GOOD WAY TO MAKE ENEMIES.
Southern Rail Road Holds Up Corpse
unreasonable Demands of Agent.
charlotte Observer. }

every now and them suggested
Charlotte lawyer. you see suit that
makes it perfectly clear why the South
ern railway is thoroughly unpopular with
the ordinary jury" An then he put re-
porter in the way of seeing the papers
in the very interesting case of w. l..
Minish, of Caldwell county, against the
Southern Railway, in which Minish was
an easy victor in the suit tried in the
Superior court by Judge Shaw.
Minish had very sick wife whom he
took to Baltimore for treatment in the
Johns Hopkins Hospital At Hickory he
bought one 1000 miles book for his wife
and one for himself. This was on March
10th. He left his wife in the hospital,
where she died on April 18th. He knew
for some days before her death that she
could not live and he wrote to Mr.. S. H.
Hardwick, general passenger agent of tne
Southern, asking if he could bring his
wife's body home on the mileage book
Mr.. Hardwick replied 1.-THE letter was pro-
duced in COURT, stating that the mileage
would be all the transportation that was
needed for the body.
After his wife died Minish paid fare on
the Pennsylvania railroad to Washington,
and there the coffin was taken from the
train and placed on the trucks. He went
to the agent or representative of the
Southern Ga Mr. Bishop and offered the
mileage book for fare for the body to
Hickory. Bishop said:
"You can't do it. 1t is against the rules
to carry a corpse on a mileage book. The
rate of fare for a corpse is three cents
mile, while in mileage book fare costs
not more than 21a cents a mile
Minish said: well, there are 600 miles
in this book. Just tear off enough miles
at 21z cents to cover the distance to Hick
DRY at cents"
Bishop said no.
Il begged him., Minish declared on the
witness stand, "to take the whole mileage
book and give me enough money to carry
home the body of my wife, and he re-
fused"
Minsh explained the contents of the
letter he had received from Mr.. Hardwick.
Bishop turned a deaf ear.
Minish who was desperate in suffering,
told Bishop that he would make the South
ern answer him in the courts of North
Carolina. Bishop turned and walked away.
There Minish was stranded in Wash
ington strange city, with only few dol
lars in his pockets, and his wife's body
held up like a piece of inanimate freight
And all the time he had in his posses
sion a letter from the general passenger
agent Of the Southern, telling him he could
do just exactly what the local agent re
fused to let him do

You're dream. and to dreams you

But no angels could open heavens portal
With love half as pure as my own!

And sunlight and shadows shall cease,
And God, in His wisdom estranges

CHICAGO WOMEN SMOKING.
Use of cisarets Is Ever on the In

Chicago, April 1.-tSad to say the
use of cigarets by women appears to be

you how l happen TO gain special in
fom1a tion on this subject.
among my patients is a society
woman who once had pretty teeth
found that she was spelling the beauty
OF her teeth by the use OF cigarets.
They We're badly discolored at the
front. Then told her that she would
have to stop smoking or sacrifice the
charm of one OF her most attractive
features. She frankly confessed that
she had been using a meerschaum
holder, which she had colored to a dark
mahogany with nicotine.
"She added that smoking was not
uncommon among women who played
bridge whist, while many of the young
er set dallied with the cigaret habit,
tho they had not yet become cigar
ct fiends. I think that women often
regard the cigaret as becoming. They
imagine that it gives a touch THAT is
fascinating. But when shown that 1t

beauty 1t is generally beauty that wins.

One dealer says the number OF WON
en- affected by the cigaret craze is as
tonshing. Most of the women use Inn
ported cigarets which some one said
are "a mixture of dreams and wicked
ness, with flavor OF tobacco" The
confirmed smokers, however, use
cheaper grade.
Many of the smart set have pretty
cigaret cases made of gum metal and
studded with jewels. Another conceit
Is to have golden tips and initials on
each cigaret. This is supposed to
look smart. But even the Turkishvand
Egyptian packages must have prize
coupons dn them, as the women will
Ike no other.
AS for the attitude of men toward
these smoke ladies'" some take toler-
ant views, while others are unable to
reconcile the cigaret habit with their
ideals OF womanly grace and perfec-
tion.

Liquor Sellers and Church Members.
New York SUM
The admission of wine grower and
Wine dealer to membership in Brook
lyn Congregational church has provoked
lii the communion discussion of which
the designations of the assistant pastor.
Il deacon and three other members are
the result No other accusation Is
made against the character of the man
save that he is in the business OF
growing grapes and selling fermented
wines. His general moral character is
said to be beyond reproaeh, and "a his
religious belief and life he is in full
accord with the doctrines and moral
requirements of the church.
The broad question of the consisten-
cy of liquor dealing with the Christian
low does not enter into this case. Only
the discipline of the individual church
under the system of Congregationalism
particularly is involved. Like club,
such a church has a right to make its
own rules for admission to it's mem
bership, and nobody has reason for OBJ
lection If they exclude him. 1t is a
voluntary association, and nobody has
legal rights o'admission to it which
transcend the authority of its rules,
Religious and spiritual rights are an
other matter. The regulation or prohi-
biton of the liquor traffic Is purely
question of social and political expedi-
ency and not of any religious obliga-
ton under the teachings of the gospel

people were to be denied the means
OF grace held to be essential, because
they have to do with the liquor traffic,
a vast majority of the population of
Christendom would be shut out from
the prescribed way of salvation, for
those who buy no less than those who
sell are included in the category. If 1t
is wicked to make and to sell wine it is
wicked also to buy and to use it for
any purpose If, therefore. the rule of
exclusion which the protestants would
have adopted and enforced in the
BROOKLYN Congregational church were
made general in, Christianity, instead
of the nearly thirty million church
members now enumerated in the
United States. the number left would
be relatively small.
Meantime, how would the sinful wine
drinkers get to heaven?

In regard to the claim put forth on
entitled to hold such religious beliefs
as they choose. the Pittsburg Press
says very emphatically: "TNhe cry of
polygamists-the men who maintain
harems and do not know how many
children their wives have borne them
that this practice is a religion in
spired and revealed of God, will not
stay the hand OF the American people.
The question what Is a religion is a
question that the will and convictions
of the majority must after all. deter
mine: and the American people are
convinced Overwhelmingly that Nor
monism- towit, polygamy--is not
religion but crime against man and
against God, and they are determined
to stamp it OUT
Would we hesitate to exclude from
the senate a member of a church that
preached assassination 2" the Minneap-
oils Journal asks. Why, then, should
we hesitate to brand as unworthy a
member of church thai teaches poly
gamy? There is a difference between
religious liberty and license" The
Mormon church, say the Journal, does
not belong to this age; it is of the age
of blindness and superstition and can
not flourish under the strong light of
intelligence and mutual freedom which
it has invited upon itself" The Rich
mond Times declares that "polygamy
is demoraizing; it is barbarous and is
not to be tolerated by modern eiviliza-
ton. Nor Is the church which teaches
1t to be tolerated. Nor is the man who
believes in such doctrine proper

United States
While the above comment is typical
of nine out of ten editorials on this sub
ject. there are here and there such
statements as that of the Kansas City
Journal to the effect that 1.-THE fanatical
and persecuing spirit which has been
manifested in the Smoot case does no
credit to nation which expressly
guarantees religious freedom to all its
people" The Butte Inter-Mountain
also criticized the trend of tine investi-
cation before the senate committee:
Most people will agree that it is desir
able to keep all church organizations
out Of politics, with better respect to
the churches than to politics. But it
does not follow that most people Will
