rubber trees and their care and pre-

Rubber Company has been organized

the other day.
He was examining the meat in a
small butcher shop on a back street.
The ".sater part of the meat was
fairly good, but there was one lot of
pork and beef that was rather gues.
tionable.
The butcher stood outside with a
customer. The inspector called him
in
Look here" he said, what is your
opinion of this meat here?"
The butcher looked it over.

said. 1T is pretty old stock"

GIVEN A WARNING.
Man Who Supplies Newsboys With
Cards Of "Greeting."

Cards Of directing"
James Searie, printer at 604 F. street
northwest, was defendant in the Juvenile
Court yesterday on a charge Of being re-
sponsible for teaching boys to beg. After
hearing the evidence in the case Judge
DeLacy suspended sentence, Searle prom
isfng to be good. Searle was warned that
q heavy fine would be imposed next time.
The case was the result of an investiga-
ton by the police into complaints that
newsboys are in the habit Of begging along
F street northwest. 1t developed that the
newsboys had obtained some cards from
Searle, the printer, which were printed on
one side with Thanksgiving greeting"
and containing an appeal for "a nickel OF
two." It Is said many newsboys stop people
on the street and present the appeal cards.
The impression, 1t was testified, was that
the newspapers had issued the cards and
had authorised the boys to solicit contribu-
lions in this way.
When 1t was learned by the police that
the newspapers had not authorized this
system. but that the newsboys were sup
piled with the cards by Searle and by some
other printers. the warrant for Searle was
obtained. and he was arrested by Police
man Lille OF the first precinct.
Judge DeLacy held that the practice was
leading small boys to live vagrant lives and
demoralizing their characters. He thought
that Searle was responsible, in that he sup
piled to the boys the means Of begging.
Searle agreed to destroy his stock Of cards
and to discontinue the practice.

PENDANT. The case was heard last spring be-
fore Justice Wright and a jury. It seems
that Miss Howard purchased ffty-seven
shares of stock OF the defendant corporation
and received dividends during her life It
was commended by the executor that as the
stock certificates had the words "redeemable
at death" printed upon their face they must
be redeemed. The defendant first pleaded in
abatement. contending that as its business
was conducted at Richmond, Va, 1t could
only be sued there. The ruling being against

to the merits, the contention being that the
deceased having received in dividends more
than the face value Of the stock all liability
to redeem was by the laws Of the order
terminated. The jury. decided according
ly. 1t Is said the decision was of i'm
portance as more than 100000 Of the
stock was involved. The plaintiff was rep
resented by Attorneys A. H. Birney and ].
