FoR NOTHING.

The Chicago American has an inter
esting diagram, accompanied by Stats
tics, showing the growth of the Union
Traction Company and the CONSOLE
dater Traction Company from nothing
to a capitalization of eighty-seven
million dollars, all based upon leases
Of subordinate lines and new franchises
obtained from the City Council for
nothing, after the usual fashion. The
Union Traction Company and its allied
corporation owns absolutely nothing,
and did not put a dollar into its treas
ury as capital stock. 1t simply leased
the plants and franchises of other COM
panies, guaranteed interests upon stocks
and bonds, and issued watered stock
against these leases for $32, 000, 900,
upon which fat dividends are paid.
Generally the men who own this new
stock also own the stock and bonds of
the smaller companies swallowed, and
as high as IL per cent. interest is paid
dPCh SOmO VI thOoC eCSui ltlCop W say
nothing about the subsequent division
Of profits. Free franchises are the
basis for all this paper wealth, and
corrupt city Councilmen are to blame.
There ought to be proper compensa-
ton TO the public for street railway
franchises, with provision in them that
after a certain term of years they shall
become the property of the public, and
what is even more important, there
should be a provision for a proper car
schedule, both as to frequency of run
ming and total daily hours of operation,
with heavy penalties for failure to carry
out the agreement. Franchise grab
bling Is in decidedly bad odor among
the people of American cities, for or
late there has been a wide dissemina-
ton of information upon the subject
and with that has come a realization
of the many crimes Councils have
committed.

the INSCRIPTION: sTriennial Conclave,

with beautiful repousee ornamental de-
signs, while the base Of the piece con-
sists of four Maltese crosses and four
triangular emblems. with notices In
relief.
The fourth prize will be a loving cup
with three handles, the panels between
being ornamented by the seal of the
Grand C~ommandery of Kentucky and
the badges of the two Louisville COM
manderies. The cup is finished partly
in bright, with ornamental and relief
work in light gray, and with gilt lining.
A punch bowl, in sterling silver like
the other prizes, will reward the win
ming team in the mounted commandery
contest. The dimensions of the bowl
are seventeen by eleven inches, and the
finish is in rich Butler style with APP
piled borders. The Louisville Masonic
Home is pictured On the front of the
bowl, and the seals of Louisville Com
mandery, No. 1, and De Molay, No. IL,
of Louisville, frame the picture at eth

~commandery will appear on a large
shield that adorns the reverse side of
the bowl. The ladle is finished in the
same style Is the bowl, with the ham
die representing a full suit of armor.
There is hardly any doubt now but
that the Louisville Conclave will be the
greatest in the history Of American
Templarism. Contracts for quarters
have already been closed by knights in
thirty-seven States. In arrangements
made with the Committee on Hotels
and Accommodations, independent Of
the contracts closed with the railroads
for parking sleeping cars, West Vir-
ginia is third so far in point Of repre-
sentation, Illinois and Missouri being
first and second. Besides the Grand
Commandery, seven Communicates
from the Mountain State have decided
to make the pilgrimage. The Grand
Commandery and communicates at
Wheeling, Parkersburg, Charleston,
Fairmont, Bramwell and Sistersville,
will be located at the Willard hotel,
while the Huntington commandery will
be stationed at the ST. Nicholas hotel.
The Sistersville Commandery will pro-
baby be the Baby" commandery at
the Triennial, it being still under dis
pensation and not yet chartered.
One hundred thousand dollars is to
be spent by the Louisville committees
in entertaining the 150. 900 visitors COM
ing to the Conclave. Other features of
the program besides the drill will be a
big parade, a horse display, a grand

The first is a banquet service of thirty
four pieces, massive and of the richest
design. The center piece is a jardi-
Mere, with candalabra attachments
suitable for either electric lights or
candles. With the candelabTa removed
the piece becomes an exquisite punch
bowl. From the bottom of the jardi-
Mere a pedestal of ebony arises and
supports a loving cup. The embellish-
ment of the cup, and all pieces of the
trophy, carries with it emblems and
symbols prominent in Templarism. A
modern knight in full uniform, and
standing before his tent, adorns one
panel of the loving cup. Another pan
ell contains the picture of an ancient
knight in armor, while the third panel
is adorned with an excellent likeness
of the Widows and Orphans Home of
Louisville, the pioneer institution OF
the kind in the United States. Along
with the insignia of the order, wheat,
corn, tobacco and blue grass-Kentucky
products-are shown on the lower part
of the cup. The punch bowl proper is
provided with bold relief copies of the
seal of the Grand Commandery Of Ken
lucky, and the badges of the two Lou
isville Communicates. The reverse side
of this section of the jardiniere is orna-
mented with an etching of an ancient
knight mounted on a galloping steed
and approaching a Saracen. The bowl
is supported, Atlas-like, by an Ameri-
can Indian head and the head of Dan
iel Boone, placed at the respective ends
of the vessel. Knights heads, crosses
and oak leaves are tremendously ar
ranged into relief work around the pro-
minent figures on the center piece.
Equally as rich are the other pieces Of

The great inventor, Thomas A, Edi-

experiments with a new electric motor
which will reduce the cost Of them at
least one half and the size necessary

ally In automobiles and thinks 1t will
SO reduce the price on these new ma
chimes chat they will be within the
reach Of almost everybody Hereto
fore he has sold his patents to big cor
pOrations that have reaped the big re-
wards. This time he proposes to man
ufacture himself, make a reasonable
profit and give the public the benefit of
the remainder. Should the use Of the
automobiles become so Topnlarlzed as Is
claimed it may interfere very seriously
