Had to Keep His Eyes oD.n.

There is an ancient mendicant,
long known to those who go through
Vesey street to the North river fer
ries, New York city, who has lately
laid away his "Pity the Blind" sign
and his wheezy little organ, and now
helps pick up waste paper and fruit
skins in the Pennsylvania railroad
station, Jersey City. His excuse is
convincing. "You see," he says,
"times got so hard I just had to
keep my eyes open to do any bust
ness at all."-Success.

.REPRIEVE FOR

Cow Bell Grants a Stay Of ExeCu-
ton Until June 2.


Gov. G. j. Bell on Thursday an
nounced that he had decided to grant
a four-months' reprieve to Mrs. Mary
M. Rogers of Bennington, condemned
to be hanged in the state prison at
Windsor, Friday, Feb. 3, for the
murder of her husband, Marcus Rog-
ers. He stated that he took this
step solely on the ground that she
claimed through her attorneys that
she had not had fair trial and that
the evidence produced against her
was false.
1t is claimed that the confession OF
Leon Perham, her accomplice, tends
to show that he accurately admins
tered the chloroform that killed Rog-
ers.

ROCKEFELLER REPLIES.
Declares DR.. GLADDEN. Misrepresented
Him in Gift Matter.

Starr ]. Murphy, of John D. Rockefeller's
private counsel issued the following state
ment by Mr.. Rockefeller's authority at
New York yesterday:
"In his latest attack upon Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter, DIR. Washington GLADDEN. seeks to make
out case Of perjury, and in doing so as
sumes paternity for d falsehood which has
been frequently published during the past
ten years, and until now never answered.
Or GLADDEN. says: The South Improve
ment Company was one of the schemes In
vented by the Standard OH magnates to
plumber their competitors and enrich them
selves The organization and the methods
of this company were abundantly proved
in court and the company was driven out
Of business. A few years afterward. before
a committee Of the New York legislature
Mr.. Rockefeller, under oath, took part in
the following colloquy:
There was such conSOany?'
"''I have heard of such a company"
'"You were not in it?'
"'''I was not"
"'Mr. Lloyd appropriately adds: so help
me God" On the same day another of the
former trustees and one of the closest aSsO
ciates of Mr.. Rockefeller, being asked by
a congressional committee, who made up
that South Improvement Company named
as among them the principal members of
the Standard Oil Company and at the head
of them all stood the name of John D.
Rockefeller
DIR GLADDEN. makes much OF his position
as an original investigator, and says that 1t
Is within the power of every intelligent
man to find out from the original dOcu-
mentS whether the statement is true or not.
But, unfortunately, his statement Is I'M
true, and his whole charge of perjury rests
upon a garbled report. The testimony Is
taken from "a report of Investigation
relative to trusts New York senate. 1888,
pages 1920. Any one turning to that re-
port will find that Mr.. Rockefeller's testi-
mony to the effect that he was not in
such company did not refer to the South
Improvement Company, but to another en-
tirely different corporation called the South
ern Improvement Company. There were
two corporations-the South Improvement
Company and the Southern Improvement
Company. The Southern Improvement
Company was incorporated in Pennsylvania
April 10. 1870 and Mr. Rockefeller was not
connected with 1t. The South Improvement
Company was Incorporated over a year
later, May g. 1871, and Mr.. Rookie Teller was
connected with It, The charters of both
these corporations are printed in full In the
statutes of Pennsylvania. and are acces-
sible to all.
III DR.. GLADDEN. has menda ciously garbled
the testimony in order to make out a case,
there Is nothing more to say. If he has
done it ignorantly and has confused the
names of these two corporations he is
scarcely less culpable. since before making
a charge OF so serious a character 1t was
obviously his duty to possess himself Of the
facts"

THE TRANSVAAL CONSTITUTION.
New British Document is Denounced by
Gen. Cronie

General Cronje, who was member OF

twelve years and a noted Boer leader dis
tinguished for his services at the siege OF
Paardersburg. and who is now on a tour
of America, was shown a synopsis OF the
new constitution for the Transvaal at Nor
folk Va, yesterday. He said:
1T IS a breach OF the treaty OF peace

81, 1862, which promised a enlightenment

Just Rates and No Discrimination.


The governments acquisition of the
railway line was not primarily for the
purpose of affecting railway or ocean
rates, transContinental or otherwise. 1t
was for the purpose of acquiring an in
strument with which to construct the
canal, an instrument absolutely indispen-
sable to the accomplishment of our pur-
pose within a reasonable time. The Incl
dent that we must hold the railroad I'M
mercial business is what imposes upon us
the obligation to do what we can to make
just rates and prevent discrimination,
and this we shall do. II this ameliorates
conditions we shall be very glad. If 1t
does not it will not be in our power to
do more.
The effect of changes in rates and
trade conditions is so elusive that it is
hardly safe to make a prediction as to
the result. One should study the local
conditions which prevail at Panama and
at the many ports between San Francisco
in Mexico and Central America, and
should estimate the exact operation of
our coastwise laws which prevents the
intervention of foreign shipping in the
trade via the isthmus between San Fran
cisco and New York, before expressing an
opinion as to the effect of the govern
ments operation of the Panama railroad
upon the trade between our east and
west coast.

Rates on the Steamships.

Rates on the Steamships
THE Panama Railroad Company owns
three steamships, which ply between New
York and Colon. We shall make the rate
upon these ships as low as possible con-
sistent with paying a reasonable compen-
sation for the carriage and the investment.
We shall run them merely for the purpose
of preventing a combination to raise the
rates for the delivery of material for the
construction of the canal from the United
States to the isthmus.
The government is not running and
does not expect to run q line between
New York and San Francisco between
San Francisco and New York hence the
relation Of Its policy to transcontinental
rates Is only indirect The policy of the
Panama Railroad Company heretofore in
view of it's ownership of the three ships
and the docks a t Colon and It's resulting
ability to exclude from the New York
and Colon business any other steamship
line, has been to monopoltze the trade be-
tween New York and Panama on the one
side, while Its arrangement for exclusive
through billing between New York and
San Francisco with the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company produced monopoly
for the Pacific Mail trade on the other
side between Panama and San Francisco
on the north and a monopoly for the
Chilean and Pacific steamship companies
from Panama to the south. So far as the
action of the Panama Railroad Company
can break up these monopolies it is being
taken.

for tenant on a cotton farm to escape

that 1t IS unsual to find one who is dis

understand If they run short of cornmeal

out until the next crop Is marketed.
THE negro IS especially adapted TO grow
ing cotton. 1t Is also a fact that the cli-
mate in which cotton grows most success
fully is peculiarly adapted to the African
race. We would not be understood TO urge
that the northern white man cannot plant
and cultivate cotton equally as well as the
negro, nor would we even intimate that
they cannot withstand the scorching sun
of a cotton climate; but experience has
shown that the negroes OF the Mississippi
valley are the natural producers OF cotton,
and the northern farmers get better
suits when they recognize this fact and
employ them either as tenants or laborers,
to do such work"
