One of the funniest interviews of the past

"Ah. Mr. Iewaley, I forgot to speak about
the soap The finest soap you will find on
the market is made in New Knglan 1 by a

AS TO CARLOAD QUANTITIES
An Inter-Slat Conameree Derision of
Widespread Interest.
Wa-h im. tun ClTT, March 17 The inter
state commission Saturday, in an opinion
by Commissioner Bchooumaker, decided the
ease brought against the trunk Hues by P.
It. Thiirber and others, Thomas L. Green
and Francis H. Leggett & Co.. of New York
city, known as the "carload" oases, in favor
of the complainants. Complaint was mode
of too great differences in rate charged on
carload and lees than car'oad quantities.
The cases excited widespread interest, and
more than 4,000 persons, firms and corpora
tions doing business in various sections of
the country ill ! memorial? with the com
mission expres-in-f their vh ws for or against
the relief sought tor by the complainants.
The Principles I. u I Down. .
The commission roeogni ms the right of
classification and also tho '.gat of the rail
way to charge higher rate f 11- less than car
loads than tor carloads. But carriers are
not at liberty to Hassily iroperty and im
pose charges exclusively in their own inter
est; they must also respect the interest ot
the shipper. Neither is coai of servica alone
a controling element in fixing charges. The
value of the service must also 1 properly
regarded. A difference in rates upon car
loads and less titan carloai s which destroys
competition between large and small deal
ers is unjust and violative f the law.
Application of ti e Name.
There is no justification f r a difference in
rates between a solid carloa 1 from one con
signor and a carload made 1 p of like freight
in smaller quantities from d ffereut consign
ors. The official classification discriminates
unjustly as to the articles kr own as groceries
in carload and less than car oad quantities,
and a revision is necessary to correct this
injustice.

Hamlin, and he was at once aspired that,

charges of brila-ry against nearly all the
prominent officials of the state, apjieared in
the Sheridan house early Saturday morning,
McKenzie, who had been bitterly attacked,
approachisl llnmlin, grasped the lapels of
his coat and said: "What did you lie about
me and my friends for 111 your per;" With
this remark he laid his hand ni-oii Hamlin's

them ls.u,;iit a revolver and declared he
would sh.s.i Hamlin on sight. The latter,
however, snuffed danger from afar and left
town for home on an early morning train,

concocted a scheme to be r venged. , t
Hunted by I .... lo r
Thut niglit they in lu aa 1 the two girls to
take a walk with them. At some time dur
ing the stroll the m -n persuaded them to
drink a liquid they h id in a bottle, and
which they pretended themselves to drink,
asserting it was something new and delicious.
Soon aftar druikiug the young women be
came 111, and the men left ; h tu aud have not
lines been seen. The girls managed to get
home, though suffering terribly. Miss
Brooks died Saturday morning, and Miss
Askew cannot survive the night. Parties

Instantly killed W. W. Lewis in his store in

lynched in thirty minutes after committing
the crime. Lewis was sitting iu his store
when Stanton entered and began firing.
Lewis attempted to run, but was hit in the

The Bridegroom Came Not.
Elkton, Ml March 17. An unusual in
cident is creating much talk in Cecil county,
Md. Cards were issued for the wedding of
Miss Maggie Elison, daughter of a wealthy
farmer of Newcastle county. The ceremony
was fixed for H o'clock on Wedneeday even
ing, last. Forty guests had assembled to
witness the marriage, and the preacher,
Rev. Dr. Audurson, was on band, but the
groom failed to arrive, aud his coming was
awaited an hour. He has not yet appeared,
and the prospective bride is heartbroken.
Nothing is kuown of the groom's where
abouts. The Geneva Court House Fire.
Gkmiva, IIL, March 17 The ruins within
the walls of the court house are still burn
ing, aud, as no effort Is being made to put
out the fire, they are liable to continue burn
ing for many days to come. The consequence
is that nobody knows that the county rec
ords are safe, but it is believed that the con
tents of the treasurer's safe, worth $14,000,
are destroyed.

Philadelphia, March 17. Rt Rev. John

cupied the pulpit of the cathedral yesterday
and made an appeal for aid for the suffering
Chippewa Indians in his diocess He said
the government had stolen 1 1, Oi W O Ml acres
of laud from these Indians without giving a

on 5,000 acres of barreu, swampy und rocky

Scene in One of the llovela.
While visiting these people. I cut. r.sl the
bouse of an Indian. There was no food in
the house that day, but there w ere tears and
desperation. A poor old Indian woman bad
a puny, sick child in ber arms. She cried
for joy w hen she saw mo, thinking God had
sent relief to her children. She showed me
her child. There was not a pound of flesh
on its bones. I am sure that child is dead. 1
am not easily moved, used as I am to scenes
of misery in large cities, but 1 could not but
cry on that occasion. In one corner of the
room there was a boy 0 years of age. An
other was crying by the chimney place try
ing to warn bis shivering form, while an old
Indian was kneeling by the tire place mutter
ing, probably vowing vengeance on the
white race. At another hovel a poor man
of .S5 years of age was lying 0 tha froasa
ground lying on consumption, no one near
him but his jsKir old wife, who knelt over
him with a rosary in her hands pi ax tug Gisi
to take her huahaud. Night was setting in.
no light, no candle, no one to say a kind

A Liberal Appropriation.
"In another hovel I found t ha children
without cloiuing gathered around the lire
place plucking out the charred sticks that
they might roll in the warm ashes. The
Uuited States appropriates (5,000 to these
Indians, alsmt $! 50 to each. The amount
is spent in flour and fat pork anddi-tributed
anions them. The pork is sickening. 1 mv
