Before the Interstate Commerce
Commission, Clarence J. Sparn, coun-
sci for William R. Hearst of New
York, in the latter's case against the
anthracite coal carrying railroads,
charged that the coal strikes of 1900
and 1902 had been transformed by the
railroads into sources of profit, and
that a wage reduction would not be
justified by the lowering of coal rates
and prices as contended by one of the
opposing counsel. Mr.. Sparn said
that it had been argued that this
proceeding was brought to further
the political ambitions of Mr.. Hearst:
and he ridiculed that assertion as one
made frequently in other reform
movements. He said that the con-
tentions of the railroads that they
should be left free and untrammeled
was in line with the opposition of
every violator of the law as to regula-
tion.

NOW ITS THE OIL TRUST.
A Thorough Investigation of the
Standard Oil Company's Business
Is to Take Place. The Usage Wealth
to be Distributed

No more remarkable illustration OF
the wonderful change of sentiment
which has taken place in Congress to-
wards trusts and corporations could
be furnished than was given when the
House of Representatives, almost with
out word of debate and without ref
erence to a committee, adopted by
unanimous vote a resolution providing
for an investigation of the Standard
Oil Company. The Investigation is
to be of the most sweeping character,
and will follow the lines pursued IN
probing into the affairs of the beef
trust. The latter ended few weeks
ago in the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States, when a unanimous and
sweeping decision was rendered
against the trust. The resolution was
proposed by Representative Camp
bell of Kansas. 1t leaves little ground
uncovered.

Pushing the Old Folks aside.

When the babies are cross and a man
would like quiet retreat there is none
for him. But in few years, when the
children are grown and he is in the
way, the daughters and mother put
their heads together and originate a
den. There is no den for the mother be-
cause she gracefully eliminates herself
by sitting in the kitchen or running
over to a neighbours. It is her natural
disposition to hide in a corner or re-
move herself entirely, and it is not the
natural disposition of the father:
hence the den. 1t has a couch and
some pipes and tobacco and TIE books
which the neighbors haven't got around
to borrowing as yet, though if father
begins a story today the book will be
found to be loaned out when he wants
to finish it tomorrow. The den is
fashionable way of pushing the old
man out. If there is one in your house,
Mr. Man, don't be Observation-Disclosures
Globe.

Chinese Porcelain

Cinnamon have been exporting tneir
porcelain to the west for at least a
thousand years and probably longer.
Medieval Europe could make nothing
like porcelain and therefore regarded
it as magical product endowed with
uncanny powers. 1t was said, for in
stance, that a porcelain cup would
break if poison were poured into it.
Travellers declared that porcelain was
composed of various substances, which
after being tempered, were hidden in
the ground for ages before being fit for
use. Even so erudite a man as Sir
Thomas Browne, writing in the later
seventeenth century, was mot thor
oughly resolved, concerning porcellane
or china dishes, that according to COM
mon belief they are made of earth"
The secret of the true Chinese porce-
lain was first discovered in Europe a
generation later by the German chem
list Bottger, the inventor of what is
now known as Dresden china.

Reason For Anxiety.

A large pawnbroker's shop was on
fire, and the fremen were busy trying
to prevent the onfagration spreading.
Among the large crowd of onlookers
was one woman who was evidently in

to more strenuous efforts, and as the
flames leaped higher her grief became
violent.

What's the row?'
"Rowv' exclaimed the lady through

farm, three miles west of the city, at
noon Thursday, completely destroyed

cry. the carriages and horses and stock
were saved, but the loss of grain will be

a man driving a black horse enter the
barn about fifteen minutes before the
fire.
