so many Of the sisters of late expressing

of Christ our blessed Savior while ON earth

death, you will that He almost inVari-

of death and Of waking the dead out of
sleep, as in the case of Lazarus, He says
"Our friend Lazarus sleepeth and [ so that

PROBLEM AS TO ADJOINING LOTS
Decided In Way That Makes L
Important to All Owners of
Lots.

In the dozen decisions handed down
by the supreme court yesterday was
one which emphasizes the necessity,
in libel suits, Of permitting the judge
of the trial court to be the judge of
the exact words used The mere con-
clusion of the plaintiff that the words
were damaging in their effect will not
do. The syllabus of the decision is as
follows:
American Book Company, respondent vs. The
Kingdom Publishing Company ct al, ap-
pellants.
l. The rule laid down in Pugh VS.. Railway
Co., 20 Mimi 800, as to the applicability Of
an order denying a motion to make a plead
ing more definite and certain. disapproved.
2. If the meaning of the different allega-
tons can be seen and the cause of action or
is manifest, pleading is not indefinite. Nor
is it uncertain if the nature of the charge or
defense is apparent from such allegations.
q. motion to make a pleading more def
mite and certain cannot be allowed to serve
the purpose of general demurrer.
that the specific words which have been pub
lished must be set forth in the complaint
that the court may determine their actionable
quality. 1t is not sufficient to merely allege
the legal effect of the words or that the pub
LEGATION was Of a certain defamatory tenor
or import.
5. Held, in an action to recover damages on
account Of the publication of alleged de-
famatory matter and to restrain defendant
from further and additional circulation of
the same matter, that to state a good cause
of action in the complaint it was incumbent
upon plaintiffs counsel to conform with the
rule above mentioned. Order affirmed.

e. Bridgman, the st. Cloud lumberman, lost
an important suit in the supreme court YES
terday. He built house which overhung
his neighbours lot, thinking it was his own.
After the house had been completed and fin
lshed OF to the taste of Mr.. Bridgeman the
administrator and some heirs of the estate
owning the lot on which it was built dropped
around and looked 1t over. They approved of
the house and were much obliged to Mr..
Bridgeman for his kindness. Mr. Bridgeman
didn't enjoy the experience of a good deed
well done, and offered to move the house off
the property at once, probably without ex-
pense to the owners, but they couldn't think
OF putting him to so much trouble. The house
should stand Then Mr.. Bridgeman offered
to put lien on the house by way of orna-
and declined the offer.
inc supreme court, affirming the decision
OF the lower court, holds that the owners of
the lot We're right. The mistake was the
result OF Bridgeman's own negligence. and
the fault Of no one else; that the house he
came part of the lot and Bridgeman is
neither entitled to remove the house or TO

TREE 10000 YEARS OLD.
Giant of Prehistoric Times Unearth-
ed in England

An extraordinary discovery, and one which
is just now exciting consiC rable intere st III
antiquarian circles in Lama shire ard che
shire, has been made at Stockport, says the
London News. During the excavations in the
construction Of sewage works FOR the town
some Workmen came across what has since
proved to be massive oak tree, with two
immense branches. Prof. Rcyl DaWkinS he
well known antiquary, is of the opinion that
the tree is one Of the giants of prehistoric
times, and he says that the tree is certainly
10000 years old. The corporation of Stock
port are at a loss what to do with the gil
gantic fossil, which Is supposed to weigh about
forty tons, and as it Is necessary that 1t
should be removed a proposal has been made
to blow it up with dynamite. This has arous-
ed the indignation of a large section of the
public, who presented the following petition to
the corporation:
That there is valuable tree of old oak
at present lying upon and exposed in the
gravel on and within their property; that the
quality in cclor, grain and solidity is bet
ter than any that can be bought in the open
market; that for artistic work alone It Is
greatly to be treasured, for nothing in this
country is at present grown which can come
up to its dimensions; that 1t contains within
itself sufficient material to make the furni-
ture for any public building or town hall
which may be erected for the public benefit
within our borough; that it only requires
lifting from its bed which in the opinion OF
competent biologists may be roughly esti-
mated at $4,000 years of occupation; that pri-
vate effort has failed to achieve it's removal.
that Its destruction would be a pubic loss
and an artistic calamity that your represent
tves in council be and hereby requested
to conserve for the borough this grant of
nature to her sons and daughters, whose sig
natures are hereby affixed"
The corporation have reserved their deci-
sion, and in the meantime efforts are being
made by local antiquarians and others to
bring pressure to bear upon the council to
preserve the tree for the benefit of the town
and the country; 1t is believed that no dis
covery of such Importance has hitherto been
made in this country, and this being so it is
hoped that those interested in such matters
throughout the country will lend assistance
toward preserving the tree.
