 Phoenix. Arizona
 Dear Sir:-Referring to cur tall, this morning on the subject of live stock rates from Arizona to Southern California; beg tO advise that after fully considering the matter, the Santa Fe lines cannot consistently reduce their revenue to the extent which would be involved by the publication of rates suggested by yourself and your associates at the Ash Fork con- ference but offer to publish from Phoenix and common points to Los Angeles and common points the fol- lowing rates:
 Cattle. per 3G-foot car $I20 in lieu of the present rate of SI26S5.
 Sheep. per 36-foot single deck car $SI.50 in lieu of the present rate of SsS.5O.
 Sheep. per 36-foot double deck car Sl25 in lieu of present rate of S150.45
 We appreciate the fair spirit in which the live stock interests have met us in this matter and regret that we cannot more nearly meet your views. but the Santa Fe lines feel that the rates offered are as low as can consistently be made
 MT. Barnwells letter of January 18th and accompanying statement handed you show in detail the rates on beef cattle, range cattle and sheep from points on A. T. & S F coast lines in Arizona which that line stands ready to publish upon ad- vice that they are satisfactory to the shippers. Their publication will make substantial reductions in rates on both cattle and sheep from many points to southern California and believe you will find them on a con graduated basis.
 Copy of that letter and statement have been mailed to Mir Tomlinson and I will hand you an extra copy of this letter to be forwarded to him.
 Mir. Barnwell will be glad to dis cuss these main line rates further with you or Mir. Tomlinson if you so desire or I will be gald to give you any further information can re-

JUSTICE P1TNEY AND HIS HOME AT NOR
RIsTOwN, N. J.
Governor Fort and would have had
three years more to serve. In the four
years during which he has filled the
place of chancellor he was compelled to
render decisions IN hundreds of impor-
tant cases yearly. His position as one
of the country's leading jurists Is re-
gardcd among New Jersey people as
we'll earned. As chancellor OF the
state in which nearly all Of the coun-
try's largest industrial trusts are In
corporated he has had opportunity to
become thoroughly familiar with the
legal aspects Of the trust question.
Chancellor Pitney in the fall of 1891
was married to Florence. eldest daugh-
ter of William II. Shelton Of Norris
town. In appearance he does not look
his age. He is clean shaven. and his
handsome face is strong and rugged.
He is tall and commanding in appear
ance and Of affable manner. He takes
an active interest In outdoor exercises.
In casting about for successor to
Justice Harlan Mr.. Taft first looked
beyond the Mississippi river. At one
time It seemed certain that he would
name Judge William 9. Hook OF the
United States circuit court. and again
It seemed that Secretary Charles Ma
gel Of the department of commerce and
labor would be the presidents choice.
There was protest against Judge
Hook because Of his decisions in two
Oklahoma cases. one involving the two
cent fare law and the other the jim
crow car law. The latter case, IN
which Judge Hook decided in favor of
the railroads and against the conten-
ton of the negroes affected, Is said to
have been the final cause OF the pres1-
dents turning from the Kansas jurist.
Labor organizations protested against
Secretary Nagel on the ground that he
had been too lenient in the enforce
ment Of the immigration laws.
With the naming of Justice Pitney
President Taft has had the extraordi-
harry experience Of having constituted
majority of the highest tribunal In
fbe land. In addition to naming five
new justices on a court of nine, Presi-
dent Taft also had the distinction of
elevating Associate Justice Edward d.
White to the chief justiceship. making
IN all six supreme court appointments
during the three years he has been in
the White House. The five associate
justices named by Mr.. Taft were

Description Of old-TIme Baby Raising
That VIII Make Modern
Mother Shudder.

The original nursing bottle was a
cows horn, to the small end Of which
were sewn two pieces Of leather, as q
finger of a glove, and the infant drew
its nourishment between the stitches.
According to DR.. D. Forsyth, fifteenth
century mothers used to nurse their
babies for close upon three years, q
duration still customary among the
Japanese and Greenlanders. In the
time of the Stuarts it had declined to
between eighteen months and two
years. In the time of the Georges 1t
fell to one year, and now he reckoned
the average as eight months.
During the Hanoverian period the
practice of feeding babies artificially
became somewhat common. Cows milk
was not then considered just the food
for baby deprived of it's mothers
milk. and the substance called pap"
was introduced through the cows
horn. Pap" was a mixture of crust,
water and sugar. A baby that thrived
on it was usually one of rare constitu.
ton.
