SUIT OVER WATER RIGHTS.
Appellate Court Gives Hearing on Ease OF The
lonsdale Co, vs.. ClI Of KOunsookst

There was a hearing before Chief JUS
tice Matteson and Justices Stiness and
Tilinghast in the appellate court today
of the equity case of Lonsdale company
ct al. VS.. city of Woonsocket and Sam
uel p. Cook. city treasurer of the city
OF Woonsocket on the respondents de-
murrer. The complainants' bill states
that the complainants are either cor
poraiGns, copartnerships. trustees OF
individuals and are owners of certain
mill privileges and water rights STU
ated on the banks of the Blackstone
and Pawtucket rivers. also on an arti-
fetal trench connected with the Black
stone river and known as Sargent )
Trench. all OF the privileges being To-
Gated in the towns of Lincoln ana cum
-berland and -frr-ttte cities of-eehtral
Falls and Pawtucket. Tse complain
ants claim the right to the unobstruct-
ed use of these privileges and rights
for the use of the waters of the Black
stone river for the operation of their
mills by reason of 20 years unobstruct-
ed use thereof. In addition to the privi-
leges mentioned claim is made TO the
brook called Crook Falls. In the bill
the statement is also made that in 1885
Woonsocket constructed system OF
water works with the brook named as
it's source and bY various means car
ried the water into the city. Complain
ants also assert that they have been
for a long time deprived of nearly all
the waters of said brook and predict
that at some future time they viii be
entirely deprived of the waters OF said
brook
The RESPONDENTS urge four reasons
OF demurrer To the complalnants Dill.
First because the complainants are
improperly Joined as ccmplainants
i'm the bill: second. because the COM
plainants have each NJ them a plain,
adequate and complete remedy at law;
third. because of laches. the complain
ants having waited for 16 years tn ME
their brtf II ruurt of eaHitr-triA- not now
give them relief. and, fourth. because
the bill should be against the city treas
urer OF Woonsocket alone ana notice
of the claim given TO the city councii
forty days before bringing this action.
CITY Solicitor Erwin j. France made
a long argument I'M support of the de-
murrer amid claimed the bss TO the
Backbone river by the taking OF the
water by the citv Of Woonsocket SO far
as rhe loss concerned the con\lainants
was as III a womaa had held pail OF
water under the caves OF house on
the hanks OF the river and caught the
water falling from the house instead
of letting it flow into the river. Mr..
France paid special attention 10 the
matter OF laches.
Henry w. hayes. who was associat-
ed with James NJ. Ripley. argued the
demurrers were insufficient. The court
held the case for advlsement.

The Trekkina Wagon.

The South African wagon is a long, heavy cart mounted on four wheels, as a rule, with a sort of canvas tent over the back half. leaving the front clear to carry the miscellaneous furniture of it's owner, drawn by sixteen, eighteen or twenty oxen, curiously fierce-look- ing with their immense spread of horn. sometimes as much as eight feet from tip to tip and rarely less than six. but in reality as patient and hard-working beasts as one could wish to find. Their mode of progression is certainly slow. but there Is strangeness and a fas- eination about 1t which may draw men to it almost as the Alps draw their deVetees. In front there marches the 'voorlooper." ;" generally small boy leading the two foremost oxen by a rein or rope passed through their nos trils. The driver walks alongside with the long and terrible whip he uses so unsparingly, or else sits on the front of the wagon and gets off occasionally to lash up the whole team with unfail- Ing impartiality. The traYeling Is all done at night, starting a little before sunset and marching until perhaps Ii or 1z o'clock; then there Is a halt till a little before the first signs of dawn. when they go on again till the sun be- gins to get hot overhead, and then they lie for the day.-GentlemRn's Maga. zine.

DOROTHY DREW.

Dorothy Drew, Gladstone's famous grandchild, whose loving companion ship added so much to the happiness of his later years, is the subject of very interesting sketch in The Young Woman. We learn from it that before her 4th year her political views had become decidedly radical to her mind the house of lords was a most repre- hensible institution, and the house of commons was the maiastay of the na- ton. When the house of lords was spoken of in her presence as the "up- per house" she would retort: "Yoa mean the house of commons!'' Shs visited the latter during her Sd year, aud for a time thought herself in church. The frequent rising and sit ting of the members. soon undeeefved her, however. and from these move ments and the oratorieal gesticulations of the speakers. she fancied herself In 3 gymnasium-=an impression derived from a previous visit to such a place. For some time after this the commons was the place where granddad goes to do his 'nasties," or, on occasions
 the place where granddad goes to do his lessons"
 Her visit to Queen Victoria was momentous episode in her young life, and from the article above mentioned we quote the narrative of her delight flll experiences:
 Dorothy relates how she went down inc very long. corridor to put on her new white frock and her silk gloves. and how grand servant all dressed In red came to say that the queen was waiting. The Indian man whom the queen likes very much was at the door, and the next moment Dorothy stood before the great queen whom her grandpapa had served for sixty years. But Dorothy thought nothing of the vastness of the empire, or of the length of the reign which all the world was celebrating. It was nothing to her that the kindly gray-haired lady before her was mistress of one-quarter of the whole human race. To Dorothy she was just another woman like grand mamma, with white cap on her head: and Dorothy eourtesied and kissed her and told her her name was "Dors,e" ]" that she called Mir Gladstone grand. papa, that they all had pet names al the castle, and so on and so on; and many interesting pet names were re- vealed on both sides. The queen put on her glasses and asked me to 20 to the other side of the room. so that she could see me better,'' Dorothy ex- plains, and then she took a little jewel-case and said, This is for vou' opened it and saw a darling littls brooch. with diamond V and a dia- mond R and turquoise I. and little crown at the top made of red enamel l courtesied and kissed her hand and said, Thank you very much. She looked very nice and kind. and I liked her very much. Then the queen kissed the little debutante again, and Doro- thy and her mother returned to town"
 hipltng, who is numbered among the celebrities who have sought Dorotby's acquaintance, tells an amusing story of their meeting. They had been in the grounds surrounding Hawarden for some time together, when Dorothy's mother appeared, saying:
 Now. Dorothy, hope you have not been wearying MT. Kipling" "Oh. no: not bit" was the frankly unconyen- tional reply. MT. Kipling has been wearying me"

One May Get Some Valuable Lessons ln
 Swimming.

One May Get Some Valuable Lessons an
 Swimming.
 Washington Star: "A swimmer, no matter whether he is a beginner or an expert, cannot improve upon the ad- vice of his great-grandfather which is to go to brook or swamp and study the manner and methods of the frog, 7" remarked an ex-ehampiOn of the New York Athletic club to writer for the Star recently. "The most expert swim mers in the world are tyros compared to the Iaziest bullfrogs. The difficulty with all swimmers is that they spoil the effect of the stroke by the recovery. When frog starts off he draws his legs carefully and slowly up under him un- til he is in the position of 8 man sit7 ting on his launches. Then he sud- denly gives mighty spring in the water, kicking his legs out. behind him, but almost directly crossWise. After the kicks his legs are slowly drawn together by his motion through the water until they hang out behind him in a perfectly rigid form. Every toe of his web feet is held out as straight as an arrow and then nothing retards his motion through the water. Then again he slowly and carefully draws his legs in and repeats the per- formance. You will notice that in drawing the legs up to his body for a second kick the frog reeedes a little. This is owing to the action of the up- per leg on the water, and it corre- spends exactly with the similar move ment on the part of a man. The first thing frog does is to give his body good start through the water and he holds himself in such a way that he gets the whole value of the stroke. A man starts out with just such a kick, but after he has gone two or three feet he will begin to swing his hands for ward or draw up his legs in such 8 fashion that they offset the whole value of his work. He stops his own body half way before the effect of the stroke has spent itself"

Broke Up the show

An actor tells of tragic experience he had recently while playing to an audience in little town in southern Texas. In one of the scenes of the play, in which he acts the villain. he hides himself in a barrel, that he may listen to a conversation between the hero and heroine, whose future we'll being he is trying to destroy. In the town hall there was little if any property" material. A barrel would do to conceal himself in. so "hired hand" was sent out to find one. He succeeded. He slipped in the barrel with ease. The man and the woman appeared, and while they were in the midst of an animated conversation there came howl from the barrel tha. fairly shook the rafters. This was 5l- lowed by the eayesdropper craving out with his hands to his face, and he in turn was followed by a swarm of wasps. The wasps got among the stage people and those in the audience. which created so much confusion that the show was broken up
