charged for having written it. The matter
complained of bears references to the al
legged questionable acts of Colonel Crosby
while governor Of Montana, and concludes
BY alleging the theft Of diamonds from a
eaXXas Lady in washhne9dR wfh denan rae eSn
from Harrison, with costs. for
alleged malicious and criminal libel.
In his affidavit accompanying the com
plant, Colonel Crosby states that the ale
cations complained OF are wholly untrue.
He quotes the retraction made by the
article and he recites his demand for per-
sOnal retractiOn from Harrison, who re-
fused that but offered a retractiOn in the
columns of the Montana Journal, the same
as the Buffalo paper rendered. In the
complaint Crosby seeks to show cause for
hatred on the part Of Harrison and these
are the words of his affidavit: "And the
plaintiff further states that while he occu-
pied and held the Office and position of
governor OF the territory of Montana he
appointed one Maj. Brady Wilkins to be
his private sec, etary: that at the same time
said Maj. Brady Wilkins was subordinate

ing as such assistant pOstmaster-genera
the defendant removed said Major Brady
Wilkins. from his position in the assay
Office of Montana, at Helena, without max
ing any charges against him. This de-
pOnent thereupOn requested the directors
of the mint to reinstate said Major Will

to the preferring against him of any
charges which might justify removal.
Major Brady Wilkins was reinstated i'll
the Office Of defendant as subordinate by
order of the director of the mint. This
plaintiffs connection with the reinstate-
ment Of Wilkins aforesaid created animos-
ity on the part of defendant
towards and against the plaintiff and this
plaintiff verify believes defendant caused
said false and malicious and libelous
words and matter to be published as afOre-

plaintiff is a letter to Crosby from one Les
lie Sulgrove. in which the letter disclaims
personal responsibility for the appearance
Of Objectionable matter in the Montana
paper, of which Sulgr0ve was at the time
editor. The latter states that against his
protest, Harrison and a lawyer, L. d. Nc

bill and it is now law. The work of Or
ganizing the force of inspectors under the
bill's provisions will now 60 on as rapidly

big four and is now receiving dressed

The Samoa Correspondent.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 16.-John P. Dun
ming, the special correspondent of the
Associated Press who wrote the thrilling
account Of the loss OF the war ships at
Apla, is young man of about % years
who has been one of the regular office
force attached to the Pacific coast agency
OF the Associated Press in San Francisco,
entering the service two years ago. He was
known to possess great co0lness and des-
crlptive powers, when he was selected to
90 to Samoa to watch the political situa-
tion there. He left San Francisco in Feb
ruary. the steamer arriving at Apia March
81. He carried letters to naval and con-
sular officers there and was under invita-
ton from Captain Schoonmaker to remain
on board the Vandalia the day before the
disaster occurred, but his duties on shore
prevented him from accepting. In speak
ing of his report the Chronicle says: ave
print his account, extended as it is, because
OF the great popular interest in the details
OF the calamity. and because it is realistic
picture of scenes of heroism and suffering
without a parallel in recent years.
One secret Of the power of this description
lies in the fact that the writer remained on
the beach in the driving storm for thirty
six hours and nearly every incident
sketched was seen with his own eyes. The
story of the fruitless attempts of the YES
sells to escape is full of pathetic features,
and we think no American can read with
out emotion the thrilling episode of the
| crews OF the Trenton and Vandalia cheer
ing each other, and the band of the Trenton
started up the 'Star Spangled Banner as
the ship swept on toward certain death.
The Alta says: "The descriptive passages
call, while the nice attention to the in
! Vulnerable details shows journalistic
faculty of the highest order. One of the
charming things about his work is the
total suppression of his own personality,
yet he brayed the storm in assisting
wrecked sailors and was thirty-six hours
exposed to rain and the fury of the ele-
ments in pursuit of news. He beat every
other news agency or individual in getting
land" The Post says: "Under the cir
cumstances, with the scudding, driving
sand, cutting like knife, his report is q
monument to the skill and perseverance
Of an American journalist" Dunning is a
native of Delaware and his father, D. l..
Dunning, was resident of Middleton,
Delaware. Before coming to the Pacific
coast he did his first newspaper work on
the Wilmington, Delaware papers. His
duced from 135 to llS pounds. His account
Of the disaster was nearly 10000 words and
was sent entire to the eastern papers of
the Associated Press. 1t was the longest
dispatch ever filed OH the Pacific coast fol
transmission east on one topic

Good Form in Lawn Tennis.

Form is the style in which the play
er moves, carries himself, and makes
the strokes. Good form, l should ex-
plain, is not grace; it is making the
stroke in such way as TO produce
the greatest sffect with the least fric-'
ton. In making stroke both feet
seldom remain on the ground, and
any violent effort will destroy the bal
ance of the body, and thus make the
stroke. more uncertain and the recov-
cry slower and more difficult. This
preservation OF the balance, to me, seems
the most important advantage of good
form, but you place yourself at such
a disadvantage in the recovery that
you must injure your chances for the
neXtstroke.
1t seems clear, then, that good form
IS worth having; that it can do no
harm and may do much good; but
how is it to be acquired3 By watch.

and body in making the different

of some player who has good style

what it consists in. But, it has of
ten been said to me, I'VE live where
there are no good PLAYERS; we see no
goou play; we nave 10 trust 10 DOCKS
for instruction, and books cannot tell
how a player looks when he makes
stroke"
All this is true, and l could think OF
no answer to it until the idea Occurred
to me that number of instantaneous
photographs of the best players might
be taken, SO that the exact position OF
the feet and hands might be decided.
a sstrong reason for photographing
the stroke is to be sure that you know
how it is made. remember well that
