THREE CENT FARES.
Cleveland Judge Holds That They Are
 Illegal.


 Cleveland, Oct. 15.-Judge Law renee, of the common pleas court, rem dered decision this afternoon hold ing as illegal all franchises granted by the council for so-called three-cent- fare lines on the east side, except a small section constructed on East Fourteenth street which covers about two blocks. The court held that the franchises for three-cent lines on the west side were valid because they were granted prior to the date upon which Mayor Johnson was alleged to have become financially interested in the roads.
 The decision holds that Mayor Johnson is now exonerated of fnan- cial Interest in the low-fare com panles, his obligations having been cancelled before the passage of the curative ordinance passed by the city council August last. The evidence exonerates Mayor Johnson, the court says, from any bad faith or fraudulent purpose in the transactions In contro- versy, and that his motive was to serve the public by lending his credit to an enterprise which he considered to be of great benefit to the people of Cleveland, but his action in the ap- proyal of those extension ordinances other than the Rhodes avenue grant was opposed to the common law which does not permit one to act as agent for the public in making contract affecting his private interests.

 week or ten days in consultation with the officials of tho navy department ih relation to the approaching voyage OF

HAS REAL GRIEVANCE.
Prisoner Suffers Inconvenienccs In an
Indian Jail.

A prisoner in Rampore Boalla jail
has a clear grievance against the gov
eminent. There are certain incon-
veniences inseparable from prison life
which all reasonable criminals more
or less unwillingly accept, but the
most complaisant draw the line at be-
ing marked down and clawed by a
leopardess in the seclusion OF the
prison yard. The animal seems to
have been inspired by a suffragette-
like curiosity as to the inside of a
prison, and having got in by the high
" irregular method of leaping the
wall she ensconced herself among the
low brick piers on which the old bar
racks are raised from the ground In
the early afternoon she espied pris-
oner in the yard clearing up, and like
the impulsive creature she is, prompt
ly leaped upon him, striking him to
the ground and clawing his back.
Then, with the fickleness of her sex,
she suddenly changed her mind, and
in an access of shyness ran away and
hid herself among the brick pillars.
Now Col. r. r. Weir, inspector general
of prisons, happened to be in the vii
lage, and to him the incident was re-
ported. Though it cannot be said that
the duties Of an inspector general Of
prisons included the destruction of
vermin, Col. Weir did not stop to con-
slider technicalities, but borrowed a
rife. After some difficulty in getting
within striking distance ce the in
truder as she lay in her ftstness, he
succeeded in planting his first shot
behind her shoulder, after which
nothing remained to be done but to
drag off the carcass and record its
tape measurements as more than
seven feet.-London Daily Telegraph

FREAK EUROPEAN PAPERS.
Plans to Win Readers Failed to Pro

Next after this he finds remarka-

thin sheets of dough. After absorb
ing all the information the sheet con
tanned one could eat it, thus deriving
from it nourishment for mind and

The publisher Of a new Partisan
journal, LIE Bien 'Etre, promised to
all subscribers for 40 consecutive
years a pension and free burial. In
spite of the inducement subscribers
were SO few that the paper died in a
month. 1t was followed shortly after
by paper called LIE Mouchoir, the
handkerchief. 1t was printed on pa
per such as the so-called Japanese
napkins are made of and might be
used in case the reader forgot or lost
his handkerchief. 1t did not last long.
At two different French seacoast re-
sorts newspapers called the Courier

La Naiade, which doesn't need trans

paper. The inducement was that the
