NICKELS IN CHANGE
Cause a Suit Against the Memphis
Street-Car Company. =.
Memphis Scimitar.

Memphis Scimitar.
The Supreme Court will be called upon
at it's next sitting at Jackson to look into
the peculiar case Of Mrs. Crutchfield VS..
the Memphis Street-railway.
Mrs. Crutchfield sues the street-railway
company for $500 damages and the COM
plainants maintain that they have such a
cause as entities them to a trial ON the
merits of the case.
1t is related that on the day OF trans
action Mrs. Crutchfield, who lives in Fort
Pickering, having occasion TO come up
town, found that she had no other money
than $40 BILL She tried to get this money
changed before she boarded the street-car.
She went to the butcher with whom she
deals in the neighborhood and offered to
pay bill there if the butcher could
change the bill. but she could not get it
changed. So she boarded the street-car
with the bill. 1t is related on behalf Of
the complainant that she explained to the
conductor the circumstances accounting
for the necessity for Offering him so large
bill and asked him for transfer at Beal
street. They were not able to settle the
trouble about the bill until they came to
Madison street when the conductor got
OF the car TO get the bill changed 1t Is
aSSerted tnat ne went 10 rome tIOuDlc 10
get the bill changed entirely to nickels. He
got at the first bank, so il is asserted by
the complainant, $40 in nickels and $40
bill, and then went to another bank and got
the $40 bill changed to nickels. He carried
these small coins to the passenger and
rendered them TO her. n
1t is related that Mrs. CrYtchheld asked
for time in which TO count the money, but
D the conductor demurred. and the other
passengers protested against the delay, so
that Mrs. Crutchfield said the car might
go to the end of the line and she would
count the money en- route Ii is related
that after she had counted the money over
once she concluded that she was $l.l5
short, and upon making demand for the
balance the conductor handed IL over to
her. She had not yet finished counting the
money when the car reached the end Of
the Main-street line and turned for the
round trip. Then the conductor demanded
a second fare from her, whel eat she pro-
tested. and after some argument, when
the conductor declared that she would
have TO pay another nickel or get of, she
got off the car.
These being the averments OF the law
suit from the complainant's standpoint, II
IS intended TO go TO the Supreme Court to
ascertain whether or not such circum-
stances do not constitute cause for ac-
ton.

Hundreds of merry people did their part
nobly toward helping to receive the New

by the less harmonious songs produced by
hundreds of voices. The glad welcome
lasted for several minutes and then small
groups of young people repaired to other

II POPE'S VIEWS
Says the United States Should Keep
Philippines.

Rome, Dec. IA conference of
great importance has been held be-
tween his holiness the pope and Arch
bishop Chappelle of New Orleans, re-
specting the Philippines.
The pope said he did not believe the
United States would abandon the Phil
ippines. Abandonment by America
would be a grave loss for Christian
civilization. The pope added that if
America should ever give up the Phil
ippines it would be obligatory on him
to take measures for the cession of
the Philippines to some other Chris
tian power.
Preparations continue at the vatican
for the celebration on December 81,
when at midnight, in st. Peters cathe,
