More Than Passive Part.

II Is understood that government
agents mt El Paso report that Sena-

part In frightening Orozco off. Just
what action was taken. the govern

II is estimated he might have com

expressed In the senator's recent
speech In the senate on the Mexican
situation, II seems tlrat Orozco had
accepted the conditions, the official
statement says, when he brusqucly
and without IA known motive. changed
his action completely. There In no
official data on the causes which
brought about this change. but from
reports that have been received, It
seems that the determipation Of Or

The crowd was shouting and bowling

everyone seemed to go crazy. That
was one big trouble. They couldn't
shut the people up: Roosevelt had a
hard time making his speeches. the
crowds cheered him so.

Lure of Colonial Mirror.

Gazed there ever a man in the face
of an old mirror the life of which
dates back to Colonial days, without
seeing therein come thoughts OF
powdered wigs, silk brocades, charm
ing couples dancing the minuet and
bowls Of punch?
Mirrors of the Colonial period have
survived the ravages of years and
can be found in nearly all the eastern
states and Canada. II Is doubtful
whether any mirrors were brought to
this country much before 100, for It
was not until 1910 that they were
made in England, although one may
bs able to pick up some very old
specimens in Canada, as mirror max
ing flourshed in France in the early
part of the eighteenth century.

DANCES FOR TIE PARENTS
Hurdy-eurdies With Old Peasant
Tunes Cause Delight In New
York's East Side.

Not long ago a picturesque expert
ment was made by number of men
and women who are interested in
the welfare of the lower east side.
AS folk dancing has proved so popu-
lar with the children of the foreign
residents of the city. as shown by the
eagerness with which they have TAX
en- up the dancing lessons given In
the public schools, the interested
men and women decided that their
parents might also be pleased with
the opportunity OF joining in some OF
the peasant dances with which they
were familiar In their youth In the
fatherland. With this idea in mind,
a number of hurdy-gurdy players were
persuaded to put into their machines
records of the old native dance tunes
to which the residents of the east
side had been accpstomed to dance
at home
OF course the records had first to
be made, but this was done and a
number of the hurdy-gurdies equipped
in this manner were started on trt
umphant career
And were they successful? Well, It
wasn't a question as to that. With
the first sound of the well known
strains the men, women aud children
of the east side came tripping out Of
their houses mad with delight and
breaking into their native steps the
minute they reached the sidewalk.
1T was the greatest success in the
world" declared one of the promoters
of the project. "The only trouble
was that it was too successful. They
blocked the streets and the sidewalks
and impeded traffic so that the police
men had difficulty In getting things
started again. It was perfectly
idyllic in theory, but, after all. Grand
street isn't village green and 1t
didn't really dot wasn't possible.

Mr.. Reed. who, as is well known. had
opposed the acquisition of the islands

Mr.. Choate, urging that surrender

RATES ARE NOT EQUAL
UNIFORM CLASSIFICATION MADE
CLEAR IN TALK.
General Freight Agent PoVeleite,
Eucidates Transportation
Problems.

Acknowledgement Freight Agent
H. A. Povelette of the Queen
an Crescent Route, spoke on
Uniform Classification" at the
monthly meeting and dinner of the
trifiic branch of the Receivers and
Shippers Association of Cincinnati
At the Business Mems club here. Presi-
dent Maurice ]. Freilberg and Com
missioner Guy NJ. Freer, of the parent
body, also spoke.
Mr.. Poveleite argued that a uniform
classification does not mean that all
rates in all parts of the country will
be the same He said in part:
"The carrier manufacturers one
commodity, transportation, which he
must sell, and the price he receives
is fixed by natural laws just as surely
as are those of other manufacturers;
the statutes give merely a further
regulating force from which other
manufacturers are in a measure free.
THE statement has been made by
one authority that the traffic officials
of a railway NO more make the rates
than does a brakeman on the line.
The rates are fixed by commercial
conditions, and are merely recorded
by the traffic officials.
The situation is exactly illustrated
il the case of taxes. A tax rate OF
AZ mills really conveys no idea Of
the amount of taxes paid unless you
know the assessed valuation of the
property taxed; and the assessed val
uation carries no real meaning unless
the rate of taxation is known.
For instance, last years rate of
taxation was approximately 80 mills;
this year it will, l understand, be Is
mills. This does not mean so per
cent. reduction in taxes, for the as
sessed valuations are on a new basis.
Nor does the application of the
uniform maximum tax rate of Is mills
mean that the same property will pay
the same taxes all over the state. A
hundred-foot lot on Fourth avenue
will undoubtedly pay a much higher
tax than a hundred-fpot lot in Ma
deira, although the tax rate may in
each instance be the same
"In considering the question of a
uniform classification, the same con-
ditions are met. The tariffs, or rate
scales, in the different parts of this
country have developed according to
the commercial conditions peculiar
to each section, and the classifications
have been subjected in the same way
to commercial influences Of varying
scope"
