WAR AMONG SOME WOMEN.
1t Does Not Deal With Those in New
York, However.

"What in the world are they fighting
about, anyway" asked a young girl in
an Atlanta store Saturday morning.
'For liberty, my dear child" replied a
companion, with an air of superiority.
"Our country must not be insulted by
the Italians"
Il thought it was the spaniards," mild
ly protested the first speaker.
swell, they are all the same. It makes
no difference who it is we are fighting;
it is the principle of the thing we are
after"
"Has anybody been shot yet?' asked
the first speaker.
81 really didn't read the news clearly
this morning" was the reply.
Then they turned their attention to
the bargain counter, and the war was to-
tally forgotten.-Atlanta Constitution.

FLOODS AROUND MULBERRY.
Arkansas Town in Terrible Pre-
dicament.

Mulberry, Ark, May 7.-1nis town is
in furore of excitement tonight on ac-
count of the high water. In every di-
rection for miles last night could be
heard the screaming of women and chill
dren who were clinging to limbs, trees
and houses. Many of the citizens have
been building boats and are rescuing per
sons from the river bottoms. Many are
missing, and no estimate can be made of
the number lost or drowned. The sight
is heartrending The water was never
known to be so high. Many houses that
have stood for years have been washed
away. Water was backed over the rail
road track three miles from the river,
and is still rising.

Legal Decision which Firmly Establishes
One of Woman's Rights.

Judging from their general behav-
Tor IL seems fair to presume that wo-
men nave always been OF opinion that
II they want to step of a car back
wards il is their right to do so. Men
have fiouted this notion hitherto. but
a decision just given in h court of
appeals at Philadelphia shows the
women to nave been correct. The case
decided was hat of Mrs. Julia Rouser.
who brought suit damages for having
been thrown from a a step while
alighting with a baby in her arms. II
was urged by the defense that mas
much as Mrs. Rouser had stepped of
backwards she had no cause of COM
plant. The court held hat she mad
a right to al,ght m way she pleased.
Judge Shepard said:
"When the car had been stopped
the passenger had the right to presume
that IL would not be started while
she Is in the act of stepping of. Con-
s~equently, while IL would be prudent
to provide against possible negligence
of the carrier by grasping the handle
bar m getting off with the face to
the front. we cannot say that she Is
under any legal obligation to do so.
We think that she has the right to
step of with or without g%rasping the
bar. and facing in any direction that
she chooses. n that the defendant,
whose car has been started in breach
OF its duty, is In no condition to COM
plain that the passenger awkwardly
and carelessly awaited herself of her
privilege to alight in her own way
from a car that VAS motionless. and
was bound to remain so until she had
safely left II. Any other rule would
work injustice to passengers and be
opposed to the established public pol
icy. which. in the interest of the safe
~ of life and limb. demands a very
high degree OF care on the part OF car
riers In the matter of receiving. carry
ing and discharging passengers"

A conference over important immi-

between representatives of the Ameri-
can transcontinental Zines and the
alIN - - s.'a
ways. The attitude Of h Union Pa
cifc railway toward the immigrant bu-
reau maintained in New York Is vexing
other American lines as much as the
policy of the Canadian Pacific. For a
long time the Union Pacific refused TO

reau, and since IL has II Is alleged by
some of its competitors that IL is secur-

pair its usefulness. The railways are
much divided on the question of the ie-
gality OF the immigrant bureau. in view
of the decision OF h supreme court
against the Joint Traffic association.
The object of the immigrant bureau IS
TO divide the immigrant traffic equit-
ably between all the transcontinental
lines and TO have the rates equal by all
lines between the seacoast and Western
points. II Is the intention to have ev-
cry immigrant arriving In this country,
on the Atlantic coast. to pass through

robbed and mistreated on their arrival
in this country and insures their prompt

sion that would have been properly charac-
terized as warm had not the gentle sex been
the participants therein. The subject un-
der consideration was the adoption of a
constitution drawn up and submitted by a
committee appointed at Tuesdays meet
ing to perform this important duty. The
introduction of the constitution was ac-
companied by motion to adopt it as a
whole, but this was not acceptable to a
very large majority of delegates, who de-
sired to discuss the articles one by one.
One delegate. when told she was out of
order. said she proposed to be out of order,
because the congress. it appeared to her,
had been out of order ever since it con-
