late increase
bib”
; 0f the freight Rates of
the New York New Haven
~ all Hartford Railroad. with
. a lalile of Specimen Raises
The‘recent action of the manage-
ment of the Consolidated railroad in
raising freight rates has been sub-
} {rented to a wide variety of criticism
or out thing. much has been made
of the lsastrous effect upon the cost
of iiv and the hardship that is
broil upon the poor man. A re-
porter-was detailed to investigate this
side of.thetsffalr and the results of
‘ that inquiry are instructive and la»
terestihg. Here are some of the points
brought to light says the Hartford
Courautt‘
‘ Flour and other grain produdts but
especially iiour,- beef and other west-
era dressed meats and sugar are ad-
mitlb‘dly he staples of food today We
nut only ould not live without them.
but we come so near to living from
man to mouth on them that it is only
as the railroad is constantly bring-
ing, in new. supplies that we keep along.
The 'freight’. taste for flour from the
West to New. England points was re-
‘ x ‘ dutipd a bout 30 days ago by two cents
a hundred or 4 cents a barrel. Under
. the haw schedule of the Consolidated
" . made no change is made in these in-
rates: They still stand at the 4 cents
3 sanitation. But iiour shipped out again
fi'oihif Hartford or other distributing
~; centers won'utbe line has been raised 2
cents a barrel. The net result is a
‘ redaction all along the line of 2 cents
a" barrel from the rate a month or so
ago; and of 4 cents at the central
will”. « .
Nefchme has been made in the
,Intfard for dressed beef from the
west. That rate is the same for all
New England points as for New York.
Nearly all western products are carried
to New York a trifle less than to New
England. but the freight rate on beef is
‘the some clear through New England
up to Portland that it is to New York.
This has not been increased at all.
Carrying. beef out again from New
England centers coat two cents 100
pounds more than formerly. The
freight rate on sugar into New Eng-
land has beta raised one cent per 100
pounds. '
With no change on meat and a slight
reduction on flopr and an increase of
- . one heat a 100 pounds on sugar. how
much does the cost of living go up?
. The Assumption seems that the aver-
. sge.huyer of sugar does not get over
' 10 pounds ‘st a time. If the retailer
undertakes to recover the extra freight
charge on that 10 pounds of sugar. he
will ’itaye to add one tenth of a cent to
the price of the éntire purchase.
With respect to coal the «an: any
. adds 10 cents a ton. his is add Kauai
-‘ to All the other ditioasl charges
already loaded upon this necessary ar-
tale ”A representative of the company
when quantified on the matter. said

themselves good for the inelease in

I! and that we. endured without

rowiitseif gtbs largest consumer of
coal ’in New England, adds 10 cents a

who to have it look as if this

From title it will bc soon that on
something over 2b 000 pounds of food
the increase in freight charges was
less than 84. it would not be easy to
divide this up among the retail char-
ges and find a fraction big enough to
handle. 0n the other hand. 34 a day
means about 81.200 0. year and 100 such
distributing stations as Hartford would
show tip a net gain of 8120.000 on just
such trifling advances—advances so
small that a corresponding reduction
would not be noticed by the trade. The
managers of the railroad say that they
expect from 8600. 000 to 3800, 000 in-
crease from the advance in freight
rates.
LOOKING FOR DELEHANTY'S BODY
Well-Known Bail Player Been to Have
Walked Off Bridge.
BUFFALO. N. Y., Jilly 8—A close
watch is being kept along the river
below the international Bridge for the
reappearance of the body of a man now
believed to be Ed. Delehaniy. the fam-
ous baseball player. who fell through
the open draw of the bridge. last
Thursday night. The then unknown
man was out off a Pullman oar attach
ed to a train on the Michigan Central
Railroad at Bridgeburg. He started ,to
walk across the bridge to‘ Buffalo.
Sam. Kingston. the night watchman
on the bridge. ordered him to return
to shore.“ There were angry words
between the two men. but it is not
not known that blows were exchanged.
According to Kingston's story the man
supposed to be Delebsnty started to
run toward the American and of the
bridge. The draw had been opened
to allow a boat to pass. he says. and
the man fell into the river and was
drowned.
River men say the body should come
to the surface today or tomorrow at
latest.
Superintendent Bennett of the Pull.
man Car company, said today: "i
found in the valise left~by the passen-
ger put on No. 6. a season pass to the
Washington baseball park. made out
in the name of Ed. Deiehaaty. and in

The most important thing now roc-
ouimcuded by Dr. Mazzoui is nourish-

'lilc following particulars were ob-
tained of the doctor' is visit this mola-
lag to the Pope:
"How feels His Hollows?" asked Dr.
Mazsoai.
“i do not feel as well. i am weak-
er." replied the Poutii‘f.
“Perhaps you did not sleep suffi-
clearly?"
“No. no," answered the Pope. “I
was better last night. i am sorry, be-
cause today should be a (1in of great
work. "
“Surely." Dr. Mazzoni rcpllcd.

"Certainly." unaltered the Pope. “l

to convince the Pope of tile necessity
for rest. urging him not to place ob—
stacles la the way of his recovcry.
"I shall do as you wish." said the
Pontiff in conclusion. with a sigh of
resignation.
Afterwards His Holiness expressed ii
desire to rise. saying he would be morc
comfortable in his arm chair.
The Pope's attendant. Pio Cilltru.
then offered to help him to rise. bill
the Pope refused his assistance. saying
he could still move by himself. In fact
without any\hcip except that afforded
by his care. the Pollliff walked a few
steps to his armchair. repeating now
and then: “i am weaker. i am weak-
er."
Part of the Work referred to by the
Pope was to repeat ll Novena to thc

making anxious inquiries and express-
ing the hope that the prayers for his
recovery will be answered. One of
linear messages. from the Rev. John
Henry, received by Dr. Lapponl. this
morning. appeals to the doctors not to
give up flu- fight to save the Pope's
lifc. Father Cleary said: “Before he
dies i wish to see the world In pence
God bless him. Do not give him up
The world needs him."
Dr. Mazmni. speaking about the
lPopc this afternoon. remarked;
"it has always been said that Pope
Leo has shown powers of t-xtruorditr
ury resistance to diseases of the con-
stitution. which is true; but. he also.
which is littlc known. enjoys the ab
solute harmony of all his organs. and
.of his physical. moral and intellectual
qualities. which is the real cause of
his great resistance to illness. Not~
withstanding his advanced age. and his
present sickness. the Pope. has a con-
stitution capable of enabling him to
recover. The difficulties and delicacy
of tho niomrut are created by the per-
lsoauiity of the Pope. He is a very scu-
lsitiva man. and a person to whom a
simple injection of caffeine chillies a
great suffering for about three hours
Three years ago. when i operated on
him for cyst. it was sairi he did not
suffer; but. in reality he did stiffer in-

“The liquid taken yesterday from the
pleura may gather again and another
operation may be necessary But. I
hope not. Some of the liquid may re
main and often the little which is left
is spontaneously absorbed. which may
be the case with the Pontiff."
The churches this morning were
.more crowded than usual with suppli-
cants intercedtng for the recovery of
the Pontiff. repeating the Pro i’ostiilco
latirmo prayer.
An instance of the strain prevailing
owing to the Pope's illness is the case
of a itomaa who went to the Basilica
and shouted: "i am the Pope's neph-
ew. The Pope is dead. We are all lost:
we must all die." He. tried to throw
himself from a considerable height.
