suit brought by Maggie Curtin against
the Western Union Telegraph company
to recover for delay in delivery OF a cer-
tain telegram. Justice Barrett, who
gives the unanimous opinion or the
court, reversing the appellate term, con-
siders but one question, whether the
paintiff could recover damages for men
tai distress causing, as she claimed,
physical suffering. This question. the
court says. was the crucial one, and 1t
must be disposed of adversely to her,
both upon principle and authority. THE
law looks upon the strict physical in
jury alone" Justice Barrett says, and
the proxmate consequences of the negli-
gent act; not upon the secondary all
ment resulting from the primary me-
tai suffering. An injury to the feel
ings, independently, alone, is something
too vague to enter into the domain of
pecuniary damages; too illusive to be
left. in assessing compensation therefor,
to the discretion of a jury. The extent
and intensity of such injuries depend
largely upon individual temperament
and physical, mental, and nervous con-
ditions These conditions are shadowy,
unequal and uncertain in the extreme.
When they exist in connection with
physical injury, they can be examined
and tested. Existing alone and inde-
pendertly, they are easily simulated,
and the stimulation is hard to detect.
There is, In fact no genuine congruity
between pecuniary loss and isolated
mental pain. And If there were. there
is no certain means whereby such men,
tai pain can be fairly and accurately
compensated. New York Times.

THE PLENTIFUL kAINSTORM
The Fell for This Season Already Ex.
ceeds the Average
Over Two Inches of Rain in the Last
Storm-Streets in the Usual
Hopeless Condition

The weather bureau has given out the
following report in reference to the
present rain STORM
An area of low pressure was central
Monday morning off the north Pacific
coast. 1t was causing east to southerly
winds and general rain on the Pacific
slope. Heavy rains have fallen in the
vicinity of Conception and in Central
California. Up to the hour of observa-
ton at 5 o'clock yesterday morning the
rains were mostly light in Southern
California, but during the day heavy
rains fell in Los Angeles and vicinity. In
the extreme southern part of the state
the rainfall has been light, San Diego re-
porting but trace for the storm
There is but one report received daily
at the Los Angeles station, and this
showed that the rainfall for the past
twenty-four hours ending at 5 am Mon
day was a trace at San Diego, SO of an
inch at Los Angeles, 1.96 inches at San
Luis Obispo, so of an inch at Fresno,
1872 inches at San Francisco, Ito inches
at Red Bluff, so of an inch at Rose
burg, .04 of an inch at Portland, trace
at Seattle, .0S of an inch at Winnemuca
and 32 of an inch at Carson City, New.
The rainfall at Los Angeles for twenty
four hours ending at pm. yesterday
was 2.13 inches for the present storm,
which makes a total of 1924 inches rain
fall this season UP to date. This is
precipitation of about 1.5 inches more
than the average yearly rainfall.
Below for comparison the rainfall up
to the 31st day of January is given for

SLuSHY STREETS

With two or three thousand able
bodied men out of work, the present
condition of the streets is a standing
reproach to the fair name of Los Ange
les Many of the streets yesterday were
as usual impossible to any who did not
boast rubber boots up to their knees, or
who did not object to wet feet. The or
dinary golosh was of no avail tine mud
was too inviting for it, and therein it
showed a disposition to remain. The
street superintendent office is certainly
no sinecure these days, and if he could
put two or three hundred men to work
this morning to clear crossings, the ma
jority of taxpayers would certainly not
grumble, for they might thus escape
doctors bills and other serious incon-
Venences.
Street car traffic was on the whole not
much impeded. The Traction company
experienced little trouble and delay out
on Bush street. The motorman was the
most prayed for citizen yesterday, and
if he could find suspicion of crossin 8
anywhere, the ladies blessed his name.

DOINGS OF A CLEVER DOG

Spot is general favorite in Moline
ILL.,, and although ne signifies his appre-
citation of pats or words of kindness by
a gentle wagging of his tail, he neither
follows nor obeys anyone but his mas
ter.
The first time I saw him his master
requested him to shut the door, which
was wide open. He Immediately put
his nose behind it and closed it, but as
it did not catch he raised upon his
hind legs and threw his whole weight
of his body against it, and thus effectu-
ally shut it.
Go sit down there, Spot" said his
master, and he Immediately went to the
place indicated and sat down.
sit up, spot, and come to me" and
he rose from his sitting posture and stood
upon his hind feet and then walked in
an erect position to his master.
Lie down ard die" He Immediately
lay down at his masters feet and closed
his eyes, and appeared like one dead.
When his master slipped his right hand
under one side and his left under the
other, about the middle, to lift him up,
the dois did rot move a muscle, but his
body hung down as helplessly as
though he were really dead.
up, Spot" and he soon let us know
that he was worth dozen dead dogs.
Take a chair Spot" an dhe was soon
seated in the only vacant chair in the
room.
Now. wink one eye, Spot" and one
eye was accordingly winked without
ceremony.
If men are sitting and conversng in
his masters home he will take a chair
with the rest, and, what is somewhat re-
markable, he always turns his head
and keeps looking at the one who is
speaking as though paying the utmost
attention.
Many other performances of interest
could be related, but l think have said
sufficient to prove that Spot is an intelli-
gent dog.-Frank c. ELS, in Household

Col. Ferry >. Heath is so we'll known
to Cincinnatans that he re luires no in
PRODUCTION, nor will he require one in
Washington, where for g. number of
years he was one of the most popular
of spondents.
HE IS AN INDIANIAN.
He is a native Indianian, learned the
printing trade when a boy, ran small
paper somewhere in the Hoosier state,
and made a venture of two of the same
kind out in the Dakotas, or some other
one of the new northwestern states.
Finally he settled down in Washington
City, and built up a correspondence bu-
reau that laid the foundation for the
very comfortable fortune he subse-
quently acquired.
In 1894 he came to Cincinnati as the
president and general manager of the
Commercial Gazette, the latter connec-
ton continuing until last spring, when
he left this city, though retaining a
legal residence here until about the 1st
of the present month.
IN THE LAST CAMPAIGN.
In the campaign that preceded the st.
Louis convention he was one of the most
active supporters of Major Mckinley,
and after the Ohio man had been nom-
mated and national headquarters had
been established in Chicago. Mr.. Heath
was placed in charge of the literary bu-
reu, in which capacity he rendered most
valuab BILE service to the cause.
After the election, Mrs. Heath,
most charming women, a daughter of
Mrs. Margaret Conway, of Louisville, he
made tour of the Pacific coast and
Mexico, returning to this country just
before Christmas.
During the campaien of 1898 he was
very close to General Harrison, who was
elected president that year and it was
then generally supposed he would be
the private secretary, but "Lige" Hal
ford stepped in and captured the place.

STREET CAR MANNERS.

The South Side gentleman who lately
started out on crusade for a reform
in street car manners Is deserving OF
encouragement for several reasons. He
is quite right In saying that lately the
custom among men of rendering their
seats to women standing in the aisle5
has fallen off-so much so, indeed, that
even an old lady, unless she be visibly
infirm. may have to stand throughout
long street car trip, while several men
near at hand retain their seats and try
not to feel mean. OF course, circum-
stances alter cases, and man who is
Ill, say, need feel no moral call to arise
for the sake of robust, stout young
girl. But in the main the former fashion
Of courtesy to women Is to be favored.
1t is not so much question OF street
Car manners as Of manners In general
and of the comfort of the public at
large The fact is that what are called
manners serve a very useful purpose
in life. The innumerable little courte-
sizes and formalities which are inclden-
tai to the actions of people or breeding
materially lessen the frictions OF our
relations. They are the merest FORMS
and like the "Glad to meet you" which
nasses between newly introduced peo-
ple. they often involve literal untruths
Rut even when the words are meaning
less they constitute the handfest and
most expeditions way of getting on
with the world at large and of promoting
self respect and good nature
By all means let the men stick to the
policy of surrendering their seats to
the ladies. And let the ladies adopt
the rule OF responding to the courtesy
with a merely decent bow and word
of thanks Standing up in a jolting car
NAV not be the most enjoyable expert
ence in the world, but it is better than
feeling that you are helping to break
down the code of manners, and thereby
destroying the little amenities which,
worthless in themselves, do SO much to
make living an easier and more grace
ful task.-Chicago Record
