The jury in the court of common pleas which Wednesday heard the suit of Frank A. King vs. George Bind loss, in which King sued to recover lette played in BindIoss' clubrooms, on Thursday morning brought in yer dict in favor of Bindloss. The jury went out at II o'clock and brought in the verdict at 11.40.

 The testimony in the case was con- cIuded Wednesday afternoon, when there were several witnesses for the defendant. Averilfs testimony and the strongly in favor of the defendant.

 This verdict carries with it the di- rection that King pay the costs of the defense of the suit by Bindloss
 It is said that parallel cases are un- der way and will probably be dropped because of the failure of this suit.
 Attorney Hollandersky is to file a motion with the clerk of the court of common pleas for setting aside the verdict. The motion will be based on the claim that the verdict was con trarN to evidence.
 Judge Waller will name a date for hearing arguments on the motion. If the verdict is sustained an appeal will probably be taken.

The Minister Of War has repeatedly en-

GETYES.

quently charged with conspiracy at Bow

are pending it would obviously be improper
to pronounce any opinion as to the euiIr or in

may be SAID without prejudice to the ac-
cused that the Government is taking II 6
night course IN submitting the legality of
their conduct to the verdict of II British
jury. hat The authorities mtend to act

of education and good municipal gov
ernment. Why? Because this concerns
them vitality in their offspring. Was
not this sufficient for any mother or
wife? Is it really necessary that they
desire to reach still farther into the
none too clean field of politics!. And
if SO. what for? What can it possibly
benefit them, as whole, since the men
outnumber them at the polls locally as
well as in State and national elections?
Heaven forefend that we should live
to see the day in this happy land when
political opinions will endanger or even
sever the marital tie, when husband
will oppose wife and vice versa.
One thing is enlphatically to the
credit of our militant women Fighters.
They did not resort to any of the wild
actions and methods used by their Sis
tiers in England, and that alone is held
far more to their credit and speaks
more in favor of their ability for self
restraint and political wisdom than all
the pageants, or parades, or hikes" oi
a decade could have accomplished.

Trend of the Times.

\ news dispatch in the columns of
The Herald from New Haven gives
the vote of the senior class at Yale pub
lishcd in its class book These class
votes arc taken at the end OF the four
year college course, and represent the
carefully collected opinion of the men
as they are leaving college and start
ing out into the world. The class
voted in favor of the Democratic party,
"a; Progressive, Fl, and Republicans,
II, with IS Independents.
The fact that there were more than
twice as many independents in the class
as Republicans and about the same
number as Progressivcs, with more
Democrats than Republicans, independ-
ents, and Progressives combined, is an
interesting fact when it is remembered
that Yale is pre-eminently the national
university, in the sense that it draws
its students from the country as a
whole A more significant fact, and
one which shows the tendency of the
times, is that there were more total
abstainers in the class by 27 than those
who drink. OF the latter beer was the
favorite beverage by over 100 per cent,
and the users of hard liquors were in
large minority. When it i; considered
that college days are supposed to be
the halcyon days of youth, "free from
care and despair, with wine divine" the
fact that a large majority of the Yale
class are teetotalers of choice is an in
teresting indication of the life the STU
dents in our colleges lead, and of the
strong temperance war sweeping over
this country. d
