pier, six miles from Traverse City, in a
yawl with IS bushels of potatoes for

from the boys since. The yawl was
not strong, and it is feared the whole
crew was lost in the heavy sea on
Lake Michigan. All were unaccus-

.JY LAST.

This afternoon there is to be a meet ing of the board of finance, and this meeting is to be held for the express purpose of considering" the gorgeous advertising bills. At several meetings of the board, though some of the mem- bers have been present, all have not been, so the bills could not be consid- cred. But it is believed that the bills will be talked about this afternoon, even if all the financiers are not pres ent. What the talk will result in mo- body knows, but it is to be hoped that it will result in decisive and business like action. Those bills can either be thrown out entirely, paid in full, or paid in part. The board of finance ought to be equal to the task of decid- ing which course to take. We hope there is nothing in the rumor that the board is going to turn the whole mat ter back into the court of common council. It has been there enough, and more than enough. We believe the people would prefer to see it go into a court of justice, if there is to be any more court about it. The board of finance should do what seems to it to be the right thing and not butter any | more.

ALCOHOL IN MEDICINE,

Temperance is booming in Mary land, on account of the action of the faculty of the Baltimore University School of Medicine in deciding to con- duct the hospital connected with the institution upon strictly temperance lines, disregarding entirely the use of treatment of patients. Dr. II. H. Bied- Ter of the faculty says that this action was taken after careful consideration, it being the opinion of the members of the faculty that the use of intoxicating stimulants resulted in more harm than good T believe" said Dr. Biedler, that many drunkards have been caus- ed by physician in the first instance prescribing liquor to patients, and I have yet to have brought to my atten- ton a victim of the morphine or chloral habit whose misfortune has not begun with the taking of the drugs for medi- cinal purposes. There are many good substitutes for alcoholic intoxicants, and many which are quite as valuable as stimulants. Such things as carbor- ate of ammonia, spirits of ammonia, strychnia, digitalis and nitro-glycerine are now being used in our hospitals in- stead of the more dangerous forms of alcohol, and with good results. The ex- pertinent has now had the test of sev- eral weeks, and the faculty is much pleased with the success of it's move ment.'
 This will encourage the foes of alco- hol everywhere. They have long and stoutly asserted that alcohol in medi- cine could be safely dispensed with.

1MPoRTANT RAILRoAD MATTER

Railroad managers and employees have a special interest in the meeting of the Interstate Commerce commits sion which is to be held in Washington the latter part of this week. There will come before the commission the question of the extension of the time in which the railroads of the country en- gagged in interstate commerce must equip their trains with train-brake sys- tems and automatic couplers. The act compelling the railroads to so equip their trains was passed in the closing hours of the Harrison administration after a protracted and bitter contest
 The act was approved March ?, 1893, and gave the railroads about five years, or until January l, 1898, to comply with
The daily morning journal and courier., 1897-10-11

the law. The same act provided that the railroads should equip their cars with hand rails and drawbars betore July l, 1895. The commission is receiV- ing petitions asking for an extension Of time in which the other sections of the act providing for automatic couplers and train brakes shall go into effect, and before January 1 they must decide this important question. The railroads ask from one to ten years longer than the law provides. The last reports of the railroads made to the commission upon their equipment, April 1, 1896, show that the passenger trains were almost entirely equipped as required by law, but that only about one-third of the freight trains and cars had been provided with the proper safety appli- ances The last annual report of the commission shows that 1,S11 railroad employees were killed during the year and 25,696 injured, a decrease of twelve in the number of killed and 2,274 in the number of injured, as compared with the previous year. Should the commits sion decide not to grant an extension the railroads whose cars are not equip ped January i, 1898, will be liable to a fine of $100 for each and every offense against the act. By the terms of the law any employe injured by any loco- motive, car or train in use contrary to it's provision shall not be deemed to have assumed the risk occasioned thereby, although continuing in the en- ployment of the road after the unlawful ue of such locomotive, car or train has been brought to his knowledge.

CNRIOuS GdSE.

What will seem to the lay mind a queer application of law has been made in New York. It had to do with the rules of a fashionable boarding school The parents of a. girl who was at the school live out of the city. They tele- graphed her that they were coming to the city. She did not visit them as they had expected, and on calling at the school they found the telegram had never been delivered to her. They were told that telegrams were never delivered to the pupils and that the teacher exer- cised her discretion in imparting their contents even when they came from such an unobjectionable source as the parents. The girl was promptly taken away from the school in spite of the fact that she had been sent there for the term. She had been there but a short time, and when the bill for a years tuition was presented, her father refused to pay it. The teacher sued him, and it was held that she had the
 right to conduct the school just as her
 own rules stipulated. The suppression | of the telegram was not looked upon
 as sufficient reason for taking the girl
 away.
 Rules are rules, and perhaps the man.
 ager of the boarding school has had such an experience that she is suspi- cious of telegrams, even when they purport to come from the parents of
 her charges. And perhaps when the
 girl became 8 "boarder' there was a
 prettystrong agreement that she should i be subject to the rules of the school. | But on the face of it the performance seems more legal than just.

bow with long ends was placed at the back of the neck. A deep satin ruft1e edged the bottom of the cape's lining.
 The blight that affects the fashiona- bleness of conventional capes of cloth does not touch capes of fur, which are in good variety. It is pleasant to note that grebe is to be worn again, for it is such becoming combination with darker furs, and if only you protect it from being rubbed it will wear well. Fur coats are made reefer fashion, box front, tight fitting and of course in Rus sian blouse form. This last is the lat est but she who bought herself swag ger box front last season at an away down figure need not feel bad. She could not have secured a blouse at the same figure this season, and the box will have cost more now than it did then.
 Hussar effects are seen among the cloth jackets; they were in last season and now are in again. Astrakan con- bined with frogging and braiding on black smooth faced cloth, or on dark red, green or blue, is again stylish only such garments must be strictly frst-class as to build, or they are mere ly common.

Capes are somewhat below par, though in the jackets that have sue ceeded them there are few radical changes. A cape to be accepted must be distinctly novel, and for that reason the one shown herewith was entirely safe.

The yoke was made in the same manner, except that it had no ruff1es;

The Chicago in- vestigator further reports: "He told me of one farmer named Bauer who had eccentric ideas of the franchise. Bauer said he was accustomed for a long time always to vote mo- but re- gently he had invariably voted yes and since then he had had much better luck with his cattle.''
