HARRIMAN N-FISH
 FIGHT IS TODAY

Chicago, October 16.-President Stuyvs- sant Fish, of the Illinois Central railroad. was in his private office at Park Row station until long after midnight Closet ed with him were J. B. Dill, New York, his attorney and officials of the road connected with the auditing depart ment. MT. Fish, according to the Tribune. was laying his plans for a battle royal which will be brought out this morning at the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Illinois Central railroad.
 On the twentieth century limited train of the Lake Shore road which will ar rive in Chicago at S:30 o'clock this morn- ing are D. H. Hartman and a party of his financial friends. They are coming to make the fight against Mr Fish for control of the Illinois Control railroad. For year 1t has been known that MT. Hartman and his allies have been seeking control of this property. There are 950,- 040 shares of stock representing a capital ization of $95,000 400 entitled to vote at this meeting. The side which controls 475,021 shares will win. It has been as- stunned that MT. Hartman controls only one-fifth of the total. shares, but infor- nation brought to Chicago yesterday was that he has had the banking firm of Kuhn Loeb x company, working for and with him for some time and every share of the stock and proxy that could be bought or borrowed has Jeen secured Mr Fish last night was confident that the Harri- man plan would fail and the meeting show good majority of stockholders in favor of continuing the present manage- ment. lg4l.i

Mrs. Jefferson Davis.

The death of Mrs. Jefferson Davis. the widow of the President of the Con federate States in the 81st year of her age, will bring back to the people of the south a flood of tender recollec- tions. She who lies dead became the second wife of MT. Davis before the civil war, and her active life was thus interwoVen with all the vicissitudes of that great struggle, and with the ex-president's subsequent career down lies buried at Richmond, and no doubt all that is earthly of his widow will also be inferred in. the former capital of the Confectionery.
 Mrs. Davis possessed singularly strong mental gifts and grace of char acter. She spent the later years of her life in New York city. This was probably due to the fact that there SuC Noih lOl iltI Dtu. ou0 wrote freely for the magazines, and she published at least one book of high literary merit. In this way her bright mind was kept active, thus, perhaps. prolonging her life to four score years.
 Ten years after the death of her illustrious husband Mrs. Davis's life was saddened by the death of her daughter, Winnie, who died at Nara gansett Pier. She who was born dur ing the days of the Confectionery at Richmond had become the beloved companion of her mother, and her un- timely death saddened the remainder of the latter's days. But one child of MT. and Mrs. Davis survives, daugh- ter, Mrs. J. Addison Hayes, who lives in Colorado, surrounded by family who are the grandchildren of the be- loved widow who lies dead in New York and of the President of the Con federacy.

Supreme Court Positions.

President Roosevelt is said to be considering an income tax and an in. heritance tax, and this rumor lends additional interest to his power in the filling of vacancies in the supreme court. Justice Brown has announced his intention to retire. He has, in fact, gone onto the retired list of the court, the change being optional with in his own discretion. His place is thrilled. Justice Harlan and Chief Jus tice Fuller have also reached the age of retirement, and Justice Brewer will be eligible to retire in June next. The general belief is that President Roose- welt will be called upon to appoint at least two members of the court in the course of another year. The appoint ment of Justice Harlan's son to the interstate commission is held to mean that Justice Harlan will not stay where he would have to review the acts of his own son.
 The income tax was smashed by states rights men, and there is feel Ing that President Roosevelt will put no states rights men on the supreme bench. He certainly will not if he in tends to urge Congress to pass a bill to limit swollen fortunes. The repeal of the income tax by the supreme court was more political than judicial, and the President may indeed think politics is game he. too, can take a hand in. There is no reason why he should not take the entire situation into consideration at any rate.

CANDIDATE MORAN
 PAINTS IN BOSTON

Boston, October 16.-The democratic state ticket headed by District Attorney John B. Moran was ratified tonight by a mass meeting in Faneul hall. Mir. Moran made a lengthy speech at the close of which he tainted. In his. address MT. Moran did not spare three of the leaders of the democratic party, former Gover- nor William l.. Douglass, Josiah Quincy, former chairman of the democratic state committee and Henry M. Whitney, He said that while MT. Douglas was travelling in the west for his health the ex-gov- ernor nevertheless seemed ready to re- turn in case he (Moran) should withdraw from the contest. Regarding a plank in the republican platform dealing with dis franchisement of voters in the south, MT. Moran said that 1t was the duty of re- publican President and congress to take action and that if they did not do so they "branded themselves with their own dshonor." Discussing the plank on lynch- ings in Massachusetts and that those who wrote the plank did not believe in it. These two plans.' said the speaker. do not mean what they say and are only in- tended for those who are gullible by na- ture.o

unbuslness People.

"I wish people would learn the art of doing business in way to hasten rather than delay progress, said busy man.
 Yesterday I went to one of our city banks to make deposit. I had my slip made out and everything necessary to be done was done. I took my place behind a man who had a cigar box under his arm and when he handed in his deposit slip he pushed that old box towards the teller. It contained gold, silver and cop per, currency and checks; 1t took the clerk five minutes to count the dollars, halves, quarters, dimes, nickels and pen nies; to arrange the checks, to put the bills of same denomination together and then to check up the amount.
 While this was going on at least ten people were kept waiting, and this during the busiest part of the day. Surely a man ought to have sense enough, even If he has not the business method. to arrange his money and checks before he comes to the bank.
 Another class of people I try to shun in a bank is the loquacious young lady who has lot of news to tell the clerk and which he is too polite to cut off, even when he feels disposed to do so."

Room Needed at MontevaIlo.

It is currently reported that about one hundred of Alabama's bright girls were denied admission at Montevallo this fall. If this be true, Alabama is not treating her daughters as she treats her sons, for no boy is denied free tuition at Auburn or at Tusca- loosa. The generous treatment ac- corded to the boys should not be with held from the girls, of Alabama. The state should, in short, build another dormitory at Montevallo. The cost of another dormitory need not be ex- cessiye. Possibly the proposed build ing could be put up at cost of $25,. GOO. and a rich and prosperous state should not withhold that amount from the girls who desire better education at terms within their means.
 Superintendent of Instruction Hill asks in his annual report for additional equipment. The Girls Industrial school needs the equipment asked for, but beyond an incidental mention he does not urge the erection of another dor mitory. The sorest need at Monte yallo is. however, more room, and if

The Art of Shorthand.


 Dudley ". Walton. president of the National association of the Isaac Pit man Shorthand Teachers, writes in the New York Sun:
 Your correspondent A. P. B. in eu- logizing the memory of James E. Mum son has made some assertions in behalf of the attachments and accomplishments of the late Andrew J. Graham, which. to those who know anything about short- hand. are at, least extravagant. A r. 5. says that Graham was the greattest shorthand author and writer that ever lived This statement is unjust alike to the living and the dead To go no further back than ITS. there was Joseph Gurney, wso reported verbatim the prolonged trial Of Warren Hastings. Joseph Gurney's snorthand notes are still so legible that they can be read easily and portions of the notes of the Hastings trial were actu- ally transcribed for publication in 1S59
 Thch there was Thomas Allen Reed els26-le99) one of my own mentors in the art. who reported Bishop Phillips Brooks for thirty minutes at the rate of 2l3 words minute an unequalled long dis tance record for both speaker and re- rortor.
 Among living writers who have demon stratcd their stenographic ability are Ed ward V. Murphy of the United States senate. an Isaac Putnam writer with for ty years experience; Fred Irland of the house of representatives who holds five minute record at 251 words a minute, made some years ago at Chautauqua, as we'll Us Charles Currier Bsale. Isaac $. Dement, and Charles McCurrin, whose re- speetive friends can take care of their regulations, while in our own city IS Frank s. Beard. who did notable work in reporting the Molineux trial.
 On the other side of the Atlantic there are score of men of similar achiev- ment and there are five young women, three of them Scotch, who hold certifi- cates for writing the Isaac Ptnam sys- tenn at 200 words minute for ten con secutive minutes, transcribing their notes within an allowance of ? per cent for er- TOTS. Under the same severe conditions, c. w. Bundbury of Dublin, on January 23 1894, wrote for ten minutes at the rate of 250 words a minute. If any of your readers will merely try to read as fast as this they will begin to appreciate what these records mean.'
