C. -e• RAILROAD BILL UP WILL COVER LONG AND SHORT HAUL CLAUSE. WILL ALSO HAVE POWEICTO SUS- PEND HIGHER RATE AND OTHER MATTERS. Washington, Feb. 14.-1f the calcu- lation of members of the senate and the house committees on luterstate com- merce does not go amiss the administra- tion measure probably will be uuder discussion on the floor of congress with- in a month. Committees of both houses practically have completed their gen- eral hearings, but members of the in terstate commerce commission and At- torney General Wickersham are still to be hear& Representative Mann, chairman of the house committee, said he was hopeful that the bill could be reported by his committee on March 1, and it is under- stood he feels confident that it will be taken up and favorably acted upon by the house soon afterward. Other members of the committee ex- press confidence, but at the same time they complain that the hearings have not been especially illuminating. The railroads, with the exception of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, have shown a disposition to let the bill go through without contesting it. The bill will be amended in many re spects by the house committee, but it is already well understood that it will cover the essential features of the presi- dent's measure. As outlined the bill will cover the following points: First -Control of the issuance of stocks and bonds by railroad com- panies and prohibition of the purchase of competing lines. Second -A provision requiring rail roads to furnish their rates on applica- tion, with a penalty for failure to do so. Third -Giving the interstate corn merce commission power to suspend a proposed rate before it goes into effect - Fourth -Making effective the long and short haul clause of the present law so as to forbid a higher charge on a short haul than on a long haul. This provision in the present law was de- stroyed by direction of the courts. Fifth -Giving the commission power to control the classification of freights on all regulations and practices of rail- road - companies. The provision for a court of corn meree probably will not be included in the house committee's report. The senate committee has given the bill no consideration beyond the hear- ings, but it is believed the matter will be taken up seriously after the appear- ance of members of the commission. There is likely to be more division of opinion than . in the house committee, and no one is so sure of the outcome. It is believed, however, that ulti- mately the bill will find its way out of the senate committee, and the general disposition is to accede to the wishes of the president.

He was a plain man who walked down the steps from the Holleudeu Hotel. His clothes were as quiet as hie manner, and his manner was most Imassuming. ills shoes were square toed and a dusty black. His collar was Itiw and his necktie was of the ready-made sort you hook to the collar button In front. His hat was black. His suit was old- fashioned pepper and salt. He was not trying to impress any one. But across his it front a row of badges, red and yellow, made unpro- voked assault upon the eyes of by- standers, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. There were rosettes at the top and gold lace at the bottom. Letters of gold proclaimed the fact that the plain and unassuming citizen was a member of an organization with a long name; that said organization was holding a convention and that the man behind the badge W1P on some committee. The man himself would have told you quietly enough. His badges shriek- ed it. He seemed somewhat embarrass- ed by the attention he attracted. One wondered why he suffered them so pa- tiently. He was willing to talk. He gave his name and said he hail Come from Peninsula, Ohio. It devel- oped that lie did not suffer from the badges at all. He thought them pretty. He was proud of them. It's a weakness we men folk have. It's like the passion for red neckties, but more general. More than hair the men in Cleveland wear badges. Some wear them all the time. Some wear them on special occasion only, just as one would wear a medal or a decoration from the emperor of sows place or another. If you don't wear a badge its a pret- ty fair sign you don't belong to any- thing. Moat everybody belongs to some organization and nearly every or- ganization In Cleveland has badges tor its members. Many of us have half a dozen. We wear one in one lapel but- ton hole and keep the others in a bu- reau drawer at home. The badges or emblems that we wear for every day are mostly sruall. It may be a fraternity pin or it may be an emblem that signifies we belong to the Brotherhood of Pretzel Varnishers. It -may be on the under side of our coat lapel or it may be on the edge of our waistcoat. It may take the form of a necktie pin or decorate the end of a watch fob. You may not see it the first glance, but two chalices lu three it's somewhere about. These every -day pins of labor or- ganizations, fraternal and benevolent organizations, miscellaneous clubs and societies are small enough. The ones for conventions, balls and other spe- cial occasions may be nearly as big as folded bath towels. One can't get too many rosettes or too much gold lace or too many metal medallions and cross bars and spread eagles hung on a badge. The more there are the more pleased and proud we men are to wear the badge. Alfred Ilenriquee runs an office ia the Williamson building from which all sorts of badges and buttons are sold. limsays more buttons are eons now than during the button craze a few years ago, a craze that preceded the present picture postal -card mad- ness. The difference Is that the but- tons are not worn all the time, but more for special occasions. Many of the badges cost as much as $5 mush. They are elaborate with en- amel. Sortie of gold are even more ex- pensive. Taro.. Maio of Woolen. Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont. the•so- tiety leader and convert to Woman suffrage, said in a recent speech \In this country I see three classes of women -first, the woman who starts out In life with the Inculcated idea that some man must support her, sec- ond. the woman who finds out she must do everything that man does not want to do, and through force of nee - essay does it; third, a grand army of self-rellant, self-supporting women ful- filling all civic requirements; women strong in their own independence, ex- pecting no man to bear their -burdens, asking for equal rights, knowing their obligations ka citizens and determined to meet these obligations. \We women who demand our suf- frage from men ask them to hone- the women of the United States. rram the hour . the first white woman landed on our shores woman has stood shoul- der to shoulder with man. She has been his equal in toll, in hardship, IS devotion. She has been his mother, Me wife. \I appeal to man's sense of justice and of honor, for both If these eharao- ?Artistica are the strong, dominant traits of American men or we would not have the nation we have. And I ask, are these men just to women? TO their sons they have given the right of citizenship: They make bondwom- en of their daughters. Now we WOMPIX, want to be great We want our independence. We want to show men how we can stand side by side with them In the open field of life. Then shall the world Judge us, and my faith In my own womanhood has taught me to believe in all worn.

Wind of the North, I know your boas Out on the frozen plain, But here in the city's streets you seem Only a cry of pain. I know the note of your lusty throat Where the black boughs toss and Soar, sit here it is part of the old, old cry Of the hungry, homeless poor. I know the song that you sing to God Joyous and high and wild, But here where His creatures herd and die, 'Tie the sob of a little child --Youth'. Companion. Jim's Vagrant 46 The burnished mountings and metal surfaces of \No. 20\ glistened and sparkled as the suun's rays crept lazily Into the engine -house and fell In a golden shower upon the beautiful mon- ster. But in spite of this the keen and practiced eye of Blin Jim detected a blue on one of the brass levers, and, .etching his chamois skins, he set to eork with a will to remove this dis- graceful blemish; for not a speck would be allowed upon his beloved ma- chine. - No. 20\ was conceded to be the finest machine of its kind in the city; and Big Jim, as he was universally known, was acknowledged to be the tallest man and the best driver in the whole fire department. Many times he had been complimented by the district engineers, and on one occasion he and his engine rendered such signal see - vice that the mayor of the town sent him a personal note of thanks. That note Jim carried constantly with him, and would not have given away for any consideration. Strange to say, there was no envy of Jim or his engine. All who knew him loved and respected him; and Big Jim was the pride, and \No. 20\ the pet of the entire department. For the last hour Jim had noticed a little negro standing on the opposite side of the street and gazing into the engine house with evident interest. While the fireman plied his chamois, the lad grew bolder, and, crossing the street, stood timidly in the doorway. The day was far Mum sultry; and Jim gazed at the boy's bare feet and thin, ragged clothing, a feeling of profound pity stole Into his heart. \You should not be without your shoes, my lad,\ he said, kindly, in his deep, gruff voice. •\liain't got no shoes, boss.\ Jim gazed askance at the black or chin. \Where are your parents?\ \Dunno. Neber had none.\ \But surely you have some relatives sr friends.\ \Dunno what yer means by relatives, boss; but I hain't got no friends. Any- how,\ he added, pathetically, as though ( ramM.0 04-.- THE WIIIM or THE ALARM SOUNDED, the fact had been impressed upon him until he had become thoroughly con- yinced of Its truth. \I's no 'count, no- how, I is, so it do'n' make no dilrence.\ Jim's uplifted hand paused in mid air as he heard this remarkable state- ment. \What's your name?\ he inquired \Black Pete,\ answered the boy, aim ply. \But what's your last name?\ \Ha In't kot no nio'ah nainisse-hose \ \How cld are you?\ \Dunno\ Jim gazed in blink astonishment at his new acquaintance, the like of whom he had never before met. \Bay boss,\ said Pete, and his voice dropped to a whisper, and his eyes glistened as he gazed in undisguised admiration at the engine. \Is you the irlyah oh dis yere Inglis's?\ Jim nodded. Pete gazed wittz such evident awe snd reverence upon \No. 20\ that Jim's Mg heart was completely won. \Well Pete,\ he said, a few minutes later, \I guess have. to leave you: It's. time I was attending to my sup - p.m. By the way,\ he added, \lf you have no friends, where dreyott get your In t i t ? , - I gets 'ern hest way I kin, boss; and wheff,I can't git nuffin. I does with- out,\ was the philosophic reply. \What are you going to do to -night?\ 'Croft have nuffin to -night. Hain't got no money, and don' know where to go.\ \Look here,\ said Jim, and the gruff voice grew a little softer. \you watt here a minute,\ and he disappeared. Soon he returned with a package %bleb he handed to Pete. \There he ARK \I've divided my supper with you, Pete. Now tell me where you're going to stay to -night.\ \DuAno. bees.

If you keep right quiet no one will know, and to -morrow I'll see what I can do for you.\- Pete's eyes sparkled as he raised his black face to Jim. \I'll do as yer tole me, boss. Say\ -and the boy's voice grew intensely low and confidential, \does yer think they'd have a cullud drivah on an in- gine?\' The look of anxiety on Pete's face as he waited- for the answer was pain- ful to see. \I'm afraid not, Pete,\ replied Jim. Pete's black face assumed a look of unutterable woe. He turned sadly away, and made off with Jim's gift hugged closely to his breast. Pete had been safely smuggled in. and all In the engine house were wrap- ped in profound slumber, when sud- denly the whir of the alarm sounded loud and shrill throughout the build- ing, and In an Instant the .firemen were tumbling into boots and coats. With the first sound of the bell, Jim was on his feet. A moment later, he . was equipped and Immersing the :tomes. Big JIM was a born fireman. There was nothing so delightful to his ear as the clang of the alarm. The mo- ment he heard it his spirits rose, the blood coursed more rapidly through his veins, and all else was forgotten. So It happeued that, strapped to his seat on the engine, the big driver dash- ed down the street without a single thought of the small plete of black hu- manity be had bundled ip so carefully a few hours before. \No. 20\ was the first engine to reach the fire. A large manufacturing building was blazing furiously and threatening to consume everything in the block. Crowds of people were flocking from all directions. Jim had just reined in the foaming, quivering horses beside a water plug, and was hastily dismounting from his perch, when a Mile, barefooted figure came panting tip. \I's got awful blowed, • eoss, but I dun keep behind the ingine's well as I could.\ And not till then did Jim rec- ollect the admiring little friend he had left in thee engine -house. Before he multi say anything there was a great shout from the multitude, and looking up Jim beheld three men standing at one of the upper windows, surrounded by the raging flames and cut off from all means of escape. An exclamation of horror fell from his Bps as he realized the peril of the unfortu- nate men. \They are lost!\ he muttered, in- voluntarily. \The ladders have not yet arrived, and nothing on earth can save them now.\ With mouth and eyes wide open, and horror expressed in every feature. Pete gazed In coneternation at the appall- ing situetion o the poor wretches. Then an inspiration , seemed suddenly to seize him, and, quick as thought, he snatceed a email ax from a truck near- by, and darted off through the crowd. For .several minutes Jim continued to gaze pityingly upon the Imperiled men. At last he turned sadly away, and then he beheld- Pete scrambling nimbly but laboriously up ti high tele- graph Ole on the 'opposite side of the ) street. Even at that distance the Seat was intense. and Pete had all ke do to retain his desperate clutch and work himself up. He reached the cross pieces, and perching himself securely raised his ax in both hands and struck a furious blow, which was followed immediately by a scraping buzz, as the wire he had severed slid over to the beams and fell to the ground. Then it was that Jim recognized th. shrewdness and utility of Pete's act, for the other end of the wire was fas- tened to the roof of the burning build- ing directly above the window at which the imperiled men stood, and' as soon as it was severed it fell within their reach. A great cry of Joy went up from the vast throng below as the men grasped their Improvised lire -escape and de- scended hn turn; but above it rose a shrill wall of mortal agony. \Help boss! help! l's dun goin' to fall!\ The flames had burst through one cut the windows, and were darting far across the street and beating upon poor Pete in his, defenceless position. He eould not move nor attempt to de - +mend. It waa all he was able to do to keep his hold upon the hot beams Realleing that his nerveless fingers would soon be powerless to sustain him, he cried aloud in his anguish to the only being es that great crowd up on whom he could call. As that desperate, appealing cry reached his ears, Bib JiIII deserted his beloved \No. 20\ and sprang toward Pete's lofty perch. Right and left the big fireman elbowed his way through the crowd, knocking gaping men Iiith• er and thither like so many tenpins. But he was too late! Poor Pete buns on as long as he could, and then, with a slight quiver of the body, the scorch- ed and blistered fingers relaxed their hold, and The little hero fell to the pavement. Jim raised the limp form tenderly In his strong arms. \Pete. Pete, my brave little fire - .man!\ he murmured, chokingly, as he pressed hle lips to the black face. At the word \fireman coupled with his own name by the gruff and tender voice whose owner had given Black Pete the only friendship he had ever known, the boy's eyes opened dreamtly and rested for a moment on his big friena. A smile of recognition flashed over his features. .\So dey won't take no culled die mills, boss.\ he muttered, aosently. \Well l's done de best I could, any- how.\ And with a sigh ofeeatisfaction at this thought, mixed with regret though It WAS, his eyes rinsed once more, to open again where even Black Prete would be of some \account and where \No. 20\ would not he the reali- zation of his highest admiration.-Wa- verley Magazine.
