Thu location of the republican state
convention for the present year al the
state capital causes a smile to cros the
foaturcq of Lincoln politicians ami the
magnllicont local lobby that gathers on
such ocaions is happy as can bo over the
prospect of a biny time in a convention
and in a year that amounts to something.
The policy that Omaha parlies ha\o
worked for several voars pait has been
to throw the off year convention at Lin
coln , and thu years when the state officer -
ficer * are nominated to hold the conven
tion in Omaha. Lincoln has seen this
scheme xvorkcd with much success , and
while local politicians have sweat over It
heretofore , tholr jubilation at the present
time is all the greater. With tlio loca
tion of the convention made , with this
city winner , aud with the date mimed for
the convention , regulation political work
will commence and warm up with tlio
weather until the derisive ( lav arrives.
It has bei'ii e.xpi-cU'd Unit if the minds of
inninber-iof the central committee ran
back two years that the memory of being -
ing turned out of Iho opera house at
Oinnha would mitigate In Lincoln's
favor at the present time ,
nnd a returning delegate stated to the
BKI : representative that it was a winning
card. When Iho time comes around the
capital city will open its arms to the con
vention and furnish all the candidates
ono convention will need , or any lack of
candidates that might ercato a languid
period in its workings. Anent to candi
dates , it is slated that parlies , and two or
three at least of the prominent leaders in
Sewtird county , have their knives out and
whoitcd for the seal ] ) of the attorney
general. Whv this is Ihuslyisuot stated ,
but the information has been freely scat
tered In Lincoln for the bonelll of any
slate makers that may bo abroad in the
land. 11. T. Clarke , prominently men
tioned as a candidate for governor , canto
in from Omaha with the westward bound
members of the central committee and
the state ollierrs. Mr. Clarke , presuma
bly , favored Omaha for convention pur-
pot-e.s , but that he aequioscos in the de
cision in favor of Lincoln is in no way
butter illustrated than in the fact that his
visit to thu proposed battle ground was
\ made as speedily as a train could travel
thu distance.
UKOUGUTTOTIME.
The BEE made mention several days
since of flip exploits of a wife beaterwno
pounded his wife with lists and chairs at
the Depot hotel , in pohco court yester
day the sequel came tip for hearing , and
in a way not eomfortins for the scamp.
The case yesterday wasthecomplaint and
information of Maggie Molntyro , charg
ing her husband , .loo Molntyro , with fe-
joniously assaulting , pounding and beat
ing her , and with drawing a knife and at
tempting to kill and maiiu .her , , s\vo viig
1US intft .i'ion to riluruoriior. i'lio foun-
'Ulidon or place of tills abusive treatment
was at both this nlaco and Crete , and a
police ollicor procured the prisoner at the
latter place and brought him hero for trial.
Tlio story of the woman , who is related to
parties in Uichardson county , is that inner
nor married life of two yearsner husband
has put in about half his time in drunken
sprees , in nearly all of which ho would
beat and abuse her for money with which
to continue his debauchery. A short time
ago , at Holdrege , after her now six weeks
old babe was born , she determined to
leave her worthless husband , and consequently
quently returned to her people in Richard-
faon county. In a day or two ho followed ,
and under loud protestations of perma
nent reform , Induced her to come to this
city for work , whore , as before related , ho
boat her instead ol going to work , and
escaped jugging then through police
leniency. From hero they went to Crete ,
and there ho kicked and abused her until
she escaped and came back to this city
and turned the case oyor to the authori
ties. The hearing of the case was
quickly through with , and the wife beater
was sent back ; to jail to answer at the
next term of the district court under $300
bonds , when it is hoped ho will get his
deserts.
AN OLD orrr.NDEit.
An offender young in years but old In
crookedness was arrested and turned
into jail yesterday morning , charged
with stealing hides from dillorcnt slaugh
ter houses in the citv. The chap is
known by the name of Connors , and ho
laid in thu county jail the greater part of
last winter on a cigar stealing charge.
The ollicers of the pcaeo have expected
that his thieving would bring him
to the pen , and the present charge ,
that of burglary as well as
larconj' , brings prospects for a
trip over the road. The evidence
in the case , us adduced at the trial ,
showed that theyouiigman's mode of pro
cedure was to visit the .slaughter-houses
on thu outskirts of Iho town , after the
evening's slaughterings , break In and
steal Urn hldus left there , and wheel them
Into the city on a wheelbarrow , dispos
ing ot them to buyers in that lino. The
last exploit was a success all through thu
curlier part of the game , and about 3
o'clock in the morning ho appeared at a
dealer's store on Kasl O strdct , tolling tlio
dealer that he had bought his load out at
the graders' camp. But the dealer had
found out the chap was a thief , so ho
marched him into the city , ami butchers
went out nnd identilled the btolon prop
erty. Judge Talons , after a hearing of
the case , bound the thlel over to the com.
ing term of tho.distrlot court under $ yuO
bonds ,
MIKOlt AFFAI1IS.
The police court disposed of tour cases
of drunkenness yesterday , one of which
paid out and the others wore committed
to servo out their sentences on the street
works. Three of the number worn old
ollondors who have been out but a few
days nnd are beginning to feel at homo
in the jail.
Judge 1'arkor , of the county court , who
has been absent down in I'awneo county
attending wedding festivities and having
a vacation time generally , is homo again
and on duty at headquarters ,
Mr. Myron K. Wheeler was yesterday
united in marriage with Miss Cora Hum
phry , daughter of Austin Humphry , the
ceremony taking' place at high noon at
the Jiomp of the bride's parents , the wedding -
ding collation following the event being
spread by Lindsay at the house.
John lliomas , contractor for the build
ing of the second packing house in West
Lincoln , arrived in the citv yesterday
and made headquarters at Q'Polt's.
The play of Gulliver , given as a bcnn-
lit for the Homo for the Friendless , at-
traded a very largo house , and a well
pleased audience returned nonio at the
close af the evening's entertainment. A
large number of children comprised tlio
working force of the play , aud not the
parents alone wore pleased at their cred
itable bearing.

A delegation ot colored citizens were
up at police headquarters yesterday ,
where they had Marshal Beaoh cornered

of troubles , in which a disagreement be
tween pastor and people , the building
an addition to tlio rnureh , and other mat

When the discussion ran Into channels
entirely biblical and doctrinal , the mar-

to cover costs.
The state house yesterday presented n
gloomy nnd lonesome appearance to the
visitors who wandered that way. all the
heads of the departments being at
Omaha , with one or two exceptions , at
tending the republican state committee
meeting.
A very pleasant concert was given nt
the Congregational church last uvcning ,

A Hairy Family.
Pall Mall Gazette : Wo believe Professor
ser llu.xley has alioady called on the
family , aud this fact fives them a scien
tific cachet which is assuring to the mind.
They are not showman's curios , like Bar-
mini's seal ( now happily converted ) mer
maids and white elephants. The hairy
family wore under the protection of Thee-
baw , and have boon kept by him as pets
of the palace , with no end of attendants ,
food and tobacco. When the fall of Man-
dalay came the hairy pets their faces
are really like tho-o of flossy Skyo ter
riers made for a secret door and es
caped into tlio jungle. They wore re
captured and brought to Kngmnd , with
the assistance of Captain 1'iporno. by
Messrs. Archer and Farrintjton.
Death hail reduced the family
fiom three to two , and the mother ,
blind and sixty-three , and the son ,
twenty-nine , strong and muscular , who
is accompanied by his wife , an ordinary
Burineso woman. The hair of the man
at once centres attention upon him. "As
shaggy as a lion's mane , tlio long hair
falls so thickly from the forehead as to
completely obscure the features , and to
nc < " ! .silate the training of the long locks
boh , vl the cars lost tlio eyes should bo
hiddL.i. The growth spreads all over the
face in sitniliar profusion ; no part is un-
covore.d , and oven the outline of tlio nose
is rendered indistinct by the wavy
masses. Oh the face , indeed , it reaches
its lullcst development , measuring no
less than twelve and a half inches in
length. The hair of the head ,
darker in color and slightly coarser
in texture , is brushed up from the
sides into a knot on the crown a la chi-
noise. Perhaps the most marvellous
growth is that from the interior of the
ears , which are tilled with the hair
stretching live aud ? l tf Inches from tlio
drum , unit that from tlio Inside of the
nostrils , only an inch and a half shorter.
Moung Plioset is usually seated ICiiiopoau
fashion , for , unlike his mother , who pre
fers to squat Burmese fashion , ho does
not disdain to use n chair , so that his full
statue is not apparent. When he risen to
his feet ho looks fully the live feet seven
inches with which ho is credited. Tlio
mother's height is about four feet live
inches. " Ilis body is.of a tawny color ,
and its covering of soft silky llo s , which
attains its greatest length on the shoul
ders and.arms , where its length , six and
a half inches , gives him a leonine appear
ance.

Stooping Card With Ilntli Rooms.
Chicago Herald : "Talking about lux
ury on the rail , " said a traveler , "lot mo
tell you of a nice , thing I struck lasl
week. First let mo ask if every man ol
you hasn't often felt wlfen out on the
road that ho would give more for a good
bath than for anything else In the way
of personal comfort that -on could think :
of ? Of course you have. There is some
thing about railroad traveling that makes
a man yearn for his bath tub at homo.
You not only got dirry , but you fool that
you are dirty. The .stuu" seems to rilimo
you over , and stick you up , and interfere
with the natural functions of the skin.
And then to think of a live or six days'
trip across the continent without a wash ,
except of your handi and face , which
only makes tlio contrast with the njst of
your body the more striking , and renders
you more miborablo. I
"Well , it has boon generally supposed
that about all of the art and invention of
tlio world In the .mutter of securing oom-
fort for the railway traveler have their
homo In the United States , and particu
larly in Chicago , and yiH up in British
America last week I struck the nicest
thing I ever saw on wheels. It was a
sleeping car witli a bath room. It Is a
nice tub , and there Is plenty of room ,
and all the hot and cold water a man
wants , and everything nice , clean and
cozy. The charge f6r a bath is only CO
cents , and during the day I was on the
car there wasn't a passenger aboard who
didn't have nt least ono bath.
And every man and woman of 'cmsworo
that the luxury would have been cheap
and desirable at double the price. 1 be
lieve Pullman could make money by put
ting bath tubs in all of his cars , and just
ns soon as ho gets to believing that way
he'll put them in. It isn't tno comfort
for travelers that ho oares about , but the
prolits , you know , as he's running his
oars for all there is in them. A good
bath tub would beat some of his glin-
oraeks all to pieces , so far nsreal comfort
is concerned. Tint Canadian Pacific com
pany has quite a number of sleeping cars
litted up with baths. "
Captain Martlmer Nooly. of Coin , la. ,

Nctirnskn Farm Notes ,
\YahooTritnme : The growtu of the
Corn crop tlurluj : this mouth lias been
something wonderful and almost unpar
alleled in the cxriericiiso of our oldest
farmers. Mr. Gllclirist informs us that
ho measured corn in the Hold of .1.11.
Alosfc , ton Ills old homestead , that had
been planted Just thirty days and was
thirty inches high. The most of the com
on account of its size will Imvo to bo laid
by this month. The prospects for a big
corn crop in Nebraska were never better
at this season of the year.
Aurora Sun : Crops throughout the
county arc only ordinary. Corn is peed ,
bad and indilVuront , as the case may bo.
Some pieces arc ilno , many arc ordinary ,
and there arc numerous poor stands , and
much vary weedy and backward. The
wheat crop will evidently bo very light ,
uiaify pieces wo liavo scon will haidly
pay Tor cutting , oats is only fair and llax
tolerable.
O'Neill Tribune : The Klkhorn valley
is now clothed in its most comely garb ,
and to a person with an eye for the' beau
tiful in nature It is a slehf at once pleas
ing and enchanting. There is nothing
in the state like it and wo doubt if it can
bo equalled in point of beauty , by any
valley in the wo t.
Elk Crcctf Keho : Some of our farmers
have an excellent stand of corn , and
their fields look clean and their corn
Hi-owing finely. Others have plenty of
weeds and their corn looks thin and
sickly.
'West Point Progress : Mr. Hhinchardt ,
on an acre and one-half of ground , has
raised 5,000 nuarts of strawberries this
year. lie linus a ready homo market for
thorn at tlireo quarts for twenty-live
cents.
Elk Greek Echo : Corn put in with
planters shows an excellent stand in
most cases , while that put in with listers ,
so far as wo have boon able to ascertain ,
does not show up so well. The listed
corn may come out all right and make a
good crop , but to compare it with the
other at present it hardly looks as if it
would.
Nemahn Granger : If wo can judge
corn by what liolits wo saw from the
train , between Auburn and Omaha , we
wil | say that the prospect for a good crop
of corn is not flattering. In some fields
it was barely possible to see the rows , as
the corn was small and the weeds as high
as the corn.
Blair Republican : One of our eleva
tor men gives the opinion that the pros
pects for small gram is very poor in this
county , and the chances for improve
ment m the condition constantly de
creasing towards harvest. Corn is look
ing fairly well but a good deal of replant
very backward.
Papillion Times : Thousands of fruit
trqes in this county are dying from the
attack of some insect. Every farmer
ha9 his own theory as to the nature of tho"
several specimens of the worm in the
vinous stages , from the time he eomQs
from the e g until lull grdw'ni''When '
placed "nmlur n power glass the worm's
head appears cased in a coat of polished
steal , with delicate little saw blades on
the foremost part.
Wood River Gazette : Stock feeding is
rapidly becoming the loading industry in
this portion of Nebraska , and it is luckv
tor the general farming community that
such Is the caso. The feeding of as many
cattle , hogs and sheep as wore fed in this
vicinity , the past season , requires a vast
amount of grain and creates a home
market that aflbrds several cents more
on the bushel of corn than is paid by
shippers. Feeders may not make mil
lions out of it , every year , but it is a
grand thing for the country , just the
same' , inasmuch as it is mutually profit
able to both the producer and consumer
of grain.
Blair Republican : Crops in general in
this county are looking well , but the
farmers report wheat more or less af
fected with rust ami the prospect for an
average yield very poor. Comparatively
little wheat is sown to what there once was ;
many farmers have none at all , or only
sufliciont for bread and seed , ami a fail *
uro would scarcely afl'ect their general
prosperity. Oats are saia to bo good.
The Poor Farmers ,
Hardy Herald : \Vo have been reading
in papers , large and small , editorially
and by correspondents , all kinds of trabh
about the sloven and shiftless manner in
which the Kansas and Nebraska farmer
has handled his last year's crop of corn
and the thousands ot dollars lost in this
way that might have been saved just as
well as not , until wo are ready to call a
halt. If some of those writers worked
half ag hard or as patient as these very
farmers whoso corn lies on the ground ,
they would understand the cause and
have a better subject to occupy their
time. Now for instance this is the first
year in twelve that corn piled on the
ground has lost the farmer 10 per cent on
tlio JIlo. Then again the farmer who
owns the pile , which is such u bugaboo
to these professional gentlemen , came
hero two years ago , bought his land for
$3,000 , paid $500 eash , pays interest on
$1,600 , has improved 100 acres , miilt a
house , dug a well , erected a small stable
for his stock , fenced n small pasture ,
lived , bought his machinery , etc. , and
paid his bills out of a possible (00 or $800
more , and when last fall came ho tound
that his money was all gone , his credit
mostly used up , and the only way ho
could see his way out for himself ana
family was to put in the fore part of the
winter husking corn and haul it tq mar
ket later on. As it turned out he finds
himself the loser , which ho regrets as
much as the men who nro calling atten
tion to it , but like everything oTso that
goes wrong ho can't mend it. Those are
ta cts and tlio rule. But the farmer and
th o country is entitled to have the matter
explained. Vivo years hence these same
farmers will have their corn in cribs and
their stock In good barns and the big
farm all paid for ; then these same critics
will bo equally as lavish in their praise ,
Orchard and Fruit Garden.
American Agriculturist ; Newly planted
trees usually have a struggle for existence
this month. It will bo wise to mulch
these before dry weather begins. The
object ot a mulcli is to prevent evapora
tion of moisture from the soil , hence
litter of any kind , chip-dirt , or oven
stones , will answer. If the surface of the
soil of the orchard can bo frenently
stirred and kept light , this will answer
the same purpose as mulching. Early
varieties of apples and pears keep but a
short time after they are gathered , and
are readily bruised. If assorted and
properly packed in crates they are often
more profitable than later kinds. The
greater the distance from market , the
harder should poaches bo when truth.
ored. The fruit should still bn firm when
it roaches the market , it strawberries
aio in rows , remove the mulch cut oil'
the runners , and give a drosslnir of fine
manure or some good fertiliser ; pull up
up any weeds that are in the rows , and
return the mulcli to keep down weeds ,
If the soil can 'be kept cultivated the
mulch need not htt returned until cold
weather. As soon as pot layeied plants
are well ostablmhod set them out ; con

pearance , ( bee the sulphate of copper

ago. ) The grape insects at this season
are mostly large and may bo hand-
picked.
Money in Potatoes ,
The potato crop must always be sold
within u year after it is grown , and us
ually the best paying price is as the crop
is dun. U at least saves the expense of
extra handling. But there is rarely or
nevera year wfton the grower of a good
crop of potatoes neou make a lo.s on
them. Some time within the twelve
months a fairly remunerative price will
bo obtained. This year , although pota
toes have ruled dull and low most of the
year , there \\oro two spells when good
prices could bo had. One was just at
digging time , when most farmers wore
too busy to rush their crop on the mar
ket , This high price late In the season
cannot , however , bolp farmers to mar
ket a largo crop , ns the work of keeping
in good condition till this time is too
much except for a very few. But a few
bushels that can bo spared now will
bring nearly twice ns much as the sumo
quantity at labt fall's and winter's
prices.
Haying null llui'vcstlnjj.
The harvest is fast approaching the
central region of Illinois and correspond
ing latitudes east and west. How many
farmers cure their hay in the best possi
ble manner ? How many think that a
little more or less dew or a rain or two
more or less hurts the grass materially ?
A single wetting may take out the -10 per
cent of the real nutriment from the hay.
It is necessary , then , that ovcrv means
should bo used to preserve the soluble
juices of the grass so easily washed out
by dew and rain. It is not generally
known that these soluble portions of grass ,
easily washed out in drying , constitute
the integrity of the hay. The saving of
of these soluble constituents is what
brings stock through the winter in good
condition. The loss of them causes cattle
to bo "tailed up" in the spring.
Get into your meadow in the morning
with the mower as soon as the dew dries
oil' . Mow steadily until night. Hake up
everything into windrows at night , ex
cept the grass that was cut after II o'clock
in the uftornoohi. If the weather prom
ises to bo fair , the hay may lie in wind
rows , or better bunched , over niiriit. If
there are indications of a rain cook all
up that has bpea , raked. Rain or dew
does not injure green grass only that
partially dried. The next day that portion
tion of the gras"s ifot ready for the barn
should bo opened out and then raked
into heaps. If rain turciitcns. cock the
whole up Uy & \ \ - means. It is then meas
urably safe , and , lf rather green will
cure in the cock.
Clover is especially liable to injury.
The leaves of clover are the essential
parts of the whole plant. When wilted
somewhat , cock its up in high , narrow
cocks , let it lie overnight , open the cocks
ne\t day if the weather is fair , and haul
to the barn when dry. It is not gener
ally known that hay may bo hauled into
the barn very much greener than when
it is to bo put into the stack. It is true ,
nevertheless. The reason is that the air
is nearly excluded in the barn and not ex
cluded in the stack. It is important to
know this. But hay may neither bo put
in the barn nor in the stack when wet
with dew or rain. The moistures from
the juices of the plant and the absolute
moisture of rain and dew are two very
different tilings. Ono decomposes the
hay ; the other does not unless in pro
nounced excess.
Grain is not cut until so ripe that when
bound it will cure in the shockeveu when
the grain is in the damp state ; but if wet
in tut sheaf the moisture under the bands
will not dry out. Hence the absolute ne
cessity of shocking and capping to pre
vent wotting. Twine binders now place
the bundles in position ready for shock
ing. To shock so they will turn water ,
sot six sheayos in pairs together in line.
Place a sheaf at each end and one at the
side , somewhat leaning. Then tuKo a
fair sheaf , slip the band down somewhat
towards the butt. Break the heads down
evenly to each side to cover one end and
also the .side center sheaves. Break the
heads of another sheaf over , but not too
much spread , the idea being that this
sheaf will protect ( he center andtheothcr
end of the shock. Thus you have a shock
that will stand not only a shower , but a
continued rain , without being seriously
wet. Even after a considerable fioell of
weather the sheaves will bo ready for
stacking as soon as the outsidcs are
dried oil' .
Fat and Ioun.
The Hog : Wo question whether feed
ing for loan meat will bo brought to a
successful ibsuo with any degree- per
manency without breeding the trait into
an animal , nor can the trait bo brud
without feeding for it. The English
Berkshire , bred and fed for loan sides ,
degenerates through Its progeny into a
fat burdened beast soon alter its importa
tion Into this corn fed land. The necchsity
of a corn fed animal has determined the
character Ot American pork , and its
fatty character has In turn produced
and maintained u market which leaner
meats cannot supply , Its demands are
rather increasing than diminibhing , nor
are they likely to bo cheeked until ne
cessity compels n change in our mode of
feeding. The main reliance of thri farm
for many years to toino will continue to
bo thu extra heavv hog , plenti
fully interlarded , with fat. Such
fact will makenHbacon hog one of the
prime products for. the market , and an
immense sourceiof profit to the producer ;
for the reason 'tha't ' it is moru cheaply
raised , and will always bring the top of
the market. Since the days when the
famous Shcnandodh valley bacon em
bellished the tallies of epicures the
American hog lias practically loft our
tables. This not As it should bo , and
tlioso who encourage the breeding and
feeding of bacon hogs in order that wo
may fully onjoyntlui bit of lean , streaked
pork that givus ivrelish to the best of
meals , will not , onJy benefit his fellow
man , but will enjoy the profits of his-
righteousness. Any breed , by improper
feeding , will degenerate In its quality of
meat , and by a contrary course of feed
ing ami breeding any particular blood or
strain may bo entirely changed in char-
ncter and made equally profitable as
bacon hogs. Those who farm in a small
way , and must make the prolits from the
least outlay of labor and land , should al
ways food and breed Jean heirs , They
will not find it necessary to seek a mar
ket , for it will come to them and at top
prices.

LATE LEGAL LESSONS.
Decisions for the Imwjrcr' * Scrnti-
lloi.k.
Employer's Responsibility for Defect
ive Appliances. On appeal from judg
ment in the suit of an omplojo against
his employer for damages in negligence ,
and In which ho was doleated on the
ground that the defective apparatus had
not been shown to have been supplied bv
the emitlojcr , but that it was turnHied
by a follow employe for whoso negligence-
the employer ivas not bound the verdict
of the lower court was reversed. Chief
Judge Hoger. * , in delivering his opinion ,
said " I'ho rule H unqualified that a
master is bound to u < e all reasonable
cnro. dililgence and caution in providing
for the safety of those employed by him ;
.safe , sound and suitable tools , imple
ments , appliances and machinery in its
prosecution and to keep them in repair.
This duty he cannot escape bv delegat
ing Its performance to another , or having
required work to be done without taking
precaution bj making duo inquiries as to
the time and manner of performance with
regard to any dancer arising therein. Ig
norance of tlio mastorof defects in the in
strumentalities used by his servants in
performing Ins work is not a defense to
an action by an employe who has been
injured by them , when , by the exercise of
proper oaro and inspection , ho could have
discovered and remedied the defects or
avoided the danger incidental therefrom.
In this ca c proper inspection would have
disclosed the defect which caused the
plaintili's injury , and tlio defendant must
compensate him. " ( Benzine Vs. Steinway -
way : Court of Appeals of New York. )
IMxturud and Porbonal Property : An
engine , boiler and certain machinery
were claimed as personal property by
one party and as fixtures by another. A
shed , opening only into thojfactory , hail
been built over the engine and and boiler ,
and the latter rested on a brick ash-box ,
while the machinery was partly nailed
and partly screwed to the lloor. The
master to whom the matter was referred
found the arlielesitobejpersoual property ,
not fixtures ; and the case being carried
up on appeal this decision was sustained.
Judge Holmes in his opinion said : "Per
haps it would have saved perplexing
questions if tlio rule of the common law
had been more strictly adhered to , that
whatever Is annexed to the freehold by
the owner becomes a part of the realty
and passes by a conveyance of it. The
right of n tenant to sever chattels which
he has attached to the realty might bo
admitted , and yet the property might
bo regarded as fund until severed , as it
seems to bo in England. The decisions
of this state [ Massachusetts ] establish
that machinery may remain chattels for
all purposes , oven though physically at
tached to the freehold by the owner , if
the mode of attachment indicates that it
is merely to steady them for their more
convenient use , and not make them an
adjunct of the building or soilVo sec
no ground to interfere with the finding
of the master in this case. This property
is not at all necessarily to be considered
fixtures. " ( Carpenter vs. Wuluor ; Su
preme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. )
Change of Life-insurance Beneficiaries ;
The policies of insurance issued by a
mutual benefit association provided that
they should bo paid to Mich person or
persons as the insured may designate by
will or upon the books of the corporation.
The charter of the association provided
that upon the decease of any ! U"Uibs the
fund to which his inmily was entitled
should be paid as designated in thu appli
cation for membership , or in case tlmt
should be rendered impossible by death
or otherwise , it should in order (1) ( ) to his
widow and infant children , (2) ( ) to his
mother and sisters , (3) ( ) to his father and
brothers , ( ! ) to his grandchildren , and (5) ( )
to his legal heirs. In a case where the
insured. 111 his application directed that
payment should bo made to his two sons ,
but subsequently , with the consent of the
company , though without the consent of
the original beneficiaries , designated his
wife as tlio beneficiary , it was held that
under the provisions mentioned the
designation of the benefiiciarics in the
application so fixed their rights that
another beneficiary could not bo named
without their consent. ( Presbyterian
insurance fund vs. Allen ; supreme court
of Indiana. )
Concealment of facts in insurance : In
giving judgment in n case where the
principal has been kept in ignorance of
facts which , if known , would have ren
dered insurance possible , the court .said :
"No policy can be enforced by an assured
who has been dejiberately kept in ignor
ance of material facts by some one
whoso moral , if not legal , duty it was to
inform him of them , and who has been
kept in such ignorance purposely in
order that ho might bo able to olToct the
nsurancc without disclosing these facts. "
In the case at bar the owner of an overdue
ship bad nrnmgcd to effect an insurance
upon the vessel through the agency of a
broker , who , however , did not effect the
insurance , but hearing a rumor of the
loss of the ship concealed bin knowl
edge , apparently with the view of enab
ling his principal to obtain better terms
than lie could have secured had the rumor
been known. The principal , in ignorance
of the rumor , afterward effected an in
surance on the ship through another
broker , who likewise Know nothing about
the report. It won hold that the conceal
ment was fatal to the insurance. ( Black
burn ct nl. vs. AMgors ; English court of
appeal. )
Recovery of money paid by mistaKe :
The rule that money paid under the mis
take of law cannot bo recovered from
the person who has received it , does not
apply whore the payment is made to and
received by an ollicer of the court in Inn
capacity as such. This was a case whore
money was demanded by and paid a
trusted in a liquidation under the English
bankruptcy act of 1800 , mid the person
paying the money discovered that ho had
not been legally liable to pay It. The
court held that the trustee in the liquida
tion was bound to repay the money out
of the assets available for distribution
among the creditors , ( Ex parto Sim-
mends , re Carnac ; English court of ap
peals. )
Equivalent notice of honor : The drawer
of a bill of exchange before it became
duo wrote to the holder saying that
the bill would notQ bo paid when due ,
though he believed it ultimately would
bo met by the administrators' the
deceased acceptor , To this the holder
replied in a letter saying that ho must
look to the drawer to take up the bill ,
Held that thcso letters amounted to u
waiver , and wore equivalent to an inti
mation by a party entitled to notice that
ho was aware that the bill would bo dis
honored and that ho would ultimately bo
looked to for payment. ( Coulsher'va. .
Toppin ; English court of appeal. )
AhAignmont of insurance claim : A
town insurance company in Wibconsln ,
organized under the laws of 1872 , paid a
loss caused by a lire started through the
negligence of a railroad company , and
took an assignilicnt of the whole claim
for damages Irom the Insured the claim
being in excess of the amount for whioli
the insurance company settled thu loss.
Hold that the assignment was valid and
entitled the asiigncos to recover the full
amount of the claim from the ruilroiyl
company. ( The llustisford farmers'
Mutual Insurance company vs. ( ho Chicago
cage , Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad
company ; supreme court \Visoonsin. . )
Fraudulent disposition of propurtyt
Several months prior to the execution of
a note given and accepted in settlement
of an open account as an absolute pay
ment of the indebtedness the debtor
inudo a fraudulent disposition of u part
of his property. Hold that thU was not
it ground for attachment In an action
brought to recover upon the note , al-
Ihough it Was made during the existence
if the npon account. ( Hershfiolil vs.
[ . .owcnthal ct al , ; supreme court of Kan-
> as. )
"Reasonable Time" on dnmand note .
A demand note , if not presented for pay
ment within the period specified in the
defining statute -instates where "reason
able time is not defined "by statue is
overdue so ns to subject nny one taking
it to all defences to uliicli it would bo
open in the hands of the payee. ( Payne
vs. the Vermont Central railroad com
pany ; supreme court in the United
States. )
A THmLLINGAD\7lNTURE. \
Ho\v a Tattooed Cross Sn\cd tlic Iilfo
oTn Inn from Cnnnlbnls.
Rev. Thomas Needham , the Baptist
evangelist , \\ho o roliciotis work in this
eltv , says the Washington Post , H now
eveitiug considerable attention among
the BaptUts , has had , according to his
own story , a very remarkable and Inter
esting history. Whun he was but ten
\earti of age he went to sea on board an
English vessel bound for South America ,
'I'ho captain was a very brutal man and
often til-treated the lad , and the sailors
not Mow to imiHto the example
of their superior , also made the boy
an object of all manner of petty abuse.
One of the seamen , jul before the arri
val of the vessel at her destination , took
young Needham , and , tying him to the
mast , proceeded to latoo the boy's arms
and a portion of his body , the crow re
garding the matter In the light of a joke.
Arri\iug at South America iSeedham was
placed on shore and deserted in the
midst of a howling wilderness. Left to
roam at will in the midst of dangers , It
was not long before the boy was captured
by a band of Patagonlan Indians , a tribe
which , according to the reverend gentle
man's statement , had a custom ot serving
up human ficsh at state dinners.
This would certainly have been his
fate had not the Indians , on removing
his clothes , discovered the pictures on
Ins arms. One of the Hsureswns a cross.
This emblem of the Christian religion
for these rude savages had , on one or
two occasions , become intimately ac
quainted with missionaries touched
their savage hearts that they Instantly
determined to spare his life. The scene
must have been very impressive , for Mr.
Needham states that ho saw tears count-
iuir down the ohcek.s of his captors.
After that he was taken oaro of by the
Patagoninns such good care , in fact ,
that for nine years , although Ids effort H
were ceaseless , he was unable to ocnpo
from them. "They regarded me , " lie
savs , " as a god , " though perhaps they
valued him us a work of art. At any
rate , his sojourn among them was of
long duration , and when he was finally
able to return to civil/.atiou it was as a
man ready to servo his Creator tor the
protection afforded him amid such peril.
Mr. Needham spoke at the Fifth Bap
tist church yesterday monung , afternoon
and evening. He is an Irishman , about
forty ye.ars of age , and speaks with n
rich broguo. Ho" is short of stature , has
a round , rod and fleshy face , and looks
not unlike a Now York ward politician.
His hair Is very black , and a heavy mus
tache of the same color covers his mouth.
In preaching ho speaks rapidly , uses good
English aud renders his subject interest
ing by numerous illustrations and anec
dotes. His manner is e.arnest and very
forcible. In h.s . sermons yesterday ho
spoke of the fair appearance of sin and
the impossibility of resisting it without
the aid of religion. "It is useless , " he
said , "to attempt to curb the human pas
sion. Von mav ocL this old Adam nature
as much as you like , but the nature i'p-
mains the same and will assert itself in
the course of timo. The only power that
will change it Is Jesus Christ. "
Mr. Needham has been preaching for
several 3'cars , and has hold meetings in
most of the largo cities throughout this
country , as well as in England. Ho has
been in Washington for some time and is
well regarded by Baptist clergymen.

ho did not see asuilioiently largo percentage -

would oblige him if , oeforo purchasing

color of the handbills. If the handbills
were white , the play would bo suitable
