GENTLE sCRIPTURAL HINTS
Used by Pennsylvania to Spread the
Tidings of No Passes.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 30.-OfficiaIs of
the Pennsylvania railroad will spread the
bad news of their determination to abol-
ish free passes by sending a neat little
card. to those who have for years reveled
in the luxury of a pass on which is in
scribed:
Thou shalt not pass Numbers. Xxx,
suffered not man to pass.'-Judges,
Ill, D
THE wicked shall no more pass.''-Na-
ham. j., 10.
Though they roar yet can they not
pass. Jeremiah, v, p
He paid the fare and went Jonah
l., g.
If this Happy New Year greeting
is lost upon the passholder a less ambig-
uously wOrded communication may be
had upon request.
The scriptural hint has been sent to all
who We're accustomed to receive an an
nual pass over the company's lines at
this time of year. It is intended to init
mate. deHcately but firmly, that the
Pennsylvania management has clapped a
lid on the pass evil.

SHE HAD A HARD time.
chicago Girl Who Married a Pole Is
Coming Home.

Chicago. Dec. S0.=A Daily News
correspondent cabling from Berlin
says:
Mrs. Casimir seidlewasky, of War
saw, who was formerly Miss May
O'Meara, Of Chicago, one OF the nu-
merous refugees who have arrived in
Berlin from the revoluion-racked
provinces OF western Russia, sails
from I4G nlburg for the United States
January 3. She will remain ia Chi
cago until conditions in Poland be-
come settled. The young Chicagoan
was married last December to a
wealthy Polish merchant and land
owner. She has since then passed
through a long period of anxiety in
terspersed with unpleasant expert
ences. Frequently it was necessary

drunken CossackS were abroad terror
ling the people.
Apart, however, from the fact
that we were shut off from the world
for periods of six or seven weeks at
a time during the postal and railroad
strikes" she said today to your CORE
spondent, conditions in Poland neevr
approached the desperate state that
was represented in foreign countries.
One of the last American newspapers
that reached US had the headline
Warsaw in Flames personally
never saw or heard of a fire in War
saw, which has had fewer blazes in
the past year than Chicago has at
this season in the course of week.
Talk of Poland seeding is utterly
baseless. The Poles want to remain
an integral part of a reorganized and
liberaIized Russia, with only the same
degree of local freedom that is enjoyed
by the other citizens of the empire.
They are in rebellion merely against
the vanishing regime

HAVE FIFTY LIQUOR CASES.
lola Court Docket for January Is a
Heavy One.

lola, Kan. Dec. 30-The regular term
of the district court will convene January
and the session promises to be i long
one
The January docket will De an especial
ly heavy one. The number OF criminal
cases is unusually large owing to the
liquor cases. With an assistant attorney
general and a county attorney both opeI-
ating, the chance for an extended term is
increased. More than Atty liquor cases
will be up for trial
But not all of these can DE tried be-
cause the defendants are not all here to
be tried. The lola colony in Kansas City
is very large and although they wanted
to return for the glad Christmas time,
none of them did So few are here fer
trial and although they are all under
bond they may conclude to forfeit their
bonds rather than face the music.

TELEPHONE vs.. TELEGRAPH.
Illinois Central Installing Bells Sys-
tenn on It's Line.


Chicago, Dec. 30-All parts Of the
Illinois Central railroad are to b.
brought into communication with one
another. More than two thousand miles
of metallic long distance telephone cir
cult already has been installed ON The
telegraph poles from Chicaso 10 omaha
and Chicago to New Orleans. Grenada
and Jackson, Miss; Sioux Cityand Fort
Dodge, Iowa; Carbonate, H., and ST.
Louis and Grenada and Water Valley,
Miss. These circuits will be extended
until they embrace the entire system.
Copper wire weighing 1856 pounds to
the mile was used in building the first
circuits, but it has been found this is
not heavy enough to give good service
in zones extending over more than 400
miles, and there now is being substi-
tuted for it wire weighing 435 pounds
to the mile.
All the circuits enumerated are to be
reserved exclusively for railroad bust
ness. BY a composite system which
has been introduced the wire can be
used for telegraph as we'll as for tele-
phone purposes. though it may not be
utilized in that way.
If it is found they can meet every
emergency telephones ultimately may
surpass telegraph service because of
economy. Telephones have been in use
for more than eighteen months on the
Illinois Central between block signal
cabins, and the service has been found
to be highly satisfactory

placing fountain Oh the lawn with

scattered around would invite weary
pedestrians, as a retreat from the hot
