Secrecy IDvaIidates II Confession of


Judgment.
New York, March 6.-Justice Russell,
in the supreme court, has decided that
where judgment is confessed by an in
solvent corporation for the purpose of
favoring some particular creditor, and
the proceedings are kept secret, the
Judgment is invalid. The decision was
made in the case of Kirkland, Andrews
& Co., Incorporated. The president Of
the company, Charles E. Ensign, ia
vored the preference Of Indebtedness
against the company held by his
cousin, Thurman L. Ensign, to the
amount of $4,000, and interest.

The fund of information on the TWO
subjects which were attracting SO
much attention. He had received no
word from his government concerning
Gen. Lee, and he stated positively
that no suggestion concerning Gen.
Lees retirement had been submitted
by him to the state department. AS
to the sending of relief supplies by
the Montgomery and Nashville, MI.
Du Bose said he felt that merchant
vessels were much better equipped for
such service and their use was rot
omen to the misconstruction possible
in sending supplies by vessels OF the
navy.
The news concerning Gen. Lee
aroused the deepest interest ana no
little excitement throughout Washing
ton. and for the time being the usual
quiet of Sunday evening was put
aside. In hotel corridors, at the CLUBS
and in all public places it was the aD-
sorbing topic, and not since the Maine
disaster was such widespread popular
interest evinced in the Spanish stu
alton.

Conduct of Spanish Divers.

Havana March 8.-The conduct Oh
the Spanish divers who are invest1-
eating the wreck of the Maine IS
mystery. Thus far they have not
been down 1--WE hours in the aggregate
and they show no disposition to make
a thorough inquiry 1t is impossible
to learn the truth fully regarding the
purpose Of the Spanish court OF IN
curry, but it is generally believed that
the divers were sent down for forms
sake only, and that report will be
made in accordance with instructions
from Madrid.

Havana, March 4.-Without adding
unnecessarily to the surmises, conjec-
lures and prophecy concerning the
finding of the court of inquiry it is fair
to say that as matter of fact, most OF
the naval officers here and at Key
West incline to the opinion that the
court will find that the disaster to the
Maine was caused by the explosion OF
a floating submarine mine under the
port side of the ship, forward. Op1n-
ions agree, not only as to the existence
of mines in the harbor, but that this
one was laid purposely near the buoy
where foreign war vessels were direct
ed to moor, and was fired from an
electric battery on shore. 1t is believed
barely possible that the explosion Of
the mine was the result Of the care
lessness or ignorance Of Spanish Of
ticers in charge Of the mine station
keys when testing the circuit, but the
latter supposition is not felt to be prob
able. 1t is further regarded as settled
by the evidence before the court that
the port side of the hull forward was
completely blown to pieces, and the
only explosion on the Maine, except
of isolated cases of fixed ammunition,
was that of 1000 pounds of saluting
powder, stored forward, and of which
no trace can be found. These views
are gathered from officers who

1t is one of the curiosiics in the his

the cumbrous Roman numerals held
their ground so long after the intro

more properly the Indian symbols.
The earliest appearance of the latter in
Europe has been traced To transla-

BOYS ESSAY ON POLITENESS
Delicious Philosophy i'm Regard tn the
Treatment OF Girls.

Politeness is rather u difficult thing.
especially when you are making a
start. says q boy, quoted by London
t-Bits. Many people haven't got it.
| don't know why. unless it is the start.
Ii is not polite to fight little boys. eX-
cept they throw stones at YOU. Then
you can run after them and when
you've caught them, just do little bit
at them, that's all. Remember that all
little boys are simpletons. or they
wouldn't do it, 1t is not the thing to
make fun OF Il little chap because he is
poorer than you. Let him alone if you
don't want to play with him, for he is
as good as you, except the clothes.
When you are in sch OIL and boy
throws a bit of bread or anything at
YOU over the desks. il is not polite 10
put your tongue out at him. or to
twiddle your fingers in front OF your
nose. Just wait till after school, and
then warn him what You'll do next
time; or, il you find yOu are bound to
hit him, be pretty easy with him.
Some boys are very rude over their
meals. Don't keep on eating after you
are tightening and you will he far moro
happier. Never cat quickly. or you
might get bones in your throat. My
father knows Of a boy who got killed
over his Sunday dinner. The greedy
boy was picking a rabbits head in a
hurry and swallowed one jaw OF IT,
and my father says he was chokcd to
death there and then. BE very polite
over your meals, especially when II $
rabbits. Since my father told me that
have always felt rather queer over 4
rabbit dinner. 1t is not polite to leave
victuals on your plate. especially any
thing You don't like. II you don't like
turnips ii is better to eat well into
your turnips first, while YOU arc hun
cry. and you'll cat the meat and pota-
toes easy enough after Boys should
always be polite to girls. however
vexng they may be- Girls are not so
strong as boys. their hair IS long and
their faces are prctticr; 50 You should
be gentle with them. If Girl scratch
es YOU on the check. or splits in your
face. don't punch her and don't tell
her mother. That would be mean.
