Pelican and Duck In n Duel.

In Kew gardens, in the presence of a
considerable number of spectators, an
affair of honor was settled between a
pelican and duck The birds had had
words together, so to speak, and the
pelican determined that the next best
thing to making the duck eat his words
was TO eat the duck. So, after a little
thrust and parry on the water he made
for the smaller bird and snapped it into
his pouch.
Then battle royal began inside the
pouch of the pelican. The duck strug-
gled, kicked, quacked and occasionally
managed to get "a leg or a wing outside,
while his captor threw his beak high in
the air, then dipped it into the water,
and kept it there, as if trying to suf-
focate or drown its enemy From the
look Of the agitated pouch it seemed as
If the contest was by no means one sided,
but that the pelican was having rather a
rough time.
AT last the duck got his head and one
wing out, and then, with a magnificent
effort, managed to get entirely free
Once again on the water, the duck de-
clined further combat and fled, while
the pelican remained, looking as if honor
were thoroughly satisfied London Tel

Excessive Coffee Drinking.

The Moors are inveterate coffee drink
ers, especially the merchants, and they
sit i'll their bazaars and drink continu-
ously the whole day long. 1t has been
noticed that almost invariably, when
these coffee drinkers reach the age of 40
or 45, their eyesight begins to fail, and
by the time they get to be 80 they be-
come blind. One is forcibly impressed
by the number of blind men seen about
the streets of the city of Fee, the capital
of Morocco, and this is invariably at
tributed TO the excessive use of coffee. -

The first index volume OF the records
of the Municipal Court has just been
completed by Clerk Field. and there is
no doubt that the work so far accom-
plished will be appreciated by those
who have business with the court rec
ords. 1t has been apparent for a long
time that the records needed indexing,
and last summer Mr.. Field was author
lied by the City Council to undertake
the work.
Some OF the papers found in the files
had never been recorded. and these had
TO be given n place. so that all the
documents relating TO estates in the
city would be readily available. The
volume completed includes all papers
which had been passed upon by the
Probate Court from 1916 TO 1900, in
elusive. The work necessitated the
making out OF 10000 cards. the pasting
of all papers relating TO the various
estates. and arranging them i'm chrono-
logical order. Mr.. Field will now COM
mence work on the second volume.

records. which have recently come into

HIS PETITION DENIED.
Court Refuses 10 Release Cleary
From jail.
Writ Of Ne Ex.ai Is Not a Writ Of Mesne
Process, II Holds.

Patrick Cleary's petition for dis
charge from jail where he is confined
under a writ of ne exeat has been de-
MED. Mr.. Cleary and his wife, Mary
l.. Cleary, brought their family diff
culties, which were OF an aggravated
nature, into court and Mrs. Cieary was
allowed alimony. There was a good
deal OF delay in the payment OF this
alimony and IL is alleged that Mr..
Cleary was about To leave the state in
order TO escape payment altogether.
He was arrested on a writ OF ne exeat.
After being ig jail several months
Cleary through his counsel, Samuel w
X. Allen, applied TO the appellate court
for a discharge on the ground that his
board had not been paid as the statute
required i'm all cases under writs of
mesne process.
Albert II. Greene, counsel for Mrs.
Cleary, opposed the petition on the
ground that the writ of ne exeat was
not a writ of mesne process, but high
perrogative writ of the court, and the
payment of board at the Jail was un-
necessary. The language of the re-
script i'm the case is as follows:
"A majority of the court thinks that
the petitioner is not entitled TO his dis
charge because of the nonpayment Of
board since he is confined not on a
writ of mesne process or execution, but
on a writ of ne exeat,a prerogative writ
OF the court for want of bail. Being
satisfied. however, from the length Of
time which has elapsed since the petit
toner's commitment that he is unable
to give the bail required by that writ
we will hear the parties ON the question
of bail"

WILL CONFER.
Presidents Of Union and C0nsoli-
dated Roads to Meet.
To Consider the Question of Trolley
Line Along East Share.

President Nelson w. Aldrich OF the
Union Railroad Company and Presi-
dent Charles II. Clark of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad
Company, will meet this week, prob
ably in this city. and will confer i'm re-
lation to the question of the proposed
parallel trolley line on the east shore,
and 1T is not improbable that the pres
ent plan of the Union Railroad Com
pany may be dropped i'm view of the
employment of electricity on the War
rem and Bristol branch of the Con-
solidated road.
There is, however, an opinion that If
the men who are to build the new road
from Fall River to the state line are
not afraid of the competition of cleo
trio cars on the Warren and Bristol
branch, it is pretty certain that their
track will be met at the state boundary
by the track of the Union Railroad
Company. In the meantime another
deal is said to be on between the New
deal is said to be on between the
New York. New Haven and Hart
ford and the Union Company. The
single track in South Water street Is
not sufficient for the growing East
Providence traffic. The widening of the
street to permit the laying of a double
track is not among the probabilities.
The right to use the South Water street
track of the Consolidated would give
the Unio.i Company double track be-
tween Market square and Wickenden
and India streets.
AS matters now stand IL is very evil.
dent that the residents of the east shore
will have electric transportation i'm
a short time. for the Consolidated road
has many reasons for using electric
power on this branch. and none for
putting off the adoption of improved
methods.
