appeared in the supreme courts today
Mr. Billings had lived in Montgomery 36
wears before the trouble occurred, and he
had a great reputation. He owned a lot
OF land through which the Santa Fe rail-
way tracks ran. The Santa F'e foreman
took out a lot OF bad ties from the track,
and piled them up along the right-of-way.
It had been the custom in years past for
the farmers to haul these ties away and
burn them, but the Santa Fe didn't want
TO continue this custom. It wanted to
burn It's own ties. But Billings was one

Crane P.per Veil Holders.

Beautiful veil holders may be fash toned out of crape paper, and if made at home are inexpensive. The only diff ticult thing is the hand painted decora- tions. but if woman has little ex' per1ence this will be easy. One holder may be fashioned from two plain white or colored napkins of crape paper They should bo about twelve inches wide and from twenty -four to twenty six inches long Between them is plac- et1 a sheet or two of fine cotton batting delicately scented with rose or violet. and the edges are bound with ribbon to match the decorations to be painted or stamped on the paper. If red roses are painted in water color, then red satin ribbon is used. while If punches of yiolets are put in the border blue rib bon Is sewed to the edges. or, with cbrvsanthemums, yellow ribbon. When both sides are decorated fold the naphins once, sew tte corners of one end together and fasten with one or two dainty bows of baby ribbon of $ shade to match that used on the edges. Then fold one corner of the other end, bring it down to the bottom and fasteh in DIacp. Put on one or two bows like those at the top and the holder is com nlnto. The one side turned over makes ;t easier to slip the veils into place ana shows the one on top, so that the Wo- man who goes to get veil can readily see the color

tail She is intimately familiar with the construction, purpose and opera tion of every one of the hundreds of parts of locomotive or dynamo. She discusses them fluently and authorita- lively The keenest mechanician is un- able to confound her once she has made a study of particular device.
 The triumph of her career as law yer came ill the supreme court of the United States in 1903 in a suit involv- ing the rights in packing for journals used in axle boxes on railroad equip ments The inventor had spent three years, from 1887, the year the patent was issued, until 1900, trying to induce the railroads to use his packing. In 1900 he died and left his patent to his widow, who had no other means of support She licensed the patent to 8 big supply company with a capital of $5,OOO, ,OOO. the company agreeing to pay her . minimum royalty of $8,OOO year. The company fulfilled it's con tract for 8 time and then cancelled the license and refused to pay the royalty.
 Choosing Miss King as her attorney the widow brought suit against the company. Opposed to the Chicago wo- man as counsel wefS several of the most brilliant lawysrs, aided by high priced experts. The case wSs carasd through to tho federal supreme court. and in 1908 M1ss Kl1g won her case. The result wa the annihilatlom of the big corporation, which won't out of -bus1- ness entirely.
 In this case were involved some very dne technical distinctions as we'll as legal principles. Miss King was mas ter of them sil. and hsf argument was one of the most laacld, forcible and com- prehensive of the kind ever delivered In the nations highest tribunal Since that victory Miss Kings practice haa grown by leaps and bounds. especially as 1t relates to anything in the way of railway eqdipment.-New York Herald

FASHION NOTES.

Velvet ribbons are used to a very great extent at this moment fer the trimming of hats, in bows, ruchings and rosettes.
 Both big and little hats are sean, but none of medium size.
 Every Parisienne wears an orna- ment of some descr ption in her hair at every sort of an affair, especially a+ the opera. Small clusters of colored rosees, with a sweeping Par adise. are seen, while very young girls affect single pink rose, worn as if apparently thrust carelessly into the hal and allowed to drcop almost upon the forehead at one side.
 One of the latest fads is the wear ing of white lace sleeves On sheer black evening gowns, such as those of net or of mousseline de soie.
 Some of the most fashinoable wou- ell have taken to wearing delicatelv tinted marabout cuffs and bows with l evening gowns at the eopera. Tiny gold roses are seen on some of the smartest of the dark, T ch hats. Velvet is first favorite this season for all dressy occasions. and it is as soft and as supple as chiffon.
 Tips are absent from most of the new shoes. There's a very pretty bit of style in the long. unbroken vamp.
 Contrary to grewn-up styles, child ren's shoes remain the same broad ] teed, square looking affairs that fash ion and common sense agreed tc support three or four years ago.
