hire them out till they can get enough to
do effective work. There were only five
on the gang.

Orlando Fla. April Sin the Criminal
Court this morning Judge Butt suspended

quor law. In the remaining cases.
dozen or more, he imposed a sentence of
sixty days in Jail or a fine of 81, 900 against
each of the individuals; but suspended
sentence as to eight hundred dollars of
each fine.
In other words the parties pay two hun
dred dollars of each fine and agree to sell
no more liquor. But upon proof being
furnished to the court that they have
violated this agreement, he will compel
them to pay the remaining eight hun
dred dollars. They would also be liable to
another prosecution for the later offenses.
There seems to be quite general satisfac-
ton with the judgment of the court, and
it is believed that the law will be respect
ed hereafter.

It is given out by the New York Tri-
bune that an Indiana man has discov-
cred a method Of storing the heat
rays Of the sun. The theory is similar
to the making Of ice, only the pro-
scess is reversed. The inventor, who is
a practical and scientific man, has dis
covered a substance which is abund-
ant and cheaply produced, which will
absorb heat rays and hold them until
driven out again. The process by
which the heat will be driven out and
the composition Of the blocks are still
secret There has been one meeting Of
capitalists al which practical demon
strauon Of the process is said to have
been made. and all present were fully
satisfied that the process is practical
and that It will revolutionlze the pres
ent methods Of heating.

TIE RAILROAD coMprvr

The whole country will watch with
a great deal OF interest 'he efforts Of
Governor Won SAINT ct minnesota 10
prevent the great vailroad crmbination
in the hands Of the Northern SeCuri-
ties Company. That the contest is SO
ing 10 be a vigorous one and win prove
somewhat Of an annoyance to the
new combine may be inferred from the
fact that it is announced by the New
York Commercial .ha, James J, Hili
and f. II. Hartman are considering
the ACCESSIBILITY " retiring from the
directorate Of the Northern Pacific
Railroad in order to remove one cause
OF the objection os Western state au-
thorities to the plan cf 5he Northern
Pacific Burlington settlement. \ strict
Interpretation OF the railroad laws Of
Minnesota and Washington prohibits
any mutuality Of interest between
competing lines. Mr.. Hill being presi-
dent Of the Great Northern road is
therefore interdicted from participation
in the management OF the Northern
Pacific. which is a parallel and com
peting line. Mr.. Hartman, as chair
man OF the board Of directors Of the
Union Pacific. occupies q position very
similar to that Of Mr.. Hill. although
the Union Pacific Is not directly a
competitor OF the Northern Pacific.
II is the desire OF both Mr.. Hin and
Mr.. Hartman, however. to remove
even technical grounds Of complaint
against the agreement which is de-
signed 20 place the stock control OF the
Northern Pacific and the Great North
eru with the new s4Oo.oOoOOO Northern
Securities Company.
President Hill says that he does not
expect any serious opposition to the
Northern Pacific plan OF settlement
from the authorities OF the Northwest
ern states. He believes that as soon
as those authorities inform themselves
as 10 the actual facts there will be no
disposition shown to hamper the oDer-
alton Of the Northern Securities Com
pany. He declares that no consolida-
tion Of the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific roads is contemplated
and furthermore that no attempt at
distribution OF traffic or pooling Of
rates has been thought OF. So long as
each one Of the great Northwestern
transcontinentaI lines is operated sep
arately and in vigorous competition
for traffic. It is declared that there can
be no ground for proceedings for vio-
lation OF the statutes Of the states
traversed by these railroads"
To the average mind the question
arrises, If, as Mr. Hill states, 'vigor-
Gus competition for traffic" will be the
policy Of the roads entering into the
combine, what on earth was the COM
bine entered into for? 1t has been
heralded to the world as a settlement
Of the Northwest railroad war, and If
It IS not that what is It? It mas never
been said Of either Mr. Hill or Mr..
Hartman that they spent very much
time in forming combinations that
would result in no increase in the
revenue Of their railroad interests. and
it win take more than the statement
Of Mr.. Hill to convince the public that
It does not mean increased burdens
uDon Western traffic.
