Passengers. Right to Pull the Bell

{St Louis starr
1,dpe Tracy. of the Dayton-Street 70
lice Court. Saturday. ruled that a citizen
had the perfect right to pull the register
cord Of a street-car. or any coiu W ioPe
he saw. when he had first siShaiieo 10 ti'e
conductor to stop the car IN proper
manner and his requests mad oeen UNI
needed.
In making the ruling he released Albert
Kennedy, one-legged man. VINO was
arrested Friday night at the instance OF
Conductor Emile hirsch OF the 1elie soii-
avenue line. on the charge of ringing UP
cash fares.
Kennedy was DESTROYS Of alighting at
cass and Jefferson avenues according to
his testimony on the witness stand he
pressed the button to notify Conductor
Hirsch to stop the car at that point, but
although the conductor heard the bell he
failed to have the car stopped
Becoming angered at the treatment
accorded him Kennedy then pulled thu
register of the car, thinking, he claims.
that he was pulling the bell cord.
In doing so he rang up several fares
which, so angered Conductor Hirsch that
he summoned Police Officer Cogan. who
arrested Kennedy for peace disturbance
Judge Tracy in dismissing the defend
ants suit said: Il think you were justi-
fable in ringing the register cord. or any
other citizen would have been under the
circumstances The testimony Of various
passengers on the car that YOU first push
ed the button for the conductor to stop.
Which request was ignored by him. causes
me to believe that you were in the right
in the difficulty.
You are discharged.

EGGS ARE SCARCE.

There IS scarcity Of eggs. Not within
ten or twelve years has hen fruit been
SO absent on the market. This condition
Is all the more remarkable owing to the
present price. "a cents wholesale, which
is high enough to attract egg shippers
from all over the State and the imme-
diate South.
The situation indicates that the hens
themselves are few. and those that have
not ueen dcvoured have decided not to
lay The farmers are In dilemma and
are trying all manner Of schemes to coax
the hens to keep up the good work so
long as prices are high and some rustics
are gong to extreme methods. and are
feeding their chickens on chopped beef
heads.
The worst is yet to come. 1t is very I'M
usual that eggs should be so scarce at
!. s season when winter has hardly set
in. a Cary street commission merchant
said that it would be no surprise If eggs
by nid-winter were sold as high as 35 or
A. cents and there IS every prospect that
they will be very Ugh in the early spring.
The estimate of the normal daily re-
ccipts Of eggs is placed at from 1zo to
$50 cases. or about t.5G0 dozen. The pres
ent receipts. however. are only about 70
cases. or scarcely enough to satisfy the
demand.
The Beef Trust, it is said, has much to
do with the egg shortage. The price Of
meats by that concern has almost been
doubled. and farmers. In self-defense,
have been eating Their poultry. This is
true the country over. as everywhere
there is scarcity of hens.
One other reason is more direct. Farms
during the last few years have been de-
nuded OF the masculine element. The
healthy young fellows have left the home
Of their fathers and have sought for
tune in the large cities. The cities have
grown faster than the population of the
country warranted while the farms have
suffered. The producing element in this
country has not grown as fast as the con-
Stunning element. SO that now when good
times are prevalent and everybody has
good appetite the farms cannot supply
the demand, and this has raised the price
Of food products.
People it is said. are beginning to grasp
this view. and a marked exodus from
the cities is predicted. The country de-
ponds on the farmer. and should prices
remain high agricultural pursuits will
hold out many inducements to young men
who can farm on intelligent lines
There are some cold storage eggs now
on the market. These products sell for
about 2 cents under the regular market
price, except in cases where they are mis-
represented and sold as fresh stock.

Insurance Against Surgical Opern-

(HarperS Weekly.)
In England people of moderate means
are beginning to insure themselves
against surgical operations. The plan Is
that subscribers who pay an annual fee
snail be entitled either TO free admit
lance to hospital or nursing at home
and free operation or to a fixed sun,
paid down to defray the cost of opera
ton if one becomes necessary. In Eng
land. as here, the cost of surgical repairs
to the human body has become oppreS-
sively great to persons who just manas.

viousy poor get a great deal of excellent
surgical and medical treatment in hospi
tails and elsewhere for nothing, but for
the next class above them serious III
ness-especially if it involves an opera
tion--is almost ruinous. 1t would seem as
if the time was near when societies for
insurance agains, specialists might be
profitably organized in the larger Anleri-
can cities. The specialist has come to be
a very mportant-indeed an indispensa-
ble-instituton, especially 10 families in
which there are children. The office of
the family doctor has now become sirnpr-
fed 10 the task OF coming in and telling
