Among the decisions announced by the
Court of Errors on Monday last was one
against Roxbury Lodge, No. 1874, l. o 0
F., which is of interest to all secret society
members The case was carried through
the courts by the Grand Lodge of the
State, as test case.
William Hooking joined Roxbury Lodge
some years ago. When he became mem
Der there was a rule which provided that
any member of the lodge that became i'll
should receive a weekly allowance of So as
long as the illness continued.
Later a rule was adopted by the lodge
providing that any member who became i'll
should receive S. a week for the first
twenty-six weeks. after which time he
should receive but 81 week.
Hooking refused to abide by this law, land
sued the lodge in the Morris county court,
where he recovered verdict. The case
was considered at length in the Grand
L0dge,an a resolution was passed instruct
ing Rox bury Lodge to appeal the case. The
curt of errors affirms the decision of the
lower court on the ground that the rule to
pay sick member So a week in vogue
when Hooking Joined was virtually con-
tract, and could not be changed to apply
to members already in the order without
the consent of all the members.

A lawyer who had been convicted, the
some malfeasance in the line of his duty
to his clients was sentenced by Judge FORT
to term in the county jail The Judge,
in passing sentence said: "Of all men a
lawyer should be the most honorable
People coDfde in members of the bar be-
cause the State has given them a commiss-
ion to be and become their advisers and
trusted agents. The innocent and ignorant
go to their legal advisers for guidance and
often entrust them with their affairs and
money with almost blind implicitly A
breach of this trust merits both sure and
severe punishment.
The Newark Ne.Os, commenting on IL e
case, says
The commission issued by the State to
attorneys-at law is in the nature of guar
anteed protection to the public, that the
practitioner is person quaifi d to traus-
act legal business and one whose integrii v
is unquestioned. That is the theory
When lawyers are rogues they are clsss
separate from other scamps for the reason
that part of their capital is their privi-
lege to practice-a privilege protected by
the courts. Hence it is the highest duty
of the courts to stand between the innocent
public and legal sharks When lawyers
prove dishonest the penalties provided
should be visited in their fullest force. Buf
apart from this punishment is another: No
man capable of cheating his clients should
be permitted to have an opportunity to re-
peat the act.

The scheme to establish postal savings
banks has a bold and strong advocats in
Mr.. Gage the Secretary of the Treasury and
Postmaster General Gary. The latter in
his first annual report of the doings of his
department, submitted last week, says
the time is ripe for the establishment OF
postal banks, and that the addition of a
well-organized system would confer great
boon upon large number of persons and
ultimately be of inestimable benefit to the
whole country"
The scheme in its present stage of de-
velopment proposes to make every money
order post Office in the United States de-
pository for the large and small savings of
the people, paying therefor small interest
rate.
This scheme has been advocated by the
Grange, bat has lacked recognition in cfi-
cial circles until the present agitation was
begun. But the scheme proposed by the
Grange goes a step further, and proposes a
system VI AoauS VI inulfiuuai property
holdings at slight advance in interest over
that paid to depositors.
As advocated by Mr.. Gage the proposition
is strongly opposed by savings banks all
over the country, and the proposition as
advocated by the Grange has the added
opposition of the National Banks, hence
we have no faith that we shall witness the
establishment of Postal banks except by
a Congress elected on that issue.

CHINESE BRUTALITY.

Boy, Awaits a Terrible Death For Ac-
cidental Matr icide.
San Francisco, Nov. 18.-The steamer
City of Rio de Janeiro, just arrived
from Yokohama and Hong Kong, via
Honolulu, brings a story to the effect
that some two months ago the Shang
hal papers published a sensational
story to the effect that an 11-year-old
boy had been arrested at Kinkuei for
accidentally causing the death Of his
mother 1t was reported that the child
had been most inhumanely treated by
the Yamen runners sent to arrest him,
and that he would have to suffer the
consequences of his lamentable acct
dent by being sliced to death with the
s'lingchi'' or OK cared knife. The for
eign residents of Shanghai indignantly
protested against this manifest in
justice, but We're assured by the Of
ficials to whom they appealed that there
was absolutely nothing in the report,
and the matter was dropped. But it
now appears from an undeniable source
that the wretched boy is confined in
prison at Shoe Chow awaiting the final
orders for the carrying out of this bar
barouS punishment.

THE GERMANS IN China.
Details Of the Occupation Of the
Forts at Kiao-Ohau.
Ho1sTED THE GERMAEsTANDARD

Chinese Oficials Consider That Ger
many Has Committed an Act of War.
But 1t Is Not Likely That China WIN
Assume BeIligerent Attitude.
London, Nov. 1S.-A special dispatch
from Shanghai says that the COM
mander of the German cruiser division,
Admiral Won Diederich, landed troops
at Kiao-Chau last Monday morning.
The three forts were held by 1900 Chi
nese, and their guns commanded the
fleet. Admiral Won Diederich placed
his four large cruisers Immediately OPP
posite, ready to fire, and sent an ulti-
matum ordering the evacuation OF the
forts within three hours.
Six hundred German troops and six
guns were then landed and began to
march forward. The Chinese hesitated
for a few moments, and then the whole
1900 bolted heller SHELTER across the
hills behind the forts. The Germans
quietly entered the Notifications, hauled
down the Chinese flag and hoisted the
German standard, which the warships
saluted Immediately. The Chinese gem
eral, who had his family with him,
QlQ not ll0e, UQt SloltilCO oSAAAoAA ~
lection.
The forts are now held by the Ger
mans, who, it is believed at Shanghai,
intend to remain permanently.
In official Chinese circles Germany Is
considered to have committed an act
of war, but it is regarded as improb-
able that China, on account of her
weakness, will take action upon it as
such.
American and British warships have
been ordered to Kiao-Chau to watch
developments. The greatest interest is
felt as to the result of Germany's &C
ton, because the region is immensely
rich in minerals and the harbor the
best along the coast.
1t is now asserted that the murder
of the two German missionaries near
Yen-C hu-Fu was not the work Of ban
dts, as originally understood, but was
deliberately planned by Lii Pung Hing,
governor of the province, prior to his
departure for See-Chouan, of which he
has been appointed viceroy.
The Berlin correspondent of The Daily
Chronicle says Emperor William is de-
voting considerable attention to the
course of affairs in China, and yester-
day discussed the position of the mis-
sionaries with Bishop Amer, vicar of
the German Catholic missions in China.
