DISTRICT COURT.
Over $4,000 Awarded Plaintiff In
Case Of Tiegen vs.. BIuewater Land
and Irrigation Company,
OTHER COURT MATTERS.

The case of E. A. Tietgen versus
the Bluewater Land and Irrigation
company, which occupied the attention
of Judge Baker and a jury in the dis
trict court all of last week, is ended.
The jury brought in a sealed verdict
on Saturday night.
1t was opened this morning and the
plaintiff is awarded S4,4O6.O9. The
plaintiff wanted damages in the sum
OF $4,000. The plaintiff gave notice
of motion for a new trial.
Both sides in the suit of William
Farr versus the cattle sanitary board
for $1,000 damages, were asked by the
court to submit briefs in the case.
The court this morning took up the
case of Rena Potter versus the Albu.
querque Water and Supply company,
whereby the plaintiff sought to recover
judgment for $4,000 for damages al
legged to have been sustained in the
los of her child, Folger Potter, in Octo-
Der, 1897. by drowning in the defend
ants reservoir on the mesa. The plain
tiff's case tended to show that the
child, with others, had on the day in
question been granted leave by the
mother to take an excursion up to the
sand hills on the Saturday in question,
taking their lunch with them; that
when they had been on the mesa
awhile they observed from the main
road tRailroad avenue extended) the
mound of the reservoir, and from cur
iosity and childish instinct were bent
upon investigation; that the fence of
the water company being in bad condi-
ton they had no difficulty in reaching
the top of the mound, where they sat
under the little wharf, out of the sun,
to eat their lunch; that the sides of
the reservoir were of cement and in
about Z years of age. on touching the
water edge, which was slippery from
the deposits from the water, lost his
footing and fell in the water, with fatal
results. The defendant contended that
in the case made by the plaintiff no
liability was shown; that it was not
bound in law to guard The reservoir
from children at that place. At ad-
journment the court was still engaged
in hearing argument upon the law
question involved.

Yankees in the Nicobars.

We have read more entertaining books
Of travel than Mr.. c. Boden Kloss's in
the Andamans and :Nicobars" (John
Murray; E. P. Dutton 4 Coz. but 1t has
qualities of originality and honesty that
redeem the somewhat commonplace tone
of the narrative. There is something very
attractive in the idea of two Americans
sailing out OF Singapore into the Indian
Ocean in a little schooner yacht manned
by Malay crew and hunting for birds and
small beasts In almost unknown islands.
The Andamans have been already described
1t was on one Of them that Lord Mayo, the
Governor-General Of India, was assassi-
mated; and Mr.. Kloss's stay there was brief,
but the Nicobars, to the south, are less known,
and Mr. Klosss book probably gives the
fullest as we'll as the latest description Of
them and their savage inhabitants.
1t is a record of steady, hard work on the
part Of the two jealous naturaliste in chasing
their particular prey, but they found time
to study the natives pretty thoroughly.
The ideal Of equality seems to have been ap-
preached quite closely for men and women
alike by these primitive barbarians. They
are not beautiful to look upon In the pho.
tographs in Mr.. Kloss book. These are q
valuable part Of the book, and the honesty
with which they are reproduced, regard
less Of prudsh squeamishness, will make
the reader who cares for queer peoples and
their ways forgive the author for sins
against the English language.

What hope there is Of graphing with the
evil Of drink must spring from rational
measures founded on q basis OF actual
fact. Tho wild rawlings OF so-called tenn
perance associations that refuse to open
their eyes to the truth are productive Of
almost as much harm in this matter as the
alcoholic excuses OF those whom they
seek to reform. Tho ooarser forms Of
persecution may have disappeared from
religious conflicts, but they persist, both
in word and deed, in the field Of temper
ance' agitation, as was shown recently
in the case OF Prof. Atwater Of Wesleyan
University for his efforts to ascertain the
scientific truth OF the facts on which alone
practical and real temperance reform can be

entirely approve OF Senator Mince Pie Null

QUESTIONABLE SHAPES.
1t sounds odd to speak of
Mr.. Howells as writer of
ghost stories, but in his latest
volume, Questionable Shapes,
there is fiction Of a very ghostly
character. Yet these stories do
not seem untrue, as ghost stories
usually do. The truth is these
tales are told with such per-
feet art, such Photographic
reality, that the reader feels he
is living with the characters
through their queer adventures,
and is part Of the mystery,
the awe, Of the thing. The
volume is one which will inter

Readers who are interested in such matter

he was initiative and much given to the
worship of those in whom he noticed any
marked popularity. An elderly maiden
LADY, with a limp and an unfortunate gentle
man suffering from St. vitus's dance were
both objects OF his regard and inspired him
to initiate their respective symptoms.
They appealed to his imagination. Perhaps
some persons would have called it an un-
healthy imagination. At the early age OF
8 he fell In love with little girl whose
chief attraction for him was a tremendous
squint. Later, when her mother called In

Felix's passion vanished.
Here evidently was the making Of hero
from whom anything might be expected.
AZ schoolboy he was still susceptible to
strange influences. A piano recital would
excite him for weeks, out Cesar left him
cold and algebra absolutely CONCEALED
him. He worshipped Dante and he loathed
Oliver Cromwell, and Charles the Second
was his favorite King. His schoolmasters
did their best for him, but they failed to
make much impression. He thought of
them as circus horses. cantering gently
round and round and kicking up with their

As young man he fulfilled the promise
OF his childhood by falling in love, in a
rather caH-like and quite innocent way,
