in the book. were to be found at the
Hall and not at the Rectory. How
ever, that is the license of the novel
list, and was often Dickens way. ON
the other hand, there are other and
weightier reasons for believing that
the Rectory was the house Dickens
had in view when making the "Rooll-
cry" the birthplace of David. AS a
matter of fact, the Hall can have no

and after strolling with them he re-
turned home. Looking back" he
says, "as l turned into the front gar
den. I saw Mr.. Murdstone leaning
against the wicket of the churchyard
and Mr.. Quinion talking with him"
This would not be possible from the
Hall, but If any one will take up a
similar position at the wicket gate,
the Rectory will be seen, and one will
recognize how particular Dickens was
as to his minute geographical details.
Another point in favor of the Rectory
being the 'Rookery" will be found in
the hedge of the front garden. whic q
divided Mr.. Murdstone on his horse
in the roadway from David's mother
in the garden. when they walked up
and down conversing. Then, again,
take that delightful little incident of
Peggotty's, when David was packed
off in Mr.. Barkis' cart on his way to
school. David and the carrier had
gone some little distance when Peg
gotty burst from hedge and climbed
into the cart and presented David
with bags of cakes and a purse con-
tanning three bright shillings which
she had evidently polished up with
whitening" Dickens had studied the
geography of the village so well as to
make this little incident possible.
The cart would have to travel the
road on two sides of the field adjoin-
ing the Rectory, and Peggotty would
have just had time to reach the Sec
ond corner by taking a diagonal run
across the field, which no doubt she
did. This would not be possible IL. re-

Columbus, o., June 10.-A sensation
was created in the United States court
by Judge VANITY rebuking former At

remarks regarding the beef trust and
corporations in general, while making
an argument before the jury in the case
Of Wilfred Walker, who sued the Bal

Monnett said he wished to call at

offered by Walker ought to be taken.

case.
Judge VANITY, in his explanations to
the jury, told them the jury is to de-

and not by prejudice against corpo-

cause of the remarks of the prose-
cution regarding the beef trust and

Fighting WIN Cease.

Washington, June 10.-Oficials in
Washington, who have been closely
watching the negotiations conducted
by the president to bring about peace
between Japan and Russia, expect that
the next move will be a request for an
armistice as it is not thought that hos
tilities will continue after pIenipoten-
tiaries are named to arrange peace
terms. While there are precedents for
the continuation of hostilities even
after a. peace conference has begun it
would be unusual, and the belief is
expressed that both Japan and Russia.
had already desisted from further ag-
gressive movements even before the sug-
gestion of the president was accepted.
1t is thought here that the United
States government will be the medium
of communication until some diplo-
matte channel is established between
the belligerent nations.

of SIS. 900.

New York, June 1O.-Where the
Plaza hotel now stands at Fifty-ninth
street and Fifth avenue overlooking
the southern end of Central park it
has been planned to erect within the
next year a hotel which will rival any
similar structure in the world. Fiji
teen stories high and having nearly
1000 rooms it Will be built at a cost of
about S15,0OO.000. The projectors
expect to have their hosiery ready for
business a year from next autumn. It
was at first planned merely to re-
model the structure as it stands today
and to erect an addition at a cost of
about $2,000,000, but the men who are
to manage the. hotel have prevailed on
the owners of the property to rae the
whole building.
In every respect it is planned to
have the new hotel a model. It's ball
rooms and cafes will be modelled after
the famous hotels of Europe, the en-
tire inner court being taken up with
one large dining room, other smaller
dining rooms extending along the side.
The old plaza viii be closed tonight
and many families who have resided
there a score of years will be COM
PEELED to seek new quarters. When
the furnishings have been auctioned
off the building will be demolished.

WINS FIRST ROUND.
Standard Loses Preliminary Contest in
Supreme Court.

First blood in the case of the State
of Kansas VS.. the Standard Oil com
pany was won in the supreme court
this morning by the state. The jus
tees decided that the motion of the
Standard Oil company attorneys to
make the petition of the state more
definite and certain should be over
ruled.
This is the case in which the state is
trying to GUST the Standard from do
ing business on the ground that it is a
trust The allegations which are set
up by the state in its petition are of a
general nature, and the attorneys for
the Standard, Stanley, Vermillion &
Evans of Wichita. wanted the charges
made specific, and the exact circum-
stances given, including names and
dates, upon which the Standard had
"conspired.'' The answer of the state
was that the circumstances are such
that the information is the particular
possession of the defendant company,
and that the state need not set the
charges forth in detail.
The case will now come up for
argument on it's merits, and will prob
ably be ready for decision by the end
of the summer.

The smallest of GebePs troubles is his
arrest. The largest at present is a
beautiful black eye which was delivered
free of cost by James Chappelle, pro-
prietor of the hotel. Last evening there
seemed to be nothing doing in the way
of dinner. The chef had disappeared,
and was invisible to the naked eye. Mr..
ChappelIe started out on a still hunt
and freed the F'renchman in the base
ment, where he was tapping up a cold
quart, and so deeply absorbed in the
performance and others which had pre-
ceded it, that he had overlooked the
Dime. proposition. Hot words were
shed. and when the Frenchman talked
back he received a souvenir of the oe-
casion. Monsieur Gebel took his lame
eve and wandered down the street with
it. where he was arrested by Officer
Bundy. He was fined IS in police court

Sells Richfeld Springs Property at a
Vast Loss.

New York, June 10.-The last string
which held Richard Croker. ex-boss Of
Tammany Hail, to the American turf
has been severed. This was the sale of
his stock farm at Richfleld SPRINGS
contracts for which already have been
signed Croker, experts say, loses near
~ $200.0 600 on the deal and forever fore
goes his ambition to establish a racing
center similar to Saratoga.
In return for the farm the ex-boss
gets a six story building on White
street, New York. J. T. and J. A. Far
ley gave the property for the farm and
VIII resell the latter as soon as posi-
bic.
In 1880 Croker first conceived the idea
OF entering into the racing game on a
large scale. The purchase of the Rich
deld Springs place for 500, 600 followed.
Associated with him was ex-senator
Murphy. Great improvements We're
made as soon as the land was secured,
and more than 5000, 600 spent.
A half mile track was constructed. A
dne house and extensive stables were
built. An inclosed training track for
use in wet weather was made and plans
drawn for q gorgeous club house and
the most extensive racing plant I'D to
that time ever. thought Of.
