THE ORE RATE CASE.
State Commission Orders Rates Pub
Iished By Dec. 3rd.

ST. Paul, Nov. 13.-The iron ore
carriers have both lost and won their
contest with the railroad and ware
house commission. The order fledMon.
day evening dismisses the order of
November, 1900 and of May 80, 1901,
and the state withdbaws all claim to
jurisdiction over through shipments of
ore.
By a vote of two to one, however,
the commission asserts the authority
of the state over business within the
state. The roads fled tariffs from the
mines to Duluth and Two Harbors, but
have refused to extend these rates to
the ore docks, which they claim are
used only for Interstate traffic The
commission orders them to file on OF
before Dec. 3, rates based on delivery
at the docks. Such rates may be used
for shipments transferred and relief to
lake carriers.
Doubtless the railroads will appeal
from this order. Either side will ap-
peal from the holding of the lower
courts, and the case will eventually be
decided by the supreme court of the
United States.
The order is signed by Commits
sioners Staples and Miller. 1t follows
the conclusions of Attorney General
Douglas and of Henry W. Childs, for
mer attorney general.
The order of the commission is as
follows:
In the matter of filing of the tariffs
of the Duluth 81 Iron Range Railroad
company with the railroad and ware
house commission:
1t appears to the commission that
all ore. shipped over said road from the
mines or stations, along the line of
railway, within the state to points
without the state of Minnesota, is in
terstate commerce, and as to the tariffs
the commission claims no jurisdiction,
but as to all shipments of ore from the
mines or stations along the line of
said road within the state to the ore
docks at Two Hsrbors, destined to
points within the state, is not inter
state traffic, and over such shipments
the commission claims jurisdiction.
Therefore it is hereby ordered by the
railroad and warehouse commissioners
that the said Duluth & Iron Range
Railroad company on or before Dec.
8, 1901, fled, in the Office of the COM
missioners at st. Paul, Mimi, sche-
dule of its ore tariffs and charges fol
the transportation of iron ore not in
terstate traffic from the several stations
and mines along its line of road to its
docks on Lake Superior at Two Har.
bors MINI. and also keep said sche.
dule Tor public inspection in every de.
pot and station on the line of it's said
railroad. The orders of she commits

are hereby vacated.

the promise of things to come so ex-
perience would make me real Black
woods writer. This compliment was
not lost on me, for | was familiar with
the rich literary traditions of the
Blackwood's house. The letter also
invited me to continue sending stories
until acceptance should finally be the
reward of perseverance, and assured
me that Mr.. Blackwood would give me
the benefit of personal criticism.
THAT first story was sent to Bel
gravia and accepted; but my ambition
was to get something into Blackwood' s.
Edinburgh house the best work of
which | was capable-only to receive
| it back again with generously pains
taking letter, pointing out its defects
and giving definite advice for future
efforts"
Beatrice Harraden confesses her
self ''fnery b. latriot," and just
! before sailing for England a few
weeks since she declared: 'Tm eager
to get back so that can go down to
the docks and welcome the victorious
soldier boys as they come home from
| lighting the Beers. Why, | haven't
had so much as a chance for one good,
rousing, patriotic cheer. But I'll
make up for lost time when l get back
to the dear old town where the air is
full of just that sort of thing"
Miss Harraden has probably the
shortest working day of any writer
who labors systematically. She per-
mits herself to work but ninety
minutes a day. In this brief time,
however, she accomplishes a marvel
Gus amount of work. When asked if
she did not do any mental work out
side of her appointed hour and a half
of labor she answered.
"Unconsciously, perhaps, but not
to focus anything. During all the re-
mainder of the time | try to be dill
gently idle so far as literary thought
is concerned" OF her own novels
Miss Harraden is said to regard "The
Fowler" as a much stronger piece of
work that "Ships That Pass in the
Night"

the idea of power; the second, which
comes after a closer acquaintance
with his life, is that of unceasing en-
ergy or desire to be doing, coupled
with dauntless ambition. Self-pres-
ervation with hiI. must extend to the
protection of and development of
these original possessions of his ma
ture, which must have full scope.
That is, he must feel his power, have
scope for his energies, and realize his
ambitions. These are the most vital
parts of himself. They must be pre-
served and grow to their full vigor,
otherwise he has not realized himself.
Opposition is to him, therefore, but the
opportunity to use his power to beat
it down. He seeks to employ no unfair
means. He scorns to take under-hand-
ed methods. He does not stoop or bur.
row to accomplish his ends, but is
open and fearless. He is fair and lib.
eral himself, and if he thinks any un
fair advantage is being taken by an
other, whoever is in the track of the
storm had better reef sails and look
out for squalls. Sometimes he is very
hot-tempered and excitable, giving
day to angry bursts of passion when
opposed or crossed in his purposes.
He is essentially masculine in his
nature. He is bold, original and cre-
alive. The predominant instinct in
him is not the art instinct, or the lit
erary instinct, or the scientific in.
stinct.. He is the active man OF
affairs. He is through and through
the shrewd, successful business man.
But he is also more than this. He is
man with a stern sense of Justice,
and is a man with large human SYM
pathies. He has warm social side.
and takes pleasures in his home and
his club. He has had thirteen chill
dren, of whom only five are living
four sons and daughter. His man
sion has been built on scale that is
in harmony with his other actions.
He is liberal in his religious views and
possesses rugged simplicity of char
acter. He is big-hearted. He likes
to see others get ahead as well as
himself, provided they do not get in
his way. He is benevolent, open-hand-
ed and generous, end has very large
sympathies for the working man and
small consumers. He believes that he
performs the greatest service to others
by employing his capital in productive
and helpful enterprises by which men
have the opportunity to keep them
selves. But his public and private
charities have also been many. He
appreciates the value of art and mu-

A Feminine Baedeker.

The address-book of any intelligent,
experienced naval officers wife is an
institution that must not be over
looked. There is scarcely u sea-coast
town in the United States. where she
is by any possibility likely to go, in
which she has not among her notes
the names of one or two at least pos
sible boarding-houses, the least unde-
sirable hotel. and the terms summer
and winter. Her book on Europe, en-
larged and altered year after year by
returning pilgrims, is a thing that
might with profit be made more ae-
cessible to the general public. There
are also the names of a physician, of
music and language masters; per
chance an American dentist; millin-
ers; dressmakers of the homely, avail
able order not found in books; a
laundress, perhaps, tried and true;
each town fairly complete and up to
date, the whole sort of purely practi-
cal. entirely feminine Baedeker.

Houses in EIizabeth's Time.

AS regards the average houses
IN London at that time, they were
built without foundations, and were
cold and damp The first sign of
growing prosperity and the conse-
quent desire for crater comfort was a
rapid increase in chimneys and the
provision of fireplaces. The rooms
were low and ill-lighted, notwithstand-
ing the fact that glass now replaced
horn or lattice work in the windows.
An Italian visitor exclaims: 20
wretched windows which cannot open
at day nor shut by night" The
staircases were dark and narrow, the
apartments sorry and disconnected.
The ceilings were of plaster, often
with a very beautiful design nodded
upon it. The walls were either wains-
rough and masked with tapestry.
arras, or painted cloth" which was
hung a little distance from the wall to
avoid the damp, and so formed con-
venient hiding place in case of neces-
sity, and was always a receptacle for
dust and dirt. The floors were strewn
with sand, or more generally with
rushes. Unless these were frequently
removed they became another harbor
for dirt especially in the dining room,
where bones were thrown to dogs
beneath the table. There was no re-
gard for what we consider sanitary
precautions; and it is no wonder that
the plague in some form or other was
endemic. Sensitive persons carried
with them something fragrant which
they might smell when their noses
were too powerfully attacked by un-
pleasant odors.-Bishop of London in
Cornhill Magazine.

A JAPANESE CHARACTER.
The Crafty Jinrikisha-man the Bane
and Blessing of Travellers.

Onoto Watanna, the gifted Japanese
writer, writing in the Woman's Home
Companion, gives this description of
the most picturesque laborer of her
native land: "The jinrikisha-man
waits at the street-corners and solicits
fares, though this is contrary to the
exact police regulations. However,
the jinrikisha-man is not always IS
principled as he might be. and has
little, if any, regard for the police or
his regulations. He has no COM
junction whatever in overcharging the
scale of fares set by the police, but as
rule the customer himself pays but
little attention to this. The fare is
usually higgled over before riding, and
while they walk, and sometimes great
distances are covered before terms
have been reached. The jinrikisha-
man also generally (unlawfully) de-
mands drink-money, especially when
he is forced to wait at tea-houses or
pleasure resorts on the road. He is
constantly being set on by the police
| for charging more than agreed on,
threatening TO put down female GUS
| toners unless his demands are ac-
coded to. A woman hiring vehicle,
| for instance, may sometimes find her,
self within impossible walking dis
lance of any town or point, and surly
man demanding extra fare or threaten
| ing to dump her. Counter-threats
do not affect him. Better pay and be
Zone with it. However. when you
have melted his heart with a handful
of sen he becomes friend worth hav-
ing. 1t is true he may spot you as
being one whom it is worth his while
to keep in touch with during your
visit the city, and you will find it
difficult to leave your hotel without
encountering him hard by, Emporium
ately soliciting your patronage, though
on each and every occasion he will
call to you as though you were an
utter stranger to him and he has never
seen you before, or does not appear to
recognize you as the person who
tipped him so well the previous day."
