AN IMPORTANT DECISION
Photographers May Not Sell the Pic
lures of Their Patrons,

photographers ought not give
away or sell photographs of their
patrons without the permission OF the
latter" said the supreme court OF
Minnesota in the celebrated case OF
Mrs. L. L. Moore agains Photographer
A. b. Rugg of Minneapolis. This case
is one of especial Importance, as it
fixes the law of the state and probably
of the entire nation on that point, it
being the first case of the kind ever
tried in this country.
Mrs. Moore, who is a very hand
some woman, it is said, had Mr.. Rugg
make some photographs for her in
1887. A year ago one Clark, u de-
tectiye in the employ OF local detec-
tive agensy in Minneapolis. was hired
to watch Mrs. Moore for the purpose
of securing evidence in case after
wards tried In the Mill city. The de-
tective went to Mr.. Rugg and secured
a photograph of Mrs. Moore, which
the complainant alleges he was &C
customed to exhibit in various places
throughout the city. This was brought
TO the attention OF Mrs. Moore, and
suit was forthwith commenced against
Mr.. Rugg by her attorneys. The
whole point in the decision is embodied
in one sentence Of the syllabus, which
says: There is an implied contract
between tho photographer and his
customer that the negative shall only
be used Tor the printing OF such por-
traits as the customer may order or
authorize

ORIGINAL PACKAGES.
Majority Report on the House Sub.
stitute.

Representative Adams, OF Illinois,
July LIST submitted the minority re-
port, dissenting from the views of the
majority OF the committee on judic-
larry upon the bill intended as sub
stitute for the senate "original pack
age BILL" 1t believed the substitute,
IL enacted, will reverse the wise ma
tional policy OF uniform regulation of
foreign and interstate commerce to
the legislatures OF the several states,
is to defeat the main purpose of its
creation. This is a vice Of the SEN
ate bill. 1t is ten.fold vice OF the
substitute. 1t tends to undo the most
impor ant work that was done when
the union was formed. Congress
ought not to delegate the discharge
OF this duty to any state legislature
whatever. Adams says that few out
side OF the prohibitions deny that the
sale OF intoxicating liquors at retail
ought to be regulated by the state
laws or municipal ordinances. II This
evil has arisen, the remedy is simple
and easy OF application. Congress
can define the original package in
which intoxicating liquors can be i'm

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Four Children Killed and Three
Injured.

A key containing fifty pounds OF
powder exploded in August Smiths
grocery store at Industry, Pa, on the
5th. injuring seven children, four
fatally. The explosion was caused by
sparks from firecracker igniting the
powder. The store was resort for
children, and at the time of the ex-
plosion large number were present
firing crackers. The powder exploded
with a terrific force, lifting the build
ing, which was two-story structure,
from its foundations and wrecking il
completely. August Smith. Jr., aged
II, was burned to a crisp. John Bran
ner, aged 10, and George Kohler, aged
6, were fatally injured. Three others
were badly burned, but will recover.
Several kegs of powder were stored

Judge Kavanagh of the district
court at Des Moines has rendered n
decision that aliens connot inherit
real estates in Iowa. He said: "The
alien has no right in reality save
what is specially given him by the
law. The courts have no more au-
thority to enlarge by Implication or
construction such a grant, than they
have to enlarge the terms OF private
deed of conveyance. There is no
sound reason for distinction be-
tween purchaser and an heir is met by
ready answer that the legislature has
created distinction and it is not for
the courts to inquire into the wisdom
Of legislative action. Therefore it
seemed to me clear that an alien can
acquire by inheritance no right or in
terest to real estate in Iowa"

BRAVERY OF. A BEAUTY.
A Lady Teiegrapher Holds n Bur.
glar at Bay With "A Revolver.

Miss Ida Wakely, the handsome
young night telegraph operator at
Swanville, Pa, on The Nickle Plate
railroad, Is the heroine OF a terribly
thrilling encounter. Before Miss
Wakely took the position at the little
out-of-thc-way station she realized the
dangers to which she would be ex-
posed from tramps who follow the
road from east TO west, so she had
not only armed herself, but practiced
until she became an expert with the
revolver. Shortly after midnight, at
an hour when there were only few
trains, the young woman heard some
one nj the door, and second later
villianous face appeared at the win
dow. The fellow demanded admit
lance and was refused, whereupon he
threw n lump OF coal through the win
dow and then made dash for the
opening. just then Miss Wakely
flashed her revolver and ordered the
intruder to retreat. He stopped to
parley, saying, You wouldn't shoot.
The brave young woman took deliber-
ate aim, but the tramp drew knife
While Miss Wakely held at bay the
desperate with her revolver in one
hand, she used the other hand TO call
the next station, where u tram was
sidetracked, and to her JOY she caught
the operator, whom she informed OF
her dilemma. The engine was de-
tached and with the crew aboard ran
to the handsome young woman's res.
cue. While the crew were coming to
the young woman's relief the burglar
tried to induce her to hand over the
contents of the safe and made blood
curdlins threats, but when the engine
with the crew turned sharp curve
he ran away in time to escape lynch
ing. The night Of terror was too
much for Miss Wakely, and when re-
lieved by tho day operator she faint

HALF-STARVED.
Two Hundred and Fifty Italians
Wanted TO Land.

After ten days detention at Missis-
sipp! quarantine station the steamship
Professor Morse arrived at New Or
leans with $50 half-starved and sick
laborers, mostly Italians, who had
been working on the Oleri plantation
in Honduras since April last with but
little food and inadequate shelter. DIR.
Oliphant, president OF the board Of
health, with doctors Genarowsk and
Barkman, two experts, boarded the
Morse and made close examination
of passengers and crew and made II
report to the board OF health as TO the
condition oil the men. The report
says; We learn from n statement OF
Dr. Otto, who came aboard the vessel
June 10Th that he found l63 passengers
sick out OF 262, exclusive OF n crew OF
26. The passengers were suffering
from dropsy, dysentery and bilious
fevers. The crew were all well. When
the doctor took charge OF these peo-
pie a death had occurred at Utilla on
board the steamship Oleri from whence
the passengers were transferred 10 the
Professor Morse. Four deaths oc-
Cured ut Lasaretto OF the Quarantine
station of dysentery and two OF ma
larial fever. At the time OF landing
a death occurred, undoubtedly also a
case OF malarial fever. The report
says there are three :ases of malarial
fever of severe type on board yet.

THE MINE HORROR.
The End Has Come and no Doubt
That all the Miners are Dead.

Tho latest report from the mine
disaster at Dunbar, Pa, is dated july
LIST and says Atll o'clock last night
the drill struck into an entry and the
air was found to be pure. The res
curers dug through into well ON the
Farm Hill mine at $3.50 this morning.
but before they had gone far fire and
black dumps were encountered and
the men quietly made their way out
OF the dangerous pit. The fans wore
then started and at nine o'clock this
morning nine select men started in
search Tor the entombed men. Tho
exploring party was driven back by
smoke after advancing ten feet into
the Farm Hill mine this morning. An
other attempt will be made this after
noon. 1t is thought hardly possibly
that the entombed miners can be
alive, 1t is certain now that the
Farm Hill mine is full and has been
full of smoke and deadly fire ddmps
There seems to be no doubt that the
entombed miners are all dead, and IL
Is now "a question'whether their bodies
can be recovered. At o'clock this
afternoon preparations were made for
another decent into the mine, A car
load OF collins arrived this morning.
Fifteen and one. halt days have
elapsed since the fash OF gus set fire
TO the Farm Hill mine. Hope and
work were abandoned this evening
July LIST, at 6 O'CLOCK, and the dust or
ashes OF 81 imprisoned men may rest
benca h the Dunbar hill until the last
day shall come. This is because the
men could work no more. After be-
ing driven from the mine by smoke
and black damp twenty-one brave
men resolved 10 make one more at
tempt to rescue their comrades, and
at 2 o'clock they again entered the
burning pit. Three OF the party re-
turned TO within a few hundred yards
of the burning subterranean fire and
satisfied themselves the men were
dead and further search was useless.
The stencil of burning human flesh
sickened them, but they visited nine
places where men were known TO have
been at work. Two dinner pals were
found, with the dinners untouched,
and two coats. The picks and shovels
were all lying just rs II man would
leave them rs he started on the run
for his life. Otherwise no trace of
the men could be found. While pros
ecuting the search further the res
curers ran into a dense cloud Of black
damp which put out their lights. A
struggle for life thon followed, but
they succeeded in getting back to the
rest OF the party. After sad con
sutation it WAS decided to abandon
the search and the company will now
make an effort to extinguish the fire
and save some OF their property.

FIvE-YEAR-OLD FIREBUG
Many indianapolis Blazes started
by'a Juvenile.

The spectacle OF five-year-old boy
being tried as AN incendiary was wit.
messed in the mayors court at India
napolfs recently. For two or three
weeks the police have boon puzzled
by incendiary fires in the southern
part OF the city. Antioch church was
mysteriously fired and n little girl in
the vicinity said that she saw Johnny
Hampton running away from the
structure just MS the blaze burst out.
Investigation satisfied the police that
the lad was the. troublesome firebug
and he was arrested and brought to
the mayors court on warrant charg-
ing him with the crime. just before
the trial he confessed to setting the
church on fire, and said that he had
also fired the Excelsior works, and
Tricks livery stable, both OF which
were burned n short time ago, and
several stables in the ncighborhood.
The only reason he gave for thus
destroying the property was that he
wanted TO see the fire department
horses rum The mayor held him
over TO the criminal court.
