BON DIS
NEELY SCORES A POINT
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT CAM
NOT SUE HIS BONDsMEN.
Cuba. EavIrg Released the Indianfan
from Civil Liability, His Surety
Company Need Not Pay.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 31.-Judge Morris in
the United States Court to-day decided
against the government in a demurrer to
replication in the suit of Martin c. Fosnes,
former director general OF posts for Cuba,
against the United States Fidelity and
Guaranty Company. surety of c. F. w.
Nicely, formerly connected with the Cuban
postal service. Nicely defaulted for several
thousand dollars and the United States FL
deity and Guaranty Company was on his
bond for 5000. 1t is said that other bonds
amounting in the aggregate to 100000 are
involved.
t The question before the court was whether
a release by the Cuban courts released
Neely's bond. There was produced in court
the record of a case in which ii was de-
cIared that since Nicely had been proceeded
against criminally and had been lined his
civil liability to Cuba had been wi,,ed out.
Formal action was taken in the proceedings
releasing him from civil liability.
Judge Morris decided that IL the govern
ment of Cuba through its courts had re-
leased Nicely from civil liability the United
States had no right in its own courts to i'm
peach its decree and sue the bondsmen of
Nicely. District Attorney John c. Ross APP
peared for the government.
While the point seems vital to the case,
Ii is not stated that the decision makes
an end Of the proceedings.

Brooklyn Eagle.
What queer quirks a good and obedient
mind will sometimes take? clergyman of
exceptional scholarly attachments tells me
that he once wrote what he. at the moment,
conceived to be the word righteous" The
nature of his calling ought TO suggest
that, of all words, this one should be among
the most familiar to him; and, indeed, it
was. Yet when he had written 1T, ii did
not look right After puzzling over ii for
some time he concluded that 1t must end
with 'ious'' instead of "epus." he had
written it. Finally, in mental muddle. he
went to his unabridged dictionary, but was
amazed at finding no such word there. De-
ferring further search, for the nonce. he
completed his letter and then opened the
dictionary again. This time he found the
word all right and in it's proper place. a
fact which, he said, would have been a
warning to him If he had been a drinking
man.
The explanation of ii was, that by some
unaccountable freak he had got IL into his
noddle that IL was spelled ''ritcheous" He
had spelled il so in his letter and had, OF
course. looked on the wrong page OF the
dictionary for IL in the first instance. By
the time he looked again the crotchet was
out OF his mind and he knew how TO spell
the word as we'll as Webster did.
