HAS PASSED THE HOUSE.
The Senate will Now Tackle the
Railroad Rate Bill.

The Senate Will Now Tackle the
Railroad Rate Bill.
President Roosevelt's rate bill was
passed by the house last week almost
unanimously. There is an old saying
in Washington that three men, the
president, the speaker and the comp
troller of the treasury, are the COVER
ment. Anything that the president
and the speaker agree on is put
through the house with rush.
The real fight will come in the SEN
ate, and it will be mostly over the
question whether she railroads shall
have the right to appeal to the courts
before or after the rates made by the
commission go into effect.
The president says convict them
first, then try them. The roads say:
we want to be tried first. They de-
clare that after a rate is reduced by
the comission and is put into effect it
will be impossible to getit advanced,
even if the evidence shows that the
rate is confscstory. They once had
a taste of something like that.
The Georgia railroad commission
cut some rates very low. Three or
four years passed before the case
reached the supreme court of the
United. Then the court said that as
the rates had been in effect a long
time it would not change them.
Some of the congressman say that
the president is taking patronage
away from them and giving it to SEN
ators to get their votes. The rail
roads are anxious to get the question
settled. They are tired of the agita-
ton, and remind one of the story of
the frog which kept crying rain!
rain! rain" Finally weary voice
came out of the atmosphere, saying,
''Well, just hush and I'll rain. "

WILD WOMAN SCAREs FOLKS
People Around Pine Mountain, Near
Columbus, Are Living in a State
of Great Fear.

The people living in the rural dis
tricts around Blue Springs and Pine
Mountain, north of Columbus, are
greatly concerned over a strange, wild
woman they assert is living in the
woods near Blue Springs. Several
tales about this wild woman" have
reached Columbus.
The latest report from Blue Springs
was when Mr.. J. L. Henderson, a
farmer from that section, was in Co.
lumbus two or three days ago. He
said farmer who lives near the
springs was driving through dense
thicket of woods several days ago
when he came upon half clad woman
sitting by the side of the road MUNICH
ing something in her hand that looked
like piece of tree bark. He said the
woman ran when she saw him APP
preaching, and in going through the
woods uttered a shrill cry.
The other time this supposed female
hermit was seen was by a crowd of
children on their way to school. Ac-
cording to their story strange look
ing woman with streaming hair and
ragged clothes ran out Of the woods
near Blue Springs and cried: Have
you seen him?" The children fed in
terror, and the woman disappeared in
the woods.
Mr.. Henderson said he thought the
woman was the daughter of a farmer
who died several months ago, and
that his daughter, who had always
been of weak mind, had been totally
bereft of reason since her fathers
death and had been known to run off
in the woods and stay for several
DAYS. He said the residents of the
pine Mountain section could account
for this strange woman's appearance
in no other way.

NEGROES ARE TERRoRIzED
BY Story of a Vehicle OF Death Which
Awaits Them at Night.


Awaits Them at Night.
AS a result of a highly cOlOred and
impossible story which has been going
the rounds, negro cooks in Atlanta in
large numbers are stopping at home
O. nights, and their employers are at
their wits end to devise some means
of getting servants back to work.
The negroes say they have been
told that every night big covered
wagon, on rubber tired wheels, drawn
by two horses shod with rubber shoes,
moves about the city in the interest
of the surgical department of one OF
the medical colleges there. This wag-
on is said by the negro women to stop
in dark places late at night, and woe
betide the negro who is caught.
The negroes say members of their
race are captured, flung into the wag-
on and carried off to the 'pickle vat"
at the college, where they are used as
subjects" by the embryo surgeons
during clinics.
How the superstition got abroad no
one seems to know, but negro women
refuse to work if they can not go home
before dark, and as result there is a
dearth of cooks in Atlanta.

HENRY BELLS COMET.
The First steamer That Piled For
Hire In Great Britain.

Among the curiosities of advertising
may surely be placed the first adj
vertisement Of the first steamer that
piled for hire in Great Britain-namely,
Henry Bells Comet. Thus ran the adj
vertisement In the Glasgow Courier of
1872:
"Steam passage boat, the Comet, be-
tween Glasgow, Greenock and Helens-
burg. For passengers only. The SUBJ
scriber having at much expense fitted
up a handsome vessel to ply upon the
river Clyde between Glasgow and
Greenock-to sail by the power of
wind, air and steam-he intends that
the vessel shall leave the Broomielaw
on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur-
days about midday or at such time
thereafter as may answer from the
state Of the tide and to leave Greenock
on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
In the morning to suit the tide The
elegance, comfort, safety and speed
OF this vessel require only to be proved
to meet the appreciation of the public,
and the proprietor is determined to do
everything in his power to merit public
encouragement. The terms are for the
present shillings for the best cabin
and 8 shillings for the second, but be-
yond these rates nothing is to be al
lowed to servants or any other person
employed about the vessel"
What would poor neglected Henry
Bell have said could he have seen his
humble little Comet of whose elegance,
comfort and speed he was so proud,
alongside a modern ocean racer or one
of the latest palatial river steamers Of
the Clyde or Thames, all so we'll adj

THE BACK WAY.
sa1xnc's Avense of Escape From His
Credffors

In the year 1S4S or thereabout, be-
ing worried 10y duns in Paris, Balzac
took lodgings in Passy, then a village
in the environs, at a house in the Rue
Basse. There is little remarkable
about the front of the house. 1t is just
!, plain, white, two stored French
dwelling of a hundred years ago or Of
today for that matter.
But at the back is a garden and at
the bottom of the garden is a doorway
leading into one of the oldest lanes in
the world, from the look of it. Truly
this ruelle, with its crumbling walls Of
stone and plaster, its ivy and its shade
Of overhanging trees, is as happily de-
void of suggestions of modern Sim
provements" as anything to be found
within the girdle of the Notifications.
BY means of this byway Balzac,
when insistent voices from within the
house reached his ears as he worked
in his little pavilion at the end of the
garden, could avoid the unpleasantness
Of an interview with any holder of the
overdue bills which throughout his life
were the only tangible results of his
experiments as a printer and type
founder
1t needs but little imagination to see
him hurry off down the lane, hatless
and in slippers. to await events, while
he dreams of exploiting the jewels of
the Golconda or the silver mines of the
new world.-W H. Helm in Critic.

The Best Price the Territory Ever
 Realized.

Pursuant tO the direction of the loan commission there was yesterday deliv- cred to the firm of Seasongood and Mayer, Cincinnati bond buyers. terri torial four per cent funding bonds to the amount of $25,OOO The bonds run for fifty years, their redemption being optional after twenty years. These bonds were sold last September for the purpose of redeeming Pima county bonds in that amount, the transaction just now being closed up.
 This incident Is notable mainly for the fact that it shows a peter condition of the territoTy's finances than ever existed before. IL is the first time that the territory has ever been able to make a straight sale of new bonds bearing less than five per cent in- terest. These bonds are sold really az a premium of approximately two per cent for the buyer bears all ex- penses of tne transfer eugaving. etc.
 One one occasion the territory sold bonds in q considerable amount that bore interest at only three per cent, but it was a special compromise deal, the bonds being in lieu of Pima cOmn- " bonds also.
 But this Is the first time that n clean. first hand sale of territory SC curities has been brought about at 90 low a rate of interest and Indicates that the territory is not only good but getting a little better all the time
