A Correction.

Through misunderstanding in the
Interpretation of Judge Whitson's de-
cision in the federal court yesterday
it was given out in these columns that
the verdict was adverse to Whitman

Judge overruled the demurrer and ex-

ground that educational institutions

Bio Claim For q Mustaehe.

Herr Borel, a merchant, brought an
action in the high court Of Prague,
claiming $3.50 damages from a former
friend named Dragone, who had clip
ped off the ends of his mustache with
a pair Of scissors at carnival ball.
Twelve witnesses called by Herr Bo-
rel described in glowing terms the mag
nifcence OF his mustache. 1t was the
heaviest and longest in the country
and when waxed reached from shout
der to shoulder. 1t was stated that
now Herr Borel was so ashamed Of his
altered appearance that he avoided the
public view, and his business suffered
In consequence. The court decided In
favor Of Dragone on the ground that
the act complained Of had been done
In lest and no damages had been prov
ed. If Herr Borel had lost chance OF
getting a rich wife through the mutila-
ton Of his mustachs this might have
counted for legal damages. He was,
however, married, and his wife had nc
ground for a divorce In his altered ap
pearance, even If she desired one.--

Fooled the SINGERS.

Pforzheim, Germany, possesses sew
eral choral societies. A few weeks
ago these societies received letter
which purported to come from So
ciety Of German singers In New YORK
inviting the Pforzheimers to come over
to Join in celebrating the five hun
dredth anniversary Of the founding or
the German choral societies OF that
city. The Pforzheimers at once ac-
cepted and set to work to rehearse
and to make their preparations for the
Journey. But just before they started
some one pointed out to them that
500 years ago not only were there no
Germans in New York, but that
Christopher Columbus had not even
discovered America. The Pforzheim-
ers then took a great oath not to men
ton the subject 20 any one, but. the
story got out and has almost equaled
that Of the famous captain of Koe'

Whale Leather.

The Newfoundland fishermen, &C
cordlng to q consular report, have bean
attempting to make whale, leather q
commercial product and are said to be
meeting with some success. The aver
age whale hide covers a surface OF
about 1900 square feet. A square foot
Of the hide weighs from two to five
ounces and is priced as high as 90
cents. Tie leather is unusually tough
and is said TO have great wearing quail
tiles and may therefore be adapted to
the covering Of furniture, buggy tops
and seats and also automobile uses.
1t IS also said that it can be used for

A DISAPPOINTED SHAH.
Queer Story Of Prizefisht In an Eng
Ilsh ROYAL Garden.

llSn hO(dl 0dI0Cih
In his book Of memories Major zen
eral Sir Owen Tudor Burns tells
story of the first visit of a shah to
Great Britain:
The shah wanted TO see prizehght
with blood. After much anxious
thought and consultation with LORD
Oueensberry an innocent glove fight
was arranged in the Buckingham pal
ace stables, to take place quietly half
an hour before the shah was to receive
Lord Shaftesbury and the archbisbops
and bishops with q memorial asking
him to protect the interests OF the
Christians in Persia.
But the shah slept late. The prize
fighters overlapped the prelates. a
| footman made mistake IN opening
the door. Archbishops and bishops fol-
lowing the shah in a moment found
| themselves more or less In ring
round the two prizehghters The
bishops hustled back to the reception
room, the fight was stopped, the shan
was angry and disappointed, and LORD
| Shaftesbury was heard shouting: "a

Love Letters Wiped Out Church Debt


There was great rejoicing In the
new Brooklyn church in Sicklerville,
n. J., recently when the last dollar OF
the debt against the parsonage was
paid. The money was raised in novel
manner.
Every female member Of the church
wrote a letter to all the boys that were
her schoolmates in bygone days, no
matter where they now live, solicit
ing contributions. The men members
likewise wrote to their schoolgirl
sweethearts of long ago. Many pleas

were youngsters, but as husbands ano

known IN local Republican circles
The men were representing opposite
sides In a case which Mr.. Simmons said

modiately arose and replied that as the
case was not yet at an issue. 1t should
be stricken from the calender, which
was done
IL is said that Mr.. Mather openly
accused Mr.. Simmons OF ''shsrp prae-

AT this time, basing his charge on court
rule 64. which says that no case in
which the Issue has not been joined, and
which has net been properly rut on the

Upon coming out of the door. Mr..
Simmons walked to where Nj. Mather
was standing and told iis latter that

MED that sucn action had been taken
by Mr.. Simmons, and II IS said that tie

Il confidently believe that the Bureau

that IL has the power"
A transcript OF the testimony in re-
gard to the question VIII be made and
forwarded to the Bureau of Corpora
tions at Washington, where Il will be
given careful consideration. The QueB-
tion Of regulating ocean freight rates
IS Of great interest to Al branches Of

vide complaints in almost all lines OF

1t was pointed out that dificulty viii
be found in the fact that. as a rule.
ocean freights are not carried by any
contract; that the rates are usually
quoted to the shipper At the time OF
the shipment and that no fixed schedule
is established. Furthermore most of
the foreign lines have no actual offices
in this country. but are represented by
brokers. II Is believed that the Federal
