Parliament Wil Be Asked to Repeal Preposterous Statutes. LONDON, some act which will make a clean sweep of the preposterous relics of the feudal system of land tenure which still survives in many parts of Eng- land has been ‘strikingly shown by a case which has just come to light near Sevenoaks, in Kent. There resides Earl Amherst, who, among his other hereditary claims to distinction, boasts that of being lord of the manor of Ortford. Within the borders of the domain thus designated Herbert Coul- drey took up his abode some months ago, totally unaware that thereby he | incurred any obligations as a vassal of the lord of the manor. The other day one of the Barl's deputy stewards called upon Mr. Couldrey, and, seeing a horse and trap standing outside the house, asked Mr. Couldrey if the horse was his. On being answered in the af- firmative the deputy steward cut some | hairs from the horse’s mane and, after depositing them In his pocket, placed a hand on the horse’s shoulder, accom- panying the action with the words: “This horse Is now the property of Lord Amherst.” May 13.—The need of, {he saw one he immediately wrote, con- | stituted a unique roll of the world’s; | the in the ‘*Marriage of Wil lam e,”’ of which the scenes are laid | in Venice. worthy has been ordered to cease pub- | lishing it, and meanwhile, to hold him- self at the disposition of justics. Boud- ! esque has appealed against this sentence, bowever, for he declares that he is a . | reputable citizen, and that he merely took | |a pardonable advantage of the well-| kmown fondness of the public for being gulled. According to the evidence given at bis trial, M. Boudesque kept a sh eye out for announcements to the effect that! Bo-an-so had received the Cross of the| Legion of Honor, the Academic Palms,| or the Order of Agricultural Merit. When | ing the happy recipient and asked | f he would not like to have his name in- | soribed in the ‘‘Great Golden Book’’| whieh, secording to its publisher, con- heroic sons. The cost of such ingeription was thirty franes, or six dollars. Boudesque added that the mightiest nages of the political world were s ‘‘committee of homor.”’ 8o - th were, for he had put their names upon, | “|1t himself without consulting them about | it. However, his little game worked, for ! most of the persons to whom he wrote, in | the flush of their joy at being decorated, sent the thirty franes demanded, and the fact that Boudesque gathered in over a hundred thousand francs last year is elo- quent testimony to the great number of persons in France who receive one or another kind of decoration. The astute ‘‘publisher’’ tripped, how- ever, when he recently sent one of communications to an employe of the Prefecture of Police, for this individual | that longevity is hereditary, and as her’ not only declined to be inscribed in the ‘“Great Golden Book’’ but called the at- | tention of the authorities to that vol- ume, end so Boudesque was arrested. And sentenced, too, as above stated, desplcel his assertion that he didn’t swindle any- | one, because he never promised to send them the book, but onf{ to write their names in the one which he kept at home. If Count Lionel di Minerbi, of Trieste, who has just bought the beautiful Pa- lazzo Rezzonico, in Venice, is interested ' in literary matters, he & special pleasure in account of its intimate associations with Robert Browning. For here it was, of courss, that the great poet came on a | visit to his son and daughter-in-law in 1889, and here that a few months after- ward, he died of an illness contracted while under their roof; tended to-the last by loving hands, and with echoes of the success of ‘‘ Asolando’’ coming from England. Until recently the palace eon- tained many relics of both Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and many, American visitors to Venice saw thesa every year, but they were all removed before the sale of the Palace to Count @i Minerbi. The Rezzomico Palace, for which this Austrian nobleman is sald to have paid $140,000, was built from the designs of Longhena in the seventeenth century and contains & fine ceiling by Tiepolo, besides boasting one of the finest and largest bedrooms in all Venice.

She has not been ill for years, except for occa- sional colds. Even then she does not want to see a doctor. She takes her own old-time remedies, which she declares have been found good enough by her relatives and friends for the past 100 years. Winter or summer she is out of doors frequently and thinks nothing of walk- ing a mile or two, even during the coldest days In winter, to visit her neighbors. For the past few weeks she has asked her son almost daily to drive her over to Balisbury and back, 16 miles each way. The son has been post- poning the trip on account of the muddy roads, but she is so determined to go that she declares she will ask one of {her neighbors to take her if he does not. Mrs. Eastman recalls incidents which happened when she was a mere child. ghn remembers distinetly how her father, uncles and neighbors used to talk about the war of 1812 and how her grandfather told about what he had heard his parents say of the revo- lution. On the events of the day she ‘il very cemversant and clearly remem- Ibers what she reads in the‘g:pen. | ~Bhe attributes her longevity to her regular life.

We lived the genuine (simple life in those days. The women folks did the housework, and they never knew such a thing as club life.

As a preparation for a formal striek declaration this would seem to have heen a tactical mistake on the part of John Mitchell and the other officers of the miners’ union, says the ‘Well informed reports from the mine districts in February and March were to the effect that there ‘were nfld reasons for belleving that a large body of the miners did not want a strike, and it is not to be wondered at that the reports are now that there is less enthusiasm for a strike than ever. Four workless weeks are likely | unrepealed the deputy steward’'s fan- | tastic performance actually made HEarl Ambherst the owner of Mr. Couldrey’'s steed. However, the deputy steward only took away the hairs that he had cut from the mane, the major portion | property, which required stabling and ; feeding, being left with Mr. Couldrey. | It was explained to the latter that the | Barl, belng a generous man, did not wish to push his rights to their legal | imits, and would therefore permit Mr. | Couldrey to redeem the horse. The { price of the redemption was subse- quently fixed at $67.50—about one- | third of its real value—which shows | that Earl Amherst is a much more lib- | eral man than his feudal ancestors, ! who were wont to exact everything | they could clajm from their vassals. Finding there was no other method by which he oould recover the horse, Mr, Couldrey bought it back at the | price stipulated. Then, in order to call | public attention to the case, he brought | & suit against the Earl for the keep of | the horse during the two weeks that | the settlement of the matter was pend- | ing, for, In accordance with the adsugd {law under which it had been seized, for these two weeks the horse was | unquestionably the property of Earl | Amherst. But this modern sort of pro- cedure was not at all in accordance with feudal notlons and the Seven- oaks Judge, before whom the suit was tried, promptly gave his decision against the audacious vassal. Public opinion, however, is with the latter ;and it is probable that a bill will soon | be introduced in Parliament to put a | stop to all such revival of medieval rights. Mr. Couldrey, it seems, last year bought near Sevenoaks a property consisting of two and a half acres, with a house and stable, for $8500. The property is what {s known as a “cus- tomary freehold” of the manor of Ort- ford. And according to the customs of the manor the lord of the manor is entitled to a “Heriot” on every change in the ownership by allenation or suc- cession. As his heriot the lord may legally seize the tenant’s best live beast, but In the absence of a beast to seize he has to be content, in lleu | thereof, with a modest fine of three | shillings and sixpence (87 cents). The | customary freeholder who sold the yer about visiting neighbors ' property to Mr. Couldrey possessed no ' Whis and playing cards and attending meet- | best beast, and so on that occasion tigntion. gz '?;?3“" was g. more recia: on $o | Without any iden that he was thereby | Dendlotons” home e o typloat beast.

Then Earl Ame | herst's emissary swooped down on him | as already told and claimed his heriot. ! Mr. Couldrey did not even know what | the word meant until he had consulted a dictionary. If he had kept a motor car instead of a horse, he would have been able to settle the Harl's clalm by paying him 87 cents. Of course, ther i lords who never think of enforeing the anclent feudal rights, which have never been abrogated. But it is always pos- | sible for such claims to be enforced | vexatiously and oppressively. It is ! actually on record, though it happened , many years ago, that a lord of the | manor seized as his heriot a tenant's racehorse, worth between $10,000 and $15,000. Earl Amherst is not at all the sort | of man one wquld imagine would prove a stickler in such matters.

The Judge had his patience sorely tried i by lawyers who wished to talk and by . men who tried to evade jury service, says | the Green Bag. Between hypothetical questions and excuses it seemed as if they never would get to the actual trial of the case. So when the puzzled little German who had been accepted by both sides Jum up the Judge was exasperated. ‘‘Bhudge!’’ cried the German. ‘“What is it?’’ demanded the Judge. “I t’ink I like to go home to my | wife,’” said the eGrman. | ““¥ou can’t,” “4Bit down.”’ ¢“But, Shudge,’’ the German, 1““Idon’t t’ink T mm.;:d shuror.”” ““You’re the best in the box,”’ said | the Judge. “‘Sit down.”” ‘‘What box?’’ said the eGrman. { ““Jury box,’’ said the Judge. }.peoPIe gets 1 somedimes.’’ ““No,’” said the Judge; ‘‘the bad box is the prisoners’ box.”’ «‘But, Shudge,’’ persisted the little German, ‘‘T don’t speak good English.”” ¢‘You don’t have to speak any at all,”” said the Judge. ‘‘Sit down.”’ The little German pointed at the law- years to make his last desperate plea.

Imports Increase at Cantom. Viece-Consul Heintzleman, reporting on the trade of Canton, China, says in | the Daily Comsular and Trade Reports: The trade of Canton during the ar 1905 shows a considerable decrease, | although very satisfactory to producers | and shippers. The margin of pr}uflt has | been very low, and there was difficulty in having the native cliemtele of the merchants meet payments due, owing to the tightness of the money market and |the prevailing high rate of exchange. In the importation of cotton goods there was a decided improvement all aloag the line; also in metals and woolens. America is not represented as compet- ing in these articles. In kerosens, sian oil has almost entirely di-pgnrod, its importation being supplied by the American and Sumatra produet. The inerease in the importations of ’Aurlcan oil into Canton shows over 8,000,000 gallons in 1904, and for the first half of 1905 over 8,000,000 gallons. | The Standard Ofl Company has invested |in in Canton, consisting of several acres, and containing thereon four warehouses and five tanks, sostin 1$1,125,000.

The Singer Sewing | Machine Company is doing an increas- ln% and profitable business. he prineipal exports from Canton are matting, silk and tea, besides such other es as fans, cassia, canes, bristles, firecrackers and feathers are shipped abroad in considerable quanti- ties. The total export of tea from Can- ton for the year 1904 was 3,873,344 pounds, of which not a pound was ex- ported to America. The quantity of raw silk and’cocoons exported in 1904 was 6,107,698 pounds. Marriage Llconses. The following marriage licenses wers 1 Tt K‘nt': Saturday: Willam W.
