The railroad men insisted that the pay
ment OF commissions by steamship lines
should cease and the threat was made II 1t
did not the railroads would withdraw their
connections with the lake transportation
companies. This would mean that the tic

throw out the tickets OF lake lines and re-
fuse to sell them. That this would be a
severe blow to the lake lines Is admltteA
The general passenger agents, 1t is said,
are standing Arm on the proposition and as

cease. Neither side thus far has given
ground and the matter rests where 1t was
previous to the meeting. The representa-
tiyes of the lake lines insist that competi-
ton is sharp and that they must pay COM
missions or fail to get living business.

KINDNESS REWARDED.
Laundry Girl Made Rich by Christ.
mas Present from Sick Man.

Milwaukee, Dec. 26-For an act of
kindness performed three years ago
Miss Anna Marion Yonkers, bookkeep-
er at the White Swan laundry, has sud-
denly become comparatively rich. She
says she had received a draft for $40 900
from Charles w. Johnston, of Chicago.
a man the girl has seen only once in
her life-when she took him for a Door
man and was Kind to him.
According to her story the young wo-
man says she had no intimation at any
time that the man she knew only half
an hour on a Burlington train three
years ago would bring fortune to her,
for in the letters he wrote he only all
luded to his health.
1t was in July. 1900, while on trip to
Savanna, ILL.,. to visit the family of
Charles. Jensen, Miss Yonkers boarded a
train at La Crosse. When the train
reached Stoddard, Wis. she noticed an
elderly man., dressed plainly, mount the
steps of the car. When he entered the
door of the coach she saw that he car
ried, in addition to his grip, a cane, and
a glance at him told her that he was

who was only few feet distant, ran to
his side and offered assistance. She
helped him to the double seat where
she had been sitting and placed his grip
at his side. then she went to the other
end of the car and brought a glass of
water and in many ways made him
more comfortable.
After a time the man seemed to get
stronger and they talked.
The stranger said he was in i'll health
and was going to Chicago. He asked of
her life and plans and took her name
and address. and said he would write
and tell her # he arrived in Chicago
without mishaD.
She had to leave the train to change
cars and never saw her friend since. Six
months later he wrote her a letter. and

LOW NECKS IN TROLLEYS.
Customs Peculiar to Philadelphia
That Jar the New York Man.

Opera nights in Philadelphia are not
opera nights in New York They are
sandwiched in between. But that's not
the only difference, writes CORE
spondent to the New York Sun. who
thereupon exDounds as follows.
Suppose that you should get into a
street car I'D in Harlem some winter
evening. and that at every other corner
a party of men in proper evening
clothes. escorting bareheaded women In
opera clothes, should come aboard and
SIT shoulder to shoulder with the other
passengers, what would you think2 l.
you were a New Yorker you would prob
ably wonder what had happened to the
cab service. But If you were a Phila-
delphian you would believe for mo-
ment that you were at home again, for
that is what happens here almost every
night the whole winter long.
It's one of the customs that make peO-
pie say how much cheaper it Is to live III
philadelphia than it is to live in New
York
All over the western and northern
parts of the city there are lines of
trolley cars wriggling in and out on
their way to the center Of the town.
These are the districts where almost
everybody that is anybody owns his own
house. And owning your own house is
a greater begetter- of prudence and
economy, or perhaps it would be more
correct to say that prudence and econ
omy are great begetters of owning your
own house.
At any rate, these cheerful house own
ers sake their pleasures economically.
and enjoy them none the less for that
reason. They're nearly all fond OF the
Ihescer. and many Of them go rather
often to the Academy of Music when
the opera season is on. They dine to-
gether and dance together. and are ra-
tionaIly haDpy-but they eschew cabs.
Their women folks, however, see no
reason why they should not wear the
bright and pretty trappings that fashion
prescribes Hor evening just because they
don't choose to lavish their money on
the hire of private vehicles.

Senator Quarles urging him not to ad-

voters names and Helen Gould gave
$10,0 900 to aid them. have received pc
lite answers from many members of rne

tition for 1900 Wisconsin women. I
think thus far our noble Wisconsin rep
resentatives in Washington are in favor
of adding to the Mormon influence that
now menaces us. Brigham Young pro-
phesied he would yet have all the new
states west of the Mississippi. and our
statesmen are now realizing this peril.
