NEW YORK LETTER.

New York. Sept 25.-Irregularity
was the order Of the day in the stock
market in the early trading this morn
ing. The traction issues were extreme
ly soft Brooklyn Rapid Transit open
ing off over a point and gradually sell
ing lower until it had lost three points
from the previous close. marlborough
and Manhattan were also weak in
sympathy with the decline in Brooklyn.
Fears are expressed of adverse litiga-
tion in New York If the present politi-
cal party is defeated at the next cleo
ton for the gubernatorial candidate
and some one elected who may be
antagonistic to these interests.
In the standard rails. Reading, st.
Paul. Union and Southern Pacific were
traded in by the professional element
on large scale with prices showing
declines in almost every issue. Read
ing was particularly weak The sell
ing was OF the same character as has
been in evidence Of late ard looked
very much like the pool was making an
effort TO unload some OF it's holdings
At the final close tonight Reading
had lost five full points from the early
high prices obtained. St Paul lost

The selling was attributed to a few OF
the insiders who have been so enthus-
iastically bullish on the market OF

seems inevitable.
Call loans were made at to 5 z pei

THE TELEPHONE QUESTION.

HIS opposition to the advent of in

which serves in this district also.
would seem to place Mayor Dunno of
Chicago in an anomalous position in
asmuch as Mayor Dunno is an avowed
foe of monopoly. On the surface any
avowed and outspoken friend of the
people, such as Mayor Dunno, should
encourage competition. The new tele-
phone companies that would come into
the field have promised cheaper service
than the present sole occupant has
vouchsafed. What they promise to
give for the privilege they ask would
greatly reduce the cost of telephoning,
provided, OF course, they could estab-
lish a comprehensive and adequate sys-
tenn. Perhaps Mr.. Dunno has no faith
In the new companies ability to do this.
Perhaps Mr.. Dunno shares in the popu-
lar opinion that the present telephone
would be good enough If 1t were cheap
enough and that the telephone is a
natural monopoly and that compe-
tition would mean additional cost and
confusion. That really has been the
experience of smaller communities than
this which the Chicago Telephone
company serves. 1t is necessary where
a double system of telephones exists
for business houses and private resi-
dences to employ both. This increases
the cost and cripples the service as a
time saver. If opposition lines are es-
tablished it would only be a question
of time when they would be absorbed
by the old ones. The public would de-
mand il, as much as the public hates
monopolies.
The Chicago Telephone company has
promised more reasonable rates to its
subscribers. Whether or not it pub
bles out of it's promise, under present
conditions the subscribers will have to
take what they can get. They need

LIFT
FOR ELIZUR SAGE
Widow Doubles Legacies of
Relatives of Tight listed
Russell.
THROUGH WIFE'S GENEROSITY
Rensselaer, Farmer Gets More of the
Money Which Miser Could
Not Take With Him.

In his will the multi millionaire. Rus
sci Sage bequeathed unto his nephew
Elizur Sage. at Rensselaer, $4,000
Last week the widow of the fnancier
doubled the amount of the inheritance
not only in the case of the Rensselaer,
nephew, but also for all the other
nephews and nieces According to the
Will of the late Sage each niece and
nephew was to receive an amount OF
$4,000 but in case any of the bene-
fciaries contested the will they were
to be cut off entirely, without receiv-
ing one cent. To preserve friendly
relations with all her relatives Mrs.
Sage doubled each legacy
Elizur Sage. the Rensselaer, heir, who
up to last week was comparatively a
poor is now considered by his fellow
townsmen a rich man. To him his
good fortune seems larger than to any
body else. Like thousands of other
farmers in this country he struggled
for years on a rented fran. His was
the Moore farm and he was taxed to
his utmost capacity to raise the neces-
sary sum for the rent and to support
his family in a proper manner. That
he was a nephew of Russell Sage was
not considered when he drove to town
on Saturday afternoon to do the
weekly buying. And if the amount of
butter and eggs that he took to the
store would not pay for the entire bill.
credit would be given him as to any
other farmer in good standing, but no
more. The fact that he was q nephew
of one of the worlds richest men did
not make his credit any better His
credit limit would be reached like any
other farmers within one, two or three
months.
AS for Russell Sage he evidently
never knew that he had a nephew in
Jasper county who was one of the com
mon people. often the neighbors of
Mr.. Sage of Rensselaer, would remind
him of his uncle's immense wealth.
EIizur Worked On.
They would draw glowing pictures
to Farmer Sage of how some day he
could wade in wealth which would
come to him from his rich uncle. II
the Rensselaer, man INDUCED in any OF
the dreams that his neighbors coIored
for him he never showed it. He work
ed as faithfully on his rented farm as
though there were no other Sage in
the world. 1t is probable that he fig
ured out that an uncle who did not re-
member him in a life time would not
think of him in death
The daily papers gave Elizur Sage
the first news. He was not remember
ed in any particular way of his good
fortune. The legacies had been drawn
UP in a general way ITO each of my
nephews $4,000. Should any one con-
test this legacy he will be disinherited
entirely" Mr. Rensselaer, Sage was
highly satisfied He would not con-
test the legacy for more and probably
lose all. Twenty five thousand meant
an independent living for himself and
his family His joy was of course
twice as large when Mrs Sage doubled
the amount, making it $4,000.

The uprising In Atlanta against the
negroes Is a result OF an apparent
wave Of negro brutality which seems
TO have swept over that city within
the past two months. Some weeks
ago a newspaper of that city had a
very unwise and Incorporate article
on the situation, and in it's utterance
it called for vengeance. The people
became inflammed, and even ready for
any degree of violence. Evidently an
other occasion was all that was needed.

cent OF even suspicion were slain. This
is blot on the south, and while there
may be some provoeation there is no
excuse for such slaughter. The inelte-

triotic and exceedingly injudicious.

The Practice of Law.

The state constitution may be amend
ed so that the Legislature can establish
the qualifications of those who shall
be permitted to practice law in Indiana.
We say the constitution may be amend
ed. the question is up to the voter at
the coming election. AS 1t now stands
any person who Is 81 years of age and
of good moral character can practice
law. The ranks of the legal profession
should be more closely guarded The
welfare of the people whose property
and life interests the attorney guards
demands more stringent arrange
ment and every lawyer who has the
best interests of the profession at heart
should take this matter up and see that
1t Is generally understood before cleo
ton day. 1t isn't a party matter and
all who are familiar with the question
will say so.
The people of Indiana should see to
It that anyone wishing to practice law
be examined and proven properly equip
ped. Such is the case with candidates
for the practice of medicine. Why not
the legal profession? One is practical
ly as high a calling as the other. Both
the doctor and the lawyer serve the
people of the community in which they
are located. One guards lives and the
other deals with lives in very i'm
portant manner. By all means, the con-
stitution should be changed. The in
terest of those vitality concerned, mean

The decision lies with the voters at the
coming election. The answer should

RENSSELAER, SCHOOL TEACHER
CAUGHT PLAYING CARDS. MERCY
f. b. Fendig Loses His License on a
Charge of Immoral COnduct-Spite
Work Is Alleged.

Rensselaer, is having a sensation
over the revoking of the license of F.
b. Fendig, a teacher in the public
schools of Jasper county. Fendig's Ii
cense was withdrawn by County SUI
perintendent Hamilton, who charged
the teacher with immoral conduct in
the form of gambling. Fendig admits
having enjoyed social games of poker
but the charges made by Hamilton are
even stronger. saying that he was
caught in a gambling house raid in
Rensselaer, a few weeks ago. To this
Fendig answered that the revoking Of
the license was spite work on the part
of Hamilton as the latter saw an op-
penent in Fendig for the county SUI
perintendency, Fendig tries to prove
his assertion by saying that in the
August examination Hamilton allowed
him only a two years license. when
In fact, he was entitled TO a three
years license. After the grading of
his examination papers by Supt Ham
ilton Fendig took his papers TO In
dianapolis and laid them before State
superintendent Cotton. who allowed
Fendig a three years license on them.
When the state superintendent was
later appraised of Fendig's alleged
gambling, he upheld the county super
intendent in the act of revoking the
license. and promised TO be at Rens-
selaer this week to look after the mat
ter personally. Despite the action of
his superior Fendig continued 10 teach
his school yesterday and promised to
do so until he had a legal hearing.
On account Of the fight between the
superintendent and the teacher the
town is divided into two factions. the
church people taking sides with Ham
ilton while the friends OF Fendig
promise 10 stand by him. Fendig is
we'll liked. both in and out of school.

A silent but titanic struggle is now
on between two great economic forces
In this coultry, and the bone Of con-
tention is the European immigration.
It takes people to work the thousands
Of great mills In the industrial sec
tions Of the north and east, and labor
that is cheaper Is in such demand
as to be powerfully attracted. The
vast undeveloped reaches Of the south
and west cannot be made to become
productive without population. SO that
from the vanguard Of the nation build
ers comes the unceasing cry OF ''Peo-
pie, people, more peoplel" A railroad
is Immediately interested in the trans
portation OF people and their belong
ings from the eastern centers Of popu-
lation which are the points Of ingress
OF European immigrants to the districts
where they are going to make habita-
ton, but 1t is more profoundly inter-
ested In permanently establishing a
thrifty stock in the fertile regions
which 1t taps, inasmuch as every step
of progress the settler makes raises
the value Of the railroad by Increasing
its business. The transcontinental haul
is sufficiently profitable only to enable
the railroads to hold their own in
the sparsely populated strip lying be-
tween the Mississippi valley and the
Pacific coast. To broaden single lines
Of track into such great four-track
routes as the New York Central, for
instance, it is necessary that the rail-
roads traverse as populous and psps-
porous country as New York state.
Every railroad man knows this, says
the Technical World, but the public
either forgets it or has never thought
Of it. That is why the railroads are
the leaders in the grand battle to
wrench the immigrant out of the hands
of the eastern employing agencies,
which get first call on him when he
leaves Ellis island, and which, have
the advantage OF ready cash instead
OF glowing opportunity to offer him.
