To Tennyson truth was a simple
thing. It was simply to be exact. In
this light should be read an amusing
story found in Bran Stokers Person
al "reminiscences Of Henry Irving"
Irving had heard a story that Tenny-
son not long before had been Iunching
with friends in his own neighbOrhood
not far from Haslemere. his hostess
said to him as they went into the din
ing room:
81 have made a dish specially for you
myself. hope you will try It and tell
me exactly what you think of It"
'Of course shall" replied Tenny-
son.
After lunch she asked him what he
thought OF it.
eff you really wish to know" said he.
II thought it was like an old shoe"
When they met, Irving asked Tenny-
son II the story were true.
NO." he said at once. 81 didn't say
that l said something. but it wasn't
that 1t was like an old shoe"
what did you sayT' persisted IrV-
ing.
81 said 1t was like an old boot"

move seems never TO have been satisfactorily
explained 1t may be that he had in mind a

RATE CASE DECISION
Railroads Score First Point
in North Carolina.
NOT A SUIT AGAINST STATE
Judge Pritchard Continues Re
strnining Order. Holding that Com
plant Is Against Defendants, Who
Are Charged with the Administra-
ton and Enforcement of the Act.
Special to The Washington Herald.

Special 20 The Washington Herald.
Asheyille, y. c., June 29-Judge J. c.
Pritchard, in the United States Circuit
Court, to-day decided against the State
Of North Carolina, with reference to- the
reduction Of railroad rates by the legis-
lature. In his decision, Judge Pritchard
says:
1T is charged in the bin filed by the
complainant that the legislature Of North
Carolina, at its recent session, passed an
act regulating freight and passenger
rates. and that by virtue of the provi-
slons Of said act, complainant is about
to be deprived Of its property without due
process OF law. The complainant seeks to
enjoin the enforcement Of certain freight
and passenger rates upon the ground
that the statute prescribing the same is
repugnant to the Constitution Of the
United States.
1T is contended that the lapse Of any
considerable time would expose complain
ant to innumerable suits by shippers and
the travelling public, as well as subject it
to the penalties enumerated in the
statute. Among other things, the COM
plainant prays for an injunction against
the railway commissioners. the attorney
general. and the assistant attorney gen.
eral during the tendency Of this cause.
Restraining Order Entered.
"On the Sth day Of May. 1907, an order
was entered restraining the defendants
from enforcing the provisions of the
aforesaid act, and at that time notice was
issued to the defendants to appear before
me on the 26th day of this month and
show cause why the injunction thus
granted should not be continued until final
hearing.
THE defendants insist, first. that this
is n suit against the State of North Caro-
lima. and that court cannot take jurlsdic-
ton Of the same consistently with the
eleventh amendment Of the Constitution
Of the United States: second. it is also
insisted that the complainant has not
shown facts sufficient to Justify the court
in continuing the injunction until the
final hearing.
Much has been properly said by coun-
sci representing the State IN regard to
the sovereignty of the State and it's right
to deal with this question through its
legislature. That the legislature Of the
State has the authority within certain
limitations to fix freight and passenger
rates is undoubtedly true and "a uni
versally recognized by the Federal courts.
State Laws Acknowledged.
The courts of the United States have
at all times acknowledged and respected
the power of the State in the adminsstra-
ton and enforcement Of its laws within
the limitation Of the Constitution Of the
United States; but while this is true, it is

cause the dead woman permitted another

lowed and without warning, the man
whipped out his revolver and began
shooting The first shot pierced Mrs.
Walkers heart, and she fell ded. The
second struck the elder woman. and she
is now in a critical condition in a hospi-
tai.

was short distance from home. was at

yard. He took him TO task for shooting
about the premises. He then hurried in
doors, and the horrible scene presented
itself, When Walker returned to the
yard, Meishelmer had escaped.

rel transferred the Office Of governor of
Georgia 90 Hoke Smith without a hitch.
Outwardiy all was harmony at the State
Capitol, where Hoke Smith was inaug-
Urated, but there was no harmony at the
executive mansion on Peachtree street,
where Mrs. Terrell, wife Of the retiring
governor. and Mrs. Smith, wife Of the
new executive, came in contact
Mrs Smith had planned a reception i'm
mediately after the Inauguration TO

from all over Georgia to witness the in

the mansion early in the morning to ar
range for the function. Mrs. Smith noti-
fed Mrs. Terrell Of her wishes. but Mrs
Terrell sent word that the mansion
would be turned over to Mrs. Smith at e
o'clock and not minute earlier.
Barred from entering until noon. Mrs.
Smith issued orders to the caterers. and
at II o'clock d long lire of them proceeded
TO the executive mansion. where they sta
toned themselves on the sidewalk, wait
ing for noon. When the clock struck L.
Mrs. Terrell turned over the keys, and the
caterers then filed in and arranged the
refreshments for the gubernatorial recep-
ton
The feeling between Mrs. Terrell and
Mrs. Smith dates back 20 William J.
Bryan's last visit to Atlanta. On that
occasion Mrs. Smith was chairman Of
the ladies' committee which entertained
Bryan, and it is claimed that this com
mittee ignored Mrs. Terrell in making ar
engagements.
Up 10 that time Mrs Terrell as the wife
Of the governor. had always figured on
committees to receive distinguished guests.
Suggests Special Legislation.
IN his inaugural address Gov Smith
suggested special legislation to prevent
corporations from using improper infu-
ence 20 control legislation. He advocated
that all representatives Of corporate in
terests should be required to registered
with the secretary Of State. The legisla-
ture. he said. should prohibit the railroads
from Issuing free passes between points
