AN INTERNATIONAL FAvoR1TE.

The New York Tribune says:
Apenta, Hungarian aperient water,
bottled at the springs, Budap Nst, is
a purgative water but of a mild and
non-irritating character due to the
presence of a large quantity of sulphate
of magnesia, considerably exceeding the
sulphate of soda. Pref. Althaus of
London author of THE Spas of Eu-
rope" says that this is an excellent
combination, rendering the water su-
perior to the other aperient waters
which contain too large a proportion
Of sulphate of soda. Analyses made at
different times by Prof. Lieberman of
Budapest. Tichborne, of Dublin. and
Pouchet. of Paris, point to the con-
stancy of the constituents of Apenta,
confirmed by a certificate of Prof Won
Fodor.
Profs. Althaus, Bogoslowsky, Lance
reax and Liebreich lay great stress on
the medical supervision at the Apenta
Springs, and the constancy of the
water.
The name of the Apollinaris, company,
which appears on the Apenta labels, is
in itself a guarantee of quality, but
with the additional Endorsements of the
scientific and medical men quoted here
it is easy to understand why Apenta
ranks so high as a laxative and purga-
tive and is used in all the principal
hospitals of Europe and the United
States.

THE NEW COURT ROOM.
It Is Not Considered Large Enough to
Admit the Curious to Trials.

The new court room, which was used
yesterday, for the first time for Grim
inal business, is criticised as being too
small to accommodate the public. But
many think that is an advantage, as
the tendency of the courts today is to
exclude from the court room as much
as possible all those who are not di-
rectly interested in the case on trial.
1t certainly cannot be considered wise
for young boys and persons who come
merely out of curiosity, to be in the
atmosphere of a criminal court room
during a session. The criminal court
is created for the distinct purpose Of
hearing evidence against persons
charged with crime, and is not holding
sessions for the purpose of satisfying
the prurient curiosity of certain classes,
who like the excitement of seeing some
one tried for a criminal offense.

A Suit Entered That Will Interest Law
yeFs and Insurance Men.
Walter z. Smith has brought suit
against Herbert Chandler and Norcross
Bros. (trustees) to recover money al
legged to have been advanced by the
plaintiff on the first premium to the
defendants policy in the New England
Mutual Accident Association of Bos-
ton. The suit will test the bankruptcy
law, which says in one section that a
discharge in bankruptcy shall not af-
feet a creditor of the bankrupt unless
the creditor had notice or knowledge
of the proceedings.
The plaintiff will claim that the bill
was incurred before the defendant
Chandler went into bankruptcy, and
that the amount that was advanced
to pay for the premium was not in
cluded in the list of debts. There are
q number of other technical points that
will be brought out, and will make the
action an interesting one among law
yers and insurance agents, although
the sum involved is small.
