In Justice Court.

A novel suit was tried before Judge
Thompson Yesterday. d. d. Burn
ham brought suit against F. h. Gil
bert for an accounting in an alleged
co-partnership in real estate trans
action. Gilbert claimed that there
was no suit against him because
there was no original summons on
file in the Justices office. The doc
ument disappeared in some manner
from the court files. As Gilbert did
not admit legal service as defendant
in the case, he declined to testify
in the case as witness for the
plaintiff. He was in the courtroom
and could not disregard the sum
mons, but he demanded his fees in
advance as last bubble under the
statutes and rule of practice. His
tees as witness was forthcoming
immediately. lhen.h he refused tc
testify on the ground that the case
had no legal standing before the
court, on the ground that no copy
OF the summons was on file.

with destruction either from being
swamped by the waves or dashed to
pieces against the steel sides of the

who seizes it just as the boat is about
to fly off on tangent, grasrs his oars,
draws in his line and rows away with
his collection.
1t would be thought that one or two
such deliveries as this a week would
be all that a mans nerves could stand.
But, and the statement is almost be-
yond belief to most people, during the
busiest months of the season these
large vessels sometimes pass at the
rate of one minute, and none of them
is ever missed. 1t is on the records of
the postal department that on one &C.
casion there passed, during the space
of an hour, 81 boats that required the
attention of the three men who do this
hazardous work. The number of pieces
of mail delivered during that time was
1886, the collection amounted to 80
pieces, and the vessels from whom the
mail was obtained and to which 1t was
delivered were passing both ways,
sometimes at the same time, deliveries
and collections being made from two
| boats simultaneously.
The average number of collections
| amounts to one every four minutes,
day and night, during the period of
navigation, so that there is little rest
| for the three men. Immediately one
| collection has been made another
steamer is seen making the regular
code of signals employed to hail the
mail boats, and frequently in the teeth
of binding storm the boatmen must
row out to the next vessel, make col
| lection and delivery, to be almost in
stantly hailed by another boat and go
through the same hazardous perform
ance again. The business men of De-
troit and elsewhere who receive the
mail in this way little know how much
risk is taken by those who have col
| lected it from the passing vessel.
know of no occupation in which men
can be engaged which requires such
great skill and bravery as that of col
lecting and delivering mail upon the
water in the way 1 have described

so unique in it's character as to be the
only one of the kind in the world.
There are three men here who risk
their lives twenty times a day in the
discharge of their duty. 1t is only
right that their names should be given.
They are NJ. L. Randall, j. Mammes
and William Yates. To this trio of the
hardest worked and most haZardouSly
engaged of all the postoffice employees
is entrusted the delivery of the mail
to the vessels that pass up and down

winter. The costume de vile is made
of all sorts of materials to suit the
weather and the occasion, and just now
it is adorned with a fashionable collet

trimmed in colors to match those of
the dress of the dogs mistress. Then
we have the seaside costume, made of
white pique or of other light stuffs and
completed with a small sailor hat to
shield the delicate eyes of "toutou'
from the glare of the sun. One fanci-
full Parsienne has determined to COM
plete the costume during her visit to
Trouville this summer by having a
small parasol made of red silk, which
will be held upright in a ferrule fixed
in position upon the dogs back. This
will also serve as an en-tout-cas in case
of showery weather, to keep the glossy
hair of the precious beauty" dry.
Could the foolishness of women go
further than this? The Americans in
Paris may well be amazed at the eX-
traordinary fancies of this nation.

TO HOLD THE HANDKERCHiEF.
An Invention That viii Prove Boon tc
Pocketless Women.

No man can understand how a wo-
man can get along without pockets.
Each suit of his clothes contains from
Is to 20 pockets, and every one of them
is filled with various articles which he
deems essential to his happiness and
peace of mind. But woman, if she has
a pocket at all, has located it where
she can never find it with a search
warrant. 1t has long been a mystery
and wonder to the average man how
women did without pockets, and also
wonder to the aforesaid man why wo-
men did not lose more of these flimsy
creations called handkerchiefs than
they did, for it was marvel to them
! how the women managed handker-
chiefs, pocketbooks and bundles, held
up their skirts, carried oftentimes an
umbrella, and only had the one pair of
hands for this rather complicated per-
Torrance.
For some time past the women have
endeavored to solve the problem of do
ing more than one thing at time. and
have utilized their pocketbooks for the
purpose of carrying their handkerchiefs
to the great detriment of the former
! and the very untidy condition of the
| latter.
| Some enterprising manufacturer has
| conceived the idea of ''pockethandker-
chiefpocketbook' (this word need not
be pronounced very often, else there
| might be some trouble), and an article
meant for this double purpose is now
| on the market.

collar has been changed from a mere
steel or leather circle of servtude into

Now comes the rousseau proper. This

is composed of undergarments for night
and day in lawn or silk for summer
and fine flannel for winter. Then there
are the pocket handkerchiefs in linen,
embroidered with lace, which are
placed in a pocket on the left side of
the over-mantle and bearing the arms
or the initials of the owner. The boots
and shoes are of various patterns and
materials-kid, calfskin. patent leath-
err or india rubber. The latter find
most favor, and they are laced or but
toned au choix. Doggie has his boots
put on when he goes out, and they are
taken off for him at the door as he
comes in, so that he does not dirty the
carpets or the staircase after his
promenade in the Bots.

ment, and it often happens that the
boats are running at the rate of Is
miles an hour. The carrier goes out
when the waves are rolling high,
at the risk of being sunk by the
swell from the passing vessels during
the process of making the delivery, of
being cut down through staying a sec
ond too long in the pathway of YES
sci or of failing to make a good shot
when getting near the boat to throw
the line, and so being left to founder
in the wake and upset in a billowy
sea.
The great steam freighters of the De-
troit river drive drought the water at
prodigious speed and the great waves
they make in their passage cause a
connection of the waters in which it is
necessary for the man in the small
boat to exercise the greatest care to
prevent swapping. When the leviath-
an of the lake is seen approaching it

coming vessel is so near that a line

tice has made the three men so skilful
at this kind of rope throwing that they
seldom miss. The rope in nearly every
case lands almost at the feet of the
deck hand on the large vessel
The sailor picks up the rope, makes
it fast, and instantly the mail carrier
finds his boat at one end of strain
ing line, pitching and rolling in the
great swell of the steamer. Quick as a
a flash he throws his bag of mail tc
the deck of the steamer, where it is
caught by a deck hand, and then
standing in the boat and bracing him

mail carrier waits for the shore mail
if the signal has been previously giver
that there are letters to be exchanged

assemble Joint High Commission.

Washington, May 26.-Thare Is little
doubt that our government is inclined
to retaliatory consideration against
Canada by the discouraging results of
the negotiations in London looking to
the clearing of the field for the re-
assembling of the joint Canadian com
mission. 1t is gathered that the Brit
ism foreign office. which had seemed
desirous to meet MIR. Choate's advances
in the spirit Of compromise that prom
Used well, has been again influenced by
tanadas refusal to agree to anything
less than a concession Of all her de-
mands, which has stopped all pro
greSs.
The department Of state has referred
to the treasury deuartmcnt the ar
rangement of a plan to protect the in
terests of the United States and a de
cision from Sec. Gage is very soon eX-
pected.
The treasury department has now
two courses open. both being retalia-
tory. The first is the preparation of an
amendment to the tariff act largely in
creasng the duties on lumber and
and forest products imported in the
United States from Canada. There is
possibly another course. A section Of
the Dingley act authorizes the United
States government in cases where
countries impose an export duty to add
the equivalent of such export duty to
the import on such goods coming to
the United States.
The Canadian government is not i'm
posing in 50 many words an export
duty on logs but it has prohibited their
expectation. The question before Sec
retary Gage is whether this pr0hibi-
tior may not be regarded as in prin-
ciple the same thing as an excessive.
and therefore, prohibitive export tax.
If this view is sound the treasury has
already at hand the measure of re
taliation it seeks in the shape of an
order prohibiting the importation of
Canadian logs into the United States
which would bear very heavily upon
other provinces in Canda outside of
Ontario.
