Responsibility of Telegraph Companies

The question of the validity of the
stipulation printed on telegraph blanks,
to the effect that the company will not
be responsible for mistakes unless the
message be repeated, has been consid-
cred by the United States Court at
Leavenworth, Kan. I'VE can only say"
remarks the Court, that any rule or
regulation of the company which seems
to relieve it from performing its duty,
belonging to the employment, with in
tegrity, skill and diligence. contravenes
public policy as well rs the law, and un-
der it the party at fault cannot seek re-
fuge. If it become necessary for the
company in transmitting messages with
integrity, skill and diligence TO secure
accuracy to have said message repeated,
then the law devolves upon them that
duty"

recommend is entirely free from specu-
lation as to its cost and of its value to
commerce.
They are all based upon exact informa-
ton; this information comes from disin-
terested and honorable officers Of the
government; and it covers the whole
range of inquiry as to the expediency
and cost of the improvement.
On such information where it appears
that the preservation Of life or of prop
erty, or the interests of farmers who have
grain to ship, or of others who have goods
to carry, will be secured best by making
these improvements, congress would fail
in its duty to the people if it neglected
to order them and to appropriate for
them. And where it appears that trans
portation charges will be lessened and
commerce increased by improving river
or harbor, the congress which hesitates
because of fear that the appropriations
will thus outrun the appropriations of
some other year will be truly cowardly.
When the nation was in peril the congress
appropriated all that was required and
vast as the sum was the patriotic people
approved. And in the work of improve
ment where the public interest will be
served public approval is sure to follow
the most liberal appropriations wisely
expended.

How the Ignorant Are Swindled.


Every bad business has history $50
journer Truth says ''there is no begin
ming but the beginning of wrong, y
and there was a first time for putting
into practice every bad thought that
ever grew into a mean habit or trade.
The origin of the cheating establish
ments known as 'tPeter Funk" auctions
is thus given in New York exchange:
The mock-auction business as a spe-
cialty, was started in New York City
more than forty-nine years ago, by a
man named Pliny E. Davis. His method
was to sell goods cheap and make up
the profits by the excessive number OF
pieces in lot.
For instance: If stranger bid off a
card of knives and spoons at three cents
apiece, there would be found on the
same card package of needles, which
would be put in the bill, each needle be-
ing counted. The purchaser might lay
down a five dollar bank-note and ask
for change. but he would be presented,
probably, with bill of twice that
amount.
In order to attract strangers red flag
was displayed at the door and a num-
Der of bidders would be in service. One
of the most active of them gave his
name as Peter Funk, which soon be.
came by-word.
A great many petty frauds have been
perpetrated in these mock auctions, ano
one of the many victims was clergy.
man from Johnstown, Pa, now dead
He had been attracted by the low prices
in which goods were knocked down
and was tempted to bid on large caro-
of miscellaneous articles. What he saw
y YOU'D haye been cheap sn9Qchb ft lfyt
needles, which was more than he ex
| pected.
Instead of one dollar and fifty cen
purchase, his bill was nearly fifty dol
lars, and having incautiously laid dowr
bill of that denomination (Which wa:
all he had), they handed him trifiins
amount of change.

She Knew Herself.

A raw-boned Irish woman entered
one of the national banks in Providence
the other day and presented a check at
the cashiers desk. The cashier looked
at her and said politely, Madame, you
must get identified Faith an what's
that?" ''Why, you see, you are a
stranger to me. don't know YOU

Finn, and I'm not ashamed of itr'
'sWell, but you see 1 can not tell wheth-

the check" said the cashier, too polite
to tell her that perhaps she was lying
about it '.And what did ye say must

one here that knows you" ''Indade!
An who knows me better than know
MYSELF" The cashier paid the check
without another word.

Gus De Smith was sitting in res

'You alone are to blame for this ex-
travagance on my part replied Gus,
pouring out glass, which he did not

creditor.

A l,ingnist.

A party of American tourists were
dining at an inn in Southern France.
Among them was Chicago girl who
had been educated at fashionable la
dies seminary in that city. She had
addressed the waiter in English, who
politely confessed his ignorance by ask
ing her if she would be so good as to
give her order in French. While she
was giving it he stared at her with
growing bewilderment, and when she
had concluded said:

Setting a Bows Broken Neck.

Perhaps the most wonderful surgical
operation ever performed in Southing-
ton was that which saved the life of the
little son of Mr.. Orlando Whitney, of
Darien, whose neck was dislocated by
the upsetting of q carriage. The opera
ton was performed by Drs. Russell. of
New Haven. and Osborne, OF Southing-
ton. and was one which required great
skill and delicate manipulation. Tho
little one was obliged to lie in a plaster
of Paris cast OF his whole body, from its
neck to below the knee joints It was $
life-a movement to the right or left
would have caused instant death. Dr.
Osborne, we believe. has had charge of
the case since the setting. and under his
care the child is progressing favorably.

Boys IN Germany.


Consul Flynn writes from Chemnitz,
Saxony:
If the German boys do not cut up the
pranks and perform the tricks of their
American cousins, they enjoy them
selves in way that is entirely satisfac-
tory to themselves. They have, during
the summer months, in all large towns
and cities, large swimming baths, con-
structed like those in Chicago, where
they flock in large numbers in the even
ings and on Sundays. They can have
all the fun of this kind they want, in
Guiding clean towels and neat dressing
rooms, for about five American cents.
Then gymnasiums and museums are
well patronized. 1t is rare thing to
find Saxon youngster who cannot per-
form on the horizontal bar, on the
rings, or on the flying trapeze, feats
that would be creditable to profession
| al athlete. The boys are generally well
developed, muscular and agile, and
| good health seems to take fancy to
| them.
In disposition they are as amiable as
| girls-more amiable than some girls
Their manners are pleasing. They are
| DtlllC dIo AACy w
not swear, ''chaw" nor smoke. Fist
| fighting is not to their liking, and vul-
garity is unknown among them. They
are sedate, quiet, peaceable and good
natured at all times, while in the pres
ence of their elders they observe with
astonishing precision and wonderful
| Judgment the laws and regulations laid
down for their guidance at home and in
| the schools.
The work which the small boy is
called upon to do in America is done
here generally by girls or full-grown
men. There are no telegraph boys. All
dispatches are delivered by men in uni
! form. There are no cash-boys, girls
| generally filing such positions. Boys
| are not called upon to run errands for
the public. Able-bodied men in uni
form, large enough to be trusted with
| valuable packages, stand atevery corner
and are ready to come at your beck or
call. The newspapers are carried and
sold by men. There are no newsboys.
| No idle boys are seen on the streets
When they are not at school they are
learning a trade, and after business
hours they generally betake themselves
| TO some place Where tney can exercise
themselves, or they study their lessons
so as to be prepared for the early morn
ing class.
There are no street Arabs in any OF
the German cities-no ragged urchins,
no Artful Dodgers, and no ''wipe-nip-
pers." There are no sooty-faced, bias
phemous bootblacks. In word, the
American small boy, of high or low de-
gree, would find his occupation gone,
whatever it might be, if he emigrated
to Germany. He would pine away and
die of a broken heart. Chicago Nea0s.
