McAllister in Demand.

NEW YORK, Dec 18.-Since Bob Nc
Allister established himself last week
in his fight with Young Mike Donovan,
the middleweight situation has cleared
considerably and McAllister is in great
demand. He is rated as one of the
cleverest men in his division and has a
record list that stamps him much above
the average. Bob is one of the new
school of fighters, one of the McFar-
land, Richie and Gibbons type. There
is nothing of the ''roughneck" about
him. He says he is willing to meet all
lions, and these are not difficult

All sorts of rumors come from Paris

ever, that Jack is anxious to land

Please understand that l express no

now my story begins.
Of the passengers who came from

Mississippi south of Vicksburg or from
Tennessee or Louisiana has ever pre-
scented claim. If the company should
pay all the claims that have been
presented, the amount would be pro-
hibitive, while by refuing to pay the
claims, it has embarked upon shore
less sea of litigation.
Damage Suit Litigation in Mississippi.
A peculiar feature of damage suit

very little faith in punitive damages.
! have seen too much of them, They
are not corrective. In the first place
the punishment never falls on the
guilty party 1t dosn't even fall on
the officers of the company. AS for
the stockholders, they never even hear
about it. Things go on inevitably Just

where man who pays heavy damages
out of his privy purse may be led to
change his ways. But how the con-
duct of an engineer, for example. will
be improved by the railroad company
paying a heavy verdict instead of buy
ing some new cars, or putting ballast
on its track is as hard for me as the
three things that puzzled Solomon. The
public does not realize that the power
of railroad company to discipline its
men has passed very largely away
from the railroad companies into the
hands of the great national labor I'M

the engineer might hear something to
his advantage, but the money paid out
of the treasury of the railroad COM
pany will never spoil his sleep. He
may even smile to see the company pay
the money. The jury perhaps retires
from the box with the virtuous feel
ing, that they have indicated justice
and punished the wicked, when the
fact is that they have only prevented
from being made some very desirable

cost of living. What is the good?

several years ago suit was brought

man. This whole class of litigation,
which is based upon the theory that
proper Difference has not been paid to
the plaintiffs personality, cuts no
figure whatever in any of the states
along our lines, except in Mississippi.
1t is a very much more serious mat

negro in Mississippi than to a white
man in Iowa or Illinois, and in case of
personal injuries, the negro will re-

to the popularity of the plaintiffs law

fact that the professional man also

supposed that one reason why yerdicts
are twice as large in Mississippi as
they are in some other states is that
an allowance is made for the plaintiffs
lawyers fees, and the damages are
adjusted by the jury on the theory
that they ought to give twice as much
as they expect the plaintiff to really
get out of the litigation; otherwise, he
will not receive the amount that the
jury thinks he ought to have It is
of course very bountiful way to ad-
justice, as the result of which
wrongdoer pays twice what would
redress the grievances complained of,
and the plaintiffs lawyer does not
seem half so fascinating a fellow to
the railroad company as he does to
the jury. Perhaps we have here a
survival of the spirit of the cavalire,
who never asks the price of anything,
which of course is all right if the cav
alier pays the bill, but one must for
