Woman and Fer Clothes.
e New York Tribune

From the New York Tribune
The saying that womans first thought
is of her clothes was well illustrated re-
Gently by an incident on one of the cx-
cursion boats which ply the harbor. Lead
Ing from the upper deck is stairway
which has proved particularly dangerous
for women who wear high-heeled shoes
On the day In question a prepossessing
young woman. faultlessly dressed all Ia
white, even to her shoes. started TO de-
scend the stairway She caught her heel
on the top stair and fell the whole dis
lance landing on her knees on the deck be-
low. The fall must have been very pain
full. but the woman did NOT seem to mind
the pain One of her high French heels
had been torn OF and rolled across the
deck. The woman made q dive for 1t. and.
capturing IL, exclaimed: "Oh. my poor heelf
Ny poor heel What shall I do? What
shall do?" There was nothing to do but
grin and bear 1t. and the woman was seen
iimping about the boat, nursing the heel
less shoe more than her bruised knees.

BEST RATE THE HIGHEST
President Stickney Before Interstate
Commerce Commission.

CHICAGO. September GA. B. Stickney.
president of the Chicago Great Western
railway, concluded his testimony before the
interstate commerce commission today re-
garding freight rates on live stock and live
stock products from Missouri river points
to Chicago. When questioned concerning
what constitutes reasonable freight rate
President Stcl5ney replied:
In my opinion the best rate is the one
which gives the railroad the largest posi-
bic profit and the shipper the best possible
service at a price which will stimulate the
movement of all classes of merchandise and
products
The problem which always confronts us
Is now 10 give the shipper every advantage
or low rates and retain the largest possible
margin of profit for the railroad That. I
thlnk, Is the real reasonable rate The best
rate. the ideal tariff, is the one which gives
satisfaction alike to both the railroad and
the shipper"

UNDER AMUSEMENT.
PROTEST FILED AGAINST IsSU-
ANCE OF CLUB LICENSE.

Tempestuous scenes obtained for more
than two hours In the Office of the excise
board in the District building today dur
ing hearing on the petition of the Pen
and Pencil Club" for license to sell liquor
at their club house, SEQ East Capitol street.
President Aaron Rosenfeld, Attorney Beh-
rend and several members of the club were
present to look after the interests of the
organization. but practically the entire
neighborhood bordering on 9th and East
Capitol streets was arrayed against them,
as were also several ministers of the gos-
pei and anti-liauor advocates.l
AS has previously been stated the .sPen
and Pencil Club" has been Incorporated
and proposes to purchase a fine gray stone
residence on the northeast corner OF 9th
and East Capitol streets as its headquar-
tiers. A liquor license is desired 1t is said
so that liquid refreshments may be served
to members: but when application was
made for license and that fact became
known the excise board was flooded with
counter-petitions. When the matter first
came up for s,deration the board de-
cided to postpone the hearing until today.
The Protests Filed.
Among the ladies who made most eloquent
appeals against the granting of the license
were: Mrs, A. w. Chaplin. Mrs. McKim,
Mrs. Muhlhofer, Miss Edith Marshall, Mrs.
II. P. Maxwell. Mrs. M. Elliott, Miss Ro-
berta Van Horn, Mrs. w. F. Melbourne and
Mrs. w. P. Burch.
1t will be resort for drunken men and
women, declared several and many said
they would be ashamed to walk past such
place.. One whose fears knew no limit
stated that she could not tolerate the prox-
unity of an establishment like the proposed
club. because of the danger that her chill
dren would be Influenced to become drunk
ards and gamblers
The ethical side of the problem was also
argued byRev. George e. Maydwell, Rev. Jas.
z Nicholson, Rev. c. H. Butler, Rev.
David L. Blakemore and Rev. E. D. Bagby
Albert E. Shoemaker, special attorney
FOR the Anti-saloon League. made the plea
against the inevitable depreciation of prop
erty values which must follow the estab-
llshment of such place as an argument
for forbidding the club to engage in the
traffic in liquors. Through 1t all, particu-
larly when advocates for the club had the
hoor. President Darneiile of the excise
board had the greatest difficulty in MAIN
tanning order, because the protestants
wanted to state their objections to every
point as quickly as 1t was made
After adjournment of the hearing the ex-
else board announced that it would take
the question under consideration and an
nounce its decision later this week.

MILLING CLASH COMING.
Overland Freight Differential Causes
Controversy.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 26-A clash
between the milling interests of the east
and of the Pacific coast is imminent. The
cause is the decision that the interstate
commerce commission is reported to have
reached regarding the differential on the
overland railways from the Missouri river
to all Pacific coast points on corn and corn
meal. The understanding is that the differ
entail on corn and corn meal is reduced
from 10 to . cents per 100 pounds This
reduction, IL it shall be put in force will
enable the eastern mllers to have a great
advantage over those of the Pacific coast,
ana as result of this consideration coast
millers are stirring about in this city and
elsewhere to try to have a rehearing of the
facts in the hope of securing a new de-
clsion.

NEW BUSINESS HOUSES
THEIR ExCLUsIoN FROM 18TH
STREET BOULEVARD PROPOSED.

Sixteenth street boulevard, which many
persons desire to have named Executive
avenue" Is the subject of a circular letter
issued by the Commissioners today. About
four hundred copies of this letter. which
deals with the proposition to restrict build
Ing operations on the street to residences or
hotels and apartments only, will be sent to
as many owners of property along the en-
tire length of the thoroughfare. 1t reads as
follows;
The question of the preservation of 10th
street as boulevard and for purely resi-
Dental purposes Is one which must interest
all property holders on that street as well
as all residents of the District, and even
all the people of the United States. It. Is
the only street or avenue in the District OF
Columbia Of any length which can be, and
should be- residential from one end to the
other. 1t leads from the White House, by
Rock creek. to the District line. and when
completed will be great and beautiful
boulevard
Sixteenth street can probably never be-
come a business street. as 1t is too wide:
has not and probably never will have a
street car line, and lies between streets,
14th and Connecticut avenue having car
lines. which are gradually, especially 14th
street, becoming business streets. Along its
northern extremity 1t will face the park,
leaving only its eastern side available for
residence sites.
Residential Purposes Only.
Therefore. the proper development would
distinctly appear to be for residential pur-
poses solely. with handsome houses along
Its whole length. To have this secured
will doubtless enhance the value of the
property.
Assuming that the residential is the
proper development of this great avenue,
both for the beauty of the city and the
appreciation of values, it would seem we'll
to insure its permanency as such, as far
as legislation and the efforts of the present
owners can SO secure 1t.
1t Is proposed that a bill be presented
to Congress providing that no business
houses. otEer than hotels and apartments,
shall ever be erected on this street, and
that they be restricted in height to sixty
or sixty-fve feet. The present limit is
eighty feet. To further this desirable re-
suit property owners might agree that in
conveying land a covenant shall be given
to that effect This communication Is sent
to you as property owner, with request
that you express your views as to whether
you favor some such legislation, with
suggestions as to it's nature and scope.
The Commissioners intend to present
this matter to Congress"
