LlabiIity for servants, Hnrts.

Half Of the householders in Great Britain are in panic and all of them are frantically insuring them selves against liabilities of which they krow nothing except that they are bound to be bothersome and may be overwhelming. The cause of their precipitate anxiety is an act of par liament that came into force on July 1. The title of the act looks harmless enough. It is called the Workmen's Compensation Act We have had many such acts before and they have not disturbed the peace of the Eng fish tireside. But this one or both more stringent in it's provisions and far wider in it's scope than any of it's predecessors, When I say that for the first time in the history of British industry it makes householders legal ly and financially responsible for any accidents that may befall the domes- tic servants they employ I have said enough to account for the national alarm It is not often that legisla- tion touches the home or that the average man, still less the average woman, is affected in any vital and personal interest by what parliaments may do or undo. Tie principle of employers liability is an old and fa- miliar one. But hitherto it has scarcely ever made itself felt outside the spheres of business and industry. A man could forget all about it when he reached home and as for women, there was virtually no occasion for them even to think of 1t. All that is changed by this act. Every one who
 employs a servant is now doomed to study the beauty of the employers la-
 bility in his own household, and will

PLAYING POOR IN 1 TENNIS TOURNAMENT Karl Behr's Conquerer Has Difficulty in His Match
 With Pell. METTLETOM IS DEFEATED Larned's Chances for Champi- onship Look Brighter
 Than Ever.
NETTLETON IS DEFEATED

! Newport, R. l., Aug. 22.-The nation al lawn tennis championship competi- tion as a result of to-day's play has narrowed down to sixteen men, but the playing which brought about this re- suit proved very little of championship orality.
 Former Champion w. A Larned and I. H. Wright, holder of several sec tional titles, were given the grand stand court, but their match proved very short, Larned quickly disposng of his opponent in straight sets, 6-0, 6-S, 6-S. The choppy strokes that Wright had found so effective yester- day against F. c. Colston gave easy chances for Larned. The former cham pion was in excellent form, both at the net and in the back court. His passing strokes were very fine and laid very close to the line His service gave Wright a great deal of difficulty and whenever Iarned found himself in trouble he ran up to the net for cer- tain points. His showing to-day strengthened the impression that was already strong here, that he would win the national championship for the third time,
 R H. Palmer, the conqueror of Karl Behr. had considerable difficulty to-day in his match with Clarence Pell, talk ing four sets to win-6-0, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 He took the last set only after a very hard struggle Pell's playing proved quite a surprise and was much better than it has been before this year in tournament play.
