the rest of the day to pleasure in
which drinking and dancing and
the companionship of women were
the chief features.
Barely five feet in height, this
little man, who fancied himself a
second Napoleon, really had some
points in common with that great
French leader, though without the
latter's advantages of education
and training. Born in 1860, at
Capacho, state of Tachira, on the
slopes of the Andes, near the Co,
lumbar border, he was one of a
family of over 60 children, most OF
them Legitimate, for his father
had Mormon proclivities.
In his boyhood, he tended cattle
and later ran a country store with
cattle trading, or cattle stealing, as
some say, as a side line. When
the Venezuelan tax collectors came
around he would drive his cattle
oNOi tHt SOiulllDlil dIIt
when the Columbians attempted tC
make assessments his cattle would
| be on the Venezuelan side.
His first entry into politics was
when the Columbian and Venezue
Ian ASSESSORS Joined forces, select
ed the same day for the visit and
confiscated all Of Castro's cattle.
This was an outrage not to be
endured. Raising small force, he
espoused the cause of President
Palacio who was seeking a re-elec
ton despite constitutional prohibi
tons. His was the losing cause
and he fled to Colombia, where he
remained a couple of years. In
1899 he appeared in Caracas as q
deputy from his native district oil
Tachira, nominated by President
| Andrade.
| In the Andine district, from
which Castro came, no one wears
boots or shoes. AS a deputy al
| Caracas, 1t was necessary for hin
to wear them, but he found them
tight and uncomfortable. On enter
ing the chamber of deputies, he
| used to remove his shoes and
place them on the desk In front
of him while retaining his black
kid gloves. This habit earned him
the jeers and snubs Of his col
leagues in the assembly. 1t was
those snubs that sent him back
home to start the revolution which
landed him in the presidential
chair. Every member of that con-
gress has since either been killed
on the battlefield, died a lingering
death in some lonesome dungeon,
or been forced out into exile. A
long memory was always one of
Castro's strong points.

FIGHTS O'BR|EN

Tommy Burns fought 20 rounds to
draw. At the end Of the last
round both men were in the middle
OF the ring slugging for a knock

Burns forced the fight from the

SPLIT THE TICKETS.
Payment of Excess Fares on
Fast Trains Avoided.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

Chicago, June 23.@Only the .un-
initiated pay excess faes on the fast
trains of the Pennsylvania line, and the
Lake Shore and Michigan Central be-
tween Chicago and New York, if the
charges made yesterday by an official
of a differential road is correct. This
official maintains that by the manipu-
lation of tickets. the passenger can go
from Chicago. to New York for a few
cents less than the standard fare of $50
and at the same time ride on fast
train without paying the extra charge.
The charges were made in reference
to the accusation that the Pennsyl-
vania road carried the Brooklyn base
ball club from New York to Cincin-
natl on an excess fare train without
collecting the extra fare. This, it Is
declared, was done by splitting the
tickets at Pittsburg. and the differen-
tial line official declared that the same
system can be used in avoiding the ex-
cess fare provision on any of the fast
trains except the pennsylvania Spe-
ciaI' and the twentieth Century
Limited of the Lake Shore.
To illustrate his point the official re-
ferred to the Michigan Central Spe-
cial,' twenty-four hour train TO New
York which charges an excess fare OF
81. To obtain low rate on this train
the passenger has only TO provide him
self with a 1000 mile Central Passen-
ger association mileage book, which
costs him $40 net. The distance from
Chicago to Suspension Bridge is 500
miles, and by using the mileage book
the passenger pays $40 10 get there. 1t
will then cost him 35 cents to get from
thte bride to Buffalo.
AS the mileage is not good east or
Buffalo, the passenger leaves the train
there, purchases a local ticket to New
York for $9.25s gets back on the train,
and arrives in New York twenty-four
hours after he leaves Chicago at a cost
Of 1880, while the passenger who was
ticketed straight through paid $40
plus the excess of 81 for the privilege
of riding on the fast train. On the re-
turn trip the remainder of the mileage
book will be used, so that the passen-
ger returns to Chicago just $3.50 ahead
of his initiated fellow traveller
If the passenger does not care to use
the mileage book, he can purchase a
local ticket from Chicago to Buffalo,
which will cost him $3.50, and then
purchase a ticket from Buffalo to New
York for 1925, giving him the through
service for $22.75 instead of $24.
The same system. il is declared, can
be worked over the Lake Shore by re-
purchasing at Buffalo and over the
Pennsylvania by repurchasing at Pitts
burg. The other lines do not have ex-
cess fare trains.

KENTUCKY CUTs THE RATE.
state Commission Order Will save
Shippers 81, 500, 900 Year.

Frankfort KY. June 23.-The Ken
lucky railway commission has sustained
the contention of shippers in all sections
Of the state that they have been dis
criminated against and that the entire
state has suffered in freight regula-
ton.
Taking the Louisville and Nashville
company as a basis. 1t operating the
greatest number of miles of road in the
state, the commission orders a reduction
of its mileage scale by 25 per cent on all
classes of freight on the main system,
the Knoxville division and the Cumber-
land Valley division in order to bring
the rate to that in effect on the Ken
lucky Central and Lexington division.
All of the other roads in the state are
brought down to this basis. Tt affects
mainly the Illinois Central company on
class rates. its short-haul rates being
even greater than those Of the Louis
vile and Nashville company.
This cut in rates will mean q saving
to sh- -ppers Of 81, soc, ,000 a year.

FINDS a DUsTLEss BALLAST.
Illinois Central Using Gravel from tn
Mississippi.


Prospects of a dustless roadbed
without the use OF oil or cut stone
is pleasing officers of the Illinois Cen
tral road. Though gravel is conceded
to make the easiest riding roadbed, its
dust feature has made it a nuisance
to the travelling public. General Man
ager Rawn of the Illinois Central and
his assistant, Mr.. Fritch, have made
find" in the way of dustless gravel.
Recently the company began taking
gravel out of the Mississippi river at
the Memphis bars. It is taken out
with a centrifugal pump at the rate
Of about sixty carloads every ten
hours The gravel. being washed for
centuries, is free from soil: the only
thing on it is sand. and all but 25 per
cent. of this is washed off after it is
taken from the river
The first of this new ballast is used
on the Yazoo valley line. It is clear
and clean as crystal and dustless.
As the pumping betters the river
channel, the Illinois Central is free to
take all its wants from the Mississippi.
The grave runs in spots from Memphis
to New Orleans. AS the cost of get
ting it out is way below pit digging.
and with its own tracks to the edge
of the river. the Illinois Central will
extend the new found ballast over ali
lines Of the system.
