 Storm Cellars Saved Many.

That so few people were killed IS accounted for by the fact that prac- tically every house was equipped Wlth q storm cellar, and the people ran t. them as soon as they saw the tornado approaching. Those who had no storm cellars or who could not reach them were the ones who suffer- ei

BOTH FOOD
 AND MEDICINE.

We like best to call Scott's Emulsion a food-medicine. It is a term that aptly describes the character and action of our Emulsion. More than a medicine-more than a food, yet combining the vita! prin- ciples of both. It is for this reason that Scott's Emulsion has a distinct and special value in all. wasting diseases. There is nothing better to remedy the troubles of im- perfect growth and delicate health in children. The action of Scott's Emulsion is just as effective in treating weak hess and wasting in adults

King Alfonso and queen Victoria, and
who committed suicide at Tore jon de

purely domestic. and / beg to be excused

Morales brother, Facundo, gave these
details concerning the dead man:
At an early age he was sent to the
mercantile centers of Germany and
France, where he became an expert in
textile production. but his natural bent
was chemistry, and he returned home
with a library of prominent French au-
thorities on chemistry His morose dis
position led to family troubles which
eliminated in his father disowning him.

PASSENGER GIVEN
TIME TO NEGOTIATE
is NOT COMPELLED ACCORDING
TO NEW YORK COURT TO RE-
QUEST RANsFER AT THE TIME
HE PAYS HIS FARE.

New York, June s-(speciaD.-The New
York Sun says: Following the recent de-
cision of the court of special sessions, the
appellate term of the supreme court held
yesterday that the arbitrary rule laid
down by the surface railroad companies
that passenger is not entitled to trans
fer unless he applies for it as soon as he
pays his fare is absolutely Illegal and in
capable of enforcement. Carrying out
this decision. the court affirmed a munic-
ipal court judgment for $50, obtained by
Samuel Levine against the Nassau Elec-
trio Railroad company, for the refusal of
conductor to give Levine a transfer on
the ground that he had waited too long
to ask for it.
The conductor testified that 1t was for
ty minutes after Levine paid his fare
that he asked for a transfer Levine as
serted that he asked for it as soon as he
paid his fare, but that the conductor paid
no attention to him, and he had to renew
his demand some time later
Supreme Justice Clinch, sitting in the
appellate term, which hears appeals from
"oNi9iohS III the CITY ana municipal courts,
writes the opinion of the appellate court,
affirming the Levine judgment. The opin-
ion reads in part:
railway company may, under the
statutes and the terms of it's charter, pro-
vide reasonable regulations for the public
convenience, but it would require vivid
Imagination to suppose that the rule of
the company as to the granting of trans
fers carries out any such lawful purpose.
Analyzing the rule, Justice Cllnch says
that 1t evidently places upon the passen-
ger the burden of deciding at the moment
he pays his fare whether or not he wishes
a transfer.
"This is not" says Justice Clinch, such
a regulation as would promote the con-
Venience of the public, and the company
might as well adopt d rule requiring that
a passenger should ask for a transfer
after he had ridden five blocks, as adopt
a rule of this character"
1t was announced that the company
wculd appeal to the Appellate Division.
and from there, IL necessary, to the court
of appeals
The court of special sessions made a
similar ruling some weeks ago in the case
OF a conductor who was arrested for
eJecting from his car a passenger who
insisted on a transfer as he got to a
crossing.
