Portia's Ruling Upset.

4 Chicago judge has declared that the iudEment asked for fair Portals restrict ing Shylock to his pound of flesh and finally leading to the confiscation of the cstatesof the Hebrew. is not sanctioned by the law of this or any other country. He completely overturns the decree of the learned Portia. A Chicago telegram to The Philadelphia Inquirer says:
 t.The< justness of the decree of the learned Portia is overturned by Judge Waterman in deciding the appeal of John M. Ewen from a judgment of the Circuit Court holding him .liable for the amount df . note on which iie was guarantor.
 'The Chicago jurist, in voicing the ruling of the branch Appellate Court. comments on the Shylock decision. be- cause the principle of liability referred to by Shakespeare in the Merchant of Venice is raised by the appellant in his Brief. the point being that the liability of guarantor cannot be extended by Implication or construction.
 After discussing the facts which ap- peared at the trial fin the lower court. Judge Waterman comments on the argu- ment of the appellant concerning Shake spearean justice as follows:
 ]" While it is true that the obligation of the guarantor cannot be extended by implication or construction, and is limit ed strictly to the contract he has made, we do not understand that the rule is. as appellant declares, what Shakespeare had in mind when he wrote The Merchant of Venice The judgment of Portia did anything but make waste paper of Shy locks bond. On the contrary. it diverted it into an instrumena by which the hap less Jew was robbed of all he had; nor have we understood that Portia's judg- saent was or is law in this or any other country"'

Paris Women's suffragists.

A Paris special to The Times-Democrat says:
 "The woman's Suffrage Society. which has evidently not been terrorized by any time-honored conventions. continues to launch proclamations and ediets Its last, up to one this week, was the famous declaration against the invidious distinc- ticn made between married and unmar- rfed women in calling the former ma dame and the latter mademoiselle. At that time the society demanded that all women should have the honorable title of madame.
 The society has now issued an edict on an even more important question. This declares that a woman commits a wrong agaiust herself in submitting to change her name in favor of her husband. Mme. Anciert, the leader of this reforming fe- male organization. says marriage places on the neck of tho wife the collar of servitude. effacing forever her own name. Therefore. the madame argued that wo- men on marrying ought to retain their own name, as they often do in the world of letters or on the stage. as. for instance. Rosa Bonheur and George Sand and others. She suggested that a child might combine the name of its parents, but when 1t was pointed out that the of- springs of the second generation would have four names while of the third the name would cover visiting card. the madame acknowledged the difficulty and said the child must take one name, the mothers, because there can be no dqbi. tation.'

Seven Dangerous Days.

An ancient soothsayer said to the imperial Caesar, Beware the ides Of March But if tho theory of Dr. Granville Macleod of South Chicago. is correct the modern adviser can say. Be ware the goth to the 18th of every month" pr. Macleod's assertion seems to be verified by statistics taken from the records of railroad companies, iron works, grain elevators, boiler works, hospitals and many establishments em- pfoyfng large forces of men, as well as the books of the coroner's office. Refer ence to the records of the Cook County hospital for each month for the past five years shows an. average of ninety five cases Of injuries by accident a month. Out of this total eixty-ftve oe- cured during the "fataf' period.
 The coroner's cffice shows more startling confirmation of the doctors theory About sixty-hve per cent. or nearly two-thirds, of the deaths by acci- dents and other causes requiring official investigation occur between the 2oth and fha 18th of each month. Of the days of the week occurring in this "fatal' period Saturdays and Mondays appear to come particularly under the malign influence. This may be partially explained from the fact that a great many of the laboring class are paid on Saturday. and many accidents result from intemperance. As an old newspaper man said: Saturday means pay day, pay day means booze. booze means trouble and trouble means news"
 Professor R. A. Mcqueen of Kansas City, but for many years resident of india, and a close student of the Brah- milan religion, theosophy and occult sciences, says that the priests in the Brahmian temples have had the theory for years that at this particular period of the month the serpent made his ap- pearance in the Garden of Eden and tempted Eve with the result that man fell from the favor of God. and ever since then this particular time has been regarded as especially unlucky.-Newark News

Perhaps the poor little mite of worker -Corea Talley--who lost two fingers ot her right hand while working in the spinning-room at the Merrimac Mills at Huntsville. will be through her suffer. ing the cause of good to her kind.

BRA|NERD HAS
: Fifteen UNIONS.

Brainerd is the best organized city
in Minnesota. Almost every working
man is a member of a trade union.
Even the helpers in the shop have q
powerful organization that is given
much attention. The machinists. car
workers, boilermakers, timers, mold
ers and blacksmiths all have large un-
ions. The carpenters about the shops
are in good shape and this city has be-
come a very hot bed Of unionism.
The organizer at this point is John
P. Dahin, a member Of the cigarmak-
ers' union of st. Cloud. I1e is a jur-
isdiction member, Cor there are not a
sufficient number Of cigarmakers in
Brainerd to have a union thee Mr.
Dahin writes that he has several I'M
ions under way. The teamsters are
organizing, and the mill workers are
planning OH getting into line.
The machinists helpers are arrans-
ing for their annual ball, which will
be held next month.
There is a strong demand here for
union label goods. The merchants car
ry large stocks Stores close early:
and the clerks are splendidly organized.
