RETAINING A SEAT,

"A Judgment Which Is of Interest to
Railway Travellers.
A Judgment of the greatest impor-
lance and interest to railway travellers
was delivered recently by Judg e Emden,
A gentleman travelling from London
to Hastings had occasion to leave the
carriage at Tunbridge Wells, and took
the ordinary precaution of reserving
his seat with his umbrella and newspa-
pers. While he was absent another
passenger seized his place and refused
to vacate it until forcibly elected. AS
result an action for damages was
brought against the original owner of
the seat by the intruder, and a counter
claim for similar damages was entered
by the other, side as we'll. The Judgment
delivered was one which will commend
itself to 80 out of every 100 travellers.
The claim for damages for ejectment
was dismissed and the counter-claim
allowed. .
For the future, therefore, the can
tankerous individual who persists in
fence of travellers in the manner indi-
Gated will know how he stands, and
that if the owner of the seat thinks fit
to bundle him out neck and crop the lat
ter will not only have the sympathy of
the public, but the law as well on his
side. There can be no question what
ever that the universal. mode of retain
ing a seat in a railway carriage is
most reasonable and convenient one,
and the thanks Of the public are due
to Judge Emden for his very clear and
sensible interpretation Of the law. Not
the least important point in his judy
ment is his assertion that the holder, Of
seat was entitled to use reasonable
force to- eject an intruder. London

Sirs. sloane Remedies Two Fine New
York Residences Into One
Grand Building.

A new interest has been added to the
two Vanderbilt houses built together
on the block running from Fifty-hrsf
TO Fifty-second street on Fifth avenue,
New York city, by the fact that one Sis
ter has sold her house to another sis
ter, who in turn is possessed OF the
startling ambition of converting the
house just purchased and the one orig
inalIy left by her father into the finest
mansion in the United States.
With this object in view, Mrs. w. ID.
Sloane consulted one Of the best known
architects In the city. Plans were
drawn up and accepted, plans which
called for the entire rebuilding Of the
exterior and practically the remodeling
of the interior.
The result of the decorators plans
has been a series of magnificent rooms
In the various French periods-ball-
rooms, salons, chambers, boudoirs, IL
brary and dining-room that are marvels
of the artists brush and the decorators
skill. In the new house In Fifth avenue
may be found reproductions of histor-
ical rooms in Versailles, the Tuilleries,
Trianon, Fohtainebleau and many OF
the famous palaces of the French no
bility in the seventeenth, eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries.

THINKS ANDREE PARTY LOST.
DIR. EcIyboIm Gives HIS Views on the
Fate OF the Expedi-
ton,

DR.. Eckholm, the celebrated scient-
list, who was to have accompanied
Prof. Andree in his balloon to the
north pole, but changed his mind be-
cause he believed that the gas would
escape through the seams before the
object of the expedition could be at
tanned, has written an article in the
Dagbladet, in which he declares that
unless the aeronaut Is heard from this
fall the conclusion may be reached
that he and his party have persisted.
The writer argues that the balloon
could not keep afioat for more than
ten days, therefore, Andree could not
have crossed the polar circle. DR..
Eckholm hopes that Andree effected
landing a few days after his start,
when he must have found that he could
not proceed any further in mid air.
1t Is quite possible after landing that
the party, with the aid of the boat and
skis, came within two degrees of the
pole. DR.. Eckholm also thinks it pos
sible that the expedition ended on
Franz Josef Land. In that case the ex-
petition must have been there all VIM
ter and should arrive in Norway be-
fore the extreme cold weather sets in
this winter.
Andree and his companions, Drs.
Strinberg and Frae.tkel, believed that
their balloon could keep afoat for
more than a month.

TO REDUCE FOREIGN POSTAGE.
T,yo-Cent Rate with England, Ser-
many and France Has Been
Suggested.

Third Assistant Postmaster General
Merritt In his annual report recon-
mends immediate negotiations with the
postal administrations of England, Ger
many and France to reduce the inter
national postage rates to two cents a
half ounce or fraction thereof. The re-
port says:
"The department now realizes moth
ing in the way of revenue from ocean
letters, practically Ill the postage paid
on them going to the steamship COM
panies carrying the mails. If the rate
should be reduced the same state Of
things would exist - the department
would still get nothing and lose moth
ing, and the steamship companies
would suffer no hardships, for the slim
illus given to correspondence by the
reduction Of rate would no doubt event
uaIly, at least, give them ms much COM
pensation in the way Of postage as
they now get
"An ocean penny postage is demand
ed by the social necessities of the An
glo-Saxon race. The reduction does not
require action Of congress, as the post
master-general has authority under
Section 39S of the revised statutes"

Other states were more than generous,
but Missouri paid her men nothing.
Now some lawyers have discovered In

say $50 per man. These lawyers were
busy at the camps of the Third and

The sophomore class OF Princeton
university, at o special meeting held
In Dickinson hall, unanimously
adopted, amid great enthusiasm. q
most remarkable set of rules 10 govern
the downtrodden freshmen.
Last year the university authorities,
ct meeting, determined TO stop the
hazlng of firstyear men by the sopho-
moro class. Both the classes Of 1900
and 1901 have lost some Of their best
men, who have been suspended or ex-
PEELED on account of this determine
ton.
So many mer have been disciplined
that the men Of 1901 got together at
the call of their president, ID. V. Hutch
ms, and decided they would forever
abolish hazing provided the faculty
would return the men already expelled
or upon probation, and provided the
freshmen would accept the rules form
ulated and adopted.
Here are a few things that the soph-
ignores demand:
"Sophomores, juniors, and seniors
may SNOWFALL freshmen and the latter
must not fire back"
Freshmen must not be seen on the
streets after nine o'clock at night.
Freshmen must doff their capsjf asked
to in polite manner by the sophomores.
They must not wear Fedora HORSE
