Apparently he alept n good deal: oecnnloniilly he uttered a few words In nn Incoherent, dreamy way, words which thoae who were wntelilnir were unnble to rnteh.

Western prosperity has so greatly overbalanced timidity of eastern cupl'.nl that ac tual business done Increases: rnllrond earnings promise better for May than a month ngo for April, and puyments through clearing houses for the week In Muy show a gain of 3D per cent over last year and J.fi tier cent over 1S!2, while a month ngo the Increase over last year was 3:l.H, and compared -with 1M2 there was a decrease of 7.2 per cent. Several large contracts, kept back for some weeks because of hos tilities, have now been placed, and In stead of works closing or reducing force, returns show the starling of some works Ioiir Idle, nnd Increase of torce or of hours at others. Govern ment works occupied many establish ments, but It counts for little compared with other demands. The key of the situation Is the pros perity of the West, which altogether unprecedented marketing of bread stuffs has caused, with the prospect of good crops to come. There pros pects, and actual receipts of wheat amounting to 7(1.7 IB bushels for the week, ngalnst i!.4M.H:il last year, with advances also In other grnln and cat tle, have produced n demand for rails, cars, car materials, fcuclnir. agricul tural Implements, boots nnd shoes, nnd all textile goods, which was not antici pated from eastern lndli atloiis.

Its DliaAvantage Stieniied by Pre;Mn Iagalli of tha llg Fear. The Injustice and disadvantages of the present Inter-State commerce laws both to the railroads and to the people were ably set forth In n recent address by Mr. M. B. Ingalls, President of the Hlg Four nnd Chesapeake A Ohio rail roads. The orcnslon was the tenth nn nunl convention of Itallrond Commis sioners held In Washington, May 10. Mr. Ingalls sold that the railroads hnd reached a crisis, where something must be done to avoid disaster not only to the railroads but also to the innterlal Interests of the country. Since the enactment of the Inter state commerce law In 1887, some pro vision of thnt Inw has been constantly under consideration either by congress or tho courts. Now It Is admitted that state legislatures have control over the railroads with regard to locnl business end congress has power as regards Inter-state business. In reference to the control of States the Supreme court has Just decided thnt stnte control must be rennnnnble, nnd that rates cannot be reduced below a point where railroads can earn their expenses and a fair profit. In 1SH7 It was decided by the Supreme court that the Shermnn anti-trust law applied to the railroads contrary to tho assertions of railroad men. Under the rulings of this law It was practically Imjxtsslble to make any arrangements for the maintenance of tariffs. Tho tariffs are now but little respected by the rallronds. Prlvnto nrrnngements with lnrge shippers will sooner or Inter utterly ruin the smnller traders. Many railroad managers are carrying freight far below cost. A Ay must be found by which rail road tariffs can be maintained and the practice of secret rates ami contracts discontinued. Tho settlement of this question not only concerns the rail roads but also one-fifth of the people of the country, who are directly inter ested In rnllronds. The chief dllllculty with the Inter state commerce law Is that the pun ishments are entirely out of proportion with the offences. The Imprisonment clause has not public sentiment In Its favor, and It also prevents one railroad from prosecuting another. The public, does not believe In the law nnd what Is the result? Honest railroads see their business going to opposing lines: honest merchunts nre undersold by others who have no scru ples In making private contracts with railroads. Honest railroads and mer chants nre thus compelled of necessity to break the law themselves or face certain ruin. Two changes should lie made In the present laws to better the condition of affairs. First, the Imprisonment clnuse should bo stricken out and a fine of $5,000 Imposed Instead. The shipper should not be punished at all In bis ef forts to secure low rntes. Should ynt punish him you would not be able to secure his testimony. Second, rullroads should be permit ted to contract with each other for the maintenance of rates and the division of business. These would legnllze con tracts between rnllrond corporation. To-day such a contract would bo con spiracy. There should be no friction between the Interstate commerce laws and the rnllronds, but the commission should become the aid of the railroads. Unless some change Is mnde ns has been Indicated the small shippers will be extinguished, and a few men of large capital will control the entire merchandise business. A resolution of thanks was voted Mr. Ingalls for his nddross, and his tuiggostluns were referred to a special committee. A School nirl's Tlnttla. From Tilt Mail, Milford, Int. Miss Emma Ilybolt, a prepossessing eehoo girl of Mllford, lad., Is ot more tliau usual Intelligence, aud ut ambitious to rise lu the literary world.

ODD DUCKS Of PORT TAMPA,. Of the Wild Variety, They Respond Meadlly to Man's Coll, The most Interesting thing at Tort Tampa Is the duck, l'ort Tampa Is collection of piers, but there la a hotel built on piles that are dressed In sewer pipe trousers to keep the teredo awny. No shooting; is allowed around the grounds or the piers, and, of course, not a IMtlo stuff Is thrown from the hotel thnt Is good food for ducks, peli cans and gtills. Accordingly these birds come about the hotel In flocks, nnd not only are they without fear of the people there, but they have learned to come for food when any one whistles for them its If for a dog. "At first It seems as If the birds come as readily to the call of one person as of another, but the fact Is thnt two or three people about the hotel are on speaking terms with them. The birds know their voices, and ore plnlnly very friendly with them. At an old boat landing stage the pelicans gather a doz en at a time, and, sitting there In the sun, preen tlielr feathers and scrnti.'li their ribs with their long, ungainly looking bills. The foot thnt a lot of people are standing six feet away Is In so way disturbing to them unless some tinniHiinorly fellow pokes them with A cane. In that event the bird gives the Intruder a white-eyed' look of astonish ment and titters a protest tn a voice that Is so getttle and delicate as to make one wonder where In the world such an ungainly bird got It. ' Then It flops Its way to safety beyond tho piers. If undisturbed tho pelicans often pil low their heads on their bucks ad take a nap, but In thnt position they nre quickly observed by the tourist who thinks It Is fun to make trouble fot quiet folks, and they are quickly snnred by a cane-crook and sent flapping to the water. "Only the smaller ducks come about the hotel, but they are escedlngly lienti tlful nnd graceful In their movements, while the gulls In their dancing flight nre of endless Interest. No one has txled to teach tho birds to come to hnnd fot fond, It Is said, but It Is plain thnt any one with knowledgo nnd tact and love might establish nn acquaintance there that would enable him to write a most Interesting story about our feathered brothers afloat." Ministers Will no Scarce, During the academic year 18DtV97 tbe twenty-one tionnnn universities granted 2,371 doctors' degree, 1,187 of them In medicine, 820 In philosophy, B35 lu law and 20 In theology.
