SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY
LOT Comptroller Plant in Southern
Railroad Rate Case.

Washington, Aug. 2S. Probably an
adverse effect Of state legislation on
the property of railroads and the peu
pie Of the country, was the feature
of the testimony today of Comptroller
Plant Of the Southern railway, In the
North Carolina rate hearing case He
pointed crt that Ii panic should re
SUIT from the lowering Of passenger
ratios the state of North Carolina
would have to share the burden oil
the responsibility The discussion Of
lihis phase OF the controversy was
brought bort by question asked Mr.,
liant by Mr.. Justice. speaker of the
North Carolina legislature, ais to whe-
ther there was congestion on the
|So,ithern railway tines In MaFthA Caro-.
lima Mi. Plant replied that the CON
gestion had been relieved tD some
extent, during the last six months, BY
improvements to the Southern sys-
TEN. When asked II he attributed
the congestion to the recent act OF
the North Carolina legislature re-
ducing passenger rates, Mr.. Plant re
piled that the more rate legislation,
the less congestion there would he
because the legislation would have a
tendency to decrease business In the
country as whole. Il mean TO say
added Mr. Plant, that the greater the
agitation against the railroads of the
country, the greater the probability OF
a decrease in general trade"

TO BREAK INTO SOCIETY.
One Must Be Able to Contribute to
the General Gayety.

Some one has said that to get into
London society you must feed people.
amuse people or shock people. In
New York. according to Good House
keeping. you must at least attract
their attention.
Having once attracted their atten-
ton you must make it evident, II you
are an outsider. that you have some
thing to bring: Beauty, If 1t is con-
spicuous enough; brains. II they are
coined into the small change of So
cial intercourse; money, II you know
how to use it.
1t Is not enough to be well born.
we'll bred, well on, well dressed, we'll
educated. Not a block of the resi-
dental parts Of New York but is
filled with people who arc all of these
There is another requirement in or
der to be desirable socially, namely,
to have something to contribute to
the general gayety. Men have
grasped this fact in business. A man
does not go and ask another for a
job on the ground that there is moth
ing against him. But women seem
to feel that an absence of any dis
qualification should set them in So
ciety at once.

C INCIDENT IN CHURCH.

Of Great Commotion.

An exciting incident occurred in .
church at Heaton Moor, Manchester.
England. during recent service.
While the congregation were singing
the last hymn a tall waving plume in
. young lady's hat was ignited at a
gas bracket and began to blaze The
flames were observed by a mem Der of
the choir. and he Immediately left the
choir stalls ard ran down the chancel.
Pulling OF his coat as he went he
rushed past the lectern and down one
of the aisles to where the lady was
standing. Two school boys sitting be-
hind saw what had occurred and in
stantly began to search for the hat
pins. The lady not knowing the rea
son for such a liberty, had not recov
cred from her first shock of indignant
surprise before she was stunned with
amazement by the apparition of a
wild-eyed. coatless person unmistaka-
bly, bearing down on her. The congre-
CATION naturally turned round to fol-
low the movements OF the sprinting
choirster. Just before he reached her
the school boys solved the mystery Of
on her head and stamped the fire out
with their feet. This act, however.
was too late to save her from the in
tention OF her imperious rescuer. who
enveloped her face and head with his
coat The congregation were inwardly
convulsed, the young lady collapsed.
and the reaction of the excitement was
clearly defined on the face of the gal
liant gentleman as he retraced his
steps to the choir stalls.

Voice Of American Women.

Why Is 1t always the women Of
America who are rebuked for their
way Of speaking when 1t is really the
men who deserve a scolding? Amer.
lean women have their peculiarities,
but their voices and their accents are
at any rate careful, and have a refine
ment of their own-not an English
finish, but very perceptible one says
a writer in the London Chronicle. On
the other hand American men very
seldom have what one must call, SO as
to be understood, an educated voice.
The first thing that strikes the new
conner In the United States is the un-
cultivated speech of gentlemen. 1t Is
unlike anything in Europe. unless
some Of the intonations in south Ger.
many may be likeped to it. And this
makes the very great difference hc
tween Boston and the other cities.
The Boston man has the very sound Of
Oxford But let us cease to complain
of the clear and elastic pronunciation
of the women.
