His Conviction.
The United 3tates court of appeals,
in Philadelphia, last week, reserved it's
tisrision on Capt. John Il, Hart's from
his conviction for providing and pre-
pairing tho means FOR landing fill
clustering exbedition in Cuba.
nerator Gray made tine concluding
argument. lie urged that there was no
Girrct evidence of organization Of the
IL men taken on board the vessel as a
military expedition, or that they acted
in concert as a militraY body. lie said
the facts only showed that arms and
ammunition had been taken aboard aud
that tia men who embarked we're taken
to the island of Navaesa, where they
we're disembarked, and that the arms
ami mon we're taken in another vessel
from Ravassa, which sailed in the
direction OF Cuba. The evidence must
he positive beyond peradventure that it
was military one. A military ex-
pedition was substantive thing. 1t
included organization, leadership with
intent to act as an organization under
such leadership against forgeiu power.
The evidence in this case failed to
show this.
The statute under which Hart was
indicted did not intend To interfere
with the commercial activities OF the
American people or with their free.
dom to come and go and to dis
pose of themselves Individually as
regards to their attitude toward
or sympathy with either of two
foreign belligerents. 1t was intended,
| as was said by Chief Justice Fuller in
the Wiburg case, 10 preserve the neu-
trality of the United States as a gov
ernment toward foreign telligerents, and
in furtteranee Of that end to prevent the
use of its territory as base for which
hostile military expeditions should be
carried on against either,
Ii was not crime or offense against
the United States under the neutrality
laws, he argued, for individuals to leave
the country with intent to enlist in
foreign military service, nor was it an
olfense against tho United States ia
transport such persons out of the coun-
try. II was not an offense to transport
arms and munitions of war Ia any for
eign country, whether such arms oil
munitions were to be used in war oil
not. The shipper only had to run tht
risk of capture and seizure, but this
did not make it an offense against the
law of the United States.

Frederick Eden Bach Given Juicy Fed
erai Plum.
A dispatch cent out from Washington
Monday night said: Frederick Il. Bach,
formerly private secretary of ex-senator
Higgins OF Delaware, hus been ap-
pointed Supervisor OF the Rural Free
Mail Delivery by Postmaster General
Gary. He was here to-day inquiring
about the duties of the office. Rural
free delivery is in an experimental
stage, but the Postmaster General is
anxious to place it upon permanent
basis during this administration.
The experiment was first tried three
years ago when Congress appropriated
$40, 900 for the purpose. 1t is now
being used in 30 different parts of the
country. at the last session of Congress
$50, 600 was appropriated for the OK
pertinent this year. II has not yet
been determined whether bureau will
be established for the work in Wash
ington or whether Mr.. Bach will per-
form his duties in the field. For the
present it ia said that he will remain
in Wilmington, and keep an eye on the
factional disturbances in that State.
The appointment will be bitter pill
for the Adiickeites OF Delaware, who
were hoping that Bach would be ap-
pointed consul to Iceland or some other
faraway place that would take him out
of Delaware politics. The salary OF the
position is about 53, 800 per year.
Frederick Eden Bach is native oi
Bucks county, Pa, and is 42 years OF
aga. He has lived in this city for q
number Of years, however. and has
been actIva in politics, being at one
time chairmun of the Republican First
district committee. He is one of the
leading spirits among the Regulars.

INSTITUTE FEE LIBRARY.
Magazines and Papers Desired for the Use
of the lnslIIntinn.

of the institution.
To satisfy we'll defined and growing
demand, the Institute Free Library
desires TO put single copies Of maga'
zines into circulation for home reading.
Exp erience elsewhere has shown thar
1t is not only the current numbers that
are wanted, hut that back numbers will
circulate actively until two or three
years old. The library has now ap-
proSimately LOCO registered card
holders. Obviously it cannot under
take TO supply current magazines at
subscription rates in sufficient quantity
to meet the demand. But there are,
doubtless, hundreds of magazines in the
store rooms Of Wilmington bomea that
are of no further use TO the original
purchasers. Ii tho library could secure
some of these il could make them use
full to several times as many people,
until they are actually worn out with
being read.
The library can also make good use
OF hack numbers of the Leading juvenile
papers and the illustrated and scien-
tific weeklies. 1t is also especially
desrous of securing any numbers, week
day or Sunday, OF the New York
Tribune for January, February and
March of this year; and of the Sunday
Tribune alone for April, May and June,

PLIGHT TRoTH THERE
The Famous 'Plighting stane O. Iairgr
 Removed to Canada.

Hemoyed to Canada.
 A famous relic of ancient lore and love has just been placed in the Cana. dian Institute museum at Toronto. It is 'Phe Fighting Stane O Lairg. Ita history goes farther back than any ons can remember, far beyond the time when records were kept. It is known, however, to have been used by the nys. tic Druids centuries before Robert Bruce and his bold clan made Scotland ring Tlth their shouts and the sound of bat. tie, for 1t is Scottish stane, of course. It's name tells that.
 It IS declared by those who know that thousands of true Scottish hearts have phghted troth through an orifice near the top that was made by nature centu. ries ago. This remarkable Druidical relic would be fit companion to the blarney stone, for, while by one the tongue gains power to charm, by tho other one is enabled to win the charm CT. There is nothing like the stone iu ell the world, and it is considered a matter of very great surprise that the good folk of Sutherlandshire, the origi- nal home of the stane, ever allowed it to be taken from tho place where it has stood for centuries.
 David Boyle, curator of the Canadian museum, treasures the stane as he would the apple of his eye He is greatly en. unused over tho addition to the museum
