There is no doubt that the plan Of
taking winter holiday in Switzerland
is being more largely adopted of late
years, for all who try it discover the
country is more lovely in winter than
in summer. During December, Janu-
airy and February in the high Swiss al
titudes there are never any stormy
days, and winter sports, such as tobog-
gaming, skating, hockey on ice and
sleighing all offer ample opportunity

Aguinaldo's bravest warriors are

A gentleman who failed on the New
York stock exchange the other day
made the following candid confession
of his position: lowing to the banks
refusing to certify our checks we are
obliged to suspend temporarily"
There were. TO be sure, some incidental
circumstances, such as the gentleman 8
having bought $4,000 shares of stock
without having any money to pay for
them. Perhaps the banks will try to
excuse themselves by showing that the
gentleman had no money in their
hands to meet the checks which they
discourteously refused to certify. But
there can be no doubt of the substan-
tial accuracy of the gentleman's state
ment.

IMPORTANT LAW CASE.
Defendant wins Decision BY Means o. Novel
Legal Propssitish.

I A telegram has just been received by
Hon. Orville d. Baker Of this city. from
! the supreme court Of New HAMPSHIRE
announcing the final decision in favor
of his clients, the defendants, by the
| full bench of that state, in the case of
Morrison VS.. The Burgess Sulphite
! Fibre Co.
1t will be remembered that this was
a case in which the jury had rendered
verdict in favor of the PLAINTIFF for
$12. 900 for very severe personal injuries
sustained by him in an accident in a
pulp mill belonging to the defendant
corporation.
No evidence was introduced by the
defence at the trial before the jury, but
Mr.. Baker rested his defence on a
somewhat novel proposition of law
which is of great interest to corpora
tions in all accident cases. The legal
proposition was that every servant in
using the machinery of his employer,
must use it strictly for the very pur-
pose for which it was constructed and
adapted by the employer and if the
servant puts any part of the machinery
to a use different from that for which
it was intended, he does so at his own
peril and the employer is absolved from
any obligation toward the servant
while engaged in such unauthorized
use.
In this particular case the plaintiff
used the covers of the machine as a
platform or standing place on which
to do other work in the mill. In the
court below, the judge left the whole
matter to the jury as a question of
fact, but the full bench of New Hamp-
shire has now fully sustained Mr..
Bakers legal proposition and held that
the judge should have directed a YER
dict for the corporation as requested
by Mr.. Baker.
Under the practice in New Hamp-
shire. the court had the extreme power
to order final judgment for the defend
ant without going through another
jury trial and in this case it has been
so ordered.
This decision will be of much interest
to corporations in Maine as well as
New Hampshire. AS soon as a copy
of the opinion is received. an abstract
will be published by the Journal for its
readers. Judge Foster of Maine. was
counsel for the plaintiff and Mr.. Baker,
with several New Hampshire lawyers,
was counsel for the defendant.
