THE LIVINGSTON CASE.
An Interesting Decision by n Ne
vada Supreme Court.


The case of the Livingston Brothers,
money lenders of San Francisco and
Frankfort-on- the Main, against the State
of Nevada, for a sun Of money amounting,
interest and all, to about 500, 900, was re-
Gently decided by the Supreme Court in
favor Of the State. The case had been
taken up on appeal by the plaintiffs from
the District Court of Ormsby county.
The Carson Index reviews the case as fol-
lows:
1t is a suit which grew out of the pur-
chase by the State from the holders of the
Territorial bonds, under. the Act of 1879.
Those bonds were bearing interest at the
rate of 81 per cent per annum, payable
~semi-annually, and they had about eight
years to. run The law provides that they
should be purchased by the State, if it
could be done at such a rate as to guar
antee the purchase, i. e., the State, AZ per
cent a year on the amount paid during the
life OF the bonds so purchased. While
negotiations were pending between the
Commissioners for the State and the
holders of the bonds, the Livingston
Brothers of San Francisco, the question
arose as to the proper method of COM
putting the interest.
The Livingstons claimed that it should
be computed ~semi-annually, added to the
principal, and then discounted semi-annu-
ally; while the Commissioner took the
view that the interests should be computed
for the whole eight years, added to the
principal, and the aggregate sum dis
counted at the rate specified.
The Commissioners were unyielding, and
the ~Livingstons surrendered the bonds, al
though not satisfied with the mode of COM
putation. The difference was about S16,-
900, for which sum they brought suit in the
District Court of Ormsby county.
The decision of Judge Edwards was in
favor of the State, he holding that the
~semi-annual computation involved the
compromising Of interests, which is con-
trary to the general law of the State, and
not contemplated by the particular act un-
der which the purchase was made. That
as the State paid the entire amount, minus
the discount, at once, the fact that the in
terest IN the bonds was payable semi-an-
nually was wholly immsterisl. The Su-
preme Court takes the anne view and sus-
tains the decision.

The Dude Defined.

Recently a San Francisco man sued q
paper for libel because it called him a dude.
One OF the witnesses described a dude as
follows, under oath:
my idea of a dude is a man who tries
to Guido the fashion of the day in the way
Of dress, and make himself ridiculous and
conspicuous On street corners by leading a
little poodle by a red string; a man who
stands on a street corner with a cane in his
hand and a cigar IA inches longer than
anybody else's in his mouth, and makes
himself generally obnoxious to everybody;
a nan who wears skin-tight breeches and
sharp-pointed light shoes that don't fl
him."
Another witness held that q dude was a
man who wore corsets and kept a poodle,
