An Important Decision.

The principle involved in the deci-
sion of the jury in the case of D'Huy
VS.. G. K. and w. R. R. is a very i'm
portant one. The facts were: D'Huy
went to the waiting room at Manches-
ter to buy ticket for Abilene. He
just had time to get a ticket before the
train would start. He found the
ticket window closed and got on the
train without ticket. The conductor
demanded the regular fare and ten
cents additional for not having ticket.
D'Huy stated to the conductor tina the
had applied to the Office for ticket
ami the Office was closed and refused
to pay the additional ten cents. The
conductor called for help and they
elected him from the car. For the
purpose Of showing this railroad COM
pany that it could not unlawfuIly eject
a man from its train this suit was
brought and the company must pay the
costs. The law requires that every
ticket Office shall be kept open for
thirty minutes Immediately prior to
the departure of trains and that
unless the ticket Office is so kept
open during the entire thirty minutes
no conductor can collect any more
than the. regular fare. Mr.. D'Huy
Immediately boarded the train again
and paid his extra fare under protest,
so that he suffered no damage, but we
admire his pluck in giving this railroad
to understand that if-it desires to CON-
pei passengers 30 pay extra fare itmust
comply with the law itself.

The Question is Often Asked:

"What are Hamburg Figs?" They are
simply crystallized fruit cathartic,
composed of vegetables and fruits.
They are natural laxative, assisting
nature to overcome constipation, liver
complaints, biiliOusness and piles.
Physicians recommend Hamburg Figs
to be given to infants, to youths and to
their parents, knowing them to be a
mild, harmless, but most efficient laxa-
tive and purgative. During pregnancy

such who drink American wines even after

DIR. TINDALL'S SUGGESTION.
1t Would Be Good idea to Make the Po
lice Lieutenants Captains.

DR.. Tindall, secretary of the District Com
missoners, does not believe that the police force
is invested with enough authority or dignity to
bring it up to the level of other cities. ''While
| do not care to usurp any of Maj. Moore's
rights" said DIR. Tndall, 81 think the best
move he could make would be to change the ex-
isting state of affairs at the various station
houses. In the first place, would make every
lieutenant now in charge of the precincts a cap
tain, so that each place would be looked after
by such titled officer. 1t has a better sound,
is more compatible with dignity, and | am sure
of the force Every other city OF Importance
has its precincts presided over by captains, the
head being either a major or inspector, and
there is no reason why such large place as this
city shouldn't follow suit l firmly believe in
increasing the force, as Maj. Moore proposes,
but | am sure, on the other hand that the desig-
nation of captains to look after the precincts
will help affairs CONSIDERABLE

st. Peters New Church Beautifully Fitted
Up for the Great Fair and Bazaar.
The grand fair and baZar for the benefit of st.
Peters new Catholic Church will be opened to-
morrow evening at the new church, corner of
Second and G streets southeast, by Cardinal
Gibbons, with elaborate ceremonies and music.
The fair will be held in the main body of the
church building. The booths, which have been
designed by johnson & Short, architects, and
draped and decorated by the most experienced
decorators in the city, present a magnif-
cent effect. There are six principal booths, in
cluding large flower bower and several an
neXes. The onein charge of the Sunday school
teachers and scholars is magnificent design II
pink and white, representing the Greek Pan
theon; the Sacred Heart booth is quaint Moor
ish design in red and white; the Sodaity booth
a Venetian ideal in blue tints and white, while
the Ladies Benevolent booth represents Swiss
chalet style of architecture that is both unique
and beautiful Besides these principal booths
are the Confectionery booth, a handsome design
of ornamental work and art drapery, and the
paddle boxes, which are draped In the national
colors and are purely American in type. The
flower bower is a large octagonal structure in
the centre of the hall, with a minaret roof,
which fully suggests the object for which it was
erected. A section of the Marine Band, in CON
junction with the grand organ, will render the
music on the occasion, which will consist in
part of two grand choruses by large choir
composed of the leading singers of the city.
The new church is one of the largest in the city,
and its principal auditorium is being used as the
fair hall. 1t is large, spacious, and excellently
ventilated, and with the magnificent decorations
presents the most beautiful fair hall that has
been witnessed in this city. The fair continues
from September 30 until October Is.

The Speed of Railway Trains.

The demands of modern travellers is con
stantly in the direction of increased speed, pro-
vided it can be attained without increased risk.
No trains in the world meet the required con-
dtions as fully as the Royal Blue Line trains
and New York via B. & o. r.. r. All the cars
in all the trains are vestibuled, heated by steam,
lighted by gas, and protected by Pullmans
anti-telescoping device. The engines all burn
hard coal and coke, so there is absolute free
dom from cinders and smoke. The road is a
superb double-tracked steel-railed highway, and
travel on the Royal Blue Line is therefore not
only safe, but it is free from all disagreeable
features.

Whether this would debar his appointment is
a question: of course, although his service since
that time at the Smithsonian, with the Geological

that he is not physically disqualified for shore
duty. Indeed, since the accident he has made
