COURT ADJ0URNS.
Close OF the October Term-Yery Unin.
teresting Session-Large Amount of
Cbancery Business Transacted.

CDancefy BUSINESS transacted.
The October session of the circuit
court has ended. 1t adjourned Mon
day afternoon. This session was
probably the most uninteresting to
the general public of any which has
been held for years. But little law
business was done, few cases coming
up for consideration. The list of
chancery cases considered is the
largest disposed of for number of
years Judge Berkshire has as us
ual proved careful and painstaking
judge. He has only weighed every
thing before rendering his decision.
On the last day of court Michael
Rich, an Italian, took out his natur-
ization papers. Besides this Judge
Berkshire pronounced judgment on
the verdict of the case of Rebecca
Moore VS. Lindsay Moore's admir-.
This case was the only civil case to
be tried by jury during the term.
No other law business was transact
ed. The chancery business disposed
of since our last report is as follows:

John Hook, an old hunter of
Capon Bridge Hampshire county,
while hunting for squirrels Saturday
could not withstand the temptation
to shoot a deer which crossed his
path. 1t was a fine animal, weigh
ing 204 pounds, and he had to en-
ploy horse and wagon to get it
home. He then informed on himself
before Justice +. C. Holt and paid
$50 fine for violating the game law,
which says that no deer shall be
killed until October Is, 1901. Hooks
friends claim that half the fine should
have been returned to him, as the
law stipulates that half Of the fine
goes to the informer.

President Crogan Anticipates the
Meeting.
the


In making careful survey of the
field of legal questions now confront
ing State and Nation, does it not oc-
cur TO any of us that the annual meet
ing OF the West Virginia Bar AS
ISOLATION TO be held at Morgantown,
is an occasion that should bring to-
gether a larger attendance of bench
and bar, Shan any meeting yet held
In the history Of the Association.
The very point of meeting, alone,
under the shadow OF the State Uni
versity, where we can touch elbows
with faculty and students, is sutfi-
eient guarantee to make the meet
ing one of much more than ordinary
interest and profit.
The legal atmosphere of the State
and OF the country was never more
ablaze with intricate, delicate and
vital questions. Questions which
lawyers, conservative and radical,
must handle and deal with, and that
soon. Questions which judges es-
pecially are called upon in hot haste
to dispose OF, and are being severely
criticised for action and monaco
tion
The fundamental law of the state,
is about to be remodeled by the peo-
ple--skilled and unskilled In such
matters.
Hitherto political questions are as
Stunning legal aspect, while legal
questions are drifting into the do
main of politics. All of those mat
ter should be, and many of them will
be, discussed at the next Bar meet
ing.
Besides the various other topics of
interest to come before the Associa-
tion, rs shown by the program pub
lisheI in this issue of The Bar, the
address of Judge Seymour ID. Thomp-
son, Of st. Louis, both on account
of the ability and personality of the
man, and the Importance or the SUBJ
ject, Judicial Supremacy = will be
one We'll worthy OF the closest atten-
tion and consideration, and Of intense
interest. Can anyone hesitate to say
that it should not only be read but
heard by every lawyer in the state,
and more especially every judge?
And can there be any doubt, from
the subject selected, that the address
will touch most forcibly upon the
subject now familiary known as
Government by Injunction" and
on the income tax decisions, and sim
liar vital constitutional questions?
1t is confidently expected that the
resident Federal judges OF the SUI
preme Court Of this state, and many
distinguished lawyers from sister
states, who have been especially in
yited, will be in attendance.
If the circuit court judges all over
the State would make it special
point to be with us, and they need
no special invitation to come, many
Of them being already members, and
all OF them should be, | say, II they
would all come, then with a full
bench and bar with our distinguished
guests, and the decided influence Of
our highest institution of learning.
there can be no doubt that the meet
ing would be one OF the most prof1ta-
bic as well as enjoyable ever held by
the Association, II not by any other
body in the state
s.Come let us reason together"

Fight With , fatanonut.
Magnesium independent.

Z. M. Hopton had rather trying
experience last week while out on
the river hill. Hearing an unusual
noise he looked in the direction from
whence the sound seemed to come
and discovered large catamount
rapidly descending a tree, and no
sooner did it strike the ground
than with tail erect, back bumped up
and eyes glazing, it at once made for
him. Being armed with a shotgun
he at once opened fire. The first
charge only seemed to cut away the
small underground of bushes and
poke berries, thus giving him a bet
ter view of the hideous creature; the
second charge did better execution,
woundlng it badly, and then Selling
a club he succeeded in dispatching
the enraged creature. Recently Mr.
Honsucker, of Fayette county, had a
similar encounter with one of these
mountain cats, and although he was
in buggy, it gave him quite chase,
and he only succeeded in getting the
better of it by the free use OF his
revolver. The last one killed is
supposed to be the formers mate.

STYLES of s1eeves-the long sleeves made
of lace or other transparent fabric, the
three-Quarters length, finished at tho
elbow with lace frill, and the short
sleeve, which is usually double puff

three shades of one color is popular

shades of blue are also effectively used
on white gowns. Violet is employed
with blue, and there are other unique

selection of shades to insure harmony
Net leads in materials for evening
gowns and is made up over silk or satin.
Tulle and chiffon continue fashionable
and are similarly employed. Transparent
materials are in high favor, and the
shops provide lace and net skirts already
shaped and finished for use. Ingenious
women find these pattern affairs exceed
ingly convenient, for combined with
old silk and satin dresses an elegant
gown is achieved without too great eX'
pense. Sometimes the lace is used only
on the bodice and sleeves. A successful
evening gown in yellow brocade may
be mentioned as an example. The low
bodice is draped with jeweled chiffon

front and crossing at the back
Sashes are worn on evening gowns;
also Oh other house dresses. They are
made of chiffon, net, tulle and fancy

Low Water Alarm.

platinum wire ends are let into the
sides of the tube above the normal po-
sition of the mercury, one being attach
ed to the fitting and the other to the in
sulated binding screw at the top, theirs
being thus but one wire to the bell and
battery So long as the water is high
enough it maintains its position in the
pipe, and the mercury is kept below the
wire ends, but should the water fall be-
low the line the pipe fills with steam,
the mercury rises above the wire ends
and an electrical circuit is formed and
the alarm bell sounds continuously IN
til the water is again above the danger

Tennyson's Religion.

1t was fortunate, says Mr.. Mable IN
The Atlantic, that Tennyson S biography
was not prepared by a biographer who
was anxious to minimize the religious
element in his life. On the contrary, 1T
is thrown into the boldest relief, and
the reader is let into those profound
convictions which gave the laureate's
poetry such depth and spiritual splen-
dor The whole subject is dealt with,
in connection with In Memoriam, y
with the most satisfying fullness. In
this vale of time the hills Of time often
shut out the mountains OF eternity, y
Tennyson once said The nobility of his
verse had it's springs in those noun
tains, and they inclosed and glorified
the landscape of life as he looked over
it. He refused to formulate his faith,
but he has given it an expression which
is at once definite and poetic, illuIlin-
ating and enduring 81 hardly dare
name-his name, he writes, but take
away belief III the self conscious person
atty of God, and you take away the
backbone of the world. - And again,
ION God and godlile men we build our
trust. a week before his death, his son
tells us, he talked long Of the personality
and love of God-"that God whose eyes
consider the poor -" Who catereth even
for the sparrow For myself, he
said on another occasion, 1.-The world is
the shadow of God. In his case, as in
Wordsworth and Browning's, poetry
issued out OF the deepest springs Of be-
ing, and lie made it great by commit
ting to it the expression of the highest
truth.
To a young man going to university
he said, 1.-The love of God is the true
basis of duty; truth, reverence, loyalty,
love, virtue and work, and he added
Enthusiastically. but don t be prig. "
Through his verse, as through his life,
there ran this deep current Of faith, but
the expression of it was free from the
faint and distortion of dogmatic or &C.
clesiastical phrase.

a nnssian Translation Of Dickens.

The quizzically expanded metaphors
and idiomatic, slangy expressions i'll
the sprightly comical parts of the book
c'Dombey and Son. have sometimes
naturally proved too hard nuts for the
honest foreigner to crack. A ludicrous
instance of such a fiasco occurs in chap
ter 2, where Mr.. Chicks matrimonial
chickering's with his better half form the
theme of our inimitable humorist's
sportive and allegorical muse. "Often,
when Mr. Chick seemed beaten, he
would suddenly make a start, turn the
tables, clatter them about the ears Of
Mrs Chick and carry all before him. :"
The Russian rendering of this sentence,
which retranslate verbatim, runs, "Of-
ten, when Mr.. Chick seemed beaten, he
would start up from his seat, catch hold
of chairs and make clatter close to the
ears of his astonished spouse and fling
about everything that came ready to
hand" Well, indeed might the elegant
and ladylike Louisa show establishment
at such EN- phatic contributions to the
debate. Notes and Queries.

HE EXTRICATED HIS DIGITS FROM THE PASTRY

ers of such literature, he sits for an
hour or more, paying but little heed to
the victuals before him.
One day recently the novel fiend was
intensely interested in an especially
lurid hued novel His eyes would gilt
ter with excitement at times, and again
a scowl would overshadow his brow as
some book villain of deep dye would do
q dastardly deed. Suddenly he laugh
ed aloud in merriment and slammed his
fist down on the table i'll the exuberar"e
of his glee. 1t happened that a large
piece of pie was on the table just where
his fist landed. The rather odd dilemma
brought the man back to mundane
things, and amid bursts of laughter
from his table companions he extricated
his digits from the pastry, and, with the
aid of an improvised finger bowl, in the
shape of a large tumbler of water, be
succeeded in again assuming his normal
condition with perfectly clean hands
Nothing daunted he continued to read
and occasionally to eat.-Washington
