KILLING OF HART MANN.

Berlin, April 24.-The government
was interpellated to-day by members
of the Center party regarding the kill
ing of an artilleryman named Hart
man, by Naval Cadet Hussener, at
Essen, on Good Friday last, because
the former did not salute the latter
properly. Herr Stoezel. Center party,
said the view prevailed among the
population that soldiers were trained
to such a conception of their instruc-
tons as Hussener exhibited. The
question was universally asked, why
not compel soldiers and marines when
off duty to leave their arms in the
barracks.
Admiral Won Tirpitz, in his reply,
said:
Il protest most earnestly against the
insinuation that young officers are ed
ucated to cruel behavior towards, their
subordinates. If we forbid men off
duty to carry arms, where will you set
the limit? Every time a man leaves
barracks? Then you must take the
arms from the whole army. The in
cident is profoundly regretted through
out the navy, which is the best guar
antee that there will be no repetition

MASTER OF EIGHT LANGUAGES.
Yet He Makes Money Walking on
His Head.
From the PhiladeIphia Press

From the Philadelphia Press
Paris, March 31.-A1l Paris is inter-
ested just now in a man named Bap-
tiste, who is known as Thomme qui
marche sur la tete, and is giving daily
exhibitions at the Casino de Paris He
is a Dane, and boasts that his ancestors
have been acrobats for 200 years.
He was considered half witted-he
tells you so himself-in the nursery.
for he learned to stand on his head and
to walk that way long before he dis
covered the use of his legs. His faith
er was circus proprietor. and the lit
tie fellow was soon on the boards. How
ever, he soon got tired of what his
turn" became, a sort of normal knock
about acrobat, and so preserved the
traditions of his family.
He is only 20, has travelled every
where, and can speak huently eight
different languages, an accomplishment
far more sensational than the head
demonstrations of his childhood.
1t is only the last fortnight that he
has taken to his little nursery tricks
again. To please a friend the other
day he hoped along table on his head
and the friend promptly took him to a
manager who as promptly engaged him
for public performances. The newspa-
pers invited him to their offices, and
he skipped about-always unaided by
the help of his arms--on sundry edito-
rial tables.
He places little cap of padded cloth
on his head, filings his feet in the air,
brandishes his legs to steady himself
and then hops.

STUCK 'TWIxT PILLAR AND PEW.
Stout Woman In a Sorry Plight in
st. PauTs Chapel.
From the New York SUI

From the New York Sun.
A stout parishioner, with a mind and
will of her own, got stuck between a
pew and the base of a column in St.
Paul's Chapel yesterday noon and es-
capped imprisonment after violent
struggles that attracted the attention
of the whole congregation.
The text had been thanks be to God,
which giveth us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ" and the Rev.
Mr. Kemp had remarked in the course
of the sermon that many proofs of
the resurrection had been given from
the time it took place till now" The
omission of the enumeration of these
proofs seemed to disappoint the stout
listener, who occupied a front pew.
AT any rate during the 'sevenfold
amen she motioned her daughter to
slip out. Not wishing to inconvenience
the others in the pew, the latter made
for the narrow gap, between the pill
lar and pew front, opening into the
north aisle.
Although tall and slim, even she
found the passage too narrow, but by
prying herself up on the pew front she
managed to squeeze through. She ac-
complished the feat with such dex-
terty that her mother didn't realize
the danger.
In any case, when the mothers turn
came, she didn't get as far into the
gap as the simmer woman did, and
grew red. Then she adopted the pry-
ing process. Just as she'd risen half
way up her arms suddenly lost their
strength and she slipped down into the
vicelike aperture. The flush on her
face grew scarlet.
She tried to pry herself UP again,
but her elbows refused to straighten.
Her toe-tips dangled helpless on the
floor. Her appealing glance swept
daughter, preacher, congregation.
Finally, just as her masculine neigh
bors were trying to summon up the
moral courage to cross over to her aid,
her lips closed in desperation and her
hands clenched pillar and pew corner
in obstinate grip.
There was a wriggle, a rip, and a
gasp. Then mother and daughter, re-
united, rustled hastily out, while the
choir began the opening words of
"Nunc Dimittis.'

ROADS RESTRAINED
FROM DISCRIMINATING AGAINST
SMALL SHIPPERS.
THE GOVERNMENT STEPS IN.
SECURES INJUNCTION UNDER THE
ELKINS LAW.

Right of the Government to Make
the Cause of Small Shippers,
whose Individual Injuries Are In
finitesimaI, Its Own Is Recognized.
Judge GrOsscup Entered the Order
of Restraint-Says the Government
Has Right to Bring Action in
Equity.
Chicago, April 24.-Judge Grosscup
to-day entered an order in the United
states Circuit Court of Appeals, en-
Joining six railroad companies from
discriminating against small shippers
in the Western territory. The decision
ts especially important as being the
first under the new Elkins law.
The government, according to the
decision, is entitled to the injunction
against the offending railroads, under
the Interstate commerce act. as well
as the Elkins law.
The ruling applies to fourteen rail-
roads, which were covered by proceed
ings instituted in the Federal court.
Six of these companies were defen-
dants in the local court; the others
are under the jurisdiction of the Kan
sas City Federal Court. Judge Gross
cup announced that he and Judge
Phillips were of one mind relative to
all the points involved, and that the
latter would render a like decision.
The decision, which was given orally,
holds that the government has the
right to bring an action in equity to
restrain railroad companies from dis
eliminating either by furnishing lower
rates or giving rebates to favored ship
pers. 1t further declares that while
each injured citizen has a right to such
relief in his own behalf, in cases like
those under consideration. the injured
persons are so numerous and the In
Jury to each is so ininitesimal that it
is the duty of the government to act
for them under the power specifically
conferred by the statutes. The Elklns
law is held to be simply declaratory of
the substantive rights which existed
before, and an injunction would lie I'M
der the interstate commerce act.
