FEMALE POLITICIANS.
How Women's Clubs Dispose of the
 "Color Question"
Chicago Record-Herald.

Chicago Record-Herald.
 People who have maintained that wo- men are not fitted for politics ana cannot be come good politicians will need 10 re- wise their opinions in the light of the proceedings of the biennial convention or woman's clubs at Los Angeles.
 The manper in which the women dis; posed of the troublesome ''color question, which threatened to disrupt the entire or- ganization, revealed the highest order ot tact and diplomacy. After much spirited discussion of the proposition to admit col ored women to the General Federation of Women's Clubs, in which many elo- ouent pleas were made for the colored race. the convention eliminated the en- tire color question by voting to throw open the doors of the federation to all women. irrespective of race or color. After opening wide the door, however. the women cleverly stopped up the holes in the inner circle in such d way as 10 make the admission of colored club in the future quite as dimcult as IL Has pecii in the past -
 The federation adopted what Is known as the New York amendment whch makes no distinction as to race or coior but provides that applications for admls- sion are 10 be referred to the Committee on Membership appointed by the Board of Directors. A unanimous vote or the committee is required to elect, ana m the event of it's failure to agree the applica- tton must he decided by the full board, inc written vote of two-thirds of which shall be necessary to elect. It is believed that no membership committee will ever care care to take the responsibility of break ing the precedents by admitting coiored club. - - the women disposed of tn, color question. They have voted to admit clubs of any color to the General Federation, at the same time devising q clever piece of com mittec machinery that is constructed tO keep out colored clubs. Who says they are not good politicians?

PROBE IN BEEF RATES.
Commerce Commission Will Take Up
 Charges of Shippers.

Chicago Taecord-Herald.
 Investigation Is to be made by the h. ter-State Commerce Commission into al. legged discriminati ations in rates in favor Of the packers and against the live stock interests. Notice was given here yester- day that the Commission would hold a
 session in Chicago May 15 when the com piaint which is made by the Chicago Live Stock Exchange will be thoroughly gone into.
 Interest was also added to the beef sit- uation by an agreement entered into De- tween executive officials of Wstcrn lines yesterday to advance the rates on dress cd meats and packing house products feet prior to June 90. 1901. will be restor- ed. This will mean an advance of at least cents per 100 pounds on local and through traffic on all packing house pro- ducts and dressed meats. A correspond ing advance will also be made on live with packing house products.
 Regarding the charge made by the Chi cago Live Stock Exchange it was learned the organization alleges beef and pack Missouri River points to Chicago for IS 1-2 cents. while the rate on live stock Is g 1-2 cents. That this has been done since the visit of the Commission here last February is denied by every trahc official of Western roads.
 When the Commission learned the San ta Fe had a contract with Swarzschild & Sulzberger to carry the products of the company for one year at rate of IS l-2 cents on seaboard traffic and g 1-2 cents on traffic destined for Chicago. and that all lines had met this. tariff. these rates were published by the various lines. La- ter the live stock rates were placed OH the same plane. and the railroad officials deny there has been departure from the open tariffs. So long as the rates nre the same 1t is contended 1t Is no ones concern what proportion of the through r@e the road accept up 10 Chicago.
 The advance in the rate proposed for July 1 will come as surprise to the packing house interest as it was thought that the lower rate would be retained after the expiration of the Santa Fe's contract.
 It was decided at the meeting that the practice of filing reduced tariffs to cover of traffic must be discontin- ued and that all tariffs of that charae- ter must be taken out so far as possible. With this, end in view meeting Of the general freight agents has been called. and it Is likely. that a general restoration of rates will follow.
 There was no attempt in the meeting to disguise the fact that reduced rates published in time to come within the law had been used as means of granting preferential rates. and 1t may later be- come a question for the Ursted States Court to decide whether this Is not a technical violation of the restraining or ders that are in force. The executive officials were amazed at the number Of reduced tariffs that had been filed. some 600 or more It was unanimously agreed that unless something was done at once rates would soon become demoralized

A VALUABLE VIOLIN.
The Daughter of Judge Chrisman Pos
SCISSOR of n Violin Worth From
$4,000 to $4,000.
Speciak 10 the Times. Democrat.

Special 10 the Times. Democrat.
Jackson, Miss, Sept. 5.-Unless all
opinions are at fault, there is fortune
in a violin in the possession of Judge
Chrisman of Canton. HI will leave, it
is reported, on Monday for Chicago to
dispose of the instrument, which is
said to be of rare make and of al
most incredible value.
The way in which the violin came
into his possession was very simple.
Mrs. Magee, of Blountville, was
Brookhaven. While there she took
violin lessons and purchased an in
strument, rather old but not notice
ably valuable. The price paid for it
was nominal. The instrument has re-
NAMED in the hands of the family up
to this time. A short time since lady
who was in school with Mrs. Magee
read an article in Northern paper
about certain make of Swiss violin
which was extremely valuable. The
article stated that the maker had only
made nine, eight of which were located.
while the ninth was still undiscovered.
1t was further stated that the genuine
article could readily be identified by
certain unmistakable marks. She sent
the article to her friend, and a COM
parison of the marks mentioned and
those on the violin convinced the
owner that it was no doubt the lost
original. Judge Chrisman, her father,
was Informed of the facts, and for
some time, it seems, attached no par
ticular Importance to them. But
short time afterward he was in Chica-
go and dropped around to the estab-
lishment of dealer in old instru-
ments and made inquiries. He was
told that the newspaper article was
substantially correct, and that the VIC
Inns ranged in value from $4,000 to
SIT 900, according to the state of pres
ervation. The judge told of the ap-
pearance of the violin in his familys
possession, and the dealer is reported
to have offered him 81, 100 for it with
out further examination. The offer
was declined, however, and it is stated
by friends in this city that Judge
Chrisman will take the instrument to
Chicago next week to dispose of it
should it prove to be the treasure
trove now believed.
