CHICAGO STREET RAILWAY
HAS NO CHARTER

Chicago, March The Chicago
City railway, a corporation controlling
ninety miles of street railway lines j n
the, south and southwest portions of Chi.
cago, is now without franchise OF any
description whatever. For some time
the company has been operating under
an extension of their former franchise,
but this extended privilege was taken
away from the corporation last night
by the city council, which passed an
ordinance declaring that the company
had no rights whatever in the streets in
which their cars are operated. Late
last night Corporation Counsel Tolman
hurried to Judge Mack's court. where
the jurist was waiting, and filed a bill
asking an injunction restraining the Chi
cago City Railway Co. from maintaining
and operating its railroad upon the
streets where the-city contends the franz
chise has expired, and asks that the
rights and title Of the city in the streets
be annulled.

IA KANSAS CITY JUDGE
TALKS ABOUT MARRIAGE S

Kansas City, March 2I-ssA man
should investigate carefully the charac-
ter Of girl he is to marry. If he knows
her faults before the ceremony. he can
not feel himself aggrieved, in law, il
these faults make the married state in
Etolerable US 81.
sIf a man knows a girl drinks, even
beer, he is taking his life in his hand
when he marries her The appetite for
liquor is bad enough in man, but you
know it is tenfold worse in its conse-
querces in women
To my mind one of the greatest evils
|of our day IS the tendency of girls and
young women to drink beer and occas-
ioiially a cocktail or two. Society is
going to be much worse for it twenty
five years from now, but the man who,
knowing and encouraging these things,
would come into court and give evi-
|dence to blacken the character Of the
woman is dirty dog and should be
bounded from the halls of Justice
With these observations Judge Park
lin the city court, denied the motion oi
Cornelius DALEY for a new trial iii mis-
proceedings for divorce from Annie
Daley.
DALEY is a saloon Keeper who married
IA r4-ycar-old girl. She became slave
