7 Ohm McGRAW has gone

IOHN McGRAW has gone
to a well-earned rest
after as turbulent a ca
- reer as probably any
figure the sports world ever
knew.
1t was turbulent because
the man was so built; he
would not have had it any
other way.
PugnaciouS, QuarrelSome, bellig-
erent. He was all of these, and
clustering and boisterous to boot.
But back of the gruf exterior,
the taunting gibe and the war
like challenge was big heart
compassion, sympathy.
Down-and-outers never appealed
to him in vain. He was a mark,
too, for just plain panhandlers.
He could swing with one fist while
dispensing largess with the other.

tip-of on his character.
It was in the Spring of 81 at
Jackson, Tenn, where McGraw's
team was booked to play Wash
ington in an exhibition that never
materialized because of a verbal
row with the Giants leader that
led Manager George Mcbride to
take his Nationals off the field.
That evening at the hotel where
both clubs we're housed McGraw
met Clark Griffith and berated
him in such vitriolic language that
players, scribes and natives alike
obtained pointers on disparage-
ment and general vituperation, but
for every ''so-and-so" Griff was
called he merely replied that the
same thing went for his vilifler,
and no blows were launched.
Mac didn't mean those things
he said in the heat of his agita-
tion-and Griff knew it. They
had been friends, and they con-
tinued to be friends.

UTILITY RATES CUT
. BUT TAXES CLIMB
Associated Gas & Electric
Report Has Discussion
of Vital Problems.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, November 1.-The
complete report for 1888 of Associated
Gas g. Electric System, which will be
issued shortly, carries a forceful dis
cussion of the pressing problems of
rate reductions and higher taxes.
The report points out that rate re-
ductions in the Associated Gas & Elec-
trio System made during the year
1888 were estimated at approximately
81 100000 annually. This entire re-
duction is not reflected in the 1888
income statement, because these de-
creases in rates were made effective
at different times during the year.
Most Of these rate reductions were
made as the result Of political agita-
tion directed against all utilities dur
ing the last few years." the report
adds. Associated companies have,
wherever possible, tried to avoid the
expense Of rate cases which would
further reduce net earnings, and have
negotiated settlements with the re-
spective State commissions in prac-
tically all cases.
Serious Threat Seen.
Recent legislation in New York
State is designed to permit the New
York State Public Service Commits
sion to establish a level for rates
which will give utility companies a
return of only per cent, which is
a much lower rate of return than
formerly recognized as fair and rea-
sonable. Rates will probably be SUBJ
ject to further political attacks.
These attacks will continue until
customers realize that a few cents
less per month per customer, which
is generally the net result of such
reductions, is far less important to
them than the continued welfare of
the utility. Further rate reductions
may seriously endanger the ability of
the utility to carry on construction
work employing labor and to pay
interest and dividends.
"The steadily increasing tax burden
is matter which should demand far
more attention from the public than
the efforts to obtain rate reductions.
In 1888 the total of tax collections
Federal, State and locaD was about

John I. Mcfarland, general manager

necessary because of resumption of

The report states that taxes paid or
accrued by the Associated System
amounted to SO 9,691,133 in 1888; this
is an increase of IT per cent over the
So ,289 500 for 1882 and represents an
increase Of Sc per cent during the
three years Of depression since 1890.
The 3 per cent Federal tax on domes-
tic and commercial electric sales is re-
flected only partly in this increase, as
the tax was shifted from the GUS
toners to the operating companies
September /, 1888. The Federal tax
on the declared value of capital stock
Of corporations was also a new tax
which last year added substantially
to the Associated Systems tax burden.
Since the close of 1888 taxes have
been still further increased by the
revenue act recently passed by Con-
gress, which prohibits the filing Of
Federal income tax returns on consoI-

A good way to offset the
evil effects of tea is to put
rum into it. This makes 1t
taste worse. but it gives it q
certain stabilizing effect which
brings the blood to the head
and causes thinking. And
thinking is just what is needed
when tea is being served.
One of the worst features OF
tea is the necessity for eating
what goes with it. With cock
tails, or vodka, you have little
bits of inlaid crackers, or fishes
eggs on washers, and there you
are!
With tea go bread-and-butter
sandwiches. cookies, roast duck
and an old-fashioned New Eng
land clam-bake. English people
often have eggs with tea, which
is why they owe us so much
money. BY the time you have
had tea, you are enormous.
