Opinion Of Tie Court bv PRESTON j.

BEFORE JUDD, c. J., M'cUILT, PRESTON, BECKER
TON AND DOLE, IA.
Opinion Of the Court BIZ PRESTON J.
This is an action for Criminal Con
versation and was tried at the last
October Term, before Mr. Justice
Bickerton and Hawaiian Jury, when
a verdict was returned for the plain
tiff with $1I2.50 damages.
The complaint alleges the adultery
to have been committed in or about
the month of January, 1886, and a
second count alleges that the defend
ant on the I'd day of March, 1886,
enticed the plaintiffs wife from her
home and that she has ever since
detained and harbored her and lived
IN adultery with her"
The complaint was filed on the 18th
July, 1887
The plaintiff called one Kiakahe,
who proved an act of adultery be-
tween the defendant and the plain
tif7s wife on the Goth day of April,
1856.
The defendant objected to the
admission of this evidence on the
ground that it was not admissible
under the pleadings
The Court overruled the objection
and Counsel for the defendant ex-
cepted, but abandoned the exception
at the argument before us.
Counsel for the defendant moved
the Court to grant him continuance
for one week, to enable him to procure
witnesses by whom the defendant
could disprove the said specific act,
on the ground that said witnesses all
resided on the Island of AGolokai, that
defendant had been prosecuted for
said alleged act of adultery and after
a trial on the merits discharged,
and the plaintiff not having alleged
said specific act in his complaint, the
defendant could not be prepared to
contradict the attempted proof there
of.
The Court overruled the motion
and the defendant duly excepted.
By THE CoURT:-We are of opinion
that the presiding Judge was right in
everything the motion.
The complaint alleges continued
adultery from the second March,
1886, to the commencement of the suit,
and it seems to us impossible that the
defendant could have been taken by
surprise by the evidence.
The acquittal of the defendant in
the District Justices Court, was not
conclusive against the plaintiff in this
action, and the defendant should have
been prepared with evidence to rebut
the charge.
He ought to have anticipated the
course, the plaintiff would naturally
take which was clearly open to him.
The exceptions must be overruled,
and in doing so we do not wish it to
be understood that we consider the
exceptions We're properly taken to a
matter purely within the discretion
of the presiding Justice
w. o. Smith, for plaintiff; P. Neu-
mann for defendant.

Meaning Of ''ThorOnghbred."

The term thoroughbred vas origi-
nally used in England only in con-
nection with the blooded race,horse,
and is still little used in that county
in speaking Of pure,bred animals
Of other breeds. In this country it
has become corrupted by being in
discriminatory applied to all reg
istered or pedigreed stock, and Is
used synonomously with pure-bred
and mll-blood. The term through
bred should be used as a noun only
when referring to the blooded race
horse. and it is generally so recogni-
zed. To be sure ofhot being misunder'
STOOD it is usually best when re.
frrriug to the above.named kind of
horses to cali them thoroughbred
race horses. Custom in this country
makes i, entirely proper to use the
term thoroughbred spontaneously
with full-blood and pure'bred as
adiectiyes in connection with the
name of the breed. We speak 0!
thoroughbred Shorthorns meaning
lust the same as when we say full
blood or pure-bred Shorthorns,
Those who are interested in
thoroughbred race.borses and some
others still object to the word
thoroughbred as an adjective used
in connection with the name o.
other breeds, but they are in a small
minority. Generally speaking, any
one of these three terms means, il
this country, that the animalt to which
it is applied, is q pure blood of {
recognized breed.-Prair;e Flower.

A New Cotton Seed Cleaner.

At Washington, D. c., the other
day. a new machine for cleaning
cotton seed was tested lin the
presence Of a distinguished crowd"
"A lot Of ginned cotton seed had
been provided, each enclosed in it's
hull of lint just as it is usually sent
to the oil mill. 1t was run through
the cleaner and came out at the bot.
tom as clean and bright, almost, as
grains of coffee, while the lint bulls,
which are largely wasted under the
old methods Of treating the seed,
were carried into q closed bin,
where they fell in a shower of lint.
The inventor explained the machine
,ry and demonstrated its usefulness
to the planter as not only greatly
enhancing the value OF the seed,
saving from ITS to 200 pounds of lint
from every ton Of seed. The specta'
tors included a number Of well
known men. Among them were
General Rosecrans; Representative
Davidson of Alabama, Major Jones.
of Mississippi; NJ. de Routowsky, a
technical agent Of the Engineering
Department Of the Russian Govern
,ment, now in this country investiga'
ting the cotton industry; Colone'
Green, an oil mill man, and T. W
Corcoran, a cotton planter o
Arkansas. Perhaps this machine il
the one the South has been waiting
for all these years.--Dixie.

A Fact Plagters Should Know,

Ia -
Trof. Stubs stated to the Item
that a crop of peavines in its three
months growth would evaporate
from the soil at the rate Of l,00O,'
600 gallons of water from n acre
Of land. This amount of water
would form on one ucre a lake three
feet deep. The Professor was led
to investigate the subject by finding
in his analysis of soils that the
samples from the cowpea fields
were invariably dryer than those
from lands growing cane aud corn.
He says the long tap roots Of the
plant act as pumps and draw up
the moisture which is. evaporated

Enough to Make Him Blue.

met at lunch yesterday young fellow of my
acquaintance who told me with lugubrious
look that he was not so strong then as he had
been the day before, that he should be weaker
still on the following day and so on to the close
of his life was much shocked at this painful
announcement supposing, of course, that he
suffering from some incurabe organic dis
ease and that his doctor had just pronounced
sentence of death upon him The case seemed
to be particularly hard one, inasmuch as the
fellow was apparently in the very flush of health
and l had long known him as a vigorous athlete.
l was casting about in my mind for something
appropriate to say on the occasion when he re-
lieved my fears by stating the exact cause of
the trouble. You see," he said, yesterday
was my 35th birthday. and after IS all the au-
thorities agree mans bodily strength begins
to decline. So, you understand, l am on the
down track, bound to get weaker every day
until sink into the grave Isn't that enough

A ROYAL CRANK.
Victoria's Extraordinary Treatment OF
Emperor Williams Envoy.

Emperor Williams Envoy.
From the London Dispatch.
1t is high time that an end were put to
the mischievous fatuities in which the
queen has lately been indulging by way of
manifesting her dislike to the new regime
of Berlin. Her majesty is no doubt morti
fed and disappointed that her eldest
daughter should sink into the obscurity
which is the lot of royal dowagers. But it
is necessary to maintain a good under
standing between this country and Ger
many, and, therefore, the queen must not
trifie with public interests to crafty her
own caprices. Much irritation is felt in
court and official circles at Berlin in conse-
quence of the extraordinary manner in
which the special envoy who was sent to
London to formally announce the accession
of Emperor William was treated by the
English court, and the affair has created
diplomatic scandal
Gen. Won Winterfeldt, on arriving in
London, sent his aide-de-camp, Capt. Won
jacob, TO the foreign Office to ascertain
when and where he was to have an audience
with the queen. To his utter anna cement
he received message desiring that he
would go to Windsor in civil costume,
request which was not only extraordinary
and unprecedented, but, considering the
military rank of the special envoy, was
downright insulting Of course the general,
being unprepared for such an exhibition of
the queens eccentricities, had not deemed
it necessary to provide himself with
a civil dress, and both he and
Capt. jacob we're obliged to procure
the attire from a London tailor.
When the audience was at last granted,
the queen received the envoy very ungraci-
ously, spoke ten words to him and eight to
TnnD "A fl.a., t..
voys who were sent to the other European
courts were decorated in every case by the
sovereigns to which they were respectively
despatched. But Gen. Won Winterfeldt got
neither order nor any other souvenir of his
mission; nor was he properly entertained as
were the ENJOYS to Rome, st. Petersburg,
Vienna, The Hague and to all the other
courts, though this dep lorable lack of
hospitality would not surprise him, as the
miserable and scandalous oparsimy of the
wealthy English court is notorious through
out Europe.
