LOVING CUPS IN DEMAND.
They Are More Popular in Summer
Than in Winter.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
'In the old times" said a leading manu-
facturer of silverware, recently, 1.-The month
of May was the time to sing the swan
song of the loving cup Now, thanks, to
the growth of outdoor sports among the
wealthy and pleasure-loving classes, we
sell more of them in the spring and sum-
mer than we do in the winter AS he spoke
he pointed to showcase in which We're
upward of 800 different designs of loving
cups for the midsummer trade. Give
years ago." he said. those would have
gone into the storeroom for another win
ter
Loving cups have been more in demand
the past winter than at any time during
my twenty-three years experience Nor
was the demand confined to the city. Our
orders from out of town agents have been
proportonately as large as our sales IN
town. 1t has been prosperous year, and
members of social and beneficial organiZa-
lions, as well as actors and managers OF
theatrical companies, have taken advan-
tage of flush times to make presents that
they might not have been able to make
three four years ago
I'VE still have to keep a supply of the
old-fashioned. plain loving cups with three
earlike handles-no more. no less. Digni-
fed bodies, like boards of directors. or
church trustees will have nothing else
And they always want a plush lined case
usually purple, to go with the cup. 1t
seems to be their idea that loving cup is
intended only to be exhibited on the family
sideboard.
college societies and sporting clubs
after something new and original all the
time. Many college societies have copy
righted their design for a loving cup. and
give one to every member as he gets mar
ried. We have sent three to a Yale society
this spring. One of them. was on exhibit
ton In the window, and young woman
from western seminary called in to have
one made exactly like 1t for presentation
to a cIassmate. She quite indignant
when told her the design was copyrighted
and that the firm was not at liberty to
duplicate it outside of the college require
ments. 1t is quite artistic cup, Orna-
mented with scroll and snake. and costs
$3.50.

1t has caused a fight in Congress and much

Arthur Flanagan. a negro, was put to
death today in the electric chair in Sing

Arthur Flanagan killed Keeper Hugh Nc

Cause of Flat Wheels.
From the New York Times.


Flat Wheel growled the old railroad
brakeman, as the trolley car in which he
sat went humping along at twelve miles
an hour, shaking the passengers uncomfort-
ably at every revolution of the wheels.
What makes fat wheels?" asked the
man sitting next the old brakeman.
Darn FOOLS" said the brakeman. IT'S
this way: If a man doesn't know how to
stop his car he makes a fat wheel. On the
steam roads some brakemen fiatten a wheel
every time they put on the brakes. When
the wheel suddenly stops revolving and the
momentum of the train carries 1t on, the
wheel slides along the track and fiat is
started. (. Next stop. perhaps, makes it
worse, and so the thing goes until the wheel
is no good. If brakeman knows his busi-
ness he neeed never make a fiat wheel I'M
less he has to stop suddenly to avoid an
accident. If he keeps his wheels turning
slowly they don't fiatten- Now these fell
lows on the trolleys take no care at ALL
and every other car in some places has =

another battle in the hills is likely.
Dewey and the other men were taken
from the o. K. ranch, unknown to the set

NEW UNION STATION
WoRKMEN TAKE FIRST STEP To-
WARD CONSTRUCTION.
Fence Keeps Public Away From Base
of Operations on the
Tunnel

The first step toward the actual con-
struction of the new Union depot and it's
approaches has been commenced, and the
work will go on without interruption. 1t
is estimated that it will require four years
to complete the structure. Several days
ago the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
let the contract for the construction of
the South Capitol street tunnel, which is
to pass under Capitol Hill, to the firm of
Drake & Stratton, contractors, and these
men have lost no time in getting their
force of employees to work The first to be
done is the erection of a fence about fifteen
feet high from South Capitol street east
to about I'd street. The workmen have
been so rapid in their work that after about
a day and a half they have the fence erect
ed along the best part of the block between
South Capitol and 1st street east. The
fence is being placed along the parking
on a straight line to the east, from point
about fifty feet north of the present rail-
road tracks at South Capitol street. The
tracks curve to the south at THIS point.
which is the beginning of the New Jersey
avenue freight and car storage yards
A side track is being laid from the present
tracks of the Pennsylvania road at South
Capitol street and will probably be ex,
tended as the excavations for the tunnel
are made. AS yet there has been no ex-
cavating and this cannot go on until the
Instructions in the vicinity have been
cleared away.
Strengthening Sewer Pipes.
Workmen have been engaged in strength
ening the sewer pipes and water mains for
some time past, and manholes nave
been placed along South Capitol street and
Canal street The contractors do not
know exactly when they will begin exca-
waiting for the tunnel. Travel will be
stopped through LIST and I'd streets south
arHS inc he
construction of the tunnel.
Steps toward the clearing of the ground
for the erection of the station building will
be taken Thursday, when an auction sale
will be held to dispose of eighty-four brick
and frame houses which now incumber the
site of the station and it's approaches.
The sale will be held Thursday morning at
IL o'clock and the houses to be disposed of
lie along 1st, I'd, E. +, G, H, l and *
streets and Delaware avenue, California
and jackson streets. The sale will be made
by James w. Radcliffe, auctioneer, under
the direction of Attorney George E. HAM

INTERSTATE COMMERCE
HEARS CHARGES AGAINST COAL
CARRYING ROADS.
Investigation in New York Former
President Olyphant on
Stand.

NEW YORK, June S.-The interstate
commerce commission returned to New
York today to continue the investigation
into the complaint of w. r. Hearst that
the coal-carrying railroads have violated
and are violating the anti-pooling section
of the Sherman antitrust law.
The commission declined to postpone the
hearing until the United States circuit
court had passed on the right of the rail-
road presidents to refuse to answer ques-
tons as to contracts between the coal
companies and the railroads.
Robert NJ. ELEPHANT, former president of
the Delaware and Hudson. one of the re-
spondent railroads, was the first witness.
He corroborated the statements OF the
other coal men who have testified that the
price of coal to the public is to be raised
10 cents a ton a month until a maximum
increase of so cents a ton Is reached. he
was not prepared to say that the increased
cost of production would not exceed ~
cents.
In fixing the increase the company takes
everything into consideration. In the whole
history of commerce there never was any
thing as ignorant and stupid as the way
the coal business has been conducted, con-
sidering the usefulness and necessity of
coal and it's limited supply.
Company Profits Small.
Mr.. Olypnant SAID he OOuDteu IL MS coil-
pany made any money when coal was sell
ing in New York at 81 or less. For the last
ten years the profits of the company have
been about per cent. His company in
creased the price, he said. because exigen-
cies of the trade justified the demand. I'VE
could get higher price if we asked for it,
he added.
1t was out of Difference to the needs of
the public, the witness said. that the price
of company coal was kept at s. just after
the strike when the independent opera
tors were getting IS to $40
Commission Lacks Jurisdiction.
Adelbert Moot of counsel for the Erie sys
tenn protested that the commission has no
jurisdiction in any matter that concerns the
price of coal The commission decided it
could consider the prices realized for pro-
duct to arrive at the reasonable or anrea-
sonableness of the freight rates.
Judge Campbell. the legal representative
of the Reading system. declared his clients
ready to concede that the price of coal is
about s. a ton and that the price will in
crease until $3.50 is reached.

that the alligator had very voracious ap-

immigration Laws Should
STRENGTHENED.

Many of the immigrants we are now re-
ceiving are not desirable people to have in
this country. l am more than ever con-
WINGED that our immigration laws should be
strengthened in order to keep out the I'M
desirable element
Another thing that in some way should
be remedied if possible is in connection
with some of these emigrantS who come to
America a short time and then return to
their homes American citizens. Too
frequently these people get into trouble by
violating the, laws of the country to which
they return and then claim the protection
of our consuls abroad"
Mr.. Scott does not fear any ill results to

Scott, "by men very thoroughly famila"
with the conditions in England. 1t was
agreed that Mr.. Chamberlain's views are
entirely too far in advance of public opIr
ion in England to permit any carrying ont

SENATOR SCOTT BACK
SAYS RoosEvELTs NOMINATION

His Examination Into Industrial Con-
ditions in Europe - immigration
Laws Should Be Strengthened.

Senator Scott of West Virginia is in the
city. Mr.. SCOTS appearance makes abb
surd some of the stories that have gone
abroad in respect to his health. 1t has
been reported that he is not in good con-
dition and that his trip to Europe for his
health was failure far as benefitng
him.
The fact as known to Senator SCOTS
friends is that he did not go abroad for
his health, but rather for recreation and
to observe conditions there with especial
reference to industrial matters. He was
in his usual good health when he went
away and is in excellent condition now,
having added six pounds to his weight
When seen by Star reporter today and
asked his views about the next republican
nomination for the presidency Mr.. Scott
replied:
Roosevelt's Nomination Settled.
THAT is hardly worth talking about.
That is now settled by the sentiment In
relation to Mr.. Roosevelts nomination.
MY trip abroad" he continued, when
questioned concerning the purposes ana
results of his trip to Europe. was with
view to making special study of indus
trial conditions as bearing on the interests
of our own country.
THE conditions in European countries are
not to be compared with the conditions that
prevail in the United States. The 1abqring
people there-and l use the word In refer
ence to the people who work with their
hands because in America all men are Ia
boring people in some branch of work-are
not to be classed with laborers in this coun-
try. 1t would simply be preposterous for
laboring man in Europe to think about hav-
ing a piano, organ or anything IN the
character of luxury in his home. Their
general condition cannot be claSsed with
the general condition of our people who do
the same class of work.
Any one who has observed the conditions
under which these people live in Europe
cannot blame them for coming to this coun-
try to seek an Improvement in their way
of living. That is the reason for such
large number of immigrants coming to our
countr.'.
