DECISION AGAINST THE RAIL.
ROAD COMMISSION.

Through Trains OF Coast Line Cannot
BE Stopped at Latta on Account of
Interference With Interstate Com.
merce.
Washington, Dec. 9.--The question
whether a railroad company can be
compelled upon the order of a State
railroad commission to stop it's fast
mail trains when engaged in interstate
commerce was decided too ~ by the
supreme court Of the United States i'm
the negative in the case of the Allan
tic Coast Line Railroad company VS..
the board Of railroad commissioners
Of South Carolina. The suit arose in
connection with ar effort on the part
OF citizens of the to,n Of Latta, S. c.,
to secure the stopping of two such
trains which daily pass through the
town upon being tagged, and the
commission ordered that stops should
be made whenever the signal should
be hoisted. The railroad company re-
sisted the ruling as unreasonable.
The State supreme court decided
against the company and it imme-
diately appealed to the supreme court
OF the United States with the result
that the relief sought was obtained.
The opinion Of the court was deliver
ed by Justice Peckham and reversed
the decision of the South Carolina
court. The opinion held the order Of
the commission to be an interference
with interstate commerce.

Annoyances In the Theater.

Speaking of the recent rumpus at
a theater here d constant playgoer
says it was really of very little &C
count compared with the disturbance
he frequently witnesses in the most
well ordered audinece, and that is
the going out between the acts of the
men. In front of him the other night
sat young couple who had come 20
enjoy the play. Beyond the lady
were four men who during the evening
trailed back and forth whenever The
curtain came down Eighteen times
by count the lady rose, holding on to
her hat, her programme, her pretty
light wrap as best she could while the
men pushed by, dragging these be
longings with them. To the spectator
it was an atrocious example of bad
manners, yet as the four men had
paid for seats not on the. aisle they
had either to oblige the lady and her
escor. to get up or to sit through the
entire acts like gentlemen.-Boston

No "Phonetic Sense" in English.
1t is because of the havoc which
the present spelling has wrought in
our conceptions of the proper repre-
sentation of sounds that the English
race, as a race, has lost largely the
phonetic sense. Dictate to a dozen
educated Germans or Italians a pas
sage containing large proportion of
words they have never heard before
If the pronunciation has been clearly
conveyed, they will all spell them
the same way, and will all spell them
correctly. Try a similar experiment
with a dozen English-speaking persons
of the very highest cultivation-in
the number it would be desirable to
have certain presidents of our lead
ing universities included. Not only
would they all be fairly certain to
spell the same words differently, but
the same man would represent the
same sound in different instances by
different signs. The reason is obvi-
Gus enough In German or Italian
the same sound is invariably con-
veyed by the same letter or by the
same combination of letters. In Eng
lish the writer would have an in
definite number of letters or com
binations to select from, with no ex-
elusive value attached to any of
them-T. r. Lounsbury, in Atlantic.
