CIRCUIT COURT.
a verdictfor the Salem Loan and
Trust Company.

Much Of the time OF the circuit court
yesterday was consumed in listening to
the arguments of the counsel in the
bank case. 1t only took the jury, how
ever, few minutes to bring in ver-
| dict for the Salem Loan and Trust Com
pany for the amount. of the note with
} interest.
A demurrer to the bill in tho case Of
John S. Talbot versus Mrs. Ella M.
Coombs was argued before Judge Blair.
The question whether mechanics lien
should be acknowledged was again
raised, and objection to the account on
the ground that it was not itemized.
The judge reserved his decision. Hans
brough and Hansbrough for plaintiff.
Col. Logan and w. Montgomery for de-
PENDANT.
In the case of Lewis T. Snyder VS..
Allen nj. Hoffman, Barney Pitzer and
others it was decided that the COM
plainant should take nothing by his
bill, which was dismissed at his cost.
The history of this case dates back to
1868, when L. G. Snyder conveyed zoo
acres of land, near Salem, to DR.. George
I. Terrell, in trust for the benefit Of
n,
authorizing him to sell said land and
reinvest proceeds with consent of Mrs.
Snyder. In 1874 DR.. Terrell. did
make sale of the land, subject to the APP
probation of the chancery court. by
which the sale was subsequently, con-
flrmed. l.. @. Snyder was substituted
as trustee in place of DR.. Terrell, and
he (Snyder) received the entire pur-
chase money aud by recorded deed re-
leased the lien which had been reserved
thereby for the same.
In the interval the land has passed
into the hands of divers aliens, of whom,
to the extent of some fifty-eight acres,
the defendant, Hoffman, was one, and
l.. 9. Snyder, trustee, had assigned one
| OF the original purchasers bonds to the
defendant, Pitzer, in whose favor de-
cree was entered for the payment of said
| bond, and in the event of it's non-pay-
ment within limited time, the portion
of the land that was sold by Logan
| Snyder to Mr.. Musser is directed to be
sold and proceeds applied to Pitzer's
debt Pugh & Moffat and Thomas Mil
er for plaintiff; Hansbrough & Hans.
brough and Colonel Logan for defense.
The case of John Rhodes VS.. Emily
Rhodes ct ais, to recover an interest In
his fathers farm near here, which it is
claimed he conveyed some years ago to
his brother, George T. Rhodes, after
argument was submitted. Pugh e.
Moffett for plaintiff; Col. r. Ii. Logan
| for defense.
After the conclusion of the bank case
the jury was discharged for this term,
as it is expected that chancery business
will take up the two remaining days.
Judge Blair leaves for Craig on Thurs
| day.

Blll why the bluebills had not arrived.
They're due now" he said, with wise
sort of look, "and if you stay down
here day or two longer you will get
some of them"
While he was talking I heard a sort
of rumbling noise, seemingly over
head, but as 1 looked up 1 could see
nothing but clear sky. 1t kept growing
louder, until finally my curiosity was
aroused, and I asked Bill what he
thought it was.

exception of very broad smile this is all
could get Gut of him; SO began trying
to find out for myself.

blackbirds, but as they came nearer 1

noon several more floclSs of less size

"A KNOT OF HAIR.

She has not of russell hair;
IT seems a simple thing to wear
Through years, despite OF fashions check,
The same deep coil about the neck
But there it twined
When first knew,
And learned wirh pas ion to pursue her,
And if she chan ed it, to my mind
She were a creature OF new kind.
On others she may fash the wise,
Strong light OF apprehendiEg eyes,
md make who. fronts her beauty great
With hopes that awe and stimulate,
The happy lot
Be mine to follow
These threads through lovely curve and
hollow,
And muse a lifetime how they got
Into that wild, mysterious knot.
o. first of woman who hast laid
Magnetic glory on braid!
In others tresses we may mark
If they be.silken, blonde or dark;
But thine we praise.
And dare lot eel them;
Not Hernles, god of theft, dare steal them;
1t is enough for aye to gaze
Upon their viyitying maze.

HOW THEY DINE IN JAPAN.
Singular Customs Which Prevail
Among the Far-Off Orientals.

Singular Customs Which Prevail
Among the Far-Off Orlentals.
Dining is not in Japan the serious
business it is in England or America.
The Japanese do not meet to eat, but
eat because they have met, and con-.
versation and amusements form the
principal part OF banquet. The
Table says that con Versation need
not be held only with your neighbors,
for il n man wishes to speak to a
friend in another part of the room he
quietly slips the paper panel behind
him, passes into the veranda, enters
iheroom again and sits down on the
floor before his friend. Exchanging
cups is the chief ceremony at a Japa-
nese dinner. Sake-a spirit made
from rice, resembling dry sherry-is
drunk hot out of tiny lacquer and
gold cups throughout dinner; and the
musmes, who sit on their heels in the
open space of the floor, patiently
Watch Tor every opportunity to
fill your cup with sake: When gen
tleman would exchange cups-Which
is equivalent to drinking your health
he sits down in front OF you and
begs the honor. You empty your cup
into a bowl Of water, have it filed
with sake, drink, wash it again, and
hand it to your friend; he raises it to
his forehead, bows, hasit filled and
drinks. As this ceremony has to be
gone through a great many times,
drinking is often amere pretense. Eat
ing is, however, but a small part Of
the entertainment. We must be
anu sed, and to amuse is the business
ofthe geishas, the licensed singing and
dancing girls who are attached TO
every tea house. But the singers OF a
Japanese dinner only take the part
OF the chorus in Greek play and they
sing the story, which dancing girls
represent or suggest by a series Of
gestures or postures. The dancers
are splendidly dressed, and their move
ments are so interesting, so unlike
anything seen in Europe, that we
watch them with a curious sense Of
pleasure.

THE MOON WAS FOOLED.

A Mean Little Trick Played on That
Friend Of Lovers.
s'The violet sky OF the night swung
low it's starlit arch over the sleeping
earth.
The lambert moon dashed with gold
the white road leading away under
the great trees.
There were strips OF light and shade
lying along the vista OF the overhang-
ing branches, and in and out among
these walked acouple.
A man and awoman.
He was tall and straight. She was
by his side, Of fair proportions.
They spoke no word as they walked.
and the sweet summer air moved no
faster than they, and was still
There was a twitter among the
leaves of a bird in its nest, and a low
hum, asst the voices OF the night were
whispering to the stars and the
leaves.
A cloud came up from the western
sky and laid its mantle over the face
OF the moon, and the strips of light
across the couples path Swallowed
away into darkness.
Then it was the woman spoke.
George, she said almost harshly,
where erstWhile all had been so sweet
and still.
Eyes, MARTHA" he replied in alb
straetion.
The woman spoke again.
We've got to get a, new hired girl .
she said earnestly.
81 know it, Martha" answered the
man. land for the last hall hour. I've
been wondering where the dickens we
could find one that was worth a CONT
mental Z
They were married.
And the moon do dyed behind a wad
OF watery cloud and kicked itself Sc
verely.
What Will Become Of oursBooks?
Experts are predicting that the
books Of to-day will fall to pieces be
lore the end ofhalf century. The
paper in the books that have sur
viived two or three centuries was
made by hand, OF honest rags, and
without the use OF strong chemicals,
while the ink was made of nu gals.
To-day much Of the paper for books
is made, at least in part, of wood
pulp, treated with powerful acids,
while the ink is compound Of
various substances NATURALLY at war
With the Himsy paper upon which it is
laid.
The printing Of two centuries ago
has improved with age; that OF to-day,
1T is feared, will, within fifty years,
have eaten its way through the pages
upoz which it is impressed.

HOTEL BEAT AND BIGAMIST.

He Was Arrested for Disorderly Conduct
but One Of His Many Wives Identified
Him-she viii Prosecute Him Under a
More Serious Charge Now.
NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-[SpeeiaL MAX D.
Feldman, the man who was arrested last
night ON complaint of Proprietor Hitch
cock, of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, who says
Feldman is a professional hotel beat, was
arraigned at Jefferson Market to-day and
sent to the island for three months. Despite
the fact that Feldman, or, as he was known
at the hotel, A. r. Babcock, lived at the
hotel for four days, drank the best cham
sive cigars without paying cent for any
thing, only charge of disorderly conduct
was made against him.
In one of Feldman's pockets was letter
from his wife from Adams, N. Y, signed
Edith. 1t refers to Feldman as being
afraid to return to Adams for fear of being
arrested for bigamy. Shortly after Field
man received his sentence to-day young
man went to Jefferson Market and inquired
for him. He said he was Jacob Scherick,
and that cousin of his who was visiting
him had married a man supposed to be
Feldman in Cleveland.
Miss Scherick had 81, 500 and the man
who called himself Wolfe got the money
and deserted her. Scherick had picture of
Wolfe, and. after taking look at Feldman,
declared that he was the same man. Miss
Scherick herself went to Jefferson Market
in the afternoon. Feldman was present in
line with 20 other prisoners, and Miss
Scherick without hesitation picked him out
as the man who had married her She said
she would prosecute him for bigamy.

THE IRON HALL CONDEMNED.

Insurance Men Havo No Faith In Associa-
How It Managed to Exist and Pay tho
Dividends.
NEW YORK, Aug. IL Special 1.-THE Or
der of the Iron Hall, which has come to
grief in Indianapolis, Ind.," said Secretary
G. @. Whitney. of the New York Life In
surance Company, sis not recognized in the
report of the Insurance Commissioners of
New York State. The managers give q
great deal for nothing, but they have not
operated in this State for year, and 1 do
not think that they can. The order has .
great hold on the people in the Western
country, who are anxious to get big returns
for small investment, and if they are
taken in it is their own fault Such endow-
ment organizations have no effect on the
legitimate insurance companies, because as
rule the people they take risks on would
n ot be accepted by bona-fide company"
G. P. Tucker, of the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company, said: 81 am not surprised
that the endowment concern has got into
the Indiana courts. It was q natural Sc
quence. No legitimate paying business can
be conducted successfully under such meth
DDS as are employed by those organizations.
You put in about $500 and at the end of
seven years get 81, 900. How they can afford
to pay such premiums on such little capital
is a mystery until we know that the late
comers are made to pay the premiums of
those whose term in the organization ex-
pires. The order has been in trouble in
several States, and in some it is not per-
mitted to exist. 1t was organized in Massa-
chusetts good many years ago. The state
ment of the order in Indianapolis last year
showed nearly $1,000,O00 more than the
assets as shown in court Such orders can
not exist in community where their meth
DDS are known to the people" The Iron
Hall has no Office in this city.
