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."

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.

STRAWBERRIES ARE COMING
i0o fcou.Wear
The Gordon Hat?
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

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.

"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

"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

appeals with Immense artistic effect to the
