This from a lawyer, says the New
York Post: It have been called in to
settle peculiar case. X owed NJ $40,
and one day wrote letter inclosing a
check for the amount, put a stamp on
it, and was on the way to the post
Office to mail It when he met NJ. There
had been some feeling over the indebt-
edness and NJ proceeded to abuse x
for not paying him. His offensive Ian
guage caused X to show the letter and
say I have a check for you in this
envelope, and was about to post it,
but since you are so blackguardy I
shall destroy it and let you wait for
your money With that he tore open
the sealed letter, exhibited the check,
and then reduced il to bits. NJ is pros
ecuting X for tampering with the
mails, on the ground that the letter,
being sealed, stamped and addressed
to him. was his property, and should
not have been opened by X. He is
going to carry the matter to the Unit
ed States Court 4"

new religious cult has made its
appearance in New York. and is said
to be growing rapidly. It is the Cir
Gle of the Divine Ministry. Its creed
and theory Of life are based on the
power Of right thinking over all evil,
spiritual and physical. The only pre-
requisite for membership is an open
mind and an active interest in the
psychological principles which the cir
Gle hopes to bring to maturity in the
human race. OF course there are
prophetesses in the circle. since no

One of these leaders said a day or
two ago that right thinking, if the
thinking was good and hard. would

sists, not in humiliation, but a regu-
lation to proper relations. The proph-
etess said that she knew of many
houses from which the cockroaches and
rats had been banished by right think
ing. and acres and acres of potato
patches had been rid of pestiferous
bugs by properly directed thought.
Maybe it would be a good idea for the
Texas cotton farmers to invite a few
of the prophetesses to visit that state
and try what effect right thinking
would have on the boil weevils.

of It. The creation of the body is said
70 have been her idea. The members
Of this cabinet" are the wives of the
cabinet secretaries, and the chief
function OF the body is to look out
for the social affairs of the official
set. The Ladies' Cabinet" will ar
range all balls. receptions. etc, so that
dates will not conflict and orders of
precedence may not become tangled.
Meetings will be held once a week, at
which Mrs. President" Roosevelt
will preside. The hour OF meeting and
the length OF session will be the same
as those governing the Presidents cab
met. In all probability just about as
many affairs OF state will be discussed
and arranged in the Ladies' Cabinet"
as in the other. There is probably no
capital in the world where women
have more influence than In Wash

Relatively few new lines OF railroad
have been built in the South during
the past year or two, but what has
been called the internal growth Of the
railroad systems has been something
remarkable. So considerable has been
the increase OF traffic on nearly all
Of the important Southern systems
that II has been found necessary to
add largely to the facilities of the
roads for handling business. During
the past three years a quiet but steady
movement towards double-tracking the
great trunks Of the systems has been
going forward. A considerable part Of
the main line Of the Southern from
Washington South has already been
double-tracked. The Illinois Central
has completed more than $50 miles of
second track in the South, and Is push
ing the work of double-tracking so as
to meet the demands OF traffic. The
Atlantic Coast Line has constructed
second tracks at several points on its
main line, notably between Richmond
and Petersburg, at Rocky Mount, n.
- anu Dul VI II lds AZ
other points exceptionally long sidings
are being put down, and 1t is believed
that the time is not far distant when
the connection between these long sid
ings will be made and a second track
will quickly spring into existence and
use
These trackage improvements" says
the Manufacturers Record, ARE but
the beginning of much more extensive
work, which will be demanded by
traffic conditions within comparatively
few years. The roads south of
the Potomac are going through a pc
Rod of existence similar to that of
the lines west of the Ohio. which were
started as single-track roads, but
which are gradually being converted
into double-track lines"
Could there be a better, more reli-
able indication of the great material
development that is going forward in
the South? The volume OF business
crowding upon the railroads is so large,
and is increasing at such a rate, that
the roads find themselves obliged to
enlarge their terminals, secure addi-
tional rolling stock and heavier en-
gines, and increase their track faciH-
ties by working to the end Of double
tracking their entire main lines.

SOURCE OF REPUBLICAN CONFID.
ENCE.

One of the reasons why the Repub-
licans are so confident of carrying New
York and other doubtful states is the
fact that they have all the money they
want for campaign purposes. In some
Of the publications Mr.. Cortelyou, the
campaign manager Of the Republican
party, is represented as sitting upon a
chest stuffed so full of gold for cam
paign uses that its lid cannot be closed.
And where did all this money come
from? That IS a question the people
would like to have answered In a
speech at the Commercial Travellers
League on Tuesday, Edward NJ. Shep-
ard, the well-known orator and law
yer, Is quoted as having said:
Mr.. Cortelyou, having compelled the
disclosure of corporate secrets as the
Secretary of Commerce and Labor, was
taken from that department and made
chairman of the National Committee
in the face of the protests OF the peo-
pie of the United States and of the
statesmen of the Republican party.
He was wholly without experience for
the work. Then why was he selected?
You and have no choice but TO be-
leve that it was because he was the
only man, besides the President, who
knew the secrets and had the knowl-
edge of the affairs of the corporations.
Mr.. Cortelyou's chief function is to
gather from these same corporations
the money necessary for the conduct
of the Republican campaign. But you
may be sure that for every dollar the
trusts pay into the Republican cam
paign chest they will get back $50 or
500 in special privileges"
Mr.. Shepard is justified in saying that
for every dollar the corporations con-
tribute for the election of Mr.. Roose-
welt they expect $50 or 500 in return,
"and there is no doubt he is right. The
corporations are not giving away large
sums of money without a certainty
that 1t will come back to them in some
indirect way. They are not such ad-
mirers Of Mr.. Roosevelt that they
would want to see him elected simply
because he is a Republican. They are
confident they will have certain privi-
leges or immunity from penalties
granted them in the event of Mr..
Roosevelt's election.
MI WdtSoh - Trying 10 make the
country believe that Judge Parker is
hand in glove with Wall street. There
is no evidence that he has any friends
in that street. His campaign chest is
practically empty. That wouldn't be
the case IL Wall street didn't know II
has no reason to expect anything from
him. II he were on terms of intimacy
with Wall street spectators and pro-
moters evidence of that fact would
have been forthcoming long ago.
