Owing TO the geographical position of
Sweden, almost all articles of Interchange
with foreign countries are conveyed by
sea, says Consul General Winslow in a
report to the state department. Calcu-
lated according to value of the entire i'm
port 50 per cent is carried by Swedish
vessels, by Norwegian, SO by other YES
sells and per cent. by land; while of the
export, AZ per cent falls to Swedish yes
sells, to Norwegian, 40 to other vessels,
and per cent. crosses the frontiers. The
Swedish merchant service at present num-
bers 1,00S steamships of N7, 492 tons, and l.
1874 sailing vessels of 2775S2 tons.
The Royal Board of Trade supervises
the merchant marine in Sweden, and, in
order to facilitate the shipping, 1t has
recommended and suggested several re-
auctions in the ordinary fees, such as con-
sular fees, fees for the register and record
office of shipping and seamen, fees for
gauging ships, etc.
The materials used by the Swedish ship
and marine engine builders are, as a rule,
manufactured at the Swedish steel works,
and Swedish material is always speci-
fled. Prices for steel plates vary from
S55 to $65 a ton, and the same apply to
balks and L iron. The timber and lum-
Der used is generally Swedish, with the
exception of teak, and a few foreign
woods of better class.

NEGRO GAVE MUCH TROUBLE.
Police Had Hard Time with Him--A
White Man Arrested.

Valdosta, Ca. Feb. "A negro named
Herring gave the police here a good deal
of trouble yesterday, and it was thought
for awhile that they would have to shoot
him to capture him. He was wanted for
abducting a negro girl from home and at
tempting to carry her to Florida. The
girls mother swore out the warrant and
the police went to the depot to make the
arrest. Herring backed in car and pull
ed his pistol, defying the officers. They
closed in on him with their revolvers and
nothing but steady nerve saved them from
the desperados gun. The grit of the
officers unnerved him and he gave in.
white man named George Eunace,
alias George Ellis, who skipped bond at
Waycross a year ago, was arrested FIVE
miles below here yesterday.
The new bridge over the Little river is

ARMLESS ARTIST DEAD.
Charles Francois Fe1u Achieved
Fame by Painting Pictures With
His Feet.

His Feet.
From the New York Herald.
Brussels, Feb. S.-Felu, the Belgian
painter, is dead.
Although born without arms, in 1880, the
late Charles Francois Felu so trained his
feet that he achieved considerable fame as
a painter, being best known as a copyist.
Several specimens of his work are owned
in this country.
His father was an .employe of the treas
ury department, who moved from Waer-
maerde, West Flanders, where his son
was born, to Antwerp in order that the
late artist might continue studies begun
in Ostend and Bruges.
Besides being a talented artist, NJ. Felu
was graduated in liberal studies and trans
lated several works of Horace into French
verse. His writing was firm and legible.
At one time he intended to become
teacher, but gave up the idea for art. He
made remarkable copies and painted por~
traits, said to be of real merit.
Sitting in front of his canvas on an or
binary stool, he held his palette with his
left foot and painted with his right, easily
and firmly. He opened his color box.
squeezed the tubes and set his palettes as
easily as an artist with the usual equip
ment OF arms and hands. He wore
sort of mitten on his feet and put his boots
on himself without assistance. 1t is said
that he even shaved himself.
NJ Felu had commissions from the Arch
duke and Archduchess Charles Louis OF
Austria. who visited his studio In Ant"
werp, as did the Infanta Isabel of Spain.
in 1885. The latter sent him the cross OF
the Royal Order of Isabella the Catholic,
in recognition of his talent.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Supreme CoartiMakes Some New Law
For This State-0ld Decision Over
Turned.

The decision in the Supreme
Court of Appeals in the case of
Richmond VS.. Henderson, from Ty
Ter county, is the most interesting
and important to the largest mum
Der Of people that has been handed
down by that court lately 1t de-
cided that in case tried before a
jury in Justices court appeal may
be taken the same as in a case tried
merely before the justice himself.
This oyerrules the decision of the
same court found in 25th West Vir-
ginia, page 5l2, when the opposite
was held. From lay point OF view
the latter decision seems good
thing, as il obviates the necessity of
taking down the evidence aud not
ing exceptions, necessary to be done
under the old decision, which re-
quired writ of cert orari TO be Sc
cured before case decided by a
Justices jury could be carried up.
The opinion in 18th West Virgin.
ia was written by Judge Adam c.
Snyder, and the new opinion is by
Judge Brannon.
The question whether the jury in
criminal cases can decide the law in
the case contrary even to the in
struetions of the court, which has
been so long an undecided question
in West Virginia, the opinion pre-
vailing to considerable extent that
a jury in criminal case is judge of
both law and fact, was set at rest
by decision of the State Supreme
Court, holding that jury is the
Judge of the evidence. but not OF the
law, and must as TO the law follow
the instruction, of the court. The
opinion by Judge Brannon was con
Cured ia By the whole court.

The Coming Board Meeting
Grafton Leader.

Hon. George @. Sturgiss, president
of the Board of Regents OF the State
University at Morgantown, has called
meeting of the board at Parkersburg
spn the 18th Of this month. The rea-
son for meeting thus far away from
the institution Is that the board
thereby will be far removed from the
local pressure and influence surround
ing its members were they TO meet at
Morgantown, Besides making up the
estimates for the appropriations to
be asked Of the Legislature at the
coming session and electing success
or to Prof. Thomas G. Miller, who ha-
been elected State Superintendent of
free schools, it is strongly intimated
that the board or rather its partisan
majority, will attempt TO make
changes in the personnel Of the facul-
ty along political lines. II this be
true and the act is contaminated, no
more fatal blow could be struck the
University. We understand that
DEMOCRATIC patronage is somewhat in
the ascendency in that institution of
learning, and could not be held by
bands Of iron were a partisan course
adopted by the board, as there are
many other colleges of equal standing
Spd merit, and not so far away eth
er. These would reap the usufruct
of any radical or unwise act upon the
part OF the board. The board should
go SLOW on considering any recommen-
dation Of President Raymond toward
/ the ousting of men strong with the
Student body from the fact Of their
faculty fitness and of recognized ability
throughout the State. Some minor
factors were not considered in the re-
cent election; aud it would be the
height of folly to claim that the re-
suit OF the election in this State was
specific endorsement OF President
Raymond in his administration OF
the State University.
