In the demurrer it was contended that the com- ments Professor Triggs complained Of were not Iihelous This demurrer, after being over- ruled in special term. is sustained by the appellate division.
 In its opinion. which Is written by Justice Ingraham the court points out that there Is a wide difference between libel and good hu- mored criticism. saying;

 New Decatur, Feb. 1L-(Special. )--Hon. B. 8. Conner of Birmingham. a candidate for the presidency of the Alabama Rail- road Commission, and w. B. Nesbit, a well known business man of Birtning- ham, addressed a large crowd of busi- ness men of the Decaturs in the Commer- cial Club rooms here yesterday morning at Il o'clock on the question of freight rates for Alabama.
 Both thought that the railroad compa- nies and especially, tine Southern Rail- road, had been discriminating against Alabama in the matter of freight rates. They compared the freight rates of Georgia with those of Alabama, and showed that in Georgia the freight rate on cotton for a given distance was II cents as against 26 cents per hundred for a like distance in Alabama. They also showed that the freight rate on wheat in Georgia was three cents a bush- el less than it is in Alabama.

WASHINGTON DAY BY DAY.
Justice Brewer Discovers a New
 Rule of Official Et'uuette.

Rule of Official Etiquette.
 Washington Special to New York World.
 At his daughters wedding the other morning Justice Brewer received prac- ticaI lesson in the new official etiquette As the bridal party vanished down the church aisle the Justice left his pew and made for side door with a view to get ting his carriage promptly and reaching home in time to get out of his hat and coat before the arrival of the guests bld- den to the breakfast.
 Observing that, no one followed him ne turned inquiringly and beckoned some what impatiently to the occupants of the family pew. Mrs. Brewer put out re- straining hand and clutched his coat. As she drew him back within the incos- ure she pointed out to him with a motion of her head the gentleman and a lady standing in front pew on the opposite aisle. No one nowadays may leave an assemblege of which the President or members of his family form a part until the White House people have taken leave.
 Senator Stewart. who is one of the re- cent and more or less venerable bride grooms of the Senate. has a very pre- cocious little stepdaughter who Is much attached to him. They are frequently seen on the street together hand in hand and make rather an interesting picture the Senator being a good reproduction Of the ideal Santa Claus. A few nights asc he took the little lady to a show whicf advertises itself as polite vaudeville.

IMPRESSED WITH AMERICA.
Noted Foreigners at Philadelphia To-
day-Amazed Over Train Service


A dispatch from Philadelphia last night
says: The inter- parliamentary union
made up of members Of the English law
making body and the parliaments of Eu-
rope, arrived here today the guests of the
United States, in a tour of the continent
There were 252 persons in the party which
left New York in two Pennsylvania rail-
road special trains at 9:45 o'clock this
morning. The trains, equipped and stored
under the auspices of the government were
entirely new and no detail was omitted
which would make for the comfort of the
distinguished visitors.
The run from New York to Philadelphia
was without incident In spite of the fact
that much of the time occupied by the trip
to the Rocky mountains will be devoted
to pleasure, the serious purpose of the
foreign legislators was evident from the
beginning. The twelfth conference of the
union is to be held at St Louis this week
Its purpose is to discuss international arbi-
tration on a scale broader and more eff
Gent than that afforded by The Hague
tribunal. An effort will be made to Sc
cure another international arbitration con-
sress within a year If possible, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt, as was announced in these
dispatches yesterday, will be requested to
sponsor the proposed congress.
There were many earnest discussions in
progress during the two hour run, and the
proceedings of the conference We're the
burden of them
The foreigners were apparently much i'm
pressed with American methods of travel
and EXPLANATIONS of amaZement at the
gorgeousness of the trains at their dis
posal were frequent.
Upon the arrival of the party a COM
mittee of Philadelphia citizens, appointed
by Mayor Weaver. met the trains and the
guests were hurried away in carriages
to luncheon at the new llevueStra tford,
which was thrown open for the occasion.
The afternoon program included visit
to Independence Hail. an inspection of the
great locomotive works and drive through
Paramount Park, with dinner al the Coun-
fry Climb

Worlds Royalty to Be Invited.

A cablegram from Berlin says: The we'd
ding of Crown Prince Frederick William
and the Duchess Cecilia of Mechlenburg-
Schwern will take place in Berlin,
where the visiting members of royal fam
lilies can be entert aimed better than at the
brides home. The marriage will probably
take place early in the new year.
Representatives of all the crowned heads
of Europe will be present at the wedding.
and there is an expressed hope among
prominent Germans that President Roose-
Welt may be able to attend.
One wing of the royal palace at Hanover
has been undergoing reconstruction for
year, and is now being refurnished and re-
decorated sumptuously. Trainloads of cost
ly paintings, Gobelins and stately furniture
have disappeared behind the palace gates.
and the Hanoverians are convinced that
Crown Prince Frederick William, after his
marriage, will be promoted and transferred
from the First Garde de Corps to the Royal
Uhlan Regiment stationed at Hanover, and
will be assigned the palace there as a resi-
dence.
Such an arrangement would be regarded
as further evidence of the emperor's desire
to win the hearts of such of the Hanover
ians as are still unwilling to forgive Prus-
STA for displacing the Cumberlands from
the throne.

cts ALL GOING ONE Way
Hartman Says No One Wants the Re-
publicans Out

A dispatch from New York says: E. H
Hartman, president of the Union Pacific
railroad, who returned from Europe last
Friday, talked encouragingly Monday of
general conditions and the outlook for
business. He said he expected improve
ment in Industrial affairs. When asked
is the recent little rate war on wire
nails between the Union Pacific and the
Missouri Pacific indicated that big traffic
war was impending in the west and that
serious trouble might follow between the
Hartman and Gould interests, he smiled and
said he was not aware of any trouble. He
was also asked If the reduced prices for
rails would increase the demand by the
railroads. To this he answered Yes"
When asked if the Union Pacific intended
to buy the Alton he said in a jocular way
that he wasn't sure the treasury could
stand it.
Regarding business conditions he said
Il have told people in Europe that neither
they nor appreciate the situation in
America; that the distribution of ca ital is
such that have become more conserva-
tive; that now there would be less wildcat
ting and fewer wildcats NOWADAYS the
situation is such that we get correct
Information from some responsible source

nificant thing now is stability"
Then the boom is over, you think? he
was asked
1t doesn't Seem so to me- I don't
mean a boom-I think there is quiet ap-
probation in prices going on. There Will be
a steady demand now, instead of the rush
of two years ago. AS for crops there
could not be enough damage now to either
cotton or corn to- make them less than the
average -.- -~-- ~,
AS to politics. he said it was going

How about state politics.

Accused of bigamy. released from custody

married the woman who caused his arrest.

Chetlain's court Metcalf married Mrs Lucy
Metcalf in 1882. They separated several
years ago. and Metcalf who is fifty-three,
won Miss Lucy Rounds, who is twenty.
Then Metcalf brought suit for divorce
against his wife. Through misunder-
standing, he asserts, he thought the decree
had been granted, and married Mss
Rounds.
Mrs. Metcalf No. l knew Miss Rounds.
and wife No. 2 soon learned her husba nd
had not been legally divorced. Her rela-
