GIVE THEM A CHANCE.
Then IL They Don't Make Good Il Is Time
To Talk Boycott

A few days after the Erie Railroad
assumed control of the Pere Marquette
a circular was issued by the Secretary OF
the Michigan Manufacturers Association
calling attention to the poor service that
had been given by the Pere Marquette
and suggesting in way that because of
the shortcomings of the company, a
boycott might have the effect to improve
the service.
. An enquiry developed the fact, how
ever, that the circular did not reflect the
opinion of the President of the Associa-
ton or of good many of the influential
members and that it really had been
issued without the full authority of the
association itself.
1.-THE policy of the Erie Railroad"
said one of its officials, ''is to build up and
not to tear down. The system needs all
the traffic it can get and in order to get the
traffic, it must give good service. This
policy has increased the earnings of the
Erie to a very large extent and the
policy of the Erie proper will be the
policy of the allied lines. We regret
the issuance of this circular very much
and feel naturally that we are being con-
demned before we have had an oppor-
tunity TO demonstrate our ability and
willingness to give the shippers prompt
and efficient service.
I'm line with this action, the company
has notified the Central Passenger Asso-
ciation that it will withdraw from the |
agreement to issue interchangeable
mileage book and will restore the mile
lge book formerly in use, thus carrying
'ut the request of Gov. Warner and
various commercial organizations of the
tate"

How She Died.

A minor poet who talked of his lady's
person being "curiously mix'd" would
not be enthusiastically reviewed now
adays. But SO startlingly beautiful
was the lady in question, one Susanna
Perwich, who died OF rheumatic fever
at Hackney on July 3, 1861, "in the
flower of her age" that these lines in
praise OF her have not only been pre-
served, but they have even escaped
classification with nonsense verse.
This explanation is, perhaps, neces-
sary before quoting the inspired &C.
count Of her death:
Behold, damp sheets
Cling close about her in the bed,
At which she, waking. said, I'm deadr'
Shall / the careless maid go blame
And tell her what a horrid shame
II Is that by her negligence
30 choice one is lost from hence?
