Reiqn of the Dandies,

In the matter Of dress we have fallen
upon decline since the days when the
Duke of Wellington was refused ad-
mission to Almacks because he was
wearing trousers instead of breeches
and silk stockings, Even Almack's,
however, had to admit trousers within
its closely guarded portals the following
year. When Gladstone was up" at
oxford the reign of the dandies was In
full swing. When late in life he re-
visited the university to lecture to the
undergraduates ON Homer he was
asked by G.. w. Il. Russell whether he
noticed any difference between his au-
dience and the men of his own time.
Yes he replied, "in their dress an
enormous change. l am told that l

most highly connected and richest men
in the university, and there wasn't one
whom | couldn't have dressed from

HIS HOLINESS IS
FREE FROM fever
Pain and Swelling In His Knee
Are Gradually Vanishing.

Rome, Aug. 15.-The pope passed
a good night and today his physicians
found that the pontiff was free OF
fever and that the pain and swelling
in his knee are gradually vanishing
His Holiness was well enough to leaN e
his bed and rested in an arm chair.
The pope asked his phyiciau when
he would be able to resume giving
audiences. The physician advised that
he have plenty of rest and abstention
from work during his convalescence.
Receptions at the Vatican in which
the pope was to have part have been
put off until the weather becomes
cooler. His holiness is now taking
food, but his weakness is consider
able and makes necessary the utmost
caution. The slightest imprudence oil
the part of the pope is most likely 10
prove fatal.
The anxiety which has prevailed at
the Vatican since the pope became i'll
has been relieved The only care of
the authorities is to keep the pore
quiet.
Much comment has been caused in

veto the choice of pope shall be
communicated. In other words,

ished. Otherwise the regulation GOV.

APPLICATION DENIED.
Commission Refuses B., R. & E,
Right to Construct Road.

For the Second Time the Public Serv.
ice Commission Has Refused to
Grant the Prayer Of the Railroad,
Claiming That There Was No Neces-
slty for the Building Of Road-other
News Items.
For the second time the New York
state public service commission,
Second District, has denied the appli-
cation of the Buffalo, Rochester C
Eastern Railroad company for certl-
licate of public convenience ald ne
cessity, and for permission TO con.
struct o steam railroad across the
State between Buffalo and Troy. The
decision was by the unanimous vote
Of the commission.
The commission passed adversely
on previous application on March Is,
1909, and the following year an ap-
plication for rehearing was made
and granted. An analysis of the sItu-
alton at Buffalo shows in great detail
that the proposed road does not in
fact connect with the Grand Trunk
at the International Bridge, but only
extends as far as the LaclIawanna
yards at Black Rock.
That there is no place for a local
freight station nearer the lnterna-
tional Bridge than at Ontario street,
beyond the point where the tracks
of the Lackawanna cross the tracks
of the Central.
That it would be impossible. were
the road constructed, for It to obtain
pound of freight from either lake
boats or existing elevators without
using the facilities of other roads
which, it is claimed, are inadequate
for handling the existing business,
and the inconsistency of supposing
that the road could ne well served by
facilities which it now claims are III
adequate. is dwelt upon.
II is the plan OF the applicant to
construct its own elevator and dock
facilities at point down Niagara river
near the Wickwire steel plant, and.
therefore. the construction of the
road would bring no additional bust.
ness to the elevators at Buffalo since
all of the grain elevating business
handled by the road would have to
l.o ho ln6 OF ftst ri fNla ~
The situation also involves the re-
suit that passenger traffic could not
be brought within i've and one-half
miles of the center of the city upon
the line of the road itself and no
freight could be brought nearer the
business portion Of the city than
Black Rock, without resorting to eX.
listing facilities which the proposed
road thinks should be superseded.
1t has not shown any delays in
handling any eastbound through
freight coming from the west either
by rail or water and delivered to ex.
listing rail lines at Buffalo since 1907.
The commission finds, after a re-
view Of all the evidence that the cost
Of the proposed road would be not
less than SlO0,0OO,O00. The adequacy
Of the existing through facilities is
next considered, and it was shown
that upon the former application each
and every commissioner reached the
conclusion from the evidence that the
then existing facilities were adequate
for the then existing through traffic.
