'G A German legal paper publishes the account of woman who, though very much alive, has been declared legally dead and for whom there is no recourse but to remain so. Some years ago Frau Helene Schaaff disappeared from her home, and after certain time had elapsed her heirs applied for an account ing, and as it was shown that nothing had been heard from her, her name was entered with those who had gone before. Three years later she reappeared, prov- ed her identity beyond doubt and de- rnanded her property and certain pass ports and other papers that German citizens are required to have. The au- thorities decided, however, that having been declared dead, she must be dead, and the courts upheld this contention, taking the ground that she should have proved before that she was alive, and the statute of limitation having inter- vened there was nothing for her to do but to remain dead in law even though it was conceded that she was alive in the flesh.

''How is it worth a mans while," asked Penny packer, ''to write poem, as Read did, that ought to go down to the ages, when the people around him will turn away from him and waste their synpa- thy upon the story of 'Evangeline,' as tanely presented by 8 Longfellow?

In the talk about the speed limit of the automobile mention is made of the ruse by which willy Partisan automobilists induce the authorities of that city to ex- tend it some miles beyond the limit at which they were about to fix it. They took tine town councillors for spin in the Bois, keeping strictly to the number of miles per hour which the worthy gen. tlemen had hotly contended to be suf- ticient. The town councillors were frank ly bored. Then, at a given signal, the chauffeurs increased the speed to the one which was universally desired. and their guests admitted with rising spirits that it was quite a reasonable speed. And the next day they admitted it again in their bylaws.

TROUBLE IN TRAIN OF ART.

President and Mrs Roosevelt are be-
lieved to have invited trouble for them
selves when they decided to hang
George Frederick Watts famous
painting. Love and Life. in the fam
lily dining-room OF the white house.
This is the painting which was given
to the United States government by
Mr.. Watts during the last term OF
President Cleveland. 1t contains the
nude figure of woman. who is seem
ingly on the verge of death. Her eyes
are fixed on the figure of man who
hovers above her. President Cleve-
land was willing to give the painting
a place in the white house and would
have done so if the Woman Christian
Temperance union and other urSaniZa-
tions affiliated with it had not sent in
upwards of SOC. 900 protests against
the plan.
The picture was sent to the Cor
coran Art gallery, where it remained
on exhibition until Mrs. Roosevelt de
cided to hang it in the family dining
room of the white house. There is
no doubt that it Will meet with the ap-
t,roval of connoisseurs. but the same
women who forced its reiesation to
the art gallery eight Years ago will at
tempt to repeat that performance now.
Already the white house is being
flooded with letters of protest from
every part of the country. letters writ
ten by women. who Indignantly resent
the idea of hanging a picture contain
ing two nude human figures in any
room in the white house. 1t is be-
lieved that before the letter writer's
are through the president will have
heard from 100000 of them.

NOVEL CLAIM AT ISSUE.

The claim of certain Hawaiians for
81 800 600 damages for the destruction
forts of health officials to stamp out
the bubonic plague in that city. which
is now before the committee ON ter
ritories of the house Representatives,
involves an interesting question. That
is whether the United States govern
ment shall be held liable for expenses
incurred by the peri. rmance of their
duties. This claim has been referred
to a subcommittee of the committee
on territories composed of Representa-
tives Powers of~Maine. Cusham Of
Washington and Robinson of Indiana
and the congressman have been busy
giving hearings,:to. the.claIasants' and
their witnesses. This subcommittee
will prepare its report at the con-
clusion of its labors and ON their re-
port will depend the action of the full
committee and probably of congress.
The matter is being watched with
great deal of interest especially among
Democratic members of congress.
These say that if the clailm9 should be
acted on favorably it will result in
the bringing forward of similar claims
against the federal government by in
habitants of the Philippine islands and
Porto Rico for damages sustained by
them in enforcing the quarantine
regulations. If congress should pass
this claim it is not easy to see how
it could discriminate against claims of
a similar nature from our other poas-
essions Democrats say taat the in
sular governments ought to be held
responsible if anybody is. for such
claims and they purpose to- see that
this shall be done. -

could have been done if the proper
aid had been rendered the railroads.
dUccd to locate here, and the citi-
zenship of these farmers is going to
be worth many thousands of dollars
annually to the county and Pine Bluff.
On the strength of representations
made by the railroads as to Jefferson
county and Pine Bluff. over fifty negro
families have located in Pine Bluff
and jefferson county within the past
two months. These negro families
have not been of the shiftess kind
which are not only of no value to
any community, but really a disadvant-
age They are negroes who have not
come as paupcrs, but all Of them have
come with money-from 500 to $500
each. Several Of them have purchased
homes. and a negro population OF
energy and industry sufficient to ac-
emulate homes is not a bad popula-
ton.
Thus it will be seen that With prac
tjcally no effort bV the local people
100 or more families have been added
to the city and county What might
have been done with organized effort?
Pine Bluff is prosperous. Ii is one
of the best business points III the
South and the people in all the
business avocations are prospering.
There is no place anywhere in which
a person can make SO small q begin
ing in business and SO soon get up
into the front ranks. jefferson county
is one of the best farming counties in
the state. and all kinds of crops are
profitable. but the people OF both city
aud county are too content with their
present prosperity and are not active
enough in the effort to increase their
prosperity.
