The selection of Babcock as ma
tional committeeman is another blow
at the La Toilette forces in Wiscon-
sin, and one Of several the administra-
tion has already dealt them. Babcock
and La Toilette are enemies, as is we'll
understood. In this the Quarles ap-
pointment and various other appoint
ments it has been revealed that the
administration has no sympathy with
La Toilette and that he may expect
little encouragement when he comes
to Washington. from the administra-
tion.
Another important phase of the
New appointment is that it is a blow
at Fairbanks candidacy for president.
The appointment Of New is understood
to be acceptable to Secretary Shaw,
Foraker and most Of the presidential
candidates except Fairbanks. The lat

credit for fairness, but 1t is unthink-

THE OBSERVING ROBIN.
How Does the Bird Know JurI

How Does the Bird Know just
Whore to Bore For Grubsf
once observed a robin boring for
grubs in country dooryard. 1t is a
common enough sight to witness one
seize an angleworm and drag II from
its burrow in the turf, but l am not
sure that l ever before saw one drill
for grubs and bring the big white NOR
sci to the surface The robin | am
speaking of had a nest of young in a
maple near by, and she worked the
neighborhood very industriously for
food. She would run along over the
short grass after the manner of robins,
stopping every few feet, her form stiff
and erect. Now and then she would
suddenly bend her head toward the
ground and bring eye or ear for a mo.
ment to bear intently upon it. Then
she would spring to boring the turf
vigorously with her bill, changing her
attitude at each stroke, alert and
watchful, throwing up the grass roots
and little jets of soil, stabbing deeper
and deeper, growing every moment
more and more excited, till finally fat
grub was seized and brought forth.
Time after time during several days |
saw her mine for grubs in this way and
drag them forth. How did she know
where TO drill? The insect was in every
case an inch below the surface. Did
she hear it gnawing the roots of the
grasses or did she see movement in
the turf beneath which the grub was at
work? know not. l only know that
she struck her game unerringly each
time. Only twice did l see her make
a few thrusts and then desist, as If
she had been for the moment deceived.

ARMOUR FINISH
MAY BE END OF PRI-
VATE CAR MONOPOLY
Railroads Tire of the ExtortiOn of the
Refrigerator Car Companies and
Many of Them VIII Furnish Ice at
Cost To Shippers and Independent
Cars as Far as Observation-Disclosures
Admit the Injustice of Armours
Charges for Icing Cars.

Chicago, May 2S-It now develops
that within n comparatively short
time the Armour refrigerator fruit
line will have no exclusive contracts
over any of the railroads.
The recent exposures regarding the
abuses of the private concerns in the
matter of icing and other auxiliary
charges to shippers have so thorough
ly awakened officers of the railways
that they are determined to cut loose
from the monopoly and deal directly
with shippers, even If millions of dol
lars go into the building of refriger-
ators
Notice has been given that the con-
tract between Armour and the Den
yer & Rio Grande and Rio Grande
Western roads. Gould lines, will not
be renewed. The management of the
Gould lines has directed that here
after the cars of the American Refrig-
orator Transit company, an auxiliary
of the Goulds, be extended to operate
over the two Rio Grande roads. These
cars, being owned by the Gould COM
pany, will charge only the cost OF
icing.
The Illinois Central always has op-
! posed the Armour monopoly and is
now making preparations to wage the
war more relentlessly than ever
| The Big Four, which handles a deal
of fruit and dairy products, will dc
| its own refrigerator car business
While this road, by reason of lacl
of refrigerator cars of its own, will dc
business with the private car lines, /
will enter into no contract giving ex.
elusive privileges to any private con
| cern.
Another road that will decline t
make any exclusive contracts Will
private car companies is the Burling
ton. Investigation shows that ever!
railroad operating out of Chicago il
either arranging to do its own refrig
orator business or, if forced through
lack of cars to use those of the Ar
mour or other lines, will refuse to en-
ter into exclusive contracts and viii
not allow the private companies t
make charges beyond cost of icing.
The railroad officers are of on,
mind regarding the proper method
to do refrigerator business, that is
to charge only cost for icing, whicl
has been the bone of contention be
tween shippers and the Armour an,
other private car lines.
