ceiving and handling of freight.
There are four places affected, Aber-

Passenger Rates Extended to
Puget Sound.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2.-The war
of the steamship companies is on in
ernest, and passenger can ride from
Los Angeles to San Francisco, meals
included, for 81. Counting the troll
ley fare between this city and the
beach, the total is $1.35. This in
cludes all meals and a stateroom. The
thousands of homeseekers who have
reached California on the reduced
tourist rates from the East are TAX
ing advantage of the steamship war
and crowding the Coast steamers to
their capacities.
The railroads are running trains
minus much of the heavy traffic that
they usually have at this season. The
traffic agents regard the militant
steamship men with great disgust
The 81 rate between the two Coast
cities was reached last night when
the West Coast line met the previous
big cut Of the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company, and went few nOtches
lower The first steamer to sail un-
der the new rate will be the Yosemite
leaving for the North Tuesday. The
West Coast Company extended its bat
tie front in last nights announce
ment by cutting the rates to Seattle
and Portland, to which points the
fare has hitherto been unaffected.
This company will sell to Seattle for
S15.S5 and to Portland for $11.50.
The present rates are $22.50 and $50,
respectively.

REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE
JUDGE MCCREDIE INELIGIBLE To
RUN FOR CONGRESS.
Constitutional Provision Prohibits
Judges from Running for Ofher
OffiCeS.i Democrats Will Ask for
Court Order to Prevent ,piaCina of
f1CCfedie'S Name on Ballot,

OLYMPIA, Oct. In order to dis
qualify Judge w. w. McCredie of
Vancouver, who was nominated ut
the Republican convention held in
this city Wednesday as a candidate
for congress to succeed the late Fran
els w. Cushman, the democrats are
planning to apply in the supreme
court for writ of mandate to force
the secretary Of state to keep Nc
Credie's name off the ballot. The
state constitution provides that
Judge or the supreme or superior
court shall not be eligible to hold any
other office, but the federal consti-
tuition provides that congress shall be
the sole judge of the qualifications
of its members.
If McCredie, who is now a superior
court judge of four counties in the
southwest, is elected there is little
doubt but that the Republican ma
jOrity in the house of representatives
tion of the federal records shows that
when Judge Lyman Trumbull was
elected from Illinois he was seated,
congress holding that the state con-
stitution did not bar him from serv-
ing in the national legislature, as in
that body is vested the sole power of
Judging the eligibility of it's own
members.
Two Views of Case.
The democratic move, however, will
leave the court but two avenues for
rendering a decision. The democrats
of Judge McCredie on the ballot will
be an idle thing, as he is already dis
qualified by reason of being a member
of the bench. Other courts have held
that he will not be violating any con-
stitutional provision until he at
tempts to assume his new duties, and
then he will be before congress,
which body will pass upon the merits
of the case. If this line is followed
the writ will be denied. On the other
hand, the court may hold, as other
courts have held, that seeking an
election to an office to which he is
disqualified is not in violation of arti-
Gle of the state constitution, and
thus deny the writ. In the Illinois
case the constitutional provision was
identical with that embodied in the
Washington constitution.
For some time it has been known
that there was question as to the
eligibility of Judge McCredie. The
democrats were preparing to contest
the eligibility of the republican NOM
inee, but they did not intend to make
any open announcement until after
they had named candidate and the
30-day limit for the filing of nomina-
tions had expired.

TRAGEDY IN HOME

With dignifed gait and head erect the woman descended the steps and pro ceeded slowly down toward Broad street. In one hand she held hatbox, in the other a large paper bundle, and in her eyes was the light of battle.
 The man ran dstractedly after her.
 'Come back! he cried. For heaven s sake do not leave me thus!' But the woman turned upon him with wither- ing glance of scorn and the corners of her mouth dropped contemptuously.
 You don t know what this means to me, v the man cried in frenzy of despair. 'YOu cannot realize how emp ty my home will be without you Sure ly, oh surely, you cannot mean to leave me forever! will gratify your every wish, cater to your fancy, grovel in the dust at our feet, if you will only stay'
 But in vain. Her retreating figure had turned the corner, and the woman, deaf to his entreaties, was out of hear ing distance. The man re-entered the house and threw himself upon divan,
 ''What is to become of us,' he groaned. "Our cook has gone.'

CONCERNING CoLoRS

It is one of the subtlties of dress that certain shades suit fresh, clear, natural complexion, and others look best with madeup complexion. So, at least, fashion authorities say, and they say also that the made-up com plexion is easier to suit than the nat ural one, which is comforting to those who are reduced to the necessity of making up.
 The color of the eyes can be inten sifed by wearing certain shades. Blue in the dress will intensity the blue of the eyes. Brow will perform simi lar service for the brown-eyed girl. In this way it is possible to apparently modify the color of the eyes.
 The woman who wants her guests to both feel comfortable and look well should make a study of her colors for her shades over electric bulbs. Pink will be found the most becoming; then comes the yellow and very pale shade of green. strange as this last may seem.
 A dark green will make everyone look seasick, but pale shade will impart fresh, fair tint to the skin, becoming alike to blonde and brunette.
