The Court of Appeals has handed down
opinions as follows:
The Washington Loan and Trust Com
pany, Nancy Darling and Charles Herman
Darling, appellants, against Flora Adams
Darling; decree Of the lower court affirmed:
Opinion by Mr.. Justice Shepard. The ap-
peal was from decree charging the es-
tate of Nancy Darling and Charles Herman

der the will of their mother, Susan Cav
Beatrice Spranger, deceased, with the paw
ment OF $50 month to the appellee. Flora
Adams Darling, during her life.
Fred Lane, appellant, against Philip Levi:
order granting injunction reversed and
cause remanded for further proceedings
not inconsistent with the opinion of the
Court of Appeals. Opinion by Mr. Justice
Shepard. The bill was filed by Levi against
Lane to restrain the infringement of a pat
ent on certain polish. The polish of the
defendant, though resembling that of the
patent, cannot be treated as an infringe
ment, says the Court of Appeals, because
OF its omission of an ingredient that is a
material element of the composition OF
the patent. t
Louis Rosseau, appellant. against Thos.
A. Brown; decision of the commissioner of
patents affirmed. Opinion by Mr.. Chief
Justice Alvey. The appeal was from the
patent office in the matter of an interfer-
ence between the application Of Louis Ros-
seau, citizen of France, and the appli-
cation of William 1. Brown. The applica-
lions relate to a melting furnace
Henry S. Hallwood, appellant, against
Patrick Labor; decision Of the commits
sioner of patents affirmed Opinion by Mr..
Justice Shepard. The appeal was in an
interference case involving priority of in
vention Of an improvement in cash regis
tering machines.

IN BEHALF OF MRS. BARBEE.
Attorneys Ask That Appeal From
Award Be Not Prosecuted.

The District Commissioners have been re-
quested not to pursue their appeal from a
recent order Of the District Supreme Court

from $18S to $3.50 for land taken from her

the courts have held her case to, be most
meritorious one. - sisi-
1T appears by competent proof in the
case" the attorneys declare. shat Mrs.
Barbee purchased the condemned property
several years ago for thessums. of $3.50. 1t
BIO, which would make it, at the rate of
$500 an acre. 1t also appears by proof
that this was all the property. owned by
Mrs. Barbee and that she purchased this by
making small cash payment and giving
her notes to be paid monthly for the bal
ance At the time the verdict lin the case
was rendered by the jury: she still owed
500 on the property. The Jury awarded
her for the whole 29-1OO of an acre only
the sum of $1SS. or at the rate, of $3.50 an
acre. The LIST day Of April 1902, Justice
Hagner signed an order overrultng all ex-
ceptions to the verdict, including those filed
by the land owners as we'll as. those filed by
the District Commissioners. 1t is important
to note, however, that in his opinion he
speaks especially of the case of Mrs. Bar
bee, picking it out from all the other cases,
numbering hundred or more, and being,
perhaps, the smallest award, and refers to
1t in the following language: The case of
Mrs. Barbee seems to be meritorious, and
ought hereafter to receive consideration, as
it doubtless will"

Justice Anderson signed an order allowing
Mrs. Barbee $3.50. The District gave notice

consideration and opinion.

CUSTOMS OFFICIALS

Instructions have gone out to the Gus

keep a vigilant lookout for Chinese mer-
chants engaged in smuggling rupoer anu
gutta percha out Of the archipelago.
Detailed search on the part of forest rang
ers of the government employ has brought
to light some very curious facts IN regard
to. the traffic, some Of them Of great scien-
tific and commercial Importance and some,
as indicated by the orders to officers OF
customs, seriously involving Chinese ex-
porters.
Not only has the expedition confirmed the
belief that the. forests of Mindanao. the
Jolo archipelago and parts Of other Islands
abound in gutta percha trees and rubber
vines, but the government laboratory OF
Manila has demonstrated from samples
brought in by the forestry inspectors that
these Philippine products are equal to the

perhaps not inferior to the high grades OF

There is nothing that speaks better than the possession of a good chracter and that properly rounded by an education. Not what some people call an educa- tion. One of these sickly, chornic cancers, which causes a boy or girl to shun his parents, dis, dain his poor friends; dress fine and smoke cigars without any money. These boys and girls are parasites without shame liv- ing on their parents, to lazy to chop wood or wash the dishes. An education means any thing but that. It means to make a man a more liberal minded being One who can carry any line of action to a successful finish All education never robbed a man of one iota of energy or industry. It makes man more energetic. schooling that puts fashion and cigar smoking in ones head was conceived in sin and broughtforth in iniquity." There are more boys and girles ruined by these fashionable cesspools of satan, called schools than those who get their education following Beck" or wearing out a wash board for their mother.
