TRIP TIPS.

The commercial travellers of Louisi-

gage ruling and the Louisiana rail-
road commission has issued an order
that the railway agent shall deliver
baggage at any hour while on duty,
except thirty minutes prior to train
time, and shall receive baggage for all
trains due that day at any period while
on duty. When trains leave before 8
O'Clock in the morning, baggage to be
forwarded shall be received in the aft
ernoon of the day previous.
Two commercial travellers sat in the
lobby of the Hotel Edwards, Indian

able April day.

SALVATION ARMY AIDING
WEAVERS IN INDIA

Consul General William H. Mich
ael of Calcutta, writes that at the
weaving mill of the Salvation Army at
Ludhiana they take in weavers and
teach them to use improved hand
looms, paying them wages from the
first day they enter the mill. The
weaver quickly becomes an expert,
and It is not long before he finds
himself earning $3.50 or s5 a month.
Then he is advised to put a little
bit away" with the object of buying
an improved loom. taking it home
with him, and then doing his work
there. This idea is to be carried out
in other parts of the country, A part
Of the scheme is the establishment of
a central agency for the home weav-
ers of India to (a) supply them with
improved machinery; (b) supply yarn
at the lowest price. and (c) dispose Of
the products in the markets of the

SHERMAN BARRED
FROM 4. RS CHURCH.

Washngton,--A serious minded
usher in the FIRST Dutch Reformed
church, the place of worship attended
! by President Roosevelt, prevented the
vice presidcnt-eleot Mr.. sherman,
from attending services there Sunday
morning In spite of his protesta-
ton and explanations as to his iden-
Ky, Mr.. sherman was not permitted
70 take seat in the edfice. He left,
and sought another place Of worship.
The rebuff TO the next president of
the senate was occasioned by church
rule that worshipers shall not be seat
ed after services have begun. This
was made imperative by the number
Of curious who come late in the hope
of seeing the president at his devo-
tions, much TO the annoyance of the
regular congregation, and the disturb
ance of the service.
Mr.. Sherman declined today to dis
cuss his experience.

NEW CHOLERA TREATMENT
A Physician of India Attains Expert.
Mental Success in Treatment.

A new method for treatment of
cholera described by DR.. R. W. Bur-
kit of Sylhet, India, in a recent issue
of the Medical Times. is summarized
by Consul General William H. Mich
ael of Calcutta:
It consists Of quarter grain injec-
tiOns Of morphine and copious
draughts Of water and hot tea. Doc
tor Burkitt says:
Since I began treating all cases as
early as possible, by quarter grain or
one-third grain of morphine hypo-
dermically, 1 have not lost one pa
tent, provided he was injected early
and before very profound collapse had
set il.
Even when apparently moribund,
and almost all signs of life had gone,
DR.. Burkitt has succeeded in saving
his patient. He discusses the theory
on which his treatment is founded
which is, briefly, that the injection
gives perfect rest, during which the
system manufactures an antitoxin
The liberal administration of water
and hot tea makes up for the enor-
nous loss Of liquid by vomiting and
purging. tea acting as mild stimu-
liant Doctor Burkitt has not found
strychnlne or alcohol Of any advan-
tage and beyond the injection he new
er gives drugs of any kind. As to
diet afterwards, the patient is treat
ed as a newly born infant.

AMERICAN RACE HORSES
SELL IN ARGENTINA

Consul General Alban G. Snyder
writes from Buenos Aires that ]. B.
Haggin and James r. Keene recently
sold at auction in the Argentina capi-
tai some 75 thoroughbreds from their
racing breeding farms in the United
States, in which he comments:
While these sales did not come up
to anticipations, still. taking every
thing into consideration, they were
fairly successful. American horses
are absolutely unknown here, and
everyone turns to England for rae
ing stock Rich and influential breed
ers in this country have imported
prominent stations from England at
fancy prices and expect great results
from breeding them with cheap do
mestic mares. I believe that if the
class of horses desired are sent in
the future they will bring good prices.

LIFE OF CHILD BEGINS
At BIRTH, NOT BEFORE

st. Louis.-Circuit Court Judge
Williams, in a decision which was put
on record today, held that a child's
life begins at birth and not before.
In sustaining a demurrer of a sreet
car company to the suit of Cornelius
H. Buel and his wife for damages for
the death of their four-months-old
son, who, it was claimed, died as a
result Of an accident which occurred
before he was born, Judge Williams
based his ruling upon part Of the
scriptures. He quoted Genesis ii, 4;
the demurrer averred that the child, in
the meaning of the law, was not per-
son at the time Mrs. Buel was injured
five months before the baby was born.

FREIGHT THEFTS
STILL PENDING
ACTION MAY DEPEND
UPON GRAND JURY
Dickens said 10 Have Implicated
Many in his confessions-Said that
Edwards and Ely viii Fight the
Case-Reportcd that Dickens is
Surrendering Wedding Presents as
Part of Loot.

The railroad proceedings in which
Dickens, Edwards and Ely are i'm
plicated in wholesale freight thefts
have assumed rather mysteriou:
phase. The preliminary hearing was
TO have taken place on the following
Saturday that the arrests were made
but was postponed by the district at
torney and the railroad attorneys TO
q later date.
Detective Wood and Attorney
Spencer have left the town and there
seems to be something hanging in the
air. Dickens, the confessed thief vis-
It's the district attorneys office daily
and there are conferences held with
him and the other men that were ar
rested. District Attorney Phelps re-
fuses to make any statement on the
matter and intimates that the men
who are out on bonds will be COM
PEELED to wait until the converting OF
the grand jury for hearing.
There is a report that has gained
credence that attempts have been
made to influence the arrested men
to make confession to petty larceny
and be fined a small amount and then
have the matter dropped. This they
refuse TO do, according to the report
and are intending to fight the case,
having engaged attorneys to defend
them. Pc,
: According to the admissions Of
Dickens, many of the people in Pen
dleton have had a finger in the pie
and some of the most prominent bus
mess men are accused by him. He
IS believed by some to have brooded
over the affair until he has partially
lost his reason. This is indicated by
some of his confessions in which he is
reported to have surrendered several
of his wedding presents as part Of the
loot.
For the reason of the wholesale i'm
plications and the lack OF proof for
any conviction Of the persons accused,
the prosecution seems at loss to
know what to do. If Edwards and
Ely insist on fighting the case, their
trial will come up after their indict-
ment by the grand jury.
What the result of Dickens confess
sion will be is awaited with interest
by the public in general. Whether
he will be given small fine, owing
TO the implications he has made and
released or whether he will be given
a penitentiary sentence, is a matter
OF conjecture. As the matter now
stands an attempt is being made to
secure more evidence and develop
ments are awaited.
