Shibe Park Oct. 24-The fourth game of the world's championship se ries was played here today, after a wek's delay because of rainy weather. The protracted interval was thought by the Giants friends ' to favor the New Yorkers but there ' was nothing in the game today to show where the Athlet! ics had lost their winning stride. . Matthewson had lost his terror and it was seen by close observers that Mc- Graw hal hun? too long on his lea-iing t wirier, as the one who could alone win the championship. It was Baker "the terrible" again to day, his long hits two and three bases being largely responsible for the runs. After getting ten hits off Mattbews'-n in seven innings, Wiltse was sent in who was hit safely but once, but the gaue was lost. Four doubles and a triple show that Matthewson was hit hard.

In modievul times, when life was rery Insecure, It was usual for people to sleep on a bed which was surround- nd by sides of boards with strong posts at the four corners. These sides outalned eliding doors, which could lie fastened Inside. When men retired lo rent they took a weapon with them. If attacked in the night they were roused by the noise made by tbe crashing in of their wooden defense and were able to defend themselves. When the law became stroug enough to protect human life the sides of the bedstead were gradually dispensed with, but tbe four posts remained. The boxlike bedstead still survives In the rural' parts of Scotland and is al most necessary where tbe eartberu tloDl'WTllli lupei fed tilings cause much damp. Emily Bronte in "Wuth- erlng Heights" describes one of these bedsteads in tbe old mansions as form ing a "little closet." Mr. Loekwood, who had to sleep in It, says, "I slid, back the panel sides, got In with my light, pulled them together again and felt secure." , He Lagged Superfluous. PlttsQeld, In the Berkshire bills, had lu tho old days, like many another New England town, a number of men and women who were called "charac ters." One of tbeso was Bill Brown, a man unfortunately addicted to drink aud frequently Intoxicated for days at a time. On one occasion be went into tbe shop of the local hatter, Mr. Smith,, aud asked for tbe best beaver In the store. Mr. Smith produced tbe desired article, saying as be took tbe money, "That beaver will last a man a life time." " Bill went proudly down the main street with his flue beaver on bis bead and Immediately celebrated the event with a protracted debauch. When he recovered he returned to the shop with a most disreputable bat ."Look here, I thought you said this here beaver would last me a lifetime.'

Washington, Oct. 26-Agents of the Interstite Commerce Commission have collected a mass of figures which prove that the American Suger Refiling Com- ; pany commonly known as the Sugar Trust enjoys freight rates remarkably low compared with those afforded oth er shippers. : Tbe commission last spring instructed Frank Lyon, a special attorney, to make an exhaustive examination of the cost of hauling coal from the West Vir ginia coal fields to the Lake Erie porta. for the purpose of guiding tbe comm's si n in ita deC'sion on applications mada by carriers for an increase in rates At torney Lyon, ith a corps of expert accountants, proceeded to Collect the data ordered, and in comparing the va rious commodity rates in vogue in the Southwestern territory discovered tbe remarkable discrepancies which are so favorable to tbe Sugar Trust. , Lyon's agents discovered that all the known rules of freight rates making are contravened lor the purpose ol granting the sugar interests preferen tial rates. A scale of cost prices com piled by th ) commission's agents for hauling sujar anl other' commodities from th coast line to inferior points . shows the following rates. ' ' : Suga',' valued at approximately $160 par ton, is shipped at one and ninety three hundredths mills per ton per mile. , Cem nf, which is valued at only $30 per ton, is assessed at six andsixtenth mills per ton per mile, Machinery, whose . ton valuation is almost bnposaibl) to estimate, owing to the many classes, ia charged seven and one-half mills. CoaL which has a mine valuation of little more than $1 per ton, is charged three and thirty nine hundredths mills. Produce, whose value is variable, is charged thirteen mills. . , These are only a few of the remark able Iscrepancies found. .;. While (hey chow on their face that sugar is the a M I j: . .. .1 .i. great prvierreu lajiniiiuuiiy, uie ele ment of coat to the company does not show oo the tabulation. For example, '8 tone f sugar is considered to load, because owing to its hulk It is impos sible to put more thin that amount into one car. The ordinary load of coal it 44 tons. Produce runs from 69 tons per carload upward, and machinery aver ages 100 tons to tha carload Ordinarily railroads chsrge a freight rate for the transportation of commodi ties which is arrived at by the compari son of the weisrht of the commodity and' its valuation, which meant that the company chargea more where a greater ' risk it taken in the cost of. the freight than where the risk it slinrht. Tbe same it true of express companies and all other tranaportatlon'companiea. But a principle diametrically opposite to this plan it used in charging for augar ship matt; sugar, the most valuable com modity, it thlpped at the lowest rate. The capacity of a car ft also consider ed in the hauling nf commodities gener ally, but in the cats of tugar the rules have been reversed. Although sugar is the bulkiest commodity named in the tabulation, it it given the lowett fri Ijht rate t. ,': -. aiL. A Good Oil Heater. Nothing is better to heat quick with, than an Oil Stove.
