The C~oroner's Jury Thinks the Mother
Showed Great Negligence.
Tho jury in the case of the infant child
of Mrs. Nellie Lawrence, of Ten Mile, yes
terday brought in a verdict that the baby
died of congestion of the lungs. and that
there was gross negligence on the part of
the mother. The verdict wal based on the
testimony of several doctors and the fact
that the mother had let the child 60 too
long without nourishment. The testimony
of the mother WAS to the effect that she
was compelled to leave the child alone in
order to come'to Helena to got some neoes-
saries. On the way back she lost the road,
and that kept her away from the buby
longer than she had intended. When asked
why she had not gotten some of the
n%eiehbors to attend to the business in town
for her, the reply intimated shat they
wanted more for their services than any
honorable woman could c~onsoientiously
give. Mrs, Lawrence denied that she had
given her two other children away, They
were placed outwith other people to be
cared for. at the rate of $40 per month each.
1t was evident from the testimony that the
woman, left by her husband with only SIS.
had made as good a struggle as she knew
how against adverse circumstance.

MORTAR BOARD HATS
Occasion a Big Row Between
Sophomores and Freshmen
of an Iowa College.
Young Ladies Also Catch the
Spirit and Have a Aair-Pull-
ing Match.

MOUNT VERNON, TO-, Nov. 24.-Cor-
nell college is greatly excited over the
big class row between the sOphomores
and freshmen. The trouble commenced
over the sophOmores wearing mortar
board hats. When they appeared with
these new hats bowling mob of fresh
men attacked them and general class
fight ensued. Torn garments. crushed
hats. bloody noses and scratched faces
were the result, and the melee was only
stopped when the faculty interfered.
Tuesday evening the sophomores met
in body and proceeded to the homes
of the freshmen. Being admitted. the
occupants of the room were oyerpow-
cred and search made for Soph
hats, six of which were torn in
Mondays fight. Several freshmen. in
resisting the Sophs, were roughly ham
died. Later in the evening the sophs
met a large crowd of freshmen, who
had been looking for them, and after a
desperate struggle the sophS were
routed.
Yesterday the young ladies of the two
classes caught the spirit, and general

Cured in the hail. the faculty being
obliged to interfere. A big fight is eX-
pected, and freshmen are waiting for a
favorable opportunity, armed to the
teeth, to attack the sophs. The annual
sophomore oratorical contest occurs in
two weeks, but it is generally believed
that the freshmen will not allow it to &c
on. Interesting developments are eX-
pected before the week is over. The
faculty is doing all in its power to
quell the disturbance, but so far with
little OF no success.

What His Vermont NeighbOrs
Think of the Young Man.
Brattleboro Letter to the Springfield Republi-
can.
"Seems to me the newspapers are a
trifle uncharitable in their treatment of
Kipling," remarked one OF the neigh
bors of the young author yesterday.
"They would have us believe that he is
a sour disagreeable character, when the
fact is he is just the opposite. l have
seen considerable of the young man."
continued the neighbor. ''snce he came
to Brattleboro, and more frank, sunny
diSpoSitiOned, WhOle.SOuled fellow is not
to be found in this whole town. He is
unpretentlous, though full of enthusi-
asm, and Withal mighty bright. Just
the sort of neighbor to keep you hum
ming.
HE don't want to be interviewed and
won't be, and has the courage to say so
sometimes, perhaps, in a more forcible
than elegant way. He has no desire for
notoriety; and talk of conceit, why, it
isn't in him. He is simply devoted to
his work and don't seem to care for no
toriety, thing we Americans can't just
understand, for we are not built that
way. He is original and exceedingly
observant, characteristics which stick
out in all his writings. lie is in love
with Brattleboro scenery, notwith-
standing his somewhat piquant letter of
last spring, which rather grated on our
local pride at the time. 1t was an in
genous piece of writing, whatever we
may say, and that's Kipling.
''He is as clever little fellow as you
ever met-generous, open-hearted, and
honest. True, his dress is not of the
latest London cut, nor are his broad
brimmed soft hat and monster meer-
schaum strikingly becoming, but he
takes lots of comfort, and whose bus-
ness is it to criticise? Now he has his
new house in one of the most slightly
and quiet spots in this vicinity, over
looking the beautiful Connecticut and
the hills of New Hampshire, where he
can admire New England scenery to his
hearts content. He's making heaps of
money on his writings. and is unable to
keep pace with the demands. His man.
uscrlpt goes all over the world. so he
can afford to be just trifie independ-
ent. tell you he is a shrewd little
chap" and emphasizing this last remark
with vigorous gesture. the neigbbOr of
Kipling jumped aboard his farm wagon
and was off.

ENTITLED TO PROFIT.
Chicago Men Have a Confer
ence With the Trunk Line
Presidents.
They Wanted a Reduction in
Rates to the Worlds
Fair.
Pertinent Questions Asked
the Committee by Presi-
dent Roberts.
A Southern Pacific Circular
Presages a Passenger
Rate War.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. "a Railroad
men are narrating the particulars OF the
conference that recently took place be
tween a committee of leading merchants
of Chicago and the trunk line pres
idents. The former had heard that the
railways proposed to make no reduction
for the Columbian exposition except OH
thirty-fve hour trains, and the hotel
men promptly proceeded to form an eX-
postuIaton committee. 1t was finally
decided that Mr.. Potter Palmer, of the
Palmer house. and j. V. Farwell, Of the
big dry goods firm of that name, should
repair to New York. meet the trunk
line presidents, and insist upon gen
eral reduction of passenger rates on all
trains during the exposition.
MI Palmer, it is said, was the first
speaker He dwelt at length upon the
great benefit the fair was to be TO the
country, and of the thousands who
would attend it and of the thousands
more who would be debarred from
travelling if the present transportation
rates were maintained.
what would you suggest" asked
President Roberts, of the PennSyl-
Vania.
"a single fare for the ronnd-trip. COW
ering period from thirty to sixty days"
was the response.
The railroads, in preparation for the
exposition, are laying out
Vast Sums OF Money!
observed Mr.. Roberts. ''In addition to
hundreds Of thousands of dollars we are
spending between New York ana Pitts
burg, we are double-tracklng the Fort
Wayne road its entire distance from
Pittsburg to Chicago at an expense OF
81 ,000, 900 or $S,0JU,OO0."
But" broke in one of the Chicago
men, "you will more than get your
money returned to you by the unprec-
edented travel next year..
"At half rates?" asked Mr.. Roberts.
Eyes, at half rates"
"Now, Mr.. Palmer" said the railway
president, "let me ask you few q ues-
lions. You run big hotel. Do you in
tend to lower your rates while the eX-
position is under way?'
Certainly not" was the prompt re-
ply.
ION the contrary, have you not al
ready intimated that you Intended to
advace rates?'
"The matter has been under advise
ment," was the answer; so the story
goes.
"Now. Mr.. FarweIl," turning to the
millionaire merchant, You are the
owner of vast establishment; do you
propose to make reduction in the price
of your goodS?'
The merchant is said to have scratched
his ear mechanically.
Don't you," persisted the railway
president, "as matter of fact. expect
to realize large profits? Now you gen
tlemen come to us in the face of all this
and insist that we should lower our
rates OF lose money for your benefit.
AS business proposition, don't see
why, in the face of the enormous outlay
the railroads are making. we should not
profit from the worlds fair as hotel men
and merchants expect to do"
