of Lord Denbigh with the Honor

A well-known Boston Ancient was
calling at the embassy, and, being the

London since their visit. Mr.. Choate

Theology was not the Ancient's
strong suit, so he did not venture to
argue the point, but that night he

Choate that, without wishing to cast
any reflections upon the ambassador

looking up Genesis viii, and was re-

experience he encountered in a little
village not far from Philadelphia on

One Hens Ecos.


The efficacy of "one cows milk in
bringing up babies has become an es-
tablished belief. Few are they who
have not at some time heard of the
virtues of this system of feeding a
baby. But that the principle has a
wider application is new thought.
A young architect in one of the
large cities has little son, to whom
he is, naturally, devoted. The child
is rather delicate, and his father is
desirous of nurturing him according to
the most approved methods. The lit
tie mans appetite has to be tempted
in every direction but one. Eggs he
delights in, and gladly accepts one at
each meal. The father was born on
a farm, and is inclined to be suspi-
cious of any eggs found within city
limits; but not long ago he discovered
what seemed to him an honest mar
ketman.
"Can you furnish me with fresh
eggs?" he demanded.
Eyes, sir, we can." was the answer
Perfectly fresh?"
'Perfectly.p
Laid the same day?''
'Well," said the man, doubtfully,
1--WE could guarantee a small quantity
that way"
"They must be perfectly fresh,'' re-
capitulated the fond father. "They
must be three in number. They must
be laid the day they are left at my
door, and they must be one hen s
eggs"-Youth's Companion.

Criticism on the gambling scenes
laid in Hall Gaines book, ''The Prodi-

ing the author to visit several gam
bling places On the Riviera recently,
says a Monte Carlo correspondent of
the Kansas City Journal, so that there
may be lacking no accuracy or real
ism when the dramatized work is
produced in London.
Certain critics, in dealing with the
book, have found fault with the des-
cription Of what they wrongly assume
to be roulette. AS a matter of fact,
that the author described was bacca-
rat. Experienced baccarat players
have, however, pointed out to him
weak points in this scene and he came
to the Riviera expressly to study the
game in its various and most exuber-
ant forms. Under the guidance of one
of the best known European gamblers
and plungers, he visited. all the noto-
rious clubs, casinos and gambling dens
on the Riviera, and while his guide
played baccarat Mr.. Caine took quiet
notes Of all that went on.

called club, at Nice, Mr.. Cain stood
behind the chair of his companion
while in less than an hour he lost

chIeoea Team Owners TO Keep Out Of
Strike Treuhie.
EIGHT THOUSAND MEN AT WORK.
Peace Negotiations in Teamsters'
Strike Abandoned-Desire of Labor
Leaders to Hold National organi-
zation Responsible.

Chicago, June IS. The Chicago
Team Owners Association, an organi-
zation employing 5000 union team
sters, has decided to remain neutral in
the present labor struggle now in
progress in Chicago. Ever since the
commencement of the teamsterS'
strike the Team Owners Association
has been anxious to have the question
of making deliveries to strike-bound
houses submitted to arbitration. The
teamsters by a unanimous vote refus-
ed to agree to the proposition, and for
a time it was believed that the team
owners would force a strike of these
5000 drivers by ordering them to
make deliveries to firms involved in
the strike.
In an effort to learn the sentiment
of the members of the association re-
garding the matter it was decided to
take referendum vote on the ques
ton. This vote was completed today
and resulted in 155 of the members
voting to remain neutral during the
trouble and in three members voting
to compel the teamsters to obey or
owners means that there will be no
strike of these men, and the threaten
ed expansion of the trouble in this
direction has been averted.
The Team Owners Association will
hold a meeting tomorrow night, when
an official announcement of the re-
suit of the referendum vote will be
made
Negotiations for peace, which prom
ised for a time last week to be sue
cessful, have apparently been aband-
oned for the present at least, as both
sides are so far apart on any plans of
settlement by mediation that further
efforts in this direction are believed
to be futile.
The employers declare that they
have conceded every point possible.
The strikers assert that a settlement
along the lines proposed by the en-
ployers would mean "dishonorable
surrender" and this the officials of
the teamsters' union emphatically de-
clare they will never do.
One of the causes of the prolonga-
tiOn of the present strike is said to
be the political ambitions of several
Chicago union leaders. At least three
of the Chicago labor leaders desire
to be president of the national organi-
zation of the teamsters.
President Shea is also desirous of
reelection, and these four men, it is
asserted, have been making every ef-
fort possible to control the Chicago
delegates to the next convention,
which will be held in Philadelphia
August Z. Seven of the local unions
elected delegates to the convention
today. OF these delegates three were
instructed for Shea and the other
four were uninstructed.
With the election of these delegates
out of the way, it was said by labor
leader tonight that the union leaders
would get together and bring about a
settlement of the strike. When ask
ed in regard to this matter tonight
President Shea declared that there
was no truth in the story, and that
all the union men were perfectly sat
isfied with the way in which he has
managed the strike.
There will be no settlement of the
strike" said Shea, until the employ
ers show some disposition to offer US
reasonable terms"

RAILROAD RATE LEGISLATION.

Testifying before the Senate Com
mittee at washington. Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Prouty said
in discussing the proposition to give
TO that Commission the power to regu-
late railway rates:
"I think the railways should make
their own rates. l think they should
be allowed TO develop their own bust
ness. have never advocated any
law, and / am not now in favor OF
any law, which would put the rate
making power into the hands of any
commission or any court. While it
may be necessary to do that some
time, while that is done in some
states at the present time, while 1t is
done in some countries, l am opposed
to it. The railway rate is
property 1t is all the property that
the railway has got. The rest OF its
property is not good for anything un-
less 1t can charge a rate. Now 1t has
always seemed to me that when
rate was fixed, if that rate was an un-
reasonable rate. it deprives the rail-
road company OF its property pro
tanto. 1t is not necessary that you
should confscate the property of a
railroad; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent or four per cent. When
you put in a rate that is inherently
unreasonable, you have deprived that
company of its rights, of its property,
and the Circuit Court of the United
States has jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that.
l have looked at these cases
a great many times, and l can only
come to the conclusion that a rail-
road company is entitled to charge a
fair and reasonable rate, and if any
order of a commission, if any statute
of a state legislature takes away that
rate, the fourteenth amendment pro-
tects the railway company"
