I gave a horrified exclamation un- der my breath, to which Modjeska respond- ed under her veil: ” ‘Vat has happened?’ “The steps have rolled away.’ ‘You vill have to jump,” she returned calmly, and I did have to jump. How on earth she got down I don’t know to this day,” Mr. Rob- ertson continued, smiling. ‘The famous actor, in the same interview, says he considers the stage a splendid call- ing for a woman, “given personal appear- @nce, education and perseverance.” The tomb was JOINT R. R. TRAFFIC |_Stonce, 2a4 ant | Probability of Court: Decision Adverse to Association. DISSOLUTION -OF. THE ORGANIZATION Railway Companies Preparing to Meet the New Conditions. OUTLOOK FOR BUSINESS It is anticipated by the railway compa- ries, such of them especially as have kept informed, that the long-delayed decision of the United States Supreme Court in the case of the Joint Traffic Association, when rendered in January, as it is expected will be done, will be ggainst the association, d, as a matter of course, the organiza- tion will have to be dissolved. In this event, it is a matter of national interest to know what ts fo follow. Already the quesiion is being asked: Is the season of prosperity which the entire country is now enjoying to be turned into one of adversity, almost before we have begun to fairly realize ihe dawn of better days—are we so soon. to endure another panic? It is believed by those competent to reply that both questions can be an- swered in the negative. Thet the ‘leading railway minds of the United States are preparing to meet the effects of an adverse decision by the Su- preme Court, as above indicated, is evi- denced by some remarks made recently by one of the most eminent railway prezidents in the country. He said: ‘Whatever de- ductions could be made in the trans-Mis- souri decision, which, as is known, was rendered some months ago, were on the side of the ratiroads. “The decision in January will very likely be against the railways, but with a modi- fication of many of the harsh points in the trens-Mirsouri decision. If against the railways, we shall get together and reform our agreements and adjust them to the de- cision. There seers to be an impression with sume parties that if the agreement in the trans-Missouri case were affirmed in this rehearing, rates would go to pieces and anarchy prevail. No Danger of Anarchy. “There is not the least danger of that. Every railway cfficial understands that some agreement is necessary, and when the court decides what can legally be done we shall all conform to that decision, and so adjust our arrangements as to be-with- in the law and still protect our revenue. It will be much easier to do this from tne fact that there has rot for years been such a steady and persistent effort among rail- way officials to stop quarreling and reduce tariffs and get better rates as there is to- day. “This much easier to Go on account of the shortage of cars. No railway can iake care of the business offering, and, there- fore, there is no inducement to reduce the tariff. Shippers, instead of asking for lower rates, are inquiring now as to when they are likely to get cars. The results will be seen in the earnings of railways for No- vembe and December, when they compare light bus’ of last year. The 's will be phenomenal.” The Transportation Problem. There are few persons who will not admit at the transportation problem is the greatest one confronting our statesmen at this time. There is no other subject, unless it be that of the tariff, with which the welfare of the whole people is so intimate! interwoven. The last report made by t interstate commerce commission to Con- Fs year is shown to be 206 per mile of lin » during the year was $167,11¢ capital was distributed mount of capital siock 1,697,351 was eferred 495,573, The rr S; amounted 1 tock erve funds.

In no other year since the organization of the ion of statis e a per- d its dividends, or, so large a percentage of 1 debt defaulted its interest. Of the ying dividends, 6.89 per cent of th outstanding paid from 4 to per cent of this stock paid per cent; 4.41 per cent paid from 6 to 7 per cent, and 3.9) per cent paid from 7 to $ per cent. The total amount of dividends was $S5,: which would be produced by an avi rate Of 5.74 per cent on the amount of stock on which some dividend was declared. The amount of bonds paying no interest was $614,528, 298, or 13.2% per cent; of miscellaneous ob! gations, $54,496,288, or 1 per cent; of in- come bonds, $21,734,879, or 91.40 per cent.” It is worthy of note that English states- men have had the transportation problem before them since 1838. a period of almost sixty years. The London correspondent of a New York paper, in a letter printed al- st a year ago. said: ‘As early as 1838 an attempt was made to classify goods for rating purposes. This was done under five or six chief heads. A prolonged era of confusion and endless bickering between consignors and con- signees and carriers lasted until about the year 1878, when parliamentary committees began to be appointed on the question. In strict accordance with precedent, these committees effected nothing in particular until about the year 1888, when the board of trade roused itself to action, All the great companies were required ‘to submit complete scales of rates’ for the numerous classes of merchandise. a New Official Schedule. “The board of trade digested the matter for a few odd years until finally, in Janu- ary, 1893, a new official’ schedule of rates came into operation, which represented the maximum beyond which the companies were not allowed to go. “However, while the board of trade had been ruminating the companies had been regulating, with the result that the new lists were found in nearly every instance to be higher than the maximum rates then being charged by the companies. The con- sequence was they were all abolished five months afterward. This lame and impo- tent conclusion somewhat dampened the ardor of these busybodies, who knew much better how to manage technical matters than people who had been used to them all their lives. T..e outcome of the crisis was that the present fairly workable arrange- ment was instituted, by virtue of which the companies fix the maximum rates by peri- odical conference. All traders or bodies of traders who have any substantial griev- ance to ventilate have the right of appeal to the board of trade, who will investigate the matter and make any necessary repre- sentations to the companies respecting the same. Any dispute involving important technical matters may be referred by either party to the railway commissioners, who constitute aMegal court and whose conclu- sions carry the weight of a judicial deci- sion.

The Major's Fine Work Paralyzed the Highwayman. From the San Francisco Call. “I notice,” said Maj. Blazem, the other day, “‘that the police officers of this city do some remarkably fine work with the re- volver occasionally.” The remark was made in a tone of voice loud enough to cause the loafers in the Oc- cidental Hotel lobby to look up and mani- fest some slight interest in life. “Yes. sir,” he continued, looking all around the lobby, “they do very fair work. But I am somewhat of an adept myself at that business, as you will own after having heard my story. “Several years ago—about fifteen, I think —I was riding from San Jose to San Fran- cisco on my safety—" “But, my dear major,” I said, wishing to call his attention to the fact that safeties sir; damme, you do,” he thun- “You are so young, sir, that you do not even know that it is unmannerly to interrupt an older gentleman when he is talking.” The major grew very red in the face of a sudden. Then he cleared his throat vio- lently and began again: “As I was saying, I was riding from San Jose to San Francisco on my safety”—here he glowered at me"—when a footpad, or a wheelpad, I should say, held me up at the point of his pistol. “There was nobody in sight, and so I threw up my hands, just to show him how small they were. “He relieved me of $200, a been in our family since “Before Christ, sir?’ queried a mild-faced gentleman on an opposite chair. “No, sir, after,” retorted the major. “The watch is the identical one by which in later years the captain of the Maytlower regu- lated his cabin timeptece, borrowing it from my ancestor for that purpose. “After going through all my pockets, the robber made me exchange wheels with him and then rode off. “In those days [ always carried a long- barreled 28-cal.ver revolver with me, and it came in handy on this occasion. 1 waited until the robber was about fifty yards ahead of me and then I fired, not at him, but at the tire of his wheel. “Of cour: 1 hit it.

From the Philadelphia Record. One of the chief objects of the French military maneuvers held at Velizy, near Versailles, recently, was to teach soldiers how to save the wounded in warfare by night. When darkness came on word was sup- posed to have been given that many wound- ed men had been left behind on the field of battle, and the order went forth that search parties go out and bring in the missing men. The intention of the authorities was to make a thorough trial of a new search- light apparatus invented by one of the medical staff of the army, Dr. Mareschal. The light can be fixed on a stand or it can be attached to a man, who can by its ald search the darkest recesses of a battle- field inacceBsibie to the rays of a stationary lamp. The apparatus is light and appears to consist of a high-pressure oil lamp, with @ powerful reflector behind it, and a handle to hold it by. the apparatus being fixed as a knapsack to a soldier’s back. It is claim- ed that by means of this searchiight ob- jects can be distinguished in the dark at a distance of 2 yards. —+o+____ Women’s Business Manners. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Although all the pert young business women are not yet subdued, it has been re- marked in a discussion on the place of women in commercial work that the aver- age of feminine manners in offices and vari- ous industrial callings has of late years distinetly improved. One reason of this is Probably that a better class of women now think it no degradation to make their own living. In telephone work they have beeg a notable success. Their superiority to men for telephone exchange operation, particu- larly in the matters of patience and be- havior, has been cordially attested by a tel- ephone subscriber in a letter to a New Youk paper. The writer says that if he can help it he never uses the telephone on Sunday. It takes too much out of him. While on week days, when girls are employed at the exchange, the service $s second to none in the country for promptness and courtesy. on Sundays, when young men are the op- erators, the subscriber has to await their pleasure, even in the slackest hours, and besides often wasting much time in getting @ connection, submit to the brusque and not seldom rude manners of the employe. The telephone officiais say—without, how- ever, carrying general conviction—tuat the roughness and comparative lack of cultiva- tion in the voices of their male operators has possibly as much to do with the dissat- isfaction of the public with the Sunday service as the uncouthness of their address. They admit that the female -voice lends itself much more quickly to the influence of the telephone, which “cleans” and refines it. When to this is added the fact that young women, as @ Class, are not so “up- pish” as young men, the preference of the customers of the exchange for the former as telephene operators is understood. By way of showing that the pert girl does not always score, an English paper tells of a young man from London, who, visiting a northern city, wished to let his friends know of his safe arrival. He went into a post office and inquired if he could send a telegram direct to London, and how long it would take. The young woman in attend- ance, who was inclined to be snobbish, cut short his inquiries with: “I am not paid to answer silly questions.” Her face took on a modified expression when she found her- self compelled to wire the ——_—+e+____ It_matters little what it is @hat you want —whether a situation or a “want” ad. in The Star person who can fill your need. following mes- sage: “Arrived safe.
