in Handling Cars According to Initials"
General Superintendent Barrett, of the
Chicago q Alton, Is making numerous
changes which have been of advantage TO
persons who have heretof been connect
cd with the Big Four line. .lcluded among
these are the making OF Thomas Morris

Perintendent of car service. Mr.. Barrett
himself was for some years general supet-
intendent OF the Cincinnati, Hamilton *
indianapolis road.
The management of the Wabash lines has
issued an order which prohibits the use OF
intoxicants by employees before reporting
Tor duty or while on duty. While this was
a wise measure, and will be approved by
patrons of the road, il seems TO have been
d1sapproved by some of the employees, and
a number of firemen and brakemen are said
10 nave quit the service and gone to other
roads. statistics show that wherever the
prohibitive rule has been in effect the num-
Der OF accidents has been materially de-
creased.
In commenting on the pension plan, a
director of the Illinois Central road says
the matter has been discussed but nothing
has yet been done. There seems 20 be much
difference of opinion to the wisdom of
these pension schemes. They are supposed
TO be prompted by philanthropic motive,

sal monarch whose death would so little
disturb the current of affairs-not the
boy King Of Spain, nor the girl Queen OF
Holland, the youthful Car of Russia. the
elective heads OF the republics Of the United
States and France. Yet scarcely could the
passing OF all these rulers bring home so
widely a sense OF personal loss. A myriad
nationed empire and an English-speaking
world have watched since yesterday the
gates of the royal seat at Osborne for the
coming OF the bulletin of death. And among
all those peoples every soul capable of
emotion has felt some sense. however slight,
OF parting with some one great, in station
at least. and altogether good. There is
nothing intense or acute about this mourn

MRS. ETTIE HOOVER Is ATTEMPTING
TO RECOVER $1,000.
She Claims Her Husband Used Her
Money I'm speculation-Other
Cases i'm the Courts.

The alluring market quotations chalked
up on a blackboard were responsible for
suit in Judge Carriers court for the re-
covery of money lost in chase for wealth.

Mrs. Hoover and her husband were on
the stand most of yesterday. Mrs. Hoover
said that when they were married she had
about $1,000 which was placed in the bank
by her husband. Later, she says he drew
the money out at the solicitation or
man named Schofield, who represented that
buying stocks and investing at the market
exchange was a quick road to riches She
stated that she did not know her hus-
band drew the money out of the bank at
the time and was unaware of his intention.
When it came to an accounting the adverse
investments turned up and suit against
the brokers followed.
When Hoover was on the stand there was
much questioning about his investments 1t
seems that his choice backed by his friend S
advice was Northern Pacific. Two hum
dred shares were held and until the mar
kets suddenly started down an inclined
plane at the rate of dollar a point for
each share of stock. the brightest hopes
were entertained. At this time Hoover
said Schofield came to him and asked him
how much he could stand" Hoover stood
as much as his purse would allow and
when the bottom was reached and North

hopeless rate the climax came. Hoover
could stand no longer and the money
was forever gone. Hoover also said he in

EHRIsMaN LITIGATION.
Mary A. Blanchard Secures a Judg-
ment and Decree of Foreclosure.

Mary A. Blanchard Secures a Judg-
ment and Decree Of Foreclosure.
Judge Carter yesterday announced find
ing for the plaintiff judgment for $3,4SS.s4
and a decree of foreclosure in the suit of
Mary A Blanchard against Jacob Ehris-
man. This ends long line of litigation
that has been pending in the county courts
for several years. The Ehrisman litigation
started when Samuel Ehrisman, son of
Jacob Ehrisman, died. He had a common
law wife whom Judge Harvey, then on the
Superior Court bench held was legally en-
titled to his property. Jacob Ehrisman
brought suit TO have the marriage set aside
at his death, marriage ceremony had
been performed few months before he
died. 1t was alleged that he was of I'M
sound mind when he married his wife in
view of the fact that he died in the Insane
Hospital a short time afterward.
How Mary Blanchard came to be en-
tangled in the litigation was by advancing
her brother, Jacob Ehrisman, $4,000 with
which to start his son in the milling bust
ness. When the son died his wife released
her interest in the mill and other property
rights for a consideration, and the elder
Ehrisman assumed the responsibility of the
mortgage his sister had taken on the mill.
He did not pay Ii on the grounds that his
sister had lived with him for several years
and 1t was worth that amount to keep her.

BURNS SENTENCED.
Judge Afford Convinced that He Was
FeigninE Insanity.

Arthur G. Burns, who has acted the part
OF an insane man in the county jail and
Criminal Court for several days, was yes
terday sentenced to from one to three
years in the Reformatory by Judge Afford
Oh charge Of stealing diamond ring
from Minnie Cole. Judge Afford says he
believes Burns is feigning insanity and that
he has played the role of an insane man
and escaped the law in different cities
when he should have received a sentence.
In the courtroom, yesterday, Burns was
even more hysterical than usual, and when
the judge was talking he wildly looked
around and cried "They are coming,
they are coming: the angels coming
Before he was led out he dropped at the
feet Of Deputy Conner and offered fervent
prayer and then took up his usual cry of
1.-The angels are coming" His case is still
mystery. Judge Afford says that If
Burns has lost his mind he can be adj
judged insane and taken to the hospital
from prison.
