CONTRACTS
7. Offers to the Public. Contracts e1
Aliens and of Corporations.

As we have learned, in order TO
constitute contract there must OF
an offer and an acceptance. Inc oHer
mood not be to any particular person,
hut NAV be made to the public In gen
eral. An Instance of this is an adver-
tsement of a reward offered. An &C
ceptance in such case is necessary III
order to make contract, and the &C
centapce must be with knowledge
of the offer. In such case the con-
tract is executed by the act Itself.
The person accepting need not notify
the person making the offer. The
offer is accepted by his going aheau
and doing the work or performing the
act.
An offer made to the public may be
withdrawn before it is acted upon,
and if the offer was made by advertise
ment. withdrawal may be so made,
and the mere fact that the person
nerforming the act did not see the
advertisement Withdrawing the offer
does not entlJIe him to the reward.
arule, an offer mly be withdraw
by the same means used in making it.
or course an offer may be presumed
in the law to have been withdrawn b!
lapse of time. No withdrawal having
been actually made, the offer will DC
presumed to stand for a reasonable
time.
We now enter upon the discussion
Of who are competent to make con-
tracts. Not every one may make d
contract. The law books designate
six classes of persons who, in general
are Incompetent to make binding
contracts, either wholly or in part;
l. Aliens. 2. Computations. 3, In
fants. 4. Insane persons. D. Dfunk-
ards. 6. Married women.
In the first place, it may be under
stood that man cannot make COL
tract with himself. Ia other worGs,
there must be at least two parties u
a contract. One attempts To make
contract with himself when as al
agent for some one else he attempts
u buy the goods of his principal; or
when, as executor, he attempts u.
buy the goods of the testator; or when
as auctioneer he tries to buy the goods
he is Offering tor sale. The mere fact
that one cannot sue himself would
make the rule necessary. The same
applIes where one attempts to make d
cuntract with himself and another.
Oae cannot sue two persons one OF
whom is jointly interested with him
self as defendant. Neither can one
make a contract with a fictitious per
son; the person must be living.
There is no law preventing the max
ing Of contracts between persons OF
different nationalities, or owing al
legiance to different flags. Such con-
tracts, however, mace between aliens,
that is, citizens of countries al war,
are declared in the law to be null ard
void, In the case of the Spanish
American War contract entered into
between Spaniard and an American
during the existence Of tue war was a
nullity. Even after peace was de-
clared. the contract could be no e
feet. AS to contracts made before
the war, these are merely suspended
during the continuance Of the war
They revive when peace returns. Ii
the same way suit on CONTRACT
made before the war began cannot b,
carried on in the courts while the wal
continues. II brought before the
war may be revived after the war has
c'osed.

ORIGINAL NEW ENGLAND.

There is a common saying that II the
pilgrim fathers had only landed on the
Pacific coast a largo portion OF the At
lantic seaboard would never have been
settled. Californians, Oregonians and
Washingtonians believe this implicitly. In
other words, the charms or the Pacific
coast in the way OF climate are so appre-
ciated that. having once experienced
them. men are unwilling 20 live elsewhere
contentedly. Now, not one man in
thousand living on the Pacific coast

cents of our mother tongue were heard

TYR0 AND NUTMEG
RACE PROV AND PROV

The Boston Yacht club squadron had a
most successful run yesterday from Glou-
cester to Isle OF Shoals, before mod
crate southwest breeze.
About 40 boats made the start, at East
Gloucester. the third class going off at
$50, the next at 915 and the largest boat
at 10 o'clock.
The distinguishing feature OF the days
run was a very close race In the second
class between the Nutmeg and the
champion Tyro. The boats sailed side by
side for Is miles, and the Nutmeg won
by 40 yards.
The two boats ran up on the leaders,
which started As minutes ahead OF them,
and finished but two minutes or so behind
the Clique OF the Portland Y. c., which
led her class. They also ran their own
class hull down.
Their race was distinguished by great
efforts on the part OF both crews TO press
on SAIL on which there was no restriction.
The Nutmeg sprung a surprise at the
start by getting up n club topsail, un-
known In the 22-foot class until today
The Tyro at once sent a man out on her
gaff and rugged n spare jib as a topsail
Both boats also carried improvised water
sails.
once on the rum they were so close to-
sether that a bottle OF soda was passed
from one TO the other and the main boom
Of the Tyro overclapped the spinnaker
boom Of the Nutmeg.
The Clique was the first boat TO reach
the anchorage inside Star island. except
the power boats Brunhilde and Davy
Jones. The Nutmeg and Tyro were di-
rectly behind her. Next came L'Aiglon,
which also had outrun her class. and soon
the larger schooners and sloops came in.
The men on the Nutmeg were much
disappointed 10 learn. when the summary
was issued, that they had lost on allow

The yachts were greeted by interested
