CARRIES HIS CASE
To HIGHEST COURT
Chicago Manufacturer Trying to Re
cover His Plant.

Andrew D. Bishop. of Chicago. has
appealed to the Supreme Court OF the
United States for review OF the decision
of the seventh court of appeals in favor
of the American Preservers' Company.
In 1888 Mr.. Bishop sold preserving
factory in Chicago to the American Pre-
servers Company. which controls 80 per
cent of the output of preserves in the
United States. The complainant alleges
he was forced to sell his factory to the
trust under threat OF financial ruin.
Mr. Bishop was retained as manager
of the Chicago factory. but alleges that
he received no dividends on his stock.
In 1891. after rendering his stock and
giving the American Preservers' Com
pany notice, Mr.. Bishop took control, Of
his factory again.
The company regained possession of
the property by suit OF replevin. Mr.
Bishop carried the case to the court OF
appeals, which sustained the lower
court.

Another Victory for the Church.

AS usual the annual motion in favor
of the repeal OF the law against mar
rage with a deceased wife's sister has
come up again in parliament this year.
and has again been defeated, this, too.
in spite of all the influence which the
royal family has for a number of years
past brought to bear in favor OF the
movement IN fact, the King before
his accession to the throne, and his
three brothers, the Dukes OF Connaught,
Edinburgh and Albany. as well as the
Duke of Cambridge, and the present
Prince of Wales. have all cast their
votes as peers in the house of lords in
behalf OF the repeal, but in vain, the Is
tablished Church and the vast body OF
middle class English people being in ia
vor of the maintenance OF the law,
which does not prevail in Canada and
in other OF England's transporting de-
tendencies.
1t is not generally known that down
TO 1885 marriages of this kind were not
ipso facto invalid, but merely yoidable.
How the law came TO be modified was
as follows: The seventh Duke OF Beau
fort having no male issue by his first
wife, had on her death married her halt
sister, by whom ne had a son. The
duke feared that. his younger brother

law that no marriage of this kind con
tracted until then should be set aside

such marriages in future ipso facto null
and void, and the issue thereof fllegiti-

Ferdinand May Abdicate.

Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria is on
the eve of Indicating his throne in favor
OF his eldest son, the -year-old Be-
ris, Prince of Tirnovo. He has been sum
moned to do this under the threat of
assassination, and the expulsion of his
dynasty by the so-called Macedonian
committee, which is directing and or
ganfzing the disturbances in Macedonia,
which has its headquarters in Bull
garia. and which enjoys the pronounced
and undisguised sympathy, not merely
of the vast majority of the Bulgarian
people, but likewise of the Bulgarian
army, officers as well as rank and file.
DR.. Daneff, who was committed to a
policy of holding Bulgaria aloof from
any encouragement and participation,
direct or indirect, in the Macedonian
movement, has been obliged to resign
the premiership, while General Papri-
koff, who few months ago was deprived
of the post of minister of war precisely
on account of his Macedonian affilia-
tions, and of his pronounced sympathies
with the leaders of the Macedonian in
surrection against Turkish rule, has now
been appointed prime minister.

He had courage to face the grumbling

He dared to come and to go

King Edwards Indian Aides.

King Edwards six Indian aides-de-
camp, or, rather, orderly officers. have
arrived in England from Calcutta, and
have entered upon their duties in at
tendance upon the sovereign. They are
picked native officers of the Indian army,
men OF striking and picturesque appear
ance. They are not in daily attendance.
and in that respect their duties differ
from the late Queen Victoria's Indian
officials, whose employment was domes-
tic rather than military. Nor will they
form part of the Kings suite when he
is attending private dinners, the play,
or the opera. They Will, however, be in
attendance on King Edward at all re-
ceptions, both public and private, within
the royal palaces, and at all of his ap-
pearances in the streets and elsewhere
in public. at which mounted equerries
ride beside the carriage.
They VIII go with the King TO Ire
land. and may also accompany him on
his Baltic cruise when he is to visit st.
Petersburg. Their term of service will
end in August or September. and they
will then return to their regiments il
India, when their places will be taken
by fresh set of six native officers, per-
sonaIIy selected for the purpose by Lord
Curzon the governor general of India

Devery on the Warpath.

'FBig Bill' Devery IS again becoming
garrulous, and if his talk is followed by
action, as he threatens, Tammany may be
obliged TO throw him sop to keep him
quiet, although the big chief never nad
a reputation for being satisfied with a
sop. Deyery declares that he VIII run
for mayor just to obtain revenge against
Leader Murphy and his followers for
turning him down as they have done re-
peatedIy for the past year.
While Tammany talks a great deal
about it's ability TO defeat Mayor Low
and the fusionists by 100000 majority
next fall. the Tiger will have another
hard struggle with the reformers if
the allied anti-tiger forces are able to
amalgamate as they did two years ago.
If Devery does decide to be a candidate
at the polls, and he is quite likely TO
do so. he will probably poll a good many
thousand votes in Greater New York.
and the margin may be so narrow De
tween Low and the Tammany nominee
that these Devery votes will be neces-
sary to help the Tammany man win

INSURING THE EXHIBITS
At THE ST. LOUIS FAIR
Risks of 100000 Placed With Lloyds
n London.

A very interesting demand for insur-
ance upon exhibits at the st. Louis Ex-
position has arisen at LIoyds. London.
where risks aggTegatiag more than $780,
300 have been placed. Very much larger
sums will be written as the time for
shipping draws near. exhibitors SEEM
ing to be particularly anxious to secure
their protection unusually early this
year This haste is natural in view OF
The sharp advance in rates at the time
Of the Chicago Exposition in 1893. So
great was the inquiry for insurance then
that as high as 5 guineas per cent
was paid for the fire risk only between
May and October. the period of the ex-
hib:tion.
Present assurances are effected on
basis varying from 1 TO 10 guineas
per cent. according to the risks incur
red IN some cases the policies cover
the whole risk. including breakage, sea
damage, and total loss arising from any
cause from the time the goods leave ths
warehouse until they return TO their desc
tfnation after the exhibition In other
contracts only total loss IS covered
either by fire or wreckage at sea OF
both.
Every classification Of exhibit, which
includes both English and German goods.
is covered by these policies. but they
chiefly consist of those which require
great care In handling, such as glass
ware, statuary. pictures. and stuffed ami
mails. 1t is anticipated that good rates
of premium will be maintained. for ar
the Chicago Exhibition several fires oc-
Cured which in some cases resulted in
considerable loss for the underwriters
For this reason exhibitors who can
guarantee that their show goods will
be placed in permanent buildings can ef-
feet their insurance on better terms than
those who exhibit in temporary
structures.
Such risks rank among the most inter-
esting written by underwriters any
where. In some cases a variety OF Diff
ferent hazards are covered, which all
have TO be taken into account in ad-
justing the rates. In the case OF t'blan-

proposition is much complicated. Al

afforded at Lloyds under only very strin-

The Fatal Racing Mania.
AL Automobiles Suffer by Reason of
French Catastrophe.

After the slaughter of human life
attending the first days run the
French Government had no choice but
to put stop to the great Paris-Ma-
drid automobile race. Six dead and
twelve seriously injured is indeed an
appalling record to be made i'll the
name of sport. Yet it was inevitable
that with more than 500 racing ma
chimes careering along the public high
roads at express speed there should
be many accidents.
1t is precisely such manifestations
of the speed folly as this Paris-Ma-
drid contest that give automobiling its
bad name. Under legitimate condi-
tons it furnishes recreation and
health to It's devotees. 1t has, more
over, very practical side, in that it
has contributed TO the development of
new means of locomotion, which
meets the most widely differing needs
But when the mania for making rec
ords once takes possession of the au-
tomobilist any public highway is good
enough for a racecourse. For the
recklessness of the few all who ride
in horseless carriages are put under
the ban.
The French have gone further in
using their roads for races than any
other people, and hold the record, too,
IN the matter of catastrophes. 1t will
be surprising if they have not now
seen the last of these road COMPETE
tons. The rest of the world may well
profit by their experience and confne

SENTIMENT TURNING
FROM SENATOR SCOTT

Judge E. r. White viii be sent to
Washington to succeed Senator Scott. y
said James Sullivan, of Harrisonburg,
Va, who has arrived in Washington af-
ter a business trip into West Virginia.
Mr. Sullivan has twice been postmaster
at Harrisonburg aud for number OF
years has engaged in business which
regularly takes him into West Virginia
for long visits.
THE sentiment in West Virginia is
rapidly turning from Senator Scott. "
continued Mr.. Sullivan. Il think with
out doubt that Judge White will be the
next Senator. He seems to be pulling
ahead of Caldwell. The opposition TO
Scott is more than enough to defeat
him, and it looks now as though White
would be able to get it all.
