INTERCHANGE IS PROPER. The citizens of Richmond through 'the Commercial club together with the officials of the C. C. & L. railway 'itave petitioned1 the State Railway commission to secure Interchange of ifreight between the C, C. & L. and Khe Pennsylvania system at Richbnond. The Pennsylvania systein has teent in its objection to the state com'inission declaring that the amount of inew business to be secured through ?the Interchange of freight would not justify the expense of making the necessary connections. The citizens of Richmond recognize rvery clearly the advantages that rwould accrue to this city were an interchange of freight made possible. The factory sites on the south side would become a great deal more valuable and factories already located on the south side would be greatly benefitted. The Starr Piano Co., for example, can load cars for shipment viathe C, C. & Li. at its own factory; to chip via. the Pennsylvania system, however, it must either go to the expense of sending pianos across the rity by drays to the Pennsylvania freight depot, or else if a car is loaded on the C. ,C. & L. tracks It must be interchanged at some intermediate point miles outside the city. The Pennsylvania may be correct in its contention that the present amount i)t business would not justify the expense of making the connections for an Interchange of freight. But that does not necessarily mean that the Pennsylvania's position in regard to the matter is right. On the contrary the future growth of the city should he considered. An Interchange of freight now would materially help the advancement of the city. It would not only afford better shipping facilities lor present manufacturers but would also be an additional advantage to offer prospective industries desiring a location In Richmond. From this viewpoint, therefore, it looks as though the Pennsylvania's objections should be over-ruled by the rommission and the interchange rendered possible. In a way it looks as though the Pennsylvania's objections xr.ay be selfishly made in order that the C, C. &. L., a minor railway, canTiot have the advantages it would rereive by the interchange. In this case, however, the interests of the C, C & L. are identical with the interests of Richmond's manufacturers, a fact that should have considerable weight with the decision of the comjnission which meets in this city on the 25th of June. The value of the maple sugar output pf Canada is placed at $2.00,00O, jwhich is supposed to represent threevenths of the output of the world. fThe adulteration of foods act has measurably put a stop to the mixing of cane rr beet sugar with maple, as such mixtures must be marked "adulterated" or 'compound.

Benjamin Franklin was once asked to point out the road to prosperity. His reply was: "Be honest; work hard; save some." The last phrase save some is not the least important. You may be honest an da hard worker, but unless you save, prosperity and you will be strangers.

OBEYING FULL CREW LAW LOCAL. RAILROADS HAVE COME INTO PATH OF RECTITUDE. Disposition Shown at First to Ignore the New Statute Has Entirely Disappeared. That the local railroads have come into the path of rectitude, is fully shown by the fact that they are obeying the full crew law to the letter. For several weeks after the time the law became effective there seemed to be some disposition o nthe part of the local roads to ignore the law, but when the railroad commission showed signs of enforcement, their attitude underwent a quick change. The unusual sight of a flagman guarding the rear end of every train now greets the sight, and as required by the law, extra men have been put on every train consisting of fifty cars and more to make up the full quota of six. It has been necessary for the Pennsylvania and G. R. & I. to hire many new men. The trainmasters of the different roads have issued bulletins to the effect that the new law will be strictly adhered to. 'TESTS WILL BE MADE. I,ocal trainmen on the Pennsylvania will soon be required to take the annual color, sight and hearing test. They are always dreaded, especially by the engineers and firemen, as in many Instances, when they have served on the road for years they may fall down on the color test. In case they do, their positions are practically lost, as all enginemen have to have a clear vision of colors; especially signal colors. It is expected that all will pass the examintion, but nevertheless, there is a; feeling of dread hovering over the trainmen's camp. BROTHERHOOD TO MEET. A number of Pennsylvania engineers are making preparations to go to Altoona the latter part of this month, where they will attend a big gathering of the members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers who are employed on the Pennsylvania. The meeting will be held June 29 and 30 and there will be members present from all over the Pennsylvania system. The event is an annual affair. WAS DONE TOO HASTILY. Governor Hughes of New Tork has vetoed the two-cent passenger bill in that state because, as he says, the committee framing the measure, did not study the transportation conditions thoroughly before framing the measure, and this would be an injustice to the railroads. He said that the big corporations should receive the same consideration from the state legislatures as any other citizen and no measure . should be pressed against them, unless the conditions surrounding them are first studied out. 4 SCHEDULE SHORTENED. Employes in several shops on the Pennsylvania lines west were on last Monday put on an eight hour working schedule. It is said that the change is only temporary and will be followed in a few days by a resumption of full time. WILL MAKE CONTEST. At a meeting of the western railway executives in Chicago, it was decided to contest the two-cent laws in the states of Illinois, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Arkansas. BUSINESS VERY HEAVY. The local railroads are doing an exceptionally heavy business since the Inauguration of the two cent law.
7 -
- V4 Sim Just what the public thinks of onehalf cent is fully demonstrated at the local Pennsylvania station each day. When the Pennsylvania reduced its passenger rate from three to two and one-half cents per mile the traffic did not increase but little, but when the flat two cent rate was charged, the increase in both local and through travel has been wonderful. The earn ings and amount of cars taken in for this Increase however still continues to be smaller than ever before. MINOR NOTES. Within the past few days the largest steel manufacturing companies have received orders for six thousand all steel freight cars. It is said that the railroads entering Chicago are now contemplating the erection of a $20,000,000, union station. The local Pennsylvania ticket office has received much advertising material describing the different roads to and from the Twenty-third National Christian Endeavor convention, which will be held in Seattle, July 10-15. STARTS FRIDAY. INDICATIONS ARE FOR BIG BUSI I NESS. Tomorrow is the opening date of the ten big days of sale of the lots in Beall View addition. The indications are for a large sale and many are already arranging to select their lots during the first days of sale. This addition was formerly known as the Boyce property and is most desirably located between South 0th and South 3rd streets, bounded on the north by South L street and on the south by Soulh Q street. . The location being close to the city makes the lots very desirable. The South Side Improvement association are not trying to make money on these lots therefore the lots are being sold at very low prices, ranging from $35 upward. The payments are all that one could ask, being only $1 down then $1 per week. The Magazines. Night Work for the Glass-House Boy. Contrast life on the farm with the life of the little glass-house bojr, who every other week enters the factory at five o'clock in the evening, sits at the feet of the glass blower to open and shut the molds, stands at his side to break off the soft, wax-like glass from the end of the blow pipe, or carries the hot ware from the finisher to the annealing oven. After a night of eight or nine hours in this superheated factory this little boy must go out Into the raw, cold morning to prepare himself by sleep for another night of labor. To compel young boys at the time of life when body and mind are undergoing their most rapid transformation to be employed at labor not only exhausting in itself, but involving a radical change in all the habits of life each week, is to fasten upon childhood an exaction not only Inhuman in itself, but menacing to our future social well-being. -Secretary of the National Child Labor Committee in Woman's Home Companion for July.

A Pleasant Sort of Doctor. "A man who had been desperately 111 in town was sent by his doctor down into the country to recuperate," says a writer. "The invalid was much collapsed on arrival, and the local doctor was summoned. 'Umph, galloping decline!' was his comment. 'Finest thing in the world is plenty of cabbage. Nothing so nutritious as cabbage in a case of this sort. Give him lots of it.' The sick man groaned n protest, and then the doctor reconsidered the matter. 'After all he mused, 'all we can do is gently to ease him away; ease him away. I'll send him something that'll do it. He sent him some medicine which put the patient so soundly to sleep that it was only by a miracle that they got him round. A day or two later that doctor was carried to a lunatic asylum, raving mad. The patient recovered." Chicago News.
