 About the Discrepancy.

Boston, Oct. 9.-The public service commission in the course of today's hearing on the petition of the Hamp- den Railroad corporation for permis- sion to issue s2,500,00o bonds, tried to learn why the cost of grading the if teen mile road was S123,Q00 when the estimate for the work was only $15,200 The Hampden road was built to give the Boston and Maine direct line into Springfield.
 H. $. Ely, counsel for the road said that as the matter had not been called to his attention previously he could not with certainty state the reason He suggested that possibly after grad ing had been completed and the tracks laid it might have been discovered that the road was not strong enough to hold the weight of the heavy traffic planned for it, thus making additional grad ing, work necessary. Even then, he said, he could not account for so great a discrepancy between the estimate and the amount indicated in the sChed- uIe filed with the commission.

The Presidents View.

The president let it be known that he did not think the views of the Bos- ton bankers convention, as they bore on the currency bill now before the senate, represented the general public sentiment of the country. In the pres ident's view, the attacks made on the bill by the Boston conference repre- sented the activities of men whom he believed to be acting with sincerity, but who as individuals refused to yield their position of control of the coun- trY's financial system.
 The expressions in the senate were more emphatic.
 An "Organized Conspiracy"
 T think this Boston meeting had for it's obvious purpose to work up opposition to this bill' said Senator Owen, and either to force the bank ersN view or to delay or defeat this bill"
 Senator Thomas talked of an "or- ganized conspiracy" to misrepresent the president and impede legislation: Senator Overman declared the Boston conference did not reflect the views of the general public; and Senator Owen answering question by his demo- cratic colleagues said he believed there was an organized propaganda against the bill that found it's reflection in the Boston conference and in the various state bankers conventions which have adopted resolutions criticising the cur rencV TnPa sure

most of US have been affected by it.
But say, my brother-sister, have you
tried it yet? I have-twice. First, I
tried it on very dear friend Of the
other sex, and she began to get nerv-
Gus like she thought l was trying to

pre-eminently no flirt. Next tried it
on brother in my lodge and Sunday
school, and he SHE'D off like he ex-
pected me to ask him for a loan. So
after this l shall water my flower beds
and raise nice bouquets for funeral
occasions exclusively. Very few peo-
