1t appears that the railroads cannot
make laws of their own that will stand the
test; that is, the conditions printed on the
tickets are not binding in law. Not long
since one Marx, travelling on Kansas rail.
road, presented ticket whose limit had
expired, which was taken up by the con-
ductor and the holder put off ofthe train.
He sued the road and the court awarded
him $500 damages, holding that, notwith.
standing the conditions of the ticket to the
contrary, 1t was good until used. A more
recent case is that Of Hertzberg,
Dallas drummer, who purchased an emf.
from Dallas TO Houston, and not transfer
able. 1t had been purchased of the rail.
road company by another person, and
Hertzberg got 1t secondhand OF him, vic.
lating the non-transferable condition. The
conductor refused to receive it. and fore, d
Hertzberg to pay his way. He sued for
damages and has received a favorable dc.

WOMEN TO THE FRONT.
The first session of the University of
Texas should be signalized by the matricu.
lation Of o goodly number of young women,
There are q large numbered them in Texas,
ambitious to excel in the higher branches
OF education and no other country nor state

THE DIFFERENCE.
Men commit crime, stand their trials, are
vindicated, and triumphantly escorted to
