drunken quarrel in Soho restaurant. re-

ley by the hands Of his cousin. Julian Hor-
ley, Esq, of Southam House, Dedham, in
the county of Suffolk. The murderer was
still at large-so the account ended
ut cannot be-cannot be true!"
Fedore looked UP with such face Of
hopeless, stricken misery that her mother
read all her little story, and she congratu-
lated herself, even in the midst of all, that
Julian had not spoken openly to Fedore-
that there had been no settled engagement
between them.
my darling. I fear it is true. or the
papers would not dare to publish 1t. But.
to set all doubt at rest, will send the
coacbman round at once. He shall find out
the true state of affairs"
How Fedore ever lived through that hour
of agonizing suspense she knew
Each moment seemed like an eternity, while
the clock licked on, and the sounds of
through the half-open window.
Mrs Molyneux watched her daughter mar
rowly, but she could find no words in which
to comfort her.
The coachman, an old retainer of the
family, came back from his errand to the
restaurant looking very grave. He knew
how things were going between his young
mistress and the owner of Southam Hall,
and this would put a stop to. everything
well, Smith, what news do you bring?
He stood before the pair, mother and
daughter. and noticed how Miss Fedore

TITS bad affair, madam. But Mr.. Fer

back to his rooms at Cover Street. and the
doctor has hopes of him. But there amt
news of Mr.. Julian"
There was silence Mrs. Molyneux wished
Fedore would leave her to put another plain
question to Smith. But the girl, instead,
looked up and asked it.
do they think he did it? Speak Don't
be afraid There is nothing worse for me
to hear now"
There amt no manner of doubt, Miss
Fedore. The owner of the restaurant came
and spoke to me. It's no use his trying to
deny it. They got quarreing, and drink

man rushed in, hearing a row, Mr. Julian
had just dashed his cousin against the

left the quiet retirement of her country

And where is Mr.. JULIAN"
This query came from Mrs. MolyneuX
Fedore could not bring herself to frame the
words.
"They don't know, madam but the police
are hot upon the scent. They don't think

more important ut this time for the
railroads to give ample facilities to
shippers, and quicker service than
that freight rates as a whole shall be

Altogether the decision seems to us
to be fair and judicial, and we believe
that 1T will prove to be beneficial to
the railroads Experience shows that
in those States where tho two-cent
rate has been enforced, the railroads
have in the main gained more than
they have lost. Moreover. it will re-

has been fixed by the law and for
which the Corporation Commission, and
not the railroads, is responsible.

The Evidence of Experience.

The series OF letters from the af-
Iliated colleges In Toronto which APP
peared in The Dispatch of April

bllity OF the plan for the University
Of Richmond. The presidents OF the
Toronto colleges declare that tho
grouping of the several institutions in
the Capital City has been notable
gain to each college in increased en-
dowment, students and moral pres
colleges from a small town into the
city to enter the aggregation is now
approved heartily upon every hand.
though some of the alumni in tho be-
ginning objected to such removal; and
that the correlation OF the colleges
after the oxford plan has been of posi-
tive advantage to the city as whole
by intensifying interest in higher
learning. These are the three points
at issue in establishing tho Univer-
sty of Richmond, Happily Toronto
has anticipated by experience every
objection that might be urged to the
plan here.
1t is to be noted that the Baptist
Institution in Toronto, MacMaster, is
absolutely independent and separate,
Though adjacent to the other colleges.

Remedy for Car Shortage.

That the car-shortage is regarded as
serious by the railroads is shown by
the determination OF the American
Railway Association, ono of the most
powerful organizations in the country
TO remedy the evil quickly and effec-
lively. At the meeting last week in
Chicago. rule was adopted providing
Il penalty of IS on every road which
fails to return car belonging to an
other line with promptness and dis
patch. This will be in addition to the
daily charge now prevailing; but the lat
ter is q trifle when 1t is remembered
that one company can easily afford to
pay the fees and hold a car which will
twenty four hours when used 10 handle
local freight.
Most of US will agree, of course. that
responsibility for this condition of af-
fairs, which has been disastrous to
shippers and manufacturers alike, is
upon the railroads. Yet the Chicago
Tribune. usually well-informed news
paper, contends that shippers are re-
sponsibIe, inasmuch as they find 1t
more economical to use the cars for
warehouses rather than pay demur-
rage While the railroads hereafter
will doubtless hold the shippers to
a more strict account. the action of
the association indicates that the roads
themselves are the culprits. and they
at last see tho wisdom. of penaiizing
tho car pirates. II something OF this
kind had been done months ago the
feeling against the transportation COM
panies might not have found express
sion in the passage of State laws which
are drastic and against which the rail-
roads protest.

for white men to patronze saloons at
all, but how much more of self-re-
spect Is sacrificed when the two races
commingle in this social manner. Such
practices make right-thinking people
shudder at the contemplation or the
future of men who arc so lost to every
interest which makes man what God
purposed him to be.
Certainly every man and woman In
the city, whose mind Is not bewildered
by sin, would bless the man who would
restrict the liquor saloon to Its very
narrowest limits; for no one really
wishes saloon. The drinker longs
for the temptation to be removed, for

Objection No. s.

In discussing objection No. to the
Torrens system, Mr.. L. c. Massie says:
some lawyers have objected to the
Torrens system because. they say, it
makes the State tho guarantor of titles
and thus puts the State into a business
that should be attended TO by private
enterprise An able lawyer, who has
both written and spoken against the
Torrens system and took the time and
trouble TO travel hundreds of miles 10
appear before the Legislature in oppo-
sition, said: This objection is perhaps
the most important of all l have urged.
Wherever the Torrcns system has been
proposed it has been bitterly fought by
tttle-examiners and by the great title
and guaranty companies. They did their
best to defeat It in Illinois. The Chicago
Title and Trust Company had an in
come of S496952.5S from the examina-
tons OF titles alone in 1903. besides the
revenue 1t reaped from the business of
insuring titles. 1t has always fought
the Torrens system, and its counsel
wrote an elaborate book against it. But
in spite of all the influence of corporate
wealth aud power, sustained by indi-
viuual title examiners, when the ques-
ton of an amendment to make the act
more effective was submitted to the
people, 1t was carried by popular ma
jority of 2li,SS3, only 30,o43 persons out
of an actual voting electorate of 2i1,926
voting against it. And this was after
the act had been on trial in the city of
Chicago and Cook county for seven years.
1t is rather striking that the popular
majority should have been Z TO l after
this actual trial of seven years. And
VIC call attention to the fact that the
state does not become the guarantor or
insurer OF titles under the bill proposed
for Virginia, but the guaranty IS afforded
