THE FREIGHT RATE FIGHT.
New York Merchants Not Discourage
at GriHKs' Refusal to Act.

New York Merchants Not Discouraged
at Griggs' Refusal to Act.
NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Railroads be-
longing to the Eastern Trunk Line
pool have put into active operation the
new freight tariffs, involving an ad-
vance of 20 to "a per CEN in rates.
Merchants of this city, not discour.
aged by the refusal of Attorney Cen
elal Griggs to institute injunction pro-
ceedings to prevent the application Of
the new rates, are determined to fight
the rates. They will first apply to the
railroads themselves and try to get a
hearing by the classification commit
tee which drew up the higher rates.
They propose to show that the rates
will not only be a serious discrimina-
tion against small shippers, since the
advance on less than carload lots, but
the new tariff is likely to drive away
business from this port. Some Of the
trunk lines have received complaints
from business men in the interior, to
the effect that if the new rates stand,
they will be compelled to ship by Bal
timore, Charleston, Newport News,
New Orleans and other Southern ports,
since the narrow margin on which they
do business will not admit of any profit
whatever under the new tariff.
If no other plan works, it is under.
stood that the shippers will take steps
against the railroads on the ground
that the new agreement concerning
rates is made by an ironclad pool,
which is in all respects as much a VIC
lation of the ANTITRUST law az it it were
operating as an association.

TeIegraphed Up One Fught.

That New York is a big city which the stranger seldom learns very well, was quite forcibly impressed upon certain well known Californian few days ago. He was charging about ia the business district aEl suddenly re- membered that he wanted to telegraph to friend whose offices are at 195 Broadway The Californian dashed into the nearest telegraph office, wrote out his dispatch, and covering it with coin, passed it through the wicket to the receiver. The receiver smiled. What is the matter?" demanded the Californian Why this is 195 Broad way" said the receiver, "and your man is up just one flight of stairs" There was confused period that lasted about a second, and when the Califor- nian got his nerve back he calmly said: s.I know that Let it go anyway. I guess can telegraph across this room or this counter if I want to and have the money. We do that thing out tn California every day for joke
 The receiver may have been bluffedt but as receivers go they are hard to impress.-San Francisco Chronicle.

Big "rv in English Writing.

Did it ever occur to you that it might seem very egotistical for you to write of yourself with capital "Is instead of using the small and less obtrusive one? The English use of the capital 'I'' is one of the oldest features of the language-to a for eigner If Frenchman writes refer ring to himself he makes "je" (the French equivalent of .'I'') with a small .j." So with the German, who may use capitals to begin every noun; he always uses the small 'f" in writ ing 'tich.' The Spaniard avoids, as far as practicable, the use of the per- sonal pronoun when writing in the first person, but he always writes t 'yo, taE3ng pains, however, to begin tie Sf izh equivalent of our you" with - e1al. In English it is sure- ly big and little you" as the old saying t.as it.

Current newspaper statements con- corning the will of Rosa Bonheur re- call the fact that the principal legatee was, until the last year of the great artists life, an entire stranger to her. Miss Anna Klumpke, a young portrait painter of promise, greatly desired to paint Rosa Bonheur, and wrote. ask ing that privilege. Receiving a favor able reply, she at once started from Boston to Fontainebleau, France, and entered upon her work. The two women found themselves in such close sympathy that Mademoiselle Bonheur asked her visitor to make her homo with her, and at her death last year devised almost her entire estate chateau, park, library. paintings and priceless manuscripts-to this young American. The story is a romance in real life. It underscores the poets query: Who can answer where any road Ieadsee"

Women Not Cowardly.

When cowardice is described as a leading feminine attribute somebody makes a huge mistake. Women do the most daring things on record take chances which would appal man. They may jump at the sight or mere mention of a harmless mouse, but they court death several times a yea. It is one of the traits which makes feminine nature so puzzling. I hayo known Wom= en who were timid to 4 degree, under ordinary circumstances, come forth as heroines under the pressure of occa. sion. A woman who shudders at the sight Of a small cut from which blood oozes will often exhibit marvellous courage in shocking accident. It is beautiful to think that dependence can be placed upon that species of reck- iessness which leads us into unneces- saTy trouble.
