RAILROAD BLAMES "THE CEMENT TRUST" Continued from Page 1. year or two suggested that it was a reasonable rate. "Then as long as shippers and users take their medicine a rate is presumed to be reasonable?" was Mr. Glasgow's comment. A further attempt on Mr.

Glasgow's, part obtain from the witness a reason for the 80 cents freight rate to Jersey City, as against $1.35 for Philadelphia, elicited from Mr. Wright the statement that one of the reasons was that the cement from Northampton and Lehigh fields had to be put up in Jersey City in competition with the product of cement mills on the Hudson River. Mr. Wright testified that he was unable to say how much cement the Hudson River mills manufactured in a year, but named three mills, the largest of which, he admitted, had not been in operation until this year. According to a declaration by Mr.

Wright, what the called the Cement Trust, and not the railroad, lis responsible for the discrimination against Philadelphia in the rate on cement. It was also brought out in the testim'ony that owing to this discrimination tin freight tariffs against Philadelphia the construction of the Market Street subway cost $28,000 more than a simitar operation in New York, and that $3000 was added to the cost of the Philadelphia Opera House, which Oscar Hammerstein built.

Kathryn Keeler of Easton is in St. Hospital in serious condition as the result af opium poisoning, probably taken with sulcide intent.

The patrolman took the woman to the police station where an empty bottle was found in her pocket, marked "laudanum, poison." The woman was sent to St.

FensterWhitehall Township for A Bird's Barbed Wire Fences. Deputy yesterday and farm macher of $269.65. There may be seen along the roadsides in Central America a brown wren about the size of a canary which builds a nest out of all proportion to its apparent needs. It selects a small tree with horizontal branches growing close together, Across two of the branches it lays sticks fastened together with tough fiber until a platform about six feet long by two feet wide has been constructed. On the end of this platform nearest the tree trunk it then builds a huge dome shaped nest a foot or so high with thick sides of interwoven thorns.

A covered passageway is then made from the nest to the end of the platform in as crooked a manner as possible. Across the outer end, as well as at short intervals along the inside of this tunnel, are placed cunning little fences of thorns with just space enough for the owners to pass through. On going out this opening is closed by the owner by placing thorns across the gateway, and thus the safety of the eggs or young is assured. -Brooklyn Eagle. Penknives.

Nowadays we use penknives pally for sharpening pencils. There; was a time, however, when they were used primarily for doing something else. They used to be just what their name would indicate--they were "penknives." The ancients used pens made of goose quills, just as our forefathers did up to about a hundred years ago. The quill pen was made by hand, of course, and whenever the point of one would break or lose its elasticity it was up to the penman to put a new point or "nib" on the quill. This was done with a small knife, and hence we have the word that has outlived the quill pen a hundred In the olden times the penknife was a necessary accessory of the writing desk.

When the claspknife came in the smaller sizes took their name from the little desk knife, while the bigger ones were called "jackknives," "jack" signifying any. thing masculine or big and strong.Kansas City Star, College and School.

RULED WHALERS AND CANNIBALS British Governor of Falkland Islands Now on Vacation. 25 YEARS AMONG THE FUJIS Man Eating Stopped by This Englishman to Prevent Serving of Himself as Piece de Resistance--Left Tropics to Serve Union Jack on Edge of Antarctic. Twenty-five years in the south sea islands and six years on the border of the antarctic are enough to fill a person with a desire to see something of the rest of the world, and that is possibly one reason why W.

L. Allardyce, his Britannic majesty's governor of the Falkland islands, is making a tour of the world. From 1879, when he first went out to the south seas as a junior clerk, until 1904 Governor Allardyce spent most of his time in the various islands in the Pacific, notably in Samoa, Tonga and the Fijis. "I first went to the Fijis when King Thakombar was alive," said Governor Allardyce in New York recently. "He was the original 'king of the cannibal isles' who has been sung about.

Thakombar was a tall man with a big white beard, and his hands were 50 big that if you put one of yours in his it would disappear. He always wore the native garb, somewhat modifiled, for be insisted upon the white shirt of civilization and a necktie, which first he wore tucked into a kilt of native cloth. His legs were bare. He also wore a headdress of some kind of white or smoked native cloth. Fiji Etiquette Severe.

"Thakombar always insisted upon the observance of the outward forms of respect. As a rule, the native Fijian doffs his headdress when he comes into the presence of a higher chief, but this was not enough for Thakombar. The man who met the king on the road had to sit down in the road and clap his hands or smite his thighs and shout 'Woh, "The missionaries thought the Fijians were civilized in that early day, and the natives had nominally accepted Christianity, but as late as 1894 they were not up to all the forms of Christianity and civilization, for they were still eating one another. In that year, however, it was stopped by force. "There had been an outbreak in the interior.

I was native minister at the time and with the governor, some 2,000 native allies and a few hundred our own men went up and called upon the cannibals to give up those their number who bad not long before eaten two native missionaries. "To our amazement the leaders replied that if we did not go away they would put the governor and myself in the oven also. We tried to call them reason, but they would not entertain our truce envoys. Finally we had is attack them. We captured some 200 of them in the fight, and the licking they got taught them we meant what we said, and there has been no more man eating since then.

White Population Growing, "In the early eighties there were not more than 1,500 white men in all the islands. They were mostly AngloSaxons, some being Americans. The white population of the country is now over 4,000. In addition some 40,000 East Indians have been imported into the country from Bengal to work the sugar plantations. The sugar industry has grown so that the exportation is now approximately 80,000 tons.

"We try to preserve the communal system of government among them as far as possible. The people are ruled by their chiefs, the something like 90,000 Fijians having several dozen head chiefs, and these have many petty ones under them. The heads of provinces are paid salaries ranging from $2.000 a year downward. These chiefs have not the power of life and death. "There is never any summer in the Falklands," continued Governor Allardyce; "but, on the other hand, the thermometer hardly ever goes down to zero.

But what gets to you is the cold wind with a low temperature. Most of the people there are engaged either in sheep raising or whaling. The whole country is a sheep farm, and the holdings range from 700,000 acres, running 200.000 sheep, to small runs that carry only 8,000 to 4,000. There are 800,000 sheep in the Falklands. In the Falklands group are some fifty or sixty islands, the largest being East Falkland, which is about 90 by 50 miles, and West Falkland, which is 20 by 30 miles.

"The whaling industry is very remunerative. The whalers are mostly Norwegians, and they fish around the Falklands and South Georgia, also going as far south as the South Shetlands and the South Orkneys. "There are five different kinds of whales in those waters. Of them the right whale, or the nord kappa, as the Norwegians call it, is worth from $7,500 to $10,000, principally on account of the whalebone. Then there is the blue whale, which is the biggest of all, often running to 90 or 100 feet in length.

The sperm whale, of course, everybody knows. Then there is the humpbacked whale, so called from an enormous hump, and the sei whale, which is not so important." Cardamoms. Cardamoms.

It is estimated that electric illumination is used by about 700,000 households in the United States. The telephone industry three years ago furnished employment for more than five times as many persons as telegraphy. Thirty-four telephones, with two switchboards, are used in New York's newest theater, nine of the instruments being on the stage alone. A tiny electric light generating plant has been devised suitable for mounting on an automobile to supply current for the lights. By the use of improved lamps a very superior illumination is secured.
