One Source of News.

For many years a certain New York
paper received society and club gossip
from a man whose identity was con-
cealed by clever ruse. Even his
checks were made out to his wife in
her maiden name. He furnished in
formation about the doings and wran-
giles in various clubs-little stories In
volving people whose names are
known by reputation to practically all
readers of newspaper columns. He is
said thus to have averaged an income
Of about $40 week-not much, but
enough to buy hats, gloves and canes.
He was most immaculate and APP
parently prosperous person. 1t is
needless to say that he has never been
suspected of this small traffic. A
wealthy relative died and left him in
dependent. When some such man
furnishes the clew to delectable
scandal he has done a stroke of bust
ness that will keep him in small lux
uries for months to come.-Whitman

"OUTLAW ACT" APPLIED
Great Railways Franchise Revoked
in Alabama Because 1t Appealed
to Uncle Sans Court.

Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 3. = An
nouncement is made by Secretary of
State Julian that he has revoked the
franchise of the Southern Railway
company because it removed a case
from the state circuit court of ITALIA
dega county to the United States cir
cult court at Birmingham. This action
CT the Southern is alleged to be in
violation of the two outlaw acts passed
by the state legislature last winter,
each of which provided that such re-
moval should be punishable by a revC-
cation of the charter of the offending
railroad.
One of these laws. the better known,
was declared unconstitutional by Unit
ed States Judge Jones, but the other
has never been enjoined by the fed
eral courts. For this reason the &C.
ton of the state official was taken un-
der the provisions of the second Of
these outlaw acts. The state insists
that this second outlaw act is still in
force.

sor for secret valuation of property.
The defendant argued that the COM
merce involved in the case was not In
terstate, the argument being that it
was all in Illinois on the ground that
for convenience in transportation
Whiting, Ind, was included in the
Chicago shipping district. Judge Lands
refused to accept this view, insisting
that as the oil was shipped from Whit
ing, which is actually in Indiana, to
East st. Louis which is actually in
Illinois. the commerce was interstate.
An important point one which act
ually decided the size of the fine was
the one involving the definition Of Il
shipment. The indictment charged that
the oil trust had shipped oil from Whit
ing. Ind, to East st. Louis. ILL.,. at 6
cents per 100 pounds, when the rate
filed with the interstate commerce
commission was Is cents. and the in
dictment made every car load ship
ment. The company insisted that the
number of shipments should be gov
erned first by the number of appl1ca-
tons at the railway office for rate,
which was three; or by the number OF
bills rendered by the railway company,
which was thirty-siX; or by the num-
Der of train loads. The Judge set aside
all these propositions on the ground
that the rate was on car load bass,
and insisted that a shipment was Il
car load, regardless of how many car
loads were in the same train. SO the
fine was assessed on each car load.

ROASTS THE CORPORATION
Declares 1t No Better Than Common
Thief in Conduct.

In his rutterances against the oil
company preliminary to assessil z the
great fine, and also preliminary to tie
calling of the other grand jury, Ju( g.
Lands clearly expressed his Eeief that
the Standard Oil company was no let
ter than common thief. emphasizing
the position that he has taken thrOugH-
out the trial ''1he men who &c. ber-
ately violate this law" said he, 'woTnl

MALL
The company had pleaded that its
traffic manager had inquired of the
railway as to the legal rate for oil and
was told that it was 6 cents, and that
this rate had been filed with the inter-
state board. The judge refused to be-
lieve that the company did not know
that this statement was false, and in
sisted that it accepted the concession
knowingly. thus charging perjury
against the company's witness.
He also characterized as STUDIED
insilence - * s. aimed at this court
the request of the defense that he pay

expressed regret that he could not un-
der the law send the oil trust officials

Power of FaIIinu Water.

1t is perfectly we'll known to every
one that water constantly dropping
upon a stone will wear it away, and
there is trite old proverb regarding
this fact The force Of single drop of
water falling from a height is not
great, but the results Of this tiny blow
when it is many times repeated are
astounding. There is a story of one
poor wretch who was bound with his
back to stone wall and had a stream
Of water ''of the bigness of mans
finger" directed on to his bare head,
the water falling from height of
about eighteen feet. The receptacle
from which this apparently harmless
stream tricKled was a barrel holding
only twenty gallons, but before the
water had more than half run out the
man was dead, with a hole in his skull
which exposed the brain.-Popular Me-

ST. GAUDENS Is DEAD
Foremost Sculptor OF the United
States Succumbs to a General
Breakdown of the System.

Cornish, n. H., Aug. 5.-Augustus
st. Gudens, LII. D.. l.. III. D., the
sculptor, died at his home in Cornish,
after a long illness. Death was due
to general breakdown of the sys-
tenn caused in part by form of nerv-
Gus dyspepsia with which he had long
been troubled, and although he was
temporarily relieved he continued in
poor health. During the past month
his decline had been rapid. Until the
first part of July he visited his studio
nearly every day, but as he grew
weaker he had to be assisted to his
work. Since the middle of July he
was obliged to remain in bed. He was
born at Dublin, Ireland, March 1, 1S4S
His principal works are the Lincoln

POINTS FROM THE DECISION
How the Judge Replies to the Defend
ants Contentious.

Judge Lands took up the corten-
tons of the defense one after the other,
and these are some of his replies: The
defendant alleged that by authorizing
common carriers to establish rates
which, when published and filed, shall
be binding upon the shipper the law
delegates to the carrier legislative DOW
er which is conferred upon congress
exclusively by general grant in the
constitution. This was dismissed with
the comment that the supreme court
of the United States has ruled adverse
ly to the contention in several in
stances where the same question arose
On state statutes.
The allegation that the company had
natural right to make private con-
tract for q railroad rate is met with
the assertion that ''candor oLliges the
court to say that he knows of nothing
to support the proposition. but the
eminence of counsel who advance it, -
and the judge holds that of the two
parties to the contract one was a rail
way common carrier, that it was Il
public functionary, that it acquired its
property under the law of eminent do
main, that property thus acquired must
be used for the benefit of the entire
public The railway was fundamental
~ incompetent to make private con-
tract, the judge held.
IN enforcing this view of the matter
the judge declared that there was no
more reason for the claim of natural
right of private contract in such a case
than there would be for the claim of
similar right to private contract with
