ADJUSTMENT OF FREIGHT RATES.
Causes of Friction Botweon Shippers
and Steamships to bo Removed.
By Associated Press.
r New York, May 24.--Private
cable advices are to the effect
that a new agreement to go into
-operation on June 1, has been
entered into between the vari-
ous London Steamship lines
.apd the London corn trade asso-
ciation whereby a number of
causes of friction between the
srteamship companies and ship-
pers probably will be perma-
nently removed.
The most important clause in
the'agreement is one whereby
the Shippers shall pay the steam-
ship 'line over and Obove the
regular freight rate a sum equal
to fimr-fifths of 1 per cent of the
value of the consignment, cal-
culated on the shipper’s invoice
price. In return for this the
steamship people agree to de-
liver the full amount of grain
signed for in- the bill of lading
and to make up any deficiencies.
Another important clause is
that allowing steamers to dis-
charge at Rilbury docks or else-
where providing they lighter
the grain to the Victdia docks,
a distance of something more
than fifteen miles.
This is a matter of no little
importance to grain exporters,
as it will enable them to sell
grain in specific lots and make
.deliveries according. The four-
fifths of 1 per cent is on grain
from Canadian and north At-
lantic ports. Shippers from
,gulf ports will pay seven-eighths
■of 1 per cent.

is assured.
According to the circular, the
General Electric company Will
acquire the Sprague concern by
an exchange of securities and a
little cash.
The options which the se-
curity holders of- the Sprague
company are requested to give
expire on Jnly 10.
The capital stock of the
Sprague Electric company is
given as $0,000,000. The Gen-
eral Electric company recently
increased its capital stock to
$4o,000,000. The absorption of
the former concern practically
leaves tile manufacture of large
electrical goods in the hands of
two concerns—the Westing-
house and the General Electric.

In all kinds of atmosphere the breath
should only be inhaled through the
nose. An occasional breath Of extra
pure air through the mouth may bs
good, but in cars and In most offices
and rooms nose breathing is essential.
A second rule Is, since so much time la
spent In cars and offices and rooms In,
earning a livelihood and since these
places are overheated and underventt-
lated—the heating and ventilation be-
-lug out of the control of most of us—
we must take In fresh air whenever
possible In order that we may restore
the balance. The best times to do this
will he early In the morning, when the
air la freshest, and late at night, when
deep breathing will help us to get sleep.
We may breathe correctly while we
are waiting In a street and especially
where Streets meet. We can soou form
an automatic habit of breathing prop-
erly on such occasions.
Two Great Paletere.
When in Haarlem. Vandyke called
upon Frank Hals and, without mak-
ing himseff known, said that he war
anxious ,^0 have bis portrait painted,
but, as lie was In a great hurry, be
eould apart but two hours, at the end
of which the portrait must be done.
'Hals went to work and finished It, sad
Vandyke was much pleased. But por-
trait painting seemed a very llttlk
thing, said Vandyke, and ke aaked Hals
to change places with him. Hals did
so, and as Vandyke fnlshed his work
Hals b tagged him enthusiastically, say-
ing: “You an) Vandyke. No one but
he can do what you have done.” And
so the two greet masters became ac-
quainted.

Years ago, when the flour trade of
Minnesota was In Us Infancy, two dar
big speculators—Petar Muller of St.
Pan! and David-Bnrost of Minneapolis
-waged a perpetual warfare to control
the market The two, towns being near
together, there was frequent couommud-
cation betweeil the families In each,
and It so happened that m son of Barnet
fell In love with and became engaged
to a daughter Ot Muller. The parents
of Jx>th being wealthy people for those
times, lt was expected Chat each would
snake a liberal donation to the young
couple. Barnet, who was a generous
man In every way, led Off by announc-
ing that he would take his sou into
partnership with him and give him a
house. Having made this promise, he
waited for some intimation of the In-
tentions of Muller. Weeks passed and
no such intimation came. At last I<ena
Muller told Frank Barnet that her fa-
ther claimed that In America If was
the custom for the husband to take bis
wife and support her without assist-
ance from her father. As Muller came
from Germany, where dowries are al-
ways expected, this argument was very
weak and showed a penurious spirit.
'Not-long after that Muller received a
business communication from Barnet
stating that he had made a contract to
deliver 10,000 barrels of flour and of-
fering an astonishingly high price for
the lot. Muller wrote that he- wtauld
furnish the flour, but, as barrels were
scarce, he would not Include them in
the contract. To this Barnet agreed.
It happened that the wedding had
been arranged to take place a few days
before the time agreed upon for the
delivery of the flour. Mr. Barnet at-
tended the wedding and was In excel-
lent spirits. Mr. Muller seenied some
what depressed. Nevertheless there
was a cunning look In his eye. As soon
as the wedding was over ho took Mr.
Barnet aside and after Insisting on
ills sampling some very fine whisky
he had just received from Keutucky
confessed that he was unable to ful-
fill his contract to deliver the flour.
"I know that very well, Muller,”
said Barnet. “I own all the flour in
these parts. You can’t buy a barrel of
lt anywhere."
“That was very smart of you. Bar-
net, to corner the market. At what
figure will you settle?”
“Oh. give your daughter $10,000 fo»
s dowry, and we’ll call It square."
“All right." And, going to a writing
desk, Mullor drew a check for the
amount, taking a release from Barnet.'
"Now I think we’ll try another- glass
of that Kentucky whisky,” he said.
After a liberal supply of the bever-
age the two men rejoined the wedding
party and mingled with the guests.
Just before the bride went up stairs
to put on a traveling costume Muller
qtepped up to her, and In presence of
ttife4:uest8, who were flocking around
her, he banded her the check for $10,-
000. The news of the gift was soon
known to the assembly and the two
towns, and for once Peter Muller got
credit for being a very liberal man.
The next day Barnet went to Mul-
ler’s office. He was ushered Into thfe
private room, where Muller transacted
his most important business. Muller
greeted him pleasantly and asked If
he had not awakened feeling very well
after the fine whisky he had drunk.
“There’s not a headache In a barrel of
tt,” he said warmly. ...
“It's about barrels 1 have come to
see you.” snld Barnet. “I understand
that you have a lot7of flour barrels.”
“You’re right there. I own all the’
barrels In Minnesota.”
Barnet looked grave.
“You want them for your flour,” con-
tinued Muller, “and you shall have
them. I was offered a good profit for
them this morning, but I have been
keeping them for you.”
“Yes.” said Barnet; “I want them.
You know that I have contracted to
deliver a large quantity of flour by
tfce last of this week, and I have no
barrels. Wliat do you want for them?”
“Acta,” said Muller, dropping Into
German. “I will turn them all over to
you at the price I paid for them, only
you give me a check for $20,000 in re-
turn for the one I gave Lena yester-
day; with one day’s Interest. Lena
will get all I have when I die. Just
now your boy will have to support her.
America Is a fine country. I like Its
customs very much."
Barnet smiled grimly. Going to a
desk, he drew a check for $20,000 and
handed lt to bis rival.
“All right. Mr. Muller,” he said.
“Frank Is perfectly able to take care
of yotar daughter, and I’ll engage that
she shall haye all that-she has been
accustomed to have.”
"Good morning, Mr. Barnet. Come
over with your family to my bouse to-
morrow night. We have a few frieflds
coming. Besides. I want you to .try
some more of that Kentucky whisky.
It is fine. Isn’t It?” And he slapped
Barnet on the back.,
Mr, Batter nau notuug to say. . , T -
The next evening the Barnet family
were at the Mullen’, where they founll
A large company. During the evening
Muller approached his daughter and
said effusively: '
"Lena I will double your dowry.
You give me the check for $10,000, and
I will give you one for $20,000.”
The checks were exchanged amid a
clapping of hanASPand the oongrmtula-
tlous of the guests.
“Come, friend Barnet,” said Muller.
“I want you to try some of that Ken-
tucky whisky.”
When the two men stood opposite to
each other, glass in band, Mr. Muller
said:
“After all, Mr. Barnet, a dowry Is a
vood'thing, but it makes a heap of dlf-
, (erence wbo furnishes It” .
