SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT

In the case of Mary HI Foren vs. Foun-
tain Rodick of Bar Harbor, Judge White
house yesterday sent down the following
rescript:
The plaintiff sustained severe personal
injuries by falling into the cellar of the
sRodick block in Bar Harbor. The
first floor of the block is divided into
stores and the second floor into rooms
which are leased for offices. The main
entrance to the stairway leading to the
second floor is about midway of the
length of the building and is closed by
double doors opening inward to q short
landing at the foot of the staircase
Twenty two and one-half inches from
these doors and at the same height from
the sidewalk is single door opening
from the sidewalk inward to the cellar.
There is no staircase by which to enter
the cellar and no other landing than the
top of the celler wall. A crude ladder
leading from the doorway to the bottom
of the cellar afforded the means of descent.
The cellar door was unfastened on the
evening of the accident, and when the
door was open there was no railing or
other safeguard to prevent a person from
stepping over the cellar wall and falling
into the cellar.
One set of offices on the second floor
was occupied at the time in question. by
a practicing physician and his sign was
affixed to the outside of the building be-
tween the cellar door and the main en-
trance. On the evening of the accident
the plaintiff was passing along on the
office. She was not familiar with tbe
premises but, seeing the DOCTORS sign and
supposing that it indicated the cellar door
as the place of entrance she opened the
door stepped over the wall and fellSfo the
bottom of the cellar.
Held, that the conditions connected
with the approach to the main entrance
to the building were misleading and
dangerous, that in this respect the build
ing was Improperly constructed and negli
gently maintained, and that the niainfiff
Was on the premises by the implied in
vitation of the defendant on legitimate
business, in the exercise of such care and
caution as persons of reasonable prudence
and discretion usually exercise under
such circumstances.
According to the stipulations in tbe re-
port the entry must therefore be, iudg-
ment for the plaintiff for $500 and costs

The Senate has recognized the belliger-
ency of the Cuban insurgents by ma
jority close up to two thirds 1t did the
same thing a year ago, but nothing ever
came of it. In all probability nothing
will come of it now, for there is hardly
a possibility that the House will pass the
resolution, and unless passed by the
House and signed by the President, it
will be of no effect. We have already ex-
pressed our opinion of this resolution. If
it should become operative-that is, if
recognition should be accorded-no sub
stantial good would be done the insur-
gents unless it involved us in a war with
Spain Then of course the rebels would
be aided, for we should be practically
their allies. But if Congress wants to
involve this country in war with Spain
it ought to proceed directly and openly
so that the people may know just what
is intended. If we are to intervene at all
in Cuba we should do so directly.

How Trout and pickerel Feed.
New York Sum-

New York Sum-
1t is easy to observe at the Aquarium
the habits of fish in feeding. Some are
sluggish, some are fierce, and some are
sly. The trout are now fed on live killies
Killies when thrown into the tank scat,
ter in all directions, with the trout after
them like chain lightning, twisting and
turning with marvellous celebrity. The
killies double, the trout dart after them.
Rising to bunch of killies at the top,
the trout fairly make the water fly; they
jump almost if not quite clear out of it
as if they were turning somersaults, and
down they go in again and again on the
killies. 1t is a dashing, slashing, crash
ing pursuit, and in about half minute
the killies are all gone.
The pickerel-how different! How
silent, and yet how sudden! The killie
dropped in above darts downward through
the water. Not pursued, it slows down
and halts in the middle of the tank to
rest and to recover its equanimity after
it's recent disturbing experience of being
removed from it's home in the live food
tank, carried about in galvanized iron
tray, and finally dropped into another
tank as food for other fishes.
At a little distance is observed the pick
erel; it has come up silently, like long,
slender, little steamer moving dead slow;
it comes to halt so smoothly and quietly
that the instant of it's halt is not noticed
it is simply seen to be lying there, mo-
tionless, about six inches from the killie.
All is peace and quiet in the tank, and
the kil1ie still balances itself in the water
and rests. Suddenly, with no apparent
exertion of power, the pickerel darts for
it is not realized that the pickerel has
moved until it is seen i'll it's new position
The killie is gone; it is now in the pick
erel's interior, with only ii very hazy
notion, if any at all, of how it got there.
The methods of the trout and pickerel are
very different; their results, however, are
much the same.

The decrease in ten months ending
with April in receipts from the tax on
cigars has been $456, 312 and in receipt
from the tax on beer and other fermented
liquors 1899, 1874. 1t may be that this fall
ing off in revenues is directly due to
reformation in the habits of the people,
but most likely it is indicative of bust
ness depression. In either case the fact
has to be reckoned with in the prepara-
ton of any bill which will adjust the re-
ceipts to the necessary expenditures of the
government.

That our markets are being flooded
with foreign goods during the delay in
the discussion of the tariff bill is made
very evident by the fact that Manchester
during the first four months of the pres
emit year sent to this country million and
a half dollars worth of cotton velvets and
other goods, while in the whole calendar
year of 1896 these exports amounted to
only 50, 300, 900. This is one of several
instances that might be cited which
make imperative the necessity of prompt
action by the Senate.

The Portland daily press., 1897-05-22


Mr.. Hits allusion in the House to
dissatisfaction with the Spanish minis
try, was reference no doubt to the re-
cent statement of Sagasta, the leader of
the Spanish Liberals, that he could no
longer support the government. When the
rebellion IN Cuba broke out, Sagasta ten
dered the aid of himself and his party to
the ministry to put it down. He de-
clared that he would place no obstacles in
the way of the ministry. At his sugges-
ton party divisions were for time laid
aside and all parties united in patriotic
effort to save Cuba to the Spanish crown.
But Sagasta has apparently got tired OF
the SLOW progress made and the inefficien-
cy Oh Weyler, and has lately declared
that he can no longer support the govern
ment's Cuban pol icy. 1t is doubtful, how
ever, if this is to be interpreted, as Mr.
Hit seemed inclined to interp ret it, as
meaning that Sagasta would more readi-
ly than Canovas approve policy looking
to the solution of the Cuban trouble by
other means than the subjugation of the
rebels. 1t is highly improbable that any
party in Spain today is ready to sug-
gest as a possibility even the loss of Cuba
to the Spanish crown. The feeling is too
intense to make it safe for any leader to
propose such a thing. Probably Sagasta
in saying that he cannot longer support
the government, means simply that he
cannot approve of their method. 1t is
hardly possible that he differs with the
government that the end to be achieved
is the suppression of the rebellion and
the full restoration Of Spanish authority
| is the Queen of the Antilles. And we
shall be very much surprised if Mr.. Hits
suggestion that Sagasta will be more
willing to accept the good offices of the
United States than the present minister
Canovas, does not call out from him hot
denial

son OF uncertainty which Congress alone
can remove, Congress should give it's
undivided attention to this country and
let Cuba wait. The Cuban question
odght not to have taken precedence of
the tariff. 1t ought never to have been
raised until the government was provid-
ed with sufficient income to pay its run
ming expenses. The debate in the Senate
which has consumed so much time for
no good purpose, ought not to have been
entered upon, until questions more close
ly affecting the interests of the people of
this country We're settled. Congress was
called together to provide sufficient reve-
nues for the country and to create condit-
ions favorable for the revival of business
and industry. The popular branch has
confined itself to that business. But
the Senate has seemed more anxious to
tackle every question than the one it was
It's particular business to consider.
