A Radical Change.
The supreme court has announced a
radical change with reference to motions.
Hereafter section 625b of the Civil Code ,
which reads as follows , will be strictly
enforced : "Sec. 625b. Costs may be
allowed on a motion or demurrer , in the
discretion of the court or judge , not ex
ceeding $10 , winch shall be absolute
against the losing partv on such demur
rer or motion ; provided , that this pro
vision shall not apply to verbal motions
and demurrer ore tenus during the course
of the trial. "
Heretofore the time of the court at
each session has been largely taken up
considering motions. These motions in
many instances have been exceedingly
frivolous. It is thought the enforcement
of the provisions of the statute above
set out will have the effect of lessening
the number of motions that will be filed
very materially.
The clerk of the supreme court is send
ing out copies of the amended rules of
the court. The rules in which important
amendments have been made are num
bers 2 , 6 , 9 , andj2.
Pay Your Delinquency.
In view of the better times , and higher
prices for grain etc. , the publisher ex
pects those indebted to The Tribune
for subscription to make good their de
linquencies at once. During the con
tinued hard times and failures no effort
was made to force the collection of sub
scription accounts , but now thatthe con
ditions have changed greatly for the bet
ter it is expected that these delinquencies
will be promptly paid up. Statements
will be sent out to all in arrears and with
the expectation that all will appreciate
our past indulgence and respond at once.

Regarding the Zola-Dreyfus affair , Col
lier's Weekly saj's editorially , "The idea
of using the popular prejudice against
Jews to avert the consequences of a pos
sible error did not probably occur to the
war office until the suspicion dawned
that the wrong man had been con
demned. We do not hesitate to say that
if Dreyfus had been a Christian , and the
same reasons had been brought forward
for holding that a mistake had been com
mitted , no power on earth could have
prevented him obtaining a new trial. "

Lincoln' * Care In the Vto of Were * .
In the opinion of tbo judges and prac
titioners with whom Lincoln was asso
ciated during hiB quarter of a century
at the bar hiB most prominent charac
teristic was his rare faculty for detect
ing and disclosing the controlling point
in a legal battle. But not less than this
was his clear , full , orderly and accurate
statement of a case , always so fair and
logical that it was often said that after
Lincoln had summed up the importaut
facts in a controversy there was but little -
tlo occasion for argument on either side.
He habitually employed at the bar the
Eamo care uud skill in the nso of words
and tbo expression of ideas which ho so
often ufterwurd exhibited when called
to a higher field of labor , instances of
which are seen in all his state papers
and in the changes for the better which
ho made in the writings of his scholarly
secretary of state , particularly in the
correspondence relative to the Tient af
fair , which probably avoided a war
with England. A fine example of the
grandeur of hiB diction is to bo found
in his Gettysburg address , which bus a
permanent place iu the literature" of the
world.
Ho thought vigorously and thorough
ly , but did not speak quickly. In reali
ty his hesitation was only the result of
his great care always to know his
ground. His habit was before speaking
or acting to deliberately look through ,
around and beyond every fact , state
ment or proposition involved and sub
ject it to his wonderful powers of per
ception and analysis. This required
time , but it made him successful in
every important undertaking. While he
thought much , he could not truthfully
bo called a great reader. Ho knew thor
oughly the works of Coke , Blackstone ,
Stephen , Cbitty , Starkey and later
Greeuleaf's "Evidence" and Story'B
"Equity. " Ho gave but little time to
searching for precedents or studying
what is called case law. James L.
King in North American Review.
A Uarnato Story.
It is said that when Barney Barnato
gave a picnic at the opening of the Jo
hannesburg waterworks he related an
incident that had happened to him in
London some time before. A seedy look
ing man , describing himself as a jour
nalist , called on him one day and offered
to cut out from papers , etc. , all the
complimentary things said about Mr.
Barnato. The genial man of millions
saw that the man was "down on his
luck" and engaged him on the spot at a
salary of 15 per month. This was
quite characteristic of Barney's sudden
and irresponsible freaks. At the end of
six months the man , who had been paid
monthly , again called on Mr. Barnato
and presented a huge bundle of clip
pings from newspapers , asking whether
he should continue the work. "No , "
replied Barney , "but I will engage you
for six months at the same salary to cut
out all the nasty things you can find
said about me. " Another six months
elapsed , and once more the indefatigable
paper clipper turned up and reported
his work to be finished. "Well , " asked
Barney , "where are the results of your
work ? " Here Barney assumed his grav
est aspect as he repeated the man's re
ply : " 1 have not been able to bring
them in. There are two cartloads out
side. " Westminster Budget.
Be Natural.
If a woman cannot secure a young
man for a life mate by being herself ,
living her natural life , she would be
far better off to remain single to the
end of her days. The cloak of deception
universally worn by young women as
well as young men during courtship
cannot be continued through married
life when together. The strain would
be too great and the mask must and is
thrown off and trouble begins. Each one
finds that the other is not what he or she
seemed to be. What she or he in reality
was would bo just what some other
young man or woman would want , for
there is a Jack for every Jill. When de
ception , lying or false swearing is re
sorted to for material gain , it brings in
its train its own punishment every
time. Philadelphia Times.
How to Stop Sneezing and CouchlnR.
Most of us have no doubt experienced
the discomforts of being seized with a
fit of coughing or sneezing at the most
inconvenient times and places , and it is
not usually supposed that any exercise
of the will power can be made efficient
in checking either a cough or a sneeze.
Dr. Brown-Sequard , however , in one of
his lectures said that coughing can be
stopped by pressing on the nerves of the
lips in the neighborhood of the nose.
Sneezing may be stopped by the same
means. Pressing in the neighborhood of
the ear may stop coughing. Pressing
very hard on the top of the month is
also a means of stopping coughing.
A Itlan Eating Canal.
Perhaps the greatest waste of human
life ever recorded was caused by the
cutting of a canal in China. The work
was begun in 1825 , and though the
canal was 2U miles long , 80 feet wide
and 12 feet deep and passed through
forests and marshes it was finished in
six weeks from its beginning. No fewer
than 20,000 men worked at it day and
night , and 7,000 died of fatigue.
One Instance.
"Our proud name has never been
humbled in the dust , " said Miss Par-
Venoo.
"Ob , yes , it has , Sally 1" said the in
convenient and objectionable old friend
of the family. "I remember it happenin
40 years ago , when the wind blowed
down the sign off your grandfather's
shoe shop. " Indianapolis Journal.
A Brute.
Black Mrs. Greene accuses her hus
band of cruel and inhuman treatment.
Brown That's right. It is a custom
of his to get two or three of his coat
buttons hanging and his vest badly
