The action of the lower court finding
against Frank s. Gray in his action to
recover damages from the estate or
Elliot F. Shepard for breach of con-
tract of employment, has been affirmed

The Court says that the fact that
Gray pretended to have destroyed a
letter which Shepard sent him with a
check for $1,000 to try and get advertis-
but, in fact kept the letter as a club
against Shepard. was breach OF the
contract of employment.

THE PRESS PORTFOLIOS.
An Immense Amount of Labor Represent
ed in the Potter-Bradley Atlas.

Few realize the enormous labor necessary
in making a complete and accurate atlas of
the world AS far back as history goes men
have been exploring the remote regions of
the earth and even now many parties are at
work getting information that must be
added to the maps as fast as they make
their reports. With the intelligence that
prevails now on such matters work must
be nearly perfect that will stand criticism
as one of the most remote corners of the
earth may be looked for as likely as the best
known places. And modern ideas have de-
manded that in addition to well made and
accurate maps, the atlas shall be furnished
with complete index so that no time shall
be lost in referring to it. The Potter-Brad-
ley atlas which is being offered by the
PRESS on the coupon plan possesses all the
above requirements and its index is feat
ure we'll worthy OF praise. In the three
parts that have already been issued there
are 175 columns of closely .set names of
cities, towns, counties and provinces in the
countries and states represented. These
columns contain over $4,000 names, each ac-
companied by reference which will allow
the place to be Immediately located on the
map. The accuracy of this index has been
|
it to the public. but in only one case has it
failed and this was a typographical error.
With this number of names in only three
parts 1t will be at once seen that the COM
plete index will be a stupendous affair and
that every civilized locality on the face of
the earth can be readily referred to. With
over one hundred maps at the least, all
completely indexed, together with statisti-
cal and descriptive matter as complete and
full as the index, one need not fear but
what the $500 that he spends in securing
the twenty parts will be well spent, and
that full value will be given. The patrons
of this series of portfolios are numerous
and increasing daily, as while some have
expressed intention of waiting until more
numbers were out before starting, the
majority prefer to take them as they come
out and thus get the benefit of the maps as
they are issued.
