A glimpse of the fight on the Gentle

and rises against its captors, will show
how capable Mr.. Hains is to handle his
material. The fight is the last stand of
three men and a girl, daughter of one of
the slave traders below deck in mar:
row passage where but one or two Of the
Africans can reach them at one time:
Then the black bodies crowded in. Jones on
one side and myself on the other, fell upon
them With our cutlasses, and the first three
lay :groan1ng and blocking the way. Hicks
crouched down behind the pile of topsail and
rested his musket, with its muzzle about three
feet from the opening, but held his fire. He
would wait until .one Of us had failed to stop
our men. 49,.
One huge negro with woolly beard on his
black chin pulled couple of his fellows back
from the opening and thrust long, muscular
arm inside, holding cutlass. He swung it
with marvellous quickness and parried my stroke,
giving me bad cut in return. But Jones
reached him with a short=arm thrust, and before
he could recover had him out Of action. He
was jerked back before could get hold Of
his weapon, and others took his place.
Another rush, and then another, and Jones

POLITICAL CLUBS.
Plaintiff is member in good stand-

young men affiliated with the republi-

ponding secretary of the club to per-
init him to inspect the list Of members
and make copy thereof at a time and
place convenient for the purpose.
Plaintiff claimed that he wanted the
list so as to institute measures to pro-
mote the objects for which the club
was organized, and to prevent 1t from
being used to further the political am
billions of any member of the club, and
to oppose the election Of incompetent
officials. His request was refused and
he applied to the courts for a man
da1nus. Held that he was entitled to
the list; that this list should. at prop
err times, be open to the inspection Of
all members, thereby affording to each
member an opportunity to aid in car
rying out the object of the organiza-
ton.

SPEED MANAGES AND Law.

New Jersey has enacted law gov
erning the speed of automobiles that
should bring results. The principle the
law recognizes is just one that the
majority method of travel has the best
right to the road and that the most
people have most rights. Exceeding
speed of 60 miles an hour on the high
ways of New Jersey is punishable not
by fine, but by Imprisonment. All VIII
admit that twenty miles an hour on
country highways is as fast as any
person on business is likely to travel.
The New Jersey law is not aimed at
practical use of the motor, but Is IN
tended to prevent those who find
certain pleasure in taking chances on
their own lives from putting others IN
Jeopardy. If properly enforced 1T
means relief from the speed maniac.
The difference between fine and GER
tain Imprisonment Is likely to have
it's effect on the wealthy scorcher
The rub lies in enforcement. Iowa
has an automobile law broken deliber-
ately every day by men whose pos
session of motor car is as dangerous
to public safety as fool with a loaded
rifle. They sail thru the streets and
around corners at twice the speed
limit fixed by law. They are pres
ent danger and one which should re-
ceive the attention of police officers.
Sooner or later each of these law
breakers will claim his victim.
1t is the careless or criminal driver
who is responsible for the strict law
in New Jersey. Given time his lack
of sense and disregard of public
rights will bring other states to in
clude all automobiles in one cate
CORY and legislate against them. 1t
is up to the ordinary auto driver VINO
can enjoy his favorite sport without
disregard of the rights of others to
aid in the suppression of the men who
are bringing the auto into disrepute
and it is also up to the officers of the
law to perk up and pay attention to
the patent violations of the automobile
laws that continually occur The vio-
lators are very small minority among
the chaifeurs and very few examples
would have surprising results.

Complainant had rented room from
defendants sister. He desired TO
change his rooming place and went to
the house of the sister to get ms
trunks and other articles belonging to
him, and she refused to turn them
over until he had paid her the balance
due for room rent. Complainant then
made an effort to get into the room,
which she prevented him from doing.
She then went in search of an officer,
and met defendant, her brother, and
told him what had occurred and that
complainant had abused her. Defen-
dant came to the house, got his pistol
and struck the complainant on the

building was used as restaurant on
