A CHINESE CONCERT.
u Had at Least the Virtue Of Not Be-
coming 1iresome.

An amusing story is related by
Maurice Barring in his book, "a
| Year In Russia" "a Chinaman
came from a house in a tumbledown
village at which a midday halt was
made. His child was i'll, and he
sought a doctor. To save the bother
of explanation Mr.. Barring, who had
been picked out by eason of his
red correspondents badge on his
arm, said he was a doctor and went
to the house, where lay a brown and
naked infant. 81 made him put out
his tongue. 1t was white. l asked
what he had been eating lately. The
| Chinaman said raw Indian corn. |
prescribed cessation of diet and
complete repose.
"The Chinaman appeared to me to
be much satisfied and asked me if |
would like to hear a concert. | said
very much. Then he babe me sit
down on the khan-the natural
divan of every Chinese house-and
to look ('smotri, smotri,' he said.
Presently another Chinaman came
into the room, and, taking from the
wall a large and twisted clarion like
the wreathed horn old Triton blew,
he blew on it one deafening blast
and hung it up on the wall again.
There was a short pause. I waited
in expectation, and the Chinaman
turned to me and said, The concert
is now over
"When we had finished luncheon
and just as we were about to re-
sumo III journey the Chinaman in
whose house I had been entertained
rushed up to me. Tn your country
said he, when you 60 to a concert
do you not pay for it" The con-
cert" adds Mr.. Barring, "was paid
for"

RAILROAD RATES
 UNDER ADYISEMfNT
Arguments End by Judge Triebel Withholding His Decision in the Petition to Dismiss Injunction.

At the conclusion of the argument of Judge Joseph M. Hill in the rate hearing in United States Circuit Court yesterday, Judge Jacob rTrie- ber took under advisement the peti- ton of the Railroad Commission in the matter of &the commissions en- joined tariff orders.
 The commission seeks to have con- dftiOns imposed on the railroads to mitigate the effect of the injunction granted by Judge Van Devanter at St. Paul last year. 1t is claimed that since the injunction. has. been in effect the railroads have established new tariff which in. many cases IS prohibitive and exorbitant and which discriminates against Arkansas points in favor of points outside the state. The railroads deny any discrimina- ton and maintain the amount of rev enue. received by them through the increased rates in no instance per- mits them to earn more than five per cent and that several lines are still losing money.
 No intimation has been given of the time when the decision will be filed The impression prevails that if Judge Trieber finds for the commission he will make an order establishing q new maximum tariff.

WANT MABRAY TO
 ANSWER QUESTIONS

J. K. Cavanagh Still Persists in His 1 Efforts to Recover Some of the Money He Lost in the Alleged Swindleiest-List of Questions Filed.
 Little Rock, Ark., April 12.-Efforts
 to make J. C. Mabray tell what he did with the money on hand when the alleged band of swindlers was ar rested here, have not ceased by the attorneys employed by J. E. Cav anagh, who is enleavoring to secure a portion of the money returned. which he alleges he was fleeced out of by Mabray and his associates. In the United States Circuit Court yesterday the attorneys for Cavanagh
 filed list of questions they would like to have Judge Trieber force Ma bray to answer The first of these {; would make Mabray divulge to whom ibelonged the money and ring he had ], in his possession when arrested. 1 The second would have him tell to { whom they do belong in case they are not his property.
 ! The third question seeks to place
 the ownership of the diamond stud worn by Mabray, also the suit cases.
 The Fourth question would locate the ownership of these if Mabray de-
 nies they are his property. The fifth question is an endeavor to
 have Mabray tell if he was the owner
 of real estate at the time of his ar-
 rest, and if he did not have large
 sums of money is the text of the
 sixth question.
 | The petitioner also asks the court
 to give him the money taken from sMabray and his associates when ar ] rested. and also the money derived 7, from the sale of the stock.
