THE NE U.SPAPERS 4ND
 THE R4/LROADS.

A recent ruling of the Interstate Commerce Commission, based up- on its construction of the railroad rate rate bill, makes it unlawful for newspapers and the railway companies to make contracts whereby advertising space is ex- changed for transportation.
 It is hardly possible that any of the senators and representatives who worked so valiantly for the passage of a law to curb the preva- lent abuses in discriminating freight rates were at the time un- der the impression that this law would prevent the practice of this desirable arrangement between the newspapers and the railroads. It is an arrangement by which each party is mutually benefited with out the outlay of actual cash, and certainly no else in injured by the arrangement. The railroads need the advertising space to carry their schedules, announce their excursions, etc.-matters which not only may be legitimately adver- tised, but which are of general in- terest to the newspapers readers. The editors need a certain amount of transportation each year; and, as the railroads must run their trains regularly and so must the newspapers issue their editions, it may readily be seen that, while it is a 'value received" transaction neither party is required to expend actual money for the benefits re- ,ceived, yet both parties are equal ly benefited.
 It is nonsense to assert that the railroads use these contracts as means to subsidize and control the press. The very fact that the public sentiment for the present rate bill was fostered and promul gated by the newspapers to such an extent that even a Republican congress was driven to make it a law, ought to be sufficient answer to that allegation. Furthermore, these contracts have absolutely nothing to do with freight rates, where the evils of unjust discrimi- nation have existed; they concern only the passenger business, as nothing but passenger service IS ever advertised by railroads, and nothing but transportation in pas senger trains was ever given in exchange therefor.
 The ruling of the commission means much to the newspaper man. If it is allowed to stand, 1t means that practically all of the editorial organizations will have to be abandoned, as the proverbially

tory of Conway, it is different. Nearly all of them are frequent visitors to the town, nearly all of them subscribe and pay for their own papers, and, judging from the growth of our circulation and the fact that very few order it dis continued, nearly all of them "want the paper" The loss from unpaid subscriptions in the county, too, has been but small item. In view of these facts, 1t is unnec- essary to force these subscribers to pay in advance-though many of them nevertheless do so.

SEVEN MEN LIARS"
President Roosevelt Has Put It Pret-
ty Strong in These Gases.

When Bellamy Storer was added
to the list of public men who have
been denounced as falsifiers by Pres
ident Roosevelt, the list included just
enough to remind one of the poem
which was one Of the lessons in DR..
McGuffey's old "Third Reader"
and entitled "Wc are Scvcn.' The
Albany Argus has been reviewing
the matter for the purpose of classi
fying,if possible, the different kinds
Of "liars' mentioned by the presi-
dent and discovers that Judge Parker
was Gan atrocious lair" that Mr.
Whitney was "a deliberate and I'M
qualified liar.' that Mr.. Bowen was
ga discngcnuous liar" that Mr. Wal
lace was Gan utter liar.' that Mr..
Shields was can inventive liar,'
and that Mr.. Storer was "a peculiar
ly perfidious liar" 1t was prophet
of old who exclaimed in his haste
that " all men are liars" but it
seems that he was in too much Of a
hurry to catalogue and classify them.
Mr.. Roosevelt seems to have the time
to at least make a beginning on the
work of classification. --Exchangc.

Mrs. Andrews, at the end Of dis

"Never play for stake if You

The Irish Of It.

Before Madame Kalich became q
celebrated English-speaking "star,'
she was for years the idol of thous-
ands of Yiddish theatre-goers of New
York. Down at the Thalia Theatre
on the Bowery she drew admiring
throngs, who fairly raved about this
remarkable woman. Indeed, so great
was her reputation many uptown peo-
plc made pilgrimages to lower Sd
avenue to see her, and, though they
did not understand a word Of the Ian
g1fage which she then spoke, they
were held by the greatness of her art.
One Of the stories which Madame
Kalick likes best to tell of those times
is how one day when she was enter
ing the theatre for rehearsal she saw
two Irishmcn, evidently recent arri-
walls from the old country, standing
and gazing in open-eyed wonder at
the poster in front Of the play house.
This poster was printed entirely
in Hebrew and Madame Kalich IS
name even appeared in Hebrew char
acters.
"Can ye read that, Make7" asked
one.
"Sure, an + cannot, Pat" answer
ed the other, "but if I had fiddle
/ could play it.''

NATIVES OF PATAGONIA.
Heard Hunting For a Bomty-The
<.r Price Of a Wife. 81. ~

1t seems strange to live in a coun-
try where you see only white men and
where a. man can go around Al safety,
after living down in Patagonia for al
most a, lifetime, where bounty of
SIS was paid by the authorities for
every head brought in by the head
hunters,' said j. j. Medlin, now Of
Laramie, Wyo., but formerly Of Pat
agonia. '"...
e. "The head hunters up to six
years ago went out at regular inter-
walls to hunt the Terra del Fuegans
and when they returned with the
heads the bounty was paid out with
out any question. This tribe Of peo-
pie are lower than the dogs and had
to be eXterminated for the safety Of
the more civilized people. The bounty
was taken off about six years ago
and now there are no head hunters.
Some of the former hunters still con-
tinue their slaughter; but it is frown-
ed on by the decent people.
The climate around Laramie, Wyo.,
is pretty much the same as the win
ter climate of Patagonia. The sum-
mer climate of that region, however,
is pretty much the same as we are
given to understand the climate Of
hades ic all the year rouno.
"The ordinary tribes Of natives are
gentle and as honest as the general
run Of people in South America.
"Some day there will be big rush
to Terra del Fuego, Or the Land of
Fire, as the country near the Straits
of Magellan is called. There is plenty
Of placer gold there and plenty of
righ quartz. Several parties have
gone through the interior but have
kept their finds secret.
"Patagoina belongs partly to Chile
and partly to Argentina The land
is cheap and is about -hundredth
as good for grazing purposes as
Wyoming land is. There is no title
given to the property and squatter
asovdreignty holds good until some
man comes along and gives the chief
official of the section large bribe,
when the squatter is disposscssed.
HThe natives are not cannibaIs,. rs
has been reported, and probably new
er were. They take only one wife and
at the husbands death all the prop
erty goes to the wife. A man want
ing a wife purchases her for so many
horses and so much property. No mar
riage ceremony is performed, but the
purchase is more binding than the le-
gal ceremony in this country.
"The punishment for injuring a
man is much more severe tlran for
outright murder. If man is con
victed Of murder lie is likely to escape
with a year of penal servitudc, but if
in brawl he cuts and Injuries man
the chances are that he will hang for
the crime There is little crime, how
ever. The people are peaceablc and
follow hunting and sheep raising to a
large extent. I always found the ma
tive tribes friendly and hospitable
and never had any trouble during the
time I lived in the land. '-Denver

One of the oldest flats in New
York City is OH the upper West Side,
at 10 Old Broadway, not far from
the Manhattan street station, on the
subway. 1t rejoices in the inelegant
if expressive title of the
Soubrette Museum. 1t is tenanted by
Mr.. Epes. wv. Sargent who some years
ago began to pick up odd theatrical
souvenirs and who increased his COL
lection until it is unlike anything else
in the town. =:
The most striking feature Of the
apartment is the portiers of tights
between the dining-room and library.
Pauline Hall, Verona Jarbeau, Cheri-
dah Simpson, Truly Shattuck, Emma
Carus, Belle Gold, and half a dozen
others contributed to the collection,
which is caught up on either side
with gaudy pink, white and black
striped stockings contributed by Sal
lie Stembler. They were worn by
her in a vaudeville sketch, and are
quite the most impossible things i'm
aginablc. =.
In one corner Of the room dainty
satin apron with lace insertions, worn
by Lillian Russell in her Weber e.
Fields days, occupies prominent
place, while just below hangs an,ori-
ginal sketch of Harry Furniss, of
Punch, showing that artist in a
bath tub It was pictorial explana-
ton as to why he could not receive
the owner of the sketch.
\ A notable feature is dado of stage
shoes running completely around the
parlor. 1t comprises every style of
stage shoe, from Ealf-ounce dancing
slipper, to the twenty-two-ounce clog.
The smallest shoe in the collection is
that of Josephine Cohan, dainty
dancing shoe Of black kid, a full
half inch smaller than a shoe worn
by one of the smallest Of the Lillipu-
tians' company. There are steam
stained slippers from the serpentine
dancers, such as Papinta, side with
the dainty French creations of Fon-
gere, the straw sandals of Ten Ichi,
the magician and a cloth of gold slip
per worn by Elsie de Wolf. Ada
Lewis slipper is as tough looking as
the parts she used to play. A slipper
from one Of the midwest "Honkat-
Dnks" hangs beside a dainty pair
worn by one of the genuinely origi-
nal Florodora sextet girls, while
"Silvers" Oakley's clumsy clog
hangs between a blue-beaded mocca-
sin worn by Sitting Buff and a quill
decorated pair worn by one of the
Mesdames Sitting Bull.
a cabinet in one corfer was used
in one of the productions of the old
Lyceum Theatre, and scarcely sug-
gest its picture-frame mouldings and

ed cabinet contains heterogeneous
collection, ranging from an inkstand
owned by Gen. Santa Anna, the Mex
lean patriot, and pass-out checks of

fleas from New Orleans, and Turk IS
head made by Goldin, the magician,
out Of a napkin cleverly folded. A
two-quart candy Jar is, very nearly
full of seat coupons telling of shows
good and bad.
All told the collection consists of
more than 1000 souvenirs, and the
history of most of them can be read
