a DISTRICT SOLDIER DEAD.


Pathetic 3rcumstances surround
the Case of Private Bnrroyvs.
Frank Barrows, private in Company
F, First District of Columbia Volunteers,
died at o'clock yesterday afternoon at
the home of friend No. GIT Tenth Street
northwest.
The circumstances surrounding Bar
rows death are pathetic. The young
mans antecedents are not known in
Washington and when he enlisted in the
District Regiment he was without en-
ployment and apparently without friends.
He served with the regiment in Cuba and
was not taken i'll until he reached Mon
tauk Point. The physicians ascribed his
illness to utter exhaustion from the hard
ships of the campaign. He also suffered
from dysentery and malarial fever.
He remained in Camp Wixoff Hospital
for several days, but when the regiment
was ready to leave for home he left his
bed and joined the company. When he
arrived in the city he suffered a relapse
and was offered shelter al the Soldiers
Temporary Home, on Ninth Street, but a
patriotic woman of the city who saw that
his condition was serious invited him to
accept a room at her home in Tenth
Street, which he did.
Barrows had no friends outside of his
regiment excepting the kind woman who
furnished him shelter, and up to his death
it was not known that he had a living
relative. After his death, however, his
clothes were searched and a letter was
found in one of his pockets from a woman
in New York who addressed him as My
Dear Nephew and who is presumably
the young mans aunt A telegram an
| nouncing the boys death was sent this
| person yesterday evening. bat up to a
late hour last night no reply had been re-
| ceiyed.
Private Barrows was young mar
| about twenty-one years of age. No ar
| rangements have yet been made for the
| funeral. He will probably be buried with
| military honors in Arlinton

ITHACANS WIN THE MATCH.
Colgate, With a Heavier Team, Falls
Victim to Cornell.

Ithaca, Sept. 24.-CoIgate treated Cor
nell to a surprise this afternoon by scor-
ing on the local team in the latter part of
the second half, but in justice TO Cornell
it must be stated that the visitors did not
score until the Cornell team had put in
five substitutes. The final score of the
game was: Cornell, %; Colgate, s.
The Colgate team outweighed Cornell
on an average of fifteen pounds to a man,
and at times were able TO rip big holes in
the Cornell line, but were generally stop
ped before they got the ball near the dan
ger line.
The Cornell coaches are rather pleased
with the fact that their weak point was
in defense, as the players have been
rather overconfident.

Franklin and Marshall Defeated
Yesterday I'm n Lively Game.

Philadelphia, Sept. A-The University
of Pennsylvania football team scored a
victory against Franklin and Marshall in
their first game of the season this after
noon. defeating the visitors by score
of II TO 0.
The first half netted Pennsylvania "a

Considering that it was their first game

strong game. Garnet, Overfield, Hare and

travellers unused transportation at a
low figure and offers it for sale at a slight
advance, but still below the regular rates
set by the railways. What puzzles the
public is to know why this Injuries the
railways. The transportation which gets
into the hands of the scalpers has
been paid for to the railroads once In full
and has not been used. The only con-
%clusion permitted is that the profits of
railroads is largely made up of goods
paid for but not delivered-transportation
purchased, but never used by the pur-
chaser-and the injury comes in the
scalper forcing the delivery and thereby
reducing the profits. This conclusion Is
further helped along by the ''non-trans-
ferable" mileage books. The cost of
transporting n man is no greater than
that of transporting another; if the low
rate at which the book is sold is sufficient
to compensate the company for carrying
the purchaser, it is sufficient to pay for
the transportation of his neighbor to
whom he may wish to lend 1t. By car
rying that neighbor instead of the
original purchaser of the book, the
railway loses nothing. And so we say
that the contract which the purchaser
signs invalidates itself, for it offers only
an imaginary concession on the part of
the railway, while exacting what may
ultimately prove actual hardship and
loss to the purchaser. If the railways
are acting in good faith and with no
expectation of gaining something for
nothing why the restriction? If they
are acting in good faith, why not offer
themselves to purchase unused trans
portation at pro rata rates and thereby
set the scalpers adrift without an
occupation.
We write in no spirit of captiousness,
but with a sincere desire to have these
little matters explained. No one will
accept the explanation when made more
quickly than the REGISTER.

AS TO RAILROAD MILEAGE.

In reply to an editorial which appeared
in these columns last week, the Rutland
Herald gives details of the Holden VS..
Rutland Railway case, which dispose of
the report hat Holden won his appeal
in the county court on its merits. He
won on a technicallty.
The REGISTER did not base its remarks
on this case alone. We used it merely
as an instance of the authority granted
by law to railways in general. Had
Holden presented a mileage book not
his w and confessed the fact, as
common report had it, the result would
have been the same, so far as the sub
sequent action of the conductor and
officials is concerned. 1t was only a
couple of weeks ago that two passen-
gers on the Rutland road, unaware of
the nature of their ''crime," offered a
book not their W and had ii taken
from them by the conductor, with a
demand for fare.
The Herald, through its prOprietorship,
is one of the best qualified newspapers
in the state to give the views of railways
in this matter, and we sincerely should
be glad to see some light thrown on it
from that source. The matter is per
tinent at this time, as the Democratic
platform contains a clause covering the
subject.
AS the Herald says, the case of miliage
books is a very troublesome and puzzling
one; but there are a few well defined
features about it which, from the pub
lies standpoint, are without Justice.
1t is quite natural for the railways tC
be at ''outs'' with ticket scalpers, but
we believe the public does not share
this antipathy. The judgement OF
the people as a whole is not often
wrong, and it devolves upon the
railways to prove their position
to be correct. A general definition of a
.scalper is a man who purchases from

BOSTON PRODUCE MARKET.
From Wednesdays Boston journal.


The butter market is no higher than last
week. The upward tendency seems to be
checked in the West, and while receipts con-
tinue to fall of, there is no disposition here
to force any further rise for the present,
Trade h Is Oeen very light the past two days,
partly owing to the hot weather, but mainly,
we think, on account OF the liberal purchases
made on last weeks rising market and of the
determination of buyers to resist the eX
IRENE prices ruling at sources of production.
The fact that dealers are falling back on
cold storage stock, rs evidence by the taking
out of 1900 tubs last week, is a proof that
they thin k it is about time to call "A malt on
the upward trend OF the market on fresh
goods. But whether this will act as a per
manent check, or only keep prices down for
a short time, remains to he seen.

A PLEASING CONTRAST.

In his day perhaps no man was ever
so thoroughly disliked and with so Just
reason as Jay Gould. His great opera
lions in railway-wrecking and the wide
distress he caused thereby, not only
among the small shareholders who lost
their all, but as well among the thou
sands of shOp-hands and other workers
thrown out of employment by the cut
ting down of forces incident upon re-
ceiverships-made his name the synonym
of all that is evil and oppressive in &C.
cumulated wealth. We all remember
how on his death public speakers and
public prints, disregarding for the nonce
the Injunction to think no evil of the
dead, joined in scorching condemnation
such as no man ever before had heaped
upon him.
But now the reverse of this picture in
Helen, daughter of Jay Gould. Since
large part of his millions to this daugh-
ter, we have occasionally heard of kindly
acts and beneficiencies at her hands, but
for the most part they were incident to
accounts of the daily life of n of the
wealthiest ome in America. The
breaking out of the war, however, has
brought out not only the fact of Miss
Gould's generosity, but also her ability
and willingness to give her personal
time and energy to the cause of helping
others. Her gift of 100000 to the
government is a w~ell-known incident.
But as president of the WOman's Nation
al Relief association has Miss Gould's
self-sacriicing spirit manifested itself.
While the wealth and aristocracy of the
metropolis have betaken themselves to
the mountains, seashore and water to es-
capt the unprecedented heat of this sum-
mer in the city, she has remained and
has worked night and day in the arduOus
duties of her position. She has collected
money, purchased supplies for distribu-
ton among the hospitals, fitted out re-
lief ships, and otherwise assumed the
work which the incompetence of the war
uNpal lulChb las lCAl " PlifdAC NlAlNCho
to do. She has at her own expense sent
five shiploads of ice to Santiago, and has
fitted out one relief ship from her own
resources. She personally visits all the
hospitals in the city of New York, and
whatever the superintendent say is
needed in each is promptly supplied by
Miss Gould. An incident by way of
illustration. Last week she learned that
the government inspectors had recon-
mended -four electric kitchens for the re-
lief ship Missouri, now being fitted out
in New York, in order that the smell of
cooking and the heat from the burning
of fuel might be minimized; but the
government authorities decided that it
was too costly a luxury. Miss Gould
Immediately sought out the inspectors,
obtained an estimate of the cost of the
kitchens and paid for them, nearly
$1,000, In advance.
1t is pleasant to be able to contrast this
character of the daughter with the sOr-
didness, greed and self-seeking of the
father, and to give full praise to the
d%escendent of one who received great,
though merited. condemnation.

Russia is busy at the west as we'll

II completing her great railroad

preparing to establish a great i~ce-free
port thereon. We have hitherto told of
the renaissance of A%rchangel and the
opening of a railroad connecting that
ancient city directly with Moscow and
all Russia. That is an important stem.
But it is not enough. For A~rchangel
is near the inner end of the White sea.
and that sea opens into the Arctic
ocean. What is wanted is a port on
the Atlantic, or at least on
the Arctic, near the Atlantic, and
that is exactly what Russia
is now en%deavoring to secure.
The first step is the opening. or reopen-
ing, of the old port of Kola. That il
on the Murmanian coast. well IN to-
ward the Norwegian frontier. At that
point the Arctic ocean is practically
always navigable, instead of being for
months choked up with ice, as is the
White sea at Archangel. And it is 500
miles nearer the Atlantic than is Arch
angel. 1t has the disadvantage of be-
ing much further away from Moscow
n st. Petersburg, and not connected
with them by river or railroad. But
the enterprise that runs a railroad
across Siberia can be trusted to build
one across Finland and Lapland. Large
appropriations have been made from
the imperial treasury for the improve
