Important Supreme Court Decision

CHICAGO, March 31.-The supreme court
of Illinois, a full bench asserting, have
just fled an opinion declaring in substance
the Pullman Palace Car company and like
corporations as common carriers, placing
them in the same category az railway COM
panies. This is contrary to a decision
given by the same tribunal SOME years ago,
and afirms the principle the present Iegis-
lature has en0eavored to embody IN stat
ute suit brought By Luke Nevin against
the car company for refusing to permit him
to occupy sleeping berth assigned him,
which he offered 20 pay for. The lower
courts decided that plaintiff had no power
TO enforce the accommodations from the
car company, and it was optional on it,
party to furnish the same. The court as
serts that the running OF sIeepers
has become business of social necessity,
and IN this the law can impose obligations
on the company the same as on railways
ferrymen or innkeepers. In the language
of the opinion, when, therefore, passen-
ger who under theArules of the company
is entitled to a berth at payment of the
usual fare and to whom no personal OF
lection is attached, enters the company's
sleeping car at proper time for the pur-
pose of procuring accommodations, and
in an orderly Snd respectful manner ap-
plies for berth, Offering or rendering the
customary price therefore the company is
bound to furnish it, provided it has a
vacant one at its disposal" For breach
of this, the implied duties, the court holds
the company clearly liable.

after great difficulty, and she gives an
account Of their visit to Chicago,
IN which she charges Francis with
taking her money, after spending ais own,
and with beating her, and alleges that it
was only at the muzzle Of pistol that she
compelled him to give her money enough
to return home. She accuses him of ruin
ing her and threatens to prosecute him.
How mach reliance can be placed upon

The following matter on this page appeared

eomparatively few in the country care to pay

St. Paul postofice and goes out in the same

FOLGER,

Secretary Folger continues to improve
IN health, and it is thought he will be able
TO resume his duties at tho treasury de-
partment IN few days. The appoint
ment Of Graves as assistant treasurer was
made by the president upon Folger's rec
ommendation, and that of Capt. Burrill as
chief OF the bureau of engraving and print
ing, was made by Acting Secretary French
III pursuance of the secretary's direction.
1t thus appears that he is already giving
some attention to matters abefore the de-
partment. The secretary will, however,
undoubtedly act upon the advice of his
physicians, and take trip to the Bermu-
das before resuming personal charge of
the treasury department.
THE SECRETARIES.
Secretary Lincoln is expected back from
the West Monday. Secretary Teller and
Assistant Postmaster General Hatton have
returned to Washington from their attend
ance at Postmaster General Howe's fun

ARTHUR.
The president will leave Washington on
Monday or Tuesday next for a short visit
to Florida. He will go direct to that state,
and will remain there in quest OF rest and
recreation for ten days. The length of his
stay, however, will depend upon the
weather. He will bs accompanied by Pri-
vate Secretary Phillips and Mr.. Miller, of
New York. The details of the trip have
not yet been arranged. It is settled, how
ever, that the joorney to and from Florida
will be made as direct and with as few
stops as possible. The probability is that
the president will not start until Tuesday.

WASHINGTON, March 3d. never saw
such dull time for lending money as we
have had recently" said well-known bro
ker this morning. 81 haven't had a decent
demand for a loan for some time past.
People don't seem to be borrowing money
now"
what is the reason?" was asked.
Il suppose the reason is" was the reply,
that people are paying their notes in
stead of continuing them. It shows very
favorable condition of affairs In real
fact it shows nothing of the sort. The
government clerks have got tired of pay
ing 10 per cent. month interest. The
money lenders are kicking, but the clerks
are obdurate and refuse ia many instances
to pay interest at all. A number of eases
are pending. but the showing up of the
usurious practices Of many brokers will
break up an illegal system which keeps
the noses of many clerks to the grlndstone
ell the time.
WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
1t is now rumored that the Washington
monument, which is rearing its peak we'll
into the clouds, may become 4 source OF
danger instead of a mark Of patriotic
pride. The story is printed to-nighs as
follows: Several days ago, Col. Casey and
prominent civil engineer were standing
near the Washington monuments, e1patiat-
ing on the magnifcence of that structure,
when the latter said, 'Ses here, Col. Casey,
do you really believe that this monument
is absolutely ssfe?'
"Oh yes" said the colonel, ''It is safe
enough, but it is settling little. mean
it is settling entirely straight, and as long
IS it does there is no danger"
"But suppose it does not settle straight,
what then!'
''Well, she viii just topple, or else we
will have counterpart of the. leaning
tower of Pisa, which will discount Clopat-
re's needle.''

pointed wagon master in the army, but
his disgraceful actions have increased
rather than diminished since going West.

close confinement. Sherman concludes
his telegram by saying ''Panish him as he
deserves, but shoot him rather than let him
come back to Washington" Butler vas

ingtou has been a continual round OF dis
sipation in its worst forms. His appoint
ment was to get rid of his presence at the

the latter, through the Vaccinations of

of commissioner of railroads, which he
sought. All of the representatives in COZ

THE QUAKER POET.

John Greenleaf Whittier was born
at Haverhill, Mass, in 1908. He is
a descendant of family belonging to
the Society of Friends, with which
Mr.. Whittier is also connected, and
from which fact he has gained the
name of the "Quaker Poet"
His earlier years were spent on his
fathers farm, and in the occupation
of shoemaker. A strong desire for
learning led him to the local academy
for two years course of study, and
in 1929 he went to Boston and became
the editor of the american Mdnufdc-
tetrer, protective tariff publication.
In 1880 he edited the NeaC England
RecieD, at Hartford, Conn.,, from
which place his first literary efforts
were sent out. In 1885 and 1886 he
represented his native town in the
Massachusetts legislature, and was
one of the Secretaries of the Ameri-
can Anti-Slavery Society, and during
the same years was editor of the
Pennsylvania Freeman, in Philadel-
phia.
In 1910, he removed to Amesbury,
Mass, and employed portion of his
time as corresponding editor of the
National Era, an anti-slavery paper,
published at Washington, D. G.
From that time till now, his life
has been devoted to literature and
philanthropy.
His first venture in a literary way,
was published in the Newburyport
Free Press in 1926 He is a prolific
writer, and his prose has been widely
circulated. He is thoroughly Amer
lean poet, selecting the home subjects,
which find welcome in every heart,
and portraying with graphic word
pictures the bright side of human life.
There is never an exceptional line in
Whittier's poems. They may lack
the perfection of idea and expression
which characterize the shorter lyrics
of Longfellow they may lack the
humor of Holmes, and the polish of
Tennyson, yet they have a quaint
simplicity, which gives him an indi-
viduality entirely his own.
The general impression of Whittier
is one of simplicity and quiet quaint
ness, yet, at times, he bursts forth
fire and energy which seems to spring
from the intermingling of his very
life-blood, the outpouring of his soul,
in his ardor and enthusiasm.
Whittier may not be ranked by
critics among the great poets of the
world, but it is for but few, to hold
the love and tender regard which he
holds from the people of his native
| land.

ANCIENT HISTORY MoDERNIzE

ANCIENT HISTORY MoDERNIzED.--
s'Pa," asked Willie Jones, as he was
studying his history lesson, "who was
Helen of Troy?"
"Ask your ma," said Mr.. Jones,
who was not up in classic lore.
''Helen of Troy" said Mrs. Jones,
who was sewing a new heel on the
baby's shoe, ''was a girl who used to
live with us; she came from Troy,
n. Y, and we found her in an intel
ligence Office. She was the best girl
1 ever had before your father struck
Bridget"
''Did pa ever strike Bridget?'' ask
ed Willie, pricking up his ears.
Il was speaking paragorically,"
said Mrs. Jones.
There was silence for a few mo-
ments, then Willie came to another
epoch in history
''NIa, who was Mare Antony?'
can old colored man who lived
with my pa. What does it say about
him there?"
''It says his wife's name was Cleo
patra.'
''The very samel Old Clo' used
to wash for us. It's strange how
they come to be in that book. 7"
"History repeats itself, murmured
Jones vaguely, while Willie looked at
his ma with wonder and admiration
that one small head could carry all
she knew.

HIS ONLY CHANCE.

A passenger on a small steamer
running along the American shore of
Lake Huron hunted up the captain
and said:
Captain, the mate is drunk -
Eyes, l presume so,' was the re-
ply. "That's his greatest fault-he
will get drunk
Pretty soon the passenger return
ed with further news. He had found
that the chief engineer had been ac-
cidentally left behind.
"Oh, well,'' replied the captain,
"some of the firemen will put her
through all right.
In the course of half an hour the
passenger discovered that the boat
was overloaded, short-handed and
leaking, and he returned to the cap
tain and reported, and added:
''I expect nothing less than to be
blown up before we reach Lexing-
ton"
"My FRIEND" said the captain in a
fatherly way, "that's your only
chance. We won't have a storm,
the mate is SOLDERING up, the boys
have gone down to stop the leaks,
and if we can't blow you up and set
tie with your widow for about $3.50,
I'm afraid you'll live for several
years yet. I'll 60 down and see if
there is any chance for an explo-
sion."
