at Their Door.
Chicago-The greed of the steel
trust in turning out defective rails is
being assigned by railway engineer
ing and operating experts as fruit
full source of accidents on American
railways The cause for increase in
defective rails is said to be the desire
of the steel manufacturers to secure
economical operation and enlarged
output. This desire has led to care
less, inefficient and less expensive
methods of manufacturing than for
merly.
With a view of compelling manu-
facturers to provide safe and perfect
rails, and backed by magnates of big
systems, the American Railroad asso-
citation has decided to make a change
in standards of specifications for man
ufacturers of steel rails and to insist

Owns the Pearl.

The supreme court at Hamburg has
rendered a decision in the case of a
pearl, valued at over $3.50, found in
her mouth by woman, who, accom-
panied by male escort, was eating
oysters in a restaurant. The woman
claimed the pearl, and her escort sup
ported her claim, but the proprietor of
the restaurant sued to recover the
pearl on the ground that shells, like
chicken bones, were by tradition left
by customers, and were a source of
profit to the proprietor. The court
decided that the pearl did not belong
to the woman who found it nor to the
proprietor, but to the man who paid
for the oysters.

And things were all in good condition, although from ap- pearances it would indicate that they had been put there some time ago.
