V22 raised the 0.9em spacing between paragraphs to 1.5em, which broke content that expected text to have similar size across skins (notably but not only {{tl|overfloat image}}). This proposal is therefore to add to [[MediaWiki:Gadget-Site.css]]: <syntaxhighlight lang="css"> .mw-body p { margin:0.4em 0 0.5em 0; } </syntaxhighlight> Technical notes: * this should have neither false positives nor false negatives given that <code>.mw-body p</code> is the exact same selector used by V22. * if site.css is loaded before the skin css, then we can just add a <code>html </code> at the start of the selector: will not change the selection (given everything's in an html), and will give it more specificity (0,1,2 vs 0,1,1). * 0.4em 0 0.5em 0 is exactly how it was in V10. * this may stop working one day whenever WMF decides to IDHT another change through; but so can the entire website, and at least we'll have a fix. If it stops working, we can easily remove it and go back to our current state of having broken content. — [[User:Alien333|Alien]] [[User talk:Alien333|<b style="display:inline-block;line-height:100%;font-size:60%;background-image:linear-gradient(90deg,#007,#077,#070);background-clip:text;color:transparent">&ensp;3<br/>3 3</b>]] 15:39, 6 June 2025 (UTC) : {{support}} as proposer. — [[User:Alien333|Alien]] [[User talk:Alien333|<b style="display:inline-block;line-height:100%;font-size:60%;background-image:linear-gradient(90deg,#007,#077,#070);background-clip:text;color:transparent">&ensp;3<br/>3 3</b>]] 15:39, 6 June 2025 (UTC) : {{support}}, strongly.

The hand curated index looks pretty, but is always missing articles. We can have [[The Brooklyn Eagle]] as the pretty one. See how it is done at [[Jersey Journal]], scroll to the bottom and there is a link to the pretty hand-curated list, missing many articles. This is similar to how Commons does it, you have automatic index at Category:Foo, and hand curated one as Foo, that is always missing entries. [[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|talk]]) 17:46, 3 May 2025 (UTC) :More automated curation of Periodicals and Newspapers on this site in the future would in general be a good thing - there's a lot of good work being done across a lot of these works but the process of creating the main-space pages for them can get very tedious and repetitive. I'm sure I'm not the only one whose had to write janky programs to semi-automate their individual workflows for some of these works. :Your idea of a distinction between '''The Somewhere Argus''' and '''Somewhere Argus''' is interesting (and as I'm not a big user of wikimedia, not something I've particularly noticed on that site), but it doesn't seem particularly intuitive to me that one should be a raw list and another a curated view (or which way round those should be, and it seems quite a big departure from how work is generally presented here. Is it done anywhere else on this site? In the past I've seen a lot of resistance to the same work being included in different main-space pages. :In terms of a curated view, that may be better done by creating a Portal for that work. For example, when I worked through the July-Dec 1914 volumes of [[Punch]], I created a summary of all of the books reviewed in that volume which I put here: [[Portal:Punch/Reviewed Books]], that wouldn't really have been appropriate to put in the main page. :Alternatively, what's stopping you from having a list of highlights and the automatic index linked from the same page? That's effectively what [[The New York Times]] does - some of the issues are highlighted (those for which enough work has been done for them to have a complete contents page) but for the rest, there are year-based automatic lists using the {{tl|header periodical}} template.

It is very similar to an idea that [[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] and I have discussed recently, which would involve creating a centralized page in the Project namespace for requests for scans to be made where no scans appear to be accessible online (which would replace [[User:TE(æ)A,ea./Requests]] in their personal user space). My suggested name was either [[WS:Requests for scans]], or making that a section of the [[WS:Scan Lab]]. FYI, because of the inter-library loan (ILL) system, very few books would actually need to be ''bought'' in order to be scanned anymore (as far as I understand it), but buying should definitely be an option for those who are willing to donate the material, in cases where ILL is not possible.

English Wikisource does not" and hinges directly on the copyright status of works concerned" My concern is that this inserts a second tangential issue into a set of paragraphs explaining copyright law. The text looks like this with the added text in '''bold''': {{blockquote| ; Non-United States publications The rules about non-United States publications can get complicated. Some works may be in the public domain in the United States even if they are still under copyright in their home countries '''(these works should be uploaded directly to Wikisource, not Wikimedia Commons)'''. Other works may be in the public domain in their home countries but still under copyright in the United States '''(these works are not eligible for inclusion on this Wikisource'''. For example, the last collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, ''[[The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes]]'', was published in 1927 }} The text is concerned with the copyright status of works, not with the uploading of files. The added text is concerned with the uploading of files, which is discussed on the page [[Help:Beginner's guide to sources]], which has a section devoted to the uploading of source files. I believe the additions to [[Help:Beginner's guide to copyright]] are intrusive, because they insert a second topic into a paragraph that is already about a complicated topic. I also believe they are superfluous, because we already have a Beginner's guide page that explains where to upload files. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 17:03, 24 May 2025 (UTC) == Tech News: 2025-22 == <section begin="technews-2025-W22"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/22|Translations]] are available. '''Weekly highlight''' * A community-wide discussion about a very delicate issue for the development of [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]] is now open on Meta: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. The discussion is open until June 12 at [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]], and every opinion is welcomed. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation. '''Updates for editors''' * Since last week, on all wikis except [[phab:T388604|the largest 20]], people using the mobile visual editor will have [[phab:T385851|additional tools in the menu bar]], accessed using the new <code>+</code> toolbar button. To start, the new menu will include options to add: citations, hieroglyphs, and code blocks. Deployment to the remaining wikis is [[phab:T388605|scheduled]] to happen in June. * [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] The <code dir=ltr>[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##ifexist|#ifexist]]</code> parser function will no longer register a link to its target page. This will improve the usefulness of [[{{#special:WantedPages}}]], which will eventually only list pages that are the target of an actual red link. This change will happen gradually as the source pages are updated. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T14019] * This week, the Moderator Tools team will launch [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], starting at Indonesian Wikipedia. This new filter highlights edits that are likely to be reverted. The goal is to help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic edits. Other wikis will benefit from this filter in the future. * Upon clicking an empty search bar, logged-out users will see suggestions of articles for further reading. The feature will be available on both desktop and mobile. Readers of Catalan, Hebrew, and Italian Wikipedias and some sister projects will receive the change between May 21 and mid-June. Readers of other wikis will receive the change later. The goal is to encourage users to read the wikis more. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments/Search Suggestions|Learn more]]. * Some users of the Wikipedia Android app can use a new feature for readers, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/TrivaGame|WikiGames]], a daily trivia game based on real historical events. The release has started as an A/B test, available to 50% of users in the following languages: English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish. * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Newsletter|Newsletter extension]] that is available on MediaWiki.org allows the creation of [[mw:Special:Newsletters|various newsletters]] for global users. The extension can now publish new issues as section links on an existing page, instead of requiring a new page for each issue.

I see it mostly used to mean "Works by" when I see it in Author space and it is separated into "Works by" and "Works about" when the two exist. That is why it looks odd in location Portal space as in [[Portal:Westbrookville, New York]]. IT looks like it the works were written by the location. [[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|talk]]) 03:15, 27 May 2025 (UTC) : I replaced the L2 "Works about ..." to "Works" to keep it consistent with what's done on most other portal entries on the site. "Works" here means "Works about". However, as of right now there appears to be no official standard for which header to use. [[Wikisource:Portal guidelines]] and [[Help:Portals]] say nothing about a "Works" section or "Works about" section. : If "Works" sections should be changed to "Works about" by some informal vote here, then it's probably best to make it an official policy. We should consider also using bots to keep up with the maintenance that would be required to standardize all portal L2s one way or the other. : Wikisource lacking structure is a massive problem here IMO, since for example Wiktionary has their quite detailed "[[wikt:WT:ELE|Entry layout explained]]" policy page, while the typical Wikisource culture is just to sorta do whatever we want in most areas that could be given a ruleset. This makes things like parsing our content especially difficult, for example. [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema|talk]]) 18:06, 27 May 2025 (UTC) ::However, there are a number of portals where "works by" is applicable - government departments, for example. ::If we want to be consistent, I think it would be best to have the same policy for both Authors and Portals. -- [[User:Beardo|Beardo]] ([[User talk:Beardo|talk]]) 19:39, 27 May 2025 (UTC) :::That would not make sense for Portals unless they are People Portals. We would never have "Works by Philosophy" as a header. And on any larger Portal, it also makes no sense to have a "Works about" header, since potentially everything on the Portal is about the subject of the Portal. But there are also Portals where the content is '''neither''' by nor about; for example [[Portal:French literature]], where the works ''are'' French literature, and not work written by French literature, nor works about French literature. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 19:44, 27 May 2025 (UTC) == Red link in Monthly Challenge == There is a red link in the monthly challenge for [[Author:Department of Defense]] - I understand that author page should not be created.

The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats. The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4]. Here are the key planned dates: * May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6] * June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates * July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5] * August 2025: Campaign period * August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period * October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates * Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]]. '''Call for Questions''' In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]] '''Election Volunteers''' Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]] Thank you!

[[meta:Community Tech|Community Tech]] are building a new feature, called [[metawiki:Community_Wishlist/Focus_areas/Template_recall_and_discovery|Favourite Templates]], that will provide a better way for new and experienced contributors to recall and discover templates via the template dialog, that works with both VisualEditor and wikitext editor. We hope this will increase dialog usage and the number of templates added. Since 2013, experienced volunteers have asked for a more intuitive template selector, exposing popular or most-used templates on the template dialog. At this stage of work, we are focusing on allowing users to put templates in a “favourite” list, so that their reuse will be easier. At a later stage, we will focus on helping users discover or find templates. We are looking for potential additional testers for Favourite Templates, and we thought you might be interested in trying it out. If so, please let us know if it is the case, we would be happy to set up a pilot. So far, the feature has been deployed successfully on Polish and Arabic Wikipedia, and we’re currently in talks with other projects for expanding the pilot phase. In addition, we’d love to hear your feedback and ideas for helping people find and insert templates. Some ideas we’ve identified are searching or browsing templates by category, or showing the number of times a template has been transcluded. Of course, we are ready to answer your questions and to give you all the information you need.

That same regulation notes that the free unlimited distribution license which is noted on the document is just to the US Gov; I don't believe the public can tap into that license to redistribute. :Perhaps someone with more US Gov works experience can chime in though.

We have ~12k indexes that just don't have ''any'' categories (out of 35583 total indexes). I think some of those affected by the bug had all their Page:s already transcluded, and so the Page:s didn't count as orphan and we didn't find them yet. The categorylink table must just have not been updated. Confirmation of this: The first thus uncategorised index reported when I queried was [[Index:!

'''Weekly highlight''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|Graph extension]]. '''Updates for editors''' * It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]]. Administrators can now set a default template by using the <code dir=ltr>_default</code> key in the local <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">[[MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json]]</bdi> page ([[mw:Special:Diff/6969653/7646386|example diff]]).

'''Updates for technical contributors''' * Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> or <code dir=ltr>action=clientlogin</code> will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Bot passwords|bot passwords]] or using a loginless authentication method such as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/Owner-only consumers|OAuth]] are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> without a bot password was deprecated [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/3EEMN7VQX5G7WMQI5K2GP5JC2336DPTD/|in 2016]]. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395205] * From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code>async</code>/<code>await</code></bdi> syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code.

The Act permits NIST to copyright Standard Reference Data. Click here for more information.) However, the government may be able to assert copyright in countries other than the United States. When official writings by NIST employees, except those covered under the Standard Reference Data Act, are submitted to a non-NIST publication, a statement should be included indicating that the material is not subject to copyright protection within the United States. If you are asked to sign a publication permission form, you should have it reviewed by the Office of the Chief Counsel for NIST prior to signing. Some journals will accept our copyright form. (In fact, some journals will request this copyright form.)

Whether or not to include the ‘not subject to copyright in the United States’ statement on manuscripts jointly authored by federal NIST employees and NIST Associates is a factual matter to be determined when the publication is drafted. :If you are asked to sign a publisher’s agreement for your publication that agreement must first be reviewed by the Office of the Chief Counsel for NIST. :If you encounter any problems with a publisher, or need any help, contact the Office of the Chief Counsel for NIST." :I think this is a yes, thoughts? —'''Matrix(!)''' <sub>ping one</sub><sup>when replying</sup> &#123;''[[User:Matrix|user]] - [[User talk:Matrix|talk?]] - [[Special:Contribs/Matrix|<sub><small><s>useless</s></small></sub>contributions]]''&#125; 11:10, 8 June 2025 (UTC) : Hmm, so that says NIST Research Associate works without other notices, are possibles. However, in respect of this specifc collection, some of the later articles are from Journals with their own copyrights and thus can't be included (because of the Journal Copyright, rather than the contributors.). On that basis, the original papers will have to be tracked down and evaluated on a paper by paper basis. :BTW for a Government agency, that response is suprisingly clear for our purposes.

Other publications note a Fourth Series which continued to 1982(?) but those entries should already be in the online system.

V22 raised the 0.9em spacing between paragraphs to 1.5em, which broke content that expected text to have similar size across skins (notably but not only {{tl|overfloat image}}). This proposal is therefore to add to [[MediaWiki:Gadget-Site.css]]: <syntaxhighlight lang="css"> .mw-body p { margin:0.4em 0 0.5em 0; } </syntaxhighlight> Technical notes: * this should have neither false positives nor false negatives given that <code>.mw-body p</code> is the exact same selector used by V22. * if site.css is loaded before the skin css, then we can just add a <code>html </code> at the start of the selector: will not change the selection (given everything's in an html), and will give it more specificity (0,1,2 vs 0,1,1). * 0.4em 0 0.5em 0 is exactly how it was in V10. * this may stop working one day whenever WMF decides to IDHT another change through; but so can the entire website, and at least we'll have a fix.

Since some of the hypothesis involve your project, we wanted to hear your thoughts too. We want to make the decision process clear: we do not yet know which option we want to use, which is why we are consulting here. We will take the arguments from the Wikimedia communities into account, and we want to consult with the different communities and hear arguments that will help us with the decision.

English Wikisource does not" and hinges directly on the copyright status of works concerned" My concern is that this inserts a second tangential issue into a set of paragraphs explaining copyright law. The text looks like this with the added text in '''bold''': {{blockquote| ; Non-United States publications The rules about non-United States publications can get complicated. Some works may be in the public domain in the United States even if they are still under copyright in their home countries '''(these works should be uploaded directly to Wikisource, not Wikimedia Commons)'''. Other works may be in the public domain in their home countries but still under copyright in the United States '''(these works are not eligible for inclusion on this Wikisource'''. For example, the last collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, ''[[The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes]]'', was published in 1927 }} The text is concerned with the copyright status of works, not with the uploading of files. The added text is concerned with the uploading of files, which is discussed on the page [[Help:Beginner's guide to sources]], which has a section devoted to the uploading of source files. I believe the additions to [[Help:Beginner's guide to copyright]] are intrusive, because they insert a second topic into a paragraph that is already about a complicated topic. I also believe they are superfluous, because we already have a Beginner's guide page that explains where to upload files. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 17:03, 24 May 2025 (UTC) == Tech News: 2025-22 == <section begin="technews-2025-W22"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

'''Weekly highlight''' * A community-wide discussion about a very delicate issue for the development of [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]] is now open on Meta: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. The discussion is open until June 12 at [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]], and every opinion is welcomed. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation. '''Updates for editors''' * Since last week, on all wikis except [[phab:T388604|the largest 20]], people using the mobile visual editor will have [[phab:T385851|additional tools in the menu bar]], accessed using the new <code>+</code> toolbar button. To start, the new menu will include options to add: citations, hieroglyphs, and code blocks. Deployment to the remaining wikis is [[phab:T388605|scheduled]] to happen in June. * [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] The <code dir=ltr>[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##ifexist|#ifexist]]</code> parser function will no longer register a link to its target page. This will improve the usefulness of [[{{#special:WantedPages}}]], which will eventually only list pages that are the target of an actual red link. This change will happen gradually as the source pages are updated. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T14019] * This week, the Moderator Tools team will launch [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], starting at Indonesian Wikipedia. This new filter highlights edits that are likely to be reverted. The goal is to help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic edits. Other wikis will benefit from this filter in the future. * Upon clicking an empty search bar, logged-out users will see suggestions of articles for further reading. The feature will be available on both desktop and mobile. Readers of Catalan, Hebrew, and Italian Wikipedias and some sister projects will receive the change between May 21 and mid-June. Readers of other wikis will receive the change later. The goal is to encourage users to read the wikis more. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments/Search Suggestions|Learn more]]. * Some users of the Wikipedia Android app can use a new feature for readers, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/TrivaGame|WikiGames]], a daily trivia game based on real historical events. The release has started as an A/B test, available to 50% of users in the following languages: English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish. * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Newsletter|Newsletter extension]] that is available on MediaWiki.org allows the creation of [[mw:Special:Newsletters|various newsletters]] for global users. The extension can now publish new issues as section links on an existing page, instead of requiring a new page for each issue.

I see it mostly used to mean "Works by" when I see it in Author space and it is separated into "Works by" and "Works about" when the two exist. That is why it looks odd in location Portal space as in [[Portal:Westbrookville, New York]]. IT looks like it the works were written by the location. [[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|talk]]) 03:15, 27 May 2025 (UTC) : I replaced the L2 "Works about ..." to "Works" to keep it consistent with what's done on most other portal entries on the site. "Works" here means "Works about". However, as of right now there appears to be no official standard for which header to use. [[Wikisource:Portal guidelines]] and [[Help:Portals]] say nothing about a "Works" section or "Works about" section. : If "Works" sections should be changed to "Works about" by some informal vote here, then it's probably best to make it an official policy. We should consider also using bots to keep up with the maintenance that would be required to standardize all portal L2s one way or the other. : Wikisource lacking structure is a massive problem here IMO, since for example Wiktionary has their quite detailed "[[wikt:WT:ELE|Entry layout explained]]" policy page, while the typical Wikisource culture is just to sorta do whatever we want in most areas that could be given a ruleset. This makes things like parsing our content especially difficult, for example. [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema|talk]]) 18:06, 27 May 2025 (UTC) ::However, there are a number of portals where "works by" is applicable - government departments, for example. ::If we want to be consistent, I think it would be best to have the same policy for both Authors and Portals. -- [[User:Beardo|Beardo]] ([[User talk:Beardo|talk]]) 19:39, 27 May 2025 (UTC) :::That would not make sense for Portals unless they are People Portals. We would never have "Works by Philosophy" as a header. And on any larger Portal, it also makes no sense to have a "Works about" header, since potentially everything on the Portal is about the subject of the Portal. But there are also Portals where the content is '''neither''' by nor about; for example [[Portal:French literature]], where the works ''are'' French literature, and not work written by French literature, nor works about French literature. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 19:44, 27 May 2025 (UTC) == Red link in Monthly Challenge == There is a red link in the monthly challenge for [[Author:Department of Defense]] - I understand that author page should not be created.

The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats. The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4]. Here are the key planned dates: * May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6] * June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates * July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5] * August 2025: Campaign period * August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period * October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates * Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]]. '''Call for Questions''' In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]] '''Election Volunteers''' Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]] Thank you!

[[meta:Community Tech|Community Tech]] are building a new feature, called [[metawiki:Community_Wishlist/Focus_areas/Template_recall_and_discovery|Favourite Templates]], that will provide a better way for new and experienced contributors to recall and discover templates via the template dialog, that works with both VisualEditor and wikitext editor. We hope this will increase dialog usage and the number of templates added. Since 2013, experienced volunteers have asked for a more intuitive template selector, exposing popular or most-used templates on the template dialog. At this stage of work, we are focusing on allowing users to put templates in a “favourite” list, so that their reuse will be easier. At a later stage, we will focus on helping users discover or find templates. We are looking for potential additional testers for Favourite Templates, and we thought you might be interested in trying it out. If so, please let us know if it is the case, we would be happy to set up a pilot. So far, the feature has been deployed successfully on Polish and Arabic Wikipedia, and we’re currently in talks with other projects for expanding the pilot phase. In addition, we’d love to hear your feedback and ideas for helping people find and insert templates. Some ideas we’ve identified are searching or browsing templates by category, or showing the number of times a template has been transcluded. Of course, we are ready to answer your questions and to give you all the information you need.

[[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 09:19, 2 June 2025 (UTC) : I place my bet on the index lua error from two months and a half ago. We have ~12k indexes that just don't have ''any'' categories (out of 35583 total indexes). I think some of those affected by the bug had all their Page:s already transcluded, and so the Page:s didn't count as orphan and we didn't find them yet. The categorylink table must just have not been updated. Confirmation of this: The first thus uncategorised index reported when I queried was [[Index:! Explosive objects in War in Ukraine, 2022 (01).jpg]]. It had page_links_updated set to 20250311190213, which is 11 march, the date of the lua index error. On a null edit, it disappeared from the list. We probably ought to get 'round to null-editing all these indexes. I'm really busy these days but I could patch up some code next week. 12k is not that much.

'''Weekly highlight''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|Graph extension]]. '''Updates for editors''' * It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]]. Administrators can now set a default template by using the <code dir=ltr>_default</code> key in the local <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">[[MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json]]</bdi> page ([[mw:Special:Diff/6969653/7646386|example diff]]). Setting this default will also help to future-proof your existing configurations when [[phab:T347823|new item types]] are added in the future. You can still set templates for individual item types as they will be preferred to the default template.

'''Updates for technical contributors''' * Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> or <code dir=ltr>action=clientlogin</code> will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Bot passwords|bot passwords]] or using a loginless authentication method such as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/Owner-only consumers|OAuth]] are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> without a bot password was deprecated [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/3EEMN7VQX5G7WMQI5K2GP5JC2336DPTD/|in 2016]]. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395205] * From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code>async</code>/<code>await</code></bdi> syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code. Until this week, the platform only allowed up to ES2016, and a few months before that, up to ES2015.

The Act permits NIST to copyright Standard Reference Data. Click here for more information.) However, the government may be able to assert copyright in countries other than the United States. When official writings by NIST employees, except those covered under the Standard Reference Data Act, are submitted to a non-NIST publication, a statement should be included indicating that the material is not subject to copyright protection within the United States.

'''Weekly highlight''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product|Trust and Safety Product team]] is finalizing work needed to roll out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] on large Wikipedias later this month. The team has worked with stewards and other users with extended rights to predict and address many use cases that may arise on larger wikis, so that community members can continue to effectively moderate and patrol temporary accounts. This will be the second of three phases of deployment – the last one will take place in September at the earliest. For more information about the recent developments on the project, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|see this update]]. If you have any comments or questions, write on the [[mw:Talk:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|talk page]], and [[m:Event:CEE Catch up Nr. 10 (June 2025)|join a CEE Catch Up]] this Tuesday. '''Updates for editors''' * [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Watchlist expiry|watchlist expiry]] feature allows editors to watch pages for a limited period of time. After that period, the page is automatically removed from your watchlist. Starting this week, you can set a preference for the default period of time to watch pages. The [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-watchlist-pageswatchlist|preferences]] also allow you to set different default watch periods for editing existing pages, pages you create, and when using rollback. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T265716] [[File:Talk pages default look (April 2023).jpg|thumb|alt=Screenshot of the visual improvements made on talk pages|Example of a talk page with the new design, in French.]] * The appearance of talk pages will change at almost all Wikipedias ([[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2024/19|some]] have already received this design change, [[phab:T379264|a few]] will get these changes later).

[https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T319146][https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T392121] * Users with specific extended rights (including administrators, bureaucrats, checkusers, oversighters, and stewards) can now have IP addresses of all temporary accounts [[phab:T358853|revealed automatically]] during time-limited periods where they need to combat high-speed account-hopping vandalism. This feature was requested by stewards. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386492] * This week, the Moderator Tools and Machine Learning teams will continue the rollout of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], releasing it to several more Wikipedias. This filter utilizes the Revert Risk model, which was created by the Research team, to highlight edits that are likely to be reverted and help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic contributions. The feature will be rolled out to the following Wikipedias: {{int:project-localized-name-afwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bnwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-cywiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-hawwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-iswiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-kkwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-simplewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-trwiki/en}}.

If you concern is having a table altogether, you could try individual lines of text, with [[:Template:Phantom]] to align the individual terms (alignment would not be preserved on all screens, but it would stop the font size shrinking when viewed in small windows, as presently). Also, very minor, but why call <nowiki>{{Right|}}</nowiki> on cell contents, when you can apply <nowiki>{{ts|ar}}|</nowiki>? Maybe it is identical, but it just seemed a little odd. P.S. There is also a quotation mark missing on the last 8 on the page, but I am not sure what the 8 is/isn't supposed to be aligned with (the 1/7th, and the 5,2,1 look like they are in slightly different columns).

V22 raised the 0.9em spacing between paragraphs to 1.5em, which broke content that expected text to have similar size across skins (notably but not only {{tl|overfloat image}}). This proposal is therefore to add to [[MediaWiki:Gadget-Site.css]]: <syntaxhighlight lang="css"> .mw-body p { margin:0.4em 0 0.5em 0; } </syntaxhighlight> Technical notes: * this should have neither false positives nor false negatives given that <code>.mw-body p</code> is the exact same selector used by V22. * if site.css is loaded before the skin css, then we can just add a <code>html </code> at the start of the selector: will not change the selection (given everything's in an html), and will give it more specificity (0,1,2 vs 0,1,1). * 0.4em 0 0.5em 0 is exactly how it was in V10. * this may stop working one day whenever WMF decides to IDHT another change through; but so can the entire website, and at least we'll have a fix.

The hand curated index looks pretty, but is always missing articles. We can have [[The Brooklyn Eagle]] as the pretty one. See how it is done at [[Jersey Journal]], scroll to the bottom and there is a link to the pretty hand-curated list, missing many articles. This is similar to how Commons does it, you have automatic index at Category:Foo, and hand curated one as Foo, that is always missing entries. [[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|talk]]) 17:46, 3 May 2025 (UTC) :More automated curation of Periodicals and Newspapers on this site in the future would in general be a good thing - there's a lot of good work being done across a lot of these works but the process of creating the main-space pages for them can get very tedious and repetitive. I'm sure I'm not the only one whose had to write janky programs to semi-automate their individual workflows for some of these works. :Your idea of a distinction between '''The Somewhere Argus''' and '''Somewhere Argus''' is interesting (and as I'm not a big user of wikimedia, not something I've particularly noticed on that site), but it doesn't seem particularly intuitive to me that one should be a raw list and another a curated view (or which way round those should be, and it seems quite a big departure from how work is generally presented here. Is it done anywhere else on this site? In the past I've seen a lot of resistance to the same work being included in different main-space pages. :In terms of a curated view, that may be better done by creating a Portal for that work. For example, when I worked through the July-Dec 1914 volumes of [[Punch]], I created a summary of all of the books reviewed in that volume which I put here: [[Portal:Punch/Reviewed Books]], that wouldn't really have been appropriate to put in the main page. :Alternatively, what's stopping you from having a list of highlights and the automatic index linked from the same page? That's effectively what [[The New York Times]] does - some of the issues are highlighted (those for which enough work has been done for them to have a complete contents page) but for the rest, there are year-based automatic lists using the {{tl|header periodical}} template.

This is the second batch of deployment planned for the project. After deployment, the projects will be able to call [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|functions from Wikifunctions]] and integrate them in their pages. A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, such as adding up two numbers, converting miles into metres, calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple call of [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Catalogue|a stable and global function]], rather than via a local template. * Later this week, the Wikimedia Foundation will publish a hub for [[diffblog:2024/07/09/on-the-value-of-experimentation/|experiments]].

For example, the last collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, ''[[The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes]]'', was published in 1927 }} The text is concerned with the copyright status of works, not with the uploading of files. The added text is concerned with the uploading of files, which is discussed on the page [[Help:Beginner's guide to sources]], which has a section devoted to the uploading of source files. I believe the additions to [[Help:Beginner's guide to copyright]] are intrusive, because they insert a second topic into a paragraph that is already about a complicated topic.

I see it mostly used to mean "Works by" when I see it in Author space and it is separated into "Works by" and "Works about" when the two exist. That is why it looks odd in location Portal space as in [[Portal:Westbrookville, New York]]. IT looks like it the works were written by the location. [[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|talk]]) 03:15, 27 May 2025 (UTC) : I replaced the L2 "Works about ..." to "Works" to keep it consistent with what's done on most other portal entries on the site. "Works" here means "Works about". However, as of right now there appears to be no official standard for which header to use. [[Wikisource:Portal guidelines]] and [[Help:Portals]] say nothing about a "Works" section or "Works about" section. : If "Works" sections should be changed to "Works about" by some informal vote here, then it's probably best to make it an official policy. We should consider also using bots to keep up with the maintenance that would be required to standardize all portal L2s one way or the other. : Wikisource lacking structure is a massive problem here IMO, since for example Wiktionary has their quite detailed "[[wikt:WT:ELE|Entry layout explained]]" policy page, while the typical Wikisource culture is just to sorta do whatever we want in most areas that could be given a ruleset. This makes things like parsing our content especially difficult, for example. [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema|talk]]) 18:06, 27 May 2025 (UTC) ::However, there are a number of portals where "works by" is applicable - government departments, for example. ::If we want to be consistent, I think it would be best to have the same policy for both Authors and Portals. -- [[User:Beardo|Beardo]] ([[User talk:Beardo|talk]]) 19:39, 27 May 2025 (UTC) :::That would not make sense for Portals unless they are People Portals. We would never have "Works by Philosophy" as a header. And on any larger Portal, it also makes no sense to have a "Works about" header, since potentially everything on the Portal is about the subject of the Portal. But there are also Portals where the content is '''neither''' by nor about; for example [[Portal:French literature]], where the works ''are'' French literature, and not work written by French literature, nor works about French literature. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 19:44, 27 May 2025 (UTC) == Red link in Monthly Challenge == There is a red link in the monthly challenge for [[Author:Department of Defense]] - I understand that author page should not be created.

The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4]. Here are the key planned dates: * May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6] * June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates * July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5] * August 2025: Campaign period * August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period * October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates * Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]]. '''Call for Questions''' In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]] '''Election Volunteers''' Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote.

[[meta:Community Tech|Community Tech]] are building a new feature, called [[metawiki:Community_Wishlist/Focus_areas/Template_recall_and_discovery|Favourite Templates]], that will provide a better way for new and experienced contributors to recall and discover templates via the template dialog, that works with both VisualEditor and wikitext editor. We hope this will increase dialog usage and the number of templates added. Since 2013, experienced volunteers have asked for a more intuitive template selector, exposing popular or most-used templates on the template dialog. At this stage of work, we are focusing on allowing users to put templates in a “favourite” list, so that their reuse will be easier. At a later stage, we will focus on helping users discover or find templates. We are looking for potential additional testers for Favourite Templates, and we thought you might be interested in trying it out. If so, please let us know if it is the case, we would be happy to set up a pilot. So far, the feature has been deployed successfully on Polish and Arabic Wikipedia, and we’re currently in talks with other projects for expanding the pilot phase. In addition, we’d love to hear your feedback and ideas for helping people find and insert templates. Some ideas we’ve identified are searching or browsing templates by category, or showing the number of times a template has been transcluded. Of course, we are ready to answer your questions and to give you all the information you need.

'''Weekly highlight''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|Graph extension]]. '''Updates for editors''' * It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]]. Administrators can now set a default template by using the <code dir=ltr>_default</code> key in the local <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">[[MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json]]</bdi> page ([[mw:Special:Diff/6969653/7646386|example diff]]). Setting this default will also help to future-proof your existing configurations when [[phab:T347823|new item types]] are added in the future. You can still set templates for individual item types as they will be preferred to the default template.

'''Updates for technical contributors''' * Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> or <code dir=ltr>action=clientlogin</code> will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Bot passwords|bot passwords]] or using a loginless authentication method such as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/Owner-only consumers|OAuth]] are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> without a bot password was deprecated [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/3EEMN7VQX5G7WMQI5K2GP5JC2336DPTD/|in 2016]]. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395205] * From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code>async</code>/<code>await</code></bdi> syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code. Until this week, the platform only allowed up to ES2016, and a few months before that, up to ES2015.

'''Weekly highlight''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product|Trust and Safety Product team]] is finalizing work needed to roll out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] on large Wikipedias later this month. The team has worked with stewards and other users with extended rights to predict and address many use cases that may arise on larger wikis, so that community members can continue to effectively moderate and patrol temporary accounts. This will be the second of three phases of deployment – the last one will take place in September at the earliest. For more information about the recent developments on the project, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|see this update]].

If you concern is having a table altogether, you could try individual lines of text, with [[:Template:Phantom]] to align the individual terms (alignment would not be preserved on all screens, but it would stop the font size shrinking when viewed in small windows, as presently). Also, very minor, but why call <nowiki>{{Right|}}</nowiki> on cell contents, when you can apply <nowiki>{{ts|ar}}|</nowiki>? Maybe it is identical, but it just seemed a little odd. P.S.

V22 raised the 0.9em spacing between paragraphs to 1.5em, which broke content that expected text to have similar size across skins (notably but not only {{tl|overfloat image}}). This proposal is therefore to add to [[MediaWiki:Gadget-Site.css]]: <syntaxhighlight lang="css"> .mw-body p { margin:0.4em 0 0.5em 0; } </syntaxhighlight> Technical notes: * this should have neither false positives nor false negatives given that <code>.mw-body p</code> is the exact same selector used by V22. * if site.css is loaded before the skin css, then we can just add a <code>html </code> at the start of the selector: will not change the selection (given everything's in an html), and will give it more specificity (0,1,2 vs 0,1,1). * 0.4em 0 0.5em 0 is exactly how it was in V10. * this may stop working one day whenever WMF decides to IDHT another change through; but so can the entire website, and at least we'll have a fix.

The hand curated index looks pretty, but is always missing articles. We can have [[The Brooklyn Eagle]] as the pretty one. See how it is done at [[Jersey Journal]], scroll to the bottom and there is a link to the pretty hand-curated list, missing many articles. This is similar to how Commons does it, you have automatic index at Category:Foo, and hand curated one as Foo, that is always missing entries.

I'm sure I'm not the only one whose had to write janky programs to semi-automate their individual workflows for some of these works. :Your idea of a distinction between '''The Somewhere Argus''' and '''Somewhere Argus''' is interesting (and as I'm not a big user of wikimedia, not something I've particularly noticed on that site), but it doesn't seem particularly intuitive to me that one should be a raw list and another a curated view (or which way round those should be, and it seems quite a big departure from how work is generally presented here. Is it done anywhere else on this site? In the past I've seen a lot of resistance to the same work being included in different main-space pages. :In terms of a curated view, that may be better done by creating a Portal for that work. For example, when I worked through the July-Dec 1914 volumes of [[Punch]], I created a summary of all of the books reviewed in that volume which I put here: [[Portal:Punch/Reviewed Books]], that wouldn't really have been appropriate to put in the main page. :Alternatively, what's stopping you from having a list of highlights and the automatic index linked from the same page?

How should we go about linking to Explanatory Notes. [[User:ToxicPea|ToxicPea]] ([[User talk:ToxicPea|talk]]) 22:25, 17 May 2025 (UTC) :I did Welsh as I did because the King's Printer version included a formal title page including the mention of the explanatory notes. With Fixed Term Parliaments, it doesn't have that page, so the inclusion of the note makes sense. We could add that to ones that do have the title page. I personally don't know if using the "next" parameter like in Specialist Printing is best, because it prevents us from using that parameter to link to the next act that year, if that's something we wanted to do. I know it's done in some other countries that have full years of acts transcluded. Similar issue in Fixed Term Parliaments using "next" for the Schedules.<br> :I think best is to link things mentioned within the title/TOC like in [[Scotland Act 1998]], including Explanatory Notes if there, and then we can mention Explanatory Notes in the "notes" of the header, and leave "previous" and "next" for linking to surrounding acts.

It is very similar to an idea that [[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] and I have discussed recently, which would involve creating a centralized page in the Project namespace for requests for scans to be made where no scans appear to be accessible online (which would replace [[User:TE(æ)A,ea./Requests]] in their personal user space). My suggested name was either [[WS:Requests for scans]], or making that a section of the [[WS:Scan Lab]]. FYI, because of the inter-library loan (ILL) system, very few books would actually need to be ''bought'' in order to be scanned anymore (as far as I understand it), but buying should definitely be an option for those who are willing to donate the material, in cases where ILL is not possible. All in all, the Purchases page has merit conceptually, but in its current implementation inserting {{tl|historical}} was the right move.

The added text is concerned with the uploading of files, which is discussed on the page [[Help:Beginner's guide to sources]], which has a section devoted to the uploading of source files.

I see it mostly used to mean "Works by" when I see it in Author space and it is separated into "Works by" and "Works about" when the two exist. That is why it looks odd in location Portal space as in [[Portal:Westbrookville, New York]]. IT looks like it the works were written by the location. [[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|talk]]) 03:15, 27 May 2025 (UTC) : I replaced the L2 "Works about ..." to "Works" to keep it consistent with what's done on most other portal entries on the site. "Works" here means "Works about". However, as of right now there appears to be no official standard for which header to use. [[Wikisource:Portal guidelines]] and [[Help:Portals]] say nothing about a "Works" section or "Works about" section. : If "Works" sections should be changed to "Works about" by some informal vote here, then it's probably best to make it an official policy. We should consider also using bots to keep up with the maintenance that would be required to standardize all portal L2s one way or the other. : Wikisource lacking structure is a massive problem here IMO, since for example Wiktionary has their quite detailed "[[wikt:WT:ELE|Entry layout explained]]" policy page, while the typical Wikisource culture is just to sorta do whatever we want in most areas that could be given a ruleset. This makes things like parsing our content especially difficult, for example. [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema|talk]]) 18:06, 27 May 2025 (UTC) ::However, there are a number of portals where "works by" is applicable - government departments, for example. ::If we want to be consistent, I think it would be best to have the same policy for both Authors and Portals. -- [[User:Beardo|Beardo]] ([[User talk:Beardo|talk]]) 19:39, 27 May 2025 (UTC) :::That would not make sense for Portals unless they are People Portals. We would never have "Works by Philosophy" as a header. And on any larger Portal, it also makes no sense to have a "Works about" header, since potentially everything on the Portal is about the subject of the Portal. But there are also Portals where the content is '''neither''' by nor about; for example [[Portal:French literature]], where the works ''are'' French literature, and not work written by French literature, nor works about French literature. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 19:44, 27 May 2025 (UTC) == Red link in Monthly Challenge == There is a red link in the monthly challenge for [[Author:Department of Defense]] - I understand that author page should not be created.

The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats. The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4]. Here are the key planned dates: * May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6] * June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates * July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5] * August 2025: Campaign period * August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period * October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates * Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]]. '''Call for Questions''' In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]] '''Election Volunteers''' Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]] Thank you!

[[meta:Community Tech|Community Tech]] are building a new feature, called [[metawiki:Community_Wishlist/Focus_areas/Template_recall_and_discovery|Favourite Templates]], that will provide a better way for new and experienced contributors to recall and discover templates via the template dialog, that works with both VisualEditor and wikitext editor. We hope this will increase dialog usage and the number of templates added. Since 2013, experienced volunteers have asked for a more intuitive template selector, exposing popular or most-used templates on the template dialog. At this stage of work, we are focusing on allowing users to put templates in a “favourite” list, so that their reuse will be easier. At a later stage, we will focus on helping users discover or find templates. We are looking for potential additional testers for Favourite Templates, and we thought you might be interested in trying it out. If so, please let us know if it is the case, we would be happy to set up a pilot. So far, the feature has been deployed successfully on Polish and Arabic Wikipedia, and we’re currently in talks with other projects for expanding the pilot phase. In addition, we’d love to hear your feedback and ideas for helping people find and insert templates. Some ideas we’ve identified are searching or browsing templates by category, or showing the number of times a template has been transcluded. Of course, we are ready to answer your questions and to give you all the information you need.

[[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 09:19, 2 June 2025 (UTC) : I place my bet on the index lua error from two months and a half ago. We have ~12k indexes that just don't have ''any'' categories (out of 35583 total indexes). I think some of those affected by the bug had all their Page:s already transcluded, and so the Page:s didn't count as orphan and we didn't find them yet. The categorylink table must just have not been updated. Confirmation of this: The first thus uncategorised index reported when I queried was [[Index:! Explosive objects in War in Ukraine, 2022 (01).jpg]]. It had page_links_updated set to 20250311190213, which is 11 march, the date of the lua index error.

'''Weekly highlight''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|Graph extension]]. '''Updates for editors''' * It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]]. Administrators can now set a default template by using the <code dir=ltr>_default</code> key in the local <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">[[MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json]]</bdi> page ([[mw:Special:Diff/6969653/7646386|example diff]]). Setting this default will also help to future-proof your existing configurations when [[phab:T347823|new item types]] are added in the future.

'''Updates for technical contributors''' * Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> or <code dir=ltr>action=clientlogin</code> will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Bot passwords|bot passwords]] or using a loginless authentication method such as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/Owner-only consumers|OAuth]] are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> without a bot password was deprecated [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/3EEMN7VQX5G7WMQI5K2GP5JC2336DPTD/|in 2016]]. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395205] * From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code>async</code>/<code>await</code></bdi> syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code. Until this week, the platform only allowed up to ES2016, and a few months before that, up to ES2015.

The Act permits NIST to copyright Standard Reference Data. Click here for more information.) However, the government may be able to assert copyright in countries other than the United States. When official writings by NIST employees, except those covered under the Standard Reference Data Act, are submitted to a non-NIST publication, a statement should be included indicating that the material is not subject to copyright protection within the United States. If you are asked to sign a publication permission form, you should have it reviewed by the Office of the Chief Counsel for NIST prior to signing. Some journals will accept our copyright form. (In fact, some journals will request this copyright form.) (External co-authors may be asked to sign an agreement transferring their copyright to the publisher, which they may choose to do.) :Sample statement: Official contribution of the National Institute of Standards and Technology; not subject to copyright in the United States. :Note that in most instances NIST Research Associates could assert copyright but may have agreed not to assert US copyright in their work done at NIST when they signed their NIST Associate’s Agreement. Whether or not to include the ‘not subject to copyright in the United States’ statement on manuscripts jointly authored by federal NIST employees and NIST Associates is a factual matter to be determined when the publication is drafted. :If you are asked to sign a publisher’s agreement for your publication that agreement must first be reviewed by the Office of the Chief Counsel for NIST. :If you encounter any problems with a publisher, or need any help, contact the Office of the Chief Counsel for NIST." :I think this is a yes, thoughts? —'''Matrix(!)''' <sub>ping one</sub><sup>when replying</sup> &#123;''[[User:Matrix|user]] - [[User talk:Matrix|talk?]] - [[Special:Contribs/Matrix|<sub><small><s>useless</s></small></sub>contributions]]''&#125; 11:10, 8 June 2025 (UTC) : Hmm, so that says NIST Research Associate works without other notices, are possibles. However, in respect of this specifc collection, some of the later articles are from Journals with their own copyrights and thus can't be included (because of the Journal Copyright, rather than the contributors.). On that basis, the original papers will have to be tracked down and evaluated on a paper by paper basis. :BTW for a Government agency, that response is suprisingly clear for our purposes.

V22 raised the 0.9em spacing between paragraphs to 1.5em, which broke content that expected text to have similar size across skins (notably but not only {{tl|overfloat image}}). This proposal is therefore to add to [[MediaWiki:Gadget-Site.css]]: <syntaxhighlight lang="css"> .mw-body p { margin:0.4em 0 0.5em 0; } </syntaxhighlight> Technical notes: * this should have neither false positives nor false negatives given that <code>.mw-body p</code> is the exact same selector used by V22. * if site.css is loaded before the skin css, then we can just add a <code>html </code> at the start of the selector: will not change the selection (given everything's in an html), and will give it more specificity (0,1,2 vs 0,1,1). * 0.4em 0 0.5em 0 is exactly how it was in V10. * this may stop working one day whenever WMF decides to IDHT another change through; but so can the entire website, and at least we'll have a fix.

The hand curated index looks pretty, but is always missing articles. We can have [[The Brooklyn Eagle]] as the pretty one.

I'm sure I'm not the only one whose had to write janky programs to semi-automate their individual workflows for some of these works. :Your idea of a distinction between '''The Somewhere Argus''' and '''Somewhere Argus''' is interesting (and as I'm not a big user of wikimedia, not something I've particularly noticed on that site), but it doesn't seem particularly intuitive to me that one should be a raw list and another a curated view (or which way round those should be, and it seems quite a big departure from how work is generally presented here. Is it done anywhere else on this site? In the past I've seen a lot of resistance to the same work being included in different main-space pages. :In terms of a curated view, that may be better done by creating a Portal for that work. For example, when I worked through the July-Dec 1914 volumes of [[Punch]], I created a summary of all of the books reviewed in that volume which I put here: [[Portal:Punch/Reviewed Books]], that wouldn't really have been appropriate to put in the main page. :Alternatively, what's stopping you from having a list of highlights and the automatic index linked from the same page? That's effectively what [[The New York Times]] does - some of the issues are highlighted (those for which enough work has been done for them to have a complete contents page) but for the rest, there are year-based automatic lists using the {{tl|header periodical}} template.

I personally don't know if using the "next" parameter like in Specialist Printing is best, because it prevents us from using that parameter to link to the next act that year, if that's something we wanted to do. I know it's done in some other countries that have full years of acts transcluded.

My suggested name was either [[WS:Requests for scans]], or making that a section of the [[WS:Scan Lab]]. FYI, because of the inter-library loan (ILL) system, very few books would actually need to be ''bought'' in order to be scanned anymore (as far as I understand it), but buying should definitely be an option for those who are willing to donate the material, in cases where ILL is not possible.

English Wikisource does not" and hinges directly on the copyright status of works concerned" My concern is that this inserts a second tangential issue into a set of paragraphs explaining copyright law. The text looks like this with the added text in '''bold''': {{blockquote| ; Non-United States publications The rules about non-United States publications can get complicated. Some works may be in the public domain in the United States even if they are still under copyright in their home countries '''(these works should be uploaded directly to Wikisource, not Wikimedia Commons)'''. Other works may be in the public domain in their home countries but still under copyright in the United States '''(these works are not eligible for inclusion on this Wikisource'''. For example, the last collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, ''[[The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes]]'', was published in 1927 }} The text is concerned with the copyright status of works, not with the uploading of files. The added text is concerned with the uploading of files, which is discussed on the page [[Help:Beginner's guide to sources]], which has a section devoted to the uploading of source files. I believe the additions to [[Help:Beginner's guide to copyright]] are intrusive, because they insert a second topic into a paragraph that is already about a complicated topic. I also believe they are superfluous, because we already have a Beginner's guide page that explains where to upload files. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 17:03, 24 May 2025 (UTC) == Tech News: 2025-22 == <section begin="technews-2025-W22"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/22|Translations]] are available. '''Weekly highlight''' * A community-wide discussion about a very delicate issue for the development of [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]] is now open on Meta: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. The discussion is open until June 12 at [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]], and every opinion is welcomed. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation. '''Updates for editors''' * Since last week, on all wikis except [[phab:T388604|the largest 20]], people using the mobile visual editor will have [[phab:T385851|additional tools in the menu bar]], accessed using the new <code>+</code> toolbar button. To start, the new menu will include options to add: citations, hieroglyphs, and code blocks. Deployment to the remaining wikis is [[phab:T388605|scheduled]] to happen in June. * [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] The <code dir=ltr>[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##ifexist|#ifexist]]</code> parser function will no longer register a link to its target page. This will improve the usefulness of [[{{#special:WantedPages}}]], which will eventually only list pages that are the target of an actual red link. This change will happen gradually as the source pages are updated. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T14019] * This week, the Moderator Tools team will launch [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], starting at Indonesian Wikipedia. This new filter highlights edits that are likely to be reverted. The goal is to help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic edits. Other wikis will benefit from this filter in the future. * Upon clicking an empty search bar, logged-out users will see suggestions of articles for further reading. The feature will be available on both desktop and mobile. Readers of Catalan, Hebrew, and Italian Wikipedias and some sister projects will receive the change between May 21 and mid-June. Readers of other wikis will receive the change later. The goal is to encourage users to read the wikis more. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments/Search Suggestions|Learn more]]. * Some users of the Wikipedia Android app can use a new feature for readers, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/TrivaGame|WikiGames]], a daily trivia game based on real historical events. The release has started as an A/B test, available to 50% of users in the following languages: English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish. * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Newsletter|Newsletter extension]] that is available on MediaWiki.org allows the creation of [[mw:Special:Newsletters|various newsletters]] for global users. The extension can now publish new issues as section links on an existing page, instead of requiring a new page for each issue.

I see it mostly used to mean "Works by" when I see it in Author space and it is separated into "Works by" and "Works about" when the two exist. That is why it looks odd in location Portal space as in [[Portal:Westbrookville, New York]]. IT looks like it the works were written by the location. [[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|talk]]) 03:15, 27 May 2025 (UTC) : I replaced the L2 "Works about ..." to "Works" to keep it consistent with what's done on most other portal entries on the site. "Works" here means "Works about". However, as of right now there appears to be no official standard for which header to use. [[Wikisource:Portal guidelines]] and [[Help:Portals]] say nothing about a "Works" section or "Works about" section. : If "Works" sections should be changed to "Works about" by some informal vote here, then it's probably best to make it an official policy. We should consider also using bots to keep up with the maintenance that would be required to standardize all portal L2s one way or the other. : Wikisource lacking structure is a massive problem here IMO, since for example Wiktionary has their quite detailed "[[wikt:WT:ELE|Entry layout explained]]" policy page, while the typical Wikisource culture is just to sorta do whatever we want in most areas that could be given a ruleset. This makes things like parsing our content especially difficult, for example. [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema|talk]]) 18:06, 27 May 2025 (UTC) ::However, there are a number of portals where "works by" is applicable - government departments, for example. ::If we want to be consistent, I think it would be best to have the same policy for both Authors and Portals. -- [[User:Beardo|Beardo]] ([[User talk:Beardo|talk]]) 19:39, 27 May 2025 (UTC) :::That would not make sense for Portals unless they are People Portals. We would never have "Works by Philosophy" as a header. And on any larger Portal, it also makes no sense to have a "Works about" header, since potentially everything on the Portal is about the subject of the Portal. But there are also Portals where the content is '''neither''' by nor about; for example [[Portal:French literature]], where the works ''are'' French literature, and not work written by French literature, nor works about French literature. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 19:44, 27 May 2025 (UTC) == Red link in Monthly Challenge == There is a red link in the monthly challenge for [[Author:Department of Defense]] - I understand that author page should not be created.

The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats. The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4]. Here are the key planned dates: * May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6] * June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates * July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5] * August 2025: Campaign period * August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period * October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates * Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]]. '''Call for Questions''' In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]] '''Election Volunteers''' Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]] Thank you!

[[meta:Community Tech|Community Tech]] are building a new feature, called [[metawiki:Community_Wishlist/Focus_areas/Template_recall_and_discovery|Favourite Templates]], that will provide a better way for new and experienced contributors to recall and discover templates via the template dialog, that works with both VisualEditor and wikitext editor. We hope this will increase dialog usage and the number of templates added. Since 2013, experienced volunteers have asked for a more intuitive template selector, exposing popular or most-used templates on the template dialog. At this stage of work, we are focusing on allowing users to put templates in a “favourite” list, so that their reuse will be easier. At a later stage, we will focus on helping users discover or find templates. We are looking for potential additional testers for Favourite Templates, and we thought you might be interested in trying it out. If so, please let us know if it is the case, we would be happy to set up a pilot. So far, the feature has been deployed successfully on Polish and Arabic Wikipedia, and we’re currently in talks with other projects for expanding the pilot phase. In addition, we’d love to hear your feedback and ideas for helping people find and insert templates. Some ideas we’ve identified are searching or browsing templates by category, or showing the number of times a template has been transcluded. Of course, we are ready to answer your questions and to give you all the information you need.

'''Weekly highlight''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|Graph extension]]. '''Updates for editors''' * It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]]. Administrators can now set a default template by using the <code dir=ltr>_default</code> key in the local <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">[[MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json]]</bdi> page ([[mw:Special:Diff/6969653/7646386|example diff]]). Setting this default will also help to future-proof your existing configurations when [[phab:T347823|new item types]] are added in the future. You can still set templates for individual item types as they will be preferred to the default template.

'''Updates for technical contributors''' * Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> or <code dir=ltr>action=clientlogin</code> will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Bot passwords|bot passwords]] or using a loginless authentication method such as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/Owner-only consumers|OAuth]] are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> without a bot password was deprecated [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/3EEMN7VQX5G7WMQI5K2GP5JC2336DPTD/|in 2016]]. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395205] * From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code>async</code>/<code>await</code></bdi> syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code. Until this week, the platform only allowed up to ES2016, and a few months before that, up to ES2015.

The Act permits NIST to copyright Standard Reference Data. Click here for more information.) However, the government may be able to assert copyright in countries other than the United States. When official writings by NIST employees, except those covered under the Standard Reference Data Act, are submitted to a non-NIST publication, a statement should be included indicating that the material is not subject to copyright protection within the United States. If you are asked to sign a publication permission form, you should have it reviewed by the Office of the Chief Counsel for NIST prior to signing. Some journals will accept our copyright form. (In fact, some journals will request this copyright form.) (External co-authors may be asked to sign an agreement transferring their copyright to the publisher, which they may choose to do.) :Sample statement: Official contribution of the National Institute of Standards and Technology; not subject to copyright in the United States. :Note that in most instances NIST Research Associates could assert copyright but may have agreed not to assert US copyright in their work done at NIST when they signed their NIST Associate’s Agreement. Whether or not to include the ‘not subject to copyright in the United States’ statement on manuscripts jointly authored by federal NIST employees and NIST Associates is a factual matter to be determined when the publication is drafted. :If you are asked to sign a publisher’s agreement for your publication that agreement must first be reviewed by the Office of the Chief Counsel for NIST. :If you encounter any problems with a publisher, or need any help, contact the Office of the Chief Counsel for NIST." :I think this is a yes, thoughts? —'''Matrix(!)''' <sub>ping one</sub><sup>when replying</sup> &#123;''[[User:Matrix|user]] - [[User talk:Matrix|talk?]] - [[Special:Contribs/Matrix|<sub><small><s>useless</s></small></sub>contributions]]''&#125; 11:10, 8 June 2025 (UTC) : Hmm, so that says NIST Research Associate works without other notices, are possibles. However, in respect of this specifc collection, some of the later articles are from Journals with their own copyrights and thus can't be included (because of the Journal Copyright, rather than the contributors.). On that basis, the original papers will have to be tracked down and evaluated on a paper by paper basis. :BTW for a Government agency, that response is suprisingly clear for our purposes.

V22 raised the 0.9em spacing between paragraphs to 1.5em, which broke content that expected text to have similar size across skins (notably but not only {{tl|overfloat image}}). This proposal is therefore to add to [[MediaWiki:Gadget-Site.css]]: <syntaxhighlight lang="css"> .mw-body p { margin:0.4em 0 0.5em 0; } </syntaxhighlight> Technical notes: * this should have neither false positives nor false negatives given that <code>.mw-body p</code> is the exact same selector used by V22. * if site.css is loaded before the skin css, then we can just add a <code>html </code> at the start of the selector: will not change the selection (given everything's in an html), and will give it more specificity (0,1,2 vs 0,1,1). * 0.4em 0 0.5em 0 is exactly how it was in V10. * this may stop working one day whenever WMF decides to IDHT another change through; but so can the entire website, and at least we'll have a fix.

For example, when I worked through the July-Dec 1914 volumes of [[Punch]], I created a summary of all of the books reviewed in that volume which I put here: [[Portal:Punch/Reviewed Books]], that wouldn't really have been appropriate to put in the main page. :Alternatively, what's stopping you from having a list of highlights and the automatic index linked from the same page? That's effectively what [[The New York Times]] does - some of the issues are highlighted (those for which enough work has been done for them to have a complete contents page) but for the rest, there are year-based automatic lists using the {{tl|header periodical}} template.

English Wikisource does not" and hinges directly on the copyright status of works concerned" My concern is that this inserts a second tangential issue into a set of paragraphs explaining copyright law. The text looks like this with the added text in '''bold''': {{blockquote| ; Non-United States publications The rules about non-United States publications can get complicated. Some works may be in the public domain in the United States even if they are still under copyright in their home countries '''(these works should be uploaded directly to Wikisource, not Wikimedia Commons)'''. Other works may be in the public domain in their home countries but still under copyright in the United States '''(these works are not eligible for inclusion on this Wikisource'''. For example, the last collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, ''[[The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes]]'', was published in 1927 }} The text is concerned with the copyright status of works, not with the uploading of files. The added text is concerned with the uploading of files, which is discussed on the page [[Help:Beginner's guide to sources]], which has a section devoted to the uploading of source files. I believe the additions to [[Help:Beginner's guide to copyright]] are intrusive, because they insert a second topic into a paragraph that is already about a complicated topic. I also believe they are superfluous, because we already have a Beginner's guide page that explains where to upload files. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 17:03, 24 May 2025 (UTC) == Tech News: 2025-22 == <section begin="technews-2025-W22"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

I see it mostly used to mean "Works by" when I see it in Author space and it is separated into "Works by" and "Works about" when the two exist. That is why it looks odd in location Portal space as in [[Portal:Westbrookville, New York]]. IT looks like it the works were written by the location. [[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|talk]]) 03:15, 27 May 2025 (UTC) : I replaced the L2 "Works about ..." to "Works" to keep it consistent with what's done on most other portal entries on the site. "Works" here means "Works about". However, as of right now there appears to be no official standard for which header to use. [[Wikisource:Portal guidelines]] and [[Help:Portals]] say nothing about a "Works" section or "Works about" section. : If "Works" sections should be changed to "Works about" by some informal vote here, then it's probably best to make it an official policy. We should consider also using bots to keep up with the maintenance that would be required to standardize all portal L2s one way or the other. : Wikisource lacking structure is a massive problem here IMO, since for example Wiktionary has their quite detailed "[[wikt:WT:ELE|Entry layout explained]]" policy page, while the typical Wikisource culture is just to sorta do whatever we want in most areas that could be given a ruleset. This makes things like parsing our content especially difficult, for example. [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema|talk]]) 18:06, 27 May 2025 (UTC) ::However, there are a number of portals where "works by" is applicable - government departments, for example. ::If we want to be consistent, I think it would be best to have the same policy for both Authors and Portals. -- [[User:Beardo|Beardo]] ([[User talk:Beardo|talk]]) 19:39, 27 May 2025 (UTC) :::That would not make sense for Portals unless they are People Portals. We would never have "Works by Philosophy" as a header. And on any larger Portal, it also makes no sense to have a "Works about" header, since potentially everything on the Portal is about the subject of the Portal. But there are also Portals where the content is '''neither''' by nor about; for example [[Portal:French literature]], where the works ''are'' French literature, and not work written by French literature, nor works about French literature. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 19:44, 27 May 2025 (UTC) == Red link in Monthly Challenge == There is a red link in the monthly challenge for [[Author:Department of Defense]] - I understand that author page should not be created.

The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats. The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4]. Here are the key planned dates: * May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6] * June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates * July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5] * August 2025: Campaign period * August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period * October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates * Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]]. '''Call for Questions''' In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]] '''Election Volunteers''' Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]] Thank you!

[[meta:Community Tech|Community Tech]] are building a new feature, called [[metawiki:Community_Wishlist/Focus_areas/Template_recall_and_discovery|Favourite Templates]], that will provide a better way for new and experienced contributors to recall and discover templates via the template dialog, that works with both VisualEditor and wikitext editor. We hope this will increase dialog usage and the number of templates added. Since 2013, experienced volunteers have asked for a more intuitive template selector, exposing popular or most-used templates on the template dialog. At this stage of work, we are focusing on allowing users to put templates in a “favourite” list, so that their reuse will be easier. At a later stage, we will focus on helping users discover or find templates. We are looking for potential additional testers for Favourite Templates, and we thought you might be interested in trying it out. If so, please let us know if it is the case, we would be happy to set up a pilot. So far, the feature has been deployed successfully on Polish and Arabic Wikipedia, and we’re currently in talks with other projects for expanding the pilot phase. In addition, we’d love to hear your feedback and ideas for helping people find and insert templates. Some ideas we’ve identified are searching or browsing templates by category, or showing the number of times a template has been transcluded. Of course, we are ready to answer your questions and to give you all the information you need.

I think some of those affected by the bug had all their Page:s already transcluded, and so the Page:s didn't count as orphan and we didn't find them yet.

Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/23|Translations]] are available. '''Weekly highlight''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|Graph extension]]. '''Updates for editors''' * It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]]. Administrators can now set a default template by using the <code dir=ltr>_default</code> key in the local <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">[[MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json]]</bdi> page ([[mw:Special:Diff/6969653/7646386|example diff]]). Setting this default will also help to future-proof your existing configurations when [[phab:T347823|new item types]] are added in the future. You can still set templates for individual item types as they will be preferred to the default template.

'''Updates for technical contributors''' * Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> or <code dir=ltr>action=clientlogin</code> will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Bot passwords|bot passwords]] or using a loginless authentication method such as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/Owner-only consumers|OAuth]] are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> without a bot password was deprecated [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/3EEMN7VQX5G7WMQI5K2GP5JC2336DPTD/|in 2016]]. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395205] * From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code>async</code>/<code>await</code></bdi> syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code. Until this week, the platform only allowed up to ES2016, and a few months before that, up to ES2015.

'''Weekly highlight''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product|Trust and Safety Product team]] is finalizing work needed to roll out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] on large Wikipedias later this month. The team has worked with stewards and other users with extended rights to predict and address many use cases that may arise on larger wikis, so that community members can continue to effectively moderate and patrol temporary accounts. This will be the second of three phases of deployment – the last one will take place in September at the earliest. For more information about the recent developments on the project, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|see this update]]. If you have any comments or questions, write on the [[mw:Talk:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|talk page]], and [[m:Event:CEE Catch up Nr. 10 (June 2025)|join a CEE Catch Up]] this Tuesday. '''Updates for editors''' * [[File:Octicons-gift.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Wishlist item]] The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Watchlist expiry|watchlist expiry]] feature allows editors to watch pages for a limited period of time. After that period, the page is automatically removed from your watchlist. Starting this week, you can set a preference for the default period of time to watch pages. The [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-watchlist-pageswatchlist|preferences]] also allow you to set different default watch periods for editing existing pages, pages you create, and when using rollback.

This feature was requested by stewards. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386492] * This week, the Moderator Tools and Machine Learning teams will continue the rollout of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], releasing it to several more Wikipedias. This filter utilizes the Revert Risk model, which was created by the Research team, to highlight edits that are likely to be reverted and help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic contributions. The feature will be rolled out to the following Wikipedias: {{int:project-localized-name-afwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bnwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-cywiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-hawwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-iswiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-kkwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-simplewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-trwiki/en}}.

If you concern is having a table altogether, you could try individual lines of text, with [[:Template:Phantom]] to align the individual terms (alignment would not be preserved on all screens, but it would stop the font size shrinking when viewed in small windows, as presently). Also, very minor, but why call <nowiki>{{Right|}}</nowiki> on cell contents, when you can apply <nowiki>{{ts|ar}}|</nowiki>? Maybe it is identical, but it just seemed a little odd. P.S. There is also a quotation mark missing on the last 8 on the page, but I am not sure what the 8 is/isn't supposed to be aligned with (the 1/7th, and the 5,2,1 look like they are in slightly different columns).

V22 raised the 0.9em spacing between paragraphs to 1.5em, which broke content that expected text to have similar size across skins (notably but not only {{tl|overfloat image}}). This proposal is therefore to add to [[MediaWiki:Gadget-Site.css]]: <syntaxhighlight lang="css"> .mw-body p { margin:0.4em 0 0.5em 0; } </syntaxhighlight> Technical notes: * this should have neither false positives nor false negatives given that <code>.mw-body p</code> is the exact same selector used by V22. * if site.css is loaded before the skin css, then we can just add a <code>html </code> at the start of the selector: will not change the selection (given everything's in an html), and will give it more specificity (0,1,2 vs 0,1,1). * 0.4em 0 0.5em 0 is exactly how it was in V10. * this may stop working one day whenever WMF decides to IDHT another change through; but so can the entire website, and at least we'll have a fix.

The hand curated index looks pretty, but is always missing articles. We can have [[The Brooklyn Eagle]] as the pretty one. See how it is done at [[Jersey Journal]], scroll to the bottom and there is a link to the pretty hand-curated list, missing many articles. This is similar to how Commons does it, you have automatic index at Category:Foo, and hand curated one as Foo, that is always missing entries.

I'm sure I'm not the only one whose had to write janky programs to semi-automate their individual workflows for some of these works. :Your idea of a distinction between '''The Somewhere Argus''' and '''Somewhere Argus''' is interesting (and as I'm not a big user of wikimedia, not something I've particularly noticed on that site), but it doesn't seem particularly intuitive to me that one should be a raw list and another a curated view (or which way round those should be, and it seems quite a big departure from how work is generally presented here. Is it done anywhere else on this site? In the past I've seen a lot of resistance to the same work being included in different main-space pages. :In terms of a curated view, that may be better done by creating a Portal for that work. For example, when I worked through the July-Dec 1914 volumes of [[Punch]], I created a summary of all of the books reviewed in that volume which I put here: [[Portal:Punch/Reviewed Books]], that wouldn't really have been appropriate to put in the main page. :Alternatively, what's stopping you from having a list of highlights and the automatic index linked from the same page?

For example, the last collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, ''[[The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes]]'', was published in 1927 }} The text is concerned with the copyright status of works, not with the uploading of files. The added text is concerned with the uploading of files, which is discussed on the page [[Help:Beginner's guide to sources]], which has a section devoted to the uploading of source files. I believe the additions to [[Help:Beginner's guide to copyright]] are intrusive, because they insert a second topic into a paragraph that is already about a complicated topic.

I see it mostly used to mean "Works by" when I see it in Author space and it is separated into "Works by" and "Works about" when the two exist. That is why it looks odd in location Portal space as in [[Portal:Westbrookville, New York]]. IT looks like it the works were written by the location. [[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|talk]]) 03:15, 27 May 2025 (UTC) : I replaced the L2 "Works about ..." to "Works" to keep it consistent with what's done on most other portal entries on the site. "Works" here means "Works about". However, as of right now there appears to be no official standard for which header to use. [[Wikisource:Portal guidelines]] and [[Help:Portals]] say nothing about a "Works" section or "Works about" section. : If "Works" sections should be changed to "Works about" by some informal vote here, then it's probably best to make it an official policy. We should consider also using bots to keep up with the maintenance that would be required to standardize all portal L2s one way or the other. : Wikisource lacking structure is a massive problem here IMO, since for example Wiktionary has their quite detailed "[[wikt:WT:ELE|Entry layout explained]]" policy page, while the typical Wikisource culture is just to sorta do whatever we want in most areas that could be given a ruleset. This makes things like parsing our content especially difficult, for example. [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema|talk]]) 18:06, 27 May 2025 (UTC) ::However, there are a number of portals where "works by" is applicable - government departments, for example. ::If we want to be consistent, I think it would be best to have the same policy for both Authors and Portals. -- [[User:Beardo|Beardo]] ([[User talk:Beardo|talk]]) 19:39, 27 May 2025 (UTC) :::That would not make sense for Portals unless they are People Portals. We would never have "Works by Philosophy" as a header.

The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats. The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4]. Here are the key planned dates: * May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6] * June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates * July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5] * August 2025: Campaign period * August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period * October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates * Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]]. '''Call for Questions''' In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]] '''Election Volunteers''' Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]] Thank you!

[[meta:Community Tech|Community Tech]] are building a new feature, called [[metawiki:Community_Wishlist/Focus_areas/Template_recall_and_discovery|Favourite Templates]], that will provide a better way for new and experienced contributors to recall and discover templates via the template dialog, that works with both VisualEditor and wikitext editor. We hope this will increase dialog usage and the number of templates added. Since 2013, experienced volunteers have asked for a more intuitive template selector, exposing popular or most-used templates on the template dialog. At this stage of work, we are focusing on allowing users to put templates in a “favourite” list, so that their reuse will be easier. At a later stage, we will focus on helping users discover or find templates. We are looking for potential additional testers for Favourite Templates, and we thought you might be interested in trying it out. If so, please let us know if it is the case, we would be happy to set up a pilot. So far, the feature has been deployed successfully on Polish and Arabic Wikipedia, and we’re currently in talks with other projects for expanding the pilot phase. In addition, we’d love to hear your feedback and ideas for helping people find and insert templates. Some ideas we’ve identified are searching or browsing templates by category, or showing the number of times a template has been transcluded. Of course, we are ready to answer your questions and to give you all the information you need.

'''Weekly highlight''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|Graph extension]]. '''Updates for editors''' * It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]]. Administrators can now set a default template by using the <code dir=ltr>_default</code> key in the local <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">[[MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json]]</bdi> page ([[mw:Special:Diff/6969653/7646386|example diff]]). Setting this default will also help to future-proof your existing configurations when [[phab:T347823|new item types]] are added in the future.

'''Updates for technical contributors''' * Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> or <code dir=ltr>action=clientlogin</code> will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Bot passwords|bot passwords]] or using a loginless authentication method such as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/Owner-only consumers|OAuth]] are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> without a bot password was deprecated [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/3EEMN7VQX5G7WMQI5K2GP5JC2336DPTD/|in 2016]]. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395205] * From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code>async</code>/<code>await</code></bdi> syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code.

'''Weekly highlight''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product|Trust and Safety Product team]] is finalizing work needed to roll out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] on large Wikipedias later this month. The team has worked with stewards and other users with extended rights to predict and address many use cases that may arise on larger wikis, so that community members can continue to effectively moderate and patrol temporary accounts. This will be the second of three phases of deployment – the last one will take place in September at the earliest. For more information about the recent developments on the project, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|see this update]].

This proposal is therefore to add to [[MediaWiki:Gadget-Site.css]]: <syntaxhighlight lang="css"> .mw-body p { margin:0.4em 0 0.5em 0; } </syntaxhighlight> Technical notes: * this should have neither false positives nor false negatives given that <code>.mw-body p</code> is the exact same selector used by V22. * if site.css is loaded before the skin css, then we can just add a <code>html </code> at the start of the selector: will not change the selection (given everything's in an html), and will give it more specificity (0,1,2 vs 0,1,1). * 0.4em 0 0.5em 0 is exactly how it was in V10. * this may stop working one day whenever WMF decides to IDHT another change through; but so can the entire website, and at least we'll have a fix. If it stops working, we can easily remove it and go back to our current state of having broken content. — [[User:Alien333|Alien]] [[User talk:Alien333|<b style="display:inline-block;line-height:100%;font-size:60%;background-image:linear-gradient(90deg,#007,#077,#070);background-clip:text;color:transparent">&ensp;3<br/>3 3</b>]] 15:39, 6 June 2025 (UTC) : {{support}} as proposer. — [[User:Alien333|Alien]] [[User talk:Alien333|<b style="display:inline-block;line-height:100%;font-size:60%;background-image:linear-gradient(90deg,#007,#077,#070);background-clip:text;color:transparent">&ensp;3<br/>3 3</b>]] 15:39, 6 June 2025 (UTC) : {{support}}, strongly.

The hand curated index looks pretty, but is always missing articles. We can have [[The Brooklyn Eagle]] as the pretty one. See how it is done at [[Jersey Journal]], scroll to the bottom and there is a link to the pretty hand-curated list, missing many articles. This is similar to how Commons does it, you have automatic index at Category:Foo, and hand curated one as Foo, that is always missing entries.

I'm sure I'm not the only one whose had to write janky programs to semi-automate their individual workflows for some of these works. :Your idea of a distinction between '''The Somewhere Argus''' and '''Somewhere Argus''' is interesting (and as I'm not a big user of wikimedia, not something I've particularly noticed on that site), but it doesn't seem particularly intuitive to me that one should be a raw list and another a curated view (or which way round those should be, and it seems quite a big departure from how work is generally presented here. Is it done anywhere else on this site? In the past I've seen a lot of resistance to the same work being included in different main-space pages. :In terms of a curated view, that may be better done by creating a Portal for that work. For example, when I worked through the July-Dec 1914 volumes of [[Punch]], I created a summary of all of the books reviewed in that volume which I put here: [[Portal:Punch/Reviewed Books]], that wouldn't really have been appropriate to put in the main page. :Alternatively, what's stopping you from having a list of highlights and the automatic index linked from the same page? That's effectively what [[The New York Times]] does - some of the issues are highlighted (those for which enough work has been done for them to have a complete contents page) but for the rest, there are year-based automatic lists using the {{tl|header periodical}} template.

Additionally, the page numbers don't match up because the page numbers go up every second page due to the welsh version of a page using the same page number as the corresponding english version. Does anyone know how to fix this. Additionally, could someone make a version of the Bilingual template that could be more useful for longer works such as [[Index:Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2023 (ASC 2023-3 kp).pdf]] so whoever ends up working on that doesn't have to use the template over 200 times in one page. [[User:ToxicPea|ToxicPea]] ([[User talk:ToxicPea|talk]]) 02:33, 16 May 2025 (UTC) :Not sure about the code for this, but would it be possible to transclude multiple pages at once like [[Template:Side by side]] using the <code><pages></code> syntax, but reset the display each page so that the first lines of each page line up?

[[User:ToxicPea|ToxicPea]] ([[User talk:ToxicPea|talk]]) 22:25, 17 May 2025 (UTC) :I did Welsh as I did because the King's Printer version included a formal title page including the mention of the explanatory notes. With Fixed Term Parliaments, it doesn't have that page, so the inclusion of the note makes sense. We could add that to ones that do have the title page. I personally don't know if using the "next" parameter like in Specialist Printing is best, because it prevents us from using that parameter to link to the next act that year, if that's something we wanted to do. I know it's done in some other countries that have full years of acts transcluded. Similar issue in Fixed Term Parliaments using "next" for the Schedules.<br> :I think best is to link things mentioned within the title/TOC like in [[Scotland Act 1998]], including Explanatory Notes if there, and then we can mention Explanatory Notes in the "notes" of the header, and leave "previous" and "next" for linking to surrounding acts.

It is very similar to an idea that [[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] and I have discussed recently, which would involve creating a centralized page in the Project namespace for requests for scans to be made where no scans appear to be accessible online (which would replace [[User:TE(æ)A,ea./Requests]] in their personal user space). My suggested name was either [[WS:Requests for scans]], or making that a section of the [[WS:Scan Lab]]. FYI, because of the inter-library loan (ILL) system, very few books would actually need to be ''bought'' in order to be scanned anymore (as far as I understand it), but buying should definitely be an option for those who are willing to donate the material, in cases where ILL is not possible. All in all, the Purchases page has merit conceptually, but in its current implementation inserting {{tl|historical}} was the right move.

The added text is concerned with the uploading of files, which is discussed on the page [[Help:Beginner's guide to sources]], which has a section devoted to the uploading of source files.

This will improve the usefulness of [[{{#special:WantedPages}}]], which will eventually only list pages that are the target of an actual red link. This change will happen gradually as the source pages are updated. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T14019] * This week, the Moderator Tools team will launch [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], starting at Indonesian Wikipedia. This new filter highlights edits that are likely to be reverted. The goal is to help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic edits. Other wikis will benefit from this filter in the future. * Upon clicking an empty search bar, logged-out users will see suggestions of articles for further reading. The feature will be available on both desktop and mobile. Readers of Catalan, Hebrew, and Italian Wikipedias and some sister projects will receive the change between May 21 and mid-June. Readers of other wikis will receive the change later. The goal is to encourage users to read the wikis more. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments/Search Suggestions|Learn more]]. * Some users of the Wikipedia Android app can use a new feature for readers, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/TrivaGame|WikiGames]], a daily trivia game based on real historical events. The release has started as an A/B test, available to 50% of users in the following languages: English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish. * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Newsletter|Newsletter extension]] that is available on MediaWiki.org allows the creation of [[mw:Special:Newsletters|various newsletters]] for global users. The extension can now publish new issues as section links on an existing page, instead of requiring a new page for each issue.

I see it mostly used to mean "Works by" when I see it in Author space and it is separated into "Works by" and "Works about" when the two exist. That is why it looks odd in location Portal space as in [[Portal:Westbrookville, New York]]. IT looks like it the works were written by the location. [[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|talk]]) 03:15, 27 May 2025 (UTC) : I replaced the L2 "Works about ..." to "Works" to keep it consistent with what's done on most other portal entries on the site. "Works" here means "Works about". However, as of right now there appears to be no official standard for which header to use. [[Wikisource:Portal guidelines]] and [[Help:Portals]] say nothing about a "Works" section or "Works about" section. : If "Works" sections should be changed to "Works about" by some informal vote here, then it's probably best to make it an official policy. We should consider also using bots to keep up with the maintenance that would be required to standardize all portal L2s one way or the other. : Wikisource lacking structure is a massive problem here IMO, since for example Wiktionary has their quite detailed "[[wikt:WT:ELE|Entry layout explained]]" policy page, while the typical Wikisource culture is just to sorta do whatever we want in most areas that could be given a ruleset. This makes things like parsing our content especially difficult, for example. [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema|talk]]) 18:06, 27 May 2025 (UTC) ::However, there are a number of portals where "works by" is applicable - government departments, for example. ::If we want to be consistent, I think it would be best to have the same policy for both Authors and Portals. -- [[User:Beardo|Beardo]] ([[User talk:Beardo|talk]]) 19:39, 27 May 2025 (UTC) :::That would not make sense for Portals unless they are People Portals. We would never have "Works by Philosophy" as a header. And on any larger Portal, it also makes no sense to have a "Works about" header, since potentially everything on the Portal is about the subject of the Portal. But there are also Portals where the content is '''neither''' by nor about; for example [[Portal:French literature]], where the works ''are'' French literature, and not work written by French literature, nor works about French literature. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 19:44, 27 May 2025 (UTC) == Red link in Monthly Challenge == There is a red link in the monthly challenge for [[Author:Department of Defense]] - I understand that author page should not be created.

The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats. The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4]. Here are the key planned dates: * May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6] * June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates * July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5] * August 2025: Campaign period * August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period * October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates * Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]]. '''Call for Questions''' In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]] '''Election Volunteers''' Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]] Thank you!

[[meta:Community Tech|Community Tech]] are building a new feature, called [[metawiki:Community_Wishlist/Focus_areas/Template_recall_and_discovery|Favourite Templates]], that will provide a better way for new and experienced contributors to recall and discover templates via the template dialog, that works with both VisualEditor and wikitext editor. We hope this will increase dialog usage and the number of templates added. Since 2013, experienced volunteers have asked for a more intuitive template selector, exposing popular or most-used templates on the template dialog. At this stage of work, we are focusing on allowing users to put templates in a “favourite” list, so that their reuse will be easier. At a later stage, we will focus on helping users discover or find templates. We are looking for potential additional testers for Favourite Templates, and we thought you might be interested in trying it out. If so, please let us know if it is the case, we would be happy to set up a pilot. So far, the feature has been deployed successfully on Polish and Arabic Wikipedia, and we’re currently in talks with other projects for expanding the pilot phase. In addition, we’d love to hear your feedback and ideas for helping people find and insert templates. Some ideas we’ve identified are searching or browsing templates by category, or showing the number of times a template has been transcluded. Of course, we are ready to answer your questions and to give you all the information you need.

We have ~12k indexes that just don't have ''any'' categories (out of 35583 total indexes). I think some of those affected by the bug had all their Page:s already transcluded, and so the Page:s didn't count as orphan and we didn't find them yet. The categorylink table must just have not been updated. Confirmation of this: The first thus uncategorised index reported when I queried was [[Index:!

The Act permits NIST to copyright Standard Reference Data. Click here for more information.) However, the government may be able to assert copyright in countries other than the United States. When official writings by NIST employees, except those covered under the Standard Reference Data Act, are submitted to a non-NIST publication, a statement should be included indicating that the material is not subject to copyright protection within the United States. If you are asked to sign a publication permission form, you should have it reviewed by the Office of the Chief Counsel for NIST prior to signing. Some journals will accept our copyright form.

V22 raised the 0.9em spacing between paragraphs to 1.5em, which broke content that expected text to have similar size across skins (notably but not only {{tl|overfloat image}}). This proposal is therefore to add to [[MediaWiki:Gadget-Site.css]]: <syntaxhighlight lang="css"> .mw-body p { margin:0.4em 0 0.5em 0; } </syntaxhighlight> Technical notes: * this should have neither false positives nor false negatives given that <code>.mw-body p</code> is the exact same selector used by V22. * if site.css is loaded before the skin css, then we can just add a <code>html </code> at the start of the selector: will not change the selection (given everything's in an html), and will give it more specificity (0,1,2 vs 0,1,1). * 0.4em 0 0.5em 0 is exactly how it was in V10. * this may stop working one day whenever WMF decides to IDHT another change through; but so can the entire website, and at least we'll have a fix.

For example, when I worked through the July-Dec 1914 volumes of [[Punch]], I created a summary of all of the books reviewed in that volume which I put here: [[Portal:Punch/Reviewed Books]], that wouldn't really have been appropriate to put in the main page. :Alternatively, what's stopping you from having a list of highlights and the automatic index linked from the same page?

With Fixed Term Parliaments, it doesn't have that page, so the inclusion of the note makes sense. We could add that to ones that do have the title page. I personally don't know if using the "next" parameter like in Specialist Printing is best, because it prevents us from using that parameter to link to the next act that year, if that's something we wanted to do. I know it's done in some other countries that have full years of acts transcluded. Similar issue in Fixed Term Parliaments using "next" for the Schedules.<br> :I think best is to link things mentioned within the title/TOC like in [[Scotland Act 1998]], including Explanatory Notes if there, and then we can mention Explanatory Notes in the "notes" of the header, and leave "previous" and "next" for linking to surrounding acts.

It is very similar to an idea that [[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] and I have discussed recently, which would involve creating a centralized page in the Project namespace for requests for scans to be made where no scans appear to be accessible online (which would replace [[User:TE(æ)A,ea./Requests]] in their personal user space). My suggested name was either [[WS:Requests for scans]], or making that a section of the [[WS:Scan Lab]]. FYI, because of the inter-library loan (ILL) system, very few books would actually need to be ''bought'' in order to be scanned anymore (as far as I understand it), but buying should definitely be an option for those who are willing to donate the material, in cases where ILL is not possible. All in all, the Purchases page has merit conceptually, but in its current implementation inserting {{tl|historical}} was the right move.

Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple call of [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Catalogue|a stable and global function]], rather than via a local template. * Later this week, the Wikimedia Foundation will publish a hub for [[diffblog:2024/07/09/on-the-value-of-experimentation/|experiments]].

If you find an unproofread/untranscluded work, you can remove it. : Sometimes sub-works that are works in their own right without the others (such a play in a collection of plays) also get listed on new text; for such works, it looks like the pratice is to only require that their part of the index be proofread and transcluded. — [[User:Alien333|Alien]] [[User talk:Alien333|<b style="display:inline-block;line-height:100%;font-size:60%;background-image:linear-gradient(90deg,#007,#077,#070);background-clip:text;color:transparent">&ensp;3<br/>3 3</b>]] 06:11, 24 May 2025 (UTC) == Radio Times == Please join the discussion at [[Talk:The Radio Times#Layout of Main Page and Individual Issue Pages]]. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); [[User talk:Pigsonthewing|Talk to Andy]]; [[Special:Contributions/Pigsonthewing|Andy's edits]]</span> 12:35, 24 May 2025 (UTC) == Beginner's guide to copyright missing a key issue == Please could someone add a bullet point to [[Help:Beginner's guide to copyright]] about what happens regarding the hosting of scans of works which are considered out-of-copyright by this Wikisource, but not by Wikimedia Commons (for example, where they are still in copyright in Europe, but not the US)? <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); [[User talk:Pigsonthewing|Talk to Andy]]; [[Special:Contributions/Pigsonthewing|Andy's edits]]</span> 13:30, 24 May 2025 (UTC) :That's not a copyright concern, but a compatibility concern, so it's covered at [[Help:Licensing compatibility]], which is linked from the bottom of the page. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 13:55, 24 May 2025 (UTC) ::It is a copyright concern, and is not about licensing. ::The page to which I referred is styled as a guide for ''Beginners'', and is where a beginner would reasonably look for such information.

English Wikisource does not" and hinges directly on the copyright status of works concerned" My concern is that this inserts a second tangential issue into a set of paragraphs explaining copyright law. The text looks like this with the added text in '''bold''': {{blockquote| ; Non-United States publications The rules about non-United States publications can get complicated. Some works may be in the public domain in the United States even if they are still under copyright in their home countries '''(these works should be uploaded directly to Wikisource, not Wikimedia Commons)'''. Other works may be in the public domain in their home countries but still under copyright in the United States '''(these works are not eligible for inclusion on this Wikisource'''. For example, the last collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, ''[[The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes]]'', was published in 1927 }} The text is concerned with the copyright status of works, not with the uploading of files. The added text is concerned with the uploading of files, which is discussed on the page [[Help:Beginner's guide to sources]], which has a section devoted to the uploading of source files. I believe the additions to [[Help:Beginner's guide to copyright]] are intrusive, because they insert a second topic into a paragraph that is already about a complicated topic. I also believe they are superfluous, because we already have a Beginner's guide page that explains where to upload files. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 17:03, 24 May 2025 (UTC) == Tech News: 2025-22 == <section begin="technews-2025-W22"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/22|Translations]] are available. '''Weekly highlight''' * A community-wide discussion about a very delicate issue for the development of [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia|Abstract Wikipedia]] is now open on Meta: where to store the abstract content that will be developed through functions from Wikifunctions and data from Wikidata. The discussion is open until June 12 at [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content|Abstract Wikipedia/Location of Abstract Content]], and every opinion is welcomed. The decision will be made and communicated after the consultation period by the Foundation. '''Updates for editors''' * Since last week, on all wikis except [[phab:T388604|the largest 20]], people using the mobile visual editor will have [[phab:T385851|additional tools in the menu bar]], accessed using the new <code>+</code> toolbar button. To start, the new menu will include options to add: citations, hieroglyphs, and code blocks. Deployment to the remaining wikis is [[phab:T388605|scheduled]] to happen in June. * [[File:Octicons-tools.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Advanced item]] The <code dir=ltr>[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##ifexist|#ifexist]]</code> parser function will no longer register a link to its target page. This will improve the usefulness of [[{{#special:WantedPages}}]], which will eventually only list pages that are the target of an actual red link. This change will happen gradually as the source pages are updated. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T14019] * This week, the Moderator Tools team will launch [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], starting at Indonesian Wikipedia. This new filter highlights edits that are likely to be reverted. The goal is to help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic edits. Other wikis will benefit from this filter in the future. * Upon clicking an empty search bar, logged-out users will see suggestions of articles for further reading. The feature will be available on both desktop and mobile. Readers of Catalan, Hebrew, and Italian Wikipedias and some sister projects will receive the change between May 21 and mid-June. Readers of other wikis will receive the change later. The goal is to encourage users to read the wikis more. [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Reading/Web/Content Discovery Experiments/Search Suggestions|Learn more]]. * Some users of the Wikipedia Android app can use a new feature for readers, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia Apps/Team/Android/TrivaGame|WikiGames]], a daily trivia game based on real historical events. The release has started as an A/B test, available to 50% of users in the following languages: English, French, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish. * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Newsletter|Newsletter extension]] that is available on MediaWiki.org allows the creation of [[mw:Special:Newsletters|various newsletters]] for global users. The extension can now publish new issues as section links on an existing page, instead of requiring a new page for each issue.

'''Updates for technical contributors''' * The previously deprecated <code dir=ltr>[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Ipblocks table|ipblocks]]</code> views in [[wikitech:Help:Wiki Replicas|Wiki Replicas]] will be removed in the beginning of June. Users are encouraged to query the new <code dir=ltr>[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Block table|block]]</code> and <code dir=ltr>[[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Block target table|block_target]]</code> views instead. * [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] Detailed code updates later this week: [[mw:MediaWiki 1.45/wmf.3|MediaWiki]] '''Meetings and events''' * [[d:Special:MyLanguage/Event:Wikidata and Sister Projects|Wikidata and Sister Projects]] is a multi-day online event that will focus on how Wikidata is integrated to Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects.

I see it mostly used to mean "Works by" when I see it in Author space and it is separated into "Works by" and "Works about" when the two exist. That is why it looks odd in location Portal space as in [[Portal:Westbrookville, New York]]. IT looks like it the works were written by the location. [[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|talk]]) 03:15, 27 May 2025 (UTC) : I replaced the L2 "Works about ..." to "Works" to keep it consistent with what's done on most other portal entries on the site. "Works" here means "Works about". However, as of right now there appears to be no official standard for which header to use. [[Wikisource:Portal guidelines]] and [[Help:Portals]] say nothing about a "Works" section or "Works about" section. : If "Works" sections should be changed to "Works about" by some informal vote here, then it's probably best to make it an official policy. We should consider also using bots to keep up with the maintenance that would be required to standardize all portal L2s one way or the other. : Wikisource lacking structure is a massive problem here IMO, since for example Wiktionary has their quite detailed "[[wikt:WT:ELE|Entry layout explained]]" policy page, while the typical Wikisource culture is just to sorta do whatever we want in most areas that could be given a ruleset. This makes things like parsing our content especially difficult, for example. [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema|talk]]) 18:06, 27 May 2025 (UTC) ::However, there are a number of portals where "works by" is applicable - government departments, for example. ::If we want to be consistent, I think it would be best to have the same policy for both Authors and Portals. -- [[User:Beardo|Beardo]] ([[User talk:Beardo|talk]]) 19:39, 27 May 2025 (UTC) :::That would not make sense for Portals unless they are People Portals. We would never have "Works by Philosophy" as a header. And on any larger Portal, it also makes no sense to have a "Works about" header, since potentially everything on the Portal is about the subject of the Portal. But there are also Portals where the content is '''neither''' by nor about; for example [[Portal:French literature]], where the works ''are'' French literature, and not work written by French literature, nor works about French literature. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 19:44, 27 May 2025 (UTC) == Red link in Monthly Challenge == There is a red link in the monthly challenge for [[Author:Department of Defense]] - I understand that author page should not be created.

The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats. The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4]. Here are the key planned dates: * May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6] * June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates * July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5] * August 2025: Campaign period * August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period * October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates * Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]]. '''Call for Questions''' In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]] '''Election Volunteers''' Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]] Thank you!

[[meta:Community Tech|Community Tech]] are building a new feature, called [[metawiki:Community_Wishlist/Focus_areas/Template_recall_and_discovery|Favourite Templates]], that will provide a better way for new and experienced contributors to recall and discover templates via the template dialog, that works with both VisualEditor and wikitext editor. We hope this will increase dialog usage and the number of templates added. Since 2013, experienced volunteers have asked for a more intuitive template selector, exposing popular or most-used templates on the template dialog. At this stage of work, we are focusing on allowing users to put templates in a “favourite” list, so that their reuse will be easier. At a later stage, we will focus on helping users discover or find templates. We are looking for potential additional testers for Favourite Templates, and we thought you might be interested in trying it out. If so, please let us know if it is the case, we would be happy to set up a pilot. So far, the feature has been deployed successfully on Polish and Arabic Wikipedia, and we’re currently in talks with other projects for expanding the pilot phase. In addition, we’d love to hear your feedback and ideas for helping people find and insert templates. Some ideas we’ve identified are searching or browsing templates by category, or showing the number of times a template has been transcluded. Of course, we are ready to answer your questions and to give you all the information you need.

I think some of those affected by the bug had all their Page:s already transcluded, and so the Page:s didn't count as orphan and we didn't find them yet. The categorylink table must just have not been updated. Confirmation of this: The first thus uncategorised index reported when I queried was [[Index:! Explosive objects in War in Ukraine, 2022 (01).jpg]]. It had page_links_updated set to 20250311190213, which is 11 march, the date of the lua index error.

'''Weekly highlight''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|Graph extension]]. '''Updates for editors''' * It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]]. Administrators can now set a default template by using the <code dir=ltr>_default</code> key in the local <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">[[MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json]]</bdi> page ([[mw:Special:Diff/6969653/7646386|example diff]]). Setting this default will also help to future-proof your existing configurations when [[phab:T347823|new item types]] are added in the future. You can still set templates for individual item types as they will be preferred to the default template.

'''Updates for technical contributors''' * Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> or <code dir=ltr>action=clientlogin</code> will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Bot passwords|bot passwords]] or using a loginless authentication method such as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/Owner-only consumers|OAuth]] are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> without a bot password was deprecated [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/3EEMN7VQX5G7WMQI5K2GP5JC2336DPTD/|in 2016]]. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395205] * From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code>async</code>/<code>await</code></bdi> syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code. Until this week, the platform only allowed up to ES2016, and a few months before that, up to ES2015.

The Act permits NIST to copyright Standard Reference Data. Click here for more information.) However, the government may be able to assert copyright in countries other than the United States. When official writings by NIST employees, except those covered under the Standard Reference Data Act, are submitted to a non-NIST publication, a statement should be included indicating that the material is not subject to copyright protection within the United States. If you are asked to sign a publication permission form, you should have it reviewed by the Office of the Chief Counsel for NIST prior to signing. Some journals will accept our copyright form. (In fact, some journals will request this copyright form.) (External co-authors may be asked to sign an agreement transferring their copyright to the publisher, which they may choose to do.) :Sample statement: Official contribution of the National Institute of Standards and Technology; not subject to copyright in the United States. :Note that in most instances NIST Research Associates could assert copyright but may have agreed not to assert US copyright in their work done at NIST when they signed their NIST Associate’s Agreement. Whether or not to include the ‘not subject to copyright in the United States’ statement on manuscripts jointly authored by federal NIST employees and NIST Associates is a factual matter to be determined when the publication is drafted. :If you are asked to sign a publisher’s agreement for your publication that agreement must first be reviewed by the Office of the Chief Counsel for NIST. :If you encounter any problems with a publisher, or need any help, contact the Office of the Chief Counsel for NIST." :I think this is a yes, thoughts? —'''Matrix(!)''' <sub>ping one</sub><sup>when replying</sup> &#123;''[[User:Matrix|user]] - [[User talk:Matrix|talk?]] - [[Special:Contribs/Matrix|<sub><small><s>useless</s></small></sub>contributions]]''&#125; 11:10, 8 June 2025 (UTC) : Hmm, so that says NIST Research Associate works without other notices, are possibles. However, in respect of this specifc collection, some of the later articles are from Journals with their own copyrights and thus can't be included (because of the Journal Copyright, rather than the contributors.). On that basis, the original papers will have to be tracked down and evaluated on a paper by paper basis. :BTW for a Government agency, that response is suprisingly clear for our purposes.

V22 raised the 0.9em spacing between paragraphs to 1.5em, which broke content that expected text to have similar size across skins (notably but not only {{tl|overfloat image}}). This proposal is therefore to add to [[MediaWiki:Gadget-Site.css]]: <syntaxhighlight lang="css"> .mw-body p { margin:0.4em 0 0.5em 0; } </syntaxhighlight> Technical notes: * this should have neither false positives nor false negatives given that <code>.mw-body p</code> is the exact same selector used by V22. * if site.css is loaded before the skin css, then we can just add a <code>html </code> at the start of the selector: will not change the selection (given everything's in an html), and will give it more specificity (0,1,2 vs 0,1,1). * 0.4em 0 0.5em 0 is exactly how it was in V10. * this may stop working one day whenever WMF decides to IDHT another change through; but so can the entire website, and at least we'll have a fix.

For example, when I worked through the July-Dec 1914 volumes of [[Punch]], I created a summary of all of the books reviewed in that volume which I put here: [[Portal:Punch/Reviewed Books]], that wouldn't really have been appropriate to put in the main page. :Alternatively, what's stopping you from having a list of highlights and the automatic index linked from the same page? That's effectively what [[The New York Times]] does - some of the issues are highlighted (those for which enough work has been done for them to have a complete contents page) but for the rest, there are year-based automatic lists using the {{tl|header periodical}} template.

English Wikisource does not" and hinges directly on the copyright status of works concerned" My concern is that this inserts a second tangential issue into a set of paragraphs explaining copyright law. The text looks like this with the added text in '''bold''': {{blockquote| ; Non-United States publications The rules about non-United States publications can get complicated. Some works may be in the public domain in the United States even if they are still under copyright in their home countries '''(these works should be uploaded directly to Wikisource, not Wikimedia Commons)'''. Other works may be in the public domain in their home countries but still under copyright in the United States '''(these works are not eligible for inclusion on this Wikisource'''. For example, the last collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, ''[[The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes]]'', was published in 1927 }} The text is concerned with the copyright status of works, not with the uploading of files. The added text is concerned with the uploading of files, which is discussed on the page [[Help:Beginner's guide to sources]], which has a section devoted to the uploading of source files. I believe the additions to [[Help:Beginner's guide to copyright]] are intrusive, because they insert a second topic into a paragraph that is already about a complicated topic. I also believe they are superfluous, because we already have a Beginner's guide page that explains where to upload files. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 17:03, 24 May 2025 (UTC) == Tech News: 2025-22 == <section begin="technews-2025-W22"/><div class="plainlinks"> Latest '''[[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News|tech news]]''' from the Wikimedia technical community.

I see it mostly used to mean "Works by" when I see it in Author space and it is separated into "Works by" and "Works about" when the two exist. That is why it looks odd in location Portal space as in [[Portal:Westbrookville, New York]]. IT looks like it the works were written by the location. [[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|talk]]) 03:15, 27 May 2025 (UTC) : I replaced the L2 "Works about ..." to "Works" to keep it consistent with what's done on most other portal entries on the site. "Works" here means "Works about". However, as of right now there appears to be no official standard for which header to use. [[Wikisource:Portal guidelines]] and [[Help:Portals]] say nothing about a "Works" section or "Works about" section. : If "Works" sections should be changed to "Works about" by some informal vote here, then it's probably best to make it an official policy. We should consider also using bots to keep up with the maintenance that would be required to standardize all portal L2s one way or the other. : Wikisource lacking structure is a massive problem here IMO, since for example Wiktionary has their quite detailed "[[wikt:WT:ELE|Entry layout explained]]" policy page, while the typical Wikisource culture is just to sorta do whatever we want in most areas that could be given a ruleset. This makes things like parsing our content especially difficult, for example. [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema|talk]]) 18:06, 27 May 2025 (UTC) ::However, there are a number of portals where "works by" is applicable - government departments, for example. ::If we want to be consistent, I think it would be best to have the same policy for both Authors and Portals. -- [[User:Beardo|Beardo]] ([[User talk:Beardo|talk]]) 19:39, 27 May 2025 (UTC) :::That would not make sense for Portals unless they are People Portals. We would never have "Works by Philosophy" as a header. And on any larger Portal, it also makes no sense to have a "Works about" header, since potentially everything on the Portal is about the subject of the Portal. But there are also Portals where the content is '''neither''' by nor about; for example [[Portal:French literature]], where the works ''are'' French literature, and not work written by French literature, nor works about French literature. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 19:44, 27 May 2025 (UTC) == Red link in Monthly Challenge == There is a red link in the monthly challenge for [[Author:Department of Defense]] - I understand that author page should not be created.

The Board invites the whole movement to participate in this year’s selection process and vote to fill those seats. The Elections Committee will oversee this process with support from Foundation staff [2]. The Governance Committee, composed of trustees who are not candidates in the 2025 community-and-affiliate-selected trustee selection process (Raju Narisetti, Shani Evenstein Sigalov, Lorenzo Losa, Kathy Collins, Victoria Doronina and Esra’a Al Shafei) [3], is tasked with providing Board oversight for the 2025 trustee selection process and for keeping the Board informed. More details on the roles of the Elections Committee, Board, and staff are here [4]. Here are the key planned dates: * May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6] * June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates * July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5] * August 2025: Campaign period * August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period * October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates * Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]]. '''Call for Questions''' In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]] '''Election Volunteers''' Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]] Thank you!

[[meta:Community Tech|Community Tech]] are building a new feature, called [[metawiki:Community_Wishlist/Focus_areas/Template_recall_and_discovery|Favourite Templates]], that will provide a better way for new and experienced contributors to recall and discover templates via the template dialog, that works with both VisualEditor and wikitext editor. We hope this will increase dialog usage and the number of templates added. Since 2013, experienced volunteers have asked for a more intuitive template selector, exposing popular or most-used templates on the template dialog. At this stage of work, we are focusing on allowing users to put templates in a “favourite” list, so that their reuse will be easier. At a later stage, we will focus on helping users discover or find templates. We are looking for potential additional testers for Favourite Templates, and we thought you might be interested in trying it out. If so, please let us know if it is the case, we would be happy to set up a pilot. So far, the feature has been deployed successfully on Polish and Arabic Wikipedia, and we’re currently in talks with other projects for expanding the pilot phase. In addition, we’d love to hear your feedback and ideas for helping people find and insert templates. Some ideas we’ve identified are searching or browsing templates by category, or showing the number of times a template has been transcluded. Of course, we are ready to answer your questions and to give you all the information you need.

I think some of those affected by the bug had all their Page:s already transcluded, and so the Page:s didn't count as orphan and we didn't find them yet.

Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2025/23|Translations]] are available. '''Weekly highlight''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|Graph extension]]. '''Updates for editors''' * It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]]. Administrators can now set a default template by using the <code dir=ltr>_default</code> key in the local <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">[[MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json]]</bdi> page ([[mw:Special:Diff/6969653/7646386|example diff]]). Setting this default will also help to future-proof your existing configurations when [[phab:T347823|new item types]] are added in the future. You can still set templates for individual item types as they will be preferred to the default template.

'''Updates for technical contributors''' * Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> or <code dir=ltr>action=clientlogin</code> will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Bot passwords|bot passwords]] or using a loginless authentication method such as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/Owner-only consumers|OAuth]] are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> without a bot password was deprecated [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/3EEMN7VQX5G7WMQI5K2GP5JC2336DPTD/|in 2016]]. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395205] * From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code>async</code>/<code>await</code></bdi> syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code. Until this week, the platform only allowed up to ES2016, and a few months before that, up to ES2015.

'''Weekly highlight''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product|Trust and Safety Product team]] is finalizing work needed to roll out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] on large Wikipedias later this month. The team has worked with stewards and other users with extended rights to predict and address many use cases that may arise on larger wikis, so that community members can continue to effectively moderate and patrol temporary accounts. This will be the second of three phases of deployment – the last one will take place in September at the earliest. For more information about the recent developments on the project, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|see this update]]. If you have any comments or questions, write on the [[mw:Talk:Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|talk page]], and [[m:Event:CEE Catch up Nr. 10 (June 2025)|join a CEE Catch Up]] this Tuesday.

After that period, the page is automatically removed from your watchlist. Starting this week, you can set a preference for the default period of time to watch pages. The [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-watchlist-pageswatchlist|preferences]] also allow you to set different default watch periods for editing existing pages, pages you create, and when using rollback.

This feature was requested by stewards. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T386492] * This week, the Moderator Tools and Machine Learning teams will continue the rollout of [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/2025 RecentChanges Language Agnostic Revert Risk Filtering|a new filter to Recent Changes]], releasing it to several more Wikipedias. This filter utilizes the Revert Risk model, which was created by the Research team, to highlight edits that are likely to be reverted and help Recent Changes patrollers identify potentially problematic contributions. The feature will be rolled out to the following Wikipedias: {{int:project-localized-name-afwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-bnwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-cywiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-hawwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-iswiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-kkwiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-simplewiki/en}}{{int:comma-separator/en}}{{int:project-localized-name-trwiki/en}}.

If you concern is having a table altogether, you could try individual lines of text, with [[:Template:Phantom]] to align the individual terms (alignment would not be preserved on all screens, but it would stop the font size shrinking when viewed in small windows, as presently). Also, very minor, but why call <nowiki>{{Right|}}</nowiki> on cell contents, when you can apply <nowiki>{{ts|ar}}|</nowiki>? Maybe it is identical, but it just seemed a little odd. P.S. There is also a quotation mark missing on the last 8 on the page, but I am not sure what the 8 is/isn't supposed to be aligned with (the 1/7th, and the 5,2,1 look like they are in slightly different columns).

V22 raised the 0.9em spacing between paragraphs to 1.5em, which broke content that expected text to have similar size across skins (notably but not only {{tl|overfloat image}}). This proposal is therefore to add to [[MediaWiki:Gadget-Site.css]]: <syntaxhighlight lang="css"> .mw-body p { margin:0.4em 0 0.5em 0; } </syntaxhighlight> Technical notes: * this should have neither false positives nor false negatives given that <code>.mw-body p</code> is the exact same selector used by V22. * if site.css is loaded before the skin css, then we can just add a <code>html </code> at the start of the selector: will not change the selection (given everything's in an html), and will give it more specificity (0,1,2 vs 0,1,1). * 0.4em 0 0.5em 0 is exactly how it was in V10. * this may stop working one day whenever WMF decides to IDHT another change through; but so can the entire website, and at least we'll have a fix.

The hand curated index looks pretty, but is always missing articles. We can have [[The Brooklyn Eagle]] as the pretty one. See how it is done at [[Jersey Journal]], scroll to the bottom and there is a link to the pretty hand-curated list, missing many articles. This is similar to how Commons does it, you have automatic index at Category:Foo, and hand curated one as Foo, that is always missing entries.

I'm sure I'm not the only one whose had to write janky programs to semi-automate their individual workflows for some of these works. :Your idea of a distinction between '''The Somewhere Argus''' and '''Somewhere Argus''' is interesting (and as I'm not a big user of wikimedia, not something I've particularly noticed on that site), but it doesn't seem particularly intuitive to me that one should be a raw list and another a curated view (or which way round those should be, and it seems quite a big departure from how work is generally presented here. Is it done anywhere else on this site? In the past I've seen a lot of resistance to the same work being included in different main-space pages. :In terms of a curated view, that may be better done by creating a Portal for that work. For example, when I worked through the July-Dec 1914 volumes of [[Punch]], I created a summary of all of the books reviewed in that volume which I put here: [[Portal:Punch/Reviewed Books]], that wouldn't really have been appropriate to put in the main page. :Alternatively, what's stopping you from having a list of highlights and the automatic index linked from the same page?

This is the second batch of deployment planned for the project. After deployment, the projects will be able to call [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Introduction|functions from Wikifunctions]] and integrate them in their pages. A function is something that takes one or more inputs and transforms them into a desired output, such as adding up two numbers, converting miles into metres, calculating how much time has passed since an event, or declining a word into a case. Wikifunctions will allow users to do that through a simple call of [[f:Special:MyLanguage/Wikifunctions:Catalogue|a stable and global function]], rather than via a local template. * Later this week, the Wikimedia Foundation will publish a hub for [[diffblog:2024/07/09/on-the-value-of-experimentation/|experiments]].

Other works may be in the public domain in their home countries but still under copyright in the United States '''(these works are not eligible for inclusion on this Wikisource'''. For example, the last collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, ''[[The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes]]'', was published in 1927 }} The text is concerned with the copyright status of works, not with the uploading of files. The added text is concerned with the uploading of files, which is discussed on the page [[Help:Beginner's guide to sources]], which has a section devoted to the uploading of source files. I believe the additions to [[Help:Beginner's guide to copyright]] are intrusive, because they insert a second topic into a paragraph that is already about a complicated topic.

I see it mostly used to mean "Works by" when I see it in Author space and it is separated into "Works by" and "Works about" when the two exist. That is why it looks odd in location Portal space as in [[Portal:Westbrookville, New York]]. IT looks like it the works were written by the location. [[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|talk]]) 03:15, 27 May 2025 (UTC) : I replaced the L2 "Works about ..." to "Works" to keep it consistent with what's done on most other portal entries on the site. "Works" here means "Works about". However, as of right now there appears to be no official standard for which header to use. [[Wikisource:Portal guidelines]] and [[Help:Portals]] say nothing about a "Works" section or "Works about" section. : If "Works" sections should be changed to "Works about" by some informal vote here, then it's probably best to make it an official policy. We should consider also using bots to keep up with the maintenance that would be required to standardize all portal L2s one way or the other. : Wikisource lacking structure is a massive problem here IMO, since for example Wiktionary has their quite detailed "[[wikt:WT:ELE|Entry layout explained]]" policy page, while the typical Wikisource culture is just to sorta do whatever we want in most areas that could be given a ruleset. This makes things like parsing our content especially difficult, for example. [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema|talk]]) 18:06, 27 May 2025 (UTC) ::However, there are a number of portals where "works by" is applicable - government departments, for example. ::If we want to be consistent, I think it would be best to have the same policy for both Authors and Portals. -- [[User:Beardo|Beardo]] ([[User talk:Beardo|talk]]) 19:39, 27 May 2025 (UTC) :::That would not make sense for Portals unless they are People Portals. We would never have "Works by Philosophy" as a header. And on any larger Portal, it also makes no sense to have a "Works about" header, since potentially everything on the Portal is about the subject of the Portal. But there are also Portals where the content is '''neither''' by nor about; for example [[Portal:French literature]], where the works ''are'' French literature, and not work written by French literature, nor works about French literature. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 19:44, 27 May 2025 (UTC) == Red link in Monthly Challenge == There is a red link in the monthly challenge for [[Author:Department of Defense]] - I understand that author page should not be created.

Here are the key planned dates: * May 22 – June 5: Announcement (this communication) and call for questions period [6] * June 17 – July 1, 2025: Call for candidates * July 2025: If needed, affiliates vote to shortlist candidates if more than 10 apply [5] * August 2025: Campaign period * August – September 2025: Two-week community voting period * October – November 2025: Background check of selected candidates * Board’s Meeting in December 2025: New trustees seated Learn more about the 2025 selection process - including the detailed timeline, the candidacy process, the campaign rules, and the voter eligibility criteria - on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025|[link]]]. '''Call for Questions''' In each selection process, the community has the opportunity to submit questions for the Board of Trustees candidates to answer. The Election Committee selects questions from the list developed by the community for the candidates to answer. Candidates must answer all the required questions in the application in order to be eligible; otherwise their application will be disqualified. This year, the Election Committee will select 5 questions for the candidates to answer. The selected questions may be a combination of what’s been submitted from the community, if they’re alike or related. [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Questions_for_candidates|[link]]] '''Election Volunteers''' Another way to be involved with the 2025 selection process is to be an Election Volunteer. Election Volunteers are a bridge between the Elections Committee and their respective community. They help ensure their community is represented and mobilize them to vote. Learn more about the program and how to join on this Meta-wiki page [[m:Wikimedia_Foundation_elections/2025/Election_volunteers|[link].]] Thank you!

[[meta:Community Tech|Community Tech]] are building a new feature, called [[metawiki:Community_Wishlist/Focus_areas/Template_recall_and_discovery|Favourite Templates]], that will provide a better way for new and experienced contributors to recall and discover templates via the template dialog, that works with both VisualEditor and wikitext editor. We hope this will increase dialog usage and the number of templates added. Since 2013, experienced volunteers have asked for a more intuitive template selector, exposing popular or most-used templates on the template dialog. At this stage of work, we are focusing on allowing users to put templates in a “favourite” list, so that their reuse will be easier. At a later stage, we will focus on helping users discover or find templates. We are looking for potential additional testers for Favourite Templates, and we thought you might be interested in trying it out. If so, please let us know if it is the case, we would be happy to set up a pilot. So far, the feature has been deployed successfully on Polish and Arabic Wikipedia, and we’re currently in talks with other projects for expanding the pilot phase. In addition, we’d love to hear your feedback and ideas for helping people find and insert templates. Some ideas we’ve identified are searching or browsing templates by category, or showing the number of times a template has been transcluded. Of course, we are ready to answer your questions and to give you all the information you need.

'''Weekly highlight''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Chart extension]] is now available on all Wikimedia wikis. Editors can use this new extension to create interactive data visualizations like bar, line, area, and pie charts. Charts are designed to replace many of the uses of the legacy [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|Graph extension]]. '''Updates for editors''' * It is now easier to configure automatic citations for your wiki within the visual editor's [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Citoid/Enabling Citoid on your wiki|citation generator]]. Administrators can now set a default template by using the <code dir=ltr>_default</code> key in the local <bdi lang="en" dir="ltr">[[MediaWiki:Citoid-template-type-map.json]]</bdi> page ([[mw:Special:Diff/6969653/7646386|example diff]]). Setting this default will also help to future-proof your existing configurations when [[phab:T347823|new item types]] are added in the future. You can still set templates for individual item types as they will be preferred to the default template.

'''Updates for technical contributors''' * Starting the week of June 2, bots logging in using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> or <code dir=ltr>action=clientlogin</code> will fail more often. This is because of stronger protections against suspicious logins. Bots using [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Manual:Bot passwords|bot passwords]] or using a loginless authentication method such as [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/OAuth/Owner-only consumers|OAuth]] are not affected. If your bot is not using one of those, you should update it; using <code dir=ltr>action=login</code> without a bot password was deprecated [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/message/3EEMN7VQX5G7WMQI5K2GP5JC2336DPTD/|in 2016]]. For most bots, this only requires changing what password the bot uses. [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T395205] * From this week, Wikimedia wikis will allow ES2017 features in JavaScript code for official code, gadgets, and user scripts. The most visible feature of ES2017 is <bdi lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><code>async</code>/<code>await</code></bdi> syntax, allowing for easier-to-read code. Until this week, the platform only allowed up to ES2016, and a few months before that, up to ES2015.

'''Weekly highlight''' * The [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product|Trust and Safety Product team]] is finalizing work needed to roll out [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts|temporary accounts]] on large Wikipedias later this month. The team has worked with stewards and other users with extended rights to predict and address many use cases that may arise on larger wikis, so that community members can continue to effectively moderate and patrol temporary accounts. This will be the second of three phases of deployment – the last one will take place in September at the earliest. For more information about the recent developments on the project, [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Trust and Safety Product/Temporary Accounts/Updates|see this update]].

If you concern is having a table altogether, you could try individual lines of text, with [[:Template:Phantom]] to align the individual terms (alignment would not be preserved on all screens, but it would stop the font size shrinking when viewed in small windows, as presently). Also, very minor, but why call <nowiki>{{Right|}}</nowiki> on cell contents, when you can apply <nowiki>{{ts|ar}}|</nowiki>? Maybe it is identical, but it just seemed a little odd. P.S.

It was defined and published as such by the original author. Those are creations of, often, multiple editors meaning that the contents are not necessarily agreed upon. ::::::::::::3. It was envisioned as a concept from the original author, not a tying together of works later by others. ::::::::::::etc. ::::::::::::The argument, "it wasn't completed" is also not a particularly compelling one. Lots of works are unfinished, I have never heard the argument, we can't host play X as "Play X" because only 4/5 acts were written before the playwright died, or we can't host an unfinished novel as X because it is unfinished. And I doubt that is really a key distinction in your mind anyways, I can't imagine given the comparisons you are making that you would be comfortable hosting it if Balzac lived to 71, completed the original planned 46 novels but not if he lived to 70 and completed 45.5 out of the 46. ::::::::::::[[User:MarkLSteadman|MarkLSteadman]] ([[User talk:MarkLSteadman|talk]]) 23:41, 8 October 2024 (UTC) :::::::::::::Re: "It was defined and published as such by the original author".

There wasn't a clear precedent when I created these, so I don't think they're covered (or prohibited as far as I know) by any existing policies, but please could we discuss this at the Scriptorium to decide a precedent one way or the other before deletion, as I think there's a strong case for having translations pages for anthologies from other languages (such as, for example [[Grimm's Household Tales]]), that show links to individual short stories that have been translated, ''especially'' in instances where there have been no complete translations of the entire anthology. Many of these anthologies are notable (such as [[Gespensterbuch]]), and having a single link from Wikipedia for readers to easily view all English translations of short stories from them would be very helpful (especially in cases such as [[Fantasmagoriana]], which has several authors and so no straightforward way to link to here without a separate page like this). If it's decided to put these purely in author pages, then it would be good to decide what is the best way to do this in practice (e.g. some authors have many short stories – so should these short stories be sorted alphabetically by title [if so, most widely used English translation, or original language? – either way would make it difficult for readers to find all stories in a given anthology at a glance], or by year of first publication? Should these short story bullet points list the anthology that it was first published in [in which case, some authors like [[Author:Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann|E.T.A. Hoffmann]] tended to publish the stories individually in annuals first, and only later collect them in his best known anthology ''Die Serapionsbrüder'' – so it would be difficult for readers, as at present, to find all translations of the ''Serapionsbrüder'' translations from the author page], or all anthologies, or perhaps just notable ones [if so, how do you define this]?) I guess my point is that the situation is quite complex, and I think there's a strong benefit to readers in having these, and very little to lose by having them, as long as we define clearly situations where they are unnecessary (e.g. perhaps in cases where only one story has been translated into English).

Another example I gave, [[Grimm's Household Tales]], also has about half the stories with links – do you agree that there is still value in having this page as it is, or would you prefer to delete the Individual Tales section? As a result, I think they should be counted as translations pages, and that any non-English anthologies that have had more than one story translated into English should be given translations pages like this (I would prefer them to have complete lists of contents, rather than only including the tales that have been translated, as it helps readers to see which stories have been translated, and which ones haven't, but again I'm aware that there has been no discussion on this yet and opinions may differ). You could argue that these should be portals, but I think there are several reasons translations pages would be best – either way I think would be good to get a broader community consensus on this.

In which case, all of the entries on [[Grimm's Household Tales]] should be deleted as none of them are complete, as well as the list of individual stories, which are also not publications. There are very likely to be many, many other examples like this. Excluding translations that are published as part of larger works would also exclude a huge number of novels (for example, many of the transcriptions of Goethe's novels are published in larger collected works).

I'd argue that as they're not in contravention of any rules, and there's a precedent for doing this, they should not be deleted until there's been a wider discussion to settle this point first, or a very clear consensus that they should go. If the latter, I would ask that we settle the scope of what can and cannot be included on the translations pages of anthologies, as this will affect many other pages, and it seems extremely unfair to delete without setting up clear guidelines – otherwise how am I, or other editors, to know whether my (or their) past, current, or future work will be deleted later down the line? --<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.15em 0.15em 0.1em">[[User:Yodin|Yodin]]</span><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.25em 0.25em 0.12em"><sup>[[User talk:Yodin|T]]</sup></span> 22:04, 28 February 2025 (UTC) ::::::You are confusing Translations pages with Versions pages that use a translation header template.

I have my opinion that having the context for these work in their original publication is valuable on the merits, you are free to disagree, and I feel that there are common enough occurrences / enough uncertainty within policy statements that there isn't consensus. If more people chime in, I am happy to defer to community consensus.

If we can host a page for ''Cicaden'', listing a work that was translated, but for which the translation was '''not''' in ''Cicaden'', nor part of a translation of ''Cicaden'', then could the Loeb page link to just ''any'' translation of the same classical work, by any translator, published anywhere?

Loeb is a series of translations into English, so its page is about ''those specific translations into English'', while translations pages are another thing altogether: they are about one non-English work, and list all translations of that work into English (I think we agree above, re Grimm, that these do not have to be full translations – partial translations into English are ok – and sometimes they contain translations not in the original text too – however you seem to be saying that translations must be published as separate works in their own right, though there are many cases where this is not the case, e.g. the ''Works of Goethe'' mentioned above). I'm confused when you say {{tqi|the translation was '''not''' in ''Cicaden'', nor part of a translation of ''Cicaden''}}, as translations of non-English works are never ''in'' the non-English work (by definition) and the translation linked to there ''is'' a translation of part of ''Cicaden'' (in a sense, the translation when considered alone is an {{tqi|incomplete edition}} of ''Cicaden'', to paraphrase the term you gave above). --<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.15em 0.15em 0.1em">[[User:Yodin|Yodin]]</span><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.25em 0.25em 0.12em"><sup>[[User talk:Yodin|T]]</sup></span> 09:07, 19 March 2025 (UTC) ::::::::::::::@[[User:Yodin|Yodin]]: Your response dodges the question by stretching the analogy past its intended point of application. ::::::::::::::@[[User:MarkLSteadman|MarkLSteadman]] What do you think? --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 23:37, 19 March 2025 (UTC) @[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]]: you still haven't said which rules or guidelines prevent translations pages of anthologies, such as these, from linking to individual stories, yet seem to be implying that this is a settled question.

They would seem to me to be about linking to various pages within a wider project of translating the German originals. The pages don't sit comfortably in Mainspace: as they are not works themselves, nor are they any of our type of disambiguation page. Portal: namespace is much more suitable. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 08:30, 20 March 2025 (UTC) *:@[[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] I wouldn't be against this – but I think allowing translations pages to link to individual stories/poems is a better option for a couple of reasons: in cases where there are both full translations '''and''' individual story translations (such as [[Grimm's Household Tales]] and [[Fables (Aesop)]]), it would be easier for readers to have both on the same page, rather than a See also section with a link to a Portal: page (as I think most readers would have no idea what a portal is, or why they would have to go there to see another list about the same work). In cases where an author has some anthologies that have been translated as complete works, and other anthologies where each story has been translated separately (such as [[Author:Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann|E. T. A. Hoffmann]], where ''Die Serapionsbrüder'' has been translated in one work, while ''Nachtstücke'' has had each story translated separately) it would be strange to link from the author page to a translations page for one, and a portal for the other – again I think this would confuse readers for no good reason. I would also not be surprised if overzealous Wikidatarers several years from now objected to some Wikidata items for anthologies linking to portal pages here while other anthologies linked to mainspace translations pages! But all that said, I'm glad to be able to discuss this and wouldn't be devastated if portals was what the community consensus agreed on – but as this affects many existing translations pages, not just the three nominated here, and because there's been precedent for many years of translations pages containing "Individual stories" sections, I hope it would be possible to have a Scriptorium discussion to settle the issue first, and ideally create a set of guidelines for the best way to handle this, which we could then apply to ''all'' of these pages. --<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.15em 0.15em 0.1em">[[User:Yodin|Yodin]]</span><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.25em 0.25em 0.12em"><sup>[[User talk:Yodin|T]]</sup></span> 10:32, 20 March 2025 (UTC) ==[[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven, in Fife-shire.pdf]]== This scan is missing two pages; we have several other copies of the same work ([[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (1).pdf|1]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (2).pdf|2]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (3).pdf|3]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (3).pdf|4]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (3).pdf|5]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fifeshire.pdf|6]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buckhaven in Fife-shire.pdf|7]]).

It wouldn't surprise me if we found a later anthology of treaties that does a presentation exactly like here of them together while others treat them separately (and possibly being the origin of the comparative foot notes). A similar example is the Treaty / Peace of Westphalia, "the collective name for two peace treaties," where you might have editions that print both treaties as one thing (hence "versions") while other editions that print each of the two treaties separately (hence "disambiguation"). Until this is sourced it is hard to know which our current example is, it might have been a copy of a later edition that did the joining / annotations or it might have been the user.

To do so, we need to briefly introduce the history of these texts. Ravachol was arrested and put on trial at the beginning of 1892; during his second trial, he was accused of having committed murders and was facing the death penalty (which he would ultimately receive). He wrote a text to read during the trial, but it was refused by the judge, and Ravachol gave it to his lawyer, Louis Lagasse, on 21st? 22nd? June 1892. On the manuscript, we see two hands: the first corresponds to that of Ravachol, and he corrects his own text by making deletions and changing words, and the second, which does not use the same ink, calligraphy, or spelling. This second hand corrects only the spelling mistakes, so it’s not really important for this discussion, but I mention it anyway. Lagasse passes this text on to the conservative newspaper Le Temps, which republishes it on 23rd June 1892, largely based on the manuscript (although they add punctuation and make some mistakes in reading, the text remains 95% the same, we could say, differing only on orthographic issues here and there). :This first published version was heavily criticised by French anarchist circles, notably ''La Révolte'', the main French anarchist newspaper of the time (or at least one of the main ones, even if it was losing momentum at the time, but that doesn’t matter much). They found it too ‘stupid’ and not good enough; and ten days later, on 3rd July 1892, Lagasse publishes the second version – which is the one that went down in history but differs greatly from Ravachol’s text. I made a small compilation of the most notable differences, and the text is not very long, so removing or adding a paragraph – something already not insignificant in a long work – is really huge here. There are three types of differences, since I’ll skip over the spelling and typographical questions, which are not very relevant and belong more to the ‘normal’ editorial work, let’s say – Lagasse adds passages, Lagasse removes passages, Lagasse rewrites passages. I think in the sample you have a bit of each; the conclusion, for example, is completely Lagasse’s creation – he makes a sort of lyrical outburst about the fact that he (Lagasse's Ravachol) is merely a worker and that this would give him a particular relationship to repression, etc – which is typically the kind of rhetoric one can find in the bourgeois imaginary of that time, by the way. In the sample, we also see a long passage about his relation to anarchism, the reasons why he chose it, and what he envisions for the future, which Lagasse removes altogether; there are also passages where he talks about manual trades (silk work, baking), characteristic of the working class of the fin de siècle, and one might note that silk work is a profession particularly present in Montbrison, where he was being tried and where he was born; so we probably have here a kind of historical opening either onto his choice of using that example or a reinforcement of the fact that the imaginary he develops in his text is deeply marked by the working-class world of his time. Lagasse removes that. :In my view, we should keep both; because the text given by Lagasse had an influence on the history of the left, which never read the manuscript nor the edition of the manuscript in Le Temps, if you will; but at the same time, if we had to keep only one – since I was told that was the way it had to be – I would choose to keep Ravachol’s directly; we know it is from him, we know it is his thinking and his text, and it is published in almost identical form except for a few errors by Le Temps, and this publication precedes Lagasse’s (logical). :{{collapse|Original : For today, if you destroy one criminal, tomorrow ten more will rise. So what must be done? Destroy misery—the seed of crime—by ensuring everyone’s needs are met. And how easy this would be! All it would take is to rebuild society on new foundations, where all is held in common, where each produces according to their abilities and strength, and consumes according to their needs. No longer would we waste labor on useless, harmful things—safes, locks—since there’d be no fear of theft or murder. No more need for money to survive, no dread that the baker might lace bread with dangerous additives to cheat customers. Why would they? Profit would vanish; like everyone else, they’d have easy access to necessities for their work and life. No more inspectors weighing bread, testing coins, or auditing accounts—none of it would matter. :<br> :Lagasse's version : :There will always be criminals, for today you destroy one, and tomorrow ten more will arise.

It would suffice to reorganize society on new foundations where everything is held in common, and where each person, producing according to their abilities and strengths, could consume according to their needs. :<br> :Original : In the silk industry, we would no longer see the rampant speculation that has plagued it from the start—where middlemen force silk to absorb various additives to increase its weight or create a false appearance. By the time the silk reaches the dyer, these same additives must be stripped away so the fabric can properly absorb dyes and chemical fixatives. Then, at the dyer’s turn—and because the manufacturer demands it—the silk is made to absorb up to four-fifths (or more) of its natural weight in processing agents. :::::::This is especially true for black-dyed silk; I cannot confirm if colored silks are as heavily adulterated, but I am certain many are. :Yet if we carefully consider all the wasted materials and labor expended to produce them, it becomes clear how much effort is squandered in saturating silk with these chemicals—only to later burn them out. The silk itself is ruined by excessive treatments, many of which are hazardous to workers and render the fabric unsafe against the skin. Even the dust released as these chemicals dry poses health risks. :Under a rational system, dyeing would no longer be a haphazard process, as it is today. Work could be organized efficiently, eliminating the absurdity of dyeing batches ranging from a hundred grams to a hundred kilograms—a practice born solely from the chaos of competing interests.

Where do you get the right to kill or imprison a man who, brought into this world with the necessity to live, found himself forced to take what he lacked in order to feed himself? I worked to live and to provide for my family; as long as neither I nor mine suffered too much, I remained what you call honest. But then work became scarce, and with unemployment came hunger.

When outside sources are pasted in, that results in errors to spelling and punctuation, and those errors persist for years, even decades. Third, this is a Monthly Challenge work, and my experience is that once the text has been generated, most new editors who participate in the MC do not compare the text against the scan for discrepancies, but instead look for inherently misspelled words and missing punctuation.

[[User:Nosferattus|Nosferattus]] ([[User talk:Nosferattus|talk]]) 16:07, 28 May 2025 (UTC) :I'm confused now. The scan of the 1905 edition is the first edition, but these are from an ''earlier'' 1903 edition? If all the pages are from a different edition, then the original reason for nomination of deletion (redundant) is not valid, because they are different editions. I also have yet to see any evidence presented that they are in fact different, we have only an assertion that there must be differences, without actually demonstrating any. So this presents two issues to be resolved: (1) How can the 1905 edition be the first edition, if there was a 1903 edition that is supposed to be so different? (2) Are there in fact any differences between the scans and the transcribed pages listed above? --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 18:30, 28 May 2025 (UTC) ::{{ping|EncycloPetey}} Both the 1903 edition and the 1905 edition are the "First Edition", even though they are different in both layout and content. You can find textual differences in the very first entry: FONTANES. The 1903 edition says "Fontane's works" in the last sentence.[https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_New_International_Encyclop%C3%A6dia/el1MAAAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=560] The 1905 edition says "Fontanes's works" in the last sentence.[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c4/The_New_International_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_1st_ed._v._08.djvu/page12-2049px-The_New_International_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_1st_ed._v._08.djvu.jpg] The 1903 edition and the 1905 edition are significantly different. We cannot use the 1903 edition as sources for the 1905 edition and the pages that were transcribed from the faked 1905 images have to be retranscribed from scratch. If you want to create a 1903 edition transcription project and move the pages to that, feel free to do so, but it seems rather pointless to me. The 1903 edition is basically just a sloppy version of the 1905 edition with lots of typos and different volume organization. It has the same topic entries (as far as I can tell); they're just not as well edited. [[User:Nosferattus|Nosferattus]] ([[User talk:Nosferattus|talk]]) 00:10, 29 May 2025 (UTC) :::If the layout and content are in fact different, then they are ''not'' the same edition. When a work is altered through editing, it's a new edition. That's what an edition is; it's a particular result of editing.

You can either believe me and delete them or you can use the bogus transcriptions. Using transcriptions from a different edition, however, seems to defeat the whole purpose of having them scan-backed.

[[User:Nosferattus|Nosferattus]] ([[User talk:Nosferattus|talk]]) 00:45, 29 May 2025 (UTC) :::::So, ''if'' they're not the same edition, then labeling them both as "first edition" is likely the source of conflation, and we should change that to a date. But if they're not the same edition, then the reason for deletion given at the outset of this discussion is incorrect, because if they are different, then one is not redundant to the other. We do host multiple editions of works when the editions are different. But again, no evidence has been provided that they are in fact different aside from a single letter.

I am not sure whether it should be considered a second-hand transcription or a transcription of an electronic edition, but in any case the original electronical source does not exist anymore and now only its archived version in [https://web.archive.org/web/20090108184531/http://www8.georgetown.edu/departments/medieval/labyrinth/library/oe/exeter.html web.archive] survives. In theory somebody could finish the transcription from the archive (though it is not likely), but I believe that our task is not web-archive mirroring and that copypasting the text from there is not the way we should follow. Besides, all the transcribed sections contain the note "Edited by Tony Jebson..., all rights reserved". Although there does not seem to be anything really copyrightable on the first sight and so we probably do not have to take the note into account, it at least indicates that the editor did not really wish his transcription to be freely copied. I would ignore the note under other circumstances, but here it is just another small argument added to all the major ones mentioned before.

All the things you've named as potential improvements to the scan-backed version are fixable, and ''pretty much immediately'' fixable at that. So, why is this being positioned as an argument for keeping what are essentially two duplicate works—where one uses a ''deprecated'' sourcing method (sourcing an external link and a crop of a page on the talk page), and the other one uses a ''modern'' sourcing method (using ProofreadPage to centralize the entire newspaper issue as a whole)? ::: And on the topic of "scan-backing having something to do with quality", I would much rather read a scan-backed work than one that wasn't scan-backed. It shows that our standards were followed better, and that the content can be proven more quickly and in a more central location (WS or Commons filespace). So there ''is'' certainly an argument to be made that scan-backing a work is itself an improvement in quality. ''Does that 100% mean the quality was improved?'' No. But what I'm saying is if you take content that was already on a page, and then scan-back it, you just improved the quality of that page. ::: (And that's not even getting into the ''statistical'' quality argument, which is that scan-backing coincides with works being formatted and transcribed better.

And in general, every archive has policies around access. And I can't just walk into Harvard or Oxford libraries and handle their books either. :::::*:*::::::::::::My point isn't that can't be the interpretation we could adopt or have stricter policies around archival material. Just that I don't believe we can point to a statement saying "work" or "published unit" and having that "obviously" means that a request for pages 1-5 of a ten report is obviously hostable if someone requests just those five pages via FOIA as a "complete work" while someone cutting out just the whole report now needs to be deleted because that was released as part of a 1000 page large document release and hence is now an "extract" of that 1000 page release.

But if I uploaded this [https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Workers_Opposition_in_Russia/] instead, that is okay?

There wasn't a clear precedent when I created these, so I don't think they're covered (or prohibited as far as I know) by any existing policies, but please could we discuss this at the Scriptorium to decide a precedent one way or the other before deletion, as I think there's a strong case for having translations pages for anthologies from other languages (such as, for example [[Grimm's Household Tales]]), that show links to individual short stories that have been translated, ''especially'' in instances where there have been no complete translations of the entire anthology. Many of these anthologies are notable (such as [[Gespensterbuch]]), and having a single link from Wikipedia for readers to easily view all English translations of short stories from them would be very helpful (especially in cases such as [[Fantasmagoriana]], which has several authors and so no straightforward way to link to here without a separate page like this). If it's decided to put these purely in author pages, then it would be good to decide what is the best way to do this in practice (e.g. some authors have many short stories – so should these short stories be sorted alphabetically by title [if so, most widely used English translation, or original language? – either way would make it difficult for readers to find all stories in a given anthology at a glance], or by year of first publication? Should these short story bullet points list the anthology that it was first published in [in which case, some authors like [[Author:Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann|E.T.A. Hoffmann]] tended to publish the stories individually in annuals first, and only later collect them in his best known anthology ''Die Serapionsbrüder'' – so it would be difficult for readers, as at present, to find all translations of the ''Serapionsbrüder'' translations from the author page], or all anthologies, or perhaps just notable ones [if so, how do you define this]?) I guess my point is that the situation is quite complex, and I think there's a strong benefit to readers in having these, and very little to lose by having them, as long as we define clearly situations where they are unnecessary (e.g. perhaps in cases where only one story has been translated into English).

As a result, I think they should be counted as translations pages, and that any non-English anthologies that have had more than one story translated into English should be given translations pages like this (I would prefer them to have complete lists of contents, rather than only including the tales that have been translated, as it helps readers to see which stories have been translated, and which ones haven't, but again I'm aware that there has been no discussion on this yet and opinions may differ).

In which case, all of the entries on [[Grimm's Household Tales]] should be deleted as none of them are complete, as well as the list of individual stories, which are also not publications. There are very likely to be many, many other examples like this. Excluding translations that are published as part of larger works would also exclude a huge number of novels (for example, many of the transcriptions of Goethe's novels are published in larger collected works).

[[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 08:30, 20 March 2025 (UTC) *:@[[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] I wouldn't be against this – but I think allowing translations pages to link to individual stories/poems is a better option for a couple of reasons: in cases where there are both full translations '''and''' individual story translations (such as [[Grimm's Household Tales]] and [[Fables (Aesop)]]), it would be easier for readers to have both on the same page, rather than a See also section with a link to a Portal: page (as I think most readers would have no idea what a portal is, or why they would have to go there to see another list about the same work). In cases where an author has some anthologies that have been translated as complete works, and other anthologies where each story has been translated separately (such as [[Author:Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann|E. T. A. Hoffmann]], where ''Die Serapionsbrüder'' has been translated in one work, while ''Nachtstücke'' has had each story translated separately) it would be strange to link from the author page to a translations page for one, and a portal for the other – again I think this would confuse readers for no good reason. I would also not be surprised if overzealous Wikidatarers several years from now objected to some Wikidata items for anthologies linking to portal pages here while other anthologies linked to mainspace translations pages! But all that said, I'm glad to be able to discuss this and wouldn't be devastated if portals was what the community consensus agreed on – but as this affects many existing translations pages, not just the three nominated here, and because there's been precedent for many years of translations pages containing "Individual stories" sections, I hope it would be possible to have a Scriptorium discussion to settle the issue first, and ideally create a set of guidelines for the best way to handle this, which we could then apply to ''all'' of these pages. --<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.15em 0.15em 0.1em">[[User:Yodin|Yodin]]</span><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.25em 0.25em 0.12em"><sup>[[User talk:Yodin|T]]</sup></span> 10:32, 20 March 2025 (UTC) ==[[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven, in Fife-shire.pdf]]== This scan is missing two pages; we have several other copies of the same work ([[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (1).pdf|1]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (2).pdf|2]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (3).pdf|3]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (3).pdf|4]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (3).pdf|5]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fifeshire.pdf|6]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buckhaven in Fife-shire.pdf|7]]).

It wouldn't surprise me if we found a later anthology of treaties that does a presentation exactly like here of them together while others treat them separately (and possibly being the origin of the comparative foot notes). A similar example is the Treaty / Peace of Westphalia, "the collective name for two peace treaties," where you might have editions that print both treaties as one thing (hence "versions") while other editions that print each of the two treaties separately (hence "disambiguation"). Until this is sourced it is hard to know which our current example is, it might have been a copy of a later edition that did the joining / annotations or it might have been the user.

To do so, we need to briefly introduce the history of these texts. Ravachol was arrested and put on trial at the beginning of 1892; during his second trial, he was accused of having committed murders and was facing the death penalty (which he would ultimately receive). He wrote a text to read during the trial, but it was refused by the judge, and Ravachol gave it to his lawyer, Louis Lagasse, on 21st? 22nd? June 1892. On the manuscript, we see two hands: the first corresponds to that of Ravachol, and he corrects his own text by making deletions and changing words, and the second, which does not use the same ink, calligraphy, or spelling. This second hand corrects only the spelling mistakes, so it’s not really important for this discussion, but I mention it anyway. Lagasse passes this text on to the conservative newspaper Le Temps, which republishes it on 23rd June 1892, largely based on the manuscript (although they add punctuation and make some mistakes in reading, the text remains 95% the same, we could say, differing only on orthographic issues here and there). :This first published version was heavily criticised by French anarchist circles, notably ''La Révolte'', the main French anarchist newspaper of the time (or at least one of the main ones, even if it was losing momentum at the time, but that doesn’t matter much). They found it too ‘stupid’ and not good enough; and ten days later, on 3rd July 1892, Lagasse publishes the second version – which is the one that went down in history but differs greatly from Ravachol’s text. I made a small compilation of the most notable differences, and the text is not very long, so removing or adding a paragraph – something already not insignificant in a long work – is really huge here. There are three types of differences, since I’ll skip over the spelling and typographical questions, which are not very relevant and belong more to the ‘normal’ editorial work, let’s say – Lagasse adds passages, Lagasse removes passages, Lagasse rewrites passages. I think in the sample you have a bit of each; the conclusion, for example, is completely Lagasse’s creation – he makes a sort of lyrical outburst about the fact that he (Lagasse's Ravachol) is merely a worker and that this would give him a particular relationship to repression, etc – which is typically the kind of rhetoric one can find in the bourgeois imaginary of that time, by the way. In the sample, we also see a long passage about his relation to anarchism, the reasons why he chose it, and what he envisions for the future, which Lagasse removes altogether; there are also passages where he talks about manual trades (silk work, baking), characteristic of the working class of the fin de siècle, and one might note that silk work is a profession particularly present in Montbrison, where he was being tried and where he was born; so we probably have here a kind of historical opening either onto his choice of using that example or a reinforcement of the fact that the imaginary he develops in his text is deeply marked by the working-class world of his time. Lagasse removes that. :In my view, we should keep both; because the text given by Lagasse had an influence on the history of the left, which never read the manuscript nor the edition of the manuscript in Le Temps, if you will; but at the same time, if we had to keep only one – since I was told that was the way it had to be – I would choose to keep Ravachol’s directly; we know it is from him, we know it is his thinking and his text, and it is published in almost identical form except for a few errors by Le Temps, and this publication precedes Lagasse’s (logical). :{{collapse|Original : For today, if you destroy one criminal, tomorrow ten more will rise. So what must be done? Destroy misery—the seed of crime—by ensuring everyone’s needs are met. And how easy this would be! All it would take is to rebuild society on new foundations, where all is held in common, where each produces according to their abilities and strength, and consumes according to their needs. No longer would we waste labor on useless, harmful things—safes, locks—since there’d be no fear of theft or murder. No more need for money to survive, no dread that the baker might lace bread with dangerous additives to cheat customers. Why would they? Profit would vanish; like everyone else, they’d have easy access to necessities for their work and life. No more inspectors weighing bread, testing coins, or auditing accounts—none of it would matter. :<br> :Lagasse's version : :There will always be criminals, for today you destroy one, and tomorrow ten more will arise.

It would suffice to reorganize society on new foundations where everything is held in common, and where each person, producing according to their abilities and strengths, could consume according to their needs. :<br> :Original : In the silk industry, we would no longer see the rampant speculation that has plagued it from the start—where middlemen force silk to absorb various additives to increase its weight or create a false appearance. By the time the silk reaches the dyer, these same additives must be stripped away so the fabric can properly absorb dyes and chemical fixatives. Then, at the dyer’s turn—and because the manufacturer demands it—the silk is made to absorb up to four-fifths (or more) of its natural weight in processing agents. :::::::This is especially true for black-dyed silk; I cannot confirm if colored silks are as heavily adulterated, but I am certain many are. :Yet if we carefully consider all the wasted materials and labor expended to produce them, it becomes clear how much effort is squandered in saturating silk with these chemicals—only to later burn them out. The silk itself is ruined by excessive treatments, many of which are hazardous to workers and render the fabric unsafe against the skin. Even the dust released as these chemicals dry poses health risks. :Under a rational system, dyeing would no longer be a haphazard process, as it is today. Work could be organized efficiently, eliminating the absurdity of dyeing batches ranging from a hundred grams to a hundred kilograms—a practice born solely from the chaos of competing interests.

Where do you get the right to kill or imprison a man who, brought into this world with the necessity to live, found himself forced to take what he lacked in order to feed himself? I worked to live and to provide for my family; as long as neither I nor mine suffered too much, I remained what you call honest. But then work became scarce, and with unemployment came hunger.

[[User:Nosferattus|Nosferattus]] ([[User talk:Nosferattus|talk]]) 16:07, 28 May 2025 (UTC) :I'm confused now. The scan of the 1905 edition is the first edition, but these are from an ''earlier'' 1903 edition? If all the pages are from a different edition, then the original reason for nomination of deletion (redundant) is not valid, because they are different editions. I also have yet to see any evidence presented that they are in fact different, we have only an assertion that there must be differences, without actually demonstrating any. So this presents two issues to be resolved: (1) How can the 1905 edition be the first edition, if there was a 1903 edition that is supposed to be so different? (2) Are there in fact any differences between the scans and the transcribed pages listed above? --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 18:30, 28 May 2025 (UTC) ::{{ping|EncycloPetey}} Both the 1903 edition and the 1905 edition are the "First Edition", even though they are different in both layout and content. You can find textual differences in the very first entry: FONTANES. The 1903 edition says "Fontane's works" in the last sentence.[https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_New_International_Encyclop%C3%A6dia/el1MAAAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=560] The 1905 edition says "Fontanes's works" in the last sentence.[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c4/The_New_International_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_1st_ed._v._08.djvu/page12-2049px-The_New_International_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_1st_ed._v._08.djvu.jpg] The 1903 edition and the 1905 edition are significantly different. We cannot use the 1903 edition as sources for the 1905 edition and the pages that were transcribed from the faked 1905 images have to be retranscribed from scratch. If you want to create a 1903 edition transcription project and move the pages to that, feel free to do so, but it seems rather pointless to me. The 1903 edition is basically just a sloppy version of the 1905 edition with lots of typos and different volume organization. It has the same topic entries (as far as I can tell); they're just not as well edited.

You can either believe me and delete them or you can use the bogus transcriptions.

In theory somebody could finish the transcription from the archive (though it is not likely), but I believe that our task is not web-archive mirroring and that copypasting the text from there is not the way we should follow. Besides, all the transcribed sections contain the note "Edited by Tony Jebson..., all rights reserved". Although there does not seem to be anything really copyrightable on the first sight and so we probably do not have to take the note into account, it at least indicates that the editor did not really wish his transcription to be freely copied.

No. But what I'm saying is if you take content that was already on a page, and then scan-back it, you just improved the quality of that page. ::: (And that's not even getting into the ''statistical'' quality argument, which is that scan-backing coincides with works being formatted and transcribed better.

Just that I don't believe we can point to a statement saying "work" or "published unit" and having that "obviously" means that a request for pages 1-5 of a ten report is obviously hostable if someone requests just those five pages via FOIA as a "complete work" while someone cutting out just the whole report now needs to be deleted because that was released as part of a 1000 page large document release and hence is now an "extract" of that 1000 page release.

There wasn't a clear precedent when I created these, so I don't think they're covered (or prohibited as far as I know) by any existing policies, but please could we discuss this at the Scriptorium to decide a precedent one way or the other before deletion, as I think there's a strong case for having translations pages for anthologies from other languages (such as, for example [[Grimm's Household Tales]]), that show links to individual short stories that have been translated, ''especially'' in instances where there have been no complete translations of the entire anthology. Many of these anthologies are notable (such as [[Gespensterbuch]]), and having a single link from Wikipedia for readers to easily view all English translations of short stories from them would be very helpful (especially in cases such as [[Fantasmagoriana]], which has several authors and so no straightforward way to link to here without a separate page like this). If it's decided to put these purely in author pages, then it would be good to decide what is the best way to do this in practice (e.g. some authors have many short stories – so should these short stories be sorted alphabetically by title [if so, most widely used English translation, or original language? – either way would make it difficult for readers to find all stories in a given anthology at a glance], or by year of first publication? Should these short story bullet points list the anthology that it was first published in [in which case, some authors like [[Author:Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann|E.T.A. Hoffmann]] tended to publish the stories individually in annuals first, and only later collect them in his best known anthology ''Die Serapionsbrüder'' – so it would be difficult for readers, as at present, to find all translations of the ''Serapionsbrüder'' translations from the author page], or all anthologies, or perhaps just notable ones [if so, how do you define this]?) I guess my point is that the situation is quite complex, and I think there's a strong benefit to readers in having these, and very little to lose by having them, as long as we define clearly situations where they are unnecessary (e.g. perhaps in cases where only one story has been translated into English).

As a result, I think they should be counted as translations pages, and that any non-English anthologies that have had more than one story translated into English should be given translations pages like this (I would prefer them to have complete lists of contents, rather than only including the tales that have been translated, as it helps readers to see which stories have been translated, and which ones haven't, but again I'm aware that there has been no discussion on this yet and opinions may differ).

In which case, all of the entries on [[Grimm's Household Tales]] should be deleted as none of them are complete, as well as the list of individual stories, which are also not publications. There are very likely to be many, many other examples like this. Excluding translations that are published as part of larger works would also exclude a huge number of novels (for example, many of the transcriptions of Goethe's novels are published in larger collected works).

It is even true of English language editions of English language publications. The US edition of ''A Clockwork Orange'' was published without the final chapter from the original UK edition.

The fact that that's true for many English translations is exactly my point – this area is much more complex than you seem to be suggesting.

In cases where an author has some anthologies that have been translated as complete works, and other anthologies where each story has been translated separately (such as [[Author:Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann|E. T. A. Hoffmann]], where ''Die Serapionsbrüder'' has been translated in one work, while ''Nachtstücke'' has had each story translated separately) it would be strange to link from the author page to a translations page for one, and a portal for the other – again I think this would confuse readers for no good reason. I would also not be surprised if overzealous Wikidatarers several years from now objected to some Wikidata items for anthologies linking to portal pages here while other anthologies linked to mainspace translations pages! But all that said, I'm glad to be able to discuss this and wouldn't be devastated if portals was what the community consensus agreed on – but as this affects many existing translations pages, not just the three nominated here, and because there's been precedent for many years of translations pages containing "Individual stories" sections, I hope it would be possible to have a Scriptorium discussion to settle the issue first, and ideally create a set of guidelines for the best way to handle this, which we could then apply to ''all'' of these pages. --<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.15em 0.15em 0.1em">[[User:Yodin|Yodin]]</span><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.25em 0.25em 0.12em"><sup>[[User talk:Yodin|T]]</sup></span> 10:32, 20 March 2025 (UTC) ==[[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven, in Fife-shire.pdf]]== This scan is missing two pages; we have several other copies of the same work ([[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (1).pdf|1]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (2).pdf|2]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (3).pdf|3]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (3).pdf|4]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (3).pdf|5]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fifeshire.pdf|6]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buckhaven in Fife-shire.pdf|7]]).

It wouldn't surprise me if we found a later anthology of treaties that does a presentation exactly like here of them together while others treat them separately (and possibly being the origin of the comparative foot notes). A similar example is the Treaty / Peace of Westphalia, "the collective name for two peace treaties," where you might have editions that print both treaties as one thing (hence "versions") while other editions that print each of the two treaties separately (hence "disambiguation"). Until this is sourced it is hard to know which our current example is, it might have been a copy of a later edition that did the joining / annotations or it might have been the user.

As an example, edition differences might be something like year of publication from the same plates to for example a text-book being rewritten by another editor with whole new sections. There is also a general trend towards requiring scan-backed as opposed to merely stating a source, even if there may not be consensus around that yet.

To do so, we need to briefly introduce the history of these texts. Ravachol was arrested and put on trial at the beginning of 1892; during his second trial, he was accused of having committed murders and was facing the death penalty (which he would ultimately receive). He wrote a text to read during the trial, but it was refused by the judge, and Ravachol gave it to his lawyer, Louis Lagasse, on 21st? 22nd? June 1892. On the manuscript, we see two hands: the first corresponds to that of Ravachol, and he corrects his own text by making deletions and changing words, and the second, which does not use the same ink, calligraphy, or spelling. This second hand corrects only the spelling mistakes, so it’s not really important for this discussion, but I mention it anyway. Lagasse passes this text on to the conservative newspaper Le Temps, which republishes it on 23rd June 1892, largely based on the manuscript (although they add punctuation and make some mistakes in reading, the text remains 95% the same, we could say, differing only on orthographic issues here and there). :This first published version was heavily criticised by French anarchist circles, notably ''La Révolte'', the main French anarchist newspaper of the time (or at least one of the main ones, even if it was losing momentum at the time, but that doesn’t matter much). They found it too ‘stupid’ and not good enough; and ten days later, on 3rd July 1892, Lagasse publishes the second version – which is the one that went down in history but differs greatly from Ravachol’s text. I made a small compilation of the most notable differences, and the text is not very long, so removing or adding a paragraph – something already not insignificant in a long work – is really huge here. There are three types of differences, since I’ll skip over the spelling and typographical questions, which are not very relevant and belong more to the ‘normal’ editorial work, let’s say – Lagasse adds passages, Lagasse removes passages, Lagasse rewrites passages. I think in the sample you have a bit of each; the conclusion, for example, is completely Lagasse’s creation – he makes a sort of lyrical outburst about the fact that he (Lagasse's Ravachol) is merely a worker and that this would give him a particular relationship to repression, etc – which is typically the kind of rhetoric one can find in the bourgeois imaginary of that time, by the way. In the sample, we also see a long passage about his relation to anarchism, the reasons why he chose it, and what he envisions for the future, which Lagasse removes altogether; there are also passages where he talks about manual trades (silk work, baking), characteristic of the working class of the fin de siècle, and one might note that silk work is a profession particularly present in Montbrison, where he was being tried and where he was born; so we probably have here a kind of historical opening either onto his choice of using that example or a reinforcement of the fact that the imaginary he develops in his text is deeply marked by the working-class world of his time. Lagasse removes that. :In my view, we should keep both; because the text given by Lagasse had an influence on the history of the left, which never read the manuscript nor the edition of the manuscript in Le Temps, if you will; but at the same time, if we had to keep only one – since I was told that was the way it had to be – I would choose to keep Ravachol’s directly; we know it is from him, we know it is his thinking and his text, and it is published in almost identical form except for a few errors by Le Temps, and this publication precedes Lagasse’s (logical). :{{collapse|Original : For today, if you destroy one criminal, tomorrow ten more will rise. So what must be done? Destroy misery—the seed of crime—by ensuring everyone’s needs are met. And how easy this would be! All it would take is to rebuild society on new foundations, where all is held in common, where each produces according to their abilities and strength, and consumes according to their needs. No longer would we waste labor on useless, harmful things—safes, locks—since there’d be no fear of theft or murder. No more need for money to survive, no dread that the baker might lace bread with dangerous additives to cheat customers. Why would they? Profit would vanish; like everyone else, they’d have easy access to necessities for their work and life. No more inspectors weighing bread, testing coins, or auditing accounts—none of it would matter. :<br> :Lagasse's version : :There will always be criminals, for today you destroy one, and tomorrow ten more will arise.

By the time the silk reaches the dyer, these same additives must be stripped away so the fabric can properly absorb dyes and chemical fixatives. Then, at the dyer’s turn—and because the manufacturer demands it—the silk is made to absorb up to four-fifths (or more) of its natural weight in processing agents. :::::::This is especially true for black-dyed silk; I cannot confirm if colored silks are as heavily adulterated, but I am certain many are. :Yet if we carefully consider all the wasted materials and labor expended to produce them, it becomes clear how much effort is squandered in saturating silk with these chemicals—only to later burn them out. The silk itself is ruined by excessive treatments, many of which are hazardous to workers and render the fabric unsafe against the skin. Even the dust released as these chemicals dry poses health risks. :Under a rational system, dyeing would no longer be a haphazard process, as it is today. Work could be organized efficiently, eliminating the absurdity of dyeing batches ranging from a hundred grams to a hundred kilograms—a practice born solely from the chaos of competing interests.

Where do you get the right to kill or imprison a man who, brought into this world with the necessity to live, found himself forced to take what he lacked in order to feed himself? I worked to live and to provide for my family; as long as neither I nor mine suffered too much, I remained what you call honest. But then work became scarce, and with unemployment came hunger.

First, the filling in and Index from a secondhand text is a ''violation of policy''. The text should be generated ''from the scan'', and not from some secondhand source. Second, the filling in an Index from a second-hand source itself ''misrepresents what has been done''. Some of us have a lot more experience with the fallout of match-and-split. When outside sources are pasted in, that results in errors to spelling and punctuation, and those errors persist for years, even decades. Third, this is a Monthly Challenge work, and my experience is that once the text has been generated, most new editors who participate in the MC do not compare the text against the scan for discrepancies, but instead look for inherently misspelled words and missing punctuation.

I also have yet to see any evidence presented that they are in fact different, we have only an assertion that there must be differences, without actually demonstrating any. So this presents two issues to be resolved: (1) How can the 1905 edition be the first edition, if there was a 1903 edition that is supposed to be so different? (2) Are there in fact any differences between the scans and the transcribed pages listed above? --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 18:30, 28 May 2025 (UTC) ::{{ping|EncycloPetey}} Both the 1903 edition and the 1905 edition are the "First Edition", even though they are different in both layout and content.

We cannot use the 1903 edition as sources for the 1905 edition and the pages that were transcribed from the faked 1905 images have to be retranscribed from scratch. If you want to create a 1903 edition transcription project and move the pages to that, feel free to do so, but it seems rather pointless to me. The 1903 edition is basically just a sloppy version of the 1905 edition with lots of typos and different volume organization.

All the things you've named as potential improvements to the scan-backed version are fixable, and ''pretty much immediately'' fixable at that. So, why is this being positioned as an argument for keeping what are essentially two duplicate works—where one uses a ''deprecated'' sourcing method (sourcing an external link and a crop of a page on the talk page), and the other one uses a ''modern'' sourcing method (using ProofreadPage to centralize the entire newspaper issue as a whole)? ::: And on the topic of "scan-backing having something to do with quality", I would much rather read a scan-backed work than one that wasn't scan-backed. It shows that our standards were followed better, and that the content can be proven more quickly and in a more central location (WS or Commons filespace). So there ''is'' certainly an argument to be made that scan-backing a work is itself an improvement in quality. ''Does that 100% mean the quality was improved?'' No. But what I'm saying is if you take content that was already on a page, and then scan-back it, you just improved the quality of that page. ::: (And that's not even getting into the ''statistical'' quality argument, which is that scan-backing coincides with works being formatted and transcribed better.

What we're trying to avoid is, rather, "user-compiled and unverified" data, like ''Wikisource editors'' (not external publications) listing resources for a certain project. And if you personally disagree, that's fine, but that's how I read the sentiment of the policy. I think that whether something was published, or at least printed or collected by a reputable-enough source, should be considered fair game.

And in general, every archive has policies around access. And I can't just walk into Harvard or Oxford libraries and handle their books either. :::::*:*::::::::::::My point isn't that can't be the interpretation we could adopt or have stricter policies around archival material. Just that I don't believe we can point to a statement saying "work" or "published unit" and having that "obviously" means that a request for pages 1-5 of a ten report is obviously hostable if someone requests just those five pages via FOIA as a "complete work" while someone cutting out just the whole report now needs to be deleted because that was released as part of a 1000 page large document release and hence is now an "extract" of that 1000 page release.

There wasn't a clear precedent when I created these, so I don't think they're covered (or prohibited as far as I know) by any existing policies, but please could we discuss this at the Scriptorium to decide a precedent one way or the other before deletion, as I think there's a strong case for having translations pages for anthologies from other languages (such as, for example [[Grimm's Household Tales]]), that show links to individual short stories that have been translated, ''especially'' in instances where there have been no complete translations of the entire anthology. Many of these anthologies are notable (such as [[Gespensterbuch]]), and having a single link from Wikipedia for readers to easily view all English translations of short stories from them would be very helpful (especially in cases such as [[Fantasmagoriana]], which has several authors and so no straightforward way to link to here without a separate page like this). If it's decided to put these purely in author pages, then it would be good to decide what is the best way to do this in practice (e.g. some authors have many short stories – so should these short stories be sorted alphabetically by title [if so, most widely used English translation, or original language? – either way would make it difficult for readers to find all stories in a given anthology at a glance], or by year of first publication? Should these short story bullet points list the anthology that it was first published in [in which case, some authors like [[Author:Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann|E.T.A. Hoffmann]] tended to publish the stories individually in annuals first, and only later collect them in his best known anthology ''Die Serapionsbrüder'' – so it would be difficult for readers, as at present, to find all translations of the ''Serapionsbrüder'' translations from the author page], or all anthologies, or perhaps just notable ones [if so, how do you define this]?) I guess my point is that the situation is quite complex, and I think there's a strong benefit to readers in having these, and very little to lose by having them, as long as we define clearly situations where they are unnecessary (e.g. perhaps in cases where only one story has been translated into English).

As a result, I think they should be counted as translations pages, and that any non-English anthologies that have had more than one story translated into English should be given translations pages like this (I would prefer them to have complete lists of contents, rather than only including the tales that have been translated, as it helps readers to see which stories have been translated, and which ones haven't, but again I'm aware that there has been no discussion on this yet and opinions may differ).

In which case, all of the entries on [[Grimm's Household Tales]] should be deleted as none of them are complete, as well as the list of individual stories, which are also not publications. There are very likely to be many, many other examples like this. Excluding translations that are published as part of larger works would also exclude a huge number of novels (for example, many of the transcriptions of Goethe's novels are published in larger collected works).

If the latter, I would ask that we settle the scope of what can and cannot be included on the translations pages of anthologies, as this will affect many other pages, and it seems extremely unfair to delete without setting up clear guidelines – otherwise how am I, or other editors, to know whether my (or their) past, current, or future work will be deleted later down the line? --<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.15em 0.15em 0.1em">[[User:Yodin|Yodin]]</span><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.25em 0.25em 0.12em"><sup>[[User talk:Yodin|T]]</sup></span> 22:04, 28 February 2025 (UTC) ::::::You are confusing Translations pages with Versions pages that use a translation header template. Our Translations pages are user-created translations from a scan that has been transcribed at the original language Wikisource. Our versions pages list editions that we host or can host. The pages under discussion are neither English translations, nor are they versions pages listing English translations. They are lists of German language items in a German language publication. Such things belong at the German Wikisource, not here on the English one. They violate our most basic principle of [[WS:WWI]] in that they are not English publications or English translations. Your comparison with ''[[Grimm's Household Tales]]'' misses the fact that the page lists five published translations of the tales, then the versions pages for the individual tales from those five published translations.

[[Wikisource:Versions]] does not set out what is to be included on a translations page, neither does it prohibit linking of the individual stories within an anthology – nor does anywhere else in the guidelines – and as I've pointed out above, there is a clear precedent for many years of this happening – you have not said whether you would delete all of these without any community wide discussion first? To delete these pages many years later, when there is clear precedent for individual stories being linked to on translations pages, and there being no clear rules or guidelines that even suggest this is not allowed seems extraordinary. The fact that [[Wikisource:What Wikisource includes]] does not specifically permit this also seems misleading, as it does not permit versions pages (including translations pages) at all – would you suggest we delete them all? The translations pages I've created all exist to provide links to translations of stories that are permitted by [[Wikisource:What Wikisource includes]] – as I've mentioned above, being able to have one translations page for an anthology is extremely helpful for readers who are interested in the anthology as a whole.

In cases where an author has some anthologies that have been translated as complete works, and other anthologies where each story has been translated separately (such as [[Author:Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann|E. T. A. Hoffmann]], where ''Die Serapionsbrüder'' has been translated in one work, while ''Nachtstücke'' has had each story translated separately) it would be strange to link from the author page to a translations page for one, and a portal for the other – again I think this would confuse readers for no good reason.

It wouldn't surprise me if we found a later anthology of treaties that does a presentation exactly like here of them together while others treat them separately (and possibly being the origin of the comparative foot notes). A similar example is the Treaty / Peace of Westphalia, "the collective name for two peace treaties," where you might have editions that print both treaties as one thing (hence "versions") while other editions that print each of the two treaties separately (hence "disambiguation"). Until this is sourced it is hard to know which our current example is, it might have been a copy of a later edition that did the joining / annotations or it might have been the user.

To do so, we need to briefly introduce the history of these texts. Ravachol was arrested and put on trial at the beginning of 1892; during his second trial, he was accused of having committed murders and was facing the death penalty (which he would ultimately receive). He wrote a text to read during the trial, but it was refused by the judge, and Ravachol gave it to his lawyer, Louis Lagasse, on 21st? 22nd? June 1892. On the manuscript, we see two hands: the first corresponds to that of Ravachol, and he corrects his own text by making deletions and changing words, and the second, which does not use the same ink, calligraphy, or spelling. This second hand corrects only the spelling mistakes, so it’s not really important for this discussion, but I mention it anyway. Lagasse passes this text on to the conservative newspaper Le Temps, which republishes it on 23rd June 1892, largely based on the manuscript (although they add punctuation and make some mistakes in reading, the text remains 95% the same, we could say, differing only on orthographic issues here and there). :This first published version was heavily criticised by French anarchist circles, notably ''La Révolte'', the main French anarchist newspaper of the time (or at least one of the main ones, even if it was losing momentum at the time, but that doesn’t matter much). They found it too ‘stupid’ and not good enough; and ten days later, on 3rd July 1892, Lagasse publishes the second version – which is the one that went down in history but differs greatly from Ravachol’s text. I made a small compilation of the most notable differences, and the text is not very long, so removing or adding a paragraph – something already not insignificant in a long work – is really huge here. There are three types of differences, since I’ll skip over the spelling and typographical questions, which are not very relevant and belong more to the ‘normal’ editorial work, let’s say – Lagasse adds passages, Lagasse removes passages, Lagasse rewrites passages. I think in the sample you have a bit of each; the conclusion, for example, is completely Lagasse’s creation – he makes a sort of lyrical outburst about the fact that he (Lagasse's Ravachol) is merely a worker and that this would give him a particular relationship to repression, etc – which is typically the kind of rhetoric one can find in the bourgeois imaginary of that time, by the way. In the sample, we also see a long passage about his relation to anarchism, the reasons why he chose it, and what he envisions for the future, which Lagasse removes altogether; there are also passages where he talks about manual trades (silk work, baking), characteristic of the working class of the fin de siècle, and one might note that silk work is a profession particularly present in Montbrison, where he was being tried and where he was born; so we probably have here a kind of historical opening either onto his choice of using that example or a reinforcement of the fact that the imaginary he develops in his text is deeply marked by the working-class world of his time. Lagasse removes that. :In my view, we should keep both; because the text given by Lagasse had an influence on the history of the left, which never read the manuscript nor the edition of the manuscript in Le Temps, if you will; but at the same time, if we had to keep only one – since I was told that was the way it had to be – I would choose to keep Ravachol’s directly; we know it is from him, we know it is his thinking and his text, and it is published in almost identical form except for a few errors by Le Temps, and this publication precedes Lagasse’s (logical). :{{collapse|Original : For today, if you destroy one criminal, tomorrow ten more will rise. So what must be done? Destroy misery—the seed of crime—by ensuring everyone’s needs are met. And how easy this would be! All it would take is to rebuild society on new foundations, where all is held in common, where each produces according to their abilities and strength, and consumes according to their needs. No longer would we waste labor on useless, harmful things—safes, locks—since there’d be no fear of theft or murder. No more need for money to survive, no dread that the baker might lace bread with dangerous additives to cheat customers. Why would they? Profit would vanish; like everyone else, they’d have easy access to necessities for their work and life. No more inspectors weighing bread, testing coins, or auditing accounts—none of it would matter. :<br> :Lagasse's version : :There will always be criminals, for today you destroy one, and tomorrow ten more will arise.

It would suffice to reorganize society on new foundations where everything is held in common, and where each person, producing according to their abilities and strengths, could consume according to their needs. :<br> :Original : In the silk industry, we would no longer see the rampant speculation that has plagued it from the start—where middlemen force silk to absorb various additives to increase its weight or create a false appearance. By the time the silk reaches the dyer, these same additives must be stripped away so the fabric can properly absorb dyes and chemical fixatives. Then, at the dyer’s turn—and because the manufacturer demands it—the silk is made to absorb up to four-fifths (or more) of its natural weight in processing agents. :::::::This is especially true for black-dyed silk; I cannot confirm if colored silks are as heavily adulterated, but I am certain many are. :Yet if we carefully consider all the wasted materials and labor expended to produce them, it becomes clear how much effort is squandered in saturating silk with these chemicals—only to later burn them out. The silk itself is ruined by excessive treatments, many of which are hazardous to workers and render the fabric unsafe against the skin. Even the dust released as these chemicals dry poses health risks. :Under a rational system, dyeing would no longer be a haphazard process, as it is today. Work could be organized efficiently, eliminating the absurdity of dyeing batches ranging from a hundred grams to a hundred kilograms—a practice born solely from the chaos of competing interests.

Where do you get the right to kill or imprison a man who, brought into this world with the necessity to live, found himself forced to take what he lacked in order to feed himself? I worked to live and to provide for my family; as long as neither I nor mine suffered too much, I remained what you call honest. But then work became scarce, and with unemployment came hunger.

These pages are marked "not proofread"--I am using them to ''help me proofread''; I am not ''presenting them as proofread''.

First, the filling in and Index from a secondhand text is a ''violation of policy''. The text should be generated ''from the scan'', and not from some secondhand source. Second, the filling in an Index from a second-hand source itself ''misrepresents what has been done''. Some of us have a lot more experience with the fallout of match-and-split. When outside sources are pasted in, that results in errors to spelling and punctuation, and those errors persist for years, even decades. Third, this is a Monthly Challenge work, and my experience is that once the text has been generated, most new editors who participate in the MC do not compare the text against the scan for discrepancies, but instead look for inherently misspelled words and missing punctuation.

What we're trying to avoid is, rather, "user-compiled and unverified" data, like ''Wikisource editors'' (not external publications) listing resources for a certain project. And if you personally disagree, that's fine, but that's how I read the sentiment of the policy.

Many of these anthologies are notable (such as [[Gespensterbuch]]), and having a single link from Wikipedia for readers to easily view all English translations of short stories from them would be very helpful (especially in cases such as [[Fantasmagoriana]], which has several authors and so no straightforward way to link to here without a separate page like this). If it's decided to put these purely in author pages, then it would be good to decide what is the best way to do this in practice (e.g. some authors have many short stories – so should these short stories be sorted alphabetically by title [if so, most widely used English translation, or original language? – either way would make it difficult for readers to find all stories in a given anthology at a glance], or by year of first publication? Should these short story bullet points list the anthology that it was first published in [in which case, some authors like [[Author:Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann|E.T.A. Hoffmann]] tended to publish the stories individually in annuals first, and only later collect them in his best known anthology ''Die Serapionsbrüder'' – so it would be difficult for readers, as at present, to find all translations of the ''Serapionsbrüder'' translations from the author page], or all anthologies, or perhaps just notable ones [if so, how do you define this]?) I guess my point is that the situation is quite complex, and I think there's a strong benefit to readers in having these, and very little to lose by having them, as long as we define clearly situations where they are unnecessary (e.g. perhaps in cases where only one story has been translated into English).

The removal of all the extraneous information would make it easier for people to see the story titles, instead of a wall of publication information that isn't relevant. --13:42, 28 February 2025 (UTC) [[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 13:42, 28 February 2025 (UTC) :::@[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] if you click on any of the links on these pages, they will take you to the English translations of these stories. For [[Gespensterbuch]], about half of the stories have been translated, for [[Wunderbuch]], currently three stories ([[Cicaden]] does seem excessive to me, as it only has one translated story, so would not pass the condition I suggested above). Another example I gave, [[Grimm's Household Tales]], also has about half the stories with links – do you agree that there is still value in having this page as it is, or would you prefer to delete the Individual Tales section? As a result, I think they should be counted as translations pages, and that any non-English anthologies that have had more than one story translated into English should be given translations pages like this (I would prefer them to have complete lists of contents, rather than only including the tales that have been translated, as it helps readers to see which stories have been translated, and which ones haven't, but again I'm aware that there has been no discussion on this yet and opinions may differ). You could argue that these should be portals, but I think there are several reasons translations pages would be best – either way I think would be good to get a broader community consensus on this. I'm not sure how much transcribing of short story translations into English you've done, but this has been the main area I've been working on – so have thought about the pros/cons of different approaches to this stuff quite a bit – but again, it would be good to have wider community feedback and reach a consensus on best practices for non-English anthologies that have had several stories translated into English. --<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.15em 0.15em 0.1em">[[User:Yodin|Yodin]]</span><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.25em 0.25em 0.12em"><sup>[[User talk:Yodin|T]]</sup></span> 20:13, 28 February 2025 (UTC) ::::But they are not translations from those publications.

I think you're saying that as you see it, translations pages should only contain links to complete translations of the entire work? In which case, all of the entries on [[Grimm's Household Tales]] should be deleted as none of them are complete, as well as the list of individual stories, which are also not publications. There are very likely to be many, many other examples like this. Excluding translations that are published as part of larger works would also exclude a huge number of novels (for example, many of the transcriptions of Goethe's novels are published in larger collected works).

I'd argue that as they're not in contravention of any rules, and there's a precedent for doing this, they should not be deleted until there's been a wider discussion to settle this point first, or a very clear consensus that they should go. If the latter, I would ask that we settle the scope of what can and cannot be included on the translations pages of anthologies, as this will affect many other pages, and it seems extremely unfair to delete without setting up clear guidelines – otherwise how am I, or other editors, to know whether my (or their) past, current, or future work will be deleted later down the line? --<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.15em 0.15em 0.1em">[[User:Yodin|Yodin]]</span><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.25em 0.25em 0.12em"><sup>[[User talk:Yodin|T]]</sup></span> 22:04, 28 February 2025 (UTC) ::::::You are confusing Translations pages with Versions pages that use a translation header template.

Such things belong at the German Wikisource, not here on the English one. They violate our most basic principle of [[WS:WWI]] in that they are not English publications or English translations. Your comparison with ''[[Grimm's Household Tales]]'' misses the fact that the page lists five published translations of the tales, then the versions pages for the individual tales from those five published translations.

[[Wikisource:Versions]] does not set out what is to be included on a translations page, neither does it prohibit linking of the individual stories within an anthology – nor does anywhere else in the guidelines – and as I've pointed out above, there is a clear precedent for many years of this happening – you have not said whether you would delete all of these without any community wide discussion first? To delete these pages many years later, when there is clear precedent for individual stories being linked to on translations pages, and there being no clear rules or guidelines that even suggest this is not allowed seems extraordinary. The fact that [[Wikisource:What Wikisource includes]] does not specifically permit this also seems misleading, as it does not permit versions pages (including translations pages) at all – would you suggest we delete them all? The translations pages I've created all exist to provide links to translations of stories that are permitted by [[Wikisource:What Wikisource includes]] – as I've mentioned above, being able to have one translations page for an anthology is extremely helpful for readers who are interested in the anthology as a whole.

It is even true of English language editions of English language publications. The US edition of ''A Clockwork Orange'' was published without the final chapter from the original UK edition.

In cases where an author has some anthologies that have been translated as complete works, and other anthologies where each story has been translated separately (such as [[Author:Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann|E. T. A. Hoffmann]], where ''Die Serapionsbrüder'' has been translated in one work, while ''Nachtstücke'' has had each story translated separately) it would be strange to link from the author page to a translations page for one, and a portal for the other – again I think this would confuse readers for no good reason.

It wouldn't surprise me if we found a later anthology of treaties that does a presentation exactly like here of them together while others treat them separately (and possibly being the origin of the comparative foot notes). A similar example is the Treaty / Peace of Westphalia, "the collective name for two peace treaties," where you might have editions that print both treaties as one thing (hence "versions") while other editions that print each of the two treaties separately (hence "disambiguation"). Until this is sourced it is hard to know which our current example is, it might have been a copy of a later edition that did the joining / annotations or it might have been the user.

To do so, we need to briefly introduce the history of these texts. Ravachol was arrested and put on trial at the beginning of 1892; during his second trial, he was accused of having committed murders and was facing the death penalty (which he would ultimately receive). He wrote a text to read during the trial, but it was refused by the judge, and Ravachol gave it to his lawyer, Louis Lagasse, on 21st? 22nd? June 1892. On the manuscript, we see two hands: the first corresponds to that of Ravachol, and he corrects his own text by making deletions and changing words, and the second, which does not use the same ink, calligraphy, or spelling. This second hand corrects only the spelling mistakes, so it’s not really important for this discussion, but I mention it anyway. Lagasse passes this text on to the conservative newspaper Le Temps, which republishes it on 23rd June 1892, largely based on the manuscript (although they add punctuation and make some mistakes in reading, the text remains 95% the same, we could say, differing only on orthographic issues here and there). :This first published version was heavily criticised by French anarchist circles, notably ''La Révolte'', the main French anarchist newspaper of the time (or at least one of the main ones, even if it was losing momentum at the time, but that doesn’t matter much). They found it too ‘stupid’ and not good enough; and ten days later, on 3rd July 1892, Lagasse publishes the second version – which is the one that went down in history but differs greatly from Ravachol’s text. I made a small compilation of the most notable differences, and the text is not very long, so removing or adding a paragraph – something already not insignificant in a long work – is really huge here. There are three types of differences, since I’ll skip over the spelling and typographical questions, which are not very relevant and belong more to the ‘normal’ editorial work, let’s say – Lagasse adds passages, Lagasse removes passages, Lagasse rewrites passages. I think in the sample you have a bit of each; the conclusion, for example, is completely Lagasse’s creation – he makes a sort of lyrical outburst about the fact that he (Lagasse's Ravachol) is merely a worker and that this would give him a particular relationship to repression, etc – which is typically the kind of rhetoric one can find in the bourgeois imaginary of that time, by the way. In the sample, we also see a long passage about his relation to anarchism, the reasons why he chose it, and what he envisions for the future, which Lagasse removes altogether; there are also passages where he talks about manual trades (silk work, baking), characteristic of the working class of the fin de siècle, and one might note that silk work is a profession particularly present in Montbrison, where he was being tried and where he was born; so we probably have here a kind of historical opening either onto his choice of using that example or a reinforcement of the fact that the imaginary he develops in his text is deeply marked by the working-class world of his time. Lagasse removes that. :In my view, we should keep both; because the text given by Lagasse had an influence on the history of the left, which never read the manuscript nor the edition of the manuscript in Le Temps, if you will; but at the same time, if we had to keep only one – since I was told that was the way it had to be – I would choose to keep Ravachol’s directly; we know it is from him, we know it is his thinking and his text, and it is published in almost identical form except for a few errors by Le Temps, and this publication precedes Lagasse’s (logical). :{{collapse|Original : For today, if you destroy one criminal, tomorrow ten more will rise. So what must be done? Destroy misery—the seed of crime—by ensuring everyone’s needs are met. And how easy this would be! All it would take is to rebuild society on new foundations, where all is held in common, where each produces according to their abilities and strength, and consumes according to their needs. No longer would we waste labor on useless, harmful things—safes, locks—since there’d be no fear of theft or murder. No more need for money to survive, no dread that the baker might lace bread with dangerous additives to cheat customers. Why would they? Profit would vanish; like everyone else, they’d have easy access to necessities for their work and life. No more inspectors weighing bread, testing coins, or auditing accounts—none of it would matter. :<br> :Lagasse's version : :There will always be criminals, for today you destroy one, and tomorrow ten more will arise. So, what is needed? To destroy poverty, the breeding ground of crime, by ensuring that everyone’s needs are met! And how easy this would be to achieve! It would suffice to reorganize society on new foundations where everything is held in common, and where each person, producing according to their abilities and strengths, could consume according to their needs. :<br> :Original : In the silk industry, we would no longer see the rampant speculation that has plagued it from the start—where middlemen force silk to absorb various additives to increase its weight or create a false appearance. By the time the silk reaches the dyer, these same additives must be stripped away so the fabric can properly absorb dyes and chemical fixatives. Then, at the dyer’s turn—and because the manufacturer demands it—the silk is made to absorb up to four-fifths (or more) of its natural weight in processing agents. :::::::This is especially true for black-dyed silk; I cannot confirm if colored silks are as heavily adulterated, but I am certain many are. :Yet if we carefully consider all the wasted materials and labor expended to produce them, it becomes clear how much effort is squandered in saturating silk with these chemicals—only to later burn them out. The silk itself is ruined by excessive treatments, many of which are hazardous to workers and render the fabric unsafe against the skin. Even the dust released as these chemicals dry poses health risks. :Under a rational system, dyeing would no longer be a haphazard process, as it is today. Work could be organized efficiently, eliminating the absurdity of dyeing batches ranging from a hundred grams to a hundred kilograms—a practice born solely from the chaos of competing interests. (end of the text) :<br> :Lagasse's version : Removes that whole part :<br> :Original : Nothing there :<br> :Lagasse's version (adds a conclusion where Ravachol would say something about the fact that he is a worker and this would make him feel even more the repressive nature of laws ; a whole part of the text (the conclusion) not to be found anywhere else) (and I mean it doesn't take a PhD to figure that this kind of sentences are not from an illiterate man) : "I am only an uneducated worker; but because I have lived the life of the wretched, I feel the injustice of your repressive laws more deeply than any wealthy bourgeois. Where do you get the right to kill or imprison a man who, brought into this world with the necessity to live, found himself forced to take what he lacked in order to feed himself? I worked to live and to provide for my family; as long as neither I nor mine suffered too much, I remained what you call honest. But then work became scarce, and with unemployment came hunger.

Third, this is a Monthly Challenge work, and my experience is that once the text has been generated, most new editors who participate in the MC do not compare the text against the scan for discrepancies, but instead look for inherently misspelled words and missing punctuation.

There wasn't a clear precedent when I created these, so I don't think they're covered (or prohibited as far as I know) by any existing policies, but please could we discuss this at the Scriptorium to decide a precedent one way or the other before deletion, as I think there's a strong case for having translations pages for anthologies from other languages (such as, for example [[Grimm's Household Tales]]), that show links to individual short stories that have been translated, ''especially'' in instances where there have been no complete translations of the entire anthology. Many of these anthologies are notable (such as [[Gespensterbuch]]), and having a single link from Wikipedia for readers to easily view all English translations of short stories from them would be very helpful (especially in cases such as [[Fantasmagoriana]], which has several authors and so no straightforward way to link to here without a separate page like this). If it's decided to put these purely in author pages, then it would be good to decide what is the best way to do this in practice (e.g. some authors have many short stories – so should these short stories be sorted alphabetically by title [if so, most widely used English translation, or original language? – either way would make it difficult for readers to find all stories in a given anthology at a glance], or by year of first publication? Should these short story bullet points list the anthology that it was first published in [in which case, some authors like [[Author:Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann|E.T.A. Hoffmann]] tended to publish the stories individually in annuals first, and only later collect them in his best known anthology ''Die Serapionsbrüder'' – so it would be difficult for readers, as at present, to find all translations of the ''Serapionsbrüder'' translations from the author page], or all anthologies, or perhaps just notable ones [if so, how do you define this]?) I guess my point is that the situation is quite complex, and I think there's a strong benefit to readers in having these, and very little to lose by having them, as long as we define clearly situations where they are unnecessary (e.g. perhaps in cases where only one story has been translated into English). Sorry for the wall of text – this might not be a big deal to most editors, but to me it is! --<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.15em 0.15em 0.1em">[[User:Yodin|Yodin]]</span><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.25em 0.25em 0.12em"><sup>[[User talk:Yodin|T]]</sup></span> 11:18, 28 February 2025 (UTC) ::Except that these are ''not'' translations pages; they're lists of things published in a language other than English from a collection that also is not in English.

The corresponding Author pages have also been made unnecessarily complex as well by listing each German publication for each story as to where it's been published, making it harder to see the story titles.

Another example I gave, [[Grimm's Household Tales]], also has about half the stories with links – do you agree that there is still value in having this page as it is, or would you prefer to delete the Individual Tales section? As a result, I think they should be counted as translations pages, and that any non-English anthologies that have had more than one story translated into English should be given translations pages like this (I would prefer them to have complete lists of contents, rather than only including the tales that have been translated, as it helps readers to see which stories have been translated, and which ones haven't, but again I'm aware that there has been no discussion on this yet and opinions may differ). You could argue that these should be portals, but I think there are several reasons translations pages would be best – either way I think would be good to get a broader community consensus on this.

In which case, all of the entries on [[Grimm's Household Tales]] should be deleted as none of them are complete, as well as the list of individual stories, which are also not publications. There are very likely to be many, many other examples like this. Excluding translations that are published as part of larger works would also exclude a huge number of novels (for example, many of the transcriptions of Goethe's novels are published in larger collected works).

I'd argue that as they're not in contravention of any rules, and there's a precedent for doing this, they should not be deleted until there's been a wider discussion to settle this point first, or a very clear consensus that they should go. If the latter, I would ask that we settle the scope of what can and cannot be included on the translations pages of anthologies, as this will affect many other pages, and it seems extremely unfair to delete without setting up clear guidelines – otherwise how am I, or other editors, to know whether my (or their) past, current, or future work will be deleted later down the line? --<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.15em 0.15em 0.1em">[[User:Yodin|Yodin]]</span><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.25em 0.25em 0.12em"><sup>[[User talk:Yodin|T]]</sup></span> 22:04, 28 February 2025 (UTC) ::::::You are confusing Translations pages with Versions pages that use a translation header template.

Such things belong at the German Wikisource, not here on the English one. They violate our most basic principle of [[WS:WWI]] in that they are not English publications or English translations. Your comparison with ''[[Grimm's Household Tales]]'' misses the fact that the page lists five published translations of the tales, then the versions pages for the individual tales from those five published translations.

To delete these pages many years later, when there is clear precedent for individual stories being linked to on translations pages, and there being no clear rules or guidelines that even suggest this is not allowed seems extraordinary. The fact that [[Wikisource:What Wikisource includes]] does not specifically permit this also seems misleading, as it does not permit versions pages (including translations pages) at all – would you suggest we delete them all? The translations pages I've created all exist to provide links to translations of stories that are permitted by [[Wikisource:What Wikisource includes]] – as I've mentioned above, being able to have one translations page for an anthology is extremely helpful for readers who are interested in the anthology as a whole.

I’m not convinced of the deletion rationale in the first place, but the nominator’s ill behaviour throughout the course of the discussion is very unbecoming.

They would seem to me to be about linking to various pages within a wider project of translating the German originals. The pages don't sit comfortably in Mainspace: as they are not works themselves, nor are they any of our type of disambiguation page. Portal: namespace is much more suitable. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 08:30, 20 March 2025 (UTC) *:@[[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] I wouldn't be against this – but I think allowing translations pages to link to individual stories/poems is a better option for a couple of reasons: in cases where there are both full translations '''and''' individual story translations (such as [[Grimm's Household Tales]] and [[Fables (Aesop)]]), it would be easier for readers to have both on the same page, rather than a See also section with a link to a Portal: page (as I think most readers would have no idea what a portal is, or why they would have to go there to see another list about the same work). In cases where an author has some anthologies that have been translated as complete works, and other anthologies where each story has been translated separately (such as [[Author:Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann|E. T. A. Hoffmann]], where ''Die Serapionsbrüder'' has been translated in one work, while ''Nachtstücke'' has had each story translated separately) it would be strange to link from the author page to a translations page for one, and a portal for the other – again I think this would confuse readers for no good reason. I would also not be surprised if overzealous Wikidatarers several years from now objected to some Wikidata items for anthologies linking to portal pages here while other anthologies linked to mainspace translations pages! But all that said, I'm glad to be able to discuss this and wouldn't be devastated if portals was what the community consensus agreed on – but as this affects many existing translations pages, not just the three nominated here, and because there's been precedent for many years of translations pages containing "Individual stories" sections, I hope it would be possible to have a Scriptorium discussion to settle the issue first, and ideally create a set of guidelines for the best way to handle this, which we could then apply to ''all'' of these pages. --<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.15em 0.15em 0.1em">[[User:Yodin|Yodin]]</span><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.25em 0.25em 0.12em"><sup>[[User talk:Yodin|T]]</sup></span> 10:32, 20 March 2025 (UTC) ==[[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven, in Fife-shire.pdf]]== This scan is missing two pages; we have several other copies of the same work ([[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (1).pdf|1]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (2).pdf|2]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (3).pdf|3]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (3).pdf|4]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (3).pdf|5]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fifeshire.pdf|6]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buckhaven in Fife-shire.pdf|7]]).

It wouldn't surprise me if we found a later anthology of treaties that does a presentation exactly like here of them together while others treat them separately (and possibly being the origin of the comparative foot notes). A similar example is the Treaty / Peace of Westphalia, "the collective name for two peace treaties," where you might have editions that print both treaties as one thing (hence "versions") while other editions that print each of the two treaties separately (hence "disambiguation"). Until this is sourced it is hard to know which our current example is, it might have been a copy of a later edition that did the joining / annotations or it might have been the user. Given it is short, I would recommend just scan-backing the dozen or so pages linked in the "References", and convert to a disambiguation page to them.

To do so, we need to briefly introduce the history of these texts. Ravachol was arrested and put on trial at the beginning of 1892; during his second trial, he was accused of having committed murders and was facing the death penalty (which he would ultimately receive). He wrote a text to read during the trial, but it was refused by the judge, and Ravachol gave it to his lawyer, Louis Lagasse, on 21st? 22nd? June 1892. On the manuscript, we see two hands: the first corresponds to that of Ravachol, and he corrects his own text by making deletions and changing words, and the second, which does not use the same ink, calligraphy, or spelling. This second hand corrects only the spelling mistakes, so it’s not really important for this discussion, but I mention it anyway. Lagasse passes this text on to the conservative newspaper Le Temps, which republishes it on 23rd June 1892, largely based on the manuscript (although they add punctuation and make some mistakes in reading, the text remains 95% the same, we could say, differing only on orthographic issues here and there). :This first published version was heavily criticised by French anarchist circles, notably ''La Révolte'', the main French anarchist newspaper of the time (or at least one of the main ones, even if it was losing momentum at the time, but that doesn’t matter much). They found it too ‘stupid’ and not good enough; and ten days later, on 3rd July 1892, Lagasse publishes the second version – which is the one that went down in history but differs greatly from Ravachol’s text. I made a small compilation of the most notable differences, and the text is not very long, so removing or adding a paragraph – something already not insignificant in a long work – is really huge here. There are three types of differences, since I’ll skip over the spelling and typographical questions, which are not very relevant and belong more to the ‘normal’ editorial work, let’s say – Lagasse adds passages, Lagasse removes passages, Lagasse rewrites passages. I think in the sample you have a bit of each; the conclusion, for example, is completely Lagasse’s creation – he makes a sort of lyrical outburst about the fact that he (Lagasse's Ravachol) is merely a worker and that this would give him a particular relationship to repression, etc – which is typically the kind of rhetoric one can find in the bourgeois imaginary of that time, by the way. In the sample, we also see a long passage about his relation to anarchism, the reasons why he chose it, and what he envisions for the future, which Lagasse removes altogether; there are also passages where he talks about manual trades (silk work, baking), characteristic of the working class of the fin de siècle, and one might note that silk work is a profession particularly present in Montbrison, where he was being tried and where he was born; so we probably have here a kind of historical opening either onto his choice of using that example or a reinforcement of the fact that the imaginary he develops in his text is deeply marked by the working-class world of his time. Lagasse removes that. :In my view, we should keep both; because the text given by Lagasse had an influence on the history of the left, which never read the manuscript nor the edition of the manuscript in Le Temps, if you will; but at the same time, if we had to keep only one – since I was told that was the way it had to be – I would choose to keep Ravachol’s directly; we know it is from him, we know it is his thinking and his text, and it is published in almost identical form except for a few errors by Le Temps, and this publication precedes Lagasse’s (logical). :{{collapse|Original : For today, if you destroy one criminal, tomorrow ten more will rise. So what must be done? Destroy misery—the seed of crime—by ensuring everyone’s needs are met. And how easy this would be! All it would take is to rebuild society on new foundations, where all is held in common, where each produces according to their abilities and strength, and consumes according to their needs. No longer would we waste labor on useless, harmful things—safes, locks—since there’d be no fear of theft or murder. No more need for money to survive, no dread that the baker might lace bread with dangerous additives to cheat customers. Why would they? Profit would vanish; like everyone else, they’d have easy access to necessities for their work and life. No more inspectors weighing bread, testing coins, or auditing accounts—none of it would matter. :<br> :Lagasse's version : :There will always be criminals, for today you destroy one, and tomorrow ten more will arise.

It would suffice to reorganize society on new foundations where everything is held in common, and where each person, producing according to their abilities and strengths, could consume according to their needs. :<br> :Original : In the silk industry, we would no longer see the rampant speculation that has plagued it from the start—where middlemen force silk to absorb various additives to increase its weight or create a false appearance. By the time the silk reaches the dyer, these same additives must be stripped away so the fabric can properly absorb dyes and chemical fixatives. Then, at the dyer’s turn—and because the manufacturer demands it—the silk is made to absorb up to four-fifths (or more) of its natural weight in processing agents. :::::::This is especially true for black-dyed silk; I cannot confirm if colored silks are as heavily adulterated, but I am certain many are. :Yet if we carefully consider all the wasted materials and labor expended to produce them, it becomes clear how much effort is squandered in saturating silk with these chemicals—only to later burn them out. The silk itself is ruined by excessive treatments, many of which are hazardous to workers and render the fabric unsafe against the skin. Even the dust released as these chemicals dry poses health risks. :Under a rational system, dyeing would no longer be a haphazard process, as it is today. Work could be organized efficiently, eliminating the absurdity of dyeing batches ranging from a hundred grams to a hundred kilograms—a practice born solely from the chaos of competing interests.

Third, this is a Monthly Challenge work, and my experience is that once the text has been generated, most new editors who participate in the MC do not compare the text against the scan for discrepancies, but instead look for inherently misspelled words and missing punctuation.

I am not sure whether it should be considered a second-hand transcription or a transcription of an electronic edition, but in any case the original electronical source does not exist anymore and now only its archived version in [https://web.archive.org/web/20090108184531/http://www8.georgetown.edu/departments/medieval/labyrinth/library/oe/exeter.html web.archive] survives. In theory somebody could finish the transcription from the archive (though it is not likely), but I believe that our task is not web-archive mirroring and that copypasting the text from there is not the way we should follow. Besides, all the transcribed sections contain the note "Edited by Tony Jebson..., all rights reserved". Although there does not seem to be anything really copyrightable on the first sight and so we probably do not have to take the note into account, it at least indicates that the editor did not really wish his transcription to be freely copied. I would ignore the note under other circumstances, but here it is just another small argument added to all the major ones mentioned before.

All the things you've named as potential improvements to the scan-backed version are fixable, and ''pretty much immediately'' fixable at that. So, why is this being positioned as an argument for keeping what are essentially two duplicate works—where one uses a ''deprecated'' sourcing method (sourcing an external link and a crop of a page on the talk page), and the other one uses a ''modern'' sourcing method (using ProofreadPage to centralize the entire newspaper issue as a whole)? ::: And on the topic of "scan-backing having something to do with quality", I would much rather read a scan-backed work than one that wasn't scan-backed. It shows that our standards were followed better, and that the content can be proven more quickly and in a more central location (WS or Commons filespace). So there ''is'' certainly an argument to be made that scan-backing a work is itself an improvement in quality. ''Does that 100% mean the quality was improved?'' No. But what I'm saying is if you take content that was already on a page, and then scan-back it, you just improved the quality of that page. ::: (And that's not even getting into the ''statistical'' quality argument, which is that scan-backing coincides with works being formatted and transcribed better.

Just that I don't believe we can point to a statement saying "work" or "published unit" and having that "obviously" means that a request for pages 1-5 of a ten report is obviously hostable if someone requests just those five pages via FOIA as a "complete work" while someone cutting out just the whole report now needs to be deleted because that was released as part of a 1000 page large document release and hence is now an "extract" of that 1000 page release.

There wasn't a clear precedent when I created these, so I don't think they're covered (or prohibited as far as I know) by any existing policies, but please could we discuss this at the Scriptorium to decide a precedent one way or the other before deletion, as I think there's a strong case for having translations pages for anthologies from other languages (such as, for example [[Grimm's Household Tales]]), that show links to individual short stories that have been translated, ''especially'' in instances where there have been no complete translations of the entire anthology. Many of these anthologies are notable (such as [[Gespensterbuch]]), and having a single link from Wikipedia for readers to easily view all English translations of short stories from them would be very helpful (especially in cases such as [[Fantasmagoriana]], which has several authors and so no straightforward way to link to here without a separate page like this). If it's decided to put these purely in author pages, then it would be good to decide what is the best way to do this in practice (e.g. some authors have many short stories – so should these short stories be sorted alphabetically by title [if so, most widely used English translation, or original language? – either way would make it difficult for readers to find all stories in a given anthology at a glance], or by year of first publication? Should these short story bullet points list the anthology that it was first published in [in which case, some authors like [[Author:Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann|E.T.A. Hoffmann]] tended to publish the stories individually in annuals first, and only later collect them in his best known anthology ''Die Serapionsbrüder'' – so it would be difficult for readers, as at present, to find all translations of the ''Serapionsbrüder'' translations from the author page], or all anthologies, or perhaps just notable ones [if so, how do you define this]?) I guess my point is that the situation is quite complex, and I think there's a strong benefit to readers in having these, and very little to lose by having them, as long as we define clearly situations where they are unnecessary (e.g. perhaps in cases where only one story has been translated into English).

As a result, I think they should be counted as translations pages, and that any non-English anthologies that have had more than one story translated into English should be given translations pages like this (I would prefer them to have complete lists of contents, rather than only including the tales that have been translated, as it helps readers to see which stories have been translated, and which ones haven't, but again I'm aware that there has been no discussion on this yet and opinions may differ). You could argue that these should be portals, but I think there are several reasons translations pages would be best – either way I think would be good to get a broader community consensus on this.

In which case, all of the entries on [[Grimm's Household Tales]] should be deleted as none of them are complete, as well as the list of individual stories, which are also not publications. There are very likely to be many, many other examples like this. Excluding translations that are published as part of larger works would also exclude a huge number of novels (for example, many of the transcriptions of Goethe's novels are published in larger collected works).

I'd argue that as they're not in contravention of any rules, and there's a precedent for doing this, they should not be deleted until there's been a wider discussion to settle this point first, or a very clear consensus that they should go. If the latter, I would ask that we settle the scope of what can and cannot be included on the translations pages of anthologies, as this will affect many other pages, and it seems extremely unfair to delete without setting up clear guidelines – otherwise how am I, or other editors, to know whether my (or their) past, current, or future work will be deleted later down the line? --<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.15em 0.15em 0.1em">[[User:Yodin|Yodin]]</span><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.25em 0.25em 0.12em"><sup>[[User talk:Yodin|T]]</sup></span> 22:04, 28 February 2025 (UTC) ::::::You are confusing Translations pages with Versions pages that use a translation header template.

To delete these pages many years later, when there is clear precedent for individual stories being linked to on translations pages, and there being no clear rules or guidelines that even suggest this is not allowed seems extraordinary. The fact that [[Wikisource:What Wikisource includes]] does not specifically permit this also seems misleading, as it does not permit versions pages (including translations pages) at all – would you suggest we delete them all? The translations pages I've created all exist to provide links to translations of stories that are permitted by [[Wikisource:What Wikisource includes]] – as I've mentioned above, being able to have one translations page for an anthology is extremely helpful for readers who are interested in the anthology as a whole.

I’m not convinced of the deletion rationale in the first place, but the nominator’s ill behaviour throughout the course of the discussion is very unbecoming. If another editor thinks these pages problematic, perhaps they can be nominated again in the future, but I don’t think that this discussion is very useful at this point.

They would seem to me to be about linking to various pages within a wider project of translating the German originals. The pages don't sit comfortably in Mainspace: as they are not works themselves, nor are they any of our type of disambiguation page. Portal: namespace is much more suitable. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 08:30, 20 March 2025 (UTC) *:@[[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] I wouldn't be against this – but I think allowing translations pages to link to individual stories/poems is a better option for a couple of reasons: in cases where there are both full translations '''and''' individual story translations (such as [[Grimm's Household Tales]] and [[Fables (Aesop)]]), it would be easier for readers to have both on the same page, rather than a See also section with a link to a Portal: page (as I think most readers would have no idea what a portal is, or why they would have to go there to see another list about the same work). In cases where an author has some anthologies that have been translated as complete works, and other anthologies where each story has been translated separately (such as [[Author:Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffmann|E. T. A. Hoffmann]], where ''Die Serapionsbrüder'' has been translated in one work, while ''Nachtstücke'' has had each story translated separately) it would be strange to link from the author page to a translations page for one, and a portal for the other – again I think this would confuse readers for no good reason. I would also not be surprised if overzealous Wikidatarers several years from now objected to some Wikidata items for anthologies linking to portal pages here while other anthologies linked to mainspace translations pages! But all that said, I'm glad to be able to discuss this and wouldn't be devastated if portals was what the community consensus agreed on – but as this affects many existing translations pages, not just the three nominated here, and because there's been precedent for many years of translations pages containing "Individual stories" sections, I hope it would be possible to have a Scriptorium discussion to settle the issue first, and ideally create a set of guidelines for the best way to handle this, which we could then apply to ''all'' of these pages. --<span style="text-shadow:grey 0.15em 0.15em 0.1em">[[User:Yodin|Yodin]]</span><span style="text-shadow:grey 0.25em 0.25em 0.12em"><sup>[[User talk:Yodin|T]]</sup></span> 10:32, 20 March 2025 (UTC) ==[[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven, in Fife-shire.pdf]]== This scan is missing two pages; we have several other copies of the same work ([[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (1).pdf|1]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (2).pdf|2]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (3).pdf|3]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (3).pdf|4]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fife-shire (3).pdf|5]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buck-haven in Fifeshire.pdf|6]], [[Index:Ancient and modern history of Buckhaven in Fife-shire.pdf|7]]).

It wouldn't surprise me if we found a later anthology of treaties that does a presentation exactly like here of them together while others treat them separately (and possibly being the origin of the comparative foot notes). A similar example is the Treaty / Peace of Westphalia, "the collective name for two peace treaties," where you might have editions that print both treaties as one thing (hence "versions") while other editions that print each of the two treaties separately (hence "disambiguation"). Until this is sourced it is hard to know which our current example is, it might have been a copy of a later edition that did the joining / annotations or it might have been the user.

To do so, we need to briefly introduce the history of these texts. Ravachol was arrested and put on trial at the beginning of 1892; during his second trial, he was accused of having committed murders and was facing the death penalty (which he would ultimately receive). He wrote a text to read during the trial, but it was refused by the judge, and Ravachol gave it to his lawyer, Louis Lagasse, on 21st? 22nd? June 1892. On the manuscript, we see two hands: the first corresponds to that of Ravachol, and he corrects his own text by making deletions and changing words, and the second, which does not use the same ink, calligraphy, or spelling. This second hand corrects only the spelling mistakes, so it’s not really important for this discussion, but I mention it anyway. Lagasse passes this text on to the conservative newspaper Le Temps, which republishes it on 23rd June 1892, largely based on the manuscript (although they add punctuation and make some mistakes in reading, the text remains 95% the same, we could say, differing only on orthographic issues here and there). :This first published version was heavily criticised by French anarchist circles, notably ''La Révolte'', the main French anarchist newspaper of the time (or at least one of the main ones, even if it was losing momentum at the time, but that doesn’t matter much). They found it too ‘stupid’ and not good enough; and ten days later, on 3rd July 1892, Lagasse publishes the second version – which is the one that went down in history but differs greatly from Ravachol’s text. I made a small compilation of the most notable differences, and the text is not very long, so removing or adding a paragraph – something already not insignificant in a long work – is really huge here. There are three types of differences, since I’ll skip over the spelling and typographical questions, which are not very relevant and belong more to the ‘normal’ editorial work, let’s say – Lagasse adds passages, Lagasse removes passages, Lagasse rewrites passages. I think in the sample you have a bit of each; the conclusion, for example, is completely Lagasse’s creation – he makes a sort of lyrical outburst about the fact that he (Lagasse's Ravachol) is merely a worker and that this would give him a particular relationship to repression, etc – which is typically the kind of rhetoric one can find in the bourgeois imaginary of that time, by the way. In the sample, we also see a long passage about his relation to anarchism, the reasons why he chose it, and what he envisions for the future, which Lagasse removes altogether; there are also passages where he talks about manual trades (silk work, baking), characteristic of the working class of the fin de siècle, and one might note that silk work is a profession particularly present in Montbrison, where he was being tried and where he was born; so we probably have here a kind of historical opening either onto his choice of using that example or a reinforcement of the fact that the imaginary he develops in his text is deeply marked by the working-class world of his time. Lagasse removes that. :In my view, we should keep both; because the text given by Lagasse had an influence on the history of the left, which never read the manuscript nor the edition of the manuscript in Le Temps, if you will; but at the same time, if we had to keep only one – since I was told that was the way it had to be – I would choose to keep Ravachol’s directly; we know it is from him, we know it is his thinking and his text, and it is published in almost identical form except for a few errors by Le Temps, and this publication precedes Lagasse’s (logical). :{{collapse|Original : For today, if you destroy one criminal, tomorrow ten more will rise. So what must be done? Destroy misery—the seed of crime—by ensuring everyone’s needs are met. And how easy this would be! All it would take is to rebuild society on new foundations, where all is held in common, where each produces according to their abilities and strength, and consumes according to their needs. No longer would we waste labor on useless, harmful things—safes, locks—since there’d be no fear of theft or murder. No more need for money to survive, no dread that the baker might lace bread with dangerous additives to cheat customers. Why would they? Profit would vanish; like everyone else, they’d have easy access to necessities for their work and life. No more inspectors weighing bread, testing coins, or auditing accounts—none of it would matter. :<br> :Lagasse's version : :There will always be criminals, for today you destroy one, and tomorrow ten more will arise. So, what is needed? To destroy poverty, the breeding ground of crime, by ensuring that everyone’s needs are met! And how easy this would be to achieve! It would suffice to reorganize society on new foundations where everything is held in common, and where each person, producing according to their abilities and strengths, could consume according to their needs. :<br> :Original : In the silk industry, we would no longer see the rampant speculation that has plagued it from the start—where middlemen force silk to absorb various additives to increase its weight or create a false appearance. By the time the silk reaches the dyer, these same additives must be stripped away so the fabric can properly absorb dyes and chemical fixatives. Then, at the dyer’s turn—and because the manufacturer demands it—the silk is made to absorb up to four-fifths (or more) of its natural weight in processing agents. :::::::This is especially true for black-dyed silk; I cannot confirm if colored silks are as heavily adulterated, but I am certain many are. :Yet if we carefully consider all the wasted materials and labor expended to produce them, it becomes clear how much effort is squandered in saturating silk with these chemicals—only to later burn them out. The silk itself is ruined by excessive treatments, many of which are hazardous to workers and render the fabric unsafe against the skin. Even the dust released as these chemicals dry poses health risks. :Under a rational system, dyeing would no longer be a haphazard process, as it is today. Work could be organized efficiently, eliminating the absurdity of dyeing batches ranging from a hundred grams to a hundred kilograms—a practice born solely from the chaos of competing interests.

Where do you get the right to kill or imprison a man who, brought into this world with the necessity to live, found himself forced to take what he lacked in order to feed himself? I worked to live and to provide for my family; as long as neither I nor mine suffered too much, I remained what you call honest. But then work became scarce, and with unemployment came hunger.

When outside sources are pasted in, that results in errors to spelling and punctuation, and those errors persist for years, even decades. Third, this is a Monthly Challenge work, and my experience is that once the text has been generated, most new editors who participate in the MC do not compare the text against the scan for discrepancies, but instead look for inherently misspelled words and missing punctuation.

[[User:Nosferattus|Nosferattus]] ([[User talk:Nosferattus|talk]]) 16:07, 28 May 2025 (UTC) :I'm confused now. The scan of the 1905 edition is the first edition, but these are from an ''earlier'' 1903 edition? If all the pages are from a different edition, then the original reason for nomination of deletion (redundant) is not valid, because they are different editions. I also have yet to see any evidence presented that they are in fact different, we have only an assertion that there must be differences, without actually demonstrating any. So this presents two issues to be resolved: (1) How can the 1905 edition be the first edition, if there was a 1903 edition that is supposed to be so different? (2) Are there in fact any differences between the scans and the transcribed pages listed above? --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 18:30, 28 May 2025 (UTC) ::{{ping|EncycloPetey}} Both the 1903 edition and the 1905 edition are the "First Edition", even though they are different in both layout and content. You can find textual differences in the very first entry: FONTANES. The 1903 edition says "Fontane's works" in the last sentence.[https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_New_International_Encyclop%C3%A6dia/el1MAAAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=560] The 1905 edition says "Fontanes's works" in the last sentence.[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c4/The_New_International_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_1st_ed._v._08.djvu/page12-2049px-The_New_International_Encyclop%C3%A6dia_1st_ed._v._08.djvu.jpg] The 1903 edition and the 1905 edition are significantly different. We cannot use the 1903 edition as sources for the 1905 edition and the pages that were transcribed from the faked 1905 images have to be retranscribed from scratch. If you want to create a 1903 edition transcription project and move the pages to that, feel free to do so, but it seems rather pointless to me. The 1903 edition is basically just a sloppy version of the 1905 edition with lots of typos and different volume organization. It has the same topic entries (as far as I can tell); they're just not as well edited. [[User:Nosferattus|Nosferattus]] ([[User talk:Nosferattus|talk]]) 00:10, 29 May 2025 (UTC) :::If the layout and content are in fact different, then they are ''not'' the same edition. When a work is altered through editing, it's a new edition. That's what an edition is; it's a particular result of editing.

You can either believe me and delete them or you can use the bogus transcriptions. Using transcriptions from a different edition, however, seems to defeat the whole purpose of having them scan-backed. If you want it to be an accurate transcription of the work as published, those pages should be retranscribed, IMO. [[User:Nosferattus|Nosferattus]] ([[User talk:Nosferattus|talk]]) 00:45, 29 May 2025 (UTC) :::::So, ''if'' they're not the same edition, then labeling them both as "first edition" is likely the source of conflation, and we should change that to a date. But if they're not the same edition, then the reason for deletion given at the outset of this discussion is incorrect, because if they are different, then one is not redundant to the other. We do host multiple editions of works when the editions are different. But again, no evidence has been provided that they are in fact different aside from a single letter.

I am not sure whether it should be considered a second-hand transcription or a transcription of an electronic edition, but in any case the original electronical source does not exist anymore and now only its archived version in [https://web.archive.org/web/20090108184531/http://www8.georgetown.edu/departments/medieval/labyrinth/library/oe/exeter.html web.archive] survives. In theory somebody could finish the transcription from the archive (though it is not likely), but I believe that our task is not web-archive mirroring and that copypasting the text from there is not the way we should follow. Besides, all the transcribed sections contain the note "Edited by Tony Jebson..., all rights reserved". Although there does not seem to be anything really copyrightable on the first sight and so we probably do not have to take the note into account, it at least indicates that the editor did not really wish his transcription to be freely copied. I would ignore the note under other circumstances, but here it is just another small argument added to all the major ones mentioned before.

All the things you've named as potential improvements to the scan-backed version are fixable, and ''pretty much immediately'' fixable at that. So, why is this being positioned as an argument for keeping what are essentially two duplicate works—where one uses a ''deprecated'' sourcing method (sourcing an external link and a crop of a page on the talk page), and the other one uses a ''modern'' sourcing method (using ProofreadPage to centralize the entire newspaper issue as a whole)? ::: And on the topic of "scan-backing having something to do with quality", I would much rather read a scan-backed work than one that wasn't scan-backed. It shows that our standards were followed better, and that the content can be proven more quickly and in a more central location (WS or Commons filespace). So there ''is'' certainly an argument to be made that scan-backing a work is itself an improvement in quality. ''Does that 100% mean the quality was improved?'' No. But what I'm saying is if you take content that was already on a page, and then scan-back it, you just improved the quality of that page. ::: (And that's not even getting into the ''statistical'' quality argument, which is that scan-backing coincides with works being formatted and transcribed better.

It works on mine though. (I'm curious to know what browser and machine EP was using to view it—this could indicate a problem with the template itself. I could do some testing on this.) But Koavf ''was'' edit-warring with an admin here, rather than defaulting to a public discussion to resolve a dispute, and that's a pretty well-known breach of general wiki etiquette—something that Koavf should definitely be aware of, given [[w:Koavf|his extensive and ''famous'' history in the WMF community]]. So, I think it's fair to say Koavf is in the wrong in his engagement in edit-warring. But it happens—we get angry sometimes—so EP having set a mere 3 days to chill out, rather than an outright permanent or long-term block, seems reasonable enough to me.

More concerning, you have already been reproached misuse of rollback at least once at [[WS:AN]]. So '''my first question is to you: 1) can you commit to in the future refraining from rollbacking non-vandalism, for which you have already been admonished?''' : On the merits of the block: a 3-day cooling-off block for edit warring with {{tqi|pay attention}} in the summaries, is not completely out of bounds. However, on this occasion as in others, it seems to me you are a bit trigger-happy with the block button. :# You have here blocked Koavf for 2 (two) reverts. Reverting twice should not be done, but I'm not sure it warrants a block (or one of three days; [[WS:BP]] says one for EW except for egregious cases). :# No one can edit-war alone. You too were edit-warring with them. As far as I can see, you bear as much blame as them in this case: both of you did not engage in discussion and instead re-reverted.

Never, and especially not if that conflict is an ongoing edit war. In doing so an admin is about certain to be influenced by their own grievances. So '''my second question is to you: 2) can you commit to in the future refraining from blocking non-vandals you are in personal conflict with, and instead to bring the issue first to the community?''' : I would like to remind both of you (@[[User:Koavf|Koavf]] this is for you too) that reverting is not a substitute for discussion. If at some point you find yourself making your second identical revert on the same page in a few minutes, ''just don't''. There is zero point edit-warring. The way of collaboration isn't re-reverting; it's stepping back, and asking for wider opinions on the issue at hand ([[WS:S]] being the forum for that).

It works on mine though. (I'm curious to know what browser and machine EP was using to view it—this could indicate a problem with the template itself. I could do some testing on this.) But Koavf ''was'' edit-warring with an admin here, rather than defaulting to a public discussion to resolve a dispute, and that's a pretty well-known breach of general wiki etiquette—something that Koavf should definitely be aware of, given [[w:Koavf|his extensive and ''famous'' history in the WMF community]].

However, on this occasion as in others, it seems to me you are a bit trigger-happy with the block button. :# You have here blocked Koavf for 2 (two) reverts.

You too were edit-warring with them. As far as I can see, you bear as much blame as them in this case: both of you did not engage in discussion and instead re-reverted.

Never, and especially not if that conflict is an ongoing edit war. In doing so an admin is about certain to be influenced by their own grievances. So '''my second question is to you: 2) can you commit to in the future refraining from blocking non-vandals you are in personal conflict with, and instead to bring the issue first to the community?''' : I would like to remind both of you (@[[User:Koavf|Koavf]] this is for you too) that reverting is not a substitute for discussion. If at some point you find yourself making your second identical revert on the same page in a few minutes, ''just don't''. There is zero point edit-warring.

Where are you finding the definition you've used? WS:BP recommends one day for first-time offenses, but Koavf has been previously blocked.

When no member of the community responded in the Scriptorium, I proceeded with a thread here: [[#User:Pigsonthewing reverts while failing to discuss]], requesting admin comment. When the edits are not vandalism, I have brought the issue to the community. ::With regard to your first question, I used "undo". I see that one of my edits registers as rollback, which I attribute to a misclick.

There are multiple reasons listed at [[WS:Blocking policy]], and I do not believe it would be in the best interests of the community if I agreed not to block someone who has repeatedly violated copyright, repeatedly violated policy, or made personal attacks, simply because they have yelled at me. There have been periods of time where I was the only admin active here for several hours, and even posts to this page can sit for a full day before the first admin responds. If you believe that some form of your request should be added to the blocking policy, then that should be discussed with the community; it is not currently there. For the issue of whether Koavf's reversion was vandalism, it sounds as though we are arguing the definition of policy and disagree on that point, but I did verify the definition of vandalism before preceding with the block and post here.

Things like [[Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Rackham)]], where the whole point of the edition is that it's illustrated by Rackham, tend to be the exceptions. Right now we do not have any direct guidance on this, and that kinda-sorta works when it's up to human judgement and nobody fights about it. You get very inconsistent application of it (cf. all the {{para|illustrator}} parameters on subpages I had to skip), and you risk people fighting about it (cf. the rather heated revert wars about whether {{para|year}} should be used on subpages).

The issue on Wikisource is never just that of "notability", but whether or not the other person '''published''' anything.

Medieval Europe did not have a fixed system of naming as we as used to having today. Rather, individuals had a given name, but were recorded with whatever description might be needed as circumstances called for it. So, for example, Leonardo da Vinci ("Leonardo, from Vinci") was usually enough to tell you ''which'' Leonardo someone was talking about, even though "da Vinci" was not actually part of his name. His "full name" was simply "Leonardo". When treating with names before about 1500, the issue is more often: "Which form of the name is used most often in modern scholarship?" than "What is the ''full'' name?" --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 00:11, 4 February 2017 (UTC) :::{{Ping|EncycloPetey}} For names in the form "de/du/d' [Place]" I've left them if the person's name is too simple but moved them if the name is otherwise complete. In the case of "Galileo Galilei" or "Leonardo da Vinci" the Italian custom would be important to leave to those appellations so we can understand who it is supposed to be--similar to royalty. Of course, Anglo-style names from recent centuries are a lot easier for me to parse.

Additionally, pages are routinely moved or created by others at full names and a page move based on a full name has passed by the Scriptorium recently without objection.

As you can see from my edit history, I've recently been working on [[What_to_the_Slave_Is_the_Fourth_of_July%3F_(annotated)]] and that lead me to take a look at other annotated editions to see how they are done. We have very few here and in spite of that, there is no one way to do them. I have chosen a certain style on the work I just linked because I like a mix of inline links, citations, and annotations as being separate things that mean something different. E.g. I may include an inline link to Wiktionary for a word that is obscure, a reference for something that is cited (like a Bible passage or quoting Shakespeare), and an annotation for anything else that is unclear or could use some context. :I'm assuming that you've already seen [[Wikisource:Annotations]] but if not, I recommend it. For a unique way to do it, I'd recommend taking a look at [[Strivings of the Negro People]] and [[Strivings of the Negro People/Annotated]]. The nice thing about the way this is done is that there is just one text and it is transcluded into another page with new content in it. So there is no need to proofread twice or copy and paste changes to the original over and over again, etc. I would recommend you maybe consider this format because it could save you some time.

Almost all of the edits I make to Wikisource are the product of a large software project I've been working tirelessly on for almost a year, and that will take many more years to fully perfect. I'm working on ways to streamline the proofreading process and make it faster, easier, more effective, and cleaner. I try and keep it as close to best practices as possible. The editing process I'm using right now is entirely a power-user thing, but due to my observations and feedback about Wikisource's editing challenges through this very technology, the frontend (ProofreadPage itself, our local handling of Wikidata work/version data, and the transclusion process) is finally seeing some badly-needed improvements being realized over time, thanks especially to the genius work of CalendulaAsteraceae in this area. I spend almost all of my extra time every day transcribing old books and movies for Wikisource; it's an interest I take very seriously...perhaps too seriously, but that's another story. The line between an addiction and just life is not so distinct online I guess... If there is an issue with some of the software and templates I develop for transcriptions, it might be better to ask me about it individually before starting a Proposed deletion, because likelihood is I will not even disagree with your feelings on the approach... In this particular case, there happened to be a better alternative that I didn't think of at the time I developed the individual-template model with auxTOCs, and it took your nudge to remind me to look for an improvement. And go figure, today's improvement actually worked! That's something I wasn't expecting, what a miracle... I'd consider that a huge win, and I partially have you to thank for that. But anyway, I'd ask that you give me personal feedback and if it's something I should fix I will, or at least we could come up with some kind of compromise. I don't want a technical issue—15,000 lines of code and 4 hours of transcription with no breaks later—to be framed as "you failed, SnowyCinema!!! Shame on you! Delete!" That probably wasn't how you intended it to come across—you probably weren't aware of the large scope of this operation and maybe just assumed I was a new user unaware of general wiki practices (I did change my username again after all)—but a deletion discussion framed like this implies that a contributor was wholly incorrect for making a wrong template and puts ''all'' of their work ''collectively'' in a negative light. If we still fundamentally disagreed after a few discussion comments, I'd have no problem with a PD discussion after the fact, because the disagreement after full understanding in both parties would justify that more. But more likely, I would improve the approach per your suggestions and make the requested changes to existing works. Plus it'd be nice to catch up once in a while. Let's talk instead of debate...unless we have to. Happy editing! [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema|talk]]) 16:41, 24 April 2024 (UTC) :Nice to hear from you, ol' FakeHead.

He has since claimed that he didn't even know he used rollback, which is its own kind of concern, but you are correct that he could actually just be confused and not paying attention instead of actively dissimulating. I have just seen this before when EP does something inscrutable and inappropriate and then feigns ignorance of what is happening or just refuses to explain his own behavior and why he did what he did, so it strains credulity that his explanations are legitimate and that he didn't just do what I supposed. He has done this before where he just deflects answering the simplest question, keeps on harassing me about nonsense, and then goes on about his day, occasionally coming back to my talk page to post more tangential nonsense and never answering the question that was asked, so I am personally tired of that inappropriateness.

The issue on Wikisource is never just that of "notability", but whether or not the other person '''published''' anything. I do not know in this case whether it will make any difference, but just want to make the reasoning clear to you. The issues on Wikisource are not the same as those on Wikipedia. Also, please note that the document you are using to justify all of these Author page moves is an "Essay", and has never been adopted as a Policy or as a Guideline by Wikisource. It is possible that some editors might take issue with certain moves to full names, although I have not seen any yet of that sort myself. Names like "T. S. Eliot" and "Virginia Woolf" in particular probably ought to have a discussion if they are to be moved. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 23:39, 3 February 2017 (UTC) :{{Ping|EncycloPetey}} What I mean as "notable" is not necessarily the sense of Wikipedia or Wikidata but yes, someone who may have produced a document/text/speech which could reasonably be reproduced here.

Medieval Europe did not have a fixed system of naming as we as used to having today. Rather, individuals had a given name, but were recorded with whatever description might be needed as circumstances called for it. So, for example, Leonardo da Vinci ("Leonardo, from Vinci") was usually enough to tell you ''which'' Leonardo someone was talking about, even though "da Vinci" was not actually part of his name. His "full name" was simply "Leonardo". When treating with names before about 1500, the issue is more often: "Which form of the name is used most often in modern scholarship?" than "What is the ''full'' name?" --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 00:11, 4 February 2017 (UTC) :::{{Ping|EncycloPetey}} For names in the form "de/du/d' [Place]" I've left them if the person's name is too simple but moved them if the name is otherwise complete. In the case of "Galileo Galilei" or "Leonardo da Vinci" the Italian custom would be important to leave to those appellations so we can understand who it is supposed to be--similar to royalty. Of course, Anglo-style names from recent centuries are a lot easier for me to parse.

If in 15 years there hasn't actually been some traction on formalizing a single standard across the project, that's unfortunate but on the one hand, it certainly leaves no reason to ''not'' make them consistent and on the other, we do have something written somewhere that prefers full names. Additionally, pages are routinely moved or created by others at full names and a page move based on a full name has passed by the Scriptorium recently without objection.

See, e.g. [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Tables/Advanced this guide from MDN] on how to use column and row scopes as well as captions for data tables (i.e. not tables that are incorrectly used for layout). [https://www.washington.edu/accesscomputing/webd2/student/unit2/module5/lesson1.html Here] is another very basic example of a data table: each row shows information "independent" of the other rows but they are arranged in a tabular fashion: this is a data table and is obviously ''not'' a layout table. Since layout tables ''shouldn't exist at all'', then yes, I assumed that we would use proper semantics, best practices, and CSS for positioning elements, since that is its purpose.

As you can see from my edit history, I've recently been working on [[What_to_the_Slave_Is_the_Fourth_of_July%3F_(annotated)]] and that lead me to take a look at other annotated editions to see how they are done. We have very few here and in spite of that, there is no one way to do them. I have chosen a certain style on the work I just linked because I like a mix of inline links, citations, and annotations as being separate things that mean something different. E.g. I may include an inline link to Wiktionary for a word that is obscure, a reference for something that is cited (like a Bible passage or quoting Shakespeare), and an annotation for anything else that is unclear or could use some context. :I'm assuming that you've already seen [[Wikisource:Annotations]] but if not, I recommend it. For a unique way to do it, I'd recommend taking a look at [[Strivings of the Negro People]] and [[Strivings of the Negro People/Annotated]]. The nice thing about the way this is done is that there is just one text and it is transcluded into another page with new content in it. So there is no need to proofread twice or copy and paste changes to the original over and over again, etc. I would recommend you maybe consider this format because it could save you some time. If that method seems confusing or weird at first, let me know and I'd be happy to help you. :Real treat to hear from you and to see someone else interested in annotations and the work that I started ''years'' ago and have yet to finish.

Almost all of the edits I make to Wikisource are the product of a large software project I've been working tirelessly on for almost a year, and that will take many more years to fully perfect. I'm working on ways to streamline the proofreading process and make it faster, easier, more effective, and cleaner. I try and keep it as close to best practices as possible. The editing process I'm using right now is entirely a power-user thing, but due to my observations and feedback about Wikisource's editing challenges through this very technology, the frontend (ProofreadPage itself, our local handling of Wikidata work/version data, and the transclusion process) is finally seeing some badly-needed improvements being realized over time, thanks especially to the genius work of CalendulaAsteraceae in this area. I spend almost all of my extra time every day transcribing old books and movies for Wikisource; it's an interest I take very seriously...perhaps too seriously, but that's another story. The line between an addiction and just life is not so distinct online I guess... If there is an issue with some of the software and templates I develop for transcriptions, it might be better to ask me about it individually before starting a Proposed deletion, because likelihood is I will not even disagree with your feelings on the approach... In this particular case, there happened to be a better alternative that I didn't think of at the time I developed the individual-template model with auxTOCs, and it took your nudge to remind me to look for an improvement. And go figure, today's improvement actually worked! That's something I wasn't expecting, what a miracle... I'd consider that a huge win, and I partially have you to thank for that. But anyway, I'd ask that you give me personal feedback and if it's something I should fix I will, or at least we could come up with some kind of compromise. I don't want a technical issue—15,000 lines of code and 4 hours of transcription with no breaks later—to be framed as "you failed, SnowyCinema!!! Shame on you! Delete!" That probably wasn't how you intended it to come across—you probably weren't aware of the large scope of this operation and maybe just assumed I was a new user unaware of general wiki practices (I did change my username again after all)—but a deletion discussion framed like this implies that a contributor was wholly incorrect for making a wrong template and puts ''all'' of their work ''collectively'' in a negative light. If we still fundamentally disagreed after a few discussion comments, I'd have no problem with a PD discussion after the fact, because the disagreement after full understanding in both parties would justify that more. But more likely, I would improve the approach per your suggestions and make the requested changes to existing works. Plus it'd be nice to catch up once in a while. Let's talk instead of debate...unless we have to. Happy editing! [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema|talk]]) 16:41, 24 April 2024 (UTC) :Nice to hear from you, ol' FakeHead.

I poked around several pages and saw that it was well done, too (but I didn't validate any pages--I was a little too busy for that).

What I think happened was he wasn't paying any attention to my edits, abused rollback to undo a whole host of changes that he had no objection to, and blocked me preemptively and now that I've asked him repeatedly why he did that and what the purported problems were with my last edit, he's ignored the question so that he won't have to actually say "I just abused rollback in a personal content dispute and instead of posting to talk or even protecting the page, I blocked you and then stonewalled on why", but I could be wrong. He has since claimed that he didn't even know he used rollback, which is its own kind of concern, but you are correct that he could actually just be confused and not paying attention instead of actively dissimulating. I have just seen this before when EP does something inscrutable and inappropriate and then feigns ignorance of what is happening or just refuses to explain his own behavior and why he did what he did, so it strains credulity that his explanations are legitimate and that he didn't just do what I supposed. He has done this before where he just deflects answering the simplest question, keeps on harassing me about nonsense, and then goes on about his day, occasionally coming back to my talk page to post more tangential nonsense and never answering the question that was asked, so I am personally tired of that inappropriateness.

Medieval Europe did not have a fixed system of naming as we as used to having today. Rather, individuals had a given name, but were recorded with whatever description might be needed as circumstances called for it. So, for example, Leonardo da Vinci ("Leonardo, from Vinci") was usually enough to tell you ''which'' Leonardo someone was talking about, even though "da Vinci" was not actually part of his name. His "full name" was simply "Leonardo". When treating with names before about 1500, the issue is more often: "Which form of the name is used most often in modern scholarship?" than "What is the ''full'' name?" --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 00:11, 4 February 2017 (UTC) :::{{Ping|EncycloPetey}} For names in the form "de/du/d' [Place]" I've left them if the person's name is too simple but moved them if the name is otherwise complete.

These are data tables. See, e.g. [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Tables/Advanced this guide from MDN] on how to use column and row scopes as well as captions for data tables (i.e. not tables that are incorrectly used for layout). [https://www.washington.edu/accesscomputing/webd2/student/unit2/module5/lesson1.html Here] is another very basic example of a data table: each row shows information "independent" of the other rows but they are arranged in a tabular fashion: this is a data table and is obviously ''not'' a layout table. Since layout tables ''shouldn't exist at all'', then yes, I assumed that we would use proper semantics, best practices, and CSS for positioning elements, since that is its purpose. I suppose that if someone were incorrectly using a table for layout on Wikisource, then it shouldn't have a caption but it also shouldn't exist in the first place. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 06:11, 12 April 2021 (UTC) == Re:Non-breaking spaces == I always remove non-breaking spaces because I can’t see the point of having them.

As you can see from my edit history, I've recently been working on [[What_to_the_Slave_Is_the_Fourth_of_July%3F_(annotated)]] and that lead me to take a look at other annotated editions to see how they are done. We have very few here and in spite of that, there is no one way to do them. I have chosen a certain style on the work I just linked because I like a mix of inline links, citations, and annotations as being separate things that mean something different. E.g. I may include an inline link to Wiktionary for a word that is obscure, a reference for something that is cited (like a Bible passage or quoting Shakespeare), and an annotation for anything else that is unclear or could use some context. :I'm assuming that you've already seen [[Wikisource:Annotations]] but if not, I recommend it. For a unique way to do it, I'd recommend taking a look at [[Strivings of the Negro People]] and [[Strivings of the Negro People/Annotated]]. The nice thing about the way this is done is that there is just one text and it is transcluded into another page with new content in it. So there is no need to proofread twice or copy and paste changes to the original over and over again, etc. I would recommend you maybe consider this format because it could save you some time. If that method seems confusing or weird at first, let me know and I'd be happy to help you. :Real treat to hear from you and to see someone else interested in annotations and the work that I started ''years'' ago and have yet to finish.

Almost all of the edits I make to Wikisource are the product of a large software project I've been working tirelessly on for almost a year, and that will take many more years to fully perfect. I'm working on ways to streamline the proofreading process and make it faster, easier, more effective, and cleaner. I try and keep it as close to best practices as possible. The editing process I'm using right now is entirely a power-user thing, but due to my observations and feedback about Wikisource's editing challenges through this very technology, the frontend (ProofreadPage itself, our local handling of Wikidata work/version data, and the transclusion process) is finally seeing some badly-needed improvements being realized over time, thanks especially to the genius work of CalendulaAsteraceae in this area. I spend almost all of my extra time every day transcribing old books and movies for Wikisource; it's an interest I take very seriously...perhaps too seriously, but that's another story. The line between an addiction and just life is not so distinct online I guess... If there is an issue with some of the software and templates I develop for transcriptions, it might be better to ask me about it individually before starting a Proposed deletion, because likelihood is I will not even disagree with your feelings on the approach... In this particular case, there happened to be a better alternative that I didn't think of at the time I developed the individual-template model with auxTOCs, and it took your nudge to remind me to look for an improvement. And go figure, today's improvement actually worked! That's something I wasn't expecting, what a miracle... I'd consider that a huge win, and I partially have you to thank for that. But anyway, I'd ask that you give me personal feedback and if it's something I should fix I will, or at least we could come up with some kind of compromise. I don't want a technical issue—15,000 lines of code and 4 hours of transcription with no breaks later—to be framed as "you failed, SnowyCinema!!! Shame on you! Delete!" That probably wasn't how you intended it to come across—you probably weren't aware of the large scope of this operation and maybe just assumed I was a new user unaware of general wiki practices (I did change my username again after all)—but a deletion discussion framed like this implies that a contributor was wholly incorrect for making a wrong template and puts ''all'' of their work ''collectively'' in a negative light. If we still fundamentally disagreed after a few discussion comments, I'd have no problem with a PD discussion after the fact, because the disagreement after full understanding in both parties would justify that more. But more likely, I would improve the approach per your suggestions and make the requested changes to existing works. Plus it'd be nice to catch up once in a while. Let's talk instead of debate...unless we have to. Happy editing! [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema|talk]]) 16:41, 24 April 2024 (UTC) :Nice to hear from you, ol' FakeHead. Yes, of course I didn't mean to offend or hurt feelings or what have you and I did not want to make you feel personally attacked or criticized. re: your workflow, I recall that yesterday, I happened to see [https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Page:Spider_Boy_(1928).pdf/17&diff=prev&oldid=14122183 this mistaken use] of {{tl|sc}} and I thought to myself several hours later, "I wonder if that work has other pages like that with errant small caps?" and looked at the index to see that I was shocked that it had been fully transcribed. I poked around several pages and saw that it was well done, too (but I didn't validate any pages--I was a little too busy for that). The only shortcoming I saw, which is admittedly pretty trivial, is that the footers are lacking "<nowiki>{{C|[{{old style|</nowiki><var>x</var><nowiki>]}}</nowiki> for page numbers, but I was again too busy to bother with that.

Medieval Europe did not have a fixed system of naming as we as used to having today. Rather, individuals had a given name, but were recorded with whatever description might be needed as circumstances called for it. So, for example, Leonardo da Vinci ("Leonardo, from Vinci") was usually enough to tell you ''which'' Leonardo someone was talking about, even though "da Vinci" was not actually part of his name. His "full name" was simply "Leonardo". When treating with names before about 1500, the issue is more often: "Which form of the name is used most often in modern scholarship?" than "What is the ''full'' name?" --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 00:11, 4 February 2017 (UTC) :::{{Ping|EncycloPetey}} For names in the form "de/du/d' [Place]" I've left them if the person's name is too simple but moved them if the name is otherwise complete.

In this case, the intended usage (and what the docs use in examples to encourage users to use that) is the alias {{tlx|rvh}}. The base template was named as it was because there is a semantic difference between a hyphen and an em-dash: the former denotes a range where the latter denotes a disjoint or contrast.

I am not very tech minded and have been stalled by the challenge. I would like to proofread [[The_Autobiography_of_a_Catholic_Anarchist]]. I am working on a Project Gutenberg [[User:Zoeannl/PG_Proofreaders_Guidelines|Proofreading guide]], do you mind if I proofread according to this standard? e.g. [[Page:The_Autobiography_of_a_Catholic_Anarchist.djvu/1]] Have you any thoughts on alternative ways to format annotated texts? It would seem quite easy to link your notes to the original WS page scans? The other example I have found is [[b:Annotations_to_James_Joyce%27s_Ulysses/Telemachus/003|Annotations to Ulysses]] which has the original text included. I hope you still have interest in this project, Cheers, [[User:Zoeannl|Zoeannl]] ([[User talk:Zoeannl|talk]]) 02:46, 18 November 2021 (UTC) :{{Ping|Zoeannl}} I could not be more happy that you wrote me. As you can see from my edit history, I've recently been working on [[What_to_the_Slave_Is_the_Fourth_of_July%3F_(annotated)]] and that lead me to take a look at other annotated editions to see how they are done. We have very few here and in spite of that, there is no one way to do them. I have chosen a certain style on the work I just linked because I like a mix of inline links, citations, and annotations as being separate things that mean something different. E.g. I may include an inline link to Wiktionary for a word that is obscure, a reference for something that is cited (like a Bible passage or quoting Shakespeare), and an annotation for anything else that is unclear or could use some context. :I'm assuming that you've already seen [[Wikisource:Annotations]] but if not, I recommend it. For a unique way to do it, I'd recommend taking a look at [[Strivings of the Negro People]] and [[Strivings of the Negro People/Annotated]]. The nice thing about the way this is done is that there is just one text and it is transcluded into another page with new content in it. So there is no need to proofread twice or copy and paste changes to the original over and over again, etc. I would recommend you maybe consider this format because it could save you some time. If that method seems confusing or weird at first, let me know and I'd be happy to help you. :Real treat to hear from you and to see someone else interested in annotations and the work that I started ''years'' ago and have yet to finish. I'm happy for you to edit according to any standard that you think is appropriate: note that I've also added in an edit after yours to [[Page:The_Autobiography_of_a_Catholic_Anarchist.djvu/1]]: it's a collaborative effort. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 06:12, 18 November 2021 (UTC) == Transferring Index Files Deleted from Commons == As a more experienced user, and with reference to [[WS:H#Transferring Index Files Deleted from Commons|this help request]], can you help with transferring the two files mentioned at that help request section from Commons to here under {{tl|PD-EdictGov}}?

Almost all of the edits I make to Wikisource are the product of a large software project I've been working tirelessly on for almost a year, and that will take many more years to fully perfect. I'm working on ways to streamline the proofreading process and make it faster, easier, more effective, and cleaner. I try and keep it as close to best practices as possible. The editing process I'm using right now is entirely a power-user thing, but due to my observations and feedback about Wikisource's editing challenges through this very technology, the frontend (ProofreadPage itself, our local handling of Wikidata work/version data, and the transclusion process) is finally seeing some badly-needed improvements being realized over time, thanks especially to the genius work of CalendulaAsteraceae in this area. I spend almost all of my extra time every day transcribing old books and movies for Wikisource; it's an interest I take very seriously...perhaps too seriously, but that's another story. The line between an addiction and just life is not so distinct online I guess... If there is an issue with some of the software and templates I develop for transcriptions, it might be better to ask me about it individually before starting a Proposed deletion, because likelihood is I will not even disagree with your feelings on the approach... In this particular case, there happened to be a better alternative that I didn't think of at the time I developed the individual-template model with auxTOCs, and it took your nudge to remind me to look for an improvement. And go figure, today's improvement actually worked! That's something I wasn't expecting, what a miracle... I'd consider that a huge win, and I partially have you to thank for that. But anyway, I'd ask that you give me personal feedback and if it's something I should fix I will, or at least we could come up with some kind of compromise. I don't want a technical issue—15,000 lines of code and 4 hours of transcription with no breaks later—to be framed as "you failed, SnowyCinema!!! Shame on you! Delete!" That probably wasn't how you intended it to come across—you probably weren't aware of the large scope of this operation and maybe just assumed I was a new user unaware of general wiki practices (I did change my username again after all)—but a deletion discussion framed like this implies that a contributor was wholly incorrect for making a wrong template and puts ''all'' of their work ''collectively'' in a negative light. If we still fundamentally disagreed after a few discussion comments, I'd have no problem with a PD discussion after the fact, because the disagreement after full understanding in both parties would justify that more. But more likely, I would improve the approach per your suggestions and make the requested changes to existing works. Plus it'd be nice to catch up once in a while. Let's talk instead of debate...unless we have to. Happy editing! [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema|talk]]) 16:41, 24 April 2024 (UTC) :Nice to hear from you, ol' FakeHead.

He has since claimed that he didn't even know he used rollback, which is its own kind of concern, but you are correct that he could actually just be confused and not paying attention instead of actively dissimulating. I have just seen this before when EP does something inscrutable and inappropriate and then feigns ignorance of what is happening or just refuses to explain his own behavior and why he did what he did, so it strains credulity that his explanations are legitimate and that he didn't just do what I supposed. He has done this before where he just deflects answering the simplest question, keeps on harassing me about nonsense, and then goes on about his day, occasionally coming back to my talk page to post more tangential nonsense and never answering the question that was asked, so I am personally tired of that inappropriateness.

Some, whoever they are, bring in works for others to do and the work-load adds up. Too, if the texts are brought in and left for others, then others may not like the topic so the work load keeps building up. It would be nice to know [who] likes what to work on. *I* like history and specifically illustrated history* but not children’s books or poems. I have several more volumes to do and more I want to do after that. This way I work on what I brought in, or have another bring in because he/they like the same kind of work.

In November, 1804, Mr. Monroe, then at London, was ordered to Madrid. He passed through Paris to invoke the co-operation of Napoleon, but was coldly received. He somewhat defiantly took his departure for Madrid, which place he reached January 2d, and left May 26, 1805, having accomplished nothing. As yet, there seemed nothing to indicate danger to America. Before the close of the year, however, the war cloud of Europe burst, and events took a turn which rendered American relations precarious beyond all human foresight. The wonderful achievements of Napoleon caused European politics to vary with the rapidity and novelty of the shifting views of the kaleidoscope, leaving only one thing in Europe permanent—"the naval supremacy of Great Britain." While adhering to the hope of wresting Florida from the necessities of Spain and France, Jefferson found his negotiations complicated with questions growing out of foreign hostility to the rapid development of the American merchant marine. Unexpectedly thrown on the defensive, his efforts must be directed to thwart the hostility of Great Britain against American trade, and his diplomacy must be adapted to meet the fleeting conditions of European politics; looking now to Spain, and again to France, and again to Great Britain. In the autumn of 1805 two great events disconcerted the policy of America as well as the relations of Europe. October 21st, the naval victory of Trafalgar confirmed Great Britain's supremacy on the ocean. December 2d, Austerlitz made Napoleon dictator of continental Europe, shattered the combinations of Pitt and caused his premature death. Both of these events were adverse to American interests. Napoleon had applied the purchase money of Louisiana to building a navy.

Technically a minus-sign is a different character, but the hyphen is generally used in general texts. There are two forms of dashes: the en-dash (–), used to separate ranges; and the em-dash (—), used to indicate a break in thought. It is our policy that page names only use a hyphen, even when an en-dash is correct, which is what I was adjusting, as I accidentally used the en-dash before and after the pipe, instead of after only.

[[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle#top|talk]]) 03:56, 6 October 2021 (UTC) :@[[User:Languageseeker|Languageseeker]]: Also, all scan-backed pages automatically get a link to the relevant Index: page through the "Source" page tab at the top of the page. To the degree we have a need to technically differentiate further (which I am not necessarily convinced of) we need to look at other methods; and a principle for any template-based tagging would be that we tag the pages that are a "problem"—the non-scan-backed ones—and not the ones that are actually up to current standards.

I found at least two songbooks and uploaded them here and added the needs score template. I tried to proof the words, but I did not and still do not know what form would be best for the software and and person applying the software to the words would be. It is easier for me to believe that a person would be not musical, yet interested in music than a person being interested in math but not mathy. The subjects are similar, very similar from what little I know of music and its notation, but they don't map onto the world and its inhabitant the same way. And further, I have an aversion to GUILE, Lisp and my first online experience with scripting language howtos was something like "Script-fu in one Unfun". I was going to install lilypond and when I saw it required guile, I considered removing my eyeballs so they could roll in a bigger circle. I used to think it was the curly brackets, but I am here and templates require three on each side, so it isn't that. Maybe it is a learned bias, although, some of my snobberies are there to keep me from doing too much. So, this is a rant, and it is mostly about how undeserving of ranting I am. 55 needs math templates and the person isn't proofing the pages, just smacking the template on them. But I can't rant because I basically did that also. The image software has a script-fu server running at all times. I remember a kindly person hinting about the file chooser also. So, no need to reply, I am unloading, in an I'm sorry sort of way. And in other conversations https://dev.w3.org/html5/html-author/charref says that &amp;hyphen == &amp;dash and I say that I appreciate that you use hyphen as its name since there is a whole dash family. I downloaded that page and sent it to my ereader and none of it displayed. None!!!

My interests include: NZ Women (biographies and other material esp in relation to suffrage),Children's literature, NZ law. Thanks [[User:Noracrentiss|Noracrentiss]] ([[User talk:Noracrentiss|talk]]) 08:23, 6 April 2022 (UTC) :{{ping|Noracrentiss}} A validation task that would be useful is to go through some of the laws listed at [[Portal:Royal Society of New Zealand]]. Validation is being a second pair of eyes on the text. Did the proofreader (me) get all the spellings and punctuation correct? There's no need to worry about the layout for these, as that's already dealt with. To get to the scans to verify against, click on the "Source" button along the top above the page header. That will take you to the Index: page. From there you can click on any yellow page in the pagelist and then verify the text side-by-side with the scan. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle#top|talk]]) 09:16, 6 April 2022 (UTC) :{{ping|Beeswaxcandle}} I have reviewed the [[Royal Society of New Zealand Act 1997|Royal Society of New Zealand Act]] and "Validated" all but 4 pages where I corrected some minor typos. I left these pages as unvalidated as I assume someone will need to check that my corrections are in fact correct. I forgot to put a note about what I had changed on the first page but think I remembered to do it on the other 3 pages. I wasn't sure if this is the correct procedure. so will hold off doing any more validation until I get confirmation (or otherwise) about whether or not I'm on the right track. (And as an aside, my reason for choosing this particular Act to do first is that when I worked for MORST (MBIE's predecessor), I was involved in "shepherding" this actual Act through Parliament. ) ::{{ping|Noracrentiss}} It's fine to mark corrected pages as Validated—particularly if the corrections are minor. It's only when I've had to make major changes, like a complete re-do that I leave it as Proofread. Your aside is a big part of what makes doing this stuff so interesting. I'm working on tracking down some material on NZ suffrage. I was hoping to find some materials via ''Eliza & the White Camellia'' that was published for the 125th anniversary of 1893, (Eliza was my great-great-grandmother.) but there's no bibliography.

Thanks. :{{ping|BluePrawn}} My preference is to allow readers to select their desired layout rather than force it on them, so I am not the one to ask how to force it. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle#top|talk]]) 06:34, 27 April 2022 (UTC) :: I can understand your point of view, it's true that different people can have different taste, but it's not true that if someone prefer the other layout he/she can get it, there's no css switcher on wikisource to select different layout, the maximum someone can do is reduce the browser window width, and then the text will still stay very close to the left menu which is disturbing to read the content, and the text will not be justified. Most people probably prefer justified text in books, because I've never seen even a single book where the text is not justified. I also think that we have several centuries of experience about how to make a good layout for novel books, they almost always have about something similar because this is what is the easier to read for everyone ; if really a lot of reader would like different layout for books we would find in book shops a lot of different kind of book presentation. But I still share your opinion about not force a presentation, in the example I gave the width of the text is expressed in fixed pixel in the css instead of percentage of the window, which is personally what I prefer, but for the one I helped on the English wikisource it would still be nice to add some padding on the left and right which would not force anything while the reader will still be able to resize his window to change the width of the text. Anyway it's only a small detail and a minor issue, still thanks for your answer :) == West Coast Task Force == The West Coast Task Force [[Wikisource:West Coast Task Force|project page]] is growing, as we now have a paid person at Grey District Library scanning regularly, and have received a little grant money.

The Greek is part of the quotation from the Bible. Quotations from the Bible (and from other books) are what is italicized in Matthew Henry. The Greek letters are slanted in the page image. Therefore I don't see a problem with them being italicized. This is what I've done before on other pages. Matthew Henry frequently has bilingual quotations - e.g. a Latin and its English equivalent, both in italics. [[User:PeterR2|PeterR2]] ([[User talk:PeterR2|talk]]) 09:54, 22 September 2022 (UTC) :Standard print convention is that words and phrases that are normally italicised are put into roman if they occur in an italicised section of text. ''i.e.'' they're always the opposite of the surrounding text. This was the intent of my comment. However, here at enWS we don't normally italicise Greek anyway. Instead we use the marking templates. These both mark the text as being in the language and use a special Greek font that is more readable than the Greek letters in the standard fonts. Italicising characters that are not standard Roman glyphs doesn't really make sense. The purpose of italicising is to provide emphasis. The fact that a different alphabet is being used is already emphasis enough. In Henry's work, the Greek just looks italicised because that's the nature of the font the publisher has used. There are similar issues in Cyrillic and Hebrew (and Indic) texts.

[[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise|talk]]) 09:07, 3 December 2022 (UTC) :It's not "incorrectly formatted". It's a simple, elegant table. It is not required to reproduce dot-leaders here—particularly where the page number is not the link. The dot-leader templates are problematic in their implementation and I ceased using them in late March 2013. Additionally, dot-leaders have neither a practical nor an ornamental function in an e-presentation of a book. We are not confined to the printed page here and far too much time is spend by some editors in attempting to reproduce the artefacts of the printers' workarounds to make things fit within the boundaries of a piece of paper, or to look good on that same size of paper. Does it look good on a small phone screen ''and'' on a 15″ laptop screen? If so, that's all we need to do. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle#top|talk]]) 17:40, 3 December 2022 (UTC) == yet another music book == This book is stalled at pg. I have been wanting to ask you to consider doing it, well, since I learned that you are the goto person for this. It is not the usual song book, it is bird song put to notes: [[:File:Field book of wild birds and their music (IA fieldbookofwildb00math).pdf]]. Probably you know this, but a word of warning is due. Birds that vocalize are called "song birds". So this is not just a book of beautiful tweets and shrills. For example, my favorite when I saw it because even without knowing how to read music, I knew it to be true is the Flicker, pg 23/79 https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3AField_book_of_wild_birds_and_their_music_(IA_fieldbookofwildb00math).pdf&page=79 Also, while flipping around for that, I noticed what is probably a very dorky song about a cuckoo and a cherry tree, but most of it is bird song! When I found this, it was my first hands-on with half-tone images. I have recovered from the ''indignation'' and the ''appalled'' and can dig out what I did or redo them (the plates). Also, I will proof them and not put indentations in it and I might be able to get some help to proof it (which will be better than me, for sure!) -- however much or little you would like me to do, you being the resident artist and me being the fan and the wanna be and wanna have and the music illiterate. I really did not want to bother you, I know you have a backlog of your own projects and probably those for others as well, but recent encouragement has come my way that perhaps you are bored and maybe will be open to this new book. Ever hopefully--[[User:RaboKarbakian|RaboKarbakian]] ([[User talk:RaboKarbakian|talk]]) 17:30, 7 December 2022 (UTC) :I know I have a similar project for NZ bird song coming my way, which I would prefer to work on as a proof of concept before tackling something the size of this work.

[[User:Oronsay|Oronsay]] ([[User talk:Oronsay|talk]]) 01:27, 27 December 2022 (UTC) :{{ping|Oronsay}} I've done what I do with these. What I've done in each column is find the widest word and then put a {{tl|gap}} at the end of it to force the next column to start across a bit more. For the definitions, I've just set as a single column rather than messing around with balancing, which means we don't need to worry about the centre line. Because the font is smaller on the printed page, I've also reduced it to 92%—which is a distinguishable size without getting too small for the general reader. The next standard size down is 83% (or smaller), but I don't think we need to do that in this book.

Additionally, two of the works had the same author, which is listed in the instructions as something to never have in the active part template at the same time.

[[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise|talk]]) 11:27, 27 September 2023 (UTC) == Score for Yeats == I've nearly finished [[Index:Sophocles' King Oedipus.pdf]]. This is a key English translation and publication by Irish dramatist W. B. Yeats. This is ''the'' translation that was made into an art film with a young William Shatner in the chorus, which in turn was ''the'' film that inspired Tom Lehrer's song "Oedipus Rex". But I will need assistance stitching together the musical portions (pp. 55 to 61). If you can assist with this, so that the pages are Proofread, it would be much appreciated. '''Things to note:''' # There are five Choruses, each of which spans more than one page. I do not know whether our score tags can handle page-spanning pieces, and would not be surprised if we had to "move" musical portions to condense each Chorus to a single page. I haven't had to do this before. On the plus side, there is a single melody line and (mostly) single vocal text line for each Chorus. But this isn't a situation I've dealt with before, so I don't know how we would accomplish this best. # I have never before had to deal with a key signature or time signature change mid-piece, so rather than try to kludge them together, I transcribed each separately. I put each melody line and each vocal line on separate lines to match the line breaks in the original for ease of proofreading / troubleshooting. # The "Second Chorus" (pp.67 to 68) is the only piece with '''simultaneous''' vocal text, though only a few words in total. I could not find an example of how to do this that made sense, since the rhythm also differs between the two "words" that are simultaneous, so the few second line words have been placed into the footer. I need help inserting the parallel words into those three situations. # The prefatory material suggests a particular range/timbre for each voice, so if it can be done without much grief, I'd like to be able to set a different sound for each of the different sections (Leader, 2nd Voice, 3rd Voice, All). These changes happen mid-piece, sometimes more than once, and I do not know if this can even be done. But indicating the change of "voice" to the listener by invoking a different instrumental sound would be useful to do. If this can be done, I would also need information about what options exist. if it cannot be done, that's fine. '''But:''' even if it can be done, I'd like to know what timbre/instrument options exist '''before''' you go to the trouble. There may not be meaningful or sonorous options, in which case, it would not be worth the trouble.

In many prose works, collapsing the space has no effect on the text, and is fine. But in some works with dialogue, the space is intentional and required. I can think of two such categories where it should be preserved: (1) The spacing is used to present a dialectical form of English. Such situations can be spotted where some character's dialogue includes the spaces, but other character's dialogue does not, or where lots of additional contractions appear, and it is clear that the additional apostrophes and additional spacing is intentional. (2) Poetical works where replacing text like '''{{'}}t was''' with '''{{'}}twas''' would change the rhythm of the lines.

But {{tqi|"… did n’t …"}} and {{tqi|"… could n’t …"}} and similar are mostly going to be an artefact of printing that can be silently corrected.

That's a huge effort, and I hope it goes well for you. Feel free to link the audiobook files when you're done. I'll also fix the transclusion soon, to reflect it being a short story collection (due to my previous error to do this). :: I did a few other works by [[Author:Anna Fuller|Anna Fuller]] by the way, but I stopped with her when I discovered that one of them repeated vignettes from other works, and within themselves. The coding logic of it therefore got complicated for me. I believe the work in question was ''One of the Pilgrims''. :: Let's agree to disagree on {{tl|hinc}} for now. I thought it necessary to mark it, in fact I thought of it as an added spice of technical artistry, something most editors wouldn't do, but that I have the means to. Every time there are hyphenation inconsistencies in a work I do, I get a list of them that the processing program I use automatically finds, and that I check up on manually. One reason I do this is because it's also the source of a common Wikisource proofreading typo as well, where a word is supposed to be hyphenated, but the OCR doesn't fix this because "–" is at the end of a line so not treated like a real hyphen. So, another reason I mark the real ones with {{tl|hinc}} is to remind me (and potentially other editors) that the inconsistency is legitimate, and that it's not due to an incorrect insertion or deletion of a hyphen by OCR proofreading. :: Another rationale is that in print, it was nearly impossible for typists and editors to catch all these variations, in any book. After all, there was no Find and Replace. But, since we have digital processing tools, it's not only possible but can be easy for us today. So I would almost consider the inconsistencies under the purview of "technical limitations of print", and not legitimate use of a variation, but it's impossible to prove its legitimacy, so I just wanted to mark it as "inconsistent" rather than as a typo. I always think to myself, "gee, they must have fired their intern and went with somebody else," every time for example the word "Phœbe" is changed to "Phoebe" after Chapter 6 in a novel (and that I would ''unambiguously'' consider a typo). :: I thought marking it would be nice, but I didn't expect people would find it intrusive. One UX compromise might be for a tooltip not to be displayed in certain instances, such as when the inconsistencies appear hundreds of pages apart, but accept the tooltip version if they appear in the same chapter or section or especially page. The idea is that it could be marked just so people, or programs, know it's there. Although in this instance, it's fair to say that, since Fuller's work is a short story collection with subworks taken from various sources, this might be a grey area. :: Anyway, thanks for considering what I had to say about it, and good luck.

One of my ongoing contributions here is the Stratemeyer Syndicate books. Their methods of writing, editing, and publishing were "conveyor belt", which resulted in some pretty bad production values on some of the books—even the more popular ones.

We know because the people involved had idiosyncrasies like those discussed here, so we can identify where those occur and assign the plays to a compositor (often down to the individual page). In fact, there are multiple people who have made their careers and academic reputation on just such studies, and there are entire massive monographs published on the topic. That they fired their intern after chapter 6 is actually significant information.{{pbr}}That being said, I agree with Beeswaxcandle: how seriously (strictly) to take this depends somewhat on the text. For one-penny pulps the leeway for laziness (pick a style, stick to it) is much greater (counter-example: Lovecraft), getting increasingly strict on a scale that terminates at scholarly monographs and transcriptions of the actual First Folio. But when we're at the First Folio, the Folger maintains a catalogue of surviving copies with enough detail to distinguish individual copies (in one case they identified the multiple sources for a Frankenstein copy) based on both physical characteristics (stains etc.) and quirks of the changing compositors.{{pbr}}PS. {{tl|SIC}} has always been slightly controversial as an annotation, and several editors insist on using {{tl|sic}} instead for all typos. I personally think we should consolidate the two and explicitly allow {{tl|SIC}} as a ''permissible'' annotation, but, in any case, any new template mimicking {{tl|SIC}} (vs. {{tl|sic}}) has the policy presumption against it. I am not at all sure I would support visually tagging inconsistent hyphenation (or any other mere inconsistency) as a sufficient reason for such annotation. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 08:55, 21 January 2024 (UTC) :::: {{ping|Xover}} Gee, we really consider that ''annotation''? I never thought a tooltip would count as an annotation, since it can't be seen unless you hover over it, and doesn't get included in the copy-paste text. But the fact that you can't see it on mobile devices when you hover over it <s>makes me hate smartphones even more</s> is unfortunate and I agree that that's really annoying... :::: My personal philosophy on SIC is to use it when they have a typo that's either 1. unambiguously recognizable as a typo (even in the context of their own time period, eliminating the form simply from being obsolete or archaic), or 2. if it's a typo, ''and'' inconsistent with other parts of the text using the same word. Which is where hyphenation inconsistencies come in. Since, I think inconsistencies are more recognizable to me as erroneous, especially if it occurs on the same chapter or page. I admit it might seem a lot more like fussing over nooks and crannies if we're talking about the inconsistencies being hundreds of pages and ten chapters apart from one another (but I still think they should be ''somehow'' noted in any case, at least for editors who might try to change them). But if they're on the same page or in the same chapter, this is something that people would immediately notice if they had any kind of eye for detail while reading, so I think at least this should be noted. If you have 5 "gunshots" and 1 "gun-shot" on a single page (which I've actually seen happen before), then the 1 "gun-shot" was clearly wrong anyway. :::: I think our technology to mark typos is a beautiful thing personally, and perhaps to your surprise, I'd even go far as to say it's one of my favorite parts of the project. (I'm the type of person who loves intricate detail, that's probably why.) Because it's just one more thing that sets us apart from other projects like Gutenberg, and it gives readers one more bit of contextual understanding. So I would be against removing our technology for marking inconsistencies and typos, since without them it'd be harder to actually get this understanding. And it (to me) seems very unintrusive, because instead of removing the typo outright, we opt to remain true to the original text while leaving in a note that doesn't actually alter the text in any way (which is why I am skeptical to the degree of "annotation" that it is). And since what can and can't be considered a typo is I'm sure the subject of many a heated debate even among scholars, it's easier to remove the typo ''marking template'', which just notes a typo, than to remove a typo ''correction'', which is harder for a proofreader to spot in the first place. :::: Maybe a solution for the "mobile devices" problem is to disable the tooltip specifically in exports and on mobile views, since they don't really work right in those cases. And all you see is a bit of underlining. That should be possible to do with CSS/Lua...I think. (Or maybe we can just complain to Apple, Amazon, and Google. I'm sure ''they'd'' listen to us.) [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema|talk]]) 11:53, 21 January 2024 (UTC) :::: {{comment}} The other idea I had for noting these "inconsistencies" and typoes is with a template that's placed on the page but not necessarily visible outside the wikitext editor. But, we can make a module for the Header template and/or Index that includes a collapsible "Errata" template that lists all the typos (hey, and it's also kind of an homage to the old texts we love so much, since they also used to do this). It's apparently harder and more resource-intensive to get Lua to actually go and read wiki pages than it is to collect data from Wikidata, but still ''technically'' possible.

I'm having a little trouble finding what I'm looking for in the help pages. I found the book I wanted to transcribe for Wikisource already existed on Wikimedia Commons, and used that. The proofreading and formatting is nearly done (just some validation left), but over the last couple of weeks, as I've become better acquainted with Wikisource, I've become increasingly convinced that the title of the file, and consequently the index page and all of the individual pages, are less than ideal. The book is called ''Base-Ball Ballads'', and there don't seem to be any other works by this title, or any files on Commons besides the book, and the illustrations from it that I recently uploaded. So ideally, that would be the title on Wikisource—I think. But instead, the title is "Base-ball ballads (IA baseballballads00rice)". So my questions are: can I change the title to just "Base-Ball Ballads" (with proper capitalization, and without "(IA baseballballads00rice)")? If so, should I move the file on Commons, then come to Wikisource and move the index page, and all of the individual pages separately? Or is there a shortcut for doing this? What will I break if I attempt to do this? I assume that in future, it would be better to move the source text before adding it to Wikisource—but being new to Wikisource, I wasn't sure I should do that, or what typical naming conventions here were. I just wanted to get started on something, since the process was so different than editing articles on Wikipedia, and I thought I would absorb the material better by learning as I went. I didn't even realize that the text was already available until I was trying to figure out how to import it from Internet Archive. I apologize if this is all too complicated to expect an answer for, but thanks in advance for any advice you can give me! [[User:P Aculeius|P Aculeius]] ([[User talk:P Aculeius|talk]]) 20:51, 16 June 2024 (UTC) :Sorry for delay in replying—RL is getting in the way a lot at present. The title in the Mainspace here should be "Base-ball Ballads". The Index and the pages are the back-end and the title there is not important. We've got Indexes with much more arcane names, but they come through to the Mainspace with sensible titles.

[[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle#top|talk]]) 08:12, 19 June 2024 (UTC) ::Ah, okay! Then I just need to wait for the rest of the pages to be validated before moving to mainspace. Well, there might be another issue, but I think I know how to deal with it—I just need someone to tell me if I understand the situation correctly, and I don't want to keep posting on the Scriptorium ATM, as I feel like I'm becoming a bit of a nuisance not understanding how to do things right! ::As I was transcribing the book, I saw a lot of archaic slang—words no longer in widespread use, or used with meanings that readers probably wouldn't expect, as well as lots of allusions to 19th and early 20th century ballplayers who (unlike Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, or Christy Mathewson, also mentioned numerous times) are no longer familiar even to many fans of baseball history. I looked for guidance on annotating these things, and after some searching found the <nowiki>{{user annotation}}</nowiki> template and documentation, and using that provided annotations in the footer, all marked as user annotations. However, when I asked about illustrations (for another project) at the Scriptorium, I was linked to a policy page that appears to say that no annotations should be added to a work until an unannotated version has been published, and then only as a separate annotated version. ::Confusing matters more, one guideline appears to say that annotations in the ''header'' don't count—I assume that this means "header or footer", as I can't recall ever seeing annotations in a header, while elsewhere in the help topics "header" is used to mean "header and footer"—while another page seems to say that annotations are acceptable on Wikisource, without mentioning separate editions, and somewhere I found guidance saying that terms could be linked, e.g. to Wiktionary (although in this case, the slang terms often lack the correct definitions there). I had been linking the names of the ballplayers to their articles in Wikipedia, with brief descriptions of them or why they were mentioned in the poems, in the footer annotations. ::Just when I was about to start deleting the annotations I'd spent a lot of time on—actually as much time as typing the original text of the poems—on the theory that I could retrieve them from the page history for a separate annotated edition later, I realized that the guidance about annotations on different policy pages and help topics was contradictory and confusing, and it would be better to make sure I needed to delete them before doing so. Can you offer any advice concerning the different guidelines—if indeed they are contradictory—and what I should do with the annotations that I made? [[User:P Aculeius|P Aculeius]] ([[User talk:P Aculeius|talk]]) 13:57, 19 June 2024 (UTC) :::There's no need to wait for complete validation before transcluding sections/chapters or a work.

The guideline on annotations in the header is about the notes field in the header template that is on every Mainspace page.{{pbr}}For the links to to Wikipedia, these are acceptable provided that they are not interpretative. If the people mentioned have authored anything, then the link should be to their Author: page rather than to Wikipedia—even if we don't host what they've written.

Certainly doable, but even so, then I will have to research how to create a second index page for the annotated version—and that brings me back to the first question, because if that can be done, then it should be possible to duplicate the index as it currently stands (even if moved to a user subpage), then scrub the annotations from the first version to transclude into mainspace.

If you have a more stable way of solving the reported 'fostered content' please explain it to me, so I don't have to waste my time, fixing tiems that according to your reasoning were 'pointless' or not broken. [[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] ([[User talk:ShakespeareFan00|talk]]) 08:56, 5 July 2024 (UTC) :I haven't a clue what you mean by "fostered content" or for that matter "linter". The pages in question were transcluding correctly and efficiently into the Mainspace before your edits and therefore fiddling with them is pointless. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle#top|talk]]) 09:22, 5 July 2024 (UTC) ::The "linter" is a technical check built into MediaWiki that checks for various issues that ''may'' cause problems and which merits closer scrutiny by a human being. The checks are highly technical, and have been roundly criticised as being of rather poor utility. You can see the functionality in action on [[Special:LintErrors]]. Nothing flagged by the linter should be assumed to be something that must be "fixed", and certainly not urgently. It should, however, be checked by a human at some point and a decision made on whether or not it is something that needs some form of change (typically based on its potential to cause problems in the future). ShakespeareFan keeps running into trouble here because they have a tendency to treat the issues reported by the linter as 1) urgent, and 2) a backlog that should be reduced to 0. Neither of which is true, and so they tend to get rather harshly frustrated pushback from other contributors (not all of it deserved).{{pbr}}"Fostered content" is a concept from the HTML standards, applicable mostly to tables. The most common example is when a table cell is placed ''outside'' a table row. Table cells are ''required'' to be within a table row, so such cells are considered "orphan" elements. So to deal with these the standard specifies a "fostering algorithm" (i.e. make certain assumptions about where the cell was ''intended'' to be), and thus such content is considered "fostered content". Elements that are fostered can be a problem even if it currently ''looks'' ok, so instances of it should be checked. The problem is that the way we do multi-page transclusions we often have a table cell and other content that spans several wikipages. That is, in the Page: namespace we have HTML ''fragments'' not complete HTML ''pages'', that do not get turned into complete HTML pages until the content is transcluded. This alone causes a lot of false positives. In addition, our use of the header and footer field (and other noinclude-shenanigans), makes this difficult for tools like the linter because only Proofread Page really knows about these tricks. In some scenarios this causes yet more false positives.

The 2010 toolbar consumes the full width of the editing text box + the scan image. Even if the toolbar isn't there, those two components will still take up the same amount of horizontal space. So horizontally I don't see how it makes any difference. Vertically it does sit above the text box and scan image, while the 2006 toolbar lives (IIRC) inside the text box. The 2010 toolbar also has a lot more functions that will tend to make it taller, especially if its subsections are expanded (the built-in character picker is particularly egregious here). But even considering those two factors it's not really a lot of pixels difference between the two vertically, especially compared to all the other UI elements involved. The inconsistent position of the charinsert character picker sounds more like a bug, so when I have time I'll look into that and will probably have some questions for you then.

I looked at it and looked at it. Then again and some more. Now, I have a question. Is the little line that has a dedicated key on most english keyboards a dash or a hyphen? LaTeX thinks it is a minus sign, which is, lord knows, fine by me. Thank you for your time (and talk space)in settling my somewhat stupified state.--[[User:RaboKarbakian|RaboKarbakian]] ([[User talk:RaboKarbakian|talk]]) 00:07, 25 September 2021 (UTC) :The key on the keyboard produces a hyphen. Technically a minus-sign is a different character, but the hyphen is generally used in general texts. There are two forms of dashes: the en-dash (–), used to separate ranges; and the em-dash (—), used to indicate a break in thought. It is our policy that page names only use a hyphen, even when an en-dash is correct, which is what I was adjusting, as I accidentally used the en-dash before and after the pipe, instead of after only. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle#top|talk]]) 00:29, 25 September 2021 (UTC) ::Thank you so much.

Do you know where I can find the rules governing the usage of {{tl|scan}} ?[[User:Languageseeker|Languageseeker]] ([[User talk:Languageseeker|talk]]) 03:25, 6 October 2021 (UTC) :The backend arcana of Index: and Page: spaces should (mostly) be transparent to the normal reader.

[[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle#top|talk]]) 03:56, 6 October 2021 (UTC) :@[[User:Languageseeker|Languageseeker]]: Also, all scan-backed pages automatically get a link to the relevant Index: page through the "Source" page tab at the top of the page. To the degree we have a need to technically differentiate further (which I am not necessarily convinced of) we need to look at other methods; and a principle for any template-based tagging would be that we tag the pages that are a "problem"—the non-scan-backed ones—and not the ones that are actually up to current standards. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 09:56, 6 October 2021 (UTC) :: {{re|Xover}} Ok, I see that the ultimate goal is to present clean links on pages. However, I think that it's also helpful to easily visually distinguish scan-backed texts from non-scanned-backed texts. Would either of you support adding a template to tag non-scanned backed version, say with perhaps this icon [[file:Edit-delete-not encyclopedic2.svg|25px]]. Maybe call it, {{tl|noscan}}? [[User:Languageseeker|Languageseeker]] ([[User talk:Languageseeker|talk]]) 12:23, 6 October 2021 (UTC) ::: Once idea I had is to use the wikidata not proofread / proofread / validated icons (we could even pull them from wikidata).

I found at least two songbooks and uploaded them here and added the needs score template. I tried to proof the words, but I did not and still do not know what form would be best for the software and and person applying the software to the words would be. It is easier for me to believe that a person would be not musical, yet interested in music than a person being interested in math but not mathy. The subjects are similar, very similar from what little I know of music and its notation, but they don't map onto the world and its inhabitant the same way. And further, I have an aversion to GUILE, Lisp and my first online experience with scripting language howtos was something like "Script-fu in one Unfun". I was going to install lilypond and when I saw it required guile, I considered removing my eyeballs so they could roll in a bigger circle. I used to think it was the curly brackets, but I am here and templates require three on each side, so it isn't that. Maybe it is a learned bias, although, some of my snobberies are there to keep me from doing too much. So, this is a rant, and it is mostly about how undeserving of ranting I am. 55 needs math templates and the person isn't proofing the pages, just smacking the template on them. But I can't rant because I basically did that also. The image software has a script-fu server running at all times. I remember a kindly person hinting about the file chooser also. So, no need to reply, I am unloading, in an I'm sorry sort of way. And in other conversations https://dev.w3.org/html5/html-author/charref says that &amp;hyphen == &amp;dash and I say that I appreciate that you use hyphen as its name since there is a whole dash family. I downloaded that page and sent it to my ereader and none of it displayed. None!!!

The reason for doing the headers/footers in the Page: namespace is as an aid to navigation. Other editors here go to great lengths to match them exactly. My personal view is to replicate the content in an approximate form. However, I've found that battles are reduced if I strike a middle ground.

Validation is being a second pair of eyes on the text. Did the proofreader (me) get all the spellings and punctuation correct? There's no need to worry about the layout for these, as that's already dealt with. To get to the scans to verify against, click on the "Source" button along the top above the page header.

Most people probably prefer justified text in books, because I've never seen even a single book where the text is not justified. I also think that we have several centuries of experience about how to make a good layout for novel books, they almost always have about something similar because this is what is the easier to read for everyone ; if really a lot of reader would like different layout for books we would find in book shops a lot of different kind of book presentation. But I still share your opinion about not force a presentation, in the example I gave the width of the text is expressed in fixed pixel in the css instead of percentage of the window, which is personally what I prefer, but for the one I helped on the English wikisource it would still be nice to add some padding on the left and right which would not force anything while the reader will still be able to resize his window to change the width of the text.

The Greek is part of the quotation from the Bible. Quotations from the Bible (and from other books) are what is italicized in Matthew Henry. The Greek letters are slanted in the page image. Therefore I don't see a problem with them being italicized. This is what I've done before on other pages. Matthew Henry frequently has bilingual quotations - e.g. a Latin and its English equivalent, both in italics. [[User:PeterR2|PeterR2]] ([[User talk:PeterR2|talk]]) 09:54, 22 September 2022 (UTC) :Standard print convention is that words and phrases that are normally italicised are put into roman if they occur in an italicised section of text. ''i.e.'' they're always the opposite of the surrounding text. This was the intent of my comment. However, here at enWS we don't normally italicise Greek anyway. Instead we use the marking templates. These both mark the text as being in the language and use a special Greek font that is more readable than the Greek letters in the standard fonts. Italicising characters that are not standard Roman glyphs doesn't really make sense. The purpose of italicising is to provide emphasis. The fact that a different alphabet is being used is already emphasis enough. In Henry's work, the Greek just looks italicised because that's the nature of the font the publisher has used. There are similar issues in Cyrillic and Hebrew (and Indic) texts.

[[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise|talk]]) 09:07, 3 December 2022 (UTC) :It's not "incorrectly formatted". It's a simple, elegant table. It is not required to reproduce dot-leaders here—particularly where the page number is not the link. The dot-leader templates are problematic in their implementation and I ceased using them in late March 2013. Additionally, dot-leaders have neither a practical nor an ornamental function in an e-presentation of a book. We are not confined to the printed page here and far too much time is spend by some editors in attempting to reproduce the artefacts of the printers' workarounds to make things fit within the boundaries of a piece of paper, or to look good on that same size of paper. Does it look good on a small phone screen ''and'' on a 15″ laptop screen? If so, that's all we need to do. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle#top|talk]]) 17:40, 3 December 2022 (UTC) == yet another music book == This book is stalled at pg. I have been wanting to ask you to consider doing it, well, since I learned that you are the goto person for this. It is not the usual song book, it is bird song put to notes: [[:File:Field book of wild birds and their music (IA fieldbookofwildb00math).pdf]]. Probably you know this, but a word of warning is due. Birds that vocalize are called "song birds". So this is not just a book of beautiful tweets and shrills. For example, my favorite when I saw it because even without knowing how to read music, I knew it to be true is the Flicker, pg 23/79 https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3AField_book_of_wild_birds_and_their_music_(IA_fieldbookofwildb00math).pdf&page=79 Also, while flipping around for that, I noticed what is probably a very dorky song about a cuckoo and a cherry tree, but most of it is bird song! When I found this, it was my first hands-on with half-tone images. I have recovered from the ''indignation'' and the ''appalled'' and can dig out what I did or redo them (the plates). Also, I will proof them and not put indentations in it and I might be able to get some help to proof it (which will be better than me, for sure!) -- however much or little you would like me to do, you being the resident artist and me being the fan and the wanna be and wanna have and the music illiterate. I really did not want to bother you, I know you have a backlog of your own projects and probably those for others as well, but recent encouragement has come my way that perhaps you are bored and maybe will be open to this new book. Ever hopefully--[[User:RaboKarbakian|RaboKarbakian]] ([[User talk:RaboKarbakian|talk]]) 17:30, 7 December 2022 (UTC) :I know I have a similar project for NZ bird song coming my way, which I would prefer to work on as a proof of concept before tackling something the size of this work.

What I've done in each column is find the widest word and then put a {{tl|gap}} at the end of it to force the next column to start across a bit more. For the definitions, I've just set as a single column rather than messing around with balancing, which means we don't need to worry about the centre line. Because the font is smaller on the printed page, I've also reduced it to 92%—which is a distinguishable size without getting too small for the general reader. The next standard size down is 83% (or smaller), but I don't think we need to do that in this book.

[[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] ([[User talk:TE(æ)A,ea.|talk]]) 14:11, 13 January 2023 (UTC) :The point of the New Texts template is to showcase on the Main page the variety of works that we host and are actively working on. When the same title appears four times, in this case, as a block it diminishes that purpose. It also has the effect of pushing works off the Main page even more quickly than already happens. Additionally, two of the works had the same author, which is listed in the instructions as something to never have in the active part template at the same time. The four works looked like a series, so I chose the oldest one to remain active. I would also add that, if I hadn't adjusted the list, one of the others would have.

[[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise|talk]]) 11:27, 27 September 2023 (UTC) == Score for Yeats == I've nearly finished [[Index:Sophocles' King Oedipus.pdf]]. This is a key English translation and publication by Irish dramatist W. B. Yeats. This is ''the'' translation that was made into an art film with a young William Shatner in the chorus, which in turn was ''the'' film that inspired Tom Lehrer's song "Oedipus Rex". But I will need assistance stitching together the musical portions (pp. 55 to 61). If you can assist with this, so that the pages are Proofread, it would be much appreciated. '''Things to note:''' # There are five Choruses, each of which spans more than one page. I do not know whether our score tags can handle page-spanning pieces, and would not be surprised if we had to "move" musical portions to condense each Chorus to a single page. I haven't had to do this before. On the plus side, there is a single melody line and (mostly) single vocal text line for each Chorus. But this isn't a situation I've dealt with before, so I don't know how we would accomplish this best. # I have never before had to deal with a key signature or time signature change mid-piece, so rather than try to kludge them together, I transcribed each separately. I put each melody line and each vocal line on separate lines to match the line breaks in the original for ease of proofreading / troubleshooting. # The "Second Chorus" (pp.67 to 68) is the only piece with '''simultaneous''' vocal text, though only a few words in total. I could not find an example of how to do this that made sense, since the rhythm also differs between the two "words" that are simultaneous, so the few second line words have been placed into the footer. I need help inserting the parallel words into those three situations. # The prefatory material suggests a particular range/timbre for each voice, so if it can be done without much grief, I'd like to be able to set a different sound for each of the different sections (Leader, 2nd Voice, 3rd Voice, All). These changes happen mid-piece, sometimes more than once, and I do not know if this can even be done. But indicating the change of "voice" to the listener by invoking a different instrumental sound would be useful to do. If this can be done, I would also need information about what options exist. if it cannot be done, that's fine. '''But:''' even if it can be done, I'd like to know what timbre/instrument options exist '''before''' you go to the trouble. There may not be meaningful or sonorous options, in which case, it would not be worth the trouble. I have finished all but the last two pages of score, but expect to have that done either today or tomorrow.

It seems like most people do n't like replicating this with a physical space character, and say that we probably should n't leave them like this because they did n't have semantic meaning. Despite the clear views of [[User:Xover|Xover]] and Inductiveload against using a space, there doesn't seem to be any official policy or even guideline around this. And that discussion was no attempt at making such a policy. Maybe there should be one, though. I'm no expert in typesetting, but I don't like the spaces. I'd rather stay on the side of consistency and not respect that spacing convention, which is why I didn't.

In many prose works, collapsing the space has no effect on the text, and is fine. But in some works with dialogue, the space is intentional and required. I can think of two such categories where it should be preserved: (1) The spacing is used to present a dialectical form of English. Such situations can be spotted where some character's dialogue includes the spaces, but other character's dialogue does not, or where lots of additional contractions appear, and it is clear that the additional apostrophes and additional spacing is intentional. (2) Poetical works where replacing text like '''{{'}}t was''' with '''{{'}}twas''' would change the rhythm of the lines. The former is a two-syllable, two-word foot with stress on the second word; but the latter is a single stressed syllable. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 15:50, 19 January 2024 (UTC) :::{{tqi|"… ’t was …"}} and {{tqi|"… ’twas …"}} is probably mostly going to be deliberate, I think, and in something supposed to be speech-y (i.e. a character's speech, in play or prose, or in poetry) needs to be preserved. But {{tqi|"… did n’t …"}} and {{tqi|"… could n’t …"}} and similar are mostly going to be an artefact of printing that can be silently corrected. But the bottom line is that it's going to require judgement in each case, and possibly also discussions with other contributors if you're lucky enough that someone else is interested enough in the text to want to help out. I don't think this can have a bright-line policy beyond {{tqi|"… must be assessed case by case …"}}, nor even rules of thumb for specific variants.

That's a huge effort, and I hope it goes well for you. Feel free to link the audiobook files when you're done. I'll also fix the transclusion soon, to reflect it being a short story collection (due to my previous error to do this). :: I did a few other works by [[Author:Anna Fuller|Anna Fuller]] by the way, but I stopped with her when I discovered that one of them repeated vignettes from other works, and within themselves. The coding logic of it therefore got complicated for me. I believe the work in question was ''One of the Pilgrims''. :: Let's agree to disagree on {{tl|hinc}} for now. I thought it necessary to mark it, in fact I thought of it as an added spice of technical artistry, something most editors wouldn't do, but that I have the means to. Every time there are hyphenation inconsistencies in a work I do, I get a list of them that the processing program I use automatically finds, and that I check up on manually. One reason I do this is because it's also the source of a common Wikisource proofreading typo as well, where a word is supposed to be hyphenated, but the OCR doesn't fix this because "–" is at the end of a line so not treated like a real hyphen. So, another reason I mark the real ones with {{tl|hinc}} is to remind me (and potentially other editors) that the inconsistency is legitimate, and that it's not due to an incorrect insertion or deletion of a hyphen by OCR proofreading. :: Another rationale is that in print, it was nearly impossible for typists and editors to catch all these variations, in any book. After all, there was no Find and Replace. But, since we have digital processing tools, it's not only possible but can be easy for us today. So I would almost consider the inconsistencies under the purview of "technical limitations of print", and not legitimate use of a variation, but it's impossible to prove its legitimacy, so I just wanted to mark it as "inconsistent" rather than as a typo. I always think to myself, "gee, they must have fired their intern and went with somebody else," every time for example the word "Phœbe" is changed to "Phoebe" after Chapter 6 in a novel (and that I would ''unambiguously'' consider a typo). :: I thought marking it would be nice, but I didn't expect people would find it intrusive. One UX compromise might be for a tooltip not to be displayed in certain instances, such as when the inconsistencies appear hundreds of pages apart, but accept the tooltip version if they appear in the same chapter or section or especially page. The idea is that it could be marked just so people, or programs, know it's there. Although in this instance, it's fair to say that, since Fuller's work is a short story collection with subworks taken from various sources, this might be a grey area. :: Anyway, thanks for considering what I had to say about it, and good luck.

"Is there anything that they're finding that I can take on board to improve my proofreading?" Or, for you, the algorithms. (And I agree that I would probably keep Phœbe consistent.) One of my ongoing contributions here is the Stratemeyer Syndicate books. Their methods of writing, editing, and publishing were "conveyor belt", which resulted in some pretty bad production values on some of the books—even the more popular ones. But, then, their general target audience of 8 to 14 y.o. wasn't particularly discriminating.

We know because the people involved had idiosyncrasies like those discussed here, so we can identify where those occur and assign the plays to a compositor (often down to the individual page). In fact, there are multiple people who have made their careers and academic reputation on just such studies, and there are entire massive monographs published on the topic. That they fired their intern after chapter 6 is actually significant information.{{pbr}}That being said, I agree with Beeswaxcandle: how seriously (strictly) to take this depends somewhat on the text. For one-penny pulps the leeway for laziness (pick a style, stick to it) is much greater (counter-example: Lovecraft), getting increasingly strict on a scale that terminates at scholarly monographs and transcriptions of the actual First Folio. But when we're at the First Folio, the Folger maintains a catalogue of surviving copies with enough detail to distinguish individual copies (in one case they identified the multiple sources for a Frankenstein copy) based on both physical characteristics (stains etc.) and quirks of the changing compositors.{{pbr}}PS. {{tl|SIC}} has always been slightly controversial as an annotation, and several editors insist on using {{tl|sic}} instead for all typos. I personally think we should consolidate the two and explicitly allow {{tl|SIC}} as a ''permissible'' annotation, but, in any case, any new template mimicking {{tl|SIC}} (vs. {{tl|sic}}) has the policy presumption against it. I am not at all sure I would support visually tagging inconsistent hyphenation (or any other mere inconsistency) as a sufficient reason for such annotation. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 08:55, 21 January 2024 (UTC) :::: {{ping|Xover}} Gee, we really consider that ''annotation''? I never thought a tooltip would count as an annotation, since it can't be seen unless you hover over it, and doesn't get included in the copy-paste text. But the fact that you can't see it on mobile devices when you hover over it <s>makes me hate smartphones even more</s> is unfortunate and I agree that that's really annoying... :::: My personal philosophy on SIC is to use it when they have a typo that's either 1. unambiguously recognizable as a typo (even in the context of their own time period, eliminating the form simply from being obsolete or archaic), or 2. if it's a typo, ''and'' inconsistent with other parts of the text using the same word. Which is where hyphenation inconsistencies come in. Since, I think inconsistencies are more recognizable to me as erroneous, especially if it occurs on the same chapter or page. I admit it might seem a lot more like fussing over nooks and crannies if we're talking about the inconsistencies being hundreds of pages and ten chapters apart from one another (but I still think they should be ''somehow'' noted in any case, at least for editors who might try to change them). But if they're on the same page or in the same chapter, this is something that people would immediately notice if they had any kind of eye for detail while reading, so I think at least this should be noted. If you have 5 "gunshots" and 1 "gun-shot" on a single page (which I've actually seen happen before), then the 1 "gun-shot" was clearly wrong anyway. :::: I think our technology to mark typos is a beautiful thing personally, and perhaps to your surprise, I'd even go far as to say it's one of my favorite parts of the project. (I'm the type of person who loves intricate detail, that's probably why.) Because it's just one more thing that sets us apart from other projects like Gutenberg, and it gives readers one more bit of contextual understanding. So I would be against removing our technology for marking inconsistencies and typos, since without them it'd be harder to actually get this understanding. And it (to me) seems very unintrusive, because instead of removing the typo outright, we opt to remain true to the original text while leaving in a note that doesn't actually alter the text in any way (which is why I am skeptical to the degree of "annotation" that it is). And since what can and can't be considered a typo is I'm sure the subject of many a heated debate even among scholars, it's easier to remove the typo ''marking template'', which just notes a typo, than to remove a typo ''correction'', which is harder for a proofreader to spot in the first place. :::: Maybe a solution for the "mobile devices" problem is to disable the tooltip specifically in exports and on mobile views, since they don't really work right in those cases. And all you see is a bit of underlining. That should be possible to do with CSS/Lua...I think. (Or maybe we can just complain to Apple, Amazon, and Google. I'm sure ''they'd'' listen to us.) [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema|talk]]) 11:53, 21 January 2024 (UTC) :::: {{comment}} The other idea I had for noting these "inconsistencies" and typoes is with a template that's placed on the page but not necessarily visible outside the wikitext editor. But, we can make a module for the Header template and/or Index that includes a collapsible "Errata" template that lists all the typos (hey, and it's also kind of an homage to the old texts we love so much, since they also used to do this). It's apparently harder and more resource-intensive to get Lua to actually go and read wiki pages than it is to collect data from Wikidata, but still ''technically'' possible. So it's not the solution I'd prefer over just tooltipping them, although it'd be pretty cool if it could actually be done.

I'm having a little trouble finding what I'm looking for in the help pages. I found the book I wanted to transcribe for Wikisource already existed on Wikimedia Commons, and used that. The proofreading and formatting is nearly done (just some validation left), but over the last couple of weeks, as I've become better acquainted with Wikisource, I've become increasingly convinced that the title of the file, and consequently the index page and all of the individual pages, are less than ideal. The book is called ''Base-Ball Ballads'', and there don't seem to be any other works by this title, or any files on Commons besides the book, and the illustrations from it that I recently uploaded. So ideally, that would be the title on Wikisource—I think. But instead, the title is "Base-ball ballads (IA baseballballads00rice)". So my questions are: can I change the title to just "Base-Ball Ballads" (with proper capitalization, and without "(IA baseballballads00rice)")? If so, should I move the file on Commons, then come to Wikisource and move the index page, and all of the individual pages separately? Or is there a shortcut for doing this? What will I break if I attempt to do this? I assume that in future, it would be better to move the source text before adding it to Wikisource—but being new to Wikisource, I wasn't sure I should do that, or what typical naming conventions here were. I just wanted to get started on something, since the process was so different than editing articles on Wikipedia, and I thought I would absorb the material better by learning as I went. I didn't even realize that the text was already available until I was trying to figure out how to import it from Internet Archive.

[[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle#top|talk]]) 08:12, 19 June 2024 (UTC) ::Ah, okay! Then I just need to wait for the rest of the pages to be validated before moving to mainspace. Well, there might be another issue, but I think I know how to deal with it—I just need someone to tell me if I understand the situation correctly, and I don't want to keep posting on the Scriptorium ATM, as I feel like I'm becoming a bit of a nuisance not understanding how to do things right! ::As I was transcribing the book, I saw a lot of archaic slang—words no longer in widespread use, or used with meanings that readers probably wouldn't expect, as well as lots of allusions to 19th and early 20th century ballplayers who (unlike Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, or Christy Mathewson, also mentioned numerous times) are no longer familiar even to many fans of baseball history. I looked for guidance on annotating these things, and after some searching found the <nowiki>{{user annotation}}</nowiki> template and documentation, and using that provided annotations in the footer, all marked as user annotations. However, when I asked about illustrations (for another project) at the Scriptorium, I was linked to a policy page that appears to say that no annotations should be added to a work until an unannotated version has been published, and then only as a separate annotated version. ::Confusing matters more, one guideline appears to say that annotations in the ''header'' don't count—I assume that this means "header or footer", as I can't recall ever seeing annotations in a header, while elsewhere in the help topics "header" is used to mean "header and footer"—while another page seems to say that annotations are acceptable on Wikisource, without mentioning separate editions, and somewhere I found guidance saying that terms could be linked, e.g. to Wiktionary (although in this case, the slang terms often lack the correct definitions there). I had been linking the names of the ballplayers to their articles in Wikipedia, with brief descriptions of them or why they were mentioned in the poems, in the footer annotations. ::Just when I was about to start deleting the annotations I'd spent a lot of time on—actually as much time as typing the original text of the poems—on the theory that I could retrieve them from the page history for a separate annotated edition later, I realized that the guidance about annotations on different policy pages and help topics was contradictory and confusing, and it would be better to make sure I needed to delete them before doing so. Can you offer any advice concerning the different guidelines—if indeed they are contradictory—and what I should do with the annotations that I made? [[User:P Aculeius|P Aculeius]] ([[User talk:P Aculeius|talk]]) 13:57, 19 June 2024 (UTC) :::There's no need to wait for complete validation before transcluding sections/chapters or a work. Most of my work here is yet to be validated.{{pbr}}With respect to the annotations, you can do them—provided there is an unannotated copy in the Mainspace and that the annotated version is clearly marked as such. The guideline on annotations in the header is about the notes field in the header template that is on every Mainspace page.{{pbr}}For the links to to Wikipedia, these are acceptable provided that they are not interpretative. If the people mentioned have authored anything, then the link should be to their Author: page rather than to Wikipedia—even if we don't host what they've written. The best template to use is {{tl|wdl}}, that way the link degrades gracefully through the possibilities. For Wiktionary, the policy is "occasional links" … "for obscure words".{{pbr}}What to do with your extensive footnotes? Unfortunately, they'll need to come out for the Mainspace transclusion. However, I would create a user subpage and save them there. That way they're easily retrieved for an annotated version. Alternatively, add the information to their Wikipedia pages that you're linking to. Hope all this helps. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle#top|talk]]) 05:59, 20 June 2024 (UTC) ::::Hmmm, when you say "save them to a user subpage", do you mean ''in situ'', as a duplicate of the proofread pages or the whole index (that would seem like the easiest way, though I'm not sure how to do that—creating subpages is easy enough, but I don't know ''whether'' it's possible to duplicate the whole index/set of pages) or do you mean cutting and pasting just the annotations, one-by-one, which would be a much more laborious process? Certainly doable, but even so, then I will have to research how to create a second index page for the annotated version—and that brings me back to the first question, because if that can be done, then it should be possible to duplicate the index as it currently stands (even if moved to a user subpage), then scrub the annotations from the first version to transclude into mainspace.

The fundamental reason is that we do not have tools that support annotated texts within our policy framework (given the restrictions we should have flat out prohibited them instead IMO), which means almost any attempt at one will be problematic in some way. As best I can tell we haven't created any new annotated texts in almost a decade for this reason (some non-policy-compliant texts have popped up but that's through lack of enforcement).{{pbr}}For anyone wanting to pursue annotations it will involve various forms of selective transclusion: tagging things in the Page: namespace such that it can be selectively transcluded into the annotated text's mainspace page without being visible in the main transcluded text. I think there are a couple of different templates for this sitting around, but all examples of their use were pretty terrible so I don't want to recommend them. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 16:37, 13 July 2024 (UTC) == Fostered content. == Thanks for the reverts, but you seem to have hit a 'glitch', possibly in the linter, in that the pages you reverted are showing up as having fostered content, which was why the headers been moved into the main body. If you have a more stable way of solving the reported 'fostered content' please explain it to me, so I don't have to waste my time, fixing tiems that according to your reasoning were 'pointless' or not broken. [[User:ShakespeareFan00|ShakespeareFan00]] ([[User talk:ShakespeareFan00|talk]]) 08:56, 5 July 2024 (UTC) :I haven't a clue what you mean by "fostered content" or for that matter "linter". The pages in question were transcluding correctly and efficiently into the Mainspace before your edits and therefore fiddling with them is pointless. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle#top|talk]]) 09:22, 5 July 2024 (UTC) ::The "linter" is a technical check built into MediaWiki that checks for various issues that ''may'' cause problems and which merits closer scrutiny by a human being. The checks are highly technical, and have been roundly criticised as being of rather poor utility. You can see the functionality in action on [[Special:LintErrors]]. Nothing flagged by the linter should be assumed to be something that must be "fixed", and certainly not urgently. It should, however, be checked by a human at some point and a decision made on whether or not it is something that needs some form of change (typically based on its potential to cause problems in the future). ShakespeareFan keeps running into trouble here because they have a tendency to treat the issues reported by the linter as 1) urgent, and 2) a backlog that should be reduced to 0. Neither of which is true, and so they tend to get rather harshly frustrated pushback from other contributors (not all of it deserved).{{pbr}}"Fostered content" is a concept from the HTML standards, applicable mostly to tables. The most common example is when a table cell is placed ''outside'' a table row. Table cells are ''required'' to be within a table row, so such cells are considered "orphan" elements. So to deal with these the standard specifies a "fostering algorithm" (i.e. make certain assumptions about where the cell was ''intended'' to be), and thus such content is considered "fostered content". Elements that are fostered can be a problem even if it currently ''looks'' ok, so instances of it should be checked. The problem is that the way we do multi-page transclusions we often have a table cell and other content that spans several wikipages. That is, in the Page: namespace we have HTML ''fragments'' not complete HTML ''pages'', that do not get turned into complete HTML pages until the content is transcluded. This alone causes a lot of false positives. In addition, our use of the header and footer field (and other noinclude-shenanigans), makes this difficult for tools like the linter because only Proofread Page really knows about these tricks. In some scenarios this causes yet more false positives. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 16:47, 13 July 2024 (UTC) == Retiring the 2006 toolbar == Following up on [[Special:PermanentLink/14461010#Legacy_toolbar|User talk:Ineuw#Legacy toolbar]]… As mentioned, my goal is to be able to retire that Gadget to reduce the amount of code we need to deal with, and that has to be loaded on every page load, etc. Could you go into more detail about the "screen real-estate" issue? The 2010 toolbar consumes the full width of the editing text box + the scan image. Even if the toolbar isn't there, those two components will still take up the same amount of horizontal space. So horizontally I don't see how it makes any difference. Vertically it does sit above the text box and scan image, while the 2006 toolbar lives (IIRC) inside the text box. The 2010 toolbar also has a lot more functions that will tend to make it taller, especially if its subsections are expanded (the built-in character picker is particularly egregious here). But even considering those two factors it's not really a lot of pixels difference between the two vertically, especially compared to all the other UI elements involved. The inconsistent position of the charinsert character picker sounds more like a bug, so when I have time I'll look into that and will probably have some questions for you then.

If you're amenable, then I suggest looking at all four sets of translations and choosing the one set which you think reads aloud the best. If it is Myers' or Wheelwright's, I can simply attach the recordings to our existing copies. If you choose Paley's or Way's, then I shall transcribe that edition and attach the audio. I also strongly recommend comparing against the [[Portal:Odes of Pindar|Portal]] list of Isthmian Odes before you publish. The numbering scheme for that group is inconsistent between different translators and editions, and there is still controversy today over the numbering. * Myers {{ssl|Odes of Pindar (Myers).djvu}} * Paley {{ssl|Odes of Pindar (Paley).djvu}} * Way{{ssl|Pindar in English Verse (Way 1922).djvu}} * Wheelwright {{ssl|Pindar and Anacreon.djvu}} {{smaller|(hybrid volume containing both Pindar's Odes as well as anonymous poetry in the style of Anacreon from a much later period)}} --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 18:29, 10 March 2025 (UTC) == "Not Understood" == Thanks for putting this on LibriVox.

I have not access to Waldstein anil Kitaibel's work ;* but it. is certainly not the H. stoloiiijhnim of Fries' ' Epicrisis.' Of the latter I possess specimens collected at Frankfort-on- the-Oder, sent me by the late Herr Buck. Fries quotes ' //. pedun- culare,' Wallr., as a variety of //. Pilosella ; but as he quotes the same page of the Sched. Crit. (406) as that on which Wallroth gives his //. pedunculatum, no doubt Fries means to put //. pcdiincidatuiu as a variety of H. Pilosella. Whether it be a variety or subspecies remains to be proved by raising the plant from seed. Ilieracium dubinvi, Linn. Dr. Roy sends a specimen of a Hieracium which was noticed several years ago, by the Eev. James Keith, of Forres, on a piece of waste ground near that town. I believe it to be the plant formerly named by Fries, H. collinum, but which he now considers to be the true H. diibium of Linnaeus. The periclines of the only Forres specimen I have seen are smaller, the peduncles longer, and the leaves on the stolons less developed than in the ordinary form of the Scan- dinavian //. duhiuni ; but Fries states that it is even more protean and polymorphous than the very variable tl. prceaUum, which it replaces in colder countries. I cannot, therefore, speak with certainty as to the name of the Forres plant until I have seen a series of specimens. II. Borreri, Syme. Cultivated in Balmuto Garden. The root origi- nally from Mr. Borrer, through Mr. H. C. Watson. It is probably the //. jierfoUatiim, Frolich, though I have a specimen named ' H. Grenieri, Fries,' collected at Freiburg by Dr. Lagger, and sent me last year by Dr. Huter, which comes very near it, though it is more hairy, and with larger and fewer anthodes. H. Gre)iieri is not described by Fries in his ' Epicrisis Hieraciorum ;' but he proposes the name for a plant interme- diate between H. cydoniifolimn, Vill., and //. prenaiithoides, Vill. Dr. Hooker, in the ' Student's Flora,' quotes my //. Borreri as a synonym of //. strictum, with which it has no affinity. Probably this is a clerical error in the position of the synonym, which ought to have been placed under prenanlhoides. H. strictum, Fries. Banks of the Devon between the Crook of Devon and Rumbling Bridge, Kinross. It occurs very sparingly on rocks by the river-side ; and as the plant seems to be very local, I have thought it advisable to mention this station, although it has been long known in * The plant from the railway bank, at Grant on, Edinburf^'li, colleefed by Mr. Sadler, in 186i), certainly agrc-os with Waidstein and Jviluibel's bcuutifid "figure of//, siolonijiontm. — 11.

The court to which the ward resorted for an account and relief was a court of general equity jurisdiction, and therefore a court having cognizance thereof, and the causes of action alleged in the complaint are fully sustained by these admit- ted faets, unless the matters alleged in the answer are, if sustained by the evidence, valid defences to the guardian. 1. The firstground of defence insisted on is that by the war the relation of guardian and ward was terminated, and hence ît is argued that though the former guardian continued to hold upon some kind of a trust the asseta which he had received as guardian, yet that he no longer held them as- guardian under and acoording to the laws of New York; that the guar- dian and ward having both acquired new domiciles ont of this state and within the territory of what became, at least pending the war, an alien and a hostile state, this personal domestic relation was thereby wholly broken and did not re- vive when the war eeased, and the guardian was no longer accountable to the courts of New York as guardian, even after the close of the war. I can see no ground whatever for this position, so far as concerns the care and safe-keeping of the property of the ward in the hands of the guardian, and his liability to account for it after the war was over. Doubtless during the war, if the guardian had remained there and his ward had become an alien enemy, his duties as guardian would be modifled by that fact. He could not properly or legally remit funds for her support to any person in the hostile territory. But he would still be under the same obligation as before as to the safe- keeping of the property, and, whenever the ward eeased to be an alien enemy by the termination of the war, there was no legal obstacle to her calling the guardian to an account for the property so held. Even if the war dissolved the relation, the effect of such dissolution would not be greater than would be that of the termination of the guardianship by the deatb<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 51gqpritc5qhkhial0x640vff3bsv1n Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/30 104 633719 15134583 8168989 2025-06-14T21:47:36Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, ORTBB → ORTER, BBPORT → REPORT, removed: � (8) 15134583 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>.22 FEDERAL REPORTER. • ■ requested of the near relatives of the infant the appointment of a new guardian. His reasons were his age and growing infirmities, and his own business cares and perplexities; and the appointment was asked for and made ic accordauce with his request. The reasons were yalid and sufficienli, and the circumstances made it proper that the new guirdian should be appointed in Alabama, and I eannot doubt that if the defendant's testator had applied to the surrogate's court, of Eichmond county, for leave to resign his trust and to transfer the ward's estate to the duly appointed guardian in Alabama, his petition would have been granted. What would thus bave been approved as just and right if asked for, can now be justified as done for the bene&t of the ward. Therefore, in any accounting to be had, the defendant's testator should be credited with his cash payment to the new guardian of $808.70. But beyond this the transaction re- ferred to as a settlement with and release of the defendant's testator by the new guardian neither purported to be, nor could, if so understood and intended by the parties, be a re- lease of the former guardian of his liability to account for the residue of the infant's estate with which he was charge- able. The new trustee merely gave a receipt for sundry eecurities, mostly worthless, which the defendant's testator tumed over to him. They were the remains of the invest- ments which had been made of the ward's property. But the original investments being in bank stock had been not suoh as the ward was, when of age, bound to accept, and by the changes of value eflfeoted by the war; and by the reinvest- ments made in consequence of the war and during the war the result was that the rest of the fund consisted of bonds of Bouthem cities and southern railroads, of little value. It is too plain for argument, it seems to me, that a new guardian has no power to accept a transfer of such proper- lies as a full discharge of the former guardian's liability to account for and make good the moneys originally received. Buch an act would be a gross abuse of his trust by the new guardian. No court would authorize or justify it, and cer- tainly a guardian has no power, by virtue of his appointment.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> kl4ov022j5lse6k8jc4z2vpftfzdslr Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/42 104 633731 15134702 8169122 2025-06-14T22:13:58Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDBB → FEDER, TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (8) 15134702 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>34 FEDERAL REPORTER. lactory which belonged to the testator in this cause, I stated on a former occasion that in my opinion the right which any person may have to the protection of this court does not depend upon any exclusive right which he may be supposed to have to a particular name or to a particular form of words. His right is to be protected against fraud. It is truly said that if any one takes upon himself to study these two labels he wiU find several marks of distinction. On the other hand the colors are of the same nature, the labels exactly the same size,the letters are arrangea precisely in the same mode, and the very same name appears on the face of the jars. It appears to me that there is quite sufficient to mislead the ordinary run of persons, and that the object of the defendant is to persuade the public that this new establish- ment is in some way or other connected with the old firm, and at the same time to get purchasers to go to 90J Holburn Hill, and not to 97 High Holburn. I think what has been done is quite calculated to effect that purpose, and the de- fendant must be restrained. "My decision does not depend on any peculiar or exclusive right the plaintiffs have to use the names Day & Martin, but upon the fact of the defendant using those names in connec- tion with certain circumstances, and in a manner calculated to mislead the public, and to enable the defendant to obtain, at the expense of Day's estate, a benefit for himself to which he is not in fair and honest dealing entitled." In the case of Holloway v. Holloway, (1850,) 13 Beav. 209, the plaintiff having established a reputation for preparations known as HoUoway's pills, and ointment, his brother Henry began to sell H. HoUoway's pills and ointment, put up in sim- liar boxes, and with labels and wrappers similar to plaintifif's. The maater of the rolls said that, although the defendant had a right to constitute himself a vendor of HoUoway's pills and ointment, he had no right to do so in such way as to deceive the public, and make them believe he was selling the plain- tiffs medicines, and that he could not be allowed to perpetrate gueh a fraud.

Involving, as it does, the right of national banks to sue in the federal courts out of the district in which they are estab- lished, the question presented is an interesting one. Ttie amount in controversy in this case being less than |500, that alone -would defeat the jurisdiction, unless there is some law authorizing national banks to sue in the federal courts out of the district where they are established, and without regard to the sum in controversy. Section 59 of the act of 1863, commonly known as the "Currency Act," (12 U. S. St. 681,) reads as follows : "That suits, actions and proceedings, by and against any association under this act, miiy be had in any circuit, district or territorial court of the United States, lield ivithïn the district in which such association may he esiaUlshed." The act of June 3, 1864, (13 U. S. St. 116, § 57,) re- enacts this section, omitting the words "by and," so it in terme only authorized proceedings in said courts against such associations and not by them. But the supreme court, in Kennedy v. Gibson, 8 Wall. 506, liekl that the omission of those words was accidentai and not intentional, so the law remained in that respect as it was originally enacted. When the revision of the United States Stalutes was had, this sec- tion was dropped from the currency act, title, "National Banks," and was plaoed under the title "Judiciary," and there reads as follows : "The circuit courts shall have original jurisdiction as follows : "Tenth. Of ail suits by or agamsfc any banking associa- tion, established in the district for xchlcli the court is held, under any law jM-oviding for national banking associations." U. S. Eov. St. 110, 111. It will be seen that this provision îs in substance the same as that contained-in the currency acts bei'ore men- tioned, and very clearly limita the jurisdiction to suits by or against banking associations established in the district where the court ia held, and that jurisdiction in no way depends upon the amount in controversy.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 2c5d31vbvvp4ryjveb6p2l8cr9gp8c9 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/68 104 633758 15134732 8169407 2025-06-14T22:19:52Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: wlie → whe, FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, removed: � (7) 15134732 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>60 FEDERAL REPORTER. such ceiling is also derived from the statements of the con- signee, who testifies that he went down into her hold after she was discharged, and he states that she was ceiled from the keelson entirely up to the deck, Nor does he say a word about any additional ceiling. Ships carrying grain fre- quently have what is called a grain ceiliag, in addition to the ordinary permanent ceiling, which usually extends only to the upper turn of the bilge. Uuiike that, a grain ceiling is a temporary appliance built up as dunnage to keep the grain removed from the permanent ceiling. Sup- port to the theory of the respondents that the steamer had such temporary ceiling for the protection of the cargo in question is derived chiefly from the testimony of the head stevedore, who superintended the discharge of the cargo, and the fact that the steainer, on her former voyage from Odessa to Falmouth, for orders, carried a cargo of wheat, which was delivered without injury. Beyond ail doubt, the evidence shows that the damage was caused by sait water, which came in contact with the bundies of sheet iron as they lay stowed in the aft lower hold; and it is equally clear that the water must have reached the iron in large quantities to have caused such extensive dama-ge to one thousand bundies of the iron, estimated to weigh 55 tons. Cargo stowed in the same hold, above the bundies of sheet iron, came out in good condition; and the witnesses for the respondents agree that there had been no leakage through the hatches, fxom which it worM seem to follow that the wat^r must have corne from below. Confirmation of that view, of a persuasive eharacter, is derived from the testimony of the master, who in direct terms attributes the damage to the blowing of bilge-water through the seams of the ceiling in the after hold when the steamer rolled. Cogent support to that theory is also derived from the testimony of the mate, who expresses the opinion that it was caused by the ship laboring so heavily and rolling. Con- vincing confirmation of that theory, if more be needed, is also found in the testimony of Port Warden Paine, who tostified that when he went down into the after hold he did not see<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> falrvo4lz3mbw1pvav74969qj88yiqz Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/100 104 633791 15134575 8168774 2025-06-14T21:46:22Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, POBT → PORT, removed: � (7) 15134575 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>92 FEDERAL REPORTER. We consider that the practice adopted by Mr. Stetson har- monizes better with the rules than that whioh was adopted in this case. The practice which we approve is this : The mas- ter appoints a day for proceeding with the reference, and gives notice, by mail or otherwise, to the parties or their solic- itors. We think the solicitor should be notiûed, whether the party is or not; though, probably, under rule 75, notice to the party is a good notice. If the defendant does not appear, the master proceeds, ex parte, and makes ont the profits and damages, if he can, from the evidence produced by the plain- tiff. If it appears that an account of profits is necessary to a just decision of the cause, and is desired by the plaintiff, he makes an order that the defendant fnrnish an account by a certain day, and adjourns the hearing to that day. The de- fendant should be served personally with a notice of this adjournment, and of the order to produce his account, if it is intended to move for an attachment in case he fails to appear. The service may be made by any disinterested per- son, and need not be by the marshal. If the defendant then fails to appear and account, he will be in contempt. The mode of proceeding which we do not approve, is for the plaintiff to take out a notice, in the first instance, before any hearing has been or can lawfully be had, requiring the defendant to furnish an account by a certain day on pain of punishment for contempt. We doubt the power of the mas- ter to make such an order upon a mere inspection of the record, and we consider the practice inexpedient if it is lawful. The defendant's first objection is sustained. His objection, which is of more real importance in most cases, that the ser- vice must be by the marshal, we overrule.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> f5e1su9j23yftpmyb23qnupgimeiktw Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/162 104 633853 15134576 8168842 2025-06-14T21:46:24Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, FEDBB → FEDER, REPOB → REPOR, TEB. → TER., removed: � (9) 15134576 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>154 FEDERAL REPORTER. of said river to suit their convenience, from five to eight days at a time. And the plaintiff prays that the defendants be perpetually enjoined from the running of loose logs in the river, and that the court w U adjudge such piers, booms and dams to be a nuisance, and that the same be abated, and that the defend- ants be required to remove the same and restore the said river and slough to their original condition. The demurrer raises the question whether, upon the facts alleged, the court can make a decree granting the relief prayed for. We think it cannot. 1. The bill of complaint seems to be framed upon the theory that the Chippewa river being navigable for steam- boats as well as for the purpose of floating saw logs to market, there is something peculiar and sacred under the constitution and laws of the United States and the state of Wisconsin, about steamboat navigation, that should give it the preference over and entitle it to the protection of the law against this other form of commercial enterprise. And no doubt if congress, by virtue of the commerce clause in the constitution, should at any time assume legislative jurisdic- tion and control of the navigation of the Chippewa river, as it may at any time do, that body could subordinate the log- ging interest to that of steamboat navigation, or might pro- hibit the use of the stream for such purpose altogether. Un- der the authority to regulate commerce its power is superme, whenover it shall see fit to exercise it. But until congress assumes to control the commerce of the river, I take it to be clear law that, as to those streams that lie wholly within the territory of a state, though approachable by other streams from other states, as in this case from the Mississippi river, that the state within whose boundaries such river lies may leg- islate in reference to its commercial use as a public highway ; and such has been the uniform practioe throughout the eoun- try. This doctrine was first settled by the supreme court in the case of Wilson v. The Blàckbird Creek Marsh Co. 2 Pet. 245-250.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> o5x6tsmczfyw6gcnsfyyjb13dg7xrog Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/188 104 633879 15134577 15132752 2025-06-14T21:46:30Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: DEEAL → DERAL 15134577 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>180 FEDERAL REPORTER.

Another charter-party was then executed by Gregg & Co. containing the words "sailed or about to sail from Benizaf," which was accepted and agreed by Schumacher & Co., and that is the contract under which this controversy arises. It appears that during the negotiation Schumacher & Co. endeavored to get a stipulation inserted in the charter-party that the vessel would arrive in time for the August shipment, but that was refused. It also appears that in the printed charter-party used there was a stipulation in this language : "Charterers to have the option of cancelling this charter-party should vessel not have arrived at loading port prior to .'* This was erased by drawing a pen through it.

If there should be a question arising after the administration on the one hand of the state or federal tribunals, through its receiver, not coupled with or growing ont of the administration of the law through the respective courts pertaining to the oonduct of its ofiScers, such subse- quent question might be oonsidered; but not pending the litigation. Hence it should be understood that the naked and broad proposition is decided by this court in this particular case, that where, under the state insurance act, proceedings have been instituted against a company which finally ripen into the administration of the affairs of that company, all inter- mediate proceedings must be finally disposed of in that tri- bunal, even though a judgment were rendered here pending the administration. In this case judgment was rendered. It stands as a valid and subsisting judgment, subject, however, in its order of distribution, to the rules pertaining to the ad- ministration of these affairs under the insurance act "of the state. Suppose, under the insurance law, the case against this company had been finally dismissed in the state court, this plaintiff would then have had his lien according to its order of priority. But he took his judgment subject to the deter- mination of the state court, whether it should render a final decree of dissolution relating back to the date of the pro- ceedings. Consequently the proceedings here are not void ; it is a valid judgment, to await its order in that court like any other judgment. If this is understood, that is all of this case. In other words, having entered of record the revival of this matter in the name of Lewis, administrator, the petition is dismissed as to all other matters, and the party remitted to his proceedings in the state court, so far as this case is con- «erned. Now, a few words should be said with regard to the two cases of Payne v. Hook, supra. In the second case the supreme court of the United States, without expressly saying that it had overruled itself with regard to the matters involved in those cases, practically did so.

A. Eonald, the surviving partner of Ronald & Co., for $3,000. Groves swears positively that, finding him- self indebted to Eonald in Bomewhat over |3,000, an agree- ment was made to extend the time on the Mayes note, and forbear suit, -without the knowledge and consent of the sure- ties, by giving a chattel mortgage upon a quantity of live stock then owned by him, it being understood, as he says, that the live stock should remain in his possession, and, when fattened and sold, the proceeds should be paid over to Eonald in set- tlement of his claim, It seems, however, that the hogs ail died of choiera, and the mortgage, when foreclosed, realized less than $200. Did the giving of this mortgage extend the time for the payment of the Mayes debt ? It certainly did not upon its face. It recites "that whereas, the said Groves is indebted to said Eonald in the sum of $3,000, now due and payahle: Now, to secure the due payment of said sum, the said Groves hereby sells and conveys unto the said Eonald, etc. * * * provided, however, should the said Groves pay, or cause to be paid, the sum of $3,000, and the interest thereon, then this mortgage to be null and void, otherwise to remain in fuU force and effect." It is well settled that, in order to release sureties, the agreement to extend the time must not only be given for a consideration, but it must be a binding agreement. There is evidence in this case tending strongly to show that this mortgage was in reality made by Groves to protect his prop- erty from his other creditors; but, granting that the mortgage was execnted for a valuable consideration, was there a bind- ing agreement to extend the time ? As before observed, the mortgage does not purport to do so upon its face. No time is fixed for payment, and the rule in such cases is that the paper is payable immediately. 1 Dan. on Negotiable Instruments, §§ 88, 599 ; CornelL v. Moulton, 3 Den. 12.

Subseqnently, Dr. Page presented to congress a peti- tion dated January 16, 1866, in which he said: "During the years 1836, 1837 and 1838, your petitioner invented a mag- neto-electric apparatus for administering electricity as a remedy for diseases, and, also, for purposes of scientific illus- tration, since known under the varions names of Page'scom- pound magnet and electrotome, Page's induction coil, Page's separable helices, and Page's analysis of shocks, a distinguish- ing feature of which invention was an automatio or self- operating circuit-breaker, by which the presence of an attend- ant or assistant was dispensed with. Said apparatus also embraced other novel and original features of improvement. In the year 1842 your petitioner was appointed principal examiner in the United States patent office. Some time after said appointment, your petitioner discovered that his said invention was being introduced into public use by others without his consent, and being disabied, under the law, from obtaining a patent, your petitioner, at the recommendation of Hon. Henry L. Ellsworth, then commissioner of patents, in the year 1854 applied to congress to remove the disability in his case, inasmuch as the invention was made before his said appointment to office. Pailing in this to obtain relief, your petitioner, as soon as his circumstances permitted, did, in the year 1852, resign his ofBce, and, as soon thereafter as practicable, February 2, 1854, applied for a patent for this, his said invention. After a very thorough investigation, the com- missioner of patents decided that the invention was novel and original with your petitioner, but refused to grant a patent, on the ground of abandonment of the invention to the public. Your petitioner is unwilling to admit that the public use of said invention was with such entire consent and allowance on his part as in equity, to have worked an abandonment against him, as the circumstances were peculiar and extraordinary, and such as have never before occurred to an American inventor, and he, therefore, prays your honorable bodies to<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 8o8i54y0dd1mitrhxzbyjmn2hwk0qso Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/338 104 634029 15134586 8169031 2025-06-14T21:48:09Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, KEPORT → REPORT, removed: � (6) 15134586 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>330 FEDERAL REPORTER. or sell is one called "Dualin, made in accordance with a patent granted to the defendant Dittmar January 18, 1870. They urge the foUowing propositions : (1.) That, in view of matters now presented, the plaintiff's reissued patent, in omitting the word "inexplosive," in discarding the concen- tration feature of the original patent, and in altering and adding other clauses not contained in the original patent, is broader than the original and void. (2.) That, on the evi- dence now presented, the Dittmar patent is the first valid and subaisting patent for nitro-glycerine safety powder combina- tions, composed of nitro-glycerine absorbed in some com- bustible or explosive, as distinguished from inexplosive sub- stance, and that the plaintiff's reissue should be limited strictly to what ia contained within the plain reading of the description of the original patent. (3.) That Dittmar was the original and first inventer of the mixture of nitro-glycer- ine with some porous solid, as distinguished from fluid or liquid substance, in such proportions as to render the result- ing compound a powder safe against the usual shocks of transportation and use, and, therefore, the original and first inventor of the compositions claimed in Nobel's original patent and in the plaintiff's reissue; that Nobel fraudulently and surreptitiously purloined his invention, and that the original and the reissue are void. (4.) That the conduct of the plaintiff and its proceedings heretofore, with respect to its litigations and to Dittmar, have not been such as to justify the application for an injunction at this stage of the suit. The question of the difference between the original and the reissue in respect to the concentration feature, and in the omission from the reissue of the word "inexplosive, " found in the original, in reference to the absorbent substance, was considered and passed upon in the decision of this court in the Eand case favorably to the plaintiff, and the la tter point was considered and passed upon in the same way by Judge Shepley in the Goodyear case. In the present case it is con- tended for the defendants that extrinsic evidence, "not in the former cases, is introduced, as to the state of the art of man- faoturing explosive compounds in 1867 and 1868, and »3 to<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 89sxzu2u09zf7krg79gd8q58c5ilnse Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/356 104 634047 15134587 14560406 2025-06-14T21:48:18Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, EDEBAL → EDERAL , POBT → PORT, ORTBB → ORTER, removed: � (8) 15134587 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>848 FEDERAL REPORTER. iurisdictîon in personam of suits for assaults, and I see no reasou to doubt that a seaman may join in an action for wages a claim against the Tessel for injuries received by such acts of negligence as the ship is liable for, in a pro- ceeding in rem; but, by General Admiralty Eule 16, "in all suits for an assault or beating on the high seas, or elsewhere within the admiralty and maritime jurisdiction, the suit shall be in personam only." It seems to be the opinion of Mr. Benedict, however, (Bene- dict's Admiralty, § 309,) that this rule is confined to cassa technically for assault and battery as a mare tort, and that if the action be brought on a contract, as for not carrying a passenger safely, or without injury, or for not treating with kindness a passenger or seaman, an assault or beating being the gravamen of the breach, that the suit may be in rem against the vessel. No authorities, however, are cited to this proposition, and upon a careful examination I have been unable to find any which lends it support. It is true there are certain cases in rem in which the libellant may join any nimber of demands, and in cases in personam elaims ex delicto and ex contracta sucs not infrequently joined in the eame libel. Dunlap's Admiralty, 89. The question here involved is discussed in but a single case, viz., Pratt \. Thomas, 1 Ware's Eep. 427, in which the leamed judge for the district of Maine considers the subject with his usual thoroughness, and cornes to a conclusion that a claim for damages for a personal wrong is an entirely independant claim, and perfectly unconnected with that for wages. This case is a much stronger one against a joinder than the one at the bar, as it was a libel in personam against the master. If it had been supposed that the court could entertain juris- diction in rem of a suit for an assault, it is incredible that precedents for such suits should not be found in the books, for cases of aggravated assaults upon seamen are of the com- monest occurrence. ' Upon the contrary, in all reported cases of this kind the actions are in personam only.

The other defendants were made parties, either because they had become purchasers of some portion of the mortgaged premises, subject to the lien of the mortgage, or because they were the judgment creditors of Elisha Ruckman, and had attached bis right and interest in the mortgage by proceedings in foreign attachment, by virtue of which they claimed to bave a lien upon the mortgage debt. The petition for the removal of the cause into this court was filed by the defendant Elisha Euckman under the sec- ond section of the act of congress of Mareh 3, 1875, which provides "that any suit of a civil nature, at law or in equity, now pending or hereafter brought in any state court, where the matter in dispute exceeds, exclusive of costs, the Bum or value of $500, * * * • in which there shall be a controversy between citizens of different states, * • * • either party may remove said suit into the circuit court of the United States for the proper district.

We see no evidence that the parties ooncerned, the stock- holders, made any snch agreement as is here supposed. Being under a statute liability for the debts of the company, and choosing to remain so — ^for they could bave put an end to this state of things by filing an annual statement of their affaira — they found it more convenient to raise money by negotiating bonds with five years to run, rather than notes which needed to be often renewed. They SGCured their nego- tiable bonds by a mortgage, in order to increase their value, not to diminish it. It was an ordinary arrangement, which had no concealed equitiea. The negotiable bonds were to be negotiable, and to have the same properties in the hands of the shareholders as in those of other "applicants" who should take them. No doubt one principal motive which induced the shareholders to take the bonds in the first instance was that the company must ba kept afloat ; but there was no agree- ment expressed, and none arisos from the nature of the trans- action, that the bonds should not be sold, or that they should hold good only against the property of the company. We suppose it to bave been taken for granted that the bonds were amply secured, in which case no such question as is now before us could have arisen. At any rate, it appears, from the correspondence between the parties and from the votes, and ail the evidence in the record, that the bonds were intended to be what they purport to be, the negotiable prom- ises of the corporation, as much so as the notes for which they were substituted. The second defence is that the plaintiffs bave agreed to stand in the place of stockholders by their stipulation to indemnify the assignees of Chapman as such stockholders. We agree that if the assignees, when this stipulation waa made, were stockholders in the sense of being liable for the debts of the company, the defence is a good one to the extent of their proportionate share Of the debts, so that the plain> tiffs could only recover in equity the difference between the price of their bonds and such proportionate liability.

AU other creditors are excluded from any share of the as- signed estate, but their rights are not otherwise afïected. By the plain terms of the statute, as well as by repeated judicial exposition of it, the participating creditors are barred of any suit, in law or equity, against the assignee, except in respect of the property upon which the assignment operates. He is protected against personal liability to them, his future acquisitions are unavailable to them, and in every beneficiai and practical sense the relation of debtor and creditor between them ceases to exist. It follows, therefore, that if the title of the voluntary assignee to the property conveyed by the assign- ment is indefeasible by the assignee in bankruptcy, the cred- itors who proved their claims under the assignment could not pass a valid resolution of composition. This depends upon the effect of the thirty-fifth section of the original bankrupt act, which has been divided into sec- tions 5128 and 5129, in the Eevised Statutes. The first of these sections (5128) avoids preferences to creditors, when made vrithin four months- before the date of proceedings in bankruptcy; and the latter (5129) avoids all conveyances made in violation of the provisions of the bank- rupt act within six months of the date of such proceedings.. It is only necessary to say, in reference to the act of June 22, 1874, that it is inoperative in this case. Its abbreviation of the period within which preferences and conveyances in violation of the bankrupt law may be avoided is expressly limited to cases of involuntary bankfuptcy, leaving the origi- nal enactment unchanged in all cases of voluntary bankruptcy.. I think there is no reason to doubt that the voluntary assignment here does not fall within the class of preferences to which section 5128 of the Eevised Statutes exclusively" applies, and which are avoidable when made within foitr months before the date of proceedings in bankruptcy. By the terms of the state law under which it was made all the prop- erty of the assigner vests in his assignee for the equal benefit<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> dmtzuwppuc6h1o8obve8uzwkhux4610 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/430 104 634123 15134707 15132764 2025-06-14T22:15:26Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: DEEAL → DERAL, AL REPOE → AL REPOR, REPORÏ → REPORT, PORTEB → PORTER 15134707 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>422 FEDERAL REPORTER. new right is given and a specifie relief provided for the vio- lation of such right, the punishment or remedy is confined to that given by the statuts. Sedgwick on Statutory Law, 94. In this construction I coneur in the opinion of Mr. At- tomey General Devens, of April 30, 1878; but coneeding that the act of the defendant in detaining these letters was unauthorized, and tha,t the complaiuant might maintain an action at law for damages, it does not necessariiy foUow that he is entitled to an injunction. The writ of injunction does not issue as a matter of course, even if the complainant has made out a technical right to relief. An application to the court of chancery for the exercise of its prohibiting powers or restrictive energies must corne by the dictates of con- science, and be sancîioned by the clearest principles of jus- tice. The granting of an application is largely a matter of discretion, and is addressed to the conscience of the chancel- lor, acting in view of all the circumstances connected with the case. A party seeking this extraordinary remedy must aome into court with clean hands, and show not only that his elaim is valid by a strict letter of the law, but that in justice and equity he is entitled to this particular mode of relief. In the case of the Maryland Savings Institution v. Schroder, 8 Gill & Johnson, 93, the depositor of a sum weekly in a sav- mgs institution, which he was entitled to withdraw at pleasure, agreed with and requested the institution to convert and invest his deposits permanently into the stock of said Com- pany. Upon the conversion he received dividends and par- ticipated in its entire profits. The institution became insolv- ent, and receiving in the course of its settlement with its debtors its certificates of deposit and payment, which would absorb all available funds of the depositor, on the ground that a conversion of his money into stock ,was in violation of the charter of the company, he applied for an injunction. It was held that whether the charter authoriaed it or not he was not entitled to the restraining power of the court.

Besides, the author- ities cited on the iirst point fully cover and determine this question. If the treaty-making power is authorized to deter- mine what foreigners shail be permitted to come into and reside within the country, and who shall be exchided, it must have the power generally to determine and prescribe upon what terms and conditions such as are admitted shall be permitted to remain. If it has authority to stipulate that aliens residing in a state may acquire and hold property, and on their death transmit it to alien heirs who do not reside in the state, against the provisions of the laws of the state, otherwise valid — and so the authorities already cited hold — then it certainly must be competent for the treaty-making power to stipulate that aliens residing in a state in pursuance of the treaty may labor in order that they may live and ac- quire property that may be so held, enjojed, and thus traus- mitted to alien heirs. The former must include the latter — the principal, the incidental power. See also Ilolde/i v. Joy, 17 Wall. 242-3; U. S.v. Whisky, 3 Otto, 196-8. But the provisions in question are also in conflict with the fourteenth amendment of the national constitution, and with the statute passed to give effeet to its provisions. The four- teenth amendment, among other things, provides that "no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of lif e, liberty, or prop- erty without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Section 1977 of the Eevised Statutes, passed to give effeet to this amendment, provides that "ail persons within the juris- diction of the United States shall have the same right in every state and territory to make and enforce contraets, to sue, be parties, give evidence, and to the full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of persons and property<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ithbiclmndl2q0xnlkx5vc2bs91uffl Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/558 104 634253 15134715 8169274 2025-06-14T22:16:50Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: fuUy → fully, POBT → PORT, PORTEB → PORTER, KEPORT → REPORT, FEBE → FEDE, FEDEBA → FEDERA, FEDERA.L → FEDERAL, removed: � (5) 15134715 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>650 FEDERAL REPORTER (if better terma were offered) than could Le obtainod else- ■where, the complainant in this suit, as a stockholder in the Consolidated Virginia Mining Company, would be very likely to complain. The position of Flood, O'Brien, Mackey and Fair may be delicate, and their acts in it call for rigid scru- tiny, but there is nothing necessarily fraudulent or morally wrong in it. These acts of purchase, howcYer, are alleged to be at higher priees than others charged, and in pursuance of of a conspiracy to injure the purehaser, and to be in fact fraudulent. It is easy upon information and belief to charge conspiracy and fraud whereby enormous profits accrue to the alleged culpable parties ; but it is quite a different matter to establish them by satisfactory proofs. As now presented, no answer even having been filed, the matters rest upon naked allegations upon information and belief. It is impossible to anticipate what may turn out in the proofs. It may possi- bly turn out in some legal aspect of the case that defendants may be adjudged to account, whether rightfully or not, under circumstances disclosing no actual fraud, and no moral delin- quency at ail. In such a case a right to contribution would certainly arise in favor of the party who is called upon to pay more than his share, even though there is no partnership between them. A.t aU events, various results may be reaehed in different suits and different courts, under different views, different management, or different proofs; and under various possible aspects there might well be reasonable ground to elaim a right to contribution, and wherein a party might reasonably bring an action to enforce it, though he might fail in the action. In such a case the finality of the determi- nation, as to the party charged in the accounting who pays more than his share, does not depend upon the resuit of his action to compel a contribution, but upon whether he has reasonable ground in good faith to seek to compel a contri- bution, even though he may ultimately fail. For the purpose of this motion we cannot look forward and determine abso- lutely whether a right of contribution will ultimately exist or not.

Other acts and speeches of plaintiff are detailed by the wit- nesses,going to show his reasoning faculties were more or less deranged. His condition remained the same for four or ûve days after the trade, when his mind seemed to be restored to its normal condition, and he inquired for his property, and seemed quite confounded when told he had traded it for the carriage. He testifies that he bas no knowledge or recollec- tion of anything that he said or did from the fourteenth of July, the date he received his injury, untilthe twenty-seoond day of that month. Persons who saw the plaintiff casually during tbis time tes- tify that they observed nothing in his speech or action io indicate that he was not sane; but those who were well acquainted with bim, and who were with him much before and after the injury, and who had the best opportanity of form- ing a correct opinion on the subject, agree in saying he was not in his right mind, and' was utterly incapable of transact- ing business, or forming or exercising a deliberate and intel- ligent judgment on any subject. Opinions of witnesses not experts are competent evidence in cases where the objeet is to prove capacity or incapacity to make a contract when the faots or circumstances are dis- closed on which they found their opinions.

In answer to a hypothetical question, which fairly stated the plaintifï's condition as disolosed by tha evidence, Dr. Barry givea it as his opinion that the f acts indicate a deranged condition of mind at the time the trade was made. One of the physical causes of insanity is severe injuries to the head from blows, causing concussion of the brain.

Marley $5,000, with the promise to complainant that the bond and mortgage to be given by Marley as secur- ity for the loan should be made directly to her as part of said settlement; that the bond and mortgage were in fact exe- cuted by Marley and wife to John F. Boylan, who shortly afterwards, in pursuance of an understanding and agreement ■with her husband, signed, sealed and acknowledged an assign- ment of the same to the complainant, whereby the title to the mortgage beeame vested in her; that afterwards, on de- mand, he refused to surrender the papers to her, claiming ownership in himself, by purchase for valuable consideration from Elisha Buckman, which she charges is a mere contriv- ance between the defendant Boylan and her husband to deprive her of the benefit of the gift. The prayers of the Mil are, (1) that the defendant Elisha Buckman may be decreed to pass over to the complainan<t the bond and mortgage, if the same are in his possession or under his control; (2) that the defendant John P. Boylan may be decreed to deliver up to complainant the bond, mort- gage and assignment thereof, if the same continue in his possesion or under his control; (3) that if the assignment heretofore made by the said Boylan to the complainant bas been destroyed, he may be decreed to execute and surrender to her a second assignment, so as to fully vest the legal title in her; (4) that as between the complainant and defendants Elisha Euckman and John P. Boylan, and every person who has obtained a secret interest in the bond and mortgage, a decree may be made vesting the title, and the debt secured by the same, in the complainant; and (5) that it may be decreed in what sum the said Marley waa indebted to the complainant upon said bond and mortgage, and thac he may be protected by a decree from ail loss in the payaient of the mortgage debt to the complainant.

For the p'irpoaes of a provisional injunction under the patent law two things, or either of two thingg, may exist, to-wit : As in this case, a court, after full consideration of the matter, has rendered a final decree upholding the validity of the patent, that is a sueScient basis in itself for an injunction or some form of a restraining or accounting order, provided the party defendant in the particular case has infringed the patent ; in other words, the court, on a motion for a provisional injunction, does not go into the mcrits to ascertain the validity of the patent. Prima fade the patent is valid; but under the uniform rulings of the courts of the United States for more than half a century, if there has been no decision as to the patent by a United States court, on the merits, the party is driven to show that hia patent went into use undisputed for a sufficient time to raise a prima facie case in his favor. But if the court, after a due consideration of the matter, has reached the conclusion that the patent is valid, on this provisional matter the inquiry is not open. The United States circuit court, sitting in Indiana, Judge Drummond giving the opinion, decided after a fair contest, for from the record it seems to have been a bona fide contest, that this patent is valid. I make the remark "after a fair contest," because sometimes it has been supposed that a mere decree enteveà pro foryna on the merits is sufficient in itself to require ail other United States circuit courts to grant a pro- visional injunction. Not so. We have held in this circuit that it must have been an honest and not a coUusive matter. In a case in the United States circuit court of xiiabama a matter formerly arose which illustrates my remark. When one of the most distinguished lawyers of New York was before me, he cited a case which was decided in Califor- nia, and which, on an examination of the record, I found to be a sham case, the decree being obtained by collusion in order to allow parties who held the patents to put under restraint parties refnsingto submit to their demanda; and, of course.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 39no8nsgcb2agotfo14rdapyobnfxrc Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/616 104 634311 15134736 8169339 2025-06-14T22:20:29Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EPORTB → EPORTE, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (12) 15134736 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>608 FEDERAL REPORTER. the bung desired without the loas of any material. He had a very ingenious arrangement for that, and it operated -with the whole machine, automatically. But that involved a cône, eccentrics, varions bars, slats, slides, etc., which it would take too much time to explain, unless I had the model before me. The patentees' claim is doscribed by himself as follows : "1. The chisel or cutter D, with cylindrical cavity, in com- bination with the plunger C, and feediug bar i, constructed and arranged, substantially as deseribed, for the purpose of cutting bung blanks from separate square blocks of wood. "2. The combination of feeding slide-bar i, feed-box C, guides 00, and spring o', for feeding successively one of a series or pile of bung-blocks forward in exact line wi-th the cutting edge of the ohisel of a bung machine, operating sub- stantially as deseribed- "8. The cutter D, feeding slide-bar i, and plunger C, so arranged relatively to each other as that the cutter or chisel shall, when cutting, have at least two blocks or blanks in line with its cuting edge, and that at each stroke of the machine the cutter shall finish cutting one block or blank, and enter and partly eut a second blank, instead of cutting a single blank at each stroke, substantially as and for the purpose hereinbefore deseribed. "4. The cutter and feeding device of a bung-cutting ma- chine, arranged substantially as hereinbefore deseribed, as that each block as it is fed into the machine shall serve as a cutting board for the next preceding block. "5. The use of the hingci bar m, in the slot of the sliding feed bar i, in combination with the vibrating shaft h\ whereby, by raising the bar m, the motion of the feed bar i is suddenly arrested, without stopping the motion of the other parts of the machine."

The rights of the par- ties are fixed by the bill of lading, and the evidence of con- versations prier to the date of it cannot have any effect to vary its provisions. The facts that the consignee's wharf was an old wharf, and that many canal beats were towed or poled up there every year, and that the consignee generally received his coal there, have no bearing on the question. His wharf was not the customary place for landing cargoes of coal at the port of Hackensack. It was, at most, but on» of "several such customary places; and the particular con- tracts made in other cases are not shown. This libellant had the right to stand on his contract, even if other persons had yielded to the demand of this consignee, under similar con- tracts, to bring their boats to his wharf; and the consigneô could have expressly contracted to bave the boat brought to his wharf if he had seen fit.

Nor can there be any doubt that if the plaintiff is deprived of his property by the decision of the surrogate that he is dead, made binding and conclusiye upon him by act of the legislature, he is deprived of his prop- erty by the state, within the meaning of the constitution. The prohibition clearly extends to the action of the state, through any or all of the departments, legislative, executive or judicial. The principal question, however, still remains whether the plaintiff in this case, who, by the statutes of New York, aa construed by its courts, and by the proceeding had under those statutes, would clearly be deprived of his property — that is, of his elaim against his debtor, the defendant — would be so deprived of it "hy due process oflaw." If he would not Jbe he has no ground of complaint in this court. The term, "due process of law," as used in the fourteenth amendment of the constitution of the United States, is the same expression used in many of the state constitutions and in the fifth amendment, above referred to. Its meaning haa been many times expounded by the supreme court. In Walker v. Sanvinet, 92 U. S. 92, Mr. Chief Justice Waite says : "A state cannot deprive a person of his prop- erty without due process of law, but this does not necessarily imply that all trials in the state court affecting the property of persons must be by jury. This requirement of the con- stitution, is met if the trial is had according to the settled course of judicial proceedings. Due process of law is process due according to the law of the land. This process in the states is regulated by the law of the state. Our power over that law is only to determine whether it is in conflict with the supreme law of the land ; that is to say, with the consti- tution and laws of the United States made in nursuance<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 5zks8675c4no58upr26vl474pgr8x5l Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/670 104 634365 15134729 15133021 2025-06-14T22:19:32Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: BBPORT → REPORT, FEDERAI → FEDERAL 15134729 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>662 FEDERAL REPORTER, ing the appropriation of private property to public use, im- pliedly declares that for any other use private property shall not be taken from one and applied to the private use of another.' And in Bloodgood v. The Mohawk e Hudson R. R. Go. 18 Wend. 59, Mr. Senator Traoy said : ' The words should be construed as equivalent to a constitutional declaration that private property, without the consent of the owner, shall be taken only for the public use, and then only upon a just com- pensation.' "I feel no disposition to question the soundness of these views, but still it seems to me that the case stands stronger upon the first member of the clause, 'No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law.' The words 'due process of law,' in tkis place, cannot mean less than a prosecution or suit instituted and conducted according to the prescribed forms and solemnities for ascertaining guilt, or determining the title to property. It will be seen that the same measure of protection against legislative encroachment is extended to life, liberty and property, and if the latter can be taken without a forensic trial and judgment, there is no seour- ity for the others. If the legislature can take the property of A. and transfer it to B., they can take A. himself and either shut him up in prison or put him to death. But none of these things can be done by legislation. There must be 'due process of law.'" These authorities would seem to be more than sufficient t» establish the proposition that it is not competent for a state, by a law declaring a judicial determination that a man is dead, made in his absence, and without any notice to or pro- cess issued against him, conclusive for the purpose of divest- ing him of his property, and of vesting it in an administrator for the benefit of his creditors and next of kin, either abso- lutely or in f avor of those only who innocently deal with such administrator. The immediate and necessary effect of such a law is to deprive him of his property without any process of law whatever as against him, although it is done by process of law against other people, his next of kin, to whom notice is given.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> r6kj2u79ri3pbbewsdzt8546048a4q7 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/678 104 634373 15134731 15133023 2025-06-14T22:19:51Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: DEEAL → DERAL, ÎEDER → FEDER 15134731 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>670 FEDERAL REPORTER. ence, therefore, to the power to subject the property of absent persons to attachment for their debts does not tend to show that the process in this case was "due process of law," but rather thecontrary; all the ordinary incidents of such process which alone make it "due process" are wanting, Nor is the object and design of the laws in question to apply the prop- erty to the payment of debts. Though that is incidentally provided for, their chief object, as well as their chief effeot, is to distribute it among the supposed next of kin, who have in fact no right to it. There can be no question, also, that it ia within the power, and is the duty, of the state to provide all proper safeguards for the protection of innocent persons who bave been led into mistake, to their injury, by the action of the surrogate, or otherwise; but, as it seems to me, this laudable and proper legislation must stop where it will operate to deprive another innocent person of his property for their benefit, There are some misfortunes that aven the most innocent cannot be pro- teoted against by the power of the state. Such is the case of persons who are innoeently misled into the belief that void judgments are valid, as in the case of a suit carried on against a person supposed to be alive, but in reality dead. Lorlng v. Folger, 7 Gray, 505; Jochimsen v. Savings Bank, 3 Allen, 87. In fact, this argument for the protection of the innocent sufferer against the consequences of the acts of another, by whom he has been misled into the misfortune of parting with his money, seems to be a misapplication of the doctrine of estoppel in pais. If the plaintiff has, by his conduct or decla- rations, induced the defendant to pay this money to the per- son holding the letters, then he will be estopped to deny the authority of that person to reçoive it; but every case of estop- pel in pais must rest on its own peeuliar circumstances. The defendant has not pleaded an estoppel in pais, but an estoppel by record — a judgment alleged to be binding on the plaintif. Nor has any court directly or plainly put the exemption of the defendant from liability, in a case like this, on any other ground than such an estoppel by record.

It -vFould have been very easy for congress to have enacted that the possession of any part of a stamp previously used should be punishable, if auoh had been the purpose ; or it might have been enacted that the possession of parts which were capable of being united or reunited, etc., should be an offence. When the specifie mode of using stamps for tobacco and snuff, as prescribed by the statutes and regulations thereunder, is considered, it is evident that section 3376 contemplated stamps detached as a whole, and not the mere possession of fragments of stamps, no matter how capable of being used. If stamps previously used are again affixed to a package, or if not destroyed when the package is emptied, etc., the section provides for appropriate penalties. Why, then, should a court go beyond the terms of the section to declare that to be an offence, by construction, which the statute does not make an offence, especially when the same section makes punishable any failure to destroy the stamp on opening the package, or any affixing of the stamp to a new package ?

The general question in the case is whether the assign- ment made by the bankrupts in trust for the benefit of all their creditors was valid, or whether, on account of any or all the reasons named in the bill or presented in the argument on the demurrer by the defendants, it is fraudulent and void. Independent of the bankrupt law of the United States, there can be no doubt that it was competent for the bankrupts to make such an assignment as that named in the bill. Being insolvent, it was the most equitable distribution that could be made of their property to divide it equally among all their creditors. Then, unless the assignment was rendered invalid by virtue of the bankrupt law of the United States or of the provisions of the state law already referred to, it must be con- sidered a valid assignment. If it was inoperative, by virtue of the bankrupt law, then the property, being all in the pos- session of the assignees in bankruptcy, the object of the bankrupt law is accomplished, and it is ready for distribution to the creditors of the bankrupts according to the terms of that law; and so there coula be no objection to the bill on the ground that the assignment was invalid under the opera- tion of a banKrupt law.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> bebc4cevs6yv3q5fizvlrbh26jqiobl Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/758 104 634453 15134740 8169475 2025-06-14T22:21:00Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, BBPO → REPO, REPORTEE → REPORTER, removed: � (8) 15134740 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>750 FEDERAL REPORTER. of its obligations and duties to the government, and to the public. In my judgment the act of July 1, 1862, and its amend- ments, must be construed as chartering the Union Pacific EaiIrOad Company, and devolving upon it, individually and personally, the power and duty of constructing, operating and maintaining a line of telegraph, as well as a railroad. This is made manifest by the consideration that the government endowed the corporation with large grants of land and bonds, to aid in the construction of these lines, and impressed upon the Company the duty of reimbursing the government from the earnings of the road and telegraph line. Section 6, act of 1862. It is also clear from the language of the first sec- tion of said act, which empowers the corporation "to lay out, locate, construct, furnish, maintain and enjoy a continuons railroad and telegraph, with the appurtenances," that the power conferred was personal, and carried with it a duty and an obligation which could net be transferred. The very same language which authorizes the construction and operation of the telegraph line also authorizes the con- struction and operation of the railroad, and the property in the one is as necessary to the performance of the public duties of the corporation as that in the other, The charter of the Company, with the amendments, considered as a whole, was manifestly intended to create a corporation which should be personally amenable to the government, in the exercise of the powers conferred, and which should in quasi public capac- ity perform the duties imposed, and render an aecount of its earnings. The purpose was not to authorize the construction of a line either of railroad or telegraph to be thereafter sold, leased or transferred to other parties, leaving the government to the chances of securing from or through the lessee or vendee its proportion of the earnings. This is made still more clear by the provisions of the act of June 20, 1874, amending the charter, which imposes upon the company and its officers and agents penalties for a failure to operate or use said railroad or telegraph, so far as the public and the government are con-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> opqhetfzlygvouovd6a9iqs5lm4cy8q Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/762 104 634457 15134741 15133028 2025-06-14T22:21:18Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: DEEAL → DERAL, KEDERAL → FEDERAL 15134741 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>754 FEDERAL REPORTER. the court would have said : "You must corne into this tribunal with clean hands; you must do equity before you can seek the aid of a court of conscience." The contention of the railroad company is that it should be permitted to take possession of the property in controversy without process or legal proceedings. While I am clear that the contracts under which the property is held by plaintiff are ultra vires, there is a dispute upon that subject, and such a dispute as in my judgment cannot be determined by the railroad company of its own motion. The right of rescission does not justify the railroad com- pany in taking possession ezcept by lawful means. The plaintiff has a right to be heard upon issue joined in a proper proceeding before being ejected. The present question is not ■whether the contracts should be rescinded and the property restored to the railroad company, but whether this should be done by the railroad company upon its own motion, and in a way to deprive the plaintiff not only of a hearing in the regu- lar course of this court, but also deprive it of the right of appeal. It is one thing for me to hold that the contracts are in my judgment ultra vires, and quite another to say to the railroad company, "You may tum the plaintiff out and take posses- sion without giving it a day in court." An injunction will often be granted to restrain a party from deciding for himself a question involving controverted rights, and to compel him to resort to the courts, and this without regard to the absolute merits of the controversy. It is enough that there is a controversy to justify a court of equity in direct- ing that it be settled by legal proceedings. Eckelkamp v. Schroeder, 45 Mo. 505 ; Varick v. New York, e John. Ch. 53 ; Dudley V. Trustees, 12. B. Monroe, 610; Farmers v. Beno, 53 Pa. St. 224; Sunsing v. Steamboat Co. 7 John. Ch. 162. The prineiple settled by these and many other cases is that a party who is in actual possession of property, claiming under color of title, is not to be ousted, except by the means provided by law, and such a possession the court will protect by in- junction from disturbance by any other means.

From the statements in these receipf.s King supposed that Gill had made an assignaient to him of the mortgage on the margin of the record; btit, in faet, Grill did not assign the mortgage of record. This, however, was not discovered by King until after Gill had absconded. Within three days after Gill had left, King gave formai notice of his claim to Ham- ilton Lacock. On September 11, 1877, Lacock paid Gill, for King, the first instalment of interest, for which Gill gave Lacock a receipt which states that the mortgage ia "now held by Mr. Wm. G. King." This interest Gill paid over to King. S. B. W. Gill was a member of the Pittsburgh bar, and until he left, in September, 1877, his professional standing was good, and he possessed the confidence of the community. I bave been thus particular, in stating every fact which I regard as material, bocause I am constrained to dissent from the conclusion of the learned master in respect to the con- flicting assignments to PoUock and King, which he thus states : "Neither of them being entered of record in the recorder's office, on the margin of the recorded mortgage, it is simply a question as to whose assignment was first delivered." And, treating the assignment to PoUock as delivered when it was deposited in the post-office on April 9, 1877, he reports a decree in his favor for the portion of the mortgage assigned to him. But the case, it seems to me, is not one for the application of the maxim, qui prior est tempore potior est jure^ There are here other considerations besides that of time, which cannot be ignored if we would reach a just conclusion. Mathew M. Pollock, it must be observed, parted with no money or other valuable thing upon the faith of the Lacock bond and mortgage. He had left in Gill's hands $1,000, to be by hina invested in a mortage at his discretion ; and uot in this particular mortgage, which was not then so much as mentioned. In confiding his money to Gill, Pollock, in the first instance, trusted exclusively to his personal responsibility and integrity.

G. 19; Kellogg v. Smith, 26 N. Y. 18. It is said in Jones on Mortgages, (vol. 1, § 476,) that, except under peculiar circumstances, a person acting in good faith would not take a mere written transfer of the mortgage title without a delivery of the mortgage itself, and the note ox bond secured thereby. Now, the actual good faith of Mr. PoUock is not open to ques- tion. But, unfortunately for him, he accepted such an assiga- ment as no ordinarily prudent man would have taken ; and it must be remembered that in bis previous interview with Gill this manifestly was the kind of assignment which Gill pro- posed to mail to PoUock, and which the latter then impliedly agreed to accept. After receiving his assignment he did absolutely nothing to make it efficient. He took no steps to have it made mat- ter of record, or noted upon the original papers, and he did not even give the mortgagors notice. Had he given season- able notice to Hamilton Lacock, it is highly probable that the double assignment would have been discovered in time to frustrate Gill's fraud and prevent this loss; for Lacock had contemporaneous information from Gill that King had ad- vanced the money on the bond and mortgage. William G. Eang, as we have seen, found the bond in Gill's hands, and the mortgage, if not in his actual possession, in the recorder's office, under his control, with nothing appear- ing upon either instrument to indicate any prior assignment. On the faith of the securities, without notice or means of knowledge of the assignment to Pollock, he made the purchase in perfect good faith, paying a fuU consideration. He imme- diately took the wise precaution of having the assignment to him put upon the back of the bond. He supposed, and from the receipts which Gill delivered to him he had good right to believe, that a proper assignment of the mortgage had been made on the margin of the record, in the customary way. But without such assignment the title to the mortgage passed to and vested in him ; for it is firmly settled that the debt<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> c6btf9naaqs1mcybreqw8uyq6ge5f58 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/770 104 634465 15134746 8169489 2025-06-14T22:21:59Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PEDEEA → FEDERA, removed: � (6) 15134746 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>762 FEDERAL REPORTER. sehedule was furnished by Clement, in accordance with the conditions of the policy, in which the goods lest were valued at $6,600. He also submitted to an examination on oath by an agent of the defendants, as required by the contract. There was evidence tending to show that some of his state- ments in the sehedule and examination — but more especially in the former — were false, though it was not admitted or directly proved that they were wilfully so. The insured became bankrupt after this, and the action was prosecuted by his assignees, and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiiïs. One point of law reserved at the trial has been argued with BO much zeal and ability, and is thought by the defendants to be of 60 great importance, that I have examined it with care, and shall give my views upon it at more length than its intrinsic difficulty may seem to require. There is a preliminary matter, which I will first dispose of. The proofs of loss, including the sehedule above men- tioned, were put into the case by the plaintiffs with the express avowal that they were offered and used merely to prove that the proofs had been duly made. The witnesse» who made the sehedule had it before them when they tes- tified, and many questions were asked them by both sides as to how it was made up, etc. The paper itself was not re- ferred to by counsel on either side, nor by the court, as evidence of value. The defendants asked me, in writing, to instruct the jury that the paper was not evidence of value. I neg- lected, by inadvertence, to give this ruling, ,and this is the first ground upon which a new trial is asked for. Inasmuch as not a word had been said throughout the trial which would lead the jury to suppose that the proofs of loss were evidence of value, but the value was most elaborately argued on both sides on wholly different grounds, and as the proposed in- struction was not read in the presence of the jury, so that my silence could not bave misled them, I think there was no error in this omission. The supreme court of Maine bave decided that, where such a paper is put in without objection, it is evidence for ail purposes; but I need not consider that point. Moore v. Providence Ins.

And then the section proceeds, the language used in section 31 of the act of 1873 and in section 5485 of the Eevised Statutes being preoisely the same : "Or who shall v^rongfully withhold from the pensioner or the claimant the whole or any part of the pension or claim allowed and due such pensioner or claimant, he shall be deemed guilty of a high misdemeanor. " It was an act passed after the act of 1870 in which this language is used. The clause in section 3 of the act of 1870 is preserved in section 4766 of the Eevised Statutes, which declares that "hereafter no pension shall be paid to any person other than the pensioner entitled thereto." So that hoth these parts of the Statutes of 1870 and 1873 are found in the Eevised Statutes, and the question is whether they cannot stand together ; whether, in other words, we ean reject section 6485 of the Eevised Statutes merely because it does not speak of the receipt of money by an agent, attorney or other person representing the pensioner, but merely mentions the withholding of the money from him. It seems to me that, taking ail this legislation together, while it indicates, perhaps, not quite so much care as there ought to be in legislating at different times upon the same subject, still it is the duty of the court to harmonize this varions legislation, and if practicable to reconeile one part with another.

The section contains a further provision that in case there is a' surplus, after payment of the debts peculiar to each part- ner or the individual member, it shall be paid to the creditors of the other. This section is a subsfcantial embodiment in statutory form of an equitable principle, which has long obtained both in England and this country, to the effect that partnership assets must go, primarily, to pay partnership creditors, and individual assets to individual creditors. In England, however, where the general rule originated, it is Bubject to certain well established exceptions, one of which is that, if the partner has fraudulently converted property or money of the firm to his own use, proof on behalf of the joint estate is allowed in respect of such property against his separate estate, and in competition with his separate credit- ors.

It is insisted, however, in opposition to the proof of debt in this case, that the exceptions mentioned to the English rule ought not to be incorporated into our bankruptcy System, and cannot stand, in the face of the express provision of section 6121, above quoted. There are some cases which undoubt- edly lend support to this theory. In the Somerset Potiers' Works V. Minot, 10 Cush. 592, it was held by the supreme court of Massachusetts that under the insolvent law of that state, which contained a provision simUar to that of the bank- rupt act, the net proceeds of the separate estate of each part- ner must be first appropriated to pay his separate creditors, and that this rule was not subject to any exceptions which would be admitted in England. It was said in that case that "if there be no joint property the creditors of the firm cannot, under the statute, share in the separate property pari passii with the separate creditors," although it was admitted that in<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 1tnp9ne79zqu3yijs16hxihbu7t69ki Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/828 104 634523 15134750 8169554 2025-06-14T22:22:03Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDBB → FEDER, TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (8) 15134750 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>820 FEDERAL REPORTER. whole elass of cases the rules of law are well settled, but they afford little or no aid in determining the questions that arise where the money or the property used by the firm is brought in through the fraud of one of the partners in abusing the trust confided to him by a third party. Where a third party loans money to a partner on his individual credit, his putting that money into the firm creates no contract between the firm and the lender, for the very obvious reason that it was the lender's intention to lend the money to the individual partner, and, as in such a case the money is ient without any restriction as to its use, the bor- rower may do what he likes with it, and what he does with it is no longer any concern of the lender; and, of course, it makes no difference whatever that the borrower's copartner happens to know, when the borrower pays it into the firm, that he bas borrowed it even for the purpose of lending it to the firm. If a partner, in applying for a loan, however, acts therein as s, partner and for his firm, then the firm will owe the money to the lender, even though he did not, at the time, know that the borrower was acting for his firm. At any rate, if he chooses to treat the firm as the borrower, he may do so as in any other case of an undisclosed principal acting through an agent. But it is unnecessary to refer especially to this «lass of cases, because the principles that govern the present «ase are not those that relate to the lending of money unat- tended by fraud or breach of trust. It is claimed by the learned counsel for the contesting «reditors that the rule of law is well settled that where a partner, coming into the possession of money by the abuse of his individual trust, or duty to a third person, puts that money into the firm without any knowledge of the fraud on the part of his copartners, no obligation arises on the part of the firm to pay back the money to the party who, as against the partner so wrongfully paying it in, could demand it ; that, though the guilty partner is liable to the person wronged, the firm is not liable ; that, though the party wronged, if he can trace the money distinguishable from other moneys in the<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> tl7ipsw7os808vvszhw0b4cfrm37yw4 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/866 104 634561 15134751 8169596 2025-06-14T22:22:04Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (8) 15134751 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>858 FEDUBAL REPORTER. cludes the defendant, as he bas not thought proper to appeal from the same, after submitting himself to the jurisdiction. This was not seriously controverted by his counsel at the hearing; but the application was mainly resisted upon the ground that the defendant had discovered that the said im- provements were not new either with him or with Bigelow, and that the Bigelow patent, on which this action was founded, as well as his own patent, was void for want of novelty. A new question is thus presented, and one by no means unimportant : Will the court allow a patentee, who has lost his rights to the protection of the law in consequence of proof that his alleged invention was anticipated by others, to proteet himself in the continued use of the patented improve- ments by showing that neither he nor the other party was the first inventer? In other words, whether the issuing of a patent estops the patentee from proving that the invention claimed therein is not novel. I think the answer depends entirely upon the fact whether the party has acted in good faith in the matter. Every one making application for letters patent is obliged to file therewith an oath that he believes himself to be the original and first inventer or discoverer of the art, machine, manufacture, composition, or improvement, for which he solicits the patent. Section 4892 of Eev. St. This is often done honestly, and yet untruthfully, owing to the ignorance on the part of the applicant of the state of the art. I can perceive no satisfactory reason why any one should not be permitted, after he has discovered his mistake, to set up the defence of want of novelty against another party, who claims an exclusive right to patented improvements which, in truth, belong to the public. But if one with a knowledge of the state of the arts surreptitiously attempts to appropriate to himself what he knows does not belong to him, he should be estopped, when his fraud is found out, from interposing such a defence, espeeially against a person whom the patent office has decided, as against his claim, to be the original and first inventer.

This case cornes before the court, upon a motion on the part of the defendants, for the stay of a pro- ceeding instituted by the plaintiff in this court, to punish the defendants for contempt, because of a violation by them of a perpetuai injunction, whereby they were restrained from making a certain form of bungs for caaks, described in a pat- ent issued to this plaintiff, and known as re-issue No. 5937. Of the many proceedings had in this court between these parties, arising eut of this patent, the following must be mentioned, in order to an understanding of the questions pre- Bented by this motion. In April, 1877, the plaintiff filed his bill in this court against the above named defendants, in which he set f orth the issuing of the said patent, and the infringement thereof by the defendants, and prayed to be awarded damages for said infringement, and a perpetuai injunction to restrain the de- fendants from using his invention in the future. After issue had been joined in that action, and on the third day of Janu- ary, 1878, an agreement of compromise was entered into between the plaintiff on the one side, and the defendants on the other, in which it was provided, among other things — First, that the defendants should admit the validity of the plaintiff's patent, and his exclusive right to the invention therein described, and that the defendants should cease in- fringing upon his rights as sole owner of the said invention ;<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> r0tj10aguqm55e4rw9vdqzbotyi52bw Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 1.djvu/882 104 634577 15134753 15133036 2025-06-14T22:22:06Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EPORTB → EPORTE, PORTEB → PORTER 15134753 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>874 FEDERAL REPORTER.

Certain baies of empty bags were shipped on an open-beam veasel, put up as a general ship, under a bill of lading stipulating for their delivery in good order, the " perils of the sea " exoepted. The bags were placed on a temporJiry deck of planks, covered with mats, directly over certain tierces of bleaching powder stowed in the lower hold. Hdd, that the ship was liable for the destruction of such bags caused by the fumes of the bleaching powder, set free by the pressure and workingof the cargo during heavy weather, without any negligence upon the part of those in charge of the vessel, in the absence of direct proof that such stowaga was necesaary to the trim of the vessel.

This is a suit to recover damages for injury done to baies of empty grain bags, shipped by the libellant at Liverpool for New York, under a bill of lading which stipu- lated in the usual form for their delivery in good order, "the perils of the sea" excepted. The bark was put up as a general ship. Her cargo consisted of 323 tierces and 40 casks of soda ash, 300 drums of caustic soda, 265 tierces of bleaching powder, 1,850 saoksof sait, 10,000 fire-brick, 1,703 empty petroleum barrels, 840 boxes of cutch, and 110 baies of bags, of which 67 were shipped by the libellant. There was some other miscellaneous cargo, of no great amount, which it ia unnecessary to mention in detail.

But as this small difference bas not been alluded to by counsel, I do not notice it. From the foregoing statement it is apparent that at the time Of the service of the attachment upon Patterson the only debt due Eadmann, attachable in the hands of Patterson or the owners of the Blagden, was the indebteduesa of the owners of the Blagden for address commission and freight brokerage. This sum, according to the eyideuce, became due Eadmann in New York, at the completion of the loadiag of the steamer, and it was therefore a debt attachable, as a credit of Eadmann with the owners of the steamer, at the time of the service of the attachment upon Patterson. But there was then no attachable credit arising out of the differ- . ence between the charter money and the freight list of the steamer, beoause the amount of that difference was due only in the event of the delivery of the cargo in Hamburg. Any liability for that difference in freight was dependent upon the performance of the voyage, and the collection of the freight according to the bills of lading. To an action in asaumpsit by Eadmann against Patterson, at the time the attachment was served, the perfect answer would be, that the excess of freight had not been coUected, and might never be. There being no cause of action by Eadmann against the owners of the Bladgen for this difference of freight, there was no such debt attachable in their hands. Such is the established law. Drake on Attachments, § 641 ; Keyea v. Milwaukee a St. Paul R. Co. 25 Wis. . But it is said Patterson, in bis answer as garnishee, had admitted an indebtedness for this difference of freiglit. If the proceeding on the part of Dent was against Patterson personally, to recover the amount of bis liability to Dent by reason of the attachment served upon him, there might • be force ia the suggestion that Patterson would be estopped ftdïUdeÀymg the existence of snch a debt.

The testimony of the man at the helm confirma that of the master as to the movements of the wheel; that the wheel was not got over under the first order, and the course of the bark was not altered by it. The testimony of ail the witnesses from the bark goes strongly to show that the vessels were very near together when first seen; that the speed of the steamer was very great ; that the time after sighting her was very short, and the suc- cession of events very rapid. The testimony of those on the bark is positive as to her course; that it was east by south, the wind being south-west; that until she luffed, just before the collision, her course was not to the southwardly of this ; that she had been keeping that course steadily till she sighted the steamer. The first contested question of fact is as to the course of the bark before she was sighted by the steamer. I think there is no doubt that those who observed her on the steamer thought she was on a course crossing that of the steamer to the southward when they first made her. This is not only the concurrent testimony of seven witnesses, but the fact is strongly sustained by the order of the master of the steamer to put the wheel "hard a-port."

And so the log says, with reference to the porting of the steamer, "instantly" the ship kept away. The star- boardiug of the steamer is represented as immediately fol- lowing on this movement of the ship, and the vessels were already in instant peril of an inevitable collision. Nothing can be plainer than that this oeBcial log makes the distance very short, and the time very brief, from the point where the ship was observed to be on her east by south course to leeward of the steamer's course, to the col- lision. The first orders given on the steamer also show that the distance was very short. The orders were "hard a-port" and "slow." Why should thb wheel have been put hard a-port, espeeially ' if, at the same time the steamer slowed, the approaching ship being but a quarter of a point on the starboard bow, and, as then observed. making a course to the southward of the steamer's course, if she were a mile, or even a half a toile, off ? The answer, as if anticipating this eriticism, character- izes the movement as made "for greater caution." It was indeed, if true, upon the relative positions of the vessels as given by the steamer, extreme caution, and so much so as to Buggest in itself a serious doubt as to the truth of the case ehe makes. At the distance apart of a mile, a comparatively slight porting of the wheel would have been all that was re- quired, if anything, to clear the bark, her movement being all the time to the windward of the steamer's course. But the master of the steamer is not only contradicted on this point by the necessary inferences to be drawn from the of&cial log, and by the probable inferences to be drawn from the measures he took on seeing the bark, but in his examina- tion before the receiver of the wrecks, dictated by himself, he expressly states the distance: "She appeared to be about one-fourth of a mile distant. Instantly put the helm hard a-port," etc. It is claimed, on the part of the steamer, that this docu- ment is not competent evidence in the cause. This is so.

Undoubtedly it bas been beld that "commerce" in- cludes navigation and every species of commercial intercourse, (9 Wheaton, 1,) but it bas also been held that, until congress does exercise the power given to it in such way as to mani- fest the intention to supersede or prevent state legislation, the states may, by law, prescribe such police regulations as are necessary to prevent the obstruction of its harbors and navigable waters, and the safety of vessels lying at anchor or moving thereon. These regulations have been held con- stitutional, and bave been recognized by the admiralty as im- posing duties on vessels which must be complied with. The General Clinch, 21 How. 184, In Cooley's Constitutional Limitations it is stated, as the resuit of the decisions, that "the state has the same power of regulating the speed and general conduct of ships and other vessels navigating its water highways, that it has to regulate the speed and con- duct of persons and vehicles upon the ordinary highway, Bubject to the restriction that its regulations must not coma in conflict with any regulations established by congress for foreign commerce or that between the states." I am of opinion that so much of the law as declares in what parts of the Annamessex river it shall not be lawf ul for vessels to anchor is a constitutional exercise of the rights of state legislation which the Eoach was bound to observe. As to the penalties prescribed by that act for violation of its provisions, they cannot be enforced in the admiralty. This court must apply to the case the general maritime rules applicable to a collision between two vessels, one of which is anchored in an improper place, not regarding so much of the act as declares that the vessel unlawfully at anchor shall in no case be entitled to recover for any loss resulting from a collision.

The bank is thus a proper and a necessary party, and, being a citizen of the same state with the plaintiff, the case is not a removable one, under sec- tion 2 of the act of March 3, 1875, (18 U. S. St. at Large, 470,) although the plaintiff and Lewis H. Bailey are citizens of different states. There is not in this case, as it now stands, any controversy between citizens of different states to which a defendant, citi- zen of the same state with the plaintiff, is not a necessary party, so as to make a case within the first subdivision of section 2 of the act of 1876 ,* nor any controversy which is wholly between citizens of different states, and which can be fully determined as between them without the presence of a defendant citizen of the same state with the plaintiff actually interested in such controversy, so as to make a case within the second subdivision of section 2 of the act of 1875. No case is cited where a removal has been allowed under section 2, under circumstances such as those which exist in the pres- ent case; In WehlY.

The rule, undoubtedly, is that a special demur/er to part of a bill must point out with eerfcainty the part demurred to. This is not only necessary for reasons of convenience, but, nnless the demurrer has this precision, there must be great uncertainty in the judgment, if a judgment is entered, sus- taining the demurrer. Atwell v. Terrett, 2 Bl. 0. C. 39. The defendant's counsel relies, however, on the case of Claridge V. Hoar, le Ves. Jr. 65, as an authority for rejecting the words "or elsewhere" as surplusage. That was not a case of a demurrer, but of a plea, and I think it hns no relevancy to this question. It would seem that if the demurrrer is sustained it must be sustained as a whole. And if that is so the judgment would evidently be uncerfcain as to what parts of the bill under the judgment on the demurrer the defendant would be cxcused from answering. But as bo+ h parties have also fully argued this demux'rer on the merita, as if it were a demurrer to the discovery sought in the enumerated interrogatories only, I have examined it as if the words "or elsewhere" Jiad been omitted or could be rejected. The bill alleges that the first mortgage bonds to which iliese interrogatories relate are void in the hands of the defendant, on several grounds ; and among other things alleged in re- spect to all of that class of bonds held by this defendant it ia stated in the bill that thoy had not the certificate of the trustees to their genuineness, as required by the mortgage. This defect is alleged as one of the grounds for holding them void in the hands of the defendant, who is also alleged to hold them with notice of their invalidity, and without having parted with value for them. The objection to these interrogatories is, as stated in f'o- fendant's brief, that "inasmuch as the bill only charges Macomb with holding uncertificated bonds, can the plaintiff have a discovery as to any other bonds?" It is also objected that the plaintiff is not entitled to any discovery as to any bonds not held by the defendant Macomb, The interrog; •<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> mpz8z7bhbm24oxl6esyp1g1k1xiew0g Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/39 104 639326 15134853 8170919 2025-06-14T22:23:42Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: REPOB → REPOR, removed: � (8) 15134853 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>83 FEDBEAi REPORTEIB. brances was not, according to the general current of American authority, one that run with the land. It was a personal covenant by Bruner, creating a pereonal liability on his pari to the plaintiff; and it ia difficult to understand, conceding that there was a lien, because of the existence of the taxes against the land at the time that the property was mortgaged to the plaintiff, when those taxes were paid, no matter by whom, how that lien was a still subsisting lien against the land. The taxes were paid. The tax lien had ceased to exist because there were no taxes due. In order to sustain the claim of the plaintiff we must hold that he was subrogated to the right of the public, or that the lien which existed by virtue of the taxes became operative in his favoi-, because there was a liabihty by virtue of the warranty against Bruner; and that this claim operated as a lien upon the land, to whomsoever it might be transferred. I do not think that principle can be sustained. I do not understand that any of the authorities cited by the plaintifif's counsel maintain that doctrine. Undoubtedly they hold that, where there is a warranty against encum- brances, the grantee can pay off a tax where a breach of war- ranty arises in consequence of a tax, and thus discharge the encumbrance, and charge the amount paid to the grantor. It is also true that if these taxes had not been paid by any one they would still operate as a subsisting lien upon the land, and that in whomsoever hands the title might be he would have to pay off the taxes before he could be said to have a title free and clear from ail encumbrances. It would be the same, I appreliend, if, instead of being a lien for taxes, there had been an unsatisfied judgment against Bruner, which operated as a lien upon the land. If the plain- tiff had paid off the judgment, I do not understand how he couid make the lien of that judgment operate in his favor, because of the claim which he would have against his grantor for a breach of the warranty. The judgment having been paid, the lien against the land would cease to exist. And so I think that the defendant, having agreed to pay the mortgage debt which was due upon the land, but having made no agree-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 4q8i3174yvnv2lkrtp9102xwgcuybra Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/71 104 639358 15134869 8171262 2025-06-14T22:23:58Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (8) 15134869 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>64 FEDERAL REPORTER. "by means not constituting an assault mit a dangerona •weapon." But this is necessarily avoided, and, in effect, ren- dered null, by tiie very statement of the commission of the alleged offence, that the defendant attempted to commit mur- der by shooting Eoy with a loaded pistol. Whether a particular weapon is a deadly or dangerous one is generally a question of law. - Sometimes, owing to the equivocal character of the instrument — as a belaying pin — or the manner and circumstanees of its use, the question becomes one of law and fact, to be determined by the jury under the direction of the court. But where it is practicable for the court to declare a particular weapon dangerous or not, it is its duty to do so. A dangerous weapon is one likely to pro- duce death or great bodily injury. A loaded pistol is not only a dangerous but a deadly weapon. The prime purpose of its construction and use is to endanger and destroy life. This is a fact of sucb general notoriety that the court must take notice of it. U. S. v. Small, 2 Curt. 242 ; U. S. v. Wil- ton, 1 Bald. 99. It appears, then, from the indictment, not- withstanding the averment therein to the contrary, that the act alleged to be an attempt to commit murder was an assault with a dangerous weapon, and therefore not punish- able by the statute. The motion in arrest of judgment must be allowed, and the defendant discharged. By this ruling the defendant will escape punishment for what appears to have been an atrocious crime, but the court cannot inflict punishment where the law does not so provide. It is the duty of the legislature to correct the omission or defect in the law, and it is to be hoped that the resuit in this case will attract the attention of congress to the matter at an early day.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 9mpcwnjk227irgihz1eaxlhyauqllwa Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/73 104 639360 15134870 8171283 2025-06-14T22:23:59Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: AIi → AL , TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (9) 15134870 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>66 FBCEBAL REPORTER. late commerce among the several states ;" also, of section 10, subdivision 2, of the same article, prohibiting the states from laying imposts or duties on imports. The statute of Nevada in question provides that "every traveling merchant, agent, drummer or other person selling, or offering to sell, any goods, wares or merchandise of any kind, to be delivered at some future time, or carrying sam- ples and selling, or offering to sell, goods, wares or merchan- dise of any kind similar to such samples, to be delivered at some future time," shall obtain a license, and pay for such license $25 per month. It further provides that any person ■without a license, "so offering any goods, wares or merchan- dise for sale, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on con- viction shall be fined in any sum not less than $50 nor more than $600." It is settled in the case of Woodruff v. ParKam, 8 Wall. 123, that the word "imports, " as used in subdivision 2, section 10, of article 1, of the Constitution, does not apply to goods brought from one state into another, but is limited to goods brought into the United States from some foreign country. The stat- ute of Nevada, therefore, does not violate that provision of the constitution. We think, also, that the same case and the foUowing case in the same volume (Hinson v. Lott, Id. 148) determine the other question raised, and that the statute of Nevada in ques- tion does not violate the constitutional provision conferring upon congress the power to regulate commerce among the states. Conceding, for the purpose of the decision, the license fees to be a tax upon the goods sold, there is no dis- crimination against the goods of other states in favor of the products of Nevada; but ail are taxed alike, and under those authorities where there is no discrimination the imposition of the tax is a legitimate exercise of the taxing power by the state. In Woodruff V.

He fonnd one sale, and evidence which inclined him to think that there might have been two or three more, and yet sustained the patent. I find myself differing from my eminent predecessor upon the effect of the evidence, and have had great doubts as to my duty. I have determined that, as new evidence bas been produced •which I must act upon, my action must be in accordance with my own views of its effect. I cannot under- stand the new evidence without opening the whole record, and I must act upon what I find in the old and new evidence together. In my opinion the evidence tends to show a sale of the invention. True, some sales were conditional; that is to say, the stoves were to be returned if they were not satisfactory to the buyers; but this does not, without further explanation, prove that they were experimental. It may show that the purchaser had doubts about the article, but does not prove any on the part of the seller. Sales in the usual course of business, whether absolute or conditional, if they are sales of the patented thing, work a forfeiture. A single sale has this effect, as well as a hundred sales. It is very unlikely that a buyer would take what he understood to be an experimental thing ; but if he did, the evidence should be unequivocal that a test of the invention was one of the purposes of the seller. This article could be tested by the inventer as well in his own house as in any other place ; and when he sold it in its com- pleted form, though with warranty or on condition, he sold it. Upon the facts, the stove appears to bave contained the invention, within the doctrine of Am. Tlide, etc., Go. v Am.

The question intended to be raised by the first reason assigned, in support of the motion to dismiss the present libel, is whether the proceedings authorized by the statute are the exclusive remedy for a seaman suing the vessel for his wages, or can he, without resorting to thia preliminary nieas- ure, apply to the court, and upon such application obtain ordinary process in admiralty against the vessel ? ïhis ques- tion has not hitherto been raised in this court, although the records show a number of instances where the same course was pursued in suits in rem for wages, as in the present case. The question, however, has reoeived the careful consideration of district judges of learning and large experience in admiralty cases, -who have held that the remedy conferred by the statute is not exclusive, but cumulative; and that the right of the seaman to arrest the vessel is not dependent upon a previous resort to the statutory proceeding, but that it is optional with him whether to pursue the preliminary measure of summon- ing the master, or make direct application for admiralty pro- cess.

The lease was not signed, but having been reduced to writ- ing, acted upon, and partly performed by both parties, it muBt be considered as binding as if signed. By its terms it was to continue in force during the life of the charter of the said Burlington & Missouri Eiver Eailroad Company in Ne- braska, and this, it is claimed, made it a lease in perpetuity, Whether this be true or not, the stipulated term was for a long period. It is insisted on behalf of the receiver that the contract or lease was ultra vires, and void. By the Eevised Statutes of Nebraska, § 152, p. 204, it-is provided that "any railroad Company * * * m^y mortgage or lease, sell or eon- vey, the whole or any part of its railroad situated within this state, and the rights, privileges, and franchises connected therewith, and other property pertaining thereto, to any per- son or persons, on such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon. * ♦ ♦ Provided, however, that no sale or purchase shall be made of a railroad situated within thi» state, of companies without this state, or consolidations ef- fected as provided in this act, until the terms of such sale or consolidation shall have been approved by a majority of the stockholders in interest, in person or by proxy," etc. It doe» not appear that the lease in question was approved by the stockholders, and it is therefore insisted that it is void under this proviso. It will be observed that the authority to lease is given in terms by the section quoted, while the proviso, in expressing the limitation upon that power, uses only the words "sale," "purchase," and "consolidation," omitting the word "lease." Unless, therefore, the contract in question amounted by its terms, upon a fair construction, to a sale by the Burlington & Missouri Eiver Eailroad Company in Ne- braska "of the whole or any part of its railroad," and the rights, privileges and franchises connected therewith, the lim- itation does not apply.

There is some confiict in the evidence about the surround- ing facta and circumstances. It is claimed the agent of the mortgagee agreed to permit the mortgagors to drive the entire lot of logs totheir mill, and manufacture and sell them. The evidence, however, does not satisfy my mind that such was the understanding. If I am right m my construction of the mortgage, then, manifestly, so far as the executions are concerned, the sheriiï cannot hold the property by virtue of any rights of the judg- ment creditors as against the plaintiiï. The absolute right of possession of the mortgaged property belonged to the plain- tiff on default by the mortgagors, which was prior to the seizure, by the sheriff, upon the executions. Authorities are numerous. See Edson v. Newell, 14 Minn. 228, aud citations. Can the sheriff avail himself of the rights which the statute gives certain laborers to secure liens and preferences for serv- ices performed ? There is some doubt about the construction of the statute of Minnesota, and the nature of the prooeedings nec. essary to establish and perfect the lien given by it. It is not necessary, in determining this case, to consider the rights of claimants under this statute. If the claim is an equitable one, then, coneeding that the lien claimants, by serving notice upon the sheriff, did all that is necessary to preserve their liens under the statute, it cannot avail the sheriff to defeat the plaintiff's right to the property mortgaged. The money in the hands of the sheriff far exceeds the amount of plain- tiff's claim, and the overplus is more than enough to secure payment for the services of the workmen, who urge prior liens under the statute ; and, if it is admitted that these workmen have a first lien on all the logs eut, or lumber manufactured, includingthe logs mortgaged to the plaintiff, the lien not being upon any specifie portion, the rule prevails that where there are two funds to which ;he other lien claimants can resort,<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ixczskmb263x1yj1mj9jls0agb2mxcq Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/141 104 639429 15134826 15133128 2025-06-14T22:23:16Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: REPOB → REPOR, ORTBB → ORTER 15134826 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>134 FEDERAL REPORTER. Nelson, D. J. The original suit was brought to set aside a deed executed by Julinah P. Atwater to John D. Seely, Jr., dated April 19, 1875. The bill contains a prayer, also, that certain real estate therein described be partitioned among the owners, or sold and the proceeds distributed according to the interest of the parties as alleged therein. A cross-bill is filed by the defendants, Seely and others, and affirmative relief prayed. The cases have been fully presented and argued upon the pleadings and proofs. The controversy involves the title to real estate claimed by the complainants in the original suit, as heirs at law of Jo- sephine Seely, and by the defendant John D. Seely, as the heir at law of her husband, John D. Seely, Jr. ; the other de- fendant, Norman G. Seely, being adminiatrator of his estate. The testimony is voluminous, and discloses a very bitter feeling on both sides. The foUowing facts are established by the proofs, and I so find : On August 12, 1873, John D. Seely, Jr., and Josephine, his wife, were in possession and seizedin fee of the north-west quarter of section fourteen, (14,) township one hundred and seven, (107,) range twenty-one (21) west, situatedinthecounty of Steele, Minnesota, and on that day, by warranty deed, they conveyed these premises to Julinah P. Atwater, a sister of Josephine Seely, for the consideration expressed in the deed of $6,000, when in fact no consideration was paid at the time of the conveyance, or ever has been, but the deed was executed and delivered from apprehension of a slander suit against John D. Seely, Jr., by one Prisley, and to prevent a lien of any judgment obtained in that suit. I also find that John D. Seely, Jr., made an attempt to create a secret trust for his benefit; and I further find that on October 14, 1873, Julinah P. Atwater, at , in the state of New York, by a quitclaim deed of the real estate above described, executed in accordance with the laws of the state of New York, conveyed the real estate in controversy to Josephine Seely, and the deed was delivered to and received by her, but was not so executed as to admit it to record according to the laws of Minnesota then existing, for the reason that there were no<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 68wtiik4fj65548fddui41lgil8ohqn Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/155 104 639447 15134827 15133129 2025-06-14T22:23:17Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: BBPORT → REPORT 15134827 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>148 , FEDERAL REPORTER.

Nos. 1,313, 1,314, On May 30 and 31, 1878, he was tried by jury in one case on a plea of not guilty, resulting in a mistrial. On May 31, 1878, after the jury were discharged and while the defendant was under bond for that (the May, 1878) term, and when no capais was outstanding for his arrest, nor any order for one entered, and when he was in court under said bond, the said defendant, with his counsel, in opeij court, (Judge Trigg presiding,) with his sureties, offered to enter into recognizances for his appearance at the following No. vember term, 1878, and was directed by the court to execute the bond before the clerk of said court, who at that time had not been appomted one of the commissioners of said court in addition to his appointment as clerk.

The defence most relied on is that the clerk had no au^hor- ity to takethis bond, and, having no authority, the scirefacias must be quashed. It is argued that this scire facias must speak by the record, strictly pursue it, and show by it the validity of the bond; that it was taken by a competent officer, and all the jurisdictional facts to support his action; that by this record it appears that the clerk, as of his own authority, took this bail bond, because the minutes of the court do not show that he took it by order of the judge sitting either as an officer authorized to hold to bail, or as a court acting ûnder its general powers in the premiaes ; and that inasmuoh as the clerk is not named in the Eevised Statutes, §§ 1014, 1015, as an officer authorized to hold to bail, the bond is void. In support of this position many authorities are cited show- ing how strict the practice was that the scire facias must be based on a record showing all the essential jurisdictional facts to support the validity of the proceedings and justify an award of execution.

Baldwin and Edward W. Burr, who constituted the firm of Theodore E. Baldwin & Co., to recover moneys alleged to have been fraudulently diverted from the assets of that firm to pay the individual debts of Baldwin, and also to recover a carriage fraudulently trans- ferred by Baldwin to the defendant Brewster, and to enjoin the proof of certain notes held by the defendants against the firm or Baldwin individually. The defendants are James B. Brews- ter and a manufacturing corporation, " J. B. Brewster & Co.," of which the defendant Brewster is the president and princi- pal stockholder. The bill alleges that the firm of Theodore E. Baldwin & Co. was formed on the tenth day of August, 1870, and was adjudged bankrupt November 25, 1871, upon a creditor's petition, filed November 6, 1871; that Burrhad no knowledge or experience in the business, which was that of selling car- nages at No. 786 Broadway, New York; that from January 1, 1860, to January 1, 1869, and again from March 1, 1869, to December 1, 1869, Baldwin and the defendant Brewster had been in partnership, carrying on a like business upon the same premises; that their business in 1869 had been largely unprofitable, their losses amounting to over $46,000; that<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ah84rboqxd8giurrtfy0dsm0m9gv8up Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/173 104 639472 15134830 14560657 2025-06-14T22:23:20Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, removed: � (8) 15134830 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>16S FEDERAL REPORTES. proved that the use of the copartnership assets " to pay Brewster's debt was without the knowledge or consent of Burr, that the contrary expressly appears by the testimony of Burr himself, who was complainant's witness. Brewster's interest in having Burr join Baldwin, and fur- nish capital enough to do a successful business, was that Baldwin might be able to pay off his debt to him. This was perfectly well understood by all parties, and one of the in- ducements held out to Burr to come in was that if he did Brewster would give up $20,000 of his debt against Baldwin, upon the balance of it being promptly paid. Baldwin was to tum into the concern all his business assets, which were very valuable. Under the circumstances, which it is nnneeessary to detail more at large, it would be absurdly improbable that there should be any other expectation or understanding between the parties than that after the formation of the firm Baldwin should go on and reduce Brewster's debt down to the limit of $20,000 by using the funds of the firm. Burr himself, who is alleged to have been defrauded by this having been done, testiiied that he expected Brewster to be paid ont of the pro- ceeds of the sales of the stock of goods which by the forma- tion of the copartnership was to become its property. He says, indeed, that as between himself and Baldwin he under- stood such payments were to be charged to Baldwin, and not to the firm. In other words, while he admits that he under- stood that Baldwin was to be allowed to use the firm's funds to pay Brewster, the firm did not assume as its own Bald- win's debt to Brewster. This qualification is of no impor- tance. It simply affects a settlement of copartnership ac- counts between Baldwin and Burr.

In the fall of 1877, Van Camp & Son were engaged in business at Indianapolis, in buying and selling apples and other produce, and in the manufacture and putting up of meats, fruits, etc. They had a storehouse at Indian- apolis, where they kept articles which they wished to hold for better priees. At that time they applied to the bank for a loan of $2,000. The bank agreed to make the loan upon the execution of a note by the bankrupts, with certain sure- ties, and on the condition that they would couvert their storehouse into a public warehouse of class "B, " by taking out a permit therefor under the statute, and would place the 800 barrels of apples, for the purchase of which they made the loan, in the warehouse, issuing warehouse receipts therefor<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> g9iqjf69v6yxz1uq28ddsddheoxm4x7 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/201 104 639509 15134832 8170713 2025-06-14T22:23:22Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: AIi → AL , TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (7) 15134832 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>194 FSSSBAL BSPORTER. were entitled, including that based on the want of juriadio- tion. I think this proceeding clearly estops the corporation from taking the ground that the judgments are an absolute nuUity in any collateral proceeding. The application could not have been withdrawn without leave of the court so as to reinstate the defendant in the position it was in, with respect to the judgment, before the application was made. It was not with- drawn before the bankruptcy. It was afterwards proceeded with to the knowledge and with the apparent concurrence of the assignees, and resulted in the validity of the judgments being established by the decision of the court. It is not nec- essary, however, to impute any particular efiBcacy to what was done after the petition in bankruptcy was filed. The corpo- ration was already bound by its election of remedies. If the judgments might have been treated as absolutely void, by reason of the fraud, for want of jurisdiction, it had a right to elect between treating them so and going into the court in which they were rendered as a party defendant therein, and submitting itself to its jurisdiction, and obtaining such relief as it was entitled to there. It chose the latter course, and its assignee is bound by its election. Tbus far it bas been assumed that the fraud is proved. I am not satisfied, however, that the notes were given to Mrs. Penny, as claimed, shortly before the suits were brought, and for the purpose of enabling her to bring'the actions in the marine court. The notes themselves bave nothing on their face to indieate that they were made long after their date. They are written upon blanks in use by the company at the time of their dates respectively, and not in use at the time the suits were brought. Mrs. Penny's testimony is positive that they were given at or about their dates. It is a point on which ehe eannot be mistaken. I have examined with care the testimony of this witness and of the other witnesses, and while there are certainly some inconsistenoies in her statements, and on some points she is seriously contradicted, I have not been able to reaoh the conclusion, to which the argument of the learned counsel for the complainants ear-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> es0v6cw3ooalq18mr68ofytl4f3s5jr Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/211 104 639519 15134833 14751740 2025-06-14T22:23:23Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO 15134833 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>204 FEDERAL REPORTER. ever had the right under the certificate to a perfect title to the land from the state. The contention on the part of the wife is that by virtue of the act of 1875 her right became eonsummated, the property having been sold under a judicial sale, and that is the ques- tion involved in the case. I think, under the general law of this state, that she is entitled to one-third of the interest which her husband had in this property at the time of thia judicial sale, precisely as though he had died. And in this respect I differ from the district judge. What does the language mean ? "In ail cases of judicial sales of real property in which any married woman has an inchoate interest by virtue of her marriage." The district court thdught the term "inchoate" was one applicable to a case where the husband had an absolute title, a complete seizin, in the land, and that it did not apply to a case where there was merely an equitable interest, because in the one case the right of the wife could not be divested without her consent, and in the other it was in the power of the husband at any time to deprive her of her right ; the language of the statute being express that she is only vested with the right to an equitable estate which her husband may own at the time of his death. But I am inclined to think the term is applica- • ble to both kinds of estate — as well to the equitable interest as to the absolute interest in fee simple. Does it cease to be an inchoate interest simply because the husband has the power of disposition over the land ? I think not. It seems to me that where a married man has an equitable interest merely in land, that under the general law of this state, and within the meaning of this particular statute, it may be truly said that the wife has an inchoate interest in the land by virtue of her marriage, because if the husband retains that interest up to the time of his death the inchoate right becomes eonsum- mated. The only qualification is that he can deprive her of the right by disposing of the land. Now, the statute of 1875 intended to place the rights of married women upon the same footing, in case of a judicial sale, as if the husband had died.

The con- struction of sùch a table as herein shown and described is no more expensive than one with the vertical aides, and may be Drnamented and elaborated to the same extent that other tables can be, while at the same time the inclination or obliq- uity given to the aides, and the consequent location of the legs further under the table, give to the whole machine or contrivance a lighter and more beautiful appearance. "It will be understood that the angle of inclination of the sides, /, may be varied somewhat from the position or incli- nation shown, without departing from the spirit of my inven- tion, the gist of which rests in the idea of having the planes of the broad rails, /, so inclined or bevelled under as to per- mit the placement of the player's leg and foot as I have explained, and so combined and arranged with the bed and cushion raUs of the table as to afford the most effectuai and permanent support of the bed by the said broad rails.

By reference to the figure drawn at figure 2 it will be seen that the player can so extend his leg under the table, when made as shown, as to enable him to reach further over the bed, which is a great convenience, and enables the player to easily reach many shots, which, on the table as now made, have to be played with the bridge." The claim is in these words : "The design for billiard tables, as herein shown and described." The specifie defence set up in the answer, in connection with the design patent, i^ that the invention patented by the mechanical patent was described in the design patent before it was invented by the plaintiff. What exact defence is intended by this statement it is diffieult to see. In argument it is contended for the defendant that, as the mechanical patent was issued December 23, 1873, more than two years after the issuing of the design patent, which was issued June 6, 1871, the mechanical patent is void because the original mechanical patent describes and claims the same thing which is described in the design patent. The application for the mechanical patent was filed January 16, 1872. The statu- tory defence allowed by section 61 of the act of July 8, 1870, (16 U. S. St. at Large, § 208, now § 4920 of the Kevised Statutes,) is that the thing patented "had been in public use or on sale in this country for more than two years before the patentee's application for a patent, or had been abandoned to the public." No such defence is set up in the answer, nor is any such defence proved by the evidence. The fact that the original mechanical patent was issued more than two years after the design patent is of no importance.

The legal presumption is always in favor of the re-issue, and that it is for the same invention as the original; and the defendant not fumishing the court with the means and opportunity of deciding the question by a comparison of the two, it must be held that this branch of the defence has failed, and that the complainant is entitled to hold, and to carry back to the respective dates of the original patents, all that the re-issues claim. This may have an important bearing upon that part of the defence, which relates to the priority of invention by other patentees; for, not including the distinct! ve claims of the complainant's patent No. 162,886, all his other patents an- ticipate inventions which are subsequent to the month of July, 1869. 1. As to the infringement. The essential parts of the pat- ents of the complainant, when embodied and combined in a working machine for knitting, show a needle cylinder, in com- bination with a eylinder carrying cams, which actuate the needles, and a sliding ring to which the yarn carrier is se- cured, together with a ring clasp for keeping the needles in position. A machine (Bxhibit E) was put in evidence which was constructed in accordance with the claims of his several patents. It consisted of a stationary needle cylinder, grooved to hold the needles in a vertical position. Around this was a rotary cylinder, with a portion of its periphery formed with a projection, on which the heels of the needles rested. To this cylinder were attached the actuating cams, which oper- ated on the heels or butts of the needles, and which accom- plished the knitting by the alternate elevation and depression of the needles. The defendant also brought in machines (Nos. 2e and 25) to show what he was manufacturing and selling. Being re- quested by his counsel to point out in what respects they dif- fered from the Bickford machine, he replied that in No. 24, instead of the swing cam, he used a curved piece of metal, secured to the cylinder, the ends of which projected above the needle rest ; and that in No. 25 he used the swing cam siu»- ilar to those in the Leech machine ; but, instead of emplôying<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> s6gcc9fkijao7kyh1f5wyx0he849q92 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/225 104 639533 15134837 8170739 2025-06-14T22:23:27Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (10) 15134837 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>218 FEDERAL REPORTER impressed upon certain divers prints of small balloons, with printing for embroidery and cutting Unes, to the number of 34 of said balloons, and for which said defendants had net ob- tained a copyright, and which had not and have not been copy- righted, the foUowing words: 'Copyrighted 1878, by Drey- f uss & Sachs, No. 7577,' and against the form of the statute, and with intent to deceive the public and evade the statute, whereby and by virtue of the statute the said defendants have f orf eited and become liable to pay to -the plaintiff the sum of $3,400 penalties, etc.; being $100 for each of said 34 viola- tions aforesaid of said statute," etc. Then foUows an aver- ment of a demand and refusai, and prayer for judgment in the sum of $3,400.

The third complaint is in six counts, each of which is in similar form, for a penalty of $100, for impressing said words on "a certain print of large balloon, with printing thereon for cutting lines," and prays judgment for $600 penalties. The fourth complaint is similar in form, charging the im- pression of the same words upon "prints of hanging baskets, with printing for embroidery and cutting lines," to the num- ber of six of "said hanging baskets," and prays judgment for $(500 penalties. To the first, second and fourth complaints, and to each count in the third complaint, the defendant has demurred on the ground "that it does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action." Upon the argument of the demurrers the defendant has contended that an informer is entitled to recover but one penal- ty, of $100, for ail violations of law prior to the commencement of his suit ; and, also, that Rev.

It prays for a discovery of profits and of damages. The bill is demurred to beeause Spofford is not made a party, and beeause Goldsmith is made a party. It is provided by section 4919 of the Eevised Statutes that "damages for the infringement of any patent may be recov- ered by action on the case in the name of the party interested, either as patentee, assignee, or grantee." Jurisdiction is given to the circuit courts, by section 629, of all suits in law or in equity arising under the patent laws. It is provided by section 4921 that, upon a decree being rendered in any case for an infringement, the complainant shall be entitled to recover, "in addition to the profits to be accounted for by the defendant, the damages the complainant bas sustained thereby. " The clear purport of these provisions is that the party in interest must bring the suit, whether at law or in equity, in bis own name, and cannot delegate the right to another per- son to bring the suit in the name of such other person, when the suit is not for the beneôt in any way of such other per- son. It is a question of public policy. The defendant bas a right to require that the real owner or party in interest shall be in court, so that the court may exercise a control over him, in the course of the suit, if necessary, to require him to do something which the rights of the defendant may require to be done. Goldsmith has no control as to the patent, or any- thing to be done under it, except to bring suits in respect of Spofford's interest.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ryp3jw6t64f4pdrzkp7yrwo90448ciq Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/253 104 639562 15134840 8170771 2025-06-14T22:23:30Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, removed: � (7) 15134840 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>246 FEDERAL REPORTER. In regard to the presence of the libellant in the between- decks, the evidence shows that he was net there by the mere sufferance or license of the ship-owner, but for the purpose of performing a service that could not be performed elsewhere, and in which the ship-owner had an interest. To be sure, the libellant was not directly employed by the ship-owner, and it may be truly said that no relation by contract existed between the ship-owner and the libellant. But the libellant was trim- ing the ship-owner's ship. He was doing what was necessary to be done to enable the ship to carry the cargo in safety, and the reason why he was so employed was because the ship- owner had, by a contract with the charterer, indirectly pro- vided for the performance of this service. There was a relation between the ship-owner and the libel- lant arising, not out of the mere presence of the libellant on board the ship, but out of the service he was then engaged in performing, the necessity of that service to the ship-owner, and the circumstances of the libellant's employment toperform that service. The libelant had, therefore, a right to be where he was; and it folio ws that there was a duty on the part of the owner to see to it that the dunnage and plank stowed above him were so secured as to prevent its falling upon him of its own weight. Nicholson v. The Erie R. 41 N. Y. 533. The libellant's case differa from the case of the Germania, to which reference bas already been made. In the case of the Germania a charterer of the ship had contracted to deliver to the ship a cargo of grain in bags. The libellant was employed by the charterer to sew up the bags of grain as they were filled, and while walking over the deck of the ship fell through an open hatchway and was injured. In that case it was not necessary that the bags be sewed on board the vessel, or indeed to be sewed at ail except to enable the charterer to per- form his contract to deliver the grain in bags. In this case the grain could not be carried unless it was trimmed on the ship, and the libellant was injured while engaged in perform- ing that service.

Mark Davis was fireman on duty at the same time. John Sherman was second engineer, and was relieved by Moultrie at 6 o'clock. When Moultrie relieved him he told Sherman that when the latter came on watch again that night he should keep a strict lookout for everything, and to be sure to keep his eyes on the pump and to see that it continued to work. At the time of the explosion, Moultrie, the engineer, was in his UBual position, in f ull view of the glass and water-gauges. The explosion was preceded by a humming or whistling noise, and water and ashes came from under the port boiler and were blown forward. The testimony touching the character of Moultrie, the en- gineer on duty when the explosion took place, was conflicting ; some of the witnesses spoke of him as a sober, careful and competent engineer, and very faithful and attentive to his duties. One witness, however, stated that about two weeks before the explosion he saw him on the wharf at Savannah, while the boat was getting up steam, so drunk as to be unfit to run an engine in any steamer, The witness said he spoke to Mr. Benson, the agent of the boat, about the condition of Moultrie at that time, and Mr. Benson said the company in- tended to get rid of him as soon as possible. The evidence showed that the boilers and machinery of the boat were in good order and repair just before the explosion. The boilers had been repaired and inspected in August pre- ceding, and a short time before the trip on which the explo- sion occurred had been cleaned out, and were apparently Sound and good. The pump was a good one, and had never been known to fail. There was a glass water-gauge, and there were water-cocks for ascertaining the quantity of water in the boilers. The evidence showed that it was necessary to try the water-cocks, as well as to examine the glass water-gauge, in order to ascertain the height of the water in the boilers; that it waa<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> e1o867y83h2qfop2v94pzu9ou783hj8 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/265 104 639575 15134842 14560701 2025-06-14T22:23:32Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (9) 15134842 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>258 riSDEBAL BKPORTER. slackened between the seas in consequence of the force of wind and sea. Whether the line was slackened from any other cause does not satisfactorily appear. As to the distance west from the end of the south pier when they turned to corne in witnesses do not agree, and this fact does not seem to us at all controUing. The evidence establishes, in our opinion, that there would have been no difficulty in bringing the tow in safely had the Bchooner carried no part of her mainsail, and the question of liability appears to us to turn upon whether the tug or the schooner is responsible for so much after sail being carried from the time when the turn was made to corne in. The tow was from 120 to 180 feet in the rear of the tug. It was in the night, and in our opinion, unless the tug had assumed to take entire control and direction of the vessel, it was the latter's fault if she had up part of her mainsail. To apply Buch rule is to do no more than to require of the cap- tain of the schooner the exercise of that measure of care and skill which is incumbent on the tow. The Margaret, 94 U. S. 496; The Margaret, 5 Bissell, 357. In the latter case it is said there are certain duties incumbent on those who have the management of the tow. It is the duty of the tow to be steered properly ; to foUow in the wake of the tug, and to per- form all those duties which nautîcal skill demands in order to properly manage the tow. It is manif est that if the tow, at a critical point, when about to enter the harbor, carries such sail as to take her out of the control of the towing craft, either as to her headway or course, the tug should not be held at fault for any disaster that en- Bues. We entertain the opinion that the libel should be dismissed, and deoree accordingly, with costs to claimant.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> rdmi49zjflzh9sqwyyiu4xmwfxqfkp7 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/269 104 639579 15134843 15133142 2025-06-14T22:23:33Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EPORTB → EPORTE, PORTEB → PORTER 15134843 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>262 FEDBEAL REPORTER. contract price and the market price. His losg was $486.78. The evidence on this subject appears in the testimony of Joseph Nixon, at page 67 et seq., and of John F. Kelling, at page 146 et seq. It does not appear that there was any market for coal at New Cumberland, or that the libellant could have done anything to avert or lessen the loss. The respondents insist that they ought not to be charged with this loss.' But why not ? Upon what just principle can it be thrown upon the libellant ? His loss was neither re- mote, speculative nor uncertain. It was an actual loss, and the direct resuit of the collision. If the rule of indemnity or compensation is to prevail, the damages decreed to the libel- lant should embrace the loss he sustained on his coal. It has been held that the owner of the injured vessel may re- cover for freight lost by reason of the collision. The Atlas, 3 Otto, 307, And in Van Tine v. The Lake, 2 Wall. Jr. 62, there was an allowance for loss of profits to the vessel during the time she was being repaired. Was the libellant's loss on his coal any less direct or certain than sueh loss of profits, or a loss of freight earnings ? I am of opinion that the second item of the libellant's claim is well founded and should be allowed. Third. But the item as set down in the bill of particulara — "loss on trip, $612.49" — stands on a different footing. This estimate is made by the libellant upon a comparison of the net earnings of the hoat upon a prior and subsequent trip. His opinion as to this supposed loss is no doubt an honest one. But his own witness, J. W. Clarke, in answer to a question as to the probable profits of that trip, said : "It is a pretty hard thing to figure that thing up. If she made a steady trip she wouldn't make very much." Page 187. If it be conceded that such loss of profits would be allowable in a proper case, the claim as here presented, it se.ems to me, is not satisfac- torily established. It rests largely upon mere conjecture. Moreover, after the interruption of llj days, the trip was resumed and completed. A more reasonable claim set up by the libellant is that for<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> lcn812sl19w8ctknilohhijmnkfboir Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/273 104 639583 15134846 8170794 2025-06-14T22:23:35Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (8) 15134846 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>266 FEDERAL SEPORTER. It was admîtted that the master or owner mîght hiiuBelf procure a homeward charter if he could, and would not then be bound to pay a commission to any one; or, if he pleased and could find another broker who would act for him, he might employ another broker without incurring any liability to the consignee. It was, therefore, only a probability of employment and consequent compensation which the respondents would have acquired by having the vessel consigned to them, with the certainty that the business of entering her on her arrivai and such other service as they might perf orm while she was under the existing charter they would have to perform gratuitously. In the case of Phillips v. Briard, 1 H. & N. 21, the stipula- tion in the outward charter-party was, "the ship to be con- signed to charterer's agents in China free of commission on this charter;" language precisely similar in effect to the stip- ulation in the present case. The offer was to prove a usage by which consignees under such a stipulation were entitled to procure a homeward cargo for the ship and to charge the usual commission on the freight whether they procured it or not, provided they were prevented from procuring it by the owner or master procuring it himself or otherwise than through their agency. But the court held that this usage was not admissible as against such a stipulation, as it would be adding to the plain language of the charter-party another and a different allega- tion, and would be in effect saying that because the vessel was consigned to the charterer's agents "free of commission" on the outward voyage, they were to be entitled to a commis- sion on the homeward cargo, whether they were employed to procure it or not, which would be not explaining but adding to the written contract. Now, if there could be no recovery under the present stipu- lation — supposing the owner to have actually consigned the ship to the ship-brokers, and then to have, immediately on her arrivai, put her into the hands of another , broker — it is difficult to see what positive and certain damage could arise from the breach of the stipulation to consign her to them.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> hfsn1l94m19wchigqgjxgpzhj3qdjzo Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/279 104 639589 15134847 8170800 2025-06-14T22:23:36Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (6) 15134847 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>272 FEDERAL REPORTER. pearance was ever entered in behalf of these libellants.

Nebraska. At the time that judgment was rendered Nuck- olls, the defendant therein, was seized in fee of the premises, and the judgment was therefore a lien upon the same. Sub- sequently to the rendition of said judgment W. P. Kellogg, under whom the plaintiflf claims, became the owner of the land, subjeot to the incumbrance, and desiring to pay off the judgment and remove the encumbrance he applied to one Meredith, who was the attorney of record for the judgment plaintiff, and paid to him the amount of the judgment, includ- ing interest and ail costs, except about six dollars due as clerk's costs, which latter was due to defendant Chandler, who ■was clerk of said state court when the proceedings resulting in said judgment were had. Meredith gave Kellogg a receipt in full for the amount of the judgment, interest and costs. There is a conflict between Kellogg and Meredith as to the question how, and by whom, the clerk's costs were to be paid; Kellogg saying that Meredith promised to pay them, and Meredith insisting that Kellogg agreed to do so. The clerk to whom the costs were due (defendant Chandler) had gone out of office and was not then in Nebraska- When he subsequently returned and learned that Meredith had receipted in full for the judgment and costs, he called upon him and demanded his costs, which, not being paidj he applied to his successorin the clerk's office andprocured the issuance of an execution therefor, under which the land in question was sold and bought in by Chandler. The sale was afterwards confirmed by said district court, by which it is claimed that certain grave irregularities were cured. A deed was made by the sheriff to Chandler, ■who afterwards conveyed to defendant Paxton. Pive years after the judgment Kellogg moved to set aside the sale. The motion was overruled, but upon what ground does not appear. 1. It is insisted that the matters complained of by the plaintiff were finally adjudicated in the state court by the order confirming the sale and the subsequent order overruling the motion to set the sale aside.

The same day Hoar conveyed the same promises to Mrs. Corse for a nominal consideration of $10,000, subject to two mortgages, one dated January 3, 1868, for $4,000, and the other dated August 2, 1869, for $3,000, both mortgages being executed by Corse and his wife, and which she assumed in the deed from Hoar to her. The property was at the same time, to- getherwiththeadjoining property, which had been purehased by Corse to improve the brick-yards, subject to a mortgage for $6,000, executed by Corse and his wife, not mentioned in the deed. This last-uamed mortgage has been foreclosed, and Mrs. Corse's equity in the property has been thereby extin- guished. But in her account she gives the bankrupt credit for $10,000 on account of the transfer to her of this property. He was at that time embarrassed, and she undertook, for a few months after the transfer, to oarry on the business, her husband acting as her agent. The bankrupt and his wife both testify that at the time the release to the executors was executed, in the year 1868, an agreement between them was drawn up by Judge Suffern, county judge of Ulster county, respecting the property which Mr. Corse had received on her account, which agreement was destroyed by fire when their bouse was burned.

By later decisions this point is clearly established. It is clear, therefore, from these àuthorities, that for this wrongful use of these trust funds by the partnership the part- nership and its members have become chargeable, and that a joint and several claim was thereby created against the joint and several estates. Can an administratrix de bonis non sustain suoh proofs ? It is certainly for the interest of all concerned in the York estate, ■whether as creditors, legatees, heirs, or sureties on his admin- istrator's bond given by Jordan to the judge of probate, that these proofs should be sustained, if possible, in behalf of the administratrix de borda, so that the fund may pass under her control and be administered according to law as part of the assets of the estate ; and, after some deliberation, I am satis- fiod that it may be so donc. By the law of this state, (Eev. St. c. 72, § 15,) the judge of probate may expressly authorize any party interested to com- mence a suit on a probate bond for the benefit of the estate, and the judgment and execution, by section 17, are recovered by the judge of probate in trust for all parties interested in the penalty of 'the bond, and he shall require the delinquent administrator to account for the amount of the same, if still in office ; but if not, he shall assign it to the rightful admin- istrator, to be coUected and the avails thereof accounted for and distributed, or otherwise disposed of, as assets. This statute bas so far changed the common law, as declared by the supreme court of the United States in 16 Wallace, {Bull v. New Mexico,) that that decision is no longer applicable in this state. As the law now is, not only the funds belonging to the estate in the hands of the administrator at his death or removal are assets which go to the new administrator, but all sums recovered from him and his bondsmen for breach of his duty as administrator are to be received by the new adminis- trator and treated as assets. Any dif&culty which might otherwise arise from a want of privity between the old administrator and the new is thus obviated, and by a reasonable construction of this statute it foUows that in a proceeding of this nature the new adminis-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 9pz7xy4tg2gob29dtwjm25oqajlw9xv Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/349 104 639660 15134851 8170873 2025-06-14T22:23:40Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PEDEBAL → FEDERAL, TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, L EKPORT → L REPORT, removed: � (6) 15134851 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>342 FEDERAL REPORTER. defendant should do this at the New York office, either himself or by the employment of clerks. The defendant says in his testimony that the clerks are paid by the government. This is doubtless true, in practical effect, so far as he isconcerned; still, it is to be presumed that the business is done according to the law, and he probably did not intend to testify that it was in any respect done contrary to the law. The lawis that the postmaster general may allow to.the postmaster at New York city, and to certain others, ont of the surplus revenues of theirrespective offices — that is to say, the excess of box rents and commissions over and above the salary assigned to the office — a reasonable sum for the necesssary cost, among other things, of clerks, to be adjusted on a satisfactory exhibit of the facts. Eev. St. § 3860. The defendent is, therefore, to be taken to have made this saving out of moneys actually received into his hands from the profits of his office. He saved it by using the invention in the performance of duties which he was required to do, and bad just so much more money left in his hands by reason of the infringement when the duties were done. He did this as postmaster, but he was not obliged to do it. . He could have refused the office, or resigned it, or have let this invention alone. He was not subject to any restraint, phys- ical or moral, that he could not make subservient to his own choice, His choiee was to use this invention and make this gain. When made it belonged to the orator. He paid it over to the government, and it passed beyond his reach and the orator's, unless it is recovered in this suit and reim- bursed to him under the law. He bas not these profits now, and would not have them if he had cast the money into the sea ; he bas had them as he would have had them then. The situation of the defendant is very different from that of the city of Elizabeth, in FÀizahetk v. Pavement Co. 97 U. S. 126.

These causes haye been heard upon mo- tions of the plaintiff for attachments for contempt for viola- tion of the injunctions therein. The patent on whioh the Buits are brought has been sustained for a continuously revolving and progressive boring head, anned -with dia- monds for cutting rock, having a hollow central drill-rod, tbrough -which water is carried to the cutting diamonds, com- bined and forming a part of a machine to be suitably con- Btructed for imparting the motion. The injunction restrains the use of machines made in the infringement of the patent during its term, which has now expired. The defendants are using machines made during the term of the patent, ■which carry boring heads and drill-rods made since the patent expired, according to its specifications. The patented de- vices are themselves a machine to be operated by other machinery, Connecting them with propelling power not de- Bcrihed in the patent. The claims of the patent do not cover, nor show any attempt to cover, any combination of these cutting devices with the propelling machinery. A patent for a combination of new elements with old may secure the new elements by them- selves as well as the combination. Sellera v. DicJànson, 6 Eng. Law & Eq. 64e; Union Svbgar Refinery v.

Missouri was a contract governed by the laws of Illinois or Missouri, and it was held to be an Illinois contract, and gov- erned by the law of that state. The court say: "The con- tract to pay the biU was a different contract from that of aeceptance." The paroi promise, being valid by the law of Illinois, was valid everywhere. This was ail it was necessary to decide ; and while the statement of the general principles of the law rela- tive to contracts made in one state to be perf ormed in another is entitled to great respect, from the high authority of the court from which it was enunciated, it is not controlling upon the present question, and will be found quite inadequate in its application to a great variety of cases which present ques- tions of the conflict of laws. So far as the validity of a con- tract depends upon the formalities requisite to its binding force, the general rule expressed by the text writers is that the test depends upon the law of the place where the contract is made. Westlake, art. 175. An illustration is the case of an unstamped contract, made in a country where a stamp is required. Even in this case the authorities conflict, and Judge Story says it might be different if the contract were payable in another country, where no stamp is required. See Story Confl. of Laws, § 260, and notes. Wharton, (Conflict of Laws, §^401,) states the general rule thus: "Obligations, in respect to their modes of solemnization, are subject to the locus regit actum." The validity of a contract may depend upon the capacity of the parties, or the forms of authentica- tion, or the nature of the consideration ; and it certainly cannot be accepted as an universal criterion that the validity or invalidity of a contract is to be determined by the law of the place where the contract is made. As respects the capacity of parties the law of domicile may dominate the law of the place of the contract when rights of person as distinct from rights of property are concerned, (see 2 Parsons on. Cont. 572, 574, and notes, 5th Ed. ;) and, as respects the consideration matter, a contract may be invalid by the law of the place of the making, because prohibited by the local law, and jet be valid when to be performed in<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 9fcx5lkpwkh1mmmsis2y83fgyajig85 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/435 104 639755 15134855 14560802 2025-06-14T22:23:44Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EPORTB → EPORTE, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (8) 15134855 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>428 FEDERAL REPORTER. eau have no influence here, and her case must stand or fall hy the inflexible rules whioh, while they may be harsh in the particular case, are, nevertheless, the universal test. The fact that marriages between persona so related are so commonly prohibited by legislation in those communitiea wbich are among the most advanced in moral and intellect- ual progress, must be deemed high evidence of the generally prevailing sentiment on the subject. Whether this senti- ment finds its origin in the mandate of divine law or the belief that such unions are a violation of the physical laws of nature, or in the conviction that to tolerate such alliances ■would impair the peace of families and lead to domestic licentiousness, its existence must be acknowledged, and traced to some or all of these sources. The statutes of Henry VIII., prohibiting such marriages, are but a re-afSrmation of the Levitical law. Regina v. Chad- wick, 12 Eng. Jurist, 174. While the Levitical law is not binding as a rule of municipal obedience, it bas been judi- cially declared to be a moral prohibition, and as such bind- ing upon all mankind, (Harrison v. Buswell, 2 Vent. 9,) and is now incorporated into the statutes of England by the acts of 5 and 6 William IV., c. 54. In Illinois it is held that such a marriage "is prohibited by the laws of God," within the meaning of a statute of that state, Bonham v. Badgley, 2 Gilman, 622. In Parker' s Appeal, 44 Penn. St. 309-312, the court, while holding that such a marriage was not void under the laws of Pennsylvania, took occasion to say: "We cannot refrain from stating that such connections are destructive of good morala, and should be frowned upon by the eommu- nity." Between what degrees of consanguinity the line is to be found, which determines what marriages are unobjectionable and what are not to be tolerated, it is not necessary to decide; but the better opinion would seem to be that marriages should not be sanctioned in any nearer degree than that of cousins- german, A marriage between uncle and niece, or nephew and aunt, would certainly shoek the sentiment of any enlightened community, and this, in the absence of any other test of the<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> st483lse1ujepptjulg9n4bqy8j5cov Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/465 104 639788 15134856 15133154 2025-06-14T22:23:45Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EPORTB → EPORTE, PORTEB → PORTER 15134856 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>458 FEDERAL REPORTER. plea, have duly presented the same to the court, or otherwîse he would be debarred from asserting it. This was not done by him. The defence of want of jurisdiction under such cir- cumstances is purely technical, and the bankrupt bas chosen not to present it and insist upon it. Creditors of the bank- rupt are in no respect damnified by the conduct of the bank- rupt. Whatever their rights may have been they are still in full force, and nothing has transpired which can in any way injure any one of the creditors. It is said very often in the books that an assignee in bankruptcy is not estopped by fraud of the bankrupt, but by this ia understood a fraud which in some way may prove detrimental to the rights of creditors. The circuit court has prescribed its rules as to the methods and times at which objections to its jurisdiction must be pre- sented for determination, and if, upon the record as it stands, the court has jurisdiction, and the defendant does not, within the rules, make manifest his objection, he will be forever estopped from availing himself of it ; and so, likewise, will be ail other parties who are in privity with such defendant. If a party has in apt words duly averred his citizenship, in an action instituted by him in the circuit court, and the defendant at the proper time fails to controvert it, the ques- tion of citizenship is no longer open to inquiry, either on the part of the defendant or any one claiming under him, smi according to well-settled principles his assignee in bankruptcj cannot be heard to deny such citizenship of the plaintiff. The case is clearly within the rule hereinbefore stated, as taken from the opinion of the supreme court in Yeapman v. Savings Institution. If the court is willing to accept the allegations and assume jurisdiction, and hear and determine the cause, all the fraud which has been perpetrated has been practiced upon the court, and in the present case, in the opinion of the court, each party has been alike involved in it. The court has thus been induced to act and assume a jurisdiction which it should not have been called upon to do, but the judgment itself is en- tirely valid, and the rights of the parties cannot be said to<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> isdkmgosl4sbeshbcubxrzrca2q72po Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/487 104 639823 15134857 14644101 2025-06-14T22:23:46Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: tliing → thing, POBT → PORT, PORTEB → PORTER, FEDERAI → FEDERAL, removed: � (8) 15134857 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>480 FEDERAL- KKPORTER Same— MiLL — Building becoming Unoccupied. — A condition in an Insurance policy upon a mill providing that the insurance shall be void if the premises become unoccupied, refers to something more than a mere temporary suspension of work in the mill; and Tvhere, insuchi case, work had been stopped for flve days, the mill, in the meantime, heing used for the storage and delivery of goods requiring daily visita by one or t>To persons, held, that the policy waa not void.

The policy was dated May 26, 1875, and was renewed from year to year; the fire occurred May 2, 1878. The jury havingfound a ver- dict for the plaintiefs for $3,838.81, a new trial was moved for on the law and the facts. The facts material to the mo- tion were as follows : Mr. Eobbins, an insurance broker in New York, was applied to in 1873 by one of the directors of the company to procure insurance upon their property, and went to Dighton, in Mas- Baehusetts, where the works were situated, examined the premises, and made such inquiries as he thought fit of one of the persons employed there. On his return to New York he drew out in ink a sketch of the building which he had made on the spot, and wrote at the bottom a statement of certain facts connected with the risk in these words : "Building two stories high; first story brick, second story f rame ; roof, shin- gles laid in mortar. No fire in the building except under the boiler and lead fumace. Lighted with minerai sperm oil. Watchman day and night. Water runs all the time. Tanka filled with water, with hose covering the floor below ; 50 fire buckets. On second floor, ores, di-ying pans ; all the settling tanks, filled with water; 13 tanks — hold 1,000 gallons each. Second floor, storage. The nearest building to the works is a email store-house, 40 feet distant ; no other building within 85 feet. Lead ground in oil and water. Nothing used in the works of an explosive nature." He procured insurance in 1873, but not with the defend- ants. When he applied to the defendants for insurance, in 1875, he carried this paper in his hand, and answered ques- tions about the risk in part from the paper and in part from memory.

These bave been produced and put into the case, and they do not provide that the goods shall so remain the property of the defendant. On this evidence it is found that the goods put into or brought into the business became the property of the firm and belonged to the partners respectively in proportion to their respective interests. They continued in partnership until February 8, 1877. Their partnership property then inventoried at $5,824.35. By agreement the defendant took out $800 in amount of the goods, and sold his interest in the residue to Flack for $500 in cash, and his notes of $500 each for the balance, to be- come due in six, twelve, eighteen and twenty-four months. Mack's $1,500 had remained in all the while. The defendant had put in goods and drawn out money in amounts not defi- nitely stated, and it is difficult to determine how much he had in at that time. Upwards of $400 of the inventory rep- resented accounts and fixtures which he did not buy. In view of the priee he sold at, $3,000 must be a liberal allowance for his share of the remaining $4,500, and a little over. On the whole it is found that his interest in what Flack had of the firm was $3,000, and Flack's $1,500, so that he owned two-thirds and Flack one. The sale was a conditional one, such as the laws of the state recognized, and provided that the goods were to remain the property of the defendant until the notes should be paid, and that all goods purchased in place of those sold should be substituted for them in the title of the defendant. Flack continued the business until into October, 1877, sold old goods, bought new, some for cash and some on credit, paid the defendant the note which fell due in that time, but did not pay his other creditors, and became badly insolvent. The defendant leamed of his condition, and, to save himself, bought the stock of goods and fixtures then on hand at about $460 more than his debt, paid $400 in checks, and about $60 in money, delivered up the notes, and took the goods away. Within less, than two months a petition in bank- ruptoy was filed against Flack, upon which he was adjudged a bankrupt, and the orator was appointed assignee of his<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> e6h9okyrkksklntgl6kd4h1d3gr1jip Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/511 104 639847 15134859 8171055 2025-06-14T22:23:48Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (8) 15134859 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>l$Oe VBDaBÀÎi REPORTËB. for any defeet or imperfection in matter of form only, which shall net tend to the prejudice of the defendant ; that is, if the defeet is one of form, and the indietment is not so defect- ive in form as to be likely to prejudice the defendant, the defeet may be disregarded, or perhaps amended. It is Bomewhat difficult to say what is form, and what is substance, in an indietment. A niee critic might insist that form is substance in criminal pleading, but the statute ia intended to have some operation, and I have been disposed to give it a liberal construction. I bave held that a partic- ular intent, which made an act a crime by the words of a statute, is part of the substance. On the other hand, mere mistakes, however serious, in expressing the substance of a crime, if the meaning can be understood, I look upon as formai. By this rule I hold that the allegations of time in this indietment, one of which is repugnant to the other, amounts to a formai defeet or imperfection; it being set out inform- ally, but with no danger of mistake, that the defendant is accused of wilfully and fraudulently concealing from his assignee property ^hich he should have given up to him for the use of the oreditora.

It is brought to recover the amount payable by 218 coupons' on bonds issued by the town of Potter, in Yates county, New York, a municipal corporation of the state of New York, in aid of the construction of the Geneva & Southwestern Eailway Company. Of these coupons 109 fell due March 1, 1879, and 109 September 1, 1879. Of each set of 109, 90 belonged to bonds of $100 each, and were for $3.50, and 19 belonged to bonds of $1,000 each, and were for $35 each. The total amount of the 218 coupons is $1,960. The total amount of bonds issued by the town in aid of the railroad was $30,000. The commissioners who issued the bonds delivered them to the railroad company in payment of a subscription by the town for $30,000 of the capital stock of the company, and the town received a certifi- cate for that amount of such stock, and bas retained it ever since. The bonds were dated September 1, 1873, and were issued shortly after November 6, 1872, and were payable in 30 years from date, and had on them when issued coupons payable every six months from and including March 1, 1873, to and including September 1, 1902.

Charles F, Blake, for defendants. Shipman, D. J. This is a bill in equity to restrain the alleged infringement of letters patent granted to Evory & Heston, on November 6, 1866, for an improvement in shoes. The National Eubber Company is an exclusive licensee to use the patent in the manufacture of rubber boots and shoes. The invention consisted in a double extension gore fiap upon each side of the shoe, the external fold of which flap is at- tached to and in front of the quarter, and the internai fold of which is attached to and in rear of the vamp. The gores are folded outside of the shoe proper, and forward over the in- step, so that the ankle and the foot are enclosed by the shoe proper. The claim is as follows : "A shoe, when constructed ■with an expansion gore flap, C, D, the external fold, C, of •which is attached to and in front of the quarter, B, and the internai fold, D, of which is attached to and in rear of the vamp, A ; the said several parts and pieces being respectively constructed, and the whole arranged for use, substantially in the manner and for the purpose set forth." The material point of difference between this shoe and the one shown in the English patent of Stephen Norris consists in the fact that the Norris gore folda within the shoe, while the gores of the plaintiffs' patent fold outside the shoe. If the gore of the English shoe is made of stiff leather, there is a sliff crease on each side of the shoe which hurts the foot. If the gore is made of thin and pliable leather, the folds are apt to wrinkle and to become easily displaced when the shoe is worn. The plaintiff's shoe avoids both difficulties. The noveltyof the patented device is not denied. The Norris and the defendants' shoes are described in the opinion in the case of Williams and The National Eubber Company v. L.

It is alleged that the defendant infringes all of the first four daims as they are stated in the re-issued patent. Those claims are described as follows : First, an improved window cleaner, consisting of a handle or holder, an elastic rubbing strip attached by one edge to said holder, and a bearing or support for said strip near its outer edge, said parts being combined substantially as described; second, the holder hav- ing its back extended and lying underneath the projecting strip, jointly with the bearing or support located thereonand' the rubbing strip, substantially as described; third, the com- bination with the holder of the elastic rubbing strip and a<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 3twec7bw3g7yq7pkzlzr2dnbgu5rxaf Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/597 104 639936 15134865 14558932 2025-06-14T22:23:54Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (7) 15134865 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>590 FEDERAL REPORTER. stantially altered because the wheel had been hove up, the fessel not yet having paid off. The danger of continuing under the port wheel was that it involved the necessity of Crossing the bow of the other vessel again, and her distance was a matter of great unoertainty. The mate himself testifies that he could not judge of her distance when he first saw the light; she might have been a mile and a-half or three-quarters. He could not say that ehe was more than a mile off. Of course, in the night-time, with nothing but the appearance of the light to determine distance, that element in the problem is very uncertain. And the movement resolved upon by the mate required a considerable space for its safe execution. His vessel must come around and cross the bows of the other at a safe dis- tance from her. Meanwhile both vessels would be covering the space between them at a combined speed, as the wind was of about a mile in five minutes. The mate, though questioned on the subject, was wholly unable to say in what time his vessel would fall off four points, which is the amount it is claimed she did fall off be- fore he judged that he was clear of the other vessel and gave the order to steady. Nor could he say at what distance his vessel would run in falling off four points under a hard a-port wheel. While, however, the movement attempted must be held to have been an errer, yet it is claimed that it was suc- cessfully accomplished ; that the Star of Scotia came around under her hard-aport wheel till she crossed the bow of the Sansego, and brought the red light of the Sansego at a safe distance on her port bow, and then, the two vessels being ôlear of each other, the Star of Scotia steadied, and the col- lision happened from the Sansego changing her course to leeward, and running across the bows of the Star of Scotia. If this is true, the earlier mistake did not cause the collision. It is, I think, fully established by the evidence that the Star of Scotia did bring the red light of the Sansego on her port bow. It was positively sworn to by so many witnesses on the Star of Scotia, as being seen on the port bow after the green light- disappeared, that this point may be considered<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> dhq5k8otdqnfyvwnw3d9ivz2mkhw1lj Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/675 104 640278 15134866 8171223 2025-06-14T22:23:55Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: DEEAL → DERAL, removed: � (7) 15134866 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>OT8 ÏEDERAL REPORTER. and not continuing, if the îndictment charges that the de- fendant did the criminal act on a day which it mentions, and, in general terms, on divers other days, without speoify- ing the others, the latter clause, being in itselr an insujjicient allegation of time, may be rejected us surplusago. Tlius, where the averment was that the defendants, to use the words of the report, on 'such a day, et diversis aliis diebus et vicibus tam antea quam postea, keep a common gaming house,' this was held to be a good allegation of keeping the house on the one day mentioned. True, in this particular case, more days might have been laid, but the time is so uncertain as to ail but one day that only forty shillings are recoverable. Where an indicfcment sets out that the defendant sold liquors, without license, on a day which it mentioned, and at divers times between this day and the finding of the bill, it is suf- ficient, because the inadequate allegations of other days may be rejected as surplusage. But, where a count in an indictment alleged that the defendant committed the crime on the twen- tieth day of September, in a year specified, and on divers other days and times between that day and the ninth day of December, in a subsequent year specified, it was held to bo insufficient. Here there were at least two distinct days ade- quately set out, and, whatever might be said of the rest, cer- tainly the allegations of neither of these could be rejected aa Burplusage." Here we have a test upon this question. And, certainly, it cannot be said that the offence which is eharged in the In- dictment under consideration is in its nature continuing. Thô offence is one which may be committed to-day and as dis- tinctly committed to-morrow, and the act of to-morrow may bave no connection with that of to-day ; and as this count does not merely describe one offence, and by inadequate alle- gation state in part another, so that the latter allegation may be treated as surplusage, but does charge in adequate terms distinct offenoes committed on distinct days, I must, within the principles stated, hold this count bad for duplicity.

The merits of the invention were quickly perceived by the public, The box mills in the general market prior to the introduction of the Strobridge mill had the hopper above the top of the box. Immediately upon the appearance of the com- plainant's mill it met with great popular favor and obtained a ready sale. It was accepted and adopted by the trade and went into general use. The Charles Parker Company, of Mer- iden, Connecticut, and the Peck, Stow & Wilcox Company, of Southington, Connecticut, soon took lioenses from the com- plainant, and these companies — both large manufacturera of coffee-mills — respectively make under the patent the mills known in this case as "Exhibit Charles Parker Mill" and "Exhibit Peck, Stow & Wilcox."- Nelson H. Camp, agent for the Charles Parker Company, teetifles: "Shortly after we commenced selling these mills [Charles Parker millj in the market we received notice that we were infringing the said Strobridge patent, and, upon inves- tigation, concluded it was so, and took out a license to manu- facture under the patent which they granted us under a roy- aity ; and from that day to the present we have manufactured them very largely. The sale of these mills has been very large as compared with ail other mills we manufacture." Webster L. Walkley testifies: "I have sold some mills, similarto 'Exhibit Strobridge,' manufactured by the Charles Parker Co., and more manufactured by the Peck, Stow & Wilcox Co. * * • From the first introduction of these mills they met with unparalleled success, and the trade who had been purchasing the raised hopper mills, about the coi'- responding size and price, to a very large degree substituted in their place, these sunken hopper mills.

R. 201,) that the plaintiff's patent was valid, and that the defendant had infringed it. The patent is for an "im- provement in locomotive lamps." The object of the invention, as stated in the specification, is "to permit coal oil or kero- sene to be used in lamps for locomotive head-lights with suc- cess, and to obtain full advantage of its great light-produc- ing capacity." The patent contains 11 claims. Each claim is a claim to a combination of certain instrumentalities or members. There are eight of such members. The specifica- tion States that the patentee does not daim to be the original inventor of any one of such individual members, but that, al- though they had been used before his invention, such use was in combinations substantially different from those devised by him. The defendant had used three forms of head-lights, one of which infringed five of the claims, one four of the claims, and one all of the claims. The court found that the plaintiff's lamp was the first one which successfully burned kerosene oil in a locomotive head-light; and that his lamp had super- seded those previously in use, and was used on nearly all the railroads in the United States, An account of profits and an<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 2o07ar7pmgcm7uqxzio5a6ezc926rcl Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/731 104 640336 15134871 8171285 2025-06-14T22:24:00Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, removed: � (7) 15134871 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>724 FEDERAL REPORTER. terms of the maritime law in this respect, and from the principle which pervades its enactments, to giye a lien upon the vessel to a claim of the character of the one now under consideration. It in no respects merits such privileges any more than do the services of any other class of laborers in any work conneeted with the business of the ship. It does not seem to differ from a transportation of the cargo from one place to another on the land, and the cartman who hauls off the lading and facilitates the discharge of the vessel aids her in the same manner as the laborer who raises the cargo from the hold." The learned judge also found in that case an additional reason for denying the lien : that the services were in fact not performed upon the credit of the vessel, but upon the Personal credit of the master. In The Bark Joseph Cunard, Ole. 123, (1845), Judge Betts adhered to this ruling and denied the lien of the stevedores, and, as within the same principle, rejected the claim of light- ermen -who took the cargo from the shore to the ship while lying in the port of Mobile. The vessel was under a charter which relieved the ship as between her and the charterers from the expense of loading the vessel. This circumstance, however, does not seem to form the ground of the decision. Eeferring to these two charges for stevedores and lighterage, Judge Betts says : "It is an employment outside of the vessel, not contributing to her capabilities or security in navigation, or serviceable to her voyage. There is no difference in prin- ciple whether the cargo is brought to her side in the stream, or placed near her on a wharf. The ship is responsible for disbursements necessary to equip and put her in a condition (by men, provisions, etc.) to perform her voyage; but it would be giving a novel extension to the notion and range of tacit liens to subject her to ail claims collateral and incidental to her dispatch. A cargo is no more than an incident to a voyage, and in no sense necessary to enable the ship to per- form one.

The court further says: "The right thus granted is not a privilege or immunity of general but special citizenship. It does not 'belong of right to the citizens of all froe governments,' but only to the citizens of Virginia, on account of the peouliar circumstances in which they are placed. They, and they alone, owned the property to be sold or used ; and they alone had the power to dispose of it as they saw fit. They owned it, not by virtue of citizenship merely, but of citizenship and domicile united — that is to say, by yirtue of a citizenship confined to that particular locality." Id. 396. Citizens of other states having no property right which entitles them to fish against the will of the state, a fortiori, the alien, from whatever country he may come, has none whatever in the waters or the fisheries of the state, Like other privileges he enjoys as an alien by permission of the state, he can only enjoy so much as the state vouchsafes to yield to him as a special privilege. To him it is not a prop- erty right, but, in the strictest sense, a privilege or favor. To exclude the Ohinaman from fishing in the waters of the state, therefore, while the Germans, Italians, Englishmen, and Irish- men, who otherwise stand upon the same footing, are per- mitted to fish ad libitum, without priee, charge, let, or hinder- ance, is to prevent him from enjoying the same privileges as are "enjoyed by the citizens or subjects of the most favored nation;" and to punish him criminally for fishing in the waters of the state, while all aliens of the Caucasian race are permitted to fish freely in the same waters with impunity and without restraint, and exempt from all punishments, is to exclude him from enjoying the same immunities and exemp- tions "as are enjoyed by the citizens or subjects of the most<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> b13h92nvl28f9cybhi4k0a3xhpk4ppq Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/761 104 640367 15134873 15133191 2025-06-14T22:24:02Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEEAL → FEDERAL 15134873 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>75e FEDERAL REPORTER. instruct Mr. Lomax that he bas nothing to do with Mr. Grin- nell's aocounts.

Ev. § 93. In determining the question of conspiracy it will be safe for you to reckon Mrs. Lewis as one of the parties. She con- fesses in her testimony, and by her plea of guilty to this in- dictment, that she was one, and however much you may be disposed to weigh or sift or doubt her evidence as to others, you are authorized to accept it as altogether true as to her- self . Did she stand alone in her attempt to defraud the gov- ernment, or were others implicated with her ? If one other, then you wiU find that a conspiracy was formed, because only two are necessary to complete the ofifence. She states that one of the defendants, Park, originated the scheme for her ta personate the widow of Joseph L. Lewis, in order to defraud the United States, and that his motive in doing so was to share with her the fruits, to-wit, the money to be obtained from the estate of Lewis. Much has been said as to the weight which the jury ought to give to the testimony of co-conspirators, and here ia perhaps the proper place for me to submit to you a few obser- vations on that subject. The fact that a witness is a co-con- spirator doubtless operates, and ought to operate, largely against the credibility of his testimony, but the jury is not bound to reject it on that account. Whiist it would be unsafe, in ordinary cases, to convict any one upon the uneorroborated testimony of accomplices in the crime, the rule of law un- doubtedly is that they are competent witnesses, and it is your duty to consider their evidence. You are to weigh it and serutinize it with great care. You are to test its truth by inquiring into the probable motive which prompted it.

Lewis in carrying out the fraud. Dr. Park says that, on th& contrary, the information was obtained solely to prepare an article on the deceased Lewis for publication, and the reason aasigned for not publishing is that the reporters had antiei- pated him. Inquire how the faets of the interview with the Bensons support these respective contentions. I was some- what impressed with the importance which Dr. Park seemed, by his conduct, to attach to the color of the eyes of one or two of Lewis' old servants. Both Mr. and Mrs. Benson alludeto the anxiety of the doctor on the subject. The jury will inquire whether that was an important fact in posting Mrs. Lewis as to her duties and responsibilities, or an important fact to disclose to the public in an article in reference to the life and habits of Lewis. You have listened to the comments of the respective counsel, as to his motives in obtaining the information, and it is for you to decide where the truth lies. The district attorney and the counsel for the defendants have entered so fully into the evidence of the different wit- nesses, showing the corroboration or want of corroboration to be found there, that I do not deem it necessary to pursue the subject further. I will only add, that if the testimony of Mrs. Lewis in regard to Park, taken in connection with his own evidence and the corroboration of other witnesses, do not satisfy you beyond a reasonable doubt that he was a party to the conspiracy, with a knowledge at any stage of the pro- ceedings of the attempted fraud, it is your duty to acquit him. If, on the other hand, you have no reasonable doubt of the fact, you must not be deterred by any consideration of sym- pathy or meroy from finding him guilty. Your duty is to decide according to the evidence, without regard to the conse- quences. You will then proceed in the same manner to consider the case of the other defendants. The direct testimony in regard to them is, to a small extent, from Mrs. Lewis, but mainly from Elijah Caldwell. If he epeaks the truth, then, doubtless, Sacia, Allison and Bassford are parties to the fraud.

Finding that the schooner was getting close to him he put his helm hard a-port to avoid her, and just at that time she changed her course and showed her green light, and he then reversed at full speed but could not avoid the collision. Assuming that the schooner did change her course, and assuming that the maneuvers of the tug were all of ihem proper, the tug has not exculpated herself for the reason that the schooner could not see her lights, and, having no warning of her approach, was not to blame for changing her course. It is to no purpose that the regulation lights are fixed and burning if they are so obstructed as not to be seen by ap- proaching vessels. The tug was towing a barge 195 feet long, on which were double railroad tracks, and on these were eleven horse cars, such as are used for freight. The tug was made fast to the after end of the barge, and on the side furthest from that on which the schooner was approaching, 80 that there was not only the width of the barge and cars, but nearly the whole diagonal length of the mass of barge and cars, to obstruct the tug's lights. For the purpose of obvi- ating the obstruction caused by the height of the cars on the barge, the tug's side lights had been fixed unusually high, and they were four feet higher than the tops of the cars, but by persons navigating a small vessel loaded down so deep in the water as was the schooner in this case, and approaching from the diagonally opposite end of the barge from the end to which the tug was made fast, they could not be seen. The testimony of those on the schooner is that they were keeping along the southemmost side of the harbor, intending to anchor just above Locust Point ; that when they got around the Baltimore & Ohio Eailroad's long pier near Fort Mc- Henry, and almost a mile from Henderson's wharf, from which the tug started, they did change their course a little to the southward, conforming to the outline of the shore, and keeping near the docks ; that they saw no lights whatever on the tug and barge until they were hailed from the barge at a distance of about 70 yards off on their starboard side ; that<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 69eppvs2v6flbk6i45p7bfpej6avm60 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/795 104 640402 15134877 15133195 2025-06-14T22:24:06Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EPORTB → EPORTE, PORTEB → PORTER 15134877 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>788 FEDERAL REPORTER. a-half months' demurrage. From the ship-carpenter's own testimony it appearSj I think, that three months should have been a reasonably sufficient time in which to have com.- pleted the repairs made necessary by the collision.

It îa only in the acts of congress passed subse- quently that the restrictions are found. So long as it kept within constitutionai bounds congress might place limitations on the jurisdietion of the circuit courts, and in like manner it had power to take them away. This it bas done in the act of 1875, § 2, which, so far as it bears on the present case, is in the language of the constitution, and gives the circuit courts jurisdietion, and the right of removal thereto, in suits wherein there is "a controversy between citi- sens of a state and foreign states, citizens or subjects." There is nothing said about the suit being brought in the state -where the "citizens of a state" in a given case reside. Nor is there any warrant for any qualification of that sort, AU that is necessary under this clause is that one party shall be a citizen or a subject of a foreign state and the other a citizen of "a state." The distinction here taken between a "foreign state" and "a state" is, it seems to me, an answer to the position of defendant stated above, viz. : That the word "foreign" must be referred to the residence of the citizen of the United States, and not to the district in which the suit may be brought. In order to main tain his position the defendant is obliged to bring into this statute a provision not put there by congress, but studiously left out. The plaintiff properly sued the defendant in a court of this state, and afterwards it, being a citizen of "a state," (Cali- fornia,) and the defendant being a foreign citizen or subject, (of Great Britain,) transferred the suit to this court, that being the very case made by the statute in which a removal is authorized. It is said no case in point can be found — that is, a case between a citizen of a state, a member of the Union, and a citizen of a foreign state. But there is a uni- versal concurrence of opinion that since the act of 1875 it is no longer necessary, in suits between citizens of different states, that either shall be a resident of the state in which the suit is brought.

In Bankruptcy. Sur petition' of John Liggett, landlord of the bankrupt, for an order upon the assignee to pay rent. J. H. Baldwin, for assignee. S. Schoyer, Jr., for John Liggett. AoHEsoN, D. J. There was due the landlord at the date of his petition arrears of rent amounting to $1,000; but it is admitted that since the present application was made the assignee has paid the landlord the amount, viz., |698, realized from the sale of the personal property belonging to the bank- rupt which was upon the demised premises at the date of the bankruptcy. But the landlord claims the further sum of $119 now in the assignee's hands. The bankrupt was an auctioneer, and carried on his bus- iness on the demised premises. At the time of his bank- ruptcy there were upon the demised premises, for sale by the bankrupt as auctioneer, a piano, upon which he had advanced to the owner $48, and some other personal chat- tels, upon which he had advanced freight to the amount of $71. These sums have been paid to the assignee. The landlord claims this money. But upon what principle ? If he has a valid claim thereto it must be on the ground that these goods were distrainable for arrears of rent. But it is settled law that the goods of third persons upon the prem- ises of an auctioneer, for sale, are privileged from distress for rent. Did the fact that the tenant here had made ad- vances upon the goods subject them to distress? I think not.

L. Eoberts. It is for a new and useful improvement in apparatus for exploding gunpowder or other explosive material when submerged in water in artesian or other similai •wells. The apparatus is clearly and minutely described in the attendant specification, and the daims are as follows: First, the priming chamber h, in combination with the flask, plug and nipple, substantially as set forth; second, tha arrangement of the tube /, or its equivalent, oomposed ol India rubber, or other similar material, with the guard d and boit e, substantially as described, in combination with tha flask a. The answer of the defendant to the charge of infringement of the process patent, while admitting the issue of the origi- nal, and the re-issues, as set forth in the bill, denies generally that the alleged improvemant was new and useful; that Roberta was the original, true, or first inventor; and it denies also that the invention was not known or used before application was made for the patent, and denies that the invention was not, for more than tv/o years prior to the date of Eobert'a application for a patent, in public use, or on sale in thia country. Passing from these general deniais, the answer proceeds to allege that the re-issue 5,434 was invalid and void, becaùse it described and claimed things substantially dif- ferent from what was described and claimed in the original patent.

Such are the defences set np against the bill of the com- plainants, and a very elaborate argument has been submitted in support of them. It must be admitted that the answer, so far as it relates to the process patent, is exoeedingly fulL It avers almost everything that may in any case be relied upon as a defence to the charge of infringing a patent, but most of its allegations are totally unsustained by anything in th» record. They have not been insisted upon in the argument, and some of them have been expresaly disclaimed. They ■will, therefore, require only a passing notice. First, as to those which relate to the validity of the patent. There is no evidence to sustain the averment that the inven- tion was in public use or on sale more than two years prior to Eoberts' application for a patent, which was in 1864. The proof is directly to the contrary, and the averment is incon- sistent with another allegation contained in the answer, to- wit, that at the time of filing his application he had never reduced to practice his supposed improvement or invention. Nor is there anything to sustain the assertions of the answer that the patentee was guilty of fraud in this, that for the purpose of deceiving the public he made his application for the re-issue to contain less than the whole truth relative to his invention, and also that, for the same purpose, he made it to contain more than is necessary to produce the desired effect, or the alleged useful resuit. Such averments tend to awaken a suspicion that the defendant mistrusted having any substantial defence. Equallyunfoundedis the defence that the description of the invention in the Epecification is not sufiQciently full, clear and exact to enable any person skilled in the art to which it apper- tains, or with which it is most closely connee.ted, to use it.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ckrftev4ir048rbmnhsawblhvkmk5cm Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/867 104 640474 15134553 8171433 2025-06-14T21:42:06Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTEB → PORTER, removed: � (6) 15134553 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>860 FEDERAL REPORTER. merous aots which he claims to bave Leen anticipations. Some if not most of them were in evidence in the former case, and were held inaufficient to establisli the iuvalidity of the patent. They will require but brief notice. There are eeveral, however, that appear in evidence first now. They will be particularly considered. One of these, and one upon ■which much stress bas been laid in the argument, is described in the testimony of George W. Beardslee. In 1S44, at Loches- ter, New York, he excavated an ordinary well, six feet in diameter, and 12 to 16 feet down to limestone rock of a peculiar formation, and then from two to five feet into the rock. The strata were thick, two or three feet, and without fissures. Finding it diiïicult to blow eut the rock by ordinary blasting he drilled a two-inch hole in the center of the exca- vation, to the depth of four or five feet, without strikiiig the water he anticipated. He then put a charge of powder in a tin case into the hole and fired it by a fuse. When fired the water had risen over the hole, as he says, three or four feet. The resuit of the explosion was, he thinks, to reach a sub- stratum of water for which he was seeking. Before the blast he could bail out the well with a bucket, and afterwards he could not. It would, we think, be a very unwarranted conclusion to draw from Beardslee 's evidence that his experiment was an anticipation of Eoberts' process. The well was in no sense an artesian well. The cartridge was 13 or 14 inches long, and it was of such a diameter as to fill the hole during its length. It was not arranged in a position having particular reference to the place where the effect of an explosion was desired. It rested on the bottom of the hole, without being suspended. Obviously it was a case of ordinary blasting. The proportion to which the hole was filled with powder, about one-third, is the proportion required and ordinarily adopted in common blasting. 1 Knight's Meclianical Dic- tionary, 295. Plainly the purpose was to blow out the rock above the cartridge into the well.

The differences, so far as they exist, are merely formai. The funetion performed by each device is the. same; the mode of performance is substantially the same in each, and the ele- ments of the combination are found in each. Those elements are four. Bach has a flask to contain material for a blaat, and each flask has a cover. It is immaterial how the cover is attached to the body. The mode of attachment con- stitutes no part of what the patentee claims, nor does the shape of the cover. Both devices plainly have reference to a tor- pedo to be set vertically, and to be fired by a weight dropped from above. The patentee has a priming ehamber entered through the cover. The priming ehamber is a small apart- meut entered through the cover, intended to contain a charge to be fired into the body of the flask, Of what material the ehamber shall be made is not made essential or speciûed. The defendant's device has three priming chambers entered through the cover of the flask, or plate or disk, which consti- tutes the cover, Through this cover three perforations are made, extending into the interior of the flask, and a Smith & Wesson pistol cartridge is forced into each, It is needless to say, what is too obvions to need any remark, that the copper case of the cartridge, fiUed as it is with powder to be ex- ploded by a fulminate in the vein, is a priming ehamber answering all the purposes of that in the Eoberts patent, and a clear equivalent for it; and the buUet which confines the powder in the copper case is a plug answering all the pur- poses of the plug in the complainant's device. The remaining element of the patentee's device is the nip- ple. The funetion of the nipple is twofold : to hold the cap in position over the pi-iming ciiamber, and to supply an anvil upon which the fulminate in the cap may be exploded into the ehamber by the falling of the weight. There is no nip- ple in form in the defendant's apparatus, but there is a clear equivalent, performing the same functions, and in substan- tially the same manner.

The averment of a charge of negli- gence, in general terms, against both schooner and steam-tug, is too uncertain and indefinite to be considered an allegation of any particular negligence at ail. The only specifie charge is the not seeing the other vessel seasonably. This may possibly be equivalent to the ordinary averment of not keeping a good lookout. But there is noth- ing to show how or why this fault caused the collision. If the claimants had seen fit to go to trial on this libel, the only act of negligence upon which either of the vessels could be held would be the not seeing the other in time. If libel- lant failed to prove this his libel would be dismissed. But the claimants, even as to this charge, are entitled to a more definite and detailed statement of the facts of the collision. It is suggested that the owner or master of the canal-boafc, not being in any way responsible for her navigation while in tow, lashed along-side of a tug, has not the means of knowl- edge, or the information as to the circumstances and causes of the collision, which the owners of the two vessels, or those whom they have placed in charge of them, must be presumed to have. If, however, a libellant on this ground seeks to excuse him- self, in some particulars, from that fulness of statement which the practice requires, it should appear in the libel that he has not knowledge, or means of information, suffieient to state the details in question. The presumption is that there was somebody on the canal-boat at the time, and that a party having a cause of action can ascertain the material facts on which it is based. Of course, greater indulgence, both in the matter of pleading and in the matter of amending pleadings to conform to the facts proved, will be granted to persons thus situated, having less full means of information, and less obligation to observe the movements of the vessels, than the principal actors in them have. But this rule of practice is wholesome and necessary for the ascertainment of the real issues to be tried, and for fair play between the parties upon the trial of the cause. Exceptions sustained ; the libellant to have one week to amend his libel, and to recover no prootor's fee in the suit in any event.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> fuvimt2agxup4nqwm951i4ezjye1aqc Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/885 104 640492 15134884 8171451 2025-06-14T22:24:13Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, BBPO → REPO, REPORTBE → REPORTER, removed: � (7) 15134884 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>878 FEDBEAL REPORTER. rectors of the defendant corporation became interested with Smith, Dennison and Converse as parties thereto, so that two of the five contraotors were parties to the contract on both sides. The construction company thus organized went on under the contract for several years, expending large sums of money in the construction of the ro.ad, and now claims a large balance as due to it on said contract, for which it holds bonds secured by the mortgage sued on. It seekd to recover judg- ment and a foreclosure of said mortgage. The validity of the mortgage, and of the bonds to secure which it was given, de- pends upon the validity of the construction contract, which is the foundation upon which alone they must be supported. Upon consideration of the proofs in the case, the master's report, and the law, I have reached the following conclusions : 1. That the admission into the construction company, under the construction contract, of two officers of the railroad com- pany was unlawful and vitiated the contract. It matters not -whether the contract was entered into with the under- standing that the two railroad directors were to be admitted or not, their presence as parties on both sides during the pro- gress of the work, and when payments and settlements were to be made under the contract, is enough. Wardell v. B. Go. 4 Dillon, 33; B. Co. v. Poor, 59 Me. 270. 2. It is insisted that there bas been such acquiescence on the part of the stockholders of the defendant company, in the matters of which they now complain, that they are es- topped. It appears that the contract was openly made and reported to the board of directors of the railroad company, and by them approved, without any apparent effort at secrecy, and that the work of constructing the road was carried on by the construction company under the contract for a period of several years. It is inferred, and perhaps not without reason, from these facts that the stockholders generally were advised of the particulars of the contract, including the fact that two members of the board of directors were interested in it. It does not, however, follow in my opinion that the contract should be upheld and enforced in a court of equity as against the stockholders.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> l2zci5yg0urts1dd2xeed7xkel90zww Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/891 104 640498 15134885 14561022 2025-06-14T22:24:14Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PBD → FED, FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, TEB. → TER., removed: � (13) 15134885 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>884: FEDERAL REPORTER. addition to the other property required by this act io be listed, make out and deliver to the assessor a sworn statement of the amount of its capital stock, setting forth particularly — "First.

It is further alleged that the assessor for the townof South Chicago, within which the principal office of the company is situated, assessed the property of said company for the year 1879 at a valuation of $75,000, which waa increased by the board of equalization of the state to $90,000, which valuation, complainant charges, represented the entire property of the company lia- ble to taxation, and that the state, county and city taxes, for the year 1879, on the said sum, amount to $4,300.20, which<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 15i7d3kvoy5wvq55am7t7bbkbr36lum Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/893 104 640500 15134886 8171460 2025-06-14T22:24:15Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: AIi → AL , POBT → PORT, PORTB → PORTE, removed: � (8) 15134886 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>SS6 TBDSSAL BZPORTER. legislature constitutionally assesB and tax the capital stock of gas companies, while it exempts the stock of purely man- ufacturing companies from taxation ? By the original aet "for the assessment of property, and for the levy and collection of taxes," approved March 13, 1872, it is provided, in section 3, clause 4, as follows: "The capital stock of ail companies and associations now or here- after created, under the laws of this state, shall be so valued by the state board of equalization as to ascertain and deter- mine, respectively, the fair cash value of such capital stock, including the franchise, over and above the assessed value of the tangible property of such company or association;" and by the thirty-second section of the same act certain en umerated classes of corporations incorporated under the laws of this state, among which are gas companies, are required to make out and de- liver to the assessor a sworn statement of the amount of their capital stock, which was to be forwarded to the auditor, and by him laid bef ore the board of equalization for valuation. and assessment. The amendment of May 13, 1879, to the fourth clause of section 3 simply inserts in brackets, immediately after the words "the laws of this state," in the second line of the clause as printed in the Eevised Statutes, ("except those required to be assessed by the local assessors hereinafter provided,") and adds to that clause the foUowing proviso: "Provided, further, that companies and associations organized for purely manuf acturing purposes, or for pfinting, or for publishing of newspapers, or for the improving and breeding of stock, shall be assessed by the local assessors in like manner as the prop- erty of individuals is required to be assessed." While the amendment to the thirty-second section of the same acts consists in omitting the word "manufacturing," as descriptive of one of the classes of corporations who are re- quired to make out and deliver to the assessor a sworn state- ment of the amount of their capital stock, to be laid before the. board of equalization, and the insertion of the words "and the corporations required to be assessed by the local assessors, as hereinbefore provided," after the word "state,"<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> kogdgctd6gtbvepjtzabtbrekqxwcr2 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/905 104 640513 15134887 8171474 2025-06-14T22:24:16Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, removed: � (8) 15134887 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>898 FXDEBAL KBPORTSR. that having disclosed the fact that he was a stockholder, upon which the law created a contingent liability, to the creditors of the bank, in case an assessment should be made upon the stockholders to meet the liability of the bank, his said liabil- ity as Bueh stockholder cornes within the operation of the composition, and plaintiff can only recover the amount paid other creditors by the terms of the composition. I do not concur in the position taken by the defendant. The law under which this composition was obtained provides that "the provisions of a composition accepted by such reso- lution, in pursuance of this section, shall be binding on aU the creditors whose names and addresses, and the amounts of the debts due to whom, are shown in the statement of the debtor produced at the meeting at which the resolution shall have been passed, but shall not affect or prejudice the righta of any other crediter. " The proceeding to obtain a discharge must be strictly con- strued. The bankrupt must substantially comply with ail the conditions requisite and precedent to obtain his dis- charge. At the time this creditors' meeting was held, and this com- position eonsidered and approved by the creditors and court, this liability as a stockholder was only contingent, — no as- sessment had been made, in fact no receiver had been ap- pointed. Admitting, for the purpose of this decision, that a contingent liability can be discharged by composition pro- ceedings, there can be no doubt that, in order to secure this resuit, the bankrupt must include such contingent liability in his statement of debts; that the creditors holding such con- tingent indebtedness must have notice that a discharge from such liability is sought. But here there is no reference to this liability in the schedule of debts. No notice was given in any form that the bankrupt desired a discharge from this liability. Indeed, it is difficult to see how this could have been done at the time this composition was obtained, as no receiver had been appointed at the time, and no one could tell what rate of assessment upon the stockholders would be made.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> fo6eu0sjpt2fc4gn20htkwyyvwidmnc Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/909 104 640517 15134888 15129014 2025-06-14T22:24:17Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: DEEAL → DERAL 15134888 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>903 ÏEDERAL REPORTER. year 1865. This, at least, seems to me to be elear, that the conception and description of Davis' valve is not carried back by any witness to the time when it is shown Kneeland de- scribed and sketched his invention in the early part of Sep- tember, 1864. That this is the latest period at which Knee- land's invention can be fixed is settled by numerous decisions. As v?as said in Reeves v. The Keystone Bridge Co., 1 Off. Gaz. 466 : " But a patentee, whose patent is assailed upon the ground of want of novelty, may show, by sketcbes and draw- ings, the date of Ms inceptive invention, and if he has exer- cised reaaonable diligence in perfecting and adapting it, and in applying for his patent, its protection •will be carried back to Buch date." Kneeland's inceptive invention was the earliest, and he was diligent in perfecting and adapting it, and in applying for his patent. He is, therefore, prior in right to Davis, and i» entitled to a decree as prayed for. Let a decree accordingly be prepared. LoEiLLiRD V. The Standard Oïl Compakt. (Circuit Court, S. D. New York.

It is further charged that the collision was occasioned solely by the fault and negligence of the persons managing said steam-boat in that, among other things, she was not running near the center of the river, but near the New York shore ; that she was ran- ning at a higher rate of speed than is allowed by the statutes of the state of New York ; that she did not discover said sloop in time to avoid her, and did not see her red light; that she attempted to pass across the bows of the sloop instead of under her stern, and that she did not stop in time to avoid the collision. The pleadings on the part of the steam-boat allege that she proceeded up the river about one-third of the distance across from the New York shore ; that when she arrived at about opposite pier 45, East river, the green light of the sloop was suddenly seen, a short distance on the port side of the steam- boat, the sloop being on the starboard tack and heading for about the forward port gangway of the steam-boat; that the sloop had no red light on the port side; that the sloop was seen by those on board of, and in charge of, the steam-boat as soon as she exhibited her green light, but said vessels were then so near each other that ail that could be done by those on board the steam-boat was to port her wheel and sheer towards the Brooklyn shore, whioh was immediately done, and a long, loud blast of her whistle was sounded; that from that<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> fukpgup1eoux687oxnqi6udwjjctuue Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/921 104 640529 15134890 14561032 2025-06-14T22:24:19Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, POBT → PORT, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (12) 15134890 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>^14 FEDERAL REPORTSB. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW. 1. The schooner was in fault for not showing her toroh- light in time, or giving some eç[ually good notice of her pres- ence and position. 2. As this was the sole cause of the collision the libe] flhould be dismissed. Brown d Smith, for appellants. John H. Th&mas e Son, for appellees. Waitb, C. J. I have had no difficulty in reachîng the con- clusion that the toroh-light was not shown from the schooner untU it was too late for the steamer to avoid the collision, and that if it had been shown at a proper time no damage would have been done. Although all the witnesses from the schooner concur in saying that some minutes elapsed after the light was displayed before the vesaels came together, it is <îlear to my mind that they were mistaken. Mere estimates, by witnesses in collision cases, as to time and distance can rarely be relied on with confidence. It is always safer in determining such questions to be governed by the attending facts and circumstances. The lights were first brought to the attention of the five persons looking out from the steamer at the time by its re- flection on the sails and rigging of the schooner, and they all saw it simultaneously. This, I think, must have been when the mate was ooming out from the cabin with the torch lighted, and before he got on deck. Under such circum- stances the reflection would almost neoessarily be seen before the light itself. Immediately afterwards the torch was seen for a moment only by the two lookouts on the bow, and the pilot at the starboard end of the bridge. The captain, at his place near the middle of the bridge, and the second officer at the port end, did not see it at ail, as the hull of the steamer intercepted their view, and it was soon shut out from the others in the same way. These facts are fully established, and satisfy me that the reflection was seen as soon as the jmate came out from the cabin, and that the vessels must iave been very close together. The testimony from the schooner is to the same efEect, and<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> e83qxhytqdq4g38vlgznf59gi8rsf51 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 2.djvu/931 104 640539 15134892 14558954 2025-06-14T22:24:21Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: AIi → AL , REPOB → REPOR, TEB. → TER., DEEAL → DERAL, removed: � (8) 15134892 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>924 FEDERAL REPORTER. What it was that caused this sheer the testimony does not satisîactorily establish. It may have been bad steering in the attempt to steady the ship on her course af ter she rau on to the buoy, under the excitement of apprehension that she was in danger of grounding, or it may have resulted from a tendency which some of the witnesses say vesseis have to eheer off when approaohing shallow water. That the steamer did make such a sheer is satisfactorily established, not only by the direct testimony of those on board of the tug and bark, but also by the facts and admissions contained in the testimony of those on the steamer. These latter testify that they had the helm hard a -port when the steamer was 300 or 400 yards from the tug; that eveu after she ran on to the buoy her helm was never put to starboard, and it also appears that when the steamer was abreast of the tug the captain and pilot were assisting the two wheelsmeu in the attempt to get the wheel still more to port. So that it seems evident that if the steamer had not taken a sheer she must certainly, under a hard a-port helm, bave run outside of the buoys. One great danger of a high rate of speed is the short time allowed in which to rectify any error of judgment or eounteract any unexpected occurrence ; and, whatever may have been the cause of the sheer, no collision would probably have occurred if a less rate of speed had allowed more time to overcome it or more time for the bark to escape from it. In navigating such a channel allowance must be made for unusual emergencies, and precaution and care must be in- oreased in proportion to the increased risk and diffieulties ; and in this case I have been unable to bring my mind to any other conclusion than that the tug was in fault in delaying until 80 late in getting herself and her tow out of the way of the steamer, and that the steamer was also in fault in main- taining her fuU speed up the channel in the face of such obvi- ons obstructions. The bark appears to have governed her movements in strict conformity to those of the tug, and not to have been in fault. It therefore results that the whole damage is to be equally borne by the tug and the steamer.

Although the bill avers that the railway company had povrer to enter into the contract in controversy, it must be assumed that by this allegation the complainant intended to eay that by virtue of the law of ita being it had such power; and it is, therefore, necessary to look into the statutes under which it was organized, and by which its powers -were defmed Rndlimited. A corporation can possess such powers only as are expressly conferred by statute, or incidental to its express powers. 2. It is conceded that the Kansas Paciiic Eailway Company, Eastern Division, was originally chartered by an act of the legislature of Kansas as the"Leavenworth, Pawnee & Western Eailroad Company," and had, by virtue of its state charter, authority to make the contract in question; but it is insisted that, by aecepting the terms of the act of congress makingit a branch of the Union Paciûo Eailroad, it became subject to the laws of the United States relating to that road and ita branches, and was thereby disabled from making such a con- tract. By section 9 of the act known as the original Pacific Railroad Act, approved July 1, 1862, it was provided that the Leavenworth, Pawnee & Western Eailroad of Kansas might construct a railroad and telegraph ' line over a pre- scribed route, "upon the same terms and conditions, in all respects, as are provided in this act for the construction of the railroad and telegraph lines just mentioned." By other provisions of the act, and by its amendments, large subsidies were bestowed upon the companies building the branches, as well as upon the company which was to build the main line. I am of the opinion that by aecepting the terms of the acts of congress, and receiving its benefits, the Leavenworth, Pawnee & Western Eailroad Company be- came subject te all the terms and conditions imposed by'thosa jacts, and that neither it nor its Buccessors could enter into a<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> r8wr0gtifyp6qcx7g129ri3gq1hxqhh Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/13 104 641754 15134899 8171534 2025-06-14T22:24:28Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, EEPO → REPO, REPOKT → REPORT, REPORTEE → REPORTER, removed: � (6) 15134899 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>6 FEDERAL REPORTER, in accordance therewith to the line of said railroads and branches, such transfer shall, for ail purposes of the act re- ferred to, be held and cousidered a fulfilment on the part of said railroad companies of the provisions of the act in re- gard to the construction of a telegraph line; and in case of a disagreement said telegraph Company are authorized to remove their line of telegraph along and upon the line of railroad therein contemplated, without prejudice to the rights of said railroad companies." 13 Statutes, 374. It is stated, in argument by counsel, that complainant is the assignee and successor of the said United States Tele- graph Company, and possessed at the time of making the contract in question, and still possesses, the rights conferred upon that company by the section just quoted; and it is claimed that under this act, if not under the original Pacific Eailroad charter, the raûway conipany had power to make the contract. These facts are not averred in the bill, but as the question of the true construction of the section above quoted has been discussed, I deem it best to state my views thereon, especially in view of the fact that, under the allega- tion in the bill that the railway company had power to enter into the contract, it is the duty of the court to construe any Btatute under which that power is claimed. I cannot, how- ever, in the present state of the record, determine whether the rights of the United States Telegraph Company had been legally transferred to the complainant. That question can only be decided upon consideration of the assignment or con- veyances under which the transfer was made, and of the laws authorizing such instruments to be executed, and these are not before me. I can only determine, so far as I am con- cerned, the question whether the railway company could, under the act above quoted, have entered into a contract like the one in controversy with the said United States Telegraph Company. By the law as it stood before the passage of the act of 1864, which is now to be construed, the Kansas Pacific Bailroad Company, Eastern Division, was bound to construct a telegraph line of its own. The act of 1S64 allowed it to relieve itself of that duty and to devolve it upon the United<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> logugm4kntdxs8le2bgfpusn3r0q8sn Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/19 104 641762 15134911 8171600 2025-06-14T22:24:39Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: whieh → which, PEDEBAL → FEDERAL, EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, ORTBB → ORTER, removed: � (14) 15134911 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>12 FEDERAL REPORTER. therefore void.

In Equity. Benecict, D. J. This is an application for an attachment against a witness to punish a contempt in refusing to bring certain "patterns" for a stove, in pursuance of the directions of a writ of subpcena duces tecum, issued out of this court and duly served upon the witness. The writ was issued, as of course, from the clerk's ofSce, and without application to the court. On the part of the witness the point is taken that the court has no power, by a writ of subpœna duces tecum, to com- pel a person to bring to court his property other than docu- mentary evidence, and that the function of a subpœna dw;es tecum is coufined to securing the production of documents and books. The power to issue the writ of subpœna is derived from section 716, U. S. Eev. St., and must be found in the words "ail writs which may be necessary for the exercise of their respective jurisdictions, and agreeable to the usages and prin- ciples of law." Is a writ requiring a person not a party to the suit to attend the court and bring with him certain described patterns of the castings of a stove, in that such patterns may be put in evidence, a writ agreeable to the usages and princi- ples of law ?

In Equity. Suit to Foreclose Mortgage. H. J. Horn, for plaintiff. Roger s e Roger s, for defendant. McCkaey, g. J. This cause bas been argued and aubmitted npon the merits. It is a suit brought to foreclose a mort- gage. Upon the face of the mortgage there appears an inter- lineation, the words "block 19" being interlined upon the face of the instrument. Without these words the property described oould not be located. They are, therefore, material, and the question is whether they were inserted before the execution of the mortgage or afterwards. This question must be decided upon the proof, and in view of the law applicable to suoh cases. The mortgage was twice recorded, The words in question do not appearintheyîrst record, but do ap- pear in the second. Several years intervened between the first and second reoording. It is contended by the defendants that the interlineation was made after the first recording, and without authority, while the plaintiff insists that the words were in the instrument as originally executed, and were omitted by the recorder in copying the same upon the record. The only testimony offered by the defendants is that of Henry H. Finley, one of the defendants, and who is the person who drew the mortgage.

There are also cases inwhichinterlineations have been held to be prima fade, honafide, and that the burden is upon the party attacking the instrument to show that it was altered after execution. But I think that one rule govems in all these cases, and it is this : If the interlineation is in itself Buspicious, as, if it appears to be contrary to the probable meaning of the instrument as it stood before the insertion of the interlined words; or if it is in a handwriting different from the body of the instrument, or appears to have been written with different ink, — in all such cases, if the court con- siders the interlineation suspicious on its face, the presump- tion will be that it was an unauthorized alteration after exe- cution. On the other hand, if the interlineation appears in the same handwriting with the original instrument, and bears no evidence on its face of having been made subsequent to the execution of the instrument, and especially if it only makes clear what was the evident intention of the parties, the law will presume that it was made in good faith, and before exe- cution.

I see no reason to doubt the correctness of these instruc- tions. The sketch in the foreign publication was public prop- erty, which any person could rightfully reproduee. If the plaintif had obtained his copyright by appropriating this sketch, and recording the description, and complyiug with ■ the other formai requisites of the act of congress for obtain- ing a copyright, he would have acquired no exclusive right to it, because he would not have been the author, designer, or proprietor of the sketch. Assuming the plaintifï to have been the artist and designer of the picture copyrighted by him, the defendant was not liable if he did not avail himself, directly or indirectly, of the plaintiff's production. A copy- right secures the proprietor against the copying, by others, of the original work, but does not confer upon him a monopoly in the intellectual conception which it expresses. An artist cannot acquire such an exclusive right to the conception em- bodied and expressed in his picture as to preclude others from the exercise of their own creative genius or artistic skill, or from availing themselves of any part of the genial con- tribution of artistic production. The law of copyright originated in the recognition of the right of another to be protected in the manuscript which is the title of his literary property. This protection could not be adequate unless he was invested with the exclusive privi- lege of copying the manuscript, whether for sale or for pub- lication. It does not rest upon any theory that the author has an exclusive property in his ideas, or in the words in wMch he has clothed them. If each of two persons should compose a poem identically alike, he who first composed it would have no priority of title over the other, nor would he acquire priority by first publishing ifc. The law of copyright would protect each in hia own manuscript, but would not prevent either from nsing his own.

T. C. Campbell, for libellant Pangburn. Butler, Stillman e Hubbard, for bark Gunn. Coudert Bros., for libellant Conti and bark Eocca. Benedict, D. J. On the second day of August, 1878, the Italian bark Carmelita Eocca arrived in the slip ofip Kelsey's Btores, Brooklyn, and placed herself outside of the German ship Paulina, then mopred on the upper side of the wharf. A squall was threatening, and two hawsers were at once run from the stem of the Carmelita Eocca to the pier. Before her bow fastening could be put out, the Norwegian bark Gunn came into the slip in tow of a tug, and placed herself along-side of the Carmelita Eocca. The storm was then im- minent. Those in charge of the Gunn commenced at once to make fast by running lines to the Carmelita Eocca. Two lines were made fast to her, although warned that her fast- ening was not complete, and that permission to make fast to her could not be given. A hawser was also sent in a boat" from the Gunn, to be made fast to the pier. As the men were about to put the hawser over the spile on the pier, the lighter Helen Brown, having lost control of herself in the storm which was then ùpon them, drove against the hawser and pulled it from the hands of the men who had it, and Bubsequently brought up on the stern of the Gunn. About this time the master of the Gunn jumped on to the Carmel- ita Eocca and made fast a third Une to her, and at about the same time the two hawsers from the Carmelita Eocca to the pier parted, and both the Carmelita Eocca and the Gunn went adrift. They brought up on the canal-boat William Doran, lying further up in the slip, each vessel doing damage to the canal-boat. Some damage was also done meanwhile to the Carmelita Eocca by the Gunn, and some damage was also done to the German bark Paulina by the catehing of her yards by the Carmelita Eocca as she went adrift. Out of this occurrance the three entitled suits arose. The first is brought by the owner of the canal-boat William Doran, to recover for the damage done to that boat by the striking of the Gunn upon her. The second is by the same libellants, to recover for the damage done to the William Doran by the<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> d2787gk1ouvg2r3y07bd3pyiwglxwgo Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/51 104 641795 15134955 8171935 2025-06-14T22:25:22Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: whieh → which, AIi → AL , EEPO → REPO, REPOETER → REPORTER, DEEAL → DERAL, removed: � (6) 15134955 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>44 FEDERAL REPORTER. thority from, or fault of, the libelknt, it does not affect the contract as entered into by the parties. It is true that such an alteration (or, more accurately speaking, spoliation) would not affect the contractual relations of the parties. 1 Green. Ev. § 566. But, unfortunately for the libellant, this altera- tion, as already suggested, did not occur after the execution of the instrument had been completed. Itis true, Pew & Son had signed the paper, but it still remained in their hands, (Eobinson & Co. being their agents,) and was completely sub- ject to their wiU. Until delivered, as the evidence of their contract, the execution was incomplete. It had been for- •warded to them to sign and return to Hager & Co., who should hold it for the parties ; and until this was done the transac- tion was not completed, and no responsibility on the part of the appellant attached. As Mr. Birch, clerk for Hager & Co. testifies, the vessel "would not be considered chartered unless the paper came back signed." It did come back signed, but, unfortunately, at this time it was not the same as when the respondents' representative, Gardner, signed it. As respects the libellant it speaks as of the date when (through their agents) they delivered it to Hager & Co. Thus it is seen that the alteration was not made after the instrument was fully exe- cuted; that it is not a case of spoliation, such as is referred to by the authorities cited ; but, on the contrary, that the par- ties did not execute the same instrument, did not agree to the same thing, and consequently had no contract to which they were mutually bound. • The only terms to which the libellant could be held are those shown by the paper when delivered by their agent, and these terms (to which the re- spondents did not agree) are the terms recited in the libel and here sought to be enforced. The libel must be dismissed, and the respondents' counsel wiU prepare a decree accordingly.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ezoctwriqz4dko9nw4wem019val2zvv Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/75 104 641825 15134992 8172197 2025-06-14T22:25:59Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: whieh → which, wbo → who, PEDEEA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, TEB. → TER., removed: � (7) 15134992 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>68 FEDERAL REPORTER. The case of Coioper v. Godmoni, 9 Bing. 788, 23 E. C. L. 452, is in principle mucli like this. There the question was ■whether a plea of the statuts of limitations was a bar to an action for money had and reeeived to recover the considera- tion money of a void annuity, when the annuity was granted more than six years before the action was brought, but was treated by the grantor as an existing annuity within that period. "That question," said the court, "depends upon another : at what time did the cause of action arise ? The cause of action comprises two steps. The first is the origi- nal advance of the money by the grantee ; the second is the grantor's election to avail himself of the defect in the memo- rial of the annuity. The cause of action was not complete until the last step was taken." In the present case, also, the warranty contemplated two things — First, the giving of the credit by the United States ; and, second, its continuance. As the first requirement of this undertaking was complied with, no right of action could arise until the second was broken. That certainly did not occur until the United States elected to take back the credit it had given. It is true that in Cowper v. Godmond the election to disaf- firm was with the party to whom the payment was origi- nally made, but this does not affect the principle on which the right to recover rests. The object is to get back a con- sideration, which has failed, and in such cases it is evident there can be no cause of action until the failure is complete. In Cowper v. Godmond the payment was for the annuity, and the failure did not occur until the grantor of the annuity disafiSrmed his grant. Here the consideration was paid to get a credit with the United States, and the failure was not complete untU the credit which had once been given was \rithdrawn. This disposes of the case, as it is conceded the action was begnn within three years after the United States gave notice of its election to withdraw the credit.

It was submitted to the State court, the jury sworn, the proof submitted to the jury, and when the plaintiff got through with his * * * * evidence the defendant moved the court to dismiss the action hecause the plaintiff had not made out a sufficient case, and the record states that the judge, for that reason, dismissed it. Now, that is an ordinary case of nonsuit. Nonsuit is volun- tary or involuntary. Voluntary nonsuit is where a party sub- mits to tha court and says, "I have not made out a case," and asks that it be dismissed; involuntary nonsuit is just this case : when the case is before the jury, and the plaintiff hav- ing introduced all of his evidence, the defendants say, "It is not sufficient to go to the jury, and we ask for a nonsuit," and the court says, "You shall have it." All such cases, from time immemorial, have been eonsidered as not being judg- ments on the merits. The court says: "As far as you have gone you have not made out a case. That does not say that you caniiot go any further some other time, and taking the facts you cannot make a case, but says up to this time you have not made out a case ; you bave not made a case which requires that judgment on the merits should be rendered; you simply bave not made a case up to the present time." General Cole says, in this particular case the judge of the state court based the decision on the ground that the plain- tiff bas himself shown by bis testimony that he was in f ault, and that he was guilty of some contributory negligence, and he cannot recover if that bas been shown on the trial, and that had been so found by the jury. If he had gone to the jury, and the court had so instructed the jury, it would have been a trial on the merits. But the only way that we find this is in the opinion of the court. That opinion, in my judgment, is no part of the record. I doubt very much whether that opinion can be produced in this case — that is, to showit to the jury. I don't wish to preclude the question, but I don't see how you can produce that as a decision on the merits. Defendants say that the plaintiff had shown his own contributory negligence. It is very obvions that con- tributory negligence is a defence. That bas been decided<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> e4ccoahrjp5punnu88c6btxupne9hti Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/87 104 641837 15135013 8172321 2025-06-14T22:26:19Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (10) 15135013 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>'60 FEDERAL P.EPORTER. ndjoining promises, and their tenants, customers and em- ployes, and not a public highway. It follows from this that you must find for the defendant, unless you find, from tiie evidence, and in view of what I shall hereafter say, that the alley way was, with the assent of defendant, opened to and used by the public as a passage ■way. A proprietor of land -who opens a private way upon his own premises is under no obligations to keep the same in repair for the safety of persons who may pass over it unin- vited; and even when such proprietor permits persons gener- erally to pass over such way he does not make himself liable for accidents or injuries which may resuit from the fact that the way is not a safe one, or not in repair. The proprietor of such a way owes no duty to the public to keep it in repair for their use, and whoever uses it does so at his own risk, provided only that the proprietor, knowing that the public are in the habit of using the way, bas no right to place therein anything that he knows will endanger the safety of persons patsing over it, without giving warning of the danger. If you find that the alley way in which the plaintiff was injured was a private one, and was not open to and used by the public, you will return a verdict for the defendant. It is claimed by the plaintiff that the alley way in question, though laid out as a private way, was in fact open to and used by the publie generally, and that it had been so used for sometime prior to the accident, and that plaintiff knew that fact, and that, therefore, it was not negligence in him to attempt to pass over it ; also that the defendant knew that the public were in the habit of passing that way, and that persons so passing would be in danger of falling into the ex- cavation. It is for you to decide, from the evidence, whether theB,e were facts. In determining this question you will consider ail the facts and circumstances developed in the evidence.

T. Ewing, the defendant in this case, was duly appointed their assignee. Among the asseta which came to the hands of the defendant, as such assignee, were two notes of the complainant, Barrett B. Clark, and an alleged claim against him for certain goods belonging to the bankrupts, which he had taken possession of, and which he ought to account and pay for. Sometime in the month of May, 1875, said assignee commenced three suits at law against the complainant in the circuit court of Will county, in. this district, two of the suits being upon said notes, and the other upon the claim for the goods. Summons was duly issued in said causes, returnable at the June term of the court, and duly served upon the defendant in time for said term. Complainant alleges that he employed Honorable Jesse 0. Norton, an attorney of said court, to defend said causes; that, on the application of Mr» Norton, the rule to plead in said causes was extended several timea, and finally until the nineteenth of July, 1875, and said last-named day judgments by default were entered in said causes in the case for the goods for the sum of $240.30 — in one of the cases upon the notes for the sum of $1,140.20, and in the other case for $560, besides costs in each case; that Mr. Norton failed to file pleas in said causes by reason of illness, which existed at or about the time of the commencement of said June term, and under which he grew worse, until on the nineteenth of July, and for several days prior thereto, he had been wholly incapable of attending to any business, and to some extent was so far deranged as to be unfit to give any directions in regard to his professional business; that the defendant had a complete defence by way of set-off to all of said suits, and if he had been allowed a trial upon the merita he verily believes he would have been able to establish his said defence.

The exercise of the original and ordinary jurisdiction of the state courts in such case is, in no proper sense, an exercise of jurisdiction in bankruptcy. The fact that the plaintiff makes his title under the bankrupt act by assignment from the debtor, or by force of operation of the act itself, does not make the suit a matter or proceeding in bankruptcy any more than would a suit brought by an assignee appointed under the state insolvent law, to recover a debt owing to the insolvent, be a proceeding or matter in insolvency. It is quite clear that the state courts are not deprived of jurisdiction of actions, by assignees, to collect the asseta of the bankrupt by the section referred to. K this was the intention of congress it is reasonable to suppose that it would have been explicitly declared, and an intention to deprive the state courts of jurisdiction will not be inferred from doubtful language, nor will the words of a statute be extended beyond their strict meaning to accomplish . this resuit." With the exception of the case of Hallack v. Tritch, decided by Judge Hallett, from which I have quoted, no decision bas come to my knowledge by a federal court construing the effect of the amendment of 1874; and it is to be noted that the leamed judge in that case apparently based his decision mainly upon the authority of Olcott v. McLean. This case may be considered as .overruled by the subsequent cases in the same state, and especially by the exhaustive decision of the court of appeals in Kidder v. Horrobin, which I have just cited.

Each, within its own Bphere of governmental action, may exercise it. The United States T. Chicago, 7 How. 185; Kohi v. The United States, 91 U. S. 367. Should a case of conflict between the state and federal government arise, the paramount authority of the United States under the constitution would, of course, prevail. Thus, if the United States has, by proper proceedings, condemned and taken land for a fort, arsenal, navy yard or light-house, or for a post-office, custom-house or court-house, it would not be in the power of the state, in the exercise of its right of eminent domain, to take the same property. But the present case does not corne within this principle. The United States has never condemned the right of way of the Union Pacific Eailway, and taken it for its own use for public purposes, •within the meaning of the rule just stated. It has only chartered that oompany, given it the right to construct and operate a railway, and granted to it the right of way over public lands along its line, together with the right to take private property for the same purpose upon making just com- pensation. The distinction between this and the oondemna- tion of land under the right of eminent domain for national purposes, is too plain to require elaboration. I am clearly of the opinion that the right of wayof the Union Pacific Eail- way is not property of the federal government set apart for its own public use, so as to exempt it from the operation of the law of the state of Nebraska, above quoted, respecting the Crossing and Connecting of railroads, and the condemnation of property for those purposes. It is the property of the cor- poration acquired under a law of the United States. If, however, it were conceded to be the land of the United States, unless held for governmental purposes, it would, even in that case, be subject to the state's power of eminent domain. Land owned by the United States, as a mere proprietor, and not used for any of the purposes of the national government, may be taken by the state for public use. U. S. v.

The point, however, œost strenuously urged in behalf of Farrow is that, the circuit justice having appointed him to fill the vacancy occasioned by the expiration of his own term of office, there was no vacancy to fill, and the president could not, therefore, appoint Bigby to fill a vacancy which did not exist. This claim brings up for consideration the proper construc- tion of section 793, U. S. Eevised Statutes. That section provides: "In case of a vacancy in the office of district attor- ney, or marshal, within any circuit, the circuit justice of such circuit may fill the same, and the person appointed by him shall serve until an appointment is made by the president, and the appointee is duly qualified, and no longer." The resuit of this claim is that an appointment made by the circuit justice takes away the power of the president to appoint. In other words, that the power conferred by this section is precisely the same, in ail respects, as that conferred on the president by the third clause of section 2, art. 2, of the constitution, and section 1769, U. S. Eevised Statutes, supra. That is to say that congress bas given the president and the circuit justice the power to fill the same office at the same time, and that the appointee holds for the same length of time under the appointment of either; that whether the appointment is to be made by the president or the circuit jus- tice depends on which is swifter to act; that the power to appoint depends on the resuit of a scramble between the president. of the United States and a justice of the supreme •court. Such, it seems to me, could not have been the pur- pose of congress in enacting section 793. A glance at the section shows its object. It was not to enable the circuit justice to oust the power of the president to appoint, but to authorize him to fill the vacancy until the president should act, and no longer. The section expressly declares the term for which the appointee of the circuit justice shall serve, namely, until an appointment is made by the president.

The question which has been mainly discussed by eounsel is whether, under the facts of this case, it can be held that a criminal prosecution against the accused has been commeneed in a court of the state, within the meaning of section 643 of the Eevised Statutes of the United States. Leaving out that portion of the section which does not apply to this case it reads as foUows: "When any * * criminal prosecution is commeneed in any court of a state against any officer ap- pointed under or acting by authority of any revenue law of the United States now or hereafter enacted, or against any person acting under or by authority of any such officer, on account of any act done under color of his office or of any Buoh law, or on account of any right, title, or authority elaimed by such officer or other person under such law, * * the said prosecution may, at any time before the trial or final hearing thereof, be removed for trial into the circuit court next to be holden in the district where the same is pending, upon the petition of such defendant to such circuit court."

At this stage of the case this petition was interposed, and this court invoked to take the next judicial step in the prosecution. Does the clahn that there vv^as no court in which the prosecution was pending stand on any solid ground? In my judgment, clearly net. My conclusion is, therefore, that when this petition was filed it asked for the removal of a criminal prosecution which had been commenced against the petitioners in a court of the State of Georgia; and, as the petition sets out ail the other facts necessary under section 643 of the Revised Statutes to justify a removal of a criminal prosecution from a state to a federal court, that the filing of the petition and the service on the state court of a duplicate of the writ of habeas corpus cwm causa, ipso facto, removes the prosecution to this court.

It is as foUows : " At the time the alleged killing occurred they and all of them were officers appointed under and acting by author- ity of the internai revenue laws of the United States ; that they were deputy collectors of internai revenue in and for the second collection district of Georgia, which said collection dis- trict includes said county of Campbell, and that each of your petitioners were there, and then and there, acting under color of said of&ce and of said internai revenue laws, and that tha act for the alleged commission of which said affidavit was made, and said warrant of arrest waa issued, was performed, if performed at all, in their own necessary self-defence, and while engaged in the discharge of their duties as deputy col- lectors of internai revenue, as aforesaid, and while acting under authority of said internai revenue laws of the United States as aforesaid ; that what they did was done under and by right of their said office ; tîiat it was their duty to seize illicit distilleries and the apparatus that is used for the unlaw- ful distillation of spirits, and that while attempting to seize Buch distilleries as aforesaid in said collection district, and in said northern district of Georgia, and being engaged in such attempt to seize said distilleries under and by authority of the revenue laws of the United States as such deputy collect- ors as aforesaid, they were assaulted and fired upon with guns and other deadly weapons by a number of armed men, and that in the defence of their own lives they returned the fire of their assailants, which is the alleged murder mentioned in 8aid affidavit and warrant of arrest as aforesaid."

Violent resistance to the enforce- ment of the internai revenue laws of the United States haa not been uncommon in the vicinity of Eed Oak. This ia shown by the foUowing facta in evidence : One Eason, who was suspected of being a witness against violators of the rev- enue laws, had been murdered in that locality. About 5 o'clock p. M. of April 22d last two illicit stills, belonging to one Brown, were seized in the vicinity of Eed Oak, by a party of revenue officers, and were carried off by them in the direc- tion of Atîanta. The officers were pursued as far as East Point, within six miles of Atlanta, by an armed mob of between 20 and 40 meu. They passed up the road in pursuit, making threats against the officers, and it was declared in the crowd that no still should again be seized in their neighborhood. In this party was Jones, the man who was killed on June 24th. In the latter part of May last John G. Hendrix, deputy collecter of internai revenue, seized near Eed Oak two stills, one of them running. The man in charge of it fled to a house shouting for help, and fired a gun. Immediately iiring began in ail quartera, and men with guns were seen running in different directions, and the revenue officers thought it prudent to retire from that neighborhood, and did retire im- mediately. On June 16th last Hendrix, with a posse in search of illicit stills, while passing along the highway, about three miles from Eed Oak, was fired upon by a man standing in the door of a house. He fired six shots with a repeating rifle. After proceeding about a quarter of a mile Hendrix and his party were again fired into,at the same moment from three diiïerent directions, by men in ambush.

Two of the defendants in this case were of the party of Hendrix, and the facts of these assaults were communicated by him officially to the of&ce of the oollector, and peraonally to the defendant Port. The reputation of the Eed Oak neighborhood for violent resistance to the revenue law of&cers was known to the defendants. On this occasion the defendants each carried a breech-loading carbine, and had a supply of loaded cartridges. During the night of June 23d, and before the day of June the 24th, Port and his posse had found and destroyed three distilleries, and before 13 clock of June 24th two more, all within three miles of Eed Oak station. When halting for rest, after daylight, a party of three or four armed men were seen in the vicinity of the revenue posse, one of whom dropped down behind a tree. Among them was Jones, the deceased. They attracted the attention of the rev- enue officers, who all sprang to their feet, and the men ran away. Whenever a hait was made during the day the reve- nue posse put out pickets to guard against surprise and at- tack. About 2 o'clock p. m. of June 24th the defendants were proceeding along a public road in the direction of a still near Trimble's mill, of which they had heard, and which it was their purpose to seize. The road was bordered on both aides with woods and underbrush. At a bend in the road the revenue party suddenly met five men, all armed, who leveled their guns upon them. One of them was Jones, the deceased, another Eatteree, the third Koss, and the other two unknown. Eoss, who was a little in advance of the others, was taken Into custody and told to corne along with the revenue party, and if found all right he would be set at liberty. He was disarmed. The other four men ran into the woods and disap- peared, and as the revenue party advanced along the road opened fire from ambush on them. The guns of the revenue men were at this time empty, by the orders of Port, the offi- cer in charge. They at once loaded and returned the fire, shooting rather at random at the spots where they saw the smoke of their assailants' guns.

About 16 or 20 steps from the road was a cotton field, enclosed hy a fence. The space between the road and fence was thickly covered with underbrush, and it was from this covert that the tire upon the revenue men was delivered. Jones, who was afterwards killed, was seen to fire, although only a partof his person was exposed. When he fired he was about 10 steps from the fence, and was seen to turn and run towards the fence. The fire of the party in the buahes was promptly returned by the revenue men. Seven or eight shots were diacharged into the ambush. The officers then at once charged through the underbrush to the fence. Eatteree was found in the fence- corner outside the field, wounded in the arm and finger, Jones was seen to climb the fence and start across the field. He climbed the fence 15 or 20 steps from where Eatteree was lying. As Jones got down from the fence he fell forward on his hands and knees. He got up and started across the field, ran 25 or 50 yards and fell again. He again got up and ran from 100 to 125 yards, and fell dead. One of the witnesses thinks he fell, in ail, four times. Jones was found to be shot through the body, the bail entering his back and coming out at his breast. A double-barreled shot gun was found near him, both barrels of which appeared to have been recently diacharged, and a pouch oontaining ammunition was found on his person. Two other persons disappeared in different directions. The claim on the part of the state is that as Jones was running through the fields, with his back to his pursuers, he was fired upon by them, and so received the fatal shot. This claim is supported by the evidence of Eoss, who was in cus- tody of the revenue party at the time, and by F. G. Suttles, who witnessed the occurrence from his house, 500 or 600 yards distant. The testimony for the defendants is to the effect that but few shots were fired after Jones crossed the fence, and these were aimed at the other persons, who were endeavoring to «scape in other directions.

But, in my view of the facts, his arrest was not unlawful. It is shown by the evidence, and there is no conflieting testimony on tbis point, that this band of five armed men, of whom Koss was one, met the rev- enue officers in the highway, where they were passiug along in the diseharge of their duty, and levelled their guns at them. That Eoss and his comrades knew who the revenue men were, and what their business was, the testimony does not leave in any sort of doubt. Their conduct, therefore, in thus coufro/it- ing, with arms, the revenue officers was a violation of law, and justified the arrest of the whole party. To hold that these revenue officers, one of whom was also a deputy marshal, should have waited, before making an ar- rest for an offenoe of which they were eye-witnesses, until they could get a United States commissioner and swear ont a warrant, is entirely to misconceive the power and duty of an officer of the law. Their duty was then and there to arrest, if they could, these men who had obstructed them in the discharge of their duty. The right of the citizens to resist an officer who is wilfully acting illegally, without authority, or in excess of his author- ity, is undoubted. I shall always uphold that right; it is essential to all free govemment. On the other hand, the right of the officer, acting in the line of his duty, to protect his person and his life from unlawful violence, stands upon the highest grounds. In this case there was a party of 13 men, all bearing com- missions as deputy colleetors of internai revenue for the dis- trict in which thisunfortunate tragedy occurred. They were required, by their duty and their orders, to go through this neighborhood. They were supposed to be protected by the majesty of the law and the authority of the United States. The revenue laws of the general government were, to say the least, of as great force in Campbell county, and in the vicin- ity of Eed Oak station, as the laws of the state of Georgia.

In Rappleye v. International Bank, N. W. Eep. (1 111. Sup.) 68, a trust deed made to defraud oreditors was avoided at the Btiit of the defendant, whioh thereupon claimed and obtained a priority in the payment of its judgment from the proceeda of the land thus oonveyed by the debtor. The court held, in the language of the syllabus, that "a conveyance, fraudulent as to creditors, is binding on the grantor, so that there is no estate, legal or equitable, remaining in him on whioh a judg- ment lien oould attach. The lien only attaches on the avoiding of the deed by the creditor, so that he -who thus avoids the deed has the prior lien." In Smith t. Ingles, 2 Or. 43-44, it was held that the lien of a judgment does not extend to an equity or an equitable title. The case was this : Ingles purchase^. real property, and for the purpose of defrauding his oreditors took the conveyance to his minor children. Burns, a judgment creditor of Ingles, sold the property upon an execution, as the property of th« latter, and became the purchaser thereof . Subsequent to the entry and docketing of this judgment Ingles mortgaged the premises to Smith, and after the sale Smith brought suit to enforce the lien of his mortgage, making Burns a party. Tha court held that the lien of Burns' judgment did not affect tha property. As the law of the state is the law of this case, it is claimed that the ruling in Smith v. Ingles is the decision of this question in favor of the assignee. The case is not clear in some points, but upon authority the transaction was not a conveyance by the debtor in fraud of his creditors within the etatute, and therefore void, but a purchase by Ingles in tha name of others with a fraudulent intent. This being so, as to the creditors, equity would hold the grantees in the con- veyance to be the trustees of a resulting trust in favor of Ingles, and subject the trust estate to the payment of his debts. Bump on Fraud. Con. 237 ; Guthrie v. Gardner, 19 Wend. 414- 415. In this view of the matter the e&de is scaroely in point.

It was urged by the leamed counsel of the defendant, on the argument, that if the surrender and release took place, as alleged, such act rendered the whole contract void, and the plaintiffs were out of court; and in support of this view the well-recognized principle of law was quoted, that where there are mutual covenants and joint covenantees a release of one is a release of all. It is true that if several covenantees enter into joint covenants, and the covenantor afterwards release one or more, he will not be permitted to maintain a suit on the covenants against the remaining covenantees, because such a release destroyed his right of action against the survivors ; but that is not this case and the principle does not apply. Here, five men acquire certain rights and privileges in a patented article; they pay $1,000 in cash for the license, and agree to pay a stipulated royalty, besides, for all that they ean use in a deaignated business. The patentee subsequently agrees with three of the licensees that they sha.ll be released from the contract, and this ia done without any consultation with the remaining two. These two, faithfully performing all their covenants and agreements, insist that the licensor shall continue to perfonn his, as to thetn, and, upon failure, institute their suit for its breaoh of covenants. Why should the defendant be allowed to claim that those -whom it bas released, and who bave no interest, should be parties, and to defeat the reeovery because they are not joined? Nothing but the most absolute necessity would justify the court in perniitting the defendant corporation thus to plead and take advantage of its own act to escape responsibility. I do not perceive such necessity, and am constrained to overrule the demurrer, with costs.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 0uppj1gqrfws3wd2n3tf5v2krh8hns1 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/183 104 641933 15134909 14644140 2025-06-14T22:24:37Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (18) 15134909 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>178 FEDERAL REPORTER.

The purpose- of the petition is no les3 than to set aside the sale of a ruilroad which is perhapa ■worth $20,000,000, or more; a road which has been reor- ganized since the purchase, with a new set of directors, a new set of stockholders, very largely and above ail, a new set of bond holders. The road was purchaaed under a decree of this court, the purchase was confirmed, and a new company organized, which has been in possession of the road over a year, and has issued, as I say, some $10,- 000,000 or $15,000,000 of new bonds, held all over the world ; and now original bond holders in the old company, represent- ing $1,500,000, corne and ask that all these prooeedings be set aside, and that we proceed de novo to sell the road. These petitioners were not parties to that suit in the sense in which they now seek to be made parties. The first thing that they" ask in the present proceeding is that they may be made parties. If they were parties at all — as in some sense they were, and represented by their trustees in the prooeedings of foreclosure — they were not parties in such a sense as would enable them to control the litigation, or corne forward now as parties orig- inally engaged in the litigation; and they, therefore, seek, very properly, if they are to have any relief in this proceed- ing, to be made parties in the first instance. The first ques- tion that presents itself is whether they can be made parties. Taking all to be true that they say in their petition, the case stands that, during the prooeedings of foreclosure, these petitioners ought to bave been represented, and were legallyrep- resented, by the trustees, plaintiffs in the foreclosure suit. The foreclosure was manfully resisted by the corporation for three or four years. It was obvious that the mortgage ought to be foreclosed, and the road sold, as the interest had not been paid for years. The present applicants state that the road, at that time, was worth say $8,000,000. Fifteen million dollars of bonds were liens upon it, with whatever other claims there may bave been against it, besides the interest coupons, so that the road had a bonded debt of twice the amount these peti- tioners say it was then worth.

The doctrine has been applied to the case of a bank having possession of funds claimed by adversary parties, which is this case. The City Bank of New York v. Skelton, 2 Blatchf . 14. 4. The remedy in such a case is, as will be seen from an examination of the foregoing authorities, by bill of inter- pleader, which is an original bill, filed by a person who claims no interest in the subject-matter, in opposition to the person against whom the bill is exhibited, but prays the decree of the court touching the rights of those persons for the safety of the plaintiff in the bill. Story's Eq. PL § 18. The remedy is here sought by means of a cross-bill, filed in a case already commenced ; but upon examining this pleading I find that it is in substance, and in everything but name, an original bill of interpleader, and I am qî the opinion that for the purposes of this motion it may be regarded as an original suit brought by the bank, in the nature of a bill of interpleader, against the several claimants of the fund in controversy. It was filed before answering the original bill, and it contains ail the substantial allegations of a bill of interpleader, including a prayer for process and for relief. Story's Bq. PL c. 6. In form, the bill, considered as a bill of interpleader, may be slightly defective, but in substance it is sufficient, and in considering the question of jurisdiction we will look to the substance rather than to the form. As the whole contro- Tersy is presented by the crosa-bill, and can be settled there- under, I bave no hesitation in holding that this court has jurisdiction, and the motion to dismiss is accordiugly over- ruled.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 0pjhfdv9qcp5o3vhac4lhncpf41klg5 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/259 104 642010 15134915 8171672 2025-06-14T22:24:43Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, removed: � (7) 15134915 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>252 niDSBAii BSPORTiia. skesr were destroyeel, and the deok was damaged. If, at the time when it was apparent to the master of the steamer that a collision ■vras inevitable, her speed had been checked and her engines reversed to the extent of their ability, the vio- lenca of the collision wonld have been greatly lessened, and the damage woald have baen slight ; but her engines were not reversed, and on the coutrary were kept in motion after th« collision. The theory of the steam-boat is that at the time of the col- lision the wittd was blovring moderately from the west north- west, the weather was threatening and it was dark, but ther» vas no difficulty in seeing lights which were preperly set and burning. The persons in command of the boat while she was heading about west south-west saw, by the aid of glasses, a dim, colorless light, not visible to the naked eye, about two points off her port bow, which was supposed to be the binnacle light of a vessel sailing westward, and that this was the only visible light at that time. Immediately upon this diseovery the course of the steamer was changed about two points to the northward, and at the same time the engine was slowed. Instantly the reflection of the steamer's head-light was seen npon the sails of a vessel heading about north north-west, and lying in the wind, or nearly so. At this time the Behooner's men were reefing. The steamer's helm was forth- with put hard a-port, and the engines were reversed and backed, and ail means taken to avoid a collision. While the steamer was headed about west, half north, the bluff of the Bchooner's starboard bow struck the port guard of the steamer between the capstan and the pilot-house. The schooner swung alongside of the steamer, and in this movement several of the arms of the port wheel of the steamer were broken. Thô claimants also allege that no lighted torch was shown by the schooner to the approaching steamer, and that if ono had been shown the collision would not have occurred, and deny that the schooner's lights were properly burning. The facts which are found to bave been proved are as fol- lows : The wind was about west north-west. Shortly before the collision the schooner had been reefed.

The mate had been recently employed, and did not know that there was a torch on board. It was not used. There waa time enough to have lighted and shown it to the advancing steamer after the mate saw the approaching danger. If it had been shown the collision might have been avoided. The captain and mate -were both of opinion, and this they state is the prevailent opinion and practice of the officers of coasting vessels, that a torch is to be used only when a steamer is approaching a saUing vessel from astem. This construction of section 4234 of the Eevised Statutea is not warranted by its language, and is not recognized in the decisions upon the subject. Judge Lowell says : "I sup- pose the new regulation in the act of 1871 was intended to give an additional warning to steamers, in case of need, and one the use or neglect of which could not well be disputed, BO that if the red and green lights were not lighted, or were dim, or were overlooked, there should be still another means of calling attention to the sailing vessel." The Leopwrd, 2 Lowell, 238 ; The Titian, 6 Ben. 346. The conclusion is that the collision was not due to the neg- ligence of the steamer, and that the statutory precautions to avoid a collision were not taken by the schooner, and the libellants have not sustained the burden of showing that this neglect did not materially contribute to cause the collision.

The court said: "It is evident that a loss must be sus- tained, either by the plaintiff or defendant in error, by the failure of the Commonwealth Bank. We see no good ground for maintaining that there is any superior equity on the sida of the New England Bank. It contributed to give the cor- poration, which bas proved insolvent, credit with the plaintiff in error, by the notes and bills which it placed in its hands to be sent to Washington for collection, indorsed in sueh a form as to make them prima fade the property of the Common- wealth Bank, and enable it to deal with them as if it were the real oxvner." It will be seen that the case was decided upon the ground that the paper was indorsed so as to show, prima fade, a .perfect title in the indorsee, thus enabling the latter to use it as its own, and to get credit on the faith of absolute ownership. It is olear that had the indorsement been re- stiicted in its character, so as to show the continued owner- ship of the New England Bank, the resuit would have been different. Of the effect of restrictive indorsements I ehall speak hereafter. In the case of Wilson dt Co. v.

And it was also held that in such a case the sub-agent can- not retain part of the proceeds on aceount of a debt of the agent, unless he has given credit on the faith that the agent owned the bill.

L Statutort Construction— Exemption prom Taxation.— The char- ters of the earlier railroad companies iucorporated by the state of Tennessee contained exemptions from taxation ; but in later charters the legislature, to save repetition, instead of enumerating all the pow- ers and Immunities intended to be granted, was content to refer to Bome earlier charter, and give to the new company " aU the righta, powers, and privileges" of the old. It is clear that the legislature Intended to confer these " rights, powers, and privileges " as fully as if speciflcally repeated in the new charter ; and such was the recognized construction of 3uch charters by all the departments of the state government for more than 20 years. 2.

Said act further provides for the appointment by the gov- ernoï of three commis eioners, to be styled "railroad assess- ors for the state at large." To these commissioners the comptroller is required to deliver the "schedules aforesaid." When this is done the commissioners are "to proceed to ascertain, test, and value the property belonging to said Com- pany," upon the basis prescribed in said act, and value said property and certify their estimates to the comptroller ; and "when such valuation is approved by the governor, seeretary of state, and treasurer, the comptroller is directed to "ascer- tain the amount of taxes due the state, and notify the Com- pany thereof, and if not paid he may issue his distress war- rant to any sheriff in the state, to be levied upon any personal or real property or franchises of the company, with power to sell the same and make a deed to the purchaser;" and "the governor is authorized to issue his warrant to any sheriff, along the line of said railroad, to put such purchaser into the possession of such road and all its property." Said act further directs the comptroller to certify to the county court clerk of each county through which a railroad runs the amount to be taxed by said county for county pur- poses, and likewise to the mayors of incorporated towns through which the road passes the amount to be taxed by such towns ; and the clerk is required to enter the same upon the collector's books, specifying the amount of taxes to be coUected, etc. The legislature, by the eleventh section of said act, pro- vided further: "That every railroad company which will accept as a special amendment to its charter, for a period of ten years from the first day of January, 1875, and that will pay annually to the state IJ per cent, on its gross receipts from all sources, shall be exempt from the provisions of the foregoing sections, (there recited above,) and the payment of said 1|- per cent, upon all gross earnings of said road shall be in full (for the period mentioned, ten years) of all taxa- tion."<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> bfqap4rp1fzwrw94ep2qw8lemp48f9u Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/279 104 642030 15134920 14561140 2025-06-14T22:24:48Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FSDK → FEDE, TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (8) 15134920 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>S73 FEDEBàL BSPORTER. for taxation at the gross sum of $3,370,700, and oertified their action to the eomptroUer. At this juncture complainant filed ifcs bill, in and by which it prays for an injunction restraining the comptroller "from certifying to the county court clerk of each county, and like- wise to the mayor pf each incorporated town, the amount assessed as af oresaid to be taxed by said counties or towna respectively against complainant for the years mentioned;" and "if, before this application for an injunction can be made, said defendant (the comptroller) shall have made said cer- tificate, thep that by mandatory injunction he be ordered to ■withdraw the same," and for other and appropriate relief. A restraining order was granted until this application could be hpard, and we are now, after full argument, called on to decide whether complainant is entitled to the injunction prayed for. The doctrine that the legislature of a state unrestricted by constitutional prohibition, has power to contract in a charter authorizing the formation of a corporation for an exemption of its property from taxation, has not been denied in the argument of this case. The right to do this has been repeatedly afiSnned by the supreme court of the United States. Tomlinson v. Branch, 15 Wall. 460. And the supreme court of the state has held, in the K. e 0. R. Co. v. Hicks, 1 Leg. Eep. 343, that no sueh prohibition is contained in the constitution of 1834 — the constitution in force when the several charters, under which the complainant claims exemption, were passed. It'is further admitted that the twenty-ninth section of the act incorporating the Nash ville & Chattanooga Eailroad Com- pany is a good and valid exemption to that company for the period therein specified; and that the complainant has, by its lease, consolidation, and purchase, sueceeded to all the rights, privileges, and immunities of the several corporations ■which it represents in this litigation.

Most words possess different shades of meaning. In one connec- tion they may mean one thing, and in another and different connection another and quite a diiïerent thing. The same Word is often used with distinctly different meanings in the Bame statute ; and yet the courts give to it, in each connec- tion in which it is employed, the meaning which the legisla- ture intended it to have in that particular connection. An illustration of this is found in the constitution itself in the use of this very word "privilege." It is found elsewhere in that instrument than in the eleventh article. It frequently occurs in the constitution, and is so used as to involve every shade of meaning of which it is, according to lexieographers, susceptible. Now, if the framers of the constitution bave thus employed it, with one meaning in one place, and with another and different meaning in other places, what .be- comes of the hypothesis that its meaning bas been consti- tutionally defined by the eleventh article? It must fall to the ground. And this, out of the way, we are at liberty to interpret the terms "rights and privileges," as defined by judicial and lexical authorities. Webster says that privilege is a right or immunity not enjoyed by others — an exemption from an evil or burden; *hat under the Eoman law it denoted some peculiar benefit, Bome right or advantage, not enjoyed by others, etc. Crabbe says it signifies a law made in favor of an individual. It consists of some positive advantage, exemption, or immunity. In its more extended sense it comprehends every prerogative, exemption, and immunity. Abbott defines it to be a right or immunity by way of exemption from the general law. Bou- vier defines it as a private law in derogation of common right. Paschal says it is a special right belonging to an individual or class; properly an exemption from some duty — an immu- nity from some general burden or obligation. Mr. .Justice Washington says that an exemption from taxes is embraced by the general description of privileges. And in State v.

King, left Chicago, bound to Frankfort, Michigan, to load part of her tow with lumber, thence to Cheboygan, and thence to Buffalo or Tonawanda. The libellant was a seaman upon the schooner King, and by the shipping articles, which are in the usual form, he.and the rest of the crew agreed "to work on any vessel in our tow, and on any lighter that may be used to load or lighten our vessels, and to work any place<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> g1oc0u47a0hyg3h9laqxbutiraowtr3 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/311 104 642063 15134924 8171726 2025-06-14T22:24:52Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (7) 15134924 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>SOe VaOSRkh BEFORTER. appears "thai the weather was threatening." There was, indeed, no immediate danger to the Davidson, but the uncon- tradicted evidence is that "ahe lay in a very dangerous place," in the event of a change of weather. Captain Starkey swears it was his opinion that there was an "absolute necessity" to get the schooners loaded and out, for the safety of the David- son. James Carr, the master of the Orgarita, and James Davidson, the master of the steam barge and owner of the three vessels, testify respectively that they entertained a sim- ilar opinion. Charles Cardnell, a mariner on-board the Orga- rita, who helped to stow the lumber on the King, testifies : "I considered it necessary for that loading to be done, on Sunday for the safety of the Davidson, or I would not have worked myself. I was a caulker on board the Orgarita, and was not obliged to work then." The alacrity with which the other men, to the number of 40, worked in loading the King, indicates that they held the same view as the witness Cardnell. I am satisfied from ail the evidence that, with reference to the situation of the Davidson, there was a reasonable neces- sity for the Sunday labor which the libellant was called upon to perform. It was, however, for the master of the King, under the then existing circumstances, to determine whether the work of loading the sohooner was necessary for the safety of the Davidson, and obedience to his orders was the plain duty of the libellant. It was not for him to sot up his judg- ment against that of the master. That it was Sunday was no excuse for his refusai to perform the duty required of him, (The Richard Matt, 1 Bisa. 440;) and I am of opinion that the master of the King had a clear right to discharge the libellant for his disobedience. Had these four rebeUious seamen been permitted to remain on board their spirit of insubordination might have infected the rest of the crews. I think the libellant forfeited his wages for the five days he worked on the, King, (The Richard Matt, aupra,) and I will therefore disçûiss his libel, but will deoree no costs against him. And now, to-wit, August 2, 1880, the libel in thia case is dismissedi<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 58esexh29wtqz77j56qm20nufgy70gi Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/335 104 642090 15134925 8171740 2025-06-14T22:24:53Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (6) 15134925 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>823 FEDEBaL BSPORTER. law, and that courts are always prompt to seize hold of any circumstances that indicate an election to waive a forfaiture, or an agreement to do so on -which the party has relied and acted. Any agreement, declaration, or course of action on the part of an insurance company which leads a party insured honestly to believe that by conforming thereto a forfeiture of his policy will not be incurred, foUowed by due conformity on his part, will and ought to estop the company from insisting upon the forfeiture, although it might be claimed under the express letter of the contract." And it was, aocordingly, in that case held that where an insurance company had been in the habit of notifying the assured of the time when and place where premiums were to be paid, he had reasonable cause to expeet and rely on receiving such notice, and that the com- pany was estopped from setting up that the policy was for- feited by the non-payment of a premium of which no such notice was given. In the present case it appears that in 1876 the company notified the assured that the Hennepin County Savings Bank, at Minneapolis, was its agent, to whom premi- ums should be paid. In March, 1877, the defendant ap- pointed a new agent at Minneapolis, and when notices were, in that month, sent out to policy holders, the company adopted a rule to send a circular with each notice, informing the assured of the place where and the agent to whom pay- ment should be made^ The jury find that this circular was not sent to Seamans. He did not, therefore, know of the change of the agency, and naturally supposed he was to pay to the party to whom he had paid the year before. He sent his money in due time to that party. He did not send it to St. Paul, at which place he was informed there was an agent, because he had been notified that he must pay to the agent at Minneapolis. That the company understood it to be their duty to inform him of the change of the agency, is clear from the fact that they adopted a rule to do this in ail cases, and omitted it in his case by oversight. Under the circumstanc«s, I do not think the assured was bound to hunt for an agent in the city of Minneapolis to whom he could make payment.

St. 1878, c. 75, § 2), by a party in possession of real property, to settle an adverse elaim, belongs on the equity docket. Meighen v. Strong, 16 Minn. 177, foUowed. Motion to transfer suit to equity docket. Henry J. Horn, for plaintifîa. Albert L. Levi, for defendant. Nelson, D. J. This case belongs on the equity docket. The statute permitting a party in possession of real property to bring a suit to settle an adverse claim reads as follows: "An action may be brought by any person in possession, by himself or his tenant, of real property, against any person •vrho claims an estate or interest therein, or lien upon the same, adverse to him, for the purpose of determining such adverse claim, estate, lien, or interest ; and any person hav- ing or claiming titleto vacant or unoccupied real estate may bring an action against any person claiming an estate or interest therein adverse to him, for the purpose of determin- ing such adverse claim, and the rights of the parties respect- ively." Gen. St. of Minn. (1878) c. 75, § 2. This statute enlarges the class of cases in which equity affords relief in quieting title and possession of real estate. It was necessary, previous to the enactment of this statute, that the right of the party in possession should be established by repeated judgments in his favor, in actions at law against him, before he could maintain a suit. This statute confers upon the possessor of real property a new right which enables him, without delay, to draw. to himself outstanding inferior titles ; and the facts are not to be tried by a jury unless tha court orders an issue, or the parties consent to such trial. Buch was the opinion of the supreme court of the state, Meighen v. Strong, 6 Minn. 177-182.

De Groat, 1 Paine, C. C. Eep. 203, the in- vention was for folding thread and floss cotton in a manner different from the ordinary mode, -whereby it would sell quicker and higher. The court said : "The article itself undergoes no change; and the whole of the împrovement — for it is a patent for an improvement — consista in putting up skeins of it, perhaps of the same size in which they are imported, decorated with a label and wrap- per, thus rendering tbeir appearance somewhat more attract- ive, and inducing the unwary not only to give it a preference to other cotton of the same fabric, quality, and texture, but to pay an extravagant premium for it.

Crane, for plaintiff. Frederick H. Betts, for defendant. WnEELER, D. J. This suit is upon a patent to the plain- iiff, numbered 63,419, and dated April 2, 1867, for a bond and coupon register. The defendant sets up and insista that this register is not a subject for a patent within the law; ihat the invention was tendered to and used by William E. Warren and John O'Brien before the plaintiff' s invention ; and that it is not liable for the infringement shown. The principal argument upon the first point rests upon the «laim that the register should have been copyrighted instead of being patented, and Drury v, Ewing, 1 Bond, 540, is much relied upon to support that proposition. A copyright is a right to copy merely, as the word imports, and covers only the multiplication of copies. Perris v. Hexamer, 99 U. S. 674; Baker v. Selden, S. C. U. S., Oct. 7, 1879, Alb. Law J., Feb. 28, 1880, p. 168. The plaintiff's invention is of a book with a page, or pages, spaced for each bond and its coupons of any series of coupon bonds, and with the spaces numbered and designated to show what bonds and coupons they are for, while any of them are outstanding, and for receiving them for safe-keeping as vouchers, or memoranda, when any of them are taken up or paid. The plan is the same for regis- ters for different bonds of a series, and for different series of bonds, but the registers are not copies of one another, and the right to multiply copies would afford no protection at ail.

An express stipulation for demurrage, in a contract of affreightment, is not necessary to entitle the owner of a vessel to compensation for her unnecessary or improper detention in loading or unloading. Eeasonable promptitude in delivering a cargo at its point of shipment, and in receiving it at its destination, is a duty implied in such , contracts, and for a violation of it damages in the nature of demurrage are recoverable, This is too well settled, both in England and in this country, to need discussion or authority.

The answer admits the material averments of fact, and deni-^s the inferences of law. The Eevised Statutes have brought together in one title the several acts concerning merchant seamen, and section 4515 declares that if an y master, mate, or other officer of a vessel, knowingly receives or accepts, to be entered on board of any merchant vessel, any seaman who has been engaged or sup- plied contrary to the provisions of that title, the vessel on board which any such seaman shall be found, shall, for every Bueh seaman, be liable to a penalty of not more than $200. The asserted illegality of the engagement of the five sea- men, for which a penalty not exceeding $1,000 is here sued for, consists in a breach of the Eevised Statutes, §§ 4520 and 4521, which require every master of a vessel above 50 tons burden, bound from a port of one state to a port in any other than an adjoining state, to make a eontract in writiu^' or in print with every seaman; and declare that if any master shall "carry ont" any seaman, without such eontract being first made, the seaman shall have the highest rate of wages and certain other rights, and the master shall be liable to a penalty of $20 for every such seaman, one-half for the United States, and one-half for the common informer.

A large part of the testimony has been directed to that point, and th« witnesses have all conourred in saying that the vein extends right along from one point to the other. We. used to have Bome controversy as to whether it could be pursued in that manner, if it declined by only a small degree, only a little from the plane of the horizon. The witnesses stated that it •was twelveor fifteen degreea below the plane of the horizon, and it used to be contended here in this court, and in other courts of the state, that they could not hold the vein if it de- clined in only a small degree from the plane of the horizon; they said that the law should be applied to veins which are more vertical in tbeir course, but we have heard nothing of that in this case. That point was decided against that view whenever it was made, and we have heard nothing of it in this case; it is not a question in issue, for it has not been raised, either by the instructions submitted to me, or requests to charge, or arguments of counsel.

You will remember the evidence about that drift that runs away oflf across the map down to the lef t, down to the northwest — I have sometimes to stop to get these directions myself, although I ought to be very familiar with them — down to the northwest, and which may tend to prove that out in that direction the top or apex of the Iode, if there is any, may be down lower below this claim and upon the Iron Hat, or somewhere down there. If that were a ques- tion in issue here we should have some difficulty about it, but it is not. As to this particular ground that is in con- troversy between the plaintiffs and defendants, it is agreed that if there is any top and apex whetever it is there along where the witnesses have explored the ground, and which they mentioned in their testimony, from along in those first workings to the north of the main incline, and not very fai<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> nukbt16wumtukbkixidncjjfpovwow7 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/381 104 642139 15134935 8171792 2025-06-14T22:25:03Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTEB → PORTER, removed: � (7) 15134935 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>Sli FEDERAL RePORTER. or gangue that may have been found on the western face of the limestone. It is not my purpose to go over the evidence on that point, or even to mention the principal points in it. That has been done by couneel, and you are to consider ail that has been brought before you on the subject. But I draw your attention to that theory, and say to you that if the vein or Iode was formed in the way supposed, in connection with a much larger extent of the same matter, and this part, detached from another, was brought into its present position by some movement of the country, occurring after the Iode was deposited, that circumstance will give it unity and individuality as distinguishing it from every part to the west of it. And, if that theory be correct, the occurrence of ore or gangue on the western face of the limestone is not material, for the uplifted part lying on the upper face or plane of the limestone to the eastward, having been detached from the mass of which it was originally a part, gains by that circumstance a new end or terminal point, by which it may be held. In that view the fissure, if any, on the western face of the limestone, occurring after the other in point of time, has a distinct character of its own, and if it carries ore may be taken and held as a distinct Iode." You understand, gentlemen, that it may be separated from the other, originating at a different time, and thus having a different character, although it connects, at the points men- tioned by witnesses, with the other fissure; it may be re- garded as a distinct body in it itself, which may be taken as Bucb, if it has anything in it of value. "In that view, if you find that it is sustained by the evi- dence, the plaintiffs have the top and apex of the Iode in their location, and I do not discover any other point which should give you difficulty in arriving at a verdict for the plaintiffs. And, generally, in support of that view it should be borne in mind that a fissure on the western face of the limestone, de- Bcending with the slope of the hill, would seem from its posi- tion, and may appear from the evidence, to bave but little value; and if by taking it in connection with another fissure, standing at right angles with it, or nearly, the latter carrying<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> hrnd200qutdi75xqy51bcy7wuxlig2p Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/387 104 642145 15134936 8171798 2025-06-14T22:25:04Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, POBT → PORT, ORTBB → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (9) 15134936 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>880 FEDERAL REPORTER. could not get the money from complainant without the signa- ture of Mrs. Werges to the note. In order, therefore, to get the money Kreuger forged the name of Mrs. Werges to the note. Perhaps he aasuined in his own mind that he might do this ■with impunity, if not propriety, since by signing her name he would not substantially increase her liability, seeing that she had agreed to pledge her land by mortgage for the debt ; or it is possible that to Kreuger's mind it appeared that the name of Mrs. Werges to the note would, under the circum- stances, be at most a mere matter of form. The note and mortgage must be treated as one contract. The parties evidently so intended them. They were delivered togetber, and at the same time, as security for the debt. The complainant would not otherwise have received them, and advanced the money upon them. Considered in this light, they must be construed together, and their true character is that of accommodation paper. The paper was especially Bueh as to Mrs. Werges, who received no consideration what- everfor executing the mortgage. Casper A. Werges executed the note for the accommodation of the firm to which he be- longed, and his wife joined him in the mortgage to secure the same. She was clearly a surety for the firm of Kreuger & Werges. She executed the mortgage for the accommodation of that firm. The note and mortgage were in form given to Kreuger, and made payable to his order, to enable him to indorse the note, and thus transfer both note and mortgage to the complainant as security for the money to be loaned by the plaintiff to the firm. While the note and mortgage were in the hands of Kreuger, and before the transfer, Kreuger forged Mrs. Werges' name to the note. He thus entirely ehanged her relation to the transaction. He made her a principal instead of a surety in the contract evideneed by the note and mortgage. Can it be doubted that the moment Kreuger ehanged the contract with- out Mrs. Werges' consent she was released? She signed the contract for the accommodation of the firm.

Hence, it ia argued that the provision of the mortgage, that it should stand as a security for the payment of the note of Casper A. Werges to B. H. Kreuger, was more a matter of form than substance, and that it can be no wrong to Mrs. Werges to compel payment by the sale of lier prop- erty of the very debt that she purposely pledged it to pay. It will be seen that this argument is exceedingly ingenions jnd plausible. It is, however, in my judgment, untenable. Mrs. Werges saw fit to pledge her land by mortgage to pay a note executed by her husband to Kreuger. Non constat that she would have mortgaged her property in any other form. If she had been asked to give a mortgage to secure ths debt of the firm of Kreuger & Werges to the plaintiff, she might, for aught we know, bave refused. Parties may con- traot in a certain form, and they bave a right to do so. The law cannot change their contract, and hold them to the sub- stance of it in a wholly different form. The debt in this case was not Mrs. Werges'. The consid- eration did not move to her. Her property is bound for it only by virtue of her express contract. She cannot be made liable on the ground that she received the consideration, and therefore that, irrespeetive of the written evidence, she ia bound to pay the debt. She can be made liable for the debt only in pursuance of the terms of her written contract, and not otherwise. In order to have fixed her liability, or rather that of her property, it would bave been necessary, as the contract was actually made for Mersman, to present the note to Casper Werges, the maker, and protest it for non- payment. Setting aside the note as a part of the contract, and proceeding directly upon the mortgage, ik) demand, notice, or protest was necessary.

This is a bill to quiet title to a tract of land in the city of Omaha, known as part of block 172|- in the Omaha City Gompany's survey. This snrvey was made prior to the time when the title of the United States was «xtinguished. The government title, however, subsequently Tested in one John A. Horhach, who made several deeds, describing the land conveyed by reference to said plat. It appears that lots were bought and sold during a considerable period of time by reference thereto, and that the plat was published and well known in the community. The principal question in dispute here is as to whether the land now in oontroversy is identical with said block 172J. Both parties claim under Horbach as a common source of title, and eaeh holds a deed for a tract of land coming from him through several meane conveyances. On the sixteenth of Jan- uary, 1868, Horbach conveyed by warranty deed, to one Moffat, eight lots in said block 172^; in February, 1858, Moffat con- veyed the same by the same description to B. F. Allen; and in March, 1876, Allen conveyed to defendant, Miller.

In such a case we should be called upon to order that the party guilty of usury, and liable for a penalty therefor, should relieve himself from such liability by credit- ing the amount of the penalty upon a worthless claim against a bankrupt estate. That would be to defeat the evident pur- pose of the law. I am of the opinion that the bank must pay the judgment obtained by the plaintiff as assignee. Its share of the proceeds of the judgment wiU go to the satisfac- tion of its claim, but no more. The money, when collected, must be distributed 'pro rata among creditors. The demurrer to the bill is overruled, and if the defendant stands upon its demurrer there will be deeree for plaintiff, reversing the order of the district court, and directing pro- ceedings in accordance with this opinion.

The proof, however, is, I ihink, satisfactory that before giving these two whistleS) and when the two vessels were considerably further apart, and just before the man in charge of the tug star- boarded his wheel to cros the bows of the steamer, he gave a signal of two whistles, which were not observed on board the steamer, and to which the steamer made no reply. Although the fîve witnesses from the steamer testify, with great posi- tiveness, that they were watching the tug, and heard no such signal, it is positively testified to by the man at the wheel of the tug, and he is corroborated by three impartial and intelli- gent witnesses from the schooner, which was then a little nearer to the tug than the steamer was. The master of the schooner had a good opportunity to ob- serve the tug. He noticed her when she blew the first two whistles. He observed that she immediately began to changa her course and draw in towards the Ward's island shore. He observed that the steamer did not reply. The distance between the steamer and the tug, when this first signal was given, can- not be determined with certainty. The testimony on that point is conflicting. I think the weight of the testimony ia that they were from an eighth to a quarter of a mile apart. It appears to have been about the time or very soon after the red light was seen from the steamer, and just about the time the steamer was lapping the schooner. It is objected by the learned counsel for the steamer that the change of course on the part of the tug cannot have been when the vessela were so far apart ; and it is thought to be demonstrated that this is so, because the course of the tug was only about 150 feet on the port hand of the course of the steamer, and, although the tug kept on her starboard wheel ail the time, after changing, she made only just distance enough to port to come up to the line the steamer was on be- fore the collision. Hence it is argued that she can have run only a very short distance under her starboard wheel.

It is said that a custom bas grown up of using boats and barges, in the coal trade, with what may be called, substantially, an open deck, — that is, without anydeck except anarrow planking along the sides of the boat, and a short deck at the two ends, — and that thia custom has grown out of the desire to save expanse in trim- ming the boat if the cargo is put on board at hatches. It is said, also, that although a boat so constructed can have, and sometimes has, a series of hatch covers, covering the entire opening in the deck, yet the practice has been to use sueh boats without any covering, as well as to use decked boats without any hatch coverings, in the carriage of coal between the coal ports of New Jersey and New York across the bay. It is claimed that this practice justifies tugs in tak- ing these open boats to tow across the bay even in winter time and through rough water, and that to hold the tug lia- ble in such a case will very injuriously affect the business of the tow-boats. I do not perceive that such a practice can affect the question. Many practices grow up in the naviga- tion of the seas, and gain more or less acquiescenee, partly from motives of self-interest, and partly from a supposed necessity of conforming one's business action to what others do under similar circumstances in the competition for em- ployment; but such practices, if inconsistent with the stand- ard of care and prudence which the courts of admiralty steadily adhere to for the preservation of life and property, can receive no countenance from the courts. It is, however, still insisted that the tug is not responsible for the loss of this boat because she was lost from the direct consequence of her want of hatch covers; that she was, for this reason, unseaworthy, and that a tug is not liable if the loss happens from the unseaworthiness of the boat taken in tow. It is undoubtedly true that a master of a boat, offering his boat to be towed, represents her as seaworthy, or fit for the voyage, and sufficiently strong, staunch, and sound to meet and withstand the ordinary perils to be encountered<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ewe28898lzqj38c682lpxs98vu2v1kf Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/421 104 642181 15134943 8171838 2025-06-14T22:25:11Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EEPORT → REPORT, FKDE → FEDE, PORTEK → PORTER, FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, removed: � (11) 15134943 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>41e FEDERAL REPORTER. The principal question of fact contested upon the trial was whether the sum ôf $633, for which a receipt was given by the libellant to the defendant, had, in fact, been paid. The ■whole bill of repairs was $1,412.69. Libellant admits pay- ments on account amounting to $520. The libellant claims that this receipted bill for $633, for repairs to one of the sco-ws, was made ont and delivered, without any money being paid, at the defendant's request, to aid him in making out a claim for damages against a steamboat. The question de- pends mainly on the relative credibility of the libellant and his son, on the one hand, and of the defendant, on the other ; and, without going at large into the evidence, it is sufficient to say that, upon the whole proofs, I entertain no doubt what- ever that no money was paid upon the giving of this receipt. The defence set up in the answer, of a special agreement to do the whole work for $200, is not supported by any proof whatever. The question raised by the answer, as to the proper amount of libellant's bill, must be determined upon a reference. Whether the libellant's answers to the interroga- tories proposed by the defendant are to be deemed evidence in favor of the libellants, it is unnecessary now to determine.

McCeary, 0. J. The demurrer to the original bill having been sustained on the ground of the immorality of a materiai part of the contract,* set out and made the sole basis of the relief sought, the plaintiiï filed an amended bill, which is now before me for consideration ; oounsel having agreed that the motion to dissolve the injunction shall be regarded as a general demurrer to the amended bill. The part of the con- tract held vicions is the clause providing for the transmission free of charge of private, social, and family messages of the executive officers of the railway company. The amended bill makes certain averments, intended to show the right of plaintiff to recover, notwithstanding the in- sertion of this vicions clause in the original contract. The question to be determined is the suffioiency of these averments, or of any of them, to entitle plaintiff to the relief Bought. 1. The plaintiff now claims that it is rightfully in posses- sion of the right of way, and of the telegraph line in question, by virtue of the provisions of the act of congress of July 2, 1864, entitled "An act for increased facilities of telegraph communication between the Atlantic and Pacific states, and the terri tory of Idaho." I had occasion to comment upon this act in my opinion upon the demurrer to the original bill, and the conclusion reached was that the act was intended to authorize the United States Telegraph Company, either with or without the consent of the railway company, to construct and operate a line of telegraph along and upon the right of way of the railway company. Whether this right was as- signed and transferred to the present plaintiS by a valid con- tract, was not considered, and that question is now to be determined. The allegations of the amended bill, being admitted, sufBciently show that the United States Telegraph Company had, by virtue of the laws of New York, by which it was created, a right to make an assignment and transfer of ail its franchises and property to another telegraph com- pany.

Unes in controversy which a court of equitj should protect, independently of the contract of October 1, 1866. It was not" a trespasser upon the right of way of the railway Company. tVithout a contract it had a right to go there and construct itslines; and, having expended itsmeans with the consent of the railway company in constructing the existing Une, the defendants must not take possession of it by force, and with- out making compensation. It is not material to determine whether the right of way along the railway, and over its right of way, was also granted by the act of July 24, 1866, for if so no additional rights were oonferred. As to a part of the Une, the right of the plainti'ff outside of the contract is, accord- ing to the allegations of the amended bill, very clear. It is averred that prior to 1865 the United States Telegraph Com- pany, with the assent of the railway company, entered upon the right of way of the last-named company west of Lawrence, as it had a right to do under the act of Congress of July 2, 1864, and that in the year 1865, under said right to enter upon said right of way, and construct and operate such Une of telegraph, it had constructed a Une of telegraph from Law- rence to Fort Eiley, a distance of 97 miles, and had also entered into a contract for the construction and delivery to it of a Une of telegraph from Lea-venworth to Lawrence, and for the residue of the Une between Fort Eiley and Den- ver ; such Unes to be constructed and ready for operation as fast as said railroad should be constructed.

The material facts, as they are stated in the bill, are as follows. 1. On the tenth day of August, 1871, the Western Union Telegraph Company, and the St._ Joseph & Denver City Eailroad Company, entered into a written contract, whereby, upon certain terms and conditions, a line of telegraph was to be constructed, maintained, and operated along the line of said railroad. Each company was to contribute, as specified in the contract, certain material arid service in the construc- tion, maintenance, and operation of the line.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 5ngi1yjea2g1nnp2k6gbe0kubm236ms Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/441 104 642202 15134950 8171860 2025-06-14T22:25:17Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EEPO → REPO, REPOETER → REPORTER, removed: � (10) 15134950 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>434 PEDBEAL REPORTER- acquired under it, and growing out of its execution in the past. 4. It is said that the contract requires the performance of continuons duties, and therefore specifie performance will not be decreed. This is true, but a court of equity may, nev- ertheless, enjoin the violation. Pomeroy on Specifie Perform- ance, §§ 24, 25, 310, 311, and 312. 6. I am not prepared at present to decide that the defend- ants may not be able to show that the contract in question ought to be cancelled by decree of this court ; that is a ques- tion which can only be determined upon final hearing. In cases of this character, when the contract requires continuons service for a series of years, and where the parties disagree, even if the contract is not absolutely void, a court of equity may decree a dissolution of relations between them, upon a free settlement of their accounts, and payment of any bal- ances. What I Tvish to emphasize in this case, as well as in other similar cases, is that the defendants have no right to take their remedy into their own hands. If they have the right to seize this property by force, upon the ground that they hold the contract void, according to the same reasoning the plaintiff would have the right to adjudge the contract valid, and by force retake the property. In other words, force and violence would take the place of law, and mobs would be sub- stituted for the process of courts of justice. The strongest litigant, the one commanding the largest force of men and the most money, would succeed. Such a doctrine, if recognized by the courts as a proper mode of adjusting disputes concerning property rights, would lead at once to anarchy. If the defendants, after years of acquiescence in the con- tract in question, after receiving its benefits, and after a property had been built up under it to which others made claim, became suddenly convinced that it was a void contract, it was their duty to apply to the courts for relief, praying a cancellation of the contract, and a fuU and fair settlement of ail accounts growing out of its execution in the past.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> tmsd6tv3cp5gc6agq25nfykh7sx6k02 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/443 104 642204 15134951 14561539 2025-06-14T22:25:18Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (7) 15134951 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>436- FEDERAL RBPORTER.r of the defendant that the security given by the first bohd'^as not adequate to cover Ma probable damages in the case. The condition of the bond is substantially the same as the first. The allegations are that, in defending this suit, the com- plainant was put to a large expense for solicitors' and attor- neys' fees, which the obligors bave not paid; also, that he sustained a large amount of damage by the breaking up of bis business, and that he is entitled to recover the amount of damages sustained in consequence of the issuing of the injunction. These are substantially the breaches that are assigned to this bond. The defendant demurs on the ground that no damages were awarded at the time of the trial of the cause, and there- fore the defendant, who, it appears, signed the bond solely as surety, is not liable. It is easy to see why the bond was drawn in the manner in which it is. The praotice of the state courts in this state since 1861 bas been to award such damagas, upon the trial or dissolution of an injunction, as the defendant may have sustained by reason of the issue of the injunction; and probably the counsel used the state court form in preparing the bond, and it was not examined by the court ; and prob- ably the only question raised by counsel was as to the suf- ficiency of the surety. The demurrer, therefore, goes to the question as to whether tiie surety in these two cases is liable upon the facts stated in the declaration, it being perhaps con- ceded that there were no damages awarded by the court to the defendant at the time of the dissolution of the injunction, or the final hearing of the case. It is not averred any dam- ages were awarded, and it was said on the argument of this demurrer that none were, and that the practice of this court did not allow the awarding of damages under such circum- stances. An examination of the authorities which have been cited has satisfied me that this action cannot le maintained against the surety upon this bond. I do not care to cite more than the case of Bein v. Heath, 12 How. 168, which was a case j)recisely similar to this.

That statuts contains the proviso "saving to suitors in all cases the right of a com- mon-law remedy, where the common law is competent to give it. " 1 U. S. St. 77, § 9 ; Vose v. Cockcroft, 44 N. Y. 415-425. The question, then, is whether the remedy given by the state court, under the act of 1869, is a common-law rem- edy, -which the common law, as understood in the act of congress, was competent to give. I think it entirely clear that the remedy was not a common law remedy, nor one which the common law, so understood, was competent to give. It is too clear for argument that the action is not a common-law action, either in its form or effect, or in the nature of the judgment. It is more in the nature, both in its form and in the character of the remedy given, of a bill in equity to foreclose a mortgage. The reservation of the aci of congress relates to weU-known forms of action and reme- dies, distinguished alike from those prosecuted in rem in courts of admiralty, and from those that are peculiar to courts of equity. Equitable remedies, and those which it was com- petent for equity to give, are not saved where the suit ia brought for the enforcement of a maritime contract. It is no answer to say that the proceeding is not strictly in rem because it affects only the right or title of certain defendants against whom the suit is brought. That which is saved to the Buitor is not all forms of action, and all remedies other than actions and remedies strictly in rem, but only common- law remedies. It is no answer to say that the lien sought to be enforced is not a maritime lien, but strictly a common-law lien. That does not make the new remedy given by this statute a common-law remedy. No lien created by a state law, whether it be by the unwritten and traditional law, which coUectively we caU the common law, or by express statute, ia a maritime lien. Maritime liens are created and exist only by force of the maritime law. The Belfast, 7 Wall. 624-644. Thus the lien given by state statute to a material man ftgainst a vessel is not a maritime lien.

The act of March 3, 1865, section 16, provided that "no obscene book, pamphlet, picture, print, or other publication of a vulgar and indecent character" should be admitted into the mails, and punished their deposit therein. The act of June 8, 1872, section 148, added to the prohibited matter "any letter upon the envelope of which, or postai card upon which, scurrilous epithets may have been written or printed," and prescribed a penalty for deposit of any "suoh obscene publications." Then foUowed the acts of March 3, 1873, and July 12, 1876, which will be referred to hereafter. It is evident that no statute, prior to 1873, declared an obscene private letter contraband. Such a letter is net a "book," "pamphlet," "picture," or "print," and is not cov- ered by the words "other publication," because they refer only to the classes specifically named. In the case of WoodhuU, (S. District N. Y., June, 1873,) Judge Blatchford held that as the word "newspaper" was not mentioned in the act of 1872, it was not included within the meaning of the Words "other publications;" that the statute being penal, muat be strictly construed, and it meant that, with other publications of the same character, books, pam- phlets, and prints were included. In the act of 1876 the language is "obscene book, paper, writing, print, or other publication," which means, acoording to the rule of construc- tion laid down in the WoodhuU Case, that among the publica- tions prohibited were obscene books, writings, and prints. It would seem, therefore, that congress intended the statute to embrace only such writings aa are "publications" within the meaning of the law. A "publication" is defined in the dictionaries as a book or writing published, especially one offered for sale or to public notice; and to publish is defined to issue, to make known what before was private, to put into circulation. Writings are either printed matter or manuscript.

Yet the court itself is restricted by the general orders, so that it cannot authorize the compounding of a claim without notice to creditors, (general order 17,) or at any rate cannot author- ize a compromise except upon testimony, and upon a petition "clearly and distinctly" setting forth "the subject-matter of the eontroversy, and the reasons U'hy the assignee tkinks it proper, and most for the interest of the creditors, that it should be set- tled." General order 20. Yet tbis assignee undertook to compromise this matter himself, which clearly he had no power to do, and then, to give an apparent sanction to the settlement already agreed to, he united with the creditor, to ■whose great advantage the settlement was made, in present- ing the matter to the court, not as a matter in controversy or a disputed claim that was to be compounded and settled, but as a case of an unquestioned claim against the estate for which the creditor held seourities of less value than the debt, which he offered to take in full satisfaction thereof . The case thus presented was a clear case for the granting of the order. The real case, which was concealed, was a case on which, according to the settled practice of the court, and under the general orders, it would have directed an inquiry by reference and notice to creditors. The relation of the parties was such as to suggest the sus- picion that this concealment of the real case from the court was an intended concealment, designed for the benefit of this creditor ; but I have preferred to consider the case as free from intended fraud or deceit. There is no question of the right of any crediter to make this application. He is interested in the distribution of the estate, and can apply to the court to bave an order which, through mistake or fraud, has been improperly made, to the prejudice of the creditors, vacated and set aside.

On the other branch of the case, as to keepîng proper books: of account, I have had mach more difficulty. The case in this respect stands in a peculiar position. Though it appears that very extensive books were kept all through the years of the life of the firm, the defendant's attorney stating that he shipped two dry goods boxes full away from the office of the assignee in bankruptey, to ■whom the bankrupts turned them over, to the purchaser of the partnership effects from the assignee, still, these books are not before the court, nor bas any witness been swom in regard to the sufficiency of these books, except S. A. Jewett, the bankrupt, who did not keep them, and says he knows but little about them. A good deal of discussion was had as to where the burden of proof lies in such a case, the attorney for the opposing creditors insisting that it is upon the bankrupt to show and satisfy the court that the books were properly kept. But, in the circumstances of this case, it appearing that full sets of books were kept by regular book-keepers, hired and kept for that purpose ; that they were all regularly turned over by the bankrupts with the other property to the assignee in bankruptey, kept by him in his office all during the pend- ency of the proceedings, subject to examination and in- spection by the creditors, and when the proceedings in bank- ruptey were closed, and the property all sold to one purchaser, nnder the order of the court, the books were turned over to Buch purchaser with the other property, and taken away to different parts of the country, I think the burden of showing to the court that the books were not properly kept lies with the creditors, who allege it in their specifications. The bank- rupt was notiiied to produce the books on the trial of the speci- fications, tiled by the creditors in opposition to his discharge. His answer, under oath, is that he is not able to do so ; that they are not his, nor under his coutrol, and that he bas neither time nor money to enable him to bring them before the court. I think it a good answer. And the truth is, that without the books there is not evidence enough before the court to determine with any satisfaction whether the books were kept properly or not.

M. Watson, representing various interests. AcHESoN, D. J. James Petrie filed in this court his libel against the steam-tug Coal Bluff No. 2, a vessel belonging to the port of Pittsburgh, and engaged in navigating the rivers Allegheny, Mouongahela, and Ohio. Process having issued against the boat, she was seized, and was subsequently con- «lemned, and was sold by the marshal, who paid into the reg- istry of the court the proceeds of sale. AU claims for wages, (except that of John N. McCurdy,) and all other maritime liens against the vessel, have been paid eut of the proceeds of the sale. There still remains in the registry of. the. court, for distribution, the sum of $3,127.82. The claimants upon this f und are — First, John N. McCurdy, who filed an intervening libel for his wages as engineer; and, second, domestic creditors of the boat, claiming liens under the Pennsylvania statute of April 20, 1858, (1 Purdon, 97,) which applies to "ail ships, steam-boats, or vessels navigating the rivers Allegheny, Mônongaîiela, and Ohio," rri'said state. This aot gives a lien "for all debts contracted" by the owner or owners, master, etc., of any such ship, steam-boat, or ves- sel, "f Or or on account of Ivork and labor done, or materials îurnished, by boat builderp', engine builders, boiler ma^^ers, lumbermen, boat-store and provision fumishers, carpenters," etc., "in the building, repairing, fitting, furnishing, or equip- ping such ships, steam or other boat or vessels." 1. John N. McCurdy was the engineer of the boat, and there was due him at the time of the seizure, on account of his wages, the sum of $1,700. But he was also one of the owners of the boat. Whether or not he could ma^ntain a libel against his own boat for a debt due, in part at least, from himself to himself, or, as between himself and co-owners, might claim a lien against the vessel or her proceeds, are questions which it is not necessary to consider; for the fund for distribu- tion is insuffieient to pay the creditors of the boat whose claims were liens by virtue of the Pennsylvania statute.

In view, then, of the changed condition of the case, it becomes unnecessary to consider the question raised in the commissioner's report, and by exceptions thereto, and discussed by counsel, whether state statutes may create liens for debts incurred in building, and furnishing materials for building, vessels, which will be enforceable in admiralty, as is affirmed by Mr. Conckling, (volume 1, page 104,) by Mr. Benedict, (section 270,) and by Mr. Desty in his late manual on Shipping and Admiralty, (section 90,) and as was ruled affirmatively by Judge Story, in Read v. New Brig, 1 Story, 244, and by Judge Hopkinson in Davis v. New Brig, GUpin, 473, None of these domestic creditors have maritime liens. It is only by virtue of the Pennsylvania statute that any of them have liens; and the statute makes no distinction between debts contracted in the building of a vessel, and debts for supplies or repairs to her. They are all equally made liens. It is plain, therefore, that a party who must resort to this statute to maiutain a footing at all in this court cannot suc- cessfully call in question the right of another claimant, and clearly conferred by the same statute. Whoever else may be heard to assert that a contraet for building a vessel is not a maritime contraet, or in the nature thereof, it is certain that he cannot, upon that ground, defeat the builder's lien given by the statute. But it has been further urged, against the claim of MeCaskey & Kerr, who built the huU of the Coal Bluff No. 2, and furnished the materials there/or, that they were contractors to build the hull, and, upon the authority of Walker v. Anslmtz, 6 Watts & Ser. 619, not entitled to a lien. But that case arose under the Pennsylvania act of 1836, which is legs broad than the act of 1S58.

It is further alleged in the answer that the Kernan town lots are held by the plaintiff under the provisions of the town-site act of congreBs, and that he has never had posses- sion, and his claim under said act of congress is fraudulent and void. After the filing of this answer, upon motion of de- fendant the cause was removed to this court on the ground that the case is one arising under the said acts of congress. Plaintiff moves to remand, because — Fïrst, the case does ûot arise under the constitution of the United States, the laws > of congress, or a treaty of the United States ; second, the application was not filed in time; third, no sufficient bond is filed, as required by law. 1. That the record presents for adjudication a federal ques- tion, to-wit, the construction of the homestead and town-site acts of congress is clear; but, inasmuch as the question of the construction of these acts is raised by the answer, the question presents itself whether the case is one arising under them. The removal act of 1875 (section 2, act of March 3) employs, in defining the causes that may be removed, substantially the same language used in the constitution to define the jurisdic- tion of the federal courts : "The judicial power shall extend to ail cases in law and in equity arising under this constitution, the laws of the United States, and the treaties made, or which shall be made, under their authority." Const. art. 3, § 2. "Any suit of a civil nature, at law or in equity, • ♦ * arising under the constitution or laws of the United States, or treaties made, or which shall be made under their author- ity, * * » * either party may remove, " etc. Section 2, act of March 3, 1876. It is manifest that the words "arising under the constitution or laws of the United States" mean the same thing in the act of congress and in the constitutional provision. These words have been frequently construed by the supreme court. Thus, in Cohens v.

It is true that ordinarily, -where a right common to all ia abused, or so used as to cause damage, the injured party must seek redress by an action at law; but where congresa has assumed jurisdiction of a river in the interest of com- merce, I think it not doubtful that the equitable arm of the court oan furnish relief against any threatened injury to any improvements made under its authority. It would undoubtedly be proper, and perhaps advisable, for the government to ex- tend its improvements in aid of this branch of commerce, and adopt a more perfect system by erecting suitable structures to obviate all difficulties in the way of a free and unrestricted water carriage of logs at this point ; but that a more compre- hensive system has not been adopted, is no answer to the claim that improvements already made should be protected. Unless the boom company, or the owners of logs,. provide means to prevent their passage over the apron when let loose, or guide them in the sluice-way, if they are designed to be transported below the falls, an injunetion will issue, and it ia Bo ordered.

The bond holders' suit was subsequently removed to the fed- eral court, where certain questions connected with the compensation of the receiver were referred to a special master, who found a balance due from the receiver, which he was ordered to pay. Upon appeal this order was affli'med by the United States supreme court. There- upon the stockholders' suit, which had been stricken from thodocket of the state court, was re-instated, and the question of the compensa- tion of the receiver referred to a master by the state court, who found a large amount due to the receiver for compensation and necessary ex- penditures. The bond holders took no part, however, in these pro- ceedings in the state court. Hdd, under the circumstances of thia case, that, where the receiver had paid into the federal court the amount decreed as due from him in the bond holders' suit, he could not, upon petition to the federal court, have such amount appropri- ated'in part payment of what had been found due to him in the stock- holders' suit by the state court.

The petitioner was appointed receiver of \he railroad, and took possession of it under the order of the circuit court of McLean county, in the case of Kelly, in December, 1873, in a suit brought by the stockholders of the railroad company. In June, 1875, certain bond holders of the railroad company filed a bill in the circuit court of McLean county, asking for a foreclosure of a trust deed which had been given to secure the bonds. This was a suit independent of the Kelly suit. At the same time, the trustees named in the said deed of trust became parties to the suit brought by the bond holders, and on August 11, 1875, the petitioner was directed to transfer, and did transfer, ail the property in his possession to the trustees. It would appear that, between the date of the bill filed by the bond holders and the time of this order for the transfer.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> bhyyd57heh3m8i8z88uusnsp5vyr61x Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/571 104 642339 15134963 8172001 2025-06-14T22:25:30Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, EEPO → REPO, EPOET → EPORT, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (10) 15134963 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>&&e .

The supreme court of the United States, however, ha s gone so far upon this subject, we do not feel inclined to question, as it is not neoessary in this case, the validity of this act of congress, supported by the decisions in the Warehouse and other cases. The first section of this statute declares that ail persons within the jurisdiction of the United States (it will be observed that the word "persons" is used) shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of any public conveyanee on land or •water, theaters, and other places of public amusement, sub- ject only to the conditions and limitations established by law, and applicable alike to citizens of every race and color, regardiess of any previous COùdition of servitude. It will be observed that the statute drops the word "per- sons," which it bas used in the first part of the section, and employs the word "citizens." The second section declares that a,nj person who shall vio- late the foregoing section by denying to any citizen, except for reasons by law applicable to citizens of every race and color, and regardiess of any previous condition of servitude, the full enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facili- ties, and privileges in said section enumerated, shall forfeit and pay, etc., (declaring the penalty.) Now, it would seem there was a change of words for a rea- Bon, and therefore we think we must construe the second sec- tion, which imposes the penalty, so as to apply it to the deniai by any person of a right belonging to a citizen of the United States, and not to one who may be a foreigner and not natural- ized. It reads : "Any person who shall violate the foregoing section by denying to ' citizens,' except for reasons applicable to 'citizens' of every race and color, etc., this right." But there is no allegation, in this indictment, of the citi- zenship of the person who is deprived of this right, E. A. Mc- Arthur.

Section 4499 is a re-enactment of the Statutes of 1871, c. 100, § 1 ; and a similar section in the prior aot of 1852, (chapter 106, § 1,) was thus construed. The Science, 2 Pittsb. 446. I think, there- fore, that section 4499 does not afïect the present question. 4. The further exceptions, that the libel does not allege that the libellant is the informer, or that he sues as informer, or that the passengers taken on board are not named, have no merit. 5. The exception taken that the libel claims more than one penalty is not well taken, because the statute olearly gives a separate penalty for every violation of the act ; nor is there any force in the suggestion that the only penalty given for ail the passengers illegally taken on board is a single sum of $10, and the passage money of the extra pas- sengers. This is in plain contradiction of the language used which measures the penalty by the number of extra passen- gers, making it equal to a sum of $10 for each one, and the passage money. The cases cited to support this exception are cases under statutes having no such terms as this ia framed in. 6. The point made that this court has no jurisdiction as to the second claim made, because the passengers are aUeged to have been taken on board at or near Sandy Hook, in the state of New Jersey, is not well taken, because, as the stat- ute gives a lien enforceable in the admiralty, and is not, in its terms, restrictive as to the court that may entertain juris- diction, any court within whose territorial jurisdiction the vessel may be at the time of the commencement of the suit, and the attachment of the vessel by the marshal, has juris- diction of the cause. The other grounds of exception are not well taken. They do not appear to require special comment.

The vessel bas been sold under a decree of the court, and the proceeds, amounting to $2,075, have been paid into the registry of the court. Various parties bave appeared, claiming liens on the vessel for materials and supplies. The amounts due them have not been adjusted» but the fund in court is insufficient to pay in f uU the seamen, the master, and these other parties, if their claims shall be established. A mortgagee bas also appeared as claimant of the surplus proceeds of the vessel. The amount due the sea- men for wages and extra pay is not contested, but it is objected, on behalf of the mortgagee and the other parties who bave presented their claims, that the seamen have no lien for their extra pay, and that the master bas no lien for bis wages ; or, at any rate, that he has not a prior lien to that of those who bave furnisbed materials and supplies. I think the extra pay due to the seamen is to be treated as wages, for which they bave a prior lien on the vessel. The statute provides that it shall be recovered as wages. Tbis clearly means by the same methods or modes of procedure. The customary mode of recovering wages is by libelling the ship. The language, therefore, necessarily implied that the ship is bolden for tbis extra pay. And, aside from this par- ticular language of the statute, I think that, from the nature of the provision, and the purposes it was intended to sub- serve, the extra pay may be properly regarded as an addition or increase of wages in the event of the neglect of the master or owner to provide for their prompt payment. We bave a similar provision in our own act. These statutes are designed for the protection of seamen ; to prevent the abuse of with- holding their pay, and thereby keeping them in port at expense and out of employment while waiting for a settlement.

It is puggested that it is discretionary with the court to en- tertain jurisdiction of a claim of foreign seamen against a foreign vessel. This is so. But the question here is not whether the court will take jurisdiction over this vessel. It bas already done so, and seized and sold ber muler its pro- cess. It cannot refuse now to distribute the proceeds ac- cording to the rights of the respective parties who appear to claim them. While, therefore, the master must be held to bave a lien for bis wages which can be enforced against the vessel or its proceeds in this court, it does not follow, as in the case of the seamen, that bis lien will bave priority over that which may be establisbed by other claimants. He may by bis contracts with material men, or parties furnishing sup- plies, bave waived bis lien in their favor, or made it subordi- nate to theirs. In the case of The Selah, 4 Sawy. 40, it was held that a foreign master did so by contracting with sucb parties on the credit of the ship in an American port. The claims of these other parties bave not yet been proved, nor until they are adjusted, and the nature of them and the cir- cumstances under which they arose sball be understood, can it be determined wbat are their rights in respect to priority of lien relatively to the claim of the master, The master is, therefore, entitled to a decree for bis wages, reserving all questions of priority of payment and of distribution till all the claims made bave been adjusted. The question, also, whether the master is entitled to extra pay as a seaman is also re- served. If the prior liens are sustained it is immaterial.

With these facts before it the court (Blatchford, J.) was obliged to discover some reasonable method of applying the rule, which, while it would exclude profits, would not deny sub- stantial restitution to the party injured. This the court did by deducting from the price in New York the expenses of the voyage, and an amount which the proof of experts showed would be considered by an importer a f air average profit for importing such an article. The learned judge was compelled, in the absence of other data, to arrive at the price of the guano at the place of ship- ment by taking the market price at the place where it had a market price, and after deducting the expenses, and an aver- age profit to an importer of similar articles, he treated the residue as the equivalent of the market price at the place of shipment. That is to say, the price which merchants would probably be willing to give for the guano for exportation at the place of shipment if it was possible to buy it. These cases serve to show that it has been found impracti- cable to apply literally, in ail cases, the rule allowing only the prime cost of the cargo at the place of shipment. In the case before me now it appears that the port of St. Pierre is a French port, near to the place of collision; that it is a market for cod, and a port where French fishing vessels quite com- monly sell a portion of their "catch." It also would appear from the testimony that there is some advantage of price there for fish caught by French ves- sels, and that American ood-fish are not salable in France. It would not, therefore, I think, be just to undertake to esti- mate the value of the "catch" of the Briha by the price of similar fish in the fishing ports of New England or Canada, but I can see no objection to taking the price at St. Pierre as a basis. It was the nearest French port, and one not distant from her anch orage at the time of the collision.

According to that plan or mode, as, appears by afiSdavits read at the hearing, the express Com- pany was accorded a certain space in the baggage car of the defendant's passenger trains for its express matter and mes- sengers, for which it paid an agreed sum in gross where the express freight did not exceed a speoified weight, and an ad- ditional charge per hundred pounds where the express matter exceeded that specified weight. The express oompany, by means of its stationed employes, and its horses and wagons, and other conveniences and appliances connected with its offices, collected the express parcels to be transported by it from ail persons desiring to ship property through its instru- mentality, and delivered them aboard the defendant's bag- gage car, where they were taken into personal charge by a messenger of the express company, and retained by him in his Personal charge, during their transit by rail, until their arrivai at the place of destination, when they were delivered to the proper agent of the express company at that point for distribution and delivery to the respective consignees. Par- cels containing money or other articles of great value were packed and carried in iron safes. Parcels containing ordinary merchandise of less value were usually packed and carried in chests and trunks, while articles of greater weight or bulk, or articles of comparatively small value, that did not require so great care, were not thus packed, but deposited upon the floor of that part of the car assigned to the express messenger.

The bill charges that the defendant had entered into a contract with the Union Express Company, whereby the latter Company waa to be granted the exclusive privilege of doing an express business over the defendant's road, and that it was the purpoae of the defend- ant, on and after the day last named, to exclude the Adams Express Company, its messengers, and agents from its line. The bill prayed, among other things, that the defendant might be enjoined from carrying this purpose into execution, and from making any discrimination, as to facilities or charges^ in favor of any other express carrier or person, against the Adams Express Company, and, pending final hearing, for an interlocutory restraining order. The original bill was filed on the fifteenth day of AprU, 1880. On the nineteenth day of July, 1880, the complainant fîled an amendment and also a supplement to the bill. The amendment shows more particularly the agreement between the Adams Express Company and the railway company that ■was inexistence when the latter gave notice to the express company that allexisting arrangements between thôm should terminate on the twentieth day of April, as above stated.

By this agreement the railroad company contracted to fur- nish the express company sufficient space, in its baggage cars attached to its passenger trains, for the transaction by the express company of its business, and to grant to the express company the privilege of carrying a messenger, with a safe and 2,000 pounds of freight, each way, daily, between New Albany and Greenoastle, for which service the express company agreed to pay the railroad company $i}3per day; and for ail freight carried over the whole length of road between the above points, in excess of 2,000 pounds eaoh way, daily,<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> shvfpv0sbji61d2euvvq2n992p51u7e Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/625 104 642397 15134970 8172060 2025-06-14T22:25:37Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (16) 15134970 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>618 FEDERAL REPORTER. duly notified and held for that purpose, I, A.

The defendant demurs to the complaint, and the point re- lied upon is that the Eock Eiver Valley Union Eailroad Com- pany, being a Wisconsin corporation, could not assign the bond to a citizen of Massachusetts so as to enable him to bring an action in this court ; and the question presented is whether the bond in suit is a promissory note, negotiable by the law marchant, within the intent and meaning of section 1, c. 137, of the act of March 3, 1875, defining the jurisdic- tion of circuit courts. It is contended by the defendant — First, that the instru- ment sued on is a bond and not a promissory note ; second, that, if a note, it is not negotiable by the law merchant, it not containing the words "bearer" or "order." In regard to the first point, sealed instruments of this char- acter, providing for the payment of money at a future time, certainly have in this country, with very few exceptions, been held promissory notes rather than specialties. In fact, the instrument in suit answers every definition and requisite of a promissory note by the law merchant.

These facts are all alleged in the funded bond, and the question is whether, as against a honafide holder, the county can go back of all this, and defend against this, or similar actions, on the ground that there was a vice in the original indebtedness ; that is, in the source of the original indebtedness, in that the bonds were issued by the board of supervisors, instead of by the county court. We think that it cannot, but that it must be assumed, especiaUy in view of all these recitals in the funded bonds, to the effect that their issue was under this law, and that the proper county authorities had determined that it was a binding obligation on the county for which thesô bonds were issued, they were valid, and that there must be an end of these contesta and defences some time or other; and, having issued these bonds under these circumstanccs, the county of Jasper cannot contest their validity now, even ad- mitting that it could do so if the suit were brought on the original bonds.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> dpy8xbd2g33soevw3n1fqmigtcvctz8 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/631 104 642404 15134973 14561291 2025-06-14T22:25:40Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (9) 15134973 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>62e FEDERAL REPORTER. ing in advance such security as he may judge necessary to secure payment therefor to the treasury of the United States within the time prescribed for such payment ; "And, whereas, adhesive stamps have been delivered, or hereafter may be delivered, to said James H.

G. Stewart & Co. were the agents of the defendants. But can it make any difference in the rights of the parties at what particular stage of the proceedings, before the judgment was actually rendered, that a different phase was given to the case on the part of the plaintiff from that which existed at the time of the original argument ? Clearly not. The case having been submitted to the court without the intervention of a jury, it was under the complete control of the court, and if, upon the pleadings and evidence, the plaintiff was entitled to recover, it was the duty of the court to give effect to that right, whatever view might have been taken of the case by the counsel at the time of the original argument. So I think there can be no question of the right of the court to place the case upon a different ground from that upon which it was placed by the counsel originally. Therefore, the only question is whether the fourth amended paragraph presents a valid case upon which there could be a recovery for the value of the goods, for the reason that C. Gr. Stewart & Oo. were the agents of the defendants in the pur- chase from the bankrupt. ' It is to be observed that some of the objections which are now made to this paragraph were not made at ail in the court below ; for instance, it is said now that there is no alle- gation as to the precise value, or, indeed, as to any value, of the forty-four car loads of coal. It is true, if we considered each paragraph in the nature of a separate count, which is to be suffieient in itself, it might not be of any avail that the other paragraphs of the com- plaint successively state what was the value of the coal, and what was the price agreed upon between the bankrupt and C. G. Stewart & Co.

I cannoi doubt ttat it is an appropriation of Sternbergh's invention, and if the real invention had been more carefully described in the orig- inal patent the case would be entirely clear. Some doubt, however, is suggested because the language of the description and claim in the re-issue departs from that employed in the original for describing the recess which holds the band or ring; and it is urged that the re-issue is void as enlarging the scope of the invention disclosed in the original. The original describes a ring or band "made to occupy a groove in the hoop so as not to interfere with the foUower." The re-issue describes a hoop "with an annular groove or depres- sion," and a ring or band made to occupy it. By the aid of the drawings there is no difficulty in ascer- taining what the patentee meant in bis original specification by the term "groove." Without the drawings, reading the entire description of the several parts, and ascertaining their functions when used in the process of pressing cheese, as detailed, it would be the natural and neceasary inference that such a channel was oontemplated as would be appropriate for the insertion and location of the expansible band. The drawings show an aimular recess near the upper part of the hoop. The function of this recess is to hold the band, during the downward pressure of the foUower, so that the ex- terior surface of the band shall be the same as that of the interior of the hoop. Any change in the form, or even in the location, of this recess, which does not involve a change of function, would be immaterial, and would be permissible un- der the original patent. I am of opinion that if this action had been founded on the original patent, complainant could have Bucceeded. It is the office of a re-issue to correct errors in the speci- fication and in the claim of the original patent. "When alter- ations are made which enlarge the scope of the patent, and secure to the patentee improvements made by others subse- quent to the original patent, they should be carefully scruti- nized in order to see that nothing is granted which was not fairly disclosed originally.

Under the rule laid down in the case of The Wm. Murtagh, therefore, both parties are chargeable with want of ordinary care for making the attempt to cross the bay with an open loaded boat in a gale of wind. Slight differences of circum- etance will not sujB&ce to distinguish the case, and the loss is immediately attributable to this as the direct and principal cause of the disaster. It is claimed, however, on the part of the libellant that he should not be charged with half the loss for two reasons: First, on the ground that the barge was put on the windward side of the tug, where she was more exposed to the wind and sea than she would bave been on the other side ; and, secondly, because the master of the tug did not, when they got out in the bay, and found how dangerous the passage was, run before the wind, go to the south of Governor's island,and find shelter in Buttermilk channel. The first point is sought to be supported by the testimony of the libellant that he objected to being placed on the port side of the tug ; and the second point, by bis testimony that when near Oyster island buoy he requested the master of the tug to run before the wind to avoid swamping bis barge. As to both these statements of the libellant, he is, I think, so contradicted that they cannot be taken as proved. As to his request to run before the wind, which he says was twice made and answered by the master of the tug, not only is the proôf to the contrary very strong, but the circumstances, and the proved conduct and language of the libellant at other points, render it highly improbable. When the master of the tug, long after this alleged request, hailed him and told him he thought his barge was sinking, he answered that he hoped not. He evidently had not discovered the fact, and at first would not believe it, till he went and looked over the side. Up to that time his pump had brought but little water and had soon sucked; and in answer to the pilot's bail, "How is<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> p491v3rjmud4p0zdn1r6ipy7vzzpdpb Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/657 104 642432 15134977 8172094 2025-06-14T22:25:44Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: tlie → the, FEDEBA → FEDERA, removed: � (13) 15134977 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>630 FEDERA^Ii BBf OBTEa.

They were employed at a certain rate of wages per month, and not for any definite period of time, unless such mode of employment implies a definite time of service. The course of business between the parties was to bave a settlement on or up to the last day of each month. The last settlement was up to the end of April, 1880. On the fifteenth of May the respondents discharged the orew without assigning any cause. They now claim their wages up to the end of May. Eespondents have tendered them their wages up to and including the day they were discharged. Independently of any usage affecting the question, the libellants would be entitled to recover.

But the testimony in this case is fuU and conclusive that in this steam-tug service in this port the established usage is that the hands employed in this mode leave at any time, and that their employers discharge them at any time during the month, and in either case are paid up to the time of their leaving or their discharge.

Why the libellants in such a case should be restricted in this particular, and the libellees not, I fail to find any snfiQ- cient reason. This cause, it is to be remembered, is heard ia admiralty — under Admiralty Eule No. 24 — not in a court of common law. 2. It was shown by the evidence that in December, 1879, a certain instrument, under seal, was signed by the holders of twenty-one thirty- seconds of the brig, in view of which it ■was contended that each signer thereof was estopped from assigning or transferring his share without "consulting" with the ship's husband therein named; it being further con- tended that, inasmuch as some of the libellants were signers of this paper, and had, by becoming co-libellants in this suit, violated their covenant, they should not be reeognized as share-holders in the inquiry as to the relative number of libel- lants and libellees. They cannot, it is contended, be treated as parties coming into court with clean bands. And, further etill, it was contended that the instrument should be con- strued and held by the court to be "a valid written agree- ment subsisting, by virtue of which the master was entitled to possession," within the purview of section 4250 of the Ee- vised Statutes. Of this contention of the libellees it sufiSces to say that in their view of this instrument, and of its sig- nificance and weight, I cannot concur, and of course must overrule the objection. 3. It was shown by the evidence that, on the twenty-first of May, a charter-party was executed by the master (said Lowry) and the brig's husband on the one part, and one Leydon & Co. on the other, in virtue of which the msister and owners of the brig were bound to so manage that the brig should be at Maehias, Maine, on the fifth of June, ready to load, and that on the day of the seizure, (May 28th,) and four hours before the seizure, a clearance for Maehias had been procured from the custom-house officiais in Providence; and in view of these facts it was denied, on behalf of the<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> aqkzqyi2l7lmg87thh6fuc41mg84ovl Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/681 104 642457 15134980 8172121 2025-06-14T22:25:47Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EPORTEB → EPORTER, removed: � (7) 15134980 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>674 ■ PED'EEAL :ilEPORTER. state and the companies are in default in the payment of the interest siace July, 1875, the bond holders by these euits seek to have a lien in their favor established upon the roads. The general assembly of the state of Tennessee passed, February 11, 1862, an act known as the "Internai Improve- ment Act of the State of Tennessee," extending aid to railroad companies by a loan of state bonds, the proceeds to be nsed in ironing and equipping the roads. Prior to the time of passing the act there had been issued state bonds for varions purposes, of whioh above $3,500,000 was outstanding. The state of Tennessee was now in good credit. Her 6 per cent, bonds brought a premium in the money markets of the world, as did also, subsequently, her bonds issued to the defendant railroad companies under the act in question, and acta amendatory thereof, which bonds are the subject of contro- versy in these suits. The, scheme of internai improvement now adopted was to issue to each company 6 per cent, bonds to the amount $8,000 per mile, in instalments, — afterwards extended to $10,000, — the first when a section of 30 miles of road was completed ready for the ties, and the subsequent instalments upon completion of each additional section of 20 miles; afterwards changed to 10 miles. The bonds are transferable by delivery, run not less than 30 nor more than 40 years from the respective dates of issue, the interest matures semi-annually, and, with the principal, is payable in New York. They were paid to the railroad company, and Bold in open market, without indorsement or guaranty. The state was invested by the terms of the statute with a lien upon each section of the company's road as soon as the bonds for that section were issued, and upon final completion of the road such lien was to attach to the entire road and its equip- ments. Tho company was to be incapable of creating any lien conflicting with that in favor of the state. The amount of the lien claimed by complainants in behalf of such bond holders upon ail the railroads is about $15,- 000,000.

The , signification of the^ entire apt, and not a single clause, deter- mines the intention of the law-maker. Thus, section 6, con- sidered with other provisions of the act, is important as reserving to the state the right, through proceedings in court, to sell the road, thereby discharging it from the lien imposed by the statuts. The fact that the state might discharge the lien in such way imports that there was no intention of the law-makers to give a beneficiai interest in the security to any one but the state. This view applies with peculiar force where the bolder of the security is a state, not amenable to the ordinary process of courts. This view of the effect of section 6 upon the construction as to the legi8la.tive.intent is not weakened, but fortiûed, by section 14, which declares that "in the event any of the roads shall be sold under the provisions of the act it shall be the duty of the governor to: appoint an agent for the state to attend the sale, and, if necesgary, to protect the interestsof the state, buy in the road in the name of the state; and, in case the state, shall be the purchaser, the governor shall appoint a receiver, who shall take possession of the road and property, and use the same as provided for in the fifth section of this act, and said. receiver shall settle his acoounts semi-annually with the comptroller, untii the next meeting of the general assembly." This section imports three things at least as to a sale : (1,) a third person may be a purchaser; (2,) the state may be the purehaser; (3,) that the purchaser obtains a titie discharged of the lien. It is manifest that if a stranger buys he takes title freed from ail liens imposed by the act upon the prop- erty, and there is nothing in the language of the section or in the act to indicate that the state, becoming purchaser, does not take the property equally free from such lien. The receiver appointed by the governor is to take possess- ion of the road and "use the same as provided for in the fifth section;" that is, in like manner, viz. : "run the same and manage the entire road."

A statute must be construed from the stand-point, — the circumstances and surroundings of the law-makers, — when it was enacted; and it would be unjust and repugnant to reason and common experience to assume that the legislature passed the act in the expectation that the roads would never be finished, or would not be completed within a reasonable time. Besides, section 12 reserved to the state ample powers to make such modifi- cations in relation to the time for the sinking fund to com- mence, and the per cent, annually to be paid into that fund, as wotdd fully protect the interests of the state against delay on the part of the railroad company. Whatever might be said in regard to the evidence adduced in these cases of contemporaneous construction, through the utterances of state officiais in public documents, the action of any department of the state govemment, or otherwise, there is, in the judgment of the court, nothing to change the views which bave been expressed. Chamberlain v. St. P. e S. C. B. Co., 92 U. S. 299, was decided upon a statute and upon facts similar to those in the present cases, and is very instructive. The state of Minnesota, by a constitutional amendment, provided fdr an issue of its bonds as a loan to the Southern Minnesota Eailroad Company, and required such company to convey the lands in question "in trust for the better security of the treasury of the state from loss on said bonds," and further provided that if the borrow- ing company should make default in payment of either the principal or interest of the bonds issued by the state, the gov- ernor should proceed to sell the lands held in trust by the state. The company accordingly executed a trust convey- ance of the lands to the state, conditioned for the payment of the principal and interest of the bonds issued to that com- jany. The company made default in the payment of interest.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> on0ue3j39dj4o22rckkkznadmda8oi0 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/695 104 642471 15134984 8172135 2025-06-14T22:25:51Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EBPO → REPO, EPOET → EPORT, PORTB → PORTE, removed: � (9) 15134984 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>688 FEDERAL REPORTER. and the company màde no promise to the bond holder. Sueh equity created no lien which foUowed the property ; the liabil- ity of the state was to the bond holder. She held no relation as surety to him ; as in the Chamberlain case, it was only as between hier and the company that in any possible view the state could be regarded as surety, and this view would make it necessary to treat the company as the principal debtor to the bond holder, whereas the company was not the principal debtor, nor, indeed, a debtor to the bond holder in any degree. The reasoning in the case of Hand v. Railroad Co., in the supreme court of South Carolina — manuscript — referred to on, the argument, cannot ail be adopted as applicable to these cases, if the conclusions might be. It is not upon its fact authority. The railroad company made its own bonds, and the state guarantied their payment to the holder by indorsement. The state was secured by a lien upon the company's road, reserved by the statute which authorized the guaranty. As a surety, the state assumed contract obligations to the crediter — the bond holder. If a creditor bas a right to claim the benefit of seeurity given by the debtor to his surety for the latter's indemnity, it does not follow that the right exists where the principal debtor takes the seeurity from the acoommodatee, and where the seeurity holder holds no other relation to the creditor than that of debtor, and the giver of the seeurity is neither a debtor nor surety to the creditor, It becomes unnecessai-y to further consider the effect of the reservation of power to the state under section 12. The court bas already stated that such reserved power is ample to an- thorize a modification of the sinking-fund provisions, as bas been done by increasing the amount to be paid annually into the sinking f und and changing the ti'me for such payment to commence. It follows that by this judgment neither the foreclosed nor the non-foreclosed roads are subject to any lien in favor of the holders of internai improvement bonds issued by the state bf Tennessee, under the acts passed by that state, and to<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> chxa4mr936sofpcy29rx55i7mpjo5s4 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/699 104 642475 15134985 8172139 2025-06-14T22:25:52Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: wlie → whe, POBT → PORT, PORTEB → PORTER, removed: � (7) 15134985 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>'693 FED^PAL SEPORTER, rights of. purohasers at judicial sales where theyhave been fairly cond,iieted, and believe that want of stability in such sales is a most serious evil. The mere ,fact that a man bas made a bargain at such a sale should not induce the court to recede on its part, whatever its power to do so may be. The practice in England on this subject became so notoriously disastrous that first the court by rule, and then parliament by legislation, interfered to break it up and establish a Sys- tem of reserved bids, which answers the purpose of securing the highest price, and protects the sale from the chilling influ- ences of instability and uncertainty. The court now, upon application of the parties, or of its own motion, ascertains the probable value of the property as nearly as may be, and, having determined the lowest price it is willing to take, the property is not sold, unless at public auction, it brings as much, or more, than this reserved price, which, not being revealed until after the sale, cannot influence the biddings. 1 Sug.

If congress or the supreme court, under its power to prescribe equity rules, should con- form our practice to this improved method of making chan- cery sales, it would relieve the courts of much embarrassment ; for, as was said by Mr. Justice Miller, "the act of confirming or setting aside a sale made by a commissioner in chancery often involves the exercise of judgment and discretion as del- icate as that called fôr by any function which belongs to the court."

There the sale was of a life interest in consols and annuities, and the question was who was entitled to the dividends on the consols earned in the interim between sale and confirmation. Lord Eldon gave them to the purchaser, on the doctrine that after confirmation the sale related back to the day of sale. This is no doubt the true solution in ail these cases of the troublesome questions growing out of the nature of the pur- chaser's title between sale and confirmation. If confirmed he must be treated as the owner from the day of sale, entitled to profits and subject to losses, unless there be some equitable cir- cumstance in the case that inducea the court, in the exercise of its power over the contract, to change the rule and withhold the profits, or exempt him from the loss. But in any event the controlof the court over the sale is the same, whatever the rights of the purchaser may be. Lord Eldon says nothing can be predicated on the confirmation in determining to whom the dividends belong. Lord Chancellor Ludgen approves this case in Vesey v. Elwood, 3 Drury & Warren, 74, and Judge Dillon in Lathrop-Y. Nelson, 4 Dill. 194. The case of Twigg v. Fijield, 13 Ves. 517, was the sale of an annuity, and confirmation was required. Mr, Sumner, in citing these cases in his note to Ex parte Minor, 11 Ves. 559, 562, says: "A purchaser, no doubt, until the master's report is confirmed, is always liable to have the biddings opened." Where a coUiery, which is in the nature of a trade, bas been the subject of sale, a proposai to open the biddings will be listened to with extreme caution, as, from the hazardoua nature of such a concern, delay may occasion ruinons loss.

At the time the bill was filed a receiver was appointed, clothed with the usual powers conferred upon Buch an offieer.

Warring Brothers & Co., who were made parties by the amended bill, were owners of stock and bonds. Afterwards, Grant & Brother were made parties defendant by order of the court, and an- Bwered the bill; and subsequently, James F.

At the March term, 1877, the Illinois Midland Eailway Company, defendant, filed an answer to the bill. Afterwards, the answer of the Paris & Terre Haute Eailroad Company and Paris & Decatur Eailroad Company was filed ; and at the September term, 1877, the Union Trust Company was made, on its own motion, a party defendant. In its petition the Union Trust Company set out the particular cir- cumstances connected with its relations to the property, and the issuance of bonds by the different companies, and the formation of the Midland Company out of the others, and declared that it was the real party in interest as against the complainants.

In Equity. Motion to Dissolve Injunction. 0. P. Beckwith and N. Williams, for plaintif. Wager Swayne, John T. Dillon, J. P. Usher, and Everest e Waggener, for defendants. Miller, C. J. The suit in this case was brought by the Western Union Telegraph Company in one of the state courts of Kansas, and, on application to a probate judge of the proper county, an injunction was allowed, which it is the par- pose of the present motion to dissolve. The laws of Kansas make the indorsement of the county judge, on the petition, that an injunction is allowed, to bave the same effect as in the courts of the United States, in equity proceedings, is allowed to a writ of injunction regularly issued under the seal of the court. The county judge made such an indorsement, allowing the injunction as prayed for by the bill. The prayer of the bill was in substance to restrain the Union Pacific Eailway Com- pany, the Kansas Paciûc Eailroad Company, and the Amer- ican Union Telegraph Company from interfering in any manner with the telegraph wires and other appartenant appa- ratus of the Western Union Telegraph Company. The allega- tion on which the allowance was made, was to the effect that the defendants were about to sever the connection between the wires of the Western Union Telegraph Company and its batteries, so that they could not be worked by the telegraph Company, and to connectthose wires with the batteries of the American Union Telegraph Company and with batteries of the Union Pacific Eailroad Company, and thus destroy the utility of those wires for the purposes of the Western Union<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 9t3xfdokklfo4u301kvdtpnglexm1o7 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/731 104 642510 15134989 8172177 2025-06-14T22:25:56Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: tbey → they , FEDESAL → FEDERAL, POBT → PORT, removed: � (5) 15134989 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>72e ' FEDERAL feEPORTEe. côntrotersy extenas from'Kansas Cïty, in Missouri, to Deri- ver City, in Colorado ; and cOnsists of three wires, the requi- site pôles, batteries, and other xaachinery necessary to the successful working of those wires, erected along the line and on the right of way of the Kansas branch of the Pacific Eail- way Company. That branch bas become Consolidated with the Union Pacific Eailroad Company, and they are both worked and held as one corporation, under the style of the Union Pacific Eailway Company. The contract was made in the year 1866, between the Kansas Pacific Eailway Company on the one part, and the Western Union Telegraph Company on the other, under which this telegraph line bas been mainly erected and operated sinoe it was erected. By that contract, about the construction of which the parties diiïer somewhat, there is no disagreement as to the following matters : Pôles were to be erected on ground embraced within the right of way of the railroad company.' That company was either to farnish the pôles or pay the price of them if furnished by the Western Union Telegraph Compàby, and to furnish one wire or pay the cost of that wire. The telegraph company was to furnish the batteries, and to furnish any other wire beyond that one, as it should' become necessary, at their own^ cost. The erection .of the pôles, the attachment of the wires to them, and the expense of placing the batteries in position, conneieting them with the wires, was to be borne jointly and equally by the parties. The lines of these wire.3 were both to be operated by operators appointed by the railroad company, and paid for jointly. The railroad company was to have the exclusive control and use of the first wire put up. The tele- graph company was to have the exclusive use of the other wires until, in the opinion of the railroad company, the first wire should be insufiacient for the demands of the business of the road; in which event, by a proper compensation, the rail- road company was to have the use of another one of the wires put up by the telegraph company.

The amended biU, however, which was not before Judge McCrary when he decided that proposition, sets up an act approved July 2, 1864, entitled "An act for increasing the facilitiea of telegraph communication between the Atlantic and Pacific states and the territory of Idaho," and claims that by virtue of that statute the present contract is a valid one. The first section of that act declared that "the United States Telegraph Company and their associates were author- ized to erect a line of magnetic telegraph between the Mis- souri river and the city of San Francisco, in the state of California, on such route as they may select, to connect with the Unes of said United States Telegraph Company now con- structed and being constructed through the states of the Union." It gave the right of way over the public lands of the United States, and the right to draw materials for the construction of the line from the same public lands. The fourth section is as follows: "That the several railroad com- panies authorized by the act of congress of July 2, 1862, are authorized to enter into an arrangement with the United States Telegraph Company, bo that the line of telegraph be- tween the Missouri river and San Francisco may be made upon and along the line of said road and branches as fast as said road and branches are built. And if said arrangement be entered into, and the transfer of said telegraph line be made in accordance therewith, to the line of said railroad and branches, such transfer shall, for ail purposes of the act referred to, be held and considered a fulfilment on the part of said railroad companies of the provision in the act in re- gard to the construction of telegraph Unes. And in case of digagreement, said telegraph company is authorized to remove their line of telegraph along and upon the line of railroad therein contemplated, without prejudice to the rights of said railroad companies."

This Consolidated company adopted the name of the United States Telegraph Company, and it is recited in ita articles of association that one of its elements is the United States Company, which existed prior to the act of congress of 1864. We see here a conscious effort, although there may be some imperfection in carrying that into effect, to unite the powers of this United States Telegraph Company, organized in 1862, prier to the act of congress, with the powers of other com- panies, and to keep up its name and authority by the use of the same name in the Consolidated company. This last United States Telegraph Company finally became Consolidated with the Western Union Telegraph Company, or their fortunes became united and amalgamated in some shape not very clearly made out, and this is the action under which the West- ern Union Telegraph Company claims the right to make the contract which is the subject of consideration, I am not prepared to say, with any degree of assurance, that if this case oomes to a final hearing, and no more com- plete evidence is then given of the corporate existence of the first United States Telegraph Company of New York, and of the transfer of the powers granted to it by the act of congress of 1864 to the Western Union Telegraph Company than bas been presented on this hearing, that that contract can be sustained under the act of 1864, But I am prepared to hold that there is no such clear case made against the right of the Western Union Telegraph Company to ail the franchises and privileges of the original United States Telegraph Company, as to justify me in totally dissolving the present injunction, in view of the consequences which would foUow such action, which will be hereafter considered. .

Brbickerkoff v. Brown, 7 John. Ch. 216, 217, 226. Courts have often held that a corporation may be dissolvcd by an unoonditional repeal or surrender of its charter, in a manner authorized by law, and the court of errors of New York once held that if a corporation suffers acts to be done which destroy the end and object for which it was created and organized, that such acts are equivalent to a surrender of its chartered rights; nor is it necessary in this case to contravert that proposition, as it is clear that such a corpo- ration, under a proceeding in bankruptey, oannot be dis- charged of its debts, nor will such a proceeding have any tend- ency to deprive the corporation of the power to continue or to resume its business. Slee v. Bloom, 19 John. 456, 474. In coming to the conclusion, said Spencer, C. J., that the cor- poration in this case is dissolved, I lay out of the case every- thing of misuser or nonuser, excepting the influence which the fact of nonuser may have as evidence, Connecting with other facts, to show thje renunciation of corporate rights. Upon these authorities, and for the reasons given by the chan- cellor, the chief justice admitted that neither misuser nor nonuser could be regarded as a substantial and specifie ground of dissolution. Since that time the court of appeals has decided that, in order to infer a surrender of corpo- rate franchise, the cireumstances must be such that the cor- poration has lost ail power to continue or resume its busi- ness; which is not true of the corporation in this case, and never can be by the operation of the bankrupt proceedings, not even when such proceedings are foUowed by misuser or nonuser. Bradt v. Benedict, 17 N. Y. 93, 99. When the cases are carefully considered, it is clear that the exact rule to be applied in such a case, in Massachusetts and New York, is not substantially different.

Motion to vacate service of process. Glover e Skepley, for complainant. Melville C. Day, for defendants. Miller, C. J., (orally.) The case in -which the motion is made that we are about to decide is a suit brought in the cir- cuit court of the United States for the eastern district of Mis- souri, to set aside a decree and sale of the Missouri Pacific Eailroad, made upon a proceeding to foreclose a mortgage upon that road. In addition to the Missouri Pacific Eailroad Company, and some pereons who were also parties in that Buit, the present bill makes parties of the purcliasera at the sale, and several other individuals who were not parties to the former suit. Some of these are not citizens or residents of the state of Missouri, and have not been found within the district. The subpœnas were issued, and, in some cases, services had on these persons in the state of New York, and in the state of New Jersey ; and service has also been made, without any previens authorization of the court, on the attor- neys and solicitors, in the former suit of some of the defend- ants in the present suit.

On February 17, 1880, complainant filed a supplemental bill, stating, in substance, that since the filing of the original bill a bill had been filed in this court against the said Drury and others by Eobert E. Kelly, the holder of the indebtednesa secured by the first mortgage for |28,000, and that such pro- ceedings had been had in said cause, that on the twenty- seventh day of June, 1878, a decree of foreclosure had been entered upon the said mortgage; and that upon the twenty- sixth day of July, 1878, the mortgaged premises were sold for the satisfaction thereof, and that no redemption had been had from said sale; and- that a deed had been made to the purchaser, by the master in chancery, on the thirtieth day of October, A. D. 1879; and prayed that the amount found due by the master in this cause be entered by this court against the defendant William Drury in accordance with the assump- tion of the said indebtedness. Drury's answer to the supplemental bill admits the ex- haustion of the proceeds of the mortgaged premises by the foreclosure of the first mortgage, and refers to his answer to the original bill, which, he prays, may be taken as a part of his answer to the supplemental bill. The proof in this cause is mainly applicable to the questions of the fact whether or not the defendant Drury, in the purchase of the eQ[uity of redemption of the mortgaged premises, agreed, as part of th& transaction, to assume and pay these two mortgage debts^<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 718oq07wohaidwa9tsl0ltxdwcvqv3t Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/793 104 642572 15134996 8172240 2025-06-14T22:26:03Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, EEPORT → REPORT, EPORTEB → EPORTER, EDEBAL → EDERAL, removed: � (7) 15134996 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>786 FEDERAL REPORTER. He might have been willing to give hia farm for the chance that ail these three pieces of property would xealize something over and above encumbrances, but it is hardly reasonable to •believe, in view of what must have been its then value, that he would have assumed so grave a responsibility as to make himself personally liable for this heavy prior indebtedness. It is true that Mr. Hutchinson, who drew the deed from Dag- gett to Drury, testifies that he must, from the course of business, have drawn the deed according to instructions, and would not have inserted this assumption clause unless directed to do so; but his directions may have come from some one who had no authority in the- premises, or who was acting under a mistake or misunderstanding as to the terms of the contract. Two questions of law arise upon the facts in this case as I now find them — First, can the complainant maintain this bill solely for the purpose of obtaining a personal decree against the defendant Drury, assuming that he did agree to pay the mortgage debt held by the complainant ? Second. It appear- ing as an admitted fact in the case, as it is alleged in the bill and not denied in the answer, that the complainant purchased the notes secured by this mortgage in November, 1876, for value, before any default or maturity thereof, and after the defendant Drury had, by the deed to him which then appeared of record, apparently assumed to pay this mortgage debt, can he now be heard to say, as against this complainant, that he did not assume such payment ? In other words, must the court presume that, the complainant purchased these notes upon the faith of Drury's assumption and agreement to pay the same. As to the first question, it is an established rule that when a court of equity has once obtained jurisdiction of the parties and subject-matter, it will retain it for the purpose of do- ing complete justice between the parties. The bill in this cause was filed for a foreclosure of the mortgage in question. The citizenship of the parties brought the subject-matter within the jurisdiction of the court. The relief prayed was such as the court was adequate to give.

New Jersey and Massachusetts, which hold that the ha- bility of the grantee of the mortgagor, who has assumed the mortgage debt, can l»e enforced in equity by an application of the principle of equitable subrogation. From these various considerations I have, therefore, no difSculty in reaching the conclusion that the court still has jurisdiction to pass upon the question of Drury's liability, and to render a personal decree against him if justified by the law and facts. As to the second question, it appears from allegations in the bill which are not denied by the answer, and are admitted, that the complainant purchased the notes secured by this mortgage for a valuable consideration, before due, and after the deed from Daggett to Drury had been made; and, in November, 1876, when thia transaction by the well-settled law of this state, where this transaction took place, and ail the parties resided, the assumption of this indebtedness by Drury enured to the beneflt of the mortgagee, and could be enforced by him either at law or in equity. The mortgagor in this case was the holder of these notes ; that is, these notes were given to be negotiable, made payable to the order of the mortgagor, and the mortgage passed with the notes as an incident then free of the equities between the original parties. The case of Carpenter v. Logan, 16 Wall. 27, sustains fully the doctrine which I have laid down here, that the parties to a mortgage cannot set up a mistake as against the purchaser of the notes and the holder of the mortgage debt. The same doctrine was affirmed in the case of the New Orleans Canal dt Barge Co. v. Montgomery, 95 U. S. 16. The court must therefore presume that when the complainant purchased these notes she took them .vith knowledge of the fact that the defendant Drury had assumed and agreed to pay them, and that the obligation could be enforced by the holder of the notes. The defendant Drury had by this deed made himself, apparently, at least, a quasi party to the notes. He had agreed to assume and pay these notes, and thereby had given them, the court must presume, currency in the market.

Appeal froin district court. J. H. Yeager, for appellant. Dbummond, C. J. This is an appeal by the assignee of the bankrapts from an order of the district court allowing a claim of John Fischback against the estate of the bankrupts. Fischbaeh recovered a judgment against the bankrupts on the twenty-ninth day of March, 1878, in the circuit court of Montgomery county, of this state, under the foUowing cir- cumstances: Fischback had, from time to time, advanced money to the bankrupts to assist them in their business, for ■which he had received promissory notes. In the spring of 1878 he seemed to be very anxious to have hisulaim paid or secured, and there is some evidence tending to show that the bank- rupts proposed to give Mm a mortgage, which, however, was not done. It is also apparent that Lehman particularly, who was the father-in-law of Fischback, was very anxious that his claim should be secured or paid. The bankrupts knew at the time that they were insolvent, and would be unable to pay ail their debts.

The language of the statuts is that it shall not be lawful for any plaintiff to sue any defendant out of the county where the latter resides or may be found, except in local actions, and except that in personal actions, at law, when there is more than one defendant, the plaintiff eommencing his action where either of them resides may have his writ issued directed to another county. It will be observed that the statute, in the last clause, leaves out the words "or may be found," which existed in the first ; and the question is whether it was intended to exclude the court from jurisdiction of the case where one of the defendants was found in the county, although he did not reside there. I can hardly think that this is the true con- struction of the statute. For the purposes which the law had in view, it may he said, I think, that wherever the defendant was found and served with process, he might be considered, as to the action, to be there a resident. Clearly, although he might be a resident, it would be indispensable that he should be found and served there; which could not be done unless he was personally in the county. Again, the authorities of this state seem to imply, if there is any objection to the form of the action, where parties reside and are served in different counties, that it is incumle.it on the defendants to take advantage of the defect before judgment, by bringing the mat- ter, in which the objection consiste, to the notice of the court. Nothing of that kind was done here, and so I think the court had jurisdiction of the cause, and the judgment must be con- sidered as operative upon the bankrupts. As to the other objection : The supreme court of the United States bas decided in sev- eral cases that it is competent for a crediter to iiistitute a suit against a bankrupt, andobtain judgment by default, and issue execution, and unless the bankrupt does some act by which he bas participated in some way in the act of the creditor, the preference thereby acquired is a valid preference as against other creditors.

Truman Peckham to be insolvent when they accepted said deeds, and knew that said mortgagea were made in fraud of an act entitled, 'Au act to establish a uniform System of bankruptcy throughout the Umted States,' passed March 2, 1867, and the several acta in amendment thereof and in addition thereto." As conceded and assumed in argument at the bar, so must it be conceded here, that here arises the pivotai point of the cause or series of causes under discussion. Had there been no sale of the laud, and the assignee had filed his bill to set aside the said mortgages as void, upon him would have rested the burden of sustaining by satisfaetory proof the threefold allegation above quoted, to say nothing of the absence of any allegation as to the intent of the baukrupt. The same bur- den rests upon him here. His right to retain said proceeds, as against the demand of the mortgagees, depends upon his establishing by a preponderance of evidence the three afore- said allegations; it being understood to be an admitted fact that the intent of the bankrupt was to seeure his crediter brother, and brother-in-law. To this conclusion I have ar- rived after a deliberate consideration and study of the plead- ings and evidence submitted to me, and therefore proceed to consider the questions presented : 1. Was the said E. Truman Peckham insolvent at the time of the execution and delivery of the mortgage deeds in ques- tion? As already stated, the assignee is bound to satisfy the court, by a preponderance of evidence, that the bankrupt ■waa insolvent at the date speciiied. This, I must adjudge, he has failed to do. Indeed, it may be questioned whether any evidence even tending to support this allegation was offered, other than a copy of a writ of attaohment, which was admitted under an objection which I am constrained here to adjudge well founded, and an oiïer to produce from the files of the district court the original inventory and list of debts filed by the bankrupt, Peckham, at a certain stage of thia bankruptcy proceeding in his case, also admitted under objection, now adjudged well taken.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> t0k0csq93vzrhzv5yd93mv10nxg4ld6 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/821 104 642600 15135003 8172272 2025-06-14T22:26:09Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (10) 15135003 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>8li TIIDEBili REPORTER.

The cutch, -when received, had become somewhat soft- ened by a voyage, from Singapore, of 1,500 miles, and was therefore rebagged at Calcutta. It was stowed in the customary manner on the bottom of the ship's hold, but piled in tiers somewhat higher than usual. The ship sailed from Calcutta in March, and reached Boston in July. Every precaution was taken during the voyage to diminish the heat of the hold by ventilation, and, upon reaching Bos- ton, the bags were hoisted eut of the hold and delivered on the wharf, in the usual manner, by means of slings. ffeld, under the circumstances of the case, that a slrinkage of about 5 per cent, of the weight of the catch was owing to the inherent nature and quality of the article itself , and net to any negligence of the owners of the ship.

This is a libel in personam, against the owners of the ship Iceberg, to recover for loss and damage of 2,502 bags of cutch, on a voyage from Calcutta to Boston.

In the course of the voy- age, in consequence of the heat of the lower hold, where it was stowed, the cutch had softened, had leaked out of the bags, and run together, and had become mingled with. the fragments of the bags and the dunnage, and had suffered a shrinkage of about 5 per cent, of its weight as received at Calcutta.

It charges that the directors permitted A. A. Hutchinson, now a bankrupt, to overdraw in 1872 and 1873 to the amount of $15,000, although he was at the time also largely indebted to the bank on negotiable notes inadequately securod. It charges that the directors, in July, 1873, declared a dividend of 6 per cent, upon the face value of the capital stock of the bank, amounting to $5,921, that being dividend No. 12; and that this dividend was unlawfully paid out of the money of depos- itors and capital stock, and was paid to share-holders, whether their subscriptions td the capital stock had been fully paid or not. It charges that the directors declared and paid a dividend in January, 1873, known as dividend No. 11, amounting to $5,897, which was paid out of capital stock and deposits under like cù-cumatances to those charged as to dividend No. 12. The same charge is repeated as to divi- dends No. 10 and 9, paid respeotively in July, 1872, and in January, 1872 — one of them amounting to $4,643, and the other to $5,636; all these dividends being of 6 per cent, on the nominal value of the capital stock. The bnl charges that the said four dividends were declared and paid, although the least investigation would have dis- closed that the capitaJ stock of the bank had already been exhausted by eight previous dividends which the bank had declared and paid — the firs; being of 10 per cent., and amounting to $907; the second, of 13J^ per cent., amounting to $2,076; the third, of -10 per cent., amounting to $2,236; the fourth, of 10 per cent., amounting to $7,019; thefifth, of 5 per cent., amounting to $8,835 ; the sixth, of 8 per cent., amounting to $8,420; the seventh amounting to $7,634; and the eighth to $2,576. The bili charges that the directors, after all the profits and capital of the bank had been absorbed by "enormous dividends" declared up to 1872, and by loans upon worthless and inadequate securities, nevertheless did, in the yearsof 1872 and 1873, with the capital andthefunds of depositors, buy up stock of the bank, as set out in a list exhibited, paying therefor $10,777.

It charges that Armstead, the cashier, is in default to the bank in the sum of |9,162, and that other losses have ocourred to the bank in consequence of certain of bis acts ; that he is utterly insolvent, and that the directors are responsible for the default and the losses referred to. Such, in condensed form, are the allegations of the bill, which the demurrer of the defendants admits to be true for the purpose of pleading. I am to assume that they are true, iu considering the questions raised by the demurrer. In what will be said further on in this opinion ail the sev- eral objections of the demurrer, exoept that mentioned in the third specification, will be either virtually or expressly con- sidered. It is objected in this third specification that the causes of action set out in the bill did not accrue within two years before the institution of this suit. This objection is not well taken. It is not necessary that a cause of action should originally accrue or arise within two years before suit is brought by an assignee in bankruptcy. It is only necessary that it shall exist at the filing of the petition in bankruptcy ; and that suit upon it shall be brought by the assignee within two yeiars after his appointment to office. It is settled law (In re Eldridge e Co. 2 Hughes, 256) that "the effect in bankruptcy of the petition, the adjudication, and the assign- ment is to vest the assets in the assignee as a trust, against which the statute of limitations ceases to run" from the date of the petition. Assuming that the right of action existed, as in this case, at the date of the petition in bankruptcy, then the assignee in bankruptcy (the trustees here) has a right to sue within two years "from the time when the cause of action accrued for or against such assignee," that time being the date of the appointment and qualification of the assignee. The third specification of the demurrer must, therefore, be overrUled, for thia bill was filed on the first of April, 1 876, and the court will take judicial notice of the fact that the trustees were appointed more than ten days after the twenty- eighth day of March, 1874, the day of adjudication.

The bill in the present case makea no charge against the defendants as to the first three of the grounds of liability thus set out. It does not charge personal fraud or embezzle- ment ; it does not charge wilf ul misconduct or breach of trust bommitted for their own personal benefit at the expense of the interests of their corporation. It does not charge acts tdtra vires, unless, indeed, as is doubtless the case, the unlaw- ful declaration and payment of dividends out of capital stock and deposits fall within that designation. But it does charge throughout, such gross inattention and negligence on the part of defendants as allowed fraud and waste and ruinons injury to be committed, during two years of looseness and license, by officers, agents, and co-directors, who were under their control. Clearly, therefore, although the case of Spering's Appeal did show a dismissal of a bill in many of its features like that of the bill und.er consideration, yet the eminent court, in doing so, placed its ruling on grounds not belong- ing to the present case; and in its enumeration of acts, for whicfa it was of opinion that directors of a bank would be per- sonally liable, included the grounds on which this suit is brought. It will abundantly appear, from authorities and reported cases to be cited in the sequel, that the managing officers of corporations are personally liable for the results of gross neg- ligence, or what the jurists call crassa negligentia. If, by reck- less inattention to the duties confided to them by their cor- poration, frauds and misconduct are perpetrated by officers, agents, and co-directors, which ordinary care on their part would have prevented, then I think it may be said with truth that it is now elementary law, to be fouhd in all the books, that directors are personally liable for the losses resulting.

Flint, 6 Allen, 52, which was a suit in equity by some stockholders against directors, the court say that in the discavery of frauda, and in furnishing remedies to parties defrauded, equity cannot suffer teclinicalities to stand in the way, but seizes upon the. substance of the case and holds all parties to their just responsibility, foUowing trust property into the hands of remote grantees and purchasers who have taken it with notice of the trust, in order to subject it to the trust. In March v. Eastern R. Cp. 40 N. H. 548, where the parties were in similar relations, the court entertained a bill to en- join, etc. In Heath v. The Erie B.Co. 8 Blatchf. 348, it was held that if several trustees are ail- of them implicated in a com- mon breach of trust, for •which the cestui que trust seeks relief in equity, ,he may bring suit against all of them, or against any of them separately, at his election, the tort being treated as several as well as joint, This suit was brought in equity by eight share-holders, who were foreigners. They made the Company and three of its directors defendants, thirteen other di- rectors not being brought in as such. The bill was sustained, and the relief asked for granted. In Curran v. Bank of Arkansas, 15 How. 311, it is said by the United States supreme court that it being "once admitted that the property of an insolvent corporation, while under the management of its ofEcers, is a trust f und in their iiands for the beneflt of creditors, it foUows that a court of equity, which never allows a trust to fail for want of a trustee, would see to the execution of that trust, although, by the dissolution of that corporation, the legal title to its property had been changed."

Alston, 1 Phillips, 790.] I will conclude this review of cases by citing the early, lead- ing, and important one of the Charitable Corporation, etc., v. Sutton, 2 Atkins, 401. The conapany brought a bill against its committee naen (directors) and other officers, praying to be relieved of their services, and to have satisfaction for breaches of trust, fraud, and mismanagement. The transac- tions complained of ran through a series of years, and wera committed, some by part of the defendants, some by others, causing losses, attributable, some to one or more defendants, some to others, making a case of varions and complicated responsibility, eapecially as the charge was of non-feasanoe or neglect of duty as well as of malfeasance. , The court held that the bill vrould lie, and among other things decided — First, that a gross non-attendance in a director may make him guilty of the breaches of trust com- mitted by officers and other directors ; second, that a director's saying that he had no benefit from his office but such as was merely honorary, is no excuse for his want of diligence; and, third, that when a supine negligence ap- peared in all the board, by which a complicated loss bas hap- pened, they are all liable. Considering that all the directors are liable, jointly and Beverally, in such a state of things, a bill eeeking to maka them so may not be amenable to the objection of multifa- riousness which would be open to that objection if the de- fendants were liable only severally. This point was decided by Lord Hardwicke in this case of the Charitable Corpora- tion, and his words on the subject were very emphatic. He said: "Objection has been made that the court can make no decree upon these persons which will be just, for it is said every man's non-attendance or omission of duty is his own default, and that each particular person must bear such a pro- ' portion as is suitable to the loss arising from his particular neglect, which makes it a case out of the power of this court.

"— A case Is not " oontinued to its flaal consummatiori," within the meaning of the aot repealing the bankrupt law of 1841, although the bankrupt may iave been diBcharged and his estate distributed, go long as there re- mains any order, decree, or action for the court, in the proper and usual exercise of its jurisdiction in llke cases, to enter or to take, or any redress or relief to be given to any party or person properly apply- ing to the court theref or in the case. 6. Same — Salb of Real Estatk — Notice of Sale — Misdesokiption. — An ofScial assignee in bankruptcy, under the rules of the court, pro- ceeded to sell an interest in certain real property at public auction. It was described in the bankrupt's achedule of assets as " my joint interest in Hunter purchase of lots in Chicago in Co. B. Hyde, man- aged by Charles Butler, agent in New York, and William B. Ogden, agent in Chicago; cost, originally, $20,000. This daim may be alreadj legally held by Edward Eldridge, of Boston, under my assignment to him of ninth June, 1838." In the adrertised notice of saleit was referred to as the bankrupt's interest "in sundry lots in Chicago, 111., pur- chased with Simeon Hyde, and assigned to Henry Eldridge, Boston." This notice also referred to the papers on flle in the office of the court fbr a more certain and full description of the interest advertised for sale. The interest in the property in question never really had been assigned to Eldridge, and the advertised description was theref ore er- roneous in that particular. Held, that such interest passed under the subsequent public sale of the assignee, notwithstanding the erro- neouB description. C Same — Samb — Non-Delivert of Dbed. — Such notice also contained the provision, " purchaser paying expenses of the formai deed of sale, if one be required, in addition to the amount of purchase." Ileld, in view of this provision, and in view of the fact that there had been a valid sale of the interest in the Chicago property, under which the price had been paid, that the mere non-delivery of a deed would not authorize a re-sale of such interest. 7. Laches — ^Application to Annul Dbeds. — Although the dooti ine of laches may have some application to a petition to annul deeds inad- vertently given under the pretended authority of a court, to which its sanction was improperly obtained, yet it is clear that that pri nciple can have far less force in such case than in a prooeeding between vendor and vendee, where the vendee is put in possession under the deed afterwards assailed. Certain deeds in this case set aside as having been inadvertently and illegally made. In Bankruptey, under the act of congress passed August 19, 1841. ■ William Allen Butler, for petitioners. B. F.

It bas nothing to do with, and cannot affect, the questions involved in these applications, which are simply of the valid- ity and bona fides of the deeds in question, and Chapman's complicity in the fraud, if they are void for fraud, and of the petitioners' alleged laches in making the applications to set them aside, which, it is claimed by the respondent, should now preclude them from the relief asked for. We corne, theref ore, to the consideration pf those questions. The deeds in question made by Waddell, as assignee in bankruptcy of Henry King, are ûve in number, as f ollows : (1) A deed to Gordon L. Ford, dated July 15, 1845, but acknowledged and admitted to have been executed October 26, 1868; (2) a deed to Gordon L. Ford, of the same date, and executed on the same day as the preceding; (3) ia deed to Isaac L. Hupt, dated December 3, 1858; (4) a deed to Isaao L, Hunt,, dated January 19, 1859; (5) ;a deed, to Chapman, the respondent, without date; but acknowledged July 11, 1862. TJie deeds in questiop. made by Waddell, as assignee in bankruptcy of Simeon Hyde, are three in number, as fol- lows: (1) A deed to Gordon L.Ford, dated October 26, 1858; (2) a deed to Isaac L. Hnnt, dated January 19, 1859; (3) a deed to Chapman, the respondent, dated July 10, 1862. It is conceded that the two.deeds to Chapman were taken for the purpose of oorrecting a supposed error in the previens deeds, which error, it is now fidmitted, did not exist, and if a case is made out against Chapman for vacating the other deeds, these must also be vacated on the same grounds. It is unnecessary, therefore, to state the case, except with refei'- ence to the six earlier deeds. Long before the making of these deeds, certain proceedings were had in this court in rela- tion to the interest of the bankrupts supposed to be affected by the deeds. Henry King's schedule of assets thus refers to the matter of this property : "My joint interest in Hunter purchase of lots in Chicago in Co. S.

The variaiice between the deeds and the orders cannot hare bcen acaidental, and being intentional was itself a gross fraud on the court, as well as upon the prior pur- chaser, on the part of all concerned in procuring the deeds. Simeon Hyde purehased his interest in the property in question in 1835 of one Porter, and he held a certificate exe- cuted by Charles Butler, dated October 10, 1835, to the effect that he wàs entitled to one-tenth of the property "to be ac- counted for in money (and not in land) as a personal intereet when the said property shall be sold and the avafls theieof realized." On the tenth of December, 1836, Simeon Hyde executed an assignment of this certificate, and of all his right, title, and interest growing out of it, to James N.Hyde. This assignment was made tô secure James N. Hyde against indorsements niade for Simeon Hyde. In Simeon Hyde's bankruptcy sehedule, dated August 19, 1841, the property is described as "one-tenth of an interest with Charles Butler and others in what is termed the Hùnter purchase, consisting of a large number of lots in Wolcott's addition, north side of the river, in Chicago; William B. Ogden, oî Chicago, agent." Meanwhile,' James N. Hyde had made an assignment to trustees for the benefit of creditors, and on the eighth of May, 1844, the assignees of James N. Hyde assigned, by an instru- ment under seal, the said certificate, and all the interest of James N. Hyde therein, and all the estate, right, claim, and interest in the promises referred to therein to William B. Ogden for a valuable consideration, Ogden also purehased the shares of the other ownears and has ever sinee been in possession of the lands, claiming to be their sole owner.

An examination of the numerous cases cited in this opinion shows that in no case has a complete . emancipation been inferred from the mere acquiescence of the pareiit in the child's contracting for and receiving his own earnings, nor in any case where the child had never left the parental home, and was employed in the sanie place and business as the father. "Emanicipation being the exception, and not the rule, the burden is upon those who assert it. Sumner v. Sehec, 3 Me. 223.

They arrived there after sundown, when it was already dusk, and the slip was full of ice, which extended out into the river 200 feet or more. It was drift ice ; not in large masses, but it vould have required considerable time to have got her into the slip as things were. The tide was more than half ebb. The libel charges that she could have been safely put in her slip when she arrived, and that the respondent deceived the master as to the depth of the water there, and fraudulently misrepre- sented that there was not sufficient depth of water for her to go in safely. As to this charge of deceit and fraud, it is not borne out by the evidence. I think the proof is that the re- spondent in good faith concluded that it was not safe to attempt to put her into the slip as the tide then was, and that he is not chargeable with any fault in not trying to do 80. And it appears that he could not do it without the help pf the tug, and the master of the tug seems to have been unwilling to attempt it. Then foUowed some conference be- tween the respondent and the master as to what should be done. The master seems to have proposed to be anchored in the river, off Thirty-fourth street. He asked the pilot if it was a safe place to anchor. The respondent answered that it was ; and he brought the bark to an anchor near the middle of the river. The master then signed the pilot's card or bill, which indicated that he had finished his service, and dismissed the tug. The respondent left with the tug. This was about half-past seven in the evening. During the night the westerly wind died out, and the ice, coming down with the next ebb tide in great masses, surrounded the vessel and eut and injured her planks on and near the bow, so that they were nearly eut through. She was in great peril of being sunk, and, in the morning, put her flag at half-mast, to call assistance. By the aid of three tugs she was finally put into her berth on the north side of the Thirty-fourth-street pier.

It has been held, though with considerable hesitation, in England, that the admiralty has no jurisdiction of a suit in personam against a pilot for damages frorti a collision caused by his unskilfulness, the suit being by the owner of the vessel injured, net the one which he had charge of. The Alexandria, L. E. 3 Ad. & Ec. 574, 582. The court followed the decision in The Urania, 10 W. E. 97, which appears to have proceeded partly on the ground that the pilot, having given a bond with a penalty, was liable only upon the bond, and partly on the terms of the English statutes oonferring jurisdiction on the court. The New York pilots are required to give a bond for tl^e ufaj^thful performance of their duty, but it is not for the beneftt of those who may suffer from their negligence or want of skill, but for the purpose of providing rewards and the relief c^l vessels in distress. N. Y, Pilotage Act, §§ 11 and 22. It cannot he deemed, theref ore, to hav© been intended tp affect the remedies of others against them. In Hobart v. Drogan, 10 Pet. 108, it was held that the courts of admii-alty had jurisdiction' of sujts by pilots for their fees, although they ^re appointed under state laws, and their conapensation is fi?,ed by the same laws, on the ground that the contract and the service were wholly maritime. It seems, also, that the present suit isfor a marine tort — an act of negligence or omission of duty in violation of a maritime contract,, from which resulted damage. The court has jurisdiction. The wrong done, if any, and the damage sufïered, were wholly on the water. On the merita the libellant is entitled to a decree. The very reason for having pilots at ail is that they know the peculiar perils of the port, which are presumed to be unknown to the masters of vessels, and espeoially of foreign vessels. Without a pilot to protect the vessel against these dangers she is unseaworthy. When, therefore, a pilot takes charge of a vessel at sea, to bring her into port, his duty is to stay by her, unless discharged, till she reaches her destination or fiome place of safety.

When the last payment was ruade the eertificate was assigned by Mr. Buchanan. No doiibt' «eetiis to have been entertained by the coal company that Mr. Buchanan was duly authorized to transfer the certificate, and perhaps it was net unreasonable that this conclusion should be reached. Mr. Buchanan has insisted, certainly from the beginning of this litigation, that he had due authority. Mr. Sharpe seems to be a very fair, well-meaning man, in- tending to do what was right and proper, and yet he was not quite as particular and clear as he ought to have been in dealing with a person like Mr. Buchanan. When first in- formed that Mr. Buchanan had the money, he did not inquire as precisely and definitely into ail the circumstances of the case as he ought to have done. If, for instance, — on his theory of the case, — he had said to Mr. Buchanan, " You had no right to sell this property ;' what you did waS an unauthorized act ;" and he if had then re'^used to treat with Mr. Buchanan on the basis that he was authorized to receive the money ai'isihg from the sale of the property, there would have been no dif&culty about thô case. But he seems not tohavetaken any decided line of conduct, and adhered to it, froîn the first intimation given to him that the money had been reoeived. It is true, he claims that while Mr. Buchanan had told him He had sold the property and got the money, Mr. Buchanan àfterwàrds said the property had beeù redeemed, and that he did not understand distinctly that the certificate of purchase had been assigned. But it ib clear, I think, from the inter- views which took place between him and Mr. Buchanan, that the main object he had wastoobtain the-oioney. Of course, that was natural. It did not matter to the Insurance com- pany whether Mr. Buchanan had sold the land, or whefcher the decree of foreclosure had been paid or the property re- deemed. They did not wish to make a speculation off the sale. AU they wanted was the money, principal and interest, and it is to be observed that this is not without significance in determining what is the true view to be taken by the court.

In re Keaft and others, Bankrupts. [District Court, 8. D. Mw Torh. -, 1880., 1. Bakkbuptct — DiscHARGB— EsTOPPEL. — The acceptance of a diyidend under an unlawful assignaient doea not estop a creditor from object- ing to the discharge of the assigner under subsequent proceedings in banliruptcy, where such creditor had no power to dissent from, repu- diate, or avoid such assignaient. Jos. S. Bosworth, Jr., îoi bànkrupt. JR. E. Prime, for creditor. Choate, D. J, In this case a reliearîng has teen granted upon the question of the discharge of the bànkrupt Kraft, upon the suggestion that the court and counsel had entirely overiooked one point in the case, which might be decisive in his favor. The discharge was refused on the ground that the bànkrupt had made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors about two years and seven months before he filed his petition. The point now made is that the opposing cred- itors received dividends under the voluntary assignment, and have thereby affirmed its validity, and are estopped to set it up as a fraudaient conveyance to prevent a discharge. There is some evidence upon which it is claimed that one of the two opposing creditors virtually assented to the assign- ment at or before the time it was exeeuted. This was held not sufficient as showing their assent to it, The case cited upon this rehearing, and hereinafter referred to, might lead to a reoonsideration of this question if it could affect the resuit. But as it is conceded that no such assent, otherwise than by the acceptance of a dividend, is shown against the other opposing creditor, it is unnecessary to consider further the effect of that evidence. The dividend was paid to the opposing creditors about 15 months after the execution of the assignment. Is this such a ratification of the assignment as precludes the creditor from opposing the discharge of the assigner in a subsequent bankruptcy, on the ground of his making the general assignment ?

This is the purport of the English (lecisîona, and the rule might be the same here if a single crediter could put the debtor into bankruptcy. In re Cawkwell, 19 Ves. 232; Bam- ford V. Baron, 2 T.

But ■where the crediter cannot, by any action of bis own, repudiate, dissent from, or undo the act of the debtor, his taking of a dividend under the assignaient cannot be deemed such an assent to it, or ratification of it, that he will be estopped to allege it against the debtor as a ground for ref using his dis- charge. The act done is, as regards the crediter, unlawful and improper; constructively fraudulent, in divertingthe Set- tlement of the insolvent debtor's estate from that mode of administration appointed by law to another mode seleeted by him ; and the appointed consequence of the illegality is the • forfeitare of the right to a discharge if opposed by the cred. itor 80 injured. To hold that the taking of a dividend by the crediter under this unlawful assignment, which he can neither prevent nor undo, estops him from alleging the making of it as a violation of law which ferfeits a discharge, weuld put it in the power of the debtor, designing an act in violation of the rights of his crediter, te compel the crediter to elect either to lese ail benefit of the distribution of his estate, or te lese the right to visit upon him the rightful consequence ef the illegal act. Such a resuit would be as clearly against geod faith and good morals, as it is te allow one whe has assented to an act te allege it against the party deing it, to the disadvantage ef that party, as if it were done without his consent and to his prejudice.

But obviously there is nothing in the suggestion that a purchaser under a marshal's sale, or one who succceded to his title, is net, equally with any other person having or claiming to have a title to a vessel, liable to be sued, in an action of replevin to recover the same, in any state court which, under the laws of the state, has jurisdiction over the parties, and also jurisdiction over the subject-matter; that is, of an action of replevin. Possession under a marshal's deed gives the grantee no exemption from being sued. If sued he must show his title by way of defence. The eommencing of a suit against him by due process of law is not an interference with the author-. ity of the marshal, or with the court by whoae authority he eells. There is nothing in the laws of the United States im- pairing the concurrent jurisdiction of the state courts over suits for the possession of ships beeause the title of the de- fendant sued is thus derived.

Nor is there any difference between a court of general and a court of limited jurisdiction in the elïect of the judgment as a conclusive determination of the rights of the parties, pro- vided the court had jurisdiction to hear and determine the case, and jurisdiction of the parties. A judgment of an in- ferior court is just as biuding in such a case as that of a court of general jurisdiction, subject, of course, to that right of appeal or review which the laws of the state may give to the defeated party. It seems also to be the law of the state of New York that the judgment rendered by a justice's court is valid, though not entered in his doeket, and omissions in his docket may be supplied by paroi evidence. In this case, although the entry of judgment is simply "Costs, 8.75," it has been satis- factorily shown that the justice declared his judgment in favor of the plaintiff, after trial and verdict, and in conformity to the verdict.

Beemed to exceed the value of the boat, Walier, with the approval of the master, and to save expense, gave the con- sent to, the decree of condemnation and sale, and also the consent for tl^ distribution of the proceeds. Neither the master nor Walker received any part of the proceeds. The evidence fails to show any fraud on the part of Walker or of the purchaser, Murtagh, and.this libellant in this suit was a purchaser in good faith from Murtagh's executor, So far as appears, the claims for which the several libels were filed were valid liens on the boat, and the evidence does not show that she was then worth more than $600, the price paid by Murtagh. On this state of facts the decree of con- demnation and sale are conclusive in favor of the purchaser, not with standing any irregularity in the notice given, or in- tended to be given, to parties in interest, by publication. A purchaser in good faith under a marshal's sale, upon a decree of a court of admiralty, will be protected in bis title if the court had Jurisdiction to decree the sale. The rules of the court require notice by publication before a default can be entered. If these rules have not been observed it is good ground for opening the decree and letting in a party to de- fend. The Hornet, Abb. Adm. 57. But the decree is valid until set aside or reversed, and cannot be attacked collaterally. Jurisdiction over the vessel is acquired by its seizure by the marshal under the process of the court, and this seizure and possession by the marshal are, in view of the law, notice to ail persons interested of the pendency of the proceedings, and of their right to intervene and protect their interests. Thus, in the case of The Mary, 9 Crancb, 126, 144, Chief Jus- tice Marshall says : "The whole world, it is said, are parties in an admiralty cause ; and, therefore, the whole world is bound by the decision. The reason on which this dictum stands will determine its extent. Every person may make himself a party, and appeal from the sentence; but notice of the con- troversy is necessary in order to become a party, and it is a principle of natural justice, of universal obligation, that be- fore the rights of an indivual be bound by a judicial sentence be shall have notice, either actual or implied, of the proceed-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 02w4kr5o3oawc97e0mv9f8ga8gf2jfl Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/927 104 642708 15135023 14561451 2025-06-14T22:26:29Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: whieh → which, EEPORT → REPORT, FEDERAIi → FEDERAL, removed: � (6) 15135023 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>920 FEDERAL REPORTJSR. no default of all who did not appear was eutered. If so, there was a departnre from the usual practice of the court. But every intendment, not inconsistent with the record, must be indulged to support the decree and the purchas«r'a title. The record does not show that a proclamation was not made, nor that a default was not taken. It may have been done and the clerk may have failed to note it. But if these for- malities were not observed, it is not perceived that the failure was anything more than error or irregularity. The substan- tial consideration is that the owners had constructive notice, and did not appear to defend their right. The court then had before it the fact that the vessel had bcen seized and held by the marshal, under his process, until its return day; that the process was duly served on the vessel itself, and that the only parties wh6 appeared as ciaimants consentsd to a decree of condemnation and sale. Whoever it waa whi- appeared by Mr. Walker had not made himself properly a claimant, since he had filed no sworn claim stating that he alone was the owner, nor given security for costs. His ap- pearance might have been struck out on motion, and perhaps his consent was not necessary to the validity of a decree ; but it was proper to have his consent, as appears to have been done. The circumstance that the decree recites the consent and does not recite the default of all other parties, is immaterial, ail other parties being in fact in default by not appearing. The omission is a merely formai defect, which could be amended or entirely disregarded. The allegations of fraud contained in the answer are not sustained by the proofs. Murtagh, the libellant, had an equal right with all other per- Bons to become a bidder and purchaser at the sale. The only difference that can be suggested between his position in that respect and that of any other person is that, being a party to the suit, he might be more directly chargeable with knowledge of circumstances, if there were any, in the course of the proceedings, indicating fraud. But there is no proof of fraud on his part. Upon the whole case it must be held that however irregular and erroneouB the decree may have been, it was not, by rea-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> npg7xati9p67tl47rwf3fcpj1xk3x11 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 3.djvu/935 104 642716 15135024 8172390 2025-06-14T22:26:30Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EEPORT → REPORT, EPORTEE. → EPORTER., removed: � (15) 15135024 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>928 FEDBEAL REPORTER. justified in assuming that the schooner was proceeding under wind and tide, and in acting, upou that assumption, as she did. The libel must be dismissed and with eosts. BuBT V. The Steam-Boat Nevada. {District Court, E. D. Ne-J) York. July 16, X880.) 1. Collision — NBGLiaEircB. Oscar Frisbie, for libellant. Beebe, Wilcox dk Hobbs, for claimant. Bbnedict, D. J. The evidence shows that the lighter Martin, beating in the East river with a fresh breeze from the eastward and an ebb tide, stood over towurds the New York shore across the course of the ferry-boat Nevada, then coming down the river not far from the middle thereof . After having crossed the course of the Nevada, the lighter went about at a considerable distance from the New York shore, and so close to the Nevada as to make it impossible for a collision to be avoided by any manœuvre on the part of the Nevada. The excuse given in behalf of the lighter, for going about when she did, is the existence at the time of an eddy along the New York shore, which, it is contended, made it impru- dent for her to continue her tack towards the New York shore. The excuse is not sufficient. There was an eddy along the New York shore, but it was not such as to render the lighter unmanageable. She could bave gone on in the eddy and have made her tack nearer the New York shore in safety. This it was her duty to do under the circumstances, and con- sidering her proximity to the ferry-boat then approaching in plain sight. The failure of the lighter to keep on further towards the New York shore, as she might have done with safety, and not any fault on the part of the ferry-boat, was the cause of the collision. Libel dismissed, with costs.

In authorizing and requiring the transfer of cases involving particular con- troversies from a state court to a federal court, the statute thereby clothed the latter court with all the anthority easential for the complete adjudication of the controversies, even though it shouW be admitted that that court could not have taken original cognizanee of the cases." And further, after discuss- ing the point that the suit was one to annul the will as a muni- ment of title, the opinion proceeds: "But * * * it is sufficient, for the disposition of the case, that the statute of 1867, in authorizing a transfer of the cause to the federal court, does, in our judgment, by that fact, invest that court with all needed jurisdiction to adjudicate finally and settle the controversy involved." With equal force might this language be used in considering the question as it arises in the case at bar under the removal act of 1875. It is also observed by Justice Field, in his opinion, that "the limitation of the original jurisdiction of the federal court, and of the right of removal from a state court, to a class of cases between citizens of different states involving a desig- nated amount, and brought by or against resident citizens of the state, was only a matter of legislative discretion. The constitution imposes no limitation upon the class of cases involving controversies between citizens of different states to which the judicial power of the United States may be ex- tended; and congress may, therefore, lawfully provide for bringing, at the option of either of the parties, all such con- troversies within the jurisdiction of the federal jiidiciary." Since the jurisdiction to establish a lost will was vested by statute of the state in the circuit courts of the state, and not in the probate courts; and since the act of congress of 1875 autborizes the removal from the state circuit court to the federal court of any suit involving a specifled amount, and in M'hieh there is a controversy between citizens of different states; and in view of the enunoiation of the supreme court<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> tsg7ectmwrbzc3677nz8iqedajq2d5a Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/28 104 643473 15135050 8172592 2025-06-14T22:26:55Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, FEDBB → FEDER, EDERAIi → EDERAL , TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (11) 15135050 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>le FEDERAL REPORTER. Herod a Winter, Ralph HiU, and S. Stansîfer, for assignee. Harrison, Hines e Miller, and McDonald de Butler, for cred- itors. Dbummond, 0. J. This is a motion to dismiss two appeals that have been taken in a bankruptoy case from orders of the district court disallowing certain claims against the estate of the bankrupts. Thefacts are that the order disallowing these claims was madeby the district court on the twenty-seventh of Novem- ber, 1879. That order seems to have been made in the ab- sence of counsel for the claimant, and on an application to the court on the seventeenth of December. 1879, the court opened the orders and reconsidered the cases for the purpose of allowing the parties to take an appeal to the circuit court, reforming its orders in both cases. An appeal was taken from that order on the seventeenth of December, and there was no question about the appeal being taken in the proper time, and the bond being given so as ta consumniate that appeal. The appeal was taken during the term of the court. In fact, the -term of the court still continues, The objection on the part of the assignees to this appeal is that the appellants did not comply with the law of coii- gress in entering tbeir appeal in the circuit court within ten days from the time the order was rendered. The question is whether that should have been done. The contention between the two parties is : On the part of the assignees, that the appeal should be entered in the cir- cuit court, if the court is in session at the time the order is entered, and continues up to the end of the ten days, during the court, although it is the same term. On the other hand, it is claimed by the appellants that it is sufficient if the appeal is entered in the circuit court at the succeeding term after the order entered. I am of the opinion that the true construction of the acts of congress and of the rules of the supreme court, on the sub- ject, is that the appeal should be entered in the circuit court within ten days after the appeal is taken, although the cir- cuit court is in session at the time the ortlcr is made, and continues so up to the end of the ten days.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 2v8x2h2g1jhhv1rjfirh6rsihx46a1z Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/40 104 643485 15135071 14561428 2025-06-14T22:27:16Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBTER → PORTER, KBPOR → REPOR, removed: � (12) 15135071 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>26 FEDERAL REPORTER. the trial upon the points then raised against the negotiability of the note sued on. I think it entirely clear of all doubt that an administrator may negotiate a note made payable ta him, and that the recital of the consideration in tli^ face of the note does not at all affect its negotiable character. If the note in question had said that it was subject to the agreement for the purchase of the land, or used other words indicating that it was to be burdened with the conditions of that agree- ment, the case would he different. Cushing y. Field, (Sup. Ct. Me.) 13 Chi. Leg. News, 11. The note is hereinafter copied, and I need only refer to its language to show that it is a simple recital of the consideration. Barchell v. Slocock, 2 Ld. Eaym. 1545; Baïley v. Bawley, 1 Swan, 295; Baxter Y.Stew- art, 4 Sneed, 213. Even in Tennessee, then, where whatever is suffioient to put a person upon inquiry amounts to notice, the mere recital that the consideration was for land does not have this effect. Ryland v. Brswn, 2 Head, 270 ; Merritt v. Duncan, 7 Heisk. 156. But in the courts of the United States, where the rulo is that there must he actual notice, or bad faith, to charge the holder for value, there can be no question that the recitals of this note are not suffioient to charge the plaintiff with any equities between the defendants and the payee. Goodman v. Simonds, 20 How. 343 ; Merritt v. Duncan, supra; Murray v. Lardner, 2 "Wall. 110. This brings us to the question of fact upon the proof as to notice. It is not pretended that there was anything further to charge plaintiff with notice than that he knew the land lay in Arkansas, and that Gregg was an administrator in Arkan- sas. It is said by a witness that the officer of the bank "looked at some papers" at the moment of taking the note befor.e he agreed to take it. What the papers were, whether one thing or another, is not proved, nor is there anything from which to infer that there was in that circumatance a probable knowledge of any fact connected with this note. It may havo been a report of some commercial agency showing the standing of defendants, for anything that appeared in proof, or it mtiy have been some other paper totally disconnected with this transaction.

Yet it is well settled that a bill or note is not negotiable unless it contains these words, or some Tvord of like effect, except where made so by local statute. 1 Am. Lead. Cas. (5th Ed.) 399, top page; 3 Kent, (12th Ed.) 77; 1 Dan'l, Neg. Inst. §§ lOe-107. The most direct and satis- factory case I have found is Gerard v. La Corte, 1 Dali. 194; S. C. 1 Am. Lead. Cas. (5th Ed.) 369. The unsatisfaetory state of the law on this subject induced the state of North Carolina, from which we bave derived it, nearly 100 years ago, to enact that "every bill, bond, or note for money, whether sealed or not, and whether expressed to he payable to order, or for value received, or not, shall be nego- tiable in the same manner as promissory notes." Act 1786, c. 4, § 1; T. & B. Code, § 1937. The act of 1762 (ohapter 9) had Bubstantially re-enacted the statute of Anne. T. & 8. Code, § 1956. The argument now made is that the only effect of the act of 1786 was to make bills single negotiable in the same manner as promissory notes were under the act of 1762, and notes like this assignable. This is contrary to the ■words of the act itself, which says that "every note for money, whether expressed to be payable to order or not, shall be negotiable in the same manner as promissory notes." This is more manifest by reference to the original act itself, which this section of the Code more briefly expresses. Be- sides, it was further amended by the acts of 1820 (chapter 25) and 1837, (chapter 5,) where it is enacted that upon every such instrument the holder may main tain a joint action against the maker and the indorsers, or a several action against any one or more of the indorsers. T. & S. Code, § 1958. See, also, Id. § 1967. The cases cited in the notes to these sections of the Code fully sustain this construction, which is too plain to require further notice. This note is, then, fully negotiable by our local statute. It is confidently argued, however, that the federal courts do not recognize or enforce the laws of the states upon the subject of commercial law, and that this question must be decided according to the law merchant and the statute of Anne, and that this act cannot change the<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> e03x9h16szvrzhbxwcc4d8si3gl5aem Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/50 104 643495 15135090 14644217 2025-06-14T22:27:35Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: witb → with, AIi → AL , EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, TEB. → TER., removed: � (7) 15135090 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>36 PEDKBAL REPORTER. further judicial construction. The legislature tas changed the rule, in actions before a justice of the peace, by amending section 4160 of the Code, and now, in those actions, "if the plaintiff fails in establishing any demands against the de- fendant, "the defendant is nevertheless entitled to bave judg^ ment for whatever is due him on bis cross-action. Acts 1879, C.222, p. 265. This act does not, bowever, apply to any suits except those commenced before a justice qf the peace, and bas not changed the rule under section 2922 of the Code. Wby this distinction bas been made we cannot tell, but in tracing these sections to their originals it will be seen that suits be- fore justices of the peace bave always been more favored than others in this matter of the defendant's rights under his plea: of set-off, and it is plain this act bas followed that distinction. The law, therefore^ remains, in regard to this suit, as it stood priorto the act of 1879; so that, if the parties ^otofriai and the plaintiff fails in his action, the defendant can recover nothing on his set-off. Henry v. Walker, 11 Heisk. 194; Baker y. Grigsby, 7 Heisk. 627 ; Railroad v. Galbraith, 1 Heisk. 482 ; Brazelton V. Railroad, 3 Head, 570; Edington v. Pickle, 1 Sneed, 122; Barnard v. Young, 5 Humph. 100. But in all these cases there was a trial before the jury or the justice, and it was held, under such circumstances, that the defendant cannot recover on his set-off if the plaintiff fails in his action; and in none of them did the plaintiff voluntarily dismiss his suit. Where he does this the rule is different, because, by the very ternis of the statute, if the plaintiff dismisses his suit before the jury retires the defend- ant may elect to proceed on his set-off in the eapacity of plaintiff. It is precisely this case to which the statute applies, and the decisions above referred to do not affect the question. It was held in Biley v. Carter, S Humph. 230, that after plea of set-off filed the plaintiff could not dismiss bis suit at all ; but the Code, § 2964, bas changed this, and he may now do so, but with an express provision that if be does the defend- ant may proceed on his set-off.

By a supplement to thig charter, passed in 1861, the Juuc- tion Eailroad Company was authorized to "make a complete line of railway from a point on the Philadelphia & Eeading railroad, at or near the bridge at Peters island, to a point on the Philadelphia., Wilmington & Baltimore Eailroad, at or near Gray's ferry bridge, by the most convenient and practi- cable. route." By further legislation the company was authorized to bor- row |500,000 upon mortgage of its property and franchises, and, upon this security, a loan of that amount was negotiated upon the authorized guaranty of it by the three companiea named. The .stock of the company was taken and ia now held by the Pennsylvania Eailroad Company, the Philadelphia & Eeading Eailroad Company, and the Philadelphia, Wilming- ton & Baltimore Eailroad Company, except a few shai'es which are held by individuals. At the organization of the company, in 1861, the president of the Pennsylvania Eailroad Company was elected its presi. dent, and occupied that position until 1867, during which time the whole line of its road was located definitely between its prescribed termini. Under his direction a large sum, to- wit, about $870,000, was expended in its construction, and the whole of the road, except that part between Market and Thirty- ûfth streets, was compieted by it. This intervening part was constructed by the Pennsylvania Eailroad Company, and was held by the supreme court of Pennsylvania to be the property, of that company, and this decision must be regarded as conclusive so far as the legal ownersliip of that link is concerned.

These cases being all of like nature, and relating to the same questions, have been by the order of the court Consolidated for the purpose of the trial, and are now to be submitted to you for your verdict upon the facts and in accordance with the law as given to you by the court. The plaintiff in an action of this character is, in the absence of any admission by defendant, bound to establish by a preponderance of evidence — First, the execution of the con- tract or policy of insurance sued on; second, the destruction, total or partial, of the property insured; third, the amoiint of the loss, or, in other words, the value of the insured property destroyed-; foarth, that such notice and preliminary proof of loss as the policy requires has been given. In these cases the defendants by their answers have ad- mitted the execution of the conti'act or policy sued on, as well as the destruction by fire, as alleged by plaintiff, of the prop- erty insured. They have also admitted that notice and proof of loss were duly given in all the cases sued on, to which your attention will be called hereafter. The defendants say that the property destroyed (a stock of clothing) was not of the actual cash value stated by plaintiffs in their petitions, and this presents the first issue of faots for you to determine. You are to consider and decide, in the light of all the evidence, what was the fair and reasonable cash value of the property in the city of St. Louis on the fourth of April, 1879, when the fire occurred. In determining this question you will consider the character and quality of the goods, their cost, their con- dition, the state of the market, any decline or advauce in value after purchase and before the fire, the iuvoices previ- ously made and the proof of subsequent purchases, as well as ail the facts and circumstances developed in the evidence and bearing upon the subject, and from all the evidence you will ascertain and by your verdict decide what was the actual cash value of the goods in the store of the plaintiff at the time of the fire and destroyed thereby.

In re Goodrich, i Dill. 230, it was beld that the statute implies Ijhat the money shall be aetually received, kept, and paid out by the clerk, and that, generally at least, ovôn where a fund is ordered to be paid through the clerk, the parties may disregard the order and pay directly, and deprive the clerk of bis commissions. And see Upton v. Triblecock, 4 Dill. 232, note. I doubt if I should go so far as was done in Goodrieh's Case, if it appeared that there was a combina- tion between the parties to make the payments so as to defeat the clerk's commissions. However, this case olearly falls within the rule that the clerk is not entitled to commissions unless the money passes through his hands, either aetually or constructively. It was not the duty of the assignee, under any statute or other law, to pay the fund he held into this court, nor was he even ordered to do so. The item of $90, charged by the clerk, must be, therefore, disallowed. HoLLT V, Vebgbnnbs Maohinb Co. {Circuit Court, D. Vermont. October 5, 1880.) 1.

FEDERAL REPORTEH. " ' •' - be removed from the rest of the stamp and from the tarrel, and could be preserved by the revenue oiïicer. The portion of the Locke device which is claimed to have been infringed, was constructed as follows : A piece of thin metal was impressed with letters or figures corresponding with the letters or figures upon the stub of the stamp. This piece, made of any appropriate form, was inserted in an aperture in the face of the stamp, and was retained in its place by a "Hacking piece" of paper, the two pieces of paper being gummed together for this purpose. 'This backing piece was prepared with dried gum on its outer face, so that the stàmp was ready for instant application to the cask. In the specification the patentee further says: "Instead of making the removable piece out of metal, or of making it in a piece separate from the stamp, it may be made of the- same piece of paper of which the stamp is composed by simply having its outline perforated, after the manner of postage stamps, but uugummed at its back, so as readily to be torn away and detached from the stamp." If the stamp was constructed acfcording to the latter method, it woald be a stamp made of one piece of paper, with îdeM- fying marks upon a portion of its surface corresponding with similar marks upon the stub 5 said portion being s6 constructed that it can easily be detstrched from the residue of the stamp after the whole stamp has been detached from the stub and has been affixed to the bari:eL Although the patentee speaks of a backing piece of paper which retained the metal slip in its place, and was to be gummed so as to adhere to the barrel, he does not mention this bacLing piece in con- nection with the stamp when made entirely of paper. Probably the fair construction of the specification is that the stamp is always to be providcd with a baoking piece. In deeiding the case, however, I prefer to assume that the patentee supposed that the dried gum was needed only upon the back of that portion of the stamp which Tas not to be torn away.

The defendant's stamp is of a single thickness of paper not gummed upon the back, but with a blank strip protecting the portions to be eut out from the paste upon the barrel. The blank strip was described in the plaintiff's specification. The difference is that in the use of the plaintiff's stamp the adhesive material is applied to the back of the stamp, while in the use of the defendant's stamp the adheSive material ia applied to the head of the barrel. The method of construc- tion of the two stamps is substantially the same, even assum- ing that the "backing piece" was not intended to be used •when the entire stamp is composed of one piece of paper. An attempt was made to attack the Locke patent for want of novelty, but the two antedating patents which were some- what feebly relied upon by the defendant, viz., the English patent of Edward Wilkins, dated November 13, 1851, and tha patent of Albon Man, dated September 3, 1867, refer ta devices so manifestly unlike the Locke stamp that further examination is unnecessary. The utility and patentability of the Locke stamp cannot be controverted, in view of the testimony which was intro- duced by the defendant respecting the Tarions devices which the government had used, and the great success of the device which was finally adopted. Let a decree be entered for the plaintiff directing an account and an injunction — the terms of the decree as to injunction to be settled upon hearing. Clendinin V.

She was high oui of water, while the sloop's deck was nearly on a level with it. The chain bobstay of the schooner was parted at the time near the cut-water, and her topmast was broken, so that it came down with the topsail. So great damage could not have been sustained unless these vessels had corne together with considerable violence, and it is unreasonable to suppose that the schooner was the only sufïerer. It is much more likely that this small, low craf t was crushed down by the larger vessel, and that her weight, when thrown upon the sloop, must have foreed her under water, and broken in her deck and sides, as stated by her crew, causing her to leak badly. It is possible that the leak might have been stopped, 80 that she could have been taken into Eockport; but the. wind was in an opposite direction, her mainsail was useless, and, if she had run before the wind, she must have gone to sea, instead of making a harbor. That she was in a sinidng condition, and soon afterwards went down, being heavily loaded with stone, may well be inferred from the fact there is no evidence of her having been seen by any one since that night, although the place of the disaster was one where ves- sela are constantly passing. In The Rebecca, 1 B. & H. 347, Judge Betts held "that where a vessel injured by a collision is abandoned by her crew and afterwards lost, it is enough to prove that her con- dition at the time appeared to be desperate." Applying this rule to the present case, the libellants have established their right to recover the value of their vessel. "In comingto this conclusion I have attached little or no importance to the great mass of testimouy introduced into this case relating to con- versations with the crew of the sloop after the accident. This description of testimony, although of ten found in actions for collision, has in most cases been held by the court to be entitled to little weight in determining disputed questions of fact appertaining to the navigation of the respective vessels."

The defendants resist this motion, and deny that the plaintiffs can dismiss at ail, because by the record it appears that they have acquired rights by the defences they set up, as against these plaintififs, which would be prejudiced by the dismissal. It is needless, in our view of the case, to state the facts relied on by defendants to take the case out of the ordinary rule allow- ing a plaintiff to dismiss at pleasure, because the plaintiffs do not ask to dismiss generally, but only without prejudice. It may be stated, however, that it is not claimed that any decree has been made whioh prevents a dismissal, but only that by the pleadings and the record it appears that certain defences have been made and peculiar circumstances exist which make it inequitable to allow a dismissal without a hearing on the merits, so that their rights may be declared and protected by proper decrees, both against the plaintiffs and as between the defendants themselves. The general proposition is laid down in the books that the plaintiff may move to dismiss his own bill, with costs, as a matter of course, at any time before decree. The ordinary form of the decree is that, "upon motion of the plaintiff he has leave to dismiss his bill upon payment of the costs," or that "upon payment of costs to be taxed the bill stand dismissed." 2 Hoff. Ch, Pr. Appdx. form No. 117; 1 Id. 828, note. It eeems to be a conditional order, and depends upon actual payment of costs to give it effect, unless the defendant chooses to treat the bill as dismissed, and takes steps to enforce it as a judgment for the costs. But what effect will be given to a decree dismissing a bill on plaintiff 's motion, when such decree is set up in bar of a subsequent suit for the same cause of action between the same parties, is not well settled. Babb v. Mackey, 10 Wis. 314, 371. It is because of this doubt, perhaps, that the plaintiffs here ask the extraordinary order that this voluniary dismissal shall be "without prejudice" to the bringing of another suit at law or equity concerning any of the matters involved herein. The only reason assigned for this form of decree is that, euch beiiig the effect of a voluntary dismissal,<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 2yrc00148zq4gvmytz5imae70qqfpcm Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/124 104 643573 15135030 8172426 2025-06-14T22:26:36Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, POBTER → PORTER, removed: � (8) 15135030 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>110 FEDERAL RSPORTER. to the defendant must be of a character that deprives hîm of some substantive rights concerning his defences not available in a second suit, or that may be endangered by the dismissal, and uot the mere ordinary inconveniences of double litigation, •which, in the eye of the law, would be compensated by costa.

While the state held on to the lands until it was fully indemnified for its claims, it insisted on nothing more — all else was the owners'. Strict forfeiture was waived, both by the state's extension of the time for payment and by acknowledging the right of the owner to any balance which might remain in the treasury. The title of the act may -well be referred to, to ascertain the purpose of tLe legislature. By that it is declared to be "An act giving further time to redeem lands forfeited to the state for the non-payment of taxes." Forfaiture and redemption cannot stand together. The moment a right to redeem was allowed, from that instant the forfeiture was at an end. This extension of the time for the payment of the taxes should have the same legal effect as if it had been by an amendment of former acts, in terms declaring that thereby the time for the payment of the taxes was estended. If the legislature had adopted that course to accomplish its purpose, it eould hardly admit of a question (whether the forfeiture had then attaohed or not) that by such extension of time the state had waived its title, and could aequire no title to the tract until after the time of extension had expired. As soon as chapter 65 took effect, the rights of the owners were re- stored to them. The legislature acknowledged them as hav- ing an interest in the property, as being its owners, subjeet to the lien of the state for the taxes due thereon, and by the act it provided very different provisions for depriving the owner of hia estate on failure to pay the taxes. If the land still continued the absolute property of the state, there would seem to be no propriety in the former owner having the power to call the state to an account for its disposai of the purchase money. If, on the contrary, the interest of the state was merely a lien for its taxes, then all that the state should require would be payment of its dues, and any surplus should enure to the owner's beneût.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 4xfhtpg0pxm0imw2ly3ccrzk5aj6nv0 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/142 104 643594 15135033 12096767 2025-06-14T22:26:39Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EEPO → REPO, EPOET → EPORT, ORTEB → ORTER, removed: � (7) 15135033 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>128 FEDBEAL REPORTER, title, "notwithetanding any irregnlarities in the notices, Oï failures to comply with the provisions of the acts under ■which the sales were made." Three of the deeds were exe- cuted before the passage of this act. Admitting that the state might waive any rights it might have to insist on such irregularities, it cannot be, that, by such action on its part, it can divest the title which the owners had at the date of the passage of the act. If these conveyances were invalid, by reason of these defects, and the owners still retained the title to their lands, the legislature could not, by any act it might pass, deprive them of their property. So far as the interests of the owners were involved, the act was null and void. The supreme court of Massachusetts, in Slocum v. City qf Boston, October, 1880, Suffolk county, have passed upon an act of the legislature of that state similar to that now under consideration and adjudged it to be unconstitutional. That court had previously decided that certain advertisements of the coUector of Boston, of sales of lands for taxes, were not in conformity with the requirements of the statutes. There- upon, in 1878, the legislature passed an act "that no sale of land for taxes heretof ore made should be beld invalid by rea- son of such defectin the advertisements," and the validity of this latter act was the question before the court in Slocum's Case. Buch legislation did not receive the sanction of that court ; by it an owner was not deprived of his estate ; the sale was still invalid, notwith standing the legislature's attempt to remedy the defect ; and this decision is an express authority against the validity of chapter 172, so far as the title of the owners of the lots is involved. The last deed was executed subsequent to the passage of the act, but most of the objec- tions which are sustained by the court are alike applicable to ail the deeds, and are not dependent on irregularities in the notice, or failures to comply with the provisions of the acts under which the sales were made. In Raymond v. Longworth, 14 How. 76, 78, the supreme court lay down the rule "that it is the duty of the federal courts to follow the decisions of the state courts on state laws regulating proceedings in cases of tax sales."<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ajgtoavmf0ksp6xyehsk7hqj1rg3xr4 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/152 104 643605 15135034 8172457 2025-06-14T22:26:40Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EEPO → REPO, TEB. → TER., REPOETER → REPORTER, removed: � (6) 15135034 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>138 FEDBEAL REPORTER. clearly seems to be the opinion of the supreme court of the United States, that the owner of property bas the right to provide that his estate may be held in such a way that his children may receive the rents and profits of it during their lives, so as to not go to the benefit of creditors, if his children are inaprovident or unfortunate, It seems clear to my mind that was the purpose of the testator in this case. It is true that he does not make use of the language employed in some of the wills which have corne under the cognizance and exam- ination of the court, where they have declared that the prop- erty is to be held free from creditors ; but I think language equally explicit bas been used in this clause of the will to ehow that was the intention of the testator. Looking at the general scope of the provisions that he made in relation to his children, this is manifest. For instance, he provides that certain portions of his estate shall be conveyed to trus- tees, so that one-half which he intends for the benefit of his children shall be conveyed to them absolutely, in fee, to be disposed of as they may see lit, thus giving them the absolute control over one-half of the estate which he directed to be held and enjoyed by his children. As to the other half, the will says that should be held in such a way that his children, during their lives, should not have control over it. The trus- tee is to hold it for the use and benefit of eaoh child during his or her life, and then it was to descend tO his or her hoirs, without any power during ail this time, or right on the part of said child, to encumber the estate or anticipate the rents thereof. The object seemed to be to deprive the child of any power over the estate. It was to be held by the trustee. The child had no right to encumber the estate, or even to anticipate the rents accruing from it. And then, again, as if to render it perfectly clear, this additional clause is inserted: "The trus- tee shall collect said rents, and, after paying taxes, Insurance, and keeping the property in repair, pay the rent to the child in person." My opinion is that, under this clause of the will, and under the deed of trust which the trustee has, and by which he holds the property in controversy in this case, he<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> mb2niwvqu7p5dvv3ejb83grqhijmlbt Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/162 104 643615 15135035 8172469 2025-06-14T22:26:41Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: KEPORT → REPORT, removed: � (14) 15135035 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>"148 FEDEEAti REPORTER.

This case cornes before the court upon a motion for a preliminary iûjunction to restrain the defendant from making and selling certain forms of lemon squeezers, npon the ground that they infringe upon a patent for an improvement in lemon squeezers issued to Josephine P. Fan- ning and Isaac Williams, as assignees of the defendant John Panning, dated July X5, 1879, and numbered 217,619. The plaintiff' s patent was originally issued upon the appli- cation of the defendant and his oath that he believed himself to be the original and first inventer of the improvenient described in the patent issued in accordance with such appli- cation, Subsequently Josephine P. Fanning assigned her one-half interest in the patent to the plaintiff. Therôafter Isaac Williams assigned to the plaintiff the undivided third part of his interest in the patent. Williams, having refused to join as complainant in the bill, has been made a defend- ant ; but John Panning alone is charged with having infringed the patent. There is no controversy in regard to the description of the machines which the defendant John Fanning is making.

" Section 2683 : "When the insurance is made for a speci- fied length of time, the implied warranty is not complied with unless the ship be seaworthy at the commencement of every voyage she may undertake during that time." The policy in this case contains the following clause : " Thir- teenth. It is hereby further agreed by and between the assured and insurers that the provisions of the Civil Code of Califor- nia shall be conolusive and binding as regarding the warranty of seaworthiness, liability of insurers in case of prior, subse- quent, or simultaneous insurance, and such other questions as are therein legislated upon and not otherwise provided for in this policy." The provisions of the Code thus became doubly obligatory upon the parties. In the great case of Gihson v. Small, i House of Lords Cases, 353, it was finally settled, by the law of England, that on a time policy effected on a vessel then at sea there is no implied condition that the ship should be seaworthy on the day when the policy attached. Whether, in a time policy, there is not an implied warranty of seaworthiness at the commencement of the risk, so far as it is in the owner's power to effect it, and whether, where several voyages are contemplated, the owner is not bound to exercise reasonable care and pains to repair any damages the vessel may have sustained, and to put her in a seaworthy condition before commencing a new voyage, was not decided. Even if it be considered that in such cases there is no tech- nical warranty of seaworthiness, yet, if the ship should come into a port in a damaged condition before or after the commencement of the risk, and the owner or his agents neg- lect to make reasonable and practioable repairs, and the ves- sel be lost in consequence, it would seem that policy, liu- manity, and due regard for the rights of shippers should forbid a recovery by the owner from the insurers for a los-i attributable to the insufficiency of the ship.

The -defendant does not dispute either of the items claimed in the present suit, but the controversy between the parties ia upon the defendant's right to a set-oflf of the sum of $317.22, paid by him to the master of the Castalia for demarrage at Weeha'wken, together with the expenses of counsel. On the arrivai of the Castalia at this port a libel was liled by her master against her cargo of coal, claiming damages in the nature of demurrage. The cargo was seized by the marshal, and af terw'ards bondcd by the defendant. Seasonable notice of the libel was given to the plaintiffs by the defendant, and they were requested by him to give instructions as to the matter, to which they replied, "they had no advice to give." The defendant notified them that he should hold them chargeable, and that they were bound to indemuify him from such suit, but they did not appear in defence of the cause, or in any way render any aid to the defendant. The case went to trial in the district court, and after a fuU hearing that court decreed to the libellant the sum of $260 as damages, on account of the improper detention of said vessel, together with the costs, which amount was subse^uently paid by this defendant. The judgment of the district court in that suit was not only conclusive upon the defendant, but also upon the plain- tiffs in this suit, both as to the validity of the claim there presented and the amount of damages. This is fully settled by the supreme court of the United States in Robbins v. T^^e City of Chicago, 4 Wall. 657. The only remaining question îs whether the plaintiffs are bound to indemnify the defendant against the claim of the ship, by roason of the cargo being subjected to this liability through their fault. The bargain for the coal was made wholly by telegraph and letter. Quite a number of such communications passed be- tween the parties on the sixteenth and seventeenth of February, and it is, sufficient to say that the resuit was, that on the 17th a bargain was coneluded between them, by which the plaintiffs sold and the defendant purchased the cargo, the same to be loaded before the 20th.

This action is brought to recover the valae of a certain quantity of lumber destroyed bj fire, charged to have originated from sparks proceeding from the defendant's Bhingle mill in a dry time and during a high wind. The case came on for trial at the June term, 1878, and was tried by a jury. The plaintiff, among other things, to sustain bis action, which was grounded upon the defendant's negli- gence, introduced a written contract, of which the foUowing is a copy : "It is hereby agreed by and between A. F. Dodge, of the city of Stevens Point, in the county of Portage, and state of Wisconsin, and William J, Clifford, of the same place, that said Dodge shall work and operate, during the mUling season of 1879, a certain shingle mill situate in the city of Stevens Point, which mill is now in the possession and under the con- trol of said Clifford, and shall manufacture shingles from logs to be furnisbed by said Clifford as hereinafter stated.

I&OÛ, nugatory. U. S. v. Randall, 1 Deady, 524, 548. Tet, Btrange to say, the act of June 8, 1872, (17 St. 282,) substi- tutes this woxà felony for the phrase in the act of 1865 which was thus condemned, because it limited the right of peremp- tory challenges to cases of felony, and therebyleft it impossi- ble to determine under the actof 1865 to what cases it should apply. Perhaps a proper construction of the act of March 3, 1865, taken in connection with the law asitthen stood under the decision in the case of United States v. Shackleford, supra, and the act of 1840, wonld have been to look to the state practice to determine in what cases the right of peremptory challenge "now exiats," and to allow 10 challenges in all such cases; for the state practice then furnished not only the rule as to number, but the rule as to the kind of offence in which the right of peremptory challenge existed, as we have already seen. There would have been some certainty in this, but now there is no other course but to determine by the oommon law what congress meant in this section of the Revised Statutes by the words "any other felony." If congress uses a common- law term in defining a crime, or in any statute, we must look to the common law for a definition of the term used. 2 Abb. Pr. 171; Conk, Treatise, 178, (5th Ed.;) U. S. v.

The Massachusetts Code commissioners, many years ago, in enumerating /cZimes within the provisions of their Code, in a note, add that the meaning "of the word 'felony' (as by them defined) is limited to the use of the word in this Code, and is not to be confounded with the common-law signification of the same term, whatever that meaning may be, for it is a matter of no little difficulty to settle it."

This has been changed by statute, and now, where a felony is created and no punishment prescribed, it is transportation for seven years, or imprisonment, with or without hard labor, not exceedingtwo years; and for a second felony, transporta- tion for life. 7 and 8 Geo.

Tested by the common law, then, this term has no very exact and determinate meaning, and can apply to no cases in this country except treason, where limited forfeiture of estate is allowed. But technically that is a crime of a higher grade than felony, although it imports also felony. If it be conceded that capital punishment imports a felony, there can be none, at common law, except capital crimes. But that test is untechnical and founded in error. It does not always ap- ply, and it is as arbitrary to say that a crime punished capi- tally is a felony, as it is to say that one punished by impris- onment in the penitentiary ia a felony. Our aneestors brought with them the common-law gradations of crime, as they stood in their day, and although they organized a gov- ernment which is wholiy destitute of a criminal common law, its influence bas always prevailed to producd incongruities arising out of an attempt, even when creating new offences, unknown to any law except our own peouliar system, to keep up its gradations of crime.

Section 5391 of the Eevised Statutes is lim- itçd to ; offences committed in places ceded to the United States, and adopta the state law as to such offences if not otherwise provided for;, and of course, in such cases, if the offence is a felony by state law, it becomes a felony by this section. There is no uniformity in the legislation of congress as to the punishment of criminal offences, and we often find statu- tory misdemeanors punished more severely than statutory felonies ; and while some of the statutes prescribe hard labor as a part of the punishment, when necessarily the confine- ment must be in some prison where it can be so enforced, on the Other hand the simple imprisonment prescribed may become idonfînement with hard labor byseleetinga prison whereitisa part (îf the discipline ; so that we often find prisoners convioted of the same offence, and sentenced to the same punishment^ un- : . dergoingin fact different punishments.

But, aside from this, nothing is better settled than thatwe cannot look to the state làws, in the criminal jurisprudence of the United states, for the oharacteristic elements whichgo to make up an offence, and enter into it as a part of its legal statm; nor to the common law; nor even to the character of the punishment.

The liens of judgments depend very much, in fact, I may say exclusively, in a case at law, upon the particular legislation of each state. In some of the states we know that a lien of a judgment operates from the first day of the term when the judgment is rendered. In some states it operates from the last day of the term when the judgment is rendered. In other states it operates from the time the judgment is rendered, irrespeotive of the first and last days of the term. In this case there is an express statute upon the subject, and, as I understand, the supreme court of this state has held that administrator's bonds are within the terms of this law, and that a lien upon such a judgment relates back to the time the suit was commenced. Then there was an inehoate lien on the 27th d.ay of April, on the property of the bankrupt, which became consummated by relation when the judgment was rendered, and it cat off, therefore, any claim which the assignee might have on the bankrupt's property which related back to a time subsequent to that of the commencement of the suit. It is insisted with a great deal of force, on the part of counsel, that it has been decided in Ira re Joslyn, 2 Biss. 235, that the lien of a landlord, which he acquires by virtue of a distress warrant, is similar to that acquired by this judg- ment crediter, and that the same principle which operates upon a lien of attachment and destroys it, also operates upon the lien of the judgment. That case was decided under the peculiar legislation of Illinois in relation to proceedings by landlords to enf orce their rights against tenants. It required that when a distress warrant should issue and seize the prop- erty, that there should be a suit, or an inquiry by the court, as to the amount due ; and what was found due was in the nature of a judgment, on which execution could issue against<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 31vu4yj9bdxntnuxlrsv0p8cu9x3y1j Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/236 104 643694 15135045 8172548 2025-06-14T22:26:50Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (6) 15135045 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>222 FEDERAL REPORTER. and boit, G, the whole being constructed and arrangea sub- Btantially as specified." It will be observed, the words are "constructed and arrangea." I am inclined to think there may be an infringement, and this may be a valid claim, independent of what is set forth in the specifications, as he describes the invention, "firBtly,"and in the first claim, without its possessing the rooking motion ; and, therefore, that the view which the plaintiflf's counsel take of the construction of the patent is correct. I have already called attention to the manner in which the inventor divides his invention into two parts — First, so that the sole can accomodate itself to the periphery of the wheel ; and, secondly, the peculiar combination of the two parts of the shoe, the devis by which the shoe is suspended upon the truck, and the boit which secures the devis to the shoe, and the two parts to oach other; and also to that part of the specification in which he says that the difficulties which have heretofore existed are avoided because of the shoe having this lateral rocking motion. He then says his invention or device has another improvement, and that consists in what he describes "secondly" as his invention, in the first part of his specification: the peculiarly simple arrangement of the devis which supports the shoe; the boit. G, serving the purpose of Connecting the «levis with the shoe, and the latter to the sole. Whether or not the combination of the second claim contains, as an essen- tial element, this lateral rocking motion, in order to make it a valid claim, and whether it must be found in an infringing machine, is the question. If this rocking motion was ail that was in the mind of the inventor, I think it may be asked, •with a good deal of significance, what was the necessity of his dividing his inventions into two parts, as he did in his specification, and also in the claims. He may bave had in his mind that the device which he was describing was con- structed in the way which he has specified; but still he claims a combination, which he describes in his second claim, and I think it may be a valid combination, iiidependent of the lateral rocking motion, which he speaks of in the first claim, and in varions parts of the specification.

It appears that he, together with several other colored boys, were induced by a colored man in Wash- ington to leave their homes and come with him to Baltimore, and were there taken by him to the office of a man who pro- cures seamen for oyster vessels, where, the respondent Lewis being present, they signed shipping articles to serve Lewis during the oyster season at seven dollars per month on any vessel he should designate. They received seven dollars apieee advance, which was taken by the man who shipped them, and then they went at once aboard the schooner Thomas W.

Lewis employed the schooner in connection with two other oyster vessels on the Chesapeake, each taking its turn to bring the whole catch of oysters to Baltimore, and the other two remaining to continue dredging.

A etatute of New York is referred to prohibiting vessels from running along the piers on the East river at a speed exceed- ing 10 miles an hour, as if this justified the City Point in the speed she kept up. But imposing a penalty for exceeding 10 miles by no means makes any less speed prudent. The speed must be regulated by the dangers attending the navigation under the particular eircumstances of the case. There was no reason for the City Point keeping so close to the piers except her own convenienee to make the shortest run to her next landing. If she chose to go so close in, she was bound to proceed with the more caution, and in such a way that she could check her headway easUy, for she was constantly liable to have her course crossed by other vessels proceeding slowly out of the docks and on her starboard hand. Upon the whole case, it is clear that the collision was caused solely by the gross carelessness and mismanagement of those in charge of the City Point.

BANK V. CITÏ OF SPKINGFIELD. £79 The whole scope of the law shows that this special body was a part of the muûicipality of Springfield, although independ- ent of its functions and power. By the eighth section of the act these commissioners thus created had authority to borrow money if the city council should deem it expedient; but they had not the right to borrow independent of the city council. Money was to be borrowed upon the credit of the city. They ■were to have power also, with the approval of the city coun- cil, to issue bonds, pledging the faith and credit of the city for tbeir payment, principal and interest. These bonds were to be issued under the corporate seal of the city, signed by the mayor and clerk, and made payable at such places, and in such currency, as they should deem expedient; and such bonds were not to be issued until the city council should ap- prove of their issue by a vote of a majority of all the aldermen by law authorized to be elected. Now, it olearly appears, from these provisions of the stat- ute, that although there was a separate corporate body cre- ated by this law, called the water commissioners, in relation to the issue of bonds they had not authority of themselves, but must aot in co-operation and in connection with the city. They could not take a step without the authority of the city, and the bonds, when issued, were to be issued under the sig- natures of the mayor and clerk, and the seal of the city, as well as on its credit. Now, it would be a contradiction in terms to say that when all these requisites of the law are complied with, as they hav-e been in- this case, these were not the bonds of the city, and that this was not a legal obligation of the city of Springfield, because the water commissioners co-operated with the city authorities in the issue of the bonds. But the statute provided that the funds derived from the sale of the bonds were to be exclusively used for the purposes specified in this act, namely: for the creation and continu- ance of the water -works which were to supply the city with water. And the law also provided that the comnaissionera should have power from time to time to assess the amounts to be paid for water, and the water rents were to be a lien upon the buildings supplied with water, which water rents<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> l5o8a8ncpswafzoi10rik97nq2b329k Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/295 104 643758 15135052 14592529 2025-06-14T22:26:57Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, removed: � (6) 15135052 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>PORTSMOUTH SAV.

It does not say that they shall borrow naoney for this purpose or that only. The clear, reasonable construction of the charter is that the city authorities shall have the right to borrow money for any legitimate purpose, in connection with the authority vested in them by the charter itself. Therefore, I can have no doubt that it was perfectly proper for the authorities to expeud money, and to borrow for the purpose of paying for such expenditures; as, for instance, building a Bchool-house of any grade, or making sewers, for such purposes are certainly within the ordinary municipal duties of a city council. The fact that the charter authorizes the city to impose taxes for the construction of school-houses, or sewers, or for the improvement of streets, does not take away the powers of the city also to borrow money for those purposes, and the power to issue bonds still exists, notwith standing the right to impose taxes for the pur- pose of building a school-house or constructing sewers. As to the railroad bonds, I do not see how their validity can be successfully contested. There was authority given to make the subscription, and it was made, and bonds were issued and stock obtained, and, in some instances, voted for, as the proof shows. And as to the necessity, in some of the cases, for a vote by the people in respect to the re-issue of bonds, I do not see that that was necessary, for, it being once admitted that the city authorities had the power to issue these bonds, that, undoubtedly, carried with it the authority to renew the bonds, or to take them np and supply their place with other bonds ; and I do not think it can be expected that those -who took bonds under such circumstances — that is, re-issued bonds — can be required to look into ail the details connected with the manner in which the old bonds had been taken up and the new ones issued. It may be that there were irregularities connected with the issue of new bonds.

It is Baid, nevertheless, that the act of 1868, which author- izea the counties to take stock in railroads, was wholly void, bficause this railroad was not organized according to the law as it then stood; but that act of 1868 was a continuing act — •was not made with reference to this. There were railroad corporations then in existence to -whom it might apply, and it would apply to any future railroad corporation properly organized. Therefore, that act of 1868 authorized the county of Pueblo to subscribe to the stock of a railroad properly or- ganized in 1873; as it did at the time, 1874. I think, therefore, ail the objections taken to the bonds on account of the invalidity of the subscription are ineffectuai ; and as that is the only question, the demurrer will be sus- tained, and plea held bad.

Sdd, that a merchant who did not have property enough to pay his debts, and who invested a material portion of his assets in cotton and shipped it out of the state, was liable to attachment under this statute ; that the plaintifE did not have to show the removal was made for a fraudulent purpose ; and that the fact that the shipments of cotton out of the state were usual and customary with the defendant and with merchants generally doing business in the state, constituted no de- fence to the attachment. Attachment. The plaintiff sued out an attachment against the property of'the defendant. The affidavit for the attachment wasbased on the sixth subdivision of section 388, Gantt's Digest, which declares the plaintiff may have an attachment against his debtor who "is about to remove, or has removed, his prop- erty, or a material part thereof, out of this state, not leaving enough therein to satisfy the plaintiff's claim, or the claim of said defendant's creditors." The defendant filed an affidavit denying the grounds of attachment. On the trial of this issue it was shown that the defendant was a retail merchant, doing business at Arkadel- phia, in this state; that at and before the time the attach- ment was sued out he was insolvent, and wholly unable to pay his debts; that his property consisted chiefly, if not alto-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> d6mvuuq6wnindhohzmrawiyiornydzu Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/314 104 643778 15135056 8172630 2025-06-14T22:27:01Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EDERAIi → EDERAL , EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, TEB. → TER., removed: � (8) 15135056 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>300 , J-EDERAL REPORTER. in terms required to be made before entry. Authorities are numerous that the party condetnning may, thus enter even where no right is given by the charter to the owner to ini- tiate proceedings for assessment of damages. But I think the facts in this case, aside from the law as laid down, show a waiver of payment in advanee of the entry and construction of the road by Edward Schriber, the owner, and his heirs. The route of the Northern Pacific Eailroad Company was finally located over the locus in quo November 21, 1871. Edward Schriber purchased it in the month of January previous from the government. The railroad was constructed in the summer of 1872. There was no person Jiving upon the premises at the time, and it was uncultivated. The land being vacant at the time of entry by the plaintiff, on the definite location of the route, and the owner residing in the state of Pennsylvania, would not the clause in the company's charter, which authorizes it to enter upon vacant and unoccupied land, justify the entry? But conceding it would not, yet, when the entry was made, and the road in operation, an acquiescence for the shortest period is sufficient to warrant a belief that the owner intends to waive ail claims except, perhaps, for the damages, which could be assessed as well after as before entry. Certainly the earliest notification to the Company, according to the averments of the answer, was long after the construction by the plaintifif of its road over the land, and, though it is alleged in the answer that neither Edward Schriber in his life-time, nor his heirs, knew until 1873 that the plaintiff had constructed its road over this land, still, up to the time of the conveyance of their interest in the strip which crosses th« Northern Pacific Eail- road, in 1880, they only notified the plaintiff that they held it responsible for the trespass and use of the land, and have never commenced any proceedings to assert their rights. The plaintiff has been in possession of the land since No- vember, 1871, and operating its road since 1872. Under such circumstances a license is implied.

Bwom to by E. B. Angus, which was read on the hearing of the original application for injunction, purports to give in some detail what these representations were, and he says H. E. Sargent, the plaintiff's general manager, knew that the defendants intended to cross plaintiff's line, and made no objection to the manner or the point at which said crossing ■was to be made, but at bis own request was furnished by the defendants' chief engineer with a description of said proposed crossing, and a diagram and model of a frog whioh would be required at said point, and that said Sargent then agreed and promised to construct said frog at the shops of said plaintiff at Brainerd, in this state. The affidavits of the president and secretary of the Com- pany, and of the general manager, denying any consent to the intended crossing, are read in reply, and a copy of a letter ■written by one of the defendants, Stickney, superintendent of construction of the Bamesville & Moorhead Eailroad, dated September 3, 1880, and addressed to H. E. Sargent, general manager of the Northern Pacific Eailroad, is also produeed, purporting to enclose a tracing of the proposed crossing, with a request that the crossing frogs should be made at the plain- tiff's shops and charged to the BarnesviUe & Moorhead Eail- road Company; also a copy of a letter, dated September 9, 1880, addressed to J. J. ïïill, general manager of the St. Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba Eailway, and one of the principal officers of the BarnesviUe & Moorhead Eailroad Company, by Sargent, stating that in the matter of the BarnesviUe & Moor- head line crossing the Northern Pacific near Moorhead, "I am direeted to forbid your doing so, or entering the Northern Pacific Eailroad Company's right of way, which is a strip 200 feet wide on eaeh side of the main track." This was certainly a formai revocation of any paroi license to enter upon the Northern Pacific track or right of way, con- ceding that consent or license was given, which is very doubt- ful. Again, the power of the general manager of the North- ern Pacific Eailroad to bind the company in a matter of this kind is not clear, but if he could grant such license, as is claimed by defendants, still the law is well settled that a<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> r232phil90t2ekpnjgkccpq6r778u4k Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/320 104 643784 15135058 8172637 2025-06-14T22:27:03Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDBB → FEDER, POBT → PORT, removed: � (7) 15135058 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>806 FEDERAL ££PORT£B.

There would seem to be a distinction industriously made, in the section, between originals and copies. If copies had been intended to be placed in the same category with originals, the words "or copies of any such depositions, warrants, or other papers" would naturally have been inserted after the words "or other papers," where the latter words first occui ; and the portion of the section after the word "escaped," to and including the word "evidence," would have been omitted. The inference is that a different meaning may be looked for in the expression "properly and legally authenticated, so as to entitle them to be received as evidence of the criminality of the person so apprehended, by the tribunals of the foreign country from whioh the accused party shall have escaped," from that which is to be looked for in the expression "authen- ticated according to the law of such foreign country."

It is further objected that no decree should be made against them, because they claim that the assignment was void under the laws of New York, and, there- fore, whether it was voidable under the bankrupt law or not, there was left in the bankrupt a title which, under the lawsof New York, could be reached by the levy of execution. And the particular grounds on which it is claimed that it was thus void are that at the time of the levy of the executions no schedules had been filed, and no bond given by the assignee ; that this last question of the validity of the assignment under the laws of New York is one which cannot be tried in this suit, but must be tried in a suit between the state assignee and the sheriff, which suit had been commenced before this suit was commenced. It is further insisted that this case is distinguishable from the case of In re Biesenthal in this respect : that in that case the property in question on which a levy had been made, part of the assigned property, had not been sold by the sher- iff, but was afterwards Bold, by consent of the parties in the suit, to set aside the assignment, and the proceeds deposited in the registry of the court to abide the decision of the court in that suit as to the rights of the parties; so that there waa a fund in court in respect to which the court had jurisdiction to determine ail rights, or that the execution creditors were parties claiming a lien and interest adverse to the complain- ant in respect to the very property in controversy between the assignee in bankruptcy and the state assignee in the suit brought to set aside the assignment. Whereas, in the pres- ent case, the question between the assignee in bankruptcy and the execution creditors relates, not to any specifie prop- erty, part of the assigned estate, or to any proceeds of it traced and identified as such, but his claim against them is merely for money damages.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> af2mr6n500dlwsb9f8y3lqdor7w1cbc Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/342 104 643807 15135061 8172661 2025-06-14T22:27:06Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PBD → FED, FEDEBA → FEDERA, DERAL BE → DERAL RE, POKTER → PORTER, removed: � (17) 15135061 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>828 FEDERAL REPORTER. that it is patented; but I do not find the plaintiffs'first claîm to be so narrow that a new mode of fastening, operatmg to do the TYork of their screws, would esoape it.

The plaintiff has put in evidence a certificate of extension •which states that on the petition of John Deuchfield for the extension of the patent granted to him April 20, 1858, and re-issued January 16, 1872, it is extended for seven years from April 20, 1872. An original patent is in evidence which was granted to John Denchfield, Apiil 20, 1858, for 14 years from that day; and there is no dispute that that is the patent which was surrendered when the re-issued patent to John Dewchfield was granted, and that no original patent was granted to John Dewchfield unless the one so granted to John Denchfield was one. The real name of the man was Dewch- field. The mistake was clearly one made in the patent office — a clerical and accidentai mistake in taking the letter n to be the letter u. The defendants did not, at any stage of the taking of the proofs in the cause, raise any question as to the identity of the person to whom the re-issue was granted with the original patentee, either when the documentary proofs were being put in or when the oral testimony was being taken. In the defendants proofs the questions to their witnesses, and the answers thereto, refer to the re-issue as having been granted to John Derechfield, and as having been granted to the same person to whom the patent of April 20, 1858, was granted. If the point had then been suggested doubtless the plaintiff would bave proved, in fact, the identity of John Deitchiield with John Denchfield. Such identity seems to bave been shown va. Herring v.

Sohnmacker & Co., doubtîng whether the Whictham côuld arrive in time, wanted a guaranty that she ■would, but this was declined. All parties then made their eal- culations as to the probable time of her arrivai upon the basis of the language in the telegram, and finally Schumaeker & Co. agreed to take her; first, however, providing that Bhe might be loaded in Philadelphia or Baltimore at their option, intending if she did not arrive in time for Baltimore to get her cargo under their contract at PHUadelphia. In these calcu- ïations it was assumed by all that she would get away from Benizaf not later than the second of August, and that her voyage across would probably be about 20 days. This all occurred at Baltimore on the first of August, and it does not appear from the evidence that any of the parties, either in Philadelphia or Baltimore, knew anything of the movements of the vessel except as they were to be inferred from the tel- egram. There was no communication with Benizaf by tele- graph, the nearest telegraphie station being at Gibraltar, which was a day's sail away. (5.) As soon as the bargain was concluded, Erickson sent to Gregg & Co. for a eharter-party in form. They imme- diately sent the draft of one in which the vessel was described as "sailed from or loading at Benizaf." This Schumaeker & Co. declined to accept on the ground that their agreement was for a vessel that "had sailed or was about to sail from Benizaf with cargo for Philadelphia." This being communi- cated to Gregg & Co. they at once sent forward a new draft to meet the wishes of Schumaeker & Co., and using the language they insisted upon. This new draft reached Balti- more on the second of August, and was duly executed by all parties. This is the instrument, a oopy of which is marked Exhibit A, and filed with the original libel. From this it appears that in the printed blank which was used there were the folio wing words: "Charterers to have option of cancel- ling this oharter-party should vessel not have arrived at load- ing port prier to ."

Bkown, D. J. This suit was removed under the second section of the act of March 3, 1875. This section proyides for the removal of suits between citizens of different statea in two classes of cases: First, cases in which there shall be a controversy between citizens of different states, in which case "either party" may remove the suit into the proper circuit court; second, cases in which there shall be a contro- versy "between citizens of different states, and which can be fully determined as between them," in which case "either one or: more of the plaintiffs or defendants actually interested in sueb iîontroversy may remove said suit to the circuit court of the United States." --• In construing the first clause of this section it bas been upiformly held that the words "either party" conrprehend all the individuals upon one side of the contfoversy, and that all Buch individual parties must unite in the petition. The Re- moval Cases, 100 U. S. 457; C. e St. L., etc., B. Ce. v. Ma- comb, 9 Eep. 569; Ruckman y. Palisade Land Co. 1 Fed. Eep. 367; In re Fraser's Estate, 6 Eep. 357; National Bank v. Dodge, 25 Int. Eev. Eec. 304. ' These decisions were a mere application to the actof 1875 of the rule which had obtained with reference to removal under previous açts. Under the judiciary act of 1789 it had been well established that all of the defendants must unite in- a petition for removal. Smith v. Bines, 2 Sum. 338 ; Beardsley v. Terrey, 4 Wash. 286; Ward v. Arredondo, 1 Paine, 410. The second clause of section 2, under which the removal of this case must be supported, if at ail, was undoubtedly in- tended to apply to a different class of cases from those men- tioned in the first clause; otherwise the firat clause is unnec- sary. The first clause, as well as the second, contemplates a controversy wholly between citizens of different states, and which can be fully determined as between them.

Ad- naissions under oath, made with a knowledge of tiie facts, are the very highest order of testimony and deserve great weight at your hands. You are to look to the admissions in the light of the Burrounding cireumstances ; to her condition men- tally ; to the nature and character of her means of informa- tion; to the fact that the document is a legal proceeding, drawQ by a lawyer and read over to her by him ; to the es- tent of her understanding of the language used; to the object and character of the petition itself, and to every fact and cir- cumstance found in the proof adding strength to or detract- ing from the sworn statement, and say what weight you will give to it under all the circumstancea. Having thus weighed the admission, you will in the same -way look to the other proof in the case, weigh it in the same manner, and say whether the facts be as the plaintifif now claims them to be, or as the defendant says they are. If you find that Behr, the deceased, was, at the time he took out the policy, addicted to the use of ardent spirits, the plaintiff cannot recover; or, if you find that he subsequently acquired the habit of intem- perance, so as to impair his health or produce delirium tre- mens, she cannot recover." The court also refused to give the foUowing charges asked by the defendant company, viz. : "Ordinarily, a party having made a sworn statement of facts in the course of a judicial proceeding, (as, for instance, such a statement as is made in the petition for divorce filed by Mrs. Behr, and given in evidence in this case,) is absolutely bound by such statement, and estopped from showing that such statement was not true. This doctrine has its foundation in the obligation under which every person is placed to speak and act according to the truth, and in the policy of the law to suppress the mischief s that would arise if men were per- mitted to deny that which, by their solemn and deliberate acts, they bave declared to be true. The conclusive effect of such statements can only be obviated by clear proof that they were made inconsiderately or by mistake.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> eyj50fxsgbo1jbec4dutn86wx1sdo0o Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/376 104 643842 15135066 12964699 2025-06-14T22:27:11Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EBPO → REPO, POBT → PORT, REPORTEE → REPORTER, removed: � (9) 15135066 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>363 FEDERAL REPORTER. take. The court may comment on the facts to aid the jury in reaching a just conclusion, but should be careful, in doing so, not to assume to decide the matter of fact itself. Farm- ers' Bank v. Harris, 2 Humph. 311 ; Burdell v. Denig, 92 U. S. 716; Life Ins. Co. v. Baker, 94 U. S. CIO. The charge refused overlooks the proof for the plaintiff, and, calling the attention of the jury to the strong features in the defendant's favor, asks the court to say to the jury that there was deliberation in making the statement, and no inad- vertence or mistake. It is not competent for the court, where there is evidence tending to prove the entire issue, although it is conflicting, to give an instruction -which shall take from the jury the right of weighing the evidence and determining its force and effect. Weightman v. Washington City, 1 Black. 39, 49 ; Greenleafy. Birth, 9 Pet. 292; Crane v. Morris, 6 Pet. 698, at p. 617; Lucas v. Brooks, 18 Wall. 436. It is very difScult in some cases to determine whether an instruction is on the facts or the law of a case, and its cor- rectnesa must depend on the phraseology used; but where the jury is instructed as to what their verdict shall be on the particular point, it is a direction on the effect that they shall give to the evidence. Tracey v. Swarto.ut, 10 Pet. 80. A careful reconsideration of this charge strengthens the conviction I entertained at the time it was refused, that it is a partial statement of the facts, accompanied with an expres- sion of opinion by the court as to the effect of those partic- ular facts upon the general fact in dispute — namely, whether Mrs. Behr made her statement under oath deliberately, and without inadvertence or mistake. The charge was therefore properly refused. The other errors assigned proceed upon the theory that the petition for divorce was an estoppel, and the court erred in not saying so to the jury. Undoubtedly the supreme court of Tennessee, in Hamilton v. Zimmerman, 5 Sneed, 40, 47, calls the principle which concludes a party by bis sworn statement erroneously, I think, when applied< to a case like this, an estoppel; and the subsequent cases, foUowing the language of that case, continue, to call it so.

This is all that the cases cited mean, in my opin- ion, a-nd all else that is claimed for them is based upon an inference drawn from the use of the word "estoppel." I have found none, and doubt if any cases elsewhere will support the doctrine that a man is ever bound by a false oath so that he cannot show the truth as between himself ànd others who are strangers, and have been neither injured nor prejudiced by the original f alsehood. The genoral rule elsewhere is not in accordance with the Tennessee cases. 1 Greenl. Ev. §§ 210-212. But in the charge I gave to the jury I have followed the cases strictlyin ail except calling the principle enunciated an estoppel. It is immateidal by which name it is called, perhapSj, but more was sought to be implied, fçopa the word than the cases them.- selves justified, andit seemed to me necessary to. diso.ard it as misleading. In, vie^^ of what was actually said to the jury on the Bubject, it seems to me that no error was committed of whic.h: the defendant can complain. : Thç factthat the jury were told that they could not lookto the proof at large unless they acquitted the plaintiff of any intentional and wilful false swearing, it is argued, called for a trial as if upon an indictment for perjury, and the jury were led to believe that they would, by finding against her. substantially fasten upon her the odium of perjury or false swearing, and were thereby led to prejudice the defendant's case by giving more effect to the plaintiff 's proof than they should have done, and less to that of the defendant than they would have done if they had been told that they must simply determine whether she had made the oath deliberately and> with full knowledge of the facts, or under circumstances showing that she made it inadvertently or by mistake. There is much force in this objection to the charge, and it illustrates the inconvenience of applying the analogy of estop- pel to the mere process of weighing testimony. The cases cited all show that there is a preliminary question to be tried, namely, whether there was an innocent mistake made.

This case îs before the court on a writ of error, allowed under the provisions of the act of March 3, 1879, (20 U. S. St. at Large, 364.) The record states that, on a trial on a plea of not guilty of the offences charged in the indictment, the defendant was found guilty of the offences charged in said indictment, and was sentenced for said offences to be imprisoned in the Albany county penitentiary for the term of one year, and to pay a fine of $250. The return io the writ, in addition to the record of judgment and the minutes of the trial, contains a bill of exceptions taken by the defendant. There is no assignment of errors, nor any statement of any exceptions .except Buch exceptions as are found in the bill of exceptions. There is no statement of any objection having been taken in the court below to the indictment, by demurrer or otherwise, either as to form or substance, or of any motion to quash it, orof any motion there in arrest of judgment. There is not, in the bill of exceptions, any statement of any question hav- ing been raised as to the indictment. Nevertheless, the defendant on this writ of errûr raises the question as to the Buffioiency of the indictment. He contends that the indict- ment charges no criminal act; thatitis not enough to allege an intent to defraud; that no facts are stated, which, if proved, will support the conclusion averred, that the deposit of the notice in the post-office was in pursuance of a scheme to defraud; that the notice and the letter are harmless and innocent if issued in good faith ; that it is not averred that the notice was not signed by A. B. Fritz & Co., or that A. B.

Sampson, re-issued in February, 1860, and, upon their expiration in July, 1872, they were extended for a further term of seven years. Of these letters patent the plaintiff, Mr. Proctor, became the owner by assignment, as well for the period cov- ered by the extension i s that for which they were originally issued. This patent, as you have leamed, îs for an improvement in pôle coupling for railroad cars, which is described by the in- ventor to consist in so applying or constructing the car pôle that it shall be sustained at the proper height to couple with the car bunter, and be self coupling at ail horizontal angles of presentation to which the pôle may be liable, and in so applying the pôle that its weight shall be sustained by the car, instead of bearing upon the horses, as iUustrated by the model here exhibited. What the inventor claims as his in- vention is — First, the method of applying the pôle so that it shall be in position to shackle when brought against the plat- form at any angle of presentation ; and, second, so applying the ^ole that it shaU be supported by the car instead of by the horses. The devices described are so simple, and so well illustrated by the model exhibited, as to require no comment from the court. The description and claim have been several times read, and the model exhibited and explained so fully, that I would but waste your time and our own by dwelling on this subject. This model, I repeat, exhibits in a form so sim- ple the claims of the plaintiflf that it is readily understood. [Taking the model in hand, the court pointed out its parts and explained it as foUows :] The first claim consists subatantially of the open jaw, which affords an opportunity of shackling and unshaoHing the pôle at any angle from the front or side, as you observe. I should say to you that the second claim consists substantially in this brace or pôle support, together with its rear connec- tion or support, as described in the patent.

The plaintifï's invention consisted in the combination of a paper dial, a back, — preter- ably of zinc, — and a metallic cap or frame or scalp, which Tinited the back and the dial. The function of the cap or frame or scalp, as correctly described by the plaintiiï's expert, was "to cover the edge of the dial by the inner edge of said frame, and hold the dial firmly against the back, so that its edge will not warp up or become displaced, while the outer edge of said frame is turned over and embraces the edge of the back, while the body of the scalp serves to unite these two edges, which I have described, and thereby the three parts, to-wit, the dial, the back, and the frame, are ail held together, and constitute, as a whole, a clock dial." The patentee, after referring to the drawings, which show the form of the frame and of back, which will be described here- after, says, in the re-issued specification, that the back may be made entirely flat, if desired. The dial may be made of the same diameter as the back, and the frame made plain and turned over the edges of the dial and the back, thus com- pressing them thoroughly together. When it is desired to make a moulding frame and back, the edge of the back is made nearly the shape of the frame. The dial B is made of Buch diameter as to just fill in between the raised portion from the flat surface of the back A. The frame or scalp G ia placed over the dial B, and the edge D turned over the edge of the back A, and pressed together, thus firmly compressing the edge of the dial between the inner edge of the frame C and back A. The claims of the re-issued patent were as follows : First. The combination of a metallic scalp, with a clock dial, substantially as and for the purpose described. Second.

The shape of the rim was determined by the shape of the back which might be desirable in any particular, style of clock, or as a matter of ornament. Flanges were not used, because they made a seat for attaching the dial to the case, but were used to conform to the old style of back, when that style, which had an old function of its own, was used. Given the two facts that a clock dial, with printed paper dial, a metallic back, and a metallic rim uniting the back and the paper dial, was old ; and that a metallic back, with a lateral outside flange, through which screws were inserted to fasten the dial to the clock case, was commonly in use ; was it any material part of the inven- tion to make the rimto correspond generally with the old pat- tern of the Back ? I am of opinion that it was not ; but that the shape of the rim was a matter merely of mechanical c&nveni- ence. The inside lateral flange bas the same offices which are performed by any edge of the rim, and the form is in the one which would be naturally adopted upon a sunken dial plate.

Since the decision in this case on the plea to the amended bill, it bas been stipulated in writing by the plaintiff that Edmund P. Woodbury would testify that the consideration paid for the conveyance of April 29, 1868, from Lombard & Thompson to Eussell, Eeese, and the firm of Strong & Wood- bury, (consisting of Henry A. Strong and Edmund F. Wood- bury,) was the sum of $4,000, in property and cash; and that the defendants respeetively would testify that they paid on the execution and delivery of the conveyance from Strong & Wood- bury, of December 10, 1869, to them, the sum of $1,000 in cash ; and that such stipulation be filed and made a part of the record, on the application for a rehearing, with the same effect as though such tëstimony had been regularly put in by the defendants originally. In the proofs, Edmund T. Woodbury testified that he nego- tiated with Lombard the purchase covered by the conveyance of April 29, 1868; that he never heard until the spring of 1877 of the two unrecorded instruments of August 27, 1S66; and that the only agreement between Hamilton and Lom- bard & Thompson, of which he had any information, prior to 1877, was the reoorded conveyance of August 27, 1866.

Bbnediot, D. J. This is an action for an account, and an injunction to restrain the defendant from making a certain form of dise nsed for valve seats in steam joints, upon the ground that such manufacture infringes a patent issued to Nathaniel Jenkins, August 3, 18G9, known as re-issue No. 8,579, and now owned by the plaintiiï. Varions issues are raised by the pleadings, of which it will be neeessary on this occasion only to consider the one relat- ing to the infringement. The character of the article complained of is not in dis- pute. It consists of dises intended to be used as valve seats for steam joints, composed of bone black, mixed with gutta percha and India rubber, made vulcanizable by an adœixture of sulphur, and then vulcaniaed; the proportions of the compound being either Para rubber, 10 Ibs. ; gutta percha, 5 Ibs.; sulphur, 4J Ibs.; bone black, 22| Ibs. Or, Para rub- ber, 14 Ibs. ; ^utta percha, 7 Ibs. ; sulphur, 6 Ibs. ; bone black, 28 Ibs. The main question of the case, as I view it, is whether Buch an article is covered by the Jenkins patent. The Jenkins patent was construed by this court on a former occasion, (16 Blatchf. C. G. B. 495,) and no reason is seen for any modification of the opinion then expressed, that it is not possible, in view of the language of the specifi- cations, to uphold the plaintiff's contention that the Jen- kins patent is for a packing composed of four-tenths of refrac- tory material, vulcanized, no matter what the vulcanized material may be, if it contained rubber; and that the patent must be considered to be limited to a compound consisting of at least four-tenths of refractory, earthy, or stony matter, mixed with rubber prepared for vulcanization by using less than 25 per cent, of sulphur and then vulcanized, whence results a material composed of 40 per cent, and over of re- fractory matter held togetber by a skeleton of soft rubber. So understanding the patent, I am at loss to discover any ground upon which to base the conclusion that the patent is infringed by a packing which consists of refractory matter lield together by a skeleton of vulcanite.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> g0qb0wzt48wyh4ezjd42s5do135ljzd Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/462 104 643937 15135081 8172793 2025-06-14T22:27:26Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, j' → y , EDEBAL → EDERAL , POBT → PORT, ORTBB → ORTER, KEPORT → REPORT, removed: � (6) 15135081 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>eeS FEDERAL REPORTER. both oylinders as required. By this means the ordinary work of the elevator can be accomplished by one of the cylinders, and when an extraordinary pressure is required both cylindera can be employed, thus providing an elevator that will anawer in any place and do its work -with great economy of water." The claims of this patent are two, as follows: "First, the upright cylinders, A A, with their piston, C C, each of said pistons being provided with an upright and rack bar, d, in combination with the shaft, I, with its epur-wheels, y j and Z, shaft, l, with its pinion, m, and driving puUy, N, whereby I am enabled to employ the pressure in either one or both cylinders for hoisting purposes, substantially as and for the purpose above descïibed; second, the upright rack bars, d, provided with the rib in combination with the guide spools, h, substantially as and for the purpose above described." The answer of the defendant admits that he bas made and sold hydràulic elevators construeted according to the descrip- tion in said patent No. 172,896. According to the testimony of defendant's expert, Mr. Eliot, patent No. 172,896 describes an arrangement of two working cylinders provided with suit- able pistons, one of the cylinders and pistons being placed inside of the other in such a manner as to economize room, and at the same time allow both of the pistons to be com- bined with a cross-head, which carries sheaves over which the lifting ropes of the elevator work; the combination and arrangement being such that one of the pistons, with its cor- responding cylinder, can be brought into immediate action to assist the lifting force of the other at the pleasure of the operator or attendant of the elevator. The same expert statea that the peculiar means by which such a resuit is accom- plished consists in making the main working piston in the form of a cylinder, and connecting its upper end immedi- ately with the cross-head that carries the sheaves, and also in Connecting with the said cross-head a piston which worka in an interior cylinder placed coneentric with the outer work- ing piston, and connecting with them a valve in such a man- ner that when the water pressure is brought to bear upon the<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> mdx9qlb6dycevrh8fhp3zr9f9iaszo3 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/472 104 643948 15135082 8172803 2025-06-14T22:27:27Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: oi the → of the , tho → the , FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, POBT → PORT, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (7) 15135082 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>458 FEDERAL REPORTEIÎ. & Schoenfeld have no interos'u; that bis commission îs de- pendent on the sales; that he hasmade the sales for the pur- pose of receiving the commission; and that he obtains the commission by making the sales. This is a distinct profit from any profits made by Loeb & Schoenfeld. The commis- sion to this defendant would not be included in any profits to be accounted for by Loeb & Schoenfeld, and such commis- sion is a direct profit to this defendant from the sale of the goods. Moreover, this defendant, although selling only under the circumstances set forth, is liable to be restrained in thig court, by an injunction, from selling the infringing goods, and this suit is properly brought against him for that pur- poov,. Thi3 court has obtained jurisdiction over his person. The plainiiff has a right to restrain the defendant, by injunc- tion, from participating, in the way set forth, in such sales, although a bill will also lie against Loeb & Schoenfeld to restrain them from participating, in the way they do, in the eame sales. Maliby v. Boto, 14 Blatchf. 63. As to the second branch of the plea, or the second plea, it follows, from the foregoing observations, that the peudency of the suit in Pennsylvania against Loeb & Schoenfeld is no bar to this suit. This defendant is not a defendant in that suit, and no injunction therein could be issued against him by name; and, although an injunction therein against the defendants therein might reach them for the acts of this defendant as an employe of theirs, yet, although he is an employe of theirs, in one sense, in what he does, he is inde- pcndent of them in the profit he makea by his commission on sales, although he may receive his commission through them out of the sale price, and it is proper that the plain- tiff shonld bave an independant injunction against him in this suit. Again, as beforo said, the bill in Pensylvania would not make the defendants therein account for the com- mission received by this defendant. This, therefore, is not the case of another suit pending between the same parties in another jurisdiction for the same subject-matter. The plea is overruled, with costs, and the defendant will be assigned to answer the bill.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 52a81p0db1vqz1rtwnwbl92mrkp57re Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/474 104 643950 15135083 8172805 2025-06-14T22:27:28Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EDEBAL → EDERAL , TEDERAL → FEDERAL, EEPO → REPO, EPOET → EPORT, removed: � (9) 15135083 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>460 FEDERAL REPORTEU. opinion and inferest among the owners in relation to the employment and management" of the tug alleged in the libel, and praying the court to prouounce against the libel. In the answer it is alleged "that said tug now is, and has been during the season of navigation of 1875, engaged in her usual employment in and about the port of Erie, " etc. Again, it is alleged "that the said tug is now, and has been during the entire season of navigation, employed and run for the joint interest and profit of the owners," etc. From the evidence now before the court it appears that the marshal did not arrest or take possession of the tug by virtue of said process. He was instructed by the libellant's proctors not to arrest her, but simply to serve a copy of tha writ upon Christian & Carse, and these instructions he obeyed. At the time the libel was filed the tug was in the possession of Christian, and she rema,ined in his possession as fully after the service of the writ &b, before; and down until May 12, 1877, the tug was run by Christian in and about the harbor of Erie, and upon the lake, in her ordinary business. Dur- ing ail this time no further step was taken in this suit. On the night of May 12, 1877, the libellant, Brennan, hav- ing obtained possession of the tug, ran her out of the harbor of Erie and took her to Bulïalo, New York; and there, on May 14, 1877, filed a libel in rem, in the United States district court for the northern district of New York, for the sale of the vessel and distribution of the proceeds among the owners. Thereupon process issued and the boat was seized by the marshal of said last-named district. No answer having been interposed, an interlocutory decree in that suit was entered, and a final decree for the sale of the tug was made on July 25, 1877. Subsequently, E. F. Christian moved that court for an order opening his default and permitting him to defend the action, and vacating the decree and subsequent proceed- ings, and for an order dismissing the suit, on the ground that, in consequence of a prior action pending, the court had no jurisdiction in the premises.

Unless taken into actual possession by an officer of the court, it might be eloigned before a deoree of condemnation could be made, and thus the decreei would be ineffectuai. It might corne into the possession of another court, and thus there might arise a conflict of jurisdiction and decision if actual seizure and retention of possession were not necessary to con- fer jurisdiction over the subject." In the present case it is certain that there was no actual seizure of the tug by the marshal under the original process issued out of this court. Acting in accordance with the express instructions of the libellant the marshal did not seize the tug, but, with the acquiesence of ail the parties in interest, she remained in the possession of Christian. Of this, I may here say, noue of the owners, under the circumstances of the case, bave any right to complain. But it is said that the marshal's retum shows an attach- ment of the vessel. I do not think so. True, the language of the retum is, "attached the steam-tug Anna P. Dorr." But how? "By serving a copy of this writ personally on John Carse, part owner pf same, and by serving, November 5, 1875, a copy of this writ at residence of Captain E. F. Chris- tian on wife." But such service of the writ was not an attachment or seizure of the vessel. The return, as a whole, does not import any seizure of the tug, and it is entirely consistent with the facts as they appear aliunde. It foUows, from what bas been said, that the order allow- ing the alias attachment in this case was errùneously made. Certainly that order would not have been made had the court been fully advised as to the facts, or had the proceedings in the United States district court for the northern district of New York been brought to its attention. And now, November 17, 1880, the aHas attachment is set aside; and it is ordered that the marshal deliver the said steam-tug Anna P. Dorr to L. B. Tortier; and it is further ordered and decreed that E. F.

Endeavoring to keep clear of both the difficulties above indicated, and intending to practi- cally apply the rules of the maritime law and the epirit of the precedents in our own courts of admiralty to which my attention has been called, I have concluded in this case to award to the salvors the sum of $2,500. With regard to the costs, although the claim of $40,000 made by the libellants was extravagant, and may have oper- ated oppressively upon the respondents, yet, under ail the circumstances of this case, and as it is not shown that any tender or offer of any definite sum was ever made to the libel- lants, I am not inclined to vary the usual rule.

In any of those ports the engines could have been repaired. Anchorage could bave been found at Watling's island, 248 miles distant, and at Little Bird rock, 326 miles distant. The Colon could have made any of those ports under sail. Aside from the brealdng of her machinery, she was entirely stout, staunch, and sea- worthy. About half an hour after the accident, the Colon was got under ail sail, and her master attempted to wear; but, her propeller not being disconnected, he was unable to do so, and she made headway to the southward about a knot and a half an hour, and drifted to the eastward at about the same rate. The prevailing winds at that season of the year, and in the vicinity where she was, were more favorable for her to proceed to New York, or to some northern port, than to a West India port. It would probably have taken her four- teen days to reach New York under sail alone. The master of the Colon was exceptionably competent, and had had a wide experience in steam-vessels. For 27 yeara he had navigated that part of the ocean through which the Colon's route lay. He had frequently tested the ability of the Colon to make headway under sail, and had found she •was entirely manageable with the wind on her beam or abaft the beam. These tests were made while the screw was con- nected with the shaft. The screw of the Colon was attaehed to the shaft in such a manner that it could be disconnected in less than two hours, and, when disconnected, it would revolve freely and would not interfere with the steering of the vessel. With the screw disconnected the vessel could sail within six points of the wind. At the time of the accident the weather was pleasant and the sea smooth, and the wind light from west-south-west. The part of the ocean where the Colon lay disabled was much frequented by both steam and sail vessels. Steamers running to and fro between New York and Aspinwall passed in the immediate vicinity. So did steamers from the Spanish main, bound to Cadiz and ports in Spain and France. So did sailing vessels bound to and from New Orleans, Mobile, and Havana.

Certain consignees of cargo on the Etna, whose goods had been damaged by the detention, filed petitions and became co-libellants. The dis- trict court decreed that they should recover the damages sus- tained by them, and that the Colon should pay the same in addition to the award of $10,000. The damages of these co-libellants were assessed, and, with the costs awarded to them, amounted to |2,200.28, and that sum has been paid by the owners of the Colon. A reasonable allowance to the. Etna for damage to her hawser is $75 ; for repairs to her deck and engine, $300; and for extra coal used, $125. The wear and tear of the engine of the Etna depended on the pressure of steam carried and the number of revolutions made. The cargo of the Colon was shipped under bills of lading which exempted her from liability arising from disasters or dangers of steam navigation. The damage to her engine resulted from a latent defect in the crank-shaft, which could not have been discovered by examination prior to the breakage. None of the officers or crew of the Etna left their vessel at any time to render assistance to the Colon. None of the passengers or property on board of the Colon were transferred to the Etna. The towing voyage to New York was without danger or anxiety. The Colon was equipped with eight sail-boats, large enough for ocean service, which could bave been sent, if necessary, to intercept steam vessels or to some port. The engineer's log of the Etna shows that there are entries in it as follows: "August 21st. Forward crank-pin and thrust heating." "Au- gust 22d. Still running water on the bearings." "August 28th, Bearings hard to keep cool." It was found that these entries were made nearly two years after the service was rendered and during the progress of the trial in the district court. The libellants endeavored, on the trial in the district court, to prove that they had sustained a loss of $2,300 in freight on account of the detention of the Etna. This claim was abandoned after considerable testimony in regard to it had been taken.

Complaint is made that the ship's company receive $750 more than the owners ûf the Etna ; that the ship's company were in the employ of suoh owners and paid by it, and did little work as compared with the Etna, and little increased work; and that the substantial service was rendered by the steamer, and not by individual exertions. It is also said that the meager character of the award to the vessel wi'U prevent owners of vessels from rendering salvage service; that the employes of the vessel are allowed to use the produot of the investment of the capital of the ship-owner to benefit them- Belves; that if the deoree below is allowed to stand as fixing a just measure of compensation to the ship-owner, ship- owners will instruct their masters to no longer attempt to save property in peril at sea ; and that, in consequence of the decision below, this has already been done by one of the steam-ship lines from the port of New York. These are not commendable suggestions, and it is not to be supposed that other ship-owners will follow the example set in this case of making such unfounded and exaggerated claims as are made in the libel, culmiïiating in a demand for $150,000. If, on the real facts of this case as they appeared to the district court, and as they appear to this court, the consequences intimated shall be arranged for by those who threaten them, they wiU undoubtedly hesitate to carry them out, if from no other motive, from that of self-interest, lest they themselves may at some time be in the peril with their property to which they propose to abandon the property of others. The consid- erations suggested are of no force except to injure those who procure their advocates in court to put them forth, and ean meet with no favor from disinterested and impartial persons. It is, undoubtedly, the polioy of the law, and it will be the aim of the court, to give a proper salvage remuneration to powerful and well-equipped steamers which render service in saving property that is in peril at sea.

St. 588,) re-enacts this pro- vision of the act of 1824 — to-wit, "on all manufactures, not otherwise specified, made of brass, iron, steel, pewter, or tin, or of which either of these metals is a component material" — in exactly the same words, making the duty 40 per cent, ad valorem instead of 25 ; and it ia manifest that this provision does not include "tin plates," because they are by the same act again made free. See section 3, p. 590, 4 U. S. St. The act of March 2, 1833, (4 Gen. St. 629,) is instructive in the point now under consideration. It provided (section 1) for a reduction of duties in all foreign imports, where the duty exceeded 20 per cent, on the value thereof. Manufactures of brass, iron, steel, pewter, and tin, which then paid 40 per cent, ad valorem, were included in this pro- vision. The reduction was to be the excess of the duty above 20 per cent., or in other words to 20 per cent. One-tenth of this deduction was to be made on and after Deceraber 31, 1833; one-tenth on and after Deeember 31, 1835; one-tenth on and after Deeember 31, 1837; one-tenth on and after Deeember 31, 1839 ; and on the thirty-first day of Deeember, 1841, one-half the residue of 'such excess, and on the thirtieth day of June, 1842, the other half, was to be deducted. This left a duty of 20 per centum on the manufactures of brass, iron, steel, pewter, and tin on and after the thirtieth day of June, 1842. "Tin plates," at the passage of this act of March 2, 1833^ were in the free list, (not included in the manufactures of iron and tin,) and by the fourth section of the act (4 St. 630)<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 8hwuw9go2iixl5n8n8udv05wm26yqgw Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/526 104 644004 15135092 8172862 2025-06-14T22:27:37Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: AIi → AL , POBT → PORT, PORTEB → PORTER, removed: � (8) 15135092 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>&12 rEDKBAL SBPORTER, who sold it to Eliza Bryant on the eighth of August, 1876. These sales, it is admitted, were without consideration, and the last grantee held the property subjeot to the rights of crediter s. A few days after the property was sold to Eliza Bryant, this plaintif recovered a judgment in this court against the Julians, upon which there is a balance still unpaid. In September, 1876, the Julians were adjudged bankrupts. After ail this had taken place, Jesse Cate loaned $1,000 to J, B. Julian, and in order to secure it he caused Eliza Bry- ant to transfer this property to Cate, and Cate made an agreement to reconvey it to Eliza Bryant upon the payment of the loan. Cate had no notice that Eliza Bryant held the property without a consideration. He therefore was a bona fiàe mortgagee of the property. It was conveyed to him by an absolute deed. After this had occurred, the assignee brought suit in this court'against Cate and the Messrs. Julian and Mrs. Bryant, to have the claim of Cate to the property set aside; or, if that could not be done, to have a judgment entered against the Julians for the value of the property; and the court held that Cate was an innocent purchaser, or grantee, and was entitled to pi'otection ; and that the Julians and Mrs. Bryant were liable for a certain amount, on which the court decided judgment should be entered against them; although judg- ment was not, in fact, then rendered, the court only giving an opinion on the points in controversy. Subaequently, J. B. Julian made a proposition to the assignee to this effect : that no judgment should be entered in this court in the suit, and that he would procure for the assignee a good title to the property still held by Cate, to which proposition the assignee assented, providing it would meet the approval of the court, and that approval was given. Thereupon J. B. Julian caused a deed to be made by Martha Julian, of lands which she owned in Jasper connty, to Cate, as security for the debt due to him in place of the land which he held by grant from Mrs. Bryant. That being done, Cate executed a quitclaim deed to Mrs. Bryant for the Wells county<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> db3v75oij2lpwh0cvh54vwyod2p41cu Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/530 104 644008 15135093 8172867 2025-06-14T22:27:38Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, ORTBB → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (12) 15135093 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>516 rSDEBÀL REPORTER. interesi and derive none from their irregular transaetîonff,— the moneys advanced or paid, on the one side or on the other, are not properly chargeable to the institutions which the dishonest ofScials represent. Expert accouîitants have been employed by both parties. It is to be lamented that the expert for the assignee died before the court could derive any benefit from his investigation of the transaction in con- troversy. On the other hand, the expert of the bank has testified so fully, and given such plausible reasons for his opinions, that the claimants seem quite disposed to rest their claim upon his testimony alone. On the argument the learned counsel for the assignee in- sisted — 1. That by the provisions of section 5081 of the bankrupt act the whole claim should be rejected. The reason assigned was that the proof of claim, as origi- nally filed, contained items which the claimants subsequently acknowledged were a mistake, and the section provides that the court "shall rejeet ail claims not duly proved, or where the proof shows the claim to be grounded in fraud, illegality, or mistake." The phraseology of the section is strong, and doubtless authorizes the court to rejeet the claim on any of the grounds stated. But I have always, in practice, con- strued the clause to mean that, in the absence of fraud, it was competent for the court to correct any mere mistake, and to allow the proof to stand for any sum that, upon examina- tion, was found to be actually due. It was further insisted by him — 2. Ttat, in the absence of proof to the contrary, the pay- ment of checks by a bank was always presumptive that the drawer had funds deposited for their payment. This proposition will hardly be controverted. It la well settled that the mere paying and holding a eheck is no evi- dence of a loan of money by the drawee to the drawer, because the legal presumption is that auch payment is only a return of funds which had been before deposited by the drawer.

One Tliayer bas proved a debt for upwards of |30,- 000. This creditor bas not assented, and, if bis claim is to be considered in the computation of the requisite one-third in value, this point is well taken, The question is whether the bankrupt is liable aa principal debtor upon this claim. Thayer's proof of debt is upon a bond for the sum of $60,000, executed by the bankrupt, June 15, 1877, to one Hill, as receiver, ap- pointed by the court in an action against John A. Duff and others. Thayer proves as assignee of the bond. The con- dition of the bond is the payment of the sum of $30,000 to the receiver, or his assigns, June 15, 1882, with interest semi-annually, "according to the condition of a bond made by John A. Duff and Eufus G. Duff, jointly and severally, to Baid receiver, bearing even date herewith, to which bond this is collateral." I think enough appears on the face of this bond to show that this obligation was incurred by the bank- rupt not on his own aceount, but as surety for John A. Duff, and, therefore, that he cannot be regarded as having become indebted thereon as principal debtor. The construction of this phrase, "principal debtor," was carefully considered by this court in In re Loder, 4 N. B. E. 190. It was there held that an obligation as indorser, after the liability bas become fixed by non-payment and notice, is not an obligation as "principal debtor," if the indorsement was for the accom- modation of the maker of the note. I think the present case is within that decision. It is argued, however, that on this bond itself the bankrupt was the principal obliger, — indeed, the only obliger, — and not in the position of an indorser. who is on the face of the contract not the principal obligor. I think, however, that the distinction in the statute referred not to the form of the obligation so much as to the real relation of the bankrupt to the debt itself. Greater indulgence was intended to be extended to bankrupts in respect to obligations incurred on behalf of others than in respect to those incurred on their own aceount ; and it seems to me to be immaterial whether the bankrupt joins in the bond of the principal debtor as a<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 0w1r09eap8yvd3tg1yzuf7w4v7ovd7y Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/544 104 644022 15135095 8172883 2025-06-14T22:27:40Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EBPO → REPO, POBT → PORT, REPORTEE → REPORTER, removed: � (7) 15135095 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>530 FEDERAL REPORTER. whetlier I took up one of Exhibit A, (theEast ludia wrapper,) or sent them one whea I made the change ; that is, wiiether I took up a package like Exhibit A, or took up a label or sent them one." It is clearly proved that in the latter part of 1876 the Waterbury Printing Company made for the defendant as near an imitation of the plaintiff's wrapper and label as was possi- ble, with the necessary alteration of names, and that the Dixon trade-mark was fumished by some one to the printing Company for that purpose. Indeed, it is manifest from a comparison of the two wrappers that one was copied from the other. There is not so close a resemblance between the "East India" and the Dixon wrapper as there is between the latter and the wrapper of the, New England Lead Works. The "directions" are entirely different. But it is apparent, from reading the descriptions of the polish whioh are printed on each wrapper, that the two had but one author ; they are almost identical. Did Dixon copy from Benham, or did Benham copy from Dixon ? It is sufficiently established that Dixon commenced the use of his wrapper as early as in 1848. Benham does not claim to have commenced until 1853. I have no doubt that the mind and the hand which prepared the Benham wrapper for the press in 1853 used the Dixon wrapper as a pattern, and that there was a conscious attempt to imitate the form in whioh the successful article had been presented to the public. It did not appear that the plaintiff was chargeable with laches af ter it discovered the defendant's wrappers and labels. Let there be a decree for an injunction against the use or imitation, colorable or otherwise, of the plaintiff's wrappers, labels, or trade-mark, and for au accounting.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 28u50tp07nhwe4t02ee1nq07lez3efv Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/552 104 644030 15135096 7545404 2025-06-14T22:27:41Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: wbi → whi, TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (10) 15135096 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>538 FEDEBiti REPORTER. T. L. Livermore, for complainants. B, F. Thunton, for defendants. LowELL, C. J. As I construe the patent, it îs for an îm- provement in the manufacture of that class of whips which are turned in a lathe, and the whip-stock claimed isthe stock just before it goes into the lathe, or an improvement in the manufacture at that part of its progress. This last point is very important, because one Herrick is proved, without con- tradiction, to have made whip-stocks, with a wooden plug or backing, before 1870. Herrick did not finish his whip-stocks in a lathe, though they were fit for that mode of operation, and, if the second claim of the re-issue is for a turned whip- Btock, it might, perhaps, be sustained. But the claim itself declares that the arrangement is "in order that the butt of the stock may be held and finished by a turning machine," and a statement precisely like this is made in an earlier part of the specification. That claim must, therefore, be held to have been anticipated by Herrick, and to be void. The invention mentioned in the first claim was made in 1865, and was not, in my opinion, in public use or on sale more than two years before March 9, 1871, by reason of the manufacture at Charlestown; not on sale, because neither the invention, nor anything which embodies or would be likely to suggest it, is found in the completed whip; and not in public use, because the invention was tested in the only way in which it could fairly be tested, by making a few at the factory where the patentee was employed. The law since 1870, as I understand it, has avoided a pat- ent, if any one has publicly used or has sold the same inven- tion, by whomsoever diseovered, for more than two years before the patent was applied for. The Herrick whip was certainly made before 1870, but I do not think it is proved to have been made before March 9, 1869. The precise date isleft in much doubt. I do not find that this invention was anticipated.

To authorize the institu- tion of a suit in personam on a contract, witii a judgment for money, and to add to it what the state statuts in this case has added, is not to add a common-Iaw remedy as respects the proceeding to enforce the lien on the chattel. It is not like a judgment for money, and an execution thereon, under which the interest of the defendant in the vessel might be seized and sold. It is a proceeding based on a prior lien on the vessel to enforce that lien by a sale of the vessel. The lien set up in the complaint in the suit in the state court is a lien claimed to have arisen from the employaient of the plaintiff by the owner of the vessel to repair her, the delivery of the vessel by her owner to the plaintiff for the purpose of repairing her, the making of the repairs, and the continued possession of the vessel by the plaintiff thereafter up to the bringing of the suit. No lien by any state statute is alleged, nor any maritime lien, nor is anything alleged as to whether the home port of the vessel was in the state of New York, where the repairs were made. The findings of fact by the court show that the lien foreclosed was held to be solely the lien so set up in the complaint. The case, therefore, is one of a maritime contract, followed by what is claimed to be a possessory lien, not a maritime lien, nor a lien created by statute. The aot of 1869 does not create any lien. It refers to existing liens, and it may be donbted whether it is not limited to liens which in their na- ture are capable of being enforced and foreclosed by a sale of the chattel by the person holding the lien, and whether it gives to any lien any attribute which it does not otherwise possess. At common law, a lien arising out of a locatio operis faciendi, or a hire of labor and services, euch as the one in the present case, is merely a right to retain the thing bailed until the compensation for the labor and service is paid. But the lien is one strictly personal to the person contracting to do the work or services, and the thing bailed cannot be sold or parted with by him.

If it was an innocent mistake, then it is unjust and unconscionable for him to insist on the benefit of it. Moreover, the correspondence between the parties shows clearly that the defendants admitted the libellants' right to a. re-adjustment of the amount of the freight if their claim was sustained that the freight measurement in faet exceeded that which was made the basis of the alleged subsequent agree- ment. In their letter of April 4, 1874, after stating the return of the freight measurement reeeived from California, the libel- lants say: "We would call your attention to the latter, (i. e,, the freight measurement,) and think we ought to be paid on the difference as per charter-party, namely, 2,948 feet." In reply the defendants, on the eighteenth of April, wrote: "Your favor showing the amount of oak delivered at the Mare island navy is at hand. I have been from home, or it would bave sooner had attention. I hope to receive an explanation soon showing the difference of measures, and as soon as we do, will eaU on you to adjust the account." Mr. Bigler bas testified that, in using the words "will call on you to adjust the account,"'he referred only to the account of interest which, under the alleged subsequent agreement, was required to be made. It is impossible to believe that this is so. The perfectly obvions meaning of the letter is otherwise. That which the letter, to which this is a reply, alone asks to have adjusted, is a difference in the amount of freight. The reply, without objeeting to the justice of the demand, if the alleged fact on which it is based is true, asks time to ascertain if the fact of excess of actual cargo over bill of lad- ing is correctly stated, and promises to call and adjust the ac- count on ascertaining how the alleged fact is. There was no possible occasion for time to inquire as to the actual p^mount of the cargo, if ail that the defendants intended to adjust was the interest under the agreement ; and as matter of construc- tion their letter mùst be held to be a written admission that the existing contract between the parties in respect to the amount of freight was the charter-party and that alone.

The value of each is enhanced by keeping them together, It is sometimes loosely said in the books that whatever the tenant can remove must be levied on and sold as personal prop- erty. This may be so as to mere utensils of trade, or trade "fixtures," which are portable, and not seriously injured or ren- dered useless by severanoe. But not so as to structures like this. No doubt the press is valuable when severed, and can be plaeed on other land, but the mere cost of taking down and putting up is so great, that its value standing and ready for work is far greater, and it cannot be that a debtor can be compelled to submit to a mode of levy and sale which so deteriorates his property. If so, it could be severed and sold . on an execution for any small amount. Take the case of buildings built on leasehold land with a covenant for re- moval. Can it be said that they must be severed and sold by the sheriff, rather than sold all together ? It does not fol- low because the leasehold, or the structures upon it, are per- sonal property, and are sold as such, that they are to b& treated as loose or portable chattels, or that the structures are to be severed to make them so. Both being chattels, it may, in a proper case, be sold as a whole; and, if the lease- hold be real estate, in the hands of the lessee, the fixtures on it must be real estate, as between him and his creditors, just. as they would be if his estate was freehold, Perhaps the- true theory is that the fixtures, when of a character to be real estate, if the owner bas a freehold in the land, are also real estate if he bas only a leasehold with a right of removal, and that it is the right of entry, severanoe, and removal which is levied on and sold. But the purohaser, if the leasehold can also be sold, buying that, bas the same right to let them vemain as they were, uhtil it suits his pleasure or interest to remove them, as the lessee or execution debtor had. And, in thia view, it is immaterial whether they be real estate or chattels, and I think the sheriff, in a case like this, whether he sells as real property or chattels, should sell all together.

L. 701,) it is said that in the English statute of frauds the words "lands, tenements, and hereditaments" were iised to denote a fee-simple, and the words "any interest in or con- cerning them," to denote a chattel interest, or any interest less than fee-simple. These are almost the words of section 51 of the Tennessee Code. It will be found, in examining the subject, that ever since lands in the colonies were subjected to execution there has been, partienlarly in the colonial and earlier state legislation, a disposition to assimilate leaseholds, at least for long terms, to real estate. The courts Bometimes construed the words "real estate" and "lands" to include them, but generally it was beld those words did not. Many of the states have, by statute, made them real estate, and there is nothing novel in so treating them. This section of the Code, in my opinion, was intended especially to make leaseholds subject to the incidents of real estate where the statute does not otherwise particularly direct. The case of The People v. Westervclt, 17 Wend. 674; S. G. 20 Wend. 416; and Putnam v. Westcott, 19 J. K. 73; and the cases cited in Freeman on Executions, § 119, and other text writers, — show the growth of legislation and judieial decision in this direction of making leaseholds real estate. In Barr v. Graves, 11 Central Law Journal, 471, the supreme court of Tennessee held that a leasehold, with its machinery aùd fixtures for cleaning cotton, could be seized under attachment without going on the premises or taking possession of the property. It is true, the attach- ment was to enforce a statutory mechanic's lien, but the procedure would be the same, as I have endeavored to show, at common law, and without any lien. Indeed, our method of selling real estate under execution finds its archetype in the common-law mode of selling a leasehold under the Jieri fadas, elegit, and levari facias. The case cites with approval Kelly V. SchulUe, 12 Heisk, 218 ; Choate V. Tighe, 10 Heisk. 621 ; and Pemberton V. King, supra.

In the statement was included the amount of indebtedness in Chicago, which was set down at about $2,000. Upon the representations thus made to the New York creditors an extension was granted, not for the whole time demanded, but so as to relieve the par- ties from the necessity of meeting their paper, then about to fall due. McElwain returned to Chicago, and they eontinued their business until the following September, when a general assign- ment or sale was made by the firm of ail their stock to Henry F. Billings, the principal defendant in this case. In October of the same year two of the New York creditors came to Chi- cago to inquire into the condition of the firm, and the resuit was a petition in bankruptcy against the firm, and a deoree of the court finding that they were bankrupts. The evidence shows an inventory was taken of the stock of the firm in May, 1 870, amounting to $30,000, and that there was an inventory taken with a view of the sale to Bill- ings, which amounted to about $17,000. Considerable nego- tiations took place between Billings and McElwain before the trade was consummated and the assignment made. McEl- wain proposed that Billings should buy out Nowlin, the othor partner, which proposition was declined by Billings. The offer made by Billings, which was finally accepted, was that the goods should be invoiced, — recently purebased goods at their cost, and goods which had been on hand for some time at eurrent priees for goods of like qualities, and the fixtures at cost, — and from the amount thus asoertained a discount of 25 per cent, should be made. The price thus obtained was $13,040.58, upon which basis the contract was made, and the property turned over to Billings, who immediately had a new sign made in his own name and placed over the door, and Nowlin & McElwain were retained for a few months to assist in carrying on the business. One of the reasons given by McElwain for the sale was that the time during which they were to be partners had expire d, and that Billings was him-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> smhez882xg576rt91nx4494brhfu5sh Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/640 104 644129 15135107 14561328 2025-06-14T22:27:51Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., EBPO → REPO, OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (7) 15135107 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>626 FEDERAL REPORTER. their insolvency, and made it for the purpose of giving a preference to some of their creditors, and so, as to them, it ■was fraudulent under the bankrupt law. The true course for them to pursue at the time was either to go into bankruptoy voluntarily, or to make an assignment for the beneflt of all their creditors. The testimony of Nowlin is full of admis- sions of his knowledge of their insolvency on the first of Sep- tember, 1870. At the time Billings made this purchase ho seems to have been a man of some means. He states that he had no knowledge of the insolvency of the firm, nor of the extension that was given, and believed that their credit was very good; and the testimony of both Nowlin and McEl- wain does not show that Billings had knowledge of their con- dition at the time of the sale. The question in controversy must, therefore, depend almost exclusively upon the true construction of the bankrupt law, as applied to the f acts of the case as heretofore stated. There is no difficulty upon any other point than this : Had Billings reasonable cause to believe or had he knowledge of the inten- tion with which the sale was made to him ? As has been stated, there ean be no doubt of the intention of the vendors. Ail the acts preceding and subsequent to the sale show that intention to have been in violation of the bankrupt law. This was an assignment of all the debtor's property. Sec- tion 5130, Eev. St. U. S., re-enacting a clause contained in section 36 of the original bankrupt law, declares that if an assignment is made of a debtor's property, not in the usual and ordinary course of the business of the debtor, it shall be prima fade evidence of fraud. This firm was doing a retail business in Chicago at the time, and that which ordinarily belongs to jewelers. This, having been an assignment of the whole stock of the firm, must be considered not made in the usual and ordinary course of business, and, therefore, as well prima fade evidence of fraud against the vendee as the vend- ors. In other words, that f act of itself evidenced fraud to the vendee as well as the vendors.

He stated that the costs in the case had not been paid, but that he was willing to make payment of all the costs ; and in the petition in review to this court he alleges that he has paid ail' costs due. On the seventeenth of October, 1879, the district court refused to grant the appli- cation of the bankrupt for his discharge, and it is that order which is sought to be reviewed by the petition in this court. It is intimated, for there is no opinion of the district judge in the case, that the ground upon which the court disallowed the application of the bankrupt was that there had been a final disposition of the cause, and, therefore, it came too late. If this were so, it must have been because the discharge of the assignee from all liability was considered as a final disposition of the cause. But as there were no assets, and no claims proved against the estate, the discharge of the assignee was merely a formai matter, and, indeed, was unnecessary, hav- ing nothing to do, in one important particular, at least, with the final dispostion of the cause. Without expressing any opinion as to the regularity of the proceeding before the regis- ter, it would seem that it should, in some form, comie under the cognizance of the court. There is nothing to indicate that, in this record, nor to show when, if ever, the proceedings before the register were filed in the district court. I had occasion to consider an application of this klnd sev- eral years ago, In re Canady, 2 Biss. 75. That decision was made under the etatute as it then stood, which declared that the bankrupt, at any time after the expiration of six months from the adjudication in bankruptcy, and within one year of the same, might apply to the court for his discharge. It was there held that there was a certain discretion in the court, if proper explanations were given for the delay, to grant the discharge, notwithstanding the application might be made after one year. It would seem as though the bankrupt ought not to be precluded from making an application, unless he has had notice of something to be done which shall constitute the final disposition of the cause. In this case he says he had no notice whatever of the action of the assignee or of the register.

But why should the fact that Voetter bas been adjudged & bankrupt prejudice Brainard? Surely, if anything is authori- tatively settled, it is that an assignee in bankruptcy takes the bankrupt's estate subjeot to wbatever equities the bankrupt himself was liable to. On the subject of set-offs the languape of the bankrupt law is as follows: "In ail cases of mutual debts or mutual credits between the parties the account between them shall be stated, and one debt set off against the other, and the bal- ance only shall be allowed or paid." Section 6073, U. S. Eev. St. The term mutual credits imports something more than that of mutual dehts. Collyer on Part. § 1008. This bas been repeatedly held under the English bankrupt law, which on this subject is substantially the same as ours. In the leading case of Bose v. Hart, 8 Taunt. 449, 3 Smith'a L. C. 293, it was held that the mutual credits within the meaning of the bankrupt law are credits which must, in their nature, terminate in debts ; and this means, net credita which must, ex necessitate rei, terminate in debts, but credits which have a natural tendenoy to terminate thus. Blumen- stiel's L. & P. in Bank. 285. The case of French v. Fenn, 3 Doug. 257, in principle, is identical with the case in hand. There, Fenn and one Cox and another joined in an adventure to buy and sell pearls; and it was agreed that the money for the purchase should be advanced by Fenn, who was to receive interest from bis associates on bis advances made for them, and that the profit and loss should be equally divided between the three. Cox became bankrupt, and afterwards Fenn sold the pearls and received the money therefor. In an action by the assignees of Cox, to recover his share of the profits, it was held that Fenn was entitled to set oflf an independent debt due from Cox to himself. 1 find no case arising under our bankrupt law which de- cides the precise question now before me; but many cases have carried the doctrine of set-off arising from mutual cred- its as far as I am asked to do here.

The valve, e, and neck of the bottle should, however, be so Bhaped, even when the shoulder, x, is employed, that the former will bô compressed in the taper portion of the neck beforeit cornes against the shoulder, in order to create friction sufficient to prevent the falling of the stopper when still liquors are con- tained in the bottle; as, for instance, a valve slightly conical on the upper end, and fitting into the neck of the bottle, shaped correspondingly, and without any shoulder. The oper- ation of my new stopper for bottles, etc., may be thus ex- plained : "I may remark first, however, that the manipulation, in closing a bottle with my invention, is different somewhat when different liquors are to be bottled; that is, those which are bottled under pressure, such as soda-water, and those which are still liquors, or without gas or pressure. In ail instaûces, however, the stopper is formed as shown, and is forced into the bottle as seen at figure 2. To bottle soda- water and other gaseous liquids, under pressure, I take the bottle, thus provided with its stopper, and place it in the fiU- ing machine, in which the given quantity of water and gas is supplied to the bottle, the stopper remaining, as seen at fig- ure 2. I then invert the bottle while it is yet attached to the Bupply tube, which must for this purpose be flexible and have its cock arranged so as to admit of the bottle, while attached to the tube, being thus turned over, when the stopper falls into the neck of the bottle, the valve, c, resting in its seat, and in this position I disconnect the bottle from the filling ma- chine, when the pressure within the bottle retaina the valve, c, against its seat and keeps the bottle effectually closed. When it is desired to empty the bottle a slight blow or press- ure on top of the knob, i, will cause the stopper to descend to the bottom of the bottle, as seen at figure 2, and the liquid is poured out.

The Chandos arrived in the Colnmbia river on August lOth, and anchored in Baker's bay, where she remained 10 days, and then proceeded to Portland, where she arrived on August 22d. There the libellant was sent to the marine hos- pital, where he remained about two months. From the evi- dence of the hospital physicians the bons bas united and the leg will in all probability be strong and sound, but it is about three inches short ; the knee ia also somewhat stiff, but that will probably paas away. The libellant brings this suit against the vessel and the master to recover $5,000 damages for the injury sulïered by the fall, and the subsequent inattention, alleging that the fall was caused by the negleot of the master in not providing a sufBcient crane line, and that the shortening of his leg was caused by neglect and the want of proper treatment after the fracture. Upon the first point I find against the libellant. From the evidence it plainly appears that the crane line is not pri- marily a foot-rope, and that it is put upon the stays to keep them steady, and not to walk upon, but that it is often used by seamen more or less as a support or rest in going from the top to the stop and casting it off. It also appears that this line, which is usually on this vessel a fifteen-thread ratline, is very liable to ohafe and wear from the swaying of the stays, 80 that somstimes it only lasts a day or so, and is therefore considered an insecure footing, and one that ought not to be used without other support, or more than ordinary caution. As an evidence of how soon this line may become chafed and weakened, and therefore of its insecurity as a foot-rope, it may be mentioned that on the evening before the libellant was hurt, as he came down from f urling the sail, he sat with ail his weight upon this same crane line while he put on this same stop. And yet it broke with him under similar circum- stances within eight hours thereafter. When, therefore, the libellant, who appears to be a man above the average weight, went upon this line in the dark, without any precaution against<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 9qrvbbi9dvqxsmz6dec2yjmnq4s9um5 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/676 104 644165 15135112 14561304 2025-06-14T22:27:56Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EDEBAL → EDERAL , TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (6) 15135112 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>662 VEDERAL REPORTER. it was necessaryand for the interest of all concerned; but the effect of Buch sale to discharge liens is the same. The Amelie, 6 Wall. 18. In the case under consideration none of these objections are taken to the validity of the sale, but it is insisted that it can- not be held to have discharged the vessel of liens which the court making the sale had no jurisdiction to enforce. I have found no case, exeept possibly that of The Angelique, (17 Law Eep. 104, since expressly overruled,) which lends countenance to this proposition. Upon principle, it seems to me wholly nntenable. It is true the vessel was originally condemned, in part at least, upon a claim for ship-keepers' fees, which would not in this country be considered to import a maritime lien. The Thomas Scattergood, Gilpin, 1 ; The Havana, 1 Sprague, 402; The Island City, 1 Low. 375; The Sarah Jane, 2 Am. Law Eev. 450; Qurney v. Crockett, Abb. Ad. 493. But this was a question exclusively for the consideration of the maritime court under the laws of Canada, and the pre- sumption is conclusive that the facts necessary to give that court jurisdiction existed. Hudson v. Questier, 6 Cr. 281; Comstock v. Crawford, 3 Wall. 396. To say that the judicial sale of a vessel frees her only from such liens as the court making the sale had jurisdiction to enforce by original process, is a practical deniai of the principle that such a sale vests a cleat title in the purchaser. This would make the validity of the sale depend, not upon the power of the court to condemn and sell, but upon its authority to assume jurisdiction of all claims which, by the law of another country, might be liens upon her. There are probably no two countries in which the jurisdiction of the admiralty courts is identically the same. That of our own courts does not extend to all cases which wouldfall within such jurisdiction accordihg to the civil law, and the practices and usages of continental Europe. By the codes of most civilized nations the cost of construction, the wages of ship-keepers, the rent of warehouses for the storage of her tackle and apparel, money lent to the eaptain for the use of the vessel, are all ranked among privileged debts.

James A. Moran also makes it appear that the freight in question was made payalble to him, by the bill of lading, as security for certain advances made by him to pay expenses of the vessel incurred in fitting out and performing the voy- age in which the freight now in the registry was earned, which advances he has shown amount to more than the amount of the freight in the registry, whereupon he asks to have the wages of the master and crew paid out of the pro- ceeds of the vessel, and the amount of the freight in the reg- istry paid over to him. In this controversy the owners of the vessel have not ap- peared, and no claim has been made, on their behalf, to any part, either of the proceeds of the vessel or the freight. No defence was made to the demand of the master and crew, either by the owners or by the Bank of Nova Scotia, or any other person, and accordingly the master as well as the seamen have obtained decrees for their wages against both the ship and the freight. As the demands of the master and crew can be paid in full, either out; of the freight or out of the proceeds of the vessel, they care not to which fund they resort for the satisfaction of their decrees, and make no oppo- sition to any order that may be made respecting the pay- ments of their demands. It is thus seen that this is a controversy between two creditors, one of Whom bas made advances on the security of the ship, the other on the security of the freight. It has been contended, in behalf of the holders of the mort- gage upon the ship, that Moran acquired no lien upon the freight by reason of his advances, and, therefore, inasmuch as his right is simply that of an assignee of the ship-owner, that the question at issue is the same as if the controversy were between the ship-owner and the mortgagee, in which case.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> cc0ghwswj81ubrxgw2ipa28qmhpry8u Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/686 104 644175 15135114 14561300 2025-06-14T22:27:58Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PBD → FED, AIi → AL , EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, TEB. → TER., removed: � (7) 15135114 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>673 FEDEKAL REPORTER. V. The Heinrîch, Crabbe, 226. The trip having ocoupîed a month, it makes no difference which way it is treated. As to the question of injury : The libellant was directed by the captain, or some other superior officer of the boat, to remove the obstruction from the wheel. It was a perilous undertaking; he used all ôrdinary care, but was injured. I understand the law to be that where a seaman is injured in the service of the boat, without any fault on his part, he is entitled to recover his fuU wages for the trip or period for ■which he was employed, and the expense incurred in his cure. Neilson \. The Laura, 2 Sawy. 242; The North America, 5 Ben. 486; Morgan v. The Berc Flint, 6 Am. Law Eeg. (N. S.) 707; S. C. 1 Abb. U. S. 126; Sims v.

This is a well-established doctrine of admiralty law; and, the libellant having brought himself within the rule, he is entitled to recover. There is no dispute as to the fact that the libellant waa severely injured, and, in consequence thereof, unable to per- form his duties as fireman during the remainder of the trip. The evidence shows that he was to receive |35 per month; that the expense of medical attendance amounted to $15, and of ioe, medicines, and other supplies furnished during siekness, $10; in ail, $60; and a decree will accordingly be entered for that amount.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 5wa7js4vt5o4ciwklcjov83wtwnnhzf Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/688 104 644177 15135115 14561298 2025-06-14T22:27:59Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, FEBE → FEDE, FEDEBA → FEDERA, removed: � (7) 15135115 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>674 FEDERAL BSPORTER. but chiefly of valuable stocks and bonds. He left a will appointing his brother Dr. Frederick Marx, bis nephew Ed- ward Mayo, botb of Eichmond, and another who never qualified, his executors, and àlso trustees for the trusts created by bis will; and devised to Frederick Marx, and cer- tain of his adult nephews, certain portions of his estate in absolute right, and to his executors the residue thereof ; but charged them as trustees, as to these portions, with certain trusts in favor respectively of Judith Meyers, Harriet M. Etting, Caroline Barton, and Adeline Mayo, his married sis- ters then living; and of certain daughters of his deceased sisters Louisa Myers and Frances Etting. He directed all his real estate and personalty to be sold as soon as possible àfter his death, and those proportions of the proceeds which were not devised absolu tely to be invested in good and secure stocks, with power in the trustees to couvert them into other stocks, the securities to be taken in the names of the executors for the beneficiaries named in the will, and to show on their face for whose benefit they were respectively to be held; and provided that these securities should have the charactçr of realty in the eyent of the death of those entitled. Frederick Marx was the only one of those named as exe- cutors who qualified shortly after the death of Samuel Marx, which he did on the thirteenth December, 1860. He seems to have filed an appraisement of the estate in due time, according to law, and to have accounted regularly, before a proper commissioner, as to his transactions for the years ending December 13, 1861; December 13, 1862; December 13, 1863 ; and for the subsequent period ending September 7, 1864. I believe that it is admitted that he made the sales and investments required by the will in good faith ; no fraud being charged or pretended in regard to any of his transactions. On November 26, 1864, up to which time Frederick Marx had acted as sole executor and trustee, he turned over to Ed- ward Mayo, who had then ]ust qualified as executor and trustee, all the stocks, bonds, funds, and estate in his hands.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> du3g5syxfu6gwq7g4hrnj2ediyjpmjc Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/694 104 644183 15135116 12697598 2025-06-14T22:28:00Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDBB → FEDER, POKTER → PORTER, removed: � (8) 15135116 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>680 FEDERAL REPORTER. estate unrler her father's -will.

This was a suit in equity, but might bave been brought at law. Nor do I think the case at bar falls within the second class of cases that bave been described — those in which courts of equity foUow the analogies of limitation enforced at law. Those are cases in which, though cognizable exclusively in equity, the reason of the law of limitation applies as cogently as in suits at law. The instances of this class mentioned by Judge Story are suits for real estate, where there has been adverse possession for 20 years, brought, say, by a mortgagee ; and suits brought to subjeot real estate to the liens of judg- ments, where there has been no effort to enforce the judg- ments for 20 years. The mere fact that equity has juris- diction to foreclose a mortgage, or enforce the lien of a judgment, upon real estate, is held not to eiïect the reason of the law of limitations which bars actions at law after certain periods of time. It cannot be pretended that the present suit falls within that class of cases. I conclude that it falls within the third class, to-wit, that in which equity, wholly ignoring the statutes of limitations by which the law arbitrarily bars actions after periods of time arbitrarily fixed, assumes the untrammelled prerogative of deciding, upon the circumstances of the partioular case before it, whether the complainant has used such diligence in exhib- iting his demand as the nature of the case required; and whether, in giving him relief after such delay as has ocourred, the court can be certain not only of his right to it, but also that it can be granted without injury to the rights of persona who may be thereby injured in consequence of the delay.

In Hough v. Coughlan, 41 111. 131, there had been a con- tract by bond for the conveyance of land, and after 12 years a bill was brought for specifie performance, and the court held that there had been unreasonable delay: "That great delay of either party unexplained, in not performing the terms of a contract, or in not prosecuting his rights under it by filing a bill, or in not prosecuting his suit with diligence when instituted, constituted such laches as would forbid the interference of a court of equity." In Mitchell v. Berry, 1 Met. (Ky.) 619, it was held, where a cestuî que trust desires to avoid a sale of his estate, at which the trustee has become the purchaser, he must apply to chan- cery in a reasonable time after he had knowledge of the f acts which impeach the sale, or he will be presumed to have aequiesced, and that reasonable time depends upon the cir- cumstanoes of the case, and the discretion of the court. In the particular case before the court an acquiescence of 12 years was held sufficient to disable the parties from coming into a court of equity. In Davison v. Jersey Co. 71 N. Y. 333, there had been a contract for building bouses by May 1, 1859, and for purchase and deeds. Suit was brought for specifie performance in 1S64:, and it was held that the rights of complainant were, under the circumstances of that case, forfeited by laches. In The State v.

It is alleged in the answer that the plaintiff well knew that the enterprise in which respondents had embarked "inyolved the crossing of plaintiff's road at or near the point of crossing aforesaid, and that the place and manner of said crossing, as aforesaid, were fully explained to the plaintiff, and that the plaintiff expressly assented to and approved the place and manner of cross- ing as aforesaid, and represented to the defendants, and gave them to understand, that they coidd and should be permitted to build and operate the said Barnesville & Moorhead Eailroad across the «aid plaintiff's road at the place aforesaid when- ever and as soon as they desired so to do, and that they would assist in effecting such crossing, and that no obstacle would be interposed thereto; and that after such representations and license, and in firm reliance upon the same, and without and before any notice or knowledge that the said representations •would not be carried eut in good faith, or of any design on the part of the plaintiff to interpose any obstacles whatever to such crossing, or to attempt so to do, the said defendant com- panies went on and expended large sums of money in the construction of said road, to-wit, several hundred thousand dollars, " etc. These allegations are denied by certain affida- vits filed by complainant; but it is manifest that the ques- tion of fact thus presented eannot be iinally decided until the final hearing upon the testimony. The right of the complain- ant to damages for the crossing of its track on the land above described, by the respondents' railroad, depends upon the docision of these several questions, some of which are by no means free from difSculty, and one of which (the last named) eannot be finally determined until the final hearing. In such a case the usual course is to continiie the injunction in force, and thus keep the parties in statu quo until the final hearing. But this rule bas its exceptions. Courts of equity will some- times substitute a bond of indemnity for an injunction, if the ends of justice will thereby be'promoted, and especially if any public interest may suffer by continuing the injunction in force pending the litigation.

However this may be, tiiere was no understanding that this fund should be used in the pur- chase of the property, nor was there any agreement as to how the money should be raised for that purpose. As the resuit • of the several interviews between Bissell and Foss ou the Bubject of the purchase, it may be said that they were united in a purpose to get the Handley interest for partnership ac- count, if it could be obtained at a cost of |30,000 or less, but nothing was done towards raising the money. With this end ia view negotiations took place with members of the Hand- ley party, but nothing was accomplished until a few days iater, when Hunter arrived at Leadville, Whether Hunter was then advised of what had taken place between Bissell and Foss and the Handley party, we are not informed ; but upon bis arrivai a new arrangement was made between himself and Foss for obtaining the Handley interest, and apparently without the knowledge of Bissell. This was, in substance, that Hunter -was to assume to sell to Foss his oue-fourth interest in the property for $15,000, in order to induce the Handley party to sell their one-fourth interest at the same priee; and Hunter was to furnish the money for the Hand- ley interest, and have two-thirds of that one-fourth, or two- twelfths of the whole, — the remainder of that one-fourth, or one-twelfth of the whole, to go to Foss. This trick was suc- cessful, and Foss was made the grantee of one,-haif interest in the property from Hunter, Handley, Eobertson, and Eaw- lings, of which he a few days Iater reconveyed five-twelfths to Hunter. In this performance Handley, Eobertson, and Eawlings received $300 from Foss and $14,700 from Hunter, who pretended to act in that matter as the agent of Foss, but really furnished the money himself. Before the transaction was fully completed by the payment of the money, and prob- ably on the day the deed was made and before it was deliv- ered, Bissell was advised of it, and at once asserted his right to an equal shai-e in the property with Hunter and Foss, and expressed his ■willingneas to pay his part of the purchase<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 7f2hj06nimu2l2nlqtflty6t97ltfk3 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/714 104 644203 15135120 14627625 2025-06-14T22:28:04Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (7) 15135120 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>100 VEOBRAti SEPORTER. benefit of ail who should retain their interest, and certainly there is nothing in the relations of such owners to support that doctrine. The limitations to individual action on the part of the members of a partnership in respect to those matters which may or may not be within the scope of the partnersliip busi- ness are in many cases not easily defined. We know, how- ever, that fidelity to the partnership is the higbest duty of its members, and that no member ean be allowed to turn the partnership concerns to bis own account; and, whenever a member is found to be seeking a private advantage from partnership dealings, the courts aru prompt to correct sucb an abuse of the confidence reposee! in him by bis associates. A familiar application of the principle is found in the cases cited by counsel, it which it is held that a partner caniiot in his own name renew the lease of the premises used by the firm. In New York the doctrine was applied to a case in which the renewal did not begin until the copartnership had expired by its own limitation, and the reasons assigned by the court are entirely satisfaetory. Mitchell y. Reed, 61 N. Y. 123. The position assumed in these cases is that the renewal is ancillary to the original lease, and so far connected with it that it shall be regarded as a part of it; and, as the original lease was owned by the' firm, any attempt by a member to appropriate the renewal to his own use is a direct conversion of the property of the firm. In other words, the doctrine is that a member of a firm jhall not be permitted to take unio himself the property of the firm, and the renewal of the lease whereof the firm holds the original is such property, and therefore it is protected for the use of the firm. To invoke the principle, however, it is obviously necessary to show that the malversation was of the partnership funds or effects, for if it be otherwice no member of the partnership can com- plain. And this brings as to inquire, what right or interest of the copartnership of which he was a member was used or asserted by Foss in making the purchase of his associates' interest in the mines? Is it true that in a mining partnership the firm<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> bwujgppaif74mzts19juau0q6l1b8yn Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/722 104 644211 15135121 8173084 2025-06-14T22:28:05Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (6) 15135121 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>708 FEDERAL REPORTER. the eompany is to be prepared to execute its contracta, both to carry passengers and to carry freight; it cannot excuse itself for a failure to do the one uppn the ground that it was bound to do the other, and that it was not able.to do both. Therefore, if there was nothing in the case except the faet of a delay of 24 hours at this station, and if you should find that thàt delay was the cause ôf the injury of which theplain- tiff complains, he would be entitled to recoyer. But it is incumbent upon the plaintiff to show by the preponderance of testimony that the damage to his stock was caused by that delay of 24 hours, and that is the next question for your con- sideratiofl.. You are to oonsider that question carefully upon th'e testimony that bas been submitted to you, and it is for you tp, decide whether, in the case of the horses that died, their death was caused by this delay; and, as to the others, whether their sickness and the damage tothem was the resuit of the same cause. In eonsidering this question you will look into the evidence which has been offered before you, tending to show that the injury might have resulted from some other cause; and if you find that it did resuit from other cause, or, in other words, if you do not find the evidence sufScient to show that it resulted from this delay, you cannot find a verdict for the plaintiff; as, fdr example, you must consider the con- dition of the stock when it was shipped at Kansas City, and its condition when it was shipped in Kentucky. If you find that there was anything the matter with the stock, or any of ii;, before it started from Louisville, that is a fact to be con- sidered, and upon the testimony it is for you to say whether this delay of 24 hours resulted in the death of the two horses, and in the sickness and injury of the others eomplained of. If you find that the delay was the cause of the injury to the stock, then your verdict will be for the plaintiff, unless you find for the defendant on some of the matters that are alleged by way of defence.

If the debtor escaped the bankruptcy court for the prescribed time, the preference or lien remained valid. If he did not, it is void ahsolutely." And the judgment of the supreme court in Doe y. Childers, 21 Wall. 643, is strongly in the same direction, although it be an implication, rather than a direct utterance. The decis- ion there was that an attachment, laid more than four months previously to the proceedings in bankruptcy begun, continued a valid lien, and was not dissolved by the transfer of the bankrupt estate to the assignee. But the court, in reaching that conclusion, say: "Under the fourteenth section (§ 5044 of Eev. St.) of the bankrupt act, the title pendente lite is transferred by operation of law from the bankrupt to the assignee in bankruptcy. The con- veyance of the register operates as would, under ordinary circumstances, the deed of a person having the title, with two differences : First, it relates back to the commencement of the bankruptcy proceeding; secondly, the register's conveyance dissolves any attachment that has been made within four months previous to the commencement of the bankrupt pro- ceedings." The title of the complainant failing, and the law requiring him to stand upon the strength of his own title, rather than the weakness of his adversaries, the bili of complaint must be dismissed, with costs.

So when in his specifications he mentions charcoal as an absorbent, he observes that it bas the "defect of being itself a combustible material." To our mind, looking at the history of the invention and reading the specifications of the patent in this light, it is clear that the inventor used the word "inexplosive" in its natural and ordinary sense, and that the attempt to limit that mean- ing is an afterthought of his assignees, desiring to bring within the reach of the patent compounds in no respect within his contemplation. In other words, the re-issued letters cover a compound not claimed by Nobel, and not embraced in the original patent. It foUows that in our judgment the complainant bas no just clause of complaint against the defendants, and its suit must be dismissed, with côsts, and it is so ordered. Note.

And the A. claimed to be heading north-west lesa than one point free on the starboard tack, with the wind north-east by north, when the red light of the P. was sighted half a point on her port bow, and thereafter, till the collision, kept her course by the wind three-quar- ters of a point ; and that then the A. ported, and that the red light drew ahead ; and that then the F. starboarded and luffed across the A.

Tessel lying athwartships of the bark. The master testified that he had reached the top step of the companion-way when the vessels struck ; that he looked back towarda the bow at the other vessel, and then immediately went to the compass and Baw that the bark headed N. W. f N. ; then he ran to the ■wheel, took it from the wheelsman and rolled it over hard a-port, and gave the order to back the yards in order to get clear of the other vessel. The four seamen of the mate's watch had the wheel buc- cessively for the four hours beginning at 8 o'clock. They aU testify that the vessel was heading ail the time N. W. ; that her yards were braced in on the port side, close to the back- stays on the wind. The evidence as to the angle at which the vessels came together was conflicting. The master of the Fernande made the blow an angling blow, and his diagram shows an angle of 52 deg., or a little over 4J points, as the heading of the Fernande across the bow of the Adolph at the time of collision. The lookout of the Adolph, by his dia- gram, makes the same angle 87 deg., or T| points. The master of the Adolph makes the same angle of the two ves- sels 103 deg. when he looked back over the bow an instant after they struck. The mate made two diagrams, making the angle in one 90 deg. and in the other 125 deg. Such evidence is worthless, so far as concerns any use of it to fix the precise angle of contact. The observation is made in a moment of peril and alarm, and the thing to be observed is one difficult of judgment if cooUy and deliberately observed, The concurrence of the witnesses, however, establishes the general faot that the angle between the vessels at the moment of col- lision was not a very acute angle, and testimony is also pro- dueed that no injury was done to the starboard bow of the Adolph,- while her port bow showed bruises and scratches, and the manner in which the bolts in her stem were bent indicated that the blow was nearly head on. The testimony of those on the Adolph is that at the moment of the collision the sails of the Adolph were full. This is not contradicted by the single witness from the Fernande.

Princeton, an American vessel, to recover advances made to the master for the neeessary disbursements of the ship while in the port of London, at the request of the master and of one Frost, who was a part owner, and at the time was acting as ship's husband. The advances were made between Decem- ber, 1875, and February, 1876, and are alleged to bave amounted to about $1,500. While ail the owners are named in the libel as defendants, the only ones who have been served and who have appeared are the respondents Sturges, Mitch- ell, and Davis, who are sued as executors of Samuel L. Mitchell, deceased, and as such defend the action. It appears that Samuel L. Mitchell died in 1873 ; that at the time of his death he was the owner of one-sixteenth part of the vessel; and that these defendants are his duly-qualified executors. The voyage upon which the vessel was when the advances were made by the libellant was therefore subsequent to the death of Mitchell, the part owner. No act of the execu- tors is shown in any way indicating their assent to the employ- ment of the ship, nor any express authority on their part to lier employment on their account or for their benefit; nor does it appear tha t they have, since they qualified as executors, received any share in the earnings. Upon these facts the libellant insists that, as executors, these defendants became jointly the owner of their testator's sixteenth part, and that, as part owners, they are liable for necessaries supplied to the ship. The liability of part owners for supplies furnished at the request of the master, or of another part owner, who is ship's husband, depends on the existence of the relation of principal and agent between the parties. Ordinarily, and in the absence of any prohibition or expressed dissent on the part of the owner sought to be oharged, his consent to the employment of the vessel, and his assent to the expenditures, if neeessary to the vessel in the due course of her employment, will be pre- sumed. But it may be shown that he has actually parted with his interest, though still a registered owner, or that he bas committed the vessel to the exclusive care and control of the other owners, and thereby disentitled himself to share in her earnings, or bas expressly dissented from the employment<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 8xd1td2o1rkxww30trml7dg26hup2ku Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/774 104 644265 15135127 8173139 2025-06-14T22:28:11Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: fuUy → fully, EEPORT → REPORT, EPORTB → EPORTE, BAL RE → RAL RE, EDBRA → EDERA, PEDE → FEDE, removed: � (6) 15135127 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>760 FEDERAL REPORTEH. ineured had contracted that the person who procured the insur- ances hould be deemed his agent, he must abide by his agree- ment; and that though, through fault Oi* mistake, that person had, in the application for a policy, misstated to the company the declarations of the assured, whereby there had been brought an untrue representation, yet that, as he had been agreed upon as the agent of the insured, the insured must suffer for the error or the wrong. That case dealt with matters before the issuing of the policy. It is so that the clause in the pol- icy is broad, and takes into the fold of its wording any cir- cumstances whatever, and any transaction relating to the insurance. In its verbal scope it bas to do with acts, as well after as before and at the time of the giving ont of the pol- icy. But, if the insured is to be now bound as having thus contracted, there must be mutuality in the contraet. No maa can serve two masters. If the procurer of the insurance is to be deemed the agent of the insured, and Harmon is to be deemed such procurer, he may not be taken into the serv- ice of the insurer as its agent also; or, if he is feo taken, the insurer must be bound by his acts and words when he stands in its place, and moves and speaks as one having authority from it; and, pro hac vice at least, he does, then, rightfully put off his agency for the insured, and put on that for the insurer.

This is a case in which the plaîntiff sues to recover damages for an injury received while riding on what he calls in his petition a "push-car or hand-car." It is alleged that he was employed as a carpenter for the defend- ant Company, and was furnished with a car to carry his tools and transport himself f rom the station on the main line along a side-track or branch roadto a ooal station; that he went up on this car. It is not stated in the petition whether he pushed *t up, or whether he rode upon it and somebody else pushed it ; but it is alleged that when he came to return he and several others got aboard the car and started down the track, which was of a very steep grade, and the car got beyond their con- trol, having no means of retarding its movement, and in jump- ing out of it hewas injured. The demurer to the petition is upon the ground that plain- tiff's statement of the case in the pleadings shows that he was guilty of contributory negligence. In the courts of the United States, at least, and I think in most if not ail the states, the defence of contributory negligence is a good defence in a casa of this kind.

There has been one sale which has been set aside for inadequacy of priee, The property has been resold, and has brought a sum near its value. AU the court could do — ail Judge Blodgett could do in the district court — would be simply to order a resale, and perhaps declare that the $35,000 or $36,000 should be considered as a bid made. Our practice has never been to allow the receiver or the master, as the case may be, in a judi- cial sale, to receive a bid, as in England, privately. On the contrary, the prao ' ' e bis been to bave the property re-offered for sale, and treat the advance offer made aa a bid at the sale. Perhaps I ought to say something about the purchaser. I think a purchaser at a judicial sale may be said to be clothed ■with some rights -when he makea a bid for the property, and the hammer falls, and the bid accepted by the master or receiver. True, the rights which exist in him are subject to the action of the court ; but that action depends upon the gen- erai principles and usages of law. It cannot be said that it is a discretion which is merely arbitrary on the part of the court, or capricious; but it must aot upon well-settled and generally-recognized principles of equity in cases of this kind, and, if it disregard those principles, the rights of the purchaser can ordinarily be protected in another court. So that the bid- der certainly has rights which can be protected by a court of equity. I therefore advise that the order of the district court shall stand confirming the sale. KoTB. See Blackburn t.

It is claimed that his discharge, when granted upon such a petition and adjudica- tion, applies to and releases him only from his individual debts, and does not release him from his partnership obliga- tion. Much support for such a proposition is, doubtless, found in a number of the adjudged cases, {In re Little, 1 N. B. E, 341; In re Sheppard, 3 N. B. E. 172; Hudgins v. Lane, 11 N. B. E. 462; Cary v.

E. 147;) and I have so much respect for the opinion of the learned judges who have thus held that I have, with great care and consideration, examined the grounda on which they have founded their judgment, and regret that I am unable to reach the same conclusion. There are difficulties, I confess, in the matter growing ont of the provisions of the bankrupt aot, and the general orders in regard to proceedings in the case of partnership; but, not stopping to set forth in detail the reasons for my opinion, I think that Judge Lowell, in Wilkim v. Davis, 15 N. B. E. 60, has correctly stated the law, and indioated the proper prac- tice, and that it is the duty of the bankrupt in such cases to include in his schedules his interest in partnership property, as well as his individual assets. The second reason assigned is that only such property as is assignable should be included in a bankrupt's schedules, and the suit in question, being an action in tort, is not assign- able, and wcald not pass to the assignee in bankruptcy. Section 5016 of the Eevised Statutes, in referring to the sehedule and inventory which the voluntary bankrupt must annex to his petition, provides that "the said inventory must contain an accurate statement of ail the petitioner's estate, both real and personal, assignable under this title, deseribing the same, and stating where it is situated, and whether there are any, and, if so, what encumbrances thereon."

The specifications describe minutely the improvements, and are accompanied with drawings illustrating the construc- tion of a furnace with them. The principal feature of the improvements consists in placing the fire-place on the side of the body of the furnace several feet from its bottom, sepa- rated from the chamber in whioh the ores are deposited by grate bars called a pigeon-hole partition, and having on the opposite side of the chamber, a little higher up than the fire- place, a discharge or draft opening faced with a similar pigeon- hole partition, though of greater capacity than the gratings of the fire-place. A cross draft is thus produced, subjectint; the ores, as is said, to a greater beat than if the draft were vertical, and the fumes passed out at or near the top of the furnace. Another feature of the improvements consists in the graduai contraction in width of the furnace towards the bottom, with an incline which conveys the refuse ore to a floor, from which it can be readily removed by hand or machinery. A third feature of the improvements consists in having a small door at the upper end of the furnace, through which the ore is passed into the chamber; and, if the chamber is kept filled, the ore will constantly settle towards the bottom, and aa it passes between the fire-place and draft opening be thoroughly roasted, and the vapors carried off through the draft opening and down a vertical pipe into the condenser. The specifications also describe an alleged im- provement in the condenser; but, as this improvement was not pressed on the argument, it need not be further noticed. The claims made upon these improvements, omitting the one in relation to the condenser, are : (1) Placing the fire- place and draft opening on opposite sides of the body of the furnace, so as to draw the heat through the passing ore, sub- atantially as described.

They only applied what was well known and used in other furnaces to a quicksilver furnace. There is also evidence in this case— not presented, as I am informed, in the Great Western Mining Case — of the exist- ence and use at varions places in Europe of continuously- working quicksilver furnaces anterior to the complainants* invention. Professor Church, a gentleman shown to be exten- sively acquainted with furnaces îox roasting and smelting ores, testifies to having seen several of them in operation there. It may be and probably is true that the complain- ants were the first persons in this country to put into opera- tion a continuously-working quicksilver furnace; but they are not the originatora of the idea of a furnace of that kind. As to the first claim — for the cross draft with the pigeon- hole partitions, or receding arches — it is sufficient to say that the defendants are not using those devices, and have not used them, or what can be regarded as an equivalent for them. They are not, therefore, infringers. The fire-plaoe in their furnace has no pigeon-hole partition, and is near the bottom of the furnace. They bave no cross draft, but use a vertical draft, such as is employed in all other furnaces where an outlet is desired for the fumes of the subject con- sumed or heated. This case has been heard upon evidence more extended than that presented in the case of the Great Western Mining Co., and much new information as to quicksilver and other furnaces previously used has been furnished. The case has been prepared and presented by counsel on both sides with a fuUness and learning worthy of all admiration It will not probably rest here, but find its way to the supreme court of the United States, where all errors of mine will be corrected. The improvements of the complainants, in my judgment, liave not becu infringed by the defendant.

The act of 1790, which, so far as it is reproduced in the above- mentioned sections of the Eevised Statutes, is wholly unaf- fected by the act of June 9, 1874, provides that "as soon as the voyage is ended, and the cargo or ballast is fully dis- charged at the last port of deliverj', he (the seaman) shall be entitled to the wages which shall then be due." This provis- ion is absoliite. There is no exception in the case of service of an attacement. It does not say the seaman or his cred- iter. But the statute proceeds, (section 4546 :) "Whenever the wages of any seaman are not paid within 10 days after the time when the same ought to be paid, or any dispute arises between the master and seaman touching wages, the district judge of the judicial district where the vessel is * * * may summon the master to appear before him to show cause why process should not issue against such vessel, her taokle, apparel, and furniture, according to the course of admiralty courts, to answer for the wages." Section 4547. "If the master against whom such summons is issued neg- lects to appear, or, appearing, does not show that the wages are paid, or otherwise satisfied or forfeited, and if the mat- ter in dispute is not forthwith settled, the judge shall certify to the clerk of the district court that there is suiiScient cause of complaint whereon to found admiralty process, and there- upon the clerk of such court shall issue process against the vessel, and the suit shall be proceeded on in the court, and final judgment shall be given, according to the usual course of admiralty courts in such cases." By this provision every seaman is given a statutory right, in every case of subtraction of his wages, to have the master of the vessel summoned to show cause why process should not issue against the vessel, and jurisdiction is given to the district judge of any district where the vessel may be to so Bummon the master.

Hare but McCarty is a party libellant. Of course, the attach- ment issued at the instance of the crediter of Hare against Hare's wages is no bar to the proceeding so far as McCarty is concerned, and if this answer prevail these owners will be harassed by two suits — one at the instance of Eddy, for Hare's wages in the second district court of Bristol county, and the other by McCarty here ; and further liable, for aught I know, to as many other suits as there were members of the crew; while Hare must bear the expense of one suit and McCarty of another, and this in the face of a statute of the United States declaring that there shall be but one suit, in which ail the crew shall be joined as complainants. These provisions of the act of 1790 net only furnish strong evidence that at that early day wages of seamen were understood to be exempt from attachment, but they are wholly inconsistent with the existence of a right on the part of a creditor to attach a seaman's wages in an action at law, and therefore seem to compel the conclusion that such attachments are not allowed by the laws of the United States. The same conclusion is arrived at from an application, to the peculiar contract of the mariner, of the prinoiples of the common law invoked by courts of law in cases of garnishment. Garnishment is said to be, in eiïect, a suit by the defendant in the plaintifï's name without the defendant's concurrence, and, indeed, in opposition to his will. Drake on Attachments, § 461. It is well settled that garnishment cannot have the effect of changing the nature of the contract, and it does not lie where its effect will be to allow a creditor of the principal debtor to enforce a contract in a manner different from its legal effect and the agreement of the parties. Sawyer v. Thomp- son, 4 Foster, 515. If these principles be applied to the sea- men's contract, it will be found necessary, as I think, to declare that the wages due a seaman constitute a demand of such a character that the law forbids an attachment of them in au action at law. "The contract of hire formariners stands on reasons pecu- liar to itself." Ware, J., in The Elizaheth and Jane, 1 AVare, 85.

Says Cliief Justice Taney: "The seamen as a matter of riglii are entitled to the process of the court to enforce . payment proraptly in order that they may not be left penniless and •without means of support ; and the right to this remedy is as well and firmly established as the right to the paraniount lien. No court of common law can enforce or displace this lien. It bas no jurisdiction over it, nor any right to obstruct or interfere with the lien or the remedy which is given to the seamen. Taylor v. Carryl, 20 How. 601. Again : "Courts of law cannot undertake, by gamishment, to settle the equities between the parties in order to subjee't an equitable demand which the defendant may have against the garnishee to the payment of the defendant's debt." Drake on Attachments, e57. The contract of the mariner is an equitable contraet, and it gives rise to equitable rights not capable of being preserved by a court of common law. One of these is the right to submit the terms of the contract to be scrutinized, and, if necessary, reformed, by a court of equity before it be enforced. This right the mariner may waive by electing to enforce his contract as it is, in a court of common iaw; but such a waiver cannot be effected against his will by the act of a creditor in attaching his wages. To permit that would be to deprive the seaman of a substantial right without any consideration. The reality and importance of this right of the mariner will be made to appear by referring to a few familiar passages selected out of many to the same effect. Sprague, J., says: The court "scrutinizes all contracts re- specting seamen's wages in order to see that advantage bas not been taken of their necessities, ignorance, or thoughtlesa imprudence." The Bark Rajah, 1 Sprague, 199. "In all mar- itime countries seamen are privileged to go in their own pecu- liar courts, whose course and form of proceeding are adapted to the direct and guileless character of the sailors." Ware, J., 2 Davies, 118, The Betsy and Rhody. A court of admiralty, "within its jurisdiction, acts upon the liberal, enlarged priiici- ples of a court of equity, and especially it does so in dealing with the contract between the seamen and owners."

It is in its own nature as perfectly a joint or partnership interest as can be oonceived. Tbese opinions expressed are not new." Ware, J., The Brig Spar- tan, 1 Ware, 139. But it bas been beld that when a gar- nishee was sought to be charged on the ground that he was indebted to the defendant in respect of a partnership which had existed between them, but the accounts of which had not been settled, the proceeding could not be sustained. Burn- ham V. Hophinson, 17 N. H. 259. Whether, in this pres- ent case, the freight eamed by these seamen bas been col- lected or not, we do not know. If the freight bas not been collected, the seaman must lose his interest in it, if the gar- nishment of the owner's debt for the wages holds good. If it bas been collected, it is held by the owners in trust for the seaman pro tanto. And, inasmuch as the trust cannot be enforced in the second district court of Bristol county, to uphold the attachment ia to overthrow the trust. "Garnish- ment can bave no efifect to overthrow trusts." Drake on Attachments, § 454A. In regard to the garnishment of a legacy, which is a sum of money payable out of the estate, subject to chancery juris- diction, where the executer is treated as trustee of the estate for the benefit of those interested in it, it bas been held to be exempt from attachment, because of the great inconvenience and manifest incongruity attending the appli- cation of the law of garnishment in such cases. "Seamen are emphatically the wards of the admiralty, and, although not technically incapable of entering into a valid contraet, they are treated in the same manner as courts of equity are accustomed to treat young heirs dealing with their expectan- cies, and ccstui que trusts with their trustees." Story, 3.^ Harnden v. Gordon, 2 Mason, 541. The rightsof seamen, by virtue of the contraet of liire, are those of a cestui que trust, of a mortgagee, of. a part owner of the freight.

Long Dock, Jersey City. The tide was ebb. The Bowen and the scow proceeded down the East river to the Battery, and rounded the Battery. At a point about opposite pier 1, North river, and about 300 yards distant from the New York ahore, the bow of the boat Centennial, which was being towed by the steam-tug L. P. Dayton on the starboard side of the Day- ton, and was going down the North river, came into collision with the bow of the said scow Number Four, and the effect was that the Centennial sank. On the foregoing facts I find, as a conclusion of law, that, as the libel alleges that the scow was in fault in partioulara specified in the libel, and as the answer of the claimant of the scow denies each and every allegation in the libel charg- ing or imputing any fault or negligence to the scow or the Bowen, or those in charge thereof, and as no facts are proved in the case as against the scow except the foregoing facts admitted by said answer, and the libellant has proved no negligence or fault on the part of the scow, the libel must ba dismissed as to the scow, with eosts to her in this court, and with $23.25 costs to her in the district court against the libellant. The answer of the Dayton alleges that this collision was wholly caused by the fault of those on board and in charge of the Bowen and the scow, "as alleged in the libel." This admission by the Dayton certainly can bave no effect to throw on the Dayton, as between her and the libellant, any burden of showing fault in the Bowen and the scow. The libellant and the Dayton agree that there was fault in the Bowen and the scow.

An interlocutory decree and order of reference were then entered on their default. Shortly after the said process was issued it was discovered that the libel, though swqrn to, had not been signed except by the proctors as proctors. It was then Bjgned, without permission of the court, by one of the proctors in behalf of the libellant, who had sworn to it as attorney in fact. Subsequently, on October lôth, on affidavit of one of the proctors, setting forth that when the said process was served the garnishee had no credits or efïeets of the respondent, but that it now holds such credits and effects acquired since that time, an alias process was dîreeted by the court to issue, and an attachaient, was again levied by themarshal on. the credits and effects of the respondent in the hands of the garnishee.

He served as engineer and fireman. The promise to pay the libellant $100 a month is prOved, but the claimant has attempted to show that he was so intoxicated when he made the promise that he did not know what he was doing. I think the weight of the testimony is against the claimant on this point, and the libellant is entitled to recover his wages at that rate. His wages amount to $2,030 between September 1, 1877, and February 11, 1879. He admits that the claimant is entitled to credits, which reduce the amount to $810.29, for which sum, with interest from February 11, 1879, with costs, the libellant is entitled to a deeree.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 0n0nfwvl6cj7oa195t6nw5o74iwzj4h Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/866 104 644369 15135142 14561211 2025-06-14T22:28:26Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EPORTEB → EPORTER, removed: � (6) 15135142 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>852 , % FEDERAL JBEPORTER. , . the jurisdiction ,of this court :set ont the fact, in substance, that one G. B. Maury had oti the tbird instant, set on foot a suit in the said chancery court of Eichmond, and exhibited his bill there against the defendajnt company and Blakey, the trustee, for purposes similar to those sought by the proceed- ing in this court. It has been shown that in neither of the two suits in the chancery court of Eichmond has the cause proceeded to issue; that those suits are still at rules; that that court has not appointed a receiver or taken custody of the res,^that is to say, the effects of the defendant company, — or made any order by whioh it took cognizance or assumed jurisdiction of the controversy between the parties to the re- spective suits; and that the parties there are not the same as the parties to the suit here. It bas been ehpwn that the nature and objecta of the suits in the chancery court of Eich- mond are different fronj those of the suit here. The Maury bill is filed in his own name 9,]one, although he asks for all proper accounts, for a receiver, and that all creditors may be ascertained, the f und colieeted and distributed, and the deed set aside. It asks for a personal decree for the amount Maury has paid the company, on the ground that it hasfor- feited its contract by refusing to give him a paid-up pçilicy in «xchange for his originalpqlicy. It makes the company and the trustee alone parties' defendant, although leave is asked to make all the directors.çind stockholders parties hereafter when their names shaU be ascertained. The Blakey bill, a copy of which is filed in this court, though the original is not yet filed in the chancery court of Eichmond, asks the assistance of the court to carryinto efifect the provisions of the trust deed. On the other hand, the suit in this court asks, in the name of the complainants and of all creditors who may corne in, for the special and general relief usually asked in creditors' bills, that the trust deed shall be set aside, that the funds be colieeted and distributed, and that a receiver be appointed; and it makes the company, the trus- tee, and the stockholders all parties defendant.

The note recited on its face that it was given for part of the purchase priee of the Glade mines, in Hall county, Georgia. Uponthis note the defendant paid, on December 81, 1878, the sum of $5,000 principal, and all the interest due up to that date ; and, by an indorsement made on the mortgage by the payee of said note, the time for the payment of the note was extended to January 1, 1880. The bill alleged that in January, 1879, Henry Irby, the payee of said note, assigned said note and mortgage to the complainant Eoyal B. Hicks, and delivered the same to the complainant Sarah Jane Hicks, who was his daughter, as an advancement to her out of his estate, and the same was then and there accepted by her as such; that on February 20, 1879, said Henry Irby departed this life, and afterwards, on April 7, 1879, John F. Irby, who was a son, and C. L. Walker, who was a son-in-law, of said Henry Irby, for the purpose of carrying out the wishes of said Henry Irby in ref- erence to said note, signed a transfer of all their interest in the same to complainant Eoyal B. Hicks, and authorized him to reçoive the money due on the same. The considera- tion of tbis transfer by John F. Irby and Walker was an agreement on the part of Sarah Jane Hicks to accept said note as an advancement, and account for the same in the final settlement of Henry Irby 's estate; and the complainants, Hicks and wife, agreed to pay over to John F. Irby, and to C. L. Walker, for his wife, Agnes Walker, $10,000 belonging to the estate of Henry Irby, then on deposit in a bauk in the city of Atlanta. Of tbis sum $5,000 was actually paid on July 18, 1879. The defence relied on is stated substantially as follows: On April 27, 1877, the defendant entered into a contract in writing with the said Henry Irby for the purchase of cer- tain mining lands in Georgia, then owned by said Irby. There were two tracts in Hall county, known respectively as the Glade mines and Cbapman mines, each containing 1,000 acres, and lying contiguous to each other, and all designated as the Glade mines in said contract ; and lot No. 133 of the<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ke6yvs6g8r4drhazo354o0ekncqq9b2 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/872 104 644376 15135144 8173247 2025-06-14T22:28:28Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (8) 15135144 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>858 FEDERAL REPORTER. from its being true that said lot contained a valuaMe silver mine, there was not a trace of silver or other precious metal to be found upon said land, and, so far from its being worth $15,000 or $20,000, it was not worth more thanthree dollars an acre, — in the aggregate about $600; and he claims that thence, by reason of said fraud, there should be no decree for complainants on said note and mortgage. D. F. Hammond and W. B. Hammond, for complainants. J. B. Estes, Claude Estes, and L. J. Gartrell, for defend- ant. Woods, C. J. The eTidence leaves no doubt that Henry Irby, in his treaty with Jennings for a sale of the lands, men- tioned in the answer of defendant, fraudulently misrepre- eented the value of lot 133 in Fulton county. The fact that a careful examination of the lot, and an assay of ores found Bpon it, shows that not a trace of any precious metal exists upon it, stamps the statements made by Irby to Jennings, in reference to its value, with falsehood and fraud. So far from being worth $15,000 or $20,000, on account of the depos- its of silver to be found on it, as asserted by Irby, it is not worth over $500 or $600. Irby must have known that his representation was false, for he told Jennings that he had procured an assay of the ore taken by himself from the lot to be made, and that it proved to be rich in silver. The evi- dence shows that the lot 133 formed at least a third of the entire consideration given for ail the lands sold by Irby to Jennings. If this suit were prosecuted by Irby, and if it were based on a note given for the purchase priee of lot 133, there could be no question that the defence set up in the answer and established by the proof, showing the wilful fraud and misrepresentation of Irby, ought to prevail. But the suit is for f oreelosiire of a mortgage, exeeuted to secure a note, given, as expressed on its face, for the purchase money of the Glade mines, and it is prosecuted, not by Irby, but by one of his beirs, to whom he transferred the note in his life-time, and who, at the time of the fcransfer and since his death, has agreed to consider it as an advancement on his share of his father's estate, •:<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ktd2truawneu6r5d6s2926zc0p78hwu Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 4.djvu/874 104 644378 15135145 14561205 2025-06-14T22:28:29Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PEDEEA → FEDERA, removed: � (7) 15135145 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>860 FEDERAL REPOSTBB. suit to foreclose were proseouted by Irby, be set up against his heirs and distributees ? The transfer of the note by Henry Irby in his life-time to Sarah Jane Hicks, his daughter, was not for value ; it was a mere gif t. The rule is that a nego- tiable instrument, in order to be operative in the hands of an indorsee as against equities and defences existing between the maker and payee^ must have been taken by the indorsee for value; that is, he must have parted with something valu- able therefor at the time of the transfer. Park Bank v. Wat- son, 42 N. Y. 490. Neither Sarah Jane Hicks nor her husband, Royal B. Hicks, paid anything for the note at the time of its transfer by Henry Irby. They parted with nothing of value as a con- sideration for the transfer. The same defences against the note were therefore open to the maker as if it had remained in the hands of the original payee. The agreement made between Hicks and wife, and the other heirs and distributees of Irby's estate, after Irby's death, did not change the terms on whioh Hicks and wife had received the transfer of the note and mortgage. They agreed to consider them as an advance- ment, and they had received them from Henry Irby as an advancement. The oontract between them and the other heirs and distributees provided that in case of any recovery against the estate of Henry Irby, reducing the distributive shares of the heirs, they, the said heirs, would "refund their pro rata shares of such recovery to an extent sufEcient to save indemnified and harmless the legatees of said estate, and make all parties interested therein equal." A fair con- struction of this oontract would require, in case of a faiiure to collect the note in suit by reason of the defences set up, the answer that the residue of the estate should be equally divided between all the distributees, so as to give each an equal share. In any view that may be taken, the complainants neither paid nor surrendered anything of value for the trans- fer of the note and mortgage. The same defences are there- fore open to the maker of the note as if the suit were prose- cuted by Henry Irby in person.

Railhoads — Fence Law— Cattle-Guakds.— The ordinary fence laws of Tennessee do not apply to railroad companies, and there is neither a common-Iaw nor statutory obligation on them to construct or main- tain cattle-guards for the protection of crops growing on the culti- vated lands through which their roads pass. Neither was the act of 1875, c. 64, intended to apply to railroad companies, although the land on which the track is built is within " one general enclosure," made by joining the fences of the farmer to the cattle-guards of the railroad. These laws were intended for adjoining land owners engaged in agriculture, who are mutually benefited as well as bound by them. 4. Same— Implibd Cokteact. — In the absence of a contract, or charter obligation, or some statutory duty to maintain cattle-guards, none will be implied from the fact that the company bas constructed them along the line of road where it enters and leaves cultivated flelds, unless the lapse of time has raised the presumption of a grant or coveuant.

Id. 28. This would seem to preclude the idea of one having a cause of action against another for trespasses by one's own cattle on one's own land or crops, unless there be some extraordi- nary liability, growing ont of other obligations than those imposed upon adjoining land owners towards each other. Mr. Addison says that the making of a fence by a land owner does not raise any inference that the fence was intended for the benefit of his neighbor, although the fence prevents his neighbor's beasts from trespassing as well as his own, for it is for his own beneiît to prevent his beasts from trespassing on his neighbor. 1 Add. Torts, (4th Ed.) 149. And, where statutes or self-interest require him to protect his land with fences from straying cattle, still less can there be any infer- ence from the mere building of the fence that there is an im- plied contraet to maintain it for the benefit of his neighbor who happons to be protected by it. There may be, unques- tionably, a valid prescription binding the owner of land to maintain perpetually the fence between him and the adjoin- ing proprietor, but, in the absence of some covenant or grant, this servitude can only be established, like other prescrip- tions, by long-continued, peaceable, and uninterrupted enjoy- ment for the length of time necessary to raise the presump- tion of a grant or covenant. Id. and notes; Id. 96, and notes. The petitioner here might, in consideration of her grant of the right of way, have imposed this obligation on the Com- pany, or she might have demanded as a consideration money enough to cover the costs of the necessary fences in the changed condition of her fields; but, not having used this pre- caution, she cannot supply the want of it by any implication of a contraet imposing the obligation. An American railway company is not bound to fence its railway, as an American farmer is bound to fence his fields, and in the absence of statutes imposing the obligation it does not exist.

The rule is harsh, and there would, perhaps, be a reœedj in equity; but, unfortunately, the value of a cow, or of a little f urniture, is too Blight to bear the expanse of such a proceeding.

If the plaintilï took the goods by replevin, he must account for their value after paying his debt; and if he recovered the whole in trover, he must immediately pay the surplus to the defendants. 1 have little doubt that the contract was thus written, or that the form which was followed was adopted for the very purpose of avoiding the injustice which might folio w from an enforcenlent of the strict rule of the common law.

I may say, under the former administration ôf the criminal practice, and in many of the states now, the district attorney prepares his indictments prior to the sitting of the grand jury, and submits the paper thus prepared, or the separate and dis- tinct counts, if he has more than one, with the offenees f ully described, and the grand jury ignores the whole indictment, or several of the counts thereof, and returns such portions of it as they think may be established by the testimony ; but such is not the pradtice of the United States courts; as I under- stand it. This clause only relates to the procedure and punishment; and, while it limits the number of offenees which may ba joined, it doea not, as in some of the English statutes, pro- vide what -the procedure shall be in case the limit should be exceeded, or what the consequences of exceeding the limit should be upon the rights either of the government or of the defendant, It is claimed, however, that the eiïect of it is to make the indictment absolutely worthless and void. If that be so, then this indictment must either be quashed or held bad upon demurrer. Let us see whether this is the inevitable effect of this statute. At common law there could be no joinder of separate and distinct felonies. That was as well established, at one period at least of the administration of the criminal law, as if there had been an express statute forbidding the joinder of separate and distinct felonies in the Same indict- ment. And yet it was never supposed that the joinder of several felonies destroyed the validity of the indictment. While the courts -would not permit the party to be tried for two or more felonies in the same indictment, they would not quash the indictment, but would compel the prosecutor to elect the felony he would prooeed to trial upon. The rule is laid down in Wharton, § 216.

Where the utility is proved to exist in any degree, a sufficiency of invention to support the patent must be presumed. We do not say the single fact that a device has gone into general use, and bas displaced other devices which had previoiisly been employed for analogous uses, establishes in ail cases that the later device involves a patentableinvention. It may, however, always be considered; and, when the other facts in the case leave the question in doubt, it is suffieient to turn the scale." So in Eppinger v. Riche y, le Blatchf. 307, Judge Shipman said: "Two facts exist in this case: one is that an impor- tant improvement bas been attained; the second is that the improvement is in a staple article which bas been manufac- tured in this country for a long series of years. * * * The utility pf the patented article bas been evinced by its largesales. * * The inventer evidently gave to the public an article which: it wanted, and which it had not previously known. Without giving to the general use of the invention as a test of its patentability any greater importance than the supreme court in the case of Smith v. Goodyear Dental Vulcanite Co. (above quoted) indicate sbould be given to this circumstance, I am of the opinion that the facts in the case fully establish the conclusions : (1) That however simple the change in the method of manufacture apparently may bave been.yet it was a change which required invention for its accomplishment ; and (2) that the improvement resulting from the cbanged method of manufacture bas been so great that the article which is produeed is, within the meaning of the patent aots, a new and useful article of manufacture." Mr. Justice Shepley said, in the case of Isaacs v. Ahrams, 14 0. G. 862 : "A change in the form of a machine or instru- ment, though slight, if it works a successful resuit, not before accomplished in a similar way, in the art to which it is ap- plied, or in any other, is patentable."

There was nothing new in Glid- den's last patent, and no room for the claim of invention in the wire therein provided: In the suits brought by the Washbum & Moen Manufac- turing Company and Isaac L. Elwood against Haish, the defendant is charged with infringement of the Hunt patent, the Smith patent, and the two Glidden patents. As already said, we consider the Smith patent and the last Glidden patent as unworthy of further consideration in connection with this case. The proof shows that the defendant Haish manufactured a twisted fence wire, armed with a wire barb eut diagonally, so as to leave the points sharp, and which is bent in the form of an S, so as to clasp both wires and extend the sharp points in opposite directions from the wire. Defendant claims that even if the Hunt, Kelly, and Glid- den patents are valid, he does not infringe, because his barb dififers easentially from the barb of either of the complain- ants' patents mainly in the fact that it cannot be used except in combination with a wire of at least two strands. Assum- ing the validity of the re-issue of Hunt, Kelly, and Glidden, there can be no doubt that Haish infringes Hunt's claim for "a fence wire provided with spurs" or barbs. It also in- fringes Kelly's idea of a rigid or fixed barb, held in place by the twisting of two wires together ; and Glidden's barb, made by bending a short piece of wire around the fence wire so as to leave the two sharp ends projecting to form the spurs or barbs i Glidden's device for forming the barb is undoubtedly a very simple one, and rests very close to the border line be- tween mechanical skill and invention. After Hunt had made barbs by cutting sheet meta! into stars, or spur-pcrinted wheels, to be strung upon the wire by a hole through the'mid- dle, the points of the spurs boing neoessarily obtained by cut- ting the metal diagonally at the periphery of his wheel, and<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> j230lxbv658g3lyzg6w88e5btmdfwtt Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/6 104 645647 15135243 8173876 2025-06-14T22:30:03Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EEPO → REPO, removed: � (112) 15135243 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>VI CASES REPOIiTED.

But Hawkett did not apply for the removal, and although he has now no interest in the subject-matter of the suit, and mightj therefore, be regarded as a mere nominal party, still, as it is claimed that he is personally liable to the plaintifï in this suit, upon bis alleged promise to pay the debts assumed by Hawkett & Kobinson at the time they purchased the property, it -wiU be assumed that the cause was not removable under the first clause of the section. The second clause of the section has not been passed upon by the supreme court, but in Taylor v. Rockefdler, 18 Law Eeg. 301, Mr. Justice Strong expresses the opinion that under this clause, whenever, in a suit mentioned in the section, there is a controversy, even if it is not the main controversy therein, which is wholly between citizens of different states, and whioh ca,n be fully determined as between them, then any one of the plaintiffs or defendants actually interested in such con- troversy may remove the suit into the circuit court. He says : "The right of removal is given where any one of those controversies is wholly between citizens of different states, and can be fully determined as between them, though there may be other defendants actually interested in other contro- versies embraced in the suit. The clause, 'a controversy which can be fully determined as between them,' read in connection with the other words, 'actually interested in such controversy,' implies that there may be other parties to the suit, and even necessary parties, who are not entitled to ' remove it. • • * Indeed, according to the literal reading of the statute, (a reading quite in harmony with the constitu- tion,) the right of removal and the jurisdiction of this court exist, though the controversy between the plaintiffs and defendants, who are the petitioners for the removal, be not the main controversy in the case. » • * A.nd there is no necessary embarrassment attending such removal.

It is claimed, on the part of the original defendant, that this case is likô that of The St. Louis, Alton e Terre Haute R. Co. V. The Indianapolis d St. Louis R. Co. 12 Leg. News, 73, and therefore that case, in principle, decides this, because it was there held that the federal court had jurisdiction. That was an original bill filed by a corporation of the state of Illinois against corporations of Indiana and Pennsylvania, the Indiana corporations being Consolidated, it is true, with a corporation of Illinois, the plaintiff in the suit. This is not a suit brought by a New York corporation, an integral part of this Consolidated company, against an Illinois corpo- ration, but it is a suit brought by an lUinois corporation against another Illinois corporation, an integral part of a Consolidated company of which the New York corporation also constitutes a part. It may be that where there is a consolidation under the laws of different states of the corpo- rations of those states operating a railroad, that one of the corporations can file a bill in equity in the federal court for the protection and maintenance of its own interests against another corporation, part of the Consolidated company, and created by a different state from that of the plaintiff. But that is not this case. It cannot be said that this is a contro- versy wholly between citizens of different states, because it is a controversy between two citizens of Illinois, each being a corporation of Illinois, and therefore it is a controversy in part only between the corporation plaintiff and the corpora-. tion defendant that seeks the removal of the cause. Neither is this case like that of The Northwestern Ry. Co. V. The Chicago e Pacific R. Co. 7 Leg. News, 57, where the plaintiff, although Consolidated with a corporation of Illinois, sued as a corporation of Wisconsin. The principle contended for, as I understand, by the de- fendant in the original suit, amounts to this : That, because a person is sued in a state court by a citizen of that state, and a citizen of another state is jointly interested with the<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 91tn6z1n6xahtfltav80rgi5s4f9uni Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/36 104 645680 15135198 8173610 2025-06-14T22:29:20Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (7) 15135198 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>2e FEDERAL REPORTER. cause of action to the present plaintiff, who was substituted upon the record as plaintiff, and, being a citizen of Colorado, thereafter moved for and obtained an order of removal on the ground of the citizenship of the parties. It is conceded that, unless the case presents a federal ques- tion, — of which I will speak presently, — the plaintiff could not have brought his suit originally in this court ; but it is insisted that, inasmuch as the second section of the act above named, which provides for the removal of causes from the state to the federal courts, does not contain the prohibition against Buits by assignees, a case of this character may be brought here by rismoval, The somewhat analogous sections of the judi- ciary act of 1789 (sections 11 and 12) were considered by the supreme court in Bushnell v. Kennedy, 9 Wall. 387. In that case the Jiourt said : "The restriction in the eleventh section is not found in the twelfth ; nor does the reason for the restric- tion exist. In the eleventh section its office was to prevent frauds upon the jurisdictipn, and vexation of defendants, by assignments made for the purpose of having suits brought in the name of assignees, but in reality for the benefit of assignors. In the twelfth it would have no office, for the removal of suits could not operate as a fraud on jurisdiction, and was a privi- lege of defendants, not a hardship upon them." It is manifest that this reasoning has no application to the act of March 3, 1875, which gives the right of removal to either party. Under the judiciary act, inasmuch as the privi- lege of removal belonged only to the defendant, it was, as the supreme court well said, impossible for plaintiffs to perpetrate frauds upon the jurisdiction by assigning claims to non-resi- dents for the purpose of having suit brought in the state court and removed thence to the federal courts. A plaintiff could not romove a case under that act. But, under the act of 1876, since either party may remove, it is evident that great frauds upon our jurisdiction may be perpetrated with impunity, if the assignee of any claim founded on contract may insti- tute suit in a state court, and at once remove the cause to this court.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 25vvgdycc9y07j8pf4pqkocpp1jhvme Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/38 104 645682 15135203 8173631 2025-06-14T22:29:25Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDSBAL → FEDERAL , DERAL BE → DERAL RE, OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (5) 15135203 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>26 FEDERAL REFORTER. so stated in the petiiion for removal, but we are not bound by that statement. We are at liberty to look into the record and determine from that what the oontroversy is, and whether it involves a federal question. The plaintiff here sues to re- cover taxes erroneously levied and collected by the authorities of Douglas county. The statute of the state gives the right of action. No question under any act of congress can arise. The fact that there is a decree of this court establishing the invalidity of the taxes in question does not change the char- acter of the suit. That decree is simply an item of evidence in the case,, and its conclusiveness, its construction, or its effect does not require the construction of any law of the United States. We do not decide upon the question whether this case was "brought" in the district court of Douglas county within the meaning of the first section of the act of 1875. It was instituted as a claim against the county, presented to and prosecuted to a decision before the board of county com- missioners of that county, from whose decision rejecting the claim an appeal was prosecuted to the district court. Thea© facts present a question of some doubt as to whether the suit was "brought" — that is, instituted, commenced — in the district ' court; and if it was not, it was not removable. But the con- clusions reached upon the other points in the case render a decision of this question unnecessary.

Instead of an indorsement of the title of the'statute giving the penalty, the indorsement to bejnade is a general reference to the statute, and in the foUowing fqrm : "According to the provisioris of the statute regulating the rate ofinterest on money," etc.j as the case may require, or in some other general terras referring to such statute. This change is more apparent than real. By embodying ail gen- erai laws then in force in a few new acts, constituting together the Eevised Statutes, each of these new acts embracing a great number of existing prior statutes, a reference in the indorsement to the title of the new act would not give the information designed by the act of 178-8 to be conveyed to the defendant Bued. Instead, thei'efore, of referring to the title, the new provision is, in substance, that reference shall be made to that portion of the Eevised Statutes in which the the former act re-appears, or to such other statute as might subsequently be enacted under which the action is brought. The penalties on the clerk for issuing such defective process, and on the plaintifE for suing it out, seem not to have been re-enacted in the Eevised Statutes ; at least, I have not been able to discover them there. But the requirement of an in- dorsement was still continued, and has never been repealed. Having reference to the origin of this requirement, and the title and provisions of the law of 1788 by which it appears to have originated, .and espeoially the penalties imposed for a failure thua to indorse the process, it is seen that by that law the suing out of such process was an unlawful act, a statutory<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 5jotmwjyon1oy0kh44nen35xc4xutxi Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/72 104 645719 15135264 14627000 2025-06-14T22:30:23Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, j' → y , EEPO → REPO, POBTER → PORTER, removed: � (13) 15135264 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>60 FEDERAL REPORTER. from consenting to the discharge.

This gum being composed of oil required much time to dry ; otherwise, if varnished before it was dry, it would shrink in drying, and crack and displace the varnish. Thia was the process of finishing all the ordinary work. The finer quality of work, known as 'hand-polish finish,' required to be varnished with from three to five coats of what is known as «craping varnish, which, when dry, was scraped off with a cabinet-maker's steel scraper, leaving none of the many coats of varnish on the work, except that in the grains of the word below the surface, after which from three to five Coats of pol- ishing varnish were applied ; then the work was rubbed down with pumice stone and water, and polished up with rotton etone and the hand ; the palm of the hand bringing the pol- ish up. This process is the same as heretofore used by all the piano makers in the country." The invention, and the difficulties which it was intended to obviate, are thus described in the specification: "Heretofore various materials have been used to fiU the grain in processes of finishing woods, such as pulverized mari, clay, flour, chalk, starch, and different gums ; but all are found to have objection- able features in use, which my new process is designed to obvi- ate. In some of the substances employed the particles, when powdered, are round or spherical, and without angles, and con- eequently do not readily adhere to each other and unite with the pores of the wood, and others are wanting in durability, and subject to injurions atmospheric action. I am also aware that various forms of infuaorial silicates have been used in mixtures for filling the grain of wood, but these are all very powerful absorbents of liquids, and carry the moisture by the quality of their capillarity into the wood itself, which has to be removed by evaporation before the varnish can be applied to the surface of the wood, and which opens the pores when said moisture is evaporated, and prevents it from being solid-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 2mbyjmxhobzdcimsiu2hwwq293amarn Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/79 104 645726 15135274 14560876 2025-06-14T22:30:35Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, removed: � (9) 15135274 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>BBIDGKPORT WOOD FINISHINO CO.

This earth being often found in large quantities, and then the superior qualities it has in polishing and filling wood, render it of great value to the cabinet maker, carriage maker, and others in similar occupations. "Now, having described my invention, what I daim as new, and desire to secure by letters patent, is : First, the use of silicious mari or inf usorial earth for the purpose of filling and polishing wood, substantially as herein set f orth ; and, second, the combination of silicious mari with any or all of the sub- stances herein named, sulphate of zinc, muriate of ammonia, gum arable, gum tragacanth, and oil, substantially in the manner and for the purpose herein set forth." The Perry article, as described in bis patent, is not now used, and, in my opinion, is not valuable. The theory of the defendants is this : Flint and quartz are chemically silica, more or less pure, or what is known to chemists as silicic acid. Feldspar is a silicate of alumina and potash, and contains silica in large proportions. Quartz and flint contain from 85 to 100 per cent, pure silica. Infu- Borial earth is a fine-grained earth, formed by the deposition of the silicious coatings or shells of microscopic plants called infusoria, on the bottom of ponds or lakes of water, and is lifostly silica mixed with carbonate of lime and other impu- rities. Silicious mari is a mixture of clay and carbonate of lime and silica in the form of sand or infiisorial shells. Si- licious mari contains from 20 to .50 per cent, of silica. As, therefore, quartz or flint contains from 85 to 100 per cent, of silica, and infusorial earth and feldspar are mostly silica;<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> l05uha0va2a7ur4iran1j0ywpb7cje7 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/82 104 645730 15135277 8174115 2025-06-14T22:30:38Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, BBPO → REPO, PORTEB → PORTER, removed: � (8) 15135277 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>70 FSDESJlIi REPORTER, or soda. It îs, therefore, chemically distinct from quartz, and ÎB classed by mineralogists with the opal, as a minerai species distinct from quartz. In support of which I would refer to Dana's Text-book of Mineralogy, published by John Wiley & Sons, 1877, pages 262 to 267, inclusive, on which last page, under the species opal, reference is made to infusorial earth, and where the statements which I have made as to its density and hardness are corroborated. "In respect to their properties as applied to the fiUing of wood, I would call attention to the fact that the two boxes, Exhibits L and M, contain the same weight of their respective contents. The mass of quartz, weighing four pounds eleven ounces, is about seven inches long, three inches wide, and four inches high. The infusorial earth occupies a box ten inches long, seven inches wide, and five inches high, being in the form of lumps of various sizes, but are evidently several times more bulky than the same weight of quartz, and sev- eral times more bulky than the quartz would be if it were reduced to powder such as is specified as employed in the Wheeler patent. This great difference is due to the porosity of the infusorial earth. Not only are the lumps of infusorial earth made up of loosely-cohering infusorial shields or frag- ments of shields, but these shields themselves have a very delicate structure, as seen under the microscope, so that the infusorial earth, from its spongy texture, is capable of absorb- ing and holding in its pores a considerable bulk of liquid. "This difference of mechanical texture corresponds to a dif- ference in the adaptation of these two materials to use as a wood filler. The infusorial earth is porous in a degree com- parable to the wood which it is claimed to fill, so as to dimin- ish the absorption of oil or varnish, and must therefore act very inef&ciently as a filler. "Again, the quartz, powdered, as specified in the Wheeler patent, is seen under the microscope to consist of sharp, angular particles, which, when applied to the surface of wood, by rubbing with a cloth or leather pad, are foroed into the pores of the wood, where they firmly lodge, and effectually fill these pores with an impervious material.

This voyage, upon which this death occurred, being made upon a publie, navigable water of the United States, it mat- ters not -whetlier the boat was running in connection with a railway or otherwise, or whether it was plying up or down the Btream, or across it. The length or direction of the voyage, or its relation to other means or modes of transportation, in no way affect the f act stated in the libel, and upon which the jurisdiction of the court of admiralty alone depends, that the tort was committed upon the public navigable water of the United States. Upon^ this and the remaining exception two other points are made by counsel for the defendant, namely : (1) That in a.lmiralty, as at common law, no action is maintainable for the wrongful death of another; and (2) that the damages given by section 367 of the Oregon Civil Code, for the death of a person "caused by the wrongful act or omission of an- other," cannot be recovered by a suit in admiralty or other- wise than by an action at law in the state court ; and upon these the contention mainly turns. It is admitted that it came to be the rule at common law that an action will not lie to recover damages for the death of a human being. The maxim, "Actio personalis moritiir cumper- sona," was held to apply. It is also admitted that the weight of authority in this country is with the English rule. But it is not admitted that the rule is founded in reason or is con- Bonant with justice. The earliest English case is Higgins v. Btitcher, Yelv. 89, in which it was held that a master could not maintain an action for the death of his servant, feloniously caused, for the reason that the private injury was merged in the felony. But tliis would not apply to a case where the death was caused by negligence, not criminal, and at this day would not be held sufficient to defeat the private remedy, when it otherwise ex- isted.

The steam-shîp was about 416 feet in length, and about 38 feet beam. The bridge was 150 or 180 feet from the bow, and six or seven feet higher than the turtle-back, which wat» about 23 feet above the water. The bark was sailing with the wind free, lier course being Bouth-east by east, half east, and she was making about seven and a half knots. Her side lights, which were the regulation lights prescribed by the Norwegian Veritas, but which were of much less power than the side lights of the steam-ship, were set and burning. The watch on deck consisted of the first mate and three men. A lookout was stationed on the top-gallant forecastle. About 1:45 a., m. this lookout sighted the mast head-light of the steam-ship right ahead, and re- ported it. The mate looked, and saw the light ahead, but a little on the starboard side, and he ordered the man at the wheel to keep her steady. No side lights of the steamer could be seen, but, as the vessels approached, her mast head- light came a little on the port side, and at the same time her sails became visible. The steamer was by this time so close that to those on the bark a collision seemed inevitable, and the mate ordered the bark's helm hard a-port. In a few sec- onds the steamship's starboard light came into view, and in another instant she struck the bark on her port side, cutting her completely in two, diagonally, from the after-part of the forerigging to the forepart of the main rigging. The bark sank, and, with the cargo, became a total loss. The bark was not seen by those in charge of the steam-ship until im- mediately before the collision, when the second oiScer saw her head-sails, and the lookout on the starboard side saw her after-sails, and, as she roUed over, saw her port light. A few seconds before, a steerage passenger, looking through a port- hole on the star-board side of the steam-ship, had seen the port light of the bark, and reported it to his room-mates. The theory of the libellant was that the courses of the two vessels, although apparently opposite, were in reality slightly intersecting; that the bark, having the wind free, was neces- sarilyyawing; that when the steamer 's light was first sighted the bark bad f allen off, and that, as she luffed gradually to her<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> dp5g3e00n478gpeod3evi7qy7s55k7a Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/104 104 645753 15135158 8173331 2025-06-14T22:28:41Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: whieh → which, PORTEB → PORTER, removed: � (5) 15135158 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>92 FEDERAL EePORTER. This înquiry need not, however, be pursued. The fact that the bark could have been seen, with the exercise of proper vigilance, earlier than she was, (of which I am fully con- vinced,) shows conclusively an absence of proper care. Wherein this consisted need -not be determined. The bark should have been seen earlier. That she could have been, even without lights, seems to admit of little, if any, doubt. Wis- mer (of the steam-ship) says he could see a ship, without lights, the fourth of a mile off, at the time, and believed so tben. Sodergren (also of the steam-ship) thinks a man with a sharp eye might bave seen a ship, without lights, half a mile off. Lutz (of the steam-ship) says he saw the bark as she came up, and looked out the air-port of his state-room a third time before reporting that she would strike. Peters (of the steamship) says he heard the report, and passed from below to the deek before she struok. Captain Jackson (of the steamer) says he did not lose sight of the wreck, which King says was 500 to 600 yards away, and without lights. Peters says he kept the wreck in view from the steam-ship untU they left, and could see the mizzen-mast above the water. King (of the steam-ship) says: "When at the wreck, judging as near as I could of the distance, it was from 500 to 600 yards from the steam-ship; I could count every port-hole." Tonneson (of the bark) says he saw the steam-ship' s sails when she was three lengths away. Captain Simonson (of the bark) says he saw her sails as she came up, and, after the collision, saw her constantly, as he clung to the wreck. Edwardson (of the bark) says he saw the steam-ship's sails and rigging as she came up, and kept her constantly in view from the wreck. Jansen (of the bark) says he also saw her from the wreck. That these witnesses may be inaccurate, and, no doubt, are, respecting time and distance, must be admitted. Still, their testimony is convincing that the bark, even with- out lights, might have been seen earlier than she was. With lights she could oertainly have been seen, aooording to the concurrent testimony on both sides, from half a mile to a mile off. That her lights were burning is not, in my judg- ment, open to serious question.

Conceding the propriety of interrogating them as was done, their situation, and their imperfect understanding of the language in which they were interrogated and made answer, and the fact that the answers were not taken literally in the terms they employed, — would render it unsafe to rely on the information thus ob- tained, as a means of contradicting or qualifying what they afterwards said on oath. In my judgment, however, no materia] disagreement exists between the statements referred to and the testimony of the witnesses sobsequently obtained. A decree must be entered in favor of the libellant. The court propounded certain questions to nautical experts called as assessors, which, with the answers thereto, were as f oUows : Captains Gallagher and Hewitt will please fumish me th« answers to the foUowing questions : First. Supposing the bark Luna to have been running free, with the wind — a stiff breeze — on her starboard quarter and a heavy swell in the sea, would the rudder keep her steadily on a direct line or course ? If not, how much would the yaw- ing be likely to carry her off, with proper attention to the wheel? Answer. A bark running free, with a stiff breeze on the starboard quarter and a heavy swell, allowing that she ia a fair-steering vassal, would yaw each side of her course from one-half to one point, with a constant tendency to eat up into the wind, except where she takes what is termed a wipe-off or sheer to laeward, wMch only happens occasionally, therefore her course would be a erooked one, and the resuit, that she would probably make from a quarter to a half point to wind- ward of that steered by compass. Second. What effect, in this respect, would the wind and swell have on the steam-ship's course, running in the oppo- site direction, at 11 miles an hour, with sails set (so as to have the benefit of the wind) and having a heel of 12 degrees to starboard?

Bradley, C. J. The questions in this cause are — First, whether it is a case for salvage ; secondly, if it is, how much compensation ought to be allowed to the salvors; thirdly,ho-w it ought to be apportioned amongst them; and, fourthly, who are to contribute thereto. Very little need be said on the first question. It being dis- covered shortly before 6 o'cloek on the morning of the twenty- eighth of March, 1879, that the ship Suliote was on fire, the signal of distress was immediately given by ringing the alarm- bell, and messengers were sent out for assistance. In re- sponse to the call the tug-boat Belle Darlington, lying a short distance above, backed down alongside of the Suliote, and threw her hose on the deck of the latter, and commenced to play into the hatchway ■«'here the smoke was seen to issue, and was shortly afterwards joined by the Maud Wilmot and the Protector, and by their joint efforts the fire was extin- guished. When a vessel is in distress, and in danger of destruction, and calls on others for help, or, being abandoned, is saved by their voluntary efforts, it is a case of salvage, unless the salvors act in the performance of a mere duty, as where they are employed by the public authorities to perform the very service. Had the fire department of New Orleans estinguished the fire whilst the vessel was lying at the wharf, no salvage could have been claimed. But, although the services of the department were offered, they were not accepted by those in charge of the ship. The vessel and cargo were eaved by the voluntary efforts of those who came to her relief. We think the case is clearly one of salvage. The amount of salvage that ought to be allowed for the services performed depends on several considerations ; aB,first, the extent and danger of the services ; secondly, the risk to which the vessels and other property employed in the service were exposed; thirdly, the value of the property saved, and the risk of destruction by which it was imperilled. The extent and danger of the service were inconsiderable. The Belle Darlington and Maud Wilmot were actually em- ployed in throwing water only a few minutes — less than half au hour — though they stayed in the vicinity until the fire was<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 6upj8thy8a0xlmnyydt5mw2xp60jzcx Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/117 104 645766 15135161 8173344 2025-06-14T22:28:44Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, removed: � (12) 15135161 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>THE BARK lOVETAND. 105 The Bark Lovetano, her Cargo, etc. {District Court, 8.

The Norwegian bark L. collided with the British sWp R. a short distance to the southward of Nantucket South Bhoal light-ship, ■whereby she lost everything above deck and was thereupon abandoned by her crew. Net long afterwards, in the morning of April 17, 1880, she was sighted by the British steamer T., and the master of the T., after putting a crew aboard the L. and making three hawsers fast to her with difflculty, the sea being rough and the wind high, com- menced towing. Two of the hawsers parted at midnight, and the third slipped, thus compelling the T. to lay by the L. till dayligtit. The hawsers being again made fast after much difflculty, owing to their having fouled the T. 's propeller, the towing was again resumed in the aftemoon, and the T., without further accident or delay, reached Bandy Hook on the morning of the 19th with the L. in tow. The service rendered, which was attended with difflculty and danger to the crew, occupied the T. 51 hours. The distance towed was 325 miles in 37 hours, the average speed being about e% knots. Her maximum speed in ballast was 12)^ knots, and her speed at the time of discover- ing the wreck about 10 knots. The T. was a freighting steamer of 1,547 tons, runnîngbetween Lon- don and New York, at the time bound from Cardifl to New York in ballast, with a crew of 36 men, having 18 others (cattlemen) on board who had gone out on her last voyage in charge of cargo. The wind during the time of towing and before the discoverywas nearly ahead. The L. was 404 tons register, valued it $1,400 ; her cargo at $22,500, In good order when dlscovered and so dellvered. Her freight was valued at about $1,600, part of which had been prepaid. When dlscovered she had 30 Inches of water in her hold, and was not In a sintlng condition.

The claim of the libellants, however, that they should have more than one-half of the value of the property saved is very extravagant, and not in accordance with the present practice of courts of admiralty in cases like this. The principle is that a fair and liberal reward is given for the time and labor, the dangers encountered, and the property saved. Post v. Jones, 19 How. 150. In this case I think the sum of $7,000 will be a proper award. Of this sum, $350 is awarded to the master, and $3,325 to the owners of the steamer. The remaining $3,325 will be apportioned among the officers and crew of the steamer, including the master and those of the cattlemen v?ho took part in the service, in proportion to their respective wages, the cattlemen ranking for this purpose as ordinary seamen. As the proofs do not show which of the cattlemen are entitled except the petitipner Wiley, who bas been joined as co-libellant, and as the libel alleges that three of the crew deserted in New York, of which no proof has been given, a reference will be had to determine this apportionment among the crew.

This right of appeal would be of no value whatever if the vessel were released because the libel was dismissed below, and the long-accepted practice in the admiralty courts of detaining the vessel in Buch case, if an appeal is taken, shows clearly that his right to secure his alleged demand by her continued arrest has been always recognized. It seems to me, also, that the Admiralty Eule 11, which secures to a claimant the right to bond a ves- sel under arrest, and to either party, in proper cases, her sale pendingthe suit, was designed bythe supreme court as giving to the owners of vessels sued for damages all practioable relief against the hardship arising from the exercise of this right of arrest on the part of a libellant proceeding in good faith. And it seems to me that the granting of the relief here asked would, in such a case, be ineonsistent with that rule. In the present case I cannot doubt the good faith of the libellant. The case was by no means so clearly for the claim- ant on the proofs that the libellant 's suit or his appeal can be pronounced frivolous or one prosecuted malafide. If such should appear to be the case, it is unnecessary to determine what relief the court could give the claimant. As it is, this claimant is suffering only the inconvenience and hardship to whioh all owners of property are liable from the attachment of their goods by due proeess of law in a suit in which such attachment is permitted. It is unnecsssary to consider whether the proof of claimant's alleged inability to bond the vessel is sufficiently made out for any purpose.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ps0sh8ybdb16rlrajz8oj15wxvc5pdj Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/136 104 645786 15135165 8173362 2025-06-14T22:28:47Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., EBPO → REPO, OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (5) 15135165 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>124 FEDERAL REPORTER. approached the mouth of the slip from up the river, heading in obliquely towards a point some ways inside of the south- erly rack, and after striking the southerly rack her head was canted over towards the center pin, a short rack between the two ferry bridges, and her stern was by the same movement, aided by the ebb-tide, sagged down against the southerly rack. It was while so sagging down and coming with her starboard side against the rack that the jib-boom entered the cabin window. The length of the ferry-boat and also that of the rack is 217 feet, The length of the center pin is about 100 feet. There was another ferry-boat in the slip on the north side of the center pin. It is quite certain, from the evidence, aided by the models and drawings of the ferry slip and the boats, that the Hackensack could not, with the ebb- tide running, and with the other boat in her slip, have made her slip at ail, if her stern projected southerly of the south- erly line, so far as to engage the jib-boom of the schooner lying straight with the ferry rack, or indeed lying in any way, without projecting to the north of the line of the southerly side of the ferry rack. The ferry-boat made her slip, being thrown over by striking the southerly rack, so that her port bow brought up against the southerly side of the center pin before her way was entirely stopped. It was impossible for her to do this if her starboard quarter projected south of the ferry rack, or covered any part of the mouth of the Vesey- street slip, as some of the witnesses on the part of the schooner testify that it did. They are clearly mistaken, being misled by imperfect observation. It may have seemed so to them from their points of view. The fact that the schooner still had her stern-line out, and that it hadnot been thrown olï of the spile to which it was made fast, does not, as claimed on her behalf, show that she was not heading across the corner of the ferry rack. It must, of course, bave been slack enough to allow her stern to stand oflF sufficiently for this purpose.

" Libellants fumished a full outward cargo, but tha vessel was found to have a capacity of only 1,085 tons, and her owners repaid to the libellant a proportionate amount of the j61,250 paid for the outward voyage. On her return voyage libellant furnished only a cargo of 600 tons of marble and about 120 tons of light cargo. Upon the completion of the homeward voyage the master retained out of freight collected from the consignees of the cargo the whole £675 stipulated to be paid for the return voyage. Libellants thereupon filed this libel, claiming a portion of this sum proportionate to the difference between the guarantied capacity and the actual capacity. Eespondents claimed that, as libellants had not furnished a full cargo, the fact that the vessel could not bave carried 1,250 tons was immaterial, and further alleged an agreement on the part of libellants not to make any claim for the deficiency in tonnage. The district court dismissed the libel on the ground that, by the terms of the charter-party, the £675 was to be paid for a cargo of only 600 tons of marble, with sufficient rags for dunnage, which cargo had been carried. Libellants appealed, and took depositions in the circuit court of witnesses who testified that vessels laden with mar- ble always brought home light cargo in addition, and that the reason for specifying in the charter-party the quantity of marble to be carried was because the insurance companie» objected to a vessel carrying over three-fourths of her regig- tered tonnage in marble.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 59h38oc5ssyn03uhg2f27ris347bgv2 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/154 104 645806 15135167 8173381 2025-06-14T22:28:49Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (6) 15135167 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>142 FKDBBA.Ii REPORTSB. in any respect discriminates in favor of or for the greater pro- tection of this clasB of informers. On the contrary, the stat- ute of 18 Elizabeth and the New York act of 1788 show that this very class of informera has been regarded as the least entitled to favor, and as requiring in a greater degree than any other class stringent legal and legislative regulation. And it woald be clearly a violation- of that principle of publie policy which governs this subject-matter to give this statutea strained construction for their benefit, or to base an inference that they were intended to be excepted out of its beneficiai operation upon any expressions of intention in their favor so inconclusive as are contained in section 5294. Taking the whole statute together, then, I think it subjects ail pecuniary penalties to the eecretary's power of remission, provided the informer's claim shaU not have been actually determined by the court. The power was therefore rightf ally exercised in this case. Where the suit is by the United States, though prosecuted partly for the benefit of the in- former, the secretary haa power to discontinue it. In this case the warrant of remission does not purport to order th© discontinuance of the suit, and probably it is proper that it should not do so, because it is the sait of a private party ; but the court is bound to give effect, in some proper way, to the remission which the secretary had the power to make. The precise question involved in this case seems to have been decided by Judge Blatchford, in the case of The Tmlight, in Deoember, 1875. In that case, after issue joined in a suit for a, similar penalty, the secretary remitted the penalty on certain terms, "subject to the decision of the court as to whether the plaintif! is an informer under section 5294 of the Revised Statutes, and the forfeiture incurred under sec- tion 4465 of said statute is remissible by the secretary of the treasury." It appears by the record in that case that, after hearing the parties, the court made an order perpetually sfcaying libellant's prosecution of the suit. As no opinion was filed, nor any briefs, it may be true, as claimed by the libel- lant's counsel, that the points made in this case for libellant were not presented to the court in that caae.

It is evident that the only object the petitîoner had, in coming to Brooklyn when he did, was to enlist in the service of the United States, and there is no reason to doubt that he would have returned to the city of New York if his application to be enlisted had been rejected. The ordinary «ourse pursued in regard to the marines enlisted at the Brook- lyn navy yard is to retain them there during the first two years of their service, and send them to sea for the remainder of their term. The petitioner, therefore, enlisted with the rea- eonable expectation that he would be stationed at the Brook- lyn navy yard for the two years next succeeding his enlist- ment. Since the time of his enlistment the petitioner bas lived in the barracks at the Brooklyn navy yard, which, for the purpose of this proceeding, will be assumed to be part of the third election district of the twentieth ward of the city of Brooklyn. These facts do not, in my opinion, show, that the petitioner has a right to vote, as being a resident of the third election district of the twentieth ward of the city of Brooklyn. The constitution of the state of New York contains the fol- lowing provisions : " Every maie citizen of the age of twenty- one years, who shall have been a citizen for ten days, and an inhabitant of the state for one year, next preceding an election, and for the last four months a resident of the county, and for the last thirty days a resident of the election district in which he may offer his vote, shall be entitled to vote at such an election in the election district of which he shall at the time be a resident, and not elsewhere. For the purpose of voting, no person shall be deemed to have gained or lost a residence JDy reason of his presence or absence while employed in the service of the United States ; nor while engaged in the navi- gation of the waters of this state or of the United States, or of the high seas ; nor while the student of any seminary of learn- ing; nor while kept in any alms-house or other asylum at pub- lic expense; nor while confined in any prison." In order, therefore, to make it appcar that the petitioner is entitled to vote in the district relerred to, he must prove ihimself to be a resident of that district. ïhe provisions of the<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ee0t8h3y3uq0lwyytqdbc1za6rpj37b Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/160 104 645812 15135169 8173390 2025-06-14T22:28:51Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (7) 15135169 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>148, FEDESA.ÏJ REPORTEK. has feaen laid upon the circumstance that, accçrdîng to tîiç practice of the service, men enlisted at the Brooklyn navy yard are stationed at that yard during the two years succeed- ing their enlistment, and that the reasonable expectation entertained by the petitioner at the time of enlistment was that he would be allowed to remain in Brooklyn for two years. But I am unable to see that the case is altered by this circumatance. The only intention the petitioner could have had in enlisting was to obey the orders of his command- ing officer as to the place of his future abode. If he entered the service with the belief, hope, and expectation that he \rould be ordered to remain in Brooklyn, that does not affect the fact that by enlisting he made it impossible for him to have an intention of his own in regard to his residence at any particular place during the term of his enlistment. The petitioner has sworn that he intended to come backto Brooklyn at the end of his five years of service, but he does not swear that he intended to make Brooklyn his place of residence at the expiration of his term of service; and, what is more to the point, he does not swear, and could not truth- fully swear, that he left New York with' the intention to re- side at the barracks in Brooklyn navy yard, or that he came to the barracks with the intent to make the barracks his place of residence. Ile left New York with the intent to enlist if he could, or, if not, to retum to New York — his then resi- dence. He came to the barracks because he was ordered there, and with the intention to remain there until he should be ordered elsewhere, and no longer. By these acta he neither lest his residence nor gained a residence in the bar- racks. It is not doubted that a sailor or soldier of the United States can acquire a residence while in the service. He may purchase or rent a dwelling and so gain a residence, as was the case in Ames v. Duryea, 6 Lansing, 155, and doubtless in other ways. But in order to gain a residence in an election district of this state, for the purpose of voting, he must do more than simply live at a place within the district by the<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> onutyfjjxfvg0o4hhzm00xkmchz8ns4 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/164 104 645816 15135170 8173394 2025-06-14T22:28:52Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, EEPO → REPO, TEB. → TER., REPOETER → REPORTER, removed: � (6) 15135170 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>152 FEDERAL REPORTER. ment of the canal with the political changes in the state gov- ernment. This bas been always a subject of regret to those interested in the financial success of the work, and to the consequent lack of a fixed and stable polioy in its manage- ment bas been attributed the disappointment of the expecta- tions of the projectors. The evils arising from the coutrol of the state over the management of the canal have been the frequent theme of comment in the reports of its ofQcers, and the ground of applications to the legislature for relief. But this 18 not an evil which the courts can remedy. It existed at the time when complainant purchased bis bonds, and lias always been an element in the estimate of their value. If, however, the complainant had produced proof to estab- lish the abuses alleged in bis bill to bave grown out of this political connection, and had shown, as alleged, that the rev- enues of the corporation were being squandered in paying persons kept in its service for political reasons, and not really necessary for its business, we sbould bave no doubt of the duty of the court to interpose to prevent so gross an abuse of a trust. For the corporation being insolvent to the extent that for years at a time its revenues bave barely met its work- ing expenses, it is manifest that the property is beld by the corporation as trustee for its creditors, and the utmost good faith, economy, and prudence are to be exereiaed in its man- agement. So that, if the allegation of paying useless em- ployes had been proved, such an abuse of this trust would have been made apparent as would bave required the inter- vention of the court, as the only protection left to the boud- holders against a faithless trustee of a property which is their only security. But we do not find this allegation established by the proof. The complainant bas urged upon the attention of the court the falling off in the net income of the canal, and the increase of expenditure in proportion tio receipts since 1875, and charges that these are evidence of extravagance and mismanagement. The fact that the net income of i;he canal, -which, in the years 1871, '72, '73, '74, and '75, had been over $200,000 in each of those years, fell in 1876 to<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 5ceogi8j4vf5iqqrmfs0ga0jd8gmg7c Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/168 104 645820 15135171 8173398 2025-06-14T22:28:53Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (6) 15135171 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>156 VEDEHi-ïi BSPORTER. from the earnings of the canal of extravagant Iiotel biïla, incurred by the president and directors, and charged bj them to the corporation, without warrant or authority. These bills, so far as ascertained and proved, amount, for the six years from 1874 to 1878, to Over $12,000. The items show that the charges are for personal expenses and extravagant entertainments of these officers, and indicate certainly a dis- position on their part to use their officiai position for their personal gratification, in disregard of the creditors they were appointed to protect — conduct in the managers of an insolv- ent corporation well calculated to excite suspicion and dis- trust with regard to the fidelity of their general management of its concerna. The excuse offered — that it had been for years the custom of the directors to extend such "hospitali- ties" at the expense of the canal — is, of course, no defonce of so unwarrantable an expenditure of creditera' money, and is some proof of the averment made by the complainant that years of abuse have sanctioned methods of conducting the afiFairs of the canal which waste its revenue and deprive them of money which should be paid to them. But while it is true that these proven bills do tend to excite distrust, they do not actually prove anything but themselves, and are not in them- selves sufficient to Justify the costly machinery of a receiver- ship. The complainant further charges that the conduct of the president and directors in obtaining the passage by the legis- lature of Maryland of the act of 1878, authorizing the corpo- ration to issue $500,000 of repair bonds, was without actual necessity, and, as it endangered the security of the complain- ant, was a seriouB breach of trust committed by the corpora- tion. The passage of this act was procured by representing to the legislature the dismantled condition of the canal, caused by the extraordinary flood of 1877, and the impossi- bility of raising money on the repair bonds authorized by the act of 1844.

The motion for a receiver is denied. Bond, G. J., concurred. Subsequently counsel were heard on the question of cjsts, and on the form of the decree, and the court said : "We incline to the opinion that the bill in this cause was filed in good faith for the benefit of the whole body of bond- holders, and bas resulted in a decree which will be for their benefit, and that the costs, the bill having been filed for the benefit of all, should be borne equally by them all. We do not think it equitable, though it is shown in the cause that some of the bondholders refused to unite in the suit, that they should be allowed to reap the benefit of complainant's action and bear no proportion of its costs ; and we think com- plainant's costs should be refunded to him out of the first funds which, in the hands of the canal company, would be applicable to payment of interest on the bonds, It appeared to the court that the corporation held the position of a trus- tee, and therefore the court retained the bill to afford such relief as is usual for courts of equity to give in matters of trust. It implies no imputation of fraudulent conduct on the part of a trustee to require him to make frequent reports of his acts to the court. We think the defendant oompany should be required to make its reports quarterly. This will secure to the bondholders every opportunity of inspection, and of scrutinizing the conduct of the canal management. If either party think it necessary hereafter to invoke the assistance of the court, in any future matter coming within the scope of this bill, he oan corne into court and do so by petition in the cause.

BiLLiNGs, D. J. This cause is before me on an application to dissolve an injunction. The sole question upon which the court is now to pass is whether the court should at this time entertain the application. The cause was commenced in the state court. An injunc- tion was there obtained, and at the instance of the defendant the plaintiff was then required to give a bond in the sum of $50,000 to compensate the defendant for any damages he might suffer from the injunction in case it should be held to bave been improperly obtained. An application was then made, on the part of the defendant, to substitute a bond for the injunction, according to the practice in the state court, and then, upon the application of the plaintiff, the cause was removed to this court, on the ground that its decision in- volved a construction of the constitution and laws of the United States. The return-day of the removed cause would be on the third Monday of April next, which is the first day of the next term of this court.

Upon this it seems to have been understood that Chaffee and Delmonico would pay the entire amount — the latter according to the interest to be acquired by him, one-sixteenth oî the whole^ and Chaffee to pay the remainder. Before the money became due to the Colorado Springs party, Jones and Chaffee came to the state apparently with the view to complete the.purchase, and after some examina- tion of the property and the title to it, Chaffee declined to go on, upon the ground that the Lee and Stockbridge title was out- standing; and thereupon it is conceded that the contract •with the Colorado Springs party expired by its own limita- tion. Some time remained — that is to say, until the eighth of August — before the contract with the Denver party would expire, and in this interval Eoudebush entered into negotia- tions with the Denver party with a view to acquire their interest for the Colorado Springs party. He also arrangea for the sale of the Lee and Stockbridge title to the Colorado Springs party, and this probably entered into the purchase of the Denver party's title. The evidence is not clear on that point, but it is shown that $10,000 was paid for tlje Lee and Stockbridge title, of which the Denver party contributed one- half, and the Colorado Springs party one-half ; and probably this arrangement could not have been made except upon some understanding as to the settlement of ail controversies between the parties. It is hard to believe that thesa two parties would have corne together to purchase the Lee and Stockbridge title without some accommodation of the contro- versies then pending between them. In the last days of July, the sale by the Denver party to the Colorado Springs party was effected through the agency of Eoudebush, and the principal question in the case it whether this was done pursuant to the contract betweeu Eou- debush and the Denver party. Upon that question there are several cireumstances of great weight.

The property at the sheriff 's sale brought but little more than the amount of those earlier executions, The net prûceeds were less than that amount. But I am satisfied by the testimony that the property was in fact worth more than eni>ugh to satisfy those executions, and must bave been so consïdered both by the debtors and by these defendants. In their answers, which were, of course, after the sale, the de- fendants say that the value of the goods did not exceed $2,600. They sold for $1,571.34, exclusive of some sewing machines, which appear to have been classed as fixtures. They say nothing of the value of the fixtures, which ,including the sewing machines, sold for $692.27. It may very properly be assumed that the defendants would not, in their answers, give values at aU above what they understood the property to be worth at the time of the offers for judgment, The testi- timony of the witnesses also shows that the value of the goods eonsiderably ' exceeded what they brought ; and, al- though they were goods whose value, as understood by the parties, ought, perhaps, to be considered as subject to diminu- tion by the effect of a forced sale at auction under execution, yet, even making ail due allowance for this consideration, I am satisfied that the parties understood and supposed ihat they would bring more than enough to satisfy the earlier exe- cutions, and that an intent to give and receive a preference over the creditors generally was at least part of the purpose with which the offers of judgment were made, and therefore that the plaintiff is entitled to recover.

The case was elaborately argued at the circuit, counsel oocupying several daya in the presentation of their views. Their arguments were taken down by a short-hand writer, and printed, thus enabling me to read what I had patiently lietened to in the oral discussion. The question before the court was the validity of the re- issued patent to the complainant. The main objection urged to its validity was that it was for a different invention from that described in the original patent. And upon that point the argument was fuU, elaborate, and able. It is difficult to see how the position of the complainant in support of the patent could have been more cogently presented. The original patent was for a compound of nitro-glycerine, with an inexplosive porous absorbent, which would take up the nitro-glycerine, and render it safe for transportation, storage, and use, without loss of its explosive power. The re-issued patent is for a compound of nitro-glycerine with any porous absorbent, explosive or inexplosive, which will be equally safe for transportation, storage, and use, without loss of explosive power. In other wbrds, the re-issued pat- ent drops the limitation of the original, and seeks to cover all compounds in which nitro-glycerine is used, in connection with a porous absorbent, in the production of blasting pow- der, thus practically securing to the patentee a monopoly of nitro-glycerine in the manufacture of that powder. The court held that the re-issued patent was, therefore, more extensive in its scope than the original patent, and on that ground was invalid. It covered a different invention. The court also held that the original patent was neither invalid nor inoperative from any defective specification, but was valid and operative for the invention described ; and that this appeared upon a comparison of the.two patents, the re-issued patent differing from the original only in the extent of its claim; and that, therefore, the eommissioner exceeded his jurisdiction in granting a re-issue at ail, as well as on the ground that the re-issued patent was for a different inven- tion. This latter position was not, it is true, disoussed in the oral argument, but it is raised by tha pleadings, and<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> iuzxthxfsqm1mcn42fvkktew3u7f06e Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/214 104 645869 15135178 8173450 2025-06-14T22:29:00Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (9) 15135178 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>202 FEDERAL UEPORTER. hearing is to be sought by appeal, when the decree is one which can reviewed by an appellate tribunal. See Tufts v. Tufts, supra. The petition, therefore, cannot be beard by me ex parte at Washington. The complainant must pursue the regular course of procedure, and give notice to the opposite party. If the petition be filed during the term, the court will retain jurisdiction over the case, and may subsequently decide upon the application. The eighty-eighth rule in equity applies only where no petition is presented during the term. As the circuit court in San Francisco will be held by the circuit judge in my absence, he will direct its clerk to forward the petition and answer to me, at Washington, accompanied with Buch brief 8 as counsel may file within a reasonable time to be allowed by the court. The application will then be taken up and disposed of, and my judgment sent to the cir- cuit court and there entered. Where cases bave been heard by the circuit judge sitting alone, I do not myself jhear appli- cations in them for a rehearing, or motions for a new trial, except by bis request. This consideration to the different judges composing the court is essential to the harmonious administration of justice therein. As observed by me in a case reported in 1 Sawyer : "The circuit judge possesses equal authority with myself on the circuit, and it would lead to unseemly conflicts if the rulings of one judge, upon a ques- tion of law, should be dîsregarded, or be open to review by the other judge in the same case."

It appears by the testimony of the ship carpenter, who repaired the sloop soon afterwards, that when he saw her the rail, stanchions, and timbers were injured in some such way as is described by the witnesses from the sloop, but it also appears that later on the same day, the eighth of September, she was in collision with another vessel. It is quite possible, upon the evidence, that the principal injuries in her stem were then sustained by her being driven against the pier. I am unable to credit the statement of her witnesses that the stern was lifted up by the blow as they describe. Not only are they contradicted on this point, but it is almost impossi- ble that such should have been the effect of the blow even if it was as violent as the witnesses testify to. The brig was much higher out of water. Both vessels had overhanging stems, so that the tendenoy would have been not to lift up but to crowd down the stern of the sloop. And the barder the blow the greater would this tendency be. Upon the whole evidence I am not satisfied that any damage was done by the tug's endeavor to pull the stern of the brig by the stern of the sloop, except the parting of one line and the breaking of the cavil. For this damage the tug is liable. She had no right to use force enough to injure the sloop, and was not justified in" doing so by the unreasonable refusai of the sloop to haul away. She could bave herself hauled the sloop out of the way first, or, as she did afterwards, have sent for a har- bor-master to compel her to move away. The libellants are entitled to a decree for the damage found as above, charge- able to the carelessness of those in charge of the tug, but without costs, because they were in the wrong in refusing to get out of the way when requested and thereby brought tha<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> cuzfghnl5a0yauri95qank0ycw6noma Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/226 104 645881 15135180 14561139 2025-06-14T22:29:02Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, POBT → PORT, ORTBB → ORTER, removed: � (11) 15135180 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>214 FEDSIUL BSPORTER, to thelr respective wsges ; the shares of the master and crew to be free of all charges and expenses incurred by the owners.

This is an application by the master and part of the crew of the steam-ship Plainmeller for an appor- tionment of the salvage in the case of The Adirondack, 2 Fed. Eep. 387, 872, It is shown, on the part of the owners of the Plainmeller, that they incurred some expanses, by rea- son of the salvage service, which should be first re-imbursed to them out of the amount paid. They are : For port charges in New York, about $275; extra coal, $250; captain's ex- penses, $60; and some other trifling expenses. They ask to be allowed, also, for law expenses in the trial of the suit — some $750; charges of their agents for attending to the busi- ness of the suit; and some $400 for repairs. As to these expenses, it was not shown upon the hearing, and is not now shown, that the towage service made any repairs neeessary, and the law expenses incurred were, in my judgment, mainly unnecessary, as the Adirondack offercd to pay all that was properîy due for the service rendered. These charges ought not, therefore, to be taken into account in apportioning the salvage; and, under all the circumstances, I think that $750 will be a full indemnity to the owners of the vessel for their expenses and loss by reason of the salvage service. This is ail for which they bave any just claim on the master and crew for re-imbursement. Deducting this sum, there remains $6,750 to be apportioned between the vessel and the master and crew.

The passage above quoted from Betts' Admiralty showB clearly that it is only by amending the pleadings and decree that suoh relief as is now asked can be given, and none of the authorities cited by the libellant's counsel conflict with this view. If, then, the libellant still bas a claim for these dam- ages against the owners personally, he must resort to another suit to enforce it. That was the suggestion of Mr. Justice Curtis in a similar case. The Enterprise, ut supra. The other ground on which the relief is asked, that Eay- mond should .have signed the stipulation, is sufficiently an- swered by the recitals and form of the stipulation iteelf, and its approval by the libellant's proctors. It appears very clearly from the stipulation that the libellant understood and consented to the New York & Newbern Steam-^hip Company, and it alone, being treated as claimant for the purpose of the bonding and delivery of the vessel on bail. Eaymond was not treated as a claimant to whom the vessel was to be de- livered. He appeared, not by the proctors named in the stip- ulation as claimant's proctor, but by another proctor. The reason why the corporation alone was thus treated as claim- ant who was to take possession of the vessel when released on bail, may bave been because it was the owner of a major- ity interest. But, whatever may have been the reason, the libellant consented to the giving of the stipulation in the form in which it was given, and cannot now complain that Eay- mond did not join in it. The omission to have Eaymond join appears to have been intentional. There is no evidence of mistake which would justify a reformation of the contract, and nothing in the eleventh admiralty rule which would jus- tify the court in treating Eaymond as a stipulator, or in now directing that he join in the stipulation.

You will apply these instructions to the presentation for accept- ance, and if you find there were neither funds, contract, or other arrangement, nor a reasonable expectation of acceptance, the failure to protest and give notice would be excused. If this default was thus excused, then it was still the duty of the Company to present for payment on the fourteenth day of October, 1871. If you find the draft was presented on that day, protest and notice not having been given, or if you find it was presented af ter that da;y, you will apply these instruc- tions to that presentation also;' and if you find there were no funds, and no reasonable expectation of payment, the plaintiffs cannot recover.

As to the proof of loss not being filed, it is conceded notice of the death was given. If, when that was done, the agents of the Company repudiated all liability, aad informed the parties that the policy had lapsed, then no proof of loss was required by them, and the failure to file it cannot alter the case.

This is resisted upon the ground that it was gross negligence not to be prepared with the proof , and the court should not tolerate a practice encouraging such negligence ; and upon the further ground that the defendant, on a new suit being brought, wishea to change bis defence to a special plea of non estfactum, The attorney for the plaintiff, in support of the motion, files his affidavit stating that the papers had been mislaid until a few days before the trial; that in looking over them he saw a seal and supposed it was the seal of the treasury department, and did not notice otherwise until the trial ; and that he was misled because no objection was taken before the trial. It is difficult to see how any one could mistake the mode of proof adopted in this deposition for that pointed out by the Eavised Statutes, but the attorney here swears that he made that mistake, and the only question is whether the affi- davit shows sufficient cause. It was not formerly usual to grant a new trial after non- suit, but for the sake of obtaining justice it may now be had in that as well as other cases. Tidd's Pr. 905; Bac. Ab. tit.

This act, as construed by th& highest court of the state, in view of previous legislation, and upon consideration of the variouB provisions and directions of the act itself, established a System of taxation for bank shares "peculiar to itself and independant of the general System of taxation in existence in the state," and upon this ground it was decided by the court of appeals (Dotan v. People, 36 N. Y. 59,) that a bank shareholder, who had been assessed upon the value of his shares, was not entitled to any deduction on account of his debts, although the general laws of the state, and the local law relating to assessments in the ciiy of Albany, contained provisions whereby, in the assessment of Personal property, a deduction should be made for the debts owing by the person assessed, So far as this act contravenes the law of congress by im- posing a tax upon shares of national banking associations at a greater rate than is assessed upon other moneyed capital in the hands of individuals, concededly it cannot stand ; but the point in controversy is whether an assessment made under the act is void for vrant of power in the assessora to make any assessment, or is only erroneous when made without granting the deductions allowed by the general laws of the state. If the assessors have no power to make a valid assessment of the shares eo nomine, or against the owners for the value of their shares, the whole foundation of the taxation fails. On the other hand, if the assessors have authority to assess under the statute in question or under the other statutes of the state, then the inquiry arises whether the assessment is er- roneous, because the proper deductions were denied, or because a rule of valuation which discriminated unfairly against the stockholders was adopted; and, this being so, whether there is any remedy except in a direct proceeding to review the assessment. Obviously, if the first theory of the complainant is sound, it is of no importance whether the shareholders of the complainant were, in fact, owing debts which should have been deducted from the assessment or not, because there was no jurisdietion for any action on the part of the assessors.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> t1lbguo2ojp2z12mc05a5dnuoq7ye0z Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/266 104 645924 15135186 8173506 2025-06-14T22:29:08Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTEB → PORTER, EDEBAL → EDERAL , TEDERAL → FEDERAL, BBPORT → REPORT, removed: � (13) 15135186 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>254 FEDERAL REPORTER. ments to be retained from their dividends, but that prior to the commencement of this action a considerable number of the shareholders filed tbeir protest and forbade the coraplain- ant to pay over the amounts or to retain them for the purpose of paying the tax. The statute imposes a duty on the com- plainant in the nature of a trust, but which it can only dis- charge at the peril of being subjected to numerous suits at the hands of those whose money it retains. As is said in the similiar case of Cumminga v.. Nat. Bank, 101 U. S. 167, "it holds a trust relation which authorizes a court of equity to see that it is protected in the exercise of the duties pertaining to it. To prevent multiplicity of suits, equity may interfere." It is true the statute in terms does not require the bank to pay the taxes asseesed against its shareholders, but by neces- sary implication it authorizes the bank to do so, and thus brings the case precisely within the f acts of Cummings v. Nat. Bank. That case must be regarded as a decisive authority against the objections urged here to the right of the com- plainant to the relief demanded. A decree is ordered for the complp.inant.

" Other provisions of the law perfect the details of the business to be transacted by the commiesioners in connection with the voting and borrow- ing money. It will be eeen, from the foregoing, that before the commis - sioners can lawfully borrow money for the purpose of build- ing a court-house the right and authority to do so must be conferred by a vote of, the electors of the county. This is indispensable, as no right for such purpose exista without it. It must be observed that the authority here conferred on the county commissioners is to borrow money to build a court- house. The law does net authorize the people to vote bonds to erect the building. They may, by their votes, lawfully empower the commissioners to borrow money for the purpose in question, but they cannot authorize the commissioners to issue bonds for such a purpose, and have them hawked around the county and sold to A., B., and C. to raise money at a ruinons discount for any such a purpose. It is one thing to authorize the borrowing of money to build a court-house when needed, but it is another and very differ- ent thing to vote for the issuing of bonds therefor, when the law does not authorize it. It is true, if the people, by a proper vote, should authorize the commissioners to borrow money, that, on receiving the money, a bond or other evi- dence of indebtedness might be given for the payment of the money when due under the terms of the loan. This would, perhaps, foUow as an incident to the right to borrow. But, even then, the amount of money so boi-rowed should equal the amount for which the bond was given, otherwise there would be no end to the fraudulent practices of both officers and purchasers of bonds. Such a practice cannot be encouraged, and it is the duty of courts to close the doors against it. If, then, the law does not authorize the voting of bonds for any such a purpose as building a court-fiouse, then the authority to borrow money cannot be.enlarged by the commissioners or the people so as to include the rigth te<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> qw8b7qor58zlhowhaatsordmkb10g8z Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/292 104 645951 15135188 8173534 2025-06-14T22:29:10Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: tho → the , PBD → FED, EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (7) 15135188 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>280 FEDBEAL REPORTER. proper course is to plead the misnomer in abatement, for, if she pleads over, she cannot take aclvantage of it. She must aver her marriage in her plea, and prove it affirmatively." 3 Whart. Cr. Law, (7th Ed.) § 70. If, as is now argued, this means to apply only to the plea of misnomer, the paragraph is misleading, for the mere erroneou3 statement of the defend- ant's name in an indictment or information must be corrected by plea in abatement, whether the defendant be man or woman, married or single, and the status of the woman, as regards her being married or single, h, it seems to me, wholly immaterial, exoept as a matter of evidence on the plea. Id. §§ 636, 537. I think the C"thor — and I say this with the utmost diflS- dence of one se eminent and learned in this department of the law — has confused somewhat two analogous but distinct things, namely, pleading a misnomer and pleading a wrong addition of estate, mystery, or place. Advantage is to be taken of either in the same way, but the failure to plead in abatement does not, perhaps, have the same effect; at least, not as to this matter of the addition describing a woman as married or single. The failure to plead a misnomer in abate- ment cures the defect if the defendant pleads not guilty, and for the purposes of that case the prisoner has the name given in the indictment. 3 Whart, Cr.

Throwing aside, for the present, all questions which may arise under the bankrupt law, we think the sale of these 20 shares by the bankrupt to the complainants was valid, and gave them all the rights appertaining to sucb stock, after the payaient of all fines and dues, as was consistent with the terms of the transfer to the incorporation as a collateral security:for the payment of a debt. This court cannot admit the correctnes's of the position assumed by the defendant's soliciter, that no interest in this stock passed by the transfer to the complainants, on the ground that monthly dues were, by the terms of the collateral assignment, to be appropriated to the payment of the mortgage; for, had the corporation exercised the option of proceeding against the mortgaged premises, — -the primary security for the payment of its debt, — and thereby released the stock, to whom could it be said that the stock belonged? Manifestly, to the party pledging it, and who had brought it to its maturity by the payment of its monthly dues, and not to a third party who had contrib- uted no value toward its purchase. If the defendant's posi- tion be true, the Aid Loan, in such case, would be appropriating the money of a etranger to the payment of .its own debt, without affording him the opportunity of recovering the money advanced by him for its benefit. The Aid Loan had the right to elect to proceed against either security for the payment of the sum of $4,000 seeured by the bond and mortgage; and there was nothing in the terms of the pledge of the said stock as collateral security which impaired that right. Having ohosen to rely on the fund pledged as collateral security, i. «., the stock, and having appropriated the same to that pur- pose, it became their duty to tum over to the owner of the stock the primary security, i. «., the mortgage, in order that<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> o2eq7z2x72lgdettp931xlvn4f4xqyq Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/310 104 645971 15135190 8173555 2025-06-14T22:29:12Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: wbi → whi, whieh → which, FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, EEPO → REPO, removed: � (7) 15135190 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>'208 FEDERAL REPOIiXEU. far, if at ail, the provisions of section 5129 have been vio- lated* If the trarisfer is made void by reason of the violation of one section, the case cannot be altered by showing that there was an p,dditional violation of another. How far, then, was this transfer void ? In the opinion of this court it was totally void. The act of conjress makes it so. We do not see how it can be co.nsidered in any other light. This trans- fer of stock or contract is not divisible in its character ; it is not separable as tô the rights of different claimaats under one instrumenti which may be void as to one and valid as to others, as in the casa in 3 Harrington'a Eep. 117, (Waters v. Cotnly.) Now, if this transfer waS: void, as a consequence, no rights under it paased to the complainants, and whatever value there was in the stock, as a matured scheine, still remained in the bankrupt. Yet the complainants bave equities in this case which should be protected by the courts. To the matur- ing of this stock, which was used for the payaient of $4,000 due on the mortgage aforesaid, the complainants made con- tribution, and.itiwould be manifestly inequitable that the assignee of the bankrupt should retain the amount of the màtured stock, and also the voluntary contributions of the complainants whioh «ontributed tobring the stock to the value of $e,000. AU the dues and fines paid by the complainants were just so much money recôived and appropriated by the loan Society, and enured to tbiô benefit of the bankrupt in paying off so much of the mortgage which was due from bis estate, and which sum the complainants are entitled to have returned to them, together with interest thereon. This sum amounts to $620 ,in the aggregate, having been paid by monthly instalments of $20 each, running through a period of ^^1 months.

In Equity. Suit to set aside a settlement upon the ground of fraud, mistake, and want of consideration. Beadley, C. J. Eeuben Chapman, the complainant in this case, formerly governor of Alabama, and a lawyer by profes- sion for a long time prior to the late civil war, and to some extent during the war, had dealings, as a planter in Alabama, with the firm of Bradley, Wilson & Co., commission merchants and bankers, of New Orleans, who had a branch bouse at Huntsville, Alabama. Before the war commenced the firm had become largely indebted to Chapman, and the debt was somewhat increased afterwards. Their dealings being very extensive, and many of their assets proving worthless, thoy became financially very much embarrassed. In May, 1867, whilst in this condition, their account with Chapman showed a balance due to him of $23,650.29, which they proposed to compromise and settle by transferring to him a claim which they held against one Eichard Prewitt, consisting of two notes drawn in 1861, and then past due, amounting, with interest, to $20,136.23, and an open account amounting to $1,231.71, and a draft against one Nirnmo for $150.76.

This suit was pending when the settlement with Chapman was made, and the defendants had filed their answers therein, A decree was rendered in 1874 sustaining the marriage settlement, and dismissing the bill. In December, 1870, another suit was commenced for the same purpose by one Eobert H. Wilson, Prewitt's assignee in bank- ruptcy, in the circuit court of the United States for the north- ern district of Alabama ; and that court, in April, 1878, made a decree declaring the marriage settlement fraudulent and void. Both of these decrees were appealed, the former to the su- preme court of Alabama, and the latter to the supreme court of the United States, and these appeala are still pending; so that the ultimate fate of the security which was assigned to Chapman in May, 1867, is yet undetermined. The bill in this case was not filed untU the fifteenth day of October, 1879, more than 12 years after the transaction took place which i,t assails. It seeks to set aside the settlement on the grounds of fraud, mistake, and want of consideration. It aUeges that Bradley, Wilson & Oo., at thô time of the. settlement, and as an inducement thereto, represented thernselves to be insolvent, when, in truth, they were not insolvent ; that they represented the security contained in the marriage settlement to be good and valid, when, in fact, it was fraudulent and void; and that they coneealed the fact that a suit had already been instituted against Prewitt and thernselves to set the marriage settlement aside. It alleges that the complainant Chapman was ignorant of the facts, and was deeeived by these repre- sentations and coneealments, and was thus induced to make the settlement, which he would not have done had he known the truth. The bill is filed against the succession of Wilson, as before stated, and prays that the settlement of May, 1867, may be set aside, and that the complainant may be admitted as a crediter of the succession, and may have a decree for the payment of his entire claim against Bradley, Wilson & Co., with the accumulated interest.

The matter may not have oeourred to the parties. Mr. Walker seems to have been perfectly confident of the validity of the marriage settlement, and of the futility of any efforts to assaii it, and he may not have regarded Lile's suit as of any importance. If mentioned, he may have se expressed himself to Governor Chapman when consulted about the marriage settlement ; if not mentioned, it may not have occurred to him. A reference to it may have been made, and may easily have escaped the complain- ant's memory. If satisfled with Walker 's views at the time, the details of tbeir conversations may have passed out of his memory. The lapse of time cornes in here as an important factor on the question of recollection and the weight of evi- dence. Then, as to the alleged representations about the validity of the marriage settlement, there is not a particle of evidence to show that any representations were made which the par- ties did not at the time honestly believe to be true, or that any facts were represented different from what they were. The validity of the marriage settlement as against creditors of Prewitt, not provided for in it, was a question of law rest- ing in opinion, and not a question of fact resting in evidence and representation, When it was aUeged to be valid, it was 80 alleged as a matter of belief only. No misrepresentation of facts is set out in the bill, and none is established by the proofs. As Mr. Walker acted as the mutual friend of both parties in the settlement his testimony is important, and an abstract of it will perhaps give a clearer view of the transaction, as it actually occurred, than any statement which can be made, — somewhat fragmentary, it is true, being drawn out by inter- rogatories, but, nevertheless, clear and to the purpose. Speaking of the settlement of May 12, 1867, Mr. Walker says that he did not consider that he represented either of the parties in a professional capacity ; that the assignment of the security was made to him, as agent, at Governor Chapman 's request, but for what reason he does not know ; that he thought it a good settlement for both of them, and<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> nw3zz9hvovkuk3b3wjw2xf6z59a06oh Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/334 104 645997 15135194 8173581 2025-06-14T22:29:16Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (8) 15135194 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>822 FEiDEBAL REPORTER. of the trustee taldng possession of the property at once, and applying the rents in payment of the interest accruing upon the loan, Goldsmith might remain in posession while he paid the interest. The only interest or estate, then, which the de- fendant had in this property at the time of the demand, as the assignee of Goldsmith, was the possession, so long as the latter duly paid the interest accruing upon his note, and no longer. This, then, was not an estate upon condition, and therefore it was not necessary that there should have been either an entiy or daim (demand) to avoid the estate, upon the breach of the condition, but it was an estate upon a conditional limit- ation — an agreement for the possession so long as the inter- est was paid — a possession limited by that contingency ; and as Boon as it happened the estate terminated, and the right to the possession ceased without any entry or demand upon the part of the plaintiff or his trustee. The illustration given by Blackstone is in point : "When land is granted to a man so long as he is parson of Dale, or while he continues unmarried, or until out of the rents and profits he shall have made £500 and the like. In such case the estate determines (ceases) as soon as the contingency hap- pens." 2 Black. 155; The 60 Associates v. Howland, 11 Met. 101; Wash. E. P. 319. The conveyance to Hewett, and the stipulation concerning liis right to the possession upon the failure to pay the note, having been made for the benefit of the plaintiff, in consider- ation of and as a security for the repayment of the money advanced by him to Goldsmith, they ought to be construed, 80 far as they are open to construction, favorably to the former, and with g} view to effect the object for which they were made. Goldsmith 's right to the possession terminated by his own act — his failure to pay the interest upon his note. Between that time and the demand by Hewett, he or his assignee was a mere tenant at will or by suffrance, and the demand of the possession was only necessary on accoTtnt of the contract to that effeot, and to enable the trustee to maintain an action for the same in case it was refused.

As and when it was sold, the proceeds do not appear to have paid more than two-thirds of the debt, whereas, if the trustee had been admitted into possession, he might have applied the rents and profits on the interest, and ultimately paid the whole debt by a favorable disposition of the property. However this may be, the person directly and pri- marily interested in the matter was the plaintiff, and the agreement ought to be construed so as to allow him to exer- cise his judgment whether to hold the property or sell it. The debtor could always protect himself against any abuse of this discretion, to his prejudice, by paying the debt and redeem- ing the property, or by the interference of a court of equity. As to the claim for damages on account of the plaintiff's being oompelled, by reason of the defendant's refusai to sur- render the possession, to bring and maintain a suit in equity to procure a sale of the property, it was not argued by coun- eel, and need not now be considered. It, at least, appears from the complaint that the plaintiff is entitled to reeover damages for withholding possession of the property during the peribd alleged, and therefore the complaint states a cause of action.

The act making the grant contains a provision that n i exceeding 30 sections of the grant "shall be disposed of" — sold — when and as fast as the govemor of the state "shall certify to the secretary of the interior that any 10 continuous miles" of the road are completed. By an act of July 15, 1870, (16 St. 363,) congresB changea the line of the road from Can- yon City to Camp Harney; and by the act of June 18, 1874, (18 St. 80,) it was provided in effect that whenever it ap- peared from "the oertificate of the governor," as in the act of July 5, 1866, provided, that said road was "constructed and completed," a formai patent should issue to the state, or any corporation being its assignee, "for said lands," "as fast as the same shall, under said grant, be selected and certified. " By the act of October 24, 1866, (Sess. Laws, 68,) the state transferred the grant, "for the purposes and upon the condi- tions and limitations" eontained in the act making the same, to the Wallamet Valley & Cascade Mountain Wagon Eoad Company — a corporation duly organized under the laws of Oregon in 1864.

It is not the province of the court to sit in review of the investigations of a grand jury as upon the; review of a trial when' error is alleged; but in extreme cases, when the court can see that the finding of a grand jury is based upon such utterly insufficient evidence, or such pal- pably incompetent evidence, as to indicate that the indictment resulted from prejudice, or was found in wilful disregard of the rights of the accused, the court should interfere and quash the indictment. Very respectable authorities intimate than an indictment should be q^uashed when it appears that it was found by the grand jui-y without adequate evidence to support it, or when the grand jury permitted the rules of evi- dence to be violated, (Dodd's Case, 1 Leach, C. L, 184; Peu- ple V. Ristenblatt, 1 Abb. Pr. 268;) but if this were permitted it would resuit that the court would become the tribunal to indict as well as the tribunal to try the accused. In State v. Froiseth, 16 Minn. 298, it was conceded by the attorney general, and the court concurred, that where the grand jury required an accused person to be brought before them and testify touching the accusation the indictment should be set aside, although in that case the indictment was not found solely upon the testimony of the accused. In The People V. Briggs, Albany County Oyer and Terminer, Oshorne, J., (MS.,) held that an indictment should be quashed where the defendant's wife was called as a witness against him by the grand jury, for the reason that this was a substantial error, and it was doubtful whether the grand jury would have found an indictment without the wife's testimony.

E. Seymour, for petitioners. Geo. Bell, for assignee. Choate, D. J, This is an application by a judgment cred- itor for payment of his judgment out of the proceeds of real estate sold by the assignee under the order of the court. The ground of the application is that the judgment was a lien on the real estate at the commencement of the bankruptcy pro- ceedings. Prior to March, 1872, the five bankrupts and their father, Henry Lawrence, were partners in business under the firm name of Henry Lawrence & Sons. The real estate in ques- tion then stood in the name of Henry Lawrence, but was, in fact, partnership property. By his will Henry Lawrence devised it to his five sons, the bankrupts, who continued to hold the legal title as tenants in common till their bankruptcy in May, 1878, except so far as it may have been affected, if at ail, by the general assignment hereinafter referred to. After the death of Henry Lawrence the five bankrupts continued the same business under the same firm name, till their fail- ure, using and treating the real est",te as part of their part- nership assets, taking all the assets of the old firm, and assuming all its liabilities, arranging with the executors of Henry Lawrence to have his interest and capital in the con- cern, or a large part of it, remairi as a loan to the new firm. The old firm of Henry Lawrence & Sons had dealings with the firm of Merrifield & McDowell, holding notes of that firm, and having a balance of account against them for goods sold. In 1874 the bankrupts sued the firm of Merrifield & McDowell, joining as defendant one Edward L.

The equities here mn with the statute lien, and not against it. The attaching of the lien effects the application of firm property to the payment of a firm debt, and neither the copartners inter sese nor other firm creditors are injured in their rights, legal or equitable, thereby. As between the petitioners and other firm creditors, the petition- ers are entitled to the advantage which their greater diligence gives them in obtaining a periected lien before the commence- ment of bankrnptcy proceedings. Lastly, it i» objected that under the general assignment of the twenty-ninth of April the title to this real estate, or, at any rate, an equitable interest in it, passed to the assignee named therein, and that this deieats the lien of a judgment afterwards docketed. It is insisted, however, by the peti- tioners that the general assignment was void and inoperative for any purpose of vesting a title or an equitable interest under the law of New York. And I think this view is correct. The statute regulating general assignments for the benefit of creditors, (St. 1877, c. 466,) provides that every such assign- ment "shall be in writing, and shall be duly acknowledged before an officer authorized to take the acknowledgment of deeds." This, it seems to me, necessarily implies that the assignment, in case of a firm, shall be signed, executed, and acknowledged by all the members of the firm as a deed of real estate is required to be executed and acknowledged, and that an assignment not so executed is inoperative. Two of the partners did not sign this instrument, nor was there any proof whatever of the authority of Seabury Lawrence, who purports to have signed it as attorney in fact for the firm, to sign it on their behalf, if, indeed, a signature in the firm name, with authority from them, would be equivalent to a signature in their names. This requirement of the act of 1877, that all the partners should join in the assignment, was in accordance with the established rule of law as held in the state of New York before the passage of that act, that copartners have no authority as such to bind each other by a general assignment of the firm property to a trustee for<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> poy0f8g5p953418ex7un5t1wdiisu9w Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/376 104 646042 15135202 14644264 2025-06-14T22:29:24Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBDEB → FEDER, EBPO → REPO, EPOET → EPORT, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (6) 15135202 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>'à6e JFEDERAL REPORTER. ruain Hnes of the letter. Nothing of the exact kind is shown in these exhibits, nor is there aaything which can be regarded as proof that the thing patented was kno-wn to others before the invention patented was made by the patentees. Many attempts are made to prove that fact, but the proofs all fall short of meeting the requirement. When the defence of want of novelty is made, it ia the duty of the tribunal, whether court or jury, to give it effect; but sueh proof or testimony should be weighed with care, and never be allowed to prevail where it is unsatisfactory, nor unless its probative force is sufficient to outweigh the prima fade presumption arising from the introduction of the patent. Wood v. Bolling Mill, 4 Fisher, 550, 560; Parham v. Sewing Machine Co. Id. 468, 482 ; Hawes V. Antisdel, 8 0. G. 6852. Inventera may, if they can, kçep their inventions secret, and if ,they do it is a mistake to suppose that any delay to ap- ply: for a patent will f orf eit their right to the same, or pre- sent any bar to a subsequent application. Nor does any different rule prevail in the case pf a design patent. Delay less than for the period of t'^o years constitutes no defence in any case; but the respondents may allege and prove that the invention in -q,uestion had been in public use or on sale more than two years prior to the application of the party fpr a patent, and if they allege, and prove that defence they are entitled to prevail in the suit.

REPORTER. This was a bill in equity oomplaining of the infringement of re-issued letters patent No. 5,630, for an improvement in coupling and steering eanal-boats. The respondent denied the novelty of the invention, and alleged also that the re-issue was for a different invention from that described in the orig- inal invention. The case was heard on bill, answer, and prpofs. J. J. Comhs, for complainant. Henry Baldwin, Jr., for respondent. Pbb Cueiam. The bill here is founded upon a re-issued patent to the complainant for "improvement in coupling and steering canal-boats." This re-issue is alleged to be invalid, as being for a differ- ent invention from that described in the original patent. The difference between the two patents consists in a slight change in the points of attachment of the coupling and centering chain, D, to the stem of the forward boat, which appears only in the drawing attached to the re-issue. It is altogether immaterial, inasmuch as the mode of operation, the manner of construction, or the function performed are not in anywise affected. The remaining defences do not require a detailed discus- sion. It must suffice to say that they are not sustained. The allegation of infringement is supported by satisfactory evidence, which the respondent's proofs have not overthrown, and none of the prior patents exhibited cover the complain- ant's invention. There must, therefore, be a decree for the complainant; but, inasmuch as the allowance of an injunction would cause much greater injury to the respondent than benefit to the complainant, the decree will be only for an account.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 25qhkpw8ch0bbahwyvbam5s4va7xpur Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/382 104 646048 15135205 8173634 2025-06-14T22:29:27Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, EDEBAL → EDERAL , EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, ORTBB → ORTER, removed: � (8) 15135205 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>370 FEDERAL REPORTER. lieard nor answered, and continued to port her helm. The two vessels came in collision above the buoy, the Santiago de Cuba striking the Scots Greys on the starboard bow. On behalf of the Scots Greys it was contended that the Santiago de Cuba was passing down in the middle of the channel, and caused the collision by porting her helm and running into the Scots Greys after the latter vessel had rounded the buoy and straightened up on the western side of the channel. On behalf of the Santiago de Cuba it was contended that she was pass- ing down on the western side of the channel, and that the collision was caused by the Scots Greys continuing to star- board her helm after rounding the buoy, instead of porting it in obedience to the signal from the Santiago de Cuba and pursuing the usual course up the channel, which it was claimed would have carried her to the eastward of the latter vessel. Ctirtis Tilton and Henry Flanders, for the Scots Greys. John G. Johnson, for the Santiago de Cuba. B'JTLEE, D. J. There is an unusual amount of testimony in this case, and quite the usual amount of contradiction. Many important questions bave been raised and disoussed, which need not, in the view I take of the case, be decided. According to the Santiago's stateinent, she was about 400 yards above the Horseshoe buoy when the Scots Greys was about 200 yards below; and the collision occurred (as her libel asserts) 50 to 60 yards above. This niay be accepted as true. Sub- stantially, I think, it is true. The respective distances from the buoy may have been slightly different, and the point of con- tact may have been a f ew yards higher up ; but not materially so. Both vessels were, I believe, towards the western side of the channel, when approaching the buoy. In this situation, what were their respective duties ? To answer the question other circumstances must be understood. Between the ves- sels, for nearly, if not quite, half the distance, Was a narrow, curving channel, acrosa which a flood-tide was sweeping east- ward, and over the flats on the Jersey side. The upward- bound vessel was heavily laden, drawing 21 feet of water, while the olher waslight, drawiug 13 J^ fect.

Ansioer. Supposing two steam-vessels, such as are described in this interrogatory, to be placed as therein stated, with the tide flood, — the upward bound would have the right of way, and the other must keep off. (a) The width of channel for the former vessel, with the tide as stated, wonld be about 375 yarfis. Drawing 21 feet, and running with the current, she should have 24 feet to give her any practicable command over her course. For the smaller vessel the channel would be considerably wider. (b) While they might, with great care, pass each other opposite the shoal, prudence would require the downward-bound vessel to stop, some distance above, until the other had passed the buoy and straightened up. (c) If the downward-bound did not stop she would take upon herself the risk of attempting to pass, and would have to keep over to the eastern side of the channel. (d) The reasons why the upward-bound vessel should have the right of way, and the other should stop or pass to the eastward, are as follows : The channel, for the distance of a mile or more below the buoy to nearly a like distance above, is round- ing, being shaped like a broad horseshoe, with the toe pointing north-eastward. The tide when running up, sweeps across, and washes over the Jersey flats. A vessel deep in the water, and going with the tide, tends constantly and strongly, at thia point, to the eastern shore, and, without considerable care, is in danger of going upon the flats. Her rudder, with such a tide, affprds but a limited command over her course. She could not probably make precisely the same course twice out of a dozen trials. She cannot stop until around without serious risk. (e) Her safety therefore requires that she shall proceed, and endeavor to hug the western side of the channel, so as to resist the tendei^cy of the tide to carry her beyond deep water, eastward. And this endeavor cannot, safely, be relaxed until the vessel is a short distance above the buoy. The wheel should then be changed to port to straighten the vessel up. The sheer will not be broken, however, under the circumstances stated, before the vessel has run her length, or more. She will therefore be, probably, 200 yards above and westward of the buoy, when she straightens.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> so0tndfax7hfiddq8z34hb8axh6wx0c Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/394 104 646061 15135207 8173646 2025-06-14T22:29:29Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, removed: � (6) 15135207 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>383 FEDERAL REPORTEJB. made in the bill of lading. But the bill of lading is clean, and there is no evidence of any complaint whatever from the ship at the time, as to the condition of the cattle when going on board, In the next place, it is improbable that the owner of the cattle, who vas shipping them to be sold abroad on his own account, and who was personally present attend- ing to their shipment, would have brought them to the pier or perraitted them to go on board the vessel in an over- heated and exhausted condition. Inquiry would bave iu- formed him that the steamer was not to leave on the morn- ing tide, and, if his cattle had become overheated, is there any doubt that he would bave endeavored to delay their go- ing on board until the last moment ? Furthermore, the short distance which the cattle had come, the time taken in the driving, the early hour of the day, do not acccount for such a condition of the cattle as is described bytheclaimant's wit- nesses. That there was some beat is not doubted, and that from two to five of the cattle fell down and had water poured on them is proved, eut of which circumstance the witnesses have made as much as possible ; but the weight of the direct evi- dence in regard to the condition of the cattle, — one of the witnesses who proves the absence of exhaustion or undue heàt being an agent for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animais, without interest in the controversy, and present for the purpose of observing the condition of the cattle, — together with the undisputed facts, forbid the con- clusion that the condition of the cattle when put into the between-decks had anything to do with the subsequent sick- ness and mortality. It should be further remarked that there is evidence from the libellant himself that only cattle composing the first divis- ion, and which the claimant's witnesses say were not over- heated, went into the between-decks. This testimony, if true, disposes of the question of overheat or exhaustion, and leaves the condition of the between-decks on Sunday the onl}'- visible cause of the subsequent sickness, beoause the sickness was confined to cattle in the between-decks.

Hill, Wing a Shoudy, for the libellants. Beebe, Wilcox e Hobbs, for the ferry-boat. E. D. McCarihy, for the tug. Bbnediot, D. J. I am of the opinion that the damage to the bark Kings County, sued for in this action, must, upon the evidence, be found to have been caused by the negligence of those navigating the tug E. S. Conoter, which, at the time of the collision, was engaged in towing the bark. This negli- gence consisted in straightening up on the hawser attached to the bark 's starboard bow when the situation of the tug was such that the power so applied to the bark, in her then posi- tion, and at that state of the tide, caused the bark to move astern and into the side of the ferry-boat then under her etern. The character of the blow shows that the ferry-boat was substantially still in the water, and that the bark was, by the. action of the tug, backed against the ferry-boat. The ferry-boat was not in fault for stopping and reversing as she did. Such action was necessary to avoid a sloop, and she was entitled to suppose that the bark would remain where she was, or at least would not baok. Nor was the ferry-boat in fault for not continuing to back. When the ferry-boat stopped back- ing, the bark was upon her; if she had continued backing she would not have escaped the bark, and, by stopping her engine, she diminished the damages. If the bark had been moved ahead by the tug, instead of astern, or if she had been turned without going astern, there would not have been any collision. It was entirely possible for the tug so to tow the bark as to prevent her from going astern and across the river, and her failure to do this caused the damage in question. The libel as against the ferry-boat is, therefore, dismissed, and the libellant awarded a decree against the tug for the damage in question, with a reference to ascertaiu the amount.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 7opn17ige17ye7amty16s6iq8bzvwrp Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/404 104 646072 15135210 8173658 2025-06-14T22:29:31Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: ORTK → ORTE, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (6) 15135210 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>393 FEDERAL REPORTER. to be no part of the case for any other purpose than to effect the removal of the case from the state court to this court in the precise condition said case presented in the state court at the time the application for removal was presented to that court. That application cannot certainly be taken as a con- sent to submit to the jurisdiction of the state court ; and, as I understand the doctrine of appearance taking the place of or dispensing with the use of process to bring parties under the jurisdiction of the court, there must be some action of the party which reasonably evidences a voluntary submission to the jurisdiction of the court over the person of the party. In this case the defendant's first action in the state court is to except to the process by which it was attempted to give that court jurisdiction of the person of the defendant. And the £rst action of the defendant after the case reached this court was to interpose that exception here. I am, therefore, constrained to hold that the defendant has not waived the use and service of proper process of summons or citation in this case. It becomes necessary, then, to consider the other question : Has the defendant been properly served with due process of summons or citation in this case ? Service was attempted to be made under the act of the legislature of this state of 1875, "prescribing the mode of service in certain cases," (Session Acts 1875, p. 170,) by having a certified copy of the petition and a writ called a "citation," directed "to any person resid- ing in Mobile county, Alabama, competent to make oath of the fact of service hereof," served on the defendant by deliv- ering to the president of the defendant company, in said Mobile county, Alabama, said certified copy of petition, and a true copy of said writ, by a person who makes oath that he made said delivery. No affidavit that the defendant was a non-resident was made by any one, and no publicaltion of any writ of citation was made, or any method of service attempted other than that above indicated. But, in the view I feel con- strained to take of the question under the authorities, it is wholly immaterial whether the method pursued in this case meets the requirements of the act of 1875, above reterred to.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> e41ljjs15lztoaxyol3p0kxsgto81ga Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/432 104 646102 15135212 8173691 2025-06-14T22:29:32Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EDEBAL → EDERAL , TEDERAL → FEDERAL, EBPO → REPO, POBT → PORT, REPORTEE → REPORTER, removed: � (11) 15135212 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>e20 FEDERAL REPORTER. in the same terms as in the first, of work oxen and wagons, and the difference in the t^o cases is that, in the latter case, the conditional sale is evidenced by a written contraçt of the parties; and the vendee, without paying the stipulated price for the property, Bold and delivered it to the defendant, who purchased it in good faith and without notice of the vendors' wani of title, and the plaintiff, the first vendor, has brought an action of replevin for the property.

Conditional sales were valid hy the com- mon law, and their validity was not affected by the provisions of the English statute of frauds, nor are they within the record- ing acts of this state. In the case of a chattel mortgage, the property and possession of the chattel, in this state, is in the mortgagor, and neither the property nor the possession is changed by the mortgage ; but the mortgagee acquires, in the language of the statute, "a lien on the mortgaged property from the. time the same is" filed for record. Gantt's Digest, § 4288. In a conditional sale, the property in the chattel is separated from the possession, the property remaining in the vendor, and the possession only passing to the vendee. The same thing happens upon the loan, hire, or other like bail- ment of chatteis ; in ail such cases the right of property in the thing bailed remains in the bailor, and the actual posses- sion passes to the bailee. If one loan or hire his horse to his neighbor, he does not bave to reduce the contraçt for the bail- ment to writing, and have it signed, acknowledged, and re- corded, in order to prevent the bailee from making an effect- uai sale of the horse, or his creditorg from seizing it on execu- tion for .his debts. Thepossession of personal propertyisundoubtedlypresump- tive evidence of title, but it is also a general rule that a vendor in possession of such property can impart no better title to it than he himself possessed.

The date of that policy was October 28, 1869, and the date of the present was the twentieth dayof December, 1S72; but payments of interest are provided for from the twenty-eighth of October, so that it is fair to say three years' premiums had been paid when this policy was issued. And, besides, the annual premiums upon the first policy were $532.90, and the amount aeknowledged as received in this policy is $1,598.70, which is the amount of three years' annual premiums. There is no testimony in the case, outside the policy of insurance, which shows how the sum of $24.18 interest pro- vided to be paid was arrived at, or in what condition the prin- cipal upon which this interest was to be paid was held by the Cincinnati Mutual. There is upon the policy of that Company a pencil memorandum of "Loans out, $403," and the indorsement upon the policy in suit hereinbefore re- ferred to. By the agreed statement of fact it is shown that the Union Central Life, by an agreement with the Cincinnati Mutual, assumed the liabilities of said company upon all its outstand- ing policies, and that in pursuance of said agreement the policy in suit was issued. The issuing of the new policy must, therefore, be treated as if the Cincinnati Mutual had issued to the parties a paid-up policy for the amount specifled, for this policy is in fulfilment of their contract. If, at that time, the Cincinnati Mutual held the notes of the assured for a part of the annual premiums of the three years, and instead of requiring their payment transferred them to the Union Central Life, who, in issuing the new policy, instead of re- quiring their payment, agreed to treat them as a loan upon<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> i4n8b5wa4hfaafx5qdfgmxkrtfvpk14 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/448 104 646121 15135215 8173709 2025-06-14T22:29:34Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: AIi → AL , EEPO → REPO, POKTER → PORTER, removed: � (16) 15135215 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>4C6 • ■ ■ FeDeRAL REPORTER.

But it was different with regard to the $290 re- ceived by him from her mother's estate; no such separate quality was imparted to it, and it became the prôperty of the husband. As to the sum of $300 received from her brothers in 1862, and that of $495 received from them in 1864, by the law of Ohio it was the separate prôperty of the wife, and the husband had no title to it. As to the sum of $44 in 1877, and that of $45 in 1878, the only proof of the payment of these is by the wife that she paid it to him, and by him that he received it from her. I think, under the law of Ohio, this evidence will have to be excluded, which, as to these items, leaves them without proof. Let us now go back to the question of the rights of the wife growing out of the investment of the $1,000 in building and furnishing the house. The title to the land upon which it was built was in the husband's name. Did the payment of this sum for this purpose create a resulting trust in her favor to the extent of the money paid. To raise such a trust where the purchase money is paid by one and the title taken by another, the entire purchase money must bave been paid by such party; or if a part only be paid such part must be pàid for Bome aliquot part of the prôperty, as a fourth, a third, or a moiety, and there must be no uncertainty as to the propor- tion of the prôperty to which the trust extends. Olcott v. Bynum, 17 Wall. 44. And, again, such a trust must arise at the time of the purchase ; it cannot arise by after advances. Id. The facts in this case do not bring it within any of these requirements. It cannot, therefore, be said that this payment created in the wife a resulting trust in the title of any spe- cifie part of this land, by which the conveyance to the wife can be upheld. Can the conveyances be npheld as the execution of an agreement for a conveyance by the husband to the wife, as the consideration of the money received? Conveyances of real estate, in pursuance and execution of a prier agreement, have been upheld in bankruptcy, but it bas only been whera the terms of the agreement have been specifie and definite, and clearly establishedby competent evidence.

So ,that the complainant bas not limited himaelf to any terms in bis specification and claims to the employment of only the means and devices for suspending or elevating the stack, as shown by bis specifica- tions and drawings, but be bas left cpen to himself the use of other means which might occur to him as more convenient and better adapted to the "purposes intended" thau the mecbanism shown by the drawing ; the object and value of the patent consisting not in the use of any special maehinery for elevating the stack for the purposes intended, but the ele- vation and opening of the said stack at the bottom for those purposes by any maehinery best calculated to attain that end. The complainant bas evidently acted under the idea that be was at liberty to change the deviees for elevating the stack; for bis machine as manufactured and sold, and exemplified by Exhibit G in tbis cause, exhibits devices and arrange- ments for accomplishing tbis resuit different in form and structure from the machine as represented in the drawings and specifications attached to hia patent. The court is, therefore, of the opinion that any attempt by defendant, or any other person, to elevate the stack of trays 80 constructed as aforesaid, and from a point at or on the lowermost tray thereof, so as to insert new trays at the bot- tom Buccessively, by any meohanism whatever, adapted to acoomplish that purpose, and which is a mechanical equiva- lent to the means employed by the complainant, is an in- fringement of bis patent.

They are unlike in their respective appliances and devices by which these objects are accomplished, and also in the facility by which intermediate trays between the top and bottom can be removed. The devices by which the elevation of the stack of trays in the complainant's patent are elevated in the manner de- scribed for the purposes mentioned, are the cord and pulley, passing over an upright crane regulated by a windlass, or wheel and axle, with its ratchet and pawls as shown in one model — the point of suspension in this instance being directly over the centre of the stack ; and from the ends of the cross- bars, to which the rope passing through the pulley is attached, depend ropes or chains, which are attached by hooks to hand- les upon the lowermost tray to be removed, thus contributing both a lifting and suspending device, as shown by this model. The meana adopted in the other model, complainant's Ex- hibit C, which the eomplainant claims is authorized by his patent as within the scope of the powers granted therein, con- sist of a wooden frame supporting the stack of trays as before described, said wooden frame sliding up and down grooves in two opposite stationary posts, as power may be applied to move it, and connected by ohains to a chain passing over pul- leys in two upright posts at opposite sides of the stack ; the respective ends of said chains being attached to the short arms of two levers, the fulcrum of each lever being attached to the lower part and outer side of said upright posts ; the longer arms of said levers being connected with other chains passing over a 'drum or shaft regulated by its pawl and ratchet. By the last-mentioned device, the novel and useful inven- tion described in compiainant's patent of elevating the stack of trays, as aforesaid, by the application of power at a point in or on the lowermost, tray thereof, so as to permit the insertion of a fresh tray at the bottom, is accomplished.

In a suit in a state court for an account against a deputy sherrS, who was insolvent and in default, and against bis sureties, in which the Wgh sherifl and his sureties and two creditera were parties, a decree was rendered in favor of the creditors, awarding each a sum of money. The non-resident representatives of one of these creditera, •who had died, brought a chancery suit in a United States circuit court making the other crediter and all the parties to the suit in the state court parties defendant, all the defendants being residents of the state. In this suit, in the federal court, it was ascertained that the two debts could not be made except against a surety of the high sberiff, and they were nxade by a sale of the lands of that surety, and the plaiutitls and the other crediter were paid. But, bef ore the cause was ended, one of ' the sureties of the deputy sherifC became selvent ; whereupon the surety of the high sherifE, whoae lands had been sold, filed his petition in the federal court praying that this now solvent surety of the deputy sherifE, who was liable before himself for the two debts which had been paid, should be made to re-imburse himself in the amount of the two debts.

Gommissioner Hudnàll, basing his inquiry upon the amounts found to be due in the suit in the state court, reported (September, 1877) that $1,811.82 principal, and $1,893.50 interest, were due from Selden and sureties, (in- cluding Gordon and his sureties,) to the legatees of John St. John, and $461.63 principal, and $563.44 interest, were due from the same to the estate of John L. Cocke, — all together^ with costs, amounting to $5,127.18. This report was not excepted to by Stringer's representative, or any one else, and was confirmed by this court in October, 1877; and, by the same deeree, the court overruled the demurrer of Daniel Stringer's executer on all the grounds relied upon in the specifications to the demurrer. The court further decreed, funds being then available from no other source, that the real estate of William A. Turpin, deceased, should be sold for the satisfaction of the whole amount for which Charles Selden's estate had been found liable. Accordingly, in due jourse of proeeeding, Turpin's real estate has been sold, and brought more than the aggregate amount for which Selden and his sureties were liable; and the claim due the (How- ards) complainants in this cause has been fully paid, and also the claim of John L. Cocke's estate. But it having been alleged that Daniel Stringer's estate has now assets available for making good its liability, in part or in whole, in behalf of Gordon's to Selden's estate, and that of William A. Turpin, Selden's surety, the devisees of Turpin filed their petition in this court, praying to subject the estate of Daniel Stringer to the re-imbursement of their father's estate for the amount paid by it under the deeree of this court. Answers were filed to this petition by formai parties to the suit. Whereupon the court referred the cause again to Commissioner Hudnall to report on the issues raised by the petition and answers, and this commissioner made a report in June, 1879, to which there was no exception, bring- ing down his report of September, 1877, to that date.

But the fact that this option existed, and that the represent- atives of both estates elected to accept the Powhatan court's leeree as determining their rights, does not put it in the )ower of Gordon's sureties to require them to repudiate that Jecree, and to require the Howards, so repudiating, to bring •heir action upon Charles Selden's bond. The Powhatan ^lourt's decree was conclusive against all the parties to it, of which Stringer's executor was one, and this executor is estopped by it, on the principle of res judicata, from making this third objection. 4. As to the fourth ground of objection, that is virtually disposed of in what has already been said. If valid, it should bave been raised in Selden's suit for account in the circuit court of Powhatan. The suit here is upon a decree of that court which settled the liability of Gordon and his sureties to Selden or his estate, and to the estates of Cocke and St. John. The validity of that decree, even though it included a liability of Gordon and his sureties fro some other high sheriflf than Selden, cannot be impeaohed collaterally in this court or in the suit here. At best, moreover, the objection is technieal only, and does not affect the merits of the case in a manner prejudicial to Stringer's executor. 5. The fifth objection strikes me as a non sequitur. AU the parties to the suit in the state court are bound by the decree there. That decree determined, as against all these parties, that Gordon and his sureties, who were parties, owed to Cocke's estate and to St. John's estate, respectively, two defined sums of money. I believe Cocke and St. John were, in their life-time, parties to the suit; but that, on their death, during its progress, it was inadvertently not revived as against theif representatives. Be this as it may, it was competent for that court to determine, as between the parties to that suit, the amount of Gordon's default as deputy sheriff, and to ascertain, as against him and his sureties, and as against<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 9upoari8hekai019al08045rq7urlpq Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/488 104 646166 15135224 8173752 2025-06-14T22:29:43Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTEB → PORTER, BBPORT → REPORT, BAL RE → RAL RE, removed: � (11) 15135224 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>476 jJJSDBRAL REPORTER. « the plaintiff's vendor's lien; for a sale of the lands, etc. There is nothing in the complaint to indicate that the sale by plaintiff to Ginaca and Gintz was made by liim as town- site trustee, or in any ôther than his individual capacity. Ginaca and Gintz, demurred; the demurrer was overruled, and they assigned to answer in 10 days. Having failed to answer in that time, default was entered against them. The defendants Friend, Terry, and Doane answered, de- nying any sale from Berry to Ginaca and Gintz, or convey- ance by him otherwise than as a town-site trustee, and set- ting up a purchase by them at sheriff's sale, upon an alleged judgment obtained by them against Ginaca and Gintz by con- fession. The laws of the United States (Eev. St. § 2387) authorize, in a given case, a county judge to enter at the proper land- office land settled upon and occupied as a town site "in trust for the several use and benefit of the occupants thereof, ac- cording to their respective interests; the execution of which trust, as to the disposai of the lots in such town and the pro- ceeds of the sale thereef," to be regulated by the state legis- lature. The legislature of Nevada, after providing a mode of ascer- taining the interests of the respective occupants, has required the trustee to convey, by a good deed, any parcel of the land to the person entitled, acoording to the right as it existed at the time the entry was made. 2 Comp. Laws Nev, § 3857. After the patent has issued to the trustee from the United States, he is required to make such deed to the person legally entitled "on payment of his * * * proper and due pro- portion of the purchase money for said land," together with certain other allowances to the trustee for making the deed, acquiring the title, and administering the trust, "and the foregoing charge shall be fuU payment for ail expenses at- tending the execution, except for revenue stamps."

The court denied the only equitable relief asked, viz., the correction of the alleged error in the pplicy, and concladed by saying that "as the remedy of the plaintiff, Graves, on the pplicy, to the extent of his own interest, is complete at law.tbe decree of- the circuit court dismissing his bill must be affirmed." Now, in that case, if the plaintiffs had obtained the equitable relief asked, the court of eqnity -would have go^e on and given fuU relief upon the reformed poliey; but, the equitable relief being denied, nothing remained but a legal right capable of adequate re- dresB ,ç,t law, and the plaintiffs were dismissed to that forupi. This case is cited in Hipp y, Pabin, 19, How. 271, 278, to show that relief bas been. denied "in cases in equity where the remedy at law bas beei^ plain, adequate, and complete, though the question was not raised by the defendants in their plep,dipg8, nor suggested by the counsel in their arguments;" because. it is a question of jurisdiction, and "no admission of parties can change the law, or give jurisdiction to a court in a cause of which it hath no jurisdiction ;" and, further, when- eyer a court of law is competent to take cognizance of a cause, the plaintiff must prpoeed at law, "because the defend- ant has a constitutional right to a trial by jury," "In the courts of the Unitçd States it (this question) is regarded as jurisdictional, and may be enforced by the court sua sponte, though not raised bythe pleading nor suggested by counsel." Parker v. Cotton e Woolen Co. 2 Black, 545, 550. Where the remedy at law is adequate, the party seeking redress must pursue it. In such case the adverse party has a constitu- tional right to trial by jury." Id. 551. It being a question of power to make a decree, the fact that Ginaca and Gintz have made def ault cannot give the court jurisdiction to deçree in a casenot of equitable cognizance. It seems to us clear that whenever no equitable relief is given the plaintiff can bave no standing in a court of equity ; for, in Buch cases, the only ground upon which a court of equity pro- ceeds to give legal relief is that the party was compelled to corne to the court of equity, and ought not to be deprived of the legal remedy incidental to his equitable claim.

So far, theû, as the 375 shares are concerned it seerns clear that there is no liability on the defendant's part; but that he is properly chai-geable with the 125 shares, which were regu- larly purehased in the board, has hardly been seriously con- ti-adicted. It was suggested, however, that the order for 500 shares might and ought to be regarded as an entire contract, and that the defendant was not bound to take less than the whole 500 shares. A sufficient answer tô this position is that, upon receiving the defendant's order to buy 500 shares at a limit of three dollars, the undertaking of Prankel & Block, as brokers, was not to deliver the whole absolutely, but to buy 80 much as could be bought in the regular way below or at the limit. Moreover, there are no ciroumstances in this case showing, or tending to show, that the defendant regarded the purchase of the whole number.of shares as essential to the value of a part. An ordinary broker's contract for the buying of stock, each share of which has a distinct and inde- pendant value, cannot be regarded as entire. The resuit upon this stock transaction is that the defendant is entitled to a credit for 375 shares, at three dollars per share, for com- missions, and for interest thereon, at the rate of 2 per cent. per month, from September 28, 1874, down to the day of , 187-, and at 10 per cent, per ^nnum thereafter, 80 long as those rates have been charged against him in the account sued on. The charges for telegrams were made in this way : Prankel & Block were in the habit of receiving orders daily for the purchase and sale of mining stocks. It often happened that a number of orders would be sent to San Francisco in one dispatch. In such case the practice was to charge each cus- tomer having an order therein 75 cents, (that being the proper charge for a single telegram of 10 words,) although such cus- tomer's proportion of the actual cost was of ten^ if not always, much less. Sometimes a single order would be sentJor one customer, and then the actual cost of the' telegram was charged. But how often this may bave been; done in defend^ ant's case nowhere appears.

It thus appears that he re- tained the last aecount more than a year without objection. This warrants fully the presumption that he acquiesced in the accounts, and it ia unnecessary that he should bave given an express assent. Wiggins v. Burkham, 10 Wall. 129. The defendant, however, says that acquiescence ought not to be presumed, because he did not in faet know what rate of interest was charged to him in bis accounts. It is perhaps a sufficient answor to this to say that, having been in the receipt of these monthly accounts for a year, if he did not know be should bave known that he was bound to examine them enough to discover what a very slight exam- ination would bave disclosed, upon the principle that a party is chargeable with knowledge when the means of knowledge are within bis reacb. Ogden v. astor, 4 Sandf. 332. It would, indeed, be wrong to permit the defendant to lie by without objection while bis broker advanced large sums for him upon the understanding that the rate of interest was to be as charged. But there can be no reasonable doubt that Strouse did know and assent to the rate of interest as charged. Hia account was large, the interest charge alone some months amounting to over $800. The account for July is as follows : July 1. To balance, <• $39,695 73 " 10. Assesst. 200 Davey, B m 100 00 ", 30. 30 Ophir, 57, - - 1,710 00 Com. and tel. • 18 60 " 31, Interest^ ' 817 50 Cr.

The argument is that the charge for interest is illegal, and while the creditors in this case had a right to apply the payments, his right is confined to demands which are legal, and can be enforced. Upon this point the law seems entirely settled. So far as I can discover, there is no conflict of authority. The established rule is that when a creditor has two demands, one of which is lawful and the other unlawful, — that is to say, arising out of some contract prohibited by law, — the creditor can apply an unappropriated payment only to the lawful demand. Rohan v. Hanson, 11 Cash. 44; Caldwell v. Wentworth, 14 N. H. 431; Bancrqft v. Dumas, 21 Vt. 456. ,; But inany demands are la\vful which cannot be recovered by a suit at law, and to the payment of ail such demands the creditor maylawfully apply mpneypaid to him by his debtor, whenever the debtor fails to make açy appropriation. Thus a, debt.barred by the statute of limitations may be liquidated in preference to debts not barred. Ramsey v. Wasner, 97 ^^Sb^B.^y MilUy^.FowheSf 5 Kng. (^.:C.)e55; Williams v. Qriffi.tJ.iy5 M.. &^^ 300. ' ' . ,,,:So in .cases where no recovery. can be had because the promise is not in writàng, as required by the statute of frauda. Haynea y^ Nice, 100 M.&B3,B27; Murphy \.Webber,61 Me. i78. . In like manner, where a statute did not prohibit the sale of liquor, but enacted "that no person should maintain any action for sums for or on account of spirituous liquors, " it was held the seller might apply an appropriated payment to the account for liquors and sue for other articles. Philpott v. Jones, 2 A. & E. 41 ; Cruikshank v. Rose, 1 Mood. & Eob. 100. So, where the creditor had an equitable demand, arising out of partnership relations, he was allowed to apply payments, made generally, to the equitable claim, and sue at law for his legal demand. Sosanquet v. Uray, 6 Taunt. 597. These cases illustrate the distinction which is made between con- traets "which the law simply declines to enforce, and those which it directly prohibits." Phillip v.

In cases in which amendments 6t the record have been permitted, it has been dooe to supply some defect,'and to conform it with the truth or the real intention of the court. But in the present case there is no defect in the record. It speaks the truth, and is exactly that which the court intended it should be. The general finding of the issues of fact in favor of the plaintiff satisfies the requirements of section 649, and -was made and signed by the judge, and intended to be a general, as distinguished from a special, finding. Here, then, there is . no defect, no mistake, no error; "the record conforms to and «xhibits the truth." A special finding of facts, if signed and allowed to be filed now, would contradict the record. The judgment of this court was based upon a general, not a spe- cial, verdict. There is nothing in this record by which the amendment asked can be made. In the case of Ins. Co. v. Boon, 95 U. S. 117, there was no technieal finding of facts, general or special, and there was therefore a defect in the record. The opinion read on the decision, and filed, con- "tained the statement of facts upon which the judgment was based. "Ail that was wanting to make it a suffieient special finding," say the court, "was that it was not entitled 'finding of facts.' " I see nothing in that case to warrant the course asked in this. That was the correction of a defect in the rec-, ord in conformity to the truth, by the aid of the opinion of the judge; this would be a change of the record not in ac- cordance with, but in contradiction of, the truth- The prayer that special findings of fact be signed and filed nunc pro tune, as of the November term, must be denied.

Section 738, Rbt. St., Con8tkot!d. This section does not refer to a suit like the present, in which the plaintiS seeks, through a receiver, to apply the general property of a defendant to the payment of his debts, but to suite in equity, to enforce some pre-existing lien or daim upon a speciac piece of property. James L. Crittenden, for plaintifiF. Robert M. Clarke, for receiver. Philip G. Galpin, for defendant. HiLLYBE, D. J. This is a motion to vaeate a fomier order of this court, appointing Balph L. Shainwald receiver of the property of the defendant, Lewis, in the district Of Nevada, The plaintifl is the assignee in bankruptcy of the firm of Schoenfeld, Cohen & Co., and of Louis S. Schoenfeld, Isaao Newman, and Simon Cohen, who have been adjudicated bank- rupts by the district court of California. After his appoint- ment as assignee the plaintiff filed a bill in equity in the dis- trict court of the United States for California, against the defendant, Harris Lewis, by which he sought to bave a cer- tain judgment obtained by; Lewis against the bankrupts set aside on the ground that the judgment was fraudulent. In that suit the plaintiff obtained a decree setting thesaid judg- ment aside, declaring the evidence upon which it was based fraudulent, and the defendant, Lewis, a trustee of ail the property acquired by him under said judgment for the ben- efit of the creditors of the bankrupt firm and of the assignee. He was also decreed to pay a large amount of money, nearly $100,000, by way of damages, interest, and costs, Upon this<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 7ovkv5gop8lbd748oalgi58neefgv9u Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/526 104 646208 15135231 8173796 2025-06-14T22:29:50Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, ORTBB → ORTER, removed: � (5) 15135231 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>Si4 .DJBOBBi;Ii aKPORTER; an iattachmekt of his propertj? iii Ehode Island.

On the Portland side of the river the boat landed at a pontoon about iO feet wide, with a circular recess in the front of it about 20 feet across and 8 feet deep in the center, into which thô bow of the boat was run, and then fastened by a line taken from the boat on the port or upper side at or near the end of the ràiling, and belàyed tô a kevel on the upper side of the pontoOn about 10 feet from the boat, and then an apron about 12 feet in length was turned over from the front of the former on'to the bow of the latter, which served as a bridge upon which wagons crossed the joint or slight opening between the boat and pontoon, while the foot pàssengers usually stepped off from the former on to the latter anywhere within the circle, The cabin was in the middle of thfi boat, runningfore and aft, with a pilot-house at either end and a wagon way on either side, with a stairway at each end asoend- ing between the house and the cabin — the one then next to the shore from the port side. While crossing the river the deceased and the family, with two or three others, occupied the cabin, which was lighted, but the light did not produce any efifect forward of the pilot-house. The mail wagon, drawn by two horses, was on the port side roadway and nearly abreast of the stairway leading into the cabin. On this occa- sion, owing to the darkness, the boat did not make her land- ing at the pontoon direct, but ran in Irom down the stream, and at an angle of about 57 degrees -with the line of its face, and went hard up against the pontoon at each end of the cir- cular recess therein, leaving a crescent-shaped space between it and the pontoon and these points of about 18 inches in width at the center.

The pilot, (Charles F. Jones,) who, under the cireumstances, ap- pears to be a fair witness, did call ont from the pilot-house, àiid probably as the deceased was going forward, "to stand liacik." But there is no evidence that the call was particu- lafly intended fox the deceased, or if it was that he had any reason to think so, or even that he heard it. There were other persons in iiSbnt of the pilot-house, also going forward, as well as the deceased. ^ The deceased was a stranger to the boat, the place, and the manner of proceeding. He saw the great bulk of the passengers had gone off, and if he heard the call he might as well have understood it as applicable to the hôtel runners on the edge of the pontoon waiting to catch the rest of the passengers. Some of the witnesses on shore also state that they cried, "Stand back," intending it for the de- ceased, without, however, mentioning any name. But their testimony upon this point is vague and indefinite, and upon other points where the facts are clear some of them are' much mistaken.

Railroad V. Letson, 2 How. 497; Marshall v. Railroad, 16 How. 314; Muller V , Dows, supra. This fiction has been repeatedly resorted to in support of the jurisdiction of the federal courts, and must, necessarily, be as efficaeious to defeat it in a case like this. The fact that these presumptive citizens of Kentncky are, by like pre- sumption, at the same time citizens of Tennessee, Missis- sippi, and Louisiana, by reason of charters granted in those states, cannot alter the principle, The plaintif here is a citizen of Kentxicky, and the defendants (a corporation) are, by this conclusive presumption, citizens of the same state, and, therefore, the conditions required by the constitution to give us jurisdiction do not exist. Neither can the fact that these ineorporators, owning charters in several states, bave authority of law to conduot their business as a single or Con- solidated corporation change this resuit. In each state, by operation of this presumption, they are conclusively held to be citizens of that state, and of that state alone. This seems to me to be the principle that underlies the question, and to be conclusive against the jurisdiction. It is said, in the case of the Bank of Augusta v. Earle, 13 Peters, 519, that a corporation can have no legal existence eut of the bounds of the sovereignty by which it is created. It exists only in contemplation of law and by force of the law, and where that law ceases to operate the corporation can have no existence. It must dwell in the place of its existence. And this was reiterated in Marshall v. Railroad, supra, 16 How. 328. It may contract, sue, and be sued elsewhere, but when we corne to the question of its residence or habitat, it must be taken to be in the state which created it. Dodge v. Woolsey, 18 How. 331; Wheeling v. Baltimore, 1 Hughes, 90.

Thus it will be seen that the aet under which the bonds were issued was passed in 1867, and before either the village or city of New London came into existence; that the village was incorporated in 1868; that the bonds were issued in 1872; and that the city was incorporated in 1877. And upon these facts and this state of legislation, in connection with certain provisions contained in the charters of the vil- lage and city, it is contended that the village had no legisla- tive authority tq issue the bonds. It may first be observed that the voters and the authorities of the village, by their action under the enabling aet of 1867, construed and treated it as authorizing them to issue the bonds in suit, and as applicable to the village, although it did not exist as a municipality when the aet was passed. And we are of the opinion that the aet is so far prospective, in its language and intent, that under it not only could a city or village then existing issue its bonds for the purposes speci- iied, but any city or village thereafter incorporated, in any county through which the railway should run, might, if it saw fit, avail itself of the right and authority conferred by the aet to incur indebtedness in aid of such railway. It is true, the aet does not in terms specify cities and villages then and thereafter existing, but its language and import are nev- ertheless very general and eomprehensive. It provides that it shall be lawful for any incorporated city or village, in any county through any portion of which any part of the Green Bay & Lake Pepin Eailway shall run, to issue and deliver bonds in accordance with the terms of the aet. It would not, we think, be consonant with rules of sound construction to limit the application of this language to munioipalities exist- ing at the time of the passage of the aet. And especially does it seem unreasonable to give the benefit of such a con- struction to a municipality which has aoted under the statute, and caused its obligations to be issued and to pass into the hands of innocent third parties, thereby adopting the statute as its letter of authority so to aet.

The plaintiff contended that the statutes made a grant of power to the township, but imposed a condition precedent to its exercise, and that as the bonds contained a recital that they were issued in pursuance to the acts of the general assembly of Ohio, and as the township had levied taxes and paid interest for eight years, the defendants were estopped, under the decisions of the supreme court of the United States in numerous similar cases, to set up the non-happening of th»' precedent contingency as against bona fide holders for value. Secondly, that even if the power did not arise at once upon the passage of the act of March 21, 1850, still, as the county failed to vote at the next annual election, to-wit, Ootober, 1850, as provided for by the act of February 28, 1846, the township thereupon, under the authority of Shoemaker v. Go- shen Township, 14 0. S. 569, 580, became vested with power, and it would be presumed upon the recitals in the bond, in favor of a purchaser for value without notice, that the power had been exercised and the subscription made while the town- ship was thus vested with power, and that the defendants were estopped to set up that the subscription was in fact made after the county had voted in June, 1851, to subscribe to the stock of the railroad company, and had subscribed therefor in August, 1851. The defendants contended that the township derived no immediate power from the acts of the legislature, and that, if the county commissioners were authorized by a vote of the electors of the county to subscribe, the township never became vested with power to make a subscription, and that the action of the county, being matter of record, was notice to everybody; and, further, that the trustees of the township were not made the tribunal to decide whether the county had acted in the matter.

This disposition to encourage and provoke jealousy and opposition ought not to be tolerated. If in this case we should f eel compelled to dis- sent from the decisions of the supreme court of the state, and ignore its construction of the statutes in question, we would do 80 because we entertain a different view of the law, and not because of any want of respect for that leared tribunal. "The federal courts, by their decisions, have uniformly sustained to the utmost of there authority the sanctity of commercial paper in the hands of bonafide holders for value, ■without notice of defences not appearing upon the face of the paper itself. We concur in these decisions, but think these courts will not go any further in that direction. "The distinction, if there be any, between this case and the decisions of the supreme court cited and relied upon by plaintiff's counsel, is somewhat shadowy, and lies in the fact that in those cases the power to decide whether precedent conditions, on which authority to issue the bonds depended, had been performed, was conûded to the persons authorized to make such issue ; whereas in this case the authority to decide this preliminary question was by the statutes vested in the county commissioners, and not in the township trustees who issued the bonds in controversy. It became the duty of the county commissioners to ascertain and declare the resuit of the vote at the county election held for the purpose of de- termining whether the county would subscribe stock to said railroad — a fact necessary t() be ascertained before the power of the defendant township to subscribe arose. A copy of that abstract, by law made a matter of record, is in evidence. It shows that the county did vote to subscribe stock, and it fol- lows under the statute that the township had no such au- thority; for the statutes which the plaintiff insists conferred the authority to the township to subscribe, conferred it only on condition that no subscription was made by the county.

That was allowed in the state court, but the supreme court in that respect overruled the state court and declared that the issue of the bonds was in the hands of the parties whose duty it was to declare the resuit, and the county ■was precluded by the action of its own agents in determining the fact, which, by the statute, was committed to them to decide. Now, the determination here was by the county côm- missioners and not by the trustees of the township. It was made by the county authorities, was entered of record, and evidenced by the public records of the county ; and to that extent the facts of this case differ from all the cases that have been read. Notwithstanding all this, and notwithstanding the decisions of the supreme court of the state of Ohio, I have — and I believe my associate participates in the same uncer- tainty — very grave doubt whether the supreme court of the United States may not hold these bonds valid in the hands of honafide purohasers without notice of the facts. We are in questions of this kind not precluded by the construction of state statutes. I believe that it bas been well settled that federal courts will, on questions of this kind, construe the statutes for themselves; but the decision of the supreme court of Ohio, repeated so frequenfcly, is an authority, and is entitled to respect at the hands of this court; and we have determined to administer the law as it has been interpreted by the supreme court of the state of Ohio, though the question is a close one and may be said to be a doubtful one. If our judgment was final, if there were no means of reviewing it, we would take further time to investigate thoroughly and fully the authorities relative to and bearing upon the question ; but this case is open to a review by the supreme court of the United States, and, I suppose, were the decision to be either way it would finally go to the supreme court of the United<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 89idezste2my5gvf8x77au8pc12g6pu Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/594 104 646278 15135242 8173870 2025-06-14T22:30:02Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (12) 15135242 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>582 FEDEBaii aEPORTER.

The non-forfeiture law of the state of Massachusetts (8t. 1861, e. 186) is not made applicable to the policies of foreign Insurance com- panies by the act of 1872, c. 325.— [Ed. W. F. e W. S. Slocum, for plaintiff, Dwight Foster, for defendant. Nelson, D. J. This suit was originally brought in the supericr court of Massachusetts, and was removed to this court by the defendant. It is an action upon a policy of insuranee for $3,000, issued by the defendant corporation, May 18, 1874, upon the life of Arthur R. Smith, and payable at the office of the company, in the city of New York, to his Personal representatives, in 60 days after notice and proof of the death of the assured. The case is submitted to the court upon a statement of facts agreed upon by the parties. The plaintiff is the widow of the assured, and bas become the purchaser of the policy from the administrator of her hus- band; and, as assignee of the policy, brings this action under the Massachusetts Statute of 1878, c. 158, which authorizes purchasers of claims sold by an executer or administrator, under license of the probate court, to sue therefor in their own names. The defendant corporation is a life insuranee company, incorporated by the laws of the state of New York, having its usual place of business in the city of New York, and bas been duly authorized to do business in the state of Massachusetts, under the laws thereof.

Two reasons were foroibly presented by the learned counsel for the defendant why the act should not have the above interpretation : (1) Because it was asking the court, by judi- cial construction, to extend the mqnopoly and life of a patent for two years beyond the time prescribed by the law; (2) because the machine patent having expired, and belonging to the public, it was a contradiction in terms to hold that its use could be restrained on the ground that by its use other patents were infringed. These reasons need not be consid- ered separately, and I think the difficulties which they sug- gest grow out of a misapprehension of what the court is supposed, in fact, to do in the case, The argument was that if an inventor procures a patent for a machine, and, after holding it for any length of time less than two years, is per- mitted, without the surrender of the original and a re-issue, to apply for a patent for the process employed, and the product obtained from the use of the machine, and then, after the expiration of the machine patent, may restrain its use by the public untU the process and product patents run out, it is practically extending the life of the first patent, and giving the owner a monopoly beyond the period of time to which the law in express terms limited it. But the court does not propose to restrain generally the use of the machine but only such unlawf ul use of it as infringes the vested rights of others. As long as separate patents for a machine, and the process and the product, are allowable, they represent distinct inventions, (Kelleher v. Darling, 14 0. G. 673,) and each one may live, without interference or molestation, its whole life without regard to the death of the others. While the product patent continues in existence, the manufacture of the product by any instrumentality is prohib- iied, and it is no answer to the charge of infringement to say : "I had the right to use the particular mechanism by which I obtained the product."<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ez3g7jgre3jlohod9zzirb0gjfol70r Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/614 104 646298 15135245 14644284 2025-06-14T22:30:05Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, EEPO → REPO, EPOET → EPORT, PORTB → PORTE, removed: � (8) 15135245 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>60'2 FEDERAL REPORTER. Choate, D J. This is a petition filed by the owner of the steam-boat Seawahnaka for the beneflt of the acts of Congress for limiting the liability of owners of vessels, The original petition alleged that the petitioner is a New York corporation owning and running a line of steam-vessela for the carriage of freight and passengers between the city of New York and Eoslyn, and intermediate points and places all in the state of New York, and that its vessel the Seawah- naka was one of said line, and was duly enrolled at the office of the ooUector of New York; that on the twenty-eighth day of Jnne, 1880, while said yessel was on her regular trip from New York to Eoslyh with a large number of passengers, and a large and valuable cargo belonging to several persons, and when near Hell Gate, she was found to be on are, and it be- came necessary to beach her, which was done on Eandall's island, where she burnt to the water's edge and became an utter wreck ; that the cargo and other property on board were thereby lost and destroyed, and many of the passengers were killed or drowned or seriously injured, and that no freight had been received on said cargo; that the fire happened, and the loss and damage was done and ineurred, without the de- sign, neglect, or fault of the petitioner, and without its privity or knowledge ; that certain claims have been made and cer- tain suits have been commeneed against the petitioner by persons claiming to have sustained damage as owners, ship- pers, or coasignors of cargo, or as passengers, or representa- tives or relatives of passengers killed by said disaster, and that said claims far exceed the value of said wrôck. The prayer of the petition is for the appointment of a trustee to reçoive a transfer of the said wreck, for a monition to all parties having claims to come in and make proof thereof and answei-, for a decree determining the liability of the peti- tioner and limiting its liability, if found liable at all, to the value of said wreck, for the distribution of its proceeds among the claimants if entitled thereto, and for an order restrain- ing all Buits pending the final determination of this pro- ceeding.

The Daniel Bail, 10 Wall. 565; The Thomas Swan, 6 Ben. 42; The Sunswich, Id. 112. The case of The BrightStar, 1 Woolw. 266, is not inconsistent with this conclusion, upon the very distinct and positive averments of the amended petition in respect to the business in which this steam-boat was engaged. This amendment, however, does not relieve the court from the necessity of determining the question as to the jurisdiction of the court upon the case made by the original petition, since, if that petition did not siate a case within the admiralty and maritime jurisdiction of the court, it would be proper, if not necessary, in view of the decree which the court may make, being operative upon parties who have not appeared, that an alias monition should be issued upOn the amended petition; and it is, perhaps, questionable whether the transfer of the wreck already made, which was sold before the amendment of the petition, would be available to the petitioners in this proceeding, if the court had not then jurisdiction of the case made by the petition. The question, therefore, whether the original petition stated a case within the jurisdiction of the court must be considered. The question thus raised is one of the greatest importance, involving questions of the respective rights and powers of the United States and of the states. The questions are— First, whether congress has the constitutional power to pass an act limiting the Uability of the ownera of vessels engaged only in commerce between ports of the state of New York, but carried on upon the high seas or navigable waters of the United States ; and, secondly, whether, if congress has this power, it has exercised it in the act known as the limited liability act, (St. 1851, c. 43, now Eev. St. 4282 et seq. ;) and, thirdly, if congress has not that legislative power, or has not exercised it, whether in this case, by the maritime law of the United States as it now is, the petitioner is entitled to a decree lim- iting its liability in a case not within the terms of the statute<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> dauzoqzbik3myapzsqwqghpugr6e5i3 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/626 104 646310 15135247 14560991 2025-06-14T22:30:07Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EPORTB → EPORTE, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (5) 15135247 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>614 FEDERAL REPORTER. Tlius it is suggested, in the case of The Lottawanna, that con- gress might, by law, adopt as a uniform rule for the whole country that rule of the general maritime law that material men shall have a lien for materials and supplies furnished to a vessel in its home port. The Lottawanna, 21 Wall. 577. The court in the same case also say : "Perhaps the maritime law is more uniformly followed by the commercial nations than the civil and common laws are by those who use them. But like those laws, however fixed, definite, and beneficiai the theoretical code of maritime law may be. it can bave only so far the effect of law in any country as it is permitted to have. But the actual maritime law can hardly be said to have a fixed and definite form as to all the subjects which may be embraced within its scope. Whilst it is true that the great mass of maritime law is the same in all commercial countries, yet in each country peeuliarities exist either as to some of the rules, or in the mode of enforcing them. * * * No one doubts that every nation may adopt its own maritime code. France may adopt one, England another, the United States a third ; still the convenienceof the commercial world, bound together as it is by mutual relations of trade and intercourse, demands that in all essential things wherein those relations bring them in contact, there should be a uni- form law founded on natural reason and justice. Hence the adoption by all commercial nations (our own included) of the general maritime law as the basis and groundwork of all their maritime regulations. But no nation regards itself as pre- cluded from making occasional modifications suited to its locality and the genius of its own people and institutions, espeeially in matters that are of merely local and municipal consequence, and do not affect other nations. * * * Eaeh state adopts the maritime law, not as a code having any independent or inherent force proprio vigore, but as its own law, with such modifications and qualifications as it sees fit. Thus adopted and thus qualified in each case, it becomes the mari- time law of the particular nation that adopts it. And with- out such voluntary adoption it would not be the law.

But what the law is within those limits, assuming the general maritime law to be the basis of the System, depends on what bas been received as law in the maritime usages of this country, and on such legislation as may bave been competent to affect it. To ascertain, there- fore, what the maritime law of this country is, it is not enough to read the French, German, Italian, and other foreign Works on the subject, or the codes which they bave framed; but we must bave regard to our own legal history, constitu- tion, legislation, usages, and adjudications as well. The de- cisions of this court illustrative of these sources, and giving construction to the laws and constitution, are especially to be considered; and when these fail us we must resort to the principles by which they have been goverued. But we must always remember that the court cannot make the law : it can only declare it. If within its proper scope any change is desired in its rules other than those of procedure, it must be made by the legislative department. It cannot be supposed that the framers of the constitution contemplated that the law should forever remain unalterable." The court then refers to the power of congress to regulate commerce, and its authority under that power, if no other, to introduce such changes as are likely to be needed, and refers to the laws for the registry of vessels, recording bills of sale and mortgages of vessels, the rights and duties of seamen, the limitation of the responsibilities of ship-owners, and "many other things of a character truly maritime," as illustrations of legislation within the power to regulate commerce, modify- ing the maritime law of the United States.

If, indeed, there were any strong reason or settled poliey of the governmeat for excluding vessels running between port and port of the same state, such further exception might be implied. But there seems to be no such reason or settled poliey. Why do not the same considerations which make the law .just and right, as applied to a vessel running between New York and Stonington, or between Boston and Portland, make it also just and right as applied to a vessel running between New York and Sag Harbor, or between Boston and Provicetown, or Nantucket ; assuming, of course, that congress has equal power in both cases ? That the act was not intended to except vessels trading exclusively between ports of the same state, if, in their voyages, they passed beyond the territorial limits of the state, has been now conclusively determined by the supreme court. Lord v. Steam-ship Co. ut supra, I think no suf&cient reason exista for such discrimination, and that there is no reason of public poliey which should, with- out an expressed exception, exclude vessels running between ports of a single state from the beneficiai operation of this rule of damages, and this restriction of. remedies thus adopted by congress for the govemment of the admiralty coui:ts of the United States, nor from the operation of this newly-adopted rule of the maritime law, if the statute can take efl'ect as the adoption of a new rule of the maritime law. Uniformity in the maritime law is one of its peculiar char- teristics, — one of the things which makes it most beneficent in its operation; and the great benefits to resuit from such uni- formity in the maritime law, as administered in the courts of the Union, was one of the inducements to the adoption of the constitution, and the controUing reason for conferring oh the general govemment the exclusive jurisdiction of ail admiralty and maritime causes, — as well thôse arising in the com- merce of the state on navigable waters as those arising in Interstate and foreign commerce.

Tbese rules have been made oper- ative by act of congress. Are the rule of the port helm and the rule of the colored side lights, as preseribed by act of con- gress, merely regulations of foreign and interstate commerce? They undoubtedly are regulations of commerce, and as such binding as matter of positive law on American ships en- gagea in interstate and foreign commerce while within the territorial limits of the United States. But the supreme court has expressly held, as to the rule of the lights to be carried at sea, that since the adoption of the rule by congress, it may be as a regulation of commerce, the rule is to be re- gardedas the rule of the sea — a part of the maritime law of the United States to be administered in its admiralty courts. The Scotia, 14 Wall. 187. The court there saya : "Undoubtedly, no single nation can change the law of the sea. That law is of universal obligation, and no statute of one or two nations can create obligations for the world. Like ail the laws of nations, it rests upon the consent of civilized communities. It is of force, not because it was preseribed by any superior power, but because it has been generally accepted as a rule of con- duct. Whateyer may have been its origin, whether in the usages of navigation or va the ordinances of maritime states, or in both, it has become the law of the sea only by the con- current sanction of those nations who may be said to consti- tute the commercial world. Many of the usages which prevaU, and which bave the force of law, doubtless originated in the positive prescriptions of spme single state, which were at first of limited effect, but which, when generally accepted, became of universal obligation. * * * And it is evident that unless general assent is efficacious to give sanction to interna- tional law, there never can be that growth and development of maritime rules which the constant changes in the instru- ments and necessities of navigation require.

It is insisted, however, on the part oi parties who Iiave com- menced suits for personal damage, and also by those who have commenced suits as administrators under the state statutes, that their claims are not liable to be eut off by a decree in this case, and that the restraining order as to them should be set aside. The question, whether a claim for per- sonal injuries is within the statuts, was carefully examined in the case of The Epsilon, ut supra, and I see no reason to dissent from the conclusion of Judge Benedict in that case. I do not understand that it is held in that case, as argued in this, that such parties cannot share in the fund, On the contrary, eo far as that point is touched upon, the opinion of the; court was to the effect that they could share in it. On the authority of that case, and on what is hereinbefore said as to the nature of these claims and the claims for damages by administrators or relatives of persons killed, I am of opin- ion that they cannot be distinguished from claims arising out of loss of cargo. It is insisted, also, that by section 4493 of Eevised Statutes damages to the person or by loss of baggage are taken out of the operation of the limited liability act. I think it is clear that this is not so, but that in any case to which section 4493 applies, in order that the owner may have the benefit of the limited liability, the damages must not have happened through any neglect or failure to comply with the regulations of the statutes relating to steam-vessels, nor through known defects of the steaming apparatus or huU. To this extent this section modifies the act, but both are re-enacted as parts of the Eevised Statutes, and there is no difficulty in giving them both their proper effect. It is very clear, also, that the provision in this section that in such cases parties injured may recover their full damages, is consistent only with the theory that, by other provisions of law, the liability to passengers for personal injury and loss of baggage was subject to some limitation. The objections that these objecting parties are entitled to have their cases tried by a jury, and that the right is reserved to them as part of their common-law remedies by the judici- ary act, (Eev.

If the decision of this court is against the owner on the ground that the damage did not occur without his privity or knowledge, or without that kind and a measure of negligence mentioned in section 4493, then the decree of this court dis- missing the petition on the merits will be an equally conclu- sive determination of the question of negligence in favor of the passenger or shipper of cargo in his suit in the state court. But to argue that a passenger or shipper can main- tain a suit in the state court pending the proceeding in this court, because the complaint in the state court alleges a case of damage or loss oocurring with the privity or knowledge of the owner, or by his negligence, and therefore not a case within the protection of the statute, is to overlook the fact that the chief object of the statute was to submit that very question, whether the damage or loss was so incurred, once for ail, and as between the owners and all the passengers and shippers, to the admiralty court ; and that it was to make the jurisdiction of this court to determine that question efifectual, that the statute provided that upon the institution of the pro- ceeding and the transfer of the vessel, all claims and proceed- ings against the owner should cease. It was argued that the arrangement of the statute into sections in the Eevised Statutes showed more clearly than the original statute an intention to except out of its operation injuries to the person, Such an inference as to the construc- tion fromi the arrangement of the statutes in sections is incon- sistent with Eev. St. § 5600; and, in general, in the con- struction of the Eevised Statutes an intention to change the existing laws, which this revision purports to re-enactor cod- ify, is not to be presumed from trifiing changes of phrase- ology. The preaumption is against an intended change of construction, unless that intention to change the law is clearly apparent. Eev. St. §§ 5595-5601.

It cannot be supposed that this was to remain on the statute book a mere brutum fultnen, with no power to carry it into effect and see that it was executed. Clearly, as to any suit pending in a federal court, the duty would remain where it was before, and the court in which the limited lia- bility proceeding was pending would issue the restraining order. It would be so unusual and questionable an exercise of legislative power by congress to make a direction requir- ing state courts to issue such a restraining order, that I think nothing short of the most explicit declaration of an intent to do 80 would justify the conclusion that suoh an intent ex- isted. It is most improbable, too, that the necessary power to carry into effect the grant of exclusive jurisdiction to a court of the United States, clearly intended to be exercised by some authority, should not be conf erred upon the court whose juris- diction and whose suitors are to be defended against inter- ference.. It is very likely that the person who framed section 720 overlooked' the faot that there was another law in force besides the laws relating to bankruptcy under which the courts of the United States could restrain proceedings already com- menced in a state court ; but in view of the fact that this other law was embodied in the same revision, that its meaning and force were determined by decisions of the courts, and that it must be presumed to have been re-enacted with the same meaning, I think the change made in section 720 is not sufficient to show an intention to take away anything from the meaning of section 4285, Section 720 has obviously its principal application to the restraint of suits, which, but for the injunction, the state court would have jurisdiction to go on with and determine. This is true with regard to suits against the bankrupt, stayed under the bankrupt law, and generally where a party is by the rules of equity entitled to enjoin a defendant from going on with a prior suit. The pe- culiarity of this case is that the suit stayed is one in which, by the express terms of an act of congress, the state court is absolutely without jurisdiction to prooeed.

Wright, 13 Wall. 123. The supreme court of Massachusetts, indeed, say in the case above eited (113 Mass. 502) that under the statute of that state the ship-owner has a remedy in the nature of a bill in equity. The court evidently overlooked the fact that under section 563, this being a maritime cause, remedies which courts of equity are competent to give, as distinguished from those which courts of common law are competent to give, are not saved to the suitors in the state courts by that section.

Robert Falligant, for complainant. Clifford Anderson, Att'y Gen., Robert Toombs, and P. L. Mynatt, for railroad commissioners. W. S. Chisholm, for Savannah, Elorida & Western Eailroad Company. Woods, C. J. The question for solution is whether the case made by this bill and amendment, and the afSdavits in support of it, entitles the complainant to the writ of injunc- tion as prayed for in his bill. The first inquiry that arises is, what are the rights of the Savannah, Florida & Western Eailroad Company under the law of its organization ? On behalf of the complainant it is averred that the railroad Com- pany has the right, v?ithin limits prescribed by the charter of the Atlantic & Gulf Eailroad Company, to fix its own sched- ule of freight and passenger fares, and that this right is not subject to legislative control. It is settled that railroad companies are subject to legisla- tive control as to their rates of fare and freight, unless pro- tected by their charters. Munn v. Illinois, 94 U. S. 113; Chicago Street R, Co. v. Iowa, 94 U. S. 161. When the charter of a railroad company allows it to charge maximum rates of fares and freight, but the right is reserved to the legislature to repeal or amend the charter, it may change the rates prescribed by the charter by establishing a maximum limit beyond which they shall not go. Peik v. Chicago, etc., Ry. Co. 94 U. S. 164. By the act of the legislature of Georgia of February 29, 1876, entitled "An act to enable the purchasers of railroads to form corporations, and to exercise corporate powers and priv- ileges," under which the Savannah, Florida & Western Eail- road Company was organized,. it was clothed with ail the rights, privileges, and immunities of the Atlantic & Gulf Eail- road Company.

Even 80 grave a matter as taxation bas always in the state of Georgia even without special constitutional provision been delegated to cities, towns, and county organizations. Bruns- wicky, Finney, 54 Ga. 317 ; Powers v. Dougherty Co. 23 Ga. 65. The rule applicable to the delegation of power by a legis- lature is laid down with great clearness in the case of the Cincinnati, etc., R. Co. v. Clinton Co. 1 Ohio, St. 77. The true distinction, therefore, is between the delegation of power to make the law which necessarily involves a dis- cretion as to what it shall be, and conferring an authority or discretion as to its execution to be exercised under and in pur- suance of the law. The first cannot be done; to the latter no valid objection can be made. The constitution of the state of Illinois, article 4, § 1, declares that "the legislative power should be vested in a general assembly, which shall consist of a senate and house of representatives," etc. Article 13, § 7, of the same consti- tution, declared that "the general assembly shall pass laws for the inspection of grain for the protection of producers, shippers, and receivers of grain." The legislature of Illinois, with this constitutional provision in force, passed an act to establish a board of railroad and warehouse commissioners. This board was empowered to fix the rate of charges for the inspection of grain, and the manner in which the same should be coUected, and to fix the amount of compensation to be paid the chief inspecter and other of&cers, etc. It was objeoted that this was an unwarrantable delegation of legislative power. But the supreme court of that state held that the right to pass inspection laws belonged to the police powers of the govern- ment, and the legislature had the authority to arrange the dis- tribution of said powers as the public exigencies might require, apportioning them to local jurisdictions as the law-making power desraed appro2iriate, and comraitting the exercise of the<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> h1vrogqlkxe1xedrw44drm38dtayv4h Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/672 104 646356 15135257 15129050 2025-06-14T22:30:17Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EBPO → REPO 15135257 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>€60 FEDERAL REPORTER. sion of smuggled goods, "such possession shall be deemed evidence suffieient to authorize a conviction, unless the de- fendant shall explain the possession to the satisfaction of the jury," The statute bocks are full of such acts, but it has never been considered that this impairs the right of trial by jury. But, even if this provision of the act under consideration were unconstitutional, it would not render inoperative the other sections of the statute, from which this provision can be easily removed, and yet leave the main objeet and purpose of the law unimpaired, Packet Co. v. Keokuk, 95 U. S. 80. It is next insisted that the raiiroad commissioners' act is unconstitutional, because it violates that declaration of the bill of rights, paragraph 1, § 3, which declares "private prop- erty shall not be taken or damaged for public uses without just and adequate compensation being first paid. " This clause is a regulation of the exercise of the state's right of eminent domain. An act attempting to fix just and reasonable rates of freight and fares upon the raiiroads of the state can hardly be considered as taking or damaging the property of the raii- road for public use. The objeet of the law is to regulate the charges which the corporation may make in the use of its own property for its own purposes. It does not take it or damage it for public use. The act was passed because its passage was expressly enjoined by the constitution. It does not become obnoxious to the constitutional provision under consideration, and become a taking or damaging of private property for public use, because ail the rates fixed are not just and reasonable, or because they are thought so by the rcailroad companies. Again, the act under consideration is alleged to be uncon- stitutional because obnoxious to paragraph 11, § 1, art. 1, of the constitution, which declares, "Protection to person and property is the paramount duty of the government, and shall be impartial and complete;" and of paragraph 3, § 1, art. 1, which declares that "no person shall be deprived of life, lib- erty, or property without due process of law."

If redress is denied them there, they can apply to the legislature for relief. Believing the law under which the commissioners are appointed to be within the con- stitutional power of the legislature, the redress must corne either from the commissioners or the general assembly ; it is not in the power of this court to give relief. As remarked by Mr. Justice Swayne, in Gilman v. Philadelphia, 3 Wall. 713 : "Many abuses may arise in the legislation of the stateri which are wholly beyond the reach of the government of the nation. The safeguard and remedy are to be found in the vii-tue and intelligence of the people. They can make and unmake constitutions and laws, and from that tribunal there is no appeal. If a state exercise unwisely the power here in question, the evil consequences will fall chiefly on her own citizens. They have more at stake than the citizens of any other state." It has been the policy of Georgia, at least since January 1, 1863, to grant no charter which should not be subject to revision or repeal by the general assembly. Whether wise or unwise, this policy has been einbodied in the constitution of 1877. It was clearly the purpose of the people, in the adoption of that revision of the organic law, to keep the charges of the railroad companies of the state within legisla- tive control. They were not satisfied with the rules of the common law on this subject. The act of October 14, 1879, is but the practical expression of the will of the people of the state as embodied in their organic law. It is the exercise of a right which they have been careful to reserve, and subject to which the defendant company were allowed to exist as a corporation. My conclusion is that the act of the legislature of Georgia, approved October 14, 1879, entitled "An act to provide for the regulation of railroad freight and passenger tariffs in this state," etc., etc., is not in violation of either the constitution of the United States or of the state of Georgia; that under the constitution of Georgia power and authority is conferred on the legislature to pass laws to regulate freight and pas-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> szqxljh80srot2aqq02tnis1dp43j5f Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/680 104 646364 15135259 8173963 2025-06-14T22:30:19Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTEB → PORTER, EBPO → REPO, removed: � (10) 15135259 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>668 FEDERAL REPORTER. 3.

The law and facts of this case, by stipu- lation between the parties, bave been left to the court. The suit was originally brought in the state court, and transferred to this court. It is an action on four bonds of $500 each, numbered 5, 6, 7, and 8, issued by the defendant, and made payable to the Fox Eiver Valley Eailroad Company, on the first of November, 1856, under the authority of an act of the legislature of March 15, 1856, and found in chapter 138 of the Local and Private Laws of Wisconsin of that year. That act authorized several towns in the county of Eacine, Eoches- ter among others, to subscribe to the capital stock of the Fox Eiver Valley Eailroad Company, and pay for the same, in the bonds of the town, — the town of Eochester, — the sum of $15,- 000. The only objection taken to the bonds as not being in accordance with the statute is that they do not appear to have been issued by the board of supervisors. The seventh section of the statute declared that the bonds were to be signed by the chairman of the board of supervisors, ànd eountersigned by the town clerk ; and these bonds appear to be strictly in conformity with the requirements of the statute; and the presumption must be that they were issued under the authority of the board of supervisors. John M. Thompson was a contractor on the railroad, and these bonds were indorsed and transferred to him by the rail- road Company in payment for work done upon the road. There is much confliet in the testimony as to the subsequent disposition and ownership of these bonds. They were at one time held by the Bank of Alfred, Maine, as collateral security for a loan made to Thompson; and in consequence of that indebtedness being discharged or satisfied by Jeremiah M. Mason, the bonds appear to bave come into his hands.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 0u35xc8vs0hm74w4bpxz1agjx47xof5 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/700 104 646384 15135260 14560948 2025-06-14T22:30:20Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (7) 15135260 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>688 PEDJBBAL REPORTER. in the conspiracy. They say now that that purpose was to persuade the marshal not to execute the writ. That was one; another one was that they had heard threats that Brewer's life would be in danger. That was another purpose. This is what they say, the law at this time permitting them to testify in this matter, and as they say it, it is testimony in the case, and you are entitled to consider it— to consider if there was a purpose of some kind in going there, and whether that purpose was a lawful or an unlawful one. On the other hand it is alleged that there was another pur- pose, and that purpose it is insisted is shown by the sur- rounding circumstances to have been an unlawful purpose — a purpose to resist the marshal. The fact that they went for a lawful purpose merely you are not to assume, unless you believe that that is the true state of the case — the true con- dition of things from all the circumstances in the case. And you are entitled to consider what they did at that time ; whether what they did at the time, and constituting a part of the trans- action itself, is consistent with what they now declare, subse- quently to the event, to have been their purpose or not. What was done when they came upon the ground the tes- timony all shows. It is not substantially contradictory. Storer had just left Grow and Hart. There is no testimony that any ill-feeling was manifested between them; there is no testimony that any dispute or harsh language was used among them that morning. The testimony simply indicates that they were talking in a friendly way. Storer had just left for Brewer, who was plowing in a field near by, both in sight of these parties as they arrived. Now, when the de- fendants and their associates arrived, seeing a large number of men, estindated anywhere from 13 to 25 or 30, according to the different views which the several witnesses to^k of it, whatever the number was, — certainly it was not les» than 13, because that is the lowest number that it is put at,— when Hart and Crow saw those men they made an expressionj aa the testimony tends to.show, which indicated that they ex- peoted diffioulty.

I have pointed ont the bearing of the testimony. I will say, further, as to what actually took place, what was actually doue there, there is scarcely asubstantial conflict in the testimony. [Çhe confiict is not so mueh as to what the acts were ; there may be some little as to some points of it. You will recollect what those points are. The conflict is not so much as to what acts were actually performed by the varions parties there,: as it is in regard to the purpose for which those acts were performed. The great conflict is as to whether the purpose is what the defendants, long subsequent to the event and after these lamentable occurrences have taken place, now say was their purpose, or whether that purpose which is indicated by their acts — which is made manifest by their works — was their real purpose; and you are the proper parties to determine whether that purpose which these acts indicate was the real purpose, or whether that which they now say was their purpose, and which they did not in fact accomplish, was the real purpose. Gentlemen, you are the judges of theoredibility of the wit-. nesses, and you are tô take into consideration their situation in reference to this transaction. Many of these witnesses are defendants to this charge, who, under the law as it now stands, and I think wisely, are.permitted to testify; but, gentlemen, you should scrutinize their testimony with care. They are deeply interested in this matter. Seven lives bave been lest in this transaction, and they are now at the bar of justice here charged with the offence of conspiring to resist the United States màrshal, and of having actually resisted him. They stand here subjeot, if found guilty, in the discretion of the court, to imprisonment and fine. Now, what effect this situation may have upon their testimony is a question for you to determine. And so the witnesses on the other side : you are to consider their relation to the transaction, and upon the whole come to such conclusion as you think the evidence justifies, I am free to say that several of these defendants, in my judgment, testified with great fairness.

The bank- rupt purchased Ligon's interest in the mills, and agreed to pay what was estimated as Ligon's share of the Northern note, namely, $584.78. There is some dispute in the testi- mony as to whether it was so understood with the crediter when they canie to substitute the note of the new firm for that of the old firm, but both the register and the court found that the crediter either did not know of or did not assent to any change in the liability of the partners, and that, as to her, there being no con tract for suretyship, ail the obligors were principal debtors, and liable jointly and severally each for the whole amount. But as to the incoming and retiring partner, and the other members of the firm, it was understood that the incoming partner should only be liable to pay one- third the note, and the remaining partners would pay the other two-thirds.

Glearly he is liable directly to the crediter for the whole debt, but if the three makers were all equally solvent, and Hyndman, under compulsion, was to pay the whole, it will not be denied that he could recover the two-thirds from the other two. When Hyndman bought the interest of Ligon he beyond doubt consideredhe was assuming only his liability on the note, and, indeed, it is in proof that he so stated, and had a ealculation made by Mr. Cummins showing what was the amount. "I have been unable to find a decision in point, nor, in- deed, but few even bearing on the question, but the spirit of the law and the decisions are clearly in the direction of the fullest protection to the bankrupt against debts on which he is not primarily bound. I am quite positive that I have seen a decision which goes even much beyond those cited in 10 Bump. 738, but cannot fmd it. "In my opinion, only one-third of the Northern debt should be estimated against the bankrupt. It does not appear but that the other parties are good for their share. On the con- trary, outside the record, I learn from the best authority that the crediter expeots to make the debt good from the other two. "It is considered by the register that all the questions — one to eight — in the former portion of this eertifled summary are covered by the three above, as I do not consider that the question under three of the first numbers arose in the case, and I do not understand that it is insisted on.

These assenting creditors, when BufËcient in number and amount, by their assent extirpate ail the non-assenting debts. Where do they get the power to do this? Clearly, fromi the statute. The truth is, they are functionaries — quasi ministerial, quasi judicial, it may be — charged in part with the administration of the law, and, as such, the depositaries of certain powers, among which is that of determining when the bankrupt shall be discharged and when not. Hilliard on Bankruptcy, (2d Ed.) 239, 241. The law discharges the debts, the law performs the operation of releasing them, the creditors being merely donees of a power to determine the cases in which the law shall so operate. The legislature has left it to the discretion of the creditors whether they will or not assent to the discharge^ and this dis- cretion is absolute. Lord Eldon observes that the law bas left the bankrupt entirely to the caprice of his creditors to sign the certificate or not, under a high moral obligation, per- haps, but no legal obligation to do it, however great his atonement. And he says "there can be no stronger proof of the good nature and humanity of the British character than the readiness with which creditors sign." Ex parte Joseph, 18 Ves. 340; Ex parte King,ll Ves. 417; Ex parte Gardner, 1 Ves. & B. 45 ; Ex parte Cridland, 3 Ves. & B. 95, 103 ; Hilliard on Bankruptcy, (2d Ed.) 315, 316. The statute does not name a surviving partner as one of the donees of this power, but from necessity, and by all the analogies of the law, it is faily inferable that it was intended he should be the donee, rather than innumerable and remote bene- ficiaries of the quasi trust he executes. The release is not without consideration, for the bankrupt law enlarges the remedies of the creditors, and gives them inquisitorial and other powers they would not otherwise enjoy. It also gives ample protection against fraudulent bankruptcies by with- holding a discharge in all cases of misconduct by those who ask its relief.

I do not think that the accidentai fact that the second and third meeting of creditors was held, under general order No. 25, on the same day appointed for the creditors to appear and show cause against the discharge, can influence the ques- tion submitted by the register. These meetings were held only for the purposes prescribed in sections 6092 and 5093 of the Eevised Statutes, but for convenience were assigned for the same day as that appointed under section 5109 for the creditors to show cause against the discharge. Section 33 of the original act of 1867, (Eev. St. 5112,) as amended by the act of July 27, 1868, (15 Stat. 228,) required the assent of creditors to be filed in the case at or before the time of the hear- ing of the application for discharge ; and, as it required the as- sent only of the creditors "who shall bave proved their claims," it is manifest that under that section no other creditors could be counted in determining whether the requisite assent had been given, exeept those who had at or before that time proved their claims. Re Borst, 11 N. B. R. 96. And although sec- tion 9 of the act of June 22, 1874, (18 Stat. 180,) does notpre- scribe the time withinwhich the assent must be given with the same particularity, it bas been ruled that there bas been no change of the original act in that respect. Re Derby, 12 N. B. R. 241. A-gain, by general order 24, a creditor opposing the dis- charge for cause under sections 5110 and 5111 must appear and enter bis opposition on the day when the creditors are required to show cause. This day, then, seems to be the time fixed for the termination of the right of the creditors to make whatever opposition they have to offer. The act can have no otheir meaning. It is for this purpose the creditors are notified, and it bas been held, after careful consideration of the cases, that creditors who bave been duly notified and made nn opposition, nre' to be reç^ardel as conseutitig to a diKchiimo. /,V A nfiy,!.!, ! >l N.

Not only were the preferences fraudulent, but it was his duty to protect his assets against such In Bankruptcy, The bankrupt, being a small retail groeery and liquor mar- chant, kept no books except a small pocket memorandum- book, in which each day he entered his cash received and cash paid ont, which was lost and never produced ; a blotter, in which daily sales on credit were entered ; and a kind of ledger, in which accounts for goods sold on credit were kept against the purchasers. These were imperfectly and negligently kept, and his discharge was opposed for not keeping proper books of account. He kept his invoices on file, and it was contended in his behalf that, from that and the books he kept, proper accounts could be made up and his financial condition ascer- tained. One of the bankrupt's creditors having obtained judgment against him, issued execution and levied on his goods, the sheriff leaving them with the bankrupt. His creditors came, and without objection helped themselves to the goods, taking them away on drays and wagons. These facta were speci- fied in opposition to his discharge.

Whether they-wëre distributed by the state, or retained until after the proper certificate was entered in the clerk's office of the district court, dbes not appear. It is argued that the delivery to the state constituted per se a publication within the meaning of the statute; and, as the certificate was filed after the delivery to the state, there was no eopyright to the volume for that reason. These were copies for the use of the state, and subjeet to distribution under the provisions of law. Sections 23, 24, c 29, Eet, St. 1845. Can we assume, in the absence of any evidence upon the subjeet, that a distri- butioii was made? Mere printing of a book is not necessarily publication, and I am inclined to think it was incumbent upon the defendants to show something more than a mere delivery of the copi 3S to the state. The title-page of volume 34, together with the printed vol- ume itself, seems to have been filed in the clerk's office of the district court on the twenty-third of October, 1866, and it is claimed that this does not show that a proper certificate was filed in the clerk's office, as required by the statute, before publication. It will be observed that the statute does not specify how long before publication the certificate should be filed. Here both acts seem to have occurred on the same day, and the presumption, I think, is, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, that the filing of the certificate of title preceded the deposit of the volume in the clerk's office. The title-page of volume 35 was deposited with the clerk of the district court in January, 1867, and the note printed in the volume states that it was "entered àccording to act of congress in the year 1866." There is no doubt this is a mis- take in the imprint of the entry, as it should have been 1867, instead of 1866. The statute does not require that the note of entry ehould indicate the day or the month, but only the year; and if it be true that this mistake is fatal, then, of course, as to that volume the copyright is lost. But I do not feel inclined to give so rigid a construction to the statute. The case of Baker v.

Kehr v. Smith, 20 Wall. 36, and statute 13 Elizabeth, c. 5, dis- tinguished. Benton de Benton, for assignee. C. Eginton, for Mrs. Hollister. Baeh, D. J. This is a suit brought by the assignee in l)ankruptcy of Hadson Hollister to set aside two conveyances made to his wife, Mary H. Hollister, in January, 1874. The faets proven in the record are briefly these : Mary McConnell married Hudson Hollister on the tenth of June, 1850. Her father was then dead, and she had inher- ited one-fifth of his estate, consisting of land, negroes, and sorne money, estimated to be worth $50,000. There was no antenuptial agreement; but it is clearly proven that Hudson Hollister, before he received any part of his wife's estate, promised her that if she would allow him to «ollect and use her money he would invest an equal amount in real estate for her use and benefit, and place the title in her name. This promise was frequently repeated and recog- nized by the bankrupt until the conveyances were made in 1874. Hudson Hollister received of his wife's guardiah! $3,202.08, and from the executor of her father's estate some more money, but the amount is not proveu. Mrs. Hollister was allotted, in the division of her father's estate, six negroes, and had an interest in the homestead of her father and some lands in Carter, county. Two of the negroes were sold, and the proceeds collected by Hollister and used by him under the promise which he had made his wife. They brought $1,100, of which Bum $500 was collected probably in 1852 or 1853, and $600 in 1855 or 1856. Her interest in the homestead was sold in 1852 or 1853 for $1,000, and was ptobably collected and used by her husband under the promi^ Jse mentioned.

The bank waa ruade a party, and in a cross-bill insista that these conveyanees were voluntary, and are fraudaient and void as to its debt, and insists that it should be paid its entire debt out of the proceeds of the property, -^^hen sub- jected and sold. Mrs. Hollister and her husband have answered the bill and cross-bill, They deny that the bank debt was a subsisting one when the conveyanees were made, January, 1874, and insist that Hollister was in fact the surety of Leathers in the original debt, and that it was paid at its maturity by Leath- ers, with the proceeds in part of another note discounted for the same amount. They insist that the execution of the last note was the creation of a new debt, and not the continuance of an old one. They deny that the conveyanees were volun- tary and without consideration, and allege they were exe- cuted for a valuable consideration. This consideration is alleged to be the estate whioh the bankrupt received from his wife, and the promise made before he received it to invest an equal amount for her benefit in real estate, placing the title in her. They allege in an amended answer that there was an antenuptial agreement, but as there is no proof of this, it may be dismissed from the case. There are four questions arising, and which have been argued by counsel : First, hàs a court of equity jurisdiction ? Second, is the debt proven by the Covington National Bank the same debt existing at the time of the conveyanees ? Tkird, if so, were they made for a valuable consideration, or were they merely voluntary? Fov/rth, if these conveyanees, or either of them, are voluntary, and hence fraudulent and void, shall the proceeds of a sale be divided pro rata between all of the bankrupt's debts, or shall the bank's debt have prefer- ence ? We shall consider these questions in their order. Mrs. Hollister bas the legal title, and the suit is to set aside the conveyanees to her because they are fraudulent and void. The remedy at law is not, we think, adequate or plain.

Witbin the rulings made by Judge Blodgett and Judge Shipman, on the plaintiff's patent, I am of opinion that the frame purchased by Eoberts from the defendant infringes claims 1 and 3 of the plaintiff's pat- ent. It has, substantially, the inclined end rail of the patent, made in two parts, for the purpose of clamping the fabric and holding it suspended by means of the inclination between the points of attachment. In it the end rails are raised above the side rails and held in place by' corner irons, or standards, which perfôrm the same fanction as the plain- tift's standard. There are nO' inclined recesses in its stand- ards, to hold the ends of the end rails in an inclined position, but the end rails are evid«ntly purposely inclined, and held 80 by a acrew boit passing through a part of the standard and into the lower end rail. So, too, the end rail is double. The ends of the fabric are bent over the upper edge of the lower end rail, and the bolts, or nails, or screws, "which go through the upper end rail and through the fabric and into the lower end rail, aid in holding the fabric to the frame. The side rails, standards, and end rails on such frame are the manifest equivalent of those in the plaintiff's patent.

The ancient laws of Oleron, Wisby, and the Hanse towns contained no provision on this subject, nor is any alteration of the nile of the oivil law noted by Eoccus; but Vinnius, an earlier author, states that by the law of Holland the owners were not chargeable beyond the value of the ship and the things that are in it. The Hanseatic ordinance of 1614 had already pronounced the goods of the owner discharged from daims for damage by the sale of the ship to pay them ; and in conformity therewith the French ordinance of 1681 de- clared "that the owners of ships shall be answerable for the acts of the master, but shall be discharged therefrom upon relinquishing their ship and the freight." A similar provis- ion in the ordinance of Eotterdam, made in 1721, declares "that the owners shall not be answerable for any act of the master done withçut their order, any further than their part of the ship amounts to;" and by other articles of the same ordinance it appears that each part owner is liable only for the value of his own share. Valen, in his Commentaries on the French Ordinance, informs us that the same regulations were also established at Hamburg. The earliest provision of the British legislature on this sub- ject is a statuts passed a fewyears after the dateof the ordi- nance of Eotterdam, in consequence of a petition presented to the house of commons by several merchants and other per- sons, owners of ships belonging to the port of London, setting forth the alarm of the petitioners at the event of a late action, in which it was determined that the owners were answerable for the value of the merchandise embezzled by the master. A ruling of Lord Mansiield, 50 years later, that the own- ers of a vessel, which had been forcibly robbed of a large an}ount of specie in the Thames, were liable for the loss, though one of the mariners w^s accessory to the robbery, suf&ced to alarm the ship-owners of London, and upon another petition to the house of commons a second atatute was passed, extending protection to owners in case of robbery without the privity of the master or mariners, The protec- tion thus acoorded to them was greatly enlarged af terwards by the 63 Geo.

Whether the owners of such barges would not be entitled to the benefit of the limited liability act, is an open question. Undoubtedly they are within the letter of the exception, but as they are a class of vessels which was unknown at the time the act was passed, it would seem they are not within its spirit. I see no reason in principle why they are not as much within the act as the propellers which fumish them their motive power. It is possible, however, that the use of the word "barges," in the Eevised Statutea of 1873, may indicate an intention on the part of congress to extend the exemption to this class of vessels. Third. "Lighters" — a well-known class of vessels, used in assisting to load and unload other vessels. Fourth. "Vessels, of whatever description, used in rivers or inland navigation." Under this exemption it was held by Judge Drummond, in The War Eagle, 6 Biss. 264, that ves- sels used in navigating the waters of the upper Mississippi were not within the limited liability act, though engaged in interstate commerce. Now it seems to me clear, from the above exceptions, that congress did not intend the act should apply to vessels en- gaged in purely local trade, and a fortiori to a vessel not built for the purpose of trade, but of pleasure ; not run upon any regular route, not engaged in the business of carrying freight or passengers. I do not undertake to say that pleasure yachts, making long voyages upon the lakes or ocean, may not be within the act, but I think pleasure boats, whether propelled by steam or sail, engaged in purely local naviga- tion, running in and out of the same port, though sometimes carrying passengers for hire, f ail within the exception. I have not overlooked the case of The Daniel Bail, 10 Wall. 557, or The Ventura, just decided, but for reasons already given they have no application.

Could this court take upon itself to decide upon the amount of these contingencies, and to decree the payment Of the same, in addition to the pay- ment of the f ull value of the ship ? I am clearly of the opinion that it could not. The true rule of law in such a case would, I conceive, be this, namely : to calculate the value of the prop- erty destroyed at the time of the loss, and to pay it to the owners as a fuU indemnite to them for ail that may have happened, without entering for a moment into any other con- sideration. If the principle to the contrary, contended for by the owners of the smaok in this case, were once admitted, I see no limit, in its application, to the difficulties which would be enforced upon the court. It would extend to almost end- less ramifications, and in every case I might be called upon to determine, not only the value of the ship, but the profits to be derived on the voyage in which she might be engaged, and, indeed, even to those of the return voyage, which might be said to have been defeated by the collision." In this case the court only allowed the value of the ship, and denied the claim of the master for the wàges or average profits he would have earned from time of collision, 1 Parsons on Ship. & Adm. 540, 541, note. Notwithstanding this positive lan- guage of one of the most learned among the judges of the high court of admiralty, it is found that, in some instances, that court has not conformed to these views. In the Betsey Carnes, 2 Hagg. 28, a smack was run down through negligence, while engaged in rendering salvage serv- ice to another vessel, and Lord Stowell allowed, in addition to the value of the smack, damages for the loss of the ex- pected salvage reward. See, also, The Yorkshireman, 2 Hagg. 30, note. In 1860, The Canada, Lushington, 584, was decided. That vessel was carrying cargo from Cadiz to St. Johns, under a charter to carry timber from Quebec to England. She was totally lost by a collision on the voyage to St. Johns.

The defendants who are representatives of Joseph Clark, deceased, have demurred to the bill because the Vermont & Canada Eailroad Company, as prior lienholder upon the funds, and the subsequent lienholdeTs are net made parties. The other defendants have pleaded the pendency of proceedings in a court of ohancery of the state to the jurisdiction of this court. The orators have set the plea down for argument, and the cause has been heard upon the demurrer and plea. The proceedings in the court of chancery vrere brought to enforce the lien for rent, and resulted in the appointment of these trustees of the first mortgage, while so in possession, receivers to raise funds to pay o£E the rent before applying the income to these mortgage bonds. Afterwards an agree- ment was made between the parties changing the basîs of the rent, and providing for certain things to be done and specifie payments to be made, and that then the trustees should pay, first, the rent ; second, the first mortgage bonds ; third, the second mortgage bonds, and then the mortgagor; and that there should be a decree in the cauee to be binding on all parties in interest in both roads. A decree was made ac- cordingly, founded on this consent, but which went further than the agreement, and provided also for a settlement of the accounts of the trustees and receivers by a committee of bondholders, and (on objection) by the court, and that the cause should be retained in court, with liberty to the parties to apply to the court for further orders therein as they might be advised. It was while the trustees were in possession under this arrangement that the trustees received the money sought by the orators.

Company would have been of little or no value ; that the loan was effected for the purpose of giving value to the bonds and to the mortgages in suit ; that the bondholders, by meana of said loan, gave to the securities held by them their prin- cipal if not their entire value; and that by reason of the promises the petitioner bas a lien superior to the rights and equities of the bondholders, and that his claim to be re-im- bursed the amount advanced in taking up the note is a prior lien upon the raiiroad and other property of the railway Com- pany. It is further alleged that the trustee in the mortgages fore- closed in this action, and all the bondholders and stockhold- ers of the railway company, had knowledge of the facts set forth in the petition as they occurred, and especially of the fàcts and ciroumstances relative to the loan and the payment thereof by petitioner for the company, and that all of said transactions took place with their fuU knowledge and consent. There is also a general allegation that the present action to foreclose the first and second mortgages upon the road ia a collusive one, and is prosecuted in fact for the benefit and under the management of those bondholders who hold and (Control a majority of the stock of the company, and for the pùrpose of avoiding payment of petitioner's claim. The prayer of the petition is that an order may be entered establishing and allowing, as against the bondholders, the alleged right and claim of the petitioner to the sum of $293,- 038.11, with interest, and direeting the receiver to pay the same oat of the earnings of the road, or, if such earnings shall not be sufficient for that purpose, then that petitioner's demand may be paid out of the proceeds of the sale of the mortgaged property before payment of any part of such pro- ceeds to the holders of bonds. The main points of the argument advanced in support of the petition are that the moneys borrowed from the iron and coal company were used by the railway company to complete its unflnished road; that the loan was effected and the expenditure made at the request and under the direction of the bondholders, and that the new construction thereby accomplished gave<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> qrrwlg0xnuk2xt293lsbl7amys0pvhi Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/874 104 646558 15135286 14644314 2025-06-14T22:30:47Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, EDEBAL → EDERAL , EEPO → REPO, TEB. → TER., REPOETER → REPORTER, removed: � (7) 15135286 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>863 FEDERAL REPORTER. first, after repealing the city's charter and declaring that the population within the territorial limita thereof should be "resolved back into the body of the state," enacts that "ail power of taxation, in any form whatever, heretofore vesfcedin or exercised by the authorities of said (repealed)'municipal- ity * * * is forever withdrawn and reserved to the leg- islature." And in harmony with this declaration, the act creating the taxing district provided that "the necessary taxes for the support of the government therein established (the taxing district) shall be imposed directly by the general as- sembly of the state of Tennessee, and not otherwise. " And, as a further means of putting the taxing district beyond the power of the courts, said act deelared "that all the officers and agents employed in the administration of said local govern- ment shall be the officers and agents of the state, so far aa all their officiai acts, touching said government, are con- cerned." And said act further provides "that the fire-enginea, hose and carriages, horses and wagons, engine-houses, public build- ings, public squares, parks, promenades, wharves, streets, alleys, engineer instruments, and all other property, real and Personal, hitherto used by said government for the purposes of government," should be transferred to the board of com- missioners of the taxing district, to remain, as heretofore, public property for the public use, and that all indebtednesa for taxes or otherwise, due to said extinct municipality, should "vest in and become the property of the state, to be disposed of for the settlement of the debts of said municipal- ity, " as should be thereafter provided by law. These enactments neoessitated an amended and supple- mental bill, which was accordingly filed. Other creditors of the city filed similar bills, seeking the same relief, which were, on motion and by consent of the parties, consolidated, and ordered to be heard together with the suit of Garrett & Sons. After being thus consolidated, the application for the appointment of a receiver came on, to be heard on the twelfth of February, 1 .179, when the aforesaid acts were urged in argument as a fuU and sufficient defence to said motion.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 3s8q7w2i0i9en9s09p21wjian1usugs Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/890 104 646574 15135287 14751757 2025-06-14T22:30:48Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBTER → PORTER 15135287 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>678 FEDERAL BKPORTER. on bonds. But as said taxes were ail levîedfor the purpose of paying current expenses and debts, and as the expenses of the city governraeut have been liquidated, it may, I think, be assumed that the taxes remaining unpaid were levied for cred- itors. They were se levied under the power of local taxation conferred by its charter on said city, which power of taxation was a eontract, and the inducement for the credit given by complainants to the city, and by reason of the premises vested equitably in the creditors. If this is true, it seems to me that the well-considered adjudications of the supreme court, here- inbefore quoted, are conclusive in favor of the view I bave taken. The authority of a court of cbancery to collect through its reoeiyer, and administer the fund for the benefit of the cestuis que trust, bas been demonstrated by Mr. Jus- tice Strong in the liberal extract which I bave quoted from bis opinion. But, as a last resort in argument, it is said that it is not intended todeprive the creditors of this fund; that the legis- lature bas simply provided for its collection and distribution among creditors, which it is insisted it had the right to do. It is difficult to treat the argument with any degree of gravity. The future will disçlose that the remedy thus provided is but a mockery of justice. If the legislature has the constutional right to "alter, post- pone, or release" these unpaid taxes at pleasure, it possesses the power to make any disposition of them it ehooses. A bill has been already introduced into the present legislature to divert a portion of the fund from the purposes to which it was dedicated, by the repealing and subsequent acts ; and if the prinoiple contended for is conceded,it is not hazarding much to say that the creditors will not be greatly benefited by the remedy thus provided for them. But before this legislative remedy was provided, a day before the repealing act was passed, this court, upon a bill regularly filed, iii behalf of Garrett & Sons, in exact compliance with the statutory rem- edythen avithori;2ed, took eognizance of their complaint, which impounded the fund.

Section 4 of the act of twelfth of April, 1858, (Swan & Clitchfield, 1155,) in force when these proceedings were had, provides : "In all causes pending in the court of conimon pleas, or either of the superior courts of this state, either party shall have the right to excepfc to the opinion of the court on a mo- tion to direct a nonsuit to arrestthe testimony from the jury; and all cases of motion for a new trial, by reason of any sup- posed misdirection of the court to the jury, or by reason that the verdict, or, in case the jury be waived, that the finding of the court, may be supposed to be against law and evi- dence, 80 that said case may be removed by petition in error." It was held by the supreme court (Spangler v. Brown, 26 Ohio St. 389) that underthis statute it was neces- sary that a motion for a new trial should have been made and overruled, and exceptions taken thereto, before they could be asked to reverse the judgment on the ground that the court erred in its finding upon the question of actual fraud. This statute seems to be unambiguous in its terms, and it had been in existence for four years; and the knowl- edge of its provisions should ordinarily and reasonably have been possessed by one who undertook to conduct legal pro- ceedings of that character ; and the ignorance of or failure to apply snch knowledge by the defendant was negligence. This brings us to the consideration of the more important question growing ont of the peculiar facts of this case : Did damage resuit to the plaintifiE from this omission— this negli- gence upon the part of the defendant ? It must be conceded that if the plaintiff suffered no loss or damage by this act he would have no right of recovery. Loss and damage to him is the foundation upon which his action rests; without this the action must fail. Do the averments of this petition, when taken altogether, show damage re- sulted to the plaintiff from this negligence ?

In Suydam v. Vance, 2 McLean, 99, a case decided in this circuit in 1840, Mr. Justice McLean, in discussing the ques- tion of the liability of an attorney for negligence in not tak- ing the proper steps to coUect a note from the maker, says : "It must be shown, therefore, not only that the attorney was grossly negligent in proceeding against the maker of the note, but that the amount might have been collected from him had the proper steps been taken." That there must be a legal prejudice to the client is clearly shown in Harter v. Morris, 18 Ohio St. 492. In that case the petition showed that Harter, the plaintiff, was sued jointly with four others as joint makers of a promissory note; that a verdict was ren- dered against them all, and that he alone took a second trial, and gave bond, but that, by negligence of the attorney, the journal entry showed that a second trial had been taken by all the defendants, and by like negligence the bond was exe- cuted for the payment of any judgment whioh might be ren- dered against them; that on the second trial a verdict and judg- ment were rendered in favor of the defendant Harter, and against the other defendants, and that Harter was compelled, by suit on the bond, to pay the judgment against the other defendants, because they were insolvent. Upon demurrer to the petition, the court below sustained the demurrer, and ren- dered final judgment for the defendant. Upon error, the supreme court held that the legal effect of the undertaking was to render Harter liable only for such judgment as might be rendered against him, and that there was no negligence on the part of the defendant to the legal prejudice of the plaintiff, and affirmed the judgment of the court below.

Blairdeîl, Id. Sll ; Butterjield v. Clemence, 10 Cush. 269; Crawfor V. Newell, 23 Iowa, 453. The wagons and sait in question were capable of manual delivery. They were the property of the defendant in the writs, on; his premises, and in his possession. The deputy sheriff did nothing whatever to divest or change this posses- sion, or prevent the attachment of the property by any other officer. In the first instance the levy made by the marshal was ûo beiter than that made by the deputy sheriff, but after- wards, and'before the deputy sheriff had taken or attempted to take the aotual oustody of the property, the marshal per- feoted his levy by taking actiial possession, and now bas the property in his custody. It is needless to inquire whether the writ from this or the magistrate's court was first issued. The rule is well settled that ih case of such writs issuing from a federal and state court agaiust the same defendant, the writ under which the property is first actually taken into custody bas priority, without regard to the date of the respect- ive writs. The usual stattitory provision that an execution or writ of attachment shall be a lien upon or bind the prop- erty of the defendant in the writ from the time it comes to the hands of the officer, bas no operation in such cases. In the case at bar neither the marshal nor the deputy sheriff had the least priority of right.until one had acquired it by a prior valid levy. The possession under such a levy is notice of the attachment, and prevents a second attachment, and ail conflict of jurisdiction. Nor can the marshal of this court and a sheriff make a joint oï partnership levy on the same property, nor can one of these officers make a levy sub- ject to the prior levy of the other. They açt under author- ity of different governments, and each must make his return and account to the court of which he is an officer. Any effort to mingle their powers and authority would lead to confusion, and tend to bring about conflicts between thô courts of the two governments and their officers. To avoid these reaults the rule is inflexible that property cannot be the subject of levy under writs issuing from a federal and state court at the same time.

The affaira of society cannot be carried on upon any other principle. * * * It will be observed that the cases do not go upon the ground that the claim by an individual to be a publie officer, and his acting as such, is merely prima fade evidence that he is an ofScer de jure, but the principle they establish is this : that an individual coming into office by color of an election or appointment is an officer de facto, and his acts in relation to the public or third persons are valid until he is removed, although it be conceded that his election or appointment was illegal. His title shall not be inquired into. The mere claim tô be a public officer, and the performance of a single or even a number of acts in that oharacter, would not perhaps con- stitute an individual an officer de facto. There must be some color of an election or appointment, or an exercise of the office, and an acquiescence on the part of the public for a length of time, which would afford a strong presumption of atleast a colorable election or appointment."

White, 24 Wend. 539, Mr. Ghancellor Wal- •worth said : "An officer de facto is onë who cornes into a legal and constitutional office by color of a legal appointment or election to that office; and, as the duties of the office must be disoharged by some one for the benefit of the public, the law does not require third persons, at their peril, to ascer- tàin whether such officer bas been properly elected or ap- pointed before they submit themselves to his, authority, or call upon him to perform officiai acts which it is necessary should be performed. Thus, for instance, the constitution requires that the justices of the supreme court shall be appointed by the governor, with the advice and consent of the senate; but if, either intentionally or from inadvertence, the governor ehould appoint and commission an individual as one of the justices of that court without having previously nominated him to the senate and obtained the consent of that body, and the person thus appointed should take upon himself the duties of that office, he would be a judge of the supreme<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 9gl5yq72vaed9il1pjrw64w0z0ncoht Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/930 104 646616 15135294 14627667 2025-06-14T22:30:55Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTEB → PORTER, BBPORT → REPORT, BAL RE → RAL RE, EDBRA → EDERA, PEDE → FEDE, removed: � (6) 15135294 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>918 FEDERAL REPORTER. side or the other as to suoh values. If there bas been any element of uiïfaimess in the sale, such as fraud or collusion, or partiality on the part of the creditors or the assignee, or any misfortune or accident, such as epidemies, floods, or the like, or unnecessary and prolonged delay, whereby the property bas either depreciated in value or been sacriliced at the sale, the fault and loss should fall on the creditors and not the bankrupt. He should not be prejudiced by their mis- management, or their machinations to defeat his discharge by lessening bis assets. But in ail such cases the extraordinary circumstances must appear, and the reason why the sale or collections of the assignee bave fallen short of real values must be stated and proved, so that the court can see that the property bas brought so much less than under a fair and auspicious sale it would have done, that the difference is sub- stantial and controlling on the question of discharge. Mere opinions of witnesses will not do, and cannot prevail over the demonstration of a fair and unobjectionable sale. And the bankrupt must present the facts in his petition for dis- charge, or otherwise in some plenary method, so that issues can be tendered and tried as to the conduct of thô sale and the fact of difference in values. On the record as it stands I cannot discharge the bank- rupt; but I shall not now refuse his petition, and will again refer it to the register to appoint another day, and see if his creditors will assënt. Their opposition for cause bas been overruled, and I do not see that they are especially objecting- because of a deficienoy Of assets, but they bave not assented, and the record does not show a compliance with the condi- tions of thestatute. The deficiency amounts only to about $15. This bankrupt has had considerable exemptions allowed, and if he will, out of these or otherwise, increase his assets to- the required amount, I shall disobarge him without the assent of his creditors. But I wish it distinctly understood that this case on that point is not "to be drawn into a precedent," for I thiûkit a vicious practioe-to allow the bankrupt to increase hiô: assets for the purposes of a discharge, and very nearly akin to the process of allowing him to purchase a discharge<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> a1hsap1v6h9bzvz8h169c6ayxjio2uy Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 5.djvu/934 104 646621 15135295 8174241 2025-06-14T22:30:56Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBTER → PORTER, removed: � (9) 15135295 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>922 FEDERAL RBPORTER. intended to extibit to the eye, in the different stages of fold- ing, a vrapper or paper box made from a single piece of pasteboard, and showing the patentee's method of locking the ends of the box, so as to distinguish his device from any in which "the tongue is inserted and withdrawn in the line of the opening strain, or in which the tongue projeots longi- tudinally from its flap, or is folded around the box in the same direction as the flap that it is intended to secure." The second claim of the re-issue — the one alleged to be m- fringed— seems to be for the exact deviees, or combination of devices, described in the original patent. This is so evident that the defendant's expert, Mr. Hicks, when asked by the connsel of the defendant to state what changes, if any, had been made in the re-issue, frankly replied, (defendant's re- cord, 220) : "I have made the examination and comparison required by the question, and I find, in my opinion, no sub- stantial change in the subject-matter of the re-issue from the subject-matter of the original patent." When a skillful expert, alive to the intereats of his em- ployer, makes such an ans-vrer, it may be saf ely assumed that the re-is9ue is for the same invention as the original patent. 2. As to the construction of Jhe second claim of the com- plainant's patent. It is insisted with mueh force, by the counsel for the defendant, that if it be as broadly construed, as the complainant contends for, it is void for want of nov- elty. The drawings and specifications, both in the original and the re-issue, exhibit the locking of the box by means of the shoulders of the tongues or corners as the distinguishing feature of the invention. If this claim be regarded as sim- ply introducing the tongues as corners, without preserving the locking quality referred to, it does not produce the resuit mbstantially as described, and is such a departure from the original invention as to render the re-issue invalid, being for a different invention. The evidence shows that there is noth- ing new in any of the instrumentalities used by the patentee, Heyl, except the interlooking the two outer flaps of the ends of the box in the manner set forth.

It was also contended that the claim- ants were entitled to eight days in whioh to remove the property, by the usage of the port, but the testimony fails to prove the existence of such a usage. Eeliance was also placed upon the statutes of the United States (Eev. St. § 2880) as giving the claimants eight days within which to remove this cargo. But the statute has no relation •whatever to the duty devolving upon the buyer of this property under the circumstances stated. A!U that the testimony shows is an understanding between the claimants and the master that, so far as relates to the time of the removal of the property, the vessel should be. considered as having just arrived and entered at the cuatom-house. Upon such facts, the only obligation on the part of the buyers of the phosphates was to perform their implied promise to remove the property froni the vessel within a reasonable time, and the right of the libellant to demurrage depends upon the ques- tion whether the property in question was reinoved within a reason- able time from the thirteenth of September, that being the day on ■which the marshal delivered the property to the claimants. No detention of the vesselprior to that day can be imptited tO the claim- ants, for prior to that day they had no right to remove the property. Upon the question of what was a reasonable time within which to remove this property, I am of the opinion that with reascnable cx- «^rtion all could have been discharged by the 16th; This ieaves four days to be paid for. Thirty dollars a day is reasonable demurrage, and the amount of the demurrage is therefore $120. The next question is whether a maritime lien attached to this mer- chandise for the amount of the, demurrage in question. Here the peculiarity of the case is that the acts complained of which giye rise to the claim for demurrage are not the acts of a shipper or of a con- signee of the merchandise. the claimants ' were no parties to the contract of affreightment under which the property had been trans- ported, — if such a contract there was, — but simply purchasers of the property as it lay in the vessel. Moreover, they purchased from the marshal, and must be held to have received the merchandise from the marshal free and clear of any existing encumbrance or charge. The question presented by this state of facts appears, therefore, at first sight, to be different from the question that arises when the aets complained of are those of a shipper of property, or a consignee of property, under the ordinary contract of affreightment. And yet, in principle, there is no difference ; for demurrage is only a reward to the vessel in compensation of the earnings she ia improperly<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ccvmz2f1y13sqk5o35wfn4am2brgcup Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/5 104 697177 15135351 8174688 2025-06-14T22:31:51Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EEPORT → REPORT, j' → y , OASES REP → CASES REP, lowa → Iowa, removed: � (117) 15135351 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>CASES REPORTED.

This adoption of the new firm as the debtors, coupled with the omission during the life-time of the retired partner to indicate, by word or deed, the existence of a liability on his part for the debt in question, and coupled with the lapse of time that occurred before the liability of the retired partner's estate was asserted, appears to me to be sufficient, according to the requirements of the cases already cited, to justify the inference that the new firm was adopted as debtor with the intention that the liability of the firm was to stand in place of the liability of the old. In some of the adjudged cases less proof than is here pre- sented has been considered suflicient to warrant a similar inference. In Hart v. Alexander, 2 Mee. & WelL 489, Follett, argueudo, says : "If the crediter, by some positive act, adopts a new firm as his debtor, the retired partner is discharged." And Lord Abinger, in giving judgment, states as the resuit of the cases, that "if a new partner comes in, and an account is accepted in which the new partner is made liable for the balance, that discbarges the old firm, as botb cannot be held liable at once for the same debt. " In.Zw re Medical Invalid e General Life Assurance So- ciety, {Spencer's Case,) 24 L. T. E. 455, the circumstance that the new company and the customer had treated each other as insurer and insured, was held to be "complete evidence of novation." In In re Smith; Knight e Ca., already cited, the case was made by the master of the roUs to turn upon. the question whether the company had been adopted as debtor. He says : "I am of the'opinion there was an adoption of the company as the debtor, and that it cannot be treated otherwise. It is useless to go into cases, because it is admitted that very small things wiU do." The decision of the master of the roUs in that case was reversed by the court of appeal upon the ground that the circumstance from which the master of the rolls found that thore had been an adoption of the company as debtor was not sufficient to warrant that conclusion; but there was no dissent from the proposition of the master of<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> q4py947ctsuqwnqm3elcp5v6044o9or Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/32 104 697204 15135327 14560710 2025-06-14T22:31:27Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EBPO → REPO, POBT → PORT, REPORTEE → REPORTER, removed: � (8) 15135327 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>20 FEDERAL REPORTER. Button at all to acknowledge the mortgage, but they and their sons all testify that they executed the mortgage at their son's house, in Augusta, on Sunday, July 7th. Campbell does net remember the day; but they all agree that defendants and Campbell went to Eau Claire on Monday, the 8th, and con- summated the loan by delivering the papers to Ellis for the plaintiff, and getting the money. Ellia testifies that he also was acting as agent for the defendants in getting the loan for them. So far as the question of aeknowledgement is concemed the defendants admit the acknowledgement under oath in their answer, and are, therefore, estopped from denying it on the trial. But they allege it was done on Sunday. Besides, I think the testimony of Button and Schroeder should b'e taken as conclusive that the acknowledgement was made on Mon- day, and I so find. ■As to the time of the execution, as that rests wholly on the testimony of the defendants and their family, I think I must find that it was done on Sunday; and if that fact alone makes the mortgage void, then the plaintiff, who was in New Jersey, and entirely innocent of any knowledge of the fact of defendants breaking the Sunday law in Wisconsin, must suf- fer in their stead, while the defendants must be rewarded for their crime in the sum of $1,200 ready money. But I amnot ready to believe that such is the law. I think there is a general feeling among judges that the courts have gone quite far enough in holding con tracts void that have been entered into on Sunday. If the question were unadjudicated I would, for one, think it going far enough to hold that where the parties are mutually guilty, the court would not lend its aid to enforce a strictly executory contract entered into on Sunday ; but that when the contract is fully executed on one side, and the consideration passed, as in the borrowing of money or sale of and delivery of property, to require the defaulting party to restore the consideration and perform his agreement.

They suffered the statute to purge the tax. proceedings of all defects, to raise the tax deed above impeachment. Their objections may be all well founded, but they came out of tirae. What the respondents might have said they cannot now say. The statute bas left them like one estopped to spea^ the truth, because they did nbt speak it when they might.' That bas been the construction uni- formly given by this court to the statute of limitations in relation to tax deeds. It bas been uniformly held in a mul- titude of cases that, as against the grantee of a tax deed, the statute puts at rest all objections against the validity of a tax proceeding, whether resting on mere irregularity or going to the groundwork of the tax. The statute makes a deed valid on its face prima facie evidence, as soon as executed, of the regularity of all proceedings from the assessment of the land inclusive to the execution of the deed, and the effeot of aU the decisions is that, when the statute bas run in favor of the grantee, the deed becomes conclusive to the same extent. The terms of the statute bar any action to recover possession of land sold and conveyed by deed for non-payment of taxes, and the leamed counsel for the respondent contends that to bring a tax deed within the statute the validity of the tax and of the sale must be established. Such a construction would go far to make the statute a dead letter. The statute was designed to protect things de facto, not things de jure. When there bas been an actual attempt, however defective in detail, to carry out a proper exercise of the taxing power, the statute applies; and the trouble with the argument is that in such a case, saving the instances excepted by the statute itself after the statute bas run, the tax deed itself oonclu- Bively establisbes the validity of the tax and of the sale."

The trust was constituted by a deed dated the fifteenth day of December, 1873, which was made between certain parties of the first part, styled "the trustees," certain parties of the second part, called "the committee," and certain parties of the third part, called "the covenantees." The scheme contemplated subscriptions to raise a fund for the purpose of purchasing bonds of munioipalities within the United States. The bonds were to be purchased by "the committee" named in the deed, and placed in the possession of the banker of the trust by the trustees. Subscribers to the fund received certificates, payable to the bearer, which en- titled the holder to participate in the distribution of the profits and proceeds of the trust investments by a drawing in a mode set out in the deed, which, in some of its featurcs, closely resembled a lottery. The capital of the trust was fixed by the deed at £350,000. The committee of the trust pur- chased from Coler bonds, including those of Phillips county, valued at £217,550 12s. and lOd., for which he was paid in cash £135,000 12g. and lOd., and the remaining £82,555 was paid him in certificates of the trust, which two witnesses testify were, at the time, par or a little under. The trust was not a corporation or joint-stock company or partnership, but a trust formed by deed of settlement for the purpose of secur- ing investments. The trustees were the legal owners of the trust property, and the business of the trust was managed by them and "the committee" oreated by the deed for the bene- fit of the certifieate holders, who were Etrangers to each other, and who entered into no contract between themselves, nor with any trustee on behalf of each other, and were not, there- fore, partners. It is a question whether this trust was not obnoxious to the provisions of the English companies act, 1862, and illegal. According to the opinion of the master of the rolls in Syke» V.

Objection is also taken upon the ground that the offence is charged to have been committed "against the statuts in such case made and provided," and that there is no proof of any statuts in the province of , Ontario punishing the crime of forgery, It seems to have been formerly the law that where an pffenee was punishable at common law only, and yet the indictment averred it to have been done against the form of the statute, it should be quashed. Later authorities, how- ever, hold that this is mere surplusage, if the oSence be in fact a common-law crime. 1 Bishop on Criminal Proceed- ings, § 349. Whether a party could be extradited for a forgery under a special act of the province of Ontario, which was not a forgery at common law, it is unnecessary liere to determine. I have no doubt, however, that where the oSence committed is a forgery at common law, the foreign government has a right to take proceeJings for extradition. It may be safely asBumed that there is a provincial statute punishing the com- mon-law crime of forgery. If, however, the party were shown not to be guilty of a common-law forgery, it would be incum- bent upon the prosecution to show a statute covering the offence. 4. The complaint is made upon information and belief, and in this respect I think it is fatally defeetive. The statute requires a complaint upon oath, and I think it is not satisfied by a simple allegation that the complainant is informed and believes the petitioner to have committed the offence, or, in the language of this complaint, that upon the "best knowl- edge, information, and belief" of complainant, defendant is guilty. A person may swear that he has reason to believe, and does believe, that a person has committed a crime, al- though his reasons may amount to little more than mere sus- picion, without laying himself open to a charge of perjury. This, however, is not a complaint upon oath, within the meaning of the statute. The personal liberty of a citizen ought not to be interfered with upon an allegation so loosely framed. It is very singular that there are so few cases in which the requirements of a proper complaint upon oath are<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 3azsvrbt9rycgg82q6p7t4qlrqk6lw7 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/56 104 697228 15135361 8174752 2025-06-14T22:32:00Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, REPOB → REPOR, PORTB → PORTE, removed: � (9) 15135361 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>44 FEDERAL REPORTER. "Section 83, Every person who shall desire it shall be per- mitted to swear in the following f orm : ' You do swear in the presence of the ever-living God;' and, while so swearing, such person may or may not hold up his hand, in his dis- cretion." The notary correctiy stated one form of oath prescribed by the statute, and he testified without objection that the form he gave was the only legal form, This evidence, coupled with his testimony that he is careful to use that form, and his certificate that the affidavit was sworn to, must have sat- isfied the jury that on this occasion he used that form. No other conclusion is consistent with the finding that an oath was taken, The question whether an oath would have been taken if a different form had been employed was not raised by the objection to the admission of the affidavit in evidence, and is not presented by the record. If the court had been requested to instruct the jury that in order to convict they must find that the notary used the words, "in the presence of the ever- living God," and the request had been refused, such refusai would have raised the question that has been argued. But no such request was made. The case was allowed to go to the jury upon the evidence of the notary that there was but one legal form of administering an oath, and his testi- mony as to what, he did, His testimony was sufficient to warrant the jury m concluding that on the occasion in ques- tion he used the form descrlbed by him, and, the jury having 60 found, their finding should not be disturbed.

One ground of the motion is that error was committed: at' th'e trial in admitting secondary evi- dence of the contents of a letter sent to the accused, without proof of sufficient notice to produce the original. The case showB that the place of business of the accused was in Nassau street, near the place of trial. It was proved that notice to produce the original letter was served upon the defendant's attorney on the afternoon of the day before the trial, at 20 minutes before 5 o'clock. The original not being produced, secondary evidence of its contents was admitted. In this there was no error. "In town cases service of notice on the attorney on the evening before the trial is in general sufS- cient." 2 Kuss. on Crimes, 743. Another ground of the motion is that secondary evidence was permitted to be given of the address upon the envelope of the letter sent to the defendant, when the notice to produce did not specify the envelope. But the notice to produce de- SCribed the letter as enclosed in an envelope, and, we think, sufficiently indicated an intention to call for both the envel- ope and its enclosure. We also think that a notice to pro- duce a letter covers the envelope of the letter. It is further contended that the evidence was not sufficient to warrant the jury, in finding that the defendant deposited the lottery circular, because the eircular in question was sent in reply to a letter addressed to John Duflf & Co., and there was no direct evidence that the defendant mailed it. But it was proved that the,, defendant was accustomed to use the name of John Duff & ,C!o., and sold lottery tickets under that name. It was alao proved that the defendant personally received the lettei: which contained the order for the circul9.r ,in question,,and also money to pay for two lot- tery tickets. From these iacta it was competent for the jury to infer that the defendant, who received the order for the cirCular and the pay for the "tickets, was the person who re- mitted the circular and tickets, especially when it appeared that the circular and tickets were ^^daressed to a fictitious name, known, so far as appeara, only to the defendant and the sender of the order. f ; ' .<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ofrifacymdwn70vncihuqwnxbovc33h Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/62 104 697234 15135371 8174820 2025-06-14T22:32:10Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EEPO → REPO, POBTER → PORTER, removed: � (7) 15135371 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>50 FEDEEA.L REPORTER. While the marshal was removing his prisoner he was sur- roundecl by a crowd. A cane which he carried was seized hold of, and the escape of the prisoner was effected. The marshal, when deprived of his cane, drew from his pocket a pistol. The defendants, who were members of the municipal police, at once arrested him and removed him to a police station, where he was detained some four hours. Upon these faots the jury found the defendants guilty. They now apply for a new trial. The principal proposition argued in support of this application is that the court erred in not submitting to the jury the question whether the act of the marshal in draw- ing a pistol was not a breach of the peace. To this proposition one sufficient answer is that no request was made of the court to have such a question submitted to the jury. Another answer is that there was no- evidence suf- ficient to justify the jury in finding that the. act of the mar- shal in drawing his pistol was a breach of the peace. Still another answer is that, assuming the drawing of the pistol to have been a breach of the peace, nevertheless the arrest and removal of the marshal from the poUing place, under the eir- cumstances, was an offence against the laws of the United States. The statute under which the defendants were indicted makes it an offence for any person, whether with or without authority, power, or process from any state or municipality, to obstruot or hinder a deputy marshal in the performance of any duty required of him ■ by law. In this instance an of- fence against the laws of the United States, created by sec- tion 5511 of the Eevised S'tatutes, had apparently been eom- mitted by Shafer in the presence of Faser, the marshal. It thereupon became the duty of the marshal, by virtue of section 2022, to arrest anfl take into custody the offender. Accord- ingly the marshal did arrest the offender, and, while engaged in maintaining custody of his prisoner, he was arrested by the defendants and removed from the pplling place. Bythe acts of the defendants, in arresting and removing the mar- shal, it was rendered impossible for him to maintain custody of his prisoner, or to regain that custody if the prisoner ;had<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> pvun6gat9sfkeuwwgf0h7oeiseoha03 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/80 104 697252 15135398 8175004 2025-06-14T22:32:37Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBTER → PORTER, EBPO → REPO, removed: � (8) 15135398 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>68 FEDERAL REPORTER. ment." On the eleventh of May, 1880, the defendant sued ont a writ of error from the supreme court of the United States to reverse the said judgment convicting him of a con- tempt. The plaintiff moved in that court to dismiss said writ of error, and the supreme court dismissed it for want of jurisdiction on the twenty-ninth of November, 1880. The plaintiff now, on presenting to this court the mandate of the supreme court dismissing said writ, moves for an order that the said order of March 13, 1880, be carried into effect; and the defendant at the same time moves that the said order of Pebruary 17, 1880, and the said order of March 13, 1880, be declared inoperative and void, and of no efiect, or that the plaintiff be perpetually restrained and enjoined from any further action or proeeeding respecting the same. It is provided by section 725 of the Eevised Statutes that the courts of the United States shall have power to punish, "by fine or imprisonment, at the discretion of the court, con- tempts of their authority : provided, that such power to pun- ish contempts shall not be construed to extend to any cases except the misbehavior of any person in their presence, or so near thereto as to obstruct the administration of justice, the misbehavior of any of the officers of said courts in their officiai transactions, and the disobedience or resistance by any such officer, or by any party, juror, witness, or other per- son, to any lawful writ, process, order, rule, deoree, or com- mand of the said courts." It is contended for the defendant that to render effectuai a judgment or order convicting a party of contempt, founded on his disobedience to an order of the court, three things must concur: (1) The order must be founded upon some legal or equitable right vested in the party at whose instance it is issued; (2) the order must be lawful and duly author- ized at the time it issues; (3) the disobedience to it must be wilful. It is well settled that contempt of court is a specifie crim- inal offence, and that the imposition of a fine for a contempt is a judgment in a criminal case. New Orleans v.

The order dated March 19, 1880, but actually flled and entered March 25, 1880, made oa the defeudant's motion to dismiss the bill for the foregoing reasons, disposed of the foregoing questions. It was an order within the power of the court to make, in the exercise of its discretion, under rules 66 and 69. The court could rightfully direct the replication filed and the proofs talcen to stand, as if the proceedings had severally been had within the times prescribed, as fully as if the order of the court to that effect had been made before taking such proceedings. The record shows that as full opportunity was given afterwards to the defendant to enter objections on the record to the proofs previously taken, and to cross-examiue the witnesses before examined, as if bis counsel had been present when they were taken, and that he availed himself of such opportunity. The order, through some oversight, does net show on its face that aifidavits were presented on the part of the plaintiff as a foundation for denying the defendant's motion and for granting the plaintiff the relief granted. Such affidavits are on file among the papers in the cause, and it clearly appears that they were presented and acted on by the court. Like affidavits were presented on like motions made at the same time in the case against Neil and the case against O'Shaughnessey and Simp- son, and those affidavits are recited in the orders made at the same time, of the same tenor, in those two cases.

His antagonist, denying the right to do this, objected to the offer; and in consequence of this disagreement the arbitration was abandoned. Viewed in the light of the testi- mony referred to, the proper interpretation of the paper is that Captain Bougher admitted liability for the loss sustained, but not the entire liability. This view is consistent with all he did. At the outset he asserted, on the information of his captain, that the Ajace was in fault; and he subsequently offered to prove it, — to show, as I must suppose, the extent of his liability. Thia liability depended, — the extent of it, (whether for the whole or a part only,) — on the conduct of the Ajace. No other interpretation of the paper is consist- ent with the conduct of Captain Bougher. If he did not intend to admit liability, he would not have agreed to con- fine the arbitration to the subject of damages; and if he intended to admit liability for the entire amount, he would not have insisted, when making the admission, that the Ajace was in fault, and immediately after, when the agreement was being carried out, have insisted on showing such fault. The onlyrational conclusion is that he intended to admit his own fault, and to hold the Ajace liable for hers. A decree will accordingly be entered for the libellant for one-half the damages sustained.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> anspxr9ozo9n8tvw07jtyfukn56a7xq Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/110 104 697282 15135299 8174267 2025-06-14T22:31:00Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (6) 15135299 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>98 FEDERAL SEPORTER. must take place, if at ail, under the act of March 3, 1875, (18 U. S. St. at Large, 470.) The only question that will be considered is as to time. By section 3 of that act the peti- tion for removal must be filed in the state court "before or at the term at which said cause could be first tried, and before the trial, thereof." This provision applies to "any suit men- tioned in" section 2 of that act. Section 2 applies to "any suit of a civil nature, at law or in equity, now pending or hereafter brought in any state court." This suit was pend- ing in the state court when the act of March 3, 1875, was approved. The petition for removal in this case was filed in the state court on the thirty-first of December, 1880. Not only was the petition for removal not filed before or at the term 'at which the cause could be first tried after March 3, 1875, but it was. not filed before or at the term at which the cause was, in fact, first tried, nor was it filed before the trial of the cause. As applicaible to a case like the present, the words "the trial" must be read as if they were "the first trial." In view of prior removal aots the words "first trial" have a special meaning, and the words "the trial" refer to the trial involved in the preceding words "first trial." Under section 639 of the Eevised Statutes it was, as to cases under subdivisions 2 and 3 of that section, in sufficient time if the petition was filed "at any time before the trial or final bearing" of the suit. The act of July 27, 1866, (14 U. S. St. at Large, 306,) embodied in subdivision 2 of section 639, used the words "trial or final hearing." The act of March 2, 1867, (Id. 558,) embodied in subdivision 3 of sec- tion 639, used the words "final hearing or trial." These last words were altered in the Eevised Statutes to read "trial or final hearing." The words in the act of 1867 were passed upon by the supreme court in Ins. Co. v. Dunn, 19 Wall. 214, and it was held that the word "final" applied to "trial" as well as to "hearing," and that under that act a suit at law could be removed by a petition filed at any time before its final trial, — that is, at any time before a trial final in the cause as it stood when the application for removal was raade, — and therefore that it could be removed after a verdict on a trial<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> glmt53egvtwrfk68rxkznhh1in92dvj Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/114 104 697287 15135300 12760898 2025-06-14T22:31:01Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (8) 15135300 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>102 , FEDERAL REPORTER. given to secure the payment oi certain issues of bonds, amount- ing in the aggregate to ■ $5,800,000. On the third day of April, 1879, a decree of foreclosure and sale of the mortgaged property was entered. On the tenth day of January, 1881, and but a few days before the sale under the decree of fore- 3losure was advertised to talce place, Mary M. Kelly, a holder of bonds secured by one of the mortgages, filed a petition in eaid cause praying leave to file a bill of review for certain alleged errors and irregularitiea in the foreclosure proceed- ings; and the question has beau raised by demurrer to the petition, and argued and subnaitted, whether or not leave to file such a bill should be granted. The determination of peti- tioner's right to file a bill of review involves, therefore, a con- sideration of the contents of the petition in connection with such parts of the record in the foreclosure case as are brought into controversy by the allegations of the petition. As appears by the foreclosure decree, the original issue of bonds secured by the first mortgage was $3,200,000, and the issue of bonds secured by the second mortgage was $2,100,- 000. The petitioner alleges herself to be the holder of second mortgage bonds amounting to $le,320, besides interest. The decree adjudges that "of the said second mortgage bonds the sum of $850,260 was issued in exchange for interest coupons, due upon said first mortgage bonds, and is, with the interest due thereon, a lien imder the said first mortgage, and consti- tutes a part of the debt secured thereby ;" and by the decree it is further adjudged and decreed "that the entire amount of bonds secured by the said first mortgage la the sum of $4,050,260, being the amount of first mortgage bonds of $3,200,000, * * * and the said amount of $850,260 of second mortgage bonds issued as security for interest due on said first mortgage bonds. * * * That the entire amount of bonds outstanding and unpaid, secured by the said second mortgage, » * * jg the sum of $2,100,000, of which amount the sum of $850,200 was issued to secure past-due interest coupons on said first mortgage."

In the fi.rst place it may be remarked that the provision in question in the deoree ia similar to that inserted in railroad mortgage foreclosure decrees in this cir- cuit, as I am advised by the circuit judge, whom, for cer- tainty of information, I have consulted on the point. Obvi- ously, the vable of the bonds and coupons must depend on the value of the mortgaged property, and that value is best ascertainable by sale of the property. I do not see, there- fore, how it would be possible, or at least practicable, to determine the value of the bonds, or to determine what per- centage of value should be applied on the bid, before the sale transpires. There may be prior liens to be paid in the shape of intervening claims, and I cannot perceive how a proper and effectuai sale can be made, — if bonds are to be applied on the bid, — unless the court is permitted to fix the rate, after the sale is reported, at which bonds shall be received. And it would seem that an attempted ascertainment of value of the bonds, before the sale, for the purpose of fiiing the rate at which they may be applied on the bid, would be more likely to involve injustice, especially to small holders, than an ascertainment made subsequently, because before sale the only value susceptible of proof might be one merely nominal, while after the sale the value would be actually represented by a realized price. In this connection it is urged that the decree does- not determine what amount of bonds may be taken to apply on the bid, Whether it can be said, in strict- ness of definition, that the sale authorized by the decree is a cash sale or not, I think it is equivalent to that- The decree provides that $25,000 in cash shall be pa,id by the bidder at the tin^e of the sale; that after such payment the balance of the bid may he paid in bonds and coupons, or, as it is ex- pressed in another part of the decree j after the payment of «osts and expanses, etc., the rejuainder of the purchase money<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> euz24kwvvytrz4vrk6bzz00fgyf20xr Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/120 104 697295 15135302 8174278 2025-06-14T22:31:03Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, FEDBB → FEDER, EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, ORTBB → ORTER, removed: � (7) 15135302 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>108 FEDERAL REPORTER. 4. The petition alleges that the receiver in the foreclosure action bas filed a bill in this court, against D. M. Kelly and others, to set aside certain deeds of depot grounds, right of way, and other lands, ■which, it is claimed by the receiver, belong to the railroad company, and which, it is claimed by the defendants in said bill, belong to them ; that the right of the company to said property should be adjudicated in the foreclosure suit ; and that the title deeds thereof were of rec- ord before the bill in the foreclosure action was filed ; and it is further alleged in the petition that the said D. M. Kelly and others, who are defendants in the action brought by the receiver to settle the title of the lands in controversy in that action, were necessary parties in the foreclosure suit, and that without their presence in that suit their legal or equita- able rights to the lands cannot be eut ofif by the foreclosure decree, and a perfect title thereto given to the bidder at the foreclosure sale. I am Tjnable to see how the rights of the petitioner are injuriously affected by the facts thus alleged. It is apparent, from the allegations she makes, that D. M. Kelly and others are claiming the lands in question as their own under a title adverse to the railroad company. If they succeed in the litiga- tion with the receiver, they will hold the lands. If they fail, then it will resuit that the lands fall into the general mass of property covered by the mortgages, and the title will pass to the purchaser at foreclosure sale. Sueh a question of adverse title could not be litigated in the foreclosure suit ; and, more- over, the petitione^*, in my opinion, divests herself of ail right to make this objection to the decree and the foreclosure proceedings, because, in connection ,with her allegations on the subject, she denies that the lands in question are the property of the railroad company, and of course thereby infer- entiaily affirms the right and title to the lands of the defend- ants in the action brought by the receiver. 6. But it is charged in the petition that the action to fore- close the mortgages in suit was fraudulently and collusively brought ; and in the consideration of this phase of the case it is necessary to take notice of the allegations of the petition.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> a4423fu1l5fvahjiof7ld209klp3huc Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/124 104 697300 15135303 14627668 2025-06-14T22:31:04Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: witb → with, AIi → AL , POBT → PORT, L EKPORT → L REPORT, FEDEBA → FEDERA, removed: � (7) 15135303 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>112 JFEDERAL REPORTEK. interests of the petitioner. But it is not perceived how or •wherein they could operate to her in jury; and, moreover, the trathfulness of those admissions is nowhere denied or ques- tioned in the present petition. I, have examined with care the cases cited by petitioner's counsel : Lord v. Veazie, 8 How. 251 ; Gaines v. Hennen, 24 How. 55S ; Wood Paper Co. v. Heft, 8 Wall. 334; Cleveland T. Chamberlain, 1 Black, 419; and Forrest v. M., S., d L, Ry. Co. 65 Eng. Ch. Eep. 125. This opinion has been already extended to such length thati forbear to enter upon a review of those cases further than to say that I deem them upon tbeir facts, and in the prinoiples they involve, inapplicabk to the case at bar. 6. Ineorporated in the petition is a copyof the bondholders* agreement and proposed plan of reorganization of the Green Bay & Minnesota Eailroad Company, which, it is alleged, Blair and Dodge and their associates seek to consummate to the alleged detriment and injury of other bondholders and of stoek- holders. I have been somewhat at a loss to determine just the extent to which this extrinsic matter should be considered by the court as bearing upon the validity of the proceedings in the foreclosure suit, or as affording ground for the petitioner to file a bill of review. Certainly it can only be considered to the extent that the particular interests of the petitioner may be involved. The agreement appears to be a voluntary one, and ail holders of bonds, second as well as first mort- gage bonds, with certain stoekholders of the company, are permitted to participate in it. The provisions are such as, I believe, are usual in such agreements. The plan of reorgan- ization contemplates the issue of first and second mortgage bonds, and of preferred and common stock, by a new com- pany, and provides for the exchange, on certain terms and at certain rates, of bonds and stock of the old company for bond» and stock of the new. Such equality of footing as may ren- der secure the varions interests of the parties who may enter into the arrangement, appears to be accorded to different classes of bondholders and stoekholders; and on the whole, in considering this branch of the case, I do no not think that<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 7zrp03zsg0y72j3v5ksna9okqy8bnmi Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/132 104 697308 15135304 14560795 2025-06-14T22:31:05Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: ORTK → ORTE, removed: � (7) 15135304 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>120 FEDERAL REPORTER. it could be sold for that sum ; that it was making largo profits ; that he was willing to sell one-half his stock, being three- eighths of the mine, to Copelin for $225,000 cash, and the assumption by Copelin of three-eighths of the mortgage debt ; that Copelin's mind had become at this time niuch impaired and -weakened, so that he was incapable of managing his affairs intelligently, or comprehending the scope and effect of what he did, and was easily imposed on by the representa- tions and flattery of others; that between the fourth and tenth days of February, 1871, the defendant did, by persist- ent and repeated representations so made to Copelin, induce him to buy the stock at the price before mentioned, xna that an agreement for the purchase was made, which is copied intothe bill; that Copelin paid the $225,000, and $37,500 of the debts; that Copelin was not capable of understanding eyen a true representation, but the defendant in fact greatly overstated the value of the property ; that Copelin knew noth- ing of the property except what he learned from the defend- ant ; that the defendant knew, or had reason to believe, that Copelin was not of sound mind; that in November, 1873, Copelin was found by a jury to be of unsound mind ; and that in December, 1873, a guardian was appointed for him, who wrote to the defendant a letter rescinding the contract, and offering to return the stock. The prayer is that the defendant may answer without his oath, that the contract and oonveyance may be annulled, and the defendant be adjudged to pay the sum so receivedby him. The answer denies all the specifie allegations and charges concerning the state of mind of Copelin, and the defendant's knowledge thereof, and all the other facts relied on to show fraud or undue influence, and sets ont at much length the circumstances of the purchase of three-fourths of the mine by the defendant, and his sale of one-haK of his interest to Copelin; that the purpose and object of sale was in fact to procure the assistance of an able business man in Missouri; that Copelin was not known to him until this time, when he was introduced by a f riend as being such a business man ;<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> mzk4t9qvfa5utq13k72q86knel0w6ji Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/136 104 697312 15135305 12455308 2025-06-14T22:31:06Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (8) 15135305 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>124 FEDBEAL REPORTER. aggregate his speculations were very considerable, and it is probable that his family became alarmed. A great deal of evidence has been given to show on the one hand the extrav- agant character of these transactions, and on the other that they were not extravagant. The net resuit to his family, I fear, was a great loss. In July, 1871, he went to Europe and traveled there some months for his health and recreation. In August, for the first time, a physician, expert in insanity, was consulted in JEdinburgh. He pronounced Copelin insane, and in his de- position, (vol. 1, p. 177,) being asked his opinion, formed at the date of that examination, as to the length of time Mr, Copelin had been laboring under the effects of this disease, he says : "It is impossible to answer this question definitely. It may have existed a few months only, or a year or more. My opinion at the time. was that it had existed several months." Whether by several months he meant six months, which would carry it back to about the date of the purchase, I do not know. All the other experts were consulted much later, and the weight of their opihion, so far as they are willing to express it, appears to be that it was possible, but not v^y probable, that the disease had begun as early as February, 1871. The business of Copelin was conducted as usual until af ter his return from Europe. In December, 1871, and January, 1872, he resigned his several offices as president and director in the companies above mentioned. This may be taken as the time when he was found to be so clearly insane that the family and friends were obliged to make public admission of the fact. The three possible witnesses most competent to fix the exact dates — Copelin's wife, his mother-in-law, and his sister — have net been examined. Taking these promineiit and admitted facts into considera- tion, and reviewing the voluminous and detailed testimony in the record, I do not find it proved that Copelin was tion com- pas February 10, 1871, nor that he was incapable of ratify- ing a contract after that time, or of making a power of attorney in July, 1871.

LowBLL, C. J. In this action at law a motion is made that the defendants be required to answer certain interrogatories, iiled in the clerk's office, in accordance with the practice of the state. Gen. St. c 129, §§ 46-57. The cheap and easy substitute for a bill of discovery, which was adopted in Mas- sachusetts in 1852, bas proved to be useful, and the question is whether it is now part of the practice of the circuit court, by Tirtue of Eev. St. § 914. Another statute of the state, of still grea ter value, and much older, but later than the yeftr 1780, when -we first adopted the state practice, authorizes a court of law to appoint auditors in certain cases, and makes their report evidence. If these equitable powers, given to courts of common law, are not adopted, the circumstanoe is to be regretted ; but the question seems to be a very doubtful one. Speaking generally, the mothod of obtaining evidence to be used at a trial would be a part of the practice and modes of proceeding of the courts. It is so understood by congress, which gives the supreme court power to prescribe such modes of obtaining evidence and discovery as it may see fit, not in- consistent with any statute. Eev. St. § 917. This provision seems to me to weaken very much the argument so ably pre- sented by Judge Dyer in Eaaton v. Hodges, 7 Biss. 324, that the legislation of congress is intended to cover the whole sub- ject of evidence, and to exclude it from the domain of practice altogether. With much of that able opinion I agree, and I have no doubt that the decision in that case was sound. The adoption of the state practice is not intended to affect the courts of the United States, sitting in equity, in the slightest degree. There is no doubt that discovery is a branch of equity, and it follows that a cheap and easy substitute for a bill of discovery cannot take away the right of a suitor to file such a bill, if he is foolish enough to desire to do so. So of auditors : they are a convenient substitute for a bill in equity, and the power to appoint them in an action at law cannot deprive a plaintiff of the right to go into equity for an account.

And Justice Gurtis, saying in 1 Gurtis, 64 : "I hold it to be my duty not ta interfere with the verdict of a jury as being against the evidence unless I can clearly see that the jury have uncon- sciously fallen iato some mistake, or been actuated by some improper motive, in rendering their verdict;" And again saying, in 2 Curtis; 16 : "Now, what I have to determine upoji this motion is -whether I can clearly see that the jury must have fallen into some important mistake, or must have de^ parted from some rule of la^, or have made deductions from the evidence which are plainly not warranted by it." , Now, recognizing as sound the rule of conduct deducible from these utteranees of Justices Story and Curtis, not to say prescribed by them, I am constrained to adjndge that, upon Ijhe ground firstly above stated, the said verdict should be set aside and a new trial granted; for I oannot but clearly see that the jury must have fallen into some important mistate, or must have departed from some rule of law, or have made deductions from the evidence which are plainly not warranted by it, and consequently cannot but sustain the motion. Had the verdict of the jury been simply for the defendant, without special mention of either of the two pleas in the case, it may be conceded there would have been no tenable ground for impeaehing it as against the evidence. The verdict would have been regarded as the resultant of the jury's delibera- tions upon ail the evidence submitted to them, and with their finding the court might well decline to intermeddle. But such» it is agreed, was not their verdict, "We find for the de- fendant upon the general issue, and give no consideration to the special pleas," was in substance their verdict, which, with the assent of the'leamed counsel of the parties, the court not interposing, was affirmed and recorded in these words : "In the above suit the jury find that the defendants are not guilty of the trespasses, or any part thereof, in manner and form as the plaintiffs have alleged in their declaration."

Blancke filed another mechanic's lien daim in the same office for $264.35, for materials furnished for the same build- ing from September 7 to December 30, 1 872 ; that a sum- mons was issued thereon March 15, and final judgment entered June 18, 1873. (8) That on the twenty-fourth of September, 1873, the premises in controversy were sold by the sheriff of the county of Union, under these lien judgments, to the plaintiflf in this suit for the consideration of $100, and a deed duly exe- cuted to him therefor. It will be perceived that both parties claim title to the land in dispute through Charles L. Sicher, — the defendant, under and through a deed from the United States marshal, given upon a sale of the property, under a decree of forfeiture and condemnation to the use of the United States, in the dis- trict court for New Jersey; and the plaintiff, under a deed from the sheriff of the county of Union, given upon a sale by virtue of two judgments upon lien claims in the circuit court of the county of Union. These facts present for considera- tion questions of great importance, and involve the construc- tioja of the acts of congress in regard to the forfeiture of real estate on account of violations of the internai revenue laws of the United States. I have carefully examined the several sections alleged to have been violated, in the information filed for the forfeiture and condemnation of the land and premises in dispute, and also the mechanic's lien law of the state of New Jersey, under the provisions of which the plaintiff claims to have derived his title, and will briefly state the conclu- sions of law to which I have arrived. I am of the opinion — (1) That while, possibly, by the phraseology of section M of the act of July 20, 1868, (which has been re-enacted in the Eev. St. § 3281,) only the right and interest of the owner of inculpated distillery premises can be condemned and for- feited,— 'no such limitation on the right of forfeiture is found in either section 7 (section 3260, Eev.

But, whether this be so or not, I am of the opinion that nnder the proceedings iw rem, to give effect to the forfeiture, ail persons claiming liens against the res were notifled to come in and establish their liens; that after seizure by the marshal the property was in the possession of the court for that purpose; that whilst, by such proceedings, the lien upon the res was divested by the sale, it attached at once to the fund in court which was realized by the sale; and that the claimants mistook their remedy by going into the state courts to enforce their liens, and should have applied to the district court, where the property was, to be allowed to participate in the proceeds of its sale to the extent of their claims ; and that, if their failure so to do has resulted in their loss, no blame can attaoh to the government, which afforded them ample opportunity for a judieial consideration of their claims. Whether the liene attached to the premises, notwithstanding the forfeiture, it is notnecessary here to decide. The ques- tion was raised and disoussed by Judge Dillon in the case of the U. S. v; Macoy, 2 Bill. 299, and left by him unadjudi- cated. 5. Entert-aining the foi^egoing view, I- am further of the opinion that the plaintiff is not entitled to recover in this suit, and tbaf a judgment must be entered for the defendant, with costs. ■■■■ '■<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> j2p9cx99rn1zlocly4wgprcb89g9p8w Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/162 104 697339 15135311 14560785 2025-06-14T22:31:11Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EPORTEB → EPORTER, removed: � (14) 15135311 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>150 FEDERAL liEPORTER.

In this case a verdict was directed for the plaintiffs, subject to the opinion of the court upon the ques- tions of law which are involved. I had intended to give the facts at length, but am not able to devote the neeessary time to that labor. There were 16 cases of worsted, and worsted and cotton, goods in the invoice.

I suppose that all the goods were ladies' dress goods. ; The corrected invoice was made and received before any appraisal, and was accepted by the collecter as the true in- voicey who also amended the plaintiffs' original entry to cor- respond with the corrected invoice. The appraisers did not advanee cases 2007 and. 2014, containing goods called Tilania, above the corrected invoice, and no additional duty was levied upon these cases.

In support of these objections, it is urged that section 5017 of the Eevised Statutes provides that the schedule of debts, and the inven- tory of the estate, must be verified by the oath of the peti- tioner ; that section 5014, in requiring a debtor to applyby peti- tion, requires that he shall sign the petition, or in person verify the schedule and inventory, so as to make it appear that he sanctions and authorizea the proceeding ; that when the stat- ute intends that a matter in bankruptcy shall be conducted by an agent, it is so prescribed; that section 12 of the Act of June 22, 1874, (18 U.

It is a collateral suit. Gabriel Netter does not raise the question. It doea not appear that he ever raised it in the bankruptcy court by asking to have the proceeding as to him vacated, on the ground that Albert Net- ter was not his agent. There can be no doubt that the bank- ruptcy court acquired jurisdiction of the case in respect to Gabriel Netter, and so in respect to the firm, although the petition was signed and verified on his behalf, and for him, and not by him personally. The prescription in varions other places in the statute as to how an agent shall do cer- tain acts in:bankruptcy matters, cannot be construed into a provision that the signing and verifying of a petition in vol- untary bankruptcy by an agent of the debtor, where the peti- tion purports to be the petition of the debtor, shall not be regarded as a suffieient signing and verifying by the debtor, so as to require it to be held, in a collateral action, that the court did not acquire Jurisdiction of the proceeding. Whether there was satisfactory evidence before the bank- ruptcy court that Albert Netter was the agent of Gabriel Netter, and authorized to present and sign the petition in the name and behalf of Gabriel Netter, and to verify it and the schedule and inventory on the behalf of Gabriel Netter, and whether the averments of the petition and the oaths as to the agency and authority, and the forms of the oaths in other respects, were adequate and suf&cient to satisfy that court of the existence of the agency and authority, and of the formai sufficiency of the petition and oaths, were ques- tions exclusively for the consideration of the bankruptcy court, and cannot be reviewed in this suit. There were in the petition, and in the signatures to it, and in the oaths, and in the signatures to them, such averments and state- ments as to the fact that Albert Netter was the agent of and the attorney in fact for Gabriel Netter, as authorized the bankruptcy court to exercise its judgment as to whether it was satisfied of the existence of such agency and attorney- ship, and to determine that it was so satisfied, if it was so satisfied.

Specifications against Discharge. . Thomas D. Hoxaey, for bankrupt, H. A. Williams, for creditors. Nixon, D. J. Yarious specifications are filed against the discharge of the bankrupt, but when explained they all seem to revolve around the methods resorted to, and the expedients adopted by his attorney to procure the requisite one-fourth of his creditors in number, and one-third in value, to consent to the discharge. The application for the discharge was filed June 17, 1879, and the order upon the creditors to show cause why the same should not be granted was returnable on the twenty -second of July following. On the day before the return of the same, to-wit, on the twenty-first of July, four new proofs of claim were made and filed with the register : (1) One by John C. G. Kobertson, who had already put in a proof for upwards of $1,200, and who now proved an addi- tional claim for $300, consisting of two promissory notes and a check, which had been procured without consideration from some faithless creditors, who had not deemed them worth the expense of proving ; (2) one by Joseph Parker, the father-in- law of the bankrupt, and who paid one Thomas Beverage $25<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 8al6iymurz589gwx63v9312tt1pah3b Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/186 104 697363 15135315 14627048 2025-06-14T22:31:15Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, EDEBAL → EDERAL , POBTER → PORTER, removed: � (7) 15135315 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>174 FEDERAL REPORTER. right belweeu me and my jmst oreditors," The court, speak- ing by Mr. Justice Hunt, said that the debt, having been dis- charged by the discharge: of the debtor, was not renewed by such expressions ; that the law required an absolute or con- ditional promise to pay; but, in either case, it must be une- quivocal. the other promise of the bankrupt is unequivocal, although conditional. The crediter was asked ': Question 2 70 . "Did he (the bankrupt) say how he would manifest his gratitude for it?" (i. e., for proving the debt and giving the consent.) Answer. "By paying me ail he ever owed me when he got able." Such a condititional promise has always been held ' to be binding when proof is made of the ability of the bank- rupt to pay. Freeman v.

Wharton, 2 S. & E. 208 ; James on Bank. 146. Kingston v. Wharton, supra, was quite like the case under consideration. The plaintiff in the suit was an indorser upon the note of the bankrupt. On the twenty-ninth of De- cember, 1800, the debtor wrote to him asking him to take up the note at maturity, and declaring, "The moment I am able to relieve ybu, I will." The note fell due Pebruary 13, 1801, was protested and paid by the plaintiff. A commission of bankruptcy was issued against the defendant Maroh 16, 1801, under which he was declared a bankrupt, and on the twenty- sixth of May, folio wing, he obtained his discharge. The action was founded upon a promise to pay when the debtor should be able. The letter was treated by the court as a promise made by the debtor to induce the crediter not to oppose his discharge, and such promise was held to be good. The debt, notwithstanding the discharge, remained due in conscience. The moral obligation to pay still existed, and was a sufScient consideration to support the promise. Stress was laid upon the fact that in England it required an act of parliament (5 Geo. II, c. 30, § 11,) toavoid a promise by the bankrupt to pay a debt which otherwise would have been discharged<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 7z4a0h2xe5v0f8cpt7sq8nlybz3xhwk Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/192 104 697369 15135316 14627671 2025-06-14T22:31:16Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, FEDBB → FEDER, EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, TEB. → TER., removed: � (9) 15135316 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>180 FEDERAt.

The plaintiffs except to the an- Bwer on the ground that this releaae, if given precisely as it is arorred to have been given, is insufficient in law to bar the plaintiffs' suit. A substantive defence, not responsive to the plaintiffs' inquiry in bis bill, is not the subject of exception. That form of objection applies only to an insufficient discovery, or to scandai and impertinence. The plaintiffs intende d by their exceptions to procure a hearing upon the validity of this defence as if it were a plea and they had set it down. But it is not a plea. It is part of the answer, and is merely one of several defences. By the thirty-ninth rule in equity a defendant may make a plea part of bis answer, and, if he does so, be shall not be compellable to answer more, or otherwise, than if he had oled a regular plea. The defendants have taken no advantage of this rule ; they have answered the whole bill fully ; and their request to have the same advantage as if they had pleaded the release, bas no meaning. As it stands, it is, as I have said, one sub- stantive defence not used by way of plea at ail, but by way of alternative answer. It stands precisely like the defence of the statute of limitations, which they also rely on in another part of their answer, and which they might have used by way of plea or demurrer. Whether the court may not have power to hear such a de- fence before requiring the whole case to be gone into, is not now the question. There is no regular authorized mode of pleading, like a demurrer, to test the legal validity of part of an answer; but possibly, on motion, some order might be taken to dispose of part of a case in the first instance, if it should be found that groat delay and expense might thereby be avoided.

Choate, D. J. This is a suit to recover damages sustained by the libellant's canal-boat, the H. B. Moore, resulting from a collision with the steam-boat Delaware, on the thirtieth day of July, 1879. The Delaware is a large side-wheel steam ferry-boat, of the Pavonia line, and was on her trip from New York to the Pavonia ferry, Jersey City, and the collision took place just off the mouth of the ferry slip, on the Jersey City side, a little after 3 o'clock in the morning. The weather was fine and clear, and lights could be plainly seen. The libellant's canal-boat and another canal-boat, the Gibbes, both loaded with wheat, were taken in tow by the steam-tug Mississquoi at the grain dock, or pier No. 8, which is about 800 feet to the northward of the ferry slip in Jersey City. Both the canal-boats were made fast on the starboard side of the tug. The tug having made the Gibbes fast along-side got a line on the H. B. Moore and hauled her ont into the river, and there made her fast along-side the Gibbes. The Gibbes projected forward of the tug, and the H, B. Moore a little forward of the Gibbes. The tug backed out and up the river in getting the H. B. Moore along-side. The canal-boats were bound for the Cunard dock, on the Jersey side of the river, below the ferry, and before the tug got straightened down the river she had drifted a short distance down stream. The tide was ebb along the docks on the Jersey shore, but the current was very slight. After getting straightened down the tug started down the river. The testimony on the part of the libellant is that after get- ting started down the river under two bells, and when they had attained a speed of two or three miles an hour, the pilot of the tug saw the ferry-boat coming aeross the river heading about for the tug — that is, to the northward of the ferry slip to which she was bound; that the tug gave her one whistle to indicate that she would pass to the right of the ferry-boat — that is, cross her bow before the ferry-boat entered her slip. The testimony on both sides is that as the tide was that morning, in her usual course from slip to slip, before the ferry-boat gets headed for her slip she does head further to the northward, pointing about north-west, and afterwards, and as she approaches her<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> kkxo43v922er1tyjqkcjmsod2r65xgt Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/244 104 697421 15135321 8174412 2025-06-14T22:31:21Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PBD → FED, FEDEBA → FEDERA, EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, TEB. → TER., removed: � (12) 15135321 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>232 FEDERAL REPORTER.

This case is important as affording an opportunity for a judieial construction of the election laws upon the somewhat difficult questions arising on the evidence before us. This is the only manner in which a court of justice can conoern itself with elections.

A court of justice can regularly have to do only ■with causes inter partes. AU its forms and proceedings lead to an issue of fact or law, or both, between lUigants; and its function consists in deciding such issues. As incidental to this function it may grant injunctions and restraining oi'ders for proteeting property in controversy or the rights of liti- gants ; and it may issue writs of haheas corpus as a means of asceriaining whether a person in confinement is lawfuUj ooiifined upon a criminal charge.

If it is paid for liim by another, not in the way of a bribe, and without any un- derstanding, express or implied, that he is to vote for a par- ticular candidate, then the payment is legal and in every way proper. If it is paid as a bribe, or with an understand- ing, express or implied, that he is to vote for a particular candidate, then he commits an offence punishable by a $20 fine, for which he may be prosecuted; and that is the only penalty which the law visits upon the act : it does not inval- idate the vote or re-impQge the disqualification of the voter. And 80, if the taxes of these men had been paid, whether in violation of law or not in violation of law, the right to vote attached to them on such payment of the tax, and their votes should of right have been received. Judges of election have nothing to do with penal laws. They are not at liber ty to suspect, as to a citizen who pleads that his tax has been paid, that another person has paid it for him ; to try him summarily under a penal statute, which condemns him only in a penalty of a $20 fine, and to eonvict and sentence him to the different penalty of being disqualified from voting ; acting in the space of five minutes as prosecutor, judge, and jury. This would be a revival of star-chamber methods, and is re- pugnant to ail our American ideas of free government and civil liberty. I therefore instruct you, gentlemen, that these receipts were sufficient evidence of the payment of the taxes of the men named in them ; that these men became thereby qual- ified to vote on the receipts, whether the law of 1878 had been violated or not ; and that, even if the law had in fact been violated, such violation only subjected the parties to the offence to a fine of $20, triable and punishable by a court of justice, and not to disfranchisement by these judges of election ; for the violation did not re-impose the disqualification which )iad existed before the tax had been paid. I have thus disposed of the principal question in this case, to-wit, whether the persons named in the indictment as hav- ing offered to vote were qualified voters.

From this it appears that the question of there being a levy upon other property was brought directly before the court, and the record, therefore, shows clearly that the question was considered, and it was the fact in the case upon which the decision was based. The supreme court in that case says that they decided the following points : "First, to take a case out of the operation of the seven- teenth section, (now 5415,) a levy must have been made on the property in question within a year after the rendi- tion of the judgment. A levy on other property, though within the year, will not save the lien as to the property not levied upon. Second, if there are several judgments, and the property in. question bas not been levied upon within the year under either of them, they stand on an equal footing, and the judgment crediter who iirst takes out execution and causes a levy to be made will. have the preference. Third, if execution on an older judgment bas not been levied upon a particular piece of property within the year, and an execu- tion upon a junior judgment has been levied upon that prop- erty within the year, the junior judgment must have the preference, aJthough a levy may have been made on the same property under the older judgment before the levy was made on the junior judgment. The lien of the junior judgment on ail the property not levied upon under the older judgment within the year must continue from one year from its date to the exclusion of the older judgment, provided the junior judg- ment was rendered before the levy was made on the older judgment. A levy on the older judgment, though after the year, if made before the date of the junior judgment, will baye the preference."<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> fdee88koayl49j0q33enrcgq9f3wyva Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/288 104 697465 15135325 8174457 2025-06-14T22:31:25Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDBB → FEDER, EEPO → REPO, REPOETER → REPORTER, removed: � (17) 15135325 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>276 FEDERAL REPORTER. rights of the parties must be determined as of the date of the adjudication of bankruptcy.

The original patent expired in 1865, and was ex- tended for seven years, terminating the twenty-fifth of No- vember, 1872. At the November term, 1872, this court, {Oilcs, 1.,) sustained the validity of the patent, and decided that the defendant had infringed, and these cases went to the master, (Eobert Lyon Eogers, Esq.,) to state an account of gains and profits, and to assess damages. On this account- ing the parties have examined witnesses at great length during a period of some six years, and the master, in Novem- ber, 1880, filed his reports in ail three cases, together with thetestimony (which is contained in two large printed books) on which he based his findings. The master reports the number of cars on which, in each year, the defendant used the complainants' patent, commonly known as the "Stevens" brake, and reports that hefindsfrom the testimony that 'the defendant did derive savings and ad- vantages in the use of the "Stevens" brake over what it would have derived from the use of any other similar device open to the public. The master further reports that he finds that the savings and advantages which so accrued to the defendant from such use, amounted to $30 per car per year and at that rate he finds the gains and profits which the complainants are enti- tled to recover, amounting in the aggregate to $102,480. He further reports that during the period covered by two of the suits, viz., from 1857 to the expiration of the patent, he finds that the complainants had established a license fee of $25 per year per car for the use of the patent, and, assum- ing the license fee as the measure of complainants' damage, he assesses the damages at that rate in those two cases. But he reports that he finds no satisfactory evidence that any license fee was established during the period covered by one of the suits, viz., from 1853 to 1857, and, findingno evidence from which he can eompute the damages, he finds none for that period. The "Stevens" brake was used by the defendant onits pas- senger cars, and the number on which it was bo used, as reported by the master is not disputed; but exceptions have<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 935n0ut7gh1u1qdx9l8jlzsh9iu2gcy Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/327 104 697505 15135328 14560706 2025-06-14T22:31:28Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, removed: � (8) 15135328 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>OLSEN V. SCHOONER EDWIN PORT. 315 Bradford, D. J. The libellants were shipped on board said Bchooner at the port of Philadelphia, on the Delaware, thence "bound ffom said port to the Delaware break-water, and waters tributary to the Delaware river and coast of Mary- land and New Jersey, to be engagea in wrecking, and back to Philadelphia, for a term of six months," as set forth in the fihipping articles produced in evidence. It appears from the ev- idence they were all foreigners, and but imperfectly acquainted with the English language, and could neither read nor write the same. It also further appears by the evidence of the ship- ping master, Wilson, and by the testimony of the respondent Lubker himself, that the articles were explained to the men by said Lubker and Wilson to be a contract to pay wages for the term of six months, for working on said vessel in the business in which she was engaged; that is, wrecking in and about the harbor of Lewes, at the entranoe of Delaware bay. It is in evidence that the vessel never did in fact return to Philadelphia, and that all these seamen performed their duty faithfully for more than a period of six months; and that, after making several unsuccessful demands for their wages, finally left her in winter quarterg, and in a place of safety, selected by the master of the schooner. The respondents, however, claim that no wages whatever are due under the shipping articles until the voyage for which they shipped is completed by the arrivai of the vessel at the port of Philadelphia, after six months from the date of ship- ment of the crew; and, further, that they had forfeited their wages by misconduct in opening a box of the master and taking three bottles of beer without leave ; and, further, by leaving the ship in a position of danger and peril without the permission of the master. The authorities cited by the respondent no doubt establish the position of the necessity of the completion of the voyage for which the seaman is shipped, as a condition precedent for the payment of the full wages due, unless the seaman is nnjustly discharged by the master during the interim.

AU the evidence shows that there was no wrongful presentation of the case as regards its substantial merits in the libel as filed originally. Leaving out of view minor questions of date and form, to which extent the amendments to the libel only went, never- theless the master refused to pay the wages of his seamen, which he admitted had been earned by their faithful and contanuous labor for a period of over six months, if not for- feited for other causes. Thus it will be seen that the objec- tion to amending the libel is not one going to the merits of the action. He is not entitled to have costs by reason of the amendment, and they must be denied.

Babb, D. J. Tbis suit is brought to recover of defendant, as executrix, the sum of $100,000, with interest from July 29, 1872, which it is alleged was expended and lost by rea- son of, and upon, the fraudulent pretences and representa- tions made by Philip Arnold to the plaintiff in reference to a pretended discovery of a diamond field on the borders of New Mexico and Arizona. The answer of the defendant traverses the allegations of the petition, and pleads and relies upon the statute of limitations, which bars such actions after five years. One of the paragraphs of the answer alleges that the cause of action accrued when the money was paid, in July, 1872, and when the alleged fraud was perpetrated; and the other para- graph sets up and relies upon the statute of limitations, upon • the idea that the cause of action accrued when plaintiff dis- covered the fraud, or could with reasonable diligence have discovered it. This is alleged to have been in the month of November or December, 1872. The replication of plaintiff, in one of its paragraphs, attempts to avoid the allegation of the second paragraph in the answer by alleging the discovery of the fraud of Arnold within five years before the bringing of the suit, which was October 23, 1879. This paragraph of the replication bas been held bad on demurrer, because it did not allege any facts showing or tending to show diligence in the investigation of the alleged fraud. Time was given plain- tiff to amend his replication. This time has expired, and no amendment has been filed or tendered. The demurrer to the other paragraph of the replication Was overruled. This par- agraph (third) was perhaps intended to be a traverse of the third paragraph of the answer of the defendant, which sets up and relies upon the statute of limitations, upon the idea that the cause of action only accrued when the fraud was discovered, and that the burden of alleging and proving when the discovery was made, is upon the defendant. The defendant now moves the court for judgment upon the plea of the statute, as pleaded in the second paragraph of the answer. This motion is based upon the theory that plaintiff's cause of action is presumed to have accrued when the fraud is alleged to have been perpetrated, and the money<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> hx4sxj53i8ykkojl4v97j63hb3v2be1 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/378 104 697560 15135331 8174557 2025-06-14T22:31:31Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FKDE → FEDE, FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (7) 15135331 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>3;66 FEDERAL REPORTER. to have been in -writing, and within the knowledge and eon- trol of the defendant, and therefore the omission to produce it is a matter which must have more or less weight against the defendant, aceording to , the circumstances of the case. Portions of the evidence partake of the character of hearsay, and some of it is decidedly argumentative. In considering it, it will be impossible to ignore the history of the period and place to which it relates. Eeading it, then, by this light, and where it is oontradictory or obscure supplementing it from this source, the material facts about the settlement and occupation of the mission station at The Dalles are these : In the spring of 1838 the Eev. Daniel Lee and Eev. H. K. W. Perkins, under the direction of the Eev. Jason Lee, the superintendent of the defendant in Oregon, established a mis- sion within the limits of the tract described in the patent herein, at a place then called Wascopum, In the fall of the same year it was stocked with cattle from the Wallamet val- ley. The place was favorably situated for trade and inter- course with the Indians and immigrants from the east — the latter usually, at this point, exchanging their wagons for boats, and often bartering their poor oxen for supplies, such as fresh beef and the like. In 1840 Mr. H. B. Brewer went to reside there as a farmer for the mission. Perkins and Lee left the mission for the east in 1844, and the Eev. A. F. Waller joined it about the same time. Waller and Brewer remained there until the transfer of the station to Whitman, in 1847. In 1844 the Eev. George Gary superseded Jason Lee as superintendent of the Oregon mission. Apparently the society had become dis- satisiied with the secular character and cost of the mission- ary operations, and sent Gary here to bring about a change in this respect. To this end, soon after his arrivai in the territory, the varions mission stations, exoept The Dalles, and ail the mission property, consisting mainly of large herds of horses and cattle, were disposed of to members of the mis- sion; so that after 1844 the defendant had no "mission among the Indian tribes" in Oregon except at The Dalles.

At the time the defendant abandoned this station there were about 70 acres under some kind of snclosure, about one-half of which had been under cultiva- tion. There were six moderate-sized buildings upon the promises, a dwelling, meeting, school, and storehouse, barn and workshop, built of logs, except the dwelling, which was a frame fiUed in with adobe. The buildings were plain, and constructed mostly with Indian labor, and did not cost to exceed $4,000, at which valuation they were afterwards — on June 16,1860 — paid for by the United States, upon the claim and estimate of the defendant to that effect, See H. of E. Eep. No, 145, 2d Sess. 35th Gong.; 12 St. 44. On November 29, 1847, Dr. Whitman and othera were murdered at Wailatpu, by the Indians of that station, and this was followed by what is known as the Cayuse war, in which the people of Oregon, under the provisional government, undertook to chastise the Cayuse Indians for this massacre. By midsummer of 1848 hostilities had ceased and peace was established, and in the latter part of the summer the troops were withdrawn from the country and returned to their homes. About December 16th, Perrin B. Whitman, who had re- mained in charge of the station at The Dalles, being appre- heasive of danger, left for the Wallamet valley, taking with him Mr. Alanson Hinman, whom his uncle had sent there from Wailatpu in October as a farmer and housekeeper. A detachment of volunteers soon after occupied the premises, with the permission of said Whitman, and it remained in the possession of the troops of the provisional govemment until they were withdrawn from the country as stated. There- after, the premises remained unoccupied, except occasionally by passing travelers and immigrants, until the spring of 1850, when a military post was established there by the United States, and the premises included in a military reserve. There never were any Indian hostilities at The Dalles of a general or serions nature, or within 100 miles of the place.

To occupy is to possess, not constructively but <ictually. The word is of more limited signification than pos- session. It is derived from oh and capio — to lay hold of — and means to possess by having hold of or being actually upon the thing possessed, continuously and exolusively. Therefore, there.can be no such thing as constructive occu- pancy. But when one bas the complete legal title to land, and is therefore entitled to the possession of the same in law, he is deemed to have it. U. S. v. Arredondo, 6 Pet. 743. But prior to August 14, 1848, there could be no such posses- sion of lands in Oregon, because the legal title was in the United States. Occupancy or actual possession was the only interest any one then had in lands in Oregon, and when that •was given up or abandoned, the relation of the party to the land was absolutely terminated, and it was open to occupa^ "tion by the next corner as though the foot of man had never been upon it. Lownsdale v. Citp of Portland, 1 Deady, 1. Prior to August 14, 1848, the only interest which the de- fendant had in the premises was that of occupancy or actual possession. It therefore could have no constructive posses- sion of the land. If this actual possession or occupancy existed at the passage of the act making the grant, the title of the United States was then and thereby and on that occa- sion vested in the defendant, but not otherwise. The act makes the grant to take effect, not upon an occupation which pre- fleded or followed it, but upon that which was contempora- neous with it. The grant was made upon the condition precedent that the defendant was then in the occupation of the premises. Intention or desire to occupy is of no avail ; and for the want of this occupation there is no excuse or «quivalent. Even taking the view; of the matter sought to be maintained by the defendant, that it was prevented from occupying the premises on August 14, 1848, by Indian hostil- ities, still the case clearly falls within the ruling in Ford y.

But it is urged that congress has recognized the validity of the defendant's claim to this land by the passage of the act of June 16, 1860, (12 St. 44,) "for the relief of the mission- ary society of the Methodist Episcopal Church," which pro- vided that there should be paid to said society "the sum of $20,000, upon filing in the proper department a release to the United States, to be approved by the attorney general, of all claim to the land embraced within the limits of the mil- itary reservation at The Dalles, in Oregon territory, and of all claim for damages for destruction of property on or near the said land by the United States troops or volunteers or Indians at any time anterior to' the date of said release. " To fully comprehend the motive and scope of the act it is necessary to stato that in 1854 the military reservation at The DalleSj -which had covered & number of square miles, was, by an order of the war department, reduced to 640 acres, to be laid ofif in such a manner as least to interfere with pri- vate rights. In the execution of this order only 353 acres of "the mission station, as surveyed in 1850 by the defendant, including all the improvements thereon, were embraced in the reservation. The society availed itself of this circum- stance, and at once asked for compensation. The matter was referred by the department to Major G. J. Eaines, then the post commander at the Dalles, who reported in favor of pay- ing the society the sum of $20,000. On January 28, 1859, the bouse committee on military affairs also recommended Buch payment, which was to be in fuU satisfaction of the claim for the land, and also one for $4,000 for the destruc- tion of property upon the claim.

Hdd that , so far as thia claim ■was concerned, the alleged invention consists in simply securing the door of a time lock with a key, and in providing such door with an aperture through which the clock could be wound, and that in view of the Rutherford clock, the watchman's time detector, and even the clocks and watehes in common use, the improvement did not involve invention, and could only be regarded as mechanical. 8.

Eeld, that this combination produced a new resuit, and was theref ore patentable. 9. Re-Ibbue — Abandoned Claim. — Leggett v. Avery, 101 U. S. 256.

The public became alarmed, and demanded a remedy for the unexpeeted inefficiency. Sargent answered the demand, and placed upon the door a time look which dogged the boit work, and prohibited mechanical open- ing till a predetermined hour in the morning, and placed aleo, in connection with the same boit work, an independently acting combination lock, so that although the lock was unlocked during the period when the time lock was in opera- tion, the boit work could not be retracted, and during the day, when time locks were not demanded, the key lock securely guarded the safe. This new devioe met the wants of the pub- lic. The triple combination, as it was termed, went largely into use, and its efficiency was tested and demonstrated on the occasion of the attempted burglarly of the banks in Great Bar- rington. The tick of the time lock proclaimed to the burg- lars who had compelled the uulocking of the combination lock that another obstacle must be Burmounted before the door could be opened, and the scheme of robbery was abandoned. Much of the commercial success of the Sargent combination is undoubtedly attributable to the fact that he put into actual use a time lock which was far superior to its predecessors, and which had the confidence of the public. The resuit is that by the use of both time and combination locking mechan- ism upon the same boit work of one door, the expense of an additional door and of boit work is avoided, and both the advantages of time locks and of combination Icpks are had, and the most important disadvantagesof ea,ch are avoided. The presence of the time lock supplies strength to the weak- ness of the combination mechanism, while the use of the com- bination lock removes one of the disadvanta,ges of the time lock. . , The argument is most strongly and skilfully pressed that each of these locks furnishes its own independent resuit; that each bas its own separat© and independent grip upon the boit; that although they produce a combined resuit in<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> qxbjef4cw8gtvxovhj3kh3d07sz6fxu Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/430 104 697612 15135339 14560676 2025-06-14T22:31:39Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: AIi → AL , POBT → PORT, BBPO → REPO, PORTB → PORTE, removed: � (7) 15135339 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>418 , FSSDZSAL REPORTEr.. Wallace, D. J. The complainant moves for an injunction to restrain the defendant from all proceedings to collect a tax assessed against varions stockholders of the complainant by the board of assessors of the city of Albany. The statute under which the assesstaent was made requireg every bank- ing association to retain so much of any dividend or divi- dends, belonging to stockholders, as shall be necessary to pay any taxes assessed in pursuance of the act. The complain- ant's bill alleges that its stockholders have been assessed, that none of them have paid the tax, eni that several of them, owning together about half of the entire capital stock of the bank, have demanded their dividends and directed the complainant not to pay therefrom the taxes assessed, and refuse to allow the coinplainant to retain their dividends for that purpose. The first ground upon which the right to an injunction ia placed by the complainant is that the assessment contravenes section 5219, Eevised Statutes of the United States, which prohibits the taxation of shares in national banks at a greater rate than is assessed upon other moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens of the state. The assessment ■was made under the provisions of chapter 596 of the Laws of New York of 1880, prescribing a system for the taxation of banks and moneyed capital invested in the business of bank- ing. By another act of the same year (chapter 542, Laws 1880) all corporations except banks, life insurance compa- nies, and manufaoturing companies are taxable upon their dividends, when the dividends declared during the year amount to 6 per centum or more; or when there are no dividends, or the dividends are less than 6 per centum, then the tax is to be assessed upon a valuation of their capital stock, made by the comptroller of the state in a mode pre- scribed by the act. Section 8 of this act exempts the cap- ital stock and personal property of these corporations from other assessment or taxation. It is claimed for the complainant that this latter act, respecting the taxation of corporations, subjects them to a moderate taxation, and exempts their stockholders from any<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> daztmp9nqpr123f4kgnnd33o3flkzi9 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/434 104 697617 15135340 14560672 2025-06-14T22:31:40Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDK → FEDE, FEDEK → FEDER, EDERAIi → EDERAL , TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (5) 15135340 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>422 FEDERAL REPORTER. by the aasessors showing the names of all the stockholders of the complainant, (including the one assessed for $5,000,) the number of shares held by each stockholder, and the as- sessable value of his shares. This list was prepared for the use of the assessorj by the officers of the complainant. It further appears that after the five days had expired for the review of assessments the roll was copied into a book, and the names of the shareholders of the complainant were tran- Bcribed from this list and inserted in the first column, with the assessable value of their shares opposite, in the fourth column. During the five days some of the shareholders of the complainant treated the list as an assessment, and had their assessments reduced by deductions on account of debts, etc., and among them was one of the officers of the com- plainant. It is fair to infer, from the facts stated in the defendant's af&davits, that the board of assessors regarded the list thus kept by them as part of the assessment roll, although it was not physically annexed to the roll, and sup- posed it was a substantial compliance with the law, and would afford to the shareholders of the complainant notice of an assessment, and an opportunity for review and correction. It is also fair to infer from the facts exhibited, and in the absence of any allegations to the contrary on the part of the complainant, that the oJB&cers of the complainant and its sev- eral shareholders understood that this list was kept by the assessors, and regarded by them as part of the assessment roll, for the purposes of an assessment against the sharehold- ers. It was not a literal nor a substantial compliance with the statute. Undoubtedly those requirements in statutes regulating assessment and taxation, which are designed to afford tax payers an opportunity for the examination and revision of their assessments, should not be deemed directory merely, but essential, The tax payer is not to be condemned without a hearing, and the precautions prescribed to give him &n effectuai opportunity to be heard should receive strict con- struction in his favor. These are matters which are of the substance of the procedure.

As is ruled in Dows v. City qf Chicago, 1 1 Wall. 108, "there must exist in addition special circum- stances, bringing the case under some recognized head of equity jurisdiction, such as that the enforcement of the tax would lead to a multipllcity of suits or produce irreparable injury," etc., etc. Upon this consideration the stockholders would not be entitled to an injunction. But there is another ground upon which such relief would be refused them. In dealing with the rights of parties to resist taxation, courts of equity proceed upon considerations quite unknown to courts of law, and hold not only that it must appear the tax is one unlawfully imposed, but also one that justice and good con- science do not require the party to pay. An illustration in point is, found in Mitchell y. Com'rs of Leavenworth, 91 U. S. 206, where a complainant had con- verted his cash or deposit into United States notes before the day of listing taxes, in order to escape taxation, and being taxed, notwithstanding, the court held that although the tax was illegal, it would not, while sitting as a court of equity, use its extraordinary powers to assist him in a scheme to escape taxation, and dismissed the bill. In the present case I am unable to doubt that the stockholders understood that the assessors intended to assess their stock,, and had made an ruformal assessment roll for that purpose. The statute required the complainant to deliver a list for the use of the assessors, and required the assessors to assess the share- holders in the ward where the bank was located ; and it is not alleged in the bill or affidavits that a single stookholder was ignorant that he was assessed, or was in any way misled because the assessment was indioated upon a list and not upon the common roll. In short, it is not claimed that any shareholder was actually prejudiced by the failure of the assessors to conform to the strict requirements of the statute. Purthermore, it is stated in defendant's affidavits that the mode adopted by the assessors of keeping a separate list for the assessment of bank shareholders was publicly known,<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> gb4ce9felmxpshgsnxuu8irl3g8eura Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/444 104 697627 15135342 14560668 2025-06-14T22:31:42Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (5) 15135342 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>132 FEDERAL BKPORTER. That this speeies of equality would probably be so attract- ive to persons or companies doing an express business as to arouse their activity in competing for express business to be done on these lines, is not so apparent to my mind, and the ability, experience, and gravity of the very learned and skil- ful counsel appearing for the defendants were not equal to the presentation of that view of the case. It was, therefore, con- tended, as it bas been contended in cases presented to other judges during the past year, (with which the courts and the legal profession have become somewhat familiar,) that the certainty of having dispatch -was a necessary element of the express business; that this eould only be secured by having always a snfficiency of room; that as each express company would want all the business if it could get it, and as one might Bucceed in getting it ail, that to insure always having room, each had to contract for all the room its business on any one day might need, and hence had to contract for room equal to something more than the average daily haul of such matter, and that the express business, and not the railroad company, should bear the burden of the dead hauls neces- sary to secure at all times this ample supply of room. And further, as to these cases, it was urged that the plaintiff, by its bill, showed that it was in possession of the express busi- ness on these lines j that it had an established reputation ; that it had the good will of such business on those routes, with trained messengers and other servants known to the public and trusted by the public along said routes, with all the ap- pliances for doing all of said business as it had done for many years ; and that, this being so, whatever other express com- panies might sufifer by . any supposed inequality in such terms, the plaintiff could not complain ; that if the Pacific Express Company — a Etranger, with no present run of busi- ness, and none of these elements conducive to procuring and transacting such business — could afford to make such a contract, surely the plaintiff could very much better afford it ; that if there was any inequality it would manifestly work most strongly in favor of that express company which already was in possession of the trade.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> d70qfjiz5b0rnvtu6re6ri28jiaj3gl Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/448 104 697631 15135343 14560662 2025-06-14T22:31:43Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PEDEEA → FEDERA, TEB. → TER., EBPO → REPO, OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (8) 15135343 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>436 FEDERAL REPORTER. trains as the proper authorities of the post-office department may require, and for such compensation as may be agreed on between the parties ; or, in case they cannot agree, then at rates fixed by certain commissioners, at not less, -when carried on passenger trains, than the rate for transporting an equal weight of matter on ordinary merchandise trains, with provisions for compensation for car, extra speed, etc. Article 4235. The legislature had full and minute Knowledge of the ex- istence and extent and manner of conducting the express business of the country, and was mindful to impose on every person, firm, or association of persons doing an express busi- ness in this state an annual tax of $750. Article 4665. The legislature, at least equally with the courts, had knowledge that express matter was carried in a particular manner on passenger and other fast trains, and not received, receipted for, or taken charge of by any of the servants of the railroad corporations. The legislature had knowledge also that this business, as to the compensation to the railroads therefor, had ever been and continued to be regniated by special con- traets between the railroad companies and the express com- panies. Express matter is nowhere in any way specially mentioned in the statute. It is not provided that such mat- ter shall be carried on other trains than ordinary marchan- dise trains, It is, perhaps, true that the terms of the statute do neces- sarily include all matter received by the railroads and trans- ported in the care of its servants, without regard to the quality of the matter or the train upon which it is carried. A rail- road Company could not, perhaps, receive a hundred pounds of fresh oysters in the shell at Galveston, and haul the same to Dallas, and (because its servants called it "express freight," and consented to haul it in a baggage car attached to a pas- senger train) charge more than 50 cents per hundred miles for the haul.

Complainant is entitled to reacb the interest secretly reserved by Thomas K. out of the property transferred, but it doea not follow that the con- veyance is void in favor of creditors under the statutes of this state. Section 4716, Compiled Laws of Michigan, declares that the question of fraudulent intent shall be deemed a question of faot and not of law. Section 4717 provides that the statute, declaring every conveyance made with intent to hin- der, delay, or defraud creditors or other persons void, shall not be construed to impair the title of a purchaser for a val- uable consideration, unless it shall appear that he had previous notice of the fraudulent intent of his grantor, etc. The statutes of fraud of Elizabeth have been generally con- strued in substantial harmony with the laat provision, but quite dififerently from the import of the first-mentioned pro- vision, which is not contained in the older statutes of fraud. The federal courts, under the statutes of Elizabeth, hold as a matter of legal presumption that a deed made by a debtor, which, on its face conveys absolutely, but out of which he reserves to himself some interest or benefit, is fraudulent and void; and, as the law makes the presumption, the court must determine, as a matter of legal construction, when the pre- sumption is rebutted. -Hamilton v. Russell, 1 Grandi, 309, 316, Under the Michigan Statute the question whether a con- veyance ie made with intent to defraud creditors is, in the first instance, a question of fact; and if aprimafacie case, or one which raises a presumption of fraud, is made out, the question whether it is rebutted is also a question of fact. This case presents a question of the validity or invalidity of a deed of conveyance governed and controUed by the laws of the state. In a trial at law, the jury, and not the court, would have to deal with the question of fraud. Sitting in equity, the court performa the duties of court and jury.

W. Barrett, secretary, of the board of trustees; Levi D. Boone and Samuel S. Boone, the one as trustee of the mortgage or deed of trust, and the other as the Buccessor of the trustee. As I have said, the bills were filed on the same day, the one in the circuit court- of Cook county, and the other in this court. It seems that the bill in the state court was filed before the bill in this court, although on the same day. No process of either court was served on the day the bill was filed. On the nineteenth of February, the day following, the process of this court was served on ail the defendants, before 11 o'clock a. m. of that day. The process issuing from the state court was not served until after 2 o'clock p. M. of the same day ; so that the process issuing from this court was first served ; and the question is whether this court obtained jurisdiction of the case for the purposes contemplated by the bill, viz. : for the foreclosure of the mort- gage. Although the bill was filed in the state court first, on the same day, the rule, I take it, is well settled that the right of a court to take jurisdiction of a party depends upon the service of process upon the party. If a party commence a Buit, and process is not served, it does not take effect as against the party defendant, howsoever long process may remain in the hands of the officer. The process of thia court being fijst served upon the defendants, the University of Chi- cago, and upon Boone, gave this court jurisdiction and the right to go on and foreclose this mortgage. It is said, and there is some evidence in an afiSdavit tending to establish the faet, that there was a race on the part of the plaintiff, in the case in this court, first to obtain service upon the defendants. It may be, but at the same time this court must look at the facts. It is often a question which bas been most diligent, and courts have to determine rights according to the diligence of a party. And if, in this case, the plaintif bas been more diligent than the plaintiff in the state court, how can this court deprive it of its equity, and the preference to which it may be entitled ?

I admit that it is quite possible that the court may go on in this case and make a decree forever barring the equities of the University of Chicago, and preventing it from ever setting up any claim to this land, and placing this plaintif, so far as the University of Chicago is concerned, in possession; but still there may be a right outside of that, existing in a third party, which would not be interfered with by this decree. I do not desire, if it can be avoided, to issue an injunction in this case, even if I have the right to do so. I have stated these views upon the questions of law involved, and I leave it to the counsel to determine v?hether it sball become neces- sary for the court to take any positive action. I think it may be the right and duty of the court, if it sh all become necessary, to prevent any parties in the state court litigation, who are also parties here, from going on and raising the question whether or not the University of Chicago had the right to execute this mortgage, and whether it is to be estopped by the decree of this court; for these are ques- tions, I think, this court has the exclusive right to determine, — the court having jurisdiction of the parties and of the sub- ject-matter, — and I think the decision of the court would be, as to the University of Chicago, binding in all courts.

"Who was responsible for this long delay ? Hammond's position was, however, readily ascertainable from 1819. The plaintiff might, if she had any rights against him, have pursued them before 1830, and prior to Hammond's death. Because she ■was involved in a legal controversy with others, did the stat- ute as to Hammond ceaae to run, whereby, after the lapse of more than a half century, she can pursue the Hammond estate ? If so, then every person not a party to a suit must be held bound by its outcome, despite the statute of limita- tion ; and thus the statutes of limitation become futile. Eeference bas been made to certain decrees and judgments entered in favor of plaintiff by the United States circuit court in Louisiana. The facts and circumstances under which those decisions were had are unknown to this court. The cases seem tb have been for the reoovery of the possession of realty devised to her under the will of 1813, despite the sale made by Eelf, Chew, and Mary Clark under the will of 1811. So, here, the property belonging to Daniel Clark's estate, sold by Hammond prior to 1819, (he acting as agent for Eelf, Chew, and Mary Clark,) may in law belong to this plaintiff, unless her rights thereto are barred; but she is not seeking to recover said realty, but the amount paid to Hammond for said void transfers. It may be that the statute of limitations would bar any suit against the purchasers from Hammond; but, whether such be the fact or not, it is not seen how she can recover from Hammond's heirs the money judgment claimed by her, and have the same made a charge upon the lands which came to his heirs under the act of 1864. Again, her excuse for not proceeding in this matter at an earlier date, even if the same were valid, is met by the fact that in 1848 she filed a bill in this court wherein it appears that she was fully informed of ail the facts that it is now averred she did not discover until a date long subsequent. In no possible view of the case, as presented by the bill, bas she any right to maintain the same.

After the uling of the bill in the state court, and after all the defend- ants had appeared, a motion for a temporary injunction to restrain the execution of said judgment -was heard by that court, and an injunction allowed to remain in force until a final hearing of the cause. Afterwards the cause was removed to this court. The defendants here move to dissolve the injunction granted by the state court upon grounds which will now be considered. 1. It is said that the bill is not verified according to law and the practice of courts of chancery. It is to be presumed that ail questions relating to the form and sufficieney of the bill, and of the verification thereof, were considered and decided by the state court upon the hearing before that tribunal of the motion for an injunction, and that the affidavit was held to be good and sufficient under the state law. Whether that ruling was correct or not I will not inquire, because this court is not called upon to reView the orders and ruling made by the state court in the progress of the cause before the removal. In the case of Dungan v. Gegan, 101 U. S. 810, the supreme court, by Waite, G. J., laid down the rule upon this subject as follows: "The transfer of the suit from the state court to the circuit court did not vacate what had been done in the state court previous to the removal. The circuit court, when a transfer is effected, takes the case in the con- dition it was when the state court was deprived of its juris- diction. The circuit court bas no more power over what was done before the removal than the state court would have had if the suit had remained there. It takes the case up where the state court left it off." In view of this authority, I am disposed to consider the question of the sufficieney of the verification of the bill as disposed of by the action of the state court.

It seems, then, that the witnesses who testified to the want of authority must baye intend ed to say merely that there was no express authority, There was as much right to take the bonds eut of the safe as there ever was to put them in. To my mind the evidence proves more than a right by Edward to use the bonds. It proves that they were his for ail purposes for whioh he chose to use them. The case, therefore, must be decided upon the amended bill, which alleges th'at, considered as a contraot and dealing with Edward Matthews himself, the defendants have no title. The con- tention from this point of view is that Edward Matthews was induced by the fraud of his brother to consent, as he did consent, in writing, to the assignment of the bond and mort- gage tq Upham, and that Upham had knowledge of the fraud; or that the mortgage was void because it was given to secure notes tainted with usury; or that, being given to secure cer- tain notes, it was of no value when separated from them. It is clear that Upham had lent a great deal of money to Nathan Matthews, and that he held valuable securities for its repay- ment, which he surrendered in exchange for the bond and mortgage of Edward Matthews; and that he had no notice or knowledge of any dealings between the brothers which would injuriously aflfect his title. Upon the preponderance of evidence I find that Edward made the mortgage with knowledge that it was to be used to secure whatever debts Nathan owed Upham ; or that it was so made and aasigned that Upham had, as against Edward, the right to believe so. The alleged fraud does not attack the mortgage itself, but<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> fpoaaptkj9knhc774co53sq5a5vpvjb Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/488 104 697673 15135349 14027895 2025-06-14T22:31:49Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (6) 15135349 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>476 FEDERAL REPORTER. ant not done what, in the consideration of a court of equity, is equivalent to that ? He was under a liability for the bank- rupts, and payment was so made as to relieve him from that liability, and thereby benefit him ; and it is not to be over- looked, — for this is a vital element of the bill, — that this was done in pursuance of a scheme or fraudaient device between the bankrupts and the defendant which enured to the benefit of the latter at the expense of other creditors. Thereby he as effectually secured a preference as if the assets had been paid to him direotly, and he had then personally appropriated them to the payment of the note. In Bartholow v. Beau, 18 Wall. 635, the question was whether a payment by an insolvent, which would otherwise be void as a preference, was not excepted out of the provisions of the law, because it was made to a holder of his note, over- due, on which there was a solvent indorser whose liability was fixed; and it was held that it was not. Justice Miller, in the opinion, says that "the statute in express terms forbids such preference, not only to an ordinary crediter of the bank- rupt, but to any person who is under any liability for him. * * * It is therefore very evident that the statute did not intend to place an indorser or other surety in any better posi- tion in this regard than the principal creditor; and that if the payment in the case before us had been made to the in- dorser, it would have been recoverable by the assignee. If the indorser had paid the note, as he was legally bound to do when it fell due, or at any time afterwards, and then re- ceived the amount of the bankrupt, it eould certainly have been recovered of him; or if the money had been paid to him directly, instead of the holder of the note, it could have been recovered ; or if the money or other property had been placed in his hand to meet the note, or to secure him instead of paying it to the bankers, he would have been liable." This language is plainly expressive of the view that if, in advance of his liability being fixed, an indorser takes the bankrupt's property to meet the note which he bas indorsed, when it shall mature, or to secure himself against loss, he will be liable as accepting a preference. And it would seem that i£<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> fucoy99ddr1aggstwe4rrkl4tr1l3sw Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/492 104 697678 15134604 8174679 2025-06-14T21:52:54Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EBPO → REPO, EPOET → EPORT, REPORTBE → REPORTER, removed: � (8) 15134604 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>480 FEDERAL REPORTER. But without questioning the jurisdiction of the court in a proper case to stay proceedings in a state court -where the assignee is a party, or where his rights as assignee are in any way to be afifected by the litigation, I cannot see that in this case the plaintiff bas any sufficient ground in equity to stand upon. He is not sued. He is in no sense a party to the litigation. The fund he represents is in no danger. His rights as assignee to the property are in no way being menaced or questioned. The little property there was, was voluntarily turned over to the marshal. About one-half the goods, or $200 in value, was set off to the bankrupt by the assignee as exempt under the laws of Wisconsin, and approved by order of the court. The rest of them have been sold by the assignee and turned into money, the avails, about $206, beiug nowin the hands of the assignee, ready to be distributed. Under these circumstances, there would seem to be no suf- ficient reason for setting aside the sale to Bromley, or staying proceedings in the state court. If anything was to be gained by it to the assignee, and so to the creditors generally, then the suit would be proper; then would there be a reason for its existence. Or if the prop- erty was still held by Bromley, and a suit was necessary to recover it, there would then exist a good reason for bringing the suit to set the sale aside and recover the property. So if the assignee were sued in the state court for taking the property. But aside from some sueh motive of benefit or interest to the assignee, as the representative of ail the cred- itors, it is difficult to see what ground the assignee has to stand upon to maintain a suit to set aside a sale held valid under the state law, and to stay litigation between two cred- itors of /the bankrupt. The suits which the assignee can maintain should be for the benefit of the creditors generally, and not in the interest of a particular crediter only. The assignee may safely look on and see litigation go on between certain creditors, so long as he is in no way a party to it, and cannot be bound or in any way aiiected by the results of such litigation, It is time enough for him to<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> kyglpila6owd25vsavow7nw5pvt6mb0 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/498 104 697685 15135350 8174686 2025-06-14T22:31:50Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (7) 15135350 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>486 FEDBfiAL BSPORTER. tion, literally interpreted, of any horizontal rotatipg geed- wheel in the hopper, and valve in the seed-tube, a transverse reciprocating bar, and operating hand-lever. Such a combi- nation is open to more than verbal criticism. When, how- ever, the reeognized rules of interpretation in such cases are brought to bear, -we find that this claim differa from the others only in making the rotatory wheel operate the seed-valve. Said valve had previously been operated in connection with the oscillatory wheel, bar, and lever. Hence, the introduc- tion of the intermittent rotatory wheel, the forka on the transverse bar, and the checks or stops at certain points, enabled the three combinations to be effective in their re- spective operations, separately considered. Each of those claims is therefore held to be valid. As to the infringement, much might be said if the court had at its command the appliances whereby, through models and drawings, it could make its views olearly appear as to details of mechanical con- trivances. In the absence of such aid it would be uselesa to attempt a detailed description thereof. It must Buffice to Btate that the defendants infringe each of the plaintiff's claims, limiting them to the use, in combination, of the der vices specified. The combinations are the same, and the devices used are the same, with merely colorable change as to form. The forks, seed-wheels, and checks exist in the patent and in defendants' machines in combination, substantially as set forth in plaintiff's patent.

The back of one check adjoins one face of the succeeding stub leaf, and the other face of that stub leaf adjoins the front face of the succeeding check, and the back of the next check adjoins one face of the stub leaf succeeding it, and so on. The checks not torn out, and the stub leaves, are thus always in position to be written on, inside of the dimensions of the book, without any movement at all of any check leaf, and without any movement of any stub leaf in any direction, except to the left or right, towards or from the place of binding, like turning the leaves of any ordinary bound book, FoUowing the description in the plaintiii's re,-issued specification, the defendant's book is oonvenient to carry in the pocket, and is provided with suitable stubs having sufficient surface to ena- ble the user to keep the record of his checks drawn, and of bis deposits.

It provides stubs of the size and form used in ordinary office check-books, each place on a stub leaf for recording the particulars of a check being of about the usual size in an ordinary check-book.

The stub leaves extend to the right from the bound back the whole length of the checks, there being one stub leaf between every two checks and the next succeeding two checks, and two checks between every stub piece and the next succeeding stub piece. The two places on a stub leaf for recording the particulars of checks are on one piece of paper. The checks and stub leaves are completely protected by the cover; and the book is about the length and breadth of an ordinary check, and remains of uniform shape as the checks are removed.

The lattef telegraphed the former, during the negotiation, close "Eassian bark ' Hero, ' now at Cartagena, six shillings and three pence, Cork or- ders, UBual charter," and received for reply, "We eapnot get that rate, but can get six shillings, with privilege of conti- nent." August 27th, they wrote to Hoffman & Meyer "We authorize you to close the vessel and expect charter-party in the morning." After receiving the paper and resolving to alter it, they telegraphed, Hoffman & Meyer, "We must insert in 'Hero's' charter, vessel to sail in about fortnight. Please see Wrights at once." On forwarding the paper to Hoffman & Meyer, with the alteration, they expressed the hope that the latter wonld be able to obtain Wright's assent to the change. Hoffman & Meyer, in communicating the f act that Wright's signature had been obtained, eongratulated them- selves and Funch, Edye & Co. on their success in the trans- action, saying, "We have been very lucky to get this vessel through and charter sigued." These communications, of themselves, would seem to leave no room for doubt that Hoffman & Meyer were acting in behalf of the vessel, alone, and that Funoh, Edye & Go., as well as themselveSj so understood. The only evidence to 'the contrary is that found in the testimony of Mr. Volokens, of the firm of Punch, Edye & Co., who says they did not place the vessel with Hoffman & Meyer for charter, but that the latter gentlemen, as agents for Peter Wright & Sons, applied to them to take freight, and that they simply closed with the offers made by Peter Wright & Sons, through such agents. The 'testimony of this -witness (who, no doubt, intends to be entirely'fair), shows, in my judgment, a strong bias in favor of the libellant. He seems to be especially on his guard, throughout, agaiust any form of expression or answer,tend- ing to show concert between his fiim and Hoffman & Meyer, repeating with unnecessary frequency the idea that Funch, Edye & Co. simply accepted the offer of Hoffman & Meyer as representatives of Peter Wright & Sons.

It is much to be regretted that Funch, Edye & Co. did not immediately communicate Peter Wright & Sons' repudiation of the paper, to the libellant, on receiving notice of the fact. The ship had not then sailed, and no serions loss would have resulted, had this been done. The position they assumed, — that th,eir agency closed with the signing of the charter, — rests on a very contracted view of their duty,— the adoption of which they may yet, possibly, have occasion, to regret.

Wheat in bulk is one of tha most dangerous kinds of cargo a vessel oan oarry, owing to its lia- bility to shift in heavy weather, and to choke the pumps. The VeSta was built of soft Norway pine. The voyage waa to be in the months when storms are the most frequent and severe. She was rejected by the underwriters as an unsafe risk, and on this account was useless to the charterer for the purpose for which she was chartered. In the export grain business wheat is usually sold to arrive. Bills are drawn against the cargo upon the consignees abroad, payable in London, to which are attached the bill of lading, the certia- cate of loading, and the insurance certificate. Upon this security advances are obtained upon the cargo. Without the insurance certificate the bills would be of no value for thia purpose, and the exporter would be deprived of his advance, which is &ne of the necessities of the buaimess. The charterer would certainly have acted more wisely if he had insisted upon a stipulation in the contraot that the vessel should be a good sea risk for the merchiandise speciued as cargo. But the impressive fact remains that no insurance eompany could. be found, after reasonable search, that was willing to assume- the risk of this voyage under the circumstances stated. To- require the charterer to load such a vessel would be a hard- ship which these parties could not have contemplated when this charter-party was signed. It should be noticed that neither of the parties had ever seen this vessel, or knew any- thing of her condition, until she arrived in Boston. The libellant insists that the efforts of the respondent to- obtaiu insurance were not sincere, and his purpose was to escape from his contraot on account of the fall in freights which took place after the charter-party was signed. This, however, is not proved, The wheat market was also falling, and it was for the interest of the respondent to get his wheat to market as soon as possible. I am quite satisfied he made ail reasonable effort to get insurance.

The master knew he was about to enter a dock where his ves- sei coula not float at ail conditions of the tide, and he was at fault in attempting to enter such a dock after the tide had fallen. The respondents wereaiso at fault. The respond- ent who was present should have cautioned the schooner to stop befbre she reached the point of danger. For this fail- ure oi duty the respondents sbould be held responsible. The preponderance of the eyidence shows the injury to have been caused by the grounding at this point, and the efforts made to move her. As the negligence of both the parties coh-tributed to this resuit, I pronounce for the libel- lants for one-half the damages. I do not find that the build of the schooner, being'a single-deck, center-board vessel, with great breadth of beam as compared with her draught, rendered her unsuitable to carry a cargo of ooal. Nor was it negligence in the master not to enter the dock until the day after her arrivai. Stress was laid on both these, circum- stances by the respondents, but I deem them immaterial. In repairing the schooner after the accident a second deck was built on her. The libellants claimed this was made nec- essary by the injuries resulting from the accident. But it was shown she was originally constructed with a view of having a second deck added at some future time. I am of opinion this deck was put on in pursuance of the original plan, and was not made necessary by the injuries received in the dock. In the assessment of damages the expense of the new deck is not tO be included.

This priee was net necessarily the same as the market value of the fish, but was what the owners thought tbey could afford to pay. In 1872 or 1873 the use of steam- ers commenced, and, in the absence of a special contract, the custom was that the owners were to receive one-half and the crew were to receive one-half of the price for which the fisii were sold. The steamers were much more expensive than sailing vessels, and required an expensive outfit of coal. The owners found that if this rule of payment was literally obeyed the business would be a losing one, The factory owners, who also owned steam-vessels, continued to establish a price at which they settled with their crews, and after 1876, at the beginning of the season, both nominal and real priees were also established, at which the factories bought of the owners of steamers who were not interested in the factories. The nom- inal and lesser priee waa the pretended price of the fish, at which settlements were made with the crews, The real pries included an addition of bonus for the captain and of a bonus for the owners. Thus, if the real price was 40 cents per bar- rel, the nominal price would be 25 cents, with a bonus of five cents to the captain, and of 10 cents to the owners, and the owners settled with the crew by the payment of 12 J cents per barrel. This practice has been common since 1876. This subterfuge is the cause of much of the confusion of testimony in this case. The custom of the business required that the crews of steam-vessels should receive half the actual price of the fish. The fact is, they have been receiving half of the fic- titious price of the fish. As the case of the libellants does not relate to the western fleet. I express no opinion upon the propriety or unreasonableness of this attempted alteration of the established custom, except to say that this plan of nomi- nal and real priees tends to create misunderstanding, dissat- isfaction, and litigation. 3.

In Lampman v. Milks, it was held, when the owner of land across which flows a stream diverts the course of the latter, so as to relieve a portion of the tract from overflow, which he then sells, that neither he nor his grantees of the residue of the property can return the stream to its former bed to the damage of the first grantee. And in Coolidge v. Hapar, supra, it was held that the conveyance of a houee and land by an ordinary warranty deed carried with it, by impli- cation, the right which the grantor then had to water con- veyed to the premises by means of an aqueduct from a dis- tant spring. This doctrine has been very strongly applied in the case of the grant of a mill messuage, or house, eo nomine. In the former case it has been decided that the grant will carry with it a parcel of land adjoining the mill, and used in connection with it, as well as that upon which it stands ; and also the right to the water from a particular creek owned by the grantor, and then used to run the mill. In Whitney v. Olney, supra, it was held that land adjacent to and commonly used with a "mill," although not techni- cally appurtenant thereto, passed by a devise thereof, upon the ground that its use made it "parcel of the mill," and therefore it was presumed that it was intended to be compre- bended within the term "mill," and devised by it.

By virtue of these ordinances and acts of the legislature the companies have the right to run their cars for the transit of passengers through the city. It eannot be said, therefore, that the effect of the ordinance which bas been specially referred to, although it is called a license, would be to give the companies the privilege of running their cars. That they have by virtue of the ordinance and the acts of the legislature. There can be no doubt that the legislature would have the right, under the con- stitution of 1848, which was in force when the franchise was granted,to tax the corporations fot the use of their franchise; that is, a tax which is entirely independent of the value of the cars, tracks, and other tangible property of the corpora- tipnp, a,nd so treated by the constitutions of 1848 and 1870. But there are many difficult^es with this branch of the sub- ject. There are certain poi|.ditipns required by the constitu- tutioB of 1870 as prerequisite» tot. the imposition of a taX of this kind, cven conceding that the legislature bas authorized the city to impose the tax, and I therefore, without giving» any decided opinion upon that part of the case, prefer to place my decision upon another ground, and to sustain the ordinance as a regulation of the police power of the city, This is always a subsisting power, which, it is generally held, ca.nnot be transferred by the city, but is inherent in its munic- ipal organization. There can be no controversy about the power of the city over many things connected with the opera- tion of the city railway. Admitting that because of the price of fare agreed upon there can be no change in that, yet, by virtue of its police power, the city can, to a great extent, regulate the running of the cars, presoribe rules and laws as to spoed, stoppage, and other things connected with the operation of the railway. This bas not been questioned by the counsel of the plaintifE; but it is claimed this eannot be considered a police regulation, because it is manifestly the exercise of the taxing power of the city.

In the case of Frankfdrt d PJiiladelphia Passenger Co. v. City of PhUadelphia, 68 Pa. St. 119, where the license fee was the aame, and Johnson v. Philadelphia, 60 Pa. St. 445, the supreme court of Pennsylvania took a different view of such an ordinance, and treated it as a police regulation merely ; and such seems to be the view of the supreme court of this state in the case of the Chicago Packing e Provision Co. v. City of Chicago, 88 111. 221. In the case of Frankfort d Philadelphia Passenger Co. v. City of Philadelphia, the city pbtained its power to impose the license from a statute substantially similar to that under which the city of Chicago claims the power in this case. In that case the act of the legislature declared that the city couneil of Philadelphia should have authority to provide for the proper regulation of omnibuses, or vehicles in the nature thereof, and to this end "it shall be lawful for the couneil to provide for the issuing of licenses to such and so many per- sons as may apply to keep and use omnibuses, or vehicles in the nature thereof, and to charge a reascnable annual or other sum therefor." In that statute the words "vehicles in the nature thereof," in this the words "pursuing a like occu* pation," are used. I cannot see that there is auy cubstantial distinction in that respect between the two statutes. In the case of 88 Illinois, already referred to, the corpora- tion was organized and doing business under the laws of this state. A question arose in that case as to the power of the city to issue a license. It was denied in the argument of the case that the power existed, but the supreme court held that, under the power "to regulate the management" of the busi- ness, the city had the right to issue a license and to prescribe the compensation. That was also under the same law — the act of 1872 — whiob conferred power upon cities to grant licenses and regula,te omnibus drivers, and ail others pur- suing a like occupation, and to prescribe their compensation. The supreme court of this state decides in that case that the power to require a license is one of the means of regulating the exercise of a pursuit or business ; that there are other means that might be adopted to accomplish the purpose, but<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 289ndfd66g8bu3tuzp2ysx0rp5je78m Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/582 104 697779 15135366 14627084 2025-06-14T22:32:05Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDBB → FEDER, DERAli → DERAL , EBPO → REPO, POBT → PORT, PORTB → PORTE, removed: � (8) 15135366 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>570 FEDERAL REPORTER. ant that the pledgors were plaintiffs' faotors, and that said chattels were the property of the plaintiffs, and that the plaintiffs demanded of the defendaut the delivery to them of said property, which was refused. These averDiients are fol» lowed with the fonnal charge of conversion. The answer states that the plaintiffs were indebted to their factors for charges and advances on the specifie chattels^ witfaout istating the amoant thereof; that said chattels had been deposited in a warehouse, and a warehouse receipt therefor given to the factors; that said factors pledged to th& defendant said chattels and warehouse receipt in order to raise means to pay said charges and advances ; and that th& defendant, "on the faith of said goods and chattels and ware- house receipt, duly indorsed by the factors, loaned to said fac- tors $10,557.87, which sum is still due and unpaid." Th& answer does not aver that said sum loaned was the amount of advances, etc. ■• The second defence is that the defendant did not know, etc., that, as to said chattels, the plaintiffs were owners- or consignors thereof, and that the pledgors were factors merely; but, on the contrary, that said alleged factors, hav- ing the warehouse receipt, and the defendant believing said factors to be the owners, the defendant did, "on* the faith of said receipts," etc., loan said sum of money to said factors, whereupon said chattels were transferred to the defendant, and said warehouse receipt indorsed and delivered. The demurrer is to the first and second specifie defences, as stated, The Jirst is designed to raise the question whether a factor cannot, under the Missouri Statutes, assign a ware- house receipt, and pledge the chattels to raise money for advances and charges to an indefinite amount, even if the pledgee knows the factor's relation to the property. If not so, the amount of said advances and charges ought to have been stated, so that it would appear whether the pledge was for a larger sum than the factor's lien. Is it intended to assert that if advances and charges exist, or are about to be created, the factor m ay pledge ^e?iem%, even when the pledgee knows the precise relation of the factors to the property?<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 0q452700udhvqmf1v3thj3gfbbehbsb Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/588 104 697785 15135367 14289906 2025-06-14T22:32:06Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: isb → ish , FEDBB → FEDER, EDERAIi → EDERAL , TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (7) 15135367 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>576 FEDERAL BSPORTER. and we now hold that he can pledge them no further. If, then, such be his legal rlght, a sait cannot be maintaiued on any recognized principle, either against the factor or his pledgee, for the conversion of said goodsj uniess, after tender and demand, a refusai is made. Prior to the Missouri Statutes, the United States supreme court deciared, in Warner v. Martin, gupra, that whilst a factor could not pledge for a debt of his owa, and if so pledged the consignor could recover in trover against the pledgee without tender either to the pledgee or factor what might be due to either of them, because the pledge was tortious; still a factor -who had a lien on the goods could deliver them to a third person as security to the estent of his lien, in which case a tender of the amount of the lien due the factor must be made before reoovery could be bad. The opinion of the United States supreme court in that case throws much light on tbis controversy ; for, if the contention is that under the Missouri Statutes a factor may pledge his prineipars goods on the faith of a warehouse receipt, irre- spective of the amount of his advances and charges, — that is, for any amount he can borrow on the faith of a warehouse receipt, — it becomes important to ascertain if sucb a doctrine, subversive of the ordinary rights of principal and agent, or consignor and consignee, bas any sanction either in statute or otherwise. In Warner v. Martin, supra, a similar view seems to have been urged, and reliance was had on the act of Geo. IV., c. 94, (1825,) the English factor's act. The United States supreme' court, having before it botb the English and the New York acts, said: "The third section of that (the New York) act provides for those cases where the ownership by the factor of goods tyhich he contraots to sell shall be said to exist, to give protection to purchasers against any claim of the factor's principal. [Tbis is a contract of sale.] It ia wben he contracta for any money advanced, or for any ne- gotiable instrument or other obligations in writing given for merchandise upon the faith that the factor is the owner of it.

The exemption from arrest in a district in which the defendant was not an ihhabitant, or in which he was not found at the time of serving the process, was the privilege of the defendant, which he might waive by a voluntary appear- auce ; that if process was returned by the marshal as served upon him within the district it was sufficient ; and that where the defendant voluntarily appeared in the court below, with- Ottt taking the exception, it was an admission of the service» and a waiver of any further inquiry into the matter," In Ex parte Schollenber^er, 96 U.

If the citizenship of the parties is sufficient, a defendant may consent to be sued anywhere he pleases, and certainly jurisdiction wiil not be ousted because he has con- sented." These authorities show very clearly, I think, that the de- fendants might waive the right to have this suit brought in the eastern district, and that by entering its general appear- ance in the cause, and its several applications for further time in which to answer, I hold that it has waived its right, in this case, to except to the jurisdiction of the court; the motion will, therefore, be overruled.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> efxhky8610478h29f6r0eyssd5o30s8 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/622 104 697826 15135372 8174823 2025-06-14T22:32:11Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: whieh → which, FBD → FED, FEDK → FEDE, DEEAL → DERAL, POBT → PORT, BBPO → REPO, PORTB → PORTE, removed: � (6) 15135372 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>610 FEDERAL REPORTER. cuit from the maiarinagnet tc the locking magnet and sec- ondary signal, the arrangement of the primary and secondary signais with reference to each other, and spme other minor points. This application waa completed about the twentieth pf December, and immediately upon its completion I took it to Washington myself and filed it on; the twenty-first of Decem- ber, 1872." ' , ■ On or about February 10, 1873, Pope had a conversatioii with Mr. A. G. Davis, superintendent of telegraphs on the Baltimore & Ohk) Railroad, in regard, to the introduction of a. signal System on that road». and told Davis that he had de- vised a plan by which the requisite number of signais on eight or ten mile? pf road cpuld be worked from pne battery, and that he -was willijgig to undertake to 4o this at any time. In March a single signal was put up on the road, but it is evident that this signal was npt put up as a sample of the one-battery System. Sometime between February lOth and April Istj Pope had one oj more conversations with Edwin D. McCracken in regard to the System ; but, giving to these inter- views the weight whioh they have in Pope's mind, the con- versations were simply an ; assertion of what he could do by this proposed plan. The only thing thereafter done was to make out the application. Mr., Pope says : "As the varions parts of the combination, circuit closers, signais, signal ma- chinery, etc., had already been thoroughly tested in practice, and almost continually, fox over a year, it did not seem to me necessary to test the new combination in aetual service be- fore making an application for a> patent, as it was a very easy matter for any competent electrioian to calculate from existing data the amouht of battery power, the size of con- ductors, and the proportionate electrioal resistance of the different parts, so as to insure the satisfactory operation of the System in practice. After completing and filing an ap- plication for a patent on an improved track connection which had been invented by Mr. Hendrickson, and which was sent to Washington and filed on the twenty-fifth day of April, 1873, I prepared the . application for the patent, which was issued July 1, 1873, as No. Ie0,536, and is Exhibit A.

The claim of the original patent was as follows: "A col- lar, A, having sectional bands, B, starting from the center of the collar, or any point between the center and ends thereof, and continuing with a graduated curve to and beyond the ends of the same, substantially as described and shown, and for the purpose set for th."

Bu£5cient to support such claim. In one sense such patenl is operative and is not inoperative. Yet it is inoperative to extend to or claim the real invention, and the description may be defective or insufficient to support a claim to the real inven- tion, although the drawings and model show the things in respect to which the def ect or insufBciency of description exists, and show enough to warrant a new claim to the real inven- tion. It can never be held, as it never has been held, in a case where the point arose for decision, that a patent cannot be re-issued where a suit could be sustained on the specification and claim as they are. The word "specification" wasused in section 13 of the pat- ent act of July 4, 1836, (6 St. at Large, 122,) in a differ- ent sense from that in which it is used in section 53 of the act of July 8, 1870, (16 St. at Large, 205,) and in sec- tion 4916 of the Revised Statutes, taken from section 53. The provision of section 13 of the act of 1836 was that a pat- ent might be re-issued when it was "inoperative or invalid by reason of a defective or insufficient description or specifioa^ tien," and the new patent was to be issued with a corrected "description ant^ specification." This language was based on that of section 6 of the act of 1836, which required the inventor to give in writing a description of his invention, and of the manner of making and using it, and also to "particu- larly specify and point out" what he claimed as his inven-! tion. Under this language the "specification" was the claim, and the rest was the description. This distinction was kept up in section 13 of the act of 1836. But in section 26 of the act of 1870 the word "specify" is omitted, and the words "specification and claim" are used, applying the word "spec- ification," in that connection, to the description alone. Thia state of things continues in section 4888 of the Eevised Stat- utes. Then, as before pointed out, the word "description" is omitted in section 53 of the act of 1870 and in section 4916 of the Eevised Statutes, and the word "specification" alone is preserved, meaning, when used without the word "claim," the description and the claim.

Wells. These cases are commented on in Herring v. Nelson, 14 Blatchf. 293, and in Christman v. Ilumsey, 17 Blatchf. 148. In Russell v. Dodge, 93 U. S. 460, the original specifica- tion, as appears from Klein v. Russell, 19 Wall. 433, made it essential that the fat liquor should be heated to or near the boiling point, and then compounded with the other substances named, and then applied to the skins. The description to that effect was clear. The claim claimed "the process sub- stantially as herein described of treating bark-tanned lamb or sheep-skin by means of a compound composed and applied essentially as specified." The specification of the re-issue stated that it was desirable to beat the fat liquor to or near the boiling point, and that it was preferred to use the same iri connection with other ingredients, which other ingredients were named. The mode of application was set forth, and was to be by applying either the ,fat liquor or the compound to the ^kin. , ,The claims of the re-issue were these: "(1) The em- ployment of fat liquor in the treatment of leather, substan- tially as, specified. (2) The process, substantially as herein described, of treating bark-tanned lamb or sheep-skin by means of a compound composed and applied essentially as specified." In Russell v. Dodge tke court held that the re-issue was (1) for the use of fat liquor in any condi- tion, hot or cold, in the treatment of leather, and (2) for a process of treating the skin by means of a compound in which fat liquor is the principal ingredient; that thus the re-issue covered the use of the fat liquor, hot or cold, and when used alone or in a compound with other ingredients; that the le-issue omitted important particulars, so as to enlarge the scope of the invention ; and that the change made, by elim- inating the neoessity of using the fat liquor in a heated con- dition, and by making its use in that condition a mere matter of convenience, enlarged the character and scope of the in- vention, and made the re-issue a patent for a different inven- tion.

The .bands are described in both as extend- ing from the center of the collar, or from some point between tBe center and the ends, each way to and beyond the ends. In the original the ba,nds are called "sectional bands" and "short or sectional bands." In the re-issue they are called "curved and graduated bands," and "graduated bands," and "shorter graduated bands." But in the original the bands are described as continuing, after they start, "with a gradu- ated curve to and beyond the ends of the collar," and "with a graduated curve and increasing width to and beyond the ends of the collar. " The drawings in the original and the re-issue are identical. The drawings show the rear button- hole as thrown into the top or body of the collar above the band, but the specification of the original omitted any de- scription of such location of the button-hole. The original specification states that "the use of the short or sectional bands produces a saving of material as compared to the old style of continuons band." The description in the re-issue states that "the shorter graduated bands produce also a con- siderable saving of material as compared to the old style of continuons band that extends at uniform width along the lower part of the collar." Tbis was a proper correction, as it is evident that the expression "continuons band" in the original, in that connection, meant a continuons band of uni- form width, because the original provided for a continuous band of decreasing width from the ends towards the middle, each way. The band would be continuous, if the two sec- tional bands started from the center, but would not be of uni- form width, because the parts proceed with a graduated curve and increasing width. A division at the center into two sec- tional bands would not make the whole band any less a con- tinuous band with ,a graduated curve and increasing width towards each end, nor would the use of a continuous band of the latter description make the parts of it each side of the center anj the less sectional bands.

The defendants claim to have sbown that collars with a graduated band, being a continuons band, narrow in the con- ter, and having the baek button-hole in the body of the col- lar, and in substance like the defendants' collars, F, G, H, and I, existed before Wilson's invention. Mr. Coon, one of the defendants, testifies that in December, 1876, or January, 1877, which was before Wilson's invention, he saw at J. S. Lowery & Co.'s., in the city of New York, a collar like the defendants' collar, H, with the button-hole in the body of the collar, above the band. Neither the collar he so saw, nor any collar that was at Lowery & Co.'s at that date, is produced. He is asked whether the band was narrowest in the center, and he replies, "I should tbink it was." On eross-examina- tion, he states that he had known Lowery & Co. for 15 years or more, and been in the habit of selling to them; that he saw there only a few samples of the collar referred to ; that he bought none and took none away; that that was the first time he had seen any of such collars; and that he was not impressed with them at ail, and did not pay much attention to them, and did not think it worth while to make any like them. The success of the Wilson collar, and the fact that the defendants made none of their infringing collars till af ter they had seen the Wilson collar, and the fact that the Wilson collar supplied a want in the mechanical construction of a collar which , had been felt, and that many arrangements, more or less successful, had been devised to try and attain the resuit attained by the Wilson collar, go very far to show that no collar known to the. trade prier to the Wilson collar could have been substantially the Wilson collar, or it would at once have been taken up and have met with the same suc- cess which attended the Wilson collar. On this view, and on the evidence of Mr. Coon, taken as a whole, about this Low- ery collar, it cannot be held to have been shown satisfacto- rily that the defendants' collars existed in that collar before Wilson's invention.

In Admiralty. Libel in rem. H. G. Ward, for libellants. Henry B. Edmunds, for respondents. Nixon, D. J. The libellants in this case were the owners of a cargo of iron pipes, shipped on board of the schooner May & Eva, at MOI ville, New Jersey, on the fourteenth day of October, 1879, for which the master signed two bills of lading in precisely similar terms or import ; one for 31 tons, to be delivered in the city of New York, and the other for 68 tons, to be delivered at the United States military academy at West Point, in the state of New York. These bills of lad- ing, signed by the tnaster, stato that the said cargo Was to be carried in and upon the said schooner. In the course of the voyage the vessel encounteted very tempestuous weather, which endangered the safety of herself and cargo, and the master threw overboard from the deck load 28 of the irou pipes, valued at $228.37. The libel is tiled by the owners of the cargo thus jettisoned against the vessel, her freight, and remaining cargo, for a gen- erai average contribution for the loss thus sustained for the common benefit, and claims for the owners such amounts of money respectively as their values bear in proportion to the value of the cargo sacrifioed, and avers that upon a proper adjustment of the general average the sum due from the ves- sel is $177.29, and for the freights ^3.75.

Knevals claims under the railroad company, and Hyde under Cropsey, and the first question arising in the case was whether the grant to the company took effect when the map was filed with the secretary of the interior, or when it was received by the local officers. The grant contained the con- dition that the road should be built to a junction with the Union Pacifie Eailroad, or one of its branches, within ten years, The road was built to a junction with the Burlington i & Missouri Eiver Eailroad in Nebraska within the time lim- ited, but not to the Union Pacific, and it was objeaied by the defendant that the Burlington was not a branch of the Union Pacific, and therefore that the condition had been broken and the lands forfeited. It was also objected that Cropsey was a bonafide purchaser -cTithout notice of-the location of the rail- road, and therefore was entitled to protection against its claims. J. M.

LowELL, C. Ji Those three actions of trespass and false imprisonment were submitted to the court without a jury. In July, 1876, the defendant StWe brought an action of tro- vei against the plaintiff Barnes in the Bupreme court of Ehode Island, and caused him to be arrested on mesne pro- cess. The plaintiff gave bail. After several trials a verdict ■was rendered for Steere for a large amount, and judgment was entered for him, upon which execution was issued and returned no» est. On the third of December, 1878, Barnes waa surrendered by his baiUto the defendant Viall, the jailor of the Providence county jail,andtwodays afterwards Barnes caused a tort citation to be issued to Steere, under chapter 216 of the General Statutes of Ehode Island, requiring him to pay the board of Barnes within ten days, which he did.* Ou the second of January, 1879, Barnes not having been committed on execution in pursuance of section 5, c. 218, of said stat- utes, required the defendant Viall to discharge him, but agreed to stay until the next morning. Viall, in the mean- time, consulted counsel, and saw the clerk of the court. On the morning of January 3d the prisoner was discharged by an entry on the jail-book, giving the isause, and thereupon left the office i but was presently after arrested .by a deputy sher- ♦Qeitebai:, Btatuibs of Rhode Island, c. 216.

This is 80 in Bome cases, evenwhere the judge has not jurisdiction, if he decides that he has it. If, however, the facts are falsely and maliciously stated to the judge, the person guilty of the malice is liable in an action on the case. But if the act is throoghout the act of the party, and there is no actual judicial finding, trespass will lie for the injury whether it was commit- ted with or without malice. The only diiierence is in the damages. In this country, and especiaUy in New England, the writ of execution is not gtanted by a judge, but issues as matter of course from the clerk's office ; and there are many decisions that a justice or clerk -who issues such a writ does it ministerially, and not judicially, and therefore is responsi- ble in damages if On¥ is issued oontrary to law upon the facts ■within his knowledge. See Briggs v. WardweU, 10 Mass. 356; Fisher v. Deans, lOT Mass. 118; Andrews v. Marris, 1 Q. B. 3; Carratt y: Morley, Id. 18; Lewis v. Palmer, 6 Wend. 36T. In this case there was nothing upon the records of the supreme court to instruct the clerk that the plaintiff had been imprisoned for more than thirty days, and therefore he was not wrong in issuing the execution in the form usual in such cases. The authorities are likewise many which hold that when a plaintiff, through his attorney, procures an execution or other writ which issues as of course, and which he has no iight to have, both the plaintiflf and the attorney are liable in trespass : the plaintiff, because the attorney acts for him in the due course of his employment ; and the attorney, be- cause in tort the oommand of a superior is no def ence.

"But," say the court, "when either party demurs to the evidence his demurrer must be ruled upon according to the practice in this state, in view of ail the evidence which bas been given in the cause at the time the demurrer was filed." Other Indiana cases were cited in support of the demurrer, but they need not be reviewed, as I think the law is correctly stated in Fowle v. Common Council of Alexandria. In the case in hand, the plaintiff had no right to assume that she had sustained the affirmation of the issue and de- murrer to the defendant's evidence. There was no joinder in the demurrer, which was neces- sary, and the proper admissions were not made in the de- murrer, or upon the record, upon which the court could found a judgment. A new trial is the only solution of the embar- rassment. United States v. Davis. [District Court, D. Massachusetts. 1881.) Indictment — Rbv. St. § 5023.

The allegation that Jordan Mott's'interest in the lands was worth $500,000 is not and cannot, consistently with other averments of the petition, be construed as an alle- gation that the iaterest of the assignee was of greater value than the priee paid. It is claimed, however, that on the facts alleged in the petition the order of the court under which the sale was made was void on several grounds, and also that the sale was not made in conformity with the order, if that was valid. The first objection to the order is that the court in the order of sale did not appoint the time of sale. The ninth section of the bankrupt act provided that ail sales should be "at such times and in such manner as should be ordered and appointed by the court in bankruptcy," It is argued that congress intended that the court should fix the day and hour at which the sale should take place. Such has not been the practical construction put upon the statute by the court, and in the many orders of sale made under that law none are referred to in which the day and hour of the sale were fixed by the court. The making of an order directing the assignee to sell, is ordering the time of sale within the meaning of the statute. The order amounts to a direction that the sale should be made at once, with reasonable diligence, and this is a practical and sufficient complianee with the statute. The further objection — that the assignee, by adjourning the sale from the time first fixed, appointed the time of the sale, instead of the court, as required by the statute — is answered by the same suggestions. It is suggested, indeed, in the argument, that there is no sufficient evidence that the sale was regularly adjourned to the eleventh of September, when it was actually made. It does, however, appear that such an adjournment was advertised in the newspaperas havingbeen made by the assignee. This, together with the general pre- sumption that a public officer does his duty, is, I think, suf -<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> lvx4ajtiv6y0p4mf064d8g0fqs29tr3 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/704 104 697981 15135384 8174902 2025-06-14T22:32:23Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EBPO → REPO, EPOET → EPORT, PORTB → PORTE, removed: � (6) 15135384 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>692 FEDERAL REPORTER. the order and direction of the court, a general rule (62) was inade, under which the assignee might aet, without applying to the court in the particular case to designate the newspa- pers in which he should advertise ; but this general rule was not designed to restrict the court from making a special order as to the manner of sale, which the court was, by the ninth section, expressly authorized to do. This is made entirely clear by rule 61, which must be read in connection with rule 62, and which provided that "the sale of the bankrupt's estate shall be at public auction, and for cash, unless, on the report of the assignee, or with his assent, it is otherwise specially ordered by the court." Eule 62, which immediately follows, was designed to carry this into effect, and relates only to auction sales without special order, the court thus directing, under section 9 of the act, that the assignee might in* ail cases sell at once or at any time at public auction, upon giving the notice prescribed in that rule. As to rule 70, it bas no direct application to sales under special orders of the court, for they are not "proceed- ings in bankruptcy required to be published in newspapers," either by the statute itaelf or by any other rule. Thefe is, therefore, no force in this objection, and the order being in conformity with the ninth section of the act, and not in viola- tion of any rule of the court, was entirely regular in this respect. ' It is not intended, by putting the decision on the ground that the order of sale and the sale were not in the par- ticulars complained of irregular, to intimate, or to give any support to the claim of the petitioners, that a judicial sale to a honafide purchaser, consummated by a conveyance and the payment of the consideration, can be avoided because of such error of the court, if there had been errors, the court or the assignee having jurisdiction to order the sale. The general rule undoubtedly is, as to honafide purchaser s at judicial sales, that the only questions open are power in the court and good faith in the purchaser. Voorhees v. U. S.

Hill, Esq., to permit me to examine the bocks now in hi» charge, I shall have no hesitation in furnishing you with sucb further data as you may require." On the third day of June, 18T3j be wrote to the defendant, through his agent, as fol- lows: "In reply to your note of this date, in which you say that ■ in regard to any claim which you may represent against the Yetterlein estate in bankruptcy it seems to me that the proper course for you to pursue is to present it in the usual way to J. K. Hill,' I have to answer that I do not represent any claim against the estate of the Vetterleins in bankruptcy. The communication which I addressed to you on the twenty- seventh ultimo is explicit, and unless I have the answer asked for I shall be compelled to proceed as therein set forth." On the twentieth day of February, 1874, he wrote again to de- fendant, by his agent, as follows : "I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your favor of the eighteenth instant, in which you say you prefer to allow all disputed points at issue in the Vetterlein estate to remain in abeyance until the government case is disposed of, etc., and that you hope to hear very soon of Bome dejinite resuit in the United States case, and as you are enjoined from making any payment at present, no loss can accrue to me or to my client by reason of some little further delay. The fact of the" pendency of the United States case, and that you are enjoined from making any payments, does not, it seems to me, prevent you from fully considering now the matter in question. That is all that is asked at pres- ent. If you bear in mind that my client has already waited over two years, you must admit it is not unreasonable that they are not satisfied to await the issue of a case in which they have not the least interest. To repeat, all that is asked now is a just and equitable consideration and some definite action." Notwithstanding the demand for an account and definite action contained in these letters, and the refusai to postpone the matter as proposed by the defendant, the plaintifi took no other steps to enforce his alleged rights till about the first day of June, 1878, when, by his same agent, he wrote the defend-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 2lmxlwt0ifpa8klbm7t24rz5rtps82c Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/712 104 698001 15135386 8174910 2025-06-14T22:32:25Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, DERAL BE → DERAL RE, EPOET → EPORT, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (5) 15135386 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>700 FEDERAL REPORTER. account with Th. H. Vetterlein &'Sons." In this second account, wMch runs from October 23, 1865, to December 21, 1870, the plaintifE is charged with various payments in cash down to the twenty-eighth of November, 1870. He is cred- ited with the above-mentioned balance of the account with the former firm; also with $2,622, his share of the profits up to December 30, 1865, which sum is credited to him on the books of the firm, also with the sums of $20 and $50 cash paid at different times to the firm, with which the books also credit him. This second account is made up with semi- annual rests, and the plaintiff is credited with interest amounting in ail to $8,629.87. He is charged with one item which appears to be a payment by the firm on an individual adventure of his own, $4,904.51; also with $1,479.65, a transfer in Vetterlein & Co.'s ledger. It appears by that ledger that a debit balance to this amount against the plain- tiff was balanced by charging the same to Th. H. Vetterlein & Sons, but no corresponding entry was made in the books of the latter firm. The credit balance of this second account is $19,187.91, and this constitutes the firsfc item in the ac- <}ount rendered by the plaintiff to the defendant with the let- ter of his agent, dated June 1, 1878. The demand in said let- ter not being complied with, the plaintiff commenced this suit in November, 1879. This suit is sought to be maintained by the learned counsel for the plaintiff as a suit by a sole suiv- ent partner to recover the assets of the firm of which he was a member, for the purpose of liquidating the afiairs of the firm and distributing them according to the rights of the sev- eral partners and their representatives. The firms as to which this claim is made appear to have been solvent when dissolved, and, so far as appears, the plaintiff is a solvent part- ner of such of them as he was a member of, though there is no evidence that Bernard Vetterlein and Henry Thurman, who were partners in the firm of Th. H. & B. Vetterlein & Co., and Charles A. Meniar, of Vetterlein & Co., are not also solvent.

Suivent partner to obtain possession of the assets of his former firm for the purpose of liquidation, if that right had been reasonably demanded, I think it is clearly too late now for him to exercise it as agaiust the defendant, Theodore H. Vetterlein, as one of the members in all these firms, though a bankrupt, had some interest in all their remaining assets. To put the case most favorably for the plaintiff, Theodore H. Vetterlein and Bernard T. Vetterlein had possession of them as liquidators, with an interest in them on the part of Theo- dore H. Vetterlein. The assignee finding them in their pos- session takes and holds them, having reason to believe and ■claiming that they belonged to the bankrupts. The plaintiff appeared on the books of these several firms as a debtor, with- •out apparent interest in these assets, even if they still kept their distinctive character as assets of the .firms to which they originaily belonged. The assignee administered on them as assignee, denying the plaintiff's right to an account and payment out them, which was alone then his claim. It seems to me clear that, independently of the statuts of limitations, the plaintiff's right, if he ever had any, to administer on these assets as the sole remaining solvent partner is lost by laches. He knew of the bankruptcy, Then was the time for him to assert this right, if he had it. He f ailed to do so. After about two years he demanded an account of money collected and payment of his pretended balances due, and after about ten years from the time, if ever, his right to liquidate accrued to him, he bas brought suit. This right of a solvent partner is a privilege which he may assert or may waive. If he permita his insolvent partner or the representative of his insolvent part- ner to go un and administer the assets, he waives his privi- lege, and this, I think, the plaintiff has done. It seems to me, also, that the two-years' bar under section 5057 applies to this suit as a suit to recover these assets. The right really accrued, if at all, against the bankrupts upon their failure, or at any rate against the assignee as soon as he assumed con- trol over these assets, upon his appoinment as alleged in the bill.

The case is The Giant Powder Go. v. The California Vigorit Powder Go. 18 0. G. 1339; S. C. 4 Fed. Eep. 720.* In it the learned judge is understood to declare that if the court can discover, upon a comparison of the two instruments, that there was no defect- ive specification to be amended, and that the elaim was not broader than the invention, the action by the commissioner in granting a re-issue was in excess of his jurisdiction, and void ; and that if the patentee claims too little, instead of too much, his specification is not defeotive by reason of that mis- take, but ail which he did not claim was dedicated to the public. I do not mean to say that I consider the decision to be as extensive as this; but it is so understood by some mem- bers of the bar; and there are remarks in the opinion which lend a color to such a construction. The Kevised Statutes simply re-enact the law upon this subject which ;has been in force since 1836: "Whenever any patent isinoperative or invalid, by reason of a defeotive or insufficient specification, or by reason of the patentee claim- ing as his own invention or discovery more than he had a right to claiui as new, if the error has arisen by inadvertence, accident, or mistake, and without any fraudulent or decep- tive intention, the commissioner shall, on the surrender of such patent, and the payment of the duty required by law, cause a new patent for the same invention, and in acoord- ance with the corrected specification, to be issued." Section 4916. The most natural construction of this law would, perhaps, be, that if a patent should be inoperative by reason of a defeot- ive specification, or invalid for claiming too much, the defeot might be supplied, or the excessive claim be reduced by re- issue. But the courts have given a very different interpreta- tion — much wider in most respects, and narrower in only one. They do not permit a defeotive specification to be supplied, ■excepting from the drawiugs or model; but they do per- mit the claim to be varied, provided the same invention is See S. C, 5 Fed. Rep. 197.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> s9a7cyeo5nzf04q0525x5cy1ihqmycr Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/732 104 698050 15135389 8174932 2025-06-14T22:32:28Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: wbi → whi, PEDEBAL → FEDERAL, EEPO → REPO, EPOET → EPORT, ORTBB → ORTER, removed: � (8) 15135389 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>720 FEDERAL REPORTER» So it will operate and produce its results as a presser-foot, though not ail the results, when the grooves have been made in the stay-strip before it is sewed. The re-issue, then, was granted in order to enable the pat- entee to claim the aotual operations of his tool in detail, which is a perfectly legitimate reason for a re-issue, until the law is changed by congress or the supreme court. One great dispute of faet is whether the invention was, in faetj new. One Turner swears that he made a presser-foot of the same sort seven years earlier. Turner wasemployed by the plaintiffs to sell their presser-foot, and, while ;so em- plbyed, tried to undersell them with one of his own. For this fraud he was discharged, and went into the employ of the defendants, and procured a patent on his presser-foot. How this came to be granted, without an interference, I am not informed. The invention appears to me to be, in substance, identical with that of the plaintiff. However, Turner says that this was a revival of a presser-foot which he had made years before, and there is some testimony to support him. It is open to the criticism so often made upon such remembered inventions, which never went into general use. Against it, the plaintiffs bring strong negative evidence of many persons who must have seen and used the thing if it existed. They go further, and bring thirty witnesses to impeach the charac- ter of Turner for truth ; and two who swear that he tried to bribe them to remember his presser-foot. None of the evi- dence to oharacter is met, or attempted to be met, excepting by the testimony of one of the defendants. It is not made out, to my satisfaction, that Turner made his presser-foot before Sutherland made his. The respondents insist that Turner's presser-foot, whenever it may have been invented,. differs essentially from that of Sutherland, in that it has its central recession or depression much deeper than those upon the sides, so that it will fit much better the ordinary shape of an outward turned seam, This argument is used both as to nbvelty and as to infringement.

D. Benner, for an improvement in paper bags, of which Benner was the original and first inventer; that the defendants held a patent, dated February 20, 1872, for an improvement alleged to have been invented by Luther C. Crowell; that the patents interfered; and the eomplain- ants prayed that the defendants' patent might be declared void. The answer denied that Benner was the prier inventer of the improvement patented to the eomplainants; insisted that Crowell was the inventer of that held by the defendants ; neither confessed ner denied the interference; but concluded with the prayer that the eomplainants' patent should be ad- judged void. The court eonsidered the issues upon these pleadings, and, on a comparison of the specifications of the two patents, held that they described and claimed the same invention, and that Crowell was the true and first inventor; thus reversing the judgment of the patent-office, which had deelared an interference, examined the case, and decided in favor of Benner. The deeree passed by the court declared the defendants' patent to be good and valid, and the eom- plainants' to be void. The only other case, involving a construction of the section under consideration, that I have been able to find, is that of Foster v. Lindsay, 3 Dill. 126, in which Judge Treat, sitting in the circuit court for the eastern district of Missouri, ex- pressly held that the section vested the power in the court to adjudge.either of the interfering patents void, in whele or in part, and also authorized a deeree that both patents were void, The learned judge found a support to bis opinion in fhe allusion made by the supreme court in Mowry v. Whitney, 14 Wall. 440, to the scope and purport of the sixteenth section of the act of 1836. The defendant had set up in his answer that both of the interfering patents were void for want of novelty. The court allowed the defence to the action, and said that the power conferred by the etatute to declare either of the patents invalid, in whele or in part, necessarily included full authority, where the evidence justified, on the issues made.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 25eqe8i3qde9u987zqz3ramqcml1ler Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/748 104 698090 15135391 8174948 2025-06-14T22:32:30Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTEB → PORTER, FEDBB → FEDER, BBPORT → REPORT, removed: � (8) 15135391 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>736 FEDERAL REPORTER. respect, (if we omit the bill of sale and accompanyingpaper,) and while his conduct may posaibly have been honest and fair, appearances are against him. The circumstances under which he claims to have purchased the boat are calculated to exoite suspicion, The situation of the libellant, an illiterate man, in necessitous circumstances, in the respondent's em- ployment; seriously embarrassed by the injury to his boat; the inadequacy of the alleged consideration; the resort to unfaimess, in arresting the libellant on a charge of larceny, to obtain possession, are circumstances which cannot be over- looked in considering the claim which the respondent sets up. His aclsnowledged offer of $50 to "get rid" of the libellant and obtain possession of the boat, just before making the charge of larceny, is not consistent with his claim; and his statement that if the repairs had been found to oost $500, he would have paid libellant $100, notwithstanding the contract did not require it, does not tend to inspire confidence in his candor. In short, while the libellant's statement seems con- sistent and probable, in itself, and is corroborated in important particulars, that of the respondent seems inconsistent and improbable, and is wholly without corroboration, — aside from the papers referred to. I find, therefore, as matter of fact, that imposition was practiced in obtaining the libellant's signature, to the bill of sale and accompanying paper, and that the contract between the parties was simply for the services of the libellant and his boat, on the terms he bas stated. If the contract amounted to a pledge of the boat for the sum advanced, (and it probably did,) the evidence, I think, jus- tifies a belief that respondent bas been paid by the money retained.

The facts and circumstances which constituted the fraud are particularly and fully set forth in the bill. Ita allegations are snstained beyond all doubt or deniai by the proofs. It is, perhaps, not easy to imagine a grosser case of conspiracy by merchants of fair repute to cheat and defraud their creditors, or one where the proofs could be more convincing and indis- putable. The testimony is very voluminous. But the evi- dence to establish the fraud is that of seven witneases only, viz., Lewis, Newman, Hyams, Schoenfeld, Naphtaly, Sharp, and Bremer, nearly all of whom were active participants in the fraud, either at its inception or during its progress or at its consummation. I shall not attempt to give a detailed account of the various transactions by which the respondent, at the instance and by the aid of Newman and Schoenfeld, two of the three mem- bers of the firm, succeeded in getting possession of the entire assets of the partnership, to the exclusion of all its eastern and foreign creditors, and of nearly all its creditors in this state. It will be sufficient to state the nature and effect of the fraudulent conspiracy, and in a general way the means by which those objects were attained. The' firm of Schoen- feld, Cohen & Co. was composed of three partners — Louis S. Schoenfeld, Isaac Newman, and Simon Cohen. Its capital was 130,000, contributed ^$15,000 each) by Schoenfeld and Newman. Cohen was to contribute for a certain period his skill and experience in the business, and thereaf ter to f urnish $15,000 to the capital, or pay interest on such portion thereof as he should fail to furnish. Each partner was to be at lib- erty to draw $050 per month for personal expenses.

The money had been originally obtained, as Newman asserted, and as appears to be the fact, from the respondent, and there is evidence tending to show that New- man had, without the knowledge of his partners, executed a note in the firm name to Lewis for $17,000 of the amount. On this point the testimony is conflicting. Itis net material; for the note, if executed, was a fraud upon his other part- ners, and the respondent well knew that the firm note to New- man for the loan was outstanding. It had, in fact, been transferred by Newman to Lewis, and had been by the latter lent to Newman to enable him to deposit it as collateral security for his loan from the bank. At the first meeting nothing definite was effected. At the next meeting Mr. New- ihan explained the embarrassed condition of the firm. He stated that he owed $20,000, viz: the $18,000 already men- tioned,!and $2,000 which Lewis had loaned to the firm, and for which bel held their gentiine note ; that Lewis was his only friend in the world, etc., and he insisted that he should be protected. • Mr. Sohoenfeld replied that if Lewis was to be protected, his confidential creditor should also be secured. This was assented to, and it was agreed that a firm note for $«,■000 should be executed to Bremer, "so that the $8,000 should stand valid against the firm instead of against an individual member, in case any action should be taken." This wks accordingly done on the succeeding day. The note was delivered to Mr. William Bremer, agent for H. Bremer, who wasto hold it for presentation as a firm debt in case any suit was brought against the firm. Mr. Bremer did not then, nor at any time up to the trial of this cause, surrender the individ- ual notes of Schoenfeld originally given by the latter to his brother. A few days subsequently Mr. Schoenfeld received a peremp- tory notice from the Anglo-California Bank to make good the firm's indebtedness. This notice he communicated to Mr. Newman.

It is contended that the mode of proceeding adopted in this case is peeuliar to the state of New York, where it grew up under the rules framed by Chancellor Walworth, to carry into effect the provisions of the Eevised Statutes of that state with regard to creditors' bills. But it would seem that Mr, Justice McLean enter- tained bills similar to the bill in this case without hesitation. In Lamon v. Clark, 4 McLean, 18, the bill alleged that "the defendant had equitable things in action and other property which cannot be reached by execution, and that he also had debts due to him by persans unkriown." These allegations are as general and unspecific as those contained in the bill under consideration, but the bill was, nevertheless, entertained. It is asserted by counsel that this jurisdiction was taken under a statute of Michigan similar to that of New York. But the court expressly repudiated the notion that a state statute can confer jurisdiction in equity upon the courts of the United States, although the latter may adopt modes of proceeding and partieular remedies, when the cause is within their juris- diction, and the proceedings adopted are conformable to the general principles by which courts of equity are govemed. And with respect to the case before it the court observes : "The jurisdiction is appropriate to chancery, and 7nay be exer- ercised where tkere is no special statute. Similar relief is given in England. 1 Vernon, 398; 1 P. Wms. 445; 2 Dickens, 575; Ambler, 79-455; 20 John. 563; 2 John. Ch. 283- 296; 4 John. Ch. 691." In Pettit V. Chandler, before cited, the bill, after alleging judgment obtained, execution issued, and return of nulla bona, proceeded to state that "for a long time before the recovery of the judgments Pettit had transacted, in his own name, business to a large amount in New York, and was possessed of great property, and that he had not pretended or given out that he had become insolvent, or had lost any property, but that just before the recovery of the judgments in favor of the complainant he had suddenly stopped doing business in his own name with the avowed intention of preventing the com- nlainant from obtaining satisfaction of his judgments; that<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 6vamxfbwitzqo7a2hp6atvtsywmm50l Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/796 104 698210 15135396 8174999 2025-06-14T22:32:35Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, AIi → AL , EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, ORTBB → ORTER, removed: � (8) 15135396 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>784 FEDEHAL REPORTER. mission to bridge the river, these conflicting interests can be considered and adjusted as may be thought best for the pub- lie good, But this court must simply ascertain whether the bridge ■will be a material obstruction to the navigation of the river. It eannot balance these conflicting interests and determine that the one will be more benefited by the bridge than the other will be injured thereby. Its power is confined to the determination of the question whether it will be a material obstruction to navigation or not. In the Wheeling Bridge Case the obstruction caused by the bridge, as compared with the benefit, was exceedingly small, That suit was commenced in 1849, when the commerce on the Ohio was more limited than now, and the bridge was a Connecting link in a great public highway by rail and other- wise. The referee reported that, of ail the steam-boats then running on the river, only nine were prevented from passing the bridge on account of the great height — from 63|- to 80 feet — of their "chimneys," andtheyfor only a f ew days in the year. And although these chimneys might have been short- ened or lowered, when passing the bridge, by means of hinges, and although the benelit resulting to navigation in the increased draft given by such tall chimneys must have been small in comparison to the benefit to commerce result- ing from the bridge, yet the latter was determined to be a violation of the act of congress deelaring the navigation of the river "free and common to the citizens of the United States," and the court ordered it abated as a nuisance. As I said during the hearing, it appears from the evidence that the draw is too narrow to admit the passage of the larger vessels that come here, and on that account the bridge is an obstruction to navigation ; and I am satisfied that the f urther investigation of the subject will make this more apparent. But I am also satisfied that this bridge, whatever the width of the draw, will be an obstruction if ereoted in the midst of this harbor.

Afterwards several assessments upon the stockholders were ordered by the court or by the iudge in vacation for the payment of debts of the company, and severaL reports were made by the receiver and passed upon by the court, from some of which it appears that he nad instituted suit against several of the stockholders, includ- ing P. E. Hinckley, A. B. Cox, J. Jamison, and George Boone. These proceedings were carried on in the Jones county circuit court, without any appearance on the part of the stockholders, until the third of November, 1879, when George Boone, John M. Whittaker, and Francis E. Hinckley filed their intervening petition, herein alleging that tiiey are stockholders ; that cer- tain claims against the company are fraudulent; denying no- tice of the proceedings ; besidee numerous other allegations which need not be repeated here. By said petition they pray an accounting, and that the order for assessment upon the capital stock be set aside, as well as the order appointing Schoonover as receiver. Upon the fQing of this intervening .petition in vacation, and without notice to any one other thaii that which is afforded by the filing of the same, a peti- tion and bond in this form were filed in the clerk's office of the state court for the removal of the cause to this court.

But the right exista only when the payment is usury, and I do not see why the $16 may not be regarded as so much paid by way of interest in advance, rather than have the agreement faU for want of consideration, though I have treated the payment as usury, as was claimed and argued on both sides. Lee's letter to plaintiff, expressing a hope that he would "not make any expense," does not appear to have been acted on by plaintiEf; but, I infer from facts in the case, he did make expense by suit subsequent to the date of Lee's letter, which suit was dis- continued after the agreement to extend the payment. How- ever that may be, the letter is not consent to an agreement to extend the day of payment for a year, and does not pre- vent Lee from insisting on the defence that he is discharged.

The faet that the jurors in question occupied Judge Trimble's room at all is satisfaotorily explained. It appears to have been arranged that some jurors in at- tendance upon the court should while away their evenings at cards in the rooms of Colonel Milo Smith, who was a juror of the regular panel, but not in the Pool case. It so hap- pened that Mrs. Smith, after some days, reached the city, and it therefore became necessary to abandon the arrange- ment for meeting at Colonel Smith's rooms. Thereupon John E. Wallace, who was not a juror in the case then on trial, seeing that Judge Trimble's room was un- occupied, asked him if he had any objection to their card party meeting at his room. He did not state to Judge Trim- ble who the persons engaged in the card playing were; and the latter, when he gave consent to their using his room, wa» not aware that any juror in the Pool case was of the party. It clearly and indubitably appears that when Judge Trimble and Mr. Blythe afterwards came to know that some mem- bers of the jury in the case then on trial were of the oard party, they kept studiously aloof from Judge Trimble's room. It is proved clearly that Mr. Blythe was never in the room at all when the jurors were there, and Judge Trimble was in the room only once during the several nights ia question, and then only for a single moment to obtain some needed papers. It appears that neither Judge Trimble nor Mr. Blythe ever, on any occasion during the trial, spoke to any jurors con- cerningthe case, or aUuded to the same in their presence ex- cept in open court. When Judge Trimble found that some members of the jury in the case were occupying his room, as stated, he was placed in a somewhat embarrassing situation. He had given consent to their ocoupancy of his room, which was practically vacant. He could not well rescind his assent and order thenx to vacate the room without danger of giving olience and perhaps prejudicing his client's cause. Both he and Mr. Blythe seem to have done all that could reasonably be expected of them under the circumstances ; they kept aloof from the room during its occupancy by the jurors, and ab- staincd scrupulously from making any allusion to the case on<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 50sypforzdjmk9hmpl8zsj2vsg9mfi7 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/870 104 698393 15135403 9687671 2025-06-14T22:32:41Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: ORTK → ORTE, removed: � (8) 15135403 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>858 FEDERAL REPORTER. claim also that there was a special contract in relation to the apparatus, but say that the terms of the contract were that the piaintiff should deliver to them the apparatus, and set it up ready for use; that theywere to have.until the first of June to try it ; and that if it did not yield an average ,of five dollars per day, or if it were not perfectly satisfactory to them in its workings, they were not to take it. Defendants admit that the amount yielded by the apparatus was above the Bum agreed upon, but they say that the apparatus was de- feetive in its materials and construction, and in its working operations, and wholly unsatisfactory to them, and that they received it and it was put up by plaintifife for them about the twenty-sixth of April; that, finding it def active in the particulars specified, they notified the plaintiEfs thereof ; and that finally, on the twenty-ninth day of May, they notified the piaintiff B that they would not purchase the same, and re- quested them to take it away, which they failed to do; that on the first day of June, when plaintiffs' agent called upon them and demanded payment, they refused to pay, and notified the agent to remove the apparatus, which he refused to do; that they kept it in use, subject to the plaintiEfs' order, until the twenty-third day of June, when they took it down and notified the plaintiffs thereof; that plaintiffs failing to take it away, that afterwards, on the of August,they boxed up in good order and shipped in good condition the apparatus to the plaintiffs at Boston, where they received and still hold the same. The plaintiffs admit that the apparatus was received at their establishment in Boston about the first of September, but say it was not received and kept by them as their own propertj ; that it was, when received, in a damaged condition, and not worth over $300 ; and that on the twenty-sixth of October they wrote the defendants that they had received and held it as de- fendants' property The parties differ as to the terms of the agreement, but both admit that the goods were delivered by the plaintiffs and received by the defendants under a special contract.

The respondent bas also been very dilatory in submitting to the court the amend- ments to the proposed orders, which be obtained leave of the court to submit. These laches on the part of the respondent is urged by petitioner's counsel as a reason for denying this application, but, in view of the great importance of the case to the parties, I do not feel at liberty, on tbis ground, to deny the application, although, so far as it is granted, it will be upon the condition that hereafter there be no delay. It is urged on behalf of the petitioners that it is now too late to adjourn questions into the circuit court, because the statute does not allow this to be done af ter the decision of the questions by the district court, and that in this case the ques- tions have been decided by the district court. The provision of the statute is: "Tbe district judge may adjourn any point or question arising in any case in bankruptcy into the circuit court for the district, in bis discretion, to be there heard and determined." 5 St. 445. I think the circumstance that the point or question bas been submitted to the district judge, and that he bas expressed bis opinion thereon, does not preclude him, if in bis discretion he tbinks it proper and just to do so, from adjourning questions into the circuit court to be there heard and determined. Indeed, it must often happen that until the district judge bas heard and ex- amined the whole case he cannot properly or intelligently determine what points or questions are so important or so difficult as to call for the exercise of tbis discretionary power. Points which upon the pleadings or upon their first statement may appear difficult or important, may be found upon exam- ination to be settled by autbority ; or, though difficult as ab- stract questions, wholly unimportant, because not decisive of the matter to be determined. Until an order or decree is entered it cannot be said, in the strict sense of the word, that there is a decision. The court may, notwithstanding its opinion delivered in the cause, enter an order or decree not altogether in conformity therewith.

The eeveral combinations of the above-mentioned devices, which constitute the invention, are set forth in the claims at the close of this specification. In order that they may be fully understood, I have represented in the accompanying draw- ing, and will proceed to describe, the mode in which I em- bodied them for practical use at the time of filing the appli- cation for my original patent.

Figure 8 18 a side View of the devices showing the compound stopper dis» engaged from the bottle mouth, but still connected with the bottle.' The compound stopper represented in the said draw- ihg is composed of the rigid cap-piece, E, and the-ejastid member, D, which is made of iubber or other elastio mate- rial. Theelastic member, D, bas the form of a disk df small thickness compared with its diameter, so that it ie flexible, and may readily bend to conform to the form whiob may be given to the cap-piece. It is also constructed with a Central shank or stem, e, which is perforated transversely near itS upper end so that a wire may be passed through it to prevent its withdrawal from the cap-piece, E, which is perforated . centrally to permit the stem of the rubber disk to be passed through it. The lower surface of the disk, D, is of larger diameter than the opening in the mouth of the bottle to which said disk is to be applied.

In the plaintiff's re- issue the neck band is pivoted to the lever, the lever to the yoke, and the yoke to the stopper. In Exhibit No. 11 the neck band is pivoted to the yoke, the yoke to the lever, and the lever to the stopper. In both there are four elements, — the neck band, the yoke, the lever, and the stopper, — each con- nected to one of the other three by a pivotai connection-, there being three pivotai connections. The neck band and the stopper are in the same place in both structures, each at one end of the series of four. The places of the yoke and the lever are transposed in the two structures. In the plaintiffs' the lever is next to the neck band, and the yoke is next to the stopper. In Exhibit No. 11 the yoke is next to the neck band and the lever is next to the stopper. But this is the only dif- ference, and it is no diiierence of substance in respect to the invention and to the mode of operation of the combination of the four elements, in its entirety, as such combination exists in both structures. That is the combination covered by the first daim of the re-issue. The same considerations show that the combination covered by the second claim of the re-issue exists in Exhibit No. 11. Exhibit No. 11 is known as the Von Hofe stopper. 2. The answer sets up that the re-issue covers more than was described in the specification of the original patent, and is not for the same invention. There is no evidence to this effect, and there does not appear to be any ground for the assertion. 3.

Although he sold beer in bottles to be taken away from his saloon and opened elsewhere, — bottles with corks, as he says, — he never sent this bottle and structure away from his saloon. Before, he made his structure he had, he says, seen bottles with a pat- ent stopper, of one Schlesting, which had a compound stop- per composed of a rigid top piece and an elastic member, and was opened and closed by means of a separate lever or piece of iron. But he says he did not procure the Schlesting stop- per, and for the reason, as he says, that he used to send out beer in bottles, and would have to give to each customer a piece of iron to open the bottle, which was liable not to be returned, and he says that for this reason he tried to make a stopper that would suit him better. Yet the new structure could not have been a satisfaetory one to be used for the pur- - pose of replacing corks, or in lieu of adopting the Schlesting stopper, and to be sent out with bottles of beer, or Otto would have had more of them made, and would have put them to the use of transportation, The original specification of De Quillfeldt says that his stopper is to close bottles in a "se- eure" manner, as well as in a quick and convenient manner, and that, when closed, the "stopper is seated so firmly on the bottle that no accidentai detachment in handling is possi- ble." The re-issue says that the bottle mouth is "securely closed" and "tightly" closed. It is not shown that this structure of Otto's closed the bottle mouth securely or tightly. Unless this was done the structure was useless. The evi- dence on this subject is entirely wanting. Otto says that he used the structure in his saloon, and that it worked "good." He gives this account of the way in which he used the struct- ure in his saloon : "I filled the bottle with Rochester beer. I used to pour out one glass from it to a customer and enclose it again and place it on the table. Either they would pour out the second glass themselves, or, if they couldn't open it, I would show it to them, and pour out a second glass, too. Then, when I bottled beer again, I filled it again and sold it as before.

LowELL, G. J. I have to-day decided, in a case between the parties to this suit,* that the plaintifFs' patent for a presser- foot adapted to sewing stay-strips over the outward turned seams of boots and shoes is valid. The present controversy relates to another patent granted to the plaintif Sutherland, re-issue No. 7,510, for a stay-strip as a new article of manu- facture. The stay-strip, as described, is a narrow piece of leather folded or doubled so as to fit over the projecting seam, and with a channel or groove to hug or fit that seam, and other grooves at the sides of the seam calculated to receive the stitches by which the stay is fastened to thebootor shoe. The projection of the peam raises a fiUet, as it is called, or swell, which serves to protect the stitches, and this is done still further by the beads or swells or fiUets which bound the grooves on the edges of the stay-strip. The specification ex- plains one great advantage of a strip thus prepared to be that it can be sewed automatically to the boot or shoe with- out troubling the operator to guide it by hand so much as he must a strip of a different shape. He claims this stay-strip in its several forma. The defendants make a stay-strip with beaded edges suited to receive the stitches. I cannot find in the article which they make any decided central groove or corrugation adapted to the seam, They do not, therefore, infringe the first claim or the third, but do corne within the second, which is for the stay-pieee with these side grooves, The decision, then, must depend upon the validity of the re-issued patent. The original, No. 176,094, was for an improvement in stay- seaming boot or shoe uppers, and described the method of putting a stay, with channels for the stitches, over an outward turned seam, as contrasted with the old method of turning the seam inward and leaving it unprotected. I am unable to find in it any mention of automatie sewing, or of a central channel to hug or fit the seam. On the contrary, the method described is simply to put a folded or double strip over the seam and sew it there. This will iorm a channel in the fin- ished work, as the model from the patent-office, when eut *A>ife, 713.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 3sq5z5mcrinflgvn01zvo5bd5pmv36a Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/918 104 698496 15135412 8175132 2025-06-14T22:32:50Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, FEDBB → FEDER, EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, removed: � (16) 15135412 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>906 FEDERAL REPORXER.

Wliere a collision occurred at sea between a schooner bound to New York and a steamer bound to the Delaware, each libelied the other for damages, and the steamer also libelied for salvage, having taken the schooner in tow ; and upon trial — Hdd, that the corner of the house on deck, where the schooner carried her red and green lights, was not a proper location for the side lights ; but where it appeared that, in spite of this location, the lights were visible to the approaching vessel, the faulty location of the lights did not conduce to the collision, and does not render the vessel liable. Section 4234 of the Kevised Statutes requires a lighted torch to be exhibited by a sailing vessel to an approaching steamer, whether the steamer be approaching from forward or abaft the beam ; and where such torch is not exhibited the sailing vessel will be held in fault, unless clear proof be given that the failure did not coutribute to the collision. Where lights of a schooner, plainly exhibited to a steamer, were not actually seen by the steamer until the schooner was too close upon her to avoid a collision, hdd, that the steamer was in fault ; and, both vessels being in fault in this case, the damages must be apportioned. 2.

These facts make a case of fault on the part of the steamer, provided the schooner was displaying lights capable of being seen by the steamer at a sufficient distance to enable her to avoid the schooner. The case, so far as the steamer is con- cerned, must, therefore, turn upon the question of lights upon the schooner. Upon this question there is a conflict of evidence, but a careful study of the testimony has satis- fied me that the weight of the evidence is that the schooner, as she approached the steamer, was displaying a light capable of being seen by those iu charge of the steamer in time to enable her to avoid the schooner, The evidence from the steamer on this point is the testimony of two sea- men, who were stationed upon the|„steamer's bow aa.lookouts, and who agree iu declaring that they were keeping a.watch-r fbl lookout, saw the schooner first when close at hand, and saw no light upon her. In addition there is from, the steamer the testimony of seyeral persoil^, whpi,observed the schooner from , the. instant of collision, and observed no Hgbt upon her lintil af^cr the vessels had .passed each other, when she dis- played a.whitelight. ' .,^he veight of the testimony of those on board.the steamer, who speak as to what they observed at the moment of col- lision, and immediately thereafter, is diminished by the faict that these observations were mq-de in the confusion and ex- citement necessarilyincidetit to such a serious collision, and by the further fact that it is diffieult to reconcile the state- ment of seyeral of the witnesses from the steamer that the port side of the schooner was presented to the steamer, as she swept past the steamer's starboard side, with the nature of the blow, the absence at that time of head-sails on the schooner, the injury to the starboard side of the schooner, and the mbvements of the schooner after the blow, as testi- , fied to by those on board of her. In opposition to this testimony from the steamer, there is from the schoonor the direct and positive testimony of six persons that both the red and green lights of the schooner were set and burning brightly at the time of the collision.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> roh8uitrcabq62qpambtf0wfn103uxf Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 6.djvu/922 104 698507 15135414 9687672 2025-06-14T22:32:52Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: REPOB → REPOR, TEB. → TER., removed: � (9) 15135414 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>910 FEDEB^Ii REPORTER. head-sails of the echooner, and therefore were not visible to the stea^Her.

In regard to the red light being at the time the windward light, it is not possible to contend that that light, if buming properly, would not be visible to the steamer approaching, as this steamer was, nearly bow to bow. I therefore conclude that the schooner, as she approached the steamer, was displaying lights which a watchful lookout on the steamer would have seen in time to avoid her, and that the cause of the failure on the part of the steamer to see the schooner until it was toc late to avoid her, was the absence of such a lookout. But it is contended in behalf of the steamer that, if it be found that the schooner had her side lights set and buming, the schooner must nevertheless be held responsible for the col- lision, because of the admitted fact that her side lights were placed inboard, on the corners of the forward house, instead of in the rigging. The difficaltj with this contention is that the fact that the red light was a short distance further inboard than it would have been if placed in the rigging, becomes immaterial in this case when it appears that, located as the light was, it sbowed a clear light ahead without ob- struction. I do not approve of the location of the schooner's lights, but I cannot find that the location in any way con- duced to this collision, because it appears that there was nothing to obstruct those lights in the direction of the steamer. It is also, and with better reason, contended in behalf of the steamer that the schooner must be held in fault for omitting to comply with the statute, which declares that "every sail- vessel shall,;,on the approach of any steam-vessel during the night-time, show a lighted torch upon the point or quarter to which such steam-vessel shall be approaching."

He estimates that 'when the second signal was given the steamer was within two or three of her lengths from the fcug. The master of the tug, who was also in the pilot-house, tells substantially the same story, It is apparent, therefore, that those in charge of the tug, notwithstanding she received no answer to her first signal, persisted in going to the west- ward, and attempting to pass on the steamer's starboard'side, until the steamer, continuing to show her red light and obviously also going to starboard, was so close that a collision with either the tug or her tow was almost certain. Whether the two blasts of her whistle, then given by the tug, were answered by the two blasts, as they claim, or with one, as those on the steamer testify, does not seem to me to be, in itself, a matter of serions importance, for neither vessel then had it in her power to perform any maneuver which would, except by some lueky chance, have averted the disaster. It is clear that the tug was in fault. I have had diffieulty in satisfying myself as to whether or not the steamer was also to blame. No one, 1 think, could take up the consideration of the steamer's case without a leaning against her, and a predis- position to find her in fault. Her offieers, although accus- tomed to the command of sailing vessels, were almost without experience in steamer navigation, and it was their first voy- age in this steamer. They were not familiar with the chan- nel, and they were running out in the night-time, — a very bold thing for them to undertake unassisted, and which rea- sonable prudence would seem to have forbidden. But be- cauae her offieers were likely to fail in seamanship, I am not to take it for granted that they did, unless the evidence con- victs them of it. The steamer was, at the time of the collision, on that side of the channel on which she had a right to be; all her offieers were at their posts of duty; they all testify that they heard the first signal of the tug, and that it was but one blast of the<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 2zqz5bdl5ipl1fjwhcvpnb4tpeuri02 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/5 104 698561 15135470 8175595 2025-06-14T22:33:47Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, removed: � (115) 15135470 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>OASXS SBPORTSO.

On the twentieth of June, 1859, after the making and recording of said trust deed, Johnston sold and oonveyed the premises to John A. Washington, snbject to the trust deed, and by the terras of the conveyance "Washington assumed and agreed to pay the indebtedness secured by said trust deed.

Wash- ington, after bequeathing to his son Lawrence certain family heir-looms, mementos, books, and manusoripts, disposed of the residue of his property in the following terma : "(3) > I give all of the property of which I may die possessed, other than that just mentioned, to be equally divided among my children as . they respectively become 2l years old, and until then to be maintained and educated out of the proceeds arising from it.

The will was duly probated in Farquier county, Virginia, in November, 1861, and letters testamentary issued to Eichard B.

Tbis is only material so far as it shows that in this decree, which, we «nust presume, was prepared by the consent of all the parties before the court, the sale was treated as a judicial sale by the court and parties, and net as a sale made exolusively under the powers of the trust deed, further than the court saw fit to adopt those powers and terms. In this respect the ease comes clearly within the case of Swift V. Smith, decided by the supreme court of the United States ai the present tema, -which expressly holds that the sale was a judicial sale, although condncted and made bj the master in chancery of the court, who was appointed a trustee by the decree ; yet, at the sam« time, it was to be made according to the terms contained in the trust deed. If this was a judicial sale, I hardly need cite authorities to show that the owners of the fee, burdened with the iudebtedness which the complainant sougbt to make out of this real estate, were necessary parties to the suit. But it is urged that eqnity rule 49 dispenses with the necesaity of making these devisees parties to the record. Thiti rule reads as follows: "In all suits conceming real estate, which is vested in ttns- tees by deviee, and snch trustees are competent to sell and give discharges for the proceeds of the sale, and for the rents and profits of the estate, such trustees shall represent the persons beneficially interested in the estate, or the proceeds or the rents and profits, in the same manner and to the same extent as the executer or administrators in suits concerning Personal estate represent the persons beneficially interested in such Personal estate; and in such cases it shall not be necessary to make the persons beneficially interested in such real estate, or rents and profits^ parties to the suit, but the court may, upon consideration of the matter upon the hear- ing, if it sbali so think fitj prdef such persons to be made parties." The question, then, in this case is, was the fee of this land vested in the executor, so as to make this rule applicable?

The contracts were let by the secretary of war, in December, 1873, to four contractors: Samuel G. Bridges, Thomas P. Morgan, and C. S. Jones, each about one-third of the head- stones for the graves of known soldiers, and to De Witt C. Sage, blocks for the graves of unknown soldiers. Jones re- fused to perform the part of the contract let to him, and it WO.B again let to Morgan. After the contracts were let, and before December 18, 1874, Bridges became the assignee of the contracts of Sage, had purchased a part of Morgan' s, and had made a conditional contract with Morgan for the pur- chase of the balance of Morgan's and Jones' contracts.

After paying them- selves, compensation for stone, advances and commissions, they were to pay the balance remaining in their hands to Bridges, and until the stone were set in the cemeteries they were to remain the sole and absolate property of Sheldons & Slason. The coutracts were completed in June, 1877. In June, 1875, a cargo of stone loaded in the schooner Almaretta was lost off the Bahama islands. The cargo was in part loaded on deck. The polioy of insurance was an ordinary marine polioy. No extra premiam had been paid for deck loading. After the loss the insurance company returned the premium and refased to pay any insurance.

But this und- ing rests upon the supposition that they had agreed to make it, and, with that supposition removed, the finding might net follow. It will not do to infer the fact from the agreement, and the agreement from the fact. This case in this respect is similar to Bnggs v. Briggs, 46 Vt. 671. There the auditor appears to have supposed that a sister could not recover, for services rendered to her brother, without an express promise to pay, or its equivalent, and thereupon, from the fact,that the services charged for were rendered without request or claim of compensation at the time, to have found that they were performed without expec- tation of payment, and to have disallowed the charges. But the court disregarded this finding as springing from an erro- neous supposition, and, as the services were valuable, and were rendered within the knowledge of, and without objec- tion by, the brother, she was allowed to recover for them. Here it is not at all clear<*that, had the master proceeded upon the basis that the court does, he would have corne to the con- clusion that he did. That he might not is the more obvions from a consideration of the evidence. There is no pretence that the substitution was made at any time except on the occasion when the fuli agreement was filled up and executed. What was done, then, as to this $20,000, rests wholly in the paroi testimony of the orator and J. B. Smith, bis clerk, and that of the defendants Charles Sheldon and John A. Sheldon, except some figures on loose pieces of paper. Neither the testimony of the orator nor of Smith tends to show any pro- posai to change what had been done about the $20,000, nor any negotiation in the direction of distributing it upon the priees of the stone instead of leaving it in a gross sum ; and the testimony of the Sheldons is that no allusion whatever was made to it. The figures have amongthem $20,000, and snow calculations upon the number of stones to be f urnished at rates producing about $20,000.

Thus the case might have to go to the master, if the court should undertake to find that iesue made by the pleadings. It seems better to send all these questions to the master, to be acted upon by him as shall be found necessary in completing the account, which will be more in accordance with the consent of the parties and the practice of the court. The report, in respect to the item of $20,000, and the mat- terP;,connected therewith, and the evidence thereupon, and the Gomputation of interest, is recommitted to the master. (Circuit Court, J>. Vermont. May Term, 1880.) Whbeler, D. J. The master bas now, pursuant to the re- commitment of his report to him, found, without further hearing, that the parties did agree to divide up the $20,000 presented as an item for allowance by the defendants, and distributed it to the price of such stone in making the con- traot executed May 20, 1875, and filed an amendment to his report accordingly. The orator insisted that the report, as it stood before, showed such a finding, and the defendants that it did not ; but the defendants filed exceptions applicable to it in that aspect, and the questions arising upon those exceptions have been fully argued. The amendment is considered to be a part of the report, as if it had been made before the excep- tions were filed, and the questions arising in respect to it, as argued, are considered to be open for determination now. These questions depend upon whether the finding of the mas- ter upon the issue in respect to that item shall stand as found, or be reviewed by the court upon the evidence taken before the master. There is no doubt about the power of a court of equity to revise the report of a master by supplying facts material which are shown by the evidence, but not stated in the report.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ghu1heml70b6zvrdz221qranjzvygrc Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/64 104 698707 15135484 8175748 2025-06-14T22:34:00Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FKDE → FEDE, FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (12) 15135484 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>52 FEDERAL REPORTER. 4.

This case was expulsion from a street railroad car, where the plaintiff was intoxicated, and used loud, boister- ous, profane, and indecent language. So it is with all the cases cited by defendant; not a single one goes upon any other ground than that there, must be, either existing or ap- prehended, some injurions, offensive, or otherwise annoying conduct of the person excluded; and the mere presence of persons of immoral character in a public car, where the im- morality is of the kind alleged in this case, and is oonfined to the private life of the individual, and does not affect her hab- its and conduct in public places, is no more a sufficient ground for exclusion than their presence in the streets, horse- cars, omnibuses, or other such vehicles would be. Any other rule would prohibit them from traveling altogether, for they may as well be excluded from these last as from the railroad cars. Indeed, the American style of railway carriages is in- compatible with any such classification of passengers ; the cars are constructed to seat not less than 60 persons, and when vir- tuous ladies travel in such conveyances they need not and do not expect to find that seclusion which is possible in social life at home, at hotels, and places of amusement. The "ladies' car" is not designated alone for women whose virtue is above reproach, but for those whose habits and behaviour are mod- est, genteel, and irreproachable, while traveling alone or with maie companions of like habits; and in it these may find some seclusion from the sometimes boisterous and rough ways of men traveling without the restraints of female society, but not seclusion from the presence of other women whose private lives, perhaps, are not what they should be, although their public demeanor is chaste and modest. The plaintiff in this case proved indisputably, I think, that she is not repulsive in appeai'anee; is aecustomed to dress well and even handsomely; behaves in a lady-like manner, and that on this occasion her conduct was unexceptionable. The defendant offered some proof of isolated occasions which might impeach'her of unlady-like behavior, but the proof was<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> o8ffvr1mwonfcacdryvvd7rjpuv7sqf Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/76 104 698737 15135501 8175880 2025-06-14T22:34:17Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (7) 15135501 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>64 KEDBBili REPORTER. and sufficient for his purpose. Even in Pewrson y. Duane, 4 Wall. 605, Bo muoh relied on, where the oaptain put ofif his passenger froma humane motive, to save his life, and the jury gave $4,000, which the supreme court, beoause of the mitigation, reduced to $50, the damages were punitive and not compensatory, as it was not shown that plaintiff had been damaged in fact one cent. He had paid for no ticket, and had no money of his own, and clearly the $50 was allowed to enforce the judgmerit that the exclusion was tech- nically wrongful, and not to compensate the plaintiff. In Bailroad v. Brown, lY Wall. 446, a colored woman ex- oluded from a car on aocount of her color "with force, and, as she alleged, with some insuit," recovered $1,500 damages, and it was not even asaigned for error that the damages should have been only compensatory, and the court affirmed the judgment. The true rule will be found to be, I think, that in all cases where the offence is against the particular individual, the want of malice only mitigates the punishment in damages, and may reduce them to zero, acoording to cir- oumstances. But, where the offence is not only against a particular individual, but also against the public, as in most, if not all the cases of wrongful exclusion of passengers, the question is one solely for the jury to say how much punish- ment is necessary to enforce the rights of the public against the carrier, as well as to vindicate the private individual. The defendant here had all the benefit of the principle relied on when the jury were told that the facts, if true, should be taken in mitigation of such punitive damages as they should think proper to give. The other instruction refused was clearly asking the court to charge upon the weight of the testimony of Stone and Hall. The court charged the jury fully as to the method of weigh- ing testimony, and cautioned them against supposing it con- sisted in merely counting the witnesses. It also instructed them that the burden of showing violence was on the plain- tiff, and that it was her duty to confine her resistance within the point of contributing to her injuries by engaging in an unnecessary trial of strength with superior force.

Choate, D. J. Tais is a libel brought by a shipwriglit to recover, against the schooner B. P. Woolsey, a domestic ves- sel, his charges for repairing. The libel alleges that one Terrell, the master and owner of the vessel, delivered her into the possession of the libellant to be repaired; that re- pairs were made of the reasonable value of $869.46; that she has at all times remained in his aetual possession ; and that he has a "common-law lien" upon the vessel for the amount due him ; and the libel prays that the vessel be con- demned and sold to satisfy the libellant's claim. Terrell, the owner, alone appeared to contest the suit. He has set up several defences, by exception and answer, -which will be sev- erally considered : 1. In the first place, it is objected that the common-law lien or right to hold the thing on which work bas been done in possession till payment of the charges incurred does not extend to ships; that it is a right appertaining to particular trades, but existing only where the usage of the particular trade bas established it; that it can be proved to exist only by proof of such usage in the particular trade. Doubtless this right originated in usage or custom, at first being estab- lished by evidence of the existence of the usage in palrticular trades, and afterwards being taken notice of as established customary law; and it seems to have been first recognized as existing in favor of persons exercising a qitasi public employ- ment as inn-keepers, and the like, who were obliged to render the service; but it has been extended to all artisans bestowing labor on goods, whether they would have been compelled to accept the employment or not. Thus it is said by Chancellor Kent, (2 Com. 635, 12th Ed. :) '' It is now the general rule that every bailee for hire, who, by his labor and skill.'has imparted an addltional value to the goods, has a lien upon the property for his reasonable chargea." And in the particular case of the shipwright who takes into his possession the vessel for repairs, and continues to hold it in his possession, the lien is too well established as matter of authority to be open to dispute.

The Kemp, supra, 488; The Windermere, supra, 728. To the contrary is the case of The Ilex, 2 Woods, 229, in which Mr. Justice Brad- ley, on the circuit, decided, upon the authority of Cox v. Murray, and The 8. O. Owens, supra, that a stevedore bas no lien for his services, because they are not of a maritime na- ture. The supreme court have never passed upon this question directly, but the plain effect of its decision in The Emily Sou- der, supra, is in favor of the stevedore 's lien; for certainly the stowing and discharge of cargo as nearly concern the fitment and business of the ship, and are as much maritime in their character, as the payment of custom-house dues or consular fees, both of which were held in that case to be necessary supplies, for which the admiralty gave a lien. Neither bas it been decided in this district ; and therefore I feel at liberty to follow what I conceive to be the true rule, as deduced from first principles, and as indicated by the later decisions of the supreme court and the district courts of New York and Massachusetts. To my mind it is very plain that the services of a steve- dore are maritime in their nature. A voyage cannot be be- gun or ended without the stowing or discharge of cargo. To receive and deliver the cargo are as much a part of the under- taking of the ship as its transportation from one port to another. Indeed, it is an essential part of such transporta- tion. Freight is not due or earned until the cargo is, at least, placed on the wharf at the end of the ship's tackle. To say that the final delivery or discharge of the cargo is not a maritime service, because it is, or may be, performed partly on shore, is simply begging the question, as it is the nature of the service, and not the place where rendered, that deter- mines its character in this respect. Without the services performed by the libellants the Canada would have been unable to accomplish the object of her voy- age, or to commence another one. The ship was in a foreign port, and the master without funds or credit.

The petition alleges only that such controversy can Le fully determined as between them. It does not allege that such controversy can be fully determined, or can be fully determined as between the plaintiffs and the Atlanta Company, without the presence of the Eichmond Company. The Eichmond Company was not served with process in the state court, nor did it appear therein, nor has it appeared in this court. Any process issued now from this court, to bring it before this court, would be original process, beeause it has not been yet brought before any court, in this suit, by any process. It cannot be brought before this court by original process. It is provided by section 1 of the act of March 3, 1875, (18 St. at Large, 470,) that "no person shall be arrested in one district for trial in another, in any civil action before a circuit or district court;" and that "no civil suit shall be brought before either of said courts against any person, by any original process or proceeding, in any other district than that whereof he is an inhabitant, and in which he shall be found at the time of serving such process or commencing such proceeding, except as hereafter provided." The exception is fonnd in section 8 of the same act, and applies only to a suit commenced in a circuit court to enforce a legal or equitable lien upon, or claim to, or to remove any encumbrance or lien or cloud upon, the title to real or per- son al property within the district where such suit is brought. This is not a suit thus excepted. The Eichmond Company is not an inhabitant of this district, nor, so far as appears, can it be found in this district to be served with process. AU that appears is that it is a Virginia corporation, and that it operates lines of railroad in Virginia and North Carolina. This is a suit in equity. The statute adopting the state prac- tioe as to suits at law does not apply to it. If it did, no such praotice could overrule the provision of the statute of the United States as to the service of process. Moreover, the act of 1875 is subsequent in time to the provision as to state practice in suits at law.

But there is nothing in either of the two cases last cited which sanctions the view that this court can proceed with this suit against the Eichmond Company, unless that company is brought into court. The state court cannot lose what jurisdiction it has acquired, nor can this court acquire any jurisdiction to determine the contre versy named in the petition, until the Eichmond Company is brought in. If it sbould now appear in this court voluntarily, either with or without any supposed service of process, there would be no difficulty about the juris- diction, be.cause, since the act of 1875, the suit is brought here on the petition of the Atlanta Company alone, to such an estent as to allow the Eichmond Company to waive every- thing else, and to complete the jurisdiction of this court by appearing in the suit in this court. But, in view of the pro- vision of section 5 of the act of 1875, that if, in any removed suit, it shall appear to the satisfaction of the circuit court, at any time after the suit has been removed, that the suit does not really and substantially involve a dispute or contro- versy properly within the jurisdiction of that court, it shall proceed no further therein, but shall dismiss the suit or re- mand it, as justice may require. This court can now, on this motion to remand, only say that, becausethe Eichmond Com- pany is not yet before this court, so as to give this court jurisdiction as to its personality, the controversy set forth in the petition, and by reason of which the removal is sought, is not properly within the jurisdiction of this court. If de- sired, however, by the Atlanta Company, a reasonable time will be allowed before remanding the cause to give an opportu- nity for the voluntary appearance of the Eichmond Company in this court.

The in- terest charged atthe several subsequent renewals, down un- til that of April 18, 1879, inclusive, of the one series, and that of February 15, 1879, inclusive, of the other series, (with a single exception, where 6 per centum was paid,) was at the rate of 9 per centum, which was sometimes paid to the bank and sometimes added into the new notes as principal. At the renewals on July 19, 1879, of the one series, and on May 19, 1879, of the other series, and at all renewals thereafter made, the interest charged was at the rate of 6 per centum, the rate authorized by the Pennsylvania act regulating inter- est, and on each occasion was included in the new note as part of its principal. The demurrer admits that upon the discount of the original notes the bank charged and received usurious interest, and that at the several renewals, down until those of May 19 and July 19, 1879, the bank charged more than legal interest, part of which, as already mentioned, was paid the bank, and part included in the notes given in renewal. The controversy relates to the amount recoverable by the bank in view of the provisions of sections 5197 and 5198 of the Revised Statutes. The former section limits the rate of interest chargeable by a national bank to that allowed by the local law, and the latter declares that "the taking, receiving, reserving, or charging a rate of interest greater than is allowed by the preceding sec- tion, when knowingly done, shall be deemed a forfeiture of the entire interest which the note, bill, or other evidence of debt carries with it, or which bas been agreed to be paid thereon ; " and in case the unlawf ul rate bas been paid, a pen- alty of twice the amount thereof is inflicted.

Furthermore, upon every ffesh renewal, interest was charged upon the UBurious interest which hadentered intothe prier notes as principal. Thus the rate was but nominally reduced to 6 per cehtnin, for with reference to the amount legally due the rate was in excess thereof. It appears, there- fore, from the admissions upon this record, that the bank, from first to last, persisted in its usurious charges. In Barnet v. The National Bank, supra, 558, it was declared that where illegal interest bas been knowingly stipulated for, but not paid, there only the sum lent, without interest, can be recovered. And in the First Nat. Bank of Uniontown v. Stauffer, 1 Fed. Eep. 187, it was held by this court that where a usurious rate of interest had been paid a national bank upon the discount of a note, no interest accruing after the Tjiaturity of the notecould be recovered, but only its face amount. Judge McKennan there says : "By the operation of the act a usurious contract' is inherently vicious, so that it cannot carry any interest with it." The authorities, there- fore, are decisive against the right of the plaintiff here to recover any interest whatever upon the usurious transactions. It is to be added, however, that one of the notes in suit in- cludes an item of indebtedness of |102 growing out of an independent matter. Upon the demurrer, and under the stipulation of the parties, let final judgment be entered for the plaintifi, — the judgment to include — First, the face ainount of the original notes, to- wit, |6,000, without interest; and, second, the sum of $102, with interest on the latter sum, to be computed by the clerk.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> s3w0vtf2qmmobpsgf7sbv6xiiu2lkbm Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/176 104 698984 15135425 14027901 2025-06-14T22:33:03Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: AIi → AL , TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, KEPORT → REPORT, autlior → author, removed: � (9) 15135425 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>164 PEDBBAL REPORTER. twenty-eighth day of December, 1878, he recovered in this court a further judgment for $1,000 debt, $1,096.08 dam- ages, and 133.05 costs; total, $2,129.13. Allof which judg- ments he avers were upon bonds issued by the defendant city, pursuant to the powers in its act of incorporation, to enable it to make varions public improvements, and for the interest which had accrued on said bonds; and that said judgments, together with the interest which has accrued thereon, at the rate of 6 per cent, per annum, since the ren- dition thereof, remain in full force and wholly unsatisfied.

Which provision of law was to remain in force until the whole of the city's indebtedness, and the interest to accrue thereon, was fully paid ; that by an act of the general assembly of this state, approved January 30, 1857, the said city council was authorized to levy and collect annually taxes not exeeeding 1 per cent, on the dollar on the assessed value of the taxable property within said city, to defray the general and contingent expenses, and to constitute a general fund of the city; and by the same act the city council was authorized to levy and collect taxes not exeeeding 1 per cent, on the dol- lar per annum on all property siibject to taxation, to meet the interest on the debt of the city ; and by an act of the legislature of this state, ap- proved February 16, 1865, the city council was authorized to levy and col- lect a tax of 1 per cent, on the dollar per annum on all property subject to taxation, which tax, when collected, shall be set apart for the sole and exclusive purpose of paying the interest upon the puplic debt of the city while the same is in existence.

That they did not bo present the draft hardly admits of a doubt on the proof, and the probability is that it was not presented becanse the bank at New Orleans took the same view of the law that bas been iirged here, namely, that re- fusai of acceptance ezcused presentment of payment, over- looking the f arther reqairement of protest and notice to have this effect; induced thereto, no doubt, by the fact that they had been instructed not to protest, from which it might be reasonably inferred that there was no neoessity for prompt action in the premises. The burden of proving the present- ment was on the defendant, and that there was no such proof ac the law requires is plain. 1 Daniell, Neg. Inst. § 598. There is as little doubt that if the presentment for payment had been made the draft would have been paid. The draft for the cash portion, which, by calculation, appears to have been just enough to eover the interest and agent'B commis- sions, was paid, and, as precisely the same course had been pursued in reference to the first premium, it appears, by the aceount of G-reen^ood, that that draft was not presented promptly, nor for some days after it was due. This, taken with the proof here as to the mode of business adopted in reference to this draft, shows that the agents of the company were not so diligent or prompt in their dealings with this policy-holder as to justify them in requiring strict and prompt action on his part. Here was a man in the wilds of Arkansas, where communication was difficult at all times, some hun- dreds of miles away from this city, where the insurance agenoy was jlocated, and many hundreds more away from the city where he did all his financial business and got the money to pay all his debts.

These cases were relied on by the plaintiffs to show that the company not havjjig claimed a for- feiture, by giving notice of it, none had occurr^ed; or, at least, it had been, on the facts of this case, waived. It is plain, however, that the clatise under consideration protect^ this policy from the prinoiple of these cases sq far as they relate to a requirement of notice, and that it is self-forfeiting with- out sueh notice. The language of the clause itself makes it clear that it does not refer to. notice required by the com- mercial law to parties to the draft, but notice to "any party pr parties interested herein"' — that is, in the policy,- and it means that the forfeiture shall enure without notice to the plaintiffs, and I so charged the jury. It would be interesting, perhaps, to f ollow up the effect of the holding of the court in this case in its application to other situations of the parties not shown by the proot; as, for exam- ple, if the draft had been negotiated by the company and the holder had neglected to present, or if it had been aecepted and the acceptors had failed to pay. But it is not necessary to test the Boundness of the charge by such means. It will be found on thoughtful consideration, I think, to be consistent with any situation that is possible, to hold that this company •came, as, to this draft, under all the obligations of any ofher holder of such paper; and the minor points suggested in the argument I need not consider. One of the leamed counsel makes a plausible and forcible argument against the charge by insisting that the draft was iiot negotiable under the law merchant.

Edward B. Hill, Asst. Dist. Att'y, for plaintiff. Roger M. Sherman, for defendant Boyd. Blatohfobd, g. J. In this case a judgment was entered in this court, on the twelfth of October, 1872, agaiust the defendant, for $8,288.62. The judgment was on a verdict of a ]ury taken on a failure of the defendant to appear at the trial. The action was on a distiller's bond, on which the defendant Boyd was surety, and was founded on an assess- ment of a deficiency tax to make up the amount of spirits required as 80 per cent, of the producing capacity of the distillery as fixed by the survey, the survey being made under section 10 and the assessment under section 20 of the act of July 20, 1808. 15 St. at Large, 129, 133. In Feb- ruary, 1880, the defendant Boyd presented to this court affi- davits seeking to show that the extent of the actual capacity of the distillery, with thB- materials and implements used, did not exceed the quantity of spirits returned as produced ; and that, after the assessment for deficiency was made, and before this suit was brought, moneys were collected under a distraint made under the assessment, which were not credited in entering the judgment. On these affidavits a motion was made to open the judgment, and for another trial by a jury. The court, Shipman, J., (17 Blatchf. 451,) said that the only tenable reason for opening the judgment was the omission of the credits; that the court had power to correct such a mis- take on the authority of Crooks v. Maxwell, 6 Blatchf. 468; and that the judgment ought to be opened only for the pur- pose of allowing evidence to be given of payments made by the defendant Millinger out of his property, which ought to have been allowed and deducted from the face of the assess- ment of damages before entering the judgment, but not for the purpose of giving evidence of other defences to the claim of the plaintiff. It was urged to the court that, under the ruling of the supreme court in CUnkenbeard v. U. S. 21 Wall. 65, decided at the October term, 1874, the evidence as to the actual capacity of the distillery would have been competent if it had been offered at the trial of this suit, and that it was not offered because a course of decisions based on the<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> eh0yjlgifhtob2bm8pliuezkzgkiwv3 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/220 104 699088 15135430 8175294 2025-06-14T22:33:08Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: Tliis → This, AIi → AL , EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, ORTBB → ORTER, removed: � (16) 15135430 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>208; FQDSBAL REPORTER. . the doctrine of "known substitutes" was referred to.

But the learned eounsel for the exceptor claims that the doctrine of this case is only applicable to cases where thero has been a positive act, direct force, a collision ; but I do not see why a different principle should apply where the loss of a cargo by the sinking of the vessel is occasioned by the wrongful and neglectful act of the steamer towing her without collision, and where such wrongful and negligent acts resuit in a collision from which the sinking of the vessel is produced which results in the loss of the cargo, Phila.

This Jjeing so, can the insurer, who has paid to the insured the damages sustained by the wrongful act, and has obtained an assignment of the rights of the insured, maintain the action against the wrong-doer ? There is no privity existing between the insurer and the wrong-doer, and at law he might not maintain an action against him ; but in equity the insurer is subrogated to all the rights of the insured, and so acquires his claim against the injuring party. 2 Parsons' Maritime Law, 226; Hall v. Bailroad Co. 13 Wall. 367; Desty's Ad- miralty, 264. And being thus subrogated in all cases where the insured has the right against the authors of the injury, the insurer, on making good the loss, is entitled to enforce the remedy of the insured, although between him and the wrong-doer there is no direct relation or privity of contract upon which to found the action.

Each surety in the first instance justified as sufi5cient, but on examination proved to be ■worthless and was rejected. There was, in fact, a bold and persistent attempt on the part of the clainiants to obtain possession of property in the cus- tody of the court by substituting therefor a worthless stipu- lation. The examinations made necessary in order to defeat this attempt involved a very considerable outlay in the way of fees paid for searching for judgments and conveyances of real estate which the proposed sureties claimed to own ; and the question is whether these expenses can be taxed in the eosts. In a case like this, where there was good ground to believe that a fraud upon the court was being attempted, I think the expenditure for searches was justified, and should be taxed as part of the costs. So, also, I think it proper to allow the $50 dollars paid real estate brokers to examine real estate claimed to be of value, but found to be of little value, in order to enable the court to be infonued in respect thereto. Expenses incurred under a lawful order of court may be taxed as part of the costs, and inserted as part of the judg- ment against the losing party, {Neffv. Pennoyer, 3 Sawy. 336,) and, upon the eame principle, expenses made necessary in order to defeat an attempt to defraud the court may be taxed and allowed. Upon the presentation of the first surety, in view of what then appeared, the court, if applied to, would have in the first instance direoted that searches be made, not only as against that surety, but also against any others that might subsequently be offered by these elaimants. The notary's expenses of taking the voluminous examina- tions of the several sureties may also be allowed.

A mortgagor of a ship in possession with the consent of the mort- gagee is thereby authorized to malte any change, addition, or repair thereon necessary and convenient for her preservation and use as a ship, 80 that it does not wilfully depreciate her value as a security to the mortgagee ; and, in such case, the old material displaced by the new may be disposed of by the mortgagor as his property, unaft'ected by the mortgage. 2.

But in case said material is not thus disposed of, nndis lefton board and passes into the possession of the mortgagee with the vessel, and is capable of being used in some form in its ordinary navigation, it would still be within the operation of the mortgage and belong to the mortgagee. 3. Same. But if the old material, as such, is not suited for use in the naviga- tion of the vessel, the fact that the mortgagor allows it to remain on board does not show that he did not intend to withdraw it from the operation of the mortgage, and appropriate it in exchange for the new material put in its place. 4.

It is perfectly clear that the collision was the resuit of faulty navigation. There was no severe stress of weather which affords any reasonable excuse for its occurrence. It can only be accounted for on the ground that one party or the other, or both, violated those fundamental rules of navigation which have been so long established for the safety of the sea, and many of which have become a part of the laws of the United States by express enactment of the legislature. The proctor for the libellant claims that the case is one where the vessels were approaching each other, — the Maria & Elizabeth sailing with the wind free, and the Achoru close-hauled, — and that the rule of the sea in all such cases is that the ship sailing free must get out of the way of the one close-hauled. This bas doubtless been the law for many years, and bas now been incorporated in the sailing rules of navigation adopted by congress for the prevention of collis- ions. It appears as the exception of the seventeenth rule, (see Eev. St. § 4233.) Handaysyde v. Wilson, 3 Car. & P. 528; 1 Par. Ship. & Ad. 195; The Clement, 2 Curt. 363; St. John \. Payne, 10 How. 557; The Ossio, 8 Ben. 518; The Eebecca, 1 Blatchf. & H. 347. In this last case Judge Betts says: " A cardinal rule of navigation, recognized by eniinent authorities, is that a vessel running free, and approaching another going in an oppo- site direction in the wind, must give way to the latter, or bear the conse- quences of a colHson, unless such collision be clearly produced by the misfeasance of the vessel that is close-hauled." The same learned judge subsequently {The Brig Emily, Olcott, 138) said : " The rule of law is explicit that a vessel ruuning with the wind free must take the risk of avoiding another sailing in the wind, when the two meet in opposite courses, if the free vessel has the opportunity and means, if properly used, of so doing. Indeed, the usage for the vessel to hold her course, and for the one sailing free to give way in such case, has be- come a rule of law which imposes the losses and damage occasioned by<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> d7zq7dx3p0kizx2bwxb604x6km6bnjb Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/280 104 699189 15135438 10426054 2025-06-14T22:33:16Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PEDEBAL → FEDERAL, EEPO → REPO, POBTER → PORTER, removed: � (13) 15135438 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>268 FEDERAL REPORTER. \ ers, by their counsel, in moving for the order which the state court made, and the contents of such order, show that the objection made is of no force in this court. 2.

This suii was brought in a court of the Htate against the defendants, as copartners, to recover $8,000 as damages for injury to the person of the plaintiff. The complaint alleges • That the plaintiff was passing along the sidewalk in front of the defendants' place of business, where they buy and sell flour; that the defendants were, at the time, taking barrels of flour intotheir said store from a truck standing nearthe curbstone, and in front of said store ; that they obstructed the sidewalk and made it dangerous and created a nui- sance, in that they allowed a person on said truck to negligently roll bar- rels of flour down a pair of skids ; that a barre) struck the plaintiff while she was passing between the store and the truck, and nsing due care ; and that she was thereby irreparably and permanently injured in her person.

Mead, for plaintiff. J. F. Harrison, iox defendants. Blatchfoed, C. J. The only objection to the jurisdiction of this court herein is that the petition for removal made by the plaintiii states that he desires to remove the suit into this court in pursuance of section 639, subd. 3, of the Ee- vised Statutes of the United States, and that he did not file in the state court an affidavit as to prejudice or local in- fluence, as required by that subdivision. The prayer of the petition is that the suit may be removed "pursuant to the aforesaid act." The petition states facts which make ont a case for removal under the first clause of section 2 of the act of March 3, 1875, (18 St. at Large, 470.) The plaintiff was, at the time the suit was brought, a citizen of Pennsylvania, and the defendants were then — some of them — citizens of New York, and the rest citizens of Massachusetts, The mistake in the petition, by referring to the wrong stat- ute, is unimportant, when the facts set forth in it make a case for removal under the act of 1875.* - The defendants contend that there is no existing statute, but section 639 of the Revised Statutes, under which a re- moval of a suit can take place ; that in the second edition of the Revised Statutes, published in 1878, under authority of the act of March 2, 1877, (19 St. at Large, 268,) there is in the margin, opposite section 639, a reference to the act of *See upon this point Buckman v. liuckman, 1 Fed.

On the sixteenth of August, 1867, after the making of the agreement, the liquidators delivered the said eight steam-ships to the steam-ship company. From that time forward the latter company dealt with said ships as its own property, and managed them, and received th& freights, and entered them in its own name in clearances, and advertised them in its own name, and acted as owner of thenx. The Navigation Company ceased to do business on the sixteenth of August, 1867. The Steamship Company commenced business on that day, and opened a set of books, in which its transactions were entered. The whole of th& officiais of the Navigation Company became officiais of the Steam>8hip Company. There was at the time no formai writ- ten transfer or bill of sale of the vessels made, other thaa said written agreement. "The Steamship Company, limited," was incorporated by that name, under the companies' act, 1862, on the first of July, 1867. With the sanction of a special resolution passed by it, and with the approval of the board of trade, its nam& was, under section 18 of the said act, changed, and it waa thereafter called "The National Steam-ship Company, lim- ited," and its new name was entered on the register of joint- stock companies, acoordingly, by the registrar of joint-stock companies, and he gave a certificate to the above effect on the eighth of August, 1867. On the fifteenth of April, 1869,, the secretary of the National Steam-ship Company, limited, addreBsed a letter, under the seal of that company, to the registrar of shipping at the custom-house at Liverpool, re- questing that the said eight steamers "at present registered in the name of the National Steam Navigation Company,, limited, be transferred to the National Steam-ship Company, limited, the lirst-named company having been reconstituted under the latter name, and being in process of liquidation."^ This application was accompanied by a certificate of the incorporation of the Steam-ship Company, limited, and a cer- tificate of Buch change of its name to the National Steam»<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 7s4w5dq6t7bl6w9mqk2ayuegqk1mltm Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/304 104 699247 15135442 8175381 2025-06-14T22:33:20Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (7) 15135442 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>292 FSDBBAI' BEiPORTER. 133 the liquidators, who were appointee! by the resolution of July 9, 1867, took the place of the directors, and all the power of the directors ceased after the fifteenth of August, 1867. Therefore, although the Navigation Company continued to be a corporation after August 15, 1867, neither its directors nor any agent could, after that date, represent it by any act, in any suit, in respect of a cause of action which acerued after that date, especially one arising after it had parted with all its property, including the vessel out of whose navigation the cause of action arose. There was, therefore, no identity between the two companies for the purpose of the equitable satisfaction by the new eom- pany of the judgment against the old company. In respect to causes of action arising after August 15, 1867, the defend- ant did not take the property as trustee for the old company, or for persons who might have such causes of action, but took it as its own, liable to respond itself in suits directly against itself, and only in such suits for such causes of action. Identity of business, and adoption of individual offi- cers and officiais, and the use of the old property, and the action of Mr. Hurst in calling himself, on December 16, 1867, the "only managing agent in the United States" of the Navigation Company, cannot vary the case. As has already appeared, the ownership of the vessels was not vested in the Navigation Company when the plaintifif's judgment was re- covered or when her cause of action acerued. On the foregoing premises it is not true, as is contended by the plaintifi, that the judgment against the Navigation Company, though involving the question as to whether the Pennsylvania belonged to that company at the time of the collision, is res adjudicata as against the Steam-ship Com- pany. The fact that the latter company was transferee of the Pennsylvania did not make it either a party or a privy to the suit, or a trustee for the old company in respect of the cause of action, the suit being one in personam. The Steam- ship Company had no right to defend the suit or to control its proceedings. The Pennsylvania was not seized in the suit.

The plaintiff bas no lien on, or a claim against, or equity in respect of, any property received by the defendant which she ia entitled to enforce in this suit. There is nothing in the point that Eowe and Dixon are not parties to thia suit. No such objection is taken in the an- swer. It was previously taken by plea and overruied. It is very clear that they are not necesSary or proper parties. The company bas been wound up and dissolved, and their func- tions are ended. No relief is prayed in regard to them. The defendant contends that the questions in this suit are res adjudicata between the parties by reason of the judgment in the Miller suit. The plaintiff, citing Harris v. D,, L. d W. E. Co. 61 N. Y. 656, contends that the discontinuance of the suit after judgment destroyed the effect of the judgment. It is not necessary to pass on this point. The proceedings in the admiralty suit cannot operate as res adjudicata. They are not so pleaded. The cause of action was different from that in the in personam suit, and the judg- ment in the latter suit was reeovered before the decree in the admiralty suit was entered. I have earefully considered all the questions in this case, and the conclusion ia that the bill musi be dismissed, with costs. LOVEBIDGB V. LaRNBD. {Circuit Court, S. D. Nea York. April 28, 1881.) 1.

The company had authorized it, or at least had sanc- tioned it, by a.cceptano6 of the payment. With reference to the premium due August 23, 1877, he received no notice to do otherwise. A notice that the premium would be due on that day, and that the holder of the policy might pay it at the office of the company in New York, or to an agent who should produce areceipt signed byan officerof the company, was mailed by the conapany, but it was not addressed to the complainant, and was not received by him. This was no fault of his. The agent to whom he oiiered to pay the pre- mium refused to accept it. This, under the circumstances, "was the refusai of the company. In the beginning, then, we find that the assured was deprived of the opportunity to pay his premium on the day it was due, and thereby keep his policy in force, by refusai of the company to accept the premium. Moreover, the agent informed the assured that the business of the company would be or then was in the hands of a receiver, and advised him not to make any more payments until the business of the company should be set- tled. Perhaps the agent was not authorized thus to speak for the company, but it is still a material fact that this infor- mation and advice emanated from one with whom the assured ■was authorized to deal as the local representative of the com- pany; and the assured, it appears, was led to rely and rest upon this information. Meantime, the fact was that proceed- ings had been instituted and were then pending in the courts of New York for a dissolution of the corporation; and, on the very day the assured was seeking to paythe premium on his pol- icy in Wisconsin, the company was enjoined in New York from «xercising its corporate rights, privileges, and franchises, ex- cept in certain very limited particulars. It is true that on July 18, 1877, an order was made permitting policy-holders to pay thetr premiums to the United States Trust Company ; but again, by the fault of the inaurance company, notice of this •order was mailed under the wrong address, and was never<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 7pbhtp5jq8g3y5urq8zvb6n0p9i5k8t Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/324 104 699298 15135448 8175404 2025-06-14T22:33:25Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PEDEBAL → FEDERAL, PORTBR → PORTER, DERAL BE → DERAL RE, removed: � (14) 15135448 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>312 FEDERAL REPORTER.

COTJET MaBTIAL — JtTRISDICTIOIT. , The jurisdiction of a general court-martial may always be inquired into by the civil courts, upon the application of any party aggrieved by its judgment, and if such a court exceeds its authority, and under- takes to try and punish a person not within its jurisdictioii, its judg- ment is void, and may be so declared by any court having jurisdiction of the proper parties and of the subject-matter. 2.

The petitioner was, on the sixth of September, 1878, an enlisted soldier in the army of the United States, on duty in Wyoming territory, and on that day unlawf ully assaulted and shot another soldier. For this olience he was arrested and held in custody, under charges properly preferred, awaiting the appointment and convening of a court-martial until the following March, 1879, when he was bronght before a court martial, convicted, and sentenced to five years' imprisonment in the Kansas penitentiary, where he is now confined, in the custody of respondent, as warden, in pursuance of said sen- tence. Between the time of the commission of said crime and the prisoner's arrest and the commencement of his trial his term of enlistment expired.

The third defence stated is that the same cause of action pending is before the supreme court of Missouri, during the pendency of which a transfer of the alleged title was made to this plaintiff. If the allegations were of a collusive transfer, in fraud of jurisdiction, that question, it is contended, should be raised in abatement. Even if that were the rule, strictly, the aver- ment is not suf&oient to raise the question. It is not averred that there was a collusive transfer, or that the plaintiflE was not, at institution of this suit, the owner in fee. The demurrer is sustained. United States v. Labette Countt.

" The remedy is, in ]aw and in theory, adequate and perfect. The difflculty is in its execution only.

It is Buggeated, by c&unsel for the relator, that the board of county commissioners are authorized, by the tenus of section 6, c. 107, Laws of Kansas of 1876, to levyand col- lect the taxes necessary to pay the judgment. That section is as follows : "Wheneyer any honds shall be.issued in pursuance of the foregoing provisions,' it shall be the duty of the board of county commissioners, or themayor aM counsel of the city, to levy and collect annually, in addition to other taxes, a tas on all taxable property in such county, township, or city, sufflcient to pay the interest on ^uch bonds as the same shall become due, and to create a sinking f und sufflcient to pay said bonds at maturity ; and such tax shall be collected as other taxes are collected, and paid out by the treaSurer, upon presentation of the coupons or bonds when due at the treasurer's office, or at such place as may be specified in the petition or proposition herein mentioned." This section prescribea no new mode of collecting and paying over these particular taxes. It must be construed as applying the machinery afforded by pre-existing laws to the collection and disbursement of the taxes provided for in that act. True, it provides in general terms that the board of county commissioners shall "levy and collect" the taxes, but it also, in the same sentence, declares that "such taxes shall be collected as other taxes are collected." This laat provision only makes clear what would probably have been the mean- ing of the section without it, since a general provision direet- ing the board of commissioners to collect a particular tax could hardiy be held to go further than to require them to proceed, according to law, to perform that duty through the proper officers and agenciea. The section further provides that the tax, when collected, shall be "paid out by the treas- urer on presentation of the coupons or bonds when due at the treasurer's ofSce," etc., which clearly shows that the board of county commissioners were not empowered to per- form that duty.

Section 1300 of the Compiled Laws of Nevada is a rule of decision. Kirkpatrick & Stephens, for plaintiff. Robert M. Clarke, for defendant. HiLLYER, D. J. This is a motion to vacate the satisfaction of judgment entered herein, set aside the sale, and revive the judgment to the extent of $4,000. It is based upon a peti- tion, and by agreement of counsel has been submitted upon the petition and the answer thereto. The petition presented a case of total failure of title, and a demurrer to it was over- ruled. The answer makes the following case, which is agreed to as true : The property was sold by the marshal, September 3, 1879, and at that time Withington, the defendant, had entered into a time contract with the State of Nevada, under section 3820 of the Compiled Laws, for its pur- chase, and had made at least one annual payment. The contract was still in force. McWilliams bought the property for $4,000, and, on receipt of $2,000 in addition, entered satisfaction of the whole judgment on Octo- ber 9, 1879, and In March, 1880, rcceived the marshal's deed. On Novem- ber 17, If 79, no annual payment having been made by either Me Williams or Withington, the state, as it had a right to do under the law, sold the lands to other parties and issued patenta about December 16, 1879 ; so that at the date of the marshal's deed Withington had no interest in the property.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> kmht5nvub4gx53ba1xmvhtbpi72yg9e Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/344 104 699346 15135453 8175425 2025-06-14T22:33:30Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EPORTEB → EPORTER, PBD → FED, FEDEBA → FEDERA, DERAL BE → DERAL RE, removed: � (7) 15135453 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>332 FEDERAL REPORTER. being in regard to the plaintiff's excuse for not doing work in 1880, after the daim was forfeited under the mining lawa of the United States. It is agreed that no work was in fact donc on the claim by the plaintiff after October, 1878. The claim was originally located January 3, 1876. January 22, 1880, congress amended the mining law by adding the follovv- ing words to section 2324, Eey. St. : '^Providnd, that the period within which the work required to be done annually on all unpatented minerai claims shall commence on the flrst day of January succeeding the date of location of such claim; and this section shall apply to all claims locatud since the tenth day of May, A. D. 1872." . . •■ It was faintly argued that this proviso gave the plaintiff the whole of the year 1880 in which to do work, although none had been done in 1879. The objectof this proviso was to make awnQiiiform poriod for the annual work on all" claims located since May 10, 1872, and fixed the first of January next succeeding the date of location as the time of its com- meneemient. A claim^located. as this was, January 3, 1876, would not require any labor to be done on it under this pro- visobefore Dec'ember 31, 1877. Before the proviso, work had to be done by January 2, 1877. But in this casino question ia 4iiad« las, to the work.being. done. upio January 3, 1880. The IftBttwdrk done in Octobei', 1878, held the claiin until Jan- uary 3, 1879. As the law then stood, work was required before, January 3, 1880, and, not havirig been' done, the claim was forfeited uniess work were resumed as the law provided. The law of January 22, 1880, did not, in my judgment, act retro ^pectively, and its first application to the plaintiff's claim would have been January 1, 1881. Claims located prior to May 10, 1872, had already been provided for byextending the time for the annual expenditure thereon to January 1, 1875. 18 St. 61. By applying the law of January 22, 1880, to all claims located since May 10, 1872, all cases were pro- vided for, and a rule for all annual expenditures established uniform with the calendar year. This is the view of the general land-office, and is undoubtedly correct. Sickles' Mining Laws and Decisions, 1881, pp. 392, 393.

But that is not this case. Had Harpham, instead of visiting Perasich at the Tilden mine, gone to plaintiff's mine and begun work, at the worat he would have had to leave when ordered off. There is not the least probability that he would have been injured in his person if he had been willing to do this with- out resistance. I have no doubt, from the testimony, that had Harpham at this time commenced work on the claim resolutely, the defendants would never have interfered with him. At all events, I find that his fears of personal violence had no sufficient foundation, and did not justify him in de- clining to m^ke an effort. It follows that the claim was open to relocation on the twenty-seventh day of September, 1880, when, according to the agreed statement of facts, it was re- looated by the defendant Thomas Perasich. Another view of this case is this : The complaint alleges an ouster on the twenty-fifth day of November, 1879, by the defendants. Now, it would have been sufEcient to have shown such an ouster, and, if continued as alleged to the time of bringing this suit, it would have been unneces- sary to show that work had been performed by the plaintiff so long as the defendants withheld possession; because, in November, 1879, there had been no forfeiture. The plain- tiff, then, shoald have stood upon proof of these facts, if they could have been established. But I presume that it had no sufBcient proof of them, for it was distinctly admitted, as has been before stated, that ujiless work was done after Jan- uary 3, 1879, or such an attempt to work as amounted to the same thiug, the claim had been forfeited. The ouster, admitting one to have been proved, was in June; the proof consisting of an alleged statement by Thomas Perasich, seven miles from the claim, that he was in possession. But the plaintiff sought to establish a possession in defendants, and claims that it did so. It was obliged to show possession in the defendants at the time of bringing this suit or f all in it. Upon its own theory, that the defendants were in possession.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> q7umdb7k68up6fsl3792dsyqjbymk1b Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/360 104 699386 15135455 8175443 2025-06-14T22:33:32Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EBPO → REPO, POBT → PORT, PORTEB → PORTER, removed: � (9) 15135455 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>348 FEDERAL REPORTER, ants, and, among other things, sold these five machines. It is testified that they were not supposed to be of any value, and they were not used by the defendants, but remained in their lumber-room, as I understand, until after this suit was brought. Forehand swears that he notified the defendants' agent, who conducted the negotiation on their part, that he doubted whether he had any right to sell them these ave machines. It seems, then, that the defendants, though they bought the five machines of persons who themselves had a right to use them, obtained no such right. This disposes of the nice point of law as to the measure of damages, in the use of five new machines, by a person who had a right to use five old ones ; as well as of the deduction of about $4,000, which the master reported as an alternative finding, if it should be held that no profits made by the use of the five machines themselves were to be included in the decree. The ingenions argument, from the dates and contents of written papers, to prove that the commissioner of patents must have been deceived and defrauded concerning the state of the title when he granted the extension, needs the support of actual evidence of fraud. I have considered all the other points presented, but do not find it necessary to refer to them in detail. I do not find that either the original decree or the master's report has been successfully assailed, and I affirm the finding of profits as assessed at $40,367.26.

The determination as to the person entitled to take the money from the registry, will, of necessity, involve the question of the claimant's right to the property which the money representa; and this is the very question sought to be raised by the libel. I see no objection to the joinder in a single action of the proceeding against the vessel and the proceeding against the cargo, inasmuch as both proceedings arise out of the same transaction, and it is not seen that the right of the parties can be afifected by the joinder, Without, therefore, expressing a final opinion either in regard to the liability of the vessel or the juriediction of the court in the matter of the cargo, the order now made will be that the case proceed to a hearing upon pleadings and proofs, with liberty to the claimants at such hearing to raise and reargue either of the questions last above mentioned, in view of the facts as they may appear in evidence, ..j, *See, also, TUlmore V.

The separate plea in bar of the defendant Park to that part of the bill praying for an injunction against him in re- spect to the notes given for the settlement of the claims of the minois Tunnel Company, that the complainant has com- menced a suit against him to recover damages upon the same cause of action, which suit proceeded to a judgment in favor of the defendant, is clearly had, because it appears, by the record filed with and made part of the plea, that the judgment was rendered upon a nonsuit of the plaintiff, and not upon the merits. It is therefore no bar to a new suit upon the same cause of action, nor does it estop or conclude the plaintiff as to the facts alleged both in that action and in this suit as the ground or cause of action. 3. The second separate plea in bar to the same part of the bill last above referred to, is based onthe judgment recovered in the district court of the third judicial district of the terri- tory of Utah, upon the same notes, the collection of which is here sought to be restrained by injunction. Whether this judgment is binding and conclusive upon the complainant, depends upon the question whether the court acquired juris- diction of the person of the defendant in the action, the pres- ent complainant. The plea avers that the said defendant Park, plaintiff in that action, "caused the service by sum- mons in said action to be made by the United States marshal for said district upon the orator, through its duly authorized agent resident in said Sait Lake county aforesaid." By set- ting the plea down for argument, this averment is admitted to be true, except so far as the record, since produced and made part of the plea, shall contradict the averment. The record contains nothing inconsistent with this averment. On t' e contrary, the record recites that the defendant, the Emma Silver Mining Company, (limited,) was regularly served with process and failed to appear and answer, and accordingly judgment was entered by default against the defendant.

The plea, however, further alleges that the judgment has been satisfied by the sale on execution issued under said judgment of the property of the complain- ant, being the same property -which is sought to be recovered by the decree of rescission. The bill avers, in reference to this sale on execution, that the property was bid in by one Lincoln, as the agent, and for account of the defendant Park. It is suggested on behalf of the defendants that the fact of the sale on execution of the subject-matter of the contract sought to be rescinded, which fact must be held to be admitted by setting down this plea for argument, puts an end to complain- ant's right to rescind, because it makes it impossible for com- plainant to restore the property to defendants upon a rescis- sion. This point, however, is immaterial, so far as this plea is ooncerned, for this is not a plea to the bill as a bill for rescis- sion, and therefore the question cannot be raised on this plea whether the complainant is entitled to rescind. It must be assumed for the purpose of this plea that there may be a decree of rescission. Aside from this consideration, I see no reason why, if the defendant Park took the property imder the sale in execution, as is in effect alleged in the bill, with full knowledge of the equitable rights of complainant to have the original sale rescinded, the defendant Park may not be treated in equity as having bought the property subject to those equitable rights. By suffering judgment to be taken against it in that action the complainant cannot be deemed to have consented to or joined in the transfer of the property under the sale on execution, nor to have waived or forfeited its equities against one having full notice of them. It is enough, however, to say that the question, though disoussed by counsel, does not fairly arise on this plea. The record must be held to estop the complainant from availing itself against the defendant Park of the facts averred in the bill which would have constituted a valid defence at law to a suit for the recovery of these<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> k0eukhqdeplfgu5jdkersoyjafb4gfl Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/430 104 699558 15135460 14627706 2025-06-14T22:33:37Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, ORTBB → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (6) 15135460 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>418 IBDBEAL REPORTER. alleged in the bill, and ajso the commencement of the other suit in this court brongbt against the defendant Park, among pther things to reoover damages for failure on bis part to daliver certain ores mentioned in the contract of sale, and therein agreed to be delivered to complainant, and whicb, by the original contract of sale, the defendant Park bound bim- self peisonally to deliver.

The first question raised under this plea is as to the meaning and scope of the plea itself. It is insisted by the d€>fendant8 that the plea, should be sustained on the grpund that the facts therein alleged show laches and inex- cusable delay on the part of the complainant in bringing this suit. The plea indeed avers that this suit was not commenced until November, 1877, about 6 years after the sale sought to be rescinded. The averment of the time of the commence- ment of the suit for the purpose of showing that it was after the commencement of those prior suits, which are relied upon asindicating or constituting an election to affirm the contract, was a proper averment in a plea designed to raise the defence of an election to affirm the sale by the bringing of those suits ; and it is not to be argued from this averment that the plea was intended also as a plea of laches. The plea itself states with great exactness the point by way of defence to which its averments are designed to converge, namely, the affirmance of the sale by electing to take remedies inconsistent with ita rescission. This is a different defence from laches or delay in proceeding to bring the suit to rescind. Moreover, the court refused to allow a plea qi laches or of general acquies- cence to be filed, and if the plea were ambiguous, as it is not, it would be construed as being designed to be in conformity with the leave to plead given by the court ; nor could it be con-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> gqkkonp3davutjzz1av8vad7rdoqmsc Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/442 104 699574 15135461 8175534 2025-06-14T22:33:38Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, removed: � (5) 15135461 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>430 KBZpByUi SEPORT£B. against the Spartanburg & Asbeyille Eailroad Company, J. B. Cleveland, and W. H. Inman, trustees named in the mort- gage, and Eice & Coleman, Fry & Deal, E. Clayton, and John Garrison, creditors of the Spartanburg & Asheville Eailroad, as contraotors, laborers, and material men, for the foreclosure of the mortgage to secure said bonds. The defendant corpo- ration was formed by the consolidation of the Spartanburg & Asheville Eailroad Company, of South Carolina, and the Greenville & Prench Broad Eailroad Company, of North Car- olina, July 31, 1874. The stockholders of the Spartanburg & Asheville Eailroad Company, August 9, 1876, adopted a resolution in regard to placing a mortgage on the road, which was followed on the same day by the adoption of a similar resolution by the board of directors. The mortgage, securing bonds to the amount of $670,000, was executed October 1, 1876, by the president affixing the seal of the company, and signing, " The Spartanburg & Asheville Eailroad Company, by D. E. Duncan, President." W. K. Blake signed it as sec- retary and treasurer of the company, and W. H. Inman and John B. Cleveland, the trustees, also signed it and affixed their seals. Afterwards, but prior to September 28, 1878, two of the directors afSxed their hands and seals. This mortgage was duly registered in Spartanburg county, South Carolina, June 20, 1877. The master finds that the mortgage was duly registered in Buncombe eounty, North Carolina, November 25, 1878; in Henderson county, North Carolina, November 23, 1878 ; in Polk county, North Carolina, November 22, 1878. Six hundred and forty-twothousand dollars of the bonds passed out of the hands of the company; $4,500 becoming the property of plaintiff V. E. Tommey. Six hundred and fifteen thousand dollars were held as collateral. The mortgage provided that the whole amount of the bonds shonld fall due upon default in the payment of interest for six months. De- fault was made, upon which this suit was b'rought. Fry & Deal entered into a contract with the Spartanburg & Asheville Eailroad Company, June 2, 1877, to build four trestles on the line of the road in Polk county, North Carolina, and the work<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> dh90qpklv5rnierewkrfx9mu2sbujgn Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/454 104 699586 15135462 8175546 2025-06-14T22:33:39Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: AIi → AL , POBT → PORT, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (7) 15135462 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>442 . FKDBBAL REPORTKB. , DtJNDT, D. J. This suit ie based upon 122 coupons, eacb for the 8um of $25, which were detached from a series of bonds of $500 each, voted by the people of Juniata precinct,. and issued for and 04 behalf of said precinct by the county commissioners of Adaois county, to aid in the erection of a steam grist^mill. It is shown by the petition that on the twenty-sixth day of November, 1872, an election was held in said precinct, at which time bonds to the amount of $6,000' were voted, and that on the same day bonds were issued in that sum for the purpose aforesaid; that the bonds and cou* pons were porchased by the plaintifif before due, without notice, and for a Valuable consideration, and that the same are wholly unpaid. The defendant demurs to the petition, and two important questions are presented for consideration by the demurrer: First. Has the court jurisdiction to hear and determine the matter in dispute betwepn the parties? and, second, do tha facts stated in the petition constitute a cause of action, and JHstify a recovery against the defendant; or, rather, against the precinct represented by the defendant ? The defendant has not seen proper to state just why th& court is without jurisdiction in the premises, but I conolude that it is because of the supposed want of authority to pro- ceed against a county to enforce the payment of a bond issued on behalf of a precinct. It is clear enough that the laws of this state authorize the qualified voters of an election precinct to vote for the issuing of bonds for specified purposes, and when properly voted they are to be issued by the county commissioners of the county in which the precinct may be situated. It is equally clear that an election precinct, f ormed under the laws of this state, has no corporate existence. Such a political subdivision is formed for mere convenience of vot- ing. It cannot sue or be sued, because it has no offieers of its' own to prosecute or defend a suit. The supreme court of this state has given an authoritative exposition of the law upon this subject, and that must be deemed conclusive until otherwise decided by the highest judieial tribunal in the land. This court, too, at the present term, has held the law to ba-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 6ao9krxla35nwgnvnzu8pp3cou9l7sb Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/464 104 699596 15135464 8175557 2025-06-14T22:33:41Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDBB → FEDER, TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (7) 15135464 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>e52 FEDERAL REPORTER. is set aside and a new trial is granted. The very granting of a new trial implies that the proceedings which resulted in the prior verdict was a trial. The docket fee is allowed for "a; trial." Each trial is a trial, and a docket fee of $20 for each trial is allowable now, although the verdict at the first trial was for the plaintiff, and although the first verdict for the defendant was set aside. The present verdict for the defend- ant gives him a right to now tax in his favor the three docket fees. The practice in the state courts of New York is to the same effect. Hamilton v. Butler, i Rob, 654; Strong v. Day, H How. Pr. Eep. 390; Howell v. Van Siclen, 8 Hun. 524. Note. In the Say Oity, 3 Ped. Rhp. 47, the court held that the fee was taxable under section 824, whenever the trial was entered upon by the swearing of a jury in a common-law case, or by the introduction of tes- timony, or the final opening of the argument upon a final hearing in equity or admiralty. " The fee," said the court, " is not made by the statute to depend upon a judgment or decree, but is taxable on a trial or final hearing." The fee was therefore allowed in that case, which was a suit in admiralty, upon a discontinuance by the libellant after the evi- dence upon both sides had been concluded. In Shafer v. Oarr, 6 Fbd. Rep. 466, in an action by an assignee to recover the assets of a bankrupt, two trials were had, but the jury disagreed in both instances, and the case was flnally discontinued. Under these circumstances it was held that there had been no " trial before a jury," within the terms of section 824, which would authorize a taxation of a docket fee of $20. Ih this connection, a reference to the case of Osborn v. Osborn, 5 Fed. Ref. 389, may not be inappropriate. In that suit, which was equitable in its characler, certain questions had been submitted to a jury, uuder the provisions of a state statute, but by reason of a disagreement no verdict was found. The court there held that there had been no such final hear- ing or trial in the state court as would prevent the case from beini^ removed into the federal court under the provisions of the "Local Preju- dice Act." " The verdict of the jury," said the court, " becomes a neces- sary part of the final trial of the case." — [Ed.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 27fa774beck0osrat5fwyyfnol8ce5t Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/468 104 699600 15135465 8175561 2025-06-14T22:33:42Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EEPORT → REPORT, removed: � (13) 15135465 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>456 FiaDEUili REPORTER. 2. ■ Same— Receipt OB' Uistilled Spihits — Uev.

Information. Motion in arrest of judgment and for a new txial. Benediot, D. J. The defendant was prosecuted under Eev. St. § ,3317, as amended by the act of March 1, 1879, (20 St. at Large, 339,) by an information containing three counts, and was convicted upon the first and third counts. In the first count he was charged with having carried on the busi- ness of a rectifier of distilled spirits at a certain time and place, with intent to defraud the United States of the tax on distilled spirits rectified by him. In the third count he was charged with having received at a certain time, at No. 623 West Twenty sixth street, in this city, from some person, to the district attomey unknown, certain spirits which had been unlawfully removed from a distillery to a place other than the distillery warehouse provided by law, to-wit, to the place above described, knowing and having reasonable grounds to believe that the tax on said spirits had not been paid as required by law.

Neither is it ground for arrestiog the judgment. "A motion in arrest o£ judgment ceia be grounded only on some objec- tion arising on the face of tiie record, and no defect in the evidence, or irregularity at the trial, can be urged at this state of the proceedings." Heard on Criminal Pleading, 316. Moreover, this is not the case of an omission to name the defendant or the party injured, It was not necessary to set forth the name of the person who delivered the spirits to the defendant, provided the act of receiving was otherwise suffi- ciently described. The statute punishes the act of receiving without regard to.the manner of receiving or to the person making the delivery. Bvery form of receiving is made pun- ishable, and evidence as to vrho was the person making the delivery is not necessary to a conviction. The averment in the information that the person who delivered the spirits to the defendant was unknown to the district attorney was un- necessary, and did not require to be proved. Mueh stress has also been laid upon the fact disclosed by the record that Samuel E. Walsch, one of the persons sum- moned to attend, the court as a juror at the January term, and who had been in attend ance at court on the da'y the trial commenced, and whose name was drawn from the jury-box in due order of lot'to try the defendant, had departed the court without leave, whereupon it was insisted by the counsel for the defendant that the defendant was entitled to said Walsch as a juror, and objection was made to proceeding with the empanelling of the jury without said Walsch. The objection was overruled, and a jury was selected without said Walsch. No authority binding upon this court has been cited in support of this position taken in behalf of the defendant, and we are not inclined to be the first to declare a rule which would put it in the ppwer of a juryman, by departing from liie court room, to prevent the continuance of a trial until such time as he could be found and brought back to the court room.

The evi- dence does not leave a foundation for this argument, even if it was Sound. The workman is the only witness, and he tes- tifies that the contraot for putting in the wells was in writing, which he could not read, but which the defendant read as a contraot for putting in driven wells. It is further argued that, as the evidence shows the contract was in writing, which is not produced, the paroi evidence is not admissible, and that there is no legal evidence as to what the contract was. This argument might be well founded if the suit were upon the contract, but it was not. The question is not what was the contract, but is, what did the defendant procure the work- man to do? What he told the workman to do, or pretended to read from the contract that the workman was to do, if acted upon, would be a sufi&cient procurement, even if con- trary to the contract. The testimony of the workman might be contradicted by the defendant if not true, and, not being contradicted or explained away in any manner, it satis- faetorily proves the affirmative of the issue made by the pleadings. The defendant denies any profits, and insists that none are proved to lay the foundation of an accounting. None are proved beyond the presumption arising from the fact'of the putting the well down so that it could be used. This would raise a presumption that there were, or might have been, some profits, and the allegation that the transaction was not profit- able would not meet the presumption so as to defeat an accounting. The plaintiff would have the right to have the aocount taken, however it might resuit, left to him. Besides this, the act of 1870 (Eev. St. § 4921) provides for an account- ing for damages as well as profits, and there may b.e dam- ages to be accounted for in this case.

Piersmv- Magie Screw Co. 3 Story, 402, 408, The right to tJSe the thing patented is secured against an exteitsion of the patent to assignees and grantees by section 18;of the act of 1836, (5 St. at Large, 117.) This language is qnite as broad as that of the aot of 1839, and still, since the decision in McC^r<if v. Kingsland, it bas been held to eover particulaj: constructions, and not the right to practioe the invention. The lango^ge of the aot of 1839 does not seem capable of being extended beyond the use of particular things bought or made in cases of patents for substantive things, and it is not probable that McClwrg v. Kingsland would be followed beyond cases of its class upon the same Btatute. Wilson v. Bosseau, A How. 646. But in the act of 1870, section 37, (16 St. at Large, 203,— Eev. St. § 4899,) the right of a pereon consfcructing a patentable article, or pur- chasing it before the application for a patent, is limited to the right to use, or vend for use, the specifie thing. This may be considered as a legislative construction of the former acts; but, if notj.congress bas full power over the subject of pat- ents, unless it be as to the right to take away property se- cured by existing patents; and this act of 1870 may properly govem the right of reoovery in actions brought since its pas- sage. This -was expressly held, as to the act of 1836, in Me- Clurg V. Kingsland. So, in any view "which can be taken of this case, it does not seem that the defendant bas any right to this invention any further than to the extent of machines constructed prior to the application for the patent. It is urged that an infringement by the fire department of the city is not an infringement by the defendant, beeause that defendant was, under the law, a corporation of itself, over whiob the officers of the city had no control. It is understood, however, as was said in Allen v. The Mayor, etc., that the fire department was a mere agency of the city, hav- ing no funds of its own, and malsing no profits for itself apart from those of the city., If there are any gains and profits in the hands of any party to be aecounted for, under these cir- cumstances, on account of an infringement, they must be in<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ba4hb1mizyl00hmtgcb64jegh79pgig Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/498 104 699632 15135469 15129071 2025-06-14T22:33:46Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EBPO → REPO 15135469 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>486 FEDERAL REPORTER. motion for running the machinery in harvesters, seed drills, hay tedders, etc. The power was applied in these machines by the same deviees employed by Shireman, but, to utilize it in the hay rake, Shireman had also to employ a lifting device adapted for a horse rake. He found this lifting device in prior inventions; but he certainly made a combination which was new. Not only had not the same parts been em- ployed to do the same work before, but the mode of operation was new. It cannot be doubted that the new combination produeed a more efficient machine. There are, undoubtedly, cases where a combination may be made of parts never com- bined before, where no invention is involved. Such is the case where a well-known contrivance is used to perform a function exactly analagous to that in which it was formerly used. This is not such a case, and I am unable to doubt that thought and intellect reside in the conception. My principal difficulty bas been to determine which of the several claims embody correctly the subject of the patent. The first omits the lifting device, without which the other parts of the combination are useless, The second does not claim a patentable combination in view of the prior state of the art. The third omits the ratchets and pawls, and is so broad as to cover any devices by which a constantly revolv- ing axle can be secured in a hay rake. It would cover an axle made fast at both wheels. The fourth covers a lifting wheel in a horse rake which rotates constantly by power applied from both wheels when the rake is advanoing, "sub- stantially as described;" which means, when arranged and constructed substantially as pointed out in the specification. The fifth I construe as the equivalent of the fourth. The sixth should be construed as though the words "substantially as described" were added. The seventh and eighth include the pressure contrivance, which must be limited to the par- ticular construction described, or else is too broad, and if thus limited is not used by the defendants. A decree for an injunction and accounting as to the fourth, fifth, and sixth claims of the patent is ordered, which will be settled upon the usual notice.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> j05glilaiu50ozztkbg8yyuzu3at3ng Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/506 104 699652 15135471 8175604 2025-06-14T22:33:48Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDBB → FEDER, EDERAIi → EDERAL , TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (6) 15135471 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>48^ FEDERAL BSPORTER. fiimilar bills of lading, in Bets of four, were given and ac- cepted. The libellant's agent testified that of these four he had always sent ope to the libellant at Chicago, one to the agent of the underwriters of the cattle, one to the consignees at Liverpool, and had given the other to the foreman of the drovers on board. The case does not, as it seems to me, corne within the prin- ciple of any of the cases cited, in which it bas been held that, as between ship-owner and charterer, the charter-party should override the bill of lading in case of conflict between them. If, then, the bill of lading is to be treated as the evi- dence of th€! final contract between the parties in those par- ticulars in which it is not found to contradict the previous contract, we are to cousider ^vhether its effect is to release the ship-owner from contribution for the cattle if thrown overboard to save the ship ; and, if that is its meaning, is it 8uch a limitation of the carrier's liability as the court should aphold ? It is true that the defence made by the answer rests mauily npon the allegations that the cattle were cast over- board, not because they endanger^d the ship, but because they were either already dead or so nearly so as to be beyond hope of recovery. But this issue presents a question of fact naturally diffi,cult to determine from the evidence. Unques- tionably numbers of the cattle are shown to have been dead, or dyingj when thrown over. Ail were greatly exhausted from want of food and drink, from the violence of the blows they received from the broken timberg of the pens and from each other, and from being thrown about by the pitching and roll- ing of the vessel, and from being drenched with sait water. Whether any, and if so, how many, it would have been pos- sible, when the storm abated, to have resuscitated and deliv- ered in Liverpool in merchantable condition, it would be diffioult to determine. The five drovers employed by libellant, who were. on board in charge of the cattle, contradict the officera of the steam-ship, and now undertake to say that a majority of the cattle, or; at all events the 20 or 30 which were near the forecastle hood, could have been saved, but it is evident they are speaking now with much more confidence<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> iypc7ylti8k965qqs2txdypkobb3ved Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/510 104 699662 15135472 8175608 2025-06-14T22:33:49Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, FEDBB → FEDER, EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (6) 15135472 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>498 FEDERAL REPORTER. only istauding tuast so that it went over the side, and eut two holes in her that she might fill with water. The fire con- Bumed everything above the water line, but about 600 baies of cotton were left in the lower hold. This the libellants commenced to save, but had taken out but about 70 baies ■when a violent norther drove them from their work and they vrere' compelled to seek a harl)or. Upon their retum, two days after, they found that, although the anchors had held, the wreck had split in pieces and the cotton gone. One of the smacks, her master thinking it had gone adrift, followed the course of the gulf stream some 200 miles. The other vessels remained in the vicinity, and, as soon as the weather permitted, commenced searching the bottom by dragging and diving, and found that the cotton had been swept off but a short distance and sunk in water of from five to ten f athoms, where it lay scattered on the bottom. Two of the smacks then went to Key West, a distance of about 75 miles, to carry the cotton already saved, but in three or four days returned and again went to work. The other remained at work, and the one which had gone in search of floating cotton returned the fifth or sixth day, One remained, constantly engaged, and the others, after more or less delay, came back. None of them resumed their usual occupation of fishing. In the mean time some 12 other small vessels, whose owners and crews are respondents herein, arrived and went to work, with- out the original salvors making objection or having any understanding with them. They have saved, by naked diving and dragging the bottom, some 400 baies, which have been libelled and sold, and a «alvage of from 50 to 75 per cent, awarded, according to the depth of water and poQuliar eir- cumstanees attending the saving of eaeh lot. This libel prays a proportion of the salvage awarded all those not engaged in scuttling the vessel.

On her voy- age hither from France she had a collision, and soon after the arrivai of the vessel she was libelled in two suits — one by the maater of the vessel ■with which she was in collision, on behalf of himself and the owners ; and the other by the insurer on her cargo, to recover damages caused by the collision. The libel of the master was withdrawn. The other Hbel- ant proceeded, and, the vessel being in custody, the case was brought to trial and a decision was rendered November 10, 1880, dismissing the libel on the ground that the Adolph was not proved to be in fault, 4 Fbd. Rbp. 730. The libellant appealed. Thereupon the claimant made appli- cation for the release of the vessel, or for security against her detention pending the appeal. This application was denied November 50, 1880. 5 Fed. Rbp. 114. The master had communications with the owner, who resides at Stockholm, soon after his arrivai, and advised the owner of the seizure of the vessel, and thereafter of the siibsequent proceedingg. The vessel was appraised at $10,000, and partly because this was thought to be too high a valuation, but principally because, if she was bonded, she would still be liable to seizure in another port by the libellant, who had withdrawn his suit here, the owner determined not to give stipulation for value. It was not till about the 26th of December that the master was finally advised by the owner that he would furnish no money to pay oli the crew, and would not give bonds to release the vessel. Part of the crew were discharged by their own consent, and took service iii other vessels — one on the llth of Novenjber, and three on the lOth of Jatiuary. iliere was then due them for wages, to the time of their discharge, $613,85. The master and second mate and two seamen liavere^nained by the vessel to the present time. By the maritime code of Sweden the master has a lien on the vessel for his wages, and daims against vessel and freight rank as folio ws : (1) Wagea of master and erew ; (2) the aver-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> bwxdb3lv4dadzzvmd7re2v8aijhfqai Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/522 104 699691 15135474 8175621 2025-06-14T22:33:51Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, DERAL BE → DERAL RE, REFORT → REPORT, PORTEB → PORTER, removed: � (5) 15135474 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>510 FEDERAL REPORTER. ond attaoliment. The case of Tayhr v. Carryl, 20 How. 583, is relied on as controlling this case. That case, of course, is conclusive that the actual possession of chattels by the exec- utive officerof one jurisdiction, under his process, is so abso- lute as to exclude any concurrent possession under process by the executive officer of a court of another jurisdiction ; but I think the cases are not analogous, and that the principle of that decision does not apply to successive garnishments. The officer does not take possession of the fund upon service of the process, such as was had in this case. The relation of debtor and creditor still continues between the garnishee and the principal defendant. That relation is liable to be dis- charged by the judgment of the court applying the fund or debt to the satisfaction of the plaintiflF's demand. For this purpose the fund or debt is wholly under the control of the court making the first attachaient, and no subsequent attach- ment can interfere with such application of the fund, if found to be needed for that purpose ; and, in this case, this court, by service of the process, acquired the undoubted right to direct the fund to be paid into court. Its jurisdiction in a suit for seamen's wages is not affected even by a prior garnishment, {The Sailor Prince, 1 Ben. 234;) and while the attachment under the process of this court was, in some respects, and especially in its effect, something more than a garnishment, yet it is like a gamisnment in this : that the fund is not, by the service of the process, actually taken into custody. But a debt garnished may never be called in. The proceeding may not resuit in a judgment against the principal defend- ant, or, if it does, the judgment may be otherwise satisued. It seems to me, therefore, that there is no difficulty in a sec- cond garnishment whereby the fund will be bound ; subject, of course, to be defeated, if the fund is called in under the first garnishment. There is not here any danger of a con- juict for possession between courts and officers of two juris- dictions, nor any interference by one officer with the possession acquired by the other under his process, which is the control- ling reason on which the rule enforced in Taylor v. Carryl<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> e7wiqw39gzcrhuwakgq11yfct8w8kzv Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/528 104 699707 15135475 8175627 2025-06-14T22:33:52Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EPORTB → EPORTE, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (12) 15135475 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>516 FEDERAL REPORTER. point an agent ; and if he assumed to make such appointment without authority, he would be personallyresponsiblefor the conduct of his subordinate. If, however, the trust was one whioh could be delegated, he would be liable in his officiai capacity only, The substance of the law upon this subject is thus stated in Story on Agency, § 14 : " The true doctrine wHch is to be deduced from the decisions is, and it is entirely co-incident with the dictates of natural justice, that the authority of an agent is exclusively personal, unless from the express lan- guage used, or from the fair presumptions growing out of the transaction, or of the usages of the trade, broader power was intended to be con- ferred on the agent." See, also, Gommer cM Bank v. Norton, 1 Hill, 505. That the reoeiver of a railroad must act very largely through servants and agents in the ordinary business of the road is evident. He is in fact the superintendent and man- ager of the road, and the head of an army of employes whose duties are distinctly defined by usage and the necessities of the case. There can be no doubt of the power of the re- ceiver to appoint these agents, and if his appointments are made in the exercise of a reasonable judgment and discre- tion, he would not be liable personally for their negligences or misfeasances. But his authority to raise money upon certificates stands upon a different footing. His general authority as receiver gave Mr. Bancroft no power to issue these certificates. It could only be done under the power con- ferred by a special order of the court. It was his duty to prepare a form of certificate in conformity with this order, and to sell the securities upon the most favorable terms he could obtain. The preparation of the certificates involved very little in the way of skill or judgment. Their negotia- tion and sale, and the receipt of the moneys, were the im- portant features of the transaction. It was a personal trust which he had no right to delegate to another. It involved, not merely the sale of the certificates upon the best possible terms, but the safe-keeping of the moneys realized by such sale. If he had the power to authorize an agent to sell and receive the money upon this certificate, the receipt of the money by the agent would be a receipt by the receiver ; and :f the agent absconded with it, the receiver would incur no<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 2tmiiwfsctwwhsgo1zvgnct2nyp8eal Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/564 104 699794 15135476 8175667 2025-06-14T22:33:53Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: wcr → wer, EEPO → REPO, EPOET → EPORT, removed: � (8) 15135476 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>5i52.

Again, it may be said that all the articles mentioned in this clause are articles of dress, or of trimming and orna- ment ; and that, by the rule of noscitur a sociis, the webbings (it is webbing in the singular in the India-rubber clause) may be held to be certain particlar kinds of -vfebbing, used for similar purposes. A third argument is that elastic webbing bas been classi- fied with suspenders, etc., under the India rubber-clause, for nearly 40 years, and that it eannot be supposed that con- gress, in enacting the wool tariff of 1867, intended to change it. If, then, the clauses would, upon their face, appear re- pugnant, the wool clause should be construed to refer to web- bing which contains wool, and does not contain India rubber, especially as the latter is a very specifie and limited class, and as the goods in question derive their usefulness entirely from their elastio quality. The words in the elastic- webbing clause, "not otherwise provided for," seem to refer to other fabrics of India rubber, such as shoes and boots, which are mentioned two lines lower down, and pay a smaller duty. I gave too much weight to that qualification in Faxon v. Rus- sell, and was corrected by the supreme court. Though the wool clause was historically later in its origin than the India- rubber clause, they stand together in the Revised Statutes, and form part of one contemporaneous enactment. Steadiness in the rules and methods of taxation is very important. On the part of the United States the argument is very strongly urged that the wool tariff was intended to provide for every article known to commerce which is made in whole or in part of that material, and to repeal all other laws which assessed a duty on anything of that sort. I find it very difficult to reconcile these provisions of law, or to say wnich must be preferred.

Edwards. But the only statement made in reference to those patents as affeoting claims 2, 3, and 5, of re-i6sue No. 8,460, is that the plaintiff's scraper, x, is old and is shown in those pat- ents. In regard to claim 1, the statement is that "the de- vice" is old and is shown in those patents. No reasons are given. What it is in those patents that is referred to is not pointed out. The scraper, s, is not claimed by the plaintiff by itself. It is not asserted that' either claim 2 or claim 3 or claim 5 is shown or described in any of those patents. The burden is on the defendant to make out anticipation. The plaintiff's expert states that he does not find claim 1 or 2 or 3 or 5 in the Williams' patent, No. 10,774, and he gives his reasons. He examines an English patent, No. 1,379, granted to one Edwards in 1872, (which is understood to show what is shown in the United States Edwards' patent, No. 157,068,) and says that it does not anticipate claim 1 or 2 or 3 or 5, and he gives his reasons. He also alludes to the Gobb patent, and says that it is for making roofing, and to the Stenhouae patent, No. 97,893, and says that it shows no machine at all. He also says that neither Stenhouse, nor Cobb, nor Edwards, shows a heated cylinder acting to beat wax and to apply the wax to paper prepara tory to the subse- quent drawing of the wax into the paper. Certain it is that no patent referred to by the defendant's expert affects claim» 2, 3, or 5, and claim 1 must stand, so far as this motion is con- cerned. It is quite clear, from the history of the article made by the plaintiii's machine and process, that that article was not capable of beiag made by any machine or mechanical process before made known.

The plaintiff's expert says that Dickinson does not, in his draw- ings, show any machinery for efFecting the differentiation of speed, but simply says that it might be done; yet that, if the machinery he does show was adapted to waxing paper by merely substituting wax for size, the description in Dick- inson would be sufficient without drawings. The specification of No. 193,867 is not furnished to me, but I assume that it states what is found in the specification of re-issue No. 8,460, which is that "the scraper, x, is applied to the cylinder, a, between the wax trough and the place of contact with the paper to remove surplus wax and only allow a uniform layer of wax to adhere to the heated cylinder, a." Taking the description in No. 209,393 as if the description in No. 193,867 were incorporated in it, as it must be, and assuming that the latter describes the scraper, x, in the above terms, "the cylinder coated with melted wax," in claim 1 of No. 209,393, must be understood as meaning a cylinder coated "substantially as set forth;" that is.with wax of the thickness and: uniformity left after applying the scraper, x. In the like view, the expressions in claim 2, "a heated cylin- der for transferring the wax to the paper" and "the waxing cylinder," must be understood as meaning a cylinder "sub- stantially as specified;" that is, not only a cylinder coated with melted wax, but a cylinder coated with wax of the thick- ness and uniformity of the coat of wax with which the cylin- der in the description would be coated, namely, the coat left after using the described scraper, x. This is the proper con- struction of the two claims, and under it neither the Dickin- son patent nor any other patent, so far as it appears, antici- pates the claims; and, as the defendant used the scraper, x, in connection with the differentiation of speed, he must be held to have infringed the claims.

She was caulked and reloaded, and brought her cargo to Bos- ton, but it had already sufEered the damage which the district court bas found to be juatly chargeable to the vessel. The libellants ihtroduced evidence tending to show that the schooner was of a mode! and build unsuited to the heavy cargo of sugar which she undertook to carry, and that the caulking of her seams had been neglected. The claimants met these allegations; and, upon the whole evi- dence, the district judge was of opinion that the schooner waf, in these particulars, sufficient and suitable for the voy- age. I am of the same opinion. But behind this is the question, how so much water came into the vessel without being discovered? The condition of the vessel, when she was examined, would not account for seven feet of water being found in the hold four hours after it had been pumped dry, or found to be dry. The officiai surveyors of the district court at Philadelphia so reported, and every witness con- fiiTOB them. Two suggestions have been advanced in evi- dence and in argument to explain the fact : (1) That the seamen neglected to try the puraps ; (2) that the limbers were choked so that the water could not reach the pumps. Upon the evidence each theory is improbable ; but one or the other, it seems, must be true. If the limbers were stopped, the libellants maintain that it must have been by coal dust, which sifted into them upon the voyage from Scot- land; and the claimants insist that the hoavy molasses, or liquid sugar, which drains from a cargo of muscovado sugar, might harden, and effect this injurious resuit. The Bugar owned by the libellant company was insured by the Pacific Insurance Company of New York, and the Phœnix Company of Brooklyn, and after this libel had been filed those companies paid the loss to the libellant company, under an agreement which is made a part of the record, by which the libellant is bound to repay to the underwritors any sum or sums which may be recovered by decree, or settlement, in virtue of the unseaworthiness of the vessel, or the negligence of her officers or crew.

The continuance of the estate conveyed to the grantees, in the grant before us, was dependent upon the performance of the condition subsequent expressed in the grant. By the termsof the condition it was to be performed by the grantees "at their own oonvenience and time." As the grantors de- rived no immediate benefit in consideration of the grant, and were to receive profits only upon the performance of the con- dition, it was the duty of the grantees to perform the condi- tion subsequent in a reasonable time. What a reason- able time is the law does not accurately define, but leaves that question to be decided by the judge according to the facts and circumstances of a case, as admitted by the pleadings or as ascertained by the finding of a jury. As the evident intention and motives of the grantors, in eiecuting the grant without any present consideration, were that they might receive continuons profits from the working of the min- erais and metals in the lands, the obligation of the grantees was continuons; and if they failed to open the mines, or dis- continued to work them when opened, and did not resume operations in a reasonable time, their estate, under the grant, would be forfeited by this breach or non-performance of the condition subsequent contained in the grant. The doctrines of estates upon condition seem to have been originally derived from the feudal law. A tenant was under obligation to render continuons service, and if he neglected to perform his service the lord could, by a wrii of cessaidt, obtain possession of the fief, as such continuons service was the consideration for the grant of the estate. . It was insisted, on the part of the plaintiffs,^ that at the common law the breach of a condition subsequent did not absolutely determine the estate ; that a freehold could only be defeated by an entry or claim made on the part of the grantor or his heirs, and until that was done the estate lost none of its original qualities and incidents, and that this right of entry or claim could not be assigned to a sti^anger to the conveyance.

Mass. 50. The national bank acts were passed in 1863 and 1864, and provision was made for the punishment of eoun- terfeiting their bills and passing the counterfeits, but there was no reservation to the state in making these provisions. Without such reservation, the states Kad no power left to them to supplement the acts of congress by legislation covering the same ground. Sturges v. Crowningshield, 4 Wheat, 122; Prigg v. Pennsylvania, 16 Pet., 539. The statute of Vermont, under which the relator was indicted and is imprisoned, was passed in 1869. At that time, and until th« adoption of the Revised Statutes of the United States, June 22, 1874, there was nothing giving up to the states the jurisdiction which congress h ad taken over this offence, or any part of it. The Revised Statutes contain a title of "Crimes," in which the provisions for punishing coun- terfeited national bank bil}s are placed. It also has this general provision : "Section 5328. Nothing in this title shall be held to tt^ke away or .impair the jurisdiction of the courts of the several states, under the laws thereof." The provisions of the judiciary act, relating to the crim- inal jurisdiction of the circuit court, are brought into section 629, twentieth, with the qualification of exclusive cognizance changed to "except where it is, or may be, otherwise provided by law." If these provisions were all, it might be said that congress had expressly withdrawn the jurisdiction before taken of offences mentioned in the title of "Crimes, " so far as the states might choose to exercise similar jurisdiction through their courts. But chapter 12 of the title on "Judiciary," entitled "Provisions common to more than one court or judge," was placed in the Eevision and enacted as a part of the Revised Statutes. It commences with section 711 : "The jurisdiction vested in the courts of the United States, In the cases and proceedings hereinafter mentioned, shall be exclusive of the courts of the several states : First, of all crimes and offences cognizable under the authority of the United Btatea." This provision was not in the statutes of the United States anywhere before.

And, taken in connection with the section making the juris- diotion of the United States courts over offences cognizable under the authority of the United States wholly exclusive of the state courts, it must mean this. Such construction leaves all the sections standing operative, while the other would leave the one declaring the jurisdiction exclusive inoperative. The section on "Crimes" is later than the other in the order of the statutes, and might be said to be controlling for that rea- son ; but that ground of inference is expressly removed by the statutes themselves, which provide that no inference or presumption of a legislative construction is to be drawn by reason of the title under which any partieular section is placed. Section 5600. The act of passing these counterfeited bills, made punish- able under the statute of the state upon which the relator was indieted, might, and often would, concur with others to constitute a cheat which would be punishable bylaws of the state of long standing against obtaining money or goods by privy or false tokens. Gen. St. Vt. 67J, § 23. It was upon this ground, that the passing the counter- feited national bank bill was a mere private cheat under the laws of Virginia, that the conviction was uptield by the majority of the court in Jett v. Virginia, 18 Gratt. 933, (7 Am. Law Eeg. 260,) cited at this hearing. The indictment against the relator does charge him with passing a counterfeited national bank bill, knowing the same to be false, with intent to def raud one Margaret McDaniels, which is, in terms, a somewhat different offence from that made punishable by the laws of the United States, which consista merely in passing such counterfeited bill, knowing it to be counterfeited. Eev. St. § 5415. The indictment ap- pears to have been drawn according to the statute in force before the act of 1869, which made an intent to defraud an ingredient of the offence, but did not in exact language apply to national banks.

It is not denied by the counsel for Lynch that this wbuld be so, but for an agreement betweeu the parties suggested by him that the proceeds only should be applied on the debt. Thi» is not proved by the testimony. I think the case should be referred back for further proof as to the value of the property at the time of the sale, or afterwards, -when used and disposed of by Lynch, and as to the existence of such an agreement, if the claimant desires to make such proof.

And among the prominent badges of fraud are the "immediate engagement in hazardous bus- iness, and the contracting of debts immediately after the transfer," To which we may add, in this case, the frauda- ient disposition of the remaining estate of the grantor very soon after the conveyance. 2. The well-settled rule is that where a conveyance ia intentionally made to defraud ereditors, it is void as to all sub- sequent as well as prior ereditors; and it is certainly within the rule to say that if the conveyance is made with a vicw to defrauding subsequent ereditors, it is as to them void, although all prior ereditors are paid in full.

The general doc- trine asserted by these authorities is not questioned, but it is insisted that the complainant must show not only the intent to defraud subsequent creditera, but that such ereditors have actually been injured thereby. It is insisted that the intent to defraud is not enough, if no one is, in fact, injured. I do not find that this distinction ia noticed in the books ; but, even if Sound, I do not think it can avail respondents in thia case. If a person, when about to contraot debts, makes a volun- tary conveyance, with the actual intent to deprive bis future ereditors of the means of enforoing collections of their debts, and this purpose is aocomplished, I am very clearly of the opinion that such subsequent ereditors are injured and defrauded.

Shipman, D. J. This is a bill in equity founded upon let- ters patent, of the United States, dated November 5, 1878, and issued to George W. McGill, the assignor of the plain- tiffsi for an "impiovement in buckles." The invention is au improved shoe buckle, and is described by the patentee in his specification and claim as follows: "My invention bas for its object an improved and simplified mode of fastening a buckle to a strap, or to such other article as it may be de- sired to attach it, and consists in hinging to the cross-bar of an ordinarily-constructed buckle, a metalUc fastening consist- ing of a plate, having its base terminating in a central single prong, and having another prong, pierced and extending from its body portion, both the base prong and body prong being pointed and bentdown at right angles from the body of the plate in such manner that they -will enter the article to which the buckle is to be attached throngh slits eut therein on Unes parallel with each other, and clamp such articles by being bent down on its other side, either toward or from each other, as will hereinafter fully appear. What I do claim and de- sire to secure by letters patent is the herein-described buckle, having the fastening plate, B, constructed with the prong D from the internai position of the plate, and the prong C from the free end thereof, both being in the same longitud- inal Une, and substantially as specified." The defendants made and sold, before the fillng of the bill, and after the assignment of the patent to the plaintiffs, two kinds of buckles — one, Exhibit A, identically like the McGill buckle, exdept that the fastening plate -was not hinged to a cross-bar extending across the buckle, but was hinged to two- housed journals. This is an immaterial difference, and is not claimed to be otherwise. The base of the fastening plate of the other kind of buckle (Exhibit B) terminates in a central single prong, but the plate has two prongs pierced and ex- tending from its internai position or body. When these three prongs are bent forward, the end prong will lie upon the plate between the two internai prongs.

This case does not come within the rule applicable to voy- ages which are abandoned and broken up by reason of ship- wreok, or such marine disaster as makes the completion of the voyage impossible, because the intervention of winter weather, which pompels the master to lay up his vessel at an intermediate port, only delays the voyage until the opening of navigation in the ensuing season, when it may be resumed and completed. It is also admitted that the rate of sea- men's wages, for voyages undertaken late in the fall on our lakes, is much higher than for similar services in the spring. Under these circumstances it seems to me that the court should hold a contract like the one now before us to be made by both parties in view of the contingency that it is liable to terminate, by the closing of navigation from the inclemency of the weather, before the completion of the voyage. It is a contract for the voyage from the port of departure to the port of destination, if it can be completed that season. If the season closes by the setting in of winter weather, so as to make the further prosecution of the voyage unsafe for life or property, then the master must have the right to lay up his vessel at any intermediate port of safety, and to discharge his crew, because to be compelled to pay full wages during the entire winter, and until the completion of the voyage in the spring, might not only consume the entire earnings of the voyage, but even leave the vessel burdened with debt. If the master cannot terminate the contract with his men on some equitable terms when he is compelled to lay up his vessel, he would be tempted to take too great risks in pursu- ing and attempting to complete the voyage, and thereby endanger not only the lives of his men, but the property in his charge, merely because he was under so heavy an obliga- tion to his men if he must either get them to their place of<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 10taln6liv1x0rsngwioqk7sm1rljx0 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/702 104 700131 15135494 12795810 2025-06-14T22:34:10Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: mcnt → ment , EBPO → REPO, removed: � (5) 15135494 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>690 FEDIJ^l^ REPOBIESe 6,500 acres from David Preston. These lands were situated in the counties of Alpena, Alcona, and adjoining counties. Garrett B. Hunt, Jacob Eschelman, and Henry S. Cunning- ham held a purcbase-money mortgage upon all the lands in tow.nships 28 and 29 north of range 8 east, amounting to aboui 6,500 acres, to secure the payment of $35,000 and interest, given to them by Oliver, who was then carrying on business at a place called Ossineke, in the vicinity of the property, in the manufacture and sale of lumber from the lands above mentioned, in copartnership with the defendant George J. Eobinson. The lands covered by the Cunningham, Hunt, and Eschehnan mortgage were also encumbered by other mortgages and claims, amounting with said $36,000 to about $100,000. Oliver & Eobinson owed about $36,000. The value of the real estate at this time was, as estimated by Oliver, $226,000, including mills and dock; and the personal property about $70,000. Making a liberal allowance for over- estimate, Oliver's assets must at this time have exceeded his iiabilities by about $150,000; but he was manifestly embar- rassed financially. As early as June, 1868, some dif&culty had grown up between Oliver and his partner ; and, reallzing his financial embarrassment, he appealed by letter to defend- ants Hunt and Cunningham, two of the mortgagees, to obtain assistance, stating fully to them his assets and Iiabilities, and the obstacles to a successfui prosecution of the business, interposed by his partner Eobinson, and proposing to deed his property to them in trust for the payment of his indebt- edness, and in July folio wing visited Buffalo and had a per- sonal conference" touching the same matter.

Mich. 90, says, as to the doctrine of adjudication in a former suit, that it is conclusive in respect (1) to the subject-matter of the litigation. The subject-matter of the litigation in the foreclosure case was the establishment of a lien upon a por- tion of the property involved in the present controversy, and to have a decree of foreclosure for the mortgage debt. (2) Conclusive as to all points of fact or law, or both, necessarily settled in determining the issue on the subject-matter, Let it be assumed that the court did not determine in the foreclosure case as to the facts setup bythe answer and cross-bill, — though it would make no difference whether it did or not, — but did determine, as a matter of law, that Oliver could not avail himself of the transactions, no matter for what reason, when, as a matter of law, he was entitled to have his defence con- sidered, then such judgment is res aajudicata and a bar to this suit, because it was necessarily settled in that case that the transactions here pleaded constituted no defence to the the foreclosure. We have stated what was the subject-matter of the litiga- tion in the foreclosure on the part of the complainant. Now, the subject-matter of the litigation as respects Oliver, in that foreclosure, was the right to have whatever defence he was entitled to make determined in that suit, and the judgment of the court would not be rea adjudicata as to any matter which he was not so entitled, as a matter of right, to have litigated there. It only becomes necessary, as it seems to me, then, to determine whether, as a matter of law, Oliver was entitled to interpose the transactions brought forward in the present suit as a defendant to a decree of foreclosure. As already intimated, if H. M. Eobinson, not a party to the foreclosure, but a defendant here, was a necessary party to any suit in which the transactions in controversy were to be deoided, then, as he could not be made a party to that fore- closure, it was not Oliver's right to interpose the subject- matter of this suit as a defence to that.

The argument in support of the demurrer assumes that the action which the personal representative brings is the same — to be measured by the same rule of damages — as if the deceased had commenced an action and had died during its continuance. It also assumes that there is such a thing as instantaneous death resulting from an injury to the person. The only case cited to sustain the point is Kearney v. Rail- road Co. 9 Cush. 108. That case was decided upon a statute of Massachusetts passed in 1842, as folio ws: "The action of trespasa on the case for damage to the person shall hereafter survive, so that, in the event of the ueath of any person enti- t!ed to bring such action, or liable thereto, the same may be prosecuted or defended by or against his executor or administrator, in the sam* man- ner as if he were living." And the construction placed upon this act was that "the case contemplated by the statute must be of such a nature that the party injured must himself have, at some time, had a cause of action;" and because the injuved person was said to be instantly kUled, the court said he never had a cause of action to survive. But under the Nevada statute it is not indispensable to show that the person killed lived long enough to have a right of action accrue, admitting the Massachu- setts case to be sound. AU that is necessary is that the wrongful act shall be such as would, if death had not ensued, have entitled the party injured to sue. The statute acts on the wrong-doer, making him liable for damages, "notwithstanding the death of the person injured." The action is given to the personal representative for the pur- pose, in part, of compensating the kindred named in the act, which is a wholly new and distinct ground from that which the injured party would have had, and cannot be said in any sense to survive. Th© English statute, upon which the stat- ute now being construed is drawn, is 9 & 10 Vict. c. 93, p. 693, passed in 1846. four years after the Massachusetts stat- ute. In Blaice v.

In regard to the change of phraseology, it seems to me mnimportant, and that the two phrases are synonymous. The revisers had no power to alter the law, while theymight change the mere forms of expression ; and unless something were shown that would demonstrate that congress, in enaeting the Eevision, intended to alter the law by amending the phraseology, the proper rule of construction is to treat the language of the Eevision as synonymous to that of the original act, where the words are so much alike as they are here. The case oi U. S. v. Fehrenbach, 2 Woods, 175, ia not opposed to this construction. , Under the rule prescribed in section 5600 of the Revised Satutes.it relegates section 5440 to its original place in the revenue act of 1867, and applies to a conspiracy to commit an offence against the revenue laws the same term of limitations that section 1046 of the Revised 8ta tutes provides for all "crimes arising under the revenue laws." In other words, the case decides that a conspiracy to defraud the revenue is a crime arising under the revenue laws, in the purview of section 1046. But this does not involve a limitation of the scope of section 5440, either to conspiracies to commit f rauds on the revenue, or to conspir- aoies injuring the United States as a govemment. A con- spiracy to defraud the revenue would probably be held to be "a crime arising under the revenue laws," within the meaning of section 1046, whether found denounced in a revenue law, or elsewhere in the criminal code, moreespe- cially if the conspira&y charged were one to commit an act itself made a erime^ It is not the place whore found in the statutes that impresses the crim© with the characteristic of "arising under the revenue laws,, " but the fact that it is an oiience against the revenue, andis so deelared to be either expressly, or by necessary implicatipn. \ I am of opinion, therefore, thai we cannot, on the principi^ of that case, be required to restrict section 5440 to such "oiiences" as oper- ate to injure the government itself, but that it coyers every<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> dps4wn3o1wosorfnub7e2d3vueu4dri Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/754 104 700202 15135499 8175874 2025-06-14T22:34:15Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: whieh → which, FBD → FED, FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, EBPO → REPO, POBT → PORT, REPORTEE → REPORTER, removed: � (5) 15135499 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>742 FEDERAL REPORTER. ity, be Sound law, it is decisive of the present case ; for it ia evident that neither Mrs. Davison nor the plaintifif had any knowledge whatever of the retention by Burnham, Ormsby & Co. of the respective bonuses of $2,000 and $500. They did not authorize the usury. They received no benefit from it. They paid the, full sums for which they respectively received the defendant's notes. If, therefore, it be granted as a fact that A. C. Burnham was Mrs, Davison's agent in makingthe original loan, and that Burnham, Ormsby & Co. were the plaintiflf's agents in negotiating the second loan, it would make no difference in the decision of the question in this case. The plea of usury must still be overruled. I cannot assent to the proposition of defendant's counsel that in the original transaction A. C. Burnham was the lender of the money, because he failed to disclose his principal, and took the notes in his own name. The money belonged to Mrs. Davison. A. C. Burnham was her agent in making the loan of it. They both treated the notes as the property of Mrs. Davison, and she received the interest upon them. A. C. Burnham had in fact no real interest in the loan, exeept as trustee for Mrs. Davison. He vould have lost nothing if a plea of usury had been sustained. The penal- ties would have fallen upon Mrs. Davison; anditis, therefore, her intentions and her acts, not the acts and intentions of A. C. Burnham, that are to be considered in determining whether or not the penalties of usury shall be inflicted. The act of an agent in taking notes upon a loan of his prinoipal's money in his own name does not make the agent the lender. But even if we grant the proposition that A. C. Burnham was in fact the lender, it will not avail the defendant in this case; for it is a legal proposition well settled in oar juris- prudence by the most respectable authorities, that where an usurious obligation passed for value to an innocent purchaser without notice of the usury, and where the innocent assignee takes a new and substitute security for the debt, there being no taint of usury in the second transaction, the plea of usury to the substituted obligation cannot be sustained.

Love, T>. J. This case is before the court on demurrei to the petition. The petition alleges that the plaintiff, who is a citizen of Canada, had on January 1, 1879, certain oribs of com which had been purchased in Crawford county, Iowa, for the purpose of shipment to Canada ; that said corn had been moved by the plaintiff from its place of production towards its destination beyond the state and temporarily placed in oribs; that it was in cribs, awaiting shipment by the Chicago & North-western Eailway, on the first day of January, 1879; that the plaintifs intention was at all times to move said com in bulk beyond the state, and not to use, sell, or manufacture the same within the state of Iowa ; and that the ootn bas sinoe been removed in bulk out of the state, no part df the same having been sold, used, or manufactured therein. It is alleged further that while the com was so tempo- rarily in cribs it was assessed as property of a non-resident, a tax levied upon the same, and a warrant issued to the sher- iff, whereby the plaintiff was compelled, in order to save his property, to pay the taxes levied aforesaid. There is a second count stating different circumstances, but presenting the same question. The petition prays judg- ment for the amount of taxes paid, amounting to $502.22, with interest. The question thus presented is whether or not the prop- erty taxed was, on the first day of, January; 1879, when it was assessed for taxation, in the course of transportation from the state of Iowa to any other state or country as an article of commerce. In a word, was it in commercial -transit ? That a state cannot levy a tax upon property in transit to other states and countries is clear, because the property then bas no situs in the state, in the proper legal sense of that word. It would be a most serions evil, and a direct obstruction to interstate commerce, for any state to exercise the power of taxing property while in commercial transit to other states or countries. The question then is, was the property in commercial tran- sit? The petition is not as clear and explicit asit might be, but the fair construction of it is that the plaintiff, haying pur-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> t1knhy7omnjqnctda3m7inth9opdsc4 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/772 104 700220 15135502 8175894 2025-06-14T22:34:18Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: wbo → who, FBD → FED, FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, POBT → PORT, PORTEB → PORTER, removed: � (18) 15135502 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>760 FEDERAL BSPORTER, deoree subrogating the Plant mortgage to the residue of th© fund after payment of the judgment in favor of Gunn, But as this ruling gives the judgment a lien for principal and interest from the date of the original verdict and judgment, (the judgment bearing interest as a secured debt,) and as this will absorb the whole fund, this decree is refused; espe- cially as it does not appear that the mortgage would have any priority of lien except on the proceeds of the sale of the mortgaged property. 4. The doctrine of election of two funds does not apply except where both are equally accessible to the crediter. The oreditor having the senior lien cannot be forced by one having a junior lien to resort to a fund which is only par- tially collected, and the balance of which is merely in the form of promissory notes of purchasers of land, the note» being due on long time. Upon these grounds the decree of the court is that the complainants' bill be dismissed at their cost. Ebseixe, J., concurred. NisBET, Assignee, etc., v. Qunw. The Same v. Dub. The Same v. Kahn.

In the case against Dub there is no doubt that he knevr the nature of Dans' businessi He was an old friend and an intimate acquaintance of the bankrupt. - He bought goods of the value of $2,200, when by his own testimony $600 to $700 would fully stock the small establishment connected with his hotel where he was selling these goods. In the case againBt Kahn the evidence also is that he was an old friend and knew the nature of Dans' business. In 1867 he gave in his entire stock for taxes at $1,000, yet hia purchase from Dub at one transaction amounted to $1,926. His deniai that he knew that Dans was acting with intent to work a fraud on the bankrupt law amounts to nothing. He should have shown that he riiade inquiry, and that he became satisfied that Dans' purpose was not the purpose which the law deolared it, prima facie, to be. The decree must, therefore, be against the defendants for the full amount of the value of the goods bought by them. Eebki:ie, D. J., concurring. Hanovee Pire Ins. Co. v.

He said that he thus made use of the recoil action of the steam against the valve, but he gave notice that he did not claim broadly this use of the recoil action, and of the extension of the valve laterally bexp»,d its ^^eat. In fact, these two fea- tures were found in Beyer'a patent, which was issued a few months earlier ithan Naylor's. Ashcroft, the assignee of Naylor, was less modest. When he re-issued the patent he olaimed the valve with its downward curved lip, and the annular recess, adding, by way of caution, "substantially as described." The courts held that, in view of what Beyer had described and patented, Naylor could not sustain abroad claim to a curved lip or an annular recess, generally, but must be limited to his own peculiar form of construction. Eichardson's patent of 1866 embodied the same general mode of construction and operation as was shown in Beyer and Naylor, and in other patents now produced in evidence. Judge Shepley thus describea it : "In the Richardson valve, wh^n the valve opens, the steam expands and flows into the annular space around the ground joint. Its free escape is prevented by a stricture, or narrow space formed by the edge of the lip and the valve seat. Thus, the steam esoaping from the valve is made to act by its expansive force upon an additional area outside the valve proper, to assist in raising the valve ; this stricture being enlarged as the valve is considerably lifled from its seat, and varying in size as the quaa-' tity varies of the issuing steam." 1 Holmes, 369. The difficulty to be overcome in all these valves which use an additionallifting area after the valve is open, is to Umit the lift so that too muoh steam shall not escape. It seems that Eichardson's valve accomplished this by a careful adap- tation of the width of his opening, or stricture, to the size of his chamber and the strength of his spring. ' In the reported case Judge Shepley said, and Mr. Justice Clififord, in the supreme court, agreed with him, that Eichardson had suc- ceeded in making a working valve of this kind which would lose but two and a half pounds when blowing off at a pressure<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 1vsmjrb7yr7hswmw9t6boqt24sacgiq Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/786 104 700234 15135505 8175910 2025-06-14T22:34:21Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, KBPOR → REPOR, removed: � (9) 15135505 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>774 FB1>EBAL REPORTER. pressure which will be exerted on the valve is adjusted, in part, by the size of the openings below. Now, it is plain that this contrivance does not corne strictly within the language of the plaintiff's elaim of a safety valve, with the circular or annular lip, etc. , The curved lip or flange in the defendant's valve, when he uses it, bas noth- ing to do with the pressure of the steam ; it merely prevents it from scaldingthe engineeri There is a lip or flange in the plaintiff's valve, as actually constructed, which serves this purpose, but which is not the flange mentioned in the claim. The plaintiff's claimed flange co-operates in the mak- ing of his stricture. The defendant's flange is merely at- tached to the sleeve which aids in making his stricture. But the important comparison is between the two things. If the defendant bas taken the plaintiff's invention, I should try to construe the claim to conform to the fact, rather than to leave the parties to the dubious expedient of a re-issue. I understand the resemblances and differences to be these : The defendant, like the plaintiff, employa an additional sur- face to lift the valve as soon as it begins to blow ; and the pressure is regulated, in part, by a stricture. The defend- ant's valve is unlike the plaintiff's in the following partic- ulars : The additional area is not outside the ground joint, but inside; it is not acted on independently of the valve itself, but is a part of it. The escaping steam does not act at all by impact, but wholly by expansion. The stricture is not variable, opening wider as the power increases, but is ad- justed once for all by the operator. Considering the state of the art, as I have found it to be, that Eichardson was not the firat to invent and apply, more or less well, the principle of the additional area, nor that of the stricture, he could not, whatever the words of his claim, successfully enjoin the use of a valve resembling his own only in its adoption of these general ideas. I am of opinion, then, that Eichardson neither claims, nor could properly claim, a valve having such a mode of operation as I find in this valve of the defendant.

It will be observed that this is not a contest between Tyler & Eussell as to which firat made the invention, although it would seem from the drift of the defendant's evidence that Buch was hia impression. In a suit for infringement the paterit aot allows, as a defence, anticipation by other letters patent, or by a printed publication ; and when the former is set up the complainant is permitted to show, if he can, that the date of the actual invention was older than the date of the contesting patent; but no emphasis is laid upon the inquiry into the time when the inventor of the alleged prior patent first made bis inven- tion. The date of the Bussell patent is October 12, 1858, What evidence bas been adduced to show that Tyler's inven- tion was prior ? William H. Tolhurst, an experimental machinist, model and pattern maker, says that in the first part of the year 1858 he bullt patterns for a full-sized harvesting machine for Mr. Tyler from drawings that had been made in 1857; that early in 1859 he constructed a model from these patterns — the model patterns and drawings all containing the solid frame on which the intermediate gearing between the driving- wheels and cutting apparatus is mounted — and which is the device that the defendant charges Tyler with incorporating into his, machine from Eussell'B patent. The witness testifies that he bas no interest in the pending controversy, and his testimony is as olear and reasonably definite as could be expected from one who is speaking of transactions which took place 20 years before. He is substantially confirmed in these dates by other witnesses for the complainaiits, to-wit : Moorse, Marsh, McFarland, and Eoss. But, in addition to this defence of a prior patent, the de- fendant also sets up the patentee Eussell as. a person who had prior knowledge of the invention covered by the Tyler patent. What was the character and extent of his knowl- edge as "shown by the eyidence ? Eussell was called as a wit- ness by the defendant.

After one of the loaded tubs had been hauled upabove the deck, and before it was swung clear of the hatch, the chain parted and the loaded tub and part of the chain fell back into the hold, injuring the libel- lant very severely. The question is whether the ship is lia- ble for the damages. The test is whether the owner would be liable under the same circumstances at common law. The Germania, 9 Ben. 358. The libel alleges that the part- ingof the chain was caused by defects in it, and to its being unsuitable for the purpose to which it was devoted by the ship ; that the accident was caused solely by the neglect of those controlling said ship in using, and permitting to be used such defective chain, and not properly guarding and proteoting the said chain and appurtenances. The answer denies the negligence alleged in the libel; avers that the defect in the chain was a latent defect, one which could not be known to the respondent on a oareful examidation. It also avers contributory negligence on the part of the libel- lant, and alleges that the accident was caused by the negli- gence of bis co-servants, who were also, with bim, servants of the owner of the sbip. It was proved that the ship was about two years old; that she had, during that time, been engaged in bringing tin and iron from Great Britain to New York; that she was furnished with three hoisting ehains of similar character at three of her hatches. These ehains had becn in use since the vessel was built in. discharging bercargoes. They were such ehains as were commonly used on ships for that purpose. On the day before the accident the chain at the hatch where this accident happened parted while they were hoisting tin on a platform. It was lifting at the time about 1,700 to 1,800 pounds. The stevedore, with the help of the mate, then unrove the chain from another hatch, and replaced it upon the hatch where the accident happened, and with this chain they commenced discharging Spiegel iron.

These cases appear to be decisive in favor of the position assumed by the defendants here. There is, however, a serie» of opinions of the supreme court of the United States, begin- ning with the cases of Upton v. Tribilcock, 91 U. S. 45, and cul- minating in Hawley v, Upton, 102 U. S. 314, which put the obligation of a subscriber to stock in an entirely different light. While none of these cases except the last are neces- sarily inconsistent with the views expressed by the English courts, or with the position assumed by the defendants here, the general drift of the opinions is to the effect that the acceptance of a certificate of stock, not fully and actually paid xnp, ipso facto, obligates the holder to make up its par value if the duty of the corporation to its creditors requires it, although he originally agreed to take the stock as fully paid up. In Upton \. TiJ)ilcock,91 U. S. 45, the defendant agreed to becoine a stockholder, and, with intent to become such, accepted a certificate for stock whereby he became bound to pay the full amount thereof as follows : Five per cent, upon the delivery of the certificate ; 5 per cent in three months ; 5 per cent, in six flionths; 5 per cent, in nine months; and the residue wheneycr called for by the company, according to the charter of the company and the laws of the state of Illi- nois. The defence was that the subscription was obtained by the fraudaient representations of the agent of the com- pany, to the effect that the defendant would only be respon- sible for 20 per' cent, of the subscription made by him, and that he delivered his note in full payment of this amount. He received a certificate with the word "non-assessable" printed aeross the face. It was held that the legal effect of the instrument was tb niake the remaining 80 per cent, pay- able upon the demand of the company, and that the word "non-assessable" was no qualification of this resuit.

Were this an original question we should hold, without hesi- tation, that the statute was enacted to prevent the perpetra- tion of fraud by the sale or mortgage of personal property without the delivery of the possession, and without notice to persons subsequently dealing with the vendor or mortgagor. Independently of any statutory provision, a manual deliv- livery of the mortgaged property to the mortgagee would be neeessary to the validity of the instrument. This rule of the common law has its foundation in the doctrine that posses- sion of personal property is prima facie evidence of owner- ship, To allow the owner of such property to transfer the title hj a secret conveyance, while retaining the possession and assuming to act as the owner, was regarded at common law as permitting a fraud upon all who should deal with him upon the faith of his ownership. His possession and appar- ent ownership, it was believed, gave him credit, and afforded him the means of defrauding others. The purpose of the legistature in enacting this statute was net, in our judgment, to set aside this wholesome doctrine and thus enable dishonest persons to commit fraud by means of secret chattel mortgages; it was only to substitute record: ing for delivery. If thus construed, the statute affords a pro- tection against fraud quite as effectuai as that given by the common law ; but if we hold that a secret unrecorded sale or mortgage may be enforced as against a creditor who deals with the vendor or mortgagor in ignorance of its existence, unless such creditor shall, by attachment or otherwise, obtain<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> oj5efmkb3lqsdrhe11dlrh05esu79cf Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/828 104 700281 15135511 8175956 2025-06-14T22:34:27Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: whieh → which, AIi → AL , POBT → PORT, ORTBB → ORTER, removed: � (18) 15135511 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>816 TBCEBAL BSPORTER.

The invention embodied in this claim is, in fact, a combi- iiation of a valve for a water-closet with a variable chamber, and with a cup-leather, in such manner that the valve is caused to close slowly, because the operation of the cup- leather, as a tight packing, prevents the passage of water, and is allowed to open rapidly, because the operation of the cup-leather as a valve permits the passage of water. The cup-leather thus acts in one direction as a valve, and in the opposite direction as a packing. The variable chamber or cavity or cylinder bas in it a piston with a cup-leather on it centrally, and is provided with a small aperture which per- mits the graduai escape of water from it. When the cavity is filled with water the valve is held on its seat by a spiral spring. When the valve stem is depressed, the valve ia opeued rapidly, because the cup-leather then acts as a valve and permits the water to pass freely outside of it. When the force which depressed the valve stem is removed, the spring acts to shut the valve, but shuts it slowly, because the cup-leather acts as a tight packing, being forced by the pressure of the water outwards against the wall of the cavity. Therefore the water can escape only slowly from the cavity through the said small aperture, and the valve cannot move faster to shut than it is allowed to move by the escape of the water through said small aperture. The defendants' water- closet has a contrivance, the mode of operation of which is substantially the same as that of Carr. It has a variable chamber, a cup-leather which acts in one direction as a pack- ing and in the opposite direction as a valve, and it has a small aperture in the variable chamber which permits a small flow of water theref rom while the valve is closing. The cup-leather controla the motion of the valve in closing grad. ually ; it moves freely in one direction and closes against the wall of the containing chamber in the other direction, and the leakage of water in said chamber allows the movement of the cup-leath'er. There is, clearly, an infringement of the third claim, unless the particular arrangement of the , aperture through which the water escapes from the variable chamber is an element of that claim.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> eoqndg66l22uppf7dnnrofufgapz9p5 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/838 104 700292 15135513 8175967 2025-06-14T22:34:29Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, BBPO → REPO, PORTB → PORTE, removed: � (12) 15135513 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>PEDBBAL REPORTER. ih'ereforo, be held that the defendants have infringed the first claim of No. 21,734, In a suit before Judge McKennan the validity of the frwo claims above considered waa isustained ; but, in deciding the case, no written opinion waa given.

In the great county bond litigation which lately agitated the courts of this state, it was never claimed that the county officers who had, as decided by the supreme court of Iowa, acted ultra vires in issuing the bonds, were themselves per> Bonally liable as agents contracting without authority. It bas been suggested that the defendants offered the reward without any formai meeting and resolution of the board authorizing it. This would be material if there had been any statutory authority empowering the board, at a reg- ular or oalled Session, to offer the reward in question; but einee if at an authorized session a resolution of the board offering the reward would have been utterly without author- ity and void, it can make no kind of difference that the defendants acted without such formai meeting and author- ity. If there had been statutory authority, and the defend- ants had acted, in offering the reward, without actual author- ity conferred by the board, the plaintiff could charge them upon the contract as agents acting without or transcending their authority, because in that case the want of authority depending on a matter of fact, not law, notice of the absence of power to make the contract oould not be imputed to the plaintiff.

The section was originally sec- tion 11 of the act of June 7, 1872, and was evidently intended to supplement sections 7 and 8 of that act so as to protect seamen, not only from extortion on the part of officiais to whom was committed the supervison of the shipping of sea- men, but also from the interference of interlopers for gain in the transaction. The title of the act, which is for "the appointaient of shipping cpmmissioners * * * to superintend the shipping and discharge of seamen en^aged in mer.chant ships belonging to the ; United States, and for the future protection of seamen," affords some evidence of the legislative intent ; the sevirai sections of the act, which throughout are consistent with the title, contemplate a sur- ve^l^nqeby American oflScial^ pf American vessels; and the definition in section 66, for the purposes of the act, of a seaifian as a person employed or engaged to serve in any capacity "upon any ship belonging to any citizen of the United States," — allconeur to demonstrate the scheme and scope of the act as designed to secure protection of seamen in Amer- ican ships throughout the hiring, service, and discharge of such seamen. While section 4609 is broad eiiough, standing alone, to include a case where remuneration is exacted for providing a seaman with employment in a foreign ship, it muet be read in pari materia, and as a penal statute must nothe extended beyond the fair purview of the legislation of T^hich it is a part. The further point is made for the defendant that the action is improperly brought in the name of the United States, and that the district attorney, and not the United States, is the proper party plaintiff.

The court held that, as the assigner possessed the inchoate right to the ex- clusive use of the invention at the time he made the assign- ment, and had made the disoovery and prepared the specifi- cation of the patent, and as the assignment was intended to operate upon the perfect legal title which the inventer then had a right to obtain, because it requested that the patent might issue to the assignee, there was no sound reason for restraining the assignment to the inchoate interest and re- quiring a further transfer of the patent. In the present case, the patent had been allowed and ordei;ed to issue before the assignment was made, and the assignment refers to that fact, and to the f act that the purehase is of all the right, title and interest of Heath in the inveriiion "in consequence of the grant of letters patent therefor."

No reason is alleged for the neglect to cancel the stamp; but the bill ascribes two contradictory motives for the omis- sion to duly stamp the conveyance made by said William A. to the Drains: (1) To make the consideration correspond with that in the conveyance from J. A. to himself, and to promote the purpose for which it was made — to defraud the creditera of said J. A. ; and (2) that an "inadequate " considera- tion was "expressed" in such conveyance, with intent to evade the revenue act. The omission to stamp the deed from the first motive, does not render it void. An act done with a purpose to defraud or aid in defrauding the creditors of J. A. is not an act done, so far as appears, with intent to defraud the govemment. Nor does it naatter how "inadequate" the consideration for the conveyance is, so that the stamp used corresponds with it in amount. The statuts does not require a person to dis- pose of his property for an "adequate" consideration, with a view of enhancing the revenue of the government from that source, but very properly leaves that to be cared for by the selushness or the cupidity of the party interested. Neither is the allegation upon this point sufiScient, although it sug- gests that the proper one was in the mind of the pleader. The consideration expressed must not only have been inade- quate, but less than the amount actually paid. As section 158 of the stamp act, as amended by the act of March 3, 1865, (13 St. 481,) provides that the title of a purchaser by deed duly stamped shall not be affected by the*want of a stamp upon the deed of his grantor or predecessor in the inteiest, the allegation in the bill that the conveyance to said William A. was not duly stamped, is immaterial, so far as these defendants are coneerned.

Howe, and other cases in the supreme court of the United States involving the same principle, would undoubt- edly have dismissed the cause and returned the property to the officers of the state court. The defendants might with propriety have said to this court; "This property is alleged to be the property of Eob- ert I. Lee. It is seized as such ; it is in the possession of the sta^e court as such. The law of the state of Illinois (chapter 11, § 29, Eev. St. of Illinois) expressly provides that any third person claiming the property attached, as this property has been, ean interplead and protect his awa title; and therefore this court ought not to take from the state court the controTersy of which it had properly aCquired Jurisdiction." But instead of doing this the de- fendants plead to the merits, and try the case upon the merits ; challenge the validity of plaintiff 's title, charge that plaintiff 's title is fraudulent as against the attaching cred- iter of Lee, and only after their defeat by the jury upon that issue do they raise the question of jurisdiction. In the case of Freeman v. Howe the marshal of the United States had levied a writ of attachment upon certain cars as the property of the railroad company, the defendant in the attachment. A mortgagee of the railroad company brought replevin in the state court, and the supreme court of the United States in that case held that the possession of the marshal could not be interfered with by the process of the state court.

But there is another ground upon which the jurisdiction of the United States to punish this offence may be safely placed. The ratification of the treaty of June 9, 1855, on March 8, 1859, took effect by relation from the date of its signing, so that it was in full force whan the state was admitted. U. ^. v. Eeynes, 9 How. 143 ; Davis v. The Police Court, Id. 285; Haver v. Yaker, 9 Wall. 34. Like every other treaty made by the authority of the United States, this one was and is the supreme law of the land. Const. U. S. art. 6, subd. 2; Worcester v. Georgia, 6 Pet. 515. By it the Umatilla reservation -was set apart for "the exclusive use" of the tribe of Indians to which Shick-Shuck belongs, and no white person was to be permitted "to reside upon the same" without the permission of the United States given by its superintendent and agent. In my judgment the efifect of this treaty was to make the act of 1834 applicable thereto, Gxcept as otherwise provided therein, so that it became and is, to all intents and purposes, "Indian country," within the the meaning oi that phrase as used in that act and the Revised Statutes. The admission of the state into the Union, with this reservation established within its exterior lines, did not and could not have the effect to abrogate or modify this treaty^ The act of admission is silent upon the subject, and admit- ting that the treaty might be repealed by an act of congress, {Taylor v. Morton, 2 Curt. G. C. 454; The Clinton Bridge, 1 Woolw. 155 ; The Cherchee Tobacco, 11 Wall. 620,) there is no reason to believe that congress intended by such act to affect it in any way. The necessity for the reservation was quite as apparent then as when it was created, and the treaty pro- viding for it was ratified by the senate within a month after the passage of the act of admission. The reservation bas ever since been maintained by the United States, and con- gress bas continued to recognize its existence as provided in the treaty by making appropriations for its support.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> te4b921hy70kgixuoi04s988bmwtybm Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 7.djvu/918 104 700386 15135526 12096811 2025-06-14T22:34:42Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PBD → FED, POBTER → PORTER, removed: � (17) 15135526 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>906 FEDBBAIj B^PORTER. i A creditor's claim, duly proved according to the provisions of the bankrupt act, is, prima fade, good.

It would seem to follow from this statement of the case, and in view of the further fact that it hr^d been common to arm varions fences other than wire with points or prickers, that it was not competent for any inventer to do more than to claim his own special method of forming and affixing the barb which he had devised. Applying these principles to the Hant original and re-issued patent, we can give to them a proper construction. Hunt invented a particular kind of spur-wheel, which he strung upon the wires of a fence, a description of which he gives in his original specifications. They were small-spur wheels, the spurs being sharpened ; the wheels were provided with open- ings at their centers for the, wire to pass through. Com- paring the text of the original and re-issue together, it will be seen that the original Hunt patent was for a "hew and usefulimprovement in fences." The same is stated in the re-is8ue. The material differences between the specifications of the original and re-issue seem to be these: In the re- issue it is said, referring to the drawing : "D represents single spurs secured to the wires." That iS not in the orig- inal specifications. In the original specifications it is said : "Tfafe spurS fit the \7ire loosely, so as to revolve easily upon iti" In the re-issue "the spur- wheels may fit the wire loosely, so as to revolve easily upon it." In the original it says: '•The spurs may be kept in their places, or at suitable dis- tances apart, by means of flanges." In the re-issue refer- ence is made at the end of the word "flanges" to a letter A, <iontained in the drawings. In the original theclaim is : "Pro- viding the wires of a wire fence with a series of spur-wheels, substantially as and for the purposes set forth." In the re- issue the claim is: "A fence wire provided with spurs for the purpose specified. " While it is true that in the re-issue it is said D represents single spurs secured to the wire, and they are contained in the drawings of the re-issue, yet the drawings of the original patent contain single spurs, repre- sented on the wire. The same is in the re-issue, although no reference is made to them in the specifications.

What I do say is that it is quite clear that the office of the re-issue was to seeure the broad olaim now con- tehded for, and the complainant must be held to such a claim, even though it may reault that the real invention is not se- ctired. I am of opinion that the invention thus claimed ia anticipated by the patent granted to H. W. Sabin, December 3, 1850. Concededly this patent is an anticipation if it describes a rake head, which is an equivalent for Holden's, as one of the elements of the combination. The Sabin patent shows a horse rake in which the rake teeth are mounted separately upon a continuously revolving axle by eye bearing. The eye bearings are slipped upon the axle, and are so formed as to abut against each other. The teeth can oscillate independently of each other upon the axle, but in the tilting operation more simultaneously by means of a transverse bar, or yoke, which bears upon one end of the teeth. In the tilting operation, the center of the axle is the center of oscillation, and the yoke unites all the teeth so that they oscillate as a unit upon the axle. If this device does not present a rake head in the strict definition of the term, it does in substance. The head of a rake is that part which holds the teeth together for unitary action. The Sabin de- vice does the same work in the same way as Holden's, and the devices in one are but the equivalent for those in the other. It contains a set of teeth which oscillate as a unit on a continuously revolving axle, so that the center of oscil- lation coincides with the oenter of rotation of the axle. That Holden made structural changes, and constructed a more efficient machine than Sabin's,— one which involves in- vention and which was not anticipated by Sabin's,— seems quite clear; but that he is not entitled to claim the broad invention which the re-issue was designed to seeure seems to me equally clear. The bUI is therefore dismissed.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ozchsyetib0v5zit4taptg7dzsq9nem Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/3 104 700418 15135563 8176306 2025-06-14T22:35:18Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EEPORT → REPORT, lowa, → Iowa,, removed: � (92) 15135563 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>CASES REPORTED.

Ross, 3 Head, (Tenu.) 59, proceeded on that ground. See page 62. In Alabama the courts have not been willing to go as far, and in a case similar to Bank of U. 8. v. Davis, supra, — Terrill v. Branch Bank at Mobile, 12 Ala. CS. S.) 502, — held that the bauk was entitled to recover. But it seems that the corporation has generally been held chargeable with notice when a direetor, who had knowledge of defects, aoted for the corporation in the transaction; in each case though, where the corporation has been held responsible for the knowledge Of the direetor, this element has been present. National Seaarlty Bank v, Cushman, 122 Mass. 490; Bank of New Milford V. Town of New Milford, 36 Conn. 93; 1 Hall, (K T.) 480; Clei-M Savings Bank v. Thomas, 2 Mo. App. 367 ; Smith v. South Royalton Bank, 32 Vt. 341. The mere fact that one who has knowledge of certain facts is a direetor of the corporation, if he does not communicate it to the board of directors or other proper olHcers, or does not act in the transaction, will not charge the corporation with notice of such facts. Farrell Foundry Co. v. Dart, 26 Conn. 376; eeneral Ins. Co. v. U. 8. Ins. Co. 10 Md. 517; U. S. Ins. Co. v. Shriver, 3 Md. Ch. Dec. 381 ; Fulton Bank v. N.

And if the direetor or other officer of the corporation did not act for it in the transaction, but was an adversary to ifc, and especially if perpetrating a fraud upon it, the corporation will not be bound by knowledge which he possessed. Commercial Bank v. Cunningham, 24 Pick. (Mass.) 270 ; Wash- ington Bank v. Lerms^ 22 Pick. (Mass.) 24; City Bank of N. T. v. Barnard, 1 Hall, (N. Y.) 70; Stratton v. Allen, 1 C. E. Green, (N. J. Eq.) 229; Steverir son V. Bay City, 26 Mich. 44; Thompson v. Cartioright, 33 Beavan, 189. Thus, where the president or other officer of the corporation sold real estate to it, any knowledge of equities or defects which he may have had, unless he communicated such knowledge to the corporation, will not bind it. Wiw- chester v. Baltimore, etc., R. Co. 4 Md. 231 ; Wickersham v. Chicago Zinc. Co. 18 Kan. 481; Barnes v. Trenton Gas-Light Co. 27 N. J. Eq. 33; La Farge, etc., Ins. Co. v. Bell, 22 Barb. 54. In Hoffman, etc., Co. v. Cumberland, etc., Co. 16 Md. 456, the corporation was held affected with noticel, but its forma- tion, acquiring of title, and the circumstances impairing its title, all arose ont of one entire plan. A distinction has been attempted to be made between a mere direetor and "the president, eashier, or other executive officer" of the corporation. It is submitted that when the information cornes to a direetor or other officer other- wise than as an officer of the company, {i. e., casually or by reason of his con- nection with other matters,) the question of the liability of the corporation therefor is to be determined by the same rules, whether the person be merely a direetor or whether he be an executive officer. If Mr. Wade, in Ma work on Notice, (§ 675,) intends to maintain (as it seems he does) that there is a differ- ence, his citations do not sustain the proposition. In the case of Bank of New Milford v.

The petition charges him jointly with his co-defendant, and nothing appears upon the pleadings inconsistent with such a claim. It is not relevant to say that he was not a joint debtor with Pierce for the priee of the goods, on the contract of sale ; for the action is not brought to recover on that contract. It is an action for damages on account of an alleged deceit, the wrong complained of being laid as committed by the defendants jointly. This objection is over- ruled. (2) The next proceeds upon the same misconception. It is that the order of attachment was improperly issued, without the allowance of a judge, as required by section 5565 of the Revised Statutes, the action having been brought before the claim was due. But the claim sued on was not for the price of the goods upon the contract of sale, but for damages occasioned by the alleged deceit. (3) It is further urged, as a fatal objection to the order of attach- ment, that a levy under it cannot be made upon goods already in the hands of the ofScer by virtue of a levy of an execution. This applies only in Pieree's case, and does not go to the regularity and validity of the order of attachment, but only to that of its service by levy upon the goods previously taken in execution by the sheriff. But there does not appear to be any reason in the nature of the case, nor any statutory provision, which prevents the sheriff from levying an order of attachment, properly directed to him, upon goods already in his hands by virtue of a levy under a prior execution. There is no more difficulty in this case than in the levy of two or more executions of different dates, or of several successive orders of attach- ment, against the same debtor upon the same property. The case of Lake V. Butler, 19 Ohio St. 587, referred to in argument, was the case of an attempted levy by one ofEcer of an order of attachment upon property in the custody of another officer under other process, where it was held that the levy of the attachnaent could only be made by reg- ular garnishment. (4) The motion is further founded on the ground that the charge of misrepresentation and deceit is untrue. A large amount of testi- mony upon the merits, in the shape of affidavits, pro and con, bas been taken, To dismiss the attachment on this ground involves a decision based upon ex parte testimony of the very matter which must ultimately be passed upon by a jury. If the plaintiffs shall eventually succeed in obtaining a favorable verdict, that will deter- mine also that they were entitled to the provisional remedy by virtuei<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> p1br85z1l7bhtiyejr96joqjecvero2 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/42 104 700458 15135576 8176434 2025-06-14T22:35:31Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDERAIi → FEDERAL , POBT → PORT, ORTBB → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (10) 15135576 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>28 FEDERAL REPORTER. to the effeet that iron pipe, being of light weight in proportion to its bulk, it is necessary to load part of the cargo on deck, in order to give the vessel her full cargo, and that there wasa general custom Bo to load. Henry G. Ward, for appellant. Henry Flanders, for appellee. McKennan, g. J. The learned judge of the district court, who decided this cause, so clearly and accurately stated the law which governs it, as I think it ought to be held to exist, that I do not pro- pose to amplify or repeat his statement. I adopt it fully. As a general rule the jettison of a deck cargo would not entitle its owners to contribution in general average from the cargo stowed below deck. But ■where, in pursuance of a general custom of the trade to which the special kind of cargo belongs, the vessels engaged in its trans- portation are loaded partly on deck and partly under deck, and the deck cargo is necessarily sacrificed for the safety of the rest, the general cargo may be subjected to contribution to pay the loss. In the court below the case turned upon the existence of such a custom, and was properly decided upon the insufficiency of the proof of it. Since the* case came into this court further evidence has been taken, which shows it to be the custom, where a full cargo of gas pipe is shipped, that part of it is stowed above and part below deck. This is the uniform usage among manufacturers of gas pipe east of the Alleghanies, who employ water transportation, and for the reason that, on account of the light weight of the article compared with its bulk, the full capacity of the vessel cannot be made available without such distribution of the cargo. It is coeval with the manufacture and transportion of gas pipe on a large scale, and it is, therefore, shown to have been of such general prevalence and long continuance as to entitle it to be recognized as a general custom of the trade. There must, then, be a decree for the libellant against the respond- ent for its contributory portion of the loss caused by the jettison. This is admitted to be $77.50, and for this sum, with interest from the date of filing the libel, and costs in this court alone, decree will be entered.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> mx77ga164bqluj5kekym7jhldy7v7x7 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/60 104 700477 15135601 8176634 2025-06-14T22:35:56Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: tp → to , TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (11) 15135601 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude><i6 r FEDERAL BZPORTER. «.

Hearing on Bill and Plea. - Tihe bill was filed to restrain the use of the invention embraced in letters patent No. 22,439, issued to complainant for an improvement in locomotive axle bearings. The bill admitted the purchase by defendaule, in 1861, of a license to use siaid invention, but alleged that defendants had used it in locomotives acquired since the date of the license, and under chartered rights and privileges acquired since that date as lessee of several railroads not contemplated or embraced in said license. Defendants filed a plea, setting up the license re- fei^red to, the material part .of whjch was as follbws: .

The terms : "Upon and about the locomotive engines used by the said The Pennsylvania Eailroad Company, on the Pennsylvania Eailroad, or any road or roads now owned, or that may hereafter be owned or op|r^ted .by said company," are of the broadest signifi- cation, and very piainly embrace, not only locomotive engines in use at the date of the license, upon roads then owned or operated by the company, but also such other engines as it may thereafter use, and other roads which it may thereafter operate. The contracted inter- pretation claimed by the plaintiff, is not justified byany rule of con- struction,., or any special' eircUrdstanees appearing in the case;^-Nor can the plaintiff call in question, the defeudant's right to operate the roads on which the engines are employed.

U. S. V. Stiner, 8 Blatchf. 544, is also cited. This was a creditor's bill filed in the circuit court and founded on a judgment recovered by the United States in the district court, and the question was whether the circuit court had jurisdiction of the case. It was held without hesitation, by Judge Blatchford, that jurisdiction was plainly con- ferred by the eleventh section of the act of September 24, 1789, (1 St. at Large, 78,) which gave to the circuit courts original cogni- zance of all suits of a civil nature at law or in equity where the mat- ter in dispute exceeded, exclusive of oosts, $500, and in which the United States were plaintiffs. Nothing oould be clearer 'than that, under this express statutory authority, a creditor's bill oould be pros* ecutedby the United States in the circuit court to enforoe payui«nt of the judgment recovered in the district court. Since direct adjudication of the precise question involved is Want- ing, we aire lef t to deal with it in the light of such general principles as may be applicable. And, j^rs*, it may be remarked that the cir- cuit court has no general supervisory jurisdiction over the proceed- ings of the district court in admiralfcy. Its exercise of any super- visory control whatever is limited to the case of an appeal or other equivalent and direct mode of procedure where in a particular oontro- versy it is made the subject of review. In other words, a general juris- diction of the sort invoked here cannot be borrowed by the circuit court from the inf erior court on the ground that the original proceed- ing in the latter court was one in admiralty. The final judgment in the district court was a judgment in personam, and became a simple money demand, enforceable as such by suitable proceedings in a court having authority to entertain such methods of procedure as the case might require. The circuit and district courts of the United States are distinct and separate courts, each having, so to speak, its own sphere of jurisdiction. In some classes of cases their jurisdiction is by statuts made concurrent ; otherwise, it is as distinct as is the sub- ject-matter of the controversies with which they may have to deal.

V. OENTIUL B. OF lOWA. 61 in writing from the circuit judge, (Honorable John P. Dillon,) whioh, among other things, directed as follows : " It is not expected that you will serve as superintendant. You will con- tinue the i»resent superintendent, or employ anotlier, as yotir judgment dic- tates, on the best terms that will secure a good man." The petitioner served as receiver during a period of two years and three and one-half months. From January 1, 1876, until May 1, 1877, he had no general superintendent,: and performed, during that period of 15 months, the duties of a general superintendent in addi- tion to those of the receivership. By petitioner's direction the du- ties of the offices of auditor and cashier were united in one person, whereby a saving to the company of about $100 par month waa effected. The petitioner, upon entering upon his duties, reduced the salaries of all officers and employes under him 10 per cent. Th© company had an attorney employed at $60 per month salary and $20 per day additional when actually employed in court. The petitioner attended in person to some of the legal business of the company, being engaged in this way for aibout 30 days. In the disburse- ment of the revenues of the road during his administration, the pe- titioner applied to the payment of debts contracted by his predeces- sor during his receivership the sum of $280,000. After petitioner's appointment the court and parties interested in the main suit re- qiiired frequent statements and reports of the accounta in the gen- erai office of the road, which called for a greater amount of time and labor on the part of petitioner than would be required ordinarily at the hands of a receiver. During petitioner's service his general health and eye-sight became much impaired, and it appears that in the discharge of his duties the petitioner was frequently called to travel on the trains and to break his rest at night. The master finds the foregoing facts, and also reports that peti- tioner had effected a saving in the expenses, under various heads, in his operation of the road, compared with the similar expenses of his predecessor, of $85,000 in about 18 months. On the part of com- plainant the master finds that there is still a large balance unset- tled on the final account of petitioner as receiver. This balance con- sists of three items : (1) An item of $4,000 expended by the receiver to purchase, for the beneflt of the company, a half interest in an uncompleted railroad, known as th© "Farmers' Union Railroad," and this without application to, or order or ap- proval of, this court. (2) An item of $1,177.90, being a note of the " Iowa Terra-Cotta and Fire-Clay Company," received in payment of freights due the company as cash, and credited to the receiver in his accounts as sueh.

We notice them because they were made the subject of an unauthorized inves- tigation before the master, and of a report prepared but not filed by him, and have been discussed ,by counsel on the hearing with the understanding that the court should consider them, in so far as they a.re found proper to be considered, in determining the • question of the receiver's compensation. It woul4 be improper for us to discuss the question whether these items, and others objeoted to, should be alloved to the receiver in his final acoounts. AU questions of that character must be reserved until the hearing upon the master's report upon that subject.

When, he made his certificate it was not known that the execution of the bonds would be denied; neither was the secretary authorized to make a certificate under any other section than the one he did. Besides, the mistake or "accident" of the secre- tary, if any, is the mistake or accident of the plaintifif, whose officer and agent he is. The copies of the bonds certified by the secretary were furnished to the district attorney, together with a transcript of the treasury books, accounts of the agent, and affidavits relating to them, to enable him to bring the proper action thereon; and when an issue of fact, if any, was made therein, it then became his duty to procure the proper evidence for the trial thereof. So, when the defendant denied the execution of the bonds, the burden of proof being oast upon the plaintiff, it was the duty of the district attorney to procure the proper evidence of such execution — a copy of the bonds, certified by the register of the treasury under section 886 — before going to trial. No excuse is given or offered for this negligence. The probability is that it ocGurred trom inadvertence in not observing or bearing in mind the provision in the statute or the deniai in the answer, or both. But in either case the omission is the negligence of the plaintiff, for which a new trial ought not to be granted ; at least, not unle^s what is sometimes called "the justice of the case" strongly demands it, and then only upon terms compensatory to the adverse party. But upon a careful examination of the treasury transcripts, and the circum- stances of the case as shown in the pleadings, I do not think the ends of justice demand a new trial in this case, but the contrary. In this view of the matter the execution of the bonds by Humason may be admitted. The deniai by the defendant is only a constructive one ai best — a deniai of "knowledge or information sufficient to form a be- lief " upon the question — and it may be taken for granted that upon a new trial the plaintiff would be able to establish that fact beyond a doubt. But the default of the principal, if any, and his death, occurred nearly 14 years before this action was brought against his sureties, and 16 years before it was brought to trial. Owing to the great lapse of time and the death of the principal it is difuicult if not impossible to ascertain and make legal proof of facts affecting their liability, that very probably exist, and might have been shown with sufficient cer- tainty, if this action had been brought within a reasonable time. And although the maxim, nullum tempus occurrit regi, applies to the United States as well as the crown, and therefore its right to bring<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ptk054zbx9syzj6q6pvtut2bn3nd4x7 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/94 104 700513 15135658 8177002 2025-06-14T22:36:51Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (11) 15135658 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>80 FEDERAL REFORTER. on file, and therefore there ought not to have been a verdict for the defendant. But it is admitted that there was a verbal stipulation bet'ween the counsel for the plaintif and defendant to the effect that this case should abide the resuit of the case against Humason ; and this stipulation was admitted by the district attorney in open court when the order was made, although he protested that he ought not to be bound by it, as it would not have been made if he had thought the Humason Case would have gone off on a technical failure of proof of the execution of the bonds, as it did. But the court ruled that if the stipulation was admitted, the case must follow the disposition of the Humason one, and thereupon the order tvas made without other or further objection; but it then ap- pearing that the defendant had failed to answer, and it being sug- gested by the court that the record would show error in the proceeding if there was a verdict for the defendant without an answer contro- verting the material allegations of the complaint, an order was made, without objection, giving the defendant leave to file such an answer, m of some day between the filing of the complaint and the trial, which he did, or attempted to do^ as of February 16th. Objection is, taken to this proceeding as being irregular, but in what the irregularity consista is not apparent. The foundation of it was the stipulation of the parties, and when that was admitted and its binding effect considered, what followed wa? a mere matter of form, and even had the consent of the parties at the time. It might have been as well to have waited until final judgment had been given in the Humason Case, and if that was in favor of the de- fendant, then to have moved to dismiss this one. But, in some form, the defendant was entitled under that stipulation to have bis case share the fate of the one against Humason. But admitting the regularity of the proceedings thus far, counsel for the plaintiff insists that the verdict ought to be set aside in this case because the answer of the defendant does not controvert or deny the execution of the bonds, but in eiiect admits it. The answer of Savage contains a deniai of the execution of the bonds "except as hereinafter stated," and then "admits that at the dates mentioned he did, along with his co-obligors mentioned, make a bond to the plaintiff," but does not "remember" the penalty or condition thereof. It may be admitted that this is not a good deniai of the execution or condition of the bond, but it is a question whether it is not suffi- cient to prevent judgment for want of an answer.

In March, 1878, the plaintiff, who was then the administratrix upon Lewis EUis' estais, commenced suit against the defendant in the circuit court of the city of Predericksburg upon said policy. Service of said suit was made upon said Edrington alone. No ap- pearance was made by the defendant. Damages were assessed by a jury against the defendant in the sum of $2,200, and interest from, October 6, 1877. No other service was made. Edrington had no authority from the defendant to accept service, and was not its attor- ney or agent, unless made so by the act of 1877. It is admitted that the policy became eitinguished by the non-pay- ment of premiums in 1861, and that no action would lie for the amount insured thereon, (Ins. Co. y. Statham, 93 U. S. 24;) and that the agenoy of Little was, under the circumstances heretofore stated, terminated by the breaking out of the war. Ins. Co. v. Davis, 95 U. S. 425. But it is insisted that the defendant is bound by the judgment of the Virginia court. The plaintiff 's argument is that, by virtue of the act of 1856, the defendant entered into a contract with the state of Virginia, and with each of the policy-holders, to l^eep an agent in the state to accept process; that although this con- tract was suspended during the war, it revived thereafter, notwith- standing the defendant had ceased to do business within the state, and had abandoned the idea of re-engaging in business, beoause there was or might be a liability upon it for the equitable value of policies whioh had become forfeited by the war, with interest, and that the defendant failing to appoint an agent, the state of Virginia had the right to direct how service of process should be made, and that such service so made would be yalid. ' Assuming that each proposition is true, but not admitting the truth of either as stated, it remains to be shown that Virginia has directed how process should be seryed within the state upon a foreign corpo- ration whioh had, long before the date of the supposed direction, ceased .±0 do business therein. It is said that the state gave such direction by the act of 1877. It seems tome plain that the actof 1877 is prospective, and relates only to the companies which were, at the time of the passage of the act, engaged in the business of making or renewing contraots of Insurance within the state, or should thereafter engage in such business. "Stat- utes are to be considered prospective, unless the language is ex- pressly to the contrary, or there is a necessary implication to that<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 2y3kq1mi3hkzo7qgwjq1n1eyrqiflou Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/100 104 700519 15135532 15130962 2025-06-14T22:34:48Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO 15135532 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>86 FEDBRjLIi REPORTER. was enlisted, and was under 21 years when the trial took place. The district judge decided that the eolistment of a minor who was old enough to understand the contract, and who waa in good faith ac- cepted as being of full age, was yoidable only, and not void ; and that if he had Committed the military offence of desertion, and was under arrest for that crime, and the court-martial had been ordered to try him, he ought not to be discharged on habeas corpus. This view of the rights of the parties is sustained by the authorities cited. See Com. v. GamUe, 11 S. & E. 93; Ex parte Anderson, 16 Iowa, 595; MoCono- logue's Case, 107 Mass. 154, 170, per Gray, J. ; Re Dee, 25 Law Eep. 538; Re Beswick, 25 How. Pr. 149. It is true that Com. v. Gamble, 11 S. & E. 93, is doubted in a later case in the same court, (Com. v. Fox, 7 Pa. St. 336,) but in this case the judges found that the statute made such an enlistment absolutely illegal, and for that reason held it to be void. I have not l'ound a corresponding statute applicable to this case. It is illegalto enlist a marine between 18 and 21 years old, wi>,hout the consent of his parent or guardian, if any he have, and if an ofScer does this knowingly, he is liable to punishment; but this minor had neither parent nor guardian. His contract was voidable at common law ; but I do not see how I can hold it to be void. McNtdty's Case, 2 Low. 270. If not, it seems to follow that if he commits a mil- itary offence, and is actually arreated and in course of trial before the contract is duly avoided, he may be tried and punished. I do not mean to be understood as deciding that it would be desertion in a minor to leave the service openly after demanding his release, nor that he could be tried and punished after a court had released him. It appeared upon the cross-examination of a witness that Wall was actually tried and sentenced while in the constructive custody of the district court, the ofBcer who had him in charge not thinking it worth while to inf orm the court that the proceedings in the district court were pending. This conduct was highly reprehensible. Whether the sentence is a valid one, under these circumstances, is a question not brought here by the appeal, whioh is merely for a review of the decis- ion by the district court. If Wall or his friends should be so advised, they may probably be able to try this question upon new and inde- pendent proceedings.

By this arrangement the fabric is securely held." There are four claims in the re-issue, the first and second being as follo-vs : "(1) The eombination of the side-bars and end-bars and elastie coiled-wire fabric, D, attached only to the end-bars, with the end-bars of the fiume ele- vated above the side-bars, so that the fabric will be suspended above the side- bars from end to end of the frame. (2) The eombination in a removable bed- bottom or bedstead frame of the side-bars, A, standards or comer-piec6s, B, end-bars, C, and the elastie fabric, D, combined and arra;nged substantially as and "for the purposes specifled." The third and fourth claims are substantially identieal with the two claims of the original patent. It was competent for the patentee to restate the invention in a re-issue, so as to point out and claim a characteristie feature which was "not clearly stated in the original, viz., the eombination of side-bars and inclined end-bars, and elastie fabric attached only to the end-bars, the end-bars being elevated above the side-bars, so that the fabric will be stretched from end- bar to end-bar above the side-bars. But an important question is whether it was permissible in the re-issue to abandon the inclined feature of the end-bars. The plaintiff insists that although the original imperfect patent has been enlarged in the re-issue, the lat- ter is not properly open to criticism, because it is the right of the pa'antee, if through palpable mistake or ignorance of the principles of his invention the patent has been cramped within too narrow bounds, to have such mistake corrected, and to have the real princi- ples and character of the invention stated in the re-issue. The defendant insists that upon a comparison of the two patents, eitherwith orwithout a knowledge of the state of the art, the change manifestly introduces new matter; for the inclined end-bar is no longer one of the two featureB of the invention, but any end- bar is included which is sufSciently elevated above the side-bars to meet the liberal requirements of the first claim. The defendant also says that the validity of the re-issue is not of especial importance, because, if valid, the end-bars must, in view of the state of the art, necessarily<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> a4p73wjjtwj0vmnqfspt4reckipdf8t Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/120 104 700539 15135535 8176111 2025-06-14T22:34:51Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PEDEBAL → FEDERAL, TEB. → TER., EBPO → REPO, OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (22) 15135535 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>106 FEDERAL REPORTER.

On the other side of the account is fouiid the amount paid for the discount of these notes. In this way is shown the proceeds of the notes made available for the use of the syndicate. On the other side of the journal is then shown the use made of the fund thus obtained. Among other things, the demand loan at the People's National Bank is taken up, and $20,- 000 loaned the company. For this loan to the company the bills- receivable account shows that the note of the company was taken. With the rest of the proceeds coupons were bought. These cou- pons were held by the treasurer of the syndicate as his vouchers for the note to that extent of the funds in his hands, and were charged in the coupon account of the syndicate. The company had nothing to do with this, and no charge is made against it on the books for any such use of this money. The same will be found true of all the other entries. When money was advanced to the company a corresponding entry is, as a rule, found in the bills-receivable account. Thus, when preparations were made for taking up the sterling coupons, payable in London, the money was advanced to the company and remitted to the agents in London. For these amounts the notes of the company were given to the syndicate. In this way the money was provided to pay the London coupons — not to buy them. Those coupons, when taken up, were extinguished, and no claim is made for them. They do not and never have appeared in the coupon account of the syndicate. The vouchers held for that ad- vance were the notes of the company. It is not claimed that any coupons were bought except in New York and Charleston. The books are in reality between the syndicate and its treasurer, and show in what way he hasdisposed of the funds in his hands. He is, in eiiect, charged with certain amounts of money, and his books show how it has been disbursed. On settlement he produces, as his vouchers, interest and expenses paid, coupons bought, and bills receivable belonging to the syndicate, consisting of the notes of the company taken up from others, or given for money advanced. It is an error to suppose that all the money charged to him was got from the company, or that all he paid out was either advanced to or charged in account against the company. The next question is whether, as between the bondholders and the syndicate, the coupons were bought or paid.

The defendants, whora the complainant seeks to enjoin from bring- ing him to an account in the court of common pleas of Crawford county, are creditors of the Titusville Savings Bank, and they alJeged that the complainant has not lawfully disbursed the said sum of $25,631.88, and that they have not received their pro rata shares thereof to which they are entitled under the deed of voluntary assign- ment. Now, if these allegations are true, are these creditors remedi- less, and where can they obtain relief, if not in the state court? Why should not the complainant file an account in the court of com- mon pleas of Crawford county to the extent of the assets which were excepted from the operation of the decree of this court ? It is true, the decree recites that the complainant had made disbursements, to the amounts specified, to creditors and to the expenses of bis trust, and his commissioners are also specified. But these recitals were merely to show how the cash in his hands,. which he was to pay over to the assignee in bankruptcy, was reduoed to the sum of $801.11. No detailed account was exhibited tothis court, nor were the com- plainant's vouchers produoed ; and the defendants had no oppor- tunity to be heard upon the question of distribution. Can it be maintained, then, that creditors who are entitled to shares of this fund, but who receive nothing, are concluded by vague recitals in the decree of this court ? This would be to pervert the decree from its manifest purpose. Clearly this court did not intend to undertake the distribution, among the parties entitled thereto, of the assets expressly excepted from the operation of its decree, which the com- plainant "collected and converted into money in his capacity of as- signee of said copartnership undef st^te law." As to these assets, theref ore, the complainant must be lef t to settle his account in the appropriate forum.

Plummer "for an alleged new and useful improvement in fruit-driei-s," for the term of 17 years ; and on Octo- ber 9th of the same year a re-issue of said patent, numbered 195,948, was made to him. The specification of the second patent states that — "The object of this invention is to furniah an improved apparatns for dryiug fruit, which shall be snnple in construction, convenieiit in use, and ettVotive In operation, drying the fruit rapidly and evenly, and which shrJl be so con- structed that it inay be readily taken down, set up, and moved lioin place to place;" and that "the invention consists in the case provided in its lower part with a lining set at a little distance from its walls, the large door, the small door, the clesits or slides to recoive the fruit frames or trays, the doors, and the cover and cap to allow the inoisture-laden air to escape, to adapt it for use in drying fruit."

On December 1, 1879, the plaintili, the Corvallis Fruit Company, became the lawful assignee of said patents and improvements for the county of Linn, Oregon; and on Jannary 13, 1881, it brought this suit to restrain the defendants from infringing the same by the man- ufacture and sale of fruit-driers, in said county, "produced by the inventions and improvements described and claimed m said letters patent."

I see no reason, why ^he usage proved in this case is not as rea- sonable as that sustained in the cases cited. Its application must necessarily be extremely limited, and can affect but a few persons. It £as been recognized and acquiesced in for many years. It requires intime firat taker tljeonly act of appropriation that is possible in the nature of the case. Unless it is sustained, this branch of industry must necessarily. cease, for no person would engage in it if the fruits, of his labor could be appropriated by any chance finder. It gives reasonable salvage iior securing or^feporting the property. That the rule 'Works ■well in practice is shown by the estent of the industry which bas grown up under it, and the general acquiescence 6i a whole' community interested to dispute it. It is by no means clear that without regard to usage the common law would not reach the same resuit. That seems to be the eflfect of the decisions in Taber v. Jenny ana JBartlett'v. Eudd. If the fisherman does all that it is possible to do to make the animal his own, that would seem to be sufficient.

Such jurisdiction, with the proper limitations upon it, was never more tersely or clearly stated than by Chief Justice Marshall, in the Marine Ins. Co. v. Hodgson, 7 Cranch, 836 ; " Without attempting," says the learned judge, " to draw any precise line to which courts of equity will advance and which they cannot pass, in restrain- ing parties from availing themselves of judgments obtained at law, it may safely be said that any fact which clearly proves it to be against conscience to execute a judgment, and of which the injured party could not have availed himself in a court of law, or of which he might have availed himself at law but was prevented by fraud or accident, unmixed with any fault or negligence in himself or his agents, will justify an application to a court of chancery." See, also, Tompkins v. Tompkins, 3 Stock. 512; Freeman on Judg- ments, § 491; Inswrance Co. v. Field, 2 Story, 59. The learned. counsel for the defendant, while admitting, on the argument, the general jurisdiction, insisted that there was nothing in the structure of the bill in the present case which authorized the court to treat the suit as an application for a new trial on account of newly-discovered evidence. The specifie prayer undoubtedly is that the judgment be set aside on the ground that it was obtained by fraud. But there is also a prayer for an injunction and for general relief, and under these it has been the practice in equity, unless the case disclosed some defence peouliar to courts of equity and which would be unavailable at law, to decline to go further than to set aside the judgm'ent and leave the parties to a new trial in the original forum. This is especially so when the prayer of the bill is for an injunction ; bills of which sort, says Judge Story, are usually called bills for a new trial. Story, Eq. Jur. § 887. Eegarding the case as in effect an application for a new trial, do the allegations of the bill authorize the court to interfere with the judgment? As the alleged newly-discovered evidence is a legal and not an equi- table defence, the only questions are whether it is sufficient, if true, to prove fraud and injustice in the judgment, and whether the com- plainant has shown due diligence in the effort to procure the testimony for Ihe trial ? 1.

LowELL, C. J. The plaintiff, residing at Ossipee, held two mort- gages upon the house of Abram Cole, at Grafton, aud applied, in January, 1874, to Buel C. Carter, of Wolfborougb, to insure bis interest as mortgagee. Carter was agent for some Insurance com- panies and was applied to in that obaracter, and promised to place the risk in a good company. He was not the agent of the defendant Company, except that Kufus P. Staniels, Iheir general agent for Concord and the vicinity, had asked him to send to him any risks which he did not place in bis owo companies. This had been done in several instances before 3874, and the course of business was for Carter to forward the apph'cationa or memoranda of a risk to Staniels, and if it was accepted Staniels sent Carter a policy, which Carter delivered on payment of the premium, and was allowed 10 per cent, of the premium for his commissioni. < In April, 1874, in pursuance of the request of the plaintiff. Carter made oiit a paper, which may he copsidered to be an application. It ia, in form, an agent's daily memorandum. It is headed Germania "Pire Insurance Co.," and proceeds: "Insurance is granted to Abram Cole, of Gorham, N". H., on two-story frame dwelling-house, ell and barn connected, oceupied in summer season for summer boarding-house, and in winter by assured as dwelling-house, $1,500; on fur- niture therein, $500. Situate near Gorham village, on the road to Randolph, if. H. Payable, in case of loss, to George B. Frost, [this should be George B. Sias, and is so in the policy,] of Ossipee, as his interest may appear," On the back are many particulars of the situation of the property, with a diagram, etc. This paper appears to have been sent to Car- ter's correspondents in Boston and to have been rejected by them, and then to have been enclosed to Staniels, who accepted the risk and issued a policy, dated May 1, 1874, insuring Cole for two.years, payable to the plaintiff as- his interest should appear. This policy he sent to Carter, who sent it to Sias. Carter received the premium and paid it to Staniels, after deduoiing his commission. Pive hun- dred dollars was insured on the fumiture, in which Sias had no interest. This would seem to be a mistake of Carter's. Sias paid the premium himself and intended to insure his own interest, and had no authority or request from Cole, the mortgagor, to insure the equity. He called Carter's attention to the form of policy and asked him if it insured his interest and that only, and was informed by him that it did. The buildings were destroyed by fire in July, 1875, and Sias brought an action, which Was removed to and tried in this court, Judge Shepley presiding.

The decided cases may be thua stated : If, at any term, the cause is at issue upon its merits, or would have been at issue but for the negligence of the party petitioning for the removal, and by the law and practice of the state is presently triable, that is the latest term for removal, although the parties or the court may not be ready, and may have a perfectly valid excuse for not trying the case at that term, such as illness, absence of witnesses, a crowded docket, etc. See Gumee v. Brunswick, 1 Hughes, 270, 277; Stough v. Hatch, 17 Blatchf. 233; Forrest v.Keeler, H. 432; Fidton v. Golden, 8 Eep. 517; Ames V. Colorado Cent. R. Ce. 4 Dill. 260; Atlee v. Potter, H. 559; Murray v. Holden, 10 Bep. 162; Blackwell v. Braun, 1 Fbd. Eep. 351. On the other hand, if a case is not at issue without fault on the part of the petitioner for removal, or if, by the law and practice of the state, the second term iS the trial term, then the petitition may be filed at the term at which the issues are made up, or at such trial term, as the case may be. Scott v. Clinton B. Co. 6 Bish. 529; War- ner V. Penn. B. Co. 13 Blatehf. 231; Hunter v. Royal Ins. Co. 3 Hughes, 234; McCullov,gh v. Sterling Farniture Co. 4 Dill. 563; Palmer V.

" If the local law makes the first term after the suit is brought an appear- ance term merely, and declares that the second term is the one at which the cause may be brought to trial, then the latter is the term at or before which the petition for removal must be filed." Per McCreary, J., in Murray v. Hol- den, 10 Eep. 162. These decisions lean to the side of strictness, and in favor of the utmost diligence, and go very far in that direction. I do not agree that the absence of evidence might not be enough to prove that the case could not be tried at a certain term. For instance, it is usual in patent causes in equity, where the evidence is all taken in writing, to order the plaintiff to put in his case within a certain time, and the defendant to finish his case at a certain other time, and the plaintiff to take his rebutting testimony within a third time. It is impossi- ble, in my judgment, to admit that such a case could be tried before the expiration of the latest of those periods. The decisions, therefore, must be taken to mean that, if the cause could, in ordinary course, be tried, but for what I have called an accident, or beeause the par- ties do not choose to try it, the time for removal bas come.

It seems to me that the clear intimation, in HacJcett v. Ottawa are that the improyement of the water-power in Ottawa and its vicinity was a corporate purpose within the meaning of the constitution of 1848, and that, conceding that Eames was fully advised of the pur- pose for which these bonds were issued, he has the right to maintain an action against them, Proof was introduced showing that the plaintiff, Cary, derived title to these bonds from Eames, and that he was a member of the common councilof Ottawa in 1872 and 1873, and that he votedwith the other members of the common council to repudiate these bonds. The law is well settled, I think, that if these bonds passed out of the defendant to a honafide holder for value before due, a subsequent purohaser of the bonds, even with knowledge of any taint upon them, is to be protected. It appears from the proof in this case that the contemplated issue of these bonds was a matter of general notoriety, It was discussed at public meetings, voted upon at a, public election, the action of the common council was of the most public character, their various ordinances and prooeedings in regard to the disposition of the bonds were published in the corporation newspaper and commented upon by the press of the city generally,-and it cannot but be assumed that the citizens of the city, the tax payers, and 'those interested in the subject, musfc have known for some time before the bonds were issued, not only that they were to be issued, but the use to be made of them; and the question is, is it right that a city which now represents the same citizens who stood by and acquiesced in the issue of these bonds shall be allowed to repudiate them in the hands of one of their own citizens, even, who has paid full value, and whose money has been, so far as we know, faithfully expended for the purpose which the bonds were designed to further? Here was, at least, a full claim of power to issue them. This municipality was by its charter empowered to issue bonds to an unlimited extent for corporate purposes, if sanctionod by a vote of the people. The ci'y authorities treated water-power improve- ment as a public pttrpose ;■ the eitikens not only acquiesced in it, but publicly voted for it by a large majority.

The guardian conveyed to Hodges on March 11, 1867, who, on October 10, 1870, conveyed the north half of the premises to J. S. Bevens and the south half to M. E. Davis, who afterwards conveyed to the defendants — the latter on October 26, 1871, and the former on December 7, 1872. The first point made by the plaintiff in support of the motion for a new trial is that the court erred in admitting the copies of the pro- ceedings upon the inquisition of lunacy, because the originals were void, not having been kept atid entered in the proper book, To un- derstand this objection itis necessary to pjremise that the county court "has the jurisdiction pertaining to probate courts and boards of county eommissioners, *: * * and such civil jurisdiction, not exr ceeding the amount of value of $500, * * * as may be prescribed by law." Const. art. 7, § 12. And by section 876 of the Civil Code it is provided that these three kinds of business, to-wit, (1) leases at law; (2) probate business ; and (3) county business, "shallbe entered and kept in separate books ;" and the argument of the plaintiff is that these orders belong to. probate business, but have been entered in the book with county business, and are therefore void. The argument assumes that said section 876 was in force when these transactions took place. But this is a mistake. The Civil Code, although passed on October 11, 1862, didnot take effect until June 1, 1863. But upqn examination we find that substantially the same provision coneerning "the settlement of the estates of minors, idiots, and lunatics, and all cases of the nature of probate," and "all county business," was con- tained in section 21 of the act of June 4, 1859, relating to county courts, (Sess. Laws, 12,) and then, and until June 1, 1863, in force and applicable to these proceedings. It does not appear from the certificate of the clerk to these copies, dated October 13, 1874, that the originals were not entered in a separate book, On the contrary, the fair inference from the certifir cate is that they wereso kept, The clerk describes himself as "the keeper of the probate records," and then certifies that the transcript is a true copy of the original orders made by the court in the "com- mitment" and esta te of William Fulton.

In this particular case it seems the judge likened it to county business, and had the pro- ceedings entered and kept aocordingly as of a regular term of the court. But admitting that he erred in this matter, and that the inquisition should have been kept and entered in the records of the probate bus- iness, as claimed by the plaintiff, still the resuit is not .affected by this mistake of the officer. The act directing the business transacted in the county court to be kept and entered in different books, accord- ing to a certain classification of the same, is so far a mere regulation for convenience, and not of the essence of the thing to be done, and therefore only directory. When a statute gives directions or makes provisions concerning the time and manner of doing an officiai act, affecting the rights and duties of third persons, it will generally be considered directory, unless the nature of thy act to be done or the language of the statute indicates tha contrary. Smith's Com. § 670; Cooley's Const. Lim. 74; Toney v. Milbury, 21 Pick. 67; Corhet v. Bradley, 7 Nev. 107; People v. Cook, leBarb. 290; S. C. 8 N. Y. 67; Rex V. Foxdale, 1 Bur. 447. In this latter case Lord Mansfield said : "There is a known distinction between ciroumstanoes which are of the essence of a thing required to be done by an act of parliament, and clauses meiely directory." In the case under consideration there is nothing in the nature of the act to be done, nor the language of the statutes directing ii to be done, ■that indicates that it was the intention of the legislature to make the validity of a judgment or order of a county court, duly given or made, depend upon the fact that it is recorded in a particular book; and that if, from the ignorance or negligence of the clerk, it is entered in the ■wrong one it is therefore void. The statute requiring the proceed- ings in this inquisition of lunacy to be kept and entered in a partic- ular book with a certain class of business is merely directory ; and, although the officer ought to have obeyed it, third persons are not to suffer for his omissions to do so. The entry of the proceedings in the records of the court was essential, — the essence of the thing to done; but whether in a book of this or that class of business was a mere matter of convenience, and the statute providing for it is there- fore directory. The plaintiff also insists that the inquisition is void because taken upon a petition not verified, because, as counsel stateS it, Pulton was arrested and imprisoned in the asylum without "probable cause,<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> tk6xfujbd9b6pnjfjaldr5cdteu375j Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/228 104 700648 15135549 8176228 2025-06-14T22:35:04Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, removed: � (8) 15135549 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>214 FEDERAL REPORTER. order directed to the sheriff co mmanding him to bring Fulton before the court "on the presumption of insanity," to be dealt with according to the statuts, and the sheriff made a return thereon that he "arrested" the person named and brought him before the court. This order, judged by its purpose and mode of execution, was, in effeot, a proces» for the arrest of Fulton issued without information upon oath. But all process for the arrest of a party is not included in the word "warrant" as used in the constitution. A capias, or writ of arrest in a civil action, is not a "warrant" in that sense, and it is issued at common law as a matter of course, without oath. S Black. 281. A warrant within the meaning of the constitution is an authority for the arrest of a porson upon a criminal charge, with a view to his commitment and trial thereon. The arrest of a person upon a charge of insanity, for the purpose of his commitment or confinement in an insane asylum, is, strictly speaking, neither an arrest in a civil or criminal proceeding, but is one sui generis. Still it partakes more of the character of the lat- ter than the former, and ought not, in this day of regard for personal liberty, to be allowed otherwise than upon information on oath. This act, which practically allows the arrest of a person upon the charge of insanity on the unverifled statement of any citizen, and his commitment to the asylum upon the verified statement of any one "physician" selected by the county judge that he is insane, was prob- ably prepared and passed in the interest of the contractors, who naturally enough wanted the entry to the asylum made expeditious and easy. At common law the king was the guardian of lunatios, and the custody of them was entrusted by him to the chancelier. Upon a petition or information alleging the insanity of any one, the chancel- lor granted a commission to inquire into the matter by the verdict of a jury; and, if the person was thus found insane, committed him to the care of some friend, called his committee. 1 Black. 304.

He departed this life on or about February 28, 1873, having first made and executed his last will and testament, which, omitting the mere formai clause, was as follows : "(1) It is mj will, and I do hereby order and direct my executor hereinafter named, to pay all my just and lawful debts, death-bed and f uneral expenses, as soon after my decease as may be convenient for him so to do. (2) I do hereby give and bequeath unto Sarah Jane McClelland, my housekeeper, for services rendered, the brick house now occupied by me, together with the ground surrounding the aforesaid brick house, said ground being of the fol- lowing dimensions : Ninety feet front on William street, about 126 feet deep, running along the north-easterly line of Greenwich street, being a plat of ground 90 feet front ^nd rear, and 126 feet deep, and now fenced in as a gai-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> i2qjsw513bmrk5wi010aq0u7riadra1 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/236 104 700656 15135551 8176237 2025-06-14T22:35:06Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTEB → PORTER, BBPORT → REPORT, BAL RE → RAL RE, removed: � (11) 15135551 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>■223 FEPERAL REPORTER. Street, in Bellville, which was subsequently run ofi into lots by the executor, seven of which he sold to one Francis Haggerty, oa the tweuty-fourth of March, 1874, for the aum of $3,631.50. With this knowledge of the condition of the eatate, it does net seem ■that the construction of the will ought to occasion much serious con- troversy. It is the duty of the court to ascertain from the whole instrument the intention of the testator, and to give effect, so far as practicable, to all the provisions of the will. When these confiict, they must, if possible, be so construed that all may stand. It is obvions that the housekeeper, Sarah Jane McClelland, was the spe- cial object of the testator's bounty. It was clearly his design to make provision out of the estate for her comfortable support. To this end, he gave to her, absolutely, his dwelling-house, with all the furniture, for her home. He ordered the rents and profits of other designated real estate to be used during her life for the payment of taxes, and to keep the house in proper repair. He further directed the payment of $15 monthly for the current expenses of her living, and provided that the money for this purpose should be paid from or out of his undivided estate. To what, then, is she entitled under the will? (1) To all the furniture and other personal property, and to an estate in f ee-simple in the brick house, and the lot or garden on which it stands, 90 feet in width and 126 f eet in depth ; (2) to a life estate in the two tenement houses known as the "shop," and a lot 60 feet in width and 75 J feet in depth; (3) to the monthly payment of $15 during her life, to be derived from the sale of real estate not otherwise specifically disposed of. Where there is a complete disposition of the personal property by the testator, and there is no possibility of the payment of a legacy or money ordered to be raised for a specifie purpose except from the real estate, it is the duty of the courts to presume that he meant to charge the land for such payment. See Goddard v. Pomeroy, 13 Bart. 546; 1 How. 1. Applying this settled rule of construction to the present case, the $1,000 which was ordered to be used from the estate for fencing, grading, and placing a head-stone on the burying lot of the testator, should be paid by the executor from the proceeds of the sale of the land authorized to be sold. What, then, is the duty of the executor ? (1) To surrender to Sarah Jane McClelland the furniture specifically be- queathed to her, and also the absolute possession and control of the brick house, with the lot, as descr^bed in the will. (2) To allow to her the reuts and profits of the house and building known as the "shop," with the lot,<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> eylivmjtq5r7cudd69b3lhq36nc34ge Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/242 104 700663 15135552 8176244 2025-06-14T22:35:07Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: wlie → whe, wheu → when , POBT → PORT, removed: � (9) 15135552 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>228 FEDERAL BSPORTKB. waukee for 20 cents per 100 pounda, its lowest rate, and took the freight by its own conveyances from the malt-house to the cars, making no extra charge for the extra service. The freight agent of the road testifies that the malt was removed from the place pf manufacture to the cars at the expense of the railroad Company, and that at London and s.everal other competing points in Canada the presoribed rates of freight for the entire trans- portation include the expense of removal of merchandise from the place where it may be at the time to the railroad station. In other words, in the case in hand the claimant would have had to pay the same rate for transportation of this malt from London to Milwaukee, if he bad himself delivered it at the depot in London, as lie in fact contracted to pay ; the railroad company assuming the removal of the malt from the malt-house to the cars. The transaction on the part of the railroad company, then, was equivalent to the removal of the malt without expense to the shipper. As, therefore, the trans- portation or removal of the malt from the malt-house to the cars cost the shipper nothing, there was nothing to be added as expense of sucb removal to the dutiable value. I hold, therefore, that the third alleged ground of forfeiture is unsustaiued. 4. The more serions question in the case is that which is involved in the deduction which the claimant made on the invoice of the malt furnished to the consular agent at the time of shipment, of 2|^ per cent, for dust. After providing that all invoices of imported mer- chandise shall be made in triplicate and signed by the persou owning or shipping the merchandise, the statute (section 2854, Eev. St.) declares that — "AU such invoices shall, at or before the shipment of the merchandise, be produced to the consul, vice-consul, or commercial agent of the United States nearest the place of shipment, for the use of the United States, and shall have indoised thereon, when so produced, a declaration signed by the purchaser, manufacturer, owner, or agent, setting forth that the invoice is in all respects true; that it contains, if the merchandise mentioned therein is subject to ad valwem duty, and was obtained by purchase, a true and full statement of the time when and the place where the saane was purchased, and the actual cost thereof, and of all charges thereon ; and that no discounts, bounties, or draw- backs are contained in the invoice, but such as have actually been allowed thereon." It is insisted by the attorney for the government that under this statute no discount or drawback could be lawfully made or inserted in the claimant's invoice in this case, unless it was one allowed to the purchaser of the malt ; , and the prosecution of the case, upoii this<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 6ll9d9in06bj1lpjriomzf56mbjif66 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/252 104 700673 15135553 12964713 2025-06-14T22:35:08Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, BBPO → REPO, PORTEB → PORTER, FEDERAI → FEDERAL, removed: � (6) 15135553 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>238 FEDERAL; REPORTER, from out the water.or while cast away upoi» the shore. From the moment ot the "wreck, or commencement of the distress, until restored to their rightful owner, the goods are within the protection of this statute, into whosesoever hands they corne wlth knowledge that they belong to the wrecked or distressed vessel. Nor is the sniallness of their value at allmaterial. Whether by efflux of time, the length of distance to which they hare been carried by the cur- rent or otherwise, or the conduct of the owners of the goods in abandoning them, they ever cease to be protected by this statute, we need not inquire, becE^use, under the circumstances of their case, as shown by the proof, there was no such lapse of time, distance from the wreck, or abandonment as would protect the defendant. We are not authorized by the use of the word 'steal' in this section, nor Other words used in describing this oiience, to import into this statute from the common or statutory laws of England or the state the elements of the crime of larceny of goods upon land as known to those laws. No specifie intent is necessary to constitute this ofEence, and any intent is unlawful and suBlcient for the guilt of the ofEender, except that alone of tak- ing the goods for the purpose of restoring them to the master or other offlcei of the unfortunate vessel, or to their ultimate rightful owner. If a person near thewireck does not intend to restore the goods, or intends to make any other use of them than preserving them for the master or owner of the vessel, or owner of the goods, he must let them alone or he violates this statute. Nor is the time when the unlawful intent is conoeived material. If the acclised takes the goods with the lawful intent to preserve and restore them, and afterwards yields to the temptation of avaiice or cupidity, and couverts or destroys them, he violates this statute. "Again, the manner of taklng is Wholly immaterial, whether by open force or stealth, or otherwise. The words of this statute are sweeping and com- prehensive.; They include all unlawful taking, whether on the facts the crime at common law would be piracy, robbery, lar43eny simple, mixed, or compound, malicious misehiefi or what not; and includes such taking as would, under statutory offences, be called embezzlement, crimiual or fraudulent breach of trust. To illustrate: At common law, if y ou givo your goods to the master of avessel to be carried asfreight, and he appropriates or couverts or destroys the whole cargo or package, he is not guilty of larceny, but only a breach of trust; but if he breaks the package and takes a part, he is guilty of larceny. Now, we have no such reflnement in this statute, and, if the vessel be wrecked or in distress at the time of the taking, the master would be guilty, if not of stealing, certainly of plundering, and would be caught by this statute in a crime, as he should be. This statute is not, gentlemen of the jury, a dead letter, as bas been said by counsel; nor does ignorance of it at all excuse the crime. The act of taking for your own use, or to destroy or otherwise deapoil the owner of goods that are wrecked, either from the wreok or afloat, is in itself morally wrong, and it must so occur to every man whose sensibilities are not bluntedby avarice, and that it is against common right to do it. It may not be against common law, but every man should expect to fmd some law in some statute somewhere to punish it.

And alBO refused the following asked by the defendant : "(1) Lareeny is the felonious taking and earrying away the personal goods or chattels of another. In order to.eonstitute this oiience there must first be a taking from the possession, either actual or constructive, of the owner; and such taking must be felonious — that is, with the speoifi(y intent on the part of the taker to deprive the true owner thereof. Furthermore, before the tak- ing as above defined can be regarded as felonious, it must be without color of right or claim on the part of the taker. "(2) if a man takes the goods of another under the honest belief, however ill founded, that he has a right to do so, he is not guilty of lareeny or stealing, and cannot be convicted, under thia statute, of stealing, by reason of such taking. "(3) As a raie every man is conclusively presumed to know the law, and cannot excuse his unlawful act because he was ignorant it was unlawful ; but this general rule has many exceptions. Among these exceptions is the case where a man takes goods under a mtsapprehension of his legal rights, and he cannot be convicted of stealing them. In such case there is the absence of spe- cifie intent to steal, which is an indispensable element of lareeny. "(5) If the jury find that defendant took goods in the river floating from the wreck, as stated in the above charge, with lawful intent, and subsequently determined to appropriate said goods to his own use, and did so, nevertheless he cannot be convicted under this indictment of the offenee of stealing goods belonging to the steamer Vicksburgh. In other words, the taking of the prop- erty and the intent to steal it must be cotemporaneous, one with the other. ^'(6) The court further charges you that if the articles which the defendant is charged in the indictment with stealing were taken by him whilst they were floating in the water, at the time when they had escaped from the custody and control of the crew of said steamer, then the defendant cannot be convicted of stealing goods belonging to the said steamer, as is charged in the fourth count of the indictment, unless you find that at the time of such taking that he knew such goods belonged to said steamer, and at the time of such taking intended to steal them. "(7) In order to find the defendant guilty on the first and second counts of this indictment, which respectively charge the defendant with pluudering and stealing the articles mentioned in said counts from the steamer Vicks- burgh, before you can convict him you must find, beyond a reasonable doubt, that said articles were taken from some part of said steamer. If they were floating in the water, separate from the wreck, they were not taken from the steamer, and the defendant muSt be acqaitted of the charge contained in the flrst and second couuts. "(8) The court charges you that when you corne to consider of your verdict it is your duty to take up in their order each of the counts contained in the indictment. If you flnd him not guilty of the first count, you should then consider whether he be guilty on the second count, and so On with each suc- ceeding count to the end. If you flnd him guilty on any count,, you should state in your verdict under what count you so flnd him guiity.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 9pnvt8dlb2uc4pqxd0yxtc6dwps4vtx Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/258 104 700680 15135555 10426057 2025-06-14T22:35:10Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: wheu → when , OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (6) 15135555 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>214 FEDERAL REI>ORTER. 2 Pars.

The floating goods are sti]l in the constructive possession of the owner or the vessel, more like those in a house on fire, and are not abaudoned because in peril. If one remove them for preservation, intending to keep them for the owner, but afterwards secrete and appropriate them, there is no lar- ceny at commou law, but only a breach of trust. Rex v. Leigh, 2 East, P. C, 694; 2 Bish. Crim. Law, § 837; 2 Ben, & Heard, Lead. Crim. Cas. 426. If, however, the intent at the time of taking had been to appropriate the goods to her own use, the judgment in that case would have been different, nor would the defendant have been excused upon any theory that she entertained a honafide belief that fthen a house was on fire the goods in it or taken from it belong to any one who secured possession of them, or that she did not think it stealing and did not intend to steal, but only to take what she sup- posed she might rightfully take. That would have been trying the act of the accused by her own mental characterization of that act. On that theory, if one takes money from under a pillow at night, and by stealth, he might have his crime excused by showing by his own testimony or otherwise his state of mind on the subject, and that he entertained an honest belief that he could do that thing without any wrong to the owner. This seems to me the resuit of the argument made for the defendant here, when we are asked to hold that, if he believed that he had a right to take these goods for his own use, he is not guilty. "That there is a prevalent belief along this river that goods float- ing from a wreck may be appropriated by those who "capture" them from the water is, perhaps, true; and it may be that goods so sit- uated are supposed to belong to the first taker by those who know better than to apply the same rule of conduct to goods Ibst or in peril by fire or other disaster on land. But it seems to me plain that this preposterous elaim of right cannot serve to excuse the taking either at common law or under the statute. I do not see how any man whose moral sensibilities are not blunted by the temp- tation always afforded by such disasters, whether on land or sea, and who is not wholly demoralized in the presence of the temptation, can fail to recognize the wrong in it.

If we admit that the facts in this case do not con- Btitute larceny, or that those do not which are mentioned in State v. Conway, supra, where an iron safe belonging to a wrecked vessel was taken from the river and its contents appropriated after notice of their ownership, under circumstances, said by the supreme court of Missouri, to show that the perpetrators were "unmindful of the duties of good and honest men," I am still of opinion that either case falls within this statute, because, if not stealing in the sense of the com- mon law, it was plundering, as known to this statute; if not in the Conway Case, oertainly in this, where the distressed vessel was almost in sight and the goods were eonfessedly known to belong to her. Mr. Stephen says of this word "plunder" that he does not know that it has any special legal signification. Steph. Dig. Crim. Law, (St. Louis Ed. 1878,) 261, 266, and notes. The lexicographers define it as that which is taken from an enemy by force : "spoil;" "rapine;" "booty;" "pillage," etc. Worcest. Dict. ; Webst. Dict. In Eoget's Thesaurus it_will be found grouped with "mutilation," "spoilation," "destruction," and "sack," at section 619; with "harm," "wrong," "molest," "spoil," "despoil," "lay waste," "dismantle," "demolish," "consume," "overrun," and "destroy," at section 649; with "booty," "spoil," and "prey," at section 793; and with "taking," "catohiiig," "seizing," "carrying away," "stealing," "thieving," "depredation," "pilfering," "larceny," "robbery," "marauding," "embezzlement," "filch," "pilfer," and "purloin," at sections 791, 792, (Sears' Ed. 1866.) In Abbott's Law Dictionary "plunder" is said to be often used to express the idea of taking property without right to do so; but not as expressing the. nature of the wrong involved, or necessarily imputing a felonious intent. 2 Abb. Dict. 284, word, "Plunder." In Bouvier's Law Dictionary it is limited to the idea of capturing prop- erty from a public enemy on land; but "plunderage" is defined as a maritime term for the "embezzlement" of goods on board- a ship. The word is used in Eev. St. § 5361, in describing an intent as a synonym of "despoil," this being also a section of the act of 1825, from which the onewe are considering was taken, Thefirst English statute of 7 and 8 Geo. IV. c. 29, § 18, used the words "plunder or steal," but contained a proviso that where things of small value were cast onshore and were stolen, without circumstances of violence, the offender might be prosecuted for simple larceny ; which shows that the statute was not regarded as declaring the crime of larceny sim- ply, but something more.

It is said by a learned annotator that the finder of a lost article of goods may have three motives — (1) To keep it and use it as his own; (2) to keep it for the ovmer when ascertained ; (3) to keep it for a reward. 2 Ben. & Heard, Lead. Crim. Cas. (2d Ed.) 431. To which may be added, in cases like this, that of depriving the owner of his property by destruction, if that can be an intent independent of that to use it ae property belonging to the finder, or supposed by him to belong to himself, as in this case. I am unable to see any other motive, and the ingenuity of counsel bas not satisfactorily suggested any; and I eharged the jury in thia case that if the second and third of these motives existed this statute was not violated, but if any other were found it was, and, it seems to me, clearly so. It was said in argu- ment one might drag goods from the river to see if worth saving^ and, on examination, supposing them worthless, immediately cast them back. I understand the authorities to hold that if kept but for a moment with the unlawful intent the crime is complete. 2 Whart. Crim. Law, § 1789. So, if in the case put the intent were to appropriate the goods to his own use, the statute would be violated ; but if it were to save them for the owner it would not. However, if excused in the case suggested it would not be for want of unlawful intent, but because the act of taking had not been completed. I consider the case of the U. S. v. Pitman, 1 Sprague, 196,— and see The Missouri's Cargo, Id. 260, for a fuller statement of facts, — as a direct authority, in support of the charge given to the jury. The learned counsel for the defendant, who have defended this case with a pertinacity and zeal that charaoterizes all they do, and a profes- sional ability that could not be surpassed, — and I say this sincerely, and not to assuage defeat, — have gone into an elaborate argument and citation of authorities to show that the learned judge in that case uses the word "embezzlement" as the synonym of "larceny," which, it is said, was the crime committed, and also that Chancellor Kent and other judges have so used the word. I shall not stop to inquire whether Pitman could have been convicted of larceny at com- mon law, but I doubt it. I think, however, that the court in that case did not so use the word, but rather in the sense used in the maritime law, as any fraudulent taking by the crew of parts of the cargo. 1 Bouv.

This will aocount for any surprise so far as the court may be concerned ; and if the fact were that any testimony had been excluded, or ruling made, to the prejudice of the defendant, because of the failure of the court to detect this peculiarity of the indictment, and because of the supposition that we were trying separate offences under it, or any injury could have resulted, I should now grant a new trial. But it is plain to me that no harm bas been done him by this mode of pleading and trial. Even if they had been separate offences — or separate indictments, for that matter — they could have been Consoli- dated under our statutes and'tried together, Eev. St. § 1024. Again, when so consolidated into one indictment, with separate counts, a general verdict is proper, and will be sustained if any of the counts be good and charge an oEfence. T. & S. Code, (Tenn.) § 5217; 2 King's Dig. (2d Ed.) §§ 2185, 2003, and cases cited; 1 Arch. Crim. PI. (8th Ed.) 292, and notes; U. S. v. Pirates, supra.- 5 Wh. 184; U. S. V. Patterson, 6 M. L. 466, 469; U.

This last case is a direct authority for disregarding the unnecessary separation of a statutory offence into several counts where it is made out by proof of acts of differing character, but all included in the statutory definition of the offence. It was a case where the defendants were indicted very much as in this case, under the second section of the act of March 3, 1835, (4 St. 776, — now Bev. St. § 6359,) for endeavoring to make a revolt or mutiny, etc., etc. The court says : " It is practically unimportant whether the provisions of the second section are expounded as so many instances or methods in which the offence of an endeavor to make a revolt or mutiny may be manifested, or whether they are taken distributively, and understood to be so many separate and distinct offences, each being sufficient of itself to sustain an indictment. The three counts of this indictment are so framed as to secure to the United States the advantage of either construction. It appears to me, thevefore, that the court did not err in instructing the jury that, if the acts charged in the indictment were satisfactorily sustained by the evidence, and if the defendant committed those acts with intent to resist the master in the free and lawful exercise of his authority on board of the vessel, they would amoant, in law, to an en- deavor to make a revolt."

In behalf of the bankrupt it is claimed that such a transaction is within subdivision 3 of section 5110, and therefore subject to the four months' limitation therein prescribed. The particular time of the seizure on execution is not stated in the specifications, and fchough it sufficiently appears that it must have been within six months of the adjudication, it is not stated to have been within four months; and I assume that it was not. If the objectors intended to rely on subdivision 3, they were bound to state the seizure to have been within the time limited by that' subdivision. Not having done sb, the specifications cannot be sustained under subdivision 3. For the creditors, however, it is claimed that the case falls under subdivision 9 of section 5110, as an "indirect" transfer, made in con- templation of bankruptcy, for the purpose of preventing the property from coming into the hands of the assignee. I have not been re- ferred to any case deciding the precise point here presented. Whatever the actual facts may be, the statements in the specifica- tions must, for the purposes of this hearing, be taken as true. The facts stated constitute of themselves an act of bankruptcy, and show a collusive judgment and execution sale upon a fictitious claim, for the purpose of preventing the property from coming to the hands of the assignee. In the Shick Case, 2 Ben. 5, this court held that a similar fictitious judgment and sale on execution "were in substance and effect, within the provisions of section 39, (section 5021,) a transfer of the property of the debtor, made by him." And this was held although section 39 did not expressly embrace indirect transfers. Subdivision 9 of sec- tion 5110 expressly includes "indirect" as well as direct transfers; and I cannot doubt that, by the use of that word, it was intended to include every device of the bankrupt by which the same purpose and effect are accomplished as by a direct transfer. It is scarcely credible that in declaring the effect of seizures upon execution procured by the bankrupt, as in subdivision 3, the statute could have intended to refer to fraudulent and fictitious judgments and executions, which, as respects creditors, have uone of the merits<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 7bear082l9adrafkh6rw7wbpqaqsarp Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/284 104 700706 15135561 8176289 2025-06-14T22:35:16Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, EDEBAL → EDERAL , REPOB → REPOR, ORTBB → ORTER, removed: � (8) 15135561 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>^70 FEDERAL REPORTER.

Green, one of the plaintiffs, May 9, 1871, for an "improvemont in the methods of constructing artesian ■wells;" the original patent, No. 73,425, having been granted to said Green, as inventor, January 14, 1868, on an application filed March ,17, 1866. The specification of the re-issue says: " My invention is particularly intended for the construction of artesian wells in places where no rock is to be penetrated. The methods of construct- ing wells previous to this invention were what have been kno wu "as ' sinking ' and ' boring,' in both of which the hole or opening constituting the well was produced by taking away a portion of the earth or rock through which it was made. This invention consists in producing the well by driving or forcing down an instrument' into the grotind untiT it reaohes the water, the hole or opening being thus made by a mere • displacement of the earth, which is packed around the instrument, and not removed upward from the hole, as it is in bqring. The instrument to be employed in producing such a ivell, which, to histiiiguish it from ' sunk ' or ' bored ' wells, maybe termed a ' driven well,' may be any that is capable of sustaining the blows or pressure necessary to drive it into the earth; but 1 pi'efer to eniploy a pointed rod, which, after having been driven or forced down until it reaehes the water, I withdraw, and replace by a tube made air-tight. throughout its length, except at or near its lower end, where I make openings or perforations for the admission of water, and through and from which the water may be drawn by any well- known or suitable form of purap. In certain soils, the use of a rod prepara- toryto the insertion of a tube is unnecessiiry, as the tobeitself, through which the water is to be draWn, may be the instrument which produces the well by the aet of driving it into the ground to the requisite depth. To enable others to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe it with reference to the drawing, in which figure 1 represents a portion of the pointed rod above mentioned, and figure 2 a portion of the tube which forms the casing or lin- ing of the well.

The construc- tion of a well, spoken of in the specification as the invention made, and which it must be presumed was intended to be secured, is, thus, not merely the displacement of the earth by driving down the instru- ment or the tube, but is, in addition, having the air-tight tube in the earth with the earth packed around it, and a process arranged, by the meehanical aid of a pump, attached by an air-tight connection to the tube, for causing the water to enter the perforations at the lower end of the tube and issue from the upper end of the tube. What particular forces are in operation to produee this process of obtaining water, when the well is not a flowing well, is of no impor- tance. The specification need not explain, The meehanical means are fully explained which resuit in the obtaining of the water, from the commencement of the driving. The process of obtaining the water comprehends all the ste,ps which form part of that process, as they resuit from or attend the meehanical means set forth. The pro- cess consists in having an air-tight tube with the earth tightly packed around it, resulting from compacting the earth by displacing it by driving a rod or the tube, and having a pump attached at the top of the tube by an air-tight connection, and, by the operation of the pump, obtaining a supply of water at the top. In describing how the invention is made and used, so as to enable others to make and use it, the description inoludes driving the rod, putting in the air- tight tube, and having the pump, and obtaining a continuons supply of water. The invention being thus defined in the specification, the claim is to be construed as broadly as the invention, unless neces- sarily restricted by the langaage used in the claim. The claim is : " The process of constructing wells by driving or forcing an instrument into the ground until it is projected into the water, without removing the earth upward, as it is in boring, substantially as described." Where the well is a flowing well, the water will flow as soon as the hole is made, and to make the hole by driving and displacement, and insert the tube and have the water flow, develops the process. Where the well is not a flowing well, the pump, in addition, is neces- sary, and the use of the pump in the well so made is a use of the process. Driving or forcing an instrument into the ground until it ia projected into the water, without removing the earth upward aa it is in boring, is an essential element in the process, in either case ; and,<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 8m7zsknyj197krr990e5r5cstiodgdf Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/316 104 700738 15135564 8176325 2025-06-14T22:35:19Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: wbere → where, AIi → AL , EDBRA → EDERA, POBT → PORT, BBPO → REPO, PORTB → PORTE, removed: � (8) 15135564 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>302 FEDERAL REPORTER. sami>Ies of ore were taken from all parts of the vein, and found to odntain silver and lead. The rnups put before you by plaintiff to show the condition of the groundgive the vein as extending from one claim to the other; and clearly that is the position assumed. On the other hand, defendants contend that the ground in eontro- versy is so broken, and the several parts so intermingled, that there is not, and cannot be, a body of ore extending for any considerable distance through any part of it. They have many witnesses to testify to that condition of the ground. They concede that in the ground in Icontroversy there are detached fragments,, particles, and perhaps masses of ore intermingled with the country rock in the like fragments, particles, and masses; but they deny that there is anything like a continuons body or sheet of ore extending from one daim to the other. And this is the question in issue. It is pretty nearly a direct issue between the witnesses for the plaintiff and the witnesses for the defendants, and, as you give credit to one party or the other, you should find the fact. . I don't think that I can in any manner make it clearer to you. I have to say, also, that the burden of proof is upon the plaintiff by a preponderance of testimony to establish the facts which are necessary to support a finding in its favor; and the fact mainly in issue, as I have stated to you, is : What is the condition of this ground extending from one of these daims into the other? A good deal has been said by the witnesses as to whether there is a top or apex of the vein. That depends, gentlemen, very much as to whether there is any vein or Iode there. If you find that there is a vein or Iode, to my mind the evidence is clear enough that the top of it is in the Lime location; and if there is none there, of course that which does not exist, does not exist in any part — it does not exist by its top nor by its bottom, nor anywhere between the two poirats. 8o that it is, gentlemen, a question of the credibility of witnesses. The testimony is strongh' conflicting— I don't think Ihave ever known a case in which it was more so; and, as I have said, the question is as to which one of these theories you will accept. Now, I ought to say to you, further, that as to this ore body that i have spoken of, whether it is of greater or less exteut-^that is, whether it is very thin or very thick — is immaierial. If it extends, as claimed by the plaintiff, from their claim to and into the othei-, the strength of the vein is not material. Their position. is, as you remember, that it extends all the.way from their claim to"a.nd into the other, sO far as it has been explored, and it is not material whet lier it is stroug or wealv, il it. extends in the manner described by them. :<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ofz363f2hguy4e4epk52v9v14iwjbby Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/320 104 700742 15135565 8176330 2025-06-14T22:35:20Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PEDEEA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (19) 15135565 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>306 FEDERAL REPORTER.

The criticism made upon his statement that there is no attempt in the defendant's machine to combina a shoe-holding mechanism with the polishing tool, so that the two will operate properly together, is unwarranted, because it is obvions that he does not mean any kind of shoe-holding mechanism, but refers to such as travel in a fixed path in relation to the polishing tool, and within certain limits maintainsthe heel adjustably in this relation. Aside from the weight to be accorded to his judgment as author- ity, I agree with his conclusions both as to the construction of the complainant's patents and as to the question of infringement, and am of the opinion that in the defendant's machine the shoe-holding mechanism of the complainant's patent is dispensed with. It may be forcibly urged that a narrower construction of the com- plainant's patents should be adopted than was necessary in the case before Judge Shepley, or is necessary in this case. There is much to indicate that in the Ingalls & Budding patents the shoe-holding mechanism is designed to hold the shoe rigidly, although the mechan- ism itself is to be adjustable in its relations with the polishing tool by the manipulation of the operator, and is especially contrived with this view. Plainly, the object of the second Budding patent was to remove the practical difficulty resulting from this feature of the mechanism, and he devised a mechanism which could be more freely manipulated by the operator, thus allowing the shoe to be more freely turned and guided. But it does not appear to have been conceived by Budding that the true way to obviate the difaculty was by dis- pensing with all deviees for rigidly holding the shoe during the polish- ing operation, and substituting such as would enable the operator to guide and control the shoe by holding it in his hands. If the correct construction of complainant's patents requires that one element of their combination shall consist of a holding mechanism, in which the shoe is rigidly h'eld by the mechanism, the defendant, by dispensing<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 6nrx3w9fy05dncn8aoc99qeo5evfxwo Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/348 104 700771 15135567 8176359 2025-06-14T22:35:22Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (7) 15135567 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>S3e FEDERJIL BKPORTER. giving credit to her under those circumstances which, by the mari- time law, create a lien. It is a singular circumstance that, in the case of The Globe, Judge Nelson apparently makes this very consider- ation a reason for giving priority to the material man making the first attachment, although it would not seem to be a reason for adopt- ing such a rule of procedure. Thus he says : "It has been argued that this maiitime lien for supplies and material fur- nished at a foreign port is an abiding claim and adheres to the vessel, and may be enforced over all claims of a like nature subsequently accruing in the course of her employaient., I cannot assent to this position.. On the con- trary, I am satisfled that the true rule upon the subject is that, in respect to maritime liens of this description, the party first instituting legal proceed- ings, for the pupose of enforeing his claim against the vessel, is entitled to satisfaction out of the proceeds of her sale. Upon any other view the vessel would afford no reasonable security to the merchant in making the advances or furnishing the necessary supplies, as, for aught he could know, the exist- ing claims against her might exceed her value. It is apparent that ,to give this maritime lien the efficacy claimed would greatly embarrass and obstruct the commerce and navigation of the country. It would deprive the master in distant ports of the means bf meetingthe exigencies of the service, because the vessel would furnish no adequate security for the necessary supplies or repairs." The learned judge then cites with approval Judge Betts' definition of a maritime lien, as an additional grOund for giving the preference to the first attachment. I think* therpfore, it must be conceded that at least one of the grounds upon which Judge Nelson approved this rule of priority in the case of material men has no application what- everto cases of successive claims founded in tort; as, for instance, claims for damages by collision or negligence. In these cases the .creditors acquiring a lien are such ininvitum. There is no credit given to the vessel. There is no consideration of the necessities of com- merce requiring the security of the whole value of the vessel as a pledge for a henefit canferred upon the faith of it, to influence the deter- mination of the question of priority. As to the other ground on which this rule of priority is based, — the nature of a maritime lien,— in fact the sole ground on which the case of The Triumph appears to proceed, it must also be conceded that later cases of the highest au- thority in this country and in England have held "the meaning and efficacy of a maritime lien" to be something. very different from a "privilege to arrest the vessel for the debt which, of itself, constitutes no, encumbranee on the vessel, and beconxes such only by virtue of an actual attachment" as it is defiued in the case of TIic Triumph.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> oxi06g0gip9gqdaaepjfugfvcgo616t Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/358 104 700781 15135568 8176370 2025-06-14T22:35:23Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTKB → PORTER, removed: � (5) 15135568 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>344 FEDERAL REPORTER. narrow channel, and being thereby strained and hogged, is to be attributed to the fact that she was not equipped with an anchor, and to the negligence of her owners in not sooner getting her ont of the dangerous place in which she was lying, or in not finding for her in Guilford creek a safer place to lie in ; and that this subsequent dam- age ia not properly attributable to the casting of her adrift on the sound, even if the tug is responsible for the damages direetly arising from so leaving her adrift. No doubt it was incumbent on the mas- ter of the oanal-boat.who was also one of the owners, to take all reasonable measures for the prompt rescue of his boat from the per- lions position in which she had been put. But, without going at length into the evidence, it is enpugh to dispose of this point to say that upon the proofs he acted with diligence and roasonably good judgment in his endeavors to rescue her, but before he could succeed in doing so a severe southerly storm came on, whioh drove the sea into Guilford creek, caused her to drag her anchor, and was the means of her getting across the channel, so that when the tide fell she was badly injured, her center sinking down some three feet as she lay across the channel, with her bow on one bank and her stem on the other. Upon his discovering her in Guilford creek, her master returned to New Haven and endeavored to get the aid of a small tug which should be able to enter Guilford creek and tow her out. It is evident that the Fowler could not do this. She drew too much water to enter the creek. And it is evident, also, from the testimony of the master of the canal-boat himself, that he knew this, and did not ex- pect or ask the captain of the tug to render this service, and that all the further aid he looked for, if any, from the Fowler was to tow her to New York after he had succeeded in getting her out of Guilford creek and had brought her to New Haven, which he gave the captain of the tug to understand that he was going to do. Nor does the evi- dence sustain the contention of the claimants that there was any safer place for the canal-boat to lie in, in or near Guilford creek, than that in which the salvors put her and where her master found her. As to the want of an anchor, assuming that a canal-boat upon a ■Voyage from New London to New York is hnseaworthy if she bas no anchor, which is the contention of the claimants, — although there is a very considerable weight of evidence in the case that a custom or usage has grown up for the tug to carry ground-tackle enough to hold herself and the tow in case it becomes necessary to anchor, and for this class of coal-boats navigating the sound to go without an-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> rdt2v4eb7w2ynhn26k0gby83t0jucuu Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/380 104 700803 15135570 8176393 2025-06-14T22:35:25Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: j' → y , PBD → FED, TEB. → TER., REPOETER → REPORTER, DEEAL → DERAL, removed: � (14) 15135570 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>366 FEDERAL REPORTER. Tracey was without fault. There must be a decree for the libellant, with costs, and it is referred to a master, to be appointed by the court, (unless the parties agree upon the person,) to take proofs as to the libellant's damages, and report, with his opinion thereon, to the court. As to the steam-boat Connecticut, as to which the libel was dis- missed upon the hearing of the cause, I think she was censurable, though not legally in fault, and is not entitled to costs. Upon the trial of the qause a motion was made, upon the petition of one of the owners of the Sears, to limit the liability of the owners, which, by understanding between counsel for the parties, was to be consideredin connection with the proofs taken upon the trial of the cause, and decided if the main question should be found against the Sears. It appears from the proofs, and there are no allegations in thepetition inconsistent with the faot, that the Sears was employed in river navigation upon the Hudson river, and not elsewhere. The provisions of the statutes for limiting the liability of the owners of vesssels do not appy to the owners of any vessel used in rivers or inland navigation. Eev. St. § 4289. It was held by Judge Drum- mond (The War Eagle, 6 Biss. 364) that a vessel employed on the upper Mississippi was within the excepted class; and, while much might be said in favor of the position that section 4289 refers only to such rivers as are inland, as distinguished from public navigable waters, that decision must be recognized as controlling here, both because its reasoning is satisfactory and as an authority it is entitled to high respect. • ' The prayer of the petition must be denied.

It appears from the record that the interest included in the $4,814.03 was computed only up to March 5, 1879, and that in the $192.63 costs is included $116.09 interest from March 5, 1879, which appears to have been the day of the trial. There is in the record a bill of exceptions, but there does not appear <o be any assignment of errors in the district court or in this court. The bill of exceptions discloses exceptions by the defend- ant to decisions of the court at the trial overruling objections taken by the defendant to the admission of evidence offered by the plain- tiff, and exceptions by the defendant to refusais of the court, after the evidence on both sides was closed, to rule and decide in accordance with propositions made to the court by the defendant, and exceptions by the defendant to rulings and decisions by the court after the evi- dence on both sides was closed, and exceptions by the defendant to certain of the said andings of fact made by the court, and exceptions by the defendant to all of the said conclusions of law f ound by the court. The plaintiff in error seeks to raise on the writ of error, by the bill of exceptions, questions as to the sufficiency of the proceedings to bind the town, as to the validity of the bonds, as to the power of the bank to purchase the coupons sued on, as to the operation and effect of a written agreement under which the bonds passed from the town commissioners, as to the portion of the bank a? a bonafide holder of the coupons, as to the status of the town as having returned the stock taken in exchange for the bonds, and generally as to the liability of the town on the bonds and coupons. None of these questions are so presented as to be the subject of consideration and revision by this court on the bill of exceptions, and the judgment below must, for the reasons herein often stated, be affirmed, without considering any of the above questions, except so far as they are raised by the demur- rer hereafter mentioned. It is provided, by section 566 of the Revised Statutes, that — "The trial of issues of fact in the district courts in all causes, except cases in equity, and cases of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction, and except as other- wise provided in proceeding in bankruptcy, shall he by jury." There is no statutory provision in respect to district courts for the waiver of a trial by jury.

Testator's widow died February 14, 1872, leaving three children surviving. If the court should be of opinion that the testator's estate was liable to legacy tax, then verdict for plaintiff for $1,314.85. If the court should be of opinion that the estate was liable also for the penalty for non-payment, then verdict for plaintiff for $1,794.78. If the court should be of opinion that the estate was not liable to the tax, then verdict for defendant. John K. Valentine, U. S. Dist. Att'y, for plaintiff. O. Heide Norris, for defendant. Btjtlee, D. J. Judgment must be entered on the special verdict for the defendant. The testator having died in 1867, the daim of the govemment rests on the act of 1864, as modified in 1866. As the beneficiaries under the will, whose interests are sought to be taxed, did not become entitled to the possession or enjoyment of the property until the death of Maria Mercer, in February, 1872, and the statute imposing the tax was repealed in 1870, no liability to the government accrued. This case is identical with U. S. v. Hazard, decided at this term, and what is there said need not be repeated here.

On March 17, 1807, M. entered 100 acres of land in the Virginia military dis- trict in Ohio, under a Virginia military warrant, which was surveyed, and, on November 28, 1823, and April 6, 1824, the entry and survey were recorded in the surveyor's office of the district. In July, 1877, the entry and survey were re- turned to the land-office and a patent issued thereon to M. 's heirs. In 1842 these lands, standing in the name of M. , became delinquent for taxes and were gold to A., to whom a tax deed was executed and through whom the complain- ant claims title. His predecessors in title entered into actual possession in 1849, slnce which time their and his possession has been under oolbr of title, adverse, notorious, and uninterrupted. It seeins (1) that the entry and survey not having been returned to the land- dffice iihtil after ianuary 1, 1852, that they'were vacated and annulled ; (2) that the patent to M. 's heirs was issued without authority of law, and is void; (3) ,that the legal title. is still vested \tx the United States ; (4) that the tax title, being dependent upon the entry and survey of 31. , f ails with them, and that the com- '' plainant has only a naked legal possession.

In the fall of 1849 the grantees entered into actual possession o£ the tract, enclosed it, cleared it in part, built a dwelling upon it, cultivatea, and other- wise improved it. This possession has ever since been kept up by their suc- cessors in the title, the present complainant deriving title by several mesne conveyances f rom them. Since the fall of 1849 the possession of the com- plainant has been, with that of his predecessors, under color of title, adverse, open, notorious, and oniiiterrupted. Prior to that time the tract was in forest and not redncedto any actual occupancy. On November 20, 1879, the defendants in this suit commenced in this court their action at law against the complainant to recover possession of the land in contre versy. The object and prayer of the bill in this suit is that the patent be cancelled, and perpetually to enjoin the prosecution by the defendants of their action at law; that they be required to release and convey all elaira to the land to the complainant, and to establish and quiet the title and possession of the com- plainant. The claim of the complainant is that he is in possession of the land, with a complete and perfect equitable title as against the defendants, which hebas a^ right to haye established and quieted by the process of this court. This claim is based on three grounds: (1) That the patent of January 25, 1878, is void, there being at that time no law in force authorizing its issue, and that consequently the naked legal title is outstandihg in the United States ; (2) that the tax title under which the complainant, and those through and from whom he derived title, claim, if not shown by the proof to be suflEicient and valid, will, after long-continued ad- verse possession, under such circumstances as are shown in proof, be presumed to be good ; (3) that a similar presumption will arise that the original equity of Robert Marshall, under his entry and survey, to a patent, was transferred and conveyed to the complainant, or those under and through whom he derives title. It is obvious that this bill cannot be supported as a bill qxda timet, as . known to the equity jurisprudence of chancery courts. In describing the grounds of that jurisdiction, the supreme court of the United States, in the case of Phelps v. Harris, 101 U. S. 376, say: " The questions, what constitutes such a cloud upon the title, and what character of title the complainant himself must have in order to authorize a court of equity to assume jurisdiction of the case, are to be decided upon prin- ciples which have long been established in those courts. Prominent among these are — Fi7-st, that the title or right of the complainant must be clear; and, seoondly, that the pretended title or right, which is alleged to be a cloud upon it, must not only be clearly invalid or inequitable, but must be such as may, either at the present or at a future time, embarrass the real o vvner in controvert- ing it. For it is held that when the complainant himself has no title, or a doubtful title, he cannot have this relief." "ihoseonly," said Mr. Justice Grier, "who have a clear, legal, and equitable title toland, conneeted with pos- session, have any right to claim the interference of a court of equity to give them peace, or dissipate a cloud in their title."

In V. S. V. Stone, 2 Wall. 535, Mr. Justice Grier said : " Patents are sometimes issued unadvisedly or by inistake, when the officer has no authority in law to grant them, or when another party has a higher equity and should have received the patent. In such cases, courts of law will pronounce them void. The patent is but evidence of a grant, and the offleer who issues it acts ministerially and not judicially. ii he issues a patent for land reserved from sale by law, such patent is void for want of authority." On the other hand, if the, patent is valid at law, but voidable in equity, it naust be by reasori of some superior equity on the part of the eomplainant that entitles him to charge it with a trust in his favor, or to restrain the defendant froin an inequitable use of it, to his injury; but the complainant asserts none such now in this prooeed- ing, and insists on treafiiig it as utterly without any legal force what- ever. If the complainant should admit that the effect of the patent was to put the legal title in the defendant, and allege equitable grounds whereby it would enure to his benefit, or grounds on which it should be cancelled as having been obtained in fraud of his equi- table rights, there would be place for the exercise of equitable juris- diction; but the controversy aa he makes it, on the bill and proof, is a contest between adverse claimsof . a purely legal nature. Such a controversy is only to be settled in a court of lawj according to the principles and methods and under the guaranties of the common law. It follows that the bill must be dismissed; butj of course, without prejudice to the rights of either capable of being enforced in the pending action at law, and also without prejudice to the complain- ant's right to file a bill in equity hereafter, in the event it should be decided in the action at law that the defendant's patent is valid to pass to him the legal title, to charge him as trustee, and eompel a conveyanoe on any equitable ground the complainant may be able to establish.

If adjudged in contempt, the punish- ment or penalty must have been personal, and so also are the ex- penses of this reference in the endeavor on his part to justify his refusai. For this reason the taxation of the bill, as against the firm, must be overruled.

And that, as be^ore in practice, United States patents were granted for 14 years, and patents for inventions previously patented abroad to the same inventer were before limited to 14 years from the .date or publication "of the foreign patent," so now, under the new Sys- tem introduced by the act of 1861, such a patent (still to be granted, otherwise, in accordanee with the provisions of the act of 1836 and 1839) was to remain in force 'for 17 years from "the date or publi- cation" of the foreign patent, while the United States patents were to remain in force for 17 years, instead of 14 years, froru their "date of issue;" the privilege of having them "take date" from a date not exceeding six months prior to the actual issue, as the "date of issue," under section 8 of the act of 1836, being still preserved, and sufth patents expiringl7 years from such "date of issue," and not 17 years from the actual issuihg. There is nothing in these views that is inconsistent with or does violence to the language of section 16 of the act of . 1861, and they are in harmony with the course of . legislation. Contrary views would determine that there ' Was, by section 16 of the act of 1861, a sudden, unexpressed, and only implied change of the poliey of section 6 of the act of 1839, then in force for 22 years; such policy making the terms of patents, like those in the present case, take date from the date or publication of the foreign patent, and rtm from that time for the same time other United States patents ran, from their time of beginning to run. And such contrary views would establish an enlargement of term, by the act of 1861, in favor of an invention previously patented abroad; such enlargement remaining in force till 1870, and then curtailed in 1870 so as to be more narrow than under the act of 1839, and to make the United States patent expire at the same time with the foreign patent having the shortest term. No argument can be drawn in favor of the plaintiffs' view, from the fact that, in section 16 of the act of 1861, the expression is, "all patents hereaf ter granted." Literally, such expression eovers future patents granted as re-issues. By section 13 of the act of 1836, (5 St. at Large, 122,) which continued in force after the act of 1861 went into force, a re-isaue is authorized, and the re-issued patent is therfe called "a new patent," and is authorized to be issued only for the residue of the period then unexpired, for which the original patent was granted. Yet it never was or could be supposed that under sec- tion 16 of the act of 1861 a re-issued patent was to be granted for 1 1<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> k3qeg14esye0sxlej4vivimcolsc3qe Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/468 104 700894 15135580 8176486 2025-06-14T22:35:35Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: witli → with, iu the → in the , AIi → AL , POBT → PORT, KEPORT → REPORT, REPORTEE → REPORTER, removed: � (8) 15135580 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>;454 FEDECAL REPORTER. •pay any balanise fcheu unpaid to said John Bail & Go. within 30 daya thereafter; and on fullpayment of oaid consideration the patents aforesaid and herein m^jitioned are to be aasigned by said John Bail & Go. to said Albert Bail, his heirs or assigne." On the fifteenth of Pebruary, 1878, John Bail & Go. assigned all their interest and cla,im in said pia,tent8, and in the aforesaid agree- ment.between Albert Bail and. the defendant, to George Cook and Jacob Miller, On the nineteenth of Noyember, 1878, Cook and Miller served a written notice upon the defendant, in vrhich, after reciting that he had failed to comply with the "conditions of said, license"to manu- facture plows under -said ■ patent, "in not paying the royalties as provided by said license, there .being now due and unpaid to us a large suna as royalty. on said license, in which sum or amount you are now in defatijilt, and having also broken and failed to comply with other tern;is of 8a,id license," they notified the defendant that they terminated; and. annulled hjia license. They subsequently , filed the bill in this case, in which they pray that the defendant's license may be decreed to be iorfeited, that he may be enjoined , from man- ufacturing plows under said patents, and that he may be required to account for and pay the plaintiffs' all royalties for which he may be in arrear, and damages. The notice of November 19, 1878, assumed, and the bill assumes, that the agreement between Albert Bail and the defendantf contains conditions for the breach of which by the defendant his license to manufacture is revocable ; but the agreement contains nothing of the kind. There is no provision therein for re vocation or forfeiture, and therefore there is no foundation for a decree annulling the license, (McKnight v. Krentz, 51 Pa. St. 232;) certainly none under the evi- dence. But, were it otherwise, such decree would not bc. made upon this bill, for Albert Bail, whose rights are involved, is not a party to the suit. Gloninger v. Hazard, 42 Pa. St. 389. That he bas an, in- terest in the question of annulling the defendant's license is mani- fest. His assignments of the patents, and of the royalties payable by the defendant, are not absolute, but rnerely as collateral sepurity for a debt due by him to John Bail & Go., and they are expressly iim- ited in their operation to the term of four years.

A railroad corporation which extended into two states, and was original!}' chartered in each state, and subsequently Consolidated by law in both states, does not thereby lose its separate citizenship in each state, so as to preclude it from maintaining an action in the federal court againat another corpora- tion, created and existing solely under the laws oi one of the two states, where the declaration shows that the plaintifl sejts out its corporate existence as de- rived from the othbr of- said t#6'rtale^.

The question as to the competenoy of Eice's testimony being an important one, I desire to add some obser- vations to those, made by my associate. Eice is a party to the suit, and also to the transaction in issue alleged to have been had between him and Norton in the life-time of the latter, under whom the opposite parties claim title. For the purposes of the decision I shall assume, VKIthout deciding the point, that the opposite parties to Eice, being suc- cessors in interest to Norton, who is deceased, are "representatives of, a deceased person," within the meaning of the statute of Nevada, a^amendedinl879. St.Nev.1879,49. The question, then, is -whether the sta tutes of the United States have an express, direct provision upon which the competency of Eice depends, or whether the case f ails within those provisions of the United States statutes which make the compe- tency depend upon the statute of Nevada upon the subject. The testi- mony was incompetent at common law, because Eice is a party to the suit, and interested in the controversy. If his testimony is competent, then it is because some statute of the United States makes it so directly by some express provision applicable to the case, or indirectly by making the competency depend upon some statute of Nevada ren- dering it competent. If the competency is referred to the statute of Nevada, and governed by that, then, upon the assumption stated, the testimony is inadmissible under the section referred to — the opposite party being the "representative of a deceased person." Section 858 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, applicable to the case, reads as follows : "In the courts of the IJnited States no witness shall be excluded in any action on account of color, or in any civil action because he is a party to or interested in the issue tried, provided that in actions by or against executors, administrators, or guardians, in which judgnient may be rendered for or against them, neither party shall be allowed to testify against the other as to any transaction with or statement by the testator, intestate, or ward, unless called to testify thereto by the opposite party, or required to testify tiiereto by the court. In all other respects, the laws of the state in which the court is<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> nkjhsoodekwzk28z54w8oy3o66nllti Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/498 104 700926 15135583 8176519 2025-06-14T22:35:38Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FKDE → FEDE, EDEBAL → EDERAL , TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (10) 15135583 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>484 FEDERAL BKPORTER. courts of the United States there shall he no exclusion o{ any witness * * * in civil actions because he is a party to or interested in the issue tried." Under the statute as it thus stood, the laws of Nevada, excluding a party where the opposite party is the representative of a deceased person, is not adopted, and such party is a competent witness under the direct provision of the aotof congress. The next act of congress was that of 1865, which provides^ — " That in actions by or against executors, administrators, or guardians, in whleh judgment may be rendered for or against them, neither party shall be allowed to testify againt the other as to any transaction with or statement by tha testator, intestate, or ward, unless called to testify thereto by the oppo- site party, or required to testify thereto by the court." This was but a limitation put upon the sweeping provision of the act of 1864, last cited, -which admitted parties under all cireumstances to testify, and the limitation only embraces the case of "executors, administrators, or guardians." It does not reach "the representatives of a deceased person." Hence, as to such party the statute as it before stood remains un- changed, so that, on adding this further proviso to the statute as it before stood, Eice is still a competent witness. Thus the statute stood at the date of the revision, when all these three statutes were carried into section 858 of the Revised Statutes. Instead of placing the first act adopting the state law first in the section it was placed last, next f ollowing the proviso, but without any intention of changing the meaning, so that the principal clause in section 858 of the Ee- vised Statutes, and its proviso, is merely a limitation upon the act of congress first passed, as stated, adopting the laws as to competency of witnesses, expressed in a little different form in the last clause of said section. Under this direct provision of the United States stat- utes, therefore, the testimony of Eice is admissible. From the fore- going it will be seen that the general rule in civil actions now, as before the revision, is that the laws of the state as to the competency of witnesses govern, except that the state laws excluding witnesses on account of color, and laws affecting the competency of parties in interest to the issue to be tried, are inapplicable. The competency of such witnesses depends wholly upon the direct provisions of the United States statutes. Upon the facts and other points discussed, and on the decree ordered, I also concur with the district judge.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 775i5i8l2twfh205t9lp4rmszmzw4en Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/500 104 700928 15135585 8176524 2025-06-14T22:35:40Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EDERAIi → EDERAL , PEDE → FEDE, EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (9) 15135585 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>486 FEDERAL REPORTER. contumaey and default, and thereupon the libel shall be adjudged to be taken pro confessa against Mm, and the court shall proceed to hear the cause ex parte, and adjudge thereon as to law and justice shall appertain." This was the course taken by the court in this case, and upon such hearing the libel was dismissed. Conceding that the averments of the libel make a case for a decree of forfeiture, the "proofs" may, for all that appears, have negatived thofee averments. If so, both law and justice should require that the libel be dismissed. AU presump- tions are in favor of the decree of the court. It is, therefore, impos- sible for this court tosay that the district court, erred, unless we have the evidence on which that court based its decree. The record does not disclose that evidence. But does the libel suggest such a case as would justify a forfeiture ? By section 16 of the act approved June 22, 1874, (18 St. 189,) it is provided that — " In all actions, suits, and proceedings in any court of the United States now pending, or hereafter commenced or prosecuted, to enforce or declare the for- feiture of any goods, wares, or merchandise * * * by reason of any vio- lation of the provisions of the customs revenue laws, or any of such provisions in which said action or proceedlng an issue or issues of fact shall have been joined; it shall be the duty of the court, on the trial thereof, to submit to the jury, as a distinct and separate proposition, whether the alleged acts were done with an actual intention to defraud the United States, and to require, upon such proposition, a special finding by such jury; or, if such issue be tried by the court without a jury, it shall be the duty of the court to pass upon and decide such proposition as a distinct and separate finding of fact ; and in such cases, unless intent to defraud be so found, no fine, penalty, or forfeiture shall be imposed." I think it perfectly clear that this section makes intent to defraud the United States a necessary condition to the forfeiture of any goods, etc., for the violation of the customs revenue laws. A libel of information, therefore, which undertakes to state a case for the for- feiture of goods, .should aver an intent to defraud the United States. Without such averment no case for forfeiture is made. The claim- ant might well decline to answer a libel in which such averment was wanting, trusting to the court to dismiss the libel, for want of neces- sary averments, when it came to hear the case ex parte, and to adjudge thereon "as to law and justice should appertain." The idea that a libel would be good when there was dcfault for want of an answer which would be bad, if an answer were filed and issue joined, is certainly untenable.

Lair Hill, George H. Durham, and H. Y. Thompson, to secure the payment tothemof his note for $10,000, given as a fee for defending the action aforesaid against him. On December 18, 1878, Griswold mortgaged said lot 8, in block 10, to Ladd & Bush, to secare the pay- ment to them of a debt of $306.25, with interest thereon. On January 6, 1879, Griswold voluntarily appeared and confessed judgments in the county court of Marion county in favor of Ladd <fe Bush for $348.82, and the defendants A. Kelly, Thomas A. Mauzy, W. G. Woodworth, William H. Watkinds, Benjamin Hay- den, William H. Holmes, and James W. Nesmith for the aggregate sum of $3,223.13. On January 7, 1879, Hill, Durham, and Thomp- son commenoed a suit in the circuit court for the county of Marion to foreclose their mortgage, and made the defendant Gris- wold and L. & B., and the other persons to whom judgments were confessed as aforesaid, defendants ; in which, on February 11, 1879, there was a decree given that L. & B. recover of the defendant Griswold the sum of $3,816.16, and H., D., and T. the suni of $9,365.42, the balance due on Griswold's note, and that the premises described in the mortgages be sold toisatisfy the same and costs; in pursuance of which they were sold by the sheriff to the defendant Hill, on March 22, 1879, for the sum of $13,500. On February 22, 1879, said lot 8 was sold to the defendant Burnett for the sum of $368, upon an execution issued out of said county court upon the judgment therein, aforesaid, in favor of L. & B. ; and afterwards said L. & B. foreclosed their mortgage upon, said lot 8, making the defendants Griswold and Burnett parties defendant to the suit therefor, and, uponprocess issued upon the decree therein given for said L. & B. for $374.37, said lot 8 'and the west half of said lots 1, 2, 3, and 4, in block 73, were sold to said Bush for $388.94. During the years 1878-9 Griswold purchased varions "Oregon In- dian war claims, and other government debts and claims, and to cbn- ceal them from the plaintiff" took the assignments thereof to his nephew, the defendant Edward Chamberlain, and the defendant J. H. Alberts, for which the latter, on November 29, 1879, gave his note to said Griswold for $1,677.

But apart from this, -when Gri3wold confessed the judgments to Kelly and othera for f 3,571.95i he was doubtloss insolvent, and intended thereby to prevent the United States from eollecting the claim for which it had just obtained a verdict. His whole property, so far as appears, even if unencumbered, was not sufficient to paj*^ this one debt. Nor is it material, in this connection, whether sueh insolvency was known or believed by third persons or not. The fact that the United States had a valid claim against Griswold for $35.228 since January 29, 1874, bas been eonclusi'sfely established by the judgment of the district court. But, as all claim under these judgments has been formally aban- doned by the creditors therein, except that of L. & B., it is only necessary to consider the effect of this conclusion as to the latter. These judgments being in effect a voluntary assignment by an insolv- ent debtor, the, right of the United States to a priority of payment out of all his property, subject to all valid liens and encumbrances thereon, attached at once. Under the law of the state a judgment, when doeketed, is a lien upon the debtor 's property, similar to that of a mortgage, and is in effect a convenient method of transferring such property to the judg- ment creditors. Catlin v. Hoffman, 2 Sawy. 491. The sale, therefore, of lot 8, in block 10, and the west half of lots 1, 2, 3, and 4, in block 73, by L. & B., upon their execution to en- force said judgment and the one to enforce the personal deeree in the suit to foreclose the mortgage of December 18, 1878, on said lot 8, was made subject to the prior right of the United States, and, so far as it interferes with the assertion of such right, must be set aside and the property resold upon the execution of the plaintiff, uniess L. & B. aocount to the plaintiff for the value thereof, whioh the evidence tends to show is about 1 1,600, together with the rents and profits thereof, less the amount of their mortgage for $306.25, with interest. As to the mortgage of L. & B. on block 18, dated June 4, 1877, these additional facts appear: Griswold was then insolvent, the debt which he owed the United States being greater in amount than the value of all the property elaimed by him or in his name, but the defendants, although aware of the fact that the plaintiff had com- menced the action against him to recover this debt, were not other- wise informed on the subject. It appears that on or about June 4, 1877, Griswold presented a note and mortgage upon block 18 for $10,000, payable, with interest at 1 per centum per month, in seven months, at the bank of L. & B. in Salem, and asked for a loan of<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ra9yp486jkg0ic8jd22oohvwq3yrmym Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/522 104 700950 15135588 12096820 2025-06-14T22:35:43Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDK → FEDE, EDEBAL → EDERAL , DERAL BE → DERAL RE, OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (8) 15135588 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>508 FEDERAL REFORTER. it is to sell or offer for sale manufactured tobacco," (Kev. St. § 3244,) is a point open to considerable doubt. At first I was strongly iuclined to the opinion that it was not. Such appears to have beea the rul- ing of the internai revenue departaient, judging from a letter of the commissioner to the collector at Savannah. 24 Int. Eev. fiecord, 113. In conetruing doubtfal cases of this kind the possible consequences to the government and to individuals oughfc to be borne in miud. The law being one for the raising of revenue, it ought to be construed liberally in favor of the government ; and dealers who carry ou the business and pay the proper special tax, ought to be protected, as far as possible, from the competition of those who, paying no tax, en- croach upon their trade. While it qiay be a very con veulent arrange- ment for the employers of labor, whether farmers, lumbermen, or manufacturers, to supply their hands with liquor and tobacco in lieu of money, and charge the cost of the same upon their pay-rolls, it will readily be seen that if this power be given to farmers aud lum- bermen employing a number of laborers, the same prineiple would apply to railway and manufacturing corporations, employing hun- dreds and even thousands, and the business of licensed dealers, who would otherwise supply tobacco to these men, be seriously injured, Upon the whole, I am disposed to hold that men who habitually deal out to their employes manufactured tobacco, even for their own accommodation, and at cost price, are subject to the special tax; and that upon the state of facts presented by this record the defendant might properly be convicted. I understand a similar ruling to have been made by Judge Brooks, of the eastern district of North Carolina ; and I am also authorized to say that the circuit judge concurs in this opinion.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> bl16jbq2r80wtimz171ejlv65vagjsr Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/536 104 700964 15135589 8176563 2025-06-14T22:35:44Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDESAL → FEDERAL, DERAL BE → DERAL RE, POKTER → PORTER, removed: � (6) 15135589 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>622 FEDERAL REPORTER. it as drawn. Section 4921, Eev. St., is referred to as providing for the reeovery of profits only. But the right of recovery for infringe- ment of a patent does not rest upon that section wholly. Before the act of 1870, part of which was brought into that section, was passed, damages for infringements could not be recovered in equity. The ligbt ol recovery rested upon the general provisions of the statutes by virtue of which patents were granted, and the general principles of law upon which relief in equity is afforded. That statute enlarged the jurisdiction of courts of equity by providing that damages, in addition to profits to be accounted for, might be recovered. This did not restriot the right to recover for gains, savings, or advantages recoverable before, when they resulted to the infringer from the in- fringement. Ail questions as to whether the gains, savings, or advantages are such as are due to the infringement, and as the de- fendants are legally accountable for, will arise upon the accounting. These words seem to be proper, although perhaps they are not necessary in such a decree. Costs generally, in proceedings in equity, do not follow as matter of right, as in proceedings at law, but are subject to the discretion of the court, and are to be awarded as a part of the decree or they can- uot be recovered, although they may be, and generally are, taxed af ter the decree. Sizer v. Many, 16 How. 98. The determination as to costs must ordinarily be made upon the hearing in chief. It is then that the merits of the case are gone into. This hearing was in chief, and in its nature final, although the decree is interlocutory. The costs cannot be tased fully, and no execution can properly issue until the final decree ; but still now is the time to determine in regard to them and award or refuse them. They are awarded as usual, unless there are special circiamstances to govern otherwise, to the prevailing party. It is said that with this award and direction a bond and supersedeas will be too late to stay the execution on appeal. But this objection is not well founded. The whole matter must wait until af ter the final decree before any execution can issue, and then an appeal and sm^'^*'*^^^'^* ^^^^^^^^^J taken out will, under the statute and rules, stay the execution.

This rule applies to all bills for relief on the ground of fraud, including, of course, a bill to set aside a judgment or decree upon that ground. Story, Eq. PL 251, 428; Kerr on Fraud and Mistakes, 365. It is also necessary to charge the intent to deceive, either by an «xpress averment or by such words as necessarily imply such in- tent. Moss v.Riddle, 5 Cranch, 351; Gray v. Earl, 13 Iowa, 188. The counsel who draf ted this bill evidently intended to comply with these rules by inserting the allegations embraced in the second quo- tation above, wherein it is set forth in eflfect that the balance due complainant was made to appear either by mistake of all the parties, or by deception practiced upon this railway company, or by collusion with that company. By this allegation the complainants say, in sub- stance, that the wrong was done them in one of these three ways, but as to which one they are unable to say. The insufficiency of such an allegation will be very apparent when it is suggested that mistake is one thing and fraud another, and that the character of the case and nature of the defence would depend very mueh upon the question whether it is a case of mistake or a case of fraud that is set out. No man can be required to answer and prepare for trial upon a bill which leaves him in doubt as to the exact nature of the case against which he is to defend. Hence, the rule that allegations must not be in the alternative. Story, Eq. PI. 245, 245a. In view of these considerations, I am constrained to hold that the bill does not set forth the circumstances of the fraud charged with sufficient certainty and partieularity. 2. The fraud relied upon is charged only upon information and belief. An injunction cannot be granted in the first instance upon an allegation of this character. It is necessary that the fraud should be made to appear by positive averments, founded on complainant 's own knowledge or that of some person cognizant of the facts.

S33 aside a former decree of this court between the same parties and upon the same siibject-matter. It is clear that all questions touch- ing the validity or amount of respondents' claim were open to inves- tigation in the former suit. Issue was joined upon their cross-bill, and testimony was taken and decree was rendered in their favor. It was the right and duty of complainants to investigate the char- acter of the claim, and to set up in that case whatever defence they had. It is not enough to allege that they did not discover the facts in time so to do. The only exception to this rule is in cases where, by some wrong act of the successful party, bis adversary is deprived of the right to fully present bis case. The rule is thus stated by Mr. Justice Miller in U. S. v. Throckmorton, 98 U. S. 65 : "But there is an adtnitted exception to this general rule in cases where, by reason of something done by the successful party to a suit, there was in fact no adversary trial or decision of the issue in the case. Where the unsuc- cessf ul party has been prevented from exhibiting fully his case by fraud or deception practiced on him by his opponents, as by keeping him away from court, a false promise of a compromise; or where the defendant never had knowledge of the suit.being kept in ignorance by the acts of the plaintiff ; or where an attorney fraudulently, or without authority, assumes to represent a party, and connived at his defeat ; or where the attorney, regularly employed, corruptly sells out his client's interest to the other side. These and similar cases, which show that there has never been a real contest in the trial or hear- ing of the case, are reasons for which a new suit may be sustained to set aside and annul the former judgment or decree, and open the case for a new and fair hearing. See Wells* Res Adjudieata, § 499 ; Pearce v. Olney, 20 Conn. 544; Wierick y.DeToya, 7 111. 385; Ketit v. Bicards, 3 Md. Ch. 392; 8mith v. Lowry, 1 John. (IST. Y.) Ch. 320; De Louis v. Meek, 2 Iowa, 55." The rule is clearly settled, at least so far as the federal courts are concerned, that a judgment will not be set aside upon an original bill upon the ground that it was founded upon a fraudulent intendment or perjured evidence, when there were no hindrances besides the negli- gence of the defendant in presenting the defence in the first suit. The case of U. S. v. Throckmorton, supra, is a striking illustration of misrule. The judgment attacked in that case had been oblained, as was alleged, upon a grant which had been executed by the former Mexican governor of California, after he had ceased to hold that office, and falsely and fraudulently antedated. The case was a strong one, but the court said : "There was ample time to make all neces- sary inquiries and produce the necessary proof, if it existed, of the fraud," in the progress of the original suit; and the bill was held bad on demurrer because it was the duty of the complainants to ascer- tain the facts and make their defence in the original suit.

J., in Greene v. Greene, 2 Gray, (Mass.) 361 : " The maxim that fraud vitiates every proceeding must be taken, like all other general maxims, to apply to cases where proof of fraud is admissible. But where the same matter has been actually tried, or so in issue that it might have been tried, it is not again admissible. The party is estopped to set up such fraud, because the judgment is the highest evidence and cannot be con- tradicted." See, also, the following authorities, cited by Mr. Justice Miller in same opinion: Dixon v. Graham, 16 Iowa, 310; Cottle v. Cole, 20 lowa, 482; Borland v. Thorton, 12 Cal. 440; Biddle y. Baker, 13 lowa, 295 ; Railroad Go. v, Neal, 1 Wood, 353.

It may be necessary, in view of possible further proceedings in this case, that we should have your finding upon that specifie fact. But it is insisted by the defendant that even though the company may be guilty of negligence, either by the act of the eonductor in failing to deliver these running orders on the night in question, or that the eonductor was known to be negligent, and their having continued him in service, — in other words, it is insisted that, al- though you may find for the plaintifif upon the question of the defendant's negligence, that yet the plaintiff cannot recover because he was also negligent, and his negligence contributed to the accident. Upon this subject, gentlemen, you have all the faots before you, and it is not expedient, even if it were proper, for me to comment upon the testimony. You will look into the testimony as it has been delivered to you, showing the conduct of the plaintiff on the night of the accident — the manner in which he ran the train. You will considei- the question whether there is any proof tending to show, or sufficient to show, that he knew or had any reason to believe that the gravel, train was on the track over which he was called upon to pass ; whether there is anything to show that he was bound to stop at the station and wait for the gravel train without order, because it is conceded that the orders were not delivered to him by the eonductor. There is another braneh of the case upon which it is earnestly contended by the defendant that the plaintiff has been shown to have been guilty of contributory negligence. It is said that he had notice of the negligence of this eonductor McClintock ; that for some time before this accident he eonfessedly knew that McClintock was a negligent and improper person to hold that position, and that, know- ing that fact, he was negligent in continuing in the service of the company. ^ . The law upon this subject, gentlemen, is that if one employe of a railroad company discovers that a co-employe of his is negligent or unskilful, it is his duty to give notice to the company, but it is not necessary that he should at once quit the service of the company. After having given notice he may continue in the service of the company for a reasonable time, in the expectation that the company will take proper action in the premises and discharge the unworthy and incompetent person. And if, within this reasonable time, after notice has been given, and before the objectionable person has been<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 4dopzpw32zyqhz59c7tmvm1nqxsk49e Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/568 104 700997 15135595 8176597 2025-06-14T22:35:50Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBTER → PORTER, EBPO → REPO, removed: � (6) 15135595 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>554 FEDERAL REPORTER. tickets, which under the statute represent the title, are outstanding. When the holder of the statutory evidence of titlo to grain in a ware- house or elevator "surrenders" it to the warehouseman, and the latter certifies the faot, there is nothing in the statute to give his certificate the force and effect which formerly belonged to the surrendered instrument. Inasmuch as the respondents deposited no grain in the elevator, they could only purchase grain therein as against actual depositors by buying outstanding certificates representing such grain, and taking an assignment thereof. They did not do this. In no instance did they take an assignment of the evidence of title. It follows that their claims must be postponed to those of actual depos- itors vrho present the evidence of title recognized by the statute. 2. A question is made as to whether, upon the facts already stated, the case is one of equitable cognizance. It is insisted that, inasmuch as there is grain enough to satisfy all of complainant's demands, they have severally a right to proceed at law, and there- fore no right to proceed in equity. It is true that when the action of replevin was before this court, it was supposed by the court that all the certificates were equally liens upon the grain in the ele- vator, and that ,none of the claimants -were entitled to payment in full. The question as to the effect of the "surrender certificates" was not then raised, and the court assumed that they were warehouse receipts or certificates, evidencing title, within the meaning of the statute. Although, upon further consideration, it now appears this was a mistaken assumption, it does not follow that the jurisdiction in equity fails. It is still a case for discovery, and an accounting between the parties. Without a discovery and an accounting, the court could not know that the complainants are entitled to payment in full. If one of them had sued alone at law, how could the court or a jury have determined whether he waa entitled to recover the whole amount claimed. To determine that question the presence of other depositors of grain was necessary, or at least proper, and an accounting as between all such depositors, if not the only, was cer- tainly the moet convenient and adequate mode of proceeding. If the remedyin equity is more complete and adequate than that at law, and especially if it prevents a multiplicity of suits, the equitable jurisdic- tion can be maintained even if there is a concurrent remedy at law. 1 Story, Eq. Jur. § 457. Nor would it make any difference if it were admitted that the result of the discovery and accounting is to develop the fact, not before known, that the complainants might<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> bfc2mkmr39mrjc5x8sfzwa54rfbet5t Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/572 104 701001 15135596 8176602 2025-06-14T22:35:51Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: tlia → tha, FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (12) 15135596 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>95 s FEDERAL REPORTER. ti'on from William H. and C. A. Willson, his wife, the donc es of the Salem donation claim, and in 1856 he erected a large brick building on said lot 1, since known as " Griswold's block," in which he did business while he re- mained in Oregon. In 1865 and prier thereto, "W. C. G. was engaged in the hat and cap busi- ness in N"ew York, and in mercantile ventures in Texas and Tennessee, and in 1867 became embarrassed from losses and depression in business. On December 21, 1867, Griswold and wife conveyed the premises to James M. Adams, since dead, a liquor dealer in New York, and. related to the latter in the fourth degree, for the nominal consideration of $22,500, by a deed stafaped with only $11.50 worth of stamps, and reeorded on February 10, 1868. On December 19, 1868, said James M. Adams conveyed the premises to Chester Adams, of Hartford, Connecticut, his uncle, a man of wealth, and a partieular friend of said J. 0. G., for the nominal consideration of $22,000, by a deed stamped with only $11 worth of stamps, and reeorded on February 1, 1869; and on December 30, 1870, the executors and beneftciaries under the will of said Chester Adams, he having died on July 6, 1870, conveyed the premises to said J. 0. G. for the nominal consideration of $10,962.63, by a deed which was not reeorded until February 12, 1878. This latter deed recites that the conveyanee from James M. to Chester Adams of December 19, 1868, though "in form absolute," was in fact "con- ditional," and intended by the parties thereto " as seeurity " for the sum of $9,619.63, with interest thereon from April 1, 1869, " upon the distinct and express agreement and understanding that upon payment of said sum bysaid J. 0. G. the said Ghester Adams was to grant and convey said estate to said J.O.G." On December 31, 1868, Griswold, for the purpose of procuring a settlement or compromise with his creditors, or the principal ones of them, flled his peti- tion in bankruptcy in the district court for theeastern district of ISTew York, and wasduly adjudged a bankrupt thereon, and on November 15, 1869, re- ceived a discharge from his debts, he having in the mean time eiieeted a set- tlement with his principal creditors, to whom he was indebted as indorser, for about 33J cents on the dollar. On May 31, 1865, W. C. G. gave Mr. Chester N. Terry, of Salem, a power of attorney, authorizing him to act as his agent, under which he took charge of this property for about fi ve years, collected the rents, giving the receipts there- for in the name of Cliester Adams after October 1, 1869, paid the taxes, and remitted the reraainder to W. C. G. at New York. During this period, be- tween 1867 and 1870, the latter visited Saleœ to look after the property, and while there told Terry more than once that lie was finanaially involved in New York, and that " he had deeded the property in Salem to James M. Adams, in order to protect it from his creditors in New York, and that as soon as he could arrange his afEairs satisfactorily in New York he would have his Oregon property deeded back to him again." . In; 1870, and 1871, W. C. G. made additions to the building on said lot 1, at a cost exceeding $5,000, which he personally superinteiidod and paid for. After the terinination of Terry's agensy, W. C.

See 2 PMI. Ev. note, supra, pp, 654, 652. In Trotter v. Watson, 6 Humph. 509, as stated in 1 Meigs' Dig. 54y, it was held that "if a party make a deed, and retain the possession of the property inconsiatently with the terms of the deed, his statements in reference to the ownership, or contract, or terms upon which he holds the possession of the property, may be received as part of the res gestce. In such a case the possession of the property is a badge of fraud, which of itself connecta him with the claimant in the suspicion of a confederacy to defeat creditors. His declarations, therefore, in relation to the property, and the character of his possession of it, be- come part of the wrong doing, and as such is evidence." Greenleaf, (vol. 1, § 109,) after stating that there had been some difference of opinion as to the admissibility of such declarations, and that if was well settled "that declarations in disparagement of the title of the declarant are admissible as original evidence," says: •' But no reason is perceived why every declaration accompanying the act of possession, whether in disparagement of the declarant's title, or otherwise qualifying his possession, if made in good faith, should not be received as a part of the res gestœ, leaving its effect to be govemed by other rules of evi- dence." In Williams v. Hart, 10 Eep. 74, the supreme court of Georgia (1880) held the declarations of a debtor, in possession of land after a sale by the sheriff upon an execution against the declarant, to his son, to the effect that the sale was fraudaient as against creditors, ad- missible against the purchaser, citing with approval the rule laid down in 69 Ga. 711, that — "So long as a debtor reraains in possession of property which once belonged to him, and which his crediter is seeking to condemn as fraudulently coiiveyed, the res gestœ of the fraud, if any, may be considered as in progress ; and hia de- clarations, though made after he has parted with the formai paper title, may, by reason of the continuous possession which accompanied them, be given in evidence for the cieditor against the claimant." In Cahoon v. Marshall, 25 Cal. 202, the court, in speaking of the declarations of the vendor after a sale, says : " This species of evidence is, as a general rule, inadmissible, and is never to be received unless it appears that the vendor's declarations were made while in possession of the property, with the knowledge or consent, expressed or implied, of the vendee, in which case his declarations, made while in posses- sion of the property, * * * might be considered as of the res gestœ." The rule deduced from the authorities by Bump (F. C. 569) is un- qualifiedly in f avor of the admissibility of the declarations.

The bankruptcy of Griswold having occurred before the United States became his creditor, and the discharge therein obtained being in full force, the same may be laid ont of view, except as the fact may serve to throw light upon the motive and purpose of the convey- ances to James M. and Chester Adams, and the subsequent conduct of Griswold. And the plaintifif not having become a creditor of Gris- wold until after the execution of these conveyanoes, as well as the final one to Mrs. Griswold, cannot be heard to impeach them on ac- count of the fraudulent intent of the grantor, unless it appears they were also made with the intention to hinder, delay, or defraud subse- quent creditors. Reade v. Livingstone, 3 John. Ch. 501 ; Sexton v. Wheaton, 8 Wheat. 229; 1 Story, Eq. Jur. § 361; Dickv. Hamilton, 1 Deady, 329. The defendants Griswold and wife claim by their answers, substan- tially, that in 1865, the former being quite wealthy and the owner of property in value largely in excess of his then indebtedness, gave the latter, as her own property, bonds, stocks, and securities to the par value of $50,000; that afterwards, and a few months before going into bankruptcy, Griswold borrowed several thousand dollars of his wife to aid him in his financial embarrassments ; that at the same time he sold the premises to said James M. Adams to enable him to pay debts and obtain money to use in his business, for, as he alleges, the following consideration : A debt of about $1,000, due from him- self to J. M. A. ; an agreement to pay a debt of $10,000, due one S. E. Jacobs, since dead; and a debt of $1,000, due some one else whose name is forgotten; and $10,000 or $11,000 in money and bonds, but in what proportion, or what bonds, he does not remember and cannot state. That soon after this said J. M. A. became finan- cially embarrassed and wished to dispose of the premises at the price which it is alleged he paid for them — $22,600 — and sbe, as she al- leges, believing that the property would appreciate in value, applied to Chester Adams, a wealthy friend, to assist her in purchasing the same, which he did, she advancing him "$12,000 or sdmething over" of the remaining bonds given her by her husband, and the balance, $9,619.65 — the portion of the Jacobs debt that J. M.

But this is not all : the evidence is more than convincing that the wife's name has been used in this matter by Griswold from the begin- ning simply as a convenienee and protection against contingencies that are liable to occur in the life of a speculating adventurer, with- out actually letting go his hold upon the premises, and that the pos- session, control, and enjoyment of the same have remained with him, with her knowledge and consent, as eompletely as though the con- veyance from C, A. had been made directly to himself. The unexplained failure to put the deed to the wife on the record for nearly eightyears after it was made, and the fact that it was not made public and recorded until the probable effect of this litigation rendered it convenient to assert that the property was hera; the declarations of Griswold to his confidential agent, Mr. Chester N. Terry, a witness whose long and favorably-known residence in this state the court must take notice of, to the effect that the property waa in fact his own ; that it had been put into the names of the Adamses merely to ward off the claims of his New York creditors, and that he expected to get it into his own hands soon ; the failure on the part of the husband and wife to give a credible or consistent aocount of the transaction, and the many gross and palpable contradictions and absurdities in the ones given by the former, — all point with certainty to the conclusion that the conveyance to the wife was procured by the husband upon a consideration moving from himself, and for his own benefit. The plaintiff also insists that the conveyances to C. A. and J. 0. G. were not legally acknowledged, and therefore are not entitled to record, and that for this reason they are void as against the lien of its judgment, irrespective of the intent or consideration with or upon which they were made. In support of this proposition section 268 of the Civil Code is cited, which provides, in effect, that a convey- ance is void as against the lien of a judgment unless recorded within five days of its execution, as provided between conveyances of the same property in section 26 of the chapter on conveyances. Or. Laws, 518. The conclusion already reached makes it unnecessary to pass upon this question. But, as the conveyance to J. M. A. is legal in form and duly acknowledged and recorded, and therefore passed the legal title from W. C.

The subscriptions were not to be lield binding unless the requisite sum was pledged to secure the bequest of Mr. Knox for the school; that a corporation had been duly created under the law, which was willing to accept and had accepted this bequest made to the agricultural school. This corporation bas been made a party by supplemental bill. The controversy, therefore, turns uponthe fact, whether there was a subscription made by respon- sible citizens of Knoxville and Knox county, to the amount of $40,000, for the same objeot and purpose which the testator had in view, namely, for the founding and building up of an agricultural school near Knoxville, within. the terms of the will. I will state my opinion on some of the points made by counsel : lu order to give a proper construction to the second codicil of the will we must take into consideration the object of the testator. He intended to aid in the founding and building of an agricultural school near Knoxville ; but in order to aceomplish this he seemed to think that something more was necessary than that which he con- tributed himself. He obviously deaired that the means of others, and those residing in the vicinity where the school was to be located, should be added to his own, as well as their influence in favor of the institution; for he says that withont their moral and material aid he fears that what he can do or wish would be fruitless. But he cer- tainly did not contemplate the payment of the whole sum of $40,000, which he required from citizens of Knoxville and Knox county, within six months after his decease, otherwise he would have so etated. He only declared that amount should be pledged and subscribed by re- sponsible citizens of Knoxville and Knox county; and he certainly was fully aware of the condition, or what might be the condition, of his own estate at the time of his death ; that it consisted, as is stated by the trustees in their answer, and as the fact appears, largely in real estate, scattered in different localities, and even in different states ; that it would require possibly some years for his executors to realize on this property in such a way as to enable them to pay as well the otherbequests which he had made as the particular one to the agricultural school near Knoxville, and therefoi-e he did not deem it necessary that the money should be paid within the six months, but only pledged and subscribed by responsible citizens of the neigh-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ho3spllj7y0f9k7si7bg0gv6y1t4bm7 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/602 104 701031 15135602 8176637 2025-06-14T22:35:57Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BKAL → ERAL, removed: � (20) 15135602 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>588 FEDERAL REFORTER.

This is a bill in equity, founded upon the alleged infringement by the defendants of lettejrs patent granted May 16, 1865, to Charles B. Bristol and others, assignees of said Bristol, for an improved snap-hook. The patent is owned by the plaintiffs. Bristors invention [quoting from the testimony of Mr. Earle, the plaintiffs' expert] " is an improvement in that class of snap-hooks in which the tongue is pivoted in a recess between two cheeks in the shank. In this recess a coil- spring is arranged around the pivot so that the two ends of the spring bear, one upon the tongue and the other upon the body of the hook, tending to press the tongue up against the end of the hook, but yet permit the tongue to be depressed to open the hook. In this class of hooks, prier to Bristol, the tongue was cast with a recess upon its under side to form two cheeks eorresponding to the cheeks in the shank of the hook. The cheeks on the tongue were drilled eorresponding to the hole through the cheeks in the shank, so that a rivet could be inserted through the sides of the shank and both sides of the tongue, to foim the pivot on which the tongue would turn. The coil of the spring was arranged around the pivot, the two ends bearing, one upon the shank and one upon the hook, as before described."<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> bzp7qoyac97yky6jwjf6lcqukk8tlrs Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/604 104 701033 15135603 8176639 2025-06-14T22:35:58Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: wlie → whe, PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (9) 15135603 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>590 FEDERAL REPORTER. give the owner of the patent his actual invention, if such favorable construction can fairly be made. The state of the art shows that the placing a spring to actuate the tongue in the recess, r, at the side of the tongae, vras the distinctive feature of Bristol's invention, and was an improvement upon the Judd hook, in which "the spring was inserted in the bottom of a channel formed between the two cheeks of the shank, and eiiclosed between the two cheeks of the tongue." The rule of construction is clearly stated by Judge Shep- ley in Estabrook v. Dunbar, 10 0. G. 909. After saying that tech- nical claims are to be construed with reference to the state of the art 80 as to limit the patentee to, and give him the full beneiit of, the in- vention he bas made, the leamed judge says : " The general terras and sometiraes special words in the claims must re- ceive such a construction as may enlarge or contract the scope of the claim, so as to uphold that invention, and only that invention, which the patentee has actually made and deseribed, when such construction is not absolutely incou- sistent \v;ith the language of the claim." Under this rule, the flrst claim is for a tongue constructed with a recess in its aide, opening outward, combined with a coil spring which rests in such recess and operates between the body of the hook and the tongue. ^ The defendants also insist that the claim, if so construed, is in- valid, because, if the invention consisted in a combination of a tongue having a peculiar recess with a spring, the form of the recess does not affect the spring, and consequently the claim is for a mere aggre- gation of parts. There must be a combination of spring and tongue, and the spring must be placed where it can actuate the tongue. The old location was in a channel formed between the two cheeks of the tongue. The location was objectionable, not because the spring did not cause the tongue to snap easily, but because another location would be more «conomical and would keep the hook more free from dirt. The new combination was of spring and recessed tongae, the recess being so constrilcted that by means of the new location of the spring a new and beneficiai resuit was attained. It was not material whether the benefit was to the spring or not, but it is material that the benefit should be the resuit of the new combination. The combination in this case does not fall within the principie of Halles v. Van Wormer, 20 Wall. 353, which condemns a combination creating no new efiect as its resiilt. , : Without examining in detail all the objections which are urged in<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 9f1ual1uij03y583lw9koa876nauukh Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/630 104 701059 15135604 14627195 2025-06-14T22:35:59Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EBPO → REPO, removed: � (7) 15135604 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>616 FEDBEAL REPORTER. States. Afterwards, the president, by a pardon, remitted to the de- fendant the payment of two-thirds of the fine. One-third of tiie fine, with interest, was paid into court. The informer claimed, and was allowed, ,by the court therefrom the whole of the sum adjudged to him, on the ground that the president had no right to remit any of the part of the fine so adjudged to the informer, and that he was en- titled to the whole of such part as if there had been no remission. The conviction was under a statute — act of June 30, 1864, § 41, (13 St. at Large, 239) — which provided that all suits for fines under it should be in the name of the United States. The court remarkei that where the prosecution was wholly in the name of the United States it saw nothing in any of the authorities which denied to the president the power, by pardon, to remit the interest of an informer before judgment. The view urged by the libellant is that the power of the president to pardon is exclusive; that no part of it can be exercised by any one else without infringing on the power of the president; that if the secretary of the treasury can pardon without the president's concur- rence, he may grant pardons which the president would refuse ; that if eongress can authorize the secretary to grant pardons, it can itself grant them, and prescribe the terms and conditions under which they shall be granted ; and that if it can authorize the secretary to remit penalties incurred under the statute in question it can authorize him, or any one else, to remit the panishment of any offence, and can so legislate that after the president bas refused to grant a pardon it can still be granted under authority conferred by eongress. In support of this view, the case of Ex parte Garland, i Wall. 333, is cited, aa holding that the power of the president to pardon is unlimited, ex- tending to every offence known to the law, and not subject to legisla- tive control, and that eongress can neither remit the effect of such pardon nor exclude from its exercise any class of ofienders. The case of U. S. V. Klein, 13 Wall. 128, is also referred to, as holding that eongress cannot impair the effect of a pardon, because that would be to infringe the constitutional power of the president. There is not, in this case, any question raised as to the effect of a pardon which has been granted by the president, as there was in Ex parte Garland and in U. S. \. Klein. The question is not as to any restriction of the pardoning power of the president. It is not claimed that the secretary alone eould remit this forfaiture, and that the president could not. The praetice of the government, as is seen from the citations, has been to regard the power of the secretary<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 28a6gehuab1t6vxr7xwsyzhh6to7xrq Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/640 104 701069 15135605 8176678 2025-06-14T22:36:00Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, TEB. → TER., removed: � (7) 15135605 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>626 FEDBEAL REPORTER. whether this damage was a peril of the sea. The burden in this case is on the owner of the vessel to establish the existence of facta to make ont the exception. If the cause of the damage is shown to be an ordinary risk of navigation, after the exercise on the part of those in charge of the vessel of all reasonable precautions to prevent the injury, the negligence of the vessel is not made out, otherwise it is. It is contended for the claimants that none of the almonds were damaged by coming in contact with any portions of the vessel which had been stained with petroleum ; that during the voyage there waa formed, by reason of the changes of temperature, a large quantity oi steam and sweat in the hold of the vessel, which, settling on the beams, dropped on the bags of almonds, and thus damaged the almonds, because the beat of the hold caused the fumes and vapor of petroleum to exude from the wood forming the vessel, and they impregnated such steam and sweat, and thus the odor of petroleum ■vras conveyed to the almonds ; that those in charge of the vessel had, after unloading the cargo of petroleum, used proper care to cleanse the vessel from all petroleum which had got upon the wood forming the vessel before they received the almonds on board, so that the vessel, at the time the almonds were taken on board, was in a proper condition to receive them; that the damage from such steam and sweat, and thus from such impregnation of the almonds with the odor of petroleum, was a damage from a peril of the sea; and that as the libellants, before they put the cargo on board, knew that the vessel had just had on board a cargo of petroleum, the vessel is not liable for any damage which the almonds received from fumes or odor of petroleum resulting from beat of the hold during the voyage. The district court did not determine by what method the taste and odor of petroleum were conveyed to the almonds, because it held that the liability of the vessel was the same whether petroleum in a fluid state or wOod saturated with petroleum came in contact with the goods, or whether the vapor of petroleum, produced by the beat of «ihe hold, caused the damage, either by tainting the sweat of the hold or by tainting the cargo directly. No allowance was made by the district court for damage by the steam or sweat of the hold, aside from petroleum damage, or for any injury by steam or sweat which did not convey petroleum. Allowance was made for only one kind of damage : that was petroleum damage, however conveyed, as long as it proceeded from the ship. Whether the steam and sweat result- ing from beat or otherwise, and neeessary incidents of a voyage at ,sea. existed or not, it is not a neeessary incident of such steam or<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> tjbwh0gwj6076qshzh8mvp9evknmu6h Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/654 104 701083 15135607 8176692 2025-06-14T22:36:01Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, FEDBB → FEDER, EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (8) 15135607 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>€40 ■ FEDERAL REPORTER. disagreement between her ownera as to her employment at the in- stance of a minority in value.

Yet, under the circumstances of this case, it does not seem equitable to order a sale at once, and thereby possibly prevent Caples from completing or having the full benefit of a profitable business in which he now appears to be engaged. The libellant, although entitled to security, bas acquiesced so long in Caples using the vessel -without it, that his demand for a com- pulsory sale at this juncture is open to the suspicion that he is as- serting his right when he may think he has Caples at a disadvantage that will oompel him to buy at a high price. But it cannot be de- nied that Caples was in the wrong in taking the vessel away from Coyne, and enrolling her and employing her in another district, with- out giving the proper security, or at least offering to do so, when written to by Coyne as aforesaid, or even after the suit was brought, instead of which he insisted in his answer upon his right to retain the exclusive use and possession of the vessel without security or account, during his pleasure. The decree of the court will be that within 10 days Hezekiah Caples enter into a stipulation with sureties, to be approved by the clerk of this court, in double the value of J. F. and George T. Coyne's interest in said steamboat Gazelle, to-wit, the sum of $3,000, for the return thereof to this port, and to the possession of the libellant, on or before January 1, 1882, in as good condition as he received her after the repairs upon her machinery, necessary deterioration ex- cepted ; and unless he does so, that execution may issue against his property for the amount of said value as upon a decree of this court. And in default of said stipulation, that said vessel be sold as upon execution, and the proceeds brought into this court for distribution; and that upon the return of said vessel to this port, as aforesaid, she may be sold, and the proceeds disposed of as aforesaid upon the ap- plication of either party herein; and that the libellant recover his costs and expanses, to be taxed.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> apkh10g7bv1ic2bufnjdtci1t8kci42 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/672 104 701101 15135609 8176711 2025-06-14T22:36:03Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EEPORT → REPORT, FEDERAIi → FEDERAL , PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (6) 15135609 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>658 FEDERAL REPORTER. If a citizen had any general or common right to have hia case tried in the state court, and this statuts were in derogation of that right, there might be some elaim for a strict construction ; but it is not at all a common or preferred right or privilege, and the right of the other citizen with whom he litigates to have it tried in the federal court is entitled to the same consideration. Therefore, the idea that the proceeding of removal is in derogation of a right, or is extraor- dinary, in the sense of these rules of construction, and to be so strictly construed that everything is to be taken against it, is untenable. We are to construe it just as we do the statutes giving us original jurisdiction, or as the state courts do statutes regulating their ordi- nary jurisdiction. Indeed, it is original jvlrisdiction, and the only difference is in the mode of acquisition. Murray v. Patrie, 5 Blatohf . 343, 346. It is not appellate, nor supervisory, nor extraordinary, but peculiar; and the peouliarity is that the contending citizens use the process of the state courts to originate their litigation, and sub- sequently get their controversy into the federal court by removal, instead of going there directly, and either bas a right to do it. There are some oircumstances under which it is necessary to do this to ob- tain the benefit of statutory rights and remedies, that could not other- wise be conferred ; as, for example, where a simple contract crediter files a bill in this state to set aside a fraudulent conveyance, and thereby acquires a statutory lien he would not have, pethaps, if the same bill were filed in the federal court. T. & S. Code, (Tenn.) § 4288. Undoubtedly, in the matter of regulating suits, whether commenoed here or brought bere after being commenced elsewhere, congress can prescribe such conditions precedent for the exercise of the jurisdiction as it chooses ; and if it bas said that, as an inexorable rule, we sball not proceed in this case unless the record is filed on the first day of the term, we must obey it. But the statute does not say so explic- itly, and it is pUrely a matter of construction. Being open for con- struction, the question is, sball it be construed strictly against the jurisdiction, or liberally in favor of it ? If it be a condition preced- ent, nothing can dispense with it, not even inevitable accident; and this seems to me an "absurd consequence," considering the^ nature of the case, and the character and purposes of the jurisdiction, as declared by the constitution, and shown by the history conneeted with its place in that instrument.

Jt does not, on the one hand, seem to me, at least, that cong^-ess thought it very important, except for tlje prderly and prompt dispatch of business, that the transcript should bq fiied on the iirst day of the term of this court; and, on the : otherj it does seem impoi'tant and necessary to fix some stage of thel proceedings in the state court after which there should be no removal. T^txia provision is prohibitory as to time, and negative in the very nature of the object the legislature has in view. The other is affirmative only; and where this is the case, the courts ■will not add the words "and not a,fter" by implication, Ryan v. Van- landingham; 7 Ind. 417, 424. But even this clause of the statute, under the influence of the principle that enlarges the remedy, has been, by construction, extended so as to include cases not within its letter. Removal Cases, 100 U. S. 457, 473; Nat. Bank v. Wheeler, 13 Blatchf. 318, The authoiity of adjudicated cases is so conflieting that a ruling either way on this ground of the motion to remain would find support, and I have, therefore, endeavored to get at the governing principle, quite independently of the cases more or less closely allied to the one we have in hand. Considering that the clause we are construing has been in all the acts from 1789 to the present time, there are remarkably few cases on the point to be found in the re- ports. The only expression of the supreme court is found in the Removal Cases, 100 U. S. 457, at p. 475. By fault of the elerk of the state court the removing party did not file the transcript on the first day, but did on the second, and the court bverruled the objec- tion, saying: "While the act of congress requires seeurity that the transcript shall be flled on the first day, it nowhere appears that the circuit court is to be deprived of its jurisdiction if by accident the party is delayed uiitil a later day in the term. If the circuit court, for good cause shown, accepta the transfer after the day, and during the term, its jurisdiction will, as a general rule, be complete and the reinoval properly eliected." This seems to leave the question to the discretion of this court to either accept or decline jurisdiction; but, of course, that discretion is to be regulated by the rules of law applicable to the proper construc- tion of the statute and correct practice under it. In the cases already cited it will appear that there is much more latitude allowed where the delay is caused by the act of an officiai than where it is caused by the act of the party himself. 2 Am.

Potential as the principle of ratification some- times is, I do not think it can be safely applied. to supply a want of compliance with those conditions prescribed by the statutory or mu- nicipal law as a prerequisite for obtaining jurisdiction over the per- son or property of an infant. If the infant oould herself ratify, it might be different. No case cited justifies the argument in favor of the doctrine. McKenna was not a guardian, either regular or ad litem, at the time of filing this petition; no process had been served or sub- stituted by publication ; and the state court had obtained no jurisdic- tion over the infant when he came, in and as next friend sought to remove the caSe in her behalf. The merely filing the bill and nam- ing her as defendant did not make her a party. She had no power to voluntarily appear and waive process, and no one was authorized to appear for her. Subsequently he did obtain the necessary author- ity by bis appointment as guardian in a case like this, under the state statutes, to appear voluntarily, for it is a case, I think, where service of process on the guardian alone binds the infant; and where that is the case I do not see why he may not voluntarily so appear without process. But these statutes only operate in the state court, and can confer no power to voluntarily appear in a federal court where the notion of a voluntary appearance by a guardian or any one else to bind an infant is wholly unknown. The only theory on which it could be permitted is that we are here, pro hac vice, in these re- moval causes, a state court, with the same powers under these state statutes that those courts possess. I think this is not the theory of the act of congress, but the one I have indicated, which is that the defendant comes from the state court only after he is properly there by an appearance in that court. Besides this, in a former part of this opinion we have seen how strictly we are bound to the conditions of the removal act in order to acquire jurisdiction; and it seems to me plain that the petitioner cannot depend on a subsequentlyracquired authority to aid the petition for removal. It is further insisted that this is a case arising under the constitu- tion and laws of the United States and that we have jurisdiction here irrespective of QItizenship, and for that reason this case should not<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 1kczi2krxqqdrzax20qd2v3wm8hm5oo Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/698 104 701129 15135612 8176739 2025-06-14T22:36:06Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (8) 15135612 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>684 FEDERAL REPORTER. courts ; tut it does not follow from this that when a conflict arises we. must apply the test of the right of succession in determining the conflict, nor that the domicile of succession must be inevitably the one that settles this suable citizenship, if I may so oall it. Simple residence is the usual test of the place to sue a man ; and while I do not depart from the established doctrine that citizenship is something more than residence, I am not prepared to hold that it is nothing less than the domicile of succession.

The presumption in every case is, -where a suit is brought, that there is a controversy between the parties, unless the contrary appear frofla the record. This was the view of the subject evidently taken by oongress in theienact- ment of the third section of the act above cited. By that section it is provided — , "That whenever either party, or any one or more of ^he plaintiflfs. or defend- ants entitled to remove any suit mentioned in the next preceding- section, shall desire to remove such suit from a state court to the circuit court of the United States, he or they may make and flle & petition in such suit in^ such state court before.or at the term at which said cause could be firsttried,"etc.' In very few, if in any, of the states of the Union are there auy statutes authorizihg the filing of an answer before the first term; There is no siich statute in this state, and, inasmuch as the: act of congress expressly authorizes the petition for removalto be made' before the term at which the case could be first tried, it followsiithat the petition may, in iuany cases, be presented before any an'swer or demurrer is authorized to be filed. Besidesy we are both of the opinion that it aflfirmatively appears from this record that there is a contro-; versy, The petition for removal distinctly so states, andit is aworn to. There is certainly nothing in the statute requiring that the fact of a controvei'sy shall appear either by an anawet or a demurrer. : If it appears from the record, whether by the petition for 'rerixo val; or otherwise, it is sufficient. ,- ' , The case of Stanbrough v.

In that easfe Rothtock, J., expresses the opin- ion that a removal is not authorized in a case where th«re isnp answer or demarrer, and the record does not show that there is ai controversy between the parties.

A. P. Van Dmee, Asst. U. S. Atty., for the United States, Latimer e Morrow, for defendants. HoFFMAN, D. J. The ground of forfeiture set forth in the original libel in this case was, in substance, that the master and crew of the Bchooner San Diego had, without the consent of the Alaska Com- mercial Company, taken and killed seals in the waters adjacent to the islands of St. Paul and St. George, in Alaska territory, in viola- tion of section 1967 of the Revised Statutes. The amended bill alleges the killing to have been done "within the limits of Alaska territory, and in the waters thereof, to-wit, on and near Otter island, and in the neighborhood of and adjacent thereto, in violation of section 1956 of the Revised Statutes. The killing alleged in either case was unlawful and contrary to the provisions of title 13, c. 3, of the Revised Statutes, enacted for the protection and preservation of fur-bearing animais in Alaska territory. But the pleader was misinformed as to the precise locus in quo where the killing was eliected. He was therefore allowed to amend his libel so as to conform to the facts. On this amended libel the vessel and skins were condemned. The claimants had previously given bonds for the appraised value of the vessel and cargo. The present suits are brought on these bonds, and it is contended on the part of the sureties that the eflfect of allowing the amendment which bas been mentioned was to exonerate them from all liability under their bonds, by means of which they obtained a delivery to them of the property seized.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> ce4fw0w8w4xoeve9mrfk3flupl5ja6p Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/714 104 701145 15135615 8176757 2025-06-14T22:36:09Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBTER → PORTER, EBPO → REPO, removed: � (9) 15135615 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>700 FEDERAL REPORTER. But in the case of any "instrument or document" other than nego- tiable paper, the intention or purpose of . the party to or for whom it is made or delivered, or the use he puts it to or makes of it, is simply immaterial. Nor is it material in this suit whether the Drains caused this deed to be made within the meaning of the statute or not, and could only become so in an action against them for the penalty im- posed by the aot. If their grantor omitted to stamp it, as requii-ed by law, with the intent to defraud the revenue, it is void, no matter who, or whether any one, caused them to do so. Nor does it appear that the Drains caused this deed to be made, otherwise than by be- coming the actual purchasers of the property described therein ; and that this did not bring them within the purview or penalty of the statute is too plain for argument. The proposed amendment is immaterial, and that is a sufficient reason why the motion should be denied. But I do not think this amendment ought to be allowed, even if it contained the allegation that the deed to the Drains is void because the grantor therein made and delivered the same to them without its being duly stamped, and with the intent to defraud the United States. Amendments to a bill, af ter a demurrer thereto bas been Bustained, are not allowed as a matter of right, but rest in the discretion of the court, and are only allowed when they are necessary to promote or attain the ends of justice in the case. Hunt v. Bousmaniere, 2 Mason, 365. The case sought to be made against the defendants by the amend- ment is this : J. A., being a co-surety with the plaintiflf on an officiai bond, is alleged to have conveyed the premises to his son without or upon a grossly inadequate consideration, with intent to defraud the state and theplaintiff, who has sincebeen compelled topay the bond. But it is admitted that the Drains purchased from the son for a suffi- cient consideration, and without notice of such fraudulent intent, and are therefore not affected by it. Coneeding this, however, it is claimed that the deed to the Drains is void because their grantor only put a stamp of the value of 50 cents on it when he should have put two dollars, with intent to defraud the revenue of the difference; and therefore the property, for the purpose of this suit, must be consid- ered as still held by the son under the fraudulent deed from J. A„ and subject to be applied upon the latter's debt to the plaintiff. But the plaintiff also imputes another, and, in my judgment, a more probable, motive for the omission to stamp the deed sufficiently,<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> tbo9iyryobvptsdrw7t06ndzx773uuw Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/716 104 701147 15135617 8176759 2025-06-14T22:36:10Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (12) 15135617 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>702 FEDERAL REPORTER.

A bill brought by a patentee to recover profits and damages for an alleged infringement of 38 claims in six difEerent patents, is demurrable on the ground cl multifariousness, where there is nothing in the bill to show that any two or more of the patents are in fact, or are capable of being, used in making a single structure, or that the defendant has so used them, and where the defendant would be clearly prejudiced by being compelled thiis to defend himself in one suit against so many alleged causes of action. a. EqUITY RuLB 37 CONSTRtJED. Equity rule 37 applies where a demurrer and an answer are put in at the same time to the whole of a bill. J. H. Whitelegge, for plaintif. G. G. Frelinghuysen, for defendant. Blatchford, g. J. The bill in this case states that the plaintiff invented certain "improvements in ventilators, skylighta, skyiight turrets, conservatories, and other glazed structures and ventilating louvres" described in "several letters patent and reissues thereof." It then avers that he obtained six several patents, Nos. 94,203 and 100,143 and 106,157 and 112,594 and 143,149 and 143,153; that he obtained reissues of all of them, the reissues being six in num- ber, one of each, (though it does not appear of whioh original any particular reissue is the reissue,) the reissues being numbered 8,697 and 8,674 and 8,675 and 8,676 and 8,688 and 8,689; and that sinoe the reissues the defendant has, without authority, infringed said several reissues, and made, used, and sold said inventions. The bill interrogates the defendant as to whether he has made and sold "ventilators, skylights, skyiight turrets, conservatories, and other glazed structures, and ventilating louvres, and embraced within any or either" of the said "several letters patent and reissued letters patent;" also, in four several questions, as to -whether he has made, sold, or used what is claimed in each one of four claims in reissue No. 8,597, quoting it; and the like as to each one of fifteen claims in reissue No. 8,674, and of seven claims in reissue No. 8,675, and of two claims in reissue No. 8,676, and of seven claims in reissue No. 8,688, and of three claims in reissue No. 8,689, there being 38 sev- eral claims thus inquired about.

This means that the patents sued on are distinct one from the other, and that they are not alleged to be conjointly in- fringed in any one article which the defendant has made or used or sold. This averment of the demurrer is true. Where there is a joinder of distinct claims between the same par- ties, it has never been held, as a general proposition, that they can- not be united, and that the bill is, of course, demurrable for that cause alone. Nor is there any positive, inflexible rule as to what, in the sense of courts of equity, constitutes a fatal multifariousness on demurrer. A sound discretion is always exercised in determining whether the subject-matters of the suit are properly joined or not. It is not very easy, apriori,to say exactly what is or what ought to be the true line regulating the course of pleading on this point. AU that can be done, in each particular case as it arises, is to consider whether it comes nearer to the class of decisions where the objection is held to be fatal, or to the other class, where it is held not to be fatal. In new cases the court is governed by those analogies which seem beat founded on general convenience, and will best promote the due admin- istration of justice, without multiplying unnecessary litigation on the one hand, or drawing suitors into needless and oppressive expenses on the other. Story, Eq. PL §§ 531, 539; Horman Patent Manufg Co. v, Brooklyn City R. Co. 15 Blatehf. 444. We are not without caaes on the subject, in suits on patents, in this country. In Nourse v. Allen, 4 Blatehf. 376, in 1869, before Mr. Justice Nelson, a bill on four patents was held good, on demurrer, where it alleged that the machine sued oontained all the improve- ments in all the patents. The court thought that the convenience of both parties, as well as a saving of the expenses in the litigation, seemed to be consulted in embraoing all the patents in one suit, in such a case ; and that although the defenoes, as respected the several improvements, might be different and unconnected, yet the patents were connected with each other in each infringing machine. In Nellis v. McLanahan, 6 Pieh. Pat. Cas. 286, in 1873, before Judge McKennan, it was held that where a suit in equity ia brought for the infringement of several patents for different improvements, not necessarily embodied in the construction and operation of any one machine, the bill must coutain an explicit avermeut that the infring-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> m0e0cg0syfsrs6cs7jpnfev5gek2ubk Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/724 104 701155 15135619 8176768 2025-06-14T22:36:12Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: nlv → nly , FEDBB → FEDER, EDERAIi → EDERAL , POBT → PORT, ORTBB → ORTER, L EKPORT → L REPORT, removed: � (20) 15135619 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>YIO FEDERAL REPORTER. ties to make the license local and personal. The stipulation at the end of the agreement looks to a further license from Lilienthal in case the Moseses should sell out or move. But be that as it may, the Swan patent set forth in the bill is not referred to in the document. The decree is that Lilienthal is the owner of the Lambert process ; that Washburn bas infringed upon his rights, and must account for the profits which have accrued to him thereby; and that an injunction issue restraining the further use of the patent in controversy.

The court will not take judicial notice of any substantial difference between lead, or other soft metal suitable for the purpose of making such traps, whea cast and when drawn. In Equity. James A. Whitney, for plaintiff. Peter Van Antwerp and Rodney Mason, for defendants. Wheeleb, D. J. This case rests upon letters patent No. 220,767, issued to the orator and purporting to be for an improvement in soft- metal traps. Several questions arise upon the defences made, and among them one upon the patent itself , as to whether it covers any pat- entable invention, or any invention at all. The specification states : "The object of this invention is to provide what are commonly termed ' plumbers' traps' (which are ordinarily made of lead) of a quality superior to those made before the date of my invention, and at much less expense. The said invention comprises, as a new article of manufacture, a die-drawn seam- less soft-metal trap, the same being the trap resulting from the practice of the means and methods herein specified as embraced in my invention — the practice of the process of causing soft metal to issue with variable velocities, or in variable quantifies, at opposite sides of an annulai die." Then, what the figures accompanying are, one being a sectional and another a side view of the traps, and the rest views of apparatus to make them; and then that —<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> exbg5o13xly82uunaqvj6xqo53hueee Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/726 104 701157 15135620 14627200 2025-06-14T22:36:13Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDBB → FEDER, EEPO → REPO, POBTER → PORTER, removed: � (5) 15135620 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>712 FEDERAL REPORTER." ate far the same purpose in precisely the same way. The new are said to be of uniform thickness about the bends, but so are the old; the new are said to be seamless, but the old are solid at the juncture of the moulds ; the new are said to be marked with "longi- tudinal straitions," but these have nothing whatever to do with the quality or operation of the trap. They are merely the inevitable marks of the die. They are said to distinguish in appearance the new from the old, but that would only be the subject of a design patent, if any. The only difference there can be, in reality, is that one is cast and the other is drawn. If there is any substantial difference be- tween lead or other suitable soft metal, when cast, and when wrought or drawn, well enough known to be the subject of judicial notice, the court should doubtless regard that difference. There is a well-known difference betweencast iron and wrought iron; but this isnot because castiog makes the difference. Only iron of the quality of cast iron can be cast. It is not so, or is not commonly known to be so, of lead, or other suitable soft metals. They may be either moulded or wrought or drawn of the same quality, and are apparently of the same quality when done. These old and new traps are therefore alike, in thCi sense of the patent law. They are of the same material, and accpmplish the same result in the same way. The sole difference is that in appearance between the bark-like surface of one and the straited surface of ^he other. There is nothing between the two to be in- vented and the patent covers no invention. Wood Paper Patent, 23 Wall. 662. However meritorious an invention of the meansfor mak- ing a drawn trap might be, this patent, which, while it describes means, is for the product only, bas nothing to rest upon.

This he did not do, for the col- lision occurred at .least 100 yards, and probably much more than that, from the shore of the island. It ispretty evident, I think, from the testimony, that the pilot of the Neil, by backing his fessel tipon a straight rudder, caiised her bow to incline towards the center of the channel aud thus to corne into collision xvith the other vessel. But, whatever the reason may be, the fact is clear that the Neil was not as near to the island as she should have been, and was therefore in f ault. Was the Hickory also in f ault ? As to the width of the navigable channel at the place of collision, and as to the distance from the shore of the island to the place of ; collision, there is much uncertaiinty in the evidence. It is clear that the main channql runs near the island, but iitas also clear that there was at th^^t time good navigable water for a distance of nearly half a mile. The Hickory was bound to give the Neil plenty of room to pass along near the shore of the island and to bear over towards the main shore for that purpose. I think it fair to say that if the Neil had fully one-half of the ordinary channel in which to pass down she was bound to keep within it. If she was seen further out in time f or the pilot of the Hicli- ory to have avoided this collision by bearing still further over towards the main shore, then it was hi^ duty to havie dope so. , But if the pilot of . the Hickpry so directed his vessel that he believed he was giving the Neil plenty of room, and if but for the sudden ti^rning of the bow of the latter across the channel she wquld have had, plenty of room, then I think the fault was wholly with the J^eil, and this latter seems to have been the fact. By some failure to manage the Neil flucoessfully, while backing her for the purpose of bringing her near the island, her bow was thrown suddenly outward, apd being probably caught by the carrent she was placed in a position almost at right angles with the channel, and this at a moment too late ,for the Hickory to change her course and avoid the accident, The pilot of the Hickory had, with good reason, caloulated that , the bow of the Neil would be kept, down stream, and it see^is that, if this reasonable expectation had been realized, there would'haye been up collision. , : ; In rieaching this conclusion I give considerable weiglit, to the finding of the boardiof, arbitrators, composed of experts seiected by the parties themselyes, who, by agreement of parties, heard the testir mony and rendejred itheir award in the ,co)irt below.

This is an action in rem on a maritime contract, based upon a eharter-patty, for a non-compliance with its terms. It appears that after the charter party had been duly executed, the master and part owner, who had made the same, declined and refused to obey the instructions given, and neglected to proceed to the port where it was intended to put on board the cargo, so that the libellant was eompelled to charter another vessel, to his damage. The first question is whether an action in rem can be sustained. The language of the charter-party gives no direct or positive pledg- ing of the vessel, but the binding clause is in these words : "And for hhe faithful performance of this agreement the respective parties do hereby bind themselves, each unto the other, in the sum of $800, United States currency." There being no binding of the vessel by the terms of the charter- party, nor taking of cargo on board, there is no maritime lien or hypothecation which will support an action in rem. Vandewater v.

An attorney's lien upon a judgment is subject to any existing right of Set-ofl in the other party to the suit. In Equity. On the thirtieth of April, 1880, complainant recovered a Judgment in the circuit court of Madison county, Iowa, against respondent Eobert Eyre, for the sum of $2,877. On the twenty-first of October, 1880, the said respondent Eobert Eyre recovered judgment in this court against complainant for the sum of $287.12. On the first of Novem- ber, Wainwright & Miller, attorneys for Eobert Eyre, filed their notice under the statute, claiming an attorney's lien upon the last-named judgment for the full amount thereof. Execution having been issued upon the last-named judgment, complainant files this bill alleging the foregoing facts, and prays that proceedings under the same be enjoinedj and that the right of set-off be decreed. Eespondents de- niur to the bill. McCaughan, Dahney de McCaughan, for complainant. Parsons d: Runnells and Wainwright <e Miller, for respondents. MoCbaet, g. J. The right of set-off exists under the statute unless it is defeated by the attorneys' lien, claimed by Wainwright & Miller. Code of Iowa, 1873, § 3097. The statute is declaratory of the common law and of the general principle of equity, according to which mutual judgmentswill generally be set off the one against the other. 2 Story, Eq. Jur. § 1437. Before the respondent Eyre ob- tained his judgment against the bank he was indebted to the bank on a judgment of over $2,800. The bank pleaded this judgment as a set-off against his claim in the suit of Eyre against the bank in this court, but a demurrer to that part of the answer was sustained, upon the ground that mutual judgments are to be set off the one against the other after their rendition. Can the right of set-off be defeated by the filing of an attorney's lien ? I think not. If Eyre had assigned his entire claim before judgment to Wainwright & Miller, and they had sued on it, I think it clear that the assignment would have been subject to the set-off previously held by the bank.

They were induced, however, by the debtors, and the representatives of Mrs. Benton and Judge Waller, to withhold for 48 hours, under a promise. that the sinall judgments wonld be paid, and a statement furnished, in the mean time. Instead of making any serions effort to redeem this promise, (and it is quite manifest that none was intended to be made,) the debtors and the representatives of Mrs. Benton and Judge Waller immediately had judgraent entered on the $20,000 note, and an exe- cution isSUed, covering more than twioe the value of all the property the .debtors owned. Here, again, was. an attempt to secure advan- tage by means of bad faith and. imposition. The subject need :nfit be pUrsued. 'Sufficient bas been sadd to justify the eeaiolusion that the Benton-Waller execution must be postponed. It seems proper ta say in this connection, that. Judge Waller, who resides at ^ distance, had very little personal.,ponnection with the transaction involved, aiid probably no personad knowledge of the particular.fea- tures whioli have given rise to this oontroversy. The general soope of iiis attorney's authority covered all matters involved, and he tniist bear the consequences. The authority of the attorney bas not been questioned by him-; and no one elsoican question it. We do not see anything in the evidence to justify a belief that the execution on the syndicate judgment was procured by the debtors, in violation of the bankrupt law. It is true that an agreement was entered into when the judgment was confessed, that these creditors should have a preference over all others, of execution against the personalty of the debtors; and be notified by the debtors when dan- ger thf eatened from other sources. As we have seen, however, the debtors not only failed to perform this agreement, but sought to defeat these creditors by a preference of the Benton-Waller judgment, whose amount exeeeds twice the value of all their property. The subsequent notice was unimportant, The debtors then supposed the plaintiffs could get nothing, It was notice that an execution would do no good, and was as well calculated to induce them to desist, as to proceed. They could get nothing except by defeating the object of the debtora. It would be a perversion of language to say that this execution was procured to give the plaintiffs a preference. The master's finding as respects the rights of the syndicate creditors, between themselves, is adopted. McKbnnan, C.

The first seven exceptions assert iu substance that it was incum- bent on complainant to show by the proof that defendants Hot only made profits by the use of complainant's device in their machine, but the specifie amountof such profits; that complainant has not only failed to make such proof, but. also that the testimony taken and reported affirmatively shows that defendants have made no profits by the use of complainant's "long 'swing" feature in their machines. These exceptions I shail first consider. i In a brief opinionj, directing a second reference to the master, I stated that the master would be directed to hear proof "as to what this 'long swing' element in defendants' cultivator, \irhich belongs to, complainant, is worth to defendants' machine; how much it adds to the value of defendants' maohiue-^he saleable value." I assume that this must be the basis of the inquiry. I consider the law to^ b& well Bettled that when a complainant's patent oovers but one of many features of a machine, the gains on the whdie machine cannot be reckoned as damage, but only tha gains arising from the use of the special device or element covered by the coiEplain&nt's patent. If the other parts of the machine which go to makf the whole a complete and operative organism manufactured by defendants are covered by patents in which complainant has no interest, or even if they are public property, the complainant cannot claim profits made by the use of such parts, even in combination with his device. For illus- tration, if an operative cultivator could be made without the use of any patented device, but by the use of a certain patent a better or improved cultivator can be made, the damages to the patentees for the use of a patent so used would be the increased value given the machine by the use of the patent, not the profits on the entire ma- chine. This rule was recognized in the Caivood Patent Case, 94 U. S. 710, where the supreme court said: " In settling an account between a patentee and an infringer of a patent, the question is not what profits the latter has made in liis business, or from his manner of conducting it, but what advautage has he derivcd from his use of the patented invention."

There was no evidence of the express (direct) appointment of Idispn to sell them. His author- ity could only be inferred from the relation of the parties, or proved by the subsequent ratification of the contract. Briefly, the court instructed the jury that the relation of the parties, (Idison being defendants' general agent for the sajle of manufactured lumber, sash, doors, etc.,) did net authorize him to make the contract, and left the question of ratification to the jury, omitting such of the instructions asked not pertinent to the case. Neither abstract questions of law were given, nor the exact language of plaintiflf's requests. In reference to the claim urged, that defendants, with full knowl- edge of Idison's act, and with a copy of the contract in their posses- sion, by acquiescence, had ratified it, the court, in substance, said : When information is given of the action of an agent who exceedg'bis authority, it is the duty of the principal, as soon as possible, to repudiate it. It is not fair dealing, under such circumstances, to reject the contract and not inform the other party, (as the plaintiff in this case,) of its repudiation. This covered the request asked, and I see no error in the instruction. In fact, I am satisfied with the charge, as a whole, and think the case was fairly placed before the jury, according to the testimony. There is, however, a troublesome feature of the case, and a new trial chould be granted. The plaintiff offered certain letter-press copies of his own letters, containing competent and material evidence. No notice to produce the originals had been given, and they were excluded. ' On the trial plaintiff 's counsel stated, and now reiterates, Ibat the rule had been established in the Iowa district, with the coticurrence of all the judges, "that letter-ptess copies made at the time of letters written and sent by mail between parties to a suit are iiot copies in the sense of the rule requiring notice, but are duplicate originals." I declined to recognize any such rule, but offered to withdraw a juror and postpone the trial to the next term; but for some reason the counsel determined to proceed and accept the decision. I was under the impression at the time that the amount inyolved would permit a writ of error, and the plaintiff, in case of an adverfee verdict,, could take advantage of this ruling against him. It now appears the judgment of this court is conelusive, and while I am of the opinion that the copies were properly excluded and if a writ of eiror could be taken would not disturb the verdict, yet there is a possibility of error in rejecting the evidence. The counsel aSseverates that my opinion is in conflict with airth,e judges of the Iowa district.

This case is before the court on a plea to the jurisdiction, which presents for consideration a question of impor- tance in its application to this case, and, probably, to other cases in this district. The facts are agreed upon, and are as follows : Plaintiff, a citizen of Nebraska, sues the defendant, alleging that it is a citizen of Iowa, to recover damages for personal injuries sustained, as he alleges, at the towii of Blair, Nebraska, on the twenty-aeventh day of March, 1869, through the negligence of defendant in the management of a railroad then possessed and opeiated by it in Nebraska. The said defendant, the Sioux City and Pacific Railroad Company, was duly organized and incor- porated under the laws of Iowa in 1864. Prior to the year 1870 it built a railroad iii thO/State of Iowa, and also extended the saine into and built a i-ailroad in the state of Nebraska.

By an act of the general assembly of Nebraska, ap- proved Febraary 12, 1869, it is provided — " That any railroad corapany heretofore organized under the laws of the states of Kansas, Missouri, or lovva is hereby authorized to extend and build its road into the state of Nebraska; and such railroad companies shall have and possess all the powers, franchises, and privileges, and be subject to the same liabilities, of railroad companies organized and incorporated under the laws of this state: pro- vided, «uch non-resident company shall first file a true copy of its articles of incorporation with the secretary of state, and shall comply with the laws of Nebraska as to filing and recording articles of incorporation, and in all things required by law relating to railroads and otherwise in this state ; and such non- resident Company shall keep an otuce in this state, in some county in this state in which its road is or is proposed to be; and shall be liable to civil process, to be sued and to sue, as provided by law." Gen. St. Neb. 1873, p. 203. By another act of said general assembly, approved February 14, 1873, it la provided — "That any railroad company which bas been organized under the laws of the states of Iowa, Kansas, or Missouri, and which bas heretofore extended its Une of road in this state, or built any portion of its Une of road in this state, and bas flled a true copy of its original articles of incorporation in the ofiSce of the secretary of state of this state, is, from the time of filing said copy of its original articles of incorporation as aforesaid, hereby declared tobe a legal corporation of this state, and entitled to all the rights, privileges, and franchises of railroad companies organized under and pursuant to the laws of the state of Nebraska." Id. 206. . The summons is returned served upon the defendant " by delivering to, and leaving with, Frank Harriman, its managing ag'ent in this state and district, a certified copy of this summons, with all the indorsements thereon. Said service was made in "Washington county, state and district of Nebraska." The declaration in this case was filed AprU 27, 1874, and the summons was served on the eleventh day of May in the sarae year. Upon these facts the following questions arise upon the considera- tion of the plea to the jurisdiotion : First. Was the defendant a foreign corporation at the time the suit waa commenced? Second. And, if so, was the defendant an inhabitant of, or found within, the district of Nebraska at the time of the service of process in this case ? The suit was commenced and process served in April and May, 1874, at which times both the acts above named were in force — the latest one having been approved February 14, 1873. It is true that only the first of these acts was in force when the accident occurred which is the foundation of this suit, and inasmuch as I am of the opinion that the first act did not constitute the defendant a Nebraska corporation, it becomes necessary to consider whether it is the statute in force at the time of the accident, or that which is in force at the time of the service of process, that is to govern as to the forum. Upon this point I entertain no doubt.

Con- olly V. Taylor, 2 Pet. 556. This brings us to the question, whether, by th* last aet above quoted, (that of February 14, 1873,) or by the two acte oonstrued together, the defendant was created a corporation of the state of .Nebraska. The fact is conceded that the defendant corporation was organized under the laws of Iowa, and built a railroad in that state, which was extended into and through a portion of the territory of the state of Nebraska, and that it bas filed a true copyof the original articles of incorporation in the office of the seeretary of state of the state of Nebraska. The act of February 14, 1873, declares in plain terms that these facts shall constitute the defendant "a legal cor- poration of this 'state, and entitled to all the rights, privileges, and franchises of railroad companies organized under and pursuant to the laws of the state of Nebraska." It is entirely competent for the state, by its legislation, to determine the mode of creating corpora- tions within its limits, and, if it sees fit to declare that a foreign corporation may become a corporation of the state by building a railroad therein and filing a copy of its articles of incorporation with the seeretary of state, I have no doubt that compliance with these terms constitutes the foreign corporation a domestic corpora- tion with respect to all its transactions within such state. It follows that the Sioux City & Pacific Eailroad Company was a Nebraska corporation from and after the passage of the act of February 14, 1873, and therefore was sucb at the time of the commencement of this suit. Of course, if botb plaintiff and defendant were citizens of Nebraska at the time of the commencement of this suit, then this court bas no jurisdiction of the case, and the plea to the jurisdiction must be sustained. But counsel for plaintiff insists that there is a foreign corporation — a citizen of Iowa — whose eorporate name is the Sioux City & Pacific Eailroad Company; that it is this foreign corporation, and not the domestic corporation of the same name, that is sued ; and that plaintiff should be permitted to make out, if he can, a case against the Iowa corporation by proof. His right to do this is clear enougb, provided that corporation is in court and subject to our juris- diction. Whether it is in court or not depends upon the question whether, at the time of the commencement of this action, that corpo- ration had an agent in Nebraska, engaged in the management of its business, upon whom service bas been made.

It is not impossible that the Iowa corporation might have kept an office and agents in Nebraska at the time this suit was commenced, but, upon the proofs adduced upon this hearing, I conclude that the person served was an agent of the Nebraska corporation, and not of the Iowa corporation. At all events, it has not been shown that he was the agent of the lowa Company in such a sense that service upon him in Nebraska would be a sufficient service upon that company. The act of 1875, defining the jurisdiction of the circuit courts, (18 St. 470,) provides that — "No civil suit shall be brought l5efore either of said courts against any per- son by any original process or proceeding in any other district than that whereof lie is an inhabitant, or in which he shall be found at the time of serving such process or commencing such proceedings," etc. It has been held that a corporation created by one state may con- sent to be sued in another, in consideration of its being permitted by law to exercise therein its corporate powers and privileges. Eailroad Go. V. Harris, 12 Wall. 65; Ex Parte Schollenberger, 96 U. S. 369; Knott V. Ins. Go. 2 Woods, 479. But the legislature of Nebraska, instead of providing that foreign railroad corporations may extend their roads into that state, upon condition that they will consent to be sued there, has seen fit to provide that such corporations shall, by extending their lines of railroad into the state, and by filing copies of their articles of incorporation with the secretary of state, become domestic corporations, with all the powers and franchises of other state corporations. Such corporations, therefore, being citizens of the state of Nebraska — corporations of the state — can be sued by citizens of Nebraska only in the state courts. It may be that plain- tiff has a cause of action against the Iowa corporation, but it is not one that can be prosecuted in this court upon process served upon an agent engaged in the operation of the extended line of railroad within the state of Nebraska, and not shown to be an agent of the Iowa corporation. It is not pretended that there are two lines of railroad in Nebraska, one of which is operated by the Iowa corporation and the other by the Nebraska corporation; but, on the contrary, it is conceded that the railroad in Nebraska is simply an extension of the lowa road, and upon the admitted facts, without more, we must con- clude that the person upon whom service was made was employed in the operation of the line in Nebraska, and as the agent of the Nebraska<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> gtfz35ntb8yc9509y95qf9dti6vmjzx Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/817 104 701248 15135634 12451978 2025-06-14T22:36:27Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: cliase → chase , lowa. → Iowa., removed: � (13) 15135634 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>DAViS f. 8TBWAH.T. 803 Company may, unclej: its charter, engage in the express business, and under-: take to carry and deliver express packages beyond its Une.

This court cannbt for a moment sanction the proposition that the railrbad comlpany iiiky, by extortion or unjust discrimination, exclude the express company from the right to conduct its business upon their raibroad.

An order for this purpose should bot, as a rule, be made untU after a reference to a master, and a report by him after hearing. For the present, the injunction hereinbefore allowed will be modified so as to enjoin and restrain the respondent from charging the complainant for the transportation of express matter, ineluding closed packages, more than a fair and reasonable rate ; such charges in no case to exceed the rate charged upon similar express mat- ter to itself, or to any other express company, or for similar express matter received from, or delitered to, the Iron Mountain, etc., Eail- road Company Express, or the Paciiic Express Company.

The improvement consisted merely in providing the saw with a series of holes, corresponding with the wear of the teeth, to facilitate dressing or filing the saw. Defendant contended that complainant was entitled to only so much of the profit as was due to the presence in a saw of the holes, over an ordinary saw without them. Complainant contended and the master held that there was or should be only one perforated saw, and that the complainant was enti- tled, as damages, for all saws sold by defendant, to the difference between complainant's cost and selling price of an equal number of saws. The master cited Rubber Co. v. Goodyear, 9 Wall. 788; Oawood Patent, 94 TJ. S. 695; Pitts v. Hall, 2 Blatchf. 229; Cotffing v. Rumsey, 8 Blatchf. 36; ffostetter v.

The rule for the ascertainment of the damages, adopted by the master, is fairly deducible from the cases discussed in his report, and, it may be said, from others of corresponding tenor which might be cited. It is appropriate to this case, if it is not the only practicable one. The difficulty is in the administration of it. It is not an unreasonable inference that the profit derived by the complainants from the sale of their saw is due to the patented improvements embodied in it.

So, really, the plea aims to set up the defence specified in subdivision 3, of section 4920, of the Kevised Statutes, namely : that the invention was patented or described in a printed publication prior to its sup- posed invention by the patentees. The clear purport of section 4920 is that such a defence must, in a suit in equity, be set up in an answer, and not by a technical plea.

Being asked the namea of any persons in his employ when he made the articles in Madison street, he gives the names of Charles Guessnar and Eichard Harding. Harding was called by the plaintiffs. He was a cartman, and knew Anden in Madison street as a painter, but did no work for him save carting a load of f urniture. Anden states.as a means of fixing the date when he first made these structures, that he was at the same time painting what was called the Boston rocker, belonging to Palmer Brothers, and that he has a memorandum showing the receipt and delivery of Boston rockers, dated between December 7 and 10, 1861. He gives no description of what he calls the Boston rocker, nor does he state anything to show what it was, exeept when asked if it had a "toy-box." ' Hesays it had "tb secure the haaid in the single- . headed jfocker." ihis is; all very confused, The defendants claim that there isother evidence to show what this Boston rocker was, and that it was made about 1861, and to no great estent afterwards. Kich testifies that he sold at Boston, from 1859 to 1861, a rocking- horse andoradle combined, made under patent No. 23,003, granted tb Arad Woodworth, 3d, and others, Febrnary 15, 1839; but he says that it wasnot, to his knowledge, called the "Boston rocker." Goodrich testifies to the' same roeker as. Eich, as sold in Boston in 1860, and says that it was known in the ttadegenerally by the name of the "Bbston rocker;" that the last he sold was in 1869, and that they were not made. af ter that to his own knowledge. Tibbals testi- fifid that an, article called the "Boston rocker" appeared in New York about 1862; that the nearest thing to it is Exhibit 4, which is a rocker with a seat in a box, and a horse's head in the middle in frdnt; that he has not seen one since 1869, and that it had a short ruu of about two years. The Woodworth rocker is one with a seat in a box, and a horse's head in the middle in front. On the whole, it must be accepted that the Boston rocker referred to by Anden was the Woodworth rocker. John H. Brown, of the fiim of Elder & Brown, for whom Anden worked as above stated, testifies that Anden was their foreman painter for several years, including 1868; that he sold to Anden toys, and hobby-horses, and rocking devices in November, 1868, to be sold in his trade, he being engaged in business in Chatham street, and Bethune, and Washington; that Anden, during the time he worked for him, told him about his manufacturing hobby-horses, "Ghoo-flys and Dexters;" that Anden called such hobby-horses and<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> mxdiszt6l347ya0mt8rjqp9kdxi8or7 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/828 104 701259 15135638 8176882 2025-06-14T22:36:31Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: icb → ich , POBT → PORT, removed: � (12) 15135638 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>814 FBOEBAli aEPORTSB. Andeii is attempted to be contradicted on a collaterar tnatter, with a viewof showing that he is not a truthful -witness. In giving hia testimony in September, 1877, be says that wh en he went to work for Christian the second time "varions articles, profile aides, repre- senting horses, birds, etc., came continually to the shop to be repaired and painted from stores Mr. Christian dealt with." He does not Btate where the shop was to which he refers. McGill, who was with Christian as a woodi-worker and «aperintendent from 1857 to 1872, and who knew Anden there as a painter, says that while Anden was employed there, there were not, to his knowledge, "Shoo-flys, Dexters, or anything like Exhibit 11," brought there for repairs. Anden's iden- tification of the articles he refers to as "profile sides, representing horses, birds," etc., is very vagne and indefinite. It does not appear that he refers to the same things McGill does, so no contradiction is made ont. In regard to other contradiction^ of Anden by McGill, it appears that Christian had a factory up town and a wareroom down town ; that McGill worked at the factory, and that Anden worked at the wareroom. The plaintifl contends; and very foreibly, that from the history of the success of the plaintiff 's structure any device made by Anden like No. 3 would at once have attracted the attention of the trade and have gone into use.i This is dften a controlling circum- -atance in a case of doubt. But it often happens that, from varions rfortnitons eircuœstances, a complete invention iniabranch of busi- ness, where much depends on energy and facilities and capital, f ails to , attract that atteiition whiob, nnder different and better anspices, it receives when independently produced at a later day. On the. jwhole, it must be h eld that Anden's structure is established as anticipating claims 1 and 2. , h : No. 3 has no toy-box. Anden aays, in speaking of his structures ,Jike,No.:3: "I found it necessary to fix something in front, so that a small eliild , wouldn't fall forward in front, eut of it.

Mechanically, this structure contains all that there is in claims 1 and 2 of the plaintiff's reissue, although it contains no idea of a horse. But, whether the side frame be in the form of a horse or of an eagle, or of another bird or animal, is a mere matter of design, and has nothing to do with any mechanical element or combination found in either of those claims. It is shown that Brown made half a dbzen structures like No. 5, add sold one before Crandall's invention ; that he also made half a dozen others, like No. 5, before Crandall's inven- tion, exuept that they had representations of swans instead of eagles; and that the eagles were some ofithem shipped and some put iu the^ show-room ; and the swans were putin the show-room. The evidence is also satisfactory that the structure, like No. 6, had a hinged toy- box in front of the seat, serving to hold the child in place and form- ing a receptacle for playthings. It coifld be turned over to let the child ont, and did not differ from that in the plaintiff's reissue. Tibbals does not remember the toy-box, but it is sufficiently proved by Brown, Cowry, and Allen. Claims 3 and 5 are, therefore, antici* pated by the structures like No. 6. I deem it unnecessary to consider any of the other structures, or any of the prior patents set up in defence, as, on those above con- sidered, the bill must be dismissed, with costs.

REPORTER. Bawyeb, C. J., (orally.) In this action isinvokecl the construction of the patent issued to John J. Schillinger for an improvement in concrete pavements. This patent has been before me on several occasions, and I have had considerable difficulty in giving it a satis- factory construction. Previous to coming before me it was, at various times, before Judge Blatchford and^ Judge Shipman, each of whom had occasion to construe the patent, and both gave^it a construc- tion -wider in its scope than I, on first examination, thought it would bear. On further consideration of the patent j and of their views npon the, point, I am not prepared to say, with entire confidence, that their construction is not correct. Judge Blatchford is undoubt- edly one of the ablest jurists on the national bench, and the same may be said of Judge Shipman. The decisions of Judges Blatchford and Shipman are looked upon by the supreme court with great respect ; and it is probable that those two judges have tried more patent cases than any other tw<? judges in the United States now living. I have, therefore, felt very great diffidence in dissenting from them in the construction of a patent. On former trials of cases involving the rights of the complainant under this patent, I gave it a more limited construction than that given to it by the distinguished judges mentioned. They do not hold it necessary that, during the process of formation of the pavement constructed under the Schillinger patent, there should be interposed between the blocks anything which should permanently remain . In the' previous cases before me I inistructed the jury that, for the pur- pose of determining the question gf infringement in those cases, there should be something, either tar paper op its equivalent, permanently interposed between the joints. Under the construction given to the patent by Judge Blatchford, and also by Judge Shipman, there can be no doubt but that this patent has been infringed by the respond- ents in both the case of the Califomia Artificial Stone Paving Co. v. Penne, and the case of the Califomia Artificial Stone Paving Co, v. Molitor; and I think, after full consideration, that, even under the more limited construction which I have heretofore adopted, the re- spondents in both these cases have infringed. There is some conflict in the testimony as to.how these pavements were constructed by the respondents in both these cases-^as to whether or not there was any cutting at all at the joints during the process of formation ; and, particularly in the Molitor case, it is claimed that no cutting whatever was done by the respondent. I have gone over the testimony ou that subject carefully, and I am satisfied that in<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> krhmd0g3n5jqbum5i2l1o7rudmjcj92 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/842 104 701274 15135641 8176898 2025-06-14T22:36:34Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, removed: � (14) 15135641 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>828 S^DEBAL BKPORTSB.

This is a suit for infringement of letters patent granted by the United States to complainant, Abraham Eobinson, on the tenth of June, 1879, for an improTed apparatus for resweating tobacco. The defenee set up is — First, that defendant does not infringe complainant's patent; second, that complainant's patent is void for want of noyelty. It seems from the proof that, in the ma- . nipulation of tobacco, it is deemed very desirable to obtain a dark nniform color in the leaf, especially of that to be used for cigar wrap- pers ; that in the natural sweating which the leaf undergoes in the ordinarj process of curing, it is left spotted, or some leaves will ba •Eiiversed.

This principle is that where the lex loci con- tractus and the lex fori, as to conflicting rights acquired in eaeh, corne in direct collision, the cotnity of nations must yield to the positive law of the land.' Mr. Burge has expressed his own exposition of the doctrine in the fol- io wing terms: 'The law of a foreign country is admitted in order that the contract may receive the effect which the parties to it intended. No state, however, is bound to admit a foreign law, even for this purpose, when that law would contravene its own positive laws, institutions, or policy, which prohibit such a contract, or when it would pryudioe the rights of its own subjects.' " We are not left, however, to rely upon the authority of the distin- guished text writer above quoted in the solution of the question at issue, as it has been directly adjudicated in our own courts. In the case of The Bark Selah, in the district court of the United States for the district of California, Judge Hoffman rendered the following decision : " The master of the above bark, which is a British vessel, iutervenes for the payment of his wages out of the proceeds, concurrently with the seamen, and in preference to the claims of certain material-men for supplies furnished in this port on the usual credit of the ship-owners and masters. He claims this right under the Statute of 17 & 18 Vict. c. 104, § 191, which provides that every master of a ahip shall, so far as the case permits, have the same rights, liens, and remedies for the recovery of which, by this act, or by any law or oustom, any seaman not being master has for the recovery of his wages. "No decision is produced under this act.to the effect that the master may assert his claim for wages in priority to those of material-men with whom he has contracted and to whom he is persoually liable. "But, even if such be the law of England, it cannot supersede our own laws, which determine the rights of persons within our jurisdiction. and the effects of contraets made under them. As the contract with the material- man was made in this port, its efEect, and the remedies under it, must depend upon our law, which is at once the lex fori and the lex loci contraottis, " By the general maritime law prevailing in the United States and admin- istered by the national courts of admiralty, the claim of the material-man for materials furnished to a foreign vessel carries with it a lien on the vessel and has a priority over the master's claim for wages. " It was held by Mr. Justice Story that even the states of this Union have no power to alter, eularge, or narre w, with respect to foreign vessels, the admiralty jurisdiction of the United States, as governed by the legislation of congress, and by the general principles of maritime law. They have no authority to change that law, in respect to such vessels, by denylng liens existing under it, by creating new liens not recognized, or alter the priorities among different lienholders.

It charges her with too great speed, with not keeping well over on the west side of the river, and with taking a sudden and unnecessary sheex acroas the stern of the Syracuse tow after passing it, so as to bring the hawser under the bottoms of the beats in tow of the Syra- cuse, thereby bringing the schooner Jane L.

The answer avers that it was strong flood. There is no doubt upon the evidence, however, that the flood-tide had been running for an hour or two. The libellants insist'tiiat the George A. Hoyt was not over on the west side of the riyer ; but on this point, also, the testimony is clearly with the steam- boat. -She had been eoming down, keeping as. close as was prudent to the west bank, proceeding very slowly against a head-tide, and when the Syracuse and her tow came round the lamp at West Point the Hoyt and her tow were at that part of the river called Moore's f olly, beading'dowh towards the govemment dock, and as close to the west side of the channel as it is usual for tugs with tows to be. The libel alleges that the Syracuse, with her tow, hugged the west- ern side of the river after turning the point. Upon the trial this was clainied by libellants' proctors to be a clerical error, and it was claimed that the intention was to allege that she was hugging the eastern i.ia.e of the river. The libellants' application to amend was reserved till the cause should be heard, with ieave then to ask for the amendment if the proofs should warrant it. The testimony shows that the Syracuse, with her tow, was follow- dug aiiother steara-boat, theCeres, also with a tow, and was rapidly ■overtaking her. The Geres first turned the point at the lamp, and when the Syracuse turned the point as she did, well over towards the western side of the river, and opened this reach of the river, which there ttims nearly west, she had in sight the George A. Hoyt with her tow, stretching along the west bank by Moore's Folly, the Ceres and her tow, heading up for Magazine point, on the opposite bank of the river, a schooner eoming down before the wind, and another<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> i9oydd7y7l5feoj8l6di7jzru36grg7 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/862 104 701294 15135645 8176919 2025-06-14T22:36:38Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: perliaps → perhaps, FBD → FED, FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, POBT → PORT, ORTBB → ORTER, removed: � (8) 15135645 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>848 FEDERAL BSPORTER. A. Hoyt and her tow had then stopped, and made no such aherr across the stern of the other tow. Such a movement would have been wholly uncalled for by the situation in which the George A. Hoyt was, and, being without apparent motive, the evidence from the cii- cumstances of the case greatly strengthens the direct testimony on this point. And the testimony of these witnesses from the S3'racu8e and her tow can, without difiSculty, be reconcHed with the rest of the proofs upon the supposition that the effect which they saw and testi- fied to was eaused by the movement of their own tow instead of that of the tow of the George A. Hoyt. Just before the vessels came tbgether, the pilot of the Syracuse seems to have stopped his engine againsjbut too late to arrest the forward movement of his tow, and it had no tendency to check its swing towards that of the George A. Hoyt, if, indeed, this second stoppage did not aggravate the effect of the westward swing of his tow. The evidence does not warrant the allowance of the amendment of the libel. prayed for. The libel, if amended as proposed, would be contrary to the evidence ia this particular allegation, for upon the proofs the Syracuse did not keep on, or any where near, the eastern bank of the river. The amendment cannot, therefore, be allowed. Nor is it satisfactorily explained how the error in the libel occurred. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that none of the faults charged against the George A. Hoyt are proven, and that on the evi- dence the collision was eaused solely by the reckless and careless navigation of the Syracuse, in keeping on, at full speed, in this nar- row part of the river, and attempting there to pass the Geres, whUe the river was so obstructed by the George A. Hoyt and her tow, and the two schooners and the Geres and her tow, that this manoeuver could not there be safely or prudently accomplished or attempted without serious risk of collision with one or another of those vessels. It is suggested in argument that tiie George A. Hoyt was not stopped soon enough. This is not charged in the libel as a fault against her. It is, perhaps, inconsistent with the libel. But it is not sustained by the evidence. The proof is that she stopped promptly on the first appearance of danger.

If you find these matters for the plaintiff, a third question for your consideration ia whether defendant Boaro, in making iJie location under which defendants claim, went into the slight excavation made by Carroll and there sunk his own discovery shaft, or run bis own eut, making that the basia of defendant's location. If he did so, the plaintiff having then a right to that locality, as before explained, the entry of Boaro was an intrusion into his territory, for which he may maintain this action. But it should appear to you, from the evidence, that Boaro entered at the very place which had been previously taken by Carroll, because, as Carroll's notice failed to specify the territory he wished to take, it could not refer to or embrace any other place than that in which it was planted. Possibly the rule here laid down may be applicable to the case in which a subsequent locator may sink his discovery shaft so near to that of the first locator as to pre- vent further work by the latter in the development of the claim. But it is not neceasary to advert to that matter, for the plaintiff contends tihat Boaro went into the very place where Carroll made his excava- tion and planted his discovery stake, and there made a eut, shaft, or other opening, on which to found his own location. That is the question in issue between the parties, and you should decide it on the evidence. 4. These things being found for the plaintiff, a fourth question for your consideration is whether Carroll, after discovering the Iode, abandoned it. To perfeet their location it was incumbent on the plaintiff and Carroll, as the locators of the claim, to sink a discovery shaft within 60 days after the date of location, and to do the other things required by statute within 90 days from that date. Failing in that, they would have no right whatever to the territory in contro- versy. And although Carroll may have intended to do the neceasary work, and to perfeet the location within the time limited by statute, at the time he set up his stake, if he afterwards abandoned that intention the plaintiff eannot recover. It should appear to you, from the evidence, that the plaintiff and Carroll, at the time the Hawk location was made, and continuously thereafter, held and maintained the purpose and intention to complete the location, and that they were prevented from doing so by the act of Boaro and Hull in taking possession of the place in controversy, and excluding Carroll and the plaintiff therefrom.

Btoekholder before the taxes upon his shares are satisfied, to personal liability for such taxes. What was said in Cummings v. Nat> Bank, 101 U. S. 157, may be repeated bere : " The bank, as a corporation, ia not liable for the tax, and occupies the posi- tion o£ a stakeholder, on whom the cost and trouble of the litigation should not fall.' If it pays, it may be subjected to a separate suit by each stock- holder. If it refuses, it must either withhold dividends and subject itself to litigation by doing so, or refuse to obey the law and subject itself to suit by the State. It holds a trust relation, wluch authorizes a court of equity to see that it is protected in the exercise of the duties appertaining to it. To pre- vent multiplicity of suits, equity may interfere." Passing this preliminai;y point, I corne to the consideration of cer- tain questions arising upon the merits, as to some of which I have had very great difficulty. In People v. Weaver, 100 U. S. 539, it was ruled that the inhibi- tion upon state taxation of national bank shares "at a greater rate than is assessed upon other moneyed capital in the hands of individ- ual citizens," had reference to the entire process of assessment, and prevented as well an unequal valuation of such shares, compared with other moneyed capital, as an unequal rate of percentage thereon. Consequently, a statute Of New York, which prescribed an uniform rate of taxation up'on personal property, but permitted the tax-payer to deduct his just debts firom the aggregate value of his personal property, other than shares of. bank stock, (f rom the value lof . which lat- ter property- no such deduction was allowed,) was held to work an illegal discrimination against moneyed capital invested in such shares. Stich a mode of valuation, the supreme court of the United States held, had the effect to impose greater burdens upon moneyed capital invested' in bank shares than upon other moneyed capital in the hands of individual citizens. In Pelton v. Nat. Bank, 101 U. S. 146, the court said: "It is sufflcient to say that we are quite satisfled that any System of assess- ment of taxes which exacts from the owner of the shares of national bank stock a larger stmi in proportion to their actual value than it does from the owner of other moneyed capital, valued in like manner, does tax them at a greater rate, within the meaning of the act of congress." The fundamental inquiry, therefore, is whether the statute of Indiana prescribes any rule of taxation of- moneyed capital which nec- essarily conflicts, or which, in its application, may confliot, with the act of congress permitting state taxation of national bank shares. In the prosecution of this inquiry I have examined with great care the numerous, and, in some respects, complicated, provisions of the act<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 1heu3usg0uc2cw1qzp0v3q3iey0mubm Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/886 104 701320 15135649 8176946 2025-06-14T22:36:42Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: whieh → which, PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (15) 15135649 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>872 FEDERAL REPORTER. to counsel authorizing a final decree to be entered perpelually enjoin- ing the collection of all taxes assessed upon complainant's shares of stock for the year 1879. Further reflection satisfies me that such a decree wo'uld be erroneous, and that the decree should not be broader than just indicated. Since the case has evidently not been prepared or defended upon the theory that the proof Bhould show the condition of each shareholder as to indebtedness at the time the assessment and valuation in question ■were made, the parties should have a fair opportunity to make such proof. The cause must, therefore, go to a master to ascertajn and report the facts. Counsel may prepare the proper order of reference, indicating the opinion of the court as far as herein disdosed. There are many details connected with the convenience of counsel which should be considered in framing the order, I leave counsel to agree upon such details. If they cannot do so, I will receive from each side a draft of an order, and will adopt and have entered that one which meets my approval. United States v. Eankin. {Circuit Court, E. D. Missouri. October 7, 1881.) 1. Legacy Tax — Bbquest of an Alibn Nou-Bestoent to Alien Non-Rbsi- DBNTS FOK LiPE, wiTH Remaindeb TO Residents akd Nost-Rebidents op THE United Stateb— Acts of Congbess Consthubd — Efpeot of Repeal- ING ACT OF JULY 14, 1870. An alien non-resident died in Ireland, July 18, 1870. By her will she be- queathed property, situated partly in Ireland and partly in Missouri, to A, and B., who were also alien non-reoidenta, for the lifeof A., with remainder to alien non-residents and two resident citizens of the United States. Her will was probated in Ireland, and ancillary letters of administration were granted in Missouri, November 2, 1870. On October 13, 1877, A. and B. conveyed their interests to the remainder-men. At the time of the conveyance, the portion of the estate situate in Missouri was still in the American executor's hands. Suit being brouglit to recover a legacy tax upon the estate in his hands, it was hdd that, under the acts of congress prier to the repealing act of 1870, the taxes would not have accrued, if at all, until the beneflciaries entered into possession or enjoyment of the property, and that as said legatees did not enter into pos- session or enjoyment of their legacies before 1877, the property then in said executor's hands was exempted by the repealing act of 1870 from the legacy tax imposed by the varions prier acts. Whether or not the interests derived by either the foreign or American lega- tees as remainder-men were, under the facts stated, subject to a legacy tax, giiœre. This is an action of debt for legacy tax. The facts, as set forth in the petition, are as follows:<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 21u0uh2o3syeajw0ubs1um7vut5sbzp Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/888 104 701322 15135650 14627208 2025-06-14T22:36:43Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EPORTEE. → EPORTER., BEPORT → REPORT, BAL RE → RAL RE, removed: � (9) 15135650 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>874 PaDERAL REPORTER. foreign wills. The United States contendsthat the clause of the statute above quoted should be interpreted to mean that any legacy under a will, wherever made, is Subject to a legacy tax, if the legacy enures to the benefit of an American citizen, and he receives the same; and that, the other woids, "or by the intestate laws of any state or territory," are not restrictive as to wills. There is no ade- quate reason, it is urged, why an American citizen, receiving a legacy through a foreign -will, should bot paya legacy tax when he would be subject thereto if the legacy was through a domestic will. To this argument may be suggested that the same reason would prevail with respect to the intestate estates. The law of the domicile prevails as to personalty, whether the decedent is testate or intestate; yet the same clause of the statute limits the liability of the executer, in cases of intestacy, to the transmission of property by the laws of the state or territory. Why ahould not property, passing by laws of descent in a foreign country tb an American citizen, be subject to tax as well as if passing by will? Is there, in the language of the statute, any dis- tinction to be drawn between a foreign legacy and a foreign distribu- tion of an intestate estate, or are the terms used in the same sen- tence to be interpreted as bovering the same giroiliid ? There are other provisions bf the statute that shed light'bn tiie subject. The executer was required to makeh'is returns and pay the tax to the oollector of the district wher'e the decedent resided. The decedent in this case resided in Ireland, and never was in the United States. Consequently, the executor's returp and payment conld not be made in accordanee with law to any United States collector. Without expressly passing upon this point, ibut intimating merely that the statute. does not cover a case like the present, it is important to consider the effect of the repealing act of July 14, 1870. That act repealed the succession and legacy taxes, with thi-s saving proyiso— r "ihat all the provisions of said [repealed] acts shall continue in full force for levying and collecting all taxes properly ^vssessed, m liable to ^be assessed, or aceriiing under the provisions of, the fprnier acts,-ojr drawbacks, the right to which bas already accrued, or which may hereaf ter accrue, under said act^," etc. Without ente'ring upon the nice distinctions between successions and legacies, it niust suffice that the, taxes chargeable were, und.er the statutes, due and, payable when the beneficiary entered into the posr session or enjoyment of the property, and not before. It is obvious that the.valueof the succession or legacy ooiild not be determined until the right pf possession aecrued.

Section 4785 simply authorized the commissioner of pensions to allow a fee of not exceeding $25 for prosecuting a claim. Not satis- fied with this provision for the protection of pensioners, congress, by the aot of 1878, declared that it should be unlawful for any agent or attorney to charge for his services in a single case more than $10, and repealed section 4785. It can hardly be doubted that it. was the desire of this statute to protect pensioners rather than claim agents and attorneys, and to give effect to this design the statute must be enforced as a substitute for section 4785. Why did con- gress by this act declare that it should be unlawful for the agent or attorney to demand or receive more than $10 for his services in any one case, and affii no penalty for its violation? Clearly, I think, because it was understood that the punishment provided in section 5485 was invforce and applicable. If it had been the intention of congress, while thus legislating in the interest of pensioners, to re- lieve agents and attorneys from criminal liability for demanding or ieceiving compensation in violation of law, that intention would have been manifested by an express repeal of section 5485, or that portioii of it which prescribed punishment for demanding or receiving fees in violation of law, as \yell as section 4785. It is true that section 5485 declares that the agent or attorney flhall not demiand or receive a greater compensation "than is pro- vided in the title pertaining to pensions ;" but the fair meaning of that is, I think, that no greater compensation shall be demanded Cir re- coived than is provided by law. In the general appiropriation act, approved March 3, 1881, the fol- lowing was inserted: "And the provision of section 5485 of the Revised Statutes shall be applicable to any person who shall violate the provisions of ari act entitled 'An act relating to olaitn' agents and attorneys in pension cases,' approved June 20, 1878." ■ After the passage of the act of 1878 conflicting views were entertained as to tthether there was any peiialty foV demanding or receiVing compen- sation in violation of law for prosecuting pension daims, and the clause just quoted 'was inserted in the appropriation act to remove that uncertainty. • .

APPBOPRIATBD LaNDS — SuiiSEQtJBNT LaWS. A tract of land lawf ully appropriated to any purpose becomes thereaf ter sev- ered from the mass of public lands, and no subsequent law or proclamation will be construed to embrace it, or to operate upon it. Although no exception is made, congress cannot be supposed to include it by a law general in its terms. This doctrine applies with more force to Indian than to military reser- vations. 11, Indians' Titles— When Devbsted. As soon as Indians part with their title the land ceases to be Indian country without any further act of congress, unless, by the treaty by which the Indians- part^ imthiheir title, or by tome aet of congres» or tome executive arder ofithe president, a different ruk was made applicable. This is a civil suit, in the nature of an action of debt, to recover.from defendant a penalty of $1,000, for having violated the law of the United States by being in the Indian country oontrajy to said law. The complaint charges that the defendant heretofore, to-wit, on the flfth day of September, A. D. 1879, being in the Indian country contrary to law, was removed by the mili- tary forces of the United States, and that afterwards, to-wit, on the tenth day of August, A. D. 1880, he, the said defendant, did return to said Indian country, and was found therein, contrary to the fonn of the statute'ih snch case made and provided.' For this reason plaintifE claims an action hath accrued against the defendant. The defendant files his amended answer, in which he denies that he owes and is indebted to the plaintiflt in the sum pf $1,000, or {iny other sum, in manner andform as stated in the complaint. He denies that on the third day of May, 1880, or the tenth day of August of that year, or at any other time, he was in the Indian country, or any part thereof. He denies that he was at any time removed from the Indian country, or any part therepf. Defendant further claims that by a treaty entered intobetween the United States and the Seminole tribe of Indians, on March 21, 1866, they sold to the United States a large tract of land then owned by said tribe in the country known as the Indian Territory, situated between the Canadian river and the North Fork of the Canadian river, and between the ninety-seventh and ninety-eighth degrees of west longitude; that said lands have ever since been, and are now, the property of the United States by an absolute and perfect title in fee-simple, and that they are a part of the public domain of the United States ; that there is no Indian nation or tribe that has any title or right to any part of the same, or any occupancy or possession thereof. Defendant further answers that he made a settlement on section 14, in town- ship 11 north, of range 3 west of the Indian meridian, under the pre-emption and homestead laws enacted by the congress of the United States ; that said sec- tion is a part of the land sopurchased and acquired by the United States from the Seminole Indians, and that it is situated within 40 miles of the line of the<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> mgx8fsyaesh4g53pgbwsfkgmivwyeko Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/912 104 701347 15135653 8176973 2025-06-14T22:36:46Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: tp → to , AIi → AL , TEB. → TER., EBPO → REPO, OBTER → ORTER, DEEAL → DERAL, removed: � (11) 15135653 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>898 FEDERAL REPORTER.

National banks are organized under the laws of the United States ; their bills are issued to them by the treasury department of the United States, secured by bonds of the United States on deposit thei?e, which fact is to be expfeoscd on their face by the signatures of the treasurer and register, and the seal of the treasury of the United States.

Eey. St. § 5413. Whether the state court had jurisdiction over this offence or not depends on ■whether congress bas excluded that jurisdiction or left it to those courts under the laws of the states. The judiciary act of 1789 provided, section 11,— "That the circuit courts shall have * * * exclusive cognizance of all crimes and offences cognizable under the authority of the United States, ex- cept where this act otherwise provides, or the laws of the United States shall otherwise direct. * * *" 1 St. at Large, 78. By the act of April 21, 1806, provision was made for punishing counterfeiting of the coin of the United States, and by that of Feb- ruary 24, 1807, for that of forging notes of the bank of the United States, and by that of March 3, 1825, for that of forging certificates of public stocks or other securities 6i the United States, counterfeit- ing coin of the United States and other i coun tries, and passing eounterfeit coin. Section 26 of the act of 1825 provides, as similar sections in each of the other acts had donej that nothing in this act contained shall be construed to deprive the courts of the individual states of jurisdiction under the laws of the several states over offences made punishable by this act. 4 St. at Large, 122. This provision expressly left to the states jurisdiction of the partic- ular offences mentioned in those acts, the same as if congress had never exercised its power to punish them.

" The jurisdiction vested in the courts of the United States, in the rases and proceedings hereinafter mentioned, shall be exclusive of the courts of the several States : First. Of all crimes and offences cognizable under the author- ity of the United States." This provision was net in the statutes of the United States any- where before. It was framed ex industria, and placed there for some purpose. It is not merely the provision of the judiciary act relating to the juriadiction of the circuit courts brought forward and placed here, as well as in the chapter relating to those courts, to ex- press the same thing again in another connection; but it is a different thing. That provision made the jurisdiction of the circuit courts exclusive, of all other courts, federal as well as state, exeept as other- ■wise provided, This applies to all the courts of the United States, and expressly excludes, , and seems to be made expressly to ex- clude, the jurisdiction of the courts of the states. Both provis- ions are necessary to place the jurisdiction in these cases where it is reposed, among the federal coui-ts, and exclude that of the state courts, and the latterwould be unnecessary if that of the state courts was not to be excluded. The language of the section quoted from the title on "Crimes" does not save the jurisdiction of tue courts of the states over the offences made punishable by that title, as section 26 of the act of 1825 savcd it o^'er offences made punishable by that act. It says nothing of offences, as sueh, to express or specify its application. There are many offences made punishable by that title, — some of them such as could never be offences against the laws of any of the states; some, such as the obstructing the executive officers in the performance of their duties, and the service of the processes of the courts of the United States, where the same act might oonstitute one offence against the laws of the United States, and another different offence against the laws of the states. This section of the title is general, and might be applicable to all these if taken in its broadest sense. It might be, or be claimed to be, that making any act punishable under the laws of congress would prevent the states from punishing a dif- ferent offence involved in the same act.

Corresponding parts are pivoted together, and will fold together in a like way, and by an identical mode of operation, in the defendant's chair. The piece, D, in the defendants' chair, which extends from the front cross round, J, at the forward end of that piece, to the upper part of the back leg, E, to which it is jointed by the working joint. M, corresponds to the side rail of the seat, D, in the piaintiffs' chair, which extends from the front cross-piece at the for- ward end of such side rail to the upper part of the back leg, C, to which it is jointed at g. In the defendant's, the piece, D, is, at a point in it intermediate between the front cross round, J, and the back leg, C, pivoted to the front leg, E, by the working joint, G, at a point intermediate between the top and the bottom of such front leg. In the piaintiffs', the side rail of the seat, D, is, at a point in it interme- diate between the front cross piece at its forward end and the back leg, C, jointed to the front leg, B, at /, which is a point inter- mediate between the top and the bottom of such front leg. In the defendant's, when the pieces, D, are raised towards the back of the chair, the upper ends of the back legs, E, are thrown down, and the lower ends of such back legs are thrown up, and the pieces, D, the back, A, the front legs, C, and the back legs, E, are thus folded together. The specification of the defendant's patent says that "the chair is folded by raising up the seat and pulling up the rockers." The rais- ing up of the seat is effected by raising up the piece, D, towards the back of the chair. Eaising up the piece, D, in the defendant's, and the side rail of the seat in the plaintiff 's, effedts the folding to an equal extent. It does not avoid infringement of claim 1 that the defendant changes the direction of the piece, D, so as to form a greater forward angle with the direction of the back leg, when the chair is fully un- folded, than the angle formed in like case by the side rail of the piaintiffs' seat, with the direction of his back leg, or that the place of sitting in the defendant's, instead of being at the same angle as the angle of the pieces, D, (as the piaintiffs' place of sitting is at the same angle as the side rails of his seat, D,) is made to be at a proper level or angle, by stretching a flexible seat from the front cross round, J, to the round I, which latter round is elevated above the jointing places, G and M. Ail the opinions as to non-infringement, expressed by witnesses for the defendant, are based on an erroneous view of the plaintiff's patent, and on the idea that because the piaintiffs' patent speaks of the seat, D, as pivoted, and its side rails are pivoted, and<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> czim5rxr7y6p01gnlqcio4p2xg9mwu8 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/930 104 701365 15135656 8176992 2025-06-14T22:36:49Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: atfect → affect, PBD → FED, POBTER → PORTER, removed: � (8) 15135656 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>916 FEDBEAL SBPORTER. disabled from business, and that up to his death, and since, he bas had the entire care of their business, and in great part of his estate, and it was impossible for him to give the time and pains necessary for proeeedings against the defendant. It is shown that the plain- tiffs retained counsel in the early part of 1880, and sued the defend- ant on the patent, in New York city, in July, 1880, and moved for an injonction against him in November, 1880, but the suit was with- drawn because of a technical defect. The l>ill in this suit was filed in September, 1880, and the subpœna was served December 6, 1880. This motion was notieed for March 16, 1881, having been delayed because of business engagements of the plaintiffs' counsel. The foregoing facts are not contested. The defendant shows that he began making chairs, such as his pat- ent describes, in September, 1878, and applied for his patent June 21, 1879; that in September, 1879, he completed a building for the business, costing, with the land and the proper machinery, $12,000, and employs about 50 men at Cortland Village, New York, and that he is worth $25,000. What the defendant so did in respect to his new building was done after notice from the plaintiffs. Mere forbear- ance to sue, under the circumstances stated, after the notice given, cannot, in the absence of any affirmative encouragement to the de- fendant, be held to affect the plaintiffs' right to a preliminary injunc- tion, in such a plain case as this is. The plaintiffs show a case of aoquiescence by the public sufiScient to sustain a preliminary injunction. The defendant states generally that chairs claimed to infringe the plaintiffs' patent have been made, sold, and used in hostility to their right, "and, among others, by the Eureka Manufacturing Company, of Sterling, Illinois, who have made, Bold, and advertised the said chair extensively without let or hindrance from the complainants." No chair made or sold or advertised by the company named is produced; no advertisement is produced; what kind of chair is the one referred to, or what is meant by "the said chair," is not shown; there is no specifie affidavit from which the court can see that the conclusion drawn is correct ; and the statement is a statement of only a conclusion, and not of a fact which can be judicially considered. The other affidavits are even more general. The case is a clear one, and one of irreparable damage to the plaintiffs, and not one where there would be as much probability of doing irreparable mischief as of preventing it by granting the injunc- tion. The motion is granted.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> kjg87fsn1qfvdg5edanww2aetpp563b Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/938 104 701373 15135657 12301774 2025-06-14T22:36:50Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: AIi → AL , EEPO → REPO, POBTER → PORTER, DEEAL → DERAL 15135657 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>924 FEDERAL REPORTER. domestic vessel, of the port of Baltimore. Two different claitrianta appeared, asserting ownership of the vessel, and several petitioners liave appeared claiming to have liens for repairs to the vessel under the state lien law. The schooner is one of the olass of vessels used for dredging oys- ters in the Chesapeake bay, and on November 10, 1880, the seamen shipped on her as oystermen and sailors for the pnrpose of taking oysters in the Chesapeake bay — some of them by the month and some by the trip. On the fourteenth of November the master and crew and the schooner were taken into custody by the state oyster police, and carried into Annapolis, charged with dredging for oysters with- out a license, in violation of the state law. The master and crew were trieH before a justice of the peace, found guilty, and fined. At the expiration of 20 days, the fine and costs not having been paid, the vessel, which had been held in custody from the time of seizure, was adjudged forfeited, and the justice ordered that the sheriff of the county should sell her, after having given 20 days' notice. In pursuance of the decree of the justice the sheriff sold the ves- sel at public auction, after notice, on December 27th, when she was purchased by the claimant Saunders, to whom she was delivered, and in whose possession she was found by the marshal when taken under the process issued from this court at the instance of the libellants. She is also claimed by Mrs. Alice Thorington, wife of the master in command of her when she started on her dredging trip. Mrs. Thor- ington held the title to the vessel at that time, and she has filed a petitory libel. The authorit}' for the proceedings under which the schooner was seized by the oyster police, forfeited, aud sold, is the act of the assem- bly of Maryland of 1880, c. 198, known as the "Oyster Law," and by these libels and petitions in this court it is sought to question the constitutional validity of that law. The Maryland oyster law of 1880, ■by section 2, provides that no boat shall be used in dredging oysters in the waters of the state of Maryland without first having been licensed, for which a certain rate per ton is to be paid to the state. Section 16 provides that the number of the license shall be displayed on the starboard side of the mainsail, and on the port side of the jib, in black iigures 22 inches long. Section 9 makes it the duty of any sheriff, constable, or ofScer of the state fishing force to arrest any person or persons, and seize any vessel, found violating the provisions of the act, and to bring the offenders before a judge or justice of the<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> cgp3qmxpebiajgrzvri1vm0gx4vrh6f Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 8.djvu/940 104 701375 15135660 8177003 2025-06-14T22:36:52Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: oi the → of the , sherifi → sheriff, TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (14) 15135660 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>«26 PBDKBAL REPORTER. The right of the legislature to give jurisdiotion to justiceB of the peace to impose fines has long been "the law of the land" in Mary- land, and it has been held in her appellate court that actions to recover fines are civil actions, although the penalty for non-payment may be imprisonment. Mace's Case, 5 Md. 337. The right of all governments, notwithstanding similar constitutional prohibitions against taking property of the citizen "but by the law of the land" or "without due process of law," to proceed by summary process of distress or fines or penalties to enforce payment of revenue, ia «laborately discussed and fully sustained by the supreme court in Murray t. Hoboken Land Co. 18 How. 272, In advance of such a construction by the state tribunals, I am net at all prepared to hold that the Maryland legislature is prohibited by her constitution from conferring jurisdiotion upon justices of the peace to try and fine offenders against her revenue laws, or against her laws for the protection of her fisheries. AU possible risk of oppressive abuse would seem to be guarded against in this law of 1880 by the right of appeal to a court sitting with a jury. The next objection urged against the forfeiture and sale of the ves- «el, and against the title of the purchaser to whom she was sold and delivered by the sheriffp, is that there was no notice given to the owner or other persons having interest in her, and that, therefore, the proceeding as against them was void, as being an attempt of the «tate to deprive them of their property "without due process of law," «ontrary to section 1 of the fourteenth amendment of the constitu- tion of the United States. The act of 1880 provides that the state ofBcers shall seize and take into custody the vessel found violating the provisions of the act, and if, upon trial and conviction, the offenders do not pay the fine im- posed upon them within 20 days, then the justice shall direct the Tessel to be sold after 20 days' notice. The supreme court of the United States, in Smith v. Maryland, 18 How. 75, passed upon the validity of the Maryland oyster law of 1833, by which every vessel employed in catching oysters with a dredge was declared forfeittd to the state, with everything on board of her. In that case the vessel belonged to a non-resident of the state, and was condemned by a justice of the peace of Anne Arundel county, and, upon appeal to the circuit court of that county, the judgment had been confirmed. The case, by writ of error to the Anne Arundel county court, was brought before the supreme court, and that court, after sustaining the constitutionality of the state<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> h8bba5xq4xhx0yuhzq5n19wntnc5ed8 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/1 104 701378 15135662 8177011 2025-06-14T22:36:54Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, EEPO → REPO, REPOKT → REPORT, REPORTEE → REPORTER, removed: � (32) 15135662 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>National Reporter System.

The power here given, in order to answer the object in view, cannot be restricted to form, as contradistin- guished from substance, but must be understood as vesting in the courts authority so to frame, mould, and shape the process as to adapt it to the pur- pose intended. The general poliey of all the laws on this subject is very apparent. It was intended to adopt and conform to the state process and proceedings, as the general rule, but under such guards and checks as might be necessary to insure the due exercise of the powers of the courts of the United States. It is said, however, that this is the exercise of legislative power which could not be delegated by congress to the courts of justice. But this objection cannot be sustained. There is no doubt that congress might have legislated more speciflcally on the subject, and declared what property should be subject to executions from the courts of the United States. But it does not follow that because congress might have done this they necessarily must do it, and cannot commit the power to the courts of justice." These authorities well establish the validity of the rule of this court regulating attachments. It is strenuously contended in behaK of the defendant that if this writ was valid its service, which was by copy of the wi'it and return of attachment upon it lodged in the town clerk's office where the land records are kept, without possession, was not, and that it did not create any lien upon the land. If this was strictly a sequestration this point would be well taken; butit is not, although it is called so to someextent. A sequestration is intended to accom- plish its obj'ect by the actual taking of goods and chattels, or the rents and profits of lands, and withholding them until the distress brings compliance with what is then required, and it creates no lien in favor of future judgments or decrees, while an attachment creates such a lien and nothing more. This is in effeot strictly an attachment to create a lien, and is so understood in the laws of the state adopted by the rule. Frenchy. Winsor, 36 Vt. 412. The creation of the lien provided for by the rule includes as well the mode of service as the issuiug of the writ, and adopts the state law for both purposes. Besides, if the writ was valid, and there was no law or rule providing any mode of service, the return upon the process of an attachment of land would be sufficient without any taking possession or entry upon the land by the officer. Taylor v. Mixter, 11 Pick. 341. And this argument would prove too much ; for, if the rules of court did not provide for the service of executions in equity cases, there would be no provision at all for that purpose, nor, in fact, for issuing execu- tions in such cases. Executions are satisfied by levy on land only by appraisal and setting out the land to the creditor under the state<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> jyeac0bhly8euxueq30p9dvq6eynrjq Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/39 104 701416 15135697 8177328 2025-06-14T22:37:28Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PEDEEA → FEDERA, removed: � (10) 15135697 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>24 FEDERAL REPORTER. no other purpose, then they belong to the class of manufactures not otherwise provided for ; that is, they are cotton ties. The court so instructs you upon this point. The defendant has put the converse of that proposition: If the jury find that the hoops and bands of iron are not such a manufac- ture as to be known and distinguished as a manufacture of iron, they should find for the defendant. You are so instructed. The eleventh point presented by the defendant is substantially the same thing : To constitute the material in question a manufacture within the meaning of the act of 1864, the jury must find that it is a completed product ready for the use for which it was designed, with- out any further manipulation or any more work being doue upon it, or any change being made upon it to fit it for that use. That point is answered as follows: To withdraw the article in question from the category of hoop iron, the jury must be satisfied that it has been so manipulated as to change its distinctive char- acter, not as to the material of which it is made, eertainly, because in one sense it is hoop iron ; but whether it is a thing made out of hoop iron, or hoop iron in its original condition, converted into a completed fabric of iron, and thus prepared and ready for some spe- cial use, and so unfitted for economieal employment in the ordinary general use to which hoop iron may be applied without further mechanieal manipulation, is another question. Now, gentlemen, I repeat that, in the judgment of the court, the only material inquiry for you here is whether this article has been subjected to such mechanieal treatment as to fit it completely for the special use for which it was designed; that is, bailing cotton. It is not necessary that it should be put around a cotton baie and fastened to it to make it complete. If it was completely prepared for that use, so that it could be used by the person who wished to put it around cotton baies, and needed no further mechanieal treatment, then it was a completed fabric, and a manufacture within the meaning of the act of congress, and so subject to a less duty than that exacted, and the plaintiff is entitled to recover. That is the simple question ; and as you decide that you decide this case, and find for the plaintiff or the defendant. If you find for the plaintiff and determine that this is a complete article of manufacture, you will assess the damages by allowing to the plaintiff' what is agreed to have been the excess of duty charged by the collector. In the Indiana case the amount is agreed to be<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 54yc8p42u3gh5j1fmg7rkndovdziz9g Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/57 104 701435 15135720 8177521 2025-06-14T22:37:50Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (7) 15135720 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>42 FEDERAL RBPORTER. ble plaintiffs to recorer under it.all its allegations for the purpose of this demurrer being admitted. The petition shows the sale to J. S. Sullivan & Co. to have been made January 15, 1878. The inju- ries eomplained of began January 1, 1880. After this sale to J. S. Sullivan & Co. any person to whom they should grant the right to use the Still tree would be protected thereby, and plaintilis' remedy would be by suit against Sullivan & Co. for the royalty. It follows, therefore, as the plaintiffs show, that J. S. Sullivan & Co. have the right to use their invention and authorize other persons in the United States to use the same ; that in order to make a prima facie case of liability against a person for using the StUl patent it must afiSraia- tively appear that such person is not using, it under the authority or license of J. S. Sullivan & Co. Does the petition show this ? The raie to be applied isthat the pleadinga will be oonstrued most strongly against the pleader. , i It is insisted by defendants that this is.a necessary allegation, and I am of the same opinion; because, if these defendants are working under Sullivan & Co. and using Still's patent, then, of course, the only remedy plaintiffs ean have is by suit against Sullivan; & Co. for their royalty. If defendants are not working under Sullivan & Co. and are infringing plaintiffs patent, then plaintiffs would be enti- tled to their remedy against them; hence the necessity of the alljega- tion that they are not authbrized to use plaintiffs' invention by J. S. Sullivan & Co. It is alleged that they are not using it uud,er authority or by virtue of the contract, between plaintiffs aiid J. S . S ujlivan & Co. ; but that is not alleging that they are not uaing it under or ;by virtue of a contract made t>y defendants, with J. S. Sullivan & Co. The demurrer, therefore, upon this point is sustained. The thirteenth paragraph cannot be relied upon as Connecting the J. S. Sullivan Saddle-tree Company with the J. S. Sullivan & Co. to whom plaintiffs sold, because it states that certain peraons herein- after mentioned. This is inferentially saying that they have not been mentioned before. But suppose it did, and the circular should be regardcd as part of the petition, and that Sullivan & Ccwere in fact the Sullivan Saddle-tree Company. What then foliota? The most that oould be said. would, ,be that the saddle-tree company were authorizing these defendants io use, the Moody tree, and in that event, if the Moody tree is the one inveiited by plaintiffs, then J. S. Sullivan & Co. are responsible to plaintiffs for the royalty, and their remedy is against them ani not against the defendants in this suit.

The pills may be taken oli the comb-barwhile in any suitable holder, after having been formed in otfaer moulds, and I propose to use it in this vvay if found advisable.*' There are two claims, as follows : " (1) The combination of the comb-bar, B, clamp, E, and strippers, H, sub- stantially in the manner described and for the purpose specified; (2) the com- bination of the moulds. A, with the comb-bar, B, substantially as and for the purpose specified." The only claim in question in this suit is the second claim. That claim relates to the combination of the comb-bar, carrying the needles, with the pill-holder, substantially as and for the purpose described. The pill-holder is to have a number of cavities, so as to secure rapid work. There are to be as many needles as there are cavities. The manner of the combination is to have a groove extending from each cavity whenffie twb parts forming the holder are closed, so that the needle may pass through the groove into the pill, and the pill be retained on and removed with the needle when the two parts of the holder are separated, so that the pills on all the needles may be re- mdved at once and be dipped, on the needles, all at once, into the ebating solution. That is the purpose specified. The resuit of this rapid work is a greater number of pills created in a given time, and IhuB a reduction of cost. It is objected that the specification states that the pills are to be formed in "a mould, A," and that the needle is to be thrust into the pill while the pill is in the mould in which it is formed, and that the defendant does not form his pills in bis pil^-holder; also that "the moulds. A, mentioned in the second claim, are limited to moulds in which the pills are formed, and cannot include as holders, recep- tacles in which the pills are not formed or made or moulded from the raw material. But this view is contrary to the tenor of the text of the specification, which states that the invention consists in com- bining the comb-bar carryitig the needles with "a moulding device for shaping pills, or other holder for them," and that "the pills may be taken on the comb-bar while in any suitable holder, after having been formed in other moulds." That being so, the expression, "the moulds, Ay" in the second claim, muat be held to mean any suitable holder of the pills, whether the pills aie formed in it or in another mould.

But if the evidence shows that the vessel was free from all circum- stances of danger, present or apprehended; that ordinary towage serv- ice, at ordinary rates, could have been shortjy obtained, so that salvage compensation could not be presumed to have been intended; and that the towage was rendered for no other purpose than to expedite the completion of the voyage, — the service will be deemed to be a towage service only. The Emily B. Souder, 15 Blatchf, 550. Had the Colon, in this instance, been in no apprehension of danger ; had she been able, in the judgment of her master, to con- tinue her voyage under sail without any reasonable fear of hazard beyond the ordinary perils of navigation, as in the case last cited, — no reason appears why he should not have continued on his voyage, instead of interrupting. it and proceeding to Fortune islaud for re- pairs. Nor would the master of the Pomona, under these circum- stances, have been justified in going back upon his course, involving a delay of nearly a day in his own voyage. That was a plain deviation, involving, presumably, a violation of the vessel 's con- tracts with every one of its seamen, insurers, and freighters. By the maritime law the master bas an implied disoretionary authority to make such deviations in the interest of commerce and humanity, in order to save endangered life or property. The Centurion, Ware, 490^; The Hooper, 3 Sumn. 542, 579. In the award of salvage com- pensation, account is taken of the increased obligations resulting from such deviations. But I have not been referred to any authority, nor do I find any, holding that it is within the lawful discretion of a master to make such a deviation from his own voyage as was made in this case, merely for the eonvenience of another vessel, or simply to expedite its progress, in the absence of all circumstances of danger. Ordinarily, deviations of that character would be plainly opposed to tho interests of commerce, and deserve censure rather than reward. It is not to be presumed, therefore, that such a departure from the voyage of the Pomona was eitherasked for or assented to, except upon the ground that the Colon was in actual need of assistance, through circumstances of apprehended danger, and that some salvage compensation was expected to be paid. The Colon, at the time this assistance was rendered, was not, like the Emily B. Souder, in the same condition as to her motive power in which she was when she left her last port; nor did she seek merely to expedite her voyage, but to get to safe anchorage as speedily as possible for repairs. The nearest safe anchorage was 57 miles distant, and she was nearlv<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 3bzhkvkrdhyj2u6834a5o1lgc5y5yl3 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/75 104 701453 15135747 8177720 2025-06-14T22:38:32Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, FEDEK → FEDER, EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, TEB. → TER., removed: � (7) 15135747 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>60 FEDERAL REPORTER. adjudging the owner's compensation alone, and not providing for the officers or crew; nor could it be claimed that the latter eould in such a case demand contribution frona the owner instead of proceeding upon their own libel. An award and settlement thereon of the own- er's separate interest are equally effectuai ; and as no action or inac- tion of the libellants was induced by the former suit, and their rem- edies remain unimpaired, I do not perceive any ground for the claim of estoppel. The mere filing of a libel "in behalf of all entitled" does not increase the owner's legal authority, or of itself create any trust for other co-salTors, nor impose any additional obligations on the libellant in their behalf; it does not make others actual parties to the suit, nor prevent their filing supplementary libels of their own. If they desire, they may be allowed to come in on petition; but if they do not do 80, and the court should, from any cause, have entered a decree for the separate interest of some and not of all the co-salvors, the others mny still assert their separate remedies. The Aletheia, 13 Weekly Eep. 279. To avoid multiplicity of actions the better prac- tice is for all co-salvors to join in one action, (The Boston, 1 Sumn. 328 ; The Edward Howard, Newby, 522 ;) and the court would doubtless withhold costs in all unnecessary proceedings. And in a libel by one co-salvor it usually, for its own convenience as well as for the eonven- ienoe of others, enters a decree making provision for all. But this does not affect the several and independent legal rights of co-salvors among themselves, -or their right to make separate settlements of their own interests after suit commenced, though nominally for the benefit of all others interested, so long as no others have beeome actual parties. Such is the established rule in equity. In suits for the adminis- tration of assets it is not uncommon for several actions to be brought by different creditors, all for the same common object, and each for the benefit of all others interested. These may all proeeed until a hearing in some one of them, when a decree will be made for the ben- efit of all. Until decree every such suit is entirely in the control of the actual parties to it, and may be settled at their own pleasure, without reference to others. Ross v. Crary, 1 Paige, 416; Handford V.

The counsel have suggested some instructions, gentlemen, which I, probably, have anticipated in part, but I will refer to them. And first, on behalf of the plaintiff, I was asked to say to you as follows: "The jury is instructed that the words, 'as soon as possible,' uscd in this contract, are to be here construed in the ordinary, reasonable sense in which such expressions are used in business. They are to be understood in the light of all the circumstances under which the contract was made, and with refer- ence to the course of trade in shipping iron from Glasgow." This clause did not make it obligatory upon the plaintiffs to do everything which was possible as a physical act, if such act lay beyond what shippers of iron might reasonably be expeeted to do. So far as the obligation of this clause of the contract is concerned it is sufficient if the jury find that plaintiffs diligently made every reasonable effort, in the usual course of commerce, to effect the prompt shipment of the iron. That, I think, is a correct statement of the ruie, and substantially what I have already stated to you. Plaintiffs also request me to say to you as follows : " The court instructs the jury that, under the contract sued upon, 't was the right, if not the duty, of the plaintiffs to cause the iron designated therein to be shipped to New Orleans as soon after the contract was made as they could do 80 by exercising all proper and reasonable diligence and judgment. " If the jury find that it was impossible for plaintiffs to obtain a vessel from Glasgow, and that it was practicable to obtain oue from Leith, and that ship- ment from Leith was a more expeditions way of getting the iron to New Orleans than waiting for a vessel from Glasgow would have been, then plain- tiffs were justified in shipping the iron from Leith instead of Glasgow." That is given as requested. The defendant's counsel requests the court to instruct as follows : " The jury are instructed that the contract sued on was an entire contract for the entire quantity of 500 tons of pig-iron of the description and grade mentioned in the contract, and the defendant was not bound to receive any of said iron unless the entire quantity so contracted for did in fact answer to the description called for by the contract." Of course, gentlemen, under this contract the defendant was not bound to accept any part of the 500 tons unless the whole was tend- ered him. I do not, myself, remember any testimony tending to show that a smaller part was tendered. Mr. Hitchcock. No, there is no dispute as to that; it is not as to how much was tendered. Jvclge McCrary.

After bankruptcy no further proceedings at law, such as reeovery of judgment and return of execution unsatisfied, are, on principle, necessary to sustain an action to reach equitable assets, for there is no fund or property of the debtor which can, by any possibility, be made available upon execution. When all remedy at law is ex- hausted, the right to equitable relief arises. But by the assignment in bankruptcy all remedy of the creditor at law is ipso facto exhausted. AU the debtor's property is thereupon vested by law in the assignee, and no subsequent judgment or execution can touch it. To procure judgment and execution to be returned thereon, even if not stayed by law, would be mere idle ceremonies. The situation is analogous to that of the estate of deceased persons, where the debtor's property is by law distributable to creditors pro rata, and not subject to any lien upon an after-acquired judgment. In such cases it bas long been settled that a creditor at large may maintain a suit in equity to reach assets fraudulently disposed of by the deceased debtor without the ordinary prerequisites of judgment and execution returned unsatis- fied, which in such cases would be wholly useless and unmeaning. Story, Eq. PI. § 514; Loomis v. Tifft, 16 Barb. 5el; Alsager v. Bowley, 6 Ves. 748; Doran v. Simpson, 4 Ves. 651. By section 5046 of the Revised Statutes, moreover, "all the property conveyed by the bank- rupt in fraud of his creditors is vested in his assignee." This lan- guage is not to be limited to technical conveyances of real estate, but is, I think, intended to embrace every species of property or means of the debtor transferred or disposed of by him in any manner which by the law of the time and place of the transaction is fraudulent as to creditors. It includes moneys of the debtor paid for property con- veyed to his wife by his procurement, or improvements made by him upon her lots, whenever either is in fraud of creditors. AU such property thus vested in the assignee he must have the legal right to recover by any appropriate legal proceeding, so long as, and to the same extent to which, the creditors defrauded might, but for the bank- ruptcy, have entitled themselves to recover it.

One machine is constructed to compel the juice to pass through the bed ; the other to render it im- possible for the juice to take that course. It has been contended in behalf of the plaintiff that the spaces which appear in the defend- ants' machine between the edge of the bed and the rim of the concen- trator are perforations in the bed, within the meaning of the plain- tiff's patent. But the word "perforation" conveys the idea of a hole through an article, and cannot, with propriety, be held to describe a space between two articles such as in the defendant's machine is left between the bed and the concentrator, To so read the plaintiff's patent would be to enlarge its soope by giving a strained interpreta- tion to the language employed. But it is again contended, in behalf of the plaintiff, that the use iu defendant's machine of a bed for the lemon to rest on, located insid.» of the concentrator, with a space between the edge of the bed and th'fl rim of the concentrator, is but the employment by the defendant cf equivalent meehanism to accomplish the same resuit, and for that reason he must be held to infringe. In one sense the resuit is tb e same ; that is to say, iu both the machines the juice is squeezed ont of the lemon and caught in a concentrator. But in one the juice is forced by the action of the presser directly through the bed to the concentrator below by means of perforations in the bed. In the other a different direction is given to the juice. It is forced to the edges of the bed, where, by force of gravity, it passes around the edge of the bed and then to the concentrator below. This change in combination is substantial, and not merely colorable, as appears by testimony introduced by the plaintiff, and also by testimony intro- duced by the defendant. The plaintiff's witness Frank Stone who used the defendants' machine for some two weeks, squeezing about 300 lemons a day, sold that machine and bought one of the plaintiff's, because, as I under- stand the witness, the plaintiff's machine does not choke up so fast, nor require such frequent eleansing, as the defendants'. The defend- ants' witness Hall finds from actual experiment that the perforations in the bed of the plaintiff's machine render it more liable to clog than the defendants' machine, and more difficult to clean. Thus both sides, while they differ as to which machine is the better, agree that the machines perf orm the work differently. If the f act be, as both sides prove, that a difference exists between the operation of the two machines in respect to the liability to clog, and in the ease with which the machine can be kept clean, and if, as the plaintiff shows, this<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> m1f8i03s7exlroy4mcnmn5scw516qat Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/143 104 701523 15135666 8177060 2025-06-14T22:36:58Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, FEDBB → FEDER, EEPO → REPO, REPOB → REPOR, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (14) 15135666 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>128 FEDERAL REPORTER. After the collision the mizzen-mast of the bark was all of her above water, atid this was distinctly seen from the steamer when she was at the distanca of 600 yards from it. (8) The damages caused by the collision vvere assessed at $50,248.23. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW. The following conclusions are fairly deducible from the evidence and the f acts f ound : (1) That the vessels were approaching each other from opposite directions, npon lines so close to each other as to involve the necessity of a deflection by one or the other of them to avoid a collision. (2) ihat the lookout on the bark saw the steamer when she was nearly a mile distant, and she was held steadily on her course, and that she thereby ful- filled her legal obligation. Even if her helm was ported it was at a time and nnder circumstances which did not involve any culpability on her part. (3) That it was the duty of the steamer to keep out of the way of the bark, and, to that end, so to change her course as to preclude all danger of col- lision. (4) That the bark could and ought to have been seen by the steamer when they were sufflciently distant from each other to enable the steamer to give the bark enough sea-roora to avert any risk of collision. In this failure to observe the bark the steamer was negligent. (5) No satisfactory or sufflcient reason is furnished by the respondent's evidence for this failure of observation. If it resulted from the inattention of the steamer's lookout, or because their vision was intercepted by her fore try-sail, she was clearly culpable. If it is explicable by the condition of the atmosphere, no matter by what cause it was produced, it was the steamer's duty to reduce her speed, and to place a lookout on her turtle-back. An omis- sion to observe these precautions was negligence. But, considering the proof that the bark held her course, and that the steamer might have seen her by proper vigilance, when suitable precaution against collision might have been taken, a mere speculative explanation of the steamer's presumptive culpability cannot be accepted as sufficient. I do not deem it necessary to enforce these conclusions by extended argument, The whole case is so clearly and satisfactorily treated by the learned judge of the district court that I adopt his opinion, and affirm the decree entered by him.

This entails a liability dehors the con- tract. It makes the carrier an insurer or guarantor of Etrangers to the contraet against loss incurred by a use of the instrument in which the carrier has no interest, and binds him to a liability for which he is not paid; for the comparatively small sum he receivea as compen- sation for carriagewill not, and is never intended to, cover or insure him against loss incurred by such a liability as that. The considera- tion he recoives is not commensurate with the liability sought to be imposed, and if it is determined to exist carriers must necessarily add to the freight a sum sufficient to indemnify them, as insurance com- paniea are ; and this for the protection of outside parties dealing in matters not pertaining to the carriage of the gooda. Moreover, it obstructs the carrier in his proper business, and entails upon him the selection of agents possessing not only the ordinary mental and moral qualifications essential to the receiving, handling, and carriage of merchandise, but those having the relatively higher qualifications required of bank cashiers or other agents entrusted with the duty of issuing, signing, and handling bank notes, negotiable bonds, or like seeurities. It does not seem to me in the interest of commerce to compel carriers either to so increase the rates of compensation or to confine them to the selection of agents as banks and trust companiea are oonfined. And these considerations cannot be overlooked or overborne by the supposed benefits of having the commercial world supplied with an assurance against inconvenience in their dealings, not with the; car- rier, but each other. To illustrate by this case, it is plain that the Bank of Madison, when it discounted the draft and took the bill of lading, could have known, being in the same town, by sendingames- senger to the agent, depot, or warehouse of the company, that this was a false bill of lading. So, although these plaintiffs in New York could not so readily have ascertained that fact, they could have pro- tected themselves by refusing toaccept thedraftsuntil the cotton had arrived, or until by telegraph they had assured themselves of the existence of the cotton. 16 Am.

It is true that if: Patterson & Co. had been adjudged bankrupts within three months after the transfer of this note, their assignees in bankruptcy could have attacked this transfer as a prefer- ence contrary to the express provisions of the bankrupt law then in force, and perhaps set it aside. But the provisions of the bankrupt lOsW,. prohibiting, preferential payments and conveyances, Was not invokied in apt time, and this transaction is to be considered as if no bankrupt law had ever existed. Complainants have cited a large number of decisions by the Iowa courts upon the statute of that- state regulating assignments mth preferences, ; and insist that as the statute of Illinois, in regard to *oluntary assignments, approved May 22, 1877, was substantially tiopied frbm the iowa statute, these decisions should be dofemed eon- trolling. There Would seem to be no doubt that the doctrine bf those c^ses, is that if an insolvent debtor makes several preferential pay- meitts to creditprs, or conveyances of property in p3,ynient of debts, in such sequence to each other, and to an assignment in trust for the tenefit of creditors, that they are all to be deemed as essentially one transaction, the preference will be sei aside as being in violation of the spirit of these statutes. Lampson v. Arnold, 19 Iowa, 480. And in this class of cases it bas been held that the voluntary assignee can set aside the preference and recover the property transferred or -money paid. These authorities only go to the point that if the trans- fer of this note to defendant was so intimately related to the assign- ment to Champion that they could be held to be one transaction. Champion could have held the note as against defendant. But when this court set the assignaient to Champion aside, it did not place plaintiffs in his shoes as against defendant; that is, it doea not fol- low, because Champion might have attacked this transfer as a prefer- ence, that, therefore, the plaintiffs can do so. They do not succeed to his rights of action under the Illinois statute, if he had any, but must rest upon. their rights upder the bankrupt law, This, then, being at most only a preferential payment, made more than three inonths before bankruptcy, cannot be set aside in favor of plaintiffs.

Cwrtis Tilton and Henry Flanders, for appellants. Thomas Hart, Jr., and J. Warren Goulston, for appellees. MoKennan, C. J. Finding of faets by the court : (1) On the evening of the aixteenth of May, 1877, a little before 9 o'clock, a collision occurred between the scUooner Marietta iillon, of which the libel- lants were owners, and the steamer Harrisburgh, which resulted in the entire loss of the schooner and her cargo, and in the drowning of six of-her crew, — all but two of those who were aboard of her. (2) The place where the collision occurred was within 100 yards of Cross Rip light-ship, off the coast of Massachusetts. (3) The night was unusually clear, the moon shining in her flrst quarter, and objecta were distinctly visible at a long distance, the vessels havlng actually sighted each other when they were about four miles apart. (4) At the point where the collision occurred the channel was nearly a mile wide, the light-ship being on the southern border of it, and there being a suf- flcient depth of water for the passage of the steamer in any part of it. (5) The steam-ship was pursuing a westwardly course, heading for the light- ship upon a straight line which wbuld pass slightly north of it ; or, in the language of the mate, "I ported my bow and headed my ship for the light- ship, keeping the light a little on my port bow." This course she maintained without any deviation or reduction of her speed. (6) The schooner was sailing eastwardly, and when she was flrst seen by the steamer her position was cohsiderably (not less than a half mile) horth of the line of the steamer's progiress, and so north-westward of the light-ship. When the vessels were at a safe distance apart the schooner lufied a little to the windward, and thence, sailing on the wind, which was from the South- west, she pursued a course directly towards the light-ship, upon a line which was oblique to that of the steamer's course, exposlng her port light to the steamer. This was the course laid down in the sailing directions for vessels bound eastward, and she kept it steadily. (7) The courses of the vessels thus converglng to the light-ship, they must necessarily have moved upon interseeting lines. (8) When they were within three or four hundred feet of each other, and the peril was imminent, the schooner ported and the steamer starboarded her helm, and ran stern on into the port side of the schooner and sank her. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW. Most of the facts found above are undisputed. Those which are of decisive significance have been the subjects of very earnest and exhaustive contestation, and the evidence touching them is, to some extent, conflicting. It bas, therefore, been the duty of the court to •collate and consider carefully this evidence; and it is believed that fche facts found are the resuit of the pieponderating weight of it, and of the inherent probability of their truth. It would be superfluous to vindicate these conclusions by a detailed discussion of the evidence,<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> psgeg4vfkusbuuqiv7tztjbzhjbc629 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/189 104 701572 15135671 14027930 2025-06-14T22:37:03Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (9) 15135671 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>I7e FEDBKAli IIEPORTER. constitutes a case of general average, Mr. Justice Story remarked that — "The Roman law fiilly recognized and eriforced the leading limitations and conditions to justify a general contribution, which have ever since been steadily adhered to by all maritime nations: (1) That the ship and cargo should beplaced in a commoii imminent peril; (2) that there should be a voluntary sacrifice of property to avert that peril; and (3) that by that. sacrifice the safety of the other property should be preseutly and suceessfully attained. Hence, if there was no imminent danger, or necessity for the sacrifice, as if the jettison was merely to lighten a ship, too heavily laden by the fault of the master in a tranquil sea, no contribution was due. The con- tention of libellants, that the expenses incurred in this case were for the joint benefit of the ship and cargo, (because the voyage might otherwise have been indeflnitely prolonged,) is expressly declared in this case to be no ground for a general average contribution. It may be said that unless the ship is got off the voyage cannot be performed for the cargo, and the safety and prosecution of ■ the voyage are essential to entitle the owner to a contribution. But this principle is nowhere laid down in theforeign authorities; and certainly it bas Da foundation in the Roman law. It is the deliverance from an imme- diate, jrapending peril, by a common sacrifice, which constitutes the essence of the claim. * * * But, in truth, it is the safety of the property, and not of the voyage, which constitutes the true foundation of general average." In the subsequent case: of Barnard v. Adams, 10 How. 303, it is said that "in order to constitute a case for general average, three things must concur, the first of which is a common danger; a danger in which ship, cargo, and crew all participate; a danger imminent and apparently inevitable, except by voluntarily incurring the loss of a portion of the whole to save the remainder." Subsequent cases in the same court reaffirm the same principle. The Hornet, 17 How. 100; The Ann Elizabeth, 19 How. 162; The Star of Hope, 9 Wall. 203. . In his work on General Average, air. jjowndes states, as a funda- mental rule, p. 4: "That after the cargo is in safety, the benefit it may derive from being carried in the ship to its place of destination, is not a ground for making it eontribute towards the cost of repairing theiship, nor placing the ship in shape where she can be repaired;" citing Powell v. Gudgeon, 5 M. & S. 431, and Sarquy v. Hahson, 4 Bing. 131; Duncany. Beiison, 1 Exch. 537; 3 Exch. 644; Job y. Lang. te«, 6E. &B;^779.

If the proeeeding was "pending" when the law waa repealed, the court has power to grant the application. ihs language of the act of congress is inconsistent with the idea that it intended the court's jurisdiction to depend upon the presence of the required number and amount. Section 5021 of the Revised StatuteSj as amended by the act of 1874, (18 St. at Large, 180,) pro- vides that : "And in all cases commenced since the first day of December, 1873, and prior to the passage of this act, as well as those commenced hereafter, the court shall, if such allegation as to the number or amount of petitioning cred- itors be denied by the debtor by a statement in writing to that effect, require him to file in court forthwith a full list of his ereditors, with their places of residence and the sunis due them, respectively, and shall ascertain, upon reasonable notice to the ereditors, whether one-fourth in number and one- third in amount thereof, as aforesaid, have petitioned that the debtor be ad- judged a bankrupt. But if such debtor shall, on the flling of the petition, admit in writing that the requisite number and amount of ereditors have petitioned, the court (if satisfled that the admission was made in good faith) shall so adjudge, which judgment shall be final, and the matter pioceed without further steps on the subject. And if it shall appear that such num- ber and amount have not so petitioned, the court shall grant reasonable time, not exceeding in cases heretofore commenced 20 days, and cases here- after commenced 10 days, within which ereditors may join in such petition. And if, at the expiration of such time so limited, the number and amount shall comply with the requirements of this section, the matter of bankruptcy may proceed; but if, after the expiration of such limited time, such number and amount shall not answer the requirements of this section, the proceed- ings shall be dismissed, and, in cases hereafter commenced, with costs." The bankrupt act provides that the adjudication shall relate back to the time of filing the petition. The section just quoted provides a mode for supplying the requisite number and amount when there was originally a deficiency. Can it be said that congress would make the adjudication relate back to a time when the court had no jurisdiction of the proeeeding? In this case there was a petition containing the neeessary allegations as to the residence of the alleged bankrupt, his indebtedness, the nature and cbaracter of the petition- er's claim, the acts of bankruptcy alleged to have been committed, with accompanying proofs and aifidavits as required by the bankrupt law, the defendant was duly served, and this gave the court juris- diction of the cause. The question was before me in the case of In re H. Hirsch e Co., and I then so ruled. The opinion of Judge Lowell in Ex parte Jeivett, 2 Lowell, 393, is to the same effect.

Payments on account were made while the work was in progress, and a note for the balance of the bill given. Paymentof the note at maturity was refused on the ground that the contract hadnot been fully performed. L. & Co. flled a libel to recover the balance claimed to be due, and the .Com- pany in their an,swer set up a special agieement to niake the boat stiii and strong as new, and remedy the defect which made lier " cranky," and non- performance thereof.

In Admiralty. Scudder <e Carter, for libellant. T. C. Cranin, for libellee. Benediot, D. J. Upon the testimony there is little room to doubt that the libellant is entitled to recover the portion of his bill for work done upon the defendant's steam-boat, Shady Side, that remains unpaid. The letter of the libellant, dated April 10, 1880, containsa statement of the work he ofifered to do. The defendants, by their let- ter of April 14, 1880, accepted the libellant's offer as made. These two letters constitute a written contract by which alone the rights of the parties must be determined. These letters contain nothing in the shape of a warranty on the part of the libellant that the altera- tion he proposed to make in the boat's hull would make her stifif, and remedy the existing defect in her build, and for that reason it must be held that the special agreement set up in the answer bas not been proved. This view of the matter in controversy renders it unneces- sary to pass upon the conflicting testimony given in respect to con- versations and negotiations had prior to the reduction of the contract to writing. It should, however, be said that the acts of the parties subsequent to the aceeptance of the libellant's offer are in harmony with the view I have adopted, and confirm me in the opinion that the libellant bas performed his contract and is entitled to be paid the sum claimed in the libel.

The answer alleges that the bark's lights were properly set and brightly burning ; that she had a competent lookout ; that her course, from 4 o'clock to the time of the collision, was N. W. by N., and that she kept that course steadily till the collision; that the Bchooner's course waa changed more than two points before the col- lision, and as much as four or five points. It denies the faulta charged against the bark in the libel, and avers that the collision was caused by the faulta of the schooner in not keeping out of the way of the bark, and in not going under the stern of the bark or luffing up in the wind; that she had no proper lights, nor a proper and sufficient lookout ; that she did not see the bark sooner than she did, and did not keep out of her way as it waa her duty to do; that instead of doing 80 she kept away right under the bow of the bark, bringing herself about on a Une with the course of the bark, and that she did not show a torch-light over her quarter and stern. The testimony from the schooner shows that the mate, who was at the wheel, first saw the bark. He describes what he saw as a small black speck over the starboard davit. He ealled the lookout to him. The lookout came aft by the wheel and he saw that it was a square- rigged vessel. They were alarmed at the situation, the vessel was so near, and the mate cried out, "Call the captain." The lookout ran down the companion-way, which opened aft on the quarter-deck near the wheel, to call the captain. The captain was awakened by the cry of the mate, and immediately rushed out of the cabin. He had his clothes all on exeept his hat. When he reached the door of the com- panion-way the mate pointed out the vessel. He saw that it was a square-rigged vesael, apparently heading for the schooner's bow.

The defendant insista that, in view of Brockway's pecuniary circum- stances and his station in life, it is highly improbable that he could be honafde indebted to Seybert for so large an amount as $10,000. It is further urged that if any such indebtedness in fact existed, it was in the power of Daniel P. 8eybert, the use party plaintiff, to show that indebtedness, to prove the consideration for which the note was given, and that the entire absence of such evidence raises a strong presumption against the honafides of the note. It is for you to say what weight should be given to these considerations, which the de- fendant's counsel have pressed upon you. The case, as submitted to the jury, turns upon the determination of two questions of fact. The one relates to the habits of Brockway in respect to sobriety ; the other bas regard to the character of the policy in suit. (1) Was Beckwith S. Brockway, on March 8, 1868, " sober and temperate," and had he always been so? (2) Was the policy in suit a bonaflde risk upon the life of Brockway, or was it merely a speculative transaction on the part of Seybert — a wagering policy ? If you find both these questions of fact in favor of the plaintiff, your verdict will be for the plaintiff. But if your flnding upon these questions of fact, or upon either of them, is against the plaintiff, your verdict must be for the defendant. — lins. Law J. Strettell V. Ballou and others.

Thejre was no disposition of them by any order of that court, or by any pro- vision in the decree of that court. The petition of appeal sets forth that the decree below is erroneous because the district court committed errors in its rulings as to the admission of evidence reported by the examiner, and in declining to strike out such as were by defendant objected to, as will more fully appear by the objections to and requests to strike out evidence taken and tiled with and before said judge on the hearing of the cause, some of which are referred to in his decision, and also in the rulings and decision of the said judge; that the defendant is chargeable with all the knowiedge its attorneys in the prosecution of said several suits to judgment possessed, which was acquired in the progress of the suits, or present to their minds, if acquired previously; and also in holding that said attorneys were under.no professional obligation not todiselose the circumstances and designs of the bankrupts, who became clients of theirs after the com- mencement of said suits, who desired to assist defendant, and that the presumption is they did communicate their information; and also in holding the declarations of the attorneys competent evidence . of the intent and knowiedge, and to charge defendant. The district judge rendered a decision, on which he said : "The attorneys employed to bring actions and obtain judgments were the bankrupts' attorneys, and the defendant is chargeable with all the knowiedge they pos- sessed which was acquired by them in the progress of the suits or present to their minds if acquired previously. Story, Ag. § 40 ; The Distilled Spirits, 11 Wall. 356. They were under no professional obligations not to disclose the circumstances and designs of clients who desired to assist the defendant, and the law presumes that they did communicate their information." The defendant insists that several objections to evidence should be sustained and the evidence excluded. It was essential to prove the intent on the part of the bankrupts. Their declarations, while this intent was being effectuated, are as competent as their acts. So, also, the declarations of the attorneys, during the progress of the transaction, are evidence of their intent and knowiedge. The advice given by the attorneys to their clients is excluded, because inadmissible under the rule which forbids the disclosure of con- fidential communications.

The respondent's charge of $1,618.14, for "his commif?sions as assignee," was intended as a charge of 5 per cent, upon the gross col- lections; and his counsel, upon the argument, daims that su m as his legal right under a statute of the state of New York, passed May 22, 1878, (chapter 318, § 7,) declaring that assignees "shall receive foi their services a commission of 5 per centum on the whole sum which shall have corne into their hands."

The counsel for the complain- ant contends that the respondent is not entitled to the benefit of this statute, but is limited to the former rule, which was in force on Jan- uary 2, 1878, when he accepted the trust. There is nothing in this statute intimating that it was intended to be reti-oactive, By the ordinary rule of construction it would not, therefore, apply to assignments previously made. The compensation of the assignee, as long fixed by practice, might fairly be deemed to be among the implied terms, both of the making and of the acceptance of the assignment. If the statute in question had materially reduced the compensation of assignees instead of increasing it, it would scarcely be contended that anything less than the clearest indications in the statute would justify its application to assignments already accepted and partly executed. And if a retroactive effect would not be given to such a statute to the prejudice of the assignee, it should not, I think, be applied retroactively to the prejudice of the assignor or of the creditors benefieially interested in the assignment. See MS. memoranda of Choate, 3., in Rutherford v. Clements, Deeember 29, 1880. I have not been referred to any adjudication on the siibject in the state courts, and it is not necessary to determine the question here, as there are other considerations in this case which rendei- this statute, as well as the application of any other fixed rule of compensation, inappli- cable. The assignment bas been adjudged fraudaient and void as against the eomplainant, and its further execution by the defendant lawfully interrupted.

In the mean time, during February and March, prior to the filing of the petition in bankruptcy, a judgment was recovered by the Eleventh Ward Bank against the assignors for about |8,000, upon which execution was issued to the sheriff, and several other judgments were recovered against them, upon which executions were also issued during the same period, all of which, by the law of this state, became liens upon any goods and chattels of the assignors, the legal title to which still re- mained in them. If the assignaient executed on January 2d had been a valid assignaient under the state law, these executions would not have attached, and upon the decree in this action setting aside the voluntary assignaient, the benefits of the decree, it is settled, would have enured only to the assignee in bankruptcy, and the exe- cution creditors would have remained without lien or preference as before. In re Biesenthal, 15 N. B. K. 228. But upon examination of the inventory and schedules by counsel for the judgment creditors, it was found that they were wholly wanting in any statement of the individual assets or liabilities of two of the three partners ; that they were verified by only one of them ; and that this one had stated noth- ing in regard to his individual assets or liabilities. Upon the ground of these defects in the schedules, this court, upon the petition of the Eleventh Ward Bank, adjudged the assignment void, under the state law, after the lapse of 30 days, to-wit, on February 1, 1878, and that all the execution creditors, between that date and the eleventh of March, when the petition in bankruptcy was filed, acquired valid legal liens upon the goods and chattels of the assignors. See opinion of Choate, J., In re Bear, filed December 23, 1879. These execution creditors have already withdrawn about $12,500 from the net pro- ceeds of the estate before mentioned, and other similar daims are still undecided; and the numerous petitions and litigations which have thus sprung from the invalidity of the assignment through the defective schedules have entailed large additional expenses, which are likely to leave but a small residue of the net proceeds of $21,313.07 for distribution among the general creditors. Upon these facts it is clear that the defendant can have no legal or equitable daim to "commissions as assignee."

These subjects form by far the greater part of all those specified by the attorney. The re- maining items embrace several collection suits, advice concerning disputed claims, and negotiations and arrangements concerning liti- gations which were of a professional character and beneficiai to the creditors. The evidence is not sufficiently explicit to enable me to estimate with exactness the value of the services last referred to ; but having examined caref ully all the testimony in regard to them, and allowing a liberal sum for each, I find the aggregate will not exoeed the Bum of $500, to which amount the complainant's coiinsel claims that these charges should be reduced, and that sum is accordingly allowed. The master's report passes the account as of December 37, 1878. By the testimony it appears that the balance of $20,663.07, then in the respondent's hands, had been paid over to the complainant prior to the report. A final decree should be prepared in accordance with this decision, which may be settled on two days' notice before me, if the parties do not agree. Kells V. MoKenzib and othera. {Circuit Court, E. D. Michigan. November 7, 1881.) 1. Letthiis Patent — Scopb op Reissubs. A reissued patent is not valid for everything which raight have been claimed in the original patent, nor does its validity depend wholly upon the fact that the new features attempted to be socHred thereby werc suggested in the mod- els, drawings, or specifications of the original patent. Hence, where a patentee, in his specifications, claims as Iiis invention a par- ticular part of a machine, and his claims are all limited to that part, a reissue embracing other and distinct portions of the machine is not for the same in- vention, and is pro tantoxoia, although the designs accompanying the original patent show all the features contained in the reissue. 2. Brick Machinb— Kbisrde— Invaliditt. The first four claims of reissued patent No. 8,8C7, to Philip H. Kells, for an improvement in brick machines, are void for the reasou that they eularge the scope of the original patent. 3. Same — Samb— Anticipation. Beissued patent No. 8,127, to Philip H.

Under this section it is now settled that the decision of the com- missioner reissuing the patent is final and conclusive, and is not subject to review in any court, except as to the identity of the invention. But if it be apparent upon the face of the patent that he has exceeded his authority and bas thus acted without jurisdic- tion, and that there is a manifest repugnancy between the old and new patent, then it must be held as a matter of legal construction that the new patent is not for the same invention as that embraced aud secured in the original patent. Under the language of the statute the commissioner can only authorize a reissue when the patent is inoperative or invalid by reason of a defective or insufficient specification, or by reason of the patentee claiming as his own in- vention or discovery more than he had a right to claim as new. But in Seymour v. Osborne, 11 Wall. 5e4, it was said by Mr. Justice Clifford, in delivering the opinion, that — " He may, doubtlesa, under that authority, allow the patentee to redescribe his invention, and to include in the description and claims of the patent not only what was well descrihed before, but whatever else was suggested or substantially indicated in the specification or drawings, which properly belong to the invention as actually made and perfected." This case and that of Battin v. Taggert, 17 How. 74, have very generally been accepted by patentees as authority for the proposition that a patent might be reissued so as to cover everything suggested in the drawings in the original patent, although the claims and the introductory statement of the invention may have had reference solely to another portion of the machine, and other persons might be thus led to suppose that the patentees regarded nothing else as his invention or consented to abandon his right to the remainder to the public. The cases in the supreme court are not easily reconcilable, more probably from the difficulty of understanding the exact question decided, in the absence of drawings and models, than from any change of view as to the law, and the cases in the circuit courts are in hopeless confusion. The tendency of later cases in the supreme court, however, has been to hold the patentees to a much more rigid rule than that indicated in Seymour v. Osborne, and the court has fre- quently expressed its disapproval of the practice which has grown up of claiming everything which might have been claimed in the original patent, to the detriment of those who may have acted upon the sup- position that such claims had been abandoned to the public. Thus, in Russell v. Dodge, 93 U.

The legislature was willing to eoncede to the pat- entee the right to amend his specification so as fully to describe and claim the very invention attempted to be secured by his original patent, and which was not fully secured thereby in consequence of inadvertence, accident, or mis- takfe, but was not willing to give him the right to patch up his patent by the addition of other inventions, which, though tJiey might be his, had not beet. applied for by him, or, if applied for, had been abandoned or waived. For such inventions he is required to make a new application, subject to such rights as the public and other inventors may have acquired in the mean time." A case bearing more directly upon the one under consideration than any other one I have met is that of the Manuf'g Co. v. Ladd, 102 U. S. 408, and, as it contains the latest expression of the supreme court upon this subject, it is entitled to great weight. The original patent was for a water-wheel of specifie construction and form, with an annular chamber, a peculiar gate and guide arrangement, and a contrivance for adjusting the wheel on the step. There were three claims to the patent. After a lapse of twelve years and a half the patentee obtained a reissue with eleven different claims of a sweeping character, which, taken literally, would have given him a monopoly of all water-wheels having simultaneously an effective inward and downward flow and discharge, whatever might be the shape of the floats or of the crown. The court considered itself bound to consider the claims of the reissued patent in accordance with the limitationp of the invention in the original patent, and held the excess to be void. In delivering the opinion Mr. Justice Bradley spoke very foreibly ol the evils arising from expanding claims in reissued letters patent, an<i in commenting upon the statute observed : " It was never intended to allow a patent to be enlarged, but to allow tb^ correction of mistakes inadvertently committed, and the restriction of claims which had been improperly made, or which had been made too broad, — ^just the contrary of that which bas corne to be the practice. In a clear case of mistake, (not error in judgment,) the patent may undoubtedly be enlarged; but that should be the exception and not the rule, whereas the enlargement of claims has become the rule, and their contraction the exception." And in speaking of the reissue m that case he says : " The invention of a wheel was not claimed at all. A wheel was described, but it was a wheel made after a particular pattern or form, and adjusted to a particular apparatus for the reception and discharge of the water. * * * Instead of correctlng inadvertent mistakes in the specifications, which ren- dered the patent inoperative and void, the patented descriptions are evidently intended to widen the scope of the patent, and make it embrace more than it did at flrst.

It is insisted, however, on the part of the defendant, that the Parshall patent is void, so far as the sixth claim now under consideration is involved, on the ground that the combination eovered thereby is a combination of parts already well known, producing no new resuit, and requiring no invention, but only mechanical skill, in its adaptation, and t'herefore not patentable ; and to support this proposition counsel cite and urge the rule as laid down in the supreme court in the case of Heber v. Van Normer, 20 Wall. 368, in the words : "It must be conceded that a new combination, if it produces new and use- ful results, is patentable, although all the constituants of the combination were well known and in common use before the combination was made; but the resuit must be a product of the combination, and not a mere aggregate of several results, each the complete product of one of the combined elements. Combined results are not necessarily a novel resuit, nor are they an old resuit obtained in a new and improved manner. Thereby bringing old devices iato juxtaposition and there allowing each to work out its own pfPect without the production of something novel, is not invention. No one, by bringing together several old devices without producing a new and useful resuit, the joint pro- duct of the elements of the combination and something more than an aggre- gate, of old results, ean acquire a right to prevent others from using the same devices, either singly or in other combinations ; or, even if a new and useful resUlt is obtained, can prevent others from using some of the devices, omit- ting others, in the combination." It is not.always easy, in one's own mind, to draw distinctly the line ■cyhich, in the application of a general, rule like this, no matter how clearly its meaning may be apprehended, separates what is here called the exercise of that invention entitled to th& protection of a patent, and exercise of mere mechanical skill in readaptations, which are not. Still more difficult is it, in the application of the rule to the circumstances of a particular case, to point out and state distinctly to others, so as to clearly convey one's meaning, the reasons which deterraine the conclusion reached, without, at least, reference to drawings and diagrams, and minute and detailed rehearsals, of the various parts of the machine or device, their relation to each other, their mode of operation, and comparison with others, which wpuld show the exact state of the art at a particular date. That dif- ficulty is eucountered to some extent in , the present instance.; 80 far, at least, as the attempt should be made toenumerate any new results attained by the combination and eovered by the sixth claim of the Parshall patent, other than those which are separate but aggregated results of the several well-known parts or elements that constitute the combination. But what is presented by the combina- tion, as it seems to me, is this : A lubricator, in which the breakage<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> bfo7yw62d302kv9049ci87bg13dg24a Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/325 104 701707 15135686 14027934 2025-06-14T22:37:18Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: whieh → which, FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, REPOB → REPOR, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (6) 15135686 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>310 FEDERAL REPORTER. which enabled the horse or other power to move forward continuously with- out stopping or reversing, and which caused the ram to make strokes or move- ments of fixed extent and equal power ; an opening in the top of the tube, into which the hay was fed, one forkful at a time, so that eaeh forkf ul would be thrust forward to a fixed distance by the next stroke of the ram, and thereby compacted into a vertical section of pressed hay; retaining-shoulders in the walls of the tube, at or near the forward limit of the movement of the ram, to keep the hay sections from expanding baekward on the return stroke of the ram ; grooved partitions, to be inserted between the baies and moved along in the tube with them, to separate one baie from another, and to facilitate the introduction of the bands; tie-slots in the sides of the tube, to enable the bands to be introduced, passed around the baies, and tied oii without interrupting the feeding, pressing^ and discharging operations; provision for adjusting the walls of the tube towards or from each other, to regulate the friction upon the sides of the baie ; and a springing or yielding front face to the ram or ' traverser.' to prevent the hay from overlapping it and binding between its upper edge and the top of the tube." This is the plaintififs language, but, as a general description it is accurate. That the defendants' press infringes, we do not doubt. Whether all the plaintiff's claims are valid, and so infringed, is yet to be considered. But, looking at each press as a whole, and comparing the two, we find no material or substantial difference. Each has a crank-toggle and reoiprocating traverser, a press-box and bale-cham- ber, with tying-slots and retaining-shoulders at its rear end; each builds up a baie of separately-compressed sections, and discharges it when formed, through the forward end, by means of additional charges, and each has the adjustable sides at the front of the bale-chamber to regulate the friction of the passing baie. In short, the hay is received, pressed and formed into baies, held in position, bound and discharged, by the two presses substantially in the same manner — practically by the same means and mode of operation, and with sub- stantially the same resuit. Horizontal tying-slots are found on but one side of the defendants' (while the plaintiff's has them on both,) but a vertical slot or opening on the other, is substituted for passing the bands (the only ofiSce of tying-slots.) Neither this nor any other difference found, is deemed material. They are differences in form, that add no value to the machine. The defendants' will do nothing which the plaintiff's will not do as well and as expeditiously. The absence of advantage in the complicated method of passing the bands — rendered necessary by omitting the slots on one side — and the other differences in construction, might suggest the thought that these dif- ferences were resorted to in the hope of escaping responsibility for infringement.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> gt9jxguoxzyx0vfweb6sxrejn90jb6s Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/329 104 701712 15135687 8177261 2025-06-14T22:37:19Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (9) 15135687 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>314r FEDERAL REPORTER. ties, in combination with the bale-chamber," etc. ; and "(11) The fol- lower 0, as a partition or separation between the finished and form- ing baie." Whatever the plaintiff may have intended by the term "movable partition," as employed in the claims now under consideration, it must be held to refer to the "follower 0, " the only movable partition contemplated in the original application for a patent. The attempt to found four additional claims on this device, as here exhibited, is censurable. If the purpose was to vary the character of the device, it was an effort to expand the scope of the invention. If not this, it is a senseless, confusing, and therefore mischievous, multiplication of claims for the same aubject-matter. Construing the term "movable partition" to mean the "follower 0," everything embraced in these claims is fully covered by the sixth and eleventh, just referred to, Eeading the latter in connection with the specifications and drawings (as we must,) they include every element and combination here embraced. The "process," as it is called, in the eighth, is simply the operation and effeet of the plaintiff 's press, with the "follower 0" used in the manner set forth in the specifications, The claims are disallowed. Of reissue 8,292, the claims involved read as follows: "(2) In that class of horizontal presses in which the hay is fed and pressed in sections by a reciprocating traverser and crank, or toggle power, as set forth, the loose or adjiistahle sweep or horse-lever, for the purpose set forth." "(5) In that class of baling-presses in which the hay is fed and pressed in sections, a press-case provided with a screerv-bottom under the reciprocating traverser D, and in combination with the same, for the purpose set forth. (6) In a baling- press in which the material is compressed in sections by a reciprocating trav- erser, the pressing devices so arranged and operated that the reaction or elastic- ity of the pressed material shall reverse the traverser without turning the horse-lever or sweep." Here, again, two of the claims — the second and sixth — embrace the same matter. Each is substantially for an arrangement of the power and pressing devices (such as is described in the specifications and shown in the model and drawings,) to prevent the reaction or rebound of the pressed material throwing the lever against the horses. The matter embraced is new and patentable, but the double claim cannot be allowed. While it may be a matter of indifference whether the one or the other be rejected, we will reject the second and allow the sixth. In the fifth the only element demanding consideration is "the screen-bottom" under the reciprocating traverser.

But in the construction both of contracta and statu tes, the interit of the framers and parties is to be sought, first of all, in the words and language employed, and if the words are free from ambiguity and doubt, and express plainly, clearly, and distinctly the sense of the framers of the instrument, there is no occasion to resort to other means of interpretation. It is not allowable to interpret what bas no need of interpretation, and when the words have a defluite and precise meaning to go elsewhere in search of conjecture in order to restrict or extend the meaning. Statutes and contracta should be read and understood according to the natural and most obvions iraport of the language, without resort to subtle and forced construction for the purpose of either limiting or extending their operation." Now the language of this aot is plain and unambiguous. Accord- ing to its grammatical construction, and the natural and obvions meaning of the words used, it prohibita every seizure of the kind described by force of any provision of title 34r. The seizure in this case is one of the kind described, viz., of a vessel employed as a common carrier, where neither master nor owner was a consenting party or privy to the illegal act, and the seizure is made under title 34 exclu- sively. The seizure by a marshal for a penalty is as much a "seiz- ure," both in the ordinary meaning of that word and in its legal sense, as a seizure by a revenue offieer for the purpose of forfeiture. To seize is to "take hold of suddenly and forcibly; to take possession of by force." Worcester's Dict. In law, seizure is "the act of taking possession by virtue of an execution or legal authority." Bouvier's Law Dict. As respects the fact of seizure it matters not by what legal offieer, or in what kind of a proceeding, such forcible possession is taken ; nor does it make any difference to the owner of the vessel, or to the public who may have taken passage in her, or laden her hold with goods for immediate transportation, whether the seizure and the inter- ruption of her journey come from a revenue offieer or a marshal. Whether done by the one or by the other, the act of each, the seizure itself, the forcible taking possession, is precisely the same in both cases. The word "seizure" applies equally to both. It manifestly describes the one kind as aptly and as naturally as the other. In the act of 1881 there is no indication that the word "seizure" is not used in its general legal as well as popular sense. There is no evidence in the act itself of any intention to limit its application to seizures by one class of officers and in one kind of proceedings, and to exclude other seizures in other proceedings under title 34. No such distinction is made. Moreover, in passing this act, congress must be presumed to have been aware of the two different proceedings and modes of seizure<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> oun1z8gt9trfsouzmibs6ghhw7pxplg Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/357 104 701743 15135690 8177292 2025-06-14T22:37:21Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: tho → the , PEDEEA → FEDERA, lowa, → Iowa, (2), POBT → PORT, BBPO → REPO, PORTB → PORTE, removed: � (9) 15135690 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>342 FEDERAL REPORTER. responsibility of one person to another, for the consequence of personal negli- gence, is not lessened by.the existence of the relation of m aster and servant, Said McCrary, 0. J., in the late case of MoMahon v. Henning, 3 Fed. Rep. 353, arising upon facts like those of the principiil case: " The true doctrine of the common law is that the master is liable to his servants, as much as to any one else, for the consequences of his own negligence; aud it is no defeaee for Mm to show that the negligence of a fellow-servant contributed to bringing about the injury." Such personal negligence of the master may conslst, either in the failure to employ fit and competent servants, or to fumish suitable and safe machinery, structures, appliances, and materials for their use. Masteh's Duty in Selection of Machinery. In the selection of ma- chinery, etc., it is the duty of the master to use reasonable or ordiuary care, and this care he must exercise, both In procurlng and maintaining sound and safe structures and appliances. If be knows, or in the exercise of due care might have known, that they are unsafe or insufhcient, either at the time of procurlng them or at any subsequent time, he fails in his duty. Qilman v.

What will be ordinary care depends on the nature of the business, its extent, degree of hazard involved, and all the circumstances of the case. Said Thomas, J., in Cayzer v. Taylor, 10 Gray, at page 280: " What is ordinary care cannot be determined abstractly. It bas relation to and must be measured by the work or thing done, and the instrumentali- ties used, and their capacity for evil as well as good. What would be ordi- nary care in one case may be gross negligence in anotlier. We look to the work, its difflculties, dangers, and responsibilities, and then say, what would and should a reasonable and pradent man do in such an exigency?" The law does not exact from the master the exercise of the highest degree of diligence in supplying safe machinery for the use of the servant; ordinary care is sufficient. Cooper v. Central, etc., R.

DELEGATION OF MASTER'S DUTT TO AGENT OE SERVANT — SeRVANT'S Negligence Imputable to the Master. Where an employer attends personally to the supply and repair of the machinery, the question for the jury is, did he exercise reasonable care in the performance of his duty to the servant to selcct,sound and suitable machinery, and to keep the same in re- pair ? When the.employer does not do this in person, but, as is pf ten the case with individuals, and always the case wlth corporations, delegates the duty of selecting and repairing the machinery to bis agent or servant,, what is the question for the Jury in this case? Does the question becpme, as mainjiained by some text writers, did the mastCT exercise reasonable care in the selec- tion of the servant to whom he delegated the duty of selecting and repairipg the machinery? Said lyord Citirns, in Wilson v. Merry, L. R. 1 jSc App. 326: "But what the master is, in my opinion, bound to his servant to do, in the event of his not. personally superintending and directing the virork, is to select proper and cpmpeteut persons to do so, and to furnish them with adequate materials and resources for the work. When he has done this he has, in my opinion, done all that he is bound to do. And if the persons so seleijted are guilty of negligence, this is not the negligence of thc master.[' If such is the true rule of law, then corporations could seldombe held responsible for injuries to employes from detective machinery; and, in the Jifnguage of Byles, J., in Olarke v. Holmes, 7 H. & N. 937, " the more a master fleglects his business and abandons it to others the less will he be liable."<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> r6o1wug2qbvby9dx883a1etfcscm60t Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/375 104 701764 15135692 8177312 2025-06-14T22:37:23Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDBB → FEDER, DERAL BE → DERAL RE, POKTER → PORTER, removed: � (8) 15135692 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>360 FEDERAL REPORTER, the bond enforced, would he have gone to those vrhom he is charged with compassing to defraud and offered the coveted title upon pay- ment of the bond? It would be extremely difficult to reconcile this offer with any conspiracy to defraud the complainant or Walker, or with any schema to secure the property for Holbrook, or with any other purpose save that of judiciously closing up an enterprise which, from incurable discord, had to be abandoned as a failure. Holbrook's purchase of the additional stock is reconcilable with the same purpose, stimulated by a desire, by payment of Hernandez's bond through i lie assets of the company, to relieve himself from a loss which he felt the fault of others, including complainant, would more justly place upon them than him. The charter placed the control of the whole business in the hands of the directors, and they, by their by-laws, gave the editorial a_id business management into the hands of A. M. Holbrook, the presi- dent. Though this may have been distasteful to the complainant, since done in accordance with the supreme and organio law of the corporation, it constituted no good ground of his withdrawal of bis aid and co-operation from the joint enterprise. There could be no prior understanding between members of a corporation which could prevent the supremacy of its charter aa constituting the rule for its operations and the law for its members. Still, the complainant seems to have been so impressed with the idea that the adoption of the by-laws of December 26, 1873, which gave the supervision over the editors to the president, was a violation of the understanding with which he had entered into the corporation, that he states in his testimony that "he felt from that time that he could not attend any meeting of the board of directors, or assume any connection with the Picayune, without condoning a fraud and jeopard- izing my own interest and those of other stockholders of the paper. He stood ready to resume his post as managing editor, and never refused to perform any duty in that line." The fact of this position of resist- ance to the by-laws upon the part of the complainant is stated by nearly all witnesses who testify on the subject. Alexander Walker says : "Mr. Hancock never attended any meet- ings of directors but one or two, and he retired from the board and retired from the establishment, and I never saw him or held any con- sultation with him during the year following." He says, also: "We of the Herald Company had been exceedingly dissatisfied with the assumption of the entire control of the establishment by Mr. Hol- brook."<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 5df3d7x7dqhbkm6etwpmldbzpuywjk9 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/379 104 701770 15135693 8177316 2025-06-14T22:37:24Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: ORTK → ORTE, removed: � (8) 15135693 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>364 FEDERAL REPORTER. tried at the present term, and no trial has been had." The order of removal was made without any prior notice to the attorney for the defendants. ihere v;-as a trial term of the state court whleh comraenced the first Monday of May. The plaintLff, on the fifteenth of April, placed the cause on the calendar of the court for that term. There is nothing to ahow how long that term continued. The motions for commissions were adjourned f rom time to time till Septem- Ler 5th. A trial term of the state court was held in the month of June, 1881. It does not appear that the case was noticed for trial for that term by either party. That term commenced June 6th and ended prier to September Ist. The defendants move to remand the suit. It is plain that the suit was not removed in time. There was nothing to interfere with its being tried legally at the June term. The notice of motion for a commission and a stay was not a stay. The plaintiff was bound to remoye the suit, at least, bef ore the end of the June term, if he was to remove it at all. Forrest v. Keeler, 17 Blatchf. 522. The plaintiff contends that the question of time oannot be considered in this court, because the state court passed upon it in its order. It is true that the state court adjudicated upon it, but it did so ex parte, and without a hearing of the defendants. The act of March 3, 1875, (18 St. at Large, 470, § 5,) provides that if, in any siiit removed to this court, it shall appear to its satisfaction, at any time after the suit is removed, that it "does not really and substantially involve a dispute or controversy properly within the jurisdiction" of this court, this court shall proceed no further therein, but shall remand it to the court from which it was removed. This provision has recently been construed by the supreme court in Bahbitt v. Clark, 103 U. S, 606, 610. It is there said by the court that a decision by the circuit court that the necessary steps were not taken to remove the case, is a decision of the question of its jurisdiction ; and that the question of whether a removal was made in time, is a question of jurisdiction. In that view, it is for this court to determine its jurisdiction, how- ever that question may previously have been decided by the state court.

It is very elear that the motion must be granted. The defendant attended as a party before the examiner. The regularity of the exam- ination was recognized by the attendance of the plaintiff, by the arrangement he then and there made for future cross-examination by . Mr. Clark, and by the antedated written stipulation which Mr. Clark signed the next day. The examination was thus made a regular pro- ceeding in the suit in Massachusetts. The defendant had a right to attend upon it in person, whether he was to be himself examined as a witness before Mr. Thompson or not, and he had a right to be pro- tected, while attending upon it, from the service of the papers which were served in this suit. He attended in good faith, the examination waspending and unfinished, and he was served duringthe interval of an adjournment. The privilege violated was a privilege of the Mas- sachusetts court, and one to be liberally construed for the due admin- istration of justice. Juneau Bank v. MeSpedan, 5 Biss. 64 ; Brooks y. ^armU, 4 Fed. Ebp. 166; Bridges v.Sheldon, 7 Fed. Eep. 17, 42. The only objections urged against the motion are technical ones — that the written stipulation was not signed till after the service was made ; that there was no order as to the examination entered in the Massachusetts court ; that no formai written notice of the intended examination was served; that the sitting before the examiner was, therefore, unauthorized; and that the written stipulation cannot have an effect as of a date earlier than November 3d. If these objec- tions were allowed to have force, the plaintiff would only be placed in the position of having, by the prior verbal arrangements made, sanctioned by the subsequent action of himself and his counsel there- under, decoyed the defendant to visit New York by deceptive induce- ments, and thus the case would be brought within the principle laid down in Union Sugar Refinery v. Mathiesson, 2 Cliff. 304, and in Steiger v. Bonn, 4 Fed. Eep. 17. The plaintiff and his counsel, by what they said and did, represented to the defendant that the proceed- ing before Mr. Thompson was' regular and orderly and authorized, and induced him to rely on that view. He had a right, as a party to the Massachusetts cuit, to attend a regular examination of wit- nesseS'in that suit in New York, and to be protected, while so attend- ing, from the service of the papers in this suit. The plaintiff is estopped frpin raising the objection as to regularity.

Lewis and pretends to docket the same, which judgment was there- after, Pebruary 4, 1878, assigned to the defendant Alexander Crawford. Upon this judgment the said Alexander Crawford issued execution, which was levied on this property in township 29, and the same was sold April 8, 1879, he biiying it in for the sum of $1,800. Prior to this sale, however, the said Alexander Crawford had due notice of the mortgage claim of plaintiii upon this land. Prior to said execution and sale R. P. Lewis commenced proeeed- ings in bankruptcy for a discharge from his debts, to-wit, on August 31, 1878; bis discharge being granted April 15, 1879, only seven days af ter the sale of said property. During the pendency of the proceedings in bankruptcy, and prior to the execution and sale, the said Alexander Crawford proved up his entire claim in the bankrupt court, without any reference to his lien upon this prop- erty, making affldavit that he had no lien upon this or any other property. E. Webb, for plaintif. B. B. Galusha, for defendant Crawford. Nelson, D. J. I have exalniried this case, and find notMng new presented -which can reverse the decision already made and set aside the order for a deeree. The defendant Crawford proved his debt as an unsecured claim, and made aflSdavit to that effect in the form prescribed by law. Subsequently he issued execution on the judg- ment, pending the bankruptcy proceedings, and attempted to collect this claim, which was in judgment and a lien upon real estate at the time, as he now insists, when he made and filed his proof. If he was a crediter having a lien, by proving his debt secured thereby to the full amount he waives his lien, and relinquishes it. Such bas been the ruling even in respect to mortgages upon specifie property. Before a secured crediter can prove his full claim as an unsecured debt he must surrender the security. There is no distinction made in the kind of security. 1 B. R. e86, 400, 147; 8 B. E. 241. Craw- ford could have refused to prove his debt or appear in the bankruptcy court, and looked to the lien which he elaims his judgment gave him ; and unless the assignee took action and assumed control of the property on which the lien attached, might have subjected it to the discharge of his debt. But he did not do this. He aeted upon the theory that he could prove his debt as unsecured, and at the same time enforce the lien which the judgment gave him. There is no support for such a claim. 95 U. S. 764.

The inventer, referring, in his specifications, to the practice of his invention, says that he provides any suitable cbill-room or refrigera- ting chamber within or through which a carrent of air is produced. Such current may be either from the external atmosphere through the chill-room and thence ont again, or the room or chamber may be closed against access of the external atmosphere, and its contained air be caused to pass, over and over again, through a suitable ice-box or equivalent means of reducing the temperature thereof ; and this causing the air to pass repeatedly through the said ice-box, or the like, may be either by a change in the density of the air, as in the well-known Lyman refrigerator, or the circulation of the air through the ice-box may be produced by means of a fan-blower. In the defendant's apparatus, the refrigeration is accomplished by a series of pipes arranged around the walls of the refrigerating chamber, extending nearly to the ceiling, through which the brine is mechanically forced. The air, being chilled by the pipes, flows out to the center of the chamber, v/heve it comas in contact with the meat, and, being warmed by it, rises and flows to the sides of the box, where it is again cooled by the pipes. The meat, covered with bur- laps or with cotton goods, like shirting, is exposed to this continu- ons current of air. It does not require an expert to prove that such a process of cool- ing, with such a covering of the meat to be transported, falls within the claim of the complainant's patent.

"I claim, as new, the herein-descvibed process of manufacturing middlings flour by passing the middlings, after their discbarge from a purifier, through or between rolls, and subsequently bolting and grinding the same for the purposes set forth." The point is that this is a process patent, as distinguished from a patent for a mechanical device. This difference in the law concern- ing patents for inventions is one of great moment. If it is a patent for a process, the particular mechanical device by which the process is worked is not patented ; any machinery or mechanical device for exeeuting the patent is not embraced in it. Generally a patent for a process, for that reason, is very muoh more valuable than a patent for a mechanical device, because whatever way you make any altera- tion in the device changes the nature of it, if it be for a combination patent ; if you add an element, or omit an element, such patent is easily evaded. But not so with the process patent, which has no concern with the specifie mechanical devices or contrivances by which the process is worked. New, Mr. Downton, after securing that patent, and, as shown by the proofs, being an intelligent man, and with an ingenious mind, also contemplated the procuring at this time of a patent for machin- ery for the purpose of working his process ; for instance, this patent is to be worked, as it appears, by rolls and rollers, and he contem- plated at this time the procuring of a patent for rolls— for a mechan- ical device, or machinery to operate his patent, and also for what is known as a middlings duster, known as "Downton's Peerless Mid- lings Duster." Now, after he had obtained this process patent, and when he had these patents for machines in contemplation, he fell in with the firm of AUis & Co., of Milwaukee and Chicago, who it seems had a large establishment for the manufacture of machines of various kinds. Downton having the patents, — that is, having one and contemplating getting others, — it was supposed they could make an arrangement to act together, (Allis & Co. to manufacture the rolls and duster, and avail themselves of Downton'a patent for the right or process,) and they made a series of contracts. I will allude to each of them very briefly. The only one now material to be considered is the one I first read: " For and in consideration of the sum of $125, to me in hand paid, I hereby sell. assign, and set over to Edward P. Allis & Co., of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, their successors and assigna, the exclusive right to manufacture and sell rolls for crushing grain or middlings, or other substances.

Allia & Co. pending the continuing of the arrangement between them and Downton, were put into the mill under that contract which had been made by Downton, representing Allis & Co. as well as himself. After these had been put in, Allis & Co. failed, and proceedings in bankruptcy were commenced against them. That, Downton seemed to have conceived, had the effect to end these three contracts between himself and Allis & Co., and, at all events, from that time all busi- ness relations or connections between them ceased, as it is claimed. Allis & Co. were not adjudged bankrupts. They made an agreement or composition with their creditors, and proceeded in business. So that any rights they had under that contract they still have, Thus, the bankruptcy, by reason of ite termination in this manner, ceases to be material in ascertaining the relations of the parties. As to the special point now under consideration, we assume that the proofs show that Yaeger & Co. had notice of the bankruptcy, and that Down- ton claimed that he had terminated this arrangement, and that Downton insisted that the whole contract between himself and Allis & Co. was at an end, and that all rights thereunder had reverted to him. After this, and after the alleged notice of the character I have described, Allis & Co., claiming that the contract was still in force and that they were the assignees of all rights of Downton, continued to manufacture these rolls, and the Yaeger Milling Company put in several other sets of rolls in their mill. Now, this is a bill by Downton, as the holder of the process patent, to which I have adverted, against the Yaeger Milling Company for mfringement of bis rights under that patent in the use of these rolls,. under the circumstances I have stated. This is an outline of the case. Now, one question, on which we ordered an argument, is whether, under these circumstances, whatever may be Downton's rights as between himself and the rest of mankind, or as between himself and Allis & Co., who are not parties on the record in this suit, as Mr. Downton bas never had judicial settlement or adjustment of his rights in a direct proceeding with Allis & Co. — whatever might be the rights of Mr. Downton as against anybody else — the question is whether he was not equitably estopped, as against Yaeger & Co., from insisting that they infringed his patent, by reason of the circum- stances I have stated. The counsel have been heard on that, and we agree (Judge Treat and myself) that so far as the two rolls are concerned that were put in by Downton himself during the pendency of his relations with Allis & Co., and for which. they paid Allis & Co.,.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> il9bdukzpgm8pjwmaz1f4jtstkjea7u Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/425 104 701816 15135701 8177367 2025-06-14T22:37:32Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, EBPO → REPO, removed: � (7) 15135701 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>410 FEDERAL REPORTER. directing him, in case the respondent could not be fouud, to attach her goods, etc., to-wit, the steam-tiig Frank Pidgeon, Jr. The return of the marshal states that "after diligent search and inquiry he was unable to .find the respondent, and that he thereupon, on September 5th, attached the respondent's right, title, and interest in the steam- tug by leaving a copy of the proeeas with the engineer in charge of the tug, and showing him the originaL" Upon the return-day the respondent appeared specially for the purpose of moving to set aside the eerrice of process on the ground that no proper attempt was made to find or serve the respondent personally before attaching the tug. The matter bas been submitted to my determination' upon the affi- davits of the parties, and of the deputy marshal who made the service. From these it appears — That the respondent is the wife of Francis Pidgeon, of Saiigerties, Ulster eounty, Kew York, where she has for many years resided ; that she has been owner of the tug since August, 1876, and that the bill of sale of the tug to her, registered at the Kew York custom-house, describes her as residing at Saugerties; that her husband, who has had the management and control of the tug, has for 20 years past had a place of business at Long Island city, and has been known to the libellant, who also did business in the saine neighbor- hood for about that time; that the libellant knew he resided "up the river this side of Albany, but did not know his precise residence;" and that, prier to filing the libel, he had reason to believe that the respondent was the wife of said Frank Pidgeon, and the libel itself so states ; that the supplies f ur- nished by the libellant, for which this suit was brought, were furnished at the husband's request; that prior to the attachment the husband had, for sorae time, been absent from his place of business at Long Islaud city, and was supposed to have become insolvent ; that the libellant's proctor, before flling the libel, had consulted the registry at the custom-house, and found that the respondent was owner of the tug since Angust, 1876 ; and that the marshal, on receiving the process for service, was informed by the libellant's proctor that the respondent was believed to be the wife of Francis Pidgeon, and that she resided in Saugerties in 1876, but whether she now resided there or not he did not know ; that her husband had a place of business at Long Island city; that the marshal went to the husband's said place of business, did not find him, nor " learn anything of his whereabouts," either there or upon inquiry in the neighborhood ; that he thereupon went to the tug, and, without inquiry for the respondent, attached it at once, and was thereupon immediately informed by the captain that Mr. Pidgeon was at Saugerties. From these f acts it seems evident to me that no bona fide endeavor was made by the marshal to serve the respondent personally. Itwas sufficiently known to him that she was the wife of Francis Pidgeon, and that she resided in Saugerties in August, 1876.

She was prosecuting on her own part the business for which she was in part designed, and was in the ordinary pursuit of her employaient, and she suffered no loss or injury in rendering the service; and neither the difficulty nor the Personal labors or hazard of the salvors themselves greatly, if at all, exceeded those in cases of ordinary towage in rough weather ; and other tugs were either near at hand or within a few hours' call. Many of the important circumstances, therefore, which often go to increase the amount of salvage compensation are either -wholly want- " ing in this case or exist in only a comparatively small degree. On the other ha,nd, the large number of passengers whose lires were involved in thesafety of the vesael is in this case an important consideration, although by thc general maritime law, aside from stat- ute, the saving of human lif e, disassooiated from the saving of property, is not a subject of salvage compensation, but left tO the bounty of individuals; yet when connected with the rescue of property it is uniformly held to enhance the- meritorious character of the service and the consequent remuneration.

Life salvage is now expressly provided for by the British Merchants' Shipping Act of 1854, §§ 458, 459; but we have no similar statute in this coun- try. The weight to be given, however, to this consideration, as in considering the risk to the vessel herself, depended largely upon the degree and imminence of the danger, the probability of disaa- ter if unrelieved, and the opportunities for other means of rescue. That the situation of the Plymouth Eock, when disabled by this accident, was in general one in which danger was reasonably and justly to be apprehended, is sufficiently manifest. But in attempting to go beyond that and to determine the precise degree of her danger ; whether she would have gone ashore if unrelieved; whether her an- chors and chains were insufficient and would have dragged, or how much or how rapidly; or whether, in the wind and sea then raging, her structure was such as to ensure her riding at anchor safely with- out further accident or injury, — much is left to conjecture and un- certainty amid the contradictory opinions of the witnesses. It was not, however, denied that she was not built for a sea-going steamer, nor that her rank for, a sound steamer was very low.

The libellants have at least sustained a loss of $2,800 in gains pre- vented by this failure of the defendants to keep their contract, and in my judgment they are such damages as arise naturally from the breach of the contract, and must also be considere d as within the contemplation of the parties thereto when they made it; and are, tliPrefore, recoverableiii this suit. Hadley v. Baxendale, 9 Bxch. 341 ; Griffin y. Golver, 16 N. Y. 489; Ogden v. Marshall, 4 Selden, 340; Sedg. Dam. 79. The stipulation in the charter that either party shall be liable to the other in the penal sum of $2,900 upon a failure to perform any part of the agreement, was intended, in contemplation of law, not as a measure of damages, but as a penalty, to be enforced only to the amount of the actual damages sustained by such failure. Harris v. Miller;\}. S. C. 0. Dis. Or., March 8, 1880; Sedg. Dam. 399, 421, note 1. But this being a suit, not for the penalty, but upon the covenants in the contract for damages for a breach thereof, the amount recovered may exceed such penalty. Lowe v. Peers, 4 Burr. 2225 : Harrison v. Wright, 13 East, 343 ; Winter v. Trimmer, 1 Black, 395 ; Abb. on Ship. 285 ; Sedg. Dam. 423. In their answer the defendants allege that the parties were mutu- ally released from the obligation of the charter-party by reason of the alleged cancellation of the same by the master and Hop Kee; but it not appearing that the latter bad authority to make such cancella- tion, that defence is abandoned, and it is now insisted that the con- traot to furnish and receive freight and passengers on the G-aribaldi at Hong Kong for Portland was a contract so far to be performed in the former place, and, being prohibited there, it was invalid, and therefore bound neither party to it. But this proposition assumes •what is not proven. There is no evidence that it was unlawful to carry passengers out of Hong Kong on a suitable vessel — one that was "staunch and strong," and reasonably safe for them to venture their lives upon. The defendants expressly covenanted in the charter- party that the Garibaldi was such a vessel, and in such condition ; and, if they had not, the law would imply a covenant on their part that the vessel was "fit" to do what they undertook to do with her — carry passengers out of Hong Kong.

They appealeJ to the court of appeals, where, after some delay, it was decided and the judg- ment of the lower court was reversed and the cause sent back for further prooeeding, in conformity with an opinion then rendered. The mandate of the court of appeals was filed in the Louisville chancery court on the- — day of May, 1881, and an order entered overruling the demurrer to the answer and cross-petition of Norton & Calhoun. Meyer & Hay filed a reply to this answer and cross-petition on the day of May, 1881, and Norton & Cal- houn filed, on the twenty-first of June, 1881, an amended answer and cross- petition, and a rejoinder to the reply. This rejoinder re(iuired a surrejoinder, and the amended answer and cross-petition a reply. The Code allowed two weeks' time within which Meyer & Hay could file their reply and surrejoinder. These pleadings could have been filed in the olerk's office with the same effect as in court. Sections 810 and 811. After the issues are made up, 30 days are allowed within which proof may be taken. Section 818. The Louisville chancery court took its usual vacation from the day of July, 1881, to Sep- tember 23, 1881, as appears from an agreement of facts filed by the parties in this court. Meyer & Hay filed their petition in the Louis- ville chancery court September 24, 1881, asking a removal of the cause to this court, and tendered the proper bond. That court accepted the bond, and ordered the cause to be transf erred so far as there was a controversy between Meyer & Hay and Norton & Cal- houn. This transcript bas been filed in this court, and Norton & Calhoun moved to remand the cause to the state court. The learned counsel have urged several grounds for this motion, but it will only be necessary to notice two of them. The third sec- tion of the act of 1875 requires the petition for a removal of a cause from a state court to this court shall be "before or at the term at which said cause could be first tried, and before the trial thereof." It is insisted that by the rules and practice of the Louisville chancery court, that this cause could have been tried upon the issues as now formed, or upon issues which should have been joined before the twenty-fourth of September, 1881, and hence the petition for removal was too late. , The construction of this languagein the actof 1875 is not nniform in the various circuit courts. It does not, I think, mean the term of court when the parties are first ready to try the cause, nor does it mean the term of court when the issues are first joined ; but it means that term of court at which, by the law and the practice of that court, the cause could have been first tried. The cause may not in fact be ready for trial, but if, by the law and the practice of the court where<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> qsupqegdic7idx2cf8z2ytqt0kp23jy Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/451 104 701844 15135705 8177392 2025-06-14T22:37:36Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: tlie → the, EPORTB → EPORTE, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (9) 15135705 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>436 FEDERAL REPORTER. time during the term in which the cause "could be first tried, and before the trial thereof." This right exista during the term of the court without regard to the lerigth of the term. Henee, in applying the act of 1875 to the Louisville chancery court, if there is any period of time which is regarded in the law as equivalent to a term of that court, the right to file a petition and have a removal to this court should continue during such period. The Kentucky Gode (section 772) provides that the Louisville chan- cery court "shall have such control over its judgments for 60 days as circuit courts have over their judgments during the term in which they are rendered." Litigants may, I think, file their petition for removal under the act of 1875, in the Louisville chancery court, before the trial of a cause, and within 60 days after the cause is first triable by the law and practice of that court. This is a reasonable rule, and one -which is clearly within the spirit of the act of 1875; and, as the removal in the case under consideration is within that time, I conclude the objection urged is not well taken. It is also insisted that the judgment of the Louisville chancery court sustaining the demurrer to Norton & Calhoun's answer and crosB-petition, and dismissing them with costs, was a trial within the meaning of the act of 1875, and therefore the petition for removal was filed in this case after the first trial, and is too late. A trial is defined in the Kentucky Code to be "a judicial examination of the issues of law or of facts in an action or proceeding." Section 311. This definition, however is not conclusive upon this court in ascer- taining the meaning of the word "trial" as used by congress in the act of 1875. The learned chancellor bas, notwithstanding this defi- nition, decided in this case that the judgment of the court upon the demurrer was not a trial within the meaning of the act of 1875, and although that opinion is strong, persuasive evidence of the mean- ing of "trial, " it is not authoritative. This court is obliged to decide for itself, on this motion, the meaning of "trial" as used in the act of 1875. The act of July 27, 1866, used the words "trial or final hearing," and the act of March 2, 1867, used the words "final hearing or trial," and only required that the petition for removal and bond shall be filed before tha,t time. The act of 1875 has dropped the words "final" and "hearing." "Trial," in this act, (1875,) must include a "hearing," as used in the equity practice. The trial, as expressed in this act, may or may not be in fact a "final trial, " but to be a trial it must be such a proceeding as may give the court where it is the right to<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> hoa4g7neho6bvy0dmwtofqe8v6vi0eh Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/465 104 701859 15135706 8177407 2025-06-14T22:37:37Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, removed: � (20) 15135706 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>450 FEDERAL RBPORTES. figure in this cq,se. Nearly every patented device, in order to apply it or make it operative, requires the use, in connection with what is cov- ered by the patent, of something which is old, as in this case. Some- ihing to attach the yoke or bailitu the,neok of the bottle isnecessary, and the proof shows the complainant and defendant both made these fasteners complete, -with the wire collar or band to go around the neck of the bottle, so that it could be applied ready for use by merely closing : the collar around the neck. In manufacturing his fasteners thus ready for use, complainant made the profit found by the mas- ter, and it is no answer to eomplainant's claim for damages that every operative part of his fastener was not covered by his patent. He madethem according to his patent, and sold them. The defend- ant, jnstead of buying from complainant, made his own fasteners in complete similitude of eomplainant's patent, and thereby damaged the complainant. , In other words, the complainant, by making fasteners complete for use under his patent, made a profit, and the defendant, by wrong- fully using eomplainant's patent, deprived him of a portion of the profits which he would otherwise have made. The exceptions are overruled, the report of the master confirmed, and a decree will be entered fixing the eomplainant's damages at $8,585.11, to be paid with interest from the date of the report.

So, too, in the bottle-stopper caae, lately before Jndge Sliipraan, (Patnam\. Tinkham, 4 Fed. Eep. 411,) the learned judge says: "The claim is as follows : 'The internally located bottle stopper, B, pro- vided with a hinged or jointed handle or bail, G, composed of two elastic legs or branches, and an eye or finger loop, as and for the purpose set forth.' Ile virtually disclaims rigid handles, and says that his Invention is designed to avoid sueh a method of construction. It is useless to say that by a rigid handle he merely meant a bail without spring action, for the entire paragraph shows that he also meant a handle so jointed or hinged to the stopper that it could be tumed away from the mouth of the bottle. He intended to point out that his handle or bail was both hinged to the stopper and had elastic legs. The reissue covers a device in which the bail is attached to the stopper in any manner. The hinged construction is briefly alluded to as one which ac- complishes a certain resuit. * * * In the original patent the patentee informed the public, with precision, and after deliberation, that his invention was an improvement upoii a rigid handle, and limited himself to a hinged or jointed handle. It has now become important for the plaintiff to possess himself of the teiTitory which his assigner attempted to occupy, but abiin- doned, and the ownership of which he virtually disclaimed. A comparison of the two patents shows -that the case is clearly within the principles which have been recently and frequently anuounced by the supreme court as appli- cable to reissues. The reissue is void because it is on its face for a different invention from that which was embraced in the original patent. Russell v. Dodge, 93 U. S. 460; Ry. Co. v. Sayles, 97 U. S. 554; Powder Co. v. Powder Works, 98 U. S. 126; Leggett v. Avery, 17 0. G. 445." These authorities seem to fully meet this case, and I can put no other construction upon them than that this claim is void by reason of the original disclaimer. This patentee had no right, after having stated positively to the world and to the patent-office that he did not claim the idea of mounting the rake-head upon the top of the car- riage, by a reissue, to claim this as an element of invention by him- self. But if there is room for doubt as to the soundness of this position, I am also clear that the defendant does not infringe this claim. The claim is for the combination, etc., whereby the head is supported above the rear upper edge of the axle, as shown. The defendant's rake-head is suspeuded behind or in the rear of the axle by brackets, hung, so to speak, behind the axle, instead of being sup- ported above the axle. In Edgarton v. Breck Judge Lowell says : " The difflculty with the second claim of the reissue, as applied to this case, is that the patentee has seen fit, for some reason, to describe his rake-head as supported above the upper edge of the axle, and the defendant's rake-head is on a line with the axle. It may be that this limitation is unnecessary, but it is found in the second claim, and I do not feel at liberty to disregard it."<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 98dmatp66n1an65c9qzhkxhc189cud5 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/475 104 701869 15135708 8177418 2025-06-14T22:37:39Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, PORTB → PORTE, removed: � (14) 15135708 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>4.60 FEDERAL aEPORTEP,. ■ Maxhbimer V, Meyee and another.

Wheregoods, that had been sold to be paid for on delivery, were shipped in the name of the vendors, a shipping receipt given to them, and a bill of lading subsequent!/ given to the vendee, who then absconded, held, tiiat upon the refusai of the master to give the vendors a bill of lading, they could recover against the vessel the value of the goods without a demand ; and that, as the vessel was in navigable waters, the tort vras maritime iu its character, for which an action could be brought in the district court. W. W. Goodrich, for libellants. L. Ullo, for claimant. Benedict, D. J. The facts in this case are as follows : In September last one Theodore Michel agreed, through a broker, to pur- chase of the libellants 167 barrels of resin, the resin to be shipped on the bark Ferreri in the name of the libellants, they to take the ship's receipt and de- liver the same to Michel upon his paying for the goods. Accordingly, the libellants directed Johnson & Hammond, the keepers of a yard where the libellants had resin stored, to deliver 167 barrels of resin to the bark Ferreri on their account. Johnson & Hammond sent the goods to the bark, where they were received by the mate, who gave in return a shipping receipt stating the receipt of the goods in question in good order from Johnson & Hammond on board the bark Ferreri for account of Tolar & Hart. After the goods had thus been placed on board the bark, Michel, who Was agent for the bark in this port, procured the master to issue to him, as shipper, a bill of lading for the goods so delivered, and then absconded without paying the libellants for them, although payment had been demanded, accompanied by a tender of the shipping receipt. After the departure of Michel, Tolar & Hart demanded of the master that he issue to them a bill of lading for the goods iii question, a<3companying the same with a tender of the shipping receipt. The master refused, upon the ground that he had already issued a bill of lading for the goods to Michel, whereupon iolar & Hart libelled the vessel. Upon these facts it is plain to be seen that Tolar & Hart had no intention to part with their goods until the same were paid for. This intention they carried into eiiect by causing the goods to be placed on board the vessel in their name, and by taking the shipping receipt for the goods as received by the vessel on their acconnt.

This mode of unloading was evideutly adopted without regard to the interests or rights of the vessel, and solely because it suited the purpose of the consignees. The vessel had the right, under the law and her charter, to quick dispatch, and this was not given her. My conclusion, then, is that the consignees had the right to take 24 hours, excluding Sunday, in which to furnish a dock and begin un- loading, and as the Gook arrived Saturday morning, they were not obliged to begin unloading until Monday morning, so there is no ground for complaint against the respondents for not beginning to iinload earlier than Monday morning. But I further find from the proof that there was an unreasonable delay of two days after the unloading commenced, for which the libellants should be compen- sated; and, from the proof in the case, I fix the rate of compensation at $60 a day. There will, therefore, be a decree in favor of the libel- lants for $120, and the costs of the case. The Waltee M. Fleming. (District Court, E. D. New York. September 28, 1881.) 1. Equitt— Djelat.

Fleming from Cornelius Vanolinda, who now bas the same, and give it to the libellant. The facts are largely in dispute, according to the libellant's testi- mony. He being the owner and in possession of this boat in July, 1874, at Eochester, New York, made an agreement with one Charles Vanolinda to sell the boat for a certain sum — $150 down, and the bal- ance within 30 days.

It may be by a ratable portion of the value of the property saved, or it may be a sum in gross. The value of the property at the time is not fixed by the agreement. It is agreed that the boat cost $4,000 and the repairs $2,000; that she was insured for $5,000; and that recently, in negotiations for her pur- chase, claimanta held her at $12,000; but what changes had been made in the value does not appear, or whether the boat was in fact worth that sum is not stated. It is agreed that the costs and repairs up to that time amounted to $6,000, and it is the value at that time and not subsequently that must be taken as a basis, if value is considered. It seems to me that, whether the amount be considered in gross or ratably according to value, $500 is .a fair compensation to libellant foi his services, The service was not long, nor is it claimed that there was much hazard. Libellant was the discoverer of the fire and mainly instrumental in the rescue. He is therefore entitled to a greater compensation than Stricker, who came to his aid. The watohman, whose dereliction of duty caused the danger, can claim nothing. Libellant will be allowed the sum of $500 and fuil costs, for which let a decree be entered.

The assignee in bankruptcy was chosen on Mardi 25, 1875. On the nineteenth day of April, 1875, he applied to this court for an order upon the sheriff to show cause why the balance of $611.39 should not be paid to him as assignee. the order was refused by Judge Blatchford, who indorsed upon the papers that the relief mnst be obtained by plenary suit. The money in the sheriff's hands stands in the place of goods which were already subject to the lien of the judgment at the time of the commencement of the proceedings in bankruptcy. If the judgment was collusive, and designed to give a fraudulent preference, as alleged, it was voidable at the suit of the assignee. Such a suit by him to displace the apparent legal lien of the judgment, and to recover the property for the use of the general creditors, would be within section 5057 of the Revised Statutes, because against a person claiming an adverse interest touching rights of, property transferable to or vested in the assignee. Had the assignee possessed himself of the goods or the proceeds, notwithstand- ing this lien, the judgment creditor must have been limited to two years in which to assert his right to the goods; and the assignee must be held limited to a like period from the time of his discovery of the fraud or illegality. Bailey v. Olover, 21 Wall. 342. The papers on file, referred to on this motion, show that in April, 1876, the assignee, in his original application for the balance of the money, waa apprised of the alleged collusion and fraudulent charac- ter of the judgment. The affidavit of Clark, the attorney of the peti- tioning creditors, not only stated the fact, but gave some evidence of it. No suit, however, bas ever been commenced to assaii the legal lien of this judgment. More than six years have elapsed since the charge of its fraudulent cbaracter was made by the assignee, and since he was apprised by the court that it could be assailed only by ple- nary suit. The assignee bas appeared in opposition to this motion, but there is no evidence that he is any better prepared to commence such a suit now than he was six years ago, or is even proposing to recover this money. No reason appears why such suit should not have been commenced long ago, if it was desired or intended to contest the lien of this judgment, except, possibly, the assignee's want of the necessary funds to do so, which it must be assumed the creditors were not willing to advance. This cannot extend the statute of limitations. The object of the statute was to secure the speedy liquidation of bank- rupts' estates; The ; injunction of December 8, 1874, was not an injunction upon the assignee's proceedings, but was for the benefit of the assignee to be thereafter chosen.

It is insisted by the complainants : (1) That their proofs in the present case show the falsity ot the testimony on which it is attempted to establish the existence of the Pernot machine, or, at least, that part of it embracing the mechanism which anticipates the Spiinœ patent anterior to the date of the complainants' invention. (2) That, eveu if its prier existence is admitted, the mechanism is not an anticipation of the specifications and claims of the Spring patent. 1. As to the first point, respecting the actual existence of the Per- not machine, it is a well-settled principle that the burden of proof is on the defendant. Pernot, the alleged inventor, testifies that he com- pleted and used it as early as the year 1853, for turning needlea, and that it was substantially in the same condition and contained the same mechanism for curving the shoulders and sharpening the points of the needles at the time of his examination as a witness in this case, as when it was iinished in 1853. The claim of the Spring patent. is for the combination of a griping chuck, by which an article can be so held by one end as to present the other free to be operated upon with a rest preceding the cutting tool, when it is combined with a guide-cam or its equivalent, which modi- fies the movement of the cutting tool, all operating together for the purpose set forth. The distinguishing features of the patent are th& cams or formera for turning the curved shoulders and the points of the sewing-machine needles. The patentees, in their specifications, state that the pattern, e\ which is adjustable by means of the set-screw, n',is pivoted in q, and serves to shape the shank, while the pattern, o', which is adjustable along the length of q, as well as outward from it, serves to form and shape the point. Is there any mechanism found in the Pernot machine which pro- duces either of these resulta, and if so, at what time do the proofs show that it was first attached ? The curved or rounded shoulder to a needle made in this machine, is, doubtless, formed by the wedge, a, which operates to draw back the knife as it approaches the griping chuck; and Pernot, in his examination, atatcs that although he never pointed the needles in the practical use of his lathe, the mechanism was capable of such adjustment that the points could be readily turned. We are then brought to the inquiry, whether the wedge, a, and the bar, b, were in the Pernot lathe prior to the Spring invention in j.857 ? The first witness upon this point is the complainants' expert, Hoadley. He considers the wedge, a, and the bar, b, an evident<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> oawbpgfapdlg7n7diwpjad7cg8ekunc Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/529 104 701924 15135715 8177478 2025-06-14T22:37:45Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, removed: � (8) 15135715 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>514 FEDERAL REPORTER. one term in the me'aning of the act. If, howover, -we are to give any efiect to the words "or extended," in this enactment, it must be that the term for which the letters patent shall be granted originally, and the term for which the letters patent is extended, are two distinct terms. Instead of construing this clause as if it read "all actions shall be brought during the term of the monopoly, or within six years after the expiration thereof," it should be construed as if it read, "all actions shall be brought during the term for which letters patent shall be granted, or during .the term for which letters patent shall be extended, or within six years after the expiration thereof;" "thereof" referring to the original or extended term, as the case may be. It is not true that letters patent run for only one term when the patent is extended. In such a case there are two terms, — the origi- nal term and the extended term, — and, though the law provides that when a patent is extended it shall have the same effect in law as though it had been originally granted for 21 years, that does not change this fact, nor does it change, the fact that the original term was for 14 years, and not 21 yeats. The act does not provide that the two terms shall be considered as one term in law, but simply provides that the extension of a patent shall have the mine effect in law as though it had been originally granted for 21 years. I think congress has, in the clause under consideration, olearly recognized that an extended term and the original term of letters patent are distinct terms. An extended term of letters patent oan have the same effect in law as though it had been granted for 21 years, in the granting of a monopoly, without extending the time of the bar of the statute of limitation on existing causes of action. The patent right is quite distinct from the causes of action which a patentee may have for its infringement, and beeause a patent right may be extended it does not follow that the time within which such causes of action should be brought should also be extended. If we are not correct in our construction of this act, then congress has given the commissioner of patents the power to extend, in his discretion, the time in which the statute of limitation bars existing causes of action. This would be an extraordinary delegation of authority, and one which the courts should hesitate to recognize unless the legislative will was clearly expressed, There is some conflict in the decision as to the proper construction of this clause of the act of 1870, but the weight of authority sustains<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> i4gup5stv00hyi2r2ajwpbsormvv6cn Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/537 104 701932 15135716 13412314 2025-06-14T22:37:46Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: tho → the , TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, FEBBBAL → FEDERAL, BBPO → REPO 15135716 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>522 FEDERAL REPORTER.

In Admiralty. The facts in this case, briefly stafced, are as follows: The stearaboat Guid- ing Star was built in the sunimer of 1878 at the port of Cincinnati, entirely on credit, by Capt. W. B. Miller, who contiuued to be her sole owuer and nuis- ter up to the date of her seizure, in June, 1881. The claims filod against her are as follows: For foreign supplies and repairs, $17,393.33; for home sup- plies and repairs, $14,113.63; for insuranoe premlums, $3,080; for construc- tion claims, $14,684.95; mortgage, $6,000 ; borrowed money, $22,380.64; allow- ance in lieu of a homestead, $500. The borrowed money is classiflable as folio ws: $229 to pay seamen's wages ; $11,029.71 advanced towards building the boat; and $11,051.93 to meet the general indebtedness of the boat as the same accrued, including supplies, witges, insurance premiums, and payments on notes given for the building of the boat. Ail the notes, including those given on construction claims, were drawn up in the name of the boat and her owner. No dispute whatever existed as to the correctness of any of tiie claims. The total indebtedness of the boat at the time of her seizure was $76,652.52.

Now, if the lien created by the statute of the state for these claims, when furniahed in the home port, is of equal dignity with liens given by the general admiralty law, it follows that the mortgage must be postponed to them also. Aside from this reason- ing the weight of authority would seem in favor of the priority of liens for home supplies to that of a mortgage. The William T.

Under these provisions this court bas been accustomed to. order reimbursement of the legal fees, and dis- bursements of the ofScers necessarily advanced by or on account of the bankrupt for the ordinary proceedings in bankruptcy, including proceedings for a discharge.

Eule 29 expressly declares that "funds deposited with the register, marshal, or clerk shall, in all cases where they corne out of the bank- rupt's estate, be considered as a part of such estate." The item of $50 now asked to be reimbursed to the bankrupt was such a deposit with the clerk ; and, if it cornes out of the bankrupt's estate, it formed a part of that estate to which the bankrupt cannot have any claina wbatever.

Wil- son uniess it is in putting the meat while warm with cooking into the box or case. Can that be said to be patentable as a part of the mode of preserving meat, even if it be conceded it had never been doue before? We think net. No more than if, prier to the date of the William J. Wilson patent, in order to preserve meat, it had never been put into a can or case thoroughly cooked. Neither of them seems to require ingenuity or the exercise of the inventive faculty. It is manifest, when we consider what was known at the date of the William J. Wilson patent, that these or other methods could be adopted of putting the meat into the case or can for preservation without encroaching upon the domain of the invention of any one. There can be no doubt that, within a few years past, the metnod of preserving meat adopted by William J. Wilson has caused the article to be extensively used and sold in the marketsof this and other coun- triea. That argument has been pressed with great force upon the court in this case. It may be admitted that, in all doubtful cases involving the validity of a patent, the fact that a mode described in the patent has gone into extensive use has and often will induce courts to decide in favor of the patent. But, while this is so, courts ought not, merely because of such use, to sustain a patent. The rights of the public are to be protected as well as those of individuals, and a monopoly should not be allowed uniess the right to it is clearly shown. But the true ex- planation of the success which has attended this and similar modes of preserving meat may be in the fact that there has been a tendency in the public of late years to use all kinds of canned meats and fruits to a much greater extent than formerly, owing to the increased care and skill in their preparation and packing ; and we think all William J. Wilson and those, who act under him can claim is, that they have been particalarly careful in selecting, preparng, seasoning, cook- ing, and canning their meat, by which it has acquired a high rep- utation ; and upon that, in our opinion, they must rely, and not upon a monopoly under the patent law. The John A. Wilson patent, of October 23, 1877, reissue No. 7,923, is for "an improvement in metallic cases for containing cooked meats, * * *" and, as he describes it, — " Consists in a pyramidal-shaped can, having rounded corners and both ends slightly flaring, to form shoulders, against which the head or end pieces rest. * * * A represents the body of my can made in the form of a truncated pyramid, with rounded corners, and of any desired number of sides, though I<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> rpr4dqpkvlm6wmoxk2tg9mwo0wqg3ky Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/575 104 701970 15135721 8177527 2025-06-14T22:37:51Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EPORTB → EPORTE, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (7) 15135721 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>560 FEDERAL REPORTER. any conduct on her part insinuated, that the invention was in any degree her own, but allowed these men to invest their money in the procurement of the patent, and Clark pay for the unsold half of the patent, upon the understanding — to which she seems to have been as fully a party as her husband — that he was the inventor of the duster to be covered by the patent. It seems to me that the proof shows that Mrs. Hibbard, in allowing her husband to deal "with Curwin, Sauter, and Clark as the original and first inventor of this devioe, has 80 far conceded or admitted him to be the original inventor thereof as that she should be estopped from now claimingotherwise, and especially claiming that she, and not her husband, was the inventor. If there were no other features in the case, therefore, than the con- duct of Mrs. Hibbard towards the persons with whom her husband dealt, I should think it enough to cancel this patent as against the patent previously issued to him. But the case is, perhaps, susceptible of solution upon another ground. It appears from the proof that George W. Hibbard, for some time prior to the alleged invention described in his patent, had been engaged in the manufacture of dusters from turkey feathers, by setting them in their natural condition into a handle so as to make a brush or duster; that some little time prior to the tenth of February, 1874, he conceived the idea of making a better duster by softening the stems of turkey feathers and rendering them more pliable, so as to make a feather duster which would supersede or take the place of dusters ihen and theretofore made from ostrich feathers, — his idea being that, if he could make turkey feathers, or the feathers of our common fowls, pliable, he could use them in place of foreign feathers, and make as good, if not a better, duster. He experimented some time in this direction, with chemicals, for the purpose of softening the stem or rib of these feathers, and not succeeding to his satisfac- tion in any of these experiments, was discussing the subject on one occasion with his wife, when she suggested to try cutting or shaving down the stem of the feathers, so as to make them pliable and limber. The suggestion was at once acted upon, and a duster made which proved satisfactory, and the patent issued to his assignees was obtained for this device as the invention of George W. Hibbard. Mrs. Hibbard's sole claim to the invention covered by her patent, which is the same as that covered by the patent of her husband, is that the suggestion or idea of cutting or trimming these feathers down, 80 as to make them limber, first came from her, and upon this fact she elaimed and obtained the patent in eontroversy.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> mgx13o9kfj4e6t14m0bwjn34vuaz3dn Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/613 104 702008 15135724 8177571 2025-06-14T22:37:54Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, PORTEB → PORTER, FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, removed: � (6) 15135724 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>698 FEDERAL BUPORTER. facts, it is a close question whether the lien lias been waived or not. I confess to a serious doubt on the subject. But, remembering that a court of admiralty is the "ehancery of the seas," and that the libellants have a strong equitable claim upon the forfeited goods for f reight, in view of the fact that the transportation added considerably to their value here, I incline to the opinion that the intent of the own- ers was to discharge the cargo, and not to deliver it, and that the lien for the costs of transportation has not been waived. I am strength- ened in this opinion by the additional facts that the bills of lading have never been surrendered, and no receipt given to the steam-ship for the ore, as is cnstomary in such cases, after delivery. 2. The ore has been forfeited under sections 2839, 286e, of the Ee- vised Statutes. Does such forfeiture carry with it the lienor's interest in the oondemned merchandise ? Some discussion took place between the respective counsel, at the hearing, in regard to the effect which the recent legislation of congress had upon this question. By the third section of the aet of March 2, 1867, (section 2981, Eev. St.,) the col- lector, or other ohief officer of the customs, is authorized, on being notified in writing, by the owner or consignee of any vessel, of a lien for freight on any merchandise imported in such vessel, to refuse the delivery of the same from any publia or bonded warehouse, or other place, in which the same shall be deposited, until proof to his satis- faction shall be produced that the freight has been paid or secured. The provisions of this section were modifled by a substitute passed June 10, 1880, (Supp. to Eev. St. vol. 1, p. 547,) in which the proper officer of the customs, on receiving the said notice of lien for freight, is required, before delivering the merchandise to the importer, owner, or consignee, to give seasonable notice to the parties claiming a lien, and containing the further provision that the possession of the goods by the officers of the customs shall not affect the discharge of such lien. Both the original section and the substitute eontain the clausc : "If merchandise so subject to a lien, regarding which notice has been filed, shall be forfeited to the United States, and sold, the freight due thereon shall be paid from the proceeds of such sale in the same manner as other charges and expenses, authorized by law to be paid therefrom, are paid. " The district attorney insists that as no notice was given to the proper officer of the customs the case does not come within the provisions of the act, and no statutory authority can be invoked to pay the freight out of the proceeds of the sale. The counsel for the petitioners, on the other hand, contends that no notice was required, as none of the iron oce went into a public or bonded warehouse.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 2rwmbkwe2odsabwse8tauod73jfax1c Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/621 104 702016 15135725 8177579 2025-06-14T22:37:55Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: sherifi → sheriff, FBD → FED, EEPORT → REPORT, EDEBAL → EDERAL , EPORTEE. → EPORTER., removed: � (8) 15135725 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>606 FEDERAL REPORTER. the defendants have adduced other and corroborating evidence that bas not been questioned. Davidson, who made the marking plates for Smith, and who is shown to be a reputable man, bas been exam- ined by defendants, and on his examination testified that he had, at or about the time alleged, at Smith 's instance and request, made such plates for Smith as herein previously described ; and his testi- mony is confirmed by the production of one of said plates, which bears every indication of genuineness, and is identified by Smith, Lee, and Davidson as one of the plates made by the latter and used by Smith in his business. There is, in fact, no ground on which to doubt the truth of this part of the evidence. If, then, said plate was made at the time and for the purpose mentioned, it follows, as the night follows the day, beyond all reasonable doubt, that it was so used. But this is not all. The conclusions reached and announced in the preoeding paragraph are confirmed by the positive testimony of other witnesses. Thomas Y. Huddleston, who was at the time of his examination, and for nearly eight years prior thereto, sherifff of his county, and who, so far as this record discloses, notwithstanding the attempt to impeach his credibility, is a reputable citizen, testi^ fies that he had purchased plug tobacco from Smith about that time with Smith's name impressed upon it ; and he is confirmed by M. W. Wright, one of complainants' witnesses, who, on cross-examina- tion, says that Smith showed him two plugs of tobacco so marked, which Smith at the time represented to be his work. This evidence, supplementing, as it does, the testimony of Smith, Lee, and David- son, makes a clear case of anticipation. Yet complainants contend that Smith never perfected and reduced his alleged discovery to any practical use; that it was merely experi- mental and incomplete ; and, in support of this theory, they further insist that Smith could not, and did not, impart as fine a finish to his tobacco as was given to the tobacco finished under complainants' process; and that for this and other insuperable diffieulties in his way he abandoned the invention in an incompleted condition. I cannot, howevea*, concur in this view of the facts. Smith discov- ered the "process." This he seemed thoroughly to understand, and having applied it successfully to one or two plugs, it required no inventive genius to apply it to others. It is not important that he did not do this. He did not have the neceasary facilities, nor the means with which to obtain them. Besides, the seizure of his factory by the government, some eight months after his first experiment was<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 5fzn2q9kjxdconyprba03rglwibxq2w Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/623 104 702018 15135726 8177581 2025-06-14T22:37:56Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EBPO → REPO, EPOET → EPORT, ORTBB → ORTER, removed: � (9) 15135726 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>608 FEDERAL REPORTER. aient. Densmore v. Schofield, 4 Fish. 148; Prouty v. Ruggles, 16 Pet. 341 ; Eames v. Godfrey, 1 Wall. 78. The complainant maintains, in the first place, that the defendant's pen is an infringement of claims 1, 2, and 4 of reissued letters patent No. 9,716, which are as follows: "(1) In a fouiitain pen, the combination of a tubular point, a spindle adapted thereto, and connected to an independently-moving spindle carrier, said spindle carrier being adjustable in relation to a iixed part of the pen, whereby the movement of the apindle may be changea, and the wear thereof compensated, as set forth. (2) The combination of the spindle carrier, C, loosely-attached spindle, B, and ink-delivery tube. A, substantially as de- scribed. (4) The combination of the spindle carrier, C, spindle, B, and adjust- Ing screw, E, substantially as described." It is not contended that Cross was the inventer of the principal elements of the fountain pen, such as the air tube, gravitating valve, spindle or needle, etc. ; but the improvements worked out by Cross in this patent are, in brief , putting a screw in the upper end of the valve or carrier to regulate the rise of the valve f rom its seat ; putting a screw in the lower end of the valve or carrier to regulate the length of the needle ; and attaching the needle to the valve by a swivel joint, to give a freer play to the ueedle. A glance at the defendant's pen shows that it is different in form and construction. The valve which regulates the supply of ink in the complainant's pen being raised by pressing the point of the spindle or writing pen upon the paper, thus letting in the ink, and which falls by the action of gravity upon its seat, when no such pressure is exerted, thus cutting off the flow, and which was deemed indispensable in all the earlier fountain pens, is done away with in the pen of the defendant. A spiral spring, to which the needle is attached, is substituted, and this spring inserted in a small tube, which is securely held by a supporting post. No screw is attached to the lower end of the spring to regulate the length of the needle, and it is questionable, to say the least, whether the screw at the upper end of the spring, which serves to plug up at that end the small tube which holds the spring, performs the same func- tion as in the complainant's patent. A combination which includes as one of its principal elements a valve or spindle carrier of the kind described in the above claims in the complainant's invention, can hardly be said to be the same as a combination which dispenses with this, and substitutes another ele- ment of entirely different character, not to mention other less impor- tant changes in the construction of defendant's pen.

To say that this attachment is not a fflaterial part of the patented eom- bination, considering its importance in the arrangement, and the lan- guage of the specification, would, we think, be going too far. At least, the point is sufficiently doubtful to dispose of this motion, whatever may be the final .conclusion after a full hearing. Again, it is chargea that the defendant bas infringed another pat- ent granted to the complainant, dated May 11, 1880, and numbered 227,416, wherein the claim is, — " In a stylograpMc fountain pen, a spindle having a tip of indiutn, or like hafd substance, in coœbination with a tubular point of comparatively soft metal, the spindle being arrangea in the point to project slightly and bear upon the paper, substantially as set forth." The defendant, in answer to this charge, introduces affidavits seek- iilg to show prior use or knowledge by others bei'ore the invention. The complainant. Cross, states in bis affidavit "that be is unable to give the exact date of bis invention, but it was probably in the spring or Bummer of 1878." On the other band, the defendant produces the affidavits of James M. Clark, a manufacturer of fountain pens, and of Charles H. Court, an employe, who sv?ear to a similar use of. indium upon other fountain pens prior to the middle of 1877. James M. Clark says : " The pens in which the indium-tipped needle was used all had a tubular point, from which the needle projected, composed of metal much softer than the indium, and the needle had an endwise movement, and was arranged in the point to project slightly from or beyond the end of the tubular point and bear upon the paper." In the affidavit of Charles H. Court we have also a similar descrip- tion of the use of indium, both statements detailing the same use in substance as that specified in complainant's patent. Judging from the evidence before the court, we cannot but say that some doubt is thrown upon the validity of this patent. A fuller investigation may, of cburse, dispel this. While it is unquestionably true that, these things being proved,— namely, a patent, long posses- sion, and infringement,- — the party is entitled,^rma/rtcie, to an injunc- tion; yet even where this is shown the question will be, in cases of opposing evidence, wbether this right bas been displaced by the<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> rcc9rvvor8hmky8pqxip8kjqghwqqtl Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/643 104 702038 15135728 8177603 2025-06-14T22:37:58Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EBPO → REPO, removed: � (10) 15135728 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>628 FEDERAL REPORTER. Louis, through the negligence of the defendant, either acting directly through its immediate employes or acting by other agents with whom it had contracted for intermediate service, then said railroad is liable. The varions matters presented in evidence conoerning the relations of the Indianapolis & St. Louis Eailroad and the Union Eailway & Transit Company call upon the court to determine, as a question of law, whether — First, the liability of the Indianapolis & St. Louis Eailroad ceased, as a common carrier, at or before the time of the accident; and, second, whether the Union Eailway & Transit Com- pany had at that time imposed upon it, also, the duties of a common carrier. The duties of the Indianapolis & St. Louis Eailroad Company to the plaintiff as a common carrier, if the faots are as alleged, did not cease nntil the arrivai of the train at St. Louis, although it may have entered into a contract with others to furnish the motive power for hauling the train over the bridge and tunnel. If it was not one of the Connecting roads for a through route, its liability ended at the termination of its route. As to the Union Eailway & Transit Company, its liabilities are not those of a common carrier. It had entered into no personal contract with the plaintiff, tinless it was one of the common carriers in the through route. But the charter of the latter company does not make it a common carrier as to operations in East St. Louis, nor do any of the contracts produced. Hence, the Union Eailway & Transit Company is not liable to the plaintiff for any injury sustained, unless it was guilty of direct negligence or unskilfulness, causing the said injury. If that company did, through such negligence or unskilful- ness, cause the injury alleged, it must respond in damages ; other- wise, not. Thus, the jury will decide — First, did the plaintiff sustain any injury ; and, if so, what is the amount of damages to be awarded him. Second, whether the injury was sustained by plaintiff from the negligence of the Indianapolis & St. Louis Eailroad, or from the negligence of its agents. Third, as the liability of the Union Eail- way & Transit Company rests upon the degree of negligence of which it was guilty, whether its direct negligence or unskilfulness caused the injury. It was bound, not to the extraordinary diligence required of a common carrier, but to the ordinary diligence and skill which its employment needs. It must be understood that, so far as the plaintiff is concerned.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 2imyk333w7oiq0mgqy18v1u44ev1y2z Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/645 104 702040 15135729 8177605 2025-06-14T22:37:59Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: wlio → who, AIi → AL , lowa, → Iowa,, removed: � (6) 15135729 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>630 PEDBBAL BEPOBtBR. the other carriers, The flrst carrier undertakes the service for the entire transit, and the others are but the agents of the first, to carry out the uiider- taking ; and hence, for any non-f easance in carry in g it out, they are, upon vvell- settled grounds, liable, not to the passenger, for they are net in any privity of contract with liim, but to the flrst carrier, for whom they have undertakeu the service.

But a direct injury to the passenger stands on a different footing frora the loss of baggage. Here the passenger has, both under the English and the American doctrine, an action agaiust the carrier on whose line the injury was received. It is a case of thebreaeh of a contract, and also a case of mere tort; for the passenger would have an action although there were no con- tract, and the undertaking to carry him were gratuitous.

But it is, after all, essentially but a branch of the main suit, and since that suit was not removable at the stage -when a removal was attempted, I am of the opinion that the garnishee proceedings could not be transferred to this court. This conclusion is supported by authorities which are entitled to weight as bearing upon the question. In Weehs v. Billings, 65 N, H. 371, the question arose whether a defendant under trustee process, — which in its purpose and general character, as existing in New Hampshire, is analogous to garnishee process or procedure in this state — could remove the proceeding to the federal court, there to be tried as a suit against him; and it was held that he could not. In the opinion of the court it is, among other things, said that — " Although the trustee may in some sense be regarded as a defendant, and the question of hisliability be tried by a jury or by the court, he has, nevertheless, never been regarded by the courts as a defendant, in the proper and usual sense of the term, and, in common parlanee, is known and ealled by the name of trustee, while his alleged crediter is ealled the principal defendant. They are not sued in the same right, and are not answerable to the plaintift in the same manner. The principal is sued on account of some alleged injury which the plaintift has sustained by his act or neglect. But, as between the plaintili and trustee, there is no privity of contract, or other act or neglect by which the plaintifl has sustained damage. The property and credits of the principal de- fendant in his hands are attached, and he is summoned to show cause why execution should not issue against him for the damage which the plaintiff may recover against the principal defendant. The process as to him is rather to be regarded as an attachment of the defeiidant's property in his hands; and even if this were an action in which the state and federal courts had orig- inal concurrent jurisdiction of the funds of the defendant in the hands Of the trustee, the state court, being the one before whom proceedings were first had, and whose jurisdiction flrstattached,would retain its jurisdiction to the exclu- sion of the other court, if the only controversy were as to the disposition of the funds so attached." The removal in the case cited was attempted to be made under the second clause of section 639 of the Revised Statutes, but the discus- sion of the question by the court, from whose opinion the foregoing extract is made, applies with force to the question as it arises in the case at bar, since, under all the statutes authorizing removals of causes to the federal court, the proceeding reraoved must be a suit in the sense of those statutes; and it was not contendcd on the argu-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> k1ixyv5ns7wjdporkh2i69f4ksbdafs Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/652 104 702047 15135731 8177612 2025-06-14T22:38:01Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: lowa → Iowa, removed: � (9) 15135731 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>PEATT V. ALBRIGHT. 637 ment that the act of 1875 is in that regard different from the judi- ciary act of 1789, or the removal acts of 1866 and 1867. In Iowa an "oocupying claimant" of land, who is an unsuecessful defendant in an ejectment suit, bas the right to retain possession, after Judgment against him, until the value of his improvements are as- certained, provided he files his petition therefor in the main action after judgment, but before the plaintiff causes it to be executed. In Chapman v. Barger, i Dill. 557, it was held that this proceeding by petition, for ascertainment of the value of improvements upon land, was not removable to the federal court under the act of March 3, 1875 ; and for the reason that it was essentially part of and ancil- lary to the main suit, which was at an end, judgment having been rendered therein in the state court. So, with equal force, I think it may be said of the case at bar, that the garnishee proceeding is a dependence of and ancillary to the principal suit, which has been brought to an end by judgment in the state court. In Webber v. Htimphries, 8 Eep. 66, an execution upon a judgment in a state court against a corporation was returned niilla bona, and a motion was then made under the statutes of Wisconsin for an execu- tion against one of the stockholders. The stockholder then took the necessary steps to remove the case into the federal court, and a motion to remand was sustained on the ground that the proceeding sought to be removed was a mere sequence or dependency, or proceeding sup- plemental to the main action. InBank v. Turnbull e Go. 16 Wall. 190, after judgmeut recovered in a state court, an execution was issued and levied upon property in the possession of the judgment debtor, but the ownership of which was claimed by third parties. The elaimants, Turnbull & Co., thereupon applied to the court under the statutes of the state for leave to intervene in the original suit, and to order an issue to try the right of property. Leave was granted, and an order was made for trial by jury of the question whether the judgment debtor or Turnbull & Co. owned the property. Thereupon, the elaimants of the property removed the case to the federal court, and the question decided by the supreme court was whether the case was thus removable. Mr. Justice Swavoe. speaking for the court, said : ••Conceding it [meaning the proceedifig instituted to try the right of prop- erty] to be a suit, and not essentially a motion, we think it was merely aux- iliary to the original action, a graft upon it, and not an independent and separate litigation.

The contest could not have arisen but for the judgtnent and execution, and the satisfaction of the former would at once have extinguished the controversy between the parties. The proceeding was necessarily insti- tuted in the court where the judgment was rendered, and whence the execu- tion issued. No other court, according to the statute, could have talcen juris- diction. It was provided to enable the court to determine whether its process had, as was claimed, been misapplied, and what right and justice required should be done touching the property in the hands of its ofHcer. It was intended to enable the court, the plaintifl in the original action, and the claim- ant, to reach the final and proper resuit by a process at once speedy, informai, and inexpensive. That it was only auxiliary and incidental to the original suit, is, we think, too clear to require discussion." In accordance with these views the court below was directed to remit the case to the state court, and nothing need be added to the foregoing extract from the opinion of the court in the case cited, to «mphasize the analogy upon principle between that case and the case at bar. In Barrow v, Hunton, 99 U. S. 80, an action of nullity was insti- tuted in a state court to set aside a judgment that had been reoovered in the same court wherein that action was brought. The case was lemoved to the federal court, and the question decided by the supreme court was whether the proceeding to procure nullity of the judgment was to such an extent an independent, separate suit as to make it removable. It was held that it was rather in the nature of a supple- mentary proceeding, so connected with the original suit as to form an incident to it and substantially a continuation of it, and was not transferable to the federal court as a suit of which that court could take cognizance. The statute of Wisconsin relating to garnishment, as we have eeen, provides for garnishee proceedings as well after the issuing of an exe- cution as before judgment, and if in this case execution had been issued, and the proceeding against the garnishee had taken place after that event, I think it would hardly be eontended, in the light of the authorities, that such a proceeding could be removed to the federal court any more than a proceeding purely supplementary to execution could be so removed. And when we consider the essential character of a garnishee proceeding, I do not think the fact that the action against the garnishee was instituted while the principal suit was pending, and before judgment and execution, lends any additional force to the argument in favor of removal.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> rw87yv2kj4hssjlir27hjo8bkn6q08g Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/667 104 702062 15135733 8177628 2025-06-14T22:38:03Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTEB → PORTER, KBPOR → REPOR, removed: � (6) 15135733 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>652 FEDERAL REPORTER. connected to an immovable part of the frame, and every other alter- nate slide is connected to a swinging cros?-bar, which hangs down so as to have a rotating motion back and forth in the arc of a circle by reason of its being hung in bearings in the sides of the frame. A rod extends from nearly the middle of the width of the swinging cross- bar to the rear part of the frame, behind the Une from which the shoes are suspended, which rod is supported in the center of its lengthj and terminates at ita rear end in a handie, so that an operator can work it, and by pulling it shift simiiltaneously all the shoes that are attached to the swinging cross-bar. Two coiled springs are so arranged that when the rod is pulled the springs are compressed, and when the rod is released the action of the springs tends to throw the swinging cross-bar, and the shoes attached to it, towards the front of the frame again, restoring them to the position from which the pull- ing of the rod moved them. Thus, only alternate shoes are shifted, but the advantage of simultaneously changing the relative positions of the toes of the shoes to each other, and thus making a wider space in a straight line between any two toes at one time than at another, is secured, as in the plaintifif's arrangement. In the defendants' machine the shoes are so set that their toes are never in a straight line across, but, when nearest to each other, are Bomewhat ont of a straight line, and the pulling of the rod causes the distance between them to increase. The shoes which move, in increasing such distance, do so through the rotating motion to and fro of the swinging cross-bar to which they are attached, such motion being imparted by the pulling, at the rear of the machine, of the rod attached to the swinging cross-bar. In the plaintiff's machine the shoes which move in increasing such distance do so through the rotating motion to and fro of the crank-shaft to which they are attached, such motion being imparted by the pushing, at the rear of the machine, of the rod that carries the rack, the rod being worked by a lever. It makes no difference, so far as the use of the real invention of Davis is concerned, that in the defendants' machine only alternate shoes are shifted, and not all the shoes, and that the shoes which are not shifted are fastened to an unmoving bar, and that the actuating rod is in the length of the swinging cross-bar, and not at one end of it, and that the rotating motion of the points where the shoes are attached is accompanied by a hanging down of the swing- ing cross-bar, instead of having the bearings in the line of its axis, and that the actuating rod is pulled directly at its rear end instead of being pushed through a lever, and that the shoes are retracted by<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> bvfx06d4qzq37z652b9cmb4pm7zm75z Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/669 104 702064 15135734 14627746 2025-06-14T22:38:04Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: AIi → AL , DEEAL → DERAL, POBT → PORT, removed: � (7) 15135734 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>654 FEDERAL aEPORTEE. that this shifting could not be produced in Powers' apparatiis by an operator riding on the machine, nor without stopping the motion of the machine. There was no rod or means of actuating the sliding cross-bar, except to take hold of it. by the hand, and slide it and fix it in place by setting movable bolts. Davis' actuating lever bas eonnected with it a spring-loeking lever, so arranged that both levers can be grasped at once ; and, by pressing the locking lever towards the other lever, a catch is unloeked, so that the main lever can be moved. In the defendant's machine there is a locking device on the actuating rod at about the center of its length. This automatie sim- ultaneous shifting device is a marked feature in both the plaintiff's and defendant's arrangements, and is wanting in the foregoing structure of Powers. Powers put the foregoing shifting arrangement "onto two or may be three drills" which he had on hand. He testifies to the use of two of them, and says they worked perfectly so far as changing the rank of the drill was concerned. He macle a different style of drill for 1863, and then ceased to make drills. We inow corne to what is more material. Powers says that "on one or ffiore" of the machines containing the foregoing shifting arrangement he had the following device : He attached chaina to the iwo^rias of the sliding cross-bar and underneath, which chains went f oriward to the semi-discs of a rock-shaft in front of the front beam, to which was attached a hand4ever adapted to be reached and operated by the driver on the seat of the machine. By pulling this lever backward, the rock-shaft took up the chains, and brought the rear beatn forward to the single-rank position. The lever was se- -cured in position by a pin in a semi-circular guide, centering on the axis of the rock-shaft. When it was desired to double rank the shovels, the pin was removed, and the lever was allowed to sweep forward, which permitted the rear cross-beam to draw backward, when the drill was in motion, to double rank again. Powers illustrates this arrangement by a drawing marked "Powers, No. 2." Powers says that he does not know what became of these drills; that he had taken out a patent on grain drills in 1862, before ;making said application ; that he bas no recoDection of applying for a patent for the hand-lever shifting device; that that was got up aft'er the application of November 10, 1862, was filed; and that he thinks he filed an application for another patent on grain-drills after the application of November 10, 1863. He testifies as follows :<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 0i92f9d8htnyhg8xiqd0qpsuv278f7g Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/673 104 702068 15135735 8177635 2025-06-14T22:38:05Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EEPORT → REPORT, removed: � (8) 15135735 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>658 FEDEIIAL REPORTES. in the drawinga of his patent. It had no crank-shaft, but had a bar with short cross-bars fixed to it, and cross-arms extending between the oross-bars and drag-bars attached to these arms, and he diapensed with the rack and pinion, and prolonged one of the cross- bars near the middle of the length of the first-named bar, and carried a rod from it to the rear of the machine, to the lower end of a hand-lever on a shaft from which the shoes were hung, and so worked the shoes ; the first-named bar turning as a shaft in bearinga, and each alter- nate drag-bar being so attached to the first-named bar as to have, when attached, a rotating motion in the arc of a circle in a direction opposite to that of its adjacent drag-bar. An unsuccessful attempt is made to show that Davis' shifting arrangement, as embodied by him in machines, was impracticable and worthless. But it is shown to have been practically applied in the form of model No. 2, and in other forms. Davis is clearly shown to have been the firat person to ihake a suc- cessful machine for changing the shoes of a grain-drill into substan- tially two lines from substantially one Une, by a shifting movement applied to any of the shoes by mechanism operating on and from the rear of the machine, and worked without stopping the machine or seriously interfering with its operation, Hia invention and patent are entitled to a liberal construction, daims 1, 2, and 3 of the re- issue are not anticipated, and the re-issue is nofc invalid because for a different invention from the original. As to claims 4, 5, and 6 of the re-issue they are, inf ringed, and the foregoing view of the statm of the Davis invention shows ,that those claims are not anticipated by the Jessup apparatus, or by any other prior structure. There is a patentable combination and co-aetion between the devices for shifting the shoes and the lifting devicea for raising the shoes, either simultaneously or individually. It may often be neeessary, after shifting has been deternained upon, and while it is in process of being effeoted, to suddenly raise one or more, or all, of the movable shoes, because of some apparent obstruc- tion in the path. So a compound motion of the toe of the shoe re- Bults, composed of a backward or forward motion, and an upward motion, resulting from the co-action of shifting and lifting. As the compound motion is a resultant of the two forces, so the two forces act in combination to produce the compound motion. There mu!st be a decree for the plaintiffs for an account and a per- petuai injunction, with costs.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> cwycdp3d79rncavfez54sikhrpa8fnn Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/681 104 702076 15135736 8177644 2025-06-14T22:38:06Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EPORTB → EPORTE, removed: � (13) 15135736 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>66e FEDERAL REPORTES.

In Admiralty. Sc/iMyier (f Xrcwfr, for libellants; W.>H; Condon, R. S. Tuttle, and Mr. Mitchell, for respondents. ' BiiODGfETT, D. J. This is a libel by the owners of the steam canal- boat Montauk against the sfceam-propeller Buckeye, for damages by a, collision in the watpjs of the south branch of the Chicago rirer, between the Buckeye and the Montant, on the evening of Augast 19, 1880, whereby the Montauk was sunk and her cargo proved a total loBS to its owners. Norton & Co. file the libel in their own behalf, as owners of the Montauk, for the damages and demurrage sustained by them as such owhers, and also in behalf of the insuranoe company who had issued 'a policy to them upon the cargo, and who have paid for the cargo as a'total loss. The claim on the part of the libellants is that the col- lision was ocoasioned by reason of the negligent handiitig of the Buckeye while she was proceeding downthe river; while the respond- ents, the owners of the Buckeye, insist that the collision was wholly occasioned by negligence on the part of those in charge of the Mon- tauk. It appears from the proof, and is undisputed, that the collis- ion occurred in the river near the south line of Allen's slip, where the river is about 130 feet wide from dock to dock; and on the partof the libellants it is claimed that the Montauk was on the west side of the center of the river, ahd within 15 or 20 feet of the- west bank; while on the part of the respondents it is contended that the Montauk was, by reason of the negligence of those in charge of her, in the middle or east of the middle of the river at the time she was struck by the Buckeye.

In Fief cher v. Peck, 6 Cranch, 87, by consent the pleadings were amended by giving substance to a plea otherwise bad. Numerous cases can be cited where cases have been remanded by the supreme court to allow amendment, none disputing the power or authority of the appellate court to allow the amendment, but alleg- ing the practiee against it. 8 How. 610, before cited. So that the power of the appellate court to allow amendments may be taken as established, and it remains to be determined only whether there is any well-settled practiee of this court against it, and requir- ing a remanding of the case to do substantial justice. This court is mainly an appellate court for admiralty and revenue cases, and it is only under the bankrupt law that it has any other appellate jurisdic- t:on of any moment. In the two former classes of appeals the prac-, tice is well settled to allow the amendments. In the last class there is no practiee settled that has been called to my attention. Section 636, Eev. St., would seem to give authority to the circuit court to try every appeai case de novo, as it may direct such judgment, decree, or order to be rendered, etc., as the justice of the case may require, I think the amendment was properly allowed in this case, but it should have been on terms which, however, can be corrected in the decree. The motion to strike out is denied, whereupon the complain- antff are entitled to a decree pro confessa, which is granted — the ap- pellants to pay the costs of the district court and the appellees the costs of this court.

I am inclined to think that this constitutional provision was intended to apply only to debts arising in the relation of indi- vidual debtor and creditor, and did not contemplate debts due to the state or the United States. I am not aware of any decision of the state supreme court upor this subject, and.I wili not express a decided opinion as to how far these constitutional exemptions apply to debts due to the state. I fully recognize the doctrine that the federal courts are bound to accept as correct the decisions of the state courts upon all questions arising under the state constitution and laws, when no question of national rights and authority is involved. In the course of my argument I feel that I can with propriety express the inclination of my opinion, as, from observation and expe- rience, I am familiar with the history of the situation, condition, and feelings of the people of the state, and the purposes they had in view at the time they f ormed and adopted the state constitution of 1868. They had just emerged froin a disastrous civil war, which had resulted in the loss of most of their property, and they were greatly embarrassed by indebtedness to individual ereditors, and they desired to secure their homestead and household eiiects, which were to them neces- saries of life, from the ruinous consequences of sale under execu- tion. Previous to the adoption of the constitution varions statutes had been passed by the legislature of the state to stay proceedings in the courts, and to postpone sales of property under executions upon judgments which had been or might be obtained. In interpreting and construing this article of the constitution I think that I can make the reasonable inference that the intent of the people, in the exercise of their rights of sovereignty in framing their organic laws, was permanently to secure their homes and the necessaries of life against the eager grasp of individual ereditors. This intent is made still more manifest by the "iniform course of subsequent legislation upon this subject, as legislative action is generally an index of popular feeling and sentiment. There is a striking analogy and generally an entire harmony between the rules of interpretation of constitutions and those of statutes. The first and fundamental rule in relation to the interpretation of all instru- ments applies to a constitution; that is, to construe them aceording to the sense of the terms and the intention of the parties.

In section 3187 of the Revised Statatea provision is made for ex- ompting certain property from distraint for internal-re venue taxes, and I think that these exemptions might well be extended to all the Jebts due the United States upon collections made under execution ; but this is a matter for the consideration and action of congress, and not for judicial liberality, as the courts must construe and enforce the law as it is written.

The court cannot aid you in your finding upon this question, It is one wholly of fact, to be found from the weight of evidence. The question will be, what do you believe from the evjdence taken as a whole ? How are you fairly convinced from the testimony ? The evidence is apparently conflicting. Whether it be so or not is for you to determine. If you find it conflicting it will be your duty to recon- eile it if you can. If not, then it will be your duty to determine as to what part of it you will give most credit. And this question is not an arbitrary one, or to be solved by any technical rules, but is one resting in the sound discretion of the jury. You are to judge from all the circumstances in evidence, and developed on the trial, the weight to be given to the testimony of each witness. You have heard the witnesses testify, have observed their manner on the stand, have noticed their bearing and disposition or inclination to state the truth or color it. You have observed their bias, if any, their interest, their means of knowledge in reference to the things of which they are oalled to speak, their power of recollection, the consistency or inconsistency of their statements, and how they are corroborated and sustained or (Bontradicted by other testimony, or by the conceded facts in the case. It is from these circumstances, and all others bearing on the question, that you are to determine what witnesses are entitled to most credit, and the weight to be given to the statements of each and all. Evidence is that which satisfies and eonvinces the mind in regard to the real truth of the matters in issue; and if the statements of a •witness haive not this convineing quality the jury is entitled to with- hold from them credit. In fact, they cannot help doing so, because the giving or withholding credence to the statements of another, whether under oath or not,' is not a matter of will or ohoice. The jury are convinced by ^*^hat is fltted from its nature to convince, — that is, b^^ that which illustrates and elucidates the truth, — and the truth is ever the final object of your investigations; but, of course, you are to determine the truth from the evidence given on the trial, not from that whioh you may conceive might have been given. It is claimed, and it may be true, that the government has labored under disadvantage "in having to call witnesses that have been more or less identified with the defendant or under his influence, and when they come upon the stand are what are called "slow" witnesses for the party calling them.

It is conceded that the stamp on the cask was not effaced and obliterated as required by law. The only controverted question of fact which you have to determine is, was the cask empty when discovered by the deputy collector? The affirma- tive allegation is made in the indictment, and is material in constitut- ing the offence charged; and, before a conviction oan properly be had, you must be satisfied from all the evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the allegation is true. As the statute upon which this indictment is founded is highly penal, a general rule of construction requires that it shall be strictly con- strued, and not extended by implication. The words in a statute, if of oommon use, are to be taken in their natural, plain, obvious, and ordinary meaning. The offence charged in this case is a failure to efface and obliterate a stamp "atthe time of emptying such cask," etc. You will consider what is meant by the words "emptying such cask." The ordinary signification of the verb "to empty" is to "make void;" "to exhaust;" "to deprive of the contents." If this ordinary signifi- cation of the Word used in the statute is adopted, the defendant can- not be convicted unless the evidence shows that the cask was com- pletely deprived of its contents — not a pint left. I am not disposed to adopt this strict literal construction, as there is another important rule in the construction of statutes which must be observed. We must consider the object andspiritof the statute, and try to ascertain, from the language of the whole and every part of the statute, what was the intent and purpose of the legislature in making the statute.

As a general rule, the hus- band ia not criminally liable for offenees committed by the wife in his absence, and without his consent or procurement. If he is pres- ent with his wife, and participates in the crime, he may be indicted. In most cases of felony, but not in misdemeanors, where the hus- band is actually or constructively present at the time of the commis- sion of a crime, the wife may be excused, although she participated, on the ground of the actual or presumed command and coercion of the husband compelling her to the commission of the crime. But this is only a presumption of law, and may be rebutted by evidence showing that she was not acting under compulsion, but was a voluntary and principal actor, The rules of law aa to the joint and separate liability of a husband and wife in the commission of crime do not govern this case, and they are onlyreferred to as they were strongly insisted on in the argument of counsel. This is not a crime of commission, but the ofience con- sists in a failure to perform a legal duty. The emptying of the cask was not criminal, — the failure to efface the stamp is the gist of the offence. The defendant had undertaken a public business under a license from the government, and his wife was his agent in earrying on this business^ and she omitted to perform a duty imposed by law upon persons engaged in such licensed employment. As a general rule, a criminal act of a servant or agent does not snb- ject the master or employer to any criminal responsibility, unless he directed or co-operated in such act, or the employment necessarily resulted in such unlawful act. It is, however, well settled that where a master, owing a certain duty to the public, entrusts its performance to a servant, he is responsible criminally for the failure of hia servant to discharge that duty, if the non-performance of such duty is a crime. The wife in this case was the agent of her husband, and he is criminally responsible, if, without reasonable justification and excuse, she failed to perform the duty imposed upon him by the law.

After the bond was executed and the affidavit waa sworn to and signed, it was approved by the district attorney of the United States, and was subseqaently accepted by the proper officer of the treasury, and revenue stamps to a large amount were issued to Ayer. On the trial of the case before the district court the afiSdavit was offered in evidence, and objection was made on the ground that it was not an instrument required by law to be sworn to, and that therefore a false statement contained therein did not constitute perjury. This objection was overruled by the court, to which exception was taken. It was also shown that the plaintiff in error admitted that he was not pecuniarily responsible, but that his wife was responsible as surety, they both having signed the bond. There was evidence also offered tending to show that the statement set forth in the affidavit sworn to by the wife of the plaintiff in error was false as to the value of the real property therein desoribed and as to the title thereto. The plaintiff in error admitted on the trial, by his counsel, that he procured his wife to sign the bond, and that he was responsible for whatever she had done, but denied that she hadcommitted perjury. The oounsel of the plaintiff in error, addressing the court, said, in his presence and hear- ing, "The defendant consents that a verdict of gtlilty may be rendered by the jury," and the court thereupon said, "Does the defendant so consent?" No objection was made, and the plaintiff in error nodded his head in reply to the question of the court, and a verdict of guilty was then directed to be rendered by the jury, which was accordingly done in the presence and hearing of the plaintiff. iri error, without objection or dissent byhim. After the recording of the verdict, a motion was made by the plain- tiff in error for a new trial, and several afSdavits were filed in support thereof, the principal object of which was, apparently, to show that the declaration of the counsel that a verdict of guilty might be ren- dered was unauthorized, and that there were several witnesses present whose testimony the plaintiff in error desired to introduce to show that the statements contained in the affidavit were true, and that his counsel was unwilling and declined to call the witnesses and intro- duce their testimony, relying upon the proposition that the affidavit was not an instrument authorized by law, and therefore perjury could not be assigned upon it.

"The changes were made in the 'home fertilizers' at the time we made application for the patent, and we then, as I have stated before, coneluded, inasmuch as dissolved bone was an improvement on fine bono, to use that in the place of it, and we made application for the patent with that im- provement — at least, with that change — for dissolved bone instead of houe dust or fine bone, which we had been using before. I know it was the date of the application of the patent, but I carmot tell you how near that date it was, or anything about it, without reference to the books. We all agreed among ourselves that dissolved bone was an improvement on bone dust; and we made application for the patent with that understanding, that it was an im- provement, and that it was the great improvement in our formula." When Dr. Boykin states that from the complainants' observation of the success of certain formulas, and I think he means by this the increasing demand, they were led to introduce dissolved bone as being Buperior to anything else, he does not of course pretend to any claim to have discovered the merits of dissolved bone as a fertilizer. Dis- solved bone had then for 15 or 20 years been well known, among per- sons using or dealing in fertilizers, as one of the approved methods of preparing bone phosphates for that purpose, and dissolved bone was on all the price-lists of such dealers, and was called for in some of the many formulas produced in evidence which were in use prior to 1876. The virtues claimed for it as compared with ground bone, bone meal, or bone dust, for fertilizing, were known, and were the sub- ject of discussion and experiment. It appears from the expert testi- mony to have been thought then, as now, that the dissolved bone was more immediate in its effects but not so lasting ; that if there was present in the soil sufSoient soil water to dissolve the ground bone as rapidly as required by the plant, it was to be preferred as cheaper and more lasting, but that if there was a deficiency of soil water, so that the ground bone was liable to decompose too slowly, then the dis- solved bone was the better. One of the complainants' experts states that he has known dissolved bone to have been used in formulas for fertilizers, in greater or less quantities, for 15 years past. AU that the complainants can possibly daim, so far as the dis- solved bone is concerned, is that they have substituted in the Liebig formula one well-known form of bone phosphate fertilizer for an- other well-known form. Beyond the presumption arising from the patent, there is very little to show just when they made this change. The testimony of Dr. Boykin leaves it very uncertain. In one part of his testimony above quoted he says the change was made by them at the time they made application for the patent, viz., March 1,<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> spc0umhqzbpbwpn36uype9qanhmyid5 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/737 104 702132 15135746 8177706 2025-06-14T22:38:31Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: REPOB → REPOR, ORTBB → ORTER, removed: � (6) 15135746 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>722 , FEDERAL ■REPORTER. It is contrary to the policy of the law, and certainly contrary to the principles of equity, to permit an attorney at law to oecupy at the same time and in the same transaction the antagonistic and wholly incompatible position of adviser of his client concerning a pending litigation, threatening the client's title to property, and that of purchaser of such property from the client. If an attorney can deal with his client concerning such property at all, he must, be- fore doing so, — for the time, at least, — divest himself of the character of attorney, so that his former client may deal with him as a etranger. This is not the case -when the attorney negotiates with the client as the purchaser of such property, and at the same time ad- vises him as counsel concerning the title toit, or concerning its value, as affected by pending litigation. . 3. To sustain a sale from client to attorney, the burden is upon the latter, and he must show that he bas done as much to protect the client's interest as he would have done in the case of his client's deal- ing with a stranger. The court will watch such a transaction with jealousy, and throw on the attorney the burden of proving that the bargain is, generally speaking, as good as any that could have been obtained by due diligence from any. other purchasen An attorney cannot in any case sustain a purchase from his client without show- ing that he communicated to such client everythingnecessaryforhim to form a correct judgment as to the real value of the subject of the purchase, and as to the propriety of selling; for the priee . offered ; and neglect of the attorney to inform himself of the state of the facts will not enable him to sustain a purchase from his blient for an inad- equate consideration. The attoiliey must show that all the consider- ations which should have operated to prevent -the sale by the client were presented by him with the eamestness of a man who was anx- ious only for the client's good. It must be made to appear. that the client is no worse off than he would have been had he consulte d an adviser who had no ' ititerest and no selfish end in view. It must appear also that the attorney took such measures to inform himself as to the value of the property offered for sale by the client as are ordinarily taken by persons dealing in such property under like cir- cumstances, and that, being himself thereby infortned, he communi- cated all his information upon the subject to his client. Authorities by which these general rules are established will be found cited in Weeks, Attys. at Law, under the head of "Dealingsbetween Attorney and Client," 450-469, and in 2 White & Tudor, Leadt Cas. in Eq.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 7kxhkzde65gzx0pmmzlv18xie1lnrpz Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/759 104 702154 15135748 8177730 2025-06-14T22:38:33Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EBPO → REPO, ORTEE → ORTER, removed: � (10) 15135748 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>7i4 FEDERAL REPORTER. We concede the validity of article 248* of the Louisiana constitu- tion, as delegating the regulation of slaughter-houses to the varions municipal authoritiea. We doubt the validity of article 258t of the same constitution, so far as any retroactive effect is claimed for it, and we deny that said article is or pretends to be an exercise of the police power.

The plaintiflfs also insist that while the word "loom," as defined in the dictionaries, or when used technically, does not include a knitting-machine ; yet, as used in the shops and in the patent-office, it does include such ma- chine ; but that this is immaterial, for whoever uses the loom take-up and employa the same combination in a knitting-machine to take up the fabric is an infringer, and that the crank-rod of the defendant's device, by which power is communicated to the pawl-lever, is the obvions mechanical equivalent of the lay and pitman of the Holmes device. In my opinion the case turns upon the question, what was the invention which was described, either clearly or faintly, in the orig- inal patent ? It is true that the actual invention of Holmes could have been applied to knitting-machines, and if the patentee had known the extent of his invention he could properly have made a broader claim, which would have been valid; but the point is whether it does not appear from the patent that the only invention which was the subject of the application was one applicable only to the weaving of cloth, and therefore whether a broad reissue is not faulty in that it contains an invention which was neither suggested nor applied for in the original application, but which is such an addition to the invention, as originally claimed, as to be properly the subject of a new patent. Starting with the fact that whatever may be either the commer- cial or technical meaning of the word "loom," the meaning of "loom for weaving cloth" is very obvions, and with the additional fact that a knitting-machine is a structure of altogether different character from a weaving-loom, except that each machine produces cloth and needs a take-up, did the original patent indicate, suggest, or hint that the invention was anything but an adjunct to looms for weaving? The original application was strictly confined to such machines, and fora manifest reason. In cloth-weaving, whenever a thread of filling is passed between the threads of warp the lay is thrown forward and beats the thread of filling against the edge of the newly-woven cloth. The old take-ups made use of the constantly-reourring for- ward motion of the lay to turn the cloth-beam and to keep the yarn tant, for in a loom take-up the movement of the lay is the natural source of motion for the take-up mechanism. The inventor wanted to improve the existing device so that a better device or an improyed<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 0w3gesxliavzkq91nvd8fe0exdppqla Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/781 104 702176 15135750 8177755 2025-06-14T22:38:35Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, EDEBAL → EDERAL , KEPORT → REPORT, removed: � (22) 15135750 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>766 FEDERAL REPORTER. instrumentalities which the patentees employed. in their use of the hot blast operated just as they had previously operated when the same blast was iised for other purposes. They employed old mech- anism without produeing a new effect. It may be true that this device produced a better resuit, but that, of itself, was net enough to sustain the patent. In delivering the opinion of the court in Roherts v. Ryer, 91 U. S. 150, Chief Justice Waite says : " It is no new invention to use an old machine for a new purposa The inventer of a machine is entitled to the beneflt of all the uses to which it can be put, no matter whether he had conceived the idea of the use or not." And, says Justice Story, in Bean v, Smalltvood, .*/ Story, 408: " The tiiing itself which is patented must be new, and not the mere appli- cation of it to a new purpose or object." The plaintiff's patent was not for the application of an old machine to a new use. The interior of moulds and other receptacles had been previously beated by a hot blast, and the patentees used a blast of the same character to beat the interior of beer casks. No new application of a natural force or element in nature was pointed out or described in the patent. This case is different in some essential respects from the cases which were decided by Judges Blodgett and Dyer. The bill is dismissed for want of equity. DOWNTON V. AlLIS. (Circuit Court, E. D.

A. Pray, of Minneapolis; said Allis & Co. having an equal right to sell in said state. "Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this twenty-fourth day of Janttary, A. D. 1876. [SignedJ " Robert L. Downion." In the third agreement, known as the personal-service contract, it was reoited that by certain agreements (referring to the contracts last mentioned) the right to the exclusive manufacture of Downton's peerless middlings duster and rolls, for crushing grain, had been con- veyed by Downton to Allis & Co., and it was agreed that Downton should enter into their employment and engage in the sale of these machines and other manufactures of AUis & Co. ; that he should be paid for his services at the rate of $1,500 per year, and that upon all sales Allis & Co. were to receive certain profits, which it is not nec- essary to speak of more particulaTly. It was also provided by this contract that the engagement of Downton to Allis & Co., at the rate of $1,500 per year, might be ended upon notice of six months by either party, or without notice upon the payment of $750 in money. This contract is dated January 3, 1876. At the time of the execu- tion of these several contracts, or soon thereafter, — and it is a close question of fact at what precise date the transaction between the par- ties occurred — an addendum was put to the personal-service contract, which provided that "in case of the termination of the above arrange- ment, by death or other casualty, the right to sell the machines referred to in the above agreement shall revert to the heirs or suc- cessors of E. L. Downton, the manufacture continuing in said Allis & Co., to whom all orders are to be sent." This addendum was signed by both of the parties. As I have indicated, the question here involved is whether, under these contracts, or either of them, the defendant Mlis acquired the title to the patent in question, which, if valid, is alleged to be of very great value.

There was no way, under the policy, by which the vessel could enter the gulf, consist- ently with the first written Une, except by the permission in the sec- ond written Une, and that permission gave her no right to be west of New Orleans on a voyage to Morgan City. There is a clear intention manifested and expressed by the words of the policy of not insuring against the perils of a coasting trade on the gulf coast west of New Orleans, or against the perils of trying to enter a United States gulf port west of New Orleans. The case of Snow v. Columbian Ins. Co. 48 N. Y. 624, was the case of a purely time policy, not prescribing any voyage or trade, and hav- ing warranties against using certain ports, places, and waters. One of them was a warranty not to use ports in the British North Ameri- can Provinces except between certain days. The vessel, at a time not between those days, sailed for a port in a British North American province, and was lost on the coast of that province, about 50 miles from that port, at a time not between those days. It was held that the insurer was liable, as there had been no use of the forbidden port. The decision was put on the ground that the vessel had a right to be in the water where she was. In the present case, on a proper con- struction of the policy, the vessel was sailing in forbidden waters. The case of Palmer v. Warren Ins. Co. 1 Story, 860, was the case of an exception or exclusion of what would otherwise have been included in the general terms of the policy. It differed frpm the pres- ent case. Moreover, the policy was purely a time policy, with no designation of prescribed or permitted voyages or trade.

The pru- ceedings upon which it was placed in possession show that certain persons were, in regular course, made receivers of this road, with other raiiroad property, to operate the roads, and out of the income to pay the rent to the Vermont & Canada Eailroad Company ; that pursuant to an agreement between the parties, according to its terms embodied in a decree, the then receivers continued to operate the roads according to the provisions of the agreement and decree, by which they were to operate them and apply the income to the pay- ment of the rent; then to the payment of the first-mortgage bonds of the Vermont Central Eailroad ; then to the second-mortgage bonds of the Vermont Central Eailroad; and then to pay it to the Vermont Central Eailroad Company ; and that upon the joint petition of those receivers and their suocessors, and the Central Vermont Eailroad Company, a decree was made by which the Central Vermont Eailroad Company was placed in possession in their stead. The orators claim that the prior possessors had lost their right to this road through their non-payment of rent, and that the transfer to the Central Vermont Eailroad Company was merely a transfer by one to the other, although sanctioned by the court, and that the transferes took no greater or different rights than the transferors had. The defendants claim that the transfer was ordered by the court ; that the rights of the Central Vermont Eailroad Company, under the transfer, cannot be inquired into anywhere except in that court ; and that they are valid everywhere else against all claimants. The right of the orators, denied by the plea, is the same which they set up and seek to enforce by their Mil, and which they claim to have tried and determined upon the answer of the defendants in the usual course. As stated before, the parties are citizens of different states, and this is a suit in which there is a controversy between them, and which those bringing it have the right to have determined in this court, unless there is some unusual reason for turning them out of court.

Pierson, one of the defendants, was a resident of the city of Chi- cago and state of Illinois; that the Continental Life Insurance Com- pany was a citizen of the state of Connecticut, and that certain other defendants were citizens of Boston, in the state of Massachusetts ; that neither said non-resident defendants, nor either of them, could be found in the district of Indiana, nor did they, or either of them, voluntarily appear to the complainants' bill of complaint. On the information contained in this affidavit the court entered an order that the defend- ants named in the affidavit appear and plead, answer or demur, to the bill and intervening petition on or before the seventh day of Decem- ber, 1881, and that a copy of the order should be served upon each of sueh defendants. Certified copies of this order and the bill of complaint aad intervening petition were served upon the Continental Life Insurance Company, in Connecticut, on the sixteenth day of November, 1881, by the marshal for the district of Connecticut. Samuel C. Hays, in an affidavit in which he describeg himself as deputy United States marshal for the northern district of Illinois, ' swore that he made similar service on John 0. Pierson on the same day. And B. B. Johnson made affidavit of similar service at Boston on the seventeenth day of November, 1881, on the defendants, who were citizens of that place, describing himself as deputy marshal for that district.

The defendants now appear specially and move to set aside the order of the court and the service of the same, for the reason that the order was prematurely made; that it was not based upon proper information; that the day designated for the defendants to appear and plead was not a rule-day ; that the service should have been by the marshal of this district, or by a person specially named in the order to make the service; and that the intervening petition is not such a proceeding as is contemplated by the act of March 3, 1875.

The contract, then, was complete. In substance, it was that if the defendant would pay $55,000, immediately, the goverument would release him from all known claims. It was not a contract by which, in consideration of his promise to pay, they released him, or even promised to release him ; or to forbear to sue him or his ex- ecutors. If he had retracted his consent on Monday, they would have prosecuted their suits for penalties as well as duties, They did not intend to release those suits and claims, which, if he had lived, would have been their best security, Still, it was a contract; and if Way had immediately tendered the money to the government, he might have pleaded the contract and tender in bar of the suit or suits ; and, on the other hand, if the government had chosen to tender to Way a release of all claims, I do not see why they might not have sued him on the contract. They made no such tender then, or since, and when Way died the occasion for a release was gone ; there was no longer a large unliquidated claim to be relieved by the pay- ment. In this state of things I decide that there was no contract binding the exeeutors to pay $55,000 to the government. As to the second compromise, the objection is taken by the govern- ment that there was no report upon it by the district attorney, as required by the statute, (now Rev. St. § 3469.) But there was a full and elaborate report and recommendation by Mr. Hurd upon a similar offer; and it is upon this report that the solicitor founded his own. This is plain upon the face of the papers. The offer thus reported on was not only similar, but, in substance, identical. It was to submit to a judgment for $13,500, the estimated amount of duties; and the accepted offer was to submit to a judgment for the amount of the same duties, to be ascertained by an auditor. There had been, therefore, a substantial compliance with the statute. Whether the new compromise was one which, in law, would have superseded the old one, if that had been of binding force after Way's death, I have no occasion to decide.

The bill alleged that the Alexandria & Bloomfleld Railroad Company was duly incorporated by an act of the general assembly of the state of Missouri, and that by a provision of its charter its stock was made exempt from taxa- tion for the period of 20 years after its completion, which period bas not yet expired ; that said road ran through the counties of Clark, Scotland, and Schuyler, in the state of Missouri, to a point on the northem boundary Une of said state; that said company was after wards consolidated, under the laws of Missouri and Iowa, with the Iowa Southern Railway Company, a corpo- ration in the state of Iowa, and has been since known as the Missouri, Iowa & Nebraska Eailway Company; that by virtue of the laws of said states the consolidated company became entitled to all the privileges and immunities of the original corporations ; that said Iowa & Nebraska Eailway Company has no property in said counties of Clark, Scotland, and Schuyler, except its road- bed and other property used in the operation of its road ; that taxes had been illegally assessed against said property, and that the defendants, the auditor of the state of Missouri, the judges of the county courts bf said counties, and; others, have combined to compel said company to pay taxes in said counties- upon its property therein situated, and had employed attorneys to institute and maintain suits for taxes assessed against said property; that the com- plainants owned a large amount of stock in said company, and had requestedi the directors and officers of said company, and said company, to refuse to pay said taxes, and to take proper steps to resist the imposition of taxes upon said property ,but that they had ref used to take auy such steps ; and that said company had, through its officers, announced its intention to pay said illegal taxes.. The prayer of the bill was that the taxation of said eompany's property should be declared illegal, and the acts of the auditor and the county officers void and of no effect; and for a writ of injunction to restrain the defendants from. taking any steps towards the assessment of taxes upon the property of said road, or the collection thereof.

The patents of Sehroeder, Eichholtz, Norton, Pattee, and Poling all seem to me, from the proof, to be mere combinations of old parts, and, as I have said, may be valid as such combinations; but the defendant had the same right to combine other, or the same parts, 80 long as it did not use the same combination shown in complain- ants' patents, which I find it does not.

I am of opinion that the Btatement of the witness is not unreaaonable. He was but a sliort distance from him, and immediately sprang to him, and most probably made the inquiry before he was aware of the extent of the injury, and the answer was made when the facts were present before the mind of the petitioner. The most satisfactory conclusions as to the real occurrences imme- diately preceding and at the time of the collision are to be drawn from the statement made in evidence by the petitioner himself, and his declaration made soon after to Dr. Vaughn and the physical facts attending it, as shown by the evidence and uncontroverted. The peti- tioner, in his deposition, in reply to the question as to how the injury complained of was occasioned, made the following answer : "As I got near the railroad crossing my horse became very much frightened at seeing the locomotive approaching, and I pulled the reins to stop him, but he was so excited I failed, or could not stop him. I said 'whoa' to him twice. He did not stop at all; The engine was then imme- diately in front of him. I then became wonderfully excited myself to see how I could escape myself. The-street was too narrow; I could not turn round. I saw the horse was determined to go forward, and, believing it was the only chance to save my life was to let him go, I slackened the rein and he darted violently forward. The cow-catcher, to the best of my knowledge, struck the wagon at the hind wheels and threw me 12 or 15 feet forward on the street. I was knocked senseless, and do not know anything more about the particulars." Dr. Vaughn testifies — " That soon after the collision he was called to dress the petitioner's wounds, when he asked the petitioner as to the manner of their infliction. He replied that he had been run over by a locomotive at the crossing at St. John street and throwninto theditch nearby; that the rear of the wagon had been struck by the locomotive; that, hearing the bell and the locomotive coming, he tried to stop his horse ; that the more he pulled the f aster the horse went. Finding that he could not stop him, he tried to cross the track by driving him up, with the resuit as stated." James Sykes testifies — "That after the accident petitioner stated to him that he was driving his wagon, not thinking of the engine or cars until he approached near the corner of the warehouse ; that he heard no bell is what I think he said, or, as I now reoollect, hesaid he heard no noise; that the engine came suddenly by, or came in sight orview bf his horse, who became very much frightened, and he gave him a eut with a whip to make him jump across the road ahead of the engine_ which he thought was his only safety."<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> hik732p0yoylqx3bgduxvw2bsv8rtnp Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/891 104 702289 15135761 8177876 2025-06-14T22:38:45Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (8) 15135761 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>876 FEDERAL RBPORTER. kind, and then show, as nearly as possible, the extent of depreciation from use. But this course was not open to plaintiff, for the goods were in defendant's possession, probably not in a condition to be examined, and plaintiff was not bound to inquire whether he would be allowed to send witnesses to inspect them. If it ia suggested that a dealer, hearing a description of the articles, would be able to fix their value, the answer may be that few persons would be able to give a description which can be understood. The average man would find himself very much embarrassed in any effort to describe furniture and other articles of household use deunitely, so as to enable one who never saw them to judge of their value. No one in Colorado knew anything of these goods, and among plaintiff's acquaintances in Zanesville he could not expect to find any one more competent than himself to testify as to their value. On the whole, it would seem that if plaintiff's testimony as to value cannot be accepted, he will be defeated of his right, and that will not be allowed. In the matter of values, as in other matters, the law will give relief, according to the injury, on the beat testimony that can be obtained. Stickney v. Allen, 10 Gray, 352; Starkey v. Kelley, 50 N. Y. 676. On the other hand, defendant, being in possession of the goods, was in a position to prove their value in a manner which would dispel all doubts. It attempted to do this, but the evidence is not very satis- factory. The goods were not in a condition to be examined with care, and defendant's witnesses did not give the attention necessary to correctly estimate their value. Evidence of the value in thii market of new goods of the same kind, which would have enlightened the jury, was not offered by either party, and if the verdict is wrong the fault is not wholly with the jury. There is, however, some reason to believe that the amount returned is large, and the plaintiff will be required to remit $500, or submit to a new trial. The evidence of value offered by defendant was probably entitled to greater weight than was allowed to it, although it cannot be said that it should control. If the plaintiff will remit from the damages the sum of $500> the verdict may stand, otherwise a new trial will be allowed. Plaintiff remitted the $500, and judgment was entered for $1,500.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 9szly46zvyn8birinq9liro6qig39j3 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/895 104 702293 15135762 14560295 2025-06-14T22:38:46Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (37) 15135762 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>880 FEDERAL REPORTER. parts of the route, and as the Eio G-rande Company was to complete the contract, its coupon was the last of the series, and connected with the general provisions constituting the contract.

It entitles the holder "to one first-class passage" from the place of departure, which, in this instance, was St. Louis, Missouri, to Trinidad, Colorado. At its office in Denver, for a month or more, the defendant re- deemed tickets similar to these in all respects, paying therefor local rates from Denver to the points named in the tickets. It was not then contended that the right was limited to the original purchaser, but payment was made to the holder, and many of them were pre- sented by the plaintifif himself, who received the money for them. The tickets in suit were bought by plaintifif, who calls himself a "ticket broker," in the expectation that defendant would redeem them as had been done with others of the same class. As to these tickets, defendant's agent at first requested plaintiff to hold them a few days until money should be received for redeeming them, and, after four days, defendant absolutely refused to redeem them. Meantime plaintiff had bought others of the same class, amounting in all to the sum in controversy, and after defendant refused them he bought no more. As to what may be a fair deduction from this proceeding, concern- ing defendant's liability, there is not much room for discussion.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> sn5avhv9qkh243vz760f27y2e6b3m7q Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/903 104 702301 15135763 8177890 2025-06-14T22:38:47Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (8) 15135763 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>888 FEDERAL REPORTER. capitally. Hence, in tins particular, it must be conceded that there was not embraced in the purview of the constitution any offences denominated "capital" exccpt those which might thereafter be so declared by congressional enactment. If this be so, why should a different rule obtain as to the so-called "inf amous crimes " designated in the same amendment ? The rule governing the two should be the same. If regard is had to the then existing common law and British stat- utes, as fully explained in the cases cited, it may be considered as settled that the treason, felony, and crimenfalsi were inf amous. To every student of legal history it is well known that many offences now considered trivial, comparatively, were in England denominated felonies, and once made capital, while many other and graver crimes were designated misdemeanors, and followed by milder punishments. As at the date of the constitutional amendments it .remained for congress to. name offences and prescribe punishments therefor, is it to be held that every offence by it defined must take either its classification or punishment ex necessitate from the English System, or solely from congressional provisions ? Originally a felony was an offence which was followed by for- feiture, yet a century ago the English courts repudiated that test, and 80 have the American courts since. It is said that it is not the grade of the punishment, but the nature and quality of the offence, which must determine its classification. If so the rule is very uncer- tain. Many offences comparatively trivial were felonies, and punish- able at common law with death and forfeiture, which at the present time are not felonies or so puniahable either in England or the United States. It must be observed that the constitutional amendment under review does not use the word "felony." True, at common law all felonies were infamous, but as the constitution did not adopt the penal code of the common law, and as consequently there are no common-law crimes against the United States, how does it happen that whatever was in common law a felony cornes to be infamous when an offence of a like nature is declared to be an offence — but not a felony or infamous — against the United States, punishable only as the latter had enaoted. Although forfeitures ceased to be the consequence of most felonies before the adoption of the United States constitution, yet the designa- tion "felony" remained. Still, are we to hold that all felonies under the United States constitution and statutes are to be held infamous, notwithstanding their position before the law had been essentially<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 8ikux04tsdu2gzq2ua449n5uupzzauj Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/911 104 702309 15135764 8177898 2025-06-14T22:38:48Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: icb → ich , whieh → which, FBD → FED, FEDERAIi → FEDERAL , TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (16) 15135764 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>89t> FEDERAL BKPORTER. United States v. subgbss.* {District Uourt, E. B. Missouri. January 30, 1882.) 1. CoNSTiTUTioNAL Law— Inpamous Cp.imes— Conspiract to Makb Cotjnterpbit CotN — Pbactich — Inpormatiok. A conspiracy to make counterfeit coin is not an infamous crime, within the meaning of article 5 of the amendments to the United States constitution, and may be prosecuted by information. Motion in Arrest of Judgment. Drummond e Smith, for the United States, Paul Bakewell and E. M. Stewart, for defendant. Tbeat, D. J. An information was filed against the defendant for conspiracy to make counterfeit coin, whereupon a trial was had, and conviction followed. Many of the points considered in the case of Wynn, ante, 886, are involved in the question now presented. So far as the views of the court are stated in that case, they need not now be repeated. Under the common law a conspiracy was not intamous tmless it was for the subversion of justice, by the obstruction of its adminis- tration through perjury, subornation of perjury, spiriting away of witnesees, etc. Hence, if a like oiienee is by congressional enact- ment denounced a crime, without attendant consequences involving infamy, the same can be prosecuted by information. If the common-law rule were to obtain, the crime chargea would not be infamous, inasmuch as the alleged conspiracy, under section 5440, Eev. St., is not to subvert or obstruct the administration of justice through its administration in the courts. It has been forcibly urged that a conspiracy to commit a felony which, if committed, would fall within the rule of crimenfalsi, should, under the statute (6440) as to overt acts, be held to come within that rule. By what has been said in the case of Wynn, no such rule would prevail. If congress denounces a speciiied offence a felony it is so; not because like offenees were such under the English law, but because congress chose so to make it. In this case, to commit which offence the conspiracy is charged, strange to say, the acts of congress have been frequently changed. In England there was, for technical reasons, a marked distinction between false eoining and passing false coins. In the early statutes of the United States, counterfeiting coin was declared to be a felony, but in the re-enactment of these statutes *Reported by B. F.

The plaintiff describes and claims in his patent, No. 166,819, an improvement in fasteners for shutters, or blinds, made of wire, and fully shown in the drawings, and by a description which would hardly be intelligible without the drawings. The defend- ants make and sell this precise article ; and the only question in the case is whether the plaintiff has a valid patent, no matter of how limited a scope. In my opinion, he may hold a narrow claim for the very article which he describes. Other fasteners for shutters and blinds had been made of a single piece of wire, but none which had the several elements of his claim similarly combined. The claim is for "a wire blind fastener, having a horizontal spring arm, A', pro- jecting end, G, inclined or brace arm, E', intermediate coil spring, E, and horizontal eye, F ; the same being constructed and adapted to be applied to the blind or shutter, substantially as and for the purposes<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 6yn05tbwbt0cim1ve8lp6eibfzrm035 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/923 104 702322 15135766 8177911 2025-06-14T22:38:50Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (5) 15135766 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>908 FEDERAL REPORTER. eette, such revolving end rosette and screw being practically one piece and revolving together. In order to prevent the screw and the rosette from being carried bodily towards the fixed jaw by the sliding of the adjustable jaw on the main bar, a noteh an long as the width of the periphery of the rosette waa eut in or out of the substance of the main bar opposite the place intended for the permanent position of the rosette, and the periphery of the rosette turned within the notch so that the edge of the rosette face nearest to the fixed jaw would catch against the edge of the notch, the angle of the notch being towards the fixed jaw. But while this Coes wrenchof 1841 had advantages, it had dif- ficulties. There was a pressure against the plate by the rosette face furthest from the fixed jaw and by the end of the screw in its bear- ing, and thus the back strain or thrust from the bite of the jaws was commuuicated through the adjustable jaw, its attachment, the screw and th« plate, to the ferrule, and so to the wooden handle, before it reached the main bar through the screw nut at the handle end. The plate and the ferrule were often broken or bent and pushed out of place and the wooden handle was split or crushed. It became desir- able, therefore, to devise a way of taking oflf this back-thrust before it could reach the plate or the ferrule and thus the wooden handle, and of bringing it against the resisting strength of the main bar itself between the plate and the fixed jaw. Taft did this by his invention of 1863. He took the Coes wrench of 1841, with its main bar, fixed jaw, adjustable jaw, attachment thereto, screw, bearing, plate, fer- rule, wooden handle, screw nut, and extension of main bar, all as they were, and, in place of one rosette, he put inthree parallel rosettes, with narrower peripheries, revolving, at right angles to the Une of motion of the adjustable jaw, in three parallel grooves in the adjacent face of the main bar, each groove bearing against both faces of its rosette, so as not only to prevent the rosette and the screw from being carried bodily towards the fixed jaw, but to cause the back-thrust to be re- ceived by the side of the groove furthest from the fixed jaw, instead of, as before, by the plate. The grooves being eut in the main bar, the baek-thrust was intercepted by them, and the plate and the fer- rule and thus the wooden handle were relieved from all liability to injury from the back-thrust, while the rosette was retained in the same relative position to the handle which it had in the Coes wrench of 1841. In the original patent of 1863 the plate and the ferrule to- gether are called the ferrule, e, and it is stated that by the new arrangement the pressure which would otherwise come on the ferrule is taken off from it, such pressure being "often so great as to break it off,<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> b5ew02c19ne49hia3mytexfyv9xte5r Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 9.djvu/933 104 702332 15135767 8177922 2025-06-14T22:38:52Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, removed: � (10) 15135767 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>D18 FEDERAL REPORTER. rence may have arisen from the default of another? Suppose, for example, that in attempting to escape from an impending collision a vessel sustains damage by reason of defective steering apparatus or rigging, from which she would have escaped had it been sufficiently provided. Or suppose that, being oompelled to slip her anchor, she might readily have secured her safety had she been provided with proper lines and hawsera, but owing to the entire absence of these she is stranded. Or suppose that she is overladen and unmanage- able, and from that cause unable to execute a maneuver which she might otherwise have safely accomplished, It would seem that in these and similar cases that when a vessel is endangered by the fault of another, and is unable to secure her safety through the want of the usual and proper appliances and means, she is herself as much in fault as if her inability cornes from the want of proper skill and diligence on the part of her officers and crew. But if her inability has been the resuit of a peril of the sea or vis major, the consequences of which she has been unable to rem- edy, then her defective means should not be imputed to her as a fault. It is unnecessary to pursue this discussion further. Perhaps what has already been said is superfiuous, as it is certainly ohiter. In my judgment the accident in this case is not to be attributed to the negligence of the Austria, but to "inevitable accident." Numerous authorities deflning the meaning of this term, and illustrating its application, have been cited at the bar. It will be sufficient to quote the language of the supreme court in a single case : " Inevitable accident," says tJie court, " is where a vessel is pursuing a law- f ul avocation in a lawful nianner, using the proper precautions against danger, and an accident occurs. The Mghest degree of caution that can be used is not required. It is enough that it is reasonable under the cireumstances ; such as is usual in similar cases, and has been found by long experience to be surticient to answer the end in view — the safety of life and property." The Braoe Qird- ler, 7 Wall. 203. The Austria was made fast to the wharf by a gang of stevedores, under the direction of Capt. Batchelder, a master stevedore of 30 years' standing, assisted by two foremen of great experience. It is unnecessary to enumerate the various chains and hawsers by which she was attached to the wharf. In the judgment of all con- cerned in the operation they were sufficient to seeure her safety<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> taour4hmkxwb45kuc24a7oa7cgde9xi Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/4 104 702347 15134780 8170009 2025-06-14T22:22:31Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, PORTB → PORTE, removed: � (120) 15134780 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>OABES BKPORTED.

J. H. Choate, for plaintiff. C. M. Da Costa, for defendants. Blatchfoet), g. J. This is a suit in equity. Issue was ioinecl by the filing of a replication to the answer, December 1, 1879. On the fifth of February, 1881, the plaintiff's solicitors, not having before taken any testimony, served a notice in writing on the defendants . solicitors that the plaintiff ^ "doBires the evidence to be adduced in this cause to be taken orally,"and that witnesses would be esamined in the city of NewYorkojiFebrua,ry llth. Two witnesses forthe plain- tiff were examined orally under tiiis notice, thelast one in June, 1881. The time to take testimony bas been extended, and bas not expired. In May, 1881, the defendants' solicitors having been previously informed by the plaintiff's solicitors that the latter intended to have a commission issued to take in London, England,i.the deposition of the plaititiff, who resides in Londdri, gave notice in writing to the plaintiff's solicitors that the defendants' solicitors desired to cross- examine the plaintiff orally, and requested them to have the commis- sion executed during the ensuing July or September, when one of the defendants' solicitors would be in London and attend to the matter. To this notice no reply was ever received. One of the witnesses so examined in New York was the confidential manager of the plaintiff's business residing in London, and it appears that the plaintiff bas there legal advisers who havo been consulted coaceming the matters ift isBxie herein. The plaintiff now applies for an order for a commission to examine himself on written interrogatories to be annexed to the commission, on an afiidavit showing that he expects to prove by himself the ma- terial averments in the bill, or many of them. The defendants ask that if a commission to examine the plaintiff on written interrogato- ries be issued, the defendants have leave to cross-examine the plain- tiff orally thereunder. By rule 67 in equity, as in force prior to the December term, 1861, testimony in suits in equity might be taken by commission on writ- ten interrogatories and cross-interrogatories, but by agreement it might be taken by oral interrogatories, under a commission. ihis applied even to testimony to be taken where a subpœna from the court could reach the witness. By rule 68 testimony might also be taken in the cause, after it was at issue, by deposition, according to the acts of congress.

Nor can Joel L. Pulliam be charged with the possession of any of this treasure by the declarations of his father that he had placed some of the paper money injured by its burial in his hands to be redeemed at the treasury. The rights of the parties must depend vipon their respective interests in the property shown to have had an existence at the time of the testator's death, and not upon any spec- ulations as to what beoame of large quantities of gold which he boasted of having buried during the war, and which each of these parties affeet to believe the other has obtained and appropriated. The cross-bill will be dismissed when a final decree is entered. The question of interest is reserved. The master will calculate it as he may think lawful on the facts before him, and report his action and the reasons for it. On the eoming in of the report, and its con- firmation, the plaintiff will be entitled to a personal decree against the executer for whatever amount may be found in her favor on account of the legacies given her by the will, less so much of said legacies as were necessarily paid in the discharge of lawful debts. This disposes of her equity against the executor. Her equities against the other legatees and devisees are simple. She is entitled to be subrogated to the rights of creditors, so far as her legacies have gone to pay their debts, but no further. It is not her legacy which is charged upon the residuum of the estate, but the debts, and she is entitled to charge the lands or other property only so far as debts liave been paid with her money. To that estent (and the master will report how this is) her claim will be a lien on the lands, to be satisfied first out of those devised to the residuary legatees, and last out of the Isbell plantation. I do not see that she has any equity against Joel L. Pulliam's eatate for the money paid him, which was wrongfnlly paid, becauae barred by the statute of limitations. She must look to the executor for that, and has no claim to recover it back from the creditor. If the debts were fraudulent, as charged in the bill, she would have that right, but they are not. There being no regular master in chancery in this court, J, B. Clough, Esq., one of the commissioners of the court, will be appointed special master to take the account.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> pe5fh2c5s2r9v1b5lboa5eowv9sblh4 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/72 104 702432 15134803 8170364 2025-06-14T22:22:53Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDBB → FEDER, POBT → PORT, KEPORT → REPORT, removed: � (9) 15134803 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>60 FEDERAL REPORTEK, have examined, including all cited in argument, and am content to rest my judgment on the principles enunciated in those most favora- ble to the executor, Lockhart v.

Bisph. Eq. § 188. Whether the facts here would be held to show a mistaks of law as to the legal effect of the supposed request for delay, or of facts as to the existence of a valid request, would be a nice question if it were necessary to decide it. But, on all the above authorities, an agent or attorney employed to manage his client's affairs, who, whether by ignorance or design, leads that client to sup- pose that, as a matter of law, he can safely make a payment to him- self, cannot relieve himself from liability to refund on the ground that there has been a voluntary payment made under a mutual mis- take of law. The executer here had a right to a correct judgment from Joel L. Pulliam on that question, and he cannot protect himself against an erroneous judgment on sueh a ground. In Lupton v. Lupton, 2 Johns. Ch. 626, it was ruled that a legatee receiving more than his share must refund in favor of others. David v. Frowd, 1 Myl. & K. 200; Williams v. Gibbes, 17 How, 239, 255 ; 2 Williams, Ex'rs, 1244 ; Orr v. Kaines, 2 Ves. Sr. 194. It was ruled in Johnson v. Moseby, (MSS. opinion, Knoxville, Sept. 1880,) 1 South. Law J. (N. S.) 802, that a crediter who, without an iudemnity bond, received more than his share, could not upou subsequent insolvency, at the instance of other creditors, be oompelled to refund the exeess over his pro rata; while in Ewing v. Morey, 3 Lea. 381, where, in insolvency proceedings, a crediter received more than his share, he was held to be a trustee as to the excesB for the others. But in these cases there was a valid and subsisting claim; here there was no valid claim, but, on the contrary, one that was extinguished. The distinction is obvions. Nor need I conaider the question whether the debt was really extin- guished or remained so far obligatory that it would support a pay- ment. There is undoubtedly a principle (and it was that misled me at the former hearing) that a debt barred by the statute of lim- itations or discharged in bankruptcy, will, nevertheless, support a pay- ment, or a new promise to pay, after the bar has attached or the discharge has taken eflfect. But this must be confined to the ordi- nary statute of limitations, and cannot be said of the statutes in favor of dead men's estates. As to a new promise to pay, the execu- ter or administrator cannot make a valid one after the bar of these statutes has attached, and it is settled that he cannot waive this statute, while he may the ordinary statute of limitations.

If the assets Bought by the bill are within the oontrol of this court, an independent jurisdiction, then the same reasons exist for refusing to aid the com- plainant in appropriating them to the exclusion of the whole body of creditors who are entitled to the protection of the court in bankruptcy, wherever sitting, as much as if the assets were in the District of Colurnbia. The case might be different if the complainant had ever become so vested with the absolute title to the property as to need no further adjudication to determine his rights or to make them available. Tvistead of that being the case, it is only in and through a further judg- ment of some competent court that it can be ascertained whether he has any right or title whatsoever. On the other hand, section 4979 and other sections of the bank- rupt law indicate a policy to permit, if not to require, all adverse claims upon the bankrupt estate to be adjudieated in the courts of bankruptcy. If, therefore, the receiver had, prior to the bankruptcy, a complete legal title to the property transferred to Tanner, or even a complete and perfect legal lien upon it, recognizable by general law, then it would seem that the court in bankruptcy is the proper forum in which to assert his title or lien, and that it ought to be there fully recognized and enforced; whOe, if his title or his lien is imperfect or inchoate only, he cannot be entitled to any aid from this court or any other court to perfect it, against the interests of other creditors, after the commencement of proeeedings in bankruptcy, and the vesting of the property in the bankrupt's assignee under section 5046. The essential point in the decision of Booth v. Clarke is that a receiver's title to property not reduced to possession and not sup- ported by any assignment from the debtor, ia not such a title as will prevail in independent tribunals against the interests of other credit- ors entitled to its equal protection; and if this doctrine is applied as regards the undisputed property of the debtor, it would seem to be stJU more applicable to cases where a fraudulent assignment stands in the receiver's way, and the prellminary judgment of this court is required in aid of his alleged title. 3. Aside, however, from the question of the receiver's stand- ing in this court in such a suit as this, it is clear that he cannot maintain this action except upon the basis of his holding the legal tii le to the assigned property by virtue of the order of the state court ap pointing him receiver prior to the commencement of the proeeed-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 99y0b0dl3xoxoy0pb5wz23nat319on9 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/142 104 702503 15134762 8169726 2025-06-14T22:22:14Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (17) 15134762 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>130 FEDERAL REPORTER. naturally suggest any inquiry or thought or search concerning tb«> pecuniary condition of Eugene, who did not appear to have any con- nection with the bond and mortgage,"br with the property since the gift of it to his mother.

See Ashburner v. Balchen, 3 Selden, 262; Barker v. Windle, 6 Ellis & Black, 675; Thomas v. Clarke, 2 Starkie, i50. The authorities cited by defendants' proctor all cover cases where the misrepresentations affected the time of receivhig or delivering the cargo, or of the sailing or arrivai of the veasel, which may well enter into the object and consideration of the eontract. To my mind it is clear that the defendants were in default for not complying with their eontract, and are iiable for the damages resulting. What is the rule of damages is to me a very serions question. The libellants claim that, as the eontract was entered into in Lou- isiana, the law of Louisiana forms part of the eontract, and under that law (Civil Code, arts. 2117-2129) the full amount of the stip- ulated penalty, the estimated amount of freight, is claimed. The defendants claim that the charter-party is an admiralty eontract, to be enforced and construed by the settled principles of admiralty law ; wherever the eontract is made, that it is usually made on land, must be made somewhere, but wherever made, does not change or affect the principles of admiralty law which a court of admiralty enforces. And they daim, under the admiralty and commercial law, that the stipulated penalty in this case in the charter-party should not be treated as liquidated damages, but as a mere covenant to pay actual damages. The learned proctors on each side have made strong arguments, well supported by authorities, — that for the libellant being particu- larly logieal and forcible, and almost compelling conviction, but for the harsh resulta following its application. And it might be here noticed that under the Louisiana law, as claimed, it is only where there is a total breach that the total amount of the penalty can be exacted. SeeEev. Civil Code, art. 2127. The rule of damages as claimed by the defendants is the more equitable. It is the rule that prevails in the commercial world, and ia the one recognized in all the text-books. See 1 Parsons, Adm. Law. 247, 248; Story, Cont. § 1022; Sedgw. Dam. 436, § 301; Conk- ling, Adm. verho "Affreightments;" Abbott, Ship. 285. The harsh rule claimed by libellant may be, and I am inclined to think is, the law of Louisiana, (Kev. Civil Code, arts. 2117 et seq.,) and in her courts, or on the law side of this circuit court, I might, in proper cases, enforce it ; but sitting in admiralty, enforcing admi-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> p0x6xcsvu2i7k5dctc94ufo6p80vr4m Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/162 104 702523 15134764 8169748 2025-06-14T22:22:16Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, removed: � (17) 15134764 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>150 faOJQBAL BSPORTEfi.

Where a steamer is approaching a tug and tow in a dangerous part of a narrow stream both are liound to exercise special vigilance and caution.

A tug and tow being in a bend of a narrow stream, and upon the side to vvards which the tide directly sets, should not occupy unnecessarily the full hplf of the stream.

I have said nearly all that I need say on the subject of insane delusion. The answer of the English judges, that I have referred to, bas not been deemed entirely satisfactory, and the courts have settled down upon the question of knowledge of right and wrong as to the particu- lar act, or rather the capacity to know it, as the test of responsibility ; and the question of insane delusion is only important as it throws light upon the question of knowledge of, or capacity to know, the right and wrong. If a man is under an insane delusion that another is attempting bis life, and kills him in self-defence, he does not know that he is committing an unnecessary homicide. If a man insanely believes that he has a command from the Almighty to kill, it is difficult to understand how sueh a man can know that it is wrong for him to do it. A man may have some other insane delusion which would be quite consistent with a knowledge that such an act is wrong, — such as, that he had received an injury, — and he might kill in revenge for it knowing that it would be wrong. And I have dwelt upon the question of insane delusion, simply beca use evidence relating to that is evidence touching the defendant's power, or want of power, from mental disease, to distinguish between right and wrong, as to the act doue by him, which is the broad ques- tion for you to determine, and beeause that is the kind of evidence on this question which is relied on by the defence. It has been argued with great force, on the part of the defendant, that there are a great many things in bis conduct which could never be expected of a sane man, and which are only explainable on the theory of insanity. The very extravagance of bis expectations in connection with this deed — that he would be protected by the men he was to benefit, would be applauded by the whole country when his motives were made known — has been dwelt upon as the strongest evi- dence of unsoundness. Whether this and other strange things in his career are really indic- ative of partial insanity, or can be accounted for by ignorance of men, exaggerated egotism, or perverted moral sense, might be a question<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 999qzjh5xuab836s9i6p6sa0xju9bzy Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/210 104 702571 15134766 14627557 2025-06-14T22:22:18Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, ORTBB → ORTER, removed: � (5) 15134766 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>198 FEDERAL RBPORTER. compared to that given by Guiteau. Vulgar and insolent as the claimant was, his vulgarity and insolence were trivial eompared to those whlch Gui- teau exhibited to court as well as to counsel. Yet observe, in this respect, the contrast: Chief Justice Cockburn sat with a full bejich of associates, in all the splendors of his robes and of his high state, in the full consciousness of gifts of sarcasm and of invective such as few orators ever possessed, and of gifts of cross-examination and of advocacy such as scarcely any lawyer of his day could equal. These immense powers of sarcasm and of invective, during a trial which lasted a month, he did not shrink from pouring on the elaimant's head. The elaimant's coarse wit was turned against him by wit which, if not coarse, was at least domineering. The claimaiit's audacity was met by stern denunciations and flerce rebuke, which shovved that the judge believed him to be guilty and determined to destroy his defence. The trial was a personal struggle between the defendant and the chief justice. The defendant, with all his cunning and doggedness was overmatched; and yet, when the trial was closed by a charge of the chief justice, which now occupies two large volumes, and which is the most eonsummate piece of judicial advocacy in existence, it was felt that although the defendant was probably guilty, he had not beeu fairly tried. Far different, however, is the feeling in respect to Guiteau's case. The temptation to Judge Oox to deal impatiently with Guiteau, let it be remem- bered, was far greater than was the temptation to Chief Justice Cockburn to deal impatiently with the claimant. The elaimant's impudence was slight eompared with that of Guiteau. The claimant had a defence on the merits ; Guiteau had none. The claimant had a respectable body of adherents. Guiteau, with the single exception of a brother-in-law espousing his cause, from motives most honorable, but purely exceptional, had not a friend or sympathizer, but was the object of the execrations of the entire population of the United States. If ever a judge could have been naturally tempted to throw his personal force against a prisoner it was in this case of Guiteau. If ever personal disgust and contempt of a prisoner could have been naturally expected to enter into a judge's heart, it was on Guiteau's trial. So strong was this feeling, that, with a very few exceptions, the public press became impatient, when day after day Guiteau was permitted to pursue his course of unchecked profanity and indeconcy in the management of his own defence; and it was more than once stated that articles of impeachment were prepar- ing in the house of representatives to test the competency of a judge who had permitted such outrages as those which Judge Cox was alleged to have per- mitted in the pending trial. The case, it was supposed, was aggravated by the fact that there was a reported case in which a federal judge of high authority had held that where a defendant on trial behaves so boisteriously as to prevent the decent progress of the procedure, he can be removed from the court-room and the case go on in his absence. U. S. v. Davis, 6 Blatchf. 464. In the eighth edition of my bock on Crirninal Practice and Pleading, I said that " unless such a check be applied, the defendant, by violent and turbu- lent couduct, could at any time either bring his trial to an end, or compel its extension, under circumstances destructive of pfublic decorum." This, I still liold; but I think that in Guiteau's case it was wise in Judge Cox not to use this extreme prerogative, however gre;it the temptation was.

'' this business, that these packages should be in the immediate charge of an agent or messenger of the person or company engaged in it; and to refuse permission to this agent to accompany these packages on steam-boats or raiiroads in which they are carried, and to deny them the right to the control of them while so carried, is destruc- tive to the business, and of the rights which the public have to the use of the raiiroads in this class of transportation. 3. I am of the opinion that when express matter is so confided to the charge of an agent or messenger the railroad company is no longer liable to all the obligations of a common carrier, but that, when loss or injury occurs, the liability depends upon the exercise of due care, skill, and diligence on the part of the railroad company, 4. That under these circumstances there does not exist, on the part of the railroad company, the right to open and inspect -11 packages so carried, especially -when they have been duly closed or sealed up by their owners or by the express carrier. 5. I am of the opinion that it is the duty of every railroad company ,to provide 8uch conveyances by special cars, or otherwise, attached to thejr freight or passenger trains, as are required for the safe and proper transportation of this express matter on their roads, and that the use of these facilities should be extended on equal terms to all who are actually and usually engaged in the express business. If the number of persons claiming the right to engage in this business at the same time, on the same road, should become op- pressive, other considerations might prevail ; but, until such a State of aiiairs is shown to be actually in existence in good faith, it is unneeessary to consider it. 6. This express matter and the person in charge of it should be carried by the railroad company at fair and reasonable rates of com- pensation, and where the parties concerned cannot agree upon what that is, it is a question for the courts to decide. 7. I am of the opinion that a court of equity in a case properly made out has the authority to compel the railroad oompanies to earry this express matter, and to perform the duties in that respect which 1 have already indicated, and to make such orders and decrees, and to enforce them by the ordinary methods in use, necessary to that end. 8. While I doubt the right of the court to fix in advance the pre- cise rates which the express companies shall pay and the railroad companies shall accept, I have no doubt of its right to compel the performance of the service by the railroad company, and after it is<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> in86kr7bkg8l1zr1t7tugw0fh7t66k8 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/250 104 702611 15134768 7246676 2025-06-14T22:22:20Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEBA → FEDERA, ERAIi → ERAL, POBT → PORT, L EKPORT → L REPORT, REPORTEE → REPORTER, removed: � (7) 15134768 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>238 FEDERAL REPORTER. euit, and under that appointment, acting under the advice of counsel, he has brought suits at law against the etockholders. The only ques- tion is whether the suit which had been brought by Irons, and which h ad been amended to adapt it to the provisions of the act of June 30, 1876, can be pleaded in abatement to this suit at law which has been iristituted by the receiver under the authority or sanction of the comp- troller. After the filing of the original Irons bill the powers of the court under such a bill were materially enlarged by the act of con- gress just quoted. That bill was pending when this law took effect, and Irons undoubtedly had the right by amendment to make a case which would enable the court to administer these enlarged powers with which it had been clothed pcndente lite. Story, Eq. PI. 336; Mix V. Beach, 46 lU. 311. It seems to me that there is no room to doubt that this stockholder's liability can be completely enforoed in the Irons case; and if it can, then I see no reason why the general rule that a debtor shall not be vexed by two suits in the same jurisdiction for the same cause of action is not clearly applicable. I may also say in the same connec- tion that I have great doubts whether the comptroller had any author- ity to appoint a receiver for a bank which was in voluntary liquida- tion, after the court had appointod a receiver and taken steps under a creditor's bill to enforce the stockholders' liability. The statute gives the comptroller authority to appoint a receiver in certain cases, and then in another section of the same statute provides expressly, where a bank has gone into voluntary liquidation and is in process of winding up its affairs, any crediter may enforce the liability of the stockholder by a creditor's bill; and if the comptroller had not acted and appointed a receiver for th© purpose of enforeing the stock- holders' liability, I have no doubt but what the action of the court supersedes the right of the comptroller to act in the premises, and gives the authority solely to the court to enforce the individual liability of the stockholders. It cannot, I think, be maintained that eongress intended by the act of June 30, 1876, to leave the comptroller any authority over the assets of a national bank which has gone into voluntary liquidation under section 5220, after a court of competent jurisdiction had, under a creditor's bill, appointed a receiver and taken possession of the assets, and initiated proceedings to enforce the liability of stock- holders, becausethat would bring about a conflict between theofficers of the court and those of the comptroller. The grant of power to enforce the liability of the stockholders is plenary and ample, and I<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 09cg5ukr0x8is58l2cpje8erhdzgcqa Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/286 104 702647 15134769 8169884 2025-06-14T22:22:21Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (13) 15134769 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>27e rBDEBAL REPORTER. directing the oflacer to hand a volume of reports to the foreman, and request ing him to read a decision to the eflect that the judge can only communicate with the jury in open court: Com. v. Jenkins, Thach. Crim. Cas. 118. And so where a case, as to the importance of jurors haririonizing, was sent to the jury : /Sftoie V. Pike, 65 Me. 111 ; and where a part of the evidence was read by the court to the jury In the absence of the defendant and his counsel: Jacksoti v. Co7n. 19 Grat. 656, PoLLiNG JuEY. In clvll cases the polling of a juiy is generally conceded to be at the discretion of the court: Proffat, Jury Trials; Byme v. Grossman, 65 Pa. St. 310. In Massachusetts it is held to be discretionary with the court in criminal as well as in civil cases to grant an application for polling: Com. V. JRoby, 12 Pick. 496; Com. v. Costley, 118 Mass. 1. The practice in New England is only to grant the application when there is some ground laid, and the assent of the jury individually to the appeul of the clerk, "and so you say all," is regarded as giving a sufFicient assurance of the assent of all the jurors: Fellow's Case, 5 Greenl. 333. In several jurisdictions, however, it is held that the defendant has a right to have the polling ordered: U. S. r. Pot- ier, 6 McLean, 182 ; People v. Perkins, 1 Wend. 91 ; Fox v. 8mith, 3 Cow. 23 ; Sargent v. State, 11 Ohio, 472 ; Wright v. State, 11 Ind. 569 ; State v. Austin, 6 Wis. 205; Nornayue v. People, 1 Breese, 111; State v. John, 8 Ired. 330; State V. Tming, 77 N. G. 498; State v. Allen, 1 McC. 525; Tilton v. State, 52 Ga. 478. But where the jury have been called upon to Indicate their approval of the verdict as given by the foreman, and where they have given their assent, polling is an unnecessary cumulation of form. It should only, as principle, be required either (1) when there is no such distinctive appeal to the body of the jury as is the case when the clerk says, " and so you say all ;" or (2) when there is some doubt as to the reply of the jurymen; or (3) when polling is made requisite by statute: See U, S. v. Bridges, U. S. Cir. Ct. Ala. 1879, where it was held by Judge Bruce that there could be no polling on a sealed verdict; and see criticisms in 1 Crim. Law Mag. 7 ; 1 Southern Law J. (N. S.) 9 ; and 10 Cent. L. J. 1. So far as concerns the last point there can be no question as to the propri- €ty of Judge Drummond's ruling. A sealed verdict cannot be proper^y ren- dered by being left with the clerk and opened by him in the absence of the jury. The verdict must be brought by the jury into court and opened in their pres- flnce. Z7. S. v. Potter, 6 McLean, 182; Wright v. State, 11 Ind. 569; Martin v.Morelock, 32 111. 485; Fisher v.

Samb— Violation dp Provisions op Bankkupt Act— Bvidencb. Wlxere the estate of the bankrupts yields a large percentage of uie indebted- ness, and where the only evidence adduced by the opposing creditors is the examination of the bankrupts before the register, the court should be clearly satisfied, upon the proof submitted, of the violation of the bankrupt aot befor» 'withiiolding a discbarge. In Bankruptcy. N. B. Bryant, for creditors. James M. Ripley, for bankrupts. CoLT, D. 3. In this ease specificationa are filed by sundry object- ing creditors against the disoharge of the bankrupts. It appears that the individual estate of Jesse Boynton paid 91 per cent. ; that no debts were proved against the individual estate of Lyman Boynton; and that the firm of Boynton Bros., composed of Jesse and Lyman, paid 81 per cent. While the specifications in terms oppose the dis- oharge of both brothers, yet we learn from the statement of counsel that the objecting creditors desire mainiy to resist the discharge of Jesse Boynton. The first specification, that the bankrupts are not citizens of the United States, aud so not entified to the benefit of the bankrupt act, is not pressed, in view, probably, of the fact that they have resided in this couiitry for more than 26 years, and that resident aliens may take the benefit of the act. The second specification charges wilful false swearing in the affida- vit annexed to the schedule or inventory, in that a certain farm in Canada, and certain real estate in Boston, were knowingly omitted therefrom. The evidence of Jesse Boynton diseloses that he and his brother had eouveyed to them many years before a farm in Canada of some 75 acres, which he thinks might sell for $1,000. He states that he had not thought of this property for years ; and when ques- tioned further as to whether the farm had not been within a few years on his books, in the form of assets, at a valuation of $3,600, he answers that hedoesnot know; that he never ordered itput there, and if there, representing such an amount, it was the sum paid for it. In the absence of any testimony impeaching this statement, and believing that the court should not hastily presume fraud merely from the fact of such an omission, in a case where the payment of so large a percentage of indebtedness tends to show general good faith, we cannot but conclude that this omission was unintentional — an over-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> hwdijxyfdxmsgxr6zi8btwr3crex2lz Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/302 104 702663 15134771 8169902 2025-06-14T22:22:23Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, removed: � (15) 15134771 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>£90 FEDERAL BSPORTXB. The patented process provides for the treatment of beer when it ia in the Krauesen stage by holding it under automatically controllable pressure of carbonie acid gas by appropriate mechanieal devices. When this stage ends the process is fully aecomplished, and, in the understanding of the trade, the Krauesen stage terminates when the casks containing the liquid are bunged. Now, although it is admitted tha,t the respondents use the Guth patented bung, by means of which the complainaut's process may be practiced, yet it is satisfactorily shown by all the evidence that it is not used as long as the beer works outof the bung-hole of the shavings casks, but only when the casks are bunged, and so when the patented process is, by its express limitation, inapplicable. And this bungis not eyen then used to produce any resuit cqntemplated by the coio- plainant's process, but only in racking off the beer from the shavings casks, and as a means of relieving them from an excessive pressure of carbonie acid gas. We are, therefore, of opinion that the respondent is not shown to have used the complainant's process, and so to have infringed its patent, ai^d that the bill must be dismissed, wita uosta. Sphl ».

CEKTAm PnOCEEDINOS AND JUDGMBNT VoiD. The proceedinga had and the judgmeit rendered in the district court of Navarro county, in the years 1847 and 1848, wherein A. C.

The court of equity has jurisdiction to prevent, by injunction, the waste, alienation, or destruction of a trust estate. 8. Jubisdiction dp Ffderal Courts. While the circuit courts of the United States have no jurisdiction to cnter- tain a suit against a state of the Union, they have jurisdiction of, and will entertain a suit brought by, a proper party against an officer of a state who, under color of his office, but without lawful authority, is wasting, alienating, or destroying a trust estate, although the state may be the trustee aad remain silent, Davis Y. Gray, 16 Wall. 203. 9. Bame— Equity Pleading. In such a suit, where the state is no party, and yel is declared to be the trustee of an express trust, the defendant is without right or interest to plead in defence a repudiation by the trustee, to shield himself from uuiuwful conduct. 10. Same — SPEcnric Pbrfotimance— Decree por Title. Where the relief asked is in the nature of specifie performance of the con- tract, or, at least, a decree for title, it is imperative that the party required to perform, or who holds the legal title, should be before the court ; and such party, who is in this instance the state of Texas, not being a party to these proceedings, this court has no jurisdiction to grant such relief.

(5) That the opposition of the people continued, and that the convention of 1845 adopted an ordinauce denouncing colony contracts as uncoustitutional and void, and as operating a monopoly, to the exclusion of citizens, soldiers, and creditors of the republic, and providing that it should be the duty of the attorney general of the state, or the district attorney of the district in which any portion of the colonies might be situated, as soon as the organization of the state should be complete, to institute legal proceedings against all colony contractors, and providing that if any contracts should be found, upon such investigation, unconstitutional, illegal, or fraudulent, or that the conditions had not been complied with according to its terms, such contract should be adjudged null and void, but without prejudice to actual settlers. That said ordinance was adopted by a vote of the people, and thereby became a part of the fundamental law of the land, and that the state organization was com- pleted February 16, 1846. That in obedience to said ordinance J. W. Harris, attorney general of the state of Texas, on the eleventh day of October, 1846, flled a suit in the district court of Navarro county, in which county part of the Mercer grant was situated — a suit in the name of A. C. Horton, governor of the state, for and on behalf of said state, as plaintiff, against Charles Fenton Mercer and his associates, as defendants, alleging non-performance on the part of said Mercer and his associates, and illegality and unconstitutionality from the beginning, and praying that the contract be declared uull and void from the beginning. That said Mercer and his associates were duly and legally cited to appear and answer; and that thereafter, at the September term, 1848, the said suit was fully heard and determiued, and it was fuHy and flnally adjudged and decreed, upon the verdict of a jury, that the said contract of January 29, 1844, was null and void. That such judgment is still in full force, unreversed, and unavoided. (6) That the parties in that suit are ideutical in interest and privity with the parties to this suit, and that the subject-matter is the same ; that ifavarro county had jurisdiction ; that Mercer and his associates were represented and had a fa'r trial ; and that the said judgment bas the force of the thing adopted, and the same is a full and complete bar to this action. (7) That the state lias never, by the aet of February 3, 1850, nor by the act of August 12, 1870, nor by any other act, reeognized the validity of the Mercer contract. On the contrary, it bas always acted on the bheory of its invalidity, and all legislation in relation to its public lands, or in relation to relief to actual settlers in the Mercer colony limits, has stipulated against the con- tractors taking any benefit from the legislation. (8) That no trust has ever been created in favor of Mercer and his associ- ates; no title has ever vested; no possession has been had; and that the com- plainant nor the Texas Association are not entitled to any of the pubie lands by reason of said contract, either for settlers or for premiums.

Gibbons v. Ogden, 9 Wheat. 1, 203; 1 Kent, Comm. 439; Story, Const. § 1017. In No. 44 of the Federalist, article 1, § 10 of the constitution is com- mented on, and it is said that the manner in which the restraint on the power of the states over imports and exports is there qualified — that is.in regard to inspection laws — '"seems well calculated at once to secure to the states a reasonable discretion in providing for the con- veniency of their imports and exports, and to the United States a reasonable check agaiust the abuse of their discretion." In Bnrrill's Law Dictionary "Inspection" is defined thus: "Offi- ciai view or examination of commodities or manufactures, to ascer- tain their quality, under some statu te requiring it." In Bouvier's Law Dictionary this is the definition: "The exami- nation of certain articles made by law subject to such examination, 80 that they may be declared fit for commerce." In Clintsman v. Northrop, 8 Cow. 45, the inspection laws of New York are said to be laws "to proteot the community, so far as they apply to domestic sales, from fraud and impositions, and, in relation to articles designed for exportation, to preserve the character and reputation of the state in foreign markets." Bj the constitution of New York of 1846, art. 5, § 8, all offices for "inspecting any merchandise, produce, manufacture, or com- modity whatever," were abolished. As the term "inspection laws," in the section under consideration, refers only to laws for inspecting articles of merchandise, this shows that the terms "imports" and "exports," in the same section, refer only to articles of merchandise. Persons are not imports or exports, or articles to be inspected, under the section. To pass a statute directmg persons to be inspected to ascertain their condition as to character or pecuniary means, or physical characteristics, and then another statute calling the first one an inspection law, does not make it an inspection law. It was not and is not and can never be an inspection law, in the sense of the constitution. Nor can passengers arriving in the United States be imports or exports, in the seuse of the constitution. In Brown v. State, 12 Wheat. 419, 437, the section referred to was under consideration, and it was said by the court : " AVhat, then, is the meaning of the words ' imposts, or duties on imports or experts ?• An impost, or duty on impoits, is a ctistom or a tax levied on arti- cles biought into a country, and is most usually secured before the importer is allowed to exercise his rights of ownersliip over theai, because evasions of<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> nxa5gkelwzm3dyu5k4ztcp2a2la3was Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/382 104 702750 15134777 15133087 2025-06-14T22:22:28Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: REPOB → REPOR, PORTB → PORTE 15134777 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>370 FEDERAL REPORTER. . The defendant at once submitted to the authority of the deputy mar- shal, who told him that he might depart from eustody if he would promise to attend the commissioner's court on a certain designated day. The defendant agreed to the proposition and went off, and did raot afterwards appear at the time and place designated. I am of opinion that this was not such a service of the warrant as entitled the marshal to the fee charged. The service of a commis- fjioner's warrant in a criminal case consists of more than a mere arrest, as the marshal must keep the defendant in eustody until he is carried before an examining magistrate for a preliminary hearing upon the charges in the warrant. Where an arrest is made on a commissioner's warrant, the officer making the arrest bas no authority in law to take bail, and if he voluntarily allows the defendant to depart from eustody before the case bas been heard by the magis- trate, it is a voluntary escape. The liability of the officer is abso- lute, and cannot be relieved by a subsequent arrest of the defendant ; but the warrant is not inyalidated, and the defendant may be retaken Tjnder the same warrant, and by the same officer. The misconduct of the officer does not prevent an arrest, as the public good iequires that the defendant should be brought to justice. 1 Chit. Crim. Law, 61. The rule of law is somewhat different in mesne proeess in civil cases, as the officer becomes special bail if he allows a defendant to depart out of eustody without giving a bail-bond. Upon final proeess of execution if there is a voluntary escape the liability of the officer is absolute. If there is a negligent escape the officer may retake the prisoner on fresh pursuit and hold him, so as to relieve his liability. Adams y. Turrentine, 8 Ired. 147. ' The action of the deputy marshal in this case, and the submission of the defendant to the coiitrol of the officer, constituted a valid arrest. Whether acts constitute an arrest depends upon the intent of the 'pattiesat the time. An arrest may be made without touehing'the person of the defendant at the time, if he voluntarily submits tb the proeess of the law in the hands of the officer. Jones v. Johesj 13 Ired. 4re8. , , . , ; Although there was a valid arrest in this case there was; not a due ■service of proeess, and the marshal is not entitled to the fee charged. In his answer the marshal insists that the defendant was retaken on the warrant on a subsequent day and carried before the ppnamis- sioner for a preliminary hearing.

The rule of this court, which requires the commissioner to determine the question whether a guard is necessary for the marshal when a prisoner is before the court under arrest, must be set aside, as it is contrary to law, The marshal alone can determine this question, and say how far he is willing to subject himself to the chances and responsibilities of an escape. The marshal cannot be relieved by any action of the com- missioner, as he has no power to commit a prisoner brought before him for examination until a cause of commitment judicially appears. When any commitment is ordered, a written mittimus, setting forth the cause, must be directed to the marshal or his deputy, command- ing him to deliver the prisoner to the keeper of the common jail, and when the mandate of the warrant is obeyed then the marshal is relieved from the responsibility of custody. Raniolph v. Donaldson, 9 Cranch, 78. The marshal is clearly entitled to the fees charged for attending court and guarding the defendant on the twenty-seventh of August, as the defendant was put in his custody by order of the commissioner until sufficient bail was given for an appearance at court to answer an indictment. After hearing a case and determining to hold a defendant to bail, the commissioner can by verbal order put the defendant in custody of an officer until the bail required is given, but the ofScer cannot commit to jail without a written 7nittimus from the commissioner.

This crime conaisted in clandestinely abstracting property deposited with them as warehouse- men, and applying it to their own use, — for which they were liable to prosecution under the fifth section of the Pennsylvania statute of September 24, 1866, if not also under the 108th section of that of 1860. The crime defined by the first of these statutes is a misde- meanor, while that defined by the last is a felony. It is not essential to determine whether Stokes might have been prosecuted under the latter statute, inasmuch as the misdemeanor here involved (if the offence be no more) is of such a character — so seriously affects the public interests — that an agreement not to prosecute cannot be regarded as a consideration for a promise to pay money, or deliver goods. While misdemeanors of a private character, affecting indi- viduals principally, may be compounded, and an obligation taken for restitution of property obtained, or payment of damages suliered, may be enforced, public polioy forbids that misdemeanors which seriously affect the public welfare, shall thus be disposed of. Conceding the oiience charged against Stokes to have been a misdemeanor merely, it was, we repeat, a very serions one to the community. They were engaged in an important public employment, involving and inviting trust and confidence, — an employment regulated by statute, and intimately connected with commerce. The compounding of offences committed by persons engaged in such employment would seriously tend to imperil the public interests. While strongly inclin- ing to the belief that Stokes were liable to prosecution under the aot of 1860, it is sufficient for the purposes of this case to say that the defendants' promise not to prosecute, even if the crime was limited to that prescribed by the statute of 1866, afiforded no lawful consideration for Smith's promise to deliver the sumac. Ifc follows that the defendants had acquired no interest in the sumac, unde- livered, or right to demand it, at the time of receiving information of Smith's relations to Stokes; and receiving it afterwards with knowledge that it was being furnished in payment of the former's indebtedness to the latter, the transaction must be treated as a pref. erential payment by Stokes to them (the defendants) through Smith. It is of no consequence that the defendants subsequently transf erred<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> igzupyotphh0lxqmsx8vxxuc9wpqrqb Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/412 104 702780 15134781 15072063 2025-06-14T22:22:32Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER 15134781 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>400 FEDERAL REPORTER. rights of contract under the mortgage directly against the mortgaged vessel. But it being held that the mortgage of a vassal is not a mari- time contract, no other ground of admiralty jurisdiction in these cases existed. The claim of the present petitioners is wholly different. It is for an injury to the petitioners' interest in one vessel inflicted through a marine tort by another vessel. In such cases tha admiralty bas juris- diction in favor of the injured party against the offending vessel by reason of the maritime tort ; and the petitioners have an interest in the vessel injured which is perfectly recognizable in admiralty, and which is therefore sufficicnt to entitle them to seek relief for that tort in this tribunal. Where jurisdiction of the res in admiralty bas aiready. been otherwise acquired in direct proceedings against the mortgaged vessel itself the mortgagee's interest in the res is recog- nized, and he may intervene for the protection of his interest either before or after the sale.

Every court must, in the nature of things, have the right, as well as the power, to carry its own judgments into execution. To take from any court the pre- rogative of executing its own judgments by proper process or by sup- plemental proceedings, when necessary, would be to cripple its juris- diction in a most essential matter. It would, therefore, be diffioult to persuade us that congress meant by the provision in the act of 1875 for the removal of "suits of a civil nature" to authorize the transfer of coiitroversies growing out of mere modes of execution and relief, thns directly interfering with the state courts in the execution of their own judgments. It is not in this sense that the worda "suits of a civil nature" are ordinarily used. Now, the process of garnishment after judgment is clearly a mode of execution. Its purpose is to obtain satisfaction of the judgment out of the debtor's effects which may be in a third person's hands. The garnishment, therefore, is inseparably connected with the judg- ment. If money is realized it is to be applied to the satisfaction of the judgment. Suppose that an issue, taken upon the garnishee's answer, should be removed to the federal court, (the original case remaining, as it must remain, in the state court,) and suppose the federal court should deliver judgment against the garnishee, and by execution or otherwise the money should be collected, how could the federal court enter satisfaction, the judgment not being under its control ? We see in this the embarrassment that must arise from the attempt to separate the garnishment proceeeding from the judg- ment, the latter remaining in one court and the former carried to another and different court. This branch of the rule is clearly illustrated by the case of Webler V. Humphreys, 6 Dillon, 223. The motion in that case was manifestly a mode of execution. The plaintiff had a judgment against a Mis- souri corporation, and the statute of Missouri provided substantially that upon a return of nulla hona the judgment crediter might, by motion, with due notice, obtain an order from the court for execution against a stockholder to an amount equal to the balance of bis unpaid stock. Here the unpaid stock is treated as assets belonging to the corporation, and the statute provides the judgment crediter with a mode of execution to reach such assets. It was held by the circuit court for the district of Missouri that the motion could not be trans- ferred from the state to the federal court, notwithstanding the fact that there was a new controversy between the plaintiff and a new and different party.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> nu7ckrgqagm777qvzsmbmfb7ckt51rw Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/428 104 702796 15134783 8170040 2025-06-14T22:22:34Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: whieh → which, AIi → AL , TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (7) 15134783 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>416 FSDEBAL BKPORTER. in proper form a guaranty to the above effect, printed or engraved upon the certificiites of stock of the Metropolitan Company, and, as such stock certifi- cates are surrendered for cancellation and reissue, will, from time to time, at the request of the holder, renew such guaranty upon all reissued certificates." It is then provided that the portions of the railway of the Metro- politan which were completed on the thirty-first of January, 1879, shall be deemed to have been operated from the close of business hours on that day by the Manhattan, and all such operation from and after that time shall be for the account of the Manhattan ; that the Manhattan shall run the railways, and keep them in repair and working order, and suppliod with rolling stock and equipment ; that, "in addition to the rental hereinabove provided," it shall pay all taxes, assessmenta, duties, imposts, dues, and charges which shall become payable by the Metropolitan, or be imposed on the leased property, or its business, earnings, or ineome; that the Manhattan will save harmless the Metropolitan against all expenses of operat- ing the railways, and all claims and suits for injuries to persons and property, or for causing the death of any person, or for any other thing in the operation or management of the leased property, or for any breach of contract by the Manhattan in carrying on the business, and will defend all suits and claims brought against the Metropolitan in respect of any matter arising out of the management or operation of said railways since January 31, 1879, and that, in case the Manhattan shall at any time fail to pay in full said cash rental, "or the guarantied dividend aforesaid, as the same shall become pay- able, or fail or omit to keep and perform the covenants and agree- ments herein contained, or any of them, and continue in default in respect to the performance of such covenant or agreement, or pay- ments, for the period of 90 days," the Metropolitan may enter on the leased railways and premises, and thenceforth hold, possess, and en- ]oy them as of its former estate, and, upon such entry, the interest of the Manhattan therein shall cease. The Manhattan then agrees with the Metropolitan that it will execute, acknowledge, and deliver "any and all instruments for the more effectually assuring unto the Metropolitan" "the payment of the cash rental and dividends herein- before reserved or agreed to be paid." On the same twentieth of May, 1879, an agreement of lease, in writing, was executed by the Manhattan and the New York, in like terms, in all respects, mutatis mutaudis, with the one between the Manhattan and the Metropolitan. Under these agreements of lease the Manhattan proceeded to oper- ate the railways of the other two companies.

What, then, ia the fair inference as to the intent of con- gress respecting the lands within the overlapping limita at the Junc- tion of the roads ? Could it have been the purpose of the grantor that the trustee should so administer the grant as to give the whole of the lands at that point, lying as they did within the limita as to both roads, to the short and comparatively unimportant line of road? Of what avail would it have been as to the great purposes of congress, and with respect to the considerations stipulated for by the United States, if by the aid of the lands granted the short line from the state line to Sioux City had been eompleted, and the main line left incom- plete at a point 80 or 90 miles east of the point of intersection? Most certainly we can arrive at no conclusion other than that it was the intention of congress to divide the lands at the point of intersec- tion between the two enterprises. What possible reason can there be, in the absence of express words, to impute to congress an inten- tion to give all the lands at the point of junction to one or the other of the two enterprises? Such a disposition of the lands would, in our judgment, do violence to the intent of the grantor, which, if pos- sible, ought to prevail. As a matter of course, the intent of congress to give the lands to one or both roads was dependent upon the performance of the con- ditions of the grant; in other words, upon the construction of the roads according to the terms of the act and the legislative will of the trustee. To illustrate this view, suppose congress should in the same act make a grant to two parallel roads running so near to eaeh other as to give rise to overlapping limits, would it not be the manifest intention of the grantor, in the absence of words to the contrary, that the lands should be divided between the two enterprises ? The pur- pose of such a grant would be to secure the building of two roads, but by giving all the lands to one road the building of the other would be defeated, and thus the purpose of the grantor would be thwarted. But the United States is not the only party to the grant. There are other parties benefieially interested in it. The consideration for the grant is to be performed by the railway companies eontracting with the trustee to do the work, and the question arises, when ia their right to the land complete ? Their right is certainly not taade com- plete by the mere establishment of the deonite line of their road. Neither is their title to their line consummated by a grant to them by the ti'ustee ; or, in other words, by an act of the state legislature giv- ing them the lands.

Again, in section 3: " When said raiiroad shall have been builfc and conatructed to the point of intersection with the Sioux City & St. Paul Kailroad, etc., the governor shall patent, etc., to said Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Company all the remaining lands belonging to and embraced in said grant appertaining to their line of raiiroad, including all or any part or moiety of the lands in said over- lapping limits which by the terms of the act of congress appertain to their line of road." We regard the eighth proposition, now under consideration, as the strongest and most cogent relied upon by the respondent's counsel, and it brings back our minds to the true and decisive question of the case, namely, what is in this respect the true construction of the act of congress granting the lands ? Was it the intention of the grantor that the lands in dispute should be applied to the building of two roads instead of one, and held in common by the companies, f ulfilling the conditions of the grant? Or is it the true construction of the grant that one of the companies might by priority of location and construction entitle itself to the ■vrhole of the lands within the over- lapping limits to the entire exclusion of the other ? If this is the true construction, it was competent for the executive department of the federal government and the trustee to patent the lands for the use and benefit of the defendant corporation to the exclusion of the com- plainant. But if, as we hold, it was the purpose of congress and is the true construction of the act that the lands should be applied to the build- ing of hoth roads; that no one company could by mere priority entitle itself to any exclusive rightj that, on the contrary, the other company, by actually building its line to the point of junction, in accordance with the terms of the grant and the legislative will of the trustee, would entitle itself to equal participation in the lands, — then it was not competent for the executive department or the trustee to give the lands exclusively to the defendant company. If our construction of the grant be correct, the defendant company, by building their line of road, could "earn," so to speak, no more land than the law gave them, — that is, one undivided half of them; and if, by the action of the ex- ecutive department and the trustee, they obtain the legal title to the whole of the lands, they must hold them subject to the trusts created by the grant in favor of the other company. This trust equity will enforce according to its own well-known remediai processes. Mr. Secretary Delano's decision, which seems to be the source of the defendant's claim of exclusive right, proceeded upon the sole ground of priority of location and construction.

The eviclonoe as to the transfer of the note by the Macou Bank & Trust Company to the plaintiff was, in brief, as follows : J. W. Cabaniss, cashier of the Maeon Bank & Trust Company, was swoni by the defendant, and testifled that he, as cashier, " made the tratisfer of the note for the Macon Bank & Trust Company to the plaintiff. The Macon Bank & Trust Company is in liquidation. It has ceased to do business, and all its afifairs are in charge of the president, Mr. G. B. Roberts, and myself, as cashier. I made the transfer of this note to the plaintiff after consultation with Mr. Roberts. The directors of the Macon Bank & Trust Company were not consulted about it. It is not customaiy for the president and myself to consult them. They have left to us the winding up of the assets of the bank. For the note, Mr. Roberts paid me his check on the Exchange Bank for $3,000 at the time of the transfer in 1879. I am also cashier of the Exchange Bank, and Mr. Roberts is a director of that bank. The check for 03,000 I have never collected. It is among the assets of the Macon Bank & Trust Company. Roberts has always had enough money in the Exchange Bank to pay the check, except, perhaps, occasionally his deposit may have run below that amount ; but the Exchange Bank would have paid the check at any time. Roberts has no control whatever of the check. There is no agreement that the clieck shall not be collected. There is no entry of this transfer on the books of the Macon Bank & Trust Company. There are a great many trans- actions of the Company not yet entered up on the books ; but I have data from which I can post them all up." Benjamin G. Rockett, the defendant, was also sworn, and testifled that at the time of the maturity of the note he was abundantly solvent, and worth largely more than the amount of the note. G. B. Roberts, sworn for plaintiff, said: " I was indebted to the plaintiff in 1879 to the amount of $8,000. I gave her a mortgage on realty to secure $5,000, and gave to her as collateral security for the remaining $3,000 the note now in suit, for which I gave the Macon Bank & Trust Company my check for $3,000; at the same time (March, 1879) I had the cashier of the coinpany indorse the note to the plaintiff. I do not remember whether the plaintiff ever had the note in possession. It was turned over to Bacon & Ruth- erford, attorneys at law, with a letter from her. She is my niece. If the plain- tiff should get judgment in this case and collect the whole amount of the note from the defendant, I am under no obligation to pay back to the Macon Bank & Trust Company the excess of that amount over $3,000, for which I gave my check. At the time I gave the check, which was for about 50 per cent, of the amount of the note, there were doubts about the sol vency of the defendant ; at least, it was known that he was heavily in debt. While under no obligation, I would not be willing as president to malce a profit ont of the bank, and I should pay to the bank the excess of the recovery over the $3,000." The court held that the plea in this case, although filed as a plea to the jurisdiction, was in reality a plea in bar, being, in substance, a deniai of the plaintiff's title and right to sue, and overruled the demurrer to the defendant's plea on the grounds that the contract of<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> trmi3r398lz3g8numn7f5xy48aw9nik Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/492 104 702860 15134788 8170113 2025-06-14T22:22:38Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDK → FEDE, FEDEK → FEDER, REPOB → REPOR, TEB. → TER., removed: � (6) 15134788 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>480 FEDERAL REPORTER. Butler, D. J. Subsequently to the injunction in this case, the defendants constructed a machine corresponding to a section of the old Andersen machine, (the patent for which has expired,) and con- tinued the manufacture of waxed paper by this means. The plain- tiff, charging that the process thus employed infringes his, as de- scribed in the fifth claim of his patent, asks for an attachment to prevent its further use, and to punish the alleged disregard of his injunction. It is not charged that the machine is similar to the plaintiff's, and infringes the claims of his patent in this respect, but simply that his process is employed, in violation of the claim for this. In passing upon the validity of the plaintiff's patent, and the con- struction of its severaL claims, we adopted the judgment of the cir- cuit court for the southern district of New York, in Hammerschlag v. Scamoni, (involving the same patent,) [reported T Fed. Eep. 58'i,] for the sake of consistency and uniformity, without critical examina- tion of the reasons on which the judgment was based. Whether the fifth claim, under consideration, is for a process, or simply for the combination of machinery previously described and claimed in sep- arate parts, is a debatable question, which we did not, for the rea- sons stated, esteem it proper to enter upon. In the case cited it was decided to be for a process * * * consisting of successive steps, * * * four in number," as follows: First, "moving the paper over and in contact with a heated cylinder, which acts to spread the wax on the surface of the paper; second, heating the un waxed surface to spread and fuse the wax into the fabric of the paper; third, remov- ing the surplus wax ; and, foiirth, remelting and polishing the wax upon the surface," — these several steps being performed "substan- tially as set forth" in the specifications. The plaintiff's present posi- tion, that this process covers all methods of making waxed paper by machinery, "and, therefore, whether or not the defendants carry on the making of waxed paper by machinery, by the complainant's par- ticular method, or by a new mode devised by themselves, and which dispenses with some of the steps used by the plaintiff in his particu- lar mode, makes no difference whatever as l'egards infringement," can- not be adopted. It is clearly unsound, His invention, as described by himself and in his own language, is "for an improvement relat- ing to a means for heating the wax and applymgit to the paper, removing the surplus wax, ana. polishing the surface," — which "improved means" are particularly described in the specifications and embraced in the claims, — the fifth of which reads as follows :<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> eidp5yd5j8rzaguz4kp3mh6ahe818x2 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/496 104 702864 15134789 8170117 2025-06-14T22:22:39Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, DERAL BE → DERAL RE, removed: � (13) 15134789 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>484 FEDERAL REPOUTEK. and we are without any decision of the supreme court to guide us in the matter. The decisions of the various circuit and district courts re- ported, in which the precise question of this case has been aiiswered, are very numerous, and as conflicting as the testimony of witnesses in a collision case. In this circuit, the rule followed by the district judge in this case, in favor of the recorded mortgage, has prevailed since 1877. It may, therefore, be set down as an open question, in the country at large, to remain so until the supreme court shall finally settle it. The whole question seems to turn upon the effect to be given to sec- tion 4192 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, which de- clares that — "No bili of sale, mortgage, hypothecation, or eonveyance of any vessel or part of any vessel, of the Unitecf States, shall be valid against any person other than the gi'antor or mortgagor, bis heirs and devisees, and persons hav- ing actual notice thereof, unless such bill of sale, mortgage, hypothecation, or conveyance is i-ecorded in the office of the collector of the customs where such vessel is registered or enrolled. The lien by bottomry on any vessel, created during her voyage, by a loan of money, or materials necessary to repair or enable her to prosecute a voyage, shall not, however, lose its priority, or be in any way affeeted by the provisions of this section." The question is, does this section create a lien in favor of a mort- gage reeorded according to its provisions ? The language of the sec- tion is in the negative form. If put in the affirmative form, on the theory of its creating liens or granting rights, then the following three propositions comprise the whole substance, as far as said sec- tion declares liens or rank of liens : (1) Bottomry liens, etc., shall not be affeeted by recordation or non-recorda- tion. (2) A reeorded conveyance or mortgage, etc., shall be valid against all persons. (3) An unrecorded conveyance or mortgage shall be valid against the grantor or mortgagor, his heirs and devisees, and persons having actual notice. It ought to follow, then, that if this section gives a lien to reeorded mortgages, it gives one also, though of a limited scope, to unrecorded mortgages. And as liens created by congress are superior in rank to state liens, it follows that an unrecorded mortgage has priority over state liens. Again, considering from the lien hypothesis, the lien given by sec- tion 4192 to a reeorded mortgage ranks the lien given by state laws to material-men.

The defendant Stivers ia the collector of the internai revenue of the United States for the eleventh collection dis- trict in the state of New York, residing at Middletown, Orange county, New York ; the defendant Corwin is his deputy collector, residing at Newburgh, in said county; and the defendant Blake is the collector of the internai revenue of the United States for the third collection district in the state of New York, residing in the city of New York. AU of the defendants and the plaintiff are citizens of the state of New York. Tke plaintiff resides in the town of Cornwall, Orange county, New York, and is the widow of Thomas Kensett, late of Baltimore, Maryland, deceased. Before her intermarriage with Kensett she was the wife of Marquis T>. L. Sharkey, from whom she obtained a decree of di- vorce a vinculo matrimonii on the first of June, 1870, in the supreme court of the state of New York, which decree is in force. She was born in December, 1843, and was married to Sharkey in April, 1864. Sharkey at some time commenced some business arrangements with the firms hereinafter mentioned, or one of them, engaged in the tobacco trade in the city of New York.

The strict rules of evidence rigidly enforced will not always prevent such a condition of things. The practice of the courts in this state allows great latitude to counsel in the management and argument of a cause, and I am not disposed to restrict or interfere with the well-recognized rights and privileges of attorneys. I know what are the rights and duties of the court, and I will now proceed to divest this trial of all matters which I regard as immaterial and irrelevant to the merits of the case, so that your minds may be directed to the material questions in con- troversy. In the examination of Mr. Sumner, one of the witnesses for the plaintiffs, he stated that he was a duly-authorized agent in the prose- jution of this action, and he had agreed with the plaintiffs to pay all costs and incidental expenses of the trial, and he was to receive one- half of the lands and damages that might be recovered. After the argument had commeuced, and one of the counsel for the plaintiffs had addressed the jury, one of the counsel for the defend- ants, in opening his argument, made a motion to dismiss the action, on the ground that it was tainted by a champertous contract between the plaintiffs and their agent. The motion was not then entertained by the court, as it was not made in apt time. The counsel then requested the court, in the charge to the jury, to define the crime of champerty, and charge the jury that the said agent was guilty of the said offence. The definition of the offence given by the learned counsel was correct. At the common-law if a person officiously interfered in a suit, in which he had no present or prospective interest, to assist one of the parties against the other, with money or advice, without any authority of law, he was guilty of the crime of maintenance. Champerty is an aggravated species of maintenance. It is a bargain with the plaintiff or defendant (campum partire) to divide the land or other matter sued for between them if they prevaii at law, the champertor undertaking to carry on the suit at his own expense. I have given the definition requested, but I decline to charge you as to the guilt of the agent, for the matter alleged is a crime at common law. I regard it as one of the highest duties of a judge not to pronounce a judgment or opinion as to the guilt of a person, even in the most trifling case, until he has had an opportunity in due course of law to make explanation or defence. Even if there should be a champertous consideration in the contract between the plaintiffs and their agent, it does not affect the merits of this action, as we are not called upon to enforce or invali-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 960964w6fveridzgeh74ytpax0onw0x Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/546 104 702914 15134792 8170173 2025-06-14T22:22:42Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (7) 15134792 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>534 FEDERAL RBPORTER. to look beyond the deoree of a court having jurisdietion of the sub- ject-matter, for the exercise of jurisdietion warrants the presumption in favor of a pnrchaser that the facts necessary to be proved to con- fer jurisdietion were proved. When L. G. Thompson purchased he acquired a good title, and he had title when he conveyed to the pres- ent defendants in 1863 ; but the proceedings for condamnation and sale, and the title of the purehasers, all became void on the downfall of the de facto government. I think the rule of law heretofore stated as to parties in an action for the recovery of land claiming from the same source of title does not apply. The defendants do not claim from the ancestors of the plaintiff, but such title as they once had was derived from the confederate government, and on the downfall of that government they became mere occupants of the land under color of title. As to the possession and color of title of the defendants I will make extended reference hereafter, when I corne to consider the issue on this subject. There is still another matter which I wish to withdraw from your consideration. In 1865 this state was under the military control of the United States. One of the defendants being in possession at that time of the lands in controversy, and being apprehensive that he might be disturbed or disposseased by the military authority, weut to a per^ son who, before the war, had been the agent of some of the heirs of Yates & Mcintyre, and proposed to take a lease from him to secure possession against military interference. This person had no au- thority to act in the matter, as his power of attorney had become void by the death of the grantors. The lease which was executed was not intended by the parties as a honafide lease, but was for the purposes stated, and no effort was ever made to colleet the sums agreed upon in said lease. The lease was void, as the pretended lessor had no authority to make it, and it did not have the effect of establishing the relation of landlord and tenant between the defendant and the heirs at law of Yates & Mcintyre. You are, therefore, charged not to consider this matter in making up your verdict. In an action like this a plaintiff can only recover upon the strenqth of his own title. For the purpose of showing title the plaintiffs intro- duced a deed from Ward, the sheriff of Gaston county, who, under an execution at law, had sold the lands and executed said deed to the purehasers, Yates & Mcintyre, dated September, 1835. The plain- tiffs introduced no other deeds showing a chain of title back to the state. For the purpose of showing title out of the state they intro- duced evidence tending to prove that the lands ^vere occupied as far<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> fqr292vmo2o4lrbnf8xvf0gm6hkz7c9 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/582 104 702950 15134793 8170213 2025-06-14T22:22:43Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (16) 15134793 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>570 FEDERAL REPORTER. approved credibility, a court oi law must belisve what he says under oath and under cross-examination, concerning facts which have oc- curred within his own knowledge, in preference to the isola ted min- utes of an ofGcer who was not on oath and was not cross-examined as to any of the explanatory circumstances which may have existed at the time. Yet I am free to admit that these minutes often afford to a court invahiable assistance in correcting extravagances of state- ment on the part of ignorant or unscrupulous witnesses. The values agreed upon for the property saved are : For the ship, valued in Baltimore, - - - - - $ 36,000 For the cargo, - 150,000 For the freight from Galveston to Liverpool, ... 14,000 $200,000 After the ship was valued repairs were put upon her which cost $13,677.59, THE LEGAL FEATUBES OF THE CASE. To the case whose leading facts have thus been recited I am now to apply the principles of the law of salvage, and ascertain by their guidance the amount of money to be awarded for the successf ul service which has been described. Although it is true that this amount lies within the discretion of the judge, yet he is not at liberty to render an arbitrary judgment at his own individual discretion or caprice, — a ritsticumjudicium, — but must be governed in his award by the teachings of precedents and the recognized principles of the law of salvage. That this is a case of salvage — that is to say, a case for bounfy as well as wages — is conceded by the respondent, who admits that one-tenth of the value saved would not be an undue compensation. The libel- lant claims half, and my own duty is simply that of determining the amount of compensation to be awarded. Being a case of salvage, it is not one of mere wages, pro opere et labore, nor a case of quantum nieruit, in the sense that the work is to be paid for in an amount ascer- tained by applying the ordinary rules of remuneration for personal services; but it is a salvage claim for services which could not have been compensated at all except in the event of success, and which not only embraces wages for the work and labor done, and adequate remuneration for outlays of time, labor, and means according to their actual value, but also embraces a reward for having roscued property from the peril of the sea, under circumstances of risk and danger to the salvor and his property, and in the face of the contingency of get-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> dou8usatsby915xa93qzfpden9n0thj Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/586 104 702954 15134794 8170217 2025-06-14T22:22:44Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (10) 15134794 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>574 FEDERAL REPORTER. weather at the time was not tempestuous, the probability of its becoming so, aad the ignorance or knowledge, as the case may be. of the master or other person on board the vessel." With these points in \iew, I will comment briefly upon the case of the Sandringham. 1. That the ship was in imminent danger, at several periods of the work of saving her, is perfectly plain. Her master, Capt. McKay, had utterly despaired of saving her himself. She had beached at 5 p. M. on the fifth of November. He had left her two hours afterwards to call for help, and did not return until 12 m. the next day. During the early morning of the 6th, when it may have been practicable for him to lay his anchors outside by using the ship's boats, and to have taken measures for pulling her off the beach with a cable, as was actually done in the sequel, he failed to make the effort, and did noth- ing during the 24 hours after the ship had beached, even to prevent her from thumping against the ground. In fact, he did nothing at all for 24 hours, for the help of the ship, except to keep the pumps going part of the time. It is abundantly proved that when the wreckers took charge, whatever might have been the case before, the ship was too deep in the sand, and had too much water in her hold and in the ballast tank, and too much avoirdupois of cargo on her decks, to be got off the beach by tugs or tows of any degree of power. There was no recourse but to plant anchors out beyond the breakers to lay a cable to them from the ship to lighten her of the burden upon her, and then to pull her off shore — none of which her own master and crew were capable of doing. The resuit shows that this course had become indispensable at 6 p. M. on the 6th, when the wreckers took charge ; for with all their extraordinary force of men, material, and machinery the wreckers were unable for five days of lightering the ship, and of constant heav- ing on the cable, to wrench the ship out from the dangerous sand- bed in which Capt. McKay left her; and, even on the fifth day, they succeeded in moving her, according to the log-book, only 30 feet.* That the condition of ship and cargo was hopeless without the aid of the wreckers, is shown by her master's failure to do anything for her relief for 24 hours after the beaching ; by his earnest calls for helpi from Norfolk; and by leaving his ship with her crew to seek Personal safety, apparently in despair of her, 24 hours after the *See note on page 565, where it is conjectured that the second mate meant yards or fathoms when he wrote feet in the log-book.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> bv2aocu8l903pt039z0c6mymbtjief5 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/634 104 703002 15134796 8170272 2025-06-14T22:22:46Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FKDE → FEDE, FEDERAIi → FEDERAL , TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, BBPO → REPO, removed: � (15) 15134796 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>422 FEDERAL REPORTER. that it should be honestly, laid out, built, and carried through. For this reaaon the character of the plaintifif, as a constructor and manager of railroads, seems to me to be open to public discussion -when he cornes forward with so great and important a project affectiug many interests besides those of the shareholders of one road; and that, therefore, the defendants, or any other persons, have the qualified privilege whioh attaches to discussions of public affairs. The dis- tinction is this : that when a railroad is to be built, or a company to build it is to be chartered, the question whether it shall be authorized is a public one; when the company is organized and the stock is issued, anything whioh merely afiects the value of the stock is private.

In James v, Downes, 18 Ves. 522, 525, Lord Eldon says: "The court can never intend that the plaintiii, having obtained the order gi'anting the injunction, is to lie by for four montbs as if it bad not been granted. The court, interposing to assist the plaintiff, and pre- vent his losing the benefit of the process while he is actually pursu- iug it, cannot consider him entitled, under the order, for three or four months together;" and for the plaintiff's laches in that case in cntering the order, though the defendant knew of the decision of the court. Lord Eldon dismissed the motion to punish the disobe- dience of it. In this case no reason existed for not observing the ordinary rule requiring service of the order upon Youmans and his attomey. In consequence of failure to do so, a long controversy has sprung up, occupied largely on the part of the bankrupt in endeavoring to prove knowledge of the injunction through indirect sources. His attorney has presented the matter with a zeal and care and thoroughness which, in a worthier subject, would deserve the highest praise; but, in my judgment, the court should refuse to entertain such close controversies of fact, concerning indirect notice, which arise solely through the laches of the parties in serving the original injunction order, and through the non-observance, without excuse, of the ordinary rule requiring personal service or notice of the injunction order, where practicable, in order to bring the party into contempt.

The cinnamon, consisting of 9,364 pounds, was imported by De Visser for Townsend, Glinch & Dyke. It was sold to them in bond at 10 cents per pound; was transferred to them shortly after impor- tation, and a memorandum thereof made on June 21, 1871, upon the withdrawal ledger of the custom-house. None of the cinnamon having been withdrawn, nor any of the du- ties paid, the goods were advertised for sale by the collector on the ninetoenth of July, 1876, as "abandoned goods. " This sale was post- poned by the collector, without the knowledge or consent of the defend- ants, upon the receipt of the following letter from the secretary of the treasury: "Treasuhy Department, "Washington, D.

The case of De Visser, the principal in the bond, is different. It does not appear that upon his sale to Townsend, Clinch & Dike the latter personally assumed to pay the duties, or, if they did, that the officers of the government were apprised of that fact. The govern- ment, therefore, had no other principal to look to than De Visser. He was liable for the whole duties as importer, without limitation of time and irrespeetive of the goods held as security. U. S. v. Phelps, 17 Blatchf. 312, 316; Du7nont v. U. S. 98 U. S. 142, 144; U.S. y. Coiisinery, 7 Ben. 251; U. S. v. Westray, 18 Wall. 322. It does not appear, therefore, that he ever became, even in equity, a surety for any other person as principal to whom he eould look for indemnity. The postponement of the sale involved, as respects him, no increase of risk, and no defeat or postponement of any right of reconrse against another. His liability to be called on for payment might, upon suf- ficient facts proved, be postponed in equity, irrespective of the stat- ute, until a sale of the goods had been had ; but this equitable right bas been observed. The injury to him, if any, would consist solely in delay in disposing of the security; and that alone, without notice from him to sell, or damages proved, is no defenoe. Judgment must, therefore, be rendered in favor of the defendant Turnure, and against the defendant De Visser, with costs. As the questions involved concern the daily transactions of the gov- ernment to a large amount, I have given to the subject, in the absence of any known adjudications, the consideration which its im- portance has seemed to demand.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 5iuw533xacfhygzmt42qi8bv6ls0dsf Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/676 104 703044 15134801 8170316 2025-06-14T22:22:51Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: EDEBAL → EDERAL , TEB. → TER., OBTER → ORTER, removed: � (13) 15134801 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>661 fEDERAL iiEPORTER. Liegeois v. McCracken.* (Circuit Court, S. D. New York. February 8, 1882.) 1. PkACTICB — DkMUREBR TO CoMPIiAINT. A complaint which alleges that the paroi contract sued on was valid under the lawof the statewhere itwaa made and to be performed, and that it was for a good consideration, is net demurrable on the ground that it does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. On Demurrer. An action was brought on a paroi contract, made by the defendant in Connecticut with the plaintiff, at the time residing there, but whom the defendant had the year before seduced in the state of California. In consideration of the seduction the defendant promised to pay the plaintiff annually during her life, for her board, the sum of $500, in monthly payments, and also such sums, not exceeding $500 a year, as should be necessary for her clothing. Payments were made by defendant for about a year, when he refused further to perform his contract. Such a contract by the laws of Connecticut, where it was made and was to be performed, was a valid contract, and the consid- eration sufficient in law to sustain an express promise made by the defendant to make reparation for injuries sustained by past seduc- tion. Francis Fellowes, for plaintiff. E. J. Dooley, for defendant. Blatchfoed, C. J. The complaint does not appear to be demur- rable, as showing on its face that it does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. It sets forth that the contract sued on was a paroi contract made in Connecticut, and to be performed there, and that by the law of Connecticut it was and is a valid contract in law, and the consideration for it, set forth in the complaint, was a good consideration for the promises contained in the contract. This seems to be so by the decision in Smith v. Richards, 29 Conu. 232. But, even if not so, the complaint alleges it to be so, and hence is not demurrable for the cause alleged. The defendant may answer in 20 days on payment of costs. *Reported by S.

But in that case the corporation, by having a principal office, a general agent for all purposes, and a local board of directors in New Orleans, was prac- tically domiciled there, and there was no hardship in requiring serv- ice of process to be made on its general agent. It was, besides, proved affirmatively that the agent in the interior had no other authority, and was known to have none other, than to take risks. On the general principles so ably euforced by Chief Justice Green, I would not feel justified in treating as a nullity the judgment of the court of Louisiana virtually establishing the validity of the service of process on the business agent of a non-resident Insurance Com- pany, issued to commence a suit founded on a transaction with that agent, even if there were no statute in Louisiana authorizing such service. But the statute of that state, passed in 1877, cornes in aid of the general principle, and seems to have expressly rendered such an agent as Taber was, amenable to the process which was served on him. Though the last clause of the first section of that act seems to imply that some one agent of every non-resident Insurance company shall be the person empowered to be served with and to accept service of process for the whole state, yet the act speaks nowhere of a "gen- erai" agent, as the defendant's plea does; and the first clause of sec- tion 1 and the whole tenor of section 4 unite in providing that every agent who does business for a non-resident insurance company in the state, either in taking risks, or i*eceiving premiums, or transacting any business, shall first have been appointed and empowered respecting process, as provided in the first section. If so, then Taber must be pre- sumed to have been so empowered, and the defendant would not be heard to deny that it bas, in respect to him, complied with the re- quirements. of the statute. For a corporation to seek to avoid its own contract by reason of a misnomer is reprehended by Lord Coke as a pernicious novelty, which "till this generation of late times was never read of in any of our books." Sir Moyle Finch' s Case, 6 Bep. 65a. Surely a corporation's neglect to produce a certificate neces- sary to vindicate itself and its agent from crime, should not be al- lowed to exempt it from liability for that agent's aets. There is abundant authority to show that a suit may be main- tained upon a foreign judgment recovered in a country of which the defendant, even though a natural person, was a citizen or resident, according ta the laws of that country, though process was never in fact served upon him at all; and that such a judgment will not be deemed void as repugnant to natural justice.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> lyaofcquoexek3012gkmwd9dtn2f947 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/728 104 703097 15134804 8170373 2025-06-14T22:22:54Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: wlie → whe, tlie → the, j' → y , POBT → PORT, PORTEB → PORTER, removed: � (9) 15134804 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>716 FEDERAL SEPORTER, of that, either when it employed them, or at some time before the happening of this injury to the plaintiff. If there is no proof beforo you that the railroad company had any such notice ; if at the time of employing these persons they had no reason to believe that they were incompetent, — then the plaintiii cannot recover upon the ground that these parties complained of were known to be incompetent and unfit perEons. The dame rule substantially applies to the question of the suffi- ciency of the machinery. The railroad company agrees, when they employ a man to work for them, that they will furnish him with rea- sonably safe and convenient implements and machinery with which to perform his duties. If theyfail in this, and the employe isinjured on that account, and without fault of his own, they are liable. As I have said before, the only question here with regard to the machinery is whether the absence of the link from the tender is such a defect in the machinery as the plaintiff had no reason to apprehend ; whether it was an unusual thing, and in consequence of it the plaintiff was subjected to extraordinary dangers and perils. If you find that it was not unusual to have the links left off the tender, then the plain- tiff, of course, was bound to be advised of that fact, and cannot re- cover upon that ground. But if you find that it was the duty of the railroad company always to have the link on the tender, and that the failure to do that was to leave the machinery in an unusually dan- gerous condition, the fact would gjve the plaintiff the right to re- cover. At the request of the defendant's counsel I instruct you to find epecially upon the following questions : (1) Was the assistant yard-master a competent person for that position ■\ 'hen employed and put to work by the defendant as such assistant yard-mas- ter ¥ (2) At the time of the injury in question was the assistant yard-mas- ter an unsuitable and incompetent person for that position, to the knowledge of the defendant? (3) When employed and put in charge of the engine in question, was the engineer, Mr. Dean, a competent person for that position ? (4) At the time of the injury in question was the engineer in charge of the engine in question an incompetent and unsuitable person for that position, to the knowledge of the defendant ? If you find for the plaintiff, you will come to the question of dam- ages. This is a question very largely in your discretion, limited only by the duty which devolves upon you not to find excessive or unrea- Bonable damages. You will, if you come to this question, have to consider the nature and extent and permanency of the plaintiff 's ir-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> d8jsppcz1dpdtc33rs8jkiby4h9idii Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/748 104 703117 15134805 8170395 2025-06-14T22:22:55Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: PORTBR → PORTER, removed: � (8) 15134805 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>736 FEDERAL REPORTER. upon this question the guilt or innocence of defendant depends. If, then, you shall find that another school of equal merit had been provided, reasonably accessible to the witness, offering the same, or substantially the same, educational facilities and advantages, said witness ought to have availed himself of it, and was subject to no wrong in being excluded from the other; and in that event your verdict ought to be for defendant. But, if the contrary is true, the defendant would be guilty, and you ought so to find, Take and con- sider the case, and report your verdict to the court. The jury disagreed. NOTE. 1. Public Sohools. The question in the principal case as to the consti- tutionality of laws providing separate schools for colored children doea not arise, as has been sometimes supposed, under the clause of the four- teenth amendment prohibiting the states from making and enforcing " any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of eittzem of the United States." This provision refers only to those privileges and immunities which are derived as citizens of the United States, as distinguished from those derived as citizens of the state. In the Slarighte7-hoxise Cases, 16 Wall. 36, this distinction is pointed eut, and the general character of the rights embraced within each class explained. The right to attend the public schools of a state clearly does not corne within the flrst class. Education is a subject of domes- tie concem. The legislature of a state may determine to have no System of public instruction at all; but when it has ereated such a System, the clause of the fourteenth amendment, prohibiting any state from denying " to any jjerson loithin its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws," controls the power of the state over the enjoyment of the rights eonferred by such System. The weight of authority accords with the view of the learned judge deciding the principal case, that this provision still leaves it within the discretion of the legislatures of the several states to provide separate schools for colored children. These cases maintain that equality of rights does not involve the necessity of educating white and colored persons in the same school, any more than it does that of educating children of both sexes, or of keeping different grades of scholars, in the same school ; that " equality of righfjs does not neces- sarily imply identity of rights." But all these decisions hold that the advan. tages aflorded by such schools must be, in all respects, substantially equal to those furnished by the schools for white pupils. Bertonneau v.

It will be seen I5y the author- ities hereafter referred to that wh crever carriers or inn-keepers have been permitted to provide separate accommodations, that it bas been required that such accommodations should afford equal advantages and facUities in every respect with thoae furnished whites; and even this discrimination, limited as I have mentioned, is not clearly justifiable. Cooley, Torts, 283 et seq.; Westchester, etc., R. Co. v. Miller, 55 Pa. St. 200. The case of Railroad Co. v. Brown, 17 Wall. 446, arose under an act grant- ing certain privileges to a railroad company, which provided that "no person shall be excluded f rom the cars on account of color ;" and the supreme court of the United States held " that this meant that persons of color should travel iu the same cars that white ones did, and along with them in such cars ; and that the enaetment was not satisfled by the company providing cars assigned exclusively to persons of color, though they were as good as tiiose assigned exclusively for white persons, and, in fact, the very cars which were, at cer- tain times, assigned exclusively to white persons." In Chicago, etc., Ry. Co. v. Williams, 55 111. 185; S. C. 8 Am. Rep. 641, (1870,) it was held that, if a car had been set apart for the exclusive use of ladies, and gentlemen accom- panied by ladies, a colored woman eould not be excluded upon the ground of her color; but the court suggested that the carrier's duty would probably be performed if it furnished a separate car or seats equally as comfortable for colored women. See Bay v. Owen, 5 Mich. 520, (1858;) Thompson, Car. Pass. 335; Hutchinson, Carriers. Where a colored lady passenger on a steam-boat was not permitted to dine in the cabin, but was ofEered accommo- dations on the guards or in the pantry, a recovery against the carrier was siis- tained. The court held that under the laws and constitution, and its amend- ments, of the state of Iowa and of the federal government, a person of color is entitled to the same rights and privileges when traveling as a white person, and cannot be required by any rule or custom, based on distinctions of race or color, to accept other or different accommodations than those furnished to white persons. Coger v. N. W. Union Pack. Co. 37 Iowa, 145. See this case referred to by Justice Clifford in Hall v. De Cuir, 95 U. S. 507, 508. A rail- road company may rightfully exclude from the ladies' car a female passenger whose reputation is so notoriously bad as to furnish reasonable grounds to believe that her conduct will be offensive, or whose demeanor at the time is annoying to other passengera ; but mere unchastity will not warrant her ex- clusion from such car whether she be white or colored. Brown v. Memphis, etc., R. Co. 5 FED. Eep. 499; 11 Hep. 424; 12 Cent. Law J. 442.

The pilot's testimony, that the schooner was about 300 yards off, about a point and a half on the starboard bow when first seen, and that she had no side lights, is confirmed by the testimony of the lookout, the man at the -wheel, the boatswain, and by the master of the steamer. Their statements as to the change in the schooner's sails differ somewhat, but not more than might be expected when it is considered that the pilot alone had the aid of glasses, and that some of these witnesses did not make out the hull and sails of the schooner until she was very close. They all agree, however, that at the moment of collision the sails were on the schooner's port side. A further analysis of the testimony of the persons on the steamer would be useless. We have become convinced that it is from their statements that we are to gather the facts of the collision, and we find no reason to disbelieve the substantial truth of the cause they assign for it. The principal difficulty I had at the first hearing arose from the testimony introduced by the libellants to impeach the boat- swain of the steamer. A number of wituesses have testified that after the steamer arrived in port the boatswain, on several occasions, made a different statement about the schooner's lights, sometimes in the presence of the lookout and the wheelaman, who did not dissent from what he said. If what these impeaching witnesses suppose the boatswain said in the conversations they report was really what he intended to say, (which he denies,) and he said what he believed to be true, then there ean be no truth in any of the testimony of the steamer's witnesses from first to last. If he did intend to say that the schooner's red light was visible, and that she did not change her course, the acceptance of these statements as true would involve the collision in so mutih that is unaccountable and irreconc^able, that we hardly see how we could have believed the boatswain if he had, as a witness, sworn to what is sought to be inferred from these chance conversations with him. That the boatswain had but little opportimity to carefully observe the schooner is obvious, He states that he was trimming the lamp of the pole-compass when he heard the light reported ; that as he came down onto the lower bridge he saw the s mail white light off on the starboard bow, and he took it to be an anchor-light. At that instant, he states, he heard the bells to stop, and, taking a better look, he saw the side of avessel, and that a collision was imminent. He sprang from the bridge to the deck and ran onto the top-gallant forecastle just in timeto see the schooner eut down and her mainmast fall over the steiuner's bow, driving every one off the foi-ecastle deck.

No question of law is involved; and very little space need be occupied in discussing the facts. An analysis of the testimony would require much time and labor, and be of little value. It is sufficient to say that, in the judgment of the court, neither of the allegations is eus- tained. Unleas the master and mate have sworn falsely, all the cargo shipped was delivered; and there is nothing to justify a belief that they have sworn falsely. A fair construction of the contract (in the light of surrounding cir- cumstances) seems to justify all the cutting of baies shown by the evidence. The object of cutting, and of the provision respecting it in the contract, was to provide for convenient stowage. It does not appear that any more baies were eut than was neeessary for this pur- pose. The obligation of the libellant, as respects delivery in "good con- dition," was an obligation for proper stowage, and did not extend beyond a requirement to comply with the usual custom of stowing such a cargo. The weight of the evidence justifies a belief that this custom was complied with. While the testimony here is conflicting, and the respondent's case was prepared with unusual care, and urged with much ability, a very patient examination bas satisfied me that the weight of the evidence is with the libellant. A decree must be entered against the respondent for freight, with costs.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> t9biaj8dq63yf2or3htgm55kphs3y8l Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/822 104 703192 15134809 14415115 2025-06-14T22:22:59Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: tho → the , FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, removed: � (19) 15134809 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>810 FEDERAL REPORTER.

I think the iirst temporary com- mitment is allowable, as it is for the benefit of the prisoner, and in no way savors of oppression. Such a mittimus will afford authority and protection to the marshal in transporting to the place of trial. As the marshal in this case followed the uniform practice of state sheriffs in transporting prisoners, I think his action is not censur- able. I have directed the clerk of this court to enter of record an order requiring the jailer of this county to keep the prisoners in his jail until they are discharged according to law. Whiting V.

F. Steffen, for the purpose of being repaired; that during those months the libellants, Charles Nelson, Peter Johnson, and Jonas Carlson, at the request of said Steffen, worked upon said boat as ship carpenters "at the agreed rate of wages" of four dollars per day, — Nel- son for 48 days, Johnson 22 days, and Carlson 29 days; that there is due said libellants on account of said labor as follows : To Nelson $192, to Johnson $88, and to Carlson $116, no part of which has been paid, and for which they each claim a lien upon said boat under the laws of Oregon and under the general admiralty law. The respondent, William Eeid, answering the libel, says in article 1 that the boat belongs to respondent, and was only in possession of Steffen to be repaired upon a contract between them, but that said Steffen was not the agent of said owner "for the purpose of procur- ing any work or labor" on said boat, nor for any "purpose save that of executing the work he had contraoted to do." In article 2 the respondent says that he is "ignorant" of the employment of the libel- lants upon the boat, and their claim to a lien thereon for their labor. The third article states, in effect, that Steffen abandoned his contract and the respondent was compelled to finish said repairs, and that there is now due said Steffen thereon the sum of $927.50, which sum the respondent is willing to pay to the creditors of the latter entitled thereto, but is prevented from so doing by the prooess of the state circuit court issued at the suit of Steffen's creditors, and asks that the respondent be discharged without costs. The libellants except to the second article of the answer as insufficient, and to the third article, and so much of the first as states that Steffen was not the agent of the respondent to employ the libellants, for impertinence. The exception for insufficienoy is disallowed. When a respondent has no knowledge conceruing the matter contained in any article of a libel, according to the precedents, it seems that it is sufficient to say that he is ignorant thereof ; though I think it would be well to require him also to state what his belief about the matter is, as in answer in chancery.

REPORTES. as follows: The N. E. J of the N. W. ^ of section 34, in towusbip No. 30 north, of range No. 15 west. The suit is founded in part upon a written contract entered into between the defendant Pati'ick Bellew on the one side, and Erastus Corning, Horatio Seymour, William Allen Butler, William Ef. Ogden, and other persons residing in the state of New York, and B. J. Stevens, residing in the state bf Wisconsin, land-owners, by Angus- tus Ledyard Smith, their attorney, on the other. This contract was made in Augast, 1875. The defendant Patrick Bellew was a.lum- berman residing in Wisconsin. The other parties to the contract were the owners in severalty of large quantities of pine lands lying in northern Wisconsin. By the contract they, through their agent, AugustuB Ledyard Smith, residing at Appleton,' Wisconsin, agree to sell to Bellew a quantity of pine lands lying in the county of St. Croix, the price to be determined by an estimate to. be afterwards made of the amount of pine timber upon each description of land at $2.50 an acre for the stumpage. They also agree to sell to Bellew the pine timber upon certain other lands described in the contract at the rate of |3. 50 per thousand feet for stumpage. Bellew is to build a saw-mill worth $9,000 upon one of the 40- acre tracts of land included in the contract, to be selected by him, and the other parties to the contract agree to give him title to the 40 acres so selected for the mill site, after which Bellew is to have the privilege of mortgaging the land selected for the mill site to an out- side party in the sum of $6,500, and then is to give a second mort- gage back to the other parties to the contract to secure the faithf ul performance of the contract. The material provision in the contract, on which the suit is in part founded, is as follows : "And the said party of the second part does hereby covenant and agree witTi the said parties of the flrst part, for and in consideration of one dollar, to him in hand paidj the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, to build, maintain, and erect a good, substantial saw-mill upon certain lands, to be hereinafter described ; the mill to be of the value of at least $9,000. The land upon which said mill is to be built is to be hereafter selected by the party of the second part, and the forty upon which it is built and erected is to be con- veyed by the parties of the tirst part, by good and sufflcient deed, conveying to the party of the second part the title thereof iu fee-siraple. And, the said party of the second part is to have the right to mortgage the forty upon which the said mill is built, after the same shall have beeu cqnvjeyed to him as aforesaid, to an outside or third party, in a sum not exceeding $6,500, and after the same is so mortgaged he covenanta and agrees to giVe to the party of the flrst part a second mortgage on the said laid upon wMch the- mill is built, as aforesaid, and which is couveyed to him, as aforesaid, :artd which said<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 27tn4xpukd6e1gybh7egqtxuhhs1adi Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/868 104 703238 15134813 8170522 2025-06-14T22:23:03Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FBD → FED, EDEBAL → EDERAL , REPOB → REPOR, TEB. → TER., removed: � (7) 15134813 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>856 FEDERAL REPORTER. (Hubbard's) mortgage was good, and that Hubbard should not lose anyfching on it. Smith was the agent who made the contract on the part of the land-owners in New York, and was their general agent and representative in thia state, and while the plaintiff'a case does not rest on this recognition of his rights by the defendants, such rec- ognition confirma the construction put upon the contract-deed trans- action by the court, and shows what the understanding of the parties was. That construction is also conurmed by the allegations of the defendant land-ownera in their bill of complaint against Bellew in the atate court, where they allege, and the court finds aa one breach of the contract on the part of Bellew, that he had failed to give them a second mortgage on the mill forty to secure the contract with him. Of course, aa they had never conveyed the mill forty to Bellew as they agreed in the contract, it was not essential to their aecurity that Bel- lew should mortgage back to them ; but the allegation serves to show the understanding of the contract, and that understanding coniports with the letter and plain intent thereof, and the construction now put upon it by the court. It is inaisted, also, by the defendants, that the contract between Hubbard and Bellew is void, as being within the atatute of frauds. But it ia evident that the statute of frauds has no application to the case. So far as the creation of any interest in land is concerned, the evidence is in writing, I think there should be a deoree in favor of the plaintiff ; that he should be adjudged to have a lien upon the mill 40 acres for the amount of $6,500, with interest at 7 per cent, from the time of fin- ishing, say February 6, 1876; and that the premisea be sold as under a mortgage proper, to satisfy the amount of his said claim, with in- terest and costs of suit, giving the uaual time of redemption.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> hfh070lw30lby799mrnniq2cil6qop9 Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/870 104 703240 15134814 8170525 2025-06-14T22:23:04Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: wliere → where, POBT → PORT, BBPO → REPO, PORTB → PORTE, removed: � (6) 15134814 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>85S .

Eveiy person who has in his possession, not in a manufactory, manufactured tobacco, in any quantity, unstamped, whether the same is refuse and wortli- less or otherwise, or whettier it had been purcliased to be remanufactured into snuff or not, or whether a tax had been paid on it prier to the passage of the act of congress making it criminal to have in possession unstamped manu- factured tobacco, is liable for the penalty imposed in section 71 of the act of 1868, (15 8t. at Large, 156.) 2.

On Motion for New Trial. [7. S. Atty. Role, for plaintiff. Mr. Marston, for defendant. Clark, D. J. The respondent was indicted undor the seventy-first section of the act of 1868, (15 St. at Large, 156,) for having in his possession on the first day of May, 1870, and from that time, in a certain barn, to the twenty-eighth day of the same May, and' not in a manufactory of tobacco, or in a bonded warehouse, 200 pounds of manufactured tobacco, without the proper stamps affixed thereto, and was fou ad guilty by the jury. It appeared in evidence that some time previous to May, 1870, the respondent purohased in Boston of Eussell & Willey some 226 pounds of tobacco, the remnants of vari- ous lots, of which they had previously sold the balance. It was manu- factured tobacco, in plugs, some "cavendish," some "navy," but dam- aged. The respondent paid 35 cents per pound for it, and it was packed in two barrels. When Eussell & Willey sold it it was un- stamped, and no taxes had been paid upon it, The respondent knew this and so purchased it. He gave his note in payment for it. When the note became due he deolined to pay it, becauae the tobacco had been afterwards sold in violation of law, and complained of Kus- sell for selling him unstamped tobacco, and caused him to be ar- rested.

Where an article is of great utility, has superseded older articles, and islargely recognized by the public and licensees as a useful invention, there is a stiong presumption in favor of its patentability. In Equity. Munson e Phillips, for plaintiff. J. B. Staples, for defendant. Blatchford, g. J. This suit is brought on lettera patent No. 202,735, granted to the plaintiff April 23, 1878, for an "improvement in sleeve supporters." Some time in 1873 the plaintiff invented a clasp. He applied for a patent for it on the thirty-first of August, 1874, and obtained a patent for it, (No. 156,429,) November 3, 1874. The specification of that patent speaks of the clasp as one "for stocking supporters or varioua other articles of wearing apparel." The clasp is composed of two jawed levers, pivoted together, and a spring arranged between them. The tail of each jaw-lever is made concavo-convex in transverse section, the lower lever, with its jaw, being extended within the upper lever and its jaw. At the place of connection of the two levers the lower one is puncbed inward on its flanks, so as to form two concavo-convex teats or projections. The epring is shaped or made of wire, and has an eye which is slipped upon the two teats, after which the upper jaw-lever is arranged with respect to the spring and the lower jaw-lever in proper position, and then is puncbed inward on its flanks, so as to enter the two teats, and thus the two levers are connected and pivoted together. The levers cover and protect the spring, and, as the specification says, prevent it "from being caught in the stocking or clothing," and from moving laterally or getting out of place. The specification says that each of the jaws may be notched or provided with teeth in its opposite edges, and that by having the jaws of the lower lever close into the concavity of the jaw of the upper lever a much better hold of the "material or stocking" will be secured than when the jaws abut together at their edges. The tail of the upper lever bas a slot-<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> 0zda177qf6bv9ewxzfv7mydbs5797sl Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/928 104 703298 15134820 8170586 2025-06-14T22:23:10Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: FEDEEAL → FEDERAL, removed: � (6) 15134820 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>916 FEDERAL REPORTER. javr. This construction is an equivalent construction for the closing of the lower jaw within the upper jaw, as shown in No. 156,429, and in the drawings of No. 202,735. The bending of the fabric, in the one case transversely and in the other case longitudinally, assists in holding it, though it by no means follows that No. 202,735 would not be infringed if the clasps had flush-meeting edges in the jaws, with a spring, or means of holding them together, sufBciently power- ful. No. 1 is a sleeve supporter having at each end of a piece of elas- tic webbing a clasp made of two jaws of springy metal, the end of each of which is a lip projecting towards the other jaw, one lip shut- ting inside of the other and the ends of the lips not meeting. There is a slide enclosing the shank of the two jaws, and the bite is made by sliding the slide towards the lips, which forces the lips together. Sliding the slide in the reverse direction allows the jaws to open, which they do by their springy action, they being set to stand open unless made to shut. They shut against the action of the spring, while in the plaintiff's form the clasp opens against the action of the spring. The form of clasp in No. 1 is substantially the clasp shown in the Ellis patent, No. 137,539, granted April 8, 1873. But that patent shows that Ellis contemplated the use of only one clasp, and that at the top of a stocking, while above the supporter was to be attached by a button to a waistband. No. 1 has all the points of advantage of the plaintiff's structure. It has an automatio clasping device at each end, consisting of clamping jaws, and the structure as a whole, and in its parts, and in their oo-operation to effect the resuit produced by the whole, is the equivalent of the plaintifi's structure. The change in the springy action, to hold open instead of to hold shut, is imma- terial in regard to the action of the structure as a whole. There was nothing in the Ellis clasp by itself to indicate the plaintiff's supporter or No. 1, any more than there was anything in the plaintiff's clasp by itself to indicate the plaintiff's supporter or No. 2. On the foregoing considerations it must be held that both No. 1 and No. 2 infringe the second claim of No. 202,735, and there must be a decree to that effect, and for an account of profits and damages, with a perpetuai injunction, and costs to the plaintiff.<noinclude> <references/></noinclude> k4ea8d2r4kfdj0zpqg5kxje002pn64i Page:Federal Reporter, 1st Series, Volume 10.djvu/932 104 703302 15134821 15133122 2025-06-14T22:23:11Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: BBPORT → REPORT 15134821 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="TarmstroBot" /></noinclude>920 FEDERAL REPORTER. fi.

Hearing on Exceptions to Intervenor's Claim. H. B. Kinghorn and R. D. Benedict, for libellant. Scudder d Carter and G. A . Black, for Hawkins, lienor. Brown, d. J. This hearing arises upon the report of the clerk, to whom it was referred on December 23, 1879, to take such testimony as might ie offered concerning the interest of John P. Hawkins in the Bchooner Two Marys, and his right to appear as claimant. The claim of Hawkins was filed September 22, 1879, and averred that he was in possession of the schooner at the time she was seized by the marshal on September 17th; that he had been repairing and recon- structing her; that his work was not completed, and the sum of $5,000 was due him. Libellant filed exceptive allegations to this claim, averring that Hawkins had no lien, was not in possession, had surrendered and abandoned her, that nothing was owing him, and that he had no interest in the vessel. At the time of seizure, Hawkins, and Crowley, the master, each claim to have been in possession. On the twenty-second of Septem- ber, Hawkins, as claimant, gave a bond for libellant's claim under the act of 1847, and the usual order for the release of the vessel was given on that day, and Hawkins received from the marshal a notice to the keeper for the discharge of the vessel.

I regard the bad conscience as the serious illness which man was bound to contract under the stress of the most radical change which he has ever experienced—that change, when he found himself finally imprisoned within the pale of society and of peace. Just like the plight of the water-animals, when they were compelled either to become land-animals or to perish, so was the plight of these half-animals, perfectly adapted as they were to the savage life of war, prowling, and adventure—suddenly all their instincts were rendered worthless and "switched off." Henceforward they had to walk on their feet—"carry themselves," whereas heretofore they had been carried by the water: a terrible heaviness oppressed them. They found themselves clumsy in obeying the simplest directions, confronted with this new and unknown world they had no longer their old guides—the regulative instincts that had led them unconsciously to safety—they were reduced, were those unhappy creatures, to thinking, inferring, calculating, putting together causes and results, reduced to that poorest and most erratic organ of theirs, their "consciousness." I do not believe there was ever in the world such a feeling of misery, such a leaden discomfort—further, those old instincts had not immediately ceased their demands! Only it was difficult and rarely possible to gratify them: speaking broadly, they were compelled to satisfy themselves by new and, as it were, [[wikt:hole-and-corner|hole-and-corner]] methods.

He is after all merely the presupposition of his work, the womb, the soil, in certain cases the dung and manure, on which and out of which it grows—and consequently, in most cases, something that must be forgotten if the work itself is to be enjoyed. The insight into the ''origin'' of a work is a matter for psychologists and vivisectors, but never either in the present or the future for the aesthetes, the artists. The author and creator of Parsifal was as little spared the necessity of sinking and living himself into the terrible depths and foundations of mediaeval soul-contrasts, the necessity of a malignant abstraction from all intellectual elevation, severity, and discipline, the necessity of a kind of mental ''perversity'' (if the reader will pardon me such a word), as little as a pregnant woman is spared the horrors and marvels of pregnancy, which, as I have said, must be forgotten if the child is to be enjoyed. We must guard ourselves against the confusion, into which an artist himself would fall only too easily (to employ the English terminology) out of psychological "contiguity"; as though the artist' himself actually ''were'' the object which he is able to represent, imagine, and express. In point of fact, the position is that even if he conceived he were such an object, he would certainly not represent, conceive, express it. [[w:Homer|Homer]] would not have created an [[w:Achilles|Achilles]], nor [[w:Goethe|Goethe]] a [[w:Goethe's Faust|Faust]], if Homer had been an Achilles or if Goethe had been a Faust.

It may be so—ask the physiologists—but he who thinks in ''words'', thinks as a speaker and not as a thinker (it shows that he does not think of objects or think objectively, but only of his relations with objects—that, in point of fact, he only thinks of himself and his audience). This third one speaks aggressively, he comes too near our body, his breath blows on us—we shut our mouth involuntarily, although he speaks to us through a book: the tone of his style supplies the reason—he has no time, he has small faith in himself, he finds expression now or never.

The dictates of fairness, however, require that we should all the more emphasise the fact that this remedy is applied with a ''good conscience'', that the ascetic priest has prescribed it in the most implicit belief in its utility and indispensability;—often enough almost collapsing in the presence of the pain which he created;—that we should similarly emphasise the fact that the violent physiological revenges of such excesses, even perhaps the mental disturbances, are not absolutely inconsistent with the general tenor of this kind of remedy; this remedy, which, as we have shown previously, is ''not'' for the purpose of healing diseases, but of fighting the unhappiness of that depression, the alleviation and deadening of which was its object. The object was consequently achieved. The keynote by which the ascetic priest was enabled to get every kind of agonising and ecstatic music to play on the fibres of the human soul—was, as every one knows, the exploitation of the feeling of ''"guilt."'' I have already indicated in the previous essay the origin of this feeling—as a piece of animal psychology and nothing else: we were thus confronted with the feeling of "guilt," in its crude state, as it were. It was first in the hands of the priest, real artist that he was in the feeling of guilt, that it took shape—oh, what a shape!

The special business of a proof-reader, attached to a printing house, is to correct these proofs before they are shown to the author; he is an intermediary between the compositor and the author, and as such his functions may vary according to his capacities. Proof-reading as a distinct department in the work of a printing office does not date from the very earliest days of “the art preservative of all arts.” The first products of the printing-press show abundant evidences of the non-existence of any one specially charged with the duty of correcting the compositors’ mistakes. How much conjectural emendation and consequent controversy would have been avoided if the First Folio Shakespeare had been more typographically correct! Sir Theodore Martin said that the typographical errors alone of that work had been computed to number nearly 20,000, which amounts to 2·25% of the total number of words in the volume. It was a usual practice in the 17th and 18th centuries for authors to send the proofs of their works round amongst their personal friends for correction; and in the universities and colleges sheets of works passing through the press were frequently hung up in the quadrangles for public inspection and correction. With the growth of printing gradually came a demand for systematic proof-reading, and the leading printers engaged scholars and men of letters to read proofs for them. Among these may be mentioned Cruden, of ''Concordance'' fame (“Alexander the Corrector”), and [[Author:William Julius Mickle|William Julius Mickle]], poet, and translator of Luiz de Camoens’s ''Lusiads'', who was a reader at the Clarendon Press. Goldsmith and Dr Johnson also are credited with having wielded the proof-reader’s pen. Times, however, have changed since, as the elder D’Israeli wrote, “it became the glory of the learned to be correctors of the press to eminent printers,” and to-day in every printing office the proof-reader is found—an unobtrusive functionary, known to publishers, authors, editors and journalists, but for the most part unknown to the general reading public; a functionary who yet does useful, often valuable, and always indispensable work. The influence of good proof-reading upon the character of book, newspaper and general printing is too often underrated. The celebrated old printing offices and the foremost of the modern ones owe their reputation for good workmanship largely to the excellence and thoroughness of the work done in their reading-rooms, for no perfection of paper, ink, machining or binding can atone for bad or slipshod typography. The nature of the proof-reader’s work, frequently monotonous and uninteresting, will be made clear by what follows. After the compositor (see {{EB1911 article link|Typography}}) has set up, by hand or type-setting machine, the “copy” supplied to him, a slip or page proof is pulled and sent with the manuscript to the proof-reader. The manuscript is then read aloud by a copy-holder, while the proof-reader carefully follows the text before him letter by letter, marking on the margin of the proof all the misspellings, turned letters, “wrong fonts” (letters differing in size or style of face from those in the immediate context) and other errors, and seeing that the punctuation clearly defines the author’s meaning. The copy-holder reads rapidly—indeed, an ordinary listener would imagine it to be impossible for the proof-reader to understand him—and as the reader is obliged to keep pace, he goes through the proof again, without the aid of the copy-holder, in order to mark any errors that may have escaped him in the first rapid reading. The proof, called the “first proof,” is then sent to the compositor to be corrected. When this has been done, a further proof is submitted to the reader, who, upon satisfying himself by careful revision that it is free from typographical mistakes, passes it as “clean.” If the reader, when dealing with the first proof, notices any slips in grammar or errors of fact on the part of the writer, or is in doubt whether any particular word in the manuscript has been correctly deciphered, he underlines the word or passage, and places “Qy.” (query) in the margin. The proof is then despatched to the author or editor. On the return of the proof, after the writer’s corrections and alterations have been carried out, the type is made up into pages and sheets and another proof pulled. This passes into the hands of the press reader (as distinguished from the “first proof-reader”), who checks the headlines, page numbers, and sequence of chapters or sections, and observes that the pages are of uniform length and that a sufficient amount of margin is allowed, before finally reading through the text. When the press-reader’s corrections have been effected, the work is ready for the printing machine or the stereotyping foundry. The cost of proof-reading may be said to range from about 7{{EB1911 tfrac|2}} to 20% of the cost of composition, varying, of course, with the nature of the work. {{Fine block|Many prominent authors have expressed in warm terms their gratitude to the proof-reader for valuable assistance rendered by apt queries and pertinent suggestions. Two of these expressions of opinion may be given as typical, one from a novelist and one from a poet. Charles Dickens said: “I know from some slight practical experience what the duties of correctors of the press are, and how these duties are usually discharged. And I can testify, and do testify here, that they are not mechanical—that they are not mere matters of manipulation and routine; but that they require from those who perform them much natural intelligence, much superadded cultivation, considerable readiness of reference, quickness of resource, an excellent memory and a clear understanding. And I must gratefully acknowledge that I have never gone through the sheets of any book I have written without having had presented to, me by the corrector of the press something I had overlooked—some slight inconsistency into which I had fallen—some little lapse I had made—in short, without having set down in black and white some unquestionable indication that I had been closely followed in my work by a patient and trained mind, and not merely by a skilful eye. In this declaration I have not the slightest doubt that the great body of my brother and sister writers would, as a plain act of justice, heartily concur.” Robert Browning thus corroborated Dickens: “I have had every opportunity of becoming acquainted. with, and gratefully acknowledging, the extreme service rendered. to me; and, if mine be no exceptional case, the qualifications of readers and correctors are important indeed.” P. Larousse spoke of French proof-readers as his “collaborateurs les plus chers,” and Hugo referred to them as those “modestes savants” so well able “lustrer les plumes du génie”; while the Académie Française consulted them on points arising in the revision of the Academy’s dictionary.}} Though much good work is done by readers who have not been practical printers, yet the technical knowledge gained by working as a compositor is essential to the best proof-reading. The reader must possess a quick eye, alert to note every error or mechanical imperfection in the type, and must scrutinize closely every letter of every word, clause and sentence, while keeping a grasp of the sense of the matter he is dealing with. The more varied his information and the wider his knowledge, the better. Though his strict duty is merely to see that the author’s copy is properly reproduced, he is always glad to give the author the benefit of the experience and knowledge he has acquired, and, as a consequence, he is constantly crossing the line which separates proof-reading from sub-editorial duties. From this last consideration has arisen the plea for the reader, on the daily press especially, being placed under the control of, and made responsible to, the editorial department rather than the head of the composing-room. {{Fine block|Proof-readers in Great Britain have a trade union, and many of them retain membership of the unions to which they belonged when working as compositors; and in some states of the American Union as well as in Scotland the compositors insist upon readers being also members of their society. The oldest English organization devoted entirely to the interests of proof-readers is the Association of Correctors of the Press, founded in 1854. The chief aim of the association is to give its members information as to vacant situations, so as to keep them in full employment; but it also assists members in distress from its benevolent fund, and provides pensions, as well as. a sum of money at death. There is in France the ''Société des correcteurs des imprimeries de Paris''. There are also proof-readers’ societies in several American cities, many of whose members are women, for in the United States women bulk largely in the rank of proof-readers. There are very few women proof-readers in London. In Edinburgh, however, women form a considerable proportion of the proof-readers. {{Fs|108%|{{EB1911 footer initials|John A. Black|J. A.

Great confusion has been occasioned, as we have seen incidentally, by the lax use of the term “association,” and this confusion has been increased by a further laxity in the use of the term “association by similarity.” In so far as the similarity amounts to identity, as in assimilation, we have a process which is more {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|width=8|Association by Similarity not Fundamental.}} fundamental than association by contiguity, but then it is not a process of association. And when the reviving presentation is only partially similar to the presentation revived, the nature of the association does not appear to differ from that operative when one “contiguous” presentation revives another. In the one case we have, say, ''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;x'' recalling ''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;y'', and in the other ''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;c'' recalling ''d&nbsp;e&nbsp;f''. Now anybody who will reflect must surely see that the similarity between ''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;x'' and ''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;y'', as distinct from the identity of their partial constituent ''a&nbsp;b'', cannot be the means of recall; for this similarity is nothing but the state of mind—to be studied presently—which results when ''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;x'' and ''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;y'', ''having been recalled'' are in consciousness together and then ''compared''. But if ''a&nbsp;b'', having concurred with ''y'' before and being now present in ''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;x'', again revives ''y'', the association, so far as that goes, is manifestly one of contiguity, albeit as soon as the revival is complete, the state of mind immediately incident may be what Bain loved to style “the flash of similarity.” So far as the mere revival itself goes, there is no more similarity in this case than there is when ''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;c'' revives ''d&nbsp;e&nbsp;f''. For the very ''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;c'' that now operates as the reviving presentation was obviously never in time contiguous with the ''d&nbsp;e&nbsp;f'' that is revived; if all traces of previous experiences of ''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;c'' were obliterated there would be no revival. In other words, the ''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;c'' now present must be “automatically associated,” or, as we prefer to say, must be assimilated to those residua of ''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;c'' which were “contiguous” with ''d&nbsp;e&nbsp;f'', before the representation of this can occur. And this, and nothing more than this, we have seen, is all the “similarity” that could be at work when ''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;x'' “brought up” ''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;y''. On the whole, then, we may assume that the only principle of association we have to examine is the so-called ''association'' by ''contiguity'', which, as ordinarily formulated, runs: Any presentations whatever, which are in consciousness together or in close succession, cohere in such a way that when one recurs it tends to revive the rest, such tendency {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|width=8|Contiguity Inexplicable.}} increasing with the frequency of the conjunction. It has been often contended that any investigation into the nature of association must be fruitless.<ref> So Hume, ''Treatise of Human Nature'', pt. i. § 4 (Green and Grose’s ed., p.&nbsp;321); also Lotze, ''Metaphysik'', 1st ed., p.&nbsp;526. </ref> But, if association is thus a first principle, it ought at least to admit of such a statement as shall remove the necessity for inquiry. So long, however, as we are asked to conceive presentations originally distinct and isolated becoming eventually linked together, we shall naturally feel the need of some explanation of the process, for neither the isolation nor the links are clear—not the isolation, for we can only conceive two presentations separated by other presentations intervening; nor the links, unless these are also presentations, and then the difficulty recurs. But, if for contiguity we substitute continuity and regard the associated presentations as parts of a new continuum, the only important inquiry is how this new whole was first of all integrated. To ascertain this point we must examine each of the two leading divisions of contiguous association—that of simultaneous presentations and that of presentations occurring in close succession. The last, being the clearer, may be taken first. In a series of associated presentations ''A&nbsp;B&nbsp;C&nbsp;D&nbsp;E'', such as the movements made in writing, the words {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|width=8|Formation of Memory-Continuum.}} of a poem learned by heart, or the simple letters of the alphabet themselves, we find that each member recalls its successor but not its predecessor. Familiar as this fact is, it is not perhaps easy to explain it satisfactorily. Since ''C'' is associated both with ''B'' and ''D'', and apparently as intimately with the one as with the other, why does it revive the later only and not the earlier? ''B'' recalls ''C''; why does not ''C'' recall ''B''? We have seen that any <!-- column 2 --> reproduction at all of ''B'', ''C'' or ''D'' depends primarily upon its having been the object of special attention, so as to occupy at least momentarily the focus of consciousness. Now we can in the first instance only surmise that the order in which they are reproduced is determined by the order in which they were thus attended to when first presented. The next question is whether the association of objects simultaneously presented can be resolved into an association of objects successively attended to. Whenever we try to recall a scene we saw but for a moment there are always a few traits that recur, the rest being blurred and vague, instead of the whole being revived in equal distinctness or indistinctness. On seeing the same scene a second time our attention is apt to be caught by something unnoticed before, as this has the advantage of novelty; and so on, till we have “lived ourselves into” the whole, which may then admit of simultaneous recall. Bain, who is rightly held to have given the best exposition of the laws of association, admits something very like this in saying that “coexistence is an artificial growth formed from a certain peculiar class of mental successions.” But, while it is easy to think of instances in which the associated objects were attended to successively, and we are all perfectly aware that the surest—not to say the only—way to fix the association of a number of objects is by thus concentrating attention on each in turn, it seems hardly possible to mention a case in which attention to the associated objects could not have been successive. In fact, an aggregate of objects on which attention could be focused at once would be already associated. {{EB1911 fine print/s}} The exclusively successional character of contiguous association has recently been denied, and its exclusively simultaneous character maintained instead. It is at once obvious that this opposition of succession and simultaneity cannot be pressed so as to exclude duration altogether and reduce the whole process to an instantaneous event. Nor is there any ground for saying that there is a fixed and even distribution of attention to whatever is simultaneously presented: facts all point the other way. Still, though we cannot exclude the notion of process from consciousness, we may say that presentations attended to together become ''pro tanto'' a new whole, are synthesized or complicated. Such primary synthesis leads not to an association of ideas, but rather to the formation of one percept, which may become eventually a free idea. The disconcerted preperception which sets this free may likewise liberate a similar or contrasting idea, but it will not resolve either complex into the several “ideas” of its sensory or motor constituents, with which only the psychologist is familiar. The actual recurrence of some of these constituents may again reinstate the rest, not, however, as memories or as “thoughts,” but only as tied ideas in a renewed perception. Again, it has become usual to distinguish the association of contiguous experiences and the so-called association of similars or opposites as respectively external and internal ''forms'' of association. The new terminology is illuminating: the substitution of ''forms'' for ''laws'' marks the abandonment of the old notion that association was by “adhesion” of the contiguous and “attraction” of the similar. We are thus left to find the cause of association in interested attention; and that, we may safely say, is an adequate, and apparently the sole adequate, cause for the two commonly recognized forms of external association, the so-called simultaneous and the successive. But these two are certainly not co-ordinate; and if our analysis be sound, the former—for which we would retain the Herbartian term complication—yields us not members of an association but a member for association. So far, then, we should have but one form of association, that of the successive contents of localized attention: and but one result, the representation or memory-continuum,<ref> Experience-continuum would perhaps be a better name, since it is only a preliminary to a true memory record, as we shall presently see. </ref> in contrast to the primary- or presentation-continuum, whence its constituents arise. Turning now to the distinction of external and internal, it at once strikes the unprejudiced mind that “internal association” is something of an anomaly, since the very notion of association implies externality. Also, on closer inspection what we find is not an association of similars or opposites as such, but—something quite distinct—a similarity or contrast of associates; of ideas, that is to say, which are contiguous members of the memory (or experience) continuum, or of ideas which have become contiguous through its reduplication. {{EB1911 fine print/e}} The only case, then, that now remains to be considered is that—to take it in its simplest form—of two primary presentations ''A'' and ''X'', parts of different special continua or distinct—''i.e.'' non-adjacent—parts of the same, and occupying the focus of consciousness in immediate succession.

There is further the difference first mentioned, which is often only a difference of degree, viz. that reminiscences have more circumstantiality, so to say, than mere recognitions have: more of the collateral constituents of the original concrete field of consciousness are reinstated. But of the two characteristics of memory proper—(''a'')&nbsp;concreteness or circumstantiality, and (''b'')&nbsp;localization in the past—the latter is the more essential. It sometimes happens that we have the one with little or nothing of the other. For example, we may have but a faint and meagre representation of a scene, yet if it falls into and retains a fixed place in the memory train we have no doubt that some such experience was once actually ours. On the other hand, as in certain so-called illusions of memory, we may suddenly find ourselves reminded by what is happening at the moment of a preceding experience exactly like it—some even feel that they know from what is thus recalled what will happen next; and yet, because we are wholly unable to assign such representation a place in the past, instead of a belief that it happened, there arises a most distressing sense of bewilderment, as if one were haunted and had lost one’s personal bearings.<ref> Any full discussion of ''paramnesia'', as these very interesting states of mind are called, belongs to mental pathology. </ref> It has been held by some psychologists<ref> As, ''e.g.'' James Mill (''Analysis of the Human Mind'', ch. x.), who treats this difficult subject with great acuteness and thoroughness. </ref> that memory proper includes the representation of one’s past self as agent or patient in the event or situation recalled. And this is true as regards all but the earliest human experience, at any rate; still, whereas it is easy to see that memory is essential to any development of self consciousness, the converse is not at all clear, and would involve us in a needless circle. 27. Intimately connected with memory is expectation. We may as the result of reasoning conclude that a certain event will happen; we may also, in like manner, conclude that a certain other event has happened. But as we should ''not'' call the latter memory, so it is desirable to distinguish such indirect anticipation as the former from that expectation {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|width=8|Expectation.}} which is directly due to the interaction of ideas. Any man knows that he will die, and may make a variety of arrangements in anticipation of death, but he cannot with propriety be said to be expecting it unless he has actually present to his mind a series of ideas ending in that of death, such series being due to previous associations, and unless, further, this series owes its representation at this moment to the actual recurrence of some experience to which that series succeeded before. And as familiarity with an object or event in very various settings may be a bar to recollection, so it may be to expectation: the average Englishman, ''e.g.'' is continually surprised without his umbrella, though only too familiar with rain, since in our climate one not specially attentive to the weather obtains no clear representation of its successive phases. But after a series of events ''A&nbsp;B&nbsp;C&nbsp;D&nbsp;E'' {{...}} has been once experienced we instinctively expect the recurrence of ''B&nbsp;C'' {{...}} on the recurrence of ''A'', ''i.e.'' provided the memory-train continues so far intact. Such expectation, at first perhaps slight—a mere tendency easily overborn—becomes strengthened by every repetition of the series in the old order, till eventually, if often fulfilled and never falsified, it becomes certain and, as we commonly say, irresistible. To have a clear case of expectation, then, it is not necessary that we should distinctly remember any previous experience like it, but only that we should have actually present some earlier member of a series which has been firmly associated by such previous experiences, the remaining members, or at least the next, if they continue serial, being revived through that which is once again realized. This expectation may be instantly checked by reflection, just as it may, of course, be disappointed in fact; but these are matters which do not concern the inquiry as to the nature of expectation while expectation lasts. We shall continue this inquiry to most advantage by widening it into an examination of the distinction of present, past and future. To a being whose presentations never passed through <!-- column 2 --> the transitions which ours undergo—first divested of the strength and vividness of impressions, again reinvested with them and brought back from the faint world of ideas—the {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|width=8|Present, Past, and Future.}} sharp contrasts of “now” and “then,” and all the manifold emotions they occasion, would be quite unknown. Even we, so far as we confine our activity and attention to ideas are almost without them. Time-order, succession, antecedence, and consequence, of course, there might be still, but in that sense of events as “past and gone for ever,” which is one of the melancholy factors in our life; and in the obligation to wait and work in hope or dread to what is “still to come” there is much more than time-order. It is to presentations in their primary stage, to impressions, that we owe what real difference we find between now and then, whether prospective or retrospective, as it is to them also that we directly owe our sense of the ''real'', of what is and exists as opposed to the non-existent that is not. But the present alone and life in a succession of presents, or, in other words, continuous occupation with impressions, give us no knowledge of the present as present. This we first obtain when our present consciousness consists partly of memories or partly of expectations as well. An event expected differs from a like event remembered chiefly in two ways—in its relation to present impressions and images and in the active attitude to which it leads. The diverse feelings that accompany our intuitions of time and contribute so largely to their colouring are mainly consequences of these differences. Let us take a series of simple and familiar events ''A&nbsp;B&nbsp;C&nbsp;D&nbsp;E'', representing ideas by small letters, and perceptions by capitals whenever it is necessary to distinguish them. Such series may be present in consciousness in such wise that ''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;c&nbsp;d'' are imaged while ''E'' is perceived anew, ''i.e.'' the whole symbolized as proposed would be ''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;c&nbsp;d&nbsp;E''; such would be, ''e.g.'' the state of a dog that had just finished his daily meal. Again, there may be a fresh impression of ''A'' which revives ''b&nbsp;c&nbsp;d&nbsp;e''; we should have then (1)&nbsp;''A&nbsp;b&nbsp;c&nbsp;d&nbsp;e''—the state of our dog when he next day gets sight of the dish in which his food is brought to him. A little later we may have (2)&nbsp;''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;C&nbsp;d&nbsp;e''. Here ''a b'' are either after-sensations or primary memory-images, or have at any rate the increased intensity due to recent impression; but this increased intensity will be rapidly on the wane even while ''C'' lasts, and ''a&nbsp;b'' will pale still further when ''C'' gives place to ''D'', and we have (3)&nbsp;''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;c&nbsp;D&nbsp;e''. But, returning to (2), we should find ''d&nbsp;e'' to be increasing in intensity and definiteness, as compared with their state in (1), now that ''C'', instead of ''A'', is the present impression. For, when ''A'' occupied this position, not only was ''e'' raised less prominently above the threshold of consciousness by reason of its greater distance from ''A'' in the memory-continuum, but, owing to the reduplications of this continuum, more lines of possible revival were opened up, to be successively negatived as ''B'' succeeded to ''A'' and ''C'' to ''B''; even dogs know that “there is many a slip ’twixt the cup and the lip.” But, where ''A&nbsp;B&nbsp;C&nbsp;D&nbsp;E'' is a series of percepts such as we have here supposed—and a series of simpler states would hardly afford much ground for the distinctions of past, present and future—there would be a varying amount of active adjustment of sense-organs and other movements supplementary to full sensation. In (2), the point at which we have ''a&nbsp;b&nbsp;C&nbsp;d&nbsp;e'', for instance, such adjustments and movements as were appropriate to ''b'' would cease as ''B'' lapsed and be replaced by those appropriate to ''C''. Again, as ''C'' succeeded to ''B'', and ''d'' in consequence increased in intensity and definiteness, the movements adapted to the reception of ''D'' would become nascent, and so on. Thus, psychologically regarded, the distinction of past and future and what we might call the oneness of direction of time depend, as just described, (1)&nbsp;upon the continuous sinking of the primary memory-images on the one side, and the continuous rising of the ordinary images on the other side, of that member of a series of percepts then repeating which is actual at the moment; and (2)&nbsp;on the prevenient adjustments of attention, to which such words as “expect,” “await,” “anticipate,” all testify by their etymology. These conditions in turn will be found to depend upon all that is implied in the formation of the memory-train and upon that recurrence of like series of impressions which we<noinclude> {{smallrefs}}</noinclude> p0y89dbu2a97dxhh4eb4onwxug6nq0n Page:EB1911 - Volume 22.djvu/593 104 1862851 15134148 15125184 2025-06-14T17:05:40Z DivermanAU 522506 curly apostrophe 15134148 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="DivermanAU" />{{rh|REMINISCENCE]|{{x-larger|PSYCHOLOGY}}|{{x-larger|577}}}}</noinclude>attribute to the “uniformity of nature.” If we never had the same series of impressions twice, knowledge of time would be impossible, as indeed would knowledge of any sort. 28. Time is often figuratively represented as a line, and we may perhaps utilize this figure to make clear the relation of our perception of time to what we call time itself. The present, though conceived as a point or instant of time, is still such that we actually can and do in that moment attend to a plurality of presentations to which we might otherwise {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|width=8|Succession.}} have attended to severally in successive moments. Granting this implication of simultaneity and succession, we may, if we represent succession as a line, represent simultaneity as a second line at right angles to the first; pure time—or time-length without time-breadth, we may say—is a mere abstraction. Now it is with the former line that we have to do in treating of time as it is (or as we conceive it), and with the latter in treating of our perception of time, where, just as in a perspective representation of distance, we are confined to lines in a plane at right angles to the actual line of depth. In a succession of events ''{{nowrap|A B C D E . . .}}'' the presence of ''B'' means the absence of ''A'' and of ''C'', but the presentation of this succession involves the simultaneous presence, in some mode or other, of two or more of the presentations ''A&nbsp;B&nbsp;C&nbsp;D''. In our temporal perception, then, all that corresponds to the differences of past, present and future is presented simultaneously. To this fact the name of “specious present” or “psychical present” has been given. What we have is not a moving point or moment of objective time, but rather a moving line, the contents of which, continuously changing, simultaneously represent a portion of the line of objective succession, viz. the immediate past as still present in primary memory-images, and the immediate future as anticipated in prepercepts and nascent acts.<ref> Cf. W. James, ''Principles of Psychology'', i. 629 sqq.; L. W. Stern, “Psychische Präsenzzeit,” ''Z. f. Psych.'', (1897), xiii. 325&nbsp;sqq. </ref> This truism—or paradox—that all we know of succession is but an interpretation of what is really simultaneous or coexistent, we may then concisely express by saying that we are aware of time only through time-perspective, and experience shows that it is a long step from a succession of presentations to such presentation of succession. The first condition of such presentation is that we should have represented together presentations that were in the first instance attended to successively, and this we have both in the persistence of primary memory-images and in the simultaneous reproduction of longer or shorter portions of the memory-train. In a series thus secured there may be time-marks, though no time, and by these marks the series will be distinguished from other simultaneous series. To ask which is first among a number of simultaneous presentations is unmeaning; one might be logically prior to another, but in time they are together and priority is excluded. Nevertheless after each distinct representation ''a'', ''b'', ''c'', ''d'' there probably follows, as we have supposed, some trace of that movement of attention of which we are aware in passing from one presentation to another. In our present reminiscences we have, it must be allowed, little direct proof of this interposition, though there is strong indirect evidence of it in the tendency of the flow to follow the order in which the presentations were first attended to. With the movements themselves we are familiar enough, though the residua of such movements are not ordinarily conspicuous. These residua, then, are our temporal signs, and, together with the representations connected by them, constitute the memory-continuum. But temporal signs alone will not furnish all the pictorial exactness of the time-perspective. They give us only a fixed series; but the working of obliviscence, by insuring a progressive variation in intensity and distinctness as we pass from one member of the series to the other, yields the effect which we call time-distance. By themselves such variations would leave us liable to confound more vivid representations in the distance with fainter ones nearer the present, but from this mistake the temporal signs save us; and, as a matter of fact, where the memory-train is imperfect such mistakes continually occur. On the other hand, where these variations are slight and imperceptible, though the memory-<!-- column 2 -->continuum preserves the order of events intact, we have still no such distinct appreciation of comparative distance in time as we have nearer the present where these perspective effects are considerable. 29. When in retrospect we note that a particular presentation ''X'' has had a place in the field of consciousness, while certain other presentations, ''{{nowrap|A B C D . . .}}'', have succeeded each other, then we may be said in observing this relation of the two to perceive the duration of ''X''. And it is in this way that we do subjectively estimate longer periods of time. {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|width=8|Duration.}} But first, it is evident that we cannot apply this method to indefinitely short periods without passing beyond the region of distinct presentation; and, since the ''knowledge'' of duration implies a relation between distinguishable presentations ''A&nbsp;B&nbsp;C&nbsp;D'' and ''X'', the case is one in which the hypothesis of subconsciousness can hardly help any but those who confound the fact of time with the knowledge of it. Secondly, if we are to compare different durations at all, it is not enough that one of them should last out a series ''A&nbsp;B&nbsp;C&nbsp;D'', and another a series ''L&nbsp;M&nbsp;N&nbsp;O''; we also want some sort of common measure of those series. Locke was awake to this point, though he expresses himself vaguely (''Essay'', ii. 14, §§&nbsp;9–12). He speaks of our ideas succeeding each other “at certain distances not much unlike the images in the inside of a lantern turned round by the heat of a candle,” and “guesses” that “this appearance of theirs in train varies not very much in a waking man.” Now what is this “distance” that separates ''A'' from ''B'', ''B'' from ''C'', and so on, and what means have we of knowing that it is tolerably constant in waking life? It is probably that the residuum of which we have called a temporal sign; or, in other words, it is the movement of attention from ''A'' to ''B''. But we must endeavour here to get a more exact notion of this movement. Everybody knows what it is to be distracted by a rapid succession of varied impressions, and equally what it is to be wearied by the slow and monotonous recurrence of the same impressions. Now these “feelings” of distraction and tedium owe their characteristic qualities to movements of attention. In the first, attention is kept incessantly on the move; before it is accommodated to ''A'', it is disturbed by the suddenness, intensity, or novelty of ''B''; in the second, it is kept all but stationary by the repeated presentation of the same impression. Such excess and defect of surprises make one realize a fact which in ordinary life is so obscure as to escape notice. But recent experiments have set this fact in a more striking light, and made clear what Locke had dimly before his mind in talking of a certain distance between the presentations of a waking man. In estimating very short periods of time, of a second or less—indicated say by the beats of a metronome—it is found that there is a certain period for which the mean of a number of estimates is correct, while shorter periods are on the whole over-estimated, and longer periods under-estimated. This we may perhaps take to be evidence of the time occupied in accommodating or fixing attention. Whether the “point of indifference” is determined by the rate of usual bodily movement, as Spencer asserts and Wundt conjectures, or conversely, is a question we need not discuss just now. But, though the fixation of attention does of course really occupy time, it is probably not in the first instance perceived as time, ''i.e.'' as continuous “protensity,” to use a term of Hamilton’s, but as intensity. Thus, if this supposition be true, there is an element in our concrete time-perception which has no place in our abstract conception of time. In time conceived as physical there is no trace of intensity; in time psychically experienced duration is primarily an intensive magnitude, witness the comparison of times when we are “bored” with others when we are amused. It must have struck every one as strange who has reflected upon it that a period of time which seems long in retrospect—such as an eventful excursion—should have appeared short in passing; while a period, on the contrary, which in memory has dwindled to a wretched span seemed everlasting till it was gone. But, if we consider that in retrospect length of time is represented primarily and chiefly by impressions that have survived, we have an explanation of one-half; and in the intensity of the movements of attention we shall perhaps find an explanation<noinclude> {{smallrefs}}</noinclude> plkvin7uja8xam6j6ham60hxwmepkix Page:EB1911 - Volume 22.djvu/598 104 1862858 15134166 15127205 2025-06-14T17:15:15Z DivermanAU 522506 movement→mouvement (French word); curly apostrophes 15134166 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Library Guy" />{{rh|{{x-larger|582}}|{{x-larger|PSYCHOLOGY}}|[FEELING}}</noinclude>feelings, which might be distinguished from all the preceding as ''reflex'', since they arise from the memory or expectation of feelings but in fact these are largely involved in all the higher feelings, and this brief reference to them will suffice: of such hope, fear, regret are examples. ''a''. The quality and intensity as well as the duration and frequency of a sensation or movement all have to do with determining to what feeling it gives rise. It will be best to leave the last two out of account for a time. Apart from these, the pleasantness or painfulness of a movement appears to depend solely upon its intensity, {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|width=8|Sensations and Movements.}} that is to say, upon the amount of effort necessary to effect it, in such wise that a certain amount of exertion is agreeable and any excess disagreeable. Some sensations also, such as those of light and sound, are agreeable if not too intense, their pleasantness increasing with their intensity up to a certain point, on nearing which the feeling rapidly changes and becomes disagreeable or even painful. Other sensations, as bitter tastes, ''e.g.'' are naturally unpleasant, however faint—though we must allow the possibility of an acquired liking for moderately bitter or pungent flavours. But in every case such sensations produce unmistakable manifestations of disgust, if at all intense. Sweet tastes, on the other hand, however intense, are pleasant to an unspoiled palate, though apt before long to become mawkish, like “sweetest honey, loathsome in his own deliciousness,” as confectioners’ apprentices are said soon to find. The painfulness of all painful sensations or movements increases with their intensity without any assignable maximum being reached. A comparison of examples of this kind, which it would be tedious to describe more fully and which are indeed too familiar to need much description, seems to show (1)&nbsp;that, so far as feeling is determined by the intensity of a presentation, there is pleasure so long as attention can be adapted or accommodated to the presentation, and pain so soon as the intensity is too great for this; and (2)&nbsp;that, so far as feeling is determined by the quality of a presentation, those that are pleasurable enlarge the field of consciousness and introduce or agreeably increase in intensity certain organic sensations, while those that are painful contract the field of consciousness and introduce or disagreeably increase in intensity certain organic sensations. There are certain other hedonic effects due to quality, the examination of which we must for the present defer. Meanwhile as to the first point it may be suggested, as at any rate a working hypothesis, that in itself any and every simple sensation or movement is pleasurable if there is attention forthcoming adequate to its intensity. In the earliest and simplest phases of life, in which the presentation-continuum is but little differentiated, it is reasonable to suppose that variation in the intensity of presentation preponderates over changes in the quality of presentation, and that to the same extent feeling is determined by the former and not by the latter. And, whereas this dependence on intensity is invariable, there is no ground for supposing the quality of any primary presentation, when not of excessive intensity, to be invariably disagreeable; the changes above-mentioned in the hedonic effects of bitter tastes, sweet tastes, or the like tend rather to prove the contrary. This brings us to the second point, and it requires some elucidation. We need here to call to mind the continuity of our presentations and especially the existence of a background of organic sensations or somatic consciousness, as it is variously termed. By the time that qualitatively distinct presentations have been differentiated from this common basis it becomes possible for any of these, without having the intensity requisite to affect feeling directly, to change it indirectly by means of the systemic sensations accompanying them, or, in other words, by their tone. The physiological concomitants of these changes of somatic tone are largely reflex movements or equivalents of movements, such as alterations in circulatory, respiratory and excretory processes. Such movements are psychologically movements no longer, and are rightly regarded as pertaining wholly to the sensory division of presentations. But originally it may have been otherwise. To us now, these organic reflexes seem but part and parcel of the special sensation whose tone they <!-- column 2 --> form, and which they accompany even when that sensation, so far as its mere intensity goes, might be deemed indifferent. But perhaps at first the special qualities that are now throughout unpleasant may have been always presented with an excessive intensity that would be painful on this score alone, and the reflexes that at present pertain to them may then have been psychologically the expression of this pain.<ref> In the lowly organisms that absorb food directly through the skin such bitter juices as exist naturally might at once produce very violent effects—comparable, say, to scalding; and the reflexes then established may have been continued by natural selection so as to save from poisoning the higher organisms, whose absorbent surfaces are internal and only guarded in this way by the organ of taste. Some light is thrown on questions of this kind by the very interesting experiments of Dr Romanes; for a general account of these see his ''Jelly-fish, Star-fish, and Sea-urchins'', ch. ix. </ref> At any rate it is manifestly unfair to refuse either to seek out the primitive effects of the sensations in question and allow for the workings of heredity, or to reckon this accompanying systemic feeling as part of them. The latter seems the readier and perhaps, too, the preferable course. A word will now suffice to explain what is meant by enlarging and contracting the field of consciousness and agreeably increasing or decreasing certain elements therein. The difference in point is manifest on comparing the flow of spirits, buoyancy and animation which result from a certain duration of pleasurable sensations with the lowness or depression of spirits, the gloom and heaviness of heart, apt to ensue from prolonged physical pain. Common language, in fact, leaves us no choice but to describe these contrasted states by figures which clearly imply that they differ in the range and variety of the presentations that make up consciousness, and in the quickness with which these succeed each other.<ref> This is one among many cases in which the study of a vocabulary is full of instruction to the psychologist. The reader who will be at the trouble to compare the parallel columns under the heading “Passive Affections,” in Roget’s ''Thesaurus of English Words and'' ''Phrases'', will find ample proof both of this general statement and of what is said above in the text. </ref> It is not merely that in hilarity as contrasted with dejection the train of ideas takes a wider sweep and shows greater liveliness, but as it were at the back of this, on the lower level of purely sensory experience, certain organic sensations which are ordinarily indifferent acquire a gentle intensity, which seems by flowing over to quicken and expand the ideational stream as we see, for instance, in the effects of mountain air and su<ins>n</ins>shine. Or, on the other hand, these sensations become so violently intense as to drain off and ingulf all available energy in one monotonous corroding care, an oppressive weight which leaves no place for free movement, no life or leisure to respond to what are wont to be pleasurable solicitations?<ref> Observation and experiment show that the physical signs of pain in the higher animals consist in such changes as a lowered and weaker pulse, reduction of the surface temperature, quickened respiration, dilatation of the iris, and the like. And so far as can be ascertained these effects are not altogether the emotional reaction to pain but in large measure its actual accompaniments, the physical side of what we have called its ''tone''. The following is a good description of these general characteristics of feeling: “En même temps, il se fait une série de mouvements généraux de flexion, comme si l’animal voulait se rendre plus petit, et offrir moins de surface à la douleur. Il est intéressant de remarquer que, pour l’homme comme pour tous les animaux, on retrouve ces mêmes mouvements généraux de flexion et d’extension répondant aux sentiments différents de plaisir et de la douleur. Le plaisir répond à un movement d’épanouissement, de dilatation, d’extension. Au contraire, dans la douleur, on se rapetisse, on se referme sur soi; c’est un mouvement général de flexion” (C.&nbsp;Richet, ''L’Homme et l’Intelligence: la douleur'', p.&nbsp;9). </ref> As regards the duration and the frequency of presentation, it is in general true that the hedonic effect soon attains its maximum, and then, if pleasant, rapidly declines, or even changes to its opposite. Pains in like manner decline, but more slowly and without in the same sense changing to pleasures. The like holds of too frequent repetition. Physiological explanation of these facts, good as far as it goes, is, of course, at once forthcoming: sensibility is blunted, time is required for restoration, and so forth; but at least we want the psychological equivalent of all this. In one respect we find nothing materially new; so<noinclude> {{smallrefs}}</noinclude> 8p5fstdtbfmpbp6d63tp73j1mh9zcdo Page:EB1911 - Volume 22.djvu/606 104 1862868 15134204 15128840 2025-06-14T17:33:04Z DivermanAU 522506 curly apostrophe 15134204 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="DivermanAU" />{{rh|{{x-larger|590 }}|{{x-larger|PSYCHOLOGY}}|[INTELLECTION}}</noinclude>way language when it already exists, is instrumental in the development as distinct from the communication of thought. But first of all, what in general is thinking, of which language is the instrument? {{EB1911 fine print/s}} In entering upon this inquiry we are really passing one of the hardest and fastest lines of the old psychology—that between sense and understanding. So long as it was the fashion to assume a multiplicity of faculties the need was less felt for a clear exposition of their connexion. A man had senses and intellect much as he had eyes and ears; {{EB1911 Shoulder HeadingFine|width=8|Distinction between Sense and Understanding.}} the heterogeneity in the one case was no more puzzling than in the other. But for psychologists who do not cut the knot in this fashion it is confessedly a hard matter to explain the relation of the two. The contrast of receptivity and activity hardly avails, for all presentation involves activity and essentially the same activity, that of attention. Nor can we well maintain that the presentations attended to differ in kind, albeit such a view has been held from Plato downwards. ''Nihil est in intellectu quod non fuerit'' ''prius in sensu'': the blind and deaf are necessarily without some concepts that we possess. If pure being is pure nothing, pure thought is equally empty. Thought consists of a certain elaboration of sensory and motor presentations and has no content apart from these. We cannot even say that the forms of this elaboration are psychologically a priori; on the contrary, what is epistemologically the most fundamental is the last to be psychologically realized. This is not only true as a fact; it is also true of necessity, in so far as the formation of more concrete concepts is an essential preliminary to the formation of others more abstract—those most abstract, like the Kantian categories, &c., being thus the last of all to be thought out or understood. And though this formative work is substantially voluntary, yet, if we enter upon it, the form at each step is determined by the so-called matter, and not by us; in this respect “the spontaneity of thought” is not really freer than the receptivity of sense.<ref> Locke, so often misrepresented, expressed this truth according to his lights in the following: “The earth will not appear painted with flowers nor the fields covered with verdure whenever we have a mind to it{{...|4}} Just thus is it with our understanding: all that is voluntary in our knowledge is the employing or withholding any of our faculties from this or that sort of objects and a more or less accurate survey of them” (''Essay'', iv. 13, 2). </ref> It is sometimes said that thought is synthetic, and this is true; but imagination is synthetic also; and the processes which yield the ideational train are the only processes at work in intellectual synthesis. Moreover, it would be arbitrary to say at what point the mere generic image ceases and the true concept begins—so continuous are the two. No wonder, therefore, that English psychology has been prone to regard thought as only a special kind of perception—perceiving the agreement or disagreement of ideas—and the ideas themselves as mainly the products of association. Yet this is much like confounding observation with experiment or invention—the act of a cave-man in betaking himself to a drifting tree with that of Noah in building himself an ark. In reverie, and even in understanding the communications of others, we are comparatively passive spectators of ideational movements, non-voluntarily determined. But in thinking or “intellection,” as it has been conveniently termed, there is always a search for something more or less vaguely conceived, for a clue which will be known when it occurs by seeming to satisfy certain conditions. Thinking may be broadly described as solving a problem—finding an AX that is B. In so doing we start from a comparatively fixed central idea or intuition and work along the several diverging lines of ideas associated with it—hence far the aptest and in fact the oldest description of thought is that it is ''discursive''. Emotional excitement—and at the outset the natural man does not think much in cold blood—quickens the flow of ideas: what seems relevant is at once contemplated more closely, while what seems irrelevant awakens little interest and receives little attention. At first the control acquired is but very imperfect; the actual course of thought of even a disciplined mind falls far short of the clearness, distinctness, and coherence of the logician’s ideal. Familiar associations are apt to hurry attention away from the proper topic, so that thought <!-- column 2 --> becomes not only discursive but wandering; in place of concepts of fixed and crystalline completeness, such as logic describes, we may find a congeries of ideas but imperfectly compacted into one generic idea, subject to continual transformation and implicating much that is irrelevant and confusing. {{EB1911 fine print/e}} Thus, while it is possible for thought to begin without language, just as arts may begin without tools, yet language enables us to carry the same process enormously farther. In the first place it gives us an increased command of even such comparatively concrete generic images as can be formed without it. The name of a thing or action {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|width=8|Thought and Language.}} becomes, for one who knows the name, as much an objective mark or attribute as any quality whatever can be. The form and colour of what we call an “orange” are perhaps even more intimately combined with the sound and utterance of this word than with the taste and <span style="border-bottom: 1px dashed red;" title="amended from 'fragance'">fragrance</span> which we regard as strictly essential to the thing. But, whereas its essential attributes often evade us, we can always command its nominal attribute, in so far as this depends upon movements of articulation. By uttering the name (or hearing it uttered) we have secured to us, in a greater or less degree, that superior vividness and definiteness that pertain to images reinstated by impressions: our idea approximates to the fixity and independence of a percept (cf. §&nbsp;21 above). With young children and uncultured minds—who, by the way, not uncommonly “think aloud”—the gain in this respect is probably more striking than those not confined to their mother-tongue or those used to an analytical handling of language at all realize.<ref> Ruskin, in his ''Fors clavigera'', relates that the sight of the word “crocodile” used to frighten him when a child so much that he could not feel at ease again till he had turned over the page on which it occurred. </ref> When things are thus made ours by receiving names from us and we can freely manipulate them in idea, it becomes easier mentally to bring together facts that logically belong together, and so to classify and generalize. For names set us free from the cumbersome tangibility and particularity of perception, which is confined to just what is presented here and now. But as ideas increase in generality they diminish in definiteness and unity; they not only become less pictorial and more schematic, but they become vague and unsteady as well, because formed from a number of concrete images only related as regards one or two constituents, and not assimilated as the several images of the same thing may be. The mental picture answering to the word “horse” has, so to say, body enough to remain a steady object when under attention from time to time; but that answering to the word “animal” is perhaps scarcely twice alike. The relations of things could thus never be readily recalled or steadily controlled if the names of those relations, which as words always remain concrete, did not give us a definite hold upon them—make them comprehensible. Once these “airy nothings” have a name, we reap again the advantages a concrete constituent affords: by its means that which is relevant becomes more closely associated, and that which is irrelevant—abstracted from—falls off. When what answers to the logical connotation or meaning of a concept is in this way linked with the name, it is no longer necessary that such “matter or content” should be distinctly present in consciousness. It takes time for an image to raise its associates above the threshold; and, when all are there, there is more demand upon attention in proportion. There is thus a manifest economy in what Leibnitz happily styled “symbolic,” in contrast to “intuitive” thinking. Our power of efficient attention is limited, and with words for counters we can, as Leibnitz remarks, readily perform operations involving very complex presentations, and wait till these operations are concluded before realizing and spreading out the net result in sterling coin. But this simile must not mislead us. In actual thinking there never is any complete separation between the symbol and the ideas symbolized: the movements of the one are never entirely suspended till those of the other are complete. “Thus,” says Hume, “if, instead of saying, that in war the weaker have always recourse {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|width=8|Thought and Ideation.}} <ref follow=p589> herd of individuals mankind would have a natural history as other animals have; but personality can only emerge out of intercourse with persons, and of such intercourse language is the means. But important as is this addition of a transparent and responsive world of minds to the dead opaqueness of external things, the development of our psychological individual still remains a purely individual development. The only new point is—and it is of the highest importance to keep it in sight—that the materials of this development no longer consist exclusively of presentations elaborated by a single mind in accordance with psychical laws. Nevertheless that combination of individual experiences which converts subjective idiosyncrasy and isolation into the objectivity and solidarity of Universal Mind only affects the individual in accordance with psychical laws, and we have no need therefore to overstep our proper domain in studying the advance from the non-rational phase to the phase of reason. </ref><noinclude> {{smallrefs}}</noinclude> 4d6bkmo6l1ouasc24k76hp9nqkp5zgo Page:EB1911 - Volume 22.djvu/611 104 1862890 15134206 15129178 2025-06-14T17:34:44Z DivermanAU 522506 curly apostrophes 15134206 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="DivermanAU" />{{rh|CATEGORIES]|{{x-larger|PSYCHOLOGY}}|{{x-larger| 595}}}}</noinclude>Suppose we start from the explosion—and changes or movements are not only apt to attract attention first, but, when recognized as events and not as abstracts personified, they call for some supplementing beyond themselves—then in this case we may search for the agent at work or for the object affected, but not for both at once. Moreover, if we find either, a complete judgment at once ensues: “The enemy explodes,” or “The mine is exploded.” The original judgment is really due to a synthesis of these two. But, when the results of former judgments are in this manner taken up into a new judgment, a certain “condensation of thought” ensues. Of this condensation the grammatical structure of language is evidence, though logical manipulation—with great pains—obliterates it. Thus our more complex judgment would take the form—“The enemy is now mine-exploding” or “The mine is enemy-exploded,” according as one or other of the simpler judgments was made first. An examination of other cases would in like manner tend to show that intellectual synthesis is always—in itself and apart from implications—a binary synthesis. Wundt, to whom belongs the merit of first explicitly stating this “law of dichotomy or duality”<ref> Wundt, ''Logik; eine Untersuchung der Principien der Erkenntniss'' (2nd ed., 1893), i. 59 sqq. </ref> as the cardinal principle of discursive thinking, contrasts it with synthesis by mere association. This, as running on continuously, he represents thus—A — B — C — D — . . . ; the synthesis of thought, on the other hand, he symbolizes by forms such as the {{nowrap|following:—}} {|{{Ts|mc|lh100}} cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" |colspan="2"| |colspan="3"|<span style="font-size:300%">︵</span> | |colspan="5"|<span style="font-size:300%">︵</span> |- |<span style="position: relative; bottom: .1em; font-size:150%">︵</span> | |<span style="position: relative; bottom: .1em; font-size:150%">︵</span> | |<span style="position: relative; bottom: .1em; font-size:150%">︵</span> | |<span style="position: relative; bottom: .1em; font-size:150%">︵</span> | |colspan="2"|<span style="position: relative; bottom: .1em; font-size:150%">︵</span> |-valign="top" |AB||;&nbsp;||AB||&ensp;||CD||;&nbsp;||AB||&nbsp;||C||<table style=line-height:100%><tr><td><span style="position: relative; bottom: .7em; font-size:150%">︵</span></td></tr><tr><td><span style="position: relative; bottom: 1.1em">DE</span></td></tr></table> |} Thus, Socrates is a philosopher; the philosopher Socrates discovered a method; the philosopher Socrates discovered the dialectical method; &c. The point is that the one thing attended to in an intellective act is the synthesis of two ideas, and of two ideas only, because, as only one movement of attention is possible at a time, only two ideas at a time can be synthesized. In that merely associative synthesis by which the memory-continuum is produced attention moves from A to B and thence to C without any relation between A and B being attended to at all, although they must have relations, that of sequence ''e.g.'' at least. “Difference,” says Hume, “I consider rather as a negation of relation than anything real or positive. Difference is of two kinds, as opposed either to identity or resemblance. The first is called a difference of ''number'', the other of ''kind''.” The truth seems rather to be that difference in Hume’s sense of numerical difference<ref> Hume’s numerical difference, that is to say, is really distinctness, not quantitative difference. </ref> is so far an element {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|width=8|Difference and Likeness.}} in all relations as all imply distinct correlatives. To this extent even identity—or at least the recognition of it—rests on difference, that form of difference, viz. which is essential to plurality. But absolute difference (''i.e.'' diversity) of kind may be considered tantamount not, indeed, to the negation, but at least to the absence of all formal relation. That this absolute difference—or disparateness, as we may call it—affords no ground for relations becomes evident when we consider (1)&nbsp;that, if we had only a plurality of absolutely different presentations, we should have no consciousness at all (cf. §&nbsp;11); and (2)&nbsp;that we never compare—although we distinguish—presentations which seem absolutely or totally disparate, as ''e.g.'' a thunderclap and the taste of sugar, or the notion of free trade and that of the Greek accusative. All actual comparison of what is qualitatively different rests upon at least partial likeness. This being understood, it is noteworthy that the recognition of unlikeness is, if anything, more “real or positive” than that of likeness, and is certainly the simpler of the two. In the comparison of sensible impressions—as of two colours, two sounds, the lengths or the directions of two lines, &c.—we find it easier in some cases to have the two impressions that are compared presented together, in others to have first one presented and then the other. But, either way, the essential matter is to secure the most effective presentation of their difference, which in every case is something <!-- column 2 --> positive and, like any other impression, may vary in amount from bare perceptibility to the extremest distance that the continuum to which it belongs will admit. Where no difference or distance at all is perceptible there we say there is likeness or equality. Is the only outcome, then, that when we pass from ''ab'' to ''ac'' there is a change in consciousness, and that when ab persists there is none? To say this is to take no account of the operations (we may symbolize them as ''ac''→''ab:c'', ''ab''→''ab:o'') by which the difference or the equality results. The change of presentation (''c'') and absence of change (''o'') are not here what they are as merely passive occurrences, so to put it. This is evident from the fact that in the former there is positive presentation and in the latter no presentation at all. The relation of unlikeness, then, is distinguished from the mere “position” or fact of change by (1) the voluntary concentration of attention upon ''ab'' and ''ac'' with a view to the detection of this change as ''their'' difference, and by (2) the act, relating them through it, in that they are judged unlike to that extent. The type of comparison is such superposition of geometrical lines or figures (as, ''e.g.'' in Euclid&nbsp;I. iv.): if they coincide we have concrete equality; if they do not their difference is a line or figure. All sensible comparisons conform essentially to this type. In comparing two shades we place them side by side, and passing from one to the other seek to determine not the absolute shade of the second but its shade relative to the first—in other words, we look out for contrast. We do not say of one “It is dark,” for in the scale of shades it may be light, but “It is darker”; or vice versa. Where there is no distance or contrast we simply have not ''two'' impressions, and, as said—if we consider the difference by itself—no impression at all. Two coincident triangles must be perceived as one. The distinction between the one triangle thus formed by two coinciding and the single triangle rests upon something extraneous to this bare presentation of a triangle that is one and the same in both cases. The marks of this numerical distinctness may be various: they may be different temporal signs, as in reduplications of the memory-continuum; or they may be constituents peculiar to each, from which attention is for the moment abstracted, any one of which suffices to give the common or identical constituent a new setting. In general, it may be said (1)&nbsp;that the numerical distinctness of the related terms is secured in the absence of all qualitative difference solely by the intellectual act which has so unified each as to retain what may serve as an individual mark; and (2)&nbsp;that they become related as “like” either in virtue of the active adjustment to a change of impression which their partial assimilation defeats, or in virtue of an anticipated continuance of the impression which this assimilation confirms. It is in keeping with this analysis that we say in common speech that two things in any respect similar are so far the same. This ambiguity in the word “same,” whereby it means either individual identity or indistinguishable resemblance has been often noticed, and from a logical or objective point of view justly complained of as “engendering {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|width=8|Identity.}} fallacies in otherwise enlightened understandings.” But apparently no one has inquired into its psychological basis, although more than one writer has admitted that the ambiguity is one “in itself not always to be avoided.”<ref> Cf. J. S. Mill, ''Logic'', bk. i. ch. iii. § 11, and ''Examination of'' ''Hamilton'', 3rd&nbsp;ed., ch.&nbsp;xiv. p.&nbsp;306, note; also Meinong, “Hume-Studien”&nbsp;II., ''Wiener Sitzungsberichte'' (''Phil. Hist. Cl.''). ci.&nbsp;709. </ref> It is not enough to trace the confusion to the existence of common names and to cite the forgotten controversies of scholastic realism. We are not now concerned with the conformity of thought to things or with logical analysis, but with the analysis of a psychological process. The tendency to treat presentations as if they were copies of things—the objective bias, as we may call it—is the one grand obstacle to psychological observation. Some only realize with an effort that the idea of extension is not extended; no wonder, then, if it should seem “unnatural” to maintain that the idea of two like things does not consist of two like ideas. But, assuming that both meanings of identity have a psychological justification, it will be well to distinguish<noinclude> {{smallrefs}}</noinclude> eouwii7qv3hggm6zurscrbcejh5d1gm Page:EB1911 - Volume 22.djvu/612 104 1862891 15134210 15129183 2025-06-14T17:38:41Z DivermanAU 522506 remove stray apostrophe 15134210 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="DivermanAU" />{{rh|{{x-larger|596 }}|{{x-larger|PSYCHOLOGY}}|[CATEGORIES}}</noinclude>them and to examine their connexion. Perhaps we might term the one “material identity” and the other “individual identity”—following the analogy of expressions such as “different things but all made of the same stuff,” “the same person but entirely changed.” Thus there is unity and plurality concerned in both, and herein identity or sameness differs from singularity or mere oneness, which so far entails no relation. But the unity and the plurality are different in each, and each is in some sort the converse of the other. In the one, two different individuals partially coincide; in the other, one individual is partially different; the unity in the one case is an individual presentation, in the other is the presentation of an individual. In material identity the unity is that of a single presentation, whether simple or complex, which enters as a common constituent into two or more others. It may be possible, of course, to individualize it, but as it emerges in a comparison it is a single presentation and nothing more. On account of this absence of individual marks this {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|width=8|Material Identity.}} single presentation is what logicians call “abstract”; but this is not psychologically essential. It may be a generic image which has resulted from the neutralization of individual marks, but it may equally well be a simple presentation, like red, to which such marks never belonged. We come here from a new side upon a truth which has been already expounded at length, viz. that presentations are not given to us as individuals but as changes in a continuum. Time and space—the instruments, as it were, of individualization, which are presupposed in the objective sciences—are psychologically later than this mere differentiation. The many vexed questions that arise concerning individual identity are metaphysical rather than psychological. But it will serve to bring out the difference between the two forms of identity to note that an identification cannot be established solely by qualitative comparison; an ''alibi'' or a breach of temporal continuity will turn the {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|width=8|Individual Identity.}} flank of the strongest argument from resemblance. Moreover, resemblance itself may be fatal to identification when the law of being is change. {{clear}} 41. As regards the real categories, it may be said generally that these owe their origin in large measure to the anthropomorphic or mythical tendency of human thought—<span title="tò hómoion tō̃ͅ homoíōͅ ginṓskesthai">{{Greek|τὸ ὅμοιον τῷ ὁμοίῳ γινώσκεσθαι}}</span>. Into the formation of these conceptions two very distinct factors enter—(1)&nbsp;the facts of what in the stricter sense we call {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|width=8|Real Categories.}} “self-consciousness,” and (2)&nbsp;certain spatial and temporal relations among our presentations themselves. On the one hand, it has to be noted that these spatial and temporal relations are but the occasion or motive—and ultimately perhaps, we may say, the warrant—for the analogical attribution to things of selfness, efficiency and design, but are not directly the source of the forms of thought that thus arise. On the other hand, it is to be noted also that such forms, although they have an independent source, would never apart from suitable material come into actual existence. If the followers of Hume err in their exclusive reliance upon “associations naturally and even necessarily generated by the order of our sensations” (J.&nbsp;S. Mill), the disciple of Kant errs also who relies exclusively on “the synthetic unity of apperception.” The truth is that we are on the verge of error in thus sharply distinguishing the two at all; if we do so momentarily for the purpose of exposition it behoves us here again to remember that mind grows and is not made. The use of terms like “innate,” “a priori,” “necessary,” “formal,” &c., without further qualification leads only too easily to the mistaken notion that all the mental facts so named are alike underived and original, independent not only of experience but of each other; whereas but for the forms of intuition the forms of thought would be impossible—that is to say, we should never have a self-consciousness at all if we had not previously learnt to distinguish occupied and unoccupied space, past and present in time, and the like. But, again, it is equally true that, if we could not feel and move as well as receive impressions, and if experience did not repeat <!-- column 2 --> itself, we should never attain even to this level of spatial and temporal intuition. Kant shows a very lame and halting recognition of this dependence of the higher forms on the lower both in his schematism of the categories, and again in correcting in his Analytic the opposition of sense and understanding as respectively receptive and active with which he set out in his Aesthetic. Still, although what are called the subjective and objective factors of real knowledge advance together, the former is in a sense always a step ahead. We find ''again'' without us the permanence, individuality, efficiency, and adaptation we have found ''first of all'' within (cf. §&nbsp;20, ''b'' and ''d''). But such primitive imputation of personality, though it facilitates a first understanding, soon proves itself faulty and begets the contradictions which have been one chief motive to philosophy. We smile at the savage who thinks a magnet must need food or the child who is puzzled that the horses in a picture remain for ever still; but few consider that underlying all common-sense thinking there lurks the same natural precipitancy. We attribute to extended things a unity which we know only as the unity of an unextended subject; we attribute to changes among these extended things what we know only when we act and suffer ourselves; and we attribute further to them in their changes a striving for ends which we know only because we feel. In asking what they are, how they act, and why they are thus and thus, we assimilate them to ourselves, in spite of the differences which lead us by-and-by to see a gulf between mind and matter. Such instinctive analogies have, like other analogies, to be confirmed, refuted, or modified by further knowledge, ''i.e.'' by the very insight into things which these analogies have themselves made possible. That in their first form they were mythical, and that they could never have been at all unless originated in this way, are considerations that make no difference to their validity—assuming, that is, that they admit, now or hereafter, of a logical transformation which renders them objectively valid. This legitimation is, of course, the business of philosophy; we are concerned only with the psychological analysis and origin of the conceptions themselves. {{EB1911 fine print/s}} 42. As it must here suffice to examine one of these categories; let us take that which is the most important and central of the three, viz. causality or the relation of cause and effect, as that will necessarily throw some light upon the constitution of the others. To begin, we must distinguish three things, which, though very different, are very liable to be confused. (1)&nbsp;Perceiving {{EB1911 Shoulder HeadingFine|width=8|Causality.}} in a definite case, ''e.g.'' that on the sun shining a stone becomes warm, we may say the sun makes the stone warm. This is a concrete instance of predicating the causal relation. In this there is, explicitly at all events, no statement of a general law or axiom, such as we have when we say (2)&nbsp;“Every event must have a cause”—a statement commonly known as the principle of causality. This again is distinct from what is on all hands allowed to be an empirical generalization, viz. (3)&nbsp;that such and such particular causes have invariably such and such particular effects. With these last psychology is not directly concerned at all: it has only to analyse and trace to its origin the bare conception of causation as expressed in (1) and involved in both these generalizations. Whether only some events have causes, as the notion of chance implies, whether all causes are uniform in their action or some capricious and arbitrary, as the unreflecting suppose—all this is beside the question for us. One point in the analysis of the causal relation Hume may be said to have settled once for all: it does not rest upon or contain any immediate intuition of a causal nexus. The two relations that Hume allowed to be perceived (or “presumed to exist”), viz. contiguity in space of the objects causally related and priority in time of the cause before the effect, are the only relations directly discernible. We say indeed “The sun warms the stone” as readily as we say “The sun rises and sets,” as if both were matters of direct observation then and there. But that this is not so is evident from the fact that only in some cases when one change follows upon another do we regard it as following from the other: casual coincidence is at least as common as causal connexion. Whence the difference, then, if not from perception? Hume’s answer,<ref> ''Treatise of Human Nature'', pt. iii. § xiv., “of the idea of necessary connexion.” </ref> repeated in the main by English psychologists since, is, as all the world knows, that the difference is the result of association, that when a change {{Greek|α}} in an object A has been frequently observed to precede a change {{Greek|β}} in another object B, this repetition ''determines'' the mind to a transition from the one to the other.

As motives conflict and the evils of hasty action recur to mind, deliberation succeeds to mere invention and design. In moments of leisure, the more imperious cravings being stilled, besides the rehearsal of failures or successes in the past, come longer and longer flights of imagination into the future. Both furnish material for intellectual rumination, and so we have at length (1)&nbsp;concepts of general and distant ends, as wealth, power, knowledge, and—self-consciousness having arisen—that concept also of the happiness or perfection of self, and (2)&nbsp;maxims or practical generalizations as to the best means to these ends. Instead of actions determined by the ''vis a tergo'' of blind passion we have conduct shaped by what is literally prudence or foresight, the pursuit of ends that are not esteemed desirable till they are judged to be good. The good, it is truly urged, is not to be identified with the pleasant, for the one implies a standard and a judgment, and the other nothing but a bare fact of feeling; thus the good is often not pleasant and the pleasant not good; in talking of the good, in short, we are passing out of the region of nature into that of character. It is so, and yet this progress is itself so far natural as to admit of psychological explication. As already urged (§&nbsp;34), the causes of feeling change as the constituents of consciousness change; also they depend more upon the form of that consciousness as this increases in complexity. When we can deliberately range to and fro in time and circumstances, the good that is not directly pleasant may indeed be preferred to what is only pleasant while attention is confined to the seen and sensible; but then the choice of such good is itself pleasant—pleasanter than its rejection would have been. {{EB1911 fine print/s}} The mention of deliberation brings us to the perennial problem of “the freedom of the will.” But to talk of will is to lapse into the confusions of the old faculty—psychology. As Locke long ago urged: “The question is not proper, ''whether the will be free'', but ''whether a man be free''.”<ref> ''Essay concerning Human Understanding'', II. xxi. §§ 16 sqq. </ref> In the absence of external constraint, when a man does what ''he'' likes, we say {{EB1911 Shoulder HeadingFine|Freedom.}} he is “externally free”; but he may still be the slave of every momentary impulse, and then it is said that he is not “internally” free. The existence and nature of this internal freedom is the problem. But if such freedom is held to imply a certain sovereignty or autonomy of self over against momentary propensions and blind desires, there can obviously be no question of its existence till the level of self-consciousness is reached and maxims or principles of action are possible. The young child, the brute and the imbecile, even when they do as they like, have not this freedom, though they may be said to act spontaneously. A resolutely virtuous man will have more of this freedom than the man of good moral disposition who often succumbs to temptation; but it is equally true that the hardened sinner has more of it than one still deterred in his evil ways by scruples of conscience. A man is internally free, then, whenever the ends he pursues have his whole-hearted approval, whether he say with Milton’s Satan, “Evil be thou my good,” or with Jesus, “Thy will be done.” But this freedom is always within our experience a relative freedom; hence at a later time we often declare that in some past act of choice we were not our true selves, not really free. But what is this true self more than our ideal? Or perhaps we prefer to say that we were free and could have acted otherwise; and no doubt we might, if the place of the purely formal and abstract concept of self had been occupied by some other phase of that empirical self which is continuously but at no one moment completely, presented. It must then be admitted that psychological analysis in this case is not only actually imperfect, but must always remain so—so long, at any rate, as all that we discern by reflection is less than all we are. But this admission does not commit us to allowing the possible existence of a ''liberum arbitrium indiferentiae'', sometimes called “absolute indeterminism”; for that would seem to differ in no respect from absolute chance or caprice. On the other hand, the rigidly determinist position can only be psychologically justified by ignoring the activity of the experiencing subject altogether. At bottom it treats the analysis of conduct as if it were a dynamical problem pure and simple. But motives are never merely so many quantitative forces playing upon something inert, or interacting entirely by themselves. At the level of self-consciousness especi<!-- column 2 -->ally motives are reasons and reason is itself a motive. In the blind struggle of so-called “self-regarding” impulses might is the only right; but in the light of principles or practical maxims right is the only might.<ref> The right is only relative, of course, when the maxims are “hypothetical”—to use Kant’s phrase,—but it is absolute when the maxim is “categorical.” </ref> This superiority in position of principles is only explicable by reference to the inhibitory power of attention, which alone makes deliberation possible and is essentially voluntary; that is, subjectively determined. But no, it may be objected, deliberation in such cases is just the result of painful experiences of the evil of hasty action, and only ensues when this motive is strong enough to restrain the impulse that would otherwise prevail. Even if this be granted, it does not prove that the subject’s action is determined for and not by him; it merely states the obvious fact that prudence and self-control are gradually acquired. Authoritative principles of action, such as self-love and conscience, are no more psychologically on a par with appetites and desires than thought and reason are on a par with the association of ideas. {{EB1911 fine print/e}} {{center|''Relation of Body and Mind''.}} 47. The question of subjective initiative leads us naturally to that concerning the connexion of mind and organism, to which we now proceed. In development and efficiency, in the intensity and complexity of their processes, mind and brain keep invariably and exactly in line together. Striking and impressive instances of this correspondence are to be {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading&nbsp;|Parallelism.}} found in comparative psychology, and especially in mental pathology; but it is needless here to enlarge on a point which in the main is beyond dispute. In this correspondence lay the plausibility of the old materialism. But a closer scrutiny discloses an equally impressive disparity: we reject materialism, accordingly, while still maintaining this ''psychoneural parallelism'' to be a well-established fact. From this we must distinguish a second sense of parallelism founded on the disparity just mentioned as pertaining to the psychical and neural correlates. We may call this ''physiologico-psychological'', or, more briefly, ''methodological'', ''parallelism''. It disclaims as illogical the attempt to penetrate to psychical facts from the standpoint of physiology, so persistently and confidently pursued by the old materialists. It also forbids the psychologist to piece out his own shortcomings with tags borrowed from the physiologist. The concepts of the two sciences are to be kept distinct, as the facts themselves to which they relate are distinct. Confusion is inevitable if the psychologist, for example, talks of his volition as the cause of his arm moving, when by arm movement he means the process described by the physiologist in terms of efferent excitations, muscular flexions, and so forth; or if the physiologist speaks of a sensation of red as produced by retinal stimulation due to light-waves of a certain length, when by sensation he means what he immediately experiences on looking at a field poppy. This methodological convention, as we may call it, implies a more stringent interpretation of causation than that expounded by J.&nbsp;S. Mill and his contemporaries. It does not, however, forbid psychological inferences on the basis of physiological facts, nor vice versa. But in spite of this distinctness of the facts, and of the standpoints from which they are respectively studied, their causal relation cannot be simply ignored: it is, however, a problem that pertains strictly to the higher standpoint of philosophy. There have been in all four different theories of this relation within modern times: (1)&nbsp;that of mutual interaction—the common-sense view—very inconsistently maintained by Descartes; (2)&nbsp;the “occasionalism” substituted for this by Geulincx and the later Cartesians; (3)&nbsp;the pre-established harmony of Leibnitz; and (4)&nbsp;the monism of Spinoza, which reduced matter and mind to parallel attributes of the One Substance. The last of these—severed, however, from Spinoza’s metaphysics—is still perhaps the prevailing theory, and to it the term ''psychophysical'' ''parallelism'' most properly applies. For whereas the parallelism first mentioned states a real correspondence between psychical processes and neural processes, but leaves open the question of a possible interaction between matter and mind, modern psychophysical parallelism is a pure hypothesis concerning the relation of psychical facts to physical theories, on the ground of which—as we shall presently see—any interaction between matter and mind is expressly denied. {{nop}}<noinclude> {{smallrefs}}</noinclude> 0a9yyejztwm0hq0gis0mume9pwpfjvl Page:EB1911 - Volume 22.djvu/626 104 1862908 15133905 14207872 2025-06-14T12:47:17Z DivermanAU 522506 /* Validated */ stern→stem 15133905 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="DivermanAU" />{{EB1911 Page Heading|610|PTERIDOPHYTA||  }}</noinclude>The several orders of Lycopodiales described above, while presenting a number of features in common, are distinctly isolated from one another. A natural classification of such specialized plants can only be obtained when the extinct forms are more fully known. What is known at present, while it does not indicate the phylogeny of the Lycopodiales, at least shows that such living orders as Lycopodiaceae and Selaginellaceae cannot be regarded as forming a linear series. The difficulty is increased when it is borne in mind that the small surviving forms probably have a long geological history, and may have coexisted with the Lepidodendraceae. For these reasons no attempt has been made to arrange the orders in larger divisions, since such a division as that of the ligulate and eligulate forms, while convenient for practical purposes, may not express the phylogeny of the group. The Psilotaceae, formerly included in the Lycopodiales, have been described separately owing to their resemblance to the Sphenophyllales. It remains to be mentioned that the Isoëtaceae have been regarded as more nearly allied to the Filicales than to the former, near which they are here placed. V. {{sc|Ophioglossales.}}—The peculiarities of this small order of Pteridophyta render their systematic position a matter of doubt, especially in the absence of evidence as to their geological history, and justify their separation for the present from the other main natural groups. In the three genera, ''Ophioglossum'', ''Botrychium'' and ''Helminthostachys'', there is an underground rhizome, from which one leaf or a few leaves with sheathing bases are produced annually; the roots arise in more or less definite relation to the insertion of the leaves. The latter are simple, or irregularly lobed in ''Ophioglossum'', more or less compoundly pinnate in ''Botrychium'' and palmately pinnate in ''Helminthostachys''. The fertile branch or branches are situated on the adaxial surface of the leaves, and may be simple, as in ''Ophioglossum'' (fig.&nbsp;2,&nbsp;''d''), or more or less compound, the degree of branching in the sterile and fertile segments exhibiting a general parallelism. The stem is monostelic, the arrangement of the xylem and phloem being collateral. The endodermis and pericycle surround the whole stele in ''Botrychium'' and ''Helminthostachys''; in ''Ophioglossum'' each bundle has a separate sheath. Well-marked secondary thickening occurs in ''Botrychium''. In the roots of ''Ophioglossum'' and ''Botrychium'' and in the first formed roots of ''Helminthostachys'' an endophytic fungus is present, forming a mycorhiza—the stele in the larger roots has the usual radial arrangement of xylem and phloem; monarch roots occur in ''Ophioglossum''. The morphology of the fertile spike is a disputed question, upon the answer to which the systematic position of the Ophioglossaceae largely rests. The spike is most simple in ''Ophioglossum'', where it bears on each side a row of large sporangia, which hardly project from the surface, the vascular bundles occupying a central position. In the young spike, which arises when the leaf is still very small, a band of tissue derived from superficial cells is distinguishable along either side; this sporangiogenic band gives rise to the sporogenous groups, the sterile septa between them, and the outer walls of the sporangia. The spike of ''Helminthostachys'' corresponds to that of ''Ophioglossum'', but in it the sporangia are borne on two lateral rows of branched sporangiophores. The sporangia themselves resemble those of ''Botrychium'', which project from the ultimate subdivisions of the branched spike; each is developed from a number of cells, the sporogenous tissue arising from a single cell. Two diverse views of the morphology of the fertile spike in these plants have been entertained. The older view was that it was a fertile segment of the leaf; and though its ventral position presents a difficulty, this must be regarded as a possible explanation; the occasional occurrence of sporangia on the lamina in ''Botrychium'' has been regarded as supporting it. On the other hand, the spike has been explained as due to the elaboration of a single sporangium occupying a similar position with regard to the leaf as in the Lycopodiales, and evidence of considerable weight has been brought forward in support of this interpretation. The important bearing of this question on the relationship of the <!-- column 2 --> Ophioglossaceae to the phyla of the Filicales and Lycopodiales will be obvious. {{EB1911 fine print/s}} The position of the fertile spike in relation to the leaf corresponds to that of the synangium or sporangiophores in the Psilotales and Sphenophyllales. The Ophioglossaceae are homosporous, and the prothalli, which are known in species of all three genera, are subterranean and saprophytic (fig.&nbsp;1, ''f'', ''g''). The prothallus of ''O.&nbsp;pedunculosum'', as observed by Mettenius, subsequently reached the surface and produced green lobes; those of the other species known are wholly saprophytic, and contain an endophytic fungus. Those of ''Ophioglossum'' are cylindrical, while the dorsiventral prothallus of ''Botrychium'' bears the sexual organs on the upper surface. They present a general, but probably homoplastic, resemblance to the saprophytic prothalli of certain ''Lycopodia''. Important points of difference exist, however, in the apical position of the meristem of the Ophioglossaceous prothalli, in the presence of a basal cell to the archegonium, and in the multiciliate spermatozoids. In these respects, in the megaphyllous habit and in certain anatomical features, the Ophioglossaceae approach the Filicales. Some species of ''Botrychium'' have recently been found to have embryos provided with a suspensor. The position of the Ophioglossaceae can at present only be regarded as an open question, in considering which the possible antiquity of the group must be borne in mind. {|{{Ts|flr|pl1|lh110}} |[[Image:EB1911 Pteridophyta - Scolopendrium vulgare.jpg|150px]] |- |{{Ts|width:150px|sm|ac}}|(From Strasburger’s ''Lehrbuch der Botanik''.) |- |{{sc|Fig.}} 6.—''Scolopendrium<br> vulgare''. |} {{EB1911 fine print/e}} VI. {{sc|Filicales.}}—This group of Pteridophyta differs from the others in being well represented in our present flora by forms, many of which can be regarded not as archaic types which have persisted to the present day, but as having been evolved in comparatively recent periods. The Ferns exhibit a wide range in size from the minute epiphytic Hymenophyllaceae, with leaves barely a centimetre in length, to gigantic tree-ferns 80&nbsp;ft. or more in height. A general characteristic of their habit is the large size of the leaves, which are often highly compound, relatively to the stem. Some ferns have a longer or shorter erect stem often clothed by the persistent bases of the leaves; in others the stem creeps on the surface of the substratum or is subterranean. Its surface is clothed with filamentous or scaly hairs (paleae), which protect the growing point; and adventitious roots spring from it. The position of the branches varies in the group; they are only exceptionally axillary (Hymenophyllaceae, Botryopterideae). The anatomy of the stele in the stem exhibits on the whole a progression from a solid protostele through a tubular solenostele to one or more circles of separate steles derived by the breaking up of the solenostele. The leaf-traces usually interrupt the continuity of the stele of the axis on their departure. The sporangia are borne in groups (sori) on the under surface of the leaves; sometimes the fertile leaves differ more or less from the purely vegetative ones. The form of the sorus and the structure of the sporangium are of great systematic importance. The sorus is frequently protected by an outgrowth from the surface or margin of the leaf called the indusium. Heterospory is only known in the Hydropterideae. The prothallus developed from the spore is green and in most cases dorsiventral, bearing the archegonia and antheridia on the under surface. Some of the more striking adaptive modifications in the gametophyte and sporophyte, and certain effects of altered external conditions which have been ascertained experimentally, may be briefly mentioned. The dorsiventrality of the prothallus has been shown to depend mainly on the illumination, the filamentous form being retained in feeble light; a similar result is obtained when the prothalli are cultivated in water. These facts may have a bearing on the filamentous prothalli of some Hymenophyllaceae. The reproduction of the prothallus by gemmae in species of ''Trichomanes'', ''Vittaria'' and ''Monogramme'' is another interesting adaptation; the prothallus of ''Gymnogramme''<noinclude></noinclude> i1jkkcuxeriwxnkbmkjhs2537g0953i Page:EB1911 - Volume 22.djvu/627 104 1862909 15134203 13540238 2025-06-14T17:30:35Z DivermanAU 522506 15134203 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Bob Burkhardt" />{{EB1911 Page Heading|  |PTERIDOPHYTA||611}}</noinclude>''leptophylla'' is perennial, the sporophyte being annually borne on it. The phenomena of apogamy and apospory which have now been observed in a number of Ferns, may be mentioned here. In the former the prothallus produces one or more fern-plants vegetatively, the projection which develops into the sporophyte in many cases occupying the position of an archegonium. In some apogamous Ferns sporangia may occur on the prothallus and the vegetative organs of the sporophyte may also occur singly. In apospory the converse phenomenon is seen, the gametophyte springing vegetatively from the sporangium, receptacle of the sorus, or leaf-margin of the fern-plant. In a number of cases, though not in all, apospory appears to be correlated with a failure of the sporangia to develop. {|{{Ts|mc|fs092|lh120}} |[[Image:EB1911 Pteridophyta - Nephrodium filix-mas.jpg|center|300px]] |- |width=400px|{{sm|(From Strasburger’s ''Lehrbuch der Botanik''.)}} |- |{{Ts|ac}}|{{sc|Fig}}. 7.—''Nephrodium filix-mas''. |- | ''A'', Prothallus viewed from the lower surface; ''ar'', archegonia; ''an'', antheridia; ''rh'', rhizoids (much enlarged). |- | ''B'', Prothallus bearing a young fern plant; ''b'', first leaf; ''w'', primary root. |} {|{{Ts|flr|pl1|fs092|lh120}} |[[Image:EB1911 Pteridophyta - Polypodium vulgare - antheridia and spermatozoids.jpg|center|200px]] |- |{{Ts|width:200px|ac|sm|lh110}}|(From Strasburger’s ''Lehrbuch<br>der Botanik''.) |- |{{Ts|ac}}|{{sc|Fig}}. 8.—''Polypodium vulgare''. |- | ''A'', Mature antheridium. |- | ''B'', Empty antheridium; ''p'', prothallial cell; 1, 2, cells of antheridial walls; 3, cap cell. |- | ''C'', ''D'', Spermatozoids. |} The adaptations in the vegetative organs of the sporophyte are similar to those in the Flowering Plants. Thus there are a few Ferns which climb, others are water plants, while many, especially those which live as epiphytes, are more or less xerophytic. Some of the epiphytic forms (''Polypodium quercifolium'', ''Platycerium'') have strongly dimorphic leaves, the sterile leaves serving in some cases to catch falling débris, and thus to provide the plant with soil. Lastly, the symbiotic relation between the plant and ants is found in Ferns, the rhizome of ''Polypodium'' ''carnosum'' containing cavities inhabited by these insects. The existence of these myrmecophilous Ferns suggests a possible explanation of the nectaries on the leaves of some other species, such as the Common Bracken. The main existing groups of the Filicaceae may now be briefly described, with special reference to the characters of gametophyte and sporophyte, which have been found of value in determining affinities. {{EB1911 fine print/s}} Marattiaceae.—These are ferns of considerable size, the large leaves of which are borne on a short, erect, swollen stem (''Angiopteris'', ''Marattia''), or arise from a more or less horizontal rhizome (''Danaea'', ''Kaulfussia''). The leaves, at the base of which are two large stipule-like outgrowths, have a thick leaf-stalk, and are simple or simply pinnate in ''Danaea'', pinnate in ''Archangiopteris'', bi- to tri-pinnate in ''Marattia'' and ''Angiopteris'', and digitately lobed in ''Kaulfussia''. The stem, from the ground tissue of which sclerenchyma is absent, has a complicated system of steles arranged in concentric circles; the thick roots, the central cylinders of which have several alternating groups of xylem and phloem, arise in relation to these. The pinnae, except in a few filmy forms, are thick; in ''Kaulfussia'' large <!-- column 2 --> pores derived from stomata occur in the epidermis. The sori are borne on the under surface of the pinnae, usually in a single row on either side of the midrib, but in ''Kaulfussia'' dotted over the expanded lamina. The large sporangia, each of which originates from a number of superficial cells, are here incompletely separated from one another and arranged in a single circle forming a synangium. The association is closest in ''Danaea'', where the individual sporangia of the elongated sorus, which is sunk in a depression of the leaf, open by pores; in ''Marattia'' and ''Kaulfussia'' (fig.&nbsp;2,&nbsp;''e'') they dehisce by slits on the inner face; while in ''Angiopteris'' (fig.&nbsp;2,&nbsp;''f'') they are almost free from one another. The spores produce a green prothallus of large size, the sexual organs of which hardly project from the surface. The cotyledon and stem grow up vertically through the prothallus, the root turning downwards into the soil. {|{{Ts|mc}} |[[Image:EB1911 Pteridophyta - Polypodium vulgare - archegonia.jpg|center|350px]] |- |width=400px|{{sm|(From Strasburger’s ''Lehrbuch der Botanik''.)}} |- |{{Ts|ac}}|{{sc|Fig}}. 9.—''Polypodium vulgare''. |- | ''A'', Unopened archegonium; ''o'', ovum; ''k''&#8202;″, ventral canal cell;<br>''k''&#8202;′ neck-canal-cell. |- | ''B'', Mature opened archegonium. |} Osmundaceae.—The two genera of this group, ''Osmunda'' and ''Todea'', have thick erect stems, covered with the closely crowded leaf bases. The stem is monostelic, the vascular tissues being separated into curved groups comparable with collateral vascular bundles, which surround the pith. The somewhat thick roots are diarch. The leaves are large and pinnate; their, lamina is usually thick, though filmy species of ''Todea'' occur. The leaf-base shows indications of stipular outgrowths. In ''Todea'' the sori, each of which consists of a single circle of bulky sporangia, are borne on the under surface of the pinnae. In ''Osmunda'' the region of the leaf which bears the sporangia has its lamina little developed; the leaf thus bears sterile and fertile pinnae, or, as in ''O.&nbsp;cinnamomea'', sterile and fertile leaves may be present. The sporangia originate from single cells, though surrounding cells may contribute to the formation of the stalk. The latter is thick and short, and the wall of the sporangium, which opens by a median slit, has a group of thick-walled cells at the summit, forming the annulus. The prothalli are similar to those of the other Filicaceae, but more massive; the same may be said of the archegonia and antheridia, which, however, project more than in the preceding group. Schizaeaceae.—The anatomy of the stem differs in the four recent genera of this order, and presents a series possibly illustrating the origin of a number of concentric steles from a solid stele, the intermediate step being represented by those forms in which the central cylinder is tubular. The sporangia are borne singly or in sori of two or three on the margin or under surface of leaves, the fertile pinnae of which differ more or less from the sterile segments. The sporangium is of considerable size, and dehisces by a median slit, the annulus being a more or less definitely limited horizontal ring of cells near the apex. The prothallus and sexual organs may resemble those of the Polypodiaceae; in ''Aneimia'' and ''Mohria'' the prothallus, though flattened, is not bilaterally symmetrical, the growing point being on one side; a filamentous type of prothallus is known in ''Schizaea''. Gleicheniaceae.—These forms have a horizontal rhizome, from which simply pinnate leaves arise in ''Platyzoma'', while ''Gleichenia'' bears compound pinnate leaves with continued apical growth. The rhizome usually has a solid central cylinder in ''Gleichenia'', while that of ''Platyzoma'' is tubular. The sporangia arise simultaneously in the sorus, which is borne on the under surface of the ordinary pinna; in those species with large sporangia the latter form a single circle, in others sporangia may also arise from the central part of the receptacle. The annulus is horizontal and the dehiscence median. The prothalli, while resembling those of the Polypodiaceae, have points of similarity with those of the preceding groups. Matoniaceae.—This contains the single genus ''Matonia'', two species of which are known from the eastern tropics. They are of special interest, since they have been shown to be the surviving forms of a group species which have been identified from Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks. The living species have a long rhizome, from the upper surface of which the large leaves arise; these are branched in a pedate manner, each branch being pinnate. The structure of the rhizome is complicated, a transverse section showing that the centre may be occupied by a solid stele, outside of which are two tubular steles. The sori are borne on the under surface of the pinnae,<noinclude> {{EB1911 fine print/e}}</noinclude> 3eb9u8u0uw0ghl77l295w9ls0an4czn Page:EB1911 - Volume 22.djvu/628 104 1862910 15136038 12511299 2025-06-15T00:37:56Z DivermanAU 522506 /* Validated */ 15136038 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="DivermanAU" />{{EB1911 Page Heading|612|PTERIDOPHYTA||  }} {{EB1911 fine print/s}}</noinclude>each consisting of a single series of large sporangia covered by a coriaceous indusium, which is attached to the central part of the receptacle. The sporangium, which corresponds on the whole to that of the Gleicheniaceae, has a somewhat oblique annulus; the dehiscence also is not truly median. The gametophyte is unknown. Loxsomaceae.—The single genus ''Loxsoma'' has a tubular stele in its rhizome, which bears leaves resembling those of some ''Davallias''. The elongated receptacle of the marginal sori is surrounded by a basal cup-shaped indusium. The sporangia, which arise in basipetal succession on the receptacle, dehisce by a median slit, though the annulus is somewhat oblique; they have resemblances to the Gleicheniaceae. When mature, the sporangia are raised above the margin of the indusium by the elongation of the receptacle, thus facilitating the dispersion of the spores. The gametophyte is unknown. Hymenophyllaceae.—This group, which contains the two genera ''Hymenophyllum'' and ''Trichomanes'', is characterized by the prevalent “filmy” texture of the leaves. Many of the species inhabit situations in which the air is constantly moist, especially in the tropics; some are terrestrial; others, some of which are very minute, are epiphytic on tree-stems. A single solid central cylinder is found in the rhizome. The sori, which are marginal, have a long receptacle, bearing the sporangia in basipetal succession, and are surrounded by a cup-shaped indusium. The sporangia present a considerable range in size, the largest being found in species of ''Hymenophyllum'', the smallest in ''Trichomanes''. Each has an almost horizontal annulus resembling that of ''Gleichenia'', but the dehiscence is lateral. The gametophyte in ''Hymenophyllum'' is flat and variously lobed; that of ''Trichomanes'' may be similar, but in other species is filamentous. The archegonia and antheridia present points of similarity to those of the Gleicheniaceae. Cyatheaceae.—This order includes the majority of existing tree-ferns, as well as some of smaller size. The stem has a ring of flattened steles. The sorus has a somewhat elongated receptacle, on which the sporangia arise basipetally; the indusium may be cup-shaped, bivalve or wanting. The dehiscence of the sporangium is almost transverse, as in the Polypodiaceae, but the annulus is slightly oblique. The prothalli correspond to those of the next group. Polypodiaceae.—This group, which contains the remaining ferns, includes a number of distinct lines of descent and will doubtless require subdivision as our knowledge of the morphology of the genera classed in it becomes extended. Space will not allow of an account of the progress already made in this direction. The stem in the more primitive forms has a tubular stele (solenostele); for the most part two to many steles, arranged in a ring (dictyostele). In a number of genera, which there is reason to regard as relatively primitive, the sporangia show the same regular basipetal succession as in some of the preceding groups; in the great majority, however, the succession is not regular, but those of various ages are intermixed in the sorus (fig.&nbsp;2,&nbsp;''g''). The sporangia dehisce by a transverse slit, the annulus being truly vertical or, in some of the genera in which they are regularly arranged, very slightly oblique. The structure of the prothallus and sexual organs will be evident from figs.&nbsp;7, 8 and 9; some of the more interesting modifications have been referred to above. {{EB1911 fine print/e}} Our knowledge of the extinct Filicales cannot be readily summarized, since it is in a transition state, owing to the recent evidence which has shown that many of the fern-like plants of the Palaeozoic period belonged to a group of seed-bearing plants derived from a filicineous ancestry. There is, however, abundant evidence that the Ferns were represented in the most ancient floras known, though they were not such a dominant group as has hitherto been supposed. The best known of these ancient Ferns belong to the Botryopterideae; the characters of this group point to its having been the starting-point of several series of existing Ferns (see {{EB1911 article link|Palaeobotany}}: ''Palaeozoic''). A consideration of the Filicaceae as arranged above will show that the several sub-orders may in general terms be said to form a series between those in which the sorus consists of a single circle of bulky sporangia and those Polypodiaceae in which the numerous small sporangia appear to be grouped without order in the sorus. When the survey is extended to the extinct Ferns of which the fructification is known, many of those from the more ancient rocks are found to group themselves with the existing sub-orders with large sporangia, such as the Marattiaceae, Gleicheniaceae and Schizaeaceae; the Polypodiaceae, on the other hand, do not appear until much later. The extinct forms cannot be dealt with in detail here; but it may be pointed out that their order of appearance affords a certain amount of direct evidence that the existing Ferns with a single circle of large sporangia in the sorus are relatively primitive. The series which can be constructed from a study of the sorus is in general supported by the anatomy of the sporophyte, and by the <!-- column 2 --> structure and sexual organs of the gametophyte. A more detailed investigation of all the characters of the Ferns will be needed before the course of evolution thus broadly indicated can be traced, but the results obtained afford a deeper insight into the general method of progression and the selective factors in the process. On the ground mainly of an examination of the sorus and sporangium, Bower has shown that the Filicaceae may be divided into three groups—the ''Simplices'', ''Gradatae'' and ''Mixtae''—in which the sporangia arise simultaneously, in basipetal succession, or irregularly in the sorus respectively. The first includes the Marattiaceae, Osmundaceae, Schizaeaceae, Gleicheniaceae and Matoniaceae; the second the Loxsomaceae, Hymenophyllaceae, Cyatheaceae and the Dennstaedtineae (a group including species placed in the ''Synopsis Filicum'' in ''Dicksonia'' and ''Davallia''); while the remaining Polypodiaceae constitute the Mixtae. The change from the one type of sorus to the other may have taken place in several different lines of descent, some of which have been traced. A consideration of the biology of the sorus gives an insight into the advantages obtained by the one type over the preceding, as regards protection, spore production and the dispersal of the spores, and thus indicates the way in which natural selection may have acted. The differences in the form and mode of dehiscence of the sporangia (those of the Simplices having median dehiscence and a horizontal annulus, those of the Gradatae a more or less oblique position of the annulus and of the plane of dehiscence, while in the Mixtae the annulus is vertical and the dehiscence transverse) stand in relation to the position of the sporangia in the sorus relatively to one another. The application of the important criteria which Bower has thus pointed out to the construction of a strictly phylogenetic classification of the Filicaceae cannot be made until the anatomy, the sexual generation and the palaeobotanical evidence have been further examined from this point of view. Though on this account and because the subdivisions Simplices, Gradatae and Mixtae do not correspond to definite phylogenetic groups, they have not been used in classifying the Ferns above; they are of great importance as an advance towards a natural classification. {{sc|Hydropterideae.}}—Two very distinct orders of heterosporous Filicales, the Salviniaceae and the Marsiliaceae, are included in this group. The difficulty of determining their exact relationship to the other orders of Ferns is increased by the more or less completely aquatic habit of the plants and the modifications and reductions in structure associated with this. The absence of an annulus from their indehiscent sporangia makes it impossible to compare them with the other Ferns in respect of this important character. It has been suggested with considerable probability that the Marsiliaceae are allied to the Schizaeaceae, while the Salviniaceae may possibly be related to the Hymenophyllaceae or to some other family of the Gradatae. Space will only permit of a brief general account of the more obvious features of the several genera, the structure and life-history of which are known in great detail. Unlike as they are in many respects, the two orders agree in being heterosporous. The microspores on germination produce a small, greatly reduced male prothallus bearing one or two antheridia which give rise to a number of spirally coiled, multiciliate spermatozoids. The single large megaspore contained in each megasporangium produces a small prothallus, which bears one or a few archegonia; these are exposed on the surface of the prothallus at the summit of the germinated megaspore {{nowrap|(fig. 1, ''i''&#8198;).}} {{EB1911 fine print/s}} 1. The Salviniaceae include the two genera ''Salvinia'' (fig. 10) and ''Azolla''. The small dorsiventral plants are in both cases floating aquatics. ''Azolla'' has roots depending from the lower surface of the stem into the water, while these organs are completely wanting in ''Salvinia'', their place being taken functionally by highly divided leaves borne on the ventral surface of the stem. ''Nostoc'' colonies are constantly present in a special cavity of the dorsal lobe of the leaf in ''Azolla''. The sporangia in both genera are associated in sori enclosed by indusia springing from the base of the receptacle. In ''Salvinia'' (fig.&nbsp;2,&nbsp;''h'') the sori are borne towards the base of the submerged leaves, in ''Azolla'' on the reduced ventral lobe of the leaf. They consist either of microsporangia or megasporangia, which are arranged in basipetal succession on the receptacle. In the megasorus of ''Azolla''<noinclude> {{EB1911 fine print/e}}</noinclude> 8ownez6l2c7tgzymmchdkw39v7b52jt Page:EB1911 - Volume 22.djvu/629 104 1862911 15136071 6850094 2025-06-15T00:55:19Z DivermanAU 522506 /* Validated */ 15136071 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="DivermanAU" />{{EB1911 Page Heading|  |PTERIDOPHYTA||613}} {{EB1911 fine print/s}}</noinclude>there is only the one terminal, functional sporangium.

The Marsiliaceae also include two genera, ''Marsilia'' and ''Pilularia'', the latter of which is found in Britain. The plants grow as a rule in marshy places, though some species of ''Marsilia'' are xerophytic. The creeping stem produces roots from the ventral surface and leaves from the dorsal surface; the leaves when young are circinately coiled. The leaves are simple and linear in ''Pilularia'', but in ''Marsilia'' bear a pinnate four-lobed lamina. The highly specialized sporocarps are borne on the basal portions of the leaves, as a rule singly, but in some species of ''Marsilia'' in numbers. The development of the sporocarp shows that it corresponds to a pinna, although when mature it may appear to occupy a ventral position in relation to the vegetative portion of the leaf. It has a complicated structure in both genera; in ''Pilularia'' its shape is nearly spherical, while in ''Marsilia'' it is elongated and bean-shaped. The sori are developed in depressions and are thus protected within the resistent<!--valid alternate spelling, also used in "Horace" article--> outer wall of the sporocarp. There are usually four sori in ''Pilularia'', while in ''Marsilia'' they form two longitudinal rows. Each sorus includes both microsporangia, with numerous spores, and megasporangia, each of which contains a single megaspore with a complicated wall. Enclosed within the sporocarp they can endure a period of drought, but on the return of moist conditions are extruded from the sporocarp by the swelling of a special mucilaginous tissue and the spores become free. The development of the prothalli is in general similar to that of the Salviniaceae, though the resemblance may be homoplastic. The stem in the less reduced forms is solenostelic with sclerenchymatous ground tissue occupying the centre of the stele. {{EB1911 fine print/e}} In the absence of direct evidence from Palaeobotany, and bearing in mind the modifications associated with adaptation to an aquatic life in other plants, the recognition of any more definite affinity for these heterosporous ferns than that indicated above appears to be inadvisable. Further evidence is necessary before they can be removed from such a position of convenience as is assigned to them here and placed in proper relation to the series of the Filicaceae. The several phyla of Pteridophyta having now been briefly described, their relationship to one another remains for consideration. The available evidence does not suffice to solve this question, although certain indications exist. In the earliest land vegetations of which we have any sufficient record specialized forms of Equisetales, Lycopodiales, {{EB1911 Shoulder Heading|width=7|Phylogeny.}} Sphenophyllales and Filicales existed, so that we are reduced to hypotheses founded on the careful comparison of the recent and extinct members of these groups. In this connexion it may be pointed out that the fuller study of the extinct forms has as yet been of most use in emphasizing the difficulty of the questions at issue. It has thus led to a condition of uncertainty as regards the relationship of the great groups of Vascular Cryptogams, in which, however, lies the hope of an ultimate approach to a satisfactory solution. The study of the Sphenophyllales, however, as has been pointed out above, appears to indicate that the Equisetales and Lycopodiales may be traced back to a common ancestry. As to the relationship of the Filicales to the other phyla, evidence from extinct plants appears to be wanting. <!-- column 2 --> If, as has been suggested by Bower, the strobiloid types are relatively primitive, the large-leaved Pteridophyta must be supposed to have arisen early from such forms. The question cannot be discussed fully here, but enough has been said above to show that in the light of our present knowledge the main phyla of the Vascular Cryptogams cannot be placed in any serial relationship to one another. It may even be regarded as an open question whether some of them may not have arisen independently and represent parallel lines of evolution from Bryophytic or Algal forms. This leads us to consider the question whether any indications exist as to the manner in which the Pteridophyta arose. It will be evident that no direct record of this evolution can be expected, and recourse must be had to hypotheses founded on the indirect evidence available. There appears to be no reason to doubt that the sexual generation is homologous with the thallus of a Liverwort, or of such an Alga as ''Coleochaete''. It is with regard to the origin of the spore-bearing generation of the Pteridophyta that differences of opinion exist. This, though at first dependent on the prothallus, soon becomes independent. It may be regarded as derived from a wholly dependent sporogonium not unlike that of some of the simpler Bryophyta; the latter are assumed to have arisen from primitive Algal forms, in which, as the first step in the interpolation of the second generation in the life cycle, the, fertilized ovum gave rise to a group of swarm spores, each of which developed into a new sexual plant. On this view the origin of the sporophyte is looked for in the gradual development of sterile tissue in the generation arising from the fertilized ovum, and a consequent postponement of spore-formation. Certain green Algae (''e.g.'' ''Oedogonium'', ''Coleochaete''), the Bryophyta, and the simpler Pteridophyta, such as ''Phylloglossum'', have been regarded as illustrating the method of progression, though there is no reason to regard the existing forms as constituting an actual series. For a discussion of this view, which regards the alternation of generations in Pteridophytes as antithetic and the two generations as not homologous with one another, reference may be made to the works of Celakovsky and Bower. Although the antithetic theory is supported by many facts regarding the life-history and structure of the group of plants under consideration, it is quite possible that a stage in which the sporophyte was wholly dependent on the gametophyte may never have been passed through in their evolution. The spore-bearing generation may throughout its phylogenetic history have been independent at one part of its life, and have been derived by modification of individuals homologous with those of the sexual generation, and not by the progressive sterilization of a structure the whole of which was originally devoted to asexual reproduction. A number of facts regarding the Algae, and also those relating to such deviations from the normal life cycle as apogamy or apospory, may be regarded as lending support to this view, which, in contrast to the theory of antithetic alternation, has been called that of homologous alternation. Without entering further into the discussion of these alternative theories, for which the literature of the subject must be consulted, it may be pointed out that on the latter view the strobiloid forms of Pteridophyta would not necessarily be regarded as primitive relatively to the large-leaved forms, and also that the early stages of the origin of the sporophyte in the two cases may have proceeded on different lines. Another question of great interest, which can only be touched upon here and may fitly close the consideration of this division of the Vegetable Kingdom, concerns the evidence as to the derivation of higher groups from the Pteridophyta. The most important positive evidence on this point indicates that the most ancient Gymnosperms were derived from the Filicales rather than from any other phylum of the Vascular Cryptogams. Extinct forms are known intermediate between the Ferns and the Cycads, and a number of these have been shown to bear seeds and must be classed as Pteridospermae. These forms will, however, be found discussed in the articles treating of extinct plants and the Gymnosperms, but their recognition will serve<noinclude></noinclude> qqs6zmjbo1b1lvejaro0mo32455hsw1 Page:EB1911 - Volume 22.djvu/630 104 1862912 15136437 14207873 2025-06-15T04:13:41Z DivermanAU 522506 /* Validated */ crooks→crocks; amend printer's error: Fankräuter→Farnkräuter (see correctly spelled in EB1911 "Ettingshausen, Constantin" article); {{EB1911 footer initials}} etc. 15136437 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="DivermanAU" />{{EB1911 Page Heading|614|PTEROBRANCHIA||  }}</noinclude><section begin="Pteridophyta" />to emphasize, in conclusion, the important position the Pteridophyta hold with regard to the existing flora. {{EB1911 fine print/s}} ''Cultivation''.—Numerous species of ferns, both temperate and tropical, are cultivated as valued ornamental plants. Species of the other groups are occasionally grown for scientific purposes in the larger botanic gardens, but their cultivation, which often presents special difficulties, need not be referred to here. While a number of ferns can be multiplied vegetatively, by buds formed on the leaves and in other ways, the regular mode of propagation is by sowing the spores shed from the ripe sporangia. The spores should be thinly sprinkled on the surface of the soil in well-drained pots, which should stand in saucers filled with water and be covered with glass plates. After the prothalli have attained some size and bear sexual organs the pots should be occasionally sunk in water so as to flood the prothalli for a few minutes and facilitate fertilization. The young plants developed on the prothalli should be carefully pricked out into other pans and later transferred to 3-in. pots. When the pots are fairly filled with roots the plants may be shifted into larger ones. The best time for a general repotting of ferns is in spring, just before growth commences. Those with creeping rhizomes can be propagated by dividing these into well-rooted portions, and, if a number of crowns is formed, they can be divided at that season. In most cases this can be performed with little risk, but the ''Gleichenias'', for example, must only be cut into large portions, as small divisions of the rhizomes are almost certain to die; in such cases, however, the points of the rhizomes can be led over and layered into small pots, several in succession, and allowed to remain unsevered from the parent plant until they become well rooted. In potting the well-established plants, and all those of considerable size, the soil should be used in a rough turfy state, not sifted but broken, and one-sixth of broken crocks or charcoal and as much sand as will insure free percolation should be mixed with it. The stove ferns require a day temperature of 65° to 75°, but do not thrive in an excessively high or close dry atmosphere. They require only such shade as will shut out the direct rays of the sun, and, though abundant moisture must be supplied, the atmosphere should not be loaded with it. The water used should always be at or near the temperature of the house in which the plants are growing. Some ferns, as the different kinds of ''Gymnogrammae'' and ''Cheilanthes'', prefer a drier atmosphere than others, and the former do not well bear a lower winter temperature than about 60° by night. Most other stove ferns, if dormant, will bear a temperature as low as 55° by night and 60° by day from November to February. About the end of the latter month the whole collection should be turned out of the pots and redrained or repotted into larger pots as required. This should take place before growth has commenced. Towards the end of March the night temperature may be raised to 60°, and the day temperature to 70° or 75°, the plants being shaded in bright weather. Such ferns as ''Gymnogrammas'', which have their surface covered with golden or silver powder, and certain species of scaly-surfaced ''Cheilanthes'' and ''Nothochlaena'', as they cannot bear to have their fronds wetted, should never be syringed; but most other ferns may have a moderate sprinkling occasionally (not necessarily daily) and as the season advances sufficient air and light must be admitted. {{sc|Authorities.}}—Scott, ''Structural Botany: Flowerless Plants'' (London, 1896), ''Studies in Fossil Botany'' (Edinburgh, 1900);* Campbell, ''Mosses and Ferns'' (London, 1895);* Engler and Prantl, ''Die'' ''naturlichen Pflanzenfamilien'' (Theil i.

It contained at that time the single genus ''Rhabdopleura'', a minute animal dredged by Sars off the Lofoten Islands, and by Norman off the Shetlands. ''Rhabdopleura'' was at first regarded as an aberrant Polyzoon, but with the publication of the ''Challenger Report'' (''Cephalodiscus'') in 1887, it became clear that ''Cephalodiscus'', the second genus now included in the order, had affinities in the direction of the Enteropneusta. The connexion of the Pterobranchia with the Polyzoa is in the highest degree questionable. ''Rhabdopleura'' is no doubt of world-wide distribution, since it has been recorded in various localities from Greenland to South Australia, usually in water of not less than forty fathoms. ''Cephalodiscus'', which for many years was known solely as the result of a single dredging by the “Challenger” from 245&nbsp;fathoms in the Straits of Magellan, has recently been found in entirely different parts of the world, as for instance between Japan and Korea at 100&nbsp;fathoms, at about half that depth off the south-east coast of Celebes, and between tide-marks on the coast of Borneo. <!-- column 2 --> It appears to be common in the neighbourhood of Cape Town, while the recent Antarctic expeditions have shown that it occurs in various localities from the Falkland Islands to the Antarctic circle. No less than twelve species, referred to three sub-genera (''Demiothecia'', ''Idiothecia'', ''Orthoecus''), have now been described; but it is at present uncertain whether more than a single species of ''Rhabdopleura'' is valid, although several specific names have been suggested for specimens from different localities. Both genera are characterized by their habit of secreting a tubular gelatinoid investment, the “coenoecium,” composed of a number of superposed lamellae, doubtless the result of its intermittent secretion, mainly though perhaps not exclusively, by the proboscides of the zooids. In ''Rhabdopleura'' each zooid forms its own delicate tube composed of a characteristic series of distinct rings. In ''Cephalodiscus'' the coenoecium is more massive, and may contain a continuous irregular cavity in which the zooids live (''Demiothecia''), or may be secreted in such a way that each zooid has its own independent tube (''Idiothecia'', ''Orthoecus''). {{EB1911 fine print/s}} The zooids are a modification of the type of structure known in ''Balanoglossus'', from which they differ principally in the following respects: (i.)&nbsp;The alimentary canal, instead of being straight, has a U-shaped flexure, the dorsal line between the mouth and the anus being short. (ii.)&nbsp;The proboscis (fig.&nbsp;1,&nbsp;''b''), known as the “buccal shield,” is a large organ, strongly flattened in an antero-posterior direction, its ventral lobe usually concealing the mouth. (iii.)&nbsp;The collar is produced dorsally into arms (one pair in ''Rhabdopleura'', four to eight pairs in ''Cephalodiscus''), each of which bears numerous ciliated tentacles, the organs by which the microscopic food-particles are conveyed to the mouth. (iv.)&nbsp;The third division of the body, the metasome, is prolonged ventrally into a relatively enormous outgrowth containing the loop of the alimentary canal, beyond which projects a stalk (fig.&nbsp;1,&nbsp;''c''), of a length varying with the state of contraction and perhaps with the species. (v.)&nbsp;The stalk gives rise to buds, by which the colonial habit is acquired. While in ''Rhabdopleura'' the buds remain in organic continuity with the parent, in ''Cephalodiscus'' they become free at an early stage, and the coenoecium accordingly contains a number of separate individuals. In the living ''Cephalodiscus'' a zooid can crawl by means of its proboscis over the gelatinous processes of the outer side of the coenoecium, a position which it can assume owing to the very great extensibility of the stalk, the proximal suctorial end of which remains attached to the inner surface of some part of the coenoecium (Andersson, 1907). {|{{Ts|mc|lh100}} |colspan=4|[[Image:EB1911 Pterobranchia - zooid of Cephalodiscus dodecalophus.jpg|290px|center]] |- |colspan=4|{{sm|(From a drawing by Professor McIntosh.)}} |- |width=350px colspan=4| {{sc|Fig.}} 1.—Zooid of ''Cephalodiscus dodecalophus''. |- |align="right"|''a'',&nbsp;''a'', |&nbsp;Buds. |align="right"|''d'', |&nbsp;Arms and tentacles. |- |align="right"|''b'', |&nbsp;Proboscis. |align="right"|''e'', |{{nowrap|&nbsp;Ventral edge of proboscis.}} |- |align="right"|''c'', |&nbsp;Stalk. |align="right"|''f'', |&nbsp;Its dorsal edge. |} In correspondence with the fundamental constitution of the zooid, each of the three segments has its own body-cavity separated from the others.

A pair of gill-slits (fig.&nbsp;3,&nbsp;''g.s.''), which do not occur in ''Rhabdopleura'', open immediately behind the collar-pores. It is probable that they serve to strain off the superfluous water which is introduced into the mouth during the process of feeding. An anterior median diverticulum of the pharynx (fig.&nbsp;2, ''nch.''), growing forwards in the septum between the proboscis-cavity and the collar-cavities, and supported dorsally by the median mesentery of the collar, is the representative of the so-called notochord or stomochord of ''Balanoglossus''; and if the view that this organ is really a notochord is well founded, it may be regarded as the homologue of the anterior end of the Vertebrate notochord. The metasome contains nearly the whole of the alimentary canal, in which pharynx (fig.&nbsp;2,&nbsp;''ph.''), oesophagus (''oes.''), stomach (''st.'') and intestine (''int.'') may be distinguished. The remarkable position of the anus (''a'') on the dorsal side has already been alluded to. The metasomatic cavities are divided by dorsal (fig. 3, ''d.mes.'') and ventral mesenteries, the latter following the outer curvature of the loop of the alimentary canal. The most conspicuous blood vessel possessed by ''Cephalodiscus'' is the dorsal vessel (''d.b.v.''). A ventral vessel occurs on the anterior side of the metasome and forms a loop extending down the entire length of the stalk, while a “heart” projects into the cavity of the pericardium, probably connected on the ventral side of the notochord with the ventral vessel, and on its dorsal side with the dorsal vessel. At their opposite ends the dorsal and ventral vessels are probably connected with one another by means of a splanchnic sinus surrounding the stomach. The original specimen of ''C.&nbsp;dodecalophus'' contained exclusively female zooids, in which a single pair of ovaries (figs.&nbsp;2, 3, ''ov.'') lie in the metasomatic cavities, and open to the exterior dorsally by short, highly <!-- column 2 --> pigmented oviducts (fig.&nbsp;2, ''ovd.''). In ''C.&nbsp;nigrescens'' and in some other species a zooid may contain a pair of ovaries, a pair of testes, or an ovary and a testis, although the males, females and hermaphrodites do not differ from one another in external characters. In ''C.&nbsp;sibogae'' (Celebes) the single colony known is of the male sex. The reproductive individuals have undergone an extraordinary simplification of the organs concerned with the collection and digestion of food. Thus the arms are reduced to a single pair and possess no tentacles, there is no definite operculum, and the alimentary canal is vestigial. The testes, which correspond in position with the ovaries of a female ''Cephalodiscus'', constitute the greater part of the animal. Associated with these males are neuter zooids, which usually possess no functional reproductive organs, but have in other respects the structure of an ordinary female ''Cephalodiscus''. It appears probable that there is a vascular connexion between these and the male individuals, which thus derive their nutriment from the neuters. The reproductive organs of ''Rhabdopleura'' have but seldom been observed. They resemble those of ''Cephalodiscus'' in structure and in position, except that in each sex the gonad occurs on the right side of the body only (Schepotieff, 1906). {|{{Ts|flr|pl1|lh110}} |colspan="2"|[[Image:EB1911 Pterobranchia - C. dodecalophus - frontal section.jpg|250px|center]] |- |colspan="2"|{{sm|(After Masterman.)}} |- |width=250px colspan="2"| {{sc|Fig. 3.}}—Section transverse to the long axis of ''Cephalodiscus dodecalophus'' (morphologically a frontal section). |-valign="top" |''b.c''{{sup|3}}., |Body cavity of metasome. |-valign="top" |''c.p.'', |Collar-canal, above which is seen the operculum. |-valign="top" |''d.b.v.'', |Dorsal blood-vessel. |-valign="top" |{{nowrap|''d.mes.'',&nbsp;}} |Dorsal mesentery. |- |''ep.'', |Proboscis. |-valign="top" |''g.s.'', |Gill-slit. |- |''int.'', |Intestine. |-valign="top" |''l.c.c.'', |Left collar-cavity. |- |''m.'', |Mouth |- |''ov.'', |Ovary. |-valign="top" |''plch'', |width="200"|Vacuolated tissue of pharyngeal wall, the so-called “pleurochords” of Masterman. |-valign="top" |''r.c.c.'', |Right collar-cavity. |} The eggs of ''Cephalodiscus'' possess a large amount of yolk, and it is practically certain that there is no pelagic larval form. The embryos are hatched in an early stage, but their metamorphosis has not been observed. The early development appears to resemble that of the large-yolked species of ''Balanoglossus.'' In the bud-development, the three-segmented condition is extremely conspicuous, and a striking feature is the great relative size of the proboscis (fig. 1). A considerable part of the alimentary canal is said to be derived from the ectoderm in the buds of both ''Cephalodiscus'' and ''Rhabdopleura''. Schepotieff (1907) states that in the young buds of the latter the central part of the alimentary canal is developed from cells which are apparently not of ectodermic origin. {{EB1911 fine print/e}} The affinity of the Pterobranchia to the Enteropneusta may be regarded as definitely established. Considering the wide differences between the two groups in the size and external characters, and in the mode of life, including the mode of feeding, it is indeed surprising that in every important organ the two groups should show a fundamental morphological identity. Their relations to ''Phoronis'' are doubtful (see {{EB1911 article link|Phoronidea}}). The question of their affinity to other divisions of the animal kingdom depends principally on the views which are held with regard to the relationships of the Enteropneusta and Phoronidea respectively. The suggestion has been made by Allmann and recently upheld by Schepotieff that ''Rhabdopleura'' is related to some of the Graptolites. {{EB1911 fine print/s}} {{sc|Bibliography}}.—(1) Andersson, “Die Pterobranchier,” ''Wiss.''

LOUIS Necessary for Real Proprietors of Mis- souri Pacific to Stand Together to Protect Their Interests. NEW YORK, March 15. Frank J. Gould, who announced last njght his In- tention later to issue a statement of an alleged effort by the Standard Oil in- terests to force the corporation's wishes upon the management of the Missouri Pacific, issued another statement today explaining why he had sided with the minority stockholders in yesterday's meeting in St. Louis. "The tendency," he said, "recently has been to make prominent projects which looked to many permanent holders of Missouri Pacific securities, as possibly disastrous and the contest at St. L .ouis was made to correct not only such an impression, but to put the management of the company into hands which pro- tect the integrity of the system. The result was that the real proprietors have Indicated that they will stand together in preserving their property int'act. " Mr. Gould would not say when the statement regarding the Standard Oil in- terests would be made public. DEATH SENTENCE FOR MURDERER IS PASSED End of Sensational Trial of Stlnle Mor- rison In London Court. LONDON'. March 15. Stlnlo Morrison today was found guilty of the murder of Joseph Eeron, and sentenced to death. Tho police tried to connect the tragedy with the Hounds Ditch anarchist bur- glaries, and the trial was one of the most sensational ever held in Tondon. The mutiiated body of Reron was found on Clappham common early in January. The police theory was that the victim was a member of the Hounds Ditch crowd, and had been killed for treachery uy hir- - associates. The evidence was wholly circumstan- tial. Morrison, who is a Russian, claimed (hat he spent the evening of the murder at a music hall and the rest of the night at his home. Most of the witnesses were from the "Whitechapol district, and start- ling assertions were made on both sides. A sensation was caused this afternoon when the closing arguments of counsel weie interrupted to admit the testimony of a policeman who declared that his col- leagues had sworn falsely. Morrison made many incriminating ad- missions, and under admitted that he had been several times convicted of burglary. RETIRED PAYMASTER OF THE NAVY IS DEAD SANTA BARBARA, Cal.. March 15.

SYDNEY, C. B., March 15. That the rigorous winter just closing hns caused extreme suffering and probably many deaths among the people in the barren Labrador peninsula who have been cut off for months by great ico Holds from the poestblllty of securing food and clothing, is the one fear felt here and in Newfound- land. The last reports, which were received late last fall, said the food supplies were almost exhausted and that nundrcds of tho natives, mainly tisher folk and their families, were on the verge of starvation. Supplies were immediately sent to relieve tho situation then regarded as extreme, but months have passed since then and the stricken Labrador people havo had no help nor has word come to the outside world as to how they are faring. Repeated efforts havo been mado to carry succor to the starving people. Ves- sels, laden with supplies of food and clothing, have failed repeatedly to pierce ico tloes which choke the strait of Belle Isle, the narrow stretch of water which separates Labrador from the northern coast of Newfoundland. The present misfortunes of the Labra- dor people had their beginning In the failuro of last season's fishing catch. It was the poorest in years. As a result there was no money on hand to buy food and clothing. A blizzard which swept over Newfoundland and Labrador last week Is bcliovcd to have caused much damage. Tho interior of Newfoundland was completely Isolated for several days, scarcely a telephone and telegraph wire being left standing. A blanket o snow reported In somo places as being from twenty to thirty feet deep, covered most of the colony. COURT REFUSES TO PASS UPON BIG BILLS WASHINGTON. March 15. Justice Gould.

STUDENTS MAKE THEIR PROTEST PUBLIC Continued From Page One. <section begin="BYU STUDENTS"/>investigation, if for no other reason than we stand for fair play and toleration of the beliefs of all men? Is not this our missionary watchword? We are convinced that nothing can be gained by excluding these subjects from our college, since every man or woman who goes east or west to colleges of high rank must face the questions. We believe that we should provide for him to meet them here under circumstances that will assist him in making for sane, conservative, and logical adjustment. We have just reached the point in our educational career as a college where our work is being recognized by up-to-date universities. This recognition means considerable to us educationally and to our hopes as a church of wielding an influence among humanity. If the proposed restrictions are adopted, it needs only common foresight to foretell the effect upon our credit abroad. Those of us who have had work under the men who are being criticised are unanimous in denying the alleged evil effects of their teachings. They are all leaders in their respective lines. They are eminently successful as teachers, and for our present needs we consider them to be without peers. Aside from our appreciation of their scholarship, we have the highest respect for their integrity as men and as loyal members of the Church. {{larger|''Need of Such Courses''}} Those of us who have had missionary experience realize the need of just such a course as we are now getting now to enable us to defend the truth against all comers. While we are free to admit that in the new light some points of doctrine, as we have understood them, lose their former color, we see a deeper meaning in life than before, additional evidence of an all-wise God, and a new and holier significance in the message of Mormonism and all other revelations of God to man. It is not simply a question of dropping the professors who have been criticised, but we believe that the proposed policy, if persisted in, can amount to nothing else than a death-blow to our college work, because it is impossible to secure men equal in scholarship to the ones we have, who are so thoroughly in sympathy with the Church, who do not give credence to the same objectionable theories. We have great faith in the Church and we can hardly imagine that any policy contrary to its best needs will be adopted, but we ask you to consider what the proposed restriction would mean for us educationally, and what it would mean to our critics, and what it would mean to our standing in the educational world. Some of our fondest hopes have been for the future of the ‘dear old B. Y. U.’- that it would continue to grow and continue to adapt itself to the growing needs of humanity and demonstrate to the world, as only that can demonstrate, that Mormonism is a real, vitalized divine institution.

Interior Walter Fisher is con- centrating his forces in Seattle for the work of canceling alleged fraudulent Alaska coal land claims so that the laud may be opened for mining under 'ca9e or royulty, as congress inny di- rect. With the closing of the grand jury session in Chicago the interior depart- ment's Alaska coal experts and at- torneys will bo assembled in Seattle. S. It. Push, assistant to the United States attorney general, with head- quarters in Omaha, is already here and has been engaged for ten days in preparing the government's brief to bo used in the prosecution of fraudul- ent, land claims. M. S. Hibbard, mining surveyor and mining expert in the government em- ploy, who was one of those who exam- ined the Alaskan fields for the field di- vision last fall, is expected in Seattle tomorrow. A. Christcnsen, chief of the field di- vision with offices in Seattle, who is now in Chicago, will arrive in Seattle within ten days and with him will come B. D. Townsend, special assistant to the attorney general. Both have been engaged in Detroit and Chicago in the grand jury work. Tho first skirmish will occur on March 20 when Judge C. 1L Hanford will hear the arguments on the demur- rers filed by attorneys for Cornelius Christopher and George Siminonds, in- dicted in Tacoma last October. This case involves 6087 acres of coal lands in the Katalla district of Alaska. On March 2S the trial of Archie W. Shields, C. F . Munday, Algernon A. Stracey and Earl E. Siegley, charged with conspiracy to defraud the gov- ernment of coal lands valued at more than $J .000,000, will bo begun. Tho defendants wore indicted by the fed- eral grand . " jury sitting at Tacoma. As soon as the Stracey group shall have been disposed of the government forces will arguo to the demurrer of D. A. and O. A. McKejizie and Parrj White, indicted by the federal grand jury sitting at Spokane on charges similar to the others conspiracy to ac- quire coal lands in excess of the amount allowed by law and in violation of the statutes relating to the acquisition of coal lands. The date for the trial has not been set. The Copper Kiver and Alaska Cen- tral railroads will build lines into the coal fields as soon as the' are opened to mining.

BOSTON. March 15. Details of the re- cent riots in Hang Chow, China, are con- tained In letters received at the head- quarters of the American Baptist For- eign MIsBlon socloty from its mission- aries. The trouble started from a false report spread by coolies that a police- man had kicked a, coolie to death In the foreign concession., A mob quickly gathered. Sailors were landed from two foreign gunboats and assisted the police and volunteer militia In controlling the crowd until the arrival of a thousand Chinese troops from Wu Chang, across the Yangtse river. The foreigners then yielded the field to the Chinese soldiers, who proved in- efficient. The mob grew larger, shops were raided and missiles were soon fly- ing. The situation became so serious that the foreign sailors were ordered to Are. As a result ten Chinese were killed and several wounded. The city then gradu- ally quieted down, although it was kept under martial law for a time. WASHINGTON; March 15.

Senators Newlands of Nevada and Chamberlain of Oregon today tiled with the irrigation committee of the senate a protest against tho report made by a majority of the committee members on the closing day ofcongres3 on the administration of the reclamation service. The protest recites that the majority report was- - prepared by the chairman of the committee, for- mer Senator Carter, and submitted dur- ing the closing hours of congress with- out giving the members of the commit- tee time to discuss or consider It. It further contends that the criti- cisms of the majority report upon the administration of the reclamation serv- ice are unwarranted, and praises gener- ally the work of former Secretary Hitch- cock and Secretary Garfield and Direc- tor Newell In their connection with the administration of the reclamation act. The protest says that the government reclamation projects arc well planned and rorm a standard for the construction of private works, and that the results accomplished by the reclamation service are superior to those following other legislation dealing with public lands. It defends Director Newell against all th" criticisms which were freely bestowed upon him in the majority report. AKED'S RESIGNATION FINALLY ACCEPTED NEW YORK. March 15 The resigna- tion of the Pvev.

It has produced out of its own resources a number of distinctive systems and sects, two of which, at least, are of world-wide interest and importance. Brahmanism, in its manifold aspects, is to this day the religion of about 200 millions of people in India herself, a matter of interest on the face of it. But its universal importance lies with the Brahmanical systems of religious philosophy, especially the two known respectively as Vedānta and Sānkhya. These are two religio-philosophical, or theosophical systems which essay to probe the twin riddle of the universe and human life. They do this in so penetrating a way as to place them by the side of the most profound philosophic endeavors of other nations. The beginnings of this philosophy are found in the so-called Upanishads, a set of treatises which are part of the Veda. The Upanishads contain the higher religion of the Veda. The essence of higher Brahmanical religion is Upanishad religion. The religion of the Upanishads is part of the theme of these lectures. Buddhism started in the bosom of Brahmanism. Its radical reforms, concerning both doctrine and practical life, are directed in good part against Brahmanism. Yet Buddhism is a religion genuinely<noinclude></noinclude> daeszwml17lto96bee7kfr9ydr4qf2a Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/19 104 2048099 15135945 12556101 2025-06-14T22:41:52Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15135945 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh||India the Land of Religions|3}}</noinclude>Hindu in its texture. It shares with Brahmanism its dominant religious ideas. Transmigration of souls, pessimism, and the all-absorbing desire to be released from an endless chain of existences, linked together by successive deaths, – these are the axioms of both Brahmanism and Buddhism. After spreading over the continent of India Buddhism crossed over into Ceylon, Farther India, and the islands of the Asiatic Archipelago. To the north it passed into and across the great Himālaya Mountains to Nepaul, Thibet, Turkestan, China, Korea, and Japan. In its various forms it is to this day one of the world's great religions. There are no absolutely reliable statistics as to the number of Buddhists upon the surface of the earth; 300 millions may be regarded as a conservative estimate of the number of people who either are Buddhists, or whose religion has been shaped by Buddhist ideas. Brahmanism and Buddhism, both Hindu products, together supply the religious needs of 500 millions of the earth's inhabitants. In another sense India is the land of religions. Nowhere else is the texture of life so much impregnated with religious convictions and practices. At a very early time belief in the transmigration of souls (metempsychosis), whose precise origin in India is still something of a problem, planted itself<noinclude></noinclude> kag9u66xi5epvirwrt28tamcm8tlzlq Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/20 104 2048100 15135688 12556105 2025-06-14T22:37:19Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15135688 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh|4|The Religion of the Veda}}</noinclude>down in the Hindu mind as the basis and fundamental axiom of all speculations about the soul and future life. This of itself is merely a theory. The practical importance of this theory is, that it is coupled almost from the start with a pessimistic view of life. According to this the everlasting round of existences is a nuisance, and release from it an imperative necessity. It would be difficult to find anywhere else a purely speculative notion which has taken so firm a hold upon practical life. It pervades the Hindu consciousness in a far more real and intimate way than its great rival, the belief in an eternal future life, pervades the religious thought of the Western world. From the beginning of India's history religious institutions control the character and the development of its people to an extent unknown elsewhere. Hindu life from birth to death, and even after death in the fancied life of the Fathers, or Manes in heaven, is religious, or sacramental throughout. It is surrounded by institutions and practices, and clouded by superstitions which are discarded only by them that have worked their way to the highest philosophical aspects of religion. The religious life of the Brahmanical Hindu is divided into the four stages<ref>Called ''āçrama,'' literally, "hermitages."</ref> of religious disciple; {{hws|god|god-fearing}}<noinclude></noinclude> a7oc8ays9xwxjso4i2okyito98q4znl Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/21 104 2048101 15135752 12556104 2025-06-14T22:38:37Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15135752 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh||India the Land of Religions|5}}</noinclude>{{hwe|fearing|god-fearing}} and sacrificing householder; contemplative forest dweller; and wandering, world-abandoning ascetic. Such at least is the theory of their religious law. Even though practice at all times fell short of this mechanical and exacting arrangement, yet the claim is allowed that life is an essentially solitary religious pilgrimage, the goal being personal salvation. There is no provision in such a scheme for the interests of the State and the development of the race. Unintentionally, but none the less effectively, they are left out of account, leaving a corresponding blank in India's national character. Over this hovers, like a black cloud, another institution, the system, or rather the chaos, of caste. Its grotesque inconsistencies and bitter tyranny have gone far to make the Hindu what he is. The corrosive properties of this single institution, more than anything else whatsoever, have checked the development of India into a nation. They have made possible the spectacle of a country of nearly 300 millions of inhabitants, governed by the skill of 60,000 military and 60,000 civilian foreigners. In olden times there were four castes: the Brahman, or priestly caste; the Kshatriya, or warrior caste; the Vaiçya, or merchant and farmer caste; and the Çūdra, or servitor caste.

Such marriages are now strictly taboo. Gradually, differences of occupation, trade, and profession, and, to a considerable extent also, difference of geography, established themselves as the basis of caste distinction, until the number of castes became legion. At the present time there are nearly 2000 Brahman castes alone. According to an intelligent Hindu observer of our own day<ref>Rai Bahadur Lala Baij Nath, B.A., of the North-western Province Judicial Service, and Fellow of the University of Allahabad, in his very interesting little book, ''Hinduism, Ancient and Modern'' (Meerut, 1889), p. 9.</ref> the Sārasvata Brahmins of the Panjab alone number 469 tribes; the Kshatriyas are split up into 590; the Vaiçyas and Çūdras into even more. There is a Hindustani proverb, "eight Brahmins, nine kitchens." In the matter of food and intermarriage all castes are now completely shut off one from the other. A tailor may not, as is the custom with all other peoples, invite his neighbor, an honest shoemaker, to share his humble fare. The son of the shoemaker may not woo and wed the blooming daughter of the barber. Even a minor deviation, some new trick of trade, will at once breed a new caste. In certain parts of India fisher-folk who knit the meshes of their nets from right to left may not intermarry with them that knit from left to right.

A certain class of dairymen who make butter from unboiled milk have been excluded from the caste, and cannot marry the daughters of milkmen who churn upon more orthodox principles. Even as late a census as that of 1901 reports, and in a way gives its sanction to the Cimmerian notion that the touch of the lower caste man defiles the higher: {{blockquote/s}} While a Nayar can pollute a man of a higher cast only by touching him, people of the Kammalan group, including masons, blacksmiths, carpenters, and workers in leather, pollute at a distance of twenty-four feet, toddy drawers at thirty-six feet, Palayan or Cheruman cultivators at forty-eight feet; while in the case of the Paraiyan (Pariahs) who eat beef, the range of pollution is stated to be no less than sixty-four feet.<ref>Quoted from ''New Ideas in India,'' by the Rev. Dr. John Morrison (Edinburgh, 1906), p. 33.</ref> {{blockquote/e}} Thus Hindu society is split into infinitely small divisions, each holding itself aloof from the other, each engaged in making its exclusiveness as complete as possible. Members of a lower caste cannot rise into a higher caste; the individual is restricted to such progress only as is possible within the confines of his caste.

There is little chance for national or patriotic combination. Moreover the laws, or rather the vagaries of caste have taken largely the place of practical religion in the mind of the average Hindu who has not emancipated himself through higher philosophy. The supreme law which really concerns him in his daily life is, to eat correctly; to drink correctly; to marry correctly. The broader, more usual, dictates of religion, such as worship of the gods and ethical conduct, are not ignored, but they take a distinctly secondary place. India has at all times put the stamp of religion upon much that Europe counts as social habit, or social institution. There is not, and there seems never to have been, fixed creed in India. Hinduism has always been tolerant, liberal, latitudinarian in matters of abstract belief; tyrannous, illiberal, narrow-minded as regards such social practices as can be in any way connected with religion. Fluidity of doctrine, rigidity of practice may be regarded as the unspoken motto of Hindu religion at all times. Fortunately there are not wanting signs of a revulsion of feeling which bids fair to sweep the entire system of caste with all its incredible foolishness off the face of the earth.

The late Svāmī Vivekānanda, the brilliant representative of Hinduism at the "Parliament of Religions," held in Chicago in connection with the Universal Exposition in 1893, passed the last years of his too short life (he died in 1902) in a suburb of Calcutta, doing philanthropic work, denouncing caste and the outcasting of those who had crossed the ocean, and recommending the Hindus to take to the eating of meat. The voices of other reformers are lifting. Especially the two great native religious reform associations, the Brāhma Samāj, or Theistic Association of Bengal, and the Ārya Samāj, or Vedic Association of the United Provinces and the Panjab, different as are their aims in other respects, are marshalled on the side of opposition to caste, as an anachronism, anomaly, and bar to social and national progress. The dreadful institution of Suttee, or widow-burning abolished in 1829, under the administration of Lord William Bentinck, by decree of government; the car of Juggernaut; the sect of the Thugs; and the practice of self-hypnosis to the point of prolonged trance or apparent death, are evidences of the frenzying quality of Hindu religion, and the way it has of overshadowing individual sanity and public interest.

All this the higher Hindu religions, or rather religious philosophies, blow away as the wind does chaff. In their view such religiosity is mere illusion or ignorance, to save from which is their profession. But they can save only the illumined of mind. On the real life of India the great philosophies are merely a thin film. Anyhow they have not as yet penetrated down to the Hindu people, and we may question whether India's salvation will come that way, rather than through the growth of social and political intelligence which so gifted a people is sure, in the long run, to obtain. The student of the History of Religions has good reason to think of India as the land of religions in yet another sense. Not only has India produced out of its own mental resources many important religions and theosophic systems, but it has carried on these processes continuously, uninterrupted by distracting outside influences. The Moghul conquests in Northern India introduced Mohammedanism to a limited extent, and Mohammedanism fused with Hinduism in the hybrid religion of the Sikhs.

Their descendants, about 80,000 in number, still adhere to their ancient religion. They form one of the most esteemed, wealthy, and philanthropic communities on the west shores of India, notably in the city of Bombay. It is not of record that they had even the faintest idea that they were fleeing into the hospitable bosom of a people related by blood and language, or that the Hindus who gave them shelter knew that they were receiving their very own kin. As far as we know, the Aryan Hindus at any rate, throughout their history, are entirely unconscious of the important fact that, across the mountains to the north-west of their country, dwelt at all times a branch of their own stock – the other half of the so-called Indo-Iranians or Aryans. And yet, the languages of the Hindu Veda and the Persian Avesta, the respective bibles of the two peoples, are mere dialects of the same speech. Students regularly enter upon the study of the Avestan language through the door of the Veda. Entire passages of the Avesta may be turned into good Vedic merely by applying certain regular sound changes.

This is, in my opinion, an exaggeration, but it is significant that the statement could be made at all. The early religions and the religious institutions of the Hindus and Persians show, to be sure, far greater independence from one another than their languages, but they are, nevertheless, at the root much the same. So it has come to pass that a not at all mean part of the Vedic Pantheon and Vedic religious ideas begin before the Veda. Or, to put it even more paradoxically, Indian religion begins before its arrival in India. Yet further, beyond the common period of the Hindus and the Persians, there is a still remoter period which is not entirely closed to our view. It is the common Indo-European time, the time when the Hindus and Persians still shared their language and home with the remaining members of the same stock, the Hellenes, Italians, Celts, Teutons, and Slavs. In this altogether prehistoric time there also existed certain germs of religion, and some of these germs grew into important features of the later religions of these peoples. The religion of the Veda is indebted to this early time to an extent that is not negligible.

They must, in that case, have been saved by diligent copying and recopying. The majority of the manuscripts upon which are based our editions of Vedic texts date from recent centuries. Manuscripts that date back to the fourteenth century of our era are rare; only a very few go back to the twelfth. Here, however, enters one of the curiosities of Hindu religious life. The adherents of a certain Veda or Vedic school, no matter whether the text of that school was reduced to writing or not, must, in theory, know their texts by heart. These are the so-called Çrotriyas or "Oral Traditionalists." They live to this day, being, as it were, living manuscripts of their respective Vedas. The eminent Hindu scholar, the late Shankar Pandurang Pandit, tells us in the preface to his great Bombay edition of the Atharva-Veda how he used three of these oral reciters of the Atharva-Veda out of a total of only four that were at that time still alive in the Dekkhan; and how their oral authority proved to be quite as weighty as the written authority of his manuscripts. These living manuscripts were respectively, Messrs.

Mr. Pandit cites them by ''sigla,'' quite in the manner of inanimate manuscripts, respectively, as Bp, K, and V. They are, I believe, now all dead. We are waiting now for the time when the India Exploration Society shall step out from its existence on paper, and take hold of the shovel and the spade. With bated breath we shall then be watching to see whether great good fortune will make it possible to dig through the thick crust of centuries that are piled upon the Vedic period. If so, it will be something like the revelation of the Mycenean age that was found at the root of Hellenic civilisation. Until that time Vedic life and institutions, reported only by word of mouth, must remain an uncertain quantity. The hymns of the Veda are to a considerable degree cloudy, turgid, and mystic; taken by themselves they will never yield a clear picture of human life that fits any time or place. We have from the entire Vedic period no annals except priestly annals, or such at least as have been edited by priests. It is as though we relied upon cloister chronicles alone for our knowledge of the politics and institutions of a certain time. Or, to use an even homelier comparison, as though we had to reconstruct the social conditions of a more modern time from an intercepted boarding-school correspondence.

We do not even know exactly what a term as familiar as ''rāja'' (''rēx'') "King," meant in those early days. Was a Rāja a great potentate, or merely a tribal chieftain? We know that the early Vedic period was a cattle-raising age. The lowing of kine was lovely music to the ear of the Vedic poet. But there were also workers in metals, chariots, navigation of some kind, gold, jewels, and trade. This is all too vague, and to some extent introduces uncertain quantities into our estimation of Vedic religion. At an unknown date then, as we have had to confess reluctantly, Aryan tribes or clans (''viç''<ref>From this word is derived ''vaiçya,'' the later name of the third, or agricultural and merchant caste.</ref>) began to migrate from the Iranian highlands to the north of the Hindu-Kush Mountains into the north-west of India, the plains of the river Indus and its tributaries, the Panjab, or the land of the five streams.<ref>Professor E. W. Hopkins, ''Journal of the American Oriental Society,'' vol. xix., pp. 19-28, argues that the majority of the Vedic hymns were composed farther east than the Panjab, in the region of the modern city of Amballa, between the rivers Sarasouti and Ghuggar.</ref><noinclude></noinclude> h17yso3jfmeap704tr6d11h1o3rivx2 Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/40 104 2048121 15135969 12556138 2025-06-14T23:05:29Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15135969 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh|24|The Religion of the Veda}}</noinclude>The river Ganges, so essential to a picture of India in historical times, and even more bound up with all Western poetic fancies about India, is scarcely mentioned in the Rig-Veda. This same text is full of allusions to the struggles of the fair-skinned Aryas with the dark-skinned aborigines, the Dasyus. The struggle is likely to have been bitter. The spread of Aryan civilisation was gradual, and resulted finally in the up-building of a people whose civilisation was foreign and superior, but whose race quality was determined a good deal by the overwhelmingly large, native, dark-skinned, non-Aryan population. At the beginning of our knowledge of India we are face to face with an extensive poetical literature, in set metres. This is crude on the whole, even when compared with classical Sanskrit literature of later times. Yet, it shows, along with uncouth naïveté and semi-barbarous turgidity, a good deal of beauty and elevation of thought, and a degree of skill bordering on the professional, in the handling of language and metre. That this product was not created out of nothing on Indian soil follows from the previously mentioned close connection with the earliest product of Persian literature, the Avesta.<ref>See above, p. 13.</ref> Even the metric types of Veda and Avesta are closely related. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> nrixm2f7vxi3rwyie1c6c2xgl908b8t Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/43 104 2048124 15134451 12556141 2025-06-14T20:34:16Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15134451 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh||The Veda|27}}</noinclude>language of the Veda. It is based upon a very old popular dialect, into which the poets, to serve their own needs, have introduced many new words and speech-forms. So, for instance, the great liking of the hieratic language for verbs derived from nouns, the so-called denominative or denominal verbs, surrounds the style of the Rig-Veda with an air of turgidity and stiltedness which is far from being archaic. A hieratic poet prefers to say "give battle" (''pṛtanāyati, pṛtanyati''), rather than "fight"; "cultivate the gods" (''devayati''), rather than "be pious"; "show a kind disposition" (''sumanasyate''), rather than "be friendly," etc. A little over 1000 hymns, containing about 10,000 stanzas, equal in bulk to Homer's poems, are divided into ten ''mandalas,'' "circles," or, as we should say, books. Inside of these books the hymns are arranged according to a regular scheme: first, in the order of the number of hymns addressed to a particular god, beginning with the largest number and continuing in a descending scale. Next, each god's hymns are arranged according to the length of each single hymn, again in a descending scale. Six of these ten books (ii-vii), the so-called "family-books," form the nucleus of the collection. Each of these is supposed to have been composed by a different Rishi, poet or seer, or rather by some family of poets who would<noinclude></noinclude> nag355sh35t5vet174ka0672lio75k6 Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/44 104 2048125 15134757 12556142 2025-06-14T22:22:10Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15134757 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh|28|The Religion of the Veda}}</noinclude>fondly derive their descent from such a Rishi. The hymns themselves state this repeatedly – such and such a poet has seen<ref>That is, has had revealed to him.</ref> such and such a hymn –: the exact value of this claim is not easily estimated. The names of these traditional Rishis have a good ring in India at all times. They are in the order of Books ii-vii, Gṛtsamada, Viçvāmitra, Vāmadeva, Atri, Bharadvāja, and Vasishtha. The eighth book and the first fifty hymns of the first book are ascribed to the family of Kanva; they are marked off even superficially from the rest, because they are arranged strophically in groups of two or three stanzas. These form the bulk of those stanzas which, set to music, reappear in the Sāma-Veda. The ninth book, a kind of Bacchic collection or text-book, is addressed to the deified plant ''soma,'' and the liquor pressed from it.<ref>See below, p. 145.</ref> This ''soma'' drink furnishes by far the most precious libation to the gods.

On the whole and in the main, as we shall see, the Rig-Veda is a collection of priestly hymns addressed to the gods of the Vedic Pantheon. The chanting of these hymns is regularly accompanied by libations of the intoxicating drink called ''soma,'' and of melted butter, or ghee (''ghṛta''). The enduring interest of the Rig-Veda as literature lies in those old priestly poets' vision of the beauty, the majesty, and the power of the gods, and in the myths and legends told of them, or, more often, merely alluded to in connection with them. But the paramount importance of the Rig-Veda is after all not as literature, but as philosophy. Its mythology represents a clearer, even if not always chronologically earlier stage of thought and religious development than is to be found in any parallel literature. On one side at least it is primitive in conception, and constructive under our very eyes: how a personal god develops by personification out of a visible fact in nature (anthropomorphosis) no literary document in the world teaches as well as the Rig-Veda. The original nature of the Vedic gods, however, is not always clear, not as clear as was once fondly thought.

A crowd of priests – seventeen is the largest number – conduct an interminable ceremonial full of symbolic meaning down to its smallest minutia. The priests seat themselves on the sacrificial ground strewn with blades of sacred ''darbha''-grass, and mark out the altars on which the sacred fires are built. They handle and arrange the utensils and sacrificial substances. And then they proceed to give to the gods of the sacrifice, each his proper oblation and his proper share. Even the least and most trivial act has its stanza or formula, and every utensil is blessed with its own particular blessing. These stanzas and formulas, to which a description of the rites is more or less directly attached, make up the numerous redactions of this Veda. The Yajur-Veda is a later collection in the main, though it contains much substance that is old, old enough, indeed, to be prehistoric. But like all other Vedic collections, its redaction, at any rate, presupposes the Rig-Veda. A good many verses of the Rig-Veda reappear in the Yajur-Veda, usually not in the exact form of the Rig-Veda, but taken out of their connection, and altered and adapted to new ends which were foreign to the mind of the<noinclude></noinclude> bqkx57nla9hlpxsaz8s0bxvs6y4blew Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/49 104 2048130 15135977 12556148 2025-06-14T23:15:24Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15135977 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh||The Veda|33}}</noinclude>original composers. There are also many new verses in the Yajur-Veda which are in the main ritualistic rather than hymnal, concerned with technical details of the sacrifice rather than with the praise of the gods. But the characteristic element of this Veda are the ''yajus,'' or formulas in prose, often more or less rhythmic prose. To these this Veda owes its name. They are, by the way, unquestionably the oldest prose on record in the literatures of the Indo-European peoples. These formulas are often brief and concise, mere dedications or swift prayers, accompanying an action, and sometimes hardly addressed to any one in particular. So, for instance, "Thee for Agni" (''agnaye tvā''), or "This to Agni" (''idam agneḥ''), indicate that an object is dedicated to the god Agni. Or, "Thee for strength" is the briefest prayer, or rather magically compelling wish, that the use of a certain article may give strength to the sacrificer. But they swell out from this brevity to long solemn litanies that betray at times such a measure of good sense as may at best be expected in these doings. Often, however, they are sunk in the deepest depths of imbecility, mere verbiage intent upon silly puns on the names of the things used at the sacrifice.

The meaning of the word ''brāhmaṇa'' is not altogether clear. Either it means "holy practice," or "religious performance" in distinction from ''mantra,'' "holy utterance," or "religious text." Or, perhaps rather it means the theological explanation by Brahman priests of the religious ritual as a whole, including both prayer and performance. As regards both contents and literary quality, the Brāhmanas are closely analogous to the Hebrew Talmud. In the main they are bulky prose statements of the details of the great Vedic sacrifices, and their theological meaning. Both the performances and their explanation are treated in such a way, and spun out to such length, as to render these works on the whole monuments of tediousness and intrinsic stupidity. And yet the Brāhmanas compel the student of Hinduism that comes to scoff to stay to pray.

It seems probable that these works were recited by hermits living in the forest, or, more precisely, those who went to the forest to live, at the time when they entered the third stage of Hindu life, preparatory to final emancipation.<ref>See below, p. 288.</ref> According to another, less likely, view they are texts which were taught by teacher to pupil in the solitude of the forest, rather than in the profaner surroundings of the town or village this because the quiet of the forest harmonised better with the sanctity of their contents. In either view it is difficult to see why so much ado should have been made about them. The Āranyakas are later than the Brāhmanas; this follows from the position they occupy at the end of these texts, and from their contents.

But the themes of the Āranyakas are by no means of one sort only; on the contrary they are heterogeneous and haphazard. Thus the Taittirīya Āranyaka deals in its first book with the Ārunaketuka Agni, a particular method of building the fire-altar; its second book makes the rather astounding leap over to Brahmanical education and Veda study; its third, fourth, and fifth books deal with parts of the Vedic sacrificial ceremonial; and its sixth book describes the old Vedic funeral ceremonies (''pitṛmedha''). Still more variegated are the contents of the Aitareya Āranyaka. What governs the choice of these "forest themes" escapes our notice almost altogether. In any case these books are of lesser importance from the point of view of Vedic literature and religion, except for the following fact, which is of paramount importance: The Āranyakas are symptomatic and transitional. The important symptom, if we understand the matter aright, is the subordination of the mere act of the sacrifice to its allegorical, or, as we might say, spiritual meaning. This suppression of the material side of the ritual bridges over to the last class of texts which the Veda has to offer along this line of evolution.

In these the ritual together with every other manifestation of the religion of works is negated, sometimes by cautious and delicate innuendo, always by the inherent antagonism of the Upanishad themes. The older Upanishads are for the most part either imbedded in the Āranyakas or, more frequently, attached to the end of these texts. From very early times, therefore, they have the name Vedānta, "End of the Veda."<ref>Çvetāçvatara Upanishad 6. 22; Mundaka Upanishad 3. 2. 6.</ref> End of the Veda they are, as regards their position in the redactions of the long line of the so-called revealed (''çrauta'') texts, and as regards the time of their composition. But they are the end of the Veda in a higher sense as well. They are the texts of the Veda's highest religion and philosophy. In particular that system of Brahmanical philosophy which controls at the present time nearly all the higher thought of Brahmanical India bears the name Vedānta. And there is no important form of Hindu thought, heterodox Buddhism included, which is not rooted in the Upanishads.

It happens that ''moksha'' is the Sanskrit word for "salvation," and ''mūla'' means "root." To the Hindus his name means "Root-of-salvation," or, as we might say, with a different turn, "Salvation Müller." I do not imagine that Müller believed in the Hindu salvation, which is release from the chain of lives and deaths in the course of transmigration. But if freedom of mind partakes of the flavor of salvation, "Salvation Müller" he was. Max Müller's eminence as a scholar and writer is well known to you; less generally well understood, perhaps, is the liberalising quality of his thought, which he exercised untiringly during more than half a century. Among Europeans he was pre-eminent for the spirit of sympathy and fairness which he brought to the study and criticism of Hindu religious thought. The Persian pronunciation of the word Upanishad is Oupnekhat. It happened that the Frenchman Anquetil du Perron, the famous pioneer in the study of the Zoroastrian religion of the Parsis, was living in India in 1775. There he became interested in the Persian Oupnekhat, and later on made a Latin translation of Dārā Shukho's version. This was published in Strassburg in two volumes (vol. i. in 1801; vol. ii. in 1802). This translation proved eventful in the West.

With all due respect for these great thinkers, I believe that Sanskrit scholars in general incline to a soberer estimate of the Upanishads. With the Hindu view of revelation we need not quarrel. As to the question whether the Upanishads are inspired, we may safely intrust its decision to the broadening spirit of the conception of inspiration, which at the present time is everywhere in evidence in the world. More to the point is, that the Upanishads contain in fact no system of thought, though they did unquestionably inspire later Hindu systematic philosophy. We are often vexed with their unstable, contradictory, and partly foolish statements. The commanding thought of the Upanishads – monism, or the doctrine of unity precedes the Upanishads in the Rig-Veda; unfortunately we do not know by how many years or centuries. Above all, we cannot and should not forget that underneath Upanishad thought, as underneath all advanced Hindu thought, is found the belief in transmigration of souls, a picturesque notion which to the very end retains the quality of folk-lore, rather than the quality of philosophy.<ref>See below, p 254.</ref> But to the Hindus of the Upanishads this belief is an axiom.

Its purpose is to secure happiness and success, health and long life for man, notably the rich man, while living upon the earth; to secure to a very talented and thrifty class of priest-poets abundant rewards in return for their services in procuring for men this happiness, success, and so on; to satisfy the divine powers, visible and invisible, beneficent and noxious, gods and demons, that is, to establish livable relations between gods. and men; and, finally, to secure after death the right to share the paradise of the gods in the company of the pious fathers that have gone there before. For a generation or two since the real beginnings of the study of the Veda, say fifty years ago, and enduring more faintly to the present day, the imagination of scholars thought it saw in the hymns of the Rig-Veda the earliest spontaneous outbursts of the primitive mind, face to face with the phenomena of nature. The poets of the Rig-Veda were supposed to be simple sons of nature. Awe-struck and reverent, they were supposed to be pondering, without ulterior motive of any kind, the meaning of day and night; of dawn, sun, and moon; of sky, thunder, and lightning; of atmosphere and wind; of earth and fire.

He sees clearly enough that ''dakshiṇā'' means "sacrifice fee," and nothing else, but opines that Dawn is called ''dakshiṇā'' because she is the gift of heaven bestowed upon pious men as a recompense for their piety.<ref>''La Religion Védique,'' vol. i., p. 127 ''ff.''</ref> This is all too roundabout, and unnecessary, and un-Vedic. Still less can we assent to the statement of another very sane and enlightened critic of the Vedas, Professor Oldenberg, who declares that "the hymns to Dawn waft to us the poetry of the early morn; that they steer clear of the mystic sophistries of sacrifice technique; and that they have a charm that is wanting in the sacrificial hymns proper."<ref>''Die Religion des Veda,'' p. 237.</ref> Professor Oldenberg takes the usual view of this interesting goddess. I would advocate precisely the opposite view, namely, that the hymns to Dawn, their many intrinsic beauties to the contrary notwithstanding, represent the first, the keenest, so to speak, the least tired sacrificial mood of these poet-priests as they enter upon the absorbing business of the day; and that never has the battledoor and shuttlecock of really fine poetic<noinclude></noinclude> 1vtuahagxhc2sxaix6k6ecvhtlul40z Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/89 104 2055604 15134318 12556196 2025-06-14T19:18:26Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15134318 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh||The Hieratic Religion|73}}</noinclude>inspiration and plain self-engrossed human neediness been played so frankly and undisguisedly by poet – who must first live and afterwards compose poetry. Once more I must tax your patience and return to Dawn's epithet ''dakshiṇā,'' or "baksheesh." In Rig-Veda 3. 58. 1 Dawn, under the name of Dakshinā is called the Daughter of Heaven, and Agni, the God of Fire, is called the Son of Dakshinā. What is really meant is, that Agni is the son of Dawn. We have here a double ritual touch which becomes clear only through deep sympathy with the economy of the sacrifice. Why should Agni, "Fire," be the son of Dawn? Is it that Dawn means "light," and light is fire? That would be the far-fetched poetic derivation; I wish to accuse no scholar of having made it. Poetically we think of fire especially as an evening phenomenon, not as a phenomenon of the sober morning. I doubt whether the farmer, as he splits kindling for the breakfast fire of a cold winter morning, cheers himself with the poetic thought that the breakfast fire is the son of Dawn. Our farmers are not temperamentally inclined that way. But it is another matter with the sacrificer who must beautify and beatify all his acts, and throw into them a dash of cajolery. The fact is that the god Agni is also a prized and much extolled divinity of the morning, because the first act of the<noinclude></noinclude> odc6gyhprdvitaaqlk0j0x24gyzxawx Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/91 104 2055606 15134245 12556198 2025-06-14T18:16:49Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15134245 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh||The Hieratic Religion|75}}</noinclude>acknowledge that never has sacrifice had such genuine poetry to serve it. But the reverse of the coin is, that never has poetic endowment strayed so far from wholesome theme as to fritter itself away upon the ancient hocus-pocus of the fire-priest and medicine-man. Of course, what finally saves this poetry from banality is the presence in it of those same luminous gods whose brilliance is obscured but not extinguished by such childish treatment. We are now better prepared to bear up under the statement that Vedic religion is from the very first moment practical and utilitarian, and that the Vedic people, to begin with, practise their religion for what there is in it. The Rig-Veda with its worship of the great nature-gods represents from the start a form of worship very similar, though apparently neither as extensive nor as formal and rigid as the later technical ritual of the Yajur-Vedas and the Brāhmanas. The poetry of the Rig-Veda is in the main also really dull and mechanical, but we have seen that, in good part, it is leavened by true beauty of conception, fineness of observation, and all the circumstances of literary composition which we of modern times are accustomed to see at work with its eyes shut – or half shut – to practical considerations.

A great diplomatist, upon whom depends the destiny of his country, may be shrewd, unscrupulous, Machiavellian, velvet as to glove, iron as to hand, and yet be a real patriot. Even so a priestly religion of works, trivial as these works may appear to our eyes, does not shut out spiritual elevation. Nor does practical poetry shut out entirely the more silent workings of literary taste and poetic inspiration. The Vedic poets themselves insist upon it, their poems are "well-hewn," "well-fashioned as a war-chariot from the hands of a skilled artisan." And so they are in many cases: if we cut out the foolish sacrifice, and pare down a pretty thick crust of conventionalism, there is left in the Vedic hymns enough of beauty and character to secure them a place in the world's literature.

Even to this day only rich Brahmanical Hindus are in the position to perform Vedic sacrifices. So it was in olden times. The popular religion, the religion of the poor, or of the modest householder, with its humble rites, and its even more childish reliance upon sorcery and the medicine-man, runs from the start side by side with the hieratic religion. It is the religion of the Atharva-Veda and the so-called "House-books."<ref>See above p. 41.</ref> It happens to lie outside of the scope of these lectures, though I have for my part been drawn on by its simple yet tense humanity to the publication of several volumes.<ref>For general information on this literature see my book ''The Atharva-Veda'' (Strassburg, 1899).</ref> The religion of the Rig-Veda presupposes an established household of considerable extent; a wealthy and liberal householder; elaborate and expensive materials; and many priests not at all shamefaced about their fees.

The ''soma'' drink is pressed three times daily: morning, noon, and evening. The gods of the Vedic Pantheon are all interested in these ceremonies; each has a fairly definite share in them. Indra, the god who figures more frequently than any other, has part in all three pressings; but the mid-day pressing belongs to him exclusively. Ushas, the Maiden Dawn, and Agni, God Fire, play, as we have seen, a very important part in the morning. The Ādityas<ref>See below, p. 129.</ref> and Ribhus, the latter a sort of clever-handed elves, appear upon the scene in the evening. A host of hymns are addressed to pairs of divinities whose coupling is not always based upon any special natural affinity between them, but upon purely liturgic association: Indra and Agni, Indra and Varuna, Agni and Soma, and so on. One important class of hymns, the so-called ''āprī''-hymns, that is, "songs of invitation," consist of individual stanzas which invoke certain divinities and personifications of acts and utensils, preliminary to the sacrifice of cattle at the ''soma'' rites.<ref>See Max Müller, ''History of Ancient Sanskrit Literature,'' p. 463 ''ff''; Roth, ''Yāska's Nirukta,'' p. xxxvi ''ff''; Weber, ''Indische Studien,'' x. 89 ''ff''; Grassmann, ''Translation of the Rig-Veda,'' vol. i., p. 6; Bergaigne, ''Journal Asiatique,'' 1879, p. 17.</ref> God Fire (Agni) is especially called upon under different,<noinclude></noinclude> 05anxkvsu10s9tdcci3le6g7x10rm1h Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/95 104 2055610 15134271 12556202 2025-06-14T18:50:00Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15134271 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh||The Hieratic Religion|79}}</noinclude>partly mystic designations; of sacrificial articles, the sacred straw upon which the priests are seated, the doors of the enclosure within which the offering takes place, and the sacrificial post to which the animal is tied have a stanza each in every one of the ten ''āprī''-hymns.

Large numbers of technical, ritualistic words and expressions crowd the pages of the Rig-Veda. Its metres are finished and conventional to a very high degree; they are also, to some extent, distributed among the gods, so that a given metre is associated especially with a certain god. For instance, the ''gāyatrī'' is the metre of the god Agni; the ''trishtubh'' the metre of the god Indra. They are also distributed to some extent according to the time of the day: the ''gāyatrī'' in the morning, the ''trishtubh'' at noon, the ''jagatī'' at evening. Above all, the advanced character of the Rig-Veda's ritual manifests itself in the large number of different designations for priests. These occur not only singly, but in series: the names of these priests are largely, though not entirely, the names of the priests of the later ceremonial.<ref>See Hillebrandt, ''Rituallitteratur,'' p. 11 ''ff,'' and the literature cited on p. 17 of the same work.</ref> And yet the poetry of the Rig-Veda is, in a deeper sense, original.

To treat sacrificial themes in the high poetic way seems to most of us hollow mockery. But we must not forget that such performances, to some extent, continue the pious ways of the fathers; that the acts in part symbolise real religious feeling; and that most religions have a trick of throwing a poetic and sentimental glamor around practices that are trivial intrinsically. Then the difference of standards in a semi-barbarous time, such as the time of the Rig-Veda, must count for something. After all that I have said to forefend what may be called a padded or swollen estimate of Rig-Veda poetry and religion, both the poetry and the religion are of singular interest and importance. In its essence the Rig-Veda is not liturgy but mythology. Its priest-poets, in their heart of hearts, are not mere technicians, but tense observers of the great facts and acts of nature, and worshippers of the powers whom they fancy at work in nature. In fact they are both poets and philosophers. There is in this matter some real cause for surprise. We must not forget the long, almost indefinite past of Hindu mythology and religion.

There was plenty of time for all nature-worship to have stiffened into mere admiration, fear, and adulation of personal gods, accompanied inevitably by a more or less complete forgetfulness of the forces in nature from which sprang the gods. That this was not so is due, in my opinion, to the vast impressiveness of India's nature. Its fiercely glowing sun, its terrible yet life-giving monsoons, the snow-mountain giants of the north, and its bewilderingly profuse vegetation could hardly fail to keep obtruding themselves as a revelation of the powers of the already existing gods. What is still more important, it could hardly fail to stimulate the creation of new nature-gods to a degree unknown elsewhere. It is this unforgetting adherence to nature that has made the Vedic hymns the training-school of the Science of Mythology, and to a large extent also of the Science of Religion. Deprived of the hymns of the Rig-Veda, we should hardly know to this day that mythology is the first and fundamental adjustment of the individual human life to the outer active, interfering, dynamic world, which surrounds and influences man from the moment when he opens his eyes upon the wonders of its unexplained phenomena. In this sense Vedic mythology is in its day what empirical science is in our day. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> kyuxylcdn1a7p1hko85lnp7t1s2x4na Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/99 104 2055614 15134286 12556207 2025-06-14T18:57:31Z 8582e 2903218 15134286 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Srkris" />{{rh||The Hieratic Religion|83}}</noinclude>We can realise this to some extent by calling up another mythology, that of the Greeks. This is also based upon nature, but nature is soon forgotten, or, if not entirely forgotten, much obscured by after-born movements. Owing to a curious slip, fortunate from the artistic side, unfortunate from the religious and mythical side, Greek mythology fell too completely into the hands of the people. Poets, artists, and even philosophers handle it, each in their own way. But there is a notable absence of those Rishis of the Veda who, with all their too human sordidness and all their Hindu fancifulness see the great realities of the world with their eyes wide open, and work their way slowly but with secure touch from the single and separate manifesta- tions of nature in the Rig-Veda to the absolute One Being which is nature as a whole, that is the idea of unity as finally settled in the Upanishads. The finest flower of Greek mythology, great Zeus, of whom Hesiod says, πάντα ἰδὼν ὀφθαλμὸς καὶ πάντα νοήσας, "The eye of Zeus which sees all and knows all," or of whom the old Orphic hymn sings, Ζεὺς ἀρχή, Ζεὺς μέσσα, Διὸς δ' ἐκ πάντα τέτυκται, "Zeus is the beginning, Zeus is the middle, on Zeus all is founded," is at the same time the flippant, breezy Jove to whom the poets ascribe foibles and vices barely excusable in a modern bon-vivant<noinclude></noinclude> 7po44bam2t72yhrx9s25ka0lax455o3 Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/100 104 2055615 15134305 12556208 2025-06-14T19:10:55Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15134305 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh|84|The Religion of the Veda}}</noinclude>and man about town. Too finished personification causes the break-down of Greek mythology even from the artistic side. The same poets in whom we praise above all aversion to everything excessive or monstrous, those Greek poets who in general fancy and say just enough, but not too much, run a close race with the most extravagant fancies of semi-civilised peoples in the description of their primeval gods. Uranos was maimed by his own son, Kronos; Kronos, the unnatural son, is also an unnatural father. For he swallows his own children, and, after years of tentative but unsuccessful digestion, vomits forth the whole brood. Fair Phoebus Apollo hangs Marsyas on a tree and flays him alive. Homicide without end, parricide and murder of children are the stock events of their mythology. No wonder that Plato banished even the Homeric poems from his ideal republic. And Epicurus had to say: "The gods are indeed, but they are not as many believe them to be. Not he is an infidel who denies the gods of the many, but he that fastens upon the gods the opinions of the many." Nothing so much as the complete humanisation of Greek mythology paved the way for the rapid spread of that Shemitic religion, deeply ethical in its teachings, Judaeo-Christianity, among the Indo-European peoples.

The real rivals of Christianity in the centuries after Christ were Persian forms of religion: Mithraism and Manicheism. Of Mithraism Ernest Renan once said that if the world had not been Christianised it would have been Mithraised; and Manicheism, dualistic, exhaustively Gnostic, with its superb colouring and its appealing asceticism, proved for a time an even more dangerous rival of Christianity. We know from the history of the later classical Sanskrit literature that India's climate and physiography have kept her poets in touch with nature to a degree unknown elsewhere, until we come to the modern nature poets. Even so, the transparency of the Vedic Pantheon as a whole remains surprising. This results in what we may call arrested personification, or arrested anthropomorphism, and this is the very genius of Vedic religion, and more especially of the religion of the Rig-Veda.

Our own course, doubtless open to some objection, will be eclectic. We shall call up the more important Vedic gods under such various points of view as will bring out some one salient quality – which does not say that they may not have other qualities of great interest. Thus the chronological element must remain immensely important. The chronology of the gods must influence to some extent our judgment of this ancient religion of the Veda. The old prehistoric gods that have been imported by the Aryas into India, no matter how much they have been Hinduised, will necessarily have characteristics of their own. Next come the gods which have been coined in hot haste out of the phenomena of nature in a glowing subtropical climate, or have been imbued anew with the vitality of India's imposing nature. These have not had time to forget their own origin – they are, as I have called them, the gods of arrested personification or arrested anthropomorphism. They are the beacon lights of Vedic religion, of Comparative Mythology, and of the Science of Religion. They are the rare guides and philosophers on this labyrinthine and rocky road; they have made the Veda the training-school of the study of religion.

Again, it is still as true as ever that a large number of the gods, whether early or late, are nature-gods whose origin, we regret to say, has been somewhat obscured by later processes. They again make up for the student of the Veda a class, the most important as well as the most difficult theme of investigation. Every nation's mythology must contain gods of this class. They bring with them problems that will never be dismissed until they are finally answered – and that, paradoxically, may never be, I have in mind gods like Varuna, Indra, and the Açvins. To some Vedic scholars it seems without doubt begging the question to speak of nature-gods in cases when we do not know for certain what was the natural object that was personified. No one can say at this time that the origin of either Varuna, Indra, or the Açvins has been definitely settled. Yet, for my part I confess to that faith, because I remember that such uncertainty represents in truth the normal result of mythologic development. As a rule, a nature-god does not remain transparent for ever: the opposite happens far more frequently, as may be seen, again and again, in Hellenic or Teutonic mythology. Really durable myths are, as a rule, mixed myths, and, therefore, more or less obscure myths.

In the long run prehistoric reconstructions, inferences, analogics, and guesses do not find favor with certain types of mind. Of course, it is safer to restrict one's self; to analyse and describe the history of each Indo-European people by itself; and to refrain from speculating about their connection in a remote past. Is it not better to stay at home, each trained scholar in his own philology, rather than to ride out towards points on the broad and dim horizon which bounds the more or less hypothetical Indo-European community, to chase after something that may turn out to be a mirage? So it has transpired that what bid fair once upon a time to grow into an important branch of historical science is now by some ignored, if not pooh-poohed. The writings of many great scholars during the last fifty years or more are now declared by some to be ready to be wiped off the slate. It is but fair to note that the same critics who are sceptical about Comparative Mythology are, as a rule, inclined also to doubt the explanations of myths that are restricted to a single people. It seems to be a matter of temperament, this dislike to search after origins, after final explanations, after resolving chords, as it were. Here also they prefer to treat a myth at its face value, as story, fancy, poem, and nothing more.

The difficulties which have beset Comparative Mythology are of various sorts: First, the unquestionable delicacy, clear to the point of fragility, of prehistoric materials. Next, the imagination of scholars who incline to such studies is prone, by the very terms of its existence, to be a little excessive. The first results of the science were so striking and fascinating that its development went on too fast, its conclusions became too hasty. May the shades of Theodor Benfey, Adalbert Kuhn, and Max Müller pardon me if I say that their almost poetic genius did at times take flight from the firm earth into sheer cloudland – "where birds can no longer fly." Unquestionably they did compare some mythological names because of the faintest and shakiest phonetic resemblances. Intuitive fanciful explanations of the most complicated myths do to some extent masquerade as scientific results in their writings, and in the writings of the school that grew up mushroom-like about them. A science based upon vague and general resemblances of both things and words could not be otherwise than faulty both as to its details and its philosophic generalizations.

Does not the entire subject of the origin and development of religions belong to Ethnology rather than Philology? For instance, the Indo-Europeans make much of the worship of the sun as a supreme being. But so do the Iroquois Indians, and many other savage or semi-barbarous peoples. It is indeed true, and it is an important truth, that the human race, endowed as it is essentially alike, is liable anywhere and at any time to incorporate in its beliefs this most imposing and deifiable visible object in all nature, the sun, the source of light and heat, seasons and vegetation. This is the simple ethnological fact. The fact in Indo-European Comparative Mythology is a different one: it is a historical fact. In the early period of each Indo-European people heaven, its agents and powers, including of course the sun, were, as we know on excellent authority, worshipped or deified. We are therefore to-day, as formerly, securely intrenched in the conviction that the worship of heaven and the visible heavenly phenomena, more or less personalised, did in fact form the common kernel of Indo-European religion. Now do I fail to see what the beliefs of other peoples, not Indo-European, along the same line, have to do with this particular case, except to show that the Indo-Europeans were<noinclude></noinclude> qsaibc7hxc666ksxmubfvx6njx8bmc0 Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/121 104 2055636 15136122 12556231 2025-06-15T01:24:34Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15136122 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh||The Prehistoric Gods|105}}</noinclude>rational beings, and that all the rest of the peoples who worship the sun are, from their primitive point of view, also rational beings. I have devoted of recent years considerable effort to the statement and explanation of the myth of Cerberus, the dog of Hades. The Veda has two Cerberi, who are said to belong to King Yama. Yama was the first royal man who started the practice of dying. He then went aloft to heaven, and found there, once for all, a choice place where the sons of man might disport themselves after death. There he rules as Yama, the King of Paradise. The Vedic texts look upon this pair of dogs in a variety of ways. First, the soul of man has to get past them in order to get to heaven. This is the familiar Cerberus idea. Secondly, the two dogs of Yama pick out daily candidates for death. Thirdly, the dogs are entrusted with the care of the souls of the dead on their way to join Yama in heaven. Now we might almost ask with the riddle: "What is it?" I wonder whether there is not present in this audience some ingenious man or woman who can guess what real pair in nature on the way to heaven, coursing like dogs across the heaven, can harmonise these discrepant points of view. But we are not left to guess.

Now the word for speckled is ''çabalas;'' it fits in well enough with Greek ''Κέρβερος,'' considering the susceptibility of mythic proper names to the kind of modulation, or sophistication, which we call popular etymology. But we may disregard the verbal etymology altogether. Other Indo-European peoples have more or less definite notions about one or two dogs. It is more than probable that the early notions of future life turned to the visible heaven with its sun and moon, rather than the topographically unstable and elusive caves and gullies that lead, in the unquestionably late Greek fancy, to a wide-gated Hades. I cannot here afford the time that would be required to the full exposition of this myth, and would refer you to my little book, ''Cerberus, the Dog of Hades: The History of an Idea,'' published in 1905, which I regard as my program of method in the study of Comparative Mythology. Now, to be sure, we find that other peoples, not Indo-European, here and there, own a dog who gets in the way of the soul on its way to heaven. Obviously, the conception may have arisen independently in the same way: the dead journeying upward to heaven, but interfered with by a coursing heavenly body, the sun or the moon, or both.

No sane scholar will now, as was once the habit, try to make each of the silly "stunts" which the Vedic hymns ascribe to the Açvins part of the organic matter contained in the myth. They are mostly later fancy. And even after deducting the crudities of past interpreters we must not quarrel with certain mental reservations as to this and that detail.

In brief, once more, there are two luminous sons of heaven, conceived as horsemen, and as helpers of men in all kinds of sore straits. They are in loving relation with another, feminine, heavenly divinity conceived as a "Sun-Maiden," or "Daughter of the Sun." This relation is crossed by another affair between the "Sun-Maiden" and the Moon. To conceptions of this sort the Indo-Europeans, before their separation into the peoples of historical times, had advanced. The changes and additions to the myth are not surprising; surprising is, that the myth should have retained its chief features during great periods of time, in very various surroundings, and under the constant pressure of a flood of remodelling ideas poured out upon it by the fertile mind of man, and tending constantly to obliterate the more primitive and simple fancies.

I have endeavored to give a conservative estimate of the varying interpretations, as free from fanciful exaggeration of the probabilities as it is from unwholesome scepticism. We may now turn to the second great sphere of Indo-Iranian mythology. It deals with the first men and sacrificers, and the ''soma''-liquor, the most distinguished sacrifice to the gods. One of the duties of primitive man as he grows into the irksome habit of looking for the reason of things is to find a reason for himself. He does not take himself for granted, but assumes that he originated from something or other. This is as a rule not as easy as it is in the myth of Deucalion. All that he had to do was to throw stones, the bones of Mother Earth, behind him, and, behold, there were men. The abstract benevolent Divinity turning himself into a creative Father God is not always at hand; he does not on the whole represent a very primitive form of thought, certainly not in India. An important and widespread conception, partly religious in character, is Totemism. This is founded on the belief that the human race, or, more frequently, that given clans and families derive their descent from animals: totemic names like "Bear" and "Wolf" carry traces of this sort of belief into our time.

From a later time, yet still a very early time, namely, the Indo-Iranian period, comes the Vedic myth of Yama, the son of Vivasvant. This myth is the clearest and best-preserved common piece of property of the two religions. As to the component ideas of this myth I see no room for doubt. Yama means "twin." He is the male of the obligatory twin pair that is required to people the world in real earnest. The female Yamī, little as is said about her in the earlier parts of the myth, plays Eve to Yama's<noinclude></noinclude> 0x3p3ml9ltfib0oaj3r1c14hn98sb0z Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/158 104 2055673 15136001 8396257 2025-06-14T23:43:41Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15136001 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh|142|The Religion of the Veda}}</noinclude>in marriage to the whole world of gods and mortals. The suitor who gains favor is Vivasvant, conceived as a mortal. Saranyū, barely wedded, is displeased with Vivasvant and flees; not, however, until she had given birth to the twins Yama and Yamī. This marriage, you perceive, provides the twins with a mother, whereas they have previously had only a father. In order to make sure her escape, she changes into a mare and flees to the gods, who hide her away from her mortal family, Vivasvant, Yama, and Yamī. The gods, in order to make matters still more safe, construct another female, called Savarnã, who is to take Saranyū's place in Vivasvant's affections. The word ''savarṇā'' means "of like character"; it trickily states that the new female was at one and the same time like Saranyū in appearance, and also suitable in character to the mortal Vivasvant – more suitable than the divine Saranyū, we may perhaps understand. Vivasvant begets Manu with the Savarnā, and thus Manu comes into possession both of a father and mother. Ultimately Vivasvant finds out the deception practised upon him, follows Saranyū in the shape of a horse,<ref>''Cf.'' the classical Pasiphaë myth.</ref> and thus gaining her favor, begets with her the Açvins, "the Horsemen" or Dioscuri.

The final outcome of these mythic entanglements are two progenitors of the human race: Yama the son of Vivasvant, and Manu the son of Vivasvant. They remind us in a way of Adam and Noah, especially as Manu is the hero of the Hindu flood-legend, which is astonishingly like the account of the book of Genesis. Vivasvant and his double progeny all of them are endowed for a good while with purely human qualities. According as the profane or sacred interest preponderates these first, and, of course, great men become kings or great sacrificers of yore. Manu is the typical first sacrificer. The later sacrificer of the time of the Veda, as he performs on his sacrificial place, fancies himself a Manu, doing like Manu (''manuṣvat''), in the house of Manu. In the Avesta Vīvanhvant is the first mortal who pressed the drink ''haoma'' (''soma'') in behalf of the corporeal world. His son Yima and his descendants continued to do so, but Yima turns rather into a worldly ruler, the king of a golden age, in which there is nor old age nor death; nor heat nor cold; nor want nor disease. He becomes the leading Epic personality in later Persian times.

The myth takes another, even more important turn in the Veda. Yama is the first mortal king who died and found for the race of men a heaven where they may rejoice in the company of the pious dead, especially those pious archpriests of mythical antiquity, the Angiras. He is the first of mortals who died and went forth to this heaven:<ref>Atharva-Veda 18. 3. 13.</ref> "Where is Vivasvant's son, the king, where is heaven's firm abode, where are yonder flowing waters, there let me live immortal."<ref>Rig-Veda 9. 113. 8.</ref> "He (Yama) went before and found a dwelling from which no power can shut us out. Our fathers of old have travelled the path: it leads every earth-born mortal thither. There, in the midst of the highest heaven, beams unfading light, and eternal waters flow; there every wish is fulfilled on the rich meadows of Yama."

He is the theme of more than two hundred hymns, and owes his special prominence to the personification of the sacred fire which is present at all Vedic performances. In the hieratic (in distinction from the popular) hymns of the Rig-Veda there will be few cases in which Agni is not more or less directly connected with the sacrifice. And it is well now to take this simple article, the sacrifice fire, and let it unfold its own story step by step. How it turns in the hands of these priestly poets into a person gifted with the thinly disguised qualities of fire; into a messenger mediating between men and gods; into an archpriest typical of holy rites; and finally into a god.

The pronounced ritualist quality of the poetry of the Rig-Veda fixes Agni as a divinity of the morning, rather than of the night. Interpretations of Rig-Veda passages which involve reference to something like the cosy family hearth, the tea-kettle simmering, the wind soughing outside, are generally moonshine. Nor is his definite association with the morning just what we should expect it to be from our point of view; no suggestion, perchance, of the merry dairy-maid milking the cows, or the housewife busy with a comfortable breakfast. Familiar, home-life touches are not absent altogether even in the Rig-Veda; they are more abundant in the "House-books" (Gṛhya-Sūtras). But in the main Agni is cosmic and ritualistic, and little else. He dispels the darkness, destroys the demons of night.

A very neat story which, as usual, remains one of the stock themes of story-telling India in later times, tells in two hymns of the Rig-Veda<ref>10. 51 and 52.</ref> how Agni on a certain occasion tired of this service. Agni has it born in upon him that his older brothers have worn themselves out in their job, and concludes that he had better dodge a like fate. Whereupon he escapes into the waters. But the god Yama discovers and betrays him, and Varuna, as the spokesman of the gods, finally induces him for a consideration to resume the task of expediting the sacrifice to the gods.<ref>For other later tales of Agni lost and found again see the Mahābhārata legends in Holtzmann, ''Agni nach den Vorstellungen des Mahābhārata,'' p. 12 ''ff.''</ref> The names which he obtains in this capacity, such as "oblation-eater" and "oblation-carrier,"<ref>''Hutāça, hutāçana, hutabhuj, havyabhaksha,'' etc.; ''hutavaha, havyavah, havyavāhana,'' etc.</ref> reappear familiarly in the Mahābhārata and later.

He thus becomes familiar with the roads that connect heaven and earth, and becomes the regular messenger between the two. In this capacity he is associated with the Angiras, a race of mythic semi-divine priests whose name seems to be identical with Greek ''ἄγγελος'' (angel), "messenger." They also mediate between gods and men, and naturally Agni is an Angiras, the first seer Angiras, the ancient Angiras, the most inspired of the Angiras. Agni officiates at the sacrifice and becomes the divine counterpart of the earthly priesthood: house-priest, serving-priest, and priest in general, as states the very first stanza of the Rig-Veda. As such he also inspires, or invents the brilliant speech and thought of prayer, and, what is very important, he frees from sin. For the sacrifice, of course, is the staple means of conciliating the gods when they are supposed to be angry. The idea of priesthood blends with that of seer and sage. He is so expert and well-travelled as to assume in a very pronounced sense the qualities of omniscience and omnipresence.<ref>''Cf.''

And what I have deduced here in detail is true of all of Agni's traits in the Veda; he is at one moment element and phenomenon, at another person and god, at all times as clear as his own light to teach the nature of the gods. I have used the term transparent in connection with divine personifications whose naturalistic basis and whose starting point in human consciousness is absolutely clear. Now the term translucent, figure of speech though it is, I wish to be understood in its plain physical sense. It refers to mythic formations whose structural outline may still be traced with a great deal of truth, although it is obscured by incrustations of secondary matter. It is often merely the loss of the original simple name which is the cause of the obscuration. Divinities of the name "Dawn" (Ushas), "Sun" (Sūrya), or "Fire" (Agni), bring credentials that every one can read.

An unusually unsympathetic sceptic will not find it hard to rest his feet upon some projecting ledge of doubt, and all history cries out that we must not try to dislodge sceptics by violence. Every middle-aged student of Comparative Mythology and Comparative Philology recalls the time when even the most complex myths were blandly explained as nature processes; nothing in that line could be too fanciful and far-fetched to find adherents. No cock might crow in a fairy-tale without becoming party to an involved and profound sun-myth. We have all sobered much; there is now, perhaps, too much insistence upon the element of uncertainty which goes with the term "probable," no matter how closely the probable may approach certainty. Tho two Açvins, the Dioscuri, are translucent gods. They harbor some phenomenon of morning light as one part of their dual character. The other is probably the corresponding phenomenon at eve. But just what this duality is we were unable to say.<ref>See above, p. 116.</ref> It is something to have limited this brilliant Indo-European myth so far, and to find behind it reason rather than idle fancy.

Vishnu represents the sun in his ascent from the horizon of the earth, through the atmosphere to the zenith, considered as the solar paradise. His swift climb over the back of the universe through the cosmic triad justly arrested the fancy of the poets, and they name him accordingly. Instead of holding to the proper name of the sun, or to his more familiar functions of giver of light and life, they express in the name Vishnu, and in the fancies connected with it the sufficiently remarkable fact that his ascent from earth to the paradisiacal zenith involves but three stations: earth, atmosphere, and heaven.

In a later time Vishnu is elevated to the highest place; he is one of the so-called Hindu Trinity. To the end he remains the Vishnu of the solar paradise to whom go the spirits of the departed pious. But at the same time he represents to his sectarian worshippers the pantheistic Brahma, or "all-soul," with which the soul of man is ultimately destined to unite. I choose as the second example of a translucent god, the shepherd god Pūshan. His chief claim to usefulness is that he knows the roadways; protects from their dangers, such as wolves and robbers; guards cattle, so that they be not dashed to pieces in the ravine; brings them home unhurt when they have gone astray; and, in general, restores lost things. Pūshan personally drives the cows to pasture; he weaves the sheeps' dresses, and smoothes their coats; he carries a goad, and his car is drawn by goats. And seeing that he lives on mush or gruel, whereas the other gods revel in ''soma'' or ghee, his bucolic nature is pretty clear.

To the growingly finer religious thought of the later Veda Indra contributes nothing positive. Negatively, the coarse grain and the fleshliness of his character which, taken all in all, are foreign to the gods of the Vedic Pantheon, arrest very unfavorable attention. Indra is so grossly anthropomorphic, that is, he embodies so completely the human qualities of brag and bluster, gluttony, drunkenness, and lust, as to make him the peg upon which to hang scepticism. In that way he contributes negatively to the advance of Hindu thought. Of this later on. This god has remained opaque to the eye of Vedic study. He is not wanting in superlative cosmic qualities. In fact the poets never, unless except perhaps in the case of Varuna, come nearer biting off more than they can chew, than when engaged in lauding Indra. He has no counterpart among those born or to be born. No one, celestial or terrestrial, has been born, or shall be born, like unto him.

Frantically emphatic prayer; imprecation of the man who is praying at the same time; and naughty tricks of various sorts show us under this aspect the whole world of praying and sacrificing men engaged in a sort of universal game of tag: the hindmost is "it." The Vedic Hindus have made a sad botch of this matter. I am glad to say that this particular crudity passes out at the end of the Vedic period with the slow "twilight of the gods" which shifts the interest from polytheism, myth, and sacrifice to the theosophic speculations of the Upanishads. When the personal gods emerge again in later Hinduism, they are much clarified; at least the risky question about their presence in many places at one and the same time, and the equitable distribution of their favors is, as far as I know, never asked again.

He startles his father by asking: "To whom wilt thou give me?" The father replies: "To death" – we can imagine the formula that would come from the lips of a modern fond father, if his son were to ask him a question so very awkward.

If my hearers shall ask now what, after all this, is the essence of Rig-Vedic religion, I am for my part not unready to answer in accordance with hints thrown out before. It is poetry, or rather, more precisely, poetic exaltation, or the pride and joy of poetic creativeness. This is at first conceived to be favored and promoted by the gods, because they get the fruit of it in the form of praise and flattery. The finer the frenzy of the poet and the more finished the product of his art, the better pleased are the gods. Therefore the gods, next, co-operate with the poets, promoting their devotion and its expression. Finally, these twin factors of devoted fervor and its successful utterance in hymns and stanzas create sensations of satisfaction which are easily taken for sanctification. At first the article is not very genuine. But it goes on being the receptacle of better thoughts until it grows into what we may consider real religious feeling. To some extent we can test this statement by showing what the religious feeling of the Veda is not, rather than what it is.

I have taken pains to show how constantly present is this external side of their religion: may the religion that is free from all external considerations, the religion from which is absent every form of safe-guarding self, throw the first stone. The contemplation of the glory of the gods as a matter of intellectual wonder is expressed times without end. It does not seem to me to have quite the true ring. It is perfunctory; it is told by rote. God after god steps into line and gets it. They each in turn establish the heavens and the earth; they start the sun on his course, almost indifferently well. Perhaps, as I have hinted before, their rotation in the ritual, rather than forgetfulness of the virtues of the preceding god, is the truth at the bottom of this kathenotheism or henotheism, as Max Müller called it. It is polytheism grown cold in service, and unnice in its distinctions, leading to an opportunist monotheism in which every god takes hold of the sceptre and none keeps it. Anyhow it is very mechanical.

Sometimes they are really carried away by it. But I do not believe that either the greatness and majesty, or the incomprehensibleness of the gods, have produced a permanent impression of their superiority and perfection which should permit us to speak of settled intellectual religious consciousness in the Rig-Veda. Most conspicuously there is no sentimental relation of any great depth between gods and men, and therefore no piety in the higher sense of the word. I mean piety that is not mere emotional self-excitement, but reasonable and settled reverence of tried and true gods. As a matter of fact the gods are good, and, at least in a general way, they are just also. In India, as we have seen, the gods have in charge especially the order of the world, and that is at the proper time, to the advantage of the suppliant mortal. Conversely, and especially, god Varuna stands ready to punish the wrong-doer. The poets sometimes describe Varuna's power, and the sense of their own unworthiness or sinfulness in language that reminds us of the Psalmist. Varuna, however, is no longer pre-eminent even in the Rig-Veda: he has left no really lasting impression on India's religions. If Varuna had prevailed India would have become monotheistic and theocratic, which it never did. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> trplz89cd8bm45h0e3j3kp3hj78laei Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/217 104 2055733 15134395 8396321 2025-06-14T19:56:25Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15134395 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh||Religious Conceptions and Feeling|201}}</noinclude>Occasionally a start is made towards a warmly glowing relation of love and confidence; the singer in need of help trusts that the god will help him. But there is no permanent, clarified, unselfish love of the gods such as overrides the experience of their instability, such as lives down the melancholy fact that they do not always help. And we have seen what faith is in the Veda: it is the faith that manifests itself in works. The Vedic poets are trained "master-singers." Such poets are not likely to penetrate far into the soul of man. There is no real warmth or depth, no passionate indistinct feeling, no unsatisfied longing which can be made hopefully endurable, or even pleasurable and exalting, through the mystery of a relationship with perfect beings, understood by each individual soul in its own way. Anything like a contemplative, trustful joy in the perfection of the gods comes much later: it is of the Bhagavadgītā, rather than the Rig-Veda. But these master-singers do believe in their own art; in their wonderful poetry, and in the exaltation of mind which goes with its composition. The gods accept both the poetry and the devout mind at the value put upon them by the poets; the poets are serenely certain that the gods are well satisfied.<ref>"Like (a cow) her calf so do the poets lick (the gods) with their prayers," says Rig-Veda 10. 123. 1.</ref> This<noinclude></noinclude> 8zhj2tk28g6wahebf7w26ojic1rgc00 Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/218 104 2055734 15134409 8396322 2025-06-14T20:04:49Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15134409 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh|202|The Religion of the Veda}}</noinclude>then is the state of mind that approaches genuine and lasting religious feeling in the Rig-Veda; belief in the beauty and fitness of those glittering, rhythmical, and assonant stanzas; genuine rapture over the excited, throbbing mind, while the glow of composition is upon the poet. The poet calls himself ''vipra,'' "inspired"; calls his compositions ''vipaḥ,'' "inspirations"; and when he composes, ''vepate matī,'' "he is inspired in his mind."

Another time a poet of the family of Kanva sings<ref>Rig-Veda 8. 6. 11; ''cf.'' 8. 44. 12; 8. 76. 6.</ref>: "In the spirit of the olden times do I dress out my songs like (the poet) Kanva, through which (god) Indra gets his fiery strength." Or again: "(Hear), O Indra, him that hath produced for thee a new and lovely song, with comprehending mind a pious song such as of yore has strengthened the divine order of the universe."<ref>Rig-Veda 8. 95. 5.</ref> In more confident or ecstatic temper, the poets often declare that they have produced new songs of praise, and that, in their opinion, these are first-rate songs. One poet recommends his "new, beautiful song of praise, that comes from the heart;" another exclaims: "I bring forward my word, the new, the fresh-born." With all due respect to their predecessors this pretty nearly amounts to saying that the new hymns are just as good as the old, in addition to having the charm of novelty.

If we consider that the theme is the worship of unclarified polytheistic gods, but little advanced beyond the point where they originated somewhere in nature, or in a tolerably primitive consciousness, we may say, taking the fat with the lean, that the pride of these poets in their work is justified. Of course we must not apply the chaster standards of a later time, nor can we expect perfectly even results. Anyhow, in the poet's own eyes the Rig-Vedic hymn is a thing of blameless, finished beauty. He has fashioned it as a skilled artisan a war chariot. He has filed it until it is free from all blemish, "as grain is winnowed in the winnowing-basket," "as ghee is clarified for the sacrifice." The heart of the poets is in their work, they are unquestionably giving the best they have. The poems are their inspirations. In so far as they rise above their all too human interests, in so far as they are something higher than blarneying beggars, they lift themselves up through their own art rather than the intrinsic qualities of the gods upon whom they spend their efforts.

The epithet "Goddess" is freely given to numerous designations of prayer and devotion. There is the "Goddess Devotion" (Dhī); the goddess "Lovely Praise" (Sushtuti); the goddess "Holy Thought" (Manīshā), and others.<ref>See Rig-Veda 3. 18. 3; 4. 43. 1; 7. 34. 1 and 9; 8. 27. 13.</ref> And by an almost comical ''tour de force,'' such as is possible only in India, Devotion, having become divine, turns into a real personage who might in the company of the other gods call out a second layer of the same article: "Drink the soma, O ye Açvins, in the company of Agni and Indra, of Varuna and Vishnu ... in the company of all pious Devotions."<ref>''Ibid'' 8. 35. 1 ''ff.''</ref> For the history of the human mind this last outcome, present in the ancient literature of this gifted people, is of unusual importance. The rather mystic idea of the divinity of Devotion and its expression, the notion that the sacred inspired thought and word can itself be god, will concern us more later on. From the point of view of religious feeling it is the last and best word of the Hindus as to the nature of the divine.

Here the original Greek for "Word" is Logos. This is not quite the same as the Hindu "Devotion," or "Holy Utterance," which we shall meet again in its finished expression as Brahma. The Logos originated in the philosophy of the Stoics and the Neo-Platonists: it is intellectual rather than emotional. But the two are alike in this: they seek the creative power and the creative plan in the mind or heart of the universe rather than in its mechanical manifestations. We shall see farther on how very peculiar is the treatment which the Hindus gave to this important and original concept, led on thereto by the melancholy genius that may be supposed to preside over the hot sombre land. For the present, and in this connection, we may be satisfied to see the origin of this seemingly mystic idea exposed to our eyes with a degree of clearness that is not obscured by its mythological coloring. Like almost all other important religious ideas of the Hindus this idea, when analysed patiently with the help of their rich literature, sheds light on the seeming mysteries of other religions. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> ts1ku4mlc90xnhzijbjt9hv21sf6yhn Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/224 104 2055740 15135978 8396329 2025-06-14T23:18:59Z 8582e 2903218 15135978 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Srkris" /></noinclude>LECTURE THE FIFTH.

It is a question of when, where, by whom, and how; each phase of this question, if considered aright, will contribute to the clearness of the whole. As regards the time when higher religious motives appear, I would remind my hearers of the indefinite and relative character of Vedic chronology. The older Upanishads, the Vedic texts which profess higher religion or theosophy, are written in about the same language and style as the so-called Brāhmana texts. These latter, as you may remember,<ref>See above, p. 43.</ref> are prose works which, quite like the Hebrew Talmud, define the sacrifice with minute prescript and illustrative legend. And the older Upanishads are part of the Brāhmanas; the majority of the older Upanishads, through the medium of the Āranyakas, join their theosophic speculations right on to the dead ritual. To some extent the bones of the ritual skeleton rattle about in early theosophy in quite a lively fashion. The Upanishads and theosophy are part of the Veda; neither Hindu believer nor western critic has ever doubted that. Now the thought of the Upanishads has its forerunners in all parts of Vedic literature clear back to the Rig-Veda; in the<noinclude></noinclude> i1yv5tb22tt70hhjirzg02yawdodaw2 Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/230 104 2055746 15134048 8396336 2025-06-14T15:39:14Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15134048 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh|214|The Religion of the Veda}}</noinclude>smaller house-holders who could not afford them, and did not have any use for them. They had in them the elements of public, tribal or national festivals.<ref>''Cf.'' Ludwig, ''Der Rig-Veda,'' vol. vi., p. x.</ref> Of course they were expensive. A large number of priests were present. We have seen in the past that these gentlemen were not at all shy about asking fees (''dakshiṇā'') for their services. Now we are told distinctly that the Vedic Kings, or tribal Rājas, were not only interested in the mechanical perfection and outward success of the sacrifices undertaken under their patronage, but that they were even more impressed by the speculative, mystic, and theosophic thoughts which were suggested by various phases of the sacrifice. Both in the Brāhmanas and in the Upanishads kings appear as questioners of the great Brahmans who solve for them some knotty sacrificial problem, or even some question connected with the riddle of existence. Whenever their questions are answered to their satisfaction, in the midst of a continuous discourse, the King again and again is excited to generosity: "I give thee a thousand (cows)," says King Janaka of Videha to the great theosopher Yājnavalkya, as the latter unfolds his marvellous scheme of salvation in the "Great Forest Upanishad."<ref>Brihadāranyaka Upanishad 4. 13. 14 ''ff.''</ref> Kings were known to give away their<noinclude></noinclude> h2uig6gu2fjmmc6jqmhobn05ebx1l29 Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/237 104 2055753 15134040 8396343 2025-06-14T15:30:48Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15134040 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh||The Beginnings of Hindu Theosophy|221}}</noinclude>cate of this view. Garbe is not at all an admirer of Brahman civilisation; on more than one occasion has he poured out the vials of his just wrath against the intolerable pretensions and cruelties which the Brahmans have practised during the period of their ascendancy in India through several milleniums. But not content with that, he believes that the Brahmans were not only bold bad men, but also that they were too stupid to have worked their way from the sandy wastes of ritualism to the green summits where grows the higher thought of India. For centuries the Brahmans were engaged in excogitating sacrifice after sacrifice, and hair-splitting definitions and explanations of senseless ritualistic hocus-pocus. "All at once," says Professor Garbe, "lofty thought appears upon the scene. To be sure, even then the traditional god-lore, sacrificial lore, and folk-lore are not rejected, but the spirit is no longer satisfied with the cheap mysteries that surround the sacrificial altar. A passionate desire to solve the riddle of the universe and its relation to the own self holds the mind captive; nothing less will satisfy henceforth." Parts of this observation of Professor Garbe are correct, nay even familiar. But not every part, it seems to me.

I would, for my part, question more particularly the expression "all at once" in the above statement. Mental revolutions rarely come all at once, least of all in India. The evidence of India's remarkably continuous records shows that every important Hindu thought has its beginning, middle, and final development. As regards theosophy, its beginnings are found in the Vedic hymns; its middle in the Upanishads; and its final development in the "Systems" of Philosophy, like the Vedānta and Sānkhya of later times. I am afraid that Professor Garbe has somehow gotten into the state of mind that there is only one kind of good Brahman, namely, a dead Brahman, to paraphrase a saying about that other Indian, the American Indian. Selfishness, foolishness, bigotry, and cruelty galore – the marks of these ''some'' Brahmans have left in their compositions, foolishly as behooves knaves. But there were, and there are, Brahmans and Brahmans. The older Upanishads, written in approximately the same language and style as the so-called prose Brāhmana (Talmudic) texts, figuring largely as parts of these compositions, were composed by Brahmans who had risen to the conviction that not "the way of works" lies the<noinclude></noinclude> 9sczqbdtsb96k2juc4u0yywdshrd25q Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/239 104 2055755 15134205 8396345 2025-06-14T17:33:27Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15134205 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh||The Beginnings of Hindu Theosophy|223}}</noinclude>salvation that is knowledge. Countless Brahman names crowd these texts: Naciketas and Çvetaketu, Gārgya and Yājnavalkya, and many others. Even the wives or daughters of great Brahmans, Gārgī and Maitreyī, take part in spiritual tourneys, and occasionally, as in the case of Gārgī in the Great Forest-Upanishad (3. 6 and 8), rise to a subtler appreciation than the Brahman men of the mystery of the world and the riddle of existence. The scholars mentioned have been attracted to their position by the interesting fact that the Upanishads narrate several times that the ultimate philosophy was in the keeping of men of royal caste, and that these warriors imparted their knowledge to Brahmans. This is put in such a way that the Brahman, after having aired his own stock of theosophy "lays down" before the king's superior insight. The king is then represented as graciously bestowing his saving knowledge upon the Brahman. Once or twice, however, the king turns braggart, and mars his generosity by claiming that the warrior caste are the real thing, and that they alone in all the world are able to illumine these profound and obscure matters. Thus the extreme example of this kind is narrated in two Upanishads.<ref>Brihad Āranyaka Upanishad 6. 2; Chāndogya Upanishad 5. 3.</ref> The Brahman Çvetaketu Āruni, ignorant of the doctrine of transmigration, is com-<noinclude></noinclude> fm1lhfrrrspag9stbptkrbpfyh6dzgi Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/240 104 2055756 15134198 8396347 2025-06-14T17:27:08Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15134198 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh|224|The Religion of the Veda}}</noinclude>pelled to look for instruction to King Pravāhana Jaivali, who receives him graciously and condescends to become his teacher. In the course of his preachment the King says to the Brahman: {{blockquote/s}} "Because, as thou hast told me, this doctrine ere this and up to thy time has not been in vogue among the Brahmans, therefore in all the world sovereignty has remained in the hands of the warrior caste. As surely as we desire that thou and all thy ancestors shall remain well-disposed towards us, so surely has to this day no Brahman ever possessed this knowledge." {{blockquote/e}} I doubt whether this statement, and others of a similar nature, justify us in regarding the warrior caste as the spiritual saviors of India. As regards King Pravāhana Jaivali's statement, it is specious on the face of it. For what have royalty and transmigration to do with one another? In its essence the doctrine of transmigration has no more regard for royalty than for the lowest caste, because its purpose is release from any form of individual existence (see the sixth lecture). Then again, the very texts that narrate these exploits of the Kshatriyas are unquestionably Brahmanic. Would the arrogance and selfishness of the Brahmans have allowed them to preserve and propagate facts calculated to injure permanently their own standing? Surely not.

This is true even at the present day: Svāmī Vivekānanda was no Brahman, but a member of the Kayastha or clerk caste. The Chāndogya Upanishad (4. 4) narrates how Satyakāma, the son of the gadabout servant-maid Jabālā, was admitted to Brahmanic disciplehood by Hāridrumata, for the very reason that he did not try to cover up his low birth. Satyakāma, in the end, obtains the highest knowledge. When it comes to higher religion the bars are consciously let down at all times. In the Mokshadharma of the Mahābhārata<ref>12. 261 ''ff.''</ref> the Vaiçya (Vanik) caste man Tulādhāra, "seller of juices, scents, leaves, barks, fruits, and roots," teaches righteousness to the Brahman Jājali. In the same text<ref>12. 290 ''ff.''</ref> the Rishi Parāçara declares that Brahmans learned in the Veda regard a virtuous Çūdra, or low caste man, as the equal of Brahmans. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 5b8r0l9u041enakrgsglck6w90kcxqy Page:The Religion of the Veda.djvu/242 104 2055758 15134190 8396349 2025-06-14T17:23:13Z 8582e 2903218 /* Proofread */ 15134190 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="8582e" />{{rh|226|The Religion of the Veda}}</noinclude>Here, I think, is where the good Brahman, of whom Professor Garbe will not hear, comes in. The Brahman authors of the Upanishads, just as high-minded Brahmans of all ages, were honest and liberal enough to permit all fit men to participate in higher religious activity, in wisdom and in piety. Nay, they express particular admiration in such participation, because, after all, there was to them something unexpected in all this. They were carried away by it to a certain ecstasy, the kind of ecstasy that goes with a paradox, as when the son of a peasant in Europe works his way to a professorship in a university. As regards the Rājas, or other nobles, we must not forget, too, that they were after all the source from which all blessings flowed. Even in theosophic occupation the Brahman remains, as I have said before, the poor cleric with the Rāja as his Mæcenas. I think that any one who reads these statements of royal proficiency in the highest wisdom attentively will acknowledge that they are dashed in the Upanishads, as they are in the Ritual, with a goodly measure of ''captatio benevolentiæ.'' In other words, the genuine admiration of high-minded nobles is not necessarily divorced from the subconsciousness that it is well to admire in high places. Even really good Brahmans might do that.

The gods, too, we must not forget, have taken, very mechanically, fixed positions in the ritual devoted to their service. One thing is certain, in the host of figures that crowd the canvass in the transition period from mythology to theosophy the nature gods play no real rôle. They are, if not exactly abandoned, at least relegated to a subordinate position and treated with comparative coldness. Every embodiment of the divine idea is now abstract or symbolic. The higher forms of early Hindu religion operate decidedly from the ontological side, from the severely intellectual side. Faith and piety, sentiment and emotion, right and wrong, invariably take the second place, as long as there is to settle the question of the universe, the great cosmos; man, the little cosmos; time; space; causality. Therefore, perhaps, the plastic possibilities of the early gods through poetry, legend, and the art of reproduction remain in India a coarse-grained exercise of second rate power: one needs but to call up for comparison the part that Greek mythology plays in Greek literature and art. It is interesting to test this on the person of one great nature god of the early time.

Avestan Ahura Mazda and Vedic Varuna are the guardians-in-chief of the ''ṛta,'' the cosmic and moral order of the universe and man.<ref>See above, p. 126.</ref> Vedic Varuna in his ethical strength has a Hebraic flavor. By the side of even the loftiest figure and the loftiest traits of the Hellenic or Teutonic Pantheon Varuna stands like a Jewish prophet by the side of a priest of Dagon. And yet what permanent moral strength have the Hindus derived from Varuna, and what becomes of Varuna himself in the course of his development? A second rate Neptune, "Lord of the Waters," a mere stage figure. In the straight-lined advance, looking neither to the right nor to the left, to the recognition of the one Brahma, the universal spirit, as the one Reality, and the consequent illusoriness of the entire phenomenal world, there is really no more room for righteous and stern Varuna than for an idol of clay, unless you can make out that Varuna is but a particular manifestation of the One Brahma, and then he is no more important than any other manifestation.

The Vedic gods derive strength from prayer and sacrifice, just as do Hindu men – this is a familiar conception from the beginning. The thought which underlies Brihaspati has in store for itself a greater future and a more permanent result in the still more abstract Brahma, which is religious devotion in the absolute. Of this in the last lecture. For the present Brihaspati rises from his modest position as aider and abettor of the war-gods to become father of the gods, upholder of the ends of the earth. Sun and moon's alternate rise is his work. Like a blacksmith Brihaspati soldered together this world.

What if the effect even of his good deeds should not last forever? What if, instead of the hoped-for immortality in yonder world, there be death again? One text fancies a limited immortality which lasts only a hundred years, that is, the ideal length of the life of man upon earth. The treasure of good deeds is after all finite; day and night, or, as we should say, time may exhaust the stock of one's good works. In strict logic that must mean death anew. So we read in the Brāhmana texts of fervent wishes and cunning rites potent to ensure imperishableness of one's good works, and to cut off the possible recurrence of death.<ref>Taittirīya Brāhmana 3. 11. 8. 5.</ref> There are also performances intended to secure to the deceased ancestors who, for aught one knows, are in the same danger of re-dying, genuine, instead of temporary and conditional immortality.<ref>Çatapatha Brāhmana 12. 9. 3. 12.</ref> This "death-anew," or "re-death" (''punarmṛtyu'') as the Hindus call it, is an exceedingly characteristic idea, but it is not yet transmigration of souls.

In brief, the nearer or remoter analogies of human life which pervade, or seem to pervade all objects in nature present themselves to early man as guarantees or suggestions of universal animation, of souls present in every shapen thing. And now the passage of these souls from one kind of receptacle to another, from man to man, from man to animal, plant, or stock, or stone, follows inevitably. The records of primitive beliefs are full of it. I will merely remind you of the belief in werwolves as one instance of this kind. In the final outcome of all these notions some peoples, eager to account for the destiny of man after death, have assumed a chain of variegated existences.

La procedure A suivre par la station mobile depend de diverses circonstances. D'une fagon gen6rale, elle doit tenir compte de ce qui suit: 1° Si les stations radiogoniom6triques ne veillent pas sur la meme onde, que ce soit l'onde pour 'operation du relevement ou une autre onde, les relevements doivent etre demandes separement a chaque station ou groupe de stations utilisant une onde donnee. 20 Si toutes les stations radiogoniometriques int6ressees veillent sur une meme onde, et si elles sont en mesure de prendre des releve- ments sur une onde commune - qui peut etre une autre onde que l'onde de veille - il y a lieu de les appeler ensemble, afin que les relevements soient pris par toutes ces stations a la fois, sur une seule et meme emission. 30 Si plusieurs stations radiogoniometriques sont group6es a l'aide de fils speciaux, une seule d'entre elles doit etre appelee, meme si toutes sont munies d'appareils emetteurs. Dans ce cas, la station mobile doit cependant, s'il est necessaire, mentionner dans l'appel, au moyen des indicatifs d'appel, les stations radiogoniom6triques dont elle desire obtenir des relevements. C. Les indications relatives: a) au signal A employer pour obtenir le relevement; b) a la duree des emissions A faire par la station mobile et c) a l'heure utilisee par la station radiogoniom6trique consideree, sont donn6es dans la nomenclature. II. Rggles de procedure. A. POUR OBTENIR UN RELhVEMENT. (1) La station mobile appelle la station radiogoniometrique sur l'onde indiquee dans la nomenclature comme etant son onde de veille. La station appelante transmet l'abr6viation QTE? (suivie, si la station radiogoniometrique est une station mobile, par l'abr6- viation QTH?) et indique, si n6cessaire, 1'onde qu'elle va employer pour faire prendre son relevement. Ensuite, la station appelante attend des instructions. (2) La station radiogoniom6trique appelee invite la station ap- pelante A transmettre. (3) Apres avoir, si ncessaire, prdpare sa nouvelle onde de trans- mission, la station appelante repond en transmettant son indicatif d'appel combine eventuellement avec un autre signal, pendant un temps suffisamment prolonge pour permettre le relevement. (4) La station radiogoniometrique determine la direction et, si possible, le sens du relevement, et transmet l'information a la station appelante dans 1'ordre suivant: a) abreviation QTE; b) relevement vrai en degr6s par rapport a la station radiogo- niometrique; c) heure d'observation; d) si la station radiogoniometrique est mobile, sa propre posi- tion en latitude et longitude, precedee par l'abreviation QTH. 1646 TREATIES [54 STAT.<noinclude></noinclude> q1bhis23esoyk9t16fspz46jy9rzkod Page:United States Statutes at Large Volume 54 Part 2.djvu/428 104 2065420 15135904 8688775 2025-06-14T22:41:10Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., removed: � 15135904 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="" /></noinclude>Si la station radiogoniometrique n'est pas satisfaite de l'op6ration, elle demande a la station appelante de rep6ter l'emission indiquee sous (3). (5) Des que la station appelante a regu le resultat de l'observation, elle r6epte le message a la station radiogoniometrique, celle-ci con- firme ensuite que la repetition est exacte ou, le cas echeant, la rectifie en r6eptant le message A nouveau. Quand la station radiogonio- metrique a la certitude que la station mobile a correctement regu le message, elle transmet le signal "fin de travail". Ce signal est alors repet6 par la station appelante pour indiquer que l'op6ration est termin6e. B. POUR OBTENIR UNE POSITION DE DEUX OU PLUSIEURS STATIONS RADIOGONIOMTTRIQUES ORGANISBES EN GROUPE. Si la station appelante desire etre informee de sa position par la station de contr6le d'un groupe de stations radiogoniom6triques, elle appelle la station de contr6le comme ci-dessus et demande une position en utilisant l'abreviation QTF? 1). La station de controle repond A l'appel et, quand les stations radiogoniometriques sont pretes, invite la station appelante A trans- mettre; ayant determine la position, elle la transmet a la station appelante comme ci-dessus, en utilisant l'abreviation QTF. C. POUR OBTENIR DES RELEVEMENTS SIMULTAN]S DE DEUX STATIONS RADIOGONIOMETRIQUES, OU PLUS, ORGANISES EN GROUPE. Sur une demande de relevements, la station de controle d'un groupe de stations radiogoniometriques procede comme en B ci-dessus, et ensuite transmet les relevements observes par chaque station du groupe, chaque relvement etant precede de l'indicatif d'appel de la station qui l'a pris.

El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos, aunque reconoce la posibilidad de que esta definici6n pueda llegar a ser correcta, no esta en situaci6n de manifestar desde ahora su conformidad. 50. - Queda comprendido que el Gobierno de Chile, si lega a designar aeropuertos aduaneros de entrada y salida, tal como se contempla en el parrafo G del anexo "A", hara la designaci6n de tales aeropuertos en forma de permitir que las rutas de los Estados Unidos descritas en el anexo "B", y toda otra ruta de los Estados Unidos que mas tarde pueda ser aprobada por el Gobierno de Chile, puedan ser operadas sin desventaja alguna en cuanto a su operaci6n, no perjudicandose asi la lfnea aerea o las lineas aereas de los Estados Unidos designadas para volar en estas rutas. -Por ejemplo, tratandose de un servicio que entrara al territorio chileno en Arica y que prosigue a puntos en Bolivia y mas alli, el aeropuerto aduanero que Chile designaria para la entrada inicial seria Arica y este mismo aeropuerto seria designado como el aeropuerto aduanero de salida; asf, en un servicio que entrara en territorio chileno en Antofagasta y que prosigue a puntos en Argen- tina y mas alla, el aeropuerto aduanero tanto para la entrada como para la salida seria Antofagasta; en un servicio que entrara a Chile en Antofagasta y que prosigue a Santiago y de ese punto a puntos en Argentina y mas alli, el aeropuerto aduanero inicial de entrada serfa Antofagasta y el aeropuerto aduanero de salida seria Santiago. 6°. - Con referencia al artfculo II queda comprendido por ambas Partes Contratantes que los itinerarios de operaci6n de una linea aerea designada o lineas aereas designadas seran regulares y apro- bados por las autoridades aeronauticas de ambas Partes Contratantes; sin embargo, las disposiciones del anexo "A" regirAn las frecuencias de los itinerarios operados.

What was most to be remarked with respect to the atmosphere is that it contained a minimum of dust particles; so that, though the air was saturated with moisture, condensation seldom took place, except along the border lands, where fogs were very prevalent. The great rain storm, producing the flood we experienced, was probably due to an unusual disturbance of anti-cyclonic nature, whereby dust-mote loaded air of the anti-trade belt above had descended, causing sudden condensation. The waters, continually draining into a central basin and there evaporating, led to the production of a residual salt sea. A knowledge of the strata underlying the basin would have been of the greatest value, but of course exposures were not available. However, a great accumulation of coal producing matter was presented in the jungle zone.

That spur I did not need. She seemed to stand before me still as I had left her, with my kiss fresh on her cheeks, and on her lips that strange, nervous, helpless laugh, the laugh that admitted a folly she could not conquer, expressed a shame that burned her even while she braved it, and owned a love so compact of this folly and this shame that its joy seemed all one with their bitterness. But to my younger heart and hotter man's blood the folly and shame were now beaten down by the joy; it freed itself from them and soared up into my heart on a liberated and triumphant wing. I had achieved this thing—I, the boy they laughed at and tried to rule. She herself had laughed at me. She laughed thus no more. When I kissed her she had not called me Cæsar; she had found no utterance save in that laugh, and the message of that laugh was surrender.<noinclude></noinclude> 4u9s01j8bp3hv9xiz9r0c38o109q5a2 Page:The Book of Scottish Song.djvu/170 104 2250725 15133876 7124418 2025-06-14T12:05:49Z Chrisguise 2855804 15133876 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Keith Edkins" />{{rh|152|SCOTTISH SONGS.|}} {{block center/s}}</noinclude><section begin="s1" />Even then, when horror chiled my blood,<br /> {{gap|1em}}My heart was filled with love for thee:<br /> The storm is past, and I at rest;<br /> {{gap|1em}}So, Mary, weep no more for me!<br /> <br /> O maiden dear, thyself prepare;<br /> {{gap|1em}}We soon shall meet upon that shore,<br /> Where love is free from doubt and care,<br /> {{gap|1em}}And thou and I shall part no, more!"<br /> Loud crowed the cock, the shadow fled:<br /> {{gap|1em}}No more of Sandy could she see.<br /> But soft the passing spirit said,<br /> {{gap|1em}}"Sweet Mary, weep no more for me!" {{block center/e}} {{rule|4em}} <section end="s1" /> <section begin="s2" />{{c|{{x-larger|{{blackletter|The Smiling Plains.}}}}}} [{{sc|[[Author:William Falconer (1732-1769)|William Falconer]]}}, author of "[[The Shipwreck (Falconer, 1762)|The Shipwreck]]."] {{block center| {{sc|The}} smiling plains, profusely gay,<br /> Are dress'd in all the pride of May;<br /> The birds on every spray above<br /> To rapture wake the vocal grove.<br /> But, ah!

Thereby its value was magnified a thousand fold. Accordingly, {{hebrew thousand|א}} represented 1,000. Thus any number less than a million could be represented by their system. 31. As indicated above, the Hebrews wrote from right to left. Hence, in writing numbers, the numeral of highest value appeared on the right; <span lang="he" dir="rtl" class="mw-content-rtl">{{hebrew thousand|ה}}{{he|א}}</span> meant 5,001, <span lang="he" dir="rtl" class="mw-content-rtl">{{hebrew thousand|א}}{{he|ה}}</span> meant 1,005. But 1,005 could be written also {{he|אה}}, where the two dots were omitted, for when {{he|א}} meant unity, it was always placed to the left of another numeral. Hence when appearing on the right it was interpreted as meaning 1,000. With a similar understanding for other signs, one observes here the beginning of an imperfect application in Hebrew notation of the principle of local value. By about the eighth century {{smaller|A.D.}}, one finds that the signs {{he|הףמה}} signify 5,845, the number of verses in the laws as given in the Masora. Here the sign on the extreme right means 5,000; the next to the left is an 8 and must stand for a value less than 5,000, yet greater than the third sign representing 40. Hence the sign for 8 is taken here as 800.<ref>G. H. F. Nesselmann, ''Die Algebra der Griechen'' (Berlin, 1842), p. 72, 494; M.

These end forms were used as follows: {| align="center" {{ts|ac}} |- | {{he|ץ}} || {{he|ף}} || {{he|ן}} || {{he|ם}} || {{he|ך}} |- | 900 || 800 || 700 || 600 || 500. |} To represent thousands the Hebrews went back to the beginning of their alphabet and placed two dots over each letter. Thereby its value was magnified a thousand fold. Accordingly, {{hebrew thousand|א}} represented 1,000. Thus any number less than a million could be represented by their system. 31. As indicated above, the Hebrews wrote from right to left. Hence, in writing numbers, the numeral of highest value appeared on the right; <span lang="he" dir="rtl" class="mw-content-rtl">{{hebrew thousand|ה}}{{he|א}}</span> meant 5,001, <span lang="he" dir="rtl" class="mw-content-rtl">{{hebrew thousand|א}}{{he|ה}}</span> meant 1,005. But 1,005 could be written also {{he|אה}}, where the two dots were omitted, for when {{he|א}} meant unity, it was always placed to the left of another numeral. Hence when appearing on the right it was interpreted as meaning 1,000. With a similar understanding for other signs, one observes here the beginning of an imperfect application in Hebrew notation of the principle of local value. By about the eighth century {{smaller|A.D.}}, one finds that the signs {{he|הףמה}} signify 5,845, the number of verses in the laws as given in the Masora. Here the sign on the extreme right means 5,000; the next to the left is an 8 and must stand for a value less than 5,000, yet greater than the third sign representing 40. Hence the sign for 8 is taken here as 800.<ref>G. H. F. Nesselmann, ''Die Algebra der Griechen'' (Berlin, 1842), p. 72, 494; M.

But the interest which those ancient Greek philosophers took in language was purely philosophical. It was the form, far more than the matter of speech which seemed to them a subject worthy of philosophical speculation. The idea that there was, even in their days, an immense mass of accumulated speech to be sifted, to be analysed, and to be accounted for somehow, before any theories on the nature of language could be safely started, hardly ever entered their minds, or, when it did, as we see here and there in Plato's [[Cratylus|Kratylos]], it soon vanished, without leaving any permanent impression. Every people and every generation have their own problems to solve. The problem that occupied Plato in his Kratylos was, if I understand him rightly, the possibility of a perfect language, a correct, true, or ideal language, a language founded on his own philosophy, his own system of types or ideas. He was too wise a man to attempt, like [[Author:John Wilkins|Bishop Wilkins]], the actual construction of a philosophical language. But, like [[Author:Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz|Leibniz]], he just lets us see that a perfect language is conceivable, and that the chief reason of the imperfections of real language must be found in the fact that its original framers were ignorant of the true nature of things, ignorant of dialectic philosophy, and therefore incapable of naming<noinclude></noinclude> 6mexrz7xl5jmhf465rw6b7cwqbh60c0 User talk:Chrisguise 3 2502433 15136073 15131219 2025-06-15T00:56:04Z EncycloPetey 3239 /* The Works of Ben Jonson/Volume 6/The Sad Shepherd */ new section 15136073 wikitext text/x-wiki {{User:Wikisource-bot/config |archive = User talk:Chrisguise/Archives/%(year)d |algo = old(2000d) |counter = 1 |archiveheader = {{archive header}} }} {{welcome}} [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 20:24, 20 June 2018 (UTC) == Micrographia == Do you have access to the OCR tool?

My suggestion, if you haven't already considered doing so, would be to copy the structure used for other multi-volume encylopedias (e.g.[[Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition]]), 23 vols.

It is also mentioned several times in Volume 2 of the much more comprehensive two-volume bibliography by Thomas J. Wise (1920). The date given for the work is 1857 (the version of IDUB being transcribed is 1876). Both bibliographies are on 'Internet Archive'.

I've been converting from Gutenberg which maintains the line-breaks and having them removed makes comparison more difficult. Are you able to keep the line-breaks in future edits? Thanks [[User:DivermanAU|DivermanAU]] ([[User talk:DivermanAU|talk]]) 19:15, 7 December 2019 (UTC) : Hello, as part of proofing any page, the first thing I do is run the 'clean up OCR' tool, which takes the line breaks out automatically. Could you explain a bit more about what you are doing? Are you comparing with Gutenberg to move the page on from proof-read to validated or are you checking my proof-reading? In my experience the transcriptions on Gutenberg are not without errors - as surely are my own efforts - even though I understand that they use multiple keying. Regards. [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 13:41, 8 December 2019 (UTC) :: Hi again, I forgot to check back earlier on this discussion. By leaving the line-breaks in-place it make it easier to compare to text from Gutenberg. I usually paste in converted text from Gutenberg and then use the "Show changes" button to do a comparison. That way, occasional errors from Gutenberg can be found and corrected (e.g. Gutenberg sometimes has typos and italics missing). Removing line-breaks makes makes manual proofing more difficult (as the lines don't match up) and it's very difficult to see what changes have been made when using "Compare selected revisions" in Revision history. Also, running your 'clean up OCR' tool has replaced agreed EB1911 standards for curly quotes and apostrophes (“” ’) with straight double and single quotes (" '). An example is your recent edits to [Page:EB1911 - Volume 07.djvu/791]. You also removed spacing in the Page Header which centers the text. Regards, [[User:DivermanAU|DivermanAU]] ([[User talk:DivermanAU|talk]]) 21:59, 6 October 2020 (UTC) :::Hello, Following on from your initial communication on this topic, I have tried to confine myself to either only editing pages already at 'proof-read' status, wherein I assumed it would be OK to remove all the page breaks before changing the status to 'validated', or if I edit 'not proof read' pages I actually read them, rather than compare them to something else that might not be correct. Having done so, I figured removing the page breaks wouldn't matter. :::I also change the sometimes various forms used in the page header (or add them if missing) with the EB1911 page header template. If things don't line up then presumably the template needs to be amended. :::Regarding the curly quotes, I'd been following the generic guidance in the Help, which says to use straight quotes. I don't know if you've come across it but there is a useful tool to change all straight quotes to curly ones. Details are associated with the 'Once a Week' transcription project (which also insists on using the curly quotes). It seems to work pretty well. The style guide is at Wikisource:Wikiproject Once a Week and the person who maintains it sent me the details (see User_talk:Chrisguise#curly_quotes_in_%22once_a_week%22_&_other_matters.). Regard, [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 23:01, 6 October 2020 (UTC) ::::Curly quotes are the EB1911 standard, see [[Wikisource:WikiProject 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Style Manual#Quoted_text|EB1911 Style Manual]].

Some character values will still work if the quotes are omitted, but best practice is to use the quotes for any text, including "Adv", "-", or such. The size of dash for blank pages, images, and the like is purely an aesthetic choice on the part of the initial proofreader. Some editors prefer "-" for blank pages as it minimizes the space taken up in display on the Index. Other editors will use the emdash to keep display size of all pages to roughly the same width, which can help with getting page numbers to line up in neat columns. But there's no reason to replace emdashes with hyphens if the initial editor made the choice to use emdashes. The value is there only on the index page is that page is not transcluded, and serves no real function except in the margin as a page number for transcluded pages (and which can then be linked to with a hashtag). There can be a reason to go the other way: to expand hyphens into emdashes, if there is content on that page, because a hyphen is small and harder to click on; but otherwise, it's purely up to the initial proofreader. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 02:34, 30 December 2019 (UTC) == Memoirs == If you upload Volume II or III, let me know and I’ll stop by to proofread a bit.

In reference to [[Special:Diff/9904025|this edit]], the {{tl|sp}} template was used to duplicate the letter spacing in the original used for emphasis. As an alternative to italics, spacing was sometimes increased for emphasis (perhaps because it didn't require using italic type <s>matrices</s> sorts, you just spaced out the normal ones).

It's the most thorough and comprehensive that I've come across.

Regards, Chris [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 14:22, 28 February 2020 (UTC) : By "line spacing wider than in the text," do you mean differing from the way it is printed in the old magazine? That magazine was {{sc|cramped}}, filling its pages almost edge-to-edge with small type, and with only a rule as separation between items. Paper was a major part of periodical expenses in those days—wood-pulp paper wasn’t yet in use. There is absolutely no requirement that the digital version of the texts has to be bound by the same restraints. To paraphrase something Billinghurst said, Wikisource is digitizing the words of the authors, not the typesetters’ peculiarities. : Most of the stylistic choices in the style guide were made by me, with some input from Encylopetey; I was revising a basis that was created some years ago by I’m not sure who, Mudbringer for one. I tried to imitate the magazine as much as possible while complying with standard Wikisource formatting and loosening up the tight spacing, and a few other changes to make things look better on the web: for instance, I inset margins for block-quotes whereas the original didn’t, only distinguishing them by smaller type. : Do you have any specific suggestions for improvements?

The Aeneis has a Dryden transcription (1697 edition) but this has no index page or images (hence needs migration), the Georgics page lists the Dryden, (I added it in June 2019 - not expecting to be doing the transcription a year later!) but there wasn't anything behind it, and the Dryden was not listed on the Eclogues page until I added it recently. :I have structured the contents to enable the relevant sections to be linked to the E, G and A pages.

In my defence I would say the following. Firstly, in my experience, whether you use the <nowiki><br/></nowiki> option, the <nowiki><poem> </poem></nowiki> option or a mixture of the two makes no difference to how the pages appear when transcluded; it's more important that the <nowiki>{{center block/s}} and {{center block/e}}</nowiki> are used consistently, and text sizes, footnotes, etc follow a consistent pattern. Secondly, the <nowiki><br/></nowiki> method makes it more difficult to spot transcription errors in the punctuation at the end of lines. I find that in most poetry the OCR does a good job with the text but frequently gets the punctuation wrong (e.g. . or ,. ; or :, and with poor scans ? and !). Finally, I suppose I just try to make best use of the tools that are available to help, and find the <nowiki><poem> </poem></nowiki> method much quicker, in the absence of something to automatically put the line breaks it on every line. :I previously did some work on Volume 5, but only on the introductory pieces to some of the poems.

Since then, I try to figure out a way for it to work in the Main. Shifting the numbers and then the process gets broken at the chapter part.... It is an unfixable problem in the world that doesn't depress me to think about! In this way, it is beautiful and rare and I have grown very fond of it.

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with {{tl|djvu page link}} but it seems to me that it doesn't achieve anything when used in a table of contents (ToC). From a ToC the link needs to take you to the chapter content, not just to an individual page. Also, the links work on the page containing the ToC and on the Index page (if the ToC is shown there), but when the page containing the ToC is transcluded, the links are suppressed. The one place where I think {{tl|djvu page link}} is useful is when a book contains a list of illustrations, where a link to an individual page is appropriate.[[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 00:56, 6 March 2021 (UTC) == Gentlemen Prefer Blondes == I noticed your edit [[Special:Diff/10990680/10991003]].

Just a little quibble over something that inhibits export readiness and accessibility: when you use ''px'' as a unit for something that contains text content, you are making an implicit assumption that everyone will have the same font size as you (by default in most browsers, this is 16px). This is not a safe assumption to make in the general case, as e-readers often have much larger font sizes and also visually-impaired users may have larger fonts too. This means that your ''px''-sized box becomes much too small for the text. However, if you use an equivalent ''em'' size, the box would scale in line with the system font size. For an actual example, you can see [[H:PXWIDTH]]. In general, the solution is simple: divide the ''px'' width you would use by 16 and use that number of ''em''s: e.g. 400px → 25em. This will look the same on a default browser, but will also work as the font size changes.

Some of the First Folio editions are divided into scenes; some are not. And some of the scenes are numbered differently from other editions (or don't exist in other editions. It's one of the reasons why we divided the Yale Shakespeare by Acts, without separating out the scenes. And the FF has the added issue that you can't always divide the Acts into scenes because not all the plays are divided that way. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 20:25, 22 January 2022 (UTC) :Thanks. I've done a few of the comedies and histories and have followed whatever was printed (i.e. just division into Acts or into Acts and Scenes). With Hamlet the printer has started by dividing into Acts and Scenes in Act I. but after Act I., Scene III. has abandoned marking the acts and scenes. There are some markings for Act II. too but after that there's nothing. I'm transcluding at the scene level, following the divisions used elsewhere, and which can be identified from the stage directions. Otherwise it would be just one long screed.[[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 08:41, 23 January 2022 (UTC) :: OK.

Although there is a main page with a table of contents (i.e. [[Shakespeare - First Folio facsimile (1910)]]) it clearly isn't complete yet. The content of the 'front matter' sub page (see [[Shakespeare - First Folio facsimile (1910)/Front matter|Front matter]]) either needs including on the main page (e.g. the title page) or breaking into individual sections (e.g. the individual poems). An AuxTOC section then needs adding to the main page, rather than what's there at the moment. The 'front matter' sub-page also contains the ToC page from the work, which needs removing.

Those collections/reprints may someday get representation on Wikisource, so having a generic link there would prevent us from having to change the data on all the author pages later when a versions page is made.

I can't say I agree with you, because: :(1) If I click on a link for a work, I expect to be taken to a copy of that work, not to a page that might contain several versions of it and then have to choose among them. Access to other versions (whether there are actually other copies, or just 'might be one day' ones) can then be had via the 'other versions' link at the top of the work. :(2) If I put a link in a work to the origin of a quotation (such as those perennial favourites, Shakespeare, Paradise Lost and the Bible}, I don't link to a 'versions' page and then let the reader pick one for themselves and wade through the whole work to try and find the line(s) of interest. I link to a specific point in one version. :(3) If I'd named the transcription 'The Death Bed' or 'The Death Bed (Cuney)' instead of 'Fire!!/Flame from the Dark Tower/The Death Bed' then I might agree with you, since - in the unlikely event of further versions - that would require moving things about to create a disambiguation page.

I only ask because (a) I dislike transcluding works all on one page, and (b) having a look through all the pages, I can't seem to see any clearly identifiable sections. If you prefer, I can transclude a single section ("Memoirs of the Plague") and cut sections 2 and 3 from the ToC (at least everything isn't then on the opening page for the work), or I can cut the ToC entirely and put everything on the front page (after transcluding, it should then be easier to search for issues/missing nops etc.).

I do split the title to follow the design intent if different parts of it are in different font sizes or formats. For poems, if (unsplit) the total length of the title is less than the length of the longest verse, I tend to leave it on one line. If (unsplit) it is longer than the verses of the poem, I think it sometimes makes the overall layout (when transcluded) look 'off-centre', so I split it, depending on how it looks to me. :I won't die in a ditch over this - if you want to change things to make them all consistent, then feel free. :Regards, [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 13:19, 21 May 2022 (UTC) ::Thank you for the explanation, it does make sense to me.

I was in the middle of going through the older bits to bring them in line with the more recently done bits, tidying up and standardising, etc.; and then transcluding everything in a standard way. When you start wading into the middle of that it kinda feels like I have to "clean up" and redo stuff after a second person in addition to cleaning up after myself-from-half-a-decade-ago. And the way I've done things (like the chapter headings) is mostly deliberate. If you think I've messed them up some way (I'm far from infallible!), bring it up on talk somewhere and we'll hash it out. In particular, I've been more concerned with ''standardising'' the chapter headings than the fine details of ''formatting'' them, because then I can bot-adjust them in one go or change the formatting with CSS. When you jump in and start changing them (regardless of whether one or the other is the "right" way) you kinda throw a wrench into that plan.{{pbr}}Please don't take this as indicating I'm not grateful for the help. I very very much am! It's just a gentle nudge to avoid needlessly stepping on one another's toes too much. 😀 [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 07:30, 31 March 2023 (UTC) :Hi there. Sorry, it's another instance on my part of disappearing down a rabbit hole, having chanced upon the index page while following up links and connections with other things, and then getting drawn in and .... before you know it ...! I see things in the state of progress that this one is in and think that, if I lend some assistance, it can be got over the line in terms of completing the proofread and transclusion, without really thinking about what has been done to get it to where it is in the first place. I should take time to review. :Like you I have things I've been working on for a long time (haven't made 5 years yet, but I only started doing this four years ago). Maybe I wouldn't take so long if I didn't keep getting distracted. :Not sure whether you want me to revert the changes I made. I have used the standard header template for the transclusion and followed your ToC set up. I also believe I've been consistent in applying the font size changes to chapter titles, so automated changes should still work. Just reverting the changes will loose some actual corrections, though (plus see the following observations). :(i) I didn't understand the need to increase the font size of headings beyond what is in the original work. It seems to me to create emphasis where there is none in the original. I just replicate what's in the printed work as best I can; (ii) I've done a reasonable amount of poetry transcription using <nowiki>{{ppoem}}</nowiki> and I've found that if you don't include both the 'start' and 'end' parameters it can lead to problems; (iii) the ppoem format isn't really working for the dialogue sections quoted in the notes. I only came across the <nowiki>{{playscript}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{rbstagedir}}</nowiki> templates recently, and this is the first time that I've tried them, but they seem to work reasonably well. Regards, [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 09:12, 31 March 2023 (UTC) :P.S. Regarding the font size thing, lots of people seem to do this. They see a title that's all capitals and assume its a larger font, when the capitals are just the same as those used in the main body. I probably did it myself before I found a Firefox add-in that allows you to measure features on web pages. [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 09:13, 31 March 2023 (UTC) ::No need to revert. As you say, that tends to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I have lots of fixing still to do on this before it's done.{{pbr}}One of those things is the headings, where the triple-xl etc. stuff was done in 2018 and now stood out to me as egregious. For the more recent parts I'd standardised on c+xl for the chapter headings, and c+xl+asc for the subheading. Mainly because I tend to use c+xl as a decent approximation, "close enough", for most texts, and was planning to assess the need for further tweaks in a last pass over it. cf. a recent WS:S discussion (that I'm too lazy to dig up and link just now) I'm toying with the idea of creating some generic "chapter heading" templates that have really basic default formatting, but contains hooks so you can apply an Index stylesheet to them to get the details just right. This particular text was one of my main motivations for that.{{pbr}}The play texts—the ones with speech prefixes—are another bit that is on my todo list to fix. I'm fairly sure I can do it with CSS, in which case I'll get all of them in one fell swoop. But in any case, they're a known issue and I'd just left them for this fixup pass after finishing the transcription.{{pbr}}{{tl|ppoem}} should under no circumstances need explicit start/end params stating the defaults (it should literally do ''nothing'' except make the template syntax more complicated). If you run across any instances where that's needed then it's a bug and we should fix it. Ppoem isn't really designed to do play scripts just now, but I'm investigating ways it could be adopted to do so (possibly by giving it a {{tl|pplay}} sister template). It might be too complicated to try to address all the myriad ways play scripts are formatted, but I think a large proportion of cases could probably be handled the same way ppoem does it. {{tl|playscript}}, {{tl|playscript2}}, and {{tl|rbstagedir}} are decent attempts, but they still suffer from a lot of the problems (complicated to use, fragile and prone to breakage, unexpected and non-intuitive behaviours, etc.) that made {{tl|ppoem}} necessary for poems.{{pbr}}In any case… Let me finish honing up the rough edges and polishing it a bit, and then I'll give you a ping. Feedback like the above (heading size etc.) is always useful, even if I might want to find some alternate way to approach it (opinionated and geeky, you know how that goes). And I know there'll be stuff I missed in the Proofreading so a second pair of eyes is always welcome (e.g. I've discovered I have a blind spot for italic emphasis in text, so there's bound to be a bunch of missed italics in there). [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 10:31, 31 March 2023 (UTC) :::Hi, OK with the not reverting and awaiting your ping. :::As I don't have any HTML programming knowledge (or much other programming knowledge for that matter) I can't really comment on the robustness or otherwise of different templates (I just want them to work for me). :::I was puzzled by your comment about the 'ppoem' start / end parameters. They are required where the poetry spans more than one page - if you don't it doesn't transclude properly. If you do it as separate blocks on adjacent pages, the width of the text block varies depending on verse length and, as the block is centered by default, the sections of text don't left align on transclusion. Likewise, if you have poetry in a footnote in a poem it seems to be essential to use these parameters (two of my long term projects are [[Hudibras]], by [[author:Samuel Butler (1612-1680)|Samuel Butler]], and [[The Dunciad]] by [[author:Alexander Pope|Alexander Pope]] - footnotes galore!) Given this, I have defaulted to always using the parameters every time I use <nowiki>{{ppoem}}</nowiki>, with all of the possible combinations in my clipboard manager. :::I do find <nowiki>{{ppoem}}</nowiki> much better than <nowiki><poem></nowiki>, apart from the overly large - and non-adjustable - indent it uses when wrapping lines. :::Regarding the your potential header templates, there are various ones I've come across that may be trying to do as you suggest (don't keep a record) the most recent one is called something like 'pseudoheading'. There's another one I've come across (don't recall the name) where you define the chapter heading and subheading sizes with a 1, 2, etc - and which is another example of inflated heading font sizes). I personally just stick to the simple options given in the 'help' pages. I dislike things where you need to use style sheets, noting comment about HTML programming above. Likewise, things like the truncated version of the header template, where I can't see what's going on 'under the bonnet' in terms of what it displays - or doesn't (not helped by poor help documentation). [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 10:04, 1 April 2023 (UTC) ::::{{para|start}} and {{para|end}} for {{tl|ppoem}} are required when its contents span multiple pages, but ''not'' when it is used within a single page; that is, when the value you give to those parameters are, respectively, <code>open</code> and <code>close</code>. When you do not give {{tl|ppoem}} these parameters, {{para|start|open}} and {{para|end|close}} are the default values it uses, and so specifying them explicitly is redundant. It should ''never'' be necessary to explicitly specify {{para|start|open}} and {{para|end|close}}. Other values of these two parameters are, obviously, needed when spanning pages.{{pbr}}Yeah, IndexStyles are not for normal people. We'll have to provide some nice cut&paste-able snippets for common scenarios and good user-friendly instructions. For example, tweaking the hanging indent for {{tl|ppoem}} should be possible with that method (and re-usable across texts that use it).

Where an author writes multiple works of the same name, all those titles belong on the general disambiguation page for the page title, rather than split off to a separate author related disambig page. The basic theory is that Wikidata allows one disambiguation page per title, and overtly if the works are different then it becomes irrelevant that they are by the same author. — [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 11:45, 20 April 2023 (UTC) :Along those same lines, we only enter '''one''' of either {{tl|similar}} or {{tl|versions}} to a page, never two, or one of each. Similarly on a disambiguation page itself, we would not use the template similar, we have been using a "see also" section. A versions page can use the template similar. — [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 11:54, 20 April 2023 (UTC) ::OK, noted.

I wasn't taking offence, just acknowledging your point and offering an explanation of why I'd been using both templates in cases when both are valid. Although there's a lot of 'help' documentation on the site, I sometimes find it difficult to find answers to specific questions, so tend to follow what I see others doing, with the attendant risk of copying things that aren't correct. Regards [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 05:24, 22 April 2023 (UTC) == Move rather than convert "version" pages to "disambiguation" pages == Hi. Would you please check the wikidata link prior to acting with something like [[special:diff/13139123|this change]]. The previous addition of the additional was wrong and there should have been the removal/revert of that previous addition, then a move of the "versions" page. What has happened is that we ended up with the the wikidata item being incorrectly assigned. If we had moved then the processes at Wikidata will have automatically update the item. Then the newly created redirect will be able to be converted to a disambiguation page and all is then fine. I have fixed up the items (imperfectly). Also when we move things, it should be a reminder to check for the underlying incoming links and update those as required to point to the right place(s). There are a number of scripts that can be switched on to see some of the background data, if interested, though they do add a bit of noise to the tops of pages. For me as an editor, the additional noise is worth it. — [[user:billinghurst|billinghurst]] ''<span style="font-size:smaller">[[user talk:billinghurst|sDrewth]]</span>'' 02:01, 22 April 2023 (UTC) == [[An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals]] == I stumbled across this text (excellent work as always, btw!) and noticed the notes regarding the errata etc. I think—and I stress that this is just my opinion—that any "self reference" to Wikisource and how it is made, in this case mentioning the specific templates used, is information for other Wikisource contributors and should go on the talk page. What we put in the notes field in the header should be for our readers, and should avoid all references to technical issues or other "Inside Baseball" stuff.

I'd be hard pressed to come up with an example of a text where I would support incorporating them, and I would in any case argue that {{tl|errata}} is the wrong way to do so. But I'll spare you that rant; it's an issue that would need a discussion on [[WS:S]] to settle in any case.

However, there's a reason that versions pages exist: to clear up that very type of doubt about which source you want to see the work in. I know here on Wikisource we don't tend to have a whole lot of works with more than one available version transcribed, but with most works multiple versions do exist (even if they're just reprints). So, if we were to imagine a scenario where all versions were elaborated on in both author pages and versions pages, we'd have author pages littered full of editions, which would clutter up the author pages. For example, imagine if we had [[Oliver Twist|all of this]] or [[The Scarlet Letter|all of this]] on author pages. This type of version clarification also would repeat the same long-form data across multiple pages (portal, author, etc.), and repetition should always be cut out of the workflow wherever possible. So that also isn't well aligned with the {{w|Don't repeat yourself|DRY}} principle. So, while there's currently no versions pages for those works, there will be one day, and I'm trying to prepare for the inevitable time when that will happen, as well as I can. Just wanted to explain my logic in purposefully not clarifying what collection works are held in, except in versions pages. (And in this case, [[Critical Woodcuts/Introductory#xiv|Sherman did mention]] that "the essays in this volume were ''all'' printed [in] the ''Herald Tribune''" previously. So we know that at least one other version definitely exists of that specific essay.) [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull|talk]]) 07:35, 1 January 2024 (UTC) : Oh...

[[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 20:41, 1 January 2024 (UTC) == Nop == {{tl|Nop}} is a brute-force template meant to force line breaks that don't normally show up in the transclusion. It doesn't have any effect unless there's a separate paragraph in the middle of prose, but on a second page, where the technology can't break it on its own. {{tl|c}} and most other templates on front matters are block elements, so they produce a line break by default. It also isn't needed at the end of a chapter because that's the end of the transcluded page, so there's nothing to force the transclusion to break from. Plus, even if it weren't, chapters almost universally start with headers, which also produce a line break by default. I've been noticing you have been adding these all over front matters, and it is a minor problem in each page because it adds in lots of HTML to the transcluded texts that don't have any semantic meaning or utility. I have already heard certain editors' "just in case the situation could change" and "it doesn't hurt anything" arguments for having these on all pages except prose that continues, but I'm not convinced by those arguments, since because of the HTML buildup, and because it also takes contributor time to add it to thousands of pages where it doesn't have any effect. It doesn't sound like much, since it's only 7 characters to type, but every ''second'' in this sea of works we have to get transcribe is significant at least to me. I try to cut out every second possible from my workflow. Since there's no policy or real guideline limiting the use of this template, I'd like to encourage or recommend that this not be done, especially to works I've proofread, to keep the HTML and wiki code clean and use-driven. But no one can enforce it, so it's more a recommendation on my part, mostly for faster proofreading/validation. Thanks for validating in general though. The typo corrections made by validators will be used to improve my OCR correction and typo detection software in the future.

However, I'm generally working on 20 to 30 works at any given time so I won't be solely devoting my efforts to yours. I tend to flit about, so some things I do quickly, while others take much longer (e.g. of my last two additions to the Wikisource main page, ''[[Ode Occasion'd by the Death of Mr. Thomson]]'' took less than an hour to complete (v. short work) and ''[[Joan of Arc (Southey)|Joan of Arc]]'' took 3.5 years (I was only really interested in the part of it that was written by [[author:Samuel Taylor Coleridge|Samuel Taylor Coleridge]]).

All of the chapters are there (see links from Table of Contents). The first 8 or 9 chapters are transcluded from transcribed pages, a number of others have a MATCH link at the top [I've not previously seen this, but if you click it, it should automatically generate and populate the pages for that chapter]. The final chapters don't seem to have this link but do contain the text of the complete chapter. This can be cut and pasted manually into the relevant pages (or you could get whoever did the match and split for the earlier chapters to do it - never done it myself although I think I have the necessary privileges). [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 09:47, 2 February 2024 (UTC) :I've contributed to some works where the individual page transcriptions have been generated by the 'match and split' gadgettry. They've mainly been derived from Gutenberg. In my experience, it's often not clear which edition of a work Gutenberg has used, and they're not averse to 'improving' works they transcribe (but do seem to record the changes they make). Also, the detection of the page breaks by the Match and Split software is a bit hit and miss. The practical upshot is that I've generally reverted to regenerating the OCR for each page (of the three options available the Google OCR is by far the best, but it seems to be partially blind to long dashes and some styles of quotation marks).{{pbr}}The other drawback with works generated by 'match and split' is that the pages have not generally had any header and/or footer content (not even empty templates).

There seems to be another set of ever more complicated templates which are too tiresome to use, and for reasons which are not clear to me either do or don't produce functioning links depending where they're used (e.g. index, page, etc.) And you (and others) apparently want to do everything using CSS style sheets, which is presumably fine for the bunch of coders who look after the site, but it isn't very 'user oriented' for the non-coding numpty (i.e. me) who just wants basic tools to achieve a good quality result. :::(6) There seems to be a few basic problems with templates. I was recently lectured on the use of 'nop', Despite its 'in principle' simple job of telling the system 'when transcluding this page, insert a line break before attaching the next one', in any number of circumstances it apparently generates 'too much HTML' (whatever that means). Rather than routinely applying a 'nop', I'm supposed to decide whether to use one depending on what's at the end of the page and whether it's a 'div' or a 'span' or it's a template with a built-in line break. Or I'm supposed to not use it at the end of chapters, or on front matter pages, although having seen the way some people transclude works, that doesn't seem wise. If this si such a problem perhaps a gadget is required to tell you that a 'nop' isn't needed.

To insist on using smart quotes because the rest of the work did would discourage future proofreaders, who refuse to use the things or can't, from participating. Last time I checked, English Wikipedia even disallows them outright in their titles for these reasons. The only exception to this rule I'd make is if we were preparing the Chicago Manual of Style or some similar work on grammar, where they may talk about the specifics of smart-quoting, but in just a regular work like a novel or anthology it's probably more practical to do away with them. We should just convert all the smart to non-smart in any work and have a general standard against their use, except in works where they're explicitly talked about in an academic context. ::: So, when non-smart is applied to a work that has smart, the smart should just be done away with.

Policy simply requires that one or the other be consistently applied in a work or series, and explicitly allows either on the project. For the Yale Shakespeare series, we use straight quotes.

I was wondering if you'd consider doing more proofing work on EB1911. I'm working through the EB1911 volumes and I'm currently working through vol. 20. I've found a useful technique to aid proofing by using [https://copyvios.toolforge.org/ Earwig's '''Copyvio Detector'''] and the pages at theodora.com/encyclopedia. As an example, the link below compares a random page in EB1911 vol.&nbsp;21 against the [https://theodora.com/encyclopedia/p2/pliocene.html "Pliocene" article at theodora.com/encyclopedia] :<br> https://copyvios.toolforge.org/?lang=en&project=wikisource&title=Page%3AEB1911+-+Volume+21.djvu%2F880&oldid=&use_engine=0&use_links=0&turnitin=0&action=compare&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftheodora.com%2Fencyclopedia%2Fp2%2Fpliocene.html It picks up several typo errors in the EB1911 page. Further proofing is still needed, of course, but it's a great help to use the generally very good quality text at theodora.com/encyclopedia (although the numbers often have errors). Any questions? Let me know. Hope you can do some further proofing in EB1911 with the above technique to help, maybe starting from volume 21? regards, [[User:DivermanAU|DivermanAU]] ([[User talk:DivermanAU|talk]]) 21:29, 19 July 2024 (UTC) == [[A treasury of war poetry, British and American poems of the world war, 1914-1919/The North Sea]] == Hello.

Do they not appear the same? Or is this related to something else (e.g. e-readers, or copy-pasting text)?

Regards, [[User:TeysaKarlov|TeysaKarlov]] ([[User talk:TeysaKarlov|talk]]) 23:43, 9 January 2025 (UTC) :Hi. As you say, the two things produce the same result. I think in some cases <nowiki>{{asc}}</nowiki> was applied to an upper case letter rather than a lower case one.{{pbr}} I suppose I have made the changes because, based on the help pages of various templates, I've formed the impression that the preferred thing to do is to transcribe the text as if it were unadorned English and then apply formatting. So, for example, <nowiki>{{initial}}</nowiki> produces:{{pbr}} :{{initial|W|hereas}} from <nowiki>{{initial|W|hereas}}</nowiki>.{{pbr}} :Or in older texts, where you might get: {{pbr}} :{{di|W}}Heras, it is better to use <nowiki>{{di|W}}{{uc|h}}eras</nowiki> rather than <nowiki>{{di|W}}Heras</nowiki>.{{pbr}} :I can't say that I'm very consistent with this. For a long time I took the view that if whoever produced the book used capitals, that's what they intended and so I'll just type what I see. After all, it's not as if the software can't distinguish 'A' from 'a', so it doesn't need to be told it's <nowiki>{{uc|a}}</nowiki>. However, if it's the case that someone wants just the basic text, shorn of all adornment, applying, for example, <nowiki>{{di|I}}{{sc|t}}</nowiki> would reduce back to 'It', whereas <nowiki>{{di|I}}{{asc|T}}</nowiki> would yield 'IT'. Or <nowiki>{{di|W}}Heras</nowiki>, would give 'WHereas' (which would look decidedly odd) rather than 'Whereas' from <nowiki>{{di|W}}{{uc|h}}ereas</nowiki>.{{pbr}} :I don't do this level of formatting for things like title pages, chapter headings or text IN CAPITALS FOR EMPHASIS, etc. If the text is in capitals, it's in capitals (e.g. CHAPTER not <nowiki>{{uc|Chapter}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>C{{uc|hapter}}</nowiki>. :I have seen comments that suggest that the 'preferred' way is better for conversion to e-book or e-reader formats.

I had not been able to assign an Author-identity with confidence. My best guess had been Algernon Charles Swinburne. Can you confirm from what source you learned of Swinburne's contribution to IDUB? [[User:Klarm768|Klarm768]] ([[User talk:Klarm768|talk]]) 09:13, 6 January 2021 (UTC) ****Hi there. I've been doing some transcriptions of Swinburne's work and modifying his 'author page'. While doing so I found a reference to the IDUB article on page 5 of ''The Bibliography of Swinburne: A bibliographical list arranged in chronological order of the published writings in verse and prose of Algernon Charles Swinburne (1857-1887)'' (1887), by George Redway. It is also mentioned several times in Volume 2 of the much more comprehensive two-volume bibliography by Thomas J. Wise (1920). The date given for the work is 1857 (the version of IDUB being transcribed is 1876). Both bibliographies are on 'Internet Archive'. Swinburne also wrote an article on Congreve for the 9th edition of Encyclopedia Britannica; both bibliographies are at pains to point out that the two articles are completely different.

I've been converting from Gutenberg which maintains the line-breaks and having them removed makes comparison more difficult. Are you able to keep the line-breaks in future edits? Thanks [[User:DivermanAU|DivermanAU]] ([[User talk:DivermanAU|talk]]) 19:15, 7 December 2019 (UTC) : Hello, as part of proofing any page, the first thing I do is run the 'clean up OCR' tool, which takes the line breaks out automatically. Could you explain a bit more about what you are doing? Are you comparing with Gutenberg to move the page on from proof-read to validated or are you checking my proof-reading? In my experience the transcriptions on Gutenberg are not without errors - as surely are my own efforts - even though I understand that they use multiple keying. Regards. [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 13:41, 8 December 2019 (UTC) :: Hi again, I forgot to check back earlier on this discussion. By leaving the line-breaks in-place it make it easier to compare to text from Gutenberg. I usually paste in converted text from Gutenberg and then use the "Show changes" button to do a comparison. That way, occasional errors from Gutenberg can be found and corrected (e.g. Gutenberg sometimes has typos and italics missing). Removing line-breaks makes makes manual proofing more difficult (as the lines don't match up) and it's very difficult to see what changes have been made when using "Compare selected revisions" in Revision history. Also, running your 'clean up OCR' tool has replaced agreed EB1911 standards for curly quotes and apostrophes (“” ’) with straight double and single quotes (" '). An example is your recent edits to [Page:EB1911 - Volume 07.djvu/791]. You also removed spacing in the Page Header which centers the text. Regards, [[User:DivermanAU|DivermanAU]] ([[User talk:DivermanAU|talk]]) 21:59, 6 October 2020 (UTC) :::Hello, Following on from your initial communication on this topic, I have tried to confine myself to either only editing pages already at 'proof-read' status, wherein I assumed it would be OK to remove all the page breaks before changing the status to 'validated', or if I edit 'not proof read' pages I actually read them, rather than compare them to something else that might not be correct. Having done so, I figured removing the page breaks wouldn't matter. :::I also change the sometimes various forms used in the page header (or add them if missing) with the EB1911 page header template. If things don't line up then presumably the template needs to be amended. :::Regarding the curly quotes, I'd been following the generic guidance in the Help, which says to use straight quotes. I don't know if you've come across it but there is a useful tool to change all straight quotes to curly ones. Details are associated with the 'Once a Week' transcription project (which also insists on using the curly quotes). It seems to work pretty well. The style guide is at Wikisource:Wikiproject Once a Week and the person who maintains it sent me the details (see User_talk:Chrisguise#curly_quotes_in_%22once_a_week%22_&_other_matters.). Regard, [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 23:01, 6 October 2020 (UTC) ::::Curly quotes are the EB1911 standard, see [[Wikisource:WikiProject 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Style Manual#Quoted_text|EB1911 Style Manual]]. Curly apostrophes ’ should also be used in EB1911 to distinguish them from the reversed comma ʽ (sometimes called rough breathing diacritic) in Arabic words in EB1911. Myself and other EB1911 editors prefer leaving the line-breaks in-place (that’s how they were originally scanned) because it makes manually proofing faster and it’s easier to see what changes have been made in an edit (as stated before). Regards, [[User:DivermanAU|DivermanAU]] ([[User talk:DivermanAU|talk]]) 23:49, 6 October 2020 (UTC) :I found a problem with the 'clean up OCR' tool you've been using, it converts curly quotes if they are literal “ ” to straight " " but not if html code e.g. (& ldquo;)<!-- hairspace added after "&" so html code displays--> is been used.

If you are going to mark an EB1911 page as Validated, please read the EB1911 Style manual first (particularly "Quoted text" & "Ranges" sections).

I've retained a list of transations (for now) on the Author page, but '''only''' for the translations that we actually have. But eventually, that too may go, since there seems to be a trend now towards not listing the editions on the Authors pages at all. Note, Medwin's ''Prometheus Bound'' was already listed, and I just added the ''Agamemnon''. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 05:37, 20 December 2019 (UTC) == Index pages == Best practice for Index pages: When the value is not a code such as "roman", or a numeric value for a page number, but instead is non-numeric text to be displayed in place of the usual number, then the value ought to be enclosed in quotes. Some character values will still work if the quotes are omitted, but best practice is to use the quotes for any text, including "Adv", "-", or such. The size of dash for blank pages, images, and the like is purely an aesthetic choice on the part of the initial proofreader. Some editors prefer "-" for blank pages as it minimizes the space taken up in display on the Index. Other editors will use the emdash to keep display size of all pages to roughly the same width, which can help with getting page numbers to line up in neat columns. But there's no reason to replace emdashes with hyphens if the initial editor made the choice to use emdashes. The value is there only on the index page is that page is not transcluded, and serves no real function except in the margin as a page number for transcluded pages (and which can then be linked to with a hashtag). There can be a reason to go the other way: to expand hyphens into emdashes, if there is content on that page, because a hyphen is small and harder to click on; but otherwise, it's purely up to the initial proofreader. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 02:34, 30 December 2019 (UTC) == Memoirs == If you upload Volume II or III, let me know and I’ll stop by to proofread a bit.

In reference to [[Special:Diff/9904025|this edit]], the {{tl|sp}} template was used to duplicate the letter spacing in the original used for emphasis. As an alternative to italics, spacing was sometimes increased for emphasis (perhaps because it didn't require using italic type <s>matrices</s> sorts, you just spaced out the normal ones). See [[w:Emphasis_(typography)#Letter-spacing]]. In my opinion, this is as much a part of the work as italics would have been.

One area of inconsistency related to the type of spacing you refer to, so I needed to decide one way or another whether to format them all, and I decided against. The main reason for doing this was that in most instances, if not all, it didn't seem to me to be for the purposes of emphasis, more as if text had been removed and the rest of the line spread out to make it the appropriate width.

To paraphrase something Billinghurst said, Wikisource is digitizing the words of the authors, not the typesetters’ peculiarities. : Most of the stylistic choices in the style guide were made by me, with some input from Encylopetey; I was revising a basis that was created some years ago by I’m not sure who, Mudbringer for one. I tried to imitate the magazine as much as possible while complying with standard Wikisource formatting and loosening up the tight spacing, and a few other changes to make things look better on the web: for instance, I inset margins for block-quotes whereas the original didn’t, only distinguishing them by smaller type. : Do you have any specific suggestions for improvements?

It seems to me on Wikisource there is a strong preference for suppressing redirects. But redirects can be incredibly useful, often in cases where we can't know what external or even offline links exist. In this case, [[What Katy Did Next/I.]] has existed for a dozen years. There's no way to know who may have linked directly to that chapter. It seems very useful to keep a redirect; and if there is a downside, I don't know what it is. Why would we want to suppress?

The decision as to which option to use depends on the likelihood of incoming links. If it's a well-known alternate title, or "what links here" gives links from multiple other works, then the full redirect gets left. If it's a likely target on a work that's been here a while, then we'll use a soft direct, which will be deleted in a few months' time. If it's an unlikely target, or is wrong, or is recent, then we'll supress the redirect. In this particular case, I believe ''What Katy Did Next/I.'' to be an unlikely target for an external link, but I'm quite prepared to hear argument in the opposite direction.

In my defence I would say the following. Firstly, in my experience, whether you use the <nowiki><br/></nowiki> option, the <nowiki><poem> </poem></nowiki> option or a mixture of the two makes no difference to how the pages appear when transcluded; it's more important that the <nowiki>{{center block/s}} and {{center block/e}}</nowiki> are used consistently, and text sizes, footnotes, etc follow a consistent pattern. Secondly, the <nowiki><br/></nowiki> method makes it more difficult to spot transcription errors in the punctuation at the end of lines. I find that in most poetry the OCR does a good job with the text but frequently gets the punctuation wrong (e.g. . or ,. ; or :, and with poor scans ? and !). Finally, I suppose I just try to make best use of the tools that are available to help, and find the <nowiki><poem> </poem></nowiki> method much quicker, in the absence of something to automatically put the line breaks it on every line. :I previously did some work on Volume 5, but only on the introductory pieces to some of the poems.

Please do not remove sizing from {smallrefs} template, in EB1911 we standardize on 90% ''i.e.'' {smallrefs|90%} like on [[Page:EB1911 - Volume 15.djvu/529]]. When editing a transcluded EB1911 article and adding {smallrefs|90%}, use {clear} beforehand if there are author initials on the last text line (this prevents the initials dropping down into the refs.); also add {rule} after {clear} if the last paragraph is fine print, thanks.

Just a little quibble over something that inhibits export readiness and accessibility: when you use ''px'' as a unit for something that contains text content, you are making an implicit assumption that everyone will have the same font size as you (by default in most browsers, this is 16px). This is not a safe assumption to make in the general case, as e-readers often have much larger font sizes and also visually-impaired users may have larger fonts too. This means that your ''px''-sized box becomes much too small for the text. However, if you use an equivalent ''em'' size, the box would scale in line with the system font size. For an actual example, you can see [[H:PXWIDTH]]. In general, the solution is simple: divide the ''px'' width you would use by 16 and use that number of ''em''s: e.g. 400px → 25em. This will look the same on a default browser, but will also work as the font size changes.

Thanks for the work you're doing - hopefully I've not made too many errors. :I don't have a specific system for dealing with titles (poems or otherwise). I do split the title to follow the design intent if different parts of it are in different font sizes or formats. For poems, if (unsplit) the total length of the title is less than the length of the longest verse, I tend to leave it on one line. If (unsplit) it is longer than the verses of the poem, I think it sometimes makes the overall layout (when transcluded) look 'off-centre', so I split it, depending on how it looks to me. :I won't die in a ditch over this - if you want to change things to make them all consistent, then feel free. :Regards, [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 13:19, 21 May 2022 (UTC) ::Thank you for the explanation, it does make sense to me.

Are you complaining that without wikidata, the inconsistency is only in the hundreds of thousands of links appearing at the version and author and portal pages! Your argument assumes a previous consistency that you are returning to which completely does not exist. Also, you just subst: it, so you made a not templated version of what the template was doing. ::As far as coding goes, I am pretty simple; resisting the urge to stray beyond the basic calls, not completely "getting" some of the terse code acrobatics that can be employed by the less simple. This person, however, has manually changed links for on thing on several wikis (the biology based subjects span the languages, so 20 link changes is not unthinkable). This human would rather change it just once; and would like English literature buffs to perhaps understand a more global use of wikis than they experience. ::One other mistake that you might be making is that you think that computers are complex. That is not true. Computers are the stupidest thing human beings have ever created.

Thanks for the reply, which to some extent reinforces my point. :I do think computers are very complex pieces of technology but I also agree they do a very simple thing (i.e. follow rules). :My comment about consistency was not to do with Wikidata, it was to do with whether the output the template produces (in terms of both content and format) is consistent with the general approach adopted on many author pages where 'manual' linking has been used (based on my own experience, pretty much all author pages use manual linking for everything other than major reference works, such as DNB or EB1911). :I'm not a computer programmer (other than dabbling with macros in Excel (before VBA), my only other experience of coding was with Fortran 4 in the early 1980's).

It's a text I've been working on for nearly five years. I was in the middle of going through the older bits to bring them in line with the more recently done bits, tidying up and standardising, etc.; and then transcluding everything in a standard way.

If you think I've messed them up some way (I'm far from infallible!), bring it up on talk somewhere and we'll hash it out. In particular, I've been more concerned with ''standardising'' the chapter headings than the fine details of ''formatting'' them, because then I can bot-adjust them in one go or change the formatting with CSS.

I see things in the state of progress that this one is in and think that, if I lend some assistance, it can be got over the line in terms of completing the proofread and transclusion, without really thinking about what has been done to get it to where it is in the first place. I should take time to review. :Like you I have things I've been working on for a long time (haven't made 5 years yet, but I only started doing this four years ago).

I have used the standard header template for the transclusion and followed your ToC set up. I also believe I've been consistent in applying the font size changes to chapter titles, so automated changes should still work. Just reverting the changes will loose some actual corrections, though (plus see the following observations). :(i) I didn't understand the need to increase the font size of headings beyond what is in the original work. It seems to me to create emphasis where there is none in the original. I just replicate what's in the printed work as best I can; (ii) I've done a reasonable amount of poetry transcription using <nowiki>{{ppoem}}</nowiki> and I've found that if you don't include both the 'start' and 'end' parameters it can lead to problems; (iii) the ppoem format isn't really working for the dialogue sections quoted in the notes. I only came across the <nowiki>{{playscript}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{rbstagedir}}</nowiki> templates recently, and this is the first time that I've tried them, but they seem to work reasonably well. Regards, [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 09:12, 31 March 2023 (UTC) :P.S. Regarding the font size thing, lots of people seem to do this.

I probably did it myself before I found a Firefox add-in that allows you to measure features on web pages. [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 09:13, 31 March 2023 (UTC) ::No need to revert. As you say, that tends to throw the baby out with the bathwater. I have lots of fixing still to do on this before it's done.{{pbr}}One of those things is the headings, where the triple-xl etc. stuff was done in 2018 and now stood out to me as egregious. For the more recent parts I'd standardised on c+xl for the chapter headings, and c+xl+asc for the subheading. Mainly because I tend to use c+xl as a decent approximation, "close enough", for most texts, and was planning to assess the need for further tweaks in a last pass over it. cf. a recent WS:S discussion (that I'm too lazy to dig up and link just now) I'm toying with the idea of creating some generic "chapter heading" templates that have really basic default formatting, but contains hooks so you can apply an Index stylesheet to them to get the details just right. This particular text was one of my main motivations for that.{{pbr}}The play texts—the ones with speech prefixes—are another bit that is on my todo list to fix. I'm fairly sure I can do it with CSS, in which case I'll get all of them in one fell swoop. But in any case, they're a known issue and I'd just left them for this fixup pass after finishing the transcription.{{pbr}}{{tl|ppoem}} should under no circumstances need explicit start/end params stating the defaults (it should literally do ''nothing'' except make the template syntax more complicated). If you run across any instances where that's needed then it's a bug and we should fix it. Ppoem isn't really designed to do play scripts just now, but I'm investigating ways it could be adopted to do so (possibly by giving it a {{tl|pplay}} sister template). It might be too complicated to try to address all the myriad ways play scripts are formatted, but I think a large proportion of cases could probably be handled the same way ppoem does it. {{tl|playscript}}, {{tl|playscript2}}, and {{tl|rbstagedir}} are decent attempts, but they still suffer from a lot of the problems (complicated to use, fragile and prone to breakage, unexpected and non-intuitive behaviours, etc.) that made {{tl|ppoem}} necessary for poems.{{pbr}}In any case… Let me finish honing up the rough edges and polishing it a bit, and then I'll give you a ping.

[[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 10:31, 31 March 2023 (UTC) :::Hi, OK with the not reverting and awaiting your ping. :::As I don't have any HTML programming knowledge (or much other programming knowledge for that matter) I can't really comment on the robustness or otherwise of different templates (I just want them to work for me). :::I was puzzled by your comment about the 'ppoem' start / end parameters. They are required where the poetry spans more than one page - if you don't it doesn't transclude properly. If you do it as separate blocks on adjacent pages, the width of the text block varies depending on verse length and, as the block is centered by default, the sections of text don't left align on transclusion. Likewise, if you have poetry in a footnote in a poem it seems to be essential to use these parameters (two of my long term projects are [[Hudibras]], by [[author:Samuel Butler (1612-1680)|Samuel Butler]], and [[The Dunciad]] by [[author:Alexander Pope|Alexander Pope]] - footnotes galore!) Given this, I have defaulted to always using the parameters every time I use <nowiki>{{ppoem}}</nowiki>, with all of the possible combinations in my clipboard manager. :::I do find <nowiki>{{ppoem}}</nowiki> much better than <nowiki><poem></nowiki>, apart from the overly large - and non-adjustable - indent it uses when wrapping lines. :::Regarding the your potential header templates, there are various ones I've come across that may be trying to do as you suggest (don't keep a record) the most recent one is called something like 'pseudoheading'. There's another one I've come across (don't recall the name) where you define the chapter heading and subheading sizes with a 1, 2, etc - and which is another example of inflated heading font sizes). I personally just stick to the simple options given in the 'help' pages. I dislike things where you need to use style sheets, noting comment about HTML programming above. Likewise, things like the truncated version of the header template, where I can't see what's going on 'under the bonnet' in terms of what it displays - or doesn't (not helped by poor help documentation). [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 10:04, 1 April 2023 (UTC) ::::{{para|start}} and {{para|end}} for {{tl|ppoem}} are required when its contents span multiple pages, but ''not'' when it is used within a single page; that is, when the value you give to those parameters are, respectively, <code>open</code> and <code>close</code>. When you do not give {{tl|ppoem}} these parameters, {{para|start|open}} and {{para|end|close}} are the default values it uses, and so specifying them explicitly is redundant. It should ''never'' be necessary to explicitly specify {{para|start|open}} and {{para|end|close}}. Other values of these two parameters are, obviously, needed when spanning pages.{{pbr}}Yeah, IndexStyles are not for normal people. We'll have to provide some nice cut&paste-able snippets for common scenarios and good user-friendly instructions.

The previous addition of the additional was wrong and there should have been the removal/revert of that previous addition, then a move of the "versions" page. What has happened is that we ended up with the the wikidata item being incorrectly assigned. If we had moved then the processes at Wikidata will have automatically update the item. Then the newly created redirect will be able to be converted to a disambiguation page and all is then fine. I have fixed up the items (imperfectly). Also when we move things, it should be a reminder to check for the underlying incoming links and update those as required to point to the right place(s). There are a number of scripts that can be switched on to see some of the background data, if interested, though they do add a bit of noise to the tops of pages.

However, there's a reason that versions pages exist: to clear up that very type of doubt about which source you want to see the work in. I know here on Wikisource we don't tend to have a whole lot of works with more than one available version transcribed, but with most works multiple versions do exist (even if they're just reprints). So, if we were to imagine a scenario where all versions were elaborated on in both author pages and versions pages, we'd have author pages littered full of editions, which would clutter up the author pages. For example, imagine if we had [[Oliver Twist|all of this]] or [[The Scarlet Letter|all of this]] on author pages. This type of version clarification also would repeat the same long-form data across multiple pages (portal, author, etc.), and repetition should always be cut out of the workflow wherever possible. So that also isn't well aligned with the {{w|Don't repeat yourself|DRY}} principle. So, while there's currently no versions pages for those works, there will be one day, and I'm trying to prepare for the inevitable time when that will happen, as well as I can. Just wanted to explain my logic in purposefully not clarifying what collection works are held in, except in versions pages. (And in this case, [[Critical Woodcuts/Introductory#xiv|Sherman did mention]] that "the essays in this volume were ''all'' printed [in] the ''Herald Tribune''" previously. So we know that at least one other version definitely exists of that specific essay.) [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull|talk]]) 07:35, 1 January 2024 (UTC) : Oh...

[[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 20:41, 1 January 2024 (UTC) == Nop == {{tl|Nop}} is a brute-force template meant to force line breaks that don't normally show up in the transclusion. It doesn't have any effect unless there's a separate paragraph in the middle of prose, but on a second page, where the technology can't break it on its own. {{tl|c}} and most other templates on front matters are block elements, so they produce a line break by default. It also isn't needed at the end of a chapter because that's the end of the transcluded page, so there's nothing to force the transclusion to break from. Plus, even if it weren't, chapters almost universally start with headers, which also produce a line break by default. I've been noticing you have been adding these all over front matters, and it is a minor problem in each page because it adds in lots of HTML to the transcluded texts that don't have any semantic meaning or utility. I have already heard certain editors' "just in case the situation could change" and "it doesn't hurt anything" arguments for having these on all pages except prose that continues, but I'm not convinced by those arguments, since because of the HTML buildup, and because it also takes contributor time to add it to thousands of pages where it doesn't have any effect. It doesn't sound like much, since it's only 7 characters to type, but every ''second'' in this sea of works we have to get transcribe is significant at least to me. I try to cut out every second possible from my workflow. Since there's no policy or real guideline limiting the use of this template, I'd like to encourage or recommend that this not be done, especially to works I've proofread, to keep the HTML and wiki code clean and use-driven. But no one can enforce it, so it's more a recommendation on my part, mostly for faster proofreading/validation. Thanks for validating in general though.

I tend to flit about, so some things I do quickly, while others take much longer (e.g. of my last two additions to the Wikisource main page, ''[[Ode Occasion'd by the Death of Mr. Thomson]]'' took less than an hour to complete (v. short work) and ''[[Joan of Arc (Southey)|Joan of Arc]]'' took 3.5 years (I was only really interested in the part of it that was written by [[author:Samuel Taylor Coleridge|Samuel Taylor Coleridge]]). [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 09:38, 2 February 2024 (UTC) :I've had a look at the work and it seems to be in an odd state. All of the chapters are there (see links from Table of Contents). The first 8 or 9 chapters are transcluded from transcribed pages, a number of others have a MATCH link at the top [I've not previously seen this, but if you click it, it should automatically generate and populate the pages for that chapter]. The final chapters don't seem to have this link but do contain the text of the complete chapter. This can be cut and pasted manually into the relevant pages (or you could get whoever did the match and split for the earlier chapters to do it - never done it myself although I think I have the necessary privileges). [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 09:47, 2 February 2024 (UTC) :I've contributed to some works where the individual page transcriptions have been generated by the 'match and split' gadgettry. They've mainly been derived from Gutenberg. In my experience, it's often not clear which edition of a work Gutenberg has used, and they're not averse to 'improving' works they transcribe (but do seem to record the changes they make). Also, the detection of the page breaks by the Match and Split software is a bit hit and miss. The practical upshot is that I've generally reverted to regenerating the OCR for each page (of the three options available the Google OCR is by far the best, but it seems to be partially blind to long dashes and some styles of quotation marks).{{pbr}}The other drawback with works generated by 'match and split' is that the pages have not generally had any header and/or footer content (not even empty templates). I don't know whether the software can't do this, or whether whoever has done the work didn't think to do it.

Hence my comment, which may have been a bit brusque but I was brassed off, so sorry for that. Still am. :::(2) Unless you have some automated way of generating tables from the very poor OCR, the amount of effort to produce the TOC either way appears to me to be much the same. :::(3) I don't recall any comms between us about dotted templates and associated problems. :::(4) If there are problems with TOC templates, it begs the question why they aren't being fixed or the templates and associated guidance removed from service. :::(5) I use the basic TOC templates because they are simple to use and, on the face of it, work. There seems to be another set of ever more complicated templates which are too tiresome to use, and for reasons which are not clear to me either do or don't produce functioning links depending where they're used (e.g. index, page, etc.) And you (and others) apparently want to do everything using CSS style sheets, which is presumably fine for the bunch of coders who look after the site, but it isn't very 'user oriented' for the non-coding numpty (i.e. me) who just wants basic tools to achieve a good quality result. :::(6) There seems to be a few basic problems with templates. I was recently lectured on the use of 'nop', Despite its 'in principle' simple job of telling the system 'when transcluding this page, insert a line break before attaching the next one', in any number of circumstances it apparently generates 'too much HTML' (whatever that means). Rather than routinely applying a 'nop', I'm supposed to decide whether to use one depending on what's at the end of the page and whether it's a 'div' or a 'span' or it's a template with a built-in line break. Or I'm supposed to not use it at the end of chapters, or on front matter pages, although having seen the way some people transclude works, that doesn't seem wise. If this si such a problem perhaps a gadget is required to tell you that a 'nop' isn't needed.

Wikisource was referring to a different, later Wordsworth publication of poems. In trying to correct the situation, I made an awful mess. I read everything suggested, and I am familiar with Billingshurst's guides and to be cautious. I spent hours on it, trying to fix it, then trying to repair the broken links I created. I don't know how to repair my mess. Would you prefer if I just reverted everything I did? I'm glad to do that if it will make the situation easier to deal with.

[[User:FeralOink|FeralOink]] ([[User talk:FeralOink|talk]]) 23:22, 28 February 2024 (UTC) :I've done a search for all your edits associated with the two editions of the work. My best guess is that reverting some of your changes would be the thing to do (but note the following). {{pbr}} :You should note that there are already index pages for the 1807 edition at [[Index:Poems, in two volumes (IA poemsintwovolume01word).pdf]] and [[Index:Poems, in two volumes (IA poemsintwovolume00word).pdf]], which I uploaded in 2021 but haven't done much with since. I have appropriated some of the pages you created, rather than having to delete them, for the top level [[Poems, in Two Volumes (Wordsworth, 1807)]] and volume level [[Poems, in Two Volumes (Wordsworth, 1807)/Volume 1]] transclusions associated with these two index pages. I have also transcribed 'My heart leaps up' (see [[Poems, in Two Volumes (Wordsworth, 1807)/Volume 2/'My heart leaps up when I behold']]), so if you want to link to it from Wikipedia you can. I've added it to the versions page at [[My Heart Leaps Up]].{{pbr}} :I've reverted a couple of things to put the 1815 edition back together, at the top level, and reverted the changed links to 'My Heart Leaps Up'.

In the case of Wordsworth, most of the links are to Wikisource version pages anyway, which (should) clearly state the publication and date where each version is from.

I do not know how many other works might be affected. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 02:34, 25 March 2024 (UTC) ::: There are lots of problems with smart quotes anyway, including the fact that many environments and keyboards (such as my own) don't support them, and the fact that they increase the margin of error significantly because there are more factors to consider when proofreading, for very little overall gain. To insist on using smart quotes because the rest of the work did would discourage future proofreaders, who refuse to use the things or can't, from participating. Last time I checked, English Wikipedia even disallows them outright in their titles for these reasons. The only exception to this rule I'd make is if we were preparing the Chicago Manual of Style or some similar work on grammar, where they may talk about the specifics of smart-quoting, but in just a regular work like a novel or anthology it's probably more practical to do away with them. We should just convert all the smart to non-smart in any work and have a general standard against their use, except in works where they're explicitly talked about in an academic context. ::: So, when non-smart is applied to a work that has smart, the smart should just be done away with.

Provided, of course, that people pay attention to the standards applied for a given work.

I held your opinion with regard to smart quotes (and still prefer straight quotes mostly), but since the community decided to allow smart quotes, and that allowance has been incorporated into policy, there is no point in discussing the superiority of one to the exclusion of the other. Policy simply requires that one or the other be consistently applied in a work or series, and explicitly allows either on the project. For the Yale Shakespeare series, we use straight quotes. For ''The Complete Poetical Works of John Greenleaf Whittier'', the editors adding poetry chose to use smart quotes, so smart quotes are to be applied consistently per community agreement. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 21:42, 25 March 2024 (UTC) == Elmer Gantry == I noticed you were working on this novel at [[Index:Elmer Gantry (1927).djvu]].

Do they not appear the same? Or is this related to something else (e.g. e-readers, or copy-pasting text)? I would have perhaps naively thought both asc and sc treat lower case symbols in the same fashion. Again, just curious, and thanks for helping with the transclusion, among all your other work on Wikisource. Regards, [[User:TeysaKarlov|TeysaKarlov]] ([[User talk:TeysaKarlov|talk]]) 23:43, 9 January 2025 (UTC) :Hi. As you say, the two things produce the same result. I think in some cases <nowiki>{{asc}}</nowiki> was applied to an upper case letter rather than a lower case one.{{pbr}} I suppose I have made the changes because, based on the help pages of various templates, I've formed the impression that the preferred thing to do is to transcribe the text as if it were unadorned English and then apply formatting. So, for example, <nowiki>{{initial}}</nowiki> produces:{{pbr}} :{{initial|W|hereas}} from <nowiki>{{initial|W|hereas}}</nowiki>.{{pbr}} :Or in older texts, where you might get: {{pbr}} :{{di|W}}Heras, it is better to use <nowiki>{{di|W}}{{uc|h}}eras</nowiki> rather than <nowiki>{{di|W}}Heras</nowiki>.{{pbr}} :I can't say that I'm very consistent with this. For a long time I took the view that if whoever produced the book used capitals, that's what they intended and so I'll just type what I see. After all, it's not as if the software can't distinguish 'A' from 'a', so it doesn't need to be told it's <nowiki>{{uc|a}}</nowiki>. However, if it's the case that someone wants just the basic text, shorn of all adornment, applying, for example, <nowiki>{{di|I}}{{sc|t}}</nowiki> would reduce back to 'It', whereas <nowiki>{{di|I}}{{asc|T}}</nowiki> would yield 'IT'. Or <nowiki>{{di|W}}Heras</nowiki>, would give 'WHereas' (which would look decidedly odd) rather than 'Whereas' from <nowiki>{{di|W}}{{uc|h}}ereas</nowiki>.{{pbr}} :I don't do this level of formatting for things like title pages, chapter headings or text IN CAPITALS FOR EMPHASIS, etc. If the text is in capitals, it's in capitals (e.g. CHAPTER not <nowiki>{{uc|Chapter}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>C{{uc|hapter}}</nowiki>. :I have seen comments that suggest that the 'preferred' way is better for conversion to e-book or e-reader formats.

I agree that unadorned English with formatting certainly looks better in your WHereas example, and so I can see why making the input to either sc or asc lower case for all chapter headings makes sense. I also had a "notion" that I had once read a reason why the preferred way is better, but also could not remember details. ::As for the quotation marks, I did start proofreading with curly quotes, so I have been adjusting a few of your pages. I realise this is unlike me, as I usually consider straight quotes sufficient, but given that it is a slightly higher profile work, that the OCR gave at least half-curly quotes by default and finally that TE(æ)A,ea. uploaded the text (who is a curly quote fan), I figured I would use curly quotes for a change. I plan to read through and validate the last two chapters (I had never read All Quiet on the Western Front until now), so I will adjust any stragglers. ::Regards, [[User:TeysaKarlov|TeysaKarlov]] ([[User talk:TeysaKarlov|talk]]) 22:40, 10 January 2025 (UTC) == Orphan categories == Hi, these categories you created are lost in the tree as they don't have parents.

Many of those I come across are within easy striking distance of completion, although the quality of the transcription/formatting work varies a lot.{{pbr}}According to the project page, the National Library of Scotland chapbook collection was uploaded, in part, as a means to improve the OCR of their library of scans, so presumably on completion the text then gets exported back to them.

However, I don't know if the project is still 'active' from their point of view.{{pbr}}The NLS project page mentions that their collection has in excess of 3,000 items (with the implication that they uploaded them all(?)). However, I've never come across any progress stats for the project, so have no view of how far there is to go. I've not kept a personal record but I've pushed many to 'Done' and have left more with only the title page remaining to validate (having moved it to 'proofread' from 'problematic' by adding (along with @[[User:Sp1nd01|Sp1nd01]]) the image that is generally wanting).

I've no idea whether there is a policy on it, but the vast majority of transcriptions I see, and all the ones I've done do not transclude blank pages. Transcluding nothing seems a rather pointless activity, and I don't know why anyone would consider including blank pages in the percentages you quote. I believe that the low percentage on English Wikisource is due to the very large number of works on here that do not have scan backing (e.g. texts ripped from Gutenberg or poetry websites). [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise#top|talk]]) 15:30, 1 June 2025 (UTC) : +1 to Chrisguise; yes, it is standard practice; and {{tl|PR_PERCENT}} anyhow counts {{tl|PR_TEXTS}}/{{tl|ALL_TEXTS}}, both counting mainspace pages (excluding a few things like dab and so on), not transcluding a Page: namespace page changes nothing to that number. : Looking at the charts, our problem is probably that we were too slow to adapt to PRP. Most of our additions continued to be non-transcluded stuff until roughly 2011, and we haven't done a major drive to remove them since; whereas FRWS started actively reducing the count of them in about 2009. : Also, as we're larger, we've got more stuff to clean up (by the time people started using PRP more, we had 201k of them; whereas FRWS had 41k of them. : Then we also have the issue of various bot-assisted dumps that were (according to me) a terrible idea. Thinking notably of [[User:BenchBot]] that mass-created about 50k court cases (which still constitute '''more than half''' of our transclusionless pages) from other websites. : And in general, we've had quite a lot of copypaste dumping of recent texts just because they're PD and low-hanging fruit (is already available as text on the web) that leaves me dubitative.

The NLS had the (mad) idea that they would get all of them scanned, proofread and validated during the COVID lockdowns in 2020. It was supposed to be a useful task that their staff could do remotely. With a variable quality of scan quality, proofreading, naming conventions, and many duplicates, the work that you have been doing to move some of them through to validated and transcluded is nothing short of superb. It's only in the past few days while trying to sort out the mess from March's Lua error in the Indexes that I realised the extent of what you've been doing. Thank you, [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 08:32, 9 June 2025 (UTC) :Thanks, it's always nice to be acknowledged. The efforts of @[[User:Sp1nd01|Sp1nd01]] on the images also need to be recognised.{{pbr}}I originally chanced upon the NLS chapbooks through the 'random transcription' link on the main page. At the time, they seemed to offer the possibility of 'quick wins' for getting works to completion (fully validated and transcluded). Unfortunately, as you point out, the variable quality of the scans (or, more often, printing), proofreading, naming conventions, etc. (not forgetting lack of formatting) means that the wins haven't always been as quick as one might have liked.

I started doing transcription on FreeBMD.org (which I still do) and FreeCen.org. From there I tried my hand at various projects on Zooniverse (weather records, 1961 census data, but mostly - and most enjoyably - the Newdigate papers as part of the 'Shakespeare's World' project). I then fell into doing stuff on Wikisource. My approach hasn't been very structured, and I tend to have many things on the go at any given time, which I flit between like a demented butterfly. I occasionally get things wrong but there seem to be a lot of people out there waiting to pounce when I do, so these things get straightened out. I've also done quite a lot in terms of creating new Author pages and Versions pages, or adding to existing ones. I generally use the Internet Archive site to find links for works and most of the books I've added have been chance encounters while doing so. My transcribing activities have ranged across the centuries, but if anything I have a bit of a bias toward stuff from the Restoration period through to the late 18th century. The lists below only include those works where I've made a significant contribution. I've not kept a record where I've only contributed a few pages. Similarly, I've done a lot of work to fix many of the National Library of Scotland chapbooks but I've not listed these either. {{graphic rule}} The following sections are each in approximately chronological order of completion. ===Complete productions (upload, creation of Index and complete proofread or validation)=== ====Non-fiction==== * <span style="background-color: yellow;

Is it possible for someone else to do the proofreading, and you run the QT.py script? In any case, would you be willing to do [https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/001904373 this] work? It doesn’t seem to me to be particularly difficult (although I would also like to know what sorts of text make QT work difficult). Thank you. [[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] ([[User talk:TE(æ)A,ea.|talk]]) 21:04, 10 November 2023 (UTC) : {{ping|TE(æ)A,ea.}} Ah, some interest! Well, I'm sure you're familiar with the WikiProject Film draft system already. It is structured kind of similarly to that system, except I've done quite a lot more work in coding this new QuickTranscribe system. Here's a more detailed description of the project: [[User:PseudoSkull/QuickTranscribe]] Basically, QT aims to eliminate all possible tedious or repetitive elements from the transcription process, streamlining everything onto a single page workspace, where all the material is split out from there, into various places like Wikidata, Commons, and Wikisource itself across multiple namespaces. : I am proud to say that as of right now, the system works very well with ~ 400 pg. novels or less, at least novels from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It can also do single-page works (like children's books or essays), and the functionality for short story collections, and in theory poetry or essay collections, has gone a long way as well. But for works that have more complicated structures, such as many esoteric kinds of nonfiction or academic works, the system struggles a lot as of right now. : If you would like to try using this system, you would be the first person besides myself to ever try it. Despite having gone further than I could have ever imagined since its inception in May, the project is still in its early stages. So maybe you could consider yourself an "early tester". If you'd like to try using QT and see how you like it, I can make a short video tutorial/demo for it sometime this week for you, to show the basics of how I do it, and I'll try and write more documentation as well. Would you be interested in that? : As for the scan you sent me, it seems like that work should be doable at a glance. I'll look into it. Although, do you know why it starts at ~ Chapter 7? Is it a second volume? I didn't read the fairly long intro and preface (because I'm going to sleep soon), maybe those go into why. [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull#top|talk]]) 23:16, 10 November 2023 (UTC) :*I am interested, so some documentation would be nice. (To be honest, a video would also help, if that wouldn’t be too much work.) As for the book, it is a translation of a manuscript, the beginning, end, and some of the middle of the which were destroyed over time (according to the preface). [[User:TE(æ)A,ea.|TE(æ)A,ea.]] ([[User talk:TE(æ)A,ea.|talk]]) 05:14, 11 November 2023 (UTC) ::: {{ping|TE(æ)A,ea.}} Got it. I'll see what I can do for you, and I'll get back to you soon. ::: Just so you know, I have plans to one day release a frontend web application for QuickTranscribe before releasing it for general use on Wikisource. I assume I will probably be able to get it hosted on Toolforge (the Commons IA uploader tool and the Wikidata matching game are also hosted there, for example), and if I can't I'll host it on my own server. But for now, the way it has to be done is through a user subpage on Wikisource itself. [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull#top|talk]]) 15:32, 11 November 2023 (UTC) ::::Toolforge is essentially self-service. See [[wikitech:Help:Toolforge|Help:Toolforge]] and [[wikitech:Help:Toolforge/Quickstart|Help:Toolforge/Quickstart]]. If you're building tools related to Wikimedia projects I highly recommend it. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 20:13, 11 November 2023 (UTC) *(1) ''The Robinson Family'' should be on its way. (2) Is the scan of the ''Rhymes'' good?

(2) It seems perfect from a glance, thanks. (3) A frontend for QT is currently under development.

I’ve seen a lot of easy-to-do-but-time-consuming works which I think QT would work well for, or at least for text generation, but I haven’t looked through your GitHub enough to be able to figure it out.

I apologize, as you might have been able to tell I've been very inactive lately due to IRL obligations and I abandoned most of my longstanding projects, but expect that I'll start working on Wikisource frontends and more user-friendly functionality fairly soon. The code is messy as it currently stands. Thanks for reaching out! I'm glad this is still desired. :) [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema#top|talk]]) 00:22, 6 August 2024 (UTC) :::You'd also have me interested for a QT frontend &/or explanation; I myself have been doing some stuff to automatize, but you've done much more, and I have a growing feeling that a lot of stuff has been rewritten multiple times by different people with minimal variation (e.g. [[User:Alien333/poemise.js|this]] and [[User:SnowyCinema/QT#POEM|that]] or [[User:Alien333/transclude.js|that thing]] and QT's transclusion). It'd be a good idea to try maintain a centralized listing scripts and other tools to use those already existing (maybe adding some functionalities by the way) instead of making the same thing over and over. For example, we must have at least ten variants of a script/program to unwrap text lying around. — [[User:Alien333|Alien333]] ( <span style="display:inline-block;line-height:75%;font-size:75%;position:relative;top:.3em">[[Special:Contributions/Alien333|what I did]]<br/>[[User talk:Alien333|why I did it wrong]]</span> ) 19:51, 28 August 2024 (UTC) == Proper == The word "proper" has been thrown around a lot in conversation today without any basis that I can see. Our [[Help:Disambiguation]] page has no statement of any kind about "proper" naming for such pages. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 23:41, 22 December 2023 (UTC) : {{ping|EncycloPetey}} That's not a good thing. We need more consistency in the logic of our mainspace pages here. Our lack of coherent hierarchical structure is one of our greatest downfalls, one that I deal with constantly with lots of headache. I guess the move just seemed to make sense to me in that moment. But, have it your way. [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull#top|talk]]) 23:45, 22 December 2023 (UTC) :: There have been several prior attempts to standardize naming on mainspace pages, and all have failed to achieve anything like consensus. If you think a particular form is likely to be useful, it can always be created as a redirect to the actual page, without necessitating a move. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 23:48, 22 December 2023 (UTC) ::: {{ping|EncycloPetey}} Apologies for the rules oversight on my part. I've been modifying probably hundreds of disambiguation pages in the past week or month, so hopefully you'll consider this my pass for a slip-up. It wouldn't have been the way I named the page if I transcribed the work, but I'm not gonna fight tooth and nail over that minor page-naming disagreement. ::: But I do think it is important that we improve our naming conventions here. For any site with large amounts of data, having a good consistent structure is key. I know we can't ever make it 100% consistent, but we can certainly get close—and Wikipedia and Wiktionary aren't 100% consistent either, but at least they try. One day, I think there will be a change in this regard, but obviously not today. It will probably require a larger community than we have now for more users to actually feel the pains. [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull#top|talk]]) 23:57, 22 December 2023 (UTC) :::: Part of our issue results from the huge number of things published, in combination with the variability of title forms. My principle has been, if we can use the actual title, to do so, and only create artificial names where the actual names of multiple publications conflict. Sorting out the Shakespeare play titles was one of those times, and I posted my intentions before starting the changes, to be sure there would be no blowback. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 00:09, 23 December 2023 (UTC) == Authors with no eligible works == Just a tip: for cases like the recent author pages for authors with no eligible works, it's often worthwhile to take the issue up with the contributor on their talk page first. Most of the time they're created out of ignorance and after a quick check they can be speedied without needing a community discussion, minimum times the thread must be open (one week for proposed deletions, two for copyright issues), and so forth. [[User:Xover|Xover]] ([[User talk:Xover|talk]]) 21:44, 24 December 2023 (UTC) : {{ping|Xover}} Alright, but I didn't follow up because EncycloPetey started that discussion on the user talk page before I got the chance to. [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull#top|talk]]) 21:57, 24 December 2023 (UTC) == [[Page:Little Elephant's Christmas, story (IA littleelephantsc00wash).pdf/18]] == Hi, I changed it because, in my view, this is covered in intro and point 7, first bullet, of [[Wikisource:Style_guide#Formatting]]. Especially the part "''as well as incremental spacing found within justified text.''", "''knowing that we are trying to reproduce works for modern readership, not provide facsimiles of the time and place.''". The ''tempo'' of the sentence and the similarity with the rest of the sentence shows it is clearly a typographical artifact to keep the text justified. At least, this is how I interpret the Style guide. [[User:Mpaa|Mpaa]] ([[User talk:Mpaa|talk]]) 18:30, 30 December 2023 (UTC) : {{ping|Mpaa}} It's unclear to me why Washburne's typist decided to use spaces between the hyphens there. One view is that maybe it was purposeful—that it is to represent a slower transition between the "clatters" than the "tromps". Or maybe it's just a typographical error (although for that typo to appear 3 times in a row is strange). Although, (and this would be an argument for your side), it could just be to take up space on the page on purpose to fill a line, which would not be something we'd want to replicate. But we will never truly know the motivations, because everyone involved all died decades ago.

Since we didn't keep in the sound, I think we're fine. : I am concerned about the timestamps though, possibly being out of sync. Are they?

It is about [[:Category:Astrobiology]], the scientific search for such life and investigation of the origins of life.

It does not cover extraterrestrial life, not even in speculation. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 04:06, 11 January 2024 (UTC) : {{ping|EncycloPetey}} Well I created it for both science and science fiction, since there can be scientific discussion about the possibility of alien life. The work is called ''Concepts for Detection of Extraterrestrial Life'', so I thought there was at least intent to discuss it. But I'll leave you, our local "expert" on the work, to determine if that's appropriate. [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull#top|talk]]) 04:10, 11 January 2024 (UTC) :: Most library cataloging systems distinguish between the science of something and fictional stories about it. That way, economic studies of poverty and the novels of Charles Dickens aren't put into the same category. They're typically distinguished by terminology in the Library of Congress with formats like "Poverty" vs "Poverty—Fiction", and here we have categories like "X in fiction" to mimic that. We don't always have such a split, but then again, our categories are not as rigorous or as frequently used as they should be. Many works are uncategorized at all, or poorly so. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 04:47, 11 January 2024 (UTC) ::: Well, all are works about poverty either way, so there should be a base category overarching them at least.

Somewhere in the archives there is at least one discussion on putting in warnings for various offensiveness. The conclusion was to continue to not use them. If you feel that we should look to change this, we'll need a full discussion on the Scriptorium. However, I would see no objection to a category for these films as a possible way of flagging them. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 04:57, 12 January 2024 (UTC) : {{ping|Beeswaxcandle}} In ''real life'' I'm getting people telling me that I'm intrinsically supporting the messages or themes of the films I transcribe by transcribing them. Obviously, the fact that I spent the time to transcribe the films in question isn't something I go around telling everyone, but, I have been told by some (again mostly IRL) to be careful which works I transcribe, because of the impacts it may have on my personal reputation and/or the course of history from here on out. : It's clear to me that there's a lack of understanding among the general public about the nature of our site and our transcriptions. And you have to keep in mind, most of our readers ''are'' from the general public, and know nothing about our concepts of neutrality or the like, and aren't spending time reading terms of service, mountains of editor policies and guidelines, or learning about the nature of our community. : So, while I get the sentiment that we want to stay on the edge of neutrality whenever possible here in the wiki-sphere, in practical terms people often see the addition of a work to a collection like ours, especially with the amount of time we have to invest in our transcription process, as alarming when some offensive material is in it. Especially since there are a handful of works where the entire message of the work is extremely bigoted at its core as is the case with ''The Birth'', or that one infamous anti-gay propaganda film from the 1960s that's also PD. Think of the vast Klan literature, Nazi literature, or Ford's ''The International Jew'', as some print examples. : In truth, I think all transcriptions should be treated as equally great additions to our collection, even if the material in them is abhorrent. A great diversity (in opinions, perspectives, topics, authors with different backgrounds, etc.) should be valued on a site like Wikisource, but this unfortunately means we have to eventually come to terms with the ugly. : I think the general public needs a bit of nudging. This is a very complicated topic that I'm finding hard to summarize here, but basically, members of the general public will easily take an understanding like "Oh, god, somebody really racist clearly did this transcription! Who else would spend so much time on it?" or "Hey, that racist guy from this book actually had a pretty solid point! We should hate X people after all." from some transcribed material by a fervent racist in the early 20th century, especially in this age where Twitter (oh, sorry, '''X'''!!!!!), TikTok, and Instagram reign as some of the most popular platforms in the world. We're in an age where people hate reading anything at all, unless it's in the form of a Snapchat caption or a short-form hurled insult with hashtags. {{smaller|You can forget the feud between [[Author:Stuart Pratt Sherman|Stuart Pratt Sherman]] and [[Author:H. L. Mencken|H. L. Mencken]] if they were still alive. Hell, they'd be joining forces!}} Am I ranting? Sorry. It's late. : Ahem. Well, I'll take it somewhere else if you want, but it's pretty clear to me (and several other Wikisourcers I've spoken to about it in other instances) that something like this is needed. [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull#top|talk]]) 07:09, 12 January 2024 (UTC) :: {{ping|Beeswaxcandle}} A recent discussion was on {{tl|Moral disclaimer}}, and consensus said this template can be used on talk pages. But, personally, I think that's not enough. And I think all the consensus around offensiveness here stems from the fact that we haven't had to deal with the backlash from ''having'' those offensive works here, since those very works are often avoided by our contributors for these very reasons. ''The Clansman'', for example, the basis for ''The Birth'' and probably the most significant racist piece of literature in American history, was deleted a few years ago because it only had a few chapters done, non-scan-backed. An index was produced recently, but it's barely been worked on. And honestly, this is understandable. Think about it like this—what if we had ''a ton'' of works by the Klan, (which we hypothetically could)? I think it'd be fair to say we'd have some explaining to do to our readers, wouldn't you? [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull#top|talk]]) 07:27, 12 January 2024 (UTC) :::That was the discussion I was remembering, but I must have dipped out part way through as I didn't remember the talk page conclusion. Yes, the General disclaimer statement was formed well before I joined here in 2009. Again, I fully understand the why of what you're doing with this template and I certainly don't disagree with the importance of this conversation. My concern is more about where the boundary is. If we need to overtly flag blackface, do we need to do the same with texts with the words "coon", "nigger", and "chink"? What about those with faked negro dialect or where blacks are only seen as servants and/or comic relief? I'm immediately aware of these because the Stratemeyer Syndicate books that I'm working on are littered with them. And that's before we deal with the role of Jews in these books. [I note that there is no disclaimer template on the erotica that we hold.]{{pbr}}Would you be amenable to generalising the wording of the template closer to that of {{tl|moral disclaimer}} rather than focusing solely on blackface issue? That way you won't need to create a series of these for each type of problematic presentation. I also think that, for the time being and consistency with the previous consensus, the template (in whatever version) will need to sit on the Talk pages—until such time as a more general conversation than just us two in the late evening can be had. [By the way, the reason I even looked at the template was the name, which I thought was another typeface one, akin to Blackletter.] [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 08:17, 12 January 2024 (UTC) :::: {{ping|Beeswaxcandle}} I've reverted the changes for now, so the template and module have no effect anymore. I'll take your advice and gain consensus first. :::: There's a lot to unpack here, for sure, and the issue is complex. For this bit, I'll focus on film, specifically, since that's the area I feel most comfortable talking about. :::: Our prime examples right now are {{w|Al Jolson}}'s films and ''The Birth of a Nation''. ''The Birth'' can just be covered by a general disclaimer, I'm fine with that. It's bad all around. :::: But with Jolson's material, it gets more complicated. His two feature films (1927's ''The Jazz Singer'' and 1928's ''The Singing Fool'') are not straightforwardly about race at all. There are a few blackface performances in them, but the theme of black racism has very little to do with the overall plot of the movies. Just reading [[The Jazz Singer (film)|the ''Jazz Singer'' transcript alone]], the racism would barely be apparent, much like the works you mentioned with an occasional use of the N word. It would take watching the film itself to see the blackface performances (and watching it to the end at that), and to make a judgment of offense from that. :::: The themes of ''The Jazz Singer'' revolve around traditionalism, and what it's like to escape it. Jakie Rabinowicz (by stage name Jack Robin), the main character played by Al Jolson, is the son of a Jewish cantor, in an immigrant community in New York City. He wants to live a life as a jazz singer (hence the film's title). But his father fervently disapproves of this lifestyle, which he views as new-fangled and against the will of his religion, and so his father the Cantor disowns him from the family. The film touches on his jazz life (which involves blackface in some brief bits), as well as his relationship with his family at home in New York. :::: Contrast this with ''The Birth''. That movie is a straightforward piece of propaganda that documents the Civil War and Reconstruction periods from a white supremacist perspective. Well, "documents" is pretty generous..."perverts" would be a better word. The themes behind that movie? Explicitly racial. The overall message of that film is essentially, "if you give black people an inch they take a mile". According to that movie, once we ended slavery, black people took over everything and made life miserable for white people. And that's not even an exaggeration—I clarify that here because the plot is so ridiculous, you'd think I was making it up. (I know this because I watched it so you don't have to.) :::: Anyway, the point is, ''The Jazz Singer'' doesn't have anything to do with race unlike the other point of comparison which is ''The Birth of a Nation'', but does feature blackface, which some viewers will notice. On the other hand, see also ''[[A Plantation Act (film)|A Plantation Act]]'' (1926) also starring Al Jolson—a short "test film" for the sound technology later used in ''The Jazz Singer''. To not make this too much longer, ''A Plantation Act'' is basically just a minstrel performance, nothing more. Pretty yikesy... :::: In light of all these points (and of watching too many movies no one ever watches), the degree of offense and the reasons behind offense is indeed complicated. I think making different templates would make sense, but I agree it should probably only be used in the more extreme cases, or where it's at least obvious that the work has some bigoted things in it. Take for example ''The Jazz Singer''—the blackface isn't that prevalent in the film itself, but the blackface is a huge part of that film's legacy, so prominent that much of the film's promotion highlighted the blackface acts specifically. So, if searchers know what the film is, they know blackface has something to do with it. So I feel like in that instance, the disclaimer is justifiable. In something like ''[[The Fighting Coward]]'', though? Where only a minor character had blackface, the film isn't known for blackface, and the themes don't revolve around race? Maybe we can take it off of that one. :::: Well, anyway, to summarize, it's the general public I'm concerned about—our editors will get it, but Your Average Joe™ will extrapolate more than necessary. Here are the principles I want to leave you with. Three things: 1. Is the work known for offensive content? 2. (Especially) Does the work leave you with an explicitly bigoted political/philosophical message? 3. The bigotry is particularly obvious for some other reason. Those are my guidelines. I'll think more about it, though, to give a more organized answer/proposal later. [[User:PseudoSkull|PseudoSkull]] ([[User talk:PseudoSkull#top|talk]]) 09:25, 12 January 2024 (UTC) :: Added onto the fact that when these consensuses were presumably formed and relashed (2000s–early 2010s), this was before many of the modern social movements surrounding race, gender, and sexuality (mid-to-late 2010s, present era of early 2020s), had even ''close'' to the amount of recognition they do right now.

I'm working on a large work here full of potentially offensive content and I'd have no problem with some form of disclaimer atop either the entire work, or perhaps certain chapters. The key would be the wordsmithing of the disclaimer, and linking to a page that lucidly and patiently (but unapologetically) lays out the WS philosophy. :::Not sure I can contribute much more of substance here, though I'd gladly chime in on anything in the Scriptorum if it comes up. Mostly just wanted to say "Thank you" for this conversation and how well it's being conducted. Cheers. [[User:Brad606|Brad606]] ([[User talk:Brad606|talk]]) 16:20, 12 January 2024 (UTC) : {{ping|Beeswaxcandle|Brad606}} I just thought of something a bit creative with this. What if we had a Wikisource essay on offensive material, to go in [[:Category:Wikisource essays]]? This would be something that wouldn't need consensus since it's just a layout of perspectives on the issue, and not a formal policy or even a guideline. Maybe this essay could be linked to on our disclaimer templates that I'm sure will come about in the future, as a way to further explain what value these works have, despite the views they represent. : I'd like to volunteer to write the essay. The "nutshell" summary of this essay would be, "yes, we will include works that are offensive or have offensive material, but, no, we don't support them, since we're a neutral platform." But there are a lot of nuances that I feel like I could also address in this essay, such as amounts of offensive material, offensive words or acts (such as blackface or the N word), sentiments against censorship in general, and why including even the most racist works can be useful to the general public if used for research projects and the like. These are all things I know I've outlined several times on discussion pages and the like, but maybe it's time to just put it all in one place and let it sit there.

My technology has mostly been tested on single-volume novels and short story collections from the early 20th century, and the technical nature of this work, looking at [https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Page:The_Flora_of_British_India_Vol_2.djvu/114&action=edit&redlink=1 this page] as a sample with many fractions and a complex hierarchy of sections, would make the transcription not so "quick".

Content we don't have is put onto the Requests listings or now the MC. ---[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 17:35, 11 April 2024 (UTC) It's also as much a matter of degree in cases. Having one (as I left there) project currently under completion is fine. On a long Portal, maybe two or three such red links. But having 25% of a Portal consist of redlinks and offsite links is generally a bad look for us. Such lists can be placed in User space, project pages, or Talk pages, but shouldn't be filling the Portal. Doing so makes it difficult for people to use the Portal for its intended purpose of guiding readers to our hosted content. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 17:47, 11 April 2024 (UTC) : {{ping|EncycloPetey}} I find the way you framed this second comment to be fair, but the actual situation not indicative of how this is being framed. To say it looks bad if a lot of the portal page are red links is something I could understand—I still disagree but I do find sympathy in the argument—but there were only two out of many complete ones, and they seemed to be intended to facilitate transcription projects and not to just catalog bare listings. [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema#top|talk]]) 19:25, 11 April 2024 (UTC) :: The Portal has about 10-12 blue links. And three (not two), red links were added, of which I kept one. Three red links is a significant fraction on a Portal that short; on a longer Portal three or four would not be such an issue. We have a history of this issue on Wikisource. Compare [https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=The_Odyssey&oldid=12265261 this old version] of the versions page for ''[[The Odyssey]]''. We have four translations. But the old version had accumulated so many red links, it was impossible to tell which ones (if any) were housed here. Add to that the fact that red is an eye-catching "alarm" color for those who can see red, which distracts from text in other colors, thereby making the problem worse. The lengthy list of red links was moved to [[Talk:The Odyssey|the Talk page]] to avoid having a link farm page in mostly red. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 21:42, 11 April 2024 (UTC) ::: Fair to say that can look to be a problem, personally I tend to remove red links now and keep gray text where no scan is available for a version. But that's just my preference. Well, anyway, our documentation doesn't clearly prohibit this (in fact, more or less encourages it), so we can't blame new contributors for only doing what the documentation says to do, so I guess we just have bad documentation, then.

I have edited plays where three different formats were applied to stage directions within a single scene. There are lots of other things I could point out, but they mostly come back to the fact that you seem to assume that play formatting within a single play will be uniform and consistent, and that is not my experience with the plays I've proofread. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 18:45, 6 January 2025 (UTC) : {{ping|EncycloPetey}} Thanks for letting me know, per your broader experience in this area. I am in fact only dipping my toes in play transcription, and was trying to see if my experiments with styling would pan out as I plan with a very small play—I'll clean up my own mess if it doesn't. Question: If there was any play you worked on, preferably a relatively simple one (not like the Yale ones which are quite hefty), that you think is in your opinion perfect to your standards, what work would you recommend I use as a model? [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema#top|talk]]) 18:56, 6 January 2025 (UTC) ::One of the simplest I've done recently was Chekhov's ''The Boor''. No poetical formatting, no indenting, and a stand-alone (not part of a larger volume). But it's simple enough that I don't think additional templates would be required, and would likely make formatting more complicated to do and more challenging to proofread for someone else. ::Slightly more complicated is [[Craig's Wife (1926)]], which mixes stage directions and spoken dialogue, with line/paragraph breaks within a single character's lines. ::[[Rope (US 1929)]], the one I'm currently doing has further complications, such as formatting character names in all-small-caps regardless of whether they indicate a character's lines or appear in stage directions. Stage directions also include both italicized and non-italicized text. The stage directions are aligned in two different ways, with some of the right-aligned directions appearing floating at end-of-line for a wrapped or lengthy text, so that have to be placed on a separate line because of coding limitations. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 19:11, 6 January 2025 (UTC) ::: I see.

I've just found about your "QuickTranscribe" and I'd like to ask: will it be available for general use anytime soon? Will it be available for more Wikisources? I'm an active user (and adm) of the Portuguese Wikisource and I think that your tool may come in handy (we've had something similar years ago, but its creator stopped using and updating it long ago) to expedite several projects (specially if the tool can handle archaic writing/letters, like in [[:pt:Descripçaõ do novo invento aerostatico|this work]]). And if you are accepting suggestions for future works, I have some: [https://archive.org/details/iracmahoneylip00alenuoft/mode/2up Iracema] (which seems to be the first Brazilian novel translated in English - I may work on it someday, since I have a quite big list of ongoing projects, but it seems interesting for your tool); [https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/007031049 Machado of Brazil] (according to Hathi Trust, it is in the US PD due to the lack of copyright renewal); [https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.172790 The Way the World is Going], by Wells. Cheers, [[User:Erick Soares3|Erick Soares3]] ([[User talk:Erick Soares3|talk]]) 15:42, 25 February 2025 (UTC) : {{ping|Erick Soares3}} Hi! Thanks for taking interest in my project. Unfortunately, my motivation for actually coding the project further has consistently been showing that it will probably be quite a long time before it will be a tool that can be widely used (and I have been having internal debates as to how exactly it ''should'' be deployed as a general-purpose tool). Right now, the tool is mostly optimized for works that were published between the late 1800s and the early 20th century, and it's extremely difficult, or impossible in some cases, to use if the work doesn't have a simple, straightforward structure to it (like a novel with chapters, a short story collection, or a single essay by itself). I've been getting a lot of requests over the past few years to do more with QuickTranscribe, so I'll try to prioritize it and see what I can put together. And thanks for the requests—I'll look over those works and see if I can throw them into my queue! [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema#top|talk]]) 22:19, 6 March 2025 (UTC) == [[User:SnowyCinema/QuickTranscribe|QuickTranscribe]] feedback == I noticed something in your recent transcription of [[Index:The story of the Battle hymn of the republic (IA storybattlehymnr00halliala).pdf]]; in particular [[Page:The story of the Battle hymn of the republic (IA storybattlehymnr00halliala).pdf/8]]. The page numbering is specified as "coloph" and is presumable short for "colophon", however {{w|colophon (publishing)|colophon}} is usually considered a part of the {{w|book design#Back matter (end matter)|back matter}} and not the {{w|book design#Front matter|front matter}}. I am assuming you meant {{w|edition notice}} (which I often abbreviate to "EN" in much the same way as I abbreviate "illustration plate {{w|book frontispiece|frontispiece}}" as "IPFP"; other {{w|tipped-in page|tipped-in}} full page illustrations I usually tag with "IP<{{var|facing page number}}>"). For a somewhat contemporary example (the image examples from the English Wikipedia page seem {{strong|ancient}}), I consider [[Page:Julia Ward Howe 1819-1910 (IA juliawardhowe18102laur).pdf/470]] from [[Index:Julia Ward Howe 1819-1910 (IA juliawardhowe18102laur).pdf]] to be a printer's/publisher's colophon (or "PC"; notice its position at the end of the volume and not the {{i|verso}} of the leaf with the title page). You might want to consider changing [https://github.com/PseudoSkull/QuickTranscribe/blob/1a3ed3ec1bcfd8548b105aaaead057ddf5c12038/handle_index.py#L16 QuickTranscribe: handle_index.py, line 16] since "coloph" probably does not mean what you think it does. In a similar fashion, I prefer differentiating "bastard title" vs. "half-title" in the way quoted by Theodore Low De Vinne on {{w|half-title}} (so "bastard title" is more a "front matter" item and "half-title" a "body matter" item), so I consider [[Page:Wisdom of the Wilderness (1923).pdf/5]] from [[Index:Wisdom of the Wilderness (1923).pdf]] a "bastard title" whereas [[Page:Wisdom of the Wilderness (1923).pdf/11]] is a "half-title". That definition is not universal though (many do not care for the term "bastard title" and so the two things get conflated easily). I might have to look at QuickTranscribe more. —[[User:Uzume|Uzume]] ([[User talk:Uzume|talk]]) 18:19, 8 March 2025 (UTC) : {{ping|Uzume}} Hmmm, I appreciate the feedback. QuickTranscribe always outputs the same thing for every kind of a page on an index. This was done deliberately, for situations exactly like this, where something like "colophon" might not be the most accurate descriptor—so a script that ran across all indexes using "coloph" could easily change that. And that's an interesting bit of information. I'd never heard the word "bastard title" before—though I have a bias of hesitation in using it unless it's the only choice of words available, given the use of the word ''bastard'' in the phrase (the first thing people think of when they see "bastard" is "jerk", "asshole", lol). But this is just a preliminary analysis based on what you've told me so far. I'll look into it more deeply when I get the chance! [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema#top|talk]]) 18:29, 8 March 2025 (UTC) ::@[[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]]: Well, when I think of "jerk" when referring to a person I think of {{w|soda jerk}}.

"The purpose of the half-title page is to protect the '''full title page''' and '''its traditional counterpart''', the frontispiece, during the bookbinding process." But [[Author:Theodore Low De Vinne|Theodore Low De Vinne]], in his 1900 work ''[[The Practice of Typography]]'' (I looked at the scan of this work out of curiosity, and ''oh boy'', this would be one of the hardest transcriptions to do on the entire site... I don't even know where I'd begin with it...), gave either his own personal (though perhaps well-founded) opinion on the matter, or he reflected the academic consensus on the terms ''in '''1900''''', that "bastard titles" and "half-titles" are concepts needing to be distinguished. Since it's been 125 years, this consensus (if it existed then) may well have changed—it's enough time for the word to have legitimately evolved to umbrella both page positionings within a book's front matter. :::: I'd be interested in exploring this further, but at the very least it ''appears to me right now'' that there's enough modern literary consensus to allow "half-title" to be used to describe both pages. Although I will say I also found that there ''is'' an alternate term that could be used instead "bastard title", which is "fly-title", so I think if necessary, the word "half" for pre-title-page material could be changed to "fly" later.

[[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema#top|talk]]) 23:49, 8 March 2025 (UTC) == Proofreading method == Hi, I just want to know what your proofreading method is, i. e. how you are able to proofread so fast. Like, do you fully read both the OCR text and the scan, fully read one but not the other, skim both, etc. What do you look for when looking at the scan, and what do you look for when looking at the OCR text? My proofreading method has been to first skim the scan for italics and the things that Google OCR misses--paragraph breaks, quotations marks, and em dashes--and then to (speed)read the OCR text to check for typos and to make sure the lines start and end correctly. [[User:Prospectprospekt|prospectprospekt]] ([[User talk:Prospectprospekt|talk]]) 21:40, 23 March 2025 (UTC) : {{ping|Prospectprospekt}} Hi! Good to hear from you again. My proofreading method is mostly what you said, but with some extra variables. :: '''Do I skim or do I fully read?''' Honestly, it's pretty much all skimming. The only time I ever find myself reading the full content as I would aloud is if I really have to: for example, if I'm formatting a chart, or there are italics and accent marks like every other word for a couple pages, or something else really hard to do. I've trained my eye at how to find typos, scannos, formatting inconsistencies, etc. That's honestly most of what I'm looking for. ''Surprisingly'', I generally end up remembering a good bit of the content's meaning—sometimes, when I go and fully read a chapter or two of a text I completed, I'm surprised at how much of the actual content I remember from only spending ~ 5 seconds per page checking for errors. Subconscious memories are amazing like that! You learn stuff even when you're not trying! :: '''But, it's not always as quick as it seems because my method is extremely exhaustive.''' I've built software that accounts for how a work will be treated on Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, and various different parts of this site (indexes, page namespace, even author and disambiguation pages though this is in the early stages of development). And a lot of that, especially Wikidata, is like ''Wikisource post-game bonus round'' kinda stuff. So it takes extra time to make sure it's all correct. :: What might most interest you specifically is that I do a whole bunch of pre-proofreading and post-proofreading cleanup on texts, in stages. This is a programmatic approach to cleaning up the content before and after proofreading, so that proofreading itself is quicker and more accurate. I treat all works as one big cluster of text, and work with them as a large unit, and split out the pages after to go in the Page namespace. :: '''My proofreading process in rough stages:''' Stage 1: Get the OCR for the whole work (in one single block of text). Stage 2: Clean up the OCR with regexes and stuff to get it ready for fast proofreading on a single page. (This is for stuff like getting rid of all the page header gunk that OCR always messes up, formatting the chapter titles ahead of time ''en masse'', etc.) Stage 3: Do the actual proofreading, as in the page-by-page reviewing of the full book. I usually save the front and back matter for last and do the content first. Stage 4: Post-proofreading processing. This is where I use code that finds errors I ''missed'' during proofreading (maybe I left an OCR symbol here, a four-consonant bit of garbledigook there, and my code finds that kind of stuff with logic), and it even finds other cool stuff like [[Template:Hinc|hyphenation inconsistencies]] across the book (which are almost impossible to catch unless you literally search the text as a whole technologically). Stage 5: Automatically parse the text that's there into MediaWiki formatting (since I proofread most of it in the "QT markup language" that I invented, which I specifically designed so you can type formatting and stuff out faster than most MediaWiki templates or HTML formatting could ever be typed). :: {{sm|There are actually like 15 stages to my process, but these are the ones most relevant to ''proofreading''—the rest will be documented later.}} :: '''Public access to the QuickTranscribe software has now been requested like 5 times in the past year if you haven't noticed. :p No, but THANK YOU GUYS. It means I NEED TO ACTUALLY GET TO WORK.''' And I haven't made time to start '''Phase 2''' of QuickTranscribe's development, which is to clean up my code base (MASSIVELY) and make a user interface so that other people can try using it instead of it just being a power tool hoarded by just me. : All right, I'll make a date. '''April 1st''' is arbitrarily the latest date I just now decided in which I'm going to start working on Phase 2. {{sm|(That means I need to actually do the music sheets I promised Uzume sometime before that.)}} So uh, yeah, I appreciate all the interest in ''that''. : And as for your original question (which I ''may'' have strayed away from on a wild tangent at the end there), I hope my insight here was helpful to you.

I asked the ILL librarian for the books in question, and then she sent that request out to other public and university libraries. When one of them agrees to ship the book, it gets loaned to my library, which in turn loans in to me. I scan it, and then return it to my library, which then ships it back to the original library. I had been using my local university’s ILL system (which was free), but was informed (when I requested ''Meet the Tiger'') that it was no longer possible to make requests. I have considered using my local ''public'' library’s ILL system, but I believe that they charge for the privilege: I am not sure how, though. I will have to curtail my activities to some extent if there is any cost involved, but especially so if it quite expensive. (Your public library likely also has ILL capabilities: see [https://www.oclc.org/en/contacts/libraries.html here] to check if it’s connected with the system.) It would be nice to have a central location for people to request scans, especially if we could get a geographic spread of us who were willing to go to nearby universities to scan—but I know that’s a stretch.

Th re;st arresting figures are those relating to matches. They show to what a remarkable extent Japan was able to capture the Indian market for this commodity. In this connection the following remarks taken from ho Review of Trade of India for 1914-15 will be found illuminating. "Until recently ma;ohes 'made in Sweden' or 'made in Norway' monopolised the Indian market, but cheap Japanese Matches have since 1912-1 been a tormidable competitor. The influx o! Japanese matches has erormously increased owing, it is said to (1) oheap freights, () existenoe of a Japanese league of manufacturers and shippers, and (3)the formation of a regular servioe sailing from Japan to Caloutta vii Rangoon. Japan has now oaptured the major portion of the Indian matoh trade. Imports from Sweden and Norway continue to show a noioeable decrease. The reason is that Japanese matches are very much cheaper han Swedish matches. The monthly-average ('o! import from Japan ) for the last four months of 1914-15, showed au increase of 221 per cent as against the corresponding period o! the previous year." This is how a practical people backed by a practical Government set about .heir business. No amount o! mere talking, even though supported by commissions, can help to industrialize a oou. try.

Before considering the other portions of the inscriptions, it may be well to make a few remarks on this formula. The meaning of the first two words, and their application to the goddess Tanith seem to be undoubted. The Abb Barges has indeed suggested transferring the fifth letter to the end of the first word, but as his reading is based on his having mistaken the h (lamed) for a 3 (nun), an error clearly shown by Mr. Davis' inscriptions, this suggestion has no weight. The next word was read by Gesenius ihyihi, and translated by him "et hero." .M.de Sauley* has however proposed reading the first character D (pe) instead of i (vau), and the second 3 (nun) instead of h (lamed), making Pen-Baal, " lace " or " manifestation of Baal," as a title for Tanith. b The next letter (the fourteenth) was read by Gesenius and others 3 (nun), and by the Abbe Barges 3 (eaph) ; but it has been more correctly read by M. de Saulcy c as i (van) ; a reading completely borne out by the new inscriptions, in which the letter in question preserves its peculiar character, and shows itself quite distinct from the letters 2 (caph) and 3 (nun). With regard to the two next words ton $>r3>, "to Baal llamon," all the commentators seem to agree; but the two following have given rise to much difference of opinion, and they are unfor- tunately of great importance with regard to the meaning of the inscriptions. All seem to approve of dividing them into TO v*. Quatremere* interprets them hoc quod vocit ; Lindberg, e quisque vovit ; Gesenius, vir vovens ; De Saulcy, est res coto promissa ; Judas, basis sepultures ; Barges approves of the older reading by Quatremere ; I have ventured to take the simpler form, " the vow of." Such is the formula which occurs in a more or less perfect condition in the *r1 Revue Archeologique, 1846, torn. iii. p. 632. *r2 The correction with regard to the nun is confirmed by Mr. Davis's inscriptions. *r3 Revue Archeologique, 1846, torn. iii. p. 630. *r4 Memoire sur 'juelquea inscriptions Puniques.

After thus setting forth her titles, she gives him directions how to rid himself of his asinine form, and exhorts him to become one of her priests. There can be little doubt then that Tanith is to be looked upon as the great goddess of Carthage, the Ccelestis, Urania, or Juno of the Romans." Her temple is supposed to have been situated on an eminence in close proximity to the Hill of St. Louis or Byrsa, and a little to the north of it, near a spot marked by Falbe o. 53. It vas of great size and magnificence, surrounded by shrines dedi- cated to all the gods related to her. b The hieron or sacred inclosure was in Roman times no less than two miles in extent. It would even appear from Silius Italicus and others, that it contained the temple and grove of Kronos or Saturn. In A.I). J{{)9 this hieron, which had been long closed, and become overgrown with thorny bushes, was cleared out, and the temple consecrated to Christ, the Bishop Aurelius placing his scat on the spot once occupied by the statue of Cu-lestis. During the reign of Constantius III. (A.M. 421) all the temples were rased, and the ground converted into a cemetery. The street leading to the shrine and temple, which had been known as the Via Coelestis, was shortly afterwards destroyed by the Vandals. d The continuous worship of the goddess of Carthage may perhaps be inferred from the history of her veil or peplos. In the Mirabiles Auscultationes, usually ascribed to Aristotle, we find the following passage : e " They say that a garment was made for Alcimenes, the Sybarite, of such magnificence, that at the Panegyry *r1 St. Ambrose says, "Quem Cœlestem Afri, Mitram Persje, plerirjue Venerem colunt pro diversitate nominis, non pro nuniinis varietate."

After thus setting forth her titles, she gives him directions how to rid himself of his asinine form, and exhorts him to become one of her priests. There can be little doubt then that Tanith is to be looked upon as the great goddess of Carthage, the Ccelestis, Urania, or Juno of the Romans." Her temple is supposed to have been situated on an eminence in close proximity to the Hill of St. Louis or Byrsa, and a little to the north of it, near a spot marked by Falbe o. 53. It vas of great size and magnificence, surrounded by shrines dedi- cated to all the gods related to her. b The hieron or sacred inclosure was in Roman times no less than two miles in extent. It would even appear from Silius Italicus and others, that it contained the temple and grove of Kronos or Saturn. In A.I). J{{)9 this hieron, which had been long closed, and become overgrown with thorny bushes, was cleared out, and the temple consecrated to Christ, the Bishop Aurelius placing his scat on the spot once occupied by the statue of Cu-lestis. During the reign of Constantius III. (A.M. 421) all the temples were rased, and the ground converted into a cemetery. The street leading to the shrine and temple, which had been known as the Via Coelestis, was shortly afterwards destroyed by the Vandals. d The continuous worship of the goddess of Carthage may perhaps be inferred from the history of her veil or peplos. In the Mirabiles Auscultationes, usually ascribed to Aristotle, we find the following passage : e " They say that a garment was made for Alcimenes, the Sybarite, of such magnificence, that at the Panegyry *r1 St. Ambrose says, "Quem Cœlestem Afri, Mitram Persje, plerirjue Venerem colunt pro diversitate nominis, non pro nuniinis varietate."

Ill served at his residence, the IJliydd, Upton-on-Scvcrii, It is on panel, measuring lOf in. in lieight by 5^ iu breadth. In the upper part the head of the Saviour is seen in profile, to the lei't, on a gold ground ; the features are of mild, pleasing expression ; the long hair, of dark chestnut colour, falls on the shoulders ; the beard is short, and slightly forked ; the dress dark green. The lower moiety of the panel bears the following inscription in gold letters (lloman capitals) on a black ground : — THIS PRESENT FIGURE IS THE SIMILITVDE OF OVRE LORD IIIV OVRE SAVIOR IMPRINTED IN AMIRALD BY THE PREDESESSORS OF THE CRETE TURKE AND SENT TO OVRE HOLY FATER {sic) THE POPE INNOSENT THE VIII. AT THE COST OF THE GRETE TURKE FOR A TOIvIN FOR THIS CAUSE TO REDEilE HIS BROTHER THAT WAS TAKYN PEESONER. Several examples of this "similitude," it may be re- membered, have been brought before the Institute, at the London meetings and in our temporary museums. Those hitherto known to me appear without exception to be repe- titions of a valued type, probably from the hand of some Italian painter, who had access to the precious emerald as his model ; in every instance the date of their execution seems to be about the commencement of the sixteenth cen- tury, possibly a few years earlier. Whilst they differ slightly in certain details, they are nearly uniform in dimension, and the inscription, that sometimes contains slight blunders, is always in English, and constantly sets forth the gift of the emerald prototype to Innocent VIII. by Bajazet II. to propi- tiate the Holy Father in favoui* of his younger brother, Zemes or Zizim, who had been defeated at Erousa in 1482, and souglit refuge with the Soldan of Egypt. These curious details have been set forth by Mr. King in his memoir above cited. The examples of the painting previously' sub- mitted to the Institute, differ only from that transmitted to Mr. King from the Isle of Man in the absence of the radiant aureole, which is found in that instance only. In 1851 one of these portraitures had been exhibited by Mr. Thomas Hart, of Reigate ; it is described in this Journal (vol. viii, p. 320).

As the dates of Colonel John Johnson's commissions are omitted in the account of this regiment from ' An English Army List of 1740,' it is probable that LIEUT. -COLONEL J. H. LESLIE was unacquainted with their dates, or from the fact of the Colonel's Christian name and surname being of a somewhat common type he may have been unable to identify them.

Previously to his appointment as Colone, of the regiment which in the ' English Army List of 1740 ' bore his name, and which I Dresume was so designated at the battle of bettingeii in which it took part, June 16, 1743 (as it did not receive the title of the 33rd Regiment until the year 1751), Lieut. - General Johnson was Lieut. -Colonel of the 12th Dragoons, as appears from Beatson's Political Index' (vol. ii., pp. 132 and 231). Query, did he command his regiment in person at Dettingen ? General Johnson came of an ancient family originally settled at Glaiston, in the ounty of Rutland ; allied to that of Arch- deacon Robert Johnson, founder of the two Grammar Schools of Oakham and Upping- ham in that county, and bearing the same coat of arms and crest, viz., Argent, a chevron sable between three lions' heads coupee gules crowned or ; and for crest, On a wreath argent and gules a lion's head coupee gules crowned or. His father is stated to have been a pros- perous Turkey merchant trading with Smyrna, and tradition has it that he was at Lisbon at the time of the great earthquake, Nov. 1, 1755, and was buried in the debris, but was rescued alive by his friends after three days' interment. If this be true he had survived his son, the General, who died in Clarges Street, London, November 19, 1753, and was buried in Thames Dittoii churchyard. General Johnson was an in- timate friend of Mr. Peter de la Porte, of Burhill, Surrey (now the well-known golf links), who bequeathed him his estate. Any particulars as to the General's parentage, ancestry, date and locality of his birth would be welcome. I have particulars of his two marriages and of his descendants. CROSS- CROSSLET.

' Poor Robin.' " Shrove Tuesday derives its name from the sustom of our ancestors in Catholic times going -o confession. Its Latin and continental names lave all a reference to the last eating of flesh : ^arnivale, farewell to flesh. That none might )lead forgetfulness of confessing and being ;hriven, the great bell was rung at an early hour n every parish, and in after times this ringing ras still kept up in some places, though the cause >f it ceased with the introduction of Protestantism. Eventually it got the name of the Pancake-bell, ind in the parish in which I once resided [Dr. 5 oole informs me that this was Monks Kirby, Warwickshire] about eleven o'clock this bell iounds over hill and dale, proclaiming to the good lousewives that it is a gentle reminder to make reparations for the pancakes, the delight of the uveniles."

A careful comparison of the mouth and nose alone with the corresponding features in Sir Joshua's portrait of Goldsmith is enough to shew beyond any possible doubt that the picture in question does not represent " Dr. Minor." That at first sight, at least, it strikes us as very unlike Dr. Johnson's portraits with which we are more familiar is quite true, but that is probably due in great part to the absence of the wig. It can be seen from Algernon Graves and William Vine Cronin's monumental 'History of the Works of Sir Joshua Reynolds,' vol. ii. (1899), p. 519, that Reynolds twice painted Johnson without his wig. In one of these portraits Johnson is described as " shewing both his hands held up in front ; profile to left ; books in background ; without his wig." This is said to have been exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1770 and to belong to the Duke of Sutherland. In the other, painted in 1769-70, Johnson is said to be " standing arguing, with his hands half clutched, in one of his most characteristic attitudes ; shews the head with no wig ; a profile to left ; bookcase behind." This portrait is said. by Graves and Cronin to be in the Sackville collection at Knole Park. According to the ' D.N.B.' it was painted for Johnson's step -daughter, Lucy Porter, and the Knole Park picture is a replica. Another account represents the first of the two portraits as painted for her. The portrait in Birkbeck Hill's third volume seems to correspond to the description of the first ("books in background"). That it represents Johnson is, of course, absolutely certain. EDWARD BENSLY. IMPALED ON A THOBN (12 S. viii. 210). This popular belief attracted the attention of Sir Thomas Browne. In the last chapter of Book III in his ' Vulgar Errors ' he writes " Many more there are whose serious enquiries we must request of others, and shall only awake considerations, Whether. ..." and one of the problems which he propounds is : " Whether the Nightingals setting with her breast against a thorn, be any more then that she placeth some prickels on the outside of her nest, or roosteth in thorny and prickly places, where Serpents may least approach her ? " But one would rather have heard Sir Thomas on the question " Whether the brains of Cats be attended with such destructive malignities, as Dioscorides and others put upon them ? " EDWARD BENSLY.

WENDELL HEBBBUCK. Canton, Ohio. A LITEBABY HOAX. At 2 S. vi. 196 an account is given of a literary hoax played off in the name of W. C. Bryant, the Ameri- can poet, which establishes the fact that no matter how atrocious an effusion may be, if a well known poet's name is appended to it, it becomes true poetry in the eyes of a large majority of poetry readers. Have there been recent examples of this ? I seem to remember a case a few years ago of a poem in a reputable daily newspaper to which Kipling's name was attached, but which he denied having written.

ENBICO NOBIS (16.31-1704). Concerning this celebrated Cardinal, whose baptismal name was Girolamo, and whose name Enrico (or as some say Arrigo), was taken on his entering the Order of St. Augustine, Waller's ' Imperial Dictionary of Universal Bio* graphy,' says : " The current story that his family was of Irish origin appears to be incorrect, as the race has been traced back in the territory of Bergamo to the beginning of the thirteenth century." I have been unable to trace this " current story": but Beeton's 'Dictionary of Uni- versal Biography ' states that the Cardinal's father was " a native of Ireland." Moroni's ' Dizionario Ecclesiastico,' the * Nouvelle Biographie Generale,' the ' Biographie Uni- verselle,' the 'Catholic Encyclopedia,' the ' Nouveau Larousse Illustre,' and Chalmers* 4 Biographical Dictionary,' all assert that his ancestry was English. The ' Biographie Universelle ' says : "Jacques Noris, 1'un de ses aneetres, general d'artillerie, aprea avoir defendu vainement la capitale de 1'ile de Chypre contre les Turcs, viub a. s'etablir a Verone. Alexandre, pare de Henri, a publie entre autres ouvrages une traduction italienne de ' I'Histoire de la guerre d'Allernagne,' terminee par le traite de Lubeck."

HARBISON'S well-known " Litherpool " - etymology, though the weak point of it is that it does not account for the spelling "Liverpool." In the same way Prof. Wyld's " Leofhere's Pool " ('Place Names of Lancashire,' p. 174) does not account for v.the spelling "Litherpool." My etymology j(" Livtherpool ") accounts for both spellings, which are practically of equal antiquity. In my first communication (ante, p. 68), when pointing out the suitability of the name " Shelter Pool " for the Pool of Liverpool, I was careful to say that for many miles along the Liverpool shore it afforded the only shelter. Wallasey Pool (mentioned by MB. HABBISON) also afforded .excellent shelter, but is on the Cheshire side of the Mersey estuary, and would therefore be of no use to a navigator who wished to .land in Lancashire. Further, even if a navigator's sole object were safety, he would be unable to enter Wallasey Pool in the prevalent north-westerly gales. Otterspool (also mentioned by MB. HABBISON) is some miles away on the Liverpool shore, but was altogether too small and shallow to be of any use as a harbour. That the Pool of Liverpool was actually regarded by navigators as a valuable place of shelter in bad weather, is proved incontestably by the quotation given in my second communication (ante, p. 188). I entirely agree with what your contribu- tor MB. WADE (ante, p. 254) says about the .absurdity of the "Liver bird " derivation of "Liverpool," and the likelihood of its 'being an invention of Herald's College. The "Liver bird " is undoubtedly derived from the badly executed eagle of St. John on the old corporation seal, which was formerly supposed to be a cormorant (see the paper on <r The Armorial Bearings of the City of Liverpool,' by J. Paul Rylands, F.S.A., in the 'Transactions of the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire,' vol. xlii, pp. 1-14). There are other equally baseless derivations -of "Liverpool" which are now no longer taken seriously. ROBEBT GLADSTONE. The Athenaeum, Liverpool. JOSEPH PORTER OF MOBTLAKE (12 S. vii. 209). No Hogarth student having come to the assistance of A. J. W., I may remark that as Joseph Porter was the brother of .Dr. Johnson's Lucy Porter of Lichfield, siographical information respecting the Porter family should probably be sought in the Midlands. As your querist suggests that anything anent Hogarth is of general interest, may I give three excerpts from The General Adver- tiser of 1744 that tend to show that the ^reat painter, no less than his 'Enraged Nlusician,' was at the mercy of those dis- concerting street noises and annoyances so graphically described by Baretti. " Mar. 20. Yesterday a great number of dissolute vagabonds being assembled together in Leicester Fields gaming, and others throwing dead cats and dogs at the passengers and making a prodigious disturbance there, four of these were taken up by some very diligent constables who brought them before Sir Thomas De Veil who committed them to Clerkenwell - Bridewell to hard-labour.

" Apr. 5. On Tuesday last in the evening there was a smart battle in Leicester Fields between a large Press gang and the fellows who generally frequent that place, in which several were wounded on both sides ; but at length the sailors carried off about 20 of them." It is interesting to note that in the advertisement columns cf the issue of Apr. 5 there is inserted a notice that those wishing to subscribe for the engravings of the Marriage A La Mode are to send their names " to the Author at the Golden Head, Leicester Fields."

ASTRONOMICAL TABLE. I am seeking information as to the possible origin of an astronomical table which has recently come to my notice. The table is constructed of a light-coloured wood of a satiny appearance and texture, with delicate natural figuring. The top is 43 in, in diameter, and is hinged on to a heavy central pillar supported by three feet. The whole thing is a most beautiful piece of work, and the figure at which it has recently changed hands is very high. The centre of the top of the table represents the North Pole of the heavens, and surrounding it are displayed the con- stellations visible from the northern hemi- sphere, the hundreds of stars being repre- sented by inlaid discs of brass of varying size according to the magnitudes of the stars. The edge of the table top is divided into twelve sections to correspond with the signs of the Zodiac, the signs being repre- sented by symbol and picture in the con- ventional manner. The names of the con- stellations and chief stars are printed in by hand in the French language. I have examined the table minutely and have been tinable to find any indication as to the date of its construction or the name of its maker. The owner of the table would be very thankful for any information regarding the possible origin of the table, which, it might be added, is not for sale. WILLIAM PORTHOUSE, F.R.A.S. 27 Turnbull Road, Longsight, Manchester. ELDER BREWSTER OF THE MAYFLOWER' HIS FATHER AND WIFE. Whatever relates to the Pilgrim Fathers is at present of deep interest to the American people, and it will be greatly appreciated if you, or any one in the Old Home, can shed light upon two Mstorical questions that are perplexing us. Did Edmund Grindal, Archbishop of 'Canterbury, 1575-83, appoint William Brew- ster, Senior, father of the famous Elder Brewster of the Mayflower "receiver and bailiff of the Manor of Scrooby, to hold both offices for life " ? That most eminent American authority on Pilgrim history, the 2lev. Henry Martyn Dexter, in his 'Eng- nd and Holland of the Pilgrims, ' states that this appointment was made by Archbishop Grindal, and Roland G. Usher, a recent writer on 'The Pilgrims and their History,' agrees with him. But Dr. John Brown of Bedford, England, says that Archbishop Sandys of York, 1575-88, appointed said William Brewster to that office, January, 1575-6. Which statement is correct ? Beyond the fact that her name was Mary, nothing is known of the wife of Elder Brewster. William Dean Howells, in ' Lon- don Films,' p. 191, asserts that Elder Brewster 's wife was born and bred in Duke Street, London, a place of no consequence now, but which perhaps may have been like Whitechapel, a region of high respect- ability three hundred years ago. Mr. Howells further states that his in- formation was chiefly derived from a genea- logist, Mr. Lothrop Withington of the British Museum, and also from a wonderful hand-book on London, by Peter Cunning- ham. Many genealogical students in America would be glad to know the surname of Elder Brewster 's beloved and only wife. Near Aldersgate lived Sir Edwin Sandys, the " very loving friend " of Elder Brewster, who rendered valuable aid in 1619-20 to the Pilgrims : while at his country place, in Stepney, dwelt Mr. William Davison, Secre- tary of State to Queen Elizabeth, who found young William Brewster "so faithful and discreet " that he loved him with a fatherly affection, and " trusted him above all others that were about him, and only employed him in matters of greatest trust and secrecy."

H.,' x. 1, for the story of JPherenice, who, being warned off the course by the stewards of the Olympian games, justified her intrusion by the facts that her father and three brothers had already been Olympic victors, and she had just entered a son. I think one of the victors was Diagoras of lalysus (Find. ' Ol.,' vii.). H. K. ST. J. S. [The following authors have references to the Incident : (JEschines) ' Epist.,' iv. 5 ; Philostratus, * De Arte Gymnastica,' 17 ; Valerius Maximus, viii. 15, 12 ; Pliny, ' Nat. Hist.,' vii. 133. There are also the Scholiast on Pindar, ' Olymp.,' vii., and Pausanias, v. 6. Pausanias tells the story some- what differently from ^3Elian or the Scholiast or perhaps may be said to make it intelligible. Pherenice, he relates (she is also called Aristo- patira and probably by a mistake Callipatira), ner husband being dead, trained her boy Pisirodus and brought him to the games, disguising herself as a trainer and watching the contest with the other trainers. The boy was victorious, where- upon she sprang over the barrier into the lists, and thereby discovered her sex whether acciden- tally or intentionally he does not make clear. It was then that as daughter of Diagoras of Rhodes, and sister of three other victors, she was allowed to go free. Particulars about her family will be found in Pausanias, vi. 7. Sir J. G. Frazer's notes to his translation of Pausanias (Macmillan, 6 vols.) might be consulted with advantage.] COL. HON. JOHN SCOTT, TEMP. CHARLES I. I am seeking particulars with regard to "Colonel Hon.

The person on whose behalf I am inquiring is specially anxious to have this latter point made clear. J. DE C. LAFFAN (Major). FOLK-LOBE : THE ANGELICA. In Long- fellow's ' Tales of a Wayside Inn ' (far too little known, as I think) there occurs (in ' The Musician's Tale ') an episode concerning ' Queen Thyri and the Angelica-Stalks,' wherein it is written of King Olaf : In his hand he carried Angelicas uprooted, With delicious fragrance Filling all the place. Even the smile of Olaf Could not cheer her gloom ; Nor the stalks he gave her With a gracious gesture, And with words as pleasant As their own perfume. In her hands he placed them, And her jewelled fingers Through the green leaves glistened Like the dews of morn ; But she cast them from her Haughty and indignant, On the floor she threw them With a look of scorn. Is there any significance in the offering of angelicas ? The stalks of Angelica arch- angelica are much used as sweetmeats, and a sweet, green stick of it is often used in ice-puddings ; but why did King Olaf offer uprooted angelicas to the queen ?

' MUJTABY QUARTEBLY REVIEW.' In ' Some Memories of my Spare Tune,' by the late General Sir Henry Brackenbury, G.C.B., the following passage occurs, p. 218 : " In December, 1872, two meetings were held in London for the purpose of promoting the publica- tion of a military periodical. A society was formed, of which eighteen officers, all capable writers, were the original members. It was de- cided to establish a Military Quarterly Remeio ; Capt. J. W. Hozier was appointed editor, and a I sub-committee of four, of which I was a member, j was appointed to assist the editor. Every member j of the society was pledged to contribute, if called ! upon by the editor, one article per annum. So far as I can recollect, the scheme never bore fruit."

There were twenty-two volumes altogether in the set, and according to ' D.N.B.' the majority of them were written by Caroline Frances Cornwallis (1786-1858), a very accomplished lady, who, when only 7 years of age, produced "histories, poems, commentaries, and essays, which would fill volumes." She knew Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and German, and acquired a knowledge of philosophy, natural and social science, history, theology, law, and politics.

I have in my possession an old davenport, which, in its present form, I believe dates from the early part of the last century. At any rate, it was in my father's possession when I was a child, now some seventy years ago. It is made up of old oak panels, carved in alto-rilievo, of apparently different ages. The most remarkable of them is the back panel, which is the largest, and I imagine the oldest. It contains a number of figures. There are clouds at the top, from the centre of which emerges a crowned head which I presume represents God the Father. On each side are angels.

The following extract is from the ' Remarks and Collections of Thomas Hearne '* : "1723. Dec. 30 (Mon.). There are no remains ni>\v of Missenden Abbey in Bucks, only a Oloyster. . . .But there is a place which they say the Church stood on. . . .Several Coffins have been found here, and among the rest. near to the Place where the Church stood, was found, some Years agoe, one of Stone, wherein was an intire Corps, which had not been expos'd to the Air above lo Minutes before it was Ashes. In this Coffin were found a Lamp and a Crucifix, which, with the Ashes of the Corps, were committed to the Ground at the Request of Mrs. Fleetwood.f Mother of the then Lord of the Manor. Mr. Fleetwood's House was built out of the Abbey Materials." R. W. B. MBS. ANNE BUTTON (12 S. ii. 147, 197, 215). In reply to my inquiry I have received several interesting- letters of information concerning Mrs. Dutton. In particular I am indebted to a copy of the inscription upon her sepulchral memorial for some particulars slightly at variance with those contained upon p. 197 above cited. She died on Xov. 18, 1765, aged 73 years, after having been thirty-four years resident at Great Gransden, and her husband died in 1748, if the monument furnishes correct statements. One of its assertions is amazing : that she wrote and published twenty-five volumes of choice letters to friends, and thirty-eight tracts on divine and spiritual subjects. The names of the tracts are easily recoverable, but of the twenty-five volumes I have not at any time seen a copy ; nor do I know where one of the twenty-five is catalogued. Per- haps " volumes " is an error. In the British Museum Catalogue under title of her name are three volumes of his- torical, literary, and theological miscellanea, which upon examination prove to bear the heading of The Spiritual Magazine. This name was, at other times, borne by publica- tions not in any way connected with Mrs. Dutton. In the three volumes for the years 1761, 1762, and 1763, so far as I remember correspondents, evidently ignor- ant of Mrs. Dutton' s alleged editorship, refer to her as the Rev. Mr. A. D. * Printed for the Oxford Histminl Society, viii. 150. t Sarah, widow of William Fleetwood ; she died March 23 and was buried AFarrh 31, 1711, at Great Missrmlrn. Her s<i;i .luhn died ft. p. in 1745, when the estate passed {<> liis >M.>r .Mary, widow of Thomas Ansell. I suspect that she attended the Tabernacle ministrations at Moorfields, during the period in which Howell Harris, Ingham, and Mr. Adams officiated, and in which White- field was absent in Georgia. If that con-' jecture be correct, she was probably an antagonist of Mr. John Cennick, hymn-writer and poet of merit and charm. The identi- fication would be of interest, for Mr. Cennick, hitherto much neglected, must one day come into his own. The years of her residence in London, under this hypothesis, would have nearly coincided with those of the absence of Mr. Benjamin Dutton in America. J. C. WHITEBBOOK, Lieut. PORTRAITS IN STAINED GLASS (12 S. ii. 172, 211). In Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, in a small window near his tomb, is the imaginary representation of Bishop King, last Abbot of Osney and first Bishop of Oxford. In St. Lucy's Chapel of the same cathedral is the Becket window, in which the head of the murdered prelate is obliterated, it is said by royal command. In Christ Church Hall, Oxford, is an oriel window on the south side (by Burlison and Grylls) with full -length portraits of Cardinal Wolsey, Sir Thomas More, Erasmus, the Earl of Surrey, Archbishop Warham,Dean Colet, Linacre, and Lily. In 1894 the lower lights of the window on the north side were filled by the representations of Burton, Fell, Aldrich, and Locke, seventeenth-century Christ Church worthies. St. Paul's Church, Oxford, built in 1836, has " a memorial window to Canon Ridgway, containing among its figures portraits of the Canon and some of his contemporaries. St. John's College Chapel, Oxford, east window, has among its effigies Sir Thomas White, the founder, and Archbishop Laud. Particulars from Alden's ' Guide to Oxford.' STEPHEN J. BAKNS.

There is said to be recorded in Blount's 'Tenures' a somewhat similar composition in effect at Bradford in Wilts. What is the precise purport of this composition? And what was its connexion with the outbreak of illness? {{right|R.

Mrs. Arber in her book on 'Herbals' (Cambridge, 1912) mentions an incomplete French version (about 1500) and other translations, but not an English 'Garden of Health.' I had recently an opportunity to handle a copy of one for a few minutes. It was a somewhat bulky octavo, of which the title-page, preface (if any), and beginning of the description of "herbs" (about one-half of signature {{asc|A}}) were missing. Each pair of pages had the running heading 'Garden of Health.' The bulk of the volume was in black-letter, with the names of the plants, and the short recapitulations of the evils each plant was liable to produce or destined to cure, in Roman characters. There were no illustrations. Is this copy unique? Or am I unable to find the book in any catalogue because it is indexed under the author's name? It is not a translation, but merely an imitation (or rather an elaboration) of the Latin 'Hortus Sanitatis.' It is quite possible that Mrs. Arber knew of it, but did not include it in her book on 'Herbals' because it was not illustrated and was probably printed after 1670. There are two entries in MS. as regards ownership in 1689. {{right|L. L.

ABCHIBALD SPABKE. I do not think the lady really intended to disguise her name. Is your Bombay corre- spondent quite sure about the vowels ? Her name may be Fanny Parkes or Perks. If on the other hand the vowels are correct, there may be some doubt about the initial consonant which may be a " B " and the name in that case would be Barkas. I know a family of that name. L. L. K.

It was a not uncommon practice for eighteenth-century silversmiths to inlay a coin of the period in the silver base of punch ladles. I possess two such, both with whale- bone handles, and each having a silver crown so inlaid. It was usual to tip the end of the flexible handle with silver also, which made a neat and graceful instrument for the purpose of filling the jovial glass of those days W. JAGGABD, Capt.

These Notes were compiled by Henry George Davies, whose copy is before me. From this I learn that "a common lane had existed from the Park corner to the King's Road, but the Lock Hospital having been built in 1746-7, a broad road had been formed, and the King (Geo.

Pub- lished for the Author by Aekermann & Co., 96, Strand." He was in Ceylon from 1828 to 1837. I should be glad of further particulars about him. Did he leave the service in 1837 ? In his Preface, dated 20 Dec., 1844, he explains that one of his reasons for publishing the book was "to beguile the tedium of leisure hours, which, for the first time in his life, he found to hang heavy on his hands."

In 1911 to 1912 it was shown that on the death of David de Strabolgi the barony went into abeyance between his two daughters. Eliza- beth, the elder, married, first, Sir Th. Percy, from whom coheirs were traced ; her second husband was Sir Jn. Scrope, from whom no child was shown in the pedigree, though from Burke's ' Extinct Peerage,' &c., there are probably descendants now living from a daughter Elizabeth, who married Th.

STOPES'S note, whiclTappeared at the fourth reference, I endeavoured to show, from the Coram Rege Roll of 1616 and other documents, that the Globe Playhouse of Shakespeare was on the north side of Maiden Lane, and not on the south, as MBS. STOPES contends. In my reply I left unanswered the various quotations from the " Sewars Presentments " which were made by MRS. STOPES, and about which she says : " Nothing, therefore, in the Sewers Books suggests that the Globe lay north of Maiden Lane." The quotations, so far as they are applic- able, appear to me to indicate that, on the contrary, the Playhouse was on the north side. It should be here realized that it was incumbent upon the owners or occupiers of the land abutting upon these sewers, or open ditches, to keep them in repair, so as to prevent a nuisance being created. The first extract from the " Sewars Presentments " is from p. 143, in the year 1587, as follows : " We present Thomas Brand, or his tenant John Potter, to pyle, board, and fill up with earth nine poles of his'wharfe lying in Maiden Lane against the common sewer there."

The Manner of the discipline and practise of the Gathered Churches, &c. London. Printed for Robert Ibbitson. 1651." The addition contains a typical " Covenant." Space will not permit me to point out all the Walkerisms, so I will confine myself to one the attack on the Quakers render- ing it quite certain that Harvey could not have written the tract. After saying of Cromwell that he had to deal, " by reason of his great place, with many of erring judgments, as well as others, the most obstinate of whom I have often heard him silence, discountenance their errors with the greatest detestation, especially when of fundamental consideration," the tract goes on to state as follows : " As once, dealing with some of the Quakers, he rendered their opinions in the most dreadful yet truest character that I ever heard. Saying that they were such as took the Crown off the Head of Christ, disrobed Him of His priestly garments and denied His propheticall office by setting up a spirit of their own in the room of His ; by the whole utterly making voyd His mediatorship, Who is God blessed for ever. And that he had rather be buried alive under a heap of stones than in the least to countenance the same, and much more which I have now forgot." It is, I think, well known that this does not in the least truthfully describe Cromwell's attitude towards the Quakers, and any one who refers to Walker's news-book, Severall (or Perfect] Proceedings, for the year 1655, will find a series of the vilest personal accusa- tions against both Fox and his followers. In particular (to leave accusations of im- morality out of the question) he wrote as follows on 28 May, 1655 : " Some papers were scattered about West- minster Hall this day, that the Quakers do acknowledge that there is a Heaven and a Hell, the Scriptures to be a declaration from the Spirit, and a Resurrection and Justification by faith in Christ. But there is no name to it ; it is a libell. I should be glad to hear of their conversions, or of any of them, from their black errors to the truth .... For I do not remember that I ever met with one of them that would own these funda- mental truths." The Quakers answered this accusation by a broadside entitled : " Slanders and lyes, being cast upon the Children of Light, given forth to print from one Henry Walker, which R. Ibitson [sic] hath printed, that they deny the Resurrection and Heaven and Hell," &c. But the condemnation placed by Walker in the mouth of Cromwell would seem to infer that the errors of the Quakers were those that Walker attributed to thero] on 28 May, 1655 in fact, that they were " fundamental," to use the word employed in both accusation and condemnation.

[11 . xn. AUG. u, 1915. SYLVESTER DOUGLAS WILSON. Sylvester Douglas Wilson of the Ceylon Civil Service, Assistant Resident and Magistrate of Badulla, was killed by a party of Kandyans, who received him with a volley of arrows as he was advancing to have a conference with them at their own request. This was on 16 Sept., 1817, and it was the be- ginning of the Uva Rebellion, which took two years to suppress. His wife Sophia, *' daughter of Edmund Battersbee, Esq., of Stratford-on-Avon," had died, at the age of 24, on 24 May of the same year at Badulla, where her tombstone is still to be seen. This, a " table tomb," with tablet at the end, is completely encircled by a bo tree (Ficus religiosa), which holds the memorial tablet " firmly clasped in a perfectly upright position," while some of the bricks of the tomb have been lifted up into the tree to a height that can hardly be reached with a walking-stick. The inscription is quite legible, the tree having served to protect it. They were married at the parish church of Stratford-on-Avon on 2 March, 1811, and the register describes the bridegroom as of the parish of Fulham, Middlesex. There are portraits of Edmund Battersbee and of his wife, whose Christian names were Marie Sebastienne Sophie, and also two sketches of their house, " Avonbank," at Stratford, exhibited on the walls of the Museum at New Place, Stratford. One of them was made before 1840. Mr. F. C. Wellstood of Strat- ford gives me the following information : "Edmund Battersbee in partnership with William George Morris, kept the first banking establishment in Stratford. The bank was situated in the building now known as New Place Museum, adjoining the vacant site of Shakespeare's last home, and the Battersbees lived for some time in the next house on the other side Julius Shaw's house. The Battersbees do not seem to have been natives of Stratford Edmund Battersbee died on Nov. 10th, 1812. A decayed mural tablet on the outside of the church under the east window gives his age as 69 years." His only other child was a son, Thomas- who became a lieutenant 'in the Roj-al Engineers. In 1824, and probably earlier, Lieut. Battersbee was residing " near Ayr in Scotland," and there were no Battersbees at Stratford after this date. " Edmund Battersbee first obtained a lease of the premises which he occupied in Chapel Street in the year 1800, and after his death a new lease was granted by the Mayor and Corporation to his widow, executors, and partner, Morris, for a term of seventeen years .... Edmund Battersbee was possessed of a great deal of property in and near Stratford. In the eighties or nineties of the eighteenth century he had purchased the old college of Stratford (which stood near the church) of John, Earl of WaP.vick, afterwards Duke of Northumberland, but, to the great regret of the inhabitants of Stratford, he caused this historic building to be entirelv demolished in the years 1799 and 1800." The " Avonbank " depicted in the sketches in the Museum " stood north of the churchyard, and was anciently known as ' the house of St. Mary in Old Town.' It was taken down in 1866, and the present ' Avonbank ' built some thirty yards or so away from the old site." I have given all these details about the Battersbees in the hope that they may elicit particulars from your correspondents as to the- pedigree and antecedents of S. D. Wilson ; with a view too, if possible, of obtaining a portrait of him for the Colombo Museum or the Badulla Kachcheri, where it should be of as much interest as those of his wife's- parents in the Museum at Stratford.

As readers of ' N. & Q.' doubtless know, there is a small district, with a post office of its own, near Parkstone, Dorset, called Lilliput. In the adjacent town of Poole, and in other neigh- bouring towns, such as Christchurch, there live families of Gullivers, a family name which has existed for centuries in those parts. I have often wondered if Swift had seen or heard of these two names, and used them for his immortal work. Or is Lilliput merely a name of modern invention for the district, as fitting to go harmoniously with the long-descended Gulliver ? A. R. JOHN WHITFIELD, GENT. Is anything known of this personage ? His will, proved in the Commissary Court of Canterbury, 1692, vol.

If a member wants to address the House in a speech, supposed to be addressed to the Speaker, beginning with such words as " Mr. Speaker, Sir," or " Mr. Speaker," his hat has no part in the matter, unless it be that the member thinks that he has a better chance of " catching the Speaker's eye " by the sudden removal of his hat. Sometimes a member puts on his hat in preparation for that purpose. Of course the member must be bare- headed when he addresses the House. He need not, however, have his hat with him. Formerly most members, other than Ministers, Opposition Front Bench men, and Whips, wore their hats when seated in the House.<noinclude><references/></noinclude> t5wqktjcanccji4vo4p1j5aakkk082u Page:Notes and Queries - Series 11 - Volume 12.djvu/314 104 2852133 15135779 9489508 2025-06-14T22:39:04Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT 15135779 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Wikisource-bot" /></noinclude>306 NOTES AND QUERIES. r t ii s. xn.

W. will find interesting information about the matter he refers to in an * Enquiry into the Law and Practice in Scottish Peerages,' by John Riddell, p. 628 et seq. It would be interesting if some further information could be gathered about the arly branches of the Fleming family, the Flemings of Bord, of Boghall, and of Baro- chan, who were acknowledged and included in most of the entails of the Earls of Wigton. Are any of these families still represented ? J. F. G. ALICE HOLT FOBEST (US. xii. 258). In the Register of John de Pontissara, Bishop of Winchester from 1282 to 1304, on fo. 114a is a paragraph headed : " Ceo sunt les bundes de la foreste de Asiholt et de Wclve- mere les queus soleent estre en le tens le Rey Johan." The boundaries as given would certainly include the great wood above Bentley which now goes by the name of Alice Holt, and I feel no doubt that the latter is a corruption of the former. There are etymological difficulties in tracing the first element cf this word to ash. Searle in his ' Onomasticon Anglo-Saxonicum ' gives Asi and A esc as men' s names. The holt may have been on the property of an A si or Aesc.

A PHANTOM PARLIAMENT (11 S. xii. 29). The ' k Phantom Parliament " inquired about by MB. PBITCHABD is not connected with a King of Prussia, but must refer to the visions seen by Charles XI. of Sweden. The story is briefly this : The King was sitting late in his private cabinet. He was gloomy and ill at ease. It may have been owing to the recent death of his Queen, who, it was well known, had not led a happy existence with him. He was advised by his physician, who was present, to retire for the night, but declined. Going to the window, he looked out, and to his surprise noticed that the windows of the great hall situated in the opposite wing of the palace were brilliantly illuminated. Getting no satisfactory reply from his alarmed courtiers, he determined to investi- gate the cause himself. Accompanied by his companions, who endeavoured to dis- suade him, he passed round the corridors until he came to the door of the Great Hall- When the door was opened he was astonished to find the hall filled with a great multitude of people. There were assembled the four orders of the State the nobility, the clergy, the citizens, and the peasants ; while on a raised dais, on a seat usually occupied by the King when addressing his subjects, was a bleeding corpse habited in the robes of royalty. On the right of this awful spectacle stood a child wearing a crown and holding a sceptre in its right hand. Near the throne were several severe and dignified persons robed as judges. None of the spectres appeared to notice the entrance of the King, but just then a young man of noble aspect was led in and beheaded, the head actually rolling to the King's feet, and splashing him with blood. The King now solemnly adjured one of the spectres to speak. The reply was that the scene now before the King was prophetic, and would be re-enacted in the flesh, when five monarchs should have succeeded him on the throne of Sweden.

During the present month (March) the Trustees of the Melbourne Public Library have acquired possession of .an interesting document, which seems to deserve mention in ' N. & Q.' It is a fragment of a number of The Bristol Journal for 27 July, 1771, containing the news of the discovery of Australia (by Capt. Cook). Strange to say, no mention is made of Capt. Cook. The report in The Bristol Journal is as follows : " Dr. Solander and other gentlemen, who lately sailed round the world in the Endeavour frigate, discovered a southern continent in the latitude of the Dutch Spice Islands, the inhabitants of which are hospitable, ingenious, and civil, of a copper complexion, but handsome and well made. Mr. Banks passed some months among them, and col- lected many fine and curious plants, never seen in Europe before ; and, though these people were so politely civilised, it is very extraordinary that they have no kind of worship or religion among them. Two of the natives came voluntarily with Mr. Banks to Batayia, where they were amazingly struck with the sight of coaches and horses, having never seen either horses, cows, or sheep at George's Land, though they have many hogs. They were extremely surprised also at the sight of themselves and company in a looking-glass, but both died of the flux at Batavia. From this voyage we expect many discoveries and much entertainment. They had an excellent observation of the transit of Venus, but the ingenious Mr. Green died upon his return. Upon their arrival the Admiralty seized all the officers' papers." The document was acquired for a com- paratively trifling sum. ALEX. LEEPEB. Trinity College, Melbourne University.

HAMPSTEAD MARSHALL AND SIR BALTHAZAR GERBIER, IN an article in Country Life, 29 March, 1913, on Hampstead Marshall, Berkshire, the writer (C. W.) says : "Even in the building of his houses he [Lord Craven] was not unmindful of the influence of the Queen [of Bohemia]. The ' stately pile ' which he set up at Hampstead Marshall was nothing less than a modest imitation of Heidelberg. It may well have been intended as a habitation for the Queen of Bohemia, since, though it was begun early in 1662, the year of her death, it was apubtless planned on her return to England. The history of the site is ancient and honourable. Originally the property of the Mareschalls or Marshalls, Earls of Pembroke, Hampstead Marshall came into the possession of the Bigods, Earls of Norfolk, and passed, in 1306, into the hands of the King. In the reign of Queen Elizabeth, Sir T. Parry, Treasurer of the Queen's Household, acquired it, and there built for himself a noble mansion. From his hands it passed to those of William Craven, Lord Mayor<noinclude><references/></noinclude> i8p2v8oip9wfs1tjg0e9y5l79kpk57x Page:Notes and Queries - Series 11 - Volume 6.djvu/144 104 2855402 15135782 9493566 2025-06-14T22:39:07Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, PORTBAIT → PORTRAIT 15135782 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Wikisource-bot" /></noinclude>116 NOTES AND QUERIES.

See the tercentenary cata- logue of ' The Portraits, Prints, and Writings of John Milton exhibited at Christ's College, Cambridge,' 1908, pp. 15-17, where Dr. G. C. Williamson describes the miniature by Cooper referred to by M. L. A. as chief among " the large group of pretended portraits." With regard to its history after being sold to Reynolds, it is stated that " the President bequeathed it to the Reverend William Mason, who in his turn, by his will, in 1797, left it to William Burgh, Esq., LL.D., of York, and from him it passed into the possession of the Morritt family, and has been preserved at Bokeby for many years." That Sir Joshua was satisfied of its authen- ticity seems clear, but that his defence of it in The Gentleman's Magazine was successful can hardly be maintained. EDWARD BENSLY. Of -this Leslie Stephen in the ' D.N.B.,' xxxviii. 37, says : " A miniature by Samuel Cooper once belonged to Reynolds, who had a controversy about it with Lord Hailes in The Gentleman's Magazine for 1791 ; but it seems to be clearly not Milton (Masson, i. 66n., 308-lOn. ; vi. 754-7u; ; and Sotneby, Ramblings,' pp. xvii-xxv ; J. Fitchett Marsh m Lancashire and Cheshire Historic Society, 1855)." There is a Cooper miniature of Milton in the collection of the Duke of Buccleuch at Montagu House. A. R. BAYLEY. WILLIAM PENN OR GEORGE PENNE (US. vi. 49). I cannot answer MR. BEVERIDGE'S question about Walden ; but perhaps I may mention that Macaulay was in error in mentioning William Penn's name in connexion with the ransom of the Taunton Maids. This was granted to the Maids of Honour at Court ; they appointed George Penne of Toller Whelme, co. Dorset, their agent for making the best terms he could with their parents and friends. At the same time George Penne received a grant of 100 prisoners for himself, as a set-off against his losses in the Royal cause. See Somerset and Dorset Notes and Queries, vol. ix. p. 353.

S WITHIN, Your correspondent is joining together two independent rimes. The first of them is quoted by Ray in an older form : April showers bring forth May flowers. The other has many forms, but is supposed to be Scottish in origin in the form quoted by Thiselton Dyer : A leaky May and a dry June Keeps the poor man's head abune. Chambers (' The Book of Days ') has : Mist in May, and heat in June, Make the harvest right soon. Dyer again has this, in a somewhat different sense : A good leak in June Sets all in tune. C. C. B. I have been interested in the subject of weather rimes for many years, and have a large collection of notes and cuttings dealing with the subject. I have never before heard that the two couplets mentioned by SILO were in any way connected. I believe them to be totally distinct effusions, and not fragments of a larger effort. JOHN T. PAGE.

' ' If you please to fall back a little, n says Sir Roger, " because it is necessary to look at the three next pictures at one view ; these are three sisters.

SHAKESPEABE AND THE MOUNTJOYS. How came Shakspere to know and dwell with the French Mount joys of Silver Street in the way so excellently worked out by Prof. Wallace ? One can only surmise, but it seems to me very possible that the first con- nexion was through Richard Field. On 21 Aug., 1592, John Shakspere was one of the appraisers of the goods of Henry Field, tanner, of Stratford-on-Avon. Henry's son Richard, like many another youth of those days, and these, came to seek fortune in London, where be became apprentice to Vautrollier, the French printer. The end of that apprenticeship, like the end of Stephen Billott's, was that in 1588 he married into the family, and let us hope, with happier results. In any case, Field, having wedded Vautrollier's daughter (some say widow; but that, on the point of age, seems impossible.), finally took up his business on Vautrollier's death (see Mrs. Stopes on this, 'Shakespeare's Warwickshire Contem- poraries,' pp. 6, 7). That Shakspere knew Field is certain. Field it was who entered ' Venus * in the Stationers'' Registers on 18 April, 1593, and assigned it to Master Harrison, sen., on 25 June, 1594, and who published ' Lucrece.' If Jacqueline Field and Vautrollier knew the Mount joys and it seems likely it would be thus that the Shakspere-Mount- joy connexion started. JOHN MUNBO. SHAKESPEABE ALLUSIONS.

' A CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE PUBLICK BUILDINGS, &c., IN LONDON,* 1734 (11 S. i. 189). A second edition of this work was published in 1736. Anderson, ' British Topography,' 1881, gives the title thus : ' A new critical review of the public buildings, statues, and ornaments, in and about London and Westminster,' second edition, London, 1736, 12mo. He does not supply the name of the publisher. Lowndes also mentions the 1736 edition as having been sold at the Xassau sale for 7s. The publishers of the second edition were possibly the same as those of the first. Lowndes unhesitatingly attributes the authorship of the book to " James Ralph," and terms it "a satirical piece." Presumably, this second edition is the one to which MB. ABRAHAMS refers. W. SCOTT. STAVE PORTERS (11 S. i. 10). I think the origin of this sign must be in accordance with the editorial note, and for this reason. Among the Beaufoy tokens there is one which Mr. Burn describes erroneously, I think as the Two Drovers ; but there is nothing to indicate with certainty that this is so, for the token bears a representa- tion of two men with staves. These are evidently the cowl-staves, or stangs, used to carry burdens, supported on the shoulders of two bearers, and seen in the sign of " The Two Brewers," "The Two Draymen," &c., who are represented thus carrying a cowl, which is a tub or barrel used for conveying water or beer. Thus also the sign of "The Bunch of Grapes n is represented by two cowl -staff porters bearing an enormous bunch of grapes between them ; and we may even go back as far as the days of Pompeii (A.D. 70) for an instance in which two slaves are bearing a wine-amphora lKween them, suspended from such a staff. This was the sign of a wine merchant. J. HOLDEN MACMlCHAEL. Two men carrying a load too heavy for one, slung on a stave or pole between them from shoulder to shoulder, would virtually be "stave porters." When a lad I saw blocks of stone carried in this way, by means ' a short, but stout pole thrust through or under a chain passed round the block. I remember, too, seeing in Derby some casks and boxes warehoused in this manner in the bottom floor of a building. In " s tang-riding " the effigy was carried in this manner, tied on a stang or stave. In fact, amongst Derbyshire folk the name of a pole of this kind was " a stang." In the villages where the spring or well was some distance from the houses- often the case the children went for pails of water, bringing it home on a stang put through the handle of the pail. THOS.

I under- stand that a coloured crayon drawing of Mrs. Browning appeared in a London saleroom in 1908, but I have been unable to trace it. Can any reader give me information regarding its present ownership ? W. J. WILLIAMS. The Bungalow, Addlestone, S.O., Surrey. GLADSTONE ON THE UPAS TBEE. Can .any reader kindly give me a reference to Gladstone's use of the phrase "upas tree " ? I believe he used it in a speech, or perhaps a letter, during the sixties. My search has liitherto been fruitless, and I shall be glad to trace the occasion on which Gladstone used the words. H. T. C. " THAT MAN is THOUGHT A DANGEBOUS KNAVE." A poem, belonging, I think, to the middle of the last century, and entitled, I believe, ' The Men of Old,' begins : That man is thought a dangerous knave, Or zealot plotting crime, Who for advancement of his kind Is wiser than his time. Who is the author ? E. V. L. * BBITONS, STBIKE HOME! ' Who wrote the words of this song ? V. H. C. [The song is No. 44 in Dr. F. J. Sawyer's ' Graded iSchool-Song Book ' (published by the Vincent Music Company), but a note at the head of it says : " Modern words by F. J. S., except verse 3, which is traditional."] ' RALPH ROISTEB DOISTER.' Udal died in 1555. Is there any authority for suggest- ing that the prayer for the Queen with which the play ends was written by another hand in praise of Mary's successor ? It is true that the " flagellant head master of Eton " was not in disfavour with Mary, but would a divine with such Protestant leanings have prayed that she should defend the faith ? If J. A. Symonds and the editors of the play in " The Temple Dramatists " are correct, ' Ralph Roister Doister ' was written before 1553, and therefore before any queen sat on the throne of England. The lines are quite in keeping with Eliza- bethan eulogy. The play was not printed until, the eighth year of Elizabeth's reign. P. A. McELWAINE. SHAKESPEABE : TALLIS & Co.'s EDITION. I shall be glad to learn the literary value of the three-volume edition of Shakespeare's works, published by Messrs. Tallis & Co. I subjoin a copy of the title-page.

[ii & vi. OCT. 19, 1912. PORTRAIT OF SlR PETER LELY. In the will of Richard Lely of Lincoln's Inn, barrister-at-law, proved in P.C.C. 22 Dec., 1736 (273 Derby), is the following bequest : " To my friend Richard Backwell, esquire, of Great Billing, Northamptonshire, a three-quarter head of Sir Peter Lely painted by himself." Where is this portrait now ? The testator, Richard Lely, was son of John Lely and grandson of the great painter. He mentions in his will his eldest son John Maecenas Lely, his youngest son Francis Scrope Lely, his daughter Rebecca Lely, and his brother Peter Lely. Is not this Peter Lely the same person as Peter Lely of Lincoln, attorney-at-law, who was buried at Fiskerton, 8 Aug., 1761 ? See pedigree in ' Lincolnshire Pedigrees ' (Harleian Society), p. 594. Mr. Larken and Canon Maddison seemed unable to trace the connexion between Peter Lely of Lincoln and the painter, but this will was unknown to them. W. G. D. F. " COMMUNION HALPENS." In the Church- wardens' Accounts of St. Nicholas's, Warwick, an entry similar to the following constantly appears on the receipt side : " Item for the Recette of the com- munion for the hoolle yere . . . . iiijs. vjd." This is occasionally followed by " Item Receiued at the Communion at Easter the summe off . . . . xijs. jd.," but more frequently (as in 1577) by ' Item Receauyd at Easter for the communion halpens . . . . xs. xjd.," and in the following year : " Item Receiued at Easter for the Com- munion halpens of the parisshe . xiijs." In 1580 : " Item Receiude towardes breade & wyne at Easter ^, . . ,. xs. viijrf." In 1581 : ' ' Item Receaued off the parisshe by custom as the receue at the com- munion for the hoolle yere . . . . x.," but in the next year there is a repetition of the expression " communion halpens, xjs. iiije?." I am not at all clear as to the correct inference to be drawn from these entries, and shall be much obliged to any of your readers who will kindly enlighten me. Is the word " halfpence " loosely applied to the total of the " Communion money " collected on the Sundays (other than Easter Day), with or without a celebration ? or were " halfpence " contributed by the parishioners during the year to enable the churchwardens to purchase bread and wine for the Easter Communion ? A. C. C.

(See ante, pp. 181, 202, 223, 243, 261, 282.) May I ask a question respecting the epitaph quoted by MR. J. C. FRANCIS at the penultimate reference ? Is it known from whom it emanated, and does it refer to a genuine tombstone memorial ? If so, I shall be glad to know its location. In Southam Churchyard, Warwickshire, the following version of the last four lines appears on a stone to the memory of " John Dixon, who died April 26th, 1831, aged 76 years " : This monumental stone will show Where lies an honest man ; Let monarchs who are laid as low Rise higher if they can. I am specially interested in " honest '* epitaphs, as will appear from a reference to 9 S. x. 306. JOHN T. PAGE. Long Itchington, Warwickshire. JOHNSON'S ' DICTIONARY : : " OCEAN. "- In his 'Life.' John Taylor, oculist to George III. and George IV., states (vol. i. p. 7) that Derrick the poet suggested to Dr. Johnson the omission of the word " ocean " from the first edition of the ' Dictionary.' Is there any known corroboration or explana- tion of this suggestion ? MARGARET LAVINGTON. JENNER FAMILY. A Robert Jenner was .presented to the living of Lydiard Millicent, Wilts, 1665, by William Jenner of Marston r Wilts (see ' Church Plate of Wiltshire,' by J. E. Nightingale, F.S.A.). A memorial slab on the floor of the church on left of the south entrance records his death on 20 March, 1723, aged 88, with arms, A fesse between three fleurs-de-lis. According to Foster's ' Alumni Oxon.' he was described as " plebs " on matriculating at Magdalen, 1651. He held a living in Worcestershire ( ?), 1663-70. It may be that he is identical with Robert, son of William Ginner, of Marston Meysey, baptized on 1 Dec., 1636, at Meysey Hampton Church. On 29 May, 1671, there is an entry in the Lydiard Millicent register of the baptism of a son of the rector, another Robert, who also matriculated at Magdalen, 1687, aged 16 ;<noinclude><references/></noinclude> cvf80ocr573xjulkgkbl3k9vk7d2ihn Page:Notes and Queries - Series 10 - Volume 11.djvu/68 104 2858685 15134624 9497822 2025-06-14T21:54:08Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT, PORTBAIT → PORTRAIT 15134624 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Wikisource-bot" /></noinclude>52 NOTES AND QUERIES. [io s. XL JAN. IG, 1909 Paul Bushe, Prior of the Bonhommea at Edington in Wiltshire, was appointed first Bishop of Bristol (a see then newly created), 16 June, and consecrated 25 June, 1542 ; and it is not likely that he married until he became a bishop, or until after the death of Henry VIII. At the entrance to the north choir aisle from the Lady Chapel in Bristol Cathedral there is a canopied tomb (with an emaciated cadaver under the canopy) which is said to be that of Bishop Paul Bushe ; his wife, Edith Ashley by name, lies buried close by under the altar steps. The epitaph and Latin verses connected with it are recorded by Browne Willis. Whether they are now existent I do not know. They may have been renovated, but they seem worthy of a place here : " Hie jacet Dominus Paulus Bush primus hujus Eeclesiae Episcopus, qui obiit 11 die Octobris A.D. 1558. JEtatis suse 68. Cujus animse propitietur Deus. Dignus qui primam circum sua tempora mitram Indueret, jacet hie Bristoliense decus. A patre Bush dictus, Paulum Baptisma vocavit, Virtu te impleyib nomen utrumque sua. Paulus Eclintonise bis messes preco secutus instituit populum dogmate, Christe, tuo. Ille animos verbis impensis payit egenos, Hinc fructum arbusto prsebuit illesuo. Ut madidos arbusba juyant, sic foedere rupto Inter discordes pacificator erat. F. DE H. L. MB. A. C. JONAS at the penultimate refer- ence is mixing up two bishops called William Barlow : the first (successively occupant of the sees of St. Asaph, St. Davids, Bath and Wells, and Chichester) died in August, 1568 ; the second (successively occupant of the sees of Rochester and Lincoln) died 7 Sept., 1613. The query appears to be as to who was the first Englishman to marry after becoming a bishop. William Barlow, son of the first above mentioned, was born at St. Davids when his father was bishop, i.e., between 1536 and 1549. Bush became Bishop of Bristol in 1542. If, however, the query is, What English married man first became bishop ? the answer is surely Cranmer, who had recently married his second wife, the niece of Osiander, when he became Archbishop of Canterbury in 1533. As Henry VIII. did not approve of married clergy, Cranmer " shut his wife up in a box." Dr. Nicholas Harpsfield, Archdeacon of Canterbury, thus writes (Camden Soc., Second Series, xxi. 275) : "' The Archbishop of Canterbury was married in King Henry his days, but kept his woman very jlose, and sometime carried her about with him in a great chest full of holes, that his pretty nobsey might take breath at. In the meanwhile it so chanced that his place at Canterbury was set on fire [18 Dec., 1543] ; but lord what a stir and care was there for this pretty nobsey and for this chest ; all other care in a manner was set aside. He caused that chest with all speed to be conveyed out of danger, and gave great charge of it, crying out that his evidences and other writings which he esteemed above any worldly treasure was in that chest ; and this I heard out of the mouth of a gentleman that was there present, and knew of this holy mystery.' The word nobsey is not in ' N.E.D.' Holgate, when Archbishop of York, was married after banns 15 June, 1549 ; but it was said the parties had been privately married at an earlier date. In 1549 he was, on his own admission, sixty-eight, and Harpsfield calls him " about four score years of age," and says that his wife (Barbara, daughter of Roger Wentworth) was " a young girl of fourteen or fifteen years of age " (loc. cit.). JOHN B. WAINEWKIGHT. Again I ask if there is not an error, this time with respect to the bracketed remark, " [By Matthew Parker, Archbishop of Canterbury] London, Rd. Jugge, 1556." If I am correct, Matthew Parker was conse- crated Archbishop on 17 Dec., 1559 (one of the consecrators being Bishop Barlow). I fail to see how Archbishop Parker could have written a treatise published in 1556. He may have written it prior to his becoming Archbishop. ALFBED CHAS. JONAS. Thornton Heath. [The explanation is as suggested. Halkett and Laing and the 'D.N.B.' attribute the authorship of ' A Defence of Priests' Marriages ' to Parker. MR. A. B. BEAVEN also points out that there were two bishops named William Barlow.] MILTON: PORTRAIT AS A BOY (10 S. x. 508). If the picture in question was painted by the Frederick Newenham (1807-59) who exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1838, it can have no historical significance. A. R. BAYLEY. In Dr. G. C. Williamson's privately printed work ' The Portraits, Prints, and Writings of John Milton exhibited at Christ's College, Cambridge, 1908,' there is a list (pp. 89, 90) of ' Various Pretended Portraits dis- covered since Marsh's List,' i.e., since Mr. John Fitchett Marsh's publication (cp. 10 S. x. 445) in the Transactions of the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire, vol. xii. (1860). The last entry in this list (No. 266 of the engravings) is : " Modern mezzo- tint by Cousins after a so-called original at Eton." L. R. M. STBACHAN.

[io s. XL FEB. 27, im Counties Magazine, dealing with Suthrige or Surrey. I cannot give the exact reference, as I am abroad, but it deals in a new and interesting way with the place-termination -rige, and might throw some light on the analogous name Eastry. W. F. PRIDE ATJX. Grand Hotel, Locarno. In an article on the derivation of Surrey in The Home Counties Magazine for July, 1901 (vol. iii. pp. 198-205),' Mr. T. le Mar- chant Douse, following Prof. Kluge, pointed out similarities in the early forms of Eastry and Surrey, and inferred that they are de- rived from the same tribal name, being the East and South Riges respectively. He further identified the Riges with the Rugi of Germany, A. MORLEY DA VIES. Winchmore Hill, Amersham. Lambarde in his ' Perambulation of Kent,' written in 1576, says : " Eastrie is the name of a Towne and hundredth within the Lath of St. Augustine, and hath the addition of East for difference sake, from Westrie (commonly called Bye), neere to Winchelsey in Sussex." R. VAUGHAN GOWEB. GLOUCESTERSHIRE DEFINITION OP A GENTLEMAN (10 S. xi. 109). This definition of a gentieman has nothing to do with the county mentioned, but is merely an extract from a littla volume entitled ' The Gentile Sinner, or England's Brave Gentleman : Characterized In a Letter to a Friend, Both as he is, and as he should be,' first published at Oxford, in 1660, according to Anthony a Wood. The second edition, a copy of which lies before me, is dated 1661. The author was Clement Ellis, Fellow of Queen's College, Oxford, who was born at Penrith, Cumberland, and was in 1694 Rector of Kirkby in Nottinghamshire, where he en- joyed " great repute for his Religion and Learning " (' Atheme Oxonienses,' 2nd ed., 1721, pp. 969-70). Wood gives the title of the book as ' The Genteel Sinner,' and adds : " Afterwards came out several edi- tions of it with corrections and additions," so it must have obtained considerable popularity. As the passage in the query has been modernized in spelling, and contain? not a few differences from the original text, an exact copy of what appears on pp. 178-9 of the second edition will no doubt be of interest : " The true gentleman ia one that ia Gods Bervant, the worlds master, and his own man. Hia vertue is his business, his study his recreation, contentednesse his rest, and happinesse his reward. God is his father, the Church is his mother, the Saints his brethren, all that need him his friends, and Heaven his inheritance. Religion is his mistresse, loyalty and justice her ladies of honour ; devotion is his chaplain, chastity his chamberlain, sobriety his butler, temperance his cook, hospitality his housekeeper, Providence his steward, charity his treasurer : Piety is mistresse of the house, and discretion the porter, to let in and out as ia most fit. Thus is his whole family made up of vertues, and he the true master of his family. He ia necessitated to take the world in his way to Heaven, but he walks through it as fast as he can ; and all his businesse by the way is to make himself and others happy. Take him all in two words, he is a man and a Christian." JOHN T. CUBBY. BILLY BUTLER THE HUNTING PARSON (10 S. x. 310, 395, 453 ; xi. 15). The Butler arms, w-hich I copied from Hutchins's 4 Dorset,' iv. 333, are incorrectly blazoned by that historian. On p. 182 he apparently gives them correctly, as Or, on a chief indented azure, three covered cups of the first. V. L. OLIVER. MILL AT GOSPORT, HANTS (10 S. x. 68, 118). I thank W. C. J. for his reply. From information lately received T find that the locality of the mill was rightly stated by me. However, I regret having made a slip with respect to the Civil War incident. The mill mentioned by W. C. J., and graphic- ally described by Sir Walter Besant in ' By Celia's Arbour,' was the " Old King's Mill," Portsmouth, which was burnt down in 1868, and was also the mill connected with the above incident. The sito is occupied by the present Gun Wharf. F. K. 1'. " BROKENSELDE " (10 S. xi. 10, 58, 110). It is now clear that selde does not, in this particular case, mean " shield," but repre- sents the A.-S. seld or selde (it scarcely matters which), a building, abode, shop, shed, or whatever else of the kind seems most suitable. The A.-S. seld, an abode, selde, a porch, are closely related, and appear to be inter- changeable, at a later date. Two references for the M.E. seld are given in Stratmann. As to the etymology, there is no doubt that seld is a mere variant of setl, a settle, abode, residence, dwelling, stall (for beasts), se-e (for a bishop). Sievers has shown that the suffix -Id is merely a later form of -dl or -tl ; the stock examples are neeld, a mere variant of needle ; and spdld, spittle, for spdtl. The root-verb is sittan, to sit.

Dr. Brewer repeats this, with Grose for his authority. Halliwell adds, however, that " elsewhere " the following lines from an unnamed old play are given as the original phrase : A warke it ys as easie to be doone, As tvs to saye, Jacke ! robyson. C. C. B. The connexion suggested with one John Robinson (1727-1802) of Appleby, who rose from obscurity to wealth and power in a surprisingly short time, is, Wheeler says in his ' Diet, of Noted Names of Fiction ' (1866), erroneous.

It is possible that light may be thrown on the puzzling first half of this word by the subjoined vagary of the translator (c. 1450) of ' The Register of Godstow Nun- nery ' (E.E.T.S., p. 554) : " And ij rodes (rods) betwene wewes (? wowes, walls) that strecchen into broken, of the which one rode lieth," &c.

ANTHONY OF VIENNE (10 S. xi. 47, 96, 152). I am sorry to find that I have given the printer's imp more than his due. I did think that he had almost excelled himself in St. Anthony of Vienne. Is it too much to hope that MB. W. C. BOLLAND will give us some information concerning the Military Order known by this name, from that not very accessible work Helyot's ' Histoire des Ordres Monastiques ' to which he refers ? I wonder whence Mr. Robert Davies drew his information as to the particular aspect of St. Antony the Great which was commemorated in the dedication of the hospital at York. Leland merely writes of " The Hospital of St. Antony founded about a 100 Yeres syns by a Knight of Yorkshir called John Langtoun. Sum say that he was Mair of York " (Hearne's edition of ' The Itinerary,' 1770, vol. i. p. 57). Dugdale remarks (' Monas. Ang.,' vol. vi. p. 672) that Drake says the establishment was in Gilly-gate ; wherein Drake must be accounted wrong. It is interesting to know, and may not be without significance, that the cathedral of Vienne is under the invocation of the military martyr St. Maurice, and that not far from St. Anthony's Hospital at York there was an old church likewise dedi- cated to St. Maurice. Miss Arnold-Forster (' Studies in Church Dedications,' vol. iii. p. 320) attributes two churches of that name to York, one in Bedern, and one surnamed " in-the-Suburbs." I know that a modern edition of some St. Maurice stands just out- side Monk Bar. According to Gent (' The Antient and Modern History of the Famous City of York,' p. 190), the chapel belonging to the Vicars Choral in Bedern, the sole religious edifice now there, was named in honour of St. William.

An Act of King William III. in behalf of a Polish ship, dated Gerpines, the 17 /27th day of July, 1691, has already " pass(e)port " : " desiring Our Passeport for the said ship to pass from Limerick. . . . to France " ; and " Provided still that this Our Passport shall remain in force during one voyage, and no longer " (University Library, Amsterdam, Diederichs Papers, No. 125 S.). A. M. C. Amsterdam. "SHIBBOLETH" (10 S. x. 408 ; xi. 36). An amusing story said to be true, and therefore " historical " is told of the use of a similar test. In 1854, when the present State of Kansas was organized into a territory, the point as to whether it should be made a free or a slave State was left to be settled by local option. The question agitated the whole country, and both " Free State " and " Pro- slavery " settlers hastened to make entry there, while every means, lawful and un- lawful, was used to get the upper hand in the controversy. The neighbouring Mis- sourians were rabid pro-slavery men, and the immigrants from New England were just as ardent Free State advocates. It is said that at one stage of the struggle the Missourians tied a cow at each of the chief crossings of the Missouri River, knowing that any immigrant intending to make the passage into Kansas would comment upon the animal.

XL M AR . 27, im the regime of Nicholas I. is ingenious, but its spelling should be consistent. Prof. Wiener's anthology is drawn upon and cited, but the rimes and rhythm of the renderings of Nekrasov are sadly defective (chap, xviii.), and we cannot agree that this bard's " harsh, rough versification seemed meant for a leading article." On the other hand, the prose renderings of Sluchevsky and Pleshcheev read smoothly. From personal experience of the difficulties of poetic translation we agree with the editor as to the virtual impossi- bility of reproducing the melodies of Russian rime. In the translation of Pushkin's epigram on Count Vorontsov, " for this once " does not give the sense of nakonets, at length. The index is incomplete, some references to Bakunin, Gagarin and Merezhkovsky being omitted. The name of Dr. Haas is misspelt in chap. xii. Gorky's play ' Na Dne ' is properly rendered ' At the Bottom ' on p. 497, but on p. 539 it becomes ' The Shelter.' " J. Pollen ' is an inadequate reference to the eminent ex-Indian official and author of ' Rhymes from the Russian.' It is true that great pains have been taken with regard to accents, but Mikhailoysky is wrongly accented on one page, Strakhov differently on the same page, Zhitomir and pirdgi wrongly, and ' Ma Religion ' unnecessarily. The directions for the pronunciation of Russian names are useful, as the need for systematic transliteration a point upon which Prof. Morfill has often insisted has long been pressing The second syllable is not exact in the renderings Merzlakov, Kotlarevsky, and Delanov ; and we prefer to write Dostoievsky while sympathizing with Messrs. Minns and Havelock's aim at economy and simplicity of spelling. The shortcomings of this work, many of which can be removed or modified in future editions, do not blind us to its real importance as a chro- nicle of Russian literature. Allowance being made for the personal views of the industrious author, his work will prove of great assistance and interest to students. Edinburgh Review : January. (Longmans & Co.) ' SCOTLAND IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY ' is an instructive paper on lines not commonly chosen. In no other period of Scotland's history have such great changes taken place. At the beginning of the century the fanaticism of the ministers of the established religion and many of the lay folk was so extreme that it is hard, even now, for an Englishman to comprehend it ; but before the end of the century a great change had come about. The rural ministers in most parishes were as mild as those of the Church of England, and, thanks to the Scotch universities, better trained. Agriculture was at a far lower ebb in the reign of Queen Anne than in most parts of England. " Run-rig," as it was called, which the author rightly assures ius was " a survival of prehistoric agriculture," was universal, and in a bad season many of the cultivators must, we cannot but believe, have been on the verge of starvation. Rents were, as a matter of course, extremely low : in the Forty-Five Lochiel could bring eight hundred fighting men into the field to serve Prince Charlie, although he had a rent-roll of only five hundred a year. The writer goes perhaps somewhat out of his way to denounce the atrocities of the Duke of Cumberland after Culloden. He is not a jot too severe it would be difficult to be so but it cannot be said to be pertinent to his subject. ' Venice and the Renaissance ' is instructive in a new manner, and is effectively written. The author suggests that the settlers there may have been of Oriental blood, or, if that be going further than the evidence warrants, there was at least an Eastern admixture sufficiently strong to affect art and culture. In many other parts of Italy the Renaissance gave a great impetus to materialistic intellectualism ; in Venice, on the contrary, we find idealistic emotionalism. The arts of the Venetians, and in a less degree their manners and literature, indicate this. Intellectualism, as the author points out, dwelt on form, even in its pictures, but the idealistic Venetians on colour. Here he is certainly correct, but this is not limited to Italy. We have but to compare the arts of the Middle Ages with those of the eighteenth century to be assured of this. ' A School of Irish Poetry ' will teach many persons not a little that is new. We believe that the modern verse of Ireland is far less known than it ought to be. The moods here dwelt upon are Celtic, but the Celticism is of to-day, not that of earlier times. E. A.'s verse, as here quoted, is certainly of a high standard, but we find it not a little hard to grasp what is meant by "the ascetic standpoint " and " Manichean moods." It may be that our own interpretation of these phrases is not identical with that of the reviewer. The Newspaper Press Directory. (C. Mitchell & Co.) THIS valuable record of the newspaper world is always welcome to those who wish to know about the progress and changes of the Press. The publishers' address refers to two important changes during the past year : The Times was formed into a new company with a capital of 750,0002. ; and The Westminster Gazette was sold by Sir George Newnes, and formed into a com- pany with a capital of 150.000Z. There is an interesting article on the new Act relating to the admission of the Press to meetings ; also articles on the import trade to the Colonies, showine in a tabulated form the chief features of the prin- cipal customs tariffs. The obituaries of the year include Lord Glenesk ; Mr. Taylor of The Bristol Times ; Sir James Knowles, editor of The Nineteenth Century ; and Mr. David Syme, of The Melbourne Age. to We must call special attention to the following notice* ON all communications must be written the name and address of the sender, not necessarily for pub- lication, but as a guarantee of good faith.

M.D. [C. C. B. arid MR. F. HOWARD COLLINS also thanked for replies.] TENNYSON CONCOBDANCES (10 S. xi. 261). To the information concerning William Brightwell given by MB. RALPH THOMAS I am able to make a small addition. Some fifty years ago he was chief assistant master at Edenfield School, Doncaster. There, at that time, he had for one of his colleagues his younger brother George. Both were liked by the boys generally, although George was not an athlete. William was a cricketer, and encouraged the school eleven by zealous interest in their matches. These brothers were men of considerable ability in litera- ture and art. They were always ready to aid and befriend their pupils, many of whom, I have no doubt, remember them with gratitude. F. JABBATT. Goodleigh Rectory, Barnstaple. "SASKATOON" (10 S. xi. 207). The botanical name of the fruit called saskatoon berry is Amelanchier canadensis, syn. Aronia ovalis, Pyrus sanguined, Pyrus botryapium, Mespilus canadensis, &c. ; English names, June berry, shad berry, partridge berry, service berry, &c. It is a shrub, occasionally a small tree, common all over the northern part of this continent. The variety abun- dant in Saskatchewan is alnifolia. The Cree word for berry is menis, pi. menisa ; red berries, misaskivutoominesa. The French voyageurs called it la poire, reflecting the resemblance to the pear which is seen in some of the botanical names. Probably, as soon as the English came in contact with the word, they promptly cut it down to "saskatoon" ; but I cannot find this word in print before 1875, when it appears in the table of contents (but not in the text or the index) of the Earl of Southesk's ' Sas- katchewan and the Rocky Mountains.' Many of the early writers on the North-West, such as Harmon, Palliser, Hind, &c., men- tion the fruit, but not by that name. The name saskatoon was conferred on the place in 1885 by a colonization company formed under the Sir John Macdonald regime. AVEBN PABDOE. Legislative Library, Toronto. MELAMPUS AND THE SAINT (10 S. x. 68). " I am shut out of the wondrous world where walked Melampus and the Saint " is the lament of Michael Fairless's Roadmender after describing his experience in waking to find himself watched by a snake. The two did not walk the world together. The story of Melampus, the famous seer of Greek myth, as given by Apollodorus (' Biblio- theca,' I. 9, 11), is that after he had be- stowed funeral rites on a slain pair of serpents and reared their young, these in gratitude cleansed his ears with their tongues one day as he lay asleep ; whereupon he received the power to understand the speech of birds ; and of other creatures too, it would seem, since later, when imprisoned, he " heard certain wood-worms overhead talking among themselves, and telling how ' the roof -beam was now well-nigh eaten through.' " See this part of the story as told in the ' Saga of Melampus ' note in Butcher and Lang's translation of the ' Odyssey ' (xv. 225). There is a curiously close parallel to the last episode in the story of ' Chips the Carpenter ' (Dickens, ' The Uncommercial Traveller,' chap, xv.), where Chips overhears the rats calculating when they will have eaten through the ship. By " the Saint " St. Francis of Assisi is presumably meant. One is familiar with stories of his kindly feeling towards birds and animals generally; but is there any legend of his understanding their language ? EDWABD BENSLY. Aberystwyth. JOANNA SOUTHCOTT'S CELESTIAL PASS- PORTS (10 S. x. 405; xi. 16, 137). In a pamphlet entitled ' Joanna Southcott the Professed Prophetess,' by "Honestus," " Printed for the author by J. & J. Had- dock," Warrington, 1814, are given the words of her " seals " as they appear ante, p. 137, except that "The" before "Elect" is omitted, that the stops are different, and that " precious," " tree," and " life " begin with capitals (p. 11). On pp. 15, 16, is the following : "It is now fully ascertained that Joanna Bells her seals. The price at first was a guinea ; it then sank to half a guinea, and now I believe the price is not more than half a crown .... This enriching expedient was luckily suggested to Joanna, as she was sweeping her master's shop, when at the upholsterers. She discovered a seal with the very appropriate intials J. S. This she boldly declared was sent to her from heaven, with her own name engraved, and as courageously backed this assertion with another, that she had been divinely admonished of the arrival of this miraculous seal by a vision." " Honestus " asserts that she sold her seals to about 8,000 persons.

With Illustrations in Colour by PAUL WOODROFFE and Songs by JOSEPH MOORAT. Demy 4to, 10s. 6d. net. The Publishers confidently believe that the faery fantasy and deep allegorical suggestion of c The Tempest ' have never been so exquisitely rendered as in these beautiful pictures by Mr. Woodroffe. Mr. Woodroffe has no affectations ; he is no mannered poseur of the studio. There is nothing in his pictures designed to astonish or excite the incredulity of the spectator ; he attempts no artistic gymnastics. But with rare sympathy, and not a little of the intense feeling of the poetic interpreter, he lays his ear to the heart of the poetry, and draws what is suggested to him in the full glow of sincerity and intuition. .

This obsolescent phrase occurs in Carlyle's ' Frederick the Great,' where it is used in the author's characteristic way to describe the personality of the second Elector of Brandenburg : "Young Friedrich II., upon whom those Berlin Burghers had tried to close their gates, till he should sign ' Capitulation ' to their mind, got from them, and not quite in ill-humour, that name Ironteeth : ' Not the least a Nose-of-wax, this one !

MUBBAY for their replies, but my query as to the Jewish origin of Chamberlain remains unsolved. I find that, about thirty years before James Picciotto's ' Sketches of Anglo -Jewish History ' appeared, a little volume was published entitled ' Moral and Religious Tales for the Young of the Hebrew Faith,' adapted from the French of G. Ben Levi by A. Abraham. The prefatory re- marks are dated from Liverpool, May, 1846. On p. 135 Commodore Chambers (not Chamberlain) is referred to as a Jew in the English service. Although the names some- what vary, I am inclined to think they refer to one and the same person. I should like to trace the source of this statement made by Ben Levi and Picciotto. It surely must have some foundation in fact. ISBAEL SOLOMONS. 91, Portsdown Road, W. OVOCA OB AVOCA (1,0 S. x. 308, 397. Ovoca appears from the authorities to be the more correct form. Mr. Joyce in his ' Irish Names of Places,' 3rd ed., 1871, p. 75 says : "The river that he [Ptolemy] calls Oboka appears by its position on the map to be the same as the Wicklow river now so well known as the Avoca ; but this last name has been borrowed from Ptolemy himself, and has been applied to the river in very recent times. Its proper name, as we find in the * Annals,' is Avonmore, which is still the name of one of the two principal branches that form ' The Meeting of the Waters.' " Ovoca is adopted by Robert Fraser in liis Royal Dublin Society's ' Wicklow Sur- vey,' published in 1801 ; by Wm. Shaw Mason in his ' Parochial Survey of Ireland,' published (vol. ii.) 1819 ; and by James Fraser in his admirable and accurate ' Hand- book for Ireland,' 3rd ed., 1844. I may add that the place is generally called Avoca now. L. A." W. Dublin. "PORTIONS": "PENSIONS" (10 S. x. 310, 358, 419). It is with great diffidence that I venture to criticize a note on eccle- siastical matters signed C. J. (ante, p. 358) ; but, so far as my experience goes, " portion " is the name of the part of the revenues of an impropriated benefice allotted by the bishop to the vicar for his sustenance and the payment of ecclesiastical dues. For ex- ample, in Augmentation Office, Miscell. Book XXXVI., the document numbered 28 (19 June, 1354) is the taxation by William, Bishop of Norwich, of the vicar's portion in the parish church of Braunforde and the chapel thereto annexed, appropriated to the abbot and convent of Battle by Clement VI. It is fixed at twenty marks sterling. Q. V. THE ELEVENTH COMMANDMENT (10 S. viii. 268, 418, 478 ; x. 358). I never heard of Barrili's novel ' L'Undecimo Comanda- mento ' until I read MB. HILL'S letter at the last reference, nor can I claim to have read the novel I mentioned in a previous com- munciation on this subject. The latter was published in 1903 or 1904, and to the best of my recollection Woodgate was the name of the author. These facts, such as they are, were fixed in my memory by a news- paper report of a trial of an action for libel, alleged to be contained in the book. R. L. MOBETON. MILITABY BANK-NOTE (10 S. x. 389). This is without doubt only one of the many flash bank-notes of the period. The names Flag, Hill, and Cannon in combination on a military note pronounce it such. I do not think there was such a place as Fort Montague, let alone a bank of that name. I have seen many similar to this note, of very small values ; they were doubtless done to pass off upon unsophisticated people as genuine bank-notes. ABTHUB W. WATEBS. Leamington Spa.

JULY 23, 100*. The Thirty -fourth Report of the Bedford- shire Architectural and Archaeological Society (1881) contains the following : " The Fleetwood Cabinet. During the visit of the Institute several members, who were in- troduced by Mr. H. Tebbs, visited Grove House, Bromham Road, the residence of Miss Corcoran, who kindly allowed the party to inspect the costly ebony cabinet formerly belonging to Bridget, daughter of Oliver Cromwell, who married Lieut. - General Charles Fleetwood after the death of General Ireton, her first husband." The report continues with a minute descrip- tion of the cabinet, and mentions that it was described in one of the magazines in 1841. Can some Bedfordshire reader of this paragraph state who is the present owner, as Miss Corcoran, if living, has apparently removed 1 E. W. B. REV. JOHN WILLIAMS. Can any of your readers give me any information as to the life of the Rev. John Williams, forty years master of Ystrad Meiric Grammar School, Cardiganshire ? He died in 1818. ARTHUR W. THOMAS, M.D. Carmelita, Crabton Close Road, Boscombe. WILLIAM WARTON, 1764. Any clue to the above, who is in the lists of people painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds, will oblige. A. C. H. HONE: A PORTRAIT. I have in my possession a very fine enamel miniature of an unknown lady by Nathaniel Hone, signed, 1749. I should be much obliged if any of your readers could help me to identify it, or tell me if there is an authenticated list of Nathaniel Hone's works. The portrait is in its original pinchbeck frame, and has been in my family very many years. M. NYREN. 14, Clifton Crescent, Folkestone. LISK. I seek information concerning a family named Lisk in Scotland. Nisbet's 4 Heraldry,' vol. i. p. 216, gives : "The name of Lisk, Argent, three mascles azure ; and on a chief gules as many mascles of the first. Font's Manuscript." Nisbet adds no remarks of his own to what he finds in Pont. DAVID C. LUSK. ELIAS TRAVERS'S DIARY. A writer in the British Quarterly Review, vol. Iv. (1872), says the unpublished diary of Elias Travers came into his possession through a friend into whose collection the MSS. of Law (author of * Serious Call ') and those of Dr. Lee, son-in law of Mrs. Jane Lead, passed. Travers (1675- 1681) was chaplain to Sir T. Barn[ar ?]diston,of Kelton Hall. The diary is said to be written in " the minutest character and in very fair Latin." The late Canon Overton, who pub- lished a book on William Law, once wrote to me that he had never heard of this diary or found any trace of it. Can any one tell me anything about this diary 1 Where can it be seen? J. FOSTER, D.C.L. Tathwell Vicarage, Louth, Lines. THE WHITE COMPANY : " NAKER." In Sir A. Conan Doyle's novel of this name the men composing the company are described as English archers, whilst Dr. Brewer, in his * Dictionary of Phrase and Fable,' states that they were "a band of French cut-throats." Were there two " White Companies," or has somebody blundered ? In the novel the word naker is more than once used in the sense of a trumpet ; but does it not properly mean some kind of drum? V. O. B. [ Annandale's ' Imperial Dictionary ' and the * Encyclopaedic ' derive naker from L.L. nacara, a> kettledrum, and so define it.] AIRAULT. Can you give me any particulars of this family, part of which were of Rhode Island, N.Y., about the year 1770? J. PILE. COUTANCES, WINCHESTER, AND THE CHANNEL ISLANDS. On 20 January, 1500, a Bull of Pope Alexander VI. transferred the Channel Islands from the diocese of Coutances to that of Winchester (Rymer's 'Fcedera,' xii. 740). What occasion was there for this Bull ? Was it ever revoked? Edward VI. seems to have ordered that the Bishop of Coutances should be considered as diocesan of the Channel Islands in all things not contrary to the laws of the realm. (See ' S. P. Dom. Add. Eliz./ ix. 38.) Where is the text of this order to be found? At the beginning of Elizabeth's reign the priests of Guernsey were " sworn subjects of the Bishop of Coutances " (' S. P. Dom. Add. Eliz.,' ix. 53). From this it would appear that at some period or other, between 1500 and 1560, the Bull of Alexander VI. had been revoked. Did the Pope or the Queen order anything further in this matter in the reign of Queen Elizabeth ? JOHN B. WAINEWRIGHT. ST. NINIAN'S CHURCH. Bede wrote that St. Ninian's Church was called Candida Casa because it was built of stone, which was unusual among the Britons. Seebohm, in 'The English Village Com- munity,' in a foot-note on p. 239, says : il To make a royal house more pretentious the bark is peeled off, and it is called ' the White House.'"<noinclude><references/></noinclude> r2gzpd1ndo7kq97hb5i1umko0mviwem Page:Notes and Queries - Series 10 - Volume 4.djvu/243 104 2862967 15135769 9504593 2025-06-14T22:38:54Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT 15135769 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Wikisource-bot" /></noinclude>io» s. iv.

His tombstone, with that of his wife Dorothy (who died 1653), is in the churchyard at Burnham, Somerset. It was probably his father or grandfather who, 22 Dec., 1532, signed his name " Joh. bechame " as witness to the will of Joh. Parsons, who was buried in the churchyard of Buryngton (Weaver ' Wells Wills,' 1890, pp. 36, 207). Any other information about the family will be welcome. FBEDK. A.

In the beginning of the nineteenth century there lived at Wandsworth, in Surrey, Mr. and Mrs. Atkinson and their many children. The parents died in 1831 and 1843. One of their daughters lived, as a companion, with Lady Neale, wife of Admiral Sir Harry Burrard Neale, at Wal- hampton, and was adopted by them. She married, in 1821, a French gentleman, and died in 1860. Can anybody tell me the origin of the relations between Admiral Neale and this Atkinson family ? Are there yet any representatives of this family ? COMMANDANT REBOUL. Cosne (Nievre). KlBKBBIDE OF ELLEBTON, CuMBEBLAND.

In particular, I desire information with regard to the marriage, about the year 1500, of Cyssley, daughter of John Kirkbride of Ellerton, to Thomas Hewitt. The Kirkbride arms were Argent, a saltire engrailed vert. A reply, either through your columns or to me direct, will be highly esteemed. J. A. HEWITT, Canon. Cradock, South Africa. CHATTEBTON PORTRAIT. In ' N. & Q.' for 20 June, 1857 (2 S. iii. 492) is a letter on the above subject signed E. S. FTJXCHEB (Gainsborough's biographer), in which refer- ence is made to a reputed portrait of Chatter- ton in the possession of a Mr. Naylor, " whose address J. M. G. may learn from the Editor of ' N. & Q.' >; I hope that I may yet trace J. M. G. and his portrait, and shall be glad to know if there have been other references to the subject, in addition to that in ' N. & Q.' for 13 May, 1882 (6 S. v. 367). RICHABD QUICK, Superintendent. Bristol Museum and Art Gallery. C. F. DE BBEDA, PORTRAIT PAINTER. I intend to write a biography of this painter, and should be pleased to hear of any refer- ence to him in literature. He exhibited at the Royal Academy, 1788-96, and was a pupil of Reynolds. I also want to know the whereabouts of the following portraits by him : Sir William Chambers, the archi- tect ; Bennet Langton, the friend of Dr. Johnson ; Mary and Jane Langton, his daughters ; Edw. Daniel Clarke, professor at Cambridge ; John Martin Cripps, who travelled with Clarke ; John Peter Salomon, musician ; Louisa Gautherot, violinist ; John Ledyard, traveller ; Dr. Will. Wither- ing, botanist ; Woods, actor, of the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh ; and " Miss Shaw." Who was this " Miss Shaw " ? She must have been well known about 1790, for the newspapers mention her name in this way in the list of the portraits exhibited. Does any one know the full name J of " Mr. Woods," actor ? The portrait of Dr. Will. Withering was exhibited at South Kensington in 1868, and belonged at that time to " Mrs. Alfred Seymour." Who was this Mrs. Seymour ? Do readers of ' N .& Q.' know any other portrait by Breda ? D. E. H. " THE ROSE OF NEWPORT." Is there^a poem in English (I know of one in German by Conrad F. Meyer) on the subject of the " Rose of Newport " the episode of a rose being handed by a girl in Newport to Charles I. on his way to Carisbrooke Castle ? M.

By assiduous practice he was always striving to perfect his skill as a pianist; and, in the course of this period, he produced many of his ablest works, and wrote his introduction to the art of playing the pianoforte, the valuable influence of which has been proved in the many admirable players that have been formed upon its principles. The bankruptcy of the firm of Longman & Broderip in 1800, occasioned a severe loss to Clementi, to repair which, by the advice of his commercial friends, he took the principal share in their establishment, and became a music-publisher and pianoforte manufacturer. From this time, except in the case of professional pupils, he entirely gave up teaching, determining to apply himself to the consideration of improvements in the construction of his instrument, in which he was so peculiarly successful as to raise up the high character of his house, which his partner, Mr. Collard, maintains at the present time. In 1802 Clementi commenced a professional tour, upon which he was longer absent from England than at any time after his first arrival in this country. With his pupil, John Field, he visited Paris and Vienna, and then went to St. Petersburg. Returning to Germany, he appeared, with the success which everywhere attended him, at the chief capitals, and went a third time to Vienna. There, through the misrepresentation of ill-judging friends, Beethoven and he were led each to expect such courteous advances from the other, that both were offended at not receiving them; the two, therefore, were never introduced, and though they not unfrequently dined at the same table in a public room, they neither forgave the slight each one thought he suffered, nor ever spoke to one another. At Berlin, Clementi married the daughter of a poor cantor of St. Nicholas' church, and went with her to his native country, which he had not seen for seven-and-thirty years. Mature as was his age, he was passionately attached to his young wife, whose beauty was remarkable; and he felt severely her death, which occurred within a year of their marriage, in childbirth. He returned to Berlin to place the infant under the care of his wife's relations. There he met with Berger, whom he accepted as a pupil; and, to dissipate his grief in changeful excitement, travelled with him in 1805 again to St. Petersburg, resting at every principal town through which they passed. After this he once more visited Vienna, and was called from thence to Italy by the death of his brother, which necessitated his presence to conclude the arrangements of the family affairs. The troubled state of Europe at this time made it impossible for Clementi to leave his native land before 1810, when he finally returned to England. In 1811 he contracted a second marriage, which produced him several children. He now almost entirely seceded from public life, but ceased not his artistic labours. The formation of the Philharmonic Society in 1813, created the opportunity, which had not before existed in England, for producing orchestral compositions; Clementi was an original member of the society, and he wrote several symphonies—one as late as the year 1824—which were played at the Philharmonic concerts. His great work, "Gradus ad Parnassum," was the occupation of some years; it was published about the year 1818, and soon became a class-book for the pianist, and a study for the composer in every music-school in Europe. He received a cruel shock in his extreme old age, from the accidental death, by fire-arms, of his eldest son. On the 17th December, 1827, the musicians of London, with J. B. Cramer and Moscheles at their head, gave a dinner at the Albion tavern, in honour of Muzio Clementi, the father of the pianoforte. On this interesting occasion, the wonderful octogenarian was persuaded to play, when every one of the large assembly was as delighted as astonished at the freshness of his powers evinced, not only in the marvellous finish of his mechanism, but in the spontaneous beauty of his improvisation. Clementi's playing has left a more lasting impression than that of almost any other executant, since the merits of his style have been handed down, through his many distinguished pupils, to the present generation. Of these pupils, the first in consideration are J. B. Cramer and John Field, both of London; and only less eminent than these were Reuner of St. Petersburg; Klengl. of Dresden; and Berger of Berlin, the master of Mendelssohn. As a composer, Clementi may be said to have done for the pianoforte what Haydn did for the orchestra, by appropriating to it, in the sonata, the grand principles of musical construction which the founder of modern instrumental music developed in the symphony. He was a master of all the resources of counterpoint, with a complete grasp of the powers of modern harmony; and, besides the depth of character resulting from this knowledge, his music is distinguished by energy, fire, and intense passion; tenderness and melodious grace, however, the qualities one would most expect in the writings for his instrument, of an artist whose playing was especially signalized by these points of style, are rarely to be found in his compositions. He wrote no less than a hundred and six sonatas for the pianoforte—some of them with accompaniment for other instruments—besides many works of less extensive form, and his orchestral symphonies. The grandest example of his genius, and the one in which all his best characteristics are combined, is the sonata called "Didone Abbandonata." His extempore playing was such as could only have resulted from the union of his perfections as a composer and as an executant—rich in the fanciful and elaborate development of ideas, it proved at once the mind quick in invention, and the finger ready to give utterance to the thought. Upon the whole, few musicians have exerted greater present, and more lasting influence than Muzio Clementi.—[[Author:George Alexander Macfarren|G. A.

At a very early age he exhibited a decided tendency to art. His schoolboy's slate was covered with caricatures, which flowed over and submerged his arithmetic. He was taken from school—the pedagogue entertaining rather mean notions of his abilities—and apprenticed to his uncle, a tanner. But the tanyard, no more than the farmyard, could quench his persistent love of art. He was caught caricaturing his uncle's customers. It was thought vain to struggle longer with the predilections of one so incorrigible—so incurable. He was apprenticed to Bewick the wood engraver, and soon became known as one of Bewick's most assiduous and promising pupils. Having served out his indentures, he removed to London in 1804, and married the daughter of Charles Warren the engraver. The fame he had already acquired supplied him with as much work as he could execute. Among many other things he engraved the illustrations to [[Author:William Falconer (1732-1769)|Falconer's]] [[The Shipwreck (Falconer, 1762)|Shipwreck]] and [[Author:Samuel Rogers|Rogers']] Poems, after drawings by Stothard. The artist-like character of his work became generally recognized, and Clennell was gradually induced to abandon the graver for the brush. He entered as a candidate for the prize offered by the British Institution for the best picture of the "Final Charge of the Guards at Waterloo." Almost to his own surprise he succeeded and received the guerdon, one hundred and fifty guineas. In 1814 he was commissioned to paint a picture in commemoration of the entertainment given by the city of London to the allied sovereigns. It is believed that the anxieties this entailed upon him, the difficulties he experienced in procuring the requisite portraits, and his own doubts and fears about satisfying those he painted, fairly undermined his reason. He worked away manfully, however—had completed a first sketch of his subject, and was full of arrangements for carrying it further, when, with an awful suddenness, his brain gave way, and for ever. He died in a lunatic asylum on the 9th April, 1840. He had considerable genius, great facility of composition, and very dexterous execution. His best work is perhaps his "Day after the Fair," being excellent in colour and rustic character. His "Market Boats at Brighton" received great admiration. His power as a landscape painter is amply exhibited in his work on the "Border Antiquities."—[[Author:George Walter Thornbury|W.

(Scylax, pp. 1, 51, ed. Hudson; ppw 1, 120, 126, ed. Qronov.) From these testimonies, as well as from the numerous allusions of otlier writers, it appears that the common opinion had become pretty well established from the time of Herodotus. (Gomp. Poljb. iii. 35; Diod. Sic. iv. 18; Dion. Per. 64, 454, and Eustath. ad loe. Palaeph. 52; Philoetr. VU. ApoUon, v. 1, 5, &c) The same thing is evident from numerous passages of Stxabo, who, in the course of a very interesting discussion on the whole subject-, accounts for the various positions assigned to the Pillars as follows (iii. pp. 169 — 172). An oracle had commanded the Tyrians to found a colony at the Pilhirs of Hercules. -The settlers sent out for this purpose, on arriving at the Straits, thought they had reached the term both of the inhabited world, and of the expedition of Hercules; and, taking the rocks of Calpe and Abyla for the Pillars of which they were in search, they landed at a spot within the Straits, where stood, in Strabo s time, the city of the Exitani [Saxetandm] ; but, finding the sacrifices inauspicious, they returned. Another party, sent out some time afterwards, pro- ceeded 1500 stadia beyond the Straits, as far as an island sacred to Hercules, opposite to the spot on the Iberian coast where the city of Onoba afterwards stood; but, again finding the sacrifices inauspicious, these also returned home. A third attempt had for its result the foundation of Gades. Hence it came to pass that some sought the Pillars in the headlands of the Struts, others at Gades, and others at some place even beyond Gades in the Ocean. The general opinion was in fiivour of Calpe and Abyla; but some, smong whom was Artemidorus, took the Pillars to be the small islands near each, of which one was called the Itland of Hera^ by which he seems to mean the islands off C. Trd^falffar^ the ancient Ju- nonis Prom., which headland the authors of this opinion seem to have confounded with CaJpe^ (Comp. the Note to Groskurd's translation, L c.) Some even tiansferred the celebrated rocks called Planetae and Symplegades to the Straits, and identified them with the Pillars of Hercules. Scymnus Ghius, who, like Artemidorus, took the Pillars for islands, places them far within the Straits, at Mabkaca, near the city of the Exitani, above mentioned. (Vv. 142 — 145). 2. As to vfhat the pillars were believed to be, Strabo also gives some interesting information. Some took them for rocky headlands, otliers for islands; the former rising up from the land, the latter out of the sea, like gigantic columns. But othera, regard- ing the custom previonsly referred to, or even taking the word ffrricu literally, looked for cities, or arti- ficial mounds, or columns, or statues, erected either by Hercules himself, to mark the term of his con- quests, or dedicated by Phoenician navigators to this their tutelary deity, to record the extent of their discoveries. (Gomp. Hesych. t.v. trriiKat ti<rr6fMvs.) This literal interpretation, he tells us, prevailed among the Iberians and Libyans, who denied that there was anything at the Straits resembling columns, but pointed out, as the Pillars of Hercules, the bronze columns in the temple of the god at Gades, on which the expenses of building the temple were inscribed. He adds that this opinion was held by Poseidonius, in opposition to the Greeks in general, who considered the pilhira to mean promontories. Strabo's refutation of this opinion is an interesting HKRCULIS PORTUS. 10iS5 etfort of ancient criticism. (Cooip. Strab. i. pp. 21, 32, 47, 49, 51, 52, 56, 58, 64. ii. pp. 67, 68, 71, 78, 79, 84, 86, 89, 90, 93, 101, 105, 108, &c.&c) Not only the nature, but also the immi^, of the Pillanwas disputed; the common opinion making them ttDOf while othere gave the nimiber as one, or three, orjfow, (Hesych. L c) 3. The true reaeon of the name must-be sought for in the fiict that Melcarth, whom the Greeks identified with Heracles, was the tutelary god of th6 Phoenicians, as well as in the Greek legends respect- ing Hercules: how far those legends originated in the Phoenician worship, this is not the place to in- quire. The view generally taken by the Greeks may be collected from the passages of Stnbo just quoted. But the later writers sought for an interpretation from their physical views of the legends of HerculeSi One story was that he tore asunder the rocks which had before entirely divided the Mediterranean Sea from the ocean. (Mela, i. 5. § 8, ii. 6. § 6.) Pliny assigns both reasons (iii. prooem. " Abila Africae, Europae Calpe, laborum fferculis meta: quam ob causam indigenae oolumnas ejus Dei vocant, ere* duntque perfossas exclusa antea admisisse maria, et rerum naturae mutasse fadem.'*) The interesting speculati<Nis of the ancients, respecting the physical changes resulting from the supposed disruption, es- pecially the opinion, discussed by Strabo, that th^ Mediterranean had previously been connected with the Bed Sea, and that the Jttkuuu of Suez was formed by the lowering of the Mediterranean through its new outlet, belong rather to other places in this work [ERrrH&ABCM Marb, Mabb Ikterhum] : but it may be worth while to point out here that Mela {L c) indicates just the opposite opinion, namely, that the Mediterranean was elevated by the influx of the Atlantic; and the same idea is conveyed by Pliny*s phrase of *' admisiste maria.** Another legend was that Hercules forced the two rocks into temporary union to make a bridge for the safe con- veyance of the herds of Geryon to Libya (Avien. Ora 3fariL 326); and another, that he narrowed the Strait, so as to shut out the sea-monstera which had previously made their way in from the Ocean and infested the Mediterranean (Diod. Sic. iv. 18). It only remains to notice that one of the principal paralleb of httitude, by which Eratosthenes and other ancient geqgraphere divided the earth inte KklfAurOy was drawn through the Pillars, passing also through the Straits of Messina, Athens, Rhodes, and the Taurus, to Thinae.

I was actually considering whether it made sense to add logic to [[Template:Person]]/[[Module:Person]] and [[Template:Author]]/[[Module:Author]] for such surname categories (we already have a bunch of them in the module here for other reasons such as occupation) instead of manually adding author and portal pages to such categories.

I cannot say I am particularly familiar with such. I took a brief look at it and I was unable to find your suggestion (with or without objections). That said, after a brief survey, methinks such a request would be a monumental task and I am unconvinced Wikidata would be right place to house such information anyway. There seems to be an entire database of a sort hidden within the template stack there (e.g., [[w:Template:Inflation/US/dataset]] is one such "data" lookup template). This reminds me of the issues with [[w:Template:Taxonomy]] (and its 120k+ subpages, etc.) and the 6k+ templates in [[w:Category:All country data templates]], etc. Presuming Wikidata is the right place, one would first have to consider what is the right way to model such data and then construct a system to make queries from such a model. Perhaps a better solution would be to migrate it to [[mw:Help:Tabular data]] which gets stored in JSON (I believe Wikidata also uses JSON for its semistructured Wikibase data under the hood) in [[m:DataNamespace]] at Commons as a part of [[mw:Extension:JsonConfig]]. There was an interesting/credible attempt to migrate the inflation database to a set of Sribunto Lua modules (see [[w:Template talk:Inflation#Lua version of Template:Inflation/year]] and [[w:Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Sandbox/User:Ahecht/Inflation]]) but it ultimately failed (apparently due to some performance issue). Basically it sounds like you want a better more portable implementation of the inflation data that can then be used here at Wikisource (with the possibility to also eventually renovate existing usage at Wikipedia, etc.). I cannot say I am an interested enough party to spend many man-hours working on such a thing (even if I do have a handle on what might well need to be done). I do not mind discussing such an architecture but I likely won't be committing much time towards actually building such (even though it does sound like a valuable proposal). —[[User:Uzume|Uzume]] ([[User talk:Uzume#top|talk]]) 08:24, 6 December 2024 (UTC) * I agree, "inflation" is too complex to migrate over easily. I got lost trying to work out all the subroutines and data sets it invokes. I have just been calculating and adding the updated dollar amounts into the notes section to give context. The data will gradually lose meaning, but for now lets you see what the $500 reward mentioned in a new article in 1880 would be equal to today. It would be much better if MediaWiki or some other central storage space held these complex templates so they could be invoked by all the projects, and only have to be updated at one place. --[[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|talk]]) 00:29, 20 December 2024 (UTC) == [[Author:John Horne Burns]] == You included the standard PD licence which says that there were works published before 1929.

The template appears to work fine, however, your usage of it appears to be flawed. The [[Template:Scan page link 2/doc|/doc]] pages states: "In the main namespace, this gives a simple, {{strong|unlinked}} label consisting of {{{2}}}, the link label." so it does in fact work just fine for doing that but it appears you are attempting have it link to something else and are providing a {{para|3|{{var|anchor}}}}. If you look at the code for {{tlx|spl2}} you will notice it does not use a third unnamed parameter. I think you can sort of do what you are looking for with {{tlx|spl}} as you can set the anchor (at least in the main namespace). The order of arguments is different however (and one does not need to provide the fragment separator of <code>#</code>). —[[User:Uzume|Uzume]] ([[User talk:Uzume#top|talk]]) 09:02, 22 December 2024 (UTC) ::::::This used to work, i.e. show a different link depending on the namespace. It was akin to {{tl|dpl}} only the template did no maths so it could wrap around words and roman numerals and give different links per namespace the same. That is the only reason that I turned it back to the Billinghurst move; because it used to work (show a different link depending upon the namespace). And just so that I cannot prove it, the history of [[Template:DJVU page link 2]] has been deleted. Inductiveload rewrote them and using the "scan page link" and they worked at that time also. I have a lot of linked toc in my past work here that uses this, you know, because it worked. ::::::I don't really need to be believed, but shouldn't it have a different name now if it is not going to link in the main like spl does? The name was changed from "DJVU" to "scan" because it was confusing as it worked also for pdf or jpg or whatever format of document was at use in the Index space. I think that the similar name applied to two different linking expectations is even more confusing. I will quit bothering you with this. But one last thought. Just because there is a unicycle available, it doesn't mean that everyone needs to use it. Personally, I would need at least two wheels, but that doesn't mean that a second wheel needs to be added to the unicycle. If a second wheel is added to a unicycle for me, (for example) not only does it make it not a unicycle any longer, but it also means that no one will be able to actually be able to use a unicycle. No one that can and no one will be able to learn to use one. Many will be able to use the two wheel contraption that we wrongly call "a unicycle" though.--[[User:RaboKarbakian|RaboKarbakian]] ([[User talk:RaboKarbakian|talk]]) 09:25, 22 December 2024 (UTC) :::::::@[[User:RaboKarbakian|RaboKarbakian]]: I am not sure but I think I might even remember such behavior.

Another is that formatting across a work should be consistent, but there are many ways of doing things, so it makes sense for one editor to do the whole thing in their chosen way.

It seems you had planned to transcribe the entire work as unit project.

I have not touched anything related to that work since I received your first message about this and realized you were actively working on it. Besides validating the thirty-seven pages you had transcribed, I only transcribed five pages, mostly title pages and table of contents pages. I also added twelve main space pages: the main work and eleven chapters as subpages. I also created a CSS style sheet for the Index and added the table of contents pages as transclusions to the Index. Most of the work I did was just organizational based upon the table of contents. :::I do not usually do much in the way of main content Page transcription work. I prefer to help organize things by working on Wikidata, stubbing out author pages (you may have noticed I created [[Author:Marion Kirkland Reid]], [[Author:Hugo Reid (1809-1872)]], etc.), categorizing works on Commons (e.g., I created [[c:Category:Marion Kirkland Reid]] and [[c:Category:Hugo Reid (1809-1872)]], etc.) and setting up Index pages for works in preparation for the proofreading step (i.e., leaving them in "To be proofread") of the the transcription process.

Getting people to actively contribute to things is a precious treasure and much needed resource, and the last thing I want to do is to dissuade or demotivate someone from potentially contributing to valuable public work like Wikisource, etc. It is with a heavy heart, I feel I may have hurt you in this regard and I look forward to your response on this matter and hope you will consider continuing your amazing work here at Wikisource. —[[User:Uzume|Uzume]] ([[User talk:Uzume#top|talk]]) 19:55, 28 February 2025 (UTC) ::::I appreciate you wanting to make things right, but as I alluded to, I want to minimise the drama.

I believe the approach of <code>{{ml|Recto-verso|recto_verso}}</code> is better (e.g., handing roman numeral page numbers, etc.) but I really like {{code|<nowiki>{{subst:}}</nowiki>}}; it is not like page number or their headers are subject to change and need to be recalculated at every page rendering. It would be really nice to do something more complex (e.g., the header at [[Index:The Bondman; A New Saga (IA bondmannewsaga00cain).djvu]]) but at the same time static.

If a casual reader, or even some editors, came across these, they'd be confused and think the page was somehow broken, leading to a more negative perception of the entire site. I wager that your goal was probably to save someone else the extra effort of having to do transclusion themselves, or to "get the hard part out of the way early," since transclusion ''is'' highly technical and annoying.

Doing this, to any page in the mainspace at all, produces a header and a bunch of red links, and also ProofreadPage puts page numbers in the side-bar in a kind of discombobulated way to compensate for the fact that the pages weren't ever created. A reader who picked a version of "[[Battle Hymn of the Republic]]" to read, and it happened to be one of those two links, would get what appears ''to them'' to be some kind of glitch, which would confuse and disorient them, and this kind of thing often makes casual readers question the legitimacy of a site they're looking at. :: But I guess it's not ''that'' big of a deal, since sadly, most of our works don't even go higher than <u>''five''</u> page views per month anyway...

A bot will eventually link them from Wikidata on Monday, but I want to see today how we can have a backlink going in the other direction.

I was actually considering whether it made sense to add logic to [[Template:Person]]/[[Module:Person]] and [[Template:Author]]/[[Module:Author]] for such surname categories (we already have a bunch of them in the module here for other reasons such as occupation) instead of manually adding author and portal pages to such categories.

Could you look at the template at English Wikipedia and see if you understand it enough to migrate it?

I cannot say I am particularly familiar with such. I took a brief look at it and I was unable to find your suggestion (with or without objections). That said, after a brief survey, methinks such a request would be a monumental task and I am unconvinced Wikidata would be right place to house such information anyway. There seems to be an entire database of a sort hidden within the template stack there (e.g., [[w:Template:Inflation/US/dataset]] is one such "data" lookup template). This reminds me of the issues with [[w:Template:Taxonomy]] (and its 120k+ subpages, etc.) and the 6k+ templates in [[w:Category:All country data templates]], etc. Presuming Wikidata is the right place, one would first have to consider what is the right way to model such data and then construct a system to make queries from such a model. Perhaps a better solution would be to migrate it to [[mw:Help:Tabular data]] which gets stored in JSON (I believe Wikidata also uses JSON for its semistructured Wikibase data under the hood) in [[m:DataNamespace]] at Commons as a part of [[mw:Extension:JsonConfig]]. There was an interesting/credible attempt to migrate the inflation database to a set of Sribunto Lua modules (see [[w:Template talk:Inflation#Lua version of Template:Inflation/year]] and [[w:Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Sandbox/User:Ahecht/Inflation]]) but it ultimately failed (apparently due to some performance issue). Basically it sounds like you want a better more portable implementation of the inflation data that can then be used here at Wikisource (with the possibility to also eventually renovate existing usage at Wikipedia, etc.). I cannot say I am an interested enough party to spend many man-hours working on such a thing (even if I do have a handle on what might well need to be done). I do not mind discussing such an architecture but I likely won't be committing much time towards actually building such (even though it does sound like a valuable proposal). —[[User:Uzume|Uzume]] ([[User talk:Uzume#top|talk]]) 08:24, 6 December 2024 (UTC) * I agree, "inflation" is too complex to migrate over easily. I got lost trying to work out all the subroutines and data sets it invokes. I have just been calculating and adding the updated dollar amounts into the notes section to give context. The data will gradually lose meaning, but for now lets you see what the $500 reward mentioned in a new article in 1880 would be equal to today. It would be much better if MediaWiki or some other central storage space held these complex templates so they could be invoked by all the projects, and only have to be updated at one place. --[[User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|RAN]] ([[User talk:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )|talk]]) 00:29, 20 December 2024 (UTC) == [[Author:John Horne Burns]] == You included the standard PD licence which says that there were works published before 1929.

The [[Template:Scan page link 2/doc|/doc]] pages states: "In the main namespace, this gives a simple, {{strong|unlinked}} label consisting of {{{2}}}, the link label." so it does in fact work just fine for doing that but it appears you are attempting have it link to something else and are providing a {{para|3|{{var|anchor}}}}. If you look at the code for {{tlx|spl2}} you will notice it does not use a third unnamed parameter. I think you can sort of do what you are looking for with {{tlx|spl}} as you can set the anchor (at least in the main namespace).

And just so that I cannot prove it, the history of [[Template:DJVU page link 2]] has been deleted. Inductiveload rewrote them and using the "scan page link" and they worked at that time also.

I think that the similar name applied to two different linking expectations is even more confusing. I will quit bothering you with this. But one last thought. Just because there is a unicycle available, it doesn't mean that everyone needs to use it. Personally, I would need at least two wheels, but that doesn't mean that a second wheel needs to be added to the unicycle. If a second wheel is added to a unicycle for me, (for example) not only does it make it not a unicycle any longer, but it also means that no one will be able to actually be able to use a unicycle. No one that can and no one will be able to learn to use one.

One reason is that many people get a sense of satisfaction from seeing a project through from beginning to end. Another is that formatting across a work should be consistent, but there are many ways of doing things, so it makes sense for one editor to do the whole thing in their chosen way. The exception to the norm would be to validate pages, but in that case, not to change the formatting decisions of the original contributor without discussion. ::By jumping in, you've: ::*stopped me from getting the satisfaction of transcribing the whole work; ::*created an unwelcome feeling of urgency on my part by leaving a work in mainspace unfinished; ::*imposed your formatting preferences on me, meaning I either need go to through the unpleasant drama of reverting them all, or do all future proofreading according to your style, against my preferences and at a higher level of complexity. ::You've been around a while, so I would have hoped you'd have picked this up, but I've explained it to give you the benefit of the doubt (in that regard) and make my views clear.

It seems you had planned to transcribe the entire work as unit project. I had no intention of taking over that whole work as project and without noticing you were working on it in such a manner, it seems I have inadvertently interrupted and demotivated you from working on it. I have not touched anything related to that work since I received your first message about this and realized you were actively working on it. Besides validating the thirty-seven pages you had transcribed, I only transcribed five pages, mostly title pages and table of contents pages. I also added twelve main space pages: the main work and eleven chapters as subpages. I also created a CSS style sheet for the Index and added the table of contents pages as transclusions to the Index. Most of the work I did was just organizational based upon the table of contents. :::I do not usually do much in the way of main content Page transcription work. I prefer to help organize things by working on Wikidata, stubbing out author pages (you may have noticed I created [[Author:Marion Kirkland Reid]], [[Author:Hugo Reid (1809-1872)]], etc.), categorizing works on Commons (e.g., I created [[c:Category:Marion Kirkland Reid]] and [[c:Category:Hugo Reid (1809-1872)]], etc.) and setting up Index pages for works in preparation for the proofreading step (i.e., leaving them in "To be proofread") of the the transcription process.

Getting people to actively contribute to things is a precious treasure and much needed resource, and the last thing I want to do is to dissuade or demotivate someone from potentially contributing to valuable public work like Wikisource, etc. It is with a heavy heart, I feel I may have hurt you in this regard and I look forward to your response on this matter and hope you will consider continuing your amazing work here at Wikisource. —[[User:Uzume|Uzume]] ([[User talk:Uzume#top|talk]]) 19:55, 28 February 2025 (UTC) ::::I appreciate you wanting to make things right, but as I alluded to, I want to minimise the drama.

I believe the approach of <code>{{ml|Recto-verso|recto_verso}}</code> is better (e.g., handing roman numeral page numbers, etc.) but I really like {{code|<nowiki>{{subst:}}</nowiki>}}; it is not like page number or their headers are subject to change and need to be recalculated at every page rendering. It would be really nice to do something more complex (e.g., the header at [[Index:The Bondman; A New Saga (IA bondmannewsaga00cain).djvu]]) but at the same time static.

If a casual reader, or even some editors, came across these, they'd be confused and think the page was somehow broken, leading to a more negative perception of the entire site. I wager that your goal was probably to save someone else the extra effort of having to do transclusion themselves, or to "get the hard part out of the way early," since transclusion ''is'' highly technical and annoying.

I didn't know you were transcribing it externally just like I was!!! Sorry!!! ;( It probably wasn't a good idea to jump into something you just added a link to seconds ago, admittedly, now that I think of it!

Doing this, to any page in the mainspace at all, produces a header and a bunch of red links, and also ProofreadPage puts page numbers in the side-bar in a kind of discombobulated way to compensate for the fact that the pages weren't ever created. A reader who picked a version of "[[Battle Hymn of the Republic]]" to read, and it happened to be one of those two links, would get what appears ''to them'' to be some kind of glitch, which would confuse and disorient them, and this kind of thing often makes casual readers question the legitimacy of a site they're looking at. :: But I guess it's not ''that'' big of a deal, since sadly, most of our works don't even go higher than <u>''five''</u> page views per month anyway...

By the process explained in this article V o whence the fraction reduces to 45. In arithmetic the square root of a number is another number, which, when multiplied by itself, shall produce the first number. In algebra, where quantity takes the place of number, the definition leads to a less limited result than in arithmetic. In the latter science there can not be two square roots of the same thing ; in the former, there will necessarily be two. For both -I- 2 x + 2 gives 4, and - 2 x - 2 gives 4 ; hence the square root of 4 is - 2 sis well as + 2. And, further, as in algebra, - 2 is a quantity subject to all the operations and definitions of the science, it is clearly competent to express, in some form or other, the result of extracting its square root. That form must of necessity be something very different in character from *J2, whether ^/2 be + or - . For the definition requires that the square root of - 2 shall be such a quantity as when multiplied by itself shall produce - 2. It is then clearly no arith metical quantity either + or - , but some quantity con nected with numerical quantities by its properties, but not by its nature. It is termed an impossible or imaginary quantity, and may be written J - 2 or ^/2 *J - 1, and the same notation applies to the square roots of all negative quantities. The properties of imaginary quantities are almost iden tical with those of surds, and we need not stop to consider them. One example of their application will suffice. It affords strong confirmation of the safety of assuming the commutative law to exist in every branch of pure algebra. Ex. The product of the sum of two squares by the sum of two squares can always be represented under the form of the sum of two squares. For (c 2 + d V- = (ac- -l) (ac-bd- ad + bc J - 1) Cor. (a 2 + 6 2 ) (c 2 + d 2 ) = (ac + bd) z + (ad - Icf, or the pro duct may be represented in two different ways, under the form of the sum of two squares. SECT. V. PROPORTION AND PROGRESSION. roportion 4G. In comparing together any two quantities of the id Pro- same kind in respect of magnitude, we may consider how ession. much the one is greater than the other, or else how many times the one contains either the whole or some part of the other; or, which i.3 the same thing, we may consider either what is the difference between the quantities, or what is the quotient arising from the division of the one quantity by the other : the former of these is called their arithmetical ratio, and the latter their geometrical ratio. These deno minations, however, have been assumed arbitrarily, and have little or no connection with the relations they are intended to express. I. Arithmetical Proportion and Progression. 47. When of four quantities the difference between the first and second is equal to the difference betAveen the third and fourth, the quantities are called arithmetical propor tionals. Such, for example, are the numbers 2, 5, 9, 12; and, in general, the quantities a, a + d, I, b + d. 48. The principal property of four arithmetical propor tionals is this : If four quantities be arithmetically pro portional, the sum of the extreme terms is equal to the sum of the means. Let the quantities be a, a + d, b, b + d; where d is the difference between the first and second, and also between the third and fourth, the sum of the extremes is a + b + d, and that of the means a + d + b; so that the truth of the proposition is evident. 49. If a series of quantities be such, that the difference between any two adjacent terms is always the same, these terms form an arithmetical progression. Thus, the num bers 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, &c., form a series in arithmetical pro gression, and, in general, such a series may be represented thus: a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4cZ, a + 5d, a + Gd, &c., where a denotes the first term, and d the common difference. By a little attention to this series, wo readily discover that it has the following properties : 1. The last term of the series is equal to the first term, together with the common difference taken as often as there are terms after the first. Thus, when the number of terms is 7, the last term is a + Gd; and so on. Hence if denote the last term, n the number of terms, and a and d express the first term and common difference, we have z = a + (n l)c?. 2. The sum of the first and last term is equal to the sum of any two terms at the same distance from them. Thus, suppose the number of terms to be 7, then the last term is a + Gd, and the sum of the first and last 2a + Gd; but the same is also the sum of the second and last but one, of the third and last but two, and so on till we come to the middle term, which, because it is equally distant from the extremes, must be added to itself. 3. To find the sum of the series, it is only necessary to observe that, if the progression is written down twice, 1 from the beginning, 2 from the end, the terms of the former increase by the same amount as that by which the terms of the latter diminish; so that the sum of any two terms which stand under each other is always the same, viz., the same as the sum of the first and last terms; hence the double series converts addition into multiplication; so that if s denote the sum of the series, we have 2s = n(a--zJ, and n, N s = -(a-!-z).

At 2.30 P. M., under orders from McClellan, Sumner crossed the river with a division under Sedgwick and a battery under Kirby, at what later became known as Sumner’s Upper Bridge, and at about 5 o’clock, after being delayed by the rough and muddy roads, reached the vicinity of the Fair Oaks station, just in time to intercept and force back Whiting’s division (from the Confederate left, where G. W. Smith was in command), then on its way to reinforce Longstreet. In this part of the field some of the most stubborn fighting of the day occurred, and it was here about 7 P. M. that General Johnston was severely wounded, whereupon General Smith took command of the Confederate army. Early on the following day Longstreet again attacked the Federal left, which had been reinforced by way of Sumner’s Lower Bridge, by Richardson’s division of Sumner’s corps, but he was repulsed and forced back for some distance. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon Gen. R. E. Lee, who had just arrived on the field of battle, superseded Smith in command of the Confederate army, and on the night of the 2d the army was withdrawn to the immediate neighborhood of Richmond. General McClellan did not appear on the field of battle until about noon on the 1st. The loss of the Federals in killed, wounded, and missing was about 5000, that of the Confederates about 5200. Consult the ''Official Records'', vol. xi., parts i. and iii.; Johnson and Buel (ed.), ''Battles and Leaders of the Civil War'' (New York, 1887); Ropes, ''Story of the Civil War'', vol. ii. (ib., 1898); Michie, ''General McClellan'' (ib., 1901), in the “Great Commanders Series;” Webb, ''The Peninsula'' (ib., 1881), in the “Campaigns of the Civil War Series;” Johnston, ''Narrative of Military Operations'' (ib., 1874); Hughes, ''General Johnston'' (ib., 1893), in the “Great Commanders Series;” McClellan, ''McClellan’s Own Story'' (ib., 1887); and Longstreet, ''From Manassas to Appomattox'' (Philadelphia, 1896). <section end="Seven Pines" /> <section begin="Seven Sages, The" />'''SEVEN SAGES,''' {{sc|The}}. A collective designation of a number of Greek sages who lived between {{asc|B.C.}} 620 and 550. They were rulers, law-givers, or counselors, distinguished for their practical wisdom, and were believed to be the authors of brief aphorisms expressing the results of their moral and social experiences. There was no unanimity among the ancients with regard to the names, the number, or the sayings of these famous sages. The number seven is as old as Pindar, but the earliest list of the seven is given in Plato’s ''Protagoras'' (343 p.a.). Those usually included in the number are Solon, the famous law-giver of Athens; Thales of Miletus, the philosopher; Pittacus of Mitylene, the deliverer and magistrate of his native city; Bias of Priene; Chilon of Sparta; Cleobulus, tyrant of Lindus; and Periander, tyrant of Corinth. The sayings attributed to them were first collected by Demetrius of Phalerum. Various collections of the excerpts have been preserved to us by Stobæus (Floril. 3, 79) and others. On the different names of the sages, consult: Bohren, ''De Septem Sapientibus'' (Bonn, 1867); and Wulf, ''De Fabellis cum Collegii Septem Sapientium Memoria Conjunctis Quæstiones Criticæ'' (Halle, 1896). A Greek collection of these aphorisms in iambics was published by Wölfflin in the ''Proceedings'' of the Bavarian Academy (1886), and there are two Latin collections by Brunco (Bayreuth, 1885). <section end="Seven Sages, The" /> <section begin="Seven Sleepers, The" />'''SEVEN SLEEPERS,''' {{sc|The}}. The heroes of a celebrated legend, which exists in several Syriac versions, the earliest being that of Jacob of Sarug (451–521). As given in the Latin version by Gregory of Tours they were seven Christians (brothers) of Ephesus, who, during the persecution of Decius in 250, took refuge in a cave near the city. Their retreat was discovered and the entrance walled up. A miracle, however, was interposed in their behalf, and they fell into a preternatural sleep. Two hundred years later, near the end of the reign of Theodosius II. (408–450), the cave was accidentally opened, and the sleepers awoke. They supposed they had slept for but a single night, and when one of their number went to the city stealthily to purchase provisions he was amazed to find his coin no longer current, and the Christian religion honored and accepted by rulers and people. When the wonderful history became known the sleepers were conducted in triumphant procession into the city, but they all died at the same moment. They are honored as saints by the Western and Eastern churches; in the former their day is July 27th, in the Greek Church August 2d or 4th, and with the Maronites March 7th. They are also honored by the Mohammedans, their story being found in the Koran (xviii. 8–24). Consult: Koch, ''Die Siebenschläferlegende'' (Leipzig, 1883); Baring-Gould, ''Curious Myths of the Middle Ages''(London, 1881). <section end="Seven Sleepers, The" /> <section begin="Seventeen-year Locust" />'''SEVENTEEN-YEAR LOCUST.'''

The name given to the brief war in 1866 between Prussia and Italy on the one side and Austria and her German allies on the other. Bavaria, Württemberg, Baden, Saxony, Hesse, Hesse-Cassel, Hanover, and Nassau were on the side of Austria. The war was the culmination of Bismarck’s plan for forcing Austria out of the German Confederation and making way for a new Germany under Prussian leadership. For an account of the preliminary events which led up to the struggle, see {{NIE article link|Bismarck|Bismarck-Schönhausen, Karl Otto Eduard Leopold von}}; {{NIE article link|Germany}}; {{NIE article link|Prussia}}; and {{NIE article link|Schleswig-Holstein}}. On April 8, 1866, Prussia had concluded a secret alliance with Italy, and the issue of a federal execution by the Diet against Prussia on June 14th was followed by the declaration of war against Austria, Saxony, Hanover, and HesseCassel. The invasion of Bohemia was immediately begun. The central (First) Prussian army, under Prince {{NIE lkpl|Frederick Charles|Frederick Charles}} (q.v.), entered from Eastern Saxony, crossing the frontier range of the Erzgebirge toward Reichenberg; the western or Elbe (Third) army, under General Herwarth von Bittenfeld, started from Dresden, and entered Bohemia by Neustadt and Schluckenau; while the eastern or Silesian (Second) army, under the Crown Prince, Frederick William (later the German Emperor {{NIE lkpl|Frederick III.

The royal palace, on the north- eastern corner of the Stadsholm, was begun in 1697 in the Italian Renaissance style, and is a large and beautiful rectangular building with four wings inclosing a quadrangle. At the west- ern end of the island stands the Riddarhus (knight's house), containing portraits and armo- rial bearings of Swedish nobles. Noteworthy also are the new opera house, finished in 1898; the handsome Renaissance building of the National Museum, built in 1850-G6, opposite the royal palace on the Blasieholm ; and the large and im- posing new building of the Northern Museum, begun in 1808, in the Djurgard. Although Stockholm has no university, it has numerous establishments for higher technical and popular education and an excellent elemen- tary school system. The Royal Library had in 1899 381.900' volumes and 11,000 manuscripts. There are the National Museum, containing fine art collections and a collection of Swedish antiqui- ties; the Northern Museum (Nordiska iluseet) for Scandinavian ethnology and archfeology ; a museum of natural history : a biological museum showing groups of Scandinavian mammals in their natural surroundings; an astronomical ob- servatory; and numerous scientific and literary associations, the principal of which are the Swedish Academy, the Academy of Sciences, and the Academy of Fine Arts, History, and Archfe- ology. Stockholm is the largest industrial centre of Sweden next to Goteborg. There are iron foun- dries and machine shops, breweries, sugar and cotton mills, and tobacco factories, and manu- factures of furniture, soap, food ]iroducts, and miscellaneous articles^ while shiiibnilding is also carried on. The city ranks first among Swedish ports in the value of imports, and third in ex- ports; the imports in 1897 amounted to SS-SOT,- 520, and the exports to .$860,680. The chief ex- ports are iron and timber. In 1900 the .ship- ping at the port amounted to 22,55 entries and clearings with a total of 964,.367 tons, but in the number and tonnage of its home vessels the city is exceeded by Goteborg. The approaches to the harbor are intricate and rendered somewhat dangerous by rocky reefs, but the harbor itself is good and provided with dry docks and exten- sive wharfage accessible for large ships. Up to 1895 the harbor was closed by ice about twenty- five days in the year, but recently a new ice- breaker has been put into service to keep it open. The city is, in general, very progressive in the matter of public works. The population in- creased slowly during the first half of the nine- teenth century, having been 75.000 in 1780 and 93.000 in 1850. In 1890 it was 246.454, and in 1901 303,356. Stockholm was founded in 1255 by Birger Jarl, and was for centuries confined to the Stadsholm and Riddarholm, which were fortified. It was several times besieged and taken by Danish armies, and its wooden buildings were often de- stroyed by fire until they were supplanted by stone structures. In 1520 the city was the scene 585 STOCKTON. of the 'Stockholm Blood Bath,' when the Danish King Christian II., in order to strengthen his jiosition in Sweden, had a large number of Swedish nobles decapitated on the Stortorg.

England, on the Mersey, at the junc- tion of its main feeders, 6to miles southeast of Manchester (Map: England, D 3). Its pros- perity is of modern date. The streets lie on the slopes of a narrow' gorge, and are irregular and occasionally precipitous; to the south they rise in terraces above the river. The principal build- ings are the court-house, market hall, mechanics', institute, infirmary, and the institution for the blind, deaf, and dumb. The free grammar school was founded and endowed in 1487. The town possesses seven fine parks, the chief of which is Vernon Park, which contains a nniseum. Stock- poi't owns an electric lighting plant, street rail- ways, sewage w'orks, gas, water supply, and mar- kets. It has extensive manufactures of cottons, woolens, silks, machinery, brass and iron goods, shuttles, and brvishes. Population, in 1881, 59,544; in 1891, 70,263; in 1901, 78,871. STOCKS. An apparatus of wood, much used in former times for the punishment of petty of- fenders. The culprit was placed on a bench, with his ankles fastened in holes under a movable board, and allowed to remain there for an hour or two. The period of the first introduction of the stocks in England is uncertain, but in the second statute of laborers, 25 Edward III. ( 1350) , provision is made for applying the stocks to unruly artificers. Combined with the stocks was often a whipping-post for the flagellation of vagrants. The use of stocks was general in the English colonies of North America and was em- ])loyed frequently for the punishment of conuuon scolds. STOCK'TON. The county-seat of San .Joaquin County, Cal., 78 miles cast by north of San Fran- cisco; on an arm of the San Joaquin River, at the head of navigation, and on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific railroads (Jlap: California, C 3). It is in a region noted for its great natural beauty and equable cli- mate and is very attractive. The State Hospital for the Insane is here, and there are also a public library with over 36. .500 volumes, the San Joaquin County Law Library, Saint ilary's College, and Saint Agnes Academy. The county court-house, constructed at a cost of .$300,000, the high school ($150,000), the post-office, county jail, opera house. Masonic Temple, Saint .Joseph's Home, and the County and the Pacific hospitals, are also noteworthy features. In addition to possessing large grain, live stock, and fruit interests. Stock- ton has considerable industrial importance. Agri- cultural machinery and implements, flour, foun- dry products, window glass, lumber, leather, beer, fuel briquettes, canned goods, and woolens constitute the leading manufactures. The gov- ernment, under the charter of 1889, is vested in a mayor, chosen biennially, and a unicameral council. Stockton was founded in 1849 by Charles M.

It was further agreed that the port should be closed to all vessels except Chinese and Russian men-of-war. The town lies on the slope of the high hills which surround the oval inlet which forms the harbor, in lat. 38° 48' X. and long. 121° 20' E. The inlet on which it stands measures about two miles from east to west and one from north to south, and is well protected from storms by a spit of land which runs diagonally across its northern end. The harbor proper has been much enlarged by blasting and dredging; new docks, barracks, an arsenal, and warehouses have been built, and the place rendered impreg- nable. On the west side of the town is the terminus of the Russian railway to Harbin. See Maxciiuria. Lii-shun K'ow was formerly only a small fish- ing village at the lower end of a long mountain- ous peninsula until it was selected by Li Hung Chang under the advice of German engineers for a strongly fortified naval st^ition for the defense of the Pci-lio and Peking. In 1894, however, it was captured by the Japanese, and the Treaty of Shimonoseki provided for its cession to Japan with the whole southern coast of Manchuria from the Liao to the Yalu; but Russia, France, and Germanv intervened and induced .Japan to relin- quish ail this territory for the sum of 30.000.000 taels, and on Xovember 30, 1895, its evacuation was begun.

The capital and principal seaport of Haiti, West Indies, situated on the western coast of the island, opposite the island of Gonaive (Map: West Indies, L 5). It lies in a niarsliy region and, although well laid out, is in a general state of decline and quite unsanitary. It is built largely of wood and is partly in ruins, as a result of the earthquakes of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The principal build- ings are the wooden palace, the Senate building, and the cathedral. 'The toTi contains also the mint, the custom house, a lyceum, and a college. The harbor is safe and fortified. The population of the city is estimated at 61,000. Consult Fortunat, Xouvelle geographie de Vile de Haiti (Port-au-Prince, 1888). PORT CHESTER. A village in Westchester County, X.

It enjoys considerable popu- larity as a summer resort and is also a resi- dential suburb of Xew Y'ork. There are a free library, besides public school libraries, a public hospital, and three fine bank buildings ; ahso a park (Monument). The village has large nut and bolt works, foundries, and manufactures of shirts, carriages, etc. The government is vested in a president and board of trustees, elected biennially. Port Chester was settled probably as early as 1742. and was known as Saw Pit imtil 1837. when the present name was adopted. It was incorporated as a villaire in 1868. Population, in 1890. 5274; in 1900. 7440. PORT CLINTON. A village and the county seat of Ottawa County, O., 31 miles east by south of Toledo; on Lake Erie, at the mouth of the Portage River, and on the Lake Shore and Michi- gan Southern Railroad (Map: Ohio.

The mining of gj'psum, basket-making,' and fishing are other important industries. Popu- lation, in 1890, 2049; in 1900, 2450. PORTCULLIS (OF. porte coleice, porte cou- lisse, sliding gate, from porte, from Lat. porta, gate, and coleice, coulisse, fem. of cole'is, coulis, sliding, from Lat. colatus, p. p. of colore, to flow, to strain, from colum. sieve). A frame of iron, or wood strengthened with iron, made in the form of grating, designed to slide in vertical grooves built in the jambs of the entrance gate of a fortified place, in order to defend the gate in case of assault. The vertical bars were pointed with iron below, and struck on the ground when the grating was dropped, so as to injure who- ever or whatever they fell upon. (See Castle.) In heraldry (q.v.) the portcullis is represented with rings at its uppermost angles, from which chains depend on either side. It was a badge of the Beaufort family, and borne in virtue of their Beaufort descent by the Tudor sovereigns. Port- cullis is the title of a pursuivant in the English college of arms, whose oflice was instituted by Henry VII. PORT DE PAIX, por de pa. A town and port of Haiti, on the Tortuga Channel, one hun- dred miles north of Port-au-Prince, and on the right bank of the Trois Rivi&res at its mouth (ilap: Antilles. L 5). The agricultural interests of the section are largely devoted to coffee. The population is estimated at 10,000. Cohimbus visited the port in 1492 and named it Valparaiso. It was taken by French filibusters in 1665. PORT DTJBN'FOBD. A seaport in British East Africa at the mouth of the Sheri River (Map: Africa, J 5) . PORTE, Sublime Porte, or OrroxrAK Pobte. The name given to the Turkish Government. The origin of this name is to be referred to the ancient Oriental custom of making the gates of cities and of kings' palaces places of assembly in connection with the aflairs of government and of the administration of justice. In the Byzantine Empire this custom was adopted, and the term was transferred from the high gate of the Im- perial palace to the Government whose authority was there exercised. The Ttirks found the term in common use among the Byzantines some time previous to their establishment at Constanti- nople, and adopted it on the organization of their empire. The use. among European nations, of the French term sublime porte ('lofty gate') is ac- counted for by the fact that French is the language of European diplomacy. See Turkey.

This community became very celebrated, and numbered among its inmates some of the most distinguished scholars of the time, Arnauld d'Andilly, the three brothers le Maistre (Antoine, Louis Isaac de Sacy, and Simon de Sericourt I , Nicole, Lancelot, and several others. The name of Pascal was closely associated with Port-Royal. The rule of life of the Port-Royal- i~ts was austere and they devoted many hours to prayer, spiritual reading, instruction, and manual labor. They prepared for these schools the well-known text-books of the Port-Royal series, such as Greek and Latin grammars, works on general grammar, geometry, and logic. In 1643. inspired by profound love for children, the Port-Royalists founded the Little .'Schools, first at Port-Royal and then in Paris, in which they received a small number of pupils. The study of the vernacular was strongly emphasized in these schools, the general aim lieiug to de- velop the reason, judgment, and power of personal reflection rather than a mastery of Latin. For the first time in the history of French education, the study of French received careful considera- tion. In teaching pronunciation and spelling they almost approached the modem phonetic method. The schools had but a short existence and embraced but a limited sphere, but the prin- ciples laid down had a salutary influence on edu- cation in' France throughout the succeeding cen- turies. Greater importance for the time was given to the community by its pertinacious adherence to the -Jansenist views ( see .Jansexism ) , and by the number of polemical works which issued from Port-Royal. The nuns having refused to sub- scribe the formula condemning the five proposi- tions of .Jansenius, a royal order was issued in lti60 for the suppression of the school and the removal of the boarders, and the abbess and sev- eral other nuns were arrested and confined as prisoners in other monasteries. After the "peace of Clement IX.," they were permitted to return; but the two commimities, Port-Royal-des-Champs and Port -Royal-de-Paris, were placed under sepa- rate government. This led to many disputes, and to a continued adherence at Port-Royal-des- Champ; to the .Jansenist spirit and opinions; and when the final steps for the repression of the Jansenists were taken in 1705 and the following years, a formal bull was issued by Pope Clement XI. for th^ suppression of the old convent and the transfer of its property to Port -Royal -de- Paris. In 1"09 the nuns were finally dispersed and distributed among convents of different Or- ders throughout France. The property of the con- vent and church was transferred to the Paris house, and all the buildings of Port-Royal-des- Champs were leveled to the ground, by order of the King.

PORT SAID, sa-ed'. A seaport of Egypt, sit- uated at the Mediterranean end of the Suez Canal (Map: Egypt, F 1). It has frame houses. Its harbor, with colossal piers of concrete, has am- ple docks and accommodations for vessels. There is a lofty lighthouse. Port Said has an ex- port trade in cotton, and is an important coal- ing station. It is the seat of the Governor-Gen- eral for the Suez Canal. The town dates from 1859, when work on the canal was begun. Popu- lation, 37,000, of whom about one-third are Euro- peans. PORTSMOUTH, pSrts'muth. A seaport and the chief naval arsenal of Great Britain, situated in Hampshire, on the southwest shore of Portsea Island, 74 miles southwest of London (Map: Enghmd, EC). Portsmouth has the most complete fortifications in Britain. These com- prise, on the landward side, the outer line of the Portsdown forts and the Hilsea lines ; to seaward, the Spithead forts. Southsea, which is situated outside the walls skirting Southsea Common, is rapidly increasing, and is a fashionable watering-place. Pleasing views may be had, from the ramparts and bat- teries, of the harbor, the roadstead of Spithead, and the Isle of W'iglit. The town itself is unin- teresting; among the few notable buildings is the Church of Saint Thomas, the chancel and transepts of which date from the twelfth century. Besides the parish, the municipal and Parlia- mentary limits include Portsea, Landport, and Southsea. TTie town of Gosport (q.v.) is sepa- rated from Portsmouth by the harbor entrance. Portsmouth harbor, about 420 yards wide at its entrance, extends inland for about four miles and has a breadth of three miles along its northern shore. The outward entrance is defended by ^lonkton Fort and Southsea Castle. The harbor is situated close to the magnificent anchorage of Spithead, where 1000 ships of the line may ride without inconvenience, imder shelter of the Isle of Wight, and opposite the French arsenal of Cherbourg. The dockyard has an area of 293 acres. Of this immense naval establishment, the most noteworthy features are the dry docks, spa- cious enough to admit the largest vessels. The local trade of Portsmouth is supported mainly l)y the Government dockyard and other public establishments. Brewing is carried on, and there is considerable traffic in timber, coal, cattle, and agricultural produce. The importance of the port dates from the reign of King Henry VIII. Its defenses were strengthened by Eliza- beth and by William III. The municipality holds various charters, the first granted by Richard I. Its principal asset is its docks. It owns an elec- tric lighting phint. and tramways, and maintains public baths, cemeteries, libraries, and a technical school. Porchester Castle, a ruined Xorman fortress to the nortli of the harbor, occupies the site of the Roman Porttis Uafinus. The town was burned by the French in 1372. In 1642 it was taken by the Parliamentarians. In 1782 the Royal George sank in the harbor with a loss of nearly 1000 lives. Portsmouth is the birthplace of Charles Dickens and George Meredith.

Lisbon has a mean tciiiperatiue in Januaiy of 50° and in July of ti!J.8°. The precipitation at Lisbon is about 40 inches a year, and Coimbra, the most popuhius town between 0])orto and Lisbon, is the rainiest phice in Kuropc. the clouds parting with their moisture against the sides of the surround- ing mountains, where as much as 102 inches of rain have fallen in a year. On the whole, the soils are not rich, for there are wide expanses of sandy and thin soils; some of the valleys and plains, however, are extremely fertile. FloBjV. The vegetation, which is that of Central and Southern Europe, is practically identical with the flora of iSpain. The kind of vegetation is denoted by the prevalent forest trees — in the nortli the oak, in the middle the chestnut, and in the south the cork tree. The culture of the orange is extended the entire length of the coast. Tlw olive is found everywhere, but the date palm is limited to a fringe along the south coast. Fauxa. The wild animals are those of Spain. Sardines and the tunny are most conspicuous in the coast fisheries, which are highly productive. Geology and Misebal Resoukces. Almost all the geologic formations are represented. Granite is predominant among the northern mountains, gneiss throughout the Douro Valley, mica schists occur irregularly here and there, and basalt i.s conspicuous in the surroundings of Lis- bon. The older fossiliferous formations are con- spicuous in the north and centre and cover most of South Portugal. Mesozoic formations occur along the coast between Lisbon and Aveiro, and several mountain chains in the central regions are formed of .Jurassic rocks. Portugal suffers occasionally from the seismic disturbances Nwhich afflict the peninsula. The great eartliquake of 1.5.31 did enormous damage, and that of 1755, in whii-li only one-quarter of Lisl)on escaped de- struction, was probably the most violent ever witnessed in Europe. The most important mines are in the copper region of Alem- tejo and among the iron ores of Moneorvo. Coal is worked at Cape ilondego and is .also found in the environs of Leiria. The mining industry, however, is in a worse condition even than that of Spain. Many mines in this richly metallif- erous country, which includes also lead, man- gani'sp ore, tin. zinc, and antimony among its resources, are idle, and those that are worked are for the most part in the hands of foreigners. Very large (|uantitics of salt, chiefly sea salt (at Setubal, 300,000 tons annually), are produced and much is exported. The Portuguese sea salt is regarded as the best in Europe. -A.GRICULTUKE. The surface of the country, ac- cording to the uses made of it, may be thus di- vided: agriculture and gardening. 22.4 per cent, of the total area: the vine, 2.2: pasturage and hay, 20.7: woodland, 2.!): unproductive, 45.8. The result is that the food requirements of the scanty population are not met. Fnrming also is in a low state of development and methods and implements are very primitive. The Portuguese plow has been described as "a crooked branch with a ten-penny nail tied to the end of it." There are three principal regions of cereal cul- ture: that of maize, chiefly north of the Tagus River, where the climate is more humid than in the south : that of wheat, on the wi<lc dry warm plains south of the Tagus; and that of rye, on the poorer dry soil and in the colder temperature of the eastern lands bordering Spain. Flax is ex- tensively grown in the north and citrus fruits and olives are produced in the south. V'ine-grow- ing, the most noted branch of Portuguese hus- bandry, is of great importance, partieularl}' on the Douro, where the costly port wine is pro- duced. Though the industry is carried on in somewhat antiquated fashion, Portugal is one of the leading wine countries, judged by the quality of its wine. The largest vineyard in the world, at Poceirao (50,30 acres), contains 6,000,- 000 vines, annually producing about 2,650,000 gallons of red and white wine. Live-stock raising is an important branch of agriculture, the number of horses averaging 90,- OOO: mules and asses, 200.000; cattle, 600,000; sheej) and goats, 4,000,000; and swine, over LOOO.OOO. Cattle are raised in largest numbers in the valleys and on the plains of the north, while sheep and swine are found chiefly in the south. Silkworm culture is increasing, particu- larly in the north. M.VNUFACTUBES. The manufacturing indus- tries have only inferior development, but they are progressing, especially in Oporto and Lisbon. The cliief manufactures are textiles, particularly woolens, and also cotton, linen, and silk goods. The cottons are made chiefly for export to the colonies. In the neighborhood of Oporto there are 15 cotton mills. The chief seats of these manufactures are Lisbon, Ojiorto and the neigh- boring Braga, and Covilhao. Other products are hats, leather, spirits from sugar cane, porcelain, tobacco, shoes, ironware, brandy, and soap. Ship- building has been increasing in importance within the last few years. The population engaged in industries outside of agriculture in lOOO was 447,620. CoMMEBCE. The average annual foreign trade, in millions of dollars may be seen in the following table: 1881-86 1891-95 1399 1901 40.2 23.5 U.3 38.1 54.7 31.1 58.3 Exports 29.0 Great Britain is most important in the for- eign trade of the kingdom. In 1001 28 per cent, of the imports came from Great Britain, 15 per cent, from the Portuguese colonies, 13 per cent, from Germany, 10 per cent, from the United States, per cent, from Spain, and 8 per cent, from France. Great Britain took 20 per cent, of the exports; Spain, 13 per cent.; the Poi-tuguese colonies, 12 per cent.; and Brazil and Germany, 1 1 per cent. each. The imports largely exceed the exports, on account of the quantities of raw materials brought in from the colonies and for- eign countries, and the foreign food substances, textiles, eoal. and machinery, which are con- sumed by the people. The value of the leading imports, in million dollars, in 1001, was: eoal, 5.4; cotton goods. 4.1: raw cotton, 4.3; codfish, from Norway and British North America, 4.2; sugar, 2.8; iron and macliinery, 3.9; woolens and yarn, L4; rice, 1.4; hides and goat skins, 1.5.

PORTUGUESE LITERATURE. The lit- erature of the most westerly of the Roraanee lands, Portugal, was one of the latest to arrive at a consciousness of national unity and in- dependence, and therefore one of the latest to begin to achieve a literary history. Further- more, as a result of the somewhat sluggish and unassertive temperament of the people as a whole, Portuguese literature has been less inde- pendent than that of the sister tongues, and has been onl.y too ready to limit itself to imitation of what had arisen within the bounds of Northern France. Provence, Italy, and esjiecially of the near neighbor Spain. To the lack of any long- continued originality in the domain of Portu- guese letters there has also contributed to a large degree the excess of sentimentality and the consequent elegiac effusiveness that mark the national character and life. So it is that the lyric spirit, with decided tendencies toward the idyllic and the bucolic, has ever predominated in Portugal. It was so at the very outset, for Avhereas lyric verse followed in the wake of epic verse in Spain and in France, it appeared at the very beginning of literary activity in Portugal, and the epic appeared there only three centuries and a half later, and then as the result of a con- •sciously artistic development. And the love lyric, from which we date the rise of Portuguese litera- ture, was not of spontaneous growth or native to the soil ; on the contrary, it was an exotic that had thriven in France before it was transplanted to the more westerly land. According to the scheme adopted by Theophilo Braga and by C. M. de Vasconcellos, six main periods may be distinguished in the course of Portuguese literary history. (1) In the first period (1200 to 1385) the impulse to literary production came from France. The first Portuguese dynasty was founded by Burgundian nobles, in whose train there entered into the land, with their French habits and predilections, soldiers and colonists •who settled on the territory regained from the Arabs during the age of the reconquest. More- over, the constant pilgrimages to the shrine of Saint James at Compostella. ecclesiastical rela- tions of various kinds, and royal and noble intermarriages, made the relations between France and Portugal exceedingly close. The more important literary influence at this early stage was that which entered from Southern France. The troubadours early penetrated into the western territory and met with particular favor in Galicia. a district linguistically con- nected with Portugal. Their strains were soon taken and reechoed by native poets, who imi- tated as well as they might the love lyric, the panegyric, the satire, the debate, and the other conventional poetical forms of Provence. The high-water mark of composition in Provencal measures and according to Provencal ideals was reached in the reign of the King Dom Diniz (1279-1325), the greatest of all the native trou- badours, whose poetical gifts were inherited by his natural sons, Atl'onso Sanches and Pedro, Count of Barcellos. Of these poets and some two hundred others of this period there are preserved about 2000 [(oems, nearly 140 of which are from the pen of the monarch himself, and not a few of them are due to courtiers such as the Chancel- lor Estevam da Guarda and the Admiral Gomes Charinho. We find the great l)ody of this verse in certain Cancioneiros or song books, one set of which contains the Galieian lyrics of the Castil- ian monarch Alfonso the Wise ; three of them — the Cancioneiro da Ajuda and the Cancioneiro do Vaticano, so named from the libraries in which they are deposited, and the Cancioneiro Colocci- Brancuti, bearing the name of its present and former owners — have the poems of native Portu- guese authors. Although the prevailing tone in the Galician-Portuguese literature of this age is that of the artificial Provencal lyric, there is a noticeable tendency to take up and adapt popular forms of a kind that still live on in the oral tradition of Portugal and Northern and Western Spain. Prose composition at this time consists chiefly of translations from Latin — lives of saints, vis- ions of the other world, etc. — and of translations and imitations of material borrowed from North- ern France and already well loiown in Spain, such as the Charlemagne and the Arthurian stories (cf. the Cavallciros da Mesa Redonda, one of the few of them that have thus far been published) and those dealing with the quest of the Holy Grail. It has been asserted that origi- nal composition of chivalrous romances began in Portugal as early as the fourteenth century; for some think that the Amadis dc Gaula. of which the earliest form preserved is a Spanish version, was written originally in Portuguese at this time and was taken thence by Spanish translators and elaborators. (See Spanish Liter.ture. ) His- torical writing is represented by the appearance of chronicles dealing with religious matters or with military undertakings (Chronica da con- qnista do Algarre) and things of political import, and by the appearance also of genealogies like the Nobifiario ascribed to the Count of Barcellos. (2) The second period continues from 1385 to 1521. The time is really one of transition and evidences by the increased interest taken in tha works of classic antiquity the influence of the all-pervading Renaissance movement. The best spirits begin to turn away from Proencal ideals, and, in imitation of the course pursued by the chief Spanish writers, adopt not infrequently a more serious didactic tone, which is borne out by use of the Dantesque allegory. The bulk of the poetry of the age was produced by the poctas palncianos of the courts of .To."io II. ("1481-95) and Emanuel the Great (1495-1521). Ciarcia de Resende. one of these poets, played a part similar to that performed by Baena at the Court of Castile, by collecting and publishing at Lisbon in 1516 the verse of the numerous portns palacianos. Four of the authors represented in this Cancioneiro Geral of Garcia de Resende merit particular mention. They are Ciil Vicente, who is more remarkable, however, for the development which he gave to the drama; Christovam Falcao, whose idyll Ciisfal — the first composition of this favorite kind in Portuguese — records his own love experiences ; Bernardim Ribeiro, the author<noinclude></noinclude> a1veu7usqdqcuaqabneapx5j5bfvbx8 Page:The New International Encyclopædia 1st ed. v. 16.djvu/349 104 3108932 15134650 13617460 2025-06-14T21:56:21Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: tlie → the , mcnt → ment , POBT → PORT 15134650 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="James500" />{{rh|*|295|*}}</noinclude>PORTUGUESE LITERATURE. 295 PORT. graphico-critico sohre os mplhores poetas Portu- gueses (Lisbon. 1850-56) ; Andrade Ferreira and C.

PORTUGUESE MAN-OF-WAR. The popu- lar name of certain remarkable siphonophores (q.v. ) of the genus Physalia. The pneumatophore or float is an oblong, crested bladder, flattened on the lower side, from which are freely pendent the various individuals of the colony. The most notable of these are the long capturing filaments, which are extraordinarily extensible and con- tractile, and are very richly supplied with the nettle-cells, so characteristic of coelenterates (q.v.). In a specimen the float of which is 8 inches long, these fila- ments trail out to a dis- tance of fully 20 feet. The batteries of nettle- cells are so numerous and so powerful that fishes of considerable size are paralyzed and devoured, the latter process, however, being chiefly performed by other individuals which are specially devoted to the process of digestion. The nettle-cells of an average sized specimen of Physalia are power- ful enough to produce gi'eat and sometimes se- rious discomfort to hu- man beings, if they come in contact with the hands or arms ; and this is the case with dead specimens picked up from the beach. The most common Portuguese man-of-war in the western Atlantic is Physalia pelagica, which has the float six or eight inches long and two or three inches high. The float is a bright, iridescent blue, shading in some places into purple, with the lower part and edges red. The individuals of the colony are chiefly red. though various parts are blue. The float contains a gas, possibly air, which seems to be secreted by glan- dular epidermal epithelium at its bottom. The gas can be expelled through an air-pore, by which ^"i^.

By contraction of its float, the animal can sink below the surface, to which it rises again during calm weather. Portuguese men-of-war are found chiefly in the warm seas, and in some places in the tropics large numbers are blown ashore when the wind has blo^m landward for an unusual length of time. They are also carried northward in the Gulf Stream, and during the latter part of the summer are often seen oft' the southern coast of Xew England. PORTUGUESE POLITICAL PARTIES.

PORTUTfUS, or PORTUM'NUS (Lat., from porta, door, partus, port). The Roman divinity, originally of doors, then of harbors, and hence represented with a key. His festival, the Portunalia, was celebrated annually on .ugust 17th at his temple on the Tiber. PO'RUS I Lat.. from Gk. IXwpos, Poros ) "( ?-B.c. 317). An Indian king, the most powerful of those conquered by Alexander the Great (q.v.). His kingdom lay in the north of India between the Hydaspes and Acesines (the modern Jhelam and Chenab), and he was a monarch of much im- portance and ancient lineage. When Alexander reached the Jlielam in his invasion of India in the spring of B.C. 326, he found Porus awaiting him with a strong army on the site of the modern town of Mong. After some delay the ^Macedonian force succeeded in crossing the river by stratagem followed by open approach, and a fierce battle ensued, in which Porus was wounded and made captive. When the conqueror retired from India in the following year, he left Porus as ruler over the lands west of the .Jhelam, comprising seven nations, and in addition made him an ally of his former enemy and rival Taxiles, probably Ambhi, Raja of Takshasila. After the death of Alex- ander. Porus seems to have extended his power over Sindh by expelling Peithon, the Greek ruler. In 317 Porus was assassinated by Eudemus, who had been made satrap of the Punjab by Alexander to administer its afJairs with Taxiles. The name Porus obviously represents the Sanskrit Pan- rava, or member of the race of Puru. a legendary monarch of the so-called lunar d^-nasty. whose descendants are represented by the Sanskrit writ- ings as dwelling in the north of India. The same name was borne by at least two other kings, one a nephew and enemy of the great Porus. He was driven by Alexander from his country of Gandaris (Sanskrit Gandhara) , on the left bank of the Indus. There was also a Porus, King of iladura, who sent gifts and an embassy to the En:peror Augustus. Consult jrCrindle, Iniasion of India hg Alexander the Great (2d ed., Westminster, 1896).

One of the greatest factors in the industrial development of Prussia has been the exc-ellence of its inland water routes and railroad lines, which supple- ment instead of rivaling one another. An enor- mous tonnage is carried on the great rivers, on their canalized tributaries, and on the canals, which connect the rivers, so that the waterways as well as the railroads gridiron Prussia, serving commerce between the east and west as well as between north and south. Steel lighters of large tonnage and small draught have replaced heavy wooden boats on the canals. The Government expends enormous sums in the improvement and maintenance of the waterways. In the thirteen years ending in 1003. the public treasury dis- bursed ^58,388,750 on the rivers, canals, and wagon roads, and new canal projects or river im- provements are constantly underway. The Kaiser Wilhelm Canal saves two days of steam travel between Hamburg and the Baltic ports as com- pared with the old route around Jutland. The Prussian railway system covers not only the entire territorj- of the kingdom, but also that of several minor German States, thus com- manding the commerce of all Northern Germany. Since 1897, when the Prussian railway system was combined with that of Hesse. Prussia has effected an entrance into the southern territory of Germany. (See Gersiaxy. paragraph on Kail- icays.) In 1902 there were 21,110 miles of rail- road in operation in Pnissia. of which the State owned or administered 19,440 miles. Government ownership and operation has proved a complete success from a financial and commercial point of view. The fJovemment derives nearly one-fourth of its entire revenue from the profits of its rail- way operation, and is able by the manipulation of freight rates to come to the aid of industries in need of special encouragement. Prussia is one of the sis German States pos- sessing a merchant marine. It ranks third, be- ing exceeded by Hamburg and Bremen. Stettin, the largest Prussian port, is far behind. The Baltic ports are frozen over in winter, but that of Stettin is kept open by ice-breakers. It is the nearest port to Berlin, and one of the present canal projects is to connect them by a waterway. Danzig is a large outlet for the cereals of North- east Prussia. Other important seaports are Konigsbcrg. ^lemel. and Altona. The merchant marine in 1900 c-omprised .531. steamers, of 193,- 411 tons net capacity, and 1.543 sailing vessels, of 76,893 tons. Prussia carries on about one-third of the total German foreign trade. Commerce. The commerce of Prussia is facili- tated by her central position and by the network of river and canal navigation, which make her territories the connecting medium between several of the great European States, and give her a free outlet to the rest of the world. Yearlv markets are held in about 2700 towns. See Germ.xt, paragraph on fommrrc. B.TKI?>G. The banking system of Prussia does not differ from that of the rest of the German Empire. (See Gebmaxt, paragraph on Banking.) The Imperial Bank acts as the fiscal agent of the kingdom. Prussia occupies a commanding p<jsi- tion in the banking world of Germany, since Ber- lin is the most important financial centre of the country. The eleven great corporate banks of Berlin (not including private banks like Bleich- rOder, etc.) do almost as great a business as the Imperial Bank of Germany, with its 300 branches. In the closing year of the nineteenth century the combined volume of business done by the Berlin banks was about 1.55.000.000.000 marks (nearlv .?39.000.000,000), as compared with 180.000,00o!- 000 marks done by the Imperial Bank. The capi- tal stock of the eleven banks of Berlin has in- creased about five-fold since their foundation, and the combined volume of business. estimate<l at about 155.000,000.000 marks (allowing 20.000.- 000,000 for the three banks not reporting), was about 138 times as large as their available working capital. The leading bank is the Deutsche Bank, with a capital stock of 1.50.000.- 000 marks. Each of the Berlin banks shows a larger capitalization than that of any national bank in the United States and compares very favorably with the banks of France. An im- portant financial institution is the Prussian Maritime Association (Seehandlung), foumled by Frederick the Great in the middle of the eight- eenth century. It was the chief financial support of the Prussian Government for more than a century, until the formation of the CJerman Em- pire, and was intrusted with the investment of the enonnous war contribution exacted from France. It is the prototype of the 'credit mobi- lier" institutions which found such favor during the nineteenth eenturv- in France and other coun- tries. Its activity may Ije seen from the fact that with a capital stock of" less than 39.000.000 marks it had assets excee<ling 520.000.000 marks. FiXAisrES. Prussia has a highly scientific and satisfactory revenue system. Ta.xation, though somewhat burdensome, is very equitably distril'- uted. Direct taxes bring in nearly 10 per cent, of the revenue from all sources and 71 i>er cent, ot the entire tax revenue. The principal direct tax is the progressive income tax. Persons deriving' less than a fixed minimum income are exempt. Another important source of revenue in Prussia is the income obtainefl from Government domains and industrial enterprises, railways, mines, salt works, mills, etc. The net revenue derived from these sources exceeds 650,000,000 marks. The chit f item of expenditure in the Prussian budget is t'lt- so-called working expense in connection with Gov emuient enterprises. The next item is the con- tribution to the Imperial funds, which every State is required to make to complete the revenue of the Empire. (See Gekma.vy, paragraph on Finance.) Xext come the interest on the pub- lic debt, which absorbs nearly 10 per cent, of tl^' ordinary expenditure; public instruction and wor ship, with 6 per cent.: justic-e: and finance '■'' other items of expenditure are all below |i' 000 marks, and the war expenditure is iu-:....- cant. about S.30.000 in 1902. all the war expendi- ture being met directly from Imperial funds. The growth of the Prussian budget in the last quarter of the nineteenth century is shown by the follow- ing table (in millions of marks). The public debt of Prussia has grown to enor- mous proportions. In 1S67 it was 1.323.0OO.O00 marks; in 1881, 1,995,000,000; in 1891, 5,205,-<noinclude></noinclude> nj9uci1ld9nfx1zisvcqke4563zvmba Page:The New International Encyclopædia 1st ed. v. 12.djvu/456 104 3112580 15134644 13614789 2025-06-14T21:56:10Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: whidi → which , j' → y , POBT → PORT 15134644 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="James500" />{{rh|*|404|*}}</noinclude>LOGAN. 404 LOGANSPORT. in the latter engajgement, and in March, 1862, was appointed brigadier-general of volunteers, and a few months later major-general. In the Vicksburg campaign he was in command of a division of the Seventeenth Corps, and ilistin- guished himself at Port Gibson and Raymond, Jackson, Champion Hill, and in the siege of Vicksburg. His command was the first to en- ter the town, of which he was appointed mili- tary governor. In 18(i3 he was put in com- mand of the Fifteenth Corps, which he led until the death of McPhcrson, when he took command for a time of the Army of the Tennessee. On being relieved by Gen. O. O. Howard, he re- turned to the command of his corps, which he led until the fall of Atlanta, when he obtained leave of absence to take part in the political cam- paign for the reelection of Abraham Lincoln as President. He afterwards rejoined his corps, leading it in the march through the Carulinas, and ultimately succeeded (Jtneral Howard in command of the Army of the Tennessee. He was subsequent ly elected to Congress for two successive terms as a Republican, and was one of the managers of the impeachment of Presi- dent Andrew Johnson. In 1871 he was elected to the United States Senate. Soon after his ad- mission to the Senate he distinguished himself by a speech on reconstruction. At the expiration of his term, in 187", he settled in Chicago and began to practice law, but after a short interval of retirement was reelected to the Senate. Dur- in" his career in Congress he made a number of notable speeches, characterized by force and bril- liancy. In 1880 he spoke for four consecutive days' upon the Fitz-John Porter bill, opposing the restoration of Porter to the army. He was a candidate for the Presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention at Chicago in 1884, and after the ballot was announced ■which gave that nomination to .James G. Blaine, he was nominated by acclamation as the candi- date for 'ice-President. Soon after the defeat of the Republican ticket he was once more elected by the Republicans of Illinois as United States Senator. He died at Washington, December 26, 1886. .James (J.

LO'GANIA'CE.^ (Neo-Lat., from Logania, named in honor of James Logan), The Logania Family. A natural order of dicotyledonous plants, consisting of trees, low and climbing shrubs, and herbs, with opposite, entire, usually stipulate leaves. The calyx is 4-5 partite ; the corolla hypogvTious, regular or irregular 4-5 or 10-cIeft; the stamens adherent to the corolla; the ovary generally 2-cel!ed; the style .solitary; the fruit a capsule, a drupe, or a berry. A few species of this order occur in Australia and in the temperate parts of North America; the rest are all tropical or subtropical. There are about 350 known species. The plants of this order are characterized by a bitter principle which is often extremely poisonous. They in- clude the genus Str>'chnos, of which nux vomica (qq.v. ) is one of the products, and another is the woorali or curari (q.v.) poison.

He studied law, was admitted to the Delaware bar iu 1755, was immediately appointed register of probate, and in 1756 be- came assistant attorney for Susse.x County. From 1757 to 1759 he was clerk of the Delaware As- sembly, and in 17G2 was commissioned with Citsar Rodney (q.v.) to revise all the laws of Delaware ])asscd prior to 1752. In the same year lie began his long service as a member of the Delaware Assembly, where he served continuonsly by reelection until 1779. In 1705 he was elected to the Stamp Act Congress {see St.mp Act), where he was instrumental in securing an equal vote for eaeli of the provinces represented and assisted in drawing up the memorial to Parlia- ment. He was elected in the same year a judge of the Common I'leas, and boldly ruled that only unstamped paper should be used in his court. In 1771 he was collector of the port of New Castle, and about the same time opened an office for the practice of law iu riiilndelphia. He con- tinued to reside for part of the lime in Delaware, however, and in 1774 was elected a delegate from that i)rovince to the Continental Congress. In the proceedings of that body he took a leading part, serving until 1783 anil being the only mem- ber sitting continuously tliroughout the war. He favored tiie adojilion of the Di'i-hiration of Inde- jiendenee, an<l, though absent when that document was signed, he was later ( prol)ably in 1784) al- lowed to affix his signature. He also helped to draft the Articles of Confederation, which he signed. In 1781 he was president of Congress. While still a member of the Delaware Assembly, and one of the Delaware delegates in Congress, he became prominently identified willi Pennsylvania alTairs, was cliaivman of the Cominiltee of Safety in that State in 1770, and in 1777 was chosen Chief .histice, a jiosition which he held until 1799. In the latter year, having become one of the lead- ers of the Kepublican Party, and a strong sup- porter of .Jefrerson, he was elected Oovernor of Pennsylvania, serving until 1808. With .Tames Wilson he was the author of Comiiiriilarics on the Cuiisliliition of the United States (1790). McKEESPORT, m'-kes'port. A city in Al- legheny County, Pa., 15 miles southeast of Pitts- burg; at the confluence of the Monongahela and Youghiogheny rivers, both of which are navi- gable, and on the Baltimore and Ohio, the Penn- sylvania, and the Pittsburg and Lake Erie rail- roads (Map: Pennsylvania, B .3). It is in the heart of the natiral gas and the bituminous coal regions of the State, and is the seat of a vast iron and steel industry, the plant of the National Tube Works, which alone employs 8500 men, being one of the largest in the world. Other nianufaetures are railroad cars, locomotives and su|ij)lies, glass, and lumber. There is a large trade in coal and lumber. The city has the Douglass Industrial College, McKeesport Hospi- tal, Carnegie Library, Yoiuig Men's Christian Association Hall, a fine high school building (cost .$108,000), and several bridges that are of interest architecturallv. The government is vested in a mayor, elected every three years; a bicameral council: and administrative officials as follows; police, street commissioner, and board of health, ajipoinled by the mayor with the con- sent of the council ; water commissioners, city solicitor, and chief of fire department, elected by the council; and treasurer, comptroller, board of assessors, and school board, chosen by popular election. The jirincipal items of annual expendi- ture are about .$155,000 for schools, .$35,000 for the fire department, $55,000 for the police depart- ment, and $55,000 for the water-works, which are owned and operated by the city, having been built in 1882 at a cost of about $425,000. Set- tled in 1795 and luimed in honor of .lohn McKee, its foiuider, ilcKeesport was incorporated as a borough in 1842. Until 1830, when coal-raining began in the district, it was a straggling village. Population, in 1890, 20,741; in 1900, 34,227. McKEES ROCKS. A borough in Allegheny County, Pa., on the Ohio Kiver, opposite Al- legheny, and on the Pittsburg and Lake Erie and the Pittsburg, Chartiers and Youghiogheny railroads (Map; Pennsylvania, A 3). It is known for its extensive iron and steel interests, and there are also railroad machine shops, and nianufact(n-ies of glass, lumber, Hour, etc. The rapid growth of its population is sliown as follows: in 1890, 1087; in 1900, 0352. MacKEL'LAR, Tiio.mas (1812-99). An American poet, born in New York City. He learned the trade of printing in the llarjiers' pub- lishing house, and then entered the firm of Law- rence Johnson & Co., Philadelpliia, as a proof- reader. He rose to be a partner, and the head of the establishment, later known as the firm of MacKcllar, Smith & Jordan. His works include: Droppings from the Heart (1844) ; Tarn's Fort- night Ramble (1847) ; Lives for the Oentle and Loving (1853); and Rhymes Aticccn Times (1873). The last volume contains his popular poem, "Let ile Kiss Him For His Jlother." which is founded on an episode of the Civil War. McKEN'DREE, William (1757-1835). A Methodist E]iiscopal bishop. He was born in King William County, Va., July G, 1757; served in the Revolutionary War ; was converted and joined the Methodist Church in 1787; became presiding elder in 1790, and bishop, the first one born in America, in 1808. He died near Nash- ville, Tenn., March 5. 1835. By reason of his travels with Bishop Asbury and as superintend- ent of the societies in Virginia, Kentucky, Ten- nessee, Ohio, and Illinois, before he became bishop, and his travels after that, he was well known to Methodists, especially in those States. His Life by Paine (Nashville, 1809; new ed. 1875) is consequently an important source of early Methodist history. McKENDREE COLLEGE. An institution of learning at Lebanon, 111., under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal Church, organized in 1828 as Lebanon Seminary, and one of the ear- liest institutions in the West dedicated to higher education. Its name was changed in 1830 in honor of Bishop McKendree, who devised his es- tate to the college. A new charter was secured in 1839 with the cooperation of Abraliam Lin- coln, granting the institution full university privileges. The college proper offers a classical and a scientific course; it has also graduate and law departments and a conservatory of music. It confers the bachelor's degree in arts, science, law. and music, and the master's and doctor's decrees for graduate work. Students are ad- mitted on examination or on certificate from ap- ]n-oved schools. In 1902 it had a faculty of 12 instructors. The student enrollment comprised 42 in the college, 105 academic, and 76 in music.<noinclude></noinclude> d9wx8a2lwidlvcxjbkhd22e068mol0f Page:The New International Encyclopædia 1st ed. v. 11.djvu/570 104 3114025 15135616 13614079 2025-06-14T22:36:09Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ 15135616 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rh|KINO.|516|KIOTO.}}</noinclude><section begin="s1" />diarrhœa (especially when a flux seems to be kept up by want of tone in the intestinal capillaries), the best mode of prescribing it being as compound kino powder, which is a mixture of kino, cinnamon, and opium, the dose for an adult ranging from ten grains to a scruple. The medicinal tincture of kino forms an excellent gargle for the relaxation of the uvula; it contains kino, glycerin, alcohol, and water. Kino is employed to a considerable extent in the East Indies as a cotton-dye, giving to the cotton the yellowish-brown color known as nankeen. <section end="s1" /> <section begin="s2" />'''KINROSS′-SHIRE′'''.

He was placed at a very early age in straitened circumstances by the death of his father, left his home when a boy of ten, and went to New York City. After a wandering life, during which he traded with the Indians in the West and Middle West, he finally settled in Illinois on the site of the city of Chicago, where he built a trading station, the first permanent settlement of a white man at that point.

One of the three ''fu'' cities of Japan, and the capital of the country from the year 794 until 1868, when the shogunate was abolished, and the Mikado and his Court removed to Yedo (Tokio). The city stands on the island of Hondo, in latitude 35° N., and longitude 135° 30′ E., in a fertile plain, bordered on three sides by moderately high mountains, near the centre of the Province of Yamashiro. It is 47 miles by rail from Kobe via Osaka on the coast, and 329 from Tokio (Map: Japan D 6), and is also connected by rail with Tsuruga on the Sea of Japan on the north, and westward 302 miles with {{NIE article link|Shimonoseki|nosc=yes}} (q.v.), where the island of Hondo approaches Kiushiu. The city, which is unwalled, is traversed from north to south by the Kamogawa, which divides it into two unequal parts. The larger and more important part lies along the right bank of the river, the wide shingly bed of which is nearly dry except in the rainy season. The smaller and more picturesque part, where are found most of the hotels patronized by foreigners, rises gradually from the left bank to the wooded steeper slopes and spurs of the range of mountains, where many of the more famous temples and places of interest are situated. In general the plan of the city differs but little from that of 794, which Kuwammu, its founder, called ''Hei-an-jo'', ‘the city of peace.’ It is about four miles in length from north to south, and two and one-half in breadth, and is laid out with mathematical regularity. The streets are wide, well kept, neat, and clean. In the northeast part is the Go-Sho or ‘Imperial Palace,’ which with its fine gardens, in true Japanese taste, covers 26 acres. The buildings are of wood, and arc characterized by a certain quiet elegance which is peculiarly Japanese. They contain many fine paintings by Japanese artists, and much fine carving. To the southwest of this is the ''Nijo'', the castle of the Shogun, built in 1601, and now the seat of the city government. Though one of the gayest of cities, Kioto is a great religious centre, and temples and shrines abound. {{NIE article link|Shinto|Shintō|nosc=yes}} (q.v.) claims 93, and Buddhism about 950. In the southern part of the city are the Eastern and Western Hongwan-ji, the headquarters of the Shin sect, whose temples are noted for their great size, their magnificence, and their accessibility. On the eastern hills are many fine temples, such as the Chi-on-in and the San-ju-san-gen-Do. In this neighborhood is also found a large mound—the Mimidzuka—containing the ears and noses of the Koreans slain in the wars of Hideyoshi (1592–98). To the northeast of the Imperial palace on the way to Otsu, at a height of 2000 feet, and overlooking Lake Biwa, are the famous Buddhist monasteries of Hiyei-zan, founded about {{asc|A.D.}} 800, and intended originally to shield the palace from the evil influences of the north. Kioto is the centre of many art industries. Here the finest silks, crapes, velvet, brocades, and embroideries, porcelain, cloisonné enameled ware, bronzes, etc., arc produced, the manufacture giving employment to thousands of skilled hands. Much Satsuma and other ware is brought here to be decorated. Under the city government is an. industrial department for the promotion of the industrial arts, established in 1870, which includes experimental gardening, an experimental farm, a weaving department where foreign looms are used, a physical and chemical department, a female industrial school, a pauper industrial school, a shoemaking establishment, etc. Kioto is the seat of an Imperial university, with colleges of law, medicine, and engineering, supported by the Government, and under the auspices of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions is a college of good standing called the Doshisha, where theology is also taught.<section end="s7" /><noinclude></noinclude> fg3pxt2huf4xje7qi9vntnx182ww22j Page:The New International Encyclopædia 1st ed. v. 11.djvu/573 104 3114026 15135967 13614080 2025-06-14T23:03:30Z TE(æ)A,ea. 2831151 /* Proofread */ 15135967 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TE(æ)A,ea." />{{rh|KIOTO.|517|KIPLING.}}</noinclude><section begin="s1" />There are many schools, including five of the higher middle schools, and a training college for teachers.

The popular name is a corruption of ''Kâ-i-gwǔ'', the name by which they call themselves. According to their own traditions, which are borne out by those of other tribes, they at one time lived in the Rocky Mountains of western Montana on the headwaters of the Missouri and Columbia rivers. From this position they moved out into the plains and formed an alliance with the Crow, for whom them still entertain a friendly feeling. Following the buffalo herds and pressed by the Sioux and Cheyenne, they moved southward, halting for a time in the Black Hills, then making their camps upon the Platte, and later still upon the upper Arkansas. Here they first came into contact with the Comanche farther to the south, with whom they carried on war for some time. Since 1790 these tribes have acted as confederates. At a later period the Kiowa made peace with the Cheyenne and Arapahoe. They were noted as one of the most hostile and unruly tribes of the plains, and maintained almost constant warfare along the American and Mexican frontiers until the great Treaty of Medicine Lodge, Kansas, in 1867, when, with the Cheyenne, Arapahoe, Comanche, and Kiowa-Apache, they consented to give up their free range and come upon reservations in what is now Oklahoma. They were slow to move, however, and it required a winter campaign by Custer the next year to bring them in. In 1874 they again broke out, together with most of the other four tribes, but were subdued the next year by Mackenzie, who shot their ponies, confiscated their arms, and deported a number of their chiefs and warriors to Florida. Since then they have remained quietly upon their reservation, which was thrown open by treaty in 1901, so that they are now in law American citizens. The majority now occupy houses and wear civilized dress, instead of the tipi and G-string, the change having come within the past few years. In other respects they retain most of their primitive customs and habit of thought. Their great annual ceremony was the {{NIE article link|sun dance|nosc=yes}} (q.v.), and their great tribal palladium was the Taimé, a stone image somewhat resembling a human figure. They did not have the clan system, but were subdivided into six recognized bands, and had a well-organized military order of six degrees. They have also a pictograph calendar running back some seventy years. Associated with them, and constituting one of the six bands of their tribal circle, is a small tribe of Athapascan stock, locally known as Kiowa-Apache. The term is a misnomer, however, excepting as it indicates the remote stock affinity; for these people, who call themselves ''Nadíishañ-dína'', have come down along the plains, and have no tradition of a time when they were not associated with the Kiowa. The greatest strength of the Kiowa at any time within a century was probably less than 1800. They number now about 1100, while the Kiowa-Apache number 160.

For this A. Newton suggested the substitution of ‘Holarctic,’ which Heilprin at once adopted. More recently Gadow has used ‘Periarctic’ as a synonym, on the ground that it is more precise. Its faunal characteristics are those sketched in the first paragraph, with the omission of such forms as are exclusively Ethiopian (Africa, south of the Sahara) or Oriental (the Asiatic coast and islands south of the Himalayan watershed). The faunal agreement between North America and the northern part of the Old World is greater than any differences. There are few families not represented in both, and the distinctive animals are mainly local genera or species, while a great many apparently identical forms occur on both continents, having a circumpolar distribution due either to their powers of travel or to ancient land connections.

A French philosopher of the eighteenth century, and one of the Encyclopædists. (See {{NIE article link|Encyclopédie}}.) He was born of wealthy parents, at Heidelsheim, in the Palatinate, in 1723. At an early age he went to Paris, where he continued to reside during the remainder of his life. As Holbach was remarkable for his agreeable social qualities, and kept a good table, the most eminent thinkers and writers of the day, such as Condorcet, Diderot, Duclos, Helvétius, Raynal, Rousseau, Buffon, etc., were in the habit of assembling at his house. The witty Abbé Galiani called Holbach the ''maître d’hôtel'' of philosophy. Here speculation, it is said, was carried to such daring lengths that Buffon, D’Alembert, and Rousseau were compelled to withdraw from the circle. Holbach was the zealous champion of naturalism, and contended not only against Christianity, but against all positive religion. His principal work, the ''Système de la nature'' (published anonymously in 1770), has been called the “Bible of Naturalism.” In this work the author endeavors to expound the principles of morality upon a sensualistic, materialistic, deterministic, egoistic, and atheistic basis. For him God is only an ideal being, created by kings and priests. The work is in no sense original, but gives voice to the materialism of the French philosophes of the eighteenth century, which is nowhere more openly advocated than in the writings of Holbach. He was a man of good heart, and, in spite of his theory, of most unselfish benevolence. When the Jesuits fell into disgrace during the reign of Louis XV., Holbach, though he hated their system and had written against them in the days of their prosperity, made his house an asylum for his old foes when the clouds gathered around them. Many anonymous works besides the ''Système'' have been attributed to Holbach. Consult: Avezac-Lavigne, ''Diderot et la société dubaron d’Holbach'' (Paris, 1878); Morley, "Three Works of the Eighteenth Century Century, I. Holbach’s System of Nature," in ''Fortnightly Review'' (London, 1877); id., ''Diderot and the Encyclopædists'' (London, 1878; 2d ed. 1886). <section end="Holbach, Paul Henri Thyry n’, Baron" /> <section begin="Holbein, Hans (the Elder)" />'''HOLBEIN,''' {{NIE key|hō̇l′bīn}}, {{sc|Hans}}, the Elder (c. 1460–1524). A noted German painter, whose reputation was for a long time overshadowed by that of his celebrated son, Hans the Younger, to whom most of the elder master’s finest productions were formerly attributed. But little is known of his life. He was born at Augsburg, the son of the tanner Michael Holbein, and resided there at intervals for many years, alternately prosperous and in want, first mentioned in the rate-books of the city in 1494. He became a citizen of Ulm in 1499, and two years later visited Frankfort. After 1516 he lived at a short distance from Augsburg, and in 1517 wandered off to paint an altarpiece at Isenheim, in Alsace, where he died. The name of his master is not known: that he worked for some time in the studio of Martin Schongauer at Colmar is a mere surmise suggested by a certain resemblance of style, especially in the types of his heads. Undoubtedly Holbein formed his style on the models of the early Flemish school, and subsequently modified it by yielding to local tradition and Italian influences. In his early pictures slender figures, mild and regular features, staidness of attitude, and a clear transparency of tone unrelieved by depth of shadow, are the prevailing characteristics. To this class belong the “Virgin and Child, with Two Angels,” in Sankt Moritz Chapel, Nuremberg, and a “Virgin and Child Enthroned, with Angels,” in the Landauer Brüderhaus in that city. Of a similar stamp are four altar panels (1493), representing “Joachim’s Sacrifice,” “Birth and Presentation of Mary,” and “Presentation of Christ,” in the Cathedral of Augsburg. Somewhat less marked is the Flemish origin of the master’s manner in a series of “Scenes from the Passion” (1499), and the altarpiece (1499) with the “Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore” in the centre, “Coronation of the Virgin” above it, the “Nativity” and “Martyrdom of Saint Dorothea” in the wings, both in the gallery at Augsburg. To the year 1499 belongs also the “Death of the Virgin” in the Basel Museum. In Frankfort he painted for the Dominicans a composite altarpiece (1501), comprising the “Last Supper,” “Entry of Christ Into Jerusalem,” “Expulsion of the Jews from the Temple,” etc., and “Seven Scenes from the Passion,” now all in the Städel Institute at Frankfort. Of the same period are the “Crucifixion,” “Descent from the Cross,” and “Entombment,” also “Sixteen Scenes from the Life of Mary,” all parts of a large altarpiece (1502) in the Old Pinakothek at Munich; a “Transfiguration” (1502) and “Christ Crowned with Thorns,” both in the Augsburg Gallery. A marked progress in the master’s manner is to be noticed in the “Life of Saint Paul” (1504), in its more ideal conception, correct drawing, and delicate execution, and of traditional interest as containing the portraits of the artist and his two sons, Ambrosius and Hans. The influence of the Italian Renaissance is still more apparent in the greater expressiveness and beauty of coloring displayed in the “Saint Catharine Altar” (1512), this and the preceding also in the Augsburg Gallery; but his maturest work is the “Martyrdom of Saint Sebastian” (1515–16), in the Pinakothek at Munich, a composition full of dramatic power, far transcending any of his previous efforts. His last important work was probably the “Fountain of Life” (1519), in the royal palace at Lisbon. <section end="Holbein, Hans (the Elder)" /><noinclude>{{sc|Vol.}} X.—10.</noinclude> a7mc19prk1vdo7b8szkv96kbdh8qshh Page:The New International Encyclopædia 1st ed. v. 10.djvu/162 104 3115603 15134309 14034481 2025-06-14T19:12:57Z Ekinonnakapito 3162895 First full page edit 15134309 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="James500" />{{rh|HOLBEIN.|140|HOLBEIN.}}</noinclude><section begin="Holbein, Hans (the Elder)" />Holbein the Elder also excelled as a portrait painter, and his rare gift for characterization is apparent especially in the numerous head studies, mostly in silver point, distributed in various collections, among which those in Berlin, Copenhagen, and Basel are the richest. The museum at Basel also possesses a number of sketches for his religious paintings. His brother {{sc|Sigismund}} (?-1540) first appears on the rate-books of Augsburg in 1504, and in 1519 removed to Bern, where he died, making his nephew, Hans the Younger, his heir. There is very little doubt that he assisted the elder master in several of his most important works, although no single picture can be traced to him directly. {{sc|Ambrosius}} (c.1494-c.1519), son and pupil of Hans the Elder, was born in Augsburg, and, with his brother, Hans the Younger, was sent to Basel about 1515, when both were engaged chiefly in designing title-pages, initials, and other illustrations for books. In 1517 he was admitted into the guild ‘Zum Himmel,’ and acquired the freedom of the city in the year following, but all trace of him is lost after 1519. The museum at Basel preserves three authenticated paintings by him: “Christ Crowned with Thorns” and two “Bust Portraits of Boys,” besides which the portrait of the goldsmith Georg Schweiger, of Augsburg, may also be attributed to him with tolerable certainty. A portrait of a young man (1518) is in the Hermitage at Saint Petersburg. Consult: The biography of Holbein the Elder, by Stödtner (Berlin, 1896 et seq.); also Woltmann, ''Holbein und seine Zeit'' (Leipzig, 1873–76). <section end="Holbein, Hans (the Elder)" /> <section begin="Holbein, Hans (the Younger)" />'''HOLBEIN,''' {{sc|Hans}}, the Younger (1497–1543). A German painter and designer, one of the chief masters of the German Renaissance. He was a son of Hans Holbein the Elder, and was born at Augsburg, where he studied with his father and with Hans Burgkmair. Two of the works which he probably painted in his father’s workshop survive: a “Madonna” (1514), in the Museum of Basel, and “Christ Dragged to the Crucifixion,” in the Gallery at Karlsruhe. Both resemble the work of his father, to whom the latter picture has also been ascribed. About 1515 we find Holbein at Basel, where he and his elder brother Ambrosius had probably come to make illustrations for books; Basel was then an important centre of the book trade. Here Hans was introduced into the classic world, especially through his association with Beatus Rhenanus, corrector for the printer Froben. This influence is revealed in the table-plate in the Museum of Zurich, which he painted for the family Baer, with scenes of hunting, fishing, and knightly tourneys, and in his eighty-three pen drawings for Erasmus’s Praise of Folly, which are in the Museum of Basel. These drawings are a curious mixture of the coarse style of the fifteenth century and the finer finish of the sixteenth. They show a great master at the beginning of his powers. The Museum of Basel also contains other characteristic works of 1516: a sign for a school-master, on which are painted two school scenes; the portraits of Burgomaster Jakob Meyer, of his wife, and of Hans Herbst, the painter in whose workshop Holbein worked before he became a member of the painters’ guild. In 1517 he went to Lucerne to decorate the façade and interior of the house of Jakob Hertenstein. These paintings have perished, but the original pen design in the Museum of Basel shows that the façade was decorated with classical subjects, completely in the style of the sixteenth century, and that he was influenced by the study of Mantegna’s prints. In 1518 he probably traveled in Lombardy, visiting Milan. The influence of the Lombard school may be seen in Holbein’s treatment of form after 1518, and in his “Last Supper” (Basel Museum), which closely resembles Leonardo’s masterpiece at Milan. In 1519 Holbein entered the painters’ guild of Basel, and in the following year he became a citizen. During the next few years he decorated the façades of a number of houses at Basel, chief among which was the “Hans zum Tanz,” of which the original pen design is in the Museum, with architectural decorations, and a representation of peasants dancing. He also began his extensive decorations of the council chamber, with antique historical subjects representing civic virtue and justice, and with allegorical figures. On the organ doors of the Minster of Basel he painted, in brown monochrome, grandiose figures of saints and angels singing. Among his panel pictures is an altarpiece of “Passion Scenes” of great dramatic power and fine effects of light and shade, and the “Dead Body of Christ” (1521), of striking, almost repulsive realism—all in the Museum of Basel. Among other works of this period is the “Madonna with Saints Ursus and Martin” (1522), in the Museum of Solothurn. Holbein’s best-known work is the “Madonna of Burgomaster Meyer,” painted in 1525 or 1526, which holds the same rank in German painting as the “Sistine Madonna” in Italian. The original is in the Gallery of Darmstadt, the Dresden example having been proved to be an excellent copy by a Netherlander of the seventeenth century. Especially fine, in this picture, are the portraits of the kneeling Burgomaster and his family, and the nude figure of his youngest son —a cherub worthy of Correggio. His portraits of this period include the refined face of Bonifazius Amerbach (1519), the first great German art collector, and three likenesses of Erasmus, who was then a resident of Basel—two in profile, at Basel and in the Louvre, and a larger three-quarter view in Longford Castle. Holbein’s mastery of female portraiture is shown in his two allegorical representations of Dorothea Offenburg in the Basel Museum—“The Lais Corinthiaca” (1526), and another portrait in which she is represented with Cupid. At the same time Holbein was occupied with other forms of design. Among his drawings of the period are two admirable youths, one a pencil, supposed to represent Holbein himself, the other a chalk drawing in the Museum of Basel. One of his favorite subjects was the contemporary German “Lanzknechte” (soldiers), in various actions and attitudes. To the same period belong his drawings of Basler female costumes, which may have been designs for actual use. His designs for glass-painting in the Basel Museum include ten wash drawings of “Passion Scenes,” the equals of the painted series mentioned above, Madonnas and other biblical subjects, and coats of arms-all in beautiful Renaissance framing. As a designer for wood-cuts Holbein is second only to Dürer. He left over three hundred blocks, the best of which were cut by Hans Lützelburger.

It was published in book form at Lyons in 1538, and has been often republished; good modern edition is that of Lippmann (Berlin, 1878). a The advent of the Reformation and the consequent disturbances in Basel were the chief cause of Holbein’s journey to England in 1526. Equipped with recommendations from his friend Erasmus, he found a ready welcome in the house of Sir Thomas More at Southwark. His activity during his stay there, which lasted two years, may best be studied in the fine series of chalk drawings at Windsor Castle (published in London, 1884). In 1527 he painted Sir Thomas More, now in possession of Henry Huth, London; Sir Henry Guildford, in Windsor Castle; and Archbishop Warham, of Canterbury, in Lambeth Palace (replica in the Louvre), the best of alla wonderful piece of realism and strength. Among his portraits of 1528 are those of Nicholas Kratzer, the King’s astrologer, in the Louvre, and of Thomas Godsalve and his son John, at Dresden. His famous picture of More and his family is lost, but the studies for the heads are at Windsor, and the pen sketch which he took for Erasmus is still at Basel. He returned to Basel in 1529 and purchased a house. But during his stay the storm of iconoclasm broke over the city, and the demand for religious pictures ceased. Holbein, indeed, finished his frescoes in the Council Chamber, adding two large subjects from the Old Testament, “Samuel Reproving Saul” and “Rehoboam’s Pride.” Both paintings are lost, but the sketches in the Museum of Basel, masterly in composition and dramatic action, show Holbein as a great historical painter. In 1529 he painted a highly realistic portrait of his wife and two children on paper (Basel Museum), two portraits of Erasmus (Parma and Basel), and one of Melanchthon (Hanover). In 1532, notwithstanding the efforts of the Burgomaster and Council of Basel to retain him, he returned to England. On his arrival at London he resided with the German merchants of the Steelyard, with whom he found occupation. In 1532 and in the following years he painted a number of portraits of these merchants, of which examples survive at Vienna, Windsor, Munich, Brunswick, and Petworth. The best is that of George Gysse (1532), in the Museum of Berlin, remarkable for strong character and the detailed finish of the accessories. On the occasion of Anne Boleyn’s coronation he designed for the German merchants an allegorical pageant of Parnassus; he decorated their guild-hall with two large paintings, of which there are sketches in the Louvre, “Triumph of Riches” and “Triumph of Poverty.” It is not known when he first entered Henry VIII.'s service, but in 1536 we find him mentioned as the King’s painter. In 1537 he was sent to Brussels to portray Christina of Denmark, Duchess of Milan, whom the King thought of marrying, and in 1539 to portray Anne of Cleves, whose portrait, now in the Louvre, had much to do with the King’s marrying her. His chief work for Henry VIII. was a group painted on the wall of the Privy Chamber at Whitehall, in 1537, representing the King with his father and mother and Jane Seymour. This painting was destroyed in the fire of 1698, but the cartoon of the King is at Hardwick Hall, and there are several copies of the portrait, the best known of which is at Windsor Castle. Holbein painted another excellent portrait of Jane Seymour, now in the Gallery of Vienna, and of Edward, Prince of Wales, at Hanover. The King also commissioned him to design various decorations, especially in the goldsmith’s art, in which he acquitted himself with great taste and ability, as is evident from the original designs in the British Museum and elsewhere. In 1538 he visited Basel, where he was banqueted by the council, and he promised to return after two years, which promise, however, he did not keep. His principal portraits, executed during his last stay in England, besides those mentioned above, are “The Ambassadors” (1533), in the National Gallery; Robert Cheeseman (1533), the King’s falconer, at The Hague; Thomas Cromwell, at Tittenhanger; Hubert Morett, at Dresden; Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, at Windsor; two “Unknown Men” at Berlin and Vienna, and an “Unknown Woman” at Vienna; Melchior Maag (1543), in the Huybrecht collection, Antwerp; Dr. John Chambers, the King’s physician, at Windsor. He also painted a number of miniatures, among which is that of Queen Catharine Howard in the library at Windsor, and executed a number of important designs for woodengravings, including the title-page of Coverdale’s Bible, illustrations of Cranmer’s catechism, and “King Henry in Council,” the title-page of Hall’s Chronicle. Holbein died of the pestilence in London in the autumn of 1543. He is chiefly known as a portrait painter, but his religious pictures, and especially his mural decorations, show that, had the opportunity presented itself, he might have been one of the greatest historical painters of all times. His portraits are absolutely true to nature, yet show a wonderful interpretation of character. The excellence of his drawing is attested by his large number of chalk and other drawings, especially in the Museum of Basel and in Windsor Castle. His method in portraiture seems to have been to make a careful chalk drawing of the sitter, which he afterwards transferred to the canvas. Holbein is by far the greatest colorist of the German school, and although the details of his portraits are highly finished, they in no wise interfere with the general effect. As a designer for wood-engraving he showed a thorough understanding of the art, combined with a fantasy and humor which have seldom been surpassed.

The ports of I'rance and Spain were l)usy distributing centres. At the close of the Mid- dle Ages, Antwerp, having outstripped Bruges and Ghent, became the greatest mart in Chris- tendom. The inventions and discoveries of the fifteenth century transferred the centres of trade successively to Lisbon, Amsterdam, and London. The mariner's compass made distant voyages pos- sible on the open sea. By 14S7 the Portuguese had explored the whole western coast of Africa, and in 145)7 Vasco da Gama passed round the Cape of Good Hope, to land in India in the fol- lowing year. Before the end of the centuiy Co- lumbus had thrice crossed the Atlantic, and Cabot, sent out by England, had discovered North America. Nearly all this daring enterprise had for its prime object the finding of some easy route to the fabulously wealthy East, to India and China. But a centurj- elapsed before the English fixed their first establishment or factory in India. The discovery of the New World, how- ever, was destined eventually to change the course and the nature of trade. From such rapidly spreading exploration and colonization there necessarily arose new wants, new products, new manufactures, and rapidly increasing trade; interrupted more or less by wars, but in the main marching steadily and rapidly on. The nineteenth century witnessed an extension of the commercial relations of man- kind to which there is no parallel in history. The history of commerce in the past century vould be an epitome of the world's economic de- velo]iment during its most intense and active period, and any enumeration of the causes of the tremendous strides which commerce has made must be p.artial. The progress of coloniza- tion in the widest sense, and the improvement of the means of transportation, are primary fac- tors which cannot be overlooked. In the nine- teenth century the greater part of the North American continent was opened up to occupa- tion, Australia and South Africa were peopled by men of white race, while large portions of Asia were brought luider the influence of West- ern rule or Western ideas. This, together with the great increase of population in Europe, has greatly augmented the productive power and con- suming power of widely distant parts of the earth, dependent upon commerce for the supply of their mutual wants. Application of steam to transportation alike by land and by water has intensified the progress of colonization as we have here used the term, and made possible the commerce which has resulted from it. In 1819 the Atlantic Ocean was first crossed by a steam vessel, and regular transatlantic steam communication was inaugurated in 1838. Since then the increase of steam navigation has been rapid, particularly in the last fifty years, until now the greater part of maritime navigation is carried on by steamships. Their far greater bulk and greater speed have led to the gradual dis- placement of the old sailing ships, and have greatly nuiltiplied the potentialities of foreign commerce. The railway has been a factor of the greatest consequence in the development of sea-home traftie. Before its advent it was only the produce of coast regions, or of those parts adjacent to inland waterways, which could par- ticipate in the foreign trade. But the raihoad has utterly changed this condition. Of great importance, too, has been the influence of the telegrapli in transmitting orders and other com- nuniications between distant points without loss of time. These developments have made it pos- sible to transport long distances not only goods whose weiglit formerly debarred them from a l>lace in foreign commerce, but also more perish- able goods which, under the slower transporta- tion of earlier days, could not be handled. Some notion of the rapid development of com- merce can be gained from the statement that the aggregate exports and imports of the United States, which in 1701 were .$43,000,000. reached in 18.50 .$318,000,000, and in the fiscal vear end- ing .June 30, 1900, $2,244,000,000. For a com- parison with earlier dates, we may select a few figures for Great Britain and Ireland, which show the development of commerce in the past three hundred vears : YEARS Imports Exports Combined Imports and Exports 1613 £2,141,151 4.016.019 4.526,579 11,002.000 28,258,000 143,542.850 420.885.695 523,633,486 £2.487,435 2,022.812 6.644,103 12.142.000 34.382.000 116.091.310 327,880,670 354,550,594 £4.628,586 1662 6.038.831 1703 11,170.683 1770 23.144.000 1800 62.640,000 1865 260.234.160 1890 748.766.371 1900 878.184.080 World's Commerce.

He was supported by the Church, but could not command the obedience of the great dukes who were almost independent. He died December 23, 918, and was buried at Fulda.

Immediately after his election he commenced a tour through Germany for the purpose of administering justice. To ameliorate the condition of his subjects, he instituted the {{NIE lkpl|Truce of God|Truce of God}} (q.v.). In 1026 he crossed the Alps, chastised the rebellious Italians, was crowned at Milan as King of Italy, and in the following year was anointed Emperor of the Romans by the Pope. He was soon recalled to Germany by the outbreak of formidable revolts, which he succeeded in suppressing. In 1032 he annexed the Arletan territories to the Empire. In 1036 a rebellion in Italy again compelled him to cross the Alps; but his efforts to restore his authority were this time unsuccessful, and he was forced to grant various privileges to his Italian subjects. Shortly after his return he died, at Utrecht, June 3, 1039. Conrad was one of the most remarkable of the earlier monarchs of Germany. He repressed the power of the great feudal nobles, and, by keeping the great duchies in his own family, strengthened the position of the Crown.

Conrad, with his elder brother, Frederick, supported Henry V. against his enemies, and in return that monarch granted Conrad the investiture of the Duchy of Franconia. He subsequently contested the crown of Italy with the Emperor Lothair of Saxony, but without success. On the death of Lothair the princes of Germany, fearing the increasing preponderance of the Guelph party, and attracted by Conrad’s brilliant courage and noble character, offered him the crown, and he was accordingly elected at Aix-la-Chapelle, March 7, 1138. He was immediately involved in a quarrel with Henry the Proud, Duke of Bavaria and Saxony, and this was the origin of the conflict that raged for centuries between the Welfs or Guelphs, the partisans of Duke Henry, and the Waiblings or Ghibellines, the supporters of the Franconian house. (See {{NIE article link|Guelphs And Ghibellines}}.) In 1147 Saint Bernard of Clairvaux commenced to preach a new crusade, and Conrad set out for Palestine at the head of a large army (see {{NIE article link|Crusades}}), in company with his old enemy, Welf of Bavaria. He died February 15, 1152. Consult: Bernhardi, ''Jahrbücher des deutschen Reiches unter Konrad III.'' (Leipzig, 1883); Jaffé, ''Geschichte des deutschen Reiches unter Konrad III.''

Unable to make head against the increasing anarchy in Germany, Conrad retired to Italy in 1251, and succeeded in reëstablishing the power of the Hohenstaufen in Naples in the face of the hostility of the Papacy.

CORN LAWS. A name given in England to the long series of statutes dating as far back as the reign of Edward III., and terminating only in the year 1840, which had for their object the regulation of the trade in grain. The tenor of these laws varied with the idea which was uppermost in the minds of the legislators. At one time designed to secure a proper supply of grain, the exportation of grain was prohibited, or allowed only when a surplus of the home supply revealed itself in the low price for grain. Later the underlying principle was frankly the encouragement and support of the agricultural interests, resulting in the prohibition of the im- portation of grain, or pennitting it only when the price of grain was extremely high and im- portation seemed unavoidable to prevent famine. At times, moreover, in the long and varied his- tory of this legislation, resort was had to bounties as a means of encouraging and promot- ing home production. The shitting of legislation attracted little comment and less agitation until the beginning of the nineteenth century. At that time the manufacturing interests grew restive under the restrictions which were placed upon the trade in grain, and early in the century some- thing in the nature of a compromise was made by the adoption of a sliding scale in the duties on importation. The object of this device was to reduce the import duties in proportion as the price of grain increased, so that at famine prices grain might be imported duty free. By the act of 1828. at the price of 02s. a quarter for wheat, the import duty was f 1 4s. 8d. For every shilling less in the price, a shilling was added to the duty, but when the price rose above this point the duty decreased by a larger ratio than the rise in price. At the price of 69s., the duty was 15s. 8d., and at 73s. the duty sank to its minimum of Is. Such an arrange- ment not only promoted speculative operations, but also prevented foreign countries from fur- nishing grain habitually for the British market. This legislation was obviously in the interest of the landowners, but as the tendency of Great Britain to be an importing rather than an virtually an attempt to aggrandize the landed interest by pressure upon the I'uikI of the peoi)le. The maiuifacturing interests, which were now rapidly coming into ])uwer, devoted their ener- gies to combating this principle, which increased the cost of living, and, through wages, the cost of manufacturing. Hut the public at large, though conscious thatthe laws were some way improper, or at variance with the principles of political economy, did not, till the very last, earnestly unite in calling for repeal. There was a ]]ticrful party who represented with won- derful ])huisibility that these restrictive statutes were identilied with the best interests of the country. Their arginnents might thus be sunniied up: (1) Protection was necessary, in order to keep certain poor lands in cultivation. (2) It was desirable to cultivate as much land as pos- sible in order to improve the country. (3| If improvement by that means Avere cheeked, Eng- land would be dependent on foreigners for a large portion of the food of the people. (4) Such dependence would be fraught with immense danger: in the event of war, su])plies might be stopped, or the ports might be blockaded, the result being famine, disease, and civil war. (5) The advantage gained by protection enabled the landed proprietors and their tenants to encourage manufactures and trade: so much so, that if the com laws were abolished, half the country shop- keepers would be ruined; that would be followed by the stoppage of many of the mills and facto- ries, and no one would venture to say what would be the final consequences. It cannot be uninstructive to put on record that these argu- ments exercised a commanding influence over the laboring classes, the small town shopkeepers, almost all the members of the learned profes- sions, and a considerable section of both Houses of Parliament. Yielding at length to the con- tinued agitation, and recognizing that England's prosperity lay in the devclnpment of her manu- factures rather than in the further encourage- ment of agriculture. Sir Robert Peel, in 1840. at the time' of the Irish famine, effected the repeal of the Corn Laws. (See Axti- Corn-Law League: Cobdex. Richard.) The area devoted to wheat cultivation in England is less to-day than it was fifty years ago, althougii the population has greatly increased. Modern methods of communication, however, have opened up new areas of supply, and the development of juanufactures and commerce has amply com- ])ensated for the loss in agricultural production.

The names of Prior, Tickell, Garth, Blackmore, Ambrose Philips, Somerville, and Anne, countess of Winchelsea, also belong here. It is remarked by Wordsworth that between the publication of "Paradise Lost" (1667) and of the "Seasons" (1730) of James Thomson, with the exception of the "Windsor Forest" of Pope and a passage in the "Nocturnal Reverie" of the countess of Winchelsea, not a single new image of external nature was produced in poetry. "The Seasons" is almost the only memorial which the age has left of poetical sympathy with natural scenery. It was original as well in style as in substance, for its blank verse has an easy flow peculiar to itself. Thomson's "Castle of Indolence" is a successful imitation of the manner of Spenser, and has great and peculiar beauty. The "Night Thoughts" of Edward Young (died in 1765) is also in effective blank verse, dissertational rather than simply poetical, in a sustained imaginative and epigrammatic style. The "Grave" of Robert Blair and the hymns of Watts are serious and devotional compositions of the same time. Through the "Bastard" of Richard Savage, the "London" and "Vanity of Human Wishes" of Dr. Johnson, the eclogues and odes of William Collins, the "Pleasures of Imagination" of Mark Akenside, the odes and the "Elegy" of Thomas Gray, the "Deserted Village" and the "Traveller" of Oliver Goldsmith, the "Minstrel" of James Beattie, the "Botanic Garden" of Erasmus Darwin, and the "Task" of William Cowper, the line of English poetry was continued almost to the commencement of the present century. Johnson and Goldsmith both belonged to the school of Pope; but their poetry has distinctive characteristics, that of Johnson being marked especially by vigor and strong sense, and that of Goldsmith by sweetness and grace. The "Ode on the Passions" and several other pieces of Collins are masterpieces in their kind, and especially remarkable for the pictorial effects produced by the personification of abstract qualities. Collins and Gray were the two finest lyric poets of the century, and Gray's "Elegy written in a Country Churchyard" and his Pindaric ode of "The Bard" are exquisite examples of finished art and poetical vigor. Cowper was the precursor of the regeneration of poetry, and, abandoning the stock images and metrical sing-song with which art and fashion had been described, he produced pictures of English life and scenery marked by a simplicity, freedom, and freshness which anticipated the dawn of a new period. Among the productions of minor poets of the 18th century are the "Grongar Hill" of John Dyer, the "Schoolmistress "of Shenstone, the "Collin and Lucy" of Tickell, the "William and Margaret" of Mallet, the Scotch songs of Ross, the "Mary's Dream" of Lowe, the "Auld Robin Gray" of Lady Anne Barnard, the "Tullochgorum" of Skinner, the "Tweedside" of Crawford, the various poems of Ferguson, the odes and the epitaph on his wife of Mason, the odes of Smollett, the "Art of Preserving Health" of Armstrong, the "Cumnor Hall "and the translation of the "Lusiad" of Mickle, the "Braes of Yarrow" of Hamilton, the elegies of Hammond, the "Careless Content" of Byrom, the "Country Justice" of Langhorne, the "Lawyer's Farewell to his Muse" of Blackstone, the "[[The Shipwreck (Falconer, 1762)|Shipwreck]]" of [[Author:William Falconer (1732-1769)|Falconer]], the "Actor" of Robert Lloyd, the "Rosciad" and other satires of Charles Churchill, the brief poems of Thomas and Joseph Warton, the "Leonidas" and "Athenais" of Glover, the short lyrics and translations of Sir William Jones, the "Chameleon" of Merrick, the pastorals of John Cunningham, the "New Bath Guide" of Anstey, and the "Triumphs of Temper" and other works of Hayley. In the latter half of the 18th century also Macpherson produced the pieces which he ascribed to Ossian, Chatterton wrote the poems which he ascribed to Rowley, and Percy collected many old songs and ballads in his "Reliques of English Poetry." The English drama of the 18th century bore to a considerable extent the impress of the neo-classical school reigning in France, and presented a complete separation of tragedy and comedy. The "Cato" of Addison, the "Elfrida" of Mason, and the "Irene" of Johnson are rather dramatic poems than plays. The "Sophonisba" and four other tragedies of Thomson are the undramatic attempts of a descriptive poet. More successful tragedies were the "Revenge" of Young, the "Barbarossa" of Brown, the "Gamester "of Moore, the "Elvira" of Mallet, and the "Douglas" of Home. In this period were produced the finest examples of English comedy, written usually in prose, and exhibiting refinement of sentiment and wit. The forerunners of the comedies of Goldsmith and Sheridan were the "Conscious Lovers" of Steele, the "Suspicious Husband" of Hoadley, the "Jealous Wife" of the elder Colman, the "Clandestine Marriage "of Colman and Garrick, the "Way to Keep Him" of Murphy, the "False Delicacy" of Kelly, and the "West Indian" of Cumberland. Goldsmith's "She Stoops to Conquer" has every requisite for making an audience merry. The "School for Scandal," the "Rivals," and the "Critic" of Sheridan are distinguished for epigrammatic witticisms, insight into social weaknesses, and ingeniously contrived whimsical situations; and the first is in many respects superior to any other comedy of modern times. The "Lying Valet" and "Miss in her Teens" of Garrick, the "Belle's Stratagem" of Mrs. Cowley, the "Tom Thumb" of Fielding, the "Man of the World" of Macklin, the "High Life Below Stairs" of Townley, the "Devil to Pay" of Coffey, and especially the score of farcical plays of Foote, were the best and most popular comic productions of this epoch.—The prose authors of the 18th century may nearly all be classed as essayists, philosophers, histo-<noinclude></noinclude> ntuicvihdo2tfwt9e14wdw0r3ji813f Page:The American Cyclopædia (1879) Volume II.djvu/371 104 3151388 15134633 10092049 2025-06-14T21:55:09Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT 15134633 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="James500" /></noinclude>BARTOLI BARTOLOMMEO 351 graphic sketches of travel with philosophical reflections ; a history of the " West Church and its Ministers ; " " Church and Congregation : a Plea for their Unity" (1858); " Word of the Spirit to the Church ; " and " Radical Prob- lem " (1872). He has also published a variety of occasional and miscellaneous discourses and essays, besides numerous contributions to the leading periodicals of the day, and several poet- ical compositions. His writings are character- ized by a remarkable individuality of thought and illustration, and a certain antique quaint- ness of style. Although of a deeply religious tone, they give more prominence to the ethical and social element than to theological doctrine. BARTOLI, Daniele, an Italian author, born in Ferrara, Feb. 12, 1608, died in Rome, Jan. 13, 1685. lie entered the society of Jesus at the age of 15, and was sent to Rome in 1650 to write the history of the order, and in 1671 was appointed rector of the Roman college. His Istoria della compagnia di Gesti, (5 vols. fol., Rome, 1653-'63; 12 vols., Turin, 1825) is in five parts, three relating to the East, including China, Japan, and Mongolia, one to Italy, and one to England, chiefly in the times of Eliza- beth and James I. He wrote also Vita e h- tituto di S. Ignazio (1689), which has been widely circulated in English ; and L 1 Homo di lettere, also translated into English. i:KTOI.I, Pietro Saiili, known also as PE- BtiGio, an Italian engraver, born about 1635, died in Rome in 1700. He was a pupil of Nicolas Poussin, and imitated his master's works with wonderful fidelity. He excelled chiefly as an engraver, his prints of Greek and Roman works being much valued by Winck- elmann. His most celebrated designs are af- ter the Scriptural frescoes of Raphael in the Vatican. His St. John, after Mola, is in the Louvre, and his " Jupiter crushing the Giants," after Giulio Romano, is at Mantua. He com- pleted over 1,000 plates, chiefly etchings, which have become very scarce. litlt'l'oi.lM. Lorenzo, an Italian sculptor, born at Savignano, near Prato, Tuscany, in 1777, died in Florence, Jan. 20, 1850. He took lessons from a French artist in Florence, . and went to Paris in 1797, where his bass relief of " Cleobis and Biton " won a prize from the academy. He became a great favorite of Na- poleon, who charged him in 1808 with the establishment of an academy at Carrara, from which city he was expelled after the over- throw of the emperor, whom he accompanied to Elba. After the battle of Waterloo he re- turned to Florence, where he directed the de- partment of sculpture, and was professor in the academy of fine arts. He was regarded in Italy as next to Canova in eminence. He ex- celled especially by his graceful drapery, and by his exquisite modelling of the flesh. In the Pitti palace at Florence is his masterwork, a marble group representing Charity. Among his numerous other works in that city are statues of the Venus de' Medici and of Machiavelli. 75 VOL. it. 23 At Milan is his statue of "Faith in God," erect- ed by the marchioness Trivulzio in commemo- ration of her husband ; in the cathedral of Lau- sanne is his monument of Lady Harriet Strat- ford Canning; and his Bacchante is in the duke of Devonshire's collection in England. In Paris he made busts of Madame de Stael, Lord Byron, the countess Guiccioli, Thiers, and many other prominent persons, besides the monument of Prince Nicholas Demidoff and the marble statues of Arnina, nvmph of the Arno (1841), and of "The Nymph with the Scorpion " (1845). i: U! 1 01.0. or Bartoll. I. Taddco di, an Ital- ian painter of the Sienese school, flourished from 1390 to 1414. He was the son and grandson of painters. Some of his pictures are at Pisa, Volterra, and Padua, and one of his celebrated madonnas is in the gallery of the late king Louis I. of Bavaria. His most re- markable fresco painting, in the vestibule of the chapel of the Palazzo Pubblico at' Siena, representing celebrated men of antiquity, was imitated by Perugio in the exchange at Peru- gia. II. Domenlco dl, nephew and pupil of the preceding, was a painter of frescoes (1440), from which Raphael while at Siena derived a knowledge of national costumes. His "Ascen- sion of the Virgin " is in the museum of Berlin. B1RTOL09IMEO, I'm, an Italian painter, whose real name was BACCIO DELLA PORTA, called also il Frate and Fra Bartolommeo di San, Marco, born at Savignano in 1469, died in Florence, Oct. 8, 1517. He studied under Cosimo Rosselli, and acquired his knowledge of chiaroscuro from Leonardo da Vinci. His first works were of small size, such as his two cabinet pictures in the Florentine gallery, rep- resenting the "Nativity" and the "Circumcis- ion." In his fresco of the "Last Judgment," in the chapel of Santa Maria Nuova, he adopted a grander style. He was an admirer and friend of Savonarola, whose execution preyed so much upon his mind that in July, 1500, he entered the convent of Prato, and subsequently that of San Marco. But he resumed his pro- fession in 1504, and became intimate with Raphael, whom he instructed in coloring and the folding of draperies, while Raphael taught him the rules of perspective. Subsequently he went to Rome, to study the works of that master and of Michael Angelo. In the convent of San Marco are some of Fra Bartolommeo's most finished frescoes. One of his finest pro- ductions, "The Virgin upon a Throne," is in the public gallery of Florence. In the Pitti palace is his single figure of St. Mark, which is described by Winckelmann as a Grecian statue transformed into a picture. In the Qiiirinal of Rome are two of his pictures, St. Peter and St. Paul. The latter was most admired by Ra- phael, who completed it. Other famous works of his are to be found in Rome, Naples, Mu- nich, Berlin, and St. Petersburg ; and those removed by Napoleon I. to the Louvre have been restored to Florence.

Ponce de Leon occupied the island with a large military force and maintained headquarters there for ten years. The Spaniards remained in control of the island until 1898. It was visited often by pirates. San Juan was sacked in 1595 by Sir Francis Drake. Other attacks by English forces were defeated. Porto Rico was created a province of Spain in 1869, and slavery was abolished in 1873, The fortifica- tions of San Juan were bombarded by a fleet under Admiral Sampson, in July, 1898, and a military expedition under General Miles took possession without opposition. By the Treaty of Paris, in 1898, Porto Rico was ceded to the United States. With the exception of political struggles, the American administration was without important event. In 1912 laws were passed providing for sanitary reform, a bureau of labor, and the minor- ity representation. The inhabitants of Porto Rico were granted citizenship on March 2, 1917. Prohibition was voted by the people on July 16 of the same year. During 1918 officers' training camps were opened on the island and a large number of young men were trained for military service. In 1918-1919 a new election law was passed. Amend- ments were also made to the labor laws. The population of Porto Rico in 1910 was 1,118,012; in 1920, 1,297,772. The chief towns are San Juan, Ponce, and Mayaguez. PORT SAID, a town of Egypt, on the W. side of the Suez Canal, on a desolate strip of land between Lake Menzaleh and the Mediterranean. The place owes its origin to the Suez Canal, being named after Said Pasha, its promoter, and de- pends wholly on the canal trade, being mainly a coaling station for steamers. Pop. with Ismailia, about 95,000. In the World War it was a military base for operations against the Turks. PORTSMOUTH, the principal station of the British navy, a seaport, municipal and parliamentary borough of England, in Hampshire, on the S. W. extremity of the island of Portsea. It consists of the four districts, Portsmouth proper, Port- sea, Landport, and Southsea, Portsmouth proper is a garrison town. Portsea is the seat of the naval dockyard; Land- port is an artisan quarter; and Southsea on the E. side of the town of Portsmouth is a favorite seaside resort. The island of Portsea, which is separated from the mainland by a narrow creek called Portsbridge Canal, is bounded on the E. by Langston Harbor, on the W. by Ports- mouth Harbor, and on the S. by Spit- head and the Harbor Channel. The royal dockyard covers an area of about 500 acres, and is considered the largest and most magnificent establishment of the kind in the world. It includes vast store houses, containing all the materials requisite for naval architecture; ma- chine shops, with all modern appliances; extensive slips and docks, in which the largest ships of the navy are built or repaired; ranges of handsome resi- dences for the officials, and a Royal Navy College, with accommodation for 70 stu- dents. Outside the dockyard an area of 14 acres contains the gun wharf, where vast numbers of guns and other ord- nance stores are kept. Portsmouth has no manufactures of any consequence, ex- cept those immediately connected with its naval establishments, and a few large breweries. Its trade, both coasting and foreign, is of considerable extent. Of late years an extensive and systematic series of fortifications has been under construction for the complete defense of Portsmouth. They extend along a curve of about 1% miles at the N. side of Port- sea Island. A series of hills, 4 miles to the N. of Portsmouth, and commanding its front to the sea, are well fortified with strong forts. On the Gosport side a line of forts extends for 4 miles. The municipal and parliamentary borough in- cludes nearly the whole of the island of Portsea. It sends two members to the House of Commons. Pop. (1917) 178,- 327.

PORTUGAL, THE REPUBLIC OF, forming the W. portion of the Iberian peninsula; bounded by Spain and the Atlantic; area 36,038 square miles; pop. about 6,000,000. Topography. — The country generally inclines from N. E. to S. W. Several of the great mountain chains of Spain in- tersect it from E. to W. and terminate in large promontories in the Atlantic. The most remarkable of these chains is the Serra de Estrella, nearly in the cen- ter of Portugal. This chain is a con- tinuation of the Serra de Gata, and cul- minates in an elevation of 7,524 feet above the level of the sea. Another chain is the Serra de Monchique, the ex- tremity of which, Cape St. Vincent, is the S. W. point, not only of Portugal, but of Europe. The principal rivers are the Tagus, the Douro, the Minho, and the Guadiana. Productions. — Wheat, barley, oats, flax, hemp, vines, and maize in the ele- vated tracts; rice in the low grounds, wth olives, oranges, lemons, citrons, figs, and almonds. Silk is made of a very good quality. There are extensive for- ests of oak in the N., chestnut in the center, and the sea pine and cork in the S. Oxen are employed as beasts of draught, and mules and asses as those of ^ burden. Cattle, sheep, goats, and Bwine are numerous, and fish abound in the rivers and on the coasts. Iron mines are worked, and the mountains abound in fine marble, and contain traces of gold and silver. Of salt, large quantities are formed in bays along the coast, by nat- ural evaporation. There are numerous salt marshes, and upward of 200 min- eral springs. The manufactures are limited, principally consisting of woolens, silk, and earthenware. Cotton spinning is followed, and paper, glass, and gun- powder are made in a few places. The state religion is the Roman Catholic; but all others are tolerated. The peace strength of the army is 30,000 men, and the personnel of the navy is 6,000. History. — Portugal forms the greater part of ancient Lusitania. It was sub- jugated by the Romans, in the time of Augustus, and was constituted into a province. In the 5th century, on the overthrow of the Roman supremacy, Portugal was invaded by the Alans and Visigoths, and suffered with Spain, of which it was then a part, all the troubles and vicissitudes endured by the inhabi- tants of the peninsula till the 8th cen- tury, at which time the Arabs, called in- differently Saracens or Moors, possessed themselves of the whole of Portugal, and kept absolute dominion for nearly 400 years. In the 12th century, Don Alonzo Henriquez, a Spanish prince of Leon and Castile, gained a great victory over the Moors oi Portugal and was made King. Don Alonzo had no sooner re- ceived the crown, than he renounced all dependence on Spain and established a free and sovereign state. Under the descendants of Don Alonzo I., especially Dennis I. and Alonzo IV., Portugal, during the next two centuries, rose in political importance and commer- cial prosperity. In 1385, the King of Castile having laid claim to the crown of Portugal on the death of Ferdinand, was opposed and defeated by Don John, Fer- dinand's brother, and ascending the va- cant throne, ruled his subjects with jus- tice and prudence. Under John I. the Portuguese first projected those Atlan- tic discoveries on the African coast, fraught with such territorial and com- mercial advantages to the nation; and, under John II. and Emanuel, between 1481 and 1521, Vasco de Gama ex- plored the Indian Ocean; the riches of the East began to pour into Europe; Goa became a prosperous possession, and Brazil was added to the possessions of the crown of Portugal. Sebastian III., fired with a holy zeal to exterminate the infidels from his country, commenced a sanguinary crusade against the Moors, which he carried on through such re- peated defeats, that he eventually lost<noinclude></noinclude> obp0ypbulybl89az19pceou2bkjk136 Page:Collier's New Encyclopedia v. 07.djvu/389 104 3159531 15134570 13603438 2025-06-14T21:45:35Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT 15134570 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="James500" />{{rh|LEFT|321|RIGHT}}</noinclude>PORTUGUESE EAST AFBICA 321 POSIEDON both his crown and life in the struggle. Henry the Cardinal, his uncle, an old man of 70, ascended the throne, but died without heirs, after a reign of only two years, in 1580. With Henry terminated the male line, after enduring for 460 years. Spain once more laid claim to the vacant throne, and Portugal again became a de- pendency of the Spanish crown, the na- tion suffering all the injustice, exactions, and tyranny usually inflicted on a con- quered country by its haughty masters. After enduring 60 years of intolerable hardships and exactions, a Portuguese nobleman named John, Duke of Bra- ganza, pitying his unfortunate country- men, excited a revolution, which again broke the Spanish fetters, while the people hailed their deliverer as their king, who, being crowned as John IV., commenced the dynasty of the House of Braganza, a family whose descendants held sway until the Republic. When Napoleon, in 1807, entered the country, and declared the family of Braganza had ceased to reign, the royal family of Por- tugal, and all the court, set sail from the Tagus to Brazil. After the downfall of Napoleon, the history of Portugal is composed of a long succession of political disturbances. At the death of Queen Maria da Gloria her eldest son ascended the throne, in 1853, as Pedro V., and died prematurely in 1861, leaving the throne to Louis I., second son of Dona Maria. In October, 1889, Carlos I., his son, succeeded to the throne. His reign created great discontent and on Feb. 1, 1908, the King and Crown Prince were assassinated. The second son was raised to the throne as Manuel II., but was deposed in the revolution of Oct. 1910, when a republic was proclaimed under Theo. Braga. The republic was formed in September, 1911, with Dr. Arriaga as President. Shortly after the outbreak of the World War in 1914, Por- tugal took sides with England and aided in the South African campaign. PORTUGUESE EAST AFRICA OR MOZAMBIQUE, a possession of Portu- gal on the E. coast of Africa, having an area of 293,400 square miles and popu- lation of about 4,000,000. Almost all of the inhabitants belong to the Bantu race, although in the southern portion there are a number of Zulus. The colony is rich in mineral resources, but because of the tropical and unfavorable climate, as well as the bad transportation facilities these have been little developed. The chief mineral deposits are coal, iron and gold and thus far have been exploited rnostly by British subjects. The prin- cipal products are cocoanuts, bananas. indigo, coflFee, and rubber. Three porta do almost all the export and import trade, the coast affording but few har- bors. The capital is Louren^o Marques with a population app. 10,000. PORTUGUESE GUINEA, a possession of Portugal on the E. coast of Africa, with an area of about 14,000 miles and a population of about 800,000. Portuguese authority is respected only in the coast towns, the interior of the colony being largely unexplored. The coast affords several harbors, but because of strong currents navigation is dangerous. The climate is very hot and unhealthy. The commerce, which is controlled by the French, consists in the exporting of ivory, wax, and rubber, and the import- ing of manufactured goods. The forests contain a number of valuable woods, and the chief crops of the province are rice and millet. The capital is Bulama, situ- ated on the island of the same name. This town divides the commerce with Bissao and Cacheo. PORTULACA, purslane; the typical genus of the Portulacacege; low, succu- lent herbs with flat or cylindrical leaves, and yellow, purplish, or rose-colored ephemeral flowers. Known species be- tween 30 and 40; most of them from the warmer parts of America. P. oleracea is the common purslane. It is a low, succulent annual, often eaten by the Hin- dus as a potherb. P. quadrifida, also In- dian, is eaten and considered cooling by the natives. The fresh leaves of both species are used as an external applica- tion in erysipelas, etc., and an infusion of them as a diuretic. PORTULACACE^ or PORTULA- CEJE, purslanes; an order of hypo- gynous exogens, alliance Silenales. Suc- culent herbs or shrubs, generally with alternate, entire leaves; axillary or terminal flowers, which expand only in bright sunshine. Sepals two; petals five, distinct, or joined into a tube; stamens varying in number; carpels three or more; ovary and capsule one-celled, the latter dehiscing transversely, or by valves (Lindley).

It is one of the minerals sometimes called azure stone. LAPLACE (la-plasO, PIERRE SI- MON, MARQUIS DE, a renowned French mathematician and astronomer; born in Beaumont-en-Auge, France", March 28, 1749. He was Professor of Mathematics in the Military School ; min- ister of the interior for six weeks under Napoleon (1799); vice-president of the senate (1803); peer; marquis (1817). In his great work "Mechanism of the Heavens" (5 vols. 1799-1825), he attacks nearly every problem arising out of the movements of the heavenly bodies, and in great part offers the solution. His "Ex- position of the System of the Universe" (2 vols. 1796), is a less abstruse presen- tation of the arguments advanced in the "Mechanism." His famous researches into the laws of probability are summed up in the two works "Analytic Theory of Probabilities" (1812), and "Philo- sophical Essays on Probabilities" (1814). He died in Paris, March 5, 1827. LAPLAND, the collective name for the extensive region in the N. of Europe inhabited by the Lapps; bounded on the N. by the Arctic Ocean, on the N. W. by the Atlantic, on the E. by the White Sea, on the S., by the parallel, roughly speak- ing, lat. 66° N. (though Lapps are some- times found as far S. as lat. 63° N. in Norway and Sweden). It is estimated that the Lapps number 30,000, about four-fifths of their number being in Nor- way and Sweden and the remainder in Finland and Russia. Norwegian Lap- land is a mountainous country, its coasts cleft by the narrow, steep- walled fjords; in Swedish Lapland the most charac- teristic features are ridges with narrow valleys between, the latter generally partly filled with long, narrow lakes; farther E., in Finnish and Russian Lap- land, the surface is more level, the rivers and lakes become more numerous, and next the Arctic Ocean barren tundras, and many square miles are covered with forests of fir and spruce. Some of the lakes are of large size: Lake Enare or Inara, in Finnish Lapland, has an area of 1,147 square miles: Lake Imandra is !B5 miles long by 9 wide; and Lake Nuot, 85 miles long by 7 wide. The river Tana, which flows N. to the Arctic Sea, is the second longest river of Norway. The summer is short and comparatively hot, owing to the fact that the sun scarcely ever sinks below the horizon during the three months that summer lasts.

LA PLATA (la pla'ta), the capital of the Argentine province of Buenos Aires, founded in 1882, after Buenos Aires city had been made the federal capital. The only buildings of note are the handsome capitol and other offices of the government, an observatory, several chapels and a fine railway station; has scores of hotels, inns, and cafes; a col- lege, etc.; among the manufactories al- ready established is one of cotton and woolen tissues; a canal connects a har- bor which has been constructed at La Plata with a larger outer harbor at En- senada, on the La Plata river; pop. about 90,500. LA PLATA, RIO DE (re^o da), a wide estuary of South America, between Uruguay on the N. and the Argentine Republic on the S., through which the waters of the Parana and the Uruguay sweep down to the ocean; length about 200 miles. The N. shore is somewhat steep and lofty, but that along the prov- ince of Buenos Aires is low and flat. The estuary has no shelter from the tem- pestuous storms that come from the S. W.; and even the only good harbor, that at Montevideo, is open to the S. E. The affluents of the La Plata drain an area estimated at 1,600,000 square miles, and the outflow of the estuary is calculated at about 52,000,000 cubic feet per min- ute — a volume exceeded only by that of the Amazon. The estuary was discov- ered in 1515 or 1516 by Diaz de Solis, who was shortly afterward roasted and eaten by the Indians on its bank.

A man so gifted was warmly welcomed, and the repubUc thanked the Franciscan Gen- eral for the selection. I have already detailed how he fell into the same courses as his predecessor in cheating the papal camera, how he was prosecuted for this, and for what the republic officially denounced as "''estorsioni nefcmde''" committed on the people, and how, within two years after his appointment, he was a fugitive, not daring to stand trial. There is another phase of his activity, however, which is worth recounting in some detail, as it illustrates perfectly how useful an instrument was the Inquisition m carrying out the wishes of the Eoman curia in matters wholly disconnected with the purity of the faith.<ref>Wadding.

In charity to him we may assume, what doubtless was the truth, that the money belonged to the pope, although it stood in the cardinal's name on the books of his bankers, the great Floren-tine company of the Acciajuoli. In receiving it the members of the company had bound themselves jointly and severally for its repayment, agreeing to subject themselves to the judgment of the Court of Auditors of the Apostolic Chamber. In 1343 there was due the cardinal some twelve, thousand florins, which the Acciajuoli were unable to pay. A commercial and financial crisis had paralyzed the commerce and industries of the city. Its bankers had advanced vast sums to Edward III. of England and to Robert the Good of Naples, and clamored in vain for repayment. The Lombard war had exhausted the pubhc treasury and the whole community was bankrupt. Not only the Acciajuoli, but the Bardi, the Peruzzi, and other great banking-houses closed their doors, and ruin stared the Florentines in the face. There was at least one creditor, however, who was resolved to have his money.<ref>Archiv. di Firenze, Riformag.

In 1318 John XXII. commissioned the Dominican Peregrine of Oppolza and the Franciscan Nicholas of Cracow as inquisitors in the dioceses of Cracow and Breslau, while Bohemia and Poland were intrusted to the Dominican Colda and the Franciscan Hartmann. As usual, the secular and ecclesi- astical powers were commanded to afford them assistance when- ever called upon. Poland, doubtless, was as much in need as Bo- hemia of inquisitorial supervision, for John Muscata, the Bishop of Cracow, was as negligent as his brother of Prague, and drew upon himself in 1319 severe reprehension from John XXII. for the sloth and neglect which had rendered heresy bold and aggressive in his diocese. This does not seem to have accomplished much, for in 1327 John found himself obliged to order the Dominican Provin- cial of Poland to appoint inquisitors to stem the flood of heresy which was infecting the people from regions farther west. Ger- many and Bohemia apparently were sending missionaries, whose labors met with much acceptance among the people. King Ladis- las was especially asked to lend his aid to the inquisitors; he promptly responded by ordering the governors of his cities to support them with the civil power, and their vigorous action was rewarded with abundant success.<ref>Wadding. ann. 1818, No. 2-6.—Ripoll II. 138-9, 174-6.—Gustav Schmidt, Päbstliche Urkunden und Regesten, Halle, 1886, p. 105.—Raynald. ann. 1319, No. 43.</ref> Among these heretics there may have been Brethren of the Free Spirit, but they were probably for the most part Waldenses, who at this time had a thoroughly organized Church in Bohemia, whence emissaries were sent to Moravia, Saxony, Silesia, and Po- land. They regarded Lombardy as their headquarters, to which they sent their youth for instruction, together with moneys col- lected for the support of the parent Church. All this could not be concealed from the vigilance of the inquisitors appointed by John XXII. No doubt active measures of repression were carried out with little intermission, though chance has only preserved an in- dication of inquisitorial proceedings about the year 1330.

The well- known legend attributes to Jerome of Prague a leading part in this, and relates that the bulls were strung around the neck of a strumpet mounted on a cart, who solicited the favor of the mob with lascivious gestures. No punishment was inflicted on the participants, and Wok of Waldstein continued to enjoy the royal favor. The defiance of the pope was complete, and the temper of the people was shown on July 12, when in three several churches three young mechanics named Martin, John, and Stanislas, inter- rupted the preachers proclaiming the indulgences, and declared them to be a lie. They were arrested and beheaded in spite of Huss's intercession; many others were imprisoned, and some were exposed to torture. Then the people assumed a threatening as- pect; the three who had been executed were reverenced as mar- tyrs; tumults occurred, and the prisoners were released. Soon afterwards a Carmelite was begging at the doors of his church with an array of relics displayed upon a table, with the indulgences attached to them to excite the liberality of the pious. A dis- ciple of Huss denounced the affair as a fraud and kicked over the table, and when he was seized by the friars a band of armed men broke into the house and released him, not without bloodshed.<ref>Loserth, op. cit. p. 131.—Palacky Documenta, p. 640.-De Schweinitz, Hist. of the Unitas Fratrum, pp. 41-2.—Stephani Cartus.

The tedium of detention was only broken by a simple-looking Franciscan, who accosted Huss and asked for instruction on the subject of transubstantiation, and, on being satisfactorily answered, inquired about the union of humanity and divinity in Christ. Huss recognized that he was no simple inquirer, for he had asked the most difficult question in theology; he declined further colloquy, and on the retiring of the friar was informed by the guards that he was Master Didaco, renowned as the subtlest theologian of Lombardy. About nightfall John of Chlum was allowed to depart, while Huss was detained, and soon after Stephen and Michael came exultingly and told him that he was now in their power, and should not escape till he had paid the last penny. He was taken under guard to the house of the precentor of the cathedral, in charge of the Bishop of Lausanne, regent of the apostolic chamber, and after eight days was transferred to the Dominican convent on the Rhine. Here he was confined in a cell adjoining the latrines, where a fever soon caused his life to be despaired of. His sudden death would have been a most untoward event, and the pope sent his own physicians to restore him. It was in vain that his friends in Prague procured from Archbishop Conrad a declaration affirming that he had never found Huss to vary from the faith in a single word. His fate had already been virtually decided.<ref>Richentals Chronik p. 77.-Jo. Hus Monument.

This question as to the safe-conduct and its violation has been the subject of so warm a discussion, and it illustrates so completely a phase of the relations between the Church and heretics, that its brief consideration here is not out of place. The imperial safe-conduct issued to Huss was in the ordinary form, without limitation or condition. It was addressed to all the princes and subjects of the empire, ecclesiastical and secular, and to all nobles and magistrates and officials, informing them that Huss was taken into the protection of the king and of the empire, and ordering that he be permitted to pass, remain, and return without impediment, and that all help which he might require should be extended to him. Thus it was not a simple viaticum for protection during the journey from Bohemia, and it was not regarded by any one.

About 1270 Thomas Aquinas tells us that in some churches the bread only is given to the laity, as a matter of prudence, to avoid spilling, and his dialectics are equal to the task of proving that both body and blood are contained in the wafer (Summa III. lxxx. 12). The convenience of the innovation led to its extension, but it was left to the individual churches, and no authoritative decree was issued withdrawing the cup from the laity until the Bohemian controversy led to the action of the Council of Constance. How universal the custom had become without authority of law is shown by the special privilege granted, about 1345, by Clement VI. to John, Duke of Normandy, son of Philip of Valois, to receive both elements (Martene Ampl. Coll. I. 1456-7). When the question was exhaustively debated before the Council of Basle, the orator of the council, John of Ragusa, freely admitted that the Hussite practice was in accordance with the traditions of the Church, but argued that it could be changed if convenience or other reasons demanded it (Harduin. Concil. VIII. 1712, 1740); and the Cardinal of St. Peter told William, Baron of Kostka, the Bohemian chief, that the cup was refused to children and common people simply as a precaution, adding, "If you were to ask of me I would give it, but not to the careless" (Petri Zaticensis Liber Diurnus; Mon. Concil. Gen. Sæc. XV. T. I. p. 315). The final decision of the Council of Basle, in December, 1437, admits that there is no precept on the subject, but lay communion in one element is a laudable custom, the law of the Church, and not to be modified without authority (Conc. Basiliens. Sess. xxx.; Harduin. VIII. 1234). How thoroughly indefensible the Church felt its position to be, yet how arbitrarily and despotically it was resolved to enforce that position, is most clearly shown by the inquisitor Capistrano, in 1452, when he heard that the cardinal legate, Nicholas of Cusa, was thinking of giving Rokyzana a hearing on the subject at Ratisbon. Capistrano expressed his mind freely to the legate: "If we excuse the heretics we condemn ourselves. . . . I have always avoided a debate with the Bohemians under the ordinary rules, for they study to justify their heresy from the ancient Scriptures and observances, and they have a perfect knowledge of the texts, which certainly are numerous, in favor of communion in both elements." Capistrano then quotes to the legate the bulls of Nicholas V. sent to him, in which the Bohemians are denounced as schismatics, heretics, and disobedient to the Roman Church, pointedly adding that the disciple is not above the teacher, nor the servant superior to the master; he had never read in the law that heretics were to be rewarded, but were to be sharply punished with confiscation and the bitterest penalties (Wadding. Annal. ann. 1452, No. 12).

Disobedience was heresy, and Rome, for a century, endeavored to convulse Europe on this simple punctilio. An episode of this question was the communion of infants. This was the practice of the early Church (Cyprian. de Lapsis c. 25), and St. Innocent I. and St. Gelasius I. had both declared that as soon as infants were baptized the sacrament was necessary to secure them eternal life (Innocent PP. I. Epist. xxx. c. 5; Gelasii PP. I. Ep. VII.). The epistle of Paschal II., quoted above, shows that this was still customary in the twelfth century, but the same causes which led to the withdrawal of the cup from the laity induced the withholding of the sacrament from infants, who were liable at any moment unconsciously to commit sacrilege with the body and blood of Christ. In their enthusiasm for the Eucharist the Bohemians naturally recurred to infantile communion, and their obstinacy in this gave the fathers of Basle infinite trouble. After the reconciliation of 1436 the question still remained disputed. The feeling about it is well defined by the Bishop of Coutances, legate of the Council of Basle in Prague, who was horror-stricken when, April 28, 1437, Rokyzana administered communion to a number of infants, and one of them ejected the wafer from its mouth, forcing Rokyzana quietly to replace it. This incident was evidently regarded as the most convincing argument, and the terms in which it is alluded to show how profound was the terror which it was expected to create (Jo. de Turonis Regestrum; Monument. Conc. Gen. Sæc. XV. T. I. p. 863). At the Council of Constance it was gravely argued that if a layman allowed the wine to moisten his beard he ought to be burned with his beard (Von der Hardt III. 369). Gerson was not quite so absurd, but he did not shrink from alleging such reasons as the expensiveness of wine and its liability to turn sour (ib. 771 sqq.). In 1391, when John Malkaw, in preaching against the concubinary priesthood, hotly declared that he would rather place reverently on the ground a consecrated wafer than violate his vow of chastity, Böckeler, the Strassburg inquisitor, in trying him, made this the ground of a charge of heresy with respect to the sacrament of the altar (Haupt, Zeitschrift für Kirchengeschichte, 1883, pp. 366–7).{{pbri}} In older times the Church had felt no such exaggerated reverence for the elements.

II, c. 10 (1679). Sir Thomas Sandys— 22 & 23 Car. II, c. 1 (1682). Francis, Lord Bishop of Rochester— 9 Geo. I, c. 17 (1723). The first Act of Parli;iment by which banishment from the realm was recognised as a method of punishing offenders was passed in 1597,t for the purpose of dealing with the "rogues, Vtgranta. vagabonds, and sturdy beggars" who formed one of the great social troubles of the Tudor times. It enacted that " dangerous rogues, and such as will not be reformed of their roguish course of life, may lawfully, by the Justices in their Quarter Sessions, be banished out of the realm and all other the dominions thereof, into such parts beyond the seas as shall be for that purpose assigned Transport- by the Privy Council ; or otherwise be adjudged perpetually to the the gaUey. gallies of this realm." By the same statute every rogue so banished and returning without license was made guilty of felony, but within the benefit of clergy, t And for the better indemnifying the nation against such rogues so returning, it was also enacted that prior to their banishment they should be " thoroughly burned upon the left shoulder with a hot burning-iron of the breadth of BrandiDg. an English shilling, with a great Roman R upon the iron, for a perpetual mark upon such rogue duiing his or her life." But although this statute of Eli2abeth was the first by which banishment from the realm — afterwards known as transportation * Banishment as a judicial sentence prevailed in Scotland from the seven- teenth century. It was applied in ordinary cases as well as in political disturbances, and probably owed its origin to the difficulty of providing accommodation in the tolbooths. Banishment &om the Sovereign's " hail dominions fuith of Scotland," or from one district of Scotland to another, was a common sentence. . . The ordinary place of exile during the eighteenth century was " His Majesty's plantations in America." — ^Rogers, Social Life in Scotland, vol. i, p. 37. t 39 Eliz., c. 4. X By an ancient custom of the realm, men in holy orders when accused of any felony might claim the right of trial by compurgation before their fellow priests. If the claim was allowed, the accused was handed over to the Ordinary ; in other words, to the safe keeping of the Bishop of the diocese. Trial by compurgation meant nothing more than a solemn declaration of innocence, by the accused on oath taken in the presence of other priests ; Digitized by Google<noinclude></noinclude> g3j75qvvsf7ft7lrgqhbct2npjzvknu Page:History of India Vol 6.djvu/181 104 3223031 15134606 10228620 2025-06-14T21:53:11Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT 15134606 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="James500" /></noinclude>THE PORTUGUESE CONQUEST OF GOA 133 ministers could do to hold together the most important inland provinces of the Bijapur kingdom.

If he proved obstinate, a warrant for commitment from the Privy Council brought him to reason. No brother could speak above thrice on any matter " upon pain of forfeiture of 3s. 4:d. for every such excess in speech." The fine for interrupting another brother in his lawful discourse " by whispering speech or talk " was 2s. 6d., while " any uncivil or intemperate speeches or behaviour " were punished by a mulct of 10s. No brother could leave a meeting without permission before its close, under penalty of a shilling. Above all, " when Mr. Governor or his deputy commandeth silence by stroke of the hammer " let every one hold his peace " upon pain of forfeiture of sixpence." These fines, the pre- cautions of serious citizens for the orderly conduct of their business, were enforced by sending those who would not pay them to prison, " there to remain during the pleasure of the generality." The record for the equipment of each voyage may be reduced in most cases to four documents. In the first place, there was the Royal Commission of Queen Elizabeth authorizing the company to undertake the individual expedition, and vesting in its commanders powers for punishing offences during the voyage, and for the " quenching of all such mutiny, quarrels, or dissensions that shall or may " arise.

And of no less importance is it that reason most clearly sets forth that the Church instituted by Christ (as laid down in the Vatican Synod), on account of its wonderful spread, its marvellous sanctity, and its inexhaustible fecundity in all places, as well as of its Catholic unity and unshaken stability, is in itself a great and perpetual motive of belief and an irrefragable testimony of its own divine mission.<ref>Const. dogm. de Fid.

S BROSTERHOUS, Jan van, (Bbostebhust, or Brosterhuizen,) is the name of a landscape painter and engraver of the early part of the 18th centm'y. Little is known of his life, but he is said to have resided in the Netherlands. He etched in the style of Ruisdael, and his plates, of which six- teen are known, representing landscapes, villages, &c., are executed in a tasteful and pleasing man- ner. They are signed th. & B, ov a. B and an R interlaced. BROSTOLONI, Giovaxn'I Battista, an Italian engraver, was born at Venice about the year 1726. He is said to have been a pupil of Joseph Wagner. We have the following plates by him : Portrait of Pope Benedict XTV. ; an oval plate. A Vignette, vith the Portrait of Benedict XTV. St. Theresa in Adoration. A set of twenty Views in Venice ; after Canaletti. 1763. Another set of twelve large plates ; after the same, with the Ceremonies of the Election of the Doge, and his Marriage with the Adriatic. BROUCK, Moses Vtt den, (or Van Bbouck). See Uytenbrodck. BROUWER, Adbiaen, (or BRAtro'EB, or De Bradwere.) was bom about the year 1605, pro- bably at Gudenaerde. Haarlem is considered by some writers to be the place of his birth. As related by Houbraken and Descaraps, the life of Brouwer is a tale of opportunities wasted and talents misapplied, a tale of drunken bouts and times of poverty. But later researches have dis- covered sufficient to do more than throw doubts even on these statements ; and in his epitaph, pub lished by Do Bie, we read that he was ' a man of great mind, who rejected every splendour of the world, and who despised gain and riches.' His mother, a dressmaker at Haarlem, entrusted young Adriaen to the tender care of Hals, who, if report speak true, used him but ill. He made him work without ceasing, and starved him for his pains. Leaving Hals, Brouwer wandered to Amsterdam, where his talents soon met with the recognition they deserved. From Amsterdam he went to Antwerp, where he was thrown into prison as a spy. He was released through his own talents and the intercession of Rubens, who would have had him reside with him. But his biographers tell us that he considered Rubens's splendour little better than the Duke of Arenberg's prison. In 1631-32, Brouwer was received into the Guild of St. Luke at Antwerp, and in that year liia portrait was painted by Van Dyck ; in 1634-5 he was made a member of the society called ' The Violet.' He died at Antwerp in 1638, and was buried in the Church of the Carmelites. Genuine works by Brouwer are now rarely met with ; they were highly esteemed even in his own time. Rubens and Rembrandt both possessed several of them. Though resident for some time at Antwerp, he is essentially Dutch in character ; and almost without exception his pictures represent Dutch interiors, with peasants, drinking, smoking, and playing, and as often as not quarrelling ; and they are /^"^ especially esteemed for their colouring. X ^ The following are some of the principal : Amsterdam. Museum, A Village Kevel. BerUn Jluseum. The Toilet (engraved in the series of ' The fStten Sins ' as ' iS«- perbia ') ; doubled. Brussels.

"I could make this old freight car into the dearest little house, with beds, and chairs, and a table—and dishes—" "I'd like to live here, too," said a determined little voice from the corner, "but I don't want to, unless—" "Unless what?" asked Henry, panic-stricken.

CHAVARITO, UOMISGO, a Spanish historical painter, was bom in Granada in 1676, and there learned the rudiments of art from Josef Risueno. He afterwards went to Rome and studied under Benedetto Luti, but returned to his native city, and died there in 1750. His works, which are chiefly in the private houses of Granada, are good in colour and in composition. CHAZAL, AsTOiNE, a French painter of flowers and of portraits, as well as an engraver, was bora in Paris in 1793. He studied under Misbach, Bidauld, and Van Spaendonck, and became Pro- fessor of Iconography at the Jardin des Plantes. Besides portraits, flowers, and fruit, he painted a few landscapes and altar-pieces for churches. He also engraved a portrait of Cardinal La Fare. Chazal died in Paris in 1854. CHAZAL, Charles Camille, a French painter, and son of Antoine Cljazal, was born in Paris in 1825. He studied under Drolling and Picot, and entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in 1842. His ' Institution of the Eucharist,' p:iint. d in 1863, is in the church of St. Louis-en-l'Iie at Paris. He died in 1875. CHAZERAND, Claude Louis Alexandre, a French historical painter, was born at Besanjon in 1757. The Museum of his native city has some paintings and sketches by him which are not with- out merit. He died at Besan9on in 1795. CHEDEL, QuiNTiN Pierre, a French designer and engraver, was born at ChSlons-sur-Mame in 1705. He received his earliest instruction in the studio of Le Moine, but having chosen engraving as his profession, he after^vards became a pupil of Laurent Cars. His talent in designing and engrav- ing vignettes caused liim to be much employed by the booksellers of Paris. His plates are etched vilh great spirit, and sometimes finished ^-ith the graver in a style of unusual ability. He died at Paris in 1762. Among his numerous works the best known is the series of illustrations after Boucher to Duclos' romance, ' Acajou et Zirphile " ; the following are also deserving of notice : SUBJECTS from HIS OWN DESIGNS.

He worked both in stipple and in mezzotint. Among iiis best works are some portraits after Roraney, and 'The Lady's Last Stake' after Hogarth. He also exliibited water-colour drawings at the Academy. He died about 1820, the date of his last exliibition. CHELINI. PiERO, a painter of Florence, who in the loth century executed frescoes in the Bigallo of that city, consisting of scenes from the life of St. Peter Martyr, and representations of the reception of lost children (the purpose of that building) ; these he completed in 1444. A ' Burial of Christ ' in the belfry of San Remigio is also by him. CHENAVARD, AlMfi, a French decorative painter and draughtsman, was born at Lyons in 1798.

CHENOIS, Claude, a French historical painter, was a native of Lorraine, and flourished at Nancy in 1527. The Museum of that city possesses a picture by him which shows considerable talent. CHENU, AUGUSTIN Fleury, a French landscape painter, was bom at Lyons about 1835. He re- ceived his art education in the Academy of his native city, and became a successful painter of snow-scenes. He died in 1875. CHENU, Pierre, was a French engraver, born in Paris in 1718. He was a pupil of P. Le Bas, and engraved several portraits and other subjects, in a slight, agreeable style. Several of his engrav- ings were executed for the work on the Dresden Gallery. He likewise engraved some of Oudrj's designs for La Fontaine's Fables, and some plates after Eisen for the ' Christiade ' of the Abb6 de La Baume-Desdossat. He died about 1780.

CLENNELL, {{sc|Luke}}, an English painter, and engraver on wood, of extraordinary genius and talent, the son of a farmer, was born at Ulgham, near Morpeth, in Northumberland, in 1781. His early disposition for drawing, and neglect of other studies or pursuits, induced his friends to place him, in 1797, with the celebrated Bewick, in whose art he soon showed great skill. But he did not confine himself to engraving; he produced several pictures which attracted public attention, and gave promise of future excellence as a painter. Among these were the 'Arrival of the Mackerel Boat,' and the 'Day after the Fair,' in which he gave a happy delineation of rustic character, and showed great knowledge of colour. His picture of the 'Decisive Charge made by the Lifeguards at the Battle of Waterloo,' which was afterwards engraved by Bromley, established his reputation; but its excellence assisted in the melancholy termination of his existence. In consequence of the sensation which it produced, he was selected to paint the entertainment given by the city of London at the Guildhall to the allied sovereigns, nobles, and generals who had shared in that memorable battle. The honour was fatal to his health and life. The vexations he had to encounter from vanity, caprice, and supercilious arrogance, affected his mind so much that he lost his reason. This was in 1817, and though he recovered his reason partially for some years, yet the malady returned in 1831, and he was removed to an asylum at Newcastle-on-Tyne, where he died in 1840. Clennell was skilful in composition, and in seizing the true points of character; he had great power of execution, and was well acquainted with the practical parts of art. He engraved the cuts to [[Author:William Falconer (1732-1769)|Falconer's]] '[The Shipwreck (Falconer, 1762)|Shipwreck]],' and [[Author:Samuel Rogers|Rogers's]] 'Poems,' after Stothard, as well as the Diploma of the Highland Society after West. He made many drawings for [[Author:Walter Scott|Scott's]] 'Border Antiquities,' and was a frequent exhibitor at the Royal Academy and the Water-Colour Exhibition. The South Kensington Museum has three pictures by him. CLEOPHANTUS, an ancient Corinthian artist, who flourished about {{asc|B.C.}} 650, and is said to have been the first to fill up the contour of the figure with one colour, for which invention he received the name of 'Monocromatos.' CLERC, {{sc|Jean}} and {{sc|Sébastien le.}} See {{sc|Leclerc}}. CLERCK, {{sc|Hendrik de}}. See {{sc|De Clerck}}. CLERGET, {{sc|Adèle}}. See {{sc|Melling}}. CLÉRISSEAU, {{sc|Charles Louis}}, an architect and water-colour draughtsman, was born in Paris in 1722. He visited Rome, where he resided some time, and became well acquainted with the artists of that city, especially Winckelmann. He accompanied Robert Adams to England, where he remained some time, and made the drawings for the 'Ruins of Spalatro,' which was published in 1764. On his return to France in 1778, he published the 'Antiquites de France,' 'Monumens de Nimes,' and other works; and was appointed, in 1783, architect to the Empress of Russia. He is, however, best known to the world by his fine drawings in water-colours of the remains of ancient architecture, which are held in high estimation. An example, 'Tivoli,' executed in 1769, is in the South Kensington Museum. The figures in his works were drawn by Antonio Zucchi. He died at Auteuil, near Paris, in 1820, in his 99th year. CLERK, {{sc|John}}, of Eldin, an amateur draughtsman and etcher, was a son of Sir John Clerk, of Penicuik, Bart. He was born at Penicuik in 1728, and was for some years a merchant in Edinburgh, but he relinquished mercantile pursuits to become Secretary to the Commissioners on the Annexed Estates in Scotland. From an early period of his life he evinced a fondness for sketching from nature, and many of these sketches he afterwards etched on copper. In 1855 the Bannatyne Club issued a series of his etchings, chiefly views in Scotland, and some of his drawings were engraved for Sibbald's 'Edinburgh Magazine.' He was the father of Lord Eldin, one of the Lords of Session, and was the author of an essay on 'Naval Tactics,' which gave rise to much controversy. He died at Eldin in 1812. CLESIDES. See {{sc|Ctesicles}}. CLEVE, {{sc|Van}}. See {{sc|Cleef}}. CLEVELEY, {{sc|John}}, an English marine painter, was born in London about 1745. He was brought up in the dockyard at Deptford, and studied watercolour painting under Paul Sandby; afterwards, he became a draughtsman in the navy, and in 1774 accompanied Captain Phipps (afterwards Lord Mulgrave) in his voyage of discovery to the Arctic Regions. He also went with [[Author:Joseph Banks|Sir Joseph Banks]] to Iceland. He sometimes painted in oil, and was an exhibitor at the Royal Academy from 1770 till 1786. Many of his drawings have been engraved. In the South Kensington Museum is 'A Launch at Deptford Dockyard about 1760,' in oil, and three water-colour drawings by him. He died in London in 1786. CLEVELEY, {{sc|Robert}}, who in early life was a sailor, exhibited marine pictures at the Academy from 1780 to 1803, and was appointed marine-painter to the Prince of Wales. He frequently painted naval actions such as 'The "Solitaire" striking her colours to the "Ruby,{{" '}} 'Nelson boarding the San Josef,' and 'Earl Howe's 'Victory.' He died, through falling from the cliff at Dover, in 1809. In the South Kensington Museum are two water-colour drawings of English Ships of War. CLEVENBERGH, {{sc|Antoine}}, a Flemish painter of still-life, was born at Louvain in 1755. He studied historical painting under Verhaeghen, and made large pen-and-ink drawings, which possess much merit. He died in 1810. CLEYN, {{sc|Franz}}, (also {{sc|Kleyn}}, or {{sc|Clein}},) was born at Rostock, in Mecklenburg-Schwerin, about 1590 or 1600, and was for some time in the employment of Christian&nbsp;IV., King of Denmark. He afterwards went for improvement to Rome, where he passed four years, and acquired a talent for designing ornaments, by which he afterwards distinguished himself. He came to England in the reign of James&nbsp;I., and was taken into the service of the king, who first employed him in designing subjects for tapestry at the Mortlake manufactory. He received a pension from the king, which he continued to enjoy under Charles&nbsp;I., until the Civil War. He died in London in 1658. Cleyn was much employed in decorating the mansions of the nobility. Some of the best preserved of his works are in Holland House, where he painted a chamber, with a ceiling, and small compartments on the chimneys, which bear some resemblance to<noinclude>{{c|302 }}</noinclude> 0ejee6gf9k0ahvt118kpvdz3idr8ss8 Page:The Portrait of a Lady (1882).djvu/350 104 3589179 15134654 11126477 2025-06-14T21:56:29Z BD2412 1511 /* top */ Common scannos., replaced: POBT → PORT 15134654 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Ineuw" />{{rh|342|THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY.|342}}</noinclude>342 THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY. matter as a person whose present happiness had nothing to grudge to Henrietta's violated conscience. Osmond thought their alliance a kind of monstrosity ; he couldn't imagine what they had in common. For him, Mr. Bantling's fellow-tourist was simply the most vulgar of women, and he also pronounced her the most abandoned. Against" this latter clause of the verdict Isabel protested with an ardour which made him wonder afresh at the oddity of some of his wife's tastes. Isabel could explain it only by saying that she liked to know people who were as different as possible from herself. " Why then don't you make the acquaintance of your washerwoman 1 " Osmond had inquired ; to which Isabel answered that she was afraid her washerwoman wouldn't care for her. Now Henrietta cared so much. Ralph saw nothing of her for the greater part of the two years that followed her marriage ; the winter that formed the beginning of her residence in Eome he spent again at San Remo, where he was joined in the spring by his mother, who afterwards went with him to England, to see what they were doing at the bank an operation she could not induce him to perform. Ralph had taken a lease of his house at San Remo, a small villa, which he occupied still another winter ; but late in the month of April of this second year he came down to Rome. It was the first time since her marriage that he had stood face to face with Isabel 1 ; his desire to see her again was of the keenest. She had written to him from time to time, but her letters told him nothing that he wanted to know. He had asked his mother what she was making of her life, and his mother had simply answered that she supposed she was making the best of it. Mrs. Touchett had not the imagination that communes with the unseen, and she now pretended to no intimacy with her niece, whom she rarely encountered. This young woman appeared to be living in a sufficiently honourable way, but Mrs. Touchett still remained of the opinion that her marriage was a shabby affair. It gave her no pleasure to think of Isabel's establishment, which she was sure was a very lame business. From time to time, in Florence, she rubbed against the Countess Gemini, doing her best, always, to minimise the contact ; and the Countess reminded her of Osmond, who made her think of Isabel. The Countess was less talked about in these days ; but Mrs. Touchett augured no good of that ; it only proved how she had been talked about before. There was a more direct suggestion of Isabel in the person of Madame Merle ; but Madame Merle's relations with Mrs. Touchett had undergone a perceptible change. Isabel's aunt<noinclude>{{smallrefs}}</noinclude> 9bk6xh2pzt9xzsni390tx3azmyk44ut Index:Chaucer - Complete works (Skeat Volume 3).djvu 106 3596233 15136177 15104438 2025-06-15T02:05:35Z Junglk 3050930 Adding template 15136177 proofread-index text/x-wiki {{:MediaWiki:Proofreadpage_index_template |Type=book |Title=''[[The Complete Works of Geoffrey Chaucer]]'' |Language=en |Volume=[[The Complete Works of Geoffrey Chaucer/Volume 3|Volume III]] |Author=[[Author:Geoffrey Chaucer|Geoffrey Chaucer]] |Translator= |Editor=[[Author:Walter William Skeat (1835-1912)|Walter W.

At Nefish, in the same district, the road and the Freshwater Canal running to Suez turn towards the south-east, whilst another branch of the canal takes a north- easterly direction to the new city of hmailia, on the shores of Lake Tiinsah. While the great canal was in progress Ismailia enjoyed great imix>rtance as a chief centre of the supplies for the hands engaged on the works. But at present it is far too extensive for its reduced population. Its open spaces are deserted, and its streets, fringed by shady trees and skirted hero and there by gardens and shrubberies, resemble the avenues of a jmrk more than the thoroughfares of a commercial town. Nevertheless, Ismailia might again become inhabited, were the stream brought by the Freshwater Canal made more generally available for the irrigation of the oasia already reclaimed from the surrounding desert. Nor is this artery much used for navigation, although it has a normal depth of 10 feet and a width of about 180 feet, sufficient to give access to vessels of 400 tons burden. Some traffic, however, is carried on by means of the Suez Canal, and the port and open waters of the lake are often crowdetl with large vessels riding at anchor in these inland waters. Exclusive of the transit trade, the movement of the port of Ismailia amounted, in 1882, to over two hundred and seventy steamers, with a gross tonnage of nearly 600,000 tons. Along the line of the canal from Ismailia to Port Said the only station deserv- ing the title of village is El-Knntara, or " the Bridge," so named from a small structure of this sort which here fonnerly crossed a channel flowing between I^kes Ballah and Menzaleh. Standing on an isthmus between inundated tracts, El- Eantara formed an indispensable station for all caravans along the main highway between Asia and Africa. This station is even still annually use<l by several thousand camels, which are watered at the great reservoirs that the Company has here constructed near the banks of the canal. In Lake Ballah, to the west of El-Kantara, a large " gare," or shunting station, is to be formed for the conve- nience of steamers using the canal. Port Said. Port Said, which, like Ismailia, is a new town, but full of life and bright pro8|x»cts, thanks to the constantly increasing navigation of the great marine high- way, has been founded on the narrow strip of sand seiwiratiug Lake Menzaleh from the Mediterranean.

It would be a mistake to suppose that all ushers are liable to receive such treatment, or to imagine that French boys lack sentiments of courtesy and kindness. The fault is with the system and not with the boys, for often they delight to honor a respected teacher. Costly presents in the way of books are sometimes given to a favorite instructor at Christmas or New Year's, and presented with very pretty ceremony, offered by a spokesman in the presence of the roomful of students. The professors are feared for the examinations which they give once a week, the result of which is announced every Monday morning in the presence of the president and vice-president; they are also respected for their great learning and for their impartiality towards the students. Most of the men who have taught in the French lycees belong to the learned aristocracy of the country, and some of them have been leaders of French thought in their day. The great Guizot, historian; Taine, author of "The History of English Literature;" Edmond About, novelist; Jules Simon, scholar and statesman; Gaston Boissier, the Latinist; Victor Duruy, historian; Lavisse, of the French Academy; Francisque Sarcey, great journalist and critic, of Paris; M. Hanotaux, late minister of foreign affairs — these have all been lycee professors. Such eminent educators have turned out eminent pupils in all the walks and avocations of life. Poets such as Cassimir Delavinne and Alfred de Musset; playwrights, such as Augier and Sardou; great engineers, like Ferdinand de Lesseps; academicians and journalists, physicists and scientists, and scores of eminent men, in art, science and literature. French college boys lack neither patriotism nor honor. They were as ready to quit the halls of learning and fly to their country's aid in 1870 as were the American college students in 1861 and 1898, and those who were too young for the field nobly did their duty in a way not less acceptable. For, after the great and bloody struggle with Prussia, France was left in a dilemma — two provinces gone and five billions of francs to be paid before the German troops would withdraw from her territory. At this juncture Thiers appealed to France for a loan, and France responded nobly. The youth were not asked— they volunteered their aid. We college boys refused to accept the prizes which are annually distributed before vacation-time, and begged that the amount to be given be turned over to the government. We did more; out of our little monthly allowances we pledged a certain amount until the war indemnity should be fully satisfied. About half the pocket-money we secured from home for self-gratification we turned over monthly to our appointed treasurer — we pledged to him our honor to be prompt in remitting; and I do not recall a single instance where the pledge-money was not promptly paid in. It was an impressive sight when the treasurer went his monthly round in the classroom, collecting the dues of professors and students. The silence was deep — all were intently thinking of our misfortunes and how we might retrieve what was lost. Self-abnegation rose to a high pitch. We were being schooled in self-mastery. May I not say it has borne its fruits and that they are visible to the eye of any student of contemporary France? A joyous day it was when we read in the papers that the last penny had been paid and the last German soldier had gone home. The share of the debt that the college boys assumed was voluntary — no forced collection of it could have been made — it was a debt of honor. French college boys have their failings, but whatever their faults may be, they are not lacking in sense of honor. {{c|(To be continued.)}} {{c|DEMOCRACY.}} {{block center|<poem>Come, I will make the continent indissoluble, I will make the most splendid race thy sun ever shone upon, I will make divine magnetic lands, With the love of comrades, With the life-long love of comrades. </poem> {{right|—Walt Whitman. }}}}<noinclude></noinclude> lxzc7taofqszhs0o0ilsdlnus7k5auv Wikisource:Community collaboration/Monthly Challenge/Not completed 4 3709936 15134163 14862475 2025-06-14T17:13:52Z ToxicPea 3146019 /* April 2022 */ 15134163 wikitext text/x-wiki {{process header | title = Monthly Challenge | section = Works not completed | previous = [[../Nominations]] | next = | shortcut = | notes = This is a list of works that did not see completion to at least "Proofread" status in the 3 months they were in the Monthly Challenge. }} The monthly challenge contains many thousands of pages and it's not expected to complete every work, due to limited editor time and varying interests in subject areas.

Note that this changes the header from three lines to two, e.g. [[Men without Women/The Killers]]. If you preferred the former, feel free to revert my change, if not, I can adjust the rest of the transclusion to match; I just generally prefer headers that aren't so large. Regards, [[User:TeysaKarlov|TeysaKarlov]] ([[User talk:TeysaKarlov|talk]]) 19:14, 23 February 2023 (UTC) :@[[User:TeysaKarlov|TeysaKarlov]] - thanks. I was aware of the redirects (though I don't know if I had realised there is one for Hemingway). I see what you mean about the header - why does it do that ?

The w/W was because I followed the style used for the index and source pages. I think that official wikisource policy would prefer "Men without women" - both lower case w. But I think as you have it looks better. Sorry about that. :On creating the main page, I am not sure that I feel confident enough to create those - especially when there wasn't even an index. The page would have been mostly red links. -- [[User:Beardo|Beardo]] ([[User talk:Beardo#top|talk]]) 16:44, 9 March 2023 (UTC) ::@[[User:Beardo|Beardo]] I agree that the naming conventions can be confusing, and am rarely confident with naming myself, but I am fairly sure that the main page for a work is title case ([[Wikisource_talk:Naming_conventions]]). Also, even if you just transclude a single page (without a TOC or whatever else), and use the work incomplete tag, I would still recommend creating the main page first. Then you can check all the links on the subpages work, and that they are subpages of the intended main page. But maybe that is just me.

I'm pretty excited for the serialized version of Maltese Falcon to be public domain next year. I've reached out to the California Archives since they have [https://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/kt400034d3/dsc/#aspace_ref52_nx7 a large collection of the magazines] to see if they could digitize any of them. As well as to the University of Louisville who has some from [https://archivescatalog.library.louisville.edu/repositories/2/top_containers/13895 1928 and 1929]. And I found a cover from [[:File:The Black Mask, July 1 1923 cover.tif|1923]] that I uploaded as well.

I haven't been doing much proofreading recently, but will try to get back to finish off the Christie. :Hammett - yes. He was one of the first that I looked at when I started here. I was disappointed how little of his there is here. I wasn't aware about The Maltese Falcon - though I note that the last part appeared in the January 1930 issue - I don't know if that means that we will have to wait until the following year to finish.

I'd be glad to do the work, but need help with what the process would look like. And then it would help me learn. You have always been so kind and I appreciate it! I want to help out here by getting another Hammett tale on. Since next year the 1930 book will be comparable to the earlier iteration of the story.

If you feel like something's off or not done right, feel free to just edit a work up for deletion / copyright discussion yourself. You can fix what's broken if you notice it. It doesn't add any value to discussions to remind someone else to do it, so please try to refrain from the reminders. (If it helps, a maintenance bot could be built to find instances of "page up for deletion, no deletion tag" because this is very commonly overlooked, so a discussion about that might be worth it?)

I was wondering if you could help me with something! I'd love to read the serialized version of The Maltese Falcon which I just uploaded to Commons. Is there some way in which I can translate that to usable in Wikisource? It isn't a scan of a text, but an already typed transcription pdf. I'd be glad to do the work, but need help with what the process would look like. And then it would help me learn. You have always been so kind and I appreciate it! I want to help out here by getting another Hammett tale on. Since next year the 1930 book will be comparable to the earlier iteration of the story. Best, [[User:SDudley|SDudley]] ([[User talk:SDudley|talk]]) 00:16, 21 March 2025 (UTC) == "You have to mark the page with the delete/cv template" == I've seen you say this a lot in deletion discussions. If you feel like something's off or not done right, feel free to just edit a work up for deletion / copyright discussion yourself. You can fix what's broken if you notice it. It doesn't add any value to discussions to remind someone else to do it, so please try to refrain from the reminders. (If it helps, a maintenance bot could be built to find instances of "page up for deletion, no deletion tag" because this is very commonly overlooked, so a discussion about that might be worth it?) [[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] ([[User talk:SnowyCinema|talk]]) 22:17, 7 April 2025 (UTC) :(Talk page stalker: I would say that, though it would save time for the signaling user to fix the issue themselves, the reminders ''are'' useful, because it augments probability that the user who forgot'll remember next time. Plus, you never know, some new users may just not have read the notes at the top of the page, and not know at all they're supposed to tag, until someone tells them. :Making a bot do this seems like a good idea, and as a bot operator I'll look into it. I think it would work only for single nominations (where the title is like {{code|1=== [[Nominated page]] ==}}), as else it can't really figure what links in the nom are nominated pages, but still, the bulk of nominations are single.) — [[User:Alien333|Alien]] [[User talk:Alien333|<b style="display:inline-block;line-height:100%;font-size:60%;background-image:linear-gradient(90deg,#007,#077,#070);background-clip:text;color:transparent">&ensp;3<br/>3 3</b>]] 08:26, 8 April 2025 (UTC) ::@[[User:SnowyCinema|SnowyCinema]] - I prefer not to add those tags to pages if I am not convinced that the pages warrant deletion.

I wasn't sure what to say. I think that the two are different situations - for one thing, Red Harvest had been fully proofread and transcluded before that other user changed the pagelist. However, looking back, it seems that I created the pagelist for The Dain Curse whilst another user had changed that for Red Harvest, removing the ToC labels, which I prefer. (I found the Contents-1 and Contents-2 ungainly.) I think that I am happy to leave The Dain Curse as it is. -- [[User:Beardo|Beardo]] ([[User talk:Beardo#top|talk]]) 22:13, 7 June 2025 (UTC) ::I don't think I changed much with The Dain Curse, as I rarely change around the formatting of indexes very much once someone else has started them.

After this we made the conventional circuit of the pyramid plateau, examining the Second Pyramid and the peculiar ruins of its mortuary chapel to the east, the Third Pyramid and its miniature southern satellites and ruined eastern chapel, the rock tombs and honeycombings of the fourth and fifth dynasties, and the famous Campbell's Tomb whose shadowy shaft sinks precipitously for fifty-three feet to a sinister sarcophagus which one of our camel-drivers divested of the cumbering sand after a vertiginous descent by rope. Cries now assailed us from the Great Pyramid, where Bedouins were besieging a party of tourists with offers of guidance to the top, or of displays of speed in the performance of solitary trips up and down. Seven minutes, is said to be the record for such an ascent and descent, but many lusty sheiks and sons of sheiks assured us they could cut it to five if given the requisite impetus of liberal ''baksheesh''. They did not get this impetus, though we did let Abdul take us up, thus obtaining a view of unprecedented magnificence which included not only remote ond glittering Cairo with its crowned Citadel and background of gold-violet hills, but all the pyramids of the Memphian district, as well, from Abu Roash on the north to the Dashur on the south. The Sakkara step-pyramid, which marks the evolution of the low ''mastaba'' into the true pyramid, showed clearly and alluringly in the sandy distance. It is close to this transition-monument that the famed Tomb of Perneb was found—more than four hundred miles north of the Theban rock valley where Tut-Ankh-Amen sleeps. Again I was forced to silence through sheer awe. The prospect of such antiquity, and the secrets each hoary monument seemed to hold and brood over, filled me with a reverence and sense of immensity nothing else ever gave me. Fatigued by our climb, and disgusted with the importunate Bedouins whose actions seemed to defy every rule of taste, we omitted the arduous detail of entering the cramped interior passages of any of the pyramids, though we saw several of the hardiest tourists preparing for the suffocating crawl through Cheops' mightiest memorial. As we dismissed and overpaid our local bodyguard and drove back to Cairo with Abdul Reis under the afternoon sun, we half regretted the omission we had made. Such fascinating things were whispered about lower pyramid passages not in the guide books; passages whose entrances had been hastily blocked up and concealed by certain uncommunicative archaeologists who had found and begun to explore them. Of course, this whispering was largely baseless on the face of it; but it was curious to reflect how persistently visitors were forbidden to enter the Pyramids at night, or to visit the lowest burrows and crypt of the Great Pyramid. Perhaps in the latter case it was the psychological effect which was feared—the effect on the visitor of feeling himself huddled down beneath a gigantic world of solid masonry; joined to the life he has known by the merest tube, in which he may only crawl, and which any accident or evil design might block. The whole subject seemed so weird and alluring that we resolved to pay the pyramid plateau another visit at the earliest possible opportunity. For me this opportunity came much earlier than I expected. That evening the members of our party feeling somewhat tired after the strenuous programme of the day, I went alone with Abdul Reis for a walk through the picturesque Arab quarter. Though I had seen it by day, I wished to study the alleys and bazaars in the dusk, when rich shadows and mellow gleams of light would add to their glamour and fantastic illusion. The native crowds were thinning, but were still very noisy and numerous when we came upon a knot of reveling Bedouins in the Suk-en-Nahhasin, or bazaar of the copper-smiths. Their apparent leader, an insolent youth with heavy features and saucily cocked tarbush, took some notice of us; and evidently recognized with no great friendliness my competent but admittedly supercilious and sneeringly disposed guide. Perhaps, I thought, he resented that odd reproduction of the Sphinx's half smile which I had often remarked with amused irritation; or perhaps he did not like the hollow and sepulchral resonance of Abdul's voice. At any rate, the exchange of ancestrally opprobrious language became very brisk; and before long Ali Ziz, as I heard the stranger called when called by no worse name, began to pull violently at Abdul's robe, an action quickly reciprocated, and leading to a spirited scuffle in which both combatants lost their sacredly cherished headgear and would have reached an even direr condition had I not intervened and separated them by main force. My interference, at first seemingly unwelcome on both sides, succeeded at last in effecting a truce. Sullenly each belligerent composed his wrath and his attire; and with an assumption of dignity as profound as it was sudden, the two formed a curious pact of honour which I soon learned is a custom of great antiquity in Cairo—a pact for the settlement of their difference by means of n nocturnal fist fight atop the Great Pyramid, long after the departure of the last moonlight sightseer. Each duellist was to assemble a party of seconds, and the affair was to begin at midnight, proceeding by rounds in the most civilized possible fashion. In all this planning there was much which excited my interest. The fight itself promised to be unique and spectacular, while the thought of the scene on that hoary pile overlooking the antediluvian plateau of Gizeh under the wan moon of the pallid small hours appealed to every fiber of imagination in me. A request found Abdul exceedingly willing to admit me to his party of seconds; so that all the rest of the early evening I accompanied him to various dens in the most lawless regions of the town—mostly northeast of the Ezbekiyeh—where he gathered one by one a select and formidable band of congenial cutthroats as his pugilistic background. Shortly after nine our party, mounted on donkeys bearing such royal or tourist-reminiscent names as "Rameses," "Mark Twain," "J. P. Morgan," and "Minnehaha," edged through street labyrinths both Oriental and Occidental, crossed the muddy and mast-forested Nile by the bridge of the bronze lions, and cantered philosophically between the lebbakhs on the road to Gizeh. Slightly over two hours were consumed by the trip, toward the end of which we passed the last of the returning tourists, saluted the last in-bound trolley-car, and were alone with the night and the past and the spectral moon. Then we saw the vast pyramids at the end of the avenue, ghoulish with a dim atavistical menace which I had not seemed to notice in the daytime. Even the smallest of them held a hint of the ghastly—for was it not in this that they had buried Queen Nitocris alive in the Sixth Dynasty; subtle Queen Nitocris, who once invited all her enemies to a feast in a temple below the Nile, and drowned them by opening the water-gates? I recalled that the Arabs whisper things about Nitocris, and shun the Third Pyramid at certain phases of the moon.

But a much stronger impulse was given in this direction by our rebellion, in raising the price of cotton and stimulating its culture over a vast extent of territory. These roads are all built and worked by companies, but the government guarantees a five per cent. dividend to the stockholders, and exercises a general control over the management. It was at first supposed that the natives would not ride in carriages where they would lose caste by touching an inferior; but happily this proved to be a mistake, and the principal income from passenger traffic is derived from the natives, who travel third and fourth class, at from a third to half a cent per mile. The great moral effect of railways upon India in weakening the ties of caste is perhaps of even more importance than the wonderful development of the country, in stimulating the production of the great staples by providing an easy and rapid transportation to the seaboard. The Indian railways, like everything else English, are well and substantially built. Owing to the scarcity of wood and to the destructiveness of the white ants, iron takes its place almost everywhere. The station houses are all of stone or brick, with corrugated iron roofs; the ties and sleepers, all the bridges, and even the telegraph poles, are of iron. When it is considered that the engines and cars, as well as every pound of iron used in the construction and equipment of these 6,000 miles of road has been brought out from England, it will be understood how immensely expensive these railways have been. In the management everything is English, with only such modifications as are absolutely necessary in this climate. Here as in England the word “car” is unknown— we ride In “carriages” or “wagons,” and the gentlemanly “conductor” is transformed into a “guard,” who wears the uniform, buttons and badge of the railway. As in Europe the carriages are divided into compartments holding eight persons, with doors opening on both sides to the platform, which are locked by the guard before the train starts. Freight cars are here termed “goods vans"—every employee, from the General Superintendent down to the coolie, is spoken of as a “servant” of the company.<noinclude></noinclude> 3aphqh81w7me0tubtysl9grr583k2di Page:"Round the world." - Letters from Japan, China, India, and Egypt (IA roundworldletter00fogg 0).pdf/176 104 4201386 15133953 13159721 2025-06-14T14:04:21Z Somepinkdude 3173880 /* Proofread */ Proofread with italics 15133953 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Somepinkdude" />{{c|144}}</noinclude>The first and second class are alike, excapt that one is ''cushioned'' and the other ''caned''. The latter is just half the price, but quite as comfattable in hot weather. The carriages are stronger, larger and loftier than the English model, and are protected from the sun by a double roof, the upper one a few inches above the lower and projecting slightly on either side. Every window, in addition to glasses, has Venetian blinds, and frequently sun-shades beside, and ventilation is especially provided for. But what avail double roof, Venetian blind or sun-shade against the terrible heat of an Indian summer? Then the carriages became like furnaces seven times heated. The very seat is hot to the touch, and you are afraid to lean back lest your coat stick to the varnished panel. If no ladies are present you relapse into the free-and-easy, take off the boots from your swollen feet, denude yourself of coat and vest, hang your soaked collar up to dry, elevate your feet, if possible, to the level of your nose, light a cheroot, and dreamily subside into a patient endurance of the miseries of the situation. Everywhere else but in the East a servant is considered a luxury to be indulged in only by those who can travel regardless of expense; but here it seems an indispensable requisite to comfort. A first-class ticket on railways, steamers and hotels includes the fare of a native servent, and one can enjoy the luxury of being called “Sahib” by his own “boy” at a very trifling draft on his purse. {{right|W.

Rice, tobacco, castor oil-beans, and poppies are the principal crops. The poppy is cultivated under the immediate supervision of the Government authorities, who take the crop at a fixed price and manufacture it into opium. This monopoly yields a yearly income to the Indian Government of ''seven million pounds sterling''. The horizon is fringed with palms, and over {{SIC|there|there in}} broad prairies the mango trees are scattered like the oaks in an English park. An occasional glimpse of the Ganges calls up no enthusiasm. It is now the dry season and the Sacred River is very low, with broad, sandy banks. The current is as rapid as the Missouri, and the water of the same dingy, yellow color. The railway is fenced with cactus hedged and its showy yellow blossoms form a bright feature in the land- scape. The natives have very little idea of time-tables and departure hours. They walk down to the stations and there sit on the platforms smoking their ''hookahs'', waiting patiently for the train to arrive whether it is one hour or ten. But when they hear the train coming they {{SIC|loose|lose}} all self-control and rush like a flock of sheep crowding and jamming, with an uproar that sounds like a Babel of tongues, towerds the pens provided for them, as if for dear life, where they are stowed away like tightly-packed herrings.

For the convenience of this class of travelers, from whom the chief income of the company is derived, the stations are very close together, and as the trains stop at every station the rate of speed rarely exceeds twenty miles an hour. Nearly all the railway employees are natives, and the ticket clerks and book-keepers are usually half-castes, who speak English as well as Hindoostanic.

He wrote his name in a {{SIC|Sanscrit|Sanskrit}} book which he gave me as “Shiva Dotta, Pundit.” He laughed at the superstition of his countrymen and professed to disbelieve in Brahma and in his namesake Shiva, but I could not make out that in objuring Paganism he had embraced Christianity. Like many {{SIC|Hindoos|Hindus}} who have been educated above the religion of their ancestors he was skeptical, and had no religion or theology of any kind to speak of. This city has been over a century under the rule of the English, but it has changed less than any other large place in India. The most intense bigotry and superstition rules everywhere supreme. The inhabitants are almost exclusively {{SIC|Hindoos|Hindus}} who support {{SIC|hundred|hundreds}} of temples, while the {{SIC|Mohamedans|Muslims}} have but one great Mosque whose stately minarets mark the triumph of the crescent over the object and superstitous Hindoos. As we rode through the suburbs we passed hundreds of women stepping gracefully along, bearing water jugs on their heads, while many others were crowded around the well waiting their turn to dip the bright copper cans holding about a quart, which every Hindoo carries, into the water to fill their jugs. They kept up a continual clatter like so many magpies, shouting and gesticulating in the most excited manner. A true Hindoo when not asleep, is always talking or playing on the tom tom. The great sight in Benares is the river front, which is lined with palaces, temples, and ghants for two miles, and where the Hindoo pilgrims come from all over India to wash in the sacred river. A drive of half an hour brought us to the Ganges at the upper end of the city. On the way we stopped to see the famous “Monkey Temple,” where swarms of huge, fat-paunched, yellow-headed holy monkeys fill the enclosure, hang from roofs, are strung along every beam, and grin at you from all sides.

The ''Ghants', or stone steps rise eighty feet from the water, and are crowned with splendid palaces of cut stone, four and five stories in height, with carved saracenic arches over the door-ways and windows. Facing the east the early morning sun gave a splendid architectural effect to this river front; which Bayard Taylor says, “cannot be paralleled or surpassed by any similar scene in India, or in the world.” Many of these buildings are the palaces of wealthy Hindoo princes who make periodical visits to Benares to purge themselves from sins contracted in less holy habita- tions.

Thick, black smoke rose to the clear blue sky from bonfires between the Ghants on the bank, where the bodies of the dead are being consumed, after which the ashes would be thrown into the river to float straight to paradise. But the most horrible sights were the dead bodies, some of them partially consumed, which we saw floating around in the river. Along the bank in other places, were lines of prostrate sick people, brought to the sacred Ganges to die, or perhaps to be murdered by suffocation with sacred mud by impatient heirs, which is said to be not an unusual occurrence. No where in the world unless in Central Africa, can be seen such besotted superstition and idolatry coupled with such intolerant fanaticism as in Benares. We land near a large stone building of tasteful architceture, bat somewhat decayed, called the observatory of ''Jai-Singh'', founded in 1680. Upon the fist roof are peveral charts of the heavens on stone, ard a mural quadrant for taking the son’s altitude. In old tines a posse of astrologers was maintained here to observe and record the motion of the sun, moon and planets. From here we drove to the ''Great Mosque'' ''of Aurremzebe'' of ''Vishnu'', which he demolished, to signalize the triumph of Islam over Brahminism. The foundation is eighty feet above the river, upon which is built the mosque, with high arched dome and two slender minare, each one hundred and forty-seven feet in height. Their diameter at the base is only eight and one-fourth feet, de- creasing to seven and one-half feet at the top. Though so tall and slender they have an interior staircase of one hundred and thirty steps. Our ascent was not devoid of risk, for each is said to lean fifteen inches from the perpendicular. But the river from the summit was superb, and well repaid the trouble and fatigue of the climb. At our feet, for miles around, was stretched the crowded city, with its gaudily-painted buildings heaped together in tangled confusion, while the streets were so narrow and crooked as hardly to be distinguished in the mess.

Although women of the common class can be seen anywhere in the street, all ladies of high rank are kept in the strictest seclusion. These were richly dressed and seemed quite pretty; but perhaps it was the "distance that lent enchantment to the view.” While I was watching them through my opera-glass they caught sight of me, and looked up through their {{SIC|hand|hands}} in imitation of my glass, with a curiosity greater perhaps than my own—or I presume they had never before seen the face of a Frank. But suddenly an old grey-headed fellow (he might be husband or father) appeared on the scene, glanced up at me, and drove the ladies, with threatening gestures, into the house. I hope my innocent curiosity was not the cause of trouble in the family. Descending from our lofty view-point to the busy hive below we slowly threaded our way out of the labyrinth to the wider street, where our gharry was waiting, stopping at a toy-shop to buy some curiously painted and varnished toys which are a specialty of Benares manufacture, the peculiarity of which is that the bright-colored pigment is not removable by use. Later in the day, under the guidance of “Shiva Dotta,’” I went to visit the famous “Golden Pagoda,” dedicated to the god Shiva. It is situated in the most crowded part of the city and only accessible on foot. From the roof rise three irregular spires and domes, covered with sheet copper gilt, presenting the appearence in the sun of glittering masses of burnished gold. The throng around the temple was so dense that it was only after a fearful amount of pushing and crowding through an excited throng of both sexes and all ages that we could penetrate the vestibule. The “holy of holies” none were permitted to enter but the priests and privileged worshippers. Around us in the doorway was a frantic crowd shouting, streaming and howling in their eagerness to gaina sight of the holy chamber. Not being permitted to advance, the pushing and crowding behind us of {{SIC|hese|these}}, who seemed frantic with religious frenzy, nearly took us off our feet. Within the sacred inclosure before the ''lingam'', or emblem of worship, was a marble basin into which the priests were throwing yellow flowers, and those permitted to enter were pouring from their brass utensils the<noinclude></noinclude> tsndmt489kpl2xg6gojf9jq7yijvfyr Page:"Round the world." - Letters from Japan, China, India, and Egypt (IA roundworldletter00fogg 0).pdf/188 104 4201395 15135968 14438853 2025-06-14T23:05:17Z Somepinkdude 3173880 /* Proofread */ Proofread and additon of italics and SIC tags 15135968 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Somepinkdude" />{{c|154}}</noinclude>holy water thay had brought from the Ganges. After dipping the flowers, which seemed to me like yellow marigolds, into the fountain the priests threw them through the doorway to the people, who scrambled after them most frantically, believing that they possessed some marvelous charm. A fat, oily-looking Brahmin waddled to the door and threw round my neck a strirg of flow ets, at the same time holding out his hand for ''bucksheesh''. The crowd behind scowled at my good luck, and my guide drew me away, for no one could tell what the {{SIC|zeal|zeal of}} these deluded fanatics would lead them to do to an unbeliever. Ten years ago my life would not have been worth a minute’s purchase in such a place. I bestowed my string of marigolds upon some one who could appreciate their value, and we elbowed our way into the comparatively fresh air of the street, haying seen enough of {{SIC|Hindoo|Hindu}} idolatry. Ou our way back to the “Victoria,” we passed hundreds of shops devoted to the manufacture of brass and copper idols of Vishnu, Shiva and Buddha. In other shops where no manufacturing was going on I saw large quantities of hideous little idols made of iron and covered with gilt lacquer, which my guide assured me were made in Birmingham. Verily, not India alone, but Christian England also, is somewhat given up to I-dollar-try. {{right|W. P.

Everywhere in India I have {{SIC|remarked|remarked at}} the abundance and tameness of the birds. It is part of the religion of a Hindoo never to kill a living being when avoidable. This is carried almost too far, when applied to wild beasts and noxious vermin, but it softens their treatment of animals, and is one ennobling feature in their system of idolatry and superstition, which might well be imitated by Christians, Another hundred miles to the north and we reach Cawnpore, ever memorable as the scene of the most barbarous act of the mutiny of 1857. It is situated on the right bank of the Ganges, and was once a place of considerable importance and busy traffic. It is now a large military station, with long ranges of barracka and store-houses, and usually several regiments of troops are stationed here. I presume the sad story of the massacre of nearly three hundred women and children, and the casting of their bodies into a well, by order of the infamous Nana Sahib, is familiar fo most of my readers. The sudden breaking out of the mutiny and revolt of the Sepoy soldiers in May, 1857, found the government quite unprepared for such an emergency. At that time there were no railways or telegraphs in India, and these distant stations were completely isolated. The rebellion broke out simultaneously at several points and spread like wild-fire; and in a few weeks the whole northwestern provinces were in the posession of the rebels. The East india Company had an army of about two hundred thousand men, of whom only thirty thousand were English, and these were scattered in small detachments over an immense territory. The native troops were officered by Europeans, most of whom were instantly dispatched by the mutineers, and their places supplied by natives, who displayed considerable military ability during the struggle that followed.

Only a portion of the native troops revolted, and in several provinces the judicious management and prompt action of the civil and military authorities kept them faithful to the English, with whom they united in putting down the rebels. Had the disaffection been general, and any unity of action existed among the rebels, every vestige of British rule would heve been swept from India. The immediate pretext of the mutiny was the use of cartridges greneed with lard, which the Sepoys were compelled to bite off. To touch “the {{SIC|onclean|unclean}} animal” was to them a defilement against which their religion revolted. Fortunately, though both {{SIC|Musselmen|Muslims}} and Hindoos united in hating their foreign rulers, they bore no affection for each other. The former numbered but one in twelve of the native population, and are high-spirited and brave. Their ancestors had overrun India and tiled the country for five hundred years before the English acquired possession. The Kings of Delhi and Oude, with many less powerful Rajahs, still retained their titles, but were only nominan or titular princes, keeping up the semblance of royalty, but in fact stipendiaries, supported by the allowances made to them by their English masters. Jealousy between {{SIC|Mohamedans|Muslims}} and Hindoos created a division in their counsels, and made the suppression of the reballion comparatively easy. But it was a narrow escape, and the English learned a lesson, costing them dearly in blood and treasure, which resulted in a more humane and less oppressive system of government, under which the couutry is now more prosperous than ever before. The rebellion broke out in the spring, and during the awfully hot summer that followed it was very difficult for the Euglish soldiers, sent out to India from home, to relieve the few isolated forts that held out against the insurgents, in which were crowded all the English residents with their wives and children. The whole country from Delhi to Calcutta, more than twelve hundred miles in extent, was in the hands of the rebels; and in Delhi, the ancient capital, a descendant of the Moguls was proclaimed Emperor of India.

But before they could leave the shore fire was opened upon them, snd only two escaped alive. In another part of the town, where several hundred invalid soldiers and women and children were collected, all were slaughtered, and their bodies, yet warm, thrown into an old well. My first visit in Cawnpore was to this spot, where now on a raised mound is a beautiful memorial, erected over the well. It consists of a high stone platform, on which stands a marble statue of a female with wings, designed by Baron Marochetti. This is surrounded by a stone gothic screen of beautiful design and workmanship. Near by are the tombs of those who fell at Cawnpore during the mutiny. There are many nameless, grass-grown mounds, among which are shrubs and flowers. The keeper of the place pointed out some patches of ground where the grass but feebly sprouted, and which resembled the "fairy rings” one sometimes sees in country places, and said, “These are the places where the little children are buried, the grass won’t grow here if I water ever so much. It seems to me as if the curse of God is on the spot, and on the men who committed the horrible deed.” A large tract of ground neatly laid out and beautifully kept, called the ''Memorial Garden'', surrounds the spot, and no native is allowed under any consideration to enter the enclosure. From Cawnpore there is a branch road, forty-two miles to Lucknow, the capital of Oude, which contains a population of over 300,000 people. It is a purely oriental city of great extent and very picturesque appearance. More properly than any other place in India it is entitled to the name of the “City of Palaces". Approaching the city from the railway station, a mile distant, the picture was like a dream of fairy land. Majestic buildings, apparently of white marble, crowned with domes of burnished gold, scores of pinnacles and minarets, many of them very high and graceful, spacious grounds filled with choice shrubbery and flowers, made the first impression very gratifying. But a nearer view destroyed much of the illusion.

The table of contents seems to have many (if not all) of the poems in Poems (Smith), although I have not checked every one, to see if it is incomplete.

Same for other poems that shared a title. Led to redlinks in the toc when @[[User:Duckmather|Duckmather]] linked it. Thanks for reminding me of the aux-toc lines, I'd forgotten they existed. :::If pages should always be transcluded in order of apparition, when the TOC is not in that order, a secondary, auxiliary TOC is I think useful for navigation. At any rate, it is for proofreading, because often in poetry titles on the pages of these poems are in all-caps, and the correct capitalization is only present in the TOC. This makes it for most poetry collections a headache to transclude without a TOC in order of apparition to find what is the exact name of the following/preceding poem. :::Imagine someone wanted to read one of these collections. They could either a) fish for the smallest page number in the TOC, assuming it's correct, and take the "next" links, or b) start from another one, maybe the first in the TOC, and then land at some random point in the collection and then have to go through the "next" links ''and'' the "previous" links if they want to read the whole of it. Same goes if they were interrupted and want to re-start reading at a specific point in the book. :::This inconvenience exists specifically and only when the order of tranclusion is different from the order of the TOC. That was why first I always transcluded in the order of the TOC, and after learning that transclusion has to be in page order, I add a second TOC that matches the order of transclusion to ease navigation. — [[User:Alien333|Alien333]] ([[Special:Contributions/Alien333|what I did]] &amp; [[User_talk:Alien333|why I did it wrong]]) 07:44, 19 May 2024 (UTC) == sib links == As long as the target subpage and target display name are the same, you can use [https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=The_Old_Road_to_Paradise%2FThe_Old_Kings&diff=14213605&oldid=14213523 this syntax], which is just as compact as the template but without requiring a template. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 21:34, 20 May 2024 (UTC) :Fair enough. — [[User:Alien333|Alien333]] ([[Special:Contributions/Alien333|what I did]] &amp; [[User_talk:Alien333|why I did it wrong]]) 05:06, 21 May 2024 (UTC) == Hello, new reader here... == https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/User_talk:Alien333#/editor/0 [[User:ImaginarySusan|ImaginarySusan]] ([[User talk:ImaginarySusan|talk]]) 09:00, 2 June 2024 (UTC) :Feel free to ask if you have any questions. — [[User:Alien333|Alien333]] ([[Special:Contributions/Alien333|what I did]] &amp; [[User_talk:Alien333|why I did it wrong]]) 09:07, 2 June 2024 (UTC) ::Merci beaucoup! ::( High school French... from 40 years ago!) ::🙏👩‍🎨🇲🇫💜 [[User:ImaginarySusan|ImaginarySusan]] ([[User talk:ImaginarySusan|talk]]) 10:12, 2 June 2024 (UTC) :oh I am fumbling.

Personally, I think it should never have been implemented, but I was a lone voice at the time. [[User:Beeswaxcandle|Beeswaxcandle]] ([[User talk:Beeswaxcandle|talk]]) 07:24, 20 December 2024 (UTC) :I know it's default (as I arrived after it was set up, so at first I had it too. It got me very, very confused when I transcluded [[Anna Karenina (Dole)|my first work]], after which I just turned it off when I found out that was possible). 100% agree with you on it being a bad idea. :The main issues I can see with the current way are: :a) new users tend to not know what it means, and think it just gives a limit that can both be used for start and end; so it's not easier to understand :b) it requires putting ## ... ## twice for a single section break; the manual way does the same, but I'm saying that Easy LST doesn't help type much less either :c) users even have to type ''more'' in cases where the begin is not right after the end (e.g. there's a separator that shouldn't be transcluded in either) :However, I get where it's coming from, as typing the &lt;section ...="..."/&gt; can be bothersome. I think there is probably something better to be salvaged from this. To me, the "right" way of doing it would have been just making a <code>##''x''#''y''##</code> shortcut, where it expands to something in the lines of (in pseudo-code) :<code>result = ""</code> :<code>if !x.match(/^\s*$/) (meaning is not of the form ## # ... ##)</code> :::<code>then result += '&lt;section end="'+trim(x)+'"/&gt;'</code> :<code>if !y.match(/^\s*$/) (meaning is not of the form ## ... # ##)</code> :::<code>then result += '&lt;section begin="'+trim(y)+'"/&gt;'</code> :<code>return result</code> :While we're on it, I'd like to ask you a question about section titles. Personally, I think that individual labels that do not follow an easy pattern only take more time. In my first work, I labeled chapter beginning/ends with c[chapter num], and it was a nightmare to keep track of it when transcluding. Ever since, I always call the sections, a, b, c, d, &c in that order (so end=a, begin=b, end=b, begin=c, &c, and reset to end=a on every page). If this gets consensus, the above proposal could be even better, such as ### to put a end & begin, #### for only end, and ##### for only begin.

In re the choice of labels, I think it depends on the type of work being dealt with. If there are lots of small sections on a page, then the a, b, c, d, … works well. But if we're dealing with sections that go over multiple pages, then I tend to label them in accordance with their name. This means that when I'm transcluding, I don't have to think about I called the sections as they matches with the title of the subpage. In the end, I see it as an individual thing and would prefer not to dictate how to label. That's not to say that the Help: page can't have a suggested "ideal."

The litanies span several pages, so now I am trying to get them to format correctly. I followed the instructions at [[Help:Table#Spanning_Pages]] and [[Help:Page breaks]] and put the table coding in the footers, but now in the trancluded namespace, it places the tables (pages) next to each other, rather than one above the other. Will you please take a look and tell me what I am doing wrong? [[Blessed be God/Devotions To The Holy Name]] Before I put the table codes in the headers and footers, the transcluded pages had pages 2 and 3 at the left margin instead of block centered.

To mark a new row, use <code>|-</code>, on its own line. See [[w:Help:Table]] for more details. :There was also another issue, that was my fault. In a table, the cells appear one above the other, but they are separared. With ppoem, this means that the poems are not actually joined, so the start=follow's, that expect a ppoem right before, caused this alignment issue you mentioned. However, the table itself is centered (margin:0 auto), so we don't have to join the ppoems. We can therefore remove the starts and ends. But then, they will all be centred in the same column, but they're not the same width, so the beginning of lines wouldn't ve aligned. Luckily, the table provides us with a way to align them together: stripping them of their native centering, which makes them all go to the left of the column, so they're aligned. :There's a last problem which needed to be taken care of. By default, there will be some space between rows of a table, and we don't want that.

The default line-height on Mediawiki is about 1.6em (why I don't know), so e.g. when you need a braces 18 lines high, you can write: {{tlx|brace3|calc(18 * 1.6em)|r}}. <code>calc()</code> is a CSS function, that permits using arithmetic operations in the code. This leaves cleaner code, in this case when you see <code>calc(18 * 1.6em)</code> you know it's 18 lines, whereas if it was just <code>28.8em</code> it'd be much less clear. The line height is in fact closer to 1.5714, and when multiplying by large numbers you may want to use the more precise value, as at that scale the offset becomes visible, e.g. 100*(1.6-1.5714) = 100 * 0.286 = 28.6em, which is not negligible. :::Also, something important: do not use curly quotes (” “ ’ ‘) in code.

The steps would be: 1) select V22 as skin; 2) uncheck Preferences > Appearance > Skin preferences > "enable limited width mode" 3) add <code><nowiki>@import "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Gadget-dark-mode.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css";</nowiki></code> to [[Special:MyPage/common.css|your common.css]] or [[m:Special:MyPage/global.css|your global.css]].

I copied it into my common.css but does any of it need hard line breaks? (Feel free to edit it.)

(At the bottom of the editing page, I do see publish, cancel, etc., but I do NOT see colors or popups for the Page Status radio buttons.) Also at the top of every page for things like Preferences and Notices. I do see text for some (but not all) of the navigation links at the top (e.g., History). (One reason I was using monobook was that it was more text-based with fewer button icons. Is there a way to tell Vector22 to use text instead of buttons?) :::::::::::Then there are all the problems with page status colors, such as on Index pages. I have sort of solved this problem by switching to a secondary theme in Windows which has a few more colors. Some programs--not just Wikisource!-- simply will not work with standard high-contrast inverted colors. :::::::::::And AHA! I just discovered that if I switch to my secondary Windows theme, the buttons all show up (properly inverted). So something in my browser (or Windows) must be overriding them. BUT now the insert-markup box has a bright background, and the buttons below it above the editing box are blank. I will play with the themes and see if there's a simple fix. :::::::::::So you see, everything is a trade-off. Several years ago someone wrote me a lot of css to make things workable for me in WS, but with changes over time to how Windows does colors, how browsers do colors, and WM skins, most things eventually looked better without the css. So fiddling with it is probably more trouble than it's worth. It'll just break with the next update. :::::::::::re: the other stuff, I can recommend to you a couple of prayers for humility.

I was completely, totally wrong. I owe everyone involved apologies, for causing unnecessary conflict through my stupidity, and for acting like an moron. (To SF00, more specifically: sorry for recruiting you into this mess.) I ought to go hide in a hole of shame and never come out. My edit ''was'' the problem, because the line spans are not inline. They have display:block. Which is why the lint errors said "span". And why SF00 first mentioned div-in-p errors, as a blocked span is essentially a div. This display:block was also written [https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Template:Ppoem/styles.css#L-42 in the style sheet], and therefore on ppoem in the browser console. I looked at both at least twenty times each in the last month. I do not know how I managed to not notice this whole thing as it was damn staring into my face. I found out because InductiveLoad mentioned that spans were blocked on his talk page in 2021. (On realizing, kinda wanted to ask, why'd no one correct me? But you did try, both of you, although you didn't know, or didn't manage to make me understand (wouldn't be your fault, rather mine), the exact reason why I was wrong, and so I wasn't convinced. I guess this is the problem with being too confident. Anyhow, the responsibility is all mine.) I suppose it only signaled on 600 pages (as opposed to tens of thousands) because a span-display-block that has only span children is considered in some step of the linting process to be an inline element, and therefore to not be an issue. Now, for consequences of my actions. Of these 600-odd edits (counts approximate, from memory): #200 were harmlessly moving a pipe after instead of before a custom rule. They're pointless, but harmless. #50 were removing templates, and replacing them by something not worse ({{tl|hi}} to {{tl|hin}}), or a bit better ({{tl|FI}} to simple images, as FI has no use in ppoem). #300 were replacing rules by bars. They could be characterized as either changes slightly for the worse (semantic-wise), or slightly for the better (because of the 4em shift issue). #50 of them were changes definitely for the worse (such as splitting a {{tl|ppoem}} where something that couldn't be included was used, e.g. a double rule). I think that reverting: * the first and part of the second would be as pointless, and harmless, as these edits themselves. * the rest of the second would be slightly for the worse, but not a great lot. * the third group will be done, because one important issue with it is that, though it was not the intention, it did end up enforcing one side (as the pages already using {{tl|bar}} did not appear in the list), for no valid reason. * the fourth group will be necessary, as it's a worse result for no valid reason either. I will reread all of these 600 edits and revert those that need to be. As the proverb goes: sow the wind, reap the whirlwind. — [[User:Alien333|Alien]] [[User talk:Alien333|<b style="display:inline-block;line-height:100%;font-size:60%;background-image:linear-gradient(90deg,#007,#077,#070);background-clip:text;color:transparent">&ensp;3<br/>3 3</b>]] 20:35, 1 January 2025 (UTC) :This wasn't addressed to me, but may I jump in here and say: :{{...}} dimitte nobis debita nostra, sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.

While I do a lot of old texts, for which OCR produces at best only middling results, I also do some more modern stuff with cleaner typefaces, which seem to be what you focus on. I'd like to have a go with whatever these tools are, and was wondering if they're available, and if there's a tutorial covering their use? Regards, [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise|talk]]) 15:35, 9 January 2025 (UTC) :It's probably much less automated then you think, and it's nearly all available. Details of my workflow, if you'll bear with me (I'm afraid most of it won't interest you): :I consider OCR quality to be key. Bad OCR is a lot of time lost. Therefore I always strive to get as good OCR as I can. My current mix for that is: :* Getting the JP2s from IA (I nearly only work with IA). I keep them around till I'm done, for illustrations. When I need some of those, I get JPGs from the JP2s, do whatever file manipulation I want to do with the JPGs, and then upload to commons (I chose a fixed format to save time: {{tqi|[Index name without extension] p[pagenum].jpg}}). :* Converting them to PDF with [https://gitlab.mister-muffin.de/josch/img2pdf img2pdf]. This intermediate PDF conversion between JP2 and DJVU is probably the weakest link right now, as it entails a slight loss in quality, but it is needed for the next step. :* Which is OCR itself, using [https://github.com/ocrmypdf/OCRmyPDF ocrmypdf] (using tesseract). After a lot of testing, I found that this gave much better result than other methods. It has an issue tesseract always has of often badly misunderstanding quotes, but for letters and other punctuation, it's top notch, as far as I've seen. I would like to get a same-quality equivalent for djvu, but haven't found yet ): (never managed to get ocrodjvu up and running). A property I like a lot with ocrmypdf, is that when it fails (which is rarely, apart from quotes), it either fails loudly (quotes also fail loudly, I'm merely saying that outside of them there are few errors), or fail in way that are made loud by some of the below tools. When it doesn't understand a word, it often spits out gibberish, instead of an easily-confusable incorrect version of that word. :* Conversion to DJVU using [https://github.com/jwilk-archive/pdf2djvu pdf2djvu]. :* At this step, there might be misaligned OCR. I do {{tqi|djvused [filename].djvu -e "output-all" > test.dsed}} (djvused is from [https://djvu.sourceforge.net/features.html djvulibre]), and watch if a text hierarchy error comes up. If it does, it means that some page returned invalid OCR, and PRP is going to have trouble with that, and the OCR will be shifted, which is huge pain. To solve this, go to test.dsed, look what's the last pagenum. If it's after the work's end (in the no text pages at the end), as it often happens, you can ignore it. Else, do, with {{tqi|djvused [filename.djvu] -e "select [last pagenum in the djvused+1];remove-txt;save"}}, and then rinse and repeat till it's fine. :* Finally, then upload to the relevant place often with the filename {{tqi|[mainspace work name].djvu}} (sometimes remove the parentheses in the name, because I did a lot of works called {{tqi|Poems (author name)}}, and so there were always parentheses. In the past, my code assumed the title was always a form of that. most of this, but not all, has been cleared.) :For proofreading itself: I have made plenty of scripts (all here online on WS) to assist with various steps. I have tried to provide doc so that others can use, feel free to ask if it's unclear. They are: :* [[User:Alien333/common.js]]: not much, and this one can't really be used by everyone, it's mostly temporary stuff. The one important thing (maybe should be moved out?) is near the end, it prevents saving a page where there are invalid italic/bold (a bit simplistic, might have false positives.) :* [[User:Alien333/cuts.js]]: provides access to various functions of the below, as well as navigation (shifting Page:s, shifting sibling through the {{tl|header}}s, and so on, with for each the option to open in this tab or a new one) through key combinations (mostly ctrl-meta-something, with a bit of ctrl-something). see [[User:Alien333/cuts]] :* [[User:Alien333/clean.js]]: applies some regexes to clean OCR and do some basic formatting. This is invoked by many of my scripts; you may want to provide a dummy clean() function (that returns its output) in your user JS if you don't like it. :* [[User:Alien333/poemise.js]]: as the name says, to ease formatting poetry, being able to do the formatting with 3-4 characters and a keypress on most pages so far. It also brings an imperfect way to fix the di-ppoem interaction (premature wrapping), and functions to change ppoem ends and starts fluidly. see [[User:Alien333/poemise]] :* [[User:Alien333/nobr.js]]: I rarely use it (as I mostly do poetry), but it's the manyth version of a simple unwrapping script. :* [[User:Alien333/rhalt.js]]: A fork of the rh gadget, specialized for poetry. It does not replace it; it is complementary. I like having the two at hand. see [[User:Alien333/rhalt]] :* [[User:Alien333/addtpp.js]]: a simple script to correct typos in the name of {{tl|tpp}}, and replaces {{tl|ppoem}} by {{tl|tpp}} when tpp features are used. :* [[User:Alien333/pagenum.js]]: very simplistic script that adds, in the page header for Page:s, their pagenum as defined in the pagelist :* [[User:Alien333/cmbb.js]]: a WIP wikicode editor, somehow similar to CodeMirror, for thorougher highlighting that includes the headers/footers and other features I wanted. Notably, this allows CSS styling of common scannos to identify them easier. see [[User:Alien333/cmbb]] :I also use Firefox's spell checker (with an extendable dictionary, which now comprises about 9000 items for old words that are valid) to find scannos (it takes no action). :I at this point probably should talk about {{tl|tpp}}. It's a thing I made, which uses ppoem, to do some stuff I ended up doing often. This template could be debated. The reason I have not tried to add these features to ppoem is that ppoem has the characteristic of being clean; these are not, and in some cases cannot be, clean. Features (see the doc for details): :* Adding a title as first parameter, centered and targetable with CSS; that allows marvels, and permits the elimination of a great lot of repetitive formatting :* Wrapping in most cases the first words with a classed span (for small-caps first words); this has saved me a great lot of time :* Relative indent; essentially the same as typing <code>{{tlx|phantom|previous line}} this line</code>, but shorter :* Reverse indent; does exactly what it says on the tin; to be rewritten to be cleaner :* Separating of different parts of a poem not aligned together (in effect making multiple ppoems); it has the advantage of 1) being shorter and 2) taking better care of the height of the break between the poems, being the same as that of a regular stanza break :That's about as far as it goes for transcription. I have optimised as much as I could so that I could easily find most scannos, and that hard-to-find scannos are very rare. That is probably one of the things that speed the most up. (I stay on the lookout for the scannos I have trouble finding, and when I find one once in a book I wait until I'm finished and then I reread everything, checking specifically for that, as if there's one of these I may have missed more.) I have given a lot of though on that, and I believe that I do not go too fast for it to diminish the quality of my works; if that is not the case, please point me to where I messed up, and I will gladly reread and correct that or these books, and adapt my method. :For transclusion, I use [[User:Alien333/transclude.js]], which indeed has allowed me to speed the process up tremendously. I intend to give this a proper (OOUI) interface one of these days, to make it more usable. see [[User:Alien333/transclude]] :For disambiguation, I maintain a local list of most of the poems I have transcribed, a piece of OCaml code takes care of finding matches and adding to the list. [[User:Alien333/dab.js]] does the actual on-wiki work (it is one of the things which rely on the title being Poems, which is why I do not disambiguate the other works I do). :There you go!

It also does random things like moving the beginning or end of a line elsewhere on the page, throwing in different language symbols (e.g. it sometimes puts in Hebrew characters in place of double quotation marks), and as to where it might put the page number, well that's anyone's guess. It also doesn't separate paragraphs, whereas Tesseract does, which also does better with quotation marks.

But I am actively involved in trying to improve this multi-volume work and so I noticed the redirects that you added and attempted to tailor my previous work to match them, thereby leaving a bunch of redirects in my wake that probably now could be removed. [[The Collected Works of Henrik Ibsen/Volume 2/The Vikings at Helgeland/Act 1]] Since you without a doubt have more programming experience than I, perhaps you could help me figure out what is going on with the tranclusion process for this work. There seems to be some irregularities in the page numbering of the transcluded works (but only when the page numbers are beside the text, and not when they are within the text. The html seems to indicate that the page numbers that are missing have been made "invisible" for some reason. But since I am proceeding in a standard manner, I have no idea what is causing this to happen. <nowiki><div id="pagenumber_5" class="pagenumber noprint pagenumber-invisible" style="top: 1135.42 px;">...</div></nowiki> <nowiki><div id="pagenumber_6" class="pagenumber noprint" style="top: 3094.27 px;">...</div></nowiki> <nowiki><div id="pagenumber_7" class="pagenumber noprint pagenumber-invisible" style="top: 2510.95 px;">...</div></nowiki> <nowiki><div id="pagenumber_8" class="pagenumber noprint pagenumber-invisible" style="top: 3131.15 px;">...</div></nowiki> <nowiki><div id="pagenumber_9" class="pagenumber noprint pagenumber-invisible" style="top: 3761.82 px;">...</div></nowiki> <nowiki><div id="pagenumber_10" class="pagenumber noprint" style="top: 4321.15 px;">...</div></nowiki> etc. Why are some pages being made invisible? Why is the top number sometime very inaccurate? I do not see that I am doing anything to cause this, and so it needs to be fixed at a different level, that I have no access to. This problem does not occur, however, when the page is set to "page links within text". The page numbers all show up then. In any case, I have no idea why some pages numbers are being set to "pagenumber-invisible" by the transclusion process. Any assistance to get to the bottom of this challenging issue would be appreciated.

Usually, I also leave the original TOC after, with the links (like in [[Poems (Hazlett-Bevis)]]) but the one in [[Poems (Smith)]] was incomplete (did not show poems of the same name, only the first one) so I delinked it.

I was not suggesting to modify the TOC in any way. All I meant was that all the previous/next links for each poem should follow in page order. That aside, what do you mean by "(did not show poems of the same name, only the first one)"? The table of contents seems to have many (if not all) of the poems in Poems (Smith), although I have not checked every one, to see if it is incomplete. However, if a table of contents is missing an entry, you can add an auxiliary line(s) to the original TOC (e.g.~[[Page:Eliot - Middlemarch, vol. I, 1871.djvu/9]]).

Same for other poems that shared a title. Led to redlinks in the toc when @[[User:Duckmather|Duckmather]] linked it. Thanks for reminding me of the aux-toc lines, I'd forgotten they existed. :::If pages should always be transcluded in order of apparition, when the TOC is not in that order, a secondary, auxiliary TOC is I think useful for navigation. At any rate, it is for proofreading, because often in poetry titles on the pages of these poems are in all-caps, and the correct capitalization is only present in the TOC. This makes it for most poetry collections a headache to transclude without a TOC in order of apparition to find what is the exact name of the following/preceding poem. :::Imagine someone wanted to read one of these collections. They could either a) fish for the smallest page number in the TOC, assuming it's correct, and take the "next" links, or b) start from another one, maybe the first in the TOC, and then land at some random point in the collection and then have to go through the "next" links ''and'' the "previous" links if they want to read the whole of it. Same goes if they were interrupted and want to re-start reading at a specific point in the book. :::This inconvenience exists specifically and only when the order of tranclusion is different from the order of the TOC. That was why first I always transcluded in the order of the TOC, and after learning that transclusion has to be in page order, I add a second TOC that matches the order of transclusion to ease navigation. — [[User:Alien333|Alien333]] ([[Special:Contributions/Alien333|what I did]] &amp; [[User_talk:Alien333|why I did it wrong]]) 07:44, 19 May 2024 (UTC) == sib links == As long as the target subpage and target display name are the same, you can use [https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=The_Old_Road_to_Paradise%2FThe_Old_Kings&diff=14213605&oldid=14213523 this syntax], which is just as compact as the template but without requiring a template. --[[User:EncycloPetey|EncycloPetey]] ([[User talk:EncycloPetey|talk]]) 21:34, 20 May 2024 (UTC) :Fair enough. — [[User:Alien333|Alien333]] ([[Special:Contributions/Alien333|what I did]] &amp; [[User_talk:Alien333|why I did it wrong]]) 05:06, 21 May 2024 (UTC) == Hello, new reader here... == https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/User_talk:Alien333#/editor/0 [[User:ImaginarySusan|ImaginarySusan]] ([[User talk:ImaginarySusan|talk]]) 09:00, 2 June 2024 (UTC) :Feel free to ask if you have any questions. — [[User:Alien333|Alien333]] ([[Special:Contributions/Alien333|what I did]] &amp; [[User_talk:Alien333|why I did it wrong]]) 09:07, 2 June 2024 (UTC) ::Merci beaucoup! ::( High school French... from 40 years ago!) ::🙏👩‍🎨🇲🇫💜 [[User:ImaginarySusan|ImaginarySusan]] ([[User talk:ImaginarySusan|talk]]) 10:12, 2 June 2024 (UTC) :oh I am fumbling.

I think there is probably something better to be salvaged from this. To me, the "right" way of doing it would have been just making a <code>##''x''#''y''##</code> shortcut, where it expands to something in the lines of (in pseudo-code) :<code>result = ""</code> :<code>if !x.match(/^\s*$/) (meaning is not of the form ## # ... ##)</code> :::<code>then result += '&lt;section end="'+trim(x)+'"/&gt;'</code> :<code>if !y.match(/^\s*$/) (meaning is not of the form ## ... # ##)</code> :::<code>then result += '&lt;section begin="'+trim(y)+'"/&gt;'</code> :<code>return result</code> :While we're on it, I'd like to ask you a question about section titles. Personally, I think that individual labels that do not follow an easy pattern only take more time. In my first work, I labeled chapter beginning/ends with c[chapter num], and it was a nightmare to keep track of it when transcluding. Ever since, I always call the sections, a, b, c, d, &c in that order (so end=a, begin=b, end=b, begin=c, &c, and reset to end=a on every page).

In re the choice of labels, I think it depends on the type of work being dealt with. If there are lots of small sections on a page, then the a, b, c, d, … works well. But if we're dealing with sections that go over multiple pages, then I tend to label them in accordance with their name. This means that when I'm transcluding, I don't have to think about I called the sections as they matches with the title of the subpage. In the end, I see it as an individual thing and would prefer not to dictate how to label. That's not to say that the Help: page can't have a suggested "ideal."

The litanies span several pages, so now I am trying to get them to format correctly. I followed the instructions at [[Help:Table#Spanning_Pages]] and [[Help:Page breaks]] and put the table coding in the footers, but now in the trancluded namespace, it places the tables (pages) next to each other, rather than one above the other. Will you please take a look and tell me what I am doing wrong? [[Blessed be God/Devotions To The Holy Name]] Before I put the table codes in the headers and footers, the transcluded pages had pages 2 and 3 at the left margin instead of block centered.

To mark a new row, use <code>|-</code>, on its own line. See [[w:Help:Table]] for more details. :There was also another issue, that was my fault. In a table, the cells appear one above the other, but they are separared. With ppoem, this means that the poems are not actually joined, so the start=follow's, that expect a ppoem right before, caused this alignment issue you mentioned. However, the table itself is centered (margin:0 auto), so we don't have to join the ppoems. We can therefore remove the starts and ends. But then, they will all be centred in the same column, but they're not the same width, so the beginning of lines wouldn't ve aligned. Luckily, the table provides us with a way to align them together: stripping them of their native centering, which makes them all go to the left of the column, so they're aligned. :There's a last problem which needed to be taken care of. By default, there will be some space between rows of a table, and we don't want that.

The default line-height on Mediawiki is about 1.6em (why I don't know), so e.g. when you need a braces 18 lines high, you can write: {{tlx|brace3|calc(18 * 1.6em)|r}}. <code>calc()</code> is a CSS function, that permits using arithmetic operations in the code. This leaves cleaner code, in this case when you see <code>calc(18 * 1.6em)</code> you know it's 18 lines, whereas if it was just <code>28.8em</code> it'd be much less clear. The line height is in fact closer to 1.5714, and when multiplying by large numbers you may want to use the more precise value, as at that scale the offset becomes visible, e.g. 100*(1.6-1.5714) = 100 * 0.286 = 28.6em, which is not negligible. :::Also, something important: do not use curly quotes (” “ ’ ‘) in code.

(At the bottom of the editing page, I do see publish, cancel, etc., but I do NOT see colors or popups for the Page Status radio buttons.) Also at the top of every page for things like Preferences and Notices. I do see text for some (but not all) of the navigation links at the top (e.g., History). (One reason I was using monobook was that it was more text-based with fewer button icons. Is there a way to tell Vector22 to use text instead of buttons?) :::::::::::Then there are all the problems with page status colors, such as on Index pages. I have sort of solved this problem by switching to a secondary theme in Windows which has a few more colors. Some programs--not just Wikisource!-- simply will not work with standard high-contrast inverted colors. :::::::::::And AHA! I just discovered that if I switch to my secondary Windows theme, the buttons all show up (properly inverted). So something in my browser (or Windows) must be overriding them. BUT now the insert-markup box has a bright background, and the buttons below it above the editing box are blank. I will play with the themes and see if there's a simple fix. :::::::::::So you see, everything is a trade-off. Several years ago someone wrote me a lot of css to make things workable for me in WS, but with changes over time to how Windows does colors, how browsers do colors, and WM skins, most things eventually looked better without the css. So fiddling with it is probably more trouble than it's worth. It'll just break with the next update. :::::::::::re: the other stuff, I can recommend to you a couple of prayers for humility.

I was completely, totally wrong. I owe everyone involved apologies, for causing unnecessary conflict through my stupidity, and for acting like an moron. (To SF00, more specifically: sorry for recruiting you into this mess.) I ought to go hide in a hole of shame and never come out. My edit ''was'' the problem, because the line spans are not inline. They have display:block. Which is why the lint errors said "span". And why SF00 first mentioned div-in-p errors, as a blocked span is essentially a div. This display:block was also written [https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Template:Ppoem/styles.css#L-42 in the style sheet], and therefore on ppoem in the browser console. I looked at both at least twenty times each in the last month. I do not know how I managed to not notice this whole thing as it was damn staring into my face. I found out because InductiveLoad mentioned that spans were blocked on his talk page in 2021. (On realizing, kinda wanted to ask, why'd no one correct me? But you did try, both of you, although you didn't know, or didn't manage to make me understand (wouldn't be your fault, rather mine), the exact reason why I was wrong, and so I wasn't convinced. I guess this is the problem with being too confident. Anyhow, the responsibility is all mine.) I suppose it only signaled on 600 pages (as opposed to tens of thousands) because a span-display-block that has only span children is considered in some step of the linting process to be an inline element, and therefore to not be an issue. Now, for consequences of my actions. Of these 600-odd edits (counts approximate, from memory): #200 were harmlessly moving a pipe after instead of before a custom rule. They're pointless, but harmless. #50 were removing templates, and replacing them by something not worse ({{tl|hi}} to {{tl|hin}}), or a bit better ({{tl|FI}} to simple images, as FI has no use in ppoem). #300 were replacing rules by bars. They could be characterized as either changes slightly for the worse (semantic-wise), or slightly for the better (because of the 4em shift issue). #50 of them were changes definitely for the worse (such as splitting a {{tl|ppoem}} where something that couldn't be included was used, e.g. a double rule). I think that reverting: * the first and part of the second would be as pointless, and harmless, as these edits themselves. * the rest of the second would be slightly for the worse, but not a great lot. * the third group will be done, because one important issue with it is that, though it was not the intention, it did end up enforcing one side (as the pages already using {{tl|bar}} did not appear in the list), for no valid reason. * the fourth group will be necessary, as it's a worse result for no valid reason either. I will reread all of these 600 edits and revert those that need to be.

While I do a lot of old texts, for which OCR produces at best only middling results, I also do some more modern stuff with cleaner typefaces, which seem to be what you focus on. I'd like to have a go with whatever these tools are, and was wondering if they're available, and if there's a tutorial covering their use? Regards, [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise|talk]]) 15:35, 9 January 2025 (UTC) :It's probably much less automated then you think, and it's nearly all available. Details of my workflow, if you'll bear with me (I'm afraid most of it won't interest you): :I consider OCR quality to be key. Bad OCR is a lot of time lost. Therefore I always strive to get as good OCR as I can. My current mix for that is: :* Getting the JP2s from IA (I nearly only work with IA). I keep them around till I'm done, for illustrations. When I need some of those, I get JPGs from the JP2s, do whatever file manipulation I want to do with the JPGs, and then upload to commons (I chose a fixed format to save time: {{tqi|[Index name without extension] p[pagenum].jpg}}). :* Converting them to PDF with [https://gitlab.mister-muffin.de/josch/img2pdf img2pdf]. This intermediate PDF conversion between JP2 and DJVU is probably the weakest link right now, as it entails a slight loss in quality, but it is needed for the next step. :* Which is OCR itself, using [https://github.com/ocrmypdf/OCRmyPDF ocrmypdf] (using tesseract). After a lot of testing, I found that this gave much better result than other methods. It has an issue tesseract always has of often badly misunderstanding quotes, but for letters and other punctuation, it's top notch, as far as I've seen. I would like to get a same-quality equivalent for djvu, but haven't found yet ): (never managed to get ocrodjvu up and running). A property I like a lot with ocrmypdf, is that when it fails (which is rarely, apart from quotes), it either fails loudly (quotes also fail loudly, I'm merely saying that outside of them there are few errors), or fail in way that are made loud by some of the below tools. When it doesn't understand a word, it often spits out gibberish, instead of an easily-confusable incorrect version of that word. :* Conversion to DJVU using [https://github.com/jwilk-archive/pdf2djvu pdf2djvu]. :* At this step, there might be misaligned OCR. I do {{tqi|djvused [filename].djvu -e "output-all" > test.dsed}} (djvused is from [https://djvu.sourceforge.net/features.html djvulibre]), and watch if a text hierarchy error comes up. If it does, it means that some page returned invalid OCR, and PRP is going to have trouble with that, and the OCR will be shifted, which is huge pain. To solve this, go to test.dsed, look what's the last pagenum. If it's after the work's end (in the no text pages at the end), as it often happens, you can ignore it. Else, do, with {{tqi|djvused [filename.djvu] -e "select [last pagenum in the djvused+1];remove-txt;save"}}, and then rinse and repeat till it's fine. :* Finally, then upload to the relevant place often with the filename {{tqi|[mainspace work name].djvu}} (sometimes remove the parentheses in the name, because I did a lot of works called {{tqi|Poems (author name)}}, and so there were always parentheses. In the past, my code assumed the title was always a form of that. most of this, but not all, has been cleared.) :For proofreading itself: I have made plenty of scripts (all here online on WS) to assist with various steps. I have tried to provide doc so that others can use, feel free to ask if it's unclear. They are: :* [[User:Alien333/common.js]]: not much, and this one can't really be used by everyone, it's mostly temporary stuff. The one important thing (maybe should be moved out?) is near the end, it prevents saving a page where there are invalid italic/bold (a bit simplistic, might have false positives.) :* [[User:Alien333/cuts.js]]: provides access to various functions of the below, as well as navigation (shifting Page:s, shifting sibling through the {{tl|header}}s, and so on, with for each the option to open in this tab or a new one) through key combinations (mostly ctrl-meta-something, with a bit of ctrl-something). see [[User:Alien333/cuts]] :* [[User:Alien333/clean.js]]: applies some regexes to clean OCR and do some basic formatting. This is invoked by many of my scripts; you may want to provide a dummy clean() function (that returns its output) in your user JS if you don't like it. :* [[User:Alien333/poemise.js]]: as the name says, to ease formatting poetry, being able to do the formatting with 3-4 characters and a keypress on most pages so far. It also brings an imperfect way to fix the di-ppoem interaction (premature wrapping), and functions to change ppoem ends and starts fluidly. see [[User:Alien333/poemise]] :* [[User:Alien333/nobr.js]]: I rarely use it (as I mostly do poetry), but it's the manyth version of a simple unwrapping script. :* [[User:Alien333/rhalt.js]]: A fork of the rh gadget, specialized for poetry. It does not replace it; it is complementary. I like having the two at hand. see [[User:Alien333/rhalt]] :* [[User:Alien333/addtpp.js]]: a simple script to correct typos in the name of {{tl|tpp}}, and replaces {{tl|ppoem}} by {{tl|tpp}} when tpp features are used. :* [[User:Alien333/pagenum.js]]: very simplistic script that adds, in the page header for Page:s, their pagenum as defined in the pagelist :* [[User:Alien333/cmbb.js]]: a WIP wikicode editor, somehow similar to CodeMirror, for thorougher highlighting that includes the headers/footers and other features I wanted. Notably, this allows CSS styling of common scannos to identify them easier. see [[User:Alien333/cmbb]] :I also use Firefox's spell checker (with an extendable dictionary, which now comprises about 9000 items for old words that are valid) to find scannos (it takes no action). :I at this point probably should talk about {{tl|tpp}}. It's a thing I made, which uses ppoem, to do some stuff I ended up doing often. This template could be debated. The reason I have not tried to add these features to ppoem is that ppoem has the characteristic of being clean; these are not, and in some cases cannot be, clean. Features (see the doc for details): :* Adding a title as first parameter, centered and targetable with CSS; that allows marvels, and permits the elimination of a great lot of repetitive formatting :* Wrapping in most cases the first words with a classed span (for small-caps first words); this has saved me a great lot of time :* Relative indent; essentially the same as typing <code>{{tlx|phantom|previous line}} this line</code>, but shorter :* Reverse indent; does exactly what it says on the tin; to be rewritten to be cleaner :* Separating of different parts of a poem not aligned together (in effect making multiple ppoems); it has the advantage of 1) being shorter and 2) taking better care of the height of the break between the poems, being the same as that of a regular stanza break :That's about as far as it goes for transcription. I have optimised as much as I could so that I could easily find most scannos, and that hard-to-find scannos are very rare. That is probably one of the things that speed the most up. (I stay on the lookout for the scannos I have trouble finding, and when I find one once in a book I wait until I'm finished and then I reread everything, checking specifically for that, as if there's one of these I may have missed more.) I have given a lot of though on that, and I believe that I do not go too fast for it to diminish the quality of my works; if that is not the case, please point me to where I messed up, and I will gladly reread and correct that or these books, and adapt my method. :For transclusion, I use [[User:Alien333/transclude.js]], which indeed has allowed me to speed the process up tremendously. I intend to give this a proper (OOUI) interface one of these days, to make it more usable. see [[User:Alien333/transclude]] :For disambiguation, I maintain a local list of most of the poems I have transcribed, a piece of OCaml code takes care of finding matches and adding to the list. [[User:Alien333/dab.js]] does the actual on-wiki work (it is one of the things which rely on the title being Poems, which is why I do not disambiguate the other works I do). :There you go!

It also does random things like moving the beginning or end of a line elsewhere on the page, throwing in different language symbols (e.g. it sometimes puts in Hebrew characters in place of double quotation marks), and as to where it might put the page number, well that's anyone's guess. It also doesn't separate paragraphs, whereas Tesseract does, which also does better with quotation marks.

But I am actively involved in trying to improve this multi-volume work and so I noticed the redirects that you added and attempted to tailor my previous work to match them, thereby leaving a bunch of redirects in my wake that probably now could be removed. [[The Collected Works of Henrik Ibsen/Volume 2/The Vikings at Helgeland/Act 1]] Since you without a doubt have more programming experience than I, perhaps you could help me figure out what is going on with the tranclusion process for this work. There seems to be some irregularities in the page numbering of the transcluded works (but only when the page numbers are beside the text, and not when they are within the text. The html seems to indicate that the page numbers that are missing have been made "invisible" for some reason. But since I am proceeding in a standard manner, I have no idea what is causing this to happen. <nowiki><div id="pagenumber_5" class="pagenumber noprint pagenumber-invisible" style="top: 1135.42 px;">...</div></nowiki> <nowiki><div id="pagenumber_6" class="pagenumber noprint" style="top: 3094.27 px;">...</div></nowiki> <nowiki><div id="pagenumber_7" class="pagenumber noprint pagenumber-invisible" style="top: 2510.95 px;">...</div></nowiki> <nowiki><div id="pagenumber_8" class="pagenumber noprint pagenumber-invisible" style="top: 3131.15 px;">...</div></nowiki> <nowiki><div id="pagenumber_9" class="pagenumber noprint pagenumber-invisible" style="top: 3761.82 px;">...</div></nowiki> <nowiki><div id="pagenumber_10" class="pagenumber noprint" style="top: 4321.15 px;">...</div></nowiki> etc. Why are some pages being made invisible? Why is the top number sometime very inaccurate? I do not see that I am doing anything to cause this, and so it needs to be fixed at a different level, that I have no access to. This problem does not occur, however, when the page is set to "page links within text". The page numbers all show up then. In any case, I have no idea why some pages numbers are being set to "pagenumber-invisible" by the transclusion process. Any assistance to get to the bottom of this challenging issue would be appreciated.

Usually, I also leave the original TOC after, with the links (like in [[Poems (Hazlett-Bevis)]]) but the one in [[Poems (Smith)]] was incomplete (did not show poems of the same name, only the first one) so I delinked it. What do you think I should do? — [[User:Alien333|Alien333]] ([[Special:Contributions/Alien333|what I did]] &amp; [[User_talk:Alien333|why I did it wrong]]) 18:26, 18 May 2024 (UTC) ::@[[User:Alien333|Alien333]] Sorry if I caused confusion. I was not suggesting to modify the TOC in any way. All I meant was that all the previous/next links for each poem should follow in page order. That aside, what do you mean by "(did not show poems of the same name, only the first one)"? The table of contents seems to have many (if not all) of the poems in Poems (Smith), although I have not checked every one, to see if it is incomplete. However, if a table of contents is missing an entry, you can add an auxiliary line(s) to the original TOC (e.g.~[[Page:Eliot - Middlemarch, vol. I, 1871.djvu/9]]). Hope that helps, and thanks again for all your poetry efforts, [[User:TeysaKarlov|TeysaKarlov]] ([[User talk:TeysaKarlov|talk]]) 21:22, 18 May 2024 (UTC) :::There were entries like "To Willie", of which there are two ([[Poems (Smith)/To Willie (Willie, may thy life abound)]] and [[Poems (Smith)/To Willie (Willie, may thy life be pure)]]), but the original TOC listed only one. Same for other poems that shared a title. Led to redlinks in the toc when @[[User:Duckmather|Duckmather]] linked it. Thanks for reminding me of the aux-toc lines, I'd forgotten they existed. :::If pages should always be transcluded in order of apparition, when the TOC is not in that order, a secondary, auxiliary TOC is I think useful for navigation. At any rate, it is for proofreading, because often in poetry titles on the pages of these poems are in all-caps, and the correct capitalization is only present in the TOC. This makes it for most poetry collections a headache to transclude without a TOC in order of apparition to find what is the exact name of the following/preceding poem. :::Imagine someone wanted to read one of these collections. They could either a) fish for the smallest page number in the TOC, assuming it's correct, and take the "next" links, or b) start from another one, maybe the first in the TOC, and then land at some random point in the collection and then have to go through the "next" links ''and'' the "previous" links if they want to read the whole of it. Same goes if they were interrupted and want to re-start reading at a specific point in the book. :::This inconvenience exists specifically and only when the order of tranclusion is different from the order of the TOC.

I think there is probably something better to be salvaged from this. To me, the "right" way of doing it would have been just making a <code>##''x''#''y''##</code> shortcut, where it expands to something in the lines of (in pseudo-code) :<code>result = ""</code> :<code>if !x.match(/^\s*$/) (meaning is not of the form ## # ... ##)</code> :::<code>then result += '&lt;section end="'+trim(x)+'"/&gt;'</code> :<code>if !y.match(/^\s*$/) (meaning is not of the form ## ... # ##)</code> :::<code>then result += '&lt;section begin="'+trim(y)+'"/&gt;'</code> :<code>return result</code> :While we're on it, I'd like to ask you a question about section titles. Personally, I think that individual labels that do not follow an easy pattern only take more time. In my first work, I labeled chapter beginning/ends with c[chapter num], and it was a nightmare to keep track of it when transcluding. Ever since, I always call the sections, a, b, c, d, &c in that order (so end=a, begin=b, end=b, begin=c, &c, and reset to end=a on every page).

In re the choice of labels, I think it depends on the type of work being dealt with. If there are lots of small sections on a page, then the a, b, c, d, … works well. But if we're dealing with sections that go over multiple pages, then I tend to label them in accordance with their name. This means that when I'm transcluding, I don't have to think about I called the sections as they matches with the title of the subpage. In the end, I see it as an individual thing and would prefer not to dictate how to label. That's not to say that the Help: page can't have a suggested "ideal."

The litanies span several pages, so now I am trying to get them to format correctly. I followed the instructions at [[Help:Table#Spanning_Pages]] and [[Help:Page breaks]] and put the table coding in the footers, but now in the trancluded namespace, it places the tables (pages) next to each other, rather than one above the other. Will you please take a look and tell me what I am doing wrong? [[Blessed be God/Devotions To The Holy Name]] Before I put the table codes in the headers and footers, the transcluded pages had pages 2 and 3 at the left margin instead of block centered.

To mark a new row, use <code>|-</code>, on its own line. See [[w:Help:Table]] for more details. :There was also another issue, that was my fault. In a table, the cells appear one above the other, but they are separared. With ppoem, this means that the poems are not actually joined, so the start=follow's, that expect a ppoem right before, caused this alignment issue you mentioned. However, the table itself is centered (margin:0 auto), so we don't have to join the ppoems. We can therefore remove the starts and ends. But then, they will all be centred in the same column, but they're not the same width, so the beginning of lines wouldn't ve aligned. Luckily, the table provides us with a way to align them together: stripping them of their native centering, which makes them all go to the left of the column, so they're aligned. :There's a last problem which needed to be taken care of. By default, there will be some space between rows of a table, and we don't want that.

The default line-height on Mediawiki is about 1.6em (why I don't know), so e.g. when you need a braces 18 lines high, you can write: {{tlx|brace3|calc(18 * 1.6em)|r}}. <code>calc()</code> is a CSS function, that permits using arithmetic operations in the code. This leaves cleaner code, in this case when you see <code>calc(18 * 1.6em)</code> you know it's 18 lines, whereas if it was just <code>28.8em</code> it'd be much less clear. The line height is in fact closer to 1.5714, and when multiplying by large numbers you may want to use the more precise value, as at that scale the offset becomes visible, e.g. 100*(1.6-1.5714) = 100 * 0.286 = 28.6em, which is not negligible. :::Also, something important: do not use curly quotes (” “ ’ ‘) in code.

(At the bottom of the editing page, I do see publish, cancel, etc., but I do NOT see colors or popups for the Page Status radio buttons.) Also at the top of every page for things like Preferences and Notices. I do see text for some (but not all) of the navigation links at the top (e.g., History). (One reason I was using monobook was that it was more text-based with fewer button icons. Is there a way to tell Vector22 to use text instead of buttons?) :::::::::::Then there are all the problems with page status colors, such as on Index pages. I have sort of solved this problem by switching to a secondary theme in Windows which has a few more colors. Some programs--not just Wikisource!-- simply will not work with standard high-contrast inverted colors. :::::::::::And AHA! I just discovered that if I switch to my secondary Windows theme, the buttons all show up (properly inverted). So something in my browser (or Windows) must be overriding them. BUT now the insert-markup box has a bright background, and the buttons below it above the editing box are blank. I will play with the themes and see if there's a simple fix. :::::::::::So you see, everything is a trade-off. Several years ago someone wrote me a lot of css to make things workable for me in WS, but with changes over time to how Windows does colors, how browsers do colors, and WM skins, most things eventually looked better without the css. So fiddling with it is probably more trouble than it's worth. It'll just break with the next update. :::::::::::re: the other stuff, I can recommend to you a couple of prayers for humility.

I was completely, totally wrong. I owe everyone involved apologies, for causing unnecessary conflict through my stupidity, and for acting like an moron. (To SF00, more specifically: sorry for recruiting you into this mess.) I ought to go hide in a hole of shame and never come out. My edit ''was'' the problem, because the line spans are not inline. They have display:block. Which is why the lint errors said "span". And why SF00 first mentioned div-in-p errors, as a blocked span is essentially a div. This display:block was also written [https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Template:Ppoem/styles.css#L-42 in the style sheet], and therefore on ppoem in the browser console. I looked at both at least twenty times each in the last month. I do not know how I managed to not notice this whole thing as it was damn staring into my face. I found out because InductiveLoad mentioned that spans were blocked on his talk page in 2021. (On realizing, kinda wanted to ask, why'd no one correct me? But you did try, both of you, although you didn't know, or didn't manage to make me understand (wouldn't be your fault, rather mine), the exact reason why I was wrong, and so I wasn't convinced. I guess this is the problem with being too confident. Anyhow, the responsibility is all mine.) I suppose it only signaled on 600 pages (as opposed to tens of thousands) because a span-display-block that has only span children is considered in some step of the linting process to be an inline element, and therefore to not be an issue. Now, for consequences of my actions. Of these 600-odd edits (counts approximate, from memory): #200 were harmlessly moving a pipe after instead of before a custom rule. They're pointless, but harmless. #50 were removing templates, and replacing them by something not worse ({{tl|hi}} to {{tl|hin}}), or a bit better ({{tl|FI}} to simple images, as FI has no use in ppoem). #300 were replacing rules by bars. They could be characterized as either changes slightly for the worse (semantic-wise), or slightly for the better (because of the 4em shift issue). #50 of them were changes definitely for the worse (such as splitting a {{tl|ppoem}} where something that couldn't be included was used, e.g. a double rule). I think that reverting: * the first and part of the second would be as pointless, and harmless, as these edits themselves. * the rest of the second would be slightly for the worse, but not a great lot. * the third group will be done, because one important issue with it is that, though it was not the intention, it did end up enforcing one side (as the pages already using {{tl|bar}} did not appear in the list), for no valid reason. * the fourth group will be necessary, as it's a worse result for no valid reason either. I will reread all of these 600 edits and revert those that need to be.

While I do a lot of old texts, for which OCR produces at best only middling results, I also do some more modern stuff with cleaner typefaces, which seem to be what you focus on. I'd like to have a go with whatever these tools are, and was wondering if they're available, and if there's a tutorial covering their use? Regards, [[User:Chrisguise|Chrisguise]] ([[User talk:Chrisguise|talk]]) 15:35, 9 January 2025 (UTC) :It's probably much less automated then you think, and it's nearly all available. Details of my workflow, if you'll bear with me (I'm afraid most of it won't interest you): :I consider OCR quality to be key. Bad OCR is a lot of time lost. Therefore I always strive to get as good OCR as I can. My current mix for that is: :* Getting the JP2s from IA (I nearly only work with IA). I keep them around till I'm done, for illustrations. When I need some of those, I get JPGs from the JP2s, do whatever file manipulation I want to do with the JPGs, and then upload to commons (I chose a fixed format to save time: {{tqi|[Index name without extension] p[pagenum].jpg}}). :* Converting them to PDF with [https://gitlab.mister-muffin.de/josch/img2pdf img2pdf]. This intermediate PDF conversion between JP2 and DJVU is probably the weakest link right now, as it entails a slight loss in quality, but it is needed for the next step. :* Which is OCR itself, using [https://github.com/ocrmypdf/OCRmyPDF ocrmypdf] (using tesseract). After a lot of testing, I found that this gave much better result than other methods. It has an issue tesseract always has of often badly misunderstanding quotes, but for letters and other punctuation, it's top notch, as far as I've seen. I would like to get a same-quality equivalent for djvu, but haven't found yet ): (never managed to get ocrodjvu up and running). A property I like a lot with ocrmypdf, is that when it fails (which is rarely, apart from quotes), it either fails loudly (quotes also fail loudly, I'm merely saying that outside of them there are few errors), or fail in way that are made loud by some of the below tools. When it doesn't understand a word, it often spits out gibberish, instead of an easily-confusable incorrect version of that word. :* Conversion to DJVU using [https://github.com/jwilk-archive/pdf2djvu pdf2djvu]. :* At this step, there might be misaligned OCR. I do {{tqi|djvused [filename].djvu -e "output-all" > test.dsed}} (djvused is from [https://djvu.sourceforge.net/features.html djvulibre]), and watch if a text hierarchy error comes up. If it does, it means that some page returned invalid OCR, and PRP is going to have trouble with that, and the OCR will be shifted, which is huge pain. To solve this, go to test.dsed, look what's the last pagenum. If it's after the work's end (in the no text pages at the end), as it often happens, you can ignore it. Else, do, with {{tqi|djvused [filename.djvu] -e "select [last pagenum in the djvused+1];remove-txt;save"}}, and then rinse and repeat till it's fine. :* Finally, then upload to the relevant place often with the filename {{tqi|[mainspace work name].djvu}} (sometimes remove the parentheses in the name, because I did a lot of works called {{tqi|Poems (author name)}}, and so there were always parentheses. In the past, my code assumed the title was always a form of that. most of this, but not all, has been cleared.) :For proofreading itself: I have made plenty of scripts (all here online on WS) to assist with various steps. I have tried to provide doc so that others can use, feel free to ask if it's unclear. They are: :* [[User:Alien333/common.js]]: not much, and this one can't really be used by everyone, it's mostly temporary stuff. The one important thing (maybe should be moved out?) is near the end, it prevents saving a page where there are invalid italic/bold (a bit simplistic, might have false positives.) :* [[User:Alien333/cuts.js]]: provides access to various functions of the below, as well as navigation (shifting Page:s, shifting sibling through the {{tl|header}}s, and so on, with for each the option to open in this tab or a new one) through key combinations (mostly ctrl-meta-something, with a bit of ctrl-something). see [[User:Alien333/cuts]] :* [[User:Alien333/clean.js]]: applies some regexes to clean OCR and do some basic formatting. This is invoked by many of my scripts; you may want to provide a dummy clean() function (that returns its output) in your user JS if you don't like it. :* [[User:Alien333/poemise.js]]: as the name says, to ease formatting poetry, being able to do the formatting with 3-4 characters and a keypress on most pages so far. It also brings an imperfect way to fix the di-ppoem interaction (premature wrapping), and functions to change ppoem ends and starts fluidly. see [[User:Alien333/poemise]] :* [[User:Alien333/nobr.js]]: I rarely use it (as I mostly do poetry), but it's the manyth version of a simple unwrapping script. :* [[User:Alien333/rhalt.js]]: A fork of the rh gadget, specialized for poetry. It does not replace it; it is complementary. I like having the two at hand. see [[User:Alien333/rhalt]] :* [[User:Alien333/addtpp.js]]: a simple script to correct typos in the name of {{tl|tpp}}, and replaces {{tl|ppoem}} by {{tl|tpp}} when tpp features are used. :* [[User:Alien333/pagenum.js]]: very simplistic script that adds, in the page header for Page:s, their pagenum as defined in the pagelist :* [[User:Alien333/cmbb.js]]: a WIP wikicode editor, somehow similar to CodeMirror, for thorougher highlighting that includes the headers/footers and other features I wanted. Notably, this allows CSS styling of common scannos to identify them easier. see [[User:Alien333/cmbb]] :I also use Firefox's spell checker (with an extendable dictionary, which now comprises about 9000 items for old words that are valid) to find scannos (it takes no action). :I at this point probably should talk about {{tl|tpp}}. It's a thing I made, which uses ppoem, to do some stuff I ended up doing often. This template could be debated. The reason I have not tried to add these features to ppoem is that ppoem has the characteristic of being clean; these are not, and in some cases cannot be, clean. Features (see the doc for details): :* Adding a title as first parameter, centered and targetable with CSS; that allows marvels, and permits the elimination of a great lot of repetitive formatting :* Wrapping in most cases the first words with a classed span (for small-caps first words); this has saved me a great lot of time :* Relative indent; essentially the same as typing <code>{{tlx|phantom|previous line}} this line</code>, but shorter :* Reverse indent; does exactly what it says on the tin; to be rewritten to be cleaner :* Separating of different parts of a poem not aligned together (in effect making multiple ppoems); it has the advantage of 1) being shorter and 2) taking better care of the height of the break between the poems, being the same as that of a regular stanza break :That's about as far as it goes for transcription. I have optimised as much as I could so that I could easily find most scannos, and that hard-to-find scannos are very rare. That is probably one of the things that speed the most up. (I stay on the lookout for the scannos I have trouble finding, and when I find one once in a book I wait until I'm finished and then I reread everything, checking specifically for that, as if there's one of these I may have missed more.) I have given a lot of though on that, and I believe that I do not go too fast for it to diminish the quality of my works; if that is not the case, please point me to where I messed up, and I will gladly reread and correct that or these books, and adapt my method. :For transclusion, I use [[User:Alien333/transclude.js]], which indeed has allowed me to speed the process up tremendously. I intend to give this a proper (OOUI) interface one of these days, to make it more usable. see [[User:Alien333/transclude]] :For disambiguation, I maintain a local list of most of the poems I have transcribed, a piece of OCaml code takes care of finding matches and adding to the list. [[User:Alien333/dab.js]] does the actual on-wiki work (it is one of the things which rely on the title being Poems, which is why I do not disambiguate the other works I do). :There you go!

It also does random things like moving the beginning or end of a line elsewhere on the page, throwing in different language symbols (e.g. it sometimes puts in Hebrew characters in place of double quotation marks), and as to where it might put the page number, well that's anyone's guess. It also doesn't separate paragraphs, whereas Tesseract does, which also does better with quotation marks.

But I am actively involved in trying to improve this multi-volume work and so I noticed the redirects that you added and attempted to tailor my previous work to match them, thereby leaving a bunch of redirects in my wake that probably now could be removed. [[The Collected Works of Henrik Ibsen/Volume 2/The Vikings at Helgeland/Act 1]] Since you without a doubt have more programming experience than I, perhaps you could help me figure out what is going on with the tranclusion process for this work. There seems to be some irregularities in the page numbering of the transcluded works (but only when the page numbers are beside the text, and not when they are within the text. The html seems to indicate that the page numbers that are missing have been made "invisible" for some reason. But since I am proceeding in a standard manner, I have no idea what is causing this to happen. <nowiki><div id="pagenumber_5" class="pagenumber noprint pagenumber-invisible" style="top: 1135.42 px;">...</div></nowiki> <nowiki><div id="pagenumber_6" class="pagenumber noprint" style="top: 3094.27 px;">...</div></nowiki> <nowiki><div id="pagenumber_7" class="pagenumber noprint pagenumber-invisible" style="top: 2510.95 px;">...</div></nowiki> <nowiki><div id="pagenumber_8" class="pagenumber noprint pagenumber-invisible" style="top: 3131.15 px;">...</div></nowiki> <nowiki><div id="pagenumber_9" class="pagenumber noprint pagenumber-invisible" style="top: 3761.82 px;">...</div></nowiki> <nowiki><div id="pagenumber_10" class="pagenumber noprint" style="top: 4321.15 px;">...</div></nowiki> etc. Why are some pages being made invisible? Why is the top number sometime very inaccurate? I do not see that I am doing anything to cause this, and so it needs to be fixed at a different level, that I have no access to. This problem does not occur, however, when the page is set to "page links within text". The page numbers all show up then. In any case, I have no idea why some pages numbers are being set to "pagenumber-invisible" by the transclusion process. Any assistance to get to the bottom of this challenging issue would be appreciated.

The metaphor in the last phrase is peculiar, and strangely Celtic for a Yankee, but the history is true. Montgomery Blair expressed the idea with greater plainness and vividness in that same year, 1873, in these words, "If we could have held Fort Sumter, there never would have been<noinclude></noinclude> n2pobiwhhbfuio14f2y9a83a3ulfl5t Page:The Ifs of History (1907).pdf/181 104 4265416 15134346 13355580 2025-06-14T19:35:26Z Beeswaxcandle 80078 /* Validated */ 15134346 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Beeswaxcandle" /></noinclude>a drop of blood shed." Both these remarks were made by men who had been in some sense actors in the events to which they referred, and made after years of reflection upon the circumstances. It does not seem to Americans of the present generation that there was ever a moment, after the election of Abraham Lincoln, when the Civil War could have been averted. It appears, in retrospect, to have been absolutely inevitable. Yet there was certainly one moment when, if President Buchanan had had the courage to apply the general views which he himself advanced in his annual message to Congress of December 3, 1860, and his special message of January 8, 1861, which explicitly denied the right of secession, a halt might have been called to the growing rebellion. The secession movement was at first concentrated in the State of South Carolina. That State, all through the winter of 1860–1861, was<noinclude></noinclude> 9hqo6kz30fbdacezpmze60pqug12jzi Page:The Ifs of History (1907).pdf/182 104 4265417 15134349 13355581 2025-06-14T19:36:16Z Beeswaxcandle 80078 /* Validated */ 15134349 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Beeswaxcandle" /></noinclude>presenting to the rest of the South an object lesson of successful nullification. In 1833 South Carolina had ordained nullification, but its ordinance was so instantly and heavily repressed by President Andrew Jackson that the State was absolutely unable to carry it out, or to move hand or foot. But now, in 1860, it did not merely ordain nullification—it enacted it. Every Federal judge, every judicial servant, and nearly every Federal official, in South Carolina, resigned, and the nation was left without an agent to enforce its laws, for no new ones were sent in. The United States authority in the State was at an end, save for the custom house at Charleston and Fort Moultrie in Charleston harbor. As long as South Carolina was let alone, her case plainly said to all the other slave States, "You see we can withdraw from the Union; we have withdrawn from the Union; and the<noinclude></noinclude> jso47oi6q7pu0aeufkfclo46c0jypru Page:The Ifs of History (1907).pdf/183 104 4265418 15134351 13355582 2025-06-14T19:37:23Z Beeswaxcandle 80078 /* Validated */ 15134351 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Beeswaxcandle" /></noinclude>Union takes no step to keep us in; you can do the same thing." At this time North Carolina and Virginia were opposed to secession. Governor Sam Houston, of Texas, stood like a rock against it. Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, never seceded. Other States were wavering. A great deal depended on the degree of success which South Carolina, the leader in the revolt, might have. And it was Buchanan who permitted South Carolina's success to become apparently complete, though in the message to which I have referred the president declared that secession was "wholly inconsistent with the Constitution," that "no human power could absolve him (the president) from his duty to enforce the laws," and that the danger of national disruption was upon the country. Buchanan, in his December message, actually quoted Jackson's solemn denunciation of the doctrine that a State had a right to separate itself from the Union. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> owj82nyuxvhydfvsoxx9i6mu0kzhvmg Page:The Ifs of History (1907).pdf/184 104 4265419 15134352 13355583 2025-06-14T19:38:43Z Beeswaxcandle 80078 /* Validated */ 15134352 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Beeswaxcandle" /></noinclude>But while he was making these terrible admissions of his own duty, what was Buchanan doing? Instead of holding up the hands of the nation's representatives in South Carolina, he was weakening them. Instead of strengthening the Federal garrison in Charleston harbor, he permitted it to dwindle until it was powerless to take a single step. Not one act, indeed, did he perform, but contented himself with calling on Congress for legislation to meet the emergency. And out of Congress, of course, he could get nothing, for the Southern representatives would vote for no such legislation, and the Republican members were bent upon waiting until Lincoln, who had been elected president, came in in March, and the northern Democrats were paralyzed with pusillanimity. So South Carolina went on proving to the other slave States that it could "go it alone."

Northern arsenals were stripped of arms. Southern officers went out of the army one by one, and made ready to organize the army of the new Confederacy which was forming under the president's nose. It was a time for the strong arm, and for quick, decisive, Jacksonian, and not at all squeamish, action. But no such action was taken. The golden moment was lost, and when, three months afterward, Lincoln came in at last, war, with all its horrors, was upon the country. If the young rebellion had been truly nipped in the bud, as it might have been, by a rigid enforcement, in November and December, 1860, of Federal judicial processes in South Carolina; if the laws of the United States had been enforced in that State at the point of the bayonet, if need be; if a Federal functionary, sustained by an ample force of United States troops, had torn South Carolina's ordinance of secession into<noinclude></noinclude> e1pbps29t8mthalvjjjx08q4ig7xbyq Page:The Ifs of History (1907).pdf/186 104 4265423 15134359 13355588 2025-06-14T19:40:34Z Beeswaxcandle 80078 /* Validated */ 15134359 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Beeswaxcandle" /></noinclude>shreds on the steps of the capitol at Columbia, with no tender regard for South Carolina's interpretation of the Constitution, is it likely that South Carolina's sister States would have been so prompt at seceding? Very likely it might not have been necessary to do any of these things. If Buchanan had merely stood up and said, as Jackson did in 1833, "I shall enforce the laws of the United States in spite of any and all resistance that may be made," there might well have been no more of secession in 1860 or 1861 than there had been of real nullification in 1833. And if this step had been taken, and there had been no war, what then? What about slavery? it may be asked. Is it conceivable that northern sentiment would have permitted chattel slavery to continue? Was not war inevitable on that main question alone? Let us see. The sentiment for absolute and sudden emancipation was the product of the war.<noinclude></noinclude> h5zhxd5v5f0civebkfcu2ejcgx3bef3 Page:The Ifs of History (1907).pdf/187 104 4265424 15134361 13355589 2025-06-14T19:41:34Z Beeswaxcandle 80078 /* Validated */ 15134361 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Beeswaxcandle" /></noinclude>Lincoln was not an Abolitionist.

The institution was doomed, morally and economically. But there would have been no negro suffrage. That was enforced by conditions which grew out of the war. The South would not have been impoverished, and it could have afforded a gradual education of the negro in such a way as to fit him for free industry, and, in a limited way, for the exercise of the suffrage.

When General McClellan came to take command after McDowell had been superseded, he reported this state of affairs: "I found no army to command—a mere collection of regiments cowering on the banks of the Potomac, some perfectly raw, others dispirited by defeat."

There are a good many "ifs" in connection with the actual fighting of the battle of Bull Run, but this "if" that comes after it—if the elated and triumphant Confederate army had immediately advanced to the Potomac, invested the intrenchments at Arlington Heights and, very likely, effected a crossing above or near the Great Falls of the river, and flanked the capital of the Union—is the greatest and most interesting of them all. General Beauregard actually commanded at the battle on the 21st, because General Johnston, who ranked him, had but just arrived on the scene and was unfamiliar with the<noinclude></noinclude> ggt4u7sxvg36wf0ul7zqoc3v4q3wuw4 Page:The Ifs of History (1907).pdf/192 104 4265429 15136568 13355595 2025-06-15T08:11:22Z Beeswaxcandle 80078 /* Validated */ 15136568 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Beeswaxcandle" /></noinclude>ground and the disposition of the troops. But he, Johnston, became responsible for the further prosecution of the campaign, once the battle was won. It was in large measure his fault that the fruits of victory were not reaped. The commonly accepted explanation of the matter is that the Confederates were "almost as much disorganized by victory as the Federals were by defeat;" that they had no fresh troops and no cavalry with which to pursue, and that Arlington Heights were too well fortified to be attacked. But General Beauregard, sore at the attempt to rob him of the laurels of victory, has been able to show that all of the Confederate brigades of Ewell, Holmes, D. R. Jones and Longstreet, and two regiments of Bonham's brigade, were perfectly fresh and unharmed after the fight; that Early's brigade had hardly been under fire; that new regiments had<noinclude></noinclude> g39zpj7z62s5v7gf07vpuba7ubdck7w Page:The Ifs of History (1907).pdf/193 104 4265430 15136569 13355596 2025-06-15T08:12:04Z Beeswaxcandle 80078 /* Validated */ 15136569 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Beeswaxcandle" /></noinclude>come up during the day; that the fresh troops in all numbered at least fifteen thousand; that more than half the Confederate army, in fact, had not been engaged—a very unusual proportion after an important battle. "The remaining forces, after a night's rest," says Beauregard himself, "would have been instantly reorganized and found thoroughly safe to join the advance." Apparently nothing but shame on the Northern side, and an unwillingness on the Southern side to discredit their great generals, has prevented a full acknowledgment of the fatal tactics which prevented an advance on the Potomac after Bull Run. Now let us see what would have resulted from a Confederate investment of Washington in the summer of 1861. Federal troops had already been attacked in the streets of Baltimore. That city was preponderantly disloyal, and had to be garrisoned with Union troops.

Maryland, Delaware and Kentucky, all of which were necessary to the maintenance of the Northern position, were slave States, and their loyalty was doubtful. If the capital of the Union had been taken, all these States, in spite of their previous unwillingness to join the secession movement, would probably have been impelled by strong self-interest to range themselves on the side of the other slave States; and the Confederacy would have been strengthened by the addition of at least four States. There was an important party among the Confederates from the western Southern States—it was led by Postmaster-General John H. Reagan and included General Albert Sidney Johnston—who believed in advancing at the very outset into Kentucky and making the Ohio River the first line of Southern defense. The plan was rejected by Davis and his advisers. It was an unfortunate re-<noinclude></noinclude> ql6x0ypmj6aiwrsoxqyoejl2xrfk33f Page:The Ifs of History (1907).pdf/195 104 4265432 15136571 13355598 2025-06-15T08:13:36Z Beeswaxcandle 80078 /* Validated */ 15136571 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Beeswaxcandle" /></noinclude>jection. The Confederacy was finally beaten because it was flanked in the west and cut in two at Vicksburg. But if Washington had been captured or invested after Bull Run, it is certain that the Confederate line would have been pushed to the Ohio, and it would probably have been held there. The advantage gained by McClellan in West Virginia would have been lost, for he would practically have found himself within the Confederate lines and would have been compelled to withdraw into Pennsylvania. Even as matters were, the position of the Union was highly precarious all through the summer and autumn of 1861. There were signs of a demand for peace in the North. Lincoln's own party was turning against him. The sympathy of Europe was rapidly passing over to the Confederacy.

The truce so kindly, so inexplicably permitted by Davis and Lee and Johnston enabled McClellan to organize and drill a great army, to fortify the capital, to spread renewed confidence in the North, and, in short, to establish a fulcrum for future victory. This was not the last time that opportunity knocked at the door of the Confederacy. It knocked again, and loudly, as will be shown in the next chapter, the same year. Either event, taken alone, appears decisive. For as we contemplate the events of the 21st of July, 1861, it quite appears as if the flag of two republics—three, perhaps, and conceivably four—might have been flying over this great American domain to-day if Johnston had pressed his advance down the Warrenton turnpike early Monday morning, July 22d.

But there was a narrower contingency than either one of these. To a positively decisive extent, the success of the National forces in subjugating the Southern States turned on the sea power. The conquest of the Confederacy was in fact a matter of supreme difficulty as it was; and if the South had possessed a respectable navy, and had been able to keep its ports open and steadily exchange its cotton in Europe for the materials and munitions of war, the conquest would not have been possible at all. The chance for the establishment of such a navy lay within the grasp of the Confederate statesmen, and was by them let slip. Neither they, nor any one else at the time, realized how easy the thing would have been.

Nominally the United States navy consisted of ninety vessels, but of these fifty were utterly obsolete and unusable except as supply ships. Of the other forty, twenty were in a state of hopeless unreadiness. Several of the best ships were in the remotest corners of the world. The home squadron was composed of twelve ships, of which only seven were steamers! Nearly fifty years after the invention of steam navigation, the United States depended principally upon sailing vessels for its defense. Only three trustworthy warships were left in Northern waters for the defense of such ports as New York, Boston and Philadelphia. As between the North and the South, the chance to wield the sea power lay with the one of the two rival governments which should first put on the water even a very small fleet of ironclad, steam-driven vessels.

And the ''Alabama's'' armor of chains made her for a time almost a match for the United States navy. By what means could the Confederacy have forestalled the North in the provision of a really effective navy? The chance, as I have said, was offered, and declined, with fatal want of foresight. It lay in the ten steamships of the English East India Company, which in 1861 was winding up its affairs. These ships were offered to the Confederacy at a fair valuation. They were very good vessels, and capable of prompt armoring in at least as effective a style as that<noinclude></noinclude> 58p1xy6lecr4g6sibcpty6okizh5qxd Page:The Ifs of History (1907).pdf/202 104 4265439 15136578 13355605 2025-06-15T08:18:23Z Beeswaxcandle 80078 /* Validated */ 15136578 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Beeswaxcandle" /></noinclude>in which the ''Alabama'' was afterwards armored. The East India Company was prepared to make such terms as the Confederate government could have met. British outfitters were perfectly willing to trust the Southern statesmen. The ships could have been armed in a few weeks; there was nothing to prevent their entrance into Southern ports, for the blockade was not made effective until one year after the war broke out. The ''Otero,'' renamed by the Confederates the ''Florida,'' had no difficulty in taking on her men and guns in the Bahamas. Possessed of ten good steam vessels, commanded by such men as Maury, Maffitt of the ''Florida,'' and Semmes of the ''Alabama,'' the Confederacy could have quickly overcome its lack of mechanics and workshops by importation from Europe.

The start which these ten ships would have given a Confederate navy would have more than put the South even with the North on the sea. It must be remembered that up to 1862, even as it was, the South could do better in the courts and exchanges of Europe than the Union could. Why? Because the South had the cotton, upon which the mills of Europe depended. The continued chance to market cotton would have saved the situation for the South. ''Alabamas'' in any requisite number would have issued from British shipyards.

But the continued insistence of Minister Adams on the unlawfulness of this proceeding, joined with the fact that the Confederates had no recognizable navy to back up their purchases, at last compelled the British government to take these rams over and add them to its own sea power. President Jefferson Davis declined the offer of the East India ships for the apparent reason that the military necessities of the Confederacy pressed hard upon the financial resources of the new government. Every member of his government was quite thoroughly convinced that the National power could not successfully invade the South, provided a strong army were quickly put into the field.

On the other hand, the first levies from the North were mostly city men, unaccustomed to firearms, strangers to exposure, flabby of physique. Manassas amply illustrated the great superiority as soldiers of the first comers from the South over the first comers from the North. The Confederate leaders counted upon making permanent the advantage which they were confident of gaining in the field at the outset. To purchase out of hand ten steamships, from resources that were yet to be created, and with the manhood of seven States demanding to be armed, looked, indeed, like madness.

Conceive the Mississippi, from Cairo southward to its mouth, continuously under the power of the Confederacy, with a fleet of river gunboats backed up by a Gulf squadron. Does any one imagine that in that case the North could have made either any warlike or commercial use of the Ohio, the Cumberland, the Tennessee, or even the Mississippi from Cairo up to St. Louis?

With the English East India Company, it was a case of "take our ships or leave them." The South left them, and with them it left its chance for independence and for putting two mediocre American republics in the place where one great one, after that decisive moment, was bound to stand forever. {{dhr|2}} {{c|{{asc|The end}}}}<noinclude></noinclude> 8skokqruz0hsyjva36ut3nfl6ul90x6 Amharic Basic Course/Volume 2/Reader Unit 3 0 4318093 15136684 13908354 2025-06-15T10:55:01Z 196.188.126.128 15136684 wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[../../]], [[../|Volume 2]] | author =አማርኛ |override_author= by [[Author:Serge Obolensky|Serge Obolensky]], [[Author:Debebow Zelelie|Debebow Zelelie]], and [[Author:Mulugeta Andualem|Mulugeta Andualem]] | translator = | section = Reader Unit 3 | previous = [[../Reader Unit 2|Reader Unit 2]] | next = [[../Reader Unit 4|Reader Unit 4]] | year = 1964 | notes = Reader for [[Amharic Basic Course/Volume 1/Unit 3|Unit 3]], Basic Sentences, Classroom Expressions, and Questions and Answers. | editor = }} 2qdrna0l8h20gsv6jlddgusxsj4cq24 Page:The Spanish Tragedie - Kyd (1602).djvu/24 104 4321976 15134410 13515473 2025-06-14T20:05:28Z Chrisguise 2855804 15134410 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Chrisguise" />{{c|''The Spanish Tragedie.''}}</noinclude>{{ppoem|start=follow|end=follow|Deceiued the King, betraid mine enemie, And hope for guerdon of my villanie. >>>''Exit''. <>''Enter Horatio and Bel-Imperia''. {{em}}''Bel''.

It must have made an enormous difference to the self-collected young Whig to be so sued; for he could not deny the subsequent fact—though it disconcerted him greatly to admit it, even to himself, and he endeavoured strenuously to cheat his conscience and blink the new sensation—that the image of the carver and gilder's frank, transparent, light-hearted little daughter, grown all of a sudden distressed and pitiful, would make his calm, serious heart beat. {{c|(To be continued.) |}} <section end="s1" /> {{rule|20em}} <section begin="s2" /> {{c|ENGLISH WAR SHIPS AND THEIR USES. {{sc|By}} W.

If required to carry much cargo, it must be deep and square and wall-sided. If a sailing vessel, it must perforce have a broader beam than a steamer, to compensate for the leverage of the wind tending to overturn a very narrow vessel. If a steamer intended for war-purposes, there must be space for lodging the crew and for working the guns, unless intended chiefly for speed, in which case the longer the vessel in proportion to width, the faster she may be propelled through the water with a given power. And inasmuch as water naturally runs in rounded sections, the hollow section for the vessel's bottom is the form of least friction against the water. Eight breadths to a length, with hollow lines like those of a bayonet, would give good cleavage of the water; but unless it be very smooth water, the midship section must change to a flat or rounded bottom, or the vessel would be apt to capsize. The question of size is very important, as great size—other things being equal—gives increased speed and greater space for men and machinery, both for working and fighting. There has existed a notion that wooden ships could not hold out against stone walls. One reason for this was, that the stone walls carried the heaviest batteries; yet Nelson at Copenhagen did not hesitate to pit his ships against them, and came off victorious.

It was at once seen that the construction of the curve itself involves the same difficulty as that of <math>\pi</math>. The problem was considered by some of the Sophists, who made futile attempts to connect it with the discovery of "cyclical square numbers," i.e. such square numbers as end with the same cipher as the number itself, as for example 25 = 5<sup>2</sup>, 36 = 6<sup>2</sup>; but the right path to a real treatment of the problem was discovered by Antiphon and further developed by Bryson, both of them contemporaries of Socrates (469—399 {{asc|B.C.}}). Antiphon inscribed a square in the circle and passed on to an octagon, 16agon, &c., and thought that by proceeding far enough a polygon would be obtained of which the sides would be so small that they would coincide with the circle. Since a square can always be described so as to be equal to a rectilineal polygon, and a circle can be replaced by a polygon of equal area, the quadrature of the circle would be performed. That this procedure would give only an approximate solution he overlooked. The important improvement was introduced by Bryson of considering circumscribed as well as inscribed polygons; in this procedure he foreshadowed the notion of upper and lower limits in a limiting process. He thought that the area of the circle could be found by taking the mean of the areas of corresponding in- and circum-scribed polygons. Hippocrates of Chios who lived in Athens in the second half of the fifth century {{asc|B.C.}}, and wrote the first text book on Geometry, was the first to give examples of curvilinear areas which admit of exact quadrature. These figures are the menisci or lunulae of Hippocrates. If on the sides of a right-angled triangle <math>ACB</math> semi-circles are described on the same side, the sum of {{img float |file=Squaring the circle a history of the problem (1913) - illustration - page 15 fig 2.png |align=right |width=250px |cap={{sc|Fig.}} 2}} the areas of the two lunes <math>AEC</math>, <math>BDC</math> is equal to that of the triangle <math>ACB</math>. If the right-angled triangle is isosceles, the two lunes are equal, and each of them is half the area of the triangle. Thus the area of a lunula is found. If <math>AC = CD = DB = </math> radius <math>OA</math> (see Fig. 3), the semi-circle <math>ACE</math> is {{sfrac|1|4|font-size=60%}} of the semi-circle <math>ACDB</math>. We have now {{c|<math>semicircle AB-3 semicircle AC = ACDB - 3 . \text{ meniscus } ACE</math>,}} and each of these expressions is <math>\textstyle \frac{1}{4} semicircle AB</math> or half the circle on <math>AB</math> as diameter.

Such loads, averaging nearly 100 pounds each, seem heavy for marching over such bad and steep and often slippery paths as we had before us, but the Bhutias and Nepalese often carry much more on their own business; and though they go slowly, and stop to rest often, they will do as long a march as we cared to do ourselves in such a hot and trying climate. Blanford arrived from Calcutta early in August, and on the 10th I started all the coolies to await us at Dumsong on the other side of the Tista, and on the 12th started on my pony for the cane bridge, over which it was impossible to ride. It was a pouring wet morning, and as I found a bridge broken in the Rangit valley, I had to walk a good deal further than I liked. The eight miles up a steep ascent of 4,000 feet from the Tista bridge was one of the hardest grinds I ever had in a broiling sun, with the thermometer in the valley over 90°. I got in at dark, however, and found the servants waiting and the coolies gone on. As Blanford had been a little out of sorts and had stayed a day longer at Ging, I managed next morning to borrow a mule from a policeman, which I sent down to meet him at the bridge. I myself followed our coolies, who had gone on about twenty miles along the ridge to a place in the forest where there were a few Bhutia houses, called [[:w:en:Pedong|Pedong]], or Phyndong. Here I had my first night in the small tent we had between us, which was much better adapted for cold than for such a warm climate as this, for during the rainy season it is never cold or even chilly in the forest below 10,000 feet. Blanford joined me the next day, and we soon settled down to routine, which we found best suited to our work on the march. Unless the morning was exceptionally wet, or there was reason for delay, we breakfasted at daylight on tea and chupatties fried in ghee, and started the coolies as soon as the tents and baggage could be packed, but they would never start until they had cooked and eaten their first meal, which took at least an hour and often more, I generally got ahead on the path with one of my shikaris, as I found that in the early morning, before anyone had disturbed the path, I was most likely to find birds feeding on or near it. If I saw anything specially good, I would leave my shikari to get specimens and follow on, and after three to five hours on the road I always tried to halt by a river, or in some agreeable place, for breakfast. We selected one of our best coolies to carry a light load and keep up with one of us, so that no time might be lost in waiting for cooking pots and food. We generally had curry of tomatoes and chicken with our rice, and when there were neither pineapples or bananas, we had some jam and biscuits. At the higher elevations we were sometimes able to get mutton or goat, but found that meat was by no means so necessary for hard work as many people suppose. {{dhr}} {{fine block/s}}Mr. Elwes did not leave any account of this interesting and adventurous expedition into what was then a little-known country.

"The worst possible has happened," he said. "Fagan's directing." I tried to console him. Perhaps I felt that if Upton had shown such good sense in his choice of a press representative his judgment in directors couldn't be altogether wrong.

And he's got a good cast—they won't need much direction: they know how to handle that kind of thing." "It's plain you don't know the game," he said. "If Upton had combed Broadway from Herald Square to Reisenweber's, he couldn't have found a man so superbly equipped to kill the piece. As for poor Sampson, God help him.

The end of the resonator is produced and solid, it has been whittled and fretted to form a scroll. Four triangular holes, their apices conjoined are cut in the lid of the resonator and a block of wood is left attached to the lid just distad of the four holes. The stem is quite straight, somewhat triangular in section, it is very deep from front to back in its lower (distal) portion where it joins the resonator and the back of it here is scrolled and decorated with lines of black dammar; three chevrons of dammar are painted across the back of the stem higher up.

One time when he drew up on the shore he saw a man shuffling along on the ground toward the boat. He crept nearer, and at last took hold of the side with both his hands and jumped in. "When I looked at him," said the merchant, "I found he was an old man without any legs. Astonished, I asked, saying, 'How is it, old man, that you have lost your legs?' "He said in reply, 'I lost my legs on a trip once when I was shipwrecked, and a great fish bit them off.'" "However did that happen?" inquired the merchant.

We rushed here and there, making our escape out of the court back into the rear garden. There were in this enclosure pigs and sheep, about sixty of them in all. There we rushed, in among the pigs and sheep. He floundered about, waving his two arms after us, but not one of us did he get hold of; we were all mixed up—sheep, pigs and people. When he did catch anything it was a sheep; and when it was not a sheep it was a pig. So he opened the front gate to send all the animals out. "We then each of us took a pig or sheep on the back and made straight for the gate. The monster felt each, and finding it a pig or a sheep let it go. Thus we all got out and rushed for the boat. A little later he came and sat on the bank and roared his threatenings at us. A lot of other giants came at his call. They took steps of thirty feet or so, came racing after us, caught the boat, and made it<noinclude></noinclude> om7009bdpwbfayex7k9drzac3zpv3lz Page:The Works of Ben Jonson - Gifford - Volume 4.djvu/108 104 4797914 15134530 14996865 2025-06-14T21:33:24Z Chrisguise 2855804 /* Proofread */ 15134530 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Chrisguise" />{{rvh|104|THE ALCHEMIST.}}</noinclude>{{ppoem|start=stanza|end=stanza|{{em}}''Sub''.{{em}}But, Face, How cam'st thou by this secret don? {{em}}''Face''.{{em}}A spirit Brought me th' intelligence in a paper here, As I was conjuring yonder in my circle For Surly; I have my flies abroad.

The phone was there, but dead. I put it down and set out for Minnie Hershey’s room on the sixth floor. I hadn’t been able to do much with the mulatto so far, but she was apparently devoted to her mistress, and, with the telephone useless, I needed a messenger. I opened the mulatto’s door—lockless as the others—and went in, closing it behind me. Holding a hand over the lens of my flashlight, I snapped it on. Enough light leaked through my fingers to show me the brown girl in her bed, sleeping. The windows were closed, the atmosphere heavy, with a faint stuffiness that was familiar, the odor of a place where flowers had died. I looked at the girl in bed. She was on her back, breathing through open mouth, her face more like an Indian’s than ever with the heaviness of sleep on it. Looking at her, I felt drowsy myself. It seemed a shame to turn her out. Perhaps she was dreaming of—I shook my head, trying to clear it of the muddle settling there. Lilies of the valley, moonflowers—flowers that had died—was honeysuckle one of the flowers? The question seemed to be important. The flashlight was heavy in my hand, too heavy. Hell with it: I let it drop. It hit my foot, puzzling me: who had touched my foot?

That didn't make sense, or did it? I tried to shake my head again, tried desperately. It weighed a ton, and would barely move from side to side. I felt myself swaying; put out a foot to steady myself. The foot and leg were weak, limber, doughy. I had to take another step or fall, took it, forced my head up and my eyes open, hunting for a place to fall, and saw the window six inches from my face. I swayed forward till the sill caught my thighs, holding me up. My hands were on the sill. I tried to find the handles on the bottom of the window, wasn't sure that I had found them, but put everything I had into an upward heave. The window didn't budge. My hands seemed nailed down. I think I sobbed then; and, holding the sill with my right hand, I beat the glass from the center of the pane with my open left. Air that stung like ammonia came through the opening. I put my face to it, hanging to the sill with both hands, sucking air in through mouth, nose, eyes, ears, and pores, laughing, with water from my stinging eyes trickling down into my mouth. I hung there drinking air until I was reasonably sure of my legs under me again, and of my eyesight, until I knew myself able to think and move again, though neither speedily nor surely. I couldn't afford to wait longer. I put a handkerchief over my mouth and nose and turned away from the window. Not more than three feet away, there in the black room, a pale bright thing like a body, but not like flesh, stood writhing before me.

Its feet——it had feet, but I don’t know what their shape was. They had no shape, just as the thing’s legs and torso, arms and hands, head and face, had no shape, no fixed form. They writhed, swelling and contracting, stretching and shrinking, not greatly, but without pause. An arm drifted into the body, was swallowed by the body, came out again as if poured out. The nose stretched down over the gaping shapeless mouth, shrank back up into the face till it was flush with the pulpy cheeks, grew out again. Eyes spread until they were one gigantic eye that blotted out the whole upper face, diminished until there was no eye, and opened in their places again. The legs were now one leg like a twisting, living, pedestal, and then three, and then two. No feature or member ever stopped twisting, quivering, writhing long enough for its average outline, its proper shape, to be seen. The thing was a thing like a man who floated above the floor, with a horrible grimacing greenish face and pale flesh that was not flesh, that was visible in the dark, and that was as fluid and as unresting and as transparent as tidal water. I knew—then—that I was off-balance from breathing the dead-flower stuff, but I couldn’t—though I tried to—tell myself that I did not see this thing. It was there. It was there within reach of my hand if I leaned forward, shivering, writhing, between me and the door. I didn’t believe in the supernatural—but what of that? The thing was there. It was there and it was not, I knew, a trick of luminous paint, a man with a sheet over him. I gave it up.

I was there, and the thing was there, and I stayed where I was. The thing spoke, though I could not say that I actually heard the words: it was as if I simply became, through my entire body, conscious of the words: “Down, enemy of the Lord God; down on your knees.” I stirred then, to lick my lips with a tongue drier than they were. “Down, accursed of the Lord God, before the blow falls.” An argument was something I understood. I moved my handkerchief sufficiently to say: “Go to hell.” It had a silly sound, especially in the creaking voice I had used. The thing’s body twisted convulsively, swayed, and bent towards me. I dropped my handkerchief and reached for the thing with both hands. I got hold of the thing, and I didn’t. My hands were on it, ''in'' it to the wrists, into the center of it, and shut on it. And there was nothing in my hands but dampness without temperature, neither warm nor cold. That same dampness came into my face when the thing’s face floated into mine. I bit at its face—yes—and my teeth closed on nothing, though I could see and feel that my face was ''in'' its face. And in my hands, on my arms, against my body, the thing squirmed and writhed, shuddered and shivered, swirling wildly now, breaking apart, reuniting madly in the black air.

I opened them, struck up and down inside it with stiff crooked fingers, trying to gouge it open; and I could see it being torn apart, could see it flowing together after my clawing fingers had passed; but all I could feel was its dampness. Now another feeling came to me, growing quickly once it had started—of an immense suffocating weight bearing me down. This thing that had no solidity had weight, weight that was pressing me down, smothering me. My knees were going soft. I spit its face out of my mouth, tore my right hand free from its body and struck up at its face, and felt nothing but its dampness brushing my fist. I clawed at its insides again with my left hand, tearing at this substance that was so plainly seen, so faintly felt. And then on my left hand I saw something else—blood. Blood that was dark and thick and real covered my hand, dripped from it, running out between my fingers. I laughed and got strength to straighten my back against the monstrous weight on me, wrenching at the thing’s insides again, croaking: “I’ll gut you plenty.” More blood came through my fingers. I tried to laugh again, triumphantly, and couldn’t, choking instead. The thing’s weight on me was twice what it had been. I staggered back, sagging against the wall, flattening myself against it to keep from sliding down it.

The thing’s greenish pale dampness squirmed over my face and body. Coughing, I stumbled through the thing, to the door, got the door open, and sprawled out in the corridor that was now as dark as the room I had just left. As I fell, somebody fell over me. But this was no indescribable thing. It was human. The knees that hit my back were human, sharp. The grunt that blew hot breath in my ear was human, surprised. The arm my fingers caught was human, thin. I thanked God for its thinness. The corridor air was doing me a lot of good, but I was in no shape to do battle with an athlete. I put what strength I had into my grip on the thin arm, dragging it under me as I rolled over on as much of the rest of its owner as I could cover. My other hand, flung out across the man’s thin body as I rolled, struck something that was hard and metallic on the floor. Bending my wrist, I got my fingers on it, and recognized its feel: it was the over-size dagger with which Riese had been killed. The man I was lolling on had, I guessed, stood beside the door of Minnie’s room, waiting to carve me when I came out; and my fall had saved me, making him miss me with the blade, tripping him. Now he was kicking, jabbing, and butting up at me from his face-down position on the floor, with my hundred and ninety pounds anchoring him there.

A minute or two more and I would be ready to pick him up and get words out of him. But I wasn’t allowed to wait that long. Something hard pounded my right shoulder, then my back, and then struck the carpet close to our heads. Somebody was swinging a club at me. I rolled off the skinny man. The club-swinger’s feet stopped my rolling. I looped my right arm above the feet, took another rap on the back, missed the legs with my circling arm, and felt skirts against my hand. Surprised, I pulled my hand back. Another chop of the club—on my side this time—reminded me that this was no place for gallantry. I made a fist of my hand and struck back at the skirt. It folded around my fist: a meaty shin stopped my fist. The shin’s owner snarled above me and backed off before I could hit out again. Scrambling up on hands and knees, I bumped my head into wood—a door. A hand on the knob helped me up. Somewhere inches away in the dark the club swished again. The knob turned in my hand. I went in with the door, into the room, and made as little noise as I could, practically none, shutting the door. Behind me in the room a voice said, very softly, but also very earnestly: “Go right out of here or I'll shoot you.” Tt was the plump blonde maid’s voice, frightened. I turned, bending low in case she did shoot. Enough of the dull gray of approaching daylight came into this room to outline a shadow sitting up in bed, holding something small and dark in one outstretched hand. “It’s me,” I whispered. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> syqisq0ha3ijf8q1hwss38mpss36vfu Page:Dashiell Hammett - The Dain Curse.pdf/127 104 4817415 15134307 15051032 2025-06-14T19:11:27Z Beardo 950405 /* Validated */ 15134307 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Beardo" />{{rvh|115|||{{asc|God|}}|{{asc|The Dain Curse}}}}</noinclude>“Oh, you!” She didn’t lower the thing in her hand. “You in on the racket?” I asked, risking a slow step towards the bed. “I do what I’m told and I keep my mouth shut, but I’m not going in for strong-arm work, not for the money they’re paying me.” “Swell,” I said, taking more and quicker steps towards the bed. “Could I get down through this window to the floor below if I tied a couple of sheets together?” “I don’t know——Ouch! Stop!” I had her gun—a .32 automatic—in my right hand, her wrist in my left, and was twisting them. “Let go,” I ordered, and she did. Releasing her hand, I stepped back, picking up the dagger I had dropped on the foot of the bed. I tiptoed to the door and listened. I couldn’t hear anything. I opened the door slowly, and couldn’t hear anything, couldn’t see anything in the dim grayness that went through the door. Minnie Hershey’s door was open, as I had left it when I tumbled out. The thing I had fought wasn’t there. I went into Minnie’s room, switching on the lights. She was lying as she had lain before, sleeping heavily. I pocketed my gun, pulled down the covers, picked Minnie up, and carried her over to the maid’s room. “See if you can bring her to life,” I told the maid, dumping the mulatto on the bed beside her. “She'll come around all right in a little while: they always do.” I said, “Yeah?” and went out, down to the fifth floor, to Gabrielle Leggett’s room.

For four flights of down-going I heard nothing, but when I reached the second floor a noise like small thunder was audible below me. Dashing down the remaining flight, I identified it as somebody’s knocking on the front door. I hoped the somebody wore a uniform. I went to the door, unlocked it, and pulled it open. Eric Collinson was there, wild-eyed, white-faced, and frantic. “Where’s Gaby?” he gasped. “God damn you,” I said and hit him in the face with the gun. He drooped, bending forward, stopped himself with hands on the vestibule’s opposite walls, hung there a moment, and slowly pulled himself upright again. Blood leaked from a corner of his mouth. “Where’s Gaby?” he repeated doggedly. “Where'd you leave her?” “Here. I was taking her away. She asked me to. She sent me out first to see if anybody was in the street. Then the door closed.” “You’re a smart boy,” I grumbled. “She tricked you, still trying to save you from that lousy curse.

I started towards it, and stopped. “Listen, son,” I bargained. “I’d like to help your mother, but I’ve got to know where Miss Leggett is first.

He stood with both arms held high and wide-spread, his back and neck bent so that his bearded face was lifted to the sky. In his right hand he held an ordinary horn-handled carving knife, with a long curved blade. He was talking to the sky, but his back was to us, and we couldn’t hear his words. As we came through the door, he lowered his arms and bent over his wife. We were still a good thirty feet from him. I bellowed: “Joseph!” He straightened again, turning, and when the knife came into view I saw that it was still clean, shiny. “Who calls Joseph, a name that is no more?” he asked, and I'd be a liar if I didn’t admit that, standing there—for I had halted ten feet from him, with Collinson beside me—looking at him, listening to his voice, I didn’t begin to feel that perhaps, after all, nothing very terrible had been about to happen. “There is no Joseph,” he went on, not waiting for an answer to his question. “You may now know, as the world shall soon know, that he who went among you as Joseph was not Joseph, but God Himself. Now that you know, go.” I should have said, “Bunk,” and jumped him. To any other man, I would have. To this one I didn’t.

He drew himself up taller, and his white-bearded face was stern. “Go,” he commanded; “go from me before your defiance leads to destruction.” Aaronia Haldorn spoke from where she lay tied on the step, spoke to me: “Shoot. Shoot now—quick. Shoot.” I said to the man: “I don’t care what your right name is. You’re going to the can. Now put your knife down.” “Blasphemer,” he thundered, and took a step towards me. “Now you will die.” That should have been funny. It wasn’t. I yelled, “Stop,” at him. He wouldn’t stop. I was afraid. I fired. The bullet hit his cheek. I saw the hole it made. No muscle twitched in his face; not even his eyes blinked. He walked deliberately, not hurrying, towards me. I worked the automatic’s trigger, pumping six more bullets into his face and body. I saw them go in. And he came on steadily, showing in no way that he was conscious of them. His eyes and face were stern, but not angry. When he was close to me the knife in his hand went up high above his head. That’s no way to fight with a knife; but he wasn’t fighting: he was bringing retribution to me, and he paid as little attention to my attempts to stop him as a parent does to those of a small child he’s punishing.

The first thing I saw was Eric Collinson kneeling beside Gabrielle Leggett, turning her face from the glaring light-beam, trying to rouse her. Next I saw Aaronia Haldorn, apparently unconscious on the altar step, with the boy {{SIC|Manual|Manuel}} crying on her and pulling with too nervous hands at her bonds. Then I saw that I was standing with my legs apart, and that Joseph was lying between my feet, dead, with the dagger through his neck. “Thank God he wasn’t really God,” I mumbled to myself. A brown body in white brushed past me, and Minnie Hershey was throwing herself down in front of Gabrielle Leggett, crying: “Oh, Miss Gabrielle, I thought that devil had come alive and was after you again.” I went over to the mulatto and took her by the shoulder, lifting her up, asking her: “How could he? Didn’t you kill him dead?” “Yes, sir, but—” “But you thought he might have come back in another shape?” “Y-yes, sir. I thought he was—” She stopped and worked her lips together. “Me?” I asked.

His curiosity poked at me with questions, requests to have this or that point made clear, and orders to keep talking whenever I stopped for breath or food. “You could have got me in on it,” he had complained before our soup was in front of us. “I knew the Haldorns, you know, or, at least, had met them once or twice at Leggett’s. You could have used that as an excuse for somehow letting me in on the affair, so that I’d now have first-hand knowledge of what happened, and why; instead of having to depend on what I can get out of you and what the newspapers imagine their readers would like to think had happened.” “I had,” I said, “enough grief with the one guy I did let in on it—Eric Collinson.” “Whatever trouble you had with him was your own fault, for selecting the wrong assistant, when such a better one was available. But come, my boy, I’m listening. Let’s have the story, and then I can tell you where you erred.” “Sure,” I agreed, “you'll be able to do that. Well, the Haldorns were originally actors.

None of them seems to have been let in on the trick stuff. “As actors, Aaronia Haldorn says, she and Joseph were just pretty good, not getting on as well as they wanted to. About a year ago she ran into an old acquaintance—a one-time trouper—who had chucked the stage for the pulpit, and had made a go of it, now riding in Packards instead of day-coaches. That gave her something to think about. Thinking in that direction meant, pretty soon, thinking about Aimee, Buchman, Jeddu what’s-his-name, and the other headliners. And in the end her thinking came to, why not us? They—or she: Joseph was a lightweight—rigged up a cult that pretended to be the revival of an old Gaelic church, dating from King Arthur’s time, or words to that effect.” “Yes,” said Fitzstephan; “Arthur Machen’s. But go on.” “They brought their cult to California because everybody does, and picked San Francisco because it held less competition than Los Angeles. With them they brought a little fellow named Tom Fink who had at one time or another been in charge of the mechanical end of most of the well-known stage magicians’ and illusionists’ acts; and Fink’s wife, a big village-smith of a woman. “They didn’t want a mob of converts: they wanted them few but wealthy.

The stage mechanic Fink was in charge of the remodeling, and did a neat job. They didn’t need the kitchens that were dotted, one to an apartment, through the building, and Fink knew how to use part of that scattered kitchen-space for concealed rooms and cabinets; and he knew how to adapt the gas and water pipes, and the electric wiring, to his hocus-pocus. “I can’t give you the mechanical details now; not till we’ve had time to take the joint apart. It’s going to be interesting. I saw some of their work—mingled right in with it—a ghost made by an arrangement of lights thrown up on steam rising from a padded pipe that had been pushed into a dark room through a concealed opening in the {{SIC|wainscoating|wainscoting}} under a bed. The part of the steam that wasn’t lighted was invisible in the darkness, showing only a man-shape that quivered and writhed, and that was damp and real to the touch, without any solidity. You can take my word for its being a weird stunt, especially when you’ve been filled up with the stuff they pumped into the room before they turned their spook loose on you. I don’t know whether they used ether or chloroform or what: its odor was nicely disguised with some sort of flower perfume. This spook—I fought with it, on the level, and even thought I had it bleeding, not knowing I had cut my hand breaking a window to let air in. It was a beaut: it made a few minutes seem like a lot of hours to me. “Till the very last, when Haldorn went wild, there wasn’t anything crude about their work.

First the perfumed gas was pumped in. Then the illuminated steam spook was sicked on him, with a voice coming out of the same pipe—or maybe there was another arrangement for that—to give him his orders, or whatever was to be given. The gas kept him from being too sharp-eyed and suspicious, and also weakened his will, so he’d be more likely to do what he was told. It was slick enough; and I imagine they squeezed themselves out a lot of pennies that way. “Happening in the victim’s room, when he was alone, these visions had a lot of authority, and the Haldorns gave them more by the attitude they took towards them. Discussion of these visions was not absolutely prohibited, but was discouraged. They were supposed—these spook sessions—to be confidential between the victim and his God, to be too sacred to be bragged about. Mentioning them, even to Joseph, unless there was some special reason for having to mention them, was considered in bad taste, indelicate. See how nicely that would work out? The Haldorns seemed to be ''not'' trying to capitalize on these spook sessions, seemed not to know what took place in them, and therefore to have no interest in whether the victim carried out his spook-given instructions or not. Their stand was that that was simply and strictly a concern of the victim’s and his God's.” “That’s very good,” Fitzstephan said, smiling delightedly, “a neat reversal of the usual cult’s—the usual sect’s, for that matter—insistence on confession, public testimony, or some other form of advertising the mysteries.

Half of them are still willing to string along with Aaronia Haldorn. I showed Mrs. Rodman one of the pipes that the spooks came out of. When she had gasped once and gulped twice she offered to take us to the cathedral and show us that the images there, including the one on the cross, were made out of even more solid and earthly materials than steam; and asked us if we would arrest the bishop on proof that no actual flesh and blood—whether divine or not—was in the monstrance.

I’m not the easiest guy in the world to dazzle, I hope; but he had me going. I came damned near to believing he was God toward the last. He was quite young—in his thirties: they’d had the coloring—the pigment—in his hair and beard killed to give him that Father Joseph front. His wife says she used to hypnotize him before he went into action, and that without being {{SIC|hynotized|hypnotized}} he wasn’t so effective on people. Later he got so that he could hypnotize himself without her help, and toward the last it became a permanent condition with him. “She didn’t know her husband had fallen for Gabrielle till after the girl had come to stay in the Temple.

Yesterday morning he told me he was coming back to see her that evening, and he did come back, but he didn’t see her; and I didn’t see him—not then. “He went back to see Joseph before he came up to the girl’s room, and managed to overhear Joseph giving instructions to the Finks.

Joseph locked Riese up—a prisoner. “They had cut loose on Minnie from the very beginning. She was a mulatto, and therefore susceptible to that sort of game, and she was devoted to Gabrielle Leggett. They had chucked visions and voices at the poor girl until she was dizzy. Now they decided to make her kill Riese. They drugged him and put him on the altar. They ghosted her into thinking that he was Satan—this is serious: they did this—come up from hell to carry Gabrielle down and keep her from becoming a saint. Minnie was ripe for it—poor boogie—and when the spirit told her that she had been selected to save her mistress, that she’d find the annointed weapon on her table, she followed the instructions the spirit gave her. She got out of bed, picked up the dagger that had been put on her table, went down to the altar, and killed Riese. “To play safe, they pumped some of the gas into my room, to keep me slumbering while Minnie was at work. But I had been nervous, jumpy, and was sleeping in a chair in the center of the room, instead of on the bed, close to the gas-pipe; so I came out of the dope before the night was far gone. “By this time, Aaronia Haldorn had made a couple of discoveries: first, that her husband’s interest in the girl wasn’t altogether financial; and second, that he had gone off center, was a dangerous maniac.

He had dreams, she says, of the entire world deluded into belief in his divinity: he didn’t see why that would be any—or much—more difficult than fooling the handful that he had fooled. She thinks he actually had insane notions of his own divinity. I don’t go that far. I think he knew well enough that he wasn’t divine, but thought he could kid the rest of the world. These details don’t make much difference: the thing is that he was a nut who saw no limit to his power. “Aaronia Haldorn had, she says, no knowledge of Riese’s murder until after it was done. Joseph, using the vision-and-voice trick, sent Gabrielle down to see the corpse on the altar step. That would fit in, you see, with his original scheme to tie her to him by playing his divinity against her curse. Apparently, he intended joining her there, and putting on an act of some sort for her. But Collinson and I interrupted that. Joseph and Gabrielle heard us talking at the door, so Joseph held back, not joining her at the altar, and she came to meet us. Joseph’s plan was successful this far: the girl actually believed the curse had been responsible for Riese’s death. She told us she had killed him and ought to be hanged for it. “As soon as I saw Riese’s body I knew she hadn’t killed him. He was lying in an orderly position. It was plain he had been doped before being killed. Then the door leading to the altar, which I imagined was kept locked, was open, and she didn’t know anything about the key.

Aaronia got busy manufacturing evidence to fit the confession. She went up to Gabrielle’s room and got her dressing-gown; got the bloody dagger from where I had dropped it beside the body after taking it from the girl; wrapped the dagger in the dressing-gown, and stuck them in a corner where the police could find them easy enough. Meanwhile, Joseph is working in another direction. He doesn’t—as his wife does—want Gabrielle carried off to jail or the booby-hatch. He wants her. He wants her belief in her guilt and responsibility to tie her to him, not take her away. He remove’s Riese’s remains—tucking them in one of the concealed cabinets—and has the Finks clean up the mess. He’s overheard Collinson trying to persuade me to hush up the doings, and so he knows he can count on the boy—the only other exactly sane witness—to keep quiet if I’m taken care of. “Kill yourself into a hole, and the chances are a time comes when you have to kill yourself out. To this nut Joseph now, ‘taking care of’ me is simply a matter of another murder. He and the Finks—though I don’t think we’re going to prove their part—went to work on Minnie with the spooks again. She had killed Riese docilely enough: why not me? You see, they were handicapped by not being equipped for this wholesale murdering into which they had all of a sudden plunged. For instance, except for my gun and one of the maids’—which they didn’t know anything about—there wasn’t a firearm in the place; and the dagger was the only other weapon—until they got to dragging in carving sets and plumber’s helpers.

Anyway, the idea was that Minnie could be induced to walk up to me and stick the dagger into me in a quiet way. “They had found the dagger again, in the dressing-gown, where Aaronia had stuck it; and Joseph began suspecting that his wife was double-crossing him. When he caught her in the acting of turning on the dead-flower stuff so strong in Minnie’s room that it knocked her completely out—put her so soundly asleep that a dozen ghosts couldn’t have stirred her into action—he was sure of her treachery; and, up to his peck now, decided to kill ''her''.” “His wife?” Fitzstephan asked. “Yeah, but what difference does that make? It might as well have been anybody else for all the sense it makes. I hope you’re not trying to keep this nonsense straight in your mind.

He nodded, grinning, and said that he not only believed it but liked it. “What a childish mind you’ve got,” I said. “Let me tell you the story about the wolf that went to the little girl’s grandmother’s house and—” “I always liked that one, too; but finish this one now. Joseph had decided to kill his wife.” “All right. There’s not much more. While Minnie was being worked on, I popped into her room, intending to rouse her and send her for help. Before I did any rousing, I was needing some myself: I had a couple of lungfuls of the gas. The Finks must have turned the ghost loose on me, because Joseph was probably on his way downstairs with his wife at that time. He had faith enough in his divinity-shield, or he was nutty enough, to take her down and tie her on the altar before he carved her. Or maybe he had a way of fitting that stunt into his scheme, or maybe he simply had a liking for bloody theatricals. Anyway, he probably took her down there while I was up in Minnie’s room going around and around with the ghost. “The ghost had me sweating ink, and when I finally left him and tottered out into the corridor, the Finks jumped me.

I put seven bullets in him.

Vaiden, 49th Vols., left Tuguegarao on a scouting expedition toward Cabagan Nuevo, stopping at the latter place for the night, having thoroughly scoured the country between that point and Tuguegarao. At an early hour the following morning, in compliance with verbal orders from Major Robert Gage, 49th Vols., the command proceeded on a tour through the Cabagan river swamps, taking with them a sergeant of Company E, 16th. Infantry, and a native prisoner as a guide. The command thoroughly scouted the country in their immediate vicinity, closely following dim and almost impassable trails, often wading through mud and water neck deep, but nothing of importance took place until about dark, when a steep embankment near the pueblo of Masipi was reached, where, from the evidence at hand, Capt. Vaiden came to the conclusion that he was nearing an insurgent stronghold. The command was at once divided and preparations made to surround the place. After the surrounding party bad departed an attempt was made to ascend the embankment which was very steep and slippery, making it a difficult task, the men having to assist one another up. Capt. Vaiden was the first up the bank but he had no more than mounted the top when he was halted by a sentry who opened fire which the Captain returned alone until his men had made the ascent when a general fire was opened by the Americans which the "gugus" returned, seriously wounding the native guide. A steady fire was kept up until the surrounding party, which had been delayed by the deep mud and steep slippery embankment along their path, opened fire on the opposite side when the insurgents scattered in every direction. It was impossible for the detachment to follow the enemy as their guide was unable to travel and it was necessary that he should receive medical attention as soon as possible. A careful search was made in the vicinity of the fight which resulted in the location of 1 Krag, 1 Remington and 2 Mauser rifles; 1 {{Nowrap|B. L.}} Remington shotgun, 2 {{Nowrap|U. S.}} cartridge belts, 4 native cartridge boxes filled with ammunition, 1 Krag bayonet and scabbard, 11 bolos, 7 spears, 1,000 rounds of Remington ammunition, 1 brass trumpet, 5 native ponies, $48.50 in Mexican silver, two insurgent muster rolls and a package of very important papers, all of which were taken possession of. The command then made its way to Masipi where the guide was left in the care of friends until the detachment returned to Cabagan Nuevo, when a surgeon visited him. The place where the fight occurred must have been a regular insurgent camp for the place was well located and intrenched. A remarkable protection surrounded the camp, consisting of a series of ditches about four feet wide and four feet deep, in the bottom of which, sharp pointed strips of bamboo had been driven about two inches apart, and in a large tree near the place a "crows nest" had been built which a sentry occupied. The unfortunate guide has since died. {{rule|4em}} <section end="s1" /> <section begin="s2" />{{c|'''AN IMPORTANT INSURRECTO CAPTURED.'''}} {{rule|2em}} On December 13th, while in command of Company E, 16th Infantry, during the illness of the company commander, 1st Sergeant Peter Kramer upon his own responsibility and in company with Privates Thomas Britton, Charles Hagan, Charles E. Probst and John C. Lucht, all of Company E, 16th Infantry, visited the barrio of Gasibarag, Isabela Province, and arrested and placed in confinement one, Alberto Bautista whom, from information he had himself received, Sergeant Kramer suspected with being connected with the insurrectos, and his suspicions were correct for the captive proved to be a captain in the insurgent army and he will be a valuable acquisition to our collection of captives. For their prompt and praiseworthy action in this matter, Sergeant Kramer and his companions have been highly commended by Major Gage, 49th Vols., Sub-District Commander at Tuguegarao. {{rule|4em}} <section end="s2" /> <section begin="s3" />{{c|'''AN ELECTION ANNOUNCED.'''}} {{rule|2em}} Orders in English, Spanish and Ilocano have been issued announcing that an election will be held in this district January 15, 1901, for the purpose of electing a Presidente, a Vice-Presidente and other municipal officers for the various municipalities and barrios in the district, as provided for in General Order 43, series of 1899, Department of the Pacific and Eighth Army Corps.

He is aware that his book will be looked upon as a foolish innovation. Men have learned Latin for hundreds of years without any such book, and why not now as well? But Ælfric's practical experience as a student and as a teacher taught him the wisdom of adapting his work to the child's mind; he would answer his objectors, but he would not be guided by them. 'Whence,' he says, 'are to come wise teachers among God's people, unless they learn in youth?' My book is for young children, not for grown people; I have written in simple language so as not to discourage them. Let any one think as he pleases of my translation, I am satisfied to put in practice the things which I learned in the school of Æthelwold my teacher, who instilled good into many minds.<ref>Compare with this what Ælfric says of Æthelwold as a teacher, p. 40.</ref> The date of this work is about 995, for according to his English preface it followed the second volume of the ''Catholic Homilies''. It would be a satisfaction if we could know who were some of Ælfric's pupils in this school at Cernel. It was his interest in their progress that led him to write his ''Grammar'', and what he says in his prefaces leads us to think that there were boys of noble promise in that school. There is one whom we may without very rash conjecture believe to have been among Ælfric's pupils at this time. Æthelnoth, the son of Æthelmær, many years later than this was a monk, a dean of Christ Church at Canterbury, and in 1020 Archbishop of Canterbury. Thirty years earlier than 1020 he may have been at Cernel in his father's monastery, near his father's home. A glimpse into his character is afforded by the ''Saxon Chronicle'' of 1038, which records: "This year died Æthelnoth, the good archbishop, and Bishop Æthelric in Sussex, who desired of God that he would not let him live long after his be loved father, Æthelnoth; and accordingly, within seven days, he departed.' After 998 the name of Æthelweard no longer appears in<noinclude></noinclude> 86wejyq9zso30ipzpkx8u0noer5rpxm Page:Aelfric - a new study of his life and writings.djvu/92 104 4824435 15136602 15068458 2025-06-15T08:54:36Z ShakespeareFan00 8435 15136602 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Rho9998" /></noinclude>we find Ælfric contending against coarse and subtle superstitions. In the northern and eastern parts of England much heathenism may still have existed openly, and as, especially since Edgar's time, the Scandinavians had found access to the whole land, the old propensity of the Saxons and Angles to the customs of their forefathers was fostered anew. Ælfric included in his Saints' Lives a sermon on the false gods. In this he identifies the Roman gods with those of the Scandinavians, but not with those of the heathen English. From this we may conclude that the English themselves were now quite free from coarse idolatry, and timt{{sic}} he feared for his people on account of contact with the Danes. But various forms of magic were still practised among the English. Against these he speaks in the ''Catholic Homilies'' (I. 366, 474, 476), and preaches a special sermon against thers{{sic}} in the ''Lives of the Saints''.<ref>''On Auguries''; ''Lives of the Saints'', I. 354–383.</ref> Ælfric, in accordance with the custom of the church, allowed various incantations, if only the Triune God were invoked, and not an idol (''Hom''. I. 150, 218). He rejected the curse as wrong, but allowed that it had power (''Hom''. II. 30-38). A part of the old popular belief had passed over under changed names into church belief: the veneration of Mary beside God the Father and the Son, had taken the place of that of Friga beside Wodan and Thonar; and the veneration of saints and of the cross, that of heroes and demi-gods and of the tree. In respect to the invocation of Mary and of the saints, Elfric held by the tradition of the church, but he did not wish such eddress{{sic}} to be mistaken for worship.<ref>See ''Hom''.

Lye and Thorpe have fallen in the passage pointed out by Mr. Hampson in Ælfric's very interesting ''Colloquy,'' is the more remarkable as Ælfric himself afforded a complete illustration of the passage, in his ''Glossary,'' where we have "{{sc|Bulga}}, ''hýdig-fæt.''" It is possible, therefore, that ''higdifatu'' is a mere error of the scribe. Now Du Cange, v. ''Bulga'', cites this very passage from Ælfric's ''Glossary,'' and adds, "i. e. ''vas ex corio confectum''," but his whole article is worth consulting. That the Latin word in the ''Colloquy'' should be ''Cassidilia'' is quite clear. Thus in an old MS. English Gloss on the Bible (penes me), the passage in Tobit, viii. 2., "Protulit de ''Cassidili'' suo," is rendered, "brouzt forth of his ''Scrippe.''" Coverdale has it, "take but of his ''bagge''," and Luther, "langte aus seinem ''Säcklein''," which word is exchanged for ''büdel'' in the Saxon version. In two old Teutonic Glosses on the Bible published by Graff (''Diutiska'', ii. 178.), we have the following variations:— {{block center|<poem>''de cassidi'' burssa, ''de sacello t. sacciperio'' kiula ''de cassili'' burissa, ''de sacello t. sacciperio'' kiulla.</poem>}} Another Gloss in Graff's 1st vol. p. 192., on the word ''Cadus,'' may perhaps throw some light on the subject. The philological student need not be reminded of the wide application of the words ''vas'', Lat., ''fazz'', O.G., and ''fæt'', A.S.; but, for my own part, I conclude that the shoewright intended to designate by ''higdifatu'' all sorts of ''leathern budgets.'' Every Anglo-Saxon student must be so sensible of the great obligation he is under to our distinguished scholar Mr. Thorpe, that I trust it will not be deemed invidious or ungracious to point out another passage in this ''Colloquy'' which seems to have hitherto baffled him, but which it appears to me may be elucidated. To the question, "Hwilce fixas gefehst thu?" the fisherman answers, "Ælas aud hacodas, mynas, aud ælputan, sceotan aud lampredan, aud swa hwylce swa on wætere swymath, ''sprote.''" Mr. Thorpe, in the 1st edition of his Analecta, says, "What is intended to be meant by this word [''sprote''], as well as the ''salu'' [the correspondent word in the Latin], I am at a loss to conjecture." In his second edition, Mr. Thorpe repeats, "I am unable to explain ''salu'' otherwise than by supposing it may be an error for ''salice.''" In his ''Glossary'' he has "spro′t, ii. 2.? sprout, rod?" with a reference to his note. I must confess I cannot see how the substitution of ''salice'' for ''salu'' would make the passage more intelligible, and the explanation of ''spro′te'' in the ''Glossary'' does not help us. The sense required appears to me to be, ''quickly, swiftly'', and this will, I think, be found to be the meaning of ''sprote.'' In the Mœso-Gothic Gospels the word ''sprauto'' occurs several times, and always in the sense of ''cito, subito;'' and though we have hitherto, I believe, no other example in Anglo-Saxon of this adverbial use of the word, we are warranted, I think, in concluding, from the analogy of a cognate language, that it did exist.

Near that village stood an ancient and stately hall, the seat of the Wentworths. The transept of the parish church had long been their burial-place. To that burial-place, in the spring which followed the death of Monmouth, was borne the coffin of the young Baroness Wentworth of Nettlestead. Her family reared a sumptuous mausoleum over her remains; but a less costly memorial of her was long contemplated with far deeper interest: her name carved by the hand of him she loved too well, was, a few years ago, still discernible on a tree in the adjoining park. }} In further proof of identity, Dr. Anster pointed out several charms and recipes which the manuscript volume contains. The conjurations are in general for the purpose of learning the results of sickness in any particular case, and of determining whether friends will be in certain circumstances faithful. There are also incantations for the use of several maladies, and one to make gray hair grow black. No "charms against being wounded in battle," such as Sir John Reresby mentions, are to be found in the volume; but there are some prayers against violent death, which have the appearance of having been transcribed from some devotional book. There is evidently a mistake in supposing that this book contains any charm for breaking open prison doors, and it is likely that Sir John Reresby was misled in this way:—There is in page 7. a charm in French to procure repose of body and mind, and deliverance from pains; and the word for "pains" is written in a contracted form; it might as well stand for prisons; but, examining the context, it is plainly the former word which is meant. The rest of the entries consist of extracts from old recipe-books, mixed in the oddest way with abridgments of English history, and the most trifling memorandums, chiefly of a private and personal kind. Altogether, this commonplace work is highly indicative of the weakness, vanity, and superstition which stood forward so prominently in the character of the rash but unfortunate Duke of Monmouth. {{smallrefs|rule=yes}} {{rule|4em}} {{c|{{asc|QUERIES.}}}} {{c|{{asc|CATHERINE PEGGE.}}}} Mr. Cunningham was mistaken in supposing that I had overlooked Catherine Pegge, for I was well aware that she could not have been Pepys's "pretty Lady." She must, in fact, have attained her fortieth year, and there is no record of her being on the stage; whereas Margaret Hughes had, when Pepys saluted her, recently joined the Theatre Royal, and she is expressly styled "Peg Hughes" by Tom Browne, in one of his "Letter from the Dead to the Living." Having disposed of this question, I am tempted to add that Moran does not confirm the statement that Catherine Pegge married Sir Edward Green, for he says that {{fine block| "Sir Edward Greene, created a Baronet, 26 July, 1660, was seated at Little Sampford in Essex; he had 3 wives, the first was Jeronyma, daughter and coheir of William Everard, of Linsted, Esq., and by her he had 6 daughters, by Mary, daughter of {{longdash}} Tasborough, he had a son; and by the third lady {{longdash}}, daughter of {{longdash}} Simonds, he had a daughter. He was the last of the Greenes that enjoyed this estate, having lost it by gaming."—Morant's ''Essex,'' vol. ii. p. 525. }} This account of the Greene family is stated in a note to have been taken from a fine pedigree on vellum, penes T. Wotton, Gent. If Catherine Pegge was one of the three ladies mentioned above, she must have changed her name previously to her marriage, in hopes of concealing her former history; but the circumstance of the baronetcy being conferred upon Sir Edward is very suspicious. Probably some of your correspondents can settle the question. {{float right|{{sc|Braybrooke.}}}} {{left|{{sm|Audley End, Jan. 19. 1850.}} }} {{rule|4em}} {{c|{{asc|WILLIAM BASSE, AND HIS POEMS.}}}} Can any of your readers inform me where a perfect or imperfect copy is to be found of a poem, of which I possess only a single half sheet, under the following title:— "''Great Brittaines Svnnes-set, bewailed with a Shower of Teares.'' By [[Author:William Basse|William Basse]], At Oxford, Printed by Ioseph Barnes. 1613"? It is one of the many poems published on the death of Prince Henry; and although I have been in search of it, or of a fragment of it, for more than twenty years, I have never been able to obtain tidings of more than of that small portion in my possession; nor am I aware of the mention of it in any bibliographical authority. I have not at hand Sir H. Nicolas's edition of Walton's ''Angler'', in which Basse is spoken of, but I remember looking at that beautiful and costly work a long time ago, and, as far as I recollect, not finding in it anything to my purpose. I observe that a William Basse (or ''Bas'', as the name is there spelt) printed in 1602, 4to., a tract called ''Sword and Buckler, or Serving Man's Defence;'' but I know no more of it than that it was sold in Steevens's sale; and among the MSS. of the late Mr. Heber was a volume of poems called ''Polyhymnia,'' apparently prepared for the press, and dedicated by William Basse to Lady Lindsey, which contained an "Elegie on a rare Singing Bull-finch," dated 19th June, 1648; so that he was still living nearly half a century after he had printed his earliest known performance. The production that Izaac Walton refers to must be the ballad preserved in the Pepys Collection at Cambridge, under the heading "Maister<noinclude><references/></noinclude> 8dqe1rr6jfzkqkwn9zpomt9nbmg7xv7 Page:Notes and Queries - Series 1 - Volume 1.djvu/220 104 4826485 15134652 15074235 2025-06-14T21:56:27Z ShakespeareFan00 8435 15134652 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="Hilohello" />{{rh|210|NOTES AND QUERIES.|[No. 14.}}{{rule}}</noinclude><poem>{{fqm}}I wyll edefy more, with the syght of it Than wyll all the pratynge of holy wryt; For that except that the precher, hym selfe lyue well, His predycacyon wyll helpe neuer a dell, And I know well, that thy lyuynge is nought: ''Thou art an apostata, yf it were well sought'', An homycyde thou art I know well inoughe," &c.</poem> The line omitted is the more remarkable, because it contains an instance of the employment of a word very old in our language, and in use in the best periods of our prose and poetry: "apostata" is explained in the Promptorium, is found in Skelton and Heywood, and so down to the time of Massinger, who was especially fond of it.

I venture to send a note on the subject. I believe it will generally be found that the local tradition makes such collections of bones to be "the grisly gleanings of some battlefield." One of the most noteworthy collections of this kind that I have seen is contained in the crypt of Hythe Church, Kent, where a vast quantity of bones are piled up with great regularity, and preserved with much care. According to a written statement suspended in the crypt, they are the relics of Britons and Saxons slain in a battle fought on the beach in the sixth century; the local tradition is nearly to the same effect, but of course is of little value, as it has most likely arisen from or been conformed to this "written chronicle;" both writing and tradition must indeed be regarded with distrust. It is affirmed in the neighbourhood that the bones were ''dug up'' from the beach; but I, at least, could hear of no tradition as to the period when they were exhumed. Perhaps some resident will ascertain whether any such exists. The bones have all the appearance of considerable antiquity; yet they are in excellent preservation. The skulls are remarkably white and perfect, and are altogether a very curious collection, differing greatly in size, form, and thickness. The holes and fractures in many of them (made evidently during life) leave no doubt that they belonged to persons who met with a violent death. I will not pretend to reply to the concluding queries of your correspondent, but I would just remark that, from what we know of the feeling of our ancestors respecting the remains of the dead, it appears probable that if from any cause a large quantity of human bones were found, or were from any cause obliged to be disturbed, some ecclesiastic or pious layman would take measures to have them removed to some consecrated spot where they mightbe safe from further molestation. They would hardly be treated in any such manner as Dr. Mantell states the bones removed by the railway engineers from the Priory ground at Lewes were treated.

Dodsley was referred to as the arbitrator, when he ridiculed the idea of consulting him on the subject, saying, 'Every fool knows they are in ''Hudihras''.' George Selwyn, who was present, said to Dodsley, 'Pray, sir, will you be good enough, then, to inform an old fool, who is at the same time your wise worship's very humble servant, in what canto they are to be found?' Dodsley took down the volume, but he could not find the passage; the next day came, with no better success; and the sage bibliopole was obliged to confess, 'that a man might be ignorant of the author of this well-known couplet without being absolutely a fool."}} I have also the following memorandum in a common-place book of mine, but I do not remember from what source I transcribed it many years past:— {{smaller block/s}} "The couplet, thus erroneously ascribed to the author of ''Hudibras,'' occurs in a small volume of Miscellaneous Poems, by Sir [[Author:John Mennis|John Mennis]], written in the reign of Charles the Second, which has now become extremely scarce.

I wasn't in San Francisco that morning. I was up in Martinez dickering with a divorced wife of Phil Leach, alias a lot of names. We wanted him for spreading reams of orphan paper through the Northwest, and we wanted him badly. This ex-wife—a sweet-looking little blonde telephone operator—had a fairly recent photograph of Phil, and was willing to sell it. “He never thought enough of me to risk passing any bum checks so I could have things," she complained. “I had to bring in my own share of the nut.

I packed a bag, got my car from the garage, and drove down. Quesada was a one-hotel town pasted on the rocky side of a young mountain that sloped into the Pacific Ocean some eighty miles from San Francisco. Quesada’s beach was too abrupt and hard and jagged for bathing, so Quesada had never got much summer-resort money. For a while it had been a hustling rum-running port, but that racket was dead now: bootleggers had learned there was more profit and less worry in handling domestic hooch than imported. Quesada had gone back to sleep. I got there at eleven-something that night, garaged my car, and crossed the street to the Sunset Hotel. It was a low, sprawled-out, yellow building. The night clerk was alone in the lobby, a small effeminate man well past sixty who went to a lot of trouble to show me that his fingernails were rosy and shiny. When he had read my name on the register he gave me a sealed envelope—hotel stationery—addressed to me in Eric Collinson’s handwriting. I tore it open and read: {{bc|width=12em|''Do not leave the hotel until I have seen you.''{{right|''E.C.''|offset=2em}}}} “How long has this been here?” I asked. “Since about eight o’clock. Mr. Carter waited for you for more than an hour, until after the last stage came in from the railroad.” “He isn’t staying here?” {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 1e1fvq2iixw181ftgnbqknh056ru0o1 Page:Dashiell Hammett - The Dain Curse.pdf/151 104 4826895 15136109 15075314 2025-06-15T01:16:17Z Gnuish 365821 /* Validated */ 15136109 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Gnuish" />{{rvh|139|||{{asc|The Cliff Road|}}|{{asc|The Dain Curse}}}}</noinclude>“Oh, dear, no. He and his bride have got the Tooker place, down in the cove.” Collinson wasn’t the sort of person to whose instructions I’d pay a whole lot of attention. I asked: “How do you get there?” “You'd never be able to find it at night,” the clerk assured me, “unless you went all the way around by the East road, and not then, I’m sure, unless you knew the country.” “Yeah? How do you get there in the daytime?” “You go down this street to the end, take the fork of the road on the ocean side, and follow that up along the cliff. It isn’t really a road, more of a path. It’s about three miles to the house, a brown house, shingled all over, on a little hill. It’s easily enough found in the daytime if you remember to keep to the right, to the ocean side, all the way down. But you’d never, never in the world, be able to find—” “Thanks,” I said, not wanting to hear the story all over again. He led me up to a room, promised to call me at five, and I was asleep by midnight. The morning was dull, ugly, foggy, and cold when I climbed out of bed to say, “All right, thanks,” into the phone. It hadn’t improved much by the time I had got dressed and gone downstairs. The clerk said there was not a chance in the world of getting anything to eat in Quesada before seven o’clock. I went out of the hotel, down the street until it became a dirt road, kept to the dirt road until it forked, and turned into the branch that bent toward the ocean.<noinclude></noinclude> fspejvu1dc3dbcv9qia7hij138tp2bj Page:Dashiell Hammett - The Dain Curse.pdf/152 104 4827247 15136119 15076409 2025-06-15T01:22:43Z Gnuish 365821 /* Validated */ 15136119 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Gnuish" />{{rvh|140|||{{asc|The Cliff Road|}}|{{asc|The Dain Curse}}}}</noinclude>This branch was never really a road from its beginning, and soon was nothing but a rocky path climbing along the side of a rocky ledge that kept pushing closer to the water's edge.

The feet lay on the top of a water-smoothed boulder, lay on their sides, six inches apart, both pointing to the left. From the feet, dark-trousered legs slanted down into the water, disappearing beneath the surface a few inches above the knees. That was all I could see from the cliff road. I went down the cliff, though not at that point. It was a lot too steep there to be tackled by a middle-aged fat man. A couple of hundred yards back, the path had crossed a crooked ravine that creased the cliff diagonally from top to bottom. I returned to the ravine and went down it, stumbling, sliding, sweating and swearing, but reaching the bottom all in one piece, with nothing more serious the matter with me than torn fingers, dirty clothes, and ruined shoes. The fringe of rock that lay between cliff and ocean wasn't meant to be walked on, but I managed to travel over it most of the way, having to wade only once or twice, and then not up to my knees. But when I came to the spot where the feet and legs were I had to go waist-deep into the Pacific to lift the body, which rested on its back on the worn slanting side of a mostly submerged boulder, covered from thighs up by frothing water. I got my hands under the armpits, found solid ground for my feet, and lifted. It was Eric Collinson's body. Bones showed through flesh and clothing on his shattered back. The back of his head—that half of it—was crushed. I dragged him out of the water and put him down on dry rocks. His dripping pockets contained a hundred and fifty-four dollars and eighty-two cents, a watch, a knife, a gold<noinclude></noinclude> 1vuf436lhuu16vaqqradlobu7l9osl4 Page:Poems (Helen Jenkins).djvu/1 104 4827299 15136028 15076557 2025-06-15T00:34:42Z InfernoHues 3178880 /* Validated */ 15136028 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="InfernoHues" /></noinclude>[[File:Poems Helen Jenkins p1.jpg|center|400px|alt=Poems by Mrs. H.

I spread out the papers, letters, and book; and read them; and learned nothing except that what was written in them hadn’t anything to do with his death. I couldn’t find anything else—on him or near him—to tell me more about his death than the uprooted bush, the hat caught between rocks, and the position of his body had told me. I left him there and went back to the ravine, panting and heaving myself up it to the cliff path, returning to where the bush had grown. I didn’t find anything there in the way of significant marks, footprints, or the like. The path was chiefly hard rock. I went on along it. Presently the cliff began to bend away from the ocean, lowering the path along its side. After another half-mile there was no cliff at all, merely a bush-grown ridge at whose foot the path ran. There was no sun yet. My pants stuck disagreeably to my chilly legs. Water {{SIC|squunched|squinched}} in my torn shoes. I hadn’t had any breakfast. My cigarettes had got wet. My left knee ached from a twist it had got sliding down the ravine. I cursed the detective business and slopped on along the path. The path took me away from the sea for a while, across the neck of a wooded point that pushed the ocean back, down into a small valley, up the side of a low hill; and then I saw the house the night clerk had described. It was a rather large two-story building, roof and walls brown-shingled, set on a hump in the ground close to where the ocean came in to take a quarter-mile u-shaped bite out of the coast. The house faced the water. I was behind it. There was nobody in sight. The ground-floor windows were closed, with drawn blinds.

Off to one side were some smaller farm buildings. I went around to the front of the house. Wicker chairs and a table were on the screened front porch. The screened porch-door was hooked on the inside. I rattled it noisily. I rattled it off and on for at least five minutes, and got no response. I went around to the rear again, and knocked on the back door. My knocking knuckles pushed the door open half a foot. Inside was a dark kitchen and silence. I opened the door wider, knocking on it again, loudly. More silence. I called: “Mrs. Collinson.” When no answer came I went through the kitchen and a darker dining room, found a flight of stairs, climbed them, and began poking my head into rooms. There was nobody in the house. In one bedroom, a .38 automatic pistol lay in the center of the floor. There was an empty shell close to it, another under a chair across the room, and a faint odor of burnt gunpowder in the air. In one corner of the ceiling was a hole that a .38 bullet could have made, and, under it on the floor, a few crumbs of plaster. The bed-clothes were smooth and undisturbed. Clothes in the closet, things on and in table and bureau, told me this was Eric Collinson’s bedroom. Next to it, according to the same sort of evidence, was Gabrielle’s bedroom. Her bed had not been slept in, or had been made since being slept in. On the floor of her closet I found a black satin dress, a once-white handkerchief, and a pair of black suede slippers, all wet and muddy—the handkerchief also wet with blood.

On her dressing-table was a small piece of thick white paper that had been folded. White powder clung to one crease. I touched it with the end of my tongue—morphine. I went back to Quesada, changed my shoes and socks, got breakfast and a supply of dry cigarettes, and asked the clerk—a dapper boy, this one—who was responsible for law and order there. “The marshal’s Dick Cotton,” he told me; “but he went up to the city last night. Ben Rolly’s deputy sheriff. You can likely find over him at his old man’s office.” “Where’s that?” “Next door to the garage.” I found it, a one-story red brick building with wide glass windows labeled ''J. King Rolly, Real Estate, Mortgages, Loans, Stocks and Bonds, Insurance, Notes, Employment Agency, Notary Public, Moving and Storage,'' and a lot more that I’ve forgotten. Two men were inside, sitting with their feet on a battered desk behind a battered counter. One was a man of fifty-and, with hair, eyes, and skin of indefinite, washed-out tan shades—an amiable, aimless-looking man in shabby clothes. The other was twenty years younger and in twenty years would look just like him. “I’m hunting,” I said, “for the deputy sheriff.” “Me,” the younger man said, easing his feet from desk to floor. He didn’t get up. Instead, he put a foot out, hooked a chair by its rounds, pulled it from the wall, and returned his feet to the desk-top. “Set down. This is Pa,” wiggling a thumb at the other man. “You don’t have to mind him.” {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 1wbmiafq0krdlbss7ajyxt3tc8p91un Page:Dashiell Hammett - The Dain Curse.pdf/157 104 4828291 15136387 15079080 2025-06-15T03:25:07Z Beardo 950405 /* Validated */ 15136387 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Beardo" />{{rvh|145|||{{asc|The Cliff Road|}}|{{asc|The Dain Curse}}}}</noinclude>“Know Eric Carter?” I asked. “The fellow honeymooning down to the Tooker place?

It could have been an accident.” The father looked at the son with round tan eyes. The son looked at me with questioning tan eyes and said: “Tch, tch, tch.” I gave him a card. He read it carefully, turning it over to see that there was nothing on its back, and passed it to his father. “Go down and take a look at him?” I suggested. “I guess I ought to,” the deputy sheriff agreed, getting up from his chair. He was a larger man than I had supposed—as big as the dead Collinson boy—and, in spite of his slouchiness, he had a nicely muscled body. I followed him out to a dusty car in front of the office. Rolly senior didn’t go with us. “Somebody told you about it?” the deputy sheriff asked when we were riding. “I stumbled on him. Know who the Carters are?” “Somebody special?” “You heard about the Riese murder in the San Francisco temple?” “Uh-huh, I read the papers.” “Mrs. Carter was the Gabrielle Leggett mixed up in that, and Carter was the Eric Collinson.” “Tch, tch, tch,” he said. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 5xqdflrozqwwijzwobefcej2zhz7lnk Page:Dashiell Hammett - The Dain Curse.pdf/158 104 4828298 15136390 15079091 2025-06-15T03:28:15Z Beardo 950405 /* Validated */ 15136390 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="Beardo" />{{rvh|146|||{{asc|The Cliff Road|}}|{{asc|The Dain Curse}}}}</noinclude>“And her father and step-mother were killed a couple of weeks before that.” “Tch, tch, tch,” he said. “What’s the matter with them?” “A family curse.” “Sure enough?” I didn’t know how seriously he meant that question, though he seemed serious enough. I hadn’t got him sized up yet. However, clown or not, he was the deputy sheriff stationed at Quesada, and this was his party. He was entitled to the facts. I gave them to him as we bounced over the lumpy road, gave him all I had, from Paris in 1913 to the cliff road a couple of hours ago. “When they came back from being married in Reno, Collinson dropped in to see me.

I made him promise to wire me if he saw anything funny. Well, he did.” Rolly nodded three or four times, then asked: “What makes you think he didn’t fall off the cliff?” “He sent for me. Something was wrong. Outside of that, too many things have happened around his wife for me to believe in accidents.” “There’s the curse, though,” he said. “Yeah,” I agreed, studying his indefinite face, still trying to figure him out. “But the trouble with it is it’s worked out too well, too regularly. It’s the first one I ever ran across that did.” He frowned over my opinion for a couple of minutes, and then stopped the car. “We'll have to get out here: the road ain’t so good the rest of the way.” None of it had been. “Still and all, you do hear of them working out. There’s things that happen that makes a fellow think there’s things in the world—in life—that he don’t know much about.” He frowned again as we set off afoot, and found a word he liked. “It’s inscrutable,” he wound up. I let that go at that. He went ahead up the cliff path, stopping of his own accord where the bush had been torn up, a detail I hadn’t mentioned.

Rolly looked from the corpse to the edge of the path high above us, and complained: “I don’t hardly see how he could have landed just thataway.” “He didn’t. I pulled him out of the water,” I said, showing the deputy exactly where I had found the body. “That would be more like it,” he decided.

Here they shared their common dreams, hopes and miseries. It was Soma who had introduced her to that circle. A tall thin youth from Warsaw with small burning eyes that seemed to be in perpetual fever. This Sunday morning he was in the grip of a strange dream: trying to select a suitable tie, but failed in his efforts. Somehow his hands were powerless, the colors all mixed up, and deep inside him, like an alarm clock, a voice kept repeating, "hurry up, hurry up, it is late for work." The sleeping man forced his eyes open, looked at the clock near the window, and then yawned with relief. "A silly dream," he thought. He put his head snugly down on the pillow and once again plunged into his dream of ties. This time it is a hot summer day. The ties glitter in all colors of the rainbow. Anna is there, helping him to make a choice. She does not like the red one he has chosen, "The color loud" "the knot is too tight," she says; she prefers the loosely tied cravats- "''à la Montparnasse.''"

I showed Rolly the stained towels, handkerchief, dress, and slippers; the paper that had held morphine; the gun on Collinson’s floor, the hole in the ceiling, and the empty shells on the floor. “That shell under the chair is where it was,” I said; “but the other—the one in the corner—was here, close to the gun, when I saw it before.” “You mean it’s been moved since you were here?” “Yeah.” “But what good would that do anybody?” he objected. “None that I know of, but it’s been moved.” He had lost interest. He was looking at the ceiling. He said: “Two shots and one hole. I wonder. Maybe the other went out the window.” He went back to Gabrielle Collinson’s bedroom and examined the black velvet gown. There were some torn places in it—down near the bottom—but no bullet-holes. He put the dress down and picked up the morphine paper from the dressing table. “What do you suppose this is doing here?” he asked. “She uses it.

They listened to our stories, looked the ground over, and agreed with Rolly that Gabrielle Collinson had killed her husband. When Marshal Dick Cotton—a pompous, unintelligent man in his forties—returned from San Francisco, he added his vote to the others. The coroner and his jury came to the same opinion, though officially they limited themselves to the usual “person or persons unknown,” with recommendations involving the girl. The time of Collinson’s death was placed between eight and nine o’clock Friday night. No marks not apparently caused by his fall had been found on him. The pistol found in his room had been identified as his. No fingerprints were on it. I had an idea that some of the county officials half suspected me of having seen to that, though nobody said anything of that sort. Mary Nunez stuck to her story of being kept home by chills. She had a flock of Mexican witnesses to back it up. I couldn’t find any to knock holes in it. We found no further trace of the man Whidden had seen. I tried the Bakers again, by myself, with no luck.

To-day you have done good service to your mountain land. The knowledge you have brought will save more lives than there are leaves on that young tree behind you. Besides, if all goes well, as it must go since we prepare in time, you save your people from defeat, from vanquishment, from tyranny and death. For once these Slavs gain foothold they take root. And you have heard what justice is with them. Hoti and Gruda know from years of sorrow. Castrati does not want to know. And if Castrati goes under the Slavic heel, who shall save Skodra, and our mountain villages east and south? Our men stand now at the door of Albania—the door to her very heart. We hold the key—as yet. To-day, had you not listened bravely and so well, we might have lost that key, and losing that we should have lost the power to hold the door.

The chief called a young runner. “Take this girl to where the safe trail lies to the east. She is for Skodra.” “Smooth peace upon you,” answered Pran and followed the guide away. Already as she went word flew from one group of waiting men to the next. She could see the ragged marching lines starting away in wandering irregular formation, going steadily toward the two danger spots. Would they be in time? And if they were, could they repulse the Slavs? How could she go, not knowing? Such a fight as this might turn the fortune of the war itself. Had not the chief implied as much in talking with her? She would not go back—not till she knew the outcome. And she would wait now and see Ndrek and say good-bye once more. She called the guide. “I’ll go no farther. You can leave me here.” He went away. Pran climbed a little knoll on the clear way the men must pass going north. Here she would wait. She watched the men troop by. They all went fast, an eagerness in step and bearing.

No wonder they went gladly. To what? For a moment Pran’s heart misgave her. What was this she had done? Sent them, with rifles ready, to a place where danger surely waited—maybe death. “But better this,” she thought, “than surprise—and massacre.” At least they went prepared. She watched the straight, tall figures trooping by. She scanned the ranks for Ndrek. There he was—at last! He saw her, stepped aside. “You have not gone?” “I lost my way close to the enemy lines. I heard men talk of this attack that you go now to stop. I told the chief, Marash Vata.” “You!” said Ndrek. But Pran had no reply for the look of wonder and dawning pride that filled his eyes. Only she thought of him and how he went now to the battle she had sent him to. Doubt swept her soul again. “I meant to do right, Ndrek.” “You did right, Pran.” “Good-bye, my father.” “Good-bye, my daughter,” he answered her and held her for a moment by the shoulders.

He left her then to follow after the rest. Still the men came, but there were fewer now. Soon they would all go and leave her here to wait alone. She sat cross-legged on the little hill unseen by those that passed. At length no more came by. She was alone. Here she would wait, wait until she could learn whether Albania had kept the door—whether Ndrek would come safe through this danger and violence she had sent him to. She did not eat. She did not think of food. She sat there in the soft grass and leaned her head against a little tree. A long, long time she sat this way, unmoving. The sun had passed noon when the rifles started. She could hear their crackling easily from here. Words of an old song came to her, a song some of the refugees had sung by the barrack fires at night. {{ppoem| {{fqm|“}}What is this thunder borne on the wind?

Men—her men—firing at the foe. But some of these sounds were sounds of Slavic rifles—bullets that sped this way—into the midst of the straight, fearless men she had seen march out only a short while back. Suddenly her heart rose in her throat to choke her. Tears started back of her eyes. What if Ndrek should stop one of those singing things? What if her bear’s-tooth talisman should not avail to save him at the last? Sitting there alone in the green world of leaves and grass Pran listened despairingly, dropping her head down on her raised arms, and then, as the sound rose to a loud roaring, she raised two hands and stopped her ears with them—clenched fists to keep out the sound of this flying cruelty and death—so far away from her and yet so near to every one of those she had seen go by—and to Ndrek—Ndrek—Ndrek! Hours she sat so, motionless—thinking no thoughts, feeling within her heart a surge of dread, a hatred of this violent thing safety seemed built on, laws seemed bastioned with—and men must die of. This they had fled from, she and the boys and Lukja, and all Thethi, moving sadly from cold hearths. This they had sent their men to dauntlessly. “For liberty let me die!” the song had said. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 02e2vuzjxa87bqkb565y9rnort8upd3 Page:Pran of Albania.djvu/197 104 4835362 15134069 15097473 2025-06-14T15:56:53Z SurprisedMewtwoFace 2974010 /* Validated */ 15134069 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="SurprisedMewtwoFace" />{{rvh|179|BACK TO THETHI|PRAN OF ALBANIA}}</noinclude>he said and brought his eyes back to Pran’s. “It is the money the people gave Lul for dancing. She always gave it to me. You thought I spent it for food, but I did not. I saved some of it every time. Hungry or not, I saved it, fearing the time when Pran and the others should leave us alone again. I saved it not for myself—or Dil—only for Lul.” His dark eyes fell. “She is so little—she is not strong—and—besides—she is my sister.” His voice had fallen nearly to a whisper, and on the last words it broke in a little sob. He swallowed—controlled himself. “I did not do wrong, keeping it for her,” he said more bravely, looking up at Pran. “No, Notz,” Pran answered, “but{{longdash}}” He interrupted her. “Take it now, Pran. Give it to Lukja. She can buy chickens from a village where the soldiers have not been. Then there will be eggs and some meat for all of us before the harvest comes.” Pran carried it to Lukja joyfully. That summer the chickens bought with Notz’s secret hoard did much to help Lukja feed her hungry brood. Meanwhile an early spring had made planting early, and a plentiful harvest saved them all from real starvation. By fall, life was settled somewhat into its old channels.

Notz worked with Ndrek in the fields, and the twins took the tiny flock of sheep and goats Ndrek had mustered out to the pastures. Lul learned to knit, and some days she went with the twins to sit in the grass and ply her needles while they watched the animals and blew on the shepherd pipes that Gjon had made. Some days she stayed at home and played about or helped the girls work. She was rosy now, rosy and happy. The mountain air had driven the poison of the fever out of her body. Ndrek went to far villages, where animals were plentiful, and traded some of his corn for goats and sheep. He was eager to build up his herds again, and wool was needed, with so many now to clothe. He traveled long distances, his rifle on his back and round his waist his belt of cartridges. Lukja said to Pran, “Of course he takes his gun, being a man. But truth is he has little need to use it now. He travels safer than he ever has.” “Why?” asked Pran. “The war last year, as evil as it was, brought good along with it!” said Lukja. “The bessa that the tribes made when the Slavs came in has been renewed.

No one takes blood payment for a while. Ndrek is safe even on enemy land. God grant it lasts!” She crossed herself. So Ndrek went along trails where even a year ago his life or that of any man of Shala tribe would not have been safe for the distance of ten steps. Thinking of this Pran felt a thankfulness. “The wound the war made bleeds no more,” she said to Dil that night as they lay under their blanket together. “The herd grows; the corn is gathered; even Ndrek lives safer than before. Now you shall know Thethi life at its best.” “Time is the best medicine,” answered Dil. “It is already autumn. To-day the leaves began falling. And last week when I was in Skodra I saw three brides in bridal clothing walking through the street. It is the wedding season.” Pran laughed softly, for in the darkness about them all the rest slept. She whispered, “We shall have to find a husband some day for you, Dil. Then you will no longer live in exile but have a home of your own. You will like that.” “There is time for all things,” said Dil, “and I do not want to leave Lukja so soon.

You have never said.” “Not I,” said Pran. “Lukja was not betrothed till late herself and wished it not for me. I know some girls are promised from the day that they are born, or even before birth, but I was not. I am not sorry. I love my own home and do not wish to wed myself too early. I should think it hard—a sad thing even—to go to a strange house and wed a man unseen by me before, a stranger really. I have always wanted the years to pass less swiftly toward the marriage time; for it must come—to all of us.” “Some women do not marry,” Dil replied. “They turn morgeshe—nuns. You’ve seen the mountain nuns?” “Once I saw one,” said Pran. “The man she had been betrothed to died, and she took the virgin’s vow and did not change it. She wore men’s clothing, even bore a rifle, and cut her hair.” “One can choose such a life,” said Dil. “There was such a one in Prifti, I remember. Her betrothed had not died; she only chose never to marry. One has that right, of course. Myself, I would not take a vow like that. Better a home and children.” Dil yawned. “We talk too long, Pran.

We should be sleeping. Good-night. May you see good things in the night.” “Good-night, Dil,” answered Pran. “Sleep easily.” She herself turned to sleep but could not. Dil’s words had roused her to thinking. Yes, she was older now. Many a girl her age would marry this very season. She knew that. What if some day Lukja should call her to her and tell her of betrothal plans and the marriage day? Her heart beat faster a little. “I am not old enough,” she told herself, “and Lukja needs me. Her back is not so strong as it once was to bring in wood and water. She will not send me off to a husband early.” She turned restlessly, hearing Dil’s steady breathing at her side. “Some day, perhaps, some day. Not yet.” She drowsed. Half dreams passed through her head. She seemed to see again, as she often had since the war, the dark cave where she had listened to the spies talking. Again she saw the men go bravely out—return again, ragged, victorious. Their faces crowded past her dreaming mind. One face stood clearly out—a voice called—Nush’s face. Nush, wounded! Pran started, suddenly awake. She sat up, open eyed, staring into the thick dark, lit only by the tiny glow of coals on the banked hearth. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> jiu9r3to56e3jc63lzvdbj95jqm7mki Page:Pran of Albania.djvu/202 104 4835476 15134319 15097851 2025-06-14T19:19:06Z SurprisedMewtwoFace 2974010 /* Validated */ 15134319 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="SurprisedMewtwoFace" />{{rvh|184|CHAPTERNAME|PRAN OF ALBANIA}}</noinclude>Where was Nush now?

Perhaps—the twins{{longdash}}” Why had she not thought of them? It was with them that she had first seen Nush. To-morrow she would ask them. They went far with the flocks. She’d talk to Gjon. Besides, the bessa held still. Likely enough Nush could go freely now, live openly. Certain it was he had dressed like a Maltsor that day of the border fight. She’d ask Gjon. And if Gjon could not help, she herself would make inquiries when she went to the bazaar. “But”—her heart misgave her—“I do not even know his father’s name nor where he lives. There are a thousand Nushes in these hills.” She gave a little rueful laugh in the stillness of the dark room. She lay down and pulled the blanket round her. But an evil thought seized her: “What if Nush had died?” Some wounds got poisonous and killed a man. She shuddered. Yes, she must ask Gjon to-morrow. She felt Dil’s body near her. Why not tell Dil?

She could not now—not when Dil had spoken so of growing up and wedding. Dil would think it odd for her to seek to meet so secretly a strange young man—for now he was a man, no doubt of that. Had he not carried a rifle at the border with the rest—and fought, even as they? She would ask Gjon. She curled herself up to sleep. When the morning came she went down the stairs with Nik and Gjon and followed them outside. “Gjon,” she said, “you remember the big boy, Nush, who saved Nik’s life when we went honey-hunting long ago? Since we came back to Thethi have you ever met him or seen him passing on the trail when you were out?” At first both boys looked blank, and then Nik turned away, his eyes avoiding hers. Gjon reddened; then, shamefaced, as if remembering, he said, “Pran, I should have told you. Last week Nik saw that boy in the bazaar. He dresses as a man now—wears a gun. I meant to tell you of it. Nik told me, for Nush gave him a message for you.” Pran’s heart beat fast. A message! And Nik had seen him! “Nik!” she called. Nik turned unwillingly. “Cha don?

Nik stood before her, silent. Then his eyes twisted away from hers. He dug a shamed toe into the earth and spoke low, reluctantly: “Yes, I did see him. I told Gjon, and I meant to tell you too, but I forgot.” He stopped. Pran spoke impatiently: “For heaven’s sake, Nik, tell me what he said. Don’t stand there like a silly—dumb as a rock.” Nik went on, still unwillingly. “It was last week—Wednesday—that I saw him. He—he said to tell you to meet him in three days—at the same tree where we had found the honey long ago. He said to be there early—he would wait.” “Oh—Nik!” Pran hardly could keep back tears of exasperation, disappointment. “Oh, ''Nik''—and ten days have passed since then. He told you that—and you forgot so long? How could you?” Her voice grew hard. “I can’t forgive you, Nik.” Nik’s eyes besought her. “Really I meant to, Pran.

You are a little blockhead—nothing else.” She spoke to Gjon. “You do not know all that Nush did for us. It was really Nush who saved me when I was in grave danger at the border.” She let her voice drop. “And it was really Nush that saved Ndrek—so that he came back to us—unhurt. We owe him much —and I—” she spoke unsteadily—“I wanted to thank him. Now{{longdash}}” Nik touched her arm. “Listen, muttra, I have not forgotten everything.

I think of her always. Tell her not to forget me either.” Nik drew a deep breath. “There—that was all of it—that and the words to meet him by the tree.” Pran’s bitterness against Nik faded away. She smiled, but scolded still. “Castrovetsa, you cucumber! You are not old enough for messages, though Gjon here would have been. Is this last message true! Were those his words?” She doubted. “Po, sha Zoten, yes, by the heavens,” said Nik. “He speaks truth.” Gjon moved an assenting head. “Well, go then, both of you. Take your flocks and keep a sharp lookout. When next you see Nush—if you ever do—tell him Gjon is my messenger, not you, Nik.” “I am sorry,” murmured Nik repentantly. “Run along now,” Pran ordered. “Your sheep will starve if we stand talking here.” They went, Nik looking back a dozen times, until Pran waved a forgiving hand. That day and all day, while she was busy with her household tasks, her mind went over all that Nik had said. She rehearsed each word of Nush’s to herself. He had asked for her—asked her to meet him.

Her chin trembled like the chin of a little child who feels tears coming. She did not move, yet she could feel herself thrust this thing from her—push away Lukja’s words. “No, Nona, no,” she cried out softly, “I am not yet betrothed. You said yourself you did not like a girl’s being promised early—at birth or when a child. You told me.” Pran clung desperately to these old words of Lukja’s, though as she spoke hope ebbed. With Lukja’s next words hope vanished. “No, I did not betroth you early, Pran. I let you live and grow—freely—unpledged to any man. Perhaps I was not wise. But now you are a child no longer.” There was a sternness now in Lukja’s voice, almost impatience.

She put her two arms around Pran, holding her. And Pran bent her head down against her mother’s shoulder, keeping her sobs back, weeping inside her heart. Lukja’s tone now was tender, and the love that was in her for her only girl found its way into her voice, “Pran, my little heart—Pran, you must not feel sorrow over this.” There was silence then, only Pran’s drawn sharp breaths sounded in the room. Lukja went on, her hand stroking the bent kerchiefed head pressing her shoulder. “It is a woman’s life—to grow, and wed, and go to her own home; make children, work, and take her joy in this; her man, her family, her house. It is the way of life.” And then, as if to herself, “I have done wrong not telling you so long. I, like yourself, Pran, wanted you a child—at home—with us.” Tears forced themselves out from under Pran’s<noinclude></noinclude> mtsriuubjak14ext6h8o5w8lhxwrhx5 Page:Pran of Albania.djvu/216 104 4836122 15136666 15099657 2025-06-15T10:26:46Z SurprisedMewtwoFace 2974010 /* Validated */ 15136666 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="SurprisedMewtwoFace" />{{rvh|198|CHAPTERNAME|PRAN OF ALBANIA}}</noinclude>closed lids. She raised her head and with her kerchief’s end wiped them away. Lukja dropped her arms, and Pran took her mother’s two hands in hers and sat there, on her heels, her head bent down. For a time neither spoke. Then Pran said, “Nona, to whom am I betrothed?” “My sparrow, you will go to a good man—who from his father owns much fertile land, though far—he is of Merturi. Prendnush is his name. Prendnush, Son-of-Prenk, of Rai.” She paused, went on: “Ndrek loves you even more than other fathers love their daughters. You know that yourself. You were our first-born, and for long the only child. When it looked as though no son would come Ndrek said to me, ‘She shall be our son.’ He loves you. It was he as much as I who put off your betrothal. You know in Skodra girls must buy their husbands, but here in our mountains women have value, and a man must give much for a wife. Many a man promised Ndrek cattle and cornmeal, gold coins and jewel-set chains to get you for his son, but he refused, your father, wanting for you the best in birth and nature. He waited. Now he gives you willingly. He knows and trusts the man he weds you to. Trust Ndrek, your father.” She stopped and said again, “He loves you, Pran.” {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 6yc8wmdhgyioru1irq2p1iluq3ab1vq Page:Pran of Albania.djvu/217 104 4836125 15136670 15099660 2025-06-15T10:28:50Z SurprisedMewtwoFace 2974010 /* Validated */ 15136670 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="SurprisedMewtwoFace" />{{rvh|199|LUKJA’S SECRET|PRAN OF ALBANIA}}</noinclude>Pran spoke: “I know. I know. I love him too, Ndrek.” Her voice took fire now. “No girl has a better man than I for father.” “Then trust him in this thing,” Lukja said. “Do as he would wish. I know the young man, too, and his mother well.” The dog barked sharply in the yard. Lukja looked up. “Who comes?” she said. They rose. “God’s grace,” thought Pran. “No more now for a while.” It was Dil coming back. “That puppy barks at friends as well as foes,” she called from the lower room. When she came in Pran turned her back to her, called her a greeting, busying herself at the cooking shelf, mixing bread for the noon meal. Dil must not know. But Dil would have to know. They all would know. Had not her mother said the thing was done and settled? In the dark corner of the room Pran mixed the bread, and into the yellow batter her tears fell. She could not keep them back. She stayed there a long time stirring the meal and water with her hand, nor let her sobbing make a single sound against the talking of the other two. Nush’s face seemed to rise before her eyes. “If I could see him.” Why should she see Nush?

Oh, it was all cruel wickedness, this thing. No wonder that the cross had fallen down for her. No wonder that the twig had snapped his chain! She could not stand here longer beating the bread. She rubbed her face clean of its tears. She poured the batter out into the shallow pan, covered, and carried it to the fire. Dil bent to rake out the red coals for her, and Pran leaned down and set the bread pan in the ashes, piling the embers on the top of it, coal after coal. “The pan is like my heart,” she thought, “buried in the hot ashes of sorrow.” Notz and Lul came home for noonday bread. “Ndrek is working still,” Notz said to Lukja. “I will carry him some bread and cheese.” Pran heard the words thankfully. No, she could not have borne to see Ndrek just then. She saw Notz’s glance shift from her reddened eyes. She felt relief that Nik and Gjon were out and would be out till evening. She could not eat, but she must make pretense. The bread was tasteless in her mouth. She did not listen to what the others said. That afternoon she and Dil threaded the loom for weaving. They talked but little. “Dil’s heart understands,” Pran told herself. Time dragged.

At last night came. Pran showed Ndrek her usual smiling face. Guests came. Old songs were sung. The children slept. Dil and Pran went to their corner, lay under their one blanket listening to the men’s voices. There was relief for Pran in the high ringing shriek that filled the room. The phrase of music, sung a hundred times the same, stilled the restlessness of her thinking, gave her a peace. But when the song stopped then her own thoughts leaped again at her, like gnawing dreadful beasts tearing her mind. Should she tell Dil? Why not? She must tell someone. This was too hard to stand alone. “Dil,” she whispered, when the songs began again, “Dil.” “Yes, Pran.” “You and I talked a month or more ago of brides and marriages. Remember?” “Yes, I remember,” Dil answered under the ringing music. “To-day,” Pran said, “Lukja talked to me of that same thing. I am betrothed.” Dil’s voice betrayed an eager excitement. “Oh, Pran, ''you''—''you''—betrothed? Who is the man?” {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> tj5dq98blfmzmlyxe0tzzceysyherjy Page:Photoplay (1929-07).pdf/54 104 4836414 15134659 15126764 2025-06-14T21:57:43Z ShakespeareFan00 8435 15134659 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Qq1122qq" /></noinclude><section begin="The Shadow Stage" />{{c|{{larger|THE NATIONAL GUIDE TO MOTION PICTURES}} {{xx-larger|The Shadow Stage}}<br/> {{smaller|(REG.

This is Josephine Lovett's sequel to "Our Dancing Daughters." Then, too, it is the first time Joan and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., have played together. Joan plays the role she does so well, that of a pampered play-girl bored with the world her rich father gives her to play with. The climax of the picture is based on a thoroughly original and unique situation. Joan is exquisitely poised and gowned, and her acting highly commendable. Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., gives astoundingly accurate impersonations of John Barrymore, Jack Gilbert, and his own dad, Douglas, Sr. Probably a tremendous box-office hit. ''Part Talkie.'' [[File:Photoplay - 1929.07 - 54 - Innocents of Paris.png|center|400px]] {{c|★ INNOCENTS OF PARIS—''Paramount'''}} {{di|T}}HIS picture is Maurice Chevalier's (pronounced She-val-yay) first screen appearance and, because of his great popularity in Paris, his screen debut has been awaited with unusual expectancy. Dispel your doubts, he can stay as long as he likes. He sings with joy. He plays with abandon and his personality gets you. He renders half his songs in French and half in English, but it is not just his pleasing voice, nor even his perfect pantomime, that makes him a success. The plot is inconsequential and much of the dialogue is stilted and unnatural, but the sparkling, lovable personality of Chevalier lifts the story out of the commonplace—and makes it delightful entertainment. Fans will love Chevalier. ''All Talkie.'' [[File:Photoplay - 1929.07 - 54 - Bulldog Drummond.png|center|400px]] {{c|★ BULLDOG DRUMMOND—''Goldwyn-United Artists''}} {{di|T}}HIS is a corking melodrama—and Ronald Colman gives the best talkie performance to date. He's suave and easy before the terrorizing "mikes." Voice gives him a new charm. "Bulldog Drummond" puts Ronald Colman right at the top after some recent wavering, if lavish, films. The English writer of shockers, Sapper, dashed off "Bulldog Drummond" as a stage melodrama. With the advent of the talkies, every producer was after it. But Sam Goldwyn reached first. Goldwyn took a lot of pains with the film. It is intelligently and tastefully done. The sounding is highly expert. Here a raindrop can be made to act in the sound pictures as excitingly as a Rolls-Royce. The cutting (one of the drawbacks of the talkies up to now) is finely done. In a phrase, "Bulldog Drummond" is great stuff. ''Bulldog'' is a demobilized officer who wearies of his dull club life. He puts an advertisement in the "agony column" of ''The London Times'', asking for adventure. Out of the avalanche of letters, he selects one signed ''Phyllis''. It requests him to be at the Green Bays Inn at midnight, if he is sincere in his quest for adventure. It develops that ''Phyllis{{'}}'' uncle, a millionaire American, is being held prisoner in a fake hospital by three master crooks, aided and abetted by a host of bloodthirsty Malays. Colman gives a superb performance and he gets fine aid from an excellent cast. The best work is done by Claude Allister, as a new sort of silly ass Englishman, and by Lilyan Tashman, as the tough baby who leads the crooks.

'''Updates for editors''' * For wikis that have the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/CampaignEvents/Deployment status|CampaignEvents extension enabled]], two new feature improvements have been released: ** Admins can now choose which namespaces are permitted for [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Event Center/Registration|Event Registration]] via [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Community Configuration|Community Configuration]] ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Registration/Permitted namespaces|documentation]]). The default setup is for event registration to be permitted in the Event namespace, but other namespaces (such as the project namespace or WikiProject namespace) can now be added. With this change, communities like WikiProjects can now more easily use Event Registration for their collaborative activities. ** Editors can now [[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Transclusion|transclude]] the Collaboration List on a wiki page ([[mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Collaboration list/Transclusion|documentation]]). The Collaboration List is an automated list of events and WikiProjects on the wikis, accessed via {{#special:AllEvents}} ([[w:en:Special:AllEvents|example]]). Now, the Collaboration List can be added to all sorts of wiki pages, such as: a wiki mainpage, a WikiProject page, an affiliate page, an event page, or even a user page. * [[File:Octicons-sync.svg|12px|link=|class=skin-invert|Recurrent item]] View all {{formatnum:27}} community-submitted {{PLURAL:27|task|tasks}} that were [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently resolved community tasks|resolved last week]]. '''Updates for technical contributors''' * Developers who use the <code dir=ltr>moment</code> library in gadgets and user scripts should revise their code to use alternatives like the <code dir=ltr>Intl</code> library or the new <code dir=ltr>mediawiki.DateFormatter</code> library.

We have good news to share regarding the ongoing problem with graphs and charts affecting all wikis that use them. As you probably know, the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Graph|old Graph extension]] was disabled in 2023 [[listarchive:list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/EWL4AGBEZEDMNNFTM4FRD4MHOU3CVESO/|due to security reasons]]. We’ve worked in these two years to find a solution that could replace the old extension, and provide a safer and better solution to users who wanted to showcase graphs and charts in their articles. We therefore developed the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|Charts extension]], which will be replacing the old Graph extension and potentially also the [[:mw:Extension:EasyTimeline|EasyTimeline extension]]. After successfully deploying the extension on Italian, Swedish, and Hebrew Wikipedia, as well as on MediaWiki.org, as part of a pilot phase, we are now happy to announce that we are moving forward with the next phase of deployment, which will also include your wiki. The deployment will happen in batches, and will start from '''May 6'''. Please, consult [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart/Project#Deployment Timeline|our page on MediaWiki.org]] to discover when the new Charts extension will be deployed on your wiki. You can also [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension:Chart|consult the documentation]] about the extension on MediaWiki.org. If you have questions, need clarifications, or just want to express your opinion about it, please refer to the [[:mw:Special:MyLanguage/Extension_talk:Chart/Project|project’s talk page on Mediawiki.org]], or ping me directly under this thread. If you encounter issues using Charts once it gets enabled on your wiki, please report it on the [[:mw:Extension_talk:Chart/Project|talk page]] or at [[phab:tag/charts|Phabricator]].

"Dudley refuses to interfere," she announced hopelessly. Silence fell upon the doomed men, broken only by the crackling of the fire and the crash of charred timbers. For a long time Mrs. McSween paced the floor, wringing her hands. "Dudley must interfere," she said at last as if to herself. "We are lost unless he does. Only the soldiers can save us. I am going back to fight it out with him." She picked her way through the blazing embers out into the road once more. A roar of laughter came from Colonel Dudley's tent as she entered the camp. Evidently someone had told the soldier a good joke. Colonel Dudley was still with Sheriff Peppin and John Kinney. He seemed disconcerted as Mrs. McSween stepped into his tent. A bottle and glasses were on his table. "You here again?" "I have come again to beg you on my knees to save my husband's life and the lives of the men with him. Have you no mercy?" "I have told you I have no authority to interfere." Fury boiled in Mrs. McSween's soul at these words that closed the door of hope against her. "Colonel Dudley," she screamed, "that is not true. You have the authority but you will not use it. I know, and we all know, what you are here for. You are here not to protect life and property but to help the Murphy faction.

The one chance in a million that remained to him kept him cheerfully hopeful. He wasted no words in bewailing his fate in being cooped in this two-by-four hell. Confident in his own resources and courage, he was willing to play the game out to the end and, if luck went against him, accept the result like a good gambler. Mrs. McSween’s eyes rested sadly on her piano. Flame reflections were leaping and dancing in its polished depths. It was fated to destruction. A few hours more and it would be a wreck buried under flaming débris. She threw herself upon the stool at the keyboard. She still had hope—hope in Billy the Kid and his fighting men. They were battling desperately in their last ditch. A warsong might inspire them to still more heroic courage. It might turn defeat into victory. With one last brave swan-song before the ultimate silence, the piano might yet save the day. At once she plunged into the stirring bars of "The Star Spangled Banner." Facing death, the men felt the lift and thrill of the old battle hymn. "O say, can you see…what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming…broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight…so gallantly streaming.…" The Kid whistled the tune. Tom O'Folliard beat time with his six-shooter. Far through the noise of battle and the swish of flames, the music sounded in half the homes in Lincoln. It rang against the cañon walls like a challenge. It carried its message of courage and defiance to the enemy whose bullets thumped like an obbligato against the tottering walls and plunged with sibilant uproar among the smoking embers…“does the Star-Spangled Banner still<noinclude></noinclude> gbhmvt8oc3oftqpcg54513ev7r0d42l Page:Saga of Billy the Kid.djvu/150 104 4839466 15134670 15108462 2025-06-14T22:02:54Z Eigenhector 2981741 /* Proofread */ 15134670 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eigenhector" />{{rh|136| THE SAGA OF BILLY THE KID}}</noinclude>wave o'er the land"…The music died in the crash of a flaming fragment of the roof. "You'd better hunt safety now, Mrs. McSween," said Billy the Kid. "Go to the house of some friend while there's still time. We'll do the best we can. We may get out of this yet. After dark, we'll make a break for it." "Yes," agreed McSween. "While there is still time. Escape for the others will be less difficult if there is no woman here." "I will not go," the brave woman proclaimed stoutly. "It is best, my dear," answered McSween. He folded her in his arms and kissed her good-bye. "Let me stay and die with you," she pleaded. McSween shook his head solemnly. "No, you must go." Mrs. McSween turned away. Her husband drew her back for one last embrace. "God watch over and protect you," he breathed. Broken-hearted and blinded by tears, Mrs. McSween stumbled out of the blazing ruins of her home, through the dense smoke into the road flaming with the sunset to find safety and shelter at last with her sister and Ms. Ealy. Night fell. Two rooms were left. The Kid and his men still clung to their crumbling defenses. The fire marched steadily forward. One room remained the kitchen. It was ten o'clock. With the roof blazing over their heads, the Kid and his men prepared for a dash for safety. The Kid gave his directions calmly. Certain men must go first; certain others must follow in order. The Murphy men had closed in under cover of the darkness.

They sensed the approaching crisis. Their rifles commanded the kitchen door at a distance of not more than ten yards. "All right, boys, let's go," cried the Kid. "We've still got one chance in a million." He threw open the back door. While the flames turned night into day, Harvey Morris and Francisco Semora rushed out to fall dead before a blaze of rifles from the adobe wall. Vincente Romero was the next to try and the next to die. McSween was sitting in a corner, his Bible open on his lap, his lips moving in prayer. The tragedy closing in about him had left him in a state between lethargy and religious ecstasy. He realized that all hope was gone. Fear did not touch him. He felt only the despair and disappointment of a martyr whose faith had been in vain, whose prayers had not been answered. The Kid laid a hand upon his shoulder and shook him out of his reverie. "Come on, governor," said the Kid with a flash of his gay courage, "it's your turn next. You've got to make a run for it." McSween rose slowly to his feet. "Take this gun." The Kid tried to shove a six-shooter into his hand. With a sweep of his long arm, McSween brushed the weapon aside. He had remained unarmed throughout the fighting. He would die as he had lived, with no stain upon his soul. "Hit the trail, old man," shouted the Kid. "Go through that door like a streak of greased lightning. Head for the back fence. Roll over it in the dark. Keep going for the Bonito. And you'll see Mrs. McSween in the morning. Good luck."

We had been together constantly for months, warm friendships had sprung up between us, and tonight we were to separate with little likelihood that they and I should ever meet again.

But Raquel Torres illustrates for you here how fly-away hair that is too long to hang down and too short to coil up can be deftly held together in a charming chignon. The method is amusingly simple. Stretch a sturdy rubber band across the back of the hair, catching it securely behind each ear with a hairpin. Give the pin a little twist as you insert it, and it will hold fast. Then coil the ends of the hair over the elastic, fastening with plenty of tiny hairpins. This arrangement gives the effect of long hair'''}} {{di|A}} VISITOR passing through Hollywood one afternoon stopped to look at a sorrowing group of men marching along the boulevard. At first glance they might have been foreign actors with accents, fleeing before the shadow of the microphone. They might have been producers who hadn't merged. They were neither. Only a group of barbers who were folding their scissors and silently stealing away. Hollywood seems to be growing out. Dozens of the film gals are letting their hair go feminine again. But not all by any means. The feminine members of the film colony may be divided into four opinions. There are those who have had long hair all during those hectic shearing days (Mary Philbin, Mary Brian, Norma Shearer, June Collyer). There are some who have always had bobbed hair and continue to have it (Dorothy Sebastian, Clara Bow, Florence Vidor, Alice White, Bebe Daniels, Norma Talmadge). Then there is the "yes and no" group—those who have bobbed, grown out and bobbed again (Joan Crawford, Laura La Plante, Jean Arthur, Esther Ralston, Olive Borden, Evelyn Brent). And, most important of all, you'll find the group that is just growing out. They are passing through that awkward stage. Every woman who has let her hair grow knows what this means. A continual worry for many months. Dozens of boxes of invisible hairpins. Stray, unruly hair. But take courage. Take a lot of courage. There are ways for everyone, with every type of hair, to overcome this. One of the most practical methods is that employed by a number of the players, including Estelle Taylor and Raquel Torres. It is done with a simple twist of the wrist and a plain rubber band. The elastic is pulled taut across the back of the head and is held in place with two hairpins, one behind each ear. This keeps the hair smooth at the back. Then the long hair that is so unpleasant on the nape of the neck is curled up tight to conceal the band. [[File:Photoplay - 1929.07 - 42 - Greta Garbo.png|center|300px]] {{c|'''The Garbo cut needs no introduction. It has spread like wildfire through every city and town. This photograph of the pensive Greta shows a particularly pleasing variation of her versatile bob'''}} {{di|A}}NOTHER ingenious method is employed by Leila Hyams. Her hair is growing out both at the back and the sides. She pins it in tightly over the ears, keeps it marcelled and wears a false braid, coronet fashion, which is pinned in at the back keeping the back hair in place. The braid is then pinned over the top of the head. False hair is also used effectively by Anita Page. She keeps those back ends down by pinning tightly across them a set of little curls. Mary Astor has just bobbed her hair, but she intends to wear it both ways. Incidentally, her method is a good one while the hair is growing out. A small ''chignon''' was made of the hair that was cut off and this is pinned tightly across the back while the sides are allowed to fluff out softly around the face. You'd never believe, to look at Nancy Carroll, that her hair is really nape-of-the-neck length. It looks as if she has a smart bob and this is done by separating the back hair into eight parts and coiling each part separately. Then it is pinned securely to the nape of the neck, the shorter top hair is combed over it and the effect is that of a neatly cropped head. {{nop}} <section end="That Awkward Length" /><noinclude></noinclude> 7bxlgx36mk05ilicumsmrqwf1792otn Page:The Works of Ben Jonson - Gifford - Volume 4.djvu/175 104 4841113 15134573 15113180 2025-06-14T21:45:59Z Chrisguise 2855804 15134573 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Chrisguise" />{{rvh|171|THE ALCHEMIST.}}</noinclude>{{ppoem|start=follow|end=follow|Illusions, some spirit o' the air!—His gag is melted, And now he sets out the throat. {{rbstagedir|Aside.}} {{em}}''Dap''.

In advanced age and feeble health, Colonel Fritz went back to his boyhood home in Germany, where he died, leaving a will and an insurance policy for $10,000, both of which he had entrusted for safe keeping to his old friend Murphy. Aside from his ranch and stock in Bonito Cañon, the insurance policy which had been bequeathed to his sister, Mrs. Fred Scholland, constituted the principal asset of Colonel Fritz's estate. Upon his death, Charles Fritz, his brother, set about to wind up Colonel Fritz's affairs. But when he sought to obtain the will and insurance policy, Murphy refused to surrender either and justified his refusal on the grounds that Colonel Fritz had died owing him a large sum of money. No proof of such a debt was ever produced but Murphy declared the will contained a provision that he be reimbursed from the insurance. Murphy, it is said, kept the will in a tin can concealed in a secret crypt in the walls of his store in Lincoln, as there were few safes in the country at that time, either for private or public funds. Whether there was such a provision in the will or not never was publicly known, as the will never was probated and Murphy was charged with having destroyed it. As for the insurance policy, the thrifty Murphy had hypothecated it with Spiegelberg Brothers, merchants of Santa Fé, for merchandise billed at $900. McSween, employed by Charles Fritz and Mrs. Scholland as their lawyers, undertook the collection of the insurance. He paid the $900 out of his own pocket to the Spiegelbergs to square Murphy's account and, gaining possession of the policy, cashed it in full on a trip to the East and deposited the $10,000 in his own name in a bank in St. Louis. Murphy, it is said, still owed a considerable sum of money to McSween for legal services in the past.<noinclude></noinclude> fkxftozk6c0grp8b7xbc5qzz92c2u7a Page:The Making of Americans, 1925.djvu/17 104 4842836 15134114 15118141 2025-06-14T16:52:03Z User7874 3090316 /* Validated */ 15134114 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="User7874" />{{rh|10|||}}</noinclude>no he never has had it inside him the way that gives it a real meaning, and so the young ones are firm to go on with their fighting. And always they stay with their father and listen to him. His wife from her more than equal living, as it sometimes is in women, has not such a dread of his really knowing when it comes to their ways of living, and then it is really only talking with him for now it is completely his own only way of living, and so she never listens to him, is deaf to him or goes away when he begins this kind of talking. But his children always stay and listen to him. They are ready very strongly to explain their new ways to him. But he does not listen to them, he goes on telling what he has done and what he thinks of them. "No I say I don't think you children ever will be good for something. No you won't ever know how to make a living, not if all the ways I have seen men make a success in working is any kind of use to tell from. Well, what, what do you know with all your always talking, what do you know about how good hard work is done now? What is it you know now, when there is nothing you can any of you ever do anyway I ever saw you trying? No there is too much education business and literary effects in you all for you ever to amount to something, and then you will be always wanting more and so you never will do anything when you have nobody there to always help you. I always tell your mother, she always spoils you wanting you should have all kinds of things that you are never really needing. Not that I have anything to say against your mother's ways of doing. Miss Jenny is the best girl I know, she is too good to you that's all, she spoils all you children the way it always is with a woman giving you all what will never help to make you good for something in any kind of a way to earn a living, what, alright, I say to you, you children have an easy time of it now always doing nothing. Well, what, you think you can do it better with all your literary effects you are all so proud of. Well alright, in a few years now we will see who knows best about you then, I say, you can show me what these new fangled notions and all your modern kinds of improvements and all your education business you and your mamma are now all so fond of can do for you. Yes I say, it is only a few years now and then we all can see how you can do it. No I never had it easy like you children and I had to make it all myself so you could have it different. Yes I am always saying it to you but you think you know it all by yourselves and you never listen to me. Yes it was very different once with me. Yes when I was younger than George here and my brother Adolph was no bigger than my little Hortense, we left home to come and make our way here.

Considering the fuller context of binding precedents and where ''Lee'' fits comfortably within this jurisprudence, judicial review of the Order’s Section 2(a) is available in the instant case for at least four reasons. First, plaintiff seeks judicial review not of any individual security clearance decision, but of a publicly announced general policy governing security clearances for ''any member of a class of people''—here, the class consists of employees of plaintiff—which policy plaintiff alleges is constitutionally suspect on multiple bases. This is directly analogous to seeking review of an alleged “discrimination policy,” ''Webster'', 486 U.S. at 602, not based on any individualized assessments of any of the employees to whom the suspension applies. ''Lee'' addressed only a challenge to an individual “denial or revocation of security clearances,” 120 F.4th at 887, and does not foreclose review of challenges to general policies governing security clearances. Both ''Webster'' and ''Doe'' confirm that review of the latter types of claims is proper. Second, because plaintiff challenges a general policy rather than an individual determination, judicial review would not require a court to wade into the issues animating the decision in ''Lee''. For example, review of EO 14230 or similar general policies on the record here does not require an examination of any of the “intangible qualities” weighed in individual clearance decisions, ''Lee'', 120 F.4th at 893; or second-guessing any of the “predictive judgment[s]” or “judgment call[s],” ''id.'' (quoting ''Egan'', 484 U.S. at 529), of the security clearance experts; or making any risk assessments, ''see Egan'', 484 U.S. at 529. The D.C. Circuit made a similar observation in ''Rattigan v. Holder'', 689 F.3d 764, 767-68 (D.C. Cir. 2012), where the Circuit held that judicial review is only barred when “security clearance-related decisions made by trained Security Division personnel” are at issue, since these decisions involve “sensitive, predictive<noinclude>{{c|39}}</noinclude> 0d7hj3l34xj7jw60h8g8zii56o0cq8f Page:Saga of Billy the Kid.djvu/128 104 4843135 15134102 15133577 2025-06-14T16:38:03Z User7874 3090316 /* Validated */ 15134102 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="User7874" /></noinclude>{{class block/s|chapter}} {{c|{{asc|THE THREE-DAYS BATTLE }}}} {{uc|{{dropinitial|T}}he}} hush of a July night lay upon Lincoln.

We did not dare speak to the men near us and we did not know which man it was that knew us, but it made us feel a little better. Yes I say you youngsters have an easy time of it nowadays doing nothing. And that was all years ago and now everything is all very different with me. And my poor mother, peace be with her, she never had a big house and servants to work for her like your mother, and everything she ever wanted I could give her like your mother has now that I can buy it for her. No, my poor mother, peace be with her, it was very different for her. You are named after her Julia but you don't any of you children look much like her. Yes she was a good strong woman was my mother, peace be with her. No you don't any of you ever look much like her and she could do more than all her grandchildren ever can do now all put together. Yes she was a wonderful woman your grandmother, peace be with her. She took care of all us children, we were ten then, and she made our clothes and did her own washing and in between she made peppermint candy for the little ones to sell. She was a wonderful good woman your grandmother, not like you children who never will be good for anything. Yes! I say, I was only a little older than that lazy George here when my poor mother, peace be with her, died away, and we were left there, ten children, and we had to get along without her, and my father, he was an honest and a good man but he never knew much how to make a living, and so he never could help along any of his children. And so what we wanted we had to go out and find out how to get it. And now you children have it very different, you have everything you can ever think you can be needing, and you don't ever show that you can work hard to deserve it. Well you got your literary effect and your new fangled notions and all kinds of education and you all always explain to me how well you know how to do it, I say it will be soon now when I can see what all these new fangled notions and all your kinds of improvements will do for you. See if it can teach you more than we learned working hard and selling candy and anything else we could do to get some money. What, well alright, I say I am good and ready to sit still and watch you to see how you all do it. I am always waiting and if you are any good I will know it. I say I am always watching now to see," and then he went away and left them followed by shouts from them, "Alright sir, you just wait and see." The young Dehnings had all been born and brought up in the town of Bridgepoint. Their mother too had been born in Bridgepoint. It was there that they had first landed, her father, a harsh man, hard to his wife and to his children but not very good with all his fierceness at knowing how to make a living, and her mother a good gentle wife who never left him, though surely he was not worthy to have her so faithful<noinclude></noinclude> msr6laga3enynoju1nkw3bvdjcglsrc Page:The Making of Americans, 1925.djvu/19 104 4844628 15134136 15122761 2025-06-14T17:00:54Z User7874 3090316 /* Validated */ 15134136 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="4" user="User7874" />{{rh|12||}}</noinclude>to him, and she was a good woman who with all her woe was strong to bear many children and always after she was strong to do her best for them and always strong to suffer with them. And this harsh hard man and his good gentle little wife had many children, and one daughter had long ago married Henry Dehning. It was a happy marriage enough for both of them, their faults and the good things they each had in them made of them a man and wife to very well content all who had to do with them. All the Dehnings were very fond of Bridgepoint. They had their city and their country house like all the people who were well to do in Bridgepoint. The Dehnings in the country were simple pleasant people. It was surprising how completely they could shed there the straining luxury and uneasy importance of their city life. Their country house was one of those large commodious wooden double affairs with a wide porch all around and standing well back from the road. In front and at the sides were pleasant lawns and trees and beyond were green open marshes leading down to salt water. In back was a cleared space that spread out into great meadows of stunted oaks no higher than a man's waist, great levels glistening green in the summer and brilliantly red in the autumn stretching away under vast skies, and always here and there was a great tree waving in the wind and wading knee deep in the rough radiant leafy tide. Yes the Dehnings in the country were simple pleasant people. There they were a contented joyous household. All day the young ones played and bathed and rode and then the family altogether would sail and fish. Yes the Dehnings in the country were simple pleasant people. The Dehning country house was very pleasant too for all young men and boys, the uncles and the cousins of the Dehning family, who all delighted in the friendly freedom of this country home, rare in those days among this kind of people, and so the Dehning house was always full of youth and kindly ways and sport and all altogether there they all always lead a pleasant family life. The Dehning family itself was made up of the parents and three children. They made a group very satisfying to the eye, prosperous and handsome. Mr. Dehning was a man successful, strong-featured, gentle tempered, joyous and carrying always his fifty years of life with the good-nature of a cheerful boy. He enjoyed the success that he could boast that he had won, he loved the struggle in which he had always been and always conquered, he was proud of his past and of his present worth, he was proud in his three children and proud that they could teach him things he did not know, he was proud of his wife who was proud of such very different things.

Fortunately, among our {{SIC|pssengers|passengers}} was a young man who could speak French fluently, and this proved of great service to us. Eventually a kind of patois was established, which enabled us to deal with our new friends, and such was their kindness and hospitality, that after twenty-seven years sojourn in this colony, we still look back with feelings of the keenest gratitude and pleasure to the welcome we received at their hands. We partook of tea on the day of our landing at Bruce’s Hotel. The table was well furnished, and the cooking excellent. As may easily be imagined, we did ample justice to the substantial repast set before us, and enjoyed it as only those can who, for a long time, have neither tasted fresh meat, nor, indeed, a proper meal. For this, our first meal in our new country, we each paid two shillings and sixpence. As night came on, we returned to the ship, and this daily routine was kept up for about a fortnight, during which we, each day, wandered farther away in the different valleys, becoming at the end of this period so enamoured of the place, that no less than forty of the passengers agreed to remain. Akaroa was then in all its pristine beauty, so enchanting in its climate, and so picturesque in its scenery, that one could not resist the fascination and the feeling that it was all that could be desired; but we soon found the beauties of the place could not alone satisfy the wants of man, for, owing to the sudden influx of population caused by our arrival, provisions became scarce, and the serious question arose as to whether we had acted wisely in determining to remain.

On the 15th of May, 1850, the Monarch, having had a new rudder made and fixed, sailed away without us for her original destination, {{SIC|Auckand|Auckland}}. During her stay in harbor, four of her crew were drowned from a small boat, when returning to the ship from ashore, where they had been having a spree, all being more or less intoxicated. We were now left to our own resources, and to shape our course in the best way we could. But, before taking leave of the vessel for good and all, it may be well to add a few particulars about the live stock we were enabled to successfully bring out with us. But few were landed alive out of the original stock. The deer, pheasants (save one brace), partridges, and hares given by Lord Braybrooke died on the passage out. We landed, however, one pure bred bull, two ditto heifers, one pure bred mare, and a brace of pheasants, all belonging to Mr. Smith. As Canterbury was not known in those days, the mare was sent on to Nelson, and was one amongst the first, it not the first, that won a prize in the Colony; the bull and the heifers remained in Akaroa; and the pheasants were let loose in Pigeon Bay. We also brought out vegetable, tree, and farm seeds of all kinds, kindly given us by Lord Mansfield’s gardener. It may also be of interest to mention that Mr. Bruce was our pilot into Akaroa, and Big William the first Native on board. “There is always, in narratives of this kind, a certain delicacy in mentioning the names of others: but to some extent it is necessary to do so. Only a few, however, need be mentioned.

MCWILLIAMS.}} One day mother was very sick in bed with neuralgia. How gloomy and lonely the house seemed to us children, we missed her so. Grandpa was caring for us children and doing the house work as best he could. Then mother was better and able to sit up trying to sew, saying she could not afford to be idle. Not long after this one day, I know it was Sunday, we were dressed in our Sunday suits, father was reading to us, a knock came on the door, the latch was lifted, the door opened and John McWilliams almost fell into the room, saying, "Come both of you, my mother is dead." Then he sank into a chair and cried as if his heart would break. Mother arose from her easy chair saying "Come Walter, we must go." Father tried to have her not go, telling her she was not able to go, she ought to be in bed as her face was still badly swoolen. The snow being deep and it was very cold. Neither father, grandpa, nor we crying children could stop her going. She was dressed in a short time and tried to have poor John eat. He could not eat, saying he must go right back to his dead mother. He left us and all was now commotion. Father and mother were now both going away into the cold, deep snow and leave us children with grandpa. {{ph|STARTING ON THEIR PERILOUS TRIP.}} I remember hearing father tell him over and over again to be careful, which he promised by crossing himself; being a Catholic he took that way to express himself and let father know he meant to<noinclude></noinclude> 43x37k4jjo0fyoy8rixcu2a0rrtbnzg Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/34 104 4847447 15134338 15131900 2025-06-14T19:28:12Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15134338 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|30|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>be faithful. Bob was also told to watch over us children, which he understood. At last they were ready to start, all bundled up in heavy, warm clothing. We two smaller children were crying and hanging on to them when mother said, "Now listen children, be good and mind all that grandpa tells you. Don't you know poor John has no one with him, his mother is dead?" We were quiet, but sorrowful. Oh, how little we children could realize or understand the awful, dangerous trip our father and mother were about to undertake! Grandpa realized it and tried so hard to keep them from going. The snow was very deep, weather extremely cold, with bears and wolves to be encountered at every step as soon as darkness came on. {{ph|THEIR STORY OF THEIR JOURNEY AS THEY TOLD IT TO ME IN AFTER YEARS.}} "We traveled along the beach inside the ice banks, as snow was not quite so deep there and we felt safer from wolves. It was noon when we left home. We had about fifteen miles to go, I think, to reach Birch Point. The wind was keen and cut like a knife in our faces. I made your mother walk right behind me, knowing she could never stand the sharp wind. About two o'clock it began to snow so hard it was blinding in our faces. We kept on, and after awhile I saw your mother began to lag and could not keep up even when I walked slowly. It was already getting dark, as the days were so short. At last she said, {{'}}Walter, I am afraid I can't keep up any longer.{{'}} I said to her, {{'}}Yes, you must<noinclude></noinclude> o8vs673rzob82h8tmfr23g2m0gqrzlm Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/35 104 4847448 15134353 15131903 2025-06-14T19:39:03Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15134353 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|31|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>keep up, we will sit and rest a little while, then you can walk better.{{'}} While we sat there we heard the bark of a wolf not far off, and well we knew what that sound meant. I knew then that our only hope. was to reach a small shanty about a mile and a half further on. I said, {{'}}Come mother, we must get to the little shanty, there we'll stay till morning.{{'}} This gave her new courage, and we pressed on through the blinding storm, snow being deeper at every step. I took her arm and we got on quite fast for a time. We still had over a half mile to go before we reached the shanty and I saw it was now a great effort for her to walk. She now began to worry about the children. I told her grandpa would be faithful and take good care of them and that we must hurry and try to reach the little shanty. I did not tell her of my fears, there being a possibility that it might be gone, taken away for its lumber by some fishermen along the shore in the fall. The snow became so deep it was hard to travel, and I could see she was getting weaker all the time. All at once the barking of wolves began first here then there, in every direction except on the lake side. We kept very close to the ice banks. I saw your mother could keep up no longer. The wolves were gathering from all sides and I realized our only hope was the little shanty, which I prayed might be left standing and that we might reach it in time. I threw down my little bag of tools, hammer, saw and gun. I took you mother on my back and staggered along through the storm. It was almost dark and I feared we might miss the shanty even if it was still there.<noinclude></noinclude> nkp51i8aiimq7tw11hau7qjfz8j3xyk Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/36 104 4847449 15134356 15131904 2025-06-14T19:39:36Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15134356 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|32|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>The howls and barks of the wolves were very near us now and it was terrible.

I made one last effort and reached the door none too soon, the wolves were right at our heels. I pushed the door open and closed it as soon as possible, letting your mother drop down. upon the floor until I could get the door safely barred. The snow had drifted in some beside the door. I took some snow in my hand and rubbed her face with it. After awhile she said, {{'}}Walter, are we safe?{{'}} I said, {{'}}yes, mother, thank God we are safe for awhile.{{'}} I left her and began to look for a place to make a fire. I found a pretty good cook stove with a good pile of wood near which the fishermen had left for anyone who might be in need. and we were the first that had need of it. I used my flint and soon had a warm fire. I also found a small tin lamp full of fish oil. I said, {{'}}now mother we are all right. With the provisions I have we will soon have some supper and warm tea.{{'}} I took up some of the clean snow in a basin and put it to heat on the stove, where it was soon boiling.

There were two large bunks filled with balsam boughs, and I took some of our wraps and made a bed for your mother. She was soon fast asleep. I kept a good fire, and about midnight laid down beside her, and in spite of the howling and barking of the wolves I was soon. fast asleep. At break of day all was quiet, the wolves had gone to the woods. We had some breakfast and mother felt better. I left her and went to find my gun and other things I had left in the snow. The wolves had trampled the snow all down about the door and we could see the marks of their claws. on the door. We were soon started on our way and reached the little deserted settlement, where I took two boards to carry, as John had also done, as we needed the lumber to make a coffin. From here. we found better walking, a straighter beach. We reached John's about 11 o'clock. We found him sitting beside his dead mother." {{ph|BROTHER ANTHONY LOST IN THE WOODS.}} With us children at home we too had our troubles.

And to make it still harder for him brother Toney went out alone up the river to find the rabbit traps he had set and lost his way home. When he did not come back at dinner time grandpa was almost crazy, but would not let brother Lewis go to look for him, fearing he too would be lost. He left us two little ones with Lewis. while he ran down to the river and called to the men at work in the mill. At first he could not make them hear him. He swung his arms and ran up and down, and at last they saw him and two men came over on a raft, our boat, the only one there, being on our side of the river. They thought something terrible must have happened grandpa. In his imperfect English he could not make them understand. They came to the house and Lewis made them understand Toney was lost in the woods and told them where father and mother had gone. We were all crying, as we two younger ones only wanted papa and mamma. I remember seeing the men run to the boat, cross the river, and soon come back with all the men, Mr. Frankle, with the rest, all starting to the woods. Lewis was gathering up limbs of trees. and brush wood to make a big fire at night to guide the men home. Grandpa cried and wrung his hands, praying and crossing himself continually. We two little ones were frightened, not knowing just what had happened. We had our playthings and sat in our corner behind the stove crying to ourselves. The men had taken the two young dogs with them.

Grandpa did all he could to comfort us, made the tops spin and rocked my dolly to sleep in her cradle, and ever so many things. to please us, but we would not be comforted. Our Bob was gone, and we wanted him to come back. At last Lewis came in telling us Bob was coming soon with brother Toney. Charley understood and was quiet. I was put into my cradle, where grandpa. rocked me to sleep, singing to me one of his French songs I loved so well to hear. I have a confused memory of hearing dogs barking and of being carried to the window and seeing a big fire shining far out over the snow and river and the men coming in all covered with snow, and dear old Bob bounding to greet me and kissing my face; then I remembered no more. But when I was older mother told me all about the hunting and finding of brother Anthony. {{ph|MOTHER'S STORY.}} "The men hunted and found the tracks, but he had turned and circled so often in all directions they became confused. The young dogs were more intent on chasing rabbits and other small game, so nothing could be done with the young dogs.

They let him smell of brother's clothes and shoes. At first Bob began to whine and tremble and lay down at their feet in the snow. They could not speak to him in French, which was the language Bob knew best, his master always speaking to him in French. At last he looked up in their faces after smelling of the shoes and began to bark. He started with his nose to the ground. At first the young dogs worried him by bounding and jumping over him. They wanted him to play with them. But Bob had something more important for him to do—a human life to save. He circled and seemed confused, then threw his head up in the air, gave several loud, sharp barks and looked at the men as much as to say follow me. He left them far behind, though they went as fast as they could go. It was growing dark, they were uneasy. Soon Bob's deep voice was heard barking furiously. He never stopped till the men reached him. He was standing directly over brother, who was lying in the snow. Bob had scratched the snow away and partly dragged him out. At first the men thought Toney was dead. He was just exhausted from walking so far and so afraid of the dark and the wolves. The men carried him home, reaching there at ten o'clock that night amid the howling of the wolves that followed them at a distance." Brother was sick in bed when father and mother came home.

Mr. Frankle sent two men to see if father and mother were safe and they met them coming with the Indians. What happy children we all were to see them again. Bob was wild with delight to see father and mother, and when they learned how Bob had saved brother's life there was nothing too good for him.

When John came to see us in the spring he told us his story how it came they were here so far from their old home. In after years mother told it to me, and I tell it now, as near as possible, as John told it to her. {{ph|JOHN'S STORY.}} "My people were well-to-do people with a comfortable home in Canada near the City of Toronto. My brother, being seven years older than I, had a good education, went to the city, became a clerk in a bank, got into bad company, forged a check on the bank and was arrested for forgery. Our farm and the old home went to clear him. He promised father to do better. We heard about these western islands and shores, and thinking this a good place to come with my brother where no one knew of our disgrace, we came, bringing fish nets and a boat. We fished all summer, doing well, but as fall came my brother became restless and discontented. He took the fish nets and boat and sold them all, leaving us nothing, then went we knew not where. This broke my old father's heart and mother soon followed him to the grave. Now I am left alone to battle with the world, but I shall never forget your kindness to me and mine." After working all summer for some fishermen John went home to Toronto to live with an uncle who offered him a home, and John accepted with a grateful heart. {{ph|FIRST VISIT TO THE BIG WHITE HOUSE.}} Since coming to Manistique mother and we two<noinclude></noinclude> llkclg08q4oi8xds6nim4ef6j8yikda Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/45 104 4847457 15134373 15131916 2025-06-14T19:45:38Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15134373 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|39|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>small children had never crossed over the river nor been inside the big white house, as we called Mr. Frankle's home. One morning I woke and found myself in a strange bed and a strange room. I called and mother came to me, telling me we were in the big white house where I had watched the lights so many times in the windows. She took me into another room. A lady was sitting in a low chair with a little wee baby rolled up in white flannel in her lap. A little baby had been born that night in the rich man's home. I went up to the lady asking to see the dolly baby. She said, "Oh, no, it is not a dolly, it's a baby," but to me it was a dolly. I had my own rag doll in my arms hugged tight, and every little while I would toss and sing to her in French. The beauty of the room was something new to me; soft carpets and rugs on the floor that gave no sound of the patter of my feet as I walked about. The walls were covered with soft tinted paper and beautiful pictures hanging everywhere, curtains of finest lace and silk at the windows. I gazed about almost holding my breath. Everything seemed so still. Soon a door opened without noise and a little child came into the room. She looked to me like a little angel I had seen the picture of, blue eyes and golden hair. She seemed such a sweet little flower almost too frail to be alive. When she saw me she came to me, holding out her doll for me to take. I drew back, as her doll was wax and opened and shut its eyes.

I had not got over being afraid of it yet because it moved its eyes. Mother had to come and explain to them about it. The little girl took me by the hand and led me into a large bedroom where her mamma lay among white pillows. The lady reached out her hand to me, smiling, and drew me up to her. At first I could say nothing. Then as her sister came in with the baby in her arms I said, "Me want to go home and see Charley." Mother came to explain I wanted to go home to see my little brother. The lady said, "you shall see them this evening, I shall send and have them come." Then I told her I wanted to see Bob too. She said, "Yes, Bob shall come." I was more content, and while mother held the wee baby in her arms I sat in a little chair and rocked my doll, singing to it, and when I was given my bread and milk for supper I fed my doll some, and when she choked I patted her on the back just like Aunt Abby did to Baby Margarette. {{ph|REMINDERS OF HOME FAR AWAY.}} Soon the lamps were lighted and the men came in to supper. The young lady, Mr. Frankle's sister, had gotten the supper with mother's help. I remember the long table and white table cloth. The men were all seated at the table when Mr. Frankle came in the room with the little wee baby in his arms.

Mother took the baby to its mother. I was put into a high chair and sat near the head of the table, heads were bowed and Mr. Frankle asked a blessing. As soon as it was ended I said "Amen" and made the sign of the cross, just as grandpa always did. When I saw them smile I looked serious and got down, telling mother I wanted to go home. I could not eat, but fed my doll, after which mother took me in her arms and rocked me to sleep, singing one of her sweet old songs. {{ph|A LONGING FOR HOME.}} Next morning I could not eat any breakfast, but kept calling for brother Charley, Bob and grandpa. Everything was so still and silent here in the big house. Oh the longing in a child's heart for the old familiar faces and home! Child that I was it seemed to me all that made life sweet had gone out of my life. I grew sick, I could not eat, and for several days lay on my little bed. Little Lilly tried to amuse me with her dolls and music box, but my heart was longing for grandpa, Charley and Bob. One morning father came and took me up and carried me into another room. There was Charley and Bob. It was a happy meeting with us all, but I felt too weak to play. At night father took Bob home and left Charley with us, but Charley, too, was not happy, he could not whittle his sticks or spin his top like he could at home. Mother, too, missed her home.

At night he went to look out of the window, and when he saw the lights in our windows at home across the river he began to cry, saying to mother, "I want to go home to grandpa." Next day we were both sent home, and grandpa and Bob were so happy. Lewis and Toney, too, were anxious for us all to be home again. At night we were taken again to the big house, as mother wanted us with her. We three children played to amuse ourselves, but all seemed so quiet to Charley and me. Charley was more at home now. Miss Harriet let him spin his top and whittle in the kitchen.

After all the years that have passed so rapidly, methinks I can see us all as we were then around our pleasant fireside on many of those winter evenings. Little mittens had to be made for our hands. Little jackets and caps for the boys, in which all took an interest, and grandpa, too, did his share. He made little fur suits for the boys, caps and all. Father would read to us from the big family Bible and explain to us as he read. Then he would sing the hymns he loved so well, mother joining in.

Then old grandpa would tell us stories of his travels, and when he told us about them we forgot all about fur suits, for we loved to listen to his old French and Spanish songs and stories. He would tell us of his travels and hardships. {{ph|BOB'S SYMPATHY.}} Bob seemed almost to understand, as he would always come close to us and listen, looking at us with his great, kind eyes. Many times grandpa would cry as he related some of his most sorrowful experiences, of how some of his comrades had perished from cold and hunger, or of being drowned in crossing the great rivers. Then he would cover his face with his hands as if to shut out the sight of some loved one's suffering. Old Bob would whine and lick his old master's face and hands as if trying to comfort him, then run to father and whine. Father would go over to grandpa and say, "Now don't cry any more, all that is past. You have not any more such trials to pass through. Now be happy with us." It always cheered him and soon he would be at work again. We children always sympathized with him, often shedding tears when he told his sorrowful tales and laughing with glee at some of his jolly ones. Sometimes mother would say, "I do wish you would not tell the children so many sorrowful stories. It makes them sad to hear them." Then he would say, "Me can't help it. Me sad too sometimes."

There the Indians had a large settlement of about seven hundred people in all at that time. At one time their village had contained nearly three thousand. Since all tribes had been at peace many of their Braves had gone among other tribes to visit and hunt. This tribe was of the Ottawas, mixed with the Ojibewas or Chippewas. In times of war each had been a powerful nation. Most of these had lived in the Lake Superior region. After peace was declared part of the tribe wandered away to the southward seeking new hunting grounds. The present Chief's father had been a great warrior as well as his father before him. Chief Ossawinamakee (Big Thunder), was a peaceful man, ruling his people with great kindness. He was a noble looking man of fine personal appearance. {{ph|THE LAKE OF ENCHANTMENT.}} The beautiful lake where the village was situated the chief's father had claimed to have found in his younger days when out on a hunting tour. The tribe claimed the lake was enchanted. Its fish and wild fowl, ducks and geese and other game were not to be disturbed by the hunters, but left for "the Indian Maiden" who strolled by its shores, and for her lover that was to come back and take her to the happy hunting grounds.

And, truly, when seen in its quiet and wild beauty it was not hard to believe. The legend runs that on moonlight nights the form of an Indian maiden could be seen wandering along its quiet shores waiting for her lover to come from the happy hunting grounds to meet her. In times of war among the different tribes, it was told, a beautiful Indian maiden of the Ottawas had a lover of the Huron tribe. The tribes were at war. The lover was taken prisoner and condemned to die, to burn at the stake. When the awful deed was taking place the Indian maiden was seen to take her flight southward. Braves were sent to bring her back. She forever eluded them and at last disappeared from their sight. When this lake was discovered many years afterwards it was believed the shadowy maiden seen was the same that had disappeared so long ago, and wandered beside this beautiful water waiting for her lover to join her. Wild deer came to drink of its waters, animals and fowls had no fear of the red man. It was indeed an enchanted place. {{ph|THE CHIEF'S DAUGHTER, "STAR OF THE MORNING."}} The Chief's daughter was a beautiful Indian maiden. She was an only child. Her mother died when she was quite young. Her aunt, her mother's sister, had taken the place of a mother to her. The Chief, her father, was very proud of her and greatly attached to her. She was of medium height, oval<noinclude></noinclude> 22199pwi9bcdd41gjjnrvzqdbzp50zf Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/52 104 4847466 15134387 15131926 2025-06-14T19:52:47Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15134387 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|46|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>face and clear olive skin with red cheeks and lips, her eyes were large and dark with nearly always a sad look in them. Her teeth were like two rows of small white pearls, small hands and feet, she was a royal princess dearly loved by the whole tribe. Her Indian name was Wa-bun-an-nung (the Morning Star.) We always called her Mary. She was gentle in her manner and could sew very nicely, being always busy with her bead work and quills, making many pretty little boxes from the birch bark and ornamenting them with bright colored porcupine quills which the Indian women colored in bright, gay colors. Her father had always taken her with him on his long trips to Canada and the Sault, also to Green Bay on many of his hunting expeditions. She could paddle her canoe as swift as any of the braves in her tribe. {{ph|THE CHIEF AND HIS DAUGHTER VISITING US.}} To me Mary seemed like some bright being from another world. Her voice was soft and sweet. She always came to our home with her father, the chief. Then she would take me in her arms, calling me her little white "papoose." She would put me in my cradle, rocking and singing me to sleep with her quiet, soft voice. Many were the strings of beads and deer skin moccasins she gave me. She made me some dolls and put pretty dresses on them. She was always doing something nice for us children and was very fond of us. One day she asked little brother if he would give her little sister, meaning me, for one of her pretty pet fawns.

When she started with me in her arms toward the door he screamed and cried so hard before she could make him know she was only in fun. He said, "Don't take my little sister. Go over the river to the big house and take that {{'}}papoose{{'}} because it cries so much." When the older brothers came they said, "Why didn't you trade little sister for the fawn and two cub bears?" Mary told her father. When he came again he brought the fawn and two cubs to see if the boys would trade me away for them. As soon as the boys saw the fawn and the cubs they began to cry and beg mother not to let me go. They did not want to trade little sister off for any thing. All the time the chief remained they watched me, fearing he might take me. He was greatly amused at the joke. I was delighted to play with the fawn and the cubs were like kittens to play. The fawn was inseparable from Mary, it loved her so. The days were longer now and the snow all gone. Grass was beginning to show in many places. The sun shone warm and bright. Mother said, "Spring is here, now don't you hear the birds sing?" Grandpa took us for little walks, but not far, as the wolves were always neat almost every morning. Sometimes two or three deer would come tearing past our door, jumping into the river to save themselves from the packs of wolves chasing them, and the bears would swim across the mouth of the river. Indian hunters were always coming home from the hunt loaded with game. Their deer meat was dried and smoked for future use. The wolves would<noinclude></noinclude> c40lbqwto6woagmpck87jjcxcgckm7e Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/54 104 4847468 15134392 15131929 2025-06-14T19:54:33Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15134392 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|48|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>come close to our house and little brother and I would often try to call them to come and get some bread and butter, we thinking them dogs. Grandpa and Bob were always near us or we would have been eaten alive by the wolves. {{ph|THE CHIEF'S DEPARTURE.}} I remember one day soon after breakfast Mary and her father came with a number of other Indians, Mary's aunt with the rest. A large canoe was packed and fitted out with all things necessary for a long voyage. The chief and Mary's aunt were going to Canada on a visit and Mary was to stay with us till her father returned. Her father took four men and Mary's aunt with him. Soon all was ready. They shook hands and away sped the bark canoe over the waves. Mary at first was sad to have her father go, but soon was cheerful again. She helped mother with her sewing and worked two pretty pairs of moccasins and made leggings and pretty garters. Some of the work was for her father. Time passed and it began to be time for the Chief's return. Mary grew restless as many storms came. She would look out over the waters for hours. Mother tried hard to comfort her and tell her all would be well. But Mary must see to believe. Her faith could not reach out very far into unseen things. Grandpa tried to comfort her. He would kneel down and pray for her father's return. One day a young Indian came to our house to see and talk to Mary. Mother told me afterward he was Mary's lover and had promised her father not<noinclude></noinclude> 5n90q2xyikdbb1e0zkgipwtfhuu8cx6 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/55 104 4847470 15134393 15131931 2025-06-14T19:55:13Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15134393 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|49|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>to visit Mary in his absence. Hearing how worried she was he had broken his promise. Mary seemed very sad, talked very little to him, and only when mother was present. She had also promised her father not to meet him while he was gone. The Chief had not given his full consent to their marriage. Another Chief's son had asked for Mary to be given him in marriage, which was now Mary's father's business away in Canada. She worried not so much for her father's absence as she feared her father and the Canadian chief would come to a satisfactory understanding and that she might be compelled to marry the Canadian lover whose father had much land and stock. She felt worried because her lover had broken his word to her father and she feared his displeasure. Indians are very strict about their laws and customs. {{ph|RETURN OF THE CHIEF OSSAWINAMAKEE.}} One day soon after this I saw the Chief coming up the path to the house. He was not alone. Mary was lying in the swinging hammock. She gave a bound like a deer and reached the door just as her father came in. She threw her arms about his neck and fainted away. Mother put water on her face. She soon opened her eyes and smiled at her father. He took her hand and talked long to her. She looked past him and saw the strange young Indian standing beside the door. She gave a cry and put her hands to her face. Her father called him to come to them, speaking to them both. At last Mary gave him her hand and spoke the Indian greeting,<noinclude></noinclude> kpsu5oqh0yiunje0uo4mdxdoh1k3qik Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/57 104 4847471 15134394 15131933 2025-06-14T19:55:59Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15134394 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|51|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>riage of the Chief's daughter to the Canadian Chief's son, who had much land and stock to give his bride. When he talked with mother about it she asked him about the other young man and if he had not promised Mary to him. He answered, "We come of a proud and haughty race. This young man has much land and riches while the other has nothing to give my daughter. No lands, no moneys." Mother said to him, "You will miss Mary from your wigwam." At this he softened, then saying, "I have power to extend the time of Mary's marriage." On the day of the feast the sun shone clear and bright. Our boys were up early and all seemed to be in a hurry. Grandpa had made a little cart for Bob to draw me in, so Bob's harness was all trimmed with gay colored ribbons. Mother put on my little red dress and pretty beaded moccasins which Mary had made for me. Then I was put into the cart and old Bob trotted off so proudly, thinking perhaps of his younger days when he had brought the great loads of furs from the Lake Superior trapping grounds to the Sault and Mackinac Islands to be sold to the traders there. Those were proud days for the voyagers when all the village came out to meet them from their long trips. After crossing the river we were joined by the people on that side, who were a happy lot. This was a holiday for them all. An Indian feast which none had ever before attended. Something to write about to their far away homes. All went along singing. Old grandpa singing his French and Spanish glee songs<noinclude></noinclude> 4ygafha4pa8p1f1m3hqh76ywtinr7ea Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/58 104 4847472 15134396 15131935 2025-06-14T19:56:54Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15134396 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|52|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>with the boys joining, which made the woods ring. We soon came to the lake, and the village of many wigwams was close beside the water. {{ph|THE BEAUTIFUL LAKE AT THE INDIAN VILLAGE.}} On that morning the lake was like a great mirror or a sea of glass, not a ripple stirred its surface and the beautiful trees were reflected on every side, hanging branches everywhere full of song birds, and swimming about near the shore were broods of ducks with their little ones among them. None seemed to be afraid of us. There were many young fawns wandering about and drinking from the lake. Mossy banks and many flowers. No one was allowed to harm the birds, fawns or ducks. The place seemed rightly named "The Lake of Enchantment." I remember being carried into a wigwam and laid on a bed of skins and furs. I was so sleepy after my ride. When I awoke I found myself alone and being frightened began to cry. Very soon Bob came bounding in. I took him by the collar and when we were out of doors I saw a lot of Indian children with brother Lewis and Toney running and jumping with them. I saw mother and grandpa, with little brother, going into a large wigwam. I ran over to them. In the middle of this lodge was a great fire with many kettles hanging in which the dinner was being cooked for the feast. The lodge had been made on purpose for the (chemokamon) white man's cooking to be done. Grandpa and mother had full charge of this part.

There were many squaws and children all gaily dressed with many colored ribbons. Dogs were running about everywhere, and young pet cub bears which the children seemed to be taking care of. The squaws had been to our house and knew us children. They came to us, giving us little cakes of maple sugar. {{ph|THE INDIAN MAIDEN IN HER WIGWAM.}} After a time little brother and I wanted to see Mary, so father took us to her wigwam, which was covered with black bear skins. There we found Mrs. Frankle with her sister and the children. Mary was sitting on a bear skin rug with her hands folded and her eyes almost shut. I wish I could describe her as she looked sitting there in her dark beauty. I could not take my eyes off her. She raised her eyes and looked at me as if to know what I wanted or what did I see. Then she smiled and sprang to her feet, coming towards me. I backed away and gave a great sob just as I have felt since when looking at some beautiful picture. It seemed to thrill me through and through. She seemed almost to know my thoughts. She seemed almost afraid to move. At last she took me in her arms and, sitting down near Mrs. Frankle, the great tears rolled down her face. Mrs. Frankle put her face near Mary's and kissed her. Then the great sobs came. The Indian maiden may sob but never cry aloud like her white skinned sisters. I wondered why Mary should sob and the tears fall on my face when she was so beautiful and had such beautiful clothes.<noinclude></noinclude> 2p2zzauqkb0p653m9a4qlddmzcflm9e Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/60 104 4847474 15134399 15131937 2025-06-14T19:58:24Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15134399 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|54|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>I felt of her dress and arms, passing my hands over her face, which made her smile. She then gave us some pretty shells to play with. Soon Mary's father came to see if she were ready to appear before the crowd. When his eyes rested on her a pleased look came over his face. He seemed to be satisfied, for he gave a shrug, saying "ugh ni-chi-chin" (good), meaning he was satisfied with her appearance. Little Charley and I had found the pretty leggings and moccasins Mary had made for her father and lover and ran to the Chief with them, holding them up for him to see, telling him Mary made them. He took them in his hand and smiled. He seemed pleased, but Mary came as if to take them. He kept them in his hand, talking long and earnestly to her. She stood with her head bowed and sad. He showed Miss Harriet and Mrs. Frankle the pretty work, which they admired, but Mary seemed so sad they wondered. {{ph|THE SOUNDING OF THE DRUM.}} We now heard a big drum and the barking of dogs. Then all the men with Mr. Frankle came and the Chief took Mary's hand. Father took me in his arms and we all went out where there were a great many Indians standing in a large circle. The Chief and his daughter went into the circle and all the white people followed. There were great skins of bear and other furs spread about for the chemokamon (white man) to sit upon, but all the Indians must stand while the Chief made his speech and gave the announcement of his daughter's marriage<noinclude></noinclude> bt28swlzaoa54j7f6xkgttfu64gsyv5 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/61 104 4847476 15134402 15131940 2025-06-14T19:59:07Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15134402 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|55|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>with the Canadian Chief's son, who was now his guest. {{ph|CHIEF OSSAWINAMAKEE'S SPEECH.}} The chief walked into the circle with a proud and haughty tread, waving his hand for all to be silent. I knew nothing of what he said, but my father told me when I was old enough to understand. I remember his form. He was tall and stately, with a fine appearance, and was dressed as became the chief of the proud Ottawa tribe. Many silver ornaments were on his breast. He talked a long time, while all listened in stately silence. After a time he was silent and two more forms appeared within the circle. The first to enter was the Canadian Indian. His step was firm, his head high, his look bold; he was dressed in bright red, with beaded leggings and many feathers around his head. The other one came in with a soft and silent step. His form was slight and willowy. He was dressed in a deer skin suit, with beaded leggings, silver ornaments on his breast, and a band about his head filled with eagle feathers. He came close to the Chief, his eyes were looking down, his face seemed sad. He was Mary's true lover, the son of a chief of the Chippewas, whose father had died, leaving him in the care of Mary's father. His father had been a great warrior and owned much land, but had lost it all in long wars with other nations. The name of this young chief was Sha-wan-nib-in-asse (southern bird).

Being rich, Chief Ossawinamakee thought it best to give his daughter to the rich chief's son. Very soon the chief presented the Canadian Indian with a pair of leggings and moccasins, saying they were a present from his daughter. The young Indian expressed his thanks with many bows casting many looks of triumph at Mary's lover. When Mary saw these presents given she almost gave a scream. She stepped forward as if to take them from his hands. {{ph|ALL ENJOYMENT.}} As soon as the speeches were ended all sat in circles. The Chief's circle was filled with his own family, his sisters and their families and his Canadian guest. The Chemokamons were by themselves. The Indians with their squaws and children had corn soup served with dried venison and fish. The soup was put in large pans with only one large wooden spoon or ladle. When one took a spoonful it was passed to the next and so on around the circle of about twelve or fifteen persons. The white people also had corn soup or maize, as it was called, corn pounded in a wooden mortar, with dried smoked venison and broiled white fish, baked potatoes and many other things which mother had prepared herself. There was much talking and laughing among the Indians as well as white people.

The fawns and deer came near to us as if enjoying the sport, while the little cub bears scampered away to a cute little wigwam where they slept at night. All was mirth and gaiety. When the eating was over the Chief arose, raised his head high, giving thanks to the Great Spirit, and buried a small piece of silver to entreat good crops and full hunting grounds for that year. There was jumping and canoe paddling among the Indians, which ended the day's sport. There had been a white dog killed, as was the custom at their feasts. We saw the pelt stretched up to dry. Father told me many times that all went home at sunset much pleased with their day of pleasure and sport. The white people were delighted with Indian feasts and declared that no ''White Dog'' had been served to them in ''their Corn Soup'', knowing my mother had charge of their cooking. {{ph|ENDING OF THE FEAST AND SAD ENDING OF A YOUNG LIFE.}} Early next morning all was excitement at the Indian Village, for Mary's lover, Sha-wan-nib-in-asse, was dead. All suspicion pointed to the Canadian Indian poisoning him through jealousy.

The Canadian Indian hurried from the Village and stopped at our house on his way down the shore, where he soon reached a small trading vessel and made his way home to Canada. Mary was very sorrowful with grief at the death of her lover, and her father was sure the Great Spirit was displeased with him for favoring the Canadian Indian. We were all afraid it might cause a war, as all the Indians at the Village wanted their Chief to go to Canada and get satisfaction from the father in Canada. The white people advised the Chief Ossawinamakee not to go to war, as his whole tribe would be killed, having no warriors to be a match for the Canadian Indians. The tribe had lived in peace so long war was only history to them. The Chief took the advice. {{ph|BURIAL OF SHA-WAN-NIB-IN-ASSE.}} They buried the young lover with great honor, buried him with the sound of the muffled drum.

Our goods were put on board the staunch little ship "Eliza Caroline," the vessel my father had built the year before. The Chief and his daughter Mary came to say good-by. Good-bys were said to our good neighbors across the river in the big house. We had all become very dear friends to each other. There were many kind wishes and God-speeds for us when the Captain said "all aboard." White sails were set and we glided from the river out onto Lake Michigan just as the sun was sinking in the west. Darkness soon shut out the forms of our friends that stood waving to us from the shore. We knew we were once more out on the water on God's great rolling cradle of the sea.

Brigham Young had already gone with a large number of Smith's followers to Salt Lake City, Utah. Strang wanted more territory, more privileges, which he knew he could not have in Kirtland, so he began to look about for a place where he could establish a kingdom over which he could rule with undisputed sway. Being a lawyer and understanding the law so perfectly he knew he could not carry out his plans unless he found some secluded place where the law of the land could not easily reach him, and where could he find a place better suited to carry out his plans than Beaver Island? In 1846, two years prior to Strang's coming to Beaver Island to establish his kingdom he was on his way west to Wisconsin. The steamer he took passage on was driven into Beaver Harbor to seek shelter from a storm. When Strang, was telling all this to my father he said. "When my eyes first rested on Beaver Island I thought it the most beautiful place on earth." At the time Strang was there, a Mr. Alva Cable from Fairport, Ohio, had located at the Point and was establishing a business. He had built a<noinclude></noinclude> 81qf46y1y5zblgc6j71ej4x9vpy90i9 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/68 104 4847485 15134473 15131949 2025-06-14T20:52:36Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15134473 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|62|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>dock, a store and a fine large dwelling and was already buying fish from the fishermen and shipping them to outside markets. {{ph|STRANG'S FIRST COMING TO THE ISLAND WITH HIS PEOPLE.}} Strang had already settled in his mind to locate at Cheboygan, Mich., having looked over the location. Mackinac Island being just near enough for him to get their supplies. At that time Mackinac Island was the largest fish market in northern Michigan, furnishing supplies to the whole north shore and fishermen among the great number of islands, its several stores furnishing everything necessary to the people around and being in close touch with the outside world, having a post-office and mails coming there from Detroit. But when Strang saw Beaver Island, its beautiful harbor, fine timber and natural beauty of scenery, the thought came to him like an inspiration, and he said, "This is where I will come to build up my kingdom." And when he saw all the improvements being done he had no doubt but he could soon have all the people about the shore as his followers. But there was much to hinder before he could persuade many of his followers to come and locate on a lonely island, as it seemed to them, in the middle of Lake Michigan. Also Strang's wife was not a believer in the Mormon doctrine, having no faith in the revelations he claimed to have; but Strang had a great command of language and possessed a strong will power. He at last persuaded a few of<noinclude></noinclude> fm8s91i102ft6d6xpsh3123iovn427x Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/69 104 4847486 15134474 15131950 2025-06-14T20:53:13Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15134474 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|63|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>his followers to come with him to Beaver Island, where they landed from a steamer in the early part of June, 1848, two years after he had first seen the island. About twenty-five people came with him, and before navigation closed over a hundred more had landed, most of them being all unprepared for a long, cold winter on an island where the snows were extremely deep in winter. {{ph|PAYMENT TIME FOR THE INDIANS.}} The whole surrounding country at that time was a wilderness. White settlers were few in number. There were many different tribes of Indians wandering about from place to place on their hunting and fishing tours. They were all peaceably inclined, many remained long enough to plant small gardens near the shores, but never clearing the land at any distance back from the shore. The woods were filled with abundance of game to satisfy all their wants and needs. The red men of the forest were best satisfied in their own native wilds. They were nature's children. The trees, flowers, buds, leaves and waves on the shore all whispered their mystery of the great and good Spirit that ruled all things. In those days the Indians were receiving payments from the government. An agent was employed with a clerk to make these annual payments. Sometimes the money would be paid out at Sault Ste. Marie, sometimes Green Bay was the place of gathering, other times Mackinac Island. Then the tribes would gather from far and near, bringing their whole families to receive their money.<noinclude></noinclude> 9pbhdps255wb3ay3pyy2k2sffydvrwl Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/70 104 4847488 15134476 15131953 2025-06-14T20:53:50Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15134476 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|64|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>That was a happy time for the red man and his family to know the "Great Father" at Washington was such a friend. Payment time, as it was called, also made trade for the white man. {{ph|THE INDIANS AND THEIR ISLANDS.}} There was a large band of Indians living on Garden Island, three miles distant north from Beaver Island. This island had been deeded to them by the government as their own. Also another island about six miles west of Beaver Island, called High Island. Both these Islands were fertile, covered with heavy timber, and both afforded good fishing opportunities with good harbors at each island. Strang's people never having seen Indians before were naturally very timid, especially when the Indians gathered at Beaver Harbor to sell their fish and being friendly often called at the Chemokamon's house. The Indian being of an inquisitive nature, wanted to see how the white brothers lived in their homes. Strang himself said he felt none too sure of his own life when he saw so many coming to his home, but the Indians and their squaws with their papooses on their backs, that being the fashion of carrying their young children, were always smiling and good natured, which very soon reassured Strang and his people that they were friendly and meant them no harm. At first the Mormons always kept their doors locked and barred. Strang soon preached to them to leave their doors open to their Indian friends, which they did with the faith that their King knew best. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> tex1cqwr49s8eyaxefduk4n6yi67dnd Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/73 104 4847489 15134491 15131954 2025-06-14T21:08:17Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15134491 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|65|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>{{ph|STRANG CALLING ON US.}} About the time my people came to Beaver Island the property at the Point in Beaver Harbor was just changing hands, Mr. Alva Cable having sold his dock and buildings to a Mr. Peter McKinley from Painesville, Ohio, who came with his family and took possession at once, putting in a supply of provisions for the fall trade with the fishermen. Strang soon called on our people, and was anxious to have my father build our home near the Mormon settlement at the harbor, promising there would be plenty of work, as more of his people were constantly coming. Strang was so friendly and sent many of his people to call on us. His wife also called on us. She was a bright, sensible, noble woman, and we found her friendship was true. My mother being a nurse, Strang told her he would always be glad of her assistance when any of his people were sick. Our people had never heard about Mormons before and knew nothing about their belief or doctrine. Mother told me many times afterward it seemed very strange to her seeing the Mormon women dressed in short dresses with hair cut short and keeping Saturday for their Sunday. When mother spoke to them about it they told her that King Strang had all these revelations from God and that, he being their leader, they must obey what he said. {{ph|FIRST SETTLERS.}} Our house was soon finished.

They had bought a small piece of land from the government, making themselves at home the year previous to the coming of the Mormons. They were an Irish family with considerable means. They first came to Mackinac Island to visit a nephew, Mr. P. Kilty. They took a little trip to Beaver Island with others, and were so pleased with it, thinking it would soon be settled and make a desirable place to live. Their name was Loaney, and the place where they located has always borne the name of Loaney's Point. It was on the south side of Beaver Harbor, distant about two miles from the village. On the end of Loaney's Point rests a large boulder which has always been a land mark, sometimes looming up looking like a great black steamer near the shore. Mr. Loaney's nephew, P. Kilty, also located at the Island and was driven away with the rest of the Gentiles, returning again after the Mormons were sent away from the Island, residing many years there and being a successful fisherman and farmer. His son, Mr. Peter Kilty, is now, and has been for several years, a captain on one of the large steamboats on lake Michigan. The old couple, Mr. and Mrs. Loaney, had some sad experience with their Mormon neighbors, losing their home and all they had by their persecutions. After the Mormons were driven off the Island Mr. Loaney returned and was appointed keeper of the Beaver Island lighthouse at the head of the Island, holding the position several years, he being the second keeper having charge<noinclude></noinclude> r981ued8fertp8hge3mv3q9h3e1whr1 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/75 104 4847491 15134508 15131958 2025-06-14T21:20:39Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15134508 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|67|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>of that station, a Mr. Van Allen being the first keeper when the light was first erected. {{ph|PREPARING FOR WINTER.}} The winter of 1849 was an extremely cold winter, with heavy ice and deep snows. Our summer boarders had all packed and gone to their homes. Father had brought our provisions home and packed it away for winter use. Many of our Mormon neighbors with their children came often to see us, and we children played with them. Mr. Loaney had some cows and Auntie Loaney was always bringing us milk as well as to her Mormont neighbors. Our boys and father and mother were very busy making a large fishing seine for a man in Ohio who was coming the next spring. {{ph|GOING OVER TO THE POINT TO DINNER WITH THE MCKINLEYS.}} Before the ice came in the fall father took us all in our boat across to the Point so mother could do some shopping. Mr. McKinley was a very kind and pleasant man and would have us go to his house for dinner. He wanted us to get acquainted with his family. Father took us over to their nice, large and comfortable home. Mrs. McKinley was very kind and seemed pleased to see us. She was a pretty, bright-faced woman, slender, with dark hair and eyes. She had three little girls, Sarah the eldest, Effie and Mary. We children were soon acquainted, playing with the dolls and having tea with the children's little dishes.

She was very kind to us, giving us many slices of bread and butter with cups of milk. I remember the children had such beautiful hair, which I admired so much. Mother helped to set the table and get the dinner on the table, as they boarded several of their help. Our boys were out exploring the Point with some Mormon boys. When we were ready to go home Mrs. McKinley filled a great basket with large red apples for us to take home. Father thanked her, saying he ought not to take them, as he had two barrels at the store for winter use. She said, "Do take these apples, they came from home in Ohio and are better than the apples at the store. Now I want you to have them." We children played together until the last moment. The little girls gave me large packages of candy. Kissing them I promised to come again sometime. Mrs. McKinley was very kind, wanting us all to come again. Father told me afterward when I was older how lonely she was, missing her Ohio home so much. She asked father what he thought about our Mormon neighbors. He said he knew very little about them, so far they had been very kind and pleasant. She told him her fears, saying, "I have no faith in Strang at all. I fear he is misleading those people and I am afraid they will cause us all lots of trouble before long, but my husband thinks they are a well-meaning people. We have invested considerable money, which I feel quite sure we shall regret."

She liked Mrs. Strang, as everybody did who knew her. Soon after this the cold snows of winter were upon us, ice made very fast. We heard no more the whistle of the boats, and saw no more the white sails of the vessels and fish boats that sailed in and out of the pretty harbor. I was young, yet I remembered and missed all these things. {{ph|KIND NEIGHBORS.}} I was never tired going over to see Uncle and Auntie Loaney, as they taught us children to call them. They were a dear old couple and loved us the same as if we were their own. I remember the pretty large cat with the little white kittens. When she gave me bread and milk I would sit on her clean white floor, and it was hard to know which ate most of that bread and milk, myself or the cats. I used to take my dolls over and stay days at a time with Auntie, and when mother came after me she would say, "Oh don't take her away home. Sure you have four and I have none at all. at all. Now you must leave me one." Then little brother Charley would go and stay a while with them until he got lonely for the rest of us. In that way we took turns being with our kind, good neighbors all the time we lived near them. Some of us were always with them. They had a son married and doing business in Toronto. The next year he came to visit them for a month. Then how pleased she was to tell Michael how good we little children were to her. We children all loved them dearly. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> pnssk2jffa90yl9wlm1ysuzojv9c27m Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/78 104 4847495 15134517 15131966 2025-06-14T21:26:22Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15134517 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|70|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>Winter was advancing. There was much sickness among the Mormon people. Food was scarce with no means to buy, and clothing thin for a northern winter. Mother was called away from home to care for them, and we children were often left at home with grandpa and father. Auntie and Uncle Loaney were always coming to see how we were. I staid with them most of the time. getting lonesome often for Charley and Bob. Poor old Bob was more feeble than ever now, the cold winter bringing on rheumatism. {{ph|BOB'S NEW FRIEND.}} I remember one day Uncle Loaney coming in and saying to father, "Sure Mr. Whitney, why don't you kill that old dog? He is good for nothing and can't stand up any more." That was enough, little brother and I began to cry and then poor old grandpa, the tears rolled down his cheeks, and when he could speak he said in his broken English, "Oh don't keel Bob, you keel Bob me die too. Me and Bob good friends good many year. Oh no keel Bob." Then father explained what a long time Bob had lived and been with grandpa and how he had saved brother Toney's life the winter before. Then how sorry Uncle Loaney was, saying. "Yes let poor Bob live as long as he can." After that many were the little pails of milk sent to Bob. {{ph|SUFFERING OF THE PEOPLE.}} I remember a man came to our house one morning and two little boys were with him.

The man said, "No, I don't want to hurt you. My children are hungry." Charley ran out to tell father to come, then the man explained how hungry his family were, having no bread and no money to buy. Father gave them something to eat, and soon the children were sitting with Charley and me eating bread and butter. Father gave flour and other things for the man to carry home. {{ph|CARING FOR THE SICK AND DYING.}} Mother soon came home, telling of the want and suffering among the people. The King had gone from the Island on the last boat, leaving them to fare as best they could. They had come to the Island too late to plant anything that season and none of them knew how to fish or help themselves. They suffered cold, hunger and death that winter without complaint of their King. Their whole cry was "Oh, if our King were only here." There was some one every day to our house and Aunt Loaney's. The Mormons were in a starving condition. Father gave to them until he feared we should be left with nothing. Grandpa was afraid we children would be left hungry, so he buried many things for us. Mother and Auntie were always busy cooking and carrying food to the sick and dying.

There were several deaths in the winter and spring. After awhile father, grandpa and the boys put some nets through the ice, catching many fish for the hungry people. Our boys set hooks, showing the Mormon boys how to catch the fish to keep themselves from starving. Father and mother were so much among them they began to learn something about their strange belief, which was peculiar, their faith being all placed on their leader, "King James," as they often called. Strang, always calling upon him to help them in their trouble. Mother said to them, "Why do you call upon man to help you? Why don't you call upon God and pray to him for help?" They would not listen, saying, "Has not our King the revelations revealed to him?" {{ph|RETURN OF SPRING AND COMING OF STRANG.}} Spring had come. Our good old steamboat "Michigan" had come to our harbor once more. Strang also came. He was just as calm and serene as usual, nothing seemed to disturb him. His wife did not return until later in the season. He soon came to our house and seemed very grateful to our people for their kindness to his suffering people during his absence. When mother told him how much they had suffered he laughed, saying, "Oh, they must get used to Island life and expect to have some hardships." Soon the boats came and brought more Mormons.

Very soon they were at work clearing the land and making ready to put in crops of potatoes, corn and other vegetables. There were several families who came from Texas, bringing their horses with them, with wagons and a few cows. Of course those who had plenty had to share with those who had little and give their every tenth part to the King's treasury, and very often giving more to help out extra expenses. Strang seemed in excellent spirits and went about from house to house, talking and encouraging his people, and father said no one would think they had passed through such trouble so recently. Soon it was planned to give a feast in honor of the King's return, and great were the preparations going on among the Mormons. {{ph|JAMES CABLE SETTLING AT THE HEAD OF BEAVER ISLAND.}} With the springtime also came many fishermen to all of the islands, and many settled along the east shore of Beaver Island as far up as the light house at the head of the Island. A Mr. James Cable, nephew of Mr. Alva Cable, had now come to locate at the head of Beaver Island, three miles north of the light-house point. James Cable came from York State. He was a bright, smart, enterprising young man, recently married to a most estimable young lady of the same city where he lived. They came with their little son Claude, a child of about two years old.

Mr. C. R. Wright, also another man from New York State, settled at Cable's dock and carried on a large cooper shop to supply the barrels for the fishermen, which became a great industry. Mr. Cable, with all the rest of the Gentiles, was compelled to leave Beaver Island in 1852, not feeling safe to remain longer. After the death of King Strang he returned, taking possession again of his property, carrying on the business with success for several years. Feeling his need of rest he closed out his business and bought the property at Mackinac Island known as the "Astor House." Several of the men who had been with us the year before now returned again and were boarding with us. There were two brothers that came. Their names were Thomas and Samuel Bennett. Thomas was married when he came and they soon took some land, built a house and put in some crops. They also were in the fishing business. They never were very friendly with the Mormons. {{ph|STRANG'S REVELATIONS.}} Soon after Strang's coming after that terrible winter of cold and suffering among his people, he claimed to have had several new revelations which must be told to his people.

It would seem in his talk to them about his new revelations that he told them God was sending many Gentiles to be a help and a support to God's people, meaning themselves, the Latter Day Saints, and that it was right for his people to take whatever was necessary for them to have. That it was their privilege to take from the Gentiles. This was the first time that the King had openly given any orders of that nature to his people. Whether any Gentile had ever been admitted within the council room was never known, or whether some of his own people told what had been said, which many of us thought might be the case, but the news soon spread, and from that time no Gentile felt secure about his property. My father once asked Strang if he had ever preached to his people and given such orders. He answered he had not, but their actions soon told what their instructions had been. {{ph|ROBBING THE GENTILES.}} His people soon began to take from the Gentiles whatever they could get. Up to this time the feeling between the Mormons and Gentiles had been very friendly, the fishermen being glad to have the Island settled with a good peaceful people as they had until now seemed to be. Mr. Peter McKinley at the Point was now suffering considerable losses by the Mormons taking his cattle and butchering them, also other goods which they were taking. A young man, or boy, Wheelock by name, told or gave information about the butchering of the cattle.

The boy had told the truth and had to suffer the cruel whipping. {{ph|WHIPPING OF THOMAS BEDFORD.}} A man by the name of Thomas Bedford was employed by Mr. Peter McKinley. He also gave some information about the stealing of property by the Mormons, and he also received seventy-five of the cruel stripes with the "blue beaches." For this awful treatment Mr. Bedford swore revenge. The Mormons never proved that Mr. Bedford had given any information about their stealing goods from Mr. McKinley, but just concluded he had and gave him the awful punishment. So Bedford bided his time for revenge. Strang had now a great number around him who sought his favor and were ever ready to do his bidding and many times did things he did not sanction. There were some good, kind, peaceable people that knew nothing about the working of the inner circle that surrounded the king. There was one apostle that aimed to take the King's place and be ruler himself. He was a cruel and crafty man. He took charge of all things among the people in Strang's absence. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> lpvibzlfv9pj9sksa6jyj82v7i7nvyu Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/85 104 4847504 15135444 15131985 2025-06-14T22:33:22Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15135444 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|77|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>{{ph|BUILDING TEMPLE AND PRINTING OFFICE.}} The Mormons were now building a temple after the pattern of the one at Kirtland, Ohio, and I believe of the same size.

This was fitted up as a printing office and Strang edited a paper called the "Northern Islander." The printing office still remains and was turned into a hotel and is known as the Gibson House of St. James. The Mormons were a very busy people. Those that were improving their farms and building their homes had nothing to do, as a rule, with the making of Strang's laws. He had his council men, his twelve apostles, besides elders under the apostles, members of the households of twelve. They did the voting and had all to do with making the laws, that is the laws that governed the conduct of their people. Strang had the revelations and the council of twelve voted it a law. And they had the power to enforce the law and punish any who disobeyed. So far the King had preached against polygamy and said that it should not be allowed, although there were a number of Mormons that had a number of wives apiece. Strang allowed it to be so, as he said they had practiced the law according to Joseph Smith's doctrine, and having several wives apiece he told them they might keep them, but that no more should be taken. So the men who had more than one wife kept them. Strang had many people now to control,<noinclude></noinclude> fqyt7l5bl7kxoi62bsar3g6uw5bpgsr Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/86 104 4847505 15135490 15131988 2025-06-14T22:34:05Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15135490 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|78|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>every boat during the summer season brought more converts, as he had several apostles traveling constantly about the country making new converts to their faith. Strang instructed them to make all things to appear at its best, so the people were made to believe the Island was truly the "promised land." {{ph|STRANG'S REVELATION OF POLYGAMY.}} Now the King had a new revelation that polygamy must be practiced. When he made it known to his people it gave them a great shock, as their minds had been made up that this was not to be. Strang very soon obeyed the "Divine Command" by taking a spiritual wife, or as the Mormons called it, "being sealed." Mrs. Strang, his wife, packed her clothing and taking her three children with her, left the Island, never coming back to live with him again. Strang was absent when she left, so she met with no opposition. She came back to the Island twice during his absence, gathering the people together in the temple, talking and pointing out to them the error of practicing such a doctrine, and both times she came she burned the robes which the King wore when preaching in the temple. Mrs. Mary Strang was greatly loved by all his people that knew her. Of course the King was not pleased with the interference of Mrs. Strang. {{ph|"CHARLES DOUGLAS."}} The King now took one of his young wives, had her dressed in man's apparel and travel about with him seeking after more converts.

He made a great joke of this, and boasted "Charles" was the best worker he ever had. If Strang was magnetic "Charles Douglas" was irresistible. She was a beautiful woman and extremely fine looking when dressed as "Charles Douglas." I saw Strang and "Douglas" once together. One of the Mormon apostles was living neighbor to us. Mother had sent me on an errand to their house. Strang and his companion came there to dinner. Both were dressed in plain black suits, wearing high silk hats, which was the fashion. Both were smiling and talking very pleasantly together. Of course I supposed it was a young man with Strang, but the apostle's wife told mother about it later. {{ph|A MAN WITH SEVERAL WIVES.}} There was one family living at the harbor settlement who kept a boarding house. This man had four wives. Gentiles as well as Mormons boarded with him, and many were the jokes the man had about his wives, saying he had no need of hired girls, as he had wives enough to do his work. My father was often there to take his meals, and once I remember mother was with him and took me. One of the wives was a French woman. Mother talked with her in her own language and she said she was tired of that life. She not being a favorite wife had too much work to do. She had four small children. When the other women saw her talking to mother in French they seemed not to like it, thinking perhaps she was talk-<noinclude></noinclude> ijaswacw44llujfe6btpurjzup9mihk Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/88 104 4847507 15135606 15131994 2025-06-14T22:36:00Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15135606 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|80|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>ing about them. As soon as they came into the room the French woman began to sing as though she was very happy. At another time, when she was sick and my mother was taking care of her, she said, "Only for the love I have for my children I would take poison." Many women that we met were very cheerful and pleasant, while there were many more with very sad faces and manner. When our people first lived neighbors to the Mormons they were very friendly and talked about their work. As soon as they began to take things from us they became silent and did not appear to care to meet us any more. There were a few who never changed toward us and proved friends to the last, although they had to appear sometimes to be our enemies. {{ph|BOB'S DEATH.}} One morning I missed Bob. I always ran to see him when I first got up. Sometimes it was very hard for Bob to walk, and when the warm spring sunshine came our boys and grandpa would put Bob in a nice place to lay. Now I could not find him, and when I saw mother I saw that she had been weeping and was now silent when I asked her about Bob. I ran over to Auntie Loaney's. There was grandpa. He was sobbing as if his heart would break and our boys were trying to comfort him by telling him Bob had not suffered a moment. Then I realized, Bob, my old friend, was dead, and I sobbed, "Oh, boys, what made you kill Bob?" Then they tried to explain. I could not listen. I could not understand why it should be done.

It is best his sufferings are over." We were all sad over the faithful dog's death. It was several weeks before grandpa and I could feel it was for the best. We buried him where the birds sang first in the spring. Father now thought it best to move to the head of the island, his work being there with Mr. Cable. We were beginning to fear the Mormons, as they had greatly changed toward us. In their travels up and down the island they most always stopped at our house. And sometimes there would be five or six, and very often they would ask for a meal, which we never refused to give them. Very often they remained all night, and then they were always sure to let us see the big knives they carried hanging to the belt they wore. Towards the last of our stay they carried a gun with them as well. When they came to our doors they never rapped, but simply walked in and helped themselves to a chair. We were told by some of their own people who were disgusted with Strang's doctrine that these men were just obeying the King's commands. He was trying to make all the Gentile people know the Mormons were to have their own way on the island. Just as fast as the Gentiles moved away from the Mormon settlement the Mormons followed and built their homes near to them. The Bennett brothers had already left their home at the harbor and gone to the Gentile settlement. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 66dubb65v6gqnausbw19xi83ywziii8 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/92 104 4847509 15136031 15131999 2025-06-15T00:35:34Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136031 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|82|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>{{ph|THE COUNTY SEAT OF SAINT JAMES.}} Strang had now got the county organized, being attached to Mackinac county; later it was changed to Manitou county. The county seat and post office was at the harbor, named in honor of the King "Saint James." The island was divided into three districts and townships. The town at the harbor was named in honor of the Indian Chief at Garden Island, town of "Peain." The district at the head of the Island was called Gallilee, the center, Troy, the lower. Enoch. Strang was always very kind to the Indians, trying hard to have the Chief "Peain" give him one of his handsome daughters for a wife, which the Chief refused to do. Strang now established a school for the Indians at his own expense, sent a young Mormon over to Garden Island, where he taught school for three years. At a later date the government appointed teachers and gave many years of schools to the 'Indians, my husband being one of the teachers appointed. Chief "Peain" ruled his tribe with great kindness and firmness. He was a man of noble appearance. Their tribe was the Ottawas. Myself and husband remained on their island as teachers two years, from '62 to '64. Chief "Peain" was always the friend of the Chemokamon (white man.) {{ph|MOUNT PISGAH AND INLAND LAKES.}} On Beaver Island there are six beautiful little lakes.

Font Lake is where the Mormons baptized their people, also held their yearly feasts. It is a pretty spot with a long narrow point reaching out into the Lake. This lovely lake is about half a mile distant from the harbor. Long Lake is just a short distance beyond. That, too, is a beautiful spot. Its high land on one side is covered with heavy hardwood timber and great quantities of fish are in Long Lake. Just a short distance from Long Lake is "Mount Pisgah," a high sand mountain. One can look down into the harbor from its top. That, too, has beautiful scenery all about it. The group of islands near Beaver Island can be seen from "Mount Pisgah." High Island, Trout Island, Squaw Island, which now has a fine lighthouse erected upon it. Rabbit Island and Garden Island, with Hog Island off nine miles to the east. All these Islands show from this mountain, and on a clear day it is a beautiful sight to look upon. Lake Michigan, with its dark blue waters, with so many pretty islands covered with green trees, and the white pebbly and sandy beaches, where the white sea gulls are constantly soaring about or resting upon the water. The island was very beautiful when the Mormons first went there. At that time no timber had been cut off. One can appreciate its beauty only by going out into its center and among its pretty lakes. When my people first came there to live there were still traces left of the "Beaver dams" where the busy beavers had made their homes about the little lakes. This is why the island was named "Beaver<noinclude></noinclude> 3yfjxqgtexk2htjs7aq798dslxfomve Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/94 104 4847511 15136034 15132003 2025-06-15T00:37:07Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136034 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|84|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>Island," and sometimes the whole group comes under the one name of the "Beaver Islands." {{ph|WILD ANIMALS AND BIRDS.}} At one time while I lived on the island there were several deer supposed to have come across the ice from the north shore. There was an abundance of wild duck, pigeons, partridges and wild birds of many different kinds. Foxes were plentiful, both grey and red, and once and a while a black fox. Lynx and wild cats were seen, and one old hunter declared he heard a "panther." These wild animals traveled many times across the ice in winter time from the north shore, and very often the foxes crossed from one island to another in the winter. At this date there are no wild animals, unless there might be some wild cats. I saw a wild cat that was shot there in 1882. One great reason that made the island so desirable a place to live at that time was its splendid fishing grounds. No one need to be without money in those days. Fish always brought a good price, and at the time of our Civil war brought a very high price. There were many large cooper shops run. These furnished barrels to the fishermen to pack and salt their fish in. The cooper trade was followed by a great many men. They came to the island from the cities to work through the summer season, then going home again for the winter. The climate being so pure many recovered their health that had lost it. At the present time the barrel trade is a thing of the past. Fish are packed in ice and shipped to the market<noinclude></noinclude> evr9rct8ojai40i529ii3q8ma263vnm Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/95 104 4847512 15136037 15132005 2025-06-15T00:37:53Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136037 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|85|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>fresh.

There were several families at the little settlement. Some came from Canada, others were summer people going home in the fall. Mrs. Bennett and her three children were going on a visit across the lake. Her people lived at Cross Village. Her father and mother came with their own boat to take her with them. I remember so well the morning she left us. We all felt sorry to see her go. Mr. Bennett was a fond father and kind husband. His wife and children were everything to him. There were three little girls, the eldest five, the next three years, and the baby six months. Preparations were made the evening before for an early start. Father, mother and I went to the beach to see them off. It was hard for Mr. Bennett to let them go. He kissed his children many times, then his wife, and he said, "Isabel, how can I let you go. Come back to the house, you must not go." She felt very sad, saying. "Yes, Thomas, I know you will miss us, and I will not stay so long as I was going to. I will come back in a week." Good-bys were said, little hands waved and the boat went sailing out over the rippling waves. Mrs. Bennett held the baby high in her arms for her papa to see, little white handkerchiefs were fluttered as far as we could see them. Somehow we all felt sad. Mr. Bennett walked on the<noinclude></noinclude> 4r5m8vw7m5f8f6sraa9t8ev4ls6brd9 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/96 104 4847513 15136040 15132006 2025-06-15T00:38:32Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136040 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|86|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>shore saying, "Oh, my wife, my children. Why did I let them go? I shall never see them more." We tried to comfort him, but we could not. As the darkness came on and the wind blew fiercer our hearts grew heavy. Mr. Bennett walked all night on the shore and my father with him. I lay in my bed listening to the sound of the sullen roar of the sea as the breakers dashed high on the beach. At times it seemed the waves would never stop their rolling until they swept us away. They came so near our door once or twice I went to the window to look out, and nothing but a sheet of white foam could be seen. At times it was like the sound of distant thunder as the waves broke and washed about us. All the next day the sky was dark, the waves had a moaning, sobbing sound that was very sad to hear. We waited two days, then the messengers came over from Cross Village. Two Indians were sent with a letter from the Catholic priest telling all he could of the sad accident. Early the next morning after the storm some Indians at Cross Village went to the beach to see if their canoes were all secure. The first object they saw was the boat of their neighbor drifting along the shore. No one was to be seen in the boat. They waited until the boat came in reach so they could pull it out from the breakers that still ran high. The boat was almost full of water. They took the water out as soon as possible, and in among the quilts lay little three-year-old Rebecca. She still breathed, her body was warm. The Indians in their excitement delayed taking the child to the house,<noinclude></noinclude> l1ld71yxuk2ici4wz8z8tjcewcyhs7z Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/97 104 4847514 15136041 15132008 2025-06-15T00:39:07Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136041 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|87|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>thinking there might be more bodies washed upon the shore. They carried the child to the good priest's house and everything that human power could do was done to save the child, but it was too late, "Baby Rebecca had gone to join the angels." Oh the sadness, it was hard. It seemed sometimes Mr. Bennett could not survive the shock. None of the other bodies were ever recovered. Mrs. Bennett was a very beautiful woman with a sweet, loving disposition. {{ph|THE KING'S RESIDENCE.}} About this time King Strang decided to build a residence for himself. He made the plans and called it the "King's Cottage." The King came to our house asking my father to go to the harbor and help build his house. He wanted him to do the framing, and father, not being very busy, and not liking to refuse the King, went. Father was gone about six weeks, coming home often to see how we were at home. He boarded at the house where there were four wives. The King's Cottage was built very strong. A story and a half high with a porch across the front. The wide hall went right through the center, with massive strong doors at front and back, and with an open stairway. On each side of the hall was a large room, two bedrooms, hall and closets upstairs. A white picket fence about the yard with a nice garden spot on the hillside. It was a pleasant, cosey home, and the location was most beautiful, looking out on the harbor and Lake Michigan.

The cottage was built under the small hill or terrace on a level flat and just a short distance from the docks and stores. When we arrived after the Mormons had left the island the house was in good repair. My father and mother occupied it two years, being the first ones to live in it after Strang's death. Strang had started a large addition to the cottage before he died, which was much larger than the cottage itself. The addition was put at the back of the main building, made of logs hewed on both sides, containing eight rooms. But like the cottage itself, has gone to decay. Strang remarked, "I am getting so many wives I have to enlarge my house." While father was there Ştrang invited him to dinner one day in his own home, as he said he wanted him to see how a man could get along with several wives. My father went and had a fine dinner, and Strang was very gay, entertained with many jokes and stories. The four wives had very little to say, but were smiling and pleasant and seemed very anxious to please the King. {{ph|THE KING'S JOKES.}} Strang joked about soon adding some more wives and soon starting a school for his own children, at which they all laughed. He talked continually, trying to have them all know that he was the king and having authority to rule his subjects as he pleased. When dinner was ended they went to the new cottage, Strang and the favorite wife, the other three women remained at home.

Father said this young woman was very pleasant and greatly pleased with the house. Strang seemed very affectionate to this wife. Every pleasant day they were walking about together. When father came home he said he was glad to be home again. They were all very kind to him, but it seemed terrible to see people live in that way. He told mother the women had sad faces when people saw them at their work. When Strang came again he said to mother, "I am going to make a Mormon of your husband and what will you do when he brings home more wives?" Mother said "I hope that will never happen, and if it should the women that come into my home will not have a happy time." Strang looked at her saying, "We could find a way to make everything agreeable in a very short time." Then he laughed, saying, "If you were a Mormon, Mrs. Whitney, you would think differently about these things. We believe in this doctrine and that is why we are happy." Mother said to him, "Now you can't make me believe you are as happy as you want us to think you are." He said no more and appeared thoughtful. After he was gone mother said to father, "Do take us away from this island. I am afraid of that man. No one knows what he may do yet." {{ph|THE KING'S LAWS.}} The King was very particular about the appearance of his peoples' homes.

Their yards were all laid out with care and taste, with flowers and shrubs, and nice vegetable gardens at the back, which gave all a homelike appearance. No liquor, tea, coffee or tobacco were to be used. There were men sent out every day to see that all refuse of fish was buried deep in the ground. He exacted a tax from the fishermen all along the shore of ten dollars for each boat, and as there were always a large number of boats, this added quite a little income to the King's treasury. All paid without hard feelings, as money was plenty and no one cared to have trouble with the King. The Bennetts would not pay the tax. Thomas Bennett felt he had been greatly wronged about his home, having to leave his land as his Mormon neighbors had made it so unpleasant for them, besides he felt Strang had no right to collect the tax from the fishermen. At any rate he refused to pay when Strang sent his men to collect it and the feelings between them were not very friendly. {{ph|OUR MORMON NEIGHBORS.}} The winter of 1851 my brother Lewis went to Ohio to school; my father was very sick that winter. We had two Mormon neighbors that were very kind to us. One was a good doctor, and he took care of father almost constantly with help from others. The other Mormon friend was an apostle in the church. He and his wife lived near us. He had charge of the people that lived near the Gentile settlement. They were very nice people.

The people were getting restless and divided. Many wanted to leave the island but had no means to go with, and feared to be punished if found trying to get away. A great many were opposed to polygamy. Strang tried to keep his people in harmony together, but the strife was growing every day. In the early spring Strang came to see my father. He was very sympathetic about his being so sick. Mother told him how kind Mr. Bower and Mr. Sinclair had been to us. He seemed greatly pleased and asked to know if he could do anything to help. {{ph|STRANG AND HIS FAVORITE WIFE.}} When he was leaving he said to mother, "Come over to Sinclair's. My wife is there. We have a nice baby. Come and see our baby boy." Mother took me with her to the apostle's home. There we saw the King and his favorite wife, Charles Douglas, and their baby. I, being fond of babies, wanted to hold him. I sat in a little chair and the mother put the child in my arms. The King was afraid I would let the baby fall. He never let go the child's dress. He seemed very fond of the child, and it was plain to be seen that this was his favorite wife. Most of the time he called her "Charles" and sometimes Elvira. She was very sweet and seemed very fond of her baby, yet her face seemed sad when not smiling. Her manner was quiet and her voice low. Before we left Strang took me on his lap, asking if I did not want to go to school.

When we came home mother said to father, "Don't you ever consent to send Elizabeth to the Mormon school." Strang had remained on the island that winter. Very soon after our visit to the apostle, we were startled one morning to hear several boats and nets had been taken by the Mormons, with many barrels of fish from the store houses near the lighthouse point at the head of the island. Some Ohio fishermen had stored their fish and other property expecting to come back in the spring, leaving a man to look after the property. The ice was just breaking up in the lake. The Mormons took everything to the harbor. Our people saw them passing very early in the morning. All were well armed and ready to resist any interference from the Gentiles. We Gentiles were very frightened, fearing they would take our provisions from us, as there were all sorts of rumors. Mr. Cable had a store with a stock of all kinds of merchandise for their spring trade. He feared they would demand the keys and take possession of his goods. There was very little sleep for several nights among us. Our Mormon friends who were true to us advised us all to keep very quiet and not be seen talking with them.

They were sold by the Mormons. At the harbor all was gaiety. Their theater was kept going to amuse the people with dancing parties every week. The King made it a point to entertain the sailors when vessels were detained by rough weather, and they began to think Beaver Harbor was not a bad place to be weather-bound. They found King Strang a charming entertainer. With opening of navigation the summer people came, and our house was again full of boarders. We had built a comfortable house, which was almost complete. Our regular boats were calling, business had started up and we all felt more secure from the Mormons as so many people were coming. Fishing was good, money plenty and everybody was busy. Strang had gone with his wife and child to attend outside affairs. The head apostle was in charge of everything and there was much dissatisfaction among many of his people. Several felt fear for their life, if they disobeyed the King's command. Among these was the Apostle Sinclair. {{ph|THE KILLING OF BENNETT.}} The Bennetts were living not a great distance from us. Sam, as the younger brother was called, had married a young lady from Detroit, a Miss Sullivan. Thomas now boarded at his brother's home, and was still very sad over the loss of his wife and children. I had been visiting a week with Mrs. Bennett and returned home in the morning.

The Mormons had shot him. It was hard to believe, yet it was true. The Gentiles were very much excited and sorrowful, too, as Bennett had been a favorite with us all. Could it be possible they had killed our friend and neighbor? My three brothers were dressed in their Sunday suits and walked to the harbor, grandpa going with them, fearing something might happen to the boys. Bennett had always been very fond of my brothers and they loved him. Now, they must see him buried. It was long after dark before they reached the harbor. A Mormon family, who had some boys about their age, kept them all night. The next morning they went to where the body was. It had been put in a blacksmith's shop. Dr. McCulloch opened the body to see which of the seven bullets had proved fatal. One had pierced the heart. The body was put in a plain pine coffin and buried without prayer or ceremony of any kind. The grave was near the water in a little grove of cedar trees where the sound of the waves never ceased their solemn murmurings. When my brothers visited the grave soon after it was piled high with great rocks, meaning that every Gentile would be served the same unless they obeyed the king's commands. {{ph|TO BE BROUGHT DEAD OR ALIVE.}} The killing of Bennett was a great shock to all our people, as no one believed the Mormons would carry things so far.

While attending to their work in their workhouse two Mormon men stepped in, demanding the tax money. Bennett answered, "I want to see the king before I pay it." The men went away. The Bennetts stepped out to go to their dwelling, when seven bullets were fired at once into the body of Thomas Bennett. He dropped dead instantly. The brother ran toward his house with his hand up to his head. Bullets came thick and fast around him. He was shot through the hand, shattering all his fingers on one hand. There were many shots entered the windows. Mrs. Bennett to save her life had to go into the cellar. The body of Bennett was put into his own boat with all the fish there was in the fish house, which amounted to considerable money, and taking the wounded brother with them to the harbor. There the doctor dressed his wound. Strang always declared he never gave orders to have Bennett killed or to be brought "dead or alive." Until the killing of Bennett we could not believe the Mormons meant to do us bodily harm. Now all was changed. There was no more open friendship between Mormons and Gentiles as before. They avoided us, passing us without speaking with their heads bent and eyes looking to the ground. They seemed a sad and silent people. Not long after Bennett's death I saw the king coming to our house. The very name of Strang struck a terror to my heart. I felt so afraid of them all now.

I said to mother, "Oh, where shall I go, I am so afraid of Strang?" Mother's bedstead was a high, old-fashioned one with white curtains about it. I ran and had just time to seat myself under it, and tried hard to pull the curtains around me, but my feet were left sticking out from under the curtain. {{ph|STRANG HAVING DINNER WITH US.}} Strang walked in, seating himself in a chair, saying: "Good morning, Mrs. Whitney." Mother greeted him very coolly, as she had not seen him since Bennett's death. How my heart did beat when he asked where my father was. Then I was sure he wanted to take me away to the harbor to school. Mother told him father would soon be in to dinner, which she was then preparing. Strang said: "I guess I will stay to dinner, Mrs. Whitney, and have some of your nice baked whitefish, which I see you have." He saw her putting it into the oven. He talked about many things and after a little while he said, "Where is your little girl?" Then I was sure he would take me away. I wanted to scream, but kept quiet. Mother told him, "The child is afraid of you since you had Bennett killed." He came over to the bed, getting down on his knees, saying, "Come out, child; I will not hurt you. Come and sit on my lap." I drew back. He pulled me out by the hand, taking me in his arms and sitting in the chair he stroked my hair, saying: "I will not hurt you, child.

The bodies were never recovered, and only those who have passed through the same know what a sorrow it is to lose your loved one by drowning and not be able to recover the remains. It is a sorrow that never ends through life. {{ph|MY APPOINTMENT AS LIGHT-KEEPER.}} Life to me then seemed darker than the midnight storm that raged for three days upon the deep, dark waters. I was weak from sorrow, but realized that though the life that was dearest to me had gone, yet there were others out on the dark and treacherous waters who needed to catch the rays of the shining light from my light-house tower. Nothing could rouse me but that thought, then all my life and energy was given to the work which now seemed was given me to do. The light-house was the only home I had and I was glad and willing to do my best in the service. My appointment came in a few weeks after, and since that time I have tried faithfully to perform my duty as a light keeper. At first I felt almost afraid to assume so great a responsibility, knowing it all required watchful care and strength, with many sleepless nights. I now felt a deeper interest in our sailors' lives than ever before, and I longed to do something for humanity's sake, as well as earn my own living, having an aged mother dependent upon me for a home. My father had passed beyond. Sorrows came thick and fast upon me.

Many nights when a gale came on we could hear the flapping of sails and the captain shouting orders as the vessels passed our point into the harbor, seeking shelter from the storm. Sometimes we could count fifty and sixty vessels anchored in our harbor, reaching quite a distance outside the point, as there was not room for so many inside. They lay so close they almost touched at times. At night our harbor looked like a little city with its many lights. It was a pleasant sound to hear all those sailors' voices singing as they raised the anchors in the early morning. With weather fair and white sails set the ships went gliding out so gracefully to their far away ports. My brothers were sometimes on those ships. Many captains carried their families on board with them during the warm weather. Then what a pleasure to see the children and hear their sweet voices in song in the twilight hours. Then again when they came on shore for a race on land, or taking their little baskets went out to pick the wild strawberries. All these things made life the more pleasant and cheerful. {{ph|DEATH OF MY HUSBAND, THE LIGHT-KEEPER.}} Life seemed very bright in our light house beside the sea. One dark and stormy night we heard the flapping of sails and saw the lights flashing in the darkness. The ship was in distress. After a hard struggle she reached the harbor and was leaking so badly she sank. My husband in his efforts to assist them lost his life.

In the spring of 1870 a large force of men came with material to build a new tower and repair the dwelling, adding a new brick kitchen. Mr. Newton with his two sons had charge of the work. A new fourth order lens was placed in the new tower and the color of the light changed from white to red. These improvements were a great addition to the station from what it had been. Our tower was built round with a winding stairs of iron steps. My husband having now very poor health I took charge of the care of the lamps, and the beautiful lens in the tower was my especial care. On stormy nights I watched the light that no accident might happen. We burned the lard oil, which needed great care, especially in cold weather, when the oil would congeal and fail to flow fast enough to the wicks. In long nights the lamps had to be trimmed twice each night, and sometimes oftener. At such times the light needed careful watching. From the first the work had a fascination for me. I loved the water, having always been near it, and I loved to stand in the tower and watch the great rolling waves chasing and tumbling in upon the shore. It was hard to tell when it was loveliest. Whether in its quiet moods or in a raging foam. {{ph|VESSELS SEEKING SHELTER FROM THE STORMS.}} My three brothers were then sailing, and how glad I felt that their eyes might catch the bright rays of our light shining out over the waste of<noinclude></noinclude> bt7wjvco2j387sxmi5vepd91b27re79 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/230 104 4847531 15136461 15132034 2025-06-15T04:33:37Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136461 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|212|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>{{ph|WENTWORTH'S VISIT TO HIS ISLAND HOME.}} Soon after I was married Alexander Wentworth, one of the men that shot Strang, boarded with us for several weeks. He came back to the island to visit and see how things were prospering. He was a fine looking and intelligent man, very quiet in his manner. We had several other boarders at the same time, people who came to see King Strang's Island. Alec, as they always called him, was their guide to show them the best fishing streams and take them to hunt ducks and wild pigeons. I often talked with Wentworth about the shooting of Strang, asking him if he had any regrets about what he had done. He said, "I have never yet regretted what I did. The Mormon life was bad, and there was no good in it as I can see and I would not live it over again for anything." The place he liked to go best was to little Font Lake to the "Johnson House," his wife's old "Island Home." This had been the second season he came. After that he never came again and we never heard from him any more. {{ph|MY HUSBAND APPOINTED LIGHT-KEEPER.}} The winter of 1865 we spent a very pleasant winter in Northport, the next winter in Charlevoix, where we had built us a new home on Bridge street. We sold and returned again to the island, engaging in the fishing business quite extensively for a few years. In August of 1869 Mr. Peter McKinley resigned his position as light-keeper, my husband being appointed in his place.

They learned rapidly to make their gardens, to plant corn and vegetables. but these little flower seeds, they could not manage them. Chief Peain was a very social, intelligent man. He watched the process of making the flower beds and the putting in of the small seeds. Then he said, "Too much work for Indian." He then took many of the boys and girls with some of the older ones to help clearing off three or four acres of land, put a brush fence around it, they then took the flower seeds of the different kinds, sowing them like grain and raked them in. Well, such a flower garden was never seen! There was every flower in the catalogue growing up together, and never were flowers enjoyed as those Indians enjoyed that flower garden. Every day at all hours could be seen both old and young going out to look at the bright flowers. Old grandmothers with the little grand children would sit in the shade near the flowers and work the pretty beads on the deerskin moccasins while the children played and amused themselves. As soon as school was over then the race began for the flower garden. And it was a pleasure to us to see them so happy. It was called The Chief's Garden." He was greatly pleased with the bright flowers, and had us write a letter of thanks to the Indian agent for him. We always had several friends visiting us from Milwaukee and other cities, which made the time seem all too short. I often look back to that two years of my life and feel that my time was not wasted. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> dva0htvgh4lruceuklf5nuv2jfubjgq Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/211 104 4847534 15136444 15132037 2025-06-15T04:16:57Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136444 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|193|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>with rose bushes at the head. We went up stairs and saw the large dancing hall with its waxed floors which were still glossy. She told me how beautifully it had been furnished. The parlors and all the rooms were large. Rose bushes grew near the windows, flower gardens with blooming flowers. The setting sun was shining through the windows; the house was clean and it seemed the occupants had just cleaned house and not yet arranged the furniture. It had such a bright, cheerful look. Some city visitors had lived there all summer. Yes, these people were another disappointed family. They had a very handsome daughter highly educated and a fine musician. Strang and "Douglass" used to go there to the parties given, the family not knowing at first that "Charles Douglas" was a woman, that being another one of the king's jokes. Mr. Wentworth married this daughter and the king's visits became disagreeable to the young wife. This caused hard feelings and may have been one of the reasons for Wentworth's shooting the king. We hurried home as the sun was sinking in the west, and I wanted to get away from all these empty houses, for every one seemed like an open grave. I staid with Mary all night and her mother told me many things about their life on the island. {{ph|MRS.

We went to hear them, and, like many others, were greatly pleased. Strang did most of the talking himself. He was a brilliant talker. He had such a bright, cheerful manner we were won from the first. We sold our home, the other neighbors doing the same, and in a short time started for the "Promised Land." When we reached here we found nothing as it had been represented to us. The island was in its wild natural state. A few had cleared some land and were struggling along the best they could. Our first winter was a hard one, and I cannot bear to think how sadly we were disapointed. When I asked Strang why we had not been told the truth he always turned it off in some way, talking so encouragingly and always making us see the brightest side. Life became busy, as we had a large family dependent upon us. We had some money saved and bought this land and built this house, which you see is large and comfortable. Our children were sent to school and we were beginning to feel quite contented. I often went to hear Strang preach, but I did not feel satisfied, his doctrine did not sound the same as he told it to us before we left our old home, and he was having so many "New Revelations" that I soon lost what little belief I had ever had in the doctrine. Somehow it was different from what my old family Bible taught me, but I said very little about it at first, although a few of us women used to say Strang had too many revelations to be true. He never spoke anything to me about them, but often<noinclude></noinclude> ef7s6v6dlget29f0e8vk63cf68b2cth Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/213 104 4847536 15136446 15132041 2025-06-15T04:19:08Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136446 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|195|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>spoke to other women he called upon. Very soon he preached in the temple that he had a new revelation that all the apostles and officers in the Church of Zion must take more wives, and had already taken more himself. This preaching stirred us women up, as he had preached before against polygamy, and about this time I found the king was urging my husband to accept a high office in the church. I called upon the king, asking if this was all true that we heard. He answered in a very decided tone, "Yes, it is true, and the law will be enforced if you do not quietly submit." I told him I would never submit or consent to another woman coming into my house while I lived. He said. "You are not yet high enough in the faith to understand the true meaning of being sealed to spiritual wives." Well, I tell you I was mad. I went home, and in a few days I joined with several other women. We went to the temple, I carrying my family Bible, and there we faced the King. We women talked faster than he could. He tried to have us stopped but could not. You know how it all ended; I was sorry to see him killed, yet I knew something terrible would happen to him and I told him so when I talked that day. I said such things cannot go on any longer. All these homes would not be empty had Strang lived according to the doctrine he preached to us before we sold our old homes and came here; we would have been a happy, contented people, but his teachings were all false from beginning to end, and he has suffered the same fate of Joseph Smith, whose example he followed.

It is all ended and I am glad I never knew anything more about Mormonism than I have since I came here." {{ph|BURNING OF THE MORMON TEMPLE.}} At the time the Mormons left the island the temple was left standing. The excitement was so great and the Gentiles feared the Mormons might return with another leader in Strang's place, so they thought best to burn the temple. It was of the exact pattern as the one at Kirtland, Ohio, as Strang had built it after the same plans. The building was all up and inclosed, but not yet finished. The large room used for preaching was also used for the council room. {{ph|ROCKY MOUNTAIN OR INDIAN POINT.}} In my rides about the island there were many narrow paths in every direction and the young growth of trees made it almost impossible to pass through. We would come upon many little log cabins in the dense woods with no clearing except a small yard and I wondered why this was so. I was told these were some of the places where they used to secrete stolen goods, it being such an out-of-the-way place and in the dense woods no one would expect to find a house. One of the band of "Forty Thieves" who lived with us a few months after I was married and keeping house, told us there were<noinclude></noinclude> 3vp306ifmb0j821rflp6bpp9sj48ncf Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/215 104 4847539 15136448 15132044 2025-06-15T04:22:03Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136448 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|197|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>many such places about that locality of Rocky Mountain, or Indian Point as it has always been called late years, where goods could be hid and they could hide themselves so as not to be found by any stranger. The very mention of the band of "Forty Thieves" struck terror to people's hearts in the days of Mormon rule. There were rumors of many dark deeds done by that band of highwaymen, or pirates as they were sometimes called. It was common talk among Gentiles, and told us by some of their own people who were not very loyal to the king, that vessels were plundered and the crews never heard from. Of course this none of us knew to be true, yet a great many things happened to lead us to think that it might be a possibility. When my people came back to the island there was still a great quantity of goods left stored away in some houses up in that part called "Enoch," about one mile distant from the harbor. There were several boxes of shoes, some crates of dishes partly full, screen cupboards, furniture, chairs and tables. One small house was almost full of stoves. All these goods were new and did not seem to have been damaged. The people who came had helped themselves to all they wanted and wondered where all the goods came from. This helped to make the rumors prove more true that vessels had been plundered and the crews killed. One of our lake captains told me he had a brother who was last seen at Beaver harbor. The vessel and crew were never heard from and no one knew their fate.

We often went rowing and sailing in that direction and we were sure to say, "Let's look for the wreck." I asked the young man that boarded with us about it, as he had once been a member of the "Secret Society." I said, "Is it true? Has there been such things done?" He said, "If only these stones could talk they would tell you of some things that would horrify you, and though I am free from Mormon rule, I would not dare to tell you some things which our band was sworn to do. We were trained for our work and were known among ourselves as the "Secret Society." It meant sure death to any of us to betray anything pertaining to our business." He was only eighteen at the time he joined the "Secret Society." He often had spells of great sadness and many nights walked the floor because he could not sleep. Once I said to him, "Did the King ever give you orders what to do?" He said, "At first the orders were given our captains by the King, but it was not long before we never waited for orders from headquarters.

It was a lonely place, with the waves rolling in over the rocky shore where we went to the beach and the woods were dense. I had heard so many stories of the Mormons' doings there I felt afraid and told Mary I wanted to hurry away, which we did as fast as our horses could travel through the path. When we came to "Page Town" then the spell was broken. No one could look upon this beautiful place and feel fear. The view is grand out over the water to the neighboring islands and the evergreens are most beautiful. "Page Town" is just on the Lake Michigan side of Font Lake. We could see the Johnson House as we rested on the bank of the lake. There were about a dozen houses scattered about, some right near the bank and others back in among the evergreens. It was named in honor of Mr. Page, who first built his house there with several of his relatives. The location is most beautiful. At this spot Lake Michigan is not quite a half mile from Font Lake. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 7e2yn54smoiggxsbj5i77p34up8l06a Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/218 104 4847544 15136455 15132049 2025-06-15T04:25:34Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136455 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|200|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>The land is a little rolling going out to Font Lake, which gives it a most beautiful view all about. The road was good to the portage. We rode around by the Station Hill, a station put there for government survey, and is a most beautiful place for a look-out, with its white sandy beach and clear water sparkling in the sunlight. During my stay on the island that was always a favorite place to go for a quiet, restful stroll, and our summer visitors never failed to visit Station Hill. There Garden Island, with its lovely green trees, was a pleasant view. {{ph|VISITING THE LIGHT KEEPER AND HIS WIFE.}} From there Mary and I turned our horses' heads toward the point to visit the light keeper and his wife. They were a dear old couple. They would not let us go before we had tea with them. Their children were all married but one daughter. She was visiting with her sister, Mrs. E. Kanter, in Detroit, and expected to remain there for the winter. The old couple had a young boy named Anthony Frazier living with them. Their home was a marvel of neatness. Their name was Granger. He had been light-keeper at Bois Blanc, near Mackinac Island. His son had taken his place and Mr. Lyman Granger had come to take charge of Beaver Island harbor light, just erected the year before. They took us in the tower to see the lamp It was in beautiful order. Mrs. Granger seeing to the polishing of the lamp and fixtures herself.

Then Mr. Peter McKinley was appointed keeper, where he remained nine years with his two young daughters, Effie and Mary. He lost his health soon after his appointment, but the girls took charge of the light house and were faithful to their charge during the whole time of their stay, finally resigning to go away. {{ph|OUR SCHOOL TEACHERS.}} There were always good schools at the island, having several teachers from the city at different times. I will mention a few of our city and island teachers. The city teachers were Miss Ann E. Granger, Detroit; Clara Holcomb, Fremont, Ohio; Miss Belle and Hattie Buckland, Buffalo, N. Y.; Miss J. Voas and Miss J. V. Wilkes, both of Buffalo, N. Y. Our island teachers were C. R. Wright, Michael F. O'Donnell, Miss Effie McKinley, Miss Sarah O'Malley, Miss Sarah J. Gibson, Miss Annie Gibson, and many others. There were two brothers, Charles and George Gillett, of Detroit, Mich. They came several summers. Both were fine musicians. They were sure to be on our first boat in the spring, remaining until fall. One spring Charles came alone. The younger brother had died during the winter. We missed his pleasant face and sweet music. When the other brother returned home that fall he took a bride with him, marrying Miss Clara Holcomb, of Fremont, Ohio. Life on the island was never dull. Our summer friends were pleasant, friendly people, making the life happier by<noinclude></noinclude> s9fqsazggqen2ac0yuixikbjx5l5687 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/220 104 4847547 15136473 15132053 2025-06-15T04:49:16Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136473 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|202|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>their coming. Good books were sent us for winter reading, and many little tokens of remembrance were often sent us. We gladly hailed the first boat in the spring because it always brought some friends from the outside world. {{ph|GOING TO MACKINAC ISLAND.}} I was again on board the steamer Michigan. The same captain, the same crew; Jane, the cabin maid was there with her pleasant smile. There were several passengers from Green Bay going to Mackinac Island, for it was payment time. Among the passengers was Mr. Scott, of Green Bay, who once lived at Mackinac Island. Another was Mr. Michael Dousman, he being another that had lived many years on Mackinac Island. His home then being in Milwaukee. When we landed at Mackinac Island the entire beach from Mission House Point to the place where the "Grand" now stands was filled with a row of Indian wigwams. There were Indians wearing their blankets and the women dressed in bright gay colors with their papooses strapped on their backs in their Indian cradles. The cradles were trimmed with gay colored ribbons. Dogs and children were all mixed up together. Many squaws were pounding Indian corn to make soup for their supper. The streets near the water at Mackinac looked very bright in their gay colors. Indian women and their children were strolling and chatting together looking at the bright colored goods, while the men were most of the time walking about the streets wrapped in their<noinclude></noinclude> a6ybxtrs3g96lzo0kfzt8uyu7oiawbi Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/221 104 4847549 15136472 15132057 2025-06-15T04:48:00Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136472 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|203|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>white blankets, they talking together in low tones. Perhaps telling about how their grandfathers had met for councils of war at this same place so many years before. The island was just as beautiful as ever. It was early spring time when I saw it last with the straits full of floating ice. Now the grass was green and the trees were in autumn dress with the beautiful evergreens mixed in among the pretty colored leaves of maple and birch. The crisp autumn air gave new life after a hot summer. It had been a busy season with summer visitors and a few had lingered for payment time. {{ph|MY RETURN TO BEAVER ISLAND.}} My visit of a month was greatly enjoyed and I returned to Beaver Island, entering school at once. Our winter was a cold one, with heavy ice in the lake, but the next spring we had the steamer Michigan in our harbor on April first. There was still drifting ice, fishing soon began and the summer was a busy one, with many summer visitors. Our island people were very happy not to be disturbed any more by the Mormons or have their property stolen. There were several Irish families that came as soon as the Mormons left, and more soon followed. They bought the land and made themselves homes. Among those that came was our genial friend Capt. Roddy, so well known all over Northern Michigan. He was a true sailor, owning several sailing crafts at different times, also owning a very fine farm on<noinclude></noinclude> kacwh2yfgbfi8iz0z37kpqldagj2u7g Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/222 104 4847551 15136469 15132060 2025-06-15T04:46:46Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136469 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|204|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>the island. He lived there a number of years. He died leaving his family very comfortable. Many of the people who came to the island bought land and took some of the houses the Mormons had left that were around the harbor and moved them to other locations, so that in a few years the island was changed in its appearance by the buildings being taken away from where they had been. Soon there were enough people to support a church, then a Catholic Priest came, and by subscription a church was built, the Protestants helping. Rev. Father Murray was the first priest stationed there. He was a very social and kind hearted man. After him came Rev. Father Gallagher, a young student just from college. His former home was Philadelphia. He made many improvements to the church building, devoting his whole time to his people. He was a jolly social man and a great entertainer. He passed away after a useful life of thirty-two years service. His remains were taken to his native city, Philadelphia, for interment. {{ph|THE GIBSON HOUSE.}} Mr. Robert Gibson and wife came to the island the spring of 1858, buying the property of the old Mormon printing office, converting it into a hotel known ever since as "The Gibson House." Its doors have been open to guests up to the present. Mr. Gibson died some years ago, since which time his widow, Mrs. Julia Gibson, with her family, have continued the business with success. The "King Strang Cottage" has gone to ruin.<noinclude></noinclude> h4jhvruvg2j66b1bxhj8yszwhq11az2 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/223 104 4847553 15136468 15132062 2025-06-15T04:44:38Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136468 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|205|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>What little there was left of it after summer visitors had carried away pieces as relics took fire and burned. Capt. Bundy with his gospel ship "Glad Tidings" often came to our harbor and sailing around other parts of the shores and islands in later years holding religious services among the people. {{ph|THE NURSE'S STORY.}} Soon after our return to the island after the going away of the Mormons I became acquainted with a lady that had come to the island just a few weeks before Strang was shot. She came to visit her brother. She was a nurse. She told me what a sad time it was to those people when their king was shot. Some would not believe until they saw him. Soon after Strang was carried home the doctor sent a messenger to this lady to come and take charge of the sick room, as no one else could be found capable, all being in such an excited state of mind. She said, "When I reached Strang's home I found him resting under an opiate. His wounds had been dressed. The doctor was sitting beside the bed. I knew him well and he motioned me to a seat. I went across the hall into another room, hearing the sounds of crying and sobbing. There I saw the four wives with several neighbor women all in a sorrowful state of mind. There was one that sat by herself by an open window looking out over the water. She was silent and quiet with a far away look in her eyes. I motioned to the rest to be quiet, as I feared it would disturb the sick<noinclude></noinclude> mo489tmev7akm6jzonkdmpf3qn2dnef Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/224 104 4847554 15136467 15132063 2025-06-15T04:43:09Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136467 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|206|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>man. I went close and spoke to the quiet woman. She was the one called "Douglas," the favorite wife. Strang often called her Charley. I told her why I had come, that I had been sent for. She roused herself up, saying, "Oh yes, now I remember some one is needed in the sick room." She seemed to be almost in a dream. I said to her, "This may not be so bad. He may get well." She shook her head, her lips quivered, then she spoke in low tones to me, saying, "No, he says himself he can't get well and he wants the doctor to take him away from the island." She stopped a moment and then went on, "He wants to go to his wife in Wisconsin. He says he must go. The doctor told him he had better not go, but his mind is made up to go. And I think it is best, but the rest don't think so," meaning the other three women. She told me where I could find everything I needed. There were soon large crowds gathering about the house, women were wringing their hands and sobbing aloud. The quiet woman went out among them, telling them they must be quiet and not disturb the sick man, but they did not seem to know what she said. They acted as if they were dazed. The doctor went out and explained to them that they must be quiet. Some of them went away, others sat down on the grass, sobbing quietly, seeming almost heartbroken. I was in the room when Strang awoke. The doctor was near him. The first words he spoke were, "Doctor can I go? Will a boat soon come to take me home to my wife?" His voice was strong. The doctor answered, "We will think about this<noinclude></noinclude> qb2wcr91nndjcmljjgm5xqcq03rr3i8 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/225 104 4847555 15136466 15132064 2025-06-15T04:41:54Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136466 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|207|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>later." "No doctor I must go, I cannot die here on the island. I must go to my wife and children. I must see her before I die. I can't get well, I know it, and I know she will forgive me." His voice was pleading. It was hard for the doctor to know just what to do or say to him. I soon went to him with some drink. He looked straight in my face saying, "Tell the doctor I must go home to my wife and children. I am going to die." Then after a few moments of quietness he exclaimed, "If I had only heeded her counsel this would not have happened." His pleadings never ceased until the doctor said. "Yes. I will take you." Such a look of joy came over his face and the great tears started from his eyes. The quiet woman came and took his hand and wiped away the tears, but he seemed not to see her. He repeated several times, "I am going home to Mary." His eyes had a far away look and his mind was not dwelling on the daily cares, and he took no interest in anything about the house. He never mentioned anything about the business of the temple, as his only desire was to live until he reached his wife. This quiet woman that seemed so much to him before was nothing to him now. Her sorrow was great but she bore it quietly and helped in the preparations to make him comfortable on his journey, knowing she would never see him again in this life. Four days after he was wounded he was carried on board the steamer. The scene was a sorrowful one; everybody came to see their King who had taught them no harm could come to him. Strang was calm and quiet<noinclude></noinclude> o7gc3behafk0ulfcvfztg2ga72m0oux Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/226 104 4847557 15136465 15132066 2025-06-15T04:40:46Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136465 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|208|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>through it all, for to him they only seemed as passing friends. His thoughts were not of earth and his lips moved often as if in prayer. He stood the journey well, and the kind and loving wife freely forgave him as he died in her arms. He suffered much, but bore it bravely, seeming perfectly satisfied to be at home with his true wife. {{ph|MARRIED AND KEEPING HOUSE.}} The light-keeper Mr. Granger, had given up his position as a keeper, Mr. Peter McKinley succeeding him. I was now married to Mr. Van Riper and living very near the light-house. My husband had come from Detroit for his health. After we were married he started a large cooper shop at the Point, employing several men in the summer season. My father had now moved into the "Strang House," as the King's house was always called by the islanders. Up to this time no one had ever lived in it since the King's death. Somehow no one cared to live in it, but father and mother found it very comfortable and pleasant. There were more people coming to the island all the time to settle, buying farms. The "Johnson House" was now taken down and moved on some farm. All the houses between Strang's house and Enoch had been taken down. We found the light-keeper and his daughters very kind neighbors. The two girls and myself were like sisters as time went on. There was no doctor at that time on the island.

Our mails came by ice in winter from Mackinac Island, a distance of fifty miles. When our mail carrier came with the pouches full we were like a hungry lot of people, as often we were without mail for a month or six weeks. Work was laid aside until the letters and papers were read, then for several days news was discussed among us. Good news was enjoyed by everybody and sad news was sadness for all. In later years our mail route was changed in winter to Cross Village, distant about twenty-five miles. Both Indians and white men were engaged in carrying it, using dogs with sleds as the mail grew heavier, with more inhabitants coming. Winter was the time for social amusements. We usually had fine ice for skating, which was enjoyed by both old and young, women as well as men. The merchants laid in a good stock of everything necessary in the fall, but many times people ran short of provisions, then other neighbors divided with them. {{ph|TRAVELLING BY WATER.}} In the sixties Charlevoix people came to Beaver Island to do much of their trading, going back and forth in small boats. All travelling had to be done by water. People felt no fear. We were going from island to island in summer time. In those days at Little Traverse, now Harbor Springs, there were just a few white settlers, with one or two<noinclude></noinclude> 6n63w5c975hk018zmpxu2h9b2d00cqx Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/228 104 4847561 15136463 15132075 2025-06-15T04:38:10Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136463 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|210|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>stores. In the early fifties Mr. Richard Cooper started a store and another was kept by the "Wendells" of Mackinac Island. Many Mackinac Island people took their families every summer for several years to the Gull islands, that being a fine fishing ground. Thousands of dollars worth of fish were caught there. Beaver Harbor was then the center for trade. Near to reach. "The boats were our carriages, the wind our steeds." Sometimes there were accidents and many were drowned, still people had to live, and their work was on the water most of the time. The winter of 1861 my husband and I went to Milwaukee to spend the winter. Mr. C. R. Wright was elected to the State Legislature at Lansing that winter, his family spending the winter in Fairport, Ohio. We all returned to the island in springtime. My parents had now gone back to Traverse City to live. Frank, my adopted brother, had enlisted as a drummer boy at the beginning of the Civil War. {{ph|OUR INDIAN SCHOOL AT GARDEN ISLAND.}} In July of 1862 my husband was appointed as a Government school teacher to the Indians at Garden Island. The school was a large one as there was a large band of Indians. Our school continued for two years, then was discontinued for several years before another teacher was sent among them. That two years was a busy life for us both. The Government furnished seeds of all kinds for their gardens, flower seeds as well to beautify their homes.

In June of 1856 news came that "King Strang" had been shot by his own people. It was a long time before we could get the particulars. The fishermen and merchants had now made a strong appeal to the government asking for pro- tection, and this time Strang could not make his plea strong enough to prevent the coming of the U. S. steamer Michigan with officers to make an investigation of the matter. The king met the steamer at Mackinac Island, hoping to gain a little more time to prevent any arrests of his people. The U. S. steamer proceeded to Beaver Island, landing at the village dock in the harbor. King Strang took passage on her back to the island, and as soon as landing he immediately went to his home not far distant from the dock. He was soon sent for by the officers, as they wished to consult with him about the affair. He started for the steamer, and when about half way on the dock two men stepped from behind a pile of cordwood and both fired their re- volvers at once, both bullets taking effect.

He knew his last hours had come, and he begged to be taken to his wife Mary, his true wife. The women he had with him now were no comfort to him. Dr. McCulloch dressed the wounds and told him he feared the trip would be too much for him, that he might die on the way. He said, "No, no, take me home to Mary, my true wife. I cannot die here, doctor. I want to die with my wife and children. Take me to Mary, I know she will forgive me." Dr. McCulloch had him put on a mattress, carried on board a steamboat and taken to his wife's home in Wisconsin. The death of Strang was a terrible blow to most of his people, but a relief to those that were suffering such persecutions from him. One woman at Bower's Harbor expressed great joy when she heard it, but I could not understand why she should be glad of any one's death. She said, "I will tell you just a little of what the king made me suffer." {{ph|THE STORY MRS. {{nowrap|H{{bar|2}}}} TOLD ME.}} I was born and raised in a dear little nook in York state.

We all helped to care for them and then John, her husband, seemed more kind. Five years rolled around, when one day three Mormon elders came to our village, going around from house to house talking their doctrine, calling themselves Latter Day Saints. They visited us.

I felt a great dread; I knew not why. Then they held services in our little church in the evenings, which continued a week. Many were greatly excited. My parents and younger sister, Sarah, my husband and a number of our neighbors. The men left us promising to come again soon, when they hoped many would join their religion. I could see as the days went by Mr. {{nowrap|H{{bar|2}}}} and my people, with others, were ready to follow these men. I said all I could to discourage them, but it was of no use, I could do nothing.

One pleasant day in August we bade farewell to our dear old home and kind good neighbors I had known my lifetime. And with many tears of sorrow and regret on my part we started for the Promised Land. After a tedious trip we reached "Beaver Island." I need not try to tell how disappointed many of us were, as everything was so different from what it had been represented to us. The island itself was very beautiful, just as nature had made it. But to us that had come from a settled country with farms all cultivated, it was a great change. I saw Mr. {{nowrap|H{{bar|2}}}} was very low-spirited, and knowing we must make the best of it, I tried to cheer him, saying, "Now we will soon make us another home, and if all is well we shall soon be as happy as we were before. But you know I can never enjoy this new doctrine." We also found when reaching the island that the bright talking elder was "King Strange" himself, and he well knew I had no sympathy or belief in his teachings. However, Strang gave us our choice of a building spot and we chose as pleasant a place as possible, with father and mother near us, just a short distance from the pretty little Font Lake. We tried to make our home like the one we had left behind. I went to work with a will helping Mr. {{nowrap|H{{bar|2}}}} to build the new home. That first winter I never like to think about, the people suffered so much, but were always patient, never complaining. The next spring I helped to make our garden, also our flower garden, putting<noinclude></noinclude> kbsduz18huc4e5hglxlek3thz2ihkn1 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/181 104 4847569 15136076 15132096 2025-06-15T00:57:38Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136076 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|165|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>in the seeds I had brought from the old home. That first winter we endured hunger and cold, but I tried to bear it without complaint. I kept the best for my husband to eat and many times went supperless to bed, fearing there would not be enough for his breakfast, as he had to be out chopping wood during the day. A tenth part of our income must be given to the King, and sometimes there was little left, as there was always extras to help other expenses. We had plenty of clothing when we came, but in a few months we had divided most of it with our suffering neighbors. With hard work and scanty food, and great anxiety about Nellie's sick babies, it began to tell on my health. I scarcely knew a care in the old home, now it all seemed to fall on me. When spring came I was much run down in health. When Mr. {{nowrap|H{{bar|2}}}} would sometimes blame himself I would cheer him up by telling him, "Never mind, we have each other, and together we can endure almost anything." We dared not talk much to others that we felt any disappointment. We soon found the King exacted perfect obedience from his people. I knew in my heart he did not like me because he could not win me over to his belief. The third year we began to be a little more comfortable, and I found a little more time to rest. I had been so busy with hard work trying to make our home bright and cheerful I had not noticed what was going on at the Tabernacle meetings. I soon began to hear rumors how the king was preaching polygamy. I felt worried and I could see that other<noinclude></noinclude> ot7ggojya3z1up7v23ld7qyn1yl6zwz Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/182 104 4847570 15136077 15132098 2025-06-15T00:59:05Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136077 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|166|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>women were the same, though we dared not talk much together about the King's affairs. I spoke with my husband about it and he said, "Have no fears. Strang can never make me bring another wife into our home." Soon a friend told me she feared our husbands might be forced to obey the law that the King had made. She was an elder's wife. She then told me my husband was soon to be ordained as an elder. Again I spoke to my husband about my fears. He took me in his arms, saying. "Have no fears Mary. We have worked and suffered together and do I not know how you have endured hunger and cold and gave up our pleasant home to come here with me? I will never desert you or treat you so mean as to bring another into our home." The King has urged me to do so, but I told him I could not obey that command. In a few days several women came asking me to join them in voting down Strang's new law. I said to them, "No, I dare not oppose that man. I feel such a dreadful fear of him." In a day or two they came again, saying, "Mrs. {{nowrap|H{{bar|2}}}} you will be sorry if you do not help us try to vote against this law. We believe if we women band ourselves together, and now that we have the right to vote on this subject the king may think better of it when he sees how we feel about it, and don't you feel afraid your husband may bring home another wife?" I said. "Oh, no, I am sure this cannot be." Then they left me. I felt like one in a dream. This seemed such a strange life to live. I did so long to once more feel free like I used to in the other days. I tried hard at<noinclude></noinclude> g3xhi7jgxq6d7hmxm0o1naqqc4e5heh Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/183 104 4847571 15136078 15132099 2025-06-15T01:00:07Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136078 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|167|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>times to understand about this religion, but could not. I went very seldom to the Tabernacle to hear the preaching so I knew very little about what was said. Father and mother never talked about the old home any more. To them it was as if it never had been. Mr. {{nowrap|H{{bar|2}}}}, too, never talked about it, and sometimes I wondered had I dreamed that we ever lived in our eastern home. It was very seldom I ever went to the harbor. as my husband always brought me anything I wanted. I often heard about the parties given there, but never attended any. One pleasant day in August, the eighth anniversary of our wedding, my husband said to me, "I shall not be home to dinner as there is some very important business to be done at the temple among the elders. Have tea at five o'clock and I shall surely be home at that hour." I followed him to the door saying, "Now remember, Mr. {{nowrap|H{{bar|2}}}}, this is our anniversary." He kissed me saying, "I will remember it Mary and be home at five." I sang at my work as I had not done before for months. I felt so happy. I looked about the home and it seemed more like the old home in York State; my flowers on each side the walk to the gate, in front the mountain ash was lovely, and my climbing rose bushes all about, which gave it all such a home-like look. I soon started for the woods to gather wild flowers, mosses and trailing vines to trim the room with so it would look nice when Mr. {{nowrap|H{{bar|2}}}} came home. I met a neighbor and asked her to go with me. She said. "No, my heart is too sad. I fear my husband will soon bring home another wife.

I answered, "No I am not afraid, for Mr {{nowrap|H{{bar|2}}}} would tell me so if anything like that was to happen." She gave me such a sad look with her eyes full of tears. Pulling her sunbonnet over her face she passed on. I gathered my flowers and vines, returned home and trimmed my rooms. I put the vines around my white muslin window curtains with the pretty lace I had knit around the edge and the white bed curtains to match. I set my table the prettiest I knew how, with the lovely wild flowers in the center; I then ran over to mother, telling her all I had done. I saw her and sister Sarah exchange looks, both saying they were glad I had done so. I played with the children a few minutes, then ran home to prepare the tea. I wore a pink muslin dress, the only one I had left from the old home, and a pretty white apron, the last I had of the kind. Somehow the day had been long, but I felt no fear, only a sadness for the neighbor I had met. Her sorrowful face seemed always before me. Remembering my husband was fond of warm biscuit, I made some, and just as the clock struck five I heard the gate click and our faithful dog Tiger give a low growl. I thought strangers must be coming, as he always barked with delight to see his master. I hurried to the door. Mr {{nowrap|H{{bar|2}}}} was coming up the path with a woman holding to his arm. Before I had time to move or speak they stepped past me into the house. Mr. {{nowrap|H{{bar|2}}}} said to me, "Mary let me introduce you to my wife to whom I have just been sealed in spirit this day, and I hope you will welcome her and show her the re-<noinclude></noinclude> rfsq6yb0x4v4g03gtq7algxuyzievm6 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/185 104 4847574 15136080 15132102 2025-06-15T01:01:35Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136080 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|169|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>spect which is her due from you." I stood still; I could not move; I could not speak; my tongue would not move in my mouth. I tried to say "husband, husband," but no sound came. Oh the agony I suffered! I could only follow them with my eyes. I could not speak; I was dumb. The woman gave me an insolent look, saying, "I guess I must have been expected. The house seems to be pretty well fixed up, but she doesn't seem to be very glad. She'll get used to it soon. We'll make her know that I am the mistress here now. Won't we Mr. {{nowrap|H{{bar|2}}}}?" He smiled and nodded, saying, "Come let's have some supper. Come Mary, pour the tea." I rushed from the house, running to my mother's house. She met me calmly at the door. "Oh mother, did you know of this?" She answered, "Yes Mary, we all knew it all along and what is the use of making any fuss. It's God's commands." I ran to my sister. She laughed, saying to me, "Well, you must be a fool. You ought to be proud to know your husband is made an apostle of the Church of Zion and already blessed with a spiritual wife. Now do have some sense and don't disgrace us all." It just began to dawn upon me my sister was just the rankest little Mormon alive. I then went to my father, thinking I would receive sympathy from him. He said, "Now Mary do be quiet. Your husband has talked this over with us. We all thought best to say nothing to you about it and when you saw it could not be helped you would just settle down. Your mother and I believe in this doctrine, and we think it is right." I stayed to hear no more.

Oh, my home no longer, to make a last appeal to my husband, to be sure it was not a horrible joke just to try me. I rushed in, throwing myself down at his feet, crying, "Tell me, tell me this is not true! Tell me it is only a joke to try me." I very soon learned it was only too true. They both threatened me with a straight jacket, with bread and water diet until I would quietly submit. I got upon my feet and staggered from the door down the walk to the road. I was blind, my limbs refused to carry me, and just as I was sinking down my dumb sister caught me in her arms. She had seen by my face I was in great trouble, and she saw my mother did not sympathize with me. She followed me, then looking toward the house saw the two standing together. She seemed to understand what it meant, and the first sound I ever heard her make aloud, she gave a hoarse cry and partly dragged me away to a large log beside the road a short distance from the house. It was a large tree that was upturned from the roots and sheltered us from the passers-by. She rubbed my hands. smoothed my hair, pressing kisses upon my face, and showing me she sympathized with me in my trouble. Many times she showed anger, stamping on the ground and shaking her fist toward the house. The moon had risen, and every time I opened my eyes I could not bear to look at it. I wanted it all dark. Dark as midnight. Dark as the world now seemed to me. After awhile the neighbor woman I had met in the morning came to me. She took my hands saying, "Mrs. {{nowrap|H{{bar|2}}}} I am truly sorry for<noinclude></noinclude> dd91wn25z0lkctb2tehy79yiraj5ti9 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/187 104 4847576 15136086 15132106 2025-06-15T01:03:18Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136086 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|171|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>you. I wanted to tell you this morning, but you seemed so happy I could not do it. I saw you had entire belief in your husband's word. I blame him very much for not telling you his intentions. You might have felt different about it. I, too, have just one week of freedom, then my husband brings in another wife, as he, too, was made an apostle today. But in my case I have been told of it and have the privilege of choosing among the young women the one I think I can best endure. I have chosen a friend of mine. We have agreed to live as sisterly as possible. For my four children's sake I can endure much and I don't see how I can help myself; but I must not be found talking with you, as such things are forbidden." In a still lower tone she said, "I will help you all I can in your sorrow." She pressed a kiss on my face and was gone. I sat beside my dumb sister thinking. "Was it for this I had suffered cold and hunger, leaving our comfortable home in New York State? And of all the days in the year, the anniversary of our wedding day he had brought home the most homely old grass widow to be found on the island, that everybody detested. The king said afterwards he did this to humble my pride. After the woman left us Nellie made me understand she would go to mother's and get me a shawl. The dew was falling, I had no wrap, my dress was muslin. She made me understand I was to wait here until she came back. As soon as she left me I partly crawled and dragged myself to little Font Lake, which was about a quarter of a mile distant. I laid myself down on the moss cov-<noinclude></noinclude> ohbiwv5k6y9vbi2h6sajvju8quxxqvf Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/188 104 4847579 15136087 15132110 2025-06-15T01:04:09Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136087 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|172|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>ered bank, the darkness of despair rolled over me. My husband did not seem the same to me now. He seemed only a great monster beast that I wanted to get away from. I thought how happy our home had been before we knew anything about these strange people, and the dear friends I had left to come to this island. Then I thought of baby's grave far away in the old home. I could endure it no longer. I would end it all by plunging into the little lake where my husband and I had strolled so many times along its green shores. I gave the leap that would end my earthly suffering. I was held back by the dress and dear old Tiger whined, jumping up, licking my face and hands and pulling me back from the water. This is the last I remember until I felt the warm sunshine upon my face and old dog Tiger was lying beside me. When he felt me move he began to whine and lick my hands. I had no recollection of time any more as Tiger and I wandered about through the woods. I ate berries and drank from the lake. All the food I had was what my dog brought me. Bread crusts and meat bones. At last my dumb sister found me by watching Tiger and following him. I knew Nellie, although I was in a very weak condition. She tried her best to get me home with her, but I would not go. Just about the time all this happened to me Nellie's deaf and dumb husband had come to the island on a steamboat. He had not come with the rest of us, and since we came he had fallen heir to considerable money and had come to claim Nellie and the<noinclude></noinclude> hnrlwqc6t1jxuus48e7v7p6xdyvrt99 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/189 104 4847581 15136090 15132112 2025-06-15T01:04:58Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136090 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|173|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>children. They had gone to housekeeping in a little log cabin built in a secluded spot on the edge of the heavy woods. The little home was not yet finished. Nellie by her dumb language made me understand John had come and brought letters from the old home. She made me promise I would wait until she came back with John and the letters. In a short time they came. When he saw me it was terrible to look upon his silent rage. He foamed at the mouth and stuck his knife into the earth, but he could make no sound. He passed his hand over my hair. It was white as snow. It was auburn in color when I left my home. I did rouse up a little when I watched the tears roll down his cheeks. Nellie put a dress on me and a shawl. My bare feet were cut and swollen. They both helped me to walk; I was too weak to walk alone. At the last John carried me in his arms to his home. Nellie made me understand that I had been over three weeks in the woods and by the king's orders no one had dared openly to hunt for me or give me aid in any way, claiming that was the way to subdue an unruly spirit. It was told me that he who once had been my loved husband never made an effort to find me, not even my own father and mother. Strang called all this "Divine Revelation." Oh he was more cruel than the grave to me. From the time I entered John's home my three dumb friends never left me. It was a hard struggle for life with me. I saw no one and none ever came to see us. The dear children kept me alive with their sweet, childish prattle.

None would have dared to give me aid. Many were living a double life, seemingly good Mormons, but only waiting for an opportunity to get away. Strang had enemies that would strike hard when the time came. Not long after I went to Nellie's he that I once called husband, watched and shot my faithful dog Tiger. Then I was roused. All the demons in me came to the surface. I could not keep quiet any longer. I got well as fast as possible and caused the King and Mr. {{nowrap|H.{{bar|2}}}} all the trouble I could. The people were divided, not all were pleased with the king and his rule. The Gentiles were leaving as fast as they could, as there was no safety for them or their property. Strang was losing much control of his people. Then he concluded to extend his territory to the mainland, Charlevoix and Bower's Harbor in Grand Traverse. Some had gone to Fox Island. About this time Nellie's husband died very sudden. We never knew the cause of his death. Nellie with her children went with me to Charlevoix, staying there all winter, then went to Bower's Harbor. That winter in Charlevoix we almost starved before spring came. The snow was very deep and ice heavy in the lake. The latter part of March teams came over from Beaver Island on the ice, bringing us provisions. They also went to Fox Island, as the people there were in a starving condition. This was not done by any of Strang's orders. There were some good people who knew our provisions could not last us till the opening of navigation and they came without orders and saved our<noinclude></noinclude> 35nedhmw2bp7bnl358hb3en3f51nb5i Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/191 104 4847585 15136092 15132117 2025-06-15T01:07:05Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136092 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|175|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>lives from starvation. "Now do you wonder I am glad of Strang's death?" The story was a sad one, but true. It had not been all pleasure in Strang's kingdom. The doctrine they believed in and practiced beyond limit stifled all the good there was in their hearts. There was no pity felt or shown to those who went contrary to the "Divine Revelations" which their king was supposed to have. Poor, deluded people, how different would all have been for them had their leader used his splendid talent for good and taught his people the way of life and truth. {{ph|MY BROTHER LEWIS VISITING US AND HIS STORY.}} Another year had rolled round. The June days lingered with us still when my brother Lewis came from Beaver Island to visit us. We had not seen him since he left us at Charlevoix after he was wounded. The four years had changed him from a boy to a man. He was now twenty-three years of age. He had many things to tell us, he being one of the men chosen the year before to help preserve law and order in the sending away of the Mormons after the king was shot. He went to the island to help get the people away on the steamboats that were sent to carry them from the island. As soon as Strang was shot a great number of the people left at once, having means of their own to help themselves with. There were others who had small means. Their homes were all they had. Strang had preached and taught in the temple that no bullet could pierce his body, and strange as it<noinclude></noinclude> 52emqmhilsyrvrqmn6wscr830pep28t Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/192 104 4847587 15136093 15132119 2025-06-15T01:07:44Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136093 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|176|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>may seem, there were a large part of his people who believed it. And now when they knew their king was killed, and killed by the bullet, they were prostrate with sorrow: many of them completely incapable of thinking or doing for themselves. My brother said it was a sad sight to look upon when they came to the harbor to go on board the boats. Their sorrow was great. They seemed like a people without a hope in the world. Many wrung their hands and wept with sad moanings, saying. "Our king, our king is dead." Women fainted and were carried on board; children were crying. Even men were sobbing, and two or three attempted to throw themselves from the dock into the water to end their misery. All were allowed to take their household goods, yet many did not do so. Some only took their clothing and bedding. Poor suffering people! No doubt they were afraid of the Gentiles, thinking great harm would be done to them. The feeling had become so bitter between them that in a great many cases justice was not done where it should have been. These people now had no desire to remain on the island now that their king was dead, even when going meant leaving their comfortable homes and all they had in the wide world. Those that worked the hardest suffered most. The building and making of their homes and improving their farms had occupied all their time and attention. They loved their king and their hearts were loyal to him, seeing him only in his best moods, as he was always kind and pleasant to them in his visits about<noinclude></noinclude> dn6bayzu3qn9beoe0wj7kexaq8kfvdf Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/193 104 4847588 15136094 15132124 2025-06-15T01:08:14Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136094 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|177|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>the island. They knew nothing about the workings of the inner circle or private temple teachings. {{ph|TEACHINGS OF MORMONISM}} Strang knew just how to manage these hardworking, faithful people, and the reason so many were beginning to think favorably of polygamy was because they were taught that only those who were faithful could be sealed, and in this way were counted God's elect. But there were a large number of women who came to the island that had been better taught than to believe in such a doctrine, which was the reason of Strang's failure to enforce the law. The two men who shot Strang had their own wrongs to avenge. Bedford had been whipped, he claimed unjustly. The other man, Wentworth, also had much bitterness in his heart of treatment he had suffered from Strang. So the two had planned to shoot him at their first opportunity. Immediately after they shot him they ran to the U. S. steamer Michigan and gave themselves up to the officers saying, "We have shot Strang and are willing to suffer the consequences." They were taken to Mackinac Island and put in jail, where they remained about one week. One dark night the door was unlocked and a man said to them, "Ask no questions, but hurry to the dock and go on board the steamboat that is there." They did so. Nothing was ever done in the way of giving these men a trial. Public sentiment was so great at the time<noinclude></noinclude> jcz91n1e7huya08rqw8v546udf9je6n Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/194 104 4847591 15136095 15132126 2025-06-15T01:08:59Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136095 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|178|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>against the Mormons it would have been impossible to find a jury to convict them. {{ph|FATHER AND MOTHER'S VISIT TO BEAVER ISLAND.}} My brother remained with us three weeks. Father and mother thought they would like to go back to the island with him to visit many of their old-time friends, who had gone back to the island after the Mormons left. Mr. Bower, at Bower's Harbor, owned a small vessel and was anxious, as he said, "To go and see how the island looked with the Mormons gone." So, with several more friends from Traverse City and Old Mission, father, mother and Frank went to Beaver Island. They were gone two weeks. I remained with Mrs. Hitchcock, my former teacher, Miss Helen Goodale. She had gone to housekeeping in their cozy new home just built on First street. I was very contented while they were gone never thinking of such a thing that father would move away from Traverse City. When they came back I could see mother was greatly pleased with the island. There she had met so many of her old friends, and there she could talk her own langauge again. {{ph|A MOTHER LONGING TO SEE HER CHILDREN.}} I could see when mother spoke of the island her heart was drawn to it. I said to her, "Would you leave Traverse City and go to Beaver Island?" It was dark and I could not see her face, but I knew by her voice there were tears in her eyes as she said, "Well, I don't know Elizabeth, but it seemed to<noinclude></noinclude> 9q3gy31cutwnd1r0n3dyljfhcjwemfm Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/195 104 4847592 15136096 15132127 2025-06-15T01:09:34Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136096 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|179|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>me while I was there I was nearer to my boys, Charley and Anthony, and now as both are sailing they might sometime come into the harbor in a storm." I spoke with father about it. He said he knew mother wanted to go back, but he did not want to take me from school. Frank, too, said mother was anxious to go to the island, telling him there she might see her two boys who were sailing and have her oldest son with her all the time. There was nothing said to me again about it. I had forgotten all about my talk with my mother. One morning the latter part of August Frank came and said to me, "Elizabeth you must come home. We are going to move to Beaver Island." At first I said. "No, this can't be so. I can't leave my school which will soon now begin." But I hurried home to find it was true. Packing was going on and all preparations were made to move. Mother was happy. She was going to be near her boys as she so many times said when her neighbors urged her not to go. My heart was heavy. How could I go and leave all my dear companions and my dear school, which was my greatest sorrow. Mr. Therian Bostwick had been our teacher the winter before and would be again the coming winter. He was a highly educated man and he and his wife wanted me to remain with them all winter and go to school. Father said I might if I wanted to and then I could go to the island the next spring, but I felt I could not do it. My winter in Ohio, where I had been homesick, made me timid about being separated from my parents.

Father's health was failing, that I could plainly see, and Frank not old enough to be much help. {{ph|LEAVING TRAVERSE CITY.}} With many tears of sorrow to think of leaving companions, friends and Traverse City, the place where we had been so happy in the four years of our stay, we bade adieu to our kind friends and neighbors and once more were sailing away over the waters to Beaver Island. As we sailed toward Northport it was not long before all traces of the little city had passed from our view, and though I could not see it with my eyes, I could see it with my heart, as I said to one of the gentlemen on board our vessel. There were three summer people that had been at the island since early June. They came over to Traverse City to see what the country looked like and voted their preference for the island as a summer home. We called at Northport, stopping to see several friends and wait for a fresher breeze. There we met Mr. Dame, his wife and daughter, Mrs. Page, and son Sebe, as we always called him. Mr. and Mrs. Smith and many more wished us "God speed" on the way across the water to our "Island home." We left Northport just as the sun was rising over the treetops. The little town looked bright and pleasant in the morning sunlight. The wind was fair and sea smooth. We soon were past the point, where we could look upon Lake Michigan.

Soon the land could be plainly seen along the island, and as we neared its shores my thoughts went back to a few years ago, when I stood on the deck of the steamboat Michigan watching so eagerly to catch the first glimpse of the dear old island that was my home. And now as we passed Cable's dock and saw the houses, and people walking about, how familiar everything looked to me. I watched to see our old home, but father said to me, "It is burned down." I looked at the place where it had stood and through my tears it seemed I could almost see my little brother Charley and myself strolling along the beach as we so often did in the old days, chasing the plovers along the shore. Then again I could see ourselves hurrying to get on board the little vessel with our goods left upon the beach and the Mormon men pointing the guns at us. Father seemed to know what was passing in my mind as he said, "There are only friends here now." We sailed along Big Sand Bay, and there were many little buildings left where the fishermen lived. The Martin's and Sullivans place, with Kilty's and others, all looked so familiar, then past Loaney's Point with the big rock, and the homes looked just<noinclude></noinclude> je2gc5qcza96qym5dihr4j4eeqr11do Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/198 104 4847595 15136101 15132133 2025-06-15T01:11:31Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136101 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|182|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>the same. In a short time our little ship was sailing into the harbor, where something new greeted my eyes, and that was the light house on the point, which was not there when I was there last. Everything was so beautiful and fair to look upon I could not help enjoying the lovely trip across the lake. {{ph|HOTELS AT THE HARBOR.}} My brother and other friends met us and took us to the Mormon printing office, which had been turned into a hotel. When reaching there we were met by ever so many old friends, nearly all speaking in French, and their manner so hearty we could not help but feel their welcome. At supper time the dining room was filled with a jolly crowd of fishermen with a number of city people that were staying for rest and recreation in the summer months. Several of them had been with the fishermen on the lake that day watching the process of setting and lifting the nets, and many were the jokes that were made at their expense. Next door was another larger hotel, kept by Mr. David Lobdell and his wife. Mrs. Lobdell came from Fremont, Ohio. This hotel had been full of summer boarders, but many had gone to their city homes. This house had been used by the Mormons as a dance hall and theater. The summer at the island had been a very gay one. About twenty families had summered there, living in the deserted homes of the Mormons. There were also two or three smaller boarding houses that were all filled and doing a good busi-<noinclude></noinclude> mr2obqfgox7tdyupnno9xmtv1vbv18f Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/199 104 4847596 15136102 15132134 2025-06-15T01:12:08Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136102 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|183|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>ness. Fish were plenty, bringing a good price. Everybody had money and used it freely. The fishermen were a good, kind, jolly people as a class, borrowing no troubles for the morrow. In those days there were no tugs used in the fishing business, neither were there pound-nets used. There were many seines used. The fish caught were usually very large in size, both whitefish and trout. The merchants did a prosperous business. In winter the cord wood was chopped and brought to the docks for the steamers' fuel during the summer season. {{ph|THE FAREWELL RECEPTION TO FRIENDS.}} The evening before we reached there a large party had been given as a farewell to the many summer friends that were going to their city homes. The two young Mormon sisters that Strang had chosen as Spiritual wives were also going away. They were to have a great festival, or feast, in July to celebrate the sealing ceremony of the King's marriage with the two young sisters, but death had come and taken the King before the time of the ceremony. These two sisters were very beautiful girls who were orphans and had a home with their uncle, he being a staunch Mormon, but a very good man. The summer people had been very interested in these two young sisters. Their parents had both died while they were very young. Being raised in the Mormon faith they thought it was right and considered it a great honor to have been chosen by the prophet and King. I was told by one who knew them intimately that they expressed great joy<noinclude></noinclude> mh5nxbnrtc9ciuxhapjqw7jb3q5hhh6 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/200 104 4847598 15136104 15132137 2025-06-15T01:12:49Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136104 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|184|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>that they had escaped such a fate. Since the shooting of Strang they, as well as many others, had lost their faith in his religion. {{ph|RETURN OF THE MERCHANTS.}} We were soon settled in a comfortable house left by the Mormons. The houses as a rule were placed close together in groups of three. Their yards were nicely laid out and filled with handsome flowers, which were now in bloom. When we reached there houses were plenty and we could take our choice. Mr. C. R. Wright and family had returned to the island, starting a large cooper shop and employing a number of workmen. Mr. James Moore and family, T. D. Smith and family, and many others who had left in 1852, had now returned. Mr. James Cable had taken possession of his property at the head of the island and was again in business. Mr. Peter McKinley had returned and was in business across the harbor on the opposite side from the point at what was called the "Gregg property." Mr. McKinley had been elected to the State Legislature at Lansing, so did not return to the island until late in the fall. His brother Morrison taking charge of the business. Peter McKinley was first cousin to William McKinley, our late President of the United States. There was a very comfortable school house, built by the Mormons. It was a frame building containing a large library of fine books which belonged to the King. There were books of Greek and Latin, with histories and law books. Our school was taught<noinclude></noinclude> p5jjl7uosf641jubj3s9c9xd96e45ow Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/201 104 4847599 15136105 15132138 2025-06-15T01:13:19Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136105 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|185|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>that winter by Mr. Isaac Wright from Illinois. The Mormons had always had good schools, as the king wanted to have his subjects educated, but would not allow them to go outside to be educated. The teachers being their own people. About a mile back from the shore on high, level land was Mr. Campbell's farm. This was a beautiful location on the south side of the harbor. This family had remained when the Mormons had left. They were glad to be left in peace and had become tired of Strang's rule. They were my neighbors for many years and proved themselves kind and true friends. Mrs. Campbell had been one of Strang's greatest enemies in preventing his enforcing the laws of polygamy. She carried her family Bible to the temple, and there with many other women read God's laws from its pages faster than the king could explain it in his way. She told me all this herself, and said many times when she started for the temple it was with fear and trembling, not knowing sometimes whether she would ever return to her home. She knew she was defying the King, and no one at the time could tell what the outcome might be, adding, "But we knew we were right and were fighting for our homes. We kept agitating and gained time. Strang began to find his power was not absolute. We women banded ourselves together and fought him with words so strong he had to stop to consider where he stood. Before it was settled the king was shot." {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 2jr22hagnnmbxtunnfnc4re0jsjezlz Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/202 104 4847601 15136106 15132141 2025-06-15T01:13:58Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136106 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|186|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>{{ph|DR. MCCULLOCH'S RESIDENCE.}} At the harbor side, or St. James, was quite a village. Two docks, two stores, with the two hotels and two or three boarding houses; further around the bay was the old Mormon boarding house building that had been run by the Mormon with four wives. It was built of logs smooth on both sides. Mr. C. R. Wright converted that building into a large cooper shop. There were about twenty houses back along the hill, reaching along past the temple and Strang's cottage, with several more in the other direction around the bay toward the point. Just back a short distance from the street just opposite the dock stood what was called "Dr. McCulloch's residence." A very pretty gothic story and a half cottage. It was painted white with a white picket fence around it. Dr. McCulloch was the Mormon doctor from Baltimore. A fine physician. Coming to the island just to rest, he gained his health and liked the climate so well he settled there. His wife was a highly cultured lady. While not wholly Mormons, they were just enough so as to live peaceably with the King. Mrs. McCulloch was the leader in much of their amusements, and she often ridiculed Strang about his way of living and insisting upon the women wearing short hair and bloomer costumes. She always wore her dresses long when going on her annual trips home to Baltimore. But when on the island she wore the regulation short dress, as she said, "Just for fun." {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> kxeevsso4nejlejztb1aenp0de4jvi4 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/203 104 4847602 15136107 15132143 2025-06-15T01:14:55Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136107 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|187|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>The year we returned, in 1857, a Mr. Burke, a merchant from Buffalo, N. Y., had been that summer at the island with a stock of goods, leaving in the fall, selling his goods to Mr. George R. Peckham, of Toledo, Ohio, who carried on the business a few years alone, after which C. R. Wright went partner with him; then for a number of years the firm of Peckham & Wright was known. Later George Peckham sold his interest to Mr. Wright, and then the firm was known as C. R. Wright & Son. The business grew, as thousands of barrels of fish were caught and shipped every season. It soon became equal to the fish market at Mackinac Island, it being nearer to most of the fishing grounds. In a few years the property at the point was bought by the firm of Dormer & Allen, of Buffalo, N. Y. A large store and warehouse was built, with the dock improved, and the business was carried on at the point with success by that firm for a number of years. {{ph|THE KING'S HIGHWAY.}} At Cable's dock Mr. John Corlette, of Ohio, had settled, and after a fair success in business of several years he moved to Cheboygan, Mich., with his son-in-law, Mr. Andrew Trombley. Captain Appleby, of Buffalo, N. Y., took Mr. Loaney's place as keeper of the light-house at the head of the island, where his nephew, Frank Blakeslee, assisted.

Mr. William Duclon succeeded Miller, and after about eight years was transferred to Eagle Bluff light-house, where he still continues at this writing. Mr. Harrison Miller, after leaving the light-house, was appointed keeper of the life saving station at Beaver Harbor, and was transferred to Point Betsey life-saving station. Mr. Owen Gallagher succeeded him at the Beaver Island station. The Mormons laid the roads out very convenient for the settlers that were in the interior of the island. One road went direct from the harbor across to Bonnar's landing, a distance of five miles. This road passed through many fine farms, and there were roads branching from this one leading to all parts of the island, with the king's highway leading direct through from the harbor to the head of the island. The king's highway was very beautiful with its wild scenery. Many of the roads were built with small logs cut the width of the road and laid down firmly close together. These were called cause-ways or corduroy. This kind was built where it was swampy and low land to go through. These cause-ways were very beautiful in summer time with their branches arching overhead in many places, with beautiful evergreens mixed in with willows, green mosses and flowers. {{ph|HORSEBACK RIDING ABOUT THE ISLAND.}} I soon became acquainted with Mr. Campbell's daughter.

Oh, those delightful rides! There were roads and bridle paths going in every direction. I would soon have been lost, but Mary knew them all, and when she had any doubts about the way out from the deep woods those two horses never failed to take us right. Mary was a pleasant companion. She knew the names of all the people who had lived on those now deserted farms. Every house we came to was vacant. The little gates were broken off their hinges in several places, and in some of the houses the curtains were still at the windows. Weeds were growing all about the doors, flowers were still in bloom, with weeds mixed in among them, barns were empty with some of their doors open. There were broods of chickens around many of the barns, and one yard we rode into some pretty little kittens ran scampering under the barn. Mary was talking all the time, saying, "Such a man lived here; they were very good people. Just see how pretty the flowers grow and the lovely currant bushes. Ma and I came and picked the most of them this season, as Mrs. {{nowrap|M{{bar|2}}}} told us to. Oh we did feel so sorry for her to have to leave her home. Now these people were awfully queer. They never talked to anybody and just see the lovely hay in this field all going to waste." We rode along where there were several houses built close together with a large barn, and the flowers were beautiful. Roses climbing about the windows. "Yes, this is where one of the apostles lived.

She went to the temple and did all she could do to stop it, and I believe Strang was afraid the women would mob him. At any rate he let us alone. We liked that apostle's wife. She was a kind little woman." I enjoyed the riding, but it made me sad to see all those deserted homes. I could see how much hard work had been done to make everything so comfortable. {{ph|THE HOME WHERE THE WIFE HAD BEEN DRIVEN OUT.}} One day, on our last ride, we rode directly across to Bonnar's landing. Mr. and Mrs. John Bonnar had bought and settled on a very fertile piece of land. At that time there was not much cleared; later they had a beautiful home. Mr. Ray Peckham and wife also had bought a good farm near Mr. Bonnar's. This day Mary and I rode around all the homes out on that road, then came down and took the road leading out to Long Lake, near Font Lake. Our horses were walking, Mary was pointing out and telling me about the people that lived on this road. We soon came to a home that it seemed to me I had seen before. I said, "Mary, who lived here?" "Oh. this is where Mr. {{nowrap|H{{bar|2}}}} lived; the man who treated his wife so badly because she did not like it when he brought home another wife." We tied our horses and walked about the yard. Yes, here was the home.

I looked a long time, seeing it all in my mind as the woman had told me her story. I could see the man and woman standing together in the door while the wife was hurrying away to her mother for sympathy. I could not keep the tears back. Mary saw I felt sad and said, "Why do you cry? Are you lonesome for the friends you have left in your old home?" I said, "No, I am crying because I have heard the story about the woman. She told it to me herself." "Oh yes, I remember hearing ma tell me about this woman. She says she thinks it was the most cruel joke Strang ever planned." (Strang always called such things jokes.) Over there is where her father and mother lived and way over there (pointing to the woods) is where that deaf and dumb sister of her's lived. We walked over to the woods. The little log cabin stood almost hid by the trees and bushes. It had a more deserted look than the rest of the houses. Bushes and weeds were right up to the door. Mary said no one had ever lived in it since the deaf and dumb man had died and his wife and children had gone away. We hurried away. It gave us such a gloomy feeling. We were glad to come back where the sun was shining. {{ph|TIGER'S GRAVE.}} Mary said, "Come, I will show you old Tiger's grave, where the woman and her deaf and dumb sister buried him after Mr. {{nowrap|H{{bar|2}}}} shot him for his<noinclude></noinclude> 0goh248lg5tmdjrde0u3tyltdtekohg Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/208 104 4847607 15136115 15132157 2025-06-15T01:19:21Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136115 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|192|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>faithfulness to his mistress. We stood beside the spot where the wronged wife had buried her faithful dog. She had planted a rose bush beside it. There were many beautiful roses on the bush that season. Tiger's grave was near the shore of little Font Lake at the place where he pulled his mistress from a watery grave. We then rode down through Enoch, and there Mary pointed to a grave with a beautiful lilac bush at its head with a white picket fence about it. That is where the mother of four young girls is buried. It almost broke their hearts to go away and leave their mother's grave. They had asked Mary to see to it sometimes, which she had promised to do. {{ph|THE JOHNSON HOUSE.}} Mary said, "Now just one more place to go and see before we go home." We rode around pretty Font Lake, soon coming to a large two story and a half house, built very near the sloping shore of the lake. We tied our horses, walking down the path to the water. There were seats in among the small cedars, which grew thickly about. The house was still in good repair. "This is the Johnson House. The people were rich. He was a merchant living in Buffalo. The King and "Douglas" went to their home and soon persuaded them to sell and come here. They built this house, and out there you can see the large barn. They brought their horses and carriages. They brought their dead daughter's body and buried it out there on that little knoll."

His voice was low and his face looked sad. I looked at him a long time, then said: "I see blood on your head. I am afraid of you." He put his hand to his head. passing it over his forehead, and looking at his hand, he said: "I see no blood." He was very pale and his face was serious. Mother explained to him that I had heard the people say that the blood of Bennett was resting on Strang's head. I got down from his lap and took my little chair as far as I could from him, and holding my doll, I watched the king, fearing him so much. He told mother he was absent when Bennett was killed. She asked him why he was always absent when his people did the most disagreeable things. He said: "Do not judge me too harshly. I am not responsible for the killing of Bennett." Father and our boys soon came in with our friend, John Goeing. Strang staid to dinner and praised our boys for being so brave in going on the lake. He said: "My people will never learn to be good sailors; they are too timid." Then he asked about the schooling. Father told him John Goeing, our boarder, was teaching us. Father told me in after years he had a very serious talk with Strang that day, and the king admitted it was not right that Bennett was killed, but said where there were people that were opposite in their beliefs there was always trouble. Mother told him some sorrows would come to him if he persisted to live as he was living. He smiled, saying: "Oh, we aren't such a bad people, after all, Mrs. Whitney, and when you become one of us you will<noinclude></noinclude> 74ctdaykl3j3sthm0csc4abrzpl74eg Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/110 104 4847609 15136059 15132162 2025-06-15T00:49:54Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136059 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|98|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>think just as we do." He shook hands and was gone. Mother said to father: "I do believe we shall have to leave here soon or we shall be forced to become Mormons." Father assured her that would never be. {{ph|JOHN GOEING AND HIS DEAR OLD IRISH HOME.}} John Goeing came to the island and had been with us two years. He was an educated and refined gentleman from Ireland. His father was a rich Irish lord. John had been disappointed in love and left his "dear old Irish home" to come to America. From a visit to friends in Canada he had wandered to Beaver Island, and had been with us ever since. He was a great reader, having a box full of books. He did not work, and being very fond of us children he took it upon himself to teach us. He received money from home often, with the finest of broadcloth suits of clothes with silk underwear. Every evening after the lessons were heard John would read to us or tell us about his "old home in Erin." What brother Charley and I loved most was to have John tell about the chase with hounds. I liked it all except where the fox was killed by the dogs, then I would say, "John, can't you tell some stories where the fox gets away from the hounds?" Then he smiled, saying, "I won't have the foxes killed any more. It makes Elizabeth feel too sorry." Then he would get his books, saying, "Now, children, where shall we go tonight? England. Ireland or Scotland?" Sometimes we all wanted different stories. Then he would say, "I<noinclude></noinclude> ipte8edi9s84vrada3djgp12lov5f96 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/111 104 4847611 15136061 15132165 2025-06-15T00:50:28Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136061 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|99|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>will take you to Ireland, my own native home." To me it was fairyland to listen to John telling of the home he had left, with its lovely green parks, graveled walks, shady bowers where his father and mother often strolled about with their children. We could almost see it all as he told it to us, and so often when he finished the tears would be falling through his fingers as his head rested on his hands. And the books, how wonderful were the places he took us to in them! He had traveled almost everywhere and we loved best to hear about his travels. We could understand it all better. John was like a brother to us younger ones, and like a kind son to father and mother. {{ph|MY BROTHER CHARLEY GOING TO OHIO.}} Summer was fast slipping away. Our summer boarders were talking of home. One of our boarders, Mr. William Hill, was anxious to take my brother Charley home with him, put him to school and teach him the engineer's trade. It was all talked over and settled that Charley was to go. We children could not realize much about what it meant. My eldest brother had been one winter with the same man. Charley was to remain with Mr. Hill until he was twenty-one, he being past ten now. Papers were made out and signed. Mother prepared all the clothes for her boy that was going away to another home. I remember so well seeing the tears rolling down her cheeks as she sewed and stitched far into the night, making the little jackets that Charley was to wear in his far away<noinclude></noinclude> 4nk4ihgi5w1rdnby2xpqf0wy6tx2m3a Page:He who gets Slapped (1949).djvu/112 104 4847694 15136379 15132454 2025-06-15T03:21:21Z 82.167.147.5 15136379 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="82.167.147.5" />{{rh|94|HE WHO GETS SLAPPED|}}</noinclude>{{c|{{sc|He}}}} [''In a rage'']: My name here is {{sc|He}}.

Then Father Ivan began adding up the number of frauds that Makar had committed, and there proved to be twenty-one thousand, three hundred and three. Then he added up the number of bottles of vodka he had drunk, and there proved to be four hundred. And the priest read on and Makar saw that the wooden bowl was pulling on the gold one; it sank into the hole, and, as the priest read, it descended ever deeper and deeper. Makar realised then that things were going badly for him; he stepped up to the scales and furtively tried to block them with his foot. But one of the servants saw it, and a clamour arose amongst them. "What is the matter there?" asked the old Toyon. "Why, he was trying to block the scales with his foot!" cried the servant. At that the Toyon turned wrathfully to Makar, exclaiming: "I see that you are a cheat, a sluggard, and a drunkard.

The six tracts of shore and river lots granted. to them in 1784 extended over nearly half the length of the county. Interrupted only by the town plot of St. Andrews, the Old Settlers' Reserve at Schoodic Falls, now the town plot of St. Stephen, the Indian Reserve, now the town of Milltown, and here and there a lot reserved for fortification or other public use, they reach from Bocabec, on the inner bay of Passamaquoddy, to Sprague's Falls, on the St. Croix; forming the greater part of the water front of the present parishes of St. Patrick, St. Andrews, St. Croix, St. David, Dufferin and St. Stephen. The Indian Lands, (now Milltown), and a tract of good farming land on the Digdeguash, though not included in the Penobscot Association grants, were granted later to officers and men of the 74th Regiment, who had been in garrison at Penobscot. Most of the people to whom these lots were granted, soldiers and civilians, had also town lots, either in St. Andrews, or in St. George's Town, which stood for a few years at the mouth of what was then called St. George's River, now known as L'Etang. {{nop}}<noinclude>{{gap}}172</noinclude> cp4ylbiltg7zqa7w0va74sh6b9pi6rf Page:Sexual Offences against Children Act 2017.pdf/14 104 4847934 15133929 15133769 2025-06-14T13:30:55Z 廣九直通車 2256060 15133929 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="廣九直通車" />{{Rh|14|''Laws of Malaysia''|{{Sc|'''Act 792'''}}}}</noinclude>commits an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding ten years or to a fine not exceeding twenty thousand ringgit or to both. {{Smaller|''Explanation''—In determining what constitutes sexual purposes, the court may take into consideration, among others, the words uttered, the nature and extent of the gestures and all other circumstances surrounding the conduct.}} {{Center|{{Big|{{Sc|Part V<br>person in a relationship of trust}}}}}} '''Person in a relationship of trust''' {{Anchor|16.1}}'''16.'''

From a little specimen which remains of it, describing a memorable omen given to Marius from an oak at Arpinum, there is reason to believe that his poetical genius was scarcely inferior to his oratorical, had it been cultivated with equal industry. He published another poem called Limon, of which Donatus has preserved four lines in the life of Terence, in praise of the elegance and purity of that poet's style. He composed in the Greek language, and in the style and manner of Isocrates, a Commentary or Memoirs of the Transactions of his Consulship. This he sent to Atticus, with a desire, if he approved it, to publish it in Athens and the cities of Greece. He sent a copy of it likewise to Posidonius of Rhodes, and requested of him to undertake the same subject in a more elegant and masterly manner. But the latter returned for answer, that, instead of being encouraged to write by the perusal of his tract, he was quite deterred from attempting it. Upon the plan of those Memoirs, he afterwards composed a Latin poem in three books, in which he carried down the history to the end of his exile, but did not publish it for several years, from motives of delicacy. The three books were severally inscribed to the three Muses; but of this work there now remain only a few fragments, scattered in different parts of his other writings. He published, about the same time, a collection of the principal speeches which he had made in his consulship, under the title of his Consular Orations. They consisted originally of twelve; but four are entirely lost, and some of the rest are imperfect. He now published also, in Latin verse, a translation of the Prognostics of Aratus, of which work no more than two or three small fragments now remain. A few years after, he put the last hand to his Dialogues upon the Character and Idea of the perfect Orator. This admirable work remains entire; a monument both of the astonishing industry and transcendent abilities of its author. At his Cuman villa, he next began a Treatise on Politics, or on the best State of a City, and the Duties of a Citizen. He calls it a great and a laborious work, yet worthy of his pains, if he could succeed in it. This likewise was written in the form of a dialogue, in which the speakers were Scipio, Lælius, Philus, Manilius, and other great persons in the former times of the Republic. It was comprised in six books, and survived him for several ages, though it is now unfortunately lost. From the fragments which remain, it appears to have been a masterly production, in which all the important questions in politics and morality were discussed with elegance and accuracy.<noinclude></noinclude> 53r6b4kujd6p7axhwwk0zez3g02itp2 Page:Lives of the Twelve Caesars (Thomson and Forester).djvu/78 104 4847973 15133884 2025-06-14T12:30:28Z TheTimeBombII 3137028 /* Proofread */ 15133884 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TheTimeBombII" />{{rvh|62|{{sc|remarks on the life and times of}}}}</noinclude>Amidst all the anxiety for the interests of the Republic, which occupied the thoughts of this celebrated personage, he yet found leisure to write several philosophical tracts, which still subsist, to the gratification of the literary world. He composed a treatise on the Nature of the Gods, in three books, containing a comprehensive view of religion, faith, oaths, ceremonies, &c. In elucidating this important subject, he not only delivers the opinions of all the philosophers who had written anything concerning it, but weighs and compares attentively all the arguments with each other; forming upon the whole such a rational and perfect system of natural religion, as never before was presented to the consideration of mankind, and approaching nearly to revelation. He now likewise composed in two books, a discourse on Divination, in which he discusses at large all the arguments that may be advanced for and against the actual existence of such a species of knowledge. Like the preceding works, it is written in the form of dialogue, and in which the chief speaker is Lælius. The same period gave birth to his treatise on Old Age, called Cato Major; and to that on Friendship, written also in dialogue, and in which the chief speaker is Lælius. This book, considered merely as an essay, is one of the most entertaining productions of ancient times; but, beheld as a picture drawn from life, exhibiting the real characters and sentiments of men of the first distinction for virtue and wisdom in the Roman Republic, it becomes doubly interesting to every reader of observation and taste. Cicero now also wrote his discourse on Fate, which was the subject of a conversation with Hirtius, in his villa near Puteoli; and he executed about the same time a translation of Plato's celebrated Dialogue, called Timæus, on the nature and origin of the universe. He was employing himself also on a history of his own times, or rather of his own conduct; full of free and severe reflections on those who had abused their power to the oppression of the Republic. Dion Cassius says, that he delivered this book sealed up to his son, with strict orders not to read or publish it till after his death; but from this time he never saw his son, and it is probable that he left the work unfinished. Afterwards, however, some copies of it were circulated; from which his commentator, Asconius, has quoted several particulars. During a voyage which he undertook to Sicily, he wrote his treatise on Topics, or the Art of finding Arguments on any Question. This was an abstract from Aristotle's treatise on the same subject; and though he had neither Aristotle nor any other book to assist him, he drew it up from his memory, and finished it as he sailed along the coast of Calabria.

This treatise contains a system of moral conduct, founded upon the noblest principles of human action, and recommended by arguments drawn from the purest sources of philosophy. Such are the literary productions of this extraordinary man, whose comprehensive understanding enabled him to conduct with superior ability the most abstruse disquisitions into moral and metaphysical science. Born in an age posterior to Socrates and Plato, he could not anticipate the principles inculcated by those divine philosophers, but he is justly entitled to the praise, not only of having prosecuted with unerring judgment the steps which they trod before him, but of carrying his researches to greater extent into the most difficult regions of philosophy. This too he had the merit to perform, neither in the station of a private citizen, nor in the leisure of academic retirement, but in the bustle of public life, amidst the almost constant exertions of the bar, the employment of the magistrate, the duty of the senator, and the incessant cares of the statesman; through a period likewise chequered with domestic afflictions and fatal commotions in the Republic. As a philosopher, his mind appears to have been clear, capacious, penetrating, and insatiable of knowledge. As a writer, he was endowed with every talent that could captivate either the judgment or taste. His researches were continually employed on subjects of the greatest utility to mankind, and those often such as extended beyond the narrow bounds of temporal existence. The being of a God, the immortality of the soul, a future state of rewards and punishments, and the eternal distinction of good and evil; these were in general the great objects of his philosophical enquiries, and he has placed them in a more convincing point of view than they ever were before exhibited to the pagan world. The variety and force of the arguments which he advances, the splendour of his diction, and the zeal with which he endeavours to excite the love and admiration of virtue, all conspire to place his character, as a philosophical writer, including likewise his incomparable eloquence, on the summit of human celebrity. The form of dialogue, so much used by Cicero, he doubtless adopted in imitation of Plato, who probably took the hint of it from the colloquial method of instruction practised by Socrates. In the early stage of philosophical enquiry, this mode of composition was well adapted, if not to the discovery, at least to the confirmation of moral truth; especially as the practice was then not uncommon, for speculative men to converse together on important subjects, for mutual information.

It required, however, that the writer should exert his understanding with equal impartiality and acuteness on the different sides of the question; as otherwise he might betray a cause under the appearance of defending it. In all the dialogues of Cicero, he manages the arguments of the several disputants in a manner not only the most fair and interesting, but also such as leads to the most probable and rational conclusion. After enumerating the various tracts composed and published by Cicero, we have now to mention his Letters, which, though not written for publication, deserve to be ranked among the most interesting remains of Roman literature. The number of such as are addressed to different correspondents is considerable, but those to Atticus alone, his confidential friend, amount to upwards of four hundred; among which are many of great length. They are all written in the genuine spirit of the most approved epistolary composition; uniting familiarity with elevation, and ease with elegance. They display in a beautiful light the author's, character in the social relations of life; as a warm friend, a zealous patron, a tender husband, an affectionate brother, an indulgent father, and a kind master. Beholding them in a more extensive view, they exhibit an ardent love of liberty and the constitution of his country: they discover a mind strongly actuated with the principles of virtue and reason; and while they abound in sentiments the most judicious and philosophical, they are occasionally blended with the charms of wit, and agreeable effusions of pleasantry. What is likewise no small addition to their merit, they contain much interesting description of private life, with a variety of information relative to public transactions and characters of that age. It appears from Cicero's correspondence, that there was at that time such a number of illustrious Romans, as never before existed in any one period of the Republic. If ever, therefore, the authority of men the most respectable for virtue, rank, and abilities, could have availed to overawe the first attempts at a violation of public liberty, it must have been at this period; for the dignity of the Roman senate was now in the zenith of its splendour. Cicero has been accused of excessive vanity, and of arrogating to himself an invidious superiority, from his extraordinary talents: but whoever peruses his letters to Atticus, must readily acknowledge, that this imputation appears to be destitute of truth. In those excellent productions, though he adduces the strongest arguments for and against any object of consideration, that the<noinclude></noinclude> f8t18eot3zklqkp5les44pqiomzj5ka Page:The Journal of geology (IA journalofgeology11893univ).pdf/190 104 4847982 15133898 2025-06-14T12:43:18Z DarkShadowTNT 2861536 /* Problematic */ missing image 15133898 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="2" user="DarkShadowTNT" />{{fine block|{{rvh|174|''THE VOLCANIC ROCKS OF THE ANDES.''|''THE JOURNAL OF GEOLOGY.''}}}}</noinclude>{{raw image|The Journal of geology (IA journalofgeology11893univ).pdf/190}}<noinclude></noinclude> cs2rn3vvr5mq99ygu83pi3vtdvyf2f6 Page:He who gets Slapped (1949).djvu/85 104 4847983 15133900 2025-06-14T12:44:04Z 82.167.147.5 /* Not proofread */ Created page with "The sleep of a diamond.

It is difficult to say, whether Cicero appears in his letters more great or amiable: but that he was regarded by his contemporaries in both these lights, and that too in the highest degree, is sufficiently evident. We may thence infer, that the great poets in the subsequent age must have done violence to their own liberality and discernment, when, in compliment to Augustus, whose sensibility would have been wounded by the praises of Cicero, and even by the mention of his name, they have so industriously avoided the subject, as not to afford the most distant intimation that this immortal orator and philosopher had ever existed. Livy however, there is reason to think, did some justice to his memory: but it was not until the race of the Cæsars had become extinct, that he received the free and unanimous applause of impartial posterity. Such was the admiration which Quintilian entertained of his writings, that he considered the circumstance or being delighted with them, as an indubitable proof of judgment and taste in literature. ''Ille se profecisse sciat, cui Cicero valde placebit''.<ref>He who has a devoted admiration of Cicero, may be sure that he has made no slight proficiency himself.</ref> In this period is likewise to be placed M. Terentius Varro, the celebrated Roman grammarian, and the Nestor of ancient learning. The first mention made of him is, that he was lieutenant to Pompey in his piratical wars, and obtained in that service a nava, crown. In the civil wars he joined the side of the Republic, and was taken by Cæsar; by whom he was likewise proscribed, but obtained a remission of the sentence. Of all the ancients, he has acquired the greatest fame for his extensive erudition; and we may add, that he displayed the same industry in communicating, as he had done in collecting it. His works originally amounted to no less than five hundred volumes, which have all perished, except a treatise ''De Lingua Latina'' and one ''De Re Rustica''. Of the former of these, which is addressed to Cicero, three books at the beginning are also lost. It appears from the introduction of the fourth book, that they all related to etymology. The first contained such observations as might be made against it; the second, such as might be made in its favour; and the third, observations upon it. He next proceeds to investigate the origin of<noinclude>{{smallrefs}}</noinclude> 1f0yabg9yde37jhf3fi7moyvvd3w79o Page:The Journal of geology (IA journalofgeology11893univ).pdf/191 104 4847986 15133911 2025-06-14T12:57:02Z DarkShadowTNT 2861536 /* Proofread */ 15133911 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="DarkShadowTNT" />{{fine block|{{rvh|175|''THE VOLCANIC ROCKS OF THE ANDES.''|''THE JOURNAL OF GEOLOGY.''}}}}</noinclude>igneous rocks already cited. There is nearly the same relation between the alkalies and alumina, the soda being still more in excess of potash, and both increasing gradually toward the more silicious end of the series. The alumina maintains a high position, gradually decreasing. The lime, iron-oxide and magnesia decrease rapidly from the less silicious to the more silicious end of the series, and lie somewhat close together. In one instance there is a marked drop in the magnesia. In Table {{roman|2}} are given the analyses of lavas from the Andes south of Colombia, with one exception, as they have been recorded in Roth's tables of rock analyses. They present a somewhat wider range of silica percentages, from {{nowrap|52.02}} to {{nowrap|73.61,}} but whether they have all been made from unaltered rocks is not known to the writer. An analysis of "obsidian" from Colombia is omitted, since it is extremely crude, given 75 per cent. of silica and 3 per cent. of magnesia, with no lime. Diagram 2 expresses the molecular variations among the rocks included in this grouping. They have the same general nature as those just described, especially as to the alkalies and alumina; but the lime, iron-oxide and magnesia are more variable, which may represent the true condition of the case, or may be due to imperfect methods of analysis. It is evident from these diagrams that the lavas of the Andes represent various phases of the differentiation of a magma which is chemically similar to that which has furnished the lavas of the Great Basin and extreme western Cordilleras in the United States, and that they belong to similar petrographical provinces. {{right|{{sc|Joseph P.

In the fourth book, he traces those which relate to place, in the fifth, those connected with the idea of time; and in the sixth, the origin of both these classes, as they appear in the writings of the poets. The seventh book is employed on declension; in which the author enters upon a minute and extensive enquiry, comprehending a variety of acute and profound observations on the formation of Latin nouns, and their respective natural declinations from the nominative case. In the eighth, he examines the nature and limits of usage and analogy in language; and in the ninth and last book on the subject, takes a general view of what is the reverse of analogy, viz. anomaly. The precision and perspicuity which Varro displays in this work merit the highest encomiums, and justify the character given him in his own time, of being the most learned of the Latin grammarians. To the loss of the first three books, are to be added several chasms in the others; but fortunately they happen in such places as not to affect the coherency of the author's doctrine, though they interrupt the illustration of it. It is observable that this great grammarian makes use of ''quom'' for ''quum'', ''heis'' for ''his'', and generally ''queis'' for ''quibus''. This practice having become rather obsolete at the time in which he wrote, we must impute his continuance of it to his opinion of its propriety, upon its established principles of grammar, and not to any prejudice of education, or an affectation of singularity. As Varro makes no mention of Cæsar's treatise on Analogy, and had commenced author long before him, it is probable that Cæsar's production was of a much later date; and thence we may infer, that those two writers differed from each other, at least with respect to some particulars on that subject. This author's treatise ''De Re Rustica'' was undertaken at the desire of a friend, who, having purchased some lands, requested of Varro the favour of his instructions relative to farming, and the economy of a country life, in its various departments. Though Varro was at this time in his eightieth year, he writes with all the vivacity, though without the levity, of youth, and sets out with invoking, not the Muses, like Homer and Ennius, as he observes, but the twelve deities supposed to be chiefly concerned in the operations of agriculture. It appears from the account which he gives, that upwards of fifty Greek authors had treated of this subject in prose, besides Hesiod and Menecrates the Ephesian, who both wrote in verse; exclusive likewise of many Roman writers, and of Mago the Carthaginian, who wrote in the Punic language. Varro's work is divided into three books, the first of which treats of agriculture; the second, of rearing of cattle; and the third, of feeding animals for the use of the table.<noinclude></noinclude> 2e2w939lbsstc09cuudl203tzcmbtda Page:Pansies (Lawrence).djvu/72 104 4847988 15133915 2025-06-14T13:12:43Z Alien333 3086116 /* Proofread */ 15133915 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Alien333" /></noinclude>{{ppoem| start=stanza| Nor a dear little home, with its cost, its cost that you have to pay, earning your living while your life is lost and dull death comes in a day.

We find from Quintilian, that Varro likewise composed satires in various kinds of verse. It is impossible to behold the numerous fragments of this venerable author without feeling the strongest regret for the loss of that vast collection of information which he had compiled, and of judicious observations which he had made on a variety of subjects, during a life of eighty-eight years, almost entirely devoted to literature. The remark of St. Augustine is well founded, That it is astonishing how Varro, who read such a number of books, could find time to compose so many volumes; and how he who composed so many volumes, could be at leisure to peruse such a variety of books, and to gain so much literary information. Catullus is said to have been born at Verona, of respectable parents; his father and himself being in the habit of intimacy with Julius Cæsar. He was brought to Rome by Mallius, to whom several of his epigrams are addressed. The gentleness of his manners, and his application to study, we are told, recommended him to general esteem; and he had the good fortune to obtain the patronage of Cicero. When he came to be known as a poet, all these circumstances would naturally contribute to increase his reputation for ingenuity; and accordingly we find his genius applauded by several of his contemporaries. It appears that his works are not transmitted entire to posterity; but there remain sufficient specimens by which we may be enabled to appreciate his poetical talents. Quintilian, and Diomed the grammarian, have ranked Catullus amongst the iambic writers, while others have placed him amongst the lyric. He has properly a claim to each of these stations; but his versification being chiefly iambic, the former of the arrangements seems to be the most suitable. The principal merit of Catullus's Iambics consists in a simplicity of thought and expression. The thoughts, however, are often frivolous, and, what is yet more reprehensible, the author gives way to gross obscenity: in vindication of which, he produces the following couplet, declaring that a good poet ought to be chaste in his own person, but that his verses need not be so.<blockquote> {{ppoem| Nam castum esse decet pium poētam Ipsum, versiculos nihil necesse est. }}</blockquote> This sentiment has been frequently cited by those who were inclined to follow the example of Catullus; but if such a practice be in any case admissible, it is only where the poet personates<noinclude></noinclude> rrwyrtx2vpy2d0t594kc82wtxf1maq4 Page:Sexual Offences against Children Act 2017.pdf/17 104 4847990 15133918 2025-06-14T13:19:54Z 廣九直通車 2256060 /* Proofread */ 17 15133918 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="廣九直通車" />{{Rh||''Sexual Offences against Children''|17}}</noinclude>'''Non-application of sections 173{{Sc|a}}, 293 and 294 of the Criminal Procedure Code''' {{Anchor|24.0}}'''24.'''

The deputies from the city Soviets to the All-Russian Congress are elected directly and straight from the city Soviets, which represent the populations of the cities. The deputies of the country or village populations are not selected directly by the Soviets of the respective settlements, but by the Gubernia Congress, i. e., through a three-grade system. This will not appear significant until we examine the construction of the Gubernia Soviet Congress as outlined in the Constitution. Article 53, paragraph B, states as follows: "The Gubernia (circuit) Congresses of Soviets are composed of representatives of city Soviets and volost (village district) Congresses on the basis of one deputy for every 10,000 of population and from the cities at the rate of one deputy for every 2,000 voters, but the number shall not exceed 300 for the entire Gubernia (circuit)." We thus see that in these Gubernia Congresses, which are to elect the deputies of the village population to the All-Russian Congress, there are participating not only the local deputies of the village population, but deputies from the cities as well, and in a double proportion at that, i. e., deputies from the city Soviets and deputies elected directly by the city voters. It stands to reason that when these Gubernia Congresses elect deputies to the All-Russian Congress, they will elect representatives not only from the villages and settlements, but also men from the cities, which will still further reduce the proportion of the peasantry's representation in the central organ of the Soviets which decides the fate of all Russia. We thus see that the electoral law is so framed as to insure for the city population a preponderant representation in comparison with the village population. It was done, obviously, for party purposes, as the village is less inclined to Bolshevism than the population of the cities, and it was deemed expedient to give the peasantry, which makes up 80 per cent of the population of Russia, a weaker representation than the city workmen.

Only the following few words cover this entire matter: "Elections are to be conducted in accordance with established customs, upon days designated by local Soviets" (Article No. 66). And that is all. Whether these customs are good or bad, whether they will guarantee the electors freedom of voting or not, or whether these elections may be substituted by some neatly masked appointments by the administrative authorities (such "customs" were known to have happened in the old Tzarist days of ill-repute), nothing is indicated in the law, and, consequently, a wide opportunity and latitude is hereby presented for various manifestations in the voting and the carrying out of the will of the various commissaries and administrators instead of the will of the people. In fact, the elections are conducted everywhere at open meetings by a simple showing of hands. Aside from unjust and faulty representation, the organization of the Soviets and the Executive Committees is entirely too cumbersome, and keeps thousands of people out of productive employment and constantly on the go from congress to congress and from meeting to meeting. When we consider that the "term of a Soviet deputy's tenure of authority is only three months" we get a complete picture of the constant process of elections and re-elections of deputies. Of course, all this hampers materially the productivity of these Soviets. Here are the rungs in the Soviet ladder of elections: Town and Village Soviets Village district (volost) Soviets and their Executive Committees County (ooyezd) Soviets and their Executive Committees Provincial (gubernia) Soviets and their Executive Committees Territorial Soviets and their Executive Committees The All-Russian Congress and its Executive Committee. It will be noted that only the village and the city Soviets are elected directly. All the others are elected through a mixed process, and some receive their mandate through a five-grade sifting. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> ktuy08562ahs2dlt7bzs2ktnv4589ok Page:Konstantin Mikhailovich Oberuchev - Soviets vs. Democracy (1919).djvu/42 104 4847994 15133922 2025-06-14T13:27:07Z MarkLSteadman 559943 /* Proofread */ running header 15133922 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="MarkLSteadman" />{{rule}} {{rh|36|''The Soviets, Their Rule and Constitution''|}} {{rule}}</noinclude>We have noted above that the main Soviet Congress styles itself the "All-Russian Congress of Workmen's, Peasants', Cossacks' and Red Army Deputies," but, in spite of all investigation, we have not found any indication of the manner of election of deputies from the army to the Soviets, either in the Soviet Constitution or in the decrees about the Red Army at our disposal. It is difficult, therefore, for us to state the proportion of the Red Army deputies in the All-Russian Congress. But, judging by the Soviet leaders' clever manipulations in providing for the preponderant numerical advantage of the city workers over the peasants in the Ail-Russian Congress, we may rest assured that they have not failed to make the proper provisions for the Red Army, the real mainstay of the so-called Soviet rule. We see, therefore, that the elections to the Soviet are neither universal, equal, secret nor direct. From this cursory analysis of the construction of the Soviets we may conclude that even without any misuse of authority or invasion of rights, the representative organs of the Soviets are not the expression of the popular will, but the representation of certain privileged classes, the representation of a small minority to the detriment of the overwhelming majority. And as in present-day Soviet Russia the central authorities have adequate possibilities to control the local powers and to rule the entire country even under the general and imperfect laws adopted by them, it goes without saying that party rule is having even fuller sway in Russia to-day than it had in the days of Tzarism. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 570cazhe8wj8can5r9p0rv871dmjggj Sexual Offences against Children Act 2017 0 4847995 15133923 2025-06-14T13:28:30Z 廣九直通車 2256060 new text 15133923 wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = Sexual Offences against Children Act 2017 (Act 792) | author = |override_author=Parliament of Malaysia | translator = | section = | previous = | next = | year = 2017 | portal = | notes = '''Date of Commencement: 31 July 2012''' (P.U.(B) 340/2017)(Ministry of Home Affairs) }} {{default layout|Layout 2}} <pages index="Sexual Offences against Children Act 2017.pdf" from="1" to="1"/> {{ppb}} <pages index="Sexual Offences against Children Act 2017.pdf" from="2" to="2"/> {{ppb}} <pages index="Sexual Offences against Children Act 2017.pdf" from="3" to="4"/> {{ppb}} <pages index="Sexual Offences against Children Act 2017.pdf" from="5"/> {{PD-EdictGov}} [[Category:Laws of Malaysia]] 1tlsul54w61sjdrqvwzu7rz8jeb7szp 15133931 15133923 2025-06-14T13:31:36Z 廣九直通車 2256060 fix 15133931 wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = Sexual Offences against Children Act 2017 (Act 792) | author = |override_author=Parliament of Malaysia | translator = | section = | previous = | next = | year = 2017 | portal = | notes = '''Date of Commencement: 10 July 2017''' (P.U.(B) 340/2017)(Ministry of Home Affairs) }} {{default layout|Layout 2}} <pages index="Sexual Offences against Children Act 2017.pdf" from="1" to="1"/> {{ppb}} <pages index="Sexual Offences against Children Act 2017.pdf" from="2" to="2"/> {{ppb}} <pages index="Sexual Offences against Children Act 2017.pdf" from="3" to="4"/> {{ppb}} <pages index="Sexual Offences against Children Act 2017.pdf" from="5"/> {{PD-EdictGov}} [[Category:Laws of Malaysia]] jcdskat1fiyxttbnvpjqrl2lm0d6n5l Page:Lives of the Twelve Caesars (Thomson and Forester).djvu/84 104 4847996 15133924 2025-06-14T13:29:01Z TheTimeBombII 3137028 /* Proofread */ 15133924 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TheTimeBombII" />{{rvh|68|{{sc|remarks on the life and times of}}}}</noinclude>a profligate character; and the instances in which it is adopted by Catullus are not of that description. It had perhaps been a better apology, to have pleaded the manners of the times; for even Horace, who wrote only a few years after, has suffered his compositions to be occasionally debased by the same kind of blemish. Much has been said of this poet's invective against Cæsar, which produced no other effect than an invitation to sup at the dictator's house. It was indeed scarcely entitled to the honour of the smallest resentment. If any could be shewn, it must have been for the freedom used by the author, and not for any novelty in his lampoon. There are two poems on this subject, viz. the twenty-ninth and fifty-seventh, in each of which Cæsar is joined with Mamurra, a Roman knight, who had acquired great riches in the Gallic war. For the honour of Catullus's gratitude, we should suppose that the latter is the one to which historians allude: but, as poetical compositions, they are equally unworthy of regard. The fifty seventh is nothing more than a broad repetition of the raillery, whether well or ill founded, with which Cæsar was attacked on various occasions, and even in the senate, after his return from Bithynia. Cæsar had been taunted with this subject for upwards of thirty years; and after so long a familiarity with reproach, his sensibility to the scandalous imputation must now have been much diminished, if not entirely extinguished. The other poem is partly in the same strain, but extended to greater length, by a mixture of common jocular ribaldry of the Roman soldiers, expressed nearly in the same terms which Cæsar's legions, though strongly attached to his person, scrupled not to sport publicly in the streets of Rome, against their general, during the celebration of his triumph. In a word, it deserves to be regarded as an effusion of Saturnalian licentiousness, rather than of poetry. With respect to the Iambics of Catullus, we may observe in general, that the sarcasm is indebted for its force, not so much to ingenuity of sentiment, as to. the indelicate nature of the subject, or coarseness of expression. The descriptive poems of Catullus are superior to the others, and discover a lively imagination. Amongst the best of his productions, is a translation of the celebrated ode of Sappho:<blockquote> {{ppoem| Ille mî par esse Deo videtur, ille, &c. }} </blockquote> This ode is executed both with spirit and elegance; it is, however, imperfect; and the last stanza seems to be spurious. Catullus's epigrams are entitled to little praise, with regard either to sentiment or point; and on the whole, his merit, as a poet, appears to have been magnified beyond its real extend. He is said to have died about the thirtieth year of his age.<noinclude></noinclude> oeqhr9jqz9tk2w1i7qbep338om77ion Page:Konstantin Mikhailovich Oberuchev - Soviets vs. Democracy (1919).djvu/43 104 4847997 15133925 2025-06-14T13:29:56Z MarkLSteadman 559943 /* Proofread */ 15133925 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="MarkLSteadman" /></noinclude>{{c|{{x-larger block|Who are the<br /> "Counter-Revolutionists"<br /> in Russia?}}}} {{di|Q}}UITE frequenly in the American press and in conversation with Americans who have studied Russia for a month or two from a hotel window, the opinion is voiced that the Bolsheviki are the Simon-pure revolutionists of Russia, the vigilant guardians of the true interests of the people, and that they are opposed only by those elements who strive to turn Russia back to her past and to restore autocracy and the privileges which they lost after the Bolshevist coup d'état and rise to power in November, 1917. This prejudiced and biased view is quite widespread, and it is necessary, in the interests of truth, to combat it. We will attempt, therefore, to draw in brief a general outline of the forces which are arrayed against the Bolsheviki in Russia. The March Revolution of 1917, as stated already, came to pass practically without bloodshed, and it captured the heart of the world with its charming beauty. With the exception of some bureaucrats and a few conscientious monarchists, upholders of the old order, there were no malcontents in Russia in the early days of the Revolution. In the process of the Revolution, however, the Provisional Government found it necessary to respond to one general demand of the great masses of the people, and the performance of its duty in that direction created a number of malcontents. We speak of the disbanding of the police and the gendarmes. The hatred of the Russian people for the police, and particularly the gendarmes, is only too well known. Soon after the Revolution insistent demands came from all sides for the dispersal of the police and the gendarmes. This demand had to be complied with, and they were disbanded; and as all of them were ex-soldiers, it was demanded that they be sent to the front. This was also conceded. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> tpd6mi4ysol8dzxpwp16g0tjnuvicjt Page:Konstantin Mikhailovich Oberuchev - Soviets vs. Democracy (1919).djvu/44 104 4847998 15133935 2025-06-14T13:36:27Z MarkLSteadman 559943 /* Proofread */ running header 15133935 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="MarkLSteadman" />{{rule}} {{rh|38|''Who Are the "Counter-Revolutionaries" in Russia?''|}} {{rule}}</noinclude>This last decision, however, was fatal for the Army. In consequence of this act there appeared at the front and in the rear of the Army the old police and gendarmes who were the enemies of the Provisional Government because it had deprived them of their former places and means of existence. Their attention, naturally, was attracted by the group which raised the banner of struggle against the Provisional Government in the name of a so-called better future ; which promised its followers a new, hitherto untried world, and, principally, immediate benefits and wealth; a speedy end to the war, bread to the hungry, the factories to the workers, the land to the peasants, and all of this at once—through confiscation and division. These banished police and gendarmes were certainly not attracted to this program by the higher motives and strivings of some of the idealists among the Bolsheviki. To them it held out a promise of immediate advantages and, principally, a chance to start a fight against the Provisional Government which had deprived them of their former privileges. Thus, almost all of the old police and gendarmes joined the Bolsheviki and began to work actively with them. This proved to be of formidable assistance to the Bolsheviki in the early period of their agitation in the Army, both at the front and in the rear. Whenever news was received from the front that this or the other regiment, under the influence of agitation, had refused to obey orders, and that such a decision had been adopted by the regimental committee, these reports invariably brought the information that the chairman of such a regimental committee or his assistant, or its most active member, was either an old gendarme, a policeman or an ex-member of the Okhrana. And this disruptive activity was carried on not by plain soldiers only. Privates and officers alike, who had formerly belonged to the old police and the gendarmes' corps, took part in it. Who led the troops against Kerensky in the first days of the November Bolshevist usurpation of power? Colonel Valden, the former commander of the Rostov gendarme district.

Lucretius was a zealous partisan of Democritus, and the sect of Epicurus, whose principles concerning the eternity of matter, the materiality of the soul, and the non-existence of a future state of rewards and punishments, he affects to maintain with a certainty equal to that of mathematical demonstration. Strongly prepossessed with the hypothetical doctrines of his master, and ignorant of the physical system of the universe, he endeavours to deduce from the phenomena of the material world conclusions not only unsupported by legitimate theory, but repugnant to the principles of the highest authority in metaphysical disquisition. But while we condemn his speculative notions as degrading to human nature, and subversive of the most important interests of mankind, we must admit that he has prosecuted his visionary hypothesis with uncommon ingenuity. Abstracting from it the rhapsodical nature of this production, and its obscurity in some parts, it has great merit as a poem. The style is elevated, and the versification in general harmonious. By the mixture of obsolete words, it possesses an air of solemnity well adapted to abstruse researches; at the same time that by the frequent resolution of diphthongs, it instills into the Latin the sonorous and melodious powers of the Greek language. While Lucretius was engaged in this work, he fell into a state of insanity, occasioned, as is supposed, by a philtre, or love-potion, given him by his wife Lucilia. The complaint, however, having lucid intervals, he employed them in the execution of his plan, and, soon after it was finished, laid violent hands upon himself, in the forty-third year of his age. This fatal termination of his life, which perhaps proceeded from insanity, was ascribed by his friends and admirers to his concern for the banishment of one Memmius, with whom he was intimately connected, and for the distracted state of the republic. It was, however, a catastrophe which the principles of Epicurus, equally erroneous and irreconcilable to resignation and fortitude, authorized in particular circumstances. Even Atticus, the celebrated correspondent of Cicero, a few years after this period, had recourse to the same desperate expedient, by refusing all sustenance, while he laboured under a lingering disease. It is said that Cicero revised the poem of Lucretius after the death of the author, and this circumstance is urged by the abettors of atheism, as a proof that the principles contained in the work had the sanction of his authority. But no inference in favour of Lucretius's doctrine can justly be drawn from this {{hws|cir|circumstance}}<noinclude></noinclude> lctcllkoauzqqxhzh7s3kixd54ug8um Index:Ozymandias Shelley draft c1817.gif/styles.css 106 4848000 15133937 2025-06-14T13:40:12Z M-le-mot-dit 95366 Left offset 15133937 sanitized-css text/css .ws-poem-left-gutter .ws-poem-line { padding-left: 2.5em; } 5o8wigft0gkbjltsvlze6p8sndpk2mn Page:Konstantin Mikhailovich Oberuchev - Soviets vs. Democracy (1919).djvu/45 104 4848001 15133938 2025-06-14T13:41:56Z MarkLSteadman 559943 /* Proofread */ 15133938 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="MarkLSteadman" />{{rule}} {{rh||''Who Are the "Counter-Revolutionists" in Russia?''|39}} {{rule}}</noinclude>of the Bolsheviki to begin armistice negotiations with the Germans? Lieutenant Schneur, an agent-provocateur of the old Government, arrested later by the Bolsheviki themselves. Who led the army detachments removed by the Bolsheviki from the German front, against the Ukraine, which had a genuinely democratic Government at that time and was straining all its energies to present a fighting front to the Austro-Hungarians ? Colonel Muraviev, a Moscow police captain under the Tzar, discharged by the Provisional Government. We could go on recounting hundreds of names of old servants of the Tzar, true and tried and thoroughly saturated with monarchistic tendencies, who went over to the service of the Bolsheviki and with whom the latter always cooperated. Thus, the group of Bolsheviki which was seeking to "deepen" the Revolution found its early supporters among an element far away from the Revolution and from Socialism, an element to whom the former regime was not merely an ideal one, but a profitable one as well. We, therefore, do not hesitate to assert that the November upheaval which overturned the revolutionary Government,—a Government which made mistakes, but which, nevertheless, was full of idealism and faith in the invigorating mainsprings of true freedom,—that this upheaval was nothing less than a monarchist-Bolshevist counter-revolution. We shall now direct our attention to those elements who rose against the Bolshevist domination and who enlisted in the front ranks of the struggle. Who stood at the head of those who revolted against the usurpers? In Petgrograd it was the new City Council composed largely of Socialists and led by Socialists-Revolutionists. This Council, with the veteran Socialist-Revolutionist, Schreider, at its head, came out in defense of Free Russia in the fight for the Constituent Assembly. In Moscow it was also the Socialist City Council, with the veteran Socialists, Minor, Rudnev, and others, that opened the struggle against the usurpers. The same happened everywhere. The Central Executive Committee of the All-Russian Soviet of Workmen's Deputies, which protested against the ousting of the Provisional Government, was ordered disbanded.

Cicero, though already sufficiently acquainted with the principles of the Epicurean sect, might not be averse to the perusal of a production, which collected and enforced them in a nervous strain of poetry; especially as the work was likely to prove interesting to his friend Atticus, and would perhaps afford subject for some letters or conversation between them. It can have been only with reference to composition that the poem was submitted to Cicero's revisal: for had he been required to exercise his judgment upon its principles, he must undoubtedly have so much mutilated the work, as to destroy the coherency of the system. He might be gratified with the shew of elaborate research, and confident declamation, which it exhibited, but he must have utterly disapproved of the conclusions which the author endeavoured to establish. According to the best information, Lucretius died in the year from the building of Rome 701, when Pompey was the third time consul. Cicero lived several years beyond this period, and in the two last years of his life, he composed those valuable works which contain sentiments diametrically repugnant to the visionary system of Epicurus. The argument, therefore, drawn from Cicero's revisal, so far from confirming the principle of Lucretius, affords the strongest tacit declaration against their validity; because a period sufficient for mature consideration had elapsed, before Cicero published his own admirable system of philosophy. The poem of Lucretius, nevertheless, has been regarded as the bulwark of atheism—of atheism, which, while it impiously arrogates the support of reason, both reason and nature disclaim. Many more writers flourished in this period, but their works have totally perished. Sallust was now engaged in historical productions; but as they were not yet completed, they will be noticed in the next division of the review.<noinclude></noinclude> rlkgo6nrqiir8e3hga0travejwffkhl Page:He who gets Slapped (1949).djvu/86 104 4848003 15133943 2025-06-14T13:46:34Z 82.167.147.5 /* Not proofread */ Created page with "But I am happy that this lovesick beast is neither a duke nor a prince—or she would be a princess and I—what would become of me?

OCTAVIUS CÆSAR AUGUSTUS.}}}} I. {{sc|That}} the family of the Octavii was of the first distinction in Velitræ,<ref>A town in the ancient Volscian territory, now called Veletri. It stands on the verge of the Pontine Marshes, on the road to Naples.</ref> is rendered evident by many circumstances. For in the most frequented part of the town, there was, not long since, a street named the Octavian; and an altar was to be seen, consecrated to one Octavius, who being chosen general in a war with some neighbouring people, the enemy making a sudden attack, while he was sacrificing to Mars, he immediately snatched the entrails of the victim from off the fire, and offered them half raw upon the altar; after which, marching out to battle, he returned victorious. This incident gave rise to a law, by which it was enacted, that in all future times the entrails should be offered to Mars in the same manner; and the rest of the victim be carried to the Octavii. II. This family, as well as several in Rome, was admitted into the senate by Tarquinius Priscus, and soon afterwards placed by Servius Tullius among the patricians; but in process of time it transferred itself to the plebeian order, and, after the lapse of a long interval, was restored by Julius Cæsar to the rank of patricians. The first person of the family raised by the suffrages of the people to the magistracy, was Caius Rufus. He obtained the quæstorship, and had two sons, Cneius and Caius; from whom are descended the two branches of the Octavian family, which have had very different fortunes. For Cneius, and his descendants in uninterrupted succession, held all the highest offices of the state; whilst Caius and his posterity, whether from their circumstances or their choice, remained in the equestrian order until the father of Augustus. The great-grandfather of Augustus served as a military tribune in the second Punic war in Sicily, under the command of Æmilius Pappus. His grandfather contented himself with bearing the public offices of his own municipality, and grew old in the tranquil enjoyment of an ample patrimony. Such is the account given<noinclude>{{smallrefs}}</noinclude> hbhype0k2j9xgye1ejy1i0liupuwtfz Page:Lives of the Twelve Caesars (Thomson and Forester).djvu/88 104 4848007 15133956 2025-06-14T14:13:40Z TheTimeBombII 3137028 /* Proofread */ 15133956 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TheTimeBombII" />{{rvh|72|{{sc|suetonius.}}}}</noinclude>by different authors. Augustus himself, however, tells us nothing more than that he was descended of an equestrian family, both ancient and rich, of which his father was the first who obtained the rank of senator. Mark Antony upbraidingly tells him that his great-grandfather was a freedman of the territory of Thurium,<ref>Thurium was a territory in ''Magna Græcia'', on the coast, near Tarentum.</ref> and a rope-maker, and his grandfather a usurer. This is all the information I have any where met with, respecting the ancestors of Augustus by the father's side. III. His father Caius Octavius was, from his earliest years, a person both of opulence and distinction: for which reason I am surprised at those who say that he was a money-dealer,<ref>Argentarius; a banker, one who dealt in exchanging money, as well as lent his own funds at interest to borrowers. As a class, they possessed great wealth, and were persons of consideration in Rome at this period.</ref> and was employed in scattering bribes, and canvassing for the candidates at elections, in the Campus Martius. For being bred up in all the affluence of a great estate, he attained with ease to honourable posts, and discharged the duties of them with much distinction. After his prætorship, he obtained by lot the province of Macedonia; in his way to which he cut off some banditti, the relics of the armies of Spartacus and Catiline, who had possessed themselves of the territory of Thurium; having received from the senate an extraordinary commission for that purpose. In his government of the province, he conducted himself with equal justice and resolution; for he defeated the Bessians and Thracians in a great battle, and treated the allies of the republic in such a manner, that there are extant letters from M. Tullius Cicero, in which he advises and exhorts his brother Quintus, who then held the proconsulship of Asia with no great reputation, to imitate the example of his neighbour Octavius, in gaining the affections of the allies of Rome. IV. After quitting Macedonia, before he could declare himself a candidate for the consulship, he died suddenly, leaving behind him a daughter, the elder Octavia, by Ancharia; and another daughter, Octavia the younger, as well as Augustus, by Atia, who was the daughter of Marcus Atius Balbus, and Julia, sister to Caius Julius Cæsar.

Areas have been observed and variously described in many types of massive rocks, whose component minerals possess neither the complete independence of optical orientation characteristic of granular structures, nor the entire optical continuity of the separated portions of two interpenetrating crystal individuals. These areas are in fact occupied by a comparatively large individual of one mineral which is more or less completely filled with crystals or grains of other minerals, arranged with no reference to one another or to their host. This structure does not usually appear as distinct from the granular except when seen as a mottling of a large cleavage surface of the enclosing mineral in a hand specimen, or as an irregular spotting of a uniformly extinguishing area under the microscope. In ordinary light, such an area may appear quite granitic, but between crossed nicols it is very distinctive. Like the graphic or micropegmatitic structure, this relation is most commonly observed between quartz and feldspar, especially in the groundmass of quartz-porphyries; but, like that structure, it is also by no means uncommon between many other species. Essentially this structure was figured and described at length by the writer in a quartz-porphyry from near Tryberg, in the Black Forest, in 1883,<ref>Neues Jahrbuch für Min., etc., Beilage bd. 11, p. 607. Plate {{roman|12}}, figs. 3 and {{nowrap|3{{sup|a}},}} 1883.</ref> although no particular name was at that time given to it.

Its preferable orthography is, however, that given above. At the time it was proposed the writer was not familiar with Breithaupt's name, ''poikilit'', for bornite, nor with the designations, ''terrain poecilien'', ''poecilitic'' and ''poikilitic'', given successively by Brongniart (1829), Conybeare (1832) and Buckland (1837) to the "New Red" sandstone (cf. Bridg. Treat. 11., p. 38). The totally different application of these terms could, however, produce no confusion with the one now proposed, even if they were not obsolete.</ref> for the macroscopic equivalent of this structure which is characteristic of the hornblende of the Stony Point hornblende-picrite or cortlandtite, as it is also of the Baste and Schriesheim ''schillerfels'' of Germany. This had before been called "''luster mottling''," by Pumpelly<ref>Proc. Am. Acad., vol. 13, p. 260. Boston, 1878.</ref> and Irving,<ref>Monogr. U. S. Geol. Survey, vol. 5, p. 42, 1883.</ref> but this name is not capable of application to other allied structures of different appearance. In 1887 the writer described this macro-poikilitic structure in the orthoclase phenocrysts of an orthoclase-norite, belonging to the Cortlandt series.<ref>American Journal of Science, ({{nowrap|3{{sup|d}} ser.}}) vol. 33, p. 139, 1887.</ref> Though it is not uncommon in many minerals, it is less important and less frequent than the micropoikilitic structure in the groundmass of acid porphyritic rocks of all ages. When studying the ancient quartz-porphyries of Missouri for his thesis, Prof. E. Haworth encountered it and applied to it for the first time the name ''poecilitic''.<ref>Am. Geologist, vol. 1, pp. 368, 369; Pl. {{roman|1}}, fig. 1, June, 1888.</ref> In this connection the writer furnished Dr. Haworth the following from his lecture notes: {{smaller block/s}} "A holocrystalline groundmass contains no amorphous or unindividualized matter whatever, and independently of differences occasioned by variations in the fineness of grain, three quite distinct types of holocrystalline structure are distinguishable. These three types are conditioned by the mutual relation of the quartz and feldspar crystals, which compose the groundmass. In the first place they may be wholly independent, thus giving rise to a granular aggregate which is well designated by the term ''Microgranitic Structure''. "In the second place a granular effect may be produced by the complete interpenetration of two individual crystals of the same size.

Father Ivan answered: "The church warden. He carries the mail and drives the district policeman." To that the Toyon answered: "Hand over this sluggard to the church warden for a horse and let him pull the policeman until he drops—we shall see what will happen next." Just as the Toyon was saying these words, the door opened; his son entered the hut and sat down at his right hand. And the son said: "I have heard the sentence pronounced by you. I have lived long on the earth, and I know the ways of the world. It will be hard for the poor man to take the place of the district policeman's horse. However, so be it, only mayhap he still has something to say: speak baraksan! (poor fellow!)" Then there happened a strange thing. Makar, the Makar who had never before in his life uttered more than ten words at a time, suddenly felt himself possessed of the gift of eloquence. He began speaking, and wondered at himself. There seemed to be two Makars, the one talking, the other listening and marvelling. He could scarcely believe his ears.

He did not hesitate. If by any chance he became confused, he corrected himself and shouted twice louder than before. But above all he felt that his words were carrying conviction. The ancient Toyon, who had at first been a little annoyed by his boldness, began listening with rapt attention, as if he were being persuaded that Makar was not the fool that he seemed to be. Father Ivan had been frightened for an instant and had plucked Makar by the coat-tails, but Makar had pushed him aside and continued his speech. The fears of the old priest were quickly allayed; he even beamed at Makar as he heard his old parishioner boldly declaring the truth, and saw that that truth was pleasing to the heart of the ancient Toyon. Even the young servants of the Toyon with their long gowns and their white wings came out of their quarters and stood in the doorways listening with wonder to Makar's words, nudging one another with their elbows. Makar commenced his plea by saying that he diet not want to take the place of the church warden's horse. Not because he was afraid of hard work, but because the sentence was unjust. And because the sentence was unjust, he would not submit to it; he would not do a stroke of work nor move one single foot. Let them do what they would with him!

Since that time, little mention is made of it in history, and the glory it obtained in becoming the abode of Buffon has effaced its former renown. The old gardener, who used to relate numerous anecdotes of the naturalist, is dead; he reached nearly the age of ninety, and was never weary of talking of the ancient glories of the place. His ''daughter'', who remembers only the burial of M. de Buffon, has now the care of the flower-gardens, and, though abounding in zeal, has not, as she herself allows, ''sufficient hands'' to weed and water, and tend and dress the beds as they should be; therefore, more than half is left in all the simplicity of nature. The ''jardin potager'' is that which is most attended to: it is of immense extent and very productive; its grapes and wall fruit are of the finest flavour, and it is in general in tolerable order; but being much too large for the wants of its owner, the whole of the domain cannot but present an appearance of neglect and decay, however beautiful and venerable the trees, shrubs, and walls may be.

The Abbey of Fontenai, of the order of Cîteaux, was called the ''second daughter'' of the powerful monastery of Clairvaux. It was founded in 1118 by Bernard and Millon de Montbard in a spot called Chatilun, near a wondrous fountain, famous for the miracles performed there by a holy hermit, called Martin, who had chosen it for a retreat. The rich bishop Evrard of Norwich was at this time forced to fly from England in consequence of the insubordination of the clergy under his care, and, quitting his diocese, he repaired to this secluded place, where he established his abode on a neighbouring hill, from whence he looked down on the rising convent at his feet. In a short time, the monks succeeded in exciting his interest, and, his religious zeal being roused, he undertook to assist them with money and advice.

Amongst other valuables from numerous churches they brought way a vase of great size and beauty. St. Remy, afflicted at this loss, sent to Clovis and entreated the monarch to restore to him this vase, even if he were unable to give him back the rest. Clovis answered the envoys,—"Follow me to the city of Soissons, where all will be divided which has been ''acquired'', and should the vase fall to my lot I will gratify the desire of the holy father." On their return to Soissons the Franks, as was their custom, placed all the booty in a common heap: Clovis asked of them the vase over and above his part: no one objected, till one of the soldiers raising his two-edged axe, with a savage clamour exclaimed, "Thou shalt have nothing, O king! but what chance may give thee;" so saying, he struck the vase a heavy blow with his axe.

It can there be proved in some cases to be of secondary origin as it occurs in plainly devitrified glasses, and it is the writer's opinion that such enclosing quartz areas will, in many cases, prove to have originated subsequent to the solidification of the rock. I am not aware that either the macro- or micropoikilitic structures have been directly recognized by the German petrographers. I am indebted to Prof. L. V. Pirsson of New Haven for the information that the latter is recognized in France, although we have been unable to find any definition of it in print. He has shown me a section of a quartz-porphyry from Georgia, with a groundmass exactly like those from South Mountain, which Fouqué examined and pronounced an admirable example of the "''{{lang|fr|type épongeuse}}''," sometimes called "''{{lang|fr|structure pétrosiliceuse à ponce}}''." It is clearly not the same as Michel Lévy's ''{{lang|fr|structure globulaire}}'', which he defines: "{{lang|fr|Sphérolites radiés, imprégnés de quartz orienté dans un sens optique unique. Globules imprégnés de quartz orienté, auréoles}},"<ref>{{lang|fr|Roches Éruptives}}, p. 29.{{em}}Paris, 1889.</ref> because there the included matter is radially arranged, while in the micropoikilitic structure it is wholly irregular in its arrangement. The references given above are sufficient to demonstrate the frequency of the rock structure here mentioned, and to show the desirability of some term to describe it. It is therefore proposed that ''poikilitic'' and ''micropoikilitic'' be employed for rock structures, whether primary or secondary, conditioned by comparatively large individuals of one mineral enveloping smaller individuals of other minerals, which have no regular arrangement in respect either to one another or to their host. {{right|{{sc|George H.

JUSTICE DOUGLAS, with whom THE CHIEF JUSTICE and MR. JUSTICE BLACKMUN concur, dissenting. I dissent from the holding of the Court that the Board has no jurisdiction to determine the "reasonableness" of the fines placed by the Union on its dissident members. The Union and Boeing had an effective collective-bargaining agreement from May 16, 1963 through September 15, 1965. On the expiration of that contract the Union struck against Boeing, causing a work stoppage that lasted 18 days. On October 2, 1965, a new collective agreement was reached and work was resumed. During the strike, about 143 employees at the Michoud plant crossed the picket line and reported for work. All of these had been Union members during the 1963-1965 contract period. Some of the 143 who worked during the strike did not resign from the Union; 119 did resign—61 before they crossed the picket line and '''[p80]''' returned to work; 58 resigned during the course of the strike, but after they had crossed the picket line. All of these resignations were submitted after the expiration of the 1963-1965 collective agreement. The Union never warned members on this or on earlier occasions, that disciplinary measures could or would be taken against members who crossed the picket line. After the new collective agreement was reached, the Union notified all members who had crossed the picket line to work during the strike that charges had been laid against them and that they would be tried by the Union for "improper" conduct, the Union's constitution permitting disciplinary measures, including, "reprimand, fine, suspension and/or expulsion from membership, or any lesser penalty or any combination." Those who appeared for trial and those who did not appear were found guilty and fined $450 each and barred from holding a Union office for five years. The fines of some 35 who appeared and apologized and took a loyalty oath were reduced to 50% of their earnings during the strike; and the prohibition against holding Union office was reduced in those cases. The Union sent out a written notice saying that the unpaid fines had been referred to an attorney for collection and that the reduced fines would be restored to $450 if not paid. Suits against nine employees were filed in a state court to collect the fines plus attorneys' fees and interest, and they are unresolved. Boeing filed a charge of an unfair labor practice against the Union under § 8 (b)(1)(A) of the Act.<ref name="ref1"/> The '''[p81]''' General Counsel issued a complaint and the Board decided that the Union had violated § 8 (b)(1)(A) except for the fines on members for crossing the picket line to work and for the fines on those who resigned after returning to work during the strike, for work performed during the strike prior to their resignations. But the Board, one member dissenting, refused to pass on the reasonableness of the fines, holding it lacked the power to do so. The unfair labor practice under § 8 (b)(1)(A) is the action of a union "to restrain or coerce" an employee from the "right to refrain from" assisting a union as that right is defined in § 7. In ''Scofield v. NLRB'', [[394 U.S. 423]], we upheld a union role and concluded "that its enforcement by ''reasonable'' fines does not constitute the restraint or coercion proscribed by § 8 (b)(1)(A)." ''Id.'', at 436 (emphasis added). See also ''NLRB v. Allis-Chalmers Mfg. Co.'', [[388 U.S. 175]]. The imposition of a nominal fine of $1 might suit the circumstances of a case, where a $1,000 fine would be monstrous. A nominal fine might be justified where, as here, the employees had no warning that they would or could be fined for working behind a picket line. A fine where the only sanction would be temporary suspension from the union might be "reasonable," yet unreasonable if it was court enforceable, meaning, as it does here, that attorneys' fees, costs, '''[p82]''' and interest may be added. A member who must pay the union's attorney as well as his own if he challenges the reasonableness of a fine in a state court and loses, may well be suffering an unconscionable penalty. Moreover the fine may be imposed by a union which believed as did the present Union that the member had no "right" to resign, though ''NLRB v. Textile Workers'', [[409 U.S. 213]], held to the contrary. The present fines seem to be swollen by that predilection of the Union. The present fines also exceed the earnings of the workers during the strike period. By what standard can that possibly be justified? As member McCulloch of the Board, dissenting, said, the excess of the fines over the wages collected during this period is in actual effect an assessment after the strike is over. If after the strike the Union caused Boeing to suspend a member without pay after the strike because he had worked during the strike, there could be no question but that the Union violated § 8 (b)(1)(A). Yet, the assessment of fines greater than the wages earned during the strike has precisely that effect. Thus, in assessing an unreasonable fine the Union, in my view, goes beyond the permissible bounds of regulating its internal affairs. It is no answer to say that the reasonableness of a fine may be tested in a state-court suit. That envisages a rich and powerful union suing a rich and powerful employee. Employees, however, are often at the bottom of the totem pole, without financial resources, and unworldly when it comes to litigation. Such a suit is likely to be no contest. The Board procedures, on the other hand, may be readily available. If an employee files a charge with any merit, the Regional Director will issue a complaint. Thereafter, the General Counsel represents the employee, and the agency bears any cost of prosecuting the claim. '''[p83]''' But my difficulty with the Court's decision is even greater. State judges, though honest and competent, have no expertise in labor-management relations. The Board does have that expertise and can evolve guidelines based on its broad experience. It is said that Congress has provided the Board with no guidelines for passing on the "reasonableness" of union-imposed fines. But the Board through case-by-case treatment has been developing an administrative common law concerning "unfair" practices of employers and unions alike. We have said on other occasions that the "experience and commonsense" which are facets of the expertise of the Board, ''NLRB v. Radio & Television Broadcast Engineers'', [[364 U.S. 573]], 582-583, are adequate for the difficult and delicate responsibilities which Congress has entrusted to it, subject of course to judicial review. A fine discretely related to a legitimate union need and reflecting principled motivations under the law is one thing. A fine that reflects the raw power exercised by a union in its hunger for all-pervasive authority over members is quite another problem. The Labor Board, which knows the nuances of this problem better than any other tribunal, is the keeper of the conscience under the Act. It and it alone has primary responsibility to police unions, as well as employers, in protection of the rights of workers. In my view it cannot properly perform its duties under § 8 (b)(1)(A) unless it determines whether the nature and amount of the fine levied by a union constitute an unfair labor practice. {{Reflist|refs= <ref name="ref1">That section provides: <blockquote>"(b) It shall be an unfair labor practice for a labor organization or its agents— :"(1) to restrain or coerce (A) employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed in section 7: ::''Provided'', That this paragraph shall not impair the right of a labor organization to prescribe its own rules with respect to the acquisition or retention of membership therein...." 61 Stat. 141, [[United States Code/Title 29/Chapter 7/Subchapter II#§ 158.

There was not more fun in his life than might be, but what there was he enjoyed with huge gusto. There were ridiculous murders and absurd tragedies that appealed to him as jokes. He was not to be denied his laugh when Death played the clown. "Tom Hill’s death," said Garrett, "was as funny as a farce-comedy on the stage. After the Lincoln County war, he doubled up with Jesse Evans and they started out as regular highwaymen. Hill was the man who killed Tunstall and had besides two or three other notches on his gun. Evans was a jolly kind of daredevil but he was as tough as Hill. These two famous fighters and badmen picked out an old German living down Alamogordo way as an easy fellow to rob. The old German used to drive about the country selling goods and usually carried quite a large sum of money in a box under his wagon seat. He never went armed, and to these two bold desperadoes he seemed such a harmless, helpless old chap that they would have been ashamed to rob him if they hadn't needed the money. But they did need it and they figured it would be about the easiest money they ever stole. "They ran on to his camp while the old German was off a ways in the hills gathering some wood for his fire. When the old fellow came back and saw Hill and Evans rummaging through his wagon, he hardly knew what to make of it at first. He had never had any personal experience with robbers before. 'Hey, vat you do dere?' he called, more in curiosity than anger. Hill and Evans didn't pay any attention to him. Both being crack shots, they could have killed him, but thet didn't think this 'harmless old Dutchman' was worth shooting.

The Jugi’s words reached the raja, and he was so much affected by them, that he immediately began to sulk, and on being questioned by his two ranis, he replied, “Do you not remember the words of the Koema Jugi?” They said, “Yes, we remember. He said, ‘if you place hiras and manis in this garden the whole country will be resplendent’.” “On that account then, I am sulking, and if I do not see hiras and manis, I shall not partake of any food.” At the ra‘a’s words the two ranis returned sorrowfully to their apartments. At that moment their four sons entered the house and asked for food. The ranis were annoyed, and said, “The raja, your father, is sulking, and you must have food and drink.” On learning their father’s state the youths were distressed on his account, and went to him weeping, and enquiffed why he was sulking. He related to them the words of Koema Jugi, and added, “Unless Isee Airas and manis attached to the branches of the trees in my flower garden, I shall not rise from my couch.” His four sons replied, “Is it for this reason you are grieving? We will search for, and bring them, and if we fail, then sulk again, and refuse your food, and die of hunger, and we will not prevent you, only listen to us this time and getup.” The raja was persuaded to rise, and having partaken of food he was refreshed. {{rule}} * Diamonds. + A mythical gem, said to be found in the heads of certain snakes.<noinclude></noinclude> bcl7sgxdjsun8rqdmt8j6fhf5tnd2ie Acadiensis/Volume 3/Number 4/Old Magazines of Canada Wanted 0 4848063 15134124 2025-06-14T16:55:49Z Tcr25 731176 transclude 15134124 wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[Acadiensis]], [[Acadiensis/Volume 3|Vol. III]], [[Acadiensis/Volume 3/Number 4|No. 4]] | editor = David Russell Jack | contributor = David Russell Jack |contributor-dispaly=D.

In this companion case to ''NLRB v. Boeing Co., ante'', [[412 U.S. 67|p. 67]], we must decide whether our decision in ''NLRB v. Textile Workers'', [[409 U.S. 213]], authorizes the Board to find that a union commits an unfair labor practice in seeking court enforcement of fines imposed for strikebreaking activities by employees who have resigned from the union, even though the union constitution expressly prohibits members from strikebreaking. We hold that it does. On September 16, 1965, the day after the expiration of the collective-bargaining agreement between Booster Lodge No. 405, International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, AFL-CIO (the Union), and the Boeing Co. (the Company), the Union called a lawful strike and picketed the Company's Michoud, Louisiana, plant to further its demands for a new contract. The strike continued for 18 days, during which time 143 of the 1,900 production and maintenance employees represented by the Union crossed the picket line to work. All of these employees had been members of the Union before the strike,<ref name="ref1"/> but 61 resigned their membership prior to returning to work and another 58 resigned after they returned to work.<ref name="ref2"/> These resignations were tendered in registered or certified letters to the Union. Neither its constitution nor its bylaws '''[p86]''' contained any provision expressly permitting or forbidding such resignations. The strike ended on October 4, 1965, after ratification of a new collective-bargaining agreement by the Union membership. During late October and early November, the Union notified all employees who had crossed the picket line to work during the strike that charges had been preferred against them under the Union constitution for "Improper Conduct of a Member" because of their having "accept[ed] employment... in an establishment where a strike or lockout exist[ed]." They were advised of the dates of their Union trials, which were to be held even in their absence, and of their right to be represented by any counsel who was a member of the International Union. Fines were imposed on all employees who had worked during the strike without regard to whether or not such employees had resigned or had remained members.<ref name="ref3"/> None of the disciplined employees processed intra-union appeals. To the extent that fines were not paid,<ref name="ref4"/> the Union sent written notices to the offending employees stating that the matter had been referred to an attorney for collection Suits were initiated in state court against nine employees for the purpose of collecting the fines plus attorneys' fees and interest. None of these suits has been resolved. The Company filed an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board alleging that the Union had violated § 8 (b)(1)(A) of the [[National Labor Relations Act]], 61 Stat. 141, [[United States Code/Title 29/Chapter 7/Subchapter II#§ 158. Unfair labor practices.|29 U.S.C. § 158 (b)(1)(A)]].<ref name="ref5"/> '''[p87]''' The General Counsel issued a complaint, and the Board held that the Union violated § 8 (b)(1)(A), by fining those employees who had resigned from the Union before returning to work during the strike, and by fining those who had resigned after returning to work to the extent that such fines were based on post-resignation work. No violation was found in the Union's fining members for crossing the picket line to work during the strike or in its fining those employees who resigned after they returned to work for work performed prior to resignation. The Board ordered the Union to cease and desist from fining employees who had resigned from the Union for their post-resignation work during the strike and from seeking court enforcement of such fines. It further ordered reimbursement to employees who had already paid fines for any amount imposed because of post-resignation work. The Court of Appeals sustained these holdings, 148 U.S. App. D.C. 119, 459 F.2d 1143 (1972), and, on the Union's petition for review, we granted certiorari. 409 U.S. 1074. In ''NLRB v. Textile Workers'', 409 U.S., at 217, we held that "[w]here a member lawfully resigns from a union and thereafter engages in conduct an unfair labor practice when it seeks enforcement of fines for that conduct." Since in that case there was no provision in the Union's constitution or bylaws limiting the circumstances in which a member could resign, we concluded that the members '''[p88]''' were free to design at will and that § 7 of the Act, [[United States Code/Title 29/Chapter 7/Subchapter II#§ 157. Right of employees as to organization, collective bargaining, etc.|29 U.S.C. § 157]],<ref name="ref6"/> protected that right to return to work during a strike which had been commenced while they were union members.<ref name="ref7"/> The Union's imposition of court-collectible fines against the former members for such work was, therefore, held to violate § 8 (b)(1)(A). Here, as in ''Textile Workers'', the Union's constitution and bylaws are silent on the subject of voluntary resignation from the Union.<ref name="ref8"/> And here, as there, we leave open the question of the extent to which contractual restriction on a member's right to resign may be limited by the Act. Since there is no evidence that the employees here either knew of or had consented to any limitation on their right to resign, we need "only to apply the law which normally is reflected in our free institutions—the right of the individual to join or to design from associations, as he sees fit 'subject of course to any financial obligations due and owing' the group with which he was associated." ''Textile Workers, supra'', at 216. The Union contends, however, that a result different from ''Textile Workers'' is warranted in this case because, '''[p89]''' even though its constitution does not expressly restrict the right to resign during a strike, it does impose on members an obligation to refrain from strikebreaking. The Union asserts that this provision has been consistently interpreted to bind a member, notwithstanding his resignation, to abstain from strikebreaking for the duration of an existing strike. It urges that this provision may be enforced as a matter of contract law against one whose membership has ceased, because it was an obligation he undertook while a member. The provision in the Union's constitution which proscribes strikebreaking by its terms purports only to define "misconduct of a member." Nothing in the record indicates that Union members were informed, prior to the bringing of the charges that were the basis of this action, that the provision was interpreted as imposing any obligation on a resignee.<ref name="ref9"/> Thus, in order to sustain the Union's position, we would first have to find, contrary to the determination of the Board and of the Court of Appeals, that the Union constitution by implication extended its sanctions to nonmembers, and then further conclude that such sanctions were consistent with the Act. But we are no more disposed to find an implied post-resignation commitment from the strikebreaking proscription in the Union's constitution here than we were to find it from the employees' participation in the strike vote and ratification of penalties in ''Textile'' '''[p90]''' ''Workers''.<ref name="ref10"/> Accordingly, the judgment of the Court of Appeals sustaining the Board's finding of an unfair labor practice on the part of petitioner Union is {{rh|||''Affirmed.''}} {{Reflist|refs= <ref name="ref1">The expired collective agreement contained a maintenance-of-membership provision that required new employees, as a condition of continued employment, to become members of the Union unless they notified both the Union and the Company within 40 days of accepting employment that they did not wish to join. Further, Union members were required to maintain their membership during the life of the contract. {{paragraph break}} </ref> <ref name="ref2">The remaining employees who returned to work during the strike did not resign from the Union. {{paragraph break}} </ref> <ref name="ref3">A standard fine of $450 was imposed on each of the disciplined employees. The amount was reduced, however, for those few members who appeared at their hearings, apologized for their actions, and pledged loyalty to the Union. {{paragraph break}} </ref> <ref name="ref4">None of the $450 fines has been paid, but reduced fines have been paid in a few instances. {{paragraph break}} </ref> <ref name="ref5">Section 8 (b)(1)(A) of the Act provides, in relevant part: <blockquote>It shall be an unfair labor practice for a labor organization or its agents— :"(1) to restrain or coerce (A) employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed in section 7: ::''Provided'', That this paragraph shall not impair the right of a labor organization to prescribe its own rules with respect to the acquisition or retention of membership therein...."</blockquote> {{paragraph break}} </ref> <ref name="ref6">Section 7 of the Act provides, in relevant part: <blockquote>"Employees shall have the right to self-organization, to form, join, or assist labor organizations, to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing, and to engage in other concerted activities for the purpose of collective bargaining or other mutual aid or protection, and shall also have the right to refrain from any or all of such activities...."</blockquote> {{paragraph break}} </ref> <ref name="ref7">It was stipulated in that case that all 31 of the employees who resigned from the Union during the strike and retuned to work participated in the strike vote, and voted in favor of the strike. ''NLRB v. Textile Workers'', [[409 U.S. 213]], 219 n. 2 (BLACKMUN, J., dissenting). {{paragraph break}} </ref> <ref name="ref8">Since the collective-bargaining agreement expired prior to the times of the resignation, the maintenance-of-membership clause therein was no impediment to resigning. {{paragraph break}} </ref> <ref name="ref9">The Union points out in its brief that at the 1972 International Union convention its interpretation of the strikebreaking proscription was made explicit. This constitutional amendment, made seven years after the strike here, is persuasive evidence that it was not there, before, or at a minimum, that the proscription then existing did not apprise the employees of their asserted obligations to the Union. {{paragraph break}} </ref> <ref name="ref10">In its reply brief, the Union argues that in ''Textile Workers'' there was no limiting rule on post-resignation return to work during the course of the strike, but that in this case, the Union constitution proscribed such conduct. In ''Textile Workers'', however, there was a duly enacted rule prohibiting any member from aiding and abetting the employer during the strike and subjecting violators to a $2,000 fine. On its face, the constitutional proscription here advanced is no broader than that rule. {{paragraph break}} </ref> }} </div> __NOTOC__ 044yilpdr56gjrw3ykc75mz4f2fj8ln Page:Santal Folk Tales.djvu/80 104 4848065 15134129 2025-06-14T16:58:48Z ᱤᱧ ᱢᱟᱛᱟᱞ 3095615 /* Not proofread */ Created page with "{{center|{{larger|II}}}} The raja had planted flowering shrubs in his garden, but the Indarpuri Sadoms* ate up all the flowers as they appeared, and so he again began to sulk.

I said that Henry Dehning's wife was proud of such very different things, but that was wrong, she was proud in very different fashion but proud of the same things. She loved his success and the worth with which he conquered and she was not anxious to forget the way that he had come. No she was in her way proud that he himself had done it. She liked his power, and when she ever thought about it she liked the honest way she knew that he had done it. And like him too she was very proud in their three educated children but to her thinking there was very little they could teach her. She knew it all always very well and much better than they could ever know it. But she was very proud of these educated children and she was very proud of her husband Henry Dehning though she knew he always did little things so badly and that he would still always play like a poor man with his fingers and he never would learn not to doit. Yes she was very proud of her husband though he always did little things so badly and she had always to be telling him how a man in his position should know how to do it. She came towards him now when he was through with his talking, and she had one rebuke to him for his always calling her his girl Miss Jenny, and another for the way he had of fidgeting always with his fingers. "Don't do that Henry!," she said to him loudly. Mrs. Dehning was the quintessence of loud-voiced good-looking prosperity. She was a fair heavy woman, well-looking and firmly compacted and hitting the ground as she walked with the same hard jerk with which she rebuked her husband for his sins. Yes Mrs. Dehning was a woman whose rasping insensibility to gentle courtesy deserved the prejudice one cherished against her, but she was a woman, to do her justice, generous and honest, one whom one might like better the more one saw her less. Yes it was now all very different for them. It was very pleasant always for Henry Dehning then, to stand and to look about him, yes truly it was now all very different with him. He had his family there about him, a family certain to be a satisfaction to him, They were a group to gratify the feeling of pride in him, they were so prosperous vigorous good-looking, honest, and always respectful to him, and surely they would have later, good hope of winning for themselves all that he could ever wish to them. Yes it certainly was very different now with him. Could one ever have it real to him that in one life time a man could have it all so different for him, that a man all alone in his single lifetime could make it so that he could have it to be truly all so different in him. Nay for a man to have it in a single life time all so different for him is more strange than being born and being then a baby and then a child<noinclude></noinclude> 9gn2undponw86enkqsxjg2f8jqz5urm Page:Swords and plowshares (IA swordsplowshares00cros).pdf/56 104 4848070 15134155 2025-06-14T17:07:23Z Tcr25 731176 /* Proofread */ 15134155 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Tcr25" />{{rh|Peace||}}</noinclude>{{ppoem|start=stanza| Once in man and quadruped Lurked a Brute who now is dead.

At nightfall, Lelha, having supped, tied up in the four corners of his plaid four kinds of roasted grain, and entering the garden climbed up on a raised platform, and began his vigil.

Just as he had consumed the last one, an Indarpuri Sadom descended from the East H.nd alighted in the garden to browse upon the flowers.

I was in solitary dissent in ''Textile Workers, id.'', at 218. I emphasized there that "it seems likely that the three factors of a member's strike vote, his ratification of strikebreaking penalties, and his actual participation in the strike, would be far more reliable indicia of his obligation to the union and its members than the presence of boilerplate provisions in a union's constitution," ''id.'', at 220; that the Court's opinion seemed to me "to exalt the formality of resignation over the substance of the various interests and national labor policies that [were] at stake," ''id.'', at 221; that § 7 of the National Labor Relations Act "does not necessarily give him [the employee] the right to abandon these [union] activities '''[p91]''' in midcourse once he has undertaken them voluntarily," ''id.'', at 222, quoting from 446 F.2d 369, 373; and that the policy of § 7 would not be frustrated by a holding that an employee, in the circumstances of that case, could "knowingly waive his § 7 right to resign from the union and to return to work without sanction." 409 U.S., at 222-223. The present case, however, is a very different situation. None of the Boeing employees who resigned from the Union had been given notice of a strikebreaking penalty before the strike vote or before their participation in the strike. The imposition of a penalty was never ratified formally by the union membership. The members were not notified that post-resignation strikebreaking was proscribed and would subject them to union discipline. And the provision in the Union's constitution, referred to by the Court, ''ante'', at 89, as to a member's general obligation to refrain from strikebreaking, surely does not make up for this lack of notice, and it would not do so even if it were clearly applicable, which it is not, to strikebreaking after resignation from the Union. Without effective notice of obligations that are supposed to be assumed, there can be no waiver of a member's § 7 right to refrain from participation in a legal strike. In the absence of such notice, § 8 (b)(1)(A) bars the union from subjecting a member to a choice between the substantial obligation of weathering the strike and that of being subjected to court-collectible fines for failure to do so.

''Cutting''.}} {{fsx|95%|Society accepted the phrase and the Premier's enemies shot many a shaft anent it.}} '''Ægis''' (''Latin''). A shield, hence protection, patronage, from Minerva's habit of putting her invisible shield in front of her favourites when in battle. {{fsx|95%|Madam Adelina Patti appeared yesterday afternoon under the ægis of Messrs Harrison, and once more gathered a great audience round her.—''D''. ''T''., 4th June 1897.}} '''Æstheticism''' (''Soc''., 1865 - 1890). Ideal social ethics, represented outwardly by emblems, chiefly floral, the more significant flowers being the white lily and the sunflower. The women wore their dresses chiefly in neutral tints, and especially in three series, viz.:—greens, dead leaf (the yellows, or yellowish, of the series); olive (the middle path of colour); and sage (the blues of the series). In each of these series there were scores of tints. The pomegranate was also a fetish. (''See'' Grego.) {{fsx|95%|The joke of æstheticism and sunflowers had been smiled at and had died once or twice between 1865 and 1878 before it was familiar enough to the public for dramatic purposes.—''D''. ''N''., 27th January 1887.}} '''Affigraphy''' (''Coster''). To a T, exactly. A corruption of autograph—the vulgar regarding a signature as of a world-wide importance and gravity. (''See'' Sivvy.) '''Afters''' (''Devon''). Sweets—pies and puddings. 'Bring in the afters' is a common satirical remark in poor Devonshire houses, especially when there are no 'afters' to follow. Also used in Scotland, ''e''.''g''., 'Hey mon, a dinner, an' nae afters!' '''Afternoon Calls''' (''Soc''., 19 ''cent''.) Referring to exclusive society, who have never accepted the afternoon 'drums' and five o'clock teas, but adhered to the more formal 15-minute afternoon visit. {{fsx|95%|You had not observed that sort of thing before marriage? Never. What I saw of her was at afternoon calls.—Lord Gerard's evidence in Lord Durham's Nullity of Marriage suit, March 1885.}} '''Afternoonified''' (''Soc''.). Smart. {{fsx|95%|What may prove a popular new adjective made its first appearance last week. A lady entered a fashionable drapery store. The lady found nothing to please her. The shopwalker then was called. This individual, with a plausible tale or compliment, will invariably effect a sale after all other means have failed. In reply to his question whether the goods were not suitable, the fastidious customer answered: 'No, thank you; they are not "afternoonified" enough for me.' In the case of a lady armed with an argument of such calibre what was the shopwalker to say or do? Like a wise man, he expressed his regret and beat a dignified retreat. The lady did the same, but the adjective remained. — ''D''. ''T''., July 1897.}} '''{{'}}After you with the push{{'}}''' (''Peoples{{'}}''). Said, with a satirical mock politeness, in the streets to any one who has roughly made his way past the speaker, and 'smudged' him. '''Aggeravators, Hagrerwaiters''' (''Costermongers''). Side-curls still worn by a few conservative costermongers. Of two kinds—the ring, or ringlet (the more ancient), and the twist, dubbed, doubtless in the first place by satirists, 'Newgate Knockers'. Indeed the model of this embellishment might have been the knocker of the door of the house of the governor of that gaol. The aggravation may mean that these adornments excite envy in those who cannot grow these splendours, or that they aggravate or increase the admiration of the fair sex. The younger costers wear rival forehead tufts—such as the Quiff, the Guiver, or the Flop. There is, however, one golden rule for these fashions—the hair must stop short of the eyelids. '''Agony in Red''' (''Soc''.). Vermilion costume. When the æsthetic craze was desperately 'on' (1879-81), terms used in music were applied to painting, as a 'nocturne in silver-grey,' a 'symphony in amber,' a 'fugue in purple,' an 'andante in shaded violet'. Hence it was an easy transition to apply terms of human emotions to costumes. {{fsx-block/s|95%}}There are many terrible tints even now to be found among the repertory of the<noinclude>{{fsx-block/e}} {{center inline|3}}</noinclude> c9hdoh9c21gwbfyxab7zd3z66nm69ld Page:The Cabin at the Trail's End.djvu/15 104 4848093 15134221 2025-06-14T17:46:36Z ShakespeareFan00 8435 /* Not proofread */ Created page with "She drank in the beauty avidly, turning from the rivers below to the mountains and back again.

In the distance the mighty falls of the Willamette dropped to the lower river, with— Oregon City on the flat below. Silent with awe, Mar- tha watched the spray of rainbow mist hovering above the cataract. Willamette Falls justified all the stories she had heard of its grandeur. Oregon City's little group of houses held her, but as her gaze wandered up the hill, she noted a well- developed farm standing out, a clear-cut jewel, against the background of timber. The marvels of snowy peaks, cataract, and rivers had been uplifting, but this farm brought her swiftly back to earth with its silent promise of plenty so easily wrested from virgin soil. This was a farm beyond the wildest dreams of what awaited her in the Oregon country. Measuring with an eye unaccustomed to mountain surfaces, she judged it to be the full six hundred and forty acres—a square mile—that had been promised by the Linn bill, then before Congress, to settlers in the Oregon country.<noinclude></noinclude> prn5hzh96lha099gauv4a47xweq2ui5 Page:Swords and plowshares (IA swordsplowshares00cros).pdf/62 104 4848094 15134224 2025-06-14T17:47:48Z Tcr25 731176 /* Proofread */ 15134224 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Tcr25" />{{rh|Great||}}</noinclude>{{larger|'''Great'''{{gap}}[[File:Leaf - Swords and Plowshares (1902).png|30px]]}} {{ppoem| {{di|I}}T is great{{mdash}}great: To combine enormous industries; To direct efficiently hundreds of thousands of men; To tear the bowels from the mountains, to fire giant forges, to supply the wants of millions; To manage vast railway systems for the carriage of your manufactures, to handle fleets such as the world never saw before; To economize magnificently, to pay your expenses with your waste products, to keep accounts as easily in nine figures as in three; To annex one industry after another with a momentum that appals and astonishes you at your own achievement; To make parliaments and armies your mere puppets with the forms of the life that you alone are living{{mdash}} It is great indeed{{mdash}}great.

All the way across the plains those in the train who had been to Oregon and were returning with their families had sung the praises of this model farm above Oregon City, of the wonderful yield of its grain fields, the fruitfulness of its orchard, the fatness of its long-horned cattle, ready for beef in the winter-time from standing belly deep in waving grasses. The snug double cabin seemed a bit of heaven to a tired emigrant woman. With a mind leaping ahead. she saw a comfortable cabin where the wagon with its tattered dust-gray cover was drawn up under the shelter of two immense fir trees. It was a dejected- looking Conestoga wagon with the woodwork shrunken and warped by the intense heat of the alkali plains. The wheels dished outward so that the tires had to be held in place with wire put on at judicious intervals. The body was scarred and gaping at the corners; the tongue had been broken and roughly spliced with a peeled pole. Two emaciated oxen, well hobbled, grazed eagerly near. The mind must be able to dwell in the future to endure the immediate present. The 21st of November, 1843, this was. The wagon, one of the first ten to come clear through to Oregon City from Independence, Missouri, was part of the great train of one thousand emigrants known to history as "The great emigration of Oregon home- builders."

The correctness of this statement I am unable to verify, but that the animals were numerous is evidenced by the interest taken by government in their preservation, as well as by the facts, regarding the parties hunting them, set out in Patterson's despatch. The sea-cow would seem to have been very easily captured. It frequently came on to the land and made its way for short distances inland. Its unwieldiness would render it practically helpless on shore, where it would fall an easy prey to its captors. In the water it was more at home, and its pursuit, at least in the smaller boats, was probably not without an element of danger. The late Judge Alley, who was an authority on matters relating to the earlier days of settlement in this island, informed me that one method adopted by the fishermen in hunting the animals was, when possible, to catch a young calf and take it on board their craft, when the noise made by the youngster attracted the old ones to the vessel's side where they were readily despatched. Whatever the methods employed to catch them, there can be no doubt but that they were only too successful, the results being that the herds have long since become extinct. That they ever existed is almost forgotten, and with the exception of a few references to them in official papers and a few place-names, there is little now to tell of what was once an important industry. {{right|[[Author:Alexander Bannerman Warburton|A.

His two sons and three daugh- ters, married to advantage, lived in the neighborhood, and came, once a month, to dine with their father. His vigor was known in all the country about; people said, as if it were a proverb: *'He is as strong as Saint Anthony." When the Prussian invasion occurred, Saint Anthony, at the inn, promised to eat an army, for, like a true Norman, he was a romancer, and a little of a coward and a blusterer. He brought his heavy fist down on the wooden table, making it jump, while the cups and glasses danced, and he cried out, with red face and cunning eye, in the false anger of the jovial fellow : "In Heaven's name ! Will it be necessary to eat some of them?" He counted on the Prus- sians not coming any farther than Tan- neville; but when he learned that they were at Rautot, he would not go out of his house, and he watched without ceas- ing through the little window of his kitchen, expecting every moment to S(5C the glint of bayonets. One morning, as he was eating soup with his servants, the door opened and the mayor of the commune, Mastei Chicot, appeared, followed by a soldier, wearing on his head a black cap set ofi with a point of copper. Saint Anthony arose with a bound ; everybody looked at him, expecting to see him cut the Prus- sian in pieces; but he contented himself with shaking hands with the mayor, who said to Lim: ''Here's one of 'em foi you to take care of, Saint Anthony. They came in the night. . I haven't been surly with them, seeing they talk of shooting and burning if the least thing happens. You are warned. Give him something to eat. He seems a good lad. I am going to the other houses to seek quarters for the rest of them. There is enough for everybody." And he went out. Father Anthony looked at his Prus- sian and grew pale. He was a great boy, fat and white, with blue eyes and blond hair, bearded up to the cheek- bones, and he seemed stupid and timid, like a good child. The Norman rogue comprehended him immediately, as he thought, and, reassured, made him a sign to sit down. Then he asked : "Will you have some soup?" The stranger did not understand. An- thony then made an audacious move, and, pushing a full plate under the nose of his unexpected guest, he said: There, eat that, you big pig!"

Bat upon this he doubled himself with laughter, grow- ing red enough for an attack of apo- plexy, and was unable to speak for a moment. An idea had seized him which suffocated Lim with laughter: "That's it ! That's it !" he cried, "Saint Anthony and his pig! I am Saint Anthony and this is my pig!" And the three ser- vants laughed loudly in their turn. The old man was so pleased with his jest that he ordered the maid to bring some brandy, of the ten-year-old brand, with which he regaled everybody. They drank with the Prussian, who smacked his lips as a bit of delicate flattery, in order to indicate that he found it de- licious. And Saint Anthony cried out in his face: "Yes! This is something fine! You don't find anything like it at home, my pig!" After this, father Anthony never went out without his Prussian. Pie had found his opportunity. was vengeance to him, the vengeance of a great rogue. And all the people of the countryside, who were trembling with fear, laughed until in torture, behind the backs of their conquerors, at the farce of Saint Anthony and his pig. Indeed, as a joke, they thought it had not its equal. He had only to say a few things like this; "Go along, pig! Go!" in order to pro- voke convulsions of merriment. He would go among his neighbors every afternoon with his German, their arms around each other, and would pre- sent him with a gay air, tapping him on the shoulder and saying: "See! Here is my pig! Look at him and tell me if you think he is getting fat, this here animal!" And the peasants fairly bubbled with laughter — he was such a wag, this rogue of an Anthony! "I'll sell him to you, Caæesar," he would say, "for three pistoles." "I take him, Anthony, and invite you to come and have some of the pudding." "Me," said Anthony, "what I want is some of the feet." "Punch his body and see how fat he is!" said Caesar. And everybody would wink slyly, not laughing too much, however, for fear the Prussian might surmise finally that they were mocking him. Anthony alone, growing bolder every day, would pinch the calves of his legs, crying out: "Nothing but fat!" or strike him on the back and shout: "There's some good bacon!" Then the old man, capable of lifting an anvil, would seize him in his arms and raise him up in the air, de- claring: "He weighs six hundred and not a bit of waste!"

They became apparently the best friends in the world. And v;hen the old man went on business into the surround- ing country, the Prussian accompanied him of his own accord, for the sole pleasure of being with him. The weather was very rigorous; it had frozen hard; the terrible winter of 1870 seemed to throw all plagues to- gether upon France. Father Anthony, who looked out for things ahead and took advantage of opportunities, foreseeing that he would need manure for his spring work, bought some of a neighbor who found himself in straits; he arranged to go each eve- ning with his cart and bring it home, a load at a time. And so, toward evening of each day, he was to be seen on the way to Haules's farm, half a mile dis- tant, always accompanied by his pig. And everybody ran along with them, as they go on Sunday to a grand mass, for each day was a feast-day for feeding the animal. But the time came when the soldier began to be suspicious. And, when they laughed too much he rolled his eyes as if disturbed, and sometimes they sent forth a spark of anger. One evening, when he had eaten to the extent of his capacity, he refused to swallow another morsel, and undertook to start up and go away. But Saint Anthony stopped him with a blow on the wrist and, placing his two hands on the Prussian's shoulders, he sat him down again so hard that the chair cracked under him. A perfect tempest of gaiety followed; and Anthony, radiant, picked up his pig, rubbing the wounded spot, with the sem- blance of healing it. Then he declared: "Since you won't eat, you shall drink, by jiminy!" And somebody went to the alehouse for brandy. The soldier rolled his eyes in wicked fashion; but he drank, nevertheless, as much as they wished; and Saint An- thony held his head ; to the great amuse- ment of his assistants. The Norman, red as a tomato, with fiery eye, filled the glasses, drinking and guying him with: "To your sweet- heart!" And the Prussian, without a word, encompassed glass after glass of these bumpers o.' cognac. It was a struggle, a battle, a defense I In Heaven's name! who could drink the most? They could take no more, either of them, when the bottle was drained, but neither was conquered. They were neck and neck, and that was all. It would be necessary to start over thj next day.

The snow began to fall, and the night, without a moon, seemed to shed a sad light over this death of the plains. The cold took hold of the two men, increasing their drunkenness, and Saint Anthony, discontented at not having triumphed, amused himself with pushing his pig by the shoulder, trying to make him fall over into the ditch. The man evaded the attacks by retreat; and each time he would mutter some German words in an irritated tone, which made the farmer laugli heartily. Finally, the Prussian became angry; and just at the moment when Anthony gave him another push, he responded with a ter- rible blow of the fist which made the old colossus totter. Then, inflamed with brandy, the old fellow seized the man by the arms and shook him for some seconds, as if he bad been a child, and then threw him with all his might to the other side of the road. Content with his execution, he folded his arms and laughed in good earnest. But the soldier got up quickly, bare- headed, his cap having rolled off, and, drawing his sword, made a plunge for father Anthony. When the farmer saw this he seized his great fork of yellow holly, strong and supple as a beef tendon. The Prussian came on with his head lowered, weapon in front of him, sure of killing his foe. But the old man, grasping with firm hand the blade whose point was aimed to pierce his body, turned it aside, and struck his enemy such a sharp blow upon the temple, with the point of the fork, that he fell at his feet. Then the peasant looked at liis fallen foe frightened, stupefied with astonishment, seeing the body shaken v/ith spasms at first, arid then lying motionless upon its face. He stooped, turned him over and looked at him a long time. The mans eyes were closed, and a little stream of blood was running from a hole in the forehead. In spitf of the darkness, father Anthony could distinguish the brown spot of blood on the snow. He remained there, bewildered, v/hile his cart went on at the horses' regular step. What was to be done? He would shoot him! Then the Prussians would burn his place and work ruin throughout the country! But what should he do? What should he do? How conceal the body, conceal the death, deceive the Prussians? He could hear voices in the distance, in the silence of the snow- storm. Then he became excited, and, seizing the cap, he put it on the man's head again ; and, taking him by the back, he raised him up. ran, overtook his team, and threw the body on the ma- nure. Once at home, he could think what to do. He went along with short steps, rack- ing his b-ain but unable to decide any- thing. He understood the matter and felt sure that he was lost. Finally he came to his house. A bright light shone through a dormer window; his servant was not yet asleep. Then he made his wagon back quickly to the edge of a hole in the field. He thought by over- turning the load the body would fall underneath, in the ditch; and he tipped the cart over. As he had thought, the man was buried under the manure. An- thony evened off the heap with his fork, and stuck it in the ground at the side.

The sweat of fear started out upon him; his teeth chattered; he got up, shivering so that he could scarcely hold his clothes to get into them. He went down into the kitchen, took a bottle of liquor from the sideboard, and went back to his chamber. He drank two large glasses of liquor in succession, adding a new drunkenness to the old one, without calming the agony of his soul. He felt that he had made a pretty mess of it this time! He walked the floor to and fro, seek- ing a ruse or explanation for his wick- edhess. And from time to time he would rinse his mouth with a draught of the ten-year-old cognac to put some heart into his body. But he could think of nothmg, nothing. Toward midnight, his watchdog, a kind of half wolf, which he called "Devour," began the howl of death. Father Anthony trembled to the marrow. And each time that the beast began his long, mournful wail again, a shiver of fear would run along the skin of the old man. He had fallen upon a chair, with 'Weak knees; he was besotted, unable to do more, expecting that Devour would continue his wailing, and his nerves were ; played upon by every form of fear that could set them vibrating. The clock downstairs struck five. The dog was ■ still howling, and the farmer was be- coming mad. He got up and started to . unchain the animal, so that he might no longer listen to it. He went downstairs, opened the door, and went out into the night. The snow was falling still. All was white. The farm buildings were great, black spots. As he approached the ken- nel, the dog pulled on his chain. He loosed him. Then, Devour made a bound, stopped short, with hair bristling, paws trembling, smelling the air, his nose turned toward the manure heap Saint Anthony trembled from head to foot, muttering: "What's the matter v;ith you, dirty beast?" And he ad- vanced some steps, casting a penetrating eye through the uncertain shadows, the undefined shadows of the courtyard. Then he saw the form of a man seated on his manure-heap! He looked at the figure, and gasped with horror, motionless. But suddenly he perceived near him the handle of his fork stuck in the earth. He pulled it from the soil, and, in one of those trans- ports of fear which make cowardly men more bold, he rushed on with it, to see who the man was. It was he, the Prussian, soiled fron his bed Oi manure, the warmth of which had revived him and partly brought him back to his senses. He had seated him- self mechanically, and was resting there upon the snow which 1 ad powdered him well, over the filth and blood, still be- sotted by drunkenness, stunned by the blow, and exhausted from his wounds. He perceived Anthony and, too much stupefied to understand anything, he made a movement as if to rise. The old man, as soon as he recognized him, fumed like a wild beast.

In the list of system-names we find Carboniferous and Cretaceous, indicative of mineral characters, associated with Tertiary and Quaternary, meaning rank in some undefined order of sequence. The presence of these terms is no less mysterious than the absence of grauwacke and old-red sandstone, and primary and secondary, which were originally included. Triassic is the name of another system and records the three-fold division of the system of rocks to which it was applied; and Devonian, the name of another, reminds us of the county in England in which its rocks were first named. Observing these things, one is tempted to call in question the reliability of a systematic classification so heterogeneously compounded. Although the older living geologists can remember back almost to the beginnings of the science, those who now are beginning their study of geology may find profit in examining the foundation principles, and the systems which have been devised, and have led to the construction and belief in the present classification—a classification, the adoption and unification of which has been thought worthy of the organization and continuance of an international Congress of Geologists. It is needless to call attention to the necessity of some systematic classification of geological formations, but as a foundation for the scientific study of the history of organisms there is need of a time-scale running back into the past, the degree of accuracy of which is known as well as the extent of its unreliability.

These efforts proved unavailing. The fishermen and others quickly exterminated the herds, so thoroughly that not one has been seen or heard of in these waters within the memory of the "oldest inhabitant." It is an illustration of the old story of "killing the goose," just as fishermen and some traders whose real interest it is now-a-days to preserve the lobster and oyster fisheries, seem to be the ones most determined, despite all law and common sense, to destroy them. Though the sea-cow is no longer found on our shores, it has left its name on the nomenclature of the country. In the western part of this province we have "Sea-Cow Pond." On the right hand, as we make Summerside Harbor, "Sea-Cow Head" tells of the animals that once haunted the waters there or made their clumsy way on to and over the dry land. The sea-cow was of much value to the old settlers. Its oil would not only be of use to them, but would also be an article for barter or trade. Whether or not use was made of the flesh, I cannot say, but the hide was of great consequence. At a time when ordinary articles required about the new settlement were most difficult to procure, when goods could only be obtained with much trouble, and most frequently not at all, the sea-cow's hide afforded an exceedingly strong and excellent material for traces and other parts of harness used in the new lands, and to a great extent would take the place of leather for other purposes. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> ogyfuqumohufsej2hd7luea0onxliix Page:The Complete Short Stories of Guy de Maupassant.djvu/794 104 4848113 15134257 2025-06-14T18:32:15Z Alautar98 3088622 /* Not proofread */ Created page with "Wait — wait!"

When the trench was long enough, he rolled the dead body into it with the fork, replaced the earth, kicking it about until it was level, put the manure over it again, and smiled to see the snov thicken and complete his work, wholly covering all traces with its white veil. Then he stuck his fork into the ma- nure and returned to the house. His bottle was still half full upon the table. He emptied it with a gulp, threw him- self upon the bed, and slept profoundly. He awoke Sobered, his mind calm and active, capable of judging the case and foreseeing results. At the end of an hour, he was scouring the country ask- ing everybody the whereabouts of the soldier. He went to the officers, to find out, he said, why they had taken his man away. As the Prussians knew nothing of the peculiar situation between the two men, they were not suspicious; and Anthony even directed the search, affirming thai the Prussian had gone running after some petticoat nearly every evening.

And she loved them and respected them from the bottom of her heart, without knowing them, with a poetic ex- altation, with a hereditary devotion, with all the sensibility of a well-born woman. She was kindly in every feeling of her soul. She had no child, and was in- cessantly regretting it. When M. de Meroul came across his old school-fellow Joseph Mouradour at a ball, he experienced from this meeting a profound and genuine delight, for they Lad been very fond of one another in their youth. After exclamations of astonishment over the changes caused by age in tlieir bodies and their faces, they had asked one another a number of questions as to their respective careers. Joseph Mouradour, a native of the .south of France, had become a coun- cillor-general in his own neighborhood. Frank in his manners, he spoke briskly and without any circumspection, telling all his thoughts with sheer indifference "I to prudential considerations. He was a Republican, of that race of good-natured Republicans who make their own ease the law of their existence, and who carry freedom of speech to the verge of brutality. He called at his friend's address in Paris, and was immediately a favorite, on account of his easy cordiality, in spite of his advanced opinions. Madame de Meroul exclaimed: "What a pity! such a charming man!** M. de Meroul said to his friend, in a sincere and confidential tone: *'You cannot imagine what a wrong you do to our country." He was attached to his friend nevertheless, for no bonds are more solid than those of childhood re- newed in later life. Joseph Mouradour chaffed the husband and wife, called them "my loving turtles," and occasion- ally gave vent to loud declarations against people who were behind the age, against all sorts of prejudices and tradi- tions. "When he thus directed the flood of hij democratic eloquence, the married pair feeling ill at ease, kept silent through i sense of propriety and good-breeding; then the husband tried to <-urn off the conversation in order to avoid any fric- tion. Joseph Mourado'ir did not want to know anyone unless he was free to say what he liked. Summer came round. The Merouls knew no greater pleasure than to receive their old friends in their country house at Tourbeville. It was an intimate and healthy pleasure, the pleasure uf homely gentlefolk who had spent most of their lives in the country. They used to go to the nearest railway station to meet some of their guests, and drove them to the house in their carriage, watching for compliments on their district, on the rapid vegetation, on the condition of the roads in the dena^tment. on the cleanli-<noinclude></noinclude> odhq6nmvz732wim9kzo7tmf64q8nnq6 Talk:Richmond School Board v.

The ancients in many respects were keen observers; they knew much about plants, animals, physical and chemical phenomena, and astronomy. But with all their learning, there appears to have been no conception formed of an ancient history of the globe and its inhabitants prior to the earlier centuries of the Christian era. One of the first geological phenomena to become generalized into a theory was that of the formation of mountains by earthquakes, as cited by Avicenus in the tenth century. The gradual change of relative level of land and sea, as seen in the encroaching of the sea or the departure of sea from the shore, gave rise to speculations regarding the great length of time required for the lifting of the whole land by this means. In the sixteenth century, Lyell reminds us, attention was drawn to the meaning of fossils, and dispute arose as to their nature. Leonardo da Vinci doubted the then current belief that the stars were the cause of the fossil shells and pebbles on the mountain sides, and advanced the idea "that the mud of rivers has covered and penetrated into the interior of fossil shells at the time when these were still at the bottom of the sea near the coast" (Lyell's Principles, p. 34). By degrees, as Lyell has described in such fascinating manner, one after another the foundation principles arose, were discussed, controverted, and finally, by their intrinsic truth, became established. But it was not till nearly the beginning of the present century that enough was known of rocks for the formation of a general systematic classification of geological formations. The belief in a limit of six thousand years for the formation of the world was prevalent. Catastrophy was the universal resort for explanation of phenomena not then understood. And for geological purposes the Noachian deluge was an indispensable agent for the scientific explanation of even the conspicuous phenomena. For these reasons inquiry did not reach into the antiquity of the geological ages.

They liked to have it noticed that their horses trotted in a wonderful manner for an animal employed a part of the year in field-work; and they awaited with anxety the newcomer's opinion on their family estate, sensitive to the slightest word, grateful for the slightest gracious attention. Joseph Mouradour was invited, aad he announced his arrival. The wife and the husband came to meet the train, delighted to have the opportunity of do- ing the honors of their house. As soon as he perceived them, Joseph Mouradour jumped out of his carriage with a vivacity which increased their satisfaction. He grasped their hands warmly, congratulated them, and intoxi- cated them with compliments. He was quite charming in his manner as they drove along the road to the house; he expressed astonishment at the 'height of the trees, the excellence of the crops, and the quickness of the horse. When he placed his foot on the steps in front of the chateau, M. de Meroul said to him with a certain friendly solemnity: "Now you are at home." Joseph Mouradour answered : "Thanks, old fellow; I counted on that. For my part, besides, I never put my- self out with my friends. That's the only hospitality I understand." Then he went up to his own room, where he put on the costume of a peasant, as he was pleased to describe it. and he came down again not very long after, attired in blue linen, v^itb yellow boots, in the careless rig-out of a Parisian out for a holiday. He seemed, too, to have become more common, more jolly, more famihar, having as sumed along with his would-be rustic garb a free and easy swagger which he thought suited the style of dress. His new apparel somewhat shocked M. and Madame de Meroul, who even at home on their estate always remained serious and respectable, as the particle "de" before their name exacted a certain amount of ceremonial even with their intimate friends. After lunch they went to visit the farms; and the Parisian stupefied the respectable peasant by talking to them as if he were a comrade of theirs. In the evening, the cure dined at the house — a fat old priest, wearing his Sun- day suit, who had been specially asked that day in order to meet the new- comer. When Joseph saw him he made a grimace, then he stared at the priest in astonishment as if he belonged to some peculiar race of beings, the like of which he had never seen before at such close quarters. He told a few stories allow- able enough with a friend after dinner, but apparently somewhat out of place in the presence of an ecclesiastic. H*? did not say, "Monsieur I'Abbe," but merely "Monsieur"; and he embarrassed the priest with philosophical views as to the various superstitions that pre- vailed on the surface of the globe. He remarked: "Your God, Monsieur, is one of those persons whom we must respect, but als: one of those who must be discussed.

But Joseph immediately replied: "That's a very good joke, too! Am I to bother my brains about a devil- dodger? At any rate, do me the favor of not ever again having such an old fogy to dinner. Confound his impu- dence!" "But, my friend, remember his sacred character." Joseph Mouradour interrupted him: "Yes, I know. We must treat them like girls who get roses for being well behaved! That's all right, my boy! When these people respect my convic- tions, I will respect theirs!" This was all that happened that day. Next morning Madame Je Meroul, on entering her drawing-room, saw lying on the table three newspapers which made her draw back in horror, **Le Voltaire," '*La Republique Frangaise," and "La Justice." Presently Joseph Mouradour, still in his blue blouse, appeared on the threshold, reading "L'lntransi^eant" at- tentively. He exclaimed: "Here is a splendid article by Roche- fort. That fellow is marvelous." He read the article in a loud voice, laying so much stress on its most strik- ing passages that he did not notice the entrance ot his friend. M. de Meroul had a paper in each hand: "Le Gaulois" for himself and **Le Clarion" for his wife The ardent prose of the master-writex who overthrew the empire, violently de- claimed, recited in the accent of the south, rang through the peaceful draw- ing-room, shook the old curtains with their rigid folds, seemed to splash the walls, the large upholstered chairs, the solemn furniture fixed in the same posi- tion for the past century, with a hail of words, rebounding, impudent, ironi- cal, and crushmg. The husband and the wife, the one standing, the other seated, listened in a state of stupor, so scandalized that they no longer even ventured to make a ges- ture. Mouradour flung out the conclud- ing passage in the article as one sets off a stream of fireworks; then in an em- phatic tone he remarked: "Thats a stinger, eh?" But suddenly he perceived the two prints belonging to his friend, and he seemed himself for a moment overcome with astonishment. Then he came across to his host with great strides, de- manding in an angry tone: "What do you want to do with these papers?" M. de Meroul replied in a hesitating voice: "Why, these — these are my — my newspapers." "Your newspapers! Look here, now,, you are only laughing at me! You will do me the favor to read mine, to stir you up with a few new ideas, and, as for yours — this is what I do with them—" And before his host, filled with confu- sion, could prevent him, he seized the two newspapers and flung them out through the window.

And then there springs up in our hearts a desire to dance, a desire to run, a desire to sing, a happy lightness of thought, a sort of enlarged tenderness; we feel a longing to embrace the sun. The blind, as they 5it in the doorways, impassive in their eternal darkness remain as calm as ever in the midst of this fresh gaiety, and, not comprehending what is taking place around them, they continue every moment to stop their dogs from gamboling. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 8yb3uq42smmf97lsa13fdjr57eu2883 Page:The Complete Short Stories of Guy de Maupassant.djvu/799 104 4848126 15134272 2025-06-14T18:50:09Z Alautar98 3088622 /* Not proofread */ Created page with "When, at the close of the day, they are returning home on the arm of a young brother or a little sister, if the child says: "It was a very fine day!" the other answers; "I could notice that 'twas fine.

Lulu wouldn't keep quiet." I have known one of these men whose life was one of the most cruel martyr- doms that could possibly be conceived. He was a peasant, the son of a Nor- man farmer. As long as his father and mother lived, he was more or less taken care of; he suffered little save from his horrible infirmity ; but as soon as the old people were gone, a life of atrocious misery commenced for him. A depend- ent on a sister of his, everybody in the farmhouse treated him as a beggar who is eating the bread of others. At every meal the very food he swallowed was made a subject of reproach against him; he was called a drone, a clown; and al- though his brother-in-law had taken pos- session of his portion of the inheritance, the soup was given to him grudgingly — just enough to save him from dying. His face was very pale and his tv/o big white eyes were like wafers. He remained unmoved in spite of the in- sults inflicted upon him, so shut up in himself that one could not tell whether he felt them at all. stirred till night. He made no gesture, no movement; only his eyelids, quiver- ing from some nervous affection, fell down sometimes over his white sight- less orbs. Had he any intellect, any thinking faculty, any consciousness of his own existence? Nobody cared to inquire as to whether he had or no. For some years things went on in this fashion. But his incapacity for doing anything as well as his impassiveness eventually exasperated his relatives, and he became a laughing-stock, a sort of martyred buffoon, a prey given over to native ferocity, to the savage gaiety of the brutes who surrounded him. It is easy to imagine all the cruel practical jokes inspired by his blind- ness. And, in order to have some fun in return for feeding him, they now con- verted his meals into hours of pleasure for the neighbors and of punishment for the helpless creature himself. Ths peasants from the nearest houses came to this entertainment ; it was talked about from door to door, and every day the kitchen of the farmhouse was full of people. For instance, they put on the table in front of his plate, when he was beginning to take the soup, a cat or a dog. The animal instinctively scented out the man's infirmity, and, softly ap- Moreover, he had never known any preaching, commenced eating noiselessly, ^'tenderness, his mother had always lapping up the soup daintily; and when treated him very unkindly, caring a rather loud licking of the tongue scarcely at all for him; for in country awakened the poor fellow's attention, it places the useless are obnoxious, and the would prudently scamper away to avoid peasants would be glad, like hens, to the blow of the spoon directed at it bv kill the infirm of their species.

See Lyell, "Principles," Vol. 1, p. 72, and Conybeare and Phillips "Geology," p. vi, and p. xiii.</ref> (Johann Gottlob Lehmann died in St. Petersburg, 1767) is generally credited with having first proposed a classification of rocks on the basis of the order of their formation, as Primitive, Secondary, and a third class, the modern or superficial rocks made by the deluge or ordinary river action. Lehmann recognized also a direct relation of origin of the Secondary from the Primitive rocks, and thuse arose the beginnings of the geological time-scale. Lehmann recognized three originally distinct kinds of rocks, or rock formations. The volcanic were separated from the others because having no particular connection with either in origin. The distinction, however, between Primitive and Secondary was fundamental. The Primitive was strictly the original basal rock formed by crystallization from chemical solution before organisms lived; and the Secondary rocks were of secondary origin, made out of fragments of the older and always lying above them. In the original classification of Lehmann, Secondary included all the stratified rocks, as we now consider them, and in the classifications following Lehmann for some years the term Secondary was applied, though in a restricted sense. Cuvier and Brongniart proposed the name Tertiary for the rocks classified as Secondary by Lehmann, but lying above what is now known as the Cretaceous system; and Quaternary was introduced by Morlot in 1854 for the rocks of superficial position and of glacial or fluviatile origin. Thus the nomenclature of Lehmann, which was proposed originally to indicate the derivation of the Secondary from the Primitive, was expanded on the basis of stratigraphic succession, and we observe the anomaly of a retention of two names (Tertiary and Quaternary), formed on the principle of Lehmann's terms, but his own terms, as well as his theory as a basis of classification, entirely discarded. {{nop}}<noinclude>{{smallrefs}}</noinclude> 62fc1kzywfe4zordolu5uvop8lmi2kq Page:The Complete Short Stories of Guy de Maupassant.djvu/800 104 4848128 15134277 2025-06-14T18:52:04Z Alautar98 3088622 /* Not proofread */ Created page with "a word, would continue eating with the aid of his right hand, while stretching out his left to protect and defend his plate.

After th's, they got tired even of these practical jokes; and the brother-in-law, mad at having to support him always, struck him, cuffed him incessantly, laughing at the useless efforts of the other to ward off or return the blows. Then came a new pleasure — the pleasure of smacking his face. And the plow- men, the servant-girls, and even every passing vagabond were every moment giving him cuffs, which caused his eye- lashes to twitch spasmodically. He did not know where to hide himself and re- mained with his arms always held out to guard against people coming too close to him. At last he was forced to beg. He was placed somewhere on the high- road on market-days, and, as soon as he heard the sound of footsteps or the roll- ing of a vehicle, he reached out his hat, stammering: "Charity, if you please!" But the peasant is not lavish, and, for whole weeks, he did not bring back a sou. Then he became the victim of furious, pitiless hatred. And this is how he died. One winter, the ground was covered with snow, and it froze horribly. Now his brother-in-law led him one morning at this season a great distance along the highroad in order that he might solicit alms. The blind man was left there all day, and, when night came on, the !)rother-in-law told the DeoDle of his house that he could find no trace of the mendicant. Then he added: "Pooh! best not bother about him! He was cold, and got some one to take him away. Never fear! he's not lost. He'll turn up soon enough to-morrow to eat the soup." Next day he did not come bat-R. After long hours of waiting, stiffened with the cold, feeling that he was dying, the blind man began to walk. Being unable to find his way along the road, owing to its thick coating of ice, he went on at random, falling into dikes, getting up again, without uttering a sound, his sole object being to find some house where he could take shelter. But by degrees the descending snow made a numbness steal over him, and his feeble limbs being incapable of tarrying him farther, he had to sit down in the middle of an open field. He did not get up again. The white flakes which kept continu- ally falling buried him, so that his body, quite stiff and stark, disappeared under the incessant accumulation of their rapidly thickening mass; and nothing any longer indicated the place where the corpse was lying. His relatives made pretense of in- quiring about him and searching for him for about a week. They even made a show of weeping. The winter was severe, and the thaw did not set in quickly. Now, one Sun- day, on their way to mass, the farmers noticed a great flight of crows, who were whirling endlessly above the open field, and then, liKe a shower of black rain, descended in a heap at the same spot, ever going and coming. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> a9ccicbks6yvb7njndb6whqyly8v0zx Page:The Complete Short Stories of Guy de Maupassant.djvu/801 104 4848129 15134279 2025-06-14T18:53:25Z Alautar98 3088622 /* Not proofread */ Created page with "The following week these gloomy birds ivere still there.

My Dear Aunt, — I am going to pay you a visit without making much fuss about it. I shall be at Les Fresnes on the second of September, the day before the hunting season opens ; I do not want to miss it, so that I may tease these gentlemen. You are very obli^i'inc, Aunt, and I would like you to allow them to dine with you, as you usually do when there are no strange guests, >vithout dressing or shaving for the occa- sion, on the ground that they are fatigued. They are delighted, of course, when I am not present. But I shall be there, and I shall hold a review, like a general, at the dinner-hour; and, if I find a single one of them at all careless in dress, no matter how little, I mean to send him down to the kitchen to the servant-maids. The men of to-day have so little con- sideration for others and so little good manners that one must be always severe wifh them. We live indeed in an age of vulgarity. When they quarrel with one another, /hey attache one another with insults worthy of street porters, and, in our presence, they do not con- duct themselves even as well as our servants. It is at the seaside that you see this most clearly They are to be found there in battalion, and you can judge them in the lump. Oh, what coarse beings they are! Just imagine, in a train, one of them, a gentleman who looked well as I thought, at first sight, thanks to his tailor, w?,s dainty enough to take off his boots in order to put on a pair of old shoes! Another, an old man, who was probably some wealthy upstart (these are the most ill-bred), while sitting op- posite to me, had the delicacy to place hi5 two feet on the seat quite close to me. This is a positive fact. At the watering-places, tnere is an un- restrained outpouring of unmannerliness.

Watch them address- ing ladies on the terrace: they scarcely ever bow. They merely raise their hands to their headgear. But indeed, as they are all more or less bald, it is the best plan. But what exasperates and disgusts me especially is the liberty they take of talking publicly, without any precaution whatsoever, about the most revolting adventures. When two men are together, they relate to each other, in the broadest language and with the most abominable comments, really horrible stories, with- out caring in the shghtest degree whether a woman's ear is within reach of their voices. Yesterday, on the beach, I was forced to go away from the place where I sat in order not to be any longer the involuntary confidant of an obscene anecdote, told in such immodest language that I felt as much humiliated as I was indignant at having heard it. Would not the most elementary good- breeding have taught them to speak in a lower tone about such matters when we are near at hand? Etretat is, moreover, the country of gossip and scandal. From five to seven o'clock you can see people wandering about in quest of nasty stories about others, which they retail from group to group. As you remarked to me, my dear Aunt, tittle- tattle is the mark of petty individuals and petty minds. It is also the consola- tion of women who are no longer loved or sought after. It is enough for me to observe the women who are fondest of gossiping to be persuaded that yoa are quite right. The other day I was present at a musical evening at the Casino, given by a remarkable artist, Madame Masson, who sings in a truly delightful manner. I took the opportunity of applauding the admirable Coquelin, as well as two charming boarders of the Vaudeville, M and Meillet. I was able, on the occasion, to see all the bathers collected together this year on the beach. There were not many persons of distinction among them. One day I went to lunch at Yport. I noticed a tall man with a beard who was coming out of a large house like a castle It was the painter, Jean Paul Laurens He is not satisfied apparently with im- prisoning the subjects of his pictures; he insists on imprisoning himself. Then I found myself seated on the shingle close to a man still young, of gentle and refined appearance, who was reading some verses. But he read them W'.th such concentration, with such pas- sion, I may say, that he did not even raise his eyes toward me. I was some- what astonished, and I asked the con- ductor of the baths, without appearing to be much concerned, the name of this gentleman. I laughed inwardly a little at this reader of rhymes : he seemed be- hind the age, for a man. This person, I thought, must be a simpleton. Vveil, Aunt, I am now infatuated about this stranger.

P.S. — I should add, however, by way of justification of French politeness, that our fellow-countrymen are, when trav- eling, models of good manners in com- parison with the abominable English, who seem to have been brought up by stable- boys, so much do they take care not to incommode themselves in any way, while they always incommode their neighbors. Madame de L. to Madame de X. Les Fresnes, Saturday. My Dear Child, — Many of the things you have said to me are very reasonable, but that does not prevent you from being wrong. Like you, I used formerly to feel very indignant at the impoliteness of men, who, as I sup- posed, constantly treated me with neg- lect; but as I grew older and reflected on everything, putting aside coquetry and observing things without taking any part in them myself, I perceived this much — that if men are not always po- lite, women are always indescribably rude. We imagine that we should be per- mitted to do anything, my darling, and at the same time we consider that we have a right to the utmost respect, and in the most flagrant manner we commit actions devoid of that elementary good- breeding of which you speak with passion. I find, on the contrary, that men have, for us, much consideration, as compared with our bearing toward them. Besides, darling, men must needs be, and are, what we make them. In a state of society where women are all true gentle- women all men would become gentlemen. Mark my words; just observe and reflect. Look at two women meeting in the street. What an attitude each assumes toward the other! What disparaging looks! What contempt they throw into each glance! How they toss their heads while they inspect each other to find something to condemn! And, if the footpath is narrow, do you think one woman will make room for another, or will beg pardon as she sweeps by? When two men jostle each other by acci- dent in some narrow lane, each of them bows and at the same time gets out of the other's way, while we women press against each other, stomach to stomach, face to face, insolently staring each other out of countenance. Look at two women who are acquain- tances meeting on a staircase before the drawing-room door of a friend of theirs to whom one has just paid a visit, and to whom the other is about to pay a visit. They begin to talk to each other.<noinclude></noinclude> 6zwlqu04utlwnuo0jgjyskp3t435kf2 Page:The Complete Short Stories of Guy de Maupassant.djvu/804 104 4848133 15134285 2025-06-14T18:57:05Z Alautar98 3088622 /* Not proofread */ Created page with "and block up the passage.

Behind me two gentlemen were also waiting with- out showing any readiness to lose their temper, like me. The reason was that they had long grown accustomed to our unconscionable insolence. The other day, before leaving Paiis, I went to dine with no less a person than your husband in the Champs- Elysees, in order to enjoy the open air. Every table was occupied. The waiter asked us not to go, and there would soon be a vacant table. At that moment, I noticed an elderly lady of noble figure, who, having paid the amount of her check, seemed on the point of going away. She saw me, scanned me from head to foot, and did not budge. For more than a full quar- ter of an hour she sat there, immovable, putting on her gloves, and calmly staring at those who were waiting like myself. Now, two young men who were just finishing their dinner, having seen me in their turn, quickly summoned the waiter in order to pay whatever they owed, and at once offered me their seats, even in- sisting on standing while waiting for their change. And, bear in mind, my fair niece, that I am no longer pretty, like you, but old and white-haired. It is we (do you see?) who should be taught politeness ; and the task would be such a difficult one that Hercules him- self would not be equal to it. You speak to me about Etretat. and about the people who indulge in "tittle-tattle*' along the beach of that delightful water- ing-place. It is a spot now lost to me, a thing of the past, but I found much amusement there in days gone by. There were only a few of us, people in good society, really good society, and a few artists, and we all fraternized. We paid little attention to gossip in those days. Well, as we had no insipid Casino, where people only gather for show, where they talk in whispers, where they dance stupidly, where they succeed in thoroughly boring one another, we sought some other way of passing our evenings pleasantly. Now, just guess what came into the head of one of our husbandry? Nothing else than to go and dance each night in one of the farmhouses in the neighborhood We started out in a group with a street-organ, generally played by Le Poittevin, the painter, with a cotton nightcap on his head. Two men carried lanterns. We followed in procession, laughing and chattering like a pack oi fools. We woke up the farmer and his ser> vant-maids and laboring men. We got them to make onion-soup (horror), and we danced under the apple-trees, to the sound of the barrel-organ. The cocks waking up began to crow in the darkness of the outhouses ; the horses began pran- cing on the straw of their stables. The cool air of the country caressed our cheeks with the smell of grass and of new-mown hay. How long ago it is! How long ago it is. It is thirty years since then !

Differs from all the allied species by the clear pale ochreous ground-colour; the white markings (except the central streak) are more suffused, the cilia clear white, and the hindwings paler, being quite white in female. In this and the allied species the central streak appears dark-margined in part, but the effect is illusory, and due to the presence of deep folds. Very common round Christchurch in November, December, February and March, seemingly attached to the tussock-grass. {{c|9. ''Cr. siriellus'', n. sp.}} ''Female''.—26–80 mm.

In considering Dickens as an artist, I propose first of all to deal with the construction of his stories. Let it be understood that in the present chapters I discuss his novels solely from this point of view, postponing consideration of those features of the master's work which are his strength and his glory. However ill-constructed, ''Pickwick'', I imagine, was never found uninteresting. One may discourse about it in good set terms, pointing out that it belongs to a very old school of narrative, and indicating resemblances with no less a work than ''[[Don Quixote]]'',—Mr. Pickwick and Sam Weller being in some degree the antitypes of the Knight of La Mancha and Sancho. Intrigue there is none (save in the offices of Messrs. Dodson and Fogg). The thing is aimed at the reader's diaphragm, and, by ricochet, touches his heart. Lord Campbell declared that he would rather have written ''Pickwick'' than be Chief Justice of England; yet here we have simply the rambles and accidents and undignified escapades of certain Londoners, one of them accompanied by a manservant, whom he picked up as boots at an inn; we have a typical London landlady, a breach-of-promise case, and a debtors' prison.

A distinct species, immediately known by the dark brown ground-colour, and narrow silvery-white costal streak extending from base to apex. It is perhaps this species which Butler speaks of (Proc.

As in the ''Sketches'' we found the germ of all Dickens, so in this second book, not yet a novel, may we mark tendencies soon to have full development. The theme itself admitting no great variety of tone, we have the time-honoured device of episodic stories; one of them shows that melodramatic bent which was to be of such importance in future books; another, the tale of Gabriel Grub, gives, thus early, a hint of the Christmas fantasies which so greatly strengthened their author's hold on the popular admiration and love. The close gives us our first example of Dickens's resolute optimism. Everybody (or all but everybody) is to be made happy for ever after; knavish hearts are softened by gratitude, and those of the good beat high in satisfied benevolence. This is the kind of thing that delights the public, and lucky would be the public if it were often offered to them with a noble sincerity like that of Dickens. With ''Oliver Twist'' we take up the tradition of English novel-writing; at once we are reminded of the old books in the library at Rochester. Scenes and people and tone are new, but the manner is that long ago established.

Moreover, the whole emphasis, embodied in the clause empowering Congress to "provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrection, and repel invasions" was on the use of the militia, not a "standing army" in such cases. And the militia clause, though subject to attack on the grounds that it granted too great federal control over the militia, was objectionable to the centralists because it did not give that power clearly or unequivocally. Almost all the powers over domestic affairs granted to the federal government by the new Constitution were vested in the Congress, not the president, but the latter was to be commander in chief of the Army and Navy and of the militia when called into federal service to handle domestic disturbances as well as foreign wars. He was to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed."<ref name="ref28"/> Coupled with the provision as it finally evolved—that the Constitution, the laws made under it, and the treaties duly ratified should be "the supreme Law of the Land"—there were implied powers here the extent of which only future practice and interpretation could determine.<ref name="ref29"/> That no power to use regular forces in domestic disorders was explicitly granted to either the president or Congress was testimony to the fear of standing armies that pervaded the meeting. Very near the end of the convention on 14 September 1787, George Mason, being sensible that an absolute prohibition of standing armies in time of peace might be unsafe, and wishing at the same time to insert something pointing out and guarding against the dangers of them, moved to preface the clause Article I, Section 8 "To provide for organizing, arming and disciplining the Militia & c" with the words "And that the liberties of the people may be better secured against the danger of standing armies in time of peace."<ref name="ref30"/> He got important support from Randolph and Madison from his own Virginia delegation, but Gouverneur Morris of Pennsylvania insisted that it would be "setting a dishonorable mark of distinction on the military class of Citizens," and the motion was voted down eight states to two.<ref name="ref31"/> The fact that this proposal was made illustrated how dangerous to the ratification of the Constitution it might have been if the framers had even suggested that standing armies {{Reflist|refs= <ref name="ref28">Article II, Section 3.</ref> <ref name="ref29">Article VI.</ref> <ref name="ref30">Farrand, ''Records'', 2:616.</ref> <ref name="ref31">Ibid., pp. 616-17.</ref> }}<noinclude></noinclude> msk18jwz51c2i21zj1zb011wyaiynij Charles Dickens (Gissing, 1898)/Chapter 3 0 4848140 15134303 2025-06-14T19:08:52Z Chrisguise 2855804 Created page with "{{header | title = [[../|Charles Dickens]] | author = George Gissing | translator = | section = Chapter III | previous = [[../Chapter 2|Chapter II.]] | next = [[../Chapter 4|Chapter IV.]] | notes = }} <pages index="Charles Dickens (a Critical Study) by George Gissing, 1898.djvu" include=59-87 />" 15134303 wikitext text/x-wiki {{header | title = [[../|Charles Dickens]] | author = George Gissing | translator = | section = Chapter III | previous = [[../Chapter 2|Chapter II.]] | next = [[../Chapter 4|Chapter IV.]] | notes = }} <pages index="Charles Dickens (a Critical Study) by George Gissing, 1898.djvu" include=59-87 /> h80pi9edwi4vdmj9cm62lqbhg5gshf1 Page:Transactions NZ Institute Volume 15.djvu/53 104 4848141 15134304 2025-06-14T19:10:24Z Beeswaxcandle 80078 /* Proofread */ 15134304 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Beeswaxcandle" /></noinclude>{{c|11.

It most approaches ''C. dicrenellus'' and ''C. flexuosellus'', differing further from the former in the white costal suffusion not extending towards base, and from the latter in the central position of the white streak, and the paler costal area. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 5knj9kmdw4pn772yt2j9t40crushqu1 Page:Transactions NZ Institute Volume 15.djvu/54 104 4848142 15134311 2025-06-14T19:15:42Z Beeswaxcandle 80078 /* Proofread */ 15134311 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Beeswaxcandle" /></noinclude>Occurs at Hamilton, Cambridge, Christchurch, Ashburton, and at the foot of Mount Hutt, from January to March, generally in abundance; it is probably universally distributed.

He was the great teacher of geology at Freiburg, Germany, in 1815, and left his impress upon the geologists of the time, though he wrote little in the way of systematic exposition of his theories of classification. He adopted Lehmann's ''{{lang|de|Primitiv Gebirge}}'', but of the Secondary rocks he made a lower class, which he called transition rocks (''{{lang|de|Uebergangsgebirge}}''), which were stratified, contained none or but few fossils, and were more or less oblique in position; these characteristics were observed in northern Europe, where he studied them. The remainder of the original Secondary rocks, he called ''{{lang|de|Floetzgebirge}}'', or flat-lying formations, and these were the equivalents of Lehmann's Secondary in the classification of the early part of the century. Late, the Wernerian school called the formations above the Cretaceous ''{{lang|de|neues Floetzgebirge}}'', to which, as they were studied in the Paris basin, Cuvier and Brongniart, in the latter decade of the last century, applied the name ''Tertiary'', which still remains in the scheme. Werner called the looser, overlying, unconsolidated rocks ''{{lang|de|angeschwempt Gebirge}}'', or alluvial formations, which were afterwards, as above stated, called Quaternary by Morlot. The classification of Lehmann, as perfected by Werner, was then as follows: {{columns|style=white-space:nowrap;margin:0 auto |col1=''German names.'' {{lang block|de| {{ol|list_style_type=upper-roman|style=margin-left:-3.2em|item_style=margin-bottom:0 |Angeschwempt gebirge, |''b.''

Volcanic rocks were looked upon as local formations, and of small account in general classification. But they came to be more deeply studied by Werner, and his notion that trap was of aqueous origin led to much controversy, and gave chief prominence to his views (the Neptunian theory) and to that classification of rocks which will be next considered.<noinclude></noinclude> n7bfbss2ybou2mvsvt5las8pvvm6krx Page:Transactions NZ Institute Volume 15.djvu/55 104 4848144 15134320 2025-06-14T19:19:23Z Beeswaxcandle 80078 /* Proofread */ 15134320 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Beeswaxcandle" /></noinclude>Antennæ fuscous-grey.

There has always been a remnant of rocks at the base of the scale, the consideration of which may be discarded here, because it is known chronologically only as below those rocks of which distinct evidence of their relative age is apparent. The name Primitive has been changed to Primary, and finally to Archæan, a name which was proposed by Dana, and is likely to be retained for some of the basal part of the series. This first comprehensive classification of rocks may be called the Lehmann classification. It was based upon a structural analysis of the rocks in the order of their actual positions. The nomenclature is applied on the theory of relative order of formation. Richard Kirwan (Geological Essays, London, 1799), claimed to be the first author to publish a general treatise on Geology in the English language. Although the book is written in a decidedly controversial spirit, the author appears to have had a thorough acquaintance with the various treatises in French, German, Latin and English, in which were expressed contemporaneous opinions regarding geological science. He was a Fellow of the Royal Societies of London and Edinburgh, member of the Royal Irish Academy, and of Academies in Stockholm, Upsala, Berin, Manchester and Philadelphia, and Inspector General of his majesty's mines in the Kingdom of Ireland. It is probable, therefore, that he presents a fair idea of the opinions which underlay the Lehmann classification. According to Kirwan's book the rocks were originally in a soft or liquid state, the center of the earth was supposed to be hollow, or the whole earth was a solid exterior crust with immense empty caverns within. The materials of the earth were then in a state of fusion or solution, and by condensation, as time progressed, the solids were crystallized out and deposited from the chaotic fluid. The water contracted the surface and lowered upon it by sinking into the interior cavities.

Mountains were conceived of as the local points of original crystallization which drew to them, in the process, the minerals from the general fluid. As the waters gradually withdrew by evaporation and sinking into the interior caverns, they became clarified and capable of supporting organic life. Kirwan says (p. 26): "The level of the ancient ocean being lowered to the height of {{nowrap|8,500}} or {{nowrap|9,000}} feet, then and not before, it began to be peopled with fish." (Under the name fish he included shell-fish, and all other petrifactions). The plains were formed of depositions from the water of argillaceous, siliceous and ferruginous particles, mingled with those derived by erosion from the already protruding mountains. All the rocks above the height mentioned, he observed, quoting from testimony of numerous travelers, are lacking in fossils; even the limestones are crystalline or "primative"{{sic|Given it's put in quotes, it seems the 'a' is intentional rather than a typo for 'i'.}} limestones and marbles. These observations were cited in refutation of Buffon's "error" in claiming that all limestones were derived from comminuted shells. According to some authorities, primitive mountains should include rocks of even less height than {{nowrap|8,000}} feet, and the occasional presence of fossils at a greater elevation was by them accounted for by their transference to that elevation by the deluge. This account of Kirwan's will suggest the way in which the rock formation came at to be first called "''{{lang|de|gebirge}}''," or mountains. Rocks were supposed to lie as they were originally formed, and thus in classifying rocks the larger aggregates were naturally mountain masses. As the conception of movements in the earth's crust with folding and displacement come into the science, the idea of classification and grouping of rocks was retained, but that their grouping was based upon present massing above the surface as mountains ceased to be accepted as truth. In the German language the term "''{{lang|de|Gebirge}}''" was retained, and apparently with restricted meaning. Kirwan apparently translated the term directly into English as mountains. ''Formation'' however took the place of ''mountain'', as applied to rock classification, in the early part of the century. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> gqd0jpkt676s41i8kig48qgq76evfaq Index:Welfare Reform (Further Provision) (Scotland) Act 2012 (ASP 2012-10 qp).pdf 106 4848155 15134366 2025-06-14T19:42:19Z Penguin1737 3062038 Added ASP 2012-10 15134366 proofread-index text/x-wiki {{:MediaWiki:Proofreadpage_index_template |Type=book |Title=[[Welfare Reform (Further Provision) (Scotland) Act 2012]] |Language=en |Volume= |Author=[[Scottish Parliament]] |Translator= |Editor= |Illustrator= |School= |Publisher=The Stationery Office |Address= |Year=2012 |Key= |ISBN= |OCLC= |LCCN= |BNF_ARK= |ARC= |DOI= |Source=pdf |Image=1 |Progress=C |Transclusion=no |Validation_date= |Pages=<pagelist 1=Title 2=- 3=1 6to7=- 8=Cover /> |Volumes= |Remarks= |Width= |Header= |Footer= |tmplver= }} [[Category:WikiProject UK Law]] 6wzc8qfh2k8mxf2ytsd0vjbnr7ymn9y Talk:Kama Sutra (Burton) 1 4848156 15134368 2025-06-14T19:43:43Z Beardo 950405 /* Pages not transcluded */ new section 15134368 wikitext text/x-wiki == Pages not transcluded == There are several pages not transcluded - in particular the images which appear before the chapters.

One glance through the window identified the intruder, but altho a bright spark gleamed in her old brown eyes, she said nothing. Lurline walked out and reached the scene of Gerald’s accident just in time to catch the twelfth installment of the biography of that coupe. As far as she could tell, not one of the adjectives used was flattering. “Oh, you cut yourself!” she said as soon as she saw him. And in a moment her dainty linen handkerchief was twisted around Benda’s thumb. “Gosh, I’ll bet you’ve got me down for no end of a sap,” he grumbled, when Lurline finished. With a gruff “Thanks” he was in his car, stepping on the starter. “Gerald Benda,” said the girl, “you’re not going to run that tire like that, are you?” It was—well, it was another proof that he was probably embarrassed. Again he was at work on the tire; but it was hard, for he was always conscious of the slender girl beside him, watching his bungling fingers. Funny, he had never noticed her before so much{{...|4}} different from Lollie Burlik and her group{{...}} talked as though she were not just dying to be tied to your apron strings{{...}} not nearly so heavily veneered with pretence{{...}} And a gray head turned away from the window in the cottage. A smile lit a pair of old brown eyes, and Susan Marko’s lips opened in a laugh. During the weeks that followed Gerald had called a number of times, for he liked Lurline and found Susan Marko quite congenial. Then once he took Lurline to meet his own aunt. Lurline remembered with a score of shudders being ushered into the presence of the factory queen—the Hottentot. In a soulless, extravagant sitting-room stood a woman whose height approached six feet. She had a clear-cut, determined face, molded on handsome lines. She wore something tailored and dark, and her abundant jet hair was done up neatly on her head. She was not old—perhaps not over thirty-five. When Lurline came in, she felt as if she had stepped into the house of the seven gables. She shrank from the chilly survey of two steel gray eyes, while in her heart she felt that this woman will hardly be her friend. “So this is Miss Marko of whom you have talked so much, Gerald?” Mrs. Kolbasa said in her reinforced voice, “I’m so glad to know you. And this is my husband—Steve.” In this wasted man of fifty, Lurline saw a fellow being. She squeezed his hand with a force that surprised him. But she was jerked from a brief vision of herself as this man’s friend to face the cold fact of another’s existence. “I’m sorry, but I have promised Lollie Burlik I’d be over. Gerald will take me.” It was the Hottentot speaking. Lurline stood near Mr. Steve Kolbasa, and watched with amaze-<noinclude></noinclude> eoqae62nvfq8kq13pl99tbb96jhpkvg Index:Freedom of Information (Amendment) (Scotland) Act 2013 (ASP 2013-2 qp).pdf 106 4848160 15134390 2025-06-14T19:54:07Z Penguin1737 3062038 Added ASP 2013-2 15134390 proofread-index text/x-wiki {{:MediaWiki:Proofreadpage_index_template |Type=book |Title=[[Freedom of Information (Amendment) (Scotland) Act 2013]] |Language=en |Volume= |Author=[[Scottish Parliament]] |Translator= |Editor= |Illustrator= |School= |Publisher=The Stationery Office |Address= |Year=2013 |Key= |ISBN= |OCLC= |LCCN= |BNF_ARK= |ARC= |DOI= |Source=pdf |Image=1 |Progress=C |Transclusion=no |Validation_date= |Pages=<pagelist 1=Title 2=- 3=1 3to3=roman 4=- 5=1 /> |Volumes= |Remarks= |Width= |Header= |Footer= |tmplver= }} [[Category:WikiProject UK Law]] 3ncomswsxo9qjl94wzldqbgyw6sxutl Page:Czecho-Slovak Student Life, Volume 18.djvu/15 104 4848161 15134397 2025-06-14T19:57:14Z Jan.Kamenicek 17858 /* Proofread */ 15134397 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Jan.Kamenicek" />{{rvh|9|{{lsp|0.25em|STUDENT LIF|E}}}}</noinclude>ment the pageant before her. A maid, clad in uncomfortable black, brought the regent a fur-trimmed coat, and helped her put it on. Then she handed her mistress a black hat which was oddly trimmed with a massive black plume, pointing forward. “The unicorn,” thought Lurline, It completed Mrs. Kolbasa’s formidable uniform. There was a tenseness in the atmosphere. Neither Steve nor the girl beside him dared to move. And as the latter shot a glance toward the doorway, she perceived Gerald, motionless, his eyes fixed on the floor. With an effort Lurline found her voice. “Gerald, you’re not going to—Lollie’s are you?” A shadow passed between her and the door, and the Hottentot spoke as she went out. “Tell Mr. Bruce of Swanhill that I ordered that maple from another firm, Steve.” And Gerald went out after the voice. Lurline’s eyes were blinded with tears of humiliation. Her firm little chin quivered, and her lower lip sought refuge within the grip of her even teeth. She felt Steve’s arm around her, and turned to “cry it out” on his shoulder. “That’s nothing, baby, she’s always like that,” he said. “Always?” He smiled. No one had ever been sincerely complimentary to his capable, eccentric wife. He was used to it. “Yes, since I married her. But once she was a little girl—a girl like you, only always more practical. I’ve even seen her cry once.” “Oh—When?” “It happened once when Gertie—we called her Gertie then—had her heart set on seeing her aunt in Minnesota. You see, Gertie lived in Illinois before we were married. The aunt had been a trained nurse in her younger days, and she had taken care of Gertie when she had the smallpox.” “Oh—Did she ever have the smallpox?” asked Lurline, as if she doubted Mrs. Kolbasa’s capacity for any human disease. “She nearly died. Aunt Sue pulled her through, and they became friends. But aunt Sue was taboo for Gertie. You see she was mother-in-law’s only sister, and she had married a man that mother-in-law had taken a fancy to. So Gertie’s mother made it hot for Sue until she left. Sue had one son, hardly a month old, when her husband died. Years later, when Sue’s son married, Sue turned back to the profession of nursing. She took care of cases in the pesthouse when Gertie took sick and was taken there, Those were the days when Gertie’s pennies were few and far between. Sue and she made friends, though there was a difference of twenty-five years or so between them, and Sue invited Gertie to visit at her home. Gertie got well, and returned to her mother.

When I came from work that night, I found her there. Dad said he didn’t know what to do with her. Well, I always did like her, so I went over to her and took her in my arms. Her grey eyes were hard as bayonet-points. But when I kissed her, she kind of choked and began to cry. {{...|3|—}} Four years later I married her.” Lurline was thrilled with the strange romance. “And Aunt Sue?” she questioned. “Gertie heard she had moved a few times, and that her son and his wife died of some popular epidemie. I suppose she followed them.” “Oh.” After some time Lurline arose to go and accepted Steve’s offer to escort her home. “Only I wish—Gerald wouldn’t mind her so,” pouted Lurline. “My dear little girl, there is something good in the worst of us, and Gerald has a way of seeing it, once he knows a person.” “But there’s nothing good in the Hottentot!” It was too late to call that back, But Steve’s good humor was unruffled. Perhaps in his heart, he, too, had often called his wife by some similar name. “Plenty of good—only it’s choked out. If Gertie had a husband that she would have to go after, she’d be all right. It’s me that has always done the going after in our family.” They turned the last corner. Presently a snug coupe drew up beside them, and Gerald Benda jumped out. “For heaven’s sake, where’s Auntie?” he hurled the question at the pedestrians. “Gertie? I thought she went to Lollie Burlik’s,” said Steve. “No{{...|4}} we had an awful spat over Lollie, and I said I wouldn’t go there. So she ordered me to drop her off at this corner and call here in half an hour {{...|3|—}} she’d be waiting. Well, she isn’t.” Lurline’s heart beat faster. Gerald had an awful spat over Lollie, said he wouldn’t go there. And it was known that she was his “girl” when they were seniors. “Something’s wrong, Steve,” Gerald addressed his uncle, “Auntie’s never piked a date yet. Let’s see at Burlik’s.” When they stopped in front of Lollie’s house, they saw that the garage was empty. Lollie was out. Of course, the only thing left to do was to take Lurline home across the street. This was done, and as the car stopped, Gerald alighted to go with Lurline to the house. Steve sat in the car, dreaming{{...|6}} “Lurline{{...}}” began Gerald, as they paused on the walk. “Yes, Gerald.” “Then it’s really and truly ‘Yes’?” “Oh, Gerald!” There was a note of distress in her voice, which Gerald caught. “Aw, you’ll like Auntie after a while. She’s never had a chance to understand kids like us. She had a hard mother.” They were at the door. Lurline twisted it open silently and they entered the cozily carpeted hall.<noinclude></noinclude> 1mfcez3p10v78kuxsrvmtsf14ozuuak Page:The Works of Ben Jonson - Gifford - Volume 4.djvu/187 104 4848169 15134431 2025-06-14T20:25:28Z Chrisguise 2855804 /* Proofread */ 15134431 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Chrisguise" />{{rvh|183|THE ALCHEMIST.}}</noinclude>{{ppoem|start=follow|end=follow|{{em}}''Love''.{{em}}Good gentlemen, hear me.

Only Aunt Sue had never been hard. She was sincere, sympathetic, and understanding—a nature far too great to admit of snobbishness or indifference. Then “Sh!” she whispered, “Aunt Sue has company. I’ll bet it’s Mrs. Heinl from next door. I’ll surprise ’em. They’re in the kitchen, having tea as usual. Come close behind me, Gerald.” They tiptoed swiftly to the kitchen door and looked in. And there, in Sue’s unspotted kitchen, murmuring softly over their cups of tea, sat Aunt Sue and—the Hottentot! There she was, unicorn and all; and what was more, the Hottentot looked as if she had been crying. And not until Lurline gasped her customary “Oh!” did either of the two women glance up. When they did, the Hottentot looked what Gerald described later as “all fussed”. “Oh, it’s you!” said Sue, seeing the two wondersticken faces in the doorway. “I—I thought it was Mrs. Heinl—” began Lurline. “Well, it isn’t; it’s my niece, Gertie,” chuckled Sue, as she arose. But the Hottentot had already advanced toward them. She grasped each by the hand, and said, “I wish you happiness” {{...}} that was all. The steel reinforcements were gone from her voice. Another tear trickled down her well-molded cheek. Then she turned away, and sat down. Aunt Sue spoke next. “Probably you children don’t know she is my only niece,” said she. But Lurline knew. And for her Sue’s tale was merely a repetition of known facts. When Sue had finished, the Hottentot rose to go. “You’re not going, are you, Cousin?” stammered Lurline. “Yes, dear, for I don’t know how Steve fared with Mr. Bruce,” again it was the softer voice. “Oh, Auntie—Steve’s out in my car. I forgot.” And the Hottentot laughed such a merry laugh that the rest had to join in. “And Auntie Sue,” she called from the door, “I’ll send the car for Gerald at seven, but I don’t care when he comes in. And some day after the wedding I’ll come and pay you that longed-for visit.” Gerald’s coupe served another master that day. When the Markos and Gerald were at supper, Susan was asked how she ever got “that” across to the Hottentot. “I knew all my life I was her aunt, only her mother forbade me to ever own up to that. When Gertie came here today, all I did was to say, ‘Hello, Gertie, how’s my little patient’?” And when Susan Marko went to answer a telephone call from “some pesky agent or other” a minute later, Gerald said: “Well, Lurline, all we’ve got to do is get engaged.” And it was over half an hour before our wise old Sue decided to re-enter the dining room. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> s7zgg5opaa7nlusqrg3d3te14kgbzmt Page:He who gets Slapped (1949).djvu/92 104 4848175 15134449 2025-06-14T20:33:57Z 82.167.147.5 /* Not proofread */ Created page with "life, but this {{...}} Oh, she is crazy.

In short, justice was done all round according to Chinese lights, the wrongs of the foreigners being redressed, but the law-breaking agents of their remonstrances punished with mediæval severity. As for the foreign community at Canton, however, its simple verdict was that "the Mandarins were absolute villains." In the margin of these salient incidents there was a tolerably copious catalogue of common assaults and deadly affrays, sometimes foreigners alone being concerned, but more frequently foreigners and Chinese. It was of course impossible for the local authorities to subject an alien to any intelligent form of trial. When the supposed perpetrator of a deed of blood was handed over to them by his own nationals,—and to the eternal shame of the Portuguese, the Americans, and the English such surrenders did actually take place,—they usually strangled him at once. The certainty that he would otherwise escape altogether tended doubtless to sharpen their animosity, but it is also reasonable to suppose that the very fact of his surrender amounted in their eyes to a verdict of guilty. On the other hand, inflamed by the injustices thus perpetrated, rendered desperate by a sense of helplessness to exact<noinclude>{{c|205}}</noinclude> g1bmzrkk6dahrnju37y8ng2rcvltwp2 Page:Brinkley - China - Volume 2.djvu/234 104 4848188 15134483 2025-06-14T21:00:37Z MarkLSteadman 559943 /* Proofread */ 15134483 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="MarkLSteadman" />{{c|{{sp|CHINA}}}}</noinclude>redress, and chafing under the pecuniary extortions of which they were themselves the victims, the foreigners were driven to "acts of atrocious violence, coming strictly under the definition of piracy, murder, or arson, which, under a more vigorous government, would have rendered them the property of the public executioner." To this category belong the exploits of a certain Captain McClary, who (1781) captured a sloop and carried her to Macao on suspicion that she was Spanish. The Portuguese, who never failed to rise to the level of a lucrative occasion, imprisoned McClary, compelled him to give an order for the sloop's release, and then, as she suffered shipwreck before the order could be executed, so ill-treated him during two months of incarceration, and so terrified him with threats of handing him over to the Chinese, that he agreed to pay $70,000 for his freedom. Restored to his ship, and finding himself anchored beside a Dutch vessel in the river below Canton, he promptly seized her on receipt of news that war had been declared between England and Holland. The Chinese Authorities remonstrated and sought the assistance of the East India Company's Council. But the latter declared that their power did not extend beyond protest, though McClary was in their service. An extraordinary compromise ultimately ended the trouble. The Chinese were suffered to simulate the re-capture of the prize by boarding her with shouts and demon-<noinclude>{{c|206}}</noinclude> ski92rfl7zyjpiac35lqidjd5injw1x Page:The Works of Ben Jonson - Gifford - Volume 4.djvu/191 104 4848189 15134484 2025-06-14T21:01:20Z Chrisguise 2855804 /* Proofread */ 15134484 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Chrisguise" />{{rvh|187|THE ALCHEMIST.}}</noinclude>{{ppoem|start=follow|end=stanza|Thou profane man!

Such were the happenings that furnished to the two peoples material for mutual appreciation. The British Government now began to think that the time had come to introduce some element of order into its relations with China, instead of leaving everything in the hands of a company whose powers were limited to remonstrance and deportation. In 1792 the Earl of Macartney, with a numerous suite and a costly array of presents, was sent as ambassador to the Chinese Court. From the Government of the Middle Kingdom he received a brilliant welcome. They spent $850,000 on his entertainment; he walked in "the magnificent garden of the Son of Heaven," made a romantic voyage down the Grand Canal, and carried away a vivid impression of the grandeur and extent of the Chinese Empire. But he did no business. The Chinese took clever care that his embassy should retain the unimpaired attributes of tribute-bearing. Any discussion of affairs would have been inconsistent with that character; therefore the whole time was devoted to interchanges of courtesy. But the Earl received a letter for his sovereign in which the latter was informed by the now aged Emperor Chienlung that British commerce must be strictly limited to Canton. "You will not be able to complain that I have not clearly forewarned you.

One of the principal objects of the mission had been to obtain permission for carrying on trade at Ningpo, Chusan, Tientsin, and other places besides Canton. In that respect it failed signally. Chienlung doubtless thought that he possessed the right of discrimination within his own dominions. The Dutch had excluded his subjects from their East-Indian colonies, and the Spaniards in Manila had subjected them to discriminations which amounted almost to exclusion. But Chienlung had yet to learn that there was one law for Western peoples, another for Eastern, and Europe at the moment was too much engrossed with its own affairs to undertake the duty of instructing him. Lord Macartney's mission had a consequence which, although removed from its cause by an interval of twenty-one years, should be remembered incidentally. A Chinese official named Sung having shown much civility to the mission, and having subsequently won many warm friends among the English during his tenure of the Canton viceroyalty, it was decided to send him from England a letter and some valuable presents, "as an acknowledgment of past good offices and an earnest of future ones." Sung, then a member of the Grand Council in Peking, accepted the presents, but when the fact became known to his Government, it degraded him and returned the gifts.

That’s exactly what he attempted a few days ago. In this article he sympathizes with Hungary, and wants Czechoslovakia to give part of their territory over to Hungary. This shows that the Tory gang, the special interest gang in England is fighting against the people of a real republic in Europe just like the Tory gang, the special interest gang in this country is fighting and oppressing the mass of the people, the foundation stone of the republic. It’s the same thing the world over, and all down through the ages—the special interest crowd, the gang that opposes the theory of “thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself,” crucified Jesus Christ, murdered St. Paul, and hounded [[Author:Thomas Woodrow Wilson|Woodrow Wilson]] to death. Czechoslovakia, don’t you ever worry for one minute—we’re for you, and we’re proud of the progress you’re making as the shining example of a republic in central Europe; we’re not going to be fooled by what this London Tory editor writes. We don’t want war; we want peace. But that Hungary crowd, those Magyars, are a bad lot. They tyrannize over their own minorities, they were more responsible for the war than any other European nation, and they are today the powder magazine of Europe. They want trouble and war, because they realize that’s the only way they stand any chance at all of grabbing off more territory and power. Luckily there are only eight million of them, and they are hemmed in all around so that they are helpless. God help Europe if there were 100 million of them. Formerly Asiatics, they are aggressive, haughty, and think themselves superior. Exactly the kind of people we don’t want to have anything to do with. Then to think the aristocrats of Hungary could get hooked up with the aristocrats of England so closely that this Tory writer would not only publish this pack of untrue and unfair stuff in his own great paper in London, but he would have the nerve to get it published in so many of our big papers over here. The amazing thing is that our papers would publish it. I am telling about this marked incident of Tory propaganda against the integrity of Czechoslovakia just to call attention again to the fact that the forces of democracy, whether they be at home or abroad, have to exercise eternal vigilance to maintain their rights. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> ocuzjrembxrwxo2q91af6x6p2g55803 Page:The Works of Ben Jonson - Gifford - Volume 4.djvu/192 104 4848194 15134501 2025-06-14T21:13:26Z Chrisguise 2855804 /* Proofread */ 15134501 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Chrisguise" />{{rvh|188|THE ALCHEMIST.}}</noinclude><ref follow="p187">mischievous sect called the ''Family of Love''.

A wonderful country and a wonderful people—a splendid and a climbing republic, with nearly fourteen million people who are working, producing, saving, living, and loving. Forced into the great war, but hungering for freedom and the right to govern themselves, they were able to break away even before the signing of the armistice, and form their own free and independent government. Beloved Bohemia, one of the ancient cradles of liberty, is a part of this newer country. Hail to you! Our hearts, our sympathies are with you; we’re proud of you.

Hanus, chancellor in Prague, Czechoslovakia, in which he praises the Student Life Magazine, every copy of which, he says, makes him feel again the springtime of his life. He has also sent us copies of his book, called “The Eucharistic Congress in Chicago”, written by himself and Senator Myslivec, both of whom attended the Congress in Chicago in 1926. We have found the book, which contains 126 pages with numerous illustrations, highly interesting because, among other things, it gives the authors’ experiences and impressions of our Catholic Czech life, of our parishes, and our organizations. One of the chapters deals with the visit of the Czechoslovak delegates to the Lisle Institutions. Dr. Hanus informs us that the price of the book is 5 Crowns, or in American money 20c—25c by mail. Copies can be ordered from the Bohemian Benedictine Press, 1641 Allport Str., Chicago, or the American Alliance of Catholic Czechs, 3207 W. 22nd Str., Chicago, Ill., or from us.

There are Primitive, Secondary, Tertiary and Quaternary formations, but the theory that they may be defined and determined by physical structure and present relative position is only approximately true. All crystalline rocks are not primitive, all the secondary rocks are not merely consolidated fragments of primitive rocks. Some of them are fully metamorphosed. All Tertiary rocks are not unconsolidated, as the Tertiaries of California illustrate, and we now know that altitude above the sea, or relative position of the various formations, are by no means uniform and form no criterion for their determination. The next important advance in the classification of rocks was started by Werner and his pupils. It was a classification based upon the mineral constitution of the rocks. As the study of geology advanced Lehmann's classification was found difficult to apply with precision, and it was found to be unnatural in that rocks of apparently similar kind were dissociated, while rocks of unlike character were brought into the same class. And the mineral character and composition of rocks was found to be an accurate means of defining them. As the mineral characters became clearly understood, the rock masses received their names from the chief minerals in them, and finally the mineral nomenclature entirely superseded the nomenclature of Lehmann, and a second classification arose in which the theory of the original order of formation of the rocks gave place to the actual sequence of mineral aggregates, one after another, in examined sections of the earth's crust. In this study of minerals Werner was a conspicuous leader, and the classifications at the beginning of the present century were mainly his or adaptations of them. The form which the geological scale assumed in English geological systems is seen in typical form in Conybeare and Phillip's Geology of England and Wales, 1822. Arranged in order from above downwards, it is as follows: {{plainlist/s|indent=1}} * {{roman|1}}. ''Superior order.'' ({{lang|de|Neues Floetzgebirge}}, of Werner). * {{roman|2}}.

Did not everyone think so? Before breakfast on the morning following the scene, Mrs. Langham telephoned her invitation to Patricia at her flat, protesting that she really could not wait a moment longer before “putting things right, between us, my dear.” Patricia, tired and listless after her night of sleepless thought, listened in silence, her tongue in her cheek. “Very well,” she replied curtly, and replaced the receiver.

Mrs. Langham and her old friends were still grouped in the centre of the unswept floor. They fell silent as the girl re-entered. Patricia spoke directly to Mrs. Langham. “I’ve arranged for trestles and tables. We need them for sorting and packing. The carter will be here with them in half-an-hour. Two wholesale firms are sending packing cases by their own trucks. Two signs, one for the outer door and one for this, will be in place before lunch-time.

That first day was a memorable one for No. 2 Committee. Mrs. Langham and her old friends did more real work for charity than they had done in all their long careers of voluntary public service.<noinclude></noinclude> jvi2769tswfblsbrzdtoakhxycuxyws Page:Restless Earth.djvu/150 104 4848208 15134549 2025-06-14T21:40:51Z IdiotSavant 61017 /* Proofread */ 15134549 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="IdiotSavant" />{{rvh|149|RESTLESS EARTH}}</noinclude>They actually suffered the indignity of perspiration, and one pious lady once so far forgot her piety as to use a profane expression. Mr. Percival Langham and Patricia alone put all their energies into the work willingly. An unspoken alliance existed between them. They understood each other. “Aren’t you rather neglecting your business?” Patricia asked him, as she held up an end of a shelf while he nailed it in position. “Oh, no,” he answered lightly. “My business is to assure fair play for my clients—and my friends.” He glanced at her as he said the last words. Patricia smiled in reply. Mrs. Langham observed the glance and the smile, and grew more sulky than ever. She could not bring herself to speak at all, merely endorsing Patricia’s curt orders with an affirmative nod. She would have liked to tear the impertinent creature limb from limb in these laborious hours, and was convinced that her old friends held the same idea behind their outraged and sweating brows. As for Langham{{longdash}}! She would have a few words to say to him, later. The next morning, the third after the earthquake, Mrs. Langham’s attitude had changd. She was her old, bright, commanding self when she entered the depot shortly after nine o’clock. She was accompanied by her husband, who wore his customary deferential air and trailed meekly behind her. She was surprised to see the whole committee already assembled. Her old friends were not early-risers as a rule, but, of course, her own position demanded the sacrifice of her “beauty sleep” at this time. Only Patricia worked. The others seemed to await orders. Patricia was in no mood to give orders this morning.

She had thought herself hopeless when Harley had left her; now she felt herself to be hopeless indeed. This morning nothing interested her, neither the committee nor Mrs. Langham, the earthquake nor the work she was engaged upon. Her brain seemed dead. She seemed to have lost all capacity for further suffering or emotion. Mrs. Langham revived her. The large lady, pleasantly surprised to find that Patricia had abdicated the leadership of her own accord, smiled genially upon her old friends and pointedly ignored the girl, who was packing foodstuffs into a large case in a corner of the room. “Now, let me see,” she began happily, divesting herself of her gloves and handbag. “Where shall we start this morning? Ah, yes. We had better undo all these parcels and classify the contents. Have you the scissors, Percival?” For some time Mrs. Langham and her old friends fussily undid parcels and classified their contents, discussing meanwhile the aches and pains resulting from their labours of yesterday, and expressing the opinion that No. 2 Committee was an example to every other committee in the country. Patricia worked in silence and alone. The old friends avoided her, and Mrs. Langham continued to ignore her. At last came the lead for which Mrs. Langham had waited. One of the old friends mentioned the Harleys. “Such a nice little thing, she was,” said the old friend, referring to Grace. “So quiet and unassuming.” “Clever, too,” said another old friend. “I have heard that she furnished the plots for her husband’s stories.” {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> lz113vlq0vb2olcmh4rbl9y3som4n6z Page:Restless Earth.djvu/152 104 4848211 15134565 2025-06-14T21:45:17Z IdiotSavant 61017 /* Proofread */ 15134565 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="IdiotSavant" />{{rvh|151|RESTLESS EARTH}}</noinclude>Mrs. Langham noted that Patricia had ceased her work, although she still stooped over the packing-case. “I regard Mrs. Harley as one of the most charming young women I have ever been privileged to meet,” said Mrs. Langham, raising her voice somewhat. “The Harleys are neighbours of ours, you know. It is very sad.” “My husband tells me that he rushed off to Napier on Tuesday night,” said the first old friend. “What a terrible shock it must have been to find them both—like that. A sensitive man, such as he must be{{longdash}}” “Of course, it must have been an awful blow, my dear,” agreed Mrs. Langham, “especially under the circumstances.” The significance of the latter words did not go unnoticed, and although Mrs. Langham had her back turned, she knew that Patricia had raised her head. The old friends drew closer together. “There have been rumours that the Harleys were not altogether happy,” said one insinuatingly. Mrs. Langham shrugged her shoulders non-committally and was silent. “Wasn’t there some talk of another woman?” asked another. “S-sh!” Mrs. Langham’s sibilant caution could have been heard in the next room, and her cautious nod directed the gaze of her old friends over her shoulder. The old friends shot startled glances in the direction of Patricia as comprehension came to them. Then they became excessively busy as they saw that the girl had straightened and was approaching with a curious expression upon her white and drawn face.

She became stern. “Are you in the habit of eavesdropping, Miss Weybourn?” she asked severely. “Yes, when you and your kind are whispering,” was the uncompromising answer. “Then you will have heard and understood, Miss Weybourn,” said Mrs. Langham, with a curl of her lip. Patricia’s right hand came into contact with Mrs. Langham’s cheek so sharply that it raised a tiny cloud of pink dust and revealed a network of tiny wrinkles. The sound of the blow echoed in the long room, and the old friends gasped in horror as they backed away. To his everlasting shame Mr. Langham thrust his hands into his pockets, strolled to the window and examined the sky while he strove to whistle a half-forgotten tune. After the first shock of surprise, Mrs. Langham looked around for her natural protector. The sight of his back and the sound of his whistle roused her to fury. “You—you hussy!” she barked. “How dare you! How dare you!” “I’ll dare anything where you are concerned, Mrs. Langham,” replied Patricia evenly, advancing her open hand again. “Will you explain the ‘Ssh!’ or must I strike you again?” {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> kfm3mjbn1ad4hrunl39iopqjomenu8u Author:Antonín Frinta 102 4848214 15134584 2025-06-14T21:47:52Z ShakespeareFan00 8435 Created page with "{{author | firstname = Antonín | lastname = Frinta | last_initial = Fr | birthyear = <!--data now imported from wikidata, please consider deleting once matched--> | deathyear = <!--data now imported from wikidata, please consider deleting once matched--> | description = }} ==Works== {{populate}} {{authority control}} {{PD-US|deathyear=1975}}" 15134584 wikitext text/x-wiki {{author | firstname = Antonín | lastname = Frinta | last_initial = Fr | birthyear = <!--data now imported from wikidata, please consider deleting once matched--> | deathyear = <!--data now imported from wikidata, please consider deleting once matched--> | description = }} ==Works== {{populate}} {{authority control}} {{PD-US|deathyear=1975}} 8y1ko9zlio18e2orbppjoipadxf1whf Page:Restless Earth.djvu/154 104 4848215 15134592 2025-06-14T21:49:16Z IdiotSavant 61017 /* Proofread */ 15134592 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="IdiotSavant" />{{rvh|153|RESTLESS EARTH}}</noinclude>“You dare!

Percival!” screamed the injured lady, her eyes filling with tears of rage and pain. Mr. Langham turned slowly. “What is it?” he asked mildly, frowning over the top of his pince-nez. “Call a policeman, and have this woman given in charge!” There was a moment of silence. Mr. Langham looked at his wife and at the girl who faced her. “Don’t be ridiculous, Queenie!” he said, and returned to his study of the sky. Mrs. Langham and her old friends ceased to breathe for a moment, so amazing was the spectacle of a worm attempting to turn. Patricia smiled maliciously. “What did you say, Percival?” demanded his wife imperiously, when she had recovered her breath. “What did you say?” “Don’t be ridiculous, Queenie!” Percival Langham turned and approached the two women. His wife stared at him, fascinated, almost forgetful of her enmity in her amazement. “You asked for it, my dear,” he told his wife. “I have told you often that your tongue would get you into trouble some day. As for calling a constable, I fancy you spoke without consideration, I do not care to have my wife appear as defendant in an assault case, any more than my wife would care to argue this matter in court.

One afternoon they were walking along a road together, when the jackal, who was the taller of the two, exclaimed: ‘Oh! there is a barn full of corn; let us go and eat some.’ ‘Yes, do let us!’ answered the hedgehog. So they went to the barn, and ate till they could eat no more. Then the jackal put on his shoes, which he had taken off so as to make no noise, and they returned to the high road. After they had gone some way they met a panther, who stopped, and bowing politely, said: ‘Excuse my speaking to you, but I cannot help admiring those shoes of yours. Do you mind telling me who made them?’ ‘Yes, I think they ''are'' rather nice,’ answered the jackal; ‘I made them myself, though.’ ‘Could you make me a pair like them?’ asked the panther eagerly. ‘I would do my best, of course,’ replied the jackal; ‘but you must kill me a cow, and when we have eaten the flesh I will take the skin and make your shoes out of it.’ So the panther prowled about until he saw a fine<noinclude></noinclude> dvfxn9jf5d2n2sd2gu1rat672agbgrz Page:Restless Earth.djvu/155 104 4848217 15134597 2025-06-14T21:51:10Z IdiotSavant 61017 /* Proofread */ 15134597 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="IdiotSavant" />{{rvh|154|RESTLESS EARTH}}</noinclude>twice and sank upon a convenient bench. Her heels drummed upon the floor and she moaned pitiously. “The bottle of smelling-salts is broken, my dear,” Mr. Langham reminded her as he returned to the window. The old friends gathered around their fallen leader and obscured her from the mocking gaze of the brazen creature who stood regarding them. In a moment they were thrown aside with violence as Mrs. Langham fairly bounced to her feet and confronted her tormentor. “I suppose,” she shrieked, forgetting her culture and aspirations in this moment of supreme anger, “you didn’t move into the Harley house, bag and baggage, last Tuesday? I suppose you didn’t clean up the house, make all the beds, do the washing-up and have tea with Harley? I suppose you didn’t intend to stay there—knowing you had driven his wife and child away?” “And I suppose you don’t know that I am capable of putting you in the dock on a charge of criminal slander, Mrs. Langham?” returned Patricia icily. “You would never dare!” breathed Mrs. Langham aghast, the colour leaving her cheeks, her eyes starting in affright. “You dared me to strike you a moment since,” Patricia reminded her quietly. “I have no social standing that I should be afraid of any dare, Mrs. Langham. As sure as God made you, I’ll have you in the criminal court if I hear another whisper on this matter from you! My life is my own to live as it pleases me. I will not be subject to a tuppeny-ha’penny social climber such as you!” There was a dead stillness in the room for a second, then Patricia turned away and moved towards her packing-case. “That is the end of Round Two,” she said. “Now, is there anything else you wished packed with this stuff?” {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> 4ng3ypd103jycam7ll18ix7hlxl4fat Page:The Orange Fairy Book.djvu/191 104 4848218 15134598 2025-06-14T21:51:14Z TeysaKarlov 3017537 /* Proofread */ 15134598 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TeysaKarlov" />{{rh||''THE ADVENTURES OF A JACKAL''|161}}</noinclude>cow grazing apart from the rest of the herd. He killed it instantly, and then gave a cry to the jackal and hedgehog to come to the place where he was. They soon skinned the dead beast, and spread its skin out to dry, after which they had a grand feast before they curled themselves up for the night, and slept soundly. Next morning the jackal got up early and set to work upon the shoes, while the panther sat by and looked on with delight. At last they were finished, and the jackal arose and stretched himself. ‘Now go and lay them in the sun out there,’ said he; ‘in a couple of hours they will be ready to put on; but do not attempt to wear them before, or you will feel them most uncomfortable. But I see the sun is high in the heavens, and we must be continuing our journey.’ The panther, who always believed what everybody told him, did exactly as he was bid, and in two hours’ time began to fasten on the shoes. They certainly set off his paws wonderfully, and he stretched out his forepaws and looked at them with pride. But when he tried to ''walk''—ah! that was another story! They were so stiff and hard that he nearly shrieked every step he took, and at last he sank down where he was, and actually began to cry. After some time some little partridges who were hopping about heard the poor panther’s groans, and went up to see what was the matter. He had never tried to make his dinner off ''them'', and they had always been quite friendly. ‘You seem in pain,’ said one of them, fluttering close to him, ‘can we help you?’ ‘Oh, it is the jackal!’ He made me these shoes; they are so hard and tight that they hurt my feet, and I cannot manage to kick them off.’ ‘Lie still, and we will soften them,’ answered the kind little partridge.

This they did till the hard leather grew soft, and the panther was able to slip his feet out of them. ‘Oh, thank you, thank you,’ he cried, skipping round with joy. ‘I feel a different creature. Now I will go after the jackal and pay him my debts.’ And he bounded away into the forest. But the jackal had been very cunning, and had trotted backwards and forwards and in and out, so that it was very difficult to know which track he had really followed. At length, however, he caught sight of his enemy, at the same moment that the jackal had caught sight of him. The panther gave a loud roar, and sprung forward, but the jackal was too quick for him and plunged into a dense thicket, where the panther could not follow. Disgusted with his failure, but more angry than ever, the panther lay down for a while to consider what he should do next, and as he was thinking, an old man came by. ‘Oh! father, tell me how I can repay the jackal for the way he has served me!’ And without more ado he told his story. ‘If you take my advice,’ answered the old man, ‘you will kill a cow, and invite all the jackals in the forest to the feast. Watch them carefully while they are eating, and you will see that most of them keep their eyes on their food. But if one of them glances at ''you'', you will know that is the traitor.’ The panther, whose manners were always good, thanked the old man, and followed his counsel.

Below these he recognizes Werner's Grauwacke group, for what was the lower part of the original ''{{lang|de|Uebergangsgebirge}}'' of his earlier classification, and below this were the ''inferior stratified or non-fossiliferous rocks, and the unstratified rocks''. All of the names, it will be observed, are names indicative of mineral characters. If we turn back to the year 1817 we find the same Wernerian system applied to the classification of North American rocks by William Maclure (Observations on the Geology of the United States of America, Philadelphia, 1817). The author writes: "Necessity dictates the adoption of some system so far as respects the classification and arrangement of names. The Wernerian seems to be the most suitable, first, because it is the most perfect and extensive in its general outlines; and secondly, the nature and relative situation of the minerals in the United States, whilst they are certainly the most extensive of any field yet examined, may perhaps be found the most correct elucidation of the general accuracy of that theory, so far as respects the relative position of the different series of rocks." (Observations, etc., p. 28).

Only one of them seemed uneasy, and every now and then glanced in the direction of his host. This the panther noticed, and suddenly made a bound at the culprit and seized his tail; but again the jackal was too quick for him, and catching up a knife he cut off his tail and darted into the forest, followed by all the rest of the party. And before the panther had recovered from his surprise he found himself alone. ‘What am I to do ''now?''’ he asked the old man, who soon came back to see how things had turned out. ‘It is very unfortunate, certainly,’ answered he; ‘but I think I know where you can find him. There is a melon garden about two miles from here, and as jackals are very fond of melons they are nearly sure to have gone there to feed. If you see a tailless jackal you will know that he is the one you want.’ So the panther thanked him and went his way. Now the jackal had guessed what advice the old man would give his enemy, and so, while his friends were greedily eating the ripest melons in the sunniest corner of the garden, he stole behind them and tied their tails together. He had only just finished when his ears caught the sound of breaking branches; and he cried: ‘Quick! quick! here comes the master of the garden!’ And the jackals sprang up and ran away in all directions, leaving their tails behind them. And how was the panther to know which was his enemy? ‘They none of them had any tails,’ he said sadly to the old man, ‘and I am tired of hunting them. I shall leave them alone and go and catch something for supper.’ Of course the hedgehog had not been able to take part in any of these adventures; but as soon as all danger<noinclude></noinclude> m9xanp9cgv52xlmj9b39bcaequcilxy Page:The Orange Fairy Book.djvu/194 104 4848225 15134641 2025-06-14T21:56:04Z TeysaKarlov 3017537 /* Proofread */ 15134641 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TeysaKarlov" />{{rh|164|THE ADVENTURES OF A JACKAL|}}</noinclude>was over, the jackal went to look for his friend whom he was lucky enough to find at home. ‘Ah, there you are,’ he said gaily. ‘I have lost my tail since I saw you last. And other people have lost theirs too; but that is no matter! I am hungry, so come with me to the shepherd who is sitting over there, and we will ask him to sell us one of his sheep.’ ‘Yes, that is a good plan,’ answered the hedgehog. And he walked as fast as his little legs would go to keep up with the jackal. When they reached the shepherd the jackal pulled out his purse from under his foreleg, and made his bargain. ‘Only wait till to-morrow,’ said the shepherd, ‘and I will give you the biggest sheep you ever saw. But he always feeds at some distance from the rest of the flock, and it would take me a long time to catch him.’ ‘Well, it is very tiresome, but I suppose I must wait,’ replied the jackal. And he and the hedgehog looked about for a nice dry cave in which to make themselves comfortable for the night. But, after they had gone, the shepherd killed one of his sheep, and stripped off his skin, which he sewed tightly round a greyhound he had with him, and put a cord round its neck. Then he lay down and went to sleep. Very, very early, before the sun was properly up, the jackal and the hedgehog were pulling at the shepherd’s cloak. ‘Wake up,’ they said, ‘and give us that sheep. We have had nothing to eat all night, and are very hungry.’ The shepherd yawned, and rubbed his eyes. ‘He is tied up to that tree; go and take him.’ So they went to the tree and unfastened the cord, and turned to go back to the cave where they had slept, dragging the greyhound after them. When they reached the cave the jackal said to the hedgehog: ‘Before I kill him let me see whether he is fat or thin.’ And he stood a little way back, so that he might<noinclude></noinclude> 28rtp1d8j6cquqiabiylgwmcc0z9pwx Page:The Orange Fairy Book.djvu/195 104 4848226 15134658 2025-06-14T21:57:42Z TeysaKarlov 3017537 /* Proofread */ 15134658 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TeysaKarlov" />{{rh||THE ADVENTURES OF A JACKAL|165}}</noinclude>the better examine the animal. After looking at him, with his head on one side, for a minute or two, he nodded gravely. ‘He is quite fat enough; he is a good sheep.’ But the hedgehog, who sometimes showed more cunning than anyone would have guessed, answered: ‘My friend, you are talking nonsense. The wool is indeed a sheep’s wool, but the paws of my uncle the greyhound peep out from underneath.’ ‘He is a ''sheep'',’ repeated the jackal, who did not like to think anyone cleverer than himself. ‘Hold the cord while ''I'' look at him,’ answered the hedgehog. Very unwillingly the jackal held the rope, while the hedgehog walked slowly round the greyhound till he reached the jackal again. He knew quite well by the paws and tail that it was a greyhound and not a sheep, that the shepherd had sold them; and as he could not tell what turn affairs might take, he resolved to get out of the way. ‘Oh! yes, you are right,’ he said to the jackal; ‘but I never can eat till I have first drunk. I will just go and quench my thirst from that spring at the edge of the wood, and then I shall be ready for breakfast.’ ‘Don’t be long, then,’ called the jackal, as the hedgehog hurried off at his best pace. And he lay down under a rock to wait for him. More than an hour passed by and the hedgehog had had plenty of time to go to the spring and back, and still there was no sign of him. And this was very natural, as he had hidden himself in some long grass under a tree! At length the jackal guessed that for some reason his friend had run away, and determined to wait for his breakfast no longer.

Came the day when the astounded worshippers found that their shrine had vamoosed—and in its place hung a life-size (believe it or not) picture of that leviathan of title-writers, Joe Farnham.

But there's one place I can lose myself and my loneliness and that's in a good picture. I feel that I speak for all the old, lonesome people in this city and elsewhere when I thank the producers and directors and actors who have provided amusement and entertainment for us. I have seen hundreds of pictures, including the new talkies, in the last ten years, and while I have sat through many bad ones, yet in the main I have enjoyed them all. They portray Life, and to us who have stepped off the stage and must watch from the outside, they help us forget that we have grown old and are forgotten in the mad swirl of things. The younger folks go to the movies, but they have other things to go to. But to me, it is my only form of amusement and my only way of reviewing the days when I was young and enjoying life, and so I am an enthusiastic movie fan. The critics say that the pictures are bad. Maybe they are, but I have seen many bad things in my day, and it seems to me that the movies are cleaner than lots of things. {{right|T.

The multi-engaged young lady, whose current fiancé is Tay Garnett, Pathe director, has set her wedding date definitely for the Fall and plans are already under way. Pat writes from Beverly Hills to say: "All I hear is talk of weddings, showers, luncheons honoring... etc. What with Carmel's wedding next Sunday, and May's a few weeks later, and my own in the offing, I can tell you just what the perfect bride is wearing, thinking, and saying." Carmel (Myers) and May (McAvoy) will be married before the ink is dry on this page and Patsy Ruth soon after. Pat goes on: "All my life I have looked forward to my revenge. I have donated to showers for some eight years now, and have been awaiting my turn with impatience... but now that it has come I somehow hesitate. It ''does'' seem awfully commercial to invite people to a party on condition that they bring a present!—so I am side-stepping showers to the best of my ability, although if anyone wants to give just a good old-fashioned party for me, I shall accept eagerly." And that's the kind of a gal the future Mrs. Garnett is. {{di|H}}OLLYWOOD always gets more than its share of princes and princesses on the loose, but the most interesting nabob it has ever had, by all odds, is Louis Ferdinand, Prince of Prussia, second son of the former crown prince of Germany and grandson of the late All-Highest, now the old gardener of Doorn. Louis Ferdinand is a tall, gangling youth of 21—a Hohenzollern by build, actions and nose. He is out here on the coast purely on speculation. He has a very modest allowance from the present German state, and is now padding it a little by working for the Ford airplane people at about five dollars a day. {{di|B}}UT the film colony, always celebrity-hungry, chooses to forget the fact that Louis is dirtying his hands at manual toil. It throws him enormous parties and he is a prominent figure at first nights, usually with a large party of other invited guests in tow. He has more fun for less money than anybody in Hollywood. He is an old friend of Lily Damita's from her European era, and is seen places with her a good deal. But his royal heritage didn't keep him from being refused admission to the Fox Hills movietone lot—which is harder to crash than Heaven. Not long ago Louis was the guest of a well known dialog writer in Hollywood, and wanted to stay the night. There were only two beds in the bungalow—the spare being normally occupied by the yellow house-boy. So the prince of Prussia and a Filipino boy shook dice for the extra bed! Could the great levelling of the democratic ideal go farther? {{ppoem| The stars all lunch in privacy With but five hundred eyes to see— At every movie opening They prance and strut like anything— Each, nourishing her precious name, Just stumbles up the stares to fame! }} {{di|D}}OLORES DEL RIO is a lady in search of a voice.

He was tired. He took off his coat, boots, and hat and threw himself on a bed. He smiled to himself as he thought how neatly he had thrown Garrett off the scent. While the posses were sweeping New Mexico, he had been safe in Fort Sumner among friends. But it was time for him to get out of the coun- try. These bloodhounds on his trail would nose him out sooner or later. He would start for Mexico to-morrow night. And while the Kid dreamed his dream, death was waiting in ambush for him fifty feet away. “Celsa,” he called. Celsa Gutierrez, Saval’s wife, who had been waiting, up for the Kid to come in from the sheep camp, stepped into the room from the kitchen. “I'm hungry, Celsa,” said the Kid. “Can’t you get me a bite to eat?” Celsa rummaged through her pantry. “There is nothing here but some cold tortillas and coffee, Chiquito,” she said, “but Pete Maxwell killed a beef to-day. It is hanging in the north porch of the Max- well house. T'll go cut you off a steak and cook you a good supper.” She went back into the kitchen and got her butcher knife. She was reaching for her rebozo hanging on a nail on the wall to throw over her head against the night damp. “I'll go for the meat,” said the Kid, getting up from the bed. “No, muchacho,” protested Celsa. “You must stay here. There is no telling what might happen to you. Danger is always near you. You must not venture out to-night.” On this night of nights, Fate, it might seem, was setting the stage.

But he had come. There was now no need for him to go for the meat. But he went. “There is no danger, Celsa,” he said. “Give me the butcher knife.” So the Kid started out for the meat just as he was, bare« headed, coatless, with only socks on his feet, the butcher knife in his right hand and, naturally enough, as he was left-handed, his forty-one calibre double-action revolver in its scabbard at his left side. He stepped from the door of Saval Gutierrez’s home not more than a minute after Garrett had entered Pete Maxwell's room. The familiar scene outdoors was more than usually serene in the pale moonlight. The deep hush of midnight lay upon the slumbering town. The great, dark, silent mass of the Maxwell home loomed fifty feet ahead of him. There was no movement, no sound to indicate danger, nothing to warn him to be on guard. He was huncrv. The carcass of beef hung in the north porch He would cut off a good steak for himself. There was no better cook in Fort Sumner than Celsa. He would have a rezular feast. . . . He did not see the two deputies sitting in the heavy shadows of the porch. With quick, easy stride, still thinking of his supper, he walked straight toward them, his soul off watch. Poe saw him coming. McKinney, squatting behind the palings rolling a cigarette, neither saw nor heard him. The Kid's figure stood out clearly in the moonlight as he moved noiselessly on bootless feet over the matted grass. Not a flash of suspicion disturbed Poe's mind that this was the desperado he was hunting, whom he knew he had to kill on sight, who otherwise would kill him instantly and without mercy. Strangely enough at this tense, critical moment of the long chase, the deputy’s wits seem<noinclude></noinclude> ow229o9wodyijszx45nbwaz5j26efoc Page:Saga of Billy the Kid.djvu/296 104 4848243 15135989 2025-06-14T23:36:12Z BD2412 1511 create page 15135989 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="1" user="BD2412" />{{rvh2|282|<--!chapter title-->|THE SAGA OF BILLY THE KID|282}}</noinclude>to have been wool-gathering. He looked at the approach. ing figure with only casual interest, wondered in a mildly curious way who this half-dressed youth might be wander- ing about at midnight, and contented himself with the half-formed, passing thought that probably it was one of Pete Maxwell's sheep herders. Coming on rapidly, the Kid stepped up on the porch and almost stumbled over Poe before he saw him. If his soul had been off watch before, that instant it sprang to hair-trigger alertness. There was a lightning-quick move- ment of his left hand and Poe was staring in astonishment into the muzzle of the Kid’s revolver. “Quitn es?” The Kid's voice was vibrant with a suddenly awakened sense of danger. Who were these two armed strangers at Pete Maxwell's house at midnight? He began to back away across the porch. Poe was nonplussed, his mind somehow still out of focus. He thought with a certain touch of pity that, without intention, he had frightened this poor sheep herder. It seemed to him vaguely that he owed the simple rustic some sort of apology. He got to his feet and took a step toward the Kid. “Don’t be scared,” he said reassuringly. “I’m not go- ing to hurt you.” The Kid kept backing away. “Quin es?” he snapped out again. Poe said nothing more. He did not know what to say. He had never seen a sheep herder act like this. The fellow must be crazy. It did not occur to him to draw his six-shooter. He stood there feeling rather foolish, the Kid’s gun all the while pointed at his breast.

He, too, fancied the Kid a sheep herder and was equally at a loss to understand the situa- tion. The Kid backed into the doorway of Maxwell’s room. There he paused for an instant, half-hidden by the thick adobe wall, his gun still at aim. “Quién es?” he called a third time. Then he turned and stepped into the black darkness of the chamber; into security, as he fancied; into a death trap, in reality. In the darkness, Death crouched, waiting, ready. Coming in out of the bright moonlight, the Kid could hardly see his hand before him. But he did not reed to see. He knew the room of old, the arrangement cf the furniture—every detail. He groped to the foot cr the bed, stepped around to the side, leaned slighti over Maxwell. “Quiénes son esos hombres afuera, Pete!” he asked (Who are those fellows outsider) Garrett, sitting silent in the darkness at the heal of che bed, could have stretched out a hand and t:uche Kid.

The Kid felt, rather than saw, the noiseless movement of Garrett’s arm. He caught a sudden, vague glimpse of Garrett’s form bulking dimly in the darkness. He sprang back to the middle of the room and threw his revolver to a level. “Quién es?” he demanded sharply. Dropping over sideways from the chair toward the floor in a tricky, dodging movement, Garrett answered the question with a shot. A flare of lurid flame lighted up the darkness for an instant, the room shook with a sudden crashing explosion, and Billy the Kid fell dead with a bullet through his heart. Garrett fired a second shot as quickly as his finger could pull the trigger and, bolting for the door, was out of the room in three strides. Pete Maxwell, in wild panic, scrambled over the foot of his bed and, hard on Garrett’s neels, dashed outside, a fat, ludicrous figure clad only in his nightshirt.

He soon recognized the bay horse as Brazel’s and the stalwart young figure sitting in the saddle with the nonchalant grace of a veteran range rider as Brazel himself. As his team, moving at a smart clip, cut down the intervening distance, Garrett was soon able to note the details of the horseman’s attire—gray sombrero set squarely on the head, tan overalls, gray coat beneath which projected the yellow leather holster of a six-shooter, a red-and-black knitted scarf around the throat against a tang of cold in the February morning. Hard lines appeared about Garrett’s eyes, and his lips tightened as he clucked up his horses. He seemed grimly pleased at the prospect of this accidental meeting. “I’ll give that young fellow a piece of my mind,” he said. Brazel looked surprised but in no wise disconcerted as Garrett drew alongside and pulled his team to a walk. “I am goin’ to give you mighty little more time to get off my land,” said Garrett. “I’ll take all the time I want,” Brazel replied with crisp deliberation. “You ain’t goin’ to get that land back till my lease is up. I’ve told you that before.” “I’ll show you. If the law don’t put you off, I will.” “You can’t bluff me and no use trying.” “Moreover, you’ve got no right running goats on my land.” “I’ll run any kind of stock on it I please.” “And you can’t sublet it under the lease.” “I’ve already sublet it.” So they snarled and snapped at each other.

The backing-strap of one of Garrett’s horses be- came unbuckled. He stopped his team, climbed out, and rebuckled it. Brazel reined his horse to a standstill at the side of the road and waited for the journey and the argument to begin again. He sat in his saddle, silent, watchful, defiant. Garrett stepped back to the space between the wheels. He stood for a moment facing his enemy, his tall, lank form rigid, his face twisted with rage, murder blazing in his eyes. His words had been wasted; it was time for buckshot. “God damn you,” he said, “if I can’t get you off my land one way, I will another.” He reached into the buckboard and snatched up his gun. He wheeled with the gun almost to his shoulder. But quick as he was, the old fighter was not quick enough for his young antagonist. At Garrett's first hostile move, Brazel jerked out his six-shooter and, at a distance of ten feet, fired twice. The first bullet drove through Garrett’s heart, the second struck him between the eyes. Either would have been fatal. Garrett crashed to the ground at full length on his face, almost against the fore feet of Brazel’s horse, both hands still gripping his shotgun firmly, a finger of his right hand against the trigger. Levelling the six-shooter at Adamson, who still sat in the buckboard, Brazel said, “You'll come on with me to Las Cruces and tell this thing exactly as it happened.” So, leaving the dead man lying in the road, Brazel and Adam- son journeyed on to Las Cruces, where Brazel surrendered to Shenff Lucero, who locked him in jail. Garrett’s body lay in the lonely mountain road for five hours; a party of hrs friends drove out from Las Cruces in a wagon and brought it into town toward sunset.

Walker described 40 species, but after the removal of synonyms, and unidentifiable descriptions of which the types have been lost, these are reducible to 12. Zeller has added one new species. Felder has described 9, out of which (excluding ''Pædisca mahiana'', which is unknown to me, but perhaps not a New Zealand species) only one is new. Butler has, also, described 7, of which only two are new. I have previously described 9 others, and now give descriptions of 11 additional species, which, with two naturalized European insects, bring up the entire number to only 38. I have been led by a fuller acquaintance with the New Zealand species, which are presumably in the main of old types, to modify the views expressed in my paper on the Australian ''Tortricina'' ([[Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales/Series 1 Volume 5|Proc. Linn. Soc. of New South Wales]], 1881) as to the process of development of the ''Tortricidæ''. The genus ''Harmologa'' and the additional species of ''Proselena'' furnish so strong a connecting link between their own group (or that of ''Acropolitis''), and that of ''Tortrix'' and ''Cacoecia'', that I see no other way of accounting for it, except on the supposition that this group is the oldest of the three principal ones, and that the groups of ''Dichelia'', on the one hand, and of ''Tortrix'', on the other, both sprang from it in diverging lines. The genus ''Prothelymna'' further supplies the nearest approach known to me in these regions towards the type from which this oldest group must have arisen. It is impossible to arrange a linear order so as to clearly show these relations, but I think them quite apparent. The history of the special distinguishing character of the ''Acropolitis'' group, the separation at origin of veins 3 and 4 of the hindwings, is thus satisfactorily made out; the group originates from the ''Chimabacchidæ'', a small family specially characterized by this same structure, but in the ''Depressaridæ'' and ''Œcophoridæ'', which are very extensive families, and the parents of the ''Chimabacchidæ'', this character is entirely absent; the tendency to reversion in this particular has evidently been very strong, since in all three families of the ''Tortricina'' the character has disappeared from all but the oldest types. So marked is this result,<noinclude></noinclude> 28zw54o9iclcrvc5cypz1uldnkwofrs Page:Transactions NZ Institute Volume 15.djvu/60 104 4848252 15136020 2025-06-15T00:24:02Z Beeswaxcandle 80078 /* Proofread */ 15136020 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Beeswaxcandle" /></noinclude>that out of about 650 European ''Tortricina'' only about a dozen, or two per cent. possess this structure; though in Australia the proportion is sixteen per cent. and in New Zealand thirty-six per cent. The New Zealand ''Tortricina'' are of a very fragmentary sort; even those that are congeneric are very rarely at all closely allied specifically. The fauna certainly strikes one as not having been developed on the spot from a few types, but as being the broken remains of a much more extensive one; though it might possibly have been derived by scanty immigration from different sides. Unfortunately there is practically little or nothing known of the South American ''Tortricina'', nor of those of the South Pacific Islands. The affinity with Australia is, however, clear. The ''Tortricidæ'' are represented by 11 genera; of these 4 are cosmopolitan, 4 Australian, and 3 (so far as known) endemic. Of the cosmopolitan genera, the single species of ''Capua,'' and three species of ''Tortrix'', are closely allied to Australian forms. Two, however, of the endemic genera, viz., ''Prothelymna'' and ''Eurythecta'', are widely remote from any known Australian genera. The entire absence of ''Teras'' and ''Sciaphila'', a marked characteristic of Australia, is here equally noticeable. Eight genera of ''Grapholithidæ'' occur; but of these, two are not indigenous; and a third, ''Strepsiceros'', is represented only by two species, which both also occur in Australia, being the only two ''Tortricina'' apparently native to both countries. As this genus is considerably developed in Australia, of which it is peculiarily characteristic, and as there are no known species peculiar to New Zealand, I am disposed to think that both of these must have been in some way artificially introduced.<ref>With regard to the introduction of the two species of ''Strepsiceros'' here mentioned, I may suggest that it is sometimes stated, (I know not with what truth), that the leaves of the ''Leptospermum'', on which the larvæ of both feed, were used by the sailors of Captain Cook as a substitute for tea; and it is therefore conceivable that, when leaving Port Jackson, where the plant and both the insects in question are found, they, being ignorant that the plant was equally common in New Zealand, might have brought a supply of branches with them. ''S. ejectana'' is so abundant near Sydney, that a small consignment of these could hardly fail to introduce it successfully.</ref> Of the remaining five genera, four are isolated and endemic, containing each a single species, three of them having some apparent affinity with ''Strepsiceros;'' the fifth, ''Pædisca'', is the solitary representative of the large group of genera closely allied to ''Grapholitha'', dominant in Europe and North America, but absent from Australia, so that this species is locally quite isolated. The ''Conchylidæ'' are represented by only one genus, found also in Australia, and of a group characteristically Australian; there are structural reasons for supposing this genus to be one of the oldest types of its family. On the whole, therefore, it will be seen that the fauna is distinctly Australian in character, with some few curious and at present inexplicable exceptions. {{nop}}<noinclude>{{smallrefs}}</noinclude> 3wr2tf9op2148kiy3u8c8w4uqpxv0yk Index:Presidential Determination No. 2025–04.pdf 106 4848253 15136022 2025-06-15T00:27:06Z KINGDM76 3106247 Created page with "" 15136022 proofread-index text/x-wiki {{:MediaWiki:Proofreadpage_index_template |Type=book |Title=[[Presidential Determination No. 2025–04]] |Language=en |Volume= |Author=[[Author:Donald John Trump|Donald John Trump]] |Translator= |Editor= |Illustrator= |School= |Publisher=Office of the Federal Register |Address= |Year=2025 |Key= |ISBN= |OCLC= |LCCN= |BNF_ARK= |ARC= |DOI= |Source=pdf |Image=1 |Progress=C |Transclusion=no |Validation_date= |Pages=<pagelist 1="22835" /> |Volumes= |Remarks= |Width= |Header= |Footer= |tmplver= }} 0cvt7j19l0y6uwthmfy2t17pb99aiwx Page:Transactions NZ Institute Volume 15.djvu/61 104 4848254 15136023 2025-06-15T00:28:07Z Beeswaxcandle 80078 /* Proofread */ 15136023 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Beeswaxcandle" /></noinclude>A striking feature is the extreme variability of most of the species. Of those of which I possess sufficiently extensive series to form any judgment, two-thirds are highly inconstant in colouring, and frequently also in size. By a careful selection of types, and exclusion of intermediate forms, some of these, such as ''Adox. conditana'' and ''Pæd. obliquana'', could easily be made to do duty as a dozen species in the estimation of those who had not observed them at large, and, in fact, to this variability is due in part the large number of synonyms attached to them. It would seem from this, (in conjunction with the fact that such larvæ as are known are mostly polyphagous, and have readily adapted themselves to introduced European plants), that there have been no sufficient causes in operation to fix special types; it is possible that this may be in some measure due to the broken character of the fauna, and absence of closely allied species. It has also occurred to me, that, considering the very large number of new stations available for these insects on European plants, which have very rarely introduced any of their own ''Lepidoptera'' with them, and considering also the great pliability of character evidenced by the variability of colouring and larval habit, we have here every natural facility offered for the production of new species. It is very desirable that attention should be directed to this at once, since the process could only be detected by careful and continuous observation. Some species were wrongly classified in my paper cited above, owing in most instances to the want of material for a proper examination, my New Zealand specimens there described having been all obtained in a month's tour. I have given descriptions here of all the species, in order to afford a sufficient base of operations for the New Zealand student, without other works; but in the case of species which I have already described elsewhere, I have not given quite the amount of detail which is necessary in a first description. {{c|{{larger|TORTRICINA.}}}} Head rather rough; ocelli present; tongue short (rarely obsolete).

It was terrible to think about when the time came for them to go. A letter came to Mr. Hill from his sister in Painesville, Ohio, asking if he could not bring the little sister, meaning me, that she would like to have a little girl to be with her two small children. She would send me to school and I would be near my brother. Then I could come home in the spring and go back another winter if all was agreeable. It was at last decided that I, too, should go the last trip of the steamer Michigan, in December. {{ph|BROTHER CHARLEY GONE.}} The steamer was at the dock. Good-byes were said. Charley was gone.

All was now tumult and wild confusion. In the meantime Captain Bonneville and the residue of the party moved on to the appointed camping ground; thither the most expert runners succeeded in driving numbers of buffalo, which were killed hard by the camp, and the flesh transported thither without difficulty. In a little while the whole camp looked like one great slaughter-house; the carcasses were skilfully cut up, great fires were made, scaffolds erected for drying and jerking beef, and an ample provision was made for future subsistence. On the 14th of June, the precise day appointed for the rendezvous, Captain Bonneville and his party arrived safely at the caches. Here he was joined by the other detachments of his main party, all in good health and spirits. The caches were again opened, supplies of various kinds taken out, and a liberal allowance of ''aqua vitæ'' distributed throughout the camp, to celebrate with proper conviviality this merry meeting.{{dhr}} {{rule|7em}} <section end="sectionA" /> <section begin="sectionB" />{{dhr|3}} {{c|CHAPTER XVIII.}} {{dhr}} {{center or hi|{{asc|Meeting with Hodgkiss—misfortunes of the Nez Percés—schemes of Kosato, the renegado—his foray into the horse prairie—invasion of Blackfeet—Blue John and his Forlorn Hope—their generous enterprise—their fate—consternation and despair of the village—solemn obsequies—attempt at Indian trade—Hudson's Bay Company's monopoly—arrangements for autumn—breaking up of an encampment.}}}} {{dhr}} {{sc|Having}} now a pretty strong party, well armed and equipped, Captain Bonneville no longer felt the necessity of fortifying himself in the secret places and fastnesses of the mountains; but sallied forth boldly into the Snake River plain, in search of his clerk, Hodgkiss, who had remained with the Nez Percés.

There was no little brother to help row the boat, or swing in the old swing from the big maple tree, or chase the plovers along the shore. Our little pet dog was always searching about for Charley. His bows and arrows were put away out of sight. The house seemed still; it was as if some one lay dead. John felt just as sad as any of us. Our neighbors came to cheer us, telling us we should meet again when the spring time came. Mother still was busy getting the rest of us ready to go. Mr. Crane was our neighbor. He came from the headlands near Fairport, Ohio. His daughter Elizabeth came with him and her brother to be their housekeeper. They owned a farm in Ohio. They were a large family and money could be earned easily at the island as the fish were so plenty. They came with several other Ohio families. Mr. Crane was coming back next season and I could return with them. Nearly all our summer people were gone. We had just two left and they were going on the last boat. The Mormons were now taking boats and nets every chance they got and the Gentiles felt very unsafe. Our two Mormon friends told our people there was great trouble among them in the Church, as Strang's laws were becoming unbearable. The weather had changed and snow and ice were now with us, and brother Anthony had gone to Green Bay to his uncle John Gebeau. In another week brother Lewis and I would be gone.

John promised all and mother told me afterward she never could have lived through the winter only that John was so kind. He read them stories, and being a good singer, he sang his old native songs of Ireland. All was ready. Our trunks were packed. Mr. Crane's goods were on the dock. Fishing had been good and those who had not had their nets stolen were going home with money. There were about twenty families of the Gentiles to remain all winter at the settlement at Cable's dock. The rest went to their winter homes. I was busy bidding my little playmates farewell, as the boat was expected every hour. At last the steamer was beside the dock. Elizabeth Crane had packed my trunk, as mother could not do it. I had my dolls packed and then took them out, saying to mother, "I will leave my dolls so you can see them and you won't be so lonesome." When she could speak she said, "Yes, leave the dolls. When I look at them I shall think you are near." So the dolls were left in their little beds covered up with their sheets and quilts just as I always put them to sleep. We all ate our dinner together. It was a sad, silent meal. Mr. Crane and Elizabeth were charged over and over again to take good care of me if I should be sick. They promised to do all they could for me. Mr. Crane said, "I shall take care of your child as if she were my own." I said to John.

He said, "I guess I will have to take your father and mother with me as you children will all be gone. "Well John, be sure you take little dog Prince and all the dolls. Don't leave them here alone." The whistle blew, good-byes were said, mother caught me in her arms with one last long kiss and "God bless you, my child." Mr. Crane and Elizabeth with brother hurried to the boat, John and father coming as the captain shouted "all aboard." Father kissed me, saying, "Be a good girl, come home in the spring and God bless you." {{ph|ON BOARD STEAMER MICHIGAN.}} My hand slipped from his into Elizabeth's. She led me over the gang-plank. My little dog had followed me. He put his paws upon my shoulder and was licking the tears off my face. Father called to him, but he would not leave me. The men carried him to father, the plank was pulled in, the paddles turned and we steamed away with those on the dock waving us good-by. Elizabeth took me up on deck where brother and I stood waving as long as we could see the old home where we had all been so happy together. We soon reached the harbor, we landed at the Point dock to take freight. Mr. McKinley had taken his family the trip before and gone to Ohio for the winter, his clerk taking charge of the business in his absence. His father, grandpa McKinley as we called him, came on board to go away for the winter. He was always so kind to us children and we all loved him.

We steamed away and soon could see nothing about us, as it was snowing and the sea was heavy. Our boat rolled and pitched about so no one could stand upon their feet. Jane, the cabin maid, took me to her private cabin and let me lie on her couch. As I lay there I began to realize I was leaving my home. It was dark, the lamps were lighted and I said, "Oh I must go home. I can't leave father and mother." Elizabeth took me to her room, putting me in her berth. There I sobbed myself to sleep. {{ph|AT MACKINAC ISLAND.}} When I awakened we were at the dock at Mackinac Island. Everything was white with snow. The whole island looked like white marble. The damp snow had covered the trees. The fort on the hill looked so pretty where the snow was on the tops of the houses and chimneys. A flag waved over the fort. There were soldiers in their blue clothes walking up and down the fort hill. Dogs and ponies hitched to sleds with people dressed in fur coats, caps and mittens riding along the front street that reached round the pretty bay. The dock was full of people. Men, women and children nearly all speaking in French. There were a number of families going away on the last boat to their winter homes. Elizabeth took me ashore. We went into several stores and there I met old grandpa. I told him I was going to see Charley.

Then he gave me packages of candy, apples and raisins. I met several that knew me, as they were so often with us at home. We walked down to the Mission House, as mother had told me so much about the Mission. When Mr. Ferry was there mother had attended the Mission school for a time. We saw Robinson's Folly with the white snow covering the rocks and trees. We then came back to the old Mission Church, and going inside I told Elizabeth my mother had often taken me there when I was a baby. I showed her the Dousman pew in front where the family used to sit, my mother being adopted by Mr. and Mrs. Dousman. We then came to the "Old Agency House" with its quaint old chimney outside at the end, its little dormer windows in the roof. It was now all covered with the pure white snow and every shrub around its doors was draped in white. We passed on, going toward the Grand, many little houses covered with cedar bark and some had cedar bark put all around the outside, with narrow strips of wood tacked on to hold it. Some had little square windows with four and six panes of glass with white muslin curtains. They looked like little toy houses, but were warm and comfortable. It was a quaint little village full of jolly, kind hearted people whose hearts were tender and true to their neighbors. It being cold we soon went back to the boat. Our boat looked like a huge snow bank beside the<noinclude></noinclude> b4srgib7boq8bbf7nyx90l3kntusk1x Author:Lorna Hearst 102 4848295 15136228 2025-06-15T02:24:33Z EncycloPetey 3239 Created page with "{{author | firstname = Lorna | lastname = Hearst | last_initial = He | description = co-author of the biography of Gertrude Bell }} ==Works== * ''[[Gertrude Bell (1940)|Gertrude Bell]]'', with [[Author:Ronald Bodley|Ronald Bodley]] (1940) {{ssl|Gertrude Bell (1940).pdf}} <!-- copyright not renewed --> {{PD-US|1991}} {{PD-US-no-renewal}} {{authority control}}" 15136228 wikitext text/x-wiki {{author | firstname = Lorna | lastname = Hearst | last_initial = He | description = co-author of the biography of Gertrude Bell }} ==Works== * ''[[Gertrude Bell (1940)|Gertrude Bell]]'', with [[Author:Ronald Bodley|Ronald Bodley]] (1940) {{ssl|Gertrude Bell (1940).pdf}} <!-- copyright not renewed --> {{PD-US|1991}} {{PD-US-no-renewal}} {{authority control}} asvmcv9vmegrg7pt4qlnv5nxog9j0fy 15136231 15136228 2025-06-15T02:25:15Z EncycloPetey 3239 15136231 wikitext text/x-wiki {{author | firstname = Lorna | lastname = Hearst | last_initial = He | description = co-author of the biography of Gertrude Bell }} ==Works== * ''[[Gertrude Bell (1940)|Gertrude Bell]]'', with [[Author:Ronald Bodley|Ronald Bodley]] (1940) {{ssl|Gertrude Bell (1940).pdf}} <!-- copyright not renewed --> {{PD-US-no-renewal}} {{authority control}} j9p9ixe7xahr0qe5431h490qdr67ef6 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/118 104 4848296 15136230 2025-06-15T02:25:14Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136230 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|106|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>dock. The freight was being rolled over the plank and all was confusion. There were handshakes and good-byes as the people hurried over the plank. The "all aboard" was shouted, the plank was pulled in, the paddles turned and we were moving away amid the waving of caps and fluttering of handkerchiefs. Our whistle was saluting, and many of the people on the dock joined in one of the old French-Canadian glee or boat songs, their voices sounding far out over the waters as we passed Round Island. {{ph|ON LAKE HURON.}} For a short time we watched the white island covered with snow. It soon set in thick again and the snow came down in blinding sheets with a cold wind. Our boat rocked and tumbled about. We were now out on Lake Huron in a heavy snow storm. Our captain and sailors were dressed in their warm fur coats. Every turn of the paddles was taking me farther from home, and soon such a longing came over me which I could not shake off. I wanted to go home. Elizabeth and my brother tried their best to comfort me, telling me I was going to see brother Charley; but nothing could make me feel better. Brother tried to have me eat something, but I could not. My chin quivered, I tried so hard not to cry, I ran to my room, throwing myself on my bed, trying hard to keep the tears back. Soon Mr. Crane came with a big doll he bought for me at Mackinac Island and grandpa McKinley came to see me, taking me in his arms and rocking me in one of Jane's chairs.

He was a dear white haired old man. He told me some droll stories that made me laugh. Then I told him I was going to see my brother Charley and that I was homesick, and if I didn't get better soon I was going to ask the captain to turn the boat and take me back to Beaver Island. The storm grew worse, the seas ran higher, the snow was blinding and all things had to be made secure on the boat. No one but the sailors could walk about. Any that tried would be thrown down. The only way they could move about was to creep on their hands and knees. Sometimes our boat was high on the waves, when it seemed every timber in her would be broken. She trembled and then sank way down, where it seemed we would be buried in the foaming waters. {{ph|CROSSING SAGINAW BAY.}} We were now crossing Saginaw Bay in a blinding snow storm. The whistle was blowing almost constantly, and once we heard another quite close to us. Women and children were crying in their state-rooms, others were groaning in fear and sickness. Our boat was creaking and tossing, sometimes on her side, when it seemed she would never rise again. Sailors were running on the deck and orders were shouted by the captain. Water was splashing into the cabins, glass was broken from the windows, and cabin boys were hurrying about nailing up blankets. Dishes were smashing as they fell from the lockers.

She had been telling me about her home, mother, sisters and brothers. How they were waiting and watching for them to come home, saying, "I know my mother is praying for us." Then I said. "And we must pray, pray awful hard, because my father, mother and John said if I was in trouble God would hear me and help me, and I guess I will pray for our boat to be saved." Elizabeth said, "Yes child, pray for us all." And I am sure God heard the feeble prayer I made as I told him how sorry everybody would be if our dear old Michigan steamboat went down. I felt no fear through all the storm. I said to Elizabeth, "Now we must go to sleep." She kissed me, saying, "Dear child, what a comfort you are to me." We were cold and wet in our berths and now the boat seemed pitching and tossing another way. Her head would go down so far it seemed she would pitch over head first. Many were screaming in the cabins. Mr. Crane with my brother and William were on the cabin floor near our door. Our door had to be tied back to keep from slamming.

Oh the praying and the screaming was terrible; but in the midst of all I went sound to sleep. When I awoke our boat was still. We had weathered the gale. {{ph|AT PRESQUE ISLE DOCK.}} There was tramping of feet and scraping of shovels. I was sure we had run aground. Brother soon told us we were safe at Presque Isle dock. Oh how glad we felt! Brother said hurry and dress so you can get out on deck and look at our boat. She is a sight to look at. We were soon on the dock looking at our boat covered with snow and ice. One could never have imagined it was a boat that lay there. It was like a big ice berg. Her spar was so covered with ice it looked like a great tree. Our boat was a side wheel steamer with a walking beam. Capt. Newberry was owner and master. He said to his mates, "Boys, when this old steamer of ours can weather such a gale she can go through anything." People came running down to the dock to see the steamer as the news spread. We laid there two days and nights to clear the snow and ice off and make some repairs so she could go to Buffalo to lay up for the winter. Brother Lewis said he could not tell how many barrels of salt were used on that trip to keep the boat from sinking with ice. Our ears were tired hearing the shovels scraping the snow and ice for the rest of the trip. {{ph|AT DETROIT AND CLEVELAND.}} Our passengers began to feel better that the great storm was over and again we were moving.<noinclude></noinclude> kr2okfjw9oye6y7cd4lud2p3er7b8yy Page:Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 (ASP 2001-10 qp).pdf/119 104 4848301 15136238 2025-06-15T02:28:47Z Penguin1737 3062038 /* Without text */ 15136238 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="0" user="Penguin1737" /></noinclude><noinclude></noinclude> ru47oh6ingzx6wkvojly7sgvqohfm1u Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/122 104 4848302 15136239 2025-06-15T02:29:18Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136239 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|110|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>Many were to leave the boat at Detroit, as some were to cross over to the Canada side. At Detroit we remained for some time, our Captain's home being there. Mr. Crane, Elizabeth, William, Lewis and I went ashore. Mr. Crane bought me some red morocco shoes and a pretty red silk hood to match my red cloak. We had not many passengers after we left Detroit, and again the sea was rough with a heavy rain storm. When we reached Cleveland we again went ashore, walking about the city all morning, and in the afternoon Mr. Crane took a carriage and we drove about the city, seeing many handsome residences, but they could not get me to say anything I saw was nicer to me than my island home. That night there was a gale on Lake Erie so our boat laid in port. I was still homesick and the tears would come often, though I tried to keep them back. My brother Lewis was to leave us here at Cleveland, as this was where he was going to school. After he left us I was very lonely. {{ph|TRYING TO BE HAPPY.}} Elizabeth said, "Now my dear child you must have patience. Spring will soon be here and we will take you home again. So now, have patience." All day long after she talked to me I kept repeating every little while, "Patience, patience; have patience." I did not know its meaning. At last I asked her what it meant. She tried to explain to me it meant not to worry, not to fret, to be quiet and wait, try to be happy, sing when I wanted to cry, and be cheerful and not give up to sadness.

How much I needed that lesson before my face was again turned homeward! I did not cry any more. I told Elizabeth my heart was getting too big and I was sure it would burst. When I felt so bad and it was hard to keep the tears back I took my doll Jane (I had named her after the dear, kind cabin maid) in my arms, rocking and singing some of my old French songs my mother had taught me. When Elizabeth looked at me I said, "Now I am getting patience." Soon the captain came in, saying, "Is this the little girl that is homesick?" I said, "Oh no, I'm not homesick any more. I have got patience." He laughed heartily. Elizabeth explained to him what I meant. He said, "No don't you get homesick any more. I will take you home next April on this old steamboat of mine. So get all the patience you can." {{ph|ON THE HEADLANDS.}} At nine o'clock that evening we reached Fairport. It had been raining hard and the night was dark. We were ready to leave the boat. Jane, the cabin maid kissed me many times, saying, "Now my dear child try not to be homesick and we hope to meet you in the spring and take you home with us." We stepped ashore, it seemed to me the dock was moving from under us, we had been over a week on the boat. Elizabeth was soon with her brothers and sisters who had come to meet her.

Next morning after breakfast we crossed over the river on the scow ferry, where we were met by Mr. Crane's carriage and we drove to their home on the Headlands. There Mrs. Crane was standing in her door to meet her husband and children. After all had greeted their father and mother, Mrs. Crane with the rest of the family gave me a kind welcome and I felt quite happy with them. Their nearest neighbor was Mr. Alexander Snell. He had been to Beaver Island and knew my parents. Mrs. Snell and everybody was very kind to the little "Island Girl," as I was called. Her sister, Mrs. Wright, was our neighbor at home. Mr. Crane's youngest child was a girl of five years, and a boy named Charley eight, so we children had great fun hunting hen's eggs in the big barn. After one week one bright morning Mr. Crane took me in the carriage to Painesville to my new home. We crossed the Grand river at Fairport, then took the old plank road to Painesville. How the horses' hoofs did clatter as we drove on a fast trot! We stopped at the turn of the road, where Mr. Crane had two sisters living. Their house was on a pretty knoll on the right as we drove into Painesville. We had dinner with Mrs. Matthews. The other sister was a maiden lady called by the children "Aunt Margaret."

The Business Executives' Move for Vietnam Peace filed a complaint with the FCC, alleging that a broadcaster had violated the First Amendment by refusing to sell it time to broadcast spot announcements expressing the group's views on the Vietnam conflict and that the station's coverage of antiwar views did not meet the requirements of the [[w:Fairness doctrine|Fairness Doctrine]]. The FCC rejected the Fairness Doctrine challenge and ruled that a broadcaster was not prohibited from having a policy of refusing to accept paid editorial advertisements by individuals and organizations like respondents. The Court of Appeals reversed, holding that "a flat ban on paid public issue announcements is in violation of the First Amendment, at least when other sorts of paid announcements are accepted," and remanded the causes to the FCC to develop regulations governing which, and how many, editorial announcements would be aired. ''Held:'' Neither the Communications Act nor the First Amendment requires broadcasters to accept paid editorial advertisements. Pp. 101-114; 121-170. 146 U.S. App. D.C. 181, 450 F.2d 642, reversed. MR. CHIEF JUSTICE BURGER delivered the opinion of the Court with respect to Parts I, II, and IV, finding that: :1. The basic criterion governing use of broadcast frequencies is the right of the public to be informed; the manner by which this interest is best served is dispositive of the respondents' statutory and First Amendment contentions. Pp. 101-114. ::(a) In evaluating respondents' claims, great weight must be afforded the decisions of Congress and the experience of the FCC. Pp. 101-103. ::(b) Congress has consistently rejected efforts to impose on broadcasters a "common carrier" right of access for all persons wishing to speak out on public issues. Instead, it reposed in the FCC regulatory authority by which the Fairness Doctrine was evolved to require that the broadcaster's coverage of important public issues must be adequate and must fairly reflect differing viewpoints; thus, no private individual or group has a right to command the use of broadcast facilities. Pp. 103-114. :2. The "public interest" standard of the Communications Act, which incorporates First Amendment principles, does not require broadcasters to accept editorial advertisements. Pp. 121-131. ::(a) The FCC was justified in concluding that the public interest in having access to the marketplace of "ideas and experiences" would not be served by ordering a right of access to advertising time. There is substantial risk that such a system would be monopolized by those who could and would pay the costs, that the effective operation of the Fairness Doctrine itself would be undermined, and that the public accountability which now rests with the broadcaster would be diluted. Pp. 121-125. ::(b) The difficult problems involved in implementing an absolute right of access would inevitably implicate the FCC in a case-by-case determination of who should be heard and when, thus enlarging the involvement of the Government in broadcasting operations. The FCC could properly take into account the fact that listeners and viewers constitute a kind of "captive audience" and that the public interest requires that a substantial degree of journalistic discretion must remain with broadcasters. Pp. 126-130. THE CHIEF JUSTICE, joined by MR. JUSTICE STEWART and MR. JUSTICE REHNQUIST, concluded, in Part III, that a broadcast licensee's refusal to accept a paid editorial advertisement does not constitute "governmental action" for First Amendment purposes. The Government is neither a "partner" to the action complained of nor engaged in a "symbiotic relationship" with the licensee. Pp. 114-121. :(a) Under the Communications Act a broadcast licensee is vested with substantial journalistic discretion in deciding how to meet its statutory obligations as a "public trustee." Pp. 114-117. :(b) The licensee's policy against accepting editorial advertising is compatible with the Communications Act and with the broadcaster's obligation to provide a balanced treatment of controversial questions. Pp. 118-121. :(c) The FCC has not fostered the licensee policy against accepting editorial advertisements; it has merely declined to command acceptance because the subject was a matter within the area of journalistic discretion.

Tell the Old Man what’s happened here, and see if they’ve found Andrews.” “Andrews?” Rolly asked as Mickey headed for the phone. “What’s the matter with him?” “Nothing that I know of; only we haven’t been able to find him to tell him Mrs. Collinson has been rescued.

We went outside and asked all the people we could find all the questions we could think of. None of the answers led anywhere, except to repeated assurance that the bomb hadn’t been chucked through the window. We found six people who had been in sight of that side of the hotel immediately before, and at the time of, the explosion; and none of them had seen anything that could be twisted into bearing on the bomb-throwing. Mickey came away from the phone with the information that Aaronia Haldorn, when released from the city prison, had gone to the home of a family named Jeffries in San Mateo, and had been there ever since;<noinclude></noinclude> p7gej4ic2kk45dtywsepd84283hmkbj Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/126 104 4848384 15136406 2025-06-15T03:55:56Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136406 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|114|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>home. I will come every week to see you." Turning to Mrs. Shepard, he said, "If this child gets sick let me know." He bent down and kissed me, the tears falling fast from his eyes, he bowed to Mrs. Shepard and hurried away. The last link that reminded me of my island home was gone. Oh it was terrible! I tried to run after him to call him back. I wanted to say come back, come back and take me to your home. I could not speak, I could not move, never while life lasts can I forget how I felt when I saw Mr. Crane driving away in the carriage. I was among entire strangers in a strange land. A child of seven and a half years of age. The lady said, "Come to the fire you must be cold." She then took my cloak and hood. I sat down in a little chair. She went about the house at her work, never speaking to me. All was silent and quiet. In a little while the two little children, one a boy of three, the other a year old, just walking, came to me. The oldest brought me some toys and put in my hands, never speaking. Then the youngest came and put his little face up to mine. I kissed him, which seemed to please him, and soon I took him on my lap, where he soon fell asleep, while the other child was sitting quietly beside me on the floor playing with his toys. The lady took the child and laid him on the bed saying, "Do you like children?" I answered, "Yes Ma'm." It was the first word I had spoken since I entered the house. She took her sewing and never spoke. Oh how long the time seemed! I cannot tell how I felt.

At last she put her sewing away and began the supper. Then the lights were lit; the baby had wakened and I again took him in my arms. The other child stood close beside me. {{ph|MR. MILTON A. SHEPARD.}} Soon the door opened and a man came in. The children cried, "Papa." He kissed the children saying, "Who is this little girl?" His wife told him, "This is the little island girl we expected." He took my hand, saying, "I am glad to see you, But wife what a little midget she is." He was a kind looking man with black hair and eyes. Supper was on the table. I was placed near the children. I tried to eat, but I could not swallow. The food stuck in my throat. Mr. Shepard noticed I did not eat, so he asked me if I would like some milk. I answered, "Yes, sir." Mrs. Shepard told him there was none only what the children had. I said. "Never mind," but little Henry gave me his cup full. I managed to drink it. When the meal was over I asked if I should do the dishes. "Not tonight, but tomorrow," she said. Mr. Shepard asked me a few questions about my island home, which was the only time in all my stay that my home or my parents were ever mentioned to me. {{ph|HOMESICK.}} I was put to bed upstairs alone in a room. The first time in my life I was ever alone at night, but I was not afraid, only homesick.

My thoughts went back to my home on the island. I could see my pets, father, mother and John sitting around the table, mother sewing, John reading, and the tears would come in spite of all my efforts to keep them back. Then I thought about what Elizabeth said to me that I must have patience, yes I must not cry and I would soon see brother Charley. I would ask Mr. Shepard in the morning about my brot ier. Then I whispered so low to Jane, telling her it was naughty to cry and complain, and that we must pray God to help us, asking her if she had forgotten the big storm when we were on the lake. In talking to my doll I fell asleep and only awoke when Mr. Shepard was building the fire in the morning. I was soon dressed and was down stairs, where I began dressing the children, and always after that I took care of them. The dear children, how they loved me and I loved them! Never once were they cross to me, and I hope I never was to them. Of course I could not comb my hair. It was long and heavy. Mrs. Shepard did it for me. I helped her with the dishes and soon learned how she did her work. She was very neat and her home was always in order. By standing on a little stool I could reach the dishes on the pantry shelves and soon could do the dishes alone and help about the other work. {{ph|GOING TO SCHOOL IN THE LITTLE RED SCHOOL HOUSE.}} The next week I was sent to school in the little red school house.

She and her mother lived near the school house in a little vine covered cottage. I was very happy in school. Mr. Shepard heard my lessons in the evenings so he could see what progress I made. Mr. and Mrs. Shepard had both been teachers. The Christmas time was saddest for me, for then I missed my home the most. {{ph|MEETING BROTHER CHARLEY.}} I was in Painesville over a month before I saw my brother Charley. He came one day and staid to dinner. I could scarcely believe it was he, he had grown so tall and seemed such a little man. After dinner we took the children on the sled and went to Mr. Shepard's shop where he made the wagons. Then we went down the bank to the river, At four o'clock he must start for home. I wanted him to stay all night, but he said he could not. The time came all too soon for him to go and with many promises to come again we bade good-by and he was gone. For days afterward I wondered "had I dreamed he was there or was it a reality." I never saw him again while I remained. One morning soon after when Mrs. Shepard was combing my hair she took the shears and cut it off short. My heart was broken. She said, "I can't be troubled with your long hair every morning." Mr. Shepard was sorry, but said, "Never mind. it will grow again," which comforted me because I feared it would always be short like the Mormon women's hair. Mrs. Shepard had a<noinclude></noinclude> 4zwrloz0wm4v2gmu0ndmzri82vrmyx9 Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/130 104 4848388 15136410 2025-06-15T04:00:58Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136410 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|118|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>niece boarding with her. She liked to tease me, telling me it would never grow again. Every Sabbath I went to church and always had my verse learned for my Sabbath school teacher. One morning on my way to school I met Mr. Peter McKinley. He lived in a large house near our school. He was very glad to see me. To me it seemed like seeing some one from home. Mr. Crane came every week to see me, but I never saw him. Sometimes I was at school, twice I was in the house upstairs with the children but never knew he was there until he was gone. Spring was drawing near and I wondered if I ever would see Mr. Crane and go home. One day Mr. and Mrs. Shepard left home and went to Willoughby. Her niece kept house and I helped her take care of the children. They were gone two days. The front door was always locked and I was told not to go to the door if anyone came. Once when I was on the street I saw Elizabeth Crane and her sister driving. They knew me and I knew them, but they were out of sight so quick I had not time to speak to them. Mr. and Mrs. Shepard came home. They began to pack their goods. Once I said. "Are you going away?" She said, "Yes, we are going to move to Willoughby." {{ph|A CHILD'S PRAYER.}} All that night I lay awake. I knew then they intended to move and take me with them, and then I would never see my father and mother again.<noinclude></noinclude> qcxcvmrvj9ja06vnmgg5id5bop7fzxz Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/131 104 4848389 15136411 2025-06-15T04:01:59Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136411 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|119|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>My heart was heavy, and all night I kept praying that God would help me to go to my own home. Mrs. Shepard had a sister living near, and next day I went to her, telling her I had not seen Mr. Crane and I feared I was to be taken away to another place and would never see my people again. She was a dear, kind lady, and she said, "I will see my sister about this," and she came right home with me. She talked with her sister for a long time. I did not hear their conversation, only I saw Mrs. Shepard was displeased. When Mrs. Robinson left she kissed me. I saw tears in her eyes. She had been so kind to me all winter. It was the one bright spot in that winter's life for me. The next morning we were to start for Willoughby. As I went to my room my heart was heavy with trouble. I took my doll Jane, telling her my sorrows and fears, but somehow Jane could not comfort me. I said to her, "It is because you don't know anything about my people. You have never been to Beaver Island." The moon was shining bright into my room. I lay a long time thinking and saying, "Oh, what shall I do!" I got out of bed and knelt beside it praying as I had never prayed before. I told God all about my sorrows, saying, "Oh won't you help me and take me home to my father?" My heart felt lighter. With Jane in my arms I lay me down to sleep and never wakened until Mr. Shepard called. We hurried our breakfast. Mrs. Shepard appeared nervous. My heart felt lighter than it had for many a day and I kept listening for carriage<noinclude></noinclude> 9w3mqltngpu36fz60dll5craega7bwy Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/132 104 4848390 15136412 2025-06-15T04:03:23Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136412 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|120|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>wheels which I felt sure would come. One load of goods had gone to the depot, the dray had just left the door with another and there were just a few things left for the last load. Our wraps lay on a chair. {{ph|A CHILD'S PRAYER ANSWERED.}} Mr. Shepard had gone to the post-office. A carriage drove up and stopped before our door. A lady came quickly in. I looked and saw it was Aunt Margaret, Mr. Crane's sister. I threw my arms about her, saying, "I am so glad to see you. Will you take me home?" She said, "Do you want to go?" "Yes, I want to go." She turned to Mrs. Shepard saying, "I see you are moving. I am Mr. Crane's sister. He was not able to see this child this winter. He sent me as the time is drawing near when my brother returns to the Island. He promised this child's father to bring her back if she wants to go." Mrs. Shepard told her she would have no interference and would keep me. "No." said Aunt Margaret, "Your letter reads the child could go home and come again if all was agreeable. And she says she wants to go and I shall take her. Elizabeth get your things on." I just flew I got my trunk, the lady putting it into the carriage. I was following her when Mrs. Shepard said, "Child aren't you going to kiss me and the children?" I put my arms about her neck, kissing her and caught the children in my arms with a hug and a kiss, then ran to the carriage.

He came, saying, "Dear child how I have worried about you. When I saw I could never get to see you I sent sister Margaret and now you can go home on the steamboat Michigan." Oh what a happy child I was! All the sad, gloomy, lonesome days were forgotten. I was going home. Home to my father and mother. Going to my island home. We soon started for the Headlands once again. The horses hoofs clattered over the road to Fairport. We crossed the river, and in a short time were at Mr. Crane's house, where all the family met me with greetings of love. I entered school; Miss Marion Brooks was my teacher. I was at the Headlands three weeks when a letter came from the Captain of the steamboat Michigan to be ready at a certain date to meet the boat at Fairport. Mr. Crane made preparations, and on the date mentioned in the letter we were all in Fairport to take the steamboat. My brother had come from Cleveland. {{ph|HOMEWARD BOUND ON STEAMBOAT MICHIGAN.}} How my heart swelled with joy when I heard the Michigan's whistle and saw the steamer nearing the dock. Mr. Crane's people were sad to have them go, but all was ready, good-byes were said and again the old familiar sound of "all aboard" was heard. We stepped upon the gang-plank.

We reached Cleveland, where several families took passage for the island, some of whom were our boarders of the year before. At Detroit more came on board. Among the rest Mr. and Mrs. Loaney. They had been to Toronto, Canada, for the winter. There were many fishermen returning to the island on this first trip. More would follow later. The weather was fair. Our steamer had been repaired since that terrible trip in December. The Captain said to me, "Little girl did you get lots of patience this winter?" At first I could not remember what he meant. Then it flashed through my mind and I answered, "Yes sir." He said, "Well child, I told you this old steamboat would carry you home and now you will soon be there." Jane was glad to see us all again, the tears ran down her face when I told her how homesick I was and what a comfort my Jane had been to me. It was pleasant enough for us to be on deck after we left Detroit. We stopped at almost every port. Lake Huron was calm and quiet this time with just a ripple on Saginaw Bay, but we could feel the motion of big swells, which sent many to their state rooms. {{ph|AT MACKINAC ISLAND.}} We passed Bois Blanc, and were soon at the dock at Mackinac Island.

The people were all out to greet the first steamboat of the season, it being sometime about the middle of April, 1852, old grandpa being among the rest. He was glad to see us, but sorry Charley was not among us. Again we walked the streets and climbed to the fort. The grass was springing up in the yards, and all nature told us spring had come. There were happy, cheerful smiles on people's faces, children were playing in the sunshine. We had now left the dock and again there was waving and singing on the dock to cheer us on our way. Our boat moved out past Round Island. There were great blocks of drifting ice on every side. Near the little island of St. Helena we almost stopped to keep clear of the ice. We steamed past Hog Island, with little Hat Island looking white with ice packed about it. Over to the northward was all ice, which had not yet broken to drift. We soon were at the McKinley dock at the harbor; freight was taken on for Green Bay, again the "all aboard" was called and we steamed along past Big Sand Bay. We could see all the little homes that would soon be occupied by summer people. {{ph|HOME AGAIN.}} Brother and I saw our home, with father, mother and John standing in the door. We waved to them; they saw and answered. Our boat was landed: father and John were there to meet us with other friends.

Ah well, the home coming was almost worth the waiting for. As soon as I had greeted father and John I ran up the dock for home, my little dog chasing after me. I met Mr. Cable hurrying down. As I ran past without stopping, he said, "Aren't you going to shake hands?" "Oh yes, but I am in such a hurry to get home." I answered. Oh the joy to be once more at home! I took both hands and dashed the water up into my face as I ran along the shore to our house. The sound of the waves seemed welcoming me home. I looked back once toward the boat and saw father with Elizabeth and the rest coming. I ran almost breathless into the house saying, "Mother I have come home." She hurried toward me saying, "Charley." Then she caught at the back of a chair. Her face was so pale I thought she would fall, and I gave her water to drink. She kissed me with her eyes full of tears. I whispered, "No, Charley has not come." The rest came in. Mr. Crane's people were to stay with us until their house was ready. We were a happy family around our table at supper time. I was now home and yet there was a sadness about it. We were not all together as we once had been. Father and mother had grown thin and pale.

And she told me how anxious she was about a sick neighbor she was caring for, saying, "I shall depend on you, Elizabeth, to help me, and I want you to be careful never to repeat anything we talk about. There is much trouble among the Mormons themselves. Strang has been gone all winter, and some of the apostles refuse to obey the laws of polygamy. There are spies all about us and the Mormons are not our friends any more." I promised her I would be careful. She said, "Mr. Sinclair is afraid of his life, as he knows he may be made an example of for refusing to obey Strang's laws. I have many things to think about and do for this sick woman. And I want to tell you something else. Elizabeth Crane is going to be married in June. Charles Angel will come after her. Then her home will be in Saginaw and her sister Jennie will come in her place to keep house for her father. So now do not worry Elizabeth about anything, for she has lots of sewing and we must help her all we can." Life was busy; our summer people were with us. Elizabeth Crane had left us never to return. Mr. Angel and she were married at Mackinac Island. When the boat came back her sister Jennie, a beautiful girl of nineteen, came to remain until fall, when she, too, married Mr. James Corlette of the Headlands.

They made their camp near us. Mother went to see them. When she came home she told us they were Menominee Indians come to fish for a time. They had been over to Cross Village visiting some friends. Their home was in Green Bay county. There were two small children, the Indian and his wife. The Indian woman was a pretty woman with jet black hair cut straight across the forehead, this being the fashion with Menominee squaws. Their wigwam was always nice and clean. She was a nice sewer, piecing pretty bed quilts, which always looked clean. Often when mother got in a hurry with her work she hired the Indian woman to scrub and wash, and other times to do some sewing. She was always smiling, showing her pretty white teeth. One morning when I awoke I found father and Mr. Dora, a neighbor, had gone to Mackinac Island. They were gone about three days. When they came home father had clothing for mother which Mr. Cable did not keep in his store. Among the rest was a great quantity of bright colored glass beads and many yards of colored ribbon, which she put away in her trunk, saying to me, "Do not speak about what I have put away." Mother and the Indian woman were often together speaking softly, so I never knew what they said.<noinclude></noinclude> gmyfk3353pcn0qihtdvb7p99ba9opkg He Who Gets Slapped (Zilboorg) 0 4848404 15136440 2025-06-15T04:14:46Z EncycloPetey 3239 Redirected page to [[He Who Gets Slapped (Zilboorg 1949)]] 15136440 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT[[He Who Gets Slapped (Zilboorg 1949)]] re5lp1lilu364tjfrzd73edo07v94nz Page:A Child of the Sea and Life Among the Mormons.djvu/140 104 4848405 15136441 2025-06-15T04:15:17Z Eievie 2999977 /* Proofread */ 15136441 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Eievie" />{{rvh|128|''LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.''|''A CHILD OF THE SEA; AND''}}</noinclude>Mother seemed anxious, and the Indian woman also seemed quiet and thoughtful. Soon after father's return mother said to me, "Elizabeth I want you to let all your other work alone and string beads for me." I was delighted, for if there was anything I loved to do it was to string the pretty colored beads. So I began at once, each color on a strong thread. After stringing a great quantity in this way, then I made many strings in different colors, mixing the beads. As much as I enjoyed it I got very tired, and whenever I went to the camp the little Indian children were stringing beads and their mother was sewing, making deerskin moccasins, on which she sewed the beads, which were so pretty when finished. She made many pairs of them. Sometimes the Indian woman came to our house, helping mother and me to string the beads, which she did so fast, and talked so pleasantly in her own language, mother speaking her language as well as the other tribes' that lived around us. There were several camps of Chippewa Indians that lived along the shore that helped the fishermen clean their fish, and the women made oil from the fish refuse which sold for one dollar a gallon or more, according to quality. Most of these Indians came from Garden Island. {{ph|THE ROBBERS' DEN.}} Our Mormon friends who used to come to our house did not come any more.

Everybody was anxious to know what the king would do about his people when he came back. Many of the Mormons believed Strang would take no notice of the refusal of some of his elders to practice polygamy, while others thought that the man who hoped to have Strang's place would influence him to make them suffer the penalty, which the Mormons themselves told us was death, this elder contending severe measures was the only way to enforce obedience to the law. Having already organized a band of forty thieves, these men were being trained to go out and do all the robbing from the Gentiles they saw fit to do. The two men who headed the band were brothers and were large and powerful men, Isaac and John Pierce. They were well suited to do such work. The place they chose to secrete their stolen goods was a long point at the lower end of Beaver Island, distant about three miles from the harbor. This place was called by them "Rocky Mountain Point." Being an out-of-the-way place they would not be seen secreting much of their plunder. {{ph|WAKING AND SEEING INDIANS IN MY ROOM.}} One night I was awakened out of a sound sleep by hearing footsteps in the room.

Her moccasins were trimmed with pretty beads, and many strings of bright colored beads were about her neck, and I thought she must be a princess, the daughter of a chief. She and the Indian walked about the room several times, while mother and the Menominee woman spoke to them in their language, they answering in the same. I saw father nod and smile, at which they all took. up parcels and small bundles from the table and walked out in single file. {{ph|DEPARTURE OF THE INDIANS.}} I waited some little time, and hearing nothing I got frightened, thinking father and mother had gone away and left me, I got up, ran out of doors and met mother. She took a blanket from my bed, saying, "Come Elizabeth and see the Menominee Indians, they are going away. They must go home and see to their crops and cannot stay here any longer." I said, "Where did the other two come from?" She made a quick motion, putting her hand over her mouth, which I understood was to be silent and ask no questions. We were both speaking in French.

The tall sick Indian got in first, seating himself and smoking his pipe, then the young Indian woman followed, then the Indian and his wife. There were many "bou shou's" (good-byes) spoken in subdued tones. The Indian and his wife took the paddles, father gave one hard push and away sped the bark canoe over the blue water. The sky was just getting red in the east, little birds were twittering in the branches of the trees, we all stood watching the fast receding canoe, which soon looked a speck upon the water. I ran to the house and crept into bed, and when I awakened the sun was high. I asked mother where the Indians were now; she answered, "They are far away." All day she seemed cheerful, and I heard her sing for the first time since I came home from Ohio. I wandered down to the Indian camp and all I saw was just a few marks where the wigwams had stood. No rubbish was lying about. They had vanished as if they had never been. Surely "They had folded their tents like the Arabs and as silently stole away." {{ph|THE APOSTLE AND HIS FAMILY AMONG THE INDIANS.}} It was eight years afterward when I learned just who it was that stole away on that quiet morning in the bark canoe.

She had come there from Baltimore for her health. As we sat at our quilting in the afternoon, one of the women asked the lady of the house why it was they had settled there near the Menominee Indian reservation, and if they were not afraid to be killed sometime by the Indians. Then the lady of the house explained and told her story of how her husband, herself and children had been saved by one family of these Indians with the help of a white family, and this was why her husband was devoting his time to preaching among the Indians. I, being a stranger in the place, had not met this family before, but had been invited to their home with others. Before she had finished I seemed to understand it all. I knew now what all the beads and bright colored ribbons were used for and I knew who the tall sick Indian was with the pretty young Indian woman and the two little children with the others in the canoe. When I made myself known to the lady and her family they were overjoyed to see me. I met them several times afterward, and she told me how they crossed over to the north shore and kept along close to the shore, camping many times where the Indian and his wife set their net and caught all the fish they needed to eat, all the time teaching them to speak their language. They did not go direct to the Indian settlement until fall, then her husband concluded to settle among them and act as a missionary to them.

Then they felt very sad on her account and asked each other, “What shall we do about her?” They thought of all kinds of schemes, and at last hit upon a plan. Then they went home, filled a bladder full of blood, and went out to the halibut fishing ground. The elder brother let his younger brother down on a line, but before he got far he lost his breath and had to be pulled up. So the elder brother prepared himself. He put on his sister's dress, took his knife and the bladder full of blood, and got safely to the bottom. When he arrived there he found himself in front of a house. Some one came out to look and then said to the chief inside, &quot;Has your wife come out to see you?&quot; They thought it was the dead woman. So the halibut chief said, &quot;Tell her to come in,&quot; and he married her. At this time the friends of the young man were vainly endeavoring to catch halibut, and he could see their hooks. Instead of coming into the houses these would fall around on the outside. They tried all kinds of hooks of native manufacture, but the only one that succeeded was Raven-backbone-hook (Yel-tu dAq!e), which came right in through the smoke hole. After a while the halibut chief said, &quot;Let us go and take a sweat bath.&quot; [Frater autem puellae mortuae semper secum portabat vesicam cruore plenam, quo ungebat extrema vestem qua indutus erat, ut rhombum deciperet, dicens, &quot;Mensibus affectus sum; noli mihi appropinquare.&quot;] That night, as soon as the halibut chief was asleep, the man took his knife, cut the chief s head off and ran outside with it. Every body in the town was asleep. Then he jerked on his brother s line, and his brother pulled him up along with the head. After that they paddled along shore for some time, and on the way the elder brother kept shooting at ducks with his arrows. Fi nally he hit one and took it into the canoe. It was shivering, and his brother said, &quot;Look at this little duck. It is dying of cold. I wish you were by my father s camp fire.&quot; On account of these bad words the canoe went straight down into the ocean. Arrived at the bottom, they saw a long town, and some one said, &quot;Get out of the canoe and come up.&quot; Then the duck led them up into the house of his grandfather, the killer whale for the killer whale is grandfather to the duck and a big fire was built for them. Then they seated the brothers close to this and said, &quot;Do you think it is only your father who has a big fire?&quot; After they were so badly burned that their heads were made to turn backward with the heat, they were thrown outside.

The elder of the two was a fine handsome creature, who had a pleasant manner and made many friends. The animal he saw most of was a hyena; and one day, when they were taking a walk together, they picked up a beautiful green cloak, which had evidently been dropped by some one riding across the plain on a camel. Of course each wanted to have it, and they almost quarrelled over the matter; but at length it was settled that the hyena should wear the cloak by day and the jackal by night. After a little while, however, the jackal became discontented with this arrangement, declaring that none of his friends, who were quite different from those of the hyena, could see the splendour of the mantle, and that it was only fair that he should sometimes be allowed to wear it by day. To this the hyena would by no means consent, and they were on the eve of a quarrel when the hyena proposed that they should ask the lion to judge between them. The jackal agreed to this, and the hyena wrapped the cloak about him, and they both trotted off to the lion’s den. The jackal, who was fond of talking, at once told the story; and when it was finished the lion turned to the hyena and asked if it was true. ‘Quite true, your majesty,’ answered the hyena. ‘Then lay the cloak on the ground at my feet,’ said the lion, ‘and I will give my judgment.’ So the mantle<noinclude></noinclude> pl7a6o4fsl1hfzlrnzbof0yalro6h6u Page:The Orange Fairy Book.djvu/198 104 4848419 15136504 2025-06-15T06:37:54Z TeysaKarlov 3017537 /* Proofread */ 15136504 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TeysaKarlov" />{{rh|168|ADVENTURES OF JACKAL’S ELDEST SON|}}</noinclude>was spread upon the red earth, the hyena and the jackal standing on each side of it. There was silence for a few moments, and then the lion sat up, looking very great and wise. ‘My judgment is that the garment shall belong wholly to whoever first rings the bell of the nearest mosque at dawn to-morrow. Now go; for much business awaits me!’ All that night the hyena sat up, fearing lest the jackal should reach the bell before him, for the mosque was close at hand. With the first streak of dawn he bounded away to the bell, just as the jackal, who had slept soundly all night, was rising to his feet. ‘Good luck to you,’ cried the jackal. And throwing the cloak over his back he darted away across the plain, and was seen no more by his friend the hyena. After running several miles the jackal thought he was safe from pursuit, and seeing a lion and another hyena talking together, he strolled up to join them. ‘Good morning,’ he said; ‘may I ask what is the matter? You seem very serious about something.’ ‘Pray sit down,’ answered the lion. ‘We were wondering in which direction we should go to find the best dinner. The hyena wishes to go to the forest, and I to the mountains. What do you say?’ ‘Well, as I was sauntering over the plain, just now, I noticed a flock of sheep grazing, and some of them had wandered into a little valley quite out of sight of the shepherd.

Then he turned to the jackal and said: ‘How would you divide them?’ ‘Quite differently from the hyena,’ replied the jackal. ‘You will breakfast off the lamb, you will dine off the sheep, and you will sup off the ram.’ ‘Dear me, how clever you are! Who taught you such wisdom?’ exclaimed the lion, looking at him admiringly. ‘The fate of the hyena,’ answered the jackal, laughing, and running off at his best speed; for he saw two men armed with spears coming close behind the lion! The jackal continued to run till at last he could run no longer. He flung himself under a tree panting for breath, when he heard a rustle amongst the grass, and his father’s old friend the hedgehog appeared before him. ‘Oh, is it you?’ asked the little creature; ‘how strange that we should meet so far from home!’ ‘I have just had a narrow escape of my life,’ gasped the jackal, ‘and I need some sleep. After that we must think of something to do to amuse ourselves.’ And he lay down again and slept soundly for a couple of hours. ‘Now I am ready,’ said he; ‘have you anything to propose?’ ‘In a valley beyond those trees,’ answered the hedgehog, ‘there is a small farm-house where the best butter in the world is made. I know their ways, and in an hour’s time the farmer’s wife will be off to milk the cows, which she keeps at some distance.

Then you shall watch, and I will eat.’ ‘That sounds a good plan,’ replied the jackal; and they set off together. But when they reached the farm-house the jackal said to the hedgehog: ‘Go in and fetch the pots of butter, and I will hide them in a safe place.’ ‘Oh no,’ cried the hedgehog, ‘I really couldn’t. They would find out directly! And, besides, it is so different just eating a little now and then.’ ‘Do as I bid you ''at once'',’ said the jackal, looking at the hedgehog so sternly that the little fellow dared say no more, and soon rolled the jars to the window where the jackal lifted them out one by one. When they were all in a row before him he gave a sudden start. ‘Run for your life,’ he whispered to his companion; ‘I see the woman coming over the hill!’ And the hedgehog, his heart beating, set off as fast as he could. The jackal remained where he was, shaking with laughter, for the woman was not in sight at all, and he had only sent the hedgehog away because he did not want him to know where the jars of butter were buried. But every day he stole out to their hiding-place and had a delicious feast. At length, one morning, the hedgehog suddenly said: ‘You never told me what you did with those jars?’ ‘Oh, I hid them safely till the farm people should have forgotten all about them,’ replied the jackal. ‘But as they are still searching for them we must wait a little longer, and then I’ll bring them home, and we will share them between us.’ So the hedgehog waited and waited; but every time he asked if there was no chance of getting the jars of butter the jackal put him off with some excuse. After a while the hedgehog became suspicious, and said: ‘I should like to know where you have hidden them.<noinclude></noinclude> 8u76c0xwdusgex3yrn6q1cqtnlbsbct Page:The Orange Fairy Book.djvu/201 104 4848422 15136510 2025-06-15T06:42:12Z TeysaKarlov 3017537 /* Proofread */ 15136510 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="TeysaKarlov" />{{rh||ADVENTURES OF JACKAL’S ELDEST SON|171}}</noinclude>To-night, when it is quite dark, you shall show me the place.’ ‘I really ''can’t'' tell you,’ answered the jackal. ‘You talk so much that you would be sure to confide the secret to somebody, and then we should have had our trouble for nothing, besides running the risk of our necks being broken by the farmer. I can see that he is getting disheartened, and very soon he will give up the search. Have patience just a little longer.’ The hedgehog said no more, and pretended to be satisfied; but when some days had gone by he woke the jackal, who was sleeping soundly after a hunt which had lasted several hours. ‘I have just had notice,’ remarked the hedgehog, shaking him, ‘that my family wish to have a banquet to-morrow, and they have invited you to it. Will you come?’ ‘Certainly,’ answered the jackal, ‘with pleasure. But as I have to go out in the morning you can meet me on the road.’ ‘That will do very well,’ replied the hedgehog. And the jackal went to sleep again, for he was obliged to be up early. Punctual to the moment the hedgehog arrived at the place appointed for their meeting, and as the jackal was not there he sat down and waited for him. ‘Ah, there you are!’ he cried, when the dusky yellow form at last turned the corner. ‘I had nearly given you up! Indeed, I almost wish you had not come, for I hardly know where I shall hide you.’ ‘Why should you hide me anywhere?’ asked the jackal. ‘What is the matter with you?’ ‘Well, so many of the guests have brought their dogs and mules with them, that I fear it may hardly be safe for you to go amongst them.

Perhaps Fox might lend him. {{di|W}}HEN "Burlesque" makes its appearance on the screen, with Hal Skelly in the role he made famous during the long New York run of the stage play, it will have the prepossessing title of "The Dance of Life." There is a reason why Paramount changed the title. Outside of New York the play, "Burlesque," confused the natives. They expected to see Irish and Hebrew comedians and a lot of snappy stouts in tights. In one town in which the play was presented a clubwoman saw the sign, "Burlesque," in front of a theater, and went in to view the show. She was horrified at the risque jokes and scantily clad dames. It was reported to the police. When the coppers viewed the play they found nothing wrong with it. A meeting was called and the prominent clubwoman discovered she had made a mistake in the theater and had actually seen a third-rate burlesque show in a down-at-the-heel playhouse. Paramount isn't taking any chances. {{di|S}}OMEBODY happened to speak of beauty shops on the set the other day. Karl Dane became interested. "I got a beauty shop," he said with a shrug of his shoulders. "Just put a couple grand in it. Somewhere, you know, to get a decent manicure." {{di|C}}LARENCE BROWN, ace Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer director, is prouder of his flying than he is of having made famous and rich the Gilbert-Garbo film combination. Brown, an airman during the war, is now a transport pilot, that rating being the highest type of license obtainable in this country. He keeps a fleet little Waco plane at an airport near the studio, and spends in the air every minute he can spare away from the lot. The other day be gave old Cal a dizzy half hour. For some reason he thought Mr. York was a flying fiend, so Brown took him up in the Waco, and for an hour nose-dived, looped and tail spun. Then he dropped in at another air field, took up a new Stinson he had never seen before, and repeated the show with Cal more dead than alive. "More?" said Brown. "Well," said old Cal, "let's talk about Greta Garbo for awhile." {{di|K}}EEP your eye peeled for young Frederic March, whom you saw as the professor boyfriend in "The Wild Party" with Clara Bow. March didn't look so much in the Bow picture, with his studious make-up and sappy rôle, but this is just to warn you girls that he is one of the handsomest men now in pictures, and a swell actor to boot. In old Cal's mind, March and Charlie Farrell run a pretty dead heat in the Hollywood "Handsomest Man" contest. March is working for Paramount, is married more than happily to Florence Eldridge, actress of stage and screen, has a pretty house in Beverly Hills and is one of filmland's most ardent tennis bugs. Fred, in a straight romantic part, will knock over many hearts. Don't you girls say I didn't warn you. <section end="Gossip of All the Studios" /> <section begin="Advertisement" />{{rule}} [[File:Photoplay - 1929.08 - 99 - Linit.png|center|400px]] <section end="Advertisement" /><noinclude></noinclude> l6mgnbmsbjmcjcjwy1awn5fboor4smb Page:Transactions NZ Institute Volume 15.djvu/69 104 4848427 15136518 2025-06-15T06:53:07Z Beeswaxcandle 80078 /* Proofread */ 15136518 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Beeswaxcandle" /></noinclude>slightly dilated posteriorly, costa moderately arched near base, thence nearly straight, somewhat sinuate beyond middle, hindmargin rather strongly oblique, nearly straight, very slightly sinuate; whitish-grey, with some scattered spots of dark fuscous scales; basal patch reddish-brown, exterior edge sharply marked, broadly dark fuscous, from ⅕ of costa to ⅕ of inner margin, irregular, hardly angulated; a large reddish-brown triangular costal patch, extending on costa from ⅓ to near apex, reaching rather more than half across wing, apex broken and partially suffused, anterior and posterior edges sharply marked, broadly margined with dark fuscous, costal edge marked with three small dark fuscous spots; a similar small dark fuscous spot on costa before apex: cilia grey-whitish, with a dark grey basal line.

Occurs rather commonly at Christchurch, Dunedin and Blenheim, in December, January and March, seeming attached to ''Leptospermum''. Butler's ''cuneigera'' is founded on a light-coloured specimen with strongly-marked costal blotch, received from Blenheim; I have seen two similar specimens from the same locality, but can find no reliable point of distinction and have no doubt of their identity. {{c|12.

As no solutions may be entered before the fourth set of puzzle pictures appears, it is suggested that contestants merely pin their solutions together until the conclusion. This will permit the shifting and changing about of pictures as the contest progresses and will give time for lengthy consideration and study. Each cut puzzle picture is a portrait of a well-known motion picture actor or actress. {{nop}} <section end="$5,000 in Fifty Cash Prizes" /><noinclude></noinclude> e9c6j1znehqd8n4im12apvd5jaa06xq Page:Photoplay (1929-08).pdf/59 104 4848434 15136532 2025-06-15T07:16:43Z Qq1122qq 1889140 /* Proofread */ 15136532 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Qq1122qq" /></noinclude><section begin="Misc" />{{rule}} [[File:Photoplay - 1929.08 - 59 - Marian Nixon.png|center|550px]] {{c|'''{{di|F}}ROM the little gal of Hoot Gibson's Westerns to leading woman for John Barrymore—that's what the talkies have done for Marian Nixon.

A very variable species, but always characterized by extreme indefiniteness of marking, and broader-winged than the following. The var. {{greek|α}} (described by Walker as distinct under the name of ''biguttana'') I also supposed at first to be a good species, but have since seen transitional forms, which leave little doubt that it is merely a varietal development. The purple variety is also very striking and handsome. Larva rather stout, cylindrical, somewhat tapering behind, with scattered short whitish hairs; whitish-green, spots hardly darker; dorsal very distinct, slender, dark green; head very pale greenish-ochreous. Feeds between joined leaves of ''Panax arboreum'' (''Araliaceæ'') in April; pupa free in same position. This larva produced a specimen of the purple variety in June (indoors). The larva is certainly not confined to this food-plant, and is probably more or less polyphagous. Common at Auckland, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, and Dunedin, and probably generally, from January to May, and even in July. {{c|16.

At seventeen "a little stranger" joined the family. Now, just past eighteen, Joan is in Hollywood with a divorce and well on her way to screen fame. She was Ronald Colman's leading lady in Bulldog Drummond," and will appear in "Three Live Ghosts" and "Disraeli." Before these pictures she played a small part with William Boyd in "Power." Now, isn't that a mark for all properly ambitious girls to aim at? Yes, she still has the baby, a beautiful little girl now at the "faw down" stage. The baby was a constant source of embarrassment to the Goldwyn publicity offices during the filming of "Bulldog Drummond." An eighteen-year-old leading lady had no business with a healthy infant, nor even an unhealthy one, for that matter. So baby was kept in the background. Joan herself is intensely proud of her daughter. It would be surprising to discover a daughter of Richard Bennett to be lacking in at least the rudiments of practical, everyday sophistication. Bennett ''pere'' was shocking prim maiden aunts fifteen years ago in Brieux's play-preachment, "Damaged Goods," and even today, when it seems like a dull evening, he indulges in caustic curtain talks about critics so benighted as to disapprove of his plays. Joan, the youngest of the Bennett daughters three, is no blot on the family 'scutcheon. She is a poised young woman of the world with amazing chameleon gray-green eyes, and a manner as cool as a cucumber—at once a protection to the lady and a challenge to all up and coming young men. "Father was furious when I married," Joan explained to me. "He thought that I was too young, and would live to rue the day, so to speak. I never have and I never shall. Every girl, I suppose, has thoughts of marriage and babies. It's one of those experiences one has to have. Well, I've had it, and it's all over with. I don't think I shall marry again. I'm glad I tried it while I was young. Of course, being the youngest the Bennett sisters, I would be the first to make father a grandfather." With every opportunity to follow a stage career, this golden-haired, svelte Joan grew up without any burning desire to bear the flaming torch of histrionics to new heights. During her boarding school days in Waterbury, Conn., she was always taking part in amateur theatricals but her favorite studies were languages and music. She was quite sure that her career was to become the wife of some nice young man and settle down in a cottage covered with roses and mortgages. "My decision to go on the stage was a rather sudden affair," Joan smiled, and those smiles are all to the good. "Father gave me a rôle in the play in which he is now appearing, 'Jarnegan.' I played a bad girl who died in the second act. There was another bad girl who died in the first act. I thought I might as well spend as much of the evening as possible. On the last night of 'Jarnegan' in New York, John Considine was in the audience and offered me the leading rôle with Ronald Colman in 'Bulldog Drummond.{{' "}} {{di|S}}INCE Joan came to Hollywood she has been joined by her two sisters, although each of the girls maintains her own separate establishment. Constance Bennett, well known in Paramount pictures four years ago and who, at that time, had no love for the fair and sunny Hollywood, will make pictures for Pathe. Barbara Bennett, dancing partner of the late Maurice and now married to Morton Downey, the tenor, will appear in RKO productions. It is the first time in several years that the girls have been together in the same city. Joan's sophisticated bearing and her splendid speaking voice, are undoubtedly the result of years of association with stage people, and the polishing-off process of European schooling. "When we girls were very young father used to engage a governess and take us about with him on road tours. I can remember being taken on the stage by father when he made curtain bows at the close of 'Damaged Goods.' I was three then.

When I finally went on the stage myself there seemed nothing strange about it. {{di|I|fl="}} THINK the most delightful time of my life was the year I spent in school at Versailles. There were just eight girls in the school, all Americans. I still see those girls from time to time, or correspond with them. Most of them are married now. "The girls I knew in the American boarding school have dropped out of my life. I rather disapprove of American schools for girls, in fact. "In France we lived in a lovely chateau set back in great gardens. Each girl had a beautiful, big room and private bath—none of this trailing down hallways with bath salts and towels. The instructors were understanding, real human beings, and were charming to our friends when they called. "We met interesting people and carried on conversations in French. There was an incentive to read good books. "Twice a week we went to the Opera Comique and during the winter season to the Paris Opera. About the most unpleasant feature was being dragged to the Louvre and listening to dull lectures. I dislike being made to do things. "It was while I was in school abroad that I first saw Ronald Colman on the screen. It was in 'The Dark Angel,' and at that time I could scarcely read the French captions on the picture. But I cried and cried over it. I never dreamed that some day I might be playing with this same man." Few people know that Joan spent a great deal of her brief married life in Hollywood. Her husband's business brought him to the film capital, and the young wife settled down to afternoons at bridge, dinner, and more bridge in the evening. She hated it then, but now, in a different environment in the same town, she likes it. Her apartment is in a huge, chateau-like structure in Hollywood. The windows of her pleasant French living room overlook a small, walled garden, and beyond is busy Franklin Avenue with its perpetual stream of motor and street car traffic. She chose this particular apartment because she likes the noise. {{di|E|fl="}}VEN after I am in bed at night I like to listen to the noises in the street and feel that life is still going on, although Hollywood is not much of a night-life town. Street cars passing below never disturb me, but the croaking of frogs in the garden nearly drives me frantic. "I like crowds, but not the mobs that gather outside of the Montmartre Cafe and at picture ''premieres''. "It is rather dreadful and morbid. In New York we used to lunch at the Ritz and always there were many people about. No one there bothered to stare at others." Critics have approved of Joan's work in "Bulldog Drummond." Shortly after the completion of the Colman picture she joined the cast of "Three Live Ghosts." She is looking forward with keenest anticipation to working with George Arliss in "Disraeli." It will be supposedly an all-English cast and she is wondering how her voice will measure with those of the troupe. Off the screen Joan looks a little older than her eighteen years. On the screen she appears even younger. But she is eighteen. If you don't believe it. Joan will produce her birth certificate, and it reads "Born February 27th, 1911, at Palisades, New Jersey." <section end="It's All Over Now" /> <section begin="Advertisement" />{{rule}}

Of the three given hereafter, ''D. imbriferana'' is a typical species of the genus. ''D. incessana'' differs in some respects, having veins 6 and 7 of hindwings separate, and more elongate palpi, for which reasons I formerly referred it to ''Arotrophora'', but it is without the characteristic antennal dentations of that genus, and the antennæ appear here to furnish the most reliable characters. ''D. jactatana'' also diverges in respect of the separation of veins 6 and 7 of hindwings, and in having vein 5 closely approximated to 4 at base; acquaintance with the male shows its former conjectural position to have been erroneous.

The single New Zealand species stands quite alone; I at first erroneously referred it to ''Cacoecia'', which it closely resembles in most respects, but the basal pectination, which I had overlooked, is strongly marked, and I have now no doubt of its true position. {{c|30.

According to the custom of the Germans, at the end of winter the tribe of the Salians assembled under arms to deliberate on future expeditions, on public affairs, and civil and commercial proceedings. These meetings were called ''mall''. The next year the ''mall'' was formed, and Clovis prepared to make a general inspection of the arms of his soldiers; when he reached the man who had struck the vase, he suddenly called out, "There is none here whose armour is so dirty and ill kept as thine: neither thy lance nor thy axe is fit for service!" So saying, he seized his axe and cast it on the ground; as the man stooped to pick it up, Clovis raised his own and clove his skull—"Let the same be done to thee," cried he, "as thou didst to the vase in the city of Soissons." This summary mode of administering justice was beheld without murmurs, and the redoubted chief's act was looked on as a punishment due to want of discipline.

By little and little his plans began to ripen, and the children of his adoption, whom he supported, clothed, and fed, promised so well, that he felt sure the scheme must succeed. He found that a large deserted tan-house was to be sold: he hesitated not to purchase this shelter for his protégés, and, aided by a few benevolent persons, in the short space of sixteen months he has been able to form the noble establishment which, since it has now attracted the attention of the Queen of France, will doubtless prosper, and by its success reward the exertions of the<noinclude></noinclude> i83i6dht6wg8i90xvdjif65paf53tol Page:Czecho-Slovak Student Life, Volume 18.djvu/20 104 4848465 15136641 2025-06-15T09:40:24Z Jan.Kamenicek 17858 /* Proofread */ 15136641 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Jan.Kamenicek" /></noinclude>{{c|style=border:2px solid; padding-top:1em; padding-bottom:1em; padding-left:2.5em; padding-right:2.5em; line-height:1.2; margin-bottom:0.7em|{{x-larger|'''Rev.

Rev. Joseph Schrembs, D. D., Bishop of Cleveland, who urged them to hold fast to the best traditions of their nation. His lordship pictured the two extremes, that of forgetting all about one’s ancestry and that of excessive and harmful nationalism, and warned the sisters against both. “Rather”, said the bishop, “keep the best of your race traditions, the religion, customs, celebrations, the consciousness of a glorious past, with its saints, statesmen and heroes”. The bishop also urged a speaking and reading proficiency of the native language by reason of its educational advantages and that he would like to see the wise preservation of the cultural heritage of every national group. He asked the sisters to cultivate an appreciation for the cultural heritage of the Czechs in the hearts of the children they teach. {{c|'''Czech Art Exhibit.'''}} The nuns attending the summer school also prepared an elaborate exhibit of Czech Art and Literature, which was opened to the public every day from nine in the morning till four in the afternoon. The exhibit contained Czech folklore, painting, the national festivals, historical places. Czech civilization and history, literature, and national, parochial and fraternal journalism. Included in the exhibit was a complete collection of the thirty Bohemian publications in the U. S. Among these was the Catholic daily “{{lang|cs|Národ}}”, published by the Benedictine Fathers in Chicago, now in its 34th year, and an entire volume of the Czechoslovak Student Life monthly. This exhibit as well as the entire course aroused the interest of the nuns as well as of the leading men of Cleveland. Czech and English newspapers frequently published reports about it. There can be no doubt about the cultural work done by Father [[SIC|Ziska|Zizka}} O.S.B. during the six weeks. He had given the same course in Chicago in 1926, and plans are being arranged to give a similar course in all the large cities in the U. S. At present he is teaching not only at St. Procopius College but he is also giving a course to the nuns of the Czech schools in Chicago. He is offering the following subjects for which credit is given: Methods of modern language teaching, Czech American literature, and a practical study of the Czech language. {{dhr}} [[File:Endpiece in the Czecho-Slovak Student Life 3.jpg|100px|center]]<noinclude></noinclude> rzjxvyao6nvonkrfp2vds8n84nadx0c Russian Workers and Workshops in 1926/Foreword 0 4848468 15136645 2025-06-15T10:04:59Z MarkLSteadman 559943 Created page with "{{header | title = [[../]] | author = William Z.

To obtain his favor one would have to carry an egg, laid by black chicken, under his arm for seven weeks, during which time he was to recite certain prayers. At the end of the seven week a black chick would be hatched which was then to be put in the attic. A hole was drilled into the ceiling, through which money poured to those who possessed the chick or skriatok. {{lang|sk|Svetlonos}} was believed to be spirit in the form of a small flying light (probably a fire-fly who led people to their destruction during the night. {{lang|sk|Dedko}} was the fireside god who lived under the doorstep. {{lang|sk|Rarasek}} was the god of wind and the people pictured him as the smallest evil spirit in hell. {{lang|sk|Jezibaba}}, well known even now, was an ugly old woman with beard over a foot long. The witch in English seems to come close to the Slovak {{lang|sk|Jezibaba}}. {{lang|sk|Hoja Dunda}} was some kind of crazed goddess and the Slovak of today call young women, who are a little too lively, “{{lang|sk|Hoja Dunda}}”. At their burnt offerings the ancient Slovaks sacrificed animals, mostly chickens, bakery, honey cheese, and other foods. They also had drink offerings and the father of the family would, on the occasion of sacrifice, deliver a toast in some god’s honor. Among other things connected with the pagan Slovak worship were the priests. Some were known as wizards, and travelled all over the land; others were stationed at a permanent place of sacrifice. The Slovak burials resembled those of the Romans. The bodies were dressed in the best clothes; if the body was that of a warrior, his coat of arms went with him. The funeral pyre was built and after the fire consumed the corpse the ashes were put into an urn and preserved. If a young unmarried man or lady died, the funeral was preceded by a marriage at which the dead body was married to the living one. The funeral over, a feas usually followed. Even here in America, the Slovaks today observe the custom of returning to the home of the deceased and having their little feast. This paganism, by which the Slovak, no doubt, tried to satisfy his belief in a Creator, was replaced by Christianity in 863, which is the religion of the Slovaks today. May Christ always rule this devout and docile race.

This titanic struggle of the Russian peasantry against the new aggressors, who have taken the place of the old Tzarist oppressors, is told graphically by the Vice-Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Peasants' Congress, I. Rakitnikova, in her report to the Bureau of the Workers' Internationale, entitled, "How the Russian Peasants Fought for the Constituent Assembly." This very interesting report proves by facts that the Russian peasantry has been opposed to the Bolsheviki from the very outset and that it only gave way to the sheer physical force lodged in the hands of the Bolsheviki. The Russian peasantry has continued incessantly to struggle against them and every issue of the Bolshevist papers (others were soon suppressed within the confines of Great Russia under their domination) has been full of news of peasant uprisings which aim at the overthrowal of the Bolshevist rule. Workers in numerous factories are likewise continually adopting resolutions against the Bolshevist rule and their system of temporary administration, and this restlessness indicates that the discontent with the Bolsheviki is growing just as strong among the workers, in the ranks of the proletariat in the name of which the Bolsheviki have declared a dictatorship and in whose name they are oppressing the people. Since last summer they have kept in jail an entire convention of workers' representatives of Moscow, among whom there are such prominent revolutionists as L. Freifeld (an old member of the "Narodnaya Volia" of the eighties), A. Troyanovsky (a Social-Democrat and ex-Bolshevik), and many others. Who of the old revolutionists who survived all the horrors of the autocracy of the Tzar and the rule of the gendarmes is to be found in the ranks of the Bolsheviki? Not Baboushka (Breshkovskaya), nor Tchaikovsky, nor Herman Lopatin, nor Lazarev; not the Central Committee of the Party of Social-Revolutionists, even the left wing of which swung away from the Bolsheviki after the shame of Brest-Litovsk; not the Mensheviki (Social-Democrats); not the Bundists or any others.

You can't find there anyone who is not allured by pretty phrases not based in fact, and the activities of the Bolsheviki, who are ready to work hand in hand with anyone who professes lip-service to their principles. What if these stray followers are discrediting the professions of those Bolsheviki who still continue to have faith in their own cause,—they worry little about it! They are grist to their mills and that is all they require. They have never inquired about the moral qualifications of their partisans and they do not inquire about it now. Americans often ask the question: How can it be explained that the Bolsheviki hold power for almost a year and a half? Does not this prove that they are supported by the majority of the people? For us, Russians, the reply to this question is very simple. The Tzars held power for centuries. Is that proof that their rule was supported by the will of the majority of the people and that it satisfied the wants of the people? Of course, not. They held power by the rule of blood and iron and did not rest at all upon the sympathies of the great masses of the people. The Bolsheviki are retaining their power to-day by the same identical means. And if, in the early period, there were some who had honest delusions about the introduction of a paradise on earth by means of Bolshevism, these delusions have been wiped out by this time. There is nothing but stark, crude force staring them in the face, and to-day all the revolutionary elements are against the Bolshevist government and are making ready to fight it, or are already engaged in the struggle against these new oppressors of Russia who are applying in practice the principles of the old gendarme rule. Russia of the Tzarist times was governed by blue gendarmes. Great Russia of to-day is ruled by red gendarmes. The distinction is only in color, and perhaps somewhat in methods. The methods of the red gendarmes are more ruthless and cruel than those of the old, blue gendarmes.

For, while strivings for freedom may be deterred by bayonets, they cannot be stayed or suppressed, even by the use of hired Chinese bayonets, no matter how plentiful! Russian revolutionists have known how to fight and overcome their oppressors. These Russian revolutionists, the true fighters for the liberties of the people, are to-day being called by some "counter-revolutionists." But it must be remembered that this epithet is being applied to them only by the Bolsheviki, the self-same people who, in November, 1917, in cooperation with the old agents of the Okhrana, brought about their monarchist-Bolshevist counter-revolution. {{nop}}<noinclude></noinclude> iws0s6jhm1h89crddwqk7bfrxshknl8 Page:Pansies (Lawrence).djvu/99 104 4848481 15136672 2025-06-15T10:30:35Z Alien333 3086116 /* Proofread */ 15136672 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Alien333" /></noinclude>{{ppoem| start=follow| Go down to your deep old heart, woman, and lose sight of yourself.

Well, the Miss Willises took a lease of the house; it was fresh painted and papered from top to bottom: the paint inside was all wainscoted; the marble all cleaned; the old grates taken down, and register-stoves, you could see to dress in, put up; four trees were planted in the back garden; several small baskets of gravel sprinkled over the front one; vans of elegant furniture arrived; spring blinds were fitted to the windows; carpenters who had been employed in the various preparations, alterations, and repairs, made confidential statements to the different maid-servants in the row, relative to the magnificent scale on which the Miss Willises were commencing; the maid-servants told their "Missises;" the Missises told their friends, and vague rumours were cir-<noinclude></noinclude> 81cul8mjw5tqebjhlp4lw8z8cknaf92 Page:Charles Dickens (a Critical Study) by George Gissing, 1898.djvu/65 104 4848488 15136692 2025-06-15T11:25:10Z Chrisguise 2855804 /* Proofread */ 15136692 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Chrisguise" />{{running header||THE STORY-TELLER|55}}</noinclude>begun before the end of ''Pickwick''. Ill-considered engagements so pressed upon him that in February, 1839, we find him appealing to his publisher for patience, and expressing an opinion that "the conduct of three different stories at the same time, and the production of a large portion of each every month, would have been beyond [[Author:Walter Scott|Scott]] himself." It came as a natural result of his sudden and great success. Finally, he put himself at ease by a simple refusal to be bound by his undertakings; an extreme step, but one which has to be balanced against the interested calculations of a shrewd publisher. It is plain that ''Nickleby'' suffered from these circumstances of undue stress; in spite of its popularity, and of merits presently to be recognized, it is the least satisfactory of the group of books written before Dickens's first visit to America. Five books in five years, from ''Pickwick'' in 1837 to ''Barnaby Rudge'' in 1841—a record nothing like that of Scott, but wonderful as the work of a man with only half Scott's length of experience to draw upon. ''Nickleby'' being much longer than its predecessor, the faulty construction is more felt, and becomes a weariness, an irritation; that is to say, if one thinks of the matter at all, which one never should in reading Dickens.

All this is quite unworthy of the author, but, following upon ''Oliver'', it indicated the limits of his power as a novelist. Dickens never had command of "situation," though he was strong in incident. A great situation must be led up to by careful and skilful foresight in character and event—precisely where his resources always failed him. Thus, scenes which he intended, and perhaps thought, to be very effective fall flat through their lack of substance. A mature reader turns away in disgust, and, if he belong to a hasty school of modern criticism, henceforth declares that Dickens is hopelessly antiquated, and was always vastly overpraised. Here, for the last time, we have episodic stories; admissible enough in a book which, for all its faults, smacks so of the leisurely old fiction. In ''[[The Old Curiosity Shop]]'', which came next, there is more originality of design: one does not smell the footlights, but has, instead, delicious wafts of freshness from the fields and lanes of England. Of course we find an initial vice of construction, inseparable from Dickens's habit at that time of beginning to write without any settled scheme.

When altogether arranged it will form a most interesting monument,—it is so indeed at this moment thanks to the care of M. Dupont, and antiquaries from far and near will crowd to see it, as pilgrims hurried to the shrine of St. Medard of old. The Abbé has a liberal, though, perhaps, somewhat romantic notion, of hereafter fitting up a part of the premises as a residence for strangers whom a love of art may lead to the spot, and there he proposes they shall be received, and remain at liberty to prosecute their studies as long as they please; consulting a library that is to be at their service, and a museum which, together with a valuable collection of enamels and paintings by ancient masters of rare excellence, the Abbé can himself furnish. The position of the school is one of singular beauty, and the choice of it does great credit to the taste of the monks of St. Medard<noinclude></noinclude> 98kno2dql6iel6413ub03g799i8l6rn Page:Costello - A pilgrimage to Auvergne from Picardy to Velay - A 30154 1.pdf/130 104 4848497 15136707 2025-06-15T11:49:40Z JuniperSandhurst 3156105 /* Proofread */ 15136707 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="JuniperSandhurst" />{{rh|114|LOUIS LE DÉBONNAIRE.}}</noinclude>of old. A splendid view is obtained from all the windows, and spacious gardens and fine groves surround the house—where the nightingale and cuckoo in the spring season keep up a continual concert. Embowered in this solitude sleep, perhaps still to be discovered, the two kings, Clothaire and Sigibert, both benefactors to and enlargers of the enormous building, which grew with centuries till revolutionary rage swept away all traces of its existence. A fine head, supposed to be of Clothaire, is to be seen in M. Dupont's collection; and a beautiful little female head, with the hair gilt, and delicately formed features, is another of the treasures lately found beneath the ruined walls. The legend of St. Medard is told of several other saints; but if his bones really became too heavy to proceed until the king had granted all the land required to build the abbey, there certainly could be no blame attached to the saint, for a more salubrious or charming spot could not have been selected by him. But perhaps the most interesting recollection attached to the remains of this monastery is that of a portion of it having been the prison of the unfortunate Louis le Débonnaire, who was confined here by his son Clothaire in the year 833:— "I was conducted," recounts the deposed mon-<noinclude></noinclude> gdmyx1n24gvg50q000bs379lv95zcic Page:Pansies (Lawrence).djvu/100 104 4848498 15136708 2025-06-15T11:49:46Z Alien333 3086116 /* Proofread */ 15136708 proofread-page text/x-wiki <noinclude><pagequality level="3" user="Alien333" /></noinclude>{{ppoem| start=stanza| Have you no deep old heart of wild womanhood self-forgetful, and gemmed with experience, and swinging in a strange unison of power with the heart of the man you are supposed to have loved?

After having thrown me into a prison, they announced to me that my wife was dead, and that my innocent child, my little Karl, he who was my best beloved of all, had been shaven and forced to enter a monastery. At this news I could no longer contain my grief, deprived as I was of my kingdom, of my wife and my child. I wept for many days, and felt myself consuming away in consequence of the weight of my misfortunes. I had no one to console me but God alone—all access to the great church of St. Medard, all communication with the brotherhood was interdicted, except at rare intervals, when I was closely watched by my guards. Still I had occasionally the power of pouring out my sorrows at the sacred altars; and I implored the holy lords St. Medard and St. Sebastian to intercede for the repose of my wife's soul, for I believed her to have passed from this life. I then was reconducted to my prison, in those dungeons which had, alas! become too familiar to me."

Louis, it should be remembered, would have expressed his complaints in ''la langue tudesque''.
