Passenger and freight rates on railroad must
be such as will during each year realize its az
gregate business a sum of money sufficient pay
operating expenses maintain values and pay fixed
charges. It would be only a question OF time
when the company would be bankrupt. The COM
pany has been furnishing commuters tickets at
between six and seven mills mile passenger, or
for less money than IL cost 10 furnish transporta-
ton.
Mr. Potter said that the statement that the COM
pany would make additional $4,000 year out
of the proposed increase erroneous The in
crease In income from the higher rates. he said
would be not much more than $1,000 year. The
advance was made only because the company for
two or three years past had not been making
money. The company. he added was acting well
within its legal rights in increasing the passenger
rates The advances on regular tickets and COM
muters' tickets combined would only figure up
about one cent and four mills a mile passenger.
Mr.. Potter denied that the increase had been
made 10 meet the cost OF new improvements, ana

$40 Dozen Consumed.
Ter TELEGRAPH TO THE rn1nrvr 7

LET TELEGRAPH THE THInrNr
Albany, Jan. &-Annie NJ Smith Of cananda,-
has presented the Court OF Clain, f,,
against the State, which. on her own aNHdsvit
makes her perhaps the most consistent egg and
banana eater in the State. Neither the poultry
nor the fruit raisers will the vernacuIar OF th
Bowery, have ANY kick coming because of an,
lack of enthusiasm her part for the fruit ~ tbo
henneTy or OF the banana plantation Her con-
sumption record is $40 dozen eggs and 2s4 dozen ba
nanas in twenty-nine months. She demands that
the State her for these at the of 25 cents
a dozen each.
The way II happened this: Annie lives In the
same village as the author Of the Raines law In
January. 1901, she acting assistant matron in
the boys primary department OF the State Indus
trlal School at Rochester. She walking through
dark corridor on the evening OF the Hst DAY OF
the month 70 find pair Of trousers for one OF the
boys She had passed that way many times in the
discharge OF her duty. but she deeply thinking
about an impor ant matter that nieht she trpped
along the corridor and in her temporary abstrac-
uon betwixt the pants and the other matter she
forgot an iron pipe strung across the basement
noor by some musing plumber in bygone days. AS
she trfpped she tripped-truiy tripped. and went
down ''kerwhollop!' There joke about the
fall according to her deposition She was violent
ly thrown against the wall Of said basement and
the floor thereof" and any one going along dark
hall and falling and striking the floor thereof with
human thud remembers IT afterward.
The narrative of Annie NJ Smiths anguish, bodily
and mental is partly obscured to the lay mind by
a mass OF perhaps necessary legal verbisge from
her counsel Boiled down it is clear from her afi-
davit that il painful stubbing Of her toe
iron Pipe. for she had to resign her place
March a following. and has been doctoring ever
since. After making It clear in her affidavit that
she discharging her duty when she accidentally
tripped. she says the State was all to blame. and
then the claimant makes out bill of particulars
against the State aggregating A3,sSs 60. The most
interesting items in the bill however, those
lating 10 eggs and bananas. Here are the items:
Eggs, from IL per day during 2s months Of
the period OF her disability, aggregating about
$50 dozen. at an average cost Of rs cents a

Bananas. approximately 234 dozen. st % cents
The constituents of Senator John Raines are
watching Annie's suit with good deal Of interest
They selling eggs for less than 25 cents

can get a ruling from the Court Of Claims that
