army was responsible for the letter
received by the authorities of Trinity

such letter was received in the
name of the Irish republican army
it was a forgery, the denial says:
1.-The republican authorities do not
send threatening letters, and any
such letters purporting to be from
the Irish republican army are from
some anti-Irish body or private in
dividuals. -.
Announcement was made on Friday
of the cancellation of the annual
athletic festival week of Trinity Col
lege in consequence of the receipt OF
a letter. said to be from the irish
rpublican army. notifying the col

On the whole. the idea that a soldier

to fall to the ground. Especially when

knowledge giving himself for three
years to his government and trusting 1t

Judge Crooker's voice had been
calm, his manner dignifed. But the
last sentences had been spoken with
quiet sternAess and with his long,
bony forehnger pointing straight at
MIR. Sneed. The other members Of the
committee clapped their hands in
hearty approval. Mr.. Sneed smiled
and brushed his trousers.
"We're all off our balance q little,
but what Is to be done now?"
'tWe must quit our plumbing and
carpenterfng and lawyering and bank
ing and some of us must quit mer-
chandising and sitting in the chimney

and go out into the woods and make
some fuel and get it hauled into town."
said Judge Croolzer. "I'll be one of
party to go tomorrow with my axe.
I haven't forgotten how to chop"
The committee thought this a good
suggestion. They all rose and started
on-a search for volunteers, except Mr..
.Sneed. He tarrled, saying to the judge
that he wished to consult him:on a pri-
vate matter. It was, indeed, just then,
a matter which could not have been,
more public although, SO far, the news
of 1t had travelled in whispers. The
judge had learned the facts since his
return.

that my heart was us pure as his. So

II fear 1t isn't" the Judge answered.
There's new look in the faces Of the
young. Every variety of evil Is
spread before them on tte stage Of our
little theater. They see it while their
characters are in the making, while
their minds are like white wax. Every

New Sweden. In 1855, Peter

Delaware Is next to the small
est Of our states. having an area
of only 2,370 square miles. Its
participation in presidential elec-
tions is limited to three electors.
This Is arranged according to
population. Each state Is entitled

ORDER RoADST0
INCREASE RATES
Texas Railways Must Raise Charges
to Interstate Levels-Revenue
Complications.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Railroads
Of Texas were ordered today by the
interstate commerce commission to
increase their state passenger and
freight rates to the level Of inter-
state charges effective April 2.
Lower passengers fares in Texas
tend to convert interstate revenue
into state revenue, the commission
said in announcing its decision.
This results from the common prac-
tice of rebuying tickets at border
points, paying the state fare in
Texas, and the interstate fare be-
yond the border, the statement said.
adding that the record shows that
at three such points on the Texas
& Pacific railroad, an average Of 120
passengers daily rebuy tickets to
defeat the interstate fares.
Regarding freight rates the COM
mission cited the situation as relat-
ing to cotton.
1.-The local shipper of Texas cot
ton receives the benefit Of the lower
state made rates, while the exporter
and interstate shipper are assessed
relatively higher rates." it said.
This is a typical illustration Of dis
ordinations affecting shippers
growing out of the change in the
relations between the state and
interstate rates"
