ASK FOR A REHEARING.
Chicago Street Car Companies File
Petition.

Washington, April 27.--A petition
for rehearing in the Chicago traction
cases was filed during the day in the
supreme court of the United States in
behalf of the street car companies.
Eleven reasons are given for seeking
an opportunity to again present the
case. The first reason given is that
the courts construction of the words
continued in force during the life
hereof in the second section of the
act of the Illinois legislature of 1865
is contrary to the Interpretation given
to that act for forty years by the city
of Chicago. 1t is contended that the
court in arriving at its construction of
the act has overlooked the grammat-
subjects to the verbs deemed and
held and continued said verbs being
coordinate in position in the sentence
and each qualified by the adverbal
phrases in force and during the life
hereof"
Another criticism of the courts ac-
ticn is based on the statement that
in constructing the act in question
"the court has enormously assumed
that the power of the common council
to establish time limitations Of street
occupancy involves not merely the
power to limit the duration of it's own
contracts, but also the power to ex-
clude the exercise by the general as
sembly of Illinois Of the plenary au-
thority conferred upon it by the con-
stitution of the state"

WASHINGTON, Oct. so.-The cues
ton Of the propriety Of using the modi-
fed spelling In accordance with the
order of the president was incidentally
raisel today in the supreme court Of
the United States. The case under
consideration was that of Dalcour
against the United States, and Solicitor
General Hoyt was engaged in present
ing the governments side. In his ar
gument he had occasion to refer to
a long quotation In his brief from q
decision Of the court rendered some
years ago by Justice Bradley in which
the word through" was spelled ''thru.'
Chief Justice Fuller held a copy Of the
brief In his hand and when the word
was reached Interrupted Mr. Hoyt with
q question as to whether the extract
was intended to be quotation from
Justice Bradley's official opinion,

Mr.. Hoyt "Ah!" significantly respond
ed the chief Justice, with an interroga-
tive inhexion that caused q general
smile through the court room. The
solicitor general explained that the de-
partment Of justice. like all other de-
partments of the government, had at
tempted to follow the new order Of
spelling, and he added that. while he
considered 1t proper to pursue this
course in the original text Of the de.
partment's briefs. he did not feel that

THE UNKNOWN PIANIST
He Was a Wonder, and Made Life
Worth While For Hearers.
ork Press

From the New York Press:
The house sat sweltering at the WIN
dows. It was not a foreign fiat house
Just a place occupied by the common
or garden variety Of Americans, try
ing to be- happy though married, on
from $50 to 500 per month.
It was one Of the first hot nights of
the season. People had been dropping
dead In the streets that day, and not a
breath of air stirred with the setting
of the sun. The house had wanted ice
and had mostly got pork chops and po-
tatoes instead. Babies cried YEARLY
with the heat Mothers hushed them
YEARLY. Fathers, half-clad and two
thirds baked, sat at the windows and
tried YEARLY to smoke and read the
evening paper.
Suddenly a well-known slam bang
sounded on the dead air. The insur-
ance agent on the third floor jumped
nervously and said: THAT d-n girl Is
going to start it again."
The girl lived in the next house, just
across the airshaft. Her piano stood
right beside the open window and ev-
cry night she played ON the tinny old
coon songs and ragtimes and popular
minded that If she had played them
right. But she always missed the same
old note-always stuck in the same old
place.
Played Hiawatha.
Tonight she started In on lila
watha". Everybody knew just where
she would break down in "Hiawatha'"
and coming in a popular song three
years old instead of three weeks 1t was
still more maddening. There was
general movement at all the windows.
The house really felt as If 1t could not
stand it along with the weather.
Suddenly the girl stopped. There was
a murmur Of voices and then new
hand touched the piano.
It was the same old tin pan Of a p1-
ano which the house had longed to see
roped out Of the window; but, suddenly
a rich, strange note came from the
poor old thing. The piano girl had
company.
The unknown took up the strain of
three-year- "Hiawatha," but such a
''fIiawatha!" It's lifting notes danced
forth, sweet and gay as a bird, light as
q Spanish dancer. Newspapers drop
ped Curses died. . The house leaned
on it's window stills and listened.
Then the unknown glided into an
other strain; not a tune. Soft and
smooth and sweet "linked notes. of
melody, comforting, soothing, quieting
-Mendelssohn's 'Consolation." The
house settled back In it's chairs and
