Fined for Fnst Driving.

Mr.. Edward Richards a tea and coffee dealer
on Pennsylvania avenue, was fined 500 ycster
day in the police court for fast driving aud
running over an old man named Thomas W.
Simms, at the corner of Seventh street and
Pennsylvania avenue. "All persons driving
horses in this city are bound to exercise ordi-
nary care" said Judge Smell. "Thc driver must
take notice of the ordinances on the subject,
and II he does not he is guilty OF negligence.
The law Is not based upon the idea that II hurts
a horse to drive him fast but It is designed to
protect the public. In the country there is no
horses and vehicles, but in the city II becomes
absolutely necessary. Ordinary caution also
has reference 10 the time and place. What
try or suburbs would not be a moderate rate
of speed at such n place as L and Ninth streets,
or at Seventh street and Pennsylvania avenue,
the place where the alleged assault is charged
to have occurred" An appeal was noted.

Health of the cities Of China.

The popular notion that the inhabitants
Of Chinese cities are given to unwhole-
some habits does not seem TO be well
founded. DIR. Dodgeon, in recent work
ON the diet, dress, and dwellings of the
Chinese, says that the people have admir-
ingly adapted themselves to their sur
roundings, and enjoy maximum Of COM
fort. They have good many lessons
yet to teach us in respect Of living and
practical health" After an experience
of over twenty years with them, he says
that "they are subject to fewer diseases,
their diseases are more amenable to treat
ment, and they possess greater freedom
from acute and inflammatory affections
Of all kinds, il, indeed, these can be said
90 exist at all" than obtains among west
ern nations.-New York Sun.

Washington, Oct. SAN important
decision has been made by Commissioner
Sparks. involving the title to certain
valuable lands in the vicinity of New
Orleans, covered in part by the town of
Carrollton, and upon other parts by
buildings and improvements OF great
value, including the race course, the
Metairie Ridge cemetery and the she'll
road and railroad from New Orleans to
Lake Ponchartrain. This property has
been claimed and held since the middle
of the last century under o French grant
which has been surveyed and segregated
from the public domain. The adverse
claimant asserted this right by virtue
OF certain swamp and other
selections under grant, to
Louisiana. Commissioners Sparks
holds that the French grant is a COM
plete title protected by the treaty Of
1903, and not needing legislative OF
other affirmation by the United States
and that the lands, being private prop.
erty at the date of the state grants, did
not pass under these grants. The
amount involved in this decision is Sc.
