BAD PLACE TO RIDE

San Antonio, Texas. Feb. 2s.-Af-
firming the decision of a lower court,
Chief Justice James of the Fourth
Court of Civil Appeals in this city rem
dered an opinion which is likely to
have a far reaching effect in litigation
of that kind. In the original suit. Mrs.
Hannah B. McElroy was awarded dam
ages amounting to $4,000 for the loss
of her husband, a telegraph line re-
pairer employed by the International
and Great Northern railroad. McEl-
roy at the time he lost his life was rid
ing on a locomotive for the purpose of
locating defects in the telegraph lines
OF the railroad. He was sitting on the
cow-catcher when the engine was de-
rallied and caused his death. The
railroad appealed the case on the
ground that McElroy was guilty of
contributory negligence by having Sc
lected the cow-catcher on which to ride
when a safe or safer place was availa-
BILE. Justice James while admitting
the value Of this argument based his
decision on the fact that it was not
the selection Of the cow-catcher as a
place on which to ride that has caused
the death of the lineman. but the fact
that the engine had been derailed. In
view of the fact that McElroy's life
might have been spared had he been
in the cab of the engine or possibly on
the tender. this is rather important
decision. more so since the selection
of the cow-catcher was entirely vol.
untary on his part.

The Actors Meeting With Gladstone
Outside the Theater.

Outside the 1heater.
John Hare. the eminent English
actor manager. said that the most de
lightful compliment he ever received
was from MIR Gladstone. 1t was a
double ended compliment. Whichever
way you took it il was satisfactory.
Mr.. Hare earned fame playing OLD
mems parts. his character as Mr.. Gold
by in "A Pair of SpectacleS" being n
good example. Added 10 this WAS n
horror of having his picture taken.
Mr. Gladstone had never seen a pic
ture Of the actor. but he knew him
well behind the scenes as we'll as he
fore the footlights. The preniers IA
vorite play was "A Pair OF Specta-
cles," and he always went behind the
scenes to chat awhile with the actor.
The really old man and the made up
old man would sit there and talk IN
the most delightful way for an hour
after the show.
One day the Earl Of Rosebery had
Mr.. Gladstone To dinner. and he also
invited his friend John Hare. The
actor came in smooth shaved. looking
about thirty-five. He was presented
to Mr.. Gladstone. and the prime min
lister shook his hand mos. cordially
and said:
My dear sir. I am very. very glad
to meet you. l know your father very
very well. Splendid actor! Fine old
man."
1t took the whole evening for the
earl and Mr.. Hare to convince him
that this son was really the father.

SCIENTISTS TALK
LABELED hot AIR
Father Adams Says There Is
No Danger from Gases of
HaIIey's Comet.
HE GIVES AN ILLUSTRATION

AT REGULAR INTERVALS FOR

by socalled scientists in various parts

of Halley's comet will presently poison

Father Adams, S. j., professor of as
tronomy at Gonzaga College of Spo-
kane. made the foregoing observation
in referring to statements attributed
to observers in California and else
where
"Halley's comet has been sizzling
around it's ordained orbit century after

1T seems that such incidents in

have a slight tendency to affect the
increase of population and check the
progress Of human events generally.
Very little suspicion along this line is
sufficient antidote for sensational pre-
dictions as to Halley's comet, even
though they are made by alleged sci
entists.'
Father Adams claims he has definite
ly located the comet, having seen it
through telescope the night of Febru-
airy %. saying:
THE moon is 50 bright just now that
it is different to catch the light from
anything else, but the comet showed
fairly we'll. There were little strcaks
out from the edges that l judge to be
evidences of the tail. The comet may
be visible to the naked eye early in
March at the, speed It is travelling, but
not sooner. To locate it, take the
line formed by the lower stars of the
constellation Orion and follow it north
to a point just above the planet Sat
urn. On that line above and slightly
west of Saturn the comet should be
found, but not without at least four
inch glasses"
