Why Apnoint . Receiver2


Mrs Clarke, in her bill attacking the
validity of the lease OF the Central 20 the
Georgia Pacific, asks that receiver be ap-
pointed TO take charge OF the Ceatrsrs prop
erty until the annual meeting Of the stock
holders next January. But II the court
should decide that the lease is invalid, does
it NECESSARILY follow that receiver should
be appointedl The Central company has a
president and board of directors who are
/ fully competent to manage the property.
And when the directors were elected it was
understood that the minority stockholders
were satisfied with them.
The lease itself provides that IL the Geor-
gia Pacific fails to comply with the terms
of the lease the Central company may take
possession Of the property without process
Of law. II the company is in a condition TO
take possession of the property and man
age it in the event Of failure OF the Geor-
gia Pacific to comply with its contract, it is
certainly competent TO do the same
thing If the lease should be declared to be
invalid. There does not appear to be any
good reason why a receiver should be ap-
pointed to manage the property if the
minority stockholders have no objection 20
the present board of directors. No one has
claimed that the Central company Is in
solvent. and, as far as known, no one intends
to do so.
The appointment Of psrmanentreceivsr
would be hurtful to the credit OF the com.
pany. because it would carry the impress
sion TO many that the company is unable to
meet its obligations. However erroneous
such an impression might be. still it would
exist, ana make 1t difficult to provide on
favorable terms for obligations which will
mature in the near future.
It is understood that the purpose OF
minority stockholders in being represented
when Mrs. Clarkss bill comes up for hear
ing on Monday next is to protest against
the appointment of a receiver. It is not
their intention to take sides for or against
the lease. They believe that the appoint
ment of permanent receiver would impair
the value of their property, and they do not
think that such an appointment is neces-
aaru

A High.born Criminal.

Fashionable society in London has seldom
had so great a sensation as that produced by
the trial and conviction OF Mrs. Osborne for
larceny and perjury. The unhappy woman
was a member OF the highest social circle,
and her connections were among the
best in England. She will
have to spend nine months in
prison at hard labor. and when she is
released she will not feel like mingling
again with the busy world. It is probable
that when the prison doors closed upon her
the world in which she moved had its last
glimpse Of her. At the end OF her imprison-
ment she will retire into obscurity. She
will feel her disgrace too keenly to want to
see again those whom she had known in her
days of prosperity.
She was the victim Of a desire for finer
clothes than she could afford, and SO she
robbed her friend, Mrs. Hargreaves. But
that was not her greatest crime. When
Mrs. Hargreaves suspected her Of the theft
of her jewels, she had Mrs: Hargreaves ar
rested for libel, and did her best to
have her punished for that ofRense.
She is deserving Of very little sympathy,
and yet she seems to have received great
deal. Had not Mrs. Hargreaves made a
strong plea for her the sentence she received
would have been much more severe. II
there is anything admirable in her character
it didn't crop out during her trial. Her
fate will be little regretted and she will
soon be forgotten.

hold it true that thoughts are things
Endowed with bodies, breath and WINGS
And that we send them forth to fill
The word with good results-or i'll.
That which we call our secret thought
Speeds to the earths remotest spot,
And leaves its blessings or its woes
Like tracks behind it as it goes.
1t is Gods law. Remember it
In your still chamber as you sit
With thoughts you would not dare have known
And yet make comrades when alone.
These thoughts have life, and they will fly
And leave their impress by and by,

Breathes into homes its fevered breath.
And after you have quite forgot
Or all outRrown some vanished thought,
Back to your mind to make it's home.
