THE ANTI-POOL LAW.

People in Missouri NceI Not Pay FOr
Things Purchased o. Persons Combined
to Regulate frees
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 2j.-Lccal
members OF the Master Plumbers as
sociation are much wrought up over a
decision rendered by Justice Allen in a
suit brought by the Goss Heating &
Plumbing Co. to recover $50 90 on an
open account The justice gave a de-
cision in favor of the defendant hold
ing that under the anti-pOol law OF
1889, as amended last April, the plain
tiff could not recover. The justice
based his decision on section 1928 OF
the Missouri statutes. The section
reads:
"When any purchaser of any article
or commodity from any individual,
company or corporation transacting
business contrary to any of the provis-
ions of the preceding sections of this
chapter, he shall not be liable for the
price or payment of such article or
commodity and may plead this chapter
as defense to any suit for such price
or payment"
Previous sections of the chapter pro-
vide that if any corporation or firm
shall become a party to an agreement
or understanding to regulate or fix the
price of merchandise or commodity or
to limit the amount of any article il
shall be deemed guilty of conspiracy
to defraud and BE subject to a fine of
not less than l per cent OF the capital
stock Of the corporation nor more than
20 per cent 1t is further provided that
any officer or member of such firm shall
be liable to a fine of from $500 to s., 900
and also an imprisonment not to exceed
one year.
There was considerable excitement
among the local plumbers when they
heard of the decision. The company
suing had declared while it was MEM
Der of the organization it did not pre-
tend to live up to the requirements Of
the agreement The justice decided on
this point that if the company was a
member of such an organization it was
not necessary that it should sell goods
according to the schedule adopted. The
attorneys for the defendant produced
in court a schedule of prices adopted by
the master plumbers association.
1t is held by prominent attorneys that
the law applies equally to other trades
and even to the professions. One law
yer declared that the physicians who
belonged to an organization to control
charges for medical attendance could
not collect their bills if they were con-
tested.
Justice Allen said that while there
may have been some doubt as to the
constitutionality of the original law, it
was all dissolved by the new act, ap-
proved April p 1891.

TEMPORARILY RELAXED.

Uncle Samuel Gets the Ear of the Gar
Where All Others Fail and MOrdecai May
Rejoice.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-Cablegrams
received at the state department bring
the important official information that
the czar has temporarily relaxed the
Jewish expulsion measures. They
also bring the intelligence that he has
done this in compliment to the United
States.
While the relaxation is described
as temporary and intended as a
respite until he could consult his
advisers there is no doubt that
it will lead to a permanent mod
ifcation of the expulsion. The matter
has been very delicately managed in
its diplomatic bearings. The action of
the czar in expelling Jews was a mat
ter of purely domestic concern, with
which no country had anything to do.
A diplomatic remonstrance would have
been resented, but means were found
for putting the matter before the czar.
President Harrison interested him
self personally. Some time ago a dele
cation, headed by Jesse Seligman and
Oscar Straus, ex-minister to Turkey,
waited on the president and he assured
them that his best efforts would be
used to soften the rigors of the Russian
Jews. Minister Smith succeeded in
bringing the subject to the czar's atten-
ton in presenting personal message
from President Harrison. After the
minister's departure renewed repre-
sentations were made by Consul-Gen-
eral Crawford He has represented the
United States in Russia and is a great
favorite with the Russians. His tact in
the present measure is the cause of the
willingness of the car to suspend the
anti-Jewish policy of the empire.

HER TALENT.

She does not prate OF Browning
Whose works have not read
There is no laurel crOwning
Her shapely little head
She is not versed In Schiller
And Goethe and the rest;
She has no store Of ''siller,"
As some, perchsnce, have guessed
She knows no word Of Dante
And his Italian crew;
She plays not penny ante"
As rapid msidens do.
No more she knows Of Spencer
Than OF La Rochefoucauld;
On Darwin she IS denser
Than any girl know.
With Kant and Schopenhauer
Her speech she will not load,
But fortune other power
Upon her has bestowed.
Though Mill and Huxley tire her,
AS she will frankly state,
Yet still must admire her
Her pumpkin pies are great.

.Iem Smith Reaten.

| Jem Smith and Ted Prltchard took
place last evening and Pritchard beat
Smith in three rounds. Smith showed
a strong disinclinatiOn to take punish
ment and was easily defeated. The fight
lasted only ten minutes In the first
round Smith gave Pritchard heavy
blow on the body, drove him all over
the ring and fioored him twice before
time was called. Pritchard then seemed
to be dazed. In the second round,
however, he was sprightly, while Smith
appeared to be weak. Pritchard forced
the fighting with such effect that Smith
soon showed signs of having enough.

Facts About New Years.

New England stood out long against
Christmas and New Years alike, and her
writers curious in such lore have told us
how cautiously her most daring spirits first
ventured on the innovation.
The Chinese New Year opens with some
unpleasant features. Every tradesman has
to pay all he owes or surrender his proper
~, and sometimes his liberty. After that
they have three days of riotous fun, feast
ing and gambling.
The fact that New Years falls upon the
same day or very near it among all Aryan
peoples is a strong proof of their common
origin. The most northern nations of
ancient Europe celebrated the day in com
mon with the most southern. The turn of
the sun from his most southern point in
the heavens appears to have been the cause
of this general adoption of the same holt
day season, and from the earliest times
Saxon and Roman, Teuton and Kelt,
Greek and barbarian alike have recog-
nized it as an occasion for rejoicing

The Truth About 1t.

When Uncle Sam was but boy,
One Christmas eve he hung
His stocking by the old fireplace,
And then this song he sung:
"Oh, Santa Claus! Oh, Santa Claus
Give me some potent charm.
That pretty girls, when I'm a man,
May grow upon my farm"
And that is why old Santa Claus
Today is SO admired;
Because he gave our Uncle Sam
The thing he most desired.
