Effect of Anti-Pass Law
A year has elapsed since the Pennsylvania Railroad began the rigid .enforcement of its anti-pass order, says the Railway World. This order, which was issued by President Cassatt, cut off from the railroad's free list practically all the persons to whom the Hepburn bill, which was passed by Congress six months later, prohibited the issue of free transportation. President Cassatt's order also abolished the practice of exchanging passes for advertising, which exchange the Interstate Commerce Commission rules is unlawful under the Hepburn act. Much curiosity is expressed in railroad, financial and commercial circles as to the results which will be shown by the year's operations under the no pass order. An officer of the Pennsylvania Railroad states that it will be impossible to ascertain the exact effect upon passenger receipts of the order abKishing passes for the reason that there has been a very great natural increase in the passenger business of '1906 over previous years. This is largely due to the general business activity on account of which men and manufactures were compelled to do more traveling. Prosperity also caused an increase of the number of commercial travelers on the road and the good time's also contributed a larger number of persons to the throng which travels for pleasure. A representative of the passenger department stated that the reduction in. passenger fares and the changes in regard to the issue of mileage bcoks have stimulated travel. As the newspapers receive cash for their railroad. advertising they are better off than they were under the old plan of accepting passes instead of cash in payment for advertisements. It is found, however, that the railroad company has not been advertising quite so freely as it did in former years when it was compelled to draw upon its cash account to pay for advertising. In former years, however, the railroad did more or. less advertising which would not have been considered profitable if a cash outlay had been required. All such advertisements have been scanned with the greatest care during the past year and the advertising department has been put upon a strictly business basis, the purpose being to obtain full value for every dollar expended. The newspapers in the large cities have not suffered so much by this precaution as have the country newspapers. The annual report of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will not be published until March, and it will not be possible to analyze the company's receipts until that time, but even then the difficulties enumerated above will prevent entirely satisfactory conclusions being reached. After January 1, next, all of the railroads engaged in interstate commerce will be compelled by the new law to follow in the footsteps of the Pennsylvania, and by another year it is quite possible that more definite and satisfactory data will be obtainable. The usual courtesies will be extended by the railroads to each other so that officers and employes will be favored with passes as heretofore and this privilege extends to the transportation of private cars used by high officials. The New York Central and Hudson River has given formal notice that it will comply with the new law and stop the exchange of passes for advertising.
GIVEN A SHORT RELIEF BY CONDITION OF CORN Low Price of the Cereal and the Fact That Farmers are Holding It Helps the Railroads, Which are Now Short of Cars. The comparatively low price of corn and the corresponding holding on to the cop by the farmers and corn . growers has given temporary relief to the railroads which have a car shortage staring them in the "Sfce at all times. The shortage, serious last summer, promised to be extremely disasterous during the time of fall and winter shipments of grain. Unable to lay grain cars by where they would be most needed this fall, the ; railroads were compelled to, hustle ito keep on the move the freight it alj ready had. The condition it corn this fall has I been damaged by wet and damp weather. This has reduced the price of grain, and the large farmers and growers are holding on to their crops awaiting better prices. Meanwhile the car distributors are racking their 'brains to keep the present stringency in the car supply from getting any worse than it is. In doing this, the distributor has also to reckon with the coal movement, heaviest of the year at this season. It is said that a thousand cars have been held up In Kansas City by discriminating shippers awaiting the grain movement, but that is not believed here to have much to do with the present shortage. NATURE'S WARNING. Richmond People Must Recognize and Heed it. Kidney ills come quickly mysteriously. But nature always warns you through the urine. Notice the kidney secretions. See if the color is unhealthly If there are settlings and sediment, Passages too frequent, scanty, painful. it's time then to use Doan's Kidney Pills, To ward off Bright's disease or diabetes. Doan's have done great work In Richmond. Martin Bulach. tailor, of South Fifth street, Richmond, Ind., says: "A number of years ago I was troubled with backache and the kidney secretions were too free and discolored. This was brought on. I think, by the trying nature of my work. Doan's Kidney Pills were recommended for similar cases and I secured a box from A. G. Luken & Co's. drug store. After taking them only a short time the aches pains disappeared and the kidney secretions became, normal again. I thank Doan's Kidney Pills for the relief 1 found, and recommend

PHOIIE SAVES DAY; BEVERIDGE HAPPY Indiana. Senator, Unable to Reach Indianapolis, Dictates His Speech. "SPEAKS" WHILE AT PLAY SITS IN THEATRE IN CHICAGO AS STENOGRAPHER READS ADDRESS TO PHYSICIANS USED SPECIAL TRAIN IN RAIN. Chicago, 111., Dec. CO, (Spl.) Senator Albert J. Beveridge, on the cards for a speech at the hanouet in Indianapolis last evening, found himself in Chicago, 200 and more miles away. It was a situation that might have puzzled the majority of men, but the Hoosier senator was equal to the emergency. He called the long distance telephone to his aid and the banqueters were not disappointed. The subject of the address was "The Nation's Peril," and the dinner was attended by the alumni of the Indiana Medical college, assembled at the Hotel Claypool. Uses Special Train in Vain. The senator spoke iit Lincoln, Neb., on Friday, and in order to make connections with the evening train out of Omaha for Chicago, he had to press a special train into service from Lincoln to Omaha. Thus far all was well. He boarded the train at Omaha, which should have brought him Into Chicago early enough yesterday to catch a day train for Indianapolis. That would have made connections with the banquet last evening. But the fault in the calculations was that the Omaha train reached Chicago five hours late, or at 3 p. m. too late to allow the possibility of getting into the Hoosier capital last evening. The senator did not choose to accept defeat. Pacing back and forth In the smoker as it sped into Chicago, he bethought himself of the telephone as a handy modern invention full of picturesque possibilities and on reaching the city at once put himself into communication with Manager A. S. Hibbard of the Chicago Telephone company. This was at 5 o'clock. Special Service Promised. "Can we connect you with the banquet room at the Claypool hotel at Indianapolis?" repeated Mr. Hibbard over the wire to the impatient orator at the Annex. "Indeed, we can. How' many will there be at the banquet?" "How many?" the senator repeated in turn. "Why. about 200 guests. I hate to disappoint them." "All right," said Mr. Hibbard, who then called up Supt. S. J. Larned and laid the case before him with orders to go ahead. Larned called up Manager ,F. F. Fowles of the American Telephone and Telegraph company and asked for a through wire to the Claypool and the immediate installation of 200 patent receivers in the banquet room of that hostelry. Changes Plan; Dictates Speech. The arrangements were all made by which each diner could hear the senator's voice, and then he decided to forward the speech in another way. He talked with Dr. A. A. Stearns, head of the society, over the long distance wire and explained his plight. This was early in the evening. He then got into communication with a court stenographer who happened to be in the hotel in Indianapolis, and in full detail dictated his speech, which was taken down in shorthand. He added a brief message expressing his regrets at the series of misfortunes which had cost him the "pleasure of an evening in their midst." The stenographer read the speech to the assembled physicians at the proper time in the program 10 o'clock, while the senator was siting in a Chicago theatre enjoying the" play in company with Mr. Hibbard. SHORT STORIES. The tall live longer than the short. The Cubans cannot sound the letter 4s in the middle of a-word. There are in the United States more than 350 secret orders, brotherhoods and sisterhoods, containing over 7,000,000 members. It is stated that while there is room in western Canada for 50,000 miles of railway there are scarcely more than 5,000 miles there at present. A pair of gloves passes through nearly twenty-two hands from the moment that the skin leaves the dresser till the time when the gloves are purchased. Practically all the olive oil Imported from Italy and other European countries has been found pure so far as examined by Dr. Wiley of "the department of agriculture. An effort is being made by the citizens of Sixjucer, Mass.. to get possession of the birthplace of Elias Howe. Inventor of the sewing machine, ill that city for th use of a historic building for the town. SNAKES. Serpents often eat one another. Two headed snakes are not uncommon. Snakes can lire a year or more without food. Some snakes play possum, or act as dead, as a means of defense. Fangs of serpents are renewed or grow in again after beiug extracted. Snakes and other reptiles are not "cold blooded, but are the temperature of their surroundings. The young black; snake is gray and spotted and often mistaken for the potted adder, water snake or copper-
PROMOTION FROM RANKS
MOVEMENT NOW ON FOOT Locomotive Engineers Would Have Some of Their Number Selected for Positions of Responsibility by -Railroads, j A movement is on foot, it is said, with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers to promote men from the ranks. The engineers are falling off and the old rule that the operating officials should have practical experience in operating trains on the roads should be restored. There is no in-) tention to make a specific demand, but it will be strongly hinted at as the old agreement expires. The rule in recent years has been that the dispatchers get the promotions, especially the place of superintendents and trainmen, which formerly went to engineers and conductors. The engineers now believe that they would fare much better than they do if the highest officials had come from their ranks or from those of the conductors, for the reason that the conditions would be much better understood and more acceptable to the men in that Hue of service. Tnrkeyi and GriMhoppcri. Machines for gathering grasshoppers have been Invented and tried, but the Is the turkey. It has the advantage of being a very profitable one too. A ranchman in western Kansas raised turkeys enough last year to keep eighty acres free from damage by this Insect pest. Next year this ranchman Intends raising turkeys very extensively for thi3 purpose, and nearly all of his neighbors are planning to do the same. If there were a hundred turkeys to each quarter section in this alfalfa belt there would not be enough grasshoppers left to damage any crops. And without considering the good that turkeys do. turkey raising is a profitable industry where Insects are so plentiful. After they attain the age of three or four weeks, says Country Life . In America, they can obtain their whole living in the fields and cost the farmers nothing until late fall. Cipher Price Marka. "The cipher price mark, the tag not marked '1.75, but P17CDG, Is getting to be a thiug of the past," said a Jeweler. "The public mistrusts it. There is nothing that wins the confidence of the public like a priee mark in big, plain figures. Most cipher price marks are easily read. They have for their key, as a rule, the sentence 'I push trade The T is L the p 2, the u' 3, and so on down to the e,' which stands for 0. Thus '$2.75' in cipher would be '$p r. h.' Ciphers are useful for firms that give long credit, for such firms must naturally ask more from a six months' customer than a, spot cash one. But they are very unpopular things. They arouse universal mistrust." New Orleans Times-Democrat. Comforts In Hotels. One of New York city's newest hotels offers its patrons a number of attractive little touches which make It very different from the bare hostelry of other days. Each room has a closet In which are found hangers for coats, skirts and trousers. Each dressing table has a pincushion, tray and powder box. Each room has a desk al1 ready provided with ink, pens, station- ; efy and blotters. The tables have ; spreads, and the chairs have tidies.
