ward French, superintendent of the
Medfield insane asylum, was within
his rights under civil service rules
when he discharged Jane Bos6eld,
co!ored girl, as stenographer. is
the opinion of Judge Loring of the
supreme court, who dismisses the
girls petition for reinstatement.

position he expressed surprise. and
said that he wished the services of
a white woman Governor Walsh S

was brought to the notice of the
State board of insanity Later on
Miss Bosfeld became stenographer
at the asylum. Z.
DR. French, while denying that
he had any prejudice against Miss
Bosheld on account of her color,
testified that he believed her coming
would lead to trouble among other
employees, aud tend to lessen disci-
pline. He testified that he arranged
that she should take her meals and
have her room in private house
half a mile from the asylum. In a
short time the woman of the house
notified DR.. French that she could
not keep Miss Bosheld any longer.
He then gave her a room in the
chapel, which he admitted was not
far FROM the morgue, with the
understanding that her meals were
to be sent to her on tray. Later.
he said, she insisted on having her
meals in the regular dining room
and for Is or 10 days made repeated
efforts to enter that room at meal
times. He said he thought he had
a right to have employees eat where
he wished. and because of her
alleged insubordination he sent her
a written notice of dismissal.
Charles Williams said that Miss
Bos6eld had been employed by the
hrm of Williams & Williams, and
that they had never had better
stenographer. Attorney General
Brown appeared for DR.. French.

A dispatch from New York says
that Chief Sam, who, with a party
of sixty Negro followers, sailed
from Galveston, Texas, two years
ago, for the gold coast of Africa,
where he proposed to set up a
Negro colony, is held by British
authorities in South Africa on the
charge of manslaughter, according
to the wife of William H. Lewis of
Galveston. who was a member of
the party, and who has just re-
turned to this country. On the
voyage TO the gold coast several of
the passengers and crew died from
scurvy, among them the husband
of the Lewis woman. Upon these
deaths is based the charge of man
slaughter Mrs. Lewis also says
that the natives are apparently
hostile to Chief Sam.

MASONIC DECISION

ANNAPOLIS. Md, Feb. rs The
court of appeals of Maryland has
handed down its decision in the
case of an appeal taken from the
action of Judge Heuisler of Balti-
more by the M. w. United grand
lodge, F. and A NJ. of Maryland.
ct al. Milton R. Lee had sued the
grand loo &c for reinstatement as
member of Enterprise lodge, and
Judge Heuisler decided that Lee on
the facts of the bill of complaint
should be re-instated as a member
of Enterprise lodge. The grand
lodge loses its appeal. The highest
court of the State decides that the
grand lodge had no right to suspend
Lee aud that its grand lecturer had
no right under its constitution and
by laws to prefer charges against
the master of lodge; ttat the
commissioners who attempted 10
hear such charges had no juris-
diction, and that Lee was deprived
of his constitutional right to be
summoned before the grand lodge
at subsequent meeting, and had
been denied his right to defend the
charges by a hearing before the
grand lodge.
The court reviews the constitu-
tion aud organic law of Masonry
and holds that Lee has a right to
require the lodge in court of law
to explain any unwarranted action
by it or any of its officers; that the
grand lodge must show cause for lis
action in 'suspending Lee; that
while courts generally will moi
interfere with the rules by which
members of all organization of this
character agree to be governed i'll
matters of discipline. doctrine, and
internal policy, yet any investiga.
ton of charges for misconduct must
be in accordance with the rules oi
the organization; that in the case
of Lee the grand lodge and officers
instituted proceedings within the
order against him which were moi
conducted in accordance with the
Fundamental law Of the order thai
IN violation of its own rules Lee
had no opportunity to appear and
defend himself before the proper
tribunal, and the court will moi
hesitate to interfere in his behalf
against the invasion of his rights. .
The grand lojge is ordered tc
pay all the costs of the proceedings
and unless it can justify the action
complained of by Lee, the court
will order his reinstatement The
case has excited widespread com
ment, and its decision anxiously
awaited by Masons eager to learn
to what extent courts will afford
relief in such matters,
Binswanger & McGuinn argued
the case for Lee, and Hawkins and
McMecben for the grand lodge.

DECLARE WAR ON SEGREGATION
[sT. LOUIS TIMES, MARCH 2

ST. LOUIS IlMES, MhRSh L.
H. G. Phillips and Geo Vaughn,
Negro lawyers, leaders in move
ment to defeat the two segregation
ordinances, which were passed at
the special election on Tuesday by
a vote of almost three to one, have
announced that they will carry the
fight to prevent enforcement of the
ordinances to the supreme court of
the United States if necessary.
Both ordinances were carried by
almost the same majorities. Ordi-
nance No. /, providing that white
person or Negro cannot become a
resident of block which is occu-
pied entirely by a race of opposite
color, carried by vote of 52,22o
to II SS7 The total vote was
7o,oo7.
Ordinance No. 2, providing that
persons of one race cannot live in a
block occupied by rs per cent. of
the race Of the opposite color, was
carried by slightly smaller majority.
The vote was 81 ,o64 for and I7.8oS
against the ordinance.
Residences now established by a
race Of either color are not affected
by either ordinance. Restrictions
are placed solely upon residence i'll
the future. The ordinances become
effective ten days after passage.
City Counsellor Daues says that
he will enforce the ordinances, and
defend them if court proceedings
are necessary to test their constitu-
tionality.

Nervous Period

This trouble commonly called sick head
hche, Is said to be due to the retention OF
urea In the system. Often 1t is stated that
apoor condition Of the blood Is IA cause OF
these headaches, or that IL IL a nervous
condition; and In certain cases, no doubt
this Is true.
Where treatment Is demanded. It is more
for the pain than anything else, and DR..
A. II. Schellschmidt OF Louisville, has
found anti-kafnuia tablets to give prompt
and satisfactory relief. Rest should be
insisted upon" he says, "and the patient
should 20 to bed, darken the room, and all
the attendants and family should be as
quiet as possible. An emetic will some
times shorten the attack. The bowels should
be keptopen with "Actoids"; a hot bath and
n thorough rundown with n coarse towel,
often give grateful relief. Two anti-kamnia
tablets when the ist signs appear, will
usually prevent the attack. During an at
tack. one tablet every hour or two VIII
shorten the attack and relieve the usual
nausea and vomiting" These tablets may
be obtained at all druggists. Ask for AK
Tablets. They are also uneXcelled for ner-
vous headaches, neuralgia and all pains.

The accession enjoins the public utiI-

with the receivers for the Kansas
Natural Gas company in the manage
ment Of the business of the company.
1t holds that the Kansas Natural Gas
company is doing an Interstate busl-

to the laws of the state of Kansas or
any other state. II holds that 2N
cents per thousand is not compen-
satory rate for gas. and that nothing
less than 32 cents per thousand would
be compensatory.
The receivers are required to giVr
"A bond Of $3.50, 900 as a guarantee that
they will spend at least that amount
in extending the pipe lines, and otnes
betterments that will guarantee All
adequate supply Of gas to consumers.
1t is the intention of the receivers
TO expend at least 100000 in eX-
