To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 At the railroad station on Sunday ev- ening last, after the arrival of the train from New York, great number of well dressed young men, carrying each suit case, some os them with text books, crowded to the entrances of a trolley and after they were on board some ladies succeeded in getting in. On the entrance of the ladies, two middle aged men arose and offered them their seats. The other ladies remained standing, while the young men with the suit cases and text books were seated.
 This calls to my mind that the grad uates and admirers of the universities value highly the culture, breeding and refinement which is acquired in the att mosphere of a university. There are professors in the college who teach many branches of learning, some of which are useful. and many of which are designed principally to promote the culture which pertains to the makeup cs what used to be called "a gentle- man." am led to inquire whether there be any instructor in the university who devotes his attention especially to the teaching of politeness to ladies and deference and consideration to elderly people. If not, would it not be we'll to establish a chair of ordinary manners? :?

there is collusion between the packers to prevent competition in buying cattle from stoclkmen. There is. consequent ly." he asserts, "a great loss to pro ducers of cattle in the West Many of the stockmen have become embarrassed by the present condition of affairs, which is not due to natural causes" Last year Judge Grosseup. of Chicago, issued an injunction restraining the Packers Combine from manipulating the price of dressed beef or conspiring to depress the price of cattle on the hoof. The injunction is still in effect but it is alleged that the manipulation of prices continues. It is charged by western congressman that there is col- fusion at both ends-the suppression of competition in buying cattle from the stockmen and an agreement in regard to the prices charged for dressed beef.
 One of the cases cited is that of a North Dakota man who took a train load of fat steers to Chicago to sell and he could find only one buyer; it was take that bid or keep the cattle. so he sold. He could not understand such a condition and he kept his eye on the steers. The result was the discov- cry next day that the cattle he had sold to the one person willing to buy were divided into separate lots and sent this way and that to the various packers. They fix the price, decline to bid against each other, and have the mar ket where they want it.
 If the truth is told there is need of an investigation, and if there is one it is to be hoped that more truth will be told than there is in some investigations.

Bs1IER AND BETTER.

There are/ some prejudiced people who wouldn't want to live in Chicago, even if the death-rate there should go below zero. toward which it is rapidly approaching. Something must be done to remove such prejudice and it is be- ing done. A Municipal Graft commit tee has been at work in Chicago try ing to find how much and how wicked grating is done there. It finds that there is no graft in Chicago-that is, no systematic" graft such as obtains in other cities. Graft in Chicago is only "sporadi,.
 Good. With disease in Chicago only sporadic, and soon to be eradicated, and with wickedness only sporadic and per- haps soon to be eradicated too, Chicago can be gloriously advertised. Perhaps the millennium is to begin there.

PEACE os rHN FARM.

Many people who live in cities pine for life on a farm. and some of them seek it. A Missouri woman who had had enough of the windy ways of city men thought she would go to farm she owned and be at peace. She went and she got her peace in large chunks. A cyclone struck the farm one night and scattered it's outbuildings over an entire section. Thirty-fve separate and dis tinct hired men have been employed on it at different times. One of them stayed eighteen months. No other one has ever stayed that many weeks. One of them fell from a haystack and broke his neck. Another mysteriously disappeared one night leaving clothes behind, and has never since been heard of. The wife of an emigrant was taken in one stormy night sick. and few days later under the hosuitable roof was delivered of a daughter There has been one wedding on the farm The house has been rob- bed once. It has been struck by light ming once. One evening tenant set fire to a straw stack. It spread to the sur rounding grass and the owners entire family had to get out and fight fire ai- most all night to save the farm fence and buildings. Another night the gran ary over the buggy shed fell in and mixed all the various kinds of grain to- gether and smashed the carriage. The land has increased in value from S65 to S1oO per acre. The last incident in the chapter of accidents and casualties and more homely events took place the other day when the hired man. in burning down grass in the yard, let the house get on fire and almost burned it down, too.
 The woman who owns the farm is still looking for peace, and she is going to try city flat next.

JsvEsrfGA7Ios DEMANDED,

There is talk of Investigating the Beef trust. A resolution requesting an inquiry has been favorably reported by the House Committee on Interstate Commerce. Western members of the House of Representatives without re- gard to party. are in favor of prompt and thorough investigation. It seems that not only the consumers of meat, but the cattlemen-the producers-have a grievance against the packers. Rep resentative Martin, of South Dakota, in a speech in the house, charged that

MosoUITos IND M4LARfA.

The mosquito malaria theory is last-i ing well, and until it is upset it must be accepted. Some interesting talk in support of it was made in Liverpool the other day by Professor Royce re- gently returned from Egypt. He said that when Major Ross visited Ismailia in September, 1902, there were two thousand cases of malaria annually in 8 population of nine thousand people, of whom two thousand were Europe ans. The authorities at Ismailia loy ally carried out his suggestions as to filling up marsh land close to the town and cleaning out small irrigating chan nels and stagnant waters. That in- volved an expense of 22,O00, and at the same time they organized a drains brigade and a petroleum brigade, and now people could sleep in any of the houses in the European quarter without mosquito nets. Malaria cases had been reduced from two thousand year to two hundred. As a matter of fact,
 there were no fresh cases of malarial
 infection in Isnailia; there had been no
 deaths among Europeans during 1903,
 and only four among natives, against
 thirty deaths the year before. The irn- provement was so wonderful that
 Prince D'Arenberg, president of the
 Suez Canal Company, hopes soon to see Ismailia the sanatorium and watering
 place for Cairo. Major Ross, who was
 present, remarked that the success of the anti-malarial campaign at Isma- fila had taught two things-that it was possible to rid a large town entirely of mosquitos, and that it was equally pos sible to eradicate malaria. He had been asked to draw up report as to malaria cases in India, which were re- sponsible for 300,oOO admissions to hos pitals from the troops and jail prison CTS. With the Ismailia figures before him he felt confident that these high figures would be reduced soon by at least one-third.
 If it is possible to rid large town of mosquitos perhaps New Haven will soon be tackled by some restless scien- tist.

The Japanese are smart. It is related that some years ago a Japanese agent came to Philadelphia with a letter of introduction to a prominent Philadel-
 phian who had travelled in Japan. The letter was written by Japanese officer who knew the Philadelphian, and it stated that if he would help the bearer in what he desired the favor would be
 greatly appreciated. The favor was for the Philadelphian to introduce the agent to a first-class firm of detectives.
 This was done and the agent described
 as responsible person. He had plenty of money, and bargain was made with the firm, the latter to receive a large sum of money. The detectives were required to dress in the clothes of laborers and secure work in Cramps shipyard, and then to gather full in- formation about the Russian battleship

A correspondent of the Louisville courier-5 ournal gives an interesting ex- planation of the origin of two queer names Of places. The mountains of Kentucky afford many queer names of streams, peaks, towns and villages. but perhaps none are more remarkable than Kingdom Come and Why Not. The first of these is the name of stream in Les- lie county, is taken from the Lords Prayer, and is the scene of John Fox Jr.'s. recent story Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come" The second is inc name of small postoffice in the county. and originates from the old song "Whv Not To-night?" It is said that an inter- esfing religious revival was once held in this locality. at which this song was sung a great deal, and the people be- came So carried away with the music that the place was ever afterward called Why Not.

Speaking of the attempt of congress to regulate food products, the San Fran cisco Chronicle is of the opinion that fin one way or another, and under one ex- cuse or another, the representatives of states largely concerned in importation seek to prevent any legislation which interferes with fraud in foreign trade One senator said that the law was "too crude and hard to understand,' to which Senator Deliver replied that the trouble was exactly the opposite. It was too easy to understand and too dif- fcult to evade. And that is the exact truth

The following tale is told of the Bish- op of London. Having indulged in the pastime of asking any small boy or girl in the audience to ask him question, Dr. Ingram was met by the following: "Please. sir. why did the angels walk up and down Jacobs ladder when they had wings?" It is sad to record that even the Bishop of London was driven to make the usual humi;iating and miser- able escape by returning. What little boy or girl would like to answer this?"

Every year silver loving cup, the gift of the Daily Picayune, is awarded by a New Orleans society to some citi- zen adjudged to have set an example of civic spirit and unseifish public use- fulness. This year the cup goes to Miss Sophie Wright, a cripple, whose life has been full of good works and whose free evening school is one of the sights of the city. The Picayune is delighted that the cup has been be- slowed upon one so entirely worthy. Long may she live' it says Ito enjoy the gratitude she has won from so many hearts,
