SUSTAINED THE TRUST.

DecisioU ~ the New Jersey Supreme
Court Causes Surprise.
NEW YoRK, June 5.-The New Jersey
supreme court has rendered decision,
said to be the first in this country, in
favor of a trust The decision was given
in the suit of the New York Trap Rock
company against Brown & Fleming.
About two years ago there was brisk
competition and rivalry between the
owners of quarries and trust was
formed. Several quarries were absorbed
and prices were advanced. A part of
the agreement was that only the agent
of the trust could sell the stone and q
penalty of s.. 900 was prescribed for vio.
lating this clause of the contract. There
was some dissatisfaction and Brown &
Fleming accepted an order for a large
quantity of stone. Tho trust demanded
the penalty of $4,000. but the firm re-
fused to pay the forfeit and decided to op-
pose the trust. The company instituted
suit for the amount of the penalty.
Brown s. Fleming filed demurrer. set
ting forth that by the declaration CT the
plaintiff the company adpitted it was a
trust, that it was an illegal combination
formed for the purpose of destroying
competition and to control the prices of
trap rock. The supreme court has given
q decision overruling the demurrer.
The court holds that a contract that
single person shall be employed as the
sole agent of the manufacturers to sell
oil their output does not violate any
principle of law and may be enforced.
1t was decision of the entire court
and was a surprise to many lawyers.

A SHOOTING STAR.
What 1t Really In and Where Il
Comes From.

Comes From.
Sir Robert Ball, who is the worlds
greatest living astronomer, told Lon
don audience recently some interesting
facts about meteorites and shooting
stars. In describing the origin of meteor
ties he said that millions Of years ago,
when the earth was an infant at play
and volcanoes were giants, the meteors
were thrown upward in infant convul-
sions. Some Of the earth's discarded
rocks returned at once, but those which
were flung upward at rate greater
than seven miles a second passed be-
yond the earth's gravitating influence
and sought paths of their own, no one
could tell whittier.
And then, after millions Of years,
they once more came within the reach
of the world, and old Mother Earth re-
sumed her sway. took back the rocks to
her bosom and the astronomers said a
meteorite had fallen.
Sir Robert asked his hearers to imag-
inc wrapping Of some hundreds Of
miles Of air round the earth's surface.
Now just in the same way that gim-
let, boring it's way into wood, becomes
warm, so bullet going 30 miles a
minute would become extremely warm
in boring its way through 20 miles Of
air.
And in the same way that a bullet
became warm. so a meteorite travelling
10000 times as fast as a bullet, travel
ing at this speed perhaps for hundreds
Of years through realms Of space whose
paralyzing cold was indescribable and
finding itself at last plunging through
the warm bath Of the air, became hot
ter and hotter and hotter.
1t glowed, 1t became white hot, it
melted, it dissolved In a burst Of gas
eous splendor, and observers on the
earth cried. "Why, there's shooting

CAUSED SURPRISE.

Csssion to Germany of Spains Possessions
in tho Pacific Unexpected.
WAsHINGToS, June 5.-The announce
ment at Madrid in the speech from the
throne to the cortes that Spain had
ceded the Caroline islands, Palaos and
the Marianas was received with surprise
here. The cession marks the relinquish-
ment of Spanish possessions i'll the far
East save the island of Fernando Po
and dependencies on the African coast.
The Mariana islands, which go with
the Carolines and Palaos in the cession,
of course do not include Guam, over
which the American flag now flies.
The strategic value of this cession to
the German interests in the Pacific is
evident from the fact that the Marianas
and Palaos and even the Carolines are
in direct line between Hawaii and the
Philippines and will form excellent
points of supply for Germany.
The American commissioners at Paris
last December vainly sought one of tho
Caroline islands on account of its being
in line with Hawaii and the Philip
pines and valuable as station for the
proposed Pacific cable. Failing in this
the American flag was hoisted over
Wake island, 190 miles east of Guam.

city missions up home had q Job Of
plumbing done at its meeting house.
The work was much more extensive
than showed on the surface, and
when the bill was presented the min
lister in charge insisted he was being
robbed. He made frightful kick, and
had several redhot interviews with the
boss of the shop. After the last and
warmest Of these confabs he returned
to the mission sizzling with wrath and
found we'll known local character
awaiting him. The fellow had been
notorious professional crook, but grow

ways, and the parson had promised to

Unolo sam's Delegates tn renoe Con.
f"rence Submit Their svheme.
The HAGUE. June both sections
Of the disarmament committee of the
peace conference met during the day
and, as was anticipated, failed to agree
with regard to the questions of new in
ventions in ornaments. The drafting
committee of the arbitration committee
made some advance. The American
delegates submitted their scheme relat-
ing to an arbitration tribunal. The plan
differs from the British proposal. It
provides that each country shall ap-
point single arbitrator to be selected
by the supreme courts of the signatory
powers. The tribunal shall have per-
manent central seat and be composed of
at least three judges. who shall not be
natives or residents of countries belong
ing to the powers in discord.
Apart from the above project the
Americans proposed special scheme of
mediation, providing that in the event
of difference arising between two
powers each shall choose another power
to act as its second. The powers thus
selected shall do all they can to recon-
cile the opponents. These seconding
powers shall, even when war has broken
out, continue their efforts with view
of ending hostilities as soon as possible.

Melancholy Thought,

When man really gives his thoughts
up chiefly to eatables end drinkables,
he generally ceases to think of anything
else after awhile. 1t is related in an old
book on French cookery that Fontenelle,
French author Of the early part of the
eighteenth century belonging to the
school Of the precieuses, or literary ex-
quisites, was found one beautiful morn
ing lying at ease on the slope of a hill.
In the valley was large flock Of
sheep. They skipped about daintily,
waiting for their guardian to take them
home. A friend of Fontenelle surprised
him gazing meditatively upon these
sheep.
"Ahal" said the friend. "The amia-
BILE philosopher ponders without doubt
upon the vicissitudes of life.'
"Y-yes." said Fontenelle. II had
feen carefully looking over this flock,
and said to myself. 1T is possible that
among these 200 sheep there is not one
ten6er leg Of muttonl'"

Confesses That He and Not Dreyfus Wrote
the Now Famous Bordereau.
LONDON, June 3.-The Daily Chroni-
Gle says that Major Conte Ferdinand
Walsin Esterhazy called at its Office
with a confidential friend and after de-
claring the time had arrived when the
truth should be told, although hitherto,
owing to inducements, he had kept
silent on the essential points, made the
following statement:
"The chiefs of the army have dis
gracefully abandoned me. My cup is
full and shall speak out. Yes," rails
ing his voice and glaring around, "it
was who wrote the bordereau. Iwrote
it upon orders received from Sandlehr."
Esterhazy, The Chronicle says, then
proceeded to explain that for months
before 1898 moral proofs had been OBJ
tained of leakages only possible
through officers belonging to the minis
try of war, and it was necessary to
catch the guilty party by material evi-
dence. Hence the bordereau.

aiately thrown around on three sides of
the town and the final advance was
made. But it was found unnecessary to
fire shot. Not rebel was visible and
the town was entirely abandoned. Two
hours later, after conference between
General Lawton and General Hall, the
column proceeded towards Morong to
drive away any rebels found in that
quarter.
When the start was made for Anti
polo in the morning the Oregon regi-
ment and the Ninth infantry were left
behind as rear guard and there was
considerable firing along their lines in
clearing the enemy from the high hill
between their position and the lake.
