College Wins It's Case.

The case of M. Porter VS.. E. W.
Strong came before the court Mon.
day. Tuesday being non-judicial
day the jury was excused until
Wednesday morning and at that
time the matter was again taken
up. 1t occupied all the forenoon
and did not go to the jury until
after dinner. The case was an
action to recover money for logs
cut on the lands of Mr.. Porter.
The plaintiff held that these logs
were worth $186.S2, and asked for
the further sum of 800 as dam
ages. The jury rendered verdict
in favor of Porter in the sum Of
$125 for the logs but failed to find
that he had been at all damaged.
The testimony went to show that
Strong had entered into contract
with Mrs. Clark for certain tim
Der ON her lands. These lands sur
rounded a seven-acre tract own ed
by Porter, and Strong's loggers got
into this tract, and cut some tim
Der. Porter claimed that he
warned Strong's workmen not to
cut these logs.

Practical Charity.

In these autumn days. when the winds
begin to whistle somewhat disagreeably
through cracks and crevices, and the
thrifty householder begins TO look after
double windows and storm doors, it is not
amiss to think of the poor folk who have
TO get on without these Iuxuries. Owing to
the way in which the price of various COM
nodities has gone up, while wages remain
the same. this promises 10 be a hard win
ter for the poor, and in Washington, at
any rate, there is no reason why they
should not be well cared for In this 1ati-
tude there is not the biting weather which
makes existence expensive in some other
cities. but there is cold enough to make life
very unpleasant for those who live in tiny
shanties or in badly built tenements.
The work Of caring for the destitute in
this city is not as thoroughly systematized
as it might be On general principles the
police are the best distributors OF charity;
they know where want exists and how to
relieve it; and anyone who sends a hun
dred dollars to one Of the police stations
can be reasonably sure that none OF the

would not be bad plan, however. for char

the police by helping in the work OF distri-

this way people not in desperate need, who
yet are in want Of help, could be found and
assisted. Generally speaking, it is better
to keep people from becoming paupers than
to help them after they have reached that
condition There are persons who are

There is something to be said on bosa

Russin,s Queer Play.

It is perhaps unfortunate that, just as
the diplomatic situation respecting China.
appeared to be clearing up, and an AMIGA
Die agreement among all the powers pos
sible, Russia should feel called upon to
make a second break of the general con
cord. Probably it might be said on the
other side that the Manchuria protecto-
rate scheme, and the seizure of land at
TieRtsin, are natural results of the threat
suspected in the third article of the An
glo-German agreement. Be that as it
may. it is unfortunate that the prospects
for an early understanding are not better
than they appear TO be.
II the Russian play means anything in
particular, it would seem to be a cha1-
Ienge to both England and Germany to
uncover their hands They have said in
effect that they viii Jointly oppose the
seizure of Chinese territory by any State.
Unless there is some mistake about the
news in our Tientsin dispatches, Russia
has effected such seizure and announced
it to be by virture of the right of con
quest. The area of the annexed land is
insignificant. but it is quite large enough
to establish a precedent If the Gar cen
take a dozen square miles by right CT
conquest unopposed by his rivals. there
is nothing apparently to prevent him from
grabbing thousand square miles, or ten
thousand, on exactly the same grounds.
We shall watch the action of the Berlin
and London Cabinets in connection with
this matter with exceptional interest.
What they do may let US fairly well into
the secret OF that mysterious third article.
