The ordinary marriage customs OF
the orient are reversed in Thibet.
Instead of the men having a plurality
of wives, the women have a plurality
of husbands. Lately a photograph Of
one of these women, a rather pretty
young oma Of not more than 81.
who was the proud possessor of four
husbands, was seen; she looked fairly
cheerful and was seen to be rather nice

COMMENT,

1t is really comforting tc know that
verdicts against c~onspirators and en-
bezzlers are upheld in the United
States courts. The verdict against
Maohen in the postal conspiracy, and
the conviction Of til 0 Matthews bank
wrecker, Johu Fl. Wood, are instances
in p int. Thus far in New Jersey
neither the State courts nor the Fed
eral District court have been able to
convict Twining and Cornell so that
either OF them stays convicted. There
is a probability, now that this case
has been carried to the United States
Circuit Court, in Philadelphia, that
a decision may be arrived a., one way
or the other. 1t has been very
pointedly remarked, in other places
than New Jersey, that ii ''speoulat-
ing, swindling, faith breaking, trust
betraying bankers arc net punished,
the whole fabric of modern business
credit is endangered" Ii might we'll
be added that the longer the law is
used TO delay and defeat the ends of
justice, the less tho punishment of
bank wreckers is likely to be and the
less the deterrent effect upon those
who contemplate wreeking banks.
Swift justice is worth much more
than the dilatoIy kind. Newark

The Inter s tate Commerce Commits
sion's annual report. which is made
public today, gives some interesting
railroad statistics. Concerning acct.
dents, it shows that in 1904 there were
As, 266 employees injured and 3 367
killed. These figures show m iucreRse
over 1903 and 1909 In 1904 there
were S,077 passengers injured and 3Sl
killed. Compared wifi, 1908 there il
an increase of sixty four and one half
per cent. in number Of passengers
killed, There were during this neriod
ten unusually disastrous accidents,
eight of which were collisions, The
number of deaths resulting from these
ten accidents was about twenty-bh three
per cent. of the total number killed in
all the train accidents of the year,
which comprise over 5000 collisions
and 1900 derailments.

tive measure for the prevention of
collision is agaln emphasized by the
commission. Compulsory use of the
block system is again urged. In 1893
the safety appliance act was passed,
and it was made compulsory for rail
roads to use tho automatic coupler and
air brake, and the same reasons apply
or tho introduction OF a system for the
prevention Of collisions. Considered
strictly Oh reehnieal-merits, the block
system, tho commission regards ae
the acme of simplicity. 1t is the
simple embodiment of the theory that
no traine shall ever DO started from q

CLEVELAND. O., Dec. 81. Mrs.
Cassie L, Chadwick was brought into
bankruptcy court here yesterday after
noon in the bankruptcy proceedings
against her, but was excused from tes-
tifying because of illness. Whether
Mrs. Chadwick viii again be sum-
moned will depend on counsel for Re
2ceiver Nathan Loeser. whose attor-
neys are expected to take up the mat
ter. Should Mrs. Chadwick again be
brought into court it is unlikely that
she will give any testimony. If she
does it will be against the advice of
her attorney. who refuses even to allow
her, to be sworn as Il witness.
Mrs. Chadwick was brought into the
courtroom by several deputy mar
shals.
Mrs. Chadwick became more nervous
as the attorneys argued and seemed
on the verge of fainting.@ Soon after
the announcement was made that she
was excused she returned to the Jail

lie conditions among the Moros
throughout the department are gcner-

adds:
"The establishment of civil govern
meDt and the extension ovcr them of
certain laws aud regulations have
caused some excitement and at times
serious resistance, especially the law
prohibiting slavery. In some sections
active hostility has been engcndeled by
our presence, especially in the Lake
Lanao region, whore almost constant
murderous attacks on workingnien aud
soldiers were the rule until the effects
of the recent expeditions to the Taipca

DEMOCRATS LAST STAND.

publican mayor to succeed o democrat
and the voters OF tho first and even

the voters, speaks plainly that the
