DEAR SIR: Mr.. II. II. Stephenson, Cash

''Nine years ago l painted my house with
your paint. 1t wore so well, want to use
it again.
That's nothing wonderful except for the
fact that the soft region of Pennsylvania is
pretty hard on paint with its oil, smoke and
Crime. All we see in it is that Devoe is
good for nine years sometimes. There are
thousands of people that know it, and mil
lions that don't.
There's the rub. We print for the mil
lions; we want to make paint for the mil
lions.
Mr. Cashier, do you know that Devoe lead
and zinc is worth twice as much as old-fasll-
ion painters paint, lead and Oil, and costs no
more? Is 100 per cent. a fair profit in your
business?
Three-quarters of the people paint lead
and oil mixed by hand; while the U. S. Gov
eminent use lead, zinc and Oil ground to-
gether by machinery-same proportions as
Devoe lead and zinc, The majority never
is right about anything.

DEATH OF MRS. HOLLAND
Recalls Story of " The Little Church
Around the Corner

New York, April 26.-NIrs. katherine
Holland, widow of George Holland, the
noted comedian, and mother OF Joseph
E. NJ. and George Holland, is dead IN
this city Her funeral will take place
from the Little Church Around the
Corner on Sunday
Her death revives recolecuons OF the
manner in which the famous little vine
clad house of worship became so pop
ular with actors Of this country, indeed,
to such an extent that the members of
the profession have come to look upon
it as their own.
George Holland died in 1870. Joseph
Jefferson was requested by the family
to make arrangements for the funeral.
He applied at a marble edifice in Fifth
avenue, but was told that the actor s
funeral was not desired there. There
a little church around the corner that
does that sort of thing" said the
clergyman
Then. say God bless the little
church around the corner" replied JET
ferson, and successfully applied to the
late Rev DR. George H. Houghton, of
the Church of the TRANSPORTATION.
AS result of this incident DR..
Houghton's church has since had the
good will of the theatrical profession,
and what was once a struggling parish
has become q strong metropolitan
church.

SECRET RATES.
Railroads Accused Of Violating In
junction Of the Courts.

Chicago, April 26.-The Chronicle
says: Action may be started soon to
prove that a number of railroads oper-
atiug out of Chicago are violating the
recent United States court injunctions
forbidding the making Of secret rates.
Since the injunctions were issued no
fewer than 500 notices of reduced tariff
rates have been fled with the inter
state commerce commission. It was
presumed at first that these reductions
were merely the result of putting in
effect publicly charges that had been
made secretly. It is now said that these
reduced rates were established for the
benefit of shippers and that the ship
ments were contracted for in advance.
Attorneys for the commission, it is
said, are investigating this method. and
if they conclude that the injunctions are
being violated officials of the offending
roads win be cited for contempt Of
court
