LAW ON JOINT RATES
Apparently Not Settled by Courts
Decision
SAYS A. +. CLARKE OF n. 8 ST. !.
According to Repotrs New Tim De-
-. cision L. Based Upon
Minor Points.

Albert E. Clarke, general solicitor for
the Minneapolis G. St. Louis Railroad
company, says that, judging from the
newspaper reports, the United States su-
preme court, in its decision in the New
UlIn coal rate case, has not passed upon
the important question Of the right OF the
state railroad commission to compel two
or more roads to make Joint rate, but
has been content to decide the case on
minor points. Mr.. Clarke says:
Accepting the o a report OF the de-
cision in the New Ulm rate case as complete,
the important question on which the Mime
Rpois & st. Louis Railroad company has for
several years sought final decision has not
been passed upon. That question is the
right Of the state to compel two or more roads
TO make joint rate for the transportation OF
freight. This question was presented to the
United States supreme court in the HanleE
Falls "Y'' case after having been passed upon
by the state supreme court. The United
States supreme court held that the question
was not necessarily involved in that case.
and made its decision on other grounds. IL
was again presented in the New Ulm rate
case, but. Judging from the press reports OF
the decision, it does not appear to nave peen
passed upon. The reports say that the court
held that as the roads were operating upon
the same basis before their rates were re-
duced, 1t was legitimate to make the reouc-
tom apply to ALL If this is correct. state
ment OF the decision, it is OF little importance.
I cannot, however, express an understanding
opinion until receive a certified copy OF the
decision.
Traffic men and attorneys are much in
terested In the case and several have
wired for complete copies of the decision.
The right of the state to compel two or
more railroads to enter into joint rate
has long been a bone of contention be-
tween the railroads and state railroad
commissions.
The present litigation has been on for
FIVE years When the law was first passed
the st. Paul &, Duluth and the Minneapo-
lis & St. Louis had joint coal rate IN
effect. Previous to the attempt OF the
state to compel a lower rate and also TO
Ak the division of the joint rate between
the two roads, the Minneapolis st.
Louis withdrew the rate then In eHect.
It then took the stand that the commits
sion could not compel it to enter into
4oint rate with any road, because tnat
would be invasion of contract rights.
Lawyers think it is possible that the su
prenle court. has recognized the fact that
the Joint rate already existed. and that
the decision merely recognizes the right
OF the state to reduce unreasonable rates
without touching upon the point OF
original control

MERGER REPLICATIONS
y. S. Files Replies to Defend
Answers in Merger Case.

answers III IuSIScI SasS'
United States District Attorney M. D.
Purdy, on behalf Of the government, has
filed replications to the answers of the
defendants in the. merger suit brought by
the government; against the Northern Sc
curities company, and the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railway COM
panies. The replications in all the
cases were the same and asserted that
the government would prove it's bill
against the defendants as true; that the
government would reserve any and all ad-
vantages OF exceptions which might be
taken to the errors of the defendants;
and denied generally the points contained
in the answers and asserted that no spe-
cifc reply could be made because the
answer of the defendant was uncertain,
evasive and insufficient in law to be re-
piled unto by this replicant.'
The next step in the suit will be the
appointment Of an examiner, who will
take the testimony. This examiner will
be in New York city large portion OF
his time, as most of the testimony will be
taken there. :
The case itself will probably come tc
trial in September If the expectations Of
Mr.. Purdy are realized.

Coiored Globes Are Passing

Those huge glass bulbs OF red and
yellow and blue water, which are call
ed show bottles, are gradually ceasing
to be a feature Of the decorations of
druggists windows. In the past they
were as necessary to every drug store
as a red and white pole is to a barber
shop, but they have not, as the pole
has, a well-defined history.
All that druggists know Of them Is
that they have always been used as
window ornaments. The brilliant
liquids hat they contain are made
cheaply and plainly of chemicals and
water. =
Thus, a solution of copper and am
monia makes blue; biehromate of pot
ash makes orange; aniline dyes have
of late been used in the chemicals
place, but the liquids fade in a strong
sunlight, and have frequently to be re-
newed. The liquids colored chemical
iy, on the other hand, last wellnigh for
ever.
In the drug store at the southwest
corner of Broad and Spruce streets
there is a show bottdle of a very clear
and delicate. shade Of green. This is a
green so fine that many druggists have
asked for the recipe that makes it.
This, unfortunately, is unknown.
A clerk in the shop twenty-five years
ago coloreI the water and filled the
bottle, and a little later left for I'M
known parts. Preserved only by a
cork of cotton from the air, the liquid
has ever since remained as brilliant as
1t was in 1877.
There are, indeed, many show bottles
In this city whose contents are from
twenty-five to fifty years old.-Phila-

Making a Piece of News.

A good live piece of news may often
be made by accident. Readers of Bar
rie's novel, "When a Mans Single"
will recall the telegraph editor who
thought a dispatch beginning 1.-THE
Zulus have taken umbrage" referred to
the capture of a post and gave Umbrage
the benefit of a capital. A dispatch In
the Ottawa Evening Journal, dated
"Dauphin, Man., June IS" and an
nouncing the result of the voting in
the Kinistino district in the territorial
elections, states: "As q result OF the
vote, Meyers and Mott Shadd, a negro,
have been elected for the constituency"
1t should be, of course, Meyers and
not Shadd." In this case the wide
awake telegraph editor in the Ottawa
Journal office added: 'Shadd is the
first full blooded negro to be elected to
a legislative body in Canada" And he
headed it up: "First Negro to Sit In a
Canadian Assembly" Mott Shadd Has
Been Elected in the Territories

lPOStOffice IS
Under Two Flags

1.-The most curious postof1ce in Amer
fcav Is the n which stands In Beebe
Platine, a town half In Vermont and
haYf In the province of Quebec, Canada.
The old postofice was built about
sey1enty-ive years g exactly on the
iinf between the United States and
Cahada, so that 1t stands in two coun-
trips and serves in the postal service
Of 1.-TWO nations.
1Vhe cellar of the building connects
.theA two countries and some years ago,
whfn the postoffice was a general store,
whisky was known to be sold in one
country and delivered In another with
OUT ever having gone out from under
theD roof of the old structure.
This combination postofiee is now
being run by parent and child, the
father being postmaster for Canadian
Quebec, and the daughter postmistress
forI Vermont.
STANDING in front of this strange post
offife is a large post. which marks
theA boundary line, and it is said that
onel time a man who wanted to get
- %IOoN"oy ~ hIo pi tl1iSto HlON Gu l4lo
post, and many thousands of dollars
and not little time were spent to es-
tabpish the exact line again.
Until a short time ago a very pecu-
liaIS postofice was used in Argyllshire,
England. 1t was situated in the lonely
hills between Drimnin and Barr, three
miles from any habitation, and con-
sisted of a simple slit in a rock, closed
up lby a nicely-ftting stone.
When any letters arrived at Drim-
nint for the district of Barr they were
conveyed to the rock by the first shep-
herd or crofter going so far. Having
beep dropped in and the slit closed,
they were left until a shepherd or croft
ter from the other side happened to
come along, when they were taken up
and delivered at their destination. No
letter was ever known to be lost at
this primitive postoffice.
At Burra, Shetland, an old tin can
lister madssss'yater-tight with news
papers and pitch, was once picked UP
on the shore. 1t contained ten letters,
with the correct cash for postage.
With these was also a letter for the
finder, urgently requesting the post
ing of the accompanying missiyes, as
they were important business commu-
nications. After the letters had been
carefully dried they were at once post
ed to their destination, which theN
reached without further adventure.
