The bulk of the evidence in the Hinkle.
Ritter suit Is now in. and the case Will
probably reach argument this forenoon and
90 to the jury by evening. All of yester-
day morning was occupied in the reading
of the record in the trial of Hinkle In the
battery upon his daughter. Capt. S. N.
Shepard read the record, which was yolu-
minous. and afterwards A. T. Shirts, of the
firm of Shirts IL Shirts, who assisted Ritter
in the defense in that case. testified as to
the efficiency Of his conduct of the case.
Last evening. while Captain Ritter was
OF the stand, q lively scene was presented.
Ritter had asked the Supreme Court for q
reversal of the decision in the Hinkle case
because the evidence was insufficient. and
upon cross-examination by Mr.. Mccullough
he admitted that only matters Of law. not
of evidence, were decided by the Supreme
Court, and that such was invariably the
rule. Ritter had sent the case to the Su.
preme Court without n bill of exceptions.
and when attorney Mccullough asked him
If lr was not always the rule to never notice
affidavlts and the like unless a bill of ex-
captions was filed in q criminal case Ritter
became angry and said he wanted no per-
sonal remarks. upon which Henry Span
remarked that be need not take any unless
he wanted to. But the furry passed over
and court adjourned at 5 o'clock.

How Can Be stopped.
James Charlton. general passenger agent
of the Chicago Il Alton, has made himself
as prominent in the last few weeks In his
efforts to bring about maintenance of rates
as he was in the generalization of them
two years ago. and il is stated that many of
the general passenger agents Of the West
ern lines are inclined to his policy ms re-
CARDS the Chicago and Ohio River Traffic
Association lines in the matter Of extend
ing the rate war to Western lines. Mr..
Charlton says 1t will be a new principle in
railroading, and will do more than any
thing else toward putting an end to rate
wars by limiting their extension. and es-
pecially will debar scalpers from any
profit. The principle Is simply TO re-
fuse all tickets of connecting lines
engaged In q rats war OF which ara
sold for less than agreed rates. The Alton
has practically challenged Western Pas
senger Association lines to adopt this prin-
ciple- 1t has offered. through General Pas
eenger Agent Charlton. TO join with the
other lines in Instructing Chairman Caid-
we'll to Immediately notify all lines selling
at reduced rates that their tickets wonld
not be honored by connecting lines. Ev-
cry general passeDge agent IN the city ac-
knowledges that this would he an immense
step towards the maintenance of rates, and
the Alton 8 challenge Is In . far way to be
accepted.

TALK OF A THIEF
Women Tell How They Would
Treat One Of Them
IF He WERE TO BE CAUGHT
One of Them Had = Chance TO Try II
and the Result Was = Dislocated
Ear for Her Husband.

We were sitting on the steps Of the
boarding house. dozen or 80 of us
The landlady had jus told story,
which had been pronounced good by
such of us as were behind with our
board money. The story related To .
daring robbery that had been perpe-
trated in the boarding house across the
way.
IL appeared that some hardened sin
ner had entered the house in broad day
light Regardless of his reputation" as
our landlady malicioasly added. He
had taken things very coolly. and
among the things which he had taken
were various articles of jewelry which
had been rather suspiciously worn by a
lady with approximately light hair.
The burglar had remained in her room
nearly an hour and had collected every
article of value which she was not
wearing AT the time, but as she gener-
ally wore nearly all the jewelry that
she owned, he was short couple of
dozen rings and q watch. Perhaps he
was feeling sorry for this, when sud
denly and unexpectedly the lady re-
turned and caught him in the act.
Thereupon she tainted dead away and
the burglar removed from her mani
mate form those trinkets which the
poor fellow might have missed il she
had not come back just in the nick OF
time.
Some of the gentlemen of our party
said that this was rather rough on the
II H. -
weaker sex seemed to think that il
served her right-for what | did not
ascertain. The landlady simply re-
marked that the burglar was the only
person she had ever known to visit that
house and come away satisfied with
what he got in 1t.
This story introduced the general
subject of burglars. and the ladies be-
gan 10 tell what wise and vigorous &C.
ton they would take in an emergency
similar to that which had been too
much for their neighbor. Their meth
DDS of action differed one from the
other, but they were alike in this that
they left the burglar no earthly chance
to escape with his life. One of them
said she would grasp her husbands re-
volver, etc, ETC., but when l asked her
which end she would grasp it by she
was unable to state Another told how
she had once dispersed three tramps by
hurting fat iron at them. This mis-
sile had severely wounded the fourth
tramp who was approaching from an
other direction
Finally an intellectual young woman
who had recently been graduated from
an advanced educational institution
land had married q man who didn't
know whether Hamlet was written
by Shakespeare or Laura Jean Libby
spoke up in contradiction of them all.
She said it was q mistake to resort to
violence in such cases. Moral suasion
was much better. She knew how it
worked because she had had experience
with the most hardened rufiians on the
face of the earth, having taught school
in an eastern seaport town, where, in
her opinion, the boys followed piracy as
a trade in vacation time.
She said that If she found burglar
in her room she would politely ask him
to sit down.
She would then explain to him the
enormity Of his crime and its inevitable
consequences She would show him
