Adrian saioonkeeper MuIcted for SELL
ing 10 Minor-stste Fair Associa-
tion IL In Very Hard circumstances
Terrible Death of Two Chiidren.


A case of considerable interest to sa-
1oonkeepers has just been decided in the
Circuit Court at Adrian. Last winter a
boy Of 10, named Schneider, purchased
fifteen cents worth of whisky at Ty-
mans saloon, saying he had been sent for
1t by the family. and that the liquor was
needed for ? sick brother. The fact of
the brothers sickness was known TO the
bartender, and the liquor. was given him
in a flask. He proceeded TO get outside
of the whisky in little while, and in his
drunken hurrah committed an assault on
a little boy by throwing a stone which
inflicted considerable injury. For this
he was arrested and fined $40. The moth
er brought suit, and Judge Lane charged
that no matter what were thu circum-
stances, the sale to the minor incurred a
liability for which they must give the
plaintiff $50 damage, and they were en-
powered to give such additional sum as
they found was warranted to make good
any damage done and for the injury to her
feelings, etc. The jury, after six hours
elaboration, gave verdict of 5000 ana
costs. Ii seems that under the charge OF
the court that wife or relation may
bring suit in any case of drunkenness
against the saloonkeeper and his bonds
men, provided the drunken man commits
any crime, or does any act that results in
loss to the wife or relative depending up
on him for support. Several new eases
are TO be started against various Adrian
dealers.

A BattIe-Field Lamn.

A new lamp, the invention Of Mr..
Ludwig Durr, Of Bremen, is being tried
by the English military authorities.
The light is originated by evaporation
and superheating Of the vapors from
ordinary petroleum. Air is drawn into
the lamp between the cashier and an
external cylinder, and a smokeless
flame of great brilIiance Is produced.
In short, vapors of great brilliance are
produced by intense heat and convert
ed into gas, which, upon being burned,
yields light ranging from $500 to IA

creditors refused to settle for nine cents

Birth of the Day.

1t comes to US of to-day like q strange,
tragic dream, this memory of a war Of
more than three decades ago, when tho
sound of shot and shell rent the silence
and peace of the beautiful summer days,
and there was vacant chair in the home
of every patriot In the land. Then the
soldiers were divided into two factions,
the boys in blue and the boys in gray.
Now they are united In one band-those
that are left-and they are all boys in
gray. Time has given them their uni
form.
The blue was mingled with the skies,
And we were boys In gray.
Southern women gave to our country
its first Memorial Day-the women Of
Alabama, who paid tribute to their sol
der dead on April 20, 1866.
The first formal services in commemora-
ton of the soldiers who gave their lives
for the Union was on May 8, 1868, by
order of Gen. John A. Logan, who was
at that time commander-in-chi of the
Grand Army of the Republic.
The first State to take legislative action
on Memorial Day was New Jersey, and
New York was the first State to make It
a legal holiday. Congress adjourned an
a mark of respect to the memory of the
men who had died fighting their country's
battles.
On the first occasion when the order
was general for an observance Of the day,
which was that proclaimed by Gen. Lo-
gan, there was a great display of sol
diery, and most pathetic scenes were wit
messed, for the scars of war were yet
fresh. At Arlington, where $1,000 SOL
diers reposed, Gen. Garield-afterward
President of the republic-made an ora
ton that melted all who heard it to tears.
1t was not only magnificent tribute to
the dead, but a classic and valorous les
SON of encouragement to the living. It
was on that occasion that he uttered this
grand peroration:
IF silence is ever golden, II must be
here beside the graves of $1,000 men,
whose lives were more significant than
speech, and whose death was a poem the
music of which canthever be sung"

Grent Britain Not Likely to Accept
IL as Amended.

London, March 2l.--A high government
official expressed to representative of
the Southern Associated Press to-day
the opinion that the United States Senate
had taken all of the meaning out Of the
arbitration treaty, and asserted his be-
lief that the British government would
be extremely unlikely to accept It, I'VE
have done without an arbitration treaty
hitherto" he added "and 1t will not make
much difference IL we continue to do so
for the present"
1t is learned at the foreign office that
diplomatic relations between Great Brit
ain and Venezuela have not yet been re-
sumed, and that the question of their re-
sumption is not likely to be discussed un-
til the Venezuelan arbitration tribunal
has finished its work.
DR.. Juan Pietrie the present Venozue-
Ian minister to Germany and Spain, the
foreign office officials say, has not been
accredited to Great Britain, as has been
asserted.
The st. James Gazette. in a leading ed
itorial, commenting upon the action of
the United States Senate in adopting the
amendments to the arbitration treaty, re-
ported by the foreign relations commit
tee, says: The unanimous vote of the
Senate committee has wrecked the arbi-
tration treaty and this should be a warn
ing to the premature philanthropsts on
this side. The senators carried their point
with a refinement OF the pettifoggers cnn-
ming, which enables them to profess
friendship for the principle of arbitration,
while they smother the treaty with
amendments, which make it ridiculous"
The Westminster Gazette thinks the
Senates action a very disappointing and
disconcerting result OF all the efforts Of
Secretary Olney ana Lord Salisbury. The
anti-English feeling underlying the action
of the Senate. the paper adds, is the most
unpleasant aspect of the matter.
The Pail Mall Gazette says that merely
to please senatorial jingoism and self-im-
portance, a promising plan has been
wrecked. In concluding, the Gazette says:
"We firmly believe the Americans gener-
ally Will be more thoroughly ashamed Of
their Senate than they ordinarily are,
which is saying a good deal"
