The esteemed Herald has recently
devoted much space to discussing the
chimerical proposition of the munich
pality purchasing the Electric Light
and Railway companys plant and
operating the system. In view of the
fact that the recent bond issues takes
the city to the extreme limit of in
debtedness which it can legally incur
and that in order for the city to be
able to raise money to buy out the
Electric Light and Railway company
the assessed valuation of taxable
property in the municipality would
have to be about doubled, the dis
cussions seems the acme of foolish
ness.

Within the past Two weeks, two aw-
full calamities, one in New York City
and one in Brockton, Mass. have oc.
Cured. The loss of lie In both was
terrific. Men, women and innocent
children persisted in sight of those who
would have rescued them if they
could and numerous instances of
death and suffering of an extremely
pitiful nature were recorded by the
press. In both cases those who per-
ished in horrible way were nothing
but the victims of the cupi1ity of
mankind. The New York fire was in
a crowded east side tenement with
no facilities for escape IN the hour of
disaster, and the shoe factory in
Brockton appears to have been a fire
trap, without any means of escape for
those employed in time of danger.
1t is indeed strange that men will
permit conditions to exist that daily

ODD-FELLoWS LOSE SUIT.

The supreme court Of this state
last Monday handed down a decision
that has been awaited by the members
of tile l. o. o. F., for some time and
for which members of other fraternal
and benevolent societies have also
been watching. 1t was in the suit of
Louisa Pearson VS.. T. Anderburg ct
al, the latter constituting the mem
bership of Sandy Lodge No. II.
Mrs. Pearson is the widow of and ad-
ministratrix of the estate of Martin
Pearson, deceased.
Pearson became a MEMBER of San.
dy Lodge in 1885, and, as claimed by
the plaintiff, continued a member up
to the time of his death in 1901. The
action was brought TO secure a judg-
ment for sick benefits and funeral
benefits, alleged to De due and un.
paid The case was tried in the low
er court, without a jury, and judy
ment was rendered in favor of the
plaintiff. From the judgment of the
court defendants appealeu.
Although there are many points in
volved in the matter, the principal
one, and the vital one; the point upon
which the entire matter hinged, was
whether at the time or his death
Pearson was a member in good stand
ing or not. The testimony taken in
the lower court included the intro
duction of the laws of the order as
promulgated by the Sovereign Grand
Lodge, among the several provisions
being one to the effect that a member
one year in arrears for dues is liable
to suspension; another that any mem
Der being over thirteen weeks in ar
rears for dues forfelts all rights to
sick benefits or funeral dement's.
On this point the lower court de-
cided the case in favor of the plaintiff
alleging that the weight of the evil
dence tended to show that Pearson
was in good standing. The supreme
court affirms this and judgment is to
be enforced.
Quoting from the opinion, we repro.
duce one point regarded by the court
as salient and having to do with the
question in such manner as to in
terest not alone Odd Fellows, but 9TH
Oi NoiuuIuIy dSSOCldUlOnS, JonQlng to
interest secretaries especially, as we
infer from what has been testified
to that the secretary OF the louge was
not as vigilant as he might have been.
The opinion reads:
"A further observation can here al
so be made. The court found that in
1897 the deceased was afflicted with
a mental disease disqualifying him
from following his avocation and earn
ing a livelihood and so more or les 8

UNIONISTS TO FIGHT.
Foreign Politics Urged as Reason for
Retention of Control.

London, May 11.-Premier Balfour's continued
delay in replying 10 Joseph Chamberlains pro-
pOsaI for a compromise on the question Of fiscal
policy is believed to be due TO the fact that Mr..
Balfour finds himself unable TO accept the pro-
posals. Apparently. also. the Ministers have
no idea of being forced 10 dissolve Parliament by
the tactics of Mr.. Chamberlain's adherents, and
a new reason has been discovered and is being
carefully propagated among unofficial Union1sts
for keeping Mr.. Balfour in power. 1t is urged
that the critical position of foreign politics alb
soutely forbids the handing over OF the reins
of government to the Liberals The neutrality
and other problems arising out Of the Far East
ern struggle, the Moroccan difficulty and the
troubles in Crete and Macedonia, are pointed
out as debating that there should be no break
in the continuity of British foreign policy.
AT informal conference OF IntonIsts IN the
House of Commons last night the matter was
discussed and il was resolved 70 send deputa-
ton TO Premier Balfour and Lord Lansdowne
urging them to see the crisis through Though
ostenslbIy a spontaneous movement from The
rank and file of the party. this new turn in the
political Kaleidoscope undoubtedly has been IN
sp!red from above in order 10 checkmate Mr..
Chamberlain who has recovered his health and
has resumed his public campaign by letters and
speeches in favor Of immediate dissolution and
Of his protective policy

THE ZEMSTTOS UNITED.
Il Permanent Organi@ation-The
Course of action.

Moscow. May 1O.--The zemstv0 congress-
which closed tonight, after approving the
project of an assembly of two houses, proba oily
was the precursor of another congress next fan
the delegates having informally decided to as
semble at that time. They have elected per-
manent bureau of twenty men TO carry on the
work Of the congress in the mean time. 1t has
also been determined to lay all the resolutions
OF the congress directly before the provincial
zemstvos for ratification. and for this purpose
TO summon special sessions of all the zemstvos
in the autumn
significant feature of the election of the
permanent bureau was the failure to name as
one of the number NJ. Shipoff, the leader Of
the moderate wing of the congress, all the other
members Of the provincial committee Of the
December congress being reelected.
The congress also decided that il was impos-
sible foI members Of zemstvos or doumas to
take part in the work of district commissions
appointed to arrange for the reimbursement of
losses caused by peasant disorders since the
organization of these commissions and their
mode of investigation were founded on complete
remuneration Of ordinary legal procedure.
The congress further opposed participation by
zemstvo members in the multitudinOus govern
ment commissions. holding that the effect of
these was to retard instead of hasten the work
Of reform, and favOring participation in the
Bouligan commission only if the popular rep
resentauves were elected instead of invited. and

the transports away in the rear were not ex-
ecuted promptly, and when the final order was
given to retreat the roads assigned to the vari-
Gus divisions were not taken, causing much con-
fusion.

TzUo Cruisers Sail A7cay IN Response
to French Request.

Saigon. May 1O-The Russian cruiser Jemt-
chug and the Russian auxiliary cruiser Rion.
belonging TO Admiral Rojestvenskys squadron,
arrived off Cape ST. James, near here, on the
night OF May s and left there yesterday morn
ing on the invitation of the Governor Of French
Indo-China.
These cruisers brought instructions for Rear
Admiral Nebogatoff and anchored three or four
miles off shore. a heavy was running, ex-
posing good deal Of the warships' hulls, which
were free from barnacles or seaweed. The ships
appeared TO have unusually large crews
The main Russian squadron is said to be
well provisioned, but to be short of tobacco
1t is considered likely here that Nebogatoff's
division has already passed Cape st. James.
The Russian hospital ship Kostroma will leave
here on May 10.
The Jemtchug's presence near Saigon disposes
of a rumor sent from st. Petersburg by way of
London that this cruiser and the Almaz had
reached Vladivostok.
