POTTER COCKTAIL.
Latest Thing in Drinks Named After
the Bishop.

New York, Aug. 6.-With an extra
barkeeper hired to keep UP with the
sudden increase in trade, the Subway
tavern, the model saloon in which
Bishop Potter led the singing of the
doXOlogy and made a speech on Tues
day, was still booming merrily today.
In fact, 1.-The Bishops Place" as it
is now called in the neighborhood,
bids fair to become a fad. Persons
have been coming to it from all over
the city, some in cabs. And one mer-
ry party even came swooping down
on the place in an automobile.
So far has the reputation of the
place gone that the manager has been
invited by the chairman of Farmers
day at the st. Louis fair to make a
speech to the farmers on that occa-
sion.
A man walked into a saloon this
morning with a thirst that might well
defy a Niagara of the rumshop's out
put
in a voice that seemed strained
through shavings and sawdust.
''Come again." responded the bar
keeper.
Can fix you up on a Hannah Elias,
a Subway or even Tin Roof, but

The thirsty one drank long and

like a benediction.

day, but it was mingled with some

STOCK PASSES ARE BARRED.
Passengers Complain at Riding With
Men Who Handle Live Stock Cars.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Persons travelling
on passes issued to live stock shippers
cannot ride in sleeping or chair cars
hereafter. An agreement to this effect
was reached yesterday by the execu-
tive committee of the Western Pas
Senger association. 1t was shown that
other passengers had objected to pay
ing. an extra price for riding in chair
cars and having for seatmates men
who are returning from trip made to
Chicago in a freight car loaded with
hogs, cattle or sheep. In many cases
live stock passes are sold to scalpers,
and the passenger officials declare that
anybody buying such passes shall not
be allowed to ride in chair car under
any conditions.

THINKS TIA CONSPIRACY.
lola Cement Company Protests Against
Damage Claim.

lola, Ks, Aug. 6.-The lola Port
land Cement company have today filed
petition with Judge Smith asking
for a temporary Injunction to prevent
Thomas Hempy from having any writ
of execution issued to collect a judg-
ment he holds against the company
until the case can be heard on an
application for a permanent injurc-
ton in the district court.
The petition to the district court
which is a long one, charges in effect
that the verdict was procured by fraud.
1t says that Thomas Hempy the per-
son injured, and Jessie Beebe, the only
eye witness to the injury conspired to-
gether to obtain the verdict. Beebe
is alleged to have sworn falsely or to
have been mistaken in his statement.
At the time the company claims they
did not know that this testimony was
false, but have since learned it.
It is charged that Hempy purpose
ly concealed from the physicians the
true extent of his physical condition
testimony that aided him to procure
the verdict. They assert that instead
of being permanently injured he is
able to perform the same duties he
performed before the accident and
that he can walk well without crutch-
es and frequently does when not OBJ
served by relatives and friends.
He has applied for work at his trade
as a machinfst and is not totally dis
abled as the jury believed. For his
total disabilities the jury said in the
special questions that they gave him
the sum of $9,450.
