A Rochester woman recently brouy n

A Rochester woman recently brough
suit against a man and tried to recover
SO 900 damages for running after her,
holding her and violently aud forclbly
kissing her. But on the trial, it appear
ing that the man had only one leg, and
was blind as q bat, and ha | lost bis right
arm eleven years ago in a buzz saw inci-
dent, and was sixty-two years old ana
30 deaf that he couldn't hear man ask
him for dollar, the case was dismissed
at plaintiffs costs, Without going to the
jury. And the plaintiff is the maddest
woman, and has written to Susan B.
Anthony and the New Century for
Women about it. 1t does seem as Though
there was no law for women in t1is
country.

may be permitted to say that Mr.. Dahl is
a man of unusual ability, who possesses,
along with considerable experience as a
teacher, an extensive and varied knowledge
IN languages, the natural sciences, and
mathematics. Although a native of Dem
mark, he has SO complete a mastery Of
English, that it is not easy to detect, even
in q very long conversation, that he is
speaking a language not, except by right
OF conquest, his own. We cordially wish
him entire success 10 the important work
which he is now about to take in hand.

RAILROADS VS.. DRUNKEN MEN.-
The Supreme Court OF Indiana has
decided that "a railroad company is
not bound to receive any person as a
passenger who is drunk to such de-
gree as to be disgusting, offensive,
disagreeablc or annoying, and the
person SO drunk as to be likely to
violate the common proprieties, civ
ilities and decencies of life has no
right to passage while in that con-
dition. The comfort and convenience
of passengers generally must be pro-
tected, their opinions and feelings re-
garded, and proper decorum obscrv-
ed, and, although in q railroad pas
senger, neither the highest breeding
of the drawing-room nor the fastidi-
GUS delicacy of the parlor is required,
yet the behavior Of all persons there
in should be becoming the place and
general character of passengers
Slight intoxication, such as would
not be likely to seriously affect the
conduct of the person intoxicated
would not be sufficient ground to re-
fuse passage in public car, although
his behavior might not be in all re-
spects strictly becoming"
