The interstate commerce commission
expects soon to hold a hearing In a case

Department of Justice in regard to en-
forcing the laws requiring equal accom-
mediation for colored and white passen-
gers. The case is that of five bishops of
the African Methodist Episcopal Church
against four large railroads Of the south
and the Pullman Company Inferior &C
cofnmodations for passengers of the At
rican race, the refusal of sleeping car
and dining car facilities and other alleged
tons constitute the grounds for
the complaint.

ENDURANCE OF RICKsHAw MEN.

They Haul Passengers Forty Miles
in Six Hours.
The feats of which the Japanese
rickshawmen are capable are almost
incredible, says writer in the Lon
don Mail. remember some years ago
being driven ashore in a yacht in the
Inland sea during a typhOon. 1t was
far beyond the treaty limits which then
existed and foreigners were not al
lowed to travel outside those limits
without special passports. But the
mayor Of the nearest fishing village
was kindness itself. He promised to
supply the best rickshawmen which the
neighborhood could produce, so as to
take us to a railway station some forty
miles away. And he kept his word,
for the distance was covered In less
than six hours, including a halt for
refreshments.
Each rickshaw was drawn by two
men, tandemwise, the usual fashion
when long distances have to be COW
cred. The leaders in each went
through the whole distance, while the
wheelers so to speak, were changed
half way The road was over a great
part Of the distance little better than
a mountain track, and it was raining
most Of the time, but there was never
a break in our progress except to allow
the coolies to take off or put on their
clothes. They prefer running in moth
ing but a loincloth, and do so whenever
they get safely beyond the eye Of the
police, who have orders strictly to adj
minister the law against such practice.
The fare paid for this prolonged
journey was, if 1 remember rightly,
about 8 shillings for each rickshaw,
the extra shilling being a gratuity
thrown in for good service. I know
that it purchased so many blessings on
my honorable head as cannot yet be
quite exhausted And having made our
farewells at the railway station, the
coolies started back at once for their
own village.

INITIATED ON THE CURB.

Terderfoot Begins His Brokerage
Career with an Exciting Session.
Isaac Siegel, who left his large prac-
flee to become a Wall street broker,
will in all probability remember his
first day on the curb as one OF the most
exciting in his career. He Will also
remember International Mining stock,
a phantom issue organized for his en-
lightenment and as a species of 1n1t1a-
ton to the curb.
For two hours Mr.. Siegel traded In
international Mining stock with all the
enthusiasm that only youthful Votary
at the shrine Of finance can exhibit.
He. got some of the brokers short or
the stock. and so mixed matters that
a veritable corner was precipitated In
the phantom issue, and at one stage OF
the speculation stood to win $1OO,OOO.
While all this was going on he was
surrounded by a bowling mob of bro
kers, apparently panic-stricken, dealing
in huge quantities Of the stock, the
nrice moving upward and then decl1n-
ing with frightful rapidity. His hat
was smashed, his collar spattered with
mud, his clothing and hair disheveled,
but he stood forth valiantly, thorough
" believing that he was the most i'm
norfant man in Wall street
Not for a moment in the terrifying
two hours of excitement that he en-
dured did he realize that he was being
made the butt of the entire curb mar
ket. Newsboys sold him international
Mining stock and he bought 1t. Even
cab drivers and the sinlzer and pie men
Joined in the fun, and bought 1nterna-
tional Mining from the enthusiast.
From one side of Broad street to the
other the crowd jostled him, yelling
and bowling like Apaches for Interna-
tional Mining.
When finally a kind relative took him
nv the neck and showed him out Of the
center of the crowd and explained mat
ters to him he looked like a man re-
covering from a six weeks attack of
typhoid fever.-New York Dispatch to
