only fourteen, and OF them 4 good many came
back later. For the four years preceding 1894
The average OF dismissals had been nineteen,
and in ls92 and 1893 respectively thirteen and
eleven. Tho Roosevelt Board imposed fines
amounting TO S29. 1928 in 1896. which was
just about equal to the fines OF 1888 and 1894
added together.

CAN KEEP AFTER cAxroN1's MONEY
With the Compliments or Justice Rumsey TO
Ella Forster, the Plaintiff.

A decision Of the lower court that Ella Forster
cannot continue against the executor OF Saliva
tore Cantoni an action she brought against Can.
toni for $15. 1000 for seven years services AS his
housekeeper has been reversed by the Appellate
Division OF the Supreme Court, which holds that
she can proceed against the executor. She can
not. however. proceed with her action to recover
100000 because OF alleged promises OF Cantoni
to provide for her at the rate of So a year
and marry her IL she would leave her husband
and take up with him.
The plaintiff was q married woman with three
daughters when the alleged agreement with
Cantoni was made. In furtherance OF the agree
ment. she says that Cantoni got q divorce for
her. and they lived together until 1892. when
they separated and he cut off the allowance OF
5000 n year which he had been giving her.
Justice Rumsey In dissenting from the opinion
Of the court, which is written By Justice 1ngra-
ham. believes the whole proceeding. with its
separate causes OF action. must fall or stand to-
gether as against the executor, ana tina, the
whole should fall. He says also:
III there Is a discretion in the Court, I do not
think that 1t Is proper TO exercise such discre-
ton in favor OF a confessed adulfercss so as to
enable her TO recover wages OF her sin out of the
pockets OF the widow and children OF her para-
mour. although she alleges that she acted MS his
housekeeper at the time she was living with
him as his mistress"

The Three Railroads or Ch,na.
From the Chicago Record

At present there are only three railways In
China. Ono runs about seventy miles from
Tien-Tsin TO the coal mines mt Shanghai Huan,
on the Yellow Sea near tho end OF the great
wall; another, about eighteen miles long, runs
from the iron mines to HankOw, and the third
is under construction, and nearly completed, be
tween Ticn.Tsin and Pekin. Tho first rail
way built in China was from Shanghai to The
made necessary by the exis'o Zee Of II bar at the
mouth of the Sang-Tse River, which Ircyented
vessels OF deep draught from entering, Shang'
hal harbor, and required them to discharge
their cargOes into lighters. which were lowed
up to the city at an expense greater than the
cost of transporting freight from London or
New York. No charter WAS granted, no per
mission WAS asked, but an English, firm simply
built the road and hauled the freight REGARDLESS
OF the Government. The authorities were APP
peaicd TO to tear up the track, because The m,
movement OF the fung;shay, the spirits OF the
dead, who are supposed, to be continually pass
inV through tho air. md exercise IA great infu-
cnce over tho affairs OF tho living. The track
was torn up for this reason. The rails ana roll
ing stock were removed 10 Formosa. where they
were attended to construct u track from the
surar plantations 10 the hnrbor, but the plan
Was no. carried out.

The steam lighter c. l.. Marshall, in tow OF n
tug, while coming down the East River yester-
day morning. collided with the ferry boat At
Iantic. bound from Brooklyn to her slip at South
Ferry. with several hundred passengers aboard.
There was a long hawser between the tug and
tho lighter. and when the tug slowed down the
hawser sagged deep in the water. The pilot OF
the Atlantic thought that the lighter and the
tug were not connected and attempted TO pass
between them. He found out his mistake too
late to avoid collision. Tho lighter had a good
hcadway and struck the ferryboat on the star
board side, smashing some OF her joiner work
and disabling the starboard paddle wheel. The
ferrytoat hogan to drift up toward the bridge,

gers, she was taken over To the repair dock or
The ferry company In South Brooklyn. The

Notwithstanding the fact that the
thermometer wesdown to ten or twenty
deEees below zep last Wednesday, the
attendance at thew. G. T. U. meeting
was larger than it has been for several
months past, aud nearly as many visi-.
tos were present as members OF the
udon. The first to arrive was Mrs
GYArton, the presidnt, who said as she
cine in from the ,een outdoor air, ut
il such a bitter coll day that I fear no
ne will be able to 'ome to the meeting"
md when a goodlynumber had arrived
Ill seemed surprised to see 20 many
present.
i After the usual devotional exercises, !
! Mrs. Girton read tie w. @. I. U. paper.
One item in it wsss clipping which sta
ted that in Vienna, Austria, there is a
law prohibiting a m.rried man from 60
ing into a balloon without the written
consent of his wie. Several of the
ladies who heard that item read thought
it would be a good pan to have q SINH
lar law in this county, only substituting
the word saloon" for "balloon".
There was al interesting discussion
or the question, "Oagbt mothers to be
informed on subjects not specially per-
tanning to the home"
Mrs. McClenon read a paper on w. c.
T. U. Work, speaking of the various de-
partments Of tho National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, some of
| which it is expected that local unions
will take up. One member said that q
lady who lives in Madison told her that
she had never known any w. G. T. U. in
any place TO do any good whatever. The
woman who could make such a remark
proclaihs her own ignorance. Probably
she does not know that the introduction
Of scientific temperance Instruction Into
the public schools of our country is due
to the Womau's Christian Temperance
Union, and that now in all but three
states the children are by Law required
to he taught the scientific effects OF al.
cohol and OF narcotics upon the human
system, 49, 600 children in the United
States now being under temperance
laws. II the w. C. T. U. had never &C.
complished any other result this alone
is enough to justify it's existence as az
organization. Even il some unions are
