 House on Land and Taxed Whelan.


 Judge Cowell in the district court this morning made most unusual statement. A motion for Judgment of foreclosure and law day day in the suit of the city against Maurice F. Whelan ct al was before Judge Peas ley.

The amount of the debt was $2O.So. Judge Cowell stated that he sold the property about twelve years ago to the defendants father, and that it consisted of two lots and the assessors put 1t on the tax list for 600.
 There was no house on the land, y said Judge Cowell, "but the assessors at the time said there ought to be a house and taxed Whelan for what he never ahad, house on this property" Jadgment was granted. N'
 Judgment for foreclosure was grant ed Albert Schumaker against Frank Summer ct al for $1,637.50.
 The suit of the New England Brew ing company against Patrick Keough of Lafayette street was opened. In September Judgment for $389 was given the company against Keough, who testified as though Attorney Root had broken confidence with him. He said that he had no lawyer in the transaction and that he depended up- on Attorney Roots word that before the matter would be taken to, court he would notify him. The day after Judgment was given against he heard from Attorney Root. He also stated that he did not owe the bill, that it was owed by some other man who was doing business on his premises before he took them himself. He de- nied saying to Attorney Root that he would pay the bill by raising q mortgage on the property.
 Attorney Root went on the stand and contradlcted every word said by Keough. The case was reopened nevertheless, on payments of costs. 1 Attorney Kennedy represented Ke- 1 Ough. ma.

The race was not announced as a
contest between yegetarians and meat

entered Like others, they trained. On
the day Of the race their sole diet was
pea butter For week they reduced
their ordinary vegetarian diet to Sim

raw fruit Before setting out in the
race they informed the astonished meat
fed Englishmen, who were supposed to
be the best men IN the contest, that
they were vegetarians. had eaten no
meat for years and intended TO prove
the superiority of their diet
They did ii. As they gllded through

consciousness that they were vindicat-

naman. THE dowager empress has
too much authority and we would like
to have her deprived of much of the
power she now exercises
That the members OF the Bow Wong
Woy are in earnest Is shown by tile
fact that they have decided to mark
their dlsapproyal Of one of China's an
Client customs by having their cues cut
of. The Chinese BARRIERS in Washing
ton have been doing a lively business
in removing cues from their country
men and trimming their hair after the
American fashion.
