Sheriff's Fees Fixed.

Olympia, March 15.-In an opinion
given to William E. Campbell, prose
cutting attorney of Chehalis county,
Attorney General Bell holds that the
sheriff is entitled to charge so cents
for making certificates when copies
of papers are to be served, and 10
cents folio, no charge to be less than
one dollar, when he prepares the cop
les himself. This ruling was made
upon a request for an Interpretation
of the fee bill law, which is rather
vague in setting forth the sums to be
charged by the sheriff for serving pa

a combination or conspiracy to mOnOp-
olize and had in fact mOnopolized a
substantial part of interstate COM
merce in violation of the second Sec
ton of the Sherman antitrust act;
that thirty-three other companies &C
cused were proved not to be in this
combination.
The court enjoined the principal
company and it's directors from exer-
cising any control over the subsidiary
companies; it enjoined the subsidiary
companies from declaring or paying
any dividends to the principal COM
pany, but not from distributing ratably
to the shareholders of Lne principal
company the stock of the subsidiary
company; it enJoined those found to
be in the illegal combination" from
continuing in it or forming a new
combination by means of aggregation
of the physical properties in the
hands of one member of the combina-
ton, and forbade those in the cOmbi-
nation from engaging in interstate
commerce until the combination was
discontinued.
Counsel for Defense.
The counsel arrayed in defense of
the Standard Oil includes John G.. Mil
burn, of Buffalo, N. Y, in whose home
Mckinley died; D. T. Watson and
John G. Johnson, leaders of the Penn
sylvania bar, and Moritz Rosenthal,
the legal pillar of the Standard Oil in
terests. Of those, Johnson made the
principal argument to the supreme
court in the defense in the tobacco
cAses. The defense has urged that
the corporations, which entered into
the organization of 1899, had not been
competitors since 1879; that the
stockholders of the principal company
were the joint owners of the stock of
the subsidiary companies and had the
right to convey their stock in the lat
ter to the former in trust for them
selves, and congress was without pow
er to restrict their acquisition, their
method of holding or their disposition
of their title to their property or their
use of it; that the corporations whose
stock were invested in the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey are pri-
vate corporations, and not charged
with a public duty, as were the rail-
roads in the Northern Securities case
and that if any restraint of trade re-
suited from the organization in 1899
it was neither direct, immediate nor
substantial.
Decision of Worldwide Interest.
Attorney General Wickersham prob
ably will make the principal argument
to the court in favor of the dissolution.
Frank B. Kellogg, of Minnesota, and
Charles B. Morrison, of Chicago, have
been most active in the preparation of
the case against the defendants. Their
arguments were upheld in the main by
the lower court.
I The business world is awaiting the
outcome of the suit to know what eff
feet it will have upon the future not
only of the Standard Oil, but of other
combinations with points in common.
The department of justice is waiting
for the decision of the court in order
to shape the governments attitude
toward other organizations of which
complaints have been made.

r. SUPPOSE you know all about the stage and
stage people, You We been touched with and by
actors, and you read the newspaper criticisms
and the jokes in the weeklies about the Rialto
and the chorus girls and the long haired tragedans
And 1 suppose that a condensed list of your ideas
about the mysterious stageand would boil down to
something like this
Leading ladies have five husbands, paste diamonds,
and figures no better than your (madam) If they
weren't padded. Chorus girls are inseparable from
peroxide, Panhards and Pittsburg. All shows walk
back to New York tan oxford and railroad ties
Irreproachabe actresses the comic-landlady

aunts on the road Kyrle Beew s real name is Boyle
O'Kelley. The rawlings of John Mccullough in the
pbonograph we're stolen from the first sale of the
Ellen Terry memoirs Joe Weber is funnier than E.
H. Sothern; but Henry Miller is getting older than
he
All theatrical people on leaving the theatre at night
drink champagne and eat Holsters until noon the next
day. After all, the moving pictures have got the
whole bunch pounded to pulp.
Now few of know the real life of the stage peo-
re If we did, the profession might be more over
crowded than it is. We look askance at the players
with an eve full of patronzing superiority-and we
90 home and practice all sorts of eocution and ges
lures in front of looking glasses
Latterly there has been much talk of the actor
people in light. 1t seems to have been divuged
that instead of being motoring bacchanalians ana
diamond hungry loreleiS they businesslke folk
students and ascetics with chider and homes and
libraries owning real estate, and conducting their
private affairs in orderly and unsensatonal man
chariot wheels of the gas, rent, COAL ice and ward
Whether the old or the report of the sockand
buskiners be the true one is a surmse that has no
place here offer you merely this little story OF two
strollers and for proof of its truth can show you
only the dark patch above the cast iron handle of the
stage entrance door of Keetors old vaudeville the
made there by the petulant push of goved hands
too impatient to finger the clumsy thumb latch-and
where last saw Cherry whsking through like swal-
low into her nest time to the minute as usual, to
dress for her act.
The vaudeville team of Hart and Cherry was an in
spiration. Bob Hart had been roaming through the
Eastern and Western circuits for four years with
mixed-up act, comprising monologue, three light.
ming changes with songs, couple of limitations OF
celebrated mitators, and buck and-wing dance that
had drawn glance of approval from the bass-viol
PLAYER in more than one house-than which no per
former ever received satisfactory evidence of
good work.
The greatest treat an actor can have is to witness
the pitiful performance with which all other actors
desecrate the stage. In order to give himself this
pleasure he will often forsake the sunniest Broadway
