General Trade.

No rain has fallen here for nearly
zen days. and none worth speaking Of
for more than two weeks. The ground
is dry and parched, plowmen speak of
it turning up in hard clods, and field
work is unsatisfactory, all for lack Of
moisture. Young corn grows very
slow, and cotton will not Sprout until
~ rains. Small vegetables are also
st,anted for want Of wetness. The
prouise of a few showers to-day is
therefore quite welcome. There is
but little spirit in any branch Of trade,
and its volume throughout the Coun-
try is far below anticipations. The
tendency in all things is steward lower
prices, and it begins to be felt that the
speculative boom of last fall and
winter was carried beyond reasonable
bopp61. Recent advices from Pitts
burg report bar iron nearly % per

-four droopy; wheat tends downward;
coffee shows less strength; better is

DEATH OF FRANCIS b. FOGG
Nashville Loses One OF Her Most
Venerable and Respected
Citizens.
Nashville American. al

Nashville American, Al
Francis Brinly Fogg, Esq, died at
the residence Of his son-in-law. Col.
w. b. Reese, No. % Rutledge street,
yesterday morning, aged IS years. He
was born in Connecticut in 1895,
studied law with his relative. Senator
Hunter, at Newport, r. l., and in
1917 came to Nashville and remained
here from that date until his death.
In 1922, he was married to a
daughter of Major II. M. Rutledge,
OF South Carolina. His wife, who
died several years ago, is still remem-
bered for her many virtues and intel
lectual qualities. In 1884 he was sent
from this district to the constitutional
convention of Tennessee. 1t will be
seen by a glance at the journal of that
convention, how largely he contribu-
ted to form an admirable convention.
Mr.. Fogg and Major Bowling Gordon,
Of Hickman county, were the sole
surviving members Of that body. He
was sent to the state senate in 1872,
when the state was inaugurating our
present system of railroads, and large
ly assisted in shaping that system, Mr..
FOgg was appointed, with Judges
Mckinney and Wright, railroad com
m%issioners, to sell the delinquent rail.
roads in 1912. He was one of the
most finished scholars in the south.
and had ranked among the ablest mer
Of the Tennessee bar for the past fifty
years.
Mr.. Fogg never sought public sta.
ton. Had he desired he could have
filled any of the judicial positions in
the state, from the highest, down; but
preferring to practice at the bar, he
declined all of them. When he held
Office of any sort, it was more for the
public advantage than private ends.
He was a man Of great elevation and
purity of character, coupled with the
gentlest of manners. The kindnes,
of his nature was displayed conspicu.
ously in his sympathy for and aid O.
the younger members Of the profes.
sion. His remains will be inferred al

ACELBs TIAL PRINCE.

His majesty, the first king Of Siam
lfer there are two kings is named
Chutahlongkorn. This at least is the
name which he attaches to the royal
signet. dis name, as written in the
hooks of his palace, is Phrabat Som
detch Phra Paramendo Mahah Chu-
tahlonG,korn K.low. He is a spare
young man, active and nervous in his
movements, with q full, clear, almost
coal black eve. Everything about
him betokens a high and quick intel
llgenee, and gives a foreigner the idea
Of a resolute and able man, iull of
resources and quite equal to the cares
Of his station. From him comes all
power in the state. He commands
the army, the navy, the treasury, and
can dispose as he pl eases of the lives
and property of his subjects. He ad-
ministers the gov ernment by the
advice of a councilo of ministers, at the
head OF whom is the regent. He
has a sort Of rival in the per-
son of the second king. who is
entitled to royal honors and
lives in a pL.cc, with troops, a court,
a harem and a foreign minister. At
the same II me, as the supreme kiDg
happens t. be a celesti9l prince aud
the second king is only one Of Ordina-
ny tissue, no well conducted Siamese
would hesitate in choosing the object
OF his allegiance. There is also a
third iing in Siam, who is ordinarily
called by the title Of British consul
general, and who, though neither a
celestial prince nor even of ordinary
tissue, is generally more highly con-
sidered than either of the other kings.
As for the regent who held power
during King Chutahlongkorn's mi
nority he is a short, thick set old gen
tleman, more than seventy years old,
who goes about with a bevy of girl at
tendants aud smokes a short Chinese
pipe while he devises schemes for ex-
tending the limits aud improving the
civilization Of his country. 1t is at the
regents instance that the supreme
king is making his present tour, and
proposes to introduce the customs of
Europe and America into the land of
the lotos flower and the bird of para
disc.

The latest English precedent should
warn %shopkeepers against taking too
much for granted when a woman buys
a bill Of goods and asks to have them
charged to her husband. Debenham
4 Freebody sold to Mrs. Mellor. the
wife OF the manager of a Bradford
kotel, some dresses, which were ad-
mitted to be such as were reasonably
necessary and proper for her in her
station of life. But the husband had
made an allowance to his wife and had
expressly forbidden her to buy on
credit. The linen diapers, being un-
aware of his prohibition, trusted Mrs.
Mellor and sued the husband for the
amount, %contending that they should
have had reasonable notice Of the
withdrawal of the husbands authority.
and that in the absence of such notice
they are at liberty to presume
that she did not pledge his credit
without his permission. The coun
sci for the other side admit.
ted that this was a fair prima facie
presumption in the case Of a wife buy
ing dresses and living with her hus-
band, but that his express command
set aside that presumption. and that
the tradesman must suffer for having
in ignorance of the fact given credit
to one who was practically an unar :
thorized person. In the lower court,
Justice Bowen told the Jury thai
where a husband and wife are living
amicably together, the goods supplied
being reasonable goods, prima facie
she would have authority to pledge
his credit; but If, in fact, it turns out
that the husband has withdrawn it.
then the prima facie presumption is
rebutted; and, further, it was not
necessary that the tradesman should
know that the wife had been forbid
den to pledge her husbands credit.
if she had been so forbidden in fact
The jury accordingly found for the
husband. From this decision Messrs.
Debenham and Freebody appealed,
but the question has now been finally
decided against them by an appellate
court.
