hear demands in some quarters for fur
ther reductions in rates. Unless some
thing is speedily done for our railways
the welfare Of the entire nation will
be threatened. The bill before congress
allowing freedom Of contract between
railways will remedy some of the trou-
bles, and should be passed by the next
congress. That bill protects the pub
lie and shipper against high rates, and
will enable the railway company to get
the schedule rates. 1t will put the
railways on a solvent basis, start
the workshops again, and give emplo,-
ment to larger number of workmen.

outdoor exercise. Those who delight
in ante breakfast walks or gymnastics
are warned, too, that ''early morning
exercise" is as much to be avoided as
early mental labor, because at that
time vitality is at its lowest ebb, and
needs stimulating rather than further

SUGGESTIONS FOR MODERN
STABLE.

copyrighted, 1897. by Cooperative
Building Plan Association.)
The great vogue of the bicycle, the
extension Of trolley railroads, and the
introduction of the automobile cabs,
have called out many dismal predic-
tons from the horseman. The public
has been told times without number
that the reign of the horse is forever
over. In illustration of this statement
the unprecedentedly low prices at which
horses have lately been sold are quoted,
and there comes grewsome stories from
the wild and woolly west of the shoot
ing of entire herds of horses on the
ranges, in order to save the pasture for
the more valuable beef creatures. AS
a supplement to these tales, 1t is ever
said that canning factories have been
established, where horseflesh is put up
in ported form for unsuspecting for
eigners. The photographers and car
toonists have had their fling at the
subject, and If one should take the
signs of the times, everything would
seem to point TO the virtual extinction
of the equine species in the not remote
future. But those who love mans best
friend and servant among the dumb
beasts, and who do not care to surren-
der him for steeds of steel or naphtha
fed cabs, need not be unduly alarmed.
In fact, horse flesh would seem to be
an excellent investment at this very
moment. With the fall in prices that
was due to variety of seasons, horse
breeding has been given adequate re-

The members of the Wheeling Ath-

the club room on Market street. 1t
was well attended, particularly by the
younger members, all of whom mani
tested a great amount of interest in
the institution. The situation of af-
fairs in the club, and the falling off in
membership, were considered, and
were eubject of full and free discus
sion. Plans were suggested for in
creasing interest in the organization,
and committee was appointed to
superintend the remodeling of the
gymnasium.
The apparatus at the club room is
complete, including all the Standard
appliances for the development of the
body, but it is to be still further i'm
proved and made second to none in the
large cities.
From this time it is likely that the
members will manifest a livelier in
terest, and that there will be access
sions to the club at every meeting.
The dues are small, and the benefits
worth many times the expense. The
fall classes start Friday. Class nights
will be Tuesdays and Fridays of each
week. Boxing classes will be in
structed on Mondays and Thursdays,
and each Wednesday night will be de-
voted to basket ball. The instructors
will be Jacob Loos and Hugh Whyte.
