Anecdotes of DR.. Holmes,

In the older days of the Harvard medi.
cal school, when funds were scarce and
professors scarcer, DR.. Holmes was the
lecturer on anatomy, physiology, medical
chemistry and a few other subjects. One
day the president of the college met him
In the street and congratulated him or his
then recent election to a professional chair
Of medicine.
"Chair!" flashed out the doctor.
You're mistaken, my dear sir. 1t isn't
q chair Of medicine that I occupy. It's q
whole settee."
The second tale Is also a medical one
and relates to a meeting Of the leading
physicians of a bygone generation. They
were all, except Holmes, big men physical
ly as well as mentally, and for some time
the little doctor walked disconsolately
about amid his six foot colleagues. Then,
jingling the loose change in his pocket,
he said calmly:
do you know, gentlemen, I feel like a
8 cent piece among a lot Of penniess"-

A MINING DEAL.
A One-Third Interest in the Imperi-
al Group Becomes the Property of
Mrs. Metzger.

LastMonday the deal was consumated
by which Mrs. Metzger becomes the
owner of an undivided one-third interest
in the Imperial group of mines on Harley
creek. The consideration in the deal
was a deed to property in Beaver City,
Oklahoma, and a sum of money. Peter
Duhaime is party of the first part to the
transaction.
1t is the intention of the Metzgel
family to remove to q house on this
property and in the spring to build a
new residence in that locality. Lumber
has already been sent up to effect some
repairing about the mine, and operations
are in progress on the lower tunnel. In
conversation with this business like lady
we were informed that work would go
on all the coming summer and that
whatever machinery was found necessary
would be supplied. The outlook for
the Harley creek mines never was better
and it seems to be the determination of
the present owners to p~ersevere until
they are able to show what the ground
actually contains.

Our Preference.

When a man takes the paper for two or
three years without paying up, he often
imagines he is doing the publisher a
great favor. We would like to disposses
a few subscribers of this notion, and
would rather that they ante up even if
they choose to stop the paper. To all
such, we prefer their money to their pat
ronage.

tive of the company here notified the
owners at Salt Lake of the condition of
affairs, but they paid no attention to
the affair and the drivers took matters
in their own hands by attaching the
stock and stages all along the line. The
result is that no stages on this line are

INTERNA TIONAL SIGNAL CODE.

On July 5, 1855, committee was
appointed by the British Board of
Trade ito inquire into and report
upon the subject of code OF signals
to be used at sea-" In September of
the following year this committee
presented a code made up of eighteen
flags and pennants representing the
eighteen consonant letters of the
alphabet, out Of which 1852 COM
binations could be made for words
and sentences. A signal book of
combinations, with the words, sem
fences, name ofplaces and ships which
these combinations represented, was
prepared, adopted, and alterward
translated by many foreign nations.
This code has now become establish
ed all over the world, and is known
as the International Signal Code.
Now when a ship meets another ship
at sea, her captain looksin his signal
book for the combination of flags
which represents his ships name,
and HOSTS them. The captain of the
other ship looks at that combination
in his book, and reads opposite to it
the same name Then he tells his
ships name in the same way. Then
he may ask questions to tell anything
by looking in the signal book for the
sentences or parts of sentences he
wants, and hosting the combination
of flags which makes them, In his
own language, the other captain will
find the same sentences opposite the
same combinations of flag letters il
his own signal book.-[ From "What
the Flags Tell" by Ensign John M

CENTRAL VERMONT WINS.

The Central Vermont Railroad
Company Saturday won the first OF
a series of is suits brought by as
many insurance companies to recov-
err for their losses by the destruction
of grain in an Ogdensburg elevator
by fire in September, 1890. The
total amount involved in these cases
was about $4,000. The first action
was brought by the North British
Insurance Company of London and
Edinburgh against the Central Yer
mont Railroad, to recover about
$4,000, being the amount OF insurance
it paid to Harvey & Co. OF Chicago,
f. E. Chandler of Boston and E. A.
Hurlburt of Ogdensburg. 1t was
agreed by attorneys tor the different
parties that the North British case,
as it involved all the questions in the
cases, should be tried first, as test
case. 1t was referred to Hon. Wat
son NJ. Rogers of Watertown, N. Y,
one of the oldest lawyers in New
York, as sole referee to hear and to
determine the case.
After an exhaustive trial, lasting
eight days, the referee has just made
his decision in favor OF the Central
Vermont Railroad Company on every
point. He decides that the Harvey
and Chandler grain was in possession
OF the defendant under bills of lading,
which constituted the contract be-
tween the parties that the provisions
in the bills OF lading that no action
could be maintained unless brought
within three months after the fire,
and that the Central Vermont Rail-
road Company should have the ben
eft of any insurance effected by the
shippers, were valid and a perfect
defence in that part Of the action
brought on the Harvey and Chand-
Ter losses. As to the Hurlburt grain,
which was held by the Central Yer
mont Railroad Company as a ware
house man and not under any bill oil
of lading, he decides that the compa.
ny was not guilty of any negligence
which caused the fire.
