Genoa, 500 people were burned to
death on the charge Of witchcraft. It

One of MOOdy's Jokes.

D. L. Moody was always full Of fun
He saw the comic side Of things. and
as boy enjoyed putting practical
jokes upon any one whom he well
knew. In the rear of his Uncle Sam
uels retail shoe store IN Boston was
cobbler's repair kit-seat, tools, avis,
etc, and the seat was, as usual, a piece
Of leather concavely shaped downward
at its center.
One day the workman on this saucer
shaped seat felt it becoming uncom-
fortably damp. then really moist. He
rose and saw damp spot on the seat
Supposing that few drops of water
had been accidentally dropped upon the
seat before he sat down to his work,
he folded an old newspaper and placed
1t and sat comfortably down to resume
his work. But the moisture seemed
strangely persistent. Rising again, he
found the paper becoming soaked with
water, and he stood perplexed, his
hammer in one hand and the soft, wet
paper In the other.
Looking this way and that in his
perplexity, he soon heard half chuc-
kle, half smoker, which could no longer
be depressed, and there behind the
door was the country boy, learning
how to be useful In Il city shoe store,
as he really and rapidly did, but TAX
ing his fun as he went along. lie had
placed a shallow dish of water close
up to the undorside of the center OF
the leather seat, which only touched
the water when the weight of the oc-
cupant was upon it, so three or four
small awl holes served his purpose for
that Observation-Disclosures.

Court Holds Against City Council
in Franchise Suit.
GOOD CAUSE OF ACTION.
Allegation of Violation of Charter
Provisions, Judge Moore Says,
Justifes Further Examination
Into Questions at Issue-Applica-
ton for Temporary Injunction
to He Heard Next Tuesday.

In the suit brought by w. d. Wood and
others against the city council to enjoin
the granting of the consolidated street
railway franchise Judge Moore, of the
superior court yesterday handed down
decision overruling the demurrer OF the
defendants TO the complaint.
The court did not go into the question
of alleged irregularities in the procedure
Of the council and made it's ruling upon
the ground that enough was alleged in
the complaint to justify going further
into the matter OF the right of the coun-
Gil to grant a franchise which it was al
legged would in effect extend the life OF
existing franchises contrary to the terms
of the city charter.
The hearing of the case, on the motion
of the plaintiffs for a temporary injunc-
ton, was set for next Tuesday.
The plaintiffs claimed that the threaten

ed action of the city council and the
franchise which it was proposed to grant
was invalid and contrary to the city char
ter. The principal argument advanced
was that the city charter prohibits the
extension of any existing franchise at
any time except within three years of its
expiration. it being claimed by plaintiffs
that the effect of the proposed franchise
would be 10 extend existing street rail-
way franchises which do not expire with
in three years nor within even ten years.
Judge Moore declined to pass upon the
alleged irregularity of procedure by the
council I'm granting the consolidated fran
chise. He contented himself with hand
ling the one point that the applicants
were making an effort to obtain fran
chise which virtually meant an extension
OF present street railway franchises. He
declared this to be In violation OF the city
charter forbidding any franchise being
granted which is a continuation or ex-
tension of an existing street railway fran
chise until within period Of three years
from the date of the expiration Of such
existing franchise.
Judge Moore then stated that he would
take up the matter Of the proposed appli-
cation for an injunction as soon as the
attorneys were ready Counsel agreeing
he set Tuesday as the date for hearing
the application for temporary injunc-
ton
Judge Moore, In conclusion, said that
the most knotty problem he had 10 deal
with In the case was as 10 the jurisdiction
OF the court in matters Of this kind. The
point had been raised by the defendants
that the court had not the right 10 in
