CAR CASE UP
COMPANY FIGHTING AGAINST
REDUCED FARE ORDER.
Injunction Sought to Prevent Inter.
state Commerce Commission From
Enforcing Rule.

CHICAGO, May o6.-In an effort to
prevent the interstate commerce commits
sion from reducing the rates of berths
on sleeping cars, attorneys for the Pull
man company yesterday argued before
Judges Grcsscup, Baker, Seaman anu
Kohlsaat in the United States circuit
court of appeals against the commits
sion's ruling. The Chicago, Milwaukee
and St Paul Railway Company joined the
Pullman company in the case. Argu-
ments by the commission will be made
today.
George Fernald and +. B. Daniels de-
cIared that the Pullman company was
not a common carrier and therefore was
not amenable to the commerce commits
sion's orders. They averred that the
company gets nothing but the berth rent
ais from the operation OF it's cars over
railroads in the northwest.
Burton Hanson, representing the Chi
caeo, Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad.
said that his road operated its own sleep
ing cars and would be affected by the
commissions order.
The interstate commerce commission re-
recently ordered the Pullman company
to reduce rates on upper berths on rail-
roads in the northwest, beginning on June
l. The Pullman company is seeking an
Injunction to prevent the COMMISSION
from putting the order into effect.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

During the absence of Benjamin Wood
ward. the president of the Washington
Stock Exchange. owing to a slight ILL
ness. the chair has been occupied for
q day or SO past by A. II. Paris, who
has struggled to hold the attention of the
brokers TO the call with only doubtful
success. owing mainly to the fact that
they are without orders and therefore
have more interest in transaSting other
business with their associates on the eX-
change than in putting in figures.
However Mr.. Paris efforts to secure q
more orderly course of business during
the call is recognized as along the right
lines and no doubt in the course of time
something of the sort will he accomplish
ed. Like ali reform movements. the
progress is regarded as rather slow.
The latest addition to the list of securi
ties are the bonds OF the Colonial Beach
which have been listed to the
extent of 100000. They belong to the :
per cent class. but as yet no figures have
been supplied the information fur
nished in regard to them was not avail

Remarkable as it may be it is a
fact that wealth does not influence
ones social position here Except for
a dozen or more prominent and wealthy
families, smart society is not composed
of the richest people. This fact is
particularly noticeable. as there are so
many nouveau richie living in the most
expensive and richly furnished houses
who have no place in Denver's social
world
The clubs play an important part
here. The Denver Club is the Oldest
and handsOmest. Its annual ball is one
Of the great social events. Here again
We differ from other cities, as there is
no season: dinners, luncheons, balls
and dances are continuous throughout
the year, as we are never forced to
seek resorts to avoid the summers
heat and dullness. The University Club

Curfew at Richmond Castle
From the London Chronicle.

Richmond Castle, which may shortly
become the property of the British nation,
was originally one of the strongest of
Norman keeps. 1t was probably founded
by Alan Rufus. one of the sons Of the
Duke of Brittany, who took prominent
part in the. suppression Of the Saxons At
later age the castle passed into the
procession Of Edmund Tudor, who mar
rieH Margaret Beaufort and became the
fa.her of Henry VII. Henry was born
Earl OF Richmond and be bestowed the
title upon the magnificent palace which,
when Ming OF England, he built upon the
banks of the Thames. Thus tie Rich
mond beloved of cocaneys has COM
paratively modern origin The curfew, by
the way is still rung from the tower Of
Richmond Castle al am. and pm a
custom that has continued ever since
the time of William the Conqueror.''
