ROADS ARE WITHDRAWING.
Disruption of Passenger and
Freight Associations-Ra
Not Yet Affected.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 24.-As further
result of the United States Supreme
court decision in the Trans-M Missouri
Freight association case, the entire Bur
lngton system today gave formal notice
of withdrawal from both the Western
Freight association and the Western Pas
senger association. Notice of withdrawal
from all the subordinate bureaus of those
two association was also given.
1t is regarded as almost certain that
this action on the part of the Burling-
ton road, coming after the withdrawal
yesterday of the Santa Fe system, will
be followed at once by nearly all the
Western roads. The Rock Island and
Milwaukee and st. Paul roads are ex-
pected to withdraw before night. This,
of course means the disruption of the
association, but does not mean a de-
moralization frates. In fact the Burling
ton has appointed Chairman Caldwell of
the Western Passenger association to
handle it's mileage tickets and to issue
cergymens permits, which is regarded
as a first step toward a reorganization
of the Western Passenger association.
although necessarily on different lines.
New York, March 24.-Notice of with
drawal from various traffic associations
by some of the Southwestern roads, on
account of the ruling of the Supreme
ly weakened those groups of stocks and
accentuated the depression in the general
market This subject is the sole topic of
discussion in the street.
A denial in the stock exchange of the
rumors of wholesale disruption of freight
and passenger associations of the coun-
try had effect of imparting considerable
firmness to the market and induced ex
tensive covering by the shorts and mod
crate purchases for the long accounts
during the final hour. Advances were
shown also in the prominent railways
shares, notably in Omaha, Rock Island
and North Western.
Philadelphia. Pa, March 24.-Railway
lawyers in this city do not share the pre-
vailing impression that the decision of
the United States Supreme court in the
case of the Trans-Mi ssouri Freight asso-
citation settled the question of the legal
ity of the Joint Traffic association and
will compel its dissolution.
Several railroad lawyers who have fol-
lowed the cases of both the TRANSMITS
souri, and the Joint Traffic association,
while admitting that the decision as re-
ported seems to be that the TRANSMITS
souri, association violated the trust law
and that the case was decided on its mer
it's. that the Joint Traffic association is
another matter involving another agree
ment which will have to be passed upon.

ETHICS OF THE TABLE.
A Few Valuable Hints Suggested by Some
"Donts From "a Frenchman."


"Don'ts From a Frenchman."
Ii is a pity the morning paper that
published the "donts from a French
man was SO thoughtess as not to tell
US the Frenchmans name. 1t may have
been Rochefoucauld or Fontaine or
Francis de Sales or Anna Gould's hus-
band. AT all events, whoever he was,
he is entitled TO respectful considera-
ton. and we hope our contemporary
readers will profit by the advice. Any
man who crosses his knife and fork at
the table is too fidgety to be received in
really first class society, while he who
swallows his peas with his meat is hope
lessly damned. AS 10 the propriety Of
eating sugar with salad" there are
conflicting opinions. Some people pre-
fer genuine maple strip, and others stick
to plain New Orleans molasses. Down
in st. Louis it is the custom-perhaps
an old French custom-to sprinkle pow
dered sugar over lettuce leaves in place
of mayonnaise or the ordinary French
dressing, though we believe that this
palatable compound is now confined to
the CHEEKY and unconventional gather
ing of the family circle.
The trouble with majority Of Amer
leans is that they do not know how to
eat, and when a Frenchman comes
along and sees a family with butter on
the dinner table he is pained-not mere
ly because at such times butter is excess
sively vulgar, but because it is expen-
sive. We are glad that our Gallo friend
has had the courage 10 speak right out,
and we hope his advice Will be rigidly
followed, particularly with respect to
the Injunction mot to use the same fork
for more than one COURSE" Theiman or
woman who would stick into ice cream
the fork that has been used for the dis
section of fish necessarily loses much of
the delicacy Of the flavor of the cream
and commits a solecism which even the
dishwasher in the kitchen, though re-
lieved of measure of labor, regards
with scorn.-Chicago Post.

Misplaced Economy.

There is certainly such a thing as an
eXaggeration of economy and a mis-
placement of effort, as i'm the case of the
genius who advises making court plas-
ter at home out of tightly stretched
black silk and gum arabic or the one
who gives us a long formula for the
compromising of a glue to mend china.
An investment of a dime around the
corner from anywhere procures sup
ply of either commodity that will last
year Such thrift is like that of the
woman who bought 8 cents worth of
sugar OF lead to set the dye in SOME
calico. She used half, and her economy
would not permit her to throw the rest
away Instead she tucked it under the
edge OF carpet, where she thought 1t
would be safe. and forgot all about It.
Later she lefi home on a visit She
had been awTv only a day when in
thinking. as women will, of the impossi-
bic things she could worry over she
suddenly remembered the poison. and
at once found ii very good and ration
al cause for anxiety. How easy for one
of the children to find 1t in one of those
poking moods which at any moment
may attack a child! IT was at night
that the vexing thought came. and she
was sleepless till morning arrived and
with 1t the opportunity to send warn
Ing dispatch. As mere financial trans
action 1t was not profitable, for the dis
patch cost her 30 cents. There was the
sleepless night to reckon too. - New
York Post
