INCREASE IN FREIGHT RATES ON LIVESTOCK SUSPENDED By Interstate Commerce Commission
 Until April f5.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Prcpcsed in- creased in freight rates on livestock, fresh meats and packing house pro- ducts from Chicago, St. Louis and other western centers to eastern cities were suspended today by the Inter state Commerce Commission until April 15 for investigation.
 It is estimated that had the in- creased rates been permitted to go into effect they would have yielded the roads an added income of nearly S10. 0.000,000 annually.
 The proposed advances affected not only livestock of all kinds, but fresh meats and packing house products of every description.
 On cattle, for instance, the increase would have been from 2S to S3 cents a hundred pounds between Chicago and New York; on fresh meats from 4o to 50 cents a hundred pounds; and on general packing house products from 30 to 33 cents a hundred pounds.
 Vigorous protests against the in- creases were made to the commission not only by the meat packers and live stock producers. but also by the gen. eral consuming public. The commits sion, in it's order of today, did not pass upon the reasonableness or the unreasonableness of the proposed ad- Vances. but indicated that they would be made the subject of an investiga- tion to be held at a later time.

COLONIAL THEATRE.
Ethel Barrymore in Five Reel Feature,

MIME. EVELYN scoTNEY, SOPRANO
Proteue of the Great Meiba.

Proteqe of the Great Melhas
 Some are born great while others have greatness thrust upon them. To be born great and then have greatness thrust upon one is seldom duplicated in the present day, but such was the faIe or fortune of Mime. Evelyn Scot ney of Australia, now of the Boston Opera company.
 As 8 girl in Melbourne, AuEtraltas Mne. Scotney, to quote her own words, never dreamed of becoming a grand music was the piano, but that was not to be. One night at Melbourne. while the great Melba was sitting in the audience, Mime. Scotney sang at 9, con- cert. MeIba was delighted; took her to Europe and insisted on coaching her personally. Later, through the inffu- ence of the prina donna, she became o pupil of Afarchesi and Tosti.
 While pursuing her studies in Paris and London. Mme. Scotney turned her attention to the concert stage, appear ing with great success. It was at a private recital in London that Director Henry Russell of the Boston Opera company heard her and made her an offer to come to America.
 Mime. Scotney's first appearance in Boston was small part in Thais. A few days later at a concert she sang the Mad Scene from Lucia. Of this the Boston Post writes: Mime. Scot uey sang her way into the hearts of music lovers in her first appearance at the Boston Opera company concert in the Mad Scene from Lucia. She rose upon the wave of popular favor, and all who heard her pronounced her a new star in the operatic Armament.

Sunday afternoon Rev. H. T. Arnold conducted the service at the Shelter ing Arms, taking for his subject the scene h the migration of tfss children of Israel where from the sHnitten rock came an abundance of water for all the oongregatien- The lessons drawn from this incident were, trust in those who guide us. Murmuring against Moses the Tsraelites murmured against God. Trusting the laws of nature, we trust God; obedience to the laws of physical, mental and the higher laws of the spiritual. Out of the hard places of suffering have come richest blessings, out of the rock srnitten in John Bun yan,s captivity came forth the Pil- grim's Progress.
 Three vioIins and the piano accom- paniment by skilful musicians made the musical part of the service de- lightfuI. At the close Miss Grace Harrington rendered in good voice the solo Jesus, Savior. Pilot Me. The vio- 1inists were Boue Stockwell, Manley Eastwood and Nelson Branci1e: Will liam Huber was at the piano.
