DELEGATES TO S. F. OF L. WILL
GO TOMORROW NIGHT.
Brainerd Has Completed Arrangements
for the Entertainment Of the Visit
ors-Business Will Begin Monday
How the Candidates for the Various
Offices Are Lined Up.

Arrangements have been made with
the Northern Pacific Railway compa-
ny to attach special car to the regu-
lar train leaving Minneapolis at 10:45
tomorrow night for the accommodation
Of the delegates to the convention OF
the State Federation Of Labor, which
meets at Brainerd on Monday next.
A number Of St. Paul delegates will
come over and go with the local del
egates, and it is understood the car
will go thru to the convention city.
Those who wait over to take the train
Sunday morning will be compelled to
stop in Staples until about 3 O'Clock
Monday morning, SO the Saturday night
train is the favorite.
ance It is estimated that at least
sixty will go from Minneapolis and
about the same number from st. Paul.
Next to the twin cities in point Of at
tendance will come Duluth, and Man
kato, Winona, Saltwater, Little Falls
and Brainerd will all send more than
the usual number of representatives.
Candidates for the various offices
in the federation are not SO numerous
as in former years, but there will be a
lively contest for president, while
places on the. executive council will
be eagerly and ,keenly sought. Harry
L. Dix, the present head Of the fedora.

standing for reelection. That he will
have lots of opposition is certain. L. +.

before the election takes place Mr.
Dix or Mr. Thomas will withdraw from
the field, either, in case the other with

An OyerWorked Man.

Professor Hugo R. Meyer Of Mr..
Rockefeller s university is a very active
man. His peculiar brand of activity just
now appears to take the form of max
ing addresses and offering testimony
against the government control of rail
road regulation. Of course, if Mr..
Rockefeller had not been able to profit
by railroad Discrimination and secret re-
bates, there would probably have been
no Chicago university, and Mr.. Hugo
Meyer would not have been available
for the purposes for which he appears
to be so useful at present, but under
the circumstances his activity seems to
be justified on the basis Of paying debts
of long standing. T. T..
Mr.. Meyer has just been before the
national convention Of millers in Kan
sas City repeating the testimony which
he gave to the Interstate commerce com
mittee to the, effect. that it would, be
quite impossible for the government to
take any hand whatever in the making
of railroad rates without at once adopt
ing the distance tariff principle and de
priving Northumberland localities Of any
advantage that might accrue to them
by virtue of competition, geographic
position or in any other way. He makes
the mistake Of not only declaring this
theory but Of asserting that the inter
state commerce commission has general
ly acted upon the distance tariff prin-
ciple. sz -
The Journals has recently had
some testimony direct from the mem
bers of the commission themselves bear
ing upon this point: Commissioner
Prouty gave T h e J ourna i, on June
8, an extended statement in REPUTATION
of Mr.. Meyers theory and backed it
up by citing cases and rulings Of the
mission has invariably declined to ap
ply the distance rule when competitive
conditions prevail The commissioner
cited the last case decided involving
rates upon export traffic to Boston
New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore
from Western points, in which the com
mission held that the rate to the port
Of export should not be determined BY
distance, but should be so adjusted a:
to permit free competition to all thu
; ports. -I..~s e.
The commissioner proceeded-~t to dis
cuss this question at some length, il
5 the course of which he said: "W
2 must not be understood as holding tina
| the cost Of transportation alone con
9 trolls. Rates cannot be made with
? yardstick. Commercial conditions an,
: physical conditions and the condition
: of the carriers themselves must be cor

THE MAGAZINES

Appleton's Booklovers' Magazine.-D.
Appleton & Company have acquired the
'Bookloyers' Magazine" Of Philadelphia,
and will publish it in New York under the
title of "Appleton's Booklovers' Maya
zine,' beginning with the July number.
It is understood that the policy of the
magazine will be changed, and that the
fact and fiction of Appleton's best au-
thorss will be published in it serlally. The
house will naturally make an extraordl-
nary effort to have the first number pub
lished under the new title a great sue
cess, and much is to be expected OF it.
Modjeska's Method of Study.-Modjes-
kas method Of studying for character
is her own, and is extremely interesting
from a psychological standpoint, says the
Review of Reviews for June. She has a
remarkable power of accommodation.
While studying a character she is to rep
resent on the Stage, she literally places
herself in the situation created by the
author. She lives in the same conditions,
and is unable to think of anything else
during her studies. While she is studying
a Shaksperean role, even when Inter
rupted by the demands of her everyday
life, she acts and talks in the manner and
language of the character she has been
studying. Altho her repertory is a varied
and extensive one, the roles IN which she
is best known among Americans are those
Of Mary Stuart; Catherine, In Henry
