METHOD BY WHICH
REBATE MAY Be PAID
Judge Jones Issues Order
Concerning Excess Fare
ON L. and n.

Montgomery, August 49, = (Speeialo
Federal Judge Thomas g. Jones to-
day issued an order setting forth the
method by which holders of rebate cou-
pons against the Louisville and Nash
Vile Railroad company growing out of
the recent rate investigation, may col
iect the money due them for the extra
"a cent per mile excess of railroad
fare.
All claims for refund of money will
be docketed by the clerk of the court,
30 days being allowed the corrier to
file objections Should the railroad
company fail to file an objection with
the clerk of the court within 80 days
all claims will then become valid and
the company will be held responsible
If, on the other hand, the railroad
files objection to a claim the holder
of the rebate coupon will also be given
80 days in which to file objection
A large number of rebate coupon hold
ers have sent Judge Jones their claims
and they have been turned over to
the clerk of the court.
The Louisville and Nashville Railroad
company was required to put up $4,000
bond to guarantee the payment of all
the claims.

Americans Contemplate With Pride
the Time When Their Country

Credit Nation
By HOLLAND

New York, August Especial AS the
estimates and statistics which Sir George
Paish prepares for the London Statist
are regarded as authoritative, his recent
assertion in that periodical that the stake
of Europe in the United States is now
considerably over 5000. 100000, of which 81.
000,000,000 Investments in American rail-
road securities, is accepted here as ap-
proximately correct His figures, however,
are somewhat In excess of the estimates
that have been made in an offhand way
In the past year of the amount of the fixed
obligations which represent our debt to
Europe. The figures do show an extraor-
dinary increase over our fixed indebted
ness TO Europe since 1899. or else the
calculation made then of these obliga-
tions was far too small.
In the midyear of President Mckinley $
first administration, by general agreement
of view on the part of those who We're
we'll informed the United States owed Eu-
rope about $1,000, 100000. The greater part
of this debt represented borrowings in
Europe for American railroads. The
amount loaned upon railroad securities by
Europe between 1880 and 1884 was very
large. That was a period of very great
new railroad construction In the United
States. The excessive promotion of these
railroads and the ease with which money
was obtained in Europe to aid these un-
dertakings were chief among the reasons
for the collapse which brought on the
brief panic in 1884. In the view of ex-
perienced politicians of that time this
panic and reaction were the chief con-
tributing reasons for the triumph of the
democratic party at the polls in the fall
of 1884.
New Era After 1897
A new era began after March a. 1897
The legislation which was then formu-

which had been in progress for about four

We're built, the same land was offered for

Meridian can take it when 1t is ready for

roads, pays what he pleases for chickens.

choice because he must lose too much
time in going to market; if the roads are
bad he loses the value of the huckster's

to produce eggs or make butter If he can
not AFFORD to take the time to market
them. Five miles on the good roads is as
easy as mile over bad roads. 1t in

with considerable national pride the pros
peet that speedily the United States
would become, like the British kingdom,

when this is accomplished we shall in

The convict stepped out Of his ecu
and followed the head warder obedt-
entity Three years of discipline had
taught him to ask no questions. TO
demand NO reasons. He hardly dared
TO hope that the pardon board had
granted his petition
""Tention! Eyes front! said the

missive to the prisoner.
Graves read II and the governor
watched him curiously. The young
fellow had impressed him favorably
ever since he had entered the peniten-
tiary three years before to serve .
first sentence for forgery. He had
been q model prisoner; but he seemed
curiously hard. Even now he seemed
unaffected either by the letter or BY
his release. He folded the missive
and put 1t In the handkerchief pocket
OF his serge tunic.

He grasped the prisoners hand
again and dismissed him. Graves
went out. subdued and deferential
though he seemed. he remained total.
ly unmoved. The governor shook his
head as he watched him pass through
the doorway.
AZ a matter of fact, Philip Graves
was deeply moved. but for all that he
had not the least intention Of return
ing home. He took the train to the
capital and spent his money In two
days Of riotous living.
The second evening found him PEN
niless. 1t was cold and dismally wet,
and the long tramp through the dismal
suburbs had not raised his spirits. He
sat down on the sidewalk and buried
his head in his hands. That was the
first time he had ever seriously sonsid-
cred the future.

Graves felt in his pockets. At

where he could get all the whisky he
wanted for q dime-if he chose the
