NEW YORK March 1.-THE Board Of
Control of the Joint Traffic Association,
with Chauncey NJ. Depew in the chair
was in session this aftersoon, consider
ing the rate situation. which is demora-
lized throughout the West and East. The

the Southern Pacific lines, which are not
in the association.
A special committee which had con-
ferred with Henry Fink. president or
the Norfolk and Western railroad, report
ed that an arrangement had been
made with him for the restoration or
west-bound rates, after the usual ten
days notice, by the Cumberland Gap
dispatch. The trunk line railroads had
given assurance that they would strict
ly maintain rates. The special commit
tee also reported that Mr.. Fink had
practically agreed that the Norfolk and
Western should become a member OF the
Joint Traffic Association.
The Board of Control decided 10 hold
meetings every two months hereafter.
The next meeting will be held May 18TH.

THE POPULAR IDEA.
But They Are Not All Innocent Mel
Who Go to Siberia

But They Are Not All Innocent Men
Who Go to Siberia.
There is a popular idea that the
wastes OF Siberia are peopled with men
who have been unjustly exiled from
Russia, and that the criminal is really
as difficult to find as the traditional
needle in a bunch of hay. Facts, how
ever, do not substantiate this theory
any more than they do the large ma
jority of popular impressions.
a great sensation was created two or
three years ago by the finding of seven
Russian exiles or prisoners who had
made their escape from Siberia. They
were in an open boat in the Pacific, and
were taken to San Francisco, where
they became the objects of popular COM
miseration, as well as the text for the
denouncing of the Russian methods of
dealing with political offenders.
The Californians, ever ready with
sympathy, gave them clothes and found
them work to do. 1t now appears that
during the interval that has elapsed
between their arrival in San Francisco
and now, every one of them has been
punished. by the law of the land. The
last of the party has just been sentenced
TO 20 years imprisonment for burglary,
while one of his comrades only short
time ago was hanged for two murders
which he had committed.
Investigations which have been made
show that every one of these men had
been sent to Siberia for reasons which
would have earned him corresponding
period of exile from the haunts of his
fellow men, if not absolute deportation
from the country, in any other part of
the world.-London Tit-Bits.

other animal. In many respects it re-
sembles the human brain. With its
master, the dog experiences the
vicissitudes of life. Ceaseless expert
mcnts toward race perfection leading
to many kinds of blood mixtures are
responsible, too, for intensifying the
natural nervousness. The doctor
thinks that Is per cent. of the animals
killed who, on account of queer actions,
are suspected of hydrophobia, die in
noccntly. Like nervous men and wom-
en-, they sometimes become excited. are
cpilcptic, morose, lazy, lose appetite, and
sometimes even turn against, their best
friends. If treated nationally they
might soon recover their usual health
and equanimity.

The United States owns one vessel
that stands by herself, that has no
counterpart in American waters. She
is the Armeria, the lighthouse supply
ship. All the year she is busy carrying
oil to lighthouses on our coast, and not
only oil, but towels, wicks, brushes,
soap, brooms, cutlery, stationery-alI
the things that the government sup
plies 10 lighthouses and their keepers.
The Armeria is big white steamer with
yellow funnel ana uniformed officers,
so that you can tell from afar that she
is government vessel, but she does not
belong to the navy; she is one of the
great fleet controlled by the treasury
department and devoted TO services
that have nothing TO do with war.
There are about $50 light stations on
the Pacific coast and about 2G5 on the
great lakes. Oil is purchased In the
west for the lake stations, but all the
rest are supplied from the government
depot on Staten Island. The oil for
the Pacific coast is sent around the horn
in sailing vessels, and the Armeria car
ries all they need to all the rest of the
United States lighthouses.

days to tenantry, each tenant hiring
one plot and gaining his living from it
independently. Westchester landlords
maintain the required number of hands,
pay them wages and furnish them with
homes on the place, but manage the
whole estate as one would factory
breeding horses, raising sheep and cows
and disposing of the products indie
pendently of the workers.
This is the plan on which most of the
Westchester and Hampstead so-called
country houses are run. For the mas
ter's house there are perhaps 80 serv-
ants; for the farm work there is a
staff of 20 more. Nearly all the
owners are men not in business; they
are men of leisure, and their only duties
are those connected with the control of
their estates. They are not numbered
among the extremely rich, like the AS
tors, the Vanderbilts, the Belmonts and
