Va., was mysteriously .kidnapped and all efforts to find her were vain until Thursday night. A searching party found her three miles from the town, tied to a tree in the woodls. She told the meon'that she had been kidnapiied by a burly negro, and carried to this point, r where she had been since Tfues C (lay. After hearing the girl's pitiful story, theu meon left her as they had Sfound her, tied to a tree. They bid in the bushes close by to await developments. After some time the negro returned, bringing with him some food for the girl to eat. When she told him that her friends had seen her, he threatened to kill her, and was in the act of doing so when the men rusbed forward from their hiding place and caught the brute, lie made a desperate fight for his life, but it was vain. He was skinnued alive from head to foot by his captors, and died int awful agony. . IThe negro's victim is in a. seri ous condition.

Tld public genertally wil wvatcb with kcet interest the experiment In the I municipAl ownersiip and operation of traction .lines provided for by the P Muller stroet ' railway act passed by n the laSt Illinois legislature and now to a be put in operation In Chicago.. t Briefly the Muller act empowers any city in Illinois to own, acquire, construct, maintain and operato street railways, or to lease them for periods t 1 not longer than twenty years, upon a popular vote accepting the act- and a two-thirds vote authorizing the imnic- C Ipal authorities tq buy or construct and operate. a - street. railway, and also two-thirds vote providing for bonds or other cortificates of indebtedness to f pay for such road, whether by pur chase or construction. As to fares and terms of leases, the c aet leaves all to regulation by the city council, except that leases or grants of d franchises must not run more than 1 twenty years. The council may mako n all rules and regulations, including 4 a fares, when the city operates the road I Itself and may Incorporafo into leases 8 and grants of franchises such terms g as It deems for the bot Interest of the e munIelpality. The act provides also ,t that the street cars may be used to carry parcels and mail as well as pas -songers. Provision is made for the payment of bonds and for the publica g tion of accounts of municipal rail e ways. t Naturally the act was 9pposed by the existing street railway tompanies in Chicago, but It passed both branches of the legislature by an overwhelming voto and was favored by both the can didates for mayor in the last Chicago election. The Chicago corporations will 0* probably fight to retain their present privileges. But litigation is discour- t aged by the fact that the Muller bill was carefuly drawn by prominent at torneys employed by Chicago and that the legality of its provisions was pro 0 nounced valid by the attorney general of the state. This is the beginning of perhaps the most important experiment in the municipal control of street railroads yet undertaken in this country, and its success or failure will unquestionably have a marked effect upon the question in other cities. r Deerease In Railroad Building. According to the figures given by the Railway Age, the record of railroad n building during the last half of the fiscal year lately closed Is smaller than was expected, the total mileage being only 2,221 miles. Doubtless this was largely due to thte f high price of steel rails and other ma terial used in construction. With such g prosperity as the country has been en n joying tbpr- *-as reason to expect a great deal of railroad building and to d see soe'n of the lines needed in this d country completed, but owing to the high price of steel railroad companies evidently concluded to postpone build Ing for another year. The work done was mainly in the way of connecting completed lines and in the far wvest andi southwest. Rail hroad building has practically ceased in the east. There were only two and a half miles of railroad built in New .York. and only seven and a half miles in al~l New -England. Now Jersey, Maryland and Delaware did not lay a mile of track. It is somewhat surpris 11nlg to find -that in the northwest, No 'braska, South Dakota aud Wyoming, also inot a mile of new rails was laid. Oklahoma and Texas lead in new mileage. Louisiana added only seven d ty miles, less than expected and less than it should have done when the in vducemxents held out by the state in the way of exemption from taxation are considered. It is expected that the last half of the year will make a better return.

CASTOR IA ?or Infants and Children, The Kind You Have Always Doug lears the Signature of~4 g 4 Antitreating Law In. Vermont, d There is one phnso of the new Vor. wont liquor law which, it not unique, 0 is unusual and is not unaimportant. It I Is a clause' whidh provides that "no intoKicating liquor shall bo sold or tur' tnished to a person or any number of persons, to drink on thojeensed prom Ises, -in the way commonly known aq 'treating.*' When the bill was before the legis lature this provision was apparently ignored, or at least formed no part of n the rather voluminous discussion of the measure, and was not brought.to Y public notice until the authorities in d license towns warned saloon men that - they would forfeit their llcenses by Y violating it. In consequence a serious f blow has been struck at the American - habit of treating, which is responsible r for much of the drunkenness that * curses the country. In Vermont gt * least, if the law is enforced, there will g be ;> more. "lining up" of convivial Ro a quaiatances before the bar, to pour in g drink after drink, which often Is not a wanted, but to absorbed under protest lost "sociability" suffer. It a Vermout man feel --that he must treat, his heart's desire can be accomplished 0 only by the,- roundabout pioess of It handing his Mend the - money befqre. H hand or reimbursing him later on. The law is strict and explicit., Wben two e men drilk together two checks must it be rung up and one handed to each t If the saloon man allows. one man to ; pey for both he does so at the risk of * losing his license. * This is not, however, the-rewt at Y tempt to check the American. trmating - habit by state statute. It was tried In a Wisconsin some yeare ago, and for a time an antitreating law caused con n vivial Badgers considerable annoyance, f but it was later declared unconstitu d tional by the supreme Court of the >t state. it The operation of the Green Mountain y law, which may stand the constitu Le tional test, will be watched with In d teret. in the behalf of temperance h and sobriety it Is to be hoped-thatiI e will be found valid and workable, as h there can be no doubt that the excess 'e to which treating Is carried Is one of r- tiu "ost prolific causes of drunken is ness.
