LANE STATES HIS OPINION
Can Neither Justify Peavey Contract
Kor the Published TarlsT,
a He Says.
Several points of Interest relative to the
recent decision of the Interstate Commerce
commission In the Peavey Elevator case,
In which the majority of the commission
recognized the propilety of the Union Pa
clflo Railroad company In paying eleva
tion charges of 1" cents on each hundred
pounds to the Peavey company on grain
transferred, are brought out In the 'dls
aentlng opinion filed by Commissioners
Lane and Clements.
The majority decision was that the re
bate of 1 cent per hundred given by the
railroad to the Peavey company on grain
transferred was legal, but Mr. Lane In
his . dissenting opinion says:
' I can Justify as legal neither the Peavey
contract nor the uubllshed tariff. The
J'eavey company buys grain on the line of
the I'nlon Pacific and takes out a bill of
lading, giving Hi. Ixuls as Its destina
tion. Why It takes such billing no una can
explain. The St. Louis billing la In fact a
mere sham.
It serves no purpose save to give color
to the pretense that the grain U on Its
way to St. Louis and Is properly subject to

trsnfer at Omaha, which Is the real 6-9-
tlnstlnn of the grain.
The effect of the majority decision Is to
Icgnllt the secret contract with ths
Peavev company The hilling Is confess
edly false; the shipment Is local, and ths
so-called transfer given Is simply sn Inci
dental result of the ordinary prosecution
of the grnln dealer's bu1nes. It gives a
preference In rnts to the elevator owner
as against everyone else who wishes to
ship main Into that maiket. It Is a modi
fication of the ancient rebating scheme.

Chance for College Women.
"The most Important biological station
In the world" Is described for the benefit
of the members of the Association of Col
lege Alumnae In the latest Issue of that
association's periodical. The special pur
pose of the writer, Miss Alice Upton Pear
main, la to call attention to the research
prise of I1.0C0 to, be awarded by the Table
association In 1907. The competition is
open to all women graduates of American
colleges.
The rules of the competition Include few
restrictions other than that the prise
money must be used for the purposes of
serious study.
These prizes are comparatively new, only
two having so far been awarded. Of these
the first was announced in 1901 when Dr.
Florence Babln (Smith, B. S., '93, Johns
Hopkins. M. D 1900) won with her thesis
on "The Origin of ihe Lymphatlo Sys
tern." The men wHfj examined the pa
pers expressed their opinion that five of
the eleven Investigators represented real
contributions to sctentlflck nowledge.
The' second prize was awarded in 1906
to Miss Nettle M. Stevens (Stanford. '99,
and feilow at Bryn Mawr) for her thesis
on "The Germ Cells of the Anhls Rosae
and Aphis Oenotherae." If the winner of
the third prise wishes to carry on her re
search in "the most Important biological
station" at Naples, Dr. Dohen has prom
ised that as long as the American tables
are maintained space shall always be
found for American women.
These tables are the outgrowth of an
organization funded In 1898 under the
full name "The Naplee Table Association
for Promoting Laboratory Research by
Women." It Is composed of official rep
resentatives of two associations, five ln
dlvtdaula and thirteen colleges aad uni
versities, namely: Barnard, Brynf Mawr,
Chicago, Masachusetts Technology, Hol
yoke, Radcllffe, Smith, Pennsylvania, Vas
sar, Wellesley, Western Reserve, Women's
College In Brown and Women's College of
Baltimore. Each pays $0 annually. At
the end of April, lfms. of the twenty-seven
seventeen were American, three English
women entitled "scholars of the associa
tion," seventeen were American, three Eng
lish, two German, one Norwegian and one
Russian. Of these women twenty-three
were Investigating problems of zoology,
two of physiology and one of bofany.
American Women Enthusiastic
"The American women are one and all
enthusastlc over the opportunities for re
search which the table offers." Miss Pear
main gives assurance, "and the description
of their life and work at the station, In
the midst of world famous Investigators,
makes even the unscientific envious. The
table' itself, strictly speaking, Is an alcove
fitted up with every facility for ordinary
biological research, tanks of running sea
water for preserving specimens alive, glass
dishes and bottles of all sixes, chemicals,
reagents and drawing materials. Close at
hand are reference libraries and labora
tories for photography and bacteriology.
The Investigator needs to bring only micro
scope, dissecting Instruments and Ideas.
"To obtain the material for her research
i she haa usually but to state her needs
! rr ttisrcho. the administrator of the
fisheries. Inquires .at night concerning the
wants of each Individual student and In
the early hours of the morning his fleet
o fsmall boats goes forth to dredge, fish or
skim from the bay what Is required. The
more delicate specimen as aoon as found
are placed In glass Jars with enough water
to float them and the Jars, six or eight In a
basket, are carried on the heads of the
fishermen from the boats to the supply
room."
Sine the foundation of the station at
Naples In 1S72 by Dr. Anton Dohrn fifty
or more laboratories have been established
In different parte of Europe, America,
Australia and Japan. While this network
of small laboratories carries out the Idea
of Dr. Dohrn. the highly endowed station
at Naples offera a central point for the
Interchange of Ideas brought from all quar
ters of the globe.
Legislative Committee Named.
At the meeting of the clubs of the First
district of the Nebraska Federation, held
at Lincoln last week, Mrs. H. H. Wheeler,
Mrs. H. F. Rosa and Mrs. O. M. Btone
braker were appointed a committee to
formulate a plan for accomplishing future
legislative work, to be presented at the
slate meeting at Hastings next October.
It is a question whether Nebraska club
women will ever again ask aa much of
one legislature aa they did this year, but
the necessity of a legislative committee
at the state capital Is generally recog
nised and will probably be created a a
permanent department of the state organi
sation. A more efficient committee to
formulate plans could hardly be selected
than that named from the First district
a those women had a substantial part In
the work done this winter.
Avoid the Soft Bed.
No matter how comfortable a soft bed
and large soft pillows may be the woman
who places physical grace before physical
comfott must giv them up. At least Uils
Is ths decree of the authorities on such
matters. Women are especially cautioned
against the soft bed as positively danger
ous to her appearance and this la the rea
son they give. When the body sinks down
Into a soft bed a considerable portion of
the skin Is robbed of Its proper ventilation
and the circulation Is Interfered with be
sides. A hard bed will make the flesh
firmer and the figure more graceful.
MOST FAMOUS AMKRIC. BF.AITY
Aaron Rnrr Introdnced Her to Man
Who Became President.
Dolly Madlsnn! Truly the name Itself Is
one to conjure with. To one even who
forgets all the dates and battles and great
generals and other momentous events of
history It clings with persistence like the
lingering perfume of some old sweetness,
writes Cora A. Moore In the May number
of the New Broadway Magaslne. It means
dimples and coquetry and laughing eyes
and all the charm and witchery that make
some women wonderful. All this Dolly
was, the demure Quaker maiden from
Philadelphia, who burst from the chrysalis
of a somber girlhood to the brilliant but
terfly existence of a womanhood that
found her the absolute queen of aoclety,
the arbiter of the positions of the day, the
first lady of the land.
Her parents, mho were Friends, had
moved from Virginia to Philadelphia for
the advantages of the religious associa
tions here afforded. Dorothea they called
her Dorothea then used to walk on Chest
nut street In that afternoon promenade
which Chestnut street still celebrates, and
she wistfully watched the women of fash
Ion In their gay brocades and bright-colored
silk stockings that peeped beneath
their petticoats, for her heart dearly loved
all the sinful pretty fineries that her faith
rebuked. At 19 she married, as her psrents
wished, John Todd, a staid and proper
Quaker, a lawyer of Philadelphia. At 23
she waa a widow, and then It waa that ahe
began to develop as herself.
Aaron Burr had asked permission to
bring to call on her one of the rising
statesmen of the day, end all In a flutter
the gay young widow wrote a woman
friend that the "great little Madison Is
coming to see me this evening." She got
herself up In a mulberry satin gown that
set off to advantage the pearly white and
delicate rose tints ef her complexion, and
when, In her mother's candle-lighted par
lor, she extended a soft, dimpled hand to
the unimpressive little man In a suit of
black, with ruffled shirt and silver shoe
buckles, he waa almost overcome by the
radiance of her beauty, the laughing eye
of Irish blue and the-saucy black curls
that escaped from the demure cap of white
tulle. She was the loveliest woman he had
ever met, and he went at once about hl
wooing. In a few months the rumor of
an engagement was afloat In society.
Martha Washington, with the privilege of a
family connection, made bold to ask Mrs.
Todd how matters stood. When the widow
blushlngly admitted the truth, she was as
sured that It was all right and that the
match should have the blessing of Presi
dent and Mrs. Washington.
There followed a splendid wedding. The
1 dun-colored Quaker abode In Philadelphia
was not grand enough, and so It waa cele
brated In Virginia, at Harewood. the home
of the bride's sister, and It was a very
different scene from the first wedding, that
took place In the Friends' meeting house.
Secrets of .Popularity.
It Is the ambltloir of every girl and
woman to be popular with her frlenda
and those she admire. To be popular
with the opposite sex Is an Inspiration not
to be Ignored. First of all to accomplish
this a woman , needs never advertise her
self, because In doing this It I a plain
truth that she receives but little attention.
The girl who Is popular I usually un
conscious of It, or at least la shrewd or
tactful enough not to speak of It or ad
vertise it In any way. 8he I willing to
let the world Judge for Itself a to her
popularity. The great trouble with o
many . girls Is that they talk too much.
Every time a young man calls, sends flow
ers or bon bons, she can not resist the
temptation to tell It to . several of her
girl friends. The consequence Is that the
man Is teased by his attentions to this
girl and his devotion abruptly ceases. Some
girls are even guilty of boasting of a pro
posal they have scorned or have shown
letter which have been written for one
girl and that girl alone. So It la much
better to keep quiet, let your friend or
the world think what they will regarding
your popularity and It Is sure to develop
that the girl who does has by far the
most conquests. Never repeat anything
that a man confidea to you about his per
sonal or business affairs, a he trusts you
In this confidence, and It should be held
as sacred. A man honors and esteems a
girl that he can trust and men are very
quick to detect this characteristic. It Is
the general opinion that women and girl
are never able to keep anything to them
selves. It Is well to try and be a living
contradiction of this, and above all, do
not boast of your conquests. A girl who
1 full of fun can talk cleverly and amus
ingly, avoids unkind remarks, Is fond of
outdoor sports and Is willing to be a good
friend, Is sure to be more popular than
the girl who expects every man she meet
to fall In love with her and lose no time

MAN'S SADDLE ADOPTED BY OTHER SEX
Popular Demand for It One Academy
Lonsj Refusing to Trssk the
Method Forced to
Give In. '
Wotnoji who ride In breeches are by no
means uncommon now, despite the horror
openly expressed by some more conserva
tive friends, the same friends who a few
years ago were startled by the then un
usual custom of riding astride.
As the later style became more general
the hsblt maker responded readily to tho
demand for divided skirts, which were
easier to make than the sidesaddle habit.
Building on the fact that a leading New
York riding academy refused to teach adult
women to ride astride, opponents of th
new fashion took courage and predicted
that Its vogue would be short lived.
These predictions hare not been realised.
On the contrary, riding astride is more
popular than ever. The academy which
stood out for the sidesaddle and refused
to teach riding astride to women capitu
lated several month ago, It was forced to.
The manager found that by sticking to his
resolve ha was simply helping other riding
schools.
Those who know say that the custom of
riding astride Is now more general than
ever before not so much In New York
perhaps as In the suburb and at resorts
In the south and west frequented by New
York women, some of whom make a point
of riding sedately a sidesaddle when In
Central park, but a aoon a they shake
New York's dust from their boots exchange
the sidesaddle for a man's saddle.
What Is more, fsslUonable women have
gone a step further. Many have discarded
the divided skirt In favor of riding breeches
almost a fac simile of those worn by men.
pistol pocket Included. Express surprise
at this to a certain Fifth avenue hnblt
maker, who Is patronised extensively by the
smart e.-t, and he in turn looks surprised.
"No, of course not," he say In answer
to a question. "My latest designs of
women's riding drees are not likely to be
seen in Central park. In fact. I may say
they are never seen there, for the reason
that most of my patrons are skilled rider,
women who have ridden since they were
children, and who don't care for anything
so tame as a ride in the park. Besides,
they, are never In town except In mid
winter, a season when few women riders
are seen In the park. After the holiday
they are off to the southern resorts; In ths
spring they go to their country houses or
take a trip to California or cross th ocean
to ride on the other side.
"The popularity of riding astride can't
be judged by Central park. I have order
for twice as many riding astride habits this
spring a I hod two year ago, and Instead
of making only the divided skirt I have two
other styles equally popular. Beth of these
have breeches. One Is worn with a short
skirt and short basque Jacket, the other
without a skirt and with a long tailed coat
at least a long tailed coat I ordered with
the breeches, but often the breeches are
worn with a short Jacket or only a shirt
waist The long coat Is for dress up."
Th breeches displayed by the tailor
were cut a trifle fuller perhaps than those
worn by a man, a puckering of the material
at the Inner seam giving an Increased
looseness over th knee, but with thl
exception they were a fac simile of another
pair displayed which will be worn by a man
rider. The long coat to match the breeches,
made also of a very dark brown habit cloth
crossed with fine stripes of mixed green,
was not unlike a man's long double-breasted
frock coat fitted smoothly at the back and
sides, the skirt attached about throo
Inches below the waistline.
This coat reaches to within sr or seven
inches of the floor when the wearer Is
standing and when she I on the horse the
talis reach the stirrups.
The short skirt to be worn with the
breeches Is novel. It I about the length
of the skirt usually worn In playing golf
