THEY GOT FREE SEATS.
An order That WAS Promptly Hon
ored at the Box once.


Once when Nat Goodwin was play
ing in Chicago two men approached
his manager, who was standing in the
lobby of the theater and introduced
themselves as couple OF actors. Their
names were entirely unknown 10 him,
and they had nothing TO show that
they were what they claimed TO be.
Accordingly he refused to give them
seats. but they were persistent. One
of the men in particular was offensive
ly so. He shook his fist under the
managers nose and demanded who II
was that dared refuse him passes.
an see Mr.. Goodwin" he declared.
"I'll see II a little whlpper snapper
like you can refuse me seats. You don't
know who we are. eh7 Well, who are
your Let's see your card. I'll see Mr..
Goodwin about It,"
The manager, who feared n scene,
handed over one OF his cards and told
the men he was responsible and quite
willing to take the consequences OF re
fusing to give them seats.
A few minutes later the two men
came back TO the theater. one Of them
bad written Pass two on the man
ayers card. He presented the card at
the box office. and II was promptly
honored. Then they went in.
When. half an hour later. the man
ayers attention was called to what
had been done, he was at first inclined
to take some severe action, but later
he saw the Joke ON himself.
"Let them alone" he said. "If they've
got nerve enough to do that. they are
entitled TO seats. You had better send
an usher down and ask them II they
wouldn't like a box."-Chicago Trib-

The oak tree under whose branches

the tree marked an inclosure then
known as Henshaw's pasture, a former
public meeting place George Hen
shaw, the owner, was Democrat. He
arranged TO have the debate there, be-
ing an admirer of Douglas. The two
candidates for United States senator
had engaged I'm series Of debates,

Hawaii's Ripping Language.

The language of the Hawaiian Is
lands, as every one knows, abounds in
vowels and therefore ripples delicious
ly I'm the mouth. II is only necessary
to pronounce such names as Honolulu,
Oahu, Kilauea, Hilo, Mauna Loa, Ka-
mahamaha and Llliuokalani to discov-
er this. A young Presbyterian clergy
man OF Brooklyn who visited the is
lands two or three years ago and pre-
pared n lecture on them on his return
declared that there was only one place
on the islands which possessed a name
lacking I'm euphony. That place was
Spreckelsville. This euphony Of the
Hawaiian tongue was productive OF
one OF the jokes of his lecture. The
first time he gave it he remarked incl
dentally that he took the steamer
Wy-ally-ally to go to the town Of Ma
willy willy" A laugh followed the re-
mark. and thereafter he always in
cluded this phrase in his lecture. 1t
invariably produced the same result
when used.-New York Tribune.

FAIR WEATHER, WITH
EIGHT DEGREES DROP
Bureau Promises Better Con-
ditions for Tomorrow.
NO INDICATIONS OF SNOW
Rainfall Has Been Severe in Northern
States-Telegraphic COmmuni-
cation Interrupted.

The rain in Washington and farther
north will cease tonight and there will
be fair weather with drop Of about s
degrees in temperature. There are no
indications OF snow whatever around this
city at least"
This was the statement made by the
Weather Bureau officials this morning.
Within the past twenty-four hours rain
and snow have fallen in almost every
State east Of the Mississippi River.
About half an inch OF rain fell in
Washington. and although the clouds
hung low and looked forbodiug. the
weather man declared that there would
be no snow here for day or two. any
how.
The rain which began to fall yesterday
afternoon was not heavy. but it was an
.incessant one. Late yesterday afternoon
and last night a thin layer Of ice form
ed on the streets and made walking dan
gerous- A number Of people fell and
received slight injuries. but no serious
accidents were reported. The tenpera-
ture in Washington has been about A.
degrees all day. It is said that there
will be a fsll Of about 10 or more degrees
in the temperature by tomorrow nom
ing. and that the mercury will dance
between the freezing point and Is de-
grees above zero.
Although the storm is not severe in
Washington. in cities farther north Il
IS doing a great deal OF damage. Rain
has fallen harder and longer in Mary
land, Pennsylvania. and New York. and
in the mountainous sections OF these
States heavy SHOWS have occurred. Tele-
graphic communication between Wash
ington and some or the large Northern
cities has been retarded because OF The
rain and accumulation Of sleet. Local
telephone users we're put to great incon-
venience throughout the day.

ARGUING CASE IN COURT

CHICAGO. Dec. 16.-Another move in
the fight Of the packers against the
temporary injunction secured by the
United States prohibiting them from

from uniting to manipulate prices Of

IN Judge GrOsscup's court.
Arguments were heard on the demur-

injunction submitted by the Government
in May. Points OF law are chiefly in
volyed. and the evidence against the
packers VIII not be brought out at
this hearing.
If the demurrer is overruled, it is
probable that the attorneys for the
packers will fail to answer the bill. and
will allow a decree to be entered
against them. This would give them
an opportunity TO appeal the case. and
carry it up to the United states Court

TRAFFIC MAN EXPLAINS
FREIGHT RATE ADVANCE
@. j. Grammer Tells Interstate Commerce Commission
That Cost of Maintenance Has Increased.

The reasons for the increase OF freight
rates by the various railroads through
out the country were explained at an
inquiry by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in the rooms OF the COM
mission this morning.
The chief cause was attributed to the
fact that the expense Of maintaining
railroads had advanced to such an ex-
tent recently that the companies were
forced to Increase the rates in order
TO conduct their business. This testi-
mouy was given by G. J. Grammer.
freight traffic manager OF the Lake Shore
and Michigan Southern, who also spoke
for the other representatives present
Mr.. Grammer further said that he
thought there was more reason for an
increase in rates than ever before in the
history OF the country. He pointed out
that the shipments of grain and other
crops had been abnormal, and that the
prices for the. products we're also alb
normal In view of this and the fact
that the cost Of maintenance was so
much greater. he contended that there
vas just cause for the advance in rates
The commissioners who heard testi-
nony we're Judge Knapp. chairman;
Judge Youman Charles a. Prouty. and
Joseph Fifer. A number OF railroads
were represented.
The hearing was begun at 10 O'Clock.
Judge Knapp in opening the conference
said that the representatives had been
summoned to furnish information con-
cerning the circumstances and reasons
which prompted the increase in freight
rates.
The general situation" said he. lis
this For the past two or three years
the freight rates Of railroads have been
showing a tendency TO Increase. accom-
panied by an increase in the volume OF
business. In that time the volume Of
traffic has been greater, and from re-
ports furnished us we believe that rail-
road operations are prosperous.
THE increase in itself is enough TO
cause public comment. While it is the
duty OF the commission to make this
investigation. II is also the duty OF rail-
roads to make any disclosures that may
throw light upon the subject"
