Rev. H. N. Miller of Newark, Ohio,
thinks a man can preach as good a
sermon in his shirt sleeves as with
his coat on. Last Sunday evening he
appeared in his pulpit wearing quite
natty shirtwaist. He prefaced his
sermon with few remarks on the in

that it would not be considered a
breach of etiquette for the men in the
congregation to remove their coats,
Many of the men present acted upon
his suggestion.

Duties of the Chinese Emperor.

In his capacity of High Priest, the
Chinese Emperor has to offer at least
forty-six sacrifices to different gods in
the course of year. AS to each sac
rifice is dedicated one or more holi-

complete solitude, his time is pretty
well taken up. These sacrifices are
made by the Emperor either by night
or about dawn, and the houses along

The coal miner kicks because he is

The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1902-08-16

At the Topeka office of the Santa Fe
there are between 5000 and 1900 freight
tariffs on file. OF these. 1,5O0 are pub
locations Of the Santa Fee itself. and
the rest are the tariffs of foreign lines
which the Santa Fe uses in its ratings.
At the present time. the tariffs are filed
in huge stub books. each book being
planned to hold IA tariffs. Every day
there are amendments and new circu
lars coming in which must be Sled in
these books. To file these new tariffs
in their proper places, and fasten them
there with brass fastenings takes the
entire time of one man every day. There
are PA books in use at the Topeka Of
flee, and they cost $1-50 apiece. The life
of the book is very short, owing to the
rough and continual usage which it
gets.
Every day the Santa Fe itself issues
about rs new tariffs or amendments to
old ones. These must all be fled. 1t
also receives from rs to 100 new tariffs
from foreign lines, and these must also
be filed SO that they can be located.
Every tariff and every amendment to
that tariff must have its particular
place.
Mr. Cooks invention is a filing case
for these voluminous freight tariffs 1t
does away with the bulky stub books,
and puts the tariffs in such shape that
they are easily accessible, and makes it
possible to file all the new tariffs each
day in about two hours time.
1t is also proposed to have such a fill
ing case not only in the general offices,
but in every local office on the entire
system. This will enable the local sta
ton agents all along the line to keep
an accurate file of their tariffs and will
relieve them of the necessity of tele-
graphing in to the Topeka office to get
rates. Fifty such kilograms are receiv-
ed every day. The number of tariffs
kept at each station varies with the size
of the stations. Some stations can get
along with half a dozen tariffs, that be-
ing the extent of the variety of COM
modities shipped out and in. The av-
erage number of tariffs required a t each
station is about $50 1t is generally un-
derstood that each tariff applies to some
particular class of goods.
The Cook filing case, when ready for
the market. will consist of a collection
of filing frames like the one shown in
the accompanying Illustration. Each
frame has a wooden back. with wire
racks attached. Each rack is labeled
and numbered for some particular
tariff. The tariff and its accompanying
amendments are enclosed in a heavy
paper folder and placed in the rack.
They are not bound together. the folder
holding them in place. The frame will
slip into a case on rollers, which holds
1T in vertical position. AS the frame
is pulled out of the case, it can be
turned on a pivot so that all of the
tariffs in each frame are exposed to
view Each frame has % wire racks
The frame is only four inches in width.
SO that great many of them can be
set up side by side in a case. About 125
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1902-08-16

frames will hold all the tariffs at the
Topeka office.
In speaking of the purposes of his in
vention Mr.. Cook says: Eighth months
ago I started in to figure out something
which would simplify the system which
we have here of filing tariffs. 1 believe
/ have suco = ded. This filing case fills
a long felt want in the freight offices.
and believe it will be generally adopt
ed by railroads.
AT a low estimate. one-third of the
time of our clerks in this Office is taken
up by hunting for tariffs in the stub
books. We are continually asked to
quote rates and the only way we can
quote rates is by going to our tariff
books. The filing case will save a great
deal of time by making all the tariffh
easy to find and handle.
I'VE believe that this filing case will
be used by all the local offices of the
Santa Fe. With a small case of files
each agent can keep his tariffs in such
shape they are some use to him. AS it
is now. an agent is afraid to quote
rates for fear he has mis1aid some
amendment to his tariffs. He therefore
telegraohs to US. and we get 80 such
kilograms a day. All this expense will
be saved
"A filing case of this nature has many
other uses, and 1 believe it can be
adapted for use in the passenger depart
ment and other departments. Several
photographers who have seen the
sample frame which / had made say
