MEXICO CITY, July 26.-The gov
to the railroads such an increase in
their passenger and freight rates as
will practically put them on the same
basis as though their receipts were in
so cent dollars. The decree was issued
in response to a request fro mthe Mex1-
can Central and Mexican & 1nterna-
tional railways that they be permitted
to increase their rates on account of
the continued depreciation of silver.
The decree states that during the re-
mainder of the present year railway
companies shall be authorized to make
Is per cent increase in their traffic,
with the exception of corn, wheat. cot
ton, frewood, charcoal. coal and all
articles of export, it being understood
that inasmuch as this authority IS
granted in favor of the present rate
of exchange the said increase would
be suspended should exchange fall TO
220 or less. The action of the govern
ment is praised as an indication of its
desire to do justice to corporations
having gold interest to meet abroad,
and which have to buy heavily of sup
ply in the United States and elsewhere
at gold prices. The reason why the
relief is restricted to the remainder
of the present year is understood to
be the hope that by January I the
peso will be stabilized probably at so
cents gold value.
The increase in rates applies to pas
SengerS as well as to freight charges.

ers for opinions upon the new low-cut
fad. Here are some results:)
M. o. Skito-I am heartily in favor
of the sock. 1t is both comfortable and
cool, and besides, is very convenient
for quick lunch.
F. Lea-The sock does not affect our
line of activity. We get there just the
same.
r. Ed Ant-The sock is the logical
evolution of the open-work stocking.
The tendency is toward going bare
foot However a mere bluff at wear
ing something heightens the chic ef-
feet of the costume. All we fear is a
reaction in the direction Of rubber
boots.
M. L. Crobe-Have no criticism to
make of the sock, unless it is that we
are subjected to a sudden change in
diet whenever the lady of the house
confiscates papa's socks to wear on a
shopping tour

| The principal parts were in capable

creditably and the play apparently lost

line.
Frederick Montague did well as Che

was the signal for applause every time

not what might have been expected.
nor was it SO good as that of Frederick
Clarke, who took the part of the Grip

tween the two brothers in the closing
act is hardly one which would cause an

Jes' why I like to hold her hand.
Most times I'm restless as kin be,
But when she's present, gracious mel
could keep quiet fur a week
In hopes that she was goin' to speak.
I like to watch the sunbeams there
A-piayin in her wavy hair.
I'm happy. vet I sometimes sigh;
rely don't know 'zackly why.
