The humor of the legal mind is some
times trife subtle. There is just now
to be seen in the window of a famous
secondhand book shop in the Strand

tated to let his clients perceive that he
was given to reading anything SO mis-
chievously frivolous as the philosopher
Of Ferney, or who could not resist his
own little joke. Instead, therefore, Of
lettering the volume "Voltaire," which
everybody would have understood, he
had them inscribed "Arouet's Reports" :"

rorney Generals Charges.

TRENTON, June 16,-The suits against
the coal combine railroads, brought by
the attorney general on behalf OF tho
state, came up before Chancellor Nc
Gill yesterday.
The attorney general stated that the
state was ready to proceed with the case,
and moved it, but ex-Chancellor Will
hanson, for the railroads, asked for an
adjournment of two weeks at least.
The attorney general in opposing the
motion said:
,'If the statements in the information
are true large amounts of money are be-
ing drawn from the people daily by q
combination that is in open violation Of
law and in defiance of the authority Of
the state.
"If the defendants are not ready it
would seem to be the duty of the court
to grant the preliminary injuntion asked
for until the case shall be heard"
The chancellor allowed the railroads
until June 20 to prepare an answer and
file it with the attorney general, the
case TO be argued July Z.

A Pope with the "EviI Eye"


In the early years of his papacy, when
he was adored by the Roman people,
Plus TX was driving through the streets
of Rome and CHANGED to look up to an
open window, where nurse was stand
ing with child. A few minutes after
ward the nurse let the child drop to the
pavement below and it was killed. In
stead of laying the blame to the care
lessness of the nurse 1t was laid to the
malevolent influence Of the evil eye,
and the fancy became universal among
the lower classes in Italy that the pope
had the evil eye, and it lasted until his
death. Travellers who knew of the be-
lief were often amused to see people
kneeling to receive the popes blessing,
and at the same time holding the fingers
forked to break the maleficent power of
his glance. When Plus TX gave up his
liberal theories and fell back to tho old
accustomed methods of government
there were an abundance Of liberals who
took it as proof positive that he was
possessed of an evil spirit. Chicago
