Chicago, Sept. 29.-Idle freight cars
are steadily decreasing in number. The
next statement of the car efficiency
committee of the American Railway
association will show that the number
of these idle cars has been reduced
within the last two weeks by 10000.
At present there are about 100000 in
the country, but this is 100000 less
than the number of cars idle when the
depression was most severely felt in
the realm of traffic. The number OF
idle cars has decreased 5000 within
the present month.

FEDERAL COURTS
BOY PRISONERS

For the purpose of acting in the mat
sentence juvenile offenders to the Boys
Industrial School, the Board of Educa-
ton yesterday morning held meeting
at which the following opinion of the
Attorney General was read:
In the absence of any express pro-
hibition in the statute, there appears
to be no reason why you should not
accept offenders SO convicted under
eighteen years of age, upon making sat-
isfactory arrangements for their sup
port while at such schools, including
also the cost of transportation. BY so
doing the department assumes no re-
sponsibility for the legality of such
confinements. The procedure to be fol-
lowed in any case would be similar to
that now used in case Of commitments
from the Territorial courts
The board adopted the following:
Resolved, That the superintendent of
the Boys Industrial School be author
lied to receive all Federal prisoners of
ages within the rules of said school
and sentenced to imprisonment there
and to guard and maintain such pris-
oners in accordance with the rules Of
this institution, at the rate for each
prisoner of fifty cents per day.
Resolved further, That a copy of this
resolution be forwarded to the u. S.
Marshal for the District of Hawaii,
and that upon receipt by the superin-
tendent of the school of the acceptance
of the terms hereof, contract in ac-
cordance herewith shall be considered
as entered into.

REMORSE DRIVES
All kIU To DEATH
Commits Suicide When She
Realizes Enormity of
Her Actions.

| All Kiu, a Chinese woman about
forty-five years of age, was found
dead in her home in Palolo yester-
! day morning with all the circum-
|. stances pointing to suicide from Opt
UNI poisoning.
1t seems almost certain that All Kiu
committed suicide from remorse, and
to escape the disgrace which she fear
ed would fall on her because of her
connection with an affair which the
police have been investigating
All Fung, a. Chinese girl Is years
of age, applied at the police station
last Wednesday to be sent to the SAL
walton Army Rescue Home, to escape
her fathers beatings, she told Chief
Taylor. The Chief in investigating the
matter found from her father that she
had frequently played truant from
school and he feared that all was not
right with her. Finally the girl con-
fessed to Chief Taylor that she had
suffered at the hands of Chen zee,
a Chinese pig rancher at Moiliili. All
Kiu had harbored them both. Chen
zee was brought in to the police sta
ton and he finally confessed his guilt.
All Kiu was sent for and she finally
admitted her completely which she
said had been an ignorant one. She
was told that she would have to be
witness for the prosecution. Her
husband upbraided her severely for
her part in the matter, and her death
by suicide was the next development
in the matter
Chen Wee was yesterday formally
charged by the police with a serious
offence.

Broadly speaking, the best style of
table linen for formal luncheon is
4 centerpieee and individual doilies.
Nevertheless, this cannot be laid
down as hard and fast rule, because
SO beautiful are covers made, espe-
cially for luncheon use, that not to
have them is pity. Unless, however,
the cover is especially for such pur-
pose it must not be used. That is to
say, dinner cloth, no matter how
simple or how magnificent, can never
| be substituted for luncheon.
To mistake the two is impossible,
for luncheon cover is either circular,
being rarely II ever larger than the
table itself, or else it is quite square,
with only the four corners hanging a
trifle over the edge of the mahogany
or oak
When the size Of the table inter-
feres, individual doilies, of course, are
omitted, but when, as is often the
case, the circle is only large enough
to cover the middle of the table doilies
become essential There are those for
plates, two sizes for goblets, those for
7water and wine, others for bread and
| butter dish, should it be used, and still
others for finger bowl. They are du-
plicates in miniature of the center
pieces, and servietttes of course match
perfectly.
AS filet lace has taken such hold
upon popularity that for the present it
supersedes all others, SO is it desirable
in table linen. 1t is to be found
square, joined with linen squares, in
long bands or circular. No matter
how the design may be worked, how
ever, when for the table there is al
ways some linen in combination. The
doilies alone may be entirely of lace.
Square covers are more apt to be
seen in alternating bands of both ma
terials manufacturers saying that 1t is
almost impossible to have circular de-
signs properly done up after they have
become soiled. Serviettes for such a
cover show no lace whatever. A color
may or may not be put beneath the

THE STORY.

GeXXT HAT! Thou hast seen Elijah
w and hast let him get quite
away AGAIN." and the shrill voice of
Jezebel with rising infection and add
ed intensity with every word plainly
indicated the establishment, indigna-
ton, scorn and contempt which surged
over her. King Ahab in confusion
struggled to make answer, but he had
only spoken a few faltering words
when Jezebel broke out again:
Here thou hast been seeking for
thy enemy and the enemy Of thy peo-
pie for the past three years, and when
the gods give him into thy hands thou
lettest him get quite away again!"
"But it was not the gods that gave
him into my hands" Ahab protested,
'for he came boldly to meet me, say
ing his God had sent him"
His Cod" scornfully repeated Jez-
ebel. What god is there beside the
god Baal whom we Worship"
"And he has asked that ali the
prophets of Baal and the prophets of
the groves who eat at thy table shall
meet him on Mount Carmel" Ahab
continued, without answering Jeze-
bells question.
''Thou fool!" shrieked JeZebel, let
ting her passion quite get the better
of her and so distorting her face that
she seemed more demon than woman.
''Thinkest thou that he will meet
them there? Surely, he seeketh only
to put thee to further confusion and
shame. The dirty dog, the vile hypo-
critic, dare not show his face before
the prophets of Baal."
"But Obadiah declareth that there
is no doubt but that Elijah will
be on Mount Carmel at the ap-
pointed time," protested Ahab.
"And what reason hath Obadiah for
supposing anything?" contemptuous-
" demanded Jezebel. "Verily, 1 be-
lieve sometimes that it is he who
has kept Elijah hidden from my
wrath during all these years."
Thou speakest unjustly," protested
Ahab, 'tfor the king hath no more
faithful servant than this man Oba-
diah."
"But somebody who is close to thee
and hath known of thy plans must
have kept the prophet warned, else
could he not have escaped our search
all these years. And who but Obadiah
could do this thing?"
"And it was Obadiah who first
brought me word to-day that the
prophet Elijah was in the land and
close at hand" reluctantly admitted
Ahab, as he recalled how Obadiah had
sent him to meet the prophet that
day.
'Ho, no! AS might have been ex-
pected, and yet thou needest to be told
what ought to be plain enough to thee.
And now thou art foolish enough to
believe that the prophet will keep his
word. He hath but slipped through

WARNINGS FOR FLAT HUNTERS.
Tenants of Building Get Even with
Misery Agent.

There is an apartment house In
The Bronx whose agents idea Of thrift
and economy is ''spend not penny
today that can be saved until to-mor-
row." He buys but one load Of coal
at a time for this apartment house,
and never orders second load until
the first is all gone. Then it takes the
coal dealer IL to "a hours to deliver.
Meantime the tenants burn gas and
shiver. The agent also instructs tine
janitor to be extremely saving in the
use of coal, in the furnace and in the
boiler. The result is that some days
the so-called hot water is only warm
and on other days 1t Is entirely cold.
The tenants have grown tired Of this
routine and several OF them have
moved out since the winter set in.
Others are posting notices in the hall
for the benefit of fat hunters. Two
samples are as follows:
"No; we don't furnish hot and cold
water. We furnish two kinds of cold
water"
six days in the week shalt thou
have steam heat, and on the seventh
day thou shalt burn gas or freeze, as
p1easeth thee most. New York
