DEGREES of a single Justice will not
be reversed unless clearly erroneous.
The Justice passing the decree heard
and saw the witnesses. and had better
opportunity to judge of the actual fact
than we can have in a report of the
case. Here we not only have his opin-
ion. but also the opinion of a Jury of
twelve practical men concurring in the
same result. We are not prepared to
say that the decree was clearly wrong.
Appeal dismissed
Decree below affirmed.

Washington County, SIS. Henrietta
Bean. in Equity VS.. Della II. Nc
Nichol & ais. Rescript (No opinion)
Strout, J.
The question presented here is,
whether an absolute deed of land to
Archibald McNichol was given as Sc
curity for debt, and therefore to be
treated in equity as mortgage, or not
The question was submitted to a
jury, and the verdict was that it was
intended as a mortgage. On SUISSE
quent hearing before a Justice of this
court, he found it to have been in
tended as a mortgage, and passed a
decree to that effect, and allowed the
plaintiff to redeem.
From this decree an appeal was TAX
en-. which is the matter presented to
the Law Court.

Savage, J.
a lease of twelve acres of farm in
CaSwell' with the crops to be grown
upon it the ensuing season." but con-
tanning no more particular description
of the land, was given to the defendant,
as security, March o. 1900. 1t was
dated by mistake, March %, $780," and
was recorded as dated, in the town
clerks office, April II. 1900. The lessor,
on June 90, 1900, gave the plaintiff a
chattel mortgage of the crops then
growing upon farm in Caswell which
was particularly described. This
mortgage was duly recorded July 4,
1900. The defendants lease was in
tended to cover d portion of the farm
described i'm the Plaintiffs mortgage.
Potatoes growing on the twelve acres
at the date of the plaintiffs mortgage
were taken by the defendant.
/. Assuming that the defendants
lease, properly construed. is an equit-
able mortgage, it is held, that the re-
cord of the lease. although prior in time
to the plaintiffs mortgage, was INSULT
cient to give the plaintiff constructive
notice of the defendants equitable lien
of claim. 1t was too indefinite in the
description of the land, and was
actually misleading as to time.
2. Third persons are chargeable with
notice of 10 more than they can ascer-
| tain from the record of mortgage or
from being put upon their inquiry by
| the record
3. 1t follows that the plaintiff shows
a superior title to the potatoes in ques-
| ton.

ROCKEFELLER, JR., GIVES GOLD
The Poems of Southern Mexico Sing
Praises of the Free Aims
Kiyer.

The I&ons of southern Mexico are
singing the praise Of John ID. Rookie
Teller, Jr., and wife, because Of the
prodigaIity with which they have scat
tered half eagles, eagles and
double eagles among them. Wher-
ever they go they leave n trail
Of gold behind. When they crossed
the Rio Grande they brought
with them several sacks of silver dol
lars, which soon found their way into
the hands of the poems. When the
City of Mexico was reached, impressed
with the suffering that existed among
the poor, they obtained from the banks
sacks Of gold coin and en- route to Ok
aca at every place at which the train
stopped distributed S., so and $40
gold pieces among suppIicants for
aims. Never before in the history Of
McXica has there been so much gold in
circulation in this part Of the re-
public.

NAVY IMPROVES IN SHOOTING
Much hotter Narksma II III, u IL show n
In Practice with the
big Guns.

Ever since the maneuvers in the Car
ibbean began last winter the navy uc-
partmcnt has been watching the big
gun work of the American ships, and
separate sheets in the department
show exactly the results obtained
from every shot fired in target prac-
tice on every ship.
When the maneuyers began the prac-
tice was not good, because Of the large
amount of green material in the crews,
but the reports show steady increase
in the proficiency that is extremely
gratifying to the general board in
Washington.
Last week Commander Winslow
brought report Of extraordinary
practice by the Massachusetts, with
the big turret guns, and now comes a
report from the little battleship Texas
Of Santiago fame, that is at leastsatis.

at target practice at Loo yards, the
target measuring II by II feet (high)
one pointer made 100 per cent. Of hits
another 70 per cent, and many 80 per

NOT SUCCESSFUL IN CHICAGO.
the West, Hut Does in boston, Ac-
cording to Swedish Writer.

"Coeducation not for Sweden. In Bos-
ton it works well, but not in Chicago
| cannot tell why coeducatiOn is 50
successful in Boston and not success
full in Chicago. Boston seems to be the
most conservative of American cities
and its schools reflect the peculiar char
acter If its people. As for Sweden, ]
think the character of its people il
more like that Of Chicago than of Bos,
ton, and therefore cCeducation cannot
be possible
This was the opinion expressed the
other day by Miss Cecilia inflow, q
Swedish writer, teacher and sociolo-
gist, who has arrived in New York to
make an investigation into the school
system and philanthropic institutions,
Miss inflow has been making inyes-
legations in other American cities, and
she will make to the authorities a re
port Of what is to be found in Amer.
lea. One Of the chief things which
she has come to look into is the benefit
Of coeducation. Miss inflow has def
nitely decided, after studying Amer.
lean schools, that she will not recon-.
mend it in Sweden.

SURPLUS OF VOLCANO FUND.
Only Half of Money Raised for suf-
ferers In Martinique Used and
work In Ended.

The New York committee appointed
by President Roosevelt for the relief
Of the West Indies sufferers at ST.
Pierre, Martinique and other places on
account Of volcanic eruptions has made
q report. The financial statement
shows that subscriptions amounting to
$l57,C92 were received and that only
$40 793 was expended for relief work
When that amount had been paid out
It was found that no more supplies
were needed
Tsc committee says 80 per cent. Of
the amount subscribed can now be re-
turned, but President Roosevelt having
suggested that some donors might
wish 10 send their balances TO Gov.
Taft in response to his appeal for aid
for sufferers in the Philippines, the
committee has decided TO ask sub
fcribers what they wish to do with
the money due them.

REFORMS FOR IRELAND.
Plans being Lnid for Network of
Railroads for Henefit OF AgrI-
cultural Districts,

The details Of the transport scheme
for Ireland which Lord Iveagh and
Alderma Pirrie, Of London, have
evolved, have not yet been divulged. 1t
is generally expected that the plans
provide for either a network Of light
railways or an extensive service Of
motor cars for the benefit Of the az
ricultural districts. Lord Iyeagh has
already spent $l,250,0OO in transform
ing the Dublin slums into decent dwell
ingS for the working class. An inter
esting report is current in Belfast that
as an outcome Of Mr.. Wyndham's prom
ised civil service economies in ireland
al recruiting for the royal Irish con
Stabulary has ceased and that CON
siderable reduction in the existing
strength Of the constabulary /. con
templated.
