THE New York supreme court has re-
Gently decided that a baggage check is
not evidence that the holder had any
baggage in the custody of any parties,
nor does it establish any contract to de-
liver any baggage to any particular
place. A check is only a token at
tached to any article of baggage by
which it may be Unidentified. If person
alleges that he committed a piece OF
baggage to transportation company or
other common carrier, to be delivered at
a destination, and the baggage be lost OF
not so delivered, the claimant must
prove all the facts. The check may
assist in establishing the claims alleged,
but it has no special sanctity or force.
Such, In substance, is reported to be the
decision Of the court mentioned. 1t
follows that a passenger has no evi
dences Of any baggage committed to a
carrier nor contract for it's delivery. The
ticket for passage only mentions the
amount of baggage that the holder is
permitted to carry on the contract for
passage, but it does not specify or admit
that any baggage is being carried. The
only security which the passenger has in
the premises is in the honesty and capa-
bility of the employees to whom the bag
gage Is committed.

INVESTIGATION has brought out the
fact that many men who are drawing
disability pensions are living in soldiers
homes without cost to themselves and
are earning regular wages for the per-
Torrance Of manual labor. Further in
vestigation shows that, except in the
cases of those who draw pensions under
the act of 1890, nothing can be done to
prevent a continuance of this practice
without new legislation. 1t is evident
that the whole system of pension laws
Is faulty and in need of a thorough re-
vision, but we have serious doubts as to
the courage of congress to make that re-
vision. Pensions have been used as cap
ital 30 long by demagogues that the
people at large will have to be educated
on the subject before the pressure upon
congress becomes strong enough to COM
pei action. The preliminary steps in
this educational work are being taken
by the administration in its endeavors
to clear the roll of its illegal pensioners.
Later the revision of the laws will come
in answer to q public demand in which
thousands Of old soldiers will join; in
deed, many of them have already done
so. AS soon as pensions are entirely
divorced from partisan politics justice
will be done, alike to the taxpayers and
the old soldier.

AMONG the apparent inconsistencies
of human nature is the coupling in the
same person of abilities in music and
mathematics Nearly all the great
composers were apt at figures, and now
and then one finds an arithmetician
who is a good musician as well. Such
one is professor in one of our east
ern colleges. He seems almost to live for
geometry and calculus, confesses that
he takes little pleasure in romance or
in visual beauty, has no eye for color
but keen one for line and form, and,
in fact, would seem to be q man who
was incapable of the emotional force
required for the performance of music;
yet, next to mathematics, music is his
greatest delight, and not only does he
play correctly, but he plays with re-
markable expression

ell has risen in Kansas. He claims
that he can establish direct electrical

can produce clouds by sending the
gases into clear sky. When this is
done small clouds begin to gather in
all directions, and within short time
the sky is shut out by q solid mass of
clouds from which rainfall is certain.
He says that he can also send a captive

THE FALCON SAILS.

NEW YORK, July 3-The Falcon is now
on her way to the Arctic region, but she
will make several other stops. The roster

At least 500 persons visited Peary's ship
Sunday as she lay at the Brooklyn bridge
wharf, and when she cast off there were
several hundred persons on the dock. The
crowd cheered as the vessel drew out into
midstream, and the strange noises caused
the Eskimo dogs to bark and the donkeys

Matte Collins of Ragged island was lost
on harbor Oderin. The crew managed to
get on the rock, but the sea was making a
clear break over it. They secured ropes
and dashed themselves to the rock, and as
each wave passed over them they took

night. Their position was discovered in
the morning and their rescue effected,
each one having to be pulled through the
water for 60 yards to the boat.
