A Newspapers Rights.

In this state q short time ago several
subscribers were sent to Jail for refusing
paper on which they owed Here are
some Of the facts as to newspapers
rights under the law boiled down:
"A postmaster is required to give no.
tice by letter-returniDg a paper does not
answer the law-when a subscriber does
not take his paper from the Office, and
state the reason for its not being taken,
and neglect to do so makes post
master responsible to the publisher for
the payment. Any person who takes a
paper from the postofhce. whether di>
rected to his name or another, or wheth-
or he has subscribed or not is RESPONSE
BILE for the pay. II person orders
his paper discontinued, he must pay all
arrearages. or the publishers may con>
tinue to send 1t until payment is made,
and collect the whole amount. whether il
be taken from the office or not. There
can be no discontinuance until the pay
ment Is made. II the subscriber orders
his paper stopped at certain town. and
the publisher continues TO send it. the
subscriber Is bound to pay for il il he
takes IL out of the Office. The law pro-
ceeds on the ground that man must paw
for what he uses. The courts have de.
cided that refusing to take newspapers
and periodicals from the postoffice, or re-
moving and leaving them uncalled for. Is
prima facia evidence of intentional
fraud

MRS. HUGHES HALLET. tue family roof to
De friends and nothing more, as Mrs Hughes
Hallet now explains. The power OF attor-
ney was revoked, although to appease nu-
merous creditors for parliamentary expenses
and old army and family debts the private
fortune of the wife was brought SO low that
she was compelled to meet the engai ements
by installments, the amount being about
81 600 each year.
Mrs. Hughes Hallet now seeks leg al sepa-
ration from her husband on account of the
Selwyn affair. In an interview with a cable
correspondent she says: 1T has car sed me
endless modification and the most poignant
heartaches. 1t is the elimination Of long
experience OF infamies that no woman can
tolerate indefinitely" The aggravution in
the Selwyn case was the greater because of
the close family relations of the delinquents.
Miss Selwyn called Col. Hughe Hallet
father, and he spoke of her as his child The
assignation at Ellingham Hall was procured
on the colonels representation that he de-
sired to meet Miss Selwyn for the purpose
OF having her appointed guardian OF his two
children by the marriage with Miss selwyn's
mother. The interview, as was disclosed
later, was for an entirely different purpose,
and the laiason was proved to have Jeen an

prominent sites in New York are repre-
sented In the set pieces. Miss Katie En-.
nett as Willie Rufus, interprets all the
salient points of a boot black, even TO the

mesnor. Some very funny lines fall to
her role. especially in the third act. where
she keeps the audience in constant
laughter by her sharp answers to the
lawyers who apply the cross examination
