Action of Tobacco Trust Directors Causes Much Discussion. New York, April 2.—The extraordinary performance o!f the directors of the American Tobacco Company' at yesterday's Ipvoefcing was the 'absorbing topic of interest in Wall street today. Criticism of the dividend policy was uncompromising and tt'he directors were referred to In forcible nms, an fact agitation toward an invesga'ti'on toy the governing committee of ttJhe New York stock exchange has already beguc and rumors are also current of 'injunction proceedings to restrain tthe payment of the extra scrip dividend lof 20 per cent. The advance of over 5 per cent in the curb bid price yesterday over the aictual cldsing figure led the financial community to expect a bad "quarter of an fliour" for the shorts this morning and so iindeed it proved. At the opening simultaneous sales were made at 95 to 91 as ipsainst m.u last nig-ht's final sale. The d'eoiinie was under a rush Co realize. A rally to 93Vi, a reaction to S9V6 and another •rally to 91Vi all Occurred within the first lil'tecin iminutes of business, 37,M0 shares Seeing dealt in that time. The final price (was at S9%, or without change from Wednesday's closiwg. The stock footed up trnore than one-half of the entire dealings. The general list was almost entirely neglected pending the manipulation in the Toibacco shares. The dealings almost (throughout t/he list were of the most protfesSional charaoter.

No tX)niirm-atlan of the reported preparations tfor itihe export of gold on Saturday were •obtainable today.

The revenue officers Wave endeavored for years to catch him, but the nearest they have succeeded was about two years ago, the dedails of which raid were told a Washing!ton Star reporter by Thad Arnold, one of the deputies w'ho accompanied the posse. "We left Point Bunmside," he said, "and topped the first night in Montiicello, starting early tihe next morning for Boston mountain, near Which Nelson was known to live. As we rode up the narrow bridle path—thiat is the easiest way to the top of the mourntia'in—a mountaineer met -us. 'Howdy, strangers,' ihe said. "t'Howdy,* we answered.

By information—Plea Abatement.

17.72L Larkin Lankford vs. State of Indliarta. Knox C. C. Affirmed. MoCabe, (1) The existence of each of 'the facts authorizing a pros ecu tfl on by indictments and information must be negatived by a plea in abatement to a criminal action for the reason that it is improperly prosecuted in that manner, or it will be insufficient. (2) A plea -tihat on July 2d ths defendant was boamd over to the Circuit Court ajid has since been in custody "that art the Knox Circuit Court 'there was a grand jury reguflarly drawn to invest! gate Into crimes and misdemeanors committed within the jurisdiction of the county prior to the 1st day of September, and

Kim said 25th day of Octoiber said grand jury had not been discharged for said term, and no order of count had been made" relative thereto, is insufficient as a plea in abatement, since it does not show that a grand jury had been impaneled at ithe current term of court. (3) Where incompetent evidence is given by a witness voluntarily or in reply to a question to whWh it is not responsive, the question as to (its admissibility roust be saved, by a natation to strike out.

(1) Where land was sold and a note taken for the unpaid purchase money, and the seller and purchaser afterward agree that two notes for smaller amounts should be given instead of the one note, in order •that the holder might transfer parts of the debt to different parties, who agreed •Bo take the notes as "purchase nionfey paper," and this was accordingly done, it was proper, in an action by the assignees of the notes to enforce payment, to decree tihe foreclosure of a vender's lien upon the land oi'Lginally sold, and for which the original note was given. (2) Where issue is joinefd upon a complaint and crosscomiplainit and a general verdict is rendered in flavor of 'both the plaintiq and cross-comiplainiant, a general motion for new trial should be overruled if either was entitled to recover. If it is desired to contest the right of Uhe cross-com-plainant Only, to recover, the mfbotion •Should be for a new trial of the issues joined on 'the cross complaint.

Where an admtinistrat)or, after the rem d'ition of a decree foreclosing a mortgage on real estate 'belonging to his decedents' estate, proo.ures an order to sell such real estate to discharge the liens thereon, and sells it for more than enough

Che mortgage debt and costs ,of foreclosure, he is bound to pay such costs, and will not be allowed, after payong the mortgage debt, to settle the estate as an insolvent estate, leaving the costs of foreclosure unpaid.

Keeping Brothel—Husband's Liability. 2,045. Lion Hunter vs. State of Indiana. Sullivan C. C. Affirmed. Gavin, J.

A husband, Who lives with his wife In house owned by her and conducted by her as a house of ill-fame, from the proceeds of which he is fed. clothed and fur. nished wiitlh a 'horse and buggy fund spending money,' is properly found guilty of keeping such a-house. Instruction—Erroneous Statement of Issue —Harmless Error. 1,845. Catherine E. Hamlin e!t al. vs. Grant Engle. Marion S. C.. Rehearing denlied. Davis,

An incorrect statement by the'court in an instruction given on the trial of a suit to dispossess a sub-tenant holding over, to the effect tihat plaintiff's complaint alleged her to be the "owner of said real estate," does not in tihe absence of any instruction that such allegation was material or necessary to be proved, constitute reversible error especially is this true where the court expressly told the jury ithat they must find for the plaintiff unless the defendant should be found to be holding by virtue of a contract with the plaintoif leasing the premises to him.

Res Judicata—Unmatured Demand. 1,773. Charles C. Franke et al. vs. Christena Franke. Marion S. C. Affirmed. Ross, J.

Where the complaint in un action includes a demand for money not yet due, and the judgment rendered in such action expressly states that no rights of the parties as to such unmatured demand was adjudicated therein, such judgment does not constitute a bar to an action upon such demand after its maturity.

"JOHNNY ON THE SPOT.'

A New Phrase Which Has Become Very Popular In Town Nowadays. Current additions to contemporary slang find thelir way into popularity by odd (means. An expression once made and often repeated gdts finally a sort of vogue, especially if ft seems peculiar. Such an expression, papular for a long time, was "out of sight," thiough there was no espeaiial significance to the phirase when distorted to cover a variety of oases, says t'he New York Sun. A person was said to 'be "out of sight" when, for any reason, he or she was superior to other persons in any particular, and a woman was said to be "out of sight" because her apparel was good deal -brighter and more stylish than that of her associates. Simaiaarly t'he word- "nit," recently so popular, has been swerved fro mits original meaning to serve many other purposes. It is of GermanAmerican origin, being a corruption of "nic-ht," and among Germans it is not an unusual tiling to state an affirmative proposition by first stating the proposition and then adding the word "nicht."

The grammatisal genesis of "Johnny on the spot" cannot be itraced very clearly, but the pihrase certainly originated from the longer and less expressive one, "Johnny is always on the ispot When wanted." A "Johnny on the spot" is a man or youth

stated place when wanted and on whose assured appearance confident expectation may be based. It is not sufficient t'ha't an ailert and trustworthy individual to be tiiougWt deserv.ng of the. name "Johnny on ithe spot," should restrict his beneficent activity to tihe matter of being at a certain pta.ee when needed. He must, in addition, render such service and attend to such 'business when there as the occasion may require, and such a "Johnny" must be on the spot not merely to atentd to the business of others," but also to look after his own. Hence an individual who is prompt and fareectogr, a'live to his own interests, and keenly sensible of means for promoting his own advantage, is a "Johnny on the spot." The expression is, to some extant, a variation or rather a continuation of that other phrase "he gets there."

The expression "Johnny cn thtf spot," has come into popularity very suddenly, iaind iit will probably go out of popularity aliter some pretty hard usage in paragraphers' columns, variety theaters, campaign speeches, and cheap plays, in an equally unconventtonal way, but until a successor is found it is likely to be in pretty general use hereiaibouts.

Utilizing the Cheap Silks.

The mob bought them for all sorts of impossible purposes—silk waists, wedding drt'sses and a variety of things they were never means for. But tihe wise woman paused and pondered. Ten yards of pale blue and White striped silk cost her $2.50. Her cheap dressmaker will gather it in student gown shape upoh a mtisiin lining yoke, will add a frill of lace at the neck and at the elbow sleeves, and will fasten it with blue ribbon bows down th'3 front. Result-*-a bewCrahlng pretty sumtrver negligee, easily laundered, moro durable and cheap cottons, cooler than 'muslins arvd quite* as inexpensive. Twenty-one yards of plain wlaite silk was designed to be made into three nigfit dresss^s. The wise woman was preparing for summer travel With only a sachel to hold her belongings, and she knew that three silk night gowns would occupy the space of one cambric one, besides being very coil. Fo-r the same reason she bought enough more silk to complete an underwear ou'tftt of tihree sets. Brown and white s'dk, not beautiful in color, was purchased to make up a sleeping car nighi wrapper wh!rh would be tool, convenient and modest. Enough plain pink silk was bought to line the turned back front re vers of this garment and to give it a needed touch of delicate color.—New York World.

AN HONEST CBAL DEALER.

He Surprised His Heavy Driver by Easing His Own Conscience. Mr. Black, the eminent and wealthy ooal dealer, called one of his oldest drivers into the office the other m.onrin'g and tendered him quite a large sum of money, according to London Tid-Bits. "What is this for?" asked the astonished driver. ""Merely a token of appreciation for services rendered," replied (Mr. Blaiok Mnd8y. "But you've always paid me well for my services and that was appreciation enough." "There is really more than that in it, John," continued Mr. Blactc. "I really owe you the money." "I don't understand." "Let me tell you," and lie dropped Ms voice -to a. whisper. "You have been with me for twenty years, working 300 days every year, and averagin three loads a clay that makes 18,000 load's. You weigh 150 pounds, John, and we have never failed to weig!h you with every load that makes 2,700,000 pounds, or 1,200 tons, This, at an averiage of £1 per ton, John, represents £1,200. Tie package you hold in your hand contains £120, or 10 pef- cent, which' we think is yours by right. We are honest men, John, and don't desire to defraud anybody of what is justly his."

John ibowed in humble submission and is now wafting for the next dividend.

My entire nervous system had been shattered bv the stimulants and opiates I had taken, my blood had actually turned to water, my weight had droppea from 173 pounds to 123, and it seemed to everybody that the end was in sight. Why I could not bear the gentle hand of my wile to bathe my limbs with.tepid water. I was •imply living from hour to hour. I hacl macle my will, settled my business and waited for the last strand of life to snap.

It was at this time that a somewhat similar case as my own was brought to my notice. This man had suffered very much tfs I had, his life had been despaired of as mine had and yet he had been cured. Think what that little word meant to me— CURED. The report stated that the work had been accomplished by a medicint known as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pal« People. I investigated the report thoroughly and found that it was true in detail. Then procured some of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and began taking them and began to get better. 1 began to sleep like a healthful child, sound, calm and peaceful. My appetite came back and, my nerves were soothed and restored to their normal condition and I felt like a new man. But the

greatest blessing was}, tjhe mental improveI began to read and digest, to formu-

ment. I began to read and digestj to 10 late new plans, to take interest in my law practice, which began to come back to me as soon 'as my clients realized that I was ®£ain myself. After a lapse of ten years I nde horse back everv day without fatigue. "That Dr. Williams'-Pink Pills saved my life is beyond doubt, and I am spreading their praise far and wide!"

Intjuiry about the town of Greenville substantiated the above facts of Col.. Sugg's ca'se, and that many others are being benefited bv Dr. Williams" Pink Pills. i.
