A finvrtnirnt. A Missouri in 11 tells of an Irish man named Conghlin, who lived in a shanty standing in a field near the main highway from Kansas City. The foundations of the shanty were lower than the road, through which ran a big water main. As the living floor of the place was raised on posts to make it level with the highway, it left a large cellar underneath, where Coughlln kept a dozen hens. One day the water main burst, flooding the cellar and drowning the nens. Whereupon Coughlln took steps to enter a claim for damages against the city. After much delay Influential friends succeeded in se curing the sum of $25 in settlement of Coughlln's claim. "I've got me money!" shouted tho Irishman to a neighbor sitting on the iteps of the next shanty. "It's glad that I am to hear thot," was the reply. "And how much was it, Coughlln?" "Twlnty-foive dollars." "And phwat are ye gon' to do with .he twlnty-foive, Coughlln?" "I'm goin' to buy twinty-fove dor iarB' worth of ducks," said Coughlln. Harper's Weekly. Many Papers.

"My little baby was given up by three doctors, who said that the con densed milk on which 1 had fed her had ruined tho child's stomach. One of the doctors told me that the only thing to do would bo to try Grape Nuts, so I got some and prepared it follows: I soaked Hi tablespoon fuls In one pint of cold water for half an hour, then I strained off the liquid and mixed 12 teaspoonfiils of this trained Grape-Nuts JuhSe with six teaspoonfuls of rich nfllk. put in a Pinch of salt and a little sugar, warmed it aiid gavo it to baby every two hours.

Advises Pacific Coast Boats Thinks It Would Be of Advantage In Transporting Supplies to the Canal Criticises Pacific Mall Co. For Attempting to Monopolize Railroad. Washington, D. C. J. L. rtrlslow, of Kansas, who was appointed a spe cial commissioner of the Panama Railroad last August, with instruc tions to report whether it was advis able to establish a Government steam ship lino between Panama and Pa cific Const ports of the United States, has made a report to the Secretary of War. In which he says that "the weight of the argument Is strone ly In favor of establishing this service." Mr. Bristow. who first come info the public eye as Fourth Assistant Postmaster-Oenpral at the time of the postal scandals which he Investi gated for President Roosevelt, had served under a previous appointment as a special commissioner of the Pan ama Railroad, with directions to in vestigate freight rates and trade ex isting between United 8tntes. South American, European and Panaman ports. As a result of his inquiry at that time the Panama Railroad was continued as a commercial line un der the United States Government, the Panama Rallrond Steamship Line, between New York and Colon, was re tained and operated by the Govern ment, and contracts of an exclusive character with the Pacific Mail Steam ship Company were annulled. Un der his second commission Mr. Bris tow was instructed to Investigate spe cifically the service rendered by tho Pacific Mail Steamship Company "with a view to advising whether or not the Isthmian Canal Commission should purchase steamers and estab lish a service between Panama and the Pnclflc Coast ports of the United States, to be operated In conjunction with the steamers now running be tween New York and Colon." In his report Mr. Bristow criticises the service of the Pacific Mall Steam ship Company to Panama. He thinks n Government line on the Pa cific coast would be desirable for the transportation of canal sunplleB and materials and canal emploves, for keeping open and Improving the Isth mian route of commerce and for nro curlng cargo for the Panama Rail road steamships homeward bound from Colon. Mr. Bristow represents General Manager Schwerin, of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, as com plaining against the action of the United States in permitting foreign lines to use the Isthmian Railway upon the same terms as American lines. Mr. Bristow argues that as the canal when com","f'l If rtB to the use of all mtions on equal terms, there Bliould be no discrimination now against foreign steamships. Mr. Bristow says that to perform the service required on the Pacific Coast would necessitate the purchase of from sit to nine vessels. Hs esti mates the cost of these vpssels as fror.i $3,500,000 to $6,000,000. REAR-ADMIRAL CAPPS ANSWERS CRITICS OF BATTLESHIPS Chief of the Repair Bureau Defends the Freeboard Style of the American Navy He Recommends a Change In the , Hoists Greater Speed Gained In the Dreadnought Type. Washington, D. C. Rear-Admiral Washington Lee Cnpps, Chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repair of the Navy Department, made an swer to the critics of the navy at a hearing before the House Committee on Naval Affairs. To the minds prac tically of all the members of the com mittee, Admiral Capps' statements were a complete refutation of the charges which have been made against certain features of the con struction of American battleships. Admiral Capps displayed no ani mosity or ill-feeling toward the chronic and scientific fault-finders, and discussed the subject of naval ar chitecture in a dispassionate way. While he riddled the Reiiterdahl ar ticle In McClure's Magazine In Its general features, still he gave credit to certain criticisms made. In partic ular he admitted the justice of the criticism of the ammunition hoists on battleships. He advocated a com plete change of hoists, and asked for an appropriation of $175,000 to this end. The Admiral discussed at length the question of high free boards and low free boards on battleships. He aid that the general type of naval architecture which is followed by the Board of Construction Is the same as has been followed since 1889. This style was adopted by Great Britain after the subject had been considered thoroughly and exhaustively by tho leading naval architects and experts of the country, in fact, of the world. It is the style generally followed to day by England In the building of her biggest ships. He said that If there was one na tion more than any other which by reason of sea-fighting experience should be able to distinguish between the respective value of a high free board and a low free board, that na tion was Japan. He pointed out that Janan had fol lowed the plan of low free boardB, while Russian ships had tho high free boards. The Russian ships are now at the bottom of the sea, while Japanese ships are still floating. Since the Russian-Japanese war, the Japanese have been building their ships so that the free boards are Btlll lower. It had been ascertained that the Russians, apparently realizing the error of their high free boards when going to battle in the Sea of Japan, had pumped water between their decks, and had even loaded nal in the staterooms of the officers In order to get their ships as close to the water as possible, and afford the least pos sible taget. American ships, he said, had a lit tle more free board than the Japan ese and a little less than the English ships of tho Dreadnought type, the English, in order to get greater speed having been forced to allow a little more free board. The questions raised in the Reuter dahl article, he said, had afforded subjects for argument, dispute, con troversy and discussion among naval architects since the construction of the modern navy began and doubt less always would do so. There was always a fight between armor men and armament men, between steam engineering departments and other departments, but the result In. the end had been the construction of ves sels which present the best knowledge of naval architects. No nation had followed the French style of naval construction. That was a distinctive class by Itself, but In general there wasslmllarlty among the English, American and Japanese styles. THE CANAL SAFE IN TIME OF WAR Colonel Goethals, In a Report at Washington, Says It Will Not Be Hard to Defend. Washington, D. C. At the hear ings of the Senate Committee on In teroceanlc Canals, Colonel Goethals gave assurance that the Panama Canal, when completed, would be reasonably 'safe from military Invasion-, and said that the chances of the crippling of the canal by spies armed with dynamite will be small, provided that armed guards are main tained at Mlraflores and Gatun locks.

Mr. Herbert Knox Smith, whoso zeal In the cause of economic reform has been in no wise abated by tho panic which he and his kind did so much to bring bn, is out with an an swer to President Moffett, of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. Tho publication of thi answer. It Is offtclnlly given out, was de layed several weeks, "for business reasons," betcause It was not deenred advisable to further excite the public mind, which was profoundly disturbed by the crisis. Now that the iorm clouds have rolled by, however, tho Commissioner rushes again into the fray. Our readers remember that the chief points In the defence of the Standard Oil Company, as presented by President Moffett, were, ( 1 1 that tho rate of six cents on oil frorr Whiting to East St. Louis has been Is sued to tho Standard Oil Company as the lawful rate by employes of the Alton, (2) that tho IR-cent rate on fllo with tho Inter state Commerce Commission was a class and not a commodity rate, never being Intended to apply to oil, (8) that oil was shipped in large quantities between Whiting and East St. Louis over the Chicago and Eastern Illinois at six and one-fourth cents per hun dred pounds, which has been filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission ns the law ful rate, and (4) that the 18-cent rate on oil was entirely out of proportion to lawful rates on other commodities between these points of a similar charactor, and of greater value, such, for examplo, as Unseed oil, the lawful rate on which was eight cents. President Moffett also statod that thousands ot tons of freight had been sent by other shippers be- I i iwoen inese points under substantially the same conditions as governed tho shipments of the Standard Oil Company. This defence of the Standard Oil Company was widely quoted and has undoubtedly ex erted a powerful Influence upon the public mind. Naturally the Administration, which has staked tho success of Its campaign against the "trusts" upon tho result of Its at tack upon this company, endoavonj to offset this influence, and hence the new dellveranca of Commissioner Smith. Wo need hardly to point out that his re buttal argument Is extremely weak, although as strong, no doubt, as tho circumstances would wnrrant. He answers the points made by President Moffett substantially as follows: (1) The Standard OH Company had a traffic department, and should have known that the six-cent rate had not been filed, (2) no an swer, (3) the Chicago and Eastern Illinois rate was a secret rato because It read, not from Whiting, but from Dolton, which Is described as "a village ot about 1,500 popu lation just outside of Chicago. Its only claim to note Is that It has been for many years the point of origin for this and similar secret rates." The Commissioner admits in describing this rate that there was a note attached stating that the rate could also be used from Whiting. The press has quite generally hailed this' statement ot the Coramlsslouer of Corpora tions as a conclusive refutation of what Is evidently recognized as the strongest rebuttal argument advanced by the Standard. In fact, It Is as weak and Inconclusive as the remainder of his argument. The lines of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois do not ruu Into Chicago. They terminate at Dolton, from which point entrance is made over the Belt Lino. Whiting, where tho oil freight originates, Is not on the lines of tho Chicago and Eastern Illinois, which receives Its Whit ing freight from tho Belt Lino at Dolton. The former practice, now discontinued, in filing tariff was to make them read from a point on tho the line of the filing road, and It was also general to stute on tho same sheet, that the tariff would apply to other points, o. g., Whiting. The Chicago and Eastern Illinois followed this practice in filing Its rate from Dolton, and making a note on the sheet that Is applied to Whiting. This was In 1895 when this method of filing tariffs was In common use. Now lot us see In what way the intending shipper of oil could be misled and deceived by the fact that the Chicago and Eastern Illinois had not. filed a rato reading from Whiting. Commissioner Smith contends that "concealment Is the only motive for such a circuitous arrangement," 1. e., that this method of filing the rate was intended to mislead Intending competitors of the Stand ard Oil Company. Suppose such a prospec tive oil refiner had applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission for the rate from Chicago to East St. I,rrtils ovor tho Chicago and Eastern Illinois, he would hnve been In formed that the only rate filed with the commission by this company was 6 4 cents from Dolton, and he would have been further Informed. If Indeed he did not know this al ready, that this rato applied throughout Chi cago territory. So that whether he wished to locate his plant at Whiting, or anywhere else about Chicago, under an arrangement of long Rtandlng, and which applies to all the Indus trial towns In the neighborhood of Chicago, he could have his freight delivered over the Belt Line to the Chicago and Eastern Illinois at Dolton and transported to East St. Louis at a rate of 6 cents. Where then Is the concealment which the Commissioner of Cor porations makes bo much of? Any rate from Dolton on the Eastern Illinois or Chap pol! on the Alton, or Harvey on the Illinois Central, or Blue Island on the Rock Island, applies throughout Chicago territory to ship ments from Whiting, as to shipments from any othir point In the district. SdSTnr from the Eastern Illinois filing Its rate from Dol ton In order to deceive tho shipper. It Is tho Commissioner of Corporations who either be trays hU gross Ignorance of transportation cuatoms in Chicago territory or relies on the public Ignorance of these customs to deceive the public too apt to accept unquestlonlngly every statement made by a Government official as necessarily true, although, as In the present Instance, a careful examination shows these statements to be false. The final point made by President Moffett that other commodities of a character similar to oil were carried at much lower rates than 18 cents, the Commissioner of Corporations dlscusBes only with tho remark that "the 'reasonableness' of this rate !b not in ques tion. The question Is whether this rate con stituted a discrimination as against other shippers of oil," and he also makes much of the failuro of President Moffett to produce before the grand jury evidence of tho alleged Illegal acts of which the Standard Oil official said that other large shippers in the terri tory had besn guilty. Considering the fact that these shippers Included the packers and elevator men of Chicago the action of the grand Jury in calling upon President Moffett to furnish evidence of their wrong-doing may be Interpreted ns a demand for an elabora tion of the obvious; but the fact that u rate book containing these freight rates lor other shippers wns offered In evidence during the trial and ruled out by Judge Lnndlr, wan kept out of Bight. President Moffett would not, of course, accept the invitation of the grand Jury nlthough he might have been pardoned If he had referred thorn to various official Investigations by the Interstate Com merce Commission and other departments of the Government. We come back, therefore, to the- concluslo-i of tho whole matter, which I:; that th- Stand ard Oil Company of Indiana was fined an amount oqunl to seven or eight times th valuo of its entire property, because Its traffic department did not verify the statement of tho Alton rate clerk, thut the six-cent com modity rate on oil had been properly filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission. There Is no evidence, and none was Intro duced at the trial, that any shipper of oil from Chicago territory had been Interfered with by the elghtoen-cetit rate nor that tha failure of the Alton to file Its six-cent rnte had resulted In any discrimination against any independent shipper, we must take thio on the word of the Commissioner of Cor porations and of Judge Landls. Neither Is It donk-d even by Mr. Smith that the "Inde pendent" shipper of oil, whom he pictures as being driven out of business by this discrim ination of the Alton, could have shipped all the oil he desired to ship from Whiting via Dolton over the lines of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois to East St. Louii. In short. President Moffett'B defence Is s. ill good, and we predict will be declared so by the higher court. Tho Standard Oil Company has brn charged with ull manner of crimes and mis demeanors. Beginning with the famous Itic of Marlettn. pacing down to that apostle of popular liberties, Henry Demarest. Lloyd, with his Wealth Agaln?t the f'nmmonwrnltr. dCRcendlng by oasy stages to Miss Tarhell's offensive personalities, we finally reach the nether depths of unfair and baseless mis representation in t'le report of the Commis sioner of Corporations. The Standard lias been charged with every form of commerc'al piracy and with mo-it of the crimen on thi corporation calendar. After long years ot strenuous attack, under the leadership of tho President of the United States, the corpora tion Is at last dragged to the bar of Justice to answer for Its misdoings. The whole strength of the Government is directed ngainrt It. and at laBt, we are told, tho Standard Oil Com pany is to pay the penally of Its crimes, and it Is Anally convicted of having failed to verify the statement of a rate clerk and Is forthwith fined a prodigious sum, measurad by the car.
