was waited on recently by a delega-
ton of merchants from the American
Asiatic association, which represents
the cotton textile and steel industries
of the United States. Its members
claim that the retention Of the patron
age Of the Chinese is essential to the
prosperity Of these industries and that
the exports to China In these lines Of
trade amounted during the past fiscal
year to about $5O,OOO,OOO.
It is said that the anti-American agi-
tation in China is due in part to the
Identification system adopted by our
immigration authorities. A great many
coolies got into this country under the
guise of merchants and students and
professional men. To prevent the con-
tinuance Of this the department Of i'm
migration set about devising methods
which should be effective In keeping
out all Chinese except those whose ad
mission was permissible under the
laws. It was discovered that a ring
existed which was growing rich from

BROOKLYN CENTENARIAN

Josiah Zeitlin of Brooklyn was 100
years old on Monday last, and spent
a very comfortable day. A reporter,
who asked Mr.. Zeitlin how he had done
his 100-year stunt with so few marks
of wear and tear, got this answer:
Never have a doctor, and don't go
into a drug store. Don't worry. Never
be in hurry. Don't eat quick lunch
es. Take very little meat, especially
early in life. Be sure to sleep eight
hours a day. When you reach the age
of 80 do as you please
The reporter hung around the house
during the day, and, unless he is ly-
ing, the old man puts in a daily pro-
would kill a person who wasn't ali
tripe and picked to the ordeal. Mr..
Zeitlin rises every morning at 5
o'clock and has cup OF tea. At 6 he
drinks a glass of beer, smokes a cigar
and a Russian cigarette. He is then
ready for a light breakfast and an
other smoke. Eight o'clock is the hour
for two whiskies He has another at
10. Promptly at noon he has two sand
wiches and two glasses of beer. Dur
in the afternoon he smokes and sips
toddies, varying his drink occasion
ally to beer His meal of the day comes
at o'clock, when he has a large bowl
of beef tea, a steak or roast beef, with
at least three vegetables in generous

Edward S. Brink, a civil war vet
eran vino has just died at Ashland,
Wis, paid the penalty of being found
in bad company. He was an intimate
acquaintance of Wilkes Booth and
went up to Washington to see him the
day he murdered the president. Mr.
Brink was arrested and kept in Jail
three months, though he knew moth
ing of the conspiracy. Thereafter he
was extremely careful about his
friendships.

So recklessly they took the cake be-

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS:
SOME CONCRETE CASES.

The anonymous railroad contributor
to the current Outlook, whose inter-
eSing statements were referred to by
the Statesman a few days ago, gives
some specific instances of discrimina-
ton against localities by which, as he
says, natural markets are being grad
ually replaced by those artificially
controlled" He cites the rates made
to southern points on refined Oil.
From Lima, Ohio, in the center of the
producing fields, the rate to Mo-
bile, Ala, is 1926 cents. From Chicago
to Mobile, practically the same dis
lance. the rate is % cents The ex-
PLANTATION is that a Standard Oil re-
finery is located at Chicago, to which
oil is pumped in pipe lines from Lima
and the surrounding territory.
A still more glazing discrimination
is SHOWN in corn rates to the seaboard.
From Omaha and Council Bluffs to
n,
cents a hundred. From Denison, Og-
den and Boone, Iowa, three points
distant from New York 1,341, 1868 and
1852 miles, respectively, the rate is rs
cents. The railroads are charging
nearly double the rate for a shorter
haul, with no apparent reason except
to favor the larger market. The loca-
ton of the Iowa towns will not permit
of any argument like that of lake and
rail competition, for these towns are
as much nearer the lakes as they are
to New York. They are practically as
near the gulf ports as the favored
cities on the Missouri.
THESE tariffs would make good ma
terial for reflection on the part of rail-
road officials who scott at the ignor-
ance of government officials and COM
missions. 1t is hard to see how a
commission could do worse, and, in
fact, the proposed law would not give
them an opportunity. 1t would only
give the government a chance to cor
rect such injustice. AS the Outlook
writer points out, the tariffs cited are
not transgressions of the present law,
and yet more gross, manifest unjust
discrimination AMI "urrecs "',or,s
preference" would be har7 to contrive.
Il have been unable he says, ito find
any man acquainted with the tra"s
portation business in the middle ives,
these tariffs was based on the COM
mercial value Of the services render
ed" the standard agreed upon D. the
international congress.
The article cites another kind OF
abuse, coming under the head OF Z
midnight tariff A grain merchant
last spring accumulated about twenty
million bushels of corn in his elevators
and when he had them full, a tariff
was filed reducing the cost of his haul
to market by cents a bushel He
had evidently bought the grain under
bargain with the railroad by which
this tariff was filed, and so was acting
with an unfair advantage over COM
petitors.
The opponents of railroad rate leg
islation are fond of denying the gen.
trail statements regarding the abuses
of rate-making power, and demanding
a bill of particulars. How will the
foregoing do for samples?
