MIXED TRAINS.
First CIass Fare, FourthClass Trains,
Says Labarre.

Representative Charles F. Labarre,
Seventh Ward, New Orleans, and who
will sit as a delegate of the constitu-
tional convention, has opened war on
the mixed trains operated by the
railroads throughout the state. He OBJ
jects to paying "tirst-class fare on
"fourth-class trains" and has address
ed the following letter to Shelby Tay-
lor, chairman of the State Railroad
Commission, at Baton Rouge:
With reference TO the mixed trains
operated by the various railroads in
the state, | feel obliged to complain
about the amount OF fare charged for
passage
As you well know, these mixed
trains are, in fact, freight trains to
which a trailer is attached for the use
.ot passengers; this trailer is usually a
coach discarded as being unfit for use
on the main lines. In some sections
OF the state an ordinary caboose is
used for the accommodation of both
tralnmep and passengers. The fare
charged for transportation on these
mixed trains is 3 cents per mile, the
same as is charged for travel on the
main lines in the often luxurious coach
eS provided for passenger service by
the companies.
i ask that you rule that the service
afforded by these mixed trains is in
ierior TO that on the main line on
passenger trains, and that the compa-
MES be prohibited from charging more
than One-third of the regular passen.
ger fare per mile; upon the failure of
passengers TO provide themselves with
tickets cents per mile; providing that
there is ticket office at the place
where passengers board trains, in de-
fault of which such passengers shall
not be charged more than cent per
mile.
The service on these mixed trains
is worse than fourth-class, and it is
absurd that the companies should be
allowed to charge a first-class fare, vet
tickets purchased for use on these mix
ed trains read: 'tirst-class fare

TO work, then their owners are given
instructions as TO their care and treat
ment. Since the introduction of the
motor cab, which abOundS in our cit
les. and makes getting about not much
more expensive than travelling on the
street cars, the drivers of hansOms and
fOur-wheelers have been sadly crowd
ed to the wall. Not a few of them
have been starved out. In many cases
they have not earned enough TO main
tain themselves and their horses, and
so there are the surgeons in the hos
pital to help when their horses give
out for lack of sufficient food. When
the motor-cabs and trucks takes the
places of vehicles drawn by horses We
will not have so much cruelty to ami

METHODIST NOTES.

The Ladies Bible Glass of the Meth
odist Church held its second business
and social meeting on Tuesday evening
at the residence of Mrs. II. J. ThOmp-
son.
There were thirty enthusiastic mem
bers present and all spent a most en-
jOyble evening.
The business was first attended 20.
Five new members were enrolled. The
class name was next decided upon.
After various suggestions the class
vote was taken and finally the name
of The Cleaners" was chosen. The
class hopes soon to have it's members
number forty and more. At the con-
clusiOn of the business a vocal solo was
rendered by Miss Irma Daniels and
piano duet by Miss Bertha Albrizzi and
Mrs. Thompson, both being much en-
joyed.
After the program, a number Of
games and contests were participated
in, provoking much laughter and
amusement. Several new contests were
introduced by Mrs. Thompson, for
which attractive souvenirs were given.
Refreshments most dainty and deli
cious were served by the young ladies
present.
Mrs. Thompson proved herself such
a charming hostess that every one was
genuinely sorry when the time came
to depart and each left with the wish
that the meetings were to be held ev-
cry night and not only once a month.

MOUNT OlIvET NOTES.

A very important meeting OF the
Woman's Guild will be held at the
rectory next Tuesday night, and very
large attendance is expected.
The boys of the Brotherhood of st.
Andrew need some more long handles
for the crutches that they are going to
make for the free clinic of the Charity
Hospital and therefore ask their many
friends to save them the mop handles
for that purpose A new batch is UNI
der way, but the hospital authorities
request longer ones than the last sent
over. Please notify the rector if you
have any handles of this description
and he will tell the boys about it.
1t is indeed a pleasure to listen to
the singing of our choir and it is a
matter of rejoicing that We have such
a good choir as We have now. Prac-
tice on the Christmas music is already
begun.
The lecture given by Rev. DR.. Hud-
son Stuck, ArChdeacon of Alaska, at
Sophie Newcomb Hall last Monday
night on The Ascent of Mount McKin-
ley" was replete with interest. The
illustrations were remarkably clear eX-
cepting the last two or three, which
were taken when the party was nearly
frozen, and gave a good account of the
difficulties encountered in the thrilling
ascent. 1t was our rector's privilege
to have been a classmate Of DR.. Stuck
at Sewanee, and it was a pleasure to
see him again.
The quarterly meeting of the Louisi-
ana branch of the Woman's Auxiliary
will begin on Friday tomorrow night
with a Program Meeting" at Trinity
parish house Quite number of our
own members will take part in the
meeting, and We hope to have a large
delegation present at both this meet
ing and the regular session on Satur-
day The Saturday session will open
with a celebration of the holy COM
munion at St. Georges Church, st.
Charles avenue and Cadiz street, at 10
a. N. Dinner will be served at the
Rathskellar at 2:3O p. M, when there
will be a few short addresses.
Don't forget the entertainment to be
given on Dec 4th and 9th. \ good
time will be given TO all. Watch the
papers for a fuller account.

l.. =. Norton, vice-president Of the
Switchmen's Union of North America,
made il evident that in event Of a
walkout of all the forces the 5. p. will

The "Sunas," as the Switchmen Of
North America are called, are deadly
enemies of the Brotherhood Of Train
men, and have more than one old
score to settle They are known as
"scrapperS" from the tap of the gong,
and during trouble, either with the
bosses or other unions, they wear on
their coats badges which bear the sig
nifcant emblem of a snake coiled and
ready to strike.
Mr.. Norton came down from Chicago
and, it is said, had a conference with
some of the Southern Pacific officials
The officials in New Orleans, however,
won't talk strike. and no confirmation
OF this could be obtained, but Mr. Nor
ton was a familiar figure in Algiers
around the Southern Pacific shops for
the past few days, and he made no
secret of his mission.

the soldier of fortune of We olden time,
he has gone to offer his sword to the

Switchmen Of North America have a
very big organization, and Mr.. Norton
could bring as many skilled men to
the South as might be required.

A FIRE.

(Eustace Voegtlin-Sth A Grade.)
A floor-walker in a factory had a
habit of smoking, once he entered the
factory with a cigarette in his hand
and the boss ordered him to throw it
away. When the boss entered this
department, the fioor-walker would
throw the cigarette down and put it
out or put il in his pocket so it would
not burn his pocket. After the boss
left that part of the store, the floor
walker would sit on the table, where
one of the working girls were and
would light a cigarette. One day he
lit a cigarette and threw the lighted
match on the floor, into some of the
lint which ignited quickly, and the
building took fire.
All the girls began to run and work
their way through the smoke.
In the upper department the en-
ployer's daughter was sleeping with
her head on the desk, suddenly she
awoke and saw the smoke coming in
through the key hole. She tried to
open the door but it was locked.
The boss rang up the alarm. The
engines had to come a long distance
and the employer asked a friend of
his to climb the rope to save his daugh-
ter. When the man reached the place
he carried the girl in his arms and
showed her the way down the rope
