FOREIGN GOSSIP.

It is said that the few Americans who have been in Monte Carlo this season have returned to Lendon in disgust, de- claring that the place is ruined by the invasion of a bad class of people. The fashionable centers are said to be Rome, lCairo and Caux in Switzerland, which is crowded with Americans. Monte Carlo is not the only place on the Riviera which has been dull.
 In London the Japanese are of jiu jitsu has become such fad among English women that as one writer expresses it. elderly women in physical culture" dress wrestle with each other instead of going to the countless massage establishments. Spinsters living In lonely suburbs are learning the art so that they can tackle "holigans in case of necessity where skye terriers afford little protection.
 Young men and old men have put them selves Into the hands of Japanese profess sors and the result Of the boom has been an influx of little yellow men into Lon dcn many of whom are very indifferent teachers. There are now mope than forty schools of jiu jitsu in London, and the physical culture people and those who run gymnasiums are doing all they can to pour cold water on the Jap art as being extremely dangerous and joint dislocat- ing.

swer. At the last meeting Of the asso-
citation held in the east the train rules
committee was instructed to examine
carefully into the operation Of all rail-
roads with a view of ascertaining if
changes in the rules should not be made
which would facilitate operation and
add to the safety OF the public and of
the property transported.
One matter which has caused heated
debate is the rules governing the meet
ing of trains on single track roads. The
practice is not uniform, and tho same
orders do not prevail on all railroads
despite the standard code Of operation
promulgated by the association. There
is not even a conviction that the stand
ara code rules in this respect are the
most efficient that can be devised.
The growth OF traffic on American
railways has been SO rapid that many
of the rules OF operation of the stand
ard code are claimed by some to be out
of date. The committee is expected to
gather all the data extant with refer
ence to operating rules and to make
recommendations for changes provided
they deem any changes to be desirable.

MONEY FOR PARKS
City Improvements Lag Because

Niggardly Methods of Treating

Last Year Only Half of What 1t

People in Vicinity of Central
Park to Build Walks.

NJ. A. Low, Frank Bonebrake,
Ralph Cav, DR.. ]. c. McClintock and
others who have been interested in
the development of Central park and
who took a leading and active part in
the work of securing the tract Of land
to be dedicated to the city as a public
park, are interested in a movement
for the further development of Cen
tral park.
owing to the fact that the city coun-
ell last year made but a half mill levy
for park purposes, which was but half
the amount of the levy previously
made. the park commissioners find
that there is not sufficient money
available for park purposes to carry
on the work of improving the various
city parks as they should be this year
The half mill levy raises but about
$4,000, which is too small sum to
carry the work of park improvement
on as it should be.
This new movement, started by pub
lie spirited property owners in the vi
cinitv of Central park, takes the form
of private subscriptions for the con-
struction of cinder walks in the park
and the completion of the entire sys-
tenn of walks. It IS estimated that the
expense of the walks will be in the
of $500.

At first thought, one might conclude
that the society woman is a woman of
leisure, that she has nothing to do
but attend social functions, make and
receive calls and so on.
Those who know realize that hers is
a busy life
There are many reasons why. society
women break down, many reasons
why their nervous systems fail, many
reasons why they have systemic or
pelvic catarrh. Indeed, they are espe-
cially liable to these ailments.
First, the society woman rarely gets
night. It is fact well known to
scientists that one hour of sleep be-
fore midnight is worth two hours of
sleep in the morning.
Second, she rises late and misses all
the invigorating effects of the morning
air and outdoor exercise.
Third, her late suppers, consisting
of a variety of delicacies, disturb her

Travelling Public Will Have to

ONE TRAIN DAILY.
Company Has Paid No Attention
to Request of Patrons.
Gossip and Matters of Interest
in Railroad Circles.

The Missouri Pacific railway company
has announced that the passenger train
between Topeka and Fort Scott will be
discontinued after tomorrow.
For years the poor service given to
Topeka by the MISSOURI Pacific has re-
suited in lack of profitable business
The Missouri Pacific has disregarded in
every way the wishes of the people who
would be its patrons here.
Topeka people have tried to have the
Missouri Pacific officials arrange the
schedule of the passenger service so
that the train would arrive in Topeka
from St Louis in the forenoon and
leave late in the afternoon, in order to
encourage travel to Topeka from the
nearby towns.
The schedule as it has stood is abso-
lutely valueless to most people, who
cannot afford to travel to Topeka and
remain in the city over night to return
home the next morning. The train
service has been SO irregular that even
under those circumstances persons
hardly have time to visit stores or do
any business even after remaining in
Topeka all night because the train
reaches Topeka late in the afternoon
and departs early in the morning.
Missouri Pacific officials should have
given trial to a new passenger sched-
ule before abandoning the service alto
gether. The Missouri Pacific has treat
ed Topeka and Shawnee county scan
dalOusly and we voted it big bonds, too
A combination passenger and baggage
coach will be hauled on the local
freight train each way every day but
Sunday hereafter
Were it not for the personal and social
influence of Mr.. Nipps, the local Mis-
souri, Pacific agent at Topeka it is
doubtful if the Missouri Pacific would
get a car load of freight a month at this
place.
The new time card provides for only
one train each way every day between
Topeka and Fort Scott. These will be
mixed train No 343 running south, and
mixed train No. 344. running north. No.
343 will leave Topeka at 1890 a. N.

day except Sunday.

TRIES TO BEAT TRUST.
S. L. Leonard OF Finney County Has
Scheme of His Own.

s. L. Leonard Of Finney county is
trying to beat the wire trust out of q
bill he owes that company on the
ground that the trust has no right to
do business in the state of Kansas.
The case was fled in the supreme
Leonard bought wire from the
American Steel and Wire company
and gave his notes for it. The notes
were unpaid, and the company
brought suit and recovered a judgment
for S55O79 in the Finney county dis
trict court. Leonard then appealed
the case
Among the exhibits submitted by
Leonard is the following letter from
J. r. Burrow, secretary of state:
April II, 1904. I, J. r. Burrow,
do hereby certify that have made a
careful examination of the records
and files in this Office. and am unable
to find any record Of the American
Steel and Wire company having COM
piled with any of the laws of the state
relating to foreign corporations"
Leonard claims that since the wire
trust has no authority to do business
in the state, it had no authority to ex-
ecute the notes or sell him the goods
The supreme court has never passed
upon this point.

park are completed and have been in
use for several years. The walks
have gradually been extended but this
year, with limited funds, the park
nissioners find that with the finan-
ces at hand little can be done. When
the entire system Of walks is COM
pleted there will be walks north and
south and east and west through the
park, connecting with the various
streets which end at the park limits.
When the walks are completed pedes-
trians can go directly through the
park instead of walking around the
three blocks as is necessary under the
present condition.
A petition will be presented to the
city council asking that the city extend
a water main to the upper lake, which
has been excavated and damned and is
ready to be filed. The plans of the
park, when completed, contemplate a
chain of three small lakes. The two
lower lakes are to be filled by the over
flow from the upper lake. When the
main is laid to the lake which is ready
to receive water the water supply Tor
all three lakes win be in readiness.
During the four years that the park
has been improved much has been ac-
complished and the north third of the
park is practically completed and pre-
sents a most tasteful arrangement of
walks and shrubs. The work of i'm
proving the park has gradually been eX-
tended toward the south end and with
the funds available the park commits
sioners and superintendent Reinisch, of
the city parks, have accomplished
great deal.
Another of the proposed features for
Central park is a band stand, in the
center Ofthe park, where free concerts
can be given during the summer
months.
A large assortment of fine stock of
ornamental trees and shrubbery has
been set out in nursery in Central
park during the past three years. and
it is now ready for transplanting to the
places in the park where it is intended
to be. A large number of shrubs and
trees have been transplanted this spring
to the points in the park where the gen
eraI plans call for such paintings. The
survey for the completion of the system
of walks has been made and all that is
now lacking is funds.
Several who are interested in the de-
veIopment of the park have signified
their intention of giving liberal amounts
to the subscription fund which is to be
raised.
What the city council should do this
year is to make a levy for park i'm
provement purposes of a full mill in
order that the park commission will
have money available next year for the
improvement of all of the public parks
of the city.

sHARPERs GET SPECIAL FREE
New York T'rainnen Easily BeguiIed
Into Sending Out Train.

New YORK IFalnileh Easily Beguiicd
Into Sending Out Train.
New York, April 29.@The Long Isl
and railroad was made the victim of
new BEAT" Sunday night and is today
looking TO two palace car tramps who
hired a special train to take them to
Jamaica, a distance of about twenty
miles. where they left it without going
through the formaiity of thanking the
conductor for their pleasant ride.
Early in the evening of Easter two
men went into the dispatcher's office
at the Long Island railroad station at
Long Island City and said they wanted
a special train to take them to their
summer home near Jamaica "at
once" Their guarantee for the rea-
onabIeness of their demand was that
they were 's--'' ''Mr. Belmont and
son" (dash represents mumbling of
words, such as, perhaps, connected
with'). At that the dispatcher order
ed a special, collected the crew, and
had everything in readiness at a race
to-bedside rate"
The two men of distinguished as
sumptions boarded their palace car
with dignity and placidity. 1t was
hoped the track was clear? For stops
really are quite annoying. LOlling in
cushioned chairs, indulging in per
fectos and the best highballs, the dis
tinguished party of two carelessly
watched the railroad yards pale in the
gray and the graveyards slip by. The
conductor had been duly impressed
and carried himself with propriety.
Nevertheless, being on special duty,
he was anxious, and when a few miles
out he quietly approached the elder Of
the two and suggested he pay the trip
order. He was sorry to mention the
matter, but thought it would be better.
The man whom he addressed was a
triffe indignant. It seemed strange he
should be bothered about a small
thing so prematurely. He waved the
servant of the railroad aside and or
dered him to stop at Jamaica, station,
as he wished to dispatch a telegram,
and assured him he would fix up the
fare question there.
At Jamaica the two men went into
the station toward the telegraph Office
and didn't return. Search for them
proved vain. They had ridden and
were gone and that was the end of it.

TURNED OUT OF HOME.
F. G. BigeIow Goes to Live With
His Son.

Milwaukee. April 29.-Frank G. Bige-
low, the defau1ting banker, has been
obliged to leave his palatial home on
Astor street, it having been taken pos
session of by the Wisconsin Trust and
Security company as receiver for the
Bigelow estate.
Mr.. Bigelow with his family, taking
little save their personal effects, went
to the home of his son, Gordon Bigelow,
where they will make their home for
the time being
bilities and assets to Mr.. Bigelow's pc
tftion in bankruptcy will prOabbly not
be fled before a week or ten days.
1t is said that Judge Carpenter in
the county court will take steps within
a short time to remove Bigelow from
the various trusts which he holds by
virtue of testamentary appointment.
Mr.. BigeIow acknowledged that he
owed the Brodhead estates, an amount
not to exceed $4,000, in addition to the
