DETROIT'S ' FUNNY WAR , It Is Waging Between the Daily Newspa pers and lour Big Kailway Companies. The Ijnttcr Caused tbo Trouble by Making n Hid Tor Frco Advertising. ? , ' " : ? v A curious _ ) rarfarc , of which the public has hoard nothing , is being waged in Detroit. It is between the Michigan Central , thcWnbafiht the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern , and the Detroit , Lansing & Northern railroads on the one hand , and , the four English daily papers the Frco Press , the Tribune , and News , anil the Journal on the other. The equal nimmrical division of thu contend ing forces does not necessarily make the conllicl nn equal one by any means. About a.uionth ago the roads named resolved io ; K > longer pay the papers for publishing'thcir lime-curds. For years regular advertising rates have been .chargcd.for this service by the papers. The railroad argued that the newspapers must publish Iho announcement of the arrivals and departures of all passenger trains as a mailer of news , the same as the weather reports , the market quota- tionu , and similar tilings , and thus rea- Honing , it was notditllcult , for Iho repro- Huntatives of the roads present at the meeting Avhoro Ibis action was taken to convince themselves that during all these years llioy had been practically swindled by the newspapers. As an exchange of courtesies , however , the lines decided to grant the dailies annual passes "on con dition of the publication of the time table of the company. " This they had long done with the country press , and they now failed to see why the condition .should not bo enforced against the city dailies. The roads were somewhat surprised when the newspapers , as if a. previous understanding , simultaneously quit pub lishing the time cards , and Jan. 10 , when the annual passes expired , refused to ac cept the now ones allured. Thu various lines were notified that all announcement of the change of running time of trains , .excursion rates , and similar notices which the papers had been accustomed to print free of charge , would be accepted only on payment of regular reading mat ter rates. The spirit spread to every person con nected with the press , and , although no orders to thai effect wcro issued , it was understood that war hail been declared and that the campaign was to be a. long one. Since Jan. 10 thcro is not a report er in this city who cannot scent a railroad accident at twice the distance as former ly , and recent fatal accidents , as depict- c'd , have boon more than usually harrow ing. Reporters have happened to get on the jury--they know the coroner and in a very recent case the jury found that when the victim was killed the train was running eighteen miles an hour out of the Central yards , in violation of the law , and recommended that the company bo publicly prosecuted. STIICKIXK Tiipji UP. Such an unusual verdict was , of course , treated by the press as its importance de served , and the facts were givc _ > n to the public under such eye-catching captions a.s "Murdered by the Central Company. " " 'The Public Ho D-d' Policy , " etc. Pub lic fooling has boon so aroused by those reports that action is about to bo taken against Ihe company. "Tho fact that a number of railway gales are needed at an equal number of street crossings in this city hasbut _ re- eentlv been discovered , and the discovery has resulted in bringing the railroad commissioner to town for Iho purpose of inspecting Iho alleged dangerous locali ties. The proposition of the roads own ing elevators to charge extra storage for grain not removed hy a certain date , al though not an unusual tiling , has been denounced , and hiich a sentiment created in favor of the board of trade that the roads notified the board that extra stor age rates would not bo exaclcd. TlIU FU.VNir.ST I'AUT OK IT. The funniest circumslance of the war is that the Grand Trunk , under the direc tion of its general manager , refuses to jomt the other roads in their action against the press. The Grand Trunk tune-card continues to adorn tbo adver tising columns of the dailies , and the road derives special advantage from being - ing thu only pno that has its card thus printed conspiciously in all Iho news papers , giving the impression to strang ers that it is the only road running in and out of the city. Grand Trunk passes also are distributed more freely than over to the newspaper editors anil reporters , and any newspaper man has but to hint that ho wants a pass to get it. It is a coincidence , to say the Jetibt , that thu papers have apparent ly just found out what a great benefit the Grand Trunk is lo Michigan. It Mas been discovered that the Grand Trunk is being "outraged" in the matter of its treatment by the Central road , whoso switching charges are pronounced exorbitant - bitant and the attention of the attorney- general has boon called to this alleged violation by the Central of its charter and the general slalo law. It is positively - tivoly announced that the attorney-gen eral will inovo against the Central com pany in Iho supreme court of the state to rectify Iho alleged discriinlnalion against the Grand Trunk. What the final outcome of this novel light- will bo cannot bo conjectured. Nothing like it over occurred before in Michigan. The Detroit papers have nothing to say about it for obvious rca sons. An KsHny on Cook-Uonolies. Chipago Tribune ; From our esteemed contemporary , tho'liostou Advertiser , we learn that a meeting of Iho Hoslon society of Natural History was hold last Wednes day evening , and that particular atten tion was paid to the me.so/.oic cock-roach. The president of the society read a paper on this interesting subject , and also made reference to former comments of his on the cock-roach of thu paleozoic ago. His investigations , ho said , wore pursued chiolly by the study of Iho fore wings , Ills conclusion was lliat the meso/.oio cook-roaches were but about half the si/.o on the average of Ibo paleozoios. The The cook-roach of to-day averages larger than the ineso/.oied , but smaller than the pnluozoics , Thu mesozoics more nearly resemble those of to-day in ether res pects. The paleo oics always had live veins in their wings. The modern insect has at least ono less than that. Ho said that at the present time llioru are known about 501) ) species of cook-roaches. One-half ' ( ho ' paleozoic insectd which have been found are cockroaches. The tliscussloii throughout was of the most thoughtful nature and altogether a credit to liostlm rulttiro. It is possible that the learned president was mistaken in saying there wore but 000 varieties of cockroach there are hotel- keepers in Chicago ready to swear that tlit-ro are 1,000 but In it general way the cockroach , especially thu mi'so/.oio cock roach , was well handled Wo could have wished that the learned president of Iho society had touched another phase of Iho cockroach quuitipu hi.hia paper and had mentioned the variety of insect powder which , in his opinion , most rapidly doubles u | > Iho bifoot , but naturally in a singh * evening all features of such u sub ject could not bu treated , IScsldrs , the muso/.loo toolroaoh ! is , wo understand , now dead , and the argument ; was , tluirc- t'pro , lo .SOHUI extent , in the nature of a funeral oration. It is a com'fort to reflect that iho'cockcoach cult Is fairly taken up. Wo can still count on Boston in an cmot'- ' gency , while Now York Is nowhere. New York couldn't tell a mcsozoic cockroach from a clam of 188Q. _ The Duty of iNewspaper. . Sdcramoibi Tlte , Some very queer notions obtain among the people as to the duty which a news paper owes to its readers , but the most prevalent one is that it sll6uld leave out important items of public interest at the request of those who may bo injured by their publication , This is a very errone ous idea. The object of a newspaper Is to give the news. Jta very name indi cates that. Unless it docsso , it is not in any scuso of the word a newspaper , but rather an anti-nowspapon Hy news is meant not only those incidents which como before the public In the realms of science , politics , literature hud crime , but a myriad number of in teresting narratives of adventure and of life which happen lo como within the ken of the reporters , and are woven into readable articles by their ready pens. It is not strielly Iho duty , of a , newspaper to wait until half ifa readers kii6w a fact before it thinks of publishing it , nor is it its duty to refrain from delving down into public crimes until the courts have been made cogni/ant thereof. Its first duty , on the contrary , is to bo in the load not to follow the courts after crime has been punished , but lo precede lliom in exposing it. The true newspaper knows no friends and fears no foes To it , news is nows. and Iho suppression of it no matter how rich and powerful the parties concerned may bo is an imposition upon thu reading public. Its first aim should bo to loll iho truth , no matter who is hurt. The publication of a falsehood against one man is but little worse Ihan Iho sup pression of the truth concerning another when its publication is demanded , not only in the interests of public juslico and the public welfare , but also of public news. There is ono road , taken by certain journals , which is not along the straight line of respectable journalism and con scientious news-gathering , and the sheets following that pathway are no more true newspapers than are those which sup press real nows. The family hearth should bo kept sacred , and over the llircs- hold of a man's "hoiisuand casllo , " no sacreligious foot should dare to tread. When the husband and father himself , however , forgets thu dut.y ho owes to that home , and comes bcforo the public in the light of n scoundrel , ho should nol ask public journals and public tribunals to screen him from a deserved retribution. When he tramples the honor of his own wife and children in the dust , ho should certainly not beg others to. stretch that respect anil pity due to all women to the extent of shielding him the polluter of his own house and name from public gax.c and scorn. These wo take to bo the duties which a newspaper owes to itself and to the pub lic. Above all , however , it should tell the truth. No honest journal will ever knowingly publish a falsehood , oven against its bitterest enemy. Such a course would not only bi ; rascally , but it would destroy all confidence in the paper. Its motto should ever bo : "Bu 3ust and fear not. ' " Death of Cixptuln Crawford. "To t hose who are unacquainted with thu character of Capt. Crawford's coi.i- mand , " remarked an army ollicor to a Chicago Daily News reporter , "tho tele gram announcing that it had been lirod upon by Mexican trdops and its leader killed musl have seemed , strange in view of the fact that the two republics are at peace. The truth of the matter , however , is that the troops under Capl. Crawford were Indian scouts , the force on which Gen. Cropki has ill ways relied in chasing the hostile Apaches. Those scouts are enlisted for a term of six months and are paid ? ! ! 0 a month while in the service. They wear no uniform and have nothing whatever to distinguish them from the hoslilu Indians whom they arc after , save red handkerchiefs around their heads. A company of Indian scouts is usually commanded by a lieutenant , though in llns case by a captain , who has as his aid a chief oi scouts. The latter is the moans of communication between the Indians and the commanding olliccr , anil is a frontiersman who haslivod long enough on an Indian reservation to acquire the Apache tongue , and who has a good knowledge of the country. Indian scoitls cannot bo kept logclhcr , but have a habit of wandering from Iho main body in twos or throes. They have been often mistaken before by settlers and miners for ho.stilu Indians , and lircd upon. To prevent this tronblo the chief of scouts usually rides ahead of the command when near a set tlement and announces its approach. "Thu explanation of the Muxican ofli- cers , that Capt. Crawford's scouts were mistaken for Hostile Indians may uo true , though as IiJuut. Mans suggests , the at tack may have boon promoted by a du- sire to capluro the cam ) ) of ournnm. " "Regular Mexican troops would hardly bo likely to do that , " suggested the re porter. "Regular Mexican troops are simply jail-birds. Perhaps you are not aware that in the sister republic it is common to sentence men guilty of crime to servo a certain term in the army. In many cases the ollicers are a very slight Improvement on the men A Mexican army outfit al ways suggests Uilly Wilson's /ouaves , who refused to garrison Wesl Point on the grounds that it was altogether too close to Sing Sing. " "Aro our troops at liberty to follow In dians on Mexican soil ? ' , "Wo have an arrangement with the Muxican authorities by which the troops of cither government when on a hot trail arc empowered to cross the boundary line. Hy a bol trail is understood an ab- solulo pursuit and not a treneral cam paign. This arrangement is not at all popular with thu Mexicans in Sonora and Chihuahua , who regard with the irruatcst jealousy Ihu presence of our troops on their soil. They are especially hostile to our Indian scouts. Thu hatred of the ordinary froiiluirsinan lo the In dians is lovu ' beside that of a Mexican , This haired is cordially returned by the Indians , who would delight in nothing better than a brush with their hereditary enemy ; the greasers , I can well imagine the light in whioh poor Emmet Craw.'ord ' foil was rather welcome to the scouts than otherwise. "In Crawford , it is safe to say , Crook has lost ono of his right-hand men. Next to Creel ; himself ho possessed the great est inllnonco with thu Indians. Ho was an excellent ofllcor and a good Indian lighter. Whether his death was the ru- suit of a misunderstanding or nol , it is a loss lo thu army , and to the department of Arizona moro particularly.

As a physical advisor , no marriage should occur unless both contracting par- tics are healthy subjects ; to bo iv good animal is the highest gift in na ture. ture.A marriage has vast responsibility , hinging upon it the future procrontion of our species , the perpetuation of the hu man family ; therefore no man wants to become the father of a race of pigmies or deformed dwarfs physical cripples , to the disgrace of himself , his wife and his progeny God forbid ! Lot a man con sider tins well. First of till , then , sco that the prospective wlfp bo a thoroughly healthy girl and fine animal. It is safe for us to say that nowadays far too many mothers are culpable for on- cournging matrimony when they know in their heart of hearts that their daughters are subject to organic disease. This is to bo severely deprecated and frowned down upon whenever and wher ever seen. On the other hand , the pre sumptive swain who contemplates Ily- men's knot and himself a shattered wreck is nothing short of a criminal. Marriage is indeed a serious question. Next , the salt of common sense , is an important necessity. Since marriage resolves Hsoif into n permanent covenant , instituted by God , to be broken only by death , and u6t like a loose pair of shoes that can be put on in the morning and removed at night , it is an issue that should occupy the mental , the moral , the spiritual , tno practical and the consequential quential deductions of all thinking people ple to the soberest degree. The civil law may soporato , but it can not sever. A divorce is a olot on the page of his tory , and about it there is always a bad smell. Any one who espouses the con jugal yoke with the prospect of divorce ahead weds tin ignis fatuus.

They lace , powder , all'oct frivols , study how to make conquests , etc. , inshort to assume all the evils of prevailing fashion. These creatures die young of tight lacer's liver or ennui. Young men beware. There is no object so fascinating as a pretty-faced , intelligent woman , but then a woman to commend herself as an eligi ble candidate for matrimony should bo useful as well as ornamental. A model wife is an economist , ! ! bread saver , while her husband is the bread winner. A little domestic drudgery is a homely andidote against disease and often makes ti fine wife and mother out ot a mere hot * house plant. I advise n thorough knowl edge of kitchen economy ( Doily's Domes ticity ) , for far too many girls nowadays enter marriage long buforo they have even learned to spank a popper-box. Any ono who follows this counsel will not go astray. Tlcil by Their Tongues to a Rail. Uutto ( Mon. ) Miner : Last evening about supper time whilu the dining room was crowded , the guests at the Centen nial hotel were thrown into a slate of consternation and excitement by hearing cries and shrieks coming from a compara tively unknown quarter. Some thought the house was haunted , and otlicrs wcro satisfied that the cries wuro human. A sncedy search was made and it was soon discovered that the balcony was the point whence the sound emanated , and the voices belonged to two little pots of the household , IVarly Batoman and Ko i.tlio daughters of the housekeeper. When the crowd reached the spot the litllu ones wuro found prisoners in a manner that is familiar to thu older ones , but was Homo- thing new to them. Together they had walked on the balcony , the rail of which is of iron , and us the frost looked so tempting they decided to lick it on" . The result , was of course , that both woru glued to the iron , and , luukilv. instead of attempting to release themselves by forcu they begun n series of shrieks. Dr. Heal , who was on hand , promptly procured a pitcher of hotj ynter ami soon , Iho iron absorbing the rIttit , ! ( , the youngsters wore released. { Jt , THE EfftRgftOn OF CHINA. Skillful In iVruJiery 1'rospocts or the Unipiro ifiHlur Hit * Itule. „ The emperor" China having an nounced thaj he will assume the govern ment of the empire in February , the London Stan.dil l publishes this account of his life ; TluV jlfesent emperor of China was born ou. ! August IGth , 1871 , and , is , therefore , oiuyiu , his 15th your. On the 12th of Jniumry ; 1875 , ho uuccceded his cousin , Tsaitft&tn , who , himself a boy , iiicd withoiH-faJw , the lirst instance in the imperial house of Gioro for nearly three centuries. The accession of tlm httlo 4-year-old T ai-Tjon involved , some curious feature ? of Chinese custom. It is ti rule ( hat. the succession to the dragon throne cannot pass to thu preceding generation on account of the worship of ancestry. Sueh a succession would involve the worship -.flower or younger cumtration by an older ono. Thu line of llein-Fung , the last governing emperor , died out in his cliiUllcijs son. The son.of . Frineo Kung was till a year ago tiio most prominent statesman in the country , Therefore , the son of 1'rinco Chun , a Younger brother of the Emperor llein- Fung and of 1'rinco Kung , was unani mously chosen by the empress dowager and the assembled princes ? of the JUun- dm imperial clan. The .same regency wa ruappointcd , so that his. tender ago involved neither dillieuUy nor alteration- . Ho ascended thq thtojiu tinder the reign name of Kwang-i3Utoi-"ilu ) trioii3 BUG- cession , " n reference to the break In the regular descent. Very little is known about the youth who .announces his Intention of assuming control of the largest and most populous empire on the face of the earth. Stories of his boyish petulance and of his skill at archery , which still forms the most im portant point in the education of the ruling Jlanclm clans , have floated about , but there is really nothing on which 'to form _ an estimate of bis character , lie certainly has more "grit" than the feeble and nerveless boy whom ho succeeded , but that is. perhaps , not what is most de sirable in his position. As ruling om pcror ho is the fountain of power , rank , honor , and privilege. He is the head of religion , as ho Is also Ihe source of law 'ariil dispenser of mercy. All the forces and revenues of the empire are his , nml ho has a right to claim the sot vipcs of all males between 10 and CO. He wilt receive the empire in a progress ive and prosperous state , notwithstand ing the late war with France. The Em press An , the dowager regent who re tires , is an exceedingly able woman , who has done more for China , in a remarka bly critical time , than a score of emper ors before her. When Hicn-Fung died , in 1801 , the prestige , the resources and ( he peace of the country wcro reduced to their lowest obb. During the time that has pnsscti Hince China has not only re gained peace , regular government , and material prosperity , but the empire has entered into relations with Kupopean powers and lias begun to take part in the affairs of the worhL which must result in the opening up of the middle kingdom to international commerce. Under the cm- press dowager telegraph lines liaye been laid all over the country and railways have boon begun. If the young Kwtuic- Stt follows her footsteps all will be well , and the world will bo a gainer ; but If lie goes back and relapses into the old celes tial exclusiveness ho will break up his vast empire , and irretrievable ruin from internal rebellion and outside attacks will be the inevitable result. ° Strnliica Hls Side.

The I'jin-EU'otrlo Directors Have a Ijltile Dispute All to TliotusolvcH. A Washington special of January Ulilh says : "There appears in a New York pa per of yesterday an article on the Pan- Electric Telephone company purporting to give much of the inside history of the concern. The revelations reflected se verely upon several democratic senators and high oflicinls. Last night the directors of the tele phone company hold a Hireling , which lasted until midnight. The principal topic of discussion was the newspaper exposure. Hccriminations were bandied freely. Senator Harris , at whoso rooms the gathering took place , said the reve lations in part must have oomo from a member of the board. Tlicro were pres ent , participating in the cliscu-sion , Gcu. Joseph E Johnston , the Hon. J. D. C. Atkins , Indian Commissioner J. II. Rogers. Col. H. F. Long , J. W. Rogers , and Col. Casey Young. While the gentlemen were in a bad hu mor they attempted to discuss a.bnsiiiiiss proposition. A union with Uio National Improved Telephone company has been proposed. Col Young , the secretary of the P.m-Elcctric company , stated that he jiad become convinced that there was an infringement by the Pan-Electric tola- phone on the National Improvement. This latter company is a. small company , founded on J. II. Rogers' earlier natonts , Mr. Rogers , the inventor , was present when Mr. Young made the statement. lie became very much excited. He at once exclaimed : "You convinced. Why , after I had ex plained the telephone to yon for a week you acknowledged that you did not know a receiver from a transmitter. " This made Col. Cuscv Young angry. He turned upon Rogers and made some very sharp remark , whereupon young Rogers called out : " fool. " "You arc a At this Col. Casey Young struck at Rogers , when the latter promptly knocked down the secretary of the Pan- Electric Telephone Company. Great confusion ensued. The two gentleman wore separated , and at the suggestion of Indian Commissioner At kins a committee was appointed to settle thu quarrel. Gen , Joseph Johnston and Senator Harris were appointed. They found that young Rogers was too hasty , and should shnice hands and make up. This was done amid profound silence. Then Dr. J. W. Rogers , the father of the inventor , offered a resolution con tradicting the statement wherein it was alleged that the patents of the Pan- Electric Telephone Company wcro in- fringemunts of the National Improve ment Company. Senator Harris objected , When this resolution was rejected the two Rogerscs withdrew in indignation. They were followed to the door by the olliciuls connected with the Pan-Electric Telephone Company , who bogged them not to mention a word of what occurred , Dr. Rogers replied : "This is a public mooting , and the instincts of gentlemen must guide us. " Ho went oil'and gave the information to the newspapers. Coal for till ) Poor. The county commissioners in replying to the chargo.s in the curd of Dr , licnson published in thn Hir. : to the ullcct that tbo coal they supply to the poor is worthless.stato that the allegations there in are for the most part false. "Wo pay a contract price of $1.50 for our coal , " said Mr. U'Keofl'u , yesterday "whioh ought to and certainly docs purchase a good article of soft coal. We have so far had but one complaint about the quality of coal furnished. That was from a woman , Mrs. Mar.v Johnson , who is something of a crank.'o \ ordered Mr. Piorou to investigate ! the matter , and he found that there was nothing to it. If our coal was of such interior quality as thu writer of that card depicts , we whould certainly have heard bomotliing further about it before this , you can dopund upon it. Some of the coal may bo of poor quality- that can't bo helped. I5ut mo t of it Is lit to bo used by any one. " ( Swindled n Grocer. It has just como to light that Ilolmrod & Co. , the South Thirteenth street gro cers , have been swindled on a bogus note given thorn by n dashing young man some wotiks ago , in payment lor a largo bill of groceries. The young man claimed to bu an employe of Tom Cotter , thu pro * prictor of the Douglas street Printing of- lice , and signed ( lie name of W , V , mi slead to ( ho cheek. It turns out , of course , that no such person was in tlic employ of Mr. Ccttor Thu note h duo on February 15lh and wijl probably nev er bo paid. The furgor , it is believed , is kninvii.

A REFORMED GAMBLER. ol * the Grcoit-CIotti KnlKlits In New'York Will Obey the Im\v. A New York special says : Mike Mur- rnv , who was the heaviest professional yamblcr in this city after the deaths of Morrissey and Iaucoroxcuptinit Uharlcy Hansom , and who has been absolutely the king of the fraternity sineo the recent - cent demise of Uansoniba.s shut his games and declares that he will never have anything ; to do with gambling again , This sudden reform , if such it proves to be , is a result of Hansom's death. That rich fjamcstcr hud qualms of coiisclciico on his dying bed and exhorted his in timate friends to quit the business. Mike Murray was lone ago a companion and partner of John .Morrissoy , though a prcat deal younger. Uolh came train Troy , N. Y. , where they ran games in conjunction. They embarked in Now York together , and their "combination game" of faro'as it was called on ai count of the heavy pool being composed of several rich gamblers bcsido them selves , was long a famous conrcrned. Then Murray opnncd an imineiifro kuuo establishment in liruiuhvuy , occupying a snacious store with doors wide open to the street. Ho was understood to have inlliiential city otlicials as silent partners , and for a whole year the police let him alone. Of late tliu gamblers have had to conduct their games behind thick cur tains and barricaded doors , witli precau tions against the admission of slrangei'.s. But Murray hud accumulated a fortune estimated at § 200,000. Ho has for ten years been a noted character around town big , handsome , an ardent patron of the opera and higher-class theatricals , a dweller in u line house , a driver of fast horses.
