AN INCREASED TONNAGE
A HANDSOME IMPROVEMENT IN THE
MOVEMENT OF LOADED CARS.
Increase i'm Panhandle Earnings-Tne
Different Factions of the II. & D.
Reach an Understanding.

The train records show that in the week
ending July II there were received and
forwarded at indianapolis a total of 25 $40
cars, 17,201 being loaded. While the loaded
car movement was not at its maximum,
there were handled at this point last week
1885 more loaded cars than in the week end
ing July 10, 1,5T more than in the CORE
spending week of 1896 and 555 more than
in the corresponding week of 1895, which
indicates that there has been a marked i'm
provement in business with the Indianapolis
lines in the last few days. The movement
Of empty cars was the largest ever known
in any one week. The principal increase
was with the Cincinnati division of the Big
Four, which, during the week, gathered up
on its lines 1885 empty cars to turn over
to the Chesapeake e. Ohio to be loaded with
coal. AS the week advanced there was
quite a call for cars to load with the new
wheat crop, which has begun TO move to
Toledo and seaboard in considerable guam
titles. The cooler weather permitted the
moving of live stock, and never before in
a summer month has the live stock move
ment been as large as at present. Ship
ments of hard wood. veneering, hides and
produce were much heavier eastward than
in the peceding week. West-bound tonnage
was hardly as heavy in the week ending
July 10, especially in sugars, the market
having become more quiet. North-and-
south roads last week did a good business.
The Louisville division of the Pennsylvania
lines did the largest business in months
and the Monon makes unusually favor
able exhibit, as also does the Chicago di-
vision of the Big Four. With all lines
there was a healthy volume of business
handled, and the week now entered prom
ises even better results. The Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton had quite little squirt
in business in the shipment of grain to
Toledo and so far as local lines are con-
cerned the shipments of grain the present
week are likely to keep the roads busy. For
some time past the distribution of cars
has been going on. At the way stations of
the Indianapolis lines there is now q good
supply. of cars, and should the weather be
favorable this week large shipments of
wheat are looked for, and an increase in
the shipments of corn from the cribs is AN
ticipated. Taken as a whole the outlook for
indianapolis lines is good for several
months to come. Below is given the car
movement for the week ending July IT, and
for the corresponding periods of 1896 and
1Sq5.

'Tea, /" he reasoned, "eeatains water,
the rest is but accident, and proceeded
to pour out cup. But it was strong,
even to blackness, so he went in search
of water, and, having found some, wa
tered the tea down to a more reasonable
color, christened the baby with it, and
reported the circumstance, as q case of

One other story, may add here, as
it serves to illustrate certain disparity
often noticeable between Saxon and
Celtic word values, and also the way in
which Irish orators discount their own
rhetoric. A home ruler was haranguing

JOHNSON'S BOSWELL.
The Alleged Original Source of Our
knowledge of English Literature.

The Alleged Original Source of Our
knowledge of English Literature.
To some of us--I suspect, indeed, to
good many-Boswell represents the
original source not only Of knowledge
about johnson, but of our knowledge Of
English literature in general. He was
our introducer to the great anonymous
club formed by English men of letters
from the days when Shakespeare met
Ben Jonson to the days when Carlyle
discoursed to Froude. We became MEM
bers of the craft in spirit under Bos-
wells guidance, whether we have or
have not become actually identified
with it in the flesh 1t therefore be-
comes next to impossible to abstract
from Boswell-all our later knowledge
has been more or less ingrafted upon
him, however far we may have travelled
from the source. Boswell gave the nu-
cleus, and more or less consciously we
have used his world as standard inev-
1tably taken into account in all later
judgments To suppose Boswell nonex-
istent is for such readers to suppose q
kind of organic change in our whole es-
innate Of literary characteristics
When reading, especially about some
Of the other famous takers, Coleridge' s
monologues Or Sydney Smiths explo-
! sions of fun, find myself thinking how
they would have sounded at the Miter
or the Turk S Head. Thanks to Boswell,
l take the Johnsonian article to be a
fixed datum like the official yard at the
Tower, and to be asked to put that out
of my head is to be invited to deprive
myself Of my only measuring rod. 1t is
exceedingly difficult, at any rate, to put
oneself outside of Boswell and to con-
strue portrait Of johnson simply cut
of such other materials as are here put
together.
have read Hawkins and Mrs. Piozzi
and the rest, but always with the help
of the preconceived notions Where
they could be fitted into Boswell | have
accepted them as co1roborations, but
when they differed have probably re-
jected the uncongenial elements with
perhaps a careless assumption that they
must be inaccurate and yet it seems
only justice to these respectable persons
to consider whether we ought not to re-
open the point. II Mime. D'Arblay saw
something of johnson which was not
revealed to Boswell, may we not discov-
er similar supplementary hints in the
other attempts at portraitUre?-Leslie
