THE LAW OF FINDING.
Against All Save the Owner the Find
er's Title Is Perfect.

Against All Save the Owner the Find
er's Title Is Perfect.
In common law finding is a qualified
source of title to goods and chattels.
Briefly, the law is that the finder has
clear title against all the world. except
ing the owner. The proprietor of a
coach or a railroad car or a ship has no
right to demand property found on his
premises. Such proprietors may make,
in regard to lost articles, regulations
which will bind their employees, but
they cannot bind the public.
The law OF finding was declared by
the kings bench more than hundred
years ago (when it was the supreme
court Of common law in England) as
follows:
A person found a wallet containing a
sum of money on a shop floor. He
handed the wallet and contents to the
shopkeeper to be returned to the own
er. After three years, during which
the owner did not call for his property,
the finder demanded of the shopkeeper
the wallet and the money. The latter
refused to deliver them upon the
ground that they were found on his
premises. The finder then sued the
shopkeeper, and it was held, as stated
above, that, against all the world save
the owner, the title of the finder is per
feet. The finder has indeed been held
to stand in the place Of the owner.
Thus A prevailed in an action against
B, who found an article which A had
originally found, but subsequently lost
The police have no especial rights In
regard to articles lost unless these
rights are conferred by statute. Receiv.
ers Of articles found are trustees fol-
the owner or finder. In the absence OF
special statute they have no power tc
keep an article against the finder any
more than a finder has to retain an ar
ticle against the owner.
A finder must. however, use every
reasonable means to discover the own
er of found goods before appropriate
ing them to his own use. 1t has been
declared that if the finder knows the
owner or knows that he can discover
him he is guilty of larceny in keeping
or appropriating to himself the arti
cles found

The first session Of the convention.
which lasted less than an hour yester-
day, gave no hint of the friction which
has been so freely predicted. Leader

from each other, and there were op.
posing demonstrations by their adher-
ents when they entered the hall.

LeapinH Treason.

King William III. of England was
passionately fond Of the chase and
made it point never to be outdone in
any leap, however perilous. A Mr..
Cherry, who was devoted to the exiled
family, took advantage Of this to plan
the most pardonable design which was
ever formed against a kings life. He
regularly Joined the royal hounds, put
himself foremost and took the most
desperate leaps in the hope that Will
liam might break his neck in following
him. One day, however, he accom-
plished one SO imminently dangerous
that the king when he came to the spot
shook his head and drew back. 1t is
said that Mr.. Cherry at length broke
his own neck and thereby relieved the
king from further hazard.

Prosecutor Gives Warning to

Leo Reed, one of the bosses of the
track gang the traction company now
has at work on Main street, was fined
81 and costs this morning in the city
court. He was charged with intoxica-

but after thinking the matter over he
changed his plea. Officer Menke stated
he took Reed into custody for swear

ecutor Jessup informed Reed that the

.bers of their gangs, and that they
would have to tame down their talk
considerably or they would be ar
rested.

Rossinf's Jealousy.

Rossini was intolerably jealous Of all
his musical contemporaries and partic-
ularly of Meyerbeer. In 1886 he heard
1.-The Huguenots," and on listening to
the performance from the beginning to
the end he made up his mind that Mey.
erbeer had excelled him and deter
mined to write no more. He lived Tn
til 1868, but produced nothing for the
lyric stage. His thirty-two years Of re.
tirement were spent in the pleasures of
a voluptuary. He was particularly fond
of good eating and drinking and as.
sembled about him the youngest and
gayest society he could attract to his
house

THE GROUND CUCKOO.
Remarkable Cunning 1t Displays II
Catching RattIers.

One of the most interesting geological
oddities is the California ground cue
koo. He usually is from twenty to
twenty-five inches long, including his
tail, which measures one-half of his
whole length. On account of his small
wings he is a poor fier. but what he
lacks in aerial dexterity be makes up
in pedestrian velocity. With his four
yard jumps he can outrun the swiftest
race horse. His geographical range
is confined to southern California,
Mexico and some parts of Texas. As
a bird OF prey the ground cuckoo out
wits his most avidious fellow crea-
lures. Snails and large worms consti-
tute his principal food, which he is
busy all day in digging out Of the
ground. But he does not hesitate to
attack larger animals. 1t is no trou-
BILE for him to get the better Of small
snakes. and when domesficr ted he
beats any cat or dog in the extermina.
ton Of mice and small house pests.
Most curiously interesting is the
strategic sagacity he displays In the
capture of large rattlesnakes. These
he dare not meet in fair and open
combat. AS soon as he espies a rattle.

tus hedge he surrounds his victim with
a heap of the prickly leaves until he

leaves he wounds his tender flesh, and
1t takes but an hour or two for the

A strange custom is still observed In
Roumania which reminds one strongly
of Robinson Crusoe. When servant
has displeased his or her master the
offender takes his boots in his hands
and places them before the bedroom
door Of his master. 1t Is a sign Of
great submission, and the boots are
either kicked away as an intimation
that the fault will not be forgiven or
else the servant is told to place them
on his feet, which shows that he is for
given.
