This is what Aldace F. Walker, chair
man of the joint committee of the Trunk
Line and Central Traffic associations,
sys about railroad rates in The Railway
Age and Northwestern Railroader: "The
fact is and it is so often overlooked tliat
it must bo stated strongly the ratcmak
ir.g power of a railway comjiar.y is its
highest cr. reunite function. It u a cbr-r-tcr
power. Its control rests ultimately
in tbe state. Li acts of incorporation
this power is universally conferred upon
the boards of director the highest seat
of corporate authority. It should have
been treated with seriousness and as rep
resenting the most important duty of the
several boards. But instead of this our
country has been treated to a carnival of
rate rates rates. Hundreds of thou
sands of tariffs have been filed in Wash
ington during the last five years. The
directors of every corporation have prac
tically abdicated this most important
duty and have left it in the hands of sub
ord nates, who have patiently developed
a uiott ingenious confusion through
which they alone are competent to J ick
their way."
Tba Color of the Waistcoat.
Life learns from private sources that
when a gentleman goes to an entertain
ment to which he has received an en
graved invitation he should wear a white
waistcoat. If the invitation is written,
he timply wears the usual black waist
coat It is perhaps unuecessi'.ry to in
form our readers that the man who ig
nores this rule is no genth man. Still
we hardly like to advise a hostess to
eject from her house every man whose
waistcoat is not in perfect harmony with
his invitation.
It is not to be expected, however, that
his welcome will be as warm as if Lis
waistcoat were what it ought to ls.
Should he be. for instance, a distin
guished author, a high church dignitary
or an eminent scientist, the hostess might
allow him to sit in the kitchen rather
than have him ejected from the prem
ises. Life.
Govrriimrtil Control of Railroads.
Abler men than I have proved to sat
isfaction that under government care
not only could cheaper railroad accom
modations V obtained, but better ones,
and tbe examples of Germany, Russia
aud Australia have demonstrated th:;i
it is as practicable for railroads to 1-e
run by the government as it is to ndmin
istrate the mailing system or to Lar.di;
an army and navy. What dLTerence
would there 1 between a navy yard and
a car shop? It has been demonstrated
by these countries that, though the ac
commodations are better and cheaper,
t-till a surplus remains, which, flows hack
to the pecple, and, wliat is more impor
tant, that thcTa is no possibility of rail
ro:id strikes, end thus of a sudden in
terruption of the circulation of com
modities.
I ha e endeavored to place only one
i-.le of the question in iu proper lbrht
v z., that new times require new forms
of government, and that the functions
t.f tbe government must constantly be
i lianged so as to adapt themselves to tbe
Leeds of the jxsople, which in their turn
Hi brought about by changing condi
tions. If this one side of tho question bo
properly understood, all arguments aud
bjoctioTJ against the nationalization of
railroads must fall to the ground. This
tme side of the question once understood,
methods and tneani to arrange and ac
complish tbe nationalization of railroads

! Perhaps tbe greater: postal advance cf
! recent time is that which England haa
juit decided to adopt penny postage
for its vast eirpire. The Eritish post of
fice departtieut, after ir.nch urging, has
finally accepted this prcposiiion, which
lias been pressed for years by that inde
fatigable reformer, .Sir. Eenneker Hea

rangements can be made the uniform
imperial posttge of a penny 3 cents
will be established, and for that amount
a letter can be carried from England not
only to Canada and the West Indies, but
to India, Australia and even the center
t-f Africa. Tin is the cheapest postage
tver proposed.
The United States has been making
many improvements of late in postal
matters, but it lias never been able to
catch up with England, who?a lead in
this matter we must acknowledge, and
it is a striking tribute to the success of
tbe English system that, superior as it is
to ours, it yet nets a profit of $15.00,000
a year to tbe goveniment, whereas we
usually have a deficit in our postoffice
accounts. The truth eeeni to be that
the better tbe postal service the greater
tbe profit The United States, under
these circumstances, can well afford to
nuke radicpl improvements, certain that
it will be repaid for them in a short time.

A story is out on a certain young man
' whose purse is not tbe most plethoric,

peared that there would not be any cold
weather, and be found himself iu some-
i what straightened circumstances, he
pawned liis overcoat. At tbe expiration
cf tbe pledge, tbe weather 6tiil bei:i
mild, he neglected to renew it. The coat
not being called for, the pawnbroker
sold it to a colored man. Two or thre
days after, tbo dude wanted tha coat.

ing that it had been sold. lie ascer
tained the address of the colored man to
whom it ha 1 been sold. He found the
fellow, paid him tbe amount that he had
paid tbe pawnbroker and took his coat.

who have engaged in th:.t business that
a god season always follows a winter

after a period of intense frost and fur
nishes a hirger jxrrentageof sugar. Not
only that, but the trees yield a larger
quantity cf sap after a cold winter than
they do after a winter that has frequent
thaws aud periods of warm weather.
The snow in our county is very deep,
and unless remarkably warm weather
6honld coino it will be on the ground
until wefl along in April. There is such
an immense body of it that sugar mak

tliat the face of a boy not more than 6

Wedding Cakea, Near Style.
Who was tbe inventor of the new wed
ding cakes? Whoever ho was he de
serves immortalizing, for bis was a bril
liant idea, cue I should have been "real
proud of" myself had I thought of it In
the wedding cake of more ancient type
there was always a thick layer of white
sugar which nobody cared about, a
medinm layer of almond paste which
every bod ywiihed for and did not always
get, and an immense quantity of cake
of which many only ate a few crumbs.
The Litest specimen has a thin layer
of sugar, only just enough to look pretty,
and underneath are alternate layers of
cake and almond paste, one as thick as
the ether.
The consequence is that no one is de
frauded of their lawful share of almond
pacte or "love," as it is usually called,
and for purposes of distribution it is far
better, as the contents of the box do not
crumble away nearly so much as they did
whea tbe principul portion was cake
alone. If only some one would invent a
box which could not be rifled and was
bound to reach its lawful destination,
we should have nothing left to desire.

Every actor likes to boast of a long
run. He doesn't care whether it is a
financially successful "run" or not If
it is not successful financially, it always
is artistically, and so on a long run tbe
success is bound to come in one way cr
the other.
"You had quite a long run, didn't
you?" asked one actor of another up in
the billiard room of the Five A's club re
cently. The actor of whom this question had
been asked had done the "leads" in a
melodrama on a one night stand route
for several weeks. Everybody in the
club bad said that the show would only
stay out for a week. They were mis
taken, for it did stay out nearly four
weeks. The name of the attraction
might have been "The Ducket of Wood."
That would have fitted the play anyway
better than the name under which it was
billed.
"Oh, yes," replied the "lead," it was
a pretty long run, about a mile and a
half. We would have dona the turn
easily cross lots, as we intended, but the

Cne speaker, referring to the prevalent

they grew.
"No," was the reply. "I don't think
about it; I knows they do."

Workmen put np a telephone soma
weeks ago in an ofiice in a building near
the Brooklyn jurv yard, and later on
other workmen carried iu a number of
coffins of various sizes and styles of fin
ish and set them np in different orna
I mental positions. Neighbors looked on
I with a curious sort of interest All this
; weird activity was tho outfitting of a
business that ia something bmn.1. new in
corporate enterprise. It was ibi practi
cal beginning of a project of sibling
citizens to provide while still alive for
their own or their friends' burial upon
tbe same system as life insurance is car
ried on, and at rates that are a slxh at
the "union prices" of tbe Undertakers'
association. The cofSns were samples
of the cut rr.te wares.
The new business is done by a series
of contracts with customers whereby
the projectors of the burial busino-s
agree to furnish decent burial tt prices
that range anywhere from $30 for a child
to !50 for an adult A $'S0 interment,
for instance, is obtained by paying 'M
centson signing a contract and 30 era's
Biontlily thereafter until the f "j0 is paid.
At the $C30 burial the rate is raised to
fi.50 on signing and $2.00 a month.
The contracts contain this binding
clause:
The preparation and preservation of
tho body for interment. One casket and
name plate. Chestnut or oak outside
case. Extra bine shroud. Door band.
Hearse and five coaches. Attendance of
undertaker r.t funeral. Opening and fill
ing the grave. New York Sun.
Catching a Itnnawar Car.
As a freight train was pulling out past
Sheridan Station, seven miles from Pitts
burg, on the Panhandle railroad, a
heavily loaded car, the last of the train,
broke loose and started back on the
down grade toward Pittsburg.
The operator at Sheridan teli-grapbed
back over the line all the way to Pitts
burg to look out for the runaway car.
At Ingram station stood an engine ready
to go out When the operator there got
word that a loose car was flying back
over the track ho notified the engineer
and fireman of the engine, and they pre
pared to pursue the car. Within a few
minutes tho runaway came thundering
along at tbe rate of thirty miles an horr
As soon as it passed tho engine started
after it.
Then ensued a wild and exciting chase.
The car flew along and the engine after
it. Over the b;ng -foot high trestle at
Temperanceville the two thnndered, and
tbo engine caught up to the runaway
near the Poiut L'ridge station. The en
gineer ran back over the tender, coupled
onto the car and then began to slow np,
but did not stop until he was at the Bir
mingham station in the city. There a
large crowd of people had gathered to
see the pursued and pursuer come iu,
greeting both with a cheer. Cor. Phila

A New Rote.
It is curious that the greatest attrac
tion of the cbrysanthemum show Bhould
be a new rose, magnificent clusters of
which Are to he found in the foyer. It
is called the American LVlle, a:: 1 ii it a
sport from too American Beauty. Juhn
Burton, of Chestnut Hill, a great rosa
grower, while glowing American Beau
ties found this variation, and this sport
of nature will bring him a small for
tune. It hr.piiens that as tho American
Beauty fades; it grows darker, and there
fore loses its delicacy. The sport is
lighter, and as it fades grows lighter
still pale6 and pales, like a fading maid
en dying with unrequited love or con
sumption. 1c is nn artistic rose, and has made a
great hit. It has taken two silver cups
one at the New i crk s uow just closed.
It got a silver medal at the Boston show,
and it takes the modjil in the show here.
So of course it mnst be a beauty. Half
a dozen Cmis of florists have offered to
take all the flowers Mr. Purton has at
las own prices. As yet he has made no
cuttings for the iiuuket, so that he has a

Opinion or a Head Millionaire.
A disinterested citizen gathered seme
opinions touching a dead millionaire. A

"Yell, ho hitdt to leaf his Bullions le
Lindt him!" A naval officer was glad of
tbe end. A young business man hoped
that the country would uever again se3
such a career. An eh-vated railway
guard said: "He's dead, and Tin sorry
for it. Jicbtie he done them as tried to
do him, but ho wanted tbe company to
