concerning a profession which he has himself
formerly followed with satisfaction
We start with the assumption that the young
men of America have the prerogative of choice
in the career to which they will devote them
selves Other times, other customs. In the old
country, England. it has long been the custom
for the 10 follow in the footsteps of their
fathers; this was especially the rule with the
eldest son, when the younger were per-
mitted wider range. In this way certain
family names have been handed down genera
ton after generation in connection with par
ticuIar profession. and the eldest son no more
thought of declining to become doctor. lawyer
or engineer like his father. than those OF noble
birth declined the privileges of primogeniture
Bat in the United States the needs of new
country and the opening up of resources hither-
to undeveloped made a claim for the services
OF the best men. regardless of family tradition:
il became an uuwritten understanding that in
the broad arena of II yoIng nations expanding
activities there was work for every man with
powers sufficiently flexible TO adapt himself TO
New-York tribune., 1903-05-03

The fact that an American mining engineer
has been able within the last few weeks to
close contract with financial house by the
terms OF which he receives a salary of S1O0OD
per annum for term OF ten years by itself sug
gests forciby enough that mining engineering
can under certain circumstances become &
highly remunerative profession. In period
when deal in round figures. when technical
skill commands royal fee and the success of
the undertakings directed by engineers becomes
translated into sums of money so large as not
long ago to have been almost without meaning
to the average man. it is obvious that the money
element assumes fascination 10 the youth of
the country which is apt TO be destructive of the
ideals OF a profession older than most Of the
occupations which command the honorable
gard of modern men.
AS career for young men that Of the mining
engineer has much to commend 1t. A judge

NO LEGAL APPEAL BY TELEPHONE.

A curious legal point has just been settled by
The cantonal tribunal OF Soleure. Geneva. A local
tradesman lost his in a lawsuit. and being
informed Of the result he elephoned that he wished
to lodge appeal.
This very modern manner Of proceeding was not
agreeable TO the legal authorities who told the
tradesman to appeal in person. but this he refused
do. The question whether legal proceedings may
be instituted by telephone not was threshed out
the other day.
Although the law simply states' said the judge,
that the court must be informed Of the appeal or
any other action these cannot be received by tele-
phone, and must be made by the person himself
TO the court in written form."-CLondon Mail

Tennessee, he declares, the marriage was illegal and will be declared null and void if the allegation is proved. In support of this claim J. F. Kenton, we'll known planter of Tipton county, has sworn that Eliza Massey is the daughter of Dr. Williams, now dead, who lived at Corona, and Charity Will Hams, negress. Sam Williams, ne- gro living near Corona, has sworn that Mrs. Messey is his sister. Jake Mitch- ell, & negro of Tipton county, has sworn that he knows Mrs. Massey. William Smithers, also of Corona, has made an affidavit that when he was a. clerk on the steamboat Ora Lee, some few years ago, he elected Mrs. Massey from a cabin in his boat because he knew that she was negress and not a white wo- man. "She was as white as any Cau- casian," he said, but her hair was kinky." Captain o. K. Joplin and c. A. Stockley, both of Tipton county, have verified these statements.
 Mrs. Massey is said to be remarka- bly, handsome woman and has per- fectly white complexion. Her hair is described as Wavy. Her son, by E. W. Massey, is eighteen years old. He is also said to be pure Caucasian in ap- pearance. He has always regarded himself as white and associated with white boys. From the wording of Mrs Massey's petition those locally interest ed in the matter are of the opinion that she was actually married to Massey about twenty years ago and that she lived with him until his death.
 The hearing will undoubtedly create a sensation throughout the south. Massey was wealthy landholder and was well connected in Tennessee. The case is the only one of it's kind ever tried in an American court, according to the belief of local lawyers, and the constitutionality of the statute forbid ding intermarriage of the races may be carried to the supreme court.-Mem- phis Special.

BLACK OR WHITE?

Suit of a White Mans Widow Opposed on the Ground That She is a Ne
 gress.
 Declaring that Eliza Massey, of Coro- ma, Tenn, is a negress, Attorney Ewing has instituted the most remarkable counter charge to suit ever filed in an American court.
 Eliza Massey, in her suit against the H. c. Williamson Land Investment Company, of this city, alleges that the late William Massey, of Corona, Tenn, was her husband, and seeks to recover property transferred to the Williamson company, which was conveyed without her joint signature. The sole defense put forward by the attorney for the Williamson company is that the peti- tioner is not of pure white blood, and that the alleged marriage was therefore null and void. It is understood that Eliza Massey, through her attorneys, will fight the charge bitterly, and that revelations of most sensational char aeter will be made in the litigation. The legal aspect of the case is as fol- lows:
 ! On the 18th day of last September, Mrs. E. w. Massey, presumably and generally considered white woman, drew up a petition in the law office of Smith & Smith, of Covington, Tenn., setting forth that before the death of her alleged husband, E. W. Massey, on April 3, 1901, the latter sold and trans .ferred to Armistead Brothers, of Mem ,phis, a large tract of land in Tipton county, Tenn. The conveyance, she al- leges, was made without her signature. Later Armistead Brothers sold the property to the H. c. Williamson Land Improvement Company. Now, this pe- tition sets forth that under the home stead laws of Tennessee the first trans fer was illegal, owing to the absence of her signed consent, and she seeks to re- cover the property on behalf of her eighteen-year-old boy, James D. Mas ;sey, and herself. Caruthers Ewing the attorney for the Williamson company, investigated the matter thoroughly, and in behalf of his client sent the answer to the suit to Chancellor John s. Coop CT.
 The sole defense in this answer is that Mrs. Messey is not white woman, but is a negress. According to the law of

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP
Cured by One Bottle of chamberIaIn's
 Cough Remedy.

When had an attack of the grip last winter (the second one) I actually cured myself with one bottle of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
 ". Perry. editor of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N. Y. This is the honest truth. I at times kept from coughing myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon full of this remedy, and when the cough ing spell would come on at night I would take dose and it seemed that in the briefest interval the cough would pass off and I would go to sleep per- fectly free from cough and it's accom- panying pains. To say that the remedy acted as a most agreeable surprise is putting it very mildly. I had no idea that it would or could knock out the grip, simply because had never tried it for such purpose, but 1t did, and it seemed with the second attack of coughing the remedy caused it to not only be of less duration, but the pains were far less severe, and I had not used the contents of one bottle before Mir. Grip had bid me adieu." For sale by all druggists.

 The answer of Mir Pierce is in part as Follows:
 And the defendant further answer ing says that if the plaintiff shall intro- duce any evidence tending to show that the defendant ever made any promise to marry the plaintiff as alleged in the plaintiffs declaration, then said promise was made while the defendant was mentally incapable of making the same and while he was incapable of giving assent in the celebration of the mar riage ceremony, and the defendant still is, and ever will be, incapable of giving any such assent"

POST MASTER GENERAL
TALKS OF TODD CASE
Explains His Removal of Green
wood, Del, PostmistresS.

Postmaster General Payne does not
seem TO he disturbed over the commo-
tion which has been caused by his sum-
mary removal OF Huldah B. Todd. post
mistress at Greenwood, Sussex county,
Del, because she was personally OBJ
jectiOnable' TO Senator Alice. of that
State.
Mr.. Payne discussed the incident this
morning for the first time, and gave his
reasons for the removal. He said that
after the State had finally elected two
Senators. the Senators got together and
agreed to divide the patronage and that
Postmaster General.
Senator Alice took the patronage In
Kent and Sussex counties and Senator
Ball took that in Newcastle county.
This arrangement appeared to work sat
isfactorily and Mr.. Payne said that
when the name of a successor to Miss
Todd was presented to him by Senator
Alice he gave his approval as a matter
Of course, and did not pay particular
attention to the matter, as II was in line
with the agreement made by Senator
Ball with the Postmaster General and
Senator Alice
The successor to Miss Todd has al
ready received his appointment from the
President, and the incident is closed as
far as the department IS concerned.
