FIGURING ON TARIFFS
EXPERTS ARE COMPARING OLD
AND NEW RATES.

Statistician Thomas Yapp, ]. A. Sar-
gent and ]. B. Baird, of the Great North
ern, were busy all day yesterday, com
pairing the new freight schedules recently
filed by the roads with the ones in effect
prior to the publication of the new rates.
Messrs. Baird and Sargent were sent
by their respective roads at the suggestion
of Counsel General Bum, of the Northern
Pacific, to consult with Mr. Yapp and
figure out the increase that Mr. Staples
stated existed at the time of the hearing
Friday morning.
The railroad officials were not sure that
Mr.. Yapp had figured the rates correctly.
and thought that by a conference the
matter might be brought to a satisfactory
basis. The task is a big one, and it
will probably be several days before the
result can be announced The commits.
sion will make no order in the terminaa
tariffs until after the experts have re-
ported.

NEW SERVICE STAYS
CHICAGO LINES HAVE NO INTEN
TION OF TAKING OFF TOU-
RIST CARS
TRAVEL HAS BEEN LIGHT
Pullman Company Said to Object
StrenuOus1y to the Rate Cut
ting-General News of
Railroads.

The story in Minneapolis morning pa
per yesterday to the effect that the lines
operating tourist sleeperS between here
and Chicago would discontinue this ser
vice, was denied yesterday at the local Of
fees of all three Of the roads interested.
In the first place, the officials say, the
service has not been in operation long
enough to give any indication as to
whether or not 1t will pay, and in the
second place officials say, even If they
are to be abolished, it will not be until
the first of May.
The story stated that the Pullman COM
pany had forced the Omaha and Great
Western to take the step. OF course If
the service does not pay that will mean
that 1t does not affect the business Of
the Pullmaus in the least, and that COM
pany would not care whether they were
continued or not. If this proves to be
the case the roads will undoubtedly take
them off Of their own accord.
AS far as the Milwaukee is concerned,
the matter of running tourist sleepers is a
personal affair with the company. They
operate their own cars, and If the travel
warrants 1t the service will be continued
1t does not seem plausible that the
Great Western, which introduced the
service, would discontinue it after the two
other roads had taken it up, for any rea-
son, except that 1t does not pay. And
then again, the Omaha and the Gre M
Western would not take off the sleepers
as long as the Milwaukee continued them,
and the Milwaukee will continue them
during the months Of March and April.
The truth of the matter it, that as far
as can be ascertained at this time, the
cars have not carried any extraordinary
number of passengers. In fact, the travel
on them has been exceedingly light. 1t
IL. 49,
service Is responsible for this. However,
it is safe to say that as long as the Mil
waukee operate the cars the other roads
will do so, and further that the Mlwau-
kee will operate them as long as the
service pays.

Of the mileage bureau of the Western

next Tuesday to consider the proposition
to Increase the. mileage on interchange
able tickets from 1000 miles to 5000
1000 miles Individual mileage books to

This is to prevent individual roads from

used impatently) was deprecated
among children. The good mother al
ways said ".Anral was the devils
mother" to discourage its use by
adolcscent lips. "By jAicus' was an
oath occasionally heard from laboring
men, servant boys and other f;TIncr
folk. "By cripes" was viewed aSkallcc
by carefully reared youth. "lIoly
Moses" was heard, but inf"cqucntly.
1t is commonly thought that the
Irish swear by the Blessed Virgin.
This is Il mistake. Many misguided
writers make Irish servant girls say,
when excited, "Howly Mother" No

The Dictionary Of Profanity.

Denis A. Mccarthy, Of Boston,
Mass, writes the following letter to
the New York Sun:
AS contribution to your discussion
Of profanity and it's substitutes let
me say that in the town of Carrick-on-
SUR, County Tipperary, Ireland, the
boys in my day always said "by
gor," on to be more exact, "be gor,"
when they felt that the occasion de-
manded an explctivc. "Be gor" was
the most innocent form Of oath. "Be
gog' was the more daring venture
into the forbidden region Of profanity.
In fact, most OF the youngsters looked
upon "be gog' as too dangerously near
the limit. The boy using ''be cog"
was really a courageous character.

The Church In Mexico.

The regular correspondent of the
Boston Herald, in Mexico, Mr.. L. l..
Guernsey, has again been writing Of
the Catholic Church in Mexico, and,
as in former letters he pays tribute
to the faith of the people, and points
to the fact that instead of being, as
many Protestant writer's assert, Il dead
or decaying institution, it is full of
vigor and progress "ln the large in
terror cities of Mexico" he says, ''the
Church is strong; it is, by common re-
port, growing stronger; slowly accu-
mulating wealth once more; etcrnally
active i'll education, i'm extending the
work of the tolerated religious orders,
maintaining hospitals and asylums,
and penetrating the highest circles
where are received with welcome the
learned and cOllrtly Jesllits No one
who knows modern Mexico can doubt
that accompanying it's Industrial fl
ancial and general material progress
is Il revival of Catholicism. You see
it in the renovation and repairs of an
cient temples, in the multiplied activ-
tiles of the clergy, regular and secular,
and in the loyal devotion of the wom-
Ell of the land"
1T is worth thinking Of" comments
Mr.. Guernsey, that in Canada, on the
north of the United States French
Catholics multiply apace and continue
steadfast in their allegiance to the
Church Of Rome and that here to the
south of the great republic the Cath
olics more than hold their own"
1t surely is worth thinking of, and
many Protestants other than Mr.
Guernsey are without doubt rejecting
upon the matter. Those of our sep
arated brethren who read nothing but
the biased reports of Pr.tcstant mis-
siomrics believe that MeXicans are
only waiting the opportunity to accept
Professionalism. They imagine that the
Church has outlivcd it's usefulness Gf
they admit it ever had any useful
ness. Mr.. Guernsey, however, an un-
prcjudiced witness, bears testimony as
above to the vitality of that Church
which has the promise of Christ him
self, that 'thc gates of hell shall not
prevail against it,"
