A Columbia gentleman tells this un-
usual choking hatcher etory: One
of his hens was setting on fifteen eggs.
few days before time for them to
hatch he tested them and threw two
away as worthless. The remaining
thirteen hatcned and the chicks were
removed from the nest. The next day
the hen had fifteen chickens, instead OF
thirteen, and the man claims she dis
covered the two eggs he had thrown
away aud Matched them also.
A tramp, with his thumb thrust in
his shirt front and an expression of
awful pain upon his face, entered the
Office of Dr. Rob't Pillow at the Infrm-
AIRY late Tuesday afternoon, claiming he
had been hurt in the wreck and wanted
a pass to hls home in New Orleans. DR..
Pillow examined TIA. man and discovered
there was nothing the matter with him.
He notified Ticket A gent Orr at the de.
pot. who, in turn, notified Capt Merri-
field. The tramp finally put in his APP
pearance at the station and approached
both gentIemen. Free fare was denied
him and be left, probably to catch the
next freight going south.
There were ABOUT hundred passen-
gers brought 10 from the wreck Tues
day morning and left at the depot until
train could be made up to take them on
their journey. They were curious
sight Some were bareheaded; some
had on hats that we're either too small
or too large; others wore shoes that did
mt fl, nor even look alike. One
NAH who lost his coat, used red shaw
instead. Women whose fine dresses
were despatched with mud could be
seen walking around with a satisfied
air. The tourist, with his kodak thrown
over his shoulder. pulled contentedly at
cigarette. The occupant of the day
coach, who was going on a short trip,
accepted his lot and waited patiently.
They took their meals at the restaurants
and roomed at the depot. In this way
the wrecked passengers spent the
day.

CHAMBER REPORTS
ON PAVAMA ROUTE
FACTS FOR THE GOVERNMENT
Steamship Service by Private
Lines Is Strongly Recommended

be estimated at this time Of the ag-
gregate shipments by sea from San
Francisco to the Atlantic States go per
cent go via Panama and 40 per cent
via the Straits of Magellan. Since
1884 the outgoing freights from San
Francisco to New York have maintain
ed a comparatively even status. The
percentage Of shipments via Panama
in the last ten years is smaller than In
the ten years from 1884 TO 1884; for the
entire period so per cent Is con-
sentative allowance to be credited to
the Panama route.
The merchants Of San Francisco are
quoted as saying that there ARE few
commodities that can be shipped from
this city to the Atlantic States to bet
ter advantage via the Panama route
than via transcontinental lines; also
that the rates via Panama seem to be
so adjusted that the small saving In
freight charges is not sufficient to war
rant the risk of damage or breakage
in the several landings required dur
ing transportation
In support of this statement, facts
relative to comparatively small ship
ments via Panama of various sorts OF
goods and products that have been
made in connection with the Pacific
Mail Steamship line are quoted. These
relate to shipments both from and to
the East and Europe and include
paints, oil, glass. quicksilver. dried
fruits, canned fruits and vegetables,
salt salmon and Goldfish, wines and
brandies, hops. boots and shoes, paper
cardboard and twines, redwood lum-
Der and shingles, hardwood lumber
and wagon materials, iron and steel
and agricultural tools and implements.

ON QUOTATIONS
United States Supreme Court
Decides i'm Favor of the
Chicago Board of Trade
uUST PAY FOR FIGURES
Small Firms May Not Publish
Stock Market Values Ex-
cept Under a Contract

WASHINGTON, May S.-The Su-
preme Court of the United States to-
day decided the case of the Board Of
Trade Of Chicago against the c. c.
Christie Commission Company of Kan
sas City and the Kinsey Company Of
Chicago, Involving the question as to
the right Of the private concerns TO use
the continuous quotations Of the board
Board of Trade.
The question was the same in each
case and involved efforts to enjoin the
private establishments from the use Of
the boards quotations. Both concerns
resented the use Of the designation of
bucket shop" and il was charged that
the transactions of the board are
themselves Of a nature to justify the
characterization of the board as a
bucket shop" a majority Of them in
Nolving no physical transfer OF the
property supposed to be transferred.
Summing up the points involved,
Justice Holmes, in delivering the opin-
ion Of the court. said that the board
supplies it's quotations TO the telegraph
companies under a contract not TO de-
liver them 10 bucket shops" and said
the cases were instituted to prevent
the use OF the figures by private houses
without contracts with the Board Of
Trade He added that a majority OF
the court was not prepared to say that
the transactions Of the board consti-
tute gambling and the decision was
that the injunction should be granted
s prayed for. Justices Harlan, Brewer
and Day dissented.
In his opinion Justice Holmes charac-
terized the board as "a great market
where, through it's 1900 members. is
transacted a large part OF the grain
and provision business of the world
Speaking of the dealing in futures, he
said: People viii endeavor to forecast
the future and to make agreements
according to their prophecy. Specula-
ton Of this kind by competent men is
the self-adjustment Of society TO the
probable. It's value is well known as
q means Of avoiding or mitigating
cases equalizing prices and providing
for periods of want When the Chi
cago Board was organized we cannot
doubt that il was expected to afford a
market for future. as well as present
sales. with the necessary incidents Of
such a market and while the State OF
Illinois allows the charter to stand we
cannot believe that the pits merely as
places where future sales are made, are
forbidden by law
