FREIGHT RATES WILL
BE UNDER CONSIDERATION
Hearing Has Been Set for
October IL.
MANY COMPLAINTS MADE.

Asserting that it appears that CLASH
fled freight rates from Indianapolis to
various points in the state are exces-
sive, the Indiana Railroad commission
has issued an order for hearing on
the freight rate question Oct. -. In
the meantime the commission will con-
duct a general inquiry into the freight
rate question The whole subject of
rates on classified freight will be gone
into throughout the state, all railroads
being questioned.
The commissions order says that
freight rates in Indiana lack uniformi-
ty and work to the disadvantage of
many localities. 1t is this that the
commission hopes to remedy. The
railroads themselves admit that the
freight rates need revision and modi-
fication. Many complaints have been
filed with the commission protesting
against alleged excessive rates and the
commission has revised classified rates
to and from individual points in many
cases. One of these complaints is
from Richmond.

Old Orchard, Me-, Aug 16-Half OF
Old Orchards summer hotel and cot
tage section along the shore front was
destroyed by fire last night, the loss
probably amounting TO $4,000, 900
not including all the summer toggery
lost by fully 5000 resorters, the great
er part sof whom will have 10 sleep on
the store tonight Sixteen hotels and
100 cottages were destroyed
The fire was discovered in the up
per part of the Olympia hotel about
O'Clock and is believed to have had its
origin in an oil lamp upset by a serv-
ant. Adjoining building containing
stores located along the board walk,
beside the Boston and Maine tracks.
soon caught fire and from these the
flames jumped the tracks and COM
municated with the Alberta hotel and
several other large buildings near the
shore.
Area of Fifty Acres Ablaze.
The Boston and Maine railroad sta
ton was blown up by dynamite to ar
rest the flames. but the fire marched
on unimpeded.
An area of about fifty acres along
the beach was soon blazing. In this
area were located some of the most
popular of the hotels, all of which
were filled to overlooking by summer
guests. One by one the Hotel Fiske,
one of the finest on the beach, valued
at $4,000; the Hotel Emerson, valued
at $4,000 with it's furnishings; the
Hotel Alberta, the Aldine, the Law
renee house, and a half dozen smaller
hotels were caught and left in ruins.
From the hotel line the flames
swept through the cottage colony, de-
stroying more than fifty, including
many valuable summer residences.
Summer Guests in Wild Scamper.
1t was the liveliest night the sum-
mer visitors ever had in Old Orchard.
All the hotels were crowded and the
flight of the guests from the burning
hotels with as much of their posses
sions as they could carry quickly had
the beach Uttered with trunks and
clothes.
The Old Orchard fire department
was utterly unable to handle the
blaze, and the firemen from Portland,
Biddeford and Saco, who responded
to calls for assistance, were hampered
for some time after their arrival by
difficulty with the hose couplings.

CASE OF MRS. EDDY
ARGUED IN COURT
Judge Rules Evidence Must Be
Confined to Decisions
In Business.
EXCEPTIONS ARE TAKEN.
ATTORNEYS AND COURT HAVE A
LIVELY TILT AS TO THE POINTS
AT ISSUE IN THE FAMOUS LITI-
CATION.

| Concord. n. H., Aug. 16.-Following
/ the interview with Mrs Mary Baker
1 G.. Eddy the question of her mental
condition was taken up before the
board of masters.
| Dewitt C.. Howe, counsel for the
plaintiffs in the accounting suit
brought against Mrs Eddy, formally
withdrew the term general insanity
as applied to the condition of the
Christian Science leader
Judge Aldrich, for the masters
made the following ruling: 1--WE are
all of opinion that the evidence tend
, ing to show that Mrs. Eddy is in a
delusionary mental condition in re-
spect to forces operating upon her
relatives and next friends and through
them upon her business, if of a char
acter to show mental impairment and
to influence her in business affairs,
is admissible. This is limited to ell
ltStu ueiu5iOHS WHICH REASONABLY cOl-
meet themselves with respect to the
management of property affairs"
To this ruling both sides excepted.
Competence to Direct is Question.
Judge Aldrich, speaking for the
masters. said that the question to be
determined is that of competence to
manage the property, not one of in
sanity, general delusion, or religious
delusion.
I'VE will show your honors," declar-
ed Mr.. Howe, mot monomania on
the part of Mrs. Eddy. but a condi-
ton of insanity which confirms every
action of her life
Judge Adrich asked if the masters
had any more right to decide against
Christian Science as religion than
against Catholicism or spiritualism.
Christian Science is a system of
medicine mot a religion)" replied Mr..
Howe. "In so far as Christian
Science is speculation it cannot be
called a delusion, but when it is bas-
ed upon supposed facts which can be
proved not to be facts then it is a
delusion."

Kill Clay Birds
Col. w. r.. Davis Gives Two Local
Gunners Lesson in Marksman-
ship at Proving Grounds.

The Davis Proving grounds at
Remington where Col. w. r. Davis
is host for. the members of the
Clarksburg Gun Club, who go out
of town to practice for the big
state shoot here the twenty-tifth OF
the month, are popular both be-
cause of his hospitality and their Sc
clusion. Especially are the grounds
attractive to those who do not want
every one to see them practice.
And. thus, the Telegram finds
that noted marksmen and rabbit
hunters of some renown make it a
point to get away-that is from the
city, presumably TO take a hunt
for rabbits and other game-but. in
fact to hunt the clay pigeon, though
just why they seek the clay none
know, unless it comes within the
practice line, but where is the vic
tim?
Now, it is a matter of .Nimrod
record, that two brave hunters went
forth from the city precincts with
fur coats?-no They killed a score
of rabbits, they do say, but not the
sign OF a cotton tail did this paper
see on their return. But the Telc-
gram did hear some things, such as
the marvellous craftsmanship they
did show, when the trap was sprun&,
on the Davis Proving Grounds-and
good proof it was that they need
some other gnns, or else the five
hundred purchased shells will burn
without results. Instead OF Mr..

THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS.
Recent Attempts to Tai late the
Beasts That Periss.

Every 10Y and then some natural
list ~endeavors to make an approximate
numerical count of known animal
species. This kind of attempt is sure.
ly not without interest, but it must be
acknowledged that its results are very
uncertain. We are far from knowing
all species, and there is yet a delight
full prospect ahead for those who love
systematic zoology and for biologists
who bestOw mutual honors by giving
each others names to some animal
hitherto unknown.

Across Africa by Motor,

Lieut.. Graetz, the German officer
who, with two companions, started
from Oar es Salaam last week to cross
Africa in a motor through British Cen
trail Africa and Rhodesia to Swakop-
Imund, German Southwest Africa, has
sreached Mrogoro, which Is about 100
miles from Oar es Salaam.
On arriving at Mrogoro he decided
that the a was much too heavy for
the rough country through which it
had to travel. He therefore discarded
the body of the car, leaving only the
chassis, on which he rugged a seat.
The only luggage he is taking with
him consists of his sleeping sack, a
supply of petrol and a box containing
a small stock of provisions and medi-
cines.-Rhodesia Herald.
