ASSIGNMENT HOLDS.
Interesting Decision Made by the Su-
preme Court.

An interesting decision was handed down
by the Appellate Court in the case of John
Garland VS.. Patrick Linskey, which was an
appeal from the Pawtucket District Court, on
decision Of the Judge on the validity Of an
assignment Of wages. The defendant made
an assignment Of his wages to one Michael
Quinn, while resident OF the town of Cum
berland. and afterward removed to the city
of Central Falls.t The plaintiff sued and the
garnishee was charged for the debt sued on.
The court below held that the removal OF the
defendant from the town OF Cumberland in
validated the assignment. The Appellate
Court overrules this decision and sends the
case back to the District Court with instruc-
tions 20 enter an order discharging the gar
nishee

The judiciary committee of the House
of Representatives gave second public
hearing this afternoon at 2 o'clock on the
wide tire bill.
Mr.. u. Richmond Parsons, chairman of
the highway committee of the l.. A. w.
Rhode Island Division earnestly urged the
adoption Of the bill and cited several
cases to show the necessity OF preserving
the roads. lie also said that he was at
liberty TO state that Colonel Webster
knight had declared in favor of the wide
tire bill and bad promised bis cooperation
in having such q wise measure carried
into effect.
Mr.. Thomas W. Waterman said that he
was in favor of wide tires, but objected to
the provision of the bill under discussion
as being altogether too radical.
He said that the width OF the tires
should be In some fixed proportions to
other parts of the wheel and not regulated
by the weight OF the load, which he said
would be imprscticsble.
In conclusion Mr.. Waterman said that
the passage of the bill as presented would
involve n lot OF expen'e 10y the creation

CHARGES ISLANDER.
Joseph F. Cookies Suit Against War
rem On Trial.
Previous Verdict OF &125O Was Set
Aside by Appellate Court.

The second trial of the suit OF Joseph
r. Cooke against Peter Warren to recover
s25OO for alleged slander was begun before
Judge Douglass and jury today. A jury
at the previous trial of the case gave
verdict In favor of the plaintiff and
awarded him $3.50 damages but this sum
was declared q grossly excessive award by
tae Appellate Court and new trial
granted.
Cooke claims that after having served
q time at the State institutions for steal
ing some grain he led good life and
had esta blished himself sgaiu ss re-
putable citizen when the defendant began
on oivera occasions to call him 4 thief
.iail bird.
One occasion upon which II Is claimed
these words were used was when a sign had
been taken down from q post st the corner
OF Warren avenue and Main street, Paw
tuckst. Both plaintiff and defendant
have property on the former thorough
fare.
Ii. J. Carroll for the plaintiff made all
the above statements to the jury at the
beginning of the trial today and told
the jury that they bad the right to fix
the damages at this trial ss high ~ they
wished, provided they::did not exceed 1880
and the Appellate Court the right to say
whether the damages were excessive or
1ot.
Judge Dougla lass intimated that IL the
,bject of the suit was to get money and
the jury fixed any damages at all 1t
would De we'll to nx them before what
the court had declared excessive.
To this Mr.. Carroll replied that In .
suit against the consolidated railroad the
verdict was rrst $4,000 then went as big b
as $50, 900. Judge Douglass said In that
case a point OF law was involved
rather than excessive damages.
. AS. Miller and T. p. Barnefield are
attorneys for the defendant.

Should Children Dance.

Whether Ter children should or
should not Ice taught dancing is a
question that confrorts every mother
sooner or later. Macy people, actuated
10y the purest and most disinterested OF
motives, are ceaseless in their censure OF
this graceful exercss and recreation,
because they lose sight of its advan
tpgss in their disgust for its occasional
abuse by tie uprefned. Dancing is
the graceful notion of the body ad
justed by art to sound and measures OF
musirsl instruments or OF the human
voice; is an art worthy of every con
sideration; it is not only delightful and
he ilthy amuse ment but has for long past
proven a necessity. 1t improves The de-
pertinent, refines the manners adds cas-,
and grace to the carriage, 90 essential to
refined society. While these accom-
plishmeuts may be attained to q
trifiing exten: by those mingling in
society, it is justly claimed thst the
whole tone and conduct OF the indi-
vidual can nowhere DO 90 thoroughly
developed as in properly conducted
dancing school.
Children can not be impressed with
the gracious politeness exhibited on
every side. SO that sven boys who have
previously been rough and careless in
their manners, are quickly brought to
appre Gate the beauty Of courtesy and
acquire habits Of gentle speech and
action that exert salutary influence
~ long as they live.
The Royal Academy OF Dancing at
Paris vas founded in 1862 by Becu-
champs. famous master of dancing and
deportment. He was instructor OF Louis
XIV. and gave that monarch q lesson
every day for twenty two years.
