Statements, He Claims.

4 suit to recover $500 that is in some
respects unique has been commenced
by William D.Flagg OF this city against
Patrick T. Greed OF Taunton. Deceit is
the ground of the suit, though the
misrepresentation was made TO a rep
resentative OF now famous class Of
industrialism, promoters.
Mr.. Flagg asserts that the defendant
in the early part of this year was tho
owner and patentee of a certain device
for heating cars and that the defend
ant being desirous OF obtaining capital
for manufacturing his patented article
made certain false representations. inc
representations were made, Mr.. Flagg
says. 20 william X Logee and were &c
the effect that the defendant and one
John Stetson had manufactured the
article for making the interior OF cars
comfortable az a profit during the year.
1897 OF S23i0 and In 1898 the manufacture
had proved so profitable that a dividend
of six per cent. could have been paid on
an investment of 100000.
Mr. Logee was at the time according
10 Mr.. Flagg engaged i'm the business -
promoting and Incorporating compan-
ies for the purpose of selling and manu-
featuring under patents. After long
talks over the patent Mr.. Creed. IL is
empowered Mr.. Logee 10 form
a corporation TO purchase the patent
one OF the first that Mr. Logee sought
TO interest i'm the new corporation was
Mr. Flagg who says the brilliant pros
poets OF the company We're laid before
him and so convincing was the asser-
tion of profits from the patents in the
two preceding years, he relying or
their truth advanced the sum of S541419

tfon. ~
OF the amount advanced $4,000 was by
mortgage on real estate in this city
The cost of getting up the corporation
was s234.19
Mr.. Flagg asserts that he soon found
that the story OF s2340 profits i'm 1897
from the manufacture of the heating
device was false and that there was no
such profit made in 1898 as would
amount TO six per cent. on 100000. The

These butterfly bedclothes are often

times a bed is made so that each sep

from the lord chamberlain. The lord
chamberlain himself does not, of
course, read all the plays submitted to
him, but the work is passed on to the
examiner of plays. who is not always
man OF education or discretion and
who i'll many cases has been suspected
of letting things pass because man
ayers have made it profitable to him
TO close his eyes to supposed faults.
The story is told of one Of these eX-
amlners who was moved to strike out

submitted to him. There used to be
an old rule that the word heaven"
should be substituted III stage lines
wherever the name OF any OF the per
sons OF the Trinity came up. So this
clever examiner changed the line to
read "as drunk as heaven"
