Marcus Braun Secures Judgment
Against Wagner Palace Car Com

One of the most singular suits on
record has just been decided in the city
court in New York city, Marcus Braun
having secured a Judgment against the
Wagner Palace Car company for $3.50
as damages for n mistake made
by one of the company's conductors,
who allotted a berth already sold
to Braun to a woman. When the
error was discovered every berth in
the train was sold and Braun was COM
PEELED to sit in the smoking compart-
ment during trip from Cleveland TO
New York city. When Braun bought
his coupon for the berth he left his lug
gage in the seat and went 10 the smok-
ing compartment. He did net return
for two hours, according TO his own
story, but when be did be found the
berth made up and occupied. The
comments of the other passengers so
injured his feelings, he says. that a
money compensation is due him, he al
leges. The woman in the berth pro-
duced a coupon which was an exact du-
plicate of the coupon given to Braun.

Peace Now Reigns in the North

Gen. Otis Will Now Turn His Atten-

~ IL Likely That Many Insurgents

Washington, Dec. 2G.-Washington
officials are very much gratited at
the existing situation in the Philip
pines. The insurgent army, which
dominated the northern part of the
island up to November 5, when the
American campaign began, has dis
appeared; American garrisons are es-
tablished at more important points,
promising peace in the surrounding
territory, and the general condition
has so improved that Gen. Otis con-
siders it feasible to open all the ports
o. northern Luzon to trade.
Gen. Otis will now turn his atten-
ton to the rebels south of Manila,
and, it is expected, will begin active
operations gainst them in a few days.
just what the strength of the ipsur
gent force in Southern Luzon is the
authorities are unable to say, but it
is likely many of the insurgents I'M
der Aguinaldo in the nor.-- have join
ed the rebels in the south. The au-
thorities would be glad to know that
their conclusion is correct, for in
the south there will be good oppor-
tunity to cut off the armed Filipinos,
and if large number could be cap
tured at one time it would mean the
death blow of the revolution.
Aguinaldo has not yet reached the
southern territory, but is believed to
be in the northern mountains, try
ing to elude the American columns,
which are securing the country
Aguinaldo is undoubtedly working
his way south, in order to gain com
mand of large force
A foreign officer, who is familiar
with the Filipino methods of fighting
said Sunday that the government
should not be too certain the rebel
lion in Northern Luzon had beer
quelled. Before the war with the
United States Spain had experienced
no difficulty in sending col
umns from one end of thu
island to the other, but the ma
tives organized guerrilla bands anC
continued the war, and the creates
difficulty was met in suppressins
them, peace usually being secured b,
liberal promises. This officer said TIN
policy of garrisoning importan
points would tend to minimize guer
rilla work, but he believed that unit
Aguinaldo was captured or killed tn
war would continue.
Opening the important ports o
northern Luzon on January l is eH
pected to destroy the corner on hem

Woman is often referred to by man as
doubling his joys and having his sor-
rows" That may be complimentary
but it would seem TO be rather hard on
the women. For in plain terms it means
that where things are going well with
the man his wife makes them go better.
But when things are going ill with him
he expects the wife to share half his
burden. And there's more truth than
poetry in this presentation of masculine
seltishness. Men don't appreciate the
fact that the strain of motherhood alone
is burden bigger than all the loads
that rest upon male shoulders. They
see the wife grow thin, pale, nervous
and worn without n thought that she is
cver-burdened. Among the pleasant
letters received by DR.. Pierce are those
from husbands who have walked up be-
fore it was too late to the crushing bur-
dens laid upon the wife, and in the
search for help have found in DR..
