oLp ENGLISH HOMES.
The Hall Was the Principal Apart
ment In the Middle Ages.

ment In the Middle Ages.
Amid all the luxury Of a modern
home it is hard to realize how our
Anglo-Saxon ancestors lived in what
now would seem n condition Of utter
discomfort. Comfort was, however,
gradually evolved, and the present ar
ticIe deals with the time when re-
fined condition of domestic life was
first beginning to assert itself.
In this connection it must be remem-
bered that during the middle ages In
England there was general revolu-
ton in society. a new class had late
" sprung into existence. Feudalism
had been destroyed and the middle and
lower elements of the population were
rising.
With their social betterment came an
improvement both in house construc-
ton and interior arrangement. Narrow
streets were still the order Of the day,
sadly out of keeping with our modern
ideas of sanitary requirements, while
the houses were chiefly Of the "half
timber" kind, some Of which had the
lower story Of stone and those above,
each projecting over the one below,
consisted Of timber framework filed
in with bricks. It was a picturesque
fashion, but it did not provide sun
shine and air.
The rooms were usually small and
dark. The hall was the principal pub
lie apartment and remained the only
part of the house unaffected by the
growing taste for domestic privacy.
The general arrangement Of this very
important part Of the house is made
apparent to us in such pictures as that
of the Hundred Mems Hall' at st.
Cross, near Winchester.
AS the hall was the usual scene OF
domestic festivities it was consid-
cred necessary to have a gallery for
musicians. Sometimes this gallery oc.
cupied two sides, though usually 1t
was placed at one end, opposite the
dais. In large halls the fireplace was
still in the middle, where there was
d INV pieA(AOAAA ~ SNN~N ~
a kind that may be seen in an old cut
representing the fireplace in the great
hall at Penshurst, Kent. Large iron
dogs, or andirons, supported the logs.
In some parts of England they were
called ."cob irons" A group Of orna-
mental fire irons of the sixteenth CEN
tury is most interesting. Often an I'M
plement placed beneath the firedog was
used for moving logs.
The walls of the hall were usually
furnished with tapestry, and in the
middle was q table with bench on
each side. There were also cupboard,
or "hutch," with side tables, one or two
chairs and perhaps SETTLE" Chairs
were still comparatively rare. Buffet
stools were generally provided, and
these commonly had hole through the
middle for lifting them.-Home Beauti'

pal church at 4:S0 this afternoon before A
brilliant assemblage.
Henry Kendall Thaw gave the bride

Early in the day the earl and his family

tained the license his lordship filling out
the blanks himself and SO evading the usual
questions.
The earl of Yarmouth who was today
welded to Miss Alice Thaw had a dis
agreeable experience at his hotel on his

When he entered the Hotel Schenley

JUDGE GRANTS INJUNCTION
Eight Railroads Are Forbidden to
Discriminate Against Small
shippers.

KA tsz. 7GTY, April 27.-Judge John F.
Phillip #.. United States circuit court
here tods n, temporary injunction
restraining Lsing eight named rail-
roads from a. ing against small
shippers Chicag Chicago. Mil
waukee G. St. Pauf p, Topeka &
Santa Fe, Burlington . .noy, Missouri
Pacific, Chicago, Rock tsand & Pacific,
Wabash and Chicago Great weFern.
The case presented the same question in
volved in similar cases passed upon by
Judge Grosscup at Chicago on Friday last
As the demurrers in these cases we're heard
by Judge Grosscup and Judge Phillips, sit
ting together. the brief opinion given by
Judge Grosscup last Friday was the result
Of their conference and agreement
The decision delivered by Judge Phillips
today, which was oral, maintains that the
determinations and rebates made and al
lowed by the railroad companies were
violative of the interstate commerce act
and that they tended to create a monopoly
in the shipment of grain and products In
favor OF the individual shipper. to the
practical exclusion OF all other dealers and
like shippers, and that the question pre-
sented was whether or not a bill in equity,
at the instance of the attorney general Of
the United States, on request OF the Inter-
state Commerce commission, would lie to
enjoin the defendants from further rebates
and determinations.
The inclination of the mind OF the court
was that the acts done we're not only vio-
latlve Of the interstate commerce statute,
but also the antitrust statute; and that
the government, in the capacity Of a parent,
representing all the people concerned in
the shipment Of such products, and for the
public welfare, was entitled to appeal to
its own courts to enjoin such violations
OF the law; that the bill known as the
Elkins bill, under the decision OF the SUI
preme court of the United States in Mis-
siouri Pacific Railway company against
United States, recently rendered, expressly
confers jurisdiction upon the federal courts
in equity both as to pending and future
cases; that there can be no question of
the right of the court to grant a tenn
porary Injunction in the cases pending,
which will be done as on motions now en-
tered, with leave to the defendants, il they
desire, to take issue by answer as to the
truth Of the allegations of the bill.
