FLAT RATE ORDERED.
Wisconsin Railroads Must Have Two
and Half Cent Fare.


The railroad commission of Wiscon-
sin has issued an order reducing the
maximum passenger rates on the Chi
cago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis & Oma-
ha. the Chicago & Northwestern ana
the Chicago, milwaukee,. & st. Paul
railroads from to 2 IL cents per
mile. The order is TO go into effect
within twenty days unless the roads Ill
the meantime secure an injunction re
straining the commission from putting
it into effect. which is not expected.
The order is issued on petitions OF
Former Secretary of State W. l.. Hou-
ser of Mondovi and A. e. Buell. of Sun
Prairie.
In concluding the order the commits
sion says:
con the facts found, the present
maximum rate of cents per mile Tor
interstate travel in Wisconsin is eX-
cessive and the same should be reduced
to 21-2 cents per mile. The issuance
of a 5O0-miIe ticket, good for the pur-
chaser or any member of his family,
at a price of SO is recommended.
The order does not affect the Bur
Yington, Wisconsin Central, Illinois
Central, Green Bay e Western, Great
Northern or other large roads in WIS
consin, but it is expected that competl-
ton will compel them to materially
reduce their rates, and the commission
saws that it will consider their cases
later. 1t is estimated that the order ls-
sued will result in a saving of at least
$4,000, 900 annually to the people OF

A PREACHERS TOPIC
REV. VAN DE WATER ADDRESSES
 CHURCH CONGRESS.
In Discussion on "what Shall the Preacher Preach" He Says so- cIaI Questions and Novels Are
 Appropriate.

New Orleans. April 12.-when the third days session of the swenty-fifth annual Protestant Episcopal Church Congress opened this morning. the topic brought up for discussion was What Shall the Preacher Preacn?" In a paper on this subject, Rev. George W. Wan De Water, rector of St. An drews' Church of New York city, said:
 Shall the preacher concern himself, in his preaching, with the social ques- tions of the day? Yes, if he is careful not to become such faddist that he can preach about nothing else. How. indeed, can a man be a preacher md not be deeply concerned with the social questions of the day? Yet. St. Paul was not forever .harpng about the in cestuous Corinthians nor telling wo- men on all occasions how to arrange their head gear when they went to church.
 "Is the preacher to refer to current literature and the passing novel, and how passing most novels are? Yes, assuredly, but never let the congrega- tion' think that the preacher knows more about novels than he does about the prophecy of Ezekiel or the gospel according to St, Luke"

was rnomentarfly predominaht: almost every emotion, except positive merri- ment. which Du Barry more than once assumed to conceal fercer passions, Mrs. Carter expressed. And in doing 70. she was wonderfully artistic, us ing now a languorous pout of the lips, again an amorous lowering of the eye lashes; voice resonant with passion or broken and sobbing with sorrow and hopeiessness; quickening clenching of the hands, 6. gesture of Irresistible appeal. an eloquent abandon of the en- tire body in the cunning entrapping of men who had only to look to be ens slaved. Mrs. Carter's voice was ex- pressive and flexible; its range was limited; only once or twice did 1t touch what might be called the feminine note. It lacked freshness, and this lack with the lack of youthful beauty which would have added to her tmpersonation nf Du Barry was the anly defect in a presentation which was passing excel lent.
 Mrs. carter's cast was eminently good. Franklyn Roberts as Jean Du Barry was admirable. Jack Standing as Cosse was entirely acceptable, Rich ard Thornton as Louis and Hodson Taylor as the Papal Nuncio were no- tably efficient.
 The mechanical Presentation of the play was exceptionally meritorious, Its scenery and costumes were historically correct and sumptuously handsome, The presentation Of minor parts was as notable for Its excellent management and carefulness of details, and the play as an entirety was altogether satis- factory.
