IN RAILROAD
RATES AGAIN POSTPONED
Proposed Classification Will Not Go
Into Effect Until After
First Of Year.

The proposed classification of the
freight rates of Illinois, which have
been discussed for over a year, will
not go into effect until after Jan. 1,
and possibly not them The figures
have been completed, but the members
of the railroad and warehouse commits
son seem backward in taking final
action.
The classification of articles has
been completed and has come from
the hands of the printers. and all that
is wanting now is for the board to
decide on the amount the reduction of
rates will be and sign the scale. 1t is
understood that instead of the % per
cent reduction. which the shippers and
manufacturers had supposed would be
made. the reduction will be only about
Is per cent. The reduction will apply
to the first five classes and will be
for distances of less than Us miles,
the rates for greater distances than
that being as low, the board says. as
the rates for the same distances in
states contiguous to Illinois.

DESIRABLE CHRISTMAS GIFT
Over Five Thousand Dollars Subscrib-
ed in Past Two
Days.

The special finance committee of the
Young Mems Christian association is
pleased to announce the result of its
work thus far. Up to the present time
progress ON the securing of the debt
fund has been slow. but the last two
days have shown a big advance. Over
S., 900 has been added in this time.
In previous efforts the amount need
ed was never SO nearly reached as
now. Only $500 need be added yet
20 raise the fund sufficient to wipe out
the whole debt of the association.
AS is well known. the association
has to the first of January to get the
additional pledges. There are yet
many men who have not been seen,
and who probably cannot be seen in
the short time remaining.
The committee feels that it will be
supported in this matter, and asks that
those who want to help, and may not
be seen, send in their pledges to the
committee, or to the general secretary
of the association.
Citizens Christmas Gift.
1t is hoped that by the 25th it can
be announced that citizens of Rock
Island have given to the young mci
of the city a Christmas Offering of a
Young Mems Christian Association

clared that she had not -queered' her
assailant with the audience, as she had
been accused of doing Some of the
members of the troupe endeavored TO
persuade her to withdraw the charge.
but she firmly refused to do SO. You
have always been perfect gentleman,
she said to Mr.. Seyan in court, and
your wife treated me as lady should,
also. until some of these 'ginks' put a

not explain further. and the court, who
is not up on theatrical slang, was left
to wonder just what ''gink" really is.

The following interview with Chris
Won der Abe appeared in an eastern
paper recently:
Dubuque, Iowa, is a town | never
knew much about before | went into
baseball. | heard about 1t in very
impressive way, however, in the fall
of 1881
Il was in New York with the late
Congressman John j. O'Neiil, of ST.
Louis, when l received a telegram at
the Astor house saying:
Browns were beaten by Dubuque
Il was there in the interest of the
American association, which had just
been organized. l was picking. out
payers for the first st. Louis Browns
to enter a big league the following
spring.
Il went straight back home to find
out about the Dubuque team. IL we
had been beaten by the Chicago
Whites or the Cincinnati Reds it would
not have surprised me so much, but to
be beaten by team from Dubuque, Ia,
was something for immediate investi-
CATION. The result of the investigation
was that l signed the manager of the
team. Ted Sullivan: the captain, Tom
Lotus, and a young pitcher named
Charlie Comiskey. They started out
with us in 1882.
"Comiskey was put in the box in an
exhibition game before the season OPP
ened. His arm was no good. Sullivan
had no first baseman. and it was de-
cided TO try Pitcher Comiskey there.
Everybody knows the rest. He be-
came a crackerjack, succeeded to the
captaincy and management OF the
team. and now is a magnate.
But as a pitcher he didn't deliver
the goods"

er Irwin of the Wheeling Central
league team has announced he has
