New Western Classification Eifec-
tive Jan. IS.
FEW GRAINS OF COMFORT
AN AVERAGE ADVANCE OF ONE
CLASS.
An Extra 80 Cents Per 100 Pounds
On Nearly all Kinds of Commodi-
ties Will Be Charged On Ship
ments West of Missouri River At
ter the Middle of January.

Commencing Jan. Is. the new west
ern classification ratings will go into
effect. In all but a few instances the
freight rates on carloads and less than
carloads of all classes Of commodities
moving west from the Missouri river
will be materially increased over the
rates that are now prevailing. an a
great many instances the minimum
weight per carload has been increased:
this is especially so in the matter of
household furniture and other bulky
material.
In the majority of cases the new
classification tariff shows that all the
commodities for which the demand is
large will be advanced one class, or
an average advance of 80 cents per
hundred pounds, west of the Missouri
river.
Some New Reductions.
In a few scattered instances the
classes will be reduced a point or two;
and there is a sort of ironical comfort
to be extracted from the fact that car
loads of lanterns and campaign torches,
for which there IS a demand once every
four years. will be reduced from first
to third class. or about 60 cents per
hundred pounds.
sumers may be found in the fact that
such products az bee hives and honey
box lumber. shaped brick, sweat pads
and sweat collars, hoof stuffing in pals,
yard hydrants and shoddy dust will be
reduced in classification and shipped at
an average of 80 cents per hundred
pounds cheaper than heretofore. Solid
rubber tires for vehicles will be reduced
from first to the one and one-half class.
or s1.15 per hundred pounds.
What Goes Up.
AS an offset to these reductions. and
in order to enable the railroad COM
panieS to keep their heads above the
water and meet the increase in price
for all kinds of railroad material used
in the construction of locomotives. cars
and extensions. the following advances
in classification and rates will take eff
feet on and after Jan. Is:
All kinds of agricultural implements
and parts will be advanced one class,
or 80 cents per hundred pounds. Ce-
reals, such as produce, hominy, rolled
oats, barley, etc, will be advanced from
flour tariff rates to fifth class, or from
40 TO 80 cents per hundred pounds; al
most 80 per cent. All chemicals move
up one class and will be advanced from
10 to % cents per hundred pounds.
Crockery and stoneware will pay 80
cents extra per hundred pounds. Gro
ceries. such as baking powder. coffee,
syrups and canned goods, will be ad-
vanced one class. which means 80 cents
added to the rate now in force. Hard
ware of all descriptions will be adj
one class and viii also be re-
quired to pay an additional 30 cents
per hundred pounds. f

PEOPLE WANT A VOTE.
Gov. Pingree Asked to withhold Sig
nature from Detroit street Rail-
way BiII-IIis Reply.

Detroit, Mich, March 25.-Mayor
Maybury, who is in New York, on FRI
day telegraphed Gov. Pingree at Ian
sing requesting him to withhold sign
ing the bill for the requirement of De-
troit's street railways by the city until
the people have had opportunity to be
heard upon the matter. Strenuous OBJ
lection has developed to the bill chiefly
because it authorizes the council to APP
point commission to purchase the
roads without permitting the people to
vote upon the proposition. a citizens
committee which has called q mass
meeting for Monday night wired a SINH
lar protest to the governor.
The governor replied from Lansing
in lengthy open letter, asserting that
he would sign the bill and giving his
reasons therefor. Gov. Pingree as
serted that the people of Detroit are in
favor of municipal ownership of street
railways; and that if the proposed ex-
pertinent does not prove n success the
people will meantime have derived the
benefit low fares, and the property
will be returned to private ownership
without loss to the city.
The price and terms at which the
street railway companies are willing to
sell out to the city have not been dis
closed, but it is known that there have
been negotiations on the subject be-
tween Gov. Pingree and Tom l.. John
son, president of the Citizens Street
Railway company, who has general
management of all the properties In
innate political friends of the governor
assert that he has secured an agree
ment, the terms of which will be emf
nently satisfactory to citizens should
the common council see fit to appoint
a commission as provided for in the
new act

CHEAP LEGAL ADVICE.
A Man Who Believed in Paying a
Lawyer for His
Opinion. Ci

The other day an old fellow slouched into
Attorney Oscar kahn's office, on Legal row,
and introduced himself as Mr.. Smith, Jones,
Brown, or something, of neighboring coun-
ty. He said he wanted to consult lawyer,
and was accorded seat and one of the at.
torney's sweetest smiles.
He then explained that while he was away
from home the sheriff or some deputy had
attached his wife's sewing machine and
bureau for taxes He didn't propose to
tolerate such imposition, he declared, and
came to Paducah to consult lawyer
about it.
What is the amount OF taxes?' inquired
the lawyer.
"Lemme sea dollar and % cents" was
the reply.
The lawyer could not conceal smile, but
fastened to say: "Well, Mr.. Smith, if YOU
want my advice, it is to 60 back and settle
that small amount. 1t looks like the easiest
and best way out of it..
The old fellow thought moment, and re-
piled that he believed he would. Answering
he asked: How much do | owe you!"
"Oh, nothing, sir" was the reply. II
won't charge you anything for little advice
like that"
"But allus pays fer whut git, and want
ter pay yer jes' the same"
"Oh, that's all right; come in again some
time when you need advice on something
more important, AMI We'll square it then"
Nav, but | want ter pay It now Jes'
squeal out. IF it's 25 cents, I'll pay it, Ef
We want 80, there it u.s." And he threw
down a half-dollar and left.-Paducah (ky0

MISSING VACANCIES.
There Was n Box of Them and They
We're Held by the Agent
for Charges.

short tune since quite discussion arose
among the officials OF one of our prominent
southern railroads as to the reason of the
many vexatious delays and troubles in the
Transmission OF local freight. 1t was claimed
by some of the parties interested that it was
caused almost entirely by the stupidity or
inefhciency OF the local agents, and as there
was some difference of opinion on this point,
it was decided that the matter should be
tested.
To this end tracer was prepared in due
and formal shape, calling for the where
abouts of Zone Box of Post-holes," which it
alleged was missing from a prior shipment.
This was sent out in the regular order of
business, with nothing except its internal
nothingness" to draw attention to it's I'M
usual character, and passed agent after
agent without eliciting comment or informa-
ton save the stereotyped Endorsement:
"Not here"
Some Is or Is local agents were actually
passed in this way, until the tracer fell
into the hands of bright young fellow
who was accustomed to looking into the
business passing through his hands, and
who speedily came to the conclusion that
the tracer had gone far enough. At any
rate the document went speedily back to
the general Office with the following in
dorsement: "Box of Post holes, as per in
closed, held at this station for local charges
to amount of S25 Will be forwarded on
receipt Of same" Under this Endorsement
was written: IN. B.-The price of beer at
this station is $3.50 per key" 1t is said that
the charges went forward.-Harper's Mag

PROF. WASHING TOMS ADVICE.
UnconditionalS Surrender to Southern
Democrats to Secure Immunity
from Race Conflict.

Tuskegee, Ala, April 10.-Prof.
Booker L. Washington, answering the
request of a prominent colored man in
North Carolina as to what should be
done to allay the present conflict be-
tween the races, clearly advises him to
make alliance with the triumphant
democracy. Says the letter:
Il have been asking myself lately
some very serious questions, and /
want to put one or two of them to you.
Is there any reason why the negro in,
the south should continue to oppose
the southern white man and his poll
tics? Is this not the source of nearly
all our troubles? Unconsciously we
seem to have gotten the idea into our
blood and bones that we are only act
ing in manly way when we oppose
southern white men with our votes.
I'm some way, by some method, we
must bring the race to the point where
il will cease to feel that the only way
for it to succeed is to oppose every
thing suggested or put forth by the
southern white men.
This, | consider one of our real,
problems.
Il believe that there are thousands
of white democrats in North Carolina
who are so per cent. better friends to
the negro than Gov. Russell, and see
no necessity in continuing to follow
Gov. Russell, who has no power to pro-
tcct, or if he has the power, does not
exercise it, rather than these other
white men who can protect us if we
cease to continually and forever op-
nose them"
