No OsIerism for Ohio

This chatter about men being of no
value after they are so years of age
makes me weary" said Mr.. Harry Nc
Bride, retired business man of New
York, at the Arlington. "Why, my own
father was so when he was licensed TO
practice law at Worcester, o., and he
was successful at the bar for many
years thereafter. And, speaking OF this
little Ohio town. l can remind you of
some very considerable men who claim
ii as the home of their boyhood. Mr.
Eckert who became president OF the
Western Union Telegraph company,
learned to be an operator there. 1t was
likewise the early home of Mr.. Tag
gart, the leading legal adviser OF the
same company, and also of Mr.. Samuel
haunmann of the Eevening Star, of
Washington. The idea of such men as
tLese being retired for inefficiency AT
the three score limit is not worthy OF

EXCURSION RATES
WILL BE LOWER
Great Western Objects to High Rates and
Will Cut

The excursion business in Minnesota for
the coming year will probably bring with
1t lower rates than for many years before.
Within a month the, business will begin
and the st. Paul roads will, il is said,
offer lower rates to Minnesota points
than for some years past
When summer rates were discussed
some weenS ago in Chicago. many of the
representatives of roads enjoying a good
summer business in Colorado and Michi-
gan expressed their intention of lowering
the rates to those states as much as pos
slble during the season and making up
the difference on higher rates to Mime
sofa points.
The Great Western and several other
roads enjoying good business in Min
nesota seriously objected to this, and pro-
posed contrarily to lower the Minnesota
rates below last years figures if possible.
The other roads. realizing that such a
drastic change as proposed might eventu-
ally result in rate war yielded, and will
not make very great discrimination in
rates against Minnesota points.

said the effect of removing all differentials
would be to concentrate the export bust
ness at the port that had the best IA
cilities for handling freight and could
make the best steamship rates. Naturally
this port would be New York and in his

Mr.. Hiland stated there were no COM
plants regarding the use of private car
lines on his road. The road made the
rate on commodities carried in these
cars. Shippers were more economically
served by private car lines than they
would be without them

CAN HEAR WITHOUT EARS.
According to This Writer the Ex-
ternal Appendages Are En-
tirely Superfuous.

The ear-and when l say "the ear"
l don't mean that oyster-shell-shaped
piece of cartilage that sticks out more
or less from the head about the joint
of the jaw. writes Eugene Wood in Ev-
erybody's. | am often driven to admi-
ration of the way old Dame Nature ca.
vamp up almost any kind of a needed
organ out of a piece of cuticle, but
must confess that the contemplation Of
the pima, which is the trade-name Ar
the oyster shell-shaped attachment,
leaves me cold. don't think much of
it. 1t looks to be like waste of good
material. Until comparatively re-
cent date it was considered to be good
fun, little rough, perhaps, but good,
healthy, clean sport, to get hold of
some fellow and trim him up just
about to suit us, nose sliced off, an
eye gouged out and few little things
Hike that. Experiment along these lines
developed the fact, disappointing in the
extreme to all practical jokers, that q
man with his ears cut off hears every
bit as well as with them on. 1t takes
something more penetrating to put the
hearing out of commission. The pima
has every indication of being an insti-
tuition that has outlived its usefulness.

HOW THE CAR is GUARDED
Surrounded by a Whole Regiment
and Has Personal Body
Guard.

So long as the car and czarina re-
main inside their palace at Tsarskoe
Selo, it will be difficult for any terror
list to penetrate close enough to injure
them, though, of course, on any public
appearance they are exposed to many
dangers; as witness the mysterious
gunshot which created such excitement
on the occasion of the blessing of the
Neva, and which is supposed to have
been less accidental than the official re-
port declared. The Preobrangensky
regiment Of the Imperial Guards, from
which the protectors of the persons Of
the car and czarina are drawn is the
crack regiment of the Russian army,
and the sovereign himself is its chief.
Beside these, there are also number
OF personal attendants who supervise
the cars movements, and, of course,
there are the endless members of the
third section, which has figured so
much in all Russian affairs. They are
often engaged spying upon the men,
bers of the czar's encourage, especially
if there be any reason to suppose that
they are in touch with the revolution
aries, or in any way suspect. Constant
suspicion is the lot Of every one con-
nected with the cars household; yet
there is no greater ambition among the
young Russian mobiles than to be enter
ed in the corps as pages, and thence
to achieve position close to the cars
person.

GAMBLING IN THE oLD-TIME
When the Practice Formed . Part
Of High-Class Social
Existence.

Some of the old stories told OF the
gaming tables can hardly be believed
nowadays, though they are related IN
such cool, matter-of-fact style oy
writer's of the time as to show that IN
the eighteenth and early nineteenth
centuries the practice formed a part
of high-class social existence. Capt
Gronow relates that, having been APP
pointed to the staff of Gen. 'fcton. who
was then starting for Brussels (1S15).
he obtained $1,000 from the army
agents, which" he continues, 81 took
with me to a gambling house in st.
James square, where / managed, by
some wonderful accident to win $500
(S3,000). With this sum he subse-
quently provided his necessary outfit.
When the allies marched into Paris
after the battle of Waterloo Gronow
found the Palais Royal a hot-bed OF
gambling-"the very heart OF French
dissipation" There were tables for
all classes; the workman might play
with 20 sous or the gentleman with
10000 francs. The law did not prevent
any class from indulging in vice that
assisted to fill the Golfers of the NUM-
cipality of Paris" The English
visitors were not slow to participate In
the play, one officer of the guards OBJ
tanning leave of absence and never
quitting the Palais Royal till the time
came for his return to the regiment
Large fortunes were often lost at
gambling IN those days, the losers dis
appearing never more to be heard Of.
Lord Thanet, for instance, who had an
income of s250,00O year, lost every
farthing at play and, concludes Gro
now: IL do not remember any instance
where those who spent their time In
this den did not lose all they possess
ed"
