Ever on the qui vive to take ad-
vantage of members who stray
from the narrow path, even though
such estray amounts to mere triv-
iality, the judicial committee of
the British house of commons has
dug up an old law which it declares
applicable to the case of Sir Stuart
Montague Samuel, radical member
from London. The firm with which
this member is associated purchased
silver for the Indian government
while acting as it's agent, and the
ancient law which covers the trans
action specifies that, under such cir
cumstances, the member must va
cate his seat. Hence Sir Samuel
will be compelled to retire, which
is exactly what the committee de-
sired.

neighbors believe that William Taylor.

save a helpless companion. His body
and that of Harry Miller, ten yaers old,
were found in a millpond close to tho
bank to-day.
The boys were gathering water lilies

was cripple and the relative position OF
the sunken craft and the posture OF the
boys indicated that Taylor. who could
swim. had supported his playmate until
within a few feet OF safety when his
strength failed.
