The convention of railroad commits
sioners at San Francisco while it ac-
complshed nothing remarkable, did
more than was ever attempted by any
previous national gathering of commits
sioners, according to c. +. Staples, Of
the state board, who has just returned
from attending the deliberations of the
meeting held in the California city.
"A permanent organization was effect

serious efforts were ever before made to
obtain. 1 believe that something may
now be accomplished by the body, now
that it has an organization, and some
definite purpose of existence The con-
stitution framed is a good one, and /
look to see the railroad commissioners
do something in the future. To many it
appeared that the gathering did abso-
lutely nothing, but the move toward
systematized management was a step
in advance. The ~-scussions, for tne
most part were desultory and the

had devoted much study to the matter,
and the solution he proposed, contains
novel features which commended them
selves to the favorable attention of the
convention. Mr.. Happ has evolved a
cleverly thought-out schedule of equi-
table rates. on any given rate as a start
ing point. 1t applies to all classes OF
freight, and once an equitable starting
rate Is known, just rates for all other
points can be arrived at easily. Ills

appointed to report upon his scheme at

opinion that 1t will be favorably con-

HEARING WILL BE TEDIOUS.
Railroad Commissioners Expecting
Some Lengthy Sessions This Week.

Some Lengthy Sessions This Week.
The railroad commissioners are antic!-
pating a tedious hearing of the iron ore
cases which commence Tuesday. The
first matter to be taken up is announced
to be that OF jurisdiction, and that Will
occupy the whole of the week, when al
adjournment will be taken to permit of
the board taking up other matters.
Counsel for the three roads interested
will, as they have foreshadOwed, argue
tnat the rates on ore are in the nature
of private contracts with the mining COM
panies, and therefore not subject to regu-
iation by the railroad commission. This
line Of argument will be adopted in oppo-
stion to the demand made by the boar
for the production Of the schedule of tar
ifs. The late commission made a similar
demand, but met with a like refusal and
1t ordered a reduction in the rates, which
were not made, pending the result Of the
appeal for a rehearing.
The question Of jurisdiction out of the
way, that of rates will be tackled, and
that Is where the hardest work is expect
ed II is expected that, with adjourn
ments, the rehearing will occupy the at
tention Of the board for a number OF
weeks.

New wooden Jars 10 Embouy many

The Milwaukee road Is having built. at

which will make them about the most re-

Contrary to the usual custom, these ore
cars are to be built of wood, and though
they will be Of extraordinary capacity,
will be unusually light. They are being
made for loads Of 100000 pounds, with an
overload capacity at 10 per cent, bringing
the total capacity Of the cars up TO no.

pounds each and will be q feet AZ inches

For wearing qualities they have by

SERVANTS PAY IN MANY LANDS.

On all sides complaints loud and deep
are heard as TO the scarcity OF servants.
and various remedies, more or less prac
tical, have been suggested for the allevia-
ton of the housewives troubles. says the
Philadelphia North American.
The Importance OF Chinese servants has
been suggested. but this seems an inn
probable solution of the difficulty. or
course the trouble really arises from the
extraordinary spread of education during
the last few years and the preference of
young women TO enter a more indcpend-
ent sphere OF action In shops and houses
OF business than to confine themselves 10

In England Il may be taken that the
average of wages of a general servant are

times less, but this seems u fair price

a like sum. In Russia, Sweden, Denmark
and Norway the average may be put
down at $50 a year. and a like amount Is
"a fair estimate for Italy.
