Interesting Supreme Court Decisions.

The State supreme court Mon
day evening handed down q num-
Der of decisions, some Of them be-
ing of considerable interest to the
public.
In the case of the Yazoo e Mis-
sissippi Valley railroad against
the Georgia Home Insurance
Company, the supreme court yes
terday afternoon gave a definition
of what constituted baggage,
holding that articles properly be-
longing to a person, taken for
comfort and convenience of the
passenger, was baggage, but that
articles belonging to company
or corporation for the use Of an
other was not properly baggage,
and the railroad was not liable for
loss Of same. In this case tbe
agent Of the Southern Home In
surance Company at Natchez
checked trunk to Baton Rouge.
When he arrived the trunk had
not made its appearance. In this
trunk we're a lot of papers, with
tout which the business Of the COM
pany could not be transacted, and
because the agent was unable to
transact business through the loss
.of these papers packed in the
trunk, the insurance. company
brought suit for large sum
against the railroad. The SUI
preme court held that these pa
pers were not baggage, and the
road was not liable.
In the case of the IndianoIa
Light Company against II. Nj.
Montgomery, the court held that
a city after opening road did
not have to make Immediate use
Of this road to hold its title to the
highway, but could leave the road
unused until the growth Of the
town demanded that it be travel

was the same old success, as we
sold twelve Of the Majestic Steel
Ranges In one week that's not
so bad and we have many. good
prospects for more sales.
Remember the Majestic is the
only range on the market with
malleable top that you can't
break, and it will not warp. 1t
has 100 pounds of iron in the fire
box alone, and same is in sections
and any one can replace it. The
sides and oven is made of number
Is boiler steel, riyeted with soft
rivets, the oven is made in sec
tions, not in one piece, and will
not warp out of shape, also the
oven is braced and riveted. No
fancy work on the Majestic, it
is the plain old time Majestic,

der scatter and disappear until the
police abandoned the search for them.
This gang, however, has practically
been exterminated. A dozen or more
have been sentenced to death and an
even larger number to imprisonment
for life, and the remainder have sub
sided and have not been heard from
lately. No case of kidnapping has been
reported this year thus far.
In the southern islands are similar
bands of cattle thieves, robbers and
highwaymen, but they are not as nu-
merous as in the more thickly settled
portions Of the country.
None of these bands is political, al
though they frequently represent
themselves to he "insurrectors,' and
often utter the war cry of Aguinaldo's
army when they raid town. Col. Scott,
chief Of the constabulary, tells me
that altogether the Ladrones can mus
ter about 100 guns; that half Of them
are descendants Of criminals who were
engaged in the same business In Span
ish times, and the remainder are fugi-
tives and adventures who served with
Aguinaldos army, and became so de-
moralized that they have never been
able to settle down to peaceful occupa-

JAPAN's CUSToMEEs.-The United
States is Japan's largest customer.
The value of exports from Japan to
her most important customers In

kong 25,S76,OOO yen; France, 27,2S3,000
yen; China, 46,S3S,O00 yen, and the

United States takes as much Of the
products of Japan as all of Europe and
nearly twice as much as China, ia
pans second largest customer. In i'm
ports the United States stood second
in 1902 and at the end of 1903 was but
s1.227 900 below Great Britain, which
still holds the lead. For 1902, the lat
