Escorting the Court.

In colonial days York, Maine, was
the county seat to which the Judge
and lawyers from New Hampshire and
Massachusetts, often went, and the
court sessions were attended with
much official pomp and ceremony. In
"Old Colonial Houses in Maine" En-
ma Huntington Mason quotes from a
record left by John Adams, who. as a
Young barrister, went to York in 1774,
and who made at that time the follow.
ing entry in his journal:
when / got to the tavern on the
eastern side of the Piscataqua river.
I found the sheriff of York and six OF
his deputies, all with gold-laced hats,
rufies. swords and very gay clothes
and all likely young men who had
come out to that place to escort the
court into town"
This gives US a hint OF the pcmr
and splendor affected by the court of
fcials of those days. when the judges
wore robes of scarlet with large cam
brio bands. and immense wigs. and
the barristers had gowns and also
bands and tie-wigs."
AS the judges approached the shire
towns, the sheriff met them wfth ar
escort and flourish OF trumpets. Theil
arrival was announced by cannon; and
the daily summons to the court be
fort bells were introduced was BY
beating drum

handed down a decision which may re-
suit in the sale of the lines of the
Kenesha Electric Railway to pay the
claims made against the company by
Patrick L. Haynes and Gustav L. Clau-
sen, two Chicago railway promoters.
The, promoters sued the company sew
en- vars ago for $50, 0o0 alleged to be
due them for securing a franchise for
the Kenosha Street Railway Company.
The promoters were paid in bonds and
after the franchise they had secured
was declared void the company refused
to pay the bonds. The promoters
started suit in foreclosure and the
Supreme Court has just decided the
case in their favor. The court directs
the Circuit Court to reopen the case
and to implead such other defendants
as may be necessary to secure an equit-
able settlement of the claims.

University Upper CIasSmen Propose
TO Check Cigarette Smoking.
In order to enable freshmen at the
University of Wisconsin to escape be-
coming inveterate cigarette fisnds. con-
scientious students are attempting to
have the traditions of the university
changed, so that freshmen will not be
obligated to smoke cigarettes. Under
the old regime, freshmen were not al
lowed to smoke pipes on the streets OF
Madison or upon the campus This
drove them to smoke cigarettes, and
the habit became pronounced. The
new rules add to the disabilities i'm
posed upon the first-year men. Smok-
ing of any description is absolutely
prohibited on the campus, as far as
freshmen are concerned. The new
rules also prohibit the wearing of cor
duroy trousers or derby hats by fresh
men, and require them to wear the
regulation green cap. They cannot car
ry canes, nor sit on the library steps,
if the new regulations receive the as

CURE FOR rETANUs CLAIMED.

Wisconsin Professor Discovers SUBJ
stance That Destroys the Toxin.
What is believed by medical men to
be cure for the hitherto fatal tetanus
or lockjaw has been discovered by Pro.
fessor A. A. Loveahart, University of
Wisconsin, who for several days has
been cooperating with Milwaukee ply
sicians in the case of Albert Johnson
in st. Mary's Hospital in that city.
While the result in this instance was
not cure, it warrants the opinion
that a significant step has been taken
in the direction of a cure for this dis
ease. Professor Lovenhart has found
that substance which be produced in
the laboratory was capable of destroy
ing the toxin or poison produced by
the germ of lockjaw in laboratory ex-
periments, outside the body, and when
the disease occurs in animals.

Sitting in his Office next day, Mr..

few eggs and place them in his nests,
thereby not only deceiving Mrs. Tim

That evening he took an old negro
into his confidence, the agreement
being that every evening he was to slip
in the back gate and place eleven eggs
in the nests.
