DECISION FOR PLAINTIFF
IN BURNETT CASE.
Judge Norwood Ruled That PrOmis-

Judge Norwood Ruled That PrOmis-
sorry Notes Must Be Paid.
An interesting decision was filed in
the City Court yesterday by Judge
Norwood in the case of Mrs. NJ. v.
Burnett against Mrs. D. E. Cunning
ham. The suit is for the recovery Of
money due on two promissory notes,
one for S3S35O and the other for $3.50,
which the defendant declared had been
secured by duress. The defendant also
commended that the plaintiff had used
money illegally to settle a criminal
prosecution in Baltimore.
Judge Norwood's decision favored the
plaintiff, and decided that no duress
was used to obtain the notes from the
defendant. The decision reviews the
various technical points raised, and it
is the opinion of the court that the
money was not unlawfully used in set
Ting the criminal prosecution in Balu-
more, in which both the plaintiff and
the defendant were involved. The de-
cision concluded: THE petition being
insufficient, judgment will be given for
the plaintiff, unless it be amended in
a reasonable time"

IN MEMORIAM.
IN MEMORIAM
OF Our Loving Mother.
MRS. JANE MEINCKE,
Died Savannah, Ga, Jan. l, 1904.


oh. Mother. dear. thy gentle voice is
hushed.
Thy warm, true heart is still;
And on thy pale and peaceful face
Is resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast,
We have kissed thy marble brow.
And in our aching hearts we know
We have no loving Mother now.
Through all pain at times she'd smile,
A smile of Heavenly birth,
And when the angels called her home.
She smiled farewell to earth.
Heaven retaineth now our dearest
treasure,
Earth the lonely casket keeps,
And the sunbeams long to linger,
Where our sainted Mother sleeps.
IT'S hard, dearest Mother, to break the
tender cord,
When love has bound our hearts;
IT'S hard, so hard. to speak the words
I'VE must forever part"
Dearest loved one, we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace;
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
One precious TO our hearts has gone,
The voice we loved is stilled,
The place made vacant In our home
Can never more be filled.
Our Father in His wisdom called
The boon His love had given.
And though on earth her body lies
Her soul is safe in Heaven.
May her soul rest in Peace.
BY Her Loving Children.

The entire building was thrown open for

palms and ferns, had been erected. while
numerous flags waved over the seats pro-
yided for the spectators. A detail of police
officers. under the command of Sergt. w. t.

Mr.. William F. Meyers the secretary OF
the board of directors, presented an inter-
esting historical resume of facts pertinent
to the institution, which, in part, follows:
The original founder and organizer of this
charitable institution was the Rev. Martin
Kraft. at that time pastor of the Eyangeli-
cal Lutheran Concordia Congregation who
had the cooperation of the vestry and q
number of the members of the church. The
association was organized Sunday, Sep
TENDER Z, 1879. 1t was incorporated Sep
TENDER %, 1879, and given the name of
German Protestant Orphan Asylum which
name was soon after changed to the Ger
man Orphan Asylum Association of the
District Of Columbia.
More Ample Quarters Secured.
with the interest grew the claims-it
became necessary to seek larger quar-
tiers. and the board of directors the 9th
OF May. 1889, passed a resolution to erect
commodious building of ample d.
mansions for the use of the asylum. The
corner stone was laid on February o, 1890,
and on the 26th day of October 1890 the
structure was dedicated with imposing
ceremonies, attended by prominent state
and city officials and by thousands of citi-
Zens The cost of the new building was
$4,000, without the interior arrangements,
decorations and accommodations of the
household. which were furnished In a
tasteful and practical style by the Ladies'
Aid Society.
The domain Of activity of the Ladies' Aid
Society and the Ladies' Sewing Society is
very extensive. The one devotes its ener-
giles to provide for proper food and utensils,
and the other for proper clothing both con-
tribute vastly to the comfort and welfare
or the orphans and deserve unstinted
praise. Mrs Rosne Botsch and Mrs Louise
Muehleisen are the presidents, respective
ly."
An Original Poem.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Meyers re-
marks President Imhof introduced Mr..
Frank Claudy. who delivered an original
poem. the theme of which was the blessing
that befalls those who assist In the work
of charity. such as caring for the orphans
Mr.. Claudy's poem was recited In German
and was literally applauded. Mr. Ernest
Schmeisser, the president of the German
Orphan Asylum of Baltimore, was next In
troduced. He spoke in German and told of
the hearty good will that prevailed be-
tween the local institution and the Baltf-
more asylum. He extended the best wishes
of the latter institution for the success OF
the home asylum, and in the name of the
board of directors of the Baltimore estab-
lishment presented the German asylum
here with a substantial check. Resolu-
tions, handsomely framed. congratulating
