What means this novel and uncommon news

cnce OF the strong armed man of the law, the law
oF a vulgar and sordid world Of which Arden is
no part? philosophical anarchist seems TO have

gab clubbed in its holy temple, knocked in the
head where II should be worshipped? Surely the
guiding spirit Of Frank Stephens is not the job.
II is all mysterious to us. There must be some
mistake. The Ardenites should restore peace by
erecting baseball score board in the economic
temple so that the Single Takers philosophical

New York reports say the shrewd lawyers who
look after the interests of the Standard Oil and
Tobacco Trusts have found a way to get round the
decision of the Supreme Court. If the holding
company scheme should be contrary TO the gov
ernments conception of the law, proceedings
would have to be brought. These might finally
reach the Supreme Court, and there would be a
long delay The reasonable clause in the Supreme
Courts decision leaves many loop hole, and the
Government is probably far from catching the
trusts as ever

WOMEN AS LETTER Writers


Women, it is generally admitted,
write better letters than men. NJ.
Marcel Provost has learned the rea-
son for this superiority. "The OBJ
vious meaning is never the one we
should read into a woman's letter.
There is always a veiled meaning Wo-
man makes use of letter just as she
employees a glance or a smile, I'm a
way that is carefully thought out and
with an eye effect And, after all
does woman's hat serve to cover her
head? Does a woman's parasol keep
of the SUM- Are a woman's shoes
good for walking? Why, then, should
a woman's letter serve 10 convey her
real thoughts to the person addressed
just like the letters of some honest
grocer who writes I send you FIVE
pounds of coffee because he really
does send you five pounds of coffeeT

II was learned officially last night
that the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
has at last decided to break away
from its observance of the West ytr-.
ginia two-cent passenger rate law.
Beginning July LIST, the B. & o. viii
charge d uniform rate Of three cents
a mile on its lines in West Virginia.
The new rate sheets have been IS
sued and are now in the hands Of the
ticket agents in all Offices throughout
the State. Just to illustrate the
change, the new rate from Fairmont
to Wheeling will be $2.S4; while the
present rate on the two cents a mile
basis Is $3.50.
1t is understood that the rate sheets
issued yesterday do not specify the,
Ohio river division, but this line
doubtless will be included, as there is
no apparent reason for an exception
being made.
1t is said that pending the decision
Of the United Staes Supreme Court in
the appeal OF the case of the Chesa-,
peake & Ohio and Coal & Coke rail-
roads, the Baltimore & Ohio, following
the example of the c. & o. will issue
certificates with each ticket purchased
representing the different between the
fare now to be charged and the two
