the twirers for passes but now he steps
up and meets the ball.

equal il every respect 10 those pro
vided for white people with first-class
tickets.
In the case of Georgia Edwards
against the Nashville, Chattanooga
and St. Louis railroad, the commis-
sion in its decision yesterday held that
where railroad provides certain ac-
commodations for frst-class passen-
ger Of the white race it is command
ed BY the law that like accommoda-
tions shall be provided for negroes
who have purchased first-class tick
cts. It holds that in this case it is
manifest that the railroad provided a
wash bowl and Disseminated in some
particulars against colored passen-
gers, and orders that where the rail-
roads provide a wash bowl and towel
in the coaches for white passengers,
and separate smoking compartment,
similar accommodations shall be pro-
vided for negro passengers paying
similar fare. The complainant, who
had purchased a first-class ticket
from Chattanooga, Tenn, to Dalton,
Ga., was removed from car for
white persons to one for negroes, and
complained that she was aiscrlminat-
ed against because Of her color, and
not afforded equal facilities. Commis-
sioner Lane, who rendered the COM
missions decision, holds that the
broad question of the right under the
thirteenth and fourteenth amend
ments Of the constitution to segregate
white and colored passengers has been
uphelp by the supreme court Of the
United States. The opinion then
continues:
"Accepting these decisions as con-
elusive upon the constitutionality Of
such law, we turn to the consideration
Of the reasonable ness Of such rule
when imposed by the carrier, and this
we find to have been passed upon by
this commission within a few months
of its organization in the case Of
Councial VS.. Western and Atlantic
Railroad company, which was decided
December 3, 1887, and which held
this separation may be, carried out on
railroad trains without disadvantage
to either race and with increased COM
fort to both.
"While, therefore, the reasonable
ness Of such regulation as to inter-
state passenger traffic is established,
itby no meaons follows that carriers
may discriminate between white and
colored passengers in the accommida-
tions which they furnish to each. The
principle that must govern is that
carriers must serve equally well all
passengers, whether white or colored,
paying the same fare. Failure to do
this is discrimination and subjects the
passenger to undue and unreasonable
prejudice and Disadvantage -

WHAT WAS IT The Woman Feared?

What a comfort to find it is not "the awful thing feared, but only chronic indigestion. which proper food can re- lieve.
 A woman in Ohio says:
 q was troubled for years with in- digestion and chronic constipation. At times I would have such a gnawing in my stoThach that l actually feared had al dislike to write or even think of what I feared.
 Seeing an account of Grape-Nuts. decided to try it. After a short time I was satisfied the trouble was not the awful thing I feared but was still bad enough. However I was re- lieved of a bad case of dyspepsia, by changing from improper food to Grape Nuts.
 Since that time my bowels have been as regular as a clock. I had also noticed before I began to eat Grape Nuts that I was becoming forgetful of where I put little things about the house. which was very annoying.
 But since the digestive organs have become strong from eating Grape Nuts my memory is good and my mind as clear as when I was young. and I am thankful" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek. Mich. Read the lit tie book, "The Road to Melville" in packages. There's a Reason"

COTTAGE SALOON
 WITHOUT LICENSE
The Beard of Supervisors Now Engas- ed in Considering the Case of the Redlirht.

The Cottage saloon is now without license for the sale of liquor. The li cense was revoked by the board of su- pervisors yesterday morning. no de- rense having been offered to the com plaint of the petitioners who charged that the business had not been con ducted according to law. Immediately after the filing of the petition an ar engagement was partially made by which the license might be surrendered without a struggle and that arrange ment might have been carried out but for the mysterious disappearance of W. r. Richardson. the attorney for the proprietor. Prosper Bordone. The ad- vantage in this disposition of the case so far as the proprietor was concerned would have been that he would have stood without prejudice and could have applied for license to do busi- ness at some other point. As it is he Is debarred for the period of five years The case of O. Magnani, proprietor of the Redlight saloon. was taken up next and occupied the rest of the day. The proprietor was represented by Judge Baker. who first fought the case on legal grounds After that testimony was introduced to show. that liquor had been sold to minors within the last several months. When the board ad- journed for the day the evidence had not all been put in.
