NO THREE CENT FARE.
United states Court Vpsets Il Famous
Detroit Ordinance.

Detroit. March 20.--Judge Swan in the
United States district court rendered Il
decision which denies the validity of an
ordinance passed some months since by
the city council requiring the street rail
way companies to reduce rates of fare to
3~cents. The court says there is nothing
in the charter of the city which author
lies such an ordinance and allows an i'll
junction to restrain the city from en-
forcing it. Said Judge Swan:
$40 enforce this >ordinance would be
AN act not of regulation. but of spolia-
ton The police power includes the gen
cral management as regards the protec-
tiun of life and property and the accom-
mediation Of the public. but the legisla-
ture itself could not affect the fares
agreed upon. 1t might e-for the vel
fare of the public that the fares should
be abolished altogether, but that would
be contiscalon and could not be toler
atcd"
\ contention of the city in defending
the injunction suit was that. since the
older ordinances provided that rates of
fare mot exceeding : cents" could be
charged. that the city had power subse-
ouently to regulate the rates at treason
able" figures The court holds that the
substance or meaning of all these ordi-
nanccs permits 5 cent fares which privi-
lege cannot afterward be annulled.

HADLEY ON SMALLPOX.
Yale's President Advises the Stu
dents to he Vacrtuuted


New Haven, March 20.--Presidon Ar
thur Il. Hadley addressed the Yale stu
dents at the chapel exercises on the
| smallpox or varioloid scare that is trou
bling Yale. He said:
There is in some parts OF the college
community an excitement concerning
smallpox which is not warranted by tn,
facts. From the first the authorities have
adopted the policy of making publicly
known and of isolating every case which
could give ground for the slightest sus-
picion. Only two such doubtful cases
have developed-one at the colony, the
other at 113 Wall street.
in view, however. of all the circum-
stances. the authorities recommend that
all students should be vacciuated. This
is the right remedy and the sure one.
The wrong remedy is TO run away. If
you have not the disease in your system
vaccination will make You safe. In the
very improbable contingency that any of
You has the disease in his system running
away will not protect him. Least of all
will the university countenance any such
mistaken policy by contemplating the sus-
pension Of any part of its regular exer-
cses.
every few years we have an alarm Of
this kind. No such alarm has ever been
followed by serious consequences. | con-
graduate you OH the superior coolness
which the students of the present college
generation have shown as compared with
their predecessors under similar circum-
stances. If you can individually and
collectively maintain this Improvement
in moral courage. it will stand Yale in
good stead in all the affairs of life

MAY MARRY A DUKE,
Rumor Liuxs Miss syIvin Green's
Name with Il NobIeman's.

New York, March o0.-The World says:
Miss Sylvia Green. daughter Of Mrs.
IIetty Green. variously known as the
richest woman in the world" "the fe-
male wizard of Wall street" and "the
mysterious woman with the black satch-
ell will. it is reported. marry the Duke
de In Tore OF Spain in June. She will
probably be the richest duchess in the
world some day.
lletty Green's wealth will foot up at
least SlO,0OO,OOO. Probably $4,000, 600
IS nearer the mark She is Il hardy old
lady, and, allowing her ten more years Of
life il is estimated that she will be worth
%io'ooO,O00 when grim death compcls
her to loose her grip on her hoard Of mil
lions.
Inc hoiress to half of this vast fortune
met the duke at the house Of mutual
friend in this city about the time the no
hleman arrived here some six weeks ago
The dukes interest was keen from the
start. Since then he has been assduous
in his attentions and has given many din
nels and theater parties in her honor.
Now. ii is said, the one thing lacking TO
complete the happiness of the couple is
the consent of the prospective brides
mother. If that is Forthcoming. the wed
ding will be celebrated in June at New
port or Bar Harbor.
But as vet the old lady is obdnratc.
That she is "set in her ways" and hard
headed" in business matters Is provcrbial
down in Wall street. The bulls and
bears say there is not an ounce of senti-
ment in her make up.
The Duke de la Tore is. comparative-
ly speaking worth little. His income is
said to be about $1,000 year. At the
time of his arrival in this country early
i'll january il was officially stated that
he came here to study American military
institutions.
First he went to Washington. where,
through the Spanish minister. he received
inroductions in diplomatic circles which
served as an entree to New York social
circles Immediately aflerward rumors
of his engagement to marry an heiress
were rife. and the names of number of
wealthy young women have been men
toned in this connection.
