of $1,000.

of $1,000.
Biddeford, September 29.-At the SUI
preme Court session yesterday, a verdict
of $1,000 was given Mrs. Laura Greves of
Saco in her suit for $1185 against Henry
l. Lord. The defendant is real estate
agent, pension attorney, and a prominent
member of the Biddeford board of trade.
The plaintiff proved to the satisfaction
of the jury that Mr.. Lord defrauded her
out of $1,000 in securing a pension for
her, which altogether amounted to only
about $3.50. The defence was that Mrs.
Gieves had conspired to blackmail Mr..
Lord. The case will be carried up.

yesterday in William Rodgers luXuri-
Gus, glaSs-w walled sanctum, where he
edits his st. Andrews day speech and
his annual lecture ON the fine points OF
curling.
At the intimatien sent out by Mr..
Fox, forth from the lips of Mr.. Sherin
''went' the assertion that Mr.. Fox was
a liar-not a plain liar with no trim
mings, but with an expressive adjective
to distinguish the degree. The steam
filter knew this was no part Of the case
being arbitrated and felt the eplthet
was undese rived.
So he reached out as If grasping

closed digits went" against the edi-
tors golden mouStache, and the editorial
caput is said to have "went" against a
large pane of hIgh-toned Opaque glass,
which likewise also "went"-to pieces.
A recess was at once taken, and for a
minute there was very llfelike exhi-
bition of football ia cklers at work.
Blood dripped languidly: but arms and
legs "went' like windmills. Wind also
went" because no one had trained for
the occasion; and presently the referee
went" lame OH warm kick where the
kits don't reach. His judicial air was
lost in the shuttle. and in his shrillest
bonspiel tones he demanded peace. with
one hand resting tenderly on his shin,
and the other raised in deprecatin ng

The interested experts interfered,
Just to show there was no ill-feeling,
and the second round was never begun.
Mr.. RoGger forgot to formally adjourn
the court, but everybody understood
this merely formal proceeding was un-
necessary. Sore. and not even satisfied,
he nurSed his injured member. When
seen by reporter who had snl fled the
battle from the GLOBE tower he refused
to talk, except to mutter in low tone

man secured the pointers touching the
affair. The latest information is that

ARBITRATION FAILS.
An Editor and a Steamfitter Make
Very Unsatisfactory Con-
nection.
Hon. William Rodger, Acting as
Arbitrator. Gets Decidedly
the Worst of 1t.

A peaccable man often gets into dis
agreeable snap, even when he is en-
deavoring to act the philanthroplst and
shine as a pacifier. Such was the ex-
perience of respected citizen yester-
day. Presiding as arbitrator in case,
he was compelled to abandon the hear
ing to repair damages. AS closely as
can be ascertained, these are the facts
which cluster round recherche little
''scrap" that was never billed to occur.
Case No. 43, on the general term cal
endar of the Ramsey county district
court, reads: William B. Fox, Thomas
c. Fox and John L. Fox, copartners as
Fox Bros. VS.. The News Publishing Com
pany.
The case has been pending some
time, and is seemingly mixed up with
some other case which has had at least
hearing. The parties to the case of
Fox Bros. VS.. The News were advised by
counsel to arbitrate. This advice was
considered favorably by both sides, and
yesterday was the day selected for hold
ing the court of arbitration.
Hon. William Rodger had been
selected as referee, and the MesSrs.
Fox were on hand with several experts
when the court of amicable settlement
convened in the cosy office of the Eighth
ward Solon. Mr.. Sherin was also pres
ent. and had his temper i'll easy reach.
Preliminaries settled, all hands dis
posed themselves comfortably for the
hearing. Mr.. Rodger. after examining
the bills in dispute, remarked with a
| iudicial accent and easy confidence that
| the case was
an Easy One to Settle.
Before it had progressed far. how
ever. the referee changed his mind.
| Everything moved along smoothly for
| q little while. There was seemingly a
| disposition to give and take on both
sides. Presently the editor dropped in
a remark that was taken by the other
| side as an insinuatlon.
| The referee sternly frowned on the
break, and opined that unless more eau
tion were exercised he would declare
foul. "You know" he remarked "all
business men have these little differ
ences. They are easily adjusted II the
parties keep cool and gaze steadily at
each other as friends. Observe how de-
void of warmth Is the CLINT of my eye,
which so recently was wont to flash like
flame in the heat of forensic fight on the
floor of yon stately capitol pile. We are
moving pleasantly, my friends; let us so
continue. Small satisfaction 'twould
be to me to preside over an arbitration
that should result in hostility"
Mr.. Rodger received his small salts
faction Not far had the conference
proceeded after the referees fatherly
caution before there were develop
mentS.
The suit of Fox Bros. was based on
steamfitting work done in the present
business home Of the News. incidentally

case, that il any one was responsible for
a certain debt it was he Qhe editor).

DIVORCED FOR DEPRAvITY.
Two Divorces Granted And a
Third Suspended.

There were three divorce cases heard
by Judge Otis yesterday. The case
of John Wisoka against Bertha
Wosika was a peculiar one and dis
closed a case of utter depraVity. The
couple separated on the wedding day
and never lived together. They were
married at Hudson. Wis, last Feb
ruary, and coming to West st. Paul
that evening they would be serenaded
in charivari style. Each agreed to go
home and meet the next day. The hus-
band says that his wife did not go home
but violated the marital relations that
same night, and afterwards became a
frequenter of the Jumbo" concert
saloon in Minneapolis. Witnesses were
called to show that the woman COM
mitted adultery at the Jumbo" with a
man siXty-five years old, and led a dis
solute life. The court decided to grant
a divorce upon hearing the story of de-
pravity.
Lena Bye was granted divorce from
Nels L. Bye because of willful deSertlon
for more than three years.
After hearing the testimony at hand
on the application of Ida Donais for a
divorce from Frank Donais, Judge Otis
was of opinion that the evidence was
not sufficient to prove inhurnan treat
ment, and postponed the further hear
ing of the case to give the wife further

in the recent state Legislature, known

in the recent state legislature, known
as ''the free text book law empowers
all boards of education to purchase text
books for use in schools and either lend
them or sell them at cost to the children
The wisdom of furnishing text books
free is certainly open to question, but
whether wise or not, the finances OF this
board render its adoption Impossible at
the present time. The other provision
of the law, however, empowering boards
to purchase books and sell them at cost
to the children, is free from the tneO-
retical objections which apply to free
text books, and can be accomplished en-
tirely without expense to the city,
At the beginning of each school year
much time is wasted because OF the in
ability of the children to secure the
proper textbooks at the proper time:
Moreover, great annoyance is caused
and Injustice suffered because Of the
varied prices at which books are sold.
The following are a few samples OF
prices at which copies of the same
reader have been purchased by different
children in the same school: 45, 4S, 80
ana 55 cents. Prices on some books III
the same school district vary from 80 to
80 cents, from. SO to 40 cents, and from
$1.05 to s1.20.
If the board should purchasethe books
at the prices at which publishers otfer
them, the saving would be from 20 to
100 per cent, which would amount to
many thousand dollars in the course OF
year. The Slight additional expense
connected with handling could be added
to the price of the books. This is the
new idea as it is in successful operation
in st. Louis and other places.
