She Kept Her Seat.

1t is well understood that u passenger
who has paid his fare in street car is
legally entitled to hold his seat until he
reaches his destination. Frequently,
Young children, for whom no fare is de-
manded, are seen occupying seats besides
their parents. while adult passengers are
obliged to stand. A case OF this kind
occurred on one OF the open cars in this
city the other day. The car had reached
Ninth street on its trip to Shellpot Park
when it was boarded by a middIe-aged
woman, who entered at the third seat
from the front. Every seat in the car
was taken, and at the further end OF the
seat sat a Young woman and a little girl,
who might have been four or five years
old. The other seats in the row were
filled by three men.
The child appeared to be greatly
pleased because size was permitted to
have an end seat, and the young
woman, who was evidently the child's
mother, placed her arm, about the little
one to keep her from falling off. Before
the Car had gone another block the
woman who was standing step ed up to
the young woman and said:
Take that child up and let me sit
down there"
The young woman raised her head,
appeared to be surprised, but said moth
ing. ..
"Won't yon hold that child on your
lap and let me have that seat" contin-
ued the woman.
The attention of the other passengers
was attracted.
II do not intend to ask you again for
that 4eat," added the woman, raising
her voice and assuming an air OF def
ance. II have paid my fare and have a
right to sit. You know that you paid
no fare for her." pointing to the child,
land children who do not pay fare can
not keep seats while older persons stand.
If yon don't take that child up I'll call
the conductor and compel you to do So"
The conductor, who was on the lear
end OF the car, overheard the CONVERSE
ton, and came up to the seat. Before
anything more could I've said the chiId's
mother took a nickel from her purse and
passed it to the conductor, saying:
There's the fare for my little girl
The conductor went away. The
woman " no had demanded seat looked
very much crestfallen. At Fourteenth
street, where the Wanderer left the
car, the persistent passenger was still
and there was no sign Of a
va, ant place on the third seat.

Trouble Ahead Over u Cent,

While at the French Street Station, OF
the p, ". K B. Railroad, on Friday, the
attention OF the Wanderer was attracted
by the actions Of a stranger, who was
evidently from the country He wore
high-water mark trousers and while
waiting for train, tried the chewing
gum stand and found that it did not

JUDGE COOKS OPINION.
Reasons Given for Refusing to Turn
Mrs. BOtkin Over to the Della.
ware Authorities,

In refusingto extradle Mrs. CnrdeIia
Botkin to Delaware. Supreme Conrl
Judge Cook Of California said
"rhe Court has abored earnestly to
find way to send the prisoner to Della
ware. but without avail
The opinion quotes the articles of fed
Grafton, the federal constitution, and
| United States and State tatutes, to snow
that person must have fled from one
State to another when u demand for eX-
tradition is made, and that something
more than mere finding in one State OF a
person charged with crime in another Is
required. Continuing, the opinion says:
1.-The respondent herein claims that a
constructive presence in the demanding
State at the time the crime was com.
mitted with lie finding OF accused in an
other is all that is required or meant by
the provisions quoted. If so. why should
tile word flee or the words from which
he has fled, be employed at all? Why
the words and who fees If such ad.
dtiDnal condition was intended?
1T is true, as stated by the District
Attorney, that modern facilities make
crimes possible without the actual pres
ence of the criminal. Congress has al
ready seen this and has, as to some
crimes, acted The Constitution of the
United States gives Congress the exclu-
sive control OF the mails and the undis.
puted right to define what shall be all
unlawful use thereof and to make such
unlawful use criminal, with such penal
ty as it will fix, even to death penalty.
Fraud perpetrated through the mails
is now, by act Of Congress, criminal,
and can be prosecuted in the Federal
courts and special penalty inflicted.
The sending OF poisons or Internal ma
chimes can likewise be made criminal, as
can murder when committed by the use
OF the mails, and we!e such a law, the
accused would be tried in Federal court,
where process could issue to reach all
necessary witnesses.
"a great crime may, in the absence OF
such statute as We have in this State,
go unpunished, but better that than that
tho Courts should attempt to usurp
power Of government not delegated te
them" ...'
Decisions in many cases are quoted in
the opinion at considerable length, and
the opinion concludes:
1.-The decisions, all taken together,
amount to the establishment OF this
rule, that he who was actually in
State at the time any act tending to
the ultimate completion Of a crime was
done, or he who at any time after the
completion Of crime has entered the
State and left, whether voluntarily or
inyoln ptoriIv ,noy ho rot ,,rno1 tn II for
trial. Any other construction than this
would subject every citizen, guilty or
innocent, to the possibility Of being
removed to a distant State upon the
mere filing of complaint charging q
crime"
