Albert H. Waite

ed States Circuit Court of Appeals this
afternoon reversed the decision of the
Circuit Court in the case Of city Of
Santa Cruz VS.. Albert H. Waite, and
decided that the city of Santa Cruz
was not liable to pay S36O,OOO worth

The contention of the defendant and
appellant was that the bonds were in
valid because they had not been is
sued in accordance with certain ordi-
nances of the city of Santa Cruz. The

CRAvEN-FAIR CASE.
A Demurrer Argued and Taken I'm

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 4-The at
torneys in the Craven Fair litigation
had another inning in Judge Troutt's
court to-day. The matter under dis
cussion was the demurrer of Mrs. Net
tie X. Craven to the amended answer
OF the Fair heirs to her application for
family allowance of $1,000 a month
as the widow of the millionaire.
The answer asserted that Mrs. Cra-
ven was estopped from sharing in the
estate because she did not file her ap-
plication within the statutory limit. 1t
also disputed her claim of being Sena-
tor Fairs widow, and asserted that she
had no interest in the estate whatever.
Several hours We're devoted to the
argument of the points at issue, after
which the court took the matter under
advisement.

TROUSERS FOR GERMAN GIRLS
rhe Kaiser Did Not Object, But the
DurgOmnster of Fischhauser
Was shocked.

A contribution towards the question
of women's emancipation comes to the
Berlin Lokalanzeiger from Fischhaus-
er, small village in East Prussia, says
the Chicago Tribune.
A 19-year-old girl there had been left
in sore straits through the death of her
father, who had been intrusted with
the administration of an estate belong
ing to the community. But she did not
despair.
Though only frail creature she sud-
denly developed an abundance of en-
ergy and resolved to earn her means of
living by following. the same occupa-
ton as her father. AS a step towards
the purpose she addressed letter to
the German emperor, asking to be al
lowed to wear mems clothes, which
would enable her to overcome all diff
culties.
The empeyor's answer was encourag-
ing enough: "She would be granted
the privilege of donning male attire
conditionally upon the assent of the
burgomaster of the village"
The girls hopes were high when she
went TO see the village potentate to in
form him of the emperor's reply. But
they were doomed TO failure, for, alas.
the burgomaster did not see his way to
grant her urgent request.
"He could not give his consent" he
explained, "to such shocking thing
which would he most dangerous to the

he had the honor to preside"

\ private letter from bugler in Gen.
MacArthur's command in the Philip

laughable incident about the Filipino
method of warfare. The story of Col.

says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
When. shortly after the fall of Calum-

thrown up breastworks on a shrub
covered hillock. the Americans crept
forward Just before dawn. and while
a heavy rain was falling. With the first

feet and ran forward silently until n

they yelled, and fired, and redoubled
their pace.
Suddenly they heard the Filipino
commander cry out, in fairly good Eng
l:sh:
Come on. boys-give it to 'em!" At
the same time abandoning the position,
and retreating at n dead run.

as effective in Filipino camp as in an
American-only in quite contrary

WHEELMBN VICTORIOUS.
They Defeat The Normal School in a Game
Astounding in Brillan, Plays.

Seldom indeed have the base ball
going people OF Bloomsburg had the
opportunity of witnessing more In
teresting game of base bali than that
which took place on Normal Field,
Saturday afternoon, between the
Bloomsburg Wheelmen and the Nor
NAL School. Notwithstanding the fact
that it was the Wheelmen's first game,
and the people in general were not
looking for real close score, the at
tendance was quite large, and de-
cidedly enthusiastic in spirits.
The Wheelmen had for their bat.
tery Mathewson and Stanton, of Buck
neil University, and the work cannot
be praised too highly. There is not
much to be said about the fielding as
neither side had a great deal of it to
do. The neatest bit of work perhaps
was enacted by third baseman Coff-
man when he gathered in hot liner
that came at him with the velocity OF
cannon ball, and retired the batter
at first.
1t may be said In extenuation Of the
Wheelmen's poor showing at the bat,
that this was the first time the team
has played together, and they showed
lack of practice with the stick, de-
feet which time and little coaching
will remedy.
For the Normal, there is no excuse
to be made. They played just as
good ball Saturday as they ever play
! ed before, but they were powerless at
the bat. Mathewson had the whole
nine counting stars. His ins and outs
were too much for Normal batsmen,
and they went down before him like
new cut flowers before a tropic sun.
The score follows:
