Court Decision That Promisee to
Abolish a Railway Custom.
From the <‘hl< tgo Evening Post.
IJy a court dor I son at Bloomington
the hat * heck, by-ineuna of which enn-
ductoia keep tab on their patrons, h.ia
been dealt a severe blow. It was held
that a passenger la not obliged to ihow
nor to produce upon demand the evi
dence the pasteboard gives that he hua
presented a ticket to the conductor;
thla la equivalent to a statement that
the check ranot he used legally an re
ceipt nor hn a method of Identification.
If this finding he sustained by the
higher courts, the problem put to the
railways will be fraught with no In
considerable difficulties. The Mg
transportation systenia can scarcely
devise examinations which shall de
termine beyond debate the perfection
of a conductor’s memory, and that
will he about all the collector ran rely
upon if he be forced to observe the
Bloomington Interpretation of the law.
The litigation arose over the refusal
of the* Owln brothers of Baltimore to
honor a request for hat checks on u
trip to the World’s Fair; these valiant
gentleman contended they had the
right to throw the checks out of the
window of the train should they so de
sire. That their fair find been paid
was the testimony of their slstei, who
claimed she had been a witness to the
transfer of tickets from the anug
pockets of the Brothers Owln to the
willing hand of hte railway represen
tative. When the conductor cost
doubt upon the accuracy of the word
of the three travelers the pother came
that reunited In suit. The *tmi de
manded for Injuries to feelings and
pocket was f 15,000; the verdict was
for $500. but the principle Involved
was of far greater Import than the
financial side of the oontpoversy.
Possibly Cornel lug Vanderbilt, or
some other rising genius whose triVAn-
tlve talent has been applied to solving
the puaxlea pertaining to the opera
tion of the railway*, will urfauge a
little blackboard that may be put In
cars so that pegs or chnlk mark* shall
Indicate what passengers have made
good their Indebtedness to the cor
poration. If no scheme can he ar
ranged as substitute for the lint i heck
tin the event that there la no reversal
of the decision, then Indeed will the
conductor’s lot he a trying one. The
Incident has served to emphasise the
value of the lowly and much-scorned
hat check.
Th.» Deseoralion of Milton's Tomb.
The body of the great poet Milton
was once on view at a charge of three-
pence * bend It was In 1790. after a
little carousal, that two overseers and
u carpenter entered the church of Ht.
Oiler. Crtpplegutc. where Milton lay
hurled, and. having discovered the
leaden coffin which contained his body,
cut open Its top with u mallet and
chisel. "When they disturbed the
shroud.' Nerve says, when telling the
story of the ghoulish deed, the ribs
fell. Mr Fountain confessed that he
pulled hard at the teeth, which resist
ed until some one hit them with 4
atone.” Fountain secured all the fine
teeth In the upper Jaw and generously
gave one to one of hie accomplices. Al
together the scoundrels stole a rib
bone ten teeth and several handfuls of
hair and to crown the diabolical busi
ness the female gravedigger after-
ward exhibited the body to any one
willing to pay three pence for the spec
tacle Westminister Gasette.

HUNTINGTON. W. Va.. Dec. 25.—
Two men are dead and a third is dy
ing from bullets fired In the darkness
tonight while they were going home
from church In Mldklff, Lincoln coun
ty, twenty-five miles from here, with
a young woman- The dead.
Lucian Lucas, aged 22.
Ira Lucas, ?i brother, aged 20.
The dying:
0< tuve Adkins, aged 10.
The Lucas brothers and young Ad
kins, at the close of the service started
home along the railroad track. With
them was Miss Mabel Williams, who
lives near the Lucases.
They were passing through a cut
flanked by dense woods, when they
became targets for a ruin of bullets.
Lucian Lucas, who** arm Miss Wil
li tins was holding, fell dead at her
side. Ira Lucns dropped mortally
wounded, and died In a few minutes.
Adkins received two bullets, one en
tering his breast and the other his
right shoulder; Miss Williams was
unharmed. Left standing alone, with
two dead men and one dying tit her
feet, she turned und rushed down tho
railroad trio ks until she met others
who were returning from church.
When the other church attendants
reached the scene Lucian Lucas was
lying across the track.
His brother was a foot beyond him,
lying against the bank. In his hand
was a revolver and two of Its chamb
ers were empty, indicating that when
the assassins began shooting he pulled
his gun and returned the fire. Adkins
was twenty yards from Ira Lucas, and
he was the only one who manifested
signs of life He did not fo r a moment
regain consciousness and the physlc-
Inas say he never will. He had no
revolver. A search of Lucian Lucas’
body revealed that ho had n pistol but
every chamber was full.
Miss Williams Is a nervous wreck In
consequence of the Awful experience.
Inside of un hour nearly 150 armed
men gathered at the farm house where
the three bodies lay and started out to
run down the assassins. It Is known
that two other young men living near
Mldklff ure desperately In love with
Miss Williams.

The Pursuit of Beauty.
Paris Letter to I/ondon Telegraph.
You must suffer to be beautiful, ac
cording to a French saying. There
seems to be some truth In the Htate-
ment. If a lady’s maid is to be believed.
She ha* revealed the secrets of her
mistress’ boudoir, or. rather, torture
chamber. The lady herself Is now
beautiful, but one wonders thnt she Is
still alive. For months she lay flat on
her back on the floor, motionless, with
her arms close to her sides, during
several hours every day. This was. It
appears, to Improve her figure. During
the rest of the day, for the same period
of time, she sat on a high stool giving
and rocking the upper part of her
body bnckwnrd and forward nnd from
side to side unceasingly. By this pro
cess she is said to have acquired a
statuesque throat and a sylph’s waist.
The lady’s nose, having a soaring na
ture. was corrected and made Grecian
by the constant application day and
night for months of a spring bandage.
One nostril was originally larger than
the other, so nhe wore a small sponge
In It for a year. Her cheeks have been
filled out and rounded hy Injections of
paraffin. Her ears for months were
compressed against the sides of her
head by springs, while heavy weights
were attached to the lobes to produce
the required elongated shape, which
has been successfully achieved. Hav
ing suffered this complicated martyr
dom for a year, the lady, as already
stated, Is now beautiful.
Champagne.
Interview In London T«*lograph.
And what do you say of champagne?
I see that Rheims Chamber of Com
merce has published figures which
show that the number of bottles ex
ported in the year 1903-4 fell off hy
nearly a million and a half, while sales
for home consumption increased more
than half a million bottles.
These figures are Interesting. It Is
very certain that the consumption of
champagne has dropped very largely
here, not only In hotels, as the pub
lished reports have disclosed, hut In
private houses. Yes. I think there has
been a certain change of taste. Whis
ky Is displacing champagne even on
special occasions. People are drink
ing less sparkling wine, especially at
hotels and restaurants, where 12s. to
15s. a bottle Is charged for the best
brands, which cost 7*. or Se. Any
quantity of good champagne Is to be
had—’94. ’99 and 1900 were all good
wine years. But the object of ship
pers is to keep up the price of cham
pagne.

Life-Saving War Doge.
An Interesting demonstration of
what dogs trained In ambulance ser
vice can do in war time In aid of the
wounded has been made nt Wimble
don. England. Two highly trained
dogs, one of them three-parts collie
nnd one-part Esquimaux, and the
other also collie with the same stfftln
of retriever, took part in the exhibi
tion. Round the dogs was strapped a
sort of harness bearing the Red Cross
badge nnd fitted with pockets on each
side containing triangular bandages,
and round the neck hung a keg of
spirits.
The members of the ambulance
corps present proceeded to carry out
a series of displays in which the dogs
found men supposed to he wounded
lying on the heath. Invisible to the
spectators, and. having found them,
picked up the wounded man and com
pleted the first aid. which hy the dog’s
help he hud been able to give himself.
Dogs trained for this purpose are In
use In the German service, many be
ing now In Herrerolnnd. West Africa,
with the German troops In the field,
and there are also many with the
Russian army In Manchuria.
The Breakfast Habit.
From the Chicago Journal.
; Until a century ago "breakfast" con
sisted only of a draught of ale or tea
or choolate. There were only two
meals a day—dinner, ranging from 9
a. m. in the fifteenth century to noon
In the seventeenth, and supper, which
similarly advanced from 5 to 7 o'clock.
But In the eighteenth century dinner
was gradually postponed until 6 or 6
in the afternoon. When It pnaeed
midday, breakfast became a necessity
a* a meal. Before this hunger had
demanded the addition of bread and
some such relish as radishes to the
morning draught. Bui w’hen. a hun
dred years ago. cold meats and fish be
gan to be served at brenkfaet, the ut

Don’t Recognise Defeat.
After twelve thousand of Napoleon’s
soldiers had been overwhelmed by the
advance of seventy-five thousand
Austrian troops, he addressed them
thus: "I am displeased with you. You
have evinced neither discipline *nor
valor. You have allowed yourselves
to be driven from positions where a
handful of resolute men might have
arrested on army. You are no longer
French soldier*. Chief of staff, cause
It to be written on their standards.
’They are no longer of the army of
Italy.' ’*
In tears the battered veterans re
plied: "We have been misrepresented.
The soldiers of the enemy were three
to one. Try us once more. Place us
In the post of danger, and-see if we
do not belong to the army of Italy."
In the next battle they were p!«ced
fn the van. and they made good th*lr
pledge by rolling bock the great Aus
trian army.
He Is a pretty poor sort of man who
loses courage and fears to face the
world Just because he has made s mis
take or a slip somewher- because hie
business has failed, because his pr x p-
erty has been swept away by some
general disaster, or because ot other
trouble impossible for him to avert.
This Ih the test of your manhood:
how much is there left in you_/tfter
you have lost everything outside of
yourself? If you lie down now. throw
up your hands, and acknowledge your
self worsted, there is not much In
you. But If. with heart undaunted
and face turned forward, you refuse
to give up or to lose faith In yourself.
If you scorn to heat a retreat, you will
sho%v that the lert In you is bigger
than your Iosh, greater than your
cross, and larger thnn any defeat.

"Success.”
Whistler’s ‘'Carlyle."
To realize the high plane to which
Henry Wolf has brought the Isolated
art of wood engraving one has only to
see hi* engraving of Whistlers por
trait of Carlyle, which he completed
a few day* ago. The charm of the
color and the very sentiment of the
master’s brush work are nil there. Yet
Mr. Wolf had only hlnck and White
and the scanty technique of pure line,
cross line and stipple with which to
render the equivalent of a great paint

tler. an interpretation almost as won
derful as the original creation. In
this work Mr. Wolf has demonstrated
the value of pure line aa the line of
sentiment. The wall, the floor, the
cloak, coat and face af* all in pure
line. In these days of the dead chem
istry of the half-tone process such an
engraving is a sermon on the value of
