COURT AGAINST EASY MONEY Tenant. Are ExpeeUd to AToid Injury from Difcota ia Fropertj. PROPER TIME TO HIT THE LANDLORD If llonsr U Out of Hrpulr tiet It risril nt Once null t'liiii-ue Up tin; Cot to tlm On iter. If there IS a broken window In.a tenant's houso bo has no right to let It remain upon, allow tho March winds to send his family to bed. with the pneumonia and then auo tho owner of tho property for damages. The tenant's duty Is to havo tho window re paired as soon as possible nnd charge the cost.' of tho work up to tho owner. Such an Illustration wns used by Judge Slabaugh yesterday when he was ruling on h motion to Instruct tho Jury In tho, case of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insuranco company against Lewis H. Kent, in this coso tho plaintiff seeks to recover obout $1,500 rent and the defendant c,omes back with a counter claim for $15,000 damages. It appears from the ovldcnce In the caHu that the Insuranco company rented the building to Kent for hotel purposes durlua the exposition and contracted to keep It lii repair. About two weeks utter ho opened the hotel Kent discovered that the furnacu Hues were out of repair, tho gas pipes leaked and the wall paper wns on crooked. Becnuso smoke and gas tlfted through tho houso and the wall paper failed to meet tho nesthettu requirements of the guests, the business of tho hotel suffered, and on this Kent bases his claim for damages. Defect Are VUllile. It appears from the evldenco that Kent knew of tho defects In the building, but. ilia not havo thorn corrected, as It was posstbto for him to have done. Ho Just refused ti. pay the rent, suffered the loss that camo to htm under the circumstances nnd put in ft claim for damages when ho was sued by his landlord. After the evidence was all In tho lawyers for tho plaintiff moved that tho court In struct the Jury to return a verdict for them on the ground that there was no testimony to support the defendant's counter claim for $15,000 damages. Judge Slabaugh de cided to allow tho case to go tn tho Jury, but with Instructions from tho court which would prevent It from reaching a verdict contrary to the law and tho evldenco in the case. "This Is a rase lit which the question of avoidable circumstances enters," said tho court, "nnd tho law on that question is so well settled that It might as well be taken Into consideration In Instructing tho Jury. If a man suffers an Injury that he could havo avoided by tho exercise of prudenco he cannot recover damages for that Injury. If you rent; a house nud find that tho furnace Is out of repair It Is your duty to get It fixed, and It It's so bad that it can't bo repaired, throw It out and put In n now one, charging up tho cost to tho owner who has contracted to keep tho houso In proper shape.4 Don't let your family frcczo and then go nfttr your landlord Xor damages. "In this caso It appears that tho Injury was tho result of clrcumstnnces that could have been avoided by tho tennnt, nnd I shall therefore Instruct tho Jury that ho Is entitled only to nominal damages, If any."

THEY COME FROM ILLINOIS .Mllllucrx KxtulilUli I'reeeden t CouiiiiK Went to llu. This week Is Illinois week In Omnha'h millinery trade. The makers of women's head wear from the Sucker state are tier's in force, that stato sending nearly 30 per cent of tho buyers now In the city. Thu lata arrival of tho eastern dealers Is ac counted for by the fact of their proximity to Chicago, whero they can go arid get their goods generally nt any time before the opening of the retail season. Special In ducements were offered this season by Omaha millinery Jobbers, nnd the milliners did not muko up their minds to come west ! until they had In many cases Inspected I Chicago stocks. The curiosity and dis counts caused them to turn their eyes to ! Omaha, and while hero they hove placed some handsome orders, j In tho dry goods houses the fourth weok of tho spring trndo finds little falling uft I In tho sales, nnd the traveling representa tives nro still so busy entertaining visitors that they hnvo no time for tho road. It is estimated that 650 milliners visited the city I during tho season, which may bo said to bo practically closed this week, nlthough many buyers will come In until tho week before Easter. An attempt to estimate tho number of visitors In tho dry goods lines would ho abfcurd, for whilo the Manufacturers' and Jobbers' association has kopt n record of those to whom railroad fare has been re funded, no attempt has been made to report those whose purchases have not reached uu amount sufficient to secure tho rebate.

I'lml Slilimiriit of tlu Fruit for the SruNon Arrive Here In u Week or Two, Omaha commission men are geCtlug ready for the annual crop of strawberries, which in n week or to will begin to arrive In quantities which nt times tax tho efforts of the local distributing houses. By March 20 tho first strawberries from Mississippi, Louisiana' and Texas begin to ut In un appearance. They como by express and their chief claim for attention 1b tho fnct that they are the first and most expensive. Tho first week In April sees the arrival of the first cor loads of berries. They corao from southern Arkansas and nro of better quality and generally of lower price than tho first fruit. , Two Veoks nfter that the berries of northern Arkansas begin to arrive and tho season Is then approaching Its height. Tho busy time of tho market M between May 1 nnd Ma) 23, when tho southwestern Missouri berries arc being handled. Omaha Is con sidered ono of tho best markets In die country for tho strawberries of Missouri and several carloads arc consigned to deal ers each day. Thon the price reaches Its lowest point and tho berry season Is In full swing, Representatives of local houses nro now at Springfield, Sarcoxle, Pierce City nnd other strawberry centers making arrange ments to secure consignments. They re port that tho prospect for berries Is good and that tho acreage will he about tho same ns usual, although some places which havo been considered among the principal ship ping points have practically gone dut of business and other places havo entered tho market, Deolors expect thot prices ylll be considerably higher than Inst season on ac count of tho prosperous condition of the country, but bcllevo that ns thero will bo a largo crop nothing In tho way of extremely high prices will prevail. While the commission me nro getting ready to welcome the strawberry thoy nre bidding adieu to white plume celery. Tho last consignment arrived this morning, nna thero will be enough to supply the market until next week, when It will disappear until time to go on with tho Thnnksglvlng turkey next fall.

"Tho Sentimontallsts," by Arthur Stan wood Pier, is tho suuond of twelve American novels to bo published by tho Hnrpcrs dur ing 1801', written for the most part by new American wrltcra and dealing with dlifeient phases of.contempornry Amurlcnn life. Tho first volume of tho series, "Knstover Court house," was noticed In theso columns last month. "Tho Sentimentalists" Is n novel of contemporary social llfo In Iloston iiiid tho west, a lovo story from beginning to end. Thero Is no lack of Incident and the plot Is such as to hold tho Interest of the reader throughout. In Mrs. Kent, tho lead ing figure, tho author has created a character both Interesting and unique. She Is n woman of unbounded ambition, largo abilities nnd strong personality and tho reader cannot fall to bo deeply In terested In her career, as well as touched by hor tragic death. Harper & Bros, Price, Ji.r.0. Albert Sontilehsen left San Francisco for Manila in 1898 on tho transport Zealandla, of which vessel ho waB quartormaster. After tho capture of Manila he Joined the Utah buttery mid was subsequently taken prisoner, remaining In tho hands of the Filipinos some ten months. Under the title, "Captured by Filipinos," he has written an account of his many experiences whllo a prisoner of war, Tho story which ho tells is one of great Interest and wfll bo greatly enjoyed by rcadors fond of stories of adventure. The volume Is es pecially valuable for tho Ideas It gives as to tho true character of tho Filipinos. Ad ditional Interest is given to tho recital by the fact that Lieutenant Glllmnrc nnd hli party wero Imprisoned with him. Whllo nt times tho author's treatment was bad, he records many Instances of kindness re ceived at tho hands of .thu natives. Of them he writes: Considering the circumstances, the pov erty of those who held us, themselves sometimes starving, we ought not tn com plain. Those who really havo come In sufllclently close contact with the Fili pinos to know them, nnd nro enabled to JiiiIko them without racial or national prejudice, cannot hut admit that they nr as entitled to be culled civilized as other nations, and oven more so than soma whoso representatives wo recelvi ut our capital nnd accord tho same honors as those of tho most polished nations. Considering the chalices they had hud, or rather not hud. and who their teachers were, the Filipinos havo certainly behaved as well, If not bet ter, toward their prisoners than other na tlnus have ilono In recent wars. Charles cribner's Sons, Now York, "Tho King's Oold" Is a now story by Sirs. Elizabeth Cheney, author of "Tho Lapada rlcs." It is a well written story, spiritual in tone, In fact might be described as of a Fcml-rellglous character, The author has worked up into an entertaining story a bit of family history which is not lacking in both the pleasing and tragic events of evcry-day life. The scenp Is laid In New Kngland nnd New York and, while tho au thor does not directly point a moral to the story, the reader can readily draw his own conclusions from tho strong contrast, be tween tho lives of two Bisters. One was domestic In taste, choosing to remain and care for her parents and eventually marry- log n roan of rcspectabjllty and solid worth. Tho other, wilful and wayward, ran nwny from homo to marry tn unprincipled scoun drel who made her llfo wretched and drove her to an early grave. Tho real hcroluo of tho story is a daughter of this last men tioned union and the plot turns upon her determination to lead an upright religious llfo In splto of a dissolute father nnd his equally dlssoluto friends. The story closes with tho triumph of tho heroine over all opposition nnd her marriage to n cleryman who, llko herself, was devoted to tho cause of nmellointlng the condition of tho labor ing classes. Eaton & Mains, New York. Price, $1.23. "Tho New Don Quixote," by Mary Pachcco, Is a stirring novel not wanting in dramntlc characteristics, hut somewhat on tho sensational order. The characters nre either very good or very bad nnd In either caso somewhat overdrawn. Still, there Is something about the story that will un qucstlcuably please a large class of read ers. The story opens in Arizona, where tho hero, the proprietor of a cattle, ranch, saves tho life of a visiting Englishman, who turns out to be tho villain of tho story. Tho ranchman, by the death of relative:, becomes nn English lord and the scene Is continued nt his castlo In England. While the hero Is pictured In the most exalted light as a man of impeachable honesty anil sterling qualities, the' author makes him do a, good many absurd things, so much so as to catiso a suspicion of his sanity. Abbey Press, Now York. Price, 1. William Penn, tho foundor of the com monwealths of Pennsylvania, left such an indelible stamp upon the character of ono of tho great states of tho union that bis life and personality will always he a matter of Interest to tho American people. That tho state which ho founded should bo In wealth and population second only among all tho states of the union certainly speaks well for his foresight and knowledge of state craft. The story of his life, written by Gcorgo Hodges, ought therefore to find many readers among the people interested In the enrly history of their country. It is published In a llttlo volume of 110 pages and Is entertainingly written, being a part of the IMversldo Biographical scrlos. Houghton, Mimin & Co., Boston. Price, 75 cents.

Mr. Johnston, although for sevoral years n resident or New York, is tho fon of a momber of tho English Parliament from Belfast and was formerly in the Bengal civil service.
