RATE-CUTTING
BY STEAMERS
8AN FRANCISCO, Oct. IT. What
promlsea to be the moat bitter and
far-reacbing rate-cutting war ever
knows on this side of the continent
has bean started by two of the big
steamship lines operating on the Pa
cific and as result Ban Francisco,
as tbe pivotal point in the impending
struggle, already is attracting the
attention of shippers throughout tbe
country.
The first clash In the rate war
has Involved tbe Canadian Pacific
railroad company and the Japanese
Nippon Yusen Kalsha Steamship
line. Tbe latter is the largest and
financially the most powerful line op
erating on the Pacific, and has al
ready started to slash rates unmerci
fully. Local Officials Worried.
Although the trouble has not
reached this city yet, railroad and
steamship company officials here are
worried over the outlook and are
anxious to know how far me cutting
will extend. The Northern Pacific
and Oregon line will feel tbe effect
first, but It will not be long before
the trade at this port will be affected.
Tbe rate war coming upon the new
rules of the Interstate commerce
commission In regard to publishing
rates, has left shippers throughout
tbe country, particularly In the east
ern manufacturing centers, wonder
ing where they stand. Until tbe su
preme court of the United States
passes upon the questions raised In
this city there Is bound to be great
uncertainty.
Two very Important points in tbe
matter were raised In the federal
courts In this city. One- Involving
the act affecting the very existence
of the commission and Its powers In
relation to the courts, was recently
decided by the Circuit court ot this
district.
Commission Wins Suit.
It was In what Is known as the
lumber rate cases. The three Circuit
judges, Gilbert, Morrow and Ross, sat
as in special session of the Circuit
court and their decision was In fa
vor of the commission. It was the
first time the matter was contested
In any Federal court. The appeal Is
now before the Supreme court.
Another new point, never before
brought before a federal tribunal,
has been raised In the United States
District court In this city and will be
argued before Judge De Haven next
Friday. Charles J. Heggerty, the at
torney for tbe Pacific Mall and the
Southern Pacific, has raised the point
In tbe rebate cases that the Interstate
commerce commission act does not
confer power on the commission to
make rules to apply to shipments
which originate outside the United
States.
Tbe great question now Is the mat
ter ot shipping from manufacturing
centers to foreign ports and Import
ing goods Into this country.
WHY CHANLERS Ql'AKKKLED.
Hostile Criticism ot Amrlie Rives'
Noval Was Cause.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Oct.
17. John Armstrong Chanler, for
mer husband of Ameria Rives, the
-authoress, and brother of Lewis
Stuyvesant Chanler, Democratic can
didate for governor of New York,
took the stand today in his own be
half In the Insanity proceedings be
fore Commissioner Booth. The ob
ject of the suit is to establish legally
Chanter's sanity and to recover bis
fortune, which he alleges has been
confiscated by the New York courts.
Mr. Chanler testified that one of
the causes for the ill-feeling tbat ex
ists between him and his brothers
was that at tbe time of his engage
ment to Amelle Rives one of his
brothers, Wlnthrop Aston Chanler,
sent him a copy of her book, "The
Quick and the Dead," with hostile
criticism marked on the margin in
blue pencil. He showed this to his
fiancee, the result being that she did
not Invite his brothers and sisters to
the wedding, the single exception be
ing Margaret Livingston Chanler,
now Mrs. Richard Aldrlch.
LARGE PRICE FOR PICTURE.
The National Gallery Pays 9120,000
for One Painting.
LONDON, Oct. 17. When the an
nouncement was recently made that
the National gallery had secured an
unknown example of Franzs Hals, at
the enormous and unprecedented
price of about $125,000, the English
public and a majority of the news
papers mildly protested. Now that
several qualified critics have had an
'opportunity ot examining the "dis
covery" a better feelings prevails,
and the public Is now wondering if,
after all, the director of the trustees
ot the National gallery have not
stolen a march on the other great
galleries of the world in securing one
ot the few great examples of the
Dutch master to be had for love or
money.
One ot the most popular of Hals'
pictures, "The Laughing Cavalier,"
Is, of course. In the hands of the
British nation, and hangs In the Wal
lace collection. For that, too, an
unprecedented price was paid. In
deed, It was the purchase of that pic
ture by Lord Hartford at an auction
sale In Paris for 110.000 that started
the rise In Hals. Previous to that
time 1250 was the highest that had
ever been paid, In England at any
rate, for a picture by the Haarlem
painter and the dealers and collectors
present at the Paris auction sale
were almost howled off their feet
when the English peer opened the
bidding with his 110,000 offer.
There was no opposition, and the pic
ture was Immediately knocked
down to tbe open-banded marquis.
Since then the record baa been fre
quently broken, and at the Secretan
sale In Paris more than 122,000 was
bid for tbe portrait of Pleter van de
Broecke d'Anvers.
These big prices were for single
portraits, while the present picture
which the British nation has acquir
ed contains no less than ten figures.
It Is 8 feet 4 Inches In width by 4
feet 11 Inches In height.
The history of the now famous pic
ture is obscure. Its owner, up to a
few weeks ago, was Lord Talbot ot
Malahide, an Irish nobleman, who
little suspected Its real value. A
cleaner called In to renovate his col
lection recognized ft as a Hals, com
municated with the National gallery,
and after delicate negotiations the
deal was closed. Curiously enough
It Is believed In some quarters that
investigations will show that It is
really the painting known as the
'Portrait Group of Van Goyen, the
Painter and His Family," which was
sold In a London salesroom in 1832
for the absurdly small sum of $250.

CUT HUSBAND'S BODY UP.
Aged Woman's Final Revenge for a
Life's Troubles.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 17. In
the Superior court ot Kitsap county
began today the trial of the aged and
feeble Mrs. Madeline King on a
charge of murdering and burning the
body ot her husbandt who was a
rancher ot Olalla, In that county.
The crime was committed last June
and the months of incarceration In
the county jail have completely brok
en down the health ot the accused
woman.
The crime was not discovered un
til a week or ten days after It had
been committed. Mrs. King admit
ted chopping up her husband's body
and burning It, but denied that she
killed him. She declared be died in
a chair In their little home, located
In a remote part ot the county, and
that recalling the cruel treatment
she received from him, she became
angered, hacked his body to pieces
with an ax, then burned his remains.
A neighbor who happened to pass
the King home noticed the woman
raking the bones Into the fire, and
notified the authorities at Port Orch
ard. The woman told how she hit
her husband on the head with a mal
let, then put his body Into a wheel
barrow, wheeled it out Into the or
chard. BIBLE ARGUMENT.

Lavender Bags as Christmas Gifts.
One girl has had a bappy inspira
tion this summer. She is visiting at
a quaint old home where a bed of
lavender thrives, and she Is making
fascinating little bags of lavender
and placing them away carefully for
Christmas gifts especially to ehose
young matrons who are glorying In
the mysteries of a linen closet.
Lavender has such a quaint and
unobtrusive fragrance that In poetry
you see, as well as In every-day judg
ment, It Is singled out as the appro
priate perfume tor household linen
and lingerie.
The girl is making charming
sachet bigs ot lavender silk, and
these she covers with dotted swlss
and ties with lavender ribbons; oth
ers are made of silk In the faintest
of lavender shades and are left un
covered. But the prettiest of all Is the little
bag of scrim upon which Is worked
In old-time cross-stitch a basketful of
posies. This makes a quaint little
gift for the newly Installed matron.
To put with lingerie the lavender
tied In a fair linen bag with lavender
ribbon is daintiest.
Walking Hints.
It is no longer correct to tilt the
body forward, keep yourself straight
as an Indian, tbat an imaginary

Keep the chest well back and the
abdomen In; then start out for a
walk with some definite purpose in
view.
Never allow the muscles ot the
lower limbs to become tense through
tne rapidity ot your walking, which
only Impedes your progress by inter
rupting the movement from hip to
toot, and results In a gait disastrous,
awkward and unbeautiful.

A Goldenrod Breakfast.
"This is a pretty country enter
tainment, and the one In mind was
given under wldespreading trees on
the lawn of a pretty suburban
home," says a writer In Woman's
Home Companion.
"Great bunches of goldenrod were
dug up and transplanted into Jardi
nieres and arranged on the lawn,
with the grass as a carpet and the
trees as a canopy.
"Two tables were used. In the
center ot one was a large, gilded.
flaring-shaped basket filled with the
goldenrod, and tied on the handle
was a butterfly bow of pale yellow
tulle, and festoons of the same ex
tended to the four corners, where
were placed four small baskets, also
tied with bows of the tulle. The
second table was resplendent with
tall cut-glass vases filled with the
flowers, and glass candlesticks with
yellow candles and shades. The
play cards were white, edged with
gold.
"Gold-banded china was used and
the same golden tint carried out in
the menu. Canteloupes, cream, eggs,
cheese and frozen oranges In orange
peel baskets all will help to carry
out the golden color."
Beauty Secrets.
If you must ware your hair on
curlers or kids, do It after your hus
band has left the house for the day,
and not at night.
Just Imagine what a fright you
look with your hair, the crowning
beauty of a woman, done In two tlgbt
little braids at the bark and six or
seven hornlike projections In the
front.
And don't leave your false hair In
full sight on the bureau.
Can you conceive how like a wild
animal or a scarecrow you must look
to him, when he views you In the
morning light?
Can you blame him tor thinking
the smart-looking women he sees
more fascinating than his wife?

In curl papers.
To arrange the hair for the night,
divide It and tie the front part loose
ly on top with a big bow of ribbon,
then braid the back in two braids,
and tie the ends with ribbon. This
Is so much neater and more attract
ive than to do It up on curlers or
leave It done up as It has been all
day.
. A man once said that any woman
who wore her hair In kids or curlers
in the presence of her husband de
served to lose his love.
Blue Linen Covers.
Useful covers for table and side
boards are of blue linen, hemstitched
and edged with Irish peasant lace.
Tbe linen may In fact, must be
coarse. Blue does not soli easily,
whllo the lace is all that could be
desired made ot linen thread and
quite Inexpensive.
If the cover Is Intended for tbe
sideboard the lace and hemstitching
need be only on three sides; tbe selv
edge serving for the side nearest the
wall. The hems of these covers
should be about two inches broad.
Covers in colors are particularly
adapted to seashore and country
houses, but covers of natural linen,
edged with white lace, are handsome
enough to be used anywhere. The
Irish peasant lace is a really beauti
ful fabric, though It Is too heavy for
any purpose save for household fur
nishing.
Coffee and Tea.
While many people laugh and scoff
at the Idea of tea and coffee having a
most distressing effect upon the ner
vous system. It Is a proved fact, and
one that ought to receive attention
from nervously Inclined people.
If your nerves are bothering you
and It is impossible for you to take
the needed rest try going without tea
or coffee for a week or two. Notice
the beneficial effect it will have on
your nerves. If you feel the need of
something warm to drink, hot milk
will be a good substitute and prove
more healthful than tea or coffee.

Muffs for the approaching season
are Immense.
