Switching Charges In FL paso
Changed For Them But They
. Remain the Same For the Rail-
roads

General Agent Houghtor .of the San
ia Fe, Is back from the recent con-
ference at Austin, regarding the
ad justment of the Ell Paso switching
rates.
THE meeting of the state railroad
commission considered, among other
things. the reduction of the switching
rate at Ell Psso. I see the HERALD
made note of the matter at the
time, but the decision was not then an
noupced.
THE commission decided without
any hesitation to do away with the ex-
ce ption which has hitherto been made
in Ell Paso. The regular rate has
been a charge of S1.50, for a mile or
less, but for more than twenty years
the Ell Paso roads have been regarded
as operating in a territory which was
peculiar to itself, and have been allow
ed to make charge of s.. 90 car
"Now that distinction has been in
measure abolished, wholly so in so far
as it concerns shipping charges paid
by the shipper or consignee, and the
charge to them Is to be hereafter only
$3.50:
'In the payment of switching
charges by the rosds themselves, the
exception still holds. For instance,
tie T. P. brings in a car from Chics-
go, aud we do the switching. Our
charge is S5.0O-competitive business,
you see. But if they bring in car
say of hay, from near by point on
their line, for local dealer, aud we
transfer it, the charge is only S1.50, as
in the rest of Texas, for the consignee
pays in this instance.
GAS to the time business, a charge
was agreed on of cents hundred
from Courchcsne's and OF / cents from
ViDton's"

THE MAN IN THE KNOW
Tells Few Thugs About Ticket
Agents Commissions And Things
That Are Very Near the Truth.

1T is my earnest belief, remarked a
rsilroader, who has resided in Ell Paso
for quite a long term of years, that
since the new passenger agreement
aboltshing ticket commissions, there
has been an agreement entered into
by the local ticket rustlers, not to sell q
person a ticket over their respective
lines unless he would walk in and at
the point of a six shooter force them to
do so.
NOW take for instance that erst-
while non -pareii of the ticket world,
Jim Momsop. l have seen the day
when he would not wear a pair of
shoes that were not provided with
large iudestructiole signs on the soles
advertising the reliability of the Santa
Fe Route. For one year Jim had his
understandings decorated with Pixies

not occupied sit behind the counter at

RAILROAD WRECKS
In Mexico Show Ridiculous Unred-

Victor Murdoch, of the Wichita Eagle

has the following to say about the
ridiculous procedure of Mexican an

in that country:
Great interest is being taken in the

Mexican railroad man, died in prison
where he was incarcerated by reason OF
the ridiculous laws of that country.

Wardrobe OF a Chinese Matron.

Wardrobe OF Chinese MatrOn.
1t seems that there are changes Of
fashion in the dress Of Chinese wO-
men, but they are confined chiefly to
the variations of length of the tunic
and the wearing or leaving off a skirt
The usual garments are trousers, a
skirt, and two or three little coats.
The Chinese woman making an aft
ernoon visit takes off her skirt, just in
the way that an English lady would
remove her cape. If it is very warm,
she may take off one or possibly two of
the little coats
The trousers are really the most gor-
geous part of the costume, being some
times of rose colored satin worked
with gold. Blue cotton is generally
used for everyday wear
Chinese women wear no corsets, but
they compress their waists for all that.
They have scarcely any width of hip.

ments to quite a painful degree Of
