BUSY DAY In COURTS

Reese against the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western company Judge
Gunster said "a careful review of the
testimony satisfies us that the nom
suit was properly granted, and for the
reasons granted at the time" Reese
sued for damages for the death of his
17-yeGr-old boy who was killed by a
car in the mines, alleging that he was
squeezed to death at point where the
passage way between the RIB" and the
track was not of the width required by
law. The defense was a denial of this
ard the allegation Of contributory neg
ligence.
HORE'S PETITION QUASHED.
Judge Edwards, yesterday, made alb
solute the rule to quash the petition OF
Martin Hore, who contested the cleo
tion of John p. Kelly to the office of
alderman of the Eighteenth ward. In
his opinion Judge Edwards says: zone
of the essential requisites of a petition
to contest an election of the fourth
class, according to the act of assembly,
is that 1t shall be signed by twenty
five qualified electors who voted at the
election contested. 1t is just as inn
voted at such election as it is that they
should be qualified electors. 1t re-
quires no argument to convince us Of
this proposition. Recapitulating the
results indicated by the testimony, we
find that thirteen of the petitioners are
disqualified, leaving only nineteen
qualified electors who voted at the
election as signers of the petition, the
law requiring twenty-five. The rule to
quash the petition is made absolute
and the petition is quashed at the costs
of the petitioner" O'Brien & Kelly
are attorneys for the respondent.
n the case of Allan Lawrence
against the Scranton Traction company
the rule for a new trial was yesterday
made absolute. The plaintiff sues to
recover $4,000 for the death of his A.
year-old boy, who was killed by a troll
ley car on Adams avenue in 1894. The
defendants were defeated last fall and
applied for a new trial. Judge Gun
ster allows it on the ground that court
erred in admitting evidence of habitual
negligence on the part of the parents
in looking after the child.

its initiative cOlOration afforded. The
one-sided cOlOTation and the changes
in the position OF the eyes, etc,

with well known laws of evolution.
The common squid was observed
sleeping on several occasions. AT such
times it rests in an inclined position
on the tip OF its tail aud on the basal
parts Of the arms, which are punched
together and extended forward, so
that the head and anterior part OF the
body are raised from the bottom, so
as to give room for breathing. The
syphon tube is then turned to one
side. Under these circumstances the
color is darker and the spots more dis
tinct than when it is active, owing to
the expansion OF the brown and pur-
pie chrOmatophOrcs.

so MUCH TO LEARN.

So much to learn. Old Natures ways
OF glee and gloom with rapt amaze
To study. probe, and paint-brown earth,
Salt sea, blue heavens, their tilth and deartl
Birds. grasses, trees the natural things
That throb or grODe or pOise on wings.
So much to learn about the world
OF men and women! We are hurled
Through interstellar space awhile
Together. then the sob, the smile
Is sienced. and the solemn spheres
whirl lonesomcly along the years.
So much to learn from wisdom's store
OF early art aud ancient lore.
So many stories treasured long
On temples, tombs, and columns strong.
The legend OF old eld so large
And eloquent from marge to marge.
So much to learn about ones self;
The Gckle soul, the nimble eli
That masks as me; the shifty will.
The sudden valOr and the thrill:
TIE shattered thaft. the broken force
That seems supernal in its source.
And yet the days are brief. The sky
Shuts down before the waking eye
Has bid good-morrow to the sun;
The light drops low, and Life is done.
Good-by. goodnight the star-lamps burn;
So brief the time. so much to learn!

BOB TAYLOR'S ADDRESS.

GOternor Bob Taylor, &hU admir-.
ably blends the humorous and the
pathetic, thus closed his address OF
welcOttle To the President and party TO
the Nashville exposition
"In this land OF battlefelds and
fiionumcnts, In this land Of memories
touching ds the soldiers last tear ni
the white bosom bf his manhO0d's
bfide, in this land OF beauty and OF
sorrow, where the white tents OF
armies shrouded the hiils; new cities
have beeh built in quarter OF a-cen-
tury, and tIils Splendid industrial cx.
position, Which Is prophecy bf our
glory and power Ia the future, how
blossoms like a beautiful flower In the
track OF war; and IS a token OF eternal
peace and brotherhood between the
two sections.
Tennessee clasps hands with Ohlo
to-day, and the North and South are
ono and inseparable. Mason's and
Dixon's line is still there, but thank
God, it is no longer the open mouth Of
death which once swallowed up the
best and bravest sons OF the nation.
Time has closed its bloody lips, and
how it is the red scar Of honor across
the breast Of the republic which
marks the unity OF our once divided
country.
"We greet our guests with the
ardent hope that every hour Of their
mingling with our people may be as
sweet as ass0ne and delightful as d
glass,of sparkling wine.
II congratulate iby State and the
South, and the whole COUNTY, Upon
the fact that the ruler Of the greatest
naticn of the world, accompanied by
the FIRST lady Of the land, and BY mem;
bers OF his cabinet and Others who
are distinguished in the councils ofi
the nation, prompted by tleir zeal for
the happiness Of the people alta the
deyelopment0f our wealth, have stolen,
away from the patriotic pilgrims, who
are, still In Washington, pinlng for the.
Presidents autograph, to listen to the
music fot Southern progress and see
tlie salvation Of tire Lord.
N pledge them the honor OF Ten1
nessec, that while they remain In our
borders the tariff question shall be
outlawed by our hospitality and the
money question shall be strangled by
our courtesy. And when they depart
from us we will pin upon the lapels
OF the President and each one OF his
party swcet-for-get-me-nOt."

SNEERlNG AT THE LOCAL PAPER
In every community there are those
who are disposed to sneer at and dis
count the local home paper, and never
give it a word OF praise or encourage
ment. The following from the Lake
Charles Press is timely in this partic-
ular: whenever you hear a man
snecring at the local paper, saying
there is nothing in it, that it is not as
big, cheap or newsy as the city pa
pers, you can safely wager that he
does not squander his wealth in help
ing to make it better, and most likely
owes a years subscription. Generally
that same paper has done ten times as
much for such a man as he has ever
done for the paper" or course we
have no such people in this locality
but there are some places where just
this thing is done, and the sneerers
are either borrowers of the paper OF
they are delinquent in their subscrip
tiOnS.

CANINE LAURIE"

From "A Literary Pilgrimage" by Theo. F. Wolfe.
Ia charming book OF travels by
Theodore +. Wolfe, We find lovely
account Of Annie Laurie. Most per-
sons think she IS only a musical crea-
tion in the song so widely known, but
she really lived in Scotland, at the
ancient manor house of MaxwcltOn.
She was born on December Is, 1852.
Her father was Robert Laurie, and
Jean Riddle, her mother. In the last
century, much of the venerable ediace
was destroyed, but the older portion
remains intact since Annie Laurie
dwelt there. Her boudor is in the
second story Of the tower. A por-
trait Of her hangs there-an impress
sively beautiful woman, large tender
eyes, long oval features and pro-
fusion OF dark brown hair. Her hands
like her "fairy feet" were OF eXccp-
tional smallness aud beauty. The
lover who immortalized her was Will.
liam Douglass, of England. He met
her at a ball in Edinburg, and they
were so attracted to each other that
her father took her home out of his
way. He followed her to Nithodale,
and they met in "Maxwelton's bonnie
braes." She gave "her promise true"
and he went off to the wars. He
wrote the song "Annie Laurie" 1t Is
different in the original. When he
came back, lie found her the wife
Of anothcr-Alexander Ferguson-a
wealthy laird near by; lived to be IS
years Of age and is buried in the
churchyard of Glcncarn. We copy
the song as originally written. The
improvement in it is by Lady Scott"
Marvellous braes are bonnie,
Where early fa's the dew,
Where me and Annie Laurie
Made up the promise true;
Made up the promise true,
And ne'er forget will I;
And for Bonnie Annie Laurie
Id lay down my head and die.
She's backit like peacock,
She's breastit like a swan;
She's jimp about the middle;
Her waist ye wcel may span;
Her waist ye wecl may span
She has i rolling eye;
And for Bonnie Annie Laurie
Id lay down my head and die.
