A REscIssloN CASE.

An Opinion by Judge Wade In q Land
Case-An Interesting Point.
Judge Wade yesterday handed down
the following opinion in the case of
Matte H. Merrill vs. F. H. Merrill:
The decision of the supreme court on
appeal, in this case is the law by which
the rights Of the parties must be deter
mined, in so far "a the merits of the
controversy were presented by the
original complaint.
The plaintiff sought to recover the
purchase money paid on contract for
the sale OF real estate, providing for for
feiture, time being the essence OF the
contract. Plaintiff failed to make the
third and subsequent payments pro-
vided for within the time; and defendant,
the vendor, gave notice of rescission.
Plaintiff made no pretense Of q tender
vr offer of performance, and yet the
supreme court decided that she was en-
titled to recover.
Tbs case made on the amended COM
plant and evidence offered in support
thereof is stronger than that made by
the complaint, which Il finally deter

american Cholera.

From the Daily Reveille. Whatcom, Wash.
"T. G. Burnett, the Democratic can
didate for sheriff, was taken violently i'll
at Clearbrook. He had all the symp-
toms of Aaiatic cholera, and for an hour
or twoit was feared he would die. They
finally gave him dose of Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy,
which revived him until q physician ar
rived" That is precisely what the
manufacturers OF that medicine recon-
mend for cholera. Send for ply ysician,
but give their medicine until the physi-
clan arrives. II cholera becomes preva-
lent in this country next summer this
preparation will be ins great demand,
because it can always be depended upon.

sued ON the Wrong Note.

A suit upon a promissory note for
$3.50 was tried before Judge Shaw yes
'terday afternoon, the parties to the suit
being Sam Hellman plaintiff and w. F.
Heathmsn defendant. The testimony
showed that after the original note was
made it was finally taken up by the de-
fendant who made another note in lieu
thereof. There was name as security
on the original note, but none on the
second. The suit brought by Mr. He'll
man was on the fret note and after the
facts were established Judge Shaw gave
judgment in favor of the defendant.

mined to be sufficient. The rescission

mined to be sufficient. The rescission
is clearly made ont.
As to the counter claim, defendant has
failed to show any damage resulting
from a breach of the contract. The
evidence is overwhelming that the
property had not deprecated at the
date of the breach.
Plaintiff is entitled to recover the
money paid, with interest from the date
OF resclssion, which was complete when
Frohlng received the notice from de-
fendant of the withdrawal of the es-
crow.
But as to the lien upon the property,
it is not 80 clear. 1t appears from the
evidence that defendant has sold the
land to some one else-presumably an
innocent purchaser. This fact is
pressed upon the attention of the court
with no attempt to show that the de-
fendant has any interest in the property
to which the lien would attach.
Findings will be prepared by plain
tiffs' counsel in accordance herewith,
and judgment will 60 for the amount
paid by plaintiffs on the contract, but
no lien upon the property will be de.
clared as prayed for.

AMERICAN AND FOREIGN
 SCHOOLS.

President Eliot, of Harvard Uni versity, has been severely criticised for some comments hs made on the public schools of this country before an educational meeting in Hartford, Conn. He said: "We are all wrong in supposing that we have the best school system in the world. There is no country in the north of Europe which has not better sys- tenn. The immigrants who come to our shores from abroad will be found to have a far better school training in what are denominated the com mon branches than the average of the rural population of this country. In democratic schools we close the gate to the scholar in all the inter- esting studies after the age of thir- teen."
 One of the men displeased with these statements is Commissioner ot Education Strauss, of New York city. He pronounced President Eliot's utterances as not only tex traordinary, but preposterous." He claims that "the average of our school children between 8 and 12 years old are better. brighter, often know more and learn with greater facility, than the German children of the same age, whose school sys- tenn is the best in Europe. Even in music our boys are away ahead of the foreigners. The pupils in Flu rope are given the merest idea of arithmetic and such branches, while they are filled with knowledge of the ancient languages. :" Other critics have also dissented decidedly from President Eliot's position.
 The views of the president of Harvard University may be some what radical, and they may have been stated in rather plain hammered language. But it will not do to dis miss them too curtly. It is proba- ble that they have more foundation in fact than many people suspect. The American public school system has been lauded to the skies. It has been described as the foundation stone and the chief glory of the re- public. A generation ago it proba- bly, deserved all that was said of it. It was then far ahead of any European school system, with the possible exception of the German. But within the past thirty years it is a question whether the public school system of this country has kept step with the advance of the people in other respects. Philadelphia Press.

f,bureh pi,lars in n snap.

A good thing has just leaked out concerning a church fair held in Utica not very long ago When the booths were being put in posi- ton two men had disagreement as to what position in the hall a cer- tain booth should occnpy. It was a small matter, of course, but each disputant was sure he was right. There was war of words, and one invited the other outside to settle the difficulty. Those who witnessed the settlement said that it was unique and amusing.
