NeedIessIy Alarmed.

The general solicitor of one of the In
~dianapolis system of railways suggests that
the roads have survived the predictions OF
the opponents of the interstate-commerc'e
law. The law has by no means proved as
destructive to railroad interests as mao
been predicted. Their financial distress has
not been greater than that of other busl-
ness interests. 1t should be borne in mind
that pools and traffic agreements nave
worked with the best success only when
the volume of traffic was large. scheme
has yet been Devised said the attorney,
to prevent irregularities when there was a
scramble for the light traffic and believe
this agitation will lead to the suggestion
of plans. some one of which will be Sc
lected. permitting railroads to adopt an or
ganization which will furnish stability TO
rates under the protection Of law through
legalized pools or traffic agreements.

The BLACK Maria.

In Boston's early days negress
named Maria Lee kept a sailors board
ing house near the water front. She
was woman of gigantic size and pro
digious strength and was of great as
sistance to the authorities in keeping
the peace. When an unusually trouble
some fellow was on the way to the
lookup, Black Maria, as Maria Lee was
called, would come to the assistance OF
the policeman, and her services were in
such requisition for this purpose that
her name was associated with almost
every arrest made.
Black Maria often carried prisoner

when the prison van was instituted for
the purpose of carrying prisoners it nat
