Supreme Court Decides They
Were Not Entitled to
Interest.
Conclusions of Law Laid Dow
i'll Chief Justice Lyons
Opinion.
Amount Claimed is ABOUT S17O..
900 From Harshaw And Over
S2OO,UOO From McFetridge.

Madison, Wis, Jan 1O.-The supreme
court to-day rendered an opinion in
. the cases Of the State against Ex-State
Treasurers McFetidge and Harshay
and their suretieS. 1t was a complete
victory for the commonwealth. The
opinion was written by Chief Justice
Lyon and was affirmed by the whole
court. The decision of Circuit Judge
Newman is affirmed in most particulars
The conclusion Of the court is as fol-
lows:
Upon due cOnsidera ton our conclus-
ions upon the whole case are (and the
court SO holds that the funds which
Treasurer NIcFetridge deposited with
banks were the property of the state,
that in making such deposits as treas
urer and STIMULATING for and receiving
interest thereon, or receiving intereS
without such stipulation, he did n.
violate any law of the state; that such
interest so paid to him being an accre-
ton or increment to the fund, increaS-
ing it by the amount of interest thus
treasurer NcFetridge received such in
tereSt by virtue of his Office of state
treasurer and the same belonged to
his said office; that his failure to &C.
count therefor to the state, or to deliv-
er the same to his successor in office,
as required by law, is a breach of the
conditions of his official bond; and that
this action can be maintained on such
therein, to recover the interest thus re-
ceiYed by him and unaccounted for.
In determining this case the court
has adopted many of the views of the
learned circuit judge, but withholds it's
approval of others. Inasmuch as we
arrive at the same conclusion reached
by him, although by different processes
of reasoning, it is unnecessary further
to discuss the propositions in his very
able opinion which we are not prepared
to adopt.
The Judgment of the circuit court
must be affirmed.
The suits were brought to recover
principal as follows:
HarShaW .................. Sl4O,OOO.
McFetridge ............... $780, 900.
Total NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. $4,000.
Other suits pending are as follows:

PROLETARlAN PARIS.
The Marriage Invariably onsidered to be
Great Eveut.

The Marriage Invariably onsidered to be
Great Event.
HarperS: \ marriage is always
great event in popular Paris, and
whether it be that of a workingman,
of Il shOpkeeper, or of a well-to-do
manufacturer who gives Il handsome
doWTy to his daughter, it attracts the
attention of the whole neighborhood.
In order to get duly married in pop
ular Paris there are three formalities
which tradition has made absolutely iu-
dispenSable-going to the town hall for
the civil marriage, going to church for
the religious marriage, and going 10
BOiS. In closed carriages or in open
landaus, in omnibuSeS or breaks drawn
by three or four horses, according as
the wedding is more or less distinguish
ed, the party rides out to the Bots de
BOulogue, makes the tour of the lakes,
at the cheaper cafes at SureSneS. The
program is invariable. While the coach
take a drink, the cOrtege visits the cas-
cade, that little artificial Switzerland
which the genius of NJ. Alphand has
concentrated within a space of two
hundred square yards. The bride, the
bridegroom, the bridesmaids, the
groOmsmen, the parents, and the guests
climb up the steps and pass along the
gallery under the cascade, whose wa
tiers form a liquid crystal curtain
through which is seen the magnificent
panorama of the plain of Longchamps
and the soft hills of Suresnes and
Saint Cloud. Then follows further
driving in the fine avenues of the Bots,
the Avenue DIES Champs Elysees, and
the bOuleVardS, and so to the various
restaurants of different grades that
makes a speciality of wedding feasts--
Gillet, Lemardelay, Velour, or the more
modest restaurants of the envirOnS and
of the faubOurgs. The tables has a
joyous aspect in all these establish
ments; it is laid with art and served
with apparent abundance, whatever
the price may be, and the wedding
guests are joyous and noisy until order
is called for the speeches and songs.
In Il popular Partisan wedding the
bride has to sing her little song like the
rest. The poet of the family recites
some verses, and everybody has some
thing to say, to sing, or to do, inasmuch
that wedding dinner is often merely
a preteXt for eloquence and amateur
historical talent. Are not the Gauls es-
sentially artists and orators, rs julius
Caesar remarked centuries ago?
The great day for popular weddings
in Paris is Saturday. On that day the
student of character, physioguOmy, gest-
ure, and expression has only to wander
about the main thoroughfares of the
capital and go and sit at the cafes CT
Suresnes or at the Cafe de Ia Cascade
in order to see more varied and anus
ing collection of human creatures in
their best clothes than can be seen
anywhere else in the world.

\ Market Poultry Farm.

To run the entire list of branches on
a market poultry farm, more than one
breed must be kept, as there is no
single variety that will give the re-
quired satisfaction IN every branch,
says an Exchange. After giving nearly
every kind, in the large number of
breeds, a thorough trial, the writer
has selected the following: Black
Minorcas for eggs, on account of the
large size of this product; Silver Wyan-
dottes for broilers, as that breed has
proven itself to be the most complete
for the work. aside from judiciOus
crossing, and also most reliable for
winter laying; the Light Brahmas for
roasters, there being more body than
to any of the Asiatics and the Black
Langshan for help in winter laying and
for roasting fowls for those who prefer
a more gamey taste than the Brahmas
will give. Besides these breeds, cock
erels of the Plymouth Rock, Indian
Game and single Comb Brown LeghOrn
for crossing on the Brahma and Wyan-
dotte fowls Or, if there is no partcu-
lar object in keeping the breeds pure,
a list like the following could be kept,
and with even more success than the
former: Black NIinorcaS for eggs.
There would be no object in crossing
this breed, for we do not believe cross
ing would benefit the egg record; Silver
Laced Wyandotte hens crossed by In,
dian Game cockerels; Langshan hens
crossed by Black Minorca cockerels
and Light Brahma hens crossed by
Houdan cOckerels. These crosses would
be unsurpassed for broiler or roasting
purposes, and the offsprings would
make good winter layers. Of the duck
family. nothing can out do the Pelins
and of the goose family, the Toulouse

THE POPULACE STIRRED
Governor Of Maryland Releases -Four Pris-

Governor Of Maryland Releases -Four Pris-
oners Who Were to Hang.
Chestertown, Maryland, Jan. lin
tense excitement reigns in Kent coun-
ty. Four of the octet Of murderers
who assassinated DR.. j. Hill, were re-
moved from the place their sentences
having been committed by the governor.
Those whose lives were spared are
Henry HURT, John Barnard, Charles
Emery and Lewis Benson. Those who
are left and who will surely hang Fri
day, if they are not lynched before,
are Charles Brooks, Moses Brown,
Fletcher Williams and f. COmegys.
When the populace learned this
morning that the sentences had been
committed and the prisoners taken away
excitement and indignation amounted
almost to madness. 1t is said that it
would be dangerous for the governor
to be seen about the city.
Crowds gathered in the neighborhood
of the jail and in all places of public
resort and discussed the matter In loud
tones.
Lewis Justice, a prominent mer-
chant, appeared to voice the sentiments
of the populace when he said: Il
should not be surprised if the other
four were lynched tonight. You can
hardly realize the pitch Of the excite
ment to which the people are worked
If the secret had leaked out last night
the police would not have had an easy
time to get the men away"

RAISING DUCKS.

Wholesale Methods on Farms In New
York.
Up in Speonk, Long Island, about
SeVenty-tWO miles north of the city of
New York, is farm on which are kept
one thousand Perkin ducks for breeding
purposes, says the Western Farm
Journal. The farm is owned by A j.
Hallock, young man who has inherit
ed the business from his father. This
immense number of ducks are divided
into pens Of thirty-five each, and each
pen has pond of water. 1t is a novel
sight to witness them sporting in the
water and their continual "quack,
quack," is fairly deafening Beginning
in February and lasting until the last
of. August these ducks lay hundreds OF
eggs, daily, almost, and, with the eXcep-
ton, as fast as they are gathered they
are put into incubatorS and turned into
broiler ducks. AS many as ten thousand
ducklngs are shipped annually from
this farm and thousands of eggs sold for
Matching. The past season Mr.. Hallock
disposed of twenty thousand eggs. An
mmnese cellar has been built, which
will hold thirty three three-hundred-
egg-capacity incubatOrs, the entire work
being in charge of Mr.. G. A. McFet-
ridge, an expert in artificial methods.
Three large broOding houses, with
capacity Of two thousand ducklings
each, are kept full in season, and it is
Mr.. Hallock's intention to double last
years shipments. The editor of this
department has just returned from a
visit to the gigantic farm, and during
his stay visited a number of neighbOr-
ing farms, conducted on a less extern
SiVe scale. The combined shipment
from the island the past season amount
ed to about three hundred thousand
pounds. The visit gave very good in
sight to the possibilities of duck culture.
The farms visited were all in a prosper
Gus condition, and from the appearance
of the surroundings it was quite evident
that is was a paying industry. Why
not start more duck farms in the west?
There is ample room for them. Our
large cities will buy the products at q
good margin, and as there is less risk
to run with them than any other branch
Of market poultry it is strange that
more do not engage in it.

nice black dresses an effective trimming

able pin for the hair is a jeweled dag

brilliant jewels.
The sweeping changes in the shape
Of winter hats and bOnnetS have brought
about Il new style Of wearing the hair

name for the big round knot of hair
Which is soon to be the fashion. 1t is
worn low, though not so low as the
Languy knot, and demands a larger
amount OF hair than the majority OF
women possess.
Pale bule, lavender and scaI-et wells
are worn, but as d general thing they
are not becoming
For middle-aged lady nothing can be
more fitting, and elegant at the same
time, than a ruby velvet gown covered
with black silk gulpure lace, richly
draped. A wide sash and stOmacher Of
ruby velvet are worn over the cOrSage,
which is of lace, finely gathered, and in
the powdered hair a cockade of ruby
velvet ribbon is set jaumtiIy a little on
one side. A similar dress was worn the
other day by the Comtesse de POurtales

gave to the Russian Grand Dukes just
before they left Paris.
