With the offering of Consolidated
Steamship Company stock in exchange
for shares of the six old coastwise lines
the business world was apprised of the
fact that the plan of combination pro-
posed by Charles w. Morse was complete.
The new company is capitalized at $780,
OO0,O 900 under the laws of Maine. The
only Morse line not thus merged is the
Hudson Navigation Company, which OPP
crates the Hudson river lines.
An effort to secure a reduction in the
rate of fare charged by the Pullman COM
pany for sleeping car accommodations has
been made before the Interstate Com
merce Commission, complaints being filed
against the company and various north
western railroads by George s. Lotus, a
business man OF st. Paul. He says he is
obliged to travel to various points, and
alleges that the rates of the Pullman COM
pany are excessive and unreasonable.
In a statement issued recently the
Pennsylvania railroad frankly avowed its
purpose to "get square" for the new 2
cent fare law by abolishing all commu-
tation rates and selling only tickets at
the uniform rate Of 2 cents a mile. Even
ten-trip and workman tickets will be
dropped and no excursion tickets will be
sold after Sept. 80, unless the courts
shall have ruled against the law, as the
Pennsylvania officials confidently expect.
The Reading, which had begun to make
some concessions In response to the rising
tide Of public indignation, stopped short,
as If encouraged by the action of the
Pennsylvania, and Baer said nothing fur
Their would be done. Baer's company also
filed a bill in equity to upset the law on
the ground that the loss involved would
be contrary to charter rights.
The United States Supreme Court on
Monday rendered a decision in the case OF
a Georgia lumber firm against the South
ern railroad, ~unimportant in itself, but
which Indirectly sustains the power of the
Interstate Commerce Commission under
the federal rate law to fix railroad rates.
The commission had decided that an in
crease of 2 cents a hundred on lumber
from Georgia to the Ohio river was I'M
reasonable and unjust, whereupon the
railroad carried the matter up to the
highest court, which now sustains the
action of the commission.
The city of Philadelphia has been stir
red to resentful expression and boycotts
against the Reading railroad on account
of it's rate-raising retaliation for 2-cent
fare legislation. By order of President
Baer, he of divine right" fame in con-
neetion with the miners strike, all sub
urban communication rates were raised
from 25 to 100 per sent. Public meet
ings were held promptly and commit
tees were appointed to organize the en-
tire city, and various business and trav-
cling mems associations are backing the
movement. Rather than pay the increas-
ed rates, many suburbanites began riding
IN on trolleys. and business houses plan
red to divert freight to other lines.

DO not make the mistake Of thinking
that these are diseases in themselves
and be satisfied with temporary relief.
This is the way the nerves give warn,
ing that they are breaking down. 1t
simply means that the blood has become
impure and cannot carry enough nouris!l-
ment to the nerves to keep them healthy
and able to dotheir work.
Rest, alone, will sometimes give the
needed relief. The tonic treatment by
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, however, pre-
vents the final breakdown of tho nerves
and the more serious diseases which
follow. because the pills act directly
upon the impure blood, making it rich.

The Story of a Medicine.

Its namerGolden Medical Discovery
was suggested by one of its most import
ant and valuable ingredients Golden
Seal root.
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use of pure,
triple-refned glycerine, aided by a GER
tain degree Of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
SO generally employed. So the now world
famed uGolden Medical Discovery" for
the cure Of weak stomach indigestion, or
kindred arrangements was first made, as
It ever sin&e has bAen, without q particle

OLD Age and Work.

Old people make a great mistake
when they give up work. Many men
who have made a competency in bust
ness and feel entitled to retire from
active work find themselves declining
in health and becoming prematurely
old for want of occupation. In most
aged persons the vital functions con-
tinue in active exercise under normal
conditions, but if the regularity and
moderation of business life ale depart
ed from trouble will surely follow

A Remnrkab1e Cburch.

A small watering place in Austria
named Eichwald can boast of possess
ing a most remarkable church. 1t was
first built by an Italian architect at
Venice at the expense of Prince Carlos
Clary-Aldringen, a great admirer of
Italian architecture. When 1t was fin
ished, the church was taken to pieces
again and packed in thousands Of num-
bered cases for transportation to Eich-
waid. at this place in Austria it was
eventully rebuilt and then made over
to the Inhabitants as a free gift from
the prince.

LONDON Has BRIGHT DAYS.

1t is the conviction of many Ameri-
can tourists in London that there is
fog in that metropolis 500 days in
every year, with the exception Of leap
year, when there is fog on 1856 days.
This exaggerated notion of London
fogs is quite refuted by an official pub

London had last year 1,46O hours Of
sunshine out Of $40 hours between
the rising and setting of the sun. In
other words, about three-quarters Of
the time taken by observations was
overcast and the balance was clear.
London owes its foss to a triple COM
bination OF circumstances-westerly or
southwesterly winds q out of the 365
days Of the year, salt marshes through
much Of the territory over which the
westerly or southwesterIy winds blow
and an almost universal use of soft
coal. Last year there were more days
of sunlight in London than there had
been on an average for twenty years
before.
