Commercial Men W.. Railroads.
The effort made by the railroad COM
panies NJ Thursdays hearing was not
extremely vigorous except as TO small
Ter roads. Representatives OF some OF
the smaller roads undertook TO show
that these lines had so little passenger
traffic under the most favorable condl-
tions that they could not possibly
stand a reduction and keep out of the
hands OF receivers. while the argu-
ment OF others was that conditions IN
Michigan MS 20 density OF population.
etc, are so different from those pre-.
vaillng IN Ohio and other states which
charge n maximum passenger fare OF
two cents per mile, that the expert
eIce Of such states could not fairly
be used IA basis on which 10 predi-
cate results In Michigan.
The commercial men appeared 10 be
"Johnnies-on-thc.sp however. be-
Ing loaded with facts and statistics
which they used 20 controvert the ar
guments OF the railroad men. one OF
the former, who was all through the
Ohio campaign for reduced fares,
stated that precisely the same argu-
mcnts were made In that state which
was compared with eastern states.
Companies Opposing Everything.
IL was shown. nevertheless, that the
passenger earnings OF Ohio companies
have materially increased since the en-
forced reduction Of one year ago. An
other advocate OF reduction insisted
TINT the companies were simply. In
this case, ndhcrlng 10 their tlmehon-
ored plan OF opposing everything He
called attention TO the fact that they
as vigorously opposed the adoption OF
air brakes and the abolition OF the
deadly car stove, IL being necessary

lntive enactment. the result, however,
being. as Is predicted In case OF re-
duction OF fares. vastly 10 the financial
benefit Of the companies.
IL II quite evident that a law re-
duclng fares Will be enacted. That IL
certainly the temper OF n majority OF
the members Of both houses at the
present time, and II Is not believed
that the arguments advanced by the
companies al next Mondays hearing
will change this sentiment. IL Is not
improbable. however. that, as finally
passed. the bill will either exempt
roads whose passenger earnings are
less than $1,000 per mile Of track op.

SCARLET TOBACCO PLANT.
Variety Produced By The Crossing Of
Plants with Red and White
Blooms.

The national council of horticulture.
through its committee. says of the
scarlet tobacco plant: One OF the
dover novelties OF last yea which
was successfully grown b. many ex-
perts is a tobacco plant which pro,
duces scarlet flowers. nicotiana San,
derae. II Is named for its producer,
an expert Of England. The plant was
originated by crossing two South
American tobacco plants, OF which
had white and the other red flowers.
h result was a flower varying from
1 light pink TO the deepest red. Plant
ed in the foreground OF a border OF
the more familiar nicotiana af6nis.
which has white. s~tarshaped flowers
Of a wonderfully sweet fragrance at
twilight, a combination of color most
striking Is produced.
a pleasing characteristic OF this
tobacco plant Is the lowering time,
which begins at twilight and lasts un.
I'll the hot rays OF the following day
wither the blossoms. Thus II Is in
bloom at the time when IL Is most ap.
preciated by persons returning home
from a weary days work. The plants
are easily grown from seed sown on
p%ulvcrized soil. Another method Is to
SOW the seed in shallow boxes and
transplant, when the fourth or fifth
leaf has appeared, to open beds.
This plant appears TO bear flowers
all summer long, and with ordinary
care should succeed under a great
number Of conditions. 1t has been
successfully tested In England. Ger

Two young men who played the
part OF ghoGts in Galway. Ireland. with
extraordinary success. found 1t an ex-
pensivs pastime. An elderly woman
was acting as caretaker of a vacant
house, and the young men gained an
entrance to the upper rooms, where
their antics SC convinced the woman
that the house was haunted that she
left the place. The owner on his re-
turn found feather beds and pictures
missing, and for these the W lively
ghosts have been sentenced to six
months hard labor.
