Chicago (SpeciaD Judge Kene-
saw NJ. Lands, in the United States
District Court, fined the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana $29,240,000 for
violations of the law against accept
ing rebates from railroads. The fine
ts the largest ever assessed against
any individual or any corporation in
the history of American criminal jur-
isprudence, and is slightly more than
131 times as great as the amount
received by the company through its
rebating operations. The case will
be carried to the higher courts by the
defendant company.
The penalty imposed upon the
company is the maximum permitted
under the law, and it was announced
at the end of long opinion, in which
the methods and practices of the
Standard Oil Company were merci-
lessly scored. The Judge, in fact,
declared in his opinion that the Of
flcials of the Standard Oil Company
who were responsible for the prac-
tees of which the corporation was
found guilty were no better than
counterfeiters and thieves, his ex-
act language being:
Worse Than Criminals.
"We may as well look at this sit
uation squarely. The men who thus
deliberately violate this law wound
society more deely than does he who
counterfeits the coin or steals letters
from the mail"
The court held that the railroads
have no more right to make a secret
rate for a shipper than a board of
assessors would have to make a Sc
cret assessment of any particular
piece of property
The court expressed regret that
the law failed to provide more seri-
GUS punishment than a fine, but in
sisted that the penalty would be
sufficiently large to act as a deter
rent, and not of such a size as to
encourage the defender to persist in
lawlessness.
At the conclusion of his opinion,
and after announcing the amount of
the fine, Judge Lands directed that
a special grand jury be called for
the purpose of inquiring into the
acts of the Chicago and Alton Rail-
road Company, it having been prov
ed in the case just closed that the
oil company accepted rebates from
that corporation. This jury is sum-
moned for August IA.

BEHIND THE SCENES.
The Indifference Of the Actor to His
Stage Companions. s

The Indifference Of the Actor to His
Stage Companions.
The Indifference of the actor Of al
most every grade to the play and his
fellow players is to the outsider one of
the many Understandable things
about this little known profession.
There is an authentic case Of an actor
who gained sufficient favor and fortune
In certain play to appear In it con-
tinuously for four seasons. Although
he naturally played the principal part,
he did not appear until the second act,
and 1t is a well known fact that during
those four years he never saw the first
act played or any part of it. There is
no life behind the scenes, because ac-
tors and actresses who amount to any,
thing go at once to their dressing rooms
Immediately their scenes on the stage
are finished.
I recall an instance of young wona>
an whose dancing was genuine SEN
satfon on Broadway for several years.
She was very young and very pretty,
and her engagement did much to es-
tablish the success Of the theater at
which she appeared. It must have
been quite two years after she achiev-
ed her first success when the star, who
was also the manager and owner of
the theater, casually remarked one
night In his dressing room: Let's go
down on the stage and look at Miss
-- dance. I have never seen her, but
they tell me she is very good."- Outing

ART OF WAL KING.
The First Requisite For a Good Gal.
Is a Good Poise.


Is Good Poise.
The delightful art of walking, the
happy practice of vagabondage which.
Stevenson and Whitman praised so
well, the most innocent of pastimas..
the simplest of exercises, is in danger
Of falling into allegiance, says Bliss
Carman in the Delineator.
Our fashionable people affect one
ridiculous manner Of walking and
then another year after year, but all
most no one thinks it worth while to-
learn to walk normally. The normal
walk is not a matter Of caprice, but OF
art. 1t lends itself to the infinite va.
rieties of character and becomes In,
each instance expressive Of the indi-
vidual, so that we recognize a man by
bis gait as easily as by his voice.
The first requisite Of good walking ia
u good poise. If the body is well
poised at each point Of its motion, the
motion itself must be good. The proc.
ess Of walking which has been describ.
ed as a series of falls is, to be some.
what more accurate, a series of. falls
and recoveries so insensibly merged
that there is no saying where the fall
ends and the recovery begins. In walk
ing we are in continuous state Of I'M
stable Equilibrium. We pass gradual
" from one position to another, yet
are never out Of poise. We are play
ing with gravity. A good walker spins
the earth deity beneath his feet, as an
acrobat in circus, lying on his back,
spins barrel or painted ball.

Caribou Horna.

. I. e
Not one out of every ten female carl
bon has horns. When it does have
them they are much smaller than those
Of the bull. The horns Of the female,
however, in general have many more
branches than those of the bull, and
they are much more regularly and
finely formed. The cows carry their
horns much longer than the bulls. They
have been seen with their horns in the
month Of April. The old bulls shed
their horns from the 10th to the last
Of November. They hardly ever carry
them after the month Of November.
The young bulls shed theirs from the
first Of December until the middle of
February. The younger the animal the
longer he retains his horns.

Shakespeare and Scenery.

It is a peculiar fact that, while
Shakespeare, Of all dramatists, offers
the greatest opportunity for scenery,
he also, OF all men who ever wrote, can
best do without It. In fact, I believe
Shakespeare owes his greatness in part
to the fact that he did not have any
scenery. He had to make everything
clear without it. That is why his lines
appeal to the mind as well as the as-
ton OF the eye. Had he known differ
emit, said Daniel Frohman In the De-.
lineator, Shakespeare would not have
been nearly SO great because he prob
ably never would have taken the pains.
However, the converse isn't true. We
are not hiding any Shakespeares be-
hind scenery today. #

TAPS TILL WHILE
BLIND PURCHASES
Three Robberies Are Reported to the
Police as Days Work of the
Light-Fingered
Gentry

The time worn trick by which two
men robbed storekeepers, one cleaning
out the cash till while the other at
tracted' the attention of the clerk or
proprietor of the store, was successfully
worked yesterday morning at the groc-
cry of Jacob Fisher, 401 Central ave-
nue..
Mrs. Fisher was alone in the store at
the time when two men came in and
one asked her for 10 cents worth ofDn-
ions which were in a box on the side
walk. He walked out with Mrs.
Fisher while she got the onions, and
the other man, who remained in the
store. opened the cash drawer and re-
moved it's contents, amounting to
about $40. Both men hurried away be-
fore the loss was discovered. They are
described as smooth faced, we'll dressed
and about 25 or 80 years Of age.
C. w. Dixon of 5271s East First street
appeared at the police station last night
with a tale of woe which won him little
sympathy from the officials. He stated
that he had met young girl in Main
street restaurant and had taken her to
a. room with him and there drank some
beer. After he had gone to sleep the
girl left him. His overcoat, gold
watch. pair of cuff buttons and SIS in
money disappeared at the same time.
G. w. Brooks of 465 East Ninth street
reported to the police last night that
he had stored two wagon loads Of new
Oregon pine boards, 1x12 and % feet
long on a vacant lot at 767 East Eigt-
eenth street. Saturday some one hauled
the lumber away.
