NATTER OF TRANSFERS

Commissioners Attorney Thomas has
filed an opinion with the Commissioners,
touching an inquiry of Extension Com
missioner James Tanner, as to whether or
not the Commissioners of the District have
the power TO regnIa tie the transfer system
IN vogue between the several street rail
ways, and says: what Mr. Tauner de-
sires is that the practice OF tle Georgeto wn
and Teuailytown Railroad Company in re-
quiring its passengers 70 leave the cars
and go into the power house To get tickets
be discontinued. Jurisdiction to enforce
the requirements Of the statute in respect TO
the sale OF coupon tickets by this railroad
has been conferred upon the Supreme Court
of the District The Commissioners are
powerless 10 correct the abuse of which Mr..
Tanner complains. He should bring the
matter to the attention of the Supreme
Court
The system oftransfers to which reference
is made is between the Georgetown and
Tenallytown and the Metropolitan rail ways,
under which four tickets are sold for 20
cents, good for a continuous ride over
| both lines. Mr.. Tanner objects TO the con-
| dition that forbids the conductors from
selling the tickets or even bringing them

When the Prohibitonists of Mississ

from any other standpoint, wonders,
There are seyenty-tive counties in
the State, and until the last very few
years saloons and grog shops OF high
and low degree were in full blast in
most Of them, but one county after
another has arrayed itself on the side
Of the cold water advocates, until in
1894 only fourteen counties remained
friendly to whisky.
The counties wherein the saloons
were in operation last year and the
amount each paid into the State
treasury were: Adams, $4,000; Gre

During the last few months local
options have been held in several OF
the above named counties, about half
of them, and in most, il not quite,
every instance, the result has been in
favor of prohibition.
While in 1891 the handsome sum of
sl07, 800 was paid into the State treas
ury by the saloon men OF the above
named fourteen counties, that sum
was 500, 800 less than the State re.
ceived from this source In 1893. The
reduction along the line for 1905 will
be still more glariiIg.

TEXAS LAW F0R TEXANS.
How Judge Culbers0n Once Won u taSc
that Seemed Hopeless.

Washington Post
Congressman Dave Culberson, as
he Is Familiarity known in Texas from
the Rio Grande to the Red river, is
one of the most entertaining members
of the House. He is always ready with
witty reply to any law or political
question propounded to him by his
associates, an1 is the subject OF more
stories than any member Of Congress
except Thomas b. Reed.
in 1860, just after Lincoln had
been elected President said an old
friend of Judge Culberson the other
day, there was a neighborhOod quar-
rel between two citizens in Upshur
county, Tex. The Southern question
was at fever heat, and the feeling was
very strong on both sides. Each side
Of the case, of course, was anxious to
get the verdict. The defendant went
to Jefferson and engaged Culberson,
who was then rising to distinction as
bright lawyer Dawes client didn't
have any case. the evidence being all
against him; but true to his trust, as
he always is, Culberson determined to
make the best fight he could for him.
When the trial came Oft it turned out
that the other fellow had employed a
smart young saddlelag lawyer from
Maryland, lust located in Texas.
"Culberson had the opening speech,
and made a good defense for his client
under the circumstances. When the
Marylander replied in behalf of his
client, he produced vast array Of
authorities, from which lie read in
support of his case. When the young
man closed, Culberson picked up one
of the books, from which the oppos-
ing counsel had been reading and
said:
"'If your Honor please, this young
brother of thesprofession has been
reading for your instruction Massa-
chusetts law. This book is printed in
Boston. 1t is Greenleaf on Evidence

| ing you genuine Texas law, made by

What's that?' asked the Judge
sharply, been imposing on the court
with Yankee law?
"Yes, sir, your Honor, said Cul.
berson, 'he has been reading from
this book, which was printed In Bos-
ton, Mass
"'Pass it over this way said the
surprised court, looking at the fly leaf.
Then he said:
"Mr. Culherson, the court finds
that you are correct. 1t is a Boston
print, and we don't want any of il
here. No abolition law for Upshul
county, and the court will be----il
we will have it,
ITO the supreme disgust of the
young lawyer the Court continued as
follows: Sir, upon the evidence of the
case | dismiss the suit against Dave
Culberson's friend and fine the plain
tiff 81 aud costs and his lawyer S. fol
} contempt of court. Now, young man
let that serve as ii warning to you how
} you try to practice abolition law il
this State"
"Culberson's client set up the din
/. ner, and the young Maryland lawyci
was one of the first men to enlist II
the war. He wanted to whip Massa
chusetts for the loss of his first case.
