The average man would unhesitat-
ingly declare that a passenger on a
railway train, presenting a special
ticket would be unreasonable should he
refuse to tell the conductor whether
the name written upon the ticket was
his own, if the conductor asked him if
it was II not on a jury when inter
rogated upon the matter, the average
man would respond that II the passen-
ger stubbornly refused to answer and
the conductor elected him from the
train, he would have no right to re-
cover damages. A case of this sort,
tried in Maine, resulted in verdict
against the railway, and the Supreme
Court Of Maine has decided that the
unreasonable refusal Of a passenger to
state his name when asked by a con-
ductor, to whom he tenders a mileage
ticket, if the name thereon was his
own, is insufficient to justify the con
ductor in procuring his arrest without
a warrant on the charge Of fraudulent
ly evading payment of fare. But it is
held to mitigate the damages for the
passengers wounded pride and sensi-
bilities.' Il is difficult for one to see
just where the justice Of that opinion
comes in.

A state exchange says: III you wish

the name of our new possession Porto
Rico. The proper spelling and pro-
is Puerto Rico" Well, yes,
that is the proper way, II you are a
spaniard. One of the yellow papers Of
New York makes itself conspicuous by
insisting upon following the spaniards
in that respect; just as it insists upon
us following them out Of the Philip

Porto Rico; and the United States de-

Americans the American form is cor

cast ashore from the Dominion line

"a practical demonstration Of the hardi-
