COMMON SENSE ON THE BENCH.

Justice Flemming of the N. Y court of special ses
sions resents the imputaton that the laws an ass
There was a case before him and his colleagues
relating to illegal sale Of lager beer in which the
plaintiffs counsel contended that the people must
prove that the beverage sold to them had been fer
mented and malt liquor" Thereupon the learned
Judge responded that to require testimony from per-
Sona knowledge the production Of an expert analy
SIS to establish that presumption would practically
amount to notification Of the law. He said it was
mattr of common knowledge that lager beer was
ermented and malt liquor, and therefore judicial
knowledge would be taken Of the fact Doubtless he
had no thought of implying that all beer was just what
it puported to be- but so far as he was concerned he
was resolved that the law shaud not be made to appear
ridiculous, and by way Of making clear his point of
view he told little story.
About half century ago there was justice Of the
peace in Jamaica before whom an action was brought
to recover penalty for the sale Of quantity of
Whskey under five gallons under the law then made
and provided Tt was proved that the defendant with
out license had sold glass Of whskey but his coun
sci moved for dismissal of the case on the ground
that there was nothing in the evidence to show that
the glass did not contain five gallons or more. "In
that case, said Judge Femming, with pleasant hu

THE DEsTRoYERs' GOOD WORK.

The fotila of torpedo boat destroyers. under con

islands for Gibraltar few days since and are vel
upon the third stage of their journey toward the Phil
ppnes Up to this time the torpedo hotilla has moveG
exactly ON schedule time and had voyage absolutely
without incident beyond the ordinary
When it was proposed to send these torpedo boat
| destroyers to the Philippians, there was number OF
aarmists who rushed into print with claim that it
was taking most desperate chance to send vessels with
such relatively small tonnage upon such very long
voyage; and the navy department was censured for
exposing the lives of officers and men to such unneces
sary peril. All of this was rather ridiculous in view
OF the fact that torpedo boat destroyers and in fact
very much smaller torpedo boats had been sent from
Europe to Asatic waters in large numbers, says the
Post-Intelligencer
No one who had any knowledge of the seaworthness
OF these destryer which are vessels of some 42O tons
displacement, had the slightest doubt of their fitness
to make an voyage but in concession to unin.
formed public opinion the department detailed the
cruiser Buffalo to convoy the fota much to the dis
gust of the officers non of whom could see the neces
sity of any such nursing
The vessels which are designed to reinforce the As
latte feet and probably for permanent use in Asatc
waters are the Decatur, Banbridge, Barry Chaunceyl
and Dale. They are all new, having been launched
within the past two years All are of identical size
and very similar power and speed. With the arma.
ments which they carry which includes 3-inch guns

WORKING FOR A WORLDS PEACE.

Assurances of continued peace with its neighbors il
the society of nations an asset which should be covet
ed by every country. Certain learned historians hav
pointed out that every war the world history coult
have been averted had few evel-headed men, repre-
senting the contendng nations met about table anC
reached compromise. Society has recognized
the force of this argument as applied to individual
eases only it has abolished the code dueo but civ
izaton has not yet reached that point where armed
dviduals, is under the ban.
But that stage of civilization may be not far dis
tant The establishment of the tribunal of The Hague
was long step in the direction of attaining the covet-
ed goal Recently conference was held at Washing
ton presided over by Hon. John W. Foster, former
secretary of state that marks another step forward
It's purpose was to consider matters looking to the con-
euson of an arbitration treaty with Great Britain
similar in its general features to the treaty defeated
In the United States senate in 1897 Such men as
Edward Everett Hale, Andrew Carnegie, President
Woodrow Wilson of Princeton, Hon. Frederick w
Seward, Governor Durbin of Indiana President Jor-
dan of Stanford and Edward Rosewater, the destin.
gushed editor of the Omaha Bee addressed the gath
erng The result of the conference was the adoption
of resolution advocating the treaty mentioned
The language Of the document sets forth that it is
recommended to the government to endeavor to en-
ter into treaty with Great Britain to submit to arb
tration by the permanent court at The Hague or, in
default of such submission, by some tribunal specially
constituted for the case, all differences which they
may fail to adjust by diplomatic negotiations" also
it is recommended that the two nations agree not to
resort in any to hostile measures until after this
means of settlement by arbitration has been exhausted
and further the resolution recommends that our gov
enment should enter into treaties to the same effect
as soon as practicable with other powers
It is well and fitting that proposition Of this sort
should from the United States If the treaties
can be effected according to the suggestion or even if
only the one with Great Britain be effected will
have been accomplished toward bringing aboutl the
worlds peace than could be secured in a whole volume

Japan is divided for military purposes, into seven
districts each of which is occupied by division The
headquarters of these divisions are located respect
lyely at Toxic, Sendai, Nagoya, Osaka, Hiroshima
Kumamoto, and Sapporo. There is also the Imperial
Guard, with headquarters of course at Toxic; they
are to be distinguished from other soldiers by having
red instead Of yellow band around the cap and are
picked corps, who present very fine appearance.
The war footing Of the japanese army exceeds 100000
men, and its peace footing is almost 2OOO00 these
figures take account only Of complaints. The dis
elplne courage and endurance Of the Japanese have
been clearly exhibited side by side with troops Of Oc
cldental nations in China and have suffered naught
by comparison

Attachment Served.

Thursday afternoon an attachment
was served on the stock of goods of
John Daron, of the Weiser Fruit &
Produce company, by the Tuttle
Mercantile company, of Nampa.
The bill owing them was a paltry
sum--about $25-but in order to
make it appear larger they persuaded
the firm of Mason, Erhman & Co.,
of Portland, who had bill against
Mr.. Daron, to assign their claim to
them, thus making little more
thar 800.
Mr.. Dsron has the sympathy OF
everyone, He was married few
months ago. shortly afterward bis
wife was taken sick and was confined
to her bed for nearly two months,
entailing a large expense to Mr.
Daron, as he was compelled to hire s
man to conduct his business while
he waited upon his wife, and billi
for drugs and medical attendancs
amounted to considerable sum. /
Is to be hoped that Mr.. Daron viii
be enabled to get the matter settleC
and again engage in business.
This is the second time the Tuttl'
Mercantile company are said to hav'
done this thing in Weiser, and it i
certainly not contributing any T.
their popularity with our busInes
men and citizens.

it was, the entire Hotel Weiser block
would have been destroyed. The
pump house is not more than 20 feet
from the main building, and is sur
rounded with wood and rubbish of a
very infammable nature, that if once
afre would be hard to conquer.
Not fireman appeared on the
scene. An alarm was sounded by
the whistle al the power house, but
awakened no one. What is needed
is large siren whistle, that can be
heard all over the city. Some per
sons heard the whistle, but thought
it was locomotive.
The fire bell was not rang at all.
Had 1t been rung, the firemen would
have heard it and responded. 1t was
a narrow escape from serious con-
fsgration, and some steps should
be taken to provide an alarm that
can be heard.

mine, the best developed property in
the camp. 1t is said the bond is
