RAILROAD LIABILITIES The Supreme Court
ot Kansas is of opinion that railway companies
have certain rights as we'll as liabilities. In a
recent case Of appeal from lower court. the
conrt held: 1.-THE cattle Of the plaintiff were
Killed ON the railway track OF the defendants, by
train running over them. And the court held
that il was error for the court below to charge
the Jury that the defendants were liable if the
cattle we're killed through negligence or want OF
ordinary care of the defendants. 1t was an error
10 refuse to charge the jury that the defendant:
were not liable unless the cattle were killed
through the gross negligence of the defendants
The court furthermore held that when per
son allows his cattle to run upon the landS o
the railway company, in the vicinity OF rail
way track, threby endangering the lives anC
property OF passengers and others, he can re
cover only for injuries done to his cattle through
the most gross and wanton negligence of thu
railway company.

he expresses the wish that one or two mana
gers of the library may come up TO this
standard, 'if they can be found and his de-
scriptions of the character Of the books that
meet his appreciation embody a. scathing
criticism of much of the popular literature of
the day.
One of the clauses of the will states that
the fortune it bequeaths belonged mainly to
Mrs. Rush, and that she had intended to ap-
propriate it to similar purpose-so that the
testator desires the credit of the donation to
reflect back upon the original owners of the
estate, Jacob Ridgway and his daughter
Phoebe Ann Rush The proposed new section
of the library is to be called ''The Ridgway
Branch of the Philadelphia Library" Various
injunctions carry this idea still further, espe-
cially those relating to the removal of the
remains of the persons referred to to the
precincts of the new building, the construc-
tion of a marble slab on which their names
are to be inscribed, and indeed a leading idea
of the whole bequest is stated to
be the erection to their memories
OF monument more durable
than any other grateful record" the testator
could make. In one point of view, perhaps
this idea has been carried to undue lengths
too little latitude may have been left for the
the exercise of the discretion and Judgment
of the present and future stockholders and
managers of the library. Mr.. Rush may have
been over-anxious to impose peculiar or unne-
cessary restrictions, but nevertheless the aid
granted is so substantial that the party con-
ferring it may well be excused for giving
full and frank expression to his views and
wishes

DIR. RUSH.S WILL.

Too much credit cannot be awarded to DIR.
James Rush for the public spirit he displayed
in bequeathing an estate valued at about
million of dollars to the Philadelphia Library.
The increasing disposition of the rich men of
the country to appropriate portion of their
surplus wealth to the endowment of colleges
or the enlargement of libraries is gratifying
sign of the times, and it exemplifes the
sagacity as well as the good feeling of these
generous donors. Girard, Astor, Peabody,
Packer, Cornell, and Rush will be gratefully
remembered for their contributions to educa-
ton and literature long after the fortunes
which millionaires leave exclusively to their
families are squandered and forgotten, and
time, instead of destroying their benefcent
influence, will only strengthen and increase it.
1t is said we should never look in the
mouth of gift horse; and DIR. Rush had an
undoubted right to annex whatever condi-
tions he deemed proper and desirable to his
valuable bequest. 1t is evident, however,
that while some of the stipulations and sug-
gestions are wise and prudent, others are
quite singular, and that, as a whole, 1.-The will
is a literary curiosity. 1t combines with its
beouests series of commentaries that are
decidedly piquant, and that gain impressive
ness from the pecuniary penalties with which
they are enforced. He utters a strong CON
demnation against the propensity of American
citizensto squander rtheirfortunes in Europe, in
a clause directing that the annuities OF all his
legatees be stopped during any period
that they may absent themselves from
their native land. He specially COM
mends the Philadelphia Library for alb
staining from practice, too common with
other institutions, of expending money for
feasts or lunches, and he severely denounces
the ''schemers" and ''spendthrifts" ''who,
under the specious cloak of liberality, or OF
being what is called pubic-spirited citizens,
have no hesitation in spending the money OF
other people, in order to crafty their own
vanity or to promote their own private inte-
rests" He also deplores, incidentally, the
scarcity of men of general knowledge, OF
brOsd observation, and liberal thought, wheH

tempt made by burglars upon one Of your safes in
counting
The key to the safe which we kept our securities
was locked inside OF our ire-proof book safe, the
doors OF which were literally cut to pieces from this
they obtained the key to the other safe and opened
it Fortunately we had one OF your Burglar-Proof
Bankers Chests inside, in which our valuabes were
deposited. This they went to work at with will,
and evidently used up all their time and tools in vain
attempts TO force it. The night was dark and stormy,
and the fact OF their knowing where our key was
kept shows that their plans well matured. They
tried wedging the door and body OF the Chest, and
the faithful safe bears evidence OF the labor and skill
devoted to the work. All was useless, and 1t is with
great satisfaction we report that upon opening 1t
found our securities all SAFE and therefore cheer
fully indorse the Burglar-Proof work recommended
by you.
You will please send the new safe purchased by us
70 our counting house. and take the old one to show
that some safes still manufactured worthy OF the
