KNIGHTS OF HONOR.
Statement Given Out at the Ma
tioual HEADQUARTERS

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 20.-The
knights and Ladies of Honor, with ma
tional headquarters in this city, this
afternoon gave out statement with
reference to reports of Withdrawals
from the order in which they say:
"First-No grand or subordinate
lodge can withdraw or secede from the
order Individual members may with
draw by card, or may allow themselves
to become suspended for non-payment
of assessments. There is no other way
out of the order except by death. Su
coordinate lodges may have their chart
ers annulled by the Grand Protector in
a grand jurisdiction. but any officer of
a subordinate or Grand Lodge may be
suspended from his office for cause. We
understand that some lodges may have
had their charters taken away from
them, and that some subordinate OIL
GERS have been suspended from office
for altogether different reasons than
any alleged in the article in question.

Tsstfies Before a Subcommittee Of the
Industrial Commission,
Some of His Statements Causing
a Sensation Among His Hearers
Asserts That the Published
Freight Rates Are Not and
Cannot be Maintained by the
Roads.

CHICAGO. Nov. 20.-The testimony
of President Stickney of the Chicago
and Great Western Railroad before the
sub committee of the Industrial Com
mission investigating rate discrlmlna-
ton to-day was given very frankly, and
some of his statements caused sensa-
lions among his hearers. His first
declaration was:
II tell you frankly these published
freight rates are not maintained by the
railroads, and cannot be maintained. II
is an impossibility. The interstate COM
merce law, as far as Investigations ana
corrections are concerned, is roaring
farce.
A sensation was created, as the state
ment fatty contradicted the statements
of more than half a. dozen railroad
Presidents, who said published freight
rates were adhered to strictly.
Il am hereto, / know, said MI.
Stickney, by way of introduction to MS
arguments, "in saying that Congress
should keep it's hands off the business
affairs of the country; that the powers
of the Interstate Commerce Commls-
sion should be extended, and that car
rying charges must vary as do prices
of commodities in the trade world, on
conditions.
On taking the oath President Stick
ney stipulated that he was giving opin-
ions merely.
The question of issuing free passes
was taken up. The witness conceded
with the view that this practice should
be abolished
I'VE find it to our interests, how
ever" said he, ito extend favors to GER
tain classes of men (referring to men,
bers of the judiciary who may ask for
them
rs it not an evil to morals that
Judges get passes and private citizens
none?" came the question.
We'll, l don't like to pass on morals, .
was the answer.
What would you think if Congress
prohibited the pass system, and stopped
ticket scalping?"
My attitude on such questions" was
the unhesitating reply, lis that Con-
gress is not created to run the bust
ness of this country. The best thing
Congress can do is to repeal some OF
the laws it has made. The ticket broker
ing problem should be left to the rail-
roads and the public
rs not the bulk of business done by
scalpers given them directly by the
railroads."
Il presume it is was the ready re-
Spouse. II don't think pooling would
have any effect on holding rates stable =
said Mr.. Stickney. I'm the first place,
l do not believe pool could be formed.
and. in the second place, unless it en-
braced everything, it would produce the
results which you seek to prevent
DO you favor publicity of railroad
affairs, an examination of books by
Government experts, as with banks p
Mr. Stickney was asked.
II am opposed to every principle OF
Government paternalism, except super
vising police authority. l would object
to Government inspection of national
banks. Government interference has
wrecked more banks than ever went to
pieces in any other way. AS to Gov
eminent ownership, 1 believe that the
Federal Government, if handling rail-
roads, would make the same limitations

Sanitary Conditions in Manila.

Military hospitals of Manila and the
Philippine Islands have attained a
standard of excellence that defies the
sting of the critic; and because of it
the common country is to be congrat-
ulated. There can and will be no
repetition of the Chickamauga scan
dals The sick and wounded are cared
for in a manner characteristic of high
est civilization, and the death rate has
been so small all things considered,
that physicians and surgeons and
nurses and military authorities wonder
at it, with more or less astonishment.
According to statistical reports from
New York, the death rate in that city
has been much greater than it has been
in Manila, army and navy counted in,
and for that matter the killed on the
several battlefields of LuZon. This
statement remember, compares the
relative population of the two cities; so
nothing can be claimed for New York
because of her greater habitation.-

PELICAN CLUBS TROPHY.
Another Shoot Will Be Necessary
to Develop the '99 Champion.

1t was supposed by the members of
the Pelican Gun Club that last Sun
days shoot ended the seasons series OF
seven, and that L. S. Epson had won
the medal for the highest average-6S
per cent. Stimulated by this SUPPOSE
ton Epson has been treating his
friends quite literally as the seasons
champion.
But the discovery was made yester-
day that the series of seven matches
had not been concluded, and that there
is to be yet another shoot. The con-
test for the trophy really lies between
Epson, Bert Adams and E. A. Nicolaus.
The former has an average of IS,
Adams 81 and Nicolaus 66.
The trio will settle their conflicting
claims to the championship on Sun
day next in a 20 bird match at pigeons,
and the affair is creating considerable
interest among the club members.

Still More C1unterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters, and secured
a large quantity of bogus bills, which are
so cleverly executed that the average per-
son would never suspect them of being
spurious Things of great value are al
ways selected by counterfeiters for imi-
tation, notably the celebrated Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which has many imita-
tors but no equals for indigestion, dys-
pepsia, constipation, nervousness and gen
eral debility. The Bitters set things
right in the stomach, and when the stom-
ach is in good order it makes good blood
and plenty of it. In this manner the
restores vigor to the weak and
debilitated. Beware of counterfeits when
buying. See that a private Revenue
Stamp covers the neck of the bottle.

Against the Portland Jobbers.

PORTLAND, Nov 20-In the United

rendered a decision in the case of Allen

against the Oregon Short Line Railroad
for alleged violation of the long and
short haul clause of the interstate COM

claimed that the Short Line dis
