EXPRESS RATES
CAUSE TROUBLE
Many Patrons Dissatisfied With
the New Tariff

Since the new express rates have
zone into effect the public in general
and the customers of the express oiii-
,cs have expressed themselves i'm many
instances rs being dissatisfied with tn"
new tariffs Their grievance is. l.
many cases, on the new rates, whici
were supposed To reduce the cost ol
sending packages by express, but H.
most instances are much higher. The
new rates went into effect February |
The only persons who seem to ID"
satisfied with the new rates are the
mail order houses because Of the fact
that the rates on small packages are
much smaller than formerly. Where
the dissatisfaction seems To come is On
the rates relative to fruits, meats and
lutter and eggs. When the old rates
were in effect perishable goods could
Ne shipped at a lesser charge per hun
drcd pounds than a hundred pounds If
merhandise, this being due to the tact
that such great quantities of this mat
hrIal were shipped 10y the merchants
Of Chicago and other large cities
Articles such as above mentioned came
under "A term which was known as
general special" and applied to only
perishable goods.
Local merchants were i'm the habit Of
sending and receiving articles of this
nature by express because they could
send them by this reduced rate and
the goods would spoil on the road If
shipped by freight. Commission hous-
es, for example, shipped ana received
great quantities of these commodities.
nearly all fruit and articles which
would come under the general special
rcquircments being shipped by eN-
press IN lieu of freight. These dealers
are the sufferers from the new tariff
ana are the ones who seem To he dis
satisfied
Persons receiving small packages
ind that the new tariffs are more
favorable in most instances. The cost
oI sending a package weighing six
pounds to Chicago was formerly sixty
cents ana the package may now be
sent with a charge of thirty-one cents,
Several of the dealers of Houghtor
nave also expressed themselves as dis
pleased with the new rates and one
dealer stated yesterday that he has
found the cost of fruit from Chicago l.
twenty per cent higher Than formerly.

little else but an orthodox knowledge
of punching, coupled with brute
strength. A greater mistake never
was made. Boxing is an art, and in no
branch of sport is the human note so
developed, and l challenge any on
10 name one wherein the emotional
element is more predominant. There
is something so Intensely, primevally
masculine about it the wonder to me
is that it does not rank in the general
mind as the grandest Of all forms of
athletics. Here is a sport which not
only develops the man, but discipliues
his lower nature. Far from developing
brutal instincts, it is an ennobling
sport-one that. while developing the
stiff protective spirit within him, also
instills the quality of mercy. This is
the real boxer, for | am not abiding
to the few exceptions who are a dis
grace even to hemselves.-George
