voice
He continued his contention as TO the
meaning OF the term coast" as employed

Woonsockst Machine Co. Does
Not Want to Pay tho $4,000
Awarded TnuS. F. MCMlChael

Chief Justice Stiness and Justice Till
inghast and Douglas heard the petition OF
the Woonsocket Machine and Press COM
pany for a new trial In the suit brought
against it by Thomas F. McMlchael The
plaintiff was on November 4, 1895, In
jured at a drop press he was operating.
Though he continued TO work for the
defendant corporation for nearly six
years after the accident IL is admitted
Mr.. McMichaers injuries were OF seri-
Gus nature. He was awarded $4,000 by a
jury.
In the brief of Walter B. Vincent, coun-
sci for defendant, II is asserted that Mr.
McMichaels voluntarily left the employ
OF the defendant just before the statute
OF limitations went into operation and
that his wages had been Increased from
.05 to sl.75 a day. 1t is also declared
that plaintiff admitted THAT during the
period he worked on the machine which
injured him he had never heard OF It re-
peating and acting as II did when he was
injured.
A new trial Is asked for on three
grounds These are: First, because said
verdict Is against the law and evidence /;
second. because the presiding justice
erred In admitting testimony against the
objection OF the defendant. and third.
because the verdict OF the jury was ex-
cessive and unjust
on the other hand II is claimed by the
plaintiff that the jurys verdict was fully
warranted and should not be set aside.
Thomas T. Lee and Francis /. McCanna
are counsel for the plaintiff.

MILLIONS TO BE EARNED
IN CURING G0ATSKlNS

A new industry is offering itself to the
farmers and manufacturers of the
United States. The fact that S25. 600 600
worth OF gOatslSins are now annually i'm
ported into the United States, and that
our enterprising manufacturers are now
obliged to send halfway around the
world for large share of them, sug-
gests that the farmers Of the country
have great opportunity TO put & large
share of this sum into their own peck
-ets. and that the entire sum may be d.
Vided between our producers and manu-
lecturers. Importations of gOatskins
into the United States now amount to
about 81. 00o0 900 per annum, and a large
share Of these are brought from India,
China, Arabia, and southeastern Russia.
The increasing popularity Of certain
classes Of kid leather for footwear, as
well as gloves, has greatly increased the
demand for goatskins in the United
States within recent years In 1885 the
value OF gOatskins imported was 81, 600,
go: by 1880 il had grown 10 $. 600. 600: by
1883 it was SIS. Oo0. 900, in 1900 It was ST.
oo0000, and in 1903. in round numbers.
SIS, o00. 000 The farmers OF the United
States are apparently making no effort
20 reap any part of this golden harvest
for themselves. The census Of 1900
showed the total number Of goats in the
United States to be less than Zoo. 900 in
number. and when It is understood that
the skins of probably 100000 goats
were required to make the $4,000, 600
worth imported last year it would be
seen that the supply from the United
States could have formed but a small
share OF the total consumption. Yet the
fact that a large share Of our supply Of
this important import comes from India,
China. France, and Mexico suggests
that there are large areas in the United
States which might produce goats sue
.cessfully and in sufficiently large num-
bers TO supply the entire home dera and.
