her case, as the local authorities do
not feel that they have any right to act

upper court in regard to the jurisdic-
ton OF county officials having sustained
the position formerly taken by Sheriff
Mclaughlin that he had no right to
hct in such cases. Major Carter Is now

probably be taken tomorrow.
The woman, whose name is Rivet,

A dispatch from O.e seland states tn.


A dispatch from C.e ,eland states that
5000 Christian Endeavorers prayed
unitedly for CGi. IngcrsOll's conversion

are somewhat startling. Ordinarily 1t
Is assumed that the prayer OF one right.

should the EndeavOr organization settle
upon 5000 righteous persons to unite
In prayer for the Colonel to confess TO

average sinner: II this he the theory

his heart harder than ever. and the
probabilities are that he will undertake
to discuss 1t with the EndeavOr Society
In his peculiar style Of logic. So the

that they have IN easy task before them

vOrers may succeed In their purpose, for
the COlOnel's brilliant qualities enlist

make deep impression on hosts of bad
men, but they will have uphill work
before them. But even II they should
fail they will have no reason to COM

esting time with the gallant Colonel,

The regret created by the announce.

Is rcgrc, for the loss of brilliant man
of letters. During his remarkably nc.
tive working career Dumas was extra.
ordinarily prolific In evolving plots AMI
stories for the stage and In writing dia-
lOgue of the most witty and pointed
Kind. There are comparatively few
works In this mass Of literary produc-
ton which are not characterized By
great talent. The personagcs In the
plays. II not probable. are animated and
entertaining. Often they have been
lifellke The conversation In these
works has been with but few cXcep.
tons the most polished and wittily
cOntrlved Of any In modern drama. Yet
has there been something lacking. AMI
those who ascrlbe Dumas weakness to
his lack of moral perception are not
very far at fault. 1t Is well enough to
raise the shibbOleth Of cart for arts

do not have anything to do with one
another. Technically they do not. 1t

The amount of money invested In rail-
roads In the United States Is UP In the
billions. According to Poors Directory
of Railway officials over $0.SOO.OOO.-
900 has been expended here In the con.
struction of steam roads. This does
not include maintenance. That the
latter would add many billions more Is
shown by the recently published re-
port OF the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission. The annual expenditure for
equipment and other operating charges
for several years has averaged over
SIGO.WO.OOO. Poor's report says that
the earnings OF American railroads for
1S95.G will exceed 81. 2OO. 100000. fully

capitalized at nearly Sj.OO0.OOO.OOO and
are bonded for nearly as much more.
These figures apply only to steam roads.
Something like $0OO,OOO,OUO has been
invested In street railways. operated
FOR the most part with electricity. In
year or two more the total for this
class OF Investments will have reached
the billion dollar mark. The Inc be.

sion reports an increase Of $a1 a mile IN
the average net earnings of all railroa ds
In 1895 as compared with the average
net earnings for 1894. The gain shown
Is considerable, but 1t does not fairly
represent the actual gain Of the year.
The fiscal year for which the report Is
made closed at time when the busl.
ness revival was just beginning. The
gain for the last five months has been
continuous. Eighty.one roads which,
reported gross earnings for the third

gain Of nearly 3 per cent over the same
period In 1904. while the Interstate

crease Of $13 mile In gross earnings
