terstate commerce commission today
that IT would not suspend Official CLASH
hcation No. So. involving over 5000

fective July !. This declination to
act is regarded as a victory for the
railroads
For nearly month the commission
has been overwhelmed with protests
against the proposed new classific alton
or freight, many shippers Seeming ia
entertain the idea that the rearranre
ment OF freight classification would
result in largely increased rates.
The subject was considered carefully
by the commission. a thorough and com.
prehensive check being prepared ON the
entire classification. In the 5000 items
and ratings involved there are onIv IA
changes. Of which % are reductions and
20 advances. the latter including IL in
creases in carload weights In an of1cial
statement issued today the Commission
says:
The principal increases are the car
load minimum OF horse vehicles from
10000 to II 900 pounds, and an advance
in the classification of automobiles from
first class to 40 per cent of first class.
And the commission IL not satisfied that
these items should be suspended. This
ruling, however. will not prevent or de-
lay the hearing of any complaint which
has been or may be made against the
asonableness Of these or any other in
creases effected by the new classified

CAMP GOOD Will READY
FINAL INSPECTION OF THE
TENTS AND GROUNDS.
First Party of One Hundred Chill
dren Will Be Taken Out Tomor-
row for Two Weeks.

After q final inspection this morning of
the tents and grounds and general equip
ment Of Camp Good Will. Capt. Andrew
Parker this afternoon announced that
everything was in readiness and the sea-
son Of 1910 at Camp Good Will would
open tomorrow. The first party Of about
100 children and some mothers will reach
the camp at about 3 o'clock in the after
noon, and then there will be before them
two weeks of tent life and of rest and
recreation.
A week later a second party of 100
more will be taken to the camp, and
from that time until the summer is ended
the camp will receive 100 little folks each
week, sending back to their city homes
a like number who for two weeks have
experienced the delights and benefits of
the camp.
Improvement in Camp.
Camp Good Will of 1910 is vastly inn
proved over the camp of last year, and
when compared with the original camp Of
five or six years ago 1t rises to the dignity
Of veritable city of tents and pavilions.
On the broad, level hilltop just west Of
Brightwood the camp this year includes
between twenty-five and thirty big hos
pital tents each capable of accomodat-
ing six persons, and about fifteen smaller
tents, each offering shelter for two per-
sons.
In addition there have been constructed
for use this year great dining hall, with
a seating capacity of 81. and a big social
pavilion where mothers may sit in the
shade and at the same time watch their
children disporting themselves in the sand
piles and on the broad lawns. Camp
Good viii has it's own vegetable gardens,
and in this measure 1t is self-sustaining,
but in every other respect 1t is main
tanned by voluntary contributions.
Means Of Recreation.
There are all sorts of open air games
on the camp grounds for the boys and
girls, and the ''swimmin' hole" in Rock
creek will be in better condition this year
than ever before. According to the GUS
tom of last year hours will be set aside
for the boys and other hours for the girls
at the bathing place, and competent
guard will be always on duty to see that
no harm Details the young swimmers.

Soldier Who Is Not a lingo.
From the New York World.

From a tour of the world Gen. Jacob
II. Smith has returned home in q mood
that will lose him favor with our blood
thirsty jingoes. II don't think that
the country has any real trouble with
Japan," he says, bluntly. "At any rate,
/ don't think there will be any trouble
that cannot be settled by diplomacy"
When an old soldier. whose life busi-
mes has been fighting, and who is loyal
to his trade takes that rational view of
foreign affairs, 1t Is time for . few
eminent civilians to acquire a stock
of common sense.

For sore throat, sharp pain in lungs, tightness across the chest hoarseness or cough, lave the parts with Sloan's Eminent. You don't need to rub, just lay it on lightly. It penetrates insta ntly to the seat of the trouble, relieves conges- tion and stops the pain.
 Here's the Proof.

 No other gem holds many fascinating leg ends or haunting historical memories; they go back to immemorial time when the Incas wor- shiped the goddess Esmerelda in the person of stone as big ostrich egg and offered other emeralds to consort with it, so that the Span iards were able to seize the votive treasures of centuries. The five emeralds which Cortez stole from the crown of Montezuma were of enormous size, rough-cut in the form of sacred symbols of sex worship. Even Cortez so enamored of them that he refused to sell them to the empress and so lost favor at court.
