The lifslcss DO " of II. A.

found in the home Of the latter

died q year ago, and Mrs. Way

Charles Fairchild, former
secretary of the treasury, and
George w. Perkins, formerly
vice president of the New York
Life Insurance company, have
been indicted by the grand jury
in New York account of the late
insurance scandal. The time is
at hand When money and in
fiuence does not seem to make
much difference when the gov
eminent starts to investigate
some of the larger CRAFTS. Now
that the Nebraska land frauds
have been stirred up and the
men responsible for the crimes
under indictment, also as the
government has begun work in
Montana and other western
states to look into some alleged
wrongs, thieves of the larger
calibre will soon get under shell
ter if possible. There seems no
good reason why a person or
corporation who steal from the
government should not be dealt
with just as the petty criminal
is who steals a few dollars in
cash or its equivalent. A fair
deal for everybody, should be
the slogan.
Newspaper men will either
have to pay car fare the coming
year or else walk. The follow
ing is from a ruling made by
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, and included in in
structions to all Northwestern
agents: Nothing but money
can lawfully be received or ac-
cepted in payment for trans
portation subject to the act,
whether of passengers or pro-
perty, or for any service in con-
nection Herewith, it being the
opinion of the commission that
the prohibition against charg-
ing or collecting a greater or
less or different compensation
than the established rates in
effect at the time precludes the
acceptance of services. property
or other payment ii lieu of the
amount Of moley specified in
the published Schedules"

Carrying Bundles.
From the New York Mail


One of the things that distinguish the
commuter is the bundle carried under his
arm. The city man does not carry bun
die. When his wife shops she has her pur-
chases sent around to the fiat. The Boston
bag and it's Philadelphia equivalent are I'M
known in New York
People in this town have singular aver
sion to being seen with any sort of pack
age in their possession. Some of them
imagine 1t makes them look like villagers
Others are afraid apparently, that they
will lose social caste. Others, even in their
young prime, have reached the state where
the grasshopper shall be a burden Most
of the women argue why should we do
a thing that the stores are ready to do for
US without charger" So they refuse to
carry home even a package of court plaster
One result of this is that families will go
without the clothes or food they require for
hours, perhaps for days, longer than they
need, rather than carry home their pur-
chases themselves. Another result is that
the prices they pay charged with the
expense of a delivery service that in the
city at large must amount to several mil
lion dollars a year. 1t 1t were the custom
of New Workers to walk home from their
offices or from the places where they shop
and If they swung their arms freely while
they walked, one could excuse their aver
sion to bundle carrying. But they ride in
stead of walk. They charge themselves
with two transportation services, in each
of which there is a large gratuitous ele-
ment-a passenger service and a delivery
service.
