In a suit against the Northern Pacific
the Supreme Court has rendered an in
teresting and important decision relative
to the non-payment of a child's fare. 1t
Is held that the law implies a contract on
the part of the parent who enters a rail-
road car with a child subject to payment
of fare. but not legally supposed to be
capable of acting for himself in the matter,
to pay the fare of such child. Ii payment
is refused, both may be elected from the
train, even if the parent tenders payment
OF his own fare. The removal of the child
operates as a removal also OF the parent,
and If the latter has paid his fare in adj
vance of the ejectment the full amount of
the unearned value thereof must be re-
turned as a condition precedent TO re-

Those who profess to be acquainted with
the inside facts of the resignation of George
of the Chicago, Milwaukee q st. Paul, tell
a very interesting story. Its chief interest
lies in the fact that 1t illustrates the part
New York financial concerns are taking in
the management of the railways of the
country. Mr.. Heafford, it is claimed, failed
to observe an agreement that was entered
into by the ST. Paul with New York in
terests of other lines. He, according to
the informant, broke the commission agree
ment and was so aggressive in looking
after business for his company that the
commission agreement demanded Mr..
Heafford's resignation of the st. Pauls
management. 1t did not come in the way
of a suggestion, but certain banking in
terests insisted that this enterprising and
popular general passenger agent should re-
tire.
