Foot Binding in China.

A correspondent writing from Picking
states that her imperial majesty the en-
press dowager. learning from an official
from the provinces during an audience the
other day that her imperial edict issued
several years ago calling upon Chinese
fathers and mothers to stop the unnatural
custom of binding their daughters feet was
not being obeyed as universally as special
imperial edict ought to be, evinced consider
able ire at the news with the result that
several grand councillors who were present
at the time underwent a disagreeable quar-
ter Of an hour at her majesty's hands. In
consequence, 1t is stated, that the grand
council has come to the determination Of en-
forcing her majesty's commands in a man
ner that will probably have a successful re-
SUIT. In other words, orders may possibly be
issued shortly Informing the empire that
the male members of any family whose
female members have bound feet will not in
future be permitted to hold Office in the
public service until they can satisfactorily
show that the empress dowager's commands
have been obeyed both in the letter and the
spirit.

During the year 1903 only one garage
was erected In New York city, at cost
of $23. 900, and even at that 1t was almost
universally looked upon as a reckless ex-
pertinent at the time. During 1904 only
three small private garages were built, at
an aggregate cost of $4,000. Last year
eighteen garages were erected in this city,
practically all Of them within a small
radius.of what has now come to be regard
ed as the permanent automobile center of
the city. Their total cost was 81 ,2S7 800
One of these structures cost $3.50 600: one
500 600, and two Of them $4,000; the re-
mainder ranged in cost from s, coo to $780,
OOO In the nine months of 1906 that have
already elapsed no less than 81. 1874 500 has
been expended for the same purpose, these
figures being exclusive of the value of the
land.
few over 100000 are included in these
figures, which also embrace what will I'M
doubtedly be the largest garage structure
in the world. now being erected at the
street. at a cost Of $4OO, 600. 1t will be six
stories in height and will have close to
100000 square feet Of space on each floor
and the very latest advances In the way
affording facilities for the easy handling
and storage of cars. But three years ago
the car had to come to a halt on the side
walk have Its gasolene tank emptied and
then be pushed in by hand. stringent
were the insurance regulations regarding
the storage Of cars. Many of these new
buildings are leased at yearly rentals in
excess of $4,000. while some OF them ap-
proach $4,000. Less than two years ago
the Avenue de Ia Grande Armee in Paris
was considered to be the greatest of all

ROBBED BY THE "ALTON"
SENSATIONAL CHARGE IN RAIL-
ROAD SUIT.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, October 31-Rudolph N.
Patterson. president Of the auditing COM
pany which has inspired a number Of suits
against the Chicago and Alton road, alleg-
ing discrimination in freight rates. took
the stand today in the hearing of the first
case against the road. in which President
FELTON, of the Alton testified yesterday. The
suit was brought in the name of Zambrock
& Sons of Springfield, ILL.,. and Patterson de-
clared on the stand today that he had a
verbal agreement with the plaintiffs by
which his company was to-receive SO Der
cent of the amount recovered from the rail-
way.
1--WE were to get SO per cent of the
amount Of the robbery" said the witness.
What is that? demanded Attorney
Shaw of the Alton. Ibid you say so per
cent Of the robbery"
YES" said Patterson. 81 told Mr. Fam
brock that the railroad had been robbing
him for years. and said that he could re-
cover damages, as well as the sum paid by
him in excess Of the proper amount"
The witness produced duplicate freight
waybills showing that thirty-six cents had
been paid for shipment Of 100 pounds of
freight from East st. Louis to Springfield,
while but twenty-five cents had been
charged for a shipment of the same amount
and of the same class of Goods from East
st. Louis to Peoria
1t is claimed by the railroad company
that the freight bills are destroyed every
year and that they have not in their pos
session the original bills Of the copf1 3
shown by Patterson. The hearing of the
case went over for a day, with Patterson
still ON the stand.
