Filipino Women smoke Cigars.

A returned St. Paul soldier, who has
served three years in the Philippines,
says that in that country the women
smoke a great deal, but instead of
using cigarettes, they smoke long
black cigars that last five or six hours.
No wonder they have well smoked
appearance.

Weather and Crop Conditions

Central Office, State Experiment Sta
ton, New Brunswick, N. j.,
June gath, 1902.
The temperature during the week
averaged about four degrees below
the daily normal, the first day of the
week, being the warmest and the last
day the coolest. Upon this day, the
23d, the temperature fell to As degrees
at some stations. The precipitation
was unusually heavy, especially in
the extreme southern part of the
State where it very effectively broke
the long drought that had prevailed
in that section.
The following are the heaviest rain
falls reported in inches: Friesburg,
1856 (of this amount, .46 fell on the
18th and 15th); Woodstown, 609
Clayton, $50; Bridgeton, 29S: Wood
bine, 2.91; Deerfield, 1856: New
Brunswick, $50; Somerville, 2.36,
and Bayonne, g.. 16.
All varieties of truck crops have
greatly improved during the week.
Wheat and rye are ripening rapidly,
and some fields in the southern Sec
ton will be ready to cut early next
week Early potatoes are very
promising crop, and some growers
have begun digging. The curculio
and cut worms are doing considerable
injury to apples and truck in some
places; peaches and Keiffer pears
have obtained full set, while apples
and plums are dropping badly. In
the vicinity of Hilton, Essex County,
the fruit trees are so heavily laden
that thinning must be done to pro-
tect the trees.

RAILROAD DISCRIMINATION,
Meeting Of the interstate commerce
Commission at LeadviiIe.

Denver. June 22.-The News of yes
tcrday prints the following Leadville
special:
There was an all-day session of the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
l-ehdvillc. for the purpose of taking
testimony in the case of the Leadville
Board of Trade VS.. the Denver 4 Rio
tirande. the Colorado Midland and the
Colorado " Southern. Three members
OF the committee We're present: J. ID.
leomanS. former Governor J. w. Fifer
OF Illinois and c. \. Prouty.
y number of prominent railway off
cl;lls and attorneys We're in attendance
from Denver. including j. +. Nuile.
general counsel for the Rio Grande;
y. :. Hughes. general traffic manager
If the Rio Grande: s. II. Babcock.
Fred Wild .Ir.. general freight agent;
IL. Il. Rogers. general counsel for the
colorado Midland: II. c. Bush. traffic
manager of the Colorado Midland: ii.
A. johnson, general freight agent for
the Colorado & Southern.
An immense mass of testimony was
taken. showing that the rates from
Chicago and New York to Salt Lake
are considerably lower than from the
same eastern points to Leadvlle. The
merchants complained that while the
rates from Chicago to Salt Lake are
based on car lots and thus obtain the
commodity rate. the Leadville rate is
combination of commodity rate from
Chicago to Denver and then a local
class rate to Salt Lake, making the
rate to Leadville much higher
1t was shown in the case of oil cloth
that the rate per 100 pounds from Chi
cago to Salt Lake was $1.J5, and to
leadville. 500; rice. Chicago. to Utah
$1.O0. and to Leadville. S1.37. About
100 articles We're used in this compari-
son, including almost every class Of
goods included in groceies, mining ma
chinery, beer, alcohol. etc. the differ
ence between Leadville and Salt Lake
in favor of Salt Lake being from
cents to 81 per 100 pounds 1t was at
tempted to be shown by the Leadville
merchants that this discrimination pre-
vented Leadville from becoming a job
bling center. This view was evidently
entertained by the commission, as
Commissioner Prouty so expressed
himself. The railroads claim that
Leadville is not on a through line. that
the rates are based on the fact that
the Union Pacific has much shorter
line from the Missouri river to Salt
Lake and in order that the Colorado
lines may be able to enjoy the benefit
of transcOntinental traffic the rates
must be so arranged as to meet the
Union Pacific competition and also
competition back from San Francisco
The case on behalf of the Leadville
merchants was presented by George J.
kindel of Denver and C. w. Ian
caster.
The commission left tonight. stating
that decision would not be reached

PENNSY'S NEW TICKET OFFICE.
Attractive Place to Spend Money for
Travel

Perhaps as an earnest of what is to be
done for Washington in the way of elegant
railroad facilities when the proposed new
terminal station becomes reality is the
handsome new ticket Office of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, which has just been COM
pleted and is now occupied.
The office opens its doors directly onto
the most frequented corner in the city-15th
and G streets. The offices occupy the entire
lower floor Of the new Home Life building,
and the series of plate glass windows re-
fleet a red splendor from within-the ma
hogany finish and appointments Of the
rooms. Everything is colored in the deep,
rich red of mahogany, except the ceiling
and walls, which are pure white, which
makes the contrast all the more striking.
In the construction of the new building
on this corner the full width of the lot was
thrown into the office room of the Penn
sylvania, and besides having only the cor
ner room, handsome private office has
been arranged on the east side of the en-
trance to the upper floors on G street. This

PENSION LAW REVISION.
Matter Being Considered by New York
Republican Leaders.

A program for a complete revision of the
pension laws of the United States has
been announced as one of the undertakings
which the republican leaders of New York
will endeavor to put into the form of an
issue at the forthcoming state conven
ton, to be held In Saratoga beginning on
the 23d of this month.
The matter is said to be in the hands Of
Senator Platt, Senator Depew, Judge George
we Ray and Representatives Payne, Sher-
man and Wadsworth, and it is said to be
the intention of these gentlemen to secure
the adoption of a plank in the state plat
form which shall pledge the party to work
for q pension measure in Congress which
will have for its object the protection of the
United States treasury. Just how radical
a change will be advocated from the liberal
policy which has always been pursued to-
ward those who have fought for the coun-
try cannot at this time be predicted. Inc
reform, to be successful, however, will prob
ably take the form OF law whlcn VIII
deal with all soldiers alike. fixing mini,
mum and maximum rate for pensions ana
making it possible for all to get the benefit
of the act without the present personal In
convenience and delay.
This is regarded as the first step OF any
party since the civil war to make the mat
ter Of pensions q political issue, and It's
success will be watched with the greatest
interest by the politicians OF all parties in
other states. 80
The convention will be presented with
these figures in it's consideration of the sub

Office is occupied by Mr.. Colin Studds who
has charge of the ticket department of tho
company in this city. This office is likewise
furnished in mahogany. private entrance
connects Mr. Studs room with the main
ticket room. This latter room is also
divided with a mahogany partition to give
space for clerical work in the rear. The
Union Transfer Company has a cosy cor
ner in one of the bay windows.
The ticket counter Is wider and ten feet
longer than was the accommodation in the
old Office, and the space back of the coun-
ter is occupied by two handsome mahogany
ticket racks with roll-front curtains. There
is also a wide space back of the counter for
the accommodation of the agents.
1T Is the handsomest ticket office in the
country" remarked MIR. Studs, as he ran
his eye admiringly around the room today.
Its general arrangement and appointments
were planned by us, and everything Is new.
We have the entire basement floor for
store room, and that, with the larger floor
space we now occupy, makes the quarters
ample and adequate for the transaction of
our immense business"
A ticket may be purchased In the office
for any point in this country, and also to
all points reached by the ocean liners of the
Pacific. 1t Is estimated that fully 200 per-
sons go in and out of the office every hour
of the day.
