Railway Rate LexialRtion.

At the biennial convention of the Or.
der Of Railway Conductors, recently
held at Portland, Ore, resolutions were
unanimously adopted voicing their en-
timents as to the effect Of proposed
railway rate legislation on the 1,3OO,-
Q railroad employees, whom they in
past represented. These resolutions
Endorse the attitude of President
Roosevelt in condemning secret rebates
and other illegalities, and commend the
attitude of the heads Of American rail-
ways, who, with practical unlnimity,
have Joined with the President on this
question" They then respectfully
point out to Congress the 'inadvisabili-
ty of legislation vesting in the hands
Of a commission power owe railway
rates, o lower by far in the United
States than in any other country" be-
cause such regulation would result in
litigation and confusion and inevitably
tend to an enforced reduction in rates,
irrespective of the question of the abil-
ity of the railroads to stand the r"duc-
ton, especially in view of the increased
cost of their supplies and Materials
They further protested against such
power being given to the present Inter
state Commission because THE pro-
posed legislation is not in harmony
with our idea of American iurispru-
dence, inasmuch as it contemp;ates
that a single body shall have the right
to investigate, indict, try, condemn and
then enforce its decisions at the cost
of the carriers. pending appeal, which
is manifestly inequitable."
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation, if any, as
would secure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to al,
parties concerned on the ground that
the low cost of transportation lis the
result of the efficiency of American
railway management and operation
which have built up the country
through constant improvement and de
velopment of territory, while at the
same time recognition has beer givel
to the value of intelligence among EN-
ployes in contrast to foreign methods
where high freight rates and loves
wages to employees obtain"
In pressing their claim against legis
lation adverse to their interests. the,
point out the fact that the freigh
rates of this country average only
per cent of the cost of articles to tn
consumer. thus making the freight rat
so insignificant a factor in the sellin
price that numerous standard article
are sold at the same price in all part
of the country" ADV

Color of Whisky and Its Aoe,

London World: A query about
Scotch whisky is, does color indicate
age? Theoretically it should; actually
it does not. Whisky is stored in cherry
casks to mature and takes color from
the wood Sherry, however, overs a
wide range of shades, and a spirit
stored in a caSk which had
held a pale variety woul obviously
not be colored to the same extent as a
spirit stored for a like time in a cask
that had previously held a dark brown
wine, though as regards maturing both
would be equally improved. The gen
eral public, however, could never be
made to understand that two bottles Of
whisky differing in color We're abso-
lutely identical in every essential
point, n therefore most brands main
tain a standard of color by means of a
harmless coloring ingredient, namely,
burned sugar.

fused, Though Prisoner of War.
Boston Globe: A white haired,
elderly man stood in Doris hall at the
state house the other day intently gaz-
ing at the battle flags Of the Massa-
chusetts regiments hat fought to pre-
serve the union from 1861 to 1865. He
fingered long and seemed to be greatly
interested in the torn and tattered
standards. A visitor noticed the man,
and, stepping up to him, said:
You appear to be interested In
those flags"
II think l have a right to be, sir"
replied the old gentleman. THAT flag"
said he, pointing to the shot-riddled
colors of the 18th regiment, was cap
tured from me in front of Petersburg
by the rebels June %, 1864. Thirty
years afterward, by an act of congress,
1t was returned to the state, and l had
the honor of delivering it to the gov
ernor Of the commonwealth"
That's remarkable said the visitor,
and the two fell to talking about the
stirring days of the war, and the diff
ferent engagements that the 10Th regi-
ment participated in. The color bearer
was Sergeant Michael Scannell, of
Lynn, who, although seventy-eight
years old, is hale and hearty, and is
known by every Grand Army man in
Essex county. Little by little Scannell
was induced to tell the story of the
capture of the colors at Petersburg.
w were brigaded with the 42d
New York and the 18th Massachu-
Sets" said Sergeant Scannell, and we
We're ordered to advance. There was
evidently some mistake, as when we
moved out 1t left a gap that Gen. Ma
hone was quick to see and take adj
vantage of. Without any idea of the
ynri1nt,C rncifi1r VIZ .npr11ria1 lTa rnnV-
ed forward in the best Of spirits.
Quicker than 1T takes to say Jack
Robinson the rebs swooped down up
on us, and we were poWerless to resist
capture. 1t was all up with us, and
there was nothing to do but surrender.
A rebel officer rode up to me and, with
a long oath, demanded the cOlOrS. Give
me those colors, you yankee blankety
blankety blank said he, with his gun
pointed at my head.
Il looked at him coolly and, straight
ening myself up, said: Sir. l have
beer in this country nearly twenty
years, and you are the first man &c
You're welcome to them"
Scannell, with the rest of the regi-
ment, was hustled off to Andersonville
and spent nearly twelve months ir
rebel prisons, suffering untold misery
One day while at Andersonville a rebe
officer came through shouting the name
of Sergeant Scannell.
That's me-" replied Scannell. HI
was ordered to make shoes for thu
rebs, as he had been a shoemaker a
Haverhill before the war.
"Never!" said Scannell; "never!"
The rebel officer argued with hin
and told him tina he would get bette
food and treatment K he went int
the shoe shop. and that he would LAY
a chance to recover from the scurv.
that had attacked him. But Scanned
was firm. "Never!" was the reply
do you think that I am going to g
back on the flag Of my adopted cou
try, and make shoes for rebs? No

Don't Poison Baby.

FORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have
PARRG0RlC Or laudanmm to make it sleep These drugs will produce
Sleep and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will proauco the SLEEP FROM WHICH
THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or
whose health has been ruined for life by pargcc, laudanum and morphine, each
OF which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists re prohibited from selling
either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling
them poison" The definition of narcotic" is: 81 medicine 1u3ch relieves pain
and produces Sleep but uh1ch in poisonous doses produces stup0, coma, conUuL
sious and DEATH" Ihetaste and smel ofmedicnes containing opium are disguised,
and sold under the names Of Drops" "Cordials,' Soothing Syrups' ETC. You
should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or

II. J. Simmons, general manager Of

arrived here yesterday from an TX.

II is understood that Mr.. Simmons.
since his return, has confided to a
friend that the Phelps-Dodge syndi.
cate would build the extension OF the
Southwestern from Bisbee to San
Diego, and In conjunction with the
Rock Island would operate the line.
This would be the connecting link
which the Rock Island now lacks

A month ago 1t was announced that
the Rock Island vas quietly acquiring

that the extension OF the Southwest

The Rome of Genus.

The Rope Of Genus" is the name or
a famous picture painted by Polygno-

B. c. He was the first who gave life,
character and expression to pictures.
According TO Pliny. he opened the
mouth and showed the teeth Of his fig
ures and was the first TO paint women
with transparent draperies and rich
headdresses. The picture represents
Genus as q poor man, weaving n rope
Of straw, while behind him stands an
ass consuming the other end Of the
rope. The silent lesson thus conveyed
is said to have had wholesome effect
upon the wife of Genus, whose ex-
travagance had been his ruin, so that
she became frugal and thrifty and
helped him TO rise from perjury to
great prosperity. The phrase like the

Sweet Potato Coffee.

II coffee is suspected Of being harm
full to the nerves il is the part of wis
dom not to drink it, Most substitutes
are unspeakable connections. During
the war sweet potato coffee was
brought to a rare perfection and Is said
to be a very palatable beverage. Good
Housekeeping furnishes an old war
recipe: Pare the potatoes, cut them in
small dice and let dry for day or two.
Parch like coffee, grind and put away
In cool, dark place. Mixed with one
third real coffee, the potato coffee was
much liked, and even when used alone
II was said to be very good. The weak
nerved might try this substitute with
the certainty that they are getting a
drink that is at least unObjectlonable.
