!, THE United States Supreme Court
Inns just rendorcd'a decision affecting
4 he right Of u State to fix by law tho
.rates to be charged by railroads for
the transportation of passengers. Tho
case arose out of tho following. facts !:
ON the: 18Th Of March, 1873, Morgan
a. Lewis, q passenger OH train of tho
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail-
road Company, tondcrcd Neal Rug
,gles, conductor of that company,
eighteen cents as faro for his tramspor-
tnt:on flom Bnda to Ncponsct, dis
.itanco of Fix miles. This was at the
maximum rate Of three cents pcr milo
prescribed by tho Statute of Illinois,
then IN force. The conductor demand
Led twenty cents, which was the faro
fixed tV tho Railroad Company. LOWS
refused to pay moro than eighteen
cents, and tho conductor thcrcupom at
tempted to eject linn from the car. For
this act tho conductor was prosecuted
before u justice Of the pcaco upon the
charge Of assault and battory and was
'hned ten dollars and costs. Tile casc
was then carried by successive appeals
to the Supreme Court Of Illinois, where
the Judgment below was affirmed. Tho
Company appealed to tho United States
Supreme Court, on tho ground that
tho Act of,tinc Illinois Legislature, fix
.iftg tho rates of fare on railroads was
I unconstitutional aud void, because it
IMPAIRED tho obligation Of the contract
Gcmbodicd in the charter of tic Co npa-
}ny. Tho Supreme Court decides:
First, that grahts Of immunity from
Legitimate governmental control are
never to be presumed. On the con-
t"ry, the prcsnmptions arc all the
other way, and unless an exemption is
clearly established the Legislature is
Tree to act on such subjects within its
general jurisdiction as public Interests
seem to require. The State may limit
the amount Of charges by railroad COM
panics for fares and frcights unless re-
strained by some contract III Tic char
ter. Second, that in the present case
there is nQ such restraint. The State,
1t is true, las given the Board of dircc-
tors Of the railroad company the pow
cr to establish such rates of tolls for
the conveyance of persons or property
rs their bylaws shall determine, but
such bylaws must not bo rcpugnant
TO tho constitution aid laws of the
Statc. If the State had not legislative
power to regulate the charges of car
riers for lire the case would be differ
ont, but that question has been settled,
and the amended charter which this
company secured from tic Legislature
must be construed in the light of that
established power. The Judgment of
t''o s@pton,o soNrt ur tiitnois Is a,urm.

And again, "Chastcn thy son while

The Coming Anniversary of the Birth of
the COmmOnwealth-HOw the City's
Guests will be Entertained-The PeO-

The anticipation Of an immense number
of visitors at the Sesqui-Centennial VIII,
without doubt, be fully realized, as ad-
vices from all parts of this state and
Florida. and from South Carolina,
are 10 the effect that the people
will come en- masse to participate in
the celebration of an event which was the
foundation Of a great commonwealth.
Under the new programme the celebra-
ton will cover two days. There will be
no trouble about accommodating those
who attend, many of whom Will only
stay one day, some coming on
the 18th to witness the pageant, military
display and listen to the address Of Cover
nor Stephens. while others will make their
visit on the 18th. so as to see the Trades
Procession and other attractions on that
dav. and the grand display of fire
works at night. 4 number of our
citizens are making preparations
TO accommodate their friends in their
homes. and this, with the boarding houses
and hotels, will provide for several thou
sand. Many Ofthe visitors will not require
any accommodation as they Will come
in the morning, and depart In
the evening. During the Philadelphia
Centennial the hotel accommodations,
which had been greatly increased for that
occasion, had a capacity for only 10000
guests. vet il is a well known fact that
100000 people visited that city in
single day on several occasions. The
fare on the railroads has been reduced to
one regular fare for the round trip from
all local points to Savannah on the Cen
trail Railroad, or one and a half cents per
mile. Tickets will be sold February 18th
and 18th, and will be good to return till
the 18th inclusive. On the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway the rates
will be half fare. or one regular fare for
the round trip, and tickets will be good
from the 18th to the 18th inclusive.

\ commercial traveller of fifteen years
experience suggests the following fire es-
cape for hotels: SAT the base of each
window above the first floor fasten n solid
iron ring. Tie to this ring an inch rope
say twenty feet longer than to reach the
ground. Coil the rope nicely at the base
of the window, and place card on the
same. saying: Not TO be touched except
i'm case of fire. Any man can go hand
over hand down a rope, and If fire Is
coming out of the windows below the rope
can be swung across. the street by those
below. and a descent on it would thus be
made easier The rope can be tied around
a ladv's or a child's waist, and they can
be let down by the men above. This makes
a fire escape from each window, and saves
the necessity of going into the death trap
of a hall, This arrangement would be
inexpensive, and every hotel should be
Obliged by law 10 furnish each room in
this way. Though the room has velvet
tapestry, this coil of rope will be 20 the
guest the best looking piece of furniture
i'm the rOOm." 1t would take many timid
people long to get used TO sleeping in
room with such an unpleasant reminder
before their eyes on retiring. The only
safe plan is to build hotels as near fire
proof as possible and have them well pro-
vided with exits. All such public houses
should be guarded and patfGlled nightly
bv rpnularly constituted officers.

Ia Favorite of the stage.

the theatrical world.
The scene of the play is in France, and
the heroine the Legitimate daughter of a
King. Through the unprincipled advances
of a wealthy adventurer "LiOnette" be-
comes suspected by jealous, passionate
husband, is dishOnOred, and forced into a
false position. The first scene closes with
a striking tableau. The second scene
opens in ''NOuvardey's" house, whittier
'.LiOnette' had gone to demand her justi-
ticatiOn. Although in the meshes, she is
no captive. In this act occurs the cele-
brated shower of gold.
The third act brings forward the re-
markable acting of La Petite Winnie
Shannon" who called forth the applause
of the audience.
The play ends i'm the death of ''NOuyar-
.dey" and the reconciliation between hus-
band and wife. Miss Eytinge belongs to
the strongly emotional school, and is
equal TO graceful emergencies.
