CHICAGO CITY BY. TO ASSUHQ CONTROL Agreement Between Two Street Car Corporations in Effect Soon.

TRANSFERS FROM 79 TH. ST. Promise of Quicker and Better Service is Again Held Out to the Patrons. Seven days more and the South Chicago City Railway will be controlled by the Chicago City Company and the patrons of the local system are again given promises of a better and quicker service to and from Sixty-third street. With few exceptions all the papers have been signed by the local system and the down town company. Not only are the patrons given promise of quicker and setter service, but those residing north of Seventy-ninth street will have advantage of a fivecent fare to any part of the city on the line traversed by the Chicago City Railway Company. This news is too good to be true, so many assert and the majority of the South Chicago patrons are wont to believe that the service will be bettered. Sloan Remain In Charge. II. M. Sloan, the present superintendent of the Calumet and South Chicago City Railway Company will be retained in the same capacity by the down town company. Work on the rehabilitlon of .the local company's trackage will be started Immediately after the Chicago .City assumes control. Several officials from the Burnside office were down town yesterday in conference with the SChicago company, offering suggestions for the betterment ,of the service and judging from the manner in which the local officials are .going at the matter, they mean business and local representatives of the company believe that the death knell has been sounded to the rotten street car service through South Chicago. Big (an tome Later. At first it was the intention of the .city company to run their Roby car .to Seventy-ninth street via Stony Island avenue, Coles avenue. Seventyfifth street and Seventy-third street, but owing to some disagreement upon this matter by the offlcoals it seems to have fallen through and there seems to be no chance of seeing the big city cars in Cheltenham and Windsor Park this year. However, the offlcoals of .both roads maintain that they will come sooner or later and there is a possibility that the city cars will run as far south as Ninety-second street. It Is believed that with the new advent of the city company in assuming control of the local system that the old Ninety-fifth street car barns will again be put into use which will mean a big relief to the local motorman and conductors who at the present time are compelled to gy to Burnsido to take out their daily runs. SIX YEARS IN JAIL. Kansas City, Mo.. July 24. John M. Speyer, today completed six consecutive years of imprisonment in the Jackson county jail and he ie believed to be the oldest jail prisoner in the West, if not in the entire country. He has been convicted three times of the murder of his son and twice has been sentenced to death. An appeal each time has served to stay the execution of the verdict and has likewise prevented him froiri being transferred to the State penitentiary. He is now awaiting a fourth trial in his case and It will probably be well along toward his seventh year in jail before his case la finally disposed of. Speyer is a changed man since his long imprisonment. He l as seen several changes in the jail administration during his long term of six years and has witnessed the. imprisonment and releaSp of hundreds of prisoners. This lnrl to a philosophical bent of mind and his introspective cogitations have led htm to hang In his cell the motto. "Smile, dam you. smile." Speyer does not think much of the Jail as a place for reforming criminals. On this subject he says "The men who come here are mostly graduates in rrime Thev cannot be reformed. I have seen many men here, who went to the penitentiary when I first came, who have since served their sentences. have come back and been taken away to begin a second sentence. The first jail sentence may do a young man Komf. e-ood. I think. That is, if he Is set free in a few hours, before he be cames acquainted with the other crim inals and before the horror wears off. But after a man has spent a week in a jail, the jail is wothout opportu nlty for doing him any good. He be comes hardened. "I will tell you why this jail is al ways full. It is not. as the preacher comes in and tell us. because of men being hungry and having to steal, and it is not because of whispy. It is be cause of cocaine and morphine and other drugs that keep the jails full. Nine-tenths of the inmates of jails are drug fiends. The jailers use every precaution to keep the stuff out of the jail, but it is smuggled in loaves of bread, In pies and in bananas. And a man who is a drug fiend is an incurable criminal. At any time he is without his drug he will steal, murder or commit any crime to get the price of the stuff." To Destroy Paint Odor. Put a kettle full of lighted charcoal, on which have been thrown a handful of juniper berries, In the room and carefully stop all openings, not forgetting the chimney. Leave the room closed for 24 hours, by the end of which time the smell win be gone. Of couree, no person or animal must remain in the room while the charcoal is turning. Country Life la America.

That the business men of the country do not intend to submit to an increase in freight rates without a fight was mad-; evident today when a number of representatives of the manufacturing and commercial interests of the union met in this city to confer in regard to the recent action of the Southwestern Freight association in filing with the interstate commerce commission a new freight rate tariff calling for a general advance in joint freight rates for Texas of approximately 8 per cent. The parties to the conference were the members of the committee of eigh teen appointed at the May conference of manufacturers and shippers. The organizations represented by the committee include the National Hardwood Lumber association. National League of Commission Merchants, National Industrial Traffic league, Illinois Manu facturers' association, American Ship pers' association, Iowa State Manu facturers' association. National Asso ciation of Manufacturers, National As sociatlon of Agricultural Implements and Vehicle Manufacturers, National Wholesale Lumber Dealers' association and the Manufacturers' association of New York. While the organizations named and a number of additional ones are assembling forces to oppose any increase in rates, the fact has developed that the manufacturing and commercial interests do not all agree on the Inadvisablllty of the proposed Increase. This has complicated the situation and it is expected the situation and is expected to prove of advantage to the railroads in the contest. The metal and allied industries, it is understood, do not object to the contemplated Increase in the freight rates. Many shippers in the south, it is also understood, will submit to the proposed increase of rates by the southern roads without much opposition, provided there is no discrimination in the new rates. Truly Beautiful Life. A life need not be great to be beautiful. There may be as much beauty In a tiny flower as in a majestic tree, In a little gem as In a great mountain. A beautiful life Is one that fulfills its mission that is what God made it to be, and does what God made it to do. J. R. Miller. The Helpless Bachelor. The married man lives scientifically; he never pays a bill twice or thrice over because he has lost the receipt. The bachelor lives unscientifically. He is robbed right and left; he is the prey of every footpad that lurks behind counters. London Sketch. Adamless Edena. The time Is long past when the fact of adopting horticulture as a profession is at all likely to create surprise. Other callings for women may be more remunerative, but there is none more wholesome and more healthy for mind and body. Country Life.

AM EPISODE OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION.

Original. It was during the reign of terror that relieved France of her king and queen and many of her nobility that a small wedding party assembled in a chateau near a town on the banks of the Loire. The young Marquis Jean de Lefevre was about to marry Artinse Blnolnette, the daughter of a neighboring noble. The two had grown up together, and their passage from a childish companionship to a youthful love had been so gradual that they did not recognize the latter when it came till they were about to be separated. Jean was only nineteen and Artinse only sixteen, and no thought of marriage had come to either till It became evident that the young man must cross the border if he would escape the general massacre of nobles then setting In. Then ho discovered that he could not bear to leave Artinse behind him, and Artinse discovered that she could not bear to be left behind. The countess, Jean's mother, pleaded with him to fly at once, but he resolutely refused to go unless he might take Artinse with him. And so a hasty wedding was arranged between these two young people, both of whom were still In their teens. The ceremony had been performed and the pair pronounced man and wife when a dozen or more citizens appeared at the door, and, pushing their way in, one of them laid his hand on the groom's shoulder, saying: "Citizen Lefevre, you are wanted by the committee of safety." Alas, the departure had been delayed too long! The groom was torn from his bride and carried away to the jail in which common malefactors had been Imprisoned, but which was now turned into a political jail. For a time Artinse gave way to hys terical shrieks, then quieted down, and at last began to concentrate her faculties upon some method of freeing her husband. The prospect of the guillotine, instead of paralyzing her, sharpened her wits, serving as a goad to an Inventive faculty which had hitherto lain dormant, but which now showed Itself to lie remarkable. She planned an escape for her lover, and planned It herself without suggestions from others r.nt, bavins once conceived it, she selected a few confederates to assist bein carrying it out. Once every dny she was admitted t' the prison where her husband was confined. She was not allowed to see hitti alone, but to talk to him through the steel bars that separated his cell frot.i the corridor. On the third day she went on her daily visit ready to communicate to him her plan, the principal part of which fell to him. But how was sho to do thlSj a guard standing watching her slightest motion and listening to every word? She had provided a way, and on its success depended the whol? matter of his escape. Having been taken to his cell, the two ctood on each side of the bars talking. Artinse gave her lover a look to warn him that he was to expect something. When the time allotted for the visit had passed she put up her mouth for a kiss. The kiss was a long one, and during the period their lips were together Artinse contrived to push with her tongue a little pellet Into her husband's mouth. Then when she saw that she had succeeded she withdrew. This leginning. without which the escape was impossible, thrilled Artinse with hope, and she went home in a tremor of excitement. Still, there was much to be done, many ways by which even the attempt might be frustrated, then the guillotine. As soon as the marquis was alone he took the pellet from his mouth and found the outside to be of wax. Pulling off the wax. he came to a ball of tissue paper. Carefully unrolling It so that he should not tear It, he spread It out aud saw that It was covered with written words: Be on the watch at 12 midnight. A rope will be thrown over the roof so as to hang in front of your window. Seize it and pull it up. You will socure a bundlo of keeper's clothes, a file and a rope. Cut out window bars, put on suit, let yourself down by the rope, the rest as best you can. We will have team ready on the bridge half mile down river from 12 till 2 a. m. each night till you are ready. Jean's cell was on the third, or top, story of the Jail. Below and some twenty feet from the building was the wall. Soon after 12 that night, while listening at his window, he heard something strike the roof. The effort was doubtless a failure. lie waited for another effort, but heard nothing. Thrusting his arm out between the bars, he grasped n 6tring. This he drew up and took in the articles mentioned with which to effect his escape. The suit he concealed under his mattress. He worked all the time he was unobserved, fining up the gaps filed with the black bread given him to eat, and on the second night was ready for escape. Putting on the suit and attaching the rope to the window bars he had not flled, he let himself down and walked to the gateway. There stood a floppy guard, whom ho ordered to open the gnte, saying a prisoner was 111 and he must go for a doctor. The guard obeyed, and the marquis walked away. At the place appointed he found a carriage waiting. Opening the door, ho stepped In and was clasped in the arms of his wife. The young couple were driven rapidly for the rest of the night and as soon as It came light left their carriage and proceeded on foot, contriving to exchange fine clothes for peasants' costumes. In this way they succeeded In reaching the border, which they crossed safely. Once in a foreign land they I knelt and gave thanks that the husj Land's life had been saved. w ADELAIDE RUTH HILL.
