M1sTAKEN FOR PRISONER.
Bristol Lawyer Reprimanded in New
 Britain Court.

Britain Court.
 Bristol, Dec 7.--Lawyer William Jl Malone of this place is wondering why
 he should be taken by Clerk Mitchell of the New Britain police court for ar| embezzler. Saturday morning be went to that city as counsel for William J| Ralph, who was charged with embed element in the police court. Afte3 court opened, and while the charg9 was being read by Clerk Mitchell, M Malone, who is tall and of goodly pro2 portions was standing in front of hid client Ralph, with his hands in hi4 pockets. Clerk Mitchell glanced at M1 Malone and, thinking he was the prisz oner, said sharply to him, 'Take youa hands out of your pockets, sir.
 Malone did not heed his injuncfio3 and Clerk Mitchell. when he saw thaI his wishes were not to be obeyedz again told the supposed prisoner
 act more respectfully in court and exI tract his hands from his pockets, buI MT Malone only smiled. By this timf the lawyers in the court room and th9 judge were enjoying the joke.
 Clerk Mitchell then leaned over th4 table and in a determined manner told
 him again to take his hands out o4 his pockets. Then MT Malone asked him why he should do so. and OlerH Mitchell exclaimed, Because you ar4 charged with taking money undei false pretenses., Then MT Mal0n@ turned around and pointed to the pris| oner. Prosecuting Attorney Gusa| man said that the court officials wer3 not to blame if Bristol lawyers can} to that city looking like ennbezzlers Then everybody laughed and the cler3 ypalized his mistake

EXTENDING THE DOCTRINE OF
MENTAL ANGUISH.

There has been much division of opinion
IN the legal profession about how to reach
the cash value OF mental anguish in the
increasing number of mental anguish"
suits. The most remarkable deliverance
upon .nis litigation is made by the Su-
rreme court of Louisiana growing out of
a breach of contract to prepare a trous-
seau. This is a case that will interest
the women as we'll as throw light upon
knotty law problems.
The Supreme court OF Louisiana. in the
case OF Lewis V. Holmes, 81 Southern Re
porter, 66, holds hat damages may be
recovered for the deprivation of intel
lectual enjoyment and for mental suf-
contract of a fashionable milliner to fur
nish the dresses for the trousseau of a
bride of wealth and high social standing.
The court states that it must take into
consideration not alone the di~sappoint-
ment OF the bride IN not having the
dresses in time for the wedding. and her
modification and humiliation in going to
her husband unprovided with a suitable
trousseau, but also the fact that enter
taInments had been planned In her hon
or on her wedding tour and at her ar
rive. at the home of her husband, which
entertainments she had to forego for want
of the dresses.

MERS AND THE TOBACCO
TRUST.

Every few months some subsidized
thankful they ought to be TO the tobacco
trust because it has secured a market
for their tobacco in South Africa and III
China. If the farmers do not rise up and
on Bonded knee express their gratitude
for the wider markets, in view Of the
fact that the trust, within two years after
lis organization put down the price Of
their tobacco twenty-five per cent, these
same benefciaries Of the Tobacco trust de-
nouncc them a. ingrates and the dupes OF
anarchists and demagogues.
How grateful ought the North Carolina
growers TO be to the tobacco trusto In
It speech made at Rcidsville last week,
Col. John S. Cunningham is reported to
nave said that tobacco growers have not
made expenses since 1898 save the past
two years, and the consolidation of the
two powerful organizations whose rivalry
put up prices last fall had left the farm
ers in a bad condition.
Here is tAe testimony of a North Caro-
lima farmer, printed in the North Carolina
Tobacco Journal a few years ago:
Eight years ago l was making money
growing tobacco. My two girls were just
entering school, and | had planned to edu-
cate them in the best schools: and every
thing pointed to my ability to do this. 1t
had been the dream Of my life TO give my
two daughters the best education posi-
bic. But as a direct result of the tobacco
trust the price OF tobacco suddenly de-
cllned. My farm was just as productive,
but l could not get more than cost for
my tobacco. just as my daughters were
about to enter college l found that |
was unable. on account Of the depreciat-
ed prices OF tobacco, to give them the
college course. I was helpless. The
dream of my life suddenly came to an
end, and since that time, instead of edu-
eating my children. / have barely been
able to make a comfortable living for
them. In my dying hour it seems to me
that l could curse the men who have
robbed my dear girls of the education |
had planned for them. But this is not
my story only; it IS the story Of thou
sands OF tobacco growers in this State"

the supply of California fruits that the
cars bring us is said to be only the sua-
gestion OF what is coming later. They
have found GASES in Montana, Idaho ana
other far western states where it is said
the finest fruits OF the country are
grown. AS this fruit culture develops
the markets of the east will get the
benefit.
1t is with these small delicacies that
the marvel of transportation seems most
evident, but, in fact, we are dependent
on the cars for practically everything
we need Our meats come from beyond
the Mississippi, and our flour comes as
far. We could not live a week on our
own resources, and the whistle of the
steam engine and the roar of the cars
are the announcement of the coming
of the things that we must have to keep
a-going. On the other hand, of course,
the things that we here are making are
necessary to the producers elsewhere,
and it is in the exchange of these ser
vices that we all keep busy.-Hartford

What Railroads Do for Us.

In this wet and sunless season, when
fruit has been so scarce, the best melons
received in the Hartford market have
come here from Mexico and Colorado.
These have been very choice and nota-
bly, fine, not the makeshift of an emer-
gency. Who would have imagined a
comparatively few years ago that per-
ishable small fruits would be carried
such distances2 The trunk line of rail-
road, the reduced cost of transportation
and the introduction OF the refrigerator
car have made this amazing result pos
sible.
And, after all. that is only one of
many astonishing incidents of the mar
kets of the day. Just think of the state
