able now and then to the most conser-
yative men under such circums tances.
Deny Unlawful Practices.
1--WE say fatty that any statement
that the Standard Oil has or is now
knowingly engaged in practices which
are unlawful is alike untruthful and
unjust"
The statement then takes up the al
legations in Mr.. Garfield's report and
explains or denies them. Continuing.
the statement says:
I'm dealing with the dicsrimina-
tions which are alleged to be viola
tions of the interstate commerce law
the plain answer is that if Mr. Garfield
statement is correct it would be the
duty of the interstate commerce COM
mission to have taken action and
brought not alone the Standard Oil
Company but the railroad companies
involved to book. and this they have
never done.
violations of the law in this res
pect do not fall within the jurisdic-
ton of the bureau of corporations. and
any statement on the part of Mr.. Gar
field respecting this subject is gratu-
itous and valueless.
Says Competition Still Exists.
THE statement that the Standard
Oil Company has largely by unfair
and unlawful methods crushed out
home competition is fully answered
bat
has always existed. is steadily growing.
and that there are now at least lis
competitive refineries in the United
States.
"As to the claim that changes in
rates have been made since the COM
missioner efficient work began. all
the Standard Oil Company has to say
is that any such changes have been
made without its suggestion or efforts.
The grief which the president ex-
presses in his message over the inabil-
ity Of the railroads TO combine and
protect themselves from the shippers
will probably arouse amusement.
THE president says respecting this
investigation that the facts are not in
dispute. only the differences are dis.
puted The Standard Oil Company
furnished the facts and man with a
muck rake dug out such as under his
manipulation he felt would prove
damaging.
THE Standard Oil Company has
been investigated over and over again
at the instigation of its rivals and it
always welcomes such investigation
when conducted in good faith and
fairly. We are engaged in large
and honorable business. We are con.
Quoting it honorably and we sincerely
believe in conformity to law

THAT TROPICAL STORM.
ave Charleston a Wide Berth and
Has Probably Gone Far Out
to Sea.

50 Charleston and South Carolina can
Breathe u sigh Of relief at the passing
8of the storm. The first notice of the
8approach Of the cyclone was received
Eat the weather bureau on the first day
4of the month, says the Charleston
Sunday News. Every day since then
the people have watched for the bull
letins telling Of the doings of the
storm. Many of the summer residents
on Sullivan's Island, hearing of the
probable visit of. the cyclone, hastily
gathered their belongings and came
to the city. 1t was reported that the
storm would strick here Thursday
night or Friday morning, but now the
reports show that it had apssed by.
Each morning the weather bureau
has been receiving news about the
storm, but on Friday morning the
telegram did not come and the re-
ports Of conditions southwark indi-
Gated that the storm had passed. On
Friday evening a telegram came an
nouncing that the storm was in the
neighborhood Of Wilmington, and
said that Charleston was out Of dan
ger. The storm warnings were lower
ed as far up as Wilmington.
The reports yesterday morning
showed that the lowest barometer
reading was at Cape Hattcras, being
29.90 at the place. A wind velocity
of 19 miles per hour was also reported,
but this is rather slow wind for
cyclone. 1t appears that the storm
has taken a northeastern course and
that it was yesterday off Cape Hat
tcras. A captain Of one Of the Clyde
liners that came into port yesterday
morning said that the sea was very
rough all the way from Virginia Capes
to Frying Pan Shoals, and that around
Cape Hatteras it was decidedly dis
agreeable.
The local bureau will have ma furth-
er direct reports from the storm since
it has passed and is on the way north.
The stations along the North Carolina
and Virginia coast will now take care
of the cyclone and try to sidetrack the
unwclcomc visitor.
All nature seems to be smiling after
the passage Of the storm and every
thing yesterday looked bright and
fair. The predictions for to-day are
for fair weather and slight rise in
the temperature.

office maccountable late. "'Dear

The answer was not Forthcoming.

An 1rishman who was very i'll, when
the physician told him that he must
prescribe an emetic for him, said, "In-

Of the early hour the advent OF a

One cold. stormy morning all were in-

For reply the man behind the cash

Bluff Beaten By Bluff.

In a Boston secret society it was
customary to bring up some trivial or
embarrassing incident in the career Of
the candidate as part of the initiation,
making it out very serious matter.
Jones was a newcomer, and they
could find nothing to jolly him about.
The president, after a long speech
warning him of the seriousness Of the
step he was about to take, and how
essential it was that his character
should be without blemish, in order
that the high standard Of the society
might be maintained, asked if any
one had any questions they wished to
ask the candidate.
This being Jones first experience
in a secret society. he was very ner-
vous, and when a fake telegram was
read, purporting to be from a promin-
ent business man from the town in
which Jones had previously resided,
suggesting that his name be held over
one month for further investigation,
he was noticeably disturbed.
Several members took the floor and
spoke strongly of the necessity Of pro-
tecting the society from any question
able candidates, and after half-hours
suspense, in which it was noticed that
Jones was trying in vain to suppress
his agitation, he was asked what he
had to say relative to the charges that
had been made.
He replied in drawing tone that ht
did not have much to say, as the mar
who had written the telegram had
been dead about ten years.
Jones did not known whether the
man was dead or not, but knew the
man did not know him, so the bluff

His Forty Second Outing at the Same
Island.
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press.
Orchard Lake, Mich.-In an old
fashioned cottage on the island of
Orchard Lake lives a most interest
ing resorter in the person of Prof.
Charles Louis Loos.
A native Of France, Prof Loos came
to this country at an early age, and
in 1853 he first visited the Lake as
the guest Of Colin Campbell, then of
Detroit. A few years later he spent
his first summer on the island. AL
thought Prof. Loos has always lived
outside of Michigan in the winter
time, he has never since failed to
spend the summer at his island home,
this year making the forty-second
consecutive annual outing he has had
here.
For 20 years Prof. Loos was pres
ident Of Bethany College, for several
years president of Eureka College and
for II years president Of Kentucky
University. At present he holds a
profeSsorsnp at the last named uni
versity, having resigned the presi-
dency on account of his age.
Although 80 years old, Prof. Loos
is very active man, and most in
teresting one. Were it not for his
white hairs it would be hard to be-
lieve his age. Every morning he is
up and in the lake for a swim long
and it would be hard to find better
fisherman or one who more thorough
ly enjoys the sport. y very religious
man, he takes great interest i'll the
little chapel at the Jake, in which he
has preached each Sunday durin" the
summer months for the last 81 years.
