LAKE SHORE'S ENGINES

this iioaii is ov ix rossi:ssio. of 3iom:ii i:qi iivii:nt. The A llricr People Furchmie the I"., J. M.-Ilodon IIiiitliieMM .Men .s.kIng for Protection Iti ltn(M. Th Iiko Shore has in the last Tew months made such radical Improvements In the character of its equipments as to excite comment. Vor years this road has been contented with light passenger gines, jj'od runners with light train?, and the fact that their trains were so often turned over to Western connections at Cleveland and Toledo late really had given the road a bad time record, hut now the company has ten of the llne.-t passenger engines run on American roads, the last being received last week. All are now in service, and the transportation departments of the Big Four and the Wabash are certain that hereafter the Lake Shore trains will make schedule time. These engines have a number of interesting features, inasmuch as their boiler capacity is in excess of anything that has yet been built for a locomotive of this type, with the same amount of weight. It wuh required that they should not exceed the total weight of HS.tOi iounds, with a limiting weight of ninety thousand iunds on driving wheels, in order to supply requisite teum for the cylinders (eighteen by twenty-four inches) at ii working pressure of W pounds, it was necessary to have a largo boiler with a grate of sufficient area to afford economical consumption of fuel. In order to come within the limit of weight, east steel and pressed steel were used very largely in the construction of the engines. The driving wheel centers, foot plates, bumper knees, guide j-oke knees, spring pockets, brake castings, and other minor details were made of cai steel, while pressed steel was used for boiler front and, door, cylinder, and steam chest covers, and' dome ring. The Lake Shore recently equipped twelve tirst-cla.3 passenger coaches with wide vestibules. The vestibule extends the full width of th car. and has windows in the ends and also in the doors, the doors extending to the bottom of the sheathing on the side. The stationary steps are covered by a trap door in the floor, which can be opened from the outsiie as well as the inside. Gould vestibules with wide spring-buffers are used, and the opening in the vestibule at the rear of the train is closed by a gate. The first two cars, equipped, are finished outside with the Wagner standard color, have four-wheel trucks, forty-two-inch wheels, and are for use between Uuffalo and St. Louis. The remaining ten are painted yellow, to conform to the Lake Shore standard, and ure for use between Buffalo and Chicago. Southern Bond Currying; Much Corn. The reiort from New York that the trunk lines have determined to abolish the terminal charges in that city is of great interest to tho freight officials in the West. There has for some time been an applica tion before the Interstate-commerce Commission asking that the trunk lines be com pelled to do away with the terminal charge, but now that the roads have granted the demand made on them without waiting for the action of the commission the Western roads are of the opinion that this action would never have been taken If the Ka.-t-ern lines had not found that the competition of the Southern roads was beginning to be so heavy that th?y were compelled to take the action in defense of their own interest. The fact that in the month of Oc tober more corn was shipped from NewYork was something of . an eye opener to the Lastern roads, and the additional fact tnat the shipments of corn from Baltimore for thd month were more than double what they had been for the same month last year, decided the roads to do away with their terminal charge. The Western roads who have felt the competition of the South ern roads most keenly during the last year now think that the hastern connections will wake up to the fact that they must fight hard to hold their traffic against the j Southern roads ami pqrts. and that they will not be slow to help them in the future when they ask for aid in meeting the rates made by the Southern lines on both freight and passenger traffic via New Orleans and other gulf ports. A dispatch from New i ork says: J. F, Goddard. commissioner of the Trunk Line Association, yesterday denied that the trunk line railroads had decided to take a hand in restoring to New York the expc ; grain trade, which in recent years has been shipped via Baltimore and other Southern ports. The diverting of the export grain trade from New York to Southern ports has long been a matter of serious moment to the grain men of this city, and only recently a fcommittce of the Produce Kxchange hied with the Interstate-commerce Commission a complaint against the lines of the Trunk Line Association and the Joint Traf fic Association, alleging that the terminal charges of the roads at this point was responsible for the diverting of the export grain business from New York. The report that the railroads had decided to take ac tion is understood to be due to the fact that . the steamship Kdwin is now taking on a cargo of 2iM00 bushels of corn from an Krle grain elevator in Jersey City. This is the first large shipment that has loaded at a railroad elevator in this vicinity in a number of years, and rhis naturally excited comment and inter st "it is noi ttue," tu d Mr. Goddard to-day. "that the roads of this association have taken any action on the grain terminal charges at this iort. Regarding the differential which makes the: rate from ( hicago to Baltimore on grain 3 rents less than to New York, and to other Sotuhein poits pioponlcnately less, i wou d say the present rates were, decided on sevseveral years ago by a board of arbitration ronsisting of ex-Judge Cooley. of Michigan, formerly a member of the interstate-commerce Commission. V. D. Washburn, of Minneapolis, and the late Allen G. Ihurman, of Ohio. Prior to the fiction of that board there were continual disagreements letween the business men of the different roast cities, and the railroads would be drawn into the quarrels as their interests would make necessary. In fixing upon the present rates the members of the board took into consideration everything hearing on the matter, including the steamship rates from the various iorts. So far as I know, the conditions which existed then have not changed enough to make a change in the rates advisable. 1 he interstate-commerce law Is not violated, as the haul from Chicago to Baltimore is shorter than to New York." The Snfety Appliance Lnvr. A committee representing a number of the large railroads of the country, headed by Receiver John K. Cowen. of the Balti more & Ohio, had a conference yesterday with the Interstate-commerce Commission at Washington to discuss the safety appliance law. The meeting was an informal one and no petition to the commission of any kind was submitted, as was expected. The roads are anxious to have the limit within which all railroads are required by law to equip all their cars, both passenger and freight, with automatic couplers and train brakes extended anv. the object ot tho meeting was to talk over the best means of securing an extension of time. The time now fixed is Jan. 1, ls. The commtttee called attention to a bill now pending in Congress provloing for a five years' extension and a strong effort will be made to secure the passage of the bill. The commission has watched the progress of tho equipment and is cognizant of the Impossibility of the roads completing it bynext January. It is disposed to aid the ron as far as feasible and will, in all likllhood. extend the time materially, though it is not expect d it will permit another live years of preparation. The Cincinnati. Jnekxcu A Mackinaw. It is now thought that the Brice syndicate, which has practically controlled the Clncinantl, Jackson & Mackinaw, has hit upon a plan to solve the financial difficulties which have overshadowed the property for many years and which have rendered it Impracticable to consolidate with any of th Ilnej in the Brice syndicate. The modified agreement and plan of reorganization of the Cincinnati. Jackson & Mackinaw Bailway Company gives the committee authority to divide the property purchased by it into two divisions one including the rahay from Addison Junction. Mich., southward, and the other including the railway extending from Toledo in a westerly direction. If it Is determined to cause one or more corporations to be formed and incorporated the committee shall make proper provision to vest In such one of said corporations as it may select the title of the capital stock of the other corporation. The main corporation holding such title shall issue preferred stock to the amount of (ioj.mo par value and common stock to the amount of J.'.WJ.ltJ par value. The preferred stock shall be entitled to annual dividends, if earned, of 5 per cent, imneutnulattve. The road was suld at foreclosure sa!e yesterday at Van Wert, O.. and purchased by the Brice syndicate, who will no.v reorganize it and make it a part of J the Lake Krie & Western system.

Ilodtoti Vnntw Fnual Knte. New York Produce Kxchange has such a protest over the differential which Baltimore, Philadelphia and The made rates Newport News are allowed that at last the Chamber of Commerce and business men of the bay State have become alarmed lest the New York Produce Kxchange should carry its point and in the end Boston might be affected in rate matters. In the case of the New York 1 'rod tire Kxchange vs. the Baltimoro & Ohio Railroad Company et al. the Boston Chamber of Commerce has presented a petition to the Interstate-commerce Commission asking that in any investigation in the matter of the complaint of the New York l'roduce Kxchange. that no greater rates for the transportation over the lines of the said defendants' roads of flour and grain shipped from Buffalo or joints west thereof to Boston shall be Imposed than now exist, and that the rates shall not be increased proportionately to the rates for the transportation by the said defendant from said places In New York. 4 . TralUc Heavier. One of tho freight officials of the Pennsylvania lines, whose headquarters is at Pittsburg, in speaking of the prospects of a revival in freight traffic following the new year, said that general shipments ana those; of the holiday rush had been very satisfactory during the past few weeks, and the indications for a continued increase were very good. General shipments were growing in volume, he said, an 1 the railroads were looking for a gradual betterment on the general resumption of business after the holldav interruption. Within a very short time he anticipated the roads would be handling suuicient freight to keep the employes pretty well engaged. Such a gradual increase as promised would be welcomed rather than a sudden boom, since the former indicated a permanency of better business and tne latter usually means that it will be followed by u reactio.i. lllKh-Grade Locomotive. The transportation department of the Baltimore fc Ohio Southwestern is proud of Its new locomotives, built after the plans and specifications of the Garstang engine on the Big Four. An official of the road sends a report of several runs recently made on tho Baltimore '& Ohio Southwestern between Chlllicothe and Cincinnati, as follows: Dee. J4, train No. Z, engine No. 05.

Train 31 on the Monon, which makes the, run from Chicago to Indianapolis in four hours and forty minutes, has now Ieen on four months, and no train on the system has reached its destination more regularly on its scheduled lime. Next Sunday the Big Four will run a special train from St. Louis to Cleveland, carrying a theatrical troupe of seventy-one people. The train is scheduled to make the run in ten hours, a half hour to be deducted for dinner at Indianapolis.

The Erie Railway Company will do a good deal this year In the building of new stations. Among those it is proposed to build is a forty-thousand-dollar depot at Pasaiac. N. J., after the plan or the one just contracted for at Jamestown, N. Y. It is reported that the Northwestern is about to build connection between its main line and the .Ashland division at Oshkosh. Wis. The new line will be about twenty miles in lensth. and the building will commence at AileiiVillc, Wis., in the near future. Yesterday was a field day in passenger business at the Union Station, and the outside ticket offices report the receipts from sale of tickets very large. The Knickerbocker express left Indianapolis last night with three sleeping cats, with every berth taken. It is stated that J. B.

Mr. Barnes has been with the Wabash since 1SC2. and since lS'-a nas been superintenuer.; or motive power in the last lew years he has bum company's shops several engines at the which have made good records. W. F. Halstead. general manager of the Delaware, Lickawaniui & Western, has accepted plans lor a handsome building at Scranton. Pa., for the railroad branch of the Young Men's Christian Association. Several hundred railroad men make Scranton their home, and a flourishing railroad branch has grown up at that point. Within h short time a number of changes will take place on the West Shore road. Frank S'.rath, trainmaster of the lines, will retire and go to London. Eng., to take charge of an electric railway in the English metiopolis. F. W. Everett, of the Eastern division, will succeed Mr. Sleath. who In turn will be succeeded by W. McCoy, chief train dispatcher. A gentleman who Is as well informed as any person in legal or railroad circles as to "the affairs of the VaiuhMia said yesterday that the columns of mutter which have been published in -ome of the papers concerning the length of the receivership were mere speculation, and that ther. was not a railroad official, attorney or judge who could with any precision name the number of months or years which the receivership will cover, as almost dally something comes up to further complicate bringing about an early adjustment of the company's affairs. W. II. Fisher, general passenger anient of the Columbus Cvt Hocking Valley, has taken an Independent position on the llve-thou-sand-mile Interchangeable mileage question and has Instructed his conductors to tear out mileage the same as is done in the case of the one-thousand-mile book, disregarding all rules of the Central Passenger Committee concerning the use of such mileage. Mr. Fisher does away with much ot tie red-tape business by his Instructions lo

conductors, but how Commissioner Donald will like this disregard of rules remains to be seen. In commenting on tb promotion of William Gibson, who recently left the Big Four to take service with the Baltimore & Ohio, the Baltimore Sun says: "Mr. William Gibson, who hai bef-nf acting as assistant to General Manager Greene, of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, will to-morrow become assistant general superintendent of the lines east of the Ohio river. Mr. Greene and General Superintendent Fitzgerald believe that the weight of the operation of the Baltimore & Ohio property lies between the Ohio river and Locust Point. The need of an active, earnest i nd capable assistant to the general superintendent nas been felt for some time and prompted the promotion of Mr. Gibson." The passenger officials at this point are receiving a supplv of orders for Interchangeable u.Ow-mtle tickets, with photograph, to be issued by the Central passenger committee. The tickets are not to be? sold by agents, but obtained from the committee in Chicago after the ticket agent has furnished the applicant one of the blank orders, which must be tilled in by the applicant personally. The application is to be forwarded to Commissioner Donald with W-yy and an unmounted photograph, after which the ticket may be sent to any ticket agent that the applicant may designate. At the meeting of the commltttee to-day In Chicago the question of permitting baggage to be checked on the ticket without securing an exchange ticket from a ticket agent will be considered. The trouble heretofore has been that when baggage was checked on the mileage Itself there was a disposition to check more pieces of baggage than permissible when the checkmen were rushed or careless, while books were loaned in order to have baggage checked.

HALL FULL OF CACKLES OIi:lG OF TUB AWtAIi POILTIIV AMI PFT STOCK SHOW. Pigeon Kihlhit UiieciH 1 1 - Good An Incubator with Eggs Hutching; The Performance of Llonn. The annual show of the Indiana State Poultry and the Indiana Stale Pigeon Associations opened at -Tomlinson Hall yesterday morning1 under auspicious conditions. The display in all lines but one are better than ever made in Indianapolis. The attendance en the opening day far surpassed any in the history of the show. The bench show is not considered as being up to the standard, though some good animals are there. J. Grube's Queen, a pretty pointer, nine months old. was great ly admired by fanciers during the day. She was looked upon. as. the finest dog in the place by everybody, including the judge who made the awards of premiums. Albert Lleber also had a fine large St. Bernard pup which received many words of praise. Mr. Wilkins's display of St. Bernard puppies, as well as his St. Bernard dogs, were the object of the most attention from the general public. Ile.'lias some well-bred animals and will carry away several ribbons in the several classes. Sid Conger was, as usual, a prominent figure about the poultry exhibit. He has sixty fowls on exhibitioti this year, ar.d relieves he will carry away a good share cf tho prize money. His display includes Plymouth Rocks. Leghorns and Co.li4ns. R. M. Gard. of Franklin, is showing a new breed of chickens in the white Plymouth Rock. It is a fine-looking bird and he predicts a great future for it. One of the oest collection exhibits is that made by C. J. Ward, of Irvington. His specialty is Buff Cochins. Jack" Christian, of this city, has three game birds which he thinks are about as fine as ever saw the Inside of a show. He has long made the raising of this class a specialty. The pigeon department is proving attractive to visitors. In the catalogue of this class of pet stock there are no less than two hundred classes, but not half this number ever got on exhibition at one time, and place. The present show, however, includes scores of classes, and the visiter who Is not well informed on the subject becomes bewildered in attempting to understand them. He is told perhaps at one end of the hall by a friend n ho', knows "all about" pigeons that there, Hc fine Egyptian white owl on exhibition, and when tney seek it out it is found to le a peculiar looking pigeon. He then goes in search of the black and white magpie and the attendant points out a pigeon. Again, some enthusiast may dilate upon the wonderful parlor tumblers he saw at' the sho-v, and when he searches about to see this acrobatic ad Htlon to the show he is introduced to som very pretty brown pigeons. . - The parlor tumbler is a remarkable bird. Tumblers which are-frequently seen In the collection of pigeons which every small ly would like to have- are an entirely different class of birds. They Hy about "with the common bird, whose eventful fate is to become, ji victim of the small boy's slingshot or to become a "squab" in some high-class restaurant. They are called "tumblers" for the peculiar manner in which they will make a descent from a high place in the air, ipparently losing all control of their wings and falling a considerable distance, when they seem lb recover and resume their flight ngainJ' The parlor tumbler, however, cannot lly. It has about the same use of Its wings as a game chicken. It Is instinctively inclined to be acrobatic, and with a little teaching will turn Innumerable back summersault at -the bidding of the master. The one that can make the most graceful summersault and keep closest to the floor is the prize winner. Two very fine birds of this kind are exhibited by Charles Robinson, of Peoria. One of them is about twelve years old and has won its weight in gold, in exhibitions and contests, many times over.

NEW PATENT LAW POINT

JI DCi: BAKER III LES ON UUTIO OF CO HIT'S Jl RISDK Tl(. Decision by Court of Appeal of District of Colnuibla Doe Not Itar a Future Trial. In the case of Alfred L. Bernardin vs. William H. Northall, in which John S. Seymour, commissioner of patents. Is made a defendant. Judge Baker yesterday overruled a demurrer to the complaint and made an important ruling covering a point never before decided. Bernardin brought suit in chancery to recover his property rights in an Invention known as the "beaded sealing cap." He sets forth in the complaint that he was the first inventor of the device; that Northall was In his employ when he was preparing his models and making arrangements to apply for a patent: that while still in the complainant's employ Northall cntere4 into secret correspondence with the Crown Lick Seal Company, of Baltimore, which resulted In Northall applying for a patent for the invention as his own. This set up an interference which delayed the granting of the patent to Bernardin, but the latter was finally awarded the patent. From the decision of the commissioner of patents Northall took an appeal to the Circuit Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, by which court the decision of the commissioner of patents was reversed and a mandate sent down ordering the issuance of the patent to Northall. Bernardin then brought this suit in the Circuit Court in equity. One objection raised by Northall's demurrer to the complaint is as follows: "There has been an adjudication of the matter here in controversy between the parties in the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, and this controversy having been adjudicated, it cannot again be litigated in this court." The question raised is the right of a Circuit Court to entertain de novo a bill of equity. Prior to the creation of the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, sitting in banc, had power to reviewpatent cases, except interference cases, where no appeal from the commissioner of patents was allowed. Where a patent in an interference case was refused by thecommissioner or in other cases by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia sitting in banc the remedy was by bill of equity in the Circuit Court of the United States. By the act creating the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, appeals from the commissioner of patents may be taken in interference cases and it is contended by the defendant in this rase that the remedy by a bill of equity in the Circuit Court is repealed by implication; that the decision of the Court of Appeals is final and conclusive and that the dignity of the Court of Appeals is such that it would be unfit and indecorous for a Circuit Court to re-examine the appellant's right to a patent. Judge. Baker settles the question of the consideration of the relative dignity of the two courts by the inference that matters of law cannot be determined by sentiment. He showed plainly that the law allowing the adjudication of such a case by a bill of equity In the Circuit Court had not been repealed by Implication. The purpose of an appeal to the Supreme Court of Appeals is to have a review of the decision of the commissioner of patents on the Identical record before the latter office, but it is no substitute for the trial of property rights provided for by a bill of equity in the Circuit Court. The court then shows that in considering the case it is not reviewing a decision made by the Supreme Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, for no matter what the decision of that court, the only result is a mandate to an inferior ofiicer. "The Appellate Court," says Judge Baker, "hears and decides an executive or administrative question in aid of the Patent Office on record made up in that ollice, while the Circuit Court hears the ease upon a bill of equity in due course of judicial procedure, not only on the evidence heard by the commissioner of patents and Court of Appeals, but upon such additional evidence as either party to 4he suit may choose to present. The trial before the Court of Appeals is restricted and is in the aid of an executive duty rathe than a Judicial hearing. The salutary principle that an inventor shall have his day in court and a right to a judicial heating before being finally barred of his right to a patent, secured by Section 4013 of the Revised Statutes, in my opinion, remains unaffected by the net to establish the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia." Prohnfe Affiiirix. Rev. Denis O'Donaghue. of St. Patrick's Church, was yesterday appointed administrator of the estates of Ka;e and Mary Corbet, the mother and daughter who recently died from gas suffocation. They lived on Shelby street. A neighbor broke into tho house and found the mother dead and the daughter in a dying condition. It is not known whether they have any near relatives. Their estate is worth several thousand dohars. Father O'Donaghue gave two bonds of $.".N)0 each, with John R. Welch. John Carlon and P. H. McNeils as sureties. Edward L.

Fletcher, a daughter of the testatrix, waives her right to participate in the estate in favor of the other beneficiaries. Mrs. Connelley Wi"s appointed administratrix, giving a bond of $3,000, with Dr. W. E. Jeffries as surety. Responsibility of Hlat'n Dentil. There were a good many technical quibbles between the attorneys engaged in the. suit of George E. Hiat. administrator, against the Pennsylvania Railroad in Judge Harvey's court yesterday. The administrator brought suit against the road to recover damages on account of the death of his son, who was a freight engineer and who was killed in an accident near Brightwood In November, 18M. One of the witnesses examined was Mr. Austin, who testified that he was a machinist in the Panhandle shops for seven years. He described the accident and the condition of the airbrakes. His evidence went to show that the accident was due to the imperfection of the brakes, but S. O. Pickens, attorney for the railroad, objected to' the evidence as incompetent, arguing that is was the province of tho jury to determine what caused the wreck. He was sustained by the court. Divorced Before on TIiIn Ground. A novel reason for divorce is among the allegations Mary E. Francis makes In a complaint against her husband, William Francis, filed yesterday. After reciting the plaintiff's failure and refusal to provide her with the necessities of life, she charges that her husband was divorced from a former wife in Ohio because of his refusal to provide for her. Mrs. Francis says they have one child, a -daughter two years old, and she alleges the father has never done anything toward supporting the little girl. She says he receives a salary of $: a week, and asks that he be required to provide a proper sum for the support and education of their daughter. Hoy Burglar Hound Oter. Harry O'Brien.

disturb the verdict of acquittal in the case of the State of Indiana against George M. Itay. which came up from Shelby county. Ray had soli some township trustees's warrants said to have been issued for school supplies, but it seems that the warrants were fraudulently issued. The State based its case on the fact that, the warrants lacing fraudulent. Ray obtained money under false pretenses ,vhen he represented that they had been properly issued and were of their face value. Appeal from Appellate Court. A petition was filed in the Supreme Court yesterday asking that the Appellate Court be compelled to turn over to the Supreme Court an appeal taken by the Pennsylvania Company In a case in which John Hays recovered judgment asainst the company for a street-Improvement assessment for an improvement that fronts the track of the company in Dublin. It is claimed that the Appellate Court has no jurisdiction in the case. On Account of a Mdewulk Hole. The city of Indianapolis is defendant in a damage suit instituted by Gordon W.

There was an unusually large attendance at the meeting of the Local Council of Women yesterday afternoon at tho Propylamine Mrs. Emil Wulschner, the president, was in the chair. The first hour was devoted to the business of the council and a lengthy report was made by the legislative committee. This committc-e. under the direction of the council's lawyer, has prepared three bills to come before the Legislature during Its session. The first Is in regard to comiuilsory education, the second for the privilege of woman suffrage at the school election and the third to raise the age of consent to eighteen years. Each was discussed by the members and indorsed by the council. The council also offered Its In dorsement to the bill to be presented sep arating the educational and penal depart mcnts of the Woman's Reformatory by the erection of an Institution for the former on State ground west of the Insane Hospital. Mrs. Henry D. Pierce. Who was the delegate from the council to the meeting of the executive committee of the National Council held In Boston early In December, gave on Interesting report of the sessions held, the entertainments given and of the personnel of the committee, of which Mrs. Mary Lowe Dickinson is president, of Susan B. Anthony anu Rev. Anna Shaw and others. A paper was passed through the council for signatures to a petition to prohibit til manufacture and sale of cigarettes In the State of Indlar.a. The address of the afternoon was made by Mrs. May Wright Sewali on suffrage. Mrs. Sewall was one of the earliest advocates of suffrage in this city and was prts- ' iilent of the first and only suffrage so ciety. Mrs. Sewall briefly recounted the early antagonism to suffrage, when the charge was made that it would take woman from her home and hearth and unfit her for domestic life. The later charges are that it is not fitting nor proper foi women to ote. In four new States, Wyoming. Utah. Colorado and Idaho, the citizenship of women Is acknowledged. The moat recent effort of the suffrage society to gnin suffrage has been in California and a great fight was mode there. When the election occurred It was found that outside of San Francisco a majority of C.'mj was In favor of it. but in the city of San Francisco a majority of 2-).0ra was against It. and this fact was attributed to the ignorance of the vote in the slums. Mrs wall also reviewed the referendum rJ Massachusetts.

A petition will lw sent to tho coming; Legislature asking if hy the fourteenth amendment the womrn f Maryland are not entitled to vote at all general elections. The conduct of women at the poll In States where they vote lus been studied and reporters were sent to Colorado from California and New York and other State. In conclusion Mrs. Sewall asked: "If four States have suffrage, why should not all States have It? I do not indorse the view that women are better than men: men aro as good as women, hut the strength and the weaknesses of each are different. Different men make different use? of their power for good or evil In their bujdne5S and their homes, and so 1 have seen women do the same." Following th? talk, which was short on account of .ur?. Sewall being ill. there was an informal dlfcus?ion. LOCAL GOVERNMENT LAWS. l.cKilnurr Will lie .knl to IVrmlt Appointment of n CoiiiiiiIhhIoii.
