 John M. Kehoe, the saloonkeeper at 327 State street, has filed voluntary assignment naming Myron R. Durham as trastee Kehoe's liabilities are placed at S5,000 and his assets at 5000. A hear ing on the appointment of a trustee will be held next Wednesday.
 THE CRAFT COMPANY ASSIGNS.
 An assignment was recorded in the probate court yesterday. It was that of the Craft Refrigerating Machine com pany of s2 to 1O2 River street. George S. Barnum is named as trustee. The liabilities are placed at $30,00O, with the assets an unknown quantity. The hear ing of the appointment of trustee will take place next Thursday.
 The Craft Refrigerating Machine com pany was organized in 1891 with cap ital stock of $55,000. The officers of the company were James B. Craft of New York, president; FL. Bigelow,vice pres ident, and George s. Barnum secretary and treasurer. The stock of the com pany was divided into $50 shares of the par value of $100, of which Craft took $50, H.B.Bigelow 100, F. L. Bigelow 50, and George S. Barnum 50. ..... The purpose of the company principal ly was to build what was known as the Craft refrigerating machine. Among the first of the machines sold was one to the Quinnipiac Brewing company. The machine was put in the brewery, and shortly afterwards the purchasers com- plained that it did not work satisfactori- ly.The Craft company ordered it be re- turned, but instead of returning it the Quinnipiac company kept on using it for some time, and finally the Craft company demanded pay for it. This was refused, and a suit Was begun by the Craft company against the Quinni- piac company for the recovery of the
 
 The case came up for hearing before Judge Wheeler of the superior court, and during the progress of the trial Judge Wheeler ordered Bristol Stoddard & Bristol to name which count of their complaint they desired to rest their case upon.
 This Judge Stoddard refused to do, and Judge Wheeler ordered 8 non suit in the case.
 The question was carried to the su- preme court and that body held that the plaintiffs were not compelled to choose upon which count they would rest their case, although it sustained the non suit on the ground that the plaintiffs attorneys had shown dis courtesy to Judge Wheeler's orders
 After this decision proceedings were again begun against the Quinnipiac company, and are now pending.

FASHIONS IN GIRLS NAMES.

The most important change in the
nnming of girls has been the growing
dissemination to give them more than
one name, the object of this being that
when woman marries she may easily
combine her full maiden name with
her new surname. A three-word sig
nature is much prettier and more CON
venient than one composed of four
words. Then, too, immediate recog-
milton of her own as we'll as of her
husbands surname, and the conve-
nience in genealogical research and le-
gal transactions, are two reasons of
sufficient Importance to warrant the
combination were there no others.
With this fashion in girls names
has come, as in boys, Discrimination
to use diminutives or pet names.

al wonder If you will be as much
surprised as l was, the other day.
when ] learned that women are only
partially eligible TO benefit by an ac.
cident insurance policy?" asks cor
respondent. at is true that a wom-
an may take out such policy; and
if she is killed outright in some kind
OF disaster, her heirs may profit by It;
so long as the breath of life can be
kept in the body the woman herself
gets nothing. Two points are ad-
vanced in explanation of this course.
In the first place it is presumed that
accident insurance is only for people
who are deprived of the whole or
part of their income because OF in
jury received. and it is also presumed
that women are not self-supporting
and that their income is not affected
if they are hurt. The second point
is this; Although there are more men
hurt in the aggregate than women,
women are more liable to he hurt,
consequently the companies decline
to take what they consider, in their
theory, at least, heavy risks"

Miss Louise Stockton of Philadel-
phia, who has for some years had in
the New Century Club a literary com
mittee that has never fallen below 200,
has started plan for telling people
what they wish to read and where they
may find it. This new enterprise is
entirely her own, and she has given it
he title of the Round Robin Reading
Club. The members, who pay a mod
est fee, will read by subjects, and
these subjects are suggested by the
direction, after being informed by
the readers of their resources,
the time they have at their command
and their intellectual taste. They are
given intelligent and sympathetic SUI
peryision, and the schemes for the
preparation of papers and the forma-
ton of classes bestow more benefit
than could be possibly gained by any
course of reading pursued alone. Miss
Stockton is connected with the Brown
ing Club and the West Philadelphia
University Extension, and has been a
member of the New Century Club for
fourteen years. = New York World.
