WHAT CONSTITUTES A SUB.
SCRIBER7


A court decision has lately been
rendered in Massachusetts on what
constitutes a subscriber.
The Judge firmly believed that q
man who received the paper, although
he never subscribed for It, Is entitled
to pay. James Thompson moved,
and William Robinson took imme.
date possession, and received and &C
cepted a weekly newspaper that was
delivered to him through tho mails
every week. The goodnatured editor
sent accounts frequently. but no at
tention was paid to them by Mr.. Rob-
inson. Finally there was q day of
reckoning. Robinson had received
the paper for some time, he informed
the collector, but he said that he
never subscribed and declined to pay
for 1t. The Judge personally ques-
toned the defendant, who said that
he read and made use Of It and was
receiving the accounts, which were
frequently enclosed in the paper.
Judgment was rendered in favor Of
the newspaper.
The Judge was severe in his criti-
cism Of people who are receiving pa
pers and do not think It worth while
to pay for what they receive and
make use Of 1t as an act Of dishon-
esty, he said one should acquaint the
publisher and pay for what numbers
he receives.-X.

societies in the country both in num-
bers and finance. DR.. Williams is q
native Of Forest City, Ark.
At the commencement Of the Forest
City public school in 1880 young VIII
liams received his diploma, but he felt
that he was not educated, but just
ready to study; hence in the fall he
entered the Arkansas Baptist college
In Little Rock, under Professor J. A.
sire to be a great man or to do some
thing in life that would count. He re-
NAMED in the college and graduated
In 1896 with honors.
Feeling that there was higher work
to be performed by him, he found his
way to Meharry Medical college, Nash
vile. Tenn, expressing there a desire
to be a medical doctor. He passed the
examination and was admitted to the
ollege. His wonderful ability attract
the attention Of the dean Of the de-
partment and the faculty in general.
Meharry has turned out many able
physicians. and the class Of 1902 Ia
considered a historic one. because
many young men Of the class have
won fame in their profession. DR..
Richard A. Williams is a member of
that famous class.
1t was in May Of 1905 that Dr. VIII
liams moved his Office and all Of his
belongings to Helena, where he enjoys
the distinction Of having one Of the
largest practices in this section of the
country.
During the month Of August, 1909,
DR.. Williams called together number
Of friends and after long conference
with them organized the Royal Circle
Of Friends and instituted the first sub
ordinate branch in Helena, Sept. l. 1909.

has been the growth of the order until
today there are $50 subordinates. with
a membership Of $1,000. and 400 juve-
nile lodges, composed Of boys and girls.
with q membership Of 1000.
The order is composed of doctors,
lawyers, merchants, editors, stenog-
raphers, bookkeepers. bankers. drug
gists, dentists. professors, college pres
idents, teachers. farmers, preachers,
printers-in fact, every line Of trade.
business or profession followI by the

Education Is held prominent as one
Of the features Of the order.
1t Is believed that In order for the

must furnish thinkers. 1t Is main
tained that thoughtless race is use
less race. and 1t is also criminal race
hence the Afro Americans are urged
to educate their children In order to
make them men and women Of
thought.
Since the organization Of the Royal
Circle Of Friends 100000 has been
paid to widows and orphans by the en-
dowment department. In this way

of Action Against Jackson.

Tho suit OF Thomas +. Lahaney against
BENJAMIN r. Jackson for alienation OF
Mrs. Lahaney's affections was discon-
,inued yesterday I'm the Supreme Court.
before Justice Weeks. owing to the i'll
ness OF the principal witness for the
plaintiff. a woman. who has been suffer
ing from hysteria and heart disease. and
who. n physician said. might not be able
TO stand the strain OF testifying.
Counsel for Jackson opposed the dis
continuance. as the defendant wanted OPP
portunlty TO disprove the allegations made
by I.ahaney, and prevent an injustice be-
ing done Jackson and Mrs. Lahaney.
Jackson has replied TO Laaaney's charges
and wants a chance to prove the truth OF
his answer.
The Tribune said yesterday that Jack
son. according to the complaint OF La
haney. had enticed the plaintiffs wife
from him and rented an apartment for
her I'm Simpson street. The Bronx. Court
records show that Mrs. Lahaney left her
husband, who had been unable 10 support
her. and went to the home OF Jackson as

md as housekeeper in the Jackson home.
Jackson had occupied the house several
wears prior to the time that Mrs. Lahaney
was employed there and still lives in the
Simpson street house with his family.

the Supreme Court yesterday that former
Justice Henry A. Gildersleeve of the Su-
preme Court and now an official referee

The proceeding was a motion by counsel
for the Northern Bank for trial by jury
OF n suit brought by +. Augustus HeinZe
which had been sent to Mr.. Gilderseeve
for hearing. The attorney said that the
referee had been operated on, and because
OF his age. being seventy-three years. his
early recovery was doubtful.
Counsel for Heinze said the case was
sent TO Mr. Gildersleeve a year ago. and
the move OF the Northern Bank was only
to get the case away from the referee. 1t
