LIABILITY OF SELLERS OF
UNWHOLESOME FOOD AT
PUBLIC EATING
PLACES.

The supreme court of Louisiana
recently rendered a decision in
the case Of Doyle VS.. Fluerst and
Kaemer CSC SO. 906) which is Of
interest to everyone who even oc-
casionally dimes in a public restau-
rant. The plaintiff claimed that
he was poisoned from having eat
en- cakes, chocolate with whipped
cream at the defendant s cOnfec-
tionery where refreshments were
served to the public. The court
holds that a seller Of food, such
as chocolate and cakes sold at a
public eating place, is presumed
to know any unwholesome condi-
ON Of the food, and is liable for
damages to a purchaser through
being made i'll on account Of I'M
wholesomeness. It's commonknowl-
edge, to which the keeper of a
public eating place must be held,
that food in which the process Of
decomposition has begun is liable
to make the person who eats it
i'll. The measure of damages sus-
tanned by a purchaser Of food,
who is made i'll through its un-
wholesomeness, is not merely re-
endorsement of the price, but all
damages that were foreseen or
could have easily been foreseen as
likely to have resulted. The
court thinks that 500 was not an
excessive award to a purchaser Of
food for illness resulting from
ptomain poisoning caused by un-
wholesomeness Of the food, where
he suffered intense pain, believed
for two hours that he was in dam
ger of death and suffered an at
tack of jaundice in consequence.

4 RlMAtKBKABLE HISTORICAL
PHOTO-rLlAY.

There are many so-called "hrs'
torical" photo-plays that are his
torical in title only. The sub
jects are but fantasies founded
upon fact but without regard to
accuracy Of the events or cpl
sodes depicted. They may be pic
torial novels but they are hardly
of any educational value. 1t has
remained for the Sellg Polyscope
Co. to make film that would at
once be photographicallp perfect
and historically accurate. Such
a film is the remarkable produc-
ton Of "The Coming of Colum-
bus" This is a three-reel film,
the making of which entailed
years Of research and labor, en-
ployed cast of $50 people and
cost $4,000.
Such records of his voyage and
the discovery Of the Western Hem
isphere as Columbus left were fol-
lowed as closely as possible in the
making Of this wonderful photo
play. Every facility of the great
est motion picture plant in the
world was utilized. The dupli-
Gates of the three caravels, Santa
Maria, Pinto and Nina, which the
Spanish nation had built and pre-
scented to the American nation,
were fitted with sails and made
seaworthy by Mr.. William Selig
and employed in the production.
Even the original log-book used
by Columbus is shown.
The early vicissitudes of Column
bus are depicted. His pleadings
before the Spanish Court, his
final commission to go forth on
his exploration Of the unknown
seas, the incidents of the voyage,
the landing on American soil, the
return to Spain and the great re-
ception are all faithfully por-
trayed by competent actors and
recorded by the camera. There
is not one defect in the entire pro-
duction, which is the grandest
masterpiece in the hosiery of the
motion picture industry. It is
not known definitely as yet,
whether this remarkable three
reel masterpiece can be secured for
exhibition purposes in this city,
but the Elks Theatre is making
every effort and offering large
sums of money to secure this pie
ture for its patrons, May 18th.

publicans and imperialists with every
prospect of an almost complete capitu-
iation of the latter to the republican de-
mands.
The application has revived the fear
that a division of China may be ex-
pected, the north retaining the mo-
narchical form of government and the
country south of YangtZe kiang estab-
lis,ing a republic
Immediate action on the application,
which is believed to come directly
from the provisional secretary Of state.
is not expected.
Nor is there any necessity for hasty
action. even in the interests of the re-
publicans as they control a number OF
ports which would give them free en-
trance to munitions of war. and about
the only purpose to be served by foreign
recognition Of the new government at this
stage would lie in the moral effect OF the
action.
One suggestion that carries weight Is
that the Nanking government desires to
put itself in q position to be able here
after to repudiate any financial obligation
for foreign loans that may henceforth be
contracted by the imperialists.
