DATING OLD FURNITURE.

In these days of rage for old-fash-
Toned furniture, says Harper's Bazaar,
when even kitchen chairs, because
they are old" are promoted to the
parlor, it has become a matter of in
terest to determine at least approx
mately the dates of pieces. Of
course bought old furniture can only
be guessed at. When, however, old
furniture comes to one by inheritance,
there is usually some way of deter
mining VIXEN it was made, or at all
events when it was acquired by the
family. One clever woman to whom
came from various directions much
fine old mahogany. hit on an excellent
plant for indentifying each piece. She
had made tiny silver plates, and on
these were marked the dates and the
initials of those through whose hands
the articles had passed. These plates
were fastened on in some place quite
out of sight. For instance, she has
a very handsome two-leaf mahogany
table which formed part of the outfit

this fact. felt that it would be impos-
sible to undertake the responsible .du-
ties that devolve upon the president.
Her resignation is. felt to be a distinct
loss to the club, and expressions of re-
gret were general and sincere. Mrs.
Morgan originated the idea of the or
ganization in Savannah, and through
her influence and efforts it was estab-
lished about a year ago. She was at
that time unanimously elected presi-
dent. and has been since one of its
most enthusiastic members and active
workers, planning much of the de-
partmental work and directing it's af-
fairs most ably. In resigning yester-
day afternoon. she made a graceful
and beautiful address that was greatly
appreciated.
Miss Madge Reid, the first vice pres

SUPREME
COURT
DECISION

Eight decisions were handed down
today by the supreme court.
In the case of the State of Oregon,
respondent, VS.. Oscar Rogoway, appel
liant, which was appealed from Linn
county, Hon. Geo. H, Burnett, judge,
| the action of the lower court was af-
firmed by Justice Bean. Rogoway was
| convicted and sentenced TO the peni-
tentiary for the crime of arson.
Rogoways mother owned a second
hand store in Lebanon, which her son
was conducting for her, she being
resident Of Albany. The stock of the
store was worth about 5000, and was
insured for $500. 1t is held by the su-
preme court that the conflicting stories
Rogoway told are incriminating, and
that he was evidently guilty, although
the court also holds that one hour to
side was not enough time in which to
argue a case in which so much testi-
mony was introduced.
In the case of the State of Oregon,
respondent, VS.. Francis M. Feller,
appellant, which was appealed
from Harney county, Hon. Morton d.
tClifford, judge, the action of the court
was affirmed by Chief Justice Moore.
Feller was convicted of stealing
5000 from Mrs. Y. S. Whitmer, at
Burns, Or. The appeal was made on
the ground that the court erred in re-
fusing to charge the jury as requested.
In the case of H. Maynard, respond
ent, VS.. the O. r. & N. Co., appellant,
which was appealed from Union coun-
ty, Hon. Robert Eaxin, judge, the case
was reversed and remanded by Justice
