been barely saved from %plunging
through a bridge weakened by the

when her husband continued To re-

the woman got up, dressed herself and
went out 10 look at the bridge. Her
worst fears were realized. There She
saw that the entire center pier of tha

The Interstate Commerce Commits sion has just handled the first case in which it assumes the perogative granted it by tie new rate law of controlling the express companies. Express charges in the United States are one of the most onerous exactions under which the people suffer. Here tofore there has been no way of reaching them legally for they were not affected by any law and could charge what they pleased. The present case is not far reaching. It deals only with the case of cut flowers sent from the surrounding country to New York city. The express company without warning and without im- proving the service. doubled the tariff. When brought to book for their action, their defense was re- markable. They explained that un- der their contract with the railroads, they had to pay the railroad company forty-five per cent of their gross re- ceipts. They wanted more for the flower service than they had been getting, but they had to raise the tariff more than they otherwise would because so much of the in- crease went to the railroads. It is to be noted with some satisfaction that they were compelled to promptly put the tariff back at what it was before the raise.
