SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.
The following decision was received
from the law court yesterday:
CUMBERLAND COUNTY.

Simeon Laroche vs.. Oren.T. Despeaux.
Rescrlpt by Judge Walton. We are in
formed by the bill of exceptions in this
case that the action is replevin for soda
fountain and that the question sub
mitted to the court, who tried the case
without jury, was whether the soda
fountain was covered by mortgage
given by the plaintiff to one Nelson
Gagne and the court was asked to rule,
as matter Uf law, that the mortgage
covered the soda fountain. he court had
already found as a matter of fact that the
soda fountain at the date of the mortgage
was the property of third party, and
was not intended to be covered by the
mortgage. and declined to rule as re-
quested, and decided the case in favor of
the plaintiff.
Exceptions lie to rulings upon ques-
tons of law only, and not to findings up
on questions of fact. And the bill Of ex-
ceptions to be available, must show clear
ly and distinctly that the rulings ex-
cepted to was upon point of law, and
not upon a question of fact nor upon a
question in which law and fact were SO
blended as to render it impossible to tell
on which the adverse ruling was based.
The Dill of exceptions In this case shows
no distinct rulingson question of law.
The material facts having bean found
against the defendant, refusal to rule
that this mortgage did cover the soda
fountain was inevitable. Practically il
was no more than refusal to decide the
case in favor of the defendant after
having decided all of the material facts
against him. Exception overruled.

Laundering Table Linen.

Before washing each piere should be
separately examined for stains and frayed
spots. To facilitate the laundry work,
as well as to prevent stains from becom-
ing permanent, they must be completely
removed from the linens before These are
placed In the tub.
Fruit stains disappear if rubbed with
butter and soalded by pouring water from
the boiling kettle through the spot, the
linen treated being helds over howl.
Wine stains are taken out by dipping
them in a pan of boiling water in which
a spoonful of ammonia has been dis
solved. Chocolate and cocoa stains are
removed by thiokly soaping them and
then rinsing them in warm water
Iron rust is more obstinate and requires
stronger treatment, treatment, how
ever, that only the most careful and re-.
liable laundress should be allowed to
adopt. Lndesd, this share of the work is
best done by the owner of the linen, or
under her personal superyisioD.3 For she,
more than any one else, will see that all
needful precautions are taken. She will
look to it that the pan of boiling water
Is Ou uuo range Od'ty 4Ot s1Al mouldlC uS0,
that only the spot itself is moistened
with cold water, and that not grain of
the salts of lemon that she spreads over
It in thin layer and watches rs it slow
II dissolves shall by any chance fall
elsewhere on the cloth. She will see that
it is at once rinsed in the boiling water
and Immediately exposed to the hot sun
or pressed with hot iron. She will be
careful TO do all this, because she knows
that she is applying strong aoid, and
| that hole Is worse than stain. She
will remember too that the term "salts

is in reality nothing else than powdered

CURRENT COMMENT.
SPEAKER REED AND. JERRY SNIP.
Boston Globe.

The man from Maine gained new dis
tinotion as an orator by his apt and well
considered response TO the criticisms
made by Congressman Simpson regard
Ing the Speakers methods of conducting
she business of the House of Representa-
tiveS.
In declaring that the Speaker pursued
and could pursue no policy which the
majority of the House disapproved, Tom
Reed has indubitable fact TO support his
assertion. Whether or not Senator
Hoar's disparagin0 references to House
methods, IN his recent article in the
Forum, are justifable is question open
to debate. But the mem hers of the popu-
lar branch sssuredly have it within their
power existing usages, whenever ma
jority so desire.
Observing men of all political opinions
will agrees generally that in the Simpson
episode Speaker Reed came out decided
ly on top.

to recall the promises made in 1877 to

of that year: "Wes(the Turkish govern

NOT GUILTY OF THE CHARGE
Henry George Democrats Claim
ed His Support.
MISCONSTRUED HIS WORDS
His Complimentary Remarks of the Candidate
Did Not Mean an Endorsement
and He So States

New York, Oct. 1S.-The campaign
committee Of the Jeffersonian democracy
is out today with statement that Will
liam Jennings Bryan is in favor of Hen
ry George for the first mayor of Greater
New York. They base their statement
upon an interview which appe AIRED in
the Evansville Qnd.) Courier on Oct. 8,
and which was only discovered today.
On Oct. Mr.. Bryan delivered an ad-
dress in Evansville, and afterwards he
was interviewed on the situation in New
York City.
According to the paper mentioned this
Is one Of the qeustions asked and the
reply made:
do you thinkHenry George will be
elected mayor of Greater New York;"
think he has splendid chance of
being the next mayor of New York. He
DIS well pnown to the people of New York
City. The masses believe in him and
will support him at the polls. I do not
think national issues will cut much fig
ure in the New York election, the fight
is on local issues. Personally Mr.
George is a magnetic man, and has fine
executive ability. He will make an ex-
cellent mayor and will inaugurate many
reforms in New York City.
No letter or telegram has been received
by amy of the George managers that
would corroborate the abov statement
and so far he has been silent on the sub
ject of the situation here.
In spite of that fact the greatest en-
tthusiasm was manifested around the
George headquarters when the above an
nouncement was typewritten and hung
upon the bulletin boards. 1T Is the gen.
eral belief that Mr.. Bryan will be heard
from in day or two.

New York Cotton Market.

New York, Oct. 1S-After making a
steady start at to points advance on
a better class OF early cables than ex-
pected the cotton market became I'M
settled and very weak, following disap-
pointing later cables, public and private,
the latter indicating a bearish feeling
abroal as the result of advices from this
side predicting a very heavy movement
at the ports and interior. Advices from
the south tended to justify these claims.
The demand from spot buyers was slack
and offered no encouragement to those
who have been looking for support in
this direction. The print cloth market
was equally destitute of promise. At
Fall River the lowest price in the history
of the print cloth market was reported
Saturday. Liquidation of cotton flu
lures became very active early today
and continued so throughout the ses-
sion Selling for short account was on
a scale that indicated increasing con-
fidence on the part of the bars. From
the highest price in the morning to the
lowest price in the afternoon the market
showed a decrease of 10 points. Shorts
appeared to be about the only buyers.
The market was finally steady at a net
decline of to 10 points.

Dry Goods.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Dry goods show
less life than they did last week. The
trading today was not of great extent
and prices in all cotton lines suffered
from the low rates prevailing for print
cloths and similar gray goods. The
weather has been an uncomfortable fac
tor in the situation, also the distribution
being reported light in nearly all Sec
tions. Collections remain good. Brown
cottons as a rule were easy to purchase
without any very heavy demand being
reported. Heavyweight goods for ex-
port are still in quiet request. Coarse
colored goods in denims dull and quiet,
with an easy market prevailing; other
lines inactive and buyers find less diff
ficugty in securing amounts of their own
figures than they did last week. The
low prices for print cloths, 2ssc, failed
30 quicken sales. 49,.

inent buying. West Australian shares
were buoyant. A feature was sharp
rise in Argentine rails. Americans were
better and the tone at the close was
steady. The opinion here on the mar
ket is that the shake out in New York
is practically over. Dealers, however,
do not back their opinions with much
buying. apparently preferring to await
a more definite lead from New York.
Gold is in strong demand from Russia

high as to forbid buying for New York

Stock Letter

New York, Oct 1S.-The market open
ed up and after the initial advantages
were lost by profit taking, there were
renewed purchases for the short ac-
count and recoveries were general. SUI
gar advanced to 140h and Consolidated
Gas 21s points. The sugar market af-
forwards, however, sold down to 1894,
then rallied and went to 141h, closing at
1413s. The railway shares responded
fractionally although the C. c. c. and
st. L. stock gained u to u per cent.
Tobacco advanced IN per cent and the
market became narrow, although the
trading element was active on the long
side and bid up prices quite freely on
the belief that the decision in the Ne
brasxa maximum rate case would not
be handed down today. Stop orders
were encountered in Sugar at the high
est prices. There was comparatively
little commission house business, and at
a little better prices the traders seemed
to take profits rather freely, consequent
ly the market was broken slightly and
fuctuatsd within the limits of a point
or so.
The general list showed hardening
tendency, and the market closed steady
with little higher prices.
