A "Hull.less Oats, Decision.

One of the important "hull-less oats"
notes cases was decided in Kent Co.,
court on Monday. This was the case
of Meginnis VS.. johnson. The latter
gave a note of 800 in payment of ten
bushels of oats. At the same time he
received a paper in the form of con.
tract which bound the Grain and Cereal
Company of Carroll county to sell for
the said johnson twenty bushels of
oats at $40 dollars per bushel, so that
the oats and the contract were the
consideration for the note. This note
fell into the hands of Mr.. Joseph
Meginnis. of Queens Anne's who
obtained from Johnson a second note
for $50 in lieu of the original 500 note.
The court gave judgement in favor of
johnson and imposed all the costs upon
Meginnis, declaring that the whole
transaction was a fraud, and the holder
Of the note had knowledge thereof as

Why Halstead was Rejected.

In referring to the rejection of Murat
Halstead's nomination as Minister to
Germany by the Senate the Prairie
Farmer gives the following reason:
The great monopolies have vast cap.
ital. From their exorbitant profits they
can often buy legislation to accomplish
their ends, unless the people rise en-
masse and hurl from power such legis-
lators as have been bought up. We
have lately seen prominent journalist,
whose name was sent to the Senate as
minister to Germany, refused by that
body on merely personal grounds. In
years past he was the relentless enemy
Of the Standard Oil and other cap
italistic Entertainments upon the people;
did not believe in men buying their
way into the Senate of the United
States. The ostensible reason for his
rejection by the Senate was that Mr..
Halstead had called persons by name
who he had believed to have been in
the interests Of oppressive monopoly.

Amendment Meetings in Oxford

Amendment Meetings in Oxford.
A series of union temperance am
endment meetings have been decid.
ed upon by the Oxford Prohibitory
Campaign Committee in conjunction
with the Advisory Committee, to be
held in the churches of the borough.
The first meeting will he held Mon
day evening, May 6, in the United
Presbyterian Church; Wednesday
evening in Oxford Hall; Thursday
evening in the Baptist Church; Fri
day evening in the Second Presby-
terrain Church; on Monday evening,
May Is, in the First Presbyterian
Church. Further arrangements for
other meetings will be announced.
These meetings will be addressed by
good speakers and the proceedings
will be intensely interesting. A
large attendance at all the meetings
is anticipated. The meetings will be
free to the public and no collections
will be taken. The public in general
as well as the congregations of all
the different churches are cordially
invited, as it is the intention to
make the meetings Of truly union
character. A union of the choirs
will furnish music for each occasion.
Press.
How very unlike political meeting
announcements the above reads.
They more resemble notices of reli,
gio9s meetings. The other side
will hold their meetings principally
in saloons, and every one of the
saloon congregations will vote solid
for the continuation of the liquor
traffic, and large numbers who are
of the church meeting clasa will vote
with the saloon to continue the
work which they profess to so deplore
and oppose. Man is curious bun
die of contradictions any how.

held to dedicate the new building.
Speeches were made by prominent citi-

made to the chief benefactor, and TO
those who had been most active in for
warding the enterprise.
One speaker mentioned the names of
five or six of these citizens, and sug-

The Growth of Berlin.

One of the morning journals recently
published statistics showing the growth
of Berlin during the last seventeen years.
Removed as it is far from the sea coast,
and situated upon a river which is only
such in name, the rapid development of
the Prussian metropolis is one of the
marvels of the age. From 1870 to 1887
Berlin almost doubled its population,
adding CG0, 100 to its numbers, averaging
1862 each year. During the same period
the number of lots built upon grew to
G,187, or an annual increase Of G64. In
the year 1870 there were fifty-six persons
to every lot upon which a house stood.
In 1878 this had increased to sixty, in
1879 to sixty-one, in 1883 to sixty-fve,
and in 1887 to seventy-one. The density
of the population has constantly in
creased. The average rent of dwelling
in 1870 was 479 marks, which in 1887
had risen to $40 marks, or about S16O.
Berlin has over 100000 inhabitants at
the present time.-Berlin Letter.

About Color Blindness,

MIR. Hughes relates that while acting
as assistant engineer on the .Granton
railway he frequently returned on one of
the engines from Granton to Edinburgh.
On these occasions he observed that, al
though his undivided attention was di-
rected toward the signal lamps, the
lights of which were visible to him a.
long way off, he could not till he was
close upon them distinguish whether
they were red or green. These are the
two colors most commonly confused,
but happily they are visible to the ma
Jority of color blind persons when
strongly Illuminated. Railway guards.
therefore, are less liable to mistakes by
night than by day. Inability to discern
any colors, at all is very rare, and, in
fact, has never been satisfactorily proved.
A color blind person may have as good a
sight in other ways as ANYBODY else.
The defect is not occasioned by any
disease in the eye, but seems to have its
sole origin in the brain. A red green
blind person sees only two colors on the
spectrum; all the colors on the side of
the red (warm colors) are confused to-
gether and all on the side of the violet
(cold colors), but the warm and the cold
are never confused. Yellow is the one
color which is always DISTINGUISHED
1t is curious fact that color blindness
Is often associated with corresponding
inability to distinguish musical sounds.
