In the Senate yesterday the Committee
on Foreign Relations favorsbly reported
resolution endorsing an international
treaty prohibiting the sale of alcoholic
liquors and firearms in the interior OF
Africa. The resolution and treaty will
no doubt give great comfort to philan-
thropists generally, and would be a
source of sorrow to the New England
rum and firearms trusts if the provisions
were somewhat different. But, as we do
not see any reference to the African
coast, where their commercial interests
lie, it Is not probable that there will
be any violent outcry. The trusts will
land their firewater and guns, and the
reforming petitioners will be entirely
satisfied and will ever pray"

The constitutionality OF the ordinance
of the city of Rochester, y. Y, prohibiting
the erection of bill boards exceeding six
feet in height without the permission of
the city council was recently passed upon
by the Court of Appeals of New York.
in the case of City of Rochester VS.. West

be an unreasonable and undue restraint
of a lawful business. or of the lawful
use of private property. The question
was raised on the prosecution of the
manager o. the Rochester Bill Posting
Company for violation of the ordinance.
The case was originally begun in the JUS
tice court, and subsequently passed
through the County Court, the Supreme
Court. appellate division. and finally the
Court of Appeals. in all OF which the
ordinance was upheld. The Court of APP
peaIs held that the statute authorizing
the city to pass an ordinance of this
kind was clearly valid. The purpose. the
court held, was TO allow the common coun-
ell to provide for the welfare and safety
of the community in the municipality to
which it applied; and If the defendants
authority to erect bill boards was wholly
unlimited as to height and dimensions,
they might readily become a constant End

The Court of Appeals in New York re-
Gently affirmed the judgment, in the case
Of Forbell vs. City of New York t5S n. E.
Rep. GID, granting perpetual injunc-
ton restraining the City of New York
from operating pumping stations on the
conduit line near the Kings County boun-
dairy line. and awarding past damages 10
the plantif1 for the sum of $4,000. The
plaintiff was a lessee OF certain farming
lands situated near the pumping station,
and used 4 portion of the lands for the
purpose of growing celery and water
crosses. The effect was TO lower the IN
der-g ground water table on his land and
thus make it unfit for the cultivation OF
celery or water crosses. The plaintiG does
not complain that any surface stream or
body of water upon his own land is there
by affected, but that the defendant ex-
hausts his land of it's accustomed and
natural supply of sub-slrface water. The
court held that the acts Of the defendant
complained of constituted trespass. and
that the defendant did not have the legal
right to use wells and pumps of such
power that from their base the defendant
can tap the water stored in the plaintiffs
land and in all the region thereabout and
lead it to his own land and sell Ii. The
court said that they recognized the fact
that the water supply of a great city is
of vastly more Importance than the celery
and water crosses of the plaintiff but
that the defendant could employ the right
of eminent domain and thus provide the
water without Injustice TO the plaintiff

The Women Tell Their Aces.

There is one country at least
where women do not hesitate to tell
their age. Next to the babies, the
old women have the greatest number
OF privileges in Japan. There is a
saying, "The grandmothers rule the
empire" Age is greatly rever-
enced. The first remark made after
an introduction is "And what might
be your honorable age?" And you
may be sure that if the answerer be
a japanese she will give her full age
and even be tempted to add a year
or two. When women 90 to buy a
dress in Japan, they tell the shop
keeper their age and if they are
married or not, because there are
special designs for the single and
double relations of life as well as
for the ages.

BLIND FISHES.
Eye Injuries Common Among the Ffr
ned Ocnixens Of the Deep.

Fishes" said an old fisherman,
care especially liable to injury to
the eyes. Among the fishes taken
In nets there are always likely 70 be
found some that had suffered some
injury to the eve, and the number in
some cases would be large.
"The reason for this is very sim
pie. The fishes travel in schools,
many fishes together and closely
herded. Moving thus, they are like
ly TO jostle and rub against one an
other. If they are frightened, then
the danger from this source is great
" increased.
"Take, for instance, a school OF
menhaden chased by bluefsh. In
their fright and their eagerness TO
escape they rush off wildly, crowd
ing and smashing together and
sometimes actually pushing, in their
wild rush, up out of water ON to the
beach.
"Bluefish rush off in the same
wild manner when sharks smash
into a school of them and begin bin
ing and destroying right and left.
The frightened fishes would in
such cases flee ike a herd of stam-
peded cattle on the land. The cat
tie would, some of them, be tram
pied down and killed, and some
would have legs broken, and some
would lose their horns, and so on.
The fishes would suffer injuries in
like manner, and, the eve being an
exposed and easily injured part, they
are particularly liable TO injury
there.
'Bhnd fishes. or fishes with i'm
paired sight, suffering from injury
or perhaps from disease following
injury, are caught with the rest sim
ply because they stay with them.
They do not, because of their blind
ness, get lost. All fishes are pecul-
iarly sensitive to the motion of the
water about them; they feel the i'm
pulse given by the slightest move
ment of 1t anywhere near them.
They keep within the circle of the
movement made by the school They
don't stray away; they stay with the
crowd, and if the crowd gets any
thing to eat they get at least some
of the fragments. New Y ork Sun.

In 1175 Marshall was about six
feet high, straight and rather slen-
der, of dark complexion, showing
little if any rosy red, vet good
health, the outline of the face near
" circle and within that eyes dark
to blackness, strong and penetrat-
ing. beaming with intelligence and
good nature; an upright forehead,
rather low, was terminated In a
horizontal line by a mass of raven
black hair of unusual thickness and
strength. The features of the face
were in harmony with this outline
and the temples fully developed.
The result of this combination
was interesting and very agreeable.
The body and limbs indicated agility
rather than strength, in which, how
ever, he was by no means deficient.
He wore a purple or pale blue hunt
ing shirt and trousers of the same
material fringed with white. A
round black hat, mounted with the
bucks tail for a cockade, crowned
the figure and the man. He went
through the manual exercise by
word and motion, deliberately pro-
nounced and performed in the pres
ence of the company before he re-
quired the men to initiate him, and
then proceeded to exercise them
with the most perfect temper.
Never did a man possess a temper
more happy, or if otherwise, more
subdued or better disciplined

only temporary relief. Stealing

but stating cannot beeradicated until
people are con ,luced that "a L. wrong

be- suppressed hy Law, but 1t cannot
be entirely eradicated until all are
convinced that anarchy is wrong.
Free government spriu-iue as direct
Is as possible from thc people and
made as responsive as possible 10 their
will, is the only permanent and COM
piete cure for anarchy. The arbitrary
government of the old world have
tried suppression but have not sue
ceeded. They have less-ned anarchy
Just in proportion as they extend
ed civil liberty and participation in
the government. Stern measures
must be evoked for the suppression
and punishment of every manifesto
ton of anarchistic spirit but beyond
remedy there must be- education.
All must be taught that government
is an absolute necessity and that our
form Of government is the best ever
devised. We can only bring abso-
lutte security TO our public servants
by making the government so Just
and beneficent that every citizen
will be willing to give his life if need
