THE CIRCULATORS,

The session of the Southern Associa-
ton of Newspaper Circulators, held at
the court house yesterday and today was
as pleasant a gathering as was ever had
in this city. The circulators were well
coined in speech by Hon. E. H. Ran
dolpl1, which was humorous and filled
with good fellowship. 1t was appre-
ciated as it should have been, with hearty
applause Last night the circ,1lators
were entertained at the opera house, as
the guests of the Progressive League, at
the Malek recital. and later at the Caddo
Club where Herr Malek. Miss Prescott
and Mr.. Kramer were the hosts, being
assisted BY members of the club. 1t was
delightful affair. The programme for
the afternoon is trolley ride and visit
to the Anheuser- Busch plant where the
delegates will be entertained to Ger
man lunch, by Frank Pugh.

Syllabus: l. After joinler Of issue by
judgment, by default and exception 10
the jurisdiction of the courts rationae
personae, comes too late.
2. An action brought by sesident of
Mississippi, in the district court for the
parish of Caddo, against railway COM
pany, whose agent for the acceptance of
service is donncled in New Orleans,
and against another defendant, donl-
clel in Ohio, to annul contract to
which the plaintiff is neither party nor
privy, whereby the company has agreed
to establish a depot on the land of the
other defendant. lying contiguous to
that of the plaintiff in the parish of Red
River, in consideration of the grant of
a portion of such land for right of way
and other purposes) on the ground that
the contract is illegal, is a personal ac-
tion not in the nature of a proceeding
in rem
;. The mere fact that in an action
against two defendants, domiclel be
yond the territorial jurisdiction of the
court of first instance, jurisdiction is ac
quired as to one, does not of itself au-
thorize tie bringing of the other into
court by the appointment and citation of
? curator ad hoe, even though the ap-
Dearance of such other defendant is
necessary in order to enable the parties
already in court. or either of them, to
obtain Judgment upon the issues offered
for decision.
1t is therefore ordered, adjudged and
decreed that the Judgment appealed
from be annr!led, avoided and reversed
that the exception fled on behalf of the
executors of J. D. Lehmer be main
tanned. and that for lack of jurisdiction
and want of proper parties this suit be
dismissed, the plaintiff to pay the costs
in both courts.
