suggested Ansberry.
Again the Filipino pronounced 1t for
him.
"oh. don't believe I'll ever be able
TO say that the way you do" said Tim.
1T sounds = good deal like Casey. You
seem like a nice smart little fellow, so I
think I'll just call you Casey. That's a
blamed sight better name than what you
said. See. what's your first? Manuel eh?'
Very well. we'll change the Manuel to
Michael and you shall be known as
Michael Casey
And so far as Tim is concerned,
Michael Casey is the Philippine commits
sioner's name. He never calls him sny-
thing else.
Representative George White. Of Mari
eta, Ohio. who made a fortune in the
Klondike a few years ago. sat eating a
portion Of strawberries and cream in the
House restaurant. When he paid his
check there were still three or four
though his helping had been.
Shows what a difference time and
place and conditions make" remarked
White. when came out of the KIon-
dixie, after living on Klondike straw
berries-that is, beans-for many months,
a party of us struck a little restaurant
at the border Of civilization where we
could get real strawberries and cream.
They seemed to me such an improvement
over beans that I remember distinctly
Of startling my companions by eating
eight heaping dishfuls of the things.
Now can't even consume all OF this
dinky layout Of berries that we have
with us on this beautiful spring day. I
could probably make more OF showing
with beans"

With all his reputation for being deep

The above tragedy shows the ex-
tremcs. The blackguard not only ruined
a young girls life, but that of good
man. Yet his crime, at least at first,
was probably overlooked; possibly it
was not generally known.
Contrast the two cases. The rascal, for
all that is known, to the contrary, may
be happy and living in afiuence, pro-
viding his conscience does not trouble
him. the Good Samaritan gave his life
TO balance the evil of the other. He is
dead and soon will be forgotten.
Draw your own moral, make your
own conclusion. Whatever it is some

general will take such a strict view on
these problems that the man or woman
who transgresses viii be cast out. Then

rather remarkable discovery was
made in the hospital when the appendix
OF John Legeune. a youth or eighteen
years. OF Elton. was removed. Assistant
House Surgeon Cole. who performed the
operation. found \ Pin looged IN the sp-
pendix. It seems that the point had
penetrated the appendix az time rather
recent. and brought on the severe attack
the patient suffered. Legeune could not
tell the surgeons when he had swallowed
the pin. II Is believed that II happened
when he was a chilo. and II passed into
the appendix and remained there IN q
position which did no serious injury until
recently. when It shifted and the point

CALLS CARS ANT1oUATED.

c. II. Baker Complains to Commits
sioners About Bridge Line.
Complaint against the cars Of the
Georgetown branch Of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company and OF
the Great Falls and Old Dominion Rail-
way was voiced in a letter received by
the Commissioners yesterday afternoon
from c. II. Baker. OF the Pan-American
UniJn. The communication was referred
to the District Railway Commission for
action.
Mr.. Baker complains that the cars are
inadequate and antiquated. Hs says that
although the bridge ears" crossing the
Aqueduct Bridge are supposed to connect
with the cars Of the Virginia line, they
frequently fail TO do so. When the bridge
car misses connection. he explains. II
means a wait of twenty or forty minutes
for persons who desire to take the Ar

woman's PrivleEe. I'm Kansas.

From the New York American.
Kansas is famous for many things. and
now her attorney general declares sht
leads the States in liberal provisions fol
women. For instance. a woman can hold
any elective office there; she can wear
trousers II she likes; she can retain her
maiden name after she Is married; she
can hold property which her husband
cannot touch. and sell 1t without asking
him, and II she is able, she can persuade
her husband to give up his name and
take hers.
In only few OF the Eastern States can
woman practice law, but there are
more than sixty women attorneys in Kan
sas, also more than q hundred woman
physicians.
There may be a wild feminine rush for
the plains of the sunnower State when
these facts become generally known.

BALTIMORE LOSES CASE.
Lower Fares from New York
Forced by Composition.

Forced by Competition.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
yesterday dismissed the complaint Of the
Merchants and Manufacturers AssocIa-
tion, Of Baltimore, against the Atlantic
City Railroad. the Pennsylvania Lines
and the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. in
which ii was charged that the railroads
subject baltimore to undue prejudice in
passenger excursion fares from Balti-
more TO Atlantic City. and give unrea-
sonable prejudice to New York in simi-
lar fares from New York TO Atlantic
City, and also that the fares from Balti-
more are unreasonable.
In its decision, the commission stated
that the evidence taken indicates that
the lower fares from New York are
forced by competition. and that the vol
ume Of the traffic from New York Is
about six times that from Baltimore.
