 This was the Tungsten filament lamp which-instead of the original l6 can de power or the fancied limit of 10 candle power gave actually 80 candles of light from the same 100 watts.

DECIDE NOT TO
TAKE AN APPEAL
Thirty-tive Western Roads Bow
to Freight Rate Decree.

Chicago, March 2.-Thirty five West
ern railroads decided to make no ap-
peal from the recent decision of the
interstate commerce commission deny
ing the roads increased freight rates.
They will accept the decree of the
commission as final.
The decision was reached at meet
ing of representatives of the roads at
the Western Trunk Line association
headquarters. The opinion was ad-
vanced by many that the roads would
be unable to make any stronger show
ing before the new commerce court
than they did before the commission
and that, once the new court had
ruled, it's decree would be binding for
two years.
1t also was argued that if the roads
comply with the decree without objec.
ton and withdraw the advanced tariffs
before March 10 there would be an OPP
portunity at later date to submit ad.
vances on certain rates, some of which
may meet with favor.

DROPS POSTAL RATE PROBE
House Defeats Plan for Second Class
Matter Investigation.

Washington, March 5.-Leaving out
the provision for commission to in.
vestigate all facts pertaining to second
class mail matter, the postoffice ap,
preparation bill was passed finally by
the house. In the last conference be-
tween the two houses the provision
was dropped out, disposing of the plan
to appropriate $4,000 for such an in
vestigation.
Chairman Weeks of the postoffice
committee, prior TO the final confer.
ence, urged the acceptance of the SEN
ate amendment. Representative Moon
of Tennessee, one of the house con-
ferees Oh the bill, ipin'sed tie amend
ment, declaring full investigation had
been made of all second class mail
conditions by previous commissions.
He held that until congress should
act on the report of the last postal
commission the apportionment of
new commission was not advisable.
The house agreed to the final con.
ference report without opposition.

FIRST PRIMARY IN CHICAGO
Merriam (Rep.) and Harrison (0em.)
Nominees for Mayor.

Chicago, March 1.-Charles E. Mer-
RAM, professor of political economy
at the University of Chicago, was the
choice of the Republican primaries to
oppose Carter H. Harrison, four times
former mayor, Democratic nominee in
the race for the mayoralty. Harrison
was chosen after a close fight in
which Mayor Edward F. Dunno never
allowed him more than 1000 votes
lead and in which Andrew Graham,
candidate of the so called regular"
Democratic party. dropped nearly TO-
900 votes behind. In the Republican
primaries Professor Merriam polled a
vote which almost equaled the COM
bined vote of his four Republican op,
p0nents.
It was the first test of a direct pri.
mary in mayoralty contest here and
the returns are taken to indicate that
the Independent voter turned out in
force.

His confidence is based upon an en-

driven by twin screws and having a
speed of twelve knots. This new liner,
which will have accommodation for a
limited number of passengers, will be
propelled by''two sets Of internal COM

Mr.. Ferguson declares these engines
will embody improvements which
have overcome initial difficulties con-

The charge will be ignited by COM

as well as for lighting the vessel.

says, will soon be a thing Of the past.

reposed on it's pedestal undisturbed
since Delegate Wickersham Of Alas

One outgrowth of the discussion Is
the suggestion that there should be

called on Thursday to act as referee

Pennsylvania Has Novel Reminder Of
Visitation.
James o. Kichline, veteran resi-
dent of North Bethlehem, Pa. has a
unique relic of the invasion in 1885 of
seventeen year locusts in that vicinity.
When locusts by the million overran
the country there he spent his spare
time gathering the insects. Then at
his leisure he made of them wreath
and star.
The wreath is composed of locusts'
wings, arranged in flower and leaf
fashion The stars center is also COM
posed Of locusts' wings, while the six
points are made of whole locusts. The
background of the star is made Of
leaves of locusts' wings.
The wreath and star stand two feet
high by three feet wide, and this piece
is but one Of many novelties made by
Mr.. Kichline, who is seventy-four
years old.

cause Of Failure of Senate to
Act on the Matter.

Washington, March 5.-The Sixty
first congress expired by constitution
al limitation and will reassemble April
4 in special session.
Despite the peril that threatened
some of the big appropriation bills al
most up to the last moment they all
finally got through and received the
signature of the president. The last
bill signed by the speaker of the house
was the postoffice appropriation act
The close of the session was excit-
ing in both houses. A filibuster in the
house was successful in killing the
tariff board bill.
The Canadian reciprocity agreement
died in the senate, the Mccall bill
embodying it's provisions having
passed the house only
Filibusters in both houses lasted un
til within d bare half hour of ad-
journment Much bitterness of feel
ing was exhibited, but finally the
blockade gave way and the session on
both sides ended with the usual felici-
tations, though the certainty of an ex-
ira session hung cloudlike over the
final moments.
In the house the venerable speaker,
Mr. Cannon, laid down his gavel prob
ably for the last time, after compli-
mentary remarks by his successor to
be, Champ Clark of Missouri, who led
the unanimous cheers Of the house for
"Uncle joe" The house took a recess
during which the speaker delivered
his valedictory
On being conducted back to the
chair upon conclusion of his speech
the speaker, at 1885 o'clock, declared
the house of representatives adj
journed. There ensued a scene of re-
joicing and song singing that was in
striking contrast with the more vio-
lent scenes of but a few minutes
before.
