Railroad rleke,s.

The recent Supreme Court de.
cisiou 10 the case Of Mr.. Powell
vs.. the Southern Pacific Railroad
is Of interest to local ticket
agents. Mrs. Powell purchased
a ticket from Houston to New
Orleans, for which she paid full
tariff rates. She did not have oc.
caslon TO use the ticket i'm.
mediately, but one month after
the date of purchase she boarded
a train and presented it for trans.
portation, but the conductor pro.
nounced it void, called the attent.
ion of the holder to the fact that
the contract printed ON the face
of the first coupon explicitly
stated that the ticket could be
used only on the date of sale or
the day preceding the date. She
was refused transportation on the
ticket and brought suit to re.
cover damages. The Court de.
cided that when the full tariff
rate Of 8 cents per mile was paid
for a ticket it was good until
used, no matter when presented,
and awarded heplaintitfd damages
in the sum of 81, 700.
Another important decision
rendered recently by the Courts
was that in which damages we're
awarded to the holder of an ans
nual pass who had been injured
in a collision. The Company's.
lawyer advanced the argument
that inasmuch as the pass was in
the nature of a gratuity there
could be no claim for damages
legally made, and he called the
attention of the Court to the
agreement on the back Of the
pass. signed by the holder, which
read as follows:
"The persons accepting this
ticket assumes all risk or acct
dent and expressly agrees that
the Company shall not be liable
under any circumstances. wheth.

otherwise, for any injury to the

The coart ruled however, Ia
this case that it was against the
law to issue any pass unless for
value received. that accordingly
the pass was issued for con-
sideration of some kind. and the
plaintiff was awarded damages.

4 Query AasUered

From American Journal OF Education, ]
I have an answer will serve all men.
Shake'qeare.
Why teach reading, writing.
arithmetic, geography, history,
grammar and literature in our
common schools
Were the granting OF a certifi-
cate to teach to depend on an
answer 70 this question, many
teachers might be puzzled.
To briefly answer this question
is the object of this article. The
writer has never seen DR.. Harris
Correlation of Studies in Ele-
mentary Education" but acknowl-
edges his indebtedness to DR..
Harris articles read years ago
suggested thoughts in these an
swers
|. Reading opens the door to
all recorded knowledge.
?. Writing enables US to pre-.
serve knowledge already record,
ed. and to record new knowledge.
3. Arithmetic as taught in the
public schools embraces portions
of arithmetic proper of geometry;
the nrst includes calculations into
which forms of time enter, as
percentage, interest, allegation,
etc.; the second into which forms
of space enter. Arithmetic is of
practical value in the application
of it's principles to the actual
wants of life.
4. Geography is taught because
it shows the earth as an organ
ism built up for the home of man
and the interrelation of the ma.
tons with each other, and the
solidarity of the human family.
History tells what the nations
have done because they willed to
do it. 1t presents the combined
results of the freedom of the will
as a self-directive power. 1t is
a spectacle of the tribe will, the
town will. the city will, the State
will, the national will
). Grammar is taught because
it embraces language in, all ITS
phases. The inner workings of
the human mind are known to
others only as expressed and re-
corded in language. Correct
language is the expression of
correct thinking. and correct
language is grammatical langu-
age. Grammar. as frequently
taught, deadens mental opera
tions instead of being a mental
stimulation for the means of com
munication.
6. Literature, because it is
the expression of the feelings,
the hatreds, the longings and
aspirations of the people of the
world. JAMES N. DAVID.

SMUGGLING IN CHINAMEN.
Arrest of One of the GnnE-HOvv til
Work Is Accomplished.

Arrest of One of the GnnE-HOw the
Work Is Accomplished.
The chief of the secret service division Is
informed of the arrest of VIM. c. Casey of
Altoona, Pa, in New York city Friday
evenirs. Casey is said to be one Of a band
of smugglers who have been very success
full in taking Cinnamon across the border
into New York and Vermont. The Chinese
companies. of which there are several in
New York, and three or four in Boston,
take the Cinnamon as far as the Canadian
border. They contract with their friends
to do this. but there their contract ends.
and the Cinnamon must find their own way
of getting into the states.
Many persons living in the small towns
along the Canadian border it is said, make
large sums by guiding the arrivals over the
line and to the nearest city. The charge is
generally S125 to $50 each. and parties of
eight and ten are frequently taken across
at night and cessfully started on their
journey toward New York or Boston, where
most of the Cinnamon smuggled in the east
eventually settle.
In Vermont the towns of Richford and
Burleston and the cities Of st. Adams and
Burlington are looked upon as landing sta
tions for the smuggled Cinnamon. and when
the treasury agents at these points become
too watchful a change Is made, and Rouse $
Point and Plattsburg are chosen as the
most available. When Plattsburg Is chosen
the Cinnamon are taken in boats twenty
five miles down Lake Champlain and are
landed at some out of the way point. Not
infrequently the boats containing the Chi
namen meet with disaster, and the loss of
many Cinnamon has been recorded while
making the voyage .,nr...
The Chinese companies which contract to
bring the natives from China to Canada
generally land the men either at St. John
or at Montreal. and they are then taken in
hand by the smugglers, who are always on
the lookout. Arrests for the offense are
frequent, and in the winter of 1894 a half
dozen special treasury agents visited Mott.
Pel and Doyers streets. New York, and
made wholesale arrests of Cinnamon who
were engaged in the business of smuggling
their countrymen into this country through h
agents who were at the border. 1t is. al
most impossible for the treasury agents to
properly patrol the Canadian border as the
distances are great and, the number of
agents comparatively small. Nobody is
better informed of the movements of the
treasury agents than the smuggfers them
selves, who, when they find that one point
on the border Is protected, hasten to anoth-
er and distant point. where the smuggling
goes on with but slight interruption.

Expressions of satisfaction having been
made by the Italian government at the
steps taken by the Colorado authorities for
the apprehension Of the murderers of the
Italians at Walsenberg. the diplomatic in
cident occasioned thereby is regarded here
as closed for the present at least. That
satisfaction exists is shown by the telegram
that was sent by Assistant Secretary Of
State Uhl to Gov. Mcintyre of Colorado. In
this telegram Mr.. Uhl set forth the express
sion Of appreciation manifested on the part
of Baron Fava. the Italian ambassador
here. and of his government and of the
federal government, at the energetic eff
forts made by the executive of Colorado to
arrest the guilty parties. The assistant
secretary received reply from Gov. Nc
Intyre yesterday. in which that official
said that the district attorney assured him
Che governor) that he would use every
means to secure the arrest and conviction
of those who were guilty. The governor
also said that he had issued a proclama ton
offering reward of $1,000 (the limit under
the statutes of the state) for the apprehcn-
sion and conviction of the guilty parties.

LATE SPORTING NEWS
KILRAIN's GOOD FORM.
He Makes 1t n Draw in Eight Rounds
With O'DOnnell,


Steve O'Donnell, the Australian heavy
weight, was given chance last night at
Boston to display his form, and the showing
he made against Jake kilrain has undoubt-
edly sealed his fate in this country, at least
regarding his aspirations to the champion
ship Although he had nearly everything
in his favor he failed lamentably to make
even good showing. The men boxed
eight rounds, and at the end of the contest
it was declared a draw by Patsey Shep-
pard, who acted as referee.
John L. Sullivan, who was an interested
spectator, clasped hands with Kilrain in
apparent congratulation, and swinging his
arms, showed the latter how the fight might
have been won.
He was ready, he declared. to challenge
the winner if the referee had only named
one. The eX-champion was finally led off
by his friends, and the scene, which had
caused the widest excitement, ended.
In the preliminary bouts Billy Hill Of
Washington, DC. "Muldcon's Plckaninny,'
and Sam Tompkins of Astoria, N. Y,
fought at 137 pounds. In the first round
the Pickaninny did some terrific in-fighting
and aoored Tompkins twice. Tompkins
went to his corner before the call of time
and the seconds jumped into the ring.
Tompkins improved somewhat until the
fifth round, when the colored boy knocked
him out with right uppercut. Nick Long
