POTATOES IN MANY ISTYLES.
the Adventures of a Michigan Statesman
‘ ‘ in Chicago.
Although he is ordinarily a mild-
‘tempered man, Representative Good
cl, of Wayne County, in a fit of right-
eous indignation, introduced in the
Legislature a bill which, he believes,
will protect home industries against
foreign invasion. The industry he
hopes to protect is the American Ian-1
guage, and the invader is the French
tongue, Coupled curiously enough
with indigestion.
_ Mr. Goodel went to Chicago recent-
ly and incautiously went into a
French restaurant on South Clark
street. As he looked over the bill of
I.‘ are his eye was caught by the phrase
"‘l'ommes Vde terres,” underneath
which were grouped a number of sub-
divisions as follows: ‘
Natural,” “Sautes,” “Au Gratin,” “En
lobe de Chambre.” He called the
waiter and said:
, “Waiter, I will begin with some
frites. Have them on the half shell.
Then bring a bowl of an naturel. For
an ongt-ray I will take a little sautes,
{with some an gratin on the side. As
the last dish I will partake of some
en robe de chambre.”
Whereu-pon, in the order named,
fried potatoes, boiled potatoes, sautes
potatoes, potatoes an gratin,- and po-
tatoes boiled but unpeeled came be-
fore Representative Goodel. In order
to sustain'his alleged knowledge of
French Mr. Goodel ate them all. His
deemr's bill was large.
" 1%, He Took Advice.
;' M. du Maurier, his son tells us, had
no idea of appropriateness in dress,
and did not know one fashion from
mother. “My sisters,” said Mr. du
Maurier, “looked to it that he got the
right things in his pictures. He would
«come home sometimes and sketch
Something which had attracted him in
a passer-by on the street. Often it
would be some impossibly queer ar-
rangement, and my sisters would pro-
test: ‘Why, father, you mustn’t use
that in Punch. Nobody wears those
”things now; they are” dreadfully old-
i’ashioned,’ and he would give in imme-
diately to what he recognized as their
superior judgment.” This will be a
blow 'to the. hundreds of people who
modeled their dress upon that Du

ions. however. were correct, for his
family saw to it that they should be.

FREIGHT POOL DECISION.
More Railroad Companies Leaving the
‘ Rate Associations.
New York, March 26. —— Dispatches
from the west received in this city to-
day show that the exodus of western
railroad companies from the various
rate associations precipitated by the
United States supreme court decision in
the Transmissouri Freight association
case continues.
Two. roads followed the example of
the Santa Fe in withdrawing from the
Western Freight association yesterday.
These were the Burlington and the
Minneapolis and St. Louis. They both
went a step farther than the Santa. Fe
in that they withdrew from all organi-
zations of which they were members——
passenger as well as freight. The Santa.
Fe is still a. member of the Western
Passenger association and will remain
so until fully satisfied that the law ap-
plies to passenger traffic as well as
freight. It was expected that the Rock
Island and the Milwaukee and St. Paul
would also withdraw, but after mature
deliberation'these two roads decided
to content themselves for the present
with abstaining from any action in
meetings or looking toward ‘changes in
rates as they at present stand until the
full scope of the supreme court's de-
cision can be fully ascertained. The
Chicago and Northwestern road occu-
pies a similar position.
_ All the associations still retain their
corporate existence and will continue
to do so for the time being. None of
them, however, will attempt to do any
business until it is decided what their
future will be. .‘That they will be con-
tinued in some form is a foregone con-
clusion. The business of the roads is
too much interwoven to permit of its
transaction without some means of mu-
tual action. It is confidently believed
that some way will be found of reor-
ganizing them in. such a. way as to pre-
vent complete demoralization.
The Memphis Road.
Kansas City, March 26.—The Kansas
City, Fort Scott and Memphis road yes-
terday gave formal notice of its in-
tended withdrawal from the Western
Freight association and the Transmis-
souri freight rate committee, the only
traffic organizations in which the Mem-
phis is represented.
One result of the supreme court’s de-
cision was shown yesterday when a
number of local grain firms ignored the
branch office of the Western Freight
association in billing their cereals east.
Heretofore all this business has been
transferred through the local office of
that association. In the future these
firms will present their billings to the
different railroad companies individual-
ly. Should the roads refuse to transact
the business thus offered them the law-
fulness of the organization of the West-
ern Freight association may be brought
to the attention of the federal courts.

A Prominent Contractor Charged With
Trying to Poison His Wife.
Yonkers, N. Y., March 26.—Wallace
M. Halsey, son of Edmund Halsey, one
of Yonkers’ oldest residents, was charg-
ed by his young wife, in the court of
special sessions, today with having
willfully placed a quantity of carbolic
acid in her food last Monday.
Mrs. Halsey’s principal witness was
Dr. Strasser of St. John’s Riverside
hospital, where she went after having
eaten the food supposed to contain the
poison.
Mrs. Halsey is an active member of
the First Methodist Episcopal church.
It is said that her husband became en-
vious of her success in religious circles
and that he threatened her with bodily
harm on several occasions if she did
not take a less active part in church
work.
Wallace is the eldest son of the Hal—
sey family and is a prominent builder.
Dr. Strasser found considerable car—
bolic acid in the food which had been
eaten by Mrs. Halsey, and had it not
been for prompt medical attendance
she would probably, have died.
Mrs. Halsey left her home at No. 218
Neppcrhan avenue and is now at the
residence of her father, Mr. Olser of
Sing Sing. ”
Wallace Halsey pleaded not guilty to
the charge and was held by Judge Kel-
logg for further examination. '
