A HEAVY DAMAGE SUIT.
A Local Merchant Sues the Brad
street Commercial Agency.


street Commercial Agency.
Sidney B. Wood filed a suit for
damages in the sum of $4,000
against the Bradstreet Commercial
Agency and J. E. G. Pedder, the
agent, in the Thirty-seventh Dis
trict court this afternoon.
The suit originated out of alleged
defamatory, false and scandalous
proclamations used by defendants
in speaking of plaintiff. The petit
ton alleges that defendant fraudu-
lently contrived and intended
not only to deprive plaintiff of his
good name, fame and credit as well
as good will and esteem of his
neighbors, and especially of the
wholesale merchants, but also to
bring him into scandal and disre-
pute and have him prosecuted and
punished for the crime of arson on
November %, 1898, in this city.
The petition further alleges that
defendants poclaimed in substance
that plaintiff had tried to
buy rating from the
| Bradstreet Commercial Agency
and that they would not give it to
plaintiff and that r. G. Dun & Co.
had sold plaintiff rating. That
plaintiffs record was bad; that
plaintiff had failed two or three
times and burned out two or three
times under very suspicious cir
or IstXv N
accused plaintiff of burning plain
tiff's store house in Hope, Ark,
though indicted for criminal libel,
was acquitted on trial.
| A FIREMAN SUES FOR DAMAGES.
A suit for damages in the sum
of $4,000 was filed this afternoon

| James w. Shane against the Next
can International Railway COM
pany. Shane was fireman on the
road and on last January II was

leges, was caused by a defective
engine.

Eats In tho House of Comm ons.

One Of the first pecularities to strike n
visitor to the house Of commons is the free.
dom which permits members to keep on
their hats during the progress of public
business. But this liberty has its limits.
A member may not wear his hat as he en-
tiers or leaves the house, or when be stands
at the bar, although he may put it on as
soon as he takes his seat. II q colleague
engages in conversation with him, he un-
covers his head, and SO must he of course
when he rises to address the house. An
other requirement is that member must
only make speech from one Of the accus-
toned seats, never from the entrance, the
bar or the gangwoy.
The same rule is observed when he rises
to order in the course of debate, but II he
raises point of order concerning q division
which has been already called he must
keep his seat and speak with his hat on.
Even the speaker in such cases does moi
rise when he interposes with his rulings
SO that the proceedings assume a somewhat
easy going conversational character. On one
occasion of the kind the late Professor Faw
cett, who then sat below the gangway, was
unable, heing blind, to find his own hal
| quickly enough. He overcame the emer
genoy, however, by borrowing the wei
known soft hat Of his neighbor, Mr.. JOSEPH
Cowen, which, although it neither fittet
nor suited him, yet served the purpose O
the moment
The effect was ludicrous, but not more s,
than at another similar crisis when Mr.
Gladstone hastily borrowed the hat Of IN
other occupant of the front opposition
bench and found it SO much too small TO
him that he had to hold 1t on until tn
point In dispute was settled.-Chambers

Congressman Boutelle, an old and inti-
mate friend Of Mr.. Blaine, recalls distinct
ly the late secretary's early newspaper
work.
"As long ago as 1885," said he, when
Mark H. Dunnell, res unity congressman
from Minnesota, was member of the
Maine state senate, he had occasion to make
a speech that was fully reported in the
state papers. Two accounts in particular,
those In the kennebec Journal and the Au-
gusta Age, pleased him. Upon investigat-
ing to ascertain who had written them, he
discovered that the report in The Age had
been prepared by Melville W. Fuller, now
chief Justice of the United States supreme
court, and that In The Journal by James
G. Blaine. then an active young newspaper
man. Mr.. Blaine and Judge Fuller used
frequently to compare notes on these old
newspaper experiences and enjoyed many
pleasant chats together on the subject.
mir Blaine was very fond of his news
paper work." continued Mr. Boutelle, "An
old partner Of bis, Mr.. John L. Stevens
who is now United States minister to Ha
: wall, was associated with him in managing
the Kennebeo Journal for several years
Mr.. Blaine was an editorial writer Of great
: fores, and believe Mr.. Stevens attended
to the general management of the paper
Mr. Blaine was one OF the fastest writer's
, ever knew, and he would frequently choos'
a subject a short time before the papel
went to press and dash off a brilliant edi
ttorial in q few minutes.

the sempstresses. The ladies, however,
say they are pretty, and that settles
the matter. Those who wish to charm
