Chose perjury Gases

We are very sorry to learn of the
dissatisfaction over the adjustment
Of the perjury cases in the last term
of court at Erie. We know but little
about the merits Of these cases but
feel that the attorneys and the court
did what, in their Judgment, was
best in the whole matter. They were
in possession of the whole facts in the
matter and doubtless acted conscient!
ously.
A good,de Of dissatisfaction was
being aroused in many parts of the
county over the immense expense at.
tending these prosecutions and the
county attorney and his associates
felt that the ends of justice were ac-
complished as well as they might be
with justifyable expenditure of the
peoples money,

TO GUARD HIS DAUGHTER.

to a Chaperon-

London, March 27.-wilIiarn Waldorf
Aston arranged, just before sailing for

should be chaperoned during the COM

When the Princess Marie, a sister of
the present Dhuleep Singh. came out
a few years ago, she was placed by
queen victoria, whose ward she is, IN
der the chaperonage Of the Countess of
Selkirk, who got $4,000 year for look
ing after her.
AS William Waldorf Astor has no
lady relative in England to go out with
his daughter, the countess quaIifica-
tons for the delicate and responsible
duty of a chaperOn were brought I'M
der his notice. She was approached on
behalf of Mr.. AstOr, and, terms having
been arranged and an agreement duly
signed and sealed and stamped, Miss
Astor is now placed under her wing. 1t
is understood that the consideration in
the agreement is $4,000 for the season.
and. Of course, expenses on a liberal
scale The Countess of Se1zirk is a lady
of charming manners and profound dis
cretiOn- She has a thorough knowledge
in which Miss Aston will move.
The countess resp possibility. of course,
is a very heavy one, as her wards great
fortune will attract many suitors eIigi-
Bile and otherwise Miss AstOrs natural
destiny is to make a great match and
the countess must see that it is full
filed The project is an alliance with
the Duke of Essex, but it has only ad-
vanced to the point OF being a pious
wish on the part of both families that
such a marriage might be arranged
There is no intention Of forcing matters
to a head at present
When her father is here Pauline Astor
will, of course, go out with him occa-
sfOnally. but his distaste for general So
ciety grows stronger every day, and
the Countess of Selkirk will be her COM
panion to a greater part Of the enter
tainments. In fact, one of the countess
duties will be TO decide what invitations
shall be accepted, acting upon her
knowledge of the particular species of
guests likely to be encountered by her
ward at particular houses.
Miss Aston herself is of a quiet dis
position, not disposed to make social
functions the chief aim of her life. She
will be seen only at the very smartest
gatherings.

CAN'T KEEP SAME ENGINE.
Santa Fe Makes Rule Divorcing En-
gineers From One Locomotive.

Chicago, March Z.-The Chronicle says:
Engineers and their engines are to be d.
vorced on two of the railroad systems di-
verging from Chicago
Hereafter. on the Chicago. Milwaukee
and St Paul and the Atchison. Topeka
and Santa F'e roads, all engines will be
pooled and run continuously, regardless
of the engineer in charge. instead OF be
ing run by one driver and laying up in
the rouudhOuse while its master sleeps.
Since the time when the memory of
man runneth not to the contrary railroad
engines have been assigned to particular
men
But in the interest OF business, tradi-
tons are TO be disregarded and supersti-
ton thrown to the winds by the pooling
plan that will go into effect On these two
roads at once
A fact not generally known is that rail-
road companies Nose thousands Of dollars
every year by adhertng to the custom OF
keeping one engineer to one engine.
Under the new rule the engines will be
worked continuously for allotted periods,
when they viii be sent to the shops for
whatever repairs are necessary. They
will be operated entirely independent Of
the engineers and the latter Will be
quired to climb upon any locomotive that
IS run out for him TO serve on Each en-
CINE will be thoroughly inspected before

Under the new plan one engine will do
as much work as two or three now do,
they will be operated continuously.
