The pro.Boer meetings are becomip 2
quite fai, but just VIA they are
intended to accomplish is something OF
a mystery. The Beers have thus far
demonstrated their ability to care for
themselves without the aid or consent
of any nation on earth" and the resolu-
tions of sympathy emanating from this
country are somewhat like it would be to
sympathize with IA bull dog that was
mercilessly shaking rat terrier. If the
people really desire to be philantropic
and express sympathy where it is needed
they should adopt resolutions of condol,
ence for John Ball and his army.
These pro Boer meetings have thus far
proved something of farce. Dom Paul
is proving himself as abundandantly
likely to take care of himself as our
fore fathers were more than century
ago.

Great Northern EMPLOYEES Restiye.

ST. PAUL, Feb. 1.-The situation on
the Great Northern railway is un-
changed, although the restive feeling
among the employees is more pronounced
and the possibility of trouble seems
greater. General Superintendent Ward
and the grievance committee held long
session last night. 1t is understood the
situation was thoroughly canvassed, but
no decision reached. Preparations for
trouble have not been abandoned and if
n strike should be declared the railroad
expects to have a complete force of men
ready for all places vacated.

An Exceptional Case.

A case where husband and wife can
be tenants in common was instanced
yesterday in an opinion from Judge II
M. Edwards, in the partition proceed
lngs of Maria Katherine Kolb and John
Gottleib kolb. her husband, against
Daniel Brennaman.
The parties to the case We're agree
able to the partition. but Judge Ell
wards was somewhat in doubt as to
whether or not the partition could be
legally made. and took the matter up
for investigation.
undivided half interest each in a prop
erty, they hold it in entirety, and as
was decided in the Whitlock case, from
Scott township. they could not make
partition.
In the present case. however, a
peculiar circumstance takes it out of
the control of this decision.
The lot in question is on Remington
avenue and is 40x1OO feet in dimensions.
kolb purchased the lot from the Paw
nee Coal company, February 12, 1874.
December I, 1874 Kolb and wife, by
deed, conveyed an undivided one-half
interest in the lot to John Appert, and
on the same day, Appert conveyed the
said undivided one-half interest to Mrs.
kolb individually. BY this arrange
ment an undivided one-half was left in
the husband and the same in the wife.
The husbands one-half interest was
sold at sheriff's sale, June 80, 1892 to
II. NJ. Hannah. and on December Z,
1893. the Hannah interest was sold at
sheriff'S sale to Brennaman, the defend
ant in the present case.
Judge Edwards finds that "the estate
as vested in the husband and wife, De-
cember II, 1874, was not an estate in
entirety, but was an estate held by
tenants in common, and therefore sub
ject to partition"
The husband, kolb and Appert We're
tenants in common, and when the wife
succeeded to Appert's half, she became
tenant in common with her husband

MISSION DONATION DAY.
Wants Of the institution Set Forth
in Appeal.

The following appeal has been is-
sued for the Florence Crittenton MIS-
sion:
Friday OF this week has been appointed
'Donation Day" for the Florence Critienton
Home. This has not been the custom OF this
worthy charity, but the loss. this year, of the
public school THANKSGIVING Day donation has
made It necessary. AS long ago as the mission
work was started its share OF the Thanksgiving
donation from the public schools has amply
provided the home with winter vegetables, but
this year the children were asked to bring
money instead, and s,ch donation was to he
given to one institution. the Lackawanni hos.
pi,al, and thus the deficit.
The home has especially felt this loss, as also
has sister institutions and no small number OF
private families. IL Is hoped that the public
at large and the children who formerly added
Their gifts will take this opportunity and re-.
srJnd bountitully to the appeal. Muslin. shoes,
tubbcrs. ginghams, vegetables and canned goods
are most needed. but anything in the line of
housekeeping will be put to good
Money is necessary at all times and very ac.
ccptahlc just now. Ladies will be at the home,
II: Harrison avenue, during the day to receive
s'ich donations and we trust large amount Of
supplies may come. The work is the rescue Of
tie fallen and shelter for the homeless girls
ana women who may have a desire to reform,
nut nowhere to 60 and no one to lead them.
May the dear Lord add His blessings
