Pillow Toward the Locomotive.

There is only one way to sleep on q
train" said the porter OF sleeping car.
'-and that is with the head toward the
locomotive II I should make I'D ny
berths so that the passengers would lie
with their feet toward the locomotive
they would sleep little. If at all.
The reason IS that with the head
pointed right the blood runs down to the
feet. and the calm head invites sleep
But pointed the other way the head fills
up with blood. the mind becomes ex-
cited. and sleep is almost an impossi-
bility-
1T Is on this account that on sleeping
cars The pillows are toward the engine. :"

COMMITTEES STEP WILL BE AF'
PROVED.

In deciding to require candidates FOR
election 10 the new committee to af-
firm that they voted for the Demo
cratic nominee In the last Presidential
election. the city Democratic commit
tee took a step that probably viii be
approved a large majority of the
local members Of the party. II hardly
would seem necessary to make such
stipulation. as II would seem that
man who did not vote for the presi-
Dental nominees In the last election
would not assume to ask the voters
TO make him member OF the body
that has almost absolute control Of the
party affairs locally. But there is no
saying what win be done in politics,
and it is a good IDEA to ;aae every
possible precaution.
There is nothing stringent or OBJ
jectionable about the new require
ment. Surely no one but Democrats
should be members of the Democratic
committee; if there are any. men In
the city whose party standing should
be unquestioned. it is the men who
offer TO serve On partizan commit
tee. Democratic or Republican.
II man did not vote for the nomi-
nees in the Democratic Presidential
election his arty standing hardly can
be termed the best He might call
himself Democrat, and might be a
Democrat, In spite of his peculiar way
of showing his Democracy. but GER
tainly he has no right to seat on a
Democratic committee.

1t will be hard to satisfy the public

has been practically no reduction that

of people. The already exorbitant

ATCHERLEY
MAKES PLEA
PARANOBAC DOCTOR TELLS JUDGE
WOODRUFF OF PREJUDICED
TRIAL IN LOWER COURT.

The Atcherley habeas corpus case
took up all Judge Woodrufr's morning
and will continue this afternoon. AT
about noon Judge Woodruff stated
that the paramount question at is
sue was whether the case was one or
special emergency in which the Pc
titioner was being imprisoned without
being given the rights guaranteed him
under the Constitution OF the United
States. If he should decide this mat
ter against the petitioner, the Judge
stated that it would dispose of the
other questions, while if he favored
the petitioner in the matter 1t would
mean that the merits of the case
might be taken up. Regardless of this
DIR. Atcherley made a long talk in his
own defense declaring that his trial
by Judge Andrade had been unfair
all through. He was listened to with
patience, though ne made no argu-
ment on the matter before the court.
An adjournment was taken at 1880
till 1:45 p. m. when Attorney Harrison
will argue in behalf OF his client. A
decision will be rendered during the
afternoon.
The indications seem to point
strongly towards the dismissal OF the
writ, which will leave Atcherley open
to appeal to the Supreme Court OF
the Territory. After this means OF
appeal has ben exhausted 1t is possi-
BILE that the constitutionality of the
law may be taken up in the Federal
Court
