as II he had In so many words testified
with respect to that particular COM
pany.
On cross.examination, Judge Hand
was asked whether a railroad company
which had leased its main line to an
other company, as the Erie and Wyo-
ming has leased part of its line to the
Erie, could, nevertheless, build a
branch line parallel to the leased line,
and detrimental to the interests Of the
lessee. He answered that such facts
did, not constitute any reason for re-
stricting the powers of the company
to construct a branch line, and that
If the lessee desired to prevent the
construction of a rival line to the
leased line, he must secure himself
against such competition by an ex-
press covenant.
Judge Hand was restricted to a very
strict, but polite, cross-examination,
which, however, only brought out with
more emphasis the opinions which he
had expressed upon the direct. The
commissioners and large audience
listened to him with close attention,
while he made very clear and inter-
esting statement of the law of Penn
sylvania upon these points.

Problems Solved by Chance.

A LTHOUGH MANY of Steinitzs victo-
res were marvellous revelations of
intellectual power. yet one of the strang-
est of his experiences was one that
showed no intellectual application. says
Holland in the Philadelphia Press.
Steinitz had been concentrating his en-
ergies for weeks over the proper method
of breaking down n certain kind of attack
In chess. and he had worried himself al
most into Illness over his failure to dis
cover how the problem could be solved.
One day he was playing with his
daughter. who really acted as a sort Of
dummy antagonist and who has no espe-
this attack that he might further try
the world, without any premcditation or
thought, his daughter made a move
which instantly solved the problem. 1t
was pure accident. except that it oc-
Cured to the girl that it was a natural
move to make.
So, too. Joseffy, who had been absorbed
for weeks In an attempt to get peculiar
effect when he played a certain musical
composition, and who was in despair at
his failure, one day heard exactly the
effect produced which he had been SEEK
ing. He hastened to the piano. to find
there a member of 'his family drumming
carelessly upon the instrument. Joseffy,
with quick ear and sharp eye, saw how
this, by certain movement Of the fin
gers, was produced, pushed his relative
from the stool and with joy reproduced
what the child had so thoughtlessly and
by pure accident executed.

Refused to Be Labeled,

VERY OLD PERSONS and very young
persons are apt to be great sticklers
for etiquette. Queen Victoria is an eX-
ample of the one. and Lord Beauchamp,
the present British governor of New
South Wales, of the other, relates the
New York Post. Since the latter has oc-
cupied the government house at Sydney
he has been at great pains to make OFF,
cial receptions as imposing and dignified
as possible. With this end In view, lie
has ordained that only guests of a ccr-
tain rank should be permitted to APP
proach the presence through designated
doors. To these blue tickets are award
ed. to others of inferior mold, white. AT
a recent function, through some mis-
management an important public man
received a blue card while a white one
was sent to his wife, and when the pair
reached the audience chamber there was
trouble. The lady declined to be separat-
ed from her husband. or to abandon the
aristocratic blue ranks. An aide-de-
camp endeavored to reason with her and
explain the commotion that would ensue
If blue and white were suffered to mingle
together. But the fair one was equal 10
the occasion.
Nonsense" said she, as she pressed
forward; what do you take us for? a
seidlitz POWDER"
The aid collapsed. And yet 1t Is some-
times said that women have no sense of
humor.

One Thing That Won't Stop.

MARIA MITCHELL. who has been
AVA called the Mother of the Stars
when professor of astronomy and direc-
tor of the observatory at Vassar, was an
inspiring teacher. and. in spite of her
brusque manner and severity. was
adored by her pupils, relates the New
York Commercial Advertiser. Every
spring just before the commencement,
she gave "dome party" to the girls.
Small tables were placed around the large
telescope in the observatory, and roses
from Miss Mitchells own garden bright
ened the atmosphere. Nonsense poems
were a feature of these breakfasts and
the astronomer was proud of her skill in
writing them. She was not without a
keen sense of fun, In spite of her con-
stant and absorbing studies, as was
shown by her dryly consoling observation
to an awe-stricken student whom she
was leaving one day In charge of the in
struments of the observatory. Looking
back at the worried face of the girl, Miss
Mitchell said
"And. remember if the chronometer
stops the universe won't stop"

y
roit as well as philosophic.
l. In his speech before the
University of Pennsylvania
last week he took occasion to ex-
press his admiration of the Mon
roe doctrine which. he said. was
founded on sound principles Of justice
and self protection. and then he bland
ly added:
"The question now arises whether It
is not time for this country to extend
the Monroe doctrine to Asia. The
Philippine islands are situated on the
outskirts Of Asia. and may be said to
be at tho very door of that continent.
If ii was necessary for President Mon
roe to declare any attempt to encroach
upon any portion of the American con-
tnents, extending over 5000 miles,
from Alaska to Patagonia. as danger
Gus to your peace and safety, what
shall you say to this when you find
that the mainland of Asia is not more
than 600 miles distant from the Phil
ippincs? IL it was thought proper not
to allow Puerto Rico or any of the is
lands on this side of the Atlantic to
pass into the possession of any foreign
power. would it be advisable to look
with Indifference on any encroach-
merts on the mainland of Asia. es-
pecially the eastern portion. which Is
nearer to Manila than Puerto Rico to
Florida? do not apprehend any en-
croachment will take place. bur the
Monroe doctrine, being the fixed policy
of your government. the natural logic
is that it should be applied to that part
of the world where this country has
possessions. This policy is by no
means a selfish one, hut as 1 have al.
ready remarked is founded on Justice
and self protection, and If persistently
carried out it will tend greatly to the
preservation of peace wherever it is
enforced"
The applicability of these remarks
to China's need of protection against
foreign encroachmcnt is apparent 1t
would certainly be opportune for China
if her minister's advice should be
quickly followed by our government:
but so far as the United States is con-
cerned the time is not yet ripe. 1t may
come however. There is possibility
of its coming in the Americanization
of the Philippines and in a spreading
OF American influence upon the main
land of Asia which will make further
spoliation Of China impossible.

AN ANCIENT AFRICAN. wearing the
frock coat, srectacles, battered plug
hat and bcaming and placid countenance
OF the wandering negro minstrel, sat In
the gallery of the Stock exchange the
other day. placidly surveying't the bowling
multitude. relates the New York Mail
and Express.
A broker was one of the first to spy
him. He was one of that large and rep
resentative class Of individuals who can
not see black face pass without maxi
ing facetious remarks. Ho promptly
waved his hand.
"Howdy, uncle! he greeted him cheer

Uncle beamed blandly through his spec
tacles, but made no sign of recognition.
Uncle. uncle, I say!" shouted the face
tious man of the floor.
"Oh, this Is rich!' he exclaimed, SELLING
one friend, then another; Isn't uncle a
winner!' Soon dozen lusty-voiced
brokers lined UP and with heads thrown
back, they sarg for the gloriication of
the solitary guest in the gallery "old
Black Joe.'
A hundred brokers turned to listen. 1t
was pretty good singing, and they ap-
plauded and watched uncle. The latter
looked placidly through his spectaces
without any particular sign of enhanced
interest.

At this point uncle arose and stepped

v T IS NOT EASY to understand

Of Havana under Cuban inde-
pendence. but it is easy to ap-
preciate the opposition to- this appoint
ment which exists in violent form
among the more radical Nationalisls
in Cuba. These people are So bent on
realizing their long dream Of indepen-
dent nationality that they ache TO
measure strength with the vatican,
and this not so much because Of any
deep seated feeling of insubordination
as simply from the desire to let the
world know that they are at last their
own masters.
1t illustrates the perpleXities Of
American duty in the new possessions
that the first step which the dissenting
Cubans took in their campaign against
the new bishop was to send a deputa-
ton to Governor General Wood to ask
him to use his influence with President
Mckinley to get the pope to recall the
foreigner and to name Cuban bishop
instead. There probably was not a
man in that deputation who had not
been told times without number that
the civil authority Of the United states
has nothing to do with church politics;
but it would seem that there is still a
great deal of skepticism on the subject.

sands of the natives have had the

where misinformation is practically
