Lord CoIeridge's Umbrella Decision.
(Chicago News)

The law as to umbrellas was settled
once for all by Lord Coleridge in lead
ing English case. His Lordship said
Umbrellas. properly considered, are
a part of the atmospheric or meteoro-
logical condition, and, as such. there can
be no individual property right in them.
In Sampson VS.. Thompson defendant
was charged with standing on plaintiff
front steps during a storm, and thereby
soaking up a large quantity OF rain to
which plaintiff was entitled. But the
Court held that the rain was any mans
rain, no matter where 1t fell, 1t fol-
lows, therefore, that the umbrella is
any mans umbrella. In all ages rain
and umbrellas have gone together, and
there Is no reason why they should be
separated in law. An umbrella may,
under certain circumstances-the chief
OF which Is possession-take on the at
tributes of personal property, just as
IL a man set a tub and catch a quantity
of rain-water, that rain-water will be
considered As his personal belonging
while IL is in his tub. But If the sun
eyaporate the water, and ii is rained
down again. or IL the tub be upset and
the water spilled, then the attribute OF
personal ownership instantly disappears.
So. IL a man holds his umbrella in his
hand. It may be considered a personal
belonging but the moment IL leaves his
hand it returns to the great, general, In
divisible, common stock Of umbrellas,
whittier the law will not attempt to
pursue II"
So far as we know, there has never
been a successful appeal from this de-

never known freedom-that was as tame
as a kitten. the plaything of the Chiefs
children. He took the cage from its hook,
carried II out of doors, and opened it..
The cardinal emerged, huttered around
his head a few minutes, its eyes staring
at the new world, seen for the first time,
then 1t timidly rested on the Chiefs
shoulder.
He stroked II gently, tears coursing
down his weather-hardened cheeks, then
he did his duty under the law. He pushed
the bird from him and went into the
house. The cardinal awkwardly flew TO
the grape arbor, where IL rested. A
neighbours cat saw the frightened bird
and stealthily slipped upon 1t. There was
a thump, a flutter, one wild, smoothered
scream, and the cardinal was no more.
That night when the 800 policemen Of
the city lined up for inspection and or
ders the redbird law was read to them
with due impressiveness and they were
told to do their duty. How well this was
performed was attested by midnight.
when dozens of the indignant citizens
called at the Central Police Station to
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1898-03-06

learn what the outrage meant. They had
been ordered TO turn their pet redbirds
loose and they unanimously refused to
do IL.
BY noon the next day nearly 400 citi-
zens had been ordered 20 let their red
birds go or submit to arrest and fine.
There were many pathetic Incidents and
numerous letters on both sides OF the
question were sent to the Chief OF Police.
The fact that nearly all OF the birds
would be helpless II turned loose: that
they would starve to death or would fur
nish a meal for predatory cats or be
pecked to death by pugnacious sparrows,
cut no figure. The law said they must be
turned loose and the law must be obeyed.
One poor man brought his bird to the
police station and left II, because he had
not the heart to turn IL loose. A little
crippled boy carried his bird TO the Chief
Of Police In his hand, the bird being so
tame that 1t would not fly away. One OF
the captains of police swore he would re-
sign before he would turn his redbird
loose. He proposed to get around the
law by building room for his bird in his
home, thus letting II fly and not combining
IT in q cage.
The clamor became so great that Il
threatened to disrupt the political party
in control of the town. Enforcement of
the law was SUSPENDED IN OrQer 10 OBTAIN
relief from the Legislature, now IN ses-
sion. Representative Harry Pulllam, who
keeps his hand in for managing the Louis
vile Baseball Club by taking active
part in the deliberations Of a belligerent
Legislature, introduced a bill repeating
the redbird act. This bill will, in all pro-
liability, pass before the end of the ses-
sion.
The Kentucky redbird is to the Ken
tuclxian what the southern mockingbird
is to the Louisianian. 1t Is a little larger
possibly, than the mockingbird, and is
much prettier TO look upon. It's feathers
are deep red. the wings, tail, and crown
being tipped with black. AS a whistler
1t is without rival, the notes Of the far
famed mockingbird being less musical. II
is impossible to tame or keep a Gagged red
bird captured after It is year old. The
young ones, taken before they are able
to fly, are the ones that are tanned and
kept. These OF course know nothing
of the freedom they have lost, nor do
they know how TO take care Of them
selves. To turn them loose. especially in
the winter, would be barbarous. James
Lane Allen, the Kentucky writer, has inn
mortalized the redbird by making him
hero Of his novel, "a Kentucky Cardi-
nal" published four or five years ago.

Poverty Party Of Kings Daughters

All sorts of original entertainments were
held by the King Daughters during their
recent canvass for Cuban relief funds. At
a poverty party at Lancaster, Pa, the cost
of admittance was one or more cast-off gar
ments. A file of cents was levied on
guests in too fashionable costume. The
house was decorated with faded wild flow.
ers and lighted with candles stuck in old
bottles and tin candlesticks. The men were
set at work sewing on quilted holders for
kettle handles and f1atirons, and the women
were put making knife boxes and the like.
The refreshments were bread and milk,
mush and milk, gingerbread and other SIM
pies. Fully III garments, ranging from the
details of baby's outfit to an overcoat for
a six-footer and a womans tailor-made
suit, were taken in at the door in lieu Of
