Considerable space is given in this number to a review of the S2nd annual

exhibition of the National Academy

The rcrtrait form contains fine re

opera.

The color work in this number is

unusually dainty and suitable to the

reason. Lovers of the beautiful in por

Local employes of the Pennsylvania

have adjusted themselves to the two

cent passenger rate, and everything in conjunction with that law is moving along smoothly. There was some

friction when the law first went into

effect. The number of cash fares on the trains remains about the same a3 it did before the law went into effect, according to the statements of conductors entering this city. WEST GETS SHORT END. The oS.OOO tons of steel rails recently ordered by the Fennsylvania will be so divided that 100.iOO tons will be used on the lines east of Pittsburg and oo.OOO tons on the lines west of that city. HAS ALMOST DOUBLED.

Notwithstanding that there is a one

half cent reduction in the Pennsylvania railroad fares, on account of the two-cent rate law, the law seems to

be working to the advantage of the

railroad as the local traffic has almost doubled since it went into effect. The through traffic remains

heavy as of yore.

STILL BUYING BOOKS.

The traveling men are still pur

chasing the 1000 mile interchangeable books, althoujto the sale is not as

heavy as It was previous to the effec

tiveness of the two-cent law, because

the men can buy their tickets for the

same as they would the books. A lit

tle money is saved however on interstate travel. The only feature of the purchase of the books now is that it saves the commercial travelers keeping a long expense account of money paid out for travel. Many are buying the books for this particular feature alone. OPEN TO GENERAL PUBLIC. The interstate commerce commission, has announced a far reaching decision entitled "In the matter of party rates," The decision rendered by Commissioner Prouty, holds that party rata tickets cannot be limited to particular classes of persons, but

It is reported that the big shippers

all over the country are organizin

against the railroads to fight the car and freight congestion propositions to

the last ditch. Their main fight, how

ever, will be centered against the in

crease in freight rates.. The general increase In freight rates will go into

effect, according to a local freight of

ficial on and after June 1. Many of

the rates he said had been lowered

instead of increased. NEW TABLES RECEIVED. The May time tables for the Penn

sylvania lines, both east and west, have arrived at the local station, but

no changes in trains on the divisions

entering Richmond are noted. Thi

The car situation in Richmond improves as the weeks go by. Although

there is yet a shortage of cars for par

ticular lines of freight, the relief in

the past few days is so great that the shippers have ceased to find fault with the railroads entering Richmond. This is judged from the tenor of the talk of shippers and from statements of railroad men in this city. There has

been one noticeable feature of the in

crease in grain rates, and that has been the checking of the demand for

cars, but this will be alleviated should

the price of grain keep up. In other

lines of freight there is as heavy a movement as during the heaviest months of the winter and spring. The manufacturers of Richmond are now at

their busiest season, and especially is

this true of the farm implement nianu

facturers, but according to them .they

are securing enough cars to handle their product satisfactorily from both

the C, C. & L., and the Pennsylvania

lines.

That the railroads are still suffering

a car snortage generally, is evidencea each day at the local Pennsylvania station, by watching the freight trains

pull through tho station. Stock cars

go east loaded with cattle, hogs or horses; they come back west loaded with coke, coal or even manufactured goods. The refrigerator cars of the

western lines go east loaded with per

ishable goods and return west loaded

with non-perishable goods. These conditions would never exist unless

there was a car shortage of great di mensions on the railroads of the coun

try.

PERHAPS THE C, C. & L. EMPLOYES WILL FARE WORSE THAN THOSE ON THE PENNSYLVANIA IN THIS MATTER.

No Cathedral In France Its Equal In

Wealth or Ornament.

The place where it (Reims cathedral) stands is far too closely shut in

by small and insignificant houses. But

the strongest light, the meanest surroundings, could not lessen the marvel

of so marvelous a church, and mag

nificent is the word that occurs to one on the threshold, as to Arthur Young

on the distant hilltop. There is no ca

thedral in France that can equal it in

wealth, in extravagance, in gorgeous

ness of ornament. The facade of Notre

Dame of Taris, while something like it

in general design, is of Puritan simplicity beside the facade of Notre

Dame of Reims. No other west doors

are more deeply recessed, more richly charged with sculpture, row upon row, tier upon tier, some statues being as unexpectedly Greek in character as others are Gothic. No other sculptures are on so large and Imposing a scale. No other gables over the doors soar upward In such high, acute angles.' No other show such an entanglement of figures and traceries. And the great, tall windows above and the rose between are so beset with ornament that hardly an inch of bare stone remains about them. In the gallery of kings the statues stand under earven canopies, Intricate, delicate, lacelike In their elaboration. The tall central gable.

fretted and flamboyant, reaches up still

higher, and on each side of it the tow

ers, with the long lines of their arches

and windows, seem bent on carrying the glory of It all to the very heights

of heaven.

Nor were architect and sculptor less

lavish when they turned from the west front. Everywhere it is the same. The

buttresses stand firm,, a mass of ar

cades, niches sheltering wide winged

angels and tall pinnacles, or they go

flying across aisles in as light, graceful

and ornate a flight as if beauty were Its only object. They are the most

beautiful buttresses in France, Fergus-

son says; the grandest pinnacles, Mr.

Moore declares, and both are right.

The transepts are only new spaces for new ornament; the apse Is only a new motive for the new arrangement of buttresses and pinnacles. The gargoyles somehow seem more monstrous than those that look down from other cathedral walls, and around the top of the apse, perched, on a high balustrade, are grotesques-owls, mermaids, griffins, unicorns strange beings that come of the same family as

the devils of Notre Dame in Paris, only the grotesques of Reims are where they can be seen frem below, where they serve in the decorative scheme,

breaking the horizontal lines of the bal

ustrade with the effect of still another row of pinnacles. I have wandered for days about the cathedral without coming to the end of its inexhaustible detail. It Is almost incredible that one church co a id be so covered, with ornament, that its walls could, bear upon their surface such a rhythmical confusion of sculptured stone. Elizabeth Robins Peunell in Century.

The majority of the Pennsylvania railroad employes in this city are now

standing against the sixteen hour law, recently, passed by the Indiana state legislature, as they say their pay roll next month will bo materially decreased owing to tho measure, as many trainmen have been relieved within ten or fifteen miles of their destination just because they had served sixteen hours. Tho local trainmen, especially those on the freight trains, will not need to be discontented with the sixteen hour law long, as tho Pennsylvania officials have already issued the order that trainmen must serve only eight hours on duty and eight hours off duty. Many local trainmen have taken as high as twenty-four hour shifts without rest in order that they might swell their monthly pay roll, but such will be a thing of the past shortly. The local employes base their complaint against tho sixteen-hour law because it has been influential ia the Pennsylvania making its ruling it did. The C, C. & L. trainmen are all set against the state law, as it will work havoc with their pay. It is understood that C, C. & Li. trainmen do not receive the wages per hour or per mile

that other trainmen do, for some reason, and when they are required to

work only eight hours, their pocketbooks at the end of each month will

look as flat as tho proverbial pancake.

virtue of Foley's Kidney Cure, they

need only to refer to Mr. Alvin H. Stimpson, of Willimantic, Conn., who,

after almost losing hope of recovery on account of the failure of so many remedies, finally tried Foley's Kidney Cure, which he says was "just the thing" for him, as four bottles cured him completely. He is now entirely well and free from all the suffering

incident to acute kidney trouble.

A TORNADO,

The Spiral. That Connects the Earth

With the Clouds. While in Kansas a few years ago I

had a very clear view of a tornado. It

was about ten miles distant, passing swiftly over the prairie. It presented the appearance of a long rope about two feet In diameter. It extended from a dark, irregularly shaped cloud

to the earth and was slightly curved.

It was of nearly uniform thickness

and leaned about thirty-five degrees from a perpendicular toward the cloud. A line drawn from whero I stood to

the cloud would have made an angle of about forty degrees with the earth's surface. After this ropelike projection had parted I noticed in the irregular cloud a perfectly shaped spiral of silver whiteness. It was shaped like a great anger and extended from the point where the funnel or rope had been connected with the cloud forward

In the direction the cloud was moving.

All around It was In wild commotion.

but the spiral Itself seemed to stand

like a great white ribbon coiled auger shape and fixed secure. This spiral at the time I caught sight of it was lying in a nearly horizontal position, the forward end being only slightly elevated.

have never met any one who has

seen this spiral In the tornado cloud, but by one who came dangerously near being caught by a passing tornado I was told that the center of the whirl

ing funnel was as white as milk. From his statement, taken In connection with my own observations, I have formed the opinion that the center of

all tornadoes is a perfectly shaped electrical spiral and that when In operation it connects the earth with the

cloud. It is manifest that such a spiral

would give the middle of the tornado

funnel a white appearance. But it Is

not likely that one looking at it in Its

upright form would detect Its spiral form. Indeed, it would have to turn

Itself In a most favorable position in

order to reveal to the eye of the observer its spiral form. Scientific Amer
