Designating the pipe lines as con- mon carriers and placing them within the jurisdiction of the interstate con- merce commission, is the latest threat that has been made in the war of reformation to be waged against the railroads, says our Washington cor. respondent The location of the war. like move in the future tense is made advisedly. There are all sorts. of threats being made as to what con- gross is. going to do to the railroads with a view to bringing them into line and making them give all shippers i'm partial treatment. Doubtless many members Of congress are sincere in this determination But to see the plan really carried out would be So for eign to anything that has ever before been done in the history Of this cOun- try that one may be pardoned for hesi- tsting bit before chasing threat with execution. Many members of congress own stock in railroads. More would like to. Many members also have business interests that do a large though not s prepoEderaiing amount of shipping. and all or nearly all mem- bers ride on passes when they csn get them. There are ways of reaching a majority and a very large majority of members and the railroads usually succeed in reaching them before any important piece of railroad legislation is cOasummated.

There seems to be no chance for the passage of the tax free alcohol bill at any rate, whether meritorious or not. and for one simple reason, says an exchange. It is we'll known that in pro- hibition communities patent medicines. ginger, lemon extract, etc. find a ready sale. Those communities and the tenn. perance people generally will not stand for law that would permit distiller- ies to be established all over the coun- try to make denaturized alcohol. for it is drunk in large quantities in. Ens. land and doubtless would be here. If denaturized with only ten per cent Of wood alcohol fc can easily be made potable. It is said this can be done even in a common kettle as the first twenty per cent evaporated would contain most of the wood alcohol and the remainder would be almost DIT. ethyl alcohol, drinkable without any very serious results. With a tax on potable alcohol at s2.10 per gallon ar 190 proof the opportunities for fraud under such bill appear unlimited. Of course if the alcohol were bonded all through from distillery to the vat of the manufacturer it might be some what/ different, but then what be- comes of the farmer who is to make his own fuel.

COBBLER AND PROPHET.
A St Louis Shoemaker Who Has Made
 Shoes for Famous People.

To little shop in Chestnut street. St Louis, famous folk from all over the country have gone to have their shoes made.
 Charles Webert. the cobbler who does the work, has been ill that same little shop for twenty-five years. He has on his books-literally, .'on his books'-the foot patterns Qf more than 2,000 men and women.
 When a customer comes to Webert the feet to be shod are placed bare upon the open pages of good sized ledger. Webert carefully draws the outline, marks the location of the cQrns or buniOns and shuts the draw. ings up in the book for future refer ence. He then makes a last, which is also labelled and preserved.
 Among the lasts in his profession are those- of Henry Irving. Richard Mans field. Maude Adams, Julia Marlowe. Mary Anderson. Clara Morris. Virginia Harmed and scores of other well known persons. The smallest last in the col. lection is that for Ruth White, who, by queer coincidence. made a repu- tation in ''The Tenderloin."
 The last for Maude Adams, how ever, is not very much larger than Miss Whites. It is said that Julia Marlowe's father worked in Webert's shop as an assistant to the shoemaker. Miss Marlowes last is there now. -oWebe1T S.a bit of prophet in addiI ton to being a cobbler. He says that the foot is a better indicator of a per sons future than either the lines of the hand or the bumps of the head.
 He predicted, from the lines of their feet, that Mary Anderson. Mansfield and Maude Adams would become fam. ous. In the same way when be meas ured Keene. the tragedian, for the first pair of slippers he ever wore as Ham, let. Webert prophesied that the actor would never gain the success 10 which his talent really entitled him.
 Webert has made shoes for Buffalo Bill. for Frank Jones, the outlaw. and for men in all ranks of life. He has received 4SI diplomas and medals for his work.
 The highest price he ever received for single pair of boots was s45O, yet he will baif-sole your shoes for you while you wait, and at moderate price, too.

great many poor ones. But the most striking assertion that he made was in connection with the need for consul lar inspectors. Now, the inspection of consulates has heretofore been one of the jokes of the state department, d junket of the first magnitude with the government paying for luxurious transportation. There were not many people who had influence enough to annex the job, but when it was land- cd it was undeniably good one. How ever, the proposed, inspectors are diff ferent order of beings, that is if the spirit of the recommendation is car ried out. And here was where Secre- tary Root was entirely. even brutally frank. He said that the moral status of man when he went into the ser vice was no index of what it would be after he had spent some years abroad especially at tropical post. He said frankly that service in the tropics has a peculiarly deleterious effect on nor. als. business and otherwise. Anyone who has travelled in tropical countries will realize that this is a politely glossed over fact, but fact none the less. Unfortunately. American consu- lates in the past have often been strik- iug illustrations. Aud they were the places where naturally an American was most forcibly impressed with the truth of the assertion. Cuba. South America. India and the Orient have all in turn furnished satisfactory but un- wholesome examples. There is some thing in the climate that makes a man need watching. no matter what he was when he left home Those con suls who have triumphed over their surroundings are of course a credit to the service. But there is an undeni. able need of the inspectors aforesaid and they should be men with weight and moral force enough 10 make their reports unquestionable and to keep the consular service. even in the worst countries. at all times wholesomeiy clean and effective.

While gasolene cars are being re- furnished for the spring season of touring, electric broughams, landau lettes and hansoms are giving the maximum of service to society in the leading cities of the country. That great strides have been made in the electric field in the last year is shown by the new Columbia electric vehicles of the coach class. The frightened con struction permits the use of pneu- matic tires and greatly increased speed has come through more efficient mo. tors and batteries. The conveniences and de luxe" features of equipment in these carriages are far ahead of those of any motor vehicles of the coach class previously known.
