The prisoner smiled a sickly smile and
threw himself upon the mercy of the

HELEN GOULD'S GREAT WORK
She Maintains Ten Chaplains in the
 Regular Army

Washington, March 8-The Star today says:
 "A visitor at the white house today, re- ferring to the lack of chaplains with the regiments in the Philippines and elsewhere says that Miss Helen Gould, of New York, Is maintaining her ten chaplains in the army at her own expense.
 '"rhese men are not officially recognized as chaplains, but as ministers and Y. M C.. A. workers they voluntarily and unofficially do practically the same work. Miss Gould, 1t is stated, pays each one of these men $90 a month and their expenses. The latter amounts to more than the salaries in the Philippines It is thought that Miss Gould s monthly payment is something like 5000. She has been maintaining these Christian workers since last fall when the regiments first began to go to the Philippines, and her attention was called to the failure Of con- gress to provide for chaplains. Her great work Is not generally known, as all Of her deeds of this kind are done in the most quiet way"

RAILROAD WINS
United States Decides Against Texas in
 Famous Case

Washington, March 26-The supreme and Texas Central Railroad company vs the state of Texas. The case involved the validity of payments made in state war rants issued during the civil war. The pre- decessors of the Houston company were borrowers of money from the school fund of the state, and while the war was in progress made payments in these warrants. In 1870 the state legislature passed a general act for the relief of the railroad companies in the state.
 When a settlement was undertaken under this act the amount of former payments be- came involved, the state authorities alleg- ing the payments to be invalid because the warrants were unconstitutional, having been issued In aid of the rebellion. The trial court took this view of the case, and the state supreme court affirmed this opin- lon.
 Today's decision reversed these decisions, the supreme court holding that the pay ments in state warrants were legal and proper; that the warrants were not issued in violation of the constitution and that the state had a right to receive them as money.
 On the point that the warrants were void because issued in aid of a rebellion the court said, supposing the warrants were illegal on this account, "still the actual re- ceipt and acquittance given were not for this reason void as between the parties. In other words, the contract having been fully executed by the company and the state and neither party having chosen to refuse to perform its terms, neither party as being themselves, if thereafter act as if the con- tract had not been performed, nor could the state pass an act which shall impair the obligation which springs from its perform ence."
 The case involves about $1,300,0Oo.

Man Broke His Neck Trying to Lift a
 Window

Louisville, Ky, March 26.-Joseph Swope, aged 46 years, foreman of the truck de partmept of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company. was found dead at his home in this city this morning. Death came suddenly and in a peculiar manner. Swope came home late last night and laid down on a lounge. This morning when a servant went to call him to breakfast he was found dead with his neck broken. h. vestigation showed that Swope had evident ly tried to raise window while lying on the lounge In a half reclining position In some manner he slipped, the heavy springs made him lose his balance and his entire weight was thrown upon the back of his neck Death was probably instantaneous.
