are, or at least should be. heartily
welcomed. IL is not likely that they
can accomplish much in the United
States i'm the way of securing inter
vention from the administra ton, but
their visit here cannot but bear to
them the certain satisfaction of real
izing that the American people are de-
cidedly pro-BOer. They will learn to
their satisfaction that the sympathy
of the American people is with them
and their cause. They will learn that
there are thousands of American pa
triots who would fight with them and
for them if they would be upheld in
such action by the administration.
They will also learn that the unjust
difference of the administration does
not reflect the will and the wishes of
the American people. Messrs. Nes-
sells and Wolmarens are more than

welcome to the>land of the free and
the home of the brave. While they
are here the administration viii not
help them any. but the people will
see To il that they are in no way in
jured. When these patriots observe
the conditions at Washington. ID. G.,
they must not imagine that the dis
position pertains 10 the people in
the least. The light of liberty in the
hearts of the American people is as
bright as ever if not more so, and its
brilliant fustre is made the more con
spicuous by the dark background of
imperialism at the national capital
upon which its fire is reflected.
The pro-Boer sentiment in America
is spreading. Though there is little
hope of national Intervention now
there is hope for the future. If the
Beers can hold out a little longer
they will doubtless feel the helping
hand of this republic.

SCHNABLE
SEEKS new
TRIAL
Regards the Verdict Of S750
Awarded for Loss Of Minor
Son as Inadequate.

Plaintiffs petition for a new trial in the
suit OF Samuel Schnable against the
Providence Public Market was argued be-
fore Chief Justice stiness and Justices
Tillinghast and Rogers In the appeIlate
court today.
Mr.. Schnable sued 10 recover damages
for the death of his child who was killed
by the falling Of a large meat box upon
him.
The case was tried before Judge Du-
bois and Jury on March 14th last and a
verdict given for the plaintiff for s75o.
This verdict was not satisfactory 10 the
plaintiff
new trial Is asked for on the grounds
that the damages are inadequate, that the
trial justice erred in admitting testimony
introduced by the defendant az to a diff
ferent boz from the one that caused the
accident and that the justice erred in his
charge 10 the jury in limiting the liability
10 the amount the child might earn up to
TIE age OF 2l less the expenses OF its sup
port and education during the same time.
This case raises the question as to
whether damages are too remote TO be al
lowed for the loss of the expectation a
parent might have to the support and
comfort OF a child In the parents years
of sickness or old age.
