FOR AN oLp.TlME ROOM.
Articles Were Just the Thing Miss m.
Was Looking For.

They we're at utility table at a
charity bazaar, and everybody seem
ed to ignore them-to consider them,
probably, only ugly little bands of
white crocheted cotton, with cord
running through the scalloped edge on
one side-but when Miss NJ. discover
ed them among a pile of iron holders
and dust cloths she bought them with
out even asking the price, and in her
Joy at getting them would probably
have paid IS for them as readily as
she did so cents.
Just what have wanted for ages, "
she sighed with satisfaction, as she
hugged her little bundle close to her
side and departed with her chum.
What are they-wash rags?"
"Hushers."
What are they?" demanded her
friend.
Easily telling you're not from New
England" replied Miss NJ, who then
explained the mission of hushers.
They slip over the edges of soap
dishes and other articles of the wash
stand furnishing, and, as their name
suggests, deaden all noise. They arc
so quaint and oldtimey, and will give
Just the finishing touch to my colonial
bedroom"

The First Great Lighthouse.

The Pharos of Alexandria, which
was considered to be one of the seven
wonders of the world, on account OF
It's grandeur and utility, is perhaps
the first lighthouse of which we have
any definite description. 1t stood on
the island of Pharos, at the entrance
of the harbor OF Alexandria, and is
said to have been constructed about
300 years before the Christian era by
Sostratus Cnidius, and was dedicated
to the Gods protectors of the safe
guard OF sailors" The height OF the
original tower is given as 45O feet,
but Josephus writes that the light was
visible at a distance of about "a
miles. This would have necessitated
height of about $50 feet.

Two Railroad Systems Begin
 Fight On New Rates
CoMER NOT AT THE CAPITAL
Orders Made Last Night Are Result of Long and Earnest Conferences Held In Montgomery By
 Railroad Attorneys.
BY HERVEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, November 27.-(Specal.)- As anticipated in this correspondence to- day two of the big Alabama railway systems have begun a fight to prevent operation of the state laws for the reg uation of railroads and such laws have been restrained by order of Thomas G. Jones, judge of the Fifth circuit, United States court issued latae this evening Restraint extends to every solicitor, court clerk and sheriff, possible shipper or pas senger or any other citizen.
 The roads involved are the Central of Georgia and the Louisville and Nashville including the South and North and the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis The Central is reached by suit of the Central Trust company of New York alleging that lower rates will make 1t impossible for the road to pay interest on second income bonds held by said company. the court restraining the road from putting in the rates or any one from endeavoring to enforce them The other roads arc taken care of in 1ppff- cation for extension of injunction issued some time ago.
 The Central Trust company case is set down for hearing December 16 and the others on December 2, an order restrain ing the enforcement of any of the laws until that time being issued
 Three of the bills, all penalty acts. have not vet been signed by the governor. These provide for making ejectment from srains a misdemeanor, refusal of service and admission to trains, grounds Tor damages. They will also be restrained as soon as approved.
 The orders were issued about o'clock. after several days of consultation on the part of lawyers of the railroads. They defy the state to do it's worst, point out that violation of any of them or con- spracy to break one is punishable by heavy fine and uphold the right of the court to hear the litigation already begun to the end. Bonds are made to protect the shipper or passenger and everything done to meet any step the state may see fit to take.
 Conner Out of City.
 Governor Conner is out of the city and cannot be seen. He will not be back until late in the week, probably Saturday. Attorney General Garber said he would look into the bills tomorrow and possi- ply after that call a conference of the states attorneys. Until that time he could not say what ecourse the state would pursue. Some seem to think the legislature may be called again. Col. s. W. John house leader. said tonight that he had advised and thought it best to follow the example of Mississippi and prohibit any foreign corporation from leasing or operating another road in the state "I told the governor it would come to that said Colonel John.

DAMAGING FACTS IN BRADLEY TR|AL RebuttaI Witnesses Declare the
 Woman Is Sane STRUGGLE IN BIG HOTEL One Witness Tells of Exciting Meeting of Senator Brown, Mrs. Brown and
 Mrs. BradIey-LittIe Girl De-
 barred From Court Room.
STRUGGLE IN BIG HOTEL

Washington November 27.-Throughout the day the testimony offered in the trial of Mrs. Bradley, charged with hav- ing shot and killed Former Senator Brown of Utah in this city last Decem- be-, was most damaging to the defendant There were many witnesses who had seen her shortly after the shooting and others who attended her while she was in jail here, but none of them at any time doubted her sanity. These wit nesses had been called by the government in rebuttal. They included practically everyone who had come in contact with Mrs. Bradley after the shooting of Sena- tor Brown. Attendants at the hotel where the shooting occurred, officials at the police station and the house of deten- tion in which she was at first confined, newspaper men, doctors and attendants at the jail declared their belief that she was rational in manner and coherent in talking, when they saw and talked to her. Several other witnesses who had talked with her in Salt Lake City and elsewhere prior to the shooting gave evidence to the same effect
 The dramatic feature of the day was the description by Soren s. Christensen of Salt Lake City of an encounter be- tween Mrs. Bradley and Mrs. Brown at a hotel in Pocatela, Idaho, in the sum mer of 1906. On that occasion, Mrs. Brown discovered Mrs. Bradley in the ho- ted with Senator Brown and attacked her. attempted to choke her and asked to be allowed to kill her. Cries of Mrs. Bradley brought the senator to her rescue and then the entire party, including the witness had an all night discussion of the difficulty during which Brown. turning fierce on his wife, denied that he was the father of her son, Max Brown. and at the same time admitted that he was the father of two of Mrs. Bradley's children. An outburst of denuncation by Mrs. Brawn of her husband and Mrs. Bradley followed, after which the sena- tor and defendant went to another ho- tel where they called for drinks.
 A new phase of the testimony was the admission by Archibald Livingston, the senator's stenographer, that he had often told falsehoods to Mrs. Bradley in order 10 qultL Hei anu 'o n'oiu eiouDie for the senator himself. Justice Staff ford rebuked a couple of spectators. a man and a woman. who brought with them girl about II years of age. When the justice saw the child. he stopped the proceedings and ordered an attend ant to escort the couple and the child from the court room.
 The testimony today. as on every day since the trial began. included many il- lusions unfit for the ears of a child. It was expected that all the testimony would be In today, but at the last mo- ment the district attorney subpoenaed three additional witnesses in rebuttal. Another witness is on his way here from Utah to testify for the government. It is now almost a certainty that the tes- timony will be concluded on Friday, to which day the court adjourned at the close of today's session.
