A DECREASE IN THE EARNINGS.
Pennsylvania Claims Loss Is Due to
Two Cent Fare.

Philadelphia, Dec. 13.-Referring to
the operation of two cent rate law pass
ed by the Pennsylvania legislature the
following statement has been issued by
the Pennsylvania railroad:
can analysis of the earnings of the
Pennsylvania railroad for October the
first month of the operation of the two
cent fare law shows the new law has
caused large decrease in gross reve-
nue. and a still greater decrease in net
earning of the lines of the company
within the state.
I'm October, 1907, lines in Pennsylva-
MIA show a decrease of $4,000, while
the lines in the Pennsylvania system
outside of Pennsylvania show an in
crease of per cent. This same per-
centage of increase applied to state
lines would show an increase of S140-
900 instead of decrease of $64, 600 as
above.
This decrease in revenue is absolute
and has not been Offset in any manner
by increased travel stimulated by the
reduction in the rate per mile.
1.-The figures stated cover the loss in
gross earnings only. The decrease in
net revenues, however, has been still
greater on account of the increased cost
of operation due to advances in wages
and cost of maintenance"

was antagonized by Senator Stone,
who declared that the transaction was
open and above board and this was
not to be compared with any of the
propositions that had been con-
demned. Many people, he said, would
go to Denver, and the young and
growing city was glad to make this
contribution for the advantages it
would receive. The money, he said,
would be badly needed in starting the
campaign.
Mayor Tom Johnson advocated the
acceptance of the money offered by
Denver. He said money for campaign
purposes is contributed by corporations
with the view of securing advantages
in legislation or otherwise, while the
contribution of Denver could not be
ascribed to any such purpose. The peo
pie of Denver, he said, have a regular
organization for the purpose of attract
ing conventions to the city for business
reasons, and it was perfectly proper
for the Democratic committee to accept
the offer.
Senator Tillman opposed the accept
ance of the money. Let the local
Democratic organization of Colorado"
he said, "have the money to fight their
next campaign. Guggenheim can be de-
pended upon to furnish the money for
the Republicans. Now give the Demo-
Gratis of Colorado a chance and let them
use the money to return Senator.

AND HE SANG.
Ed Howe Does a New Stunt i'm
Topeka.
Proves to His Audience He Can
Really Sing.
BIG AUDIENCE THERE.
Three Thousand People at the
Auditorium.
Governor Hoch Introduces the
Lecturer.

Edgar w. Howe the editor of the
Atchison Globe, appeared at the Audi
forum last night in a role entirely new
to his many Topeka friends and adj
mirers, the role of a vocalist. After
being introduced by Governor E. w
Hoch, Mr.. Howe announced his inten-
lions of preceding his address by
musical selection. And even though he
had been touted in advance notices as
q former singer in glee club, the au
dience was not entirely inclined to take
his intentions seriously after his an
nouncement. But Mr.. Howe was game.
With Mrs. Ada Smith Fullerton of
Atchison carrying the leading part he
sang the old song 'Larboard Watch
Alloy" And he sang it well, too. He
has deep baritone voice which is
pleasing and possesses rich tone. Had
he not been successful as a journalist
Mr.. Howe would probably have been
famous today as an operate star.
As is always the case when Mr.. Howe
lectures in Topeka he was greeted by
q good audience and there were over
g. 900 people in his audience last. night.
OF these over a hundred came down
from Atchison just before the lecture
in a special train. Whatever else may
be said of Atchison it is nevertheless
an undisputed fact that the party from
Atchison contained the handsomest
people seen in Topeka for some time.
Not all of them were good looking but
collectively they presented a very hand
some appearance and the women were
especially fine looking. Governor Bailey
who now lives in AtchiSon was one or
the party.
Mr.. Howe was introduced by Cover

TO MEET JULY 7.
Democrats Select a Late Date for
Their Convention.

Washington, Dec. 13.-After decid-
ing to hold the next Democratic con-
vention at Denver and fixing the date
of the meeting for July Z, 1908, the
Democrat national committee entered
upon a spirited debate on the pro-
priety of accepting more of the $780,
900 offered by Denver for the con-
vention than actually needed to pay
the convention expenses in that city.
The opposition to the acceptance OF
the contribution took the form OF
resolution by Representative Clayton
of Ala ALBANIA, declining money not ac-
tually needed for convention purposes
but after a long debate, the resolution
was laid on the table by vote OF 3 L
to IA.
Mr.. Clayton. Rep. John s. Williams
of Mississippi and Governor Hoke
Smith of Georgia all spoke in favor OF
passing the resolution. Mr.. Smith
was especially emphatic in saying that
the 100000 which had been onered
to secure the Republican national
convention had been offered 70 ana
about to be accepted by the Demo
publicans had turned down the offer
because it was regarded as in the ma
ture of bride and that democrats III
view of these circumstances could not
afford to accept it MI. Wiiila n1l
spoke in similar vein. as also did Mr..
clayton Mr.. Taggart advocated the
acceptance of the 100000 saying 1T
would be needed now even worse than
IT was needed in 1900. and at that
time it would have been impossible to
have opened headquarters for Judge
Parker if they had not had the ex-
fra money secured from st. Louis
where the convention was held
Senator Stone of Missouri made a
long speech in which he favored the
acceptance of the money.
Mr. CLAYTON declared that the ac-
ceptance of this money would be in
line with the very practices in cam
paign contribution that had been con-
demned by the committee. This view

BOTH GAINED
Man and Wife Fatten on Grape-Nuts.

The notion that meat is necessary
for real strength and the foundation
of solid flesh is now no longer as
prevalent as formerly.
Excessive meat eaters are usually
sluggish a part of the time because
they are not able to fully digest their
food, and the undigested portion is
changed into what is practically
kind of poison that acts upon the
blood and nerves, thus getting all
through the system.
ct was a heavy meat eater" writes
an Ills. man, land up to two years
ago, was in very poor health. 1 suf-
fered with indigestion so that 1 only
weighed 95 pounds.
"Then 1 heard about Grape-Nuts
and decided to try it. My wife
laughed at me at first but when 1
gained to 125 pounds and felt so fine,
she thought she would eat Grape-Nuts
ssNow she is fat and well and has
GAINED 40 pounds. We never have in
Digestion any more and seldom feel
the desire for meat. A neighbor of
our. IS years old, was troubled with
INDIGESTION for years; was a heavy
meat eater, and now since he has been
eating Grape-Nuts regularly, he says
he is we'll and never has indigestion.
+ could name a lot of persons who
have really been cured of indigestion
by changing from a heavy meat diet

Their conduct last night was about the

they would whistle and almost raise

would have helped preserve decorum.
AS the Atchison people who attend

ditorium last night were returning
in the special train to Atchison, Mr..
Howe was presented with a beautiful
silver loving cup, gift from his Atch-

Teller" Mr.. Tillman. however. voted
against the motion to lay the resolu-
ton on the table. Mayor Dahlman of
Omaha expressed the idea that the
money could be probably employed In
opening the campaign and said he had
no doubt that Denver had made its
proposition in good faith and that it
should be accepted in the same spirit
in which it had been made.
Charles F. Wilson, sitting as a proxy
for the members of the committee from
Colorado assured the committee that
Denver had no desire to appear as I'M
duly influencing the committee. He
said there is a business mems league in
Denver, an important part of whose
duty is to secure conventions, and that
the proposition to the Democrats to go
to Denver had been made as 1T has
been to secure many other meetings.
He said the Denver people would be
disappointed if the entire sum was not
accepted.
The motion to table Mr.. Clayton's
motion was made at the conclusion of
Mr.. Wilson's speech and prevailed.
July was selected as the date for
the convention after a very brief dis
cussion. The committee adjourned
finally at o'clock.

FEAST AFTER THEIR FAST.
Worshipers of Islam in the Observ'
 ance of Ramazan.

The worshipers of Islam are at present in the full swing of alter nate fasting and feasting. During the day, from sunrise to sunset, they do not partake of any food and drink, and strictly abstain from smoking. As soon, however, as the thunder of cannons announces at different parts of the metropolis that the sun has set and that the twelfth hour of the day, according to Mos lem time division, has struck, the feasting begins. Then the faithful Osmanli tries to make up for the re- strictions and restraints of the day. As Ramazan is now falling when the days are comparatively short his fasting is less trying than when the movable month happens to occur in summer. All the quarters peopled by Turks, which are at night at other times of the year perfectly des olate and quiet, take during the nights of Ramazan a different as- pect. Especially is this the case in Stambul, the heart of the Mussul- man population. All the streets are then crowded with people. Groups of yelled women are seen at every turn. Music resounds in differ ent corners, and near the famous Shah-Za-de Mosque theaters of every description, from the national Kara-Gheuz to a French cafe chan tant, display in every possible degree their skill and ability to attract and amuse the passers by. All the mosques and houses are brightly it. lumined, and in the latter the mem- bers of the family, the servants, slaves and eunuchs included, enjoy the pleasure of the chief night meal. The Lancet.

Rev. Dr. J. o. Peck, once pastor of Trinity Methodist church, was not only fond of a good horse, but of a good joke, and he could preach good sermon. One year funds were low in the church treasury, and it devolved to some extent upon the pastor to see that money was raised.
 A meeting for the discussion of ways and means was called, the doc- tor being present. The directors suggested that some of the wealth. fest members of the congregation be called on, and asked for private sub- scriptions. To this pr. Peck agreed.
 A few days later he was met on the street by one of the directors.
 "Well, doctor," said he, Chow are you getting on money raising?"
 "Fine," said Dr. Peck, as his eyes twinkled. 'I went around to sev- eral bankers, merchants and manu- lecturers, but it was of no use. Then I thought of the church plumber who robbed me last month, so I went around to him and held him up for the full amount"
