Loading Freight by Cards.

From the Baltimore American.
 "I don't know whether the practice is still kept up in the far south, but re- member how tckled I was at seeing the method used s in loading goods into freight cars down in Mississippi some while ago." said c. c. Donaldson, rail- road man of St. Louis.
 "A lot of strappsng black fellows Will be on the job under the supervision of q white man, who will be issuing orders with great volubility. Put this aboard the king of diamonds take this to the ace of hearts; load this the ten of spades; this to the jack of clubs and so on. and then you'll notice each one of the long line of freight cars has tackled on it some one of the 52 cards composing a full deck.

Some of them came, and although they made the newspaper list look better they had disastrous ef- feet on the wedding. They lined up on one side of the room. with the sisters friends on the other, and the gulf be- tween them was so great that nobody could cross it. That was the last meet ing that will ever take place between those two contingents.

GOVERNMENT DETECTIVES
TRUSTED RAILWAY EMPLOYEES

Los Angeles, Feb. 22.-The proceed
ings pending against the Southern Pa
cific, Salt Lake and Santa Fe railway
companies in the federal courts here
are regarded by railway men as the
most serious move yet made by the
department of justice against dishon-
esty in railway management. The
reason for this is that the railway
managers and attorneys do not know
the full extent of the evidence against
them now in the hands of the United
States district attorney in this city and
San Francisco. They have just made
the discovery that for more than a
year past secret service officers have
been in the employ of the roads in
this city and San Francisco securing
evidence for the government.
These detectives have been in the
passenger and freight offices as trust
ed employees, and, more important than
all, there has been one in the auditors

OREGON LAW PROTECTING
WOMEN WORKERS UPHELD

Washington, Feb. 25.-That laun.
dries and other concerns employing
females in mechanical labor in Oregon
may not require female employees to
work more than ten hours a day in
compliance with the law enacted by
the legislature of that state in 1903
was proclaimed yesterday by the SUI
preme court of the United States in
the case of Curt Muller, laundryman
doing business in Portland VS.. the state
OF oregon. Muller attacked the law
as unconstitutional, claiming that it
puts limitation on the power of con-
tract The Oregon supreme court up-
neio the statute on the ground that it
is police regulation, and it's decision
was affirmed by the federal supreme
curt In It's ruling yesterday. The opin-
ION was by Justice Brewer.
Holding first that women's rights can
Dc no more infringed than those of
men, Justice Brewer went still further
ana held that on many accounts uror

SAID TO ALSO SETTLE
STANDARD OIL CASE

Washington, Feb. 25.-The conten-
ton of the Standard Oil Company as
to why it should not pay the $29, 24O,-
900 fine imposed upon it by Judge
Landis, who dealt a death-blow yes
terday. The United States supreme
court decided the Elkins law was not
repealed by the Hepburn act.
This important decision was handed
down in the case of the Great North
ern Railway Company, recently found
guilty and fined under the Ellkins law
for granting rebates to the w. p. Dew.
ereaux company Of Minneapolis.
Learned lawyers, grasping at every
technicality to save the giant oil trust
from paying the huge fine, pinned their
hopes to their contention that the
EIkins law was repealed by the Hep
burn act. Under provisions of the Tor
mer law, the trust was fined.
Now that. The highest court ia the
land has decided against them, the
Standard OIL attorneys have been left
high and dry. their best contention
gone.
