UMBRELLA CAUSES A LawsuIr.
a Judgment which Is of Interest to
Railway Travellers.

London Globe.
A Judgment Of the greatest Importance and
interest to railway travellers WAS delivered
recently by Judge Emden. a gentleman tray-
cling from London to Hastings had occasion
to leave the carriage at Tunbridge Wells and
took the ordinary precautIon of reserying his
seat with his umbrella aud newspapers. While
he was absent another passenger seized his
place and refused to vacate IL until forcibly
elected. Az result An action for damages
was brought against the original owner OF
tho seat by the Intruder. and counter claim
for similar damages was entered by the other
side as wol. The Judgment delivered was
one which will commend itself TO ninety mine
out of every hundred travellers. The claim
for damages for ejectment was dismissed and
the counter claim allowed.
For the future, therefore, the cantankcrous
individual who persists In disturbing the COM
fort and convenience Of travellers IN the man
ner indicated will know how he stands. and
that II the owner OF the seat thinks 1T 10
bundle him out neck and crop the l4ttcr will
not only have the sympathy OF the pAblic but
the law as well on his aide, There can be
no question whatever that the universal mode
OF retaining seat In railway carriage is
most reasonable and convenient one. and the
thanks OF the public are due 20 Judge Emden
for his very clear and sensible Interpretation
Of the law Not the least important point IN
his Judgment Is his assertion that the holder
OF scat was entitled to use reasonable force
10 eject an intruder.

IN EARLIER AGES.


In the earlier ages OF tho world the more
potential the agent that each Individual
could array against the forces OF patnrc
for overcoming and bending them TO the
Will OF tho highest animal the more usef,il
and respected he became among his fell
lows, naturally, therefore, the child was
more desired who by sex and temperament
was the best fitted for tho warfare which
was the normal condition OF life, aud the
mother who gave birth to the most sens
was honored OF her tribe and precious in
her husbands eye.
Some traces there certainly are Of pro-
historic period when the maternll lide u
descent was the rule. and women held the
custody of their children by inalicnabe
right. but very, very early IN the History
OF mankind the male strength had asaertoj
itself.
The savage OF the present day, like our
ancestors, being always bounded by fear or
hunger that bugbear OF aboriginal EXIST

superfluous females. and, therefore useless
children. The American Indian has u long
score OF child murder against him, and
Livingstone's awful account OF the shoot
Ing of the surplus women In an African
tribe is a thing TO leave unread before bed
time. This barbarity and It's underlying
economic principle is naiyely expressed By
our civilized negroes. who In this day thus
sum up their preference for boys:
''Wo don't want no gnls, dey amt no
service; dey can't cut much wood, like man
cam dey cant tote much wlter, like boys,
and they amt dead sure TO support deere
old mammies like men do.
Perhaps this utiltarian view influences
women of all nations more than they know.

sousa to Lose $4,000 a Year.

John Philip Sousa, the "March
King" must share his earnings from
published compositions with the
Blakely estate. This is the decision
OF the referee in suit brought by the
estate.
In 1892, ID. Blakely of Bradford
made five years contract with Sousa
which provided that Blakely, as man
ager, should share equally with Sousa
the profits OF all the latter's compost
tions as well as of the band concerts.
In 1896. the contract was renewed for
three years. Two months after this
renewal Blakely died and Sousa
claimed that his death terminated the
contract. Suit was brought by the
estate.
The referee decides that the contract
in as far as it covered concerts was
annulled but that the Blakely estate
had a continued right to one-half of
all the royalties from the compost
tions as long as they should be earned
without respect of time.
The amount involved may reach as
much as Sl5, 900 year. The matter
will be appealed to higher court.

Postonfce statistics.

That vermont's postal business has
shown increased prosperity during
the year just passed, will be seen by
the following figures:
The AZ presidential offices in the
state had a total OF gross receipts last
year amounting to S3T7, 406.5l- For
the fiscal year preceding the total
gross receipts were only 1855, S1l.Se.
These figures, too, it should be re-
membered. do not denote the entire
postal business of the state. There
are a large number OF what is tech
nically known as fourth-class postof-
fees. Their business is not included
at all in this reckoning.
At Burlington, the largest postof-
fee in the state, the gross receipts last
year were slO7, 626.6O, a very big sum
for a Vermont office. The gain over
the previous year was very great. In
1897 the gross receipts Of the Burling-
ton Office were $99, 1925. But the
figures for this Office are increased all
along the line. The government
therefore made clear out of the Bur-
lington postoffice last year the mag
nificent sum of ESQ, 6sl.ll. This is a
gain OF almost 1000 over the previ-
GUS year.
