathy
with this movement for forming an as.
sociation for their mutual benefit. NJ.
S. Davis of Montpelier was elected tenn.
porary secretary and Mr.. Ballard of
White River Junction was elected tenn.
porary president.
There was not as much business done
at this meeting as was expected to be
done, because of the non-appearance OF
Mr.. Wallace Waugh of Boston, editor OF
the magazine, THE Hotel" published
in that city. Further business accom-
plished was the election of committee

their joining the association.
Mr.. Doyle, of st. Johnsbury, the prin,
cipal mover in the events leading to the
convention slid that he thought the
present prohibition law was very foolish
and remained on the statutes only be-
cause there had never been any agita
tion in the matter of changing it in the
Legislature by the proper persons
There were no speeches made at the
meeting. 1t is thought that there will
be much larger attendance at the next
meeting which is to be held at White
River Junction, the date being as ye
undetermined.
There was some controversy over thu
nature of the association, whether i
would be secret one with bylaws anC
constitution, or whether without either
having only membership fee.

The war scare in England over the
poets point to peaceful settlement of
the troubles. President Kruger of the
South African Republic, is the man up
on whom the outcome depends. Having
defeated the Jameson raiders, he will
probably rest satisfied, and matters will
assume their normal condition. On the
Continent it is openly charged that the
British Government was aware Of the
preparations for Jameson's raid. Had
the raid been successful, Great Britain,
according to the popular belief in
Europe, would have stepped in and oc.
cupied the country, Ostensibly to pro
tect her subjects, but really to establish
an occupation similar to that in Egypt,
which is tantamount to the annexation
of the country. AS the raid resulted in
most miserable fia>cn the British Gov
errment is accused of attempting to
forestall condemnation by emphatically
denying any prior knowledge of the mat
ter and of taking measures to prevent
the departure of the expedition after it
knew it had departed and had resulted
in failure. Why England should be
come so aroused at the simple congratu-
latory message of the Germany is mys-
terry, unless she had such designs upon
Transvaal. However, there is no reason
to believe that Germany or Transvaal
will go further than they already have,
and if this is the case England will await
some future opportunity for further

LONG HAUL PETITION.
Commerce Commission VIII Take
1t UD Next Month

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25-The inter-
state commerce commission has issued
an order III the matter Of the petition
of the railroad companies doing bust
ness between common points in Colo
RADIO and terminal points in California
for q hearing on the 18th Of Decem-
Der next. The railroads interested in
the petition are the Atchison, Denver
& Rio Grande, Rio Grande Western,
Southern Pacific, Colorado Midland
and Union Pacific. They ask relief
from the fourth section Of the inter-
state commerce act so that they may
be authorized in the transportation Of
like kinds of property to charge less
compensation in the aggregate for the
longer distances between Colorado
common points and California terminal
points than for shorter distances over
the same line, in the same direction,
the shorter being included within the
longer distance"
They represent in this prayer that
competition with water transportation
from Atlantic coast points to the Pa
scif1c markets renders necessary a lower
through rate than they can afford to
make on business which is not carried
entirely through. The companies filing
the petition are also ordered to file
their existing tariffs on through and
local business, together with the
! changes they wish to make in case of
Athe suspension of the law asked.

LIMITED EXPRESS WRECKED.
By a Happy Chance All the Passen
gers Escaped -.

NEW YORK, Nov 25.-Two men
were killed and two others were
severely injured in a double train wreck
on the Pennsylvania railway near New
Brunswick, N. j.. today. The casualty
involved the Washington express for
this city which at the moment was run
ming at the rate Of go miles an hour,
and the marvel is that it did not result
in the death and mangling of scores Of
passengers. This train and a freight
were running on parallel tracks, when
the breaking of truss on one of the
freight cars threw it from it's course
and directly in the way of the express.
The locomotive of the latter train
struck the freight cars and wrecked
eight of them. 1t was overturned and
plunged down an embankment IL feet
high, falling upon and killing En-
gineer Joseph M. Egan and Fireman
HI. w. Chichester. The mail car and
the combination car were also carried
over the embankment, and the first of
the three sleepers stopped at the very
brink of the incline. No passengers
were injured.

MAKING A HORSE JOCKEY.
Must Undergo Torture Before He Is
Fitted to Ride.

Among the many who are interested
in racing, probably but few pay any
thought to the pains and miseries I'M
dergone by that unfortunate although
much envied class Of men, the jockey,
says the British Medical Journal.
Some men-very few-are really born
Jockeys. They are Of that small build
which Is essential to their work, they
are blessed with a constitution which
does not run to fat" and at the same
time they are endowed with the nerve
and resolution necessary for their call
ing. Many lads, however, who, by their
build" give promise of making good
jockieS, are, as they turn to manhood,
cursed with the tendency to lay on
flesh, but having once tasted the ex-
element, and also, it may be, shifted
at the profits Of a Jockeys life, will
not give it up without a struggle. not
w1thStandfng the warning of the scales.
To these the life is one of great mis-
cry, almost torture, from training
down, interspersed, no doubt, with Pc
RODS Of gayety which are almost, if
not quite, as dangerous to health as
those during which the poor fellow has
to do penance in sweating off the eff
fects of his indiscretions. Probably
no criminal to whom hard labor Is
meted out as a punishment undergoes
such labor on such low diet as the
jockey who is wasting" himself so as
to scale with another lucky fellow
whose nature runs less to fat In the
hottest weather he piles on clothes
and takes sharp walks. He labors hard
and the more he sweats the more he
feels he has done his duty Then
comes the muzzle. After the labor
there is appetite; after the sweating
there is thirst-but the food must be
strictly limited, and the drink must
be for naught. The privatdon is hor-
rible. Training for condition is bad
enough and has made many a good
fellow throw athleticism to the dogs.
but training for weight is a far greater
infection. There are so many pounds
to be got off and so many DAYS or
weeks in which to do it. BY physic,
by sweating, by hard labor and by
starvation 1t has got to be done, and
that in certain time
AS an instance of continuous seIf-de-
NAL there are few positions which will
compare with that Of jockey when he
is working himself down % scale. A
man in ordinary condition hardly varies
in weight from Day to day, whatever
he may eat or drink. and many men
leading fairly irregular lives keep their
weight almost without change for
months, and even years. 1t is rot so.

IN A RAILWAY CAR,
Hetty Green's Son Invents a Dust
less Car.

Hetty Green's Son Invents a Dust
less Car.
Artificial rainmaking and the erea-
ton of breezeS while travelling at the
rate Of a mile a minute in a railway
car constitute the latest triumph OF in
ventive genius
The man who has conceived the ap-
paratus by means of which these re-
markab1e results can be brought about
is E. Fl. r. Green, the general manager
of the Texas Midland railroad, and the
son Of Hetty Green, the richest woman
in America
Mr.. Green's clever idea has made 1T
possible for q person to travel in the
warnfest day of summer without suffer
ing in the least from those twin evils
of railroad journeys, dust and heat
The practicability of the idea has been
clearly shown by thorough trial, and
within the past week several cars
equipped with the invention have been
daily running on the Texas Midland
railroad. 1t has been believed that
such a thing as constructing a prac-
tioally dust-proof car was out Of the
question. The new idea shows again
that nothing is impossible, and that
modern inventive genius can accom-
plish almost anything.
Mr.. Green's contrivance is simple and
it's mechanism free from complication.
Between the windows in the car is q
ventilator, so arranged as to be directly
or almost directly beside the passenger.
This ventilator is covered with screen
of exceeding fineness, both inside and
out, and there is an arrangement so
constructed that at the will Of the pas
senger fine spray Of water plays be-
tween the two screens. This water has
as its source a supply contained in a
tank located beneath the car and be-
tween the trucks It is forced up
ward by means Of compressed air.
1t may readily be seen that the screen
will prevent the entrance of cinders
and like particles which have been both
a. menace and a discomfort to the trav-
eler on the railway. At the same time
the water playing between the screen
catches each particle of dust and wash
es it away, thus keeping the air as it
enters the car as fresh and clean as
that in the pine woods at break Of day
The car will be, so far as air Is con-
cerned, in as good condition when
travelling through the alka,li desert as
when passing through a country which
blossoms like the rose.
Each of the Ventilators is three feet
long, and remains open constantly. 1t
is the spraying of the water which the
passenger is able to regulate With
this new idea, in operation 1t Is wholly
unnecessary to open the windows of
the car at ell, as the ventilators cause
a constant change OF cir. AS a matter
Of fact, the air in the car is rendered
much purer by means of Mr.. Green's
invention than it would be if it found
entrance through the windows.

RATE CUTTING CHARGED.
Chicago Roads Accused of Applying
the Knife.

Are the Chicago lines again cutting
rates on transatlantic patronage? The
of other lines that the Chicago roads
are surreptitiously applying the knife.
On Tuesday night the Chicago lines
secured all the business of prospective
passengers aboard Atlantic liners. This
looked suspicious to competing roads.
Last night the same odd fact was
noticed and as none Of the connecting
lines secured a single transatlantic
fare, it was freely stated that another
rate was being cut. One authority
stated that actual cases had come to
light within the past two or three days
In which Chicago line had sold tickets
to Europe via their lines for $3.50 less
than the combined ocean and rail fare.
If the accusation is substantiated,
there will be more trouble.

and that as originally planned these ex-
cursions will go east via St Paul and
Chicago. A few days ago the board OF
managers of the eastern lines refused
to allow members to cooperate with
the Northern Pacific, Great Northern
and the various Chicago-St. Paul lines
in competing with the Canadian Pa
cific, which effectually settled the Ques-
ton. Now it developes that several
lines have made application to the
board of managers to reconsider the
matter, and 1t is believed the request
will be granted. This will allow the
representatives of the various roads to
be present and argue their case. If
this is actually allowed, the interested
lines are confident Of success.

MORE RATE CUTTING IS CHARGED.

On Dec. l there will go into effect
some new transcontinental rates, ap-
plying from Eastern Canadian points
to British Columbia and points on the
American Pacific coast. The rates were
fixed at the meeting Of the transcont-
mental roads which met in the city last
week, and yesterday all lines agreed
to place the new basis in effect Dec. i.
The meeting which fixed the new rates
was a logical sequel to the first trans
continental meeting held last month,
which established new rates Nov. IS.
The latter applied from points on the
Atlantic seaboard in the United States
to British Columbia and North Pacific
points, and the rates which will go into
effect December Will apply to the same
territory from Eastern Canada points.
The rates were fixed by representatives
of the Canadian Pacific, Northern Pa
cifc, Great Northern, Grand Trunk,
and 500 lines. The rates which will
apply from Atlantic and Eastern Can
ada points to North Pacific terminals
Will show a reduction under those now
in effect. The basis is the same as that
applying from Atlantic points in the
nited States. From points east Of the
Detroit river. to and including Montreal,
the following arbitrary rates will be
added to the Chicago rates: First
class. 20 cents; second class, Is cents;
third class, Is cents; fourth class, Ii
cents: fifth class 10 cents; classes from
A to Z, and from to TO- 6 cents will be
added From points east of Montreal
and including Halifax the following ar
bitraries will obtain over the Chicago
rate: First class, 80 cents; second class,
&c cents; third class, 20 cents; fourth
fclasS, Is cents; fifth class, Is cents:
from classes A to E and to 10, 13
GENTS will be added. This basis will
apply with a minimum of rs cents per
LOG pounds from Montreal west, and so
cents east to Montreal, unless the COM
bination of local traffic to Chicago
makes a lower rate. By the terms of
the agree Qent, the Canadian and the
American roads are placed on an equal
footing. The whole status of trans
continental traffic is now very salts
factory. All roads are upon an even
basis. In the first place, the Northern
lines cuE the rate last month for the
purpose Of bringing the Southern Pa
c1fic to time, and to establish the
Northern lines on an equal footing for
competing with the Southern Pacific.
The latter line soon found out that
the Northern lines could carry mer-
chandise to North Pacific points as
cheaply as the Southern Pacific could
to San Francisco and common terri
tory, and it is now acknowledged that
the Southern Pacific was beaten, it
having finally adopted the tariffs of the
Northern lines without change.
