dustrial line" for every car switched
onto or off its tracks. Recent dis
closures have tended to show that the
railroads virtually are compelled to
use private car lines in the transpor-
tation of dressed meats and other
packing house products, coal, oil and
live stock. on pain of losing traffic if
they refuse.
The same power compels the rail-
roads to pay the owners of private
cars mileage which reaches 1 cent a
mile for both loaded and empty cars.
1t has been shown that one care line
used in the carrying of dressed meats
pays fully 3 per cent. net upon the
investment, so that the packers could
afford to lose money upon their pack
ing house industry so long as they
had their profits on the private cars.

Flowers for Women Passengers.

A pleasing incident in travel on the
Michigan Central is that every woman
passenger is given a bunch of flowers
when Niles, Mich, is reached More
than twenty years ago the officers of
the road conceived the idea of raising
enough flowers to enable them to
throw in the lap of each feminine
passenger a boutonniere of cut
flowers. An employee in uniform bear
ing a basket filled with the favors
passes through the train, distributing
the fragrant punches. 1t matters not
whether it is midwinter or the torrid
days of summer, the habit is kept up
continually. The company has Just
rebuilt its hothouses on scale that
doubles their former capacity, and
the new buildings will hold not only
the never-failing supply of flowers,
but in them there will be raised thou
sands of plants that in the springtime
will be shipped to every part of the
system, to be used in identifying sta
ton grounds.

ERIE GETS ANOTHER.
Adds the Clover Leaf System, Making
Combination of Four Lines.

In addition to the Pere Marquette
and Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton
absorb the Toledo. St Louis & West
ern, commonly called the Glover
Leaf"
Before the reorganization early this
year of the latter company those in
financial control tried to sell it to the
Erie, but asked a price which J. j. Hill
and other influential directors deemed
excessive. The financial condition of
the Glover Leaf was not much better
than the condition of its property. Its
troubles eliminated when, as the result
of certain practices of its traffic de-
partnient, it was quietly boycotted by
all its western connections.
Last spring T. P. ShontS, formerly
president of the Indiana, Illinois &
Iowa railroad, formed q syndicate
which purchased the Clover Leaf The
policy of the company was completely
changed, new equipment of the best
grade was bought and the physical
condition of the road greatly improved.
The possibilities of the company I'M
der good management were demon
strated, with the result that the Erie
resumed negotiations for it
About three weeks ago President
Underwood and other officials made a
careful tour of inspection with Presi-
dent Shonts. Since that time a large
number of shares of Glover Leaf stock
have changed hands and their price
has increased about SIS per share for
both common and preferred 1t is
said that nearly all have been bought

has never paid dividends. Its capital
ization is s20,O00,000 and bonded in
debtedness about SIS, 100000.
The directors of the Erie have de-
termined that the system, in order to
secure its share of through traffic,
must reach the St Louis gateway 1t
is stated that E. H. Hartman was the
strongest advocate of the purchase of

roads. He is said to have arranged to

tain, however, that the washouts on

company during the last year and that
a great deal of money will be expend-

shape again.
Mr.. wells says that there is no

Investigate Private Car Agreement.

1t is stated that the interstate COM
merce commission has testimony to
show a deplorable state of affairs as
existing between some of the private
car lines and the railroads, not the
least of the abuses being the advant-
age taken of such relations to ma
nipulate rates. In not few instances
the railroad is clearly at the mercy
of the private car lines and in conSe-
uuence extortion from the railroads is
not uncommon. The evils resulting
are as glaring as were shown to be
the case of the so-called industrial
lines" in which instances were dis
closed by the commission where a

in the firm until 1867, when the bost-
ness was closed up.
He then became a member Of the firm
Of Rhodes & Co., engaged in the iron
and coal business. At the expiration
OF ten years the title OF this firm was
changed to NJ A. Hanna & Co., which
still exists. Now 1t includes Interests

the latter position he worked many re.
forms which resulted in the city Of
Cleveland enjoying one OF tho most
perfect street car systems In tho United
States. In 1885 he was appointed d.
rector of the Union Pacific Railway
Company by President Cleveland.
March 8. 1897. Mr.. Hanna was ap-
pointed to the United States Senate by
Governor Bushnell to fill the vacancy
caused by the retirement Of Hon. John
Sherman, who resigned to accept the
position of secretary of state in Presi-
dent Mckinley's Cabinet. In January
1898. he was elected for the short term
ending March 4. 1899, and also for the
succeeding full term. In January 1904,
he was reelected to the Senate for the
term beginning March S. 1905. by al
