If Jesus Were to Come to New York.

From Harper's Magazine.
The question of the appearance of Jesus
in New York as He appeared i'm Judea takes
two forms. First. what would be His jud.-
ment of the city? The question has only
one possible answer. Doubtless Ills con-
de demnation would fa;l most heavily upon
the well-to-do and prosperous who have
taken His name and do not His work
Doubtless the grief that He felt over Jeru-
salem would he little abaied over New
York. And yet He would find more 10 ap-
prove. more to be hopeful about in tire
modern world represented by New York
than He found in the word to which He
came. Second. how would He be rccc.vedp
Doubtless He would be a hated disturbance
to the majority. as His living presence is
less He would be desp!sed and persecutad
as a fanatic and disturhor by the high
and mighty and the hypocrtes as by the
fabble and the profiiPates. Doubtless
neither the common morality in living nor
the business morality would welcom, the
test OF His Justice and purity. But lie
would find more who living i'm H's
spirit more who would follow Him gladly
than He found at His coming i'm Judaa
He would find more charity and hrotheriv
Kindness a higher standard of life than
lie encountered in the society i'm which lie
tegan His mission. than existed in the
Rome that crucifed st. Peter, or in the
middle ages that built the magnificent tenn
pies in His name

Suit
The American Waltham Manufactur-
ing company has begun suit against ].
c. Robinson and Cyrus F. Cooke to annul
a certain judgment.
On February 20 the defendant, Robin
son, sued in Justice Cooks court at Ell
Monte for $241 so, damages for the breach
Of a warranty to furnish two good bicy-
cles The wheels were bought by and
the guarantee furnished to Robinson in
Massachusetts, The complaint and writ
of attachment were attempted to be
served upon the Waltham company by
making service upon j. p. Chaffin of
Pasadena. But upon that date the COM
pany claims he was In no way repre-
senting the company as its agent in
California. Before the Waltham people
had any notice of the action. and without
introducing evidence, Justice Cook en-
TERED a default and gave judgment to
the plaintiff.
The thirty days during which an appeal
could be taken lapsed before the Wal
than company discovered that default
had been entered, and at once a motion
was made to set aside the default, arrest
judgment and vacate the attachment.
1t was denied on April 2S. and now this
action has been begun.
The Waltham company maintains that
the two wheel sold were Comets, best
and highest priced wheels in the market,
and that when informed Of the defect
in them they wrote to Robins son to return
them to the factory. This was not done,
and the plaintiff has been and Is willing

uNLucKY CHICKEN RANcHERs
The March of Progress and Steep Rent
Meant Ruin

A rather interesting damage suit is
on trial in department five before Judge
Shaw and jury. T. NJ. Clark and NJ.
A. Stevens are suing w. F. Nordholt in
three separate suits, for damages ag-
gregating $4,000, for having ruined
them in their poultry business.
1t appears that the plaintiffs rented a
corral with buildings, etc., from the de-
fendant, and at these premises, between
Fifth and Sixth streets, had a fine as
sortment Of turkey gobblers, chickens,
etc. The defendant sold the premises
for purposes in connection with a school
built there. andfgave notice. to the plain
tiffs to get out. But they didn't, and
then the plaintiff jumped the rent to
$4,000 per month, and when that some-
what exorbitant rent was not forthcom-
ing began suit to recover, had an at,
tachment placed upon plaintiffs bust
ness, which was sold out.
The plaintiffs contend that they owed
the defendant only SIS and that the legal
action instituted by him was malicious
prosecution, by which they lost property
valued at $500 and were injured in their
credit, reputation, good name and so on,
to the extent of $450O.
The grounds of action are similar in
all three of the suits.

T. E. NEWL1N's ILLNESS
The County Clerk Suffering From the
Dread Appendicitis

A chapter Of mishaps seems to have
opened for the county clerks Office
Last week w. H. Whittemore, in the
most unexpected manner, died, even be-
fore his friends knew Of any indisposi-
ton. On Monday afternoon County
Clerk Newlin went home early feeling
very unwell. He went to bed and re-
ceived medical attention, but not until
Tuesday evening was his ailment dag
nosed as appendicitis. 1t was then
thought an operation would be neces-
sary, and for that purpose Mr.. Newlin
was removed to the Good Samaritan
hospital. Yesterday morning. however.
Mr. Newlin was resting easier, after
having passed good night. In such
case his medical attendants were of the
opinion that very probably an operation
would not be necessary.
The attack has been so sudden and the
unmasking of the disease, which seems
to be one of the results of the high civil
ization of the end of the century, so un-
expected that Mr.. Newlin Is receiving
the sympathy of a wide circle of friends.
