A group Of traffic managers and
auditors at the convention OF street

telling stories of street railroadiDg.
Irwin Fuller OF Detroit said:
"a pretty Irish girl, fresh from the
old country, sat in trolley carlook-
ing at the strange American country
with modest interest.
"She had soft gray eyes, face like
roses and lilies, beautiful hair and
white teeth.
"Your fare, miss, said the conduc-
tor, pausing before her.
"She blushed and bit her lip.
"Your fare, miss, he repeated.
Sure, said the girl; an what il
be? Ye must not be repeatin' 1t
like that before folks.

Letter to Sam Levy & Co.,
Butler, Mo.

Gentlemen: The easiest business
in this world is dry-goods; the reason
is: your customers want your stuff as
much as you want to sell 1t; they
come IN; you show it and sell it
That's the whole business, except
your buying the goods.
Devoe comes next. 1t saves money,
and people like money. They like
somebody else's more than their own;
they like to make It more than to
save it; they like to keep it perhaps
as we'll as to make it.
Buildings rundown fast, without
paint; poor paint is the same. Devoe
lie the means Of stopping that leak; a
ok one. Al 1--we pot - do, to sell
Devoe, is to show that man saves
money by using it.
E. D. Jewell, Cory, Pa, painted
his house 5 years ago with mixed
paint; IA gallons. Last spring be
painted Devoe; 10 gallons. Saved
s15 to $40.
Yours truly,

OF establishing two and a half mil
lion dollar concern Of this kind in the
South, and Mr.. Thompson is looking
over the field with view of finding
suitable location on their lines. The
things especially necessary in the city
where this enterprise is to be estab-
llshed are good supply Of water,
cheap freight rates. high cass of oper-
atlves. good school and church adj
vantages. A plant such as the one
proposed would employ all together.
In the mill, dyeing and finishing
plants, between five and six hundred
operatives. A large number Of these
would be secured from the best class

RATE BILL IS OPPOSED

Representatives O. 40 Leading Coal
Mines in the Knoxville Section
Draw Up Petition Declaring Elkins
Antl-Rebate Law Suficient-Fina]
Action Delayed Until Meeting at
Louisville.
knoxville, Tenn, Special.-A meet
ing OF coal operators of Tennessee
and Kentucky was held here at which
forty leading mines of this section
were represented. Their meetings
were secret and definite action was
delayed on the Esch- Townsend bill.
for which purpose the meeting was
called, until after meeting OF Louis
Vile, KY, which will be held there
by the coal men of the northern end
OF the district. 1t is the plan to Sc
cure representative committee from
the two sectional meetings and send
the same to Washington to appear be-
fore the Senate committee and set
before them their objections to the
Esch-Townsend bill. A petition drawn
up recites the belief of the coal ope-
rators that the demand for new rate
legislation is the outcome of failure
OF some Of the common carriers to
lmpartially apply the published tariff
to all shippers, by the granting of
rebates, concessions from tariff rates
either directly or indirectly. \ The pc
tition further recites that the Pres
ident is right in demanding the stop
page of all rebates, expresses the be-
lief that the Elkins law effectively
remedies the rebate question when
properly enforced, and urges the pas
sage of legislation necessary to pro-
vide the proper machinery for the
effective stoppage of rebates of what
ever character arising from the fail
ure to observe impartially the pub
ished rates Of railroads. "Any leg
islation,' recites the petition, "that
will radically disturb the prevailing
conditions will inure to our injury
by destroying the elasticity of present
rate-making methods, and as far as
coal rates are interfered with at all,
local monopolies will be created by
law, which present methods of rate
making make IMPOSSIBLE The pc
tition recognizes that there are evils
to remedy, expresses the belief that
the Esch-Townsend bill will not fur
nish relief and prays for a hearing.

testimony of James Hazen Hyde IN

calumny'' and when he was asked
whether he directly or indirectly had
made threats to have the charter OF

voked, his face flushed, and striking
the arm of the witness chair with
his fist, he exclaimed. "There IS no
