FINE FAT REBATES
 FUR STANDARD O|L Shipments to Africa Made At
 Half Price CONTRACT IN EVIDENCE Treasurer of Competing Company Tes- tifies That Transportation Rates Given to Him Are Double
 Standard Oil Rates. ~
CONTRACT IN EVIDENCE

New York, October 4.-An omnibus con tract whereby the Standard oil company obtains from every steamship company operating between New York and Africa rate for lubricating oil that is about one-half what it's competitor, the New York Lubricating oil company pays, was produced today in the hearing of the federal suit against the alleged oil com bine. This contract was placed in evil dence and Phillip Harrison, a manager of the New York Lubricating Oil con- pany, declared that his company was forced to pay double the standard rate, notwithstanding his protest to the steam ship company.
 MT. Harrison said that shipping charges to his company were increased from about 2l shillings until they reached 42 shil- lings, six pence in 1905. The contract which the Standard made on February 10, 1s06 with the Hansa Prince, Houston and America Africa steamship lines made the rate to the Standard for oil shipments slightly less than IT shillngs.
 w. w. Tarbell of Philadelphia, treasurer of the Pure oil company and of the United States Pipe Line company, re- lated the difficulties his companies had encountered in competition with the Standard Oil company. MT. Tarbel stated that the business of the Pure oil company was placed in districts selected with view to avoiding business rela- tions with certain railroads whose rate discriminations were more feared by the company than the opposition of the IlStandard. Mir. Tarbell is a brother of Miss Ida M. Tarbell, who has written San Antonio, October 4.-Owen V. An

5000 MEN STRIKE
 AT NEW ORLEANS Gotten Handlers Tie Up Entire
 Port Shipments WILL FIGHT TO A FINISH Exchanges of the City Are Backing Up the Steamship Agents and 25oo
 Strikebreakers Will Be
 Imported at Once.
WILL FIGHT TO A FINISH

New Orleans, October 4,-,rhe immense cotton shipping out of this port was tied up at 6 o'clock tonight by the strike of 5000 members of the Dock and Cotton Handlers unions. The cotton toaders have arrayed against them all theH business exchanges of New Orleans, which have declared that the commercial life of the port depends upon the outcomeI of this strike. lH
 Levee strikes here have alwSys been serious. From 10000 to 120O0 msn will probably be involved in this one because the railroad freight handlers have served notice that they will not work witt non- union men at the docks Probably over half of the strikers are negroes.
 The immediate cause of the striks was the refusal of 1900 screwmen, whose work is to pack cotton into the holds of ve ,sels to load more than 160 bales per day, Work ing in gangs of five. Steamship agents demand that 200 bales be slowed and Tart ly as a test of what can be done in loading cotton they had the crews of steamers load as many as 250 bales Der day. As one result of the test the exs- tence of the Screwmen's union had bepn an issue.
 Steamship agents claim that with in,- provement in methods of packing cottoi into bales the trade of the expert screw4 man has vanished, and that the screw men of today are unskilled labor. Their pay is nearly twice that of other dock laborers, ranging from 8 to s6 per day, with $6 and s7 demanded.
 The present strike has been preparing for months, and was precipitated week ago when the commercial interests of New Orleans assured the steamship agents they would stand by them. Ar engagements have been made to import about 25O0 strike-breakers immediately. Crews of loading vessels will also be used as strike-breakers.

WHAT TIE BABY WEIGHED

One of the most important items con- nected with Spain's new heir to the throne was the weight of the little prince, which reports place at eight and one-half pounds, and while that may seem rather light for king, it is bove the average. You often hear of ten and twelve pound babies, but doctors smile at such tales and experts in ma ternity lift their eyebrows when stories of that kind are told.
 There was possibly the usual excite ment attending the process of weigh ing. The democracy of the world is this kind. A baby is baby the world over, and it's advent is an incident of as much importance whether it's first walls come from a palace or cottage.
 And it is a sweet and gracious fash ion of humanity that makes babies well come in this world, without any reas- ons of political or financial standing.
 The delight and gratitude of the lab orer who tolls in the ditch over the gift of child which makes one more mouth to feed, and one more body to clothe, reveals to us the kinship of the race.
 A man need not be a king, nor wo- man queen to experience the happy thrill of paternity, and, let us thank God that baby-which is the most helpless of all creatures need not be swathed in fine linen and priceless la ces and rocked in a cradle of gold to learn the endearments and the faithful protection which love can lavish upon it's object in the humblest abode.
