The famous "Brocken" scene in
Lewis Morrlson's "Faust" is a fss-

the Hartz Mountains on Walpurg-
is night. Saint Walpurga, who
went to Germany with Roniface,
has his advent there ohronicled
in the calendar az May l, hence
the appellation of Walpurgie

that night as the time of the an.

spells were cast, auguries told, and

Q box about six inches square, set in
aide OF what seemed to be an ordinary
wicker lunch basket. When desired,
the box could be pushed down through

An upward push would restore it to ita
original position, and the lens worked
through small hole near the end. The
contrivanee was evidently of foreign
manufacture. and the salesman told me
It had been made especially for an
agest who was sent to take pictures Of
fortif1cations on the French frontier.
According to his story. which is =
little romantic. but which have no
reason to doubt, the spy would saunter
out, dressed as a tourist. and carrying
the lunch basket on his arm. When
an officer came along he would push
down the box and show him that the

Withdraws New Orleans
Rate.

The prospects of troublons times in
local passenger affairs which appeared
few days ago to disturb the prevail
lug serenity have been removed The
Illinois Central has abandoned it's
plan to put IN low rate from Omaha
to New Orleans on account of the
Madrl Gras festivities at the ur-
gent request of the Western Passenger
association. This action on the part
of the association, of winch the Illinois
Central rs member, WAS prompted
BY the protests from other lines belong
ing to the association aud competit!yes
with the Illinois Central.
The Illinois Central has its own line
from Omahs to New Orleans and
gave notice that 1t would put into
effect February %, rate of S36 75
for 9 r"nnd trip between these extreme
points nf its system. This was in &C.
cordance with custom pursued br
the Illinois Central for years to give
all points on its line the benefit of q
low rate to the south during the New
Orleans Madri Grss. But the Omaha.
Chicago lines objected. They predict
ed that such action would precipitate q
bitter rate war, owing to the wide var
lance of the excursion rates quoted
and the regular fare between Omaha
and New Orleans, the latter being S7l.
The Illinois Central rate would have
forced the lines operating between
Omaha and Chicago to put in ronud
trip rate between these cities of Sl1.75
in order to harmonize the round trip
rate from Chicago to New Orleans,
@23, with the Illinois Central rate from
Omaha Aside from this objection it
was set forth that the return tickets
from Chicago to Omaha could be
placed on the market in Chicago, when
the traveller re,urned there. and that
by reason of this the Chicago Omaha
rate situation would be paralyzed
The Illinois Central wan lOath to &C.
cede to the demands of the association
that 1t abandon its proposed rate, for
IT. afforded the first opportunity for
the new line to extend special favors
to its cltanta9e in Omaha. It is now
announced that the rate from Omaha
To New Orleans will not he made on
