THE PoUGHKEEpsIE ROUTE.
New Haven Read Makes Favorable
 Terms.

New Haven, Oct 3.-It is ascer- tain that the recent contest between the New York, New Haven & Hart ford railroad on the one hand, and the Reading and New Jersey Central railroad companies on the other, in- volving the transfer of feright busi- ness around New York city, was ad- justed on terms very favQable to the New Haven company.
 By the compromise adjustment coal and westward freight of the New Jersey Central and Reading compa- nies is transferred to the Poughkeep- sic bridge system and will enter New England by that route. On the other hand, the southward freight as far as Baltimore and Washington, includ- ing local business, and the fruit busi- ness goes by the former route around New York city. As a result, about 60 per cent of all the New England railroad business originating on the New Jersey Central and Reading sys- tens, goes by way of the Poughkeep- sic bridge, while 40 per cent goes around New York as before.
 The New Haven company thus se- cures about hundred carloads a day on its long haul by way of the Poughkeepsie bridge, where there was little or no business of the kind under the old freight arrangement The original contest over the question, it will be recalled, was taken before the interstate commerce commission.

DANCY AND LILLEY
Addressed While sud Colored
 RspubIIcsps si City Ball.

The Colored Republican club. a branch of the Young Mems Republi- can club, held rally in City hall last evening. There was mixed gathering of about 200. The princi- pal speaker of the evening was John c. Dancy of Washington. D. C., keep CT of deeds in the District of Colum- bia.. Mir Dancy's address in part, especially when he was talking of MT Taft and Mir Bryan, was so sim liar to Congressman Hills that a person who heard them both would almost swear they came from the same pen. None of the issues of the campaign were discussed, It was pretty much 'taffy" al, evening.
 James E. Kefford. secretary of the Negro Business league, presided. J.. L. Halle, president of the Colored Republican club, was the first speak. CT, and after him came Congressman Lilley.
 MT Lilley was brief, but while speaking told the colored voters the dire things that would happen should MT Bryan be elected and the house go democratic. He pictured to them idle factories (they have been very busy the past year), and of the calamity that would follow his cleo tion. MT Lilley while speaking did not say word about the submarine scandal nor did he even mention the Brownsville freeze-out.
 M. J. Byrne, candidate for judge of probate, was also present and said a lot of nice things about the candi- date for governor. He referred to his run for representative against MT Lilley saying: "At that time was foolish enough to make a campaign against MT Lilley. l got showed under"
 MT Dancy spoke principally on slavery, the civil war and"My Poli- cies" opinion of MT Taft He is a good speaker and his address was interesting to the audience.

SENIOR BANQUET A DISGRACE.
Sharp Words From Cornell's Presi.
 dent on Class Dinner.

Ithaca, Oct 2.--In his formal ad. dress to Cornell students yesterday at the opening of the university, Pres!- dent Jacob Gould Schurman made plea for puriflcation of the moral atmosphere of student life and stren. uously attacked the drink habit.
 By noon yesterday 1,194 students had been enrolled indicating the lar gest attendance this year in the his tory of the university. The freshman class alone will exceed 1000. The increase in attendance over the cor responding time last year is 34S. The president said among other things:
 The senior class of last year made of it's banquet spectacle which was disgrace to the uniyer- sity. I appeal to all seniors before me now to see that such thing does not occur this year. The senior ban quet must be either mended or end- ed. l have in my possession letter after letter from parents and organi- zations telling of the horror with which they have read of such orgies. ytrembe 10 think of the temptations to the men entering here for the first time. I believe that the vast majority of men entering this uni versity improve and do not deterior- ate, but nevertheless drunkenness does exist'
 President Schurman also spoke of the tendencies which were noticeable last year, the students using Sunday as day for appointments for the dis cussion of athletic and social mat ters. He said:
 "The observance of Sunday is the temporal sign that man belongs not only to time but to eternity. I ear- nestly hope that Sunday may be ob- served as day of physical rest and spiritual meditation"
 President Schurman called atten- tion to the dangers of fraternity life leading to building up of cliques and the killing of the democratic spirit of Cornell, and he said: Tn heavens name, gentlemen, let us not have any artificial lines.''

GIRL IS MISSING
NoihIng Heard SIuce Sbe Leli
 New York Steamship Dock.

A singular case of mysterious dis appearance was brought to the at tention of Superintendent of Police Beach this morning. Charles Knick- erbocker of 975 South Main stret re- ported to the superintendent that his cousin. Miss Elizabeth Leahey, tele- graphed him from New York Thurs day that she had arrived from lre- land and to meet her at the railroad station in Waterbury. Knickerbock- CT was at the station at the time stated in the telegram. but the girl did not arrive. He waited for tho next train and still the next and every train following that day, and still she did not arrive. and wonder ing what could have befallen her he went home.
 Knickerbocker started an inquiry and ascertained that the young wo- man came over in the intermediate cabin and that she had a good deal of money He found also that she left the steamship dock in time to catch the train for Waterbury which would arrive here at the time stated in her telegram to Knickerbocker. He did not learn, however, in what way she left the dock, whether in a hack or If she walked to the L sta tion not far distant and came on the l. road to Grand Central depot. After leaving the dock she seems to have dropped out of sight.
 Knickerbocker started for New York this morning with letter to police headquarters there from Su. perintendent Beach. He had with him a photograph taken of the young woman few years ago in Ireland. She is about 20 years of age and she was informed of the pitfalls she was liable to encounter in New York being stranger in the country.

NEGRO SUES DOCTOR.

Asks $1,000 for Alleged Damage to
His Complexion.
The proprietor of a State street
beauty parlor is being sued for $1,000
damages by John Ingraham, a negro,
whose complexion has undergone a
change that is unsatisfactory to him
since he went there to have it i'm
proved.
Graham had an attack of smallpox
in his youth and the pits it left wor-
ried hirn.
His torment kept him at home, and,
Of course, he read much. In the course
of his literary pursuits he heard Of
Hetty Green having her face worked
over His mind was made up in a
minute. 1t was he to the beauty par
lors.
His contract, Graham sets forth in
his suit, was that the pits should be
removed for the sum of $40. 1t was
worth the money, he thought. Ora
ham submitted to the operation. Then
he blossomed forth freed from all
marks and about the happiest man in
his neighborhood.
His joy was short-lived. One morn
ing he was Mortified to find his face
was becoming spotted Near where
each pit had been there was a dark
yellow blotch about the size of a quar-
ter. The second day the spots turned
| lighter Graham with three different
shades, was the saddest man in the
block. They did not go away either
The shades still show on his face

with its messages and electric needles
is wholly to blame. The suit was be

LITERARY NOTES.

Within the next two weeks The
Orion Publishing Company of Nash
vile, Tenn, will issue a new book
from the pen of Sutton e. Griggs,
already known to the reading public
as the author of "Imperium in Impe-
rio" "Overshadowed," "Unfettered,"
THE Hindered Hand" and "The One
Great Question" the more notable of
his works.
The title of the forthcoming book is
Pointing the Way" 1t + written in
story form, and the plot IS said to be
one of the most unique that has ever
appeared in American literature.
The general aim of the book is to
point the way for the solution of the
race question at its most acute point,
the questiohNof suffrage al the South.
But wrapped about this question is
a story of general human interest.
Having ripened with years, it is
now confidently expected that Mr..
Griggs will more than ever challenge
the attention of the best thought of
the nation.
AS an indication of the impression
MI Griggs has already made on the
thinking public we cite the following
comments concerning him:
'He is undoubtedly a man of keen
brain, determined optimism, true
spirit Chicago Record Herald.
lie is without doubt one of the
brightest and most thoughtful young
men of his race. Rev. =. B. Guern
sey, A. NJ, eX-President of Roger
Williams University.
Il regard Mr.. Griggs as ont of the
best informed men of my acquaint
ance in respect of the problem of the
Negro His thorough a Acquaintance
with the facts involved and the re
narkable gift of getting at the phi
lOsophy underlying the situation make
him an authority in the solution o
this yeXed and vital problem of GU
line. Rev. j. G. Merrill, D. D., Pres
ident of Fisk University.
