AN UNJUST ACTION
Fails OF Its Object and Is Dis
missed by Judge Sanborn, of
the Circuit Court.
History of an Interesting Case
Used as Basis for the
Suit.

Judge Sanborn, of the United States
circuit court, filed an opinion yesterday
in the case of Mary Jane Mari, as adj
ministratrix Of the estate of Dennis
Washington Mari, against Charlotte r..
Shaw. Judge Sahborn ordered the bill
of complaint dismissed.
The suit was one brought to enforce
the specific performance of contract to
convey tract of about ITO acres of land
near Minneapolis, brought by Mary
Jane Mari, as eXecutriX of ID. W. Mari,
which was worth over $4,000 Nov. ii,
1866, the defendant bought the land for
$500, and contracted with Mari that he
should cultivate the land and pay the
taxes, in consideration of which the con-
veyance should be made. MARI paid
the defendant 5000 March 20, 1867, and
entering into possession paid taxes until
his death, Sept. II, 1869, and made per-
manent improvements. The answer de-
MES any contract to sell, and states that
the land was given to Mari temporarily
so that he could earn his living.
The main point to be settled was
whether the defendant made a contract
of sale or lease. The defendant was
the sister of ID. w. Mari, living in New
England. Prior to 1857 Mari resided in
81. Anthony, now Minneapolis. In 1858
Mari failed i'll business and was in
solvent till 1868. To save his home
from foreclosure under a mortgage he
induced the defendant to buy the mort
gage for S2,400. She foreclosed and
gave him and his family the use of the
place rent free from 1859 to 1866. In
| 500 she bought the 170-acre tract for
him for several thousand dollars. She
furnished him with seed and nipple
meuts. In 1878 she gave him $1,000
to invest in pine lands for her and
to buy ten additional acres to his
farm. He never made the invest
ment nor bought the land. nor accounted
for the money. Judge Sanborn holds
that there is no equity in favor of the
complainant arising by reason of the
Improvements made with defendants
own money. The records show Mari
was merely defendants tenant and had
no interest in it.
Judge Sanborn expresses the view
that the plaintiff is ungrateful. in view
of all the circumstances, and that it
it would be manifestly unjust toen force
the contract after lapse of twenty

1.-The Texas Steer" Opens to Stand
ing Room Only.
THE Texas Steer" has been here be-
fore, but no one who was at the Metro
politan last night would have thought
it. The house was packed from joiSts
TO rafters. and every aisle was thronged.
This was the best tribute to
the sterling merit of the best come
DIV HOyt's fertile brain ever gave birth
to. The Texas Steer' is the best mod
ern satire on the stage. Hoyt had hui
man nature, and especially polite al hu-
man nature, at his fingers ends when
he penned the lines of the farce. He
made political extremes meet in the
Texan congressman and the colored as
pirant to ministerial honors, and he
took off Washington life to perfection
when he created the character and acts
of Brassy Gall. The various roles were
taken, without essential change, the
same as when the play was last here.
The author had been expected TO play
the part of Gall, but was unexpectedly
called to Cincinnati, and left it i'll good
hands. The caste could hardly be inn
proved upon. Every part has had the
benefit of long experience, and left
nothing wanting. Miss Flora Walsh as
BoSSy was naive and charming as ever,
while Tim Murphy as the Texas repre-
sentative was simply out of sight. 1t is
unnecessary TO dilate upon the merits
Of either play or players, as both are
too favorably known in st. Paul to re-
quire more than mention. 1t goes with
out saying that The Texas Steer" will
do land office business during lbs stay
in st. Paul.

The Thomson Concert De velops
tremendously.
There are concerts and concerts given
in st. Paul during the season, but not
once in twelvemonth does one hear
such concert as was given by the
Agnes Thomson Concert company at
the Peoples church last night. The
audience was not all that might have
been desired, but the entertainment
was such one as all people who like
good music artistically rendered, enjoy.
The first and second movements of
Goltermann's concerto In A minor,
played by Franz Wagner On the cello

tone voice, and plenty of it. He sings
in an open-throated way, with deal of
fire. His first song was encored.
Mrs. Agnes ThomSon's first number
was "Regnava del Silenzio," by Doni-
zetti. The aria presents difficulties of
execution which would try less artis

THE TAX DOESN'T GO.
DR.. 8. G.. Smith, of the Peoples
Church, Enlightens the Board
of Abatement.
A Tax OF $500 Stricken Of-Nean
Attempt to Make Political
Capital.

The county board of abatement began
its usual annual work yesterday. The
most important matter disposed of yes
terday was the abatement Of the tax on
the Peoples church. Rev. S. q. Smith
appeared for his church, and asked that
the assessment of $4,000 against the
church be stricken off the books Oh the
grounds that church-property is exempt,
and his request was granted. The tax
would have amounted to about $500.
The church had been placed on the as
sessment roll OH the theory that it is
being used partly as concert hall.
An afternoon Republican organ en-
gagged in weak attempt to make po-
htical capital out of this case, but failed
miserably. The facts are that the tax
could never have been levied except by
Republican votes. While the action
imposing the tax was sought to be
credited to Democratic spleen, this is
fatty cOntradicted, in that Auditor Kahn
and AsSemblyman Van Slyke Were
strongly in favor of it's removal.

The Way to Use Fruits. for the
Sake OF Health.
There are certain persons who seem
to have mild sort of mania for queer
gastronomic performances, saws the
New York Ledger. They pride them
selves on their ability to bolt all sorts
of curious cables, and seem to think it
all accomplishment to swallow the
cores. seeds, stems and other portions
Of fruit. which are usually discarded.
In view of the fact that number of
deaths have occurred during the past
few years from the seeds of fruit,i might
be well for parents to give attention 10
the diet of their children in this re-
Spect. A severe and lingering attack of
gaStritlS was recently caused by chew
ing and swallowing the stems of apples.
Tie woody fiber ground into tiny SiverS
penetrated the cOatingS of the stomach,
and the patient had a narrow escape
from death. Peach-pits, plum-pits and
cherryplts are frequently swallowed by
children, of course without the slightest
comprehension of the injury which may
follow.
Ii is well known fact that the seeds
Of some plants may terminate in the
system. Having done this they imme-
PlOSCNb W ElOW ~IOOtos bOtd-
niStS understand that enormous quanti-
ties of roots will grow in darkness,
while there will be scarcely percepti
bic shoot of the top portion of the plant.
1t may be readily understood that this
growth would produce violent attacks
OF illness and result in death. The lack
OF consideration i'll matters of this sort
on the part of parents is one of the
curious features of daily life.
There are many persons who eat
grapes without removing the seeds. If
such people would take large bunch
of grapes and cook them, then strain
out the seeds and examine them, they
might be Mortified at the amount of
rubbish they consume every day during
grape season. The seed of the grape is
exactly the right size and shape for
clOgging up a small duct, the closing of
which results i'll the dreadful disease
known as appendicitis. Small orange
or lemon seeds or apple seeds are
equally dangerous.
Children should be taught the utmost
care in eating fruit. that every seed is
rejected. Ii is said that in grape coun-
tries the peasants teach their children
to eat merely the pulp Of the grape,
carefully avoiding the seeds, and in
some Instances the skin of the fruit.
There is no doubt that the pulp alone is
more desirable than pulp and skin to-
gether. 1t is easy to eat a grape by
pinching out the interior, holding the
outer covering between the thumb and
finger.
A great deal is said and written about
diet, but quite too little Is heard Of the

AS TO INSURANCE.
A Point as to the so Per Cent Rule
Under Discussion,

Under Discussion.
Insurance Commissioner Smith was
waited upon by number of st. Paul
and Minneapolis insurance men at the
capitol yesterday morning. Their visit
was for the purpose of asking the
commissioner to have a change made
in one of the state insurance rules
known as the 80 per cent rule. The
rule was adopted by the state insur-
ance department several years ago at
the request of the underwriters in the
Twin Cities. 1t provides that when an
owner issues his property for less than
so per cent of the value, he must stand
part of the loss made up in proportion to
the real value of the property. A re-
cent decision made in an insurance suit
declared that man owning a row of
buildings insured for so per cent of the
whole value, if one of the buildings be
destroyed by fire he is entitled to its
full value. 1t was to have this point
covered under the rule so that the in
surance men may be protected that the
visit was made yesterday. Commissioner
Smith took the matter under advise
ment. and will probably decide to make
the desired change.

Two Westward Bound Travellers
Turned Over for $50.
Two men who were going West via
the Northern Pacific to locate claim
were ''done" out of $50 each yesterday
by smooth ''con'' man. The two
grangers were invited from the depot to
take dinner with the well-dressed
stranger, who, as chance would have
it, was interested in the bank at
the same town to which they were
going. The banker insisted ON taking a
hack to the hotel, and on, the way
stopped to pay for the bill of goods he
had ordered. He had nothing but big
check, and borrowed $50 each from his
companions until he reached the hotel.
He left the hack to pay the bill, and
after waiting half an hour the losers
tumbled and notified the police.
