Almost IndenticalIy the
Same.
Judge KohIer interested In Case
In Cleveland Courts.

To reporter for the Democrat.
Tuesday, Judge Kohler stated that the
suit for injunction started in Cleve-
land by ex-Judge Stevenson Burke
against the pennsylvania Railroad
Co. was based upon practically the
same grounds as stated in the petit
tions Of the Trinity Lutheran church
and John Koerber of this city against
the c., A. & O., Pennsylvania road.
The home of Judge Burke is on Euclid
ave., near station of the Pennsyl-
vania, and he alleges that the burning
of soft coal in the locomotives causes
smoke to settle over his property, fill
ing the air with SCOT, and that the
SCOT and flying cinders damage his
lawn, fruit trees and furniture. In
short, he asks for an injunction pro-
hibiting the grievances complained of
upon the grounds that they constitute
nuisance.

for her brother, and asked how Mabel
was getting along. This reassured her,
and she said she felt no fear afterward.
She spent half day with him, and
used the dollar he gave her to buy her
railroad fare to Wheeling. Dave"
Kyle was employed at various jobs in
Wheeling. For a time he was in the
stamping works. Then he worked in
a saloon and as house painter, and
when funds got low, he handled heavy
metal slabs in the Aetna Standard mill.
His sex was never suspected. At this
boarding house he slept alone, paying
extra for that privilege when the mis-
tress suggested placing another board
er in a room with him.
He learned to smoke cigarets,
but cigars were to strong, and when
he yielded to the opportunities of his
friends and tried to chew tobacco, he
became deathly sick. He had boy
companions of the same age, and
loafed about the pool rooms with them,
where he became an adept in the use
of up-to-date slang. He swore, too,
but his companions say that his profan.
ity appeared to be strained. He fought
his own way literally. When a boy
shot a cartridge on the Fourth of July
that injured his foot, Dave" gagged
in fisticuff with him, blarking his
eye and cutting his neck, while his
opponent made his nose bleed. He also
had battle with the lad who sue
ceeded him as cabin boy on the Ruth.

she said today, 'and / don't want

LONDON
BIames Us For
High Prices.
Meats Are Sold at Stiff
Figures.
Australian Shipments Have Fallen
Off.

London, July 30.-America is now
held by Londoners to be responsible
for the high prices of food. London
never before saw such high prices as
are charged this week for meats and
other necessaries Of subsistence. The
representatives of the Chicago meat
packers deny that the abnormal prices
Of meats are chargeable to the Ameri.
can shippers Both they and the re-
tailers are complaining that there is
no money in the. business All con-
cerned say they would be glad enough
to suspend business until more normal
conditions are restored. The repre-
sentative Of one of the big Chicago
concerns when questioned as to why
the wholesale prices Of meat were two
pence higher this week than they were
at this time var ago, said:
1T is due to various causes, but not
in the least degree to the combinations
or other schemes of Americans. Au
stralia's freezing plants have been shut
down on account of the drought, her
cattle have suffered and Australian
shipments have fallen off three-quar-
ters. The embargo placed by the gov,
ernment on Argentine cattle on account
of diseases has. increased the scarcity
of meat. The primary cause of the
high prices of American meat was the
shortness of the 1901 corn supply
which prevented sufficient feeding tc
finish cattle. Then, the American
farmer was selling corn at high prices
instead of feeding it to cattle, thereby
decreasing the supply Of corn-fed ami
mails.
"As for Americans controlling prices
at Smithfield market, nobody controls
them. We have to sell in daily com
petition not knowing the qualities our
competitors are offering, and we are
obliged to take largely what the buy
ers give. Eight hundred and fifty thou
| sand head of American cattle were
shipped to England in 1901, while Eng
land herself supplied 2,5Oo,OO0 head, s,

FEW HUNTERS
Will Pursue the Festive Squirrel
This Year.

The fact that the squirrel season will
open August l, is not heralded with
any great degree of enthusiasm by the
hunters of Akron and vicinity, and it
is probable that the squirrels will be
let severely alone. The change in the
season, which formerly took in part
of November and December, 10 mid
summer. has been very unpopular
one. and there are but few hunters
who believe that the flesh OF squirrels
will be edible even though they be
hunted and secured.
Reports throughout the country are
to the effect that squirrels are plentiful
this season, and if the season were to
be made later, the sport would be good,
but this year there is the unusual
condition of game being in season and
but very few hunters in pursuit.

Wheeling, w. Va, July 29.-After
masquersding for four months as
Dave" Kyle, pretty 1s-year-old Mabel
McElhaney has again adopted the ma
biliments of her SEX She is at the home
Of Samuel o. Boyce, a prominent at
torney, and declares that she would
rather be Mabel than Dave Yester-
day she was rather foppish, delicate
featured, fair-skinned young man. To
day she has made pompadour in
place Of the part in her brown hair,
d0nned shirt waist and skirt, and is
a prepossessing young woman.
Mabel was cabin boy on the steam
er Ruth when her sex was suspected,
and she left the boat at Moundsyille.
That was eight days ago. She has
been in Wheeling and vicinity ever
since, and was spending Saturday at
fishing camp below Benwood, when
an officer from that city placed her
under arrest. The first tears she shed
since putting on male attire were flow-
ing from her blue eyes and the SYM
pathy of Mrs. Boyce was aroused.
When she heard the story her woman's
heart rebelled at the idea Of the young
girl being confined in cell. She was
permitted to take her to her home,
and there she will remain until other
arrangements can be made.
| Mabel was born in Bradford. Pa,
the daughter of John A. McElhaney,
now living at Pennsboro, w. Va. She
has brothers living at Franklin, Pa,
Somerset. Ky, and Cameron, w. va.
Her mother died when she was 8, and
| for three years she was in a hospital.
Since then she has been compelled to
earn her own livelihood. She worked
in Buffalo during the Pan-American ex-
position then went to Tennessee. Re-
| turning to Sistersville, w. Va, in
April. she went to Elk Fork, where a
brother was then living. At country
store she bought her first suit, telling
the merchant it was for her brother,
who was about the same size. She
had attended the Ellis Glenn trial for
two days in ParlSersburg, but declares
this had nothing to do with her deter
mination to masquerade as boy. She
says she had tried to go through life
as girl and found her sex hind,
rance. She had strong arms, was will
ling to work and felt she could make
more money as a boy.
An uncle was the first person she
succeeded in deceiying. She met him
