lot of COWS he ever saw. Lawyer Dunn
then produced letter, written by the
defendant to the plaintiff, dated Feb.
l6, in which he said he intended to send
a check for the last load of cows, but
was waiting as one of the COWS was de-
fectfve, Mr.. Doherty said that he never
considered the COWS as his. He said
that he had mortgaged the COWS with
other property to jeremiah Greed of
Gardner. He produced certified copy
of the mortgage made by the town clerk
of Templeton. Mr.. Warfield objected
on the grounds that the town clerk s
presence was necessary and that the
original mortgage would be the best
evidence.
Mr.. Dunn put Mr.. COMBS on the
stand and denied a statement made by
the defendant that the latter should
receive pay for keeping the cows. He
said that in March Mr.. Doherty told
him that he did not care to put any
money into the cows. He said the cows
appeared to look worse and worse each
time he saw them. He denied that Mr.
Doherty ever saw any of the COWS I'M

sumed July Is.

POWERS OUT TO WIN.

J.. Fred Powers left Worcester Last
mght on the boat train for New York
where he will go to Bayonne civ ~
compete In the all-round champion-
ships this afternoon. p'o"-
me championship meeting is held
unaer the auspices Of the Amateur

Real estate dealers and owners of
large estates in cities seem to have
been almost the only ones to take ad-
vantage of the Torrens land registry
court in Massachusetts, but in Illinois
the farmers have discovered that the
system is a great convenience to them,
and they are availing themselves of it
as far as possible. The most striking
advantage appears to be the facility
with which loans may be contracted
upon registered real estate as collateral.
A matter of fifteen minutes is all that
IS needed for the transaction in the
recorders office, the Torrens certificate
being accepted as positive proof of title,
without further investigation Thus
time is saved and there is no more
delay in getting short-time loans on
real estate than there would be if
stocks and bonds We're offered as col
lateral. In western and southern
states, where personal property is not
supposed to be sufficiently abundant
among farmers to serve for the basis
OF loan, the utility of the Torrens
system seems clear enough, but there is
one very noticeable difference between
Massachusetts, and Illinois. Bankers,
lawyers and insurance companies here
are by no means unanimous in accept
ing the certificate of the Torrens court
as conclusive and final, but still insist
In making their own independent
search of titles. Possibly comparison
OF the laws of the respective states
might show some reason for this differ
ence of sentiment, but the chances are
that the real explanation is nothing
more than the difference between ex-
IRENE eastern conservatism and the
ready western disposition to take up
with newer and more expeditions
methods,

The national bank circulation has de-
clined from $214,O16,OSS in January to
$2O5, 462,00O at the end of June. Here
is loss of more than $500, 900 in six
months, to be accounted for largely by
the high price of government bonds
and the easy money market. The mat
ter is of some consequence in view of
the scarcity of paper currency.

Some of those restless Cubans are
adding to the humors of the heated
term by demanding a monarchy. The
persistency with which all Spanish peo-
pies turn to absolutism as the only
form of government adapted for them
would not be so disastrous if fewer men
were inspired with the belief that they
were born kings. 1t is the rival preten-
sions to the divine right that make
most of the trouble.

OF course it was petty piece of bust
ness for the French government to ask
the czar's ministers to compel the au-
thorities of Odessa to cancel their con-
tract for American water pipe and buy
the French article instead. The Rus
slams said they would "see about it,"
and they did. They found that the
American brand was cheaper and bet
ter and could be delivered more
promptly, and Odessa will stick to the
contract. The Boston Herald says this
is proof of foreign prejudice against
American manufactures and must be
recognized and dealt with as such. On
the other hand, it appears to be quite
as much tribute to the selling capa-
city Of American goods and proof that
Russia is not sacrificing everything on
account of her alliance with la belle
France.

THE NoRTHFIELD MEETINGS.

that he has not seen lately more re-

session at Northfield There are about
800 student delegates in attendance (S4
from Yale alone) and the holy spirit IS
moving among them nightly. The
young women's conference, which
opens July IA, bids fair to rival it in
attendance and power. Over 400 dele
gates have already registered lar
gest number in the history of the move
ment. Robert r. Speer, who has been
received by the men with the utmost
enthusiasm, is to speak every day AT

Massachusetts contribution to war ex-
penses under the new internal revenue
law amounted to $5,126, 43O. That is to
say, the collections for the year just
closed exceeded those of 1898 by that
amount. The total collections were S.
153,92O, and the cost was four-ninths of
per cent. or $4,000. The doubling of
the beer tax yielded $3,229.471, an in
crease of $1,4OO,0Oo over the preceding
year. The legacy tax brought in S464, =
4S4, and the sale of documentary stamps
rose to $2,329,5S7. OF course some por-
ton of the $5,126,oO0 increase of receipts
over the year 1898 is to be accounted for
by the revival Of business, but the sum
represents as nearly as may be the
states share of the war tax
