BLOW TO
z CENT FARE Law
Interstate Commerce Favors
Petition of Railway
Companies.

WASHINGTON, May e0-The Indiana
2-cent fare law was dealt smashing
blow by the Interstate Commerce COM
mission Friday. In decision affecting
equally the operation OF the 2-cent fare
statutes of Indiana. nlionois. Ohio and
Michigan the Interstate Commerce
commission rendered 1t impossible for
passengers travelling across these
states or any two of them. to buy
through tickets at cost OF cents
mile, but requires the passenger to
pay the higher charge fixed by the
railroads for through passengers. In
other words. the Indiana 2-cent fare
law is made entirely imperative by
the commissions decree, in 90 far as
lit might otherwise have any applica-
ton to interstate passenger rates.
In the future unless the courts step
In and make the 2-centfare laws apply
to interstate as we'll as to intrastate
passenger traffic, the traveller who
buys a through ticket will have to pay
more than the sum total OF local tick
cts under the 2-cent rate.
Example Shows Differences.
As concrete example, counting the
distance between Columbus. o.. and
st. Louis at approximately 400 miles.
the passenger who buys q ticket from
Columbus to St. Louis will have to
pay at least $40 for 1t. while by buy
ing local tickets from Columbus to
Richmond. Richmond to Terre Haute,
and from Terre Haute to st. Louis.
the fare would be approximately IS,
the passenger thus obtaining a reduc-
ton Of 81.
II the railroads should charge
cents mile for through tickets. 40
they may under the decision. the diff
ference would be 81 instead OF 81.
The decision rendered today has
been awaited eagerly by railroad COM
panies all over the country. It is the
first decree on the subject, and will be
the basis for all future decisions whore
similar questions are involved. Il
means that 2-cent fare statute can
have no possible bearing on railroad
rates outside OF the state in which It

"The Crown Prince" 1t said, whose
enthusiasm for the military career and

command with alacrity but will also
welcome the occasion Of extending. his

1T Is obvious that the removal of
the prince to a distant province, far
from the excitement and stir of the
capital, can only further his develop

the Scotch exhibition at Glasgow,
which is far more interesting than any
of the so-called coronation exhibitions
in this city. which have been created
for no other purpose than that of en-

are on view for the first time, and a
unique collection of Burns and Scott

RING WAS

Gold Finger Ornament Once

Especial Cable from the International
News Service.1
London, May 20.-In Christie's IA
nous auction rooms, where SO many
American art lovers have acquired a
great portion of the treasures that
now adorn their mansions. there was
recently sold rather insignificant
looking ring, which once caused the
death of an English queen and her
favorite.
The ring itself is of gold with back
arabesque foliage enameled blue In
to it is set sardonyx cameo carved
with portrait of Queen Elizabeth.
done by the anonymous Italian. who
also carved the famous portrait of
Henry VIII. now in the Royal collec-
ton at Windsor Castle.
AS for the history of the ring, Queen
Elizabeth gave it to the Earl of Essex,
at the time she was most passionately
in love with him. ordering him to keep
it and stating that whatever he should
commit she would pardon him when
he returned that pledge. Then the
Earl's enemies. having prevailed with
the Queen, caused him to be impeach.

against him for the contempt he had
shown for her beauty. lit was brought
to her that ne had said her mind was
as crooked as her body)
When he was condemned she ex.
pected to receive from him the ring,
and would have granted him his par
don, according to her promise and the
Earl. finding himself in the last ex.
tremity, would have sent it. To this
end he applied to Admiral Howard's
lady 1.-THE Countess of Nottingham
who was his relation, and desire her,
by a person whom she could trust, to
deliver the ring into the Queens own
hands. But her hus band, who was one
of the Earrs greatest enemies. and to
whom she told this imprudently
would not suffer her to acquit herself
of the commission. So the Queen con.
sented to the Earls death, being full
of indignation against SO proud and
naughty spirit, who chose rather to
die than implore her mercy.
Some time after, the admiral's lady
fell sick, and being given over by her
physician, sent word to the Queen that
she had something of great conse
quence to tell her before she died. The
queen came to her bedside, and, hav
ing ordered her attendants to with
draw, the Countess returned to her the
ring from the Earl of Essex. desiring
to be excused for not having returned
it sooner, since her husband had pre-
vented her. The astounded Queen
burst into furious passion. Shaking
the dying countess in her bed. she
cried out vehementiy that God might
pardon her, but she never could. The
Queen flung herself out of the cham
Der overwhelmed with the utmost
grief, because she had consented to
the death Of lover who had applied
to her for mercy.
