WELCOMING HAND- GIVEN AVork of Women's Christian Asso ciation a Good Counterpart to Y. M. C. A Acts o! Ktndncsa by the Sunshine Society. ST FREPEBIC J. HAP KIN. WASHINGTON. April 13. (Special Correspondence.) There are few things In life so pathetic as the young country girl who starts out to make her way In some biff, strange city, lured by the wlll-'o-the-wisp of Ambi tion, or driven by that gaunt hag. Necessity. The belief is firm in her un sophisticated mind that positions lie around In the very streets, thick enough to Impede her progress. Un tutored In the ways of the world, Ignorant of the cost of living, con fident that her small hoard of money Is sufficient for all emergencies, she comes to try the new life, radiant and unafraid. The awakening' to real facts comes quickly and cruelly. She flnds that the unskilled woman's chances as a worker are lessening every year; that the life in the country town or on the farm has . not fitted her for the new and untried fields. She meets discouragement at every turn and the roseate dreams fade one by one. Modern progress demands much of tho people who serVe, and is not tolerant of the untried and the un trained. The girl's money disappears like magic, while she wearily tries place after place In tbe hope of se curing employment, loneilness and despair find her a ready victim, and It is little wonder that when she has reached the depths of disappointment she too often turns to the glitter of the half-world and is lost to her peo ple forever. Takes Care of Country Gfrls. To meet the case of this girl and of the thousands of other girls like her, bands of loyal, devoted women are working in each big city of the United States. The Women's Christian As sociations have taken the working girl and the business woman to their hearts, and are helping them make a fight for better opportunities and better living. Preaching and living the gospel of helpfulness, the women of these as 'snclations are loyal to their belief in the womanliness of all women, and In proof of it stand ready to help them at all times. When the country girl comes into a big city nowadays, bewildered by the unusual noises, the cry of cabmen, the rattle of baggage trucks and the roar of passing trains, there is Invariably a kind-hearted woman In the employ of the W. C. A. who is waiting to give her advice, to watch over her and pro tect her if necessary. If she has ar ranged for no place to go, this matron will send her to the association borne, where she will be well cared for. This wise move on the part of the associa tion has saved many girls from a piti ful fate. The depot matron, with the police and the railroad officials sup porting her on either hand, has be come a most piwerful influence in the suppression of vice. Homes for Women In Towns. The TO C. A. home In the big city Is a practical argument for more work like it. As a rulo It Is for working girls who have no homes of their own, whose means are insufficient to live comfortably in boarding-houses, who are working for small wages or who have no work at all. In some cities provision Is made for women who are traveling alone, and transients find these places like the shadow of a rock In a weary land, for they offer protec tion and comfort, and always at a most reasonable figure. The homes are made as livable and attractive as pos sible, and Include many club and school advantages. Gymnasiums and reading rooms are special features, as well as classes in domestic science. English branches and business methods that allow the unskilled and Ignorant to prepare themselves for paying posi tions. The need for accommodations ' of this kind Is so great in some cities that a Klrl who earns a good salary cannot be taken in. and when some Inmates have been promoted to salaries of a certain figure they must pass on Into boarding houses or private homes and so make room for other girls who are less fortun ate in a financial sense. In some places the entrance Is governed by an age limit. Women 55 or 40 years old are able to take care of themselves and be their own chaperones, so they are asked to leave the homes and make room tor young, unsophisticated girls who need the pro tection these institutions offer. Works for All Classes. This Is only a part of the work that thee associations have undertaken since their beginning nearly BO years ago. Originally spiritual improvement was the object of the coming together of tne members; then as time advanced the necessity for a practical demonstration of their general Christian spirit arose. They were ready and the spirit spread through colleges, schools, churches, fac tories, shops and mills. One might say of the organization, as Miss Jane Addams has said of settlement work, "It is not for the rich only, nor for tho poor only, but for all classes as the Lord mixes them: not only for -those who toll, but for those who suffer from Idleness." Rescue homes have been an Important factor In the work of the W. C. A. for SO years. They have brought Into these homes women and girls who have been weak and unfortunate and have helped them to live better, cleaner lives. They hav spent much time working among the prisoners in Jails and prisons, and the good done there Is not o be lightly estimated. The associations among col lege women do muoh for the girls and women, welcoming the strange and home, alckr, helping the ones who are working their way through school, and at Christ- mas time making a happiness so wide spread In many poor families that the faith of the little ones in a Santa Claus Is Justified. Began Nearly 60 Years Ago. In the year-book of the Young Women's Christian Associations of the United States of America, the oldest of the fed erated organisations is given as the Ladies' Christian Union of New Tork, which was founded In Ten years later associations were formed in Akron and Cincinnati. Ohio. Many of the West ' ern associations were an outgrowth .of the coeducational movement. When the girls had affiliated themselves for awhile with the Young Men's Christian Associa tion and saw the good of the work, they , argued among themselves that a like ; plan would, be good tor woman. - Many societies sprang up In the colleges of Ohio, Illinois and : Michigan, and by 1884 there were enough in many of the states for centralized organization. In 1886 these state unions were repre sented at a meeting at Camp Collie. Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and a nation al organization perfected. Last De cember all the branches in the United States were consolidated in one great working body, the National Society of the Toung Women's Christian Associa tions of America. The influence of the order Is now felt in every country in the world, while the National order represents 30 denominational bodies whose aggregate membership Is esti mated, at ll.eoo.ODO. Spreads Sunshine Everywhere. The International Sunshine Society came into existence among the exchanges and ink and paste and general disorder of a dally newspaper office. Probably be cause of this, or because the woman who planned it was so progressive and gener ous, the society has become known all over the world for its broadness, its tol erance and Its general spirit of good-fellowship. Several years ago some friends on the New York Recorder remembered their co-worker. Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden. with cards at Christmas time. She enjoyed them, and then, with character istic generosity of spirit, wanted to share them with some one else. The idea was good. "Have you had a kindness shown T Pass it on." This became the motto of the sunny-hearted woman and her news paper friends. They joyously shared with others all the sunshine and happiness that came their way. An exchange of picture cards made a "story." The public liked it and it became a department of the pa per. The column devoted to it was called "Chat," then a club was really formed from the Idea, and called by the appro priate name of Sunshine Society. The club grew like Jonah's gourd or Jack's beanstalk whichever grew quicker for rarely has any organization been known to spread and seize so Quickly and firmly on the minds and hearts of people. The only qualification for membership is an interest in good work, and the only dues asked are little kindnesses to some one, a bringing of sunshine into some other life. "Do something for somebody quick," became the motto of the first workers 14 or 16 years ago, and it has become the watchword of many thousands of women and children and men the lat ter being also admitted into this society. A day at some local headquarters will bring In a list of as widely diversified charities as a city could possibly know. It would Include all sorts of kind acts, from redeeming a poor -woman's "wedding ring pawned for bread or purchasing a pair of shoes for a young minister work ing In the Blums, down to embroidering a flag for a military company or shoeing the horses of a gypsy caravan. The Sun shine workers do every believable and un believable form of practical charity. All Kinds of Good Work.' They have day nurseries, hospitals, homes for blind babies, orphanages, lunchrooms; boarding homes, in fact every kind of philanthropic endeavor that you could name. Every year at the general headquarters, 96 .Fifth avenue. New York, scores of women are kept busy night and day just before the Christmas season fill ing barrels, boxes and packages with the clothes, books, pictures, stamps, cloth, cards and toys' that people have "passed on" for this use. From there they go to lone mountain cottages, to far-away ranches or farms,- or to homes In the slums that Santa Claus might otherwise have missed. , Almost every state and ter ritory Is organized now, and the work goes on to the ringing tune of the asso ciation's song "Scatter Sunshine."

PEAVEY PAID TOO ' MUCH Union Pacific Held to Have Favored Owner of Elevator at Expense ' of Other Shippers Clements and Lane Dissent. 'WASHINGTON, April 18. Tn what Is known as the Peavy Elevator case, the Interstate Commerce Commission today announced its decision against the Union Pacific Railroad Company. The Commis sion holds that the arrangement between the Union Pacific and the Peavy elevators was unlawful, as the allowance to the Peaver Company was In excess of th actual cost of the elevation of the jHxain and therefore a rebate. The decision was prepared by Commissioner Harlan and his opinion was concurred in by a major ity of the Commission. Commissioners Clements and Lane filed dissenting opin ions. The proceeding was entitled "In the Matter of Allowances to Elevators by the Union Pacific Railway Company." It was a subject of investigation, by the Commission of its own motion prior to June 25, 1904, on which date the Com mission, on the evidence then before It, decided that there had been no violation of the law. Subsequently, in July, 1906, on petition of certain railroads Interested In the grain traffic of the Northwest the case was reopened and much additional testimony was taken. The case was then argued to great extent before the Com mission and briefs were filed by counsel representing all parties In interest. Upon this record and tbe record of tho pre vious proceedings the Commission's de cision is based. The opinion of Mr. Har lan is summarised thus: Iiaw Regulating: Elevators. Elevation Is defined as unloading grain from cars or graiiicarrying vessels into a grain elevator and unloading It out again after a period of not to exceed ten days. It does not Include treatment or grading, cleaning or clipping of grain; and reten tion In an elevator beyond ten days becomes storag and Is not a part of tha aervica of tha elevation as that word Is used In tha atatuta, Tha law clearly recognise elevation aa a facility which the carrier may provide and this authorizes the carrier to grant grain elevation at destination or while tha traffic is In transit, subject only to tha restriction Imposed by the act that eleva tion, like any other service offered by the carrier to shippers, must be open to all on equal and reasonabla terms. Since a carrier subject to the act to reg ulate commerce la entitled to provide eleva tion for grain shipments, such carrier may either construct and operate tha elevator Itself or furnish elevation by arrangement with an owner of an elevator; and tha amount of compensation paid by tha carrier to tha owner of an elevator rendering tha service Is of no concern to shippers or to other carriers unless it operates to affect the rates charged by tha carrier upon tha grain traffic er by soma device a portion of the allowance Is returned to shippers and thus becomes a rebate. Peavey'g Allowance Illegal. An allowance made to a shipper of grain who furnishes elevation service under an ar rangement with a carrier is a rebate and an unlawful discrimination when it Involves a profit over and above the actual, cost to such shipper of tha services rendered. It Is not a rebate when tha allowance does not exceed tha actual coat. The arrange ment between the Union Pacific Railway and the Peavey elevators at Council Bluffs and Kansas City ia not in itself unlawful, but the allowance of H4 cents per 100 pounds paid by the railroad company to these elevators, controlled by the Peavey Interests, who ara large shippers of grain and own practically all the grain going into the elevators, la in excess of tha actual cost of tha service and la a rebate and therefore unlawful. The Commission orders that all allow ance by tha Union Pacific Railway Company to tha Peavey elevators shall be reduced and shall not exceed -cent per 100 pounds. the order taking effect on June 11, 1007. Both Mr. Clements and Mr. Lane take issue in their opinions with the opinion of the majority of the Commission. Their opinions wUl be available in a day or two. " ADMITS RIGHT OP NATION W. C. Brown Says Railroad Should Make Equal Rates. 7. BUFFALO, N. T.. April 18. That the public has a complete right to regulate the railroads was admitted tonight by w. C. Brown, second vice-president of the New York Central lines, who discussed the railroad question at a banquet given by the Chamber of Commerce. Governor Hughes also was a speaker. Speaking of a contemplated Improve ment in railroad facilities Mr. Brown said: Unless assurance can be had of eondonlng wrongdoing or winking at abuses, but of rigid co-operation, of protection and aid in every fair and legitimate manner against oppression and injustice of such guarantee as tha Government can give of protection from legislation which will prevent earning a reasonabla return on money Invested and a fair participation in Increased values and greater prosperity, which Investments of this character aid in promoting, it Is going to be impossible for tha railroads to a b tain tha money necessary for such Improvements and extensions. Hundreds of millions of dollars', worth of necessary improvements have been atopped and will not ba undertaken until a restoration of confidence can ba bad which will make it possible to float large issues of railroad securities both at home .and abroad. It ia doubtful If In the history of tbe United States and upon any great National question or issue public opinion haa baea so molded and directed by tbe President as It has la tha consideration of and attitude toward tha great transportation Interests. This powerful influence has bees exerted fearlessly and forcefully in correcting abuses by tha railroads, and I believe It will ba exerted just as fearlessly and ef fectually tn protecting tha railroads from Injustlca; and I am firmly and unalterably In favor of tha regulation of railroads and all other corporations by tha Nation and tha state. Tha people created these cor porations and have the undoubted right to regulate them. I would not. if I could, ma terially change tha laws thus far enacted by Congress. The business of tha railroads should ba as open and. public m that of tbe National banks; rates should be reasonable, stable and absolutely equal to alt. -This and this alone will fully and finally restore confi dence and promote that industrial and com mercial tranquillity so necessary to perma nent National prosperity.

Mr. Cowan told the President that the Texas law had proved a success. It had not been put upon the statute books for the purpose of becoming the basis for rate-making, he said, but to fix a line be yond which the roads could not go in Issuing stocks and bands. He added that the valuation put upon the roads by tha Texas Commission having charge of the matter exceeded the cost of construction by 16 to 20 per cent, and the cost of the ascertainment of the facts had been com paratively small.

DEEP' SHOW 'Dir PRAIRIES SIX INCHES RUINS FRUIT, BUT BKNEFITS WHEAT. Green Bug at Least Is Killed Ne braska, Both Dakota, Missouri, lows and Kansas Covered. OMAHA, April 18. Five inches of snow fejl during the night, and the storm continued during the forenoon. The fall was general over Eastern Ne braska, and is the heaviest known in April for many years. The extent of damage is not known. Opinion aa to the storm's effect upon fruit and early vegetables varies. In some counties along the southern and central belts cherrios, peaches, plums and berries are said by some authorities to nave been ruined almost entirely, while oth er growers report that fruit was not far enough advanced to become seri ously endangered. In grain circles it is believed the snow will kill all the green bugs that have been threatening the Winter wheat crop and spreading over the cen tral portion of the state. A Norfolk dispatch, says Northern Nebraska, Southern South Dakota, Northeastern Wyoming and the Black Hiils are covered with a blanket of snow six inches deep upon the level, which is still falling. At Northwestern railroad headquarters here it was said the storm was practically over the en tire system west of the Missouri River. The snow is considered a benefit to small grain, frost being out of the ground. A Topeka dispatch says a rain which began at midnight is falling over this section of Kansas today, and will greatly benefit the wheat and alfalfa crops.

St. Johns officials expect to be able to start work on the City Hall within a week. Today the ordinance that passed the Council Tuesday night, au thorizing the city to take over the building, will appear in the St. Johns Review, which will comply with the charter as to publication. This ordi nance sets forth all the circumstances of the letting of the contract to Young ferdorf & Son, and the failure of the contractors to finish the building. It will now be served on the bondsmen, Ashley & Rumelin, and the contractors, if they can be. found, together with a notice that the city will take charge and complete the building. City Attorney Greene said yesterday that the law is being followed closely. '"The City of St. Johns is amply pro tected against loss," he said, "We have $901)0 in the treasury of the City Hall money, and we have the building, on which there has been paid only J2000. Youngferdorf & Son's contract was something over $7000. We expect to pay legitimate bills and no others, and then only when the hills are duly adjudicated. There is a bill of S1000 for roofing, one for board and another from a St. Johns saloon by the delin quent contractors, but we have nothing; to do with saloon and board bills. Somebody is constantly giving- out that St. Johns will sustain a big loss, and I demanded to know at the last meet ing of the Council who was giving out false information to the injury of the place, but no one responded."
