s.aiis osttin. Scarce In Paris.

Some alarm is expressed by certain
Paris epicures because the supply of
snails of the finest quality seems to be
falling off To a serious extent. This
Apprehension, however. will cause no
distress upon an extended scale, as the
taste for the deliberate creature that
carries his house upon his back has not
been worldwide. In fact, il has never
gained much ground outside of the
Latin race, and gourmets who have ex-
tol!ed the snail as a table delicacy of
the most desirable sort have not made
. long list. But snails are clean feed
ers. Why should there be anywhere
a prejudice against them among the
eaters OF Holsters and crabs. Of styled
pigs and of the bulging legs of google
eyed bullfrogs?-Chicago Chronicle.

says:
A suit was filed in the district court
here today asking the appointment Of

lists between E. w. Snyder of Leaven-
worth and the eastern stock and bond
holders, to keep him and the other

ROCK ISLAND is IN.
Railroads Are Playing One Brother
hood Against Another.

Chicago. Nov. 10.-In order to save
themselves from the effects of a possih
strike by the Brotherhood of Railwa
Trainmen, four of the Is Chicago rail-
roads today entered into agreements
with the Switcbmen's union of North
America. recently organized rival of
the Brotherhood.
c. L. Edel. an official of the Switch
mems organization, said today he had
secured agreements with the Chicago
Great Western. the Terminal Transfer
company, the Illinois Central railroad
and the Rock Island road on a basis of
221A cents an hour for switchmen and
2312 cents for foremen. These increases
were inserted in the proposition origi-
nally made by the companies to the men
and are less than the straight cent
raise demanded by the brotherhood. In
case the brotherhood men go out, as
threat the railways expect to be
able to operate with the men belonging
to the rival organization.

THAT 1O'PER CENT LIMIT.
Topeka Certainly Has Not Reached

There has been considerable said in re-
gard to the bonded Indebtedness being so
large in Topeka that it would be impossi-
Bile, under the 10 per cent limit law, to
issue more bonds for paving purposes next
year
full examination of the records by City
Clerk J. H. Squires shows that Topeka
can issue 1852. CIT in bonds next year
without exceeding the limit 1t seems to
be doubtful whether there really is any
law limiting the bonded indebtedness to 10
per cent of the assessed valuation. The
city attorney has hunted forit Industrious
~. but has failed to find it.
Until the law is produced, it is fair to
assume that it does not exist.
If it does exist. it is doubtful whether it
refers to Improvement bonds alone, or
whether it includes general bonds and
school bonds. 1t is not likely that it in
cudes all of these. but even il 1t includes
general bonds and Improvement bonds the
city still has over $162. 900 margin. This
year improvement bonds to the amount
of s134.00 were issued.
Today another paving petition was filed,
and if the city councilmen have the cour-
age of their convictions, it will probably
be turned down. The petition calls for
paving on Taylor street between Twelfth
and Huntoon. Thirteen out of sixteen and
a half lots owned by residents are repre-
sented on the petition, but the pavement
lies along the east side of Huntoon park,
and so the city at large will have to pay
half of the cost. That is the feature of
the case that will be likely to defeat the
petition.
The petition was circulated by A. D.
Robbins and calls for a 80 foot pavement
of Lawrence or Capital City brick, with
Colorado red sandstone curbing.

Coming to the connection of Cornish
with the case, Mr.. Black declared that
he was not arguing the punishment OF
any one, but he believed it was his duty
he, himself saw it.
There was a crime and there was a
motive he said, land the motive points
to Harry S. Cornish"
Mr. Black recited from the records
the story of Cornish's divorce, his meet
ing with Mrs. Rogers. then separated
from her husband, and her late di-
vorce.
Mrs. Adams. Mrs. Rogers mother,
was good woman, Mr.. Black said. 10
you think she looked with comolaisance
on the conditions that prevailed?
There is motive, the great consuming
motive force for all things The mo-
tive Cornish had against the life of Mrs.
Adams compared to the motive Mo-
llineux had against the life of Cornish
was as the volcano of Martinique to the
tapping of waves against the statue of
liberty in our own barbor.''
Mr.. Black called attention to the evil
dence given that the purchaser of the
bottle-holder in which the poison was
sent, said he wanted the holder to
match the silver on a lady's toilet table,
and from that he argued that the pur-
chaser knew the pattern of Mrs. Roger s
silver He also reviewed the testimony
of Koch. the letter box man. who said
the renter of the private box wore a
brown overcoat. Cornish denied while
on the stand that he had any overcoat
that winter, but Mr.. Black read from the
last trial to show that he had had one
and that it was brown.
Cornish, who was in court, appeared
to be little concerned by Mr.. Blacks line
of argument. Once or twice. when his
name was mentioned, he laughed aloud
Ex-Governor Black touched lightly or
the testimony given by Mrs. Stephenson
and argued that extraordinary as it ap-
/ peared, everything she said was within
the bounds of possibility He reminded
the jury that it was in reply to th'
prosecution and not to any questions
from the defense that Mrs. Stephenson
partially identified Cornish as the maj
whom she saw in the postofice.

of the Memorial Presbyterian church,
one of Brooklyn's best known ministers,
has been stricken suddenly, in his pull
pit, just as he was beginning a prayer.
His collapse was caused by acute indi-

being serious.
The church was crowded by a fash
ionable congregation when the minister
was overcome. Several of those sitting
near the pulpit sprang to his aid and
caught him as he fell. A doctor who
was present, worked over him Is min
utes before restoring consciousness. The
minister was taken to his home and the
congregation, which had been greatly
excited, was dismissed.
