An interesting trolley suit was won by
Former Prosecutor William B. Gourley
of Passaic a few days ago, before Judge
Dixon at Hackensack, on a point that 1T
is claimed, puts the plaintiff beyond re-
dress. Counselor Gourley represented
the New Jersey Electric Railway Com
pany, which Operates a trolley line be-
tween Hoboken and Paterson, which was
being sued by Mary Uhlig of Homestead
for $4,000 damages.
About a year ago Mrs. Uhlig's nus
band, while driving a load of manure
across the trolley track near Homestead,
was struck by a car and had his neck
roken Mrs. Uhlig sued for the loss of
her husband, and the case was brought
up at the asst term, but an adjournment
was secured by Counselor Gourley.
When the case was brought up before
Judge Dixon at Hackensack, Lawyer
Gourley was granted a non suit. on the
ground that the tracks were owned by
the Jersey City, Hoboken and Ruther-
ford Railroad Company at the time of
the accident, and not the defendant, the
New Jersey Electric Railway Company.
AS the years limit fixed by law has ex-
pired since the accident, the Jersey City,
Hoboken and Rutherford Railroad Com
pany cannot now be sued.

Bile is indeed wonderful, says the writer
in .sSt. Nicholas 1t is estimated that the
film in some places IL only one three
millionths of an inch in thickness. Let
me express it in another way. h Old
and the New Testament contain some
5000, 900 letters. Now one three-millionth
is such a part of an inch as the first
letter of the Bible is a part of the sum
of all it's letters.
The bubble, however, is not of equal
thickness at all points and it is for this
reason tina it has the various colors.
For instance, wherever the film is
orange-red it measures about three one-
millionths OF an irch; where it is blue,
eighty one-millionths of an inch; and at
a point where lemon-yeflow is prominent,
about twenty one-milionths Of an inch.
Perhaps you wonder why the colors
change from one part of the soap bubble
to another. This Is because the film of
the soap bubble evaporates and grows
thinner, but ~unequally so at different
portions. A greenish blue with a pale
rose-red spot near 1t indicates an ex-

same. as you may prove by looking
through a glass pendant from a hanging

TAKEN AT HIS WORD.
How General Scott Settled the Inn
patient Captain Toombs.


When General Robert Toombs. of Geor-
gia, was a young man in his twenties he
raised a volunteer company and Joined
General Scott, who was then conducting
a campaign against the Indians in Flor
ida. Even in his early youth Toombs was
noted for his s-elf-confdence and his ag-
gressive bearing. He was without mill
tary training. and had never submitted
where else. Naturally, when he met Gem
they would not mix.
The General knew the character of his
red enemies, and he was in no hurry to
attack them in the positions which they
had chosen. He waited, day after day, de-
termined not to move forward until he
was satisfied that he would be successful
without the sacrifice Of many valuable
lives. This delay did not suit the Georgia
Captain. He fretted, fumed and swore at
the slow methods of his commander.
One night Toombs felt that he could
stand it no longer. Going to the Generals
tent, he found Scott engaged in a pleasant
conversation with a dozen officers of high
rank. General Scott greeted him pleasant
ly, and invited him to join the circle of
military men who were telling stories of
camp life.
General Scott" said Toombs in a stern
tone, Il desire to know. sir, whether the
army will march against the enemy with
in the next few days.,
I'm not ready yet to answer that queS-
ton" replied the General with a smile.
Then, sir" continued the youthful Cap
tain, Il will notify you that unless the
army marches tomorrow | propose to go
heart of the Indian territory
When this astounding declaration was
made the officers expected the General to
administer a whitening ebuke To their
establishment Scott never changed his
genial expression. His eye twi1lkled with
good humor, and he turned a serene and
benignant face upon his audacious
visitor.
very well, Captain" was his quiet an
swer in a soothing tone, use your own
pleasure, by all means. Take your com
pany tomorrow and march into the Indian
country We may fellow you a few weeks
later. But don't wait for us. Take your
company and go ahead. Good night, Cap
taini'
When Toombs heard this a look of be
wilderment came over his face, but not a
word fell from his lips. He saluted the
commander and bowed himself out.
Did he march his company against the
enemy the next day." was my natural
question.
mo; he said nothing more about it. He
remained at his post and was an exem-
plary officer during the remainder of the
war. And he was not chafred about the
affair either. He was not the man to
stand such Observation-Disclosures Times
