a Nov.a case.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Nov. 6. Justice VIM.
p. Whitehouse presided in the Supreme
Court here today and reserved his de-
cisiOn in an unique and novel case, in
which the plaintiff was Philip S. Ladd
of Winthrop. The defendants were the
Augusta Savings Bank of this city and
the AndrOscOggin Savings Bank of Lew
iston.
The testimony of the plaintiff was to
the effect that on June 10, 1897, he had
on deposit at the Augusta Savings Bank
$2,097.17; that the money was with
drawn at different times without his
knowledge, as follows: June 10, 1897,
$3.50; Sept. 6, 1898, 1920; Aug. %, 1901,
$227.17. This money was deposited in
1895, and he never had occasion to look
at his bank books until this summer.
When lie went to the trunk in which
the books had been secreted, they had
disappeared, although the envelopes in
which they had been placed remained.
He brought this suit to recover the
amount deposited on the ground that
somebody had impersonated him and
obtained possession of the funds by
means of forged orders. He claimed
that 81, 500 which he had on deposit in
the Androscoggin Savings Bank. Lew
iston, disappeared in similar manner.
The contention of the defence is that
the money was given on orders accord
ing to the general rule and method of
procedure in banking institutions.
Justice Whitehouse reserved his de-
cision.

Mrs. Martha Baker Dunn of Water

Mrs. Martha Baker Dunn of Water
vile has written and L. c. Page & Co.,
Boston, have published new book
entitled "Lias's Wife" The Boston
Journal says of it: Imagination is hard
y equal to the difficulty Of conceiving
feet charity for its shrewd but unsophis-
ticated personages, but, were it thus
transformed, and employed as the back
ground for the honest struggle of two
suffering souls, the result would be
something like Mrs. Martha Baker
Dunn's "Lias's Wife" The fishermen
and sailors and toiling housewives of
her Maine island are closely akin to
those of the elder novel, but they are
never absurd, and they bear their part
in the comedy of life with dignity as
perfect as any courtier's. "a gem" is
the truthful definition of this story.

Health in the United States.

Census S tatistics seem to show that
between 1890 and 1900 hygienists and
SAM tarians succeeded in frightening
the lives Of Am erican citizens to very
appreciate extern t. Such is the belief
of the Medical Record, which calls at
tention to decrease in the proportion
OF deaths to population by nearly 10
per cent. The average age of an Amer
can at death is now 1872 years, as
against 81 in 1890. But the improve
ment is confined, says the Record, to
the cities, where the new ideas obtain
recognition, while the country districts
exhibit no such relative improvement
A decided proof of the efficacy of
modern sanitation is found in the reduc-
ton of the death rate from consumption
from PAS persons per 10000 in 1890 to 100
in 1900. This shows progress and in
spires hope of further improvement
Diphtheria, cholera infantum, bronchi-
tbs, diarrhGa and typhoid fever also ex-
hibit diminished deStructiveneSS. Pneu-
monia, on the other hand, attains great
er prominence. Owing to the ravageS
of influenza it caused 1919 deaths in
each 10000 deaths in 1900, as compared
with 1869 in 1890. The deaths due di-
rectly to influenza increased from So
per 10000 in 1890 to %. per 10000 in
1904 striking growth. Cancer, kid
ney trouble, heart affection and apo
plexy have likewise considerably in
creased.
1.-The activity of scientific men engag-
ed in the investigation of the origin
and cause of cancer" says the Record,
gives rise to the hope that some OF its
unknown features may soon be definite
ly solved, and that as consequence its
treatment may be conducted upon
more intelligent preventive and cura-
tive principles. baltimore Sun.

In BRIEF. The annual report of
General Gillespie, chief engineer Of the
War Department, shows that twenty
five principal harbors of the United
States do not have sufficient number of
heavy guns and mortars mounted at
their entrances to permit an effective
defense against naval attack. Pro-
vision has already been made for the
emplacing of 1926 heavy guns, 1927 rapid
fire guns and 376 mortars, and Gen. Gill
lespie asks for an appropriation of $4,-
100000 for new mortar and gun bat
teries. The London Lancet of Oct. 31st

will claim that the people as whole the masses-have gained ground dur ing the century. "The old Democratic ideal" says the Springfield Republi- can, "of pure freedom for the individ- ual, both in politics and trade, is seen, at the end of the century, to be disap- pointing in it's results. Instead of genuine competition we get the Stand ard Oil Company; instead of Jefferson ian equality we get growing class cleavage and a multi-millionaire plu- tocraey, with it's matrimonial alliances instead of a triumpnant philosophy of Democratic individuaIism we get Ger man socialism,"
 Nor has the promise that war would be abolished by commercialism and higher education been fulfilled. It now appears that trade demands and makes wars, and the last half of the century was one of constant armed struggles. The Hague conference has proven delusion, and the new century will be as full of wars as the old one was.
 There were other disappointments in the century. The ballot did not lift up the ex-slaves and universal education has not wrought all the changes ex- pected of it. The position of the churches has not been strengthened.
 The ideals of the old century did not come into fact and action, and all of them come over to the new century, which may prove kinder to them.

Yesterdays Primary Election

Yesterdays primary election was full and fair. The vote was large and there are no claims of corruption. Good men were selected and some good men went down in defeat But no one can make serious complaint.
 Mayor Drennen and Chief of Police Austin are reelected, and both have gained experience and learned some thing of the views of the people during the primary contest. They should and doubtless will profit by it in the con tinuation of their duties.
 The old members reelected to the Board of Aldermen and the new ones selected are wise and strong business men, and the city should profit from yesterdays primary. There will be no independent ticket anu consequently no contest in the general election.

Men of the Century.

It is plain that the old century wiN be often recalled because of the mfn it gave to the world. It was a war cfn- tury, full of pillage, murder and (de- struction from first to last, and at least the name of Napoleon will be rec3lled. And so will the name of Nelson, even when the names of Wellington, von Moltke, Grant, Lee and Stonewan Jack son are lost
 Of statesmen the century gave us Bismarck, who put together Germany; CaYour, who joined the Italian frag- ments; Abraham Lincoln, ajpoor white man of Kentucky, who Became the greatest of American { Presidents; Thiers, who gave shapefto the third French Republic, and qladstone, who struck off some of the lclass shaclkles of England.
 In art the century WAS fruitful, for it gave to the world Thorwalsden, Mes- sonier and Fortuny. Tn music two inn mortal names stand out those On beeth- oven and Wagner the equals of whom the world had never known. It was ;n fact musical century.
 -fr9dc literature did not by any means suffer. Hcine and Goethe and Hegel and Emerson and Victor Hugo and Walter Scott and George Eliot and Tennyson and Carlyle and Coleridge and Lord Byron and-but the list is too long already. Music and literature from it's beginning down to the last quarter of it, when both began to rest on laurels already won.
 Science and investigation went on actively, particularly in the last half of the century, and much of the work done will be of long continuance and far-reaching in its consequences. Darwin explained the theory of evol,l- tion and natural selection, Pasteur brought out the germ theory and Hur- ley and Faraday and host of other workers went deep into the secrets of nature.
 Africa was explored by David I iE- ingston and the whole world was open cd up by other explorers, the North Pole alone excepted. Railroads were laid through Siberia, across the Ameri can continent, and one was started in the heart of Africa. The creation of the century, the telegraph, was placed in every land and under every sea. It was a century of many achievements and in some countries these achieve ments led to increased happiness and contentment.

Jackson, Miss, December 31.-Chief Jus- tice Whitfield and Assistant Justice Cal houn of the Supreme Court have refused to grant to the citizens of Biloxi an in- junction restraining the old City Council. which retired this week, from electing the subordinate city officers for the ensuing two years term. From this refusal it will be possible for the retiring councils of about two hundred cities and towns to elect the officers for the next two years. not withstandng the fact that the new coun- cils will go into office on next Monday, and if the elections are held the council-elect will thus be cut off from distributing the patronage. The question came up on a con- flict of three sections of the code chapter on municipalities.

New Money and Old.

 "One of the banks, and probably others, secured a large number of crisp, new, un- used bills of the denominations of one two, five and ten dollars with the object of pay ing them out to customers for Christmas money, very pleasing innovation for which the bank deserves very many thanks The result of this is a large sum of perfectly new money in circulation, and new money is novel in Birmingham, as 1t is in all cities that are long distances from New York and Washington. In those cities one never sees such dirty and worn out money as that in universal use in this sec tion of the country. Most of our money is disgustingly filthy from long usage

HORSON,S CASE.

From the Savannah News.
 The illness of Lieutenant Hobson has brought to the public mind forcibly the fact that no suitable recognition has ever been made by the Navy Department of his brave and dashing feat in sinking the Merrimac in Santiago harbor. True, the Merrimac did not sink where it was intended. Subsequent events showed that the whole scheme was a mistake on the part of Admiral Samp- son. But Lieutenant Hobson did his part with heroism and he first of all should re- ceive handsome promotion. This gallant young officer applied for transfer from the department of construction to the line This was refused. Then he asked for promotion in his own department. But this brought up the miserable controversy in which the friends of Sampson tried to outwit the friends of Schley, and Lieutenant Hobson's case went down in this wretched squab- ble.
 Lieutenant Hobson is just recovering at the Presbyterian Hospital in New York from a severe attack of typhoid fever. After his brilliant services with the Atlantic squadron he was sent to Manila, to su- pervise the raising of Montejo's fleet. After a protracted stay in the tropical harbor he returned to America very much enfeebled and with the germs of typhoid in his sys- tenn. His illness has been long and try ing one Public attention has again been called to his case and 1t is to be hoped that Admiral Sampson will have the generosity to insist upon the advancement of his sub i, ordinate officer without resting his own case upon one whose promotion has been so splendidly earned. Hobson should be made either commander or chief of the bureau of construction.
