RAILROADS uNRnsrRA1NED.
Judge Knapp's Views on Joint Trnf-
&c Annexation Decision.


The regulation of railroad rates for the
transportation OF passengers and freight
Is practically thing of the past. The
recent decision of the Supreme Court
OF the United States. declaring the Joint
Traffic Association Illegal, has evidently
sounded the death knell to all similar as
sociations or combinations. Under the
decision referred to not even a verbal un-
derstanding between railroad managers
the condemnation of the far-reaching
antitrust law, which has been construed
TO embrace railroads.
Judge Knapp. chairman of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, in an inter-
view on the subject yesterday, gave 1t as
his opinion that competition among rail-
roads was not what was wanted. 1t
would in the end result in the big roads
swallowing up the little ones and Great
ing a monopoly that could not be con-
trolled, and at the same time doing great
injury to the commerce of the country
He said there was absolutely nothing to
prevent rate cutting in the liveliest man
ner, but he hardly looked for anything
more than a generally demoralized condi-
tlOn, SUch as mas existed Since the liiiiS-
Missouri decision eighteen months ago.
Judge Knapp's views as to remedy
are that special legislation should be
made by Congress waich would allow the
railroads to combine all they chose and
fix their own rates. which should after
ward be made public and enforced by the
Government This would insure uniform
ity in charge. which was the one thing
to be desired above all others in trans
portation.
Judge Knapp has given great thought
to this question, and his Investigations
have led him TO the conclusion that the
popular idea of unobstructed competition,
while the only solution OF the CONNER
cial question, is not applicable to the
business OF transportation any more than
II would be in levying taxes or collecting
revenues. The functions of railroads are
in their very nature public. and the tolls
they levy should be made uniform and
regulated by law.
The invariable complaint OF shippers has
been that they have been Disseminated
against TO their detriment and to the
benefit of their competitors. "Competi-
ton" said Judge Knapp, ''is nothing
more than discrimination. II is the pow
er which two rival firms have of shad-
ing their prices that creates the life of
trade, but the business of transportation
to be just TO all must be uniform.

The preparatory school of the George

HOW TO KEEP YOUNG,
Love of Sport a Factor in Longevity
of Youth.

From the New York Tribune
Although the secret of eternal youth will
never be discovered and one must grow
Old nolens volens, it is no longer neces-
sary to confine the season of youthful
looks and feelings to within certain term
or years. 1t is chiefly matter of tempera-
ment-and. 1t goes without saying, health
as well-as to the length of time an indi-
vidual may feel, act and even look young
One person IS old at thirty, while another
retains the indefinable and elastic quality
of youth until well past middle age 1t is
very noticeable in these latter days that a
prime tactor In the longevity Of youth Is
lore of sport
The women who ride. who swim, who
play golf, certainly appear much younger
than their CONTEMPORARIES who care for
none of these things. AS one woman re-
marked the other day: with small waist

tnhappiiy for the majority, however the
love or sport Is inherent it cannot be cul-
uVated or assumed, and those who, for the
sake of fashion or in the hope of becom-
ing more juvenile, assume the role of
sportsman soon grow weary of the effort
and relinquish the struggle, whereas a
natural taste for these things is one of
the most desirable gifts that nature can
pessow- IN much lesser degree love
OF dress Is a desirable quality, and should
not be despised. Although many people
consider such a taste puerile and frivolous,
1t Is really desirable one to possess. A
woman who loves her clothes has always
a resource which helps her to ward off
oio age, and II she happens to deceive
herself more than others in regard to her
juVen1iity, what does it matter? The pleas
urc Is hers, all the same. woman whose

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
VIENNA. July Is. 1s9S.
Reports from all fashionable summer re-
sorts have fully confirmed the fashions of
the summer season, which is now advanced
and in full swing, and it remains to the
coutUrier to evolve probable styles for the
fall from it ALL
Despite the constant cry from many con-
noisseurs that women are not wearing
entire costumes of wool except In tailor
suits, the most charming gowns have been
made Of cloths. cashmere. poplin, yelling
and canvas.
The two latter fabrics particularly enjoy
the favor of fashion, and a number Of
variations are brought CIt by Manufacture
ers in view Of their continued popularity
during the fall.
Thus, wolfe etamine' has come into the
market. and our handsome model is COM
posed of this graceful material.
The rather complicated skirt consists of
tabs of gray yelling lined with white taf-
1eta- The tabs are disconnected and fall
loosely over an underskirt of knife-p -pleated
slTer-gray tafteta. Each tab is borderad
with two rows of silver-gray baby ribbon
which are accumulated around the scallop
by tiny cut steel buttons. and Il small
founce of siIyer-gray nousseline de sole
forms the edging. A most artistic design
copied from Pompadour MODELS and con-

Even These Necessary Articles
Change With Varying Fashions.
From the New York Herald.
The most frivolous woman I'D to date is
the one who followed assiduousIy all the
fashions and fads to an extrayagant and
loollsh extent She so carried this habit
to excess that 1t extended even to her we'd
dlng ring This she changed from time to
time as the fashions changed and a new
Nldth or shape came into favor
W hen II was first placed upon her fueer
the ring was Il broad, heavy, oval topped
Tlng. with rather sharp edges. That poor
httie circle has gone through the fire
enough times TO change it into a fiat ring
with square edges. into a perfectly round
wlre. into half wire, into fat top band
with round edges, and even to eliminate its
idehuty entirely as wedding ring and it
Is now no more her original wedding ring
than any other ring which she wears Rut
she still calls 1t her wedding ring, and her
wedding ring is always in the latest fash

reason that she cannot bear to wear any
thing out of date even in jewelry, or wheth-
er she wishes to appear a bride, or wheth-
er she imagines that it will help her to ap-
pear younger than she really is is a uavs-
terry. She herself is scandalized at the
very idea that any one will insist unon
wearing an old-fsshioned wedding ring
and expresses great disgust with any wo.
man w4o allows herself to be out of fash
lon in this matter.
Quite discussion took place on Hud-
son river boat the other day between her
and another woman who had romantic
IDEAS concerning her ring and had never
allowed 1t to be removed from her finger
since 1t was placed there by her husband
during the marriage ceremony, consider
Ing It sacred emblem, too precious to be
removed even for a moment
The frivolous woman, however is not mr.
terly devoid of the proper sentiment about
this important ring, or she would put II
away In her Jewel casket and buy a new
wedding ring with each new style. It would
cost less money than to have the old one
done over.

From the Philadelphia Times
There is TO be a revival in the fashion OF
using lace. 1t is appearing everywhere.
old-fashioned lace shawls, in both white
and black, are being used over colored lin
ings for wraps. The shawls are not cut
but fall IN natural folds from the shoulder
back. Lace gowns are gaining rapidly in
popular favor. Irish lace of every descrip-
ton is much worn. both in making up en-
tire gowns and in trimming. A pretty lace
gown has skirt of black Chantilly over
black satin that falls in a graceful demiI
train. The bottom of the skirt is edged
with ruching of black and white chiffon
The bodice is Of black accordion plated
chiffon, bloused over white chiffon. There
is a tall stock of black velvet and a narrow
black velvet ceinture
