But the Food Must Be DiseSted.

There is no way to get strong without
food. Food is the strength maker.
Just enough food. properly digested,

indigestion. So to keep strong, look after

Jacksonville Citizen: settlement was

was rendered last week for the plaintiff
for Sl,l damages. The charge against the
defendant railroad Was that II, through
its officers had blaCklisted the complain
ant after ne had left its employment, and
had thereby damaged him in reputation
10 such an extent that he was unable 70
obtain employment with any other rail-
road in Florida. He brought suit in the
Inlted states court being hinlselI cit
izen Of the state Of Georgia. to recover
$lO'V00 damages for this injury, with the
result that he was awarded the amount
above stated. The defendant asked for
the bill of the costs OF the case Tuesday
and made arrangements for a final settle
ment in accordance with the decision OF
the jury. The case will go on record as
being a precedent in the legal annals Of
this country. But one similar case has
been brought before any branch OF the
United States courts previously, and that
was the one brought by Eugene V. Debs
against a railroad corporation, to recover
damages for similar injury. That case
was thrown out OF the courts on the
ground of insufficient evidence to sub
stantiate the charges made. This action
places the present case without prece-
dent, in that a suit has been brought
against a railroad corporation, damages
have been recovered and no appeal has
been taken, and the money
awarded has been paid over
to the plaintiff. The case against
r. 7. Gof, personally, for damages aris-
ing from the same offense. was dismissed
on the settlement of the award by the de-
PENDANT.

TIPS TO WATERS.
In France the Proprietor Gets the
Lions share of Them.
From the London Telegraph.

From the London Telegraph.
Tips to walters are onerous taxes on
the Partisan, but nobody who pays them
during visits to cafes and restaurants
seems to grumble at the inexorable, if I'M
written law which has established such
imposts On the other hand, the walters
protest that they do not receive suAi-
cient gratuities, and they threaten to
strike en- masse during the winter If their
employers are not less exacting. 1t is
the employer, in fact, who chiefly bene-
fits by the tip system, for he not only
pays the waiter nothing, but receives
substantial bonus from the man to whom
he gives the job of serving customers.
The lot of the average waiter is by no
means happy one. He has to spread
a considerable sum on his personal adorn-
ment. He must have decent clawham-
mer, with proper appurtenances He
linen. He has to be at his post at $3.50
a. m, and cannot leave 1t until nearly
the long hours of his duty he has to be
almost perpetually on the move, and it
is no wonder If a few years of such
life turn a man into living phantom,
unless he happens to have one of those
adamantine constitutions which triumph
over all toll, suffering and privation.
AS a return for his services the waiter
is tolerably well fed bf his patron or en-
ployer, but he receives, as has been said
no coin from this source. On the con-
trary, when beginning work in the morn
ing, he pays over in a cafe restaurant l05
francs for 100 francs worth of checks or
ivory counters. Next he has to pay, in
addition TO this four pounds and more
in English money, half a crown weekly
for sweeping, and for the note paper al
lowed to the customers. At each dinner
he pays 10 confines to the man in uni
form or boy in buttons, also in attend
ance on customers. On the whole the
garcon de cafe. even In a flrst-class boule-
ward establishment, calculates that even
If he receives 10 oentimes from each per-
son whom he has served during the day

The Object Of the Read.
F. p. Blair, the protector of the
new lower or Crescent bridge, now
in course of construction, and
who is closely identified with the
proposed new railroad enterprise. in
speaking of the projected road. said
that there were q number of outside
capitalists that were interested in it.
He sisted that there were capitalists
of both St. Paul and St. Louis in it
with him and that it was bona fide.
He was non-committal as far as the
objects are concerned, but it is be-
lieved to be to construct at once q
line from Rock Island to Port Byron
Junction and thus give to the Bridge
& Terminal company a feeder of its
own from the Junction, where the
Rock Island. Burlington aud Milwau-
kee converge. From the Junction
the Rock Island and Burlington come
on into Rock leland on their own
tracks, but the c.. NJ. & St. Paul en-.
tiers this city on the c., K. g. p.
tracks Hence the theory may be
advanced that if an Independent line
is to be built, the Milwaukee may be
back CT it, although it may be the
Northwestern, and still it may be
purely and independently the Bridge
& Terminal eompany's enterprise.
Mr.. Crubaugh said this morning
that the new railway project was moi

PURELY ONE OF PRIDE
The Credit for tho Bsstian Disclosures
aad' the Supervlsors.

The Credit for tho Bsatian Disclosures
| aad'the SUPERVISOR.
| The ARGUS has never felt either
the disposition or necessity to seek
at the hands of any public body rec
ognition of its efforts in behalf of an
undertaking having for it's object the
public good. THE ARGUS prefers in
all things to be known and to be
judged by its works. 1t is on this
account that the pointed action OF
the board of supervisors, at two diff
ferent instances recently in connec-
tionswith the Bastian case, struck it
more in an amusing light than as an
occasion for resentment. 1t will be
remem bered that at the first meeting
of the new board a resolution was
adopted thanking ex-County Treas
urer Thomas Campbell for conduct
ing the investigation of the Bastian
premises, even in the face Of what
threatened to be mob vengeance.
There was nothing particularly
thought of this resolution, as Mr..
Campbell was unusually persistent
aud deserved credit for the part
he took, as far as Kuschmann was
concerned. but it did not suit the
sheriff's forces, who were highly in
dignant, and at the next meeting 4
| supplementary resolution was
adopted, thanking the sheriff, his as
sociates and the states attorney and
all others for the part they had taken
in the disclosures. 1t is an incident
which developed in connection with
this latter resolution that occasions
this reference, for it would under no
other circumstances have been made,
and the fact that it is belated as it
is, is due to the fact that the Incl
dent has Just, by a mere accident.
come to the ears of The ARGUS. 1t
was after the second resolution had
been read at the second session that
supervisor rose and asked for sec
ond reading. The suggestion being
complied with the supervisor moved
that THE ARGUS. be included in the
recognition made by the board, but
the resolution was not adopted, aud
the funny part of it is that some of
the supervisors afterward explained
that the reason The ARGUS was left
out was that it might offend the
Union, if the other paper was so COM
plimented.
AS far as THE ARGUS is concerned
it has no feeling in the matter. 1t
never expected any recognition from
the board. and the first intimation
that it has received of the DISPOSE
ton to mention it came to late last
week. Furthermore, it would not
have ventured to make this refer
ence to the incident if it believed
there was any possibility of it being
taken as q bid for favor now, which
of course under the present circum-
stances could only be regarded as a
mild insult, to say the least.
As to the disclosures at the
Bastian farm the public is IA
miliar with THE ARGUS rec.
ord. The kuschmann revelations,
in which it did its part. were very
small in connection with the Lau-
derbach disclosures, which were
due absolutely to its investiga-
tions, and it was only upon the
strength of facts it presented, and
the repeated urging made by it, that
the search of the premises, resulting
in the startling discovery. was made
There is no boast about this-it is
truth, and truth, though crushed to
earth, must rise arain.
