OF the poor fellow who died on the rock
in the very sight of the woman he
loved, That. she know, might be her
fate, too. only she had loved no one
and no one was sailing by. She glanced
at the pages before her as they ratified

of Scott and not of Hugo.

And they tried.
Miss Peciiham hurried the wet girl TO
the hotel and dried the hair and gave
her niece dry clothes. She forget the
rescuer and did not even mention him
by name to her brother in the letter she
wrote that night. But Stella remem-

explained. Archibald Brinkley was not

was paying his board at the hotel by

porter In a surly tone, Can't you see

The American after drawing in his

Now, that was a piece OF discour-

answered me with polished politeness.'
The Englishman smiled.

TO FIGHT HIGHER RATES.

Chicago, July "a. That the business
men of the country do not intend to
submit to an increase in freight rates
without a fight was made evident today
when number of representatives of
the manufacturing and commercial in
terests of the union met in this city
to confer in regard to the recent action
of the Southwestern Freight associa
ton in filing with the interstate com
merce commission new freight rate
tariff calling for a general advance in
joint freight rates for Texas of ap-
proximately per cent
The parties TO the conference were
the members of the committee Of eigh-
teen appointed at the May conference
of manufacturers and shippers. The
organizations represented by the COM
mittee include the National Hardwood
Lumber association National League of
Commission Merchants, National In
dustrial Traffic League, Illinois Manu-
facturers association. American Ship
pers' association, Iowa State Manu-
facturers association. National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers. National As
ISOLATION of Agricultural Implements
and Vehicle Manufacturers, National
Wholesale Lumber Dealers association
and the Manufacturers association of
New York.
While the organizations named and
a number of additional ones are as
sembling forces to oppose any increase
in rates. the fact has developed that
the manufacturing and commercial in
terests do not all agree on the inadvisa-
bility of the proposed increase. This
has complicated the situation and 1t is
expected the situation and is expected
to prove of advantage to the railroads
in the contest. The metal and allied
industries, it is understood, do not OBJ
ject to the contemplated increase in the
freight rates Many shippers in the
south. 1t is also understood, will sub
nit to the proposed increase of rates
by the southern roads without much
opposition. provided there is no dis
elimination in the new rates.

SIX YEARS IN JAIL.

Kansas City. Mo. July 24.-John NJ.
speyer. today completed six consecu-
tive years of imprisonment in the
jackson county jail and he lie believed
TO be the oldest Jail prisoner in the
West. If not in the entire country. He
has been convicted three times of the
murder of his son and twice has been
sentenced to death. An appeal each
time has served to stay the execution
of the verdict and has likewise pre-
vented him from being transferred to
the State penitentiary. He is now
awaiting a fourth trial in his case and
it will probably be well along toward
his seventh year in Jail before his case
is finally disposed of.
Speyer is changed man since his
long imprisonment. He has seen sew
eral changes in the Jail administration
during his long term of six years and
has witnessed the imprisonment and
release of hundreds of prisoners. This
has led to a philosophical bent Of
mind and his retrospective cogitations
have led him to hang in his cell the
motto. Smile. dam you, smile"
Speyer does not think much of the
iail as a place for reforming criminals
On this subject he says The men
who come here are mostly graduates
in crime They cannot be reformed. 1
have seen many men here, who went
to the penitentiary when I first came.
who have since served their sentences,
have come back and been taken away
TO begin a second sentence. The first
jail sentence may do a young man
some good, I think. That is, if he is
set free in a few hours, before he be
Games acquainted with the other Grim
inals and before the horror wears off.
But after a man has spent a week
in a jail. the Jail is wothOut opportu-
nifty for doing him any good. He be-
comes hardened
Il will tell you why this Jail is al
ways full. 1t is not. as the preacher
comes in and tell us. because of men
being hungry and having to steal. and
ii is not because of WHISKY. 1t is be-
cause of cocaine and morphine and
other drugs that keep the jails full.
Nine-tenths of the inmates of jails are
drug ffends. The jailers use every pre-
caution to keep the stuff out of the Jail
but it is Struggled in loaves of bread
in pies and in bananas. And a man
who is drug fend is an incurabIe
criminal. At any time ne is without
his drug he will steal. murder or COM
nit any crime to get the price of the
stuff"

CHICAGO CITY RY. TO
ASSUMES CONTROL
Agreement Between Two
Street Car Corporations
in Effect Soon.
TRANSFERS FROM 70 TIL. ST.
Promise of Quicker and Better Serv-
ice is Again Held Out to
the Patrons.

Seven days more and the South Chi
cago City Railway will be controlled
by the Chicago City Company and the
patrons Of the local system are again
given promises of better and quicker
service TO and from Sixty-third street.
With few exceptions all the papers
have been signed by the local system
and the down town company
Not only are the patrons given prom
Use of quicker and setter service. but
those residing north Of Seventy ninth
street will have advantage OF five
cent fare to any part OF the city on the
lines traversed by the Chicago City
Railway Company. This news is too
good to be true, so many assert and the
majority of the South Chicago patrons
are wont to believe that the service
will be bettered.
Sloan Remains in Charge.
H NJ. Sloan. the present superintend-
ent of the Calumet and South Chicago
City Railway Company will be retained
in the same capacity by the down town
company. Work on the rehabilitton of
the local company's trackage will be
started Immediately after the Chicago
City assumes control.
Several officials from the Burnside
Office were down town yesterday In
conference with the SChicagO company,
Offering suggestions for the betterment
of the service and judging from the
manner in which the local officials are
going at the matter. they mean bust
ness and local representatives OF the
company believe that the death knell
has been sounded TO the rotten street
car service through South Chicago.
Big Cars Come Later.
At first it was the intention of the
city company TO run their Roby car
to Seventy-ninth street via Stony Is
land avenue, Coles avenue, Seventy
fifth street and Seventy-third street
but owing to some disagreement upon
this matter by the officials it seems
TO have fallen through and there seems
to be no chance of seeing the big city
cars in Cheltenham and Windsor Park
this year However, the officials OF
both roads maintain that they will
come sooner or later and there is a
possibility that the city cars will run
as far south as Ninety second street
1t Is believed that with the new ad-
vent of the city company in assuming
control of the local system that the
old Ninety-hfth street car barns vii
again be put into use which viii
mean a big relief to the local motor
man and conductors who at the present
time are compelled to gy to Burnside
to take out their daily runs.
