ALL DISHES ONE CENT.
A Penny Cafe, with an Evangelist as
Cashier.


A penny cafe is located on West Wash
ington street where hundreds of the fair
visitors have supplied the inner man with
those substantials and delicacies so neces-
sary to the maintenance of life. The
place is not exactly palace in its appoint
ments. nor is the food such as to excite the
fastidious appetite of the pampered aristo-
GRAFT, but to the hungry man who is not
disposed to invest very heavily in fuel for
the stomach the cafe offers superior in
ducements. In many mems minds eating
is a mere habit anyway, and an annoying
and expensive habit at that. How to salts
fly this propensity at the least cost to the
pocketbook is TO them a perpler1ing prob
lem and they are finding in Mr.. Reed, of
the penny cafe, a philanthropist and an
angel In fact Mr.. Reed can apparently
give Edward Atkinson. of Boston. a few
points in the art of reducing the cost of
living. He has placed in his cafe a numer-
Gus assortment of edibes every one of
which may be purchased for the least coin
of the realm AS the gentleman well says,
il would be impossible to charge less.
Mr.. Reed has also secured the valuable
services of a very large specimen of ply
sique to act cashier and general facto-
tum. The sight of this gentleman is
enough to guarantee the nourishing quail
ties of the provender for sale. He is not
only satisfying to the eye, but is also ready
to provide food for the soul, for he is an
evangelist. On the walls of the institution
some attempts appear for filing the mind
with noble sentiments CLEANED from the
Bible, which, very likely. are the work of
the evangelist. One of these notices reads
thus: BLESSED are they that do hunger
and thirst (after righteousness They shall
be filed" Again, the patrons are admon-
ished by the motto: Whether, therefore,
we eat or drink, do all to the glory of God.
IAN the foremost men in thia place, said
q courteous ex-soldier, who guarded the
door last night, ARE Christian people,"
The treasurer showed reporter the mys-
teries of the institution. In the rear part
of the room is buffet upon which are
placed the articles of diet, and the patrons
are marched in a line along this layout
from which they help themselves, and then
march past the treasurer, who sizes up
charges them accordingly. There were
onions hot soup, liver sauerkraut biscuits
and similar good things but much OF them
were in rather homeopathic quantities.
One man was heard TO grumbe about the
smallness of the things, but the treasurer
said: Now, honest, what can you expect
for a cent? Pears TO me you'd kick if you
little slack tonight" said the secretary
but we have been feeding over three hun
dred q day all week. The most of the sales
average about 10 cents. You see, we charge
q cent for coffee q cent for milk TO so in
it, and so on so that a man will usually
spend 10 cents, anyway, before he gets
done Some Of the most blooded will go as
high as a quarter, but that seldom hap
pens. We do a rushing business at 4
O'Clock in the morning, and | want TO say

Appeal in vandaIin Gases.

The case of Benjamin Harrison. trustee
against the Terre Haute 81 Indianapolis
and the Terre Haute & Logansport railroad
companies was yesterday appealed by the
Terre Haute & indianapolis Company to
the Court of Appeals at Chicago. Last
April Judge Woods sustained the demurrer
filed against the cross-bil of the defend
ants, and in July entered az order for the
sale of the roads. In granting the appeal
from these several actions OF the court
Judge Woods required a bond of s., 900 and
the setting aside of $25 Go of the LoganS-
port fund neld by v. r. Malott, as receiver
as a specific fund for the payment of inter-
est which may accrue, pending the appeal,
on the bonds secured by the mortgage
which has been foreclosed. A stay of sale
is granted until the appeal is heard.

willie CoppocI1'= Mother Sues.

The mother of Willie Coppock, the fifteen
year-old boy who was killed in the Union
Station in March, 1886, is suing the Penn
sylvania and the Union Railway companies
for damages on account of the accident.
The boy was employed by the Union News
Company to transfer packages of newspa-
pers from the trains to the news company s
stand in the depot. He was run down by a.
train while performing his regular duties
and died within a short time. 1t is claimed
that he was pushed about thirty feet along
the track after the train struck him. The
plaintiff charges that the train which killed
her son backed into the station without the
usual preca@tion of a policeman or guard.

InterchnngeahIe Mileage Ticlzet.

The executive committee of the Western
Passenger Association met in Chicago yes
terday for the purpose Of hearing the report
of the. subcommittee which has had under
consideration the adoption of a form Of in
Interchangeable mileage ticket to be used on
the Western roads. The committee reported
that it had practically agreed on the form
of the ticket to be adopted and the executive
committee took the form of the ticket nn-
der consideration. 1t was the opinion OF al
members of both committees that the time
was close at hand when the Western roads
must put an interchangeable mileage ticket
on the market, but beyond this the meeting
of to-day did not go. The chances are that
the interchangeable ticket will not be placed
on the market before the commencement or
next year 1t will however, be placed on
sale as soon as the consent of all the roads
to its use has been obtained and the CO
operation of those roads which are not

Possibly it would be better" said an at
torney who has been Identified with rail-
roads for many years after reading the re-
ports of Receivers PIERCE, Jarvis and Ma
lott, for the stock and security holders
were some of the supposed solvent roads to
be operated by receivers-that is, if the
court should be as fortunate as was Judge
Woods in making his appointments Dur
ing the Monon receivership the road was
very ably handled, and when the court
turned it over to the security holders it
was rid of several troublesome debts en-
tailed by former arrangements, and during
the period the road was in the hands of a
receiver Improvements were made to the
property which have placed it among the
best roads of this part of the country. Re-
ceiver PIERCE has made the T., St. l.. & K. c..
one of the important lines of the country,
has improved the property. and when the
company is reorganized it will have line
much better known than when Mr.. Peiree
was appointed it's receiver. The Louisville,
Evansville & St. Louis is another road
which has been brought into prominence by
Receiver Jarvis, its physical condition
greatly improved and in such a manner
that some of the Eastern security holders
who recently inspected the road expressed
great surprise and could hardly believe they
were riding over the same track as that of
two years ago, so greatly has the condition
of the property been improved. The Van
dalia Is another system of roads which GER
tainly has suffered nothing by being placed
in the hands of V. 7. Malott, the present
receiver. After making q trip over the sys-
tenn with an expert on track and equipment,
he decided what improvements were essen
tial and began TO make them, among other
things laying forty miles of heavy steel
rail, putting in hundreds of thousands of
crosSties. placing bridges in good condition,
and operating the several divisions on q
more economical basis than had ever be-
fore been undertaken. AT first there was
some criticism over the dismissal of men,
bat time has demonstrated that Ii was a
wise course to pursue, and none are more
pleased with the conditions under which
Receiver Malott is operating the road than
owner of the securities. La each case the
receivers have accomplished what has been
done without mourning large receivers
debts which 1t will take years to liquidate
Lnles Sthe money is secured through the re-
organization when it comes. Most Of the
roads of this State, Illinois and Ohio are
in such excellent condition and so well
managed that security holders may have
some hope of realizing on their investments
the Monon, whenever the IT, st. L. d X. c..
the L., T.. & St l.. or the Vandalia comes
out of the hands of the receivers the prop
critics will have much more value than
when the courts were asked to appoint
these officials"

Western freight rates show no signs OF
stiffening and there is much feeling among
the stronger roads against the small fell
lows who, they say are cutting the rates
without any cause whatever. There is not
a single one of the roads but has all the
traffic it can handle and the large roads
say that it is the height of foolshness TO
cut the rates. AS long the heavy traffic
is in sight there is not any great danger
that the roads will cut rates very deeply.
but the conditions are very much unsettled
and nothing but the large amount OF bus
mess that is being offered to Inc roads pre-
vents very serious decentralization.

In the Circuit Court yesterday M. Helen
Huntington brought a damage suit against
Rufus X. Syfers, George c. Webster and
Frank A. Mcbride. The action grows out
of the establishment of an institute at
Plainfeld this State, in 1891 for the cure of
drunkenness and the morphine habit. The
plaintiff, with her husband and the de-
PENDANTS, procured of DR.. Kelley, of
Dwight, Ill., the right to use the Kelley
treatment The claim of the plaintiff is
that the defendants induced her to sell her
interest in the establishment at rate much
lower than its real value. After she had
retired from the business. as alleged, the
concern passed into the hands of the Kelley
Institute, which is made party defendant
to answer as TO it's interest in plaintiiI $
claim. The complaint charges that the de-
PENDANTS have made no accounting to the
plaintiff of certain profits due her, and she
demands Judgment for all that may be
found to rlgntfuhy belong TO her. The
plaintiff estimates her damages at $4,000.
She charges that the defendants, in order 10
