shouting and marching to and fro
with an indescribable enthusiasm.
The young priests circulate among
the crowd, and distribute to those
who have been unable to enter the
church reliquary in the form of
miniature female arm, which the
faithful believers kiss devoutly and
preserve until their death.
However, the hour for the great
procession arrives, announced from
the belfry. A long line of pilgrims
emerges from the church, and march
es toward the beach, pilgrims from
Toulouse, Montpelier, Narbonne, Bez-
iers, Lunel, Taraseon, Beaucaire,
Saint Remy, Aries, from all Pro-
vence; women, children, cripples, con-
sumptives, robust, red-eheeked farm
ers, hardy peasants bronzed by the
meridianal sun, fishermen and sailors,
who have come from afar to chant
once more the old canticles, which
have come down through the centu-
ries, and which they learned at their
grandmothers' knees.
"Dans I'M vaisseau sans cordage,
Au naufrage,
On vous eXposa soudaln.
Mais lie Dieu la Providence
De Provence
Vous fit trouver le chemin.'
Each parish has its special banner,
its priest, and chants its particular
local canticle. The effect is very orr
ginal, very imposing, and frightfully
discordant. At length, as the process
sion grows longer, the sacred caskets
emerge from the doorway Of the
church upon flower covered chariot,
drawn by Mediterranean sailors,
whose foreheads stream with perspir-
alton as they march and sing. The
caskets are followed by happy faith
er, carrying in his arms baby, whom,
upon the previous day the saints had
"cured" Of some imaginary malady.
The procession, augmented by the
chariot and composing total Of five
or six thousand souls, is now march
ing along the sands, the banners float
in the fresh breeze, the surf breaks
upon the shore, the bells clang and
the bombs detonate with the sound of
artillery in action; the high-priest, re-
splendent in gorgeous robe Of red
and gold, advances toward the sea un-
til the Wavelets break over his feet;
then ne holds aloft the reliquary said
to contain the arm Of one Of the
saints, and, according to the popular
belief, the waves miraculously recede.
The ceremony is completed, the
ranks of the procession are broken,
and, after the easkets have been re-
turned to their resting place, the
flowers, which have decorated the
chariot are scattered upon the heads
Of the crowd. Happy is the sailor or
fisherman, who has the good luck to
seize one Of these blossoms flying
through the air. The next morning,
he will fasten it ito the prov of his
fishing boat and will expect it to rem
der the sea propitious, and conduct
him to a spot where fish are abund-
ant.
At three o'clock in the afternoon,
the church-bells ring once more for
vespers, and for the last time the pill
grims enter the chapel. While they
chant and Magnificat and illumine
myriad candles, the sacred easkets
are again attached to the silver wire,
and as the splendid old Gregorlan
hvnn rolls upward. the relics ascend

RADICAL s. P. N
Rumors of Segregation of Roads Fly
Thick and Fast-SOme
Admissions.

OGDEN, Dec. 3.-Since the death
of President E. H. Hartman the
head of the great Hartman system
of railroads, rumors have been flying
thick and fast over the network of
railroads controlled by the great
magnate, that radical changes in the
maintenance and operation of the
system were being contemplated. Og-
den being one of the chief railroad
centers of the west, the reports have
naturally been circulated here also.
In the light of recent changes
which have been made it appears
some of these rumors are not wholly
without foundation. That the Union
Pacific, Southern Pacific and Oregon
Short Line railroad companies will
at some time during the approaching
year be run with every department
separate and distinct from the same
departments of the other roads is
one of the rumors which are now
being persistently circulated. Local
railroad men say that if such is the
intention, they have not been advised
Of it., but it is admitted in many
quarters that recent changes tend
to prove the correctness of the re-
port.
Orders have already been received
for the segregation of the hotel and
dining car service of the three roads
which will take effect December l..
The Union Pacific service will have
it's headquarters at Omaha and F. e.
Lewis, the present superintendent,
will be transferred there in charge
of the department. The dining car
and hotel service of the Oregon Short
Line and the Southern Pacific will
be conducted separately also and it
is understood will maintain separate
headquarters in Ogden with Fred
Gentsch, chief clerk under Superin-
tendent Lewis as head of the Ore
gon Short Line service.
Following the segregation of this
department of the railroads others of
still more importance are expected
in the near future when it is rumored
that the three railroads will be run
as if they were not part of n great
system.
The movements of Judge Robert S.
Lovett, the president of the great
system who succeeded E. H. Harri-
man, are now being watched closely.
Accompanied by julius Krutschnitt,
vice president and director of main
tenance and operation; j. G. Stubs,
traffic director; e. o. Mccormick, as
sistant traffic director, President Low
EFT is now on a tour of the entire rail-
road system. The party reached
Portland yesterday and from there
they go to San Francisco. After
reaching the western terminus of the
great railroad system, it is generally
believed that announcements will be
made by President Lovett which will
affect the entire railroad system and
ultimately result in a revolution of
railroad traffic on the Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific and Oregon Short
Line railroads.

TRANSPORT STILL AGROUND.
Embarrassing Beginning of Warlike
Expedition of Marines.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3.-The
transport Prairie, which left here
yesterday afternoon for the Panama
Canal Zone, and possibly Nicaragua,
with 700 marines, and went aground
late last night in the delaware river
near Fort Delaware, is still fast in
the mud and will probably remain
SO until the next high tide.
A determined effort was made to
float the Prairie at high tide at A
O'Clock this morning, but three tugs
were unable to move the vessel an
inch.
The Prairie was in charge of F.
L. Lubker, a Delaware river pilot,
and was going down the river under
almost full Roadway when she
struck. The heavily loaded vessel
hit the mud north of Pea Patch Is
land. The transport has thus far
sustained no damage. 1t is expect
ed that Admiral Kimball will have
most of the marines taken off the
transport and some of the cargo
lightered.

There is to be no effort on the
part of the Standard Oil company to
secure an amendment of the Sher
man antitrust law. We shall await
the verdict of the Supreme Court be-
fore we take any steps looking to-
ward either reorganization or a new
statement of our case to the public
These are the words of Mortimer f.
Elliott, the chief counsel for the
Standard. They + sensible words.
On the particular points involved In
the case against the Standard the
country has had no final verdict. Not
until the Supreme court speaks can
either the lawyers or the pubic
know the law on these issues. 1t
would be a waste of time to work
to amend the antitrust act until the
exact scope of the act is made plain.
All this is so elementary that the
Standards position in regard to
amendment will commend itself to
the country. 1t is to the interest OF
the Standard as well as to the gov
eminent to use their influence to
hasten a final ruling by the higher
tribunal.

The motion picture industry has adj
vanced in the past year until it now
heads the list. and at the present time
there are more people entertained
with motion pictures than all other
classes of amusements combined.
One of the most beautiful and real
istic subjects of the season was The
