 ''Got any ice-cream on draughtF'

A -~~.
 If you want to fish in Buzzard's bay you must fish according to law. One Man chester, of Rhode Island, has discovered this. He was engaged in the menhaden fishery, having license from the United States. A statute of Massachusetts pro- hibits seine fishing in Buzzard's bay, but Manchester, notwithstanding, spread his scines in the bay and was arrested and ad- judged guilty by the Supreme court of the State. He appealed to the Supreme court of the United States, which has now affirmed the judgement of the State court. Manchester contended, in his de- fense, that the jurisdiction of the State extends only to low water mark. But the Supreme court holds that Buzzard's hay is not part of the open sea, but is within the territory of Massachusetts, and that the State suc- ceeded to the jurisdiction of the British crown, which had always claimed author ity in such waters The State does not claim the right to reserve for its own citi- zens privileges not conceded to the citi- zens of other States, but Rhode Islanders may fish in the bay as freely as the people of Massachusetts, but not otherwise, and all must be subject to the regulations pre- scribed by the laws of the State.
 That settles it. Brother Manchester oi Rhode Island will not go a-fshing agair unless he knows what he is about.

A SUCCESSION TAX.

They are trying in New York to find some way to encourage the distribution of wealth. They have already collateral in- heritance tax, and bill is before the legis- lature to supplement this with tax on personal property above $5,0O0, inherited by direct heirs by will or by intestate laws, and exempting from the provisions of the collateral inheritance tax property given to such educational and charitable institu- tions as are exempt from taxation. It is proposed to tax property going to direct heirs $1 on each s1G0, and property be- queathed out of the direct line $5 on each $1OO.
 This bill has passed the senate and will probably become a law. The succession tax idea is undoubtedly gaining favor. MT. advocates. He thinks it would accelerate the distribution and dissipation of large individual fortunes in way most beneh- cial to the community. The Springfield Republican makes the following comment Whether it would do more than encourage division among the he1rs before the testa l tors death is uncertain. It is of interest anyway to note that the English ibera | leader-who is considered veritable tory in his respect for vested interests-is SC far impressed with the failure of the mora law to hold great wealth to proper re sponsibility that he sanctions the interven ton of the State to give it sharpe

sent to the asylum until cured. This is a high old scheme.

The New York World is trying to make Woman think that she doesn't dress we'll. It advises her to read about Lollia Paulina, Sabina and few more of their Roman prototypes. Paulina, for instance, is known to have had gown that cost $1,- 600, ,OOO. Pliny records the fact of seeing her at a plain citizens wedding supper covered with pearls and emeralds valued at 40, 900, ,000 sesterces, equivalent to s1,- 56O, ,000. Sabina was the fair Roman dame who never travelled without train of 500 asses so that she might not miss her daily bath in asses milk. The World would have done well not to call Woman's attention to these things. She doesn't want to think that she was outdone by these dressy women.

An Experimental Locomotive.

An ENvtrlhehthi
 The owners of what are called the Holman Caldwell patents are having fitted up in Milwaukee locomotive to be equipped with new style of running se ear, which its owners think will accom- plish great things in railroading. The new running gear consists of truck with ten wheels, three of which on each side rest upon the rails, and are sur mounted by two others, the tires of which have frictional contact with the tires of the wheels below. Then sur mounting these two wheels is the drlve wheel of the locomotive, the wheel ar engagement on each side being that of pyramid, with the drive wheel on top.
 As the lower sets of wheels are of much smaller diameter than the drive wheels which transmit motion to them it is claim ed that the ordinary speed of locomotive can be doubled by the use of this gearing. A stock company has been formed to exploit this invention, and as soon as possible trial trip is to be made. It is proposed to first run the engine now being equipped from Mime apolis to Boston. Representatives of the Holman Caldwell company have been in Milwaukee for several days looking after the construction of the trial truck and exhibiting models of the invention to railroad men.

Saved by His wife's Wit.

The Rev. Dr. Clinton Locke, the popu- lar Episcopal clergyman, of Chicago, made bad break the other day. but was helped out by the quick wit of his wife. On the day in question he saw a lady about to call whom he was anxious not to meet. So he said to his wife: "Now I'm off, my dear. I'll run up- stairs and escape till she goes away" " After about an hour he quietly tiptoed to the stair landing and listened. All was quiet below. Reassured he began to descend, and while doing so he thoughtlessly but emphatically called out over the bannister:
 Well, my dear, has that old bore gone at lasty"
 The next instant voice from below caused the cold precipitation to bedew his ministerial brow and rooted him to the spot. There came response which sounded inexpressibly sweet to him just then. It was the voice of his wife, who, with true womanly tact, replied, "Yes, darling, she went away over an hour ago, but here is our good friend, Mrs. Blank, whom I am sure you want to meetT-New York Tribune.
