FANS AND HANDKERCHGEFs.
How They FIufser in Court Now as Of
Yore-Grave Judges sad Juries
Looking Into the Laws Bel
Rtive TO These Airy
Tribes.
Heavy Suiis Prosecuted and ResPeeta.
BILE Damages Gained.

A long poem might be written upon
the fan. 1t Is one Of womanis most ef-
fective weapons. It is like her pretty life
an airy nothing-asweetth thing a costly
affair, on occasions a trihe useful,
bauble almost. The fan has not much
Of tragic history, but if all the truth
about II were written, no doubt blood
enough would appear TO give the flutter-
ing thing a crimson tint for ages. It is
rather peculiar and not in the common
run Of our course and practical events,
that the fan should appear rs a bone OF
contention in a heavy litigious case,
wherein damages are claimed, never
theless, there is one example of that
sort now in the Second Circuit Court of
the city. The merits Of the affair are
easily understood. They appear to be
these: Last summer, Coll & Leidy, the
latter ordered jointly two hundred dol
lars worth Of fans, from printer of this
city, who executed the order and put
his name or his professional mark on
each fan. The contractors refused to
take them for this reason. They con-
tended that the fans were to be got up
as an advertisement for their exclusive
benefit, and that the name Of the printer
was a third advertisement of his busi-
ness. Hence they would not take the
goods. Suit for the recovery of the
money is now brought by the printer.
The case was partially heard in the
Second Circuit Court yesterday.
THE HANDKERCHIEF.
Right in the same building where this
fan suit is going on handkerchief liti-
CATION, no less peculiar in its nature,
was decided yesterday. The handkerchief
is a truly historic article. 1t is also emil
nently dramatic. We shudder when
ever we recall to mind the laundering
and terrible tones in which "Othellon
was wont to below forth in Desdemona's
ear "The handkerchief the handker-
chiefw The story OF that piece Of Vene-
tian calico is horrible. The misery in
case is not quite SO bad. Two years ago
a lady put a handkerchief Oh show at
the Fair Grounds. 1t was stolen. suit
was entered against the Fair Association
for the recovery Of two hundred dollars.
the alleged value of the handkerchief a
suit OF furniture Of that sort would be
costly. The jury yesterday, in Judge
Heiskelps court, gave a verdict for one
hundred dollars.

Soft summer breeZes walked to life,
a sweet, fair, fragile, beauteOus flower;
But ., too good, too pure for earth,
Twas called 20 bloom in Edin bower.
The first chill breeze that autumn sent,
That lovely flower laid low,
While. the parent stem with grief is bent,
And the tears Of sorrow fiOig.
That thus 50 soon those bright eyes closed:
That infant voice forever hushed
So early, cruel death imposed
So soon, those rising charms We're crushed
Though in the grave In sweet repOse
Is resting now amOthers pride,
Beyond the clouds the spirit rose,
When that dear sufferer died.
By pain and anguish thrice refined,
From every faint OF inbred sin,
That aching head on God recliped
As angels let the cherub in.
For Christ His angel convoy sent,
To bear her lamb-like spirit home.
Dear darling, leave the gates ajar,
That we may shortly come.
A loving Father but recalled
A boon He tenderly had given.
On earth the casket IS enthralled,
But the gem is sparkling now in heaven.

OBITUARY..
DIR. w. T. IRWIN.

WHEREAS, The sad news having reached us
Of the death of our friend and brother Physi-
clan, DR.. WILLIAM T. IRWIN, we have met 10
express our heartfelt sorrow al his loss, and to
Offer, in earnest words, our tribute Of love
and respect TO his memory.
This we feel a sadder duty. from the fact
that he died far from home and friends who
could not minister to his wants. nor be sur
rounded with their familiar forms and faces.
Had 70 been vouchsafed 10 Us, we would gladly
have soothed his last hours Nothing IS now
left Of affection and duty but to follow his
remains TO the grave and there dropping tears
Of sincere sorrow-bring away only the meTn-
ories Of our departed brothers worth as a
man and physician.
DR.. WILLIAM 7. IRWIN was born in Alex
andria, Virginia, on the 10th of April, 1913.
He graduated at Princeton College at the early
age Of sixteen years: graduated in the Medi-
cal Department Of the University Of Penn
sylyania, al Philadelphia, on the Sd day Of
April, 1880, lacking but few days of accom-
piishing his twenty-drst year.
DR.. IRWIN settled in this city in the spring
Of 1870, where the residue of his life has been
spent IN the honorable but arduous duties of
bis profession. He was kind and affection
ate friend, worthy and honored physician,
and as a gentleman never once forget, even
for moment what was due TO himself and
others; therefore,
ResotUed, That committee Of three OF our
professional brethren be appointed to receive
and provide for the remains
Resoired, That we attend the funeral as a
body.
ResolUed, That we deeply sympathize with
the relatives OF the deceased and OIfer our
heartfelt coincidence.
Resolved, That these proceedings be ub-
lished in the city papers,
