A Surprise Party.

A pleasant surprise party was
given David Kowalski at his home
on Elizabeth street, last night.
Several interesting games of High
FIVE were played while Miss Celeste
Billingsley rendered some splendid
selections on the piano. A jolly
time was had scooping up potatoes
with spoons. Sophie Weller and
Colonel Wreford cutting for the
prize, Mr.. Wreford being the win
ner.
Bobbing for apples was another
interesting game, the participants
having a share in getting their
faces wet. Other games were play
ed, and prizes were won by Miss
Gladys Rentfro and Cam Hill, the
latter receiving the lucky ! cent
piece.
Those who attended were as fol-
lows: Misses Sophie Weller, Gladys
Rentfro, Agnes Weller, Celeste
Billingsley. Messrs. David Ko-
walsh, host; Colonel Wreford, Cam
Hill, Albert Billingsley, Paul Ko-
walsh, Charlie Kennedy, Oscar Den
nett. Delicious refreshments were
served and the party broke up
II o'clock, all having enjoyed the
evening immensely.
Cheerfulness is one of the great
miracle workers of the world. II
reinforces the whole man, doubles
and trebles his power. and gives
new meaning to his life. No man
is a failure until he has lost his
cheerfulness, his optimistic out
look. The man who carries a
smiling face and keeps cheerful in
the midst of discouragements, when
things go wrong, when the way is
dark and doubtful, is sure to win.

BANKING iFACILI. E TIES.


 The most popular method for travel CTS to provide themselves with funds while away from home is undoubtedly by the user of Letters of Credit.
 A Letter of Credit is a letter of in- itroduetion by a banking house to other banks and bankers in all parts of the world, authorizing the holder to draw against the letter to an amount equal to the amount therein specified. Funds carried in this way while travelling are more secure from theft, fire and other dangers than by any other method.
 The holding of 8 Letter of Credit af- lords the same advantage to traveller as personal bank account with a large number of banks and bankers of repute throughout the world, as well as fla 5cilities, for the forwarding of mail and telegrams free of cost. Other courbe- sies likewise are extended by bankers to holders of Letters of Credit recom- mended to them. Messers. Redmond & Co.,, fl Wall Street, New York, and 5O7 Chestnut Street. Philadelphia, make a speciality of Letters of Credit and are sending to applicants pamphlet, which explains in detail the terms under which they are issued and other information re- garding them.

RAILROADS MUST HAVE
 RIGHT TO MAKE RATES
Continued from First Page.o


 NTessrs. Gould. Morgan, Hartman and Vanderbilt could not either singR or together fix rates on their lines any more than blacksmith could repair a
 watch. Boards of directors did not dis- cuss or fix rates. This was left to ex- pert traffic managers.
 MT. Futile discussed at some length the reasons why there were low rates Eon certain commodities, and the effect of, water. rates on railroad rates from
 North Atlantic ports to southern points,. saying that the railroad rates were yower from Chicago, Cincinnati and other points in the west because I the railroads must meet the water rates. At times railroads, he added, I must carry merchandise at a positive I loss in order to keep the business of the country moving.
 Discussing the long and short haul I propositions, MT. Futile contended that l the higher charges to intermediate points were subject to natural laws,
 and these could not be changed by leg islation. He believed that a large amount of the transcontine busi- ness was carried at a loss. On the Pa cific coast there was competition with
 Germany and other European countries | which carried goods by water. He contended that if congress attempted to say that there should not be charged a | higher ratefor a short haul than a long
 haul, it would destroy business or bankrupt the railroads.
 l r1,.A Sot with absolute power over national banks, did not attempt to fix the rates of interest. If congress should pro- vide that national banksshould not charge more than four per cent, he be- Iieved most of them would liquidate. The reason for the demand for the reg | ulation of railroad rates, he suggested, was that the raods could not get away and could not remove their property. MT. Futile said he had one complaint | to make against the Interstate Com
 merce commission. It went to law too
 often and did not settle enough cases
 by negotiation. .,s. 't.za.a. Instead of nine per cent. Of the
 cases being thus settled, there should l be ninety-nine per cent. 3z MT. Futile urged that the commission
 should be relieved of much of it's pres 1 ent duty. It should investigate cases
 and turn them over to the department
 of justice. -E
 | The commission should not be a quasi
 court, but a buffer between the people { and the railroads.
 Speaking of government ownership
 MT. Futile characterized the English
 railways as the best in Europe. The
 English roads are under private owner
 ship. Tn Germany and France where
 there was government ownership, the
 roads were not as good and the rates l were higher than here.
