corporation, the largest maker of steel
rails in the country. has answered the
criticism made by e. II. Hartman re-
garding the quality of steel rails.
Mr.. Hartman read to the Union Pa
cific and Southern Pacific boards let
ter from Operating Officer Kruttschnitt
which stated that 449 rails had broken
during February, of which 179 were
ninety-pound rails, which had been used
only five or six months This was an
indication, it was stated, of what the
railroads had to contend with.
In response Judge Gary made the
statement that rails are manufactured
according to the express specifications
of the railway companies, under direct
sunervision of inspectors of the rail-
road. who tested the rails before de-
livery.

BURGLARS SECURE
$4,000 IN JEWELS

SLEEPS
Gum Shoe Artists Enter Bedroom Of
E. e. Raby and Take Dia-
monds from Bureau
Drawers

Diamonds valued at $4,000 were stolen
from the residence of E. e. Raby, 291S
Francis street, early yesterday morn
ing, by burglars, who gained entrance
by ''jimmying" a rear door and forcing
their way into the other rooms OF the
house. The family was at home at
the time, but did not hear the bur-
glars searching the rooms.
The robbery was discovered by Mr..
Raby when he awoke yesterday morn
ing, and word was sent to the police.
Detectives were detailed on the case,
but were unable to gain any clew to
the identity of the robbers.
According TO the police there is every
reason to believe that the job was
committed by experienced burglars.
Judging by the way the work was
carried on plans to rob the house had
been carefully laid and every detail
of the robbery worked out before the
house was approached.
Every Room Searched
Every room in the residence was
carefully searched, even the drawers
in the bureaus in the room in which
Mr.. Raby was sleeping being drawn
from their places and the contents
scattered. A jewel box which was on
the bureau was carried into the hall
of the house and there emptied of its
contents.
A Jimmy" with an edge about one
inch long was used to force the lock
on the rear door. Investigation re-
vealed the fact that the different VIM
dows in the downstairs part of the
house had been tried and in one case
an effort had been made to pry one
of them open.
1t is thought the robbers were IA
miliar with Mr.. Raby's habits and
knew he generally kept number Oh
valuable jewels in the house.
Following is list of the stolen ar
ticles:
one diamond brooch, set with eleven
diamonds varying from one-hah to
one-eighth carat; one pair diamond
earrings, ruby ring, opal ring, several
gold dollars, several English sovereigns
and two revolvers.
Other Robberies
Charles Boldett 4SS Macy street, re-
ported to the police yesterday that a
rear window in his house had been
forced and SO and a revolver stolen.
Thomas c. DeLisle, 1882 West Wash
ington street, reported that a rear door
at his home had been forced open and
iewelry and silverware valued at $500
stolen.

Proved q Failure.

The Pennsylvania railroad has de-
cided that steel ties can not take the
place of wooden ties. 1t is as
serted that the steel ties have not
sufficient resilliency to stand the
heavy traffic, that they are too rigid,
especially as to curves. The Pitts
burg mills making steel ties have
been notified that hereafter the
Pennsylvania railroad will not make
any more experiments with steel ties.
and no steel tie yet invented has made
a proper showing. A large order has
been placed for Georgia pine and all
steel ties have been ordered removed.
After the Mineral Point wreck,
which was eventually proven to have
been caused by the rail tearing loose
from the steel ties, the Carnegie Steel
company insisted that the steel tie
would yet prove superior to wooden
ties The Pennsylvania railroad
company had a commission examine
all the phases of the steel tie. A
minority report was made that steel
ties might prove durable on stra light
line but not OH curve

HIGHER PRICES-Now the wo-
men are protesting against the radical
increase in the selling price of practi.
cally everything included in dry
goods establishment. They say the
recent and probable advances in the
cost of silks, ginghams, muslins,
hosiery. ETC., etc. are simply frig ht-
full. They also claim that the quality
of the stuff they buy is deteriorating.
Probably there Is not much basis for
the latter complaint. They can un-
doubtedly buy just as good goods as
they ever could, but the price has
advanced until the cheaper grades cost
rs much or more than the better
grades formerly cost II won't do
much good to kick on prices. The
women who are not able or who OBJ
ject to paying high prices will have
to do with little less fincry. But
that need not necessarily worry then
Many women clothe themselves at
moderate cost and present neat ap-
pearancc than do some other women
whose pocketbooks are most plethoric.

Porfanity may mark anger and sound
out as a signal Of a loss Of temper;
but neither Of these are things which
one in his sober moments desires to
advertise to the world. It is the re-
strained temperate curbed anger
that are the signs of power.
Public profanity is akin to smoking
in a lady's drawing room. It thrusts
into the ears of gnof Tending people dis
tasteful words which offend them as a
bad odor does their nostrils They
are hurt and shocked by what they
hear; and they suffer this hurt on the
public streets, where they have every
right to be protected They are the
victims of ungentl emanly conduct; apd
it is very seldom that they feel willing
to take the trouble to punish the Of
Tenders. The common knowledge Of
this lends to the offense color Of
cowardice.

on q recent occasionally men who
should realize the force Of their bad

be tolerated. The English language is.
full of the choicest Of expressive terms.
without the need to use profane ana
vulgar ones. In fact, the man who
uses them only displays his own ig-
norance, and his paucity of beautiful
expressive words that might be under
his control.
Much can be done by educating the

Installing in them taste for the use

~ The Montreal Star, in a recent edi-
torial calls attention to this by saying:
Every now and then a crusade is
started against profanity in some of

A strange idea prevails in some
quarters that railroad possesses as a

which 1T has only to rub in order to
have wealth uncounted placed at it's

the large figures in which the business
necessarily is expressed. But the time
is still fresh in memory when one
fourth of the entire railroad properties

the hands of receivers. That time may
come again, or it may not. One thing
is sure that when this thing hap
