A certain music hall belle, who
had just successfully landed an old
and wealthy nobleman, sued an un.
popular theatre manager in London,
alleging that he had not paid her suf-
ficiently well for her engagement at
his place. She won the case, and
was Immediately inundated with flow.
cry congratulations from her friends.
all of whom were glad to see the
manager 60 down.
Not content with her victory, how
ever, the belle must needs crow over
her beaten rival by packing up the
choicest kilograms and despatching
them to his house. with the intimation
that he might make what use Of them
he thought proper.
She regretted this last concession
the next morning. Taking her at bel
word, the manager pasted the tele
grams on q board outside the music
hall. headed them What Miss Flight

Ohio Mayor Willing to Break Few
|, Laws to Defeat the Coal Trust.
While the price Of coal was soaring
during the dead of last winter Mayor
Bel!meyer Of Bellevue, Ohio, took
vigorous methods to relieve the situa-
tion. With the consent Of the coun.
ellis he had a riot call sounded on the
fire bell.
There was an immediate response
Of citizens. From these a brigade Of
shovelers was organized and marched
to the railroad. Six car loads Of
coal, lying on the tracks, were ordered
confiscated by the mayor. The needy
people were then relieved by the
coal distribution, which was made in
ton lots.
This action naturally brought re-
monstrances from certain sensitive
citizens, but remained unheeded by
the determined mayor.
1T is wrong, sir, entirely wrong, to
thus take the law into your own
hands, said remonstrant.
But have a biblical example for
my action" protested Billmeyer.
What! for stealing coal?"
mo; for taking the law in my own
hands," sail the mayor. You recollect
that when Moses came down the
mounta,n hs smashed the ten com.
mandments on seeing the people kneel
before TIA golden calf. Well, sir. the
coal barons may worship the golden
calf, but III smash few laws while
they are doing 1t"

Upon the recommendation of Commits

lions that the latter draft bill to cover
the suggestions of the major and superin-
tendent of police.
Among other things Major Sylvester said
that the present law relating to the sale
and use of dangerous weapons is considered
as a very good one, and ample In its pro-
visions unless some provision could be
made whereby the manufacturer would be
required to stamp the firm name and serial
number in weapons of all kinds. 1t was
also suggested that new law might be
drafted providing against sales to persons
of unsound mind or intoxicated. Such
regulation, however, the major suggests
would probably be difficult of enforcement,
as the authorities would have to prove that
the dealer knew the purchaser to be of
unsound mind under the influence of
liquor at the time the purchase was made.
Major Sylvester called attention to sew

Commissioners heretofore, which We're call
dangerous weapons Among other things
he mentions that he suggested a more Sc

be restricted to persons of lawful age

Judge Chambers Says Problem in

time chief justice of Samoa, and. conse-

from one thoroughly familiar with his sub

United States first departed from its then
unbroken policy of being opposed to expan-

merchantmen first conceived the idea of
having transferred to the United States the
title to the islands. This sailor. he said,
had made treaty with the ruling Samoan
chieftain by which paramount rights were
granted this country for the free use and
occupancy of Pago-Pago a naval station.
This treaty. said Judge Chambers. was
never ratified by the United States Senate,
although it was communicated by President
Grant with all the formalty and red tape
usually attending treaties with the great
nations of the world. From the date OF
this first agreement down to the present
agreement effected by England. Germany
and the United States, when the islands
were divided between Germany and this
