CASE IN WHICH A MASTER WAS
HELD LIABLE FOR THE DEATH
OF A SERVANT WHILE ENGAGED
IN HIS WORK.
The court says:
The refusal of the court to set aside
the verdict and grant new trial is
assigned as error.
The case having been properly sub
United to the jury. their verdict can
not be disturbed. unless the evidence
Is plainly insufficient to sustain IL.
There Is evidence tending TO show
that the deceased was between 16 and
II years of age at the time of his death;
that he was OF weak mind; that he
would go to sleep when on duty in
dangerous places. and had what some
oil the witnesses denominatcd the
sleepy disease"-had to be watched to
protect him from injury when in dan
gerous places; that his mental inca
pacity was known to the defendants;
mat he was placed at work in a dan
gerous drift. under the authority and
control OF a foreman who was only II
OF Is years of age, and was not COM
petent (of which fact the defendants
had notice. to have charge of the dam
gerous work OF cleaning out Il drift
INTO which large quantities of mud
water and barytes had been precipi-
tated day or two before; that the
defendants had notice of the dangerous
condition of the mine: and that while
the deceased was working in the dan
Gerous drift referred TO there was L
new fall and rushing in of water and
mud, which caused his death.
The evidence of the defendants tends
to show that the deceased was not
mentally weak: that he had been work
Ing for the defendants in various ca
pacties for more than two years; that
he was an Inexperienced and capable
servant; that. although the foreman
In charge was young, he was an eX-
perienccd and competent man for the
" ork; that. while the place in which
the deceased was working was dam
gerous. 1t was so from the character
or the work, and not so ~ reason of
the negligence on the part Of the de-
fendantS; that the deceased knew it's
dangerous condition. but made no effort
to escape when told to do so, although
the other servants working with him
In equally or more dangerous positions
did escape without injury.
We shall not attempt to state the
details of the evidence, which covers
more than 100 pages of the printed
record, but have merely called atten-
ton to what it tended to prove as to
material questions on either side. TO
show how conflicting 1t was. The Ques-
lions involved were those of negligence
ana contrinutofy negligence. They are
questions peculiarly within the prov
ince of the jury, and especially where
the evidence Is conflicting. The jury
saw and heard the witnesses. They
found for the plaintiff. The learned
circuit judge who presided ut the trial
refused to disturb their finding.
Neither can we, since we cannot say
that the evidence is clearly insufficient
to support it, The judgment must be
affirmed.

BRUSH v. SMITH.
Supreme Court OF Iowa.
April Il. 1900.


WHERE VETERINARY SURGEONS
TESTIFIED THAT CERTAIN HOGS
HAD HOG CHOLERA. IT WAS
ERROR TO INSTRUCT THE JURY
THAT EXPERT TESTIMONY IS
RECOGNIZED BY THE LAW AS
THE LOWEST ORDER OF EVI-
DENCE.
This was an action for damages for
the breach of contract as to the sale
OF hogs.
The court says:
Plaintiff produced two veterinarians
who gave evidence respecting the dis
ease known as hog cholera" and who
testified that the hogs plaintiff pur-
chased were infected with the disease
at the time of his purchase.
Here follows that part OF the in
struction of the court as to the value
of expert testimony which was OBJ
jected to. and the court continuesl
That 1t announces the correct rule in
certain class OF cases as to where
the evidence relates to the eenuineness
OF handwriting. is conceded. Bat 1t is
argued that in the instant case it was
erroneous. The right of the court TO
give cautionary instructions regarding
such evidence is admitted but IL is
claimed 1t was error to instruct in this
case that expert testimony was The
lowest order of evidence. No Doubt.
this evidence. being merely the opin.
ions of witnesses. should be received
with caution; for 1t is we'll known thar
a witness testifying to an opinion is
more likely to be mistaken than a
witness who testifies to fact.
/. But, while 1t is to be received with
caution. it is not always true that II
IS of little value, or the lowest order
OF evidence. In some cases it might
be of great value. and of the highest
character. The disease among animals
denominated Cholera" is SO We'll
known and established has been the
subject of so much investigation by
experts. and its symptoms and effects
have become SO we'll recognized by pro-
fessional veterinarians, that we think
evidence given by them, based on
proven facts. should not be disparagcd
as was done in this case. AS was
said in State V. Townsend: I'm view
OF the peculiar character of the case.
we do not think that medica, evidence
should be regarded as the lowest order
OF evidence. The attempt 70 grade the
evidence was calculated to misead the
jury. and the instructions cannot be
sustained" Reversed.

You may assuredly find peace if you
are resolved to do that which your
Lord has plainly required.
There is only one place where a man
may be nobly thoughtless-his death

God always gives US strength and
Sense enough for what He wants US to
do. If we either tire ourselves. or
puzzle ourselves, it is our own fault.
Surely no one can always know what
is right? Yes, you always can for to-
day; and if you do what you see of it
to-day you will see more tomorrow.
No che can ask honestly or hope
fully to be delivered from temptation
unless he has himself honestly and
firmly determined to keep out of it.
There is no music in rest that

ART AND MUSIC.

French painters should have room
enough at the 1900 salon, as the archi-
tect of the building has provided them
with nearly four miles of hanging
space.
\ collection of 100 old masters is ex-
hibited in the Sedelmeyer galleries, in
Paris. One of the most brilliant paint
ings in the exhibition is described as
u Vatican of the highest order.
1t is probable that Chartran s picture,
"The Signing of the Protocol which
was painted on a commission from ii.
C. Prick, of Pittsburgh, and which may
be presented to the white house coliec-
ton, is to be reproduced. 1t is at pres
ent on exhibition at New York, together
with other works by Chartran.
Pepito Rodriguez Arriole is a three
year-old Spanish pianist who is aston

to play correctly and with feeling and
to be already composing. He beats

SOCIALISM DEFINED.
VIII Not Abolish or Destroy Capital, But
VIII Simply Abolish its Private
lwnerShin

The word socialism has two diff
ferent meanings. When used in one
sense it means science which deals
nomena. 1t is also an explanation or
Interpretation of this economic and
social phenomena. 1t explains the
laws that underlie our present in
dustrial system, the changes that oc-
cur through the action of these laws
and seeks an answer to the following
question:: What will be the result
of the action of these laws?' The
socialist answers that the inevitable
outcome will be higher state of So
ciety wherein the land and machinery
of production will be owned in COM
mon by the people in their collective
capacity. and that free access to this
land and machinery will be granted
to all and that each and every indi-
vidual will obtain the full product of
their social labor, since there will be
no private capitalist who can retain
the larger portion of the product as
he does to-day. This does not mean
the abolition of capital, but does mean
of both land and capital. The So
cialists say that this must be accom-
plished because the development of
modern industrial society demands it,
and if it is not accomplished in the
near future, capitalism will Through
its crises and pauperization of the
masses) lock itself in its own embrace.
He further points to the fact that
since the development of the trust the
| capitalist has become a useless pari-
site on society, from the fact that he
| no longer performs the functions re-
quired of him, viz: that of superin-
tendence, etc. These functions are
now performed by hired employees;
they can just as well work for society
as whole. The second manner in
which the word is used is when one
| endeavors to picture the socialist
| state of society as it will be when
capitalism ceases to exist. An eX-
| PLANTATION, or rather definition, of
| the word in this sense would be, a
society where ruling and oppressed
classes had ceased to exist and where
equality of opportunity prevailed
and where each and every individual
would be rewarded according to his
efforts. A society where the means
and opportunities of obtaining life,
liberty and happiness" would be
owned in common, but where the
products produced would be the prop
erty of the individual, which would
be according to the amount of work
| performed by the individual. To
sum up, the first conception of social
ism may be called the path that leads
us to the goal, while the second con-
ception would be the goal itself
