 Chicago, Jan. 31.-~Atl the games In the preliminary round of the Class 4 amateur billiard tournament for the championship of America were finished today with the exception of one. The winners in the three games played to- day were Conklin. of Chicago. Gardner of Passaic, N. T., and Paggenburg of New York.
 ConklIn showed the best form of any of the players in today's contests and unless the others show decided ful- provement in their play the Chicago man will have little trouble in hnish- Ing the lead. Opposed to ConklIn tos night was Stark of Brooklyn, but the Easterner showed up in poor form ana finished 155 points behind Conklin, the final score being 300 to 146 in favor of the Chicago man. The high run so far in the tournament was made by Poggenburg in his game with Rein of Chicago. Poggenburg appeared to be decidedly off his game. but near the end of the contest he made a run of 79. The final score was Poggens burg 300 and Rein 1Ts.
 In the afternoon game Gardner eas- fly defeated Schmitt, the Racine hote4 man. schmitt lost by a score of 300 to 10S.

VEGETABLE LIFE IN PANAMA.

Air Plants and Orchids FestOOn Trees
 Along Canal Route.
 Correspondence of The Countdy Gen.
 tleman.
 The route of the Panama canal will always be a brilliant scene of floral decoration. with air plants and orchids fes ooning the trees and twining vines climbing over every object that will lend them support. The silty soil sends forth fnumerable vegetable products of the most wonderful nature to luxu- riate in the most warn climate. But this paradise of the botanist has the unpleasant disadvantage of always changing and rearranging it's displays, so that observations can never be made twice with similar results. Today the plants are torn up root and branch by the unsympathetis machines of the ex- cavator, or the scientist collects his choice specimens for future. study, leaving only few common, useless plants and vines in possession of the soil; but To! on. the morrow the scene has changed! Dank. strange leaves. heavy entwining vines, fleshly -stalked plants, and even firmly-rooted trees apd shrubs spring up in the night time and choke out all else that lacks vitality and energy to compete with. them.
 Vegetable life is so different from human life on the isthmus! The Panama is slothful and idle, taking weeks to perform 8 work that in a colder cli- mate would require but day or two. The plant would, on the contrary, lux uriate in the soil and climate and grow apace with amazing rapidity. To the visitor 1t seems incredible that bare soil should be clothed within a few days with vegetation that is kneedeep. One looks in vain for the trail that was yesterday so broad and plain through the forests. When the French dug. their way through the soil they left q trail of white earth behind them. buk they had to fight to keep 1t open be- hind them. Their very machines were covered from sight within a few days by the dank. feshy leaves that pushed up from nowhere and monopoIized the earth.
 The orchid hunters of the isthmus have always found their trials and dlficulties increased by the too Iuxu- riant plant growth of the forests To leave their trail open behind they had

HyOmei the Only cAre for catarrh Which Returns Your Money if
 Not satIsfaetorX.

It Is seldom that a druggist has enough faith in the medicine he sells even when prepared by himself to be willing to refund the money if 1t does not cure; but Hyomei has cured so many cases of catarrh among the GUS toners of E. c. Fowler that he offers to refund the money to all who use it and report that they are not satisfied.
 Hyomel is the simplest and most convenient remedy for catarrh ever of fered to the public. Breathed through an inhaler so small that 1t can be car ried in the vest pocket, for few min utes four times a day, 1t will absolute ly kill all the germs of catarrh and cure the disease. Catarrh cannot exist where Hyomei is used. It has a two. fold action killing all the germs in the air passages and lungs and soothing and healing the irritated mucous mem brane.
 Some of the most prominent men and women of the country have gladly given testimonials to Hyomei. After seeking relief in vain. for years this wonderful remedy has cured them of catarrh. and it is no wonder that they want others to know of it.
 D. O. Groff, Editor of The Nicholas ville, Ky, News. writes: Ever since I was a young man l have been troubled with catarrh. and in later years the dis ease became unbearable. Hyomei has helped me so much that wish to pub licly speak of It's merits, so that others afflicted as I have been may be like wise benefited.
 If you have catarrh, accept D. G. FowIer's proposition and use HyomeL The complete outfit of Hyomei costs nut Si.00 and consists of an inhaler a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyo- mel jan ts-2s-feh !.

THE REBATE ABUSES
RAILROADS ANXIOUS FOR THEIR
 SUPPRESSION.
President Spencer Says, However, that the Public Confuses this
 With the Making of
 Rates.

New York, Jan. 31.-Samuel Spencer, President of the Southern Railway, who recently appeared before the House Committee in Washington at a hearing relative to the regulation of freight rates. made a statement today in which he said there had been a misconception of the Presidents purpose in his speech in Philadelphia last night, and that there was a confusion in the public mind between rebate abuses and the making of rates, two opposed things" He added:
 r. If there are rebate abuses. and un- doubtedly there have been some, the railroads of this country. think l may safely say. are unit in agreeing with the President that such abuses should be controlled.
 The President is right and the vast majority of the managers of the rail" toads warmly second him after he re- alizes that conscientious and true spirited railroad men shoud be protect ed from illegal acts of less scrupulous competitors and from interruptions big shippers; but the legislation now pro- posed for granting rate making power to the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion not only does not afford such pro- lection, but 1t necessarily visits upon the innocent punishment intended for the guilty.
 q am glad to see that the President repeatedly cautions against what he calls violent and ill-advised action and urges that the efforts to make pro- gress should be tentative and cautious : When one realizes that, according to the report of the Interstate Commerce Commission for 1903, there were then on fire 2.196,526 tariffs. of which l65,- 174 was filed during that year, and that more than one-third of the commits sions' clerical force were constantly oe- cupied in the mere detail of filing, in- dexing and furnishing information in reference to the tariffs, some idea of the magnitude of this question may be gathered.
 "As said before the Interstate Com, merce Commission, desire to add em- phatically in behalf of a very large pro- portion of the railroads of this coun- try-a very much larger proportion than I have any direct authority to speak for but I can say it safely-that there Is no difference of opinion be- tween the railroads. the country, the Congress and the President on the sub ject that rebates are wrong and that they must be stopped: that secret and discriminatory devices of all kinds, di- rect or indirect, must meet with the same fate; and, to use the Presidents own expression, the highways of transportation must be kept open to all upon equal terms On that fhasis the railway companies are ready and anx- ious to aid and cooperate"

parts of the country at this time of the year to find out what their own prospects are, and the returns we have received this year have been very optimistic; far more SO than they were last year"
 The chorus of optimistic prophecy is swelled by the statements of a corre- spondent of the London "Statist," who has been making a tour of investiga" tion in the United States. My opinion declares this investigator, "iss that the United States has entered upoH another period of trade expansion, which must continue for several years, unless un- foreseen disasters-such as general and persistent failure of crops-should be encountered
 The facts on which this prediction is based consist principaIis of the plen- tiful supply of currency, the good prices secured by farmers, the likell- hood that tine railroads will do a heavy business in transporting the products of the soil and of the manufacturing establishments, and the public confi- dence which is unmistakable, that the general policies of the last two federal administrations will be maintained | California Is looking forward with confidence to the new year, according to the opinion of Mir. J s. Wardell, the l of Commerce"
 'we look for a continuance of tine prosperous conditions on the Pacific coast during the coming year for the | following reasons: CD California and the Pacific coast States generally are reaping a harvest of settlers who are attracted to this coast by truthful and accurate statements of the opportuni- ties afforded men of limited means This is due to judiclous advertising through the medium of the commercial institutions and transportation com panles.
 "(2) The Oriental trade is develop ing rapidly ana the Pacific coast, of course, is the gateway, and must snare in the profitable results.
 "(3) The development of manufac- turing industries on the Pacific coast is fin It's incipiency, and each succeed ing year will add to its wealth in this direction.
 'ID The creation of new machinery permitting of deep mining and the dis- covery of a number of districts on the | Pacific coast which are pouring out the yellow metal in unquencnabie streams will do much toward making 1905 a prosperous year.
 "(5) The Newlands irrigation act, which will redeem vast areas of arid lands and supply homes for thousands in the West, will be one of the prime contributors to our prosperity.
 "(s) California is in an awakened era; its varied, resources are really just becoming known; it's climatic ad- vantases are unexcelled, and 1t Is now the spot upon which the eyes of the world are turned and no matter what reverses and misfortunes the Eastern States may suffer through the aFtifi- cial life It's people may have been lead ing and the speculative !, dehRuohery most Of them have indulged in, the Pacific States, are bound to go ahead and be a refuge for those seeking a purer life and a surer living. There fore, for these reasons, I believe the Pacific coast is on a brink of a year which will bring 1t more wealth and prosperity than any preceding time and these conditions are very likely to be permanent Public Opinion.

be made easier were the water shoes 10

Then he laughingly went on to say that
