The Chesapeake Mill.

In the July St. Nicholas there is an
article on "The Chesapeake Mill" by
William Abbatt, accompanied by pic
ture of the interesting old building, prob
ably the first one ever printed. Mr.
Abbatt says:
If there is naval fight in our history
about which every schoolboy ought to
know-to use an expression of which
historians are rather fond-it is the sea-
fight between our man-ofwar "Chesa-
peake" and the British Shannon" off
Boston harbor, on the 1st OF June, 1918.
1t has been so often told that | will not
tell it over again except in the briefest
way. The Chesapeake was captured,
chiefly or altogether through the mutt
nous conduct of part of her crew, who
refused to work the cannon on her lower
deck at all. Captain Lawrence and Lieu
tenant Ludlow were killed or, to be exact,
the captain died of his wounds four days
after the loss OF his ship, and the Shan
non took her prize into the harbor oil
Halifax, where her arrival caused the
greatest rejoicing.
The dying words of Lawrence, as he
was carried from the deck, Don't give
up the ship!" have been familiar to our
boys and girls for more than 80 years.
|
1t is these words that make the combat
most memorable. They are a good
motto in every trouble of life. Don't give
up the ship-don't despair, lose heart,
surrender, but take courage, and, like
General Grant, Fight it out on this line
if it takes all summer"

Halifax harbor all trace of her dis

Summer.
BY SIDNEY II. HATCH.

Spring only yesterday was here;
'Twixt evening and the dawn of day
To lands remote, with no goodbye"
With silent steps she took her way.
A smiling matron came this morn,
Arrayed in garments left by spring,
Minerva-like, full grown was born.
Thus Summer came on noiseess wing.
She calls the mowers to the field
Where the sweet scented clovers bloom,
Whose ruby tints delight the eye
And load the air with rich perfume
Dame Summer brings the heated rays,
Maturing grass and fruit and grain,
Rearing the songsters' callow brood,
To cheer us with their sweet refrain.
The drowsy herds seek forest shade
For shelter from the noontide ray,
Where hide and seek" from morn till eve
The happy, blithesome squirrels play.
The farmer scans with cheerful heart
The promise of an ample yield
A rich reward for faithful toll
In orchard, garden and in field.
So Summer tolls by night and day
On every sea and in all lands
Till her allotted task is done
And is consigned to Autumns hands.

A Receiver Not a Shield.
Judge Arnold Rules That InsoIvent Corpora.
lions Have Not Peculiar Legal Rights.

President Judge Arnold, of Com
mon Pleas Court, No. 4, Philadelphia,
on Monday handed down an opinion
determining the lien of mortgage
upon the property Of corporation IN
the hands of receiver in which the
decision is to regard an insolvent cor
poration as an insolvent individual,
and to enforce a first mortgage as
rigidly upon the former as upon the
latter. The opinion is important, in
that under the prevalent practice of
receiverships it has been held that
there was no such thing as a first
mortgage on railroad or other cor
poration.
The opinion was delivered in the
case Of the Real Estate Title Insur-
ance and Trust Company against the
Mahoning Rolling Mills Company.
The Mahoning Mills Company has
its rolling mills in Danville, Mon
tour county, Pa. There is a first
mortgage against its property for
$Ioc, 900, the interest on which has
been in default since May /, 1894.
In December, 1894, the president of
the company was appointed its re-
ceiver, with power to carry on the
business. In July, 1896, the Real
Estate Title Insurance and Trust
Company, as trustee for the bond
holders, applied to the Common Pleas
Court of Montour county for leave to
bring suit on the mortgage, and the
court granted the leave, but soon af-
terward revoked it. The suit was
commenced, however, and the re-
ceiver pleaded in defense that the
company was in his hands as receiver.
The suit was then brought in Com
mon Pleas Court, No. a. of this
county, and Judge Arnold's ruling is
that the leave to sue is not requisite,
and that the existence of a receiver is
no defense to mottgage. He says /:
4" Property in the hands of a re-
ceiver will be treated the same as if
it were in the hands of the Sheriff. If
the receiver is proceeding with proper
diligence to sell the property his pos
session will not be disturbed by any
other court. If, however, he is carry
ing on business with the property, he
cannot delay other creditors who have
a right to sue for and collect their
claims against it.
If the plea of a receivership is a
good defense to suit by the first
mortgage bondholders now, it may be
good forever, and thus there will be
both a delay and a denial of justice.
The assertion that when property is
placed in the hands of a receiver,
with authority to continue the busi-
ness, 1t is in the custody of the Court,
is mere legal fiction. If the bust
ness were being run by the Court, the
Court should be responsible for the
debts created in the business and sub
ject to suit therefor"
Judge Arnold proceeded then to
arraign the present practices of the
Courts, saying: "The truth is that
all the Court does is to restrain the
president and officers Of the corpora.
tion from the further conduct of its
business, and then appoint the presi-
dent a receiver to carry on the busl-
ness, instead of selling the property
and paying the indebtedness Of the
concern. When the receivers are
