CARS FOR WOMEN A FAILURE.
The Women Don't Want Them and the
II. E. M. Takes Them OFF.

New York, July 8.-The officials Of
the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad
Company have decided to discontinue
the special car for women between
Hoboken mad Twenty third street. Mr..
McAdoo, the president of the road,
when asked said:
when the cars for the exclusive use
of women were started on our line, on
March 81, we stated that they were an
experiment and that the company re-
served the right to discontinue them if
they should not be sufficiently patron
lied We have made long and
thorough test. and much to our regret
we find that there is not sufficient
demand on the part of the women for
exclusive cars. The patronage has con-
stantly diminished. We had it in mind
to make these cars a permanent fea-
ture of our operation had the women
shown by the use of them that they
were wanted or needed. The contrary
seems to be the fact"

SUE TO TEST CHURCH TITLE.
French Heirs Claim Buffalo Property
Worth $1,OOO,OOO.

Paris, July S.-Louis and Henri Lee
coulteux de Caumont and their nephew,
Baron de Biz, descendants of Louis
Lecoulteux de Caumont, pioneer
resident of Buffalo, N. Y, have signed
papers authorizing Donald Harper, of
Paris, and Edmund C. Randall of Buff
falO, to sue in the supreme court of
New York for the recovery of proper
ty in the heart of Buffalo, valued at
81, 100000.
This property was bequeathed be-
tween 1927 and 1888 by the grandfather
of the claimants to the church. The
present conditions imposed by the
testator have not been fulfilled. The
property includes the Church of St.
Louis at Main and Edward streets,
given for a church, and cemetery; a
block of tenements at Delaware ave-
nue. and Edward street, given for a
minister's residence, and reversionary
interests in other properly.
When it was desired in 1889 to re-
build the Church of st. Louis, it was
found impossible to place a mortgage
on the property, as no deed existed.
Mgr. Corrigan, who was then arch
bishop of New York, gave Bishop
Ryan of Buffalo a quit claim deed.
Under the prescriptive statute this
deed will become incontestible at the
end of next month. The present suit
is for the purpose of testing the legality
of the claim of the heirs. The plant
ifs are men of wealth and are inter-
ested in horse breeding.
