| New York, Nov. 12.-The reasons
given by E H. Hartman as to why he
should not answer certain questions
put to him during an investigation by
the interstate commerce commission
are set forth in brief which has been
filed by Former Judge r. s. Lovett,
counsel for Mr.. Hartman. The pro-
ceedings brought by the commission to
compel Mr.. Hartman to answer the
questions is to come up before Judge
Hough Of the United States circuit
court tomorrow.
The principal point in the brief Is
the contention that the acts concern
| ing which Mr. Hartman was ques-
toned did not relate to interstate COM
merce nor to a violation Of the inter-
state commerce law, but was designed
to compel a disclosure by him OF
transactions for which, had they talk
en- place, neither the commission nor
the congress Of the United States could
afford a constitutional remedy"
The brief also sets forth that Mr..
Hartman does not admit that the In
terstate commerce commission has
any power other than those conferred
by the act of congress approved Feb.
4, 1887, and the amendments thereto.
The questions to which Mr.. Harri-
man objected related to the purchase
of the stock of other railroads in the
interest Of the Union Pacific and to
the Union Pacific dividend and more
particularly the $2S.o00,OOO Of Illinois
Central stock purchased at SITS a
share.

KINGS SET THE STYLE.
Then the Fashions Spread to the Mid
die Glasses.

The horse is no respecter Of persons.
He is always as willing to unseat
princely rider as he is the unaccustom-
ed clerk who has hired him by the
hour. says the Richmond Times-D1s-
Patch. Kings have frequently mad
trouble in connection with their
mounts. One Richard Is, perhaps,
best remembered in the popular mlno
because he once, we are told, begged
the privilege Of exchanging his king
dom for a likely plug. Latterly, royai
euuestrians have been having a less
impressive sort Of difficulty; that,
namely. of sticking on. Some time ago
at some military manoeuvres, Kaiser
Wilhelm fell off his horse. Anotner'
also at some military manoeuvres, tne
king of Saxony fell off his. The thing
nromises to become the fad OF the
hour. For 1t is we'll known that what
a great monarch does, that everybody
else who is anybody must do. II King
Edward wears a pink waistcoat on

That the kaiser's example Is no less
hortatory is shown by the demeanor
OF the king Of Saxony. The kings OF
Greece, Spain, Italy and Norway are
requested to get in line as quickly as
possible. In time the fashion will
spread to America, to Newport, to

INFECTIOUS AND CONTAGIOUS.
Difference Between Diseases Not Al
ways Understood by the Layman.

Difference Between Diseases Not Al
ways Understood by the Layman.
The term INFECTIOUS" should be ap-
piled to all diseases caused by the en-
trance into the body Of their SPECIFIC
micro organisms, writes DR.. William
Hanna Thomson, in Everybodys. A
brief and easily remembered classifca-
ton of these diseases might be Tor
muIated as follows: Those which are
communicated from the sick to the
healthy directly. That is, simple prox-
unity is sufficient to convey the dis
ease. To this class only should the
term contagious" be applied. To those
which are communicated from the sick
to the healthy indirectly, that is. by
some intermediate carrier Of the infec-
ton, and not by simple proximity.
These diseases, therefore, are not con-
tagious," and those sick with them
can be personally attended without
danger.
Now, every infection can be commu-
nicated by injection into vein, and
some of the contagious diseases, like
smallpox and scarlet fever, may be
carried by clothes, or even by letter.
from one person to another. The term
contagious" need not be objected to
because, strictly speaking, 1t dennes
the mode Of communication to be by
personal contact. This probably Is not
the actual mode in the majority OF
cases. but the explanatory term "prox-
unity" is amply sufficient; and, more
over, points out the only adequate
means of prevention, namely, quaran-
tine. The practical question, then, be-
comes how long the quarantining OF
the sick should be continued, and this
can be settled only, according to the
particular infection itself. The chief
members Of this class are: smallpox,
scarlet fever, measles, whooping- -cougn'
diphtheria, influenza, typhus (not ty-
phoid) fever, the bubonic plague,
mumps. besides some other minor
contagious complaints.
1t is with the mode Of propagation OF
those diseases which are communicat-
ed by some intermediary carrier, that
the publ. needs the most instruction.
The chief members Of this class are
typhoid fever, Asiatic cholera and tu-
berculosis. None of them are contagious
the person sick with them may be
attended all through the illness by
physicians, nurses or friends without
their contracting the disease. And yet
no person ever has any one Of these
affections without having got 1t from
some one who has 1t.

LAW AGAINST KILLING.
Deep rooted Feeling Against Murder
Exists In Most Animals.

Exists In Most Animals.
Ernest Thompson Seton's "The Ma
tural History Of the Ten Command
ments" in the November Century de-
clares there is deep-rooted feeiing
against murder in most animals. Their
senses tell them that this Is one OF
their own race, and their instinct that
therefore, 1t is not lawful prey. New
born rattlesnakes will strike instantly
at a stranger Of any other species, Dut
never at one Of themselves. l nave

wild animals often fight for the
mastery, usually over quesuoh oi
mates. but in virtually all cases the
fight is over when one yields. Ihe
vanouished can save himself either
bv submission or by flight. What Is
commoner than to see the weaker OF
tow dogs disarm his conqueror py
eroveling on the ground? The victor
in a fight between two cats Is satis-
aed when the foe flies; he Will not
pursue him twenty yards. In either
case had the enemy been Of another
race the victor would have followed
and killed him.
What makes the differenceT op-
yiously not a reasoned-out conclusion
hut a deep instructive feeling-the
recognition Of the unwritten law
against unnecessarily killing ones
own kind.
There are doubtless exceptions 10
this. Cannibalism is recorded OF
many species, but Investigation shows
that 1t is rare except in the lowest
forms and among creatures demoral-
lied by domestication or captivity.
The higher the animals are the more
repugnant does cannibalism become.
It is seldom INDUCED in except under
dire stress Of famine: Nothing put
actual starvation induced Nansen's
dogs to eat the flesh of their COM
rades, although it was offered to them
them in a disguised form. expert
ence shows me that It is useless to
bait a wolf trap with a part Of dead
wolf. His kinsmen shun it in disgust
unless absolutely famished.
Obviously no race can live by can
nibalism, and this is instinctively rec
ognized by all the higher animals
In other words, the law against MUIR
der has been hammered into them py
natural selection, and so fully estab-
lished that not only will they abstain
from preying on one Of their own
tribe, but will rally to rescue one
whose life Is threatened. The fact
that there are exceptional cases does
not disprove the law among beasts
any more than among men.

The nicture mentioned arl|

The picture mentioned az oe-
queathed along with the vase was
painting representing the scene In the
City of Mexico upon the occasion when
mob following an offending foreigner
to the door of the United States lega-
tion and Minister Joel r. Poinsett, an
other native Of South Carolina, told
his secretary, Mr.. Mason Of Virginia,
to take the United States flag and
Aaunt it in the face of the mob to
drive 1t from the legation door. This
dramatic act had the desired effect
and the foreigner was saved. John
Blake White .(17S1-1S5O, the eminent
South Carolina artist, was the painter
and Mr.. B. F. Pepoon, a merchant OF
Charleston, raised fund by subscrip-
ton and purchased the picture and
offered 1t to the United States senate,
which refused 1t, probably for diplo-
matte reasons. It was then presented
to General Jackson. By Governor AL

Stanley, president Of the Palmetto as

reached Columbia, where Captain
Stanley lived, the vase was saved, but
it is believed the picture was lost in
the great fire kindled by those modern
Huns and Goths. Some years ago
while Capt James d. Blanding was
president Of the Palmetto association
he induced the association to return

cent panic" speaks well for theil
ability to 'act just naturally" and in
that way keep their valuable secrets;
also 1t tells. perhaps. that the trail

And while the messengers filed In
the main corridor Of the sub-treasury
got their money and hurried out, there
was another channel from the building
through which disbursements flowed
even more rapidly. 1t was the little
door III the Pine street side Of the
building, near which were lined up a
curious array of vehicles-at one mo-
ment D hanson cab, a coupe, four
automobiles. a grocer's delivery wag-
on and a motorcycle. Men with pro-
per certificates rushed into the build
ing and with short delay helped the at
tendants to carry bags and bundles to
the curb. Then into the tangle OF
traffic in the narrow downtown streets
went the currency conveyors, to dis
pute the right of way with troubled
truckmen.
All the time this extra work made
necessary by the stringency is going
on at the sub-treasury there is no res
pite from the regular business. Money
continues to pour in from the postof-
fee, the customs. the internal revenue
and other departments Of the Federal
government, and the paymasters check

other branches Of the government SER

Great Trade of the Future Across
Western Ocean.

Great Trade of the Future Across
Western Ocean:
II Is generally conceded, believe, by
the best and most far-sighted MINDS
that the greatest world trade Of the
future is to be across the Pacific, says
Success. For centuries trade centred
in the Mediterranean, with the result
that the largest and most important
cities Of that time were formed on the
shores Of southern Europe and north
ern Africa The discovery Of America
then a wilderness, centred trade later
in the Atlantic, and the most import
ant cities Of the world then grew up
on the shores Of western Europe and
eastern America. So the cities OF the
Pacific coast Of America in time will
probably be in proportion to the trade
across the Pacific, and the trade across
an ocean, other things being equal. Is
in proportion to the number OF people
who live along its borders.
Today the Pacific coast of the Unit
ed States has about one-twelfth as
many people as live along the Allan
tic seaboard; yet the shores Of the Pa
cific. are many times richer in natural
resources than are those Ut the At
lantic. There is hardly any compari-
son between the sterile hills OF New
England and the garden valleys OF
washington, Oregon and California.
California alone Is. broadly speaking
two thirds the size of France, and Is
easily capable of supporting 20,OOO,-
900 people. France supports 100000.
Along the lower half Of the western
seacoast, for hundreds Of miles, there
"a but one world harbor-San Fran
cisco. This fact alone insures to the
Golden Gate a city as large as Paris,
or even larger. 1t may be San Fran
cisco. or Oakland. or any other point
on the great bay; in large sense II
matters not what the local point or
name Is. or will be. The important
fact is that at the Golden Gate there
is to be an American city Of from two
to five million people. The growth OF
this city-or of any Of the other cities
on the Pacific coast-will not be sud
den. but it will be in exact proportion
to the pressure Of population In Ameri-
ca, the awakening of Asia-as Japan
has awakened-and the development
Of other Pacific shores.

FISHERMEN GET A DEER.
While tho Hunters Who Had Wounded
Il Stood Afar OF and Said Things.


II Stood Afar of and Said Things.
To 60 cunning for deer and catch
fisherman cursing and to go fishing for
salmon and catch a deer were the va
ried experiences Of two distinct classes
of sportsmen at Tennessee Cove, says
the San Francisco Chronicle. The two
conflicting parties at break OF day TOOK
their several ways, one expedition 60
ing on to the game preserve OF the
Tamalpais club and the other as pas
sengers on Sutherland's launch from
the Sausalito for a salmon fishing trip
up the coast.
The party of hunters gave chase TO
a fine. fat and feet-footed deer and
kept 1t up all over the preserve until
late in the afternoon. One Of the par
ty said that the deer could have been
killed at most any time," but that the
sportsmen preferred to prolong the
pleasure of the hunt until the hour had
arrived for returning home. The deer
became wounded in the course OF the
chase. In it's mad run across the pre-
serve II struck a. trail which led to the
big cliff fronting the water at Tennes-
see Cove. The hunters were In close
pursuit, and as the deer came near 10
the cliff IL dived into the water In
mad effort to escape it's pursuers ana
struck out for rock rising In the
water about 300 feet from shore.
The party Of fishermen happened
along on their return from Sausalito to
Bolinas bay just as the deer made lts
mad plunge. The launch was reversed
and headed for the swimming deer
When It came abreast the boat one
of the "sportsmen" therein landed with
an oar upon the deer's head and Killed
1t. The game was hauled aboard ana
the launch set out for Sausalito WIN
all possible dispatch.
The hunting party, which by this
time had gathered on the cliff, looked
on for q moment with chagrin. Then
one of the party commanded the fish
ermen to "come back with that deer.
The reply from the boat was, Not on
your life; we killed him and we are
going to keep him." The reply was
followed with oaths.
In an effort to restore the deer and
the honor Of the days hunt one of the
party on the cliff fired five shots in the
direction of the fleeing launch. The
bullets failed to reach their mark and
the deer hunters retired to the club
house.
