HAS THE WASP AFFECTION?

A colonly of wasps made a nest in the dark room of a studio last summer. At first the party who used the room did not relish their company-but for certain reasons he did not molest them. He paid no attention to the little buzzers, and they came and went at their own will,
 After a time he began to study them and soon came to the conclusion that they were gradually becoming acquaint ed with him, his ways and his dark room One day stranger was seated on the window sill. The first wasp en- .tering the room paid no attention to him, but made for the old crack in the wall. Then out came a big fat fel- low who darted through the open win dow like a bullet. Within five minutes half dozen wasps came With rush at the stranger and two of them located him. But the writer had never been touched by his wasp colony.-outing.

 Gates.

Gates.
 The old-fashioned amusements of Manager Speck at the White City this week are causing barrels of fun. The Misunderstanding contests yesterday afternoon and evening simply caused convulsions. Many people laughed so heartily that they were ashamed of themselves and walked away.
 To-day will be great one for all. One hundred punches of boisterousness have entered for the apple-eating con- tests. In the afternoon the boys will have to eat their apples from dangling strings, while in the evening barrel of the fruit will be thrown into the la goon, the boy bringing to shore the most apples receiving the first prize. Only boys that can swim are allowed to enter the latter affair.
 Tomorrow is the participating con- test for ladies. No gloves are allowed except by permission of MT. Speck.
 Great interest is manifested in the first White City automobile show on Saturday evening, when six splendid prizes will be offered. The first three go to the most popular owner the next two to the most popular automobile, and the fifth to the most popular chauf- feur.

DISCUSS PHASES OF
 RAILROAD RATE LAW
(continued from First Page.)

lCOnLlnueu IIOill FiTSI IdBt.J to have an extension of time In which the carriers shoulr have opportunity to file their tariffs with the commission. He insisted, as did also the other speakers, that absolute concurrence in joint rates of all the carriers interest ed should be had before the rates were established.
 George V. Massey, general counsel of the Pennsylvania railroad assured the commission that 1t was the desire of all the roads with whom he had conferred to conform absolutely with the law, and he told the commission that such a publication as had been made to the contrary was without the shadow of foundation in fact,
 G. J. Grammer, vice president of the New York Central lines, gave the same assurance as Mir. Massey had given. He dicused at length some of the tech nical phases of the law. He said there was absolutely no excuse for the mak- ing of changes in export and import rates with less than thirty days notice provided by the present law
 Chairman Knapp called his attention to the fact that in the moving of cotton the method of changing rates has been in practice for years and that If cotton just now about to be moved were not to be affected by the regulations in force, 1t might be disastrous to cotton interests
 "Do you think asked MT, Knapp, that the change ought to be made ap- plicable as to this years movement of cotton?
 "I do," replied Mr. Grammer. "I be- lieve the carriers can adjust themselves to the new law in this respect within thirty days"
 How long will 1t take the carriers to meet the requirements of the law" asked Commissioner Cockrell.
 "I hope the commission will give me credit for good faith" responded Mir Caldwell, 'when say that 1t Is impos- sible to tell We have had in mind | that after the commission has prescrib- | ed it's regulations on the rulings We have requested it might take sixty or ninety days
 At the conclusion of the hearing of the traffic officials of the railroads, F. T. Bentley of Chicago, a representative of the Illinois Manufacturers associa- tion, and the American Shippers asso- ciation, presented a series of resolu- tions urging in the Interests of the American publicn that the commissio take such action as would protect the interests of the shippers as well as the railroads
 The resolutions request that the pres ent practice of having tariffs in the custody of agents with placard an nounoing that they are open to public inspection, be continued. As to the thirty day requirement of publication oft ariffs, the resolutions favor the commission ruling that a reduction ir domestic rates can be made effective on ten days notice and on export bus

THE UNDERGROUND TROLLEY.

THE UNDERGROUND TROLLEY.
 Washingtonians whi visit other cities should be and doubtless are profoundly grateful that the fight waged several yeares ago against theoverhead trolley was completely successful. Today as 8 result of that fight, which involved some temporary inconvenience, the strets of the capital are virtually free from entanglements of wires charged with high electric currents. There is not another city in the United States so immune from this disfigurement and danger. When fires occur the fire- men are free to work unhampered by wires. When low-potency wires, such as telegraph and telephone conduc- tors, chance to fall during stress of weather they are not crossed with kill- ing currents.
 In other cities where the people have been to anxious for rapid transit to count the cost of the cheap and nas- ty' overhead system conditions to- day are very bad indeed. Here and there the dangers have been realized and efforts are being made to abate the evil by changing the system, but the people have found the trolley too strong to dislodge. Meanwhile horses and people are killed as wires fall and fires blaze merrily and properly is de- stroyed.
 A peculiar acident occurred the other day in Philadelphia Illustrating the horrors of high-potency wires in the air above the streets, A small boy was flying his kite by means of a bit of upholsterer's string, which carries a twist of tinsel about the cord to give lit glitter The kite swooped down and the string dropped over a trolley wire. The lad was, shockingly burned by the current and his life was endangered. Those who fought the overhead troll ley in Wilmington forsaw the wide range of disasters certaia to result from this makeshift method of elec-
 trical conduction and gladly consented to wait few years for their rapid transit in order to escape the danger,
 They are now provided with an ideal system of transportation which is the
 envy of other communities, and their death and dsablement record from electricity is the lowest in tha country,
 It pays to have the best.--Washington Star
