SELFISH MAN PUNISHED.
A Little Train Incident That Gave
Justice-Loving Passengers
Much Joy.

Passengers on an Atlantic City train a
few evenings ago were treated to spectacle
of retributive justice that tickled them ga.
mously. The car was crowded, and, as the
dust was flying pretty thickly, all the pas.
sengers save one had their windows down.
This unpleasant exception was disgruntled-
looking party, with plentiful growth of
weedy-looking whiskers, and these he al.
lowed to sway in and out of the window with
the gusty zephyrs. OF course, he got none
of the dust and cinders, for these always
blow in the seat directly behind. Two nicely
dressed women occupied these unfortunate
quarters, and, after suffering martyrdom for
about 20 minutes, one OF them asked the
"open-window fiend' if he would mind put.
ting the window down. mol" he replied,
grufily. Its too warm. If you don't like it
change your seat"
In front of the man sat a travelling man,
who took in the situation at glance. Quick
as a fash he raised his window, and instant.
er the flowing facial appendages of the man
behind began 10 perform a most fearful Sc
ries of gyrations. The dust speckled them.
and the wind twisted them. Their owner,
after few moments of such violence, got
red in rthe face and then put his window
down. A few moments later he leaned over
and asked the other passengers to shut off
the draught in a similar manner, but, to the
intense amusement and qualification of the
balance of the people in the car, who had
watched the little comedy all the way
through, the drummer. without so much as a
twinkle of the eye, replied mo! It's too
warm. If you don't like it change your
seat !'-Philadelph Record.

HIS BUSINESS ABILITY.
As Hanger On Young Mr.. Blank
Was Gritty and Glorious
Success. . -.

This fair maid will have handsome dot
some time, and it is the ambition of her
father to have her marry one whose fortune
will at least equal her own.
II want you to stop hat young Blank call
ing here, he remarked, recently, in the au-
tocratic way that some fathers have. "He
has no prospects worth speaking of, there is
nothing to show that he has any business
ability, and don't want him hanging around
here any more.
What is business ability, papa?"
'Why, you know. Everybody knows, of
course. Let me see. Why, it's the ability to
see the main chance, to grab il, and hang on
till you get the money. That's what it is,
and there's plenty of young men in Detroit
that have it. Blank lacks il woefuly."
'Oh, he does? I'm afraid, papa. that
you're speaking without proper information
He knows that I'll have 100000 some time.
That is a main chance worth looking after
Mr. Blank saw it. He reached out and
grabbed for it. He's hanging on, and he's
going to get it. Do you happen to know of
any other young man of his age and limited
opportunities whose business ability has as
sured him so handsome a fortune?'
The old gentleman answer sounded Sus
piciously like smothered profanity, and it
was fully five minutes before the bewtching
creature could bring the sunshine OF smile
to his face. Now he tells few confidential
friends that young Blank has the making of
one of the best business men in the city,

The remarkable time made by the
LaGkawanna newspaper flyer between
New York and Buffalo on Sunday is
marvelled at by railroad men, when
the fact is taken into consideration
that the route of the train is over Il
mountainous country nearly the en-
tire distance. The distance of 4l0
miles, which was covered in "A little
over eight hours. is remarkably fast
when compared to the running time
of the New York Central Empire state
express between New York and Buf-
falo. There is a saving of thirty-five
miles in the distance by way of the
Iackawanna and yet the train was
run in forty-five minutes less time
than the Empire express.
1t is the intention of the company -
reduce the running time of the passen-
ger trains between New York and Buff
falo and also to make a better record
with the Sunday flyer. The freight
service, which has been considerably
improved under the new management,
will also be made more prominent and
already the increase in traffic along
that line is a source of much gTatifi-
cation to the officials.
The idea of a through fast freight
service between the east and west has
long been discussed, but with the amic-
able arrangements now in vogue be-
tween the Lackawanna road and the
Nickle Plate the question is practi-
cally settled and an evidence of the
appreciation of such a possibility is

Frear, has been rendered in the
case of Hawaiian Commercial and
Sugar Company We. Wailuku
Sugar Company.
The plaintiff appealed from a
Circuit Court decree sustaining
the demurrer of the defendant and
dism issing the bill for Injunction
of the plaintiff. The appellate
court affirms the decree, stating
the law as here given:
IAN alleged equitable owner of
land is not entitled to an injunc
ton to restrain the prosecution of
condemnation proceedings against
the holder of the legal title, during
the tendency of suit to have the
holder of the legal title declared
trustee of the land to the use of
the equitable claimant, there
being no collision between the
plaintiff in the condem nation pro
ceedings and the holder OF the
legal title"
The plaintiff is the holder of the
equitable title in question, and
Claus Spreckels the holder of the
legal title, and the property is 5000
acres Of land on Maui to which
are appurtonant valuable water

lease the widow joined for her
