Tom and June, little brother and sister,
were up very early on Easter morning
The day before their mother had fixed q
dozen very funny eggs for Easter, and
also several very pretty ones. Also a
pretty little nest with Il white rabbit In
II stood on the mantel in the dining-room
And on the breakfast table were bowls
and tall vases OF Easter lilies, for Tom s
and Junes mamma always observed the
holy day Of Easter with much prepare
ton.
For breakfast eggs were served in Xari-
GUS ways, Tom and June always prefer
ring to eat thcirs-soft- boiled-from the
she'll with Il tiny spoon. why" said
Tom, as he dipped the rich yellow food
from the clear white shell, ''it wouldn' t
seem like Easter should ! eat the eggs in
any other form than this. It's like eating
= nut from its she'll"
And what is fuller OF meat than an
eggT' asked June, herself dipping from
smother pretty shining shell.
You must not forget to be thankful for
such nice fresh Easter eggs, my dears, ="
said their mother. And do not forget
6Uty to perform what acts of charity you
can. Have either OF you any plans to
carry out before time for services this
morning2"

And l want you to fill Il basket for me
as soon as breakfast Is over. There is a
poor old couple living down near the rail-
road station. l saw into their house one
day last week when | went with Anna
Smith to the station to meet her papa on
bis return home from a business trip.
oh, how poor the little place-which is
Just a shack. half tumble down-appears
to be. And the old woman sat in chair
In the door, trying to get a breath of air
aud n sunbeam that stole over the high
buildings nearby. | said to Anna then:
That old couple will not have a very
bright Easter unless someone takes pity
on them and shares some happiness with
them. And right then and there l de-
cided to do what l could this morning to
make their day brighter. Oh, yes, / al

Billiards

In a recent letter l took occasion to
comment on the game Of billiards in this
country, who some of the stars of the
green cloth are and when they first came
into prominence. On Friday Of this week
Willie Hoppe and George Sutton will
clash at Madison Square Garden Concert
Hall for the 1872 balk-line championship.
Inasmuch as the amateur championship is
to be settled at Chicago this month, and
Hoppe has already met Jacob Schaefer at
Chicago at the 1S.1 balk-line game, and,
with more duels and championships to
follow, the knights of the billiard table
are claiming more than their share OF the
sporting public's attention.

Webber VS.. W.&F.R. re-
Ii. Co. Comes Up.
Plaintiff Moves to Transfer Il
To the Equity Court.
Coupons 'Ammounting to Over S70,.
900 Said TO Be Defaulted.

The plaintiff in the case of John N.
Webber VS.. the Waterville &. Fairfield
Railway and Light Co. moved Friday
before Associate Justice William Penn
WhitchCuse in the Kennebec supreme
court for the transferance of the case
to- the equity side of the court.
1t was alleged in the plaintiffs dec
laration that the plaintiff, John N.
Webber of Waterville, is the holder of
four bonds of the defendant company,
and that the coupons on said bonds
have not been paid since Nov. 1, 1899
The suit which the plaintiff brings is
all action in debt to recover the amount
alleged to be due from that date until
the present time, the amount involved
being about $400.
The plaintiff pleads under general is
sue and in his brief statement declares
that the bonds in question are of a
kind and description known as Glass b.
and that the bonds and the coupons
thereon are secured by, a trust mort
gage dated Nov. l, 1897, and by a sup
Elementary mortgage dated Sept. 81,
1898. The Glass B bonds were issued
subject to the terms of the trust mort
gage, Section IS of which provides
that the holders of majority in inter-
est Of the bonds may, in behalf of
themselves and the minority of the
holders of Glass B bonds as well, waive
default of payment of the coupons on
the bonds.
The plaintiff in his counter brief
statement alleges that William S.
Spauiding of Boston has been in abso-
lutte control of the affairs Of the Wa
terville & Fairfield Railway and Light
Co. since Dec. /, 1897, by reason. of
holding majority interest in the
bonds. The plaintiff produced in court
an instrument whereby the stockhold-
ers Cf the Waterville & Fairfield Rail-
way and Light Co. placed the stock
of the company in the charge of the
Augusta Safe and Deposit Co. as trus-
tee, the trust thus given being "vot-
ing'' trust, whereby the trustee, at the
annual meetings of the stockholders,
agreed to vote in accordance with the
expressed will Of the majority of the
bondholders. w.,
The attorneys for the plaintiff cona
tended that this made Mr.. Spaulding
the virtual trustee of the company, and
that any action at law would be fruit
less, as an execution could not be car
riad out against the trustee after a
judgment had been secured
The plaintiff alleged bad manage
nent on the part of the trustee The
motion of the plaintiff to transfer the
case to the equity side of the court
will probably be passed upon by the
court this morning
While the amount actually involved
is $500, the attorneys for the plaintiff
represents other interests. The total
amount of the bonds whose coupons
are alleged to have been thus default
eo is s157,000, and the amount of the
coupons alleged to be overdue is in
round numbers over $4,000.
Eaton and Danforth appear for the
plaintiff and minority bondholders, and
Johnson and Boutelle for the defend
ant company.
Court was adjourned until $50 o'clock
this morning. Al.
