DAMAGE SUIT
 TAKEN FROM JURY
Negligence not Shown in the Killing of John Cagle by the Railroad Complicated Suit on Trial
 Over a Horse.

The $4. 900 danlage suit of Mrs. Lena Cagle Lemon against the Kansas City Southcrn for the death of her first husband, John Cagle, the one armed night watchman who was run over and killed by the Kansas City South train in 1904, which was on trial in circuit court Wednesday was taken from the jury by Judge Steel upon the ruling that negli- gence on the part of the company had not been shown. Judge Steel directed the jury to return a verdict in favor of the railroad company.
 The next case called was the replevin suit of w. w. Cranford ys E. U. Big ham. The case is rather interesting owing to the fact that 1t is over very ordi- nary horse and will be very ex- pensive because of the large number of witnesses, and 1t is seldom that the testimony of wit uesscs for the plaintiff on one side and the defendant on the other is so directly at variance.
 Bigham, who lives in the Ter ritory west of Cove, traded mare to Crauford, who lives at Cove, for team of mules a year or two ago. Shortly after this man identified the mare as one which had been stolen from man named Crockett of Lamar, Tex. Crockett claimed and took the mare and Cranford in this suit is trying to recover his mules from Bigham. With several witnesses Bigham went to Lamar and iden- ti6ed the m gre as one he had purchased from K. Hill. who claimed 10 have raised 1t from a colt. Then Crockett had Big ham arrested for stealing the mare and Blgham went 10 iail under S2,000 bond but was re- leased by the grand jury.
 Bigham and hrs witnesses were in court to swear 10 the his tory of the mare from birth up to the present time showing Bigham's rightful ownership Reputable witnesses on the other side. and more of them. swore to the life history of the animal under different ownership and are equally as positive 1t belonged to Crockett. The outcome of the case is being watched with good deal of interest by those attend ing court. The law firm of Nor wood & Alley is represe nting MT. Crauford and Judge Prickett and Shaver X Pipkin are representing MT. Bigham.
 The Cranford vs. Bigham suit was decided by the jury iu favor oi the plaintiff, Craniord having the mules returned to him that he had traded to Bigham for the mare, which was held to be the proper ty of Crockett from whom she was said 10 have been stolen.

OBSERVATION AND EXPRESSION.

OBSERVATION AND EXPRESSION.
 Critics of our public school systems, including the one with which New Ha- ven is blessed, have said that they do not encourage either observation or ex- pression in the children. The next time such a critic says anything like that about the New Haven school system take this out of your pocket and read it to him. The following composition was written by a pupil in one of New Haven's public schools: New Haven is a very educational city, It has a university. which contains a great many stuffed animals and other beau tiful things"
 Any lack of acute observation or &C., curate and adequate expression here? Could the most observing and the most expressive among us have done any better? The Chamber of Commerce and Yale will do well to appropriate for advertising purposes this descrip- tion of New Haven and Yale. New Haven is truly an educational city, and Yale does contain a great many stuffed animals and other beautiful things.

The Organist.

l wonder how the organist
 Can do so many things; lies getting ready long before
 me cholr stands up and sings: lies pressing buttons, pushing stops; Hes pulling here and there And testing all the working parts
 While listening to the prayer. He runs a mighty big machine,
 It's full of funny things mass of boxes, pipes and tubes
 And sticks and slats and strings; There's little whistles for accent,
 And rows and rows and rows. I'll bet there's twenty miles of tubes As large as garden hose. There's scores as round as stove pipes,
 There's lots so big and wide That several little boys I know
 Could play around inside; From little bits of piccolos That hardly make a toot, There's every size up to the great
 Big elevator chute. The organlst knows every one And how they ought to go; He makes them rumble like a storm,
 Or plays them sweet and low; At times you think them very near At times they're soaring high, Like angel voices singing far
 Off somewhere in the sky. For he can take this structure that's
 As big as any house And make it squeak so softly as
 A tiny little mouse; And then he'll jerk out something
 with
 A movement of the hand, And. make you think you're listening to A military band. He plays it with his fingers and
 He plays 1t with his toes And if he really wanted to
 He'd play it with his nose; He's sliding up and down the bench,
 He's working with his knees Hes dancing round with both his feet As lively as you please, l always like to take a seat
 Where 1 can sec him go; He's better than sermon and
 He does me good, I know like the life and movement. and
 l like to hear him play; He, is the most exciting thing

wr11 RACK No rURrHER OUT.

The President promptly backed out of the untenable part of his position in the brownsville matter, but he isn't going to back any further just now. He believes that Senators erred who questioned his legal right to discharge the enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth infantry; that this was a subject wholly outside the province of the Sen ate. but that, his authority having been so questioned, the honorable and manly course to pursue will be to adopt the Blackburn amendment which is a concise and logical express sion of the views set forth by Senators Lodge Spooner Knox, Heyburn and others. Nor does the fact that the amendment emanates from a Demo- cratic source appeal to the Presi- dent as constituting in any sense a valid objection. He feels that the Brownsville affair in the Senate is mo creature of his. but he does feel that, since Senator Foraker has seen fit, in open debate, to question his authority to dismiss certain members of the Twenty-fifth infantry. his friends in the Senate cannot refuse to adopt the words without questioning or deny ing the legal right of the President to dismiss enlisted men from the army of the United States, which is the text of the Blackburn amendment
 So we shall soon see who is for and who is against the President. And il is probable that when the lineup real ly comes he will be found to have more friends in the Senate than some have thought, CT, at least, hoped,

THE GREAT LITTLE JAPANEsE.

The Japanese continue to hold their own and get more, and no wonder, A correspondent of the Paris Temps, writing from Seoul, gives an en- thusiastic description of the mass of Japanese enigrants now thronging into Korea as colonists. As a noteworthy characteristic of this rush to a new country, he. comments upon the ab- sence of the selfshness and brutality which western peoples are wont to exhibit on such occasions. In spite of the inevitable crush and crowding, every one, he says, remains polite and helpful, particularly to the women. Although unknown to each other, a tacit bond of union seems to be estab- lished between them. The individual ity of each is subordinated to the com mon purpose. existing between them.

EDWARD MACpoWELL.

Edward Mcdowell at the prime of life left with his delicate, highly or- ganized brain a poor broken instru- ment. We Americans cannot escape our share of responsibility for that tragic fact. America is rich in ma terial possessions, but it has no art istic geniuses to spare; yet America has let such a man as Mcdowell work himself into final dumbness. It is not creditable to us. We have made the composer of that once popu- lar but now forgotten ditty, After the Ball." rich-so it is reported-but we have been content to see the com poser of the Indian Suite" the Sonata Tragica," Hamlet and Ophe- lia," the "Keltic Sonata" the rSea Pieces" supplement his exacting but unprofitable labor of composition with the very moderately remunerative routine of the classroom for the sake of a living. Even this compensation he was not permitted to receive to the end. As pr. van Dyke has said, America was proud of Mcdowell, and paid him in praise abundantly- but not much in money" Now that his fertile brain, his one resource, has failed him. he must be dependent up- on others for his comfort to the end. It is but poor reparation that we can make; we can offer it, however, by responding to the appeal for contri- buttons to the Edward Mcdowell Fund of the Mendelssohn Glee Club.

HE GOT HIS PIANO.

Law is sometimes interesting. For instance, in a Massachusetts case which involved rented piano, a house and some people. A piano rented from the plaintiff was, because of its size, moved into a building by a tenant through a window which had been enlarged for the purpose, with the permission of the landlord, the understanding being that permission to remove it in the same way would be given when desired. Upon the expiration of the lease the landlord refused to permit the plaintiff to enlarge the window, but insisted that he remove tho piano. Upon the seeking of the aid of a court of equity to compel the landlord to permit the removal of the piano it was cohtended that plaintiff had an adequate remedy at law, but the court pointed out that relief by replevin would be impossible as the ott1cer would nave no power which the plaintiff did not have to se- cure the pianos removal; further, that the plaintiff could not maintain conver- sion, since the landlord did not set up any adverse title, but admitted plain tiff's ownership. Though the landlord had made no promise to the plaintiff that the piano might be removed as it had been brought in, the court decided that the promise made to the tenant entitled the plaintiff to decree allow ing him to remove the piano upon giv- ing sufficient security.
 This looks reasonable and just, more reasonable and just than the landlord was.

This fund will be administered for two purposes; first and primarily the sup port of Edward MacDowell; second, the perpetuation of his name in some fitting manner. In considering plans for the second purpose, the committee in charge has decided to adhere, so far as possible, to MT. MacDowell's own plan for devoting the property which has for years been the home of Mir and Mrs. Mcdowell, at Peter boro, New Hampshire, to the purposes which he had most at heart" His hope, which 1t will thus be possible to realize, was, the committee states, Ito make of this place a resting spot for students in all arts, where quiet work and close companionship could be had-a modest sum being paid during residence in order to clear it of a possible accusation of it's being a 1 charitable institution" A few months 1 ago there was organized the Mac Dowell Club of New York City, for the purpose of promoting the artistic ideals which MT. Mcdowell has by word and practice upheld. To this club the property in Peterboro has been offered, and the cordial co-opera- tion of the club in the plan has been secured. The appeal on behalf of this fund has been signed by men con- spicuous in various activities; such public men as Mir. Cleveland, Mir. Cho- ate, MT. Gortelyou, MT. Jerome; such i financial and industrial leaders as Andrew Carnegie, J. Pierpont Morgan
 Jacob H. Schiff; such philanthropic and educational leaders as Seth Low, Robert C.. Ogden, and Henry l.. Hig- ginson; and composers as Arthur Foote, Horatio Parker. Victor Her bert, F. s. Converse, and Charles Loeffier such conductors as Emil Paur, of thes Pittsburg Orchestra, Frederick A. Stock, of the Chicago Orchestra, Frank Damrosch, of New
 York, and B, J. Lang, of Boston; such clergymen as Dr. Henry van Dyke and Bishop Potter and number of the best-known musical critics. This list of names shows not only how thoroughly this plan is indorsed by men of standing, but also how widely the music of Edward Mcdowell is appreciated in his own country. Con- tributions may be sent ito E. c. Bene- dict. treasurer, 50 Wall Street, New
 York City; and further information may be had from the secretry of the committee, Allen Robinson, at the address. From the Outlook.
