sepaartion of Racea in carr.

While the City Council is trying to reach terms with officials of the street railway as to consolidation of the two lines" said man dmFio patronizes the cars, ''it would be good time to make some agreement as to separate accom- modations for the races.
 The Aldermen appear to be satisfied with the ordinance passed some time ago whereby white persons are to. ride forward and negroes in the rear Of cars. Any one who rides on the cars has observed that this arrangement Is most unsatisfactory. It gives the con- ductors much annoyance, not to speak of the vekation of passengers.
 Tn Birmingham the cars have sub- stantial partitions and the accommo- dations of the races are equal but they are separated completely. I see that the Council of Pensacola has recently provided for separate accommodations in cars and understand the Supreme Court of Florida has upheld the ordi- nance deciding that it is within the provisions of the States Constitution.
 T am friendly to the Traction Com parry, which is backed by progressive men, but I am among the large class of citizens and patrons of the cars who regard the present arrangement for separation of the races as nuisance"

 George Hoffman. well known Mont gomery musician, has the duplicate con- tract in his desk. and MT. Hoffman will provide the brass band from the mem bers of the Montgomery City Band. which consists of about thirty musi- clans.
 One Montgomery musician yesterday expressed his pleasure that MT. Wells had engaged Montgomery musicians in- stead of importing them from other cities in which ne is interested.
 MT. Hoffman, he said. has shown himself to be capable of organizing musicians, and I am sure he will put a band at Electric Park that will be a credit to the place and delight to music lovers"

| erelgn the ordinary, numdrum coin
But you may send him pheasants, oys-
ters, grouse or salmon, more especially
If the salmon is the victim of your own
erode, pole and perch Possibly the
real explanation is that as a matter of
courtesy, you may not give a man
what he could obtain at the nearest
shop-it must be something that is not
easily obtainable.
Now, a guinea is not easily Obtaina-
Bile, and the difference between offer
ing man guinea and offering him a
sovereign is the difference between
sending a man a leg of mutton and
sending him a barrel of oysters. That
little silly shilling stuck on to the SOW
ereign, that retention of the ghost of a
coin long dead and borne on a watch
chain, with the locket containing a
twist of great-great-auntie's hair was
it's significance.
1t is the embodiment of the English
mans innate idealism. 1t is like the
equally silly Esq" which we tack on
the names of friends. There are no
esquires nowadays and no guineas, but
we see them with the eye Of faith.
And we sacrifice to our faith consider
able muscular eXertion, many blobs of
ink and sundry shillings that might
otherwise stock our houses with cheap
reprints of the worlds best books.
You will naturally conclude that I
did not put this view before my Amer
lean friend. He would scarcely under
stand it. led him gently to the pala-
tial bank premises into which l hur-

There are guineas, things that won't

shilling pieces or forms or half sover-
eigns or sovereigns, but you will per-
ceive that this young man is taking
them in his stride. Now, what about
his muscles?"

A COIN OF COURTESY
THE GUINEA. OF THE ENGLlSHMAN
is NOT A COIN AT ALL.

AS a Piece of Real Money 1t Has No
Existence, and 1t Is Used Only In
Imagination as Rather Awkward
Standard of Monetary Value.
Of all the obstacles that confront the
Englishman the guinea is the most
amazing. The other day an American
ea?' He had been asked for one by
circulating library. It seems an easy
question to answer, but as I had been
puZZling over the division of an imagi-
nary guinea into four parts the expla-
nation took time. 1t was as difficult as
explaining cricket to German-in
German.
"ShOw me one said the American
| confessed that I did not possess
one
"What, not $5.25?"
"1eS, but not a guinea. We don't
have a guinea in England any more
But you talk in guineas!'
"That's our fun" l replied lamely.
Nevertheless there is something to be
said for our system. Indeed, one might
argue that this incessant obstacle race
over the multiplication tables that we
have to enter insures a bracing of the
muscles. We are always kept on the
alert to fathom the relations between a
polite, perch and a guinea or some
such absurd and fortuitOus combina
ton. And one may suspect that this
tightening and strengthening of the
muscles in the obstacle race is really
the source of England's greatness.
For all practical purposes the guinea
in which we TALKS the most prepos-
ferorSly absurd coin in the world, for
it does not exist-corporeally. Some
few honest citizens wear spade guineas
on their watch chains. But If they tried
to pass them over to the booking clerk
on the underground railway they would
be in danger of the judgment. There
are no guineas in England. Yes, in
imagination they exist.
And never more accuse yourself of
belonging to an unimaginatiye nation
Of shopkeepers. The guinea is the coin
of courtesy, just because it is not
coin at ALL And its preservation as an
anomaly IS curious proof of the in
nate courtesy of the Englishman, who
will face any arithmetical inconven-
fence rather than put a slur on
friend
This you may see from the lists of
subscriptions for the gentleman in dis
tress. You cannot offer him the neces-
saries of life. When the friend falls
by the wayside it must be guineas, not
soyereigns, that you supply, and one
feels glad that the remarks, of the
meanest sport that exists-the sport of
kings-offers prizes in "sovs'' 1t is
merely the analogue Of that convention
which regulates gifts between equals
Etiquette forbids your sending a
friend leg of mutton-that is, a SOW

IN LAST WEEK OF SESSION.,
Conferees on Rate Bill Will Reach an
Agreement.

Washington, June 20-From pres
ent indications the conferees on the
railroad rate bill will not reach an
agreement until next week, which in
all probability will be the last week
of the session. The purpose of with
holding their report, it is said, is to
avoid repetition Of the long debate
in the senate, which resulted in send
ing the bill back to conference.
Conversations that conferees have
had with members of the senate and
house indicate that there are only
three amendments that are giving
trouble, These are the pipe line
amendment, which makes pipe lines
common carriers, the commodity
amendment and that which requires
that the interstate commerce com
mission shall be given five days no
tice before hearings are granted upon
application for iniunctions setting
aside orders of the commission. The
controversy over the pipe line amend
ment cannot be disposed of by the
change in the commodity amendment
The change suggested would provide
that railroads, instead of common
carriers shall not engage in carry
ing commodities which they produce.
Another objection to this amendment
is it's application to lumber. Strong
protests have been filed with the con-
ferees showing that if this amend
ment is adopted it will ruin number
of small roads which were built for
the sole purpose Of getting lumber to
trunk lines.
Noisy Odd London.
Modern cities are not as noisy as
those of other days. For example, In
London in the time of King George H.
the streets were still cobbled and the
pack horse of Elizabethan memory had
been replaced by heavy carts and wag-
ons. Barrels of beer and heavy cases
were dragged about on drays of iron
without wheels, and to add to the tu-
multi heavy signs in immense frames
Of ironwork hung out in front of shops
and houses and croaked Unfortunately
Street cries never ceased for a moment
all day. All the smaller necessaries,
such as pins, thread, string, ink, straps.
fish, milk, cakes, bread, drugs, herbs,
matches, were hawked in the streets
