The plaintiffs we're awarded s1i. an
amount which had been previously
rendered them by the defend
ant The testimony gwen during
the trial OF the case was OF a rather
sensational character and evidently
was significant in the jurors minds,
as there was no denial made by the
defendant OF the claim that there had
been services rendered as alleged In
the plaintiffs bill of particulars.
The social relations OF the plain
tins, with the wife OF the defendant
during the time these treatments
we're being given was the chief de-
fense set up by Attorney Pomerene

The outcome OF their deliberation
was the recommendation to the pres
ident that the Atlantic battleship feet
be sent TO the Pacific. The concern of
the administration did not abate af-
ter II became known to the world that
the feet would go to the Pacific. and
the anti-Americsn agitation In Japan
apparently subsidized. In August Il or
dered home the armored cruiser
squadron maintained In the Philip
pines, leaving in the waters of the
archipelago and elsewhere In the far
east only two monitors. some pro-
tected cruisers, and q considerable
number OF small vessels or no great
defensive ability--certninly OF no
ability at all to Withstand an attack
from a single battleship. The official
assertion that the fleets voyage TO
the Pacific is practice cruise Is a
technical qulbble. Its practice will
consist OF establishing proper bases
OF operation and otherwise getting
ready for conflict. Present plans do
not contemplate the return OF the
fleet TO the Atlantic. or even its re-
tention at stations on the Pacific
coast OF this continent. Unless the
purpose now IN the minds OF those
who will have large part in deter
mining its future movements under
goes a change, the feet will proceed
to the Philippines and WIN remain
there.

SIGNS OF LONG LIFE.

"In the medical world" said a we'll known veteran doctor of TiOga yes terday. 'it is generally accepted fact that every person bears physical indications of his prospects of a long or short life. long lived person may be distinguished from a short lived person at sight. In many in- stances a physician may look at the hand Of a patient and tell whether he or she will live or not. The primary conditions of longevity are that the heart. lungs and digestive nrgans. as well as the brain should be large. If these organs are large the trunk will be long and the limbs comparatlvely short The person will appear ;an in sitting and short in standing. The hand will have a long and somewhat heavy palm and short fingers. The brain will lae deeply seated. as shown by the oTifige of the ear icing low The blue or brown hazel eye as showing an ihtermisSi0n of tempars- ment- Is a favorable indication.

their organization been demanding that the tariff which protects the trusts be revised, although the ma- jority of the members have been vot- ing to endorse the standpat republi- can programme. The Oranges, which used to be such power in politics, and now con- tinue as independent organ izations for the benefit of farmers, have been dominated by republican ring, but even these have lately seen the light. At the last meeting of the National Grange in November the following resolutions were passed unanimously: Resolved, by the National Grange in Hartford, Con- necticut, assembled November 13, 1907, that we believe that the gener- al welfare of the country demands an exhaustive and thorough tariff revi- sion, and that the tariff be removed from every article that is being sold in foreign markets cheaper than at home. Resolved, that we urge upon the members of the grange through out the United States to take speedy action and use every influence at their command to secure the carrying out of the sentiments of these resolu- tions." That is the democratic posi- tion, but there is no probability of the republican majority in congress paying any heed to the demands of the farmers, for Speaker Cannon, ,who rules the republican roost, has pack ed the committee on ways and means on purpose to prevent tariff consider ation. There is a vague promise in the air to revise the tariff "after elec- tion,' but as Speaker Cannon has de- clared to the Manufacturing Potters association that their industry needs that the tariff be revised higher, what hope is there that any general reduc- tiOn of the tariff will be made "after election" if the republicans elect the president and majority of con- gress?

l. seems certain that the democrats of New York will not elect delegates to the national convention favorable to MT Bryan, says one writer. All the factions of consequence have unit ed for a supreme effort to carry the state, and it was decided that it would be impossible to unite on MT Bryan, although he has many friends in the state. It is probable that the delegation to the Denver convention will be uninstructed, except to vote as a unit, though strong movement is on foot to endorse David B. Hill. To that, however, MT Hill is said not to be party. MT Chanler, the present democratic lieutenant-gover- nor, has many friends and number of counties are said to have been se- cured for him. As the electoral vote of New York is essential for demo- cratic success, 1t is to be hoped that all factions in that state can be united for whoever is eventually nominated.

From an operating standpoint the third rail is a menace and a constant source of danger to the trainmen, particularly at night, says writer in the Engineering Magazine. Circum- stances often require that a train man should go back with a red light to protect the rear of his train. With out the third rail there was a cer- tain amount of risk; with it there is a positive danger. A broken leg with the opportunity to get run over by a following train is one of the prob able rewards of obedience to the rules. This danger is vivid reality to all experienced traInmen who have had the opportunity to observe work ing conditions on a thlrd-rail line. A few accidents 10 the rear tTainman will cause such men to become chart of risking their lives by going back at night. The number of railroad en- ployes killed in the discharge of their duty is large, and many laws have been enacted forcing the railroads to adopt safety appliances. In view of this it would certainly be unfortunate for road to adopt a method of elec- trie traction which will ultimately be prohibited by law; in fact, the third rail has already been placed under the ban of the courts in Connecticut. owing to the large number of acci- dents due tO it's use. The third rail is bad enough along the line. but when installed in a yard it becomes a constant source Of danger to all who are employed in such yards. obstruct. ing all of the fairWays and reducing the speed with which trains can be sorted and made up. Supposedly dead sections come to life the instant any gap is bridged. and the results of such mishaps have been spectacular in some cases and startling in others. In one case a IzbOrer was slectrOcuted eight miles from the nearest live third rail. owing to a train over-run- ming a gap

The Independence League is to be continued as national organization, according to it's master manager. As MT Hearst is the creator of this rival of the democratic party, he must not feel hurt if democrats decline to sup port the Hearst papers in this effort for disruption. There can be no ob- jection to independent political ac- tion by any citizen, that is a privilege that democracy would be the last to restrict, and as MT Hearst has de- clared he is not in sympathy with the democratic party, he is entirely free to support this new party, or push the socialist propaganda, or in company with Tom Watson and Pre- sident Roosevelt urge a coalition of such discordant clements as he can bind together. But those who are democrats and believe that reforms will only be brought about by that party of the people, will hardly care to support the Hearst papers, which are run to make money, and for the advancement of the political for tunes of their proprietor.
