On excellent portrait of G. K Lord, general

life, which is very creditable. The Age says:
when 1t was determined by the Baltimore g

King now president of the New York, Lake

Lords services for the position of general pas
Renger agent, if possible. He succeeded, and
soon Mr.. Lords activity and enterprise brought
about competitive fight between the Baltimore

earnest or far-reaching than the one to which
allusion has been made in connection with his
Western labors. At this time the Baltimore 81
OHIO was not so we'll known as a passenger line
as It is at present; 1t was pitted against the
strongest passenger road in this country. Ger
tsinly Mr.. Lord has no reason to feel in any way
disappointed over the result of his efforts to
bring the Baltimore g. Ohio into position as a
passenger line TO be respected. That he has
been aggressive Is fact, but none the less is it
fact that he has made an excellent reputation

Deserving of Favorable Mention.

That the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
should reduce passenger rates unsolicited be-
tween local points on their main line excites
favorable comment. as it shows that they are
not the grasping monopoly which the Pittsburg
papers and some of the Pennsylvania roads COM
petitors alege that they are The Pennsylvania
people, in the past, have been the first to reduce
freight rates where it was consistent for them to
do so to moderate paying basis. Now, they
lead off in dropping unsolicited, passenger rates.
The Cleveland Leader, in commenting on this
action, says: Just what has induced the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company to reduce its rates
between Pittsburg and Philadelphia and New
York is not apparent, but It shows the drift of
the times, and the current will undoubtedly con-
tinue that way. It can be said Fer the Pennsyl
vania road, however, that it was not induced by
competition or outside pressure, for the business
between Pittsburg and New York is practically
monopolized by this road. If instances of this
kind were a little more common there would not
be the cause for popular ill-will against a rail-
road company which sometimes exists Although
rates have in the aggregate especially in freight
traffic. been tending downward this is due
usually to a fierce competition for business be-
tween rival lines, and not to any disposition of
railroad companies to operate their property in
the interest of the people who have granted them
franchises. The reduction in price of one thou
sand-mile tickets from $25 to 500 on the Pennsyl-
sylvania road will also help to elevate that prop
erty in popular esteem"

Bishop O,Hara Sustained.

PHILADELPHIA, April 3.-The suit brought by
the ex-Rev M. P. Stack against Bishop OHara,
in the Common Pleas Court of this county. was
decided to-day in an interesting opinion by Pre-
siding Judge Thayer The parties to the suit
were priest and bishop in the Catholic Church
Father Stack filed declaration averring that it
was the duty of the defendant as bishop. to as
sign the plaintiff to the exercise Of his office Of
PRIEST that the defendant refused to assign him,
and that by reason of this refusal he was de-
prived of the means Of obtaining sum Of mon
ey. In rendering Judgment for the bishop on a
demurrer, the judge held that the question was
one in which the defendant had right in the
exercise of purely ecclesiastical function, to
use his discretion. In the exercise of that dis
erection he was answerable only to the laws of
the church. The priest if so disposed, could re-
fuse to perform duty to which he was assigned
by the bishop, without mourning any civil iabil-
ity, and the mutually of obligations was the
essence of all contracts.
