The common belief that the law will
cast q special protection around the
weak and feeble gets rudely shattered
by q decision in United States versus
Fay t83 Fed. Rep. 1897, which holds
that only persons Of ordinary prudence
are within the protection of United
States revenu statutes, section 6. $50,
against schemes to defraud by use OF
tho mails. The court held that a scheme
by which a man was led to pay 500 for
tho use Of an alleged superhuman power
to discover a treasure hid in his field
was not a ''scheme TO defraud" because
it was mot reasonably adapted to do
ceive persons of ordinary prudence. "
This decision, says Case and Comment.

And the face grew peaked ard oerio
And the large eyes strange and bright
And they said-too lnte-'rHe is weary.

As they watched in the silent room,
With the sound OF a strained cord breaking,

CHICAGO, June lathe Letter wheat
interest has been 'ttrusteed. There
was wild tumble in July wheat yes
terday, and it was soon seen that Lett
CT had ordered his deals all closed.
Later Letter made no attempt to con-
zeal the fact that he had placed all his
holdings, probably 100000 bushels,
in the hands of trustees. 1t seems
there had been calls for margins which
Letter had been unable to meet, and
that his father had declined to advance
HIM any more money. Joseph Letter
entered the market April 5, 1897, and
immediately afterward the pressure of
a tremendous power was felt, but no
man knew whose was the hand. Lett
cr's first order was negotiated by BrolS-
err George B. French. 1t was for 1O0,-
900 bushels of May wheat ut 70 7-sc
per bushel. Then his orders came,
thick and fast. The cheapest wheat
bought by Letter was 100000 bushels,
bought June IS, 1897. for September
delivery, at 64slc. The deal ran four
teen months, during which time the
price of wheat was down to G4ac in
June, 1897, and up to $1.S5, in May,
1898. 1t involved at one time an int

FORTY sPANIlRDs KILLED.

First Aggressive Movement Results i'll
Signal Victory for the Marines.
KINGSTON, jamaica, June 16.-Advices
from the camp at Guantanamo bay arc
as follows: The United States marines
under Lieutenant Colonel Robert w.
Huntington made their first aggressive
movement against the Spanish gucril-
las Tuesday and completely routed the
enemy. The force of marines was
under Captain Elliott and the co.
operating Cubans were under Colonel
Laborda. The combined forces RACED
a Spanish camp about seven miles from
the American position, destroyed the
only we'll in the vicinity and killed
about forty spaniards. One American
marine was slightly wounded. Two
Cubans were killed and four wounded.
1t is impossible to estimate the number
Of Spaniards engaged, owing to their
guerilla methods of fighting, but it is
believed there were at least 400.
