ONE MILL A WORD. Protest of the Western Union Telegraph Company Against the Government Rate. The protest of the Western Union telegraph company against the Postmaster General's great cut of the rates to be paid for telegraph service in the transmission and delivery of government messages, giving the history and objects of the act of 1368, and the actions here- tofore taken under it, is published. It is said that the rate in force for the past five years has not been a uniform rate of one cent per word, as many papers have assumed, but in- creasing on a scale of distance above 1,000 miles, with a minimnm of 20cents per message ands maximum of 234 cents per word. The telegraph companies hold and are so legally ad- vised that the language of the act does not give the Postmaster General absolute power to fix any rate be may deem fit. That power is “qualified by constitutional restrictions. e protest gives statistics of —— and expenses of the company to show eo eX- ases are about 75 per cent of the total earn- , and that if the government rates are less than 75 per cent of the rates given the public then the government business is done at a loss, It is argued that the rates of the past year ought, therefore, to have been increased in- stead of diminished. The government, it says, now saves $100,000 by the reduced cost of its telegraph service below what other patrons have to pey. and that this is really at the ex- pense of other patrons, ‘THE NEW RATES, Continuing, the protest says: “As to the rate named for the ensuing fiscal year in your offi- cial circular to the telegraph companies of June 29 ultimo, which you say ‘will be one mill 8 word, tive of distance, for all mes- sages, day or night,’ I have only to say that it would not reimburse what this company has to y for the clerical services in receiving,count- of checking.numbering and booking the mes- before its transmission; that it would not Feltburse what this company has to. pay for the time of any one of from seven to eleven operators that would be engaged in the trans- mission of a message from Washington to Port- land, Oregon; that a message of the ordinary length would not reimburse what we have to pay for its delivery by messenger after it has Feached its destination, to say nothing of any part of the cost of maintaining the lines, bat- tery supplies, stationery, superintending offices taal oor incidental expenses, and, finally, it would not reimburse the cost to this company of gathering me business, making up the ac- counts and making the collection, * * * “As instructed by the executive committee of the board of directors, I most tfully make this the protest of the Western Union telegraph company, and of the subordinate telegraph companies which it controls, against any further reduction below the rates in operation during the last few years of tolls to be paid by the government for the transmission of its mes- sages asa wrong and injustice to this company, to its thirty-six hundred stoekholders and to its ion of other customers,” ———see WANTS TO FIGHT SULLIVAN. Peter Jackson Anxious for a Go at the Champion. Peter Jackson, the Anstralian heavy-weight, is in Buffalo, N. ¥., having a ten days’ set-to with various local hitters with soft gloves. He is accompanied by his trainer, Charles E. Davies, and is on a two months’ vacation, during which he will visit Europe, and possibly sparwith Jem Smith. When seen yesterday he had just downed three bottles of Mumm’s extra dry, and was feeling very jolly until the name of ‘Sullivan was mentioned. Then his whole expression changed. “I would give anything to fight that man,” said he, clenching his fists. “But he dare not fight me. He knows that my contract vith the Oslifornia athletic club prevents my reet: him outside of the club rooms, and he Zev will come there.

The father of four big, healthy and growing sons unburdened himself in the following Strain in my hearing last evening: “At first I thought this flannel shirt business was a great thing,” said he. “It will save laundry bills, I thought, and so when my boys one after another put in applications for the article I made no objection. Each of them got a fine flannel shirt, and, for a while, was happy. Was that the end of it? Well, Iguess not. Tom, my eldest, came to me afew days after and said: ‘Paw, can'tI have a pair of cool, com- fortable tan shoes; they look so well with a flannel shirt for a neglige costume, don’t yon know." A year ago would have brained him if he'd used such a word, but I'm learning to bear a great deal lately, so I only sighed and Denghs hiss the shoes. Instantly there was a howl from the other three hopefuls. If Tom had tan shoes so must they. I averted the storm by taking them all three down vown and fitting them out as they wished, and then I thought my troubles were surely over. Not so, however. This morning that little dude Tom dropped into the office and ecol remarked that all the other boys who had flan- nel shirts and tan shoes had also a ‘blazer’ jacket and a pair of white flannel] tennis trowsers apiect. I succumbed after a while, knowing that to surrender to Tom meant a similar course tothe otherthree. This evening I a miu- formed that they each want a 27 tennis racket. Of course I'm going to fix ‘em out, for I mean my boys to have what other boys have, so long as they are good.

From the Meriden (Conn.) Repablican. Farmer Sawyer of Wallingford had quite an experience last winter with his cattle. His stock of hay ran out, and being unable to get more in time he gave the cows some of the dry leaves he had collected for bedding, and he was surprised to see that they appeared to enjoy them. The leaves went to well that he con- cluded that he wouldn’t get any more hay for & while, and, in fact, leaves were the only thing t the six cows and two horses lived on dur- ing the last half of the winter. While eat hay the cows had given twelve quarts of weekly, yielding thre pounds of butter. After being put on the diet of leaves the quantity and quality of the milk increased until they gave fifteen quarts of milk, yielding seven pounds of butter. Mr. Sawyer intends to use nothing but leaves during the winter hereafter, 84 the leaves can be had for the trouble of col- oa them, and are better than costly hay or ury which own marble statues which graced the drawing my ancestors you will madam.” ive firm of Simpson, Ferret & Simpson. veiled lady is engaged in an earnest conversa- tion with the greatest detective of the age.

The Fatal Curiosity of the Wife of a Mysterious Billionaire. From the Evening Sun. “And you sre not happy, Hortense?” “Happy !" The intense scorn with which Hortense Mont- morenci uttered the word cannot be adequately expressed in cold, pulseless type. “Happy !” She moved rapidly across the great drawing- room to where her husband stood under the great crystal chandelier with its myriads of wax lights casting a soft glow over the rich fur- nishings of the apartment, “Happy!” The lovely woman looked like a queen as she stood there in her superb toilet and looked with — disdain full in her husband's eyes, “Hay #¥ “That's what I said.” ‘There was a suspicion of you-make-me-tired- ness in Herbert Cecil Montmorenci’s tone as lie carelessly flipped the ashes from his ci, tte upon the rich gobelin tapestry carpet with an air of well-bred ease. He wasa tall, handsome man, was Herbert Cecil Montmore: and he wore his dress suit with that indescribable grace which is so char- acteristic of your true aristocrat and your En- glish society actor. There were no flies on his style and bearing. “Have I not surrounded you with every lux- an’s ingenuity can suggest and money buy?" he asked, with a slight sneer just playing around the corners of his well-bred moath. ‘Have I not gratified your slightest whim regardless of the cost? Is there a better dressed woman ig all the circle of your ac- quaintance?

Madam, I myself will shadow him if need be day and night, but I will discover all. “Enough said.

Again we are in the palatial home of Herbert Cecil Montmorenci, the mysterious billionaire. Herbert and Hortense are sitting tete-a-tete at the table in the breakfast room. It is fur- nished entirely in light blue and white. The walls are covered with silken draperies and dainty aquarelles of fishing and hunting scenes. There is an air of refinement and subdued lux- ury everywhere. “Once more, and for the last time, Herbert, Lask you to tell me what your business is says Hortense as she toys with her golden te: spoon and glances across the table at her hus- band. once more, and for the last. time, I re- answers Herbert with a grim smile, as he daintily wipes his mouth with e point-lace napkin, “You positively refuse?” “I positive “Enough.” The lady stretches forward her dainty jew- elled hand and touches a golden bell. A state- ly butler enters with noiseless tread. “Johnson, tell Mr. Simpson I will see him here at once.”. The butler disappears and in the next mo- ment ushers in Theophilus Y. Simpson, the famous detective. He bows politely to Mr. and Mi@. Montmorenci and stands waiting in si- lence. “You have followed my instructions?” in- quires Hortense eagerly of the detective. “I have, madam.” “And you succeeded?” “And his business?” she asks, rising part way from her g Louis XV chair in her increas- ing excitement. ‘There is dreadful pause and asilence so intense that it seems to fill the room to suffo- cation and be trying to burst the limits of the walls and escape into the world at large. This lasted fuily thirty seconds. Then the detective Jeans forward and ina voice trembling with the intensity of his emotion says in « hoarse whioper: “He is the head waiter in a Coney Island hotel. With the smothered shriek of a stifled maniac Hortense fell prone upon the Assyrian carpet, Herbert arose quietly, calmly lighted a cigar- ette, and, turning to the detective, said ina tone of cool villainy: “I have played my game and I have lost. I wish you Joy of your vic- tory.” Then pointing to the prostrate figure of Hor- tense he smiled sardouically and left the room with the well-bred ease so characteristic of the true aristocrat aud head waiter. see A Fearful Stroke of Lightning.

Beauties of All Ages. Blonde hair as a fashion can be traced back to a classic, romantic, pictorial or poetic source; it was equally irresistible in Rome when Rome was the mistress of the world, and in Venice when Venice was the recognized queen of the Adriatic. We find it illustrated or recorded by the pens of Ovid and Catullus and the pencils of Titian and Giorgione. The Chloes, Pyrrhas and Cynthias, as well as the Lauras, Lucretias and Leonoras, were blondes; and the manner in which they acquired or increased their in- dispensable attractiveness in this respect has supplied material for many a curious chapter in the history of morals and manners, In the sixteenth those who were not enth century wi i and what at at the of the fiftee at | but « caprice of fer, under ‘Titian and.
