TRAVEL WITHOUT DISCOMFORT


The last few years have been notable
in the history of transportation. Uld
time discomfort and the thousand in
conveniences of travel in years gone by
have been displaced by trains fitted
with every luxury known to modern
life. Nowhere are the vast strides made
i'll rairoading better shown than in the
service over The Lake Shore Railway.
A traveller over this great line IS really
as comfortable as he could be in his own
home. No club or hotel in the land could
possibly provide for his every wish with
any greater care. In the famous Lake
Shore Dining Cars are served meals that
are simply beyond criticism. The equip
ment throughout is all of The Lake Shore
siandard-the finest money can buy.
Prompt connections make delays un-
necessary and combined with this person
al service is absolutely safety and high
est speed over the finest roadbed in
America see that you tircket reads over

HITS CAREER CLOSED.
Illinois Congressman Passes Away at
Narrasansett Pier.

Illinois Congressman Passes Away az
Narragansett Pier.
Narragansett Pier, r. l.. Sept. 21.-
Representative Robert r. Hit of Illi-
nois died at his summer home here
Heart failure following long period
of increasing physical weakness finally
caused the death of Mr.. Hit
Representative Hit was one of the
most prominent members of congress.
AS chairman of the committee on for
eign affairs he had been vitally con-
cerned In every question Of national
Importance with which the United
States has had to deal in the last TWEEN
ty years In 1904 he was brought for
ward as a candidate for the nomina-
ton of vice presidsnt on the Repub-
ncan ticket, but his name was with
drawn in favor of Mr.. Fairbanks.
Mr. Hit was born at Urbana, o., Jan.
16, 1884 He first came before the pub
lie eye after leaving college, when his
ability as a stenographer attracted
wide attention. The story is that when
Lincoln was about to engage in the ia
nous debate with Douglas at Freeport,
ILL.,, he stood ON platform before the
crowd assembled to hear the oratorical
contest and asked:
where's Hit? Is Robert Hit hereY'
Here l am, Mr.. Lincoln, but l can't
get through this crowd to where you
are"
At Mr.. Lincoln's request the crowd
opened up path for the young man to
get to the platform, and when he
reached there he was given the com
mission OF taking down in 2 orthand
the speeches of Mr.. Lincoln and his
opponent. In the transcription which
Hit made of the speech it was charg-
ed that he "doctored" it in order to
conceal an alleged misuse of the Eng
lish language on the part of Lincoln.
This charge he denied vigorously
1t was this facility in stenography
which opened the way for the ambi-
tious young Ohioan Advancing rapid
ly from one position to another, he was
appointed by President Grant in 1874
to the secretaryship of the American
legation In Paris, and in this position
he obtained his knowledge of diplo-
matte uSages, which proved Invaluable
in later years. In 1881 he accepted an
appointment as assistant secretary of
state under Blaine He was elected to
congress in 1882

DANGER TO RURAL SERVICE.
Questions as to rural free delivery to
be considered.

Inquiry by the ''Evening Star"
an Administration, organ, touching
the purpose of the Department in the
matter Of the rural delivery service
brought forth the following statement
from Mr.. De Graw, fourth assistant
Postmaster General.
"The inspection Of the service
which has been Instituted is with q
view to ascertaining the cause for any
adverse conditions which may exist,
and the possibility Of removing such
conditions. On discovering that
there is lack of patronage on
given route, consideration is given
first to the possibility Of increasing
the interest in the service on the route
second, to the possibility Of rearTang-
ing the route so as to increase the
patronage; third, to the possibility
Of establishing every other day SER
vice in lieu Of daily service, and, last,
to its discontinuance where the con-
ditions are such that the expenditure
involved in the operation of the route
is unwarranted.
"While no fixed rule as to the
amount Of mail which should be han
died on rural route has been adopt
ed still the department feels that the
average rural route should Landte
5000 pieces Of mail per month, with
a possible minimum Of 1000. but the
question of the discountinuance Of
the service on routes must in all casses
depend upon the conditions as they
may exist on. such routes, and the
expenditures involved in operating
the service on given route might not
be deemed. warranted, even though
the minimum Of 1000 pieces Of
mail per month were handled,
where it was. found that consider
able number of the possible patrons
were not availing themselves Of the
benefits of the service. -

LATIMER IS INDIGNANT
Over False Charge Made Concerning
Him.-Will Not Vote San Do
mingo Treaty.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Columbia State writes that paper
as follows under date Of January Is:
+ Senator Latimer is indignant over
thecha rgepublisheditnhe ETAOINN
the charge published in the New York
World and other papers that he is
White House Democrat, and that the
president is counting on him to vote
for the Santo Domingo treaty. He is
at great loss, he says, to understand
how such report could have origi-
mated.
II have always been against this
Santo Domingo treaty." says be, II
am still against it, and Of course I
expect to vote against it. So much
has this been a matter Of course that
no one. no senator even, much less a
newspaper man, has mentioned the
matter to me, and I have discussed it
with no one. So far as being White
House democrat in anything else is
concerned, ! have been to the White
House so seldom that the president
scarcely knows me at all. The only
time I have been there during the
present congress was just before the
HOLIDAYS. and then I had to tell him
nv name. I went to have an under
standing about the new district bill.
Being given to understand by one Of
the senators that if Mr.. Capers was
to be appointed judge the new dis
! trict bill would be held up III the
senate. and feeling sure that this was
true I went there to see the .presi-
dent about it. you mean as to Ca
pers?' Yes, I replied. WELL
said he. 'he is out Of it entirely and
is not to be considered, to the slightest
degree. ;...
t = ':That is practically the sum total
of my relations with the president
during this session of congress-
| It may be said in this connection
that Mr.. Latimer voted for Senator
Tillman's resolution to Investigate
the Mrs. Morris matter. and that he
and his family do not even attend So
cial functions Of any kind at the
white house. He says the reason tor
this is that in the first place he is
not often invited and that in the Sec
ond place he has consistently avoided
doing anything to cultivate the pres
ident's friendship, "havine other and
more important duties to perform, "
saws he. The charge, he added Is Ell
ther born Of malice or it emanates
from somebody who Is uneasy about
the Santo Domingo treaty and afraid
some democratic senators will funk,
"but in either event it is false to the
core,' he says, and says 1t like ne
means it.
Senator Latimer sent the following
telegram denying the charge:
1.-THE article copied from New York
World in your editorial column, Jan
uarv 81, charging that I am white
House Democrat and alleging that l
am not only going to assist the presl-
dent. but that I am going to vote for
the Santo Domingo treaty. IS absolute
j " false and without the slightest
foundation in fact. Please do me the
Justice to give the same publicity to
nv denial that YOU have 10 this false
charge.
