4 REASONABLE DECISION.

Law and common sense have come been made in the Appellate court at Chicago. A man named Leroy Harris was convicted in the United States court of feloniously obtaining a large sum of money from the government by means of forged postoffice orders. When arrested he had concealed on his person some thirteen hundred dollars, which was taken from him by Inspector Stuart. After his conviction of the forgeries he brought suit against In- spector Stuart in the state court to re- cover this identical money. On the trial In the superior court the jury found for the plaintiff, and an appeal was taken to the appellate court. The court has reversed the judgment below on the ground that the case was not properly proved, and Justice Waterman laid down the principle of law which governs in such cases.
 If the money taken from the prisoner is the same money he feloniously ob- tained as a matter of course he can- not recover 1t from the officers because it is not his, but the court goes further. If the money so taken is the fruit of his crime, only in another form, he can- not recover it. If, for instance, he had deposited the money obtained by his forgeries in bank, and then drawn other money out, and this latter had been taken from him by the officers, he could not have recovered 1t. The money belongs to the government from whom 1t was feloniously taken, so long as it can be clearly traced.
 Several interesting cases were cited as authority. Where man stole a bank note of g50 and converted a part of it into silverware, which he had in his possession, with the remainder of the money, it was decided that the owner of the bank note could recover the specific articles and the change which were the proceeds of the note. Where a servant stole gold and changed it into silver money it was held that the owner of the gold could recover the specific silver. So where stolen money has been converted into bonds the lat ter may be recovered by the parties from whom the money was stolen.

These handsome braid effects are a fashion that has grown slowly, so there is nothing surprising In it, but a new style of trimming that has come upon us suddenly and that evidently means to remain all summer is rather start ling. It is seen in the use of velvets and velveteens on gowns for late spring wear. These new limitations of velvet are especially hard to resist. Old Fogy doesn't like 'em, and pleads in behalf of the rutnously expensive real article that fit lasts forever" Just as if the summer girl, and she it is who domi- mates fashions just now, wanted her dress to last Good wear for a little while Is what she wants, and then a clear conscience about throwing the material away entirely Of all null sances, according to these up-to-date damsels, it is the worst to have to chain ones self down to making over rich material that we are sick and tired of, and yet really dare not throw away because It Is so good" These velvety weaves that are not velvet are good helps toward carrying out this doctrine
 Chatelaines in all sorts of brazen abundance are being shown, and are worn so much as to deserve mention. Too often they are in very bad taste. harness-like, rattling and ugly. It is quite evident that the handsomely modelled tops of the side bags that used to be so fashionable have in many cases been made use of for these chate- laine tops. It is not unusual to see one extending from the front of the bodice edge almost round to the hip and dan gling from the heavy gold CT silver foundation, from chains of different lengths, are all manner of utterly use less knick-knacks. There you'll see a watch-nice way to carry a decent watch! a bonbonierre pair of scis- sors, a vinaigrette, even an opera glass in its case, a lorgnette, purse, a coin box, little mirror, drinking cup, and so on. Why not tooth brush, razor, boot jack and box of pills?

A curious case will soon be tried at Atchison, Kansas. The other day Will liam Dutch died and was buried. Af- ter the funeral Mrs. Dutch found among her husbands papers a written agreement between himself and Fred Buebnsr, the undertaken at Netawaka, through which each agreed to pay the funeral expense of the one who died first Mrs. Dutch had already paid for the coffin for her husband, but she sent the bill to MT. Buebner. He responded that he was ready to pay the wholesale price of the casket, as that is all it would have cost him if he had been in- formed in time to furnish it, according to agreement. This, 1t is said, Mrs. Dutch will refuse, and try to enforce the collection of the full amount in court.

Minnesota has comparatively few paupers, but recent report from the Board of Corrections and Charities shows an increase in the ratio. A cen sus of the paupers of the state is taken in June and December each year. The ratio of the paupers of the State to the million of inhabitants in June, 1890, was S,911; in June, 1896, 1t was 4,996. The figures for December, 1890 and 1895, were 5,723 and 1885, respectively. This is an increase of g per cent. in each case. As is shown by the figures, the winter pauper population is about 50 per cent. greater than that of June
 This increase is found almost entirely in the urban counties, the rural com munities showing little change at the different seasons. The increase in the ratio of the State over the figures of 1890 Is due largely to the three urban counties. Their ratio at stated dates was as follows: June, 1890. 4,140; June, 1896, S,310; December, 1891, 7,2S0; De- cember, 1895, 14,205; in each instance an increase of 100 per cent. For the same dates the increase in the seventy-eight

There are twenty-eight thousand white people and only eighteen thou sand negroes in the city of Augusta, Georgia, but while only thirty-two whites died of consumption there last year, sixty-four negroes succumbed to that disease. Dr. Eugene Foster, pres ident of the Board of Health in giving these figures, says that before enamel patton the colored race was almost wholly immune from consumption, a negro with consumption, prior to the close of the war, being clinical curios- ity. "This new susceptibility of the negro race to consumption, he says, ''is one of the numerous penalties fol- lowing upon the changed relations of this people consequent to the boon of freedom"
