TRAVEL MAKES TRAVEL.
Trolleys and Autos Seem to Increase
Steam Railway Business.

From the Railway Age Gazette.
The records of railroad traffic show in
passenger miles a mile an increase since
1901 OF "a per cent. as compared with AZ
per cent in freight ton miles a mile: and
even during the panic period. 1907 -OS. they
increased about , per cent, while freight
business decreased nearly s per cent.
Hard times in business admittedly hit
the freight business first particularly
that branch OF il that covers factory
products; passenger traffic is affected
later and often only after considerable
interval. Yet. on the theory that bust
ness travel should go with business ITSELF
one would think that the upward and
downward curves of freight and passen-
ger traffic should CORRESPOND pretty
closely.
The seeming anomaly of disparity be-
tween the two is deepened by the fact
that during the last decade there have
been some special and familiar forces
operating adversely to passenger traffic.
During that period the iong-distance tele-
phone has come In more and more as q

has been the extension OF competing
street railways, using tne TERM 10 iuciuuc

The long-distance telephone has had
hardly perceptible qualifying feature.
Now and then IL may enable Brown to
notify Smith to make a railway journey,
but in the vast majority of cases II is a

HAVING SAVED MOTHER,
NURSE, EXHAUSTED, DIES
Av Smith Jackman Forced to
Lay Aside Her Pen Before
Completing Last Story.

NEW YORK, November 2j.-The death
from exhaustion Of Miss Ayi Smith Jack
man. novelist and short story writer. was
announced here today. She died late yes
terday at her home on Madison avenue,
after having nursed her mother, who is
Ill with pneumonia, day and night until
the crisis Of the sickness was passed
safely.
Although Miss Jackman was prolific
writer and once quite successful, she
died penniless, and charitable organi-
zation will have charge of the funeral
and take care of the mother and sister
Two weeks ago Miss Jackman received
an order for a serial story based on the
Beattie murder and she expected the
proceeds Of this to cover the expense Of
her mothers convalescence.
The manuscript OF the story, nearly
completed under the title, WAS He
Guilty, Or the Serpent's Trail,'' was in
her hand when she died.
Fifteen years ago Miss Jackman was
not unknown in the literary world. One
of her books, "Fatima," attracted favor
able comment from reviewers and it was
believed her career would be bright Then
adversely compelled her to accept hack
work and she had never been able to
take up her earlier and more pretentiOus
literary efforts.

TO SEPARATE
MOTHER AND CHILDREN
Judge De Lacy Criticises
Those Responsible for Peti-
ton Filed in Court.

In refusing to grant a petition of the
board Of children's guardians yesterday
afternoon to place the two small children
of Mrs. Sadie Gabriel in the boards Gus
tody because of the poverty of the home,
Judge De Lacy of the Juvenile Court
criticised the persons responsible for the
petition, declaring it was contrary to the
declarations and ideals expressed on
1.-The Conservation of the Child the
principal subject discussed at the annual
meeting Of the Associated Charities
Wednesday night.
Not in Accord.
Judge De Lacy declared the board was
asking him to do something exactly op-
posite to the views expressed by Judge
Julian Mack of the Commerce Court and
DR.. William M. Davidson, superintendent
of schools. the principal speakers at the
asked for the custody or John and Ed
ward Gabriel of l2S AZ street southwest.
The petition described The poverty Of the
home
Il shall refuse to separate these little
children from their mother simply be-
cause of poverty in the home,' said
Judge De Lacy to a representative of the
board who appeared In court,
Scores Charity Organizations.
The charity organiza tons gather at
night to talk of the conservation OF the
child he added, land then they come to
ask me to violate the very principles
which are advocated. These children
must be helped now. If they are taken
away from their mother now, i. will not
leave any senst Of obligation to their par
ents. 1t would be d crime to grant this
petition. What has poverty to do with
it? If the family can't get along, then
there IS good chance for organized
charities of the city to lend helping
hand. This petition is denied. Let the
little ones go home to their mother
The father of the children was sent to
Occoquan for six months earlier in the
week, following his conviction for failing
to support his wife and family. The
father spent most of the money he made
in southwest saloons. According to the
testimony submitted during his trial. he

Strange Frying Pan.
q the Rome Weekly Mundus.

From the Rome Weekly MunduS
One day NJ. Sommerand, curator OF the
Cluny Museum, went into small res
taurant in the suburb Of st. Denys. a
restaurant Of the kind where the dining
room and the kitchen are one and the
same room. While waiting to be served
his eye was caught by a frying pan Of
an unusual shape which was hanging on
the wall.
He took 1t down, rubbed of some Of the
SCOT with which it was covered and made
out part of an inscription To the sur
prise OF the hostess he offered to buy
the old pan, an offer she joyfully ac-
cepted, doubtless thinking her customer
somewhat mad.
When the copper plate was properly
cleaned it wasfound that it bore the arms
OF France and Navarro surrounded by
the chain Of st. Louis and the cord of
the order of the st. Esprit and the fol-
lowing inscriptions: Here lies the mag
nificent Prince King Louis XIV, King Of
France and Of Navarro. Requtescat In
pace"
1t was evidently the plate which had
been attached to the coffin OF Louis XIV,
and when the vaults of the Bourbons at
st. Denys We're rihed by the populace in
1893 1t had been carried off. fitted with q
handle and turned into a frying pan. 1t
is now in the Cluny Museum; the handle
has been removed, but the three holes
remain showing where 1t was attached.

ITO one who is not familiar with Tripo-
