TO STOP Paying
FARE ON TRAIN
RAILWAYS HAVE BILL WHO
WOULD END INCONVENIENCE
TO CONDUCTORS.
TO AMEND STATE RATE LAW
Plan Is to Make Carriers AsE Commits
sion to Allow Them to Change
Freight Tariffs.
CORN SHREDDER BILL is IN

MADISON, Wis, Feb. 23.-[Special. ]
Senator Brazeau of Grand Rapids has
introduced bill allowing the railroads
to collect u fee of every person buying a
ticket on the train. The present law al
lows the conductor to charge 10 cents
of every person buying ticket on the
train, but the conductor must give the
passenger a coupon for this amount,
which is redeemable at any station.
After the passage OF the 2-cent fare
law, which wiped out of existence the re,
duced fare books, passengers neglected
to buy tickets at the stations and pre-
ferred to buy them on the trains. 1t has
been such an Inconvenience to the rail
roads that Senator Brazeau has intro
duced a bill (by request that, in add,
ton to the regular fare allows the con
ductOr to make charge to the pas
senger ''of % cents when the fare is 81
or more, or 10 cents when the fare is less
than ST. The railroad company may re.
tain this
Another important amendment pro-
vides that no railroad can increase its
freight rates without an order from the
make an advance upon filing notice
ten days in advance. Often the parties
affected are not advised Of the increase
until it is in effect. Senator La Toilette
has been making a fight to have SINH
lar provision incorporated in the inter
state commerce act.
Cut Shredder Accidents
Assemblyman Thomas Stewart OF
Dane county has introduced a bill pro

reasonable safety devices for the pro.
lection from accidents from the snap.
ping rollers, husking rollers, chains
gears and other dangerous parts and
shall be so guarded that the person feed
ing the machine shall be compelled tc
stand at a reasonable. safe distance from
the swapping rollers"
The measure proposed also provides
that the husker ''shall be in charge OF
a competent persons whose sole duty
shall be to oversee and attend to the
operation of the same" Any person OF
corporation violating the provisions OF
the act may be punished ''by a fine OF
not less than $23 and more than SlOC

HOADLEY AND LETTER
 SUE FOR sBRIBE'
say They Paid Money to Prevent Inter-
 national Power Articles in Herald.

New York. April 3.-As Edmund L. Mooney. counsel for Franklin. Scott & Co.,. in their suit against Joseph H. Hoadley. Joseph Letter and Cyrus E" cid Judson for $S0, 900. was preparing to sum up before Justice Sutherland in the Supreme Court yesterday afternoon he was served with a summons in an action brought by Hoadley and Letter paid him to "f1x' the New York Herald when HoadIey, Letter and Judson were trying to boost International Power stock in 1901. Franklin. Scott & Co. are suing to recover losses they say they sustained when the stock slump ed from $19S to s6 a share because of the heavy holdings they had at the behest of the Leiter-Hoadley pool.
 Hoad1ey testified last Monday that in 1901 he was informed by a broker that the New York Herald was about to publish a series of articles reflecting on the value Of the International Power stock and the pool arrangement. He swore Mooney represented that he had a brother on the New York Herald who could stop the publication of the articles if Letter and Hoad'ey would pay $2.50e. A check was drawn and was entered on Hoadley's books as advertising expenses" There was no testimony to show that any of the money ever reached the newspaper.
 Mooney admitted that he was served with the summons. but he said no complaint accompanied it. and since 1t was April 1. he said. he considered the matter a joke. The case will go to the jury to-day.

Not Worth tt.

A young man, after his banns had been twice announced, called upon the busy vicar early one morning. He wanted to have a private word with him about the banns.
 "Wen," said the vicar, what is wrongT'
 "Oh, it's the girls name"
 Hasn't 1t been given correctlyT
 "Oh, yes, it's correct enough, but I want you to put another girls name for the third calling. I've changed my mind and would rather marry Mary 'Arris instead of Sarah Jenkins"
 The vicar lectured the youth upon his fckleness and told him if he want ed any alteraCIon 1t would be necessary to make a fresh start and have the banns published afresh.
 What, and pay another shilling?" gasped the lover.
 Certainly" replied the vicar.
 "Well, in that case you had better let it be as 1t is, and I'll marry my first Weekly.

 One of the most important happen ings of the week which Is world wide in it's effect is the action of the Bank of England which reduced its mini mum rate of discount from 3 to 2 1-2 per cent.

 The return of E. H. Hartman in good health is important in that it stops the many reports of his illness which has been both ammunition for the bulls and the bears.
 The eyes of the Street will from now on be on crops. The first Govern ment report will be issued April 18th and will have a bearing both upon stock prices and upon business. The business situation is on the mend. The bottom has been reached and from now on there will be a SLOW but steady and healthy improvement.

Wills and Edmund kean.

Irving used to tell with dramatic eff feet a story about W. G. Wills, the dramatist, who. among other services, wrote for him the play Charles I.'' When Wills was boy ten years old he was taken to see Edmund Kea play Macbeth. In the murder scene he was so affected by the realistic power of the actor that, seized with a severe attack of nausea, he hurried from the box. Ten years later he was lunching at chop house in Fleet street when a man entered, sat down at a table near him and ordered a meal. He was a perfect stranger to Wills, who, after a few minutes pro- pinquity, was again seized with a fit of nausea, from which he had not suf- fered since as a boy he was at the theater on the occasion mentioned. He was obliged to leave the room. When some minutes later he paid his bill the waiter said to him: Did you see that gentleman at the table near you? That's Edmund Kean.'-H. w. Lucy in Cornhill Magazine.

 '"This fish has under his tail a sac In it he bears the pipefish spawn. Thus the spawn hatch in perfect safety. They are not decimated, like the other fish spawn lying unprotected on the bottom of the sea, by every hungry passerby. No; they all hatch. every one of them.
 As soon as they hatch the father fish splits, or nature splits for him, the sac, and all the little fish drop out into the sea, but they cling to papa. Wher- ever he goes, like a gray cloud those thousands of tiny sons and daughters surround him, and on the approach of danger they pop back again into the sac just as baby kangaroos pop into the sac, or marsupial pouch, of their mamma.

HARRIMAN'S RETURN RESTORES CONFIDNECE
 IN WALL STREET

New York, April 3.-Prices advanced sharply on the New York Stock Ex- change and on the close of business Thursday the advance on an average that calls for a temporary reaction at least. This, however, will not last long in all probability nor be very se- were. There is some bad news, but on the whole the news is good. The depression in general industry, partic- ularly in the iron and steel trade, has made necessary these rather wide spread cuts. Most of the independent iron and steel companies have already announced wage cuts. and the United States Steel Corporation is expected to make a similar announcement in the near future. Whether or not such general wage cutting will produce la bor disturbances cannot yet be deter mined. The chances, however, favor an absence of serious disturbances, for the reason that laborers generally, and labor union leaders recognize the in dustria1 necessity for lower wages ct the present time. In this connection 1t is noteworthy that a strike of the anthracite miners has become a prob ability that is rapidly fading.
 The reports of gross and net earnings of the railroads for the month of Feb ruary that have been published so far contribute their quota to the favor a long one, but the story told by practically every report is the same. The reports differ somewhat from those of recent months. Heretofore. the increases in net earnings that have been attained have been brought about apparently by very drastic reductions in operating expenses. which have led to suspicious that the maintenance accounts were being somewhat neg 1ected. In the reports for February, however, a number of increases in gross earnings are found, which appa- rently indicate an increase in traffic. This indication is borne out by the statements of reductions in the num- Der of idle cars recently made. In making comparisons of railroad earn ings, it should be borne in mind that comparison this year is with very lean period last year, so that, while increases in both gross and net earn ings may look startlingly large, it will be much safer to make comparisons with 1907 or 1906. The most notewor- thy statements of February earnings are those of Union Pacific and South ern Pacific. These roads serve ter ritory that appears almost wholly to have recovered from conditions of de- pression and to be on the march up- ward again. As whole, railroad earn ings in the near future are very un-

A Study In Anatomy.

A Study In Anatomy.
 The brain is the headquarters of the nervous system and contains the cen tral okdioes of the Anatomical Tele- phone company.
 When the suburban nerve center says, Hello, central" the brain either replies What number?" or Busy" or "Out of order" as the case may be.
 Sometimes the wires are crossed and the company fails to declare any divi- dends. thus placing the entire brain in the hands of a receiver.
 From the brain issues the spine. which is sometimes useful in matrimo- ny, although rarely strong enough in man for practical purposes and con stantly growing weaker the longer he is married.
 On top of the head the hair grows, or is supposed to. In some cases, how ever, 1t fails to grow despite the most painstaking efforts.
 In ladies there are two kinds of hair viz, the imported and domestic. In gentlemen also two kindS-namely, permanent and transient. The perma- nent is seen in wild men, the transient in civilized men when young.
 At one time all the hairs were care fully numbered, but the practice has been discontinued owing to great pres sure of other matters.-Lippincott's

 "It's a pleasure to have you come here to tell me this," replied the doc tor, highly elated. Most of my pa tients are not so thoughtful. But that prescription is my pet favorite, and I never yet knew it to fail to cure a cough if taken in time."

A Sample of His Nerve.

Buck Taylor, the snowman, was a great friend of Captain William O'Neill, the rough rider who was killed at Las Guasimas, Cuba. in the Spanish American war. O'Neill was sheriff of Tucson, Ariz.. when Taylor became ac- quainted with him, and on more than one occasion the cowboy rendered the customer a service.
 Did O'Neill deserve the reputation he held for nerve?" Taylor was once asked.
 "Well," he said and then hesitated, as If careful to choose the right words, "I don't think there was anything that Bucky O'NeiIl was afraid of. Once he went into a den where ten of the pals of murderer and train robber he was after were gathered, laid his hand on the mans shoulder and walked him out.

NO PARCEL. EXPRESS
 FOR BRIDGEPORT
System is Used by Connecticut Company
 Only in Small Places to Meet Suburban Demand.

Norwalk newspapers yesterday stat ed that the Connecticut Co.,, is about to inaugurate a parcel express service to carry packages and bundles in that city and all through the state. The system is described as one where a charge of five cents is made for ev- cry package up to ten pounds and an additional cents for bundles over 25 pounds being carried in connection with the service.
 Supt. Chapman, of the Bridgeport di- vision, said this morning that he had heard nothing about a parcel express bieng established here. He said the parcel service was not a new thing, but so far the company had only used it in the small towns, or where there was a large suburban service. It is in operation in Middletown, Meriden, New Britain, Rockville, and several small places, connected with Hartford by trolley.
