Wall Street Hears
Carriers May Keep
Lower Fares
Eostern Roads Cut
Rates for Christmas
And Fair TruveI
BY the Associated Press.

IS Vic ASSOClAlcu 1EcSS.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Wall Street
hears the Eastern railroads, which
are lowering passenger fares for
the Christmas holidays and New
York World Fair travel, may keep
permanently the lower-fare sched-
ules when the World Fair is over.
Eastern territory rail fares are now
212 cents a mile for coach and 3
cents for Pullman travel, the high
est in the land. However, special
reductions have been announced for
the Christmas season, and sched-
ules posted for 1899 World Fair
travellers chop rates down to as little
as IA cents mile for round "trip
coach tickets, or as low as prevail
ing rates in any section of the
country.
Coach Rates Boosted.
On July Is of this year the East
ern carriers jumped coach rates to
2l2 cents mile from cents, hop
ing revenues yielded up by the
boost would offset any decline in
number of travellers. Results, how
ever, did not come up to anticipa-
tions.
August, a vacation travel month,
from the passenger standpoint was
reported as the worst in many years,
and Labor Day business was dis
appointing.
If the Christmas holiday and
World Fair reductions boost busi-
ness by any discernible degree It
1t likely strong pressure will be
placed on managements to main
tain the lower rates as a perma-
nent proposition, according to opin-
ion in railroad circles.
Since the Government turned the
carriers back to their private own
ers after the World War there has
been frequent criticism of the pas
senger fare structure. From 1920
until 1882, when the Nation was
rapidly becoming automobile mind
ed and bus lines were beginning to
web the country, the railways firmly
maintained the historic 3.6 cents
per mile rate. giving reductions
sparingly and usually only at holi-
day times.
Western Lines Lead.
1t was late in 1882 that the break
IN the 36-cent rate came. Western
carriers reduced fares for Chicagos
Worlds Fair. In December, 1898.
Southern systems swung into line
alongside the Western roads, also
posting reductions. But Eastern
roads remained aloof. However,
special rates were set up for Chi
cago's Worlds Fair travel. but when
the fair was over back snapped
Eastern tariffs to the 36-cent rate.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission in Washington, holding the
pulse of railway trends, noted pas
senger travel under reduced fares
was climbing in the West and the
South. Finally. in 1896. it ordered
Eastern roads to install basic rates
of 2 cents a mile for travel in coach
es and cents in Pullman cars.
These rates held until July of this
year, when Eastern carriers obtained
I. c. c. permission to advance coach
rates to 2i2 cents from 2 cents.

Gesundlleit! Hay Fever Goes to T o W n! - Sneeze Season Formally Opens-Relief
 Promised"
 Victims.

Sneeze season is now in full bloom. So announces the New England Museum of Natural His tory today with the installation of it's exhibit-of- -the-week demon- strating the cause of hay fever and remedies for that pernicious affliction.
 Chief offender blooming at this season is ragweed, a feathery look ing, tall-growing weed of- road- sides and waste places. Scores of hundreds of sneezes, raw palates, headaches and general stiffness are traceable to this green-leaved evil-doer, an immigrant to this country from foreign shores.
 Companions i'll crime, but to a lesser extent, at various seasons of the year, are blososms of oak trees, and a host of grasses in- cluding timothy and orchard grass.
 Pollen grains from these plants are blown far and wide by the wind and lodge in the throat and nose when we breath. Our mem- braneS absorb from the pollen grains certain protein chemicals that are poisonous to many per- sons. Not all persons are sus- ceptible and not all persons are affected by the same plants.
 The Remedy
 1. First have a physician find out what particular plant you are sensitive to and have him tnocu- late you with preparation made from the pollen of that species. 2. Start a vigorous campaign to pull up or cut down BEFORE TOWERING TIME, all the rag weed you can reach. Unless neigh boring towns cooperate with you in this, 1t will do little good, for the wind carries pollen long dis tanceS.
 3. Avoid districts where the plants to which you know you are sensitive are growing.

Jesuits Arrive In
 Philippines Today
Band of Nine to Take Up Mission Work; Distinguished
 Members of Order 10 Sail From Vancouver

and college of industrial chemistry the San Jose Seminary, which is the Apostolic Seminary for native Filipino secular priests administer ed by the Society of Jesus; the Sacred Heart Novitiate at Noval- iches, includes noviceship, juniorate and philosophy courses for Filipino Jesuit students; the entire weather bureau of the Philippine Islands is conducted by fathers of the Society of Jesus.
 Leper Colony
 The largest leper colony of the world, located on the Island of Culion, has for its chaplains Jesuit priests. Most of the Island of Min- danao, including two missionary dioceses of Cagayan and Zam- boanga, is under the guidance of Jesuit missionaries. The Most Rev. James T. G. Hayes, S.J., DID,, bishop of Cagayan, and the Most Rev. Luis del Rosario, S.J., DID,, bishop of lamboanga, American and Filipino bishops of Cagayan and Zamboanga dioceses respectively, are the spirit ual shepherds of the vast flock of souls most of whom are still, after forty years, neglected and uncared for in a spiritual way. The work of resurrecting these missions is not a work to be done in day or a year, or by one man or even a hundred men. The missionaries now leaving for the Philippines will slightly swell the large number of Jesuits already in the field. There are 241 Jesuits now attached to the missions of the Philippine Islands.

It is quite easy to make such a blending, for many passages-both in Old Testament and in New Old Testament and in New-dwell upon the blight that comes to character as men have become degraded with indulgence in strong drink.
 Here, first of all, Is the word of the wise man in Proverbs, possibly a collection of wisdom that repre- sented more than the judgment of any one individual. At any rate, 1t is the Judgment that is well en- forced in the experience of man.
 What is the way of health and safety and true attainment in life? It is, first of all, the way of wisdom. It is the way of uprighteousness. It is the way of instruction in which one would be well equipped with knowledge. It is the way of good ness, avoiding evil, turning from 1t, and passing on. It is the way of honest toll, and eating the bread that comes from honest toll. It is the way of avoidance of violence and of all that would rob man of his senses. his judgment, and his will-particularly strong drink.
 In contrast to the way of evil is the path of the righteous, which is as "the dawning light that shi- meth more and more unto the per- feet day." The warning is all summed up in the words, Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life"
 The few words from Paul's let ter to Thessalonians are con- mentary upon his appeal to the wise men of old.
 Paul bids the Thessalonians be watchful and sober.
