When Passenger Remembers Leaving
24oo Marks in Bremen

Bremen, May 27.-The other morning,
when one of the Lloyd steamers was just
swinging into deep water. a German
cabin passenger, after feeling in all his
pockets and valises, let go an awful
yell. He had left his fortune of 24OO
marks in his bed III Bremen. 1t lay in
q bundle under the pillow he had slept
on. The captain, attracted by the mans
cries of agony, sent q boat ashore, or
dering the Lloyd people to telephone to
the hotel and make sure Of the treasure
hoard. Half an hour later a wireless
message was received stating that the
2400 marks had been found and that the
purser was authorized to pay them to
the passenger after deducting wireless
and telephone fees.

just Discrimination in Railway
Rates.

All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject in a responsible way
are likely to agree with President
Samuel Spencer Of the Southern Rail
way when he says: ".Chere is no diyis-
ion of opinion as 70 the desirability Of
stopping all secret &C unjustly discrjn.
inatory devices and practices Of wha'-
Soever character"
Mr.. Spencer, in speaking of ''unjust-
ly discriminatory" rates and Devices.
makes a distinction which is at once
apparent to common sense. There may
be discrimination in freight rates
which is just, reasonable and impera-
lively required by the complex COM
merciaI and geographical conditions
with which expert rate makers have"
to deal To abolish such open and
honest discrimination might paralyZe@
the industries Of cities, States and
whole sections of our national terri
tory.
This distinction between just and
unjust discrimination is clearly recog
nized in the conclusions of the Inter
national Railway Congress, published
yesterday:
Tariffs should be based commercial
principles, taking into account the special
conditions which bear upon the commercial.
value of the services rendered. With the
reservation that rates shall be charged with
out arbitrary discrimination to all shippers
alike under like conditions, the making Of
rates should as far as possible have all the
elasticity necessary to permit Inc develop
ment of the traffic and to produce the great
est results to the public and to the rail
roads themselves.
The present proposal is, as Mr.
Walker D. Hines Of Louisville shOwedi
in his remarkable testimony the other
day before the Senate committee at
Washington, to crystalline flexible and
Justly discriminatory rates into fixed
government rates which cannot be
changed except by the Intervention Of
some government tribunal, and by this
very process to increase "the tenpta-
ton to depart from the published rate
and the lawful rate in order to meet
some overpowering and urgent COM
mercial condition. New York Sun.

Caught Sleeping Whale.

On her last trip from Portland to San
Francisco the steamship Despatch, while
in Monterey bay, caught a sleeping
whale across her bows There was no
perceptible shock as the soft body of
the leviathan doubled across the cutWa-
ter. The Despatch was making about
ten miles an hour at the time. and the
pressure of water was SO great that the
whale was not able to liberate itself for
some time Finally it managed to slide
to one side and thus escaped. It's pres
ence did not seem to retard the steam
er, but it could be plainly seen from the
bow vainly trying to free itself.-Port-

ROW OVER NANCE O'NEILL PLAY.
Australian Claims Authorship OF Aldrlch'S
judith OF Bethelea."

When Nance O'Neill appeared last month
in Australia to fulfil her winter engage
ment she announced as part Of her roper
tore judith of Bethelea," by Thoma s
Bailey Aldrich. This play was first pro-
duced in New York last winter, with Miss
O'Neill in the leading part.
The announcement brought out public
defiance from S. A. Mills, an Australian
who charged that Judith is cribbed from
a play of his written under contract for Nance
O'Neill when she was last in Australia
Mills said that he himself had worked from
an old play by Giacometh. He registered
his opinion that Mckee Rankin had turned
his play over to Aldrich. representing it az
Giacometti's. Mills quoted number of in
cidents to be found neither in the Apoc-
rypha nor in Giacometti, which he charged
Aldrich with cribbing,
Millss copyright is dated two years earlier
than Aldrich's. At last accounts j. c. Will
hanson, Nance O'Neill's Australian man
ager, had about made up his mind to with
draw the play in the interest of peace.
Mills's charge will hardly be taken seri-
ously here, for judith of Bethelea" is only
an expansion OF Aldrich's early poem,
judith and Holofernes," which was pub
lished forty years ago.

WON'T RECEIVE MRS WILSON.
State Hospital VIII Not Readnit Her,
Although Her Father Desires II.

PoUGHKEEPsIE, July l0.-Unless the
State Commission in Lunacy SO orders,
Mrs. Janet S. Wilson will not be received
at the Hudson River State Hospital. When
Supt. Pilgrim was informed that former
Congressman Low had changed his mind
and desired his daughter readmitted TO the
hospital he consulted James l.. Williams,
attorney for the institution, who advised
him that there is nothing in the code giving
him power to seek an escaped patient in
Connecticut. Mrs Wilson is not II criminal
and would probably successfully fight ex-
tradition.
Dr. Pilgrim has conceded from the first
that Mrs. Wilson is not insane. He feels
that she should be placed in a sanatorium
and restrained from the Use of liquor and
drugs. To keep her at the Hudson River
State Hospital would necessitate making
prisoners of all the other patients in the
ward to which she might be assigned. Had
former Congressman Low not sought for

Miss Bellard's
Inspiration
By W. D. HOWELLS.

Here is a situation that might
occur in the experience of any
American girl and her lover.
Mr.. Howells extricates his hero
inc from her predicament by
means of a wonderful "inspira-
tion," and makes a delightful
story out of this summer episode.
But it would be interesting to
know if the average girl of Miss
Bellard's independent turn of
mind would break her engage
ment and then renew it in Just
this fashion.
The entrance of Mr.. and Mrs.
Mevison into the story was the
cause of it allan unhappy, i'll
mated couple such as might
cloud the romance of any pair
of lovers nowadays. They came
near spelling things for Miss
Bellard-but not quite, thanks
to her "inspiration." The re-
viewers seem to be enjoying this
new novel by Mr.. Howells.
