not entitled to record, which casts cloud on the
owners title, he may have the record Cancelled.
t. Where answer to suit to have the
record of an instrument Cancelled fails to allege
that the defendant performed the acts which he
agreed to perform, it is bad. The rights of
third party having interviewed, it is necessary for
the defendant TO show such an equity as will de-

Probable End of the Transcontinental War.
New YORK, April Zone of the bitterest rail
road rate wars that the Western roads have ever
known has probably come to an end. The
transcontinental pool was broken on the 10Th OF
February by the Atchison, Topeka e Santa Fe
making cut in the rates between New York
and San Francisco. 1t did this because the
other members of the pool would not allow as
large percentage of the freight business to the
Atchison as it demanded. All of the lines in the
pool met the cut, and the result has been
that travellers and freight have gone to
California points at extremely low rates
In passenger rates the price OF unlimited
first-class tickets from New York TO San Fran
cisco was 1920. rs. This price was cut until the
low-water mark of $780, so reached. In
freights the price for cotton piecegoods, for ex-
ample, was So per 100 pounds from New York to
San Francisco. This rate was cut down until it
became too low to quote The principal fighters
were the Southern Pacific and the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe. The other lines notably the
Union Pacific and the Pacific Mail and Steam
ship Company, followed suit but this was done
more to keep people informed that there were
such routes than because they wanted to fight.
The result has the appearance of victory for
the Atchison road. The Atchison agents have
not yet received orders on the subject although
they are expected very soon.

A Dress-Maker with Intellect.

New York Evening Post.
Dress making is fast becoming one of the high
arts. A few days ago a celebrated English jour-
nal. which is noted for its published interviews
with celebrities, reported conversation with
Madame /, leading modiste. who, it would
appear, is exceptionally intelligent person,
having studied at Girton and dabbled con-
siderably in philosophy. The journal reports
that her business is conducted on highly ar
tistic principles, and that Madame goes
every week to the National Gallery to make
sketches of costumes of various nationalties
and epochs she making artistic and antique
gowns speciality. She makes close study of
the style, form and feature of each customer,
and advises each to not wear what is fashionable
simply because it is Ia mode. but to make the
appropriate and becoming the chief considera-
tion. She thinks that if once this principle is
thoroughly accepted the world over. great
triumph will have been achieved. and that then
there will be no need of any further agitation of
the question of dress reform. Among her ap-
prentices number of young ladies, daugh-
rers of wealth, who are making study of ''ar
tstc home dress making" under Madame's
skilled guidance, Kensington and crazy work"
being quite forsaken for this more praiseworthy
and serviceable occupation.
