Mrs. Elliott Talks Too.

HUNTINGTON, Pa, Dec. 31.-"Who
is Dr. Irvine, that he should cast bru-
tai insinuations at me?" Indignantly
asked Mrs. Emma d. Elliott, of this
place, addressing an interviewer at her
home here. Then she proceeded as
follows to tell what would happen if
she had a real defender by saying:
If my father, General Robert
Desna, were alive, he would horsewhip
the man who has stopped to insult a
defenseless woman and to couple her
name with that of dignitary of the
church he should love and respect, not
hold up to the gaze of a curious public,
ever willing to believe the worst, es-
pecially if there is. woman in the
case
Poor Bishop Talbot how annoyed
he must be. He is a good. honorable
man and it is perfectly ridiculous that
his name should be coupled with mine
in order to do us both injustice Why
l am grandmother and l have three
grown-up sons. Is it not perfectly
absurd?
Yes, Bishop Talbot is friend of
ours, and a dear, good, true one. He
was the best friend Dr. Irvine had un-
til Dr.. Irvine became so nasty that
even a saint could not endure him.
DR. Irvine is a tricky, dangerous man.
and l confess that l am afraid of him. :"
Concerning her earlier marriage,
Mrs. Elliott added: Il see they say
I was married to James Anderson on
the European plan. First it was
James Alexander, and now it is James
Anderson. I want to say that never
knew a man by either name, and sure
ly did not marry them. 1 do not know
what they mean by marriage on the
European PLAN

NEW YORK. Dec. 31.-The Ham

on board DR.. Chadwick and his daugh-
ter May, was sighted off Fire island

Barry of Cleveland, boarded a reve-
nue. cutter and met the Pretoria at

by newspaper man seated in his

that he was under indictment in Ohio.
He said: Il know nothing about it,"
He then shut himself i'm his state room

not technically placed under arrest by

daughter to the Meyers hotel in Ho-
boken, n. j., where he consented to

SUPREME COURT DECIDES TAX.
PAYERS CANNOT ATTACK
SCHOOL BOOK CONTRACTS.
Directors May Only Add Studies That
Do Not Interfere With
Uniform Course.

OLYMPIA, Dec. 31.-Seven cases
arising out of alleged infringements of
the contracts awarded by the state
board of education in 1900, for the
supplying of a uniform system of text
books to the school districts of the
state, have been decided by the su-
preme court.
All the actions originated in Thurs
Olympia school district adopted a sup
Elemental course of study and selected
in addition to the books prescribed in
the state course of study a number of
books for use in addition thereto, and
in some instances replaced the con-
tract books with others. -
The contracts that had been entered
into with various publishers were for
the period beginning September 1.
1900, and extending for five years.
These publishers brought separate
actions to enjoin the Olympia district
from departing from the prescribed
course of study, alleging that such acts
impaired the profits arising from their
contract with the state.
District Alleged Fraud.
In the lower court the district at
tackled the validity of the publishers
contract on the alleged ground that 1t
had been secured through fraud. The
district, lost in this particular. the
lower court holding that it had no
power to attack the contract.
The district then induced a number
of taxpayers to intervene and attack
the contracts on the same ground, but
the petitions of the intervenors We're
denied on the ground that their inter-
ests were not such as entitled them
TO maintain an action of that charac-
ter. The effect of the decision was
that the state was the only party
that could attack the validity of the
contract.
The district. however. set up an af-

contracts between the state and the
publishers had not been impaired by
the adoption of supplemental course

Advertising Chat

Persistence in doing a wrong
thing never brought success and
never will. Every merchant rec
, ogniZes the fact that some
method of advertising is neces-
) sary. The purpose of advertise
ing is to sell goods and make
money, and the form of publici-
ty that doesn't do that is useless.
A survey of the field shows that
those who have been most sue
; cessful in business have become
so by advertising in the news
papers which reach the class Of
people to whom the goods ap-
} peal. The Evening Statesman,
, delivered daily into the majority
of the homes of Walla Walla and

Validity Not Passed Upon.

The other three opinions were on
the Intervention of taxpayers, and the
lower courts Judgment in dismissing
them is affirmed.
While the decisions uphold the con-
tracts entered into with the publish
ers by the state board, their validity
in a true sense, is not passed upon.
In two of the cases actions for dam
ages would probably lie against the
district, but it is believed the pub
fishers will be content to let the mat
ter rest. Neither side gains signal
victory, the gist of the opinions being
that the district of taxpayers cannot
attack the validity of the contracts,
and that the directors of the district
have the power to fix course of study
to the extent that the course of study
does not interfere with existing obli-
cations entered into by the state in
behalf of the district.
