INTERESTING TO TRAVELLERS,

The Supreme Court of the United
States rendered decision on the Sd in
stant in the case of the New York Cen
trail and Hudson River Railroad Com
pany, plaintiff in error, vs. the Countess
Olga de Maluta Tuolof, defendant In
error, which settles the question of re-
sponsibility of common carriers for lost
or stolen baggage. The defendant in
error is a Russian Countess, who, while
on pleasure excursion in this country,
lost large amount of laces from her
trunks while they were in the cust,dy of
the plaintiff. The alleged value of the
laces was $4,000. The case was origin
ally tried in the United States Circui,
Court If the Southern District of New
York, and a verdict for $40, 900 rendered
by the jury in favor of the Countess.
The counsel for the Company argued
that the Countess, having failed to in
form the Company's agents of the value
and extraordinary nature of the contents
of the trunks when she gave them in
charge. was guilty of an act of bad faith
or fraud upon the carrier, which should
bar recovery for anything excepting
the value of ordinary or necessary wear
ing apparel. The Court held that while
it was competent for carrier of passen-
gers, by special regulations, to protect
itself from liability as insurer for bag
gage exceeding a fixed amount in value,
except upon paying additional compen-
sation proportioned to the risk, these
regulations must be distinctly brought to
the knowledge of the passenger. The
carrier may require, as a condition
precedent to assuming any responsibility
that the passenger state the value of the
baggage so that if it exceeds the amount
which the passenger could reasonably ask
t, have transported as baggage without
extra compensation, the carrier may
make such extra charge as the risk justi-
fes. The carrier may also be exonerated
from responsibility if the passenger by
any device or artifce evades inquiry or
practices any deceit.
The Court held that in the absence of
any legislation limiting responsibility, in
the absence of any reasonable regulation
brought to the notice of Che passenger,
and in the absence of all inquiry as to
the value of the articles carried, it could
not declare, as asked to do, that the fail
ure of the passenger to inform the car
rier of the value of the baggage was
itself a fraud which would defeat the
right of recovery.
By general law an absence of any spe-
cial regulations or contract, it is assumed
that passenger has the. right to carry
such articles adapted to his personal use
as his necessities, comfort or qualification
may suggest, according to his or her sta
ton and condition in life.
In this case Justices Miller, Field and
Strong dissented from the decision of
majority of the Court. They held that
275 yards of lace claimed by the owner
to be worth $4,000, and found by the
jury in the court below to be worth
SIC, 900, could not as matter Of law be
considered as baggage, for which the
Railroad Company could be held respon-
sible without special contract.

this cruelty of women to their ruined"

woman has not the ballot. and that this
narrative Of Christ's rescuing the. fallen
woman is "a good woman suffrage text"
In this as in most of the reforms which
are proclaimed as to come by woman
suffrage, there seems to be wonderful un-
consciousness of womans nature. or an as
sumption that woman is to be wholly made

mains of her present nature.

The investigation of Captain Ambrose,

ing an unfavorable look for him. 1t has
already been ascertained that he is guilt
of several and MANY overcharges Of fees,
How it was possible that these crooked

1t is to be hoped that the guilty one in

Ignorant, stupid laborers will often do more

therefore advise such of our readers as are
fond of their gardens to supervise such
work themselves, unless they can get the

Cows--Therc is no better feed, as a

may be cases in which some stimulating
food may be used with benefit. Early grass
is not heathful, being immature and too
