A Commercial AGENCY sued.

The commercial agency of j. NJ. Bard
street Il Co., of this city, has suit in San
Francisco which involves the question of
legal privilege in making adverse reports
on the financial standing of business men.
Francis Il Valentine, a San Francisco firm,
are the plaintiffs. They say that they were
rated as sound in the Bradstreet reports
until they gave favors to rival CONNER
cial agency. Then they were put down at
'66. which, according to the key, meant
"subscrlbers must apply at our Office for con-
fidential information. The plaintiffs assert
that this was done maliciously, with the
deliberate intention Of inj uring their credit,
and their demand is for $50, 900 damage.
Bradstreet & Co.'s defense ia that the pub
LEGATION was not libelous. Judge Nor
rison, who heard the case, has decided in
favor of the plaintiffs.
The language used against Francis g.
Valentine is not ibelOus ser Se," he ruled,
"but when it is shown that the agency
published it with intent to injure the plain
tiffs, to break down and destroy their bust
ness, knowing the matter to be false-and
persons who read the report understood it
as meaning that the firm was not of good
credit-a good cause of action has been
made out. Commercial agencies can not
publish matter of this kind having a covert
meaning, which is false and done ma
lieiously, without being held responsible for
damages sustained by the plaintiffs"
The case has gone to a higher court. The
laws affecting it are Substantially the same
here as in California, and 90 the final de-
cision is anxiOusly looked for by all the
New York commercial ageucies.-Nesc

MeerSchauSn NfaHia.

The mania for meerschaum pipes, though
perhaps not SO prevalent now a. formerly,
has produced not few plpOmaniacs the
world over. A New York gentleman, for
instance, has q collection of some 400 meer-
schaums, all beautifully colored. This is
rather an expensive taste, however, for be-
sides the first cost of the pipes, he has to
keep tive men continually employed, whose
sole duty is to smoke and keep the 400
pipes in order. One of the greatest
pipe fanciers in the world, Major Gen.
eral Raaalovich, of the Russian army, is
now in this country. He has collection
of more than 600 pipes. Since he has
been in this country he has purchased
a number of meerschaums, and there is now
in the hands of one of the most prominent
manufacturers in New York a magnificent
meerschaum pipe made to his order. The
bowl forms the bust of very beautiful
woman, and is q correct likeness of the
Generals wife, taken from life. The stem
and mouthpiece are Of amber, fifteen inches
long. The whole cost $lh0. This pipe will
be taken to Europe as a curiosity, for it
seems that General Raffalovich had an idea
that such things could not be made in this
country. He is now travelling in the West,
and will doubtless enrich his collection by
adding some of the celebrated calumets
made of the famous red pipe-stOne by the
Naturalization Post.

The BENNINGTON Affair Explained.

The story from Bennington, Vermont, to
the effect that little Charley Ross. tine alb
Quoted Philadelphia youth, had been found
in that town is without foundation. Fred
erick Hamilton. the husband OF the woman
who had the boy supposed to be Charley
and who is now under arrest, is in Boston
city in Barnum's hippodrome. He received
a telegram announcing his wifes arrest and
the charge preferred against her, and was
very much annoyed. In an interview this
afternoon he stated that the child in the
possession of his wife answers the descrip-
ton of the Ross boy. but that it was adopted
by himself and wife on the first of March
last, several months previous to the abduc-
ion of the Philadelphia boy. In proof of
this statement he exhibits the proper adop-
ton papers, and his story is further sup
ported by the managers of the hippodrome,
who have employed Hamilton for the past
four years, and are perfectly familiar with
the circumstance of the adoption.
The documents establishing the fact of
legitimate adoption have been forwarded
to Bennington this evening to procure the
release of Mrs. Hamilton. The child was
adopted in New York, and its original name
was Charley Gross, a fact which explains
the cOnfOunding of his name with the Ross
boy when questioned by the Vermont Of
ficers. Since his adoption Mr.. Hamilton
says his wife has tried to learn the boy to
think his name is Hamilton, and hence the
story OF the little fellow that his new
mother had told him that he must not say
his name was Ross. The real father of the
boy is tinsmith, and works on Fourth
avenue, in new York, near the Hippodrome.
Mrs. Hamilton was stranger in Benning-
ton, and was there on a visit to her grand
mother when suspected and arrested. The
circ uml tances were all sipgularly strong
against the woman, but an investigation
will leave the Philadelphia mystery as
great as eyer.-Nesc York EorM.

Well, they must battle, of course; what

to risk his limited portion of flesh and bones
in the dashing foam lest some unlucky bill

An Old Musket.

The New Hampshire Historical Society
has in its possession a musket, concerning
which some interesting facts are given in
the Concord Monitor. 1t was presented to
the society at its anniversary, last June,
by the venerable Levi Bartlett, of Warner,
who accompanied the presentation with
some words of a descriptive character. In
1907, Joseph Bartlett, of Newburyport,
Massachusetts,, aged twenty -one years. was,
with others, drafted to 90 to Haverhlll and
guard that place against an unprecedented
attack by French and Indians. August 90,
1908, that town was beset by about 16O
French and fifty Indians, when several
buildings were burned and many people
killed. The survivors then surrendered,
Mr.. Bartlett secreting his gun in the
chimney, and was taken to Canada. where
ne remained in captivity more than four
years. On his liberation he proceeded to
Haverhill and found the gun where
he had left it. Richard Bartlett,
then of Amesbury. Massachusetts,
but afterwards of Warner, this State,
served more than three years in the war of
the revolution, bearing all the while this
now very ancient musket. Becoming an
inhabitant of Warner, Mr.. Bartlett took
much satisfaction in exhibiting this COM
panion of his in the struggle for indepen-
dence. But on the anniversary of Ameri-
can freedom, many years ago, some War
ner boys brought the ancient piece into
requisition with which to honor the birth
day of liberty, and put in an enormous
charge. Twelve inches of powder were
supplemented by several inches of damp
earth, with which to make the old war
worn gun "speak." 1t did speak its voice,
but it was the last report it ever made
The barrel and stock was so shattered that
all that could be done was to bind the parts
together with a strong cord, and in this
plight it is now seen. Mr.. Levi Bartlett, in
presenting the musket to the society, acted
in behalf of Mr.. Thomas II. Bartlett, now
of Warner, great grandson of its first
owner

The National Pauper.

A London letter says: "A report has
suddenly gained currency that the long ex-
pected crisis has occurred in the financial
affairs of the Prince of Wales, and that the
ministry have made up their minds to pro-
pose to the House Of Commons, at the next
session. to pay his debts. The sum named
is EAU, 600, four times the sum that was
voted in 1877 to appease the creditors of
that pattern of royalty who afterwards be-
came George w. About paying the bills
there are certain to be two powerful and
contradictory sentiments, one that The
honor of the nation is concerned in pro-
viding for the debts of its future king; the
other that these debts are of a character
which ought to be paid out of the accumu-
lated fortune of the Queen. The latter
view rests on the well known fact that the
Queen has been receiving, ever since the
death of Prince Albert, the whole of the
income calculated at her decessi0n to sup
port the expenses of the court IN the usual
degree of splendOr; that her majesty has,
however, lived during this period, for the
most past, in retirement, and the cost of
the drawing room levees and other royal
pageantry has, in fact. fallen upon the
Prince and Princess of Wales, whose in
come has been unequal to such burden.
The existing debts, or a considerable part
of them. have, according to this theory.
been incurred in the discharge of these d1.
ties; hence it is urged that the Queen. who
has had and kept money given to her by
the State for such purposes, ought to nav
them. The Prince Of Wales has 100000
year, plus the revenues of the Duchy of
Cornwall, which now amounts to over
fl0O, coo per snnum.
