ANOTHER GRAND REPORT FROM
HIS MAJESTY'S DOCkYARD.
AT PORTSMOUTH.
ENGLAND.

ENGLANO.
wher. Upwards of 10000 Men Are Con-
stantly Employed.
Some time ago the Portsmouth Times
and Naval Gazette published a most
thrilling and remarkable experience OF
the wife of Mr.. Frederick Payne, him
self connected with the Portsmouth
Backward for many years. The report
produced great sensation, not only In
Portsmouth, but throughout the coun-
try, being considered of sufficient inn
portance for reproduction and editorial
comment by the leading metropolitan
and Provincial Press of England, as
showing the marvellous powers which
st. Jacobs Oil possesses as a cure for
Rheumatism, its application having
effected perfect cure in the case of
Mrs. Payne, after having been a help
less cripple and given up by several
physicians.
We have now further evidence of it's
intrinsic value as a Pain Con lueror.
Our readers will do we'll to follow the
intelligent and highly interesting de-
tails as given in Mrs. Rabbits own
words:
To the Proprietors st. acobs Oil:
Gentlemen My husband, who is a
shipw right in His Majesty's Do .kyard,
met with an accident to his ankle and
leg, spraining both so badly that his
leg turned black from his knee to his
toes. The DR.. said it would be months
before he could put his foot to the
ground, and it was doubtful whether he
would ever get proper use of his leg
again.
A few DAYS after the accident 1 had
book left at the door telling about st.
Jacobs Oil, procured a bottle from our
chemist, Mr.. Arthur Creswell, $40
Commercial Road. l began to use st.
Jacobs Oil, and you may guess my sur
prise, when in about another week from
that date, my husband could not only
stand, but could even walk about, and
in three weeks from the time | first
used the Oil my husband was back at
work, and everybody talking about his
wonderful recovery. This is not al.
Seeing what st. Jacobs Oil could DO
gave me faith in your Vogeler', Cur
alive Compound, also favorabiy mem
toned in the book left at my house. I
determined to try the compound on my
little girl, who was suffering from q
dreadful skin disease, the treatment of
which has cost me large sums of money
in going from one doctor TO ano her
with her, all TO no purpose.
She has taken two bottles of Vogeler's
Curative Compound, and one would
now hardly take her for the same child,
her skin has got such a nice, healthy
color after the sallow look she has
, always had.
l shall never cease to be thankful for
the immense benefit we have derived
from these two great remdies of yours.
think it duty to recommend these
} medicines now have proved their
2 value.

The New York Court of Appeals has
recently handed down two decisions
which will be of interest to the whole
business world. The first Is connected
with a mans liability for the account
he may give of himself to business
agency. A certain New York firm, rep
resented by Clarence Birkett, had told
an agency that it's assets amounted to
more than $150,000. In consequence Of
this rating Thomas Tindle had sold
the firm several bills of goods. The
basis of Mr.. Tindles estimate Of the
firm was the information he had re-
ceived from the agency. Pretty soon
the firm failed. Mr.. Tindle lost. He
was determined, however, to see that
his deceivers did not get away alto
gether unscathed. He began suit
against them on a charge of fraud.
The defense put up was that the firm
Itself had never made misleading rep
reservations to Mr.. Tindle in person.
1t had merely made certain statements
to the agency, and the agency had told
Mr.. Tindle what it thought it knew.
If the blame lay anywhere, then, it
lay with the agency. This course Of
reasoning commended itself to the Su-
preme Court and to the Appellate
Court 1t seemed defective to the
Court of Appeals The judgment of
the lower courts were reversed Mr..
Birkett's firm was held to be guilty Of
fraud. "Disregarding mere forms and
methods it cannot be doubted that the
defendant spoke false and deceitful
words to the plaintiff through the agen-
cy just as effectually as if they had
met face to face and the statements
had been made directly and personal
~" Whether this is good law or not
it seems excellent justice. One can
not help feeling that statements made
to commercial agency are made to the
public and that when the public Is mis-
led by them it ought to have some rem
edy. The second of the two decisions
mentioned Is concerned with a certain
aspect of the relations between bank
and its customer. A New York firm
deposited with the Chemical National.
The firms credential man fell into the
habit of raising the firms checks. He
put one figure on the stub Of the check
and another on the check itself. The
difference between the two figures he
appropriated to his own use He kept
on doing this for two years During
all that time the firm never compared
the returned checks with the stubs. 1t
seems odd, therefore that when the
ultimate disclosure came the first thing
the firm tried to do was to get the bank
to reimburse it for It's losses. Naturally
the bank refused. Then came the suit.
The lower courts found for the plain
tiff. The Court of Appeals found for
the defendant. The plaintiff. 1t is held,
ought to have examined it's vouchers
and notified the bank of all discrepan-
cies. This decision seems to be as
righteous as the other. A firm cannot
ask bank to protect it against its own
employees and It's own neglect to make
sure that they were not swindling II.

Judge Sidener. of St Louis. has de-
cided that wife has the right to
search her husbands trousers at night.
The case was that of Henry Shauer
and wife. Mrs. Shauer claimed her
husband had disturbed her peace.
Shauer's defense was that on several
occasions he discovered his wife
searching his pockets after he had gone
to bed. That is no defense at all"
said Judge Sidener. "A woman has a
perfect right to rummage her hus-
bands pockets at night" 1t needed no
judge to declare this inalienable right
of wife. Viewed from any stand
quisites of wifedom. Under the COM
mon law practice, made and provided,
the wife gets the rake-off. 1t may be
remarked that insofar as newspaper
editors and some other individuals are
concerned, the decision will cut no Ice.
The trousers pockets are always de
pleted before night comes. 1t might,
however, be suggested to wives of the
rich that they make a closer study Of
a husbands habit respecting this mat
ter of carrying money. When a hus
band ostentatiously hangs his trousers
on the bed post before retiring and
snores inside of five minutes it may be
taken for granted that the pockets do
not contain over 70 cents in change.
Look in his sock If you would find the
roll. One other consideration: Is not
this decision opposed to public policy ?
Marriages are becoming more and more
unpopular. If this prerogative of a
spouse is exploited, will not marriage
able men hesitate at the prospect of
being looted?

The Department of Agriculture an
nounces a new historical novel en-
titled The Bedbug. History and Hab-
its of this Well-knoWn Insect" In
certain respects we might be induced
to hail this as the great American nov
ell, embracing as it does the country
from Maine to California, from Flori-
da to Alaska. With the habits of this
industrious insect the public is more
or less familiar but its history has
been enshrouded in mystery and will
be read with increasing interest by all
admirers of the cunning little creature.
We hope this charming book will be
advertised according to all the facili-
ties of this enterprlsing day, and we
have no doubt that the first edition
has been largely exhausted Tributes
from authors, who have gone into
small country hotels for repose and
literary environment and inspiration
will be placarded in the street cars.

ais as "A good scratch goes with every
page" and similar appreciative com
ments on Mr. Marlatt's art.

Mr. VIM. Martin, whose serious illness
we mentioned last week, died at St. Luke's
Hospital Philadelphia, on Thursday even

Vischer was to arrive early on Wednesday
afternoon to amputate the limb, but owing
to accident cases which required his imme-

He said it would be impossible to operate
here, and special train conductor Will

to Camden in a marvelously short time.
The ambulance made such quick time that
he was in the hospital and under the in
fluence of the anaesthetic by the time mem
bers of the family who went on the special,
were able to reach there by trolley. The
members of the bereaved family have the
sympathy of host of friends.
