n. Paul Deschanel recently received
a mark OF attention which 1t is safe to
say was never offered to any man be-
fore. He attended banquet in his
honor somewhere in France, and on
entering the dining room he found
every dish on the table printed with
a photograph OF himself. All his life,
from babyhood to deputyship, was
spread out over plates and tureens.
His sensations must have been worth
analysis. Each carried away his plate
as a souvenir.

PARLIAMENT or sARk.

Chsss Piaids Is . Hosss Of Hereditary
Lessslssor.-
The other day ] attended the open
ing Of the. a. yet, unreformsd Parlia-
ment OF Ssrk. says q writer In the
London Daily Mail. There Is but one
house. and it is called the Chefs Plaids.
So far 80 good, for believe every sane
political reformer agrees that the mod
el state should have one legislative
body only. But alas, this single house
Is exclusively house Of landlords ex-
clustvely . house Of hereditary leEts-
lators. The people of the island are
not allowed to elect their representa-
tives. Land alone is represented; not
wealth, nor intellect, nor the tiling
masses. nor the submerged tenth. And
the land Is represented In peculiar
way. When the island, then uninhab-
tied, was granted in 1865 by Queen
Elizabeth to Heller de Carteret, Lord
of st. Ouen in Jersey, it was stipulated
that he should colonize 1t and should
grant parts of 1t to 40 Of his retain
ers or followers as copyholders or Gus
tomary tenants under him. It was also
stipulated that these tenants, though
they might ALLEVIATE their holdings
upon payment to the lord OF thir-
tesnth of the value. might On no ac-
count subdfvide them Thus there are
still In the island the original 40 e.
tates, and the holder Of each estate oc-
cupfes with regard to the seiEneur or
lord, almost exactly the same posi-
tion as 'leude" or baron occupied
In the old feudal days of Normandy
with regard to the sovereign The eI-
tsting Parliament Of Sark Is, in effect,
the assemble des leudes ct barons"
Of the island. The law OF strict primo
geniture obtains, and there would be
today 40 hereditary members Of the
Chefs Plaids but for two circum-
stances, One is that II a tenant hap
pens to be woman she does not Sit
though she may vote in the house by
proxy. The other is that. in the course
Of years. certain OF the members. by
Inheritance or purchase. have acquired
more than one estate. There are now,
therefore, not more than about 80 ac-
tual sitting members Of the Chefs
Plaids. They representa- they can
be said to represents population OF
some $40 souls and an extent Of about
1875 acres.

"OrC LCISC IIstWs
Important Decision.
Judge Coultrap Grants Temporary
Injunction.
Marietta Register. ]

An oil SUIT. entitled The Muir
dock West Oil Co. VS.. S. B. Logar, f.
Spence and John Henne," was tried
in Common Pleas court several weeks
ago, as described in the Register at
the time. Judge Coultrap reserved
his decision at the time and late
Thursday afternoon the Clerk of
Courts received the official document
conveying his decision in the case.
To sum the paper up, Judge Coul-
tray granted temporary injunction
against the defendants under bond
of $1,000.
The decision is very lengthy and
goes over all the details whereby
judgment could be arrived.
The piece of property under litiga-
ton is the John Lightner farm in
Palmer township. This farm is next
to the famous Yarneil lease and is
considered to be worth about S75, ,Oo0.
SIX months ago the farm was not
worth a tweutieth part OF the sum, but
the sudden large production cf oil IN
that neighb"rhood has wrought the
magic change.
On December 22d, 1899, the farm
was leased by Messrs. Logan, Spence
and Henne. BY the provisions of the
lease, they were to commence well
in sixty days, or pay rental of $50
month. If the well was paying
one, the lease would hold good; if not,
the lease would be considered void
by either party.
By the testimony, the well was
drilled by the defendants and was a
small producer. and the question was
whether the well was paying or not.
Elaborate testimony was taken on
this point.
The Judges opinion was that there
was no doubt as to the true execution
of the leases, but there were three
points under which the defendants
lease was faulty: Indefinite and uncer-
tain time, no mutuality of obligation,
and for reason of failure to find oil in
paying quantities. He decided that

rainy season has set in, but it is no:

1t is nice and cool and fine breeze

holiday with the natives also, and
they are out in full dress. There is
native band here and they make
pretty fair music. They have sboUt

they do not work on holiday, so
there is not many working days in
the year. They are so slow at doing
anything that person gets disgust

not have much of an idea of cooking

Fleeing THE CONSUMERS.
Business Methods of the Great
Barbed Wire Monopoly.

Concerning the Barbed Wire Trust.
Chairman James W. Jump has given out
the following from the headquarters Of
the National Democratic Committee Of
Commercial Travellers at St. Louis:
THE story Of the Barbed Wire Trust
and how it has saved money for the Amer
lean people can be told in very few
words. This trust was formed in 1898,
two years after Mr.. Mckinley was elected,
in the State OF New Jersey. Previous to
the formation Of the trust the cost OF
down at common points in North Texas.
One year afterward and subsequent to the
formation of the trust the price was s4.61
a hundred at the same Texas points.
THE Republican tariff fixed an import
duty on barbed wire of 81 a hundred to
protect this delicate infant industry, and
at once the precious infant got up on its
hind feet and began sending barbed wire
to Liverpool for $3.50 laid down at that
port. At the same time Texas farmers
and planters were paying the tariff 81
and s3.61 besides. or s1.41 beyond the Liv-
erpool price outside of the tariff. So
much for the vast saving of trusts and the
fostering influence of a discriminating
Inc AHeTlCdu ptOPic Wouluu l
stand for everything, and today barbed
wire is selling at the same Texas roints
for 1920 a hundred. or the Liverpool
price with exactly the tariff added.
while this trust has been fleeing the
consumers of barbed wire. it has been
playing havoc with the full dinner pail
of the statesmen. Before the trust was
formed there were 2s4 men on the road
selling barbed wire. Today there is rot
one man on the road selling barbcd wire.
All Of them were discharged. Barbed
wire is now sold through jobbing houses
altogether. and while the statesmen rep
resenting these 1obbing houses land who
are paid by commissions on their sales)
are compelled to sell it they are not al
lowed / cent commission on the sales
OF barbed wire.
This is small part of the thousands
OF statesmen that the Hanna Mckinley
partnership has knocked out of job"
