TEE BONTHRON CASE SETTLED
t Had Been Before the Court Nearly
 Three Years.

The damage suit of James Bonthron against the Phoenix Light and Fuel company was dismissed in district court yesterday on the motion of the plaintiff, at the plaintiffs cost. Three years ago, James D Bonthron, d young man, who had come here from Canada on account of his health. was Killed in q very curious manner. It was during a carnival. ard g show was in p-og- ress at the corner of Third avenue and Washington street.
 Bonthrcn and others crossed the street and. in stepping upon the pave ment, he passed u1Gcr and touched guy wire used for the support O. an electric light pole. The wie was not supposed to be connected in any way With the current, but it was learned later that the current leak-I and had run into this wire. At any rate, Bon thron was instantly killed.
 His parents being aliens, an admin istrator of his estate was appointed and suit was begun against the elec-
 tric light company for damages in the sum of S5,O00 This suit was finally dismissed, and the action was begun anew, with his father. James Bonth- ron, and his mother as plaintiffs. IL was contended on the part of the de- fense that. being aliens, they could nos maintain ar action of th.s kind The | case finally reached the supreme court of the territory and Chief Justice Kent deciCed that they could sue.

never been passed upon by any ru- preme court in this country It had been held in several lower courts that aliens could not be plaintiffs in suits for damages.
 The opinion of Chief Justice Kent was therefore the only authoritative one ever delivered. It has since been quoted extensively in other actions Of the same character which have arisen in different Farts of the country.
 The dismissal of the case is the re- suit of a satisfactory settlement made n few days ago. The natu Of the settlement has not been made public.

Doctor PierCe's FavOrite Prescription stands alone, as the one and only remedy for leucorrhea, female weakness, pro- lapsus, or falling of the womb, so abso- lutely specific and sure in curing these common ailments of women, as to war rant it's makers in offering to pay, Gs they hereby do, the sum of $500 reward for a case of the above msladies which they can not cure. This Is a remarkable offer. No other medicine for the cure Of woman's peculiar ailments is backed by such a remarkable guarantee. No other medicine for wOmau's ills is pos sessed of the unparalleled curative pro peTties that would warrant it's makers in publishing such an offer; no other ren- edy has such a record of a third Of a century of cures on which to base such 8 remarkable offer.

Justice Joseph A. Breaux OF
the 18th ult., assumed, for the
first time, his position on the bench
of the Supreme Court of Louisiana
as Chief Justice to which place he
is promoted, as senior jnstice, by
the provisions of the Constitution
of the State.
If long service, hard work and
great legal knowledge entities a
judge to this the highest judicial
honor in Louisiana, Justice Breaux
was entitled to it. He has been
most attentive, thorough in his
consideration of the questions co.
ming before him, careful in the
study of the cases allotted him,
skilled in the law, and an able and
powerful "civilisn." His long ser
vice on the bench has brought be-
fore him nearly every feature of
the civil law and he has ruled on
most of them. The provision of
the Louisiana Constitution which
provides for rotation in the Of
fee of Chief Justice is a most ex-
traordinary one, not prevailing,
as far we know, in any other State
The fact that it has honored
Judge Breaux with the Chief JUS
ticeship is point in its favor.
