New York. March 24-Presdent Fink,

ueclsaon against the Trans Niisaouri
FelSht Association, that 'the ruilroRds

ciation must disband by reason OF the
decision just rendered. The real ques-
ton Is whether all are in restraint of

one specific case and it is not fair to
argue that under it all the traffic asso-

The Board Of Managers or the Ioint
sion to-day. decided that IN view or the
uncertainty concerning the exact scope
or the supreme Courts decision in the
Trans Missouri case, the Joint Traffic
Association should continue in uIIerat icn.
The determination to maintain organi-

OF the several members of the board,
but upon the advice of James c.. Carter
OF counsel for the association, who this
morning notified Commissioner Banch-

the captain into al admission that the

that ltoloif was to so with him on the

his contract that the vessel was to be

Captain Hudson was recalled. He was
asked by the prosecution about q letter
written in March, 1885, by DR.. Luis to
John L. Smith. Hudson remembered the
letter, and a legal battle arose as to the
admissibility OF his recollection Of It's
contents
Judge Morris ruled TO admit it. and
Captain Hudson said, to the best Of his
recollection, the letter which was very
brief, was az follows: do you know IL
Captain Hudson is in town? II he l.,

jeweler sold to a man named McNair
diamond shirt stud, for which the
latter gave his note. The creditor sued
co-defendant under the statute She
demurred on the ground that a dia-
mond stud was not an expense for
which she was liable. The court be-
low sustained the demurrer. The ease
was carried to the supreme court and
Judge Laid rendered a decision which
was concurred in by the whole court
except Judge Robinson. Judge Laid
held that: THE make of the shirt or
the taste of the wearer may be such
as to require some kind of button
or stud. If the inexpensive pearl were
used no one would suggest making il
a family charge. But it might be as
much out of place on the shirt front

One of the greatest blessings that
Christmastide brings to us is the
Christmas spirit-the fulfilment to the
letter of the Christian law embodied
in the Golden Rule.
This is not Invariably the case, but
it is fortunately the rule in a great
number of cases. For a little while
a manufacturing the Christmas season,
we are turned away from all spirit of
avarice and selfishness. From the tiny
toddler, who has for the first time be-
gun to realize her responsibilities as a
member of the family, TO the grand
mother in her snowy kerchief and cap,
we are all plotting and planning Cor
others. Going to the greatest pains TO
conceal all our doings in order that our
gifts may be genuine surprises.
If We are members of Christian
churches, we have the poor with us
at this season. as at no other. We think
out their needs, 1t has been the rule in
Christian churches of late years TO &c.

LEGEND OF THE MACI.

The legend of the Wise Men of the
East or as they are styled in the ORR
ginal Greek, "the three Magi," became,
under monkish influence, one of the
most popular during the middle ages.
The Scripture nowhere informs us that
these individuals were kings, or their
number restricted to three. The legend
converts the magi into kings, gives their
names and a minute account of their
stature and the nature OF their
gifts. Melchior, we are thus told. was
king of Nubie, the smallest man of the
triad. and he gave the Savior a gift
of gold. Balthazar was king of Chal-
dea, and he offered incense; he was
man of ordinary stature. But the third,
Jasper, king of Tarshish, was of high
stature, "a black Ethiope." and he gave
myrrh All came with many rich or
uaments belonging to kings array, and
with a multitude of people to do hom-
age TO the Savior, then a little child IS
days old"
The barbaric pomp involved in this
legend made it a favorite with artists
during the middle ages. The picture Of
THE Offering of the Magi," which we
publish, is from circular plate of sill
yer chased in high relief and partly
gilt, which is supposed to have formed
the center of a morse or large brooch,
used to fasten the decorated cope of an
ecclesiastic in the latter part of the
fourteenth century
The Empress Helena, mother of Con
stantine the Great, found what she con-
sidered the burial place of the three
kings, and their remains were removed
to Constantinople and inferred in the
church of st. Sophia Later they were
removed to the Cathedral of Milan, and
in the twelfth century to Cologne, where
they still lie, in magnificent reliquary,
enriched with gems and enamels. These
relics are enveloped in velvet and dec

suit that not another death oc-
