PrOnnntnAaa.

DO instantly whatever Is to be done" wrote Sir Walter Scott to a friend. Take the hours of reflection or recreation after business and never before it. When a regiment Is under march the rear Is often thrown into confusion because the front does not move steadily and without interrup- tion. It is the same thing with busi- ness. If that which Is first in hand is not instantly, steadily and regularly dispatched other things accumulate be- hind till affairs begin to press all at once, and no human brain can stand the confusion; habit of the mind it Is which is very apt to beset men of in- tellect and talent. especially when their time Is not regularly filled up, but left at their own arrangement. But it is like the ivy round the oak and ends by limiting, if it does not destroy, the pow
 CT of vigorous and necessary exertion."

PRESIDENT BARS
 RAILROAD PASSES
THAT HE WILL ACCEPT NO MORE FREE
 TRANSPORTATION.
Hunting Trip Cost $S.OOO-CustOm of Former Presidents in Riding Without Paying Will. 1t Is
 Said, Be Abolished.

Washington Special to New York
 Herald.
 It is stated in The Washington Star, which has spoken with considerable White House authority ever since MT. Roosevelt has been in his present of fee, that the President will accept no more free railroad transportation. This subject has become a matter of great public interest since the campaign on railroad rates began. The Star says:
 Tn connection with the trip which the President has definitely announced he will make to the South in October next Is the interesting fact that he will refuse to accept transportation over the railroad lines without the payment of regular charges. Not an official at the White House will answer yes or no to an inquiry as to whether the President paid all of his own ex- penses, together with those of the party that accompanied him on the re- cent journey to the west. hut there is fairly good authority for saying that he did so and that he will not place himself under obligations to railroads or to the Pullman Company.
 If it is true that the President has ceased to accept the really earnest offers of the railroad and Pullman peo- pie to put at his service at any time the best trains to be found 1t will es- tablish a precedent that may be far reaching in official and public life.
 "A railroad man recently charged be- fore the Senate Committee on Inter state Commerce that the law against free transportation Is daily violated by public men and that Presidents of the United States have for many years made the law negative by riding on railroads without paying transporta- ton.
 whatever President Roosevelt is now doing, 1t is a fact that when he came into offlce he found that his pre- decessors, unless 1t was President liar rison, had uniformly accepted offers of trains to all parts of the country. President Mckinley had made many notable trips and the railroads and the Pullman Company had never rendered a bill, or even thought of presenting one, They were glad to oblige the Presi- dent of the country. Further than that was the fact that his trips induced profitable to them. Excursion trains dent stops and the railroads made money
 The Pullman people have never con- tributed to these trips unless it was in furnishing cars, and it has been under stood that the railroads have paid for the cars that were used. It Is known that in the furnishing of meals. dining cars, etc, the railroads have borne the expenses, the Pullman Company pre- sentinE bills to the road Each road

travelled over has paid the expenses on its own lines.
 The trains have in the past been sumptuously fitted up and large num- bers of persons have been guests of the President, including Cabinet officers, newspaper men and personal friends. If the expenses had been paid out of the pockets of the chief executives they woRld have amounted to many thou sands of dollars, and three or four of them would have nearly bankrupted a President especially if he was not wealthy. as is the case with President Roosevelt.
 "Whiskies. wines champagnes, waters of all kinds, the finest of cigars and the finest viands have been stocked in the cars. On the recent trip there were few cars and few guests. Besides the President and Secretary Loeb there were one or two stenographers, two messengers. three newspaper men, rep resenting press associations. one pho tographer and some secret service of- ficerS"

At many leading cities retail trade in spring and summer wearing apparel Is falling behind expectations and there IS less than the customary recorder business in wholsale and jobbing de- partments. Although no actual reduc- tion in the crops Is yet assured. suf- ficient uncertainty has appeared to render dealers in the farming districts somewhat cautious regarding, the ac- cumulation of supplies beyond current requirements. Otherwise the trade sit- uation Is satisfactory

Structural shapes have taken the position of prominence in the Iron and steel industry. Building opera tions that were retarded by indictment weather are now under way and the tonnage of steel required will keep mills fully occupied for some time.

nraastreet,a Review.

New York, May 19.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 through a lsrge area of the country bids fair to reinforce existing opti- mistic views as to late summer and fall trade. Cold or rainy weather, ex- cept in a few sections has affected general trade, further retarded and already late corn and cotton planting season. giving rise to rather less op- timistic winter wheat crop reports and bullishly stimulated grain, pork and cotton prices. The great barometer of trade and industry, the iron trade. is less active for the cruder forms de- spite price concessions, but the dispO- sition in usually we'll informed quar- ters is to regard this as an instance of the general breathing spell which is noted in many lines of wholesale business, structural material and builders hardware still in a high de- gree active.
