century Along with many Eu-
ropean cathedrals its exterior is
disfigured still by the mean
houses clustered around it. The
interior is grand and impressive
with its six splendidly formed
aisles. Its area amounts to 70,
900 square feet; that of Cologne
cathedral is 66, 600; St. Pauls in
London $4,000; st. Peters in
Rome, 1852, 900. Aside from its
attraction as a great cathedral,
this church contains Ruben's far
famed masterpiece, The Descent
from the Cross, painted in 1911
to 1914. Here too is the masters s
magnificentElevation fthe Cross,
although inferior to the former,
it is a remarkable work. In fact
the church is richly adorned with
splendid paintings, costly stained
glass and elaborately carved
wood confesslonals and choir
stalls.
Near the cathedralis is the house
in which the great painter, Van
Dyck was born. In the Royal
Museum there are some splendid
paintings by this great portrait
painter. Ruben's, however, is
the wonder of western Europe.
He seems to have painted not by
the foot but rather by the acre.
He is the most prolific and most
versatile painter who has ever
lived. Nearly every picture gal
lery have visited boasts of at
least one Ruben's. Some of the
galleries, such as L L'Ermitage in
st Petersburg, the Imperial Mu-
scum in Vienna, the old Pinako-
theck in Munich, the Museum
here and others almost TEEN with
the immense canvasses of this
famous Flemish artist. There
was no subject too big or too
little for Ruben to tackle. He
painted subjects rangingfrom the
crude to the heavenly. One of
the finest portraits / have seen is
the one Of himself in the Imper.
ial museum atVienna. He is noted
for his rapidity of execution and
for that reason many of his paint.

The brilliant coloring is so re

or clerks of the election board to cast
his vote unless said elector shall be
physically disabled from so doing.

TRAFFIC. CONDITIONS IN WEST.
Prospects For All Business Has Inn

proved Slowly.
Prospects for business with manu-
facturers, jobbers and railroads have
improved in the west. and the rail-
roads are doing an average business
for this season. In the grain traffic
the railroads have not Jared so well
at this season In any previous year, as
the movement is enormous. but is
hardly expected to continue in its
advance or farmers decide to market
their surplus with the same freedom
that has characterized their opera
lions in the past three weeks. Earn
ings have increased moderately. and
operating expenses continue heavy. A
majority of the western and south
western railroads have used UP their
surplus of box cars and reduced the
number of idle coal and flat cars
Many of the latter, however, have been
used for company business. Every eff
fort is being made to reduce the sup
ply of bad-order cars, and a majority
of the railroads are operating their
shops at full time to keep their equip
ment in good order. When the regu-
lar fall movement of grain and mer-
chandise gets under way, which will
be inside of thirty days. traffic affi-
Gals predict car shortage.
Business with the eastern roads is
slowly improving, although the volume
shows only slight excess over last year
Their surplus cars have been reduced
and shipments, both east and west
bound, last week were more satisfac-
tory to traffic officials The misceIla-
neous merchandise traffic, as we'll as
the eastern interior. grain movement,
has enlarged, and is about up to the
average of recent years There are
few lines of traffic which show ma
terial increases that have been suffi-
cient to more than offset the few
wherein decreases have occurred.

RIPLEY is PEssTMusTIC, STILL.
Does Not Expect Earnings of Next
Year To Be LARGE.

Chicago, Aua. 31.-President E. P.
Ripley has declared it his opinion the
cost of a railroad and it's capitaliza-
ton should not enter into considera-
ton in determining rates. He said
there never was a better rule than
the old and much abused one, "all the
traffic will bear"
1.-THE value Of the commodity han
died, and the value of the service are
the factors upon which a rate should
be determined" he continued.
Later in response to questions con-
corning the outlook for the road Mr..
Ripley said:
''The general conditions are bad and
do not expect the earnings of the
road next year will be as large as those
of last year. I am not a professor of
political economy and base my belief
only on the general opinion expressed
among merchants and others in touch
with conditions
Mr. Ripley admitted that the fig
ures of business transacted in July of
this year by that road would not sub
stantiate such a pessimistic view.
Concerning a reduction of tariff
rates affecting the volume of business
Mr.. Ripley said:
"a lower rate on lemons and or
anges from California would not make
larger shipments. All of the fruit is
being carried now which would be
carried in any event"
do you know he was asked, that
a reduction of rates would not mean
a proportionate increase in the vol
ume Of the shipments?"
"In the case of the citrus fruits, %
replied Mr.. Ripley. ga reduction of SO
per cent in the tariff rate would not
add to the volume of the shipments,
for the orchards are now shipping all
they can raise and the decrease would
