A LITTLE STORY.

Two boys went out ono day TO shoot In tho
woods. They both fred at once, and between
the ,wo they killed o polccat. Then they began
to quarrel as to which Of the two had shot him.
and they asked everybody in their ncighborhood
TO observe their victim and their controversy.
Meanwhile tho dead polecat emitted such stehch
that presently ell the neighbors became SICK ana
had to wink about holding their noses. f'naiiy
one by-stander. well saturated with caroollc ac,o
got near enough to tho boys and the cat 10 make
himself heard and pleasantly told them thae Ill
though their quarrel might keep their game
,.ouId not and that the Just thing to lie done was
to hurry the polecat. And all the people who
were able to gasp said Amen
This little fable is commended to the attention
Of Mr.. Maurice Barrymore and the author OF La
Tosca'

The intention of Maurice Barrymore to apply for
an Injunction to prohibit Fanny Davenport from
performing sardous play La Tosca." on the ground
that It's principal situation has been taken from his
niece "Nadjecda" generally discussed In theat-
rcal circles yesterday. Some people were OF
opinion that such legal proceedings would be good
advertisement for Miss Davenpor's enterprise, whle
others thought the greater benefit would accrue TO
Mr. Barrymore. Edwin Price. husband and manager
of Miss Davenport, said:

case showed beyond dispute that There were
most unblushing frauds in the elcotion ond
that McDuffie was deliberately counted out and
his opponent as deliberately counted in. David
son has not shadow Of right to the seat; but
to expect the Democrats to vote in such
way as to break the solidity Of the South would
be 10 expect the impossible.
The report Of the Senate Law Committee
On the investigation of trusts sums up the facts
with which the public has SO recently been
made familiar; but beyond a series OF general
reflections upon the mischiefs growing out OF
these combinations to destroy competition. no
practical outcome is reached. There is, how
ever q promise that at an carly day bill will
be presented which will modify, If it does not
prevent the evils complained Of. Besides,
recommendation is made that the Attorney
General should bring an action to have the
charter of the Milk Exchange forfeited. The
forthcoming bill will be the real test of the
committees work. If it can frame law TO
check tho combinations dixie the Sugar Rein-
cries Company that raise the price OF tho
necessaries of life, il will do an excellent ser
vico. 1t is hardly needful TO say that this bill
will be awaited with no little concern. The
introduction of il should not be put of TO so
Iatc a date as to render its passage doubtful

The official statement OF the SIX doctors at
tending the Crown Prince will be regarded as
favorable. although not word Is said as to the
real nature of the malady. 1t will certainly
dispose of the talk that the physicians have not
been working in unison. Regarding another
point which everybody would rejoice TO get
light on-the patients chanccs-this bulletin
is hardly explicit enough to be satisfactory.
Final action on the County Option-High-
License bill was taken yesterday by the New
Jersey Senate. The bill was passed over the
Governor veto by vote Of Ii to S-ono Demo-
srat voting with the Republicans in the major
uy. Just month elapsed from the first con-
alteration of the measure until its complete
enactment Meantime action on the High
License bill in this State lags. The majority
IN tho Legislature should realize their respon-
,6iity, and realize :.x3 that they will be held
10 a strict account for their action or lnac1iO2
On this subject.
There appears to be no opposition to the
schemes to have election ballots printed and
distributed by the State. At least, none mani
tested itself at the hearing before the Assembly
Judiciary Committee yesterday on the three
bills which aim to accomplish this object. All
these bills have been criticised, and the COM
plitteo will not have an easy task In getting
into shape measure that will call forth general
approval. The reform is one Of great impor-
lance and IT has been received with marked
favor from the time it was seriously proposed.
But rare wisdom is required to frame an efleo-
siye and practicable law.
The Rev. Dr. Howard Crosby. whose twenty
Elth anniversary as Ncw-York pastor was
celebrated in his church last night. is much
more than the head Of flollrishing Presby-
acrian church. As scholar, educator. preacher
and man of affairs he belongs TO the whole city.
He is fearless and courageous in dcnoncing
wrong His efforts to make and keep the city
pure have not always been appreciated py the
politicians who derive their support from the
gin-mill. bat his society is undoubtedly doing
much TO prevent crime. which is far better than
Furnishing criminals His ancestors were fore
most in asserting their rights from England
century ago, and DR.. Crosby makes no apology
for "mcddling ia politics" when Important
issues are at stake. New-York needs more
men like DIR. Crosby. and the meeting last night
was a fitting tribute to the noble work which he
has done as professor, Chancellor pastor Bible
acviser, author, lecturer and public citizen

send on the fourth Monday in March
at IL a. III. The case was argued at
by Prosecuting Attorney j. J. Calhoun
of Jefferson county, and James Ham
ilton Lewis for the petitioners.
Mr., Lewis won the case by raising
the point that the commitment OF
Justice Van Bokkelen, placing the
men under $500 bail each, was insult
ticient. inasmuch as il simply charged
them in general way with riot, "
without stating any facts, and such a
commitment would not justify the re-
quirement of bail. Again, the COM
mitment placed the prisoners in jail
until certain time, and the question
was raised Ibid its power not cease
when the term of imprisonment as
stated expire2" The court decided so.

AMICABLY SETTLED.
The Rival street Roads Reach an
Agreement.

Agreement.
President j. N. Thompson and Judge
II. G. Strive, representing the Front
street cable road, and President L. II.
0sgood and Judge Thos. Burke, in be-
half of the Seattle Electric Motor and
Power Company, held conference
yesterday morning, and effected an
amicable settlement OF the difficulties
which gave rise to the trouble OF last
Saturday morning.
10 was agreed that the cable road
should be granted the privilege of
crossing the street railway at the cor
ners OF Front and Pine and Pike and
Second, the street road reServing the
right TO direct at what radius the turn
at each point should be made by
their road. and requiring that the
crossing of the cable road shall con-
form to these plans. To this the cable
road representatives readily acqui-
esced. Each road was allowed to con-
tinue construction at othe points in
such manner a. suited it, provided the
rights OF the other are not interfered
with. On the two blocks OF Pike and
Front streets. where the two roads par
allel. therefore. the companies will OPP
crate amicably side by side and with
all due respect for the rights of the
other.
During the day the plans for the two
frogs were drawn and were last night
forwarded to the Pacific Rolling Mills
at San Francisco, for manufacture.
They will be finished and returned TO
Seattle in the course of two or three
weeks, and vii. then be placed IN
position.
Work Of construction is now free 20
he resumed ON each road. The iron
yokes and rails were yesterday laid on
the cable line on Pike street from
Front to Second.
