An Artfuf Passenger.

At one of our holiday resorts during
the season a coach used to run daily be-
tween the town and some ruins few
miles out, stopping at an inn for dinner.
The landlord of the inn used to make a
tidy sum (Which he shared with the
coachman) by doing the passengers out
of their meal. A good repast was pro-
vided, but the passengers were hardly
allowed to be seated before the signal
was given to start.
One day, after the coach had departed
the landlord discovered a traveller still
enjoying a hearty meal. He grew uneasy
as he saw the eatables disappearing
under his very eyes, but far more so when
he noticed that allthe silver spoons and
forks were missing.
On the traveller describing suspicious
looking character among the passengers
a bicyclist was hastily dispatched to
bring back the coach. On its arrival out
walked the accuser, who, instead of help
ing to identify the thief, took his seat on
the coach, and, addressing the furious
landlord, coolly remarked;
Thanks for my good feed. You'll find
them spoons and forks in the coffee. pot.
Right away, driver. "-Exchange.

COURT STEhOGRApHERS.
J. Albert Chaffes Of East Providence Ap-
pointed Chief-Cumpeusatiun FIXED

j. Albert Chaffee of East Providence
has been appointed stenographer In chief
OF the Supreme court. BY a law which
went into effect yesterday the chief jus
tice after consulting as many OF the
other justices of the Supreme court as
may be convenient is authorized 70 ap-
point a stenographer In chief and such
other stenographers as may be neces-
sary.
1t has been the custom heretofore for
each justice OF the Supreme court 10
appoint his own stenographer Mr.. Chat
fee was appointed as one Of The court
stenographers first by Judge Dubois. The
important appointment OF chief steno-
grapher was carefully considered by the
Justices and the selection OF Mr.. Chanee
is high tribute TO his ability.
The stenograp pher in chief gets salary
OF $500 a year in addition to the regular
pay for such work as he may do in court.
He also has control OF the other steno-
graphers and is TO assign their work 10
them.
meeting yesterday adopted the following
rule.
Ordered. that the compensation Of
stenographic clerks be fixed as folioWs'
In the city of Providence, for steno-
graphic clerks resident in the county, s8
per day or 50 for service In either
morning or afternoon session. In tne
city of Newport the same compensation
for a resident therein In other cases AL
lowance shall be made on the same basis.
subject to the discretion Of the presiding
Judge, In consideration OF the time re-
quired in going and returning. Rule 81
is continued
The other stenographers appointed by
the court are: George +. Farnell Frank
Farnell Gertrude T. Brown. Florence c..
Greene, Florence Ward Greene, Martha
Douglas Holyoke, Max Levy (NewporO.
A good point about the new law is that
copies OF testimony taken at trials can
now be secured more quickly than for
merly.
The power given the chief stenographer
ensures a more frequent change OF
stenographers in the different courts and
no stenographer will be allowed to pile
up work ahead 10 such an extent az has
often been the case heretofore Those
appointed stenographers are 10 get their
certificates from the clerk Of the appel
late division OF the supreme court and are
TO take the oath before him.
The compensation for copies of testi-
mony is TO remain the same 10 lawyers
as heretofore.

Continued from page Four.
BODY EMBALMED.

Late this afternoon the body OF Pope
Leo was embamed and clothed in full
pontifcal robes preparatory to the obse-
quies. Through the night and early
morning many simple emblems OF grief
had been displayed, but the main thor
oughfares did not present a spectacle OF
universal mourning.
At the piazza OF st. Peters scene of
vital unrest was presented. There was
not the slightest evidence OF hustle or
confusion. although groups Of people col
lected here, and their presence was COM
pletely lost in the immensity OF the
whole.

SEEKS A
WRIT OF
MANDAMUS
PspIn Seeks Reinstatement In
the S)CIste St. Jean Baptists
Of WOOnSocket.

Briefs we're submitted to the appellate
division Of the supreme court today In
the petition OF Marjorique Pepin for a
writ OF mandamus against the Sodets St.
Jean Baptiste OF Woonsocket TO compel
his Reinstatement as a member OF that
organization.
Mr. Pepin has had good deal or hti-
CATION with the society named, he having
been expelled and having at the time
claim for sick benefits.
The society was called into court. ana
though II made a desperate fight Mr..
Pepin got Judgment for the full amount
he claimed as sick BENEFITS. This judg-
ment was obtained In May, 1907
The grounds upon which he asks that
the society reinstate him as member
are: First, because his expulsion was
irregular and not In accordance with the
charge brought against the plaintiff and
upon which ne was expelled was untrue
as determined by the judgment IN ths ac-
ton on the benefits. and. third, that there
the plaintiffs rights.
The chief points made by the defend~
ants counsel are that the petitioner was
guilty of the greatest offense possible
against the organization was TO draw or
attempt to draw benefits under the pre-
tence OF sickness suoh an act being sub
verstve of the interest of the society and
put in peril its very existence. This being
a violation Of his essential duties, the
society had the inherent right to expel
htm. Another ground on which the petit
ton is opposed Is that Pepin for three
and a ha< years or until June last, never
sought TO have the expulsion set aside
this acquiesence in the acts OF the So
ciety IL is argued should prevent the
court from granting the writ asked for.
