Mrs. j. r. Mckee and Mrs. Russell Har-
rison, daughter and daughter-in-law of the
president, arc now in England and enjoy

The American reader is inclined to smile
at the cablegram to the effect that our
diplomats abroad are greatly embarrassed,
as the case is unprecedented of ladies of
official rank visiting the Old World alone"
but in lands where precedent and official
etiquette are so important it is no laugh
ing matter. The ladies will visit Paris
and Berlin also, and no matter what cere-
mony is observed there is, as Abraham
Lincoln used to say, mo doubt but we
shall be able to keep house."

The Isupreme court Tuesday handed
down a decision in the much litigated
contention between Captain Braithwaite
and Messrs. Powers, Akin ct al. The
judgment of the Burleigh county court
in granting a new trial to the defendants
on the ground of newly discovered evil
dence is reversed. With this suit the
people Of this section have become prot
ty familiar, as it has been running in the
various courts for a number of years.
The controversy arose out Of some af-
freightment from Bismarck to Fort Blu
ford, and as a part of the matter the
right of possession to the steamer
Eclipse came into play. From the very
inception Of the case the captain has
been successful, but he has been Obliged
to defend his judgment from district TO
supreme court; from this tribunal to the
supreme court OF the United states. This
is, of course, a right the defendants have
under the laws and th.y have desired
that the court Of final resort should pass
upon the complex question. 1t is stated
that the decision of the state supreme
court as given yesterday will close the
legal battle and Captain Braithwaite be
declared the winner. The following syl-
labus is filed:
Affidavit held insufficient to justify the
rr1rfirr ~ n NAM krso0 ~, %h> rror,J 20
newly discovered evidence.
on such grounds af6davits must show
different result on a new trial.
The facts must be established by the
atidavits of persons who are personally
familiar with them. 1t is not Sufficient
to set forth that another will testify to
these facts or some Of them. The aft
davit OF such person showing what he
personally knows about them must be
produced unless some strong reason is
shown why this requirement. 'shonld be
dispensed with.
Applications for new trial on this
ground are looked upon with disfavor
and d;strust.
Although the trial court has large dis
cretlon IN awarding or refusing new
trials, which will not be interfered with
except in case of abuse. yet when a new
trial is granted upon a particular ground
there must be some legal evidence that
such cause for a new trial exists; and the
ground must be a legal ground for
granting a new trial.

Concerning the Indians.

The latest statistics rs to the Indians of
the United States have spoiled many fine
essays, and some tolerably good poetry.
The Indians, to use the language of an
agent. "have just about stopped dying
out" In fact, they are about as numer-
Gus as they were twenty years ago, though
some authorities maintain that this only
seems so because the count is far more &C
curate since all the wild tribes have been
located on reservations. AT any rate it is
certain that the decrease is much less than
was supposed, and probable that several OF
the superior tribes are increasing.

The teachers institute convened
promptly at 8 o'clock, the regular school
hour, with most of the members in
their places. Coming together as an
organized school, the teachers have O
caught the inspiration of their conduc-
tors and enter upon their work with en-
thusiasm.
The morning topic was "arithmetic,"
with the various methods of teaching the
four fundamental rules clearly eluci-
dated by Professor Clemmer. Mrs. Og-
den, who has quite won the hearts of the
teachers by her womanly and sympa-
thetic views of the highest duties of their
profession, resumed her instruction in
kindergarten work. and gave an instruc-
tive lesson, en]ivened by manual exer-
cises and a charming little song.
Professor Ogden then resumed his
reading lesson of the day before and
some of his pupils having sharpened
their wits upon Its difficult points the
previous evening, an interesting session
of the class was the result. Professor
Ogden is especially happy in his illus
trations of reading" and brings to the
work so much soulful earnestness that it
would be a dull class indeed that did not
catch the infection Of his enthusiasm.
The afternoon session opened with
singing Of school and patriotic songs.
Professor Clemmer started the session
with the subject of topography" TAX
ing the question of measurements he
soon had a class of interesting young
people at the blackboard, and diagrams
of many of the rural schoolhouses of the
county were soon displayed, the credit
of both the artists and the character of
the sc%hoolhouses. Professor Clemmer is
an able conductor and possesses the
happy faculty of gaining confidence and
enlisting the interest of his grown-up
school.
Mrs. Ogden followed Professor Glenn
mer with another of her instructive les
sons in the kindergarten course, with
'%'color," as the central idea, on which
subject Mrs. Isaac Hooper also advanced
some instructive thoughts. Superintend-
emit Perkins then introduced Professor
Devine, the lecturer of the institute, who
gave an eloquent half hour address on
the Subject of School Government
which fully met the expectations awak-
ened by the representatives of those who
had previously met this accomplished
speaker, after which the institute ad-

ago, for a sore shoulder. I fell down
stairs and got a terrible wrench and
bruise. For several weeks I suffered
acute pain in the shoulder joint and,
getting no relief, or only temporary,
from numerous liniments, I put on IN
Allcock's Porous Plaster; kept it on for
two or three weeks and my shoulder was
we'll. They also cured me in six weeks

NEWTON s TRIAL.

Developments,

II. d. Newton, the crippled negro
pension agent, was brought before
Squire Caldwell yesterday evening
on a warrant sworn out by Joshua
Fuller charging him with fraudulent
ly obtaining money under promise Of
securing pension.
The town was full of rumor and
sensation to the effect that hundred
cases would come up against him.
The court house was packed with
negroes, and they were nearly all
friends of Newton, who believed
that he was being prosecuted, which
turned out to be true. g. Q. Boyd
appeared as counsel for the prosecu-
ton, and Carney Lyle defended
Newton. The plaintiff Fuller was
the only witness examined. Fuller
testified that he married a widow,
who claimed that her first husband
was a Federal soldier, and he applied
to Newton to get pension for his
wife on account of her dead husband,
He had no discharge or papers show.
ing that the dead man was "a soldier
and Newton told him that he would
charge 50 90 to write and hunt W
the evidence, and if he did not find
it he would refund the money, which
he had not done. Squire Caldwell
held that Newton had a right t.
charged fee for such work and dis
missed the case. There was JOY
among the negroes

ton, that OF carrying a pistol. The
