as little money as they possibly can

HERE TO HELP PROVO.
Texas Lawyer will Ask for Pardon
 of Negro Preacher.

John A. Watson, a we'll known citizen Of Cameron, Tex. reached Montgomery yesterday to assist in the work of secur- ing a pardon for Meredith Provo, the aged negro preacher. who is In the Coun- ty jail for larceny committed twenty-six years ago.
 Mir. Watson brought with him a peti- tion for Provos pardon signed by 160 cite izens of Cameron. in which town Provo lived. The petition declared that Provo had been a resident of that community twenty-five years, during which time he bore a good character for integrity, hon. esty and as law-abiding citizen. The petition certified that by his frugality and industry Provo had accumulated a competence.
 In addition to this petition Mir Watson brought with him the proceedings of a mass meeting held at Cameron in the in. terest of a pardon for Provo. At this meeting resolutions deploring and re. gretting the trouble into which Meredith l Provo had fallen in Alabama were adopt. l cd. These resolutions certified to Proyo's l good character and rrayed for his par. l don by Governor Jeiks. These papers will be presented to Gov. | ernor Jelks Friday on his return to the Capitol. The State Board of Pardons has
 already recommended to the Governor
 that Provo be pardoned.
 MT. Watson, who is a weli known Tex
 as attorney, formerly lived in Pike Coun. | ty. He left yesterday on short visit | to his relatives in that County.

Arc Rates Too LoWP

Despite the fact that the net earnings of the railroads as whole never were SO large as during the past year. many of the men at the head of transportation companies believe that it is an opportuhe time to make a marked advance III ralcs without creating undue opposition "A well known traffic official, says The St. Louis Globe Democrat, made the tolio"- ing statement: Tt Is true that we are enjoying prosperous times, and that the business outlook is very promising, but the prosperity brings with 1t mingled emotions of joy and regret. It has been impossible for the railroads to raise their rates, and 1t has also been impossible TOT them to devise any ways or means TOT buying their supplies at anything Ike the prices they paid two or three years ago. Steel rails have advanced from SIS per ton to $28; all kinds of iron and steel have gone up in price from 33 l-3 to LOO per cent, while the cost of labor lumber and everything that railroad buys has been advanced approximately. This all comes out of the earnings of the rail- roads
 "I have always contended that the transportation service Of the country was in every sense a complete service, and # seems to me rather unfortunate that. when the prices of all the commodities comprising transportation are advanced, there should not be some way whereby the transportation charges themselves could be adjusted to the change. There will be a time reached when the rail roads will either have to give the public poorer service, stop paying dividends and interest, and be obliged to reduce wages. If the unparalleled prosperity continues and no readJustment of railroad rates is narynitte1 Ot her words rates cannot permanently be kept where they are, and all of the component parts of the service rendered be substantially advanced in cost"

"sAssED BY THE CORPSE"
A Tale Said 10 Have Sprung from the
WiIds OF Pennsy1vania.

WHO'S OF
That ministers Of the gospel exchange
stories among themselves that they would
not tell their ioek is we'll known. Not that
they would be ashamed or backward to do
so, but occasion is lacking. Here Is a yarn
brought by one, gathered In his summer
vacation, and printed by the Brooklyn
Eagle. II 80 happened that a good brother
In a church In one Of the rural counties in
Pennsylvania passed to his reward and all
the community crowded to the church
funeral to hear his virtues extoIled. The
minister made most of the occasion, not
only eulogiEing the departed saint, but
entering into and discussing many details
OF his private and public life. There was
a rustic and hum Of appreciation in the
congregation when the pastor concluded his
extended remarks and took up the hymn
book preliminary TO starting of the choir
in appropriate song.
1t happened that in the gathering there
was an occasional attendant at the church
who had spiritual gifts. In fact, he pros
fessed among his acquaintance to be able
to communicate with departed spirits.
This individual. to the surprise of all
present, as he had seemed to be doEinE,
arose in his place we'll up 10 front and in a
confident voice remarked:
Il wish to state that 1 have Just had a
communication from our dear brother"
Everybody turned to hear what was to
come next.
"And / desire also to state" continued
the speaker, that he has been cogniEant OF
all that has been said here about him. He
tells me that a good many things have
been said concerning his life here below
that are not So"
The speaker sat Town and every eye in
the congregation was turned toward the
minister. That worthy seemed imperturbs-
BILE. He gathered up the hymn book again,
however, and showed some internal disturb
anee by putting 1t down again without Civ
Ing out the hymn. Finally he said;
Brethren and sisters, at hrst | thought
II best to say nothing At this point. How-
ever, II is due to you that | should Justify
myself. ! shall take back nothing. l have
said: neither shall | question the truth OF

phenomenon has been observed in all parts
Of the WORLD.
Probably few persons imagine that gla-
ciers cover so large an area as they DO.
The land surfaces which are today buried
under glacial snow and ice are supposed
to be about ASSOC square miles in eX-
tent. or more than one and one-half times
as large as the United States. This enor-
nous mass OF ice is distributed very un-
evenly over the world. and nearly all OF Il
is in the polar regions. outside OF the
perpetually frozen north and south, only
about 1880 square miles OF surface are
covered with glaciers.
Ii will be interesting TO remember that
there are two distinct types OF glacial phe-
~nomena-the Alpine and the polar. one OF
the best examples OF the Alpine type Of
glacier is seen I'm the Mer de Glace at
Chamounix. \ circle Of peaks surrounds a
depression. which is filled by compac.ed
snow and ice known as neve. This is the
reservoir. the source of the glacier. In this
depression the snow. eithe falling from
the heavens or brought by winds and avail
Rnches. accumulates to a great depth. is
transformed into neve, and begins to over
flow down the mountain side. a true glacier.
II is thus seen that the characteristic fea-
ture Of Alpine glaciers Is that they occupy
depressions in relation to the surrounding
topography.

FUNERALS IN OLD MEXICO.
street Cars for HeRrses and COmn
PeddIed from Door TO Door.

street Cars for Hearses and COfins
PeddIed from Door TO Door.
"Did you ever see a street car funeral p 4"
The questioner was a drummer for a large
eastern house and had Just returned from
an extended trip throughout Mexico, re-
Iates the Washington Post.
"A street car funeral?" the reporter re-
peated.
Yes, sir! One meets with odd sights the
moment he crosses the Mexican border, but
he reaches the climax in the City OF Mexico
itself, and from what / can learn 1t Is the
only town in the world where street car
funerals are an everyday occurrence. Flu
nerals. like all other things Mexican are
divided into two classes. Those who can
afford ~luxuries procure the hearse drawn by
four black horses, with a coaehman and q
footman, and ornamented with gold and sill
yer trappings Of every description. But
the poorer element must be content with
Just a plain, ordinary street car, with the
seats removed, a few pieces Of cheap black
cloth tackled here and there to lend a
sombeT effect, and drawn by a pair OF sun
burned but energetic mules.
when a Mexican dies the street car com
pany is Immediately notified to have a
hearse and the required number Of coaches
at a certain point on their track as near as
possible to the late residence OF the de-
ceased. The coffin is then placed upon the
shoulders OF four friends and carried from
the house to the street car pageant In wait
ing. The remains are carefully deposited on
the platform of the first car. the gaudlly at
tired mourners climb in the remaining
coaches, and the funeral proceeds In more
or less state to the cemetery. Cigarettes
are very much in evidence, and a casual
observer might well suppose from the as
cending smoke that the remains were being
cremated enrOute.
IF the mourners are extremely sorrowful
they may pull down the blinds and close the
doors, thus enjoying complete privacy. The
great objection. however, to the street car
funeral is the degree of speed that must be
maintained in order to keep the tracks
