THE HAT CHECK.

A Mclean county jury has given
man who was elected from a train on
the Alton road $500 damages. The
passenger refused TO show the hat
check given him by the conductor
when his ticket was taken up, saying
that he was under no obligation to 60
So Thereupon the conductor actins
Under instructions from one OF the
officers OF the road who was on tle
rain, put the man of
Evidently the twelve jurors and tine
Judge who heard the case do not have
high opinion of the hat check. Il
has been In use almost since railroad
ing in this country began, but there
are many travellers who dislike it,.
They do not wish to have strips Of
colored pasteboard stuck in their hat
bands-to be tagged in order that 4
conductor may the more easily identi,
Nv them. So the verdict Of the jury
will strike what is called "a respon-
siye chord in many hearts,
The railroads argue that the check
worn conspicuously is convenience
to the passenger. who would other
wise have to pull out his ticket. 1t is
essential, they say. that the checks
should be surrendered finally by pas
sengers or a fraudulent use will be
made of them They Will be sold 10
persons who have no scrnples about

There is no question that the pas
senger who was put off the Alton had
paid his fare Probably the conductor
was convinced that he had but he did
not comply with the company's rule
that he should produce the hat check,
which ii regards as receipt for

with the verdict and viii appeal.
The supreme court may decide that
in matters of this kind a railroad
must take It's chances and that It
must expect to pay damages ii its
employees put a passenger off train
merely because he refuses to produce

he has paid his fare That would be a

Mr.. Burnley places John n. Rookie

fred Biet and J. r, Robinson. There
is little doubt that this arrangement
made by Mr.. Burnley is wrong. The
visible assets of Mr. Rockefeller Gear
ly entitle him to the primary among
millionaires il the Creates fortune
outside of America is estimated at
only 100000. 600. But the purchas-
ing power Of money in Europe is
greater than it is in America and con
sequently it takes less of il to make
