Auerbach's Cellar.
e Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
A world-famous curiosity is about to
disappear at Leipsic. This IL Auerbach's
cellar or drinking place, which owes its
special celebrity to the fact that Goethe
located in 1t the scene in Faust in
which Mephistopheles standing upon
wine cask. takes his flight into space. to
the stupefaction Of the drinkers. The old
building in which the cellar Is found was
built by DR.. Stromer DAuerbach between
1880 and 1888. and the worthy doctor be,
gan by putting there the wine which he
intended for his own use. Later, as the
wine was good. he conceived the idea Of
selling 1t. and in this way was estab-
lished the tavern to which his name has
since been attached. From the earliest
years Of tho seventeenth century legend
placed in this cellar the famous adven-
ture OF Faust and Mephistopheles
Goethe, studying at Leipsic from 1765 to
1768, frequented the cellar, and there
talked with his friends Of art, literature
and politics. and later turned the legend
to account.

COvingiOn Against Railroad
Monopoly

Strong pressure is being brought to
bear upon Representative j. Harry Cow
ington. of Maryland. for a modification
of his bill now before the House, pro-
hibiting railroads from owning or con-
trolling coastwise steamship lines in
competition with them. MIR. Covington
has not yet been convinced, however.
that il would be wise to leave any loop
hole whereby the railroads might evade
the law he has asked Congress to pass.
In speaking of his measure MIR. Cow
ington said
.'My purpose in offering this bill was
TO guarantee To the shippers OF the
country that competition between the
water and rail lines which the natural
advantages of a particular section OF
the country might provide. ! stand
squarely upon the proposition that the
railroads have no right to monopolize
water routes which would otherwise
give the people natural competitor.
THE coastwisc traffic Of the United
States should. in the nature of things,
be free from railroad domination and
the purpose of my bill is to keep the
railroads off the water route. This APP
plies 20 the coastwise business no less
tnan tne fdndthd Naiia ttah'e SUI" " oe
developed.
Not only is it the purpose of the
MARYLAND Congressman to prohibit If
possible the railroad control of steamer
lines of this character. but he wants the
law to COMPEL the rail lines TO issue bills
of lading and TO throw open terminal
facilities TO the independent steamer
lines upon exactly the same basis on
which they do business with their own
water connection.
Ii is not known when the House will
take up the Covington bill for action.
but the friends Of the measure refuse
to listen To privately conveyed argu-
ments against the bill. They are tell
ing the people interested in the railroad
side of this question to place their in
formation in the hands of friendly Con
gressmen who can debate the matter
upon the floor Of the House.
