ALarge Judgment Affirmed.

Lansing, December ls.-Probably the
largest judgment ever rendered in a
suit for damages by the Ingham
County Circuit Court was affirmed by
the Supreme Court to-day. In May,
1898, John o. Grinnell, u member of
Frank fuckers band, while marching
along the principal street of this city
was struck by an electric car and
knocked down. He received injuries
to his lungs which subsequently caused
his death. A suit was instituted
against the Lansing Street Railway Co.
and verdict of SO, 800 rendered by
the jury. A bond was given to- secure
the payment of the judgment, and an
appeal taken. The Supreme Court
affirmed the judgment, which must
now be paid. With costs and interest
the claim now amounts TO over Sl3 900.
Judge Martin V. Montgomery is adj
ministrator of the estate of young
Grinnell, and the latter's heirs will
receive the money to be obtained from
the street railway company.

The Tnrfman Wagered an X, Knowing the
 Endurance of His Leg.
 There are great many stories told by horsemen about Father Bill Daily. One of the best is this:
 Once, at one of the tracks near New [, York. he had O horse that was lame. Daly prescribed hot baths for the horses leg and gave it the first one himself. He got a pail of boiling water and stuck the horses leg into it. While he was holding the leg in the pail a tender hearted man | happened along. Here" he shouted, ig"what are you doingH" 2 ''I'm doctoring this horses leg" replied Daily, in mild surprise. y Well, we'll, ." said the tender hearted man, ''that is an infefhal outrage. The idea of treating horse like that" Like whatP" asked Daily.
 "Why, the idea of subjecting a poor, { defenseless horse to such torture That ( waters boiling"
 g. Suppose it is, said Daly, "it don't hurt the horse none"
 Tt must give the horse great pain" Daly began to get mad See here, !" he shouted, that water don't hurt that horse none, say Why, could put my own leg in, it. t,-c.-
 c Certainly you couldn t." retorted the tender hearted man, the water would burn you to the quick.
 Bet you S10 can put my foot in it and hold ib there for half an hour, if nec- essaryl" yelled Daly, pulling out 0 roll of bills.
 "I'll take you," said the tender hearted man, putting up his money.
 Thereupon Father Bill stuck his wood en leg into tho boiling water and held it there, with a smile on his face, for five minutes. Then he gathered in the tender hearted mans $10 and began operations on tho horse again.-Buffalo Express

Hamlet Didn't Stay.

A sad looking gentleman, like sort of very much retired Hamlet, with q pain full expression of face, entered the coffee room of a country hotel the other day, holding in his hand small canister.
 Look at this, gentlemen, he said sor- rowfully. II went into 0 gunsmith' s shop to get something to eat, and the man handed me this can of powder. He said I could go and blow myself up. Profession al actors were not wanted now-there's so many flne amateurs. I pledge you my word," said the tramp, holding the can within an inch of the grate in which fire was burning "I'm so miserable I've a mind to follow his advice"
 ''Dare you do itf" said bystander, winking at the crowd.
 The wretched party gave sad, theat- rical, lingering look and tossed the can into the fire
 The company yelled and rushed out of the place in all directions.
 When they filed in about 10 minutes later, the empty can was sitting harmless ly on the fire. Not so the glasses. Four were empty and several luncheon plates also.

A BAR TO WOODEN LEGS.
Pilots Must Be Free From Magnetic
Attractions.

Have you wooden leg?
Have you a make-believe arm p?
Have you nerves of steel?
Do you take iron tonics?
These are some of the somewhat
personal interrogatories that will
confront the future applicant for a
license to act as pilot of steam
vessels. When the Government
inspectors sit to receive applicants
for licenses they will fire these
questions off. If the surprised
applicant pleads guilty to any of
the counts he must subject his
artifciality to the scrutiny of the
members of the board. This all
comes through the discovery that
a ships compass needle takes queer
turns and cuts up unacceptable
shines sometimes. Once a know
ing old sea-dog was entertaining a
pretty girl in the pilot house. The
compass fell into some of its
pranks. The old sea-dog was
puzzled for bit. He knew the
pretty girl was magnetic enough
to bother anything, to say nothing
of a superstitious mariners COM
pass; but he was a practical old
fellow, and knew that it was some
thing more than her eyes that was
at work.
eff We want to stay here yell
hev to take off yer co'sets," blurted
out the pilot.
"Why, captain /" gasped the
fair one.
Can't be helped, me lady. The
steel in 'em knocks this compass
clean out. The needle jumps lords
ye jes' like strip of boy would"
The abashed young woman fed
from the pilot-house, pouted a lit
tie, and refused to return.
The Board of Underwriters had
the danger called forcibly to them
by the loss of the schooner Susan
e. Peck, which went ashore at Bar
Point, Lake Erie, in September last,
entailing a loss of $4,000, which
the insurance companies had to pay.
This disaster, it is claimed, was di-
rectly traced to the slight devia-
tons of the compass, due to the
steel in her pilots artificial leg.
The matter was called to the atten-
ton of the Treasury Department,
which will shortly issue circular
to the Inspectors of Hulls and Boil
ers, who constitute the local Board
of Examiners, as to the course to
pursue when limbless applicants
for pilots certificates come forward.
The proper protection of the ships
compass must be perfected at all
hazards Philadelphia Record.
