it would please me for Jeremiah to

Sister Thomas in his arms and kiss
her.
"Why, Sally Ann, says Jeremiah,
and he hung back like a bashful

s'Go ahead, old man." called out
two or three boys that were peeping
through window. "You kissed her
several times on the road home from

.sIt's an abominable he," she
screamed, "he never promised to

him, if he had"
Then she turned to Jeremiah, and
says she, "Why don't you speak, you
old idiot, and tell her she lies?"
II can't do that, Sister Thomas,
saws Jeremiah. "You know thai

ANARCHISTIC THEORIEs
The Knights Petitions.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The headquar-
tiers of the national legislative committee of
the Knights of Labor in this city is being
flooded with petitions from local assemblies
to be presented to congress, bringing action
upon the measures named in the recent list
submitted by the national committee. The
petitions received to-day bore about SO, 900
signatures in the aggregate. The petitions
are alike in form. having been printed and
distributed to the local assemblies for
signatures, but many of them are accom-
panied by letters of the most vigorous
sort. Ralph Beaumont. chairman of the
legislative committee declares it to be the
pupose of the Knights to test the sense of
congress on the measures named and find
out whether the politicians mean to pass
measures for the relief of the people and
whether the right of petition is to be
respected. Mr.. Beaumont expects to pre-
sent congress within a few days similar
petitions bearing at least 1000, 600 sig
natures. The papers from some of the
western states are said by the local assem-
blies forwarding them to bear the names of
entire communities, not alone those of
Knights of Labor.

BLAINE,S BOOK.
A Suit Regarding Its Sale Brings
Out a Copyright Decision.


MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 3.-Judge Ham
warded to be filed his opinion involving the
copyright of James G. Blaine's Twenty
Years in Congress" The case was argued
before Judge Hammond while holding
court for Judge Sage in Ohio, and is said to
go further than any previous decision in
the protection of the authors property I'M
books. The Lii Publishing company sell
Blaines book only by subscription, and has
done everything possible to keep it away
from the general trade, but an agent to
whom they sent copies for de-
livery sold the books to a dealer
and pocketed the money. Some copies
OF this purchase were procured by the Ohio.
merchant without notice of the fraud, and
Judge Hammond enjoins him from selling
them, holding it piracy" on the copyright
to sell without the authors consent sur
repttiously obtained copies of the genuine
print, as much as it is to sell unlawfultyf
printed copies. The opinion holds that it
is the duty OF the proposed dealer, when he.
knows the book is sold only by subscrip-.
ton. to make inquiry as to the authority of
anyone offering to sell it in any other mode.
and failure to make inquiry is equivalent
to notice of any fraud. The act of congress.
is held to have conferred on the author a
monopoly Of sale. which is itself a property
incident, and that one is entitled to be pro-
tected in the exclusive use of that which is
exclusively his. The following quotation
from the opinion will explain its scope of
argument.

kinds nor hedge it about with divinity of

Large Sale of Water Bonds Success.

MILWAUKEE, July 3.-The commits
sioner of the public debt and city comp
troller of this city negotiated the sale of a
quarter million of bonds issued for the ex-
tension of the waterworks system of Mil
waukee. Under the law by which these
bonds were issued five per cent of the en-
tire issue are to be called each year, the
particular bonds to be called to be decided
by lot. This makes the bonds not so de-
sirable to be held in the small lots, but
choice investment when held in one block,
and this feature also precluded the posi-
bility of their being handled by any but
large dealer. The leading bond houses of
the country were represented in the bid
ding, but as usual N. W. Harris & Co.,
the investment bankers of Chicago, were
the successful bidders, the price they paid
for the $3.50, 600. which was the whole
issue. being fraction over four and a
quarter per cent. premium.
