RULING ON RIGHTS
 OF PEDESTRIANS

A recent opinion of the Court Of Appeals of New York will be of inter est to automObilists. On January g, 1912, in the case of Baker vs. Cole. the court held that a pedestrian has the same equal right of passage at street crossings as the automobile: that the rule of law requiring person to look both ways, to listen, and If necessary to stop before crossing a steam rail- road at grade has no application to a city street crossing with respect to guarding against danger from auto mobiles. There the right Of passage is common to all, and both fOotmen and drivers of automobiles are bound to exercise reasonable care for their own safety and the safety of others upon the street The court further says
 s'The application of these simple rules to drivers of automobiles is ob- vious. It is a fact of common knoWrI- edge that automobiles traverse our city streets at much greater speed than other vehicles, and yet they are more easily controlled. In crowded centers the danger is proportionate to the speed, and there seems to be no good reason why the care should not be measured by the danger The rule which fixes the rights of drivers of crossings canont be relaxed in favor Of automobiles, for while they are instrumentaIities which afford great D eaSure, convenience and utility to many, they are undoubted sources Of danger to many more The wisdom of carefully observing these simple rules of the road is well illustrated by the case in hand. If the defendants driver had taken the wise preCautfoa to check his speed at this crossing. or even to slightly change his course. the plaintiff would probably not have been injured, for the evidence is conclusive that she had all but eSca ped when she was caught by tn running board on the farther side of the automobile ''

New Orleans, La, Feb. 1S-Dving in agory, with many symptoms that re- sembled rabies, Annie Deris. 16 years old, was pronounced a victim of her own fears. last night. The girl died in the Charity Hospital yesterday morning.

 At tho tiroe she showed no alarm ing symptoms, but stories of other persons dying of hydrophob seem to have worked upon her nerves. Re gently she had been a victim of hyS- teria, and several days ago became so i'll she was taken to the hospital. In her delirium she constantly exhihdted sym ptoms similar to tFose of persons with rabies. as described in articles she had read.

Any, Davenport Makes Address To
 State Bar Here

Attorney Daniel Davenport of this city was the principal speaker before the meeting of the Connecticut state Bar associa tion, held in the Superior court chambers of the county court house here yesterday afternoon. About 40 members of the association were present and the meeting includ- ed the annual election of officers, and wound up with a banquet at the Uni VerSity club.
 MT. Davenport's talk was largely eX- temporaneous and dealt with matters pertaining to the judiciary lie Hee sketched the growth of our system Of government and the parts played in 1t by the courts. Then he touched upon the question of whether or not the supreme court of the United States has right to nuIlify congressional legislation and called attention to the fact that there is a very large and rapidly growing group in the United States whose members answer No" most decidedly to this question.
 The speaker also said that there is a movement now afoot to take certain contempt powers from the courts. put he does not believe that this will hold, and declared that the contempt DOW CTS are vested in the courts by the national constitution
 Attorney Davenport said that the little justice cases. after all are the ones from which the law of the coun- try is derived. He cited an instance in which an apparently trivial suit between the Stamford street railway and the city of Stamford. tried out as a justice case with the late MT. Fes- senden and the late MT. Curtis as the opposing counsel became of such inn portsnce in later years that the Su- prene court read it's law from it in a na tionai crisis.-a great railway strike that tied up the entire West.
 After Mir. Davepport'S talk the re- ports of the IegiSla tive c0ron1ittee of the association were brought in and caused a number of discussions. One report suggested that all judicial ap- pointments shall be inquired into by a committee of the state bar. This matter was continued until the next meeting.
 A proposed amendment calling for the hoding of the Supreme court in one place only. subject to emergencies struck an unresponsive chord and was downed. A number of technical legal recommendations were discussed
 The meeting then adjourned to the University club where an excellent hanquet was discussed. Martin W Littelton of New York, who was to have been a speaker. could not be present and in his place the Hon. Bourke Cochran of New York was SC cured. when he had finished at the Chautauqua meeting. Fred Traver Hill of New York and Charles w BOsworth of Springfield. Mass, were the other speakers at the bar banquet

It was during the excitement over

that the stateroom-tenants slipped in
unobserved.
First came a iuttering woman
whose youthful beauty had a certain
hue Of experience, saddening and
wisering. The porter brought her in
from the station-platform, led her to
the stateroom's concave door and
passed in with her luggage. But she
fingered without, a Peri at the gate
Of Paradise. When the porter re-
turned to bow her in, she shivered and
hesitated, and then demanded:
"Oh, porter, are you sure there's no
body else in there?"
The porter chuckled, but humored
her panic.

The Masked Minister.

Being an angel must have this great
advantage at least, that one may SIT IN
the grandstand overlooking the earth
and enjoy the ludicrous blunder OF
that great blind mans buff we call
life. =
This night, IL any angels were
watching Chicago, the Mallory nix.up
must have given them good laugh,
or a good cry-according to their na:
lures. 's'
Here were Mallory and Marjorie,
still merely engaged, bitterly regret
ting their inability to get married and
to continue their journey together.
There-in:t The cara.were the 'giggling
Conspirators preparing bridal mock
cry for their sweet confusion. !
Then the angels might have nudged
one another and said: ~
ooh, it's:all right now. There goes
the minister hurrying to their very
car. Mallory, has the license in his
pocket, and here comes the parson.
Hooray!"
And then the angelic cheer must
have died out as the one great hurrah
Of a crowded background is quenched
In air when the home teams vitality
needed home run swerves outside the
Line and drops useless as p stupid foul
ball. >; ....a-
In q shabby, old hack, were two OF

They had been married, for thirty
years. Yet this was their real honey
moon, their real elopement.
The little woman in the timid gray
bonnet clapped herihands and Uttered
like schoolgirl.

THE COUNTY CANDIDATES AT
ORANGE SPRINGS

Just after daylight Monday morn
ing the candidates for county office
began gathering at the Ocala North.
ern depot to take the early train to
Orange Springs, where the county
democratic executive committee had
decreed that the campaign should
open for 1912.
Roll call showed that all were pres
ent, except Mr.. d. NJ. Barco, candi-
date for supervisor of registration,
and the candidates from the commits
sioners' district, other than the one in
which the meeting was to be held
the fifth.
When the train arrived at Orange
Springs two citizens were in sight,
and these seemed to be surprised at
so many people visiting their burg at
one time. Though the announcement
had gone out that the candidates
would speak there on that day, the
people in that section are too busy at
this time of the year, and did not put
in an appearance, except as business
called them in during the forenoon.
The wary candidates, however. not
to be outdone, each went on still
hunt around the town and communi
ty, telling those whom they found OF
their many qualifications for the Of
fee to which they aspired
The candidates were more or less
disappointed at not finding any prep
arations for the proposed speaking
but all left Marion county's coming
pleasure resort in splendid spirits, as
those of the voters who had been in
terviewed treated them with the ut
most courtesy and attention while
they privately presented theil
claims.
