Able editors in Indiana are just now engaged in p intmg out to Judge Francis £ Baker, of the United States circuit court, how grieviously he erred in construing the law inwifh reference to mumcipal ownership. Judge Btkere ability as a lawyer and jurist is generously admitted, but his conclusions and bis interpretation of the law are unmercifully lampooned. The press is all-knowing and all-poweifuL Judge Baker should have thought of this when he constructed his opinion.—South Bend Times. Pay Up. We are mailing statements to all whose subscriptions to the Daily Democrat have expired. The statements are being sent with a view of settlement, and we hope that promptness will lie exercised by those receiving these reminders Ponies at the Fair.

the morning a hot bath in the Eng link |»ortab!e tin bath tub For it all we ]«id five shillings (11.20; a day. Mrs. Ford was so Bice to us, and asked us each meal what we wan tel to eat. She waited on the table. o*B 811 her own work. She said that during "term” her husband waits on the table She old us many interesting thing about the colleges. They are very strict about the sanitary conditions where students board. Those she bad last year, “our young men," she called them, had been with her three or fonr years and are coming back next year They had left Saturday night. Before going she had entertained bv giving a little musicale in their rooms, and she had not yet taken down their decorations, which we thought looked rather pretty, but she didn't admire them. Their piano, books, pictures, etc, were all there yet. Margaret was surprised that the occupant of the Bitting room had left so many photos I told her I was sure they were hie sisters, his cousins and his aunts, bis sweetheart's pictures he would take with him. And so it proved, for Mrs. Ford told us who many of them were. When you come over next year I want you to arrange for a week in Oxford- It is so pleasant in every way. The academical atmosphere is charming. Os course we could not visit all the twenty one colleges, but we saw all, and visited a dozen of the moat famous. Thursday afternoon we came here. Are staying in a private i»oarding house. A quaint old place with comfortable accommodations. Yea terday we spent at Stratford Shakespeare's birthplace, his school house, bis grave in the church, the memorial building, his statue, a memorial fountain and clock and I dont' know what all else they show you. connected with bis name. Oh, yes, I saw a copy of the first folio edition of bis works printed in 1623, and bought a few years ago for over 125,000. The village is very pretty and quaint in ‘he old part. It has over 3000 inhabitants. Thia morning we wenr by train and electric car to Kenilworth. Then drove a mile to the castle. It is all in ruins, but so much remains that one can gain a good idea of what it

was fin its grandest days under' Lord Leinestet, eajtecially if you nave read Scott's "Kenilworth." j A guide took a party of us about the place and iaentifled the parts mentioned in our guide bo >ks. It was originally built about 1120 by Henry I. Later it passe t into other hands. In 1362 it carue by marriage t« John of Gaunt, who added extensively to it and the part he built still shows solid masonry. After thrt it passed to the crown, and 9ueen Elizabeth gave it to her favorite, the Earl of Leicester. He rpent 1300,000 in enlarging and beautifying it, and in 1575 entertained the queen there for nineteen days. Scott's tells about it beautifully in his novel of "Kenilworth.” On guide who took the party about the place, showed the dungeon where Robert Bruce was confined and another where the Duchess of Gloucester was placed for two years on a charge of witchcraft. You remem her we had ths story last year in our Shakespeare's Henry VI, part 2nd. But the chamber Amy Robsait occupied and the place in the garden where she met yueen Elizabeth, and the room where the queen i demanded the explanation from Leicester, seemed to interest him most. I think Scott’s tale of these historical- events has peopled these old places for us with a living interest. In ths town the people point out a room in a little notel,: where be wrote the first draft of ‘ Kenilworth.” Amy Rjbeart was killed at Wood.t >ck near Oxford, and is buried at Oxford. Leice*ster poisoned bis second wife ami tried to poison the third, but she found it out and escaped. She lived forty-two years longer than he, and this afternoon we visited the church I here in the town of Warwick, and saw their tomb which she had erected. She there Jcalis him "the dearest and best of bu»band».” Life size stone effigies of each are placed on the tomb. This after, noon we also visited Warwick castle which is close to the side of the town It is one of the finrst feudal residences in England, and dates from Saxon times. It still belongs to the Earl of Leicester and is his family residence most ofl the year. It is in perfect order. His

'family is now absent (during the American tonri»t season) and for two shillings apiece anyone can see H. We saw some fine rooms, splen did portraits by old mas’ers. objects of virtue and old armor. It is more interesting within, to me, than any I have visited. The grounds are tine and beautifully kept. This whole region is beautiful and picturesque, but we must move on tomorrow We leave at V:2sa m for the Lake district, where we want to spond Sunday j 10,IO, I forgot to mention the jieacocka | on the lawn at Warwick castle. They seemed quite in keeping with the scene The wall around the castle is in perfect condition, but the moat is empty and planted with flowers We have had our mail sent to Edinburg Hope to hear ; from you there. We keep well and hope you all do too. Love to all. Yours affectionately, Hattie Studabaker NOTICE.
