to-day over the enforcement OF the
Missouri Maximum, treignt and tho
two-cent passenger faro cots. which
went into effect last night. In COM
pliance with Federal Judge nIcPher-

did not put the new rate laws into
effect, despite orders to do so issued
by the Circuit Court In Kansas City
and st. Louis. M
To-day the Circuit Courts, I, both in
Kansas City and st. Louis, on petition
Of Attorney General Hadley, ISSUED in
functions against the railways COM
polling them to obey the laws Yes
terday Judge Mcpherson issued an or

plying with the rate laws, and to- day.
when the complication OF the Circuits
Courts action arose, he continued his
order ineffect. This, the court said.
he did as@"great harm might be- done
and much confusion arise II the status

The railways ultimately respected
the order OF Judge MCPHERSON, and did
not comply with the new laws.
Assistant Attorney General Kennish
declared that the railroads asked the
Federal Court to enjoin the roads from
putting into effect the new laws. The
State would hold that because sof this
fact, the people were not enjoined by
the Federal Court and that the State

80 They Took the Woman From Her
Washtub to the GalIows.
The hanging Of woman, which in
these days calls forth public protests,
was apparently matter Of indiffer-
ence to our grandfathers and grand
mothers. It was in the nineteenth
century that woman found guilty Of
some trifing offense was sentenced to
death. By chance the warrant for her
execution was not sent to the high
sheriff, and she remained in prison
for about three years, acting as a Jail
washerwoman and occasionally, as a
favor in acknowledgment Of her good
behavior, going out, as was then the
custom, as washerwoman to private
houses But clerk looking through
the home Office records found the war
rant that had never been dispatched,
and it was thereupon promptly for
warded to the sheriff for due process.
The woman was found by the turn
key at the washtub in a house in the
town : Aylesbury. 'Well, missus,''
said he. you are to be hanged. The
warrant has come at last, and we must
carry the sentence out tomorrow morn
ing at the latest" VERY well, then,'

The Spanish Duchess.

A duchess enters a shop. Do you
imagine she will be more courteously
received than little milliner? Not at
all, for both are instantly made at
home and treated to the hidalgo's fin
est manner. But she will never be the
less a duchess because she and the
shopkeeper are on the best Of terms.
Her Inconsistencies of her rank in
everyday relations, which would stupe-
fy an English duchess, comes from the
fact that she belongs to prouder race.
Had she mind to sport her coronet
in shop the owner and his attendants
would speedily make short work of
her decorative dignity. To them it
would simply mean an underbred and
foolish exhibition, for impertinence
and vulgar haughtiness are not defects
the Spaniards will tolerate. = Black

snow are then formed, and these, by
friction with the water drops, quickly
become charged with negative cleo
tricity. But the water drops them
selves carry positive electricity, and,
since negative attracts positive, a film
Of water is formed upon each snow
particle and is instantly frozen into a
layer of ice.
At this thickness its outer surface re
mains moist. the water not freezing
there so rapidly. whereupon the cleo
trfcal charge changes from negative to
positive, and the particle is repelled by
the water drops and driven to the outer
parts Of the cloud. Here the increased
cold covers it with snow again, and
friction charges it anew with negative
electricity. Repulsion is now once
more changed for attraction, and the
particles rush back into the cloud, re-
ceiving upon their surfaces another
film of water, which is turned into Sec
ond ice layers.
Thus the growing hailstone darts zig
gag through the clouds, piling up its
alternate layers of snow and ice until
gravitation gains control and sends it,
with jingling crowd Of its fellows,
spinning to the ground.-M Minneapolis

Not Good Twice.

Lincoln's stories grew better aud bet
ter as he grew older. One of the best
was told to visitor who congratu-
lated him on the almost certain pur-
pose on the part Of the people to re-
elect him for another term Of four
years. Mr.. Lincoln replied that he had
been told this frequently before and
that when it was first mentioned to
him he was reminded Of farmer in
Illinois who determined to>try his own
hand at blasting. After successfully
boring and filing in with powder he
failed in his effort to make the powder
go off, and after discussing the cause
with a locker on and failing to detect
anything wrong in the powder the
farmer suddenly came to the conclu-
sion that it would not go off because it
had been shot before.
