THE discovery Of Vinol changes the en-

that something that they dreaded has been

There Is no one who has children but has

not a proper diet for the little ones, and
following a natural instinct, they sepa-

pality had such authority to eXpend
money for purposes outside the strictly
limited municipal purposes, there has
been no suggestion that the equitable
or moral obligation existing on the part
of the municipality, constituting the
consideration on which the municipal
ity had a right to make this eXpendi-
ture, had its inception in a situation
prohibited by law. On the contrary, in
indication of legal prohibition against
the performance of the service.
In the case of Mr.. Madden it is to be
observed that whatever point of view
may be taken as to his connection with
the city and the fire department, it was
a prohibited and illegal act, whether he
be viewed as a public officer or as I'M
dertaking to contract for his services.
In either event, by express provision of
the law, it was a prohibited relation.
On general principles, no civil con-
tractual liability between the parties
can attach to a relation which is iIle-
gal and prohibited by law. This consti-
tutes a marked distinction between the
case which you present and any other
which has arisen in which the munich
pality has been allowed to pay money.
sit can hardly be said that equitable
and moral considerations require or
will permit the payment of money for
services, the rendering of which was
expressly and absolutely prohibited ex-
cept as a mere gratuity, by the stat
utes under which the business of the
city is conducted
'"This is especially true when we are
considering the right of city to make
a payment of money, which must be
raised by taxation of all the inhabi-
tants, when, to use the words of the
court in Ainot VS.. West Roxbury, Tt
is well settled that towns derive all
their authority to tax their inhabitants
from the statutes, and if the authority
is not found there either in expressed
terms or by necessary implication, it
does not exist
81 ann, therefore, brought to the con-
clusion that no money can lawfully be
paid from the city treasury upon this
form of claim. Very respectfully,

ENGLAND PROTESTS
Against oession OF Port Arthur to Russii

Against cession OF Port Arthur to Russia.
PeIin, March 1.-THE British minis
ter, Sir Claude Macdonald, visited the
Chinese foreign office on Tuesday, and
lodged a strong protest against the ces-
sion of Port Arthur TO Russia, saying it
would destroy the balance of power in
China. The Chinese officials, however,
declared their inability to Withstand the
Russian demands.
NJ Pavloff, the Russian charge 'af-
fairies, wished the cessions to take place
within five days, in order to forestall
the arrival of his successor, NJ. Speyer;
but China required longer time to
consider the matter, and therefore the
negotiations were transferred TO st,
Petersburg.
Russia Is still eXerting pressure TO
bring about the dismissal of the British
railroad engineers. The tsung-li-ya-
men referred the matter to the director
of the railroads, who declared their SER
vices to be Indispensable, regardless OF
their nationality.

RUMsEY CREDITORS LOSE ALL.

funct Rumsey Bank with their lost
thousands of dollars, probably has been

non which virtually defeats them in
their legal battle with ten Chicago
bondsmen of the late State Treasurer
of Illinois. M. p Murray of this city has
received a telegram stating that Judge
Wallis decision has been reversed, and
the case remanded This means that
the controversy in court will undoubted-
ly cease, as the people who lost their
money in the bank have grown tired of
two years of litigation. Two hundred
residents of Carlisle and vicinity are

which is a clean cash loss. Widows,

movements which mark this generation,
is raised in the interests of women; when
this representative of her sex to such an
extent that she has been twice nominated

Equal Rights Party, publishes the fact
to the world that she owes her present
good health and strength to the use of
DIR. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, it comes as positive proof, a
revelation of the way to health to the
thousands upon thousands of people who
droop and languish under the burden of
iil-health, over-taxed strength, nervous
disorders and the weaknesses, pains and
aches of female complaints.
Mrs. Lockwood says
81 have used DR.. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy, and am pleased
to say that it has improved my digestion,
relieved the sleeplessness under a great
nervous strain, during which I believe
that sleep would otherwise have been inn
possible, and seems in every way to have
built up my general health. The attacks
of faintness to which l had previously
been subject have entirely disappeared.
1t increases the appetite, tends to cheer
fitness and general good feeling and
leaves no i'll effect.
g. can freely recommend it to all per-
sons afflicted with nervous disorders, or
that tired feeling which is so common.
recommend it also to nervous people,
aged people and to all persons in delicate
