Returns Are Not Sufficient TO

Commission Finds.

In a decision announced to-day by the
Public Service Commission on an opin-
ion written by Commissioner Bassett,
the first of the lO-cent fare cases inves-
tigated by the Commission is decided
favorably to the railroad company.
which in this instance is the Brooklyn
Heights The decision continues in Of
feet the exaction Of a 1o-cent fare by
the railroad from the Manhattan ter
minal of the Brooklyn Bridge at Park
Row to Flushing.
The Flushing Association brought the
complaint last summer, alleging that the
Brooklyn Heights Company charged
second fare of five cents to passengers
travelling /. each direction between
Ridgewood and Flushing, and main
tanned that such extra charge was Illegal
and in violation OF the terms OF the
company's charter.
Running Rehind Now.
Answering the complaint, the road
claimed that its act was not Illegal,
maintaining at the same time that its
franchises expressly authorized fare
of at least ten cents. Such fare is rea
sonable, said the company, and a re-
duction would involve such loss as TO be
contiscetory.
The decision OF the Commission. upon
Commissioner Bassett's opinion. in effect
supports this contention. on legal
grounds the Commissioner holds that the
fare proposition OF the Flushing line IS
sound, and finds, from, the facts broush;
out in the hearings, that not only would
the company lose greatly II the fare
were reduced to FIVE cents, or 10 any
sum below 10 cents. but that, az the
present time, even with Decent fare.
the company loses money.
Its per car mile cost OF operation Is so
great, Commissioner Bassett states. that
the lO-cent fare is not sufficient to cover
the cost.
Other Cases Pending.
The lines Immediately affected by the
decision are the Flushing Ridgewood
the Flushing avenue and the Grand
street line. But there are, however.

Carried Of Her Dead BABY,

Some strange and grewsome idea
has led a French woman, presumably
not sane. 10 disinter her dead baby
twice. and TO disappear the second
time with the body. She was first
seen apparently tampering with a
grave in cemetery near Arpajon, to
the south of Paris, and was found to
have laid upon it a baby's remains.
She had dug these up from another
cemetery and wanted to inter them
again in her husbands grave. The
remains were taken from her. and
placed in a provisional tombs. A few
days later the latter was found to
have been broken open, and the body
had disappeared. A few days before
the woman had announced her inten-
ton of making off with the remains.
as she wanted TO have her dead baby
with her awhile. She has gone from
the town where she was staying near
the cemetery. and has not yet been
traced.

Peoples Cure
for Stomach Ills

It would be folly to say that person
should always be his own doctor. There
are times when one cannot be too quick
in consulting competent and reliable
physician, but the fact does remain that
there are many ailments that can be
cured at home at very little expense.
Such remedies can be bought at any
first-ciass drug store for a small sum.
Among the diseases that can be effec.
lively treated at home are such as per-
tain to the stomach, liver and bowels,
like constipation, dyspepsia, biiiousness,
fatulency, sour stomach. bioated stomach. sick
there is no better remedy than DIR. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. the great herb laxative compound.
and among its s.1u-chest friends are the doc
tors themselves. In such troubles they know
they have nothing better TO ofrer than the i'm
gradients contained IN this remedy. and hence
the liberal ones advise their patients to take it.
1t often happens that at the CONNIE ncement
OF an attack some people hesitate to take such q
simple remedy, ana run 20 q Coctor. but after
TRYING various doctors they finally take DIR.

dence rewarded BIZ cure. Il rood case in point
is that of Mr.. Eerr.n, Of Lawrencevi,le. III,
who suffered from what the doctors called Ca,
tarrh of the stomach. He was given up to die
by three leading physicians. He had no appe-
tite. couldn't digest what little he did eat, had
ments when he himself thought he would die.
Ultimately he was advised to try Dr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin and did so. and now he Is entirely
