WHAT THE LAW DECIDES.

The right to use the name of cor poration is held, in Huntingdon ys. Pal mer (R. I.1, 43 L. R. A. 95, to be dis tinct from the right to use the name of articles manufactured by it. and not to pass with the latter on purchase Of the plant, machinery, stock and vfs- ible property of the company.
 The enforcibility of stockholders liability in jurisdiction outside of that in which the corporation was ere ated Is sustained in Bell vs, Farwell (Ill), A L. R. A. s04, in case of Kan sas corporation, on the ground that the stockholders liability under Kansas law is not penal, but contractual.
 The suficiency of presentment and demand of payment made on a receiver pendente lite of an insolyent bank, and of notice of non-payment by him. to bind an indorser of a negotiable cer- tificate of deposit issued by the bank before It's insolvency, is denied in Jack son ys. McInnis (ore.), 43 L. R. A. 12S.
 The right of married woman to maintain an action Tn her own name to recover damages for the alienation of 1 her husbands affections is sustained in Beach ys. Brown (Wash.), AJ L. R. A. IA, under statutes abolishing disabil- ities of married women, and 1t is also helo that procuring divorce will not preclude the action.

 The constitutional provision against ex post faeto laws is held, in Murphy vs. Com. (Mass.), 43 L. R. A. 154, to condemn statute which alters or may alter in substantial manner the posi- tion of those who committed offenses before it's passage, even if in partic- ular case it might operate more bene- ficially than the prior law would have done. And this rule is applied where a statute changed the provision as to de- ductions for good conduct and permits to be at liberty.
 The evidence of expert witnesses as to the value of services is held, In Hull vs. St. Louis (Mo), 42 L. R. A. 753. to be merely advisory. to be given by tha jury such weight as they deem 1t en- titled to. or to be altogether disregard ed by them, if, from all the facts and circumstances in evidence, they believe the testimony Of the experts to be un- reasonable.

president of the Maine State college,
now the University of Maine, and at
one time pastor of the Pine street M. f..
church in Bangor, died Thursday at his
home in Portland at the age of 80 years,
death resulting from an attack of the
grip Rev. Mr.. Allen was for many
years prominent in Maine as a clergyman
and instructor. He exerted most ben
eficial influence over the State college
during the eight years he was president.
He was paster of the West End church
in Portland for a time, but for some
years has been living in retirement with
his wife and daughter.
The death of Commander-in.C Chief
Sexton of the Grand Army of the Re-

manders-in-c chief, Col. Sexton is the first
to die in office. Under the constitution
the senior vice commander succeeds
until the vacancy is filled; and the Office
thus devolves upon Captain w. c. Jor-
dan of Cincinnati. The national council
of administration, however, has the
power to fill all vacancies and when that
