Germans are anxiously awaiting the
final verdict in a very peculiar case
which recently came before the German
courts. Two ladies at Wesel. it seems,
made n complaint before magistrate
some time ago that one of their neigh
bors was the owner of a rooster whose
loud growing disturbed their slumbers
every night. The magistrate decided
that the noise was disorderly, and fined
the owner of the rooster, ''because he
did not prevent the animal from crow
ing at night" An appeal from this de-
cision was taken to the higher courts,
but without success. Now, it appears,
the owner of the Objectionable rooster
has appealed to the highest tribunal in
the country. He argued that the rooster
only exercises mis- natural right when
he crows, and that a rooster is n very
useful and necessary animal. "Without
ROSTERS" he explains, there would be
no hens, and if we had no hens there
would be no eggs. Since, therefore, we
cannot do without hens and eggs, we
cannot do without roosters either"
The case so far has been rather cxpen-
sive for the defendant, but he is of good
cheer and hopes to carry the day by his
logcal argument.

A PRINCIPLE INVOLVED.

The democratic judicial convention
OF this district has violated no compact
by endorsing the choice OF tho bar for
district judge. They have simply up
held the principle that was endorsed
overwhelmingly by the voters in the
judicial election three years ago. They
have declared in favor of a nou-partisan
judiciary. Any other course would
have remanded the selection of our
judges to the professional politician and
ward striker.
To insist that q candidate for the
bench must descend to the level of the
pot-house politician and spoils-hunter,
who seeks an Office for all there is
in it, would degrade our judiciary
and lower its members in the
esteem of the community. Had
the democratic convention formally
nominated Mr.. Ciarkson they would
have made him partisan candidate,
and that is precisely what the advo-
Gates of non bipartisan judiciary desire
TO avoid.
The issue between Mr.. Clarkson and
Mr.. Davis involves principle. On
the one side are ranged those who per-
sist in keeping our judiciary FREQ from
all partisan influence and obligation;
and on the other, those that insist that
every candidate from constable up shall
have a party label affixed by the party
machine.
This is the issue clearly defined
before the voters Of this district,
and while many voters will reach de-
cision as between Mr.. Clarkson and
Mr.. Davis on personal grounds, the real
issue is whether our district judges
shall hereafter be elected on party
lines. or whether we shall adhere to the
non-partisan judiciary.

A singular Will.

A singular will case WAS decided a
few days ago by the supreme court of
California. The will OF Mrs. Marga-
retha Paulhaber, who died recently,
gave to her four daughters one-fourth
of her estate while they lived with
their husbands, but provided if di-
vorced each would receive one-iifth Of
the estate. Soon after the death of the
mother one of the girls obtained di-
vorce, and then began proceedings for
for one-iifth of the estate. The other
three sisters successfully defended the
action in the superior court, which held
in effect that the mother had made a
will to induce her daughters to sepa-
rate from their husbands, which was
against good morals and the policy Of
the law. An appeal was taken 10 tho
supreme court, which tribunal has re-
versed the decision Of the court below,
holding that the mother had right to
consider that legal separation could
not be had without reason, which was
neither contrary to good morals nor the
pOlicy of the law.

Games For ALI II ,liow Eve,

The charmed number, seven, $50
called by the superstitious), rules the
evening, says the Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. So the girl who catches seven
nuts or any larger number, which is u
multiple of seven, is considered most
fortunate. The one who secures the
largest number of ALL (if it can be di
vidcd evenly by scven) is declared the
fairy godmothor aud she becomes arbi-
tress of the "Shake."
Seven baskets are brought, into which
the nuts which have fallen upon the
blankets are gathered.
Double nuts are said to signify an
carly wedding; clusters of three II leg
acy; four indicate great wealth: five, a
voyage across the sea: six, fame as a
public speaker; seven, the possession of
the gift most desired by the finder.
The fires are now, probably, sulf-
ciently advanced so that the roasting of
nuts, apples and late planted corn, may
begin. So with long pointed sticks,
some spear the corn and apples, while
others bury nuts and apples in the hot
ashes. Still others name the nuts and
lay them upon n shovel above the red
hot Goals, watching with deepest inter-
est what their behavior while roasting,
may predict.
If the nuts roast quietly, it foretells
long and true friendships. Ii they fly
about snappishly, a quarrel is prophe
sled. If one or more bursts, loss of
money is to be expected. Those that
keep moving are unstable, and such as
fly off the shovel will remain single still
another year.
The same mystical interest and mean
ing must enter into the apple roasting.
Apples are named, likewise, for each
person present, after which the apples
must be turned seven times about on
palm of the hand before being consigned
to the ashes. If an apple cooks evenly
TO the core without scOrcbing, and the
seeds number seven or four
teen, or possibly, twenty-one, great
good fortune may be expected.
Ii the core proves hard or worm
eaten, and less than seven seeds may be
counted, bad fortune is anticipated If
the apple bursts its skin and flies in
pieces, it indicates great wealth; if it
fails to cook at all, there is little hope
of a wedding ring during the year.
Again, the corn roasting must go on
under the mysterious influence of the
fairy folk. The uuhusked ears are
placed by sevens In baskets. Each per-
son chooses one. If the kernels are full
and run in straight lines the full length
OF the car, prosperous year is her.
aided: if the lines run uneyenly and the
kernels are not found in full numbers
and well filed out. bad fortune is at
hand. If the kernels. however, numbe

evil OmenS NAV be overcome.

ALMOST OVER THE FALLS.
A Girls Fooi-iiardy Feat Nearly
Costs Her uor utr,

One OF the most narrow escapes from
being swept over Niagara falls that has
happened occurred yesterday afternoon
says q Lockport, n. Y, dispatch. Miss
May Fellows is charming society lady,
daughter of cX-Deputy Collector Of Gus
toms s. A. Fellows, OF Suspension
Bridge, and is we'll known all over this
part of the state for her beauty. Yes
terday she had party of friends visit
ing her from the west. They went to
see the sights ut the falls and
visited the Three Sisters islands. They
came to we'll known spot where the
water rushes between the shore and a
large rock at lightning speed, sweeping
down over the falls only short distance
below. Miss Follows, full of gaiety and
spirits, said: "Watch me jump to that
rock" Suiting the action TO the word,
she made the leap, but her feet slipped,
and before she knew 1t she was in tho
water. Save mel" sho cried; MY God,
save me!N and she olutched desperately
ut tho rock. A young man and young
lady OF the party jumped down, and ut
the same time grabbed her by the
clothing, as her hold on the rock was
slipping. She was pulled out dripping
wet, saved from the awful Jaws OF the
cataract. When she was placed on the
rock Miss Follows tainted, but quickly
recovered and was conveyed home.
When speaking about her escape after
ward she said she had jumgcd from tho
shore to that rock many times. The
place where the accident occurred is
quite historical, as several suicides
have jumped in there. Once little
girl leaped from the arms of young
man, her companion, into the water,
who jumped in after her, both being
drowned,

THE consolidation of the rival street
car companies BODIES no good for the
city. 1t simply means cessation Of
all extensions and improvements and a
return to the Indifferent service which
made the horse car company a mill
stone on the neck of the city's progress.
Protestations of great benefits to the
public to result from consolidation are
useless in the light OF experience.
When the original company absorbed
the cable lines We were promised great
improvements in the service. The lat
. ter lines were to be extended south aud
west to the park, and spasmodic pledges
were given that Farnam and other
important thoroughfares would soon ex-
rience change from mule power 10
rapid transit. But the company soon
forgot its promises and not move was
made to give the people the facilities
which the growth of the city demanded
until the motor company forced the
drones to action. With all opposition
wiped out, the mammoth consolidation
will fall back into its old rut OF inactiv-
ity and snail pace.

slight figure trembling with frenzy
When she had driven the last person
from the church she cried out, "Now /

was in religious ecstacy, and was
looking for the devil, whose throat she
had undertaken to cut. 1t was fur

signed cutting them open to get at him.

RAD FOR M1HONE.

The most serious thing that has hap
pencd to the cause of Malone in Vir-
giuia is the desertion of John M.
Laugston, the colored leader IN that
state. Mahone's defeat was pretty GER
tain before the detection of Langston,
but it is now absolutely assured. A
very considerable body of white re-
publicans had already abandoned him,
but he hoped to overcome this loss by
holding the colored vote in line. This
he will now be unable to do. Lang
ston has the respect and confidence
of his race in Virginia to a
greater extent than any other man
among them. lie is a man Of scholarly
attainments, leader of force and
ability, and his loyalty TO the interests
and welfare OF his race has mover been
questioned. In his desertion OF Ma
hone he will undoubtedly carry with
him thousands of the colored voters of
Virginia.
This action of Eangston appears to be
another proof Of Malone sinsincerity in
politics. After peace had been brought
of republicans in Virginia Malone sue
cessfully sought an alliance with Lang
ston with a view to consolidating the
colored vote in his support. The col
ored leader entered upon the duty as
signed him with his usual zeal. In de-
fense of his desertion he charges that
Malone wants to throw him out OF the
party because he is a negro, and in
evidence of tins states that Ma
hone is disinclined to give him
any aid in his contest for the
seat in the next congress to winch
he claims TO have been elected. He
has gone to Ohio to render what service
he may to the republican cause in that
state.
II is more than probable that Lang
ston's charges have substantial found
alton. Malone has professed great
deal of concern for the political inter
ests of the negro voters Of Virginia, but
his real solicitude is wholly selfish. His
efforts to unity and harmonize the
republicans of Virginia have had
reference solely TO his per-
sonal advantage, and IL il
this well-understood fact thai
has driven away from him thousands Of
