M. Cljmer. LAW ON JONTRACTS Made by Agents for Jewelry Advertisement. CUT MAKER LOSES THE TIME On Provinc Cuts An Important Decision by Judge Stake. W.

C. Newman Company have attached money in their own hands for $12.45 costs growing out of the mm pros of the appeal case of the Hates Advertising Syndicate against Newman Company last November which they lost not bsing so lucky as a jewelry firm in Cumberland in similar ease. The case up there was that Doolittle vs. Powell being an effort on the part of the appellant to recover ou an order for fifty-two newspaper cuts, suitable to-advertise the jewelry business, given by the appellee. Mr.

Powell after find ing them unsatisfactory refused to accept or use them and declined payment. Judge Stake said in to the case: "This is one of a class of cases that has become quite common in the rural sections. A canvasser from some city establishment comes into a community and with'a mellifluous voice, and pleasant manner obtains the signature of a number of persons to a printed contract Sometimes it takes the shape of a seduc--' tive lady book canvasser for a ten or fifteen dollar book and a long list of names are at once obtained. Soon thereafter, often before the angelic'vision of female loveliness has faded from the recollection of-the willing subscribers, a large, burly and pugilistic looking man, whom it looks dangerous to defy, comes along and delivers a book or set of books for seventy-live dollars, and the victim finds out there is enough of printed terms in line type over his name, to compel payment of the whole amount claimed. In this case it is presented in the shape of a contract to pay for fifty- two electrotype cuts to advertise the jewelry business.

Numerous cases in his state, notably Rice vs. Forsythe 41 assert the proposition that in all uses of the sale of personal property of this character, there is an implied war- runty, that the goods shall be reasonably tit for the purpose for which they are and in this principle is to be applied in all its force and vigor. The testimony of Mr. Powell which was admitted without objection, and of the pressman of the newspaper, shows conclusively that the cuts were not of the jiiality to fulfil such an implied warranty. "It was strongly urged by the appellant's attorney that as Mr.

Powell had used some of the was entitled to pay for them, but I can not assent to this for several reasons: 1st, until the defendant had tried them he could not form a correct conclusion of their quali- and worth, as advertising articles, ind 3d, the contract is one of entirety. The obligation of the appellant is to 'nrnish fifty-two, one for each week in the year, not to furnish seven or twelve jleetrotypes answering the description the contract and recover for them, In case of Solmon vs Botlkyn, 48 Md. o41, where the contract was to furnish even hundred and eighty tons of kauit, it was held that the vendor could not rest upon a furnishing of seven hundred ind seven tons. The appellant could not take upon himself to furnish less than the whole fii'ty-two of the requisite juality and have any standing in court. If those that Mr.

Powell tried were found wanlini' 1 it is no performance of contract on the part of the appel- ant to say that others which Mr. Powell iid not open or use, may have been all right. Mr. Powell returned them to the vppellant and has done all that law requires in discharge of the contract. The judgment of the justice in favor of Powell will therefore be affirmed.

Stolen. On Sunday afternoon at 2,30 some imrauder entered the rear of Howard Jllrich's store, on W. Washington st. He climbed up on the back porch and prized in the glass door with a hatchet, ifter mashing" a pane. The bureau Irawers were ransacked and wardrobes unl closets explored.

MA YOU KEBDY ASD TilE ORDINANCE CompllcU With, He Baekinc It In the Testimony was taken before Examiner Poffenberger in hitching rack case for the plaintiff, Elliot and Doub, with Doub and Griffith as attorneys. The trend of it was to show that the racks at Franklin and Potomac have been there for a long time; that racks exist elsewhere in town; that to remove them would damage the property by interfer- ing'with trade; that hitching horses there is not a nuisance and their existence was necessary. Kealhofer and Halm for town cross-examined arid got admission that horses standing there in summer time was a nuisance, but the case is not as to whether the racks are a nuisance or not, but as to whether the power to pass an ordinance to order such racks removed.

Rogalle struck town on Tuqsday four bears and gave performances around town on Tuesday "with four companions around the city.

The party is camped in the B. O. yard. At night Rogalle took several red reefs in his sails and his mind got tangled concerning the cardinal points of the compass. Instead of going toward the camp he.

went north and struck a breaker on the Bowery where Officer Smith found him in the act of foundering and rescued him. Rogalle had a different opinion of our jail this morning after spending the night within the four walls. He told Justice Ripple that he would rather sleep with his bears than in the jail, but of course that is simply a matter of taste. The charge against Rosalie was for carrying concealed and being drunk. As to the first charge he proved to the Justice that he 'needs a pistol in his business.

He said he only carries the weapon while sleeping with his bears as a means of protection in case they should be attacked with the jim-jams or try to dance the hootchie-cootchie.
