frou-frous Miss Austin has only been on the stage three years. tter home is in Rochester, N. T.. and she is one of three sisters. She has been very sue eessful and while she does not care particularly for the stage. she has the ambition that characterizes the Ameri- can girl.
 There is so much about the stage that I do not like" said Miss Austin; so many things that the outside world does not know. But it is like all professions. and if one goes on the stage, one should be ambitious to do ones best.
 sI am on the stage because 1t is all that I can do," confessed Miss Austin. as if there are not hundreds of girls who would give worlds to be in her place.
 But she was very honest and frank about it all, and there was the sweetest sincerity about her. The average girl of Miss Austin'e age would declare that the stage was everything that is imagined about 1t; that all the glamor was there and that life was one long. sweet dream. But Miss Austin. looking at it from viewpoint of three years experience. was honest enough to say that the hard work it entailed and the privations that are undergone rob the stage of much of it's glamor.
 Miss Austin is one of the most talked of young women on the stage on ac- count of the prominence caused by her being the pink pajama girl in the Liberty Belles company, a distinction which she did not discuss.
 It Is distinction enough to be as grace fu1 and charming as Miss Austin.

BOON" COMPANY LOSES.
Court At Warrenton Decides An
Interesting Point.

A dispatch from Wsrrenton to the
Bsltimorr Sun says:
An interesting case involving q
mans ability TO testify as to bis own
age was decided at yarreuton on
Thursday, and by the decision the
Berryville Land aud Improvement
Company,one of the many boom CON-
panies which sprsng up all over vir-
ginis few years ago and ruined
thousands of people of the State, met
defeat.
The case was that Of Gold, receiver,
against K. b. Moore, ard the purpose
OF the suit was to compel Mr.. Moore
to pay the assessments remaining un-
paid on shares of stock in the Berry
vile Land and improvement Com.
psny.
The issue narrowed down to a plea
of the Statute of Limitation and in
fancy. The question was raised as
to whether witness should be al
lowed to testify as to his own age.
Mr.. Marshall Mccormick, for the
receiver, contended that statements
made by witness as to his own age
wss heresay and inadmissible. This
question was The hinge upon which
the case turned.
Mr.. +. B. Moore, the defendant.
was the only witness as to his own
age, aud it was conceded that If his
testimony was admitted it would es
tahlish the plea Of infancy. If
Moore was an infant the receiver
would he called upon to produce
4 written proof of ratification of any
contract with the receiver ter
VI bore had reached his majority. ac-
cording to the requirements of the
Statute of Frauds
After argument bN Mr. Mccormick,
assisted by f. S. Turner. for Mr.Gold,
the receiver, and Mr. Wh;tiug,of tho
Berry,llle bal, for Mr. Moore. assisted
by James p. Jeffreys and Colonel
Gaines, the Court ruled that Ma.
Moore's testimony as to his own os~
should be admitted on the ground
that it was information acquired amt.
Item motam, and WAS matter az
common report among his associates.
There was no testimony TO rebut
that of Mr.. Moore and the plea of IN
fancy prevailed.
Instructions from the bench plain
" put the def, ndsnt within the pro.
lection of the Statute of Limitations.
Mr.. Moore is one of the very few
men who has won against a "boom"
company, but his victory was the re-
suit of special pleas. The court did
MT pass on any Fundamental princi-
Piles except in the incidental ruling
that the obligation of the assignee Of
stock on which there were Install
mruts 10 be paid must he IN writing,
# any of the insialIments were to be
paid after the evp'rst on Of wear.

Mr. Marshall McCormick, Of coun-
sci for the plainuff. when seen hy a
representative of this paper, author
lied the following statements
at will be of interest to our peo-
pie to know, briefly, the particulars
of the case of Thomas ID. Gold, re-
ceiver, VS.. +. B. Moore, recently tried
at Warrenton before Judge c. f.
Nicol.
"The suit was against the defend
ant as assignee of three blocks of
sixteen shares of stock in the Berry
Vile Land and improvement Com
pany, originally taken by f. n. Cas-
tleman. II. ID. Reynolds, and Hans
brough 4 Carter. The defense was
infancy, statute of Limitations, lot
terry, misrepresentation in the pros
pectus, and in certain publication;
of the Clarke Courier about the
time of the organization of the com
pany. Before the jury was sworn al
the pleas were stricken out by tn,
court, except the general issue
infancy, statute of limitations. and
lottery. When the trial was reached
before the jury, all evidence of LOTTERY
was rejected by the conrt, SC tina
the case was narrowed to the tw,
questions of infancy and statute o.
limitations. The latter plea lost it,
availability because the defendan
was shown TO have moved his resi-
dence from Virginia to Washington
The evidence sustained the plea o
Infancy, and hence the verdict of tn
jury for the defendant.
San interesting question as to hOv
infancy could be proved arose. Tn
counsel for the plaintiff contende,
that the best evidence was the famil
record, if kept by member of tn
family, or the sworn statement of til
father or mother of the infant if liv
ing, or if dead aud the family recor,
lost, then the declarations of tn
father and mother made when aliv
could be admitted. The court rule
that the infant was competent /

happened to drop into our store a week or so ago and purchased pound of our new coffee, the Golden Blend. She informed us her papa couldn't se- cure any good coffee since he came to Waterbury no matter what price he paid; but on account of reading our adv in the newspapers she decided she must try q pound of our 25c "Golden Blend;;" she also reminded us she. ex- pected it would be cheap trash just like all the other fellows sell and when she was informed that we really thought we sold the best Coffee and Tea in the city (and we dol her ex- clamation was, "Oh, fudge; you make me tired; the coffee doesn't grow for Phe1ans tea store'' Well, she was right there; but there are all kinds of Coffee grown and we claim to know enough about our business to know which grade of Coffee is the best.
