Prof. A. w. Lorentz received a

Peculiar Snit.

A peculiar damage suit has been in
stituted in the courts of Elkins, the
members of the Randolph county
court being the plaintiffs. It is al
legged that James Hanley circulated a
slanderons report to the effect that
the site for the court house, recently
removed from Beverly to Elkins, was
given TO the court, and that the court
ordered draft drawn upon the coun-
ty for 81, 900 with which to pay for
the site, the members dividing the
money among themselves. Hanley is
sued for SANDER, the damage being
placed at S., 900 for each member OF
the court. Much interest is being
displayed in the matter, and develop
ments will be watched closely.

Must not Accept Liquor shipments.

A very queer order has been for
warded from headquarters to all the
express agents in this state. 1t goes
on to say that no liquor is to be ac-
cepted for transmission by the COM
pany in this state either collect or
prepaid to other points in the state
but that it may be taken points out
side the state for shipment into West
Virginia. The agents do not clearly
understand why they do not want to
take it when it is prepaid as there Is
nothing in the law TO prevent it,.
The law however does prevent them
from shipping it an collecting at the
end of the route. That constitutes
the company and agent and they
must have a license to do it.

THE BUBONI PLAGUE.

The official announcement that
the bubonic plague has been
stamped out at Santos and Rio
Janerio, Brazil, indicates that,
when taken hold Of early and dealt
with intelligently, this disease can
be eradicated in a comparatively
short time, no matter where it
appears. The two South Ameri-
can cities referred to are both in
bad sanitary condition, particu-
larly Santos, and yellow fever is a
constant visitor. Several cases
of the plague appeared in both,
but the authorities exerc sed
prompt and vigorous measures
and, according to their statement,
have succeeded in driving it out.
If this report is true there
seems to be the best of reasons
for concluding that the same I'M
welcome visitor can be likewise
dealt with at Honolulu, where, at
last accounts, there had been fifty
cases and forty-one deaths. The
presence Of the dread disease in
the Hawaiian Islands endangers
this country and the most vigi-
liant care should be exercised by
the health authorities in the mat
ter both at Honolulu and the Pa
cifc coast American ports. There
is no occasion for alarm, but
there is occasion for the closest
scrutiny.
The bubonic plague is a filth
disease which comes from Asia,
Its visit to Honolulu ought to i'm.
press the necessity for better san,
itation Of that place. In fact botl
in the Hawaiian and Philippine
Islands the first important steI
taken by General Wood at San
tiago-the establishment in ever,
ity and town of a commonsense
practical and up-to-date sanitar,
system. Our welfare at home
as we'll as that of our new charge:
abroad, demands this action. I
will be a measure of economy anc
a blessing to humanity to teacl
these islanders the rudiments o
health.

AFTER THE TICKET SCALP
EKS.

On February / there became
effective an agreement between all
the competitive railroads in the
United States, Canada and Mex
leo whereby ticket commissions
are abolished. For many years it
has been the custom Of railway
companies to give a commission
to ticket agents of other compa-
MES who induced travellers to take
tickets over their routes, especial
~ where there was competition,
and without the agents good
word another route might have
been chosen. But the system led
to many abuses and the cutting of
rates was promoted by it. It thus
played into the hands of the
scalpers and the adjustment of
commissions, it appears, was aim
ed nainly at the ticket brokers.
"The investigation of Congress-
iopal committees" says a promi-
nent official, "has shown the main
stay of the scalpers' business has
been the payment of commissions
by certain railroads for the illicit
support extended to them. Ink
deed, scalpers bave fully admitted
that they could not have continued
in business without the railroad
commissions, and they have boasts
ed that not a few companies de-
pended on them for their traffic.
In view of these facts the cessation
of the payment will be a fatal
blow to the scalpers and will drive
many of them out of the field they
