her sides clean as race horse.
On the right side panel is the inscrip-
ton:
Omitted States of America"
There is in the background carving
OF a full-rigged man-of-war with sails
soft in front of which, there is, just
touching the sea, an anchor, on which
the American Eagle stands with out
stretched wings.
Opposite is the inscription:
s"rhe Great Seal of the State of North
Carolina. Esse Guam Videri,s under
heath which is the coat of arms OF
the State.
There are the sea and shell-sug-
pestion, both in the tout ensemble ana

curling curves both of edges ami inte-
rior, are full of light and sparkling
result.
The bowl, of solid silver lined with
the most delicate shade of gold, weighs
$40 ounces. or nearly 30 pounds. IS ca

not be reproduced for less than $1,000.

resenting heads of dolphins with the
bodies and tails winding up in graceful
curves. which mark the divisions of the
panels, and terminating in delicate
edoine for the rim. In appropriate in
tefyals are reliefs of shell and sea-
weed effects, not too elaborate, but all
taken together, leaving an impression
of rich. simple elegance, tempered by
breeziness of touch, as dainty as the
merry aroma of the wine that Will no
doubt come from it's lips as rosy
breath of morning many winter

hearts of the homeless ladies. :

lated upon the eonfpletion of this
work of appreciation from the people
here. 1t has ben shown to the Governor
for acceptance, though it has not been

arrangements have finally been made
by which the gift will be received by
the cruiser in North Carolina waters.

lish American Encyclopedia of Law,

tice and other authoritative law books.

young members of the Raleigh bar and
one of the most popular young gentle
men of the city. In 1894 he was one
of the candidates of the Democratic
party for the Legislature in this coun-
ty, and made a fine impression all
through the county. He has been one
of the most untiring workers among
the younger Democrats His leaving
causes much regret.

tempting spread as ever graced the
tables of the Park, and spent de-
lightful evening.

Mr. Frank ID. Winston, of Windsor,
passed through the city yesterday
morning. Mr.. Winston attended the
RoXboro meeting where Guthrie and
Jarvis spoke. He said Jarvis who kept
asking Guthrie whether or not he
would vote for Settle, kept so pinning
down the POpulist candidate, that
Guthrie finally was forced to satisfy
himself with the answer: ''Tll let Set
tie and Kitchin fight it out among
themselves" Mr. Winston interpre-
ted this to mean that Kitchin was as
good as endorsed by Guthrie and the
Populists and that, therefore, his cleo
ton was now a matter of little doubt
K y
Mr.. Oscar Spears, of Harnett, was
in town yesterday. He was in Repub-
lican headquarters presumably getting
orders for his campaign appointments.
He will, he says, be on the stump con-
tinually for the next several DAYS, and
will then retire for a few days court
work, after which he will set the woods
atire again. Mr.. Spears says he stands
for "bi-metallism on a gold basis" and
no mistake. He was asked by the re-
porter, why this sudden change of
front on the part of Republican lead
ers in the State who formerly profess
ed to be for free siiver2" He said he
stood where he had always stood. But
as to the others, the public knows bet

LOUIS b. SMITH DEAD.
Veteran Business Man Passes Into
the Great Beyond.

Louis B. Smith, who established in
business in st. Paul in 1875, died at
one O'Clock yesterday morning at his
home, 593 Summit avenue, after a con-
finement Of several weeks. An affec-
dropsy, was the cause Of death. Mr.
Smith had large circle of friends ac-
quired during his residence of over a
score Of years. Coming to ST. Paul in
1875 his business ventures were quite
successful, and he was among the first
to realize the opportunities offered by
investments in st. Paul real estate
His operations in real estate specula-
ton were marked by good judgment
and he speedily accumulated a large
fortune. He invested much Of his
profits in income producing securities
and the recent depression in the real
estate market has had little effect upon
his fortune. He retired from active
business in 1894.
Louis B. Smith was born in GaIena,
Ill, in 1851, although his father re-
moved with his family to Hudson, Wis,
in 1853, and to Minneapolis in 1871. He
is survived by widow and two chill
dren, son and a daughter.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev.
DR.. Rhodes, Of st. Johns Episcopal
church, will be held at the residence
Thursday morning at $50 o'clock. The
pallbearers will be Daniel Murphy, E..
James Romans, l. L. Mahan, Charles
Couch, John H. Randall, and VIM.

are hottest. Lactated food fully meets
every need of growing children. It is a
perfect substitute for mothers milk-S
sugar of milk is the basis of both. Chill
dren weaned or for any reason de-
pr1ved of breast milk grow steadily and
keep strong and web when fed with
this best of all infant foods.
Next to breast milk, when the mother
is vigorous and fully capable of bring.
ing up her baby, lactated food has no
equal. But hot weather reduces the
richness and abundance of mothers
milk as well as weakens the chiId's ap-
petite and power of digestion.
In such cases lactated food is far
superior to breast milk that has be-
come thin from protracted nursing, or
that for any reason Is not agreeing
with the child. This is proved by the
splendid way in which lactated food
brings babies through the teething
period when they are fretful and dig
inclined to eat at ALL
Says Mrs. Grace Agnew, of 657 East
Sixth street, Erie, Pa, in a. letter to the
proprietors of this best of foods:
Il have been using 1actated food,
with excellent results, since my little
one was two months old, and am stiIi
using it. She likes it so well and it
agrees with her so nicely that we are
buying the hospital size for her. Little
vi was Fl months old the 18th Of
November, and weighs "a pounds.
which Is just three times as much as
when she was born. She held, her own
during teething time and the hot sum-
ner weather, and in the last three
months has gained three pounds. She
is the life Of the house. Is strong and
healthy, and feel sure we owe it to
the use of lactated food.",s7

Judge BrilPs Decision in the Fergus
Falls Case.
Judge Brill filed a rather important
decision yesterday. in the case Of the
Fergus Falls Milling Company VS. The
Western Union Telegraph Company.
In granting the defendants motion for
a new trial, the court attached the fol-
lowing memorandum:
The law seems to be settled that when
party makes an offer by telegraph. the de-
livery OF the answer accepting the offer to the
Telegraph company for transmission completes
q contract. The telegraph company is the
agent OF the party at whose instance 1t Is
proposed as means Of communication in the
particular instance. 1t appears in this case
pialntin had made by telegraph a previous
oner Tor the purchase of a similar amount of
wheat, which offer had been refused by the
elevator company. That negotiation was there
by terminated. The offer afterwards made by
the elevator company to the plaintiff was the
opening OF new negotiation; the telegraph
company was the agent of the elevator COM
pany IN that negotiation, and when plaintiff
deposited with the defendant it's acceptance
OF the ofer, the contract was closed and the
elevator company was bound notwithstand-
ing the error Of defendant in transmitting the
message. II this is correct and an examina-
tion OF the evidence and the authorities con-
yinces me that it must be so held, then de-
fendants mistake did not in law cause plain
TIN any damage, and plaintiff cannot recover
in this action"

In an order filed yesterday Judge
Otis denies motion made by the Ca

Of r. Marston & Co. against the 800"
and Canadian Pacific lines. The mo-
ton required that judgment be entered
contrary to the verdict, or that a new
trial be granted. In memorandum
attached to the order the judge said:
The most serious question on this motion
Il whether the court erred in charging that
the provision Of the transportation contract
making notice of claim for damages served
IN writing on an officer or nearest station
agent condition precedent to plaintiffs right

and void The point of destination was be-
yono the road Of the party in whose name
the contract was made, and whose officer or
station agent was to be notified; as also be-
yond the road of this moving defendant. It
GOES not appear that either Of these compan-
les had an officer or station agent at the point
OF destination, and the presumption is that
they did not have. The provision was there

TWO NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS
WANT $4,000 FROM THEIR
WHILOM PROSECUTORS.
HOBBS AND o'coNNELL SAY
THEY WILL MAKE 1T WARM
FOR THOSE WHO PURSUED
THEM.
HARDWARE FIRM AT HOPE, N. d.
Is the Party In Chief on the Side
of the Defense-CuriOus
Mix-Up.

T. S. Hobbs and j. r. O'Connel, the
two young farmers who have been en-
gagged in fighting extradition proceed
ings in st. Paul for the past week and
half to prevent their return to North
Dakota, where 1t is claimed they are
wanted for the removal Of mortgaged
property. have turned upon their pros
ecutors, or prosecutors as they term
the parties who have caused them so
much trouble, and are themselves to
assume the aggressive side in a new
legal battle.
Mr.. Hobbs stated yesterday that he
and O'Connel, through their attorney,
G. d. O'Brien, were about to bring
suit for $4,000 damages against the
parties who had caused their arrest and
detention in this city and that they
would remain in st. Paul until the
October term Of court to push their
suits as assiduously as the parties who
will be made defendants had prose-
cuted them.
Luce, Warner and Looney, hardware
dealers Of Hope, N. D., Mr.. Hobbs
stated, would be made defendants in
the action because one of the firm,
Warner, had been responsible for their
arrest in st. Paul.
Warner, 1t Is claimed, wired Chief
OF Police Goss to arrest Hobbs and
O'Connel in the first instance and at
once started for st. Paul to identify
them. In the meantime the men had
secured their release on writs of f1a-
beas corpus, but when Warner arrived
he at once attached car load of goods
which the young men had at the Min
nesota transfer and swore out a war;
rant charging Hobbs with being a
fugitive from justice. Hobbs was ar
raigned in the police court and held
In $4,000 bonds until the arrival Of a
Dakota sheriff with requisition papers.
The sheriff came and SO did the pa
pers, but Gov. Clough refused to honor
them and yesterday Hobbs was dis
charged by Judge Orr. When Warner
attached the car load Of goods Sher-
if Chapel required him to also give a
bond of $500 to insure his remaining
in the city to attend the hearing of
the case and he was in the police court
yesterday. Just as he was preparing
to leave the room Mr.. Hobbs attorney
served notice Of the damage suits upon
him.
A peculiar feature of the entire pro-
ceedings against Hobbs and O'Connel
is the fact that none Of the members Of
the firm who appear to desire their re-
turn to North Dakota are the holders
OF the mortgage which has caused all
of the trouble. Mr.. Hobbs stated yes
sterday that the mortgage was held by
man named Rugg, and that he
could not understand the action of
Messrs.@ Warner and Looney in the
matter.
