Scheme to Protect Passengers From
Showers Of Rice.

Scheme to Protect Passengers From
Showers of Rice.
For the protection of its passengers
the Chicago and Northwestern road
may be forced to haul bridal car on
one of it's eastbound trains, says q
dispatch from Freeport, Ill. This train
is numbered 1856 and leaves this city
every weekday evening at 6:15 and
arrives in Chicago at 1910 1t bus
beer estimated that this train carries
more wedding parties and bridal pairs
than any other short run train in the
middle west.
There was strewn on the floor Of the
car the other day sufficient rice to fill
bushel measure, and the package
racks were hung with old shoes of ev-
cry size and kind. The seats and the
windows were festooned with white
ribbons, and at each station there
would come in through the open win
dows showers of rice and handfuls Of
small circulars setting forth the fact
that newly welded pair were about
to get on the train.
For this reason the company thinks
1t would be good plan to load the
blissful pairs in one car, which would
be properly labeled and decorated and
where ordinary passengers would not
be unceremoniously disturbed.

"TOO Much Speculation Now or Too
Much BOOM"
'sThe business of the country is under
going a REIMBURSEMENT to meet changed
conditions" says James ]. Hill, presi-
dent of the Great Northern railroad.
1.-THE most alarming thing is the de-
crease in our exports. We are import.
ing much more than we export This is
not due to larger home consumption;
it is because our articles cost too much.
"Our people demand better things
than do those of other countries, and
our production has been overtaking the
needs of the country too rapidly. The
things we manufacture cost more than
other nations will pay, and they buy
elsewhere. Agricultural products, pro-
visions and such things sell readily ev-
erywhere and are staple the world over.
They are not affected by local condi-
tons. do not look for the production
Of articles of cheaper kind to meet the
demands Of the export trade. l don't
know what will be DONE 1t is hoped
that some adjustment will be made to
meet the conditions.
There is too much speculation now
or too much boom. Just how it will
come out do not know"

The Reina mercedes to BE RENTED

The Reina Mercedes to BE Refitted.
Orders have been issued by the navy
department for the fitting out of the
former Spanish warship, the Reina
Mercedes, as training ship, says a
Washington dispatch to the New York
Tribune. The vessel is now at Ports
mouth, and it is estimated that at least
six months will be required to fit her
out. In the war with Spain the Reina
Mercedes was sunk at the entrance to
the harbor Of Santiago and under the
walls Of the Moro castle. She was
sunk outside the Merrimac, but did not
block the channel. After the surrender
of the city she remained in the channel
for several months and was finally
raised and towed to this country. Ow-
ing to the loss Of the Maria Theresa
while on the way north she is the only
remaining ship Of the Spanish fleet at
Santiago and possesses historic value
She is rated as protected cruiser.
