Mr.. Ford,s 1,ooo-Mile Ticket.

Passenger Agent Ford, of the Pennsyl-
vania and Vandalia lines, will issue to-day
to all agents under his supervision instruc-
lions regarding the modified features of the
Central Passenger Associations inter-.
changeable 1,OOO-mile ticket. The most i'm
portant notifications are in the rule as to
signing the mileage strips and issuing the
exchange ticket. Under the new rule the
owner of an Interchangeable mileage ticket
may at his convenience and leisure sign his
name on the back of the widest part of the
mileage strip close to the last preceding de-
tachment, but it must be signed with an
indelible pencil or with ink or 1t will not be
honored, and can leave his ticket thus
signed with the agent upon his arrival at
a station, or send it to him by messenger
or by the hotel porter or in some other
way, and upon his return to the station
find his exchange ticket ready and his bag
gage checked, provided he has made such
an advance arrangement. Therefore there
need be no more delay at the station or on
the train in the use of the new than there
was in the use of the old, which latter form
was good only over one system of roads,
while the interchangeable" is good over
The old form of exchange ticket is valid

elers, and the hindrances which accompan-
led the old form will therefore be in the
early future entirely obliterated.
uterine tickets from points on one rail-
road to points on another via through car
lines and via functions where connections
are close and there are no transfers, are
being prepared as fast as possible. These
tickets will be issued in exchange for
coupons from the interchangeable mileage
tickets and baggage will be checked
through-a convenience which could not be
enjoyed by the use of the old form Of mile
age ticket. The notifications above alluded
to have been approved by the mileage ticket
bureau of the Central Passenger Associa-
ton and will be in effect on or before Dec.
l, or just as soon as the new forms of Elk
change and interline tickets be printed
and distributed among the thousands of
agencies of the forty different railway COM
panies over whose lines the tickets are hon.
ored-and some agents of the Pennsylvania
lines have been already supplied with them.
1t is believed that these amendments to a
plan which is already successful will place
the new interchangeable mileage ticket be-
yond the reach of reasonable criticism.

In 1913 a battle was fought near Milan,
in Italy, and so perfect was the armor of
both armies that, although the conflict
ragged from a. m. to p. M, no one on
either side was either killed or wounded
though one man broke his collarbone by
falling off his horse.

the Tablet, has made the number of for

had not occurred for many centuries.

1t may be essential to the redemption
of his personal pledges for President Nc
Kinley to send a message on the curren-
cy to Congress at this time; and that
would be sufficient justification for his
doing SO; but it Is difficult to see how
the country is to reap any benefit from
agitating this question now. No
body believes that the commission asked
for viii be granted. But if it is pushed
it will give rise to a long debate which
will uselessly prolong the session of Con-
gress, and if it is not pushed the Republic
cans will expose themselves to the charge
of insincerity. Furthermore there is dam
report of the conference committee must
be submitted to the Senate for approval
and the silver men can, if SO disposed,
by debate and dilatory motions, indefinite
~ postpone this approval. As regards
the tariff bill the situation is practically
no better now than last Wednesday when
the, President delayed his message at the
request OF prominent Republicans who
feared it might unfavorably affect the
fate of that meas ure. There is just as
much danger now that it may prove a
serious obstacle in the path of that meas
ure as there was then. The only posi-
BILE good of the message at this time is
that it may serve to put the President
on record in favor of some reform of the
currency This would seem to be very
small good compared to the evil which
may and very likely will result from it.

Ambassador Hay is understood to be
making some effort to secure the pardon
Of Mrs. Maybrick, though not probably
in his official capacity. 1t is doubtful if
stronger unofficial representations can
be made to the British government on
this case than were made some years ago
and which failed at that time. Neverthe-
less the success of the present movement
would not be surprising. Mrs. May brick
has now been in prison many years and
with lapse of time opposition to her par
don is likely to diminish. The former
movement was weakened somewhat by
indiscreet attacks upon the judge before
whom she was tried and it made the mis-

The greatest danger to the currency
lies in the continuance of business and
industrial depression. With the return
of good times there will be little difficult
ty in inaugurating and carrying through
all the minor reforms that are needed.
But unless times are prosperous when the
next Presidential election takes place
there will be great danger that the coun
try will be plunged into the free silver
experiment. Anything that tends to de-
lay revival of business, such as the con
tinuance of tariff uncertainty, tends to
endanger our currency system.

The Senate has refused to stand by
Senator Wellington's demand for the re-
lection of the nomination of B. Fl. Warner
to be consul at Leipsic, the committee on
commerce having voted unanimously to
recommend confirmation. 1t was in re-
gard to this matter that Mr.. Wellington
made the sensational speech in the Sen
ate q few days ago. Probably if he had
gone to work differently he might have
been successful, but he put the matter in
such shape that the senators were COM
PEELED to choose between affront1ng him
and the President. With great amount
of patronage yet to be disposed of, to say
nothing of other considerations, the SEN
ators would not be foolish enough to
choose the latter They know too well
on which side their bread is buttered.
Nevertheless Wellington's demand was
not different from what has frequently
been put forward by other senators in
the past, and enforced too. The public
within few years has seen a senator
from New York defeat several nominees
for the Supreme bench, not because they
were not suitable men, but because he
had not been consulted in regard to them
before their names were sent in. The
trouble with Wellington is that he has
torial courtesy. He will know better next
time than to make public declaration
of war.

The gold Democrats of Ohio are going
to follow the example set by their Iowa
brethren and put an independent ticket
in the field. In the country districts most
of the Democrats have doubtless gone
over to the Bryan crowd, but in the
cities there are great many Democratic
business men who have no fellowship
with free silver and will let it be known
at the polls. In state that contains
SO many large cities as Ohio, the gold
Democrats ought, therefore, to make a

to what looks like a fair arrangement
will send it there with rush. There

Unless spirit of compromise animates
both committees the conference will be
prolonged indefinitely for the House is
not in a mood to do all the yielding, and

HIS SPELL IS BROKEN.
DR.. ]. M. Thornton Separated
From His Lately Hyp.
Noticed Bride.
A Revolver Dissipated the Enthra'.
ment and a Box Of Candy Sealed
the Disunion.

DR.. J. M. Thornton, the alleged hyp-
motto doctor, has been forced to admit
that his power over his bride of few days
is over. The spell is broken, the magic
cord of sympathy is snapped.
The happy couple quarre'ed over their
respective mediumistic powers. and to
test her independence Mrs. Thornton
withdrew to the paternal roof-tree.
Thither, attended by u police officer, DR..
Thornton wendell last night, and. rapping
at the door, raised deep basso voice to
order his better half to return to his side.
But, according to his woeful tale, it was
the barrel OF an ugly looking six-shooter
instead of the face of his bride which met
his i'm perious gaze.
Temporarily Withdrawing his forces,
after the manner of the Greeks from Phar-
salos, the doctor and his bodyguard con-
suited, ultimately agreeing upon a new
plan of cam paign. The bereaved husband
abandoned his hypnotic voice and resorted
to the old old lure of Eden. The offer oil
q box of candy secured the Immediate
appearance of Mrs. Thornton. and it wa.
then the doctor said he had his triumph.
1.-THE die is cast" he exclaimed with a
magnificent gesture. keep your candy,
girl, and remain with your father as long
as you please"
The forces then withdrew in good order,
both sides victorious according to the war
correspondents. But then the doctor says
the speHi is broken. and he ought to know.
