Austria's Emperor at Plav,

The Emperor Of Austria takes his
amusements publicly, much unlike
Queen Victoria. He believes that his
subjects like to see him among them,
and when he goes to a theater he takes
a prominent position in full view of

tion, the actors playing to it "for all
they are worth"

an opinion on the case of Starr L. Booth

dict of the jury is set aside and the case is

Booth was foreman in the defendant
companys's works at Bristol and sued to
recover the balance of a years salary,
amounting to SS40, ana he got averdict
for the amount sued for. He testified at
the trial that in Novem Der, 1883, the then
Superintendent of the mill said to him:
$50 long as you stay here and do what
is right by the company, we swill employ
you and pay you by tins year." In March,
1895, Booth. who wss foreman, had bis
position taken away and he was given

an order of court for leave TO sue the re-
ceivers, who were appointed at the in
stance OF the first mortgage bond holders,
and who are now in possession of the
property. The court granted an order
giving the United States permission to
sue the receivers upon condition that the
rnment appear in the salt brought
first mortgage bondholders of the Union
Pacific Company, the United States and
Others.
General Gown entered an appearance
for the government In the Dexter suit and
asked for the rule day OF the court in
March. The permission was granted.
the necessary paper was Immediately
made and s'messenger was at once dis
patched to Omana, Nebraska. where the

on which the government sseeks to fore
close its second mortgage extends from
Council Bluffs. Iowa to Ogden, Utah, and
embraces 10i3 miles, out of a total mile
