 SOTTTHERN PACIFIC.

pOO <ASIA ASs
 The Southern Pacific has lately devised an unique way of entertaining the eye of passengers on it's trains which tra- verse the rice country of Louisiana and Texas. The laborers in the rice fields have been supplied with the genuine Japanese farmers rice-straw hats, wide and cone shaped, and from the car windows the workers in the i'm mense rice. fields, which lie on either side of the railroad, may be seen with their picturesque Mongolian headgear an importation of Orientalism not at all displeasing or out of place in the inundated fields which produce the great staple cereal of the Southwest. To add to the .quaintness of the pie ture, there are several Japanese col onies on the line of the Southern Pa cific, all engaged in raising their na- tive food, and bare brown legs and immense "parasor' head shades are much in character with their occupa- ton.

DIVORCED FROM BOTH
Girl With Two Husband Complete,v
 Freed.

Baltimore. Oct. GA curious matrimo- niai complication has been finally settled by Judge Sharp granting Samuel oren a divorce from Marie Roypen. Last Octo- ber the couple were married. As the couple approached the altar Joseph Cold berk. formerly suitor. slipped a coin in. to the girls hand. and according to old Jewish custom claimed her as his wife. The incident created a sensation among the crowd in the synagogue but the rabbi concluded to marry the girl to Oren.
 Next day Goldberg and the girl eloped to Boston. Oren tried to secure A war rant for the girls arrest. Falling in this he went to Philadelphia and consulted A number of orthodox rabbis respecting the case. Meanwhile Goldberg and the girl returned to Baltimore and went to live with Goldberg's parents. Goldberg con- tended that the girls marriage to Oren was null and void. and that his was hind ing because she was forced to marry Oren by her parents.
 The case was finally submitted to a council of Jewish rabbs, who decided that the girl had to be divorced from both husbands.

DIVIDEND IS REDUCED
STEEL COMMON TO PAY ,1-2 PER
 CENT.
Nineteen of the Twenty-four Direc- torr of the Trust Meet in New York, But Rockefeller
 Faction is Absent.

New York. Oct. 6-The dividend on the common stock of the United States Steei corporation for the last quarter was To- dav reduced from 1 per cent to l-z per cent. thus setting at rest matter tnas has aRitated We'll Street and financial circles generally for many weeks. TO quote a very high authority in the anairs of the corporation, The action Of the board was unanimous and was caused oy the falling off of business"
 This last Is borne out by the financial statement issued shortly after the meet ing. The statement shows decrease Of A. 462. .6Ss (September estimated) for the third quarter of the calendar year, com pared with the same period last year and A decrease of 4,339, ,4H compared with the preceding quarter of this year. October i. 1902 the corporation had unified orders of 4,S43,OOO tons on hand. This year the unified orders on the same date amount ed to S,72S,742 tons.
 The course of steel common in the last few months clearly indicated that today s cut has been largely discounted.
 In fact, wagers that the dividend would be reduced were plentiful recently and there were predictions that 1t would be passed completely. Neverthless. today's action came as a surprise to many who argued that it would be impolitic to make any change at this particular time.
 The importance of today's meeting which was preceded by that of the finance committee, was empha sized by the att tendance of nineteen of the twenty-four directors, including J. P. Morgan, whose presence at these meetings has been very rare Among the absentees were John D. Rockefeller and his son. Jchn D., Jr. William H. Moore and Marshall Field of Chicago.
 The absence of the Rockefellers was the subject of some comment because of the rumors industriously circulated for weeks past that the Standard oil faction had arrayed itself against MT. Morgan ana his friends. and would hold out for reduced dividend. The unanimous action of the board on this point however, dis posed of these rumors.
 The session of the directors was brief one. The printed statement of Comp troller Hilbert given out directly after the directors meeting. was proof that to- days action had been determined some hours in advance of the meeting.
 The regular dividend of 3-4 per cent on the preferred stock was declared. This dividend Is payable November Is. The dividend on the common stock is payable December 30. The statement for the

Frederick Law Olmsted.

''If you seek his monument, look
around YOU" Of no man who has died
of late can this better be said than of
Frederick Law Olmsted whose remark
at Waverley, Massachusetts, last week
He was known throughout the world
as Americas greatest landscape archi-
tect, and was not only the father of his
art in this country, but was regarded as
It's highest exponent in the world at
the time of his death. In the quiet
but strong way of the true artist, he
mas done more than any other man in
this nations history to develop the
artistic possibilities of America. He
has left the impress of his taste and
genius upon our greatest parks and
public gardens in all parts of the coun-
try. Central Park in New York is the
greatest monument to his skill and
taste. He was also concerned in the
construction of South Park, Chicago;
Mount Royal Park, Montreal; the
Capitol grounds at Washington, and
parks at Buffalo, Rochester, Trenton,
Wilmington and Bridgeport. Conn. In
addition, he laid out the grounds for
the Leland Stanford University, al
Palo Alto, Cal; the Vanderbilt estate
at Bltmore, and equipped the park
and parkway system OF Boston. He
and his sons laid out the grounds for
than a hundred of the great public
parks and most beautiful private es-
tates of the country were designed
and heautified under his superinten-
dence.
MIR. Olnsted may be said to have
originated q new profession, and
throughout his life he remained at its
head His work and his writings won
even greater recognition abroad than
in this country, and for all succeeding
generations he has left an inspiration
which will uplift men and stimulate in
them the realization of nature S
grandeur. He worked at a time when
his services were most needed, and
though his name is not familiar to the
general public, his memory deserves
10 De honored along with that of the
greatest men which our country has
produced.

The indications are, however, that
Nr. Johnson win not begin to hold his

made an exceptionally strong run. The
present Ohio legislature is composed of
10 Republicans and 81 Democrats. 1t

his, although quite q number of the
present Republican senators hold their

Substantial majority, and the triunh-
