OF the respondents. who now II Is claimed

The troubles OF the members OF the
society interested In today's hearing have
been quite fully aired In court during

tiste Is an old one OF it's class In Paw
tucket. and the trouble Is alleged TO have
broken out when an effort was made TO
merge II in the Society st. Jean Baptiste
OF America.
Complainant claims that there for a
long time existed n conspiracy to break
up the society OF st. Jean Baptiste OF
Pawtucket, that it's officers wasted Its
friends and advised members not 10 pay
dues. that law suits were stirred up
against the society by their officers. that

swer and proof. II came out that while
the sale should have been made by the
committee that Is the deed given by them
and not by tho officers OF the society.

ant. The court held the case for ad-
visement after hearing long arguments.

Jack London's New Novel.

Jack London's new novel ''The Sea-
Wolf" begins in the January Century.
The story is told in the first person. 1t
opens with collision in San Francisco
Bay which throws Humphrey Van Wey-
den into the power Of Wolf Larson, the
wild, brutal captain who picks him up,
and whose evolution the story works
out. AS Mr.. London's other tales have
done, "The Sea-Wolf' deals with the
life he knows. He was born in San
Francisco, and his boyhood was passed
on a ranch. He left home at fifteen,
spent two years on the bay and among
the wharves Of San Francisco as salmon
fisher, oyster-pirate, fish-patrolman and
longshoreman, and at seventeen shipped
before the mast. His education he
picked up as he could, and because he
was hungry for books he found them
good ones too-in many unlikely places
At present he is living on the Piedmont
Hills, overlooking San Francisco Bay,
and much Of his writing is done. on his
yacht.

The Duke of Fife holds record. He
is the only man who has ever been
known to change his rank while he ate
his breakfast. After the marriage cere-
mony had been celebrated in the private
chapel of Buckingham palace. on the
morning of July q, 1889, he led his
royal bride into the dining room, where
the wedding breakfast was laid, as an
earl. When the meal was half over
the late queen, in raising her glass to
the toast of the young couple, con-
ferred dukedom upon him, and thus
as he ate he passed through two ranks
Of the peerage-s surely the quickest pro-
motion ever recorded.
