her complaint Mrs. Holzapfel, who liz
more than sixty years old. alleges that

the company on the night Of Febru-
airy 22d last; that the privacy OF her

indignities thereby" and was forced
to ride In the patrol along with negro
prisoners. and was put on trial before
Justice CrutchAeld. On March I'd tho
case against her was dismissed.
The answer of the Chesapeake and
Ohio is, in effect, that the house was
searched on warrant by officers: that
the warrant was not Issued ny the
company, but by an independent con-
tractor engaged in certain work for
the company.
The main defense rests on the fact
that Charles Holzapfel. a son of the
compla inant was arrested for robbing
a Chesapeake and Ohio car. WAS con-
victed and sent to the penitentiary for
term of two years. the charge
against the woman being that she had
taken possession Of the property so
stolen by her son.

TAKE A RECORD.
See How Many Fricnda Are Hurt
II by Coffee.

II would be just as reasonable for a
temperance advocate to drink a little
diluted whiskey as to drink coffee. for
one is as truly an intoxlcant as the
other, and persistence in the use of
coffee brings on a variety OF chronic
diseases. notorious among which are
dyspepsia, heart palpitation ultimately
heart failnre), frequently constipation,
kidney troubles. many cases Of weak
eyes and trembling condition OF the
nerves.
+ These are only few OF the great
variety of diseases which come from
nm unbalanced nervous system, caused
by the persistent daily use of the
drug caffeine. which is the active prin-
ciplc Of coffee. Another bit of prima
facie evidence about coffee Is that the
victims to the habit find great diff
