4 SURPRIsING DECISION.

A recent decision by the Supreme court of California places the responsi- bility for the avoidance of accidents by street car collisions upon the pedestrian or the rider rather than upon the street railroad company or it's employees, thus taking a position directly opposite to that held recently by New York court
 The case passed upon was a suit to recover for the killing of a bicyclist. The wheelman was riding on the north bound track of street railroad, and turned on to the southbound track to avoid collision with a car that was ap- preaching. It happened that a car was overtaking him as he passed on to the southbound track, but he did not ob- serve it or hear the motorman's signal, and he was struck and killed A jury gave his widow verdict of $4000, but the Supreme court reversed this judg- ment on the ground that the bicyclist and not the railroad company was re- sponsible. This is practical extension to the street railroads of the rule ap- piled to the steam railroads, and which requires a person to stop, look, and listen before venturing to cross the track. It had heretofore been supposed in California that on public highway the burden of responsibility was upon the railroad company, which had been allowed valuable privileges on the streets Three of the seven California judges dissented from the decision.

Is Maceo dead? If he is the Cuban rebellion has received the worst blow that it has had for many day. If he isn't perhaps the Spanish army has re- ceived a bad blow, or will receive one soon. The story of Maceo's death isn't yet conclusive. It is that there was found among the dead rebels at Punta Brava the body of a well dressed man, on which there were documents which was the son of Maximo Gomez. Among the papers found was one on which, written with lead pencil, was a con- fession that the writer had committed suicide rather than abandon the body of Antonio Maceo. The war diary of Maceo was also found. In it there is an entry which says the rebels cross ed the trocha on December 4. It is concluded from these circumstances that Maceo was killed in the engage ment with Major Cirujeda's command. 
 Although the report that Maceo is dead seems to be believed by the Duke of Tetuan, the Spanish minister of for eign affairs, it is not credited at the Gu ban headquarters in New York city. Tomas Estrada Palma said that while the reports received by the press might prove correct, there was every reason to doubt them We of course have heard nothing from Cuba relating to the alleged killing of General Maceo, and if it is a fact the news would be slow in reaching us" added MT. Palma. Therefore all We can do now is the orize. Our first hope that the rumor is false is based on the fact that this is the seventh time the Spaniards have had him killed. Then again it is d we'll known fact that whenever a prominent Cuban is slain by the Spaniards in bat tie his body is taken to Havana This apparently has not been done, accord ing to the reports thus far received here Furthermore, the body has not

Skirt, yoke and vest were cream col ored glace taffeta, the remainder of the bodice being palm green velvet. The bodice had jaunty ripple basque, faced with the taffeta and high stock collar ornamented with a cream lace ruching. A fall of lace divided square yoke and vest, and was headed by a row of iridescent beads. a similar row edging the collar Over the shoulders were bretelles of cream satin ribbon, rosettes of the same were put on the lace frill, more rosettes appeared in the waist and long ends and loops fell from there.

HE WANTS HyN MONEY BACK.

Is 1t wicked to swindle people at church fairs? No, because if it were good people wouldn't do it. And, more- over people who go to church fairs go there to be swindled and it is there fore all right to "do them" for the bene- fit of "the cause" But while it is morally all right to swindle people at church fairs there may be a question about the legality of the performance. At any rate a man in Passaic, New Jersey, thinks there is, and he has asked 6 court to tell him about it. It seems that he took chance in Q church lottery and when it didn't turn out to suit him he made up his mind that he had been buncoed and has brought suit to recover the price of his ticket.
 It will be interesting to see how this suit pans out. It may be that the court will tell the Passaic man that as he was willing participant in the pious bunco game it will be impossible for him to recover his money by legal pro- cess. Then he will have no remedy ex- cept an appeal to the managers of the game, who will probably pay no at tention to him, except to tell him that 1t is not customary to give money back after it has been invested in church lottery. And if he Is a church member and persists in his demand perhaps they will kick him out of the church.

 Some of the Cubans at Washington seem to think that the story is only intended to delay action by congress, and they predict that this country and Spain will soon learn that Maceo is very much alive, He has certainly made Spain understand that he was alive.

There is great distress in the British West Indies because the foreign sugar bounty system threatens the absolute extinction of their sugar industry. The British free traders have insisted that the continental countries would soon get tired of paying bounties to give England cheap sugar, but facts do not justify their predictions. Those people are averse to the agitation of this sub ject because they fear that the protec- tion party in England will use the de- cay of the colonial sugar industry as first step toward a general restoration of protection. The imposition of duty of $10 a ton on all foreign sugar by England has been suggested as meth do for restoring prosperity to the West India planters. Those who are seeking some effective remedy fear that if the West Indian industry should be de- stroyed the British consumer would find himself in the hands of a conti- mental combine that would fix prices to suit itself.

The Chicago Tribune makes the curi- bus proposition to suspend the repre- sentation of the State of Nevada in congress. The equity of the action is more apparent than its legal possibili- ty. The precedent cited for it is the suspension of the rights of the southern States in this respect during the War of the Rebellion. The Chicago Tribune rests the argument for such action now pn the incompetence of Nevada in point of population for statehood It would have no State allowed to act in legisla- tion in the Union that had not suffi- cient population to entitle it to one member of congress under the ratio of representation in existence, and inti- mates that Wyoming may be included in the same class with Nevada.

In the case of man charged in a New York court the other day with be- ing a common drunkard it was shown that he had but $7, 900 left of a fortune of S300000 left him a year or so ago. His fortune was the breaking of a bright career as he was a keen student and was in possession of a good prac- tice when the money came to him. Of late he has been spending $50 day for liquor and the amusement of the crowd of blood-suckers he had gather hd about him. He had been known to sign checks in blank and give them to fhe lowest of his associates, and finally a friend interfered and had him com- mitted to the workhouse.

the blush Of shame to the cheeks Of
thousands of honest Englishmen. The
poet l%aureate's reply is:
Comradc, to whorr / stretched a comrades
hand,
Ere fame found hers to greet You, and whom
still,
Right bravcly singing up the sacred hill,
watch from where its cloudlcss peaks expand,
Think not that you my love now less command,
If to you, willful, l oppose my viii.
And pray you not untune sweet voice to
shrill
In harsh upbraidings of the mother land.
To mock her is to soil oneself with shame,
Nor is the rhyme yet written that can mar
The scroll emblaaoncd with her fadeless fame.
"Sloping to twilight" Blinded that you are,
Look, in her hand shines freedoms sword
atlame,
And on her forehead CLOVIS the morning star
But she, not you, nor any child of song,
Must sound the hour the fricndless to he.

Shall ghouls assail and. not one glaive de-

But Gods great patience never comes to end,
And, 10y long suffering, vengeance grows more
strong,
So from unreasonable chidings cease,
Impious to her who bears within her breast
Walls from the east and clamors from the
west.
Nay, should the clamor and the walls increase,
Firm in the faith she knoweth what is best.
Keep you tonight the festival Of peace.
