WRIT HALTS CUT IN
 COMMUTERS FARES
NEW YORK CENTRAL AND NEW HAVEN ROADS WILL NOW
 GIVE REBATE CARDS
 WITH TICKETS.
WRIT (
(thv %?

RIT 4GhV
 New York, Feb. 2S-Commuters who purchase monthly tickets on the New York Central and New York, New Haven and Hartford lines today will receive rebate cards. The issuance of these cards follows the signing of a writ of certiorari in Albany yesterday by Justice Chester, of the Appellate sDiyieion of the Supreme Court. This swrit acts as stay of the order of sthe Public Service Commission of the Second district that all fares in cer- tain suburban region be reduced. The fares will be the same as those in effect prior to July, 1910.
 Commuters had always been able to purchase their monthly tickets three and four days before the first day of each calendar. month, but this month the New York Central officers were awaiting. the signing of the writ and no tickets have been sold. Yester- day and the day before it was report ed that the New York Central had decided not to issue any monthly tic- kets.
 F. L. vosburg, general passenger agent for the New York Central lines, in a statement issued yesterday, said that the railroad did not intend, now or in the future, to discontinue the sale of computation tickets.
 ''The Public Service Commission, Second district" said MT XoSburg, recently issued an order directing that certain of our commuters fares in our New York suburban territory be re- duced to the fares which were in ef- feet prior to July, 1910. We appealed from the order of the commission, and the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court has issued a writ of certiorari which will stay the operation of the comm ission's order until such time as a further and full review can be made by the courts
 s'The tickets will be on sale today, at the rates prevailing since July 1910. Pending the final decision of the courts, all passengers purchasing tic kets for points within the territory af- fected will receive a card which, if the court of last resort decides sss oeSiect the difference between the price paid for the ticket and the price lt which it was ordered to be sold by the Public Service Commission
 We regret that there should be any difference between us and the Public Service Commission, but we feel that in view of the increased cost of railroad operation in every direction the communication fares which have been in effect on ou1 z.nes since July 1910, are not unrea- sonabIe and are low can be made in justice to ourselves and the passengers
 The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company will issue rebate cards with single trip tickets as well as fifty-trip and communication tickets.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
 
Quince Seed Cosmetics
BY BLANCHE BEACON

Quince seed beauty preparations! It sounds alluring, does it not? Doubt less you have heretofore heard very little of quince lotions and creams as until just recently these cosmetics were practically unknown in this country, although all the vogue on the Continent.
 Bear in mind when making Quince cosmetics that these beautifying prep arations have one drawback. Sad to say they generally grow rancid in three or four weeks. Forwarned be- ing forearmed, you should take care not to make up a large supply of any Quince cosmetic. This also applies to other cosm etics-aItho in a lesser degree-as the fresher they are the better work they will do.
 The usual way of making the dain- tiest of Quince seed skin whiteners is to put two drams of bruised Quince seeds into half a pint of water and let it simmer slowly, with an occa- sional stirring until it is reduced to half a cupful.
 Miladi should now strain lotion through a square of thin cheesecloth and add two ounces of glycerine. As it would not do to own a non-scented d lotion, I suggest that a drop or two of oil of rose or lavender be beaten into this quince preparation at the last, just before it is poured into a wide-mouthed, porcelain jar.
 There is no better preparation than this for whitening, softening and heal ing the hands. It must be left on the skin for five minutes, then wiped off with a ball of absorbent cotton.
 If you wish to also own a quince cream, then ali you need do is to mix one dram of cold cream with an equal quantity of sweet almond oil and add, with constant stirring, one ounce of the quince hand lotion-spoken of

GETS S25,OOO TIP
Pfttsburgher Rewards WaIdorf's Traf. fife Manager by Gift to Daughter.

New York, Feb. 28-Bel1 boys, head portens and all others who serve and also stand and wait, will learn with envy of what is probably the largest tip ever received by a hotel empIoye. The person who is to receive this gratuity is Josephine Hodges, 10 days old, the daughter of E.. T. D. Hodges, manager of the Waldorf Traffic De- partment. A trust fund of $25, 5,OO0 has been established for the little girl by a rich steel man of Pittsburgh, who does not wish his name disclosed
 Hodges, from behind the head DOT ter's desk at the Waldorf, told last evening how the good fortune came to his daughter He said that for twelve Or fourteen years, he had look ed after the Pittsburgher's baggage and railroad transportation when he was in New York, bought his steam ship tickets, routed his private car and looked after his mail. In all this time, Hodges said, he had never ac- cepted a gratuity of any kind from the patron of the house.
 Well, I'll get you some time," the rich man once remarked.
 I had married," Hodges asserted last night, ''he said to me: Well, I guess I'll have to fix up the heir to the throne.'
 q thought he was merely joking, and laughed with him. The other day when he came in I told him that I was a father, and that my daughters name was Josephine. The Pitts burgher asked if he might see the child He came up to our home, and semed very much pleased with the youngster. A few days ago received his check for $25,OO0, to be put in the bank as a trust fund.-

RULES
TO LENGTHEN THE
AMATEUR SEASON
MUST DECIDE CAPITAL CITY WIN
NERs AND CITY CHAMPIONS
BEFORE LABOR DAY

The schedule approved by the ANA
teur Baseball commission at the be-
ginning OF the amateur baseball sea-
son was upheld by the commission at
It's meeting last night and the Capital
City league season will not be officially
closed until August 3eth.
The difference In the standing of the
Grays and the Collegians is so slight
that there is a possibility that the Sat-
urday games may decide the race In
their league. Should this occur 1t will
be unnecessary for them to play out
the full season, and the winner will
In all probability meet the victor In
the Old Dominion circuit on the fol-
lowing Saturday. That. however. will
be definitely decided by a special COM
mittee appointed last night for the
purpose and which will meet Monday
night after the results of the coming
Saturday games are known. II the
games played then do not decide the
Capital City race. this committee will
revise the schedule for the remaining
games so that all may be played. the
inter League contests decided. and the
Richmond champions play the first of
the inter city games with Washington
on Labor Day.
The arrangement Is not considered
at all satisfactory. as II Is felt that
whichever team qualities for the inter-
city games will be handicapped in
having TO go into that series after
steady grind of double headers here
during the preceding week, However.
from a financial standpoint 1t is al
most necessary that the game be
played on Labor Day as the Washing
ton commission has secured the
American league park for that date.
and unless the game is played then
II will be impossible to use that park
until after the close of the American
league season. II Is felt that q good
crowd is assured II the game is played
on Labor Day.
DIR. Price, manager Of the Grays,
declared that IL was immaterial to
him as TO whether the schedule was
played out. but he felt that the games
for the city championship should be
played early enough to insure the
team representing Richmond against
entering the competition for the silver
cup offered the winners of the inter
city series under a handicap.
The question as to which of the rules
should govern the closing of the
league was decided by those drawn up
by the commission during 1912. They
say that the schedule shall close by
August 5th unless there is good cause
for ieugthening the season. The COM
mission held that in view OF the fact
THAI rain forced the opening to be de-
layed a week and had also caused the
postponement of q number OF games
during the season there WAS good
cause for extending the time.
The Washington commission has
been invited to come to Richmond to
arrange the intercity series and the
following committee was appointed
last night to entertain them while
here: DIR. Price. Messrs. Montgom-
cry. FoIkes and Gunst.
1t was decided TO start at once up
on a campaign looking toward a bet
ter financing of the amateur league
here next season and a special COM
mittee was appointed to devise means
for the carrying out of this idea.
