They were willing that the railroads
should have their rate for passenger
service arbitrarily reduced bp author
ity of law, regardless of the chances
of profit or loss such reduction involv-

Governor Deneen urged that the I'M

dom of an arbitrary cut of passenger
rates on all the railroads of the state
to 2 cents mile believing that the
volume of business and conditions of
some roads made it impossible that
they make such rate without loss anu

But with sublime disregard of the

A WOOD-EATING PEST.
The Powdef-D0st Beetle aA1s Its
Ravages in the State
OF Iowa.

Occasionally an insect becomes such
q pest that the government takes the
case in hand with view of exterminat-
ing it. This is what has happened to
the powder-post beetle, says the New
York Times. Out In Iowa, where its
ravages have been greatest, experiments
are now being carried on to the end that
the bug may be subdued. The powder
post beetle has an enormous appetite,
and seemingly unlimited capacity for
the various well-seasoned woods used
in building, such as hickory, ash and
oak.
The little destroyer establishes him.
self, with a few thousand OF his BROTH
ers, in beam or joist land chews away
at it until only the outer shell remains,
and that is apt to give way at any time
with disastrous resules.xs
: The beetle is not new variety, for he
has been known and dreaded some cen
turtles. but he seems to be just awakening
to full knowledge of his power, and tae
effect OF his increased activity ia not
at all pleasing to the householders and
builders OF the west. So they have com.
planned to Uncle Sam, who has under.
taken his determination, There is ef.
fectual and vigorous war being waged
against him, but he has gained a very
solid footing, and increases in number
so rapidly that the government agents
ind it necessary to locate and burn
joists, beams and timbers infested by the
little creature. AS the treatment is az
destructive to the houses as is the pest,
Iowans are now wondering how they
are the gamers. = >.

TIE GNl&n1 Vice.

A Chicago woman who came to New
York several years ago to lecture on
voice culture told the women of her
class that New Workers naturally had
well-modulated voices, but that they
frequently ruined their pitch because
of nervousness or misuse, and now
comes a man who alleges that much
golfing is affecting the voices of women.
Il have noticed the change in pitch,"
he says, Gin the voice of every enthusi-
astic woman golfer of my acquaintance.
You can't expect women to play golf
as professionals play whist. They would
lose half the fun, and, moreover, con-
genial conversation is one of the pleas
1t features of the game. The neces-
sity OF frequently discussing a shot at
long range in the open air naturally
strengthens the voice, and women VINO
spend most of their days on the links
forget to lower their tones when they
are indoors. / like to hear q woman's
voice strong and clear, but the low,
well-modulated voice has its charms
also, and my observation leads me to be-
lfeve that much golfing ruins it. The
bicycle face was recognized when the
fad for wheeling was at its height, and
l believe that the golfng voice will also
become recognized as a distinct out.
