Why.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
A young lady who taught sunday
school class Of young boys was often non
plussed by the ingenious questions some
times propounded by her young hopefuls.
One Sunday the lesson touched on the
story of Jacobs dream in which he had
vision of angels descending and ascending
a ladder extending from heaven TO earth.
One inquiring youngster wanted to know
why the angels used a ladder. since they
all had wings. At loss for reply, the
teacher sought to escape the difficulty by
leaving the question to the class.
Can any of you tell us why the angels
used a LADDER" she asked.
One little fellow raised his hand.
aPlease, ma'am," he said, ''p'r'aps they
was moulting!"

ROGERS is BETTER.
Improves as Soon as He Escapes Appear
ing as Witness in Suit.

BOSTON, Sept. 20.-Dr. Charles A. Pratt,
Of this city, who has been paying visits TO
Henry H. Rogers at his summer house IN
Fairhaven, now considers Mr.. Rogers so
much improved that he has ceased alto
gether his calls upon the oil magnate.
DR.. Pratt says Mr.. Rogers looks immeas-
urably better now than he did after his
nervous stroke in New York, but he is
not entirely well by any means. If he con-
tinues to rest as he does now there VIII be
no reason for apprehension as to his con-
dition. He has entirely the
mower of speech. which for n few days
after his attack was considerably affected.
Gradually the paralysis disappeared and
there is now no trace Of it. The mil
%lionaire has been. taking quiet exercise
each day with Indian clubs, and each
morning after breakfast he k a stroll
about his estate.
Mr.. Rogers has become resigned to the
step advised by his relatives of relinquish-
ing all cuisines cares.
It is now practically certain that MI,
Rogers will never resume his position al
the head of the giant corporation. When
he RECEIVERS his health he viii propapiV
live in retirement.

MORTON OPTIMISTIC
OVER CONDITIONS.
EQUITABLE President Says Europe Is Not
So Suspicious Of Our
Methods Now.

NEW YORK. Sept. 2O.-Paul Morton
president of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society, has returned from Europe
optimistic over the present attitude Of
Europe toward this country. After his
arrival on the liner Deutschland he
said:
"While the insurance business has
not yet from the shock 1T re-
ceived a year or so ago, confidence is
being restored. The great hibfti
of financial strength made by the
American companies has removed all
uneasiness. The prospect of new bust
ness is much better than it was a year
ago. There is every reason to believe
that it will soon be normal again, and
everybody will be better for the change
from high pressure methods to con-
servatism.
Just as conditions in the insurance
business will ultimately be better ow-
ing to a return of conservative
methods, so, I believe, viii be the case
in other American enterprises which
have lately come into what may be
termed notoriety. The Chicago pack
ing house scandals were the talk of the
world. Now 1 see that the English
army is to be supplied with the meat
from Chicago"
President Morton was in France,
Spain and italy and at Carlsbad.

DECLARES TWO-CENT
FARE LAW CONFlSCATORY.
Pennsylvania Judge Scores Members Of
Legislature, and Has Something
to Say About Reform.

HARRISBURG, Pa. Sept. 0.-The two
cent fare law enacted at the recent ses-
sion of the Pennsylvania Legislature was
adiudged invalid, unconstitutional and
void in its application to the S-usquehanna
River and Western Railroad Company,
which connects Duncannon and Bloomfield.
in an opinion delivered yesterday at
Bloomfield by Judge Shull, of the Perry
County Court.
The law, he declares in his decree, is m
derogation of both the United States and
the Pennsylvania constitution. He quotes
figures of the company's earnings to show
that the enforcement of the rate ordained
by the act would be confscatory. He Gays
that the act is a caprice of q
Legislature, many of whose mem
bers. without rhyme or reason, facts or
figures, information or reputation, pledged
to perform the act in the name of reform
and that we might say of reform as was
said by Madam Roland of Liberty in the
days Of the French Revolution. oh, Lib
cry. Liberty! How many crimes ere
committed in thy name"
the opinion also says that to compel
this company to comply with the two-cent
fare law would rob the bondholders Of
their securities, deprive the community
of the facilities for transportation Of
freight and confiscate the property and
franchises of the stockholders.
