THE OLSEN CLAIM.
The City and DR.. walker Made Joint
Defendants

Tho case of Charles Olsen vs. the ciIN
of Astoria, occupied the attention OF
Tuetice Cleveland and a ju;y during
Yesterday afternoon The salt i'
brought 10 recover The sum of ST.
damages alleged to have been sustained
by the plaintiff by reason of the burn
ing Of his trunk and rs contents dur
ing the sickness of Louis Olsen, vine
was afflicted with smallpox in this
citv some months ago Plaintiff was
represented by Messrs. Noland and
Currev and the city's interests were
looked after by C. j. Curtis
Readers of the Astorian will remem-
her that when Louis Olsen was taken
sick DR.. Walker, then city health Off
GER ordered that the trunk in ques-
ton should be burned. which instruc-
tions were carried out without an eX-
animation of it's contents. At the time
the claim was first put in to the city
council it was thought that some per-
son was endeavoIdng to impersonate
Louis Olsen in the latter's absence and
mulct the city for damages in the
amount above specified, but develop
ments proved that the claimant was
man who had roomed in
the same building with Olsen, and
whose trunk had been. found near the
door of the room occupied by the small
poz patient.
No evidence was brought yesterday
to show that DR.. Walker was the city
physician at the time and the main
question before the jury was whether
the city had authorized the doctor to
have the effects destroyed.

know who your companions are, nor
what protection you seek"
mr.. President, said the boy, posing
in a bold attitude, II am a poor boot
black, and my companions are of the
same calling; we shine boots and sell
newspapers, and with what we earn
feed and clothe ourselves, and as far as
we can assist our families. At other
times the same thing has occurred as
today, but no one has dared to make a
compliant, and if there was a news
paper that would do it the fact would
be denied by some official; but today
they can deny what is taking place"
And what is taking placer" inter
rupted the great man.
We are being taken as recruits, Mr..
President"
But, my boy, there is no recruiting
going on now"
I'VE are not recruited for the army,
Mr.. President, but we are tied and car
ried to work on coffee plantations.
Even at this moment thirty of my
comrades are leaving Bogota under
an escort for either Tolima of Fusa-
gasuga."
The Presidend made inquiries, and
immediately took steps to remedy the
wrong.
This story reminds one of the Bos-
ton boys who called upon General
Gage during the British occupation in
1868. They were in the habit of build
ing snow forts on the Common, and
the British soldiers smashed these toy
fortifcationsin orderto tease the boys.
This interview is historic.
1--WE come, SIR" said the spokesman
of the party, Ito demand satisfaction"
What" exclaimed General Gage,
have your fathers been teaching you
rebellion, and sent you to exhibit it,"
Nobody sent u.s." replied the lad,
Indignantly. 1--WE have never insulted
nor injured your soldiers, but they
have trodden down our snow hills and
broken the ice in our skating pond.
We complained. They called us reb-
els, and told us to help ourselves if we
could. They laughed at us. Yester-
day u works were destroyed again,
and we will stand it no longer"
General Gage was SO pleased with
the manly boys that he ordered the
soldiers to cease molesting them, ad-
ding, to an officer. THE very children
here draw in a love of liberty with
the air they breathe"

THE Chattanooga News comes out in
warm words of praise for the unassassi-
mated member of the Smith family for
State superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, and to judge from what the News
says, he is the only one, dead or alive,
having the least qualification for the
place. If the News had been honest it
would have said that in its opinion
Smiths chief recommendation is that
he knocked down a Republican mem

The last issue of the Tennessee Meth
odist devotes a good deal of space to a
consideration of the gambling evil,
and we do not know of a subject which
might better occupy the attention of
our religious press, or, for that matter,
the secular journals. The evil is a
monstrous one, and at times seems
overwhelming. Many laws have from
time to time been enacted to control it.
Herein lies the mistake. The aim
should be to destroy it entirely, and
to do this no %tampering should be in
dulged in. Put gambling on the same
plane with highway robbery-which is
but simply j~ustice-.and enforce the law,
and the act of gambling will be divest.
ed of the cloak of semi.respectability
with which it has been clothed for
years. All good men and law abiding
people should join in one determined
effort to aid in the crusade against the
gambling evil, and the Methodist de-
serves much credit for its stand in the
matter.
