BURDEN PUT ON LUXURIOUS Extra Charge for Trains With ’Ex tras,' Lower Fares for Dry Coaches, Suggested. By SIDNEY ESPEY. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.—As a re sult of the constant cry of railroads for Increased revenues and the op posing demands of the shipping and raveling public for lower rates. It in possible that the clasnl float ion of pas senger travel now common In Europe may be adopted by American rail roads. The proportion ha* the sup port of some members of Congress, who believe that the system could be put into effect in such a way that i he poor could travel more cheaply than the\ now Journey, and the rich, by paying added rater, could have the Insurious appointments which hex demand in railroad travel. There are commonly three classes • f passenger accommodations on ' Kuropean trains, and in some Con tinental countries there are four lasses. The rates bear a fixed rela tion to each oilier. In the same way he accommodations bear a fixed re lation, first-class travel being very om fort able. while fourth-das' 1 offers little compensation for its discom forts except the fact that the trav eler eventually reaches his destina tion Second-class travel Is the standard abroad. Modiflcat ions Proposed. It is predicted that something of this kind max result in America from on#-continued agitation over rail road rates. Second-class travel ac- ootnmodat'on- would be those of the more comfortable day coach and per haps the tourist sleeper. First-class travel would comprise Pullman draw ing rooms, observation platforms, writing rooms. libraries and the fine appointments of "dr luxe” trains. Be low second-class travel the railroads may provide for less expensive equip ment and slower trains If the plan 1« ever adopted, the details must, of course, be worked out by the rail roads In conjunction with the Inter state Commerce Commission. Such a western Is in partial opera- : ion in the United States to-day.

Mrs. Wakefield was sentenced to gether with James Blew, her com panion, for killing her husband. Plew. after arrest, confessed to the plot to slay the husband, hoping thus to save himself from the gallows. Ten days ago, when he was sentenced, he made an abject plea for a lesser sentence than death, offering his confession as his extenuation. But Judge Burpee, before whom he and the woman were tried, said lie could find no circum stances to temper the horror of the crime. Woman Now a Wreck. Until her collapse a few’ days ago, Mrs. Wakefield was a beautiful wom an. She still is young She was Bes sie Webster, the belle of the moun tainside near Hake Qu&ssapaug, where she w'as bom. Seven years ago, when she was seventeen, she eloped xvlth William Wakefield. a farmer twenty years her senior. The marriage was unhappy, as it devel oped soon after the wedding. Two children were born to the Wakefields, children who now are six and four years old. respectively, and who are Ignorant to-day of their mother’s plight. The arrival of the children did not mend the breach between Wakefield and his wife. The woman was un happy until James Plew came into her life. He visited her often, and Wakefield became suspicious. Plew j and the woman determined to kill ; him. They made the attempt once, 1 June 22. but were unsuccessful, as Plew related in his confession. Then, the night following. Plexx lured * Wakefield into the woods, eight miles | from his house, and shot him, stab bed him, and bung the body to a tree. Man Loses His Nerve. Mrs. Wakefield, following the lines ! of the plot, told the police that her I husband was missing. The body was j found several days after, and Plew and Mrs. Wakefield were arrested on j suspicion. The man. losing his nerve, | confessed. In spite of the employ- i merit of the best lawyers for the i woman, hardly a contest could be ! entered to this evidt nee, and the sen tence of death was passed.

A vigorous re ply to an attack on the recently or ganized American College of Surgeons w r as made by members of this body here. Dr. William F. Noble, a grwduate of Kush Medical College in 1888, in ! the last Issue of the Illinois Medical Journal, official organ of the Illinois Medical Society, characterized the American College of Surgeons as "an attempt to engraft upon the demo cratic tree of free American medicine a royal sprout of would-be aristocracy from 'OF Pon’on town.’ ” In the official bulletin of the Chi cago Medical Society, Dr. Henry F. Lewis, a graduate of Harvard Medi cal College In 1888 and professor of gynecology in the Bennett Medical College, calls the American College of Surgeons "a self-appointed nobility.” The two articles, appearing in the official journals of their respective organizations, are taken to represent the sentiment of a goodly portion of the membership, and have attract ed wide attention. Thinks Attacks Petty. E >r. John B Murphy, elected presi dent of the Clinical Congress of Sur geons at the convention held recent- lj', and a charter member of the American Collegd of Surgeons, de clared that the simultaneous at tacks are so petty and so utterly without justification that they are un worthy of a reply. "Concerning any criticism of the American College of Surgeons I have nothing to say,” i>r. Murphy replied to a question. "The names of the of ficers and board of regents of the col lege are sufficient proof of the sincere character and high standing of the men ♦composing the entire body. “Of course, any revolutionary measure always brings opposition, and the whines of the disgruntled ones standing outside and looking In are inevitable." More pointed in his remarks w’as Dr. Franklin H. Martin, secretary of the American College of Surgeons. “Dr. Lewis and Dr. Noble are both men of the highest standing In their profession,” he said. "They are both fully competent to have qualified for membership in the American College, hau they cared to do so, but the trou ble is they are both congenital insur gents. Their opposition is no doubt inspired by sincere motives, but they arc misinformed. Not “Aristocratic Body.” "The American College of Surgeons is not a body of self-appointed aris tocrats, but is a natural outgrowth. A committee was appointed at the Clin ical Congress a year ago in New York to convene in Washington and select 400 noted surgeons in North America as the nucleus of the Amer ican College. To show the impar tiality In making up the present mem bership those constituting the first committee w’ere compelled to undergo the same test as every one else, and as a result a number w r ere dropped, not because of incompetence, but for ethical reasons. "This fact dispnwes any charge that there are three distinct classes of members within the college, such as ‘A,’ those of the original committee; ‘B,’ those elected to membership, and class 4 C,’ those w r ho enter after an examination. To characterize the col lege as aristocratic is ridiculous, as Its membership is unlimited. Any surgeon in North America who can pass the examinations is eligible." 63-Cent Chair Makes Sen, Sherman Happy \\ ASHINGTON, Nov. 28. Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman, of Illinois, is the first Senator on record who found the appointments of the Senate office building too luxurious for comfort. Ht.e offices are handsomely furnished with leather upholstered chairs. Tin- Senator had a furniture dealer send up an assortment of chairs. He took an ordinary kitchen chair that cost 63 cents. It sheds its pale mo lasses radiance on a dark red desk that probable cost T’ncle Sain $200. 1 did my work for twenty years In a ch.iix.like this," said Senator Sher man. "Now I am comfortable." Postmaster 16 Years, Ends Life on Removal I NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—George B I Helinle, for sixteen years postmaster of Nyack, worrying over the loss of his position January 1 next, turned j on the gas and killed himself in the library of his home here. Mrs. Helmle found her husband seated in n reclining chair with a gas tube in his mouth. NEW YORK. Nov. 29.—-"What do you mean by shooting my dog?” or words to that general effect, came from Edgar M. Taylor—second lar gest land owner in South Orange, N. J., war veteran, 74 years old and the father of year-old twins—as a shot grazed his leg and landed in Sam. his collie, which he had taken for a walk late Saturday night. The bullet came from the trusty weapon of Patrolman Theodore Stieve, member of the police force 25 years and well past 65. "Bring!” went another shot, and Sam went to the happy hunting ground. Stieve started away with the ai? - of one who had done his duty, painful as it may have been. With all his war blood boiling within him Mr. Taylor charged at Stieve and a battle of year.** was on. Five minutes it \x aged on the side walk and five more in the gutter. Stieve was about to take the count, when Patrolman Patrick Skeffington came along and dug him out of the mud. Comes Out Almost Unscathed. Mr. Taylor then turned his atten tion to Skeffington. but the allied forces were too much for him and he was marched to the police sta tion. There, little damaged, he was released on his own recognizance for a hearing. According to the police, a neighbor of .Mr. Taylor had complained that his collie was vicious and had bit ten a child. They asserted that Mr. Taylor was warned to keep his dog chained in his yard or it would be shot. Mr. Taylor said of his dog: “Sam was a. gifted dog in many ways. A boy was tormenting the dog with a stick. Sam snapped at him, but only scraped the skin. No complaint has ever been made to me." Dog Played With Children. Mrs. Taylor said that Sam was a great favorite of the children. Be sides the twins, the Taylors have a girl 4 years old. The twins are boys. "Sam,” said Mrs. Taylor, "always went where the children did. He romped in the yard with our little girl and xvlth ail the other children in the neighborhood.” Mr. Taylor has ever been an ac tive citizen of South Orange. As chairman of the Committee on Streets of the South Orange village trustees from 1891 to 18S3 he was most energetic and no one who op posed him forgot it. The villagers have always had re spect fo” his fighting ability, but now that he has tackled the police force even the football heroes of the vacant lots are admitting his prowess. Loses Timepiece in Waters of Bay When Parting With Friend. Bishop Brent. SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 29.— Charles Edison, son of the Menlo Park inventor, while biding good-bye to-day to Bishop C. H. Brent, of the Episcopal Diocese of the Philippines, lost his watch. The Bishop and Edison are old friends. In the final confusion of j leaving ship after the warning bell Edison was standing at the rail with his timepiece in one hand and the palm of the Bishop grasped tightly In the other. "Good-bye, Bishop,” cried Edison. “Good-bye, my son, and good luck,” answered the Bishop. Just then an excited strange! dashed by, jostling Edison’s elbow. "Good-bye, watch,” murmured Ed ison. as the timepiece dropped into the bay. THE GEORGIAN TERRACE HOTEL Is w conducted no both the Amor!nan and Enropnan Plans.
