HALL v. CARDELL.
Supreme Court OF Iowa

LEAVES CUT FROM A FAMILY
BIBLE ARE ADMISSIBLE TO
PROVE THE AGE ORA CHILD
ALTHOUGH THE ENTRIES WERE
NOT MADE AT THE TIME OF
HER BIRTH. AND WERE COP
led FROM ANOTHER BIBLE.
A PARENT MAY ACCEPT THE DE-
LIVERY OF a DEED MADE TO
AN INFANT CHILD.
The Court says:
Plaintiffs father testified that she
was born March 10, 1872 and he pro-
duced leaf from the family Bible that
gave that rs the date OF her birth. II
is said that the fathers testimony is
pased on the entry i'll the Bible, and
mat entry is not admissible, because
not made at the time of the birth of
inc child, and for the further reason
that entries appearing thereon were
copied from large book into the one
from which the leaves We're cut. The
record does not sustain this ASSUME
ton. John Hall, the father. testified
positively to the date OF the bTrth, and
his testimony is not disputed
Concede' for the purpose OF the case.
that leaves torn from the Bible We're
1nadmissible. and yet there Is no doubt
as TO the time of plaintiffs birth. We
may say, however, that the leaves
were admissible. their weight to be de-
termined by the court.
But defendants say there Is no evil
dence either of the acceptance or of
delivery OF the deed. The presumption
is that the deed was delivered on the
day OF Its date or Acknowledgement.
In addition to this, we have the dirocr
evidence of plaintiffs father, 70 the
effect that after the deed was signed
and acknowledged. he placed 1t in
plaintiffs lap and that his wife then
took the instrument to hold for the
benefit of the plaintiff.
Parents are the natural guardians
of their children, and as such, may ac-
cept the delivery OF deeds made to
them.

The theatrical season at Ocean View
Pavilion Theatre closed last night, and,
considering the cool weather, the audi
ence was large. The closing week has
been marked by good attendance every
night, and the bill for the week was on
the usual high plane that has pre-
vailed during the entire season. The
Ocean View mana gement displayed the
best possible judgment when Mr.. JOS.
lie Faucheur. the genial treasurer of
the Academy of Music, was selected as
manager for the summer. Although il
was Mr.. lie Faucheur's first experience
in handling exclusive vaudeville bust
ness. he has acquitted himself in such
a manner as to win the unanimous an
prevail Of all the patrons of the Payil-
ion Theatre, and he will, in all proba-
bility, be engaged to perform the same
duties there next season. 1t is gene
rally remarked that the attractions
this year have been better than ever
before. and the general management of
this place of amusement has been bet
Ter than during any previous season.

what are known as the standard railroad
stocks. The principal factor in the mar
ket has been the disappearance of fears
regarding the money market Last week s
bank statement showed a large decrease
in the item OF loans indicating that banks
which had purchased government bonds
for the purpose OF converting them into
new two per cents and taking out circu-
lations were paying off these borrow
tngs. This process is likely to be a rapid
one, and the supply of money available
for stock market purposes has evidently
increased. Rates for call loans We're how
ever, only slightly easier, and the activi-
ty of the stock market naturally tends
to augment the demand for funds.
THE feeling of the, street in regard to
the financial outlook is nevertheless one
of confidence, and the disposition to dis
count the effect Of the currency bill upon
the bank circulation has been marked.
Large interests have consequently felt
themselves able to give support to their
speciaities, and at the same time the pub
lie both here and abroad has shown a
readiness to participate in the movement.
