.THES UPREMECOURT
LAND DECISION FROM NEW MEXl.
co SUSTAINED BY COURT
OF LAST RESORT.
Lien Upon bitches Attaches to the
Land Covered-A Number of Other
Importance Handed Down by the
Supreme Tribunal.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The decision
of the supreme court Of New Mexico
in the case Of the Springer Land assoc
citation VS.. Patrick P. Ford was today
sustained in an opinion by the United
States supreme court, rendered by Chief
Justice Fuller. The question involved
was whether a mechanic lieN upon an
irrigation system covered only the
bitches and rivers, or, in addition to
these lands, the ditch. The court held
that the lien applied to the land held
under the ditch as well al to the ditch
itself, in this case, involving $4,000
acres.
ITO limit the land upon which the
lien was given on the strip Of land six
feet in width and 26 miles long. which
was actually occupied by the ditch anc
excluded the tract of which the ditch
was constructed to benefit by its con
tinuous operation would" thechief jus,
tice said, ''be undesirable and circum-
scribe the meaning Of hal statute"
This decision was based on an act OF
the territory, and in reading his opn-
ion the chief justice said that adjudica-
ton would depend necessarily upon the
local statutes Of different states and
territory, and in rendering his opin.
terms judicial decisions must n~ecessari-
ly conform.
ANOTHER DECISION.
Justice Brewer today handed down
the decision Of the United States SUI
preme court in the case Of the Michigan
Lumber and Land company, plaintiffs
in error, VS.. Charles A. Rust. The case
involved the question of the power of
the secretary Of the interior over the
identification Of lands passing the
swamp lands act of 1850. especially Of
his action in providing and certifying
to the governor Of the state a list of
such lands. The case vas n Of eject
ment. and it came to this court from
the United States circuit court of ap>
peals for the Sixth district.
The decision Of the court Of appeals
was favorable to Rust. and that decis-
ion was affirmed by today's action. 1t
was held, in brief, that the governor, in
accepting a list Of lands in Michigan
after a former list had been furnished
and found to be in error. had forfeited
the right to claim, under the first list
and that amedment to the swamp lands
act Of 1875 did not alter the situation.
The United States supreme court to-
day refused to take cognizance Of the
question certified to it from the United
States circuit court Of appeals, for the
Eighth circuit. in the Ease Of the United
States VS.. the Union Pacific Railroad
company. on the ground that the ques-
lions were not in proper form. The
case involves the liability of the rail-

swaying to and fro once or twice only
with the club over the ball, and in the
same yer, ical lane as the arc which tt e
head of the club ought to describe IN
the actual stroke. The player should
waggle with her wrists only. She
should let the club head rest again for
a moment behind the ball before max
ing her upward swing, her left elbow
slightly squared, her right at an easy
angle. and her hands we'll down about
on a level with her belt. Then she
should swing her club back to a holi-
zontal position behind the head. never
for a second taking her eye OFF the
ball, allowing the body to turn gently
with it's weight upon the Tight foot,
raising the left heel slightly OH the
ground, a Perfectly natural motion. She
should keep the head Of her club per-
fectly steady and let her upward and
downward swing be practically one
motion.
When the young woman comes to
fence, she will find the one thing 1T
is necessary for her to pay particular
attention to is the parry. The safest
advice to give to her is to practice as
siduously all the parties excepting per-
haps, the one known as prime, which is
difficult to execute and very little used
III foil play. AS the young woman be-
for herself what guards are the safest
to rely upon. Successful parryfng de-
pendS to a great extent upon trained
instinct which enables one to foresee
the direction of the opponents attack,
and upon accuracy and judgment in ex-
ecuting a movement. The important
thing for the young woman to remem-
ber is that she must not be led or INTO
making her parry too wide, for in fenc-
ing as in everything else the conserva-
tion of energy is vital.
1t is easy to see that if, upon her
adversary's fefnt in siXte, the summer
girl allows her blade to fly too far out
to the right, she will be unable to get
il back in time to parry the real thrust
in quart Therefore, she should begin
by trying to make parties too narrow,
only broadening them when she sees
that she is hit too often. At the same
time she should try to avoid moving the
arm using the fingers and wrist almost
entirely. The greatest compliment
which can be paid a fencer is to say
that her finger play is excellent. This
advice If carefully followed, will give
the beginner a grace which will make
her the envy of her companions.
When the summer girl has learned
all these things carefully, she may be
taught to swim, provided she does not
know how. The method is worthy of
a moments notice, however. because
it teaches one how to swim without
entering the water. This is the way
it is DONE Take a chair without q

do their part, she makes them both

Special Correspondence of the GLOBE.
NEW YORK, May 27.-The summer
girl of 1897 is to be distinctly an
athlete. She may still cling to the
fuffiness of other years When sne IS
indulging in a promenade upon the
hotel veranda or along the beach, put
this will disappear when the hour for
athletics arrives 1t is all the out
growth of the idea that woman to
he thoroughly fashionable must be
muscular. The day of the nappy girl
has departed. What particular form
will the athletic fad take? This is
the question the mothers and fathers
OF the summer girl have been asking.
You can count the branches OF the
fad on four fingers. Here they are:
Golf, fencing, swimming, rowing. There
is a strong tendency toward popu-
larizing the fourth in the category
named. Wellesley girls had crew
last year that took spins on the river
and lake The gymnasiums at the
girls colleges were exceedingly wen
patronized by the students. perhaps
one might not think it, but very many
of these same students are summer
girls-the simon-pure article.
There are lot of things the summer
girl must know to be athletic. II
girl is really going to enter into
outdoor sports, she must be absolutely
correct in what she does Golf is con-
sidered a rather muscular game for
a woman, and so it is. Not only that,
but it IS a game that calls for knowl-
rlr;1l Tolr GI,;xy ,rr11
for instance. In this feature of golf,
one must cultivate a good style. Style
may not be of the great Importance
which some veterans insist on, but who
can deny that a good style is a distinct
advantage to a summer girl who wish
es to become good player?
This is where the knowledge comes
in. To make a good drive the clup
should be grasped firmly with the left
hand, the right being used more to
guide the direction. the two hands as
close as conveniently possible, the left
being a few inches from the top of
the shaft Hold the club well home in
the palm of the left hand and more
in the fingers with the right. The ball
should be just opposite the hands;
that is, the ball, club, shaft and hand
and eye. should all be in the same
vertical plane and the club resting
lightly on the heel. should be at an
exact right angle with the balls In
tended direction of flight. Thus the
players hands will be slightly in ad-
vance of an imaginary line drawn
vertically down the center of her body.
She should stand firm with her legs
about eighteen inches apart, the left
toe slightly in advance of the right
In this posture she should execute the
waggle.
The ideal waggle consists Of a gentle

SO much for learning to swim on dry
land.
From swimming to rowing Is nat
ural step. and so 1t is that the sum-
mer girl promises to become fairly
proficient In sculling. Now sculling ls
no joke. It Is not Ike sittlng oown

into rowlocks and will not so over
board IL you drop them. 1t ts per-
formed by one person who sits IN the
center Of the boat and uses a pair or
short oars, technically called sculls.
holding one in each hand. In noidlnR
the SOULS, 1t Is mere matter OF Iancy
whether the right hand or the ieft
ping more Or less The great points TO
be borne in mind are to sit upright, to
reach out well over the toes, dropping
the body between the knees, whlcn
should open oft as the arms stretch
forward, to- get firm hold OF the water
at the moment Of contact, and to lit
the boat oyer the water with the hrse
part OF the, stroke. The sculls when
not in USE should invariably be nat
on the wafer to preserve the eQuln-
brium Of the boat.
The great art in sculling is to pull
equally and evenly with both hands
in order t0 balance the boat and to
maintain a straight course, for, there
being no cockswain. the sculler has
to do her own steering. This she &C :
complishes partly by keeping the stern
Of her boat pointed straight at some
fixed object astern and partly by turn
ing her head, not her shoulders and
body, round to the right or LETT to
enable her to cast her right or left eye
as the case may be as far along the
water front as DOSS1Dle.
All these things must the summer
girl of 1897 ponder over. If she faith
fully carries out the. promise Dame
Fashion will require her to make, she
will have far less time to spend In
Filtration Glen or Engagement Grove.

work together In proper time. The
pupil stretches out straight from finger
tips to toes, palms downward. At the
word one, THE hands are quickly
turned outward. while the arms are
brought around square with the should
the sides and the hands are brought
together between the chin and breast.
At the word three the hands. are
sent front to the full length Of the arm
with energy, and not In purely pass
i've way. The legs should be carried
well up under the body and outward
as much as possible at every stroke.
The toes should be pointed upwards
toward the shins before each kick.
The object Of turning the toes up Is
to get all the advantage possibly from
them as 1t is in the stroke that the
power Is applied with the fiat of the
soles. The feet ought not be turned
cut till the toes are In line with the
elbows just before the kick. After a
vigorous kick, turn the toes downward
and close the legs with snap, again
bringing the soles in use. AS the heels
meet, the strain which was put upor
the feet to turn the toes down Is taken
off and must be put on again after the
next kick Is made. sesN
When the hands and feet can each
do their separate part, they should
be made to work together in this fash
ion: AS the hands and arms supply
the power, the legs are being brought
up for the kick. all at the word ''one."
The kick is made as the hands meet
the chest, and the sweep with the sOles
continues the rhythm as the hands
are brought to the front in the recov-
cry. BY these movements, power is
always being applied, either by hands
or feet. While the arms are working
the legs are recovering, and vice versa
A half second ought to elapse before
the hands are parted. This will give
confidence to the pupil and will keep
her from swimming too fast when she
makes her first attempt in the water

In addition to the above there are
scheduled to occur before the conven-
tion date fifteen meetings of unions
which have not as yet selected their
representatives.
The Cigarmakers' journal says that
more attention ie now being paid to
the question of shortening the hours
of labor than even before, and ven-
lures the assertion that the feverish
expectancy now prevailing will crys-
talize into solid determination by the
time May /, 1898, is reached. And
that day will witness one of the grand
est struggles ever attempted on the
field of economic advancement. A
fixed opinion is growing in the minds
Of the workers that, in view OF the
rapid Introduction Of improved machin-
cry. steps must at once be taken to
find employment for those who are
displaced by this process. No move
ment, be 1t scientific, theoretical, or
commonplace, promises so much In
by organized labor-the shortening Of
the hours Of toll.
Short-weight bread was food for dis
cussion at last weeks meeting of the
bakers union, and the subject was
we'll digested. 1t Is said that by far
the majority Of loaves baked by the
large concerns and sold principally in
the business district, are affected with
an excess of an otherwise desirable
attribute, fakiness, and as a result
innocent purchasers of cheap loaves
are being imposed upon. The legal
weights for loaves are sixteen and
thirty-two ounces, and the prices that
may be charged are discretionary with
the baker. So that while the latter
may set his price as he chooses, the
purchaser always assumes that he is
paying that price for a full pound, or
two pounds, as the case may be. 1t is
claimed that this is going on with the
full knowledge Of the license inspector,
whose attention has been called to it
particularly. While in the pursuit Of
his regular duties. he Is reported as
having found short weight bread, but

The union suggests that purchasers
scale the loaves and If found short
Of weight that protest be entered
against the imposition. 1t is proposed
to continue the agitation until stop
is put to the practice, which the union
says is inspired by a desire of the
big bakers to monopolize the market.

heard, that they believe in socialism.
