of the plaintiff Mr.. Frailey was informed
by Redmond's attorney, Mr.. Thos NJ.
Fields, that damages were not based upon
injury to the character or reputation of
the plaintiff, and that to render unneces
sary further inquiry in that direction the
amount of damages claimed would be re-
duced to the cost of the ticket of admis-
sion. 81, and the railroad fare of the plain
tiff from the city to the track, rs cents, or
81 p in all.
Mr.. Frailey, however, declined the offer
stating that on the ticket of admission pur-
chased by Redmond was a printed notice
that the club reserved the right to revoke
1t and refund the amount paid for it, with
out giving any reason therefor. and that in
the published notices of .ihe race meeting
In the public press was a notification that
disreputable persons would be excluded
from the grounds. Redmond said he had
not observed either the notice on the ticket
or in the public press, and Mr.. Frailey
! then submitted testimony tending to show
that when Redmond was refused admission
to the track, he was told by the officer in
charge to go to the box office, hand In his
ticket and get back the dollar he paid for
it. Redmond did not deny that he was so
II structed. but said he failed to hear 1t.
Mr.. Field then knocked off from the plain
tits claim the price OF his railroad ticket
p cents, and with the consent of the de-
Tense Justice O'Neal gave Judgment for
the 81 Redmond paid for the ticket of ad-
mission and costs Of the suit, 1906. which
the club promptly paid.

SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
Result is Judgment for Amount Orig
fnaIiy rendered and Costs.

In its advertised notices os its race meet
ings at the Benning track the Washington
jockey Club features the fact that disrepu-
table persons will not be admitted to the
grandstand or grounds. At the entrances to
the track are stationed each meeting sew
eral of Pinkerton's men as well as local
officers, with instructions to refuse admis-
sion to disreputabie characters and to eject

chased a ticket of admission. paying there
for the sum of 81. When he attempted to
pass through the grand stand entrance he
was informed by the officer in charge, one
of PinkertonS men. that he could not enter.
Redmond testified that when he asked why
he could not be admitted the officer re-
piled that he had been instructed by the
club management to refuse him admission.
That was all the explanation that was Of

The Title of Honorable.
From the Rrooklvn Time4

The use of the title honorable was never
more common in New York than it Is to-
day. 1t is placed as a prefix to the name
Of every Office holder at every ward poll
ticians' ball, and in this respect it prob
ably serves purpose In distinguishing
those who draw the money from the city
treasury from those who put 1t in. There
is no law for the use of the title Hon. in
this country. and any character that Gus
tom may have given 1t in the past has
been so abused as to make 1t ridiculous
and useless. The title belongs distinctively
to England, and is fixed there by law, and
as one of the rights of the reigning sovei-
eign. and why Americans should ape 1t
passes beyond comprehension. The young
er sons of an earl and the sons and daugh-
tiers of q viscount or a marquis are en-
titled to be called honorables in England,
and so are members of the cabinet, but or
binary members Of parliament may not
use the title. though parliament as a whole
is an honorable body. and In the course
Of debate member Is the honorable men,

A RACE FOR A NINE.
Two Parties Midwfnter Dash to I,O-
cate the In Fleur Mine.

rfohi !Ainsise Magazine.
An exciting race for a mine took place in
feoruary, 1896 For many years it had
been known that the Colville Indian reser-
Vatlon was rich In minerals. and prospec-
tors had slipped in, eluding the vigilance of
the Indian police, to explore the mountains
| in northern Washington. But long before
white men had entered the Indians knew
| that the top of low mountain near the
nations border line was covered with bright
blue stones. so gaudy that many were car
ried on and placed in the wigwams. The
prospectors knew that these gay stones be-
tokened the existence of copper veins, and
many hungry eye was cast at that rock
strewn patch of ground before the govern
ment lifted the ban that kept out pale-face
intruders.
But Congress passed law opening part
of the reservation to mineral location.
Waiting for the President to sign the for
NAL proclamation. two parties quietly en-
tered the forbidden territory and camped
alongside the promising vein. At Marcus,
the nearest telegraph station. two young
men waited with tense nerves for the first
tick that would tell that the President had
signed the proclamation. It was a cold,
gray winter day, and the snow was piled
high. Late In the afternoon the word came
and there was simultaneous dash for the
horses that were waiting outside. Then the
race began. Plunging through drifts. tum-
bling down declines. toiling desperately up
steep hills and bounding at full speed over
the level stretches, these two horses bore
their riders. Sometimes one was ahead and
sometimes the other. The sun disappeared
and the hurrytng pair blundered along
through the deepening twilight. and then i'll
the light Of the stars reflected by the glis-
tening snow. Spurs were plunged 50 deep
that fecks Of blood stained the snow. AL
most side by side they scrambled up the
mountain. The yells of the riders were
heard in the distance by the rival watchers
who did not wait further hint. but drove
the stakes that were to locate the La Fleur
Then followed wordy disputes. fist fights
and the nourfshing of Winchesters, but be-
fore the mine was christened with blood

its battle In the courts.

One Of Most Important Questions
With Which Congress Will
Have to Deal.
GOVERNMENT AID NECESSARY
Amount of Money Necessary for
Comprehensive System Larger
Than the Western States
Are Able to Supply.

CHICAGO, Dec. Nv. c. Brown,
President and General Manager OF the
lake Shore & Michigan Southern Rail-
way, with headquarters at Cleveland.
when asked for an expression Of opln-
ion on the presidents message as re-
CARDS the development Of the West
said:
Il cannot express too strongly my
appreciation Of the recommendation OF
the president, looking 10 the reclama-
tion Of the now arid regions in our
Western states and territories by the
construction Of great reservoirs for the
storage OF water
The fact that the president favors
the undertaking Of this work by the
general government is logically the
result Of his familiarity with condi-
tons in the West and his practical
knowledge Of the subject under con-
sideration.
The work Of reclamation OF arid
lands. undertaken in the comprehen-
sive and thorough manner which its
importance not only jusufes. but de-
mands viii require a larger expendi-
ture OF money than the sparcely set
tied states Of the West can command.
Money for this purpose expended by
the state must be raised by taxation.
this is an obvious impossibility. and
therefore the only alternative left TO
the state or territory unaided by the /.
general government would be 10 farm
out 10 great syndictates composed Of .
eastern capitalists the right TO con-
struct the reservoirs. 70 own the water
and control the land reclaimed Under
this plan the settler seeking a home
upon government land must pay trib-
ute TO the syndicate thus formed, in
such amount as the syndicate might
elect 10 exact.
