LETTER TO J. r. HUNTER.
Lancaster. 5. @.


Dear Sir: Here's a tale with three or
four tails TO it.
Professor Irvine has an Academy, Mer-
cersburg, Penn. He paints the floors in
summer vacation. IL used to take 81 gal
Ions of paint There were two paint stores
there, and he used to buy lone year of one
and next year of the otherl 90 gallons year
after year
Now he paints Devoe; 60 gallons; aud
the difference is a saving Of $50 "a year.
H. g. Fallon was one of those dealers,
good man; but he wouldn't take mp Dcvoe;
so we turned to the other. A Boyd. But
Fallon has found it necessary to get good
p int to compete with Devoe. He got one
OF the eight honest paints. He has big
hardware store and is doing an excellent
hardware business; but Boyd OF course.
has the run on paint-he' little hard
ware man.
we don't care how little or big man is
if he wants good paint and is active and
sound.

in the Way of Money and Information
While Employed by Government

The Senate wants information about
Charles S. Hanks. a classmate and
warm personal friend Of President
Roosevelt. said to be al empiOye OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
who. in an address before the Boston
Chamber OF Commerce. said that he
had information that railroad passen-

10 per cent without affecting the value
OF railroad stocks OF the wages o. "a

senator Culberson Of Texas presented
"A resolution this morning reriting that
press accounts concerning Mr. Hanks
in Boston said that he had been en-
ployed since last June in Washington
by the Interstate Commerce Commits

several thousand dollars Of the good
money of The United States aud had
learned that TIE 10 per cent reduction
referred 30 was feasible. The reSOiuuOh

work OF this sort, and he wanted infOr-
nation about IL. Senator CulbersOn said
lac did not object 10 the Senate secur-
ing this information, but he thought %

Senator Hale thought speedy lnfOrina-

Hanks and how he was paid. but when
IL came 10 the other question as to the
reduction of rates Of 10 per cent he
thought il impossible 70 get report

that Mr.. Hanks was not with the Inter

THEY CAN'T AGREE.
Passenger Agents May Make No Cut
in Fast Train Schedule.

Chicago, March 26.-Passenger Off
Gals of western railroads are not MAX
ing rapid progress with their general
scheme to run trains slower. At their
meeting yesterday it was apparent that
they can never reach an agreement
to lengthen by eighteen hours the
schedule of the fastest trains between
here and the Pacific coast, as was or
iginally proposed.
The plan of running trains slower
through the west has raised a storm
of protest from all the important
places between here and the California
terminals.
The strongest efforts to secure lower
schedules are being made by the roads
west of the Missouri river, which now
give the sIowest service. From pres
ent indications the schedules west of
Kansas City and Omaha, to San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles, will be length
ened by from seven to nine hours but
practically no reduction will be made
east of the Missouri river.
This is not in accordance with the
original plan for slower trains, which
was based in part on a cesIre for retail
iation against the western states which
had passed 2-cents-a-m laws and
other legislation hostile to the rail-
roads.
Operating officials of all the roads
passenger trains are not too fast for
safety. but in order to run them on
schedule. they are obliged to delay
freight trains, which pay much larger
profits. The officials of the freight de-
partmentSe concur in this theory and
are also advocating slower schedules
for passenger trains.

GUILTY AND INSANE.
Verdict in Jennie Burch Case Already
Arranged.

Carmel, N. Y, March 26.-Jennie
Burch, the 15-year-old girl now on
trial here for the poisoning of baby
Wilbur Winship, is probably destined
to become an inmate of the Mattewan
asylum for the criminal insane By
an agreem ent between District Attor-
ney Weeks and counsel for the de-
Tense, 1t is stated the girl will be for
maIly adjudged insane and committed
to the asylum
This unusual method of procedure
is the result of the report of five alien
lists for the defense and DR.. William
D. Granger, an expert for Justice Mills.
When the little slayer was arraigned
in court charged with murder in the
first degree, DR.. Granger handed in a
report which declared that she was
suffering from a state of permanent
and continuing adolescent emotional
insanity.
District Attorney Weeks in speaking
of the procedure decided upon said:
1.-The case has been most simply and
humanely arranged The state will
put in a proforTna case. The poison
ing of the Winship child will be
proved, with all the circumstances
which preceded the crime. Then we
shall rest The defense will admit the
murder and then put on the alienists
to testify to the girls lunacy. The
state will not make any rebuttal and
thereupon the court will instruct the
jury on the evidence submitted. The
jury. following such instructions and
its oath, will find the defendant guilty
as charged and insane at the same

WALL STREET SCARED.
Fear of Railroad Legislation, and Not
Lack of Cash, the Trouble.

New York, March 2e-Jacob H,
Schiff, head of the banking frm OF
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., who has returned
to Wall street after a short vacation
In the south, said in an interview
which appears in the Times this ncrlI.
ing that the fear that something ex-
ceptlonally distressing will happen 20
the railroads in the way of legislation
is more accountable for the present
state OF affairs in the stock market than
the money market is. Mr.. Schin con-
tinued:
THE problem therefore seems to me
to be in this railroad situation 1 nave
thoughtit over carefully, trying o keep in
mind the point OF view both of the rail-
roads and of the government, and it
appears to me that a possible solution
is to be found in the adoption OF a
plan, the main features of which should
be these:
First the appointment by the rail-
roads themselves of a certain lumber
SAINT with that side of the matter, who
should go into convention or confer
ence with the members of the inter-
state commerce commission, that body,
of course, representing the government.
I'm this conference there could be a
fair and frank discussion of all the
proposals for railroad legislation OF v
cry kind and it ought to be rossibIe
for such a body of men to agree upon
plan for legislation fair to all par
ties which could receive the sanction
of the president, of the people general
ly, and of stockholders in railroads.
This could be made the basis of legisla-
so thorough a nature as to make it un-
necessary for individual states to do
more than follow the lines laid down
here"

THOSE SUDDEN TWINGES.

Pain is natures signal of distress, a
warning that must not be ignored.
Those sharp twinges in the back, those
stabilize pains that follow any sudden
twist or turn, are simple singns of hid
den danger in the kidneys.
No trouble starts more easily, gains
ground more rapidly, nor proves more
often fatal than any disorder of he
kidneys. All the outward appearances
Of health may remain until terrible
disease has taken root.
It is best to learn the duties of the
kidneys. to watch for early signs OF
trouble, and to correct any irregularitT
before its serious stage begins.
The blood goes to the kidneys in an
incessant stream, to be cleared of poi
son and relieved of surplus water. This
Is passed off by the kidneys in thu
urine. It is the retention of poison in
kidney trouble that breeds fatal dis
ease.
Don't wait. The moment you feel
any uneasiness, lameness or pain il
the back, the moment the urine shows
irregularity, either in its appearance,
or in the quantity or number of the
passages, begin with Doan's Kidney
Pills. This remedy has been curing
