FuII Ride or No Fare.

An important case affecting the rights
of passengers on street railways has just
been decided by the practical admission
of the counsel for the defendants in the
case of Harry Sloan against the Balti-
more Traction company that the claim
of the plaintiff was just one, Mr..
Sloan on the night Of Dec. 81 last board
ed cable car going east. The weather
was inclement, and Mr.. Sloan was i'll.
He rendered his fare to the conductor,
the money was received, and the fare
rung up. The car proceeded but short
distance when something happened in
the cable, and the car stopped. Mr.. Sloan
waited for some time. The car didn't
start, and he asked the conductor to re-
turn him his fare. This the conductor
refused to do, saying that as it had been
rung up it would be impossible for him
to do so without losing it himself. Final
ly Mr.. Sloan got out and walked to his
home. He brought suit before Magis-
trate S. j. Clark and was awarded $5
damages and costs. The traction COM
pany appealed the case to the city court.
When it came up for a hearing, how
ever, the counsel for the company had
the case dismissed, paying the costs, as
well as the amount of the magistrates

The Inevitablo bursting of the 30

The Inevitable Bursting of the Booms.
The Australian colonies are goinS
through a crisis of familiar kind
though in their case it is rather excep-
tionally complicated and extensive.
Their banks have taken great deal
more money to invest than they could
place both safely and proftably. There
has come a pinch and in due course
such succession of bankruptcies as con-
stitutes "a crisis" In their case the
pinch has been produced by the collapse
of what-in the new slang of commerce
is called ''boom" In land. These
things are to the spectator no more in
telligible than dancing mania or any
other form Of nervous excitement car
ried to and for space just little over
the border of madness
To the average person in possession of
moderate amount Of common sense
who merely looks on "a boom" appears
to be phenomenon of much the same
nature as those outbreaks Of religious
insanity which are occasionally heard Of
in Russia or Spain-paro1ysms of lunacy
in which whole villages strip off their
clothes and caper about the countryside
singing hymns or throw their children
into fires in order to purify them from
original sin. 1t seems so obvious that a
great many cannot make very high
profit where it has been made for q
short time by few. The end Of
''booms" is SO inevitable and has been
shown by so long and SO unvarying an
experience that it appears incredible
there should exist people who can still
rush blindly into them. To this of
course the answer is that experience has
no effect on human folly, whether it is
of the silly order which cannot learn or
of the cunning order which thinks it
can profit by the weakness OF others

A Tourist Hat.

One of the needs of the present season
is a tourist hat that can be used for va
rious purposes, soiaething not too elabo-
rate for railway travelling, but yet smart
enough to wear about the exposition
grounds and for the thousand and one
little occasions incident to the summers g
occupation of sightseeing. There are
chips and basket braids that are partic-
ularly desirable for this purpose, also
open work braids that may be made up
over lace frames lined with plain or
figured lace and trimmed with soft silk
or knots of ribbon and wings. As a
trim, useful, year-in-and-year-out deco
ration for a hat there is nothing equal to
the pretty little wings that are brought
out in such variety. Dampness and dust
seem to have no effect on them, and they
are always stylish as well as convenient.

SAN Francisco, July 2S.-One OF the
pleasantest events in the history of the
Merchants club was luncheon and re.
ception rendered to Senator George c.
Perkins today. The distinguished guest
arrived at noon and was welcomed by
President Harrington and Secretary w.
E. Erzgraber. The luncheon was served
at 1880, and at the table with Senator
Perkins were: President Harrington,
Hon. John Boggs OF Colusa, Colonel
Laidlaw, Samuel Susman, Grove P.
Ayers, O. W. Coburn, Barry Baldwin OF
the Traffic association, ex-Msyor Pond
and President Watkins of the board.
The club dining room was crowded.
AT the conclusion of the banquet
President Harrington proposed the
health of "Cslifornia's junior senator,
George @. Perkins," The toast was
drunk by the members standing. Presi-
dent Harrington then introduced Sem
ator Perking, who said when a little
more than week ago he joined with
the club in welcoming the vice-presi-
dent OF the United States, he had no
thought that he would be there go
soon himself, the subject of reception
by the club. He assured them that his
head was not nearly as large as it was
on that occasion. Important legislation
was to be enacted by the coming congress.
He believed in some form of be-metal-
ism. Silver was the proper subsidiary
coin of the people. The country has at
its head pure man, and he believed
that wise measures..would be adopted.
Passing to the subject of transporta-
tion, Senator Perkins said that he had
no quarrel with the railroads, important
as the question OF transportation was to
the people. Ho believed that any diff
ference of opinion as to the justice or
injustice of freight charges could be ad-
justed in some proper way. Charges
doubtless should be made the subject of
regulation, and the speaker knew of no
better way in which to accomplish this
end than through the medium of the
Traffic association. But whatever ques-
tions might arise in the line of his duty
at Washington, either in regard to rail-
roads or other matters, he assured his
hearers that his vote would be found
upon the side of the people.
Senator Perkins thought that nothing
worse could be said of him than his con-
nection with the subject of trsnsporta-
tion, but whatever else he might have
done. he believed that had he time he
could convince them all that he had
conducted it upon q purely philan-
thropic basis.
In closing Senator Perkins assured his
hearers that if he made blunders they
would be of the head rather than OF the
heart.
