Now Miss Cunningham Is Suing
for $4,000 Damages Because
Of Defect In Stair.

The suit of Mary A. Cunningham to re-
cover $1,000 from Walter ii. Kimball was

his mother as trustees under his fathers
will.
Another defence set up Is that Mr..
Cunningham hired the tenement after
inspecting II and the approaches. On the
other hand IL Is claimed Mr.. Kimball
was notified OF the defect and after the
accident said that the Cunninghams
should have kept at him until the defect
was remedied

Northern Tobacco.

Color, burn, and texture are the three things which the grower has chiefly to consider. At present the trade calls for a very light, cinnamon-brown shade, which must be uniform, not nottled. The leaf, when rolled on a cigar and smoked, must leave a white or light gray hard ash, which does not flake off and fall into ones bosom or over his waistcoat, and it must not "coaP-I. e., have black, charred ring just behind the ash on the burning cigar. This Is sure to give bad flavor and taste. The leaf must also burn freely, and when lighted hold firm for a reasonable time. It must have soft, silvery texture. glossy surface, and the elasticity of a piece of kid, so that 1t may be drawn smoothly and closely about the cigar.
 Flavor is not wanted in Connecticut tobacco, for If there be much of 1t 1t Is sure to be bad Perfect burn, color, and texture can be gotten in the North ern climate, but delicate and agree able flavor has not yet been obtained. Flavor Is conditioned largely by cli- mate, the other qualities by soil and fertilizers. It Is desirable, therefore, that the leaf be neutral, without taste, as far as may be. We get the flavor wholly in the Cuban filler. To obtain these qualities of leaf Is the problem of the grOwer-a much more complicated one than meets the ordinary farmer.- Harper's Weekly.

Baseball in Paree.

Now that baseball has been intrOduc- ed officially in France we may expect that such scenes as the following will mark every game:
 The Umpire-I say Ze man is out-out- out! Now do you Onnerstan?
 AlphOnSe-Sare, you are no zhentle- man!
 Hehri-Par-r-don me, but you are ze canaille!
 The Umpire-AcceptZ Ze assur-r-r-ance of my most r-r-respectful consider-r-ra- tion, zhentlemen, but you ar-r-e pair of crazy monkeys!
 Alphone-Oh, did you hear zat, my poor fr-r-riend?
 Henri-Alhponse, my brozzaire. he has insolted you!
 The Umpire-Oh, go and sit on ze bench and let ze game pr-r-roceed.
 Alphonse-YOu will hear fr-r-rom me!
 Henri-You will hear fr-r-rom us!
 The Umpire-Certainly, sares. I will geeve you satisfactione whenever you weesh. Only you must put eet off at least tree weeks-I hay so many oz- zaire duels of Ze same sort zat all my time is taken up day an night. Is 1t agreed? Tray bong, messiers.
 They all bow extravagantly and AL phonse and Henri kiss each other on the cheek as they retire to the bench. The game then proceeds.-C Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Gen. De wet,s Ancestors.

The Dutch antiquarian Peter van Meuvs gives some information about the De Wet family. It appears that the most eminent predecessor of the fa- nous military leader in the South Afri- can Orange Vrystatt" was a painter of considerable note in his day. Jaco- bus wiIlems De Wet lived in Haarlem at the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 17th. The name of the artist stands first in the family registers of the old Kaapland families. A Ja- cobus De Wet. his descendant and namesake. settled on the River Lies- beck in South Africa, where he mar ried Jesina Pretorius, and died there In I'll, leaving five children.

He Had the Money.

A Western millionaire, who has made q fortune out of mines, and who is re- markable alike for his liberality and for his ignorance of his bank account, says the Chicago Inter Ocean, was asked one day to contribute to an object of char ity. The canvasser suggested that one thousand dollars would be an accepta- ble contribution.
 "That isn't enough" replied the cap- italist. II will give you five thousand if have the money in the bank. Wait until call up and inquire"
 He summoned clerk and told him to telephone to the bank to inquire if he had five thousand dollars on deposit, as he desired to contribute that sum, if possible, to a worthy object. The clerk returned, and reported that the bank advised that he had three hundred and eighty thousand dollars in the bank.
 Dear me-" cried the capitalist, "as much as that! We'll, make out that check for five thousand dollars"

Desperate efforts were required re gently to save life in Chicago endan- gered by the bad handwriting of doc tor. The pharmacist who made up a prescription interpreted the authors scratches as well as he could and sent deadly mistake into a victims stom- ach. Handwriting had sadly declined in the United States before the arrival of the machine writer. The cause was plain. Pads had entered the common schools and 1t was no longer compul- sorry to learn to write legibly, to spell correctly, or to put sentences in gram matical shape. Decline of handwriting throughout the country opened the doors widely for immigrants who in foreign schools had acquired a clear penmanship and added to that valuable talent a fundamental knowledge of arithmetic, spelling and grammar. Many of the leading merchants of this gener- ation began life as clerks able to write intelhgibly in establishments whose capitalists could not trust themselves to pen letter, fearing that the person ad- dressed would be unable to read It.. From clerk to head of house was often practical knowledge of the rudiments of business as 1t must be recorded Teaching of penmanship was formerly as regular an incident in the common schooling as instruction in history or geography. Pads had crowded pen manship down before the invention of the typewriter, which completed the rout of the pen. So great dependence is now laid In this country upon the lit tie machine, which is alert, manifolding and distinct, that the art of handwrit- ing Is almost lost among Americans, with rare exception. Public school graduates are not in demand for the best mercantile places because employ CTS cannot trust them to prepare cor rect correspondence which 1t is not pru- dent to make on the unconfdential ma chine. Foreigners still win and keep the best places of this nature, and will continue to do so until American schools revive instruction in handwrit. ing and give their students training enough in English composition to quail fly them as secretaries. Doctors can not habitually turn to the typewriter to take prescriptions; the machine is not common enough for that. Their pen manship Is proverbially bad; 1t might be improved if the reckless among them were prosecuted for evil consequences arising out of their inability or unwill. ingness to write so as to be correctly read,

A school teachers education does not count for much unless she is strong enough to use it, so in Chicago candi- dates for teachers places are very prop erly required to pass physical exami- nation. There was a fiuttering in the normal schools when the rule was adopted, a year ago, 1t being feared that 1t would bar out some of the best students, but the first result was that it stimulated them to take proper care of their health. 'They have had soup for luncheon, instead of cookies" says a well-known professional woman, "and they have not dieted, as they used to, on slate-pencils and pickles" These en. frightened graduates are expected not to collapse under the strain of their work. A pity 1t seems that they will not have authority to make their pu- pills take that same road to health which they themselves have learned to travel.

Miss srathmore did not thiuk Ii

MISS SIdlHInOre Q1Q not rnlGK n amusing at all. The row boat was near Miss Strathmore met Merida's eye.
 Hell have a scramble of it getting up," the captain opined.
 The ship was rolling heavily.
 And his Mexicans," said the captain uneasily; "by heaven, they're half drunk, too. Look at their eyes, Whether it was that or not, it was cer. tain that they could not seem to manage to keep the boat alongside long enough for Merida to catch the platform, when the ship rolled down.
 ''Take your time, Merida" the chief engineer called to him-"take youl time"
 Apparently the word suggested some thing to Merida. He put his hand to his watch p0cket-and then his face changed. There were three Mexicans iI the boat, but only two of them had rowed, the other had been sitting near him in the stern, steering occasionally with an oar. Merida said something to this one. The fellow looked too inno' cent and shook his head. Things hap pened quickly after that. Merida caught the mozo by the arm, and that began the fight. The rowers shipped their oars, and, urged by the excitement and the tequila, joined in. The boat pitched and plunged.
 They'll kill him." the captain called out, flower away boat"
 "If they've no knives" began the purser. But as he said 1t knife was thrown, and by the little Indian girl on the deck below
 The captain swore one oath. They'll do him now-sure," he said.
 Merida had his man by the throat, but he was down, and all three were atop of him. One of them jumped up and caught the knife by the handle as 1t came, dexterously. He gave 1t to the man who had Merida under him, and the other two drew back. A splendid brown arm, with its hand grasping the knife, rose high and poised above Meri- da's breast. Then 1t fell-but uselessly, limp from the shoulder-bone. There was smoke in the muzzle of the reyol- yer in Miss Strathmore's hand.
 Merida threw the wounded Mexican of, bent over him, felt in his sash, and drew out his own watch. The rowers had resumed their oars. "Now," said Merida, quietly, 'you take me along side"
 The little Indian on the spar-deck had watched 1t eagerly, hanging out far over the side. She turned now, twisting around lithely upon her back, her face upturned. Her dark eyes glowed, her lips apart. Miss Strathmore, the revol- yer still in her hand, was straight above. The Indian threw back her head, farther still. and then laughed. Her right hand went to her forehead and came away again with a sweep, in mock salute-the salute of the matador who has missed his stroke and forsakes the ring.-Argonaut.

Now that the limit has been reached in the development of the racing ma chine it is a question whether some at tempt should not be made to return to normal yacht-building. The aim of such building is to combine with req sonable comfort and safety a maxi mum of speed. Beautiful and swift as the modern racing machines are, no one would ever follow their lines either for safety or comfort. Is 1t not time for the New York Yacht Club to call a halt and seek to restore to honor the real boat-the yacht like the great forty-foot Minerva, which crossed the Atlantic in fourteen days, scored a season of straight wins and meanwhile accom- modated her owner and his guests?

All the smacks are now fitted with ice chests of liberal dimensions in place of the wells in which the fish for merly were preserved.

HaZing has nothing to commend it. Brutality is always to be deplored in every form. It is not funny. There isn't real laugh in 1t, and 1t contains uot one atom of man-making quality. develops neither body nor brain. It does not make a young man brave or manly. After every hazing episode there is generally howl from parents and friends of the hazed, and a prom ise on the part of those in authority for better things. The victims themselves seldom say much. There is a college code of ethics that forces them to sui fer in silence. Hazing can be suppress ed by expulsion. That Is remedy for all kinds of college brutality. Once it is known that no college. military or otherwise, will receive youth who is not content to keep his hands of his fellow students under penalty of in stant and peSnanent dismissal, the days of gougings, duckings, poundings and dasings will have ended.

aires seem to go on the plan t,iat what ever the value of live man, dead one is worth only what his doctor can extract by the aid of the law. The fight over the late Chris Magee's doc tor bill was famous. Now another phy- sician is in court trying to collect $5,- 243.25 from the estate of a man who was a Carnegie Steel Company partner. The doctor wants $25 for each visit, and his patient had $6,000,0O0. The physician swears that he kept the brain and body of the rich man going for one year. and that in those twelve months he added an even one million dollars to his fortune. If that is true the doc tors bill is trifing. There are good many men who would part with for tunes for a month, or even week, of life and health and business activity. To-day one New-Y Yorker will pay ST. 100000 for the restoration of his eye sight. The method doesn't matter Only let the blessed sunshine flow into the windows now closed, and the money will be ready.
