NO APPEAL FROM
LAND COURT DECISION

The Supreme Court this morning
rendered "a decision in the matter of
the petition of j. B. Castle, appeal
from the Court of Land Registration.
Justice Wilder is author of the opin-
ion, the decision in full being as fol-
lows:'
An appeal to this court does not lie
from a decision of the court of land
registration.
This is an appeal from a decision of
the judge of the land court denying
the petition of J. b. Castle TO a regis
tered title to a certain portion of land
set forth in his petition, the title to
which portion was found to be in He
len Boyd
No objection was made by counsel,
but at the argument the court of its
own motion questioned whether an
appeal lies from a decision as distin-
guished from decree of the land
court, no decree having yet been en-
tered.
The statute was originally as fol-
lows: Appeals shall be allowed from
all decisions, judgments, orders or de-
erees of the court of land registration
to the supreme court in the same man
ner as appeals are taken from the
decisions of the circuit judges in
chambers r. L. Sec, 2407. This sec
tion was amended by Act 49, S. l.
1907, so as to read as follows: ZAP
peals solely upon points of law shall
be allowed from any final order, deci.
sion, judgment or decree Of the court
to the supreme court" with other pro
visions not necessary to be referred
to.

court held that under a statute allow
ing a party to appeal from any deci-
sion, judgment, order or decree the
appeal should be taken from the de-

Germans are Much Pleased.

BY no means is the interest in the
Llanelly choir confined to Welsh Ameri-
cans. The German music-lOverS are
very enthusiastic in a number of com
munities, and several Lutheran churches
have secured the choir for concerts
The splendid commentator given by
the Emperor and Empress of Germany
is responsible in part for this. 1t led to
an inquiry as to the standard and merit
of the choir, which resulted in complete
satisfaction and conviction that the
Llanelly Royal choir can give thorough
ly artistic, up-to-date concert.
The secret of the success of the choir
is its age. The singers have sung for
years as one body under the baton of
the Incompatible John Thomas. PraC-
tice truly makes perfect, and this APP
plies strongly to the LlanelIv Royal
choir, when it is borne in mind that 1t is
made up exclusively of finished artists.
In European countries the musical
standard is set high. In Wales, one of
the most musical countries in the world
for choral music, the Eisteddfod, or the
national singing festival. decides the
standard. The Llanelly choir has won
many notable victories at the big nation
al gathering, when it has held an audi
ence of 20, 900 spell bound. Last year it
won first, this year second prize.
In concert work it ranks first to day
i'll Wales. Its enviable position is not
only unchallenged, but officially recog-
nized. when invited by King Edward
and Queen Alexandra to sing at Wind
sor castle.
The soloists have been spoken of pre-
viously. Madame John Thomas needs
no introduction to an American audi
ence. She captured America last year
and hundreds would walk miles to hear
her sing the Lark Song and THE
Cuckoo

JouyHdi anent the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroads splendid recovery from the
depression which has affected all rail
roads, especially trunk lines, during
1908.
In the months ended August 3lst,
last, the gross receipts reached nearly )
million dollars; net over 3 millions 200
thousand.
In consequence large equipment orders
have been placed, aggregating an eX-
penditure of 10 millions. These include
new locomotives and all classes of passen-
ger and freight outfit.
All this leads the JoHruH to indulge
the forecast:
That the management sees no red lights
ahead is apparent from the policy recently
decided upon of going ahead as rapidly as
possible with all improvement and con-
StruCtiOn work, and purchase of new equip
ment. SURVEYS have been made for two
new Cut-otlS of respectively t. and p miles
each. the former of which will effect a saw
ing of from 40 to 80 miles in length of haul,
and the latter, just above Pittsburg, will re-
duce the time between Chicago and that city
by nearly an hour.
THE former must mean the cutoff

thing more cheering to workers and
