THE JOURNAL
NEW ANNOUNCEMENT.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is rec
ognized everywhere as the leading newspaper
of Indiana. No proper expense Is spared to
maintain this undisputed excellence and to
increase the value and interest of the paper.
THE JOURNAL was never SO well equipped
to serve the public Our arrangements for
the collection of the news of the day are moro
complete than ever, and we have added some
special features which must enhance the pop
ularity Of the paper
THE JOURNAL is the only paper in Indi
ana that prints regularly the fun reports OF
the Western Associated Press, which are now
more comprehensive than ever, covering the
whole world. These dispatches are supple
mented by the work of special correspondents
at all the principal cities and towns of tina
State and of the county at large. We have
special resident representative at Washington
City, who looks after the news of the national
capital with vigilance, paying particular at
tention to that which most nearly concerns
THE JOURNALS constituency. The full
est and most reliable intelligence from Wash
ington will be presented in our news columns.
free from party bias, impartially, and without
restraint.
Editorially THE JOURNAL is Repub-
lican paper believing in the principles and
general policy of the Republican party; but it
recognizes that the day of blind party organ
ship has passed, and it proposes to be perfectly
free to criticise and condemn, but in spirit
and with purpose for good, having proper
regard for personal rights and regulations.
The citizen, whatever his political faith, can
be assured of seeing in the columns of THE
JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation
of the news, and in its editorial columns such
respect if they do not meet his approval. 1t
may also be said that THE JOURNALis pub
lished as FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 1t rec

to be instructed and entertained. They viii
always find in its columns matter specially
prepared for them, while the paper will be SO
conducted as to prove welcome visitor in the
household. The news viii be presented I'm
such shape as to minimize the evil, and ito
editorial and local columns will be kept free
from moral faint.
The Railroad News of THE JOURNAL is
admittedly the freshest, fullest and most aceu-
rate printed by any newspaper in the country.

Gives mp Her Young Husband just
for His Family's Sake.

Six years ago, at the Theatre Comique,
in Washington, a company of ballet
dancers was engaged, one of whom was
known as frankie Christy. She was
short, stout, and good looking, and was
an excellent dancer, and her graceful
manner and bewitching eyes captivated
of an Admiral. She, on her side, was
willing enough to receive his attentions.
He was of good family, and appeared to
have money enough and to spare. The
intimacy between the two increased, and
he used to wait every night to see her to
her home. One night he made declar-
alton of his love. Notwithstanding the
difference in their stations, and the fact
that frankie was 40, as well as fat and
fair, while the cadet was only in his Goth
year, she accepted him, and they were
married by DIR. Addison, an Episcopal
minister.
The sensation in society circles which
followed this announcement was like the
explosion of bomb. The young mans
family were astounded and shocked.
They were in high station of life, and
the fact that the scion should have
formed such an attachment was too much
for their sensitive nerves. The Admiral
held several interviews with the actress.
but without effect.
One day, however, he went to her
rooms and laid the matter before her.
He told her that his sons connection
with her would ruin not only his own
prospects in life but those of his family,
and implored her for the sake of the love
she protested to have for him TO renounce
him. HE has q sister, said the old
officer, ''whose engagement will be
broken off if you do not do as I wish"
The reply she made recalls that of
Camille under similar circumstances.
''Sir, said she, 81 can see that / can
never be received into your family. I
had intended to renounce the stage and
my present life, and try to live differ

may do, l can never gain your esteem.
see this young man has made mis-
take, and / will not compel him to suf-
fer for it. will leave the city and go
back to the stage; but you must never
let your son see me again"
The same night she went West, where
she has since lived. A few days ago
the tie which bound the two was legally
separated, divorce being granted on
the ground of desertion. When last
heard from she was dancing in a variety
theatre at Butte City, Montana.

The Liability of Employees.
a DECISION BY THE UNITED STATES So
PREME COURT THAT SETTLES MATTERS.

The United States Supreme Court rem
dered on Monday decision which
abolishes, in q large percentage of cases,
rule that has long governed the courts
of this country and England.
An accident caused by the gross neg
ligence of one of the company's servants
occurs on the railroad. The killed and
injured include number of passengers
and several employees. Every passen-
ger injured and the legal representatives
of every one killed may recover dam
ages. But to a suit brought by any of
its employees or his representatives the
corporation pleads that it is not liable
for injury to one employee caused by
the negligence of another. This de-
fence has hitherto been generally recog-
nized by the courts of this country as
good one.
The principle is not limited to rail-
roads. 1t extends to all employers.
Two or three years ago the principal
was set aside in England by statute. In
New York State and in Massachusetts
efforts have been made to secure similar
legislation, but they have been defeated
by interested corporations.
In the case before the Supreme Court
an engineer on one train had been in
jured by the negligence of a conductor
On another. The company set up the
usual defence that it was not liable be-
cause both engineer and conductor were
It's own employees. The Supreme Court
holds the company liable. 1t says that
the two employees were not fellow SER
wants. The conductor was in superior
and the engineer in subordinate grade
Of service. The Court was not called
upon to determine the law in a case of
fellow servants. But it set aside the old
common law rule in cases where the en-
ployees are not in the same grade of
service.

The New State.

Between 1870 and 1880 the improved
lands and farms in the Territory of
Dakota had increased from AZ 645 to
l, $50, Alb acres, and the number of
farms from 1,72O to 1899. The valne
Of those farms was 500, 400, 600 and the
valuation of the agricultural products
for 1880, 1924, 600. No rule has
been established by Congress as to how
much population should entitle a terri
tory to admission as State. No state
since the admission of Missouri in 1921
had had population enough when il
was admitted to entitle it to one mem
Der of Congress. But if a population
should be required equal to the unit of
representation in the lower House of
Congress, which was now a little over
$50, 600 persons, Dakota would stand
the test. The vote of Dakota in 1884
was Sc, 900, two-thirds of which was cast
in southern Dakota. Estimating only 4
inhabitants to voter, southern Dakota
would now have a population of 230, 900.
So says Senator Harrison, the father of
the bill, to make southern Dakota q
State.

stronger impression than school lessons.

he was asked, eyes," he answered

answered. "Why not?" Because

The Jews in Russia.

A somewhat remarkable article has
appeared in the RuSSche Revue, by
Prince Dermidoff de San Donate, in
which he shows the very oppressive
legislation under which the Jews exist
in that country. Except in exceptional
cases, they are not allowed to live where
they like, but are forced to reside in GER
tain provinces, and then only in the
towns. By the law of 1866 this position
was somewhat ameliorated, and the jew
ish workman was permitted to quit his
birthplace and settle in another; but
practically he cannot move without
passport, which has to be renewed every
year, and this may be refused on very
slight pretense Even if he was allowed
TO go, he would have to obtain permit
of soiourn from the municipal authori-
ties of the town OF his choice, which
would probably be refused, and if this
difficulty were surmounted, another per-
NIT would have to be obtained for carry
ing on his trade. His wife and children
may accompany him, but no other rela-
tives and if he dies in his new abode,
his family are obliged to return to their
original residence. Should he himself
grow old or incapable of getting his live
lihood, he has to do the same, even
though it was thirty years since he
made the change. In almost all parts
of Russia, Jews are forbidden to buy OF
to cultivate land, and there are also re-
strictions on their entering certain trades
and professions.
