rwo.cENT RATE FOR ALL ROADS

Washington, Dec. 10-JudgeHV. O,
AaRmson has introduced in the house
a bin providing that all railroads en-
gagged in interstate commerce shall
Do required to make Fat passenger
rate of cents per mile on their lines.
The bill was introduced to take the
place Of the Sherman measure. which
proposed interchangeable mileage
books on railroads at a 2-cent rate.
The representatives OF the rail-
roads were given a hearing this morn
ing and succeeded In having the con-
sideratiou OF the bill postponed by
the committee until Jan. s. Judge
Adamson opposed the delay and in
troduced in the house a new measure
calling for a tat passenger rate Of 2
cents on all interstate roads.
He argues that since the railroads
will now be able to conduct their OPP
erations on strict business lines and
will be prevented after Jan from
carrying any deadhead passengers.
they can afford 10 make the public q
fiat rate of 2 cents for passengeT
traffic.

identity. Many of these were so
famous in their day that they were
frequently purchased at large prices
by the British Museum. John Doyle
had four sons. who also became
artists. His eldest son, Charles Doyle,
was the father of the novelist, and
another son was Richard Doyle. who
came by his nickname of 'Dicky"
Doyle through his signature of sd"
with a little bird perched upon it,
which may yet be seen on the cover
design of Punch.
Conan Doyle's education began in
England, where already in his tenth
year he exhibited a wonderful pre-
cocity for telling stories. But even at
the early age of six the future novelist
and creator Of Sherlock Holmes was
anticipated in story of terrible ad-
venture, written in a bold hand on
foolscap paper, four words to the line,
and accompanied with original pen
and-ink Illustrations.
There was a man and a tiger in
it," he says of this infantile effort; 81

caught his breath just as Bobby Shaw,
her divorced husband, had done sew
eral years ago in Old Virginia. And
this was not strange. Waldorf Astor,
always breathing in the compressed
air Of his fathers house, timid, re-
firing and studious by nature, had not
much opportunity for young girls
society, and almost never that Of
American girls. To him Mrs. Mamie
Shaw was a revelation. For seven
months he wooed her, and at the end
Of that time he was three-fourths
American and four-fourths in love.
Glowing, he followed her across the
Atlantic.
1t is only fair to young Astor to say
that he has never been so aggressively
British as his father, who spurns al
most everything American, or his
younger brother, John Jacob, who is
an out-and-out Englishman.
EXCLUSIVE WEDDING SERVICE.
The wedding, which occurred at
London in May, was very quiet af-
fair, only II invitations being sent
out for the ceremony. The bride made
the loveliest picture, standing, as il
appeared, in bed Of lilies and roses
near the chancel. A work of art, in
deed, was her wedding gown, for il
was made Of the most expensive silk
obtainable, adorned with rare old lace
Among the many wedding presents
the most notable was the Sancy dia.

Rear Admiral "Fighting Bob" Evans
were found to be in the way. Dis
patches from the metropolis say that
the supervisor of the harbor of New
York called on Admiral Evans and
served a formal notice on him that
the ships were taking up too much
room in the river, and were seriously
interfering with navigation. While it
was admitted on the United States
vessels that they were we'll out in the
usual channel taken by steamers, they
could not anchor further inshore on
account of the shallowness of the
water.
There is probably no place in the
world where the great white and buff
ships of the American navy show off
to better advantage than in the North
River. The dozen warriors strung a.
long at anchor at intervals of about
400 yards stretching from the foot of
Riverside Drive at 72nd Street to
Grants Tomb at 125th Street and =
yond. When Prince Louis of Batten-
burg had his British armored flyers in
the New York port they were given
oerths in the North River and only a
few weeks ago the Paul Jones French
leet was in the stream. The New
York people could not be inhospitable
to these fleets on account of the inter-
national aspects of things, but when
the American ships arrived, waiting
their turn to go to the repair docks,
they were ordered to move away and
give the tug boats and scows engaged
in the Hudson River trade chance to
pass.
During the short stay of the fleet in
New York the battleship Illinois in
dragging at anchor suddenly ripped
open Standard oil pipe line laid a.
cross the bed of the river. This line
it seems was not chtrted and no one
in authority seemed to know just how
or when it got there, but nevertheless
the Standard Oil Company had been
pumping thousands of gallons into
New York City through it every day
for years. When the Illinois fouled the
pipe line the officers on board the ship
could not imagine what the anchor
had taken hold of until the surface of
the river became a shining mass,
bright with the hues of petroleum.
Before the pipe line could be repaired
more than $1,000 gallons Of good

people to picnic and to walk through
that part of the property lying along
the river. The American millionaire
threw them out and threatened them
with the utmost rigors of the law.
Now that he has settled the estate on
his son, the inhabitants of Cookham
and Maidenhead on the Thames
surrounding hamlets-are delighted,
for they believe that young Astor will
at once give orders for the cancel
lation of the many strict orders against
trespassing made by his father-orders
which turned all the riverside folk in
to bitter enemies of the American
millionaire.
Great walls surmounted with broken
glass to protect the Astor vegetable
garden spoil lovely views from the
public road, and anybody daring to
picnic in the Cliveden woods, as in
the olden days, is at once threatened
by keeper with Imprisonment.
1t is believed that young Mr.. Astor,
who is very popular with rowing men.
will abolish these feudal and dis
tasteful regulations.

mond, given by Mr.. Astor to his
daughter-in-law, which later on is to be
reset and worn on her presentation at
court. This historic gem belonged to
Charles the Bold, the Duke of Bur-
gundy, and fetched 100000 at the sale
of the Demidoff collection in 1865.
1t was secured by Mr.. Astor some
years ago from millionaire parsee,
Sir G. Jeejeebhay, for $4,000. Mr..
Astor also gave one of the finest tiaras
in London, (Which cost more than
$100,O00, as well as the title deeds to
Cliveden mansion and estates, with
the many treasures he has added
thereto, including a magnificent suite
of old Chipperne furniture, and some
wonderful French china, originally
from Versailles, and once the property
of Empress Eugene. The value of
this latter gift probably exceeds S5,-
100000.

people plan to make their home at

At Stonyhurst, and also at Field
kirch, in Germany, Doyle's literary
inclination was shown in the editor
ship of school magazines. In 1875 he
returned to Edinburgh and took up
the study of medicine at the univers-
lty there, where he remained until he
obtained his diploma, five wears later,
In 1880 DR.. Doyle left the university
10 make a seven-months' trip to the
Arctlc seas as unqualified surgeon on
| board whaler. There was very little
demand for surgery aboard the Hope,
and he has described his chief occu-
patton during the voyage as being EN-.
ployed in keeping the captain in cut
tobacco, working in the boats after
fsh, and teaching the crew to box.
He utilized his experience later in his
story, "The Captain of the Polester."
| Two years later, in 1882, after a
| four-months' voyage to the west coast
of Africa, he settled down as a med
| ical practitioner at Southsea, in Eng
land, where he remained until 1890.
| Those were arduous and trying years,
IN which he came to regard the calls
| OF the profession he had adopted as
| interruptions in the real work Of his
| life, and found that the writing of
| stories was very slender prop upon
which to lean for livelihood. FIFTY
| little cylinders of manuscript" he
says, Ibid I send out during eight
years, which described a regular orbit
| among publishers, and usually came
| back, like paper boomerangs, to the
place that they had started from"
All this time he was writing anony-
mously, and during the ten years of
his literary apprenticeship, he states
that, in spite of unceasing and untir-
ing literary effort, he never in any one
year earned fifty pounds by his pen.
Then, in 1887, appeared in Beeton's
Christmas Annual story from his pen
called "a Study in Scarlet" 1t is a
significant point in the authors career.
for in this story Sherlock Holmes
made bis first appearance. 1t was
published later in a book form, and
went forth as his first novel, and i'm
mediately began to attract attention.
Under these favoring circumstances
he undertook the writing of "Micah
Clarke" 1t was completed after a
years reading and five months writ
ing, and represented the most am
bilious and hopeful work the author
had yet accomplished But it came
back to him from one publishing house
after another, until he began to des-
