Dear Friends Of the NJ. b. c.:
Have not forgotten you, but thought I
would give every one chance to write about
the reunion. Have enjoyed the reports SO
far very much, and know You all must have
had a lovely time, as the day was fne and so
many got out.
Who would have thought when this column
was first seen in print that 1t would find SO
many warm friends, and who can tell the
good it has done? 1t seems sometimes that
the words contained in the poetry and letters
are just what is needed to help us along over
some rough place, and such q comfort to the
sick and sorrowing ones. Long may it live.
Did you ever see such lovely OCTOBER Even
with the fires. drouth and many unpleasant
features it was just grand, and how beautiful
the trees looked, with their varied hues. But
soon it win be SO different; the ground will be
covered with its snowy mantle, and We can
only look on and wonder at the mysteries Of
nature and exclaim: How wonderful are the
works OF God"
Now that the fall work is done and we cud-
die around our cory fres, we will have more
time to write, and expect that Aunt Madge
viii be deiuged with letters, and it will take
two columns instead OF one. And now me-
thinks hear someone saying: "Well, If she
does not stop soon it will surely take more
than one for hers;" SO here are my best wishes
for every one for Thanksgiving, Christmas and
New Years and many more to come, from
AuNT EMMA.
am going to tell you, although Aunt
Emma hasn't mentioned it, that she too
by an accident has been . prisoner for
twelve weeks, but by her letter you viii
see she belongs to the class, prisoners Of

Interstate Commerce Commits.
sion Decides That Bulk Ship
ments Are Legal.
WILL INVESTIGATE ADVANCES
Commission Will Not Wait for Complaint
Before Looking Into Raise
in Rates.

Washington, July 29.-According to
a decision by the interstate commerce
commission yesterday, shippers may
combine small quantities of freight of
various ownerships, either by arrang.
ment among themselves or through
the medium of a forwarding agency,
and ship the combined lot at the rela-
lively low rates applicable to large
shipments.
The commission decided in favor of
the smaller shippers upon the ground
that the ownership of property ten.
dered for shipment cannot be made a
test as to the applicability as to car
riers' rates.
The interstate commerce law for
bids discrimination between shippers.
and the fact that n shipper tenders
a 'bulked Shipment made up of prop
erty of various ownership consolidate
ed before delivery to the carrier will
not justify the carrier in making a
different charge than for a shipment
OF similar CHARACTER clue GU Wy a
shipper who is also the owner.
Refers to Carriage.
The commission rests it's decision
principally upon the case of Wight VS..
United States, where the supreme
court held that the phrase under
substantially similar circumstances
and conditions" as found in section 2
of the act prohibiting discrimination
refers to the matter of carriage. The
decision also follows the English
cases interpreting the ~eso-called
equality clause" of the English act,
which clause has been substantially
incorporated into the interstate com
merce law.
This decision was made by Commits.
sioner Lane, based on a complaint by
the California Commercial Association
VS.. Wells-Fargo Company.
The commission issued a statement
to the effect that, without waiting for
the filing of formal complains, it will
institute an investigation of its own
motion for the purpose of determining
whether or not advances in freight
rates are justified.

Enthusiasm Over PRONUNCIATION Of
Constitution Shown in Turkey,

EnthuSiaSm over PRONUNCIATION OF
Constitution Shown in Turkey.
Constantinople, July 2S.-Following
the momentous act of the sultan of
Turkey in proclaiming Saturday the
restoration Of the constitution of 1876,
the Turkish newspapers are trying to
awaken the enthusiasm of the people.
They published long articles praising
the sultan for the re-establishn ent of
the constitution, which the writer's
declare finally assures the prosperity,
liberty, justice and equality SO long
awaited.
The imperial trade was officially
read in all Of the provincial centers,
where it vas received with signs of
popular rejoicing such as were oota-
bly, lacbing' in the capital.

demonstrations and speeches in the
general rejoicing. All the steamers
on the Bosphorous were gaily deco
rated with flags and 10000 men
marched in procession to the Yildez
Kiosk and cheered the sultan continu,
ously. The evening papers publish an
imperial rescript pointing out that
owing to the previous condition of the
country it was impossible to apply a
! constitution but that the time had
| arrived to grant this to the people.
| The hope was expressed in the re-
script that the people would cooper
| ate with the parliament and the sui
tan. The rescript concludes with the
imperial thanks for the popular mani
festations. During the .demonstra-
| lions on Saturday the people COMPEL
| ed the ministers of state to swear
| fidelity to the constitution.
What Constitution Grants.
The principal points Of the new n
stitution are:
Personal liberty; no punishment
without trial; religious liberation; a
free press; equality Of all Ottoman
subjects; security of property; invio-
liability of domicile. and abolition Of
torture.
The general assembly will consist
of two chambers, the senator's to be
chosen by the sultan for distinguished
service to the state; the deputies TO
be elected in the proportion Of one
for each 0 900 inhabitants.
Following the sultan's trade order.
