FALSE TEETH IN LAW,

A New York magistrate has set up
an important precedent in jaw. To make
the matter plain it is necessary to brief
ly state the case in which the ruling was
made. A woman boarder in an uptown
boarding house became indebted to the
landlady, and without discharging the OBJ
legation left the establishment. BY some
means not clearly set out In the papers
the landlady secured possession of the ex-
boardep and debtors set of false teeth.
declaring that she would hold them until
her board bill had been satisfied. Where
upon the woman to whom the false teeth
belonged brought suit for the recovery of
them. The magistrate before whom the
case was brought, heard evidence and
arguments on each side, and after mature
elaboration, decided that the landlady
must return the teeth TO their owner, as
they We're not liable to seizure for the
owners debts. The decision does not
say 80 in as many words, but the logical
inference is that the learned court reach
ed the conclusion that the teeth were
neither luxuries nor personal property,
nor yet real estate, but as matter of
fact were a part and a necessary, If ar
tifcial part. of the corpus OF the plaintiff.
In other words, teeth is teeth" wheth-
er they grow in the mouth or are artid-
cially placed there, and being teeth they
are exempt from all processes of Law
which would sever and ALLEVIATE them from
the wearers And it is well TO have that
point of iaw backed by judicial decis-
ion, otherwise no built-up body would
ever be perfectly safe from the bill COL
lector and the process server. The land
lord or the groceryman having an unpaid
bill might secure judgment and come some
morning with a dentist and yank the
gold filling out Of the debtors teeth, or
take the plate with fun set of grinders.
to pay for the rent or the provisions.
Carrying the principle further-and II
teeth were seizable for debt. there are 10
reasons why other artificial parts OF the
body should be eXempt-no man or woman
who walks on one or more wooden legs
could appear on the streets with safety.
while there was an unpaid bill against
him or her. Glass eyes, too would come
in the same category; and so would cork
arms and artificial hands, and likewise
the silver plates which some persons wear
IN their skulls IN the place of bone re-
moved. Think Of the appearance that
would be presented by the man with
false teeth a glass eye ana wooden leg

A good story was told by James NJ.

general, at the dinner of the Pennsylvania
Society in New York Mr.. Beck attempt
ed to refute the theory that the people
of Pennsylvania are slow by saying that

the place had been filled half an hour

piled again, saying:

Minister Conger has presented to the
state OF Iowa two cannon captured by
United states forces from the Chinese.
There is some question as to where Min
lister Conger got the authority to remove
those cannon from China and to make
them a present to Iowa, or any other
state or individual We are not at war
with China. Were the pieces of ordnance
a part of the loot, and did they fall to
the Minister'S share? Had they fallen
into the hands of the United States army
in the course of hostilities they would
have become the property OF the govern
ment and not Minister Conger OF course
the Minister may have bought them, but
nothing to indicate any such thing has
yet appeared.

wilheImina Puzzles the Professor.

The German papers are telling the
story of one of the jokes in which the
Queen of Holland delights, says the New
York Sun. One Christmas day she, as
usual received the professors of the Dutch
universities. When one learned man
greeted her she met him with an air of
childish relief and confidence.
"Oh, my dear Mynheer, l am so glad
that yau have come" she said. II have
wanted you. Here is a letter of thanks
from a little King. We conferred the
Order of the Lion upon him because he
was so good to our Dutch subjects. Now
We want you, who are so famous lin
guist to pronounce for us the name of
our friend.
The fattered professor took the paper,
looked at it, stammered and blushed I'M
til the kind-hearted little Queen relented.
Never mind about it now" she said,
take it home and study it."

The Great and Small of 1t.

During Bernhardts recent engagement
in this city. says the New York Teie-
gramme, she had great difficulty in find
ing children who spoke French and at the
same time had the peculiar Intelligence
that fitted them to take the child parts
in her productions. She began by adver-
Using and got French-speaking children
and TO spare-fne children, too, but hope
less for her purpose.
Almost in despair she went to certain
school OF languages and asked if they
did not know in all New York OF one
Participating child-a child of intelh-
gence, temperament.
They did, and told her of a certain
small miss the daughter of a French Wo-
man. a teacher of the language in a
fashionable school. They had some
doubts, though, whether the mother
would care to have her daughter appear
before the footlights even in such exait-
ed company. Naturally, Bernhard had
small regard for such scruples, and
promptly wrote the mother, requesting
an interview.
When the letter was received the small
girl was informed of it's contents and ask
ed how she would like TO appear with the
divine Sarah.
Nine. Bernhardt," unused the child,
who is this Nine. Bernhard? l don
know her"
She was told and later, when taken to
the hotel where madam was staying,
waited, solemn-eyed, while the latter rat
tied on explaining her difficulties and her
desires.
Then. smiling graciously upon the wo-
man the world has long delighted to hon
or, this small expatriated daughter of
France said gravely:
But, madam, you are tragedienne-I-
I am Coincidence"
1t is needless to say Bernhard caught
that small child up and never let her
leave her during her stay in the city.

Why Lincoln wouldn't Take n Case

Gen. John H. Littefleld, who studied
law with Abraham Lincoln, writes his
recollections of his great mentor in Sue
cess. He tells this attractive bit Of anec-
dote:
All clients knew that, with "Old Abe
as their lawyer, they would win their
case-if it was fair; if not. that it was
waste of time to take it to him. After
listening some time one day to a would
be clients statement, with his eyes on
the ceiling, he swung suddenly round in
his chair and exclaimed:
We'll, you have a pretty good case in
technical law, but a pretty bad one in
equity and justice. You'll have to get
some other fellow to win this case for
you. 1 couldn't do it. All the time while
standing talking to that jury, I'd be
thinking, Lincoln, you're a liar, and l
believe 1 should forget myself and say it
out loud"

BY voting to adjourn on March g. in
stead of March l, as first proposed, the
Delaware House hopes to balk the ap-
pointment of Addicks as United States
Senator, in the event that the Legislature
should fail to elect. There are two sem
atorships to be filed by the Delaware
Legislature, and should the deadlock con-
tinue until the end of the session, no cleo
ton being made, the novel spectacle would
be presented of state entirely without
representation in the Senate. Addicks,
meanwhile, is playing his old dog-in- the
manger game. If he cannot get the SEN
atorship he does not propose that any
body shall have 1t.

chance throughout the kingdom, under
penalty of fine and imprisonment Should

stockholders in the great gambling casino
