mysterious "tan man in a long dark

left for dead. deep cash being cut in
his head. his nose broken, and his skull
probably fractured. by a club welded by
the assassin.
The connection between the two cases

have taken up the fresh clews. which they
feel certain will lead them TO the slayer
Of the woman. Shippo and his wife Mary
were the principal witnesses at the cor

believed that both knew more than they
revealed on the stand as to the identity Of
the murderer.

Evils of High Hats.

A French physician has been max
ing experiments to prove that the
wearing Of high hats is injurious.
They cause an abnormal temperature
in the head. To carry out his tests
he has had thermometers inserted in
the crowns of the high hats Of a
number of his friends, and also car
ried one in his own hat. The OBJ
servations he made of the records of
his W thermometer were borne out
almost invariably by those in the hats
of his friends.
In the early morning, when the doc
tor was walking in tie Bots de Bou-
logne, while the shade temperature
was II degrees, the instrument inside
the hat registered 80 degrees. At
noon, when the outer air was at so
degrees, the temperature inside the
hat was 108 degrees. In the evening,
with a cool breeze at SO degrees blow
ing, the top hat temperature was So
degrees. The doctor asserts that this
unnatural heating of the head causes

Queer Royal m

The Kings taste in jewelry is ex-
tremely quiet. A horseshoe or single
pearl pin, CIR a plain gold tie ring,
and a signet ring on his little finger
are all he ever wears, with the simp-
lest possible studs and links. All
those who have played bridge with
his Majesty, however, are familiar
with the heavy gold bangle which
adorns his right wrist.
The German Emperor also wears
gold bracelets on either arm. But
the most singular ornaments worn by
a royal parsonage are the two rings
which the Duke of Orleans wears o.
either little finger, which are attach
ed by a slender gold chain to a bangle
on the wrist.
The late King Of Spain used to
wear a flexible gold necklet, and the
late King Milan had a golden anklet
riVeted on him.-TitBits.

Must Connect at Selma.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has decided in effect that the
railroad commissioners of North
Carolina can compel a railroad COM
pany operating in that State to So
adjust its schedule as to accommo-
! date passengers on other lines from
any particular part of the State. The
opinion was delivered by Justice
White in the case of the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad Company VS.,
the corporation commission of North
Carolina. The case arose out of an
order issued by the commissioners di-
recting the railroad company to
make connection at Selma at 2:25 p.
m. with a train on another line run
ming from the eastern part of the
State, with the object of accommo-
dating passengers whose destination
was Raleigh. The railroad company
resisted the order on the ground that
it could not be complied with without
putting on a special train which
would involve extra expense. This,
it was ~contended, amounted to taking
property without due process of law.
The commission justified its course Oh
the ground that compliance with the
order was necessary to Accommodate
a large part Of the public. The Su-
preme Court of North Carolina held
against the railroad company. and irs
decision was affirmed by the action
of the Supreme Court of the United
States on the ground that the order
of the commission does not affect the
rates but is a proper act of State
regulation.
