WON'T COLLECT COIN

fendant was justified in what he had
done. The plaintiffs now allege that
the defendant agreed to pay them for
their services in carrying out the ven.
ture.
Il am Of opinion that the agreement
alleged is Illegal, being contrary to
public policy, and that no action is
maintainable upon 1t. And this for
two reasons: % The spectacle of two
ladies being peremptorily and brusque-
ly treated might we'll have aroused In
terlocution on their behalf and led to
serious breach of the peace. (2) The
invocation of court of law to punish
an offense which, to the knowledge of
the parties had not been, even tech
nically committed, was In the nature
OF fraud on the administration of
justice. ! therefore dismiss the two
actions, and leave each party to pay
his own costs.
I'm case Of a successful appeal
against this decision, and to save the
expense Of a second hearing, will
state what otherwise would have been
my decision. find that the defend
ant did agree to pay the plaintiff
9105; that the defendants setoff is
valid. and ! should have given judg-
ment accordingly for the defendant
with costs. find the defendant did
agree to pay Mrs. Damn 952 los, and
| should have given judgment for her,
with costs"

Does Your Cat Couch?

Poor pussy! AS If the immemorial
charges against her of keeping us
awake o. nights and of eating canary
birds whenever she gets the chance
were not enough, the doctors have
Just discovered that for years she has
been responsible for the spread OF
diphtheria. DR.. G.. j. Awburn of
Manchester. England, having traced
an epidemic of this disease in a sub
urb of that city to pet cat belonging
TO one of his patients, has found, after
much clever Investigation, that all
cats are peculiarly susceptible to
diphtheritic affections of the throat.
He has therefore recently been warn.
ing all families who own cats to
watch them carefully, and, If they de-
velop coughs, to forbid their being
hugged and petted. DR.. Awburn fur
ther recommends that If the cough
persists and the cat begins to grow
thin 10 have the animal destroyed at
once. The only really safe way, he
says, is to let the first wheeze be
pussy's death warrant.

SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR

my mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for 1t had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite Of what they both did. One
day her niece came In and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did 1t no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scalding of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for. an old lady
of seventy-four.
my own case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then l thought l would flee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. l did for four or
five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun

English Court Refuses to Aid The
atrical Press Agent.
Faxed Expulsion Of Women Who In
sisted on Wearing Big Hats In
Theater Called by Judge a
Fraud on Justice.

London.-Britlsh courts OF Justice
must not be exploited for the pur-
poses Of advertisement. This legal de-
cision was given in case brought by
Thomas Lumley Damn, press agent,
against Frank Curzon, the theatrical
manager. The evidence revealed the
remarkable manner in which the pub
lie was "spoofed" over a certain matt
nee hat incident which occurred at the
Prince OF Wales theater in London
some months ago. This incident was
manifestly a fake to all those who are
initiated into the ways of theatrical
advertisement.
Mr.. Damn in his action claimed $500.
which he alleged was the sum Mr..
Curzon agreed to pay him for arrang.
Ing the affair, while Mrs. Damn who
assisted her husband In the affair.
claimed 1892 in payment for her SER
vices. Mr.. Curzon admitted that he
agreed TO the incident being arranged,
but denied that he agreed to pay these
sums.
The Judgment OF Judge Woodfall.
who tried the case, explains the ma.
ture of the incident He said:
In the early part of this year, when
the plaintiff was employed by the de-
fendant as his press agent, he sug-
gested to the defendant that It would
be an excellent advertisement both for
the theater and for the defendant as
manager, II the following scheme were
carried out Two ladies' and a gentle
man were to be engaged, the ladies
were to occupy two stalls and to wear
ultra-fashionable hats. The gentleman
was to occupy a stall Immediately be-
hind them, and during the fall OF the
curtain peremptorily demand of them
that they should take their hats off.
THE ladies' we're to refuse, and the
gentleman to urgently and audibly in.
sist, and the disturbance was to attain
such proportions that the defendant
should be sent for and invite the trio
outside In the corridor. and demand
of the ladies that they should remove
their hats or leave the theater; that
the ladies' should resist the demand
that defendant should thereupon eject
them by technical assault of laying
his hand on the shoulders of one OF
them; that the ladies' should leave and
summon the defendant before a magis-
trate for the assault and that the de-
'endant should plead the right to
protect the convenience of his audi
ence.
THE defendant consented. and the
scheme was carried out In every de
tall, the price Of their seats-which
they had not paid for-was ostensibly
returned to the ladies. and in pursu
ance Of the plot they proceeded to
summon the defendant for assault

CHILD IS BORN APE
Lecturer Explains Working of Bi-
ogenetic Law.
Elueldates Many Strange and Absurd
instincts That Come and Go Dur
Ing Human Infancy, Child.
hood and Adolescence.

Chicago.-J. Howard Moore told
members of the Socialist league a
lot about babies the other night. Mr..
Moore discussed The Biology of the
Child" at meeting which was held
at 100 Washington street
There is a law in biology called
the biogenetic law. 1t was discoy.
cred by Haeckel. 1t is one of the
most important laws of the organic
world. 1t is this: Each organism IN
its individual development repeats
the life history of the race to which
it belongs
mo being comes into the world full
grown. Every being goes through the
performance of what is called growing
before 1t Is complete organism.
Every being commenced as a small,
simple and rather shapeless bit Of
protoplasm. The gulf between this
condition and maturity is bridged in
by longer or shorter series OF
changes in size, form and architec
ture. The remarkable thing about
these changes is that they are strik.
ingly parallel to the changes which
the race has undergone In its evolu-
ton from the beginning of the earth.
THE biogenetic law applies to men
tai phenomena as well as to
physical. Only in the light OF this
law is 1t possible to understand the
many strange and absurd instincts
that come and go during human in
fancy, childhood and adolescence.
1t has been said that the child is
born savage. This is not quite true.
1t is worse than that. Only after
rather long and inglorious prelim-
mary as quadruped Is 1t able to walk
with its pront feet In the air and
rightfully lay claim to the title of
savage"
Mr. Moore said the general ideas of
the child, its conception of itself, and
TALLY the same as those of the savage
narrow, mystical. and naive. The
child believes in ghosts, fairy tales,
magic and miracles, much as the saw
age does.
Among the points brought out by
the lecture were the following:
The human baby antedates the saw
age by several hundred thousand
years.
The child is born ape.
The instinct of the baby to cling to
everything within reach is the instinct
of the monkey.
A stick in the hands OF baby be-
comes a club.
A baby's attack on the cat is
relic of the club stage in mans de-
velopment.
child's love of camp fire. the
forming of gangs among boys, the de-
sire to stone dogs and SNOWFALL ped.
dlers, and the strong love for bow
and arrow are remnants of the ear
lier man.
