Successful Move.

Mr.. Davis, the industr ial commits
siocer of the Santa Fee, seems to be
working along lines that will eventual
ly be productive of much good to the
country through which the Santa Fe
runs, and also to the road itself. A
railroad constructed through an I'M
developed country can pursue no wiser
course than to aid, as far as practica-
BILE, in the development and utilization
of the natural resources of the terrific
ry tributary to its line. By that means
il can secure local traffic and make
itself independent of the competition
of roads that may be disposed to strug-
gle with it for business between ter
miual points. 1t is hoped that the in
dustrial department of the Santa F'e
will be eminently successful, aud that
it will be the means of causing many
people to establish their homes in the
southwest, developing the resources of
the country and making it in a large
measure independent Of other parts of
the Union.

Concessions Forfeited

All existing concessions for railways
granite to the Mexican National Con-
structlOn company have been forfeited
for non fulfillment of the terms of CD ar
t-rs. The company, however, has one
line in operation from ManZanillO on
the Pacific coast to Colima, capital of
the state of the same name. This line,
of course, remains in possession of the
company, but it losses the prop )sed ex-
tension of this line from Colima to the
City of Guadalajara.
The Mexican National Construction
company built the Mexican National
railway and holds large share of its
second mortgage bonds. Gen Palmer
of New York, and James Sullivan are
prominent men in the construction COM
pany and it is believed that they will
secure new concessions to carry out their
projects.

Pull man is Responsible.

For nearly three years Charles H.
Wiltsie, Rochester lawyer, tried in
vain to recover from the Pullman
Palace Car company the value of
''dress suit case" that was stolen from
him on one of the cOmpany's cars while
he and it were on the way to Florida.
Beyond lavish express ons of sympathy
over the misfortures of its patron the
company ohstinately refused to 60, so
long as he refrained from bringing
suit. millions for stationary, but not
cent for damages, seemed to be its
motto. Finally, however, moved eth
er bv the fact that the claim would
soor be outlawed or by belated real
izaiion that he bought letter paper at
retail, and therefore was conducting
the correspondence at a disadvantage
with an antagonist that made whole
sale purchases, Mr.. Wiltsie overcame
the horror which, as lawyer, he ma
turally felt for litigation, and carried
the matter into court. Then the COM
pauy saw new light, and, after few
delays, resorted to merely on principle
and for the sake of practice, it paid
this week the full amount of his de-
mand-Sl50.
This action may be regarded as an
admission of full responsibility for such
thefts. lis worth noting that the as
sertion of liza bility was not based on
the cOmpany's duties as common car
rier, or on its likeness to an inn, but
entirely on the law of negligence. In
similar suit against the New York
Central, Chief Justice Follett once
held that, as a traveller who pays for q
berth in sleeping car is invited and
has The right to sleep, and as both par
ties to the contract know that the trav-
eler is to become powerless to defend
his property from thieves or his person
from insult, the company is bound to
use degree of care Commensurate
| with the dangers to which passengers
are exposed, and to have an employe
| charged with the duty OF carefully and
continually watching the interior of
the car. II the employe fails TO do his
duty the right OF recovery was held to

It is said that Jimmy Michaels clev-
er little head was responsible for the
innovation. Michael is close student
of the game of cycle racing. His
thoughts sre on his work and his
chosen profession all the time. He
says but little, but his training is his
one thought. No one item escapes him
that is of any interest in this or foreign
chimes. His strong forte is paced eX-
hibitions and record rides and middle
distance paced contests. Last spring
Michael said that he would follow the
circuit and ride in the regular contests
this season. Some discussion was
aroused at the time regarding the
ability of the young rider to compete
against the first class men, among
whom he belonged Michael rode
years ago in short contests and gained
good reputation. This was brought
to bear as an argument. Now he is be-
sieged with entry blanks and his man
ager. Dave Shafer, is in trouble con-
stantly explaining that Michael is not
competitive rider. The announce
ment is made that the "We'sh Rare
bit" will be seen in no races unless it
be in contests after the style of the
French races, where each competitor
is allowed his own pace making.
Michael will ride exhibitions and will
go against records later 10 the season.
Speaking of the five miles record of
which Platt Retts, the great English
rider, robbed him, in 9:O7 As, Micha Is

midget said, 81 will have that again be-

DIVORCE BY MOSAIC LAW,
Curious Ceremony of Separation Per-
formed by New York Rabbi.

A curious ceremony was performed
10 New York Jail the other day. II
was the granting of a divorce by Mos
a;c law. Ida Block sought to be separ-
ated from her husband Jacob. jacob
left her and she began legal proceed
ings and obtained an allowance of ali
mony, which he refused to pay and was
put in Jail. The "Times" says:
| Jacob suspected that Ida wanted to
marry some other man and told her
she could not DO so, ''even if you get a
dozen divorces in the courts. AS long
as YOU don't get a divorce from me you
won't get any rabbi to marry you. The
MAYOR or an alderman will marry you
off but rabbi never"
Ida is pious young woman, and she
consulted a rabbi, only to find that
hat her husband b ad told her was true.
Although she might get divorce in
the couc,s, under the Mosaic law, as
interpreted by the orthodox re- bbis,
she could not req AIRY unless she OBJ
tanned a ''get" or separation from
him.
A consultation with friends was held
and a committee was sent to parley
with Jacob. At first he was quite OBJ
stinate. ard declared that he would
down, and said that if he were releas-
ed from jail he would give Ida 'get."
Ida hurried on Thursday 10 her law
yers, and said she was willing to re-
lease Jacob from jail. Then she bur-
ried to Rabbi Naphtali Reiter, of 119
ATTORNEY street, ard asked him to come
to she jail and draw up the "get," for
such a document has to be got up by a
ra bbi.
Rabbi Reiter is good-natured gen.
tlemau with large red beard that
over h ia breast. He said YES
terday that he explained to her that a
divorce was merely a sepa
ration according to the Mosaic law,
her to be remarked by rabbi
only after obtaining divorce in the
stale court. Ida explained that she
was getting a divorce in the state court
and so Rabbi Reiter accompanied her
to Jacobs lawyers office, in Essex
street. Here the necessary witnesses
we're secured. and the party went to
the Jail.
Paper. pen and ink were presented
to the husband, and the rabbi intoned |
a prayer that was repeated by Jacob. |
The writing materials were then pre-
,ented to the rabbi, and the visiting |
party returned to the lawyers office, |
where the rabbi wrote out the decree |
Of separation on the paper that the |
husband had given him. Then they |
again went to the Jail, and here the |
'abbi handed the decree of divorce to |
.he husband. The latter held it out to |
he wife, who took it with both hands, |
Ind that moment she was a free woman |
luder rabbinical law, providing she
also got state court divorce. Visitors |
ind prisoner left the Jail together, for
da, through her lawyer, gave him
'elease. Husband and wife parted on
