Marriage to Excess.

New York Globe.
Marriage may become habit just
drink, or tobacco, or grouchiness. Mark
Twain was therefore we'll within the
proprieties when he warned the young
ladies of st. Timothy's School, at their
commencement exercises, to avoid mar
rage to excess. Habit-eVeryone
knows what habit will do 70 a per-
son. Habits soon monopolize the
man." says Professor SantaYdna. When
woman once gets the habit of mar
rying the monopoly is something aw-
full. It hits her forty ways.

A QUEER DECISION.

The papers are telling of a some-
what peculiar libel case recently de-
cided by one of the lower courts of
England. the decision being after
wards sustained by the highest court
of the kingdom. The case Is not mere
ly peculiar In itself. but is important
In view Of the bearing ii may have on
the question of libel suits In England
In future.
The story, as we find 1t briefly told
in = contemporary, is of the CORES
pondsnt OF . Manchester paper. who
sent from Dieppe, In France. an ac-
count Of some motor races. wishing to
portray a composite character of the
kind of man who is a sort Of saint
when at home and quite something else
when "out with the boys" and not
desiring to use the name of any real
person. he-hit on the name Artemus
Jones az one that nobody would be
at all likely to claim. and wrote him
up in good style. and not in a quite
favorable HIGHT.
Very much to the surprise of the
correspondent. ss well as to those who
read his sketch. there is a lawyer up
In Wales whose name happens to be
Artemus Jones. and he brought suit
against the Manchester paper for libel
He stated at the trial that he did NOT
charge that the correspondent knew
OF him. and intended to Islander him,
but declared that his friends thought
ne was the man alluded to. and that
he had been actually siandered. The
court took that view of 1t and award
ed him damages amounting to about
nine thousand dollars. OF the further
proceedings The Boston Traveller saws.
Wnen the case came before the
higher court. II was sustained by the
lord chief Justice and Lord Justice Far
this the English law of libel. Lord
justice Moulton In a very scholarly mi-
nority decision said that the decision
n Tsmanae q mir him Of the absurdity ex-
tbs magistrate solsmnly warned the
prisoners that any statement you max Q
VIII be taken down, altered and fused
English law Of libel. 1t must be shown
that the writer meant and intended
70 write of aud concerning" the party
libelled.
1t will strike the average layman,
we think. that the scales of justice
were badly strained when that decis-
lon was rendered. and also that Mr..
Justice Moulton had ample grounds for
his somewhat oontemptuous allusion to
the findings of the court. Neverthe-
less that must be taken as the law of
libel In England until 1t Is set aside
or amended. Under that decision a
man might be severely and Justly criti-
sised by newspaper for something ha
had done and no harm result. but an
other man OF the same name might
sue and recover damages on the plea
that his friends thought him the per-
son referred to and that he had been
libeiled. In fact. II we properly under
stand the import and bearing of the
decision, 1t will be danSerous-nnan-
ciaIly. at least-for an English news
paper to use the name of any person
in the way of unfavorable criticism,
lest all who bear that name institute
libel suits and make, It very unpleas-
ant for the owners and managers of
the sheet. We rather think the Eng
fish Judges have become infected by
the reform microbe that is Just now
trying to upset things and people.

BOND ISSUE DEFEATED.


City School Building.
Athens, June 17.-(Special. )-The
election to decide whether Athens
should issue $4,000 for the purpose of
building a city school building was
held yesterday and when the polls
closed 143 votes had been cast, a very
small vote. OF this number 102 were
against the bonds being issued. while
forty-one voted favorable to the issue.
The people of Athens felt that with
a magnificent $4,000 building standing
idle that 1T was folly to further en-
cumber the city with additional debt
for another building. The friends of
the measure were very much put out.
If there had been full vote the meas
ure would have been defeatd by a ma
jority of more than three to one, but
the people saw how it was going and
did not turn out very well.

Frankfort, Maine, June 1T.-Judge
whitehouse, OF the Maine Supreme
Court today appointed former Cover
nor William T. Cobb. of Rockland, re-
ceiver for the Mount Waldo Granite

and Brother of New York.
This move follows the appointment
in New York last week of receivers

a large bearing on Maine granite in

Thackeray's "Jeames.n

The fashionable reporter" (Mr R. F., of the Post was familiar figure al weddings and receptions in the forties and fifties, and Thackeray always spoke of him as "Jeames" and voided the vials of ridicule on him and his works. "Jeames" avenged himself by carefully leaving Thackeray's name out of all his lists. Jeames" had one direful experience. When Prince Al bert went to the Isle of Wight to in. spect Osborne the fashionable re. porter" managed to get on board the royal yacht before she left Cowes When the boat was halfway across the Solent the presence of a stranger on board was detected, and he was in terrogated by one of the suit. Jeames announced his professional position and was informed that he had been guilty of an unwarrantable intrusion. He was forthwith bundled into a small boat which was attached to the yacht. and as the sea was rough he was drenched to the skin in T lew minutes. When the yacht arrived at Portsmouth the tide was low, and Jeames was pull ed out of the boat and compelled to wade to the shore through the mud as best he could. London Truth.

California's rejection of the bill pro- viding for the segregation of Japanese school children, the most offensive to Japan of all the proposed Anti-Japan- csc legislation, marks the probable end of the Pacific coast agitation which, at one time, threatened to break off the friendly relations between the two countries. The so-called "gentlemens s agreement" under which Japan agreed to restrict emigration to this country and which has actually reduced the to- tai of arrivals heavily, will now be giv- en continued and fair test.

According to an East Hampton cor respondent of the Courant, particu- larly mean case of State police meth ods was revealed in the recent trial of a druggist there for alleged illegal disposal of liquor. According to the story, the officer secured evidence by trading on the fact that he had been fellow student with the druggist al the Connecticut Agricultural college and was sick, in this way obtaining a gift of some liquor. On the ground that even a gift without a prescription is violation of the liquor law, the druggist was convicted and fined.

to have the taximeter driven by the front feel The object of the latter is, of course, to prevent the distance skidded by the rear wheels being reg istered by the taximeter. Deep opposition has arisen in Michi- gan to the proposition of State High way Commissioner Earle, thar the Legislature impose tax of ten cents per horsepower per year on automo- piles for road purposes. Inasmuch as
 there are more automobiles marufac-
 tured in Detroit and Michigan than in similar area in the country, and in- asmuch as the makers and owners are called upon to bear their portion of the good roads appropriation, in addition to the proposed tax, motorists feet that they are already doing their share.
 An expert motorist declares that stiff valve springs may close the valves with so much force as to break the heads from the stems, or they may break the stems at the key slots. Springs too weak to hold the valves on the cans will make the engine weak at high speeds, and will produce clat- tering, owing to belated seating of valves. It would be remembered in this connection that an excessively stiff spring. even if it does not injure the valve seat by the constant ham mering action, is consuming, power which would be better expended in driving the car.
 Rapid work on the draft of a uni form automobile law is being made by the commissioners appointed by New York, New Jersey and Connecti- cut for that purpose. It provides that the fees imposed shall be in lieu of taxes on private motor vehicles, that nonresident motorists shall be ex- empt from registration, provided they have been registered in their home State, and that mo person shall oper- ate motor recklessly or at rate of speed greater than is reasonab ble and proper, having regard to the width, traffic and use of the highway, or so as limb of any person."

TWO VERY NOTABLE MEN.

E To-day is the tooth anniversary of the birth of both Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin, the one accredit- ed with the preservation of the Union and the liberation of the slaves and the other with discovery of the theory of evolution. Lincoln's first idea was not freedom for the slaves: that was adopted as a means to an end, the con- tinued existence of the American Un- ion Darwin's purpose was purely scientific, designed to free the minds of mon from the thraldom of error as to the origin of the human species. When Lincoln was delivering those re- markedly notable campaign speeches in 1889 which elected him to the Presi- dency, Darwin was publishing his book, Origin of the Species" The purposes of the two men differed so widely that it is exceedingly difficult to draw a satisfactory parallel between them, ex- cept chronologically. As Appleton's for February says, America is proud of Lincoln; England ought to be, and some day will be proud of Darwin"
 While conceding the greatness of Lincoln as man and as President, ex- ception may be taken to the growing custom of naming him "the first Am erican,v for that characterization has these many years been given to George Washington who not only won the war of independence under very adverse conditions but also guided the new born republic to safe and permanent establishment. Exception may also be taken by some to the characterization of Lincoln as "the greatest of Ameri- can Presidents" upon the ground that washington was the greatest in execu- tive ability, Jefferson in constructive statesmanship and Grant in military achievement. But comparisons are ever odious. Why not give to each of the four mentioned full credit for what he did, and reserve decision upon their relative merits?

WAR OF DIFFERENTIATION
ON HILL MEN?

Nothing more surprising could have occurred than the sudden and totally unexpected interjection of Senator Brandegee's influence into the contest over the Bridgeport City court appoint ments, in favor of the "Old" Republi- can slate. Rumor says that the Sen ator has made this move in order to aid Sheriff Hawley who really secured his reelection and who, as county boss had undertaken to settle the City court question in favor of the "Olds."
 If the "Younss' were all for Hill, and the 'sOlds" all for Brandegee, in the Senatorial contest, the situation would be comprehensible. Was such the fact? If so, the bottom motives of both Brandegee and Hawley could be easily conjectured. The matter could be classed as mere development of the war of revenge which began with the rejection of Postmaster Allen of Middletown by the Senate and IS now hanging ominously over the fu- tures of Postmasters Marigold and Roraback
 Evidently, Senator Brandegee has shaken of the incidence with which he was charged by the Hartford Cou- rant, and has become very busy man, though not in the constructive states mansl1ip which is the high duty of U. s. Senators. He has made "a new departure" for Senators by interfering in purely city affairs and by presum- irp to name cfty officials Hitherto, Senators have limited their activities to Federal of1ces, nominations to which come before the Senate for conf1rma- ton. will this rampant Senator now extend his sphere of discipline and re- venge to county. city, probate district, etc., affairs and make war upon every FIill man found in office or aspiring thereto? h 1t a war of exterrnination
 Perhaps Senator Brandegee as the new state boss, and Sheriff Hawley as the Fairfield County boss, may yet de- cdie to settle the harbor line and wa ter works questions for Bridgeport. If so. it would not be difficult to deter mine in advance what positions they would take.
 Seriously, Is not this matter of inter- ference in city affairs by Senator and 'Sheriff being carried over-far? They are rneddling in matters which do not directly concern them and are not call- ed for by their legitimate duties.
