It Has Gotten Another Negro Into
 Trouble.
 It takes time and money to steal, or buy and sell brass kettles. Several days ago one of those utensils was llched by a negro and in the Record CTS Court last week the principal in the episode received six months hard labor as a reward for the achievement.
 Will Watson. a negro, bought the kettle from the negro who stole 1t for 10 cents. and disposed of 1t for s5 cents. Tried in the Recorders Court yesterday afternoon on the charge of buying and selling stolen goods, he was fined S25 and thus lost by the deal something more than $24.
 VIII had brass enough before ha gained possession of the kettle but he did not know it. He has now learned tI,nt to exchange silver for the baser metal is a poor business. He declared that the next brass kettle tSat he held in his hand would be one that he man ufactured Will detests complicity in thefts-now.

The local police took him up. and fed him, clothed him and secured a position for him with Mrs. D. F. Wise. proprietress of the board ing house at Alabama and Franklin Streets.
 Ed worked and throve and grew. but his sensitive nature revolted at an oe- easional reprimand or scoldlnE.
 This morning, feeling unusually blue, he mounted to the top floor of the building and sprang out. Luckily he struck in soft sand and landed on his all fours.

A Tart Retort.

A good story is told Of a prominent
society woman at Newport whose name
cannot for obvious reasons be given
here.
1t appears that an extremely wealthy
matron who has not always enjoyed
her present social pre-eminence was
making certain supercilious references
as to young girl who had been pre-
sented by the lady first mentioned.
"By the way" languidly asked the
wealthy matron, who is your friend
Miss Blank?"
"A1iss Blank is charming girl" was
the smiling response. well bred, as
you see, accomplished. entertaining"
"Oh, yes, of course" continued the
other "but, my dear Mrs. So-and-so,
you know what mean-who is she?"

lady, Il can no more tell you who Miss
Blank is than l could have Informed

Ponpeii and Hercuianeum.

Pompeii was buried in ashes and was
easily disinterred, while Herculaneum
received the full force of the crimson
lava, which hardened rapidly to the
consistency Of marble and must be
quarried in order to reach the city be-
meath. Owing to this difficulty only a
small amount Of excavating has been
done in Herculaneum as compared
with that which has taken place at
Pompeii. In addition, another town
sprang up on the lava above Hercu-
laneum, which would have been en-
dangered by the undermining neces-
sary to exploration with pick and
shovel.-New York American.

LUNfBERMEN WIN VICTORY.
Entitled to Lower Rates Eastward
Than Coast.

Washington, d. c., June e.
Opinions rendered today by the In
terstate Commerce Commission in
five Northwestern lumber rate cases
are decidedly favorable to the lum-
bermen. While in no case did they
get all they asked for, most of their
requests were complied with, and in
no instance did the Commission sus-
tain the advances which the railroads
put into effect on November, 1907.
The advance of 10 cents on lum-
Der shipped from the Pacific Coast
to points east is completely knocked
out in territory west of the Missouri
River, and in eastern territory the
advance is reduced SO per cent or
more. The advance of 81 80 on ship
ments from Willamette Valley points
to San Francisco is practically wiped
out, only sufficient increase being al
lowed to offset the recent advance in
water rates from Portland to San
Francisco. The Inland Empire is re-
lieved from what the Commission
terms excessive and unreasonable
rates on lumber" fixed by the rail-
roads last fall, and is given scale
OF ulHerentlalS more 1aVOraDlo imam
the roads were willing to concede.
Along with these five cases, the
Commission temporarily opens the
Portland gateway to Western Wash
ington lumber consigned to Utah ter
ritOry, but declines to make rout
ing via Portland on Washington lum-
Der to any other points east of the
Cascade Mountains.
In all cases, the Commission stipu-
lates that the existing advanced rates
shall be discontinued ION or before
August Is, $685." and DEGREES that
the new rates and orders which go
into effect on that date shall continue
for two years thereafter. Except in
the Portland gateway case, however,
these new rulings are not intended
to be temporary, but under the law
the Commission cannot fix rates for
a longer period than two years. On
August Is, 1910, the railroads will
be at liberty again to raise their lum-
Der rates and, If such advance is
made, the lumbermen will find it
necessary again to appeal to the
Commission for relief.
