LOVE RULES ALL.

And said that my limbs were oldf
And said that my blood was cold
And that my kindly fire was ded
And my poor withered heart was dsaA
And that might not sing Of lovef
How could to the dearest theme
That ever warmed minstreps dream,
So foul, so false recreant provef
How could I name loves very name
Nor wake my harp to notes of hamef
In peace Love turns the shepherds reed;
In war be mounts the warriors steed;
In halls in gay attire is seen,
In hamlets dances on the green.
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove,
And men below and saints above,
For love is heaven, and heaven is love.

Candidate for West Point
Wouldn't Answer Questions,
but He Would Fight

West Point. N. Y, July 2i.-sunday two
candidates for admission to the military
academy had fight at Highland Falls.
One OF them was a new arrival and the
candidates. who had been at the falls for
month started in to haze him.
They selected two OF their number as a
committee to do the preparatory work.
The committee began in the usual way by
asking the new arrival all kinds or nom
sensical questions. The candidate told the
committee that he would answer no ques-
tions. but was quite willing 10 fight each
candidate separately and incidentally. IL
would give him much pleasure TO begin
with the one who had been the most
aggressive i'm his questioning.
Such an invitation could not well be re-
fused, and "a ring was soon prepared In
a field on the outskirts or the town.
The rumor of fight soon spread and
fully five hundred spectators were on the
grounds when the battle began. The in
quisitor went TO earth during the first
round. and he was so well done up at the
end of the third that his comrades car
ried him away.
The new arrival waited for others. but
nobody was prepared for thrashing. The
candidates have been busy all day, trying
10 get the chief inquisitor I'm shape to re-
port with his companions at the academy

AN INJUNCTION.
Granted the Moxie Nerve Food
Company Against Mr.. Belts
Of the Park Casino.

Before Judge Brown, in the United
States District court this morning, there
vas a hearing upon the petition for
preliminary injunction, brought by the
Moxie Nerve Food company of Saco, Me-,
against Charles T. Belts, lessee of the
Casino at Roger Williams Park
The contention of the complainants was
that the Simpson Spring company was
making a preparation known as carbon
ated nerve tonic, which was put up i'm
bottles of a similar shape and form as
those used by the Moxie Nerve Food
company.
1t was also contended that Mr.. Belts
had sold this preparation and had used
a regularly marked "Moxle" glass. and
the complainants alleged that the intent
was TO deceive purchasers who asked for
Moxie..
For Mr.. Belts, Il was claimed that
there was no intention to deceive that
while the bottles might bear "A resem-
blance to one another, the lettering on
the simpson Spring bottles was entirely
different.
Mr.. Belts also contended that while
the Moxie people used "A reddish-brown
label. the Simpson Spring people used a
white label. and therefore the bottles
could be distinguished with ease.
Judge Brown. after hearing the argu-
ments, said that he thought the an
pearance OF the bottles clearly answered
all questions, and he issued an order
granting the injunction prayed for.
Berry and Upton OF Boston appeared for
the complainants and Seeber Edwards of
this city for the respondent.

The opinion of the appellate court was
handed down today in the case of James
McAioon VS.. License Commissioners Of
Pawtucket.
Chief Justice Stiness wrote the opinion
of the court and Judge Tillinghast filed
dissenting opinion.
Judge Wilbur sat I'm the case as the
writ of certiorari because he claimed
that after the license commissioners had
granted him license they, before he paid
for the license. met and revoked it,.
According to the record on April "a.
1900 license was granted to McAloon
and on April 2e. 1900. without notice
to petitioner, the license was revoked or
rather the vote by which the license was
granted was rescinded.
Upon the record the petitioner claims
that the action of the board, resembling
the previous vote granting the license was
illegal, because the board acted without
notice to the petitioner and because 1t
had no further jurisdiction Of the mat

had been passed.
