Gloucester Water Supply Company v. Gloucester
Argued: March 16, 1904. --- Decided: April 4, 1904
In the main, this case is like that of Newburyport Water Co. v. Newburyport (just decided), 193 U.S. --, ante, 553, 24 Sup. Ct. Rep. 553.
The Gloucester Water Company was engaged in supplying the city of Gloucester and its inhabitants with water under a nonexclusive charter and a nonexclusive hydrant contract made with the city. Under the authority of a statute enacted in 1895, similar in tenor to the act of 1894, considered in the Newburyport Case, the Gloucester company sold its plant to the city of Gloucester. After the sale the company petitioned for the appointment of commissioners to value the property. Objections were made by both parties to the award, and the objections were reserved for consideration to the full bench of the supreme judicial court of Massachusetts. That court accepted the award for the sum of $576,544 with interest. 179 Mass. 365, 60 N. E. 977. Thereafter the present suit in equity was instituted in the circuit court of the United States for the district of Massachusetts, the bill filed containing substantially similar allegations to those made in the Newburyport Case. Similar relief was also sought, except that there was no claim that the commissioners had not made an allowance for the unexpired term of the hydrant contract. After the decision in the Newburyport Case the circuit court sustained a demurrer and dismissed the bill on the merits.
For the reasons stated in the opinion delivered in the Newburyport Case, the decree of the Circuit Court is reversed at appellant's costs, and the case remanded, with instructions to dismiss the bill for want of jurisdiction.

# Germany's High Seas Fleet in the World War/Preface
## Preface

THE victor has the privilege of writing the story of the war; for one mistrusts the vanquished, because he will try to palliate and excuse his defeats. But we are victors and vanquished at one and the same time, and in depicting our success the difficult problem confronts us of not forgetting that our strength did not last out to the end.
Exceptionally tragic is the fate of our Fleet. It embodied the sense of power resulting from the unification of the Empire, a sense which was conscious of its responsibility to provide for the suitable security of our immensely flourishing political and economical ex- pansion. By creating a fleet we strengthened our claim to sea-power, without which the Empire must wither away, we remained a thorn in the side of the British, and their ill-will was the constant accompaniment of our growth. The freedom of the seas, which we strove for in line with our evolution, England was never willing to grant, even if it had to come to a world-War on the point.
In the four years' struggle which Germany waged against the desire of its enemies to destroy it, the Fleet was able, beyond all foreign expectations, to hold its own, and what is more, it was our conduct of the naval war that succeeded in forcing the stubborn enemy to the brink of destruction. But, nevertheless, we have lost the war, and with the surrender of the German Fleet the expectations of an independent shaping of our destiny have vanished for long enough.
To the history of the naval war, as it presented itself to me and was for some years carried on under my guidance, this book will add a contribution. I should like, however, along with the description of my war experiences, to give the assurance to the German people that the German Fleet, which ventured to boast of being a favourite creation of the nation, strove to do its duty, and entered into the war inspired only by the thought of justifying the confidence reposed in it and of standing on an equal footing with the warriors on land. The remembrance of the famous deeds which were accomplished on the sea will henceforth preserve over the grave of the German Fleet the hope that our race will succeed in creating for itself a position among the nations worthy of the German people.

# Grand history on curious subjects, both entertaining and pleasant/Between a Bee and Butterfly

Between a Bee and Butterfly.
ONCE on a warm and sunshine day, No matter when or where, A foppish gaudy butterfly Sat busking on a flow’r,
Chear’d by the solar genial ray, He thus indulg’d his song: Let misers hoard their useless wealth, For gold their cares prolong;
Let other folks with anxious care, Such as the ant and bee, Spend all their time providing for The days they ne’er may see.
For me among those beauteous flow’rs Myself as fair as they, Devoid of care I’ll spend each day, In dancing, song, and play.
A busy bee that rode that way, To gather liquid sweet, With nimble wing and humming drone The butterfly did meet.
​With rustic clownish impudence, He shov’d the bee aside, By wing and sting he ply’d him hard, And ruffl’d all his pride:
The powd’red beau upon the ground, Lay flutt’ring with his wings, Was robb'd of all his songs, And all his pleasant things.
Base scoundrel, from the ground he cry’d Base dun-pipe drunken robber, You’d drink the sea and spue’t again, For you are never sober.
You steal from every laird on earth, To cram up thus your hive,
You spunge the fairest of our flow'rs To keep your soul alive.
But I will be reveng’d on you, And strip you of your all. With brimstone candles smoke your hive While into pit you fall.
Beau, not so fast, the bee reply’d, For I remewber well, ​In August last you was a worm
Crawling on the green kale.
And then before December next, Will be a beau no more; Your brimstone candles I despise, Nor do your wrath deplore.
Thus I have seen a beggar’s son, Grow up into a beau, And flutter in the public streets, With gaudy dress and show.
Thus I have seen a porter’s head Run full against this beau, And lay his beauship on the gronnd, A spectacle of woe.

# Grand history on curious subjects, both entertaining and pleasant/Custom of Country Fairs

Custom of Country Fairs.
TO country fairs in summer time, The lads and lasses go, With powder and pomatum drest, They make a gallant show.
When they get on their braw new clothes, So buckish then they be, Each lad goes there to see his lass, Each lass her lad to see.
Thus Jock goes there to see his Meg, And Will to see his Kate. And Maggys’s there to see her Tom, And Jenny to see Pate.
Both black and fair you will see there, The yellow and the blue, The beautiful are there likewise, And those of tawny hue:
​The decent lads are also there, The foppish beaus also; The decent girls and glaikit runts, All in a crowd they go.
This I have seen at diff’rent times, Eye-witness I was there; The lassies conduct thus I’ve seen, And just at Carnwath fair.
At four or five in afternoon, They merrily begin, And every lad that wants a lass, Takes one and calls’t no sin.
One comrade to another says, We’ll in and have some punch; With all my heart he does reply, Likewise we’ll have a wench.
Away in haste they all do go, Some punch does ready make. And then in haste away they run, A lass they mean to take.
Then looks about that they may see The bonniest, as they think. ​Says, bonny lass will ye go in
With us and get a drink:
But some of them are very sweer And backward they will draw, Altho’ their Inclination gangs, They’re dowr to come awa’:
At length away they both do come, Sits down and takes a seat, And then they are so canty both, All’s right as they would hae’t.
Another sort’s of dancing keen, The beaus all of the age; They shake their feet, and wag their tails, Like fools upon a stage.
Promiscuous dancing’s what we ca’t, The women and the men, Together dance in company, On last-floor or in barn.
A gingerbread wife comes in at length, Or may be two or three, Gars many a lass her fairing get That ne’er a bit would see.
​⟨Come⟩, fy, lads buy your lass her fair, The sweet meat wives does say, They gar a simple chiel look blunt, Thinks shame me to say them nay.
For pressing work I do not like, ’Tis best when will is there. The lad that likes his lassie well, For twopence will not spare.
Some lassies they do get a lad, And some they do get twa, And some they do get many a one, And some gets nane ava.
And when the night is coming on, And some does homeward go, And some does tipple at the drink, How long I do not know;
Some swears by de’il, and meikle mair, They'll have another gill, Altho their purse is but light, They’ll tarry at the ale.
And some does stagger like to fa’ And measures ay the road, ​And some does not win hame that night, Unto their ain abode.
⟨Some⟩ has a lass when they go home, She walketh by his side, And some that’s of a higher rank, They take her on to ride.
And now their conduct I have view’d My verses I will close; ⟨I⟩ will go home unto my bed, And take the night’s repose.

A Letter to a Young Man.
ACquaintance here I do write, The following lines to you I dite ​In verses also as you shall hear, As afterwards it shall appear; I know you are a roving blade, You walk at night with kent and plade To see the lasses then you go, It is your full intention so, But still and on see you do right, When to the barn you go at night, And see you do yourself behave. In case you chance to play the knave, You love the lasses very dear,
Of kissing you’re not very swier, But whether they be black or fair, Kiss them well, but do no mair; When to the lasses then you go, See that you take day light also, For when you walk then in the night There ghosts and bogles may you fright Or folk that does not know you well, May think that you are come to steal You may the folk give muckle grief, When round their town thus goes a thief There they may shoot you with a gun And then your days they will be done Indeed you are come there to steal, But not the people’s oats or meal, It is the women then you want, Altho' at home they are not scant; ​Then in the dark some ill set loun, With a oak stick will break your crown, Or some may put you in a ditch, The midden hole, byre grupe, or such, Like places will you sore besmeer, And fright you then from coming here, Such evils then attend the night, ⟨I⟩ you advise to take day light. And now my verses here I’ll end, And just shall stop and wipe my pen; Now fare you well I must away, Again I’ll see you on the fair day. This is all from your well wisher, J B.

# Grand history on curious subjects, both entertaining and pleasant/On the Troublesomeness of Beards Shaving

On the troublesomeness of Beards Shaving.
BLEST is the man who wants a beard, Tho he should never be a laird, His chin is always smooth and short, No filthy razor needs be bought; His face is always a-la-mode, May ay be seen among the crowd; No greasy soap besmears his face, It constant shines with nature’s grace, Unrub'd with brush, unscrap’t with razor, Its nature hue is white with azure; It still continues brisk and gay, And constant shines so every day. ​To want a beard makes man look young, Apollo’s praise has oft been sung, Who unshorn his hair upon his beard, He was as bluff as a Fife laird. A beard is but a hedge-hog’s skin, A haunt for vermin to lodge in; A source of many woes and troubles, A hold for snuff; a haunt for bubbles, A meadow water’d by the nose, Where snotters in meanders flows; A beard makes man look like a goat, If give him but a white kelt coat: So now a beard costs very dear, It costs two hundred pence a year; There’s no religion in a beard, More than is in a moulder’d t—rd; Three beards 'tis true will make a quorum, Of old they grac’d philosophorum. It ill becomes a modern beau, Thro’ musty heard his smiles to shew, He who does praise a beard does scoff, The barber's paid to cut it off; A beard no manly face adorns, Nor son of man a cuckold’s horns. A bristley beard produceth horns, A lady hates a beard of thorns; ​A beard’s a brush to wear the cravat, Such ornament befits a cat. Man’s honour is to be like women, Their chins should both be smooth in common. Why have not women beards you’ll say, Why is not midnight turn’d to day? A beard would overcast their charms, The moon is hid among the storms; If women, either old or young, Till shaven, could they hold their tongue. Nature deny’d them beard and horn, Gave those the masc’line head t’adorn: Deliver me from horn and beard, I yield them glad to lord or laird; A beard will cause the women hate, And horns will make me claw my pate. A beard is brush-wood on the face, A crop luxuriant of disgrace: A downy beard betokens youth, A grey one age, such is the truth; To be too young or yet too old, I fear would make my Missie cold; I am freed from my beard you’ll say, That we ne’er meet again, I pray.
