INTERSTATE COMMERCE. ACT.

As amended, the interstate commerce
act makes shippers jointly liable with
railway officials manipulation of rates,
and in the course of its investigations into
alleged secret rate discrimination the fed
eral grand jury at Chicago summoned
Charles Counselman, grain shipper sus-
pected of having heed unlawfully favored
by certain roads, to testify about his bust
ness. Counselman refused on the ground
that he might thereby cr:minate himself,
and was fined. His case will be appealed,
if necessary, to the highest court. The
federal authorities are inhibited by the
5th amendment to the constitution for com
pelling any person in a criminal case to
be a witness against himself. and Counsel
man evidently has good case. But as
secret rate-cutting, rebates and other UNI
lawful determinations in behalf of
favored shippers are generally made only
with the knowledge of the railway Of
fetal and the shipper, how are convictions
possible under the law? The shipper can
not be compelled to testify against himself;
neither can the official, and certain knowl-
edge of the guilty act is confined to those
two. The general opinion seems to be
that this amendment to the act making
the shipper liable as well as the railroad
official renders it impossible to convict
any one of the violation of the law. Mean
while these secret Determinations in rates
flourish about as abundantly as before the
law was passed, and the interstate COM
merce commission seems helpless to keep
within lawful bonuds, the enormous and
generally INSCRIPTIONS interests intru.ted
TO it, supervision.

when sulphonal has scarcely estab-

DR.. NORMAN KERR, of London, while
accepting hypnotic phenomena as facts,
strongly urges against the employment of
hypnotism on the ground that the after eff
feet upon the subject is disturbance to
mental balance and a dissipation of
strength, for its frequent repetition is
likely to cause intellectual impairment and
mental pervertion, that the hypnotic state
is disease, or state of jelly fish slavery,
without mental or moral backbone and
that it is not desirable that the control of
any ones thoughts and actions should be
in the keeping of fallible fellow mortal.
II looks upon public mesmerism as de-
grading and disgusting and thinks physi-
clans should not countenance it.
New YORK states total gain in popu'a-
ton in the past 10 years was 1893 ,O63, and
the figures relating TO the towns and
cities above 1000 show growth of $780,
1856, These larger places thus absorbed
the whole population increase, and drew
80, 900 more people from the rural sections.
But the five cities of New Yoak, Brooklyn,
Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse gained
altogether over 72l 900, or nearly the
whole total increase for the state. We
can get from these facts some idea OF the
enormous attractive power the larger city

She wouldn,t Tase a Dars.

w. S. Davidson, travelling man who
lives in indianapolis, was married at
Terre Haute recently in a rather ro-
mantle manner. Stopping at the same
hotel was Mrs. Blanche Frost, who trav-
els for st. Louis drug house. She and
Davidson had met few months before,
and had been corresponding with each
other. AS they were walking along the
street together Davidson said he was
willing to marry her. She said she, too,
was willing.
At this point in their courtship they
boarded car and attended a picnic at
Collett Park. During the day the sub
jcct Of marriage was not referred to,
but that evening an incident occurred
which propelled them both into the mat
rimonial current. Instead of getting of
at the hotel on their way back from the
park, they remained on the street car
until opposite the court house. Here
they got off, and going in, Davidson
dared Mrs. Frost to marry him. The
~dare" was accepted, and in very few
minutes they had procured license and
were made man and wife by Justice Eel
senthal. The bride, a handsome woman.
was born in Charleston, H., and is 20
years old indianapolis Sentinel.

army as a sort of camp follower came a
young man by the name of Eskridge and
his wife. He bought a piece of land and
remained here when the army moved
away Being industrious and frugal hs
rapidly accumulated property, and soon
had large plantation, well stocked, and
built house of four chimneys and a
mill with an over shot wheel.
He seemed to possess mania for buy
ing land, and at the time of his death,
few years previous to the war, owned
all the land for nine miles up and down
the Tennessee River and far back in the
interior. He died childless, and left his
large estate to nephew, whom he had
raised
When the nephew came into posses
in Roane county, but he was unversed
in the ways of the world and lacking in
business capacity.
Among the ambitious daughters and
designing mothers of the vicinity he had
many affairs of the heart, and to one Of
his sweethearts he gave a fine farm.
Finally he married, but lived with his
wife only one short week. She sued for
divorce and alimony, and was successful
in her suit.
At the end of three years the prodigal
nephew was bankrupt, and the great
estate dissipated; and to-day he is work.

Pending the divorce suit the nephew
sent his friend, Colonel -, to see his
wife, and to make an effort to settle
matters, and the colonel made such an
impression that he subsequently married
the divorced wife, and has given his
name to the fine old homestead instead
of the founder and builder thereof.
