livelong day, from sunrise to sunset,
he insisted on being placed In his
wide porch. whence he could still
oversee his beloved town, and gaze
at the noble prospect. with its con.

and shadows. Only nightfall drove
him within doors.

the town to the house on the hill.
Shading his eyes from the binding
glare Of the nearly level sun rays, he
peered downward for some moments
before responding. Then. saying la
conically:
Jest comm up the RISE" he re-
turned to his seat and his task.
Shortly there became audible the
soft thud Of hoofbeats and the creak-
ing OF straining leather, punctured by
the cracking Of whip and the en-
couraging "cluck-cluck" Of the driver.
The road curved behind the house.

POSTPONE HEARING
ON FREIGHT RATES
Railway Attorneys in $5oo,ooo,.
600 Suit Unable to Prepare
Necessary Papers.

NEW YORK, Aug. I5.--The Inter
state Commerce Commission hearing
on the application of Eastern railroads
70 advance nearly all freight rates,
which was set to have begun to-day
In New York, was this morning post
poned until 10 o'clock on the morn
ing of September I.
The delay was occasfoned by the
fact that the attorneys representing
the railroads had been unable to COM
plete their preliminary work. The
government and the shippers asso~
Citations represented did not oppose
the postponement.
The proposed tariff increases will
amount, Ii liz said, to more than $780,
100000 annually. The advance is dis
tributed among 4I3 transportation
lines. The increases were to have
been effective November /. but we're
voluntarily withdrawn by the rail-
roaus, pending the passage OF the re-
GENTLY enacted railroad rate bill and
the investigation by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
The hearings are to be held In the
custom house lit New-York, and to
be conducted by G. N. Brown, chief
examiner of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
All the railroads in the East will
be represented by their leading coun
sci. as will the various shippers as
sociations and the Interstate Com
merce Commission
Under a ruling by the commission,
the burden of proof that the advance
is necessary. will rest on the railroads
which will therefore first present their
side OF the case.
