Former Chief Engineer Wallace OF

oceanic canal committee. lie said the
secretary of war said "he had no use
for me except on the isthmus. Hewas

He declared that he had great diff

not to use cables so much.
The testimony was somewhat sensa-

UNCLE SANS POCKET ROBBED OF 100000
According to Former Chief Engineer Wallace OF the 18th
mian Canal "Secretary Taft All But Cussed me,
He Saws to the Senate Committee.

"You have caught my meaning, "
was the reply.
Mr.. Wallace went on to explain that
he thought Mr.. Cromwell to be mixed
up in so many local enterprises on the
isthmus that his views Knight be per-
verified, and if adopted by the commits
sion scandal might be the result.
One of the acts which Mr.. Wallace
complained of was that in which he
asserted that the Panama railroad the
year before it was taken over by the
government had declared dividends of
800, 900 more than it had earned, and
had then issued bonds for rebuild
ing and improving the property. This,
declared Mr.. Wallace, meant that
that amount of money had been taken
out of the pocket of Uncle Sam. He
explained that Mr. Cromwell had been
counsel for the road, and said the &C
ton bordered upon thigh finance. "

The King of Spain.

Alfonso, the young KING of Spain,
leads busy life, made up of work and
study and sport-such a life as any
clean-minded young man might lead.
And this is what has endeared him to
his people. In no monarchy was the
kings majesty more hedged about with
ceremony. The young king has broken
it all down. His ancestors glOomed
behind the curtained windows of the
palace. He has gone to the people.
He is part of the national life. And
his frank and boyish good-fellOwship
has done more to make the monarchy
safe than "all the kings horses and
all the kings men" -Everybody's

THE COST OF LIVING.
Great Advance in the Price of Food
Stuffs.

Stuffs.
From the Railroad Record.
Every is complaining about the
increase in the cost of living. Near
ly all the groceries are very much
higher than they were few years ago.
Breadstuffs that you could buy for s.
in 1897 cost over SO now.
Lard in Atlanta has risen from I and
s cents a pound to II and Y cents.
A Is lb. sack of flour, which we used
to buy for IS cents, now costs 81 cents.
We used to get water ground meal for
Is cents peck; now it costs % cents.
Round steak has risen from 10 to 121
cents pound, and choicercuts which
few years ago were Is cents, are now
% to % cents. Breakfast bacon has
doubled in price in the last eight years.
Some people say the trusts have
caused the advance. others charge it
up to railroad freight rates. We can
show in a pair of minutes that the
rates are not responsible. Take flour
for example-the total rate on a bar
rel of flour from Louisville to Atlanta,
which was So cents in 1897, is now At
cents, a saving of II cents. But the
cost of barrel of -four has advanced
ST. so, or more than three times the to-
tai freight. The freight on % pounds
of -four has come down cent and
half, but the price of the sack has gone
up 20 cents. If flour was shauled free
we would still be paving Is cents a
sack more than in 1897.
The freight on pound of lard from
Cincinnati to Atlanta is ! of cent.
The price of lard has gone up three or
four cents pound. If lard was haul
ed free it would not be any cheaper.
Maybe it would be higher, because the
freight rate has been reduced two cents
hundred pounds while the price has
advanced 30 to 40 cents a hundred.
Dressed meats pay less than half a
cent a pound freight from the Ohio
river to Atlanta, but the retail price
here is q cents to 10 cents a pound
higher.
The freight on dressed beef has been
reduced cents a hundred, while the
price has gone up $3.50 to $1,000 a
| hundred.
Here are Just few of tie hundr, ds
of articles on which rates have been
reduced from Louisville, Cincinnati,
New Orleans, New York, Boston and
other points to Atlanta.
Coffee, tea, potatoes, eggs, dried
apples, beans, boots, shoes, dry
goods, furniture, canned goods, soap,
starch and cheese. Any housekeeper
can tell you whether there has been
any reductions in the prices of these
articles. These high prices have come
with prosperity, and the country 5
prosperity is largely due to good
crops, busy factories and mines, con-
fdence and the increase in the amount
of money per capita in this country.
