THE decision of the supreme
court in the case against the North
ern Securities company opens the
door for further housekeeping
along the same lines, but in dealing
with trusts of far greater import to
the people as whole. Principally
among these monopolistic gratis
demanding attention is the coal
trust. On the first day of this
month it is given out that the price
of coal will drop 80 cents per ton in
every retail market in the country,
to be advanced 10 cents on the first
day of each succeeding month until
the so cent reduction has been re-
covered. No coal dealer dare sell
for a cent less on the ton than the
price fixed, and that price as fixed
by the "Christian gentleman to
whom God, in his wisdom, has COM
mitted the property of the country"
will never make a rich man of the
consumer.

leaves IT. Louis daily at III 100 A. al. for
Louisville, Lexington and all parts of the
great south east, also for East Ten nesee
and Western North Carolina, The South.
ern has found it necessary to retire the
presedt style of dining cars and put into
service magnificent new standard din
ing cars, with full complement OF cooks,
walters, etc, which will provide service
superior to any railroad in this section
of the country.
The arrival tune of this splendid train
into st. Louis is :56 2. NJ. daily. and
brings connection from all the TERRITORY
described above.
This is very important news especial
ly to all of the people OF Indiana, IlI-
nois and Kentucky who live in the Dor.
ton of these states penetrated by the
Southern Railway. All meals en- route
through those states are served on these
trains. The spacious and comfortablel
lining cars will attract still greater pa. |
ronage for this road.
These trains stop only at the principal
POINTS between 81. Louis and Louisville
md Lexington, and have been conspi-
iously popular with all first class travel
rs TO the Worlds Fair. The most sa-
lsfactory way TO appreciate the adyan.
ages of these trains is to compare with
he appointments of cars on any other
abroad operating into 81. Louis.

very detail, presenting picture too
to describe. The generality Of

A Plea For SocisbiIity.

Mr.. John ID. Rockefeller, who /,
, himself one OF the most soeiable mel
on earth, answering almost perfect
. Ily to ATistotle's definition Of man
"a social animal" "-begs the ch urch
es to be more sociable. He tells
how his "wife went to church for Is
years and not soul had a word 10
say to her." This, be very truly
thinks, does not indicate proper
social spirit.
But speaking to one another does
not comprise the whole of sociabil-
ity. 1t is sometimes lure to drew
ones fellow man into a most unso-
ciable predicament. 1t is written
hat Josb, the Kings captain met
Amasa, who had assent bled the men
OF judah, and said to him: "Ar
thou in health, my brother2" And
Joab took Amasa by the beard, with
the right hand to kiss him. But
Amasa took no heed to the sword
that was in Josb's hand; so he
smote him Herewith in the fifth rib
and he died.
II speaking politely to his fellow
man Is the criterion, Joab was a
model OF sociability. But the man
who, like A masa, hearing the fair
word, takes no heed Of the sword in
his friends hand, sometimes comes,
10 grief.
Men who get on in the world by
good words and evil deeds, like Joab
and some modern heroes OF success,
'annot hope to get credit for socis.
'ility. Mr.. Rockefeller's plea for
'ocial spirit is timely and much
ieeded, but the lesson loses much
II its force by limiting its manifes.
