PULLMAN COMPANY ISSUES
 RATE SHEETS FOR SEATS

Agent F. G. Helriger. of the Pull man Company. Thursday morning re- ceived rate sheets comprising the To- cal Pullmi,a seat tariffs. The changes are radical, and while the rates to some of the stations out of Montgomery are Increased, others are made lower. By eoualizing things the public Is in the end benefited. T.,
 The most important change that IS made is a scale of prices put on Tor several local stations that have never been dignifed by having rates of their own before. For instance, if travel CT out of Montgomery wanted to go to some local station on the line of one of the different roads he wuld have to pay the full seat fare to a station several miles further on. Under the scale of prices sent to MT. Helriger yesterday morning. a passenger wanting Pun man seat to a local station does not have to pay for a number of additional miles that he does not use.

Plays Role of Democratic Counter Al
 tractor To Taft.

Louisville, Ky. Oct. 15-Before an audience that packed the Masonic Theatre Congressman Champ Clark of Missouri, tonight played the role of Democratic counter attraction to Judge Taft.
 Mir. Clark devoted his time to sharp shooting at the Republican platform and party record, turning loose fu- silade of sarcasms, epigrams and fun my stories.
 Mir. Clark asserted that nine-tenths of the voters he claimed were of the belief that too much money has been used in the past.
 "Yet the Republican candidate" said the speaker. mas been forced to put forth on his own authority, ptffiing imitation of Democratic publicity plank. Yet even this concession mere ly promises a lock on the stable door after the horse is stolen-publiclty af- ter elections
 Another issue which the people are determined to settle during this cam paign~ is the reforma ton of the cur irency On this the Republican Party in It's platform virtually stands pat as it does on the tariff. pointing to the VreeIand -Aldrich bill as the bright jewel in its legislative diadem."
 The responsibility for the recent panic. he caid, was charged by Harri- man and his fellow financiers to Pres ident Roosevelt On the other hand, he said. the President has blamed 1t on Hartman, that same Hartman who four years ago was Dear" Hartman. and who now Is damned" Hartman.

At the Maiestic.

Arcadia is ali that is accorded her for a name on the bill at the Majestic this week, but the little woman's voice and superb handling of her vio- lin make the name all sufficient. She is an arcadia of good music. Possess ed of a rich, clear soprano, Arcadia handles the most difficult classical mu- sic with an ease and grace that war rant her better things before long.
 But the best work is with the violin. Of course ner technique is not three classes above that of Paganini when he was at his best. but she gets more genuine music out of her instrument than any artist that has been in Mont Somery for some time. With a touch as light and delicate as the proper handling of the instrument demands, she still gets a quality in her se- lections that tells in no uncertain man ner of enthusia stic study coupled with natural ability and a deep love for the instrument.
 Geogria Gardner and Bill Friend are funny, and that is all there is to 1t. They give enc a good laugh. and have an act that makes you wish it was longer.
