The condemnation of a Partisan novelist and
Journalist to two months Imprisonment, the
sentence also carrying a fine, for libel ON d
lady contained in a short story written by the
prisoner is characterized by "The Academy and
Literature" as just, for the libel appears to
have been particularly gross and i'll bred The
commentator gees on to remark that the case
rcvives the old question of how far a novelist
is Justified in drawing from the life, and adds
that while "the ethical rights Of the subject
are difficult to define, it would seem
to be perfectly legitimate to use the human
material at hand so long the delineation and
comment are reasonably unbiased 1t is 4 sub
jet on which one might generalize for years
without getting any forrarder. 1t is fatty i'm
possible to draw up a rule which will fit the
case under any and all circumstances Novel
lists will continue to misuse their opportunities
for the observation of their friends and ac
quaintances long as noyelists exist. All
that can be said with any degree of certainty is
that trouble will arise in this sphere of literary
indscreti0n in proportion as the nOvelsts char
acter is sound or tinged with dubious qualities.

about l., COO tons displacement, and the
Connecticut class of 1900 tons. The
COST of the Maine and Alabama classes
complete is about 600 each. The
cost of the Connecticut class is about
ST, 500 200 each. The displacement has
been increased 80 per cent in passing
from the Maine and Alabama to the
Connecticut. The cost Of four Connec-
ticuts viii equal the cost of five Names
and Alabanas. The weight devoted to
battery and ammunition in the Maine
and Alabama IS / 003 tons. and in the
Connecticut / $40 tons. Therefore, by in
creasing the displacement OF the Name
and Ala bama by 80 per cent. there mas
been a corresponding increase IN the
weight of the armament carried. Ihs
weight of the discharge of one rOunG

bama above 6-pOunders, is 5,312 pounds.
whereas the weight of the discharge OF
one round from all the guns above ~

pounds. or an increase of AS per cent.
Therefore. for an increase of one-third

five Names and Alabamas. with a bat

The late P. T. Barnum was always
fond of joke. His whole career was
studded with instances in which he in
dulged this propensity. But a few
days before his death he summoned

Dor keeps peacOcks. Suppose some Of
them should fly over into my yard
which they are doing all the time, and
lay some eggs here. Would those eggs
belong to me or could my neighbor
compel me to give them up2'
The lawyer, having duly scratched
his head answered: Well, Mr.. Bar
mum, I must take time to look into
this matter. But the best thing for
you to DO would be to keep the eggs
and let your neighbor sue for their
possession In that way your rights
would be determined and we should
have valuable test case
We'll. said Mr.. Barnum, while yoC
are looking into the matter viii you

Once Published a Book of Verse in
Baltimo acre.

John Pierpont, grandfather of J. Pier
pont Morgan, and for whom the fnan-
cier was named, was born at Lftchfeld,
Conn, in 1855 and died in 1855 He was
q lineal descendant of Rev. James Pier
pont the second minister of New Ha-
ven, with whose identity that of the
poet has recently been confounded by
certain newspapers that ordinarily are
accurate in matters of local history.
For forty years Mr.. FTerpont was a
contributor to New York periodicals. He
was the associate of such men as Irv-
ing, Paulding, Cooper. Halleck, Percival,
Drake and Willis during the formative
period of American letters, and was by
them highly esteemed, alike for his
mental qualities and for his personal
character.
Mr. Pierpont graduated from Yale col
lege in 1904 and passed the succeeding
four years in South Carolina as tutor in
the family of Col. William Allston, a
E1nSman OF the poet and painter, Wash
ington Allston G799-1S43). Returning to
the north, he studied law. and practiced
for a time in NewbuTypOrt but, re-
quiIing more active employment, be-
cause of his health, he abandoned the
profession to engage in mercantile pur-
suits. first in Boston and afterward in
Baltimore, in which city, in 1916. he
published his book Of verse, Airs of
/ PALESTINE The volume was twice re-
! printed, and made its author favora bly,
/ known a poet.
/ In addition to his numerous poems.
/ and essays and edited popular series
/ of school readers.

a short time before Pierponts death,
at MedfOrd. in his native state. 1 spent
an evening with the well preserved old
! poet and his second wife, and found him
at fourscore still in the enjoyment of
( vigorous health and strength.
when 1 asked Pierpont which he
preferred among his many poems, he
replied The one called Passing
