RATE WAR MAY RESULT,
All the Chicsgo-St. Pau! Lines Will Re-
duce Their Runninu Time.

Chicago, Nov. 13.-The Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul road has inau-
gurated a 10-hour schedule between
Chicago and St. Paul. The fast mail
leaving here carried a sleeper filled
with passengers and the opposite
train, which left St. Paul and Mime
apolis, carried a similar sleeper.
The new service effects a cut in
time from IS hours and 20 minutes to
10 hours from Chicago to St. Paul and
II hours and minutes from st. Paul
to Chicago.
The action Of the St. Paul officers
follows a notice sent out last week to
traffic officials of other Chicago st.
Paul lines that the company no longer
considered the time agreement be-
tween the two cities binding. 1t is
said that all the other st. Paul lines
will follow suit and that in all proba-
bility rate war will result.

TO BE REPLACED By RIFLES
Passing Of the Sabre and Lance in the
British Armv

London, Nov. 13.-The Daily News
makes the following announcement:
Owing to Lord Roberts conviction
that the sabre and lance have seen
their best days and must be replaced
even for cavalry by rifles while the
bulk of the infantry must henceforth
be mounted, the small arms committee
was instructed some months ago to
find modified form of the ee-Enfield
suitable for all arms AS result this
committee has decided in favor of
shortening the barrel five inches and
increasing the twist of the rifle in
order to compensate for the loss of
range and accuracy, adding a 10-cart-
ridge clip action. An experimental
issue of 1000 will be made soon.

ALABAMA'S CONSTITUTION.
Both Sides to the Contest Still Claim
the Victory.


Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 13.-Partial
returns from every county in Alabama
indicate that the new constitution has
been ratified by nearly 10000 votes.
The black belt counties, where the
largest majorities for ratification are
expected, have been slow to send in
returns and when the official count
is made the vote may go as high as
$4,000. All of the white counties have
practically completed the count and
they voted for the new constitution by
a small majority.
General C. M. Shelly, leader of the
opposition, claims the state will cast
a majority of at least 10000 against
ratification. He bases that estimate
on the returns from North Alabama,
which show increased majorities
against the new constitution.

SPREAD BY ANIMALS.
Discnses That Arc Common to Mcn
and Horses nnd Cows Commu-
ntcnted by the Latter

The subject of the relationship be-
tween the diseases to which man is
liable and those from which animals
suffer is very interesting and imp6r-
tant, and will well repay the study
now being given to it by physicians
and veterinary surgeons. These dis
eases, says Youth's Companion, may
he divided into three classes-those
equally affecting both man and ami
mails, these special to man, hut which
may also be caught by animals, and
those belonging to animals. but
which may attack .nnn II he comes
in close contact with the sick ani-
NAL.
OF those equally affecting both man
and animals the best known is tuber-
'ulosis. Some physicians insist that
t.:c tuberculosis of cows is not the
saioc as that of human beings, but
most are of the opinion that the dif-
ference. between the two diseases are
only such rs might be expected to eN-
ist in view of the vital differences be-
tween the two clnsses of beings.
Another disease common to mon
'''' soiAt ~ III
his case there seems 10 he more diff
ference between the disease in man
smallpox. and that in animals
cowpox and horscpox. Yet that the
two affections are closely related is
shown by the protection against
smallpox that is afforded us by moe
ulntion with cowpox. or vaccination.
Diphtheria and scnrlet fever are
shared with us by various animals,
and II has been asserted by certain
Engl sh phy7icians that these diseases
may be conveyed to children in thr
milk froTs sick cows. However this
may be, there is little doubt that cats,
rabbits ard perhaps other domestic
animals. can acquire diphtheria from
sick children. and can in turn trans
init 1t to healthy children.
The plague is n disease common to
man. monkeys md rodents. and is so
equally shared by them that no one
knows whether it was primarily hui
man disease or n rat pest.
Among the diseases belonging es-
pecinlly to animals. but which may
also be contracted by men. are hydro
phobin, anthrax or malignant pustule,
Some of the parasitic skin diseases
are also transmissiblc from men to
animals, and the reverse. a very
common example of this is ringworr,
which is not infrequently introduced
among the children Of family by
the cat.
