MoyDA2 EVENING. OCT. 80. 1899
a sad Discovery.

An old woman from Tasmania,
ssunterins through the chamber of hor-
rors at Melbourne wax works, in Aus
tralia. recognized the figure Of hang
ed murderer George ChaInberlainl as
that of her long lost son. Up TO then
the poor old woman had been hoping
that her. offspring would turn up at
any time.with an affectionate greeting
and big bag of money for mother.
= GOOD Answer.
Ernest McGafrey, the poet, is ac-
credited with good bonmot. a lady
said to him:
"Oh. Mr. McGafey have just seen
your wife for the first time since your
marriage. But had supposed that she
was taller woman. She seems shorter
than when l saw her last"
Certainly" replied the poet solemn
ly;; "she has married and settled down,
you know"-San Francisco Argonaut.
In Mexico everything and everybody
pays direct tax. frcm the street por-
ter to the largest mercantile establish
ment, and the stamp tax for docu.
uents is equally lucrative.

larger tailoring business in Alexandria than
has ever existed here. believe also that
while PRICES is factor, the first and mos
important thing is THOROUGHLY GOOD
WORK. In other words while men want low
prices they also demand good cloth and we'll
cut and we'll made garments have bought
both here and in Europe bigger stock of
high grade cloths than usual, and at advan.
tageous prices. I have the best workmen
that money can hire, and I'm attending right
to business myself as have been these twelve
years. have carefully counted the cost of
everything; have figured not how much
such work should bring, but how little can
do it for, and Pm going to make the price

LOUISIANA RAILROAD COM MISSION UP AGAINST
 A SNAG.
SUIT FOR INJUNCTION.
Railroads and SteambOats Will EQt Garry Freight Under the
 New Rules.

New Orleans, July I5.-The de- termination of railroad and steam boat companies to resist the rates fixed for handling rlce from country : districts threatens to seriously inter fere with the prompt transporta. tiop of this years crop to market. Today the new rates of the railroad commission go into effect and the Southern Pacific brought suit for injunction al Baton Rouge to pre- vent operations. The railroads urges that the rates are unfair and unjust and an awarranted diserim- ination against the best interests of the lines of transportation. The steamboat interests also oppose the rates promulgated by the eomnis sion, and Capt. Woods, of the St. Louis and New Orleans line, de clares the steam boat will make DO attempt whatever to handle the rice this reason unless old condi- lions are restored, and let it remain on the levees. The rates established they say, involve to them a none tary loss, instead of affording them Q return on the large capital they have invested. Rice planters and brokers are much alarmed oyer the condition of affairs presented and fear serious injury will be done to the crop this year unless Q speedy arrangement is made between the transportation lines and tbe ral.- road commission.
