In such case it is encouraging to have
a judge to suggest that such verdict
for damage as the above is too con-
temptible to be entertained And yet
four of the different verdicts which
precede are nearly as bad or worse and
this would appear to be the influence of
wealth in reducing verdicts. For it is
inconceivable that any jury could value
the life of boy at six cents.

1.-THE question of the value of child s
life, which has baffled more juries and
judges than almost any other recurrent
legal problem, is again at issue in
Bridgeport, Conn, where Judge George
w. Wheeler, of the Superior Court, yes
terday twice refused to accept from a
jury verdict of $500 for the life of a
fourteen-year-ol boy.
"Charles Mccain, of Greenwich, sued
Peter Mcclure, chauffeur for Julian w.
Curtiss, of New York, alleging that
Mcclure had caused thu death of his
son.
"a year ago last fall, the Mccain boy
was riding on the rear of wagon, when
Mcclure came up behind in the Curtis
automobile. The boy thought the car
would hit the wagon, and jumped to the
street Mcclure gave the machine
sudden swerve to avoid hitting another
vehicle and one of the lamps caught
the boy and hurled him to the roadway
in such a manner that his neck was
brokeo
"Mr. Curtis, who is connected with the
Spaulding Company, appeared in court
during the two days of the trial with
his chauffeur.
yesterday the jury after brief con-
sideration of the case, returned a ver-
dict of $500 damages for Mccain.
Judge Wheeler promptly declared
that the verdict was not sufficient
that the life of boy of fourteen was
worth more than $500 and sent the jury
back to reconsider their decision. They
again returned a $500 verdict on it.
The judge ordered it set aside, thus vir-
tually declaring a mistrial."

List of Teachers.

Chief Thor has announced that
from now on the curfew law will be
strictly enforced and youngsters of
the prescribed age must keep off the
streets and be at home by o'clock.

girls on thes streets at night. Now
that school sessions have been re-
sumed and there will be something
to occupy the children's attention and
keep them busy evenings, the curfew
regulations will be rigidly adhered to,
and woe unto the child found wan

Tonight will take place one of the
biggest political rallies Of the year. I'm

All are speakers of the highest merit
and to hear even one of them is an
oratorical treat not to be overlooked
when four such men appear together
on the same platform and deliver adj
dresses setting forth the reasons why
the upper peninsula's favorite son
should be nominated for governor, il
is an opportunity that will doubtless
attract crowd that will tax the ca
pacity of the hail. The Quincy band
has been engaged to furnish the mu-
sic, and the rally will conclude the
primary campaign in a blaze of glory
and a whirlwind of oratory.
The local Osborn club, which has
