The Beef Trust.

According TO Washington dis
patches President Roosevelt Is
about to order an investigation OF
the Beef trust. If made, such an
investigation would proceed on the
representations of the Interstate
Commerce commission, which, In
effect, are that the beef trust Is en-
joying differential rates on the rail-
roads; that Is, are being given
freight rates lower that those
given competitive beef companies
or the public generally. Such diff
terential rates stifle competition
and enable the Beef trust to put up
the prices of all meat products.
They are therefore In violation of
the Interstate Commerce law, and
both the Trust enjoying them and
the railroads granting them are
punishable under that law. A
thorough investigation would de
termine the facts.
But whether these facts would
be established or not, there are facts
which have not to be proven. The
price of meat has been advanced
until 1t Is almost prohibitive to
families of moderate means. In
every large city of the country,
high prices have constituted meat
luxury beyond the re'ch of the
poor. In New York, sales have
fallen so low In some of the small
retail shops that their proprietors
contemplate closing them. Similar
reports come from Boston. Balti-
more, Washington, Buffalo, Gin.
cinnati, and other cities including
even Chicago. A similar situation
exists Ia smaller cities and towns.
The price of Western beef effects
the price of domestic products.
The Chicago and Kansas City pack
ing houses regulate the price of
every pound Of meat product which
Is placed on the market, no matter
from what source secured. They
may not do so directly, but they
certainly do so indirectly, for the
almost prohibitive price of their
own products creates demand fol
local products greater than the sup
ply and the price of the latter goes
up In obedience to the law of sup
ply and demand. Thus the Bee
trust practically controls the whole
meat market the country over.
The price of meats effects the
price of all foods. There is always
sympathetic rise when the price
ofone principal food article Is raised
from any cause. Such a rise Is HARD

Plants Perceptive Powers.
From the London News.

Can plants see or feel? The poets
have sometimes said so, and it is, if we
remember rightly, Lamartine who in
vests an aged oak with the tender SEN
timent and the solicitude of a mother.
There is almost certainly some form of
perception in the plant which is akin
to consciousness in the animal, and
there has been going on lately con-
troVersy with regard to the position of
what has been called plant brain. At
the last meeting of the Linnaean So
ciety Mr.. Francis Darwin showed that
a plants sensitiveness of gravity, for
instance, lies in the very tip of the root
BY putting tiny glass slippers upon the
tips of bean roots Mr.. Darwin obtained
the following results: AS the roOtlet
grow it's tip was guided by the smooth
glass around the corner of the slipper.
But here is the extraordinary conse-
quence. The rootlet being forced to
grow at right angles to gravity, 1t
forced the glass around, so that while
the tip grew into the slipper it went all
ways toward the center of the earth.
When the glass slipper was fixed the
bean itself turned about in vain eff
fort to bring the tip into a vertical d.
rection, and as this was impossible,
continued to turn and turn, twisting
itself into a grotesque corkscrew.
But a still more extraordinary in
, stance of plant perception is supplied
by a correspondent of the Journal of
Greengrocery, whom we have to thank
for what is at least a good story. He
states that he was seated outside his
house, with his foot against a pillar
round which convolvulus was twined.
The tendrils to his surprise. began to
move, and in half an hour were begin
ming to curl around his foot. He re-
solved to try an experiment and on
the following day set up a pole twelve
inches from the nearest tendrils, and
at the back of the pillar, so that it
could not be said that the plant vas at
tracted by the light. Within three
minutes the tendrils began to move to-
ward the pole, and in a few hours were
curled round it.

marvelousiy as does Queen Alexandra.
50 hospitable is this countess and so
pleasing her manner that it is said she
wins first the acquaintance and then
the friendship of every person worth
knowing who visits England. She even
persuaded the unsociable Cecil
Ri odes to visit her al Warwick Castle,
the critical Marie Coreli adores her
and Lady Warwick boasts that she
never saw the American whom she
could not win to complete friendship in
half an hour. Lady Warwick is no re-
spector of money or blue blood as
claim to her liking and hospitality, and
her tiny London drawing room is filled
with people whose clever minds, inter-
esting achievements, or charming per-
sonality have recommended them to
her favor.
The Countess of an Aged Earl.
Lady Annesley is an Irish beauty
whose dinner invitations are regarded
in London society as though they were
prizes. She is the young wife of the
aged Earl of Annesley one of the few
rich Irish peers, and socially she is
most ambitious and successful. She is
one Of the few close friends of Queen
Alexandra, and, unlike Lady Winborne
ard the Warehouses of Londonderry,
the other two most famous dinner host
esses she never gives what are called
great spreads" Her guests are rarely
more than twelve in number and her
menus are short. but very wonderful.
Two of the most potent and popular
ladies in London society whose enter
tainment5 are as carefully chronicled
as the Inequalities dispensed by roy
atty itself are lacking both in titles
and in great city homes. Mrs. George
Keppel and Mrs. Cecil Powney are
possessors of small houses crammed,
however, with objects of art, and they
are both the friends of royalty. The
King himself stood godfather to Mrs.
KeppePs little boy, and under the new
and exclusive regime Mrs. Powney is
invited to court quite as though she
was a duchess. Mrs. Powney, as is now
the fashion for specializing among
hostesses, gives the most perfect little
musical entertainments in London. She
is herself an accomplished violinist,
and Jan Kubelik, Jean de ResZke, etc.
come to dine or breakfast and play
and sing afterwards, quite in friend
ly way.
Mrs. KeppePs speciality is for lions
of the first magnitude. She knows
more famous folk and more royal men
and women than any other woman in
England. She does not assume to be
witty, particularly wise, nor beautiful,
but her grace of manner is said to be
so irresistible that crowned heads un-
bend in her presence, and her popu-
larity is so great that even in critical,
gossiping, enVious society she has few,
if any, enemies.

The Panama hat has also burst upon
the House, and the pioneer linen duster
of the season arrived this morning. 1t
came on the tall, well-nourished person
of Mr.. Selby of Illinois. But it is en-
tirely unlike the busters" we have
been used to seeing heretofore, being
long and black-a comprehensive Gre
alton which sweeps the carpeted floors
as it's wearer moves about. Naturally
when Mr.. Selby puts on this long,
black shroud he eliminates Il coat from
his attire, but he retains the glossy
velvet waistcoat which so becomes His
portly figure. Mr.. Gilbert of Kentucky
wore the first Panama hat to the Capt.
toll the other day, and within twenty
four hours there came a cloud of Pana-
mas. If you did not know a Congress-
mans politics or identity you could
tell at glance what part of the coun-
try he hailed from by the style of sum-
mer hat he wore. The two 'eading sec
lions were ably represented by the
Hon. Mr.. De Graffenrrid of Texas, and
Mr.. Gillette of Massachusetts. The
former locomoted on the scene under
an enormous affair with a broad and
Tapping brim, evidently costly speci-
men of Southern head-gear, though
sadly in need of starch or wiring. One
side Topped like a hounds ear, and the
other undulated gracefully as he
tramped the halls of craftsmanship.
Mr.. Gillette's hat was typically New
England, small neat, natty and ''close."
1t was spotlesslyA clean, narrow brim-
med and creased at the top.

TIL TRUB ISSUE IN THE COAL
STRIKE.

He must be confiding soul who
believes that the Presidential arbi-
tration can settle the anthracite coal
strike.
The arbitration commission does
serve an excellent purpose in allay-
ing excitement and making oppor-
tunity for calm reflection. 1t will
doubtless make an adjustment of
terms of employment which may
keep the peace for little while.
1t may recommend palliatives to
Congress and State legislatures.
In flight of optimistic magma
ton, one might almost phrophesy
its securing better treatment for
the miners, rs similar commission
might possibly have secured %
years ago better treatment for Ne
gro slaves in the District of Co
lumbia.
But the true issue will 90 unno-
ticed by the arbitration board The
relation of mining serf to feudal
lord will remain undisturbed and
unmenaced. The essential right
and wrong Of the matter will be
passed over. The irrepressible
conflict will be minimized. Like
the issue Of chatrel slavery, which
was allowed to gather momentum
until it plunged our nation into the
throes of Il bloody civil War, this
issue of economic slavery will, SO
far as the Presidents arbitration
board affects it be left to develop
it's own kind of cataclasrn.-Er.

ELIZABETH CADY STANTON.

The life of this noble woman,
which has just come to an end, is
part Of the most enduring history
of her country, and indeed of mod
ern civilization. Not only did she
live during the period when the
equality of womanhood came into
recognition, but she as much or
more than any other one person
brought about the change.
In Mrs. Stanton's younger days,
even while she was in middle life,
married women had no individual
standing before law on its civil
side. Their property belonged to
their husband and their individual
ity was altogether merged in his.
Though his right to fog his wife
had become obsolete, hisgoverning
authority remained intact. AS the
social idea of woman was as vine
clinging tenderly to her stalwart
oak of husband, so the legal idea
of her was as an absolute nOnenity.
That condition has not been wholly
altered, but it has been altered in
great degree.
Married women now own and
control their own property if they
want to, In the law, the relation
ship that subsists between them is
more analogous to partnership and
less to serfdom than in former
days; while in some States women
are even invested, with the ballot,
as they are destined yet to be in
all.
Throughout this whole move
ment Elizabeth Cady Stanton was
conspicuous. iand influential. 1t
was natural, perhaps, fighting as
she was for the withheld rights of
one sex, that the struggle should
have assumed the appearance to
her of sex conflict, just as the
anti-slavery struggle seemed to so
many of its leaders a race con-
flict. But Mrs. Stanton lived long
enough to see her cause rise to the
higher plane of a conflict not Of
sex against sex but of men aud
women who believe in equal human
rights against men and women
who do not.
