CONFLICT OF JURISDICTION.
The United States and Kansas Likely
to Have Trouble.
Topeka. Kan., November 18. The
Santa Fe receivership case today de
veloped a direct conflict between the
state and federal courts. Anticipating
.the appointment of a new receiver by
Judge Myers at Oskalooaa, A. A. Hurt,
'general attorney for the railway com-
I pany. today obtained a supplemental
j order from Judge Foster, of the Hnlted
i States circuit court The order directs
all the officers and employe of the Atch-
jison. Topeka and Santa Fe Railway
Company In the state of Kansas to con-
itlnue the operation, management and
, control of the railway In the same man-
I ner as It has heretofore been conducted
(until a further order of the United
i States circuit court shaft be made.
! Later Messrs. Roelngton. Smith and
Dallas, representing' the Union Trust
Company, of New York, which haa
become a party to the action by a
cross-bill filed in the federal court last
week, appeared before Judge Foster
and presented a lengthy petition, ask
ing that Senator Martin be restrained
from Interfering with the present man
agement of the road.
Under the showing thus made, Judge
Foster granted a restraining order
against John Martin and the others
named. Senator Martin said he would
qualify as receiver immediately. La
ter he said he should respect the order
of the United States court.
A big fight Is likely to center in Judge
Foster's court.

THE TIPPING QUESTION.
How It Is Practiced at Home and
Abroad and the Need of
Reform.
From the Illustrated American.
The question of tipping seems small
enough in detail, but rather Important
when exaggerated.
A woman who Bpent last winter In
one of the most sumptuous of New
York hotels says she Invariably gave
a quarter to her waiter at breakfast
and luncheon, those being meals taken
alone. At dinner time she was Joined
by her husband, who always handed
the waiter 50 cents.
The latter sum seemed to evenly fill
the man's idea of what was due him,
and his "Thank you, sir," was bland
and gracious, but the lady's modest
quarters always found their grave in
the black waistcoat pocket with no
expression of gratitude finm the re
cipient's face, which wore a meaning
look aa of one who says: "Women ore
mean, an' never knows 'ow to do the
right thing by a man: but one "as to
put up with 'era."
It is only ln reckless, good natured
America that optional fee are so much
lurgtT than they ought to be. A dollar,
which I a common enough sum for a
man to give at dinner in a fashionable
restaurant would make a French
waiter stare, although he would have
the presence of mind to pocket It
quickly.
In Paris there I an unwritten scale
which apportions five per cent on the
amount of a customer's bill aa a tip.
Thus, a person ordering a dinner that
cost 12 would, on settling his bill, add
10 cent for the attendant.
It Is time we had either a legal or
informal rule governing tip In this
country, -and it Is to be hoped that
some rich persons will help In the re
form. It will never be done by those whose
means are really small enough to feel
the tax, for it la one of the errors of
the Impecunious to feel obliged to show
a much liberality as millionaire, even
If, like the guest In "Charley's Aunt"
he has to borrow half a dollar from
the butler with which to Up him.
A HANGING PROBABLE.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.
From the Chicago Post.
'I think your daughter Intends
to
elope."
The old man looked at the neighbor
who was always interfering In matters
that did not concern him and shook
his head.
"I can hardly believe it" he said.
I have every reason to believe "
"But that won't do," Interrupted the
old man. "You forget that this is a
serious matter that ought not to be
allowed to rest upon heresay evidence.
When one man comes to another and
tells him that his daughter is about
to forsake the parental roof under
cover of the night he should be abso
lutely sure of what he says. Have
you incontrovertible evidence that
what you say is true?"
"Well, no, I can't say that I have,"
returned the officious neighbor, begin-
ning to feel that perhaps he had gone j creasing within the past few days, ow
too fur. jing to the requirements for India, nor-
'Just as I feared," returned the old
man. This Is the third time I ve had
my hopes needlessly raised by reports
of this sort and It is growing monot
onous." HIGH TIDES AFFECT WELLS.
From the Baltimore Sun.
The high-water marks of several ex-
tranrdinarily high tides have been kept
at Eastern Point. St. Michael's and
Oxford. What is known as the "Cen-
tennlal title" ot September, 1S76, has j on the island during the war. The bat

effect on the flow of the artesian wells
on Tilghman's Island. These wells av

them have a surface overflow, which
increased fully double ln velocity and
more in volume when the tide was at
