THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBf wn THE COLUMBIAN. BLO0..ISBURG, PA. THURSDAY, JKCF.MHEK 5, 1H07 Booze in a Car Illegal. N It Makes Passenger A Nuisance, Company Must Pay. Judge Lynch handed down an opinion at Wilkes-ISarre refusing a new trinl to the Wilkes-Barre & Wyoming Valley Traction Com pany, which was mulcted in $100 damages by a jury in the trial of a case iu which Miss Mary Dougher was prosecutrix. Shew.ua passenger on one of the defendant company s cars when an intoxicated man boarded the car; a sudden jar threw him off his f. et, and in falling a bottlcof whiskey which he carried was b oken and the contents were spill ed over Miss Dougher's new silk dres:. She sued for its value, and the jury was prompt in returning a verdict for the amount claimed. Negligence was shown iu that the eouil.-K tor p;.:;.-i..l through the car several titties and saw the drunken condition of the man, and was, therefore, bound to protect the other passengers from any act on his part which might result iu Otury. It is pretty hard for a conductor to know just what to do iu such a case. It is impossible for him to stand by a drunken man coustautly to prevei'.t him from annoying other passengers, as he has his duties to perform. If he refuses to let a drunken man on the car he runs the risk of having the com pany sued for damates. If he lets him on, and subsequently puts him off when he becomes boisterous, and the man falls down and is hurt, or is frozen to death, there is another case for damages. We doubt if there are many lawyers, or even Judges, who would know just what to do in the many emergencies that arise in the running of trolley cars, to avoid claims for damages were they act ing as conductors. The Jamestown Expostion. Gates Closed Saturday Evening Big Show Has Been a Financial Failure, Saturday was closing day c".t the Jamestown exposition. At mid night the lights went out, the gates closed and the big fair was over. Early that morning big crowds be gan gathering on the grounds to take advantage of the last oppor tunity to see the exposition wheels in motion, and a carnival of fun and frolic, the culmination of a week of merriment, marked the closing day. The feature of the day was a great parade, in which Indians, Filipinos, Turks, Japan ese, cavalrymen, regulars, militia and sailors participated. The pro gram for last night's celebration in cluded a lantern procession, a mo tor boat parade, a colonial ball, and a pyrotechnical display. While there has been much discussion of the project of reopening the exposi tion next year, it is not believed that this will be possible. Already mony exhibitors ,have arranged to remove their displays and several State buildings have been closed for lack of money. It is admitted that the exposition has been a fail ure from a financial standpoint, due largely to the failure to com plete it on time. The statement that the exposition company is bank rupt, however, is denied by Presi dent Harry St. George Tucker, who asserts that its assets ate much larger than its liabilities. Accord ing to Mr. Tucker, the property is worth fully $2,500,000 while the liabilities arc about $2,000,000. If the property can be sold for what it is estimated it is worth, the exposition company will close its books with a healthy balance on the right side of the ledger. Of the $ 2, 000, 000 indebtedness, there is a balance due the United States government of $goo,ooo. DR. KENNEDY'S FAVORITE &1EDY Pleasant to Take, Powerful to Cure, And Welcome In Every Home.

Physiological clR'n.isU occasion ally delight to tell us that we are the dupes of aeBthetic sennas and pleas ing flavors. Men will pay, they say, hfif a guinea for a pint of turtlM so-ip which, from a strictly nutritive point of view, Is not worth a twenti eth part of that sum. Oysters, we ro told, are an extravagant form of oo;l, since fourteen of them do not contain na much nourishment en a singly egg, while it would require the InvesMou of no less than 200 go 1 o.vsicrs before the protein equivalent of n pound of beef wm reucLfd. Ca!.ir npuln. Is not to ba cotnuur ed with tlio blontcr ns regards IU L;it.r!i.lve value; ludcej, the latter "offers the largest amount of nutri ment for a given sum of any animal i'jod." It li evident If we rosard these conclusions seriously thut a large section of tho human race Is wickedly Indulgent, caring more for the paU Uiblj than the nutrltlou3 Quality of food. Tho same appears to be trn iu regard to beverages, and even la lie cuso of cigars there Is no dhfer enco, chemically speaking, between the penny Pickwick and the shilling Havana. The difference of eleven pence Is paid for flavor, end flavor ale no. Physiologically, It Is possible that a "brandy and soda" costing say ouo shilling Is Just as satisfactory aa a "pint" of champagne at Ave ahlll lags. Similarly It may bo said that a t int of beer at sixpence Is Quite as good, dletetlcally "peaking, aa a liui.-ul bottle of Chateau Margeaux nt three shillings and sixpence. There are, however, clearly in stances In which In no senso can the nutritive equivalent of food and bev erages be summed up In so mauy pounds, shillings nnd pence. How often It la found, for example, that the Invalid may be tempted to take a few oysters In preference to a 3:r.ull beef fillet, or some turtle soup when calves' head, the basis of mock turtlo, would scarcely appeal to hlra, even although It may bo more than equal In nutritive value to the only reptllo used to any extent aa food in this country. When a person refuses to tako a given food, however nutri tive and wholesome It may be, be cause it Is In many instances prob able that if ho struggles to over t.iav prove to tax his digestive fun rnay prove to ttx his digestive fun ctions and may even cause gastric trouble. The chemical analysis of food and physiological experiments In the test tube do not take into account this psyshlcal factor of digestion, for the digestive process is well begun when the sight of food Is pleasing. On the contrary, Then food does not appeal to tho eye It U likely not to appeal to the stomach. It is hardly reason able to conclude, therefore, that the price of flavor Is always the price of luxury. Iioper AsjtuniM in Norway.

"Why, of course you inuBt come along," said the blind gentleman kindly, "when you art a friend of my clmuffeur. Please tnke a seat in the tor.aeuu. I am sure you will enjoy tho ride to Esterel." He held out his right hand, which P3 Immediately taken by the stran. gut', who stammered a few words of thanks and handed the chaffeur a sntuhel, a heavy suit case and a hat box. A little distance off a lady was waiting in silence until the man opened the door of the tonneau, hfin they both noiselessly and In alienee seated themselves In the large corv.fortablo car. The auto had come upon them at the outskirts of Nice as If by acci dent and the blind owner of the car had no idea that tbe meeting had been arranged by Ruoul, his caaffeur. Tho couple, Insplte of their ele gant dress and tho many diamonds of the woman did not make a very favorable impression, and It was evi dent that they belonged to the many adventurers who abound along the Riviera during the Monte Carlo sea son. The Cor started off. The blind owner was Beated next to the chauf feur and was dressed exactly the saf.e, goggles, leather coat and cap. In pie rear seat the man and woman were sitting without speaking. As they left Nice the chauffeur turned toward Suorge, on tho fron tier. In the opposite direction of Esterel, where he was BUppoirod to be going. The blind man did not notice It, but oald In bis kind voice: "It Is a fine day to see Esterel; there Is no wind and the air feels so balmy. You will enjoy Esterel, I am sure. I love to rldo, though people do not understand It, and the ladles at the hotel laugh at me and call me a dreamer. And I suppose that I am something of a dreamer. I love Nature, though I cannot see. When I took my first rides friends explulned the nature of the country to me now we are passing through fields, they said, now we como to the woods, and I tried to remember what I had once seen, for I have been blind for only ten years. Today I know my outo and by riding I learn to know the country. By the noise of the motor I can tell whether we are going up or down hill and when It runs as It does now I know that we are on the level road. The speed, lug through the air fills me with Joy. It at once stimulates and calms me. If you would toll me of the houses and villages we pass, and which I cannot seo, ny enjoyment would be perfect." M. Glrard kept on talking, and. be. cuur.o he folt he must Bay something. Lis chauffeur's friend said: 'I notice you are a great lover of sport, sir." At first he had been astonished at the eloquence of the man, now it appeared t-ry funny to him, and he nudged tho chauffeur, while the wo man had to stuff her handkerchief Into her mouth to keep from laugh ing. And the car Bped along. They had now nearly reached the foot of the mountains. The country grew rough and stony and the air was qulto chilly. Glrard wrapped the rug closer around his thin legs. He war, uo qulto silent. Suddenly he raided his head, drew a deep breath and buU softly, as If thinking aloui. "How strange; I do not remember ever having been here before." Immediately afterward he aaked If they were near the woods. "There Is a small clump of trees ahead on the right." the stranger re. plied. "Olive trees, I suppo30?" "Oh, no, they are not olivo trees, they are oaks, beautiful, tall, majes;lc oaks, Just the thtnr; for a lover of nuturo like you, an . an the loft are masBes of flowern In tho meadows with little children dancing." The three looked at each other and smiled at the excellent Joke. The blind man shook his head. Strange, he thought, he did not ro tneraber any meadows, nor did he sow smell the fragrance of flowers. On and on sped the outo, close to the overhanging wall of rocks. U was a lonesome country, where no one came except teamsters and mom. Ulneers and shepherds with their flocks. M.
