''They had this control before the

The private car system carries fresh
fruit, vegetables and meat from where
they were produced direct to where
they are consumed, guaranteeing
prompt delivery in good condition,
securing a universal market at fair
prices and distributing hundreds of
millions Of dollars to the farmer, cat

"Well, in the words of General
Manager Mohler of the Union Paci-
t1c, no railroad could possibly afford
to have refrigerator cars enough to
send them out over all the other
railroads as it would have to do, to
take the place of the present private
car system, and no railroad would
undertake to be responsible for prod
.ucts shipped in its refrigerator cars
over other lines and the consequence
would be that the producer would
find it impossible to get cars when
he wanted them and also impossible
to place any responsibility for the
shipment of his products except over
the one particular railroad that tap.

1T Is conspiracy of the cities'!"
said a prominent man in Chicago the
other day.
These gigantic combinations of
capital and power aim to put every
dollar Of the peoples money, every
pound Of meat, bushel of wheat, mile
OF railroad and every country bank
| under control of the cities.
THE cities produce nothing, but
control everything. They would
starve and freeze if it were not for
the country, yet while country people
are busy growing grain and cattle to
iced the cities, city people have plenty
OF time to scheme how to get this
grain and cattle into their own hands
soon as it is ready for market.
And they succeed.
THE price of corn, wheat and cat
tie is fixed in the cities. Shipments
OF all products are under city control.
"country Money Flows
into the City Banks"
Country money is also under city
control. The country banks carry
their reserve deposits in city banks.
"They have to do 50 by law, which
says reserve money of country banks
must be carried in city banks desig-
mated repositories in order to count
as cash in vault.
Two-thirds of the money in city
banks is country money. Thirty-fve
nj ffvy hill IN fho
over Bank of New York is deposits
Of country customers This ratio
holds good of all.
"This money is used to control
Wall street and the trusts.
Insurance money is another of
the three great rivers of cash which
flow into the cities and control the
corporations which control the coun-
try. It's an endless chain by which
the country produces all the wealth
and turns it over to the cities.
The Object Of
Rate Legislation.
Legislation aids the cities.
Legislation as to meat, pure food
and all that sort of thing means in
the end only the trusts can do bust
ness. The country butcher can't af-
ford the elaborate plant demanded by
legislation.
1.-THE big concerns are the only
ones in any line that have money
enough to keep quality up and prices
down.
Rate legislation will concentrate
wholesaling by making it impossible
for wholesalers to ship goods from
any except great cities like New
York, Chicago and St. Louis, where
the political organizations are that
control congress.
"The railroads are the friends of
the country. Not from friendly mo.
tives. They are as selfish as the rest
Of the trust but their prosperity de-
Ponds on the prosperity of the coun-
try people. So they build up the coun-
try; settle new fields, stimulate agri-
culture, cattle-raising, manufacturing
and wholesaling, and thus create traf-
fic. The more business and popula-
ton are scattered the better for the
railroads and the better for the coun-
try.
Railroads want legislation that
will distribute prosperity through the
country, and the cities want legisla-
ton that will concentrate prosperity
in the cities.''

Inha bitants Of Quaint Old Town of La
Paz Unspoiled by Contact
with Foreigners.

Many interesting features arrest the
attention of the traveller at La Paz,
which is so far from the beaten path
that it is little changed by foreign
contact. A limited number of electric
lights and telephones are, the only up
to-date improvements. No tramWays
are seen, or other modern means Of
altering the primitive life. A goodly
number of German and French, a few
English, and perhaps a dozen Ameri-
can residents make up the foreign
total of 10000 inhabitants. A military
band plays twice week in the plaza
when the people promenade-the aris-
tocratic portion walking back and
forth on the upper side of the square,
instead Of encircling it as they do in
all other Spanish-American> towns
which I have visited. THE young men
congregate to stare at the young Ia

Little glazed hats, high:heeled shoes
and fancy stockings, which are dis
played by very short skirts, form the
distinctive dress Of the Cholas. Gaudy
shawls and jewelry, with: the omi-
present bundle held on their backs by
vari-colored fajas, are also part of
their makeup. Their usually pretty

erty-stricken home. Thereafter one
ofense succeeded another. He stole
horse and buggy, and served q re-
sultant sentence Of four years In
Charlestown; he embezzled $3.50 and
returned to Charlestown for two years
more. Later he entered house in
Manchester, N. H., and stole ST. For
this crime he spent three years in the
New Hampshire state prison. He was
now ~ years old, his terms of con.
tinement aggregated % years, and he
was known as an habitual criminal.
Stearns Kendall Abbott was in Gro.
ton on the 18th of January, 1880. He
was only month and half out OF
Concord prison, and presumably was
trying to obtain employment as q
wood carver. This was his trade
his prison taught trade-and he was
capable man.
From house to house Constable
Reed, of Aver, traced his movements.
until at last he located him in East
Weare, N. H. The prisoner denied
the crime. He said that he had never
known Mrs. Crue, and had never seen
her. He told the court that he left
Groton during the afternoon of the
18th and went to Boston, where he
spent several hours in house of ILL
repute. But he couldn't corroborate
his statements. Witnesses located
him In the Crue house; a chain of cir.
cumstantial evidence held him firmly.
Death Sentence COMMITTED.
He was sentenced to be hanged, and
from his window in the jail he
watched them building the scaffold.
Wendell Phillips and others became
interested in his case, and urged Gov.
Long to commute the sentence. At
first the governor refused, but when

Kendall, Jennie Carr, admitted herself

motherhood-Gov. Long reprieved the
condemned man and ordered that he
spend the remainder Of his days in
the state prison.
That was Is years ago. twenty-five
years ago they wrote the last record
against the name of Stearns Kendall
Abbott-"life prisoner for the murder
of Maria L.. Crue, of Groton." 1t was
the concluding chapter of one Of the
most stirring murder stories of west.

curtains of the front window were
lowered. But it occurred to her that
Mrs. Crue might be somewhere in the
the house, so she continued to knock.
Presently the knob Of the door turned,
the door opened few inches, and a

was stranger to her. She asked If

ALICE WILL TRY TO RETAIN RANK.

According to Dame Gossip the coming winter
will see changes in the time-bound etiquette of
social life in the capital that will cause consterna-
ton among the old-timers. It seems that Mrs.
Alice Longworth has already declared herself,
and her social campaign as matron is already
mapped out. Needless to say, absolute independ-
ence characterizes her attitude. One fruit of her
trip abroad is her newborn conviction that a
married woman should retain her frank" as her
fathers daughter and not fall to her husbands
level.
AS the case now stands, Mrs. Longworth is
one OF throng, mere ant in the social hill, and
she ranks not as the daughter of the head of the
nation but the wife of minor representative

tlon, and her duties mapped out by social
