A scaffold was erected in one of the public streets, the imperial provost magistrates and phy gicinns of the Czar attended, the book was separated from the binding, the margins cut off, and every leaf rolled in- to shape. Lhe profost then served leaf after leaf to the author, who swallowed the unpalitable food under fear of the knot. Assoon a8 the physicians were of the opinion that he had received into his stomache a8 much as was consistent with safety, the transgressor was sent back to prison, The business was re sumed the two following days, and after three hearty meals every leaf of the book was actually swallowed, CENTRE INTER- STATE COMMERCE PUZZLES, It is likely that some knotty problems rill be presented to the Inter-State Com- commission at the very outset, he bill suspended so far as they are of the ition on the Mississipi and along The law leaves it to to au- because water rate antic coast, At commission shorter distances in special cases. shall I 10. for on they low they must charge to compete with steam- rates ugh freight The on this proposition will be awaited intense by Tl} general suspension long and short haul not leave the commerce law of value to the public, and if the commission decide that water com- petition will justify evasion of the law nearly every railroad in the country will be able to discover dangerous competi- tion of that kind-in long hauls, Gulf, lake or river competition has an effect more or less direct upon a great part of the in- ter state commerce of the country, an d » lines. action of the commis interest all par ie of the will provision of much Inter-state the roads no doubt expect to tear a great at this Other reasons quite as plausible will be urged hole in the law point. iy roads seeking special exemption from the act,and this application of the Ken- tuckey roads is but the entering point of { a wedge that doom the whole law + to a failure, may If the commission show the ition to make the law flexible i a rush there iasure to be cations for special exemption n that il clause must be abandoned. 1 2 eventual conciusi thi . -—- » Bellefonte Gazette has gone in Bohemian oats the Democracy of ( the on- fall.
