A Notable Trust Decision,

The decision of the United States
court of appeals at Cincinnati, prevent
ing the Continental Wall Paper com
pany as a conspiracy in restraint OF
trade, from recovering on a large claim
of debt from one of its customers when
1t is based on no new principle of law,
is at this juncture an adjudication of
far-reaching import, because it lays IL
legal combinations wide open to at
tack on their most vulnerable side.
The full record of the case will be nee
essary for ascertainment of the precise
technical effect of the decision, but the
abstract in the press reports discloses
the fundamental point that the equity
power of courts in all its amplitude can
be interposed as bar in the operation
Of trade conspiracies at the most vital
point of contact in business. If illegal
combinations of trusts cannot collect
at law claims for debt in the ordinary
course of business which when untaint-
ed with conspiracy against trade are
legal and enforceable, they are practic-
ally at the mercy of every individual,
firm or corporation with which they
deal.
The equity resources of the courts
thus become a reinforcement and a sup
plement to all those penal sanctions
with which legislation has been arm
ing public authority. The latter in
deed are of vital importance, but hard
ly more for their direct and specific
results than for their influence in con-
centrating and stimulating public SEN
timent which counts as well as legis-
lators and executive officers respect,
to an extent emboldening individuals
to bestir themselves against invasion of
their rights. Therefore, as this process
progresses trade conspiracies will be
antagonized by the full power of the
people exerted under the spur of indi-
yidual interest at every point of the
compass, instead of the comparatively
few points that organize public prose
cution ordinarily strikes.
The fact that trade conspiracy has
not been thus attacked in its modern
obnoxious forms is in large part due
to their very modernity, and not so
much as lack of remedies under the
common and statutory law. 1t has
taken time to arouse the public to
the changes in industrial and CONNER
cial methods and abuses during the

manufacturing the lobster patty, 50

seem to defy even the most ingenious

the artful chef has overcome apparently

not always quite what they are said

A common crustacean is boiled and the
meat carefully chopped off and put into
mortar, while afterward part of the
shell is added. The mixture is then
vigorously pounded as fine as possible,
and on the addition of favoring it
would tax the powers of the most
critical connoisseur to detect any diff

ACCIDENTAL DEATH
IN MYSTERIOUS WAY
Young Man Whose Identity is Un-
known, Killed in a Bisbee Mine.

One of the >saddest accidents in the
history OF Bisbee. was that which hap
pened Tuesday evening when a young
man whose name could not be ascer-
tanned up to the time of going to
press. lost his life while working his
first shift at the Lowell shaft of the
Copper Queen company. says the Re-
view.
Just how the accident occurred no
one can tell. the first knowledge OF its
happening having come to several men
who were on the surface when the car
carrying the young mans dead body
arrived at the top. AS soon as the
body was noticed an examination was
made and ii was found that the man
was dead.
Coroner Hogan was notified at once.
and he proceeded to the scene of the
accident and empaneled a jury on the
ground. The jury viewed the remains
and the inquest will be held in the
justice court at Lowell at l o'clock this
afternoon. The body was later placed
in charge of the International Under
taking company.
a survey. of the body disclosed the
fact that the man must have sustained
very heavy blow directly over the
heart, which probably was fatal. as the
skin in that region bore traces of hav-
ing been crushed. The right leg was
broken inseveral different places. the
bone literally being splintered. There
was a deep cash over the left eye, and
marks OF a blow on the right shoulder.
The man was evidently about 2s
years of age, has chestnut colored.
curly hair. gray eyes. is about five feet
ten inches in height. and weighs about
175 pounds.
The accident happened about :
o'clock last evening, just an hour after
the men had gone on shift. 1t was
stated last night that quite number
of new men were put TO work at the
shaft, and that the timekeeper had not
received his report. so that the record
had not yet been made showing the
deceased's name.

THE MARRIAGE OF KITTY"

The two scenes of the sparkling COM
edy, THE Marriage of Kitty" to be
produced at the Doris on Christmas
afternoon and evening by Mr.. Jules
hurry OF New York. are laid in the
chambers of London barrister and in
the villa of the heroine on the lake of
Geneva. There is nothing startling in
either the stage setting or in the "at-
mosphere" which surrounds the play.
In the first scene the plan is Matched,
and. in the second, carried out to its
delightful conclusion. John Travers. a
solicitor and Godfather to Kitty. is
beset by the woes of both his ward and
his friend Sir Reginald Belsize. Kitty
is penniless and has come up to Lon
don to get married, and Sir Reginald is
suffering from the injustice of his
uncle's WILL by the terms of which he
must marry before the first OF Septem-
Der and, also, marry someone who is
not "a Peruvian widow" His wise
father knew that the only lady he
would marry was Peruvian widow.

terms of the will. thinking to undo the
mischief after il is done by another
subterfuge as clever as the first. The
conclusion is as delightfully."- humorous
as anything seen on the stage this
decade. Miss Florence Gear so infuses
her own personality into the character
of the wife of convenience" vitalizes

charges it with her own radiant beauty

WOUNDlNG THE FIRE.
Superstition That Obtains in America
and Asia.

4 curious modern attempt to ration
alize one of the oldest of superstitions
is to be found in KipIing's "Life's Han
dicap." There Mulvancy checks the
author from stirring the fire with Or
theris' bayonet. on the ground that fire
takes the heart out of the steel. The
real reason is much more mysterious
II was one of the maxims of Pytha-
goras mot to stir the fire with a
sword" and to this day the wandering
tribes of North America and Northeast
Asia hold it a sin to take up a burning
ember for a pipe light with the poin;
of knife. The explanation is un-
doubleday given by Johannes de Plano
Carpini, when he tells us that one OF
the Tartar superstitions concerns
sticking a knife into the fire. or in any
way touching the fire with knife. or
even taking meat out of the ket-
tie with knife. or cutting near the
fire with an AK: for they believe that
so the head of the fire would be cut
Off"
This is evidently connected with
the ancient idea that fire Is a living
creature. a sacred animal, which must
not be wounded by it's human owners,
in case it should be annoyed and de-
prive them of its valuable services. Is
this in any degree more irrational than
the belief still existent among house,
keepers that a(feeble fire can be made
to burn up by laying the poker across
IL. or that the sunbeams falling on a
fire tend 10 put It out?
