IS NOT HOSTILE
TO RAILROADS
SOUTH WANTS TO TREAT THEM
FAIRLY SAYS PRESIDENT
FINLEY.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-That the
South is not hostile to railroads Is
one Of the declarations appearing in
President w. w. Finley's statement
to the stockholders of the Southern
railway, a portion of the report OF
which for the year ending June 30 last
has just been made public.
In fact President Finley says there
lis a growing feeling among shippers
and travellers in that part of the coun-
try in favor Of a reasonable treatment
of railroad enterprises. The state
ment then cites as an indication of the
rapid industrial expansion of the South
that last year no fewer than $50 new
plants of various sorts were installed
along the Southern railways lines;
that the capacity OF many older plants
were enlarged.
OF the disputed new rates put in
force in the South, pending determine
ton of the case involved by the Uni
ted States Supreme Court, Mr.. Finley
says:
"The board has considered It es-
sentlal not only in the interest Of the
owners Of property, but in the inter-
est of the public, whose interest Is
that the railroads shall not be de-
nrived M the means of providinR ade-
quate facilities for the commerce Of
the country, that the issues raised by
the action OF these States whether in
vestments in railroad properties are
entitled to the same measure OF pro-
lection as other property and whether
they can be deprived by any form Of
state action OF the effective protection
OF the Constitution OF the United
States shall be finally settled with the
least possible delay

NEBRAsKAN is STRONG.
Outlines Platform Upon Which Dem.
ocrats Will Make Campaign
Next Year.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Represen-
! tative Edward W. Pou, of the Fourth
North Carolina District, takes more
cheerful view of the prospect for the
Democratic party in the next Presi-
dental campaign than do most of his
party associates in the House. And
Mr.. Pou is a Bryan man, too. He be-
lieves that the Nebraskan will receive
the nomination and stand good
chance of election.
The following is what Mr.. Pou, in
a talk with newspaper men here, gave
today as, in his judgment. the kind OF
platform that should be made for Mr..
Bryan and the party at the National
Convention:
"First-A revision Of the tariff, and
a reduction of those schedules par.
ticularly which protect monopoly and
enable monopoly to discriminate
against Americans by selling cheaper

"Second-Such amendments to our
present impotent railroad rate law as
may be necessary absolutely to pre-

carriers engaged in interstate com

"Third-A continuation of the policy
Of strengthening our navy, Inaugural
ted by Mr.. Cleveland, until our navy
is great enough and strong enough to
protect American trade in every quar-
ter of the globe.
"Fourth-The deepening, not only OF
our harbors. but of our inland streams,

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 1S.-A
party of negroes barricaded them
selves in a downtown house tonight
and started small riot One police
man was killed, several were wounded,
and it is reported that four negroes
were killed
The trouble started in front of the
Second German Presbyterian Church
at Claiborne and Annette streets dur
ing services tonight, when several
negroes became boisterous. Patrol
man Campbell, who attempted to ar
rest them, was killed. The negroes
ran to nearby house, which they
barricaded. With shotguns. revolvers
and razors they awaited the police, a
few of whom gathered quickly and
stormed the house. Sergt. Wheatley
was mortaIly wounded and Patrick
Wenck and Corporal J. A. Dunn re-
ceived serious wounds.
The riot ended after an hour and
half seige of the house by the police.
The officers routed the negroes by
burning them out, mortally wounding
one and arresting i've others.
A company of local militia, which
happened to be drilling in front of
police headquarters when the fighting
was reported, volunteered for service
and were rushed to the scene Of the

which was supposed to have been full
ly settled by President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft, when they gave the
order for the beginning of work on the
lock canal plant.
The fact is that when Congress was
so warmly discussing the two projects
about two years ago the sea level ca
nal advocates made the point that
theirs was the only plant that would
have sufficient elasticity to meet the
needs Of the rapidly increasing ton
mage in marine construction. Their
plan involved the use of but one lock
merely to offset the todal difference
between the eastern and western seas,
a comparatively low and Insignificant
lock which could be easily widened
when required. But they made
strong point of the difficulty, and es-
pecially the loss of time, in the use OF
the canal that would follow an at
tempt to widen the complicated and
massive locks required for the high
level canal
Possibly foreseeing the force of that
argument, the Canal Commission ap-
parently feels that it would be wise
to make the locks of the canal wide
enough in the beginning to accommo-
date the giant ships, not onlp Of the
Navy, but of the merchant marine,
that are sure to be constructed in the
near future.

Shirt Waist Boxes.

Very frequently shirt waist boxes
may be bought at reduced prices in the
shops, owing perhaps to the coverings,
which do not always suit the taste of
the purchaser or harmonic in tone
with the furnishings of the room for
which they are desired. These boxes
are very useful not only for shirt
waists, but for children's short clothes
and shoes, and are often used for patch
boxes. They can be easily reupholster-
ed and made more fanciful with little
trouble. One seen recently had a box
plated founce or valance around the
box of a dainty patterned c%retonne,
and the lid was covered smoothly with
the same. The inner lining was of
self colored chintz corresponding with
the dominant shade in the c%retonne.
Sometimes rollers or casters are used
to give more height to the box when
1t Is to be used as a seat. In this
capacity 1t is well to stuff the lid with
hair or cotton, and the edges may be
finished with a narrow furniture gimp.

THE LITTLE WOMAN.
Exercise and Tricks of Dress That VIII
Make Her Seem Taller.

The woman who wants to seem tall
er must see how slender she can De-
The thinner she is the taller b Will
look, other things being equal. But
there are things she must do.
These are the things to be learned
First, to hold up your head; second, TO
dress In long skirts, and, third, to dress
your neck longer and wear the hair as
high as possible. You must wear your
gowns broader on the shoulders n
must dress wider, so to speak. Little
women make a mistake If they e
tight fitting shoulders and long, thin
sleeves. They only make themselves
look wizened.
The following is a good exercise to
practice: Lift the arms. Then stoop
and rest on the right knee. Rising, re-
verse the motion and rest on the otner
knee. Then run down the room, jump
ing from foot to foot. Then come back,
still Jumping and this time lifting the
feet as though you were skipping. The
final movement is to toss the arms up
ward and bend backward.
There is a reason for all things, and
the reason why these exercises make
the little woman taller is that they
make her supple. She grows mucI
more timber, and if you are limber vol
will seem to be taller than you reali,
are. The little 1.-THE woman who cal
skip about if necessary is much tallel
in appearance than the little stiff wo
wan who cannot jump about to saw
her life and must walk as though sh'
were in a wise.

Animals at Play.

Animals have a keen sense of "mak-
ing believe" which is the essence of
play. A child's first game is bopeep-
make believe. When a couple of dogs
have a jolly tussle they make believe
to engage In deadly combat. A strlk-
ing instance of this occurred to a writ
er some years back. He gave a dead
mouse to a kitten. 1t was the first
time she had seen one, and she shifted
NJ it inquisitively before deciding to
toss it about. A pair of slippers lay
on the floor. She dropped the mouse
into one of them and Immediately pro
ceeded to look for it most z~ealously in
the other slipper till l took up the
first, which contained her booty. Then
she showed that it was no real lack Of
memory that had sent her on the boot

something About This Peculiar River
In the Ocean.
There Is a river in the ocean. In
the severest droughts 1t lever fails,
and in the mightiest floods 1t never
overf1ows. It's banks and its bottom
are of cold water, while its current is
of warm. The gulf of Mexico is its
fountain, and its mouth in in the Arctic
seas. 1t Is the gulf stream. There Is
In the world no other such majestic
flow of waters. Its current Is more
rapid than the Mississippi or the Am
azon and its volume more than a thou
sand times greater.
1t Is believed that the warm waters
of the gulf stream are nowhere permit
ted in the oceanic economy to touch the
bottom of the sea. There is every
where a cushion of cool water be-
tween them and the solid parts of the
earth's crust.
Now, cold water Is n of the best
nonconductors of heat, but If the gulf
stream were sem across the Atlantic
in contact with the solid crust of the
earth, comparatively a good conductor
of heat, instead of being SEM across as
it is, in contact with a nonconducting
cushion Of cool water to feed 1t from
the bottom, all it's heat would be lost
in the first part of the way, and the
soft climate of France and England
would be as that of Labrador, severe

SICK PARTNER TO GET HIS SHARE
Court C0mpelS Merchant TO Give
Accounting of Business

Trenton, March 9.-Walter Crosse, of
Holly Beach, after spending two years
i'll an asylum, has recovered and by
means of a decree of the Court ofChan-
Gerry has compelled his former business
partner, John B. Lopez, to account to
him for the business that was done in
a meat and vegetable store during the
time that he was confined in the insti-
tuition. Lopez is also compelled to
make over to the partnership as trustee
the deeds for certain real estate which
he purchased from the firm.
When Crosse was discharged from
the asylum as cured in 1905 he found
that Lopez had held a public sale ofthe
real estate of the partnership and had
bought it himself for S1430. Crosse de-
clares that it was worth at least $4,000.
Furthermore, he was unable to obtain
from Lopez an accounting of the BUSH
ness that was transacted while he was
absent.
Vice Chancellor Leaning heard the
case, and in his opinion grants both
petitions made by Crosse. The Vice
Chancellor says that Lopez owed a le-
gal duty to his absent partner, and this
duty was clearly inconsistent with his
interests as a purchaser of the real es-
tate belonging to the partnership. The
decree, orders that the property be sold
by a special master and that the prop
er allo wances be made to Loper.-Phil-

Now say to the spectators-for we
are assuming that you are performing
the trick for the amusement of a COM
pany-that you will make one Of them
or all of them, one at a time, see the

OF course they will laugh at you and
say that what you propose Is absurd,
for how can the picture of q bird move
and enter the picture of a cage? Let
us tell you how.
The accompanying Illustration shows
how the pictures should be drawn.
Perhaps it might be as well for you to
copy it. Now take an ordinary VISIT
ing card and, holding it between your
thumb and your finger. let 1t touch the
paper on the line between the cage
and the bird. Place yourself opposite
TO the light, whether from a window or
a gas Jet, so that the card will not
throw a shadow, and then press your
nose against the edge of the card and
look at the two pictures.
Thus you will see the bird with your
right eye and the cage with your left,
and for an instant they will both seem
stationary. Then all at once the bird
will appear to move toward the cage
and finally to enter 1t, just as If 1t had
life and had gone in through a door.

As at the time of the signing of the
Declaration of Independence the issue
of the Revolutionary struggle was still
doubtful, all those who signed it risk
ed both their lives and property. One
of the signers, named Charles Carroll,
was very wealthy, and after he had
affixed his name one of the others
said, There go many millions"
"Oh, no." rejolned another, "for

Handkerchiefs.

To keep handkerchiefs a good color,
Instead of damping them in the usual
way before ironing, proceed as follows:
Put two quarts of tepid water, with
FIVE drops of blue and a small piece of
lump starch, into a basin, and into this
mixture dip each handkerchief sep
arately, thoroughly wetting 1t, then
squeezing it as dry as possible. When
all the handkerchiefs have been treat
ed in this way spread them out smooth
ly on a clean cloth or towel until they
can be ironed.
