MEANING OF "NEEDv
Is Ruled Upon by Judge Kelly I'm
Petsch Cases.

Judge Kelly decided yesterday that a
written promise to pay a certain sum
of money in case of needsis a non-nego-
table instruments not "a promissory
note. The decision was filed in the
SUIT OF Charles II. Petsch as guardian
OF Juiiana Petsch, incompetent. against
Ida Muehlenbruch. The defendant is
the daughter of Mrs. sJaliana Petsch
The action was brought on the follow
ing instrument: {Ms&
est Paul, Mimi, March 9 1891 II
promise to pay to Mrs. JAliana.- Petsch
$500 in case Of needg
d. Muehlenbruch..
1t was understood that the signer
OF the note represented the defendant
Ida Muehlenbruch.
The defendant moved for Judgment
In her favor and for dismissal Of the
complaint. Judge Kelly granted both
motions, adding in memorandum: se-
THE plaintiff treated this promise
to pay in case of need as an ordinary
prcmtsSOry note, payable on demand
and declared upon it accordingly. The
question arises as to the proper con-
struction to be placed on the words
in case of need PLAINTIFFS counsel
says they are equivalent to ON demand ;
while defendants counsel contends that
they mean much more namely that
the money is not payable and cannot
be legally demanded unless and until
Mrs. Juliana Petsch must have it for
her support. If defendants contention
is correct, the complaint does not state
a cause Of action because it does not
allege that the conditions upon which
the promise is to be performed have
occurred"
After quoting the Century dictionarys
definition of need" Judge Kelly gives
the words Gin case of need /" a milder
meaning in this case in view Of the re-
lationship between plaintiff and defen-
dant of mother and daughter, saying
in conclusion, II hold this paper to be a
ncn-negotiable promise to pay the sum
of money named to Mrs. Juliana Petsch
whenever she should lack the ordinary
and necessary comforts of life, and
should demand payment to supply those
needs"

ARTISTIC PHOTOGRAPHY.
Naturalness Decided Feature of j.
NJ. kuhn's Work

The photographs that Mr.. j. M. Kuhn
has taken since opening his new studio,
on the top floor of the Ryan Annex,
entrance at Ala Robert street, easily sur
pass the modest claims he made for
himself when he first opened.
One of the most pleasing character
istics of his photographs is the entire
naturalness of pose and artistic effect
equaling or exceeding, if possible, in
truthfulness to life the effect produced
by brush or pencil, and the absence
of the posing effect which is so COM
mon among the average photographs.
Mr.. Kuhn himself personally superin-
tends the work in every department,
which is in itself a sufficient guarantee
that all work will be satisfactory.
In fitting up his new studio, he has
secured all the latest improvements,
including the new slant light"
His studio is always open for inspec-
ton and visitors will be most cordially
welcomed.
