Letter WRITING Made Easy

'The picture postal card is not the
only factor that is reducing letter writ
ing to lost art" said the woman who
has many correspondents. 1.-THE news
paper clipping Is also a serious foe to
the well written letter. Almost every
day get heavy mail, and frequent
ly half the communications are made
up largely of clippings from the daily
press. Persons who, if obliged to do
their own writing, would express some
opinion on books. plays, clothes, vaca-
tons, clubs and current events can find
something on those very subjects in the
daily paper. So, instead of writing,
they simply cut out the article that
meets their needs. paste it on to sheet
of paper, say These are my senti-
ments, teo,' and thus expeditiously con-
duct their correspondence.

the same pernicious habit. Yesterday

that exactly expressed my meaning, so

Chicago, April differences be-
tween the western railroads and the
members of the Order of Railway
Conductors and of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen were finally ad-
justed today.
The men abandoned their demand
for a nine-hour working day, and the
railways made an advance over their
previous proposition in the pay of
baggagemen, flagmen and brakemen,
of $3.50 per month. The original de-
mands of the men were for an in
crease of twelve per cent and for a
working day of nine hours. The man
ayers offered an increase in pay of
ten per cent, and declined to grant
the nine-hour day.
The agreement was reached mainly
through the efforts of Chairman Knapp
of the interstate commerce commits
sion and Chairman Neill of the United
States labor commission. They form
ulated the final proposition on which
both sides were brought together, and
the final adjustment was chiefly due
to their labors. The new agreement
goes into effect from April LIST.

st. Petersburg, April 4.-The Asso-
ciated Press is authorized to give a
positive and categorical denial to the
various rumors that have been in cir
culation here and that have been tele-
graphed abroad that the cabinet had
decided to dissolve the lower house of
parliament
The correspondent learned that a
few of the reactionary members of the
cabinet maintain that the lower house
should be dissolved on any pretext,
but the matter has not been discussed
at any of the last three sessions of the
cabinet. The crucial moment, how
ever, is expected tomorrow, when a
vote will be taken on the constitution
al democratic motion to reject the
budget. There is democratic amend
ment to reject the budget totally and
the correspondent has been informed
that the passage of this amendment
will be regarded as a justification for
dissolution.

MIR. Cravath commended that the
Chicago &c Alton transaction had been
misunderstood by both The commission
and the public and he declared that
the proceeding there followed was not
unusual in financial transactions.
Mr.. Lovett also gave some attention
to the Chicago & Alton affairs con-
tending that the public had suffered
no loss on account of the method of
recapitalization:: With reference to
the Southern Pacific and the Union
Pacific roads he declared that they
were not competing lines, but argued
that even if they were, the transaction
had not been illegal because the
Southern Pacific had been purchased
outright by the Union Pacific, which
was not in contravention of the con-
stitution. %'.-.. e.. A-... 81. ..
Mr. Milburn said that general ap-
plication of the antitrust law to the
railroads of the country, as it was
proposed to apply it in the Southern
Pacific Union Pacific deal. would put
every system upon the defensive and
that most of them would have greater
difficulty than would the Union Pa
ciic system in meeting the attacks.

thorough examination of the author
titles whether or not he ought to take
further action in the way of an appli-
cation to the appellate division.

examining the law on the subject,
that Justice Fitzgerald had not COM
mitted legal error in refusing him
access to the commissions minutes,
