valley of the Shadow.

The place which has the reputation of
being the coolest between London and
York is not ten miles from Charing
Cross. 1t Is the valley, locally known as
"The Valley of the Shadow" at the
northern side of Royal Oak hill, between
Child's Hill and Finchley, and is about
the first bit of real country that glad
dens the eyes of the cockney cyclist.
The road makes a dip into a dell be-
tween green fields, and in the valley on
the left, a water cress farm, much pat
ronized for its penn'orths by bona fide
Sunday travellers, shows the existence
Of a plentiful supply of running water.
In spring, autumn, winter, and one may
include what stands for summer now
adays, there is a dividing line distinct
ly noticeable between the upper air and
m unexpected layer of clammy chilli
ness which hangs motionless over the
"Valley of the Shadow" thuogh the sky
may be blue and the trees green on
either side. Most people prefer to travel
down hill, but in this case it is quite a
relief to leave that queer penetrating
cold stratum for the mellow air of the

Another runaway has occurred
through the carelessness of leaving a
horse standing in front of a building
without hitching or q weight being
thrown out. Many people were en-
dangered and several narrow escapes
were reported. The Evening News
has called attention to this matter be-
fore when a little boy vas knocked
down in Smith street. In all cities
of any size drivers are compelled to
carry weights on hitching straps in
their wagons and when a horse is left
alone, if only for an instant, these
weights are thrown out, acting as an
anchor for the animal. Must Perth
Amboy wait for a fatality before
drivers are compelled to do this thing
here?

Through failure of the Maryland
Legislature to provide for the protec-
tion of the oyster growers of the
State, the production of the famous
Chesapeake bay bivalves has greatly
fallen off, so that Baltimore dealers
have to import oysters from New York
to supply their trade, and what a poor
substitute the latter is, to be sure.
The oyster growers claim to be a

command, and if they know how to
use the latter, they can speedily get

Another New Brunswick man has

in which Perth Amboy is deeply con-
cerned. We do not propose to criticise

that there are men in this city fully

receivers appointed for concerns in

one is necessary, it would seem that

Judge Evans Decides an Impor-

Holds That Private Banker
May Also be
Farmer.
s DECISION OF INTEREST

In an opinion which will be of far
reaching Importance to bankruptcy At
torneys throughout the state, Judge
Walter Evans, Of the United States
District court yesterday at Louisville
dismissed the petition Of J. d. Oouts
and others seeking to force r. T.
Townsend, of Adairviiie, KY. into
bankruptcy, and held that the report
of Referee J. A. Dean, who was APP
pointed special master In the case, be
confirmed.
The case involved . new point in
bankruptcy procedure, and hinged
upon certain questions Of fact regard
ing whether or not Mr.. Townsend,
who was q private banker, and who
made an assignment on June % Last,
was chiefly engaged in farming, which
allegation was made by his attorneys.
Judge Evans held that the evidence
adduced by Referee Dean showed con-
clusively that Mr.. Townsend's chief
occupation was that of q farmer, and
sustained Mr.. Deans report with an
order to dismiss the involuntary bank
ruptcy petition. In passing on the
case Judge Evans nd:
"No suggestion comes to the court
Of any reason why . private banker,
any more than private groceryman,
or q private dry goods merchant, or o
jeweler. should not be exempt from an

chiefly engaged in farming, and only

seems to the court, an accurate. oon-
struction of the statute leads to this
conclusion. No sound reason appears
to exist for condemniug private bank
ing to different and less favorable
status than other legitimate oocupa-
tions. 1t results that all of the excep-
