COPENHAGEN. January 11.-Burslars
have profaned the collins of the late King
Christian and Queen Louise in the mauso-
leum of Frederick in the famous RIOS
kilde Cathedral. Holy relics of great
value were stolen from the sarcophagl-
Popular grief and anger at the outrage
are very great.
It appears that the burglars forced an
entrance through the cathedral windows
at night, afterward cutting way through
the iron gates separating the mausoleum
from the cathedral. once In the mauso-
leum the thieves made careful Seiectlon
of the most valuable golden WreatlS
placed on the sarcophagi of the KING ana

were one sent by the late kings chlldreIl,
including Queen Alexandra: one personal

contributed by all the Danish provinces,
and two others presented by the Russian
imperial family.

BERLIN, January IA curious ster

AT the beginning of this session three
large cartoons were placed over the

famous Paladins riding over the battle
field of Sedan at the close of the fight.

niticance, as well as to numerous faults
of execution and design, has been re-
moved. and the two unimportant thanking

BABY PRINCE WANTED HIS MA.
Grim Story Told About the Newly
Proclaimed Chinese Emperor.

Special Cablegram TO The Star.
TIENTSIN, January ia rather grim
story that has been circulated here throws
a sidelight on life in the palace at Picking.
When the baby prince Pu Vi had been
proclaimed emperor it was not possible,
according to court etiquette, for his mother
to go near him in his exalted position.
Missing her care, the child was crying
for about a couple of days. and the
''amah" or nurse who had been with him
from birth tried in vain to soothe him.
The officials, being afraid of his crying
himself ill, gave the "amah" orders TO
stop the crying. She did all she could
but without success. Then, fearing that
she would be punished she committed
suicide outside the door leading to the
young emperor's bedroom.

Discriminating Arrangements.


Arrangements by which carriers farm
out portion of their duties to shippers
generally result in discrimination Under
this heading may be placed the evils aris-
ing from private ownership of freight
cars, the allowance paid by the carriers
being frequently excessive. Elevators op-
Grated by shippers and furnishing serv-
ice covered by railroad tariffs usually re-
suit in more or less complete monopoly of
the grain business passing through them
Lighterage arrangements when made be-
tween carriers and shippers are also
means of discrimination. The ownership
of cotton congresses by shippers and the
treatment of their services as a railroad
duty also works discrimination in the
handling of cotton. Other like instances
might be given. 1t is sufficient to say,
however. that any use by carriers of in
strumentalities owned by shippers in the
performance of their obligations to other
shippers usually results to the unlawful
advantage of the owners of such instru-
mentaltieS.
1.-The decisions of the courts during the
year just passed have, with two or three
exceptions. served to strengthen the law
against determinations.
Decision on Commodities Clause.
1.-The ruling of the circuit court OF APP
peals of the third circuit that the COM
modities clause of the act is unconstitu-
tional has served to embarrass and delay
the fight against discrimination. A con-
siderable number of carriers are owners
of and dealers in commodities carried by
them. Such carriers succeed in practical
ly every case in monopoliZing or at least
dominating the markets in which they
deal. The commodities clause by COM
polling carriers to confine themselves to
the transportation business promises to
give many shippers freedom from dis
elimination"

A Year on A Farm.

A suggestion that is worthy Of the
serious consideration Of those to
whom it is addressed is made by the
Jefferson Reporter. With bubblng
enthusiasm and evident complete
faith in its preachment it advises:
Let the young man about town out
of a job try a year on the farm.
Piowing will give him new constl-
tuition. take the kinks out Of his head,
the frog out Of his throat, the gas
off his stomach, the WEAKNESS out OF
his legs. the corn off his toes and give
him a good appetite, an honest llv-
ing and a sight of heaven.
One mistake is made in rendering
this well-meant advice, which, how
ever. is natural for a country editor
to make who probably has read the
sensational stories found in yellow
Journals sometimes about the vast
number Of unemployed in the cities.
There are no Young men in town-ln
any town-who really desire work,
who are out of a job. There are un-
cmployed- but invariably they are
men. young or old, who do not de-
sire work nearly as much as they
pretend or think they do. and who
much prefer loafng. To this class

Eighteen months later he was trans

When the general Offices Of this

AS in lower positions, so in the
Office Of general manager, Mr..

age to read, but I want every young
man to read it-that is if the editor
does not cut it out of my article-l

will if its advice is needed. A year
on the farm would mean great
deal for a number Of young men.

printed and then I want it read.
