had taken into consideration the fact that the freight rates were to be raised when they complied with the three cent passenger tariff. The railroad passenger tariff officials answered that they had not considered the .reight question at ali. that their advances had been made with out any reference whatever to the freight rate advances.
 The commissioners then dis missed the conference, and after luncheon deliberated on the mat ter for about an hour. They then ordered the prohibitive or. der issued, arguing that fl the freight rates were found conf5 catory and, alone, would bring the railroads an increased and eXorbitant revenue, 1t was high iy unnecessary for the railroads % charge the new t6ree-cent passenger rato.

Now that the election is over, we may now spared some few things with which we have been regaled for the last few months.
 For instance, we are grateful that we shall have
 No more Hast appeals by the newspa- pers
 No more save the country from the candidates
 No more land you are another" be- tween lifelong friends.
 No more jumping onto Smith for bringing on the panic.
 No more jumping onto Jones for keeping it up.
 Husbands will once more walk to busi- ness together.
 Wives will once more gossip over the line fence.
 70 more grand rallies and "patriotic addresses"
 George Washington and Bunker Hill will get rest.
 So will the records of public men.
 So will the orators! ! exclamation points.
 So will 'the grand old flag"
 So will .he throats of the candidates. But it has been worth going through just to get over with it. Don't you think co0

Mrs. Oelrichs Declines sthe
 Directoire Gown

At least there is one woman of fashion who has strength of character enough to decline the fashion of the present day. and that is Mrs. Oelrichs, who is con- eeded to be one of the best dressed wo- men in Gotham's smartest set. A writer in one of the widely read New York pa pers, commenting on the subject, says:
 With every other woman dressed a la drectoire, it was a bit of a relief to see Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs on Firth avenue a few days ago in a gown severely tai lored and having it's waist line In na- lures accepted place. The made garments seem to display their girdles high up un- der the arms, and are certainly animated with no desire to fit.
 Mrs. Oelrichs' costume was of black cloth, two-piece suit cutaway jacket and skirt trimmed with black braid and her hat wa sof black felt. It had some shape and did not, like many of the au- tumns chapeaus, look like an inverted soup plate, or a porridge bowl with a brim to it."

MANILA HAS NEW
 WATER SYSTEM
PLANT WHICH COST s7,ooo, ,ooo AND THREE YEARS TO BUILD IS CON- PLETED-soURcE IS 20 MILES FROM THE CITY.

Manila, November 12.-Manila's new wa ter system, constructed during a period Of three years, at an outlay of s700o0oo is completed. The water was let loose to- day at the source of supply in the Mari quina valley and sent coursing on it's 2o- mile journey to the city. At the invita- lion of the municipal authorities Governor General Smith turned the wheels which operate the dam gates, and for the first time the mains in the city streets were filled from the new supply
 The water Is from the higher attitudes and Is carried part of the distance through steel pipe line and the remainder of the way in a concrete conduit. The conduit in some places crosses the streams on high bridges and in other localities tunnels beneath mountain ridges for considerable distances.
 The assurance of supply of pure wa ter for Manila is regarded as one of the greatest improvements made by the Amer leans during their occupancy of the Phil ippine islands

Furnace Dust

To the housewife this is an impor- tant season of the year, in many re- spects. Particularly is 1t of importance as far as the furnace is concerned. Many housewives wonder where the dust comes from and immediately jump at the conclusion that something is wrong with the furnace. And the con- clusion is frequently correct for in most cases it arises from the fact that the furnace is not provided with a dust damper, to carry the dust when the fire is shaken, up the chimney. 1n- stead much of this fine dust lodges in the pipes only to find an egress up- stairs at every opportunity. If the registers are the slightest bit worn, they will not shut tight In addition to closing the registers when the furnace is shaken, take the precaution of plac- ing newspapers over those registers which are in the floor. By doing this you will find less dust settling on the furniture.

To Build More Ships.

London, November 12.-Premier Asquith explained in the house of commons to- day what was meant by the two power standard of naval strength of Great Brit ain and his announcement brought out hearty cheers from all sides. Up to the present time MT. Asquith has been non committal concerning a radical definition of this standard which the government is pledged to maintain. The premier in- formed Arthur Lee, conservative member of the house that the government ac- cepted the two power standard as mean ing preponderance of 10 per cent over the combined strength in capital ships of the two next strongest naval powers. This statement is taken to confirm in naval circles that at least six and per- haps seven additional war ships of the Dreadnaught type will be provided for the next naval estimate.

St. Petersburg.

It is not known whether M. Hartwig will return to his post. More optimism was shown here today concerning the situa- tion in northern Persia. This does not now call for Russian intervention.

Cleaning With Benzine

While there are few more effective things used for cleaning than benzine there is alawys the discouraging part of 1t, for in nine cases out of ten a ring is left after the process is over. The spot in question usually comes out but all around it is a dark ring which is generally made by the difference be- tween the cleaned spot and the ma terial as it is. Instead of being dis couraged the next time this happens moisten the place again and apply a layer of gypsum. Put it between the edge of the ring and let it dry on the materials.

Keeping Ferns Fresh

It is said that ferns may be kept fresh by giving them a steaming of three hours. Once every week or so they should be put into the bathroom, shutting all windows and doors of the room to keep in the steam. The bath tub should then be filled with very hot water. It will give out a good steam. The room should not be cooled suddenly after this Is done.
 By treating the ferns to this bath 1t is not necessary to wash and spray the leaves, which does not give so satisfac- tory a result.
