Indian Coronets.

American women who long for coso-
nets should hesitate before accepting In
dian, ones. The case OF an English woman
who sued for divorce from her Hindoo
husband points a moral. She alleged
cruelty as q ground for her suit, and 1t
is claimed that the same plea might be
made by nearly all the women who mar
ry orientals and go home with them.
As a usual thing. the oriental gentle
man pursuing his studies ait an English
or American university Is o picturesque
figure. He is likely to be very clever,
and it is taken Tor granted that he Ia q
prince at least, when he is at home. He
10 popular with his fellows, and through
one of them he meets and marries n
pretty, freely brought mp girl. Then he
takes her home.
She may not meet with unkindness
from her husbands family, for the orr
entails have many amiab1e and attractive
qualities, and they are not cruel. But
IL the husband has not cut himself adrift
from the religion and ties Of his child
hood his wife must conform to d certain
extent TO the ordinary life OF the native
woman. And, inasmuch as she will
only do this 90 far as her love and duty
to her husband oblige her, she will Ger
tainly fail to satisfy her new relatives
and will be looked ON with GOODNESS and
suspicion by them.-New York World.

enough to make more than drop In the

lined before this convention and continue
TO maintain itself"
On through traffic the Southern PACING
had to make rates with the other roads on
a mileage basis. Fuel is much deaTer In
California than it is in the East. Then
there is the expense of main tanning snow
sheds. In getting over the mountain
ranges that inclose California an eleva-
ton of 1900 feet had to be surmounted in
five miles, an output of energy sufficient
te haul train $50 miles.
In reply to a question by III. Weinstock,
MI. Curtis said that the Interstate CON-
merce Commission had reported the aver
age cost OF hauling a carload of fruit from
San Francisco to Chicago as from nina
mills to one cent per ton per mile. That
brought the cos. of hauling a carload of
fruit to Chicago to $24o.
Mr.. Curtis said that the railroad COM
pany had paid in taxes for few years
past $S,000.0 900, which is more than the
fruit-gro wers have paid for shipping their
fruit out of the ST te. The rates of the
Southern Pacific Company are now less
than half of what they were twenty years
ago, while the volume of tonnage per mile
of road has increased but 10 per cent

UNKNOWN CURRENTS.
The Cause of the Wreck of the
Steamer Crown of England.

SANTA MONICA, Nov. 21.-The investi-
CATION of the loss of the Crown of England
was concluded here Today. The only tes-
timony introduced was the deposition OF
Second Officer Parsons of the steamer Co
roma, showing the existence of a strong
northern current during the first week of
November. especially in the neighborhood
of the Channel Islands. The court then
made finding, setting forth the facts /
the size. build and loss of the steamer and
generating Captain Hamilton from all
blame, declaring the disaster due to the
existence of strong. erratic and unknown
currents; that fog rendered it necessary to
guide the course on reckonngs only and
that the boat was handled in seamanlike
manner. The findings conclude with a
recommendation TO Boards of Trade to
note the existence of the uncharted cur
rents along this coast, especially in the
ghborhood of the Channel Islands
