zee COMMISSION BLAMED.
The First Vice President of the Louisville
s. Nashville Road Says Rate Cutting
Could Have Been Stopped.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 3.-That the
interstate commerce commission is
itself to blame for the rate cutting
which it condemns in its last annual
report is the claim made by Walker
D. Hines, first vice president of the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad COM
pany, in a pamphlet which. he has
just issued. He says: "The commits
sion has not only failed to devote it's
time and energy to discovering and
prosecuting violations of the law, but
it has by its supineness acquiesced in
and encouraged them, and has done
all in its power to break down the
force of the act and make it a dead
Letter by constantly proclaiming that
the courts have made its enforcement
impossible, whereas, not single de-
cisiOn has impaired the commissions
power to prevent rate cutting

Pretty Features OF some Of the New
est Costumes of the Current
Season.

A three-piece set for spring wear
consists of a large white chiffon boa,
muff and hat, each decorated with a
touch of black velvet. On the boa
there are black satin roses.
Rhinestones and black jet, separate
~ or in combination, are the orna-
ments on the latest trimmed hats.
Long gloves have become popular,
and are worn with reception costumes.
These gloves are made of glace as well
as suede, and the long wrists are
drawn in wrinkled effect up over tight
ly fitting sleeves. They are much
worn with all-black costumes.
Already spring parasols are in the
stores, and women who are ahead Of
time in making their. spring gowns
can find parasols to match any color.
In these the white and black effects

Antique lace and embroidery form
the trimmings of the up-to-date wom-
ans costume. This fashion comes
from Paris, where reproductions of old
designs and colors are worn by those
who do not possess choice pieces as
heirlooms. Antique embroideries,
even if damaged by time, are much
coveted.
A simple yet popular adornment for
the neck is a broad straight band of
velvet. Sometimes color to COM
bine with the costume is worn, but
usually the band is of white or black.
This may be studded with real or imi-
tation gems, wrought into floral de-
signs with the aid of gold thread, or
decorated in any way fancied by the
wearer.
The craze for old-fashioned things
shows itself again in the little reti-
cules, almost square in form, that ac-

antique silk daintily embroidered or

make them also of materials to match
their gowns, and some of the finest
ready-made costumes have reticules

A favorite costume for evening wear
is made of black lace with incrusta-

original ideas may be carried out in
this way. Black lace on white tulle is
also popular. ball gown in this COM

Straight-front corsets have been so
universally worn that their populari-

the manufacturers, who are putting
the finest satins and brocades in their
construction; $3.50 is not considered
an unreasonable price for a pair in
either of these materials.

TAFT'S TESTIMONY.
The Governor General of the Philippines
Continues His Account of the COndi-
tiOns in the Islands.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Gov. Taft con-
tinued Saturday his statement con-
corning conditions in the Philippine
archipelago before the senate commit
tee upon the Philippines. He resumed
his account of his last years tour of
the provinces. He said that next to
Manila, Cebu came nearer to being a
city in point of population and man
ner of improvement than any other
place in the archipelago. The island
of Cebu, he said, is the most densely
settled of the group. It had been a
question whether or not civil gov
eminent should be established in
Cebu, for just before the arrival of
the commission the insurgents had
been drifting into the capital site, but
people had insisted and the organiza-
ton had been effected.
Speaking generally, Gov. Taft said
there were no roads in the Philippine
islands under the Spanish, but that
since the establishment of American
control $1,OOO,OOO had been appropri-
ated for road improvements, both for
strategic and commercial purposes.
Most of the towns are upon the sea
coast and the greater part of the
travel for any distance is by boat.

TREATMENT OF CONSUMPTION.
How to Take Care of Patients In .
Sensible Manner at
Home,

The treatment of consumption
may be properly classified as the
hygienic. It is fair to presume that
the search for specifics is not yet
done, nor likely to be given up, but
the patients safety probably does
not lie in that direction, says the
Medical News. The most noteworthy
feature in the reports OF recent
studies is the uniformity of success
under climatic conditions the most
diverse. We may safely feel that we
are not of necessity bound to any
climate OF altitude. The patient
must live out-of-doors. Next to good
there must be an abundance. The
patient should be steadily encour-
aged to eat more than he wants.
Cream and butter should be intro
duced into as many dishes as posi-
bic. The third feature is good rest.
It is a good rule for the patient to
take no exercise until there is no
fever. All sources of excitement and
worry should be eliminated. The
patient should sleep as much as he
chooses. The fourth factor is good
cheer. The moral influences sur
rounding the patient are all-impor-
tant. Medicines from the shop real
ly do not enter as a necessary part
into this plan of treatment. The
various symptoms may, however, be
treated by the we1l-known remedies
The ordinary hygienic rules should
be carefully observed. All cases,
even the most desperate, are suit
able for this home treatment.

WAR TAXES TO GO.
House Ways and Means Committee Decides
Bin That Win ReduceReVenues
S77,OOO,oOO a Year.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The house
committee on ways and means has
unanimously authorized Chairman
Payne to report bill repeating all
the Spanish war revenue taxes except
the tax on mixed -four.
The repeal is to take effect July 1,
1902, except the duty on tea, which is
to take effect January l, 1908. Chair
man Payne made a statement show
ing that the total reduction would be
$77,O0o,G0O annually. The delay in the
repeal of the tax on tea is for the
purpose of enabling the holders who
have stocks on hand to dispose of
them before the repeal takes effect.
Mr.. Payne says the country will start
upon the next fiscal year with $174,-
100000 available cash.
An amendment was offered by Mr..
Newlands to except from the repeal
the tax on petroleum and sugar re-
fners, and Mr.. Richardson, to repeal
the customs duties on trust-made
goods. Both were defeated by party
votes. Mr.. Newlands' amendment al
so provided for a tax of one-tenth of
one per cent. on the gross receipts
of all corporations whose annual re-
ceipts exceed $1O,O0o.000.
The repeal will affect the remain
ing special taxes imposed by the war,
viz: On bankers, brokers, grain deal
ers, pawn brokers, customhouse brok-
ers, theaters, museums, circuses, ETC.,
billiard rooms and bowling alleys,
playing cards, dealers in and manu-
fact11re of tobacco The reduction on
fermented liquor will amount to 60
cents per barrel; that on tabacco and
snuff will be three cents, bringing the
rate back to six cents per pound as
before the war.

IT'S A QUEER MIXTURE
Judge Tuley. in Appointing "a Receiver for
DOwie's Lace Industries. Comments
the ''ZiOn'' Religion.

Chicago, Feb. Judge Tuley has
ordered a receivership for the Zion
lace Industries. Elmer Washburn will
be appointed to the position of re-
ceiver, under bond of 100000. The
court, in a lengthy decision of the
case, which was instituted by Sam
uel Stevenson, a brother-in-law of
John Alexander Dowie, declared that
Dowie's church, the Christian Catholic
church, was a curious mixture of re-
ligion and business. He held that
Stevenson had, by undue influence
eXerted by Dowie, head of the church,
been led to turn over to Dowie prac-
tically everything he had, and held
that Stevenson was entitled to at
least 100000 from Dowie or the lace
industries, which he said were prac-
tically the same thing.

PLACE FOR JOHN ALBUs.
Turned Down for Postmaster at St. Joseph,
the President Names Him for Sur
veyor of Customs.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The president
Thursday appointed John Albus, Jr.,
surveyor of customs at ST. Joseph,
Mo-, to succeed William L. Beuchle.
Albus was candidate for postmaster
Mt st. Joseph, but the president named
A. w. Brewster, whom he had met on
his western campaign tour in 1900 and
for whom he formed a high regard
personally. The appointing of Albus
to a position which pays as much sal
airy as postmaster ($3,5Oo Year,
rather discounts the argument that
any faction of the party was respon-
sible for Brewster's selection as post
master.

ALL THREE CAUGHT.
Escaped Murderers and Faithless
Wife of Warden Shot Down.
Edward and John BIddle, Who Got Out OF
Pittsburg Jail by Aid of Mrs. Peter
SOrel, Retaken Only After
Desperate Struggle.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. Edward
Biddle dying in the Jail at Butler,
John BiddIe riddled with buckshot
and in a precarious condition and
Mrs. Peter K. Soffel lying in the hos
pital with a self-inficted bullet
wound in the breast is the sequel OF
the sensational escape of the Biddle
brothers from the Allegheny county
Jail, aided by Mrs. Soffel, the wife of
the Jail warden, on Thursday morn
ing.
When the officers who were after
the fugitives. got within about 60
yards of the fugitives they opened
fire. The Biddles promptly answered
with shotgun and revolvers. When
Ed Biddle fell and Mrs. SoffeI saw
she was about to be captured she
fired a bullet into her breast. An ex-
animation by physicians show that
she will recover, as the bullet was de-
Elected by her corset and the wound
is comparatively slight.
After the Biddles fell to the snow
covered ground the officers picked up
the apparently lifeless body of Mrs
Soffel and the Biddles and took them
the stolen sleigh, patched-up harness
and worn-out horse that the trio had
made use of in their flight.
Their Sensational Escape.
Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 31.-Edward
and John Biddle, awaiting execution
in the county Jail for the murder of
Thomas d. Kahney, a grocer of Mount
Washington, overpowered guards at
four o'clock Thursday morning and
escaped. Both prisoners had been pro-
vided with saws with which they cut
the bars in their cells. One of the
Biddles called to James McGeary, who
had charge of the outside gates, and
asked for some medicine in a hurry,
saying his brother was dangerously
sick. McGeary fastened to the cell
with the medicine when John Biddle
sprang through the opening in the
cell and Selling the guard around the
waist, hurled him over the railing to
the stone floor beneath a distance of
16 feet. Edward Biddle joined his
brother Immediately. They shot the
two remaining guards and taking the
keys from the unconscious McGeary,
opened the outside gates and breathed
free air.
Then it was that Warden Soffel
made a sensational revelation. He
said his wife had carried saws and re-
volvers to the Biddles and aided in
their escape. She deserted her hus-
band and four children and fed with
the desperadOes, taking her best
clothes with her. He said she was in
fatuated with the handsome desner-
ado, Edward Biddle.
