In the case Of Greenlee vs. the Rail
road, decided at the recent term Of the
Supreme court, Justices Faircloth and
Furches dissented from the opinion Of
the court rendered by Justice Clark.
The importance Of the case calls for
the publication of the decision, which
Is as follows:
SIN any aspect of this case, the 6e-
PENDANT is liable, whether the plaintiff
was or was not guilty of contributory
negligence, for the negligence of the
defendant in not having self couplers,
and in sending a man to couple cars at
all was a continuing negligence which
existed subsequent to the contributory
negligence, il there dad been any, of
the plaintiff and was the proximate
cause, the causd cGusGns Of the injury.
Six years ago, in Mason VS.. Railroad,
Ill N, o. 482, at p. 4S7, the court in
considering whether the defendant
company was negligent in failing to
provide what is known as the Janney,
or some other improved coupler, which
would obviate the necessity under any
circumstances Of going between the
ends of cars in order to fasten one to
the other, said:
"We think the time has arrived
when railroad companies should be re
quired TO R6CaSL such pnl4nlaa on all
passenger cars, and the new codpIsss
have become so cheap as compared 10
the value Of lives of servants and pas
sengers that it is not unreasonable to
require that they provide them on
peril Of answering for any damage
which might have been obviated by
their USE"
While the court declined on account
OF the expense to hold that the same
was true at that time as to freight cars,
It added: Doubtless the day will soon
come when it would be negligence not
TO attach them to freight cars as well
"a TO passenger cars" Congress so
thought and passed an act q U. s.
Stat, at large p. 631, requiring self
couplers and air brakes to be placed on
all care, freight as we'll as passenger,
by January /, 1898, and this had been
complied with as TO lover 60 per cent.
Of the freight cars" besides nearly all
passenger cars, operating in Interstate
commerce, by that date. In WitEell
"a. Railway, 100, N. q. 557, the above
citation from Mason va. Railroad was
approved, and the court held thai
while il was not negligence TO fail e

equipment, which may be estimated at
So, 900 per mile for track and 50, 500 per
mile for equipment. The total of this
item, therefore, is 1926. 900. Three cut
fits OF road making machines, includ-
ing rock quarrying and crushing ap
paratus, road rollers, ditchers end
graders will cost at So. 600 each, say
sos. 0OO. In addition there should be
an additional allowance of, say, 500,
600 for electric lights, dynamite and
torpedo appliances, including the en-
ploYment of scouts and spies.

When camp of mobilization was
first established at ChickRmauga, there
were many amateur critics who scoffed
at the notion of gathering an army SO
far away from the probable scene of
action, and who called loudly for a
muster of volunteers at Key West or
the Dry Tortugas, so that the soldiers
could at once take ship for Cuba with
out further difficulty. It is likely that
these gentlemen would change their
minds if they had lived under a tent at
Tampa during the past month, with
the mercury touching n~inety.eight,
and the days spent in marching around
a dusty drill ground, clothed in the
heavy uniforms prescribed by the
militia regulations Of the Northern
States. But in other and far more
serious respects, the condition of our
volunteers in Florida must US
concern and alarm. Owing to the lack
Of a properly regulated food supply,
the health of the men is steadily
d~eteriorating, while every day they
are compelled TO see trains going North
loaded with fresh fruit and vegetables,
Of which supplies, so necessary in a
tropical climate, they are deprived by
some Encouragement. The average
actual strength of each regiment is
one half the nominal re quired quota,
and, to crown all, there Is 40 man at
the head of things or any body staf
officers capable Of correcting the evils.
a plain and foTcible statement of these
truths, written without prejudice on
the one side or attempt at sensational
Ism on the other, forms the basis of q
letter, published in Harper's Weekly
for June 4, from Mr.. PJultney Bigelow,
who has been living in the camp at
Tampa, and has carefully studied the
situation. Mr. Bigelow's experience
abroad enables him to make valuable
and suggestive comparisons, and his
observations and opinions are of the
greatest interest. The letter concludes:
I'VE can thrash Spain any time we
chccae. But just now it would do US
all much more good to discover why,
thirty days after war is declared, cur
troops are losing their vitality in
Florida, with notR single regiment fit
to take the field"

ceeded in passing the fret line OF de
lenses, but was torpedoed about 500
feet up the channel.
She went down ''perpendicularly" "a

eeamen were taken prisoners. The
number of victims ia unknown.
Only the funnel and mast heads OF

There is great excitement intne city.
A part of the population assisted in the

astounded at the audacity of the
American vessel.

A Rabbit stopped Family Prayers.

One Sunday we were all at regu-
lar family prayer. A sporting friend
was visiting me, and he and I knelt,
facing a low window, with our ell
bows upon the sill. And from round
a corner, 10, there came unto US a
coney, and he reared up not two
yards from us, and he hearkened
unto the prayers, and he winked his
nose at us, till my friend forgot
himself and exclaimed, I'VE kin
catch that devilr' l threw up the
window so hard that / cracked a
pane, and out we leaped in redhot
chase. And the dear old archdeacon
almost burst trying not to laugh,
for he had seen the rabbit and was
a keen sportsman withal. We ran
that rabbit across four two acre lots
as hard as we could split, and at
last we got him into deep snow,
where he gave up and was captured
alive. And on looking back to the
first fence we had cleared l saw
fuzz of white whiskers above it and
heard a strong old voice shout,
They got him, they got himT'-

"You need not be the first; the sec

easy. Then you find yourself talk
ing to him at party or somewhere.
You say to him, with simple, in
nocent look, that you have little
money that you would like to in

for you. He probably will agree to
do this. Then he invests it and soon
returns you 92OO or $780," "But
supposing that the e1O0 is lost!" l
asked "Oh, but you don't really
give him the e1O0; you only say
that you want to invest it. He I'M

it, why not3 After all, you don't
suppose that people Of this sort are
received and made much of for any
other reason than for getting what
they can out of them? All the talk
about investing is only a delicate
way of letting the man know that if
he wants social currency he must
pay his footing" "Oh, I said.
And yet what possible pleasure
can these millionaires find in being
admitted into the outer courts of
society that laughs at them and
that only tolerates them in order to
plumber them-a society to whose
ways they are strange and in which
they are as much fish out of water

hopes rose when, after the dinner

pleasure of finding himself among
