Chatham, , H..

TO, or the Fall OF Rome.
If not generally known, it should be,
that The Great Barnum and Bailey
Greatest Show on Earth is the only
tented exhibition which annually
opens it's season, or appears at all, III
New York City. Each year the pat
ronage has increased and become not
only assured, but so immense that day
after day, and night after night, they
have been compelled to close the doors
of the largest arenic amphltheater In
the world upon hundreds, and not in
frequently thousands. Every news
paper in the city pronounces 1t not
only simply indescribable for lmmen-
| sity and magnificence, but true to
every promise made. Clergymen, edit
ors. teachers, scientists, artists, states
men, and the most conspicuous leaders
of thought, refinement and society,
constitute brilliant and notable part
| of our audiences; while from every Sec
tion of the country thousands OF visitors
to the great city attend the great SHOW
as one of its chief attractions, and go
to their distant homes its staunchest
friends and most delighted advertisers
What wealth of wonders and embar-
rassment of features Barnum d Bailey
have collected for exhibition in their
Greatest Show on Earth this year
The wonder is, not that they exist
but that they can crowd SO much into
their tents and show them all in one
day. Cages, steam musical chariOts
and others, wild beasts. horses in the
horse fair, trained animals, herds o
elephants, hippodrome races, three
circus companies, two menageries
aviary, 1900 performers, an army Q

that money can buy. Besides all this

THE AGED.

Youthful aspirations are gener-
ally far beyond that which pleases
or gives unlimited pleasure to the
old.
The youth of to-day is thought
less in this respect, not will-fully SO
| trnst, but entirely too careless OF
their comfort and joy. | do not
c6ndem the young, but would re-
mind them that change in their
manner would be gladly received
and applauded.
A sacrifice for their sake should
always give our yonng people
pleasure for if we live we shall all
grow old and how kindly word
or action from young ones would
please us. Can you not close
your eyes and imagine you see this
beautiful picture-an aged father
and mother seated by the cosy fire
side with wrlnkled and wan faces
wet their faces brighten at times
when thoughts Of a better land
Gomez their heads white with the
frosts of many winters, the wife
knits and the husband dozes in his
easy chair, awakes to stir the tlre
and seems to read of the past II
the embers; all the joys OF youtf
have left them. Is it not duty
and pleasant one to go and cha
: with them and brighten their las
r days? And their loving children
Join them too.
NY young friends think this owe

THE SUPERIOR COURT.
An Interesting Question Passed Upon
by Judge Robinson.

by Judge Robinson.
The attachment proceedings in the case
Of Langert VS.. Sloan and Deer was argued
yesterday before Judge Robinson on q
motion to dissolve the attachment. Lam
gert is a wholesale liquor dealer at Tacoma
and brought suit and attached the saloons
of Sloan and Deer at Tenino and that Of
Sloan at Olympia for a debt Of $500, claim
ing that they were co-partners at both
places and that they had assigned their
property with intent to defraud their cred
itors.
one, and IN passing upon the motion the
judge said:
The proofs show that one of the defsnd-
ants, who are sued as co-partners, has
transferred his co-partnership interest in
certain Tenino real and personal property
TO his partner, and these transfers are of
fered in support "of the intent to defraud',
and without discussing them in detail, I
am convinced that these facts are INSULT
cient to uphold this attachment. This
property in the hands of the co-partners
is not beyond the reach of execution
against the defendants as co partners.
The disposition Of property with intent to
delay or defraud creditors, considered in
the light OF our attachment law, must ap-
ply " properly Wnlcn would be subject to
execution when Judgment was secured and
such as will prima facie, place the same
beyond the reach Of judgment liens or the
execution OF creditors. Unless the party
places the property in condition reuuir-
ing judicial action before legal levy can
be made and the same subjected in paw
ment of debt, then in my Judgment there
has been no transfer sufficient to furnish a
basis for attachment proceedings. The
motion to discharge the attachment is
granted and an exception allowed.
