Lesson in a Shuttle Road?

» « John W. Garrett Cited Charleston Example As Instance of the South’s Former Haphazard Manner of Developing Railways. In the latter part of March of the year 1883 I spent a week or ten days In Charleston, South Carolina. On the second day after my arrival there was at my hotel dining room table a stranger, a new arrival, of about middle height and of powerful build, with an unusual depth of chest. The per- , feet balance and poise of his massive head upon his shoulders was especially noticeable. The outline of the head Was round, rather than long. His face was broad; his mouth revealed great firmness, although there was in his smile a suggestion of gentleness and kindliness. His eyes, which were dark blue, were set far apart, and the breadth of his forehead indicated great intellectual power. His hair was not plentiful, although he was not bald, and in his early manhood he must have been of sandy complexion. He seemed to be a man of sixty-five years of age. “Have you come from the north?” he asked; and wiien I replied that I had, he asked me if I came by the coast line. I saw that he was familiar with railroad matters, and disposed to talk * of them, so I ventured to ask him how It happened that a city the size of Charleston, and a seaport at that, had no central railway station. The main station was then some two miles outside the city, and passengers were conveyed back and forth by means of a shuttle train. “Well, that shuttle train furnishes one explanation of why the Confederacy did not succeed.” was the reply. Then, noting, apparently that I was wondering how a shuttle railroad two miles long could have had anything to do with the failure of the Confederacy, he continued, and his manner was that of a modest, kindly gentleman: “Do you know of any Important city of the north, especially any seaport, that would have been content even in early railroad days with railroad com- 1 munlcation that required the use of a shuttle train? This little shuttle' line personifies the haphazard manner in which industry and railway development in the south in the days before the war were universally carried on, a circumstance that is easily explained by the fact that the south was then almost exclusively an agricultural region. So it came about, when the war broke out, that the Confederacy found Itself with nothing more than makeshift means of communication at ■its command. There was not one railroad in the entire south that was worthy of the name when compared with the railroads of the north, and judged by the standards of today the northern roads of war times were poor, as a whole. Yet if there had been a railroad of northern standard running between Richmond and Lynchburg, for example, Lee could

Small Boy and Noted Author

■i Henry C. Robinson’s Proud Memory of the Time When Charles Dickens Spoke to Him in Hartford, Conn. The late Henry C. Robinson of Hartford, Conn., one of- the leaders of the Hew England bar, Republican candidate for governor of Connecticut in 1876, and prominently identified for years with the Ney 7 York, New Haven and Hartford railroad as counsel and director, was accustomed to say in the latter part of his life that the two incidents of his career of which he was especially proud were these —he had been a member of the famous class of 1853 at Yale, of which Andrew D. White, afterwards president of Cornell university and minister to Germany. was valedictorian, and he was one of the very few boys in the United Btates to whom Charles Dickens spoke on his first visit to America. ‘1 am sure that at no other time during that visit did Dickens speak to any American boy as he spoke to me,” Mr. Robinson told me. “What he said was not much, but it was Charles Dickens who said it, and he said it to me. and that was enough. "I was between eleven and twelve years of age when Dickens came to Hartford in 1842. He had been spending a day or two in Springfield, Mass., and he insisted upon making the trip from Springfield to Hartford by the little steamboat which at that time plied between the two cities upon the Connecticut river. He told his friends that he wanted to see the Connecticut, for it was one of the American rivers of which he had heard much. ,r We knew in Hartford the hour at which Dickens would arrive, and there was a great throng at the steamboat landing waiting to see him. I was not able to be there, for I was at school when he arrived. But I heard that he was staying at the City hotel, which at that time was the leading hostelry in the <dty. and was located only three or

t have transported his whole army by it from Richmond, after evacuation, to Lynchburg, and it would have taken a long time to dislodge him, once he was in Lynchburg. He could have made a union there with Joe Johnston’s army, then in North Carolina; he could have given Grant a great deal of trouble. But he had no good railway service at his disposal, and he fell at Appomattox. So it'was elsewhere in the south —the southern commanders were greatly handicapped by , lack of proper railroad facilities; they had to contend with such things as this shuttle railroad in Charleston; and so, I say, this shuttle service furnishes one explanation of the fall of the Confederacy.” It was clear to me that my table mate was a railway, man of experience, and, my curiosity being aroused, I made inquiries at the hotel office concerning him; “Oh,” said the clerk, “that is John W. Garrett, president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.” When next I was seated with my table companion I said: “Mr. Garrett, until this afternoon I did not dream that I had been talking with the creator and builder-up of the great Baltimore and Ohio railroad system. If I had known it, I might have been a little embarrassed.” ' “Well,” replied Mr. Garrett smiling kindly, “it has always been my belief that when strangers who afe upon their travels meet, it is a great deal better that they should not know anything about one another, provided they are satisfied that they have some points of common interest. For in

Hill’s High Idea of Ethics

Why He Would Not Present Case Against the Income Tax Clause of the Wilson Bill to Supreme Court. '' Now that David Bennett Hill, three times governor of and one term United States senator from New York, has passed away, it is possible to narrate several Incidents connected with his career that nave both historic importance and dramatic interest. They have remained unchronicled hitherto because of Governor Hill’s policy of complete silence in all things political relating to himself, a policy that one of the staunchest friends he ever had —Judge Alton B Parker —declared recently caused much unnecessary criticism to be heaped upon its author. In 1894 the house of representatives passed the tariff bill now historically known as the Wilson bill. It contained a clause providing for the levying of an income tax without doing that in accordance with the census; that is to say, in proportion to the population of each state. Senator

& ■, four minutes' walk from the old state house. So, as soon as I was out of school, I went to the hotel, determined to stand on the sidewalk in front of it until I had caught a glimpse of Charles Diqkens. “I think I must have stood there about an hour—it may have been a little longer—when, looking up at one of the windows opening upon the room at the side of the main entrance of tjie hotel, I saw Charles Dickens standing there. I knew him instantly from the photographs I had seen of him. I was attracted by his peculiar waistcoat of very vivid color, from the pockets of which dangled a prodigious watch chain. He alternately tossed the chain in his hands and twisted it around his fingers. I also noticed his eyes, because they were very blue. After a while he put his hands into his pockets, and stood looking across the street, not noticing me at first He looked at me steadily for I do not know how many minutes. I stared at him steadily in return. I remember that I thought: ‘This is the man who told me about Sam Weller,’ who was one of the great favprites of my boyhood days. • “I wonder what Dickens thought of me! .He certainly looked, me through and trough. We must have been, in fact, a spectacle, the lad and the famous author staring at each other '“At last Dickens spoke, and the words have been treasured in my memory ever since. This is what he 1 said, and I heard him distinctly, al--1 though he spoke through the window: ■ ‘Go away, little boy, go away.’ Then 1 he waved his hand gently, smiled upon me, and with that benediction I de- ■ parted. ' “I did not see him again until 1867, t when he made his second visit to ’ America. He had changed greatly in I physical appearance, excepting that * his eyes retained that brilliant blue 1 tint, the bluest eyes I ever saw.” 1 (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards All f Rights Reserved.)

that way they can meet upon common ground.” * I Perhaps it should be added that the railroad which Mr. Garrett headed for a quarter of a century from 1858 until his death in 1884, was of the greatest service to the United States government during the Civil war in the transportation of troops and materials. And during the entire period of Mr. Garrett’s presidency he was without a superior in the world of railway transportation. (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) Household Debate. “I could have done better than to I marry you." • “You bring that question up at in- j opportune times, my deaf.

Figg—That was a mighty appropriate text the parson took for poor Brassie’s funeral sermon. Fogg—What was it? Figg—“He has finished his course.”

Hill not only regarded this clause of the income tax as unconstitutional, because the constitution provides that an income tax must be levied according to the census, but, in addition, he felt that were a tax of that kind levied and collected, the tendency would be seriously to threaten the equality of the states in their representation in their federal senate. Senator Hill therefore prepared a speech which has now gone upon record as one of the ablest of all the speeches delivered in the senate since the time o| the Civil war. In this matter he stooc almost alone among his Democratic associates, and the senate passed the Wilson bill, much amended, but with the original income tax clause unchanged. This was the tariff bill Which President Cleveland refused to sjgn, characterizing it as a bill of perfidy and dishonor. After the bill had become law, it was determined to make a speedy test of the constitutionality of the Income tax clause, and when those who had united to forward this important judicial proceeding consulted as to who, among the lawyers of the United States, could make the ablest argument before the Supreme court, all were of the opinion that Senator Hill was the man. The senator was therefore approached and asked, practically in these words, whether he would accept a retainer to argue the case: “Senator, we have unanimously agreed that you, better than any other lawyer of whom we have knowledge, would make a convincing argument before the Supreme court. We have therefore decided to ask you to accept a retainer simply to make that argument, and we are prepared to offer you a retainer of $5,000.” For some moments the senator was silent He seemed to be considering the proposition from all sides. At last he said: “I should greatly like to make the argument before the Supreme court I would be willing to make It without a retainer; I regard the subject as of vital consequence. But it does not seem to me as though it would square with my view of the ethics of senatorial service if I were to accept your retainer. I made my appeal as a senator to my colleagues In the senate. I spoke with earnestness and In all sincerity. A majority of the senate, however, disagreed with me. Now, If I, having been defeated in the senate, were to make an argument before the Supreme court upon this Issue, it would seem as though, having been defeated in the senate, I at once resorted to the Supreme court. No, I do not think that I would be justified In accepting this retainer, although I say again that I should greatly like to make the argument.” After this refusal the party sought other counsel, who argued the case before the Supreme court, and won IL And when the opinion was read it was discovered that it practically adopted the line of argument made by HUI In the federal senate.

REIGN OF SATIN HERE SUITS OF THAT MATERIAL SEEN EVERYWHERE IN PARIS. Coats Often Are Short With Collars of Various Forms, and the Skirts Are Cut in Straight Lines. In Paris, whether it be driving along the boulevards or walking in I the Bois; whether in the delightful little tearooms spotted in the shopping districts or at luncheon at the ex- ■ elusive restaurants In the suburbs, the suit of satin is seen to such an extent that it is an assured fashionable 1 fact. Satin is not shiny, papery material that the word might at first suggest. It is soft, lustrous, supple, yet it holds the shape well. It is richest in black, yet the deep royal blues, the smoke grays and the browns are steadily gaining in favor. Many of these satin suits have coats that are short and straight. The empire line is emphasized in cut or in trimming. Long revers are frequently of another color or of lace. These satin suits are charmingly combined with wide silk braid. They are corded and trimmed with buttons and black-and-white moire is used to form collars and cuffs. The collar is shown in different forms. There is, of course, the sailer collar, modified now and combined with another fwrm of contrasting satin or silk. Then there is the round collar that sweeps across the back in a

FLOUNCES ARE ADJUSTABLE Several Ruffles to Button on Close Fitting Jersey Petticoat, Matching Various Gowns. Adjustable flounc.es in petticoats are not entirely new, but until recently it has not been easy to buy ready made these convenient transformations. Nor one can indulge in a close fitting jersey top—which will outwear half a dozen flounces —and with it several ruffles to button on. One of these flounces can be of soft satin finely knife plaited and edged with a ruche; another more serviceable of moireen, tucked and with a narrow plaiting at bottom; a third of changeable silk. The flounces are finished with a buttonholed band, while buttons to correspond are placed on the petticoat. In this way it is easy to use remnants of dress lining and have a petticoat to match each gown. Such a petticoat is convenient for the traveler, as the flounces fold into much smaller compass than the same number of skirts. Machine Tucks. A peculiarity of some of the very prettiest French lingerie waists of the season is that the tucks are put on by machine and not by hand, although the waists are trimmed with real lace and a bit of hand embroidery. The reason is that they are intended for wear, and only machine-run tucks will stand the summer resort washerwoman. “Hand-run tucks run,” said a lover nf fine stitching. “If you look at them they run, and the fine thread necessary for fine handwork has no show whatever in a steam laundry. In my i opinion that is where these so-called hand laundresses send their work, for I no two hands could finish the amount i some women take home and return on time. The most expensive waists I have last no time at all when I am away for the summer unless they are dry cleaned, and for that they have to be sent to town, and’it’s an expensive proposition.” Flood of Low Collars. The neckwear departments of the stores still display the high stock, the high turn-down collar of plain or embroidered linen, the soft outing collar with its jeweled safety pin, but all these old favorites are fairly submerged in the flood of low turn-down collars, stiff and soft. For the most part, however, these low collars are made in soft materials, the stiff variety being the lar Eton, and the Eton with the long nolnts in front.

circular line, but ends in revers at the front, closing low at the side. These suits have the skirts cut in straight lines, and many of the new braid-trimmed models show the deep yoke or the skirt of braid or many folds of satin applied in horizontal lines around the hips. Just to give a touch of color to these black satin suits, the linings of the coats are usually of a bright shade, either plain, striped or brocade. Persian silks are also used, and no thought is spared on the linings, a gen* erous supply of pockets and' convenient holders being given to the best efforts of our Paris designers. The silk or satin suit is undoubtedly able to fill a demand that has heretofore not been met. It stands halfway between the cloth suit and the ornate afternoon gown, end the weaker is just as happy as the medium. SEASON OF SENSIBLE DRESS Short, Narrow Skirts, Turnover Cellars, Lack of Petticoats and Beits and Light, Pinless Hats. It really looks as though we were again facing a season of sensible clothes. This may sound like an extravagant statement in view of the freakishness that has been offered, but those who deal in the subject of hygiene and health for women are in favor of the clothes of today. The short, narrow skirts, with their freedom from weight, the high waist, with its freedom from lacing, the long coutil corsets which protect the vital organs, the elastics w hich do not bind the limbs, the sensible boots with their sturdy soles and high uppers, the turnover collar, which does not press upon the thyroid gland and puncture the skin with its high bones; the lack of petticoats and belts about the waist, which tighten and stop circulation; the simple coiffure which replaces the large artificial one, and the lightweight, pinless hats which cannot produce headache or fatigue, all make for health. It looks as though the summing’up of the distinct advantages of modern dress prove that we have the balance of sense and comfort on fashion’s side. The Collarless Neck. Women no longer young must take care about wearing collarless frocks. If their necks are long and scrawny they must either have them massaged between now and summer, or else invest in Brussels net

Millions are born with eczema, and it is the only thing other millions have left when they die. Neglect in infancy and childhood, irritating conditions affecting the skin, ignorance of its real nature, improper remedies and many other causes that might be mentioned have created an eczema which, with varying severity, has afflicted countless numbers during their entire lives; Eczema is a skin disease. It is not regarded as hereditary, nor contagious, and is Impartially distributed among j the rich and poor, the high and low. i The agonizing itching and burning of ’ the skin, causing loss of sleep, is usuali ly the most distressing symptom and is i caused by the bursting of little vesicles i filled with an acrid fluid, which burns ■as with fire the denuded skin. New ; vesicles form, fill and burst, scales I form upon scales, and crusts upon • crusts until disfigurement is added to i torture.
