fine November day. The path zigzags
up the precipitous western face of the
mighty rock; now and again we
passed a sentry and had to show our
passport. Once we had gained the
summit we felt ourselves more than
amply repaid. Whichever way one
turns the views are truly superb.
Westward, across the bay of Gibral-
tar, with its magnificent setting of
hill and mountain, lay the extreme
south of beautiful Andalusia. North
and east stretched Malaga and Gra-
Eada. with the splendid heights of
the Sierra Nevada in the far distance.
Eastward rolled the blue Mediter-
ranean; the white canvas of sailing
bark showed right beneath us, and
steamships piled. like gigantic water
beetles, pushing steadily on their
course. Southwark, close at hand, the

He Didn't Know Jefferson

My agent had been a manager in

markable Italian appellation l cannot
say, but if his ancestors belonged to
the land of song they must have
strayed into the very heart of White
chapel just previous to the birth Of
their son and heir, as his dialect was
strongly impregnated with the drawl-
ing twang of that locality. 1t is re-
corded of him that he never was
known to put an h in the right place,
and his talent for reversing the W and

Actors as Wood Carvers

During the nine tranquil years that

passion play at Oberammergau most
of the actors in that wonderful drama

excessively they devote their skill to
the production of sacred figures and
objects.
A worldwide reputation is enjoyed
by the Christ carvers" Of Oberam-
mergau, as they are called. A popu-
lar play bears that name, and speci-
mems of their wonderful handiwork
NAV be found in nearly every city of
the globe.
Many of the carvings are sold to
such tourists. while others are sent to
nearby cities and placed upon the
market, drifting eventually all over
the world.

These apes are baboonlike crea-

Just Discrimination in Railway Rate,

Just Discrimination in Railway Rates.
All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject in responsible way
are likely to agree with President
Samuel Spencer Of the Southern Rail-
way when he says: There is no d.
vision Of opinion as to the desirability
of stopping all secret or unjustly dis
criminatory devices and practises OF
whatsoever character"
Mr.. Spencer, In speaking OF "un-
Justly discriminatory" rates and de-
vices, makes a distinction which Is at
once apparent to common sense. Tnere
may be discrimination in freight rates
which Is just, reasonable and impera-
lively required by the complex COM
mercial and geographical conditions
with which expert rate makers have
to deal. To abolish such open and
honest discrimination might paraiyze
the industries of cities, states and
whole sections Of our national terri.
tory
This distinction between just and
unjust discrimination is clearly recog-
nized in the conclusions Of the Inter
national Railway Congress, published
yesterday:
Tariffs should be based OIL CONNER
cial principles. taking into account the
special conditions which bear upon the
commercial value of the services rem
dered. With the reservation that rates
shall be charged without arbitrary dis
crimination to all shippers alike under
like conditions. the making of rates
should as far as possible have all the
elasticity necessary to permit the devel-
opment of the traffic and to produce the
greatest results to the public and to the
railroads themselves"
The present proposal Is, as Mr..
Walker D. Hines Of Louisville showed
in his remarkable testimony the other
day before the Senate Committee at
Washington, to crystalline flexible and
justly discriminatory rates into fixed
government rates which cannot be
changed except by the Intervention OF
some government tribunal, and by this
very process to increase "the tempta-
tion to depart from the published rate
and the lawful rate in order to meet
some overpowering and urgent com.
mercial condition."-New York Sun.

DOES ERIE WANT IT?


 Wisconsin Central Sold Yesterday.
 Milwaukee. Wis, Oct. 1o.-The Jour nal to-day says: "The Wisconsin Gen. tral road has been sold and the new interests are in full control. They rep resent big eastern financiers, and the change means that the lines will finally enter Milwaukee, possibly by means of the Milwaukee Southern, and that it will become part of great railroad system.
 As sized up by Milwaukee financial interests and railroad men the changes indicate a desire on the part of the Erie road to get control of tine Wiscon- sin Central in order to get short route by car ferry to Manitowoe for a connection with the Great Northern railroad at Minneapolis and Ashland. Former officers of the Pere Mar quette railroad have obtained interests in the line. The Pere Marquette road was recently absorbed by the Erie system. It is now figured out that the Erie also wants the Wisconsin Cen tral."

The comedy and pathos role which Raymond Hitchcock assumes in Easy Dawson," which will be seen at the Hyperion theater Saturday afternoon and evening is one which he has long been anxious to play. Rip Dawson, in a way, suggests the great original Rip of the Van Wrinkle family. Like the other Rip Rip Dawson is shiftless and is fond of the bottle, and in his mildly bibulous way Mir. Hitchcock scores some of his funniest points. In the scenees with his daughter Rip touches the sentimental spots his hearers. Again. in the last act with Rip come to his own and everything rosy he is the old Hitchcock of 'The Yankee Con sul'' days. The star has some able as- sitant, specially in the artistic efforts of Miss Julie Herne and Miss Flora za- belle. The former plays his daughter and the latter a village fiirt.
