Death of n. U. Walton.

The death of Mr.. Harry Underhill Wal
ton, assistant manager of the New Will
lard Hotel, occurred about $50 clock last
evening at his residence, 10 Goth street,
the cause being disease of the heart. The
death was unexpected by his associates at
the hotel and therefore they We're greatly
startled by the sad announcement.
Final arrangements for the funeral will
be deferred until tomorrow morning, when
Mr. w. II. Walton, brother of deceased.
is expected to arrive here from his home at
Jacksonville Fla. The services here will
take place perhaps tomorrow afternoon and
the remains be shipped to Roanoke, Va,
for burial.
pathetic feature of Mr.. Waltons death
is that he was married December 10 to
Miss Martha Van Meter Of this city.
Mr.. Harry Underhill Walton was thirty
one years of age at the time of his death.
He was born in Roanoke, Va. Early in life
he started in the hotel business, working
his way up, through industry and an af-
fable and attractive personality, by sue
cessye steps, from room clerk at the I'M
perial Hotel In New York city to the Hotel
Gordon, where he remained three or four
wears, and thence to the New Willard from
the time of the opening of the new struct-
ure. first as chief clerk and then as as
sistant manager.

Plants in Sleeping Rooms.
From Leslie's Weekly


The old notion still holds among many
people of this and other lands that flowers
are not wholesome in a sleeping room Ger
tain plants. among which the geranium.
the lily and the begonia, supposed. for
some unexplained cause to give off an odor
at night especially obnoxious. Scientific
knowledge and numerous experiments have
repeatedly disposed of these decisions. and
1t is great pity that people should deprive
themselves of the pleasure and satisfaction
to be derived from flowers for reasons
which are not reasons at all. 1t is true
there are few tropical plants which give
off perfume unhealthful to breathe at any
time, but these plants rare and only
number few out of tens of thousands at
the most. The green leaves of all flowers
are, on the other hand, most beneficial,
since they purify the air. Even the doctors
are beginning to recognize that they may
aid in the cure of disease, and a hospital in
New York has a flower ward which is used
for the treatment of suitable cases
Suppose one Is confined in his bed room
with bad cold, an attack of influenza.
bronchitis, or even consumption, he cannot
90 better than surround himself with pots
OF any kind of plant that has profusion of
green leaves. Geraniums are the lea ST va In
able in this respect, and strong-smelIino
MOWERS like musk, should be avoided How
the leaFes act as therapeutic agents is
easily explained What renders the air of
room stuny and unwholesome is the car
bonic acid we breathe forth. Green leaves
however, breathe 1t in, consume the car
bonic acid and breathe forth pure oxygen.
Moreover, they give off in yapor the water
taken up by the roots, and thus act the
part of a bronchitis Kettle. Consequently
the patient is refreshed and provided
there is sufficieney of plants, ne is exhil-
arated. Even people in health would do
we'll to give this pleasant cure a trial,
pecially during the months when so much
time is spent indoors, and when ventlla-
tion is at it's worst. They would find them
selves suffering less ennui. fewer head
aches, fewer colds. and would also better
resist the attack of serious lung diseases.

How to Walk.

From the Family Doctor.
There is no virtue in a dividing saunter.
The slow and languid dragging of one foot
after the other, which some people call
walking, would tire an athlete; 1t utterly ex-
hausts weak person, and that is the rea-
son why many delicate persons think they
cannot walk. To derive any benefit from
the exercise II is necessary to walk with
light. elastic step. which swings the weight
OF the body so easily from one leg to the
other that its weight Is not felt. and which
produces healthy glow, showing that tls
sluggish blood Is stirred to action In th
most remote veins.

THE RAILROADS SIDE
ARGUMENT OF MR. MOOT, COUN-
Sci FOR THE ERIE.
Hearing Resumed in the Hearst Case
Before the Interstate Com
merce Commission.

Arguments were begun before the inter-
state commerce commission today by
counsel for the respondent railroads in the
Hearst coal case. charged with discrimina-
ton and monopoly. Mr.. Shearn. attorney
for Mr.. Hearst, having completed his pre-
sentation of the compliments side of .the
question. Adelbert Moot, special counsel
for the Erie opened. He began by saying
that the complainant had no case and
made a general denial of the right of
Hearst to bring the action which has been
under consideration for so long.
He said that it had never been shown
that Mr.. Hearst had ever bought single
ounce of anthracite coal. and that until
such was proven the complainant had no
rights in the premises and none to bring
the action. Mr.. Hearst, he said, was not
a coal buyer, but disinterested party.
which made the case academic in nature
and not actual. 1t should have been
shown, he contended, that the complainant
was buyer of the coal freighted by the
defendant roads before his complaint had
weight with the interstate commerce COM
mission.
Mr. Shearn Closes.
In continuing his argument yesterday Mr..
Shearn occupied the entire day and closed
this morning. He contended that between
1897 and 1903 the defendant roads had de-
parted from the published tariffs and i'm
posed discriminating rates. As instance
he cited the case of John c. Haddock an
independent operator. He said that the
purchasing contracts were really contracts
for rates, and that by means of the differ
ence between the actual and the published
rates Haddock had sustained a loss of
$500, 900 by this discrimination. which
forced his company into receivership.
w. w. Ross, counsel for the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroad, admit
ted that 1t had paid Haddock $4,000.
which Mr.. Shearn Immediately contended
was a recognition of the validity of his
contention of discrimination. Mr.. Shearn
alleged that the New York, Ontario and
Western and the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad purchase contracts
amounted to transportation contracts ana
claimed the roads were both carriers ana
sales agents He said it was the duty
of the commission to issue an order against
the discrimination resulting from these con-
tracts, directing the roads to cease exact
ing from non-contract shippers any greater
rate than that worked oat under the pur-
chase contract

tracts, when the recalcitrants were forced
to pay full tariff rates, which was ruinous
to them.
