1t thus appears that, Tor TINS FOUR
months period the net earnings have
risen from sec, s1S 900 in 1896 to 1926, O24,-
900 in 1901, or at the rate of los per cent.
The striking fact in these comparisons is
that while Robustness has risen at the
rate of IS per cent the profits have gained
at the rate of los per cent, or in a nearly
doubled ratio.
With such an immense increase in both
traffic and net earnings. it is not sur
prising that prices have risen at the rate
exhibited during the boom; rather, the
surprise is that market values have not
been expanded still more. The signifi-
canoe of this movement is strengthened
by the fact that it has been no sudden or
artificial squirt but gradual and normal
drift extending over six years OF steady
and real national growth.
The leaders In railroad management
have not been slow to foresee that this
increase of earnings may be attended
with some embarrassment. The Ameri-
can people have always been jealous
about the profits of great corporations.
especially In the case OF those that serve
large public interests. In some States,
the legislatures have imposed a limit
upon the rates of interest which ran
roads may pay; and 1t Is by no means
an impossibility that public opinion may
incline to the conclusion that some limi-
tation ought to be enforced against high
rates of dividend on railroad stocks, as
a means Of preventing the transportation
interests from depressing the industrial
and commercial interests. The recent
railroad IDEALS" whether so explicitly
intended or not-have had the actual eff
feet of replacing some $500, 900 of first
class railroad stocks by new issues of
$3.50. 100000 of bonds, and the earnings
which had been distributed on the former
are now distributed among the holders
of the larger latter sum, with the ap-
parent effect OF reducing the rate of i'm
terest by one-third, whilst really leaving
the total amount of interest disbursed
wholly unchanged. One of the effects of
these changes is to withdraw from the
market a large amount of stock invest
ments, with the effect of temporarily

The Little Woman Is Not Considered When Paris Designs the Seasons creatlons-The Tall Beauty
 and Her Galnsboroueh.
BY ANNIE KENpRIcK WALKER.

If the autumn millinery Is to be judged by the length of the plumes that Bir- mingham importer was purchasing yes- terday from a Paris representative the large hat will be the only style that will be brought out for dressy occasions, noth- ing less than Gainsborough or an ultra fiaring hat could support the long, heavy plumes that this dealer ordered for the autumn season.
 The handsomest effects were the coque feathers. so arranged as to be used as one long plume, and no style of trimming can be more effective than long, graceful plume encircling a flaring hat at least this picturesque style Is becoming to the tall woman with the statesque air. The Gainsborough effects add to her stateli- ness, and when a Parisian milliner an- nounces that large, f1aring hats and their attendant plumes will be "the hat" he has in mind some queenly woman with ex- actly the correct boise to set off the ultra hat.
 'The little woman, no matter how charming and attractive she can be, Is never thought of in the world of hats" confessed this importer yesterday when some one suggested that the small wo- man would look a fright in a Gains borough
 "Of course," he continued, there are less ultra styles for the little women who would not dare. look at a large hat with it's dropping plumes, but I am speaking of the creations of the Paris milliners, for Paris continues to set the styles in mill linery.
 'It is only the tall, superb looking wo- men whom Paris has in mind when the great hats are being designed.
 '"The small hats, the toques and turban effects are for the little woman, and both the toque and turban effects will be in vogue this winter, and the little woman will not be at loss in selecting her win ter chapeaux.
 For the street the rough and ready hats will continue to be worn, for while they came in on the Spanish-American war wane, American women have found that they were equally as convenient in times of peace.

CHANGES MADE IN
 POSTAL MATTERS Postmaster General Smith Issues 0rders-R Radical Changes PUBLICATIONS EXCLUDED
PUBLICATIONS
That Have Subscription Price Founded Upon Premiums and Not News value-Will Save Millions To
 the Government.

Washington, D. C.. July 17.-Postmas- ter General Smith has signed three or ders amending in important particulars three postal regulations affecting sec ond class mail matter. The change will make sweeping and radical reforms in the department practice and method of treating this class of matter.
 The first order amends Section 76 so as to exclude from the second class publi- cations which have the characteristics of books. This amendment is in these words: 4
 Periodical publications herein referred to are held not to include those having the characteristics of books, but only such as consist of current news or mis- cellaneous literary matter or both, not excluding advertisements and conform to the statutory characteristics of second class matter"
 The second order amends Section 2S1 in several particulars, the principal one be- ing that publications, the subscriptions to which are not founded on their value as news or literary journals, and which by the general use of premiums or other considerations in the form of chances to win prizes, etc, to induce subscriptions. in effect circulate at apparently nom- inal rate, will be retired from the second class. The essential paragraph of this is as follows
 ''The subscription must be shown from the publication and when it appears from the contents or from the intrinsic induce ments offered in combination with it, that the circulation of the publication Is not founded on its value as a news or lit- erary journal and that subscriptions are not made because of such value, but be- cause of its offers of merchandise or other considerations resulting in effect in it's circulation at apparently nominal rate, such publication does not come within the requirements of the law for acceptance as second class matter
 The third order amends Section 301 so that unsold copies of second class publ- cations may be returned at the pound rate to news agents or its publishers.
 An explanatory statement given out at the department regarding the order says:
 Loose and indifferent interpretation heretofore is responsible for the loss of many millions to the government. It Is believed that when the effect of these changes is thoroughly established many postal improvements will follow and one cent letter postage will soon be made possible
