in use. can cause a greater ratio OF ex-
pense. He said that several OF the
banks In New York and many of the
great industries were combining with
the idea OF decreasing expenses in pro-
portion to the business done. He said
he Is in favor of putting all of the COM
panies on the same footing. Certainly
1T Is unjust to have restrictions on one
company which are not on the other.
He believes that there should be max
imum and minimum rates. He is sat
isfied that the City Councils have the
power to fix the rates.

MR.. OSCAR f. SMITH.
Mr.. Oscar F. Smith. ship and cabin
stores, president of the Norfolk Dredg-
ing Company. said he cannot see why
the City Councils should not treat all
telephone companies alike. allow the
same privileges to one as to the other,
and put no limits on one that do not
apply to all others. He does not wish
that any company shall do business
here nj a loss. but he is not cOnversant
enough with the subject to know at
what rate the charges could be fixed
so as to ensure profit. He says the
Councils should grant uniform charters
and fix maximum rate at which all
companies are to do business. He can
not undertake to say what that rate
shall be. But the City Councils ought
to fix it because they have the power
to alter, amend or repeal the franchise.

telephone rates are given to-day by the
Virginian Pilot. They speak for them
selves:
COL. HARRY HODGES.
Col. Harry Hodges, president of the
Eatna Iron Works. said he had ex-
pressed his views with the committee
of the Board Of Trade. of which he
was u member. That report recon-
mended that the City Councils should
1N maximum and minimum rate
for the phone companies. He is
heartily in favor of that action.

THE BELL COMPANY AT NEW
YORK HAS JUMPED RATES THERE
FROM $50 TO S24O PER ANNUM,
AFTER DRIVING ALL COMPETI-
TORS OUT OF THE FIELD.
MIR. L. p. ROBERTS.
Mr.. L. p. Roberts. wholesale and re-
tail grocer, said he had become re-
signed. He supposed, after the City
Councils passed that franchise, allow
ing the Bell Telephone Company to
charge any rate it pleased that there
was no remedy. He said the Virginian-
Pilot is making an admirable fight in
the interest of the people. and he
wished ii and the people success. He
said that he doesn't see why one COM
the other has an unlimited rate. 1t is
plain business view which demands
that all companies. doing business here.
should have maximum and minimum
rates specified alike in each one of their
franchises.

MIR. LEROY w DAVIS.
Mr.. Leroy w. Davis. wholesale to-
bacco dealer and cigar manufacturer,
said that, as n member of the City
Councils at the time. he had fought
hard to prevent the passage of the ordi-
nance for a franchise without fixing
maximum limit for the Bell Telephone
Company He introduced amendments
and strove in every honorable way to
defeat the ordinance. He had told the
members of the Councils that chickens
would come home to roost IL that I'M
wise and unfair ordinance were passed
Hence he is on record as being in favor
OF maximum and a minimum rate
He Is not opposed to corporations. but
he is opposed to giving any valuable
franchises to them, allowing them the
use OF the streets of the city FREE
WITHOUT PROPER RESTRICTIONS
and without compelling them to make
some return to the city for the valua-
bic concessions they obtain He be-
neves that fairly adjusted pro rata
tax on street car passengers and on
all public services In this city would
pay large proportion. if not the en-
tire. expense Of the city.
FROM $4,000 TO $4,000 IS QUITE A
JUMP AND. WITH NO MAXIMUM
LIMIT FINED BY THE CITY. THE
BELL COMPANY CAN PUT UP IRIS
PNICE TO $40 HERE IF IT WISHES
MIR. w. L. BROOKE.
Mr.. W. L. Brooke, wholesale grocer
said the conditions on which the two
telephone companies do business here
should be equal. II they are not so
the city Councils should make them
equal. He had not understood. till his
attention was directed to it by the
Virginian-Pilot, that the citizens had
any remedy against the exactions of
the Bell Company. Since, however.
there is remedy the City Councils
would be remiss in their duty if they
do not apply it in the interest of the
people. He is in favor OF maximum and
minimum rates for the Bell Company.

Pictures do more toward furnishing
house and determining the status OF
Its inmates than anything else. II you
have suspicion that you are not wise
In choosing and hanging pictures, get
advice from someone whose taste need
not be questioned. says tho Pittsburg
Dispatch. Cheap pictures are not nec-
essarily poor, but a poor picture is
usually cheap. To be able to discern
the difference is a quality with which
every ono Is not blessed. A good plan
Is to purchase copies of famous pic
lures, etchings and engravings. These
are almost sure to be good. In franz
Ing pictures remember that gold
frames are for oil paintings and dark
pictures, white frames for water col
ors, and black enamel or Flemish oak
and modern oak for etchings and
photographs.

Long Skirts Are Fashionable.

Long skirts in the street, longer
skirts In the house. and it pleases
every one but the woman OF economi-
cal mind. There is o sweep to the
train OF extra length whi,h gives q
pleasant sensation to o woman of
presence; she likes the feeling of the
swing OF the skirts. The dressmaker
can get better effects with the long
skirt; it shows up the material to bet
ter advantage, and as it takes more OF
it, that is o satisfaction to manufac-
turers and merchants. But that is
not 30 agreeable TO the woman who
has tc count the dollars. A long
train requires less trimming, II any
thing, than ashorter one, for 1t has a
certain dignity OF its own in rich
material, aud 10 apt to lose by being
trimmed.
