promise, but it is Seldom the gentleman
sues the lady when she refuses to carry
out the contract, though she it really is
who does the promising. For one man
TO sue another because his fiancee re-
fuses to marry him would appear to be
quite an illogical step for the disappoint-
ed man to take.
Take, for example, the case of Clar-
ence Manuel, who handed in at q Louis
vile (Ky.) post office a telegram which
was addressed to his sweetheart, Miss
Bryant, inviting her to meet him in
Louisville. The telegrapher altered
Louisville to Nashville, with the result
that Miss Bryant %journeyed to the last
named town to keep the appointment.
The natural result was that the lovers
did not meet, and for Manuel the conse-
quence vas disastrous-Miss Bryant re-
fused to wed him. So the man sued the
t~elegraphist. placing a cash value of
$4,000 upon his lost love. The court.
ruled, however, that he had sued the
wrong party. and Manuel lost his case.
For the loss of her affianced husband
| Signorina Ida de Frate is suing in the
Genoa courts a photographer named
Ricci, and the damages she claims
amount to $4,000. The lady was en-
| gagged to be married. but her husband
to-be refused to wed her because Ricci,
! who took the lady's photograph some
! time since, published 1t as a pictorial
card. Thousands of the cards were sold
In all parts of Italy, and elsewhere on
the continent, Ricci, 1t is said, reaping a
handsome profit. Because of the pub
iicity thus given to the lady, who, it may
be mentioned, is very beautiful, her
f1ance severed their engagement, and
%Signorina Frate consequently COM
menced tt action for damages, But the
photographers contention is that the
photo was published with the lady's con
| sent.

Astronomy In Americn.

The astronomer royal at the annual
dinner of the Society of Engineers said
that the American astronomers really
science. They had gone ahead, he was
sorry to say, even of English astrono-
mers. The progress they had made was
due, as much as to anything else, to the
fact that they had been able to get larger
funds for the construction of their tele-
scopes. AS it advanced the science Of
engineering involved costly works, and,
unfortunately in England, it was very
difficult to get sufficient money to pro-
vide these costly works that were es-
rental to the advancement of science.

The following extract from an ed

"Can it be that Asbury Park is
waiting to have a disastrous fire be-
fore taking np seriously the qnesti IN
of q new fire engine? 1t strikes us
that 1t would be a good plan to place
the order for All engine, so as to hpve
it here before the simmer season." :

still believes that one or more steam
fire engines are essential to the real
safety of the city. The steamers have
not been ordered and the appara tus
which were ordered have not yet been
delivered. To quote from one of Cic-
eros orations: How long, o Cata-

QUEER GRIEVANCES.
Some Singular Suits Ics,ituted for

tions for Procedure in VAR
ious Countries.

Recently the Indian department at
Washington decided that paint and long
hair are not henceforth to be worn by
Indihns on the reservations, an edict
which aroused no little discomfort
among the tanned redskins, who at least
hoped to be allowed to go down to their
graves after the fashion of their savage
forefathers. OF course there was roth
ing for them but to obey, but Aqua His,
a full-blooded savage of the Yuma tribe,
does not intend to let the matter rest
there. He has had his hair cut, but he
is suing the United States government
in the superior court at San D.ego,
Cal, for $4,000 compensation, states the
New York Journal.
1t is doubtful if he will be as success
full as was an Englishman who, some
months ago, got $25 from a Leeds bar
ber. because the artist of the lather brush
cut off the "tyke's" mustache for a joke
while the latter was sleeping under the
influence of the cup that inebriates, in
the BARRIERS chair. The case did not
reach the courts, but was settled be-
tween the PARTIES.
Not long ago a Frenchman took a
train to be present at a family dinner to
which he had been invited; but the train
struggled in late, and so prevented the
hungry man from enjoying the meal, to
which he had no doubt looked forward
to with sweet anticipation. He claimed
damages from the company for the loss
of his dinner, and the Paris tribunal Of
commerce awarded him the substantial
amount of eight dollars as compensa-
ton.
A case where good intentions paved
the way to the Indiana law courts re-
Gently was that of Oyershiner VS.. Hosier.
The cause of the litigation was a unique
enough object, in all truth, being moth
ing more or less than a lost thirst.
George Overshiner was a victim to the
drink habit. Quite unknown to him, his
sister, Mrs. Hosier, determined to at
tempt his reformation. So she secret
1y mixed with his food a preparation
which he ate unsuspectingly, with the
result so desired by his sister. George
wax cured of his craving for alcoholic
liquors, cured apparently against his
will, for when he learned to whom he
owed his loss of thirst he ungratefully
entered a claim against his benefactress
for 5000.

WINE TO THE HOST FIRST.
In America a Mere FormnIity, But in
Italy 1t Is q Rca Ne
cessity.

The wine was opened G~exterously by
the waiter, who wrapped a napkin about
the bottle, and, before serving the
guests, poured a few drops into the hosts
glass, says the Philadelphia Record.
why did this waiter give you a little
wine before helping the rest of us q SAID
a man of curious mind.
"Oh," said the host, that's always
done"
81 know it's always done. That does
not answer my question, though. Here,
waiter" the man persisted, you tell me,
won't you, why, when you open a bottle
of wine, you pour a few drops into the
hosts glass before serving the guests?"
The waiter smiled and answered:
ut is a matter of form, sir-an old
eustom-a p~oliteness. Its origin lies in
the fact that, after the removal of the
cork, there might be left in the neck of
the bottle a little dust or a few specks of
cork. The first drops poured cut would,
in that event, contain the dust or the
cork, and thus the guest, were he served
first, might get this refuse. Hence the
lost is given the first drops. He is de-
termined that, if there is any dirt in the
neck of the bottle, he, and not one of his
guests, will take 1t.
"As a matter of fact, IL you know how
to open wine, you have no difficulty in
keeping the bottles neck clean. The
custom, therefore, is a formality in
America. In Italy, though, 1t is a real
necessity, for it seems that over there
they pour a little oil in the necks of their
bottles of native wine before corkine
on the ground that this makes the wine
alright. No doubt it does, but It also
in some casess gives to the first glass
fromsthe bottle a decidedly oily flavor
Therefore the first glass the host gallant
ly takes"

STEP FORWARD.

The Scovel bill, now in the legisla-
ture, to have all executions done at
the State Prison, is met with favor
from nil parts of the State, with the
exception of Trenton. This is natural
although Trepton's objections are not
we'll founded. If a prisoner is SEN
fenced for life he is taken to Trenton
to serve his term and we hear no OBJ
lection on the part of the people at the
capital. That city is the home of the
State Prison and all the more severe
punishment is served there, then why
not the execution? By centralizing
this form of punishment in this man
ner it is reasonable to suppose that
New Jersey would soon adopt the
electric chair which seems much more
civilized than the old method of hang
ing, ofrwhich there have been so many
bud aing jobs. 1t is as sure rs the sun
sets that the gallows have got to fol-
lowing the ways of the whipping post
and to have all executions done at
one place will tend to bring about this

SAYS LAY OUT LOOKS GOOD 10 HIM
Describes the Louisiana Field as the
"Prettlest Thing an OIL Man
Could Want to See"

ME-. Holland S. Reavls, editor OF
the oil Investors Journal, returned
Yesterday from a visit Of inspection
10 the Jennings oil fields. While Mr.
Reavis is not ultra enthusiasm ABOUT
the new field he is decidedly optimis'
tic. II SAYS the field Is now good
producer and that il will continue
to be n good producer for long time
to come. Its the prettiest thing an
oil man could want 10 see" Is the
manner in which Mr.. Reavis briehy
describes the field.
"The Jennings field" said she oil
editor in conversation with an Enter
prise man, SIS what call a jeauti'
full. legitimate, oil producing terri
tory. II is decidedly unlike any
other field in this section, in that the
property is practically controlled by
one syndnate. A man can't buy n
little plot of ground and put down a
well anywhere and everywhere he
pleases. The property is controlled
by the Haywood boys, and they don I
oppose TO let ii be worked to death.
There are now six flowing wells in
the field. The oil pours out OF them
steadily. no fuss. no gush, nothing
but a quiet. steady stream
1.-THE field is doing about $4,000
barrels day. but ! think it can 40
better. At present understand
some of the wells are being held
down. because there is not tankage
provision for the maximum supply.
Earthen tanks are being constructed
rapidly, however. and | think wltnlh
short time the produce VIII De
greater. When | place the present
OUTPUT at $1,000 | am placing IL
most conservative. Many estimates
place it at much more than that:
"There have been about ninety
wells put down but none are gong
down now except by permission OF
the Haywood boys and in such places
as they designate. 1t is their lnten-
ton to work the field scientifically
and carefully and indiscriminate
drilling will not be permitted. vi
StEe ninety wells now down about
Ithirty-five are pumping. The proven
field extends about three quarters OF
n mile east and west, or rather a
little southeast and northwest. IL
Is nv opinion that the field will prove
the best of all the oil fields in TINS
community.
