CANNOT COLLECT DAMAGES.
An Injured Railway Passenger Who
Travels on a Pass.

The Supreme Court yesterday again de-
cided that persons travelling on railroads
may not secure damages in case of acci-
cision went to the extent of applying the
principle to such passengers who are not
familiar with the contract usually printed
on the back of passes.
The case decided was that of John D.
Boering and his wife Mearling Boering
against the Chesapeake Beach Railway
company. Mrs. Boering was injured in an
accident on the road while travelling on a
pass issued to herself and her husband con-
tanning the usual stipulation of exemption
from damage. 1t was urged that she had
not been made aware of the stipulation and
that even If not liable on general principles
the company must be so on account of her
ignorance. The court did not accept this
view.
The opinion was delivered by Justice

given permission to ride In the coaches of

was bound to know the conditions thereof.
She may not through the intermediary of

tons attached to it are made known. The

Business Depression in Sheffield.

In writing to the Department of Com
merce and Labor from Sheffield. England,
Z. S. Consul Daniels says that the de-
pressed feeling with which almost every
branch of trade in Sheffield closed the
business of 1903 still exists. Mr.. Daniels
says that it is calculated that there has
never been a lighter tonnage going out
OF Sheffield, even at this time or year,
and the situation is made worse by the
absence of queries which might be ex-
pected to lead to further orders. Makers
of heavy forgings for marine machinery
are hard hit by the decline in the British
demand for steam shipbuilding, the les
sened demand being coupled with an in
fux of German steel forgingS at about
two-thirds the price the British forgings
have hitherto commanded, and in conse-
auence Sheffields forging shops are
closed

al it was there that most of the fric- tion of late years, between the Indians and the whites, has occurred.
 Several days ago Frank Mead, gen. eral supervisor of Indian reservations, visited the south half of the Mcdowell rescl vation to inaugurate the prel m- inaries for buying out the settlers. He was accompanied by George F. Wilson, of Washington, D. C.. 9 special agent of the land office. J. R. Meskimons. super intendent of irrigation for the Indian service. and three men whom he had appointed as appraisers of the property of settlers.
 Though his instructions did not speci- fy respecting the app aiseTs, he thought it only fair to select one man to repre- sent each of the interests concerned. J. H. LangstCn was therefore chosen to represent the county, George H. Re h. rock was chosen to represent the set tiers, ard Francis Mccormick, clerk a. the Indian school, was chosen to repre- sent the government. These appraisers spent several days there and placed a valuation on all the holdings of set tiers. including two Mexican settlers who had been left out of the appraiee- ment of the north half, and the inter- ests of the county, which are school house and similar property, and which will in due season be paid for also. Engineer Meskimons was taken along to measure the capacity of the canal and estimate in a general way the quantity and cost of removing the diff | ferent kinds Of rock and soil in its con- struction. This was because the set tiers had an equity in the ditch that was hard to establish, the claims re- specting the cost of it's construction be- ing widely divergent.
 The appraisements have all been
 sent to Washington for approval and in
 a short time it is expected the goveI n-
 ment will be ready to settle everything
 and turn the rest of the reservation lands over to the Indians.

THE EVOLUTION OF READY MADE
 CLOTHING.

Many of us can remember the time when rcady-made clothing, shoes. shirts, gloves, etc, were stunned like social outcasts, and practically every mans wardrobe was made to O.. der. That was before the advent of mod ern methods.
 Now all is changed. While here an1 there in some lines still exist reminders of the cid order of things, for the m st part ready-made apparel is today far removed from the clothing of formSr days.
 We are living now ir the scientific age, and no branch of industry has e. ceived greater impetus in this direction than the making of men's clothes. Al fred Benjamin & Co, of New To k, were the pioneers in this evolution, and stil rema the leading makers of men'i high grade, ready-for-service apparel in America, which is equivalent to say ; in- in the world.
