Indianapolis, Nov. H. Merely telling another person to take any particular article or series of articles and "go to blazes" with it or them does not lepally constitute a transference of property rights. This was the opinion handed down by W. C. Smock, justice of the peace, who had been Informed that "William Case had told his wife I.ydia to take their household goods and "go to bla7.es with them." "I do not believe that Case legally gave the goods to his wife," said Justice Smock. "Such a statement would hardly be regarded as attending a gift." So, regardless of whether or not she obeyed her husband's Injunction as to Ihe furniture and its destination, the corrt decided that Mrs. Caso was not entitled to the disputed articles.

The wages of all employes of the Pennsylvania railroad system on lines east and west of Pittsburg are to be increased. Nearly 150,000 men will be affected. It is probable that the increase will be effective on December 1. The management is considering the proposition to grant an increase of 10 per cent to all employes whose salary per month is less than $500. The monthly pay roll of the system averages about $10,000,000. The total number of employes on the combined systems affected is 133,565. This announcement came as a complete surprise as it was not known that the management of the company was contemplating any such move. It also means that the demands of the train men and switchmen will in all probability be settled In a short time as far as the Pennsylvania is concerned. The wage question will now be a back num ber and the demands for better working conditions will probably be settled at the meeting to be held next Monday afternoon. LOW RATES TO PACIFIC COAST.

Bail was supplied by representatives of the New York Transportation company, the strike of whose chauffeurs resulted in the rioting. None of the mob was arrested. Attacked with Stones. The episode which resulted in the foregoing proceedings was exciting and was murderously conducted on ths part of the mob. The party attacked, and the members of which were arrested and held in bail as narrated above, left the New York Transportation company's garage at Fiftieth street and Eight) avenue about 7:15 p. m. and boarded a street car. Lookouts of the strikers saw them leave and the word was passed along. It was not until the car got to Forty-second street that there was any trouble. Then a heavy stone came through one of the windows. Sortie of the strikers followed after the car, and from time to time stones pounded on the sides or tore through the windows. Supply of Deadly Missiles. Near the excavation for the Pennsylvania tunnel is a place where there Is a lot of cobblestones piled up. There the strikers got a supply and from that point to the corner of Thirtieth street they hurled stones with such good aim that there was not a whole window left in the car. The special policemen lost patience when the car got to Thirteenth street and appeared suddenly on the rear platform and drew their revolvors. The sight of the weapons was enough to make the crowd scatter, except the attacking strikers, who followed on, tak ing greater precautions as to cover from which to attack. Bullet Finds a Rioter. Finally stones, any one of which would have killed or seriously Injured any person it struck, flew close to the men on the platform. That settled it for the special? and they opened fire. Afterwards a policeman found Lambe lying on the sidewalk near Twenty ty-ninth street bleeding from a wound In his throat. The strikers scattered when the police arrived.

Fads and Philanthropy By INA WRIGHT HANSON Covvright. 190C, by E. C. Parcels

Honor Wilding, looking steadily out a window of the city library, was seeing visions, all of which concerned a yellow haired young men. Each vision was rose color at the beginning and somber gray at the ending. That she herself was reasonable for the tinting did not alter the fact that Honor's eyes were wistful and her lips very near to trembling. She turned from the window to the readers, wondering aimlessly if any of them had had ideals and were sorry. Finally her eyes traveled to the farther corner, where were the newspaper files. There stood a man, his back to her. He was very shabby, but he had yellow hair, and he was about the height. Just then he turned a little and began tightening his belt. Honor heard the noon bells ringing. She had heard that if one were very, very hungry It helped a little to gird one's waist very tightly. Poor fellow! Then he turned entirely around and took up his ragged hat. Honor dropped her magazine, her gloves, her purse, her handkerchief and her parasol and sprang toward him. "Why, Mervln Fairbanks, how glad I am to see you!" "Well, well, how my fame as a prophet soars! I said that you should not see me again till you would be glad of the sight. And how goes the gay world with you, Miss nonor Wilding?" Honor expected him to shrink from her, ashamed of his apparent poverty, but she remembered he usually had done the unexpected. He picked up her belongings, and they went out. Standing in the shadow of the graystone building, she lifted hesitating eyes to hla. "Will you come home with me, Mervin? I want so much to know of your wanderings these past two years." She was surprised again at his quick consent. She remembered Mervln Fair"WHY, iTEBTTK FAIRBANKS, HOW GLAD I AM TO 8KB TOXJ !" banks as furiously proud of his pedigree, his good name and his appearance. What could have happened to reduce him to poverty and to change his nature? "You expect to hear of Paris and London and maybe Egypt and India?" he asked after luncheon was over. To Honor's third surprise he had eaten very little. "I haven't been outside San Francisco until yesterday." Honor regarded him with reproach. "You never let me hear from you," she said. "What was the use? You said it was all off between ug. I couldn't be ag philanthropic aa you desired, and I didn't like to pretend that I might grow to it, because I know I shouldn't How are your proteges?" Honor colored. "I don't know." Mervia smiled at her quizzically. "Did Bacagalupl rob your house, or Morlarity take to the black bottle again?" "Not exactly, but what I did for them didn't seem to last. They were constantly expecting more. I simply got tired of it all and stopped. Then I realized that it was only a fad anyway, like my cat farm and other things. I woke up one day to the realization that Honor Wilding was deceiving herself; that she was only egotistical when she thought she was charitable. I haven't had any fads since. I have been humble and miserable," she added under her breath. He smiled tenderly at her. "You were only trying your wings, little girl." She looked at him gratefully. "But, Mervin, tell me of yourself, your your the past two years." She wanted to ! ask him why he came to be reduced to so dismal an appearance, but she hesitated." "Let me see," he mused. "I asked yon to marry me when you were eighteen. That was five years ago, wasn't it?" "Yes," acknowledged Honor, her heart beating furiously. "And you refused because you were anticipating a career. It was to ba woEia'3 rights, I belieTe.w

Honor, her eyes downcast, was twisting her bracelet nervously. "Then when you forgot your speeches and had several unpleasant encounters with unpleasant people you decided that you wvre mistaken in your calling." "Yes," said Honor again. "When you were twenty-one I aked you to marry me. Then it was the cat farm. I think possibly you might have let me be a partner that time, only I objected to the cats. I didn't mind one feline pet, but I believe I used some emphatic language in regard to the farm." "You certainly did," answered Honor, smiling faintly. "The third and last time was two years ago, when the farm had lost Its glory and its cats. You were Honor

Wiiding, philanthropist, then. You told me if I would join forces and j fortunes with you in your life's work that you would be pleased 'to walk mit me,' as your friend, the scrublady, said. I couldn't see it that way, and you remarked that I loved myself better than you. and o we parted." "I was unjust," murmured nonor. "I have been sorry many times." "I resolved to go away and forget you. I did the one, but not the other. I want you this minute more than I ever desired you in my life, and my eyes tell me that you are not indifferent. Honor, my little girl, will you wait for me till I can come to you as a man ought" But she was leaning forward eagerly, her eyes suffused with tears, her sweet lips trembling. "Why must you go away?" the pleaded. "Don't let a wretched matter of money part us now. We have lost five years, Mervin, and I have dollars a-plenty for both. Don't let your pride stand between us now, Mervin." For a moment he looked at her curi ously; then he smiled, albeit his eyes were gravely tender, and he put his arms around her. "Dear," he said fervently, "I'm richer than you are twice over. I've kept on making money these two years, just so I shouldn't think so hard. I was going to ask you to wait till I went to the hotel and arrayed myeelf in decent clothes before we plighted out troth. I didn't want you to feel as If a beggar were making love to you. I spoke of waiting, for though the tailor said he would have them there by noon I knew by sad experience that there might be a delay." "But, Mervin, your clothes I don't understand," she gasped when she had recovered her breath. "Well, you see," he began hesitatingly and shamefacedly, "Jack Bronson was on my train yesterday. He la really trying to reform, and he wanted a certain position, but thought he was too shabby to make any showing. The man he wanted to meet was to be at the station, so there wasn't anything to do but go to the dressing room and change clothes with him. Fortunately these, though ragged, are quite clean. I thought I would wear these a day or two, just to imagine what the fellows felt like when they were down on their luck. When you came to me I was so hungry to see you that I simply had to come, rags and all. May I go now, Honor?" "You are Mervin Fairbanks, philanthropist, and didn't know it!" laughed Honor gleefully. "No, don't go just yet." Jocett and the Fighting: Cadet. Admiral Jouett, familiarly known as "Fighting Jimmy," was acting secretary of the navy once when the com mandant of the academy at Annapolis came over and reported that he had been compelled to discipline a cadet who had behaved in a most unaccountable manner aad had disgraced the academy, the department, the government and all civilization. He then proceeded to relate how this cadet when passing through the lower regions of the town of Annapolis had somehow or anether become involved In hostilities with a tough citizen and proceeded to polish him off. The friends of the tough came to his rescue. The cadet backed up against a wall and whipped five of them In succession and then nearly hammered the life out of two policemen who attempted to arrest him. He was in the custody of the civil authorities, and the superintend ent of the academy was seeking the aid of the secretary of the navy in hav ing him transferred to the naval authorities In order that he might be court martialed and punished. "Court martial that fellow!" roared Jouett "Licked five toughs and two policemen. Not while old Jim Jouett Is living! The boy ought to have a medaL What are you doing down there any how? Do you suppose the government of the United States hired you to raise a lot of boys to play checkers?" A Very Useful Tree. The most marvelous tree in the world is the carnahuba palm, which grows In Brazil. Its roots produce the same medicinal effect as sarsaparilla. From parts of the tree wine and vinegar are made. Its fruit Is used for feeding cattle. Of the straw, hats, baskets. brooms and mats are made. It Is also used for thatching houses. The pulp has an agreeable taste, and the nut which 13 oleaginous and emulsive, Is sometimes used as a substitute for coffee. Its stems afford strong, light fibers, which acquire a beautiful luster and serve also for Joists, rafters and other building materials. It yields also a saccharine substance as well as a starch resembling sago. Of the wood of the 6tem musical Instruments, water tubes and pumps are made. From the stem a white liquid similar to the milk of the cocoanut and a flour resembling maizena may be extracted. Moreover, salt Is extracted from the tree, and likewise an alkali used in the manufacture of common, soap. Answers,
