Elephants are said to make use OF .
great variety OF sounds IN communicate
ing with each other and in expressing
their wants and feelings. Some are ut
tered by the trunk. some by the throat.
The conjunctures IN which either means
Of expression is employed cannot be
strictly classified. as fear, pleasure,
want and other emotions are sometimes
indicated by the trunk, sometimes by
the throat. An elephant rushing upon
an assaIlant trumpets shrilly with fury.
Fear is similarly expressed In a shriIl.
brassy trumpet, or by a roar from the
lungs; pleasure by a continued low
squeaking through the trunk or an al
most inaudibIe purring sound from the
throat. want-as a calf calling its
mother-ls chiefly expressed by the
throat 4 peculiar sound Is made use OF
by elephants to express dislike or sp-
prehension. and at the same time 10
intimidate. as when the cause Of some
alarm has not been clearly ascsrtained
and the animals wish to deter an in
truder. It is produced by rapping the
end OF the trunk smartly on the ground,
a current OF air hitherto retained being
sharply emitted through the trunk a.
from a valve, at the moment Of impact.
The sound resembles that Of . laEgs

Passenger Rights on Railway Trains

into the car by another woman. Instead
Of suing the owner OF the dog the in
Jured party sued the railroad.
The case was decided IN favor OF the
bitten passenger. The court declared
that the railroad company had no right
to carry dogs IN passenger cars.
The passenger has no protection from
drafts. This contention has been set
tied by the highest court Of Kentucky.
Concerning POrters.
A careless porter crushed the hand Of
a woman passenger between the wall OF
a sleeping car and a table. The passen-
ger sued the railroad for damages and
obtained a verdict for 5000
The verdict was affirmed by the high
est court in Alabama. which declared
that a railroad could not escape liability
on the ground that the injury was in
hicted in a car owned by another COM
pany, and that the porter exercised con-
troll over the sleeping car with the as
sent Of the railroad
On the other hand, the passenger Is
bound to exercise reasonable care in pro-
tecting himself. A Massachusetts man,
unable to ind a seat on a train, re-
mained standing.
Unfortunately he chose q place in the
open door from which be was hurled to
the ground by an unusual lurch Of the
car. He sued for damages, but the court
decided against him on the ground that
he was guilty Of contributory negligence
in standing IN the doorway.
A very valuable right Of a passenger
is that which entities him to 9 lower
berth in a sleeping car. In the main
tenance Of this right he has the support
of the appellate division Of the New
York Supreme Court.
A passenger bought a ticket from San
Tex, to New York City, to-
gether with lower berth. He occupied
1t from San Antonio to New Orleans.
Here he had to. change cars.
He found tbat his berth had been sold
twice, and the other owner was in pos
session. There were no unoccupied
lowers. He was obliged to ride for two
and q half days IN a coach.
He sued for damages and obtained a
verdict for S, the price Of the
lower berth. This verdict the ap-
pellate division set aside, the learned
Judges declaring that the price Of the
berth was not adequate compensation
for the discomfort and Inconvenience
which he had endured

The Prince Was Hungry.

and got little enough even Of that. So

Interesting Variations in the Different States as
Compiled by Substantially Collection
of Court Decisions

to throw the man on. On this point
courts differ. Some have held that q
brakeman may eject passengers from
trains, while others maintain that only
conductors may DO so.
The Supreme Court OF Mississippi has
decreed that a carrier or railroad is not
required to assist passengers to board
trains or TO alight.
But the court also held that II a car
rier stops its trains where passengers
cannot enter or leave cars without diff
ficulty, 1t is the duty OF the conductor
to assist them.
Variety of Decisions.
Regarding the time and place to de-
train, the courts in different States have
handed down a bewildering variety Of
decisions. In many cases It has been
decided that the announcement of a sta
ton is not in itself a notice to alight.
The passenger has a right to leave
the train at any regular stop, though It
may not be his destination. The courts
have 50 held in many cases But II he
e injured while doing so. the possibility
Of recovering damages Is rather slight,
for the courts would probably adjudgs
him guilty Of contributory negligence.
A North Carolina man, who boarded a
Ter three children, broke his leg in leap
ing from the car after It had started
He sued for damages and secured them.
In this case the man had taken the
precaution to notify the trainmen that
he was boarding. the train only to find
seat for his daughter. He hurried
from the car without delay, but the train
started with such. a violent Jerk that
he had to jump.
Buried in the railroad laws Of the
State Of New York Is q brief paragraph,
the purport OF which Is that II a rail-
road refuses to check a Passengers bag
gage, 1t must pay the passenger SO, and
II Is further enjoined from collecting
fare from him.
A valuable right Of the passenger is
that which entities him to have baggage
This right has been upheld by the high
est courts.
What Constitutes Baggage.
Some uncertainty seems to exist as to
what constitutes baggage. It is estab-
bshed that jewslry for personal use Is
baggage, while jewelry fer sale is not.
Samples are not baggage, but II the road
checks his samples as baggage the pre-
sumption Is established
The courts have held that the road
knows what the trunks contain. and
hence II they are lost they must be con-
Sidered a. baggage.
In q New York case Il was decided
that passenger arriving at his destina-
ton on Sunday, during which secular
work Is forbidden by law. was not ex-
eused from calling for his baggage un-
I'll Monday.
Another valuable right OF the passen-
ser is protection against dogs.

Up to 1893 no fewer than ffty-three vol
umes of railroad cases had been collected,
compiled, indexed, and digested by law
reporters. These, Of course, represent but
a small fraction OF railroad litigation, for
they are only those cases which have been
carried to a final decision.
Estimated roughly, these ffty-three vol
umes contain twenty thousand cases, COW
ering abstruse variations on every con-
ceivable issue that can arise between .
railroad and its patrons, says the Railroad
Mems Magazine.
II a man should leave the car and clean
the headlight Of the locomotive at the re-
quest of the fireman and Is injured while
doing so, he does not lose his character
Of passenger. He is entitled to damages,
as a certain railroad man learned to its
sorrow when the matter was carrid to
the highest court OF Alabama.
On the other hand, a man who has &C
tuaIly purchased q ticket and Is in the
waiting-room OF a railroad may not be
passenger. A citizen Of Massachusetts,
who had bought his ticket but had missed
his train, fingered in the station, waiting
for a street car on which to return home.
Shortly afterward a locomotive crashed
through the wall of the waidng-room
and he was injured. He sued for dam
ages, but the courts decided that he was
not a passengr because he had not left
the company's premises within a rea-.
sonable time" and, therefore, could not
recover.
A still more aggravating disappoint-
ment befen an Iowa man who purchased
a ticket and boarded a train to which
his ticket did not giNe him admission.
He was elected by railroad man, and
sued for damages. When he admitted
knowledge Of the fact that his ticket
did not entitle him to ride On the train
he lost his case
Fine Distinctions. r..
In litigation Of this sort there are
some rather ine distinctions An Ohio
man who acted as did the Iowa man
triumphed over the company, because
the conductor punched his ticket, al
though. the limited did not stop at the
station indicated by the ticket.
The courts Of various States have often
ruled that railroads can order certain
trains not to stop at certain stations, but
1t was the punching OF the ticket that
won the ohioan's case. The court re-
gsrded IT as evidence that the company
had accepted him as q passenger In vio-
lation OF its own rule.
A youth who was stealing q ride was
thrown from the platform by q lump OF
coal hurled by a railroad man while the
train was IN motion
The court held that the company had
no right to eject either q passenger or
q tresspasser without hrst stopping the
train. The youth received 1850 for the
injuries which he suffered.
The Supreme Court Of Kentucky has az
hrmed q verdict for damages sustained
by a man who was thrown from . nov
ing train by brakeman. He had Of
fsred to pay his fare II the conductor
were summoned.
