THE RAILWAYS IN 1896

with two i:ti:iTios traffic w as tiii: lic;hti:st sim-k iss-j. Tlie MkIiI WoHt-Iloiiiul Iliislnci!s the Cm useThe Pit MeiiKr llulnes: 3In!o an tufa ornhle i:hibit. The following exhibits, which are gathered from the official train record of the fifteen roads centered at Indianapolis, showthat in the year 1 ''. there were received air! forwarded at this point a total of l.l'ei.OPJ can, a decrc-aso, as compared with 1:.. of 4;.-rrr. Of the total number handled. M".T' "i w re loaded, a decrease in loaded tar movement of iJ1.0v, being the lightest loaded car movement of any year, except lCd and Pr3, since 10. The decrease in business began with January and continued through the entire year. The heaviest month's business was in December, when 8.510 fewer loaded cars were handled! than in December, iv.5. The lightest month's business was in July, when only C.0:W loaded cars were handled. The other ten months the exhibit. of 1W, as compared with those of l-'..'t were not so unfavorable, but. the year through, the volume of traffic was disappointing. A review of the business of Hhows, eastbound, an increase In export freight of corn and corn products, and an increase of shipments of provisions, but a falling oft in shipments of flour and live stock. In but ono or two years in the history of the roads have the shipments of corn in November ami December been as large as in IV;, most of them for export, being via Iialtlmore. Newport News and Norfolk. The shipments of live stock, taken the year through, were in excess of those of 1SJ3. and in dressed meats there was au average tonnage handled. Shipments from Kansas City and St. Louis were in excess, via Indianapolis, of any former year, and the shipments of local packing houses were in excess of any former year; especially in the last six months of the year were they heavy. The through shipments of cotton are estimated to have been about 1" per cent, in excess of those of IVm. In westbound business the through lines suffered seriously. A freight official who has given th matter much attention states that the shipment of the higher class freights, such as dry goods and millinery, were :50 per cent, llgnter than in 1MC. and really the lightest of any year since lvSi'. In the lower class freights the shipments of sugar and heavy groceries exceeded those of while in hoots and shoes, iron structural work, coal and coke the shipments westbound were almut 2-" ier cent, lighter than in Had the west-bound business been up to tho usual average there is not an Indiapolis east-and-w est line that would have not shown average earnings for the year lvi. The dullness in freight traffic set in with the beginning of the year, and in the months when the be-st earnings are usually made the traffic was the lightest. The hrst half of the year the shipments of produce from Indianapolis proper were unusually light, but in the last six months the shipments of provisions, poultry, eggs and butter averaged well with former years. The depression in business in the towns and cities which draw their supplies from the Indianapolis markets caused a marked falling off in local shipment to such points. Some improvement was shown, however, in November and December, but. taking the year through. th shipments from the commission houses fell fully 2'i per cent, below tho.?e of W3. Street improvements and the large amount of building during the summer increased in-bound business for the local lines quite handsomely, large quantities of stone brick, asphalt, water and gas mains and lumber swelling the tonnage. The pros perity of the local packing houses, coupled with that of the Indianapolis stock yards and the Indianapolis hnrs1 market, were very important item's. It should be borne in mind that the business of KV locally was very satisfactory, while in l a large number of manufactories were shut ('own and the shipments of manufactured goods were the lightest in many years. The IP.g Four proper handled at this point nearer its average number of loaded cars than any other of the lines. but the im provement was entirely with . the Chicago and Cincinnati divisions, both the St. louis and Bee-line divisions handling a lighter traffic than in 1'.. The Pennsylvania lines did the lightest business of any year since P:t2. The andalla handled an average cf l.!i0 cars per week, a decrease of about 100 cars tier week as com pared with IS'..". The Cincinnati, Hamil ton c Dayton showed but a slight decrease in the number of loaded cars the road han dled at Indianapolis, a scarcity of cars only preventing its reaching the 1V. movement. The Monon in IN-'; did the best business dnce running into Indianapolis, but in 1S!'; dropped a few hundred cars below 1SJC. but wholly on south-tiound business, its north bound business out of Indianapolis showing an increase. The Indiana. Decatur & Western, the first eight months of the year, had light business, but the last four months its volume of traffic was governed largely by the number of cars it could command. Tho Peoria & Kastern hail a poor year. in but four months of the year showing an average movement with former years. The Lake Lrie & Western makes a favorable exhibit out-bound, but its south-bound busi ness was 20 per cent, lighter than the year lsi.. During the year lWi this road took out of Indianapolis an average of liftytwo cars a day. The Louisville division of the Pennsylvania lines make an unfavorable exhibit. The Indianapolis & Vincennes handled more loaded cars than did the J.. M. & I. Shipments of coal, corn and live, stock over the Indianapolis & Vlncennes compared favorably with IWi, but in its out-bound business the 1. & V. was a little off. There is one feature of the year's business worthy of note. What business was carried, except corn, when the tlfteen-cent rate from Chicago to New Vork was in force, was carried at better rates than prevailed in either year since 1SV). Uelow is given the loaded-car movement at Indianapolis, by months, for the year 1V, ami the movement for the corresponding months of four preceding years: 1M"J. 1,4. lsfCi. lttS.

The year 1S w ill long be n numbered bypassenger men as one of hard work and a disappointing volume in travel. The first halt of the year travel averaged well with that of corresponding periods of former years, but was not up to expectations. The last six months of the year were disappointing in volume of busiress. .o that, taker, as a whole, the rassenger business of k..; fell below that of 1 "". Inquiry among the passenger men show that in only one feature did it reach expectations, and that was on Sunday, when one fare for the round trip between all iolnts prevailed on all the Indianapolis lines. This Is the second year that such .1 practice has prevailed, and the results have been very satisfactory. The one-dollar rates made to Cincinnati and Louisville made a favorable- exhibit, but did not reach expectations of the passenger men. The Niagara Falls business was, practically speaking, a failure, persons wishing 'o make sucn an excundon not being xv tiling to pay the rate whkh the Joint Traffic Association piipo-cd t nf'ori'e. HopeH were ente rta in 1 that the j)!iiioal e.-mpaign would generally s.-ll revenues, but such .s not the ease, only the two loads that reached Canton having mud., any money cut of the campaign. Through hulnes with the IV.nhandle. the .Vandaha, the Uig Four, the Motion ar.l tlie Cinein-r..-ti. Ilimiiton A- Dayion was nearer in vidunie that of lv9. than was expected. In fact, taking the year thtough. earnings from through business, it is stated, will

compare quite favorably with 193. The Knickerbocker express on the Big Four. Train 2 on the Vandali.i and Pennsylvania lines and th new fast trains over the Monon and the C.. H. & D. were popular and did much towards maintaining the average earnings on through service, and in good years would have been great winning cards. local travel on all lines was disappointing. Passenger men state that only In December could travel be said to have been up to exudations, and not in the last twenty years has local travel on the less imjortant railways as light as In lvj;. The last three months of the year showed some improvement ov r the first nine months, but the (J. A. H. business and the State and county fair business were the lightest in many years. Passenger men, however, seem somewhat encouraged over the fact that holiday travel was so satis-

laciory. and th"y begin tne year witn a feeling that there will be a general increase In travel in lvj. The mileage book was probably used to a greater extent in 190 than in any former year. Despite the fact that it Is claimed they were so guarded that only the actual purchaser could travel on them, they really were handled more oy ticKet scalpers and other persons than the original purchaser than in any former year, lne new mileage book, it Is expected, will do away with much of the use of mileage by persons who should pay full local rates. Passenger officials who have given the matter attention estimate that through travel was 3 to ." per cent, lighter than in 1S9.1, while local travel was 20 to 21 per cent, lighter, which means a sharp decrease in passenger earnings. It Is further stated by well-informed officials that Indianapolis showed nearer average receipts from the sale of tickets than any other station on such systems as the Big Four and the Vennsyhania. Passenger men enter the new- year with ? strong belief that the results of their labor for 197 will be more satisfactory than they were for the year 182(5. Receivership In 1 K!). The Railway Age publishes a length- article on receiverships and foreclosures of last yearl in which it shows that during last year thirty-four roads, with 5,4 11 miles of lines and a bond and stock capitalization of about $273,600,000, joined the list of railways operated by receivers. The most important failure of the year was that of the Baltimore & Ohio, with 2,091 miles of road and over 121 millions of bonds and stocks, besides heavy floating debt and arrears of Interest. Tne bankruptcy of this old and formerly prolltable company was discouraging evidence of the effects of unlimited competition. The other notable failures include the Iouisville, New Albany & Chicago. HOI miles and 24 millions of liabilities; the six roads forming the Vandalla system, aggregating nearly to0 miles and 24 millions of bonds and stock; the Pittsburg tv Western, involved in the embarrassment of the B. fc O.. 3"2 miles ana W2 millions, and two related Kastern roads, the Central Vermont and Ogdensburg & Lake Champlaln. eovering 77s miles of road and nearly 17 millions of investment. The other insolvents represent smaller mileage, although the aggregate losses Involved to bondholders, stockholders and other creditors are by no means insignificant. In 1S9G no less than S roads were sold for their creditors, representing 13.730 milts of lines and the enormous capitalization of over $1.1.A000.000. as the following table shows: Among the principal systems that have thus passed through the costly ordeal of reorganization are these: Detroit. Lansing fc Northern. ::2) miles. 9li millions of bonds and stock; Grand Hapids & Indiana, 436 miles, 110 i millions; Chesapeake. Ohio & Southwestern. "99 miles. 21 millions: Oregon Hallway and Navigation. LOCI miles including a leased line sold separately and r.:;L millions; Norfolk & Western systemthree separate sales 1.577 miles and 1232 millions, and two vast systems. Philadelphia & Reading, with 1.277 miles and 237 millions, not counting the heavy separate capitalization of Its Coal and Iron Company, and Northern Pacific, a combination of 4.4'"S miles of lines with a capitalization of the parent company aggregating 241 millions. It is easy to write tens of millions and hundreds of millions, but the mere statement gives little Idea of the immense loss to investors which is involve! in the process of receivership, sale and scaling down of obligations necessary to starting out on a new career. Scalper Hnl a Hail Year. The local ticket scalpers there now being six offices, against four one year ago say they have had no reason to complain. They admit, however, that they have not made as much money as in some years, for the reason that some of the lines have guarded the mileage looks so closely, esiiecially in the early part of the year, that people were cautious about purchasing tickets. One of the scalpers says the year l'.l was one of their best years, and the sales of 190 will drop several thousand dollars below those of 1'", which showed an increase over 1S94 of nearly $12,0nt. They look ahead to the coming year with some anxiety, as the new 5.ooj-mile interchangeable- mileage book, if the rules under which it is issued are strictly enforced, will make it a bail book for the scalpers to handle. One of their number says that the class of travel which will purchase the ."'.i'00-milo book, as a rule, are not patrons of the scalpers, and so long as the l,0u;)-mllo book Is issued the scalper can still thrive. One unfortunate things for the scalper is the short limit which is now given on excursion tickets and the difficulty they have in getting tickets good over either of the Kastern trunk lines, a source from which in years past they derived a handsome revenue, but still there are road that will welcome the business they get through scalpers, and, as one of them" said: 'What the present year will bring to us I cannot say, but I would not take $2'W a month for what I expect to make above all exenses in 197 as a partner in the rirm of which I am a member."

SUGAR AND COFFEE FIGHT

Altnif KLKS AMI If AVK.WKYKHS AUK avac;i.m; a ri:li:tli:ss war. How the Present Difficulty Originated mill Iti Probable ITfTeet on Other Amerieun Ilu.lnccM. Chicago Chronicle. Out of the coffee and sugar war which is now being wageel between the Havemeyers and Arbuck!s there promises to come something- of benefit to the consumers of both commodities unless a settlement of the trouble is not soon effected. It is a light in which thrifty housewives may well resent the interference of arbitrators and, following the example set by the old trapper's spouse, cry with fervor, "Go it, old man; go it, bear." There, has been, as yet, no noticeable reduction In the price of either sugar or coffee outside of the territory in which Me dispute began, but a general slashing of the values of all grades of both articles is looked for by well-informed dealers If the fight lasts much longer. As the contest goes on some of the hitherto well-kept se-crets of the sugar trade and the coffee trade, which are of interest to the general public, as they Illustrate the business methods of the parties involved, are becoming known. For years the Arbuckle brothers John and Charles were kings in the packages coffee business and accumulated large fortunes. Charles, who was a bachelor and of strongly convivial disposition, achieved considerable notoriety some years ago by playing one of the leading parts in the celebrated "Baby Bunting" scandal. The ridicule which was flung at him from all sides, coupled with the fact that he had to settle a judgment obtained by the woman for something like $50,000. drove him Into retirement and a few months ago he died. Since then the control of the business has been entirely in the hands of John Arbuckle, a shrewd, keen-witted man of exemplary habits. There are several stories in circulation concerning the cause for the fight which is now being made against the Havemeyer syndicate, but the one most generally accepted in trade circles Is that he Is trying to "butt his way." as the gamblers put it, into tho Sugar Trust on the ground floor. HOW THK FIGHT STARTED. One of the principal features of the Arbuckle outfit is a large wholesale and jobbing grocery house In rittsburg, which is used as a distributing agency for the coffees handled by the firm. In connection with this store is operated an ingenious weighing and packing machine which puts sugars, coffees, spices and similar goods up in packages ready for the retail trade at a small fraction of the. cost which a similar process entails in other houses. This machine is controlled exclusively by Arbuckle. and it was in the operation of it, so the story goes, that he drst saw an opportunity to bring the Havemeyer people to terms. Securing an immense stock of sugar, he packed it In small parcels and put it out to the trade at cost or a tritie less as a "leader" to force the sales of his coffee. Remonstrances from the trust were of no avail. When, his stock was exhausted Mr. Arbuckle found lie could no longer get sugar on the terms which he thought the magnitude of his order warranted, and he bought up the product of the nontrust concerns, and in addition to this arranged to Import a lot more. It was at this juncture that Air. Havemeyer- took a hand in the light. Mr. Arbuckle began fitting up a plant in Brooklyn in which to retine his importe-d raw sugars, and the Havemeyers reHaliateel by securing control of the Woolson spice and coffee mills in Cleveland and entering boldly into the sale of package coffee in competition with the Arbuckle brand. It was given out at the time the deal was made that the Havemeyer syndicate hati actually bought the Woolson plant at a big price, but men Jn the trade think it is leing run on an option and will pass back Into the possession of the original owners as soon as a compromise i- effected between the warring merchants. The Havemeyers. it is understood, bought at the outset an option giving them the right to take e'.even-eighteeenths of the stock of the Woolson Company at a stipulated price at any time Within ninety days, the product ef the mill to be in the meantime under their control. Their first movement was to cut the price of package coffee 2 cents a pound. MINORITY SHARKHOLDKRS OBJKCT. This brought signs of disapproval from the minority shareholders, who saw no reason why their profits should be endangered to advance the interests of the Sugar Trust, and there was an intimation that injunction proceedings might bet la?gun to stop further operations in this direction. To prevent a move of this sort the Havemeyers bought an option on the seven-eighteenths of the stock which had been left out in the first deal, and aro now In full possession of the plant and will le until the option expires. If the little dispute with Mr. Arbuckle is not settled by that time, it is possible the property may lie purnhase-d outright. If peace is declareel before the ninety days is up. as many dealers think it will be-, the option will be caneeeled. the mills will re -ert to the control of the shareholders and tlie normal conditions of trade will be resumed. In brief, according to the observations of impartial merchants. Havemeyer Is holding the Woolson .mills as a club with v;hich to drive Arbuckle out of the sugtrade, and the latter is using his proje-ctei! refinery in Brooklyn su-i a club to force !Iaemeyer to give him a share in the profits of the trust. Arbuckle and Havemeyer are both men of bulldog tenacity, far-seeing in business venture.; and of practically unlimited capital. A fight between them to a finish m-pns something more than an ordinary cutting of rates and trade disturbance. It Involves measures beyond the- reach of any but financial giants, and under other conditions might affect lines of business which have 110 visible connection with those over which the dispute exists. But as it is. the only men likely to suffer are those immediately involved, and they and their associates arewell able to stand the loss. The more they cut price-s the better the consumers will like it. The protits of the lighters may be materially reduced for a time, but the general public will benefit by it. FKATURKS OF THK TRADK. The trade in package coffee is a peculiar one. and at first sight seems to afford but a very narrow margin of profit. Such fortunes as have been built up by the Arbuckle.s and others, however, give proof that there is a great ileal ol Tioney in the business. Coffee is sorted by the inspectors into nine grades, as follows: No. 1, prime: No. 2. good: No. 3. fair: No. 4. low; No. 5, good ordinary; No. G, ordinary; No. 7. loxv common; No. S. strictly good common; Nr. 9, good common. No. 7 is taken as the standard for basing prices on and the quotations made on the New York city Coffee-- Kxchange, both for actual delivery and speculation, are for that grade. The average price for No. 7 spot is now about 10ls cents a pound. No. 1 prime is emoted at 4 cents over No. 7. which wouiel make the wholesale price of the best coffee obtainable through the orellnary channels of trade a little over 14 cents a pound. It is tieldom. hoxvever, that any No. 1. or even No. 2 or 3. coffee reaches the market, the quantity that Is better than No. 4 being very sma'l. Thi is the sort generally sold at a fancy price by retailers. It co:s on the wholesale market 12-S cents. Before it reaches tho consumer it must be roasted, which shrinks the weight about one-tlfth. aiai this, with the expense of roastltiK. makes the real cost about 10 ce.its. Most of the coffee used outside of packages "is of the grade known to the trade s "good 01 dinar-" ami costs as it leaves the roaster something like 15 cents a pound. By the time it reaches the consumer tho price has advanced to at least 35 cents. Package coffee is supposed to le made of the No. 7 grade, but there is not much of this kin..! put up. No. s, which sells at cent a pound under No. 7 and even No. 9. which can be bought 1 ceqt . cheaper than the standard, are the grades mostly used. MONKY IN PACK AG K COFFEE. At the present prle paid f No. 9 the cost of a pound of package coffee may be accurately figured out as follows: Coffee. 9vi cents; shrinkage in roasting. 178 cents; cost of roasting. 1 cent package, 1 cent; total. 1 1 cents. Besides this there Is the expmse of doing buslnes rents. Insurance, interest, clerk hire, drayage. etc. to be paid. This package coffee is sold to retailers at 15 rents by the case, and out of this 2 cents margin must come all the incidental i

expenses and profit. That men get rich in the trade is because they handle the stutT in immense quantities. The paekage-coffre trade is largest in the country districts. There are sections of the United States in which coffee in the berry is rarely seen. For years the people have used the package variety and know no other. The business is an immense er.e. and is growing fast. From the country it is spreading to the large cities, where the cheapness of the package, compare I with the loose e-offco, commends it to the noorer classes. It Is a strange thing that the 2-cent cut made by the Havemeyer syndicate has not been felt as yet by those who handle the Arbuckle. McLauglin and other standard makes. People get into the custom of using one particular brand, and stick to it throutrh all sorts of warfare. If a big cut in price- is extensively advertised so it Is brought to their attention they may to some- extent ! governed by It. but. as a rule. It is pretty difficult to wean away the old-time use r of any one brand. The best that can be done under orelinary circumstances is to secure the new trade that is constantly springing up and to induce retailers to push the new variety, which is done in many ways. In some parts of Illinois package coffee which costs the country merchant 15 cents a pounel in Chicago is being sold at the rate of seven pounds for $1 under the guise of using it for a leader. The fight over the package-coffee and sugar traele is expected to In time affect the green coffee market, and, in turn, all grades of roasteel coffees. Prices are at present very low. owing to an abunelant crop in Brazil last season, and large pur

chases have hH n made as the basis of stocks with which to carry on the war. The new crop docs not reach this country until July. LAST CHIEF OF THE MIAMIS. The Service of lai Fontaine- mi el HI Heath uml llurlnl. Huntington (Ind.) Herald. The work of removing the bodies Interred in the Catholic cemetery on North Poplar street to tho site of the new cemetery north of tho city on tha Goshen road has been begun. Conspicuous among the monuments in the old cemetery is the one bearing the inscription: FRANCIS LA FONTAINE. Principal Chief of the Miami Indians of Indiana. Died April 13. 1S47. It is probably nearly fifty years old. and Is well preserved. It is a tall shaft of white marble, on the top of which is a cross in token of the religious faith of th-? chief. The monument was originally erect ed at the first Catholic cemetery in this cltj on Cherry street, where new stands the Catholic schoolhouse, but which was abandoned as a cemetery early in the sixties. Francis La Fontaine, whose Indian name was To-pe-ah, was the last national chief of the Miami Indians of Indiana. His father was an Indian trader at Ke-ki-on-ga, the present site of Fort Wayne, as early as 1773. La Fontaine was born in 1M0. Ho Is credited with having had a liberal education, and his wife was a daughter cf RJchardvJlle, who was La Fontaine's predecessor as national chief. I ax Fontaine's home at the time of his selection as the successor of Richardvllle was south of the prairie between Huntington and Icrt Wayne. It Is said that there were three candidates for the position of successor of Richardvllle La Fontaine, Brouillette and Me-shln-go-me-sia. The excitement incident to the election ran very high, and there was talk of putting some of the candidates out of the way. The late John Roche once told the writer that Brouillette s adherents were In a consplract to take La l ontaine's life, but that a friend apprised the intended victim of the plan. 5V .epo.V.ro cauyen its abandonment, ihat Brouillette was implicated in the conspiracy, however, may be doubted, for hewas an early convert to Christianity and was for many years of his life a regular! v ordained minister of the Baptist Church When the council convened all the village chiefs were present, but onlv the name of To-pe-ah was presented. William Chan, peen. a noted Indian of Black Loon's village, arose in his place, and with his hand upon his knife defiantly made one of the shortest and most effective nominating speeches on record. "1 say To-pe-ah shall be chief! Who says no?" There was no dissenting voice, and the election of La J;ontaine was acquiesced in by all the rival factions. La Fontaine's residence after he became national chief was near the forks of the Wabash river, about two miles west of Huntington. Here he built a comfortable frame house, which is still well preserved and is occupied by his only surviving daughter. Mrs. Christian Kngleman. her husband and family. Mrs. Fugleman's name appears upon th rolls as Archangel La Fontaine, and she has in her possession many valuable relics of her father, among them very fine paintings of both La Fontaine and Rlchardville. The chief s armchair is also in possession of the daughter. It is a massive affair, large enough to seat two ordinary people comfortably, and its weight is about forty pounds. La Fontaine came to the honors of chieftainship when the tribe was rapidlv declining in importance. .The treaty for the removal of the Miamis to Kansas, except certain favored families, bail been made prior to Rlchardville' s death, and to assist in carrying out the nrovisions of this treaty was one of the gardens of his administration. For several years nothing was done by the government to enforce the treat v. and La Fontaine, to protect his people from the greed of traders, established a store in a building near his residence, employing the late John Roche to conduct it. While Its primary object was to supply the Indians with merchandise, it was nevertheless patronized by the early settlers. Joseph E. Moore, the pioneer Friend now living iu this city, says that all found la Fontaine an honorable business man. and as evidence of his retentive memory, says that he would sell goods all day without making a note ef his 4ransactions and in the evening sit down with Mr. Roche, who acted as his bookkeeper, and detail every item of the day's business. Captain Wlntrode. whose early days of manhood were largely spent among the Miamis. who was give n the Indian name Al-lo-chut. and who was often employed as an interpreter in their affairs, speaking of the business sagacity of La Fontaine, says that he made a great effort to have the county senit established at the' fcrks. offering to put up the courthouse and build a bridge across the river as a bonus. La Fontaine i remembered as a man of fine personal presence. In his youth he is said to have been tall, spare, athletic and noted fnr his fleetness of fnut H rrrnnrobust and corpulent, and in his later yars weighed 350 pounds. He usually dressed in Indian costume and had the Indian love of finery and ornament well developed. In ldO. when the Miamis were transferred to the West, La Fontaine accompanied them to their destination. The return Journey was undertaken in the spring, and as travel was mainly by steamboats of primitive comfort and speed, was long and tedious. The route was from Kansas City down the Missouri and Mississippi to the mouth of the Ohio, up the Ohio to the Wabash and thence up the Wabash to Lafayette. La Fontaine was taken sick at St. Louis. At Lafayette he entered an unfinished building and lay down to rest. He grew suddenly and violently worse, and. although medical aid was summoned, died before h could be removed to a more comfortable place. His body was embalmed nd biougbt te his home at the forks in a spring wagon. The funeral occurred from his home and was attended by nearly all the white population of the county and the remnant bands of Indians. The pallbearers were white menmembers of the- Catholic congregation of this city ami the interment was at the first Catholic cemetery laid out in Huntington. Years after, about 162. the body was removed to the cemetery on North Poplar street. The casket was opened on this occasion and Judge SaylT. w ho was present, says they found the remains :n almost a perfect state of preservation, due probably to the embalming pror.es. La Fontaine was the national chief of the Miamis but six years, tnd his age. at the time of his death, but thirty-seven years. The Poet Wu Hunt). Washington Star. "I am sorry." said the poet, "but I am obliged to call your attention to the fact that a lin.Mn one of my recent compositions was entirely perverted and the- meaning painfully ellstort'-d by the compositor.'' ' "Young man. " replied the editor. . "that compositor has gone through more poetns than you ever wrote or even rend. He has put in his life letting up poetry of all kinds, spring and fal". stjb s and heavier gocds for winter. He may have changed your poem but when you say he harmed it you presume. When a man of his experience- makes up his mind to change a piece of poetry a m en in your position should not attempt to criticise." Rude Mtippowl t ion. Chicago Post.
