of Monday: t'Emma Bremert, q
Young woman who landed from the
steamship Augusta Victoria on Satur-
day, exchanged her photograph for
that Of Ernst Schlieff abont three years
ago, when she was living at Elbring,
West Prussia, and Ernst was lodging
at TO Rivington street. Each was
satisfied with the others picture, and
Ernst wrote recently that If Emma
would come to New York he would
marry her, provided her appearance
pleased hun as well as her picture.
She decided to risk contrasting her.
self with the photographers artistic
conception of her. EFnst appeared
at Ellis Island yesterday and greeted
Emma with a GOODNESS that showed
heriIlat the photographer had battered
her. Ernst admired her figure, bnt
thought her face lacked the charms
thai he had been led to expect By her
Pfussian photograph. So be told hel
that she didn't snit him. She cried 4
good deal al first, but finally declared
that she would stay here, II the immi
grafton authorities wonld let her, and
earn her own living"

Electricity seems destined 10 afford
lawyers of all lands an opportunity OF
showing their professional skill al
splitting hairs. In America several
legal questions have cropped up. Is
electricity dutiable ? Can it be
stolen? In France 1t was a mooted
point until short time ago whether
an electricity supply company was a
Societe Commemorate, a matter of no
little importance to investors, who in
the latter case would only be liable
for the amount Of their shares.
A Soelete Commercials, it appears,
is one which has for its principal
object "the accomplishment of acts of
commerce." such rs buying raw ma
terial and re.selling it at o profit,
manufactured or 10 its natural state.
The Edison company, of ST .EtienDe,
summoned before the Tribunal of
Commerce of that town by one of its
customers, declined to submit TO the
jurisdiction Of the court on the ground
that the supply OF electricity IRON a
central station did not constitute a
commercial act, ''the company only
sold product which II gathered from
nature, and which was res nallibus.'
The Tribunal Of Commerce, never
tbeless, declared itself competent tc
TRY the case, and on appeal its decision
was upheld; SO that in France, at ans
rate, electricity when supplied from /
central station must be deemed a man
ufactnred article. Across the Atlantic
where the manufacturing interest Il
dealt with very tepderly by the tai
gatheFer, similar decision would adj
aPpreciably 20 The profits Of centra
stations.
