Albany, November 4 President P. B. Dowe the National League of Commercial Travelers, announces that Attorney General Davies has decided that the evidence submitted to prove that he. American Spool Coton Company is a trust or monopolistic combination is insufficient for the purposes of prosecution, but that District Attorney Gardiner of New York County has maintained otherwise and will commence, on the application of Mr. Dowe, proceedings under the Donnelly antitrust law of the state.

President Dowe submitted the evidence to Attfir General Davies some three months ago, snortly after the annual meeting of the National League of Commercial Travelers which was held in the city and at which trusts as a bane of the traveling salesmen's profession was the main topic of consideration. The Attorney General turned the evidence over to former Judge J. Newton Flero for the purpose of determining its sufficiency as the basis of proceedings against the alleged cotton trust. This fact was announced at the time but since period no informaion has been divulged by the state authorises. PARIS FASHIONS UP TO DATE From the Eagle Paris Bureau.

Jerry Simpson has a circulation raising dodge for bin Bayonet which is ahead of the effete East. The Bayonet appeals, of course, to the rabid Populists, and Jerry has to rely upon the enthusiasm of these men to spread his gospel.

He offers them the gaper a quarter off at club rates, which is not new. But ho also runs three columns of double leaded type called "Bayonet Pushers," In which he doles out a nice, sweet bite of taffy to each Pop. who sends in a list. If the list has over ten names tho agent gets two bites. Kansans who cannot make a speech, if there are any such, are thus able to spread their names and their principles far outside the limits of their own township.

The scheme Is working finely. Judging by the numbers of men who come up lor their taffy. K. AV. Drena Shirt.

K. v. weave of linen. Adv. The number of decisions given orally from the bench at the argument by the Appellate Division of the second department of late is noticeable.

This will meet with the approval of a majority of the bar. It is the English way. Why should an appellate court reserve Its decision and write a labored opinion in an appeal plainly without merit or foundation? Lawyers have no right to impose such work on appeal judges, and appeal judges have 'no right to impose the reading of such opinions on the bar. If our Appellate Division will continue in this course fewer frivolous appeals will be brought before it. Some lawyers say now that they appeal everything for the reason that the decisions of the appellate courts are more uncertain than verdicts of juries.

If frivolous appeals are promptly decided on the argument, and reversals are given only for substantial reasous, we will hear less of such talk. No one can look at the last volumes of the Appellate Division reports without noticing how much more compact and logical the opinions of most of the Judges or the Appellate Division of the second department are than those of the other departments. The Court of Appeals In the taxpayer's suit of Hendrickson against the City of New York and others has affirmed the judgment of the Appellate Division of the second department annulling the ten year lighting contract made by the town board of the town of Jamaica with a lighting company fourteen days before the new city of New York came Into being. The Appellate Division held that the town board was without power to make the contract to run beyond the limit which had been put to the life of the town by the charter of the new city which had been passed in the previous May. Instead of adopting the clear opinion which Mr.

Justice Bartlett wrote for the Appellate Division, which might well be expected of a court which haB allowed its work to get two years In arrears by devoting time to the writing of long and learned opinions on every commonplace question of law that conies along, the Court of Appeals goes further. The judge writing for it after holding with the Appellate Division that there was a lack of power to make the contract, which was enough, assumes also to find as a fact that the contract was made in bad faith by the town officials, fraudulently, and says the judgment may be upheld on that ground. Every educated lawyer will understand how impermissible this is when it is stated that the complaint made no charge of fraud against the town officials. It is such diversions in our highest court, unfortunately none too infrequent, which are demoralizing our practice. The learned judge even gravely writes this: A complaint properly pleading the execution and delivery of the contract, which annexed a copy, and alleged that it was void under the greater New York charter, would raise the points of good faith, power and public policy, as they are really questions of law growing out of the contract on its face and the charter." Think of that, ye lawyers who have always supposed, and still know, for that matter, and notwithstanding this high dictum, that fraud has to be specifically pleaded in order to be inquired into or found.

How often will trial judges have this "decision" thrust at them by lawyers who without having pleaded fraud will insist on giving proof of it and asking that it be found? And what is the trial judge to say or do? The wonder Is that more of the learned judges of the Court of Appeals than the learned Chief Judge did not feel constrained to record themselves as only concurring in the result. But, after all, such occurrences In a court however high should not swerve a learned bar. In the opinion in the foregoing case is the following: "It is well settled that this court will not, for the purpose of reversing a judgment, entertain questions not raised or argued at tho trial, or upon the intermediate appeal." Notwithstanding which lawyers know that It is a constant occurrence for even meritorious Judgments to be reversed on points not mentioned or even thought of at the trial. And very often when judgments are thus reversed the "new point" which served its purpose on appeal is entirely ignored by both sides on the new trial. It was simply a "good enough Morgan till alter election." When will all this for the sake of justice and order be stopped? Look for instance at Sprague National Bank against Erie R.

Co. (40 App. Both sides tried that case on the theory of the complaint, of a conversation by the defendant landlord of buildings erected by a tenant plaintiff under a covenant in the lease giving him a right to remove them. And yet see the opinion for reversal. The plaintiff should have brought an action for trespass on the lands, it says.

It will be noticed that the learned opinion of the Court of Appeals says the court will not entertain questions "not raised or argued at the trial or upon the intermediate appeal." Wasn't the word "raised" enough? Can a question be "argued" without being Isn't arguing it raising it? Have not the bar a right to expect the opinions of a great court to be scientific and exact? And are we to understand the court as saying that If the intermediate court of appeal for the purpose of reversing resorts to questions not In the record, for not having been raised at the trial, it will also break the rule by following suit? A case recently tried showed that the decision of the Court of Appeals in the case of the People against Murphy (135 N. in respect of expert evidence in handwriting is not any too well known to the bar. In the cross examination of a handwriting expert simulated signatures were mixed up with genuine ones, and he gave It as his opinion that were genuine. The person who wrote the simulated ones was afterward put on the witness stand to so testify, but his evidence was excluded in accordance with the decision in the above case, which is that the question of their genuineness was a collateral matter, and that therefore the answer of the expert that they were genuine was binding on the party who examined him. This decision may seem none too reasonable, but there it is.

Tenement house landlords must light the halls. In 1S92 the Court of Appeals held in the case of Hilsenbeck against Guhring (131 N. that there was no obligation on ihe landlord of a tenement house to keep the halls lighted. But in 1895 an act (ch. 567) was passed requiring that "the owner or lessee of every tenement house in the city of New York shall keep a light burning in the hallway upon each floor of said house from sunset until 10 P.

M.p throughout the year." In the case of Brown against Winner (43 App. Div.) It is held that tho absence of such light is evidence of negligence by the landlord in the case of a tenant falling on the stairway, and the nonsuit granted by the trial court is reversed. The decision of the Appellate Division of the first department in Lea against Talbot (43 App. Div.) though expressed in tiresome verbiage may well be noted by lawyers. The action was for damages for breach of warranty in the sale of peas for food.

There was a contract for the future delivery of a quantity of "Talbot Extra Fine Peas." This was held to be only descriptive of the peas to be delivered and not to be a contract of warranty. Hence the plaintiff could not keep the peas and sue for a breach of a contract of warranty, as may always be done where there is a contract of warranty. Where thero la not, the goods delivered on an executory contract of sale mUBt be returned, or tendered back. If not the kind ordered. In order that there may be a cause of action for damages.

Three well IWM ift I II tjt known Brooklyn girls went to the altar, a)l marrying Brooklyn men. a somewhat noteworthy happening in a trio of bridals of BO much moment.

They have been already noted as news in the Eagle, but there is still much that may be said here in conclusion. The Geddes Maxwell ceremonies came in the late afternoon of Wednesday and brought many people to the old Church of the Saviour. Famous as this edifice was many years ago for great weddings, it has not seen many of recent years or large social prominence, and hence its selection as one of the' most frequently chosen of altars for brides this winter is worthy of not a little comment. Miss Esther Howard's wedding, It will be remembered, is to be solemnized under this roof tomorrow evening. Wednesday afternoon the old edifice looked exceeediugly well.

About the pulpit there was fine massing of green with slight touches of pink and white, the white and green decoration extending part of tile way down the center aisle. The latest fashion of the hour appears to be the "white wedding." This was especially to be noticed at Miss Maxwell's bridal and again at Miss Elsie Ogden's at the First Presbyterian church the following afternoon. Tills fashion and It is a quaintly pretty one Is to garb the maids in the wedding train in white in place of colors. So many changes have been rung on the wedding color schemea that the new fashion is a marked relief. The Gcddes Maxv.ell maids brought forward a slight variant on this.

Their gowns were white instead, but the maid of honor's hat was trimmed with pink rosebuds and her flowers were pink, the bridesmaids' hats sported white plumes that were edged in pink and the bunches of flowers In their hands wero tied with pink ribbons. The reception hall of the Maxwell house, on Eighth avenue, presented an effect of green, white and pink, the stairway at the back and the gallery above affording appor tunitles of decoration not often to be met with. Those Moral groupings alone would have made the wedding distinguished among many others of the winter. Miss Elsie Ogden's wedding to Alexander M. White, on Thursday, brought out an even more numerous assembly of Brook lynltes, especially people of the Heights.

The church decorations here were green and white, the wedding colors, as has been said, white alone. it was a remarkably effective ceremony, anil the picture presented at tho reception immediately following at the Qgdea mansion, 73 Pierrepont street, no less an incident for the social historian. The De Bevoise Pilcher wedding, that took place, altso, on Wednesday night, proved for tile Hill what the two weddings already mentioned were for the Heights. Its great feature was the marquee that covered the entire yard, and, despite the heavy rain, made the best of supper apartments. This tent, approached by specially constructed flights ot steps from the drawing room, which were three in number, was gay with its decorationA of green and pink and was heavily rugged.

It did much to add to the effect of the exceedingly brilliant scene. Another element of great interest was the bridal frocks. Her the bride herself wore a gown of white satin, with a princess front embroidered in pearls, ihe bodice, also embroidered in pearls, beins of duchess and point lace. The dresses of tbe bridesmaids and the matron uf honor had prln cess fronts of the same fashion, those of tho former beins uf petunia pink crepe de chine embroidered in fire spangles, that of the lat ter of white crepe de chine embroidered in gold. All this spangling was of chrysanthemum pattern, and so perfectly was the plan to have this, in a measure, a chrysanthemum wedding carried out, that, even the weddinf cake boxer, were of chrysanthemum design.

The pink in the lloral decoration of the rooms was of chryam hemums as well. Pringle was master of cercmrmies. It would be mere repetition to again mention the names of these bridal parties. They have already been given in detail in this column several times. Another wedding interest to Brooklyn was solemnized Thursday, its scene being St.

George's Church. Sluyvesant square. Borough of Manhattrju. The groom of this occasion was Briton N. Buscb of this city.

Mr. Buscb, wedded Miss Christine Marie Fairchild. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Horace J.

Fairchild of 59 West Fifty fifth street. The Rev. W. S. Rains ford, lector of St.

George's, officiated, and a reception followed at the bride's home. The bridesmaids were Miss Rita Burgess, I Miss Katherine Homans, Miss Ethel Busch, Miss Marion Llndley and Miss Alice Herrlck, Mr. Busch's ushers included Crowell Hadden, Daniel Haskell Lanman. William E. Car hart, John Adrian Hesse, William Raymond and Edward C.

There were married quietly Saturday week, tho Rev. A. C. Dixon of the Hanson Place Baptist Church, officiating. Miss Mae Nutting, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. A. J. Nutting of 149 South Oxford street and Robert Davldsoa Kennedy of this borough. i A further word may be said to that set down bore Wednesday concerning the marriage of Miss Genevieve Louise Wildes, daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Thomas Wildes of 273 Madison street, to John Stewart Kennedy of the Bor ough of Manhattan. The Rev. John H. Wlliey of the Nostrand Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church performed the ceremony, which was set for o'clock.

It was a pretty home wedding. The maid of honor, Miss Shirley Wildes, was in white tulle and silver. The bridesmaid wore white point d'tsprit over white satin. Tho bride's gown was of white crepe de chine, tucked and. adorned with accordion plaited chiffon.

Ther i was point de venise lace in the bodice. ST. JAMES' SODALITY EUCHRE. A progressive euchre and dance will be held by St. James' Sodality, attached to the Pro Cathedral, on street, on Friday evening, November 10, at the Johnston Building, Flatbush avenue, corner Nevins street.

The game will commence at o'clock and on the conclusion of tho contest there will be dancing. A number of handsome prizes has been donated and the arrangements tire in the hands of an n. rgetic and efficient committee, of which Mis. Mary York is chairman. A euchre was held by this odality lust spring and proved one of the mcst successful affairs of the season.

Thcrp is every indication that 1 the proposed entertainment will be equally successful. All AGED WOMAN'S FAXL.

But this, he says, cannot compare with the one about the tutor. Its melody was floating through his mind but it was almost impossible for him to reproduce it. It was to him one of the ineffable things. I succeeded, however, in getting it from a man whom its beauty had not completely confounded: A tutor who tooted the flute Once taught two tutors to toot. Said the two to the.

tutor Is it harder to toot, or To tutor two tutors to toot? After reading the dispatches South Africa I asked the Man from St. Lawrence County where Harrismith was. "Harry Smith?" he asked. "Why, Harry Smith is jjead died long ago. He was one of the noted characters up in St.

Lawrence County. In his later years he kept a sort of drug store, but before that he owned what we would call a department store nowadays and he used to boast that there was nothing which ho did not keep in stock. One day two men decided to call the old fellow's bluff and one of them went inside and asked for a second hand ox yoke, confident that he would not have such a thing. But sure enough, he opened the door of a back room and took down an old yoke and made the roan pay a good price for it. Oh, yes, Harry Smith is dead, but I don't know where he is." Will some one tell me what a man means when he says "I went right up my white alley?" There is a naval officer on duty not a thousand miles from Boston who uses this expression when he tells how he felt after reading or hearing of something that ruffled his temper.

No one has yet had the courage to ask him what he means, and when his associates are questioned about the phrase they eay: "Oh, you heard So and So say that. I don't know what he refers to, either." In the Interest of contemporary English this expression ought to he explained. A newspaper printed in Saratoga seems to be surprised that a Newark judge should have decided that it is not disorderly conduct for a man to break all the furniture in his house, rip up the carpets and tear the plaster off the "walls if he wishes. May not a man clean house occasionally if he desires, or may not he even tear down his own house? The Jersey justice seems to have had a proper appreciation of the force of the old English doctrine that a man's house is his castle. It will be easy to write 1900 in Roman numerals.

It takes only three letters, MCM. Somewhat shorter than 1888, isn't it, as that vas written in this way, MDCCCLXXXVIII? Some time ago I commented on the difference in shape between the America's Cup and the prize cups that are designed nowadays. I must take it all back, for thj loving cup presented to Sir Thomas Lipton to console him for losing the yachting trophy is shaped very much like the cup made half a century ago, being tall and slender, instead of broad and low. But it may be that the cup was made In this shape so that it would remind him of what he failed to get! Not all the odd names are in Dickens. Other people beside Mr.

Bagnet have named children after the their birth. There Is a family living at the corner of Halsey street and Lewis avenue, one of" whose sons rejoices in the appellation Halsey Lewis, and whose servant religiously uses both when she Is sent out to call the young hopeful in. There Is a family named Hill in this town, one of whose sons is named Bunker; there is a colored man named Gray whoso oldest hopeful Is, literally and by baptism, Black Gray; there Is a Western girl in this city whoso name, Dakota Winona, proclaims her place of residence, and somewhere in tho West there is a man named Windsor Vermont Smith because his parents were born in that town. Various people have been disappointed in their expectation of naming a baby after Dewey by an accident beyond their control; but when he went through Vermont the Admiral heard of one family which overcame that obstacle very neatly. Their daughter, born on May 1.

1898, rejoices in the name of Manila Dewey Aiexander. May she live to conquer other of the world's conquerors after the fashion which Mrs. Hazen has set. Some women, at least, are able to take care themselves on the street cars. One of this sort was recently standing, when a seat became vacant.

She started toward it. but a small boy, who did not see her move, got there first anil eat down. A middle aged man next him said, sternly: "Young man, a lady was coming for that seat. You ought to give It to her." The boy did not budge, but someone "elee "shoved up," so that woman got the edge of a seat. From that post of vantage she remarked, tossing her head scornfully: "Some men are very free in telling boys to do what they are not willing to do themselves.

I can't see why men who sit all day In their offices should be so terribly tired when they reach the street cars. I think it would do some of them good to stand." Speaking of street cars, what a lot of money the railroad must make out of its "specials" which run to Erasmus Hall. Those which run through Nostrand avenue are worse crowded than any cattle car. Railroad officers would be arrested if they packed sheep or pigs that way. Ig It possible tbat Dr.

Gunnison has not "pull" enough to induce the TailToad company to run another car in the morning for his pupils, or else to give them transfers from the Nostrand to the Flatbush line. That last step would solve the whole trouble. The condition of thoso cars is a scandal at present. Cubvsaxthemuji Show at the Greenhouses of J. Condon.
