RIGHT TO A SEAT DENIED
Company Obliged Only to Furnish
Reasonable Number"

Former Governor Chamberlain of
Connecticut and Edward Atwater,
president of the State Business Mems
association refused to pay fare on
a crowded train from Bridgeport to
New Haven because they could not get
seats. The case was widely discussed,
and the New York, New Haven &
Hartford management has issued the
following statement:
"A railroad or common carrier is
bound to furnish reasonable seating ac-
commodation for the average number
of passengers carried on its line.
"It is not bound, however, to buy
enough passenger cars to furnish seat
ing capacity for a few days in the year
when travel is at its height if such
cars would remain unused at other
times of the year.
"A passenger has a right to a seat in
train, but he has not right to a seat
in any particular train, and if he
boards a train and finds the seats are
exhausted he has no right to insist
upon a seat before paying his fare.
at is his option to travel on that
train without seat or to get off and
take the next train upon which he can
get seat.
IF he insists upon remaining upon a
train where there is no seat. he must
pay his fare or be subjected to the
statutory penalties for evasion of fare.
This doctrine is supported by Bald
wins American railroad law and other
decisions"

"FANCH0N THE CRICKET"
WELL DONE BY HOTCHKISS

The performance of "Fanchon the
Cricket" which was given last night by
the Howard Hamilton company at the
Hotchkiss, was most creditable pre-
sentation of Maggie Mitchells most
popular play-not seen here for many
day.
Miss Flora Dorset in the part of
Fanchon needs no eulogy. She has al
ready proved herself to be an actress
of no little worth. and her change from
the comedy of the foregoing plays to
the almost tragic part she played last
night was complete She is an actress,
for she can change at will. She was not
quite as much the little imp in the first
act that one would suppose Fanchon
to have been, but in the later acts she
redeemed herself completely.
George B. Howard as the simple twin
was good, but he did not have so ample
a chance to show his talent as one
would have liked. Edmund Murphy in
the character of Landry, the other
twin, had better opportunity to show
his mettle, and he certainly 'made
good" His conception of the part could
admit of few improvements. Father
Barbeaud, a rich farmer, was taken
by Guy Hitner He is exactly suited
for the character and he takes it well.
AS for Miss Katheryn Bond, as Old
Fadet, Cricket's grandmother, one
could feel the witchcraft weirdly cling
ing to her. and when she upbraided
Father Barbeaud, she charged the air
with her bitter speech, and no one
could have asked for a better or
weirder scene.
Miss Louise AverilI as Frau Bar
beaud, the mother of the twins and
Miss Isabel Rollas-Bailey as Madelon,
the village beauty do the beStsthey can
with the minor parts they have. The
cast. which is larger than the manage
ment has put on before, shows careful
training and the scenery is beautiful
The Maypole dance reacts to the
credit of the stage manager so well that
it would pay to go see 'Fanchon the
Cricket" if to see the dance alone.

Pennsy Carries War Into Western
Passenger Association

PITTSBURG. Sept. 24.-The Pennsyl-
Vania has decided on little war move
of its own and will carry 1t into the
Western Passenger associations terri
tory, which is now being invaded by the
Vanderbilt interests. E. A, Ford, pas
senger traffic manager of the Pennsyl-
vania lines west, at the meeting of the
Central Passenger association to be
held in Chicago, will present a PROPOSE
tion to the association to adopt the
2-cent mileage book at the fiat rate of
500 for 1000 miles.
The Pennsylvania lines do not wish
to do away with this Interchangeable
mileage book, good on lines in the Cen
trail association.
The idea is that each railroad COM

rate, good on it's own lines only for any
number Of persons.
The interchangeable book will con-
tinue to be issued under present regu-

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. Sept 24.-W
]. Carnahan, general superintendent of
the st. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico
railroad, of the Yoakum system, is au-
thority for the statement that the Rio
Grande river will be bridged at Browns

as soon as the road crosses the river it's
plans are stupendous Mr.. Carnahan
says:
"As soon as the Rio Grande is bridged

from there to TuXpan and south to
Vera Cruz, following the coast, and
from Vera Cruz the road will be built

THE road will also extend branch

This road, when completed will be
the shortest line from south and east

VARIETY THE FEATURE OF
THE ORPHEUM'S GOOD BILL

It was a naughty, disobedient wheel
that Minnie Kaufman, greatest lady
trick cyclist in the world" rode at the
Orpheum last night. 1t simply would
not mind it's rider. once, in fact Miss
Kaufman gave it slap and then 1t
behaved better. The slap seemed TO
steady the really clever womans
nerves. Then for five minutes the spec
tators were treated to a bewildering
display of white robed figure astride,
over, under and around silver bicycle
and parts of bicycles and it was evident
that Miss Kaufman had well earned
her title. The Kaufmanns have for
years been noted as stage cycle artists
and the sprightly young woman with
the ineffaceable smile on this occasion
added to the family's fame and to the
pleasure of the visitors to the Orpheum.
The italian trio, not so much heralded
as some trios, made one of the distinct
hits of the evening. The sizes of the
Italians range from diminuendo to
crescendo, and the latter fellow brought
down the house. He looked to be
seven feet by four, like mountain of
flesh, and the way the notes rolled out

it was disconcerting to have the props"

to see will be furnished by Chinko,
whose choice of name is certainly bad.

Bad Stomach Makes
Bad Blood.

You can not make sweet butter in a
foul, unclean churn. The stomach serves
as a churn in which to agitate, work up
and disintegrate our food as it is being
digested. If II be weak, sluggish and
foul the result will be torpid, sluggish
liver and bad, impure blood.
The ingredients Of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery are just such as best
serve to correct and cure all such de-
rangements. 1t is made up without a
drop Of alcohol In its composition; chem
ically pure, triple-refned glycerine being
used instead OF the commonly employed
alcohol. Now this gycerine is OF Itself a
valuable medicine, Instead OF a deleteri
GUS agent like alcohol, especially in the
cure OF weak stomach, dyspepsia and the
various forms of indigestion. Prof. Finley
Ellingwood, M. d., OF Bennett Medical
College, Chicago, says OF IL:

pose II Is one OF the best msnufaot-
action upon enfeebled. dlsordered stomachs;
especially IL there is liberation or catarrhal

tory and excretory functions OF the Intestinal
When com olned inJ just the right proper
tlons, with Golden Seal root, Stone root
Black Cherry bark, Queens root, Blood
root and Mandrake root, or the extracts Of
these, as in DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, there can be no doubt Of It's
great efficacy In the cure OF all stomach
liver and intestinal disorders and derange-
ments. These several ingredients have
the strongest endorsement in all such
cases OF such eminent medical leaders as

PATENT MAKES A MILLIONAIRE
Fireman In Michigan Invents Turbine
Enqine


ESCANABA, Mich. Sept. pa week
ago James A. Devlin was fireman on
the Northwestern road, running out of
Escanaba, on pay of $50 month. To-
day he is a millionaire.
Devln worked for three years on a
patent for a turbine steam engine. He
is a modest, quiet fellow, and even his
nearest friends did not know what he
was doing.
The working model was completed
last March and June 10 the patents
were granted. Devlin received from
the hands of Attorney A. L. Walch of
New York, who came here, a draft for
1915, 900 from the North German LloydS
for his patent. He also signed an agree
ment by which he is to receive $100 a
day for fifty days to superintend the
construction of an engine under his
patents.
The inventor. together with Mr..
Walch, has left Escanaba, bound for
New York, to fulfill the terms of his
contract
Devlin is 81 years of age and has been
in the employ of the Northwestern road
for the past eight years. No details of
the new engine have been made public.
1t is only known that it is a great i'm
provement over those now in use.
