In the days when our English fore
fathers were more concerned about plenty
Of hard fighting than about the way
their food was prepared. the proverb
God sends meat but the devil sends
cooks" must have been uttered by some
tough old warrior who was wrestling
with an unsavory dinner. Since that
time. the world has been reaching the
conclusion that a means Of gauging the
civilization Of people is the state OF
their cookery. and now great deal of
attention is paid to gastronomic science.
Cooking schools have been established
in the cities, manyof our public ward
schools give cooking lessons two or three
times a week. while this year the Mime
sofa School of Agriculture holds sum
mer school of dairying and cooking for
women. What We eat has become of i'm
portance and how it is to be cooked is
is a question not to be disregarded. Al
ways leaders in the improvement and ad
vance incident to civilization, railroad
companies took the initiative and, by
the establishment of veritable hotels on
on wheels. rescued the traveller from the
lunch counter and the railway eating
house, the Scylla and Charybdis Of
travel. between which ones digestion
was almost sure to be wrecked. At the
head Of all stand the peerless dining
cars Of the Burlington Route running
on all its principal lines. in which. at q
moderate price. the tourist may have as

Washington, April 26.-The case of the
Mobile & Ohio Railroad company against
the State of Tennessee and the counties
of Chester, Gibson, Madison, McNairy
and Obion, was argued before the United
States Supreme Court on Tuesday.
The main question involved in this suit
seems to be on the construction of the
eleventh section of an act of the Tennes-
see Legislature, passed January %, lS4S,
as follows:
Be it enacted, That the capital stock of
said company shall be forever exempt
from taxation, and the road, with all its
fixtures and appurtenances, including
workshops, warehouses and vehicles of
transportation, shall be exempt for
period of twenty-five years from the COM
pletion of the road, and no tax shall ever
be laid ON said road or its fixtures which
shall reduce the dividends below s per
cent.
The period of twenty-five years was
held by the courts of Tennessee to have
expired on April %, 1886. During that
period attempts were made by the State
authorities to assess taxes against the
company. A litigation ensued, in which
the taxes were held valid. No other at
tempt was made to enforce taxes against
the company until the beginning of the
suit. In the meantime, and subsequent
to the company's charter, various acts
had been passed by the General Assembly
of Tennessee. All taxes under these acts
have been assessed and payment demand
ed. On the company's refusal to pay the
assessments, the bill was filed. In an
swer to the bill the defendants rely upon
the exemption contained in section IL OF
their charter, the same constituting con-
tract between the State and the company.
which was accepted by the latter in good
faith, and upon which its railroad was
constructed, and appointed within the
termini and periods of time fixed by the
said charter. They hold that it was not
within the power of the Legislature by
subsequent legisla ton to violate or disre-
gard that contract or impose taxes from
which, by terms of the contract, the COM
pany was exempt. This cause was heard
by the Chancellor of the Tenth Division
of Tennessee, and a decree by him was
made in favor of the plaintiffs for the
recovery of the taxes in question. An ap-
peal was thereupon taken to the Supreme
Court of Tennessee, which affirmed the
Judgment of the Chancellor. The case
comes before the Supreme Court of the
United States on alleged error in the
record of proceedings in the above cause,
and appellants further assign for error
portion of the decree of the Supreme
Court of Tennessee.

FORTUNE FROM AN EGG.
1t Was the Beginning of Bankers Prog


1t Was the Beginnlng of Bankers Prog
ress Toward Fortune.
Col John Hay, of Washington, Abra-
ham Lincoln's biographer, has a
brother, Mr.. Charles Hay, who is a
rich banker at President Lincoln's old
home, Springfield, III. Banker Hay
has been mayor of Springfield more
than once.
When Banker Hay was a small boy
in roundabouts he lived in the village
of Warsaw, III. One bright spring
morning he called upon a kind neigh
Dor who owned a very Industrious hen.
Master Charles had always been
much interested in this particular hen,.
always so punctually on her nest, and
this morning the kind neighbor pre-
sented him with the new laid egg as
soon as the hen left the nest.
Master Charles proceeded to ask
questions about the egg, and became
so interested in the whole subject of
incubation that before the day was
over he went to another neighbor
whom he knew had hen about to set
and requested the privilege of placing
his egg in her nest.
Master Charlie paid the nest a visit
regularly every day after school And
10! in the process of time forth from
the egg came particularly promising
little chicken, which, in turn, grew up
and laid eggs.
These Master Charlie sold or else had
''hatched out. With the money for the
eggs sold he bought brood of chickens
whenever he could.
With the chicken money fine calf
was bought, which in time became
handsome COW. From profits from her
and from the poultry colts and pigs
were bought. Before he knew it young
Master Hay was a stock raiser.
In the process of time stock raising
became so profitable an employment
that the young man had money to in
vest in unimproved real estate in the
city of Springfield.
Not long after he engaged in thereal
estate business in Springfield He be-
came influential and wealthy. He met
there banker Ridgeley's pretty daugh-
ter and by and by they were married,
and he became banker.
Who can say what further honors
may not be in store for Mr.. Hay -all
due to his brilliant fnanciering of an
egg.-Boston Globe.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

TAHLEQUAH, l. T., April 2Z-Early
yesterday morning the most destructive
fire that ever occurred in Tahlequah
originated in the livery stable of John
T. Wilson. A stiff south wind was
blowing, and in less than an hour four
teen places of business were in ashes.
Thirty horses were burned TO death in
the sta bile, many of which were fine ones,
belonging to members of the Cherokee
legislature now in session here. The
merchants affected had just received
large stocks of goods in anticipation OF
the big per capita payment soon to be
made in this nation, and but little in
surance was being carried. The loss is
variously estimated at from $50, 600 to
SIS, 900, with perhaps SO, 900 insurance.
