APRIL 7. JUDGE CALDWELL'S DECISION. Judpe Caldwell's decision In the Union Pacific case is one of the clearest expositions of the law the courts can be credited with for some time. The case will become historic by rea- ion of the great significance of the decision. Tho question in dispute was the rlRhts of the receiver to reduce wages in face of the agreement of the oorapany prior to the reoeirershlp that waged should not be reduced without 30 days notice.

The court says: "A corporation is organized capital; it capital consisting of money and property. Organized labor is organized capital; It is capital constating of brains and muscle. What it is lawful for one to do it is lawful for tho other to do. It is lawful for the stockholders and officers of a corporation to aiiooiate and confer together for the purpose of reducing wages of its employes, or of derision of some other means of making their investments profitable; it it equally lawful for organized labor to associate, consult and confer with a view to maintain or increaae wages. Botk act from the prompting of enlightened selfishness, and the action of both is lawful when no illegal means are used or threatened.

"An essential and indispensable requisite to the safe and successful operation of the road id the employment of sober, Intelligent, experienced and capable men for that purpose. When a road comes under the management of a court in which the employ era are conceded to possess all these qualifications, and that concession is made In tho fullest manner lore, tho court will not upon light or irlvlal grounds dispense with their services or reduce their wages. And when the schedule of wages la force at the time the court aeeumos tho management of the road is tho result of a mutual ajrreament between the company and the employes which has been io force for years the court will the schedule is reasonable and just, and anyone disputing that will bo required to ovor- hrow It by satisfactory proof, 'The recommendation of the re- to adopt their schedule can not bo accepted by the court Jor another reason. That schedule was adopted without affording to the men or their any opportun- ty to bo heard. This was in viola- ion of the agreement exlstiig letween the company and tho men, by he terms of which no change of tho chodule was to be made without lOtice to the men and granting a tearing.

But Mayor Read voted igainst a motion to make the inspoc- ors half republican and half demo- rat Ic and by his vote an- ounced that he had no de ire to recognize the fact that tho epublicans had a light to equal epresontatlon. The city is nearly qually divided politically, conbiaer- ng the total vote, and the republicans xpected recognition of this.

He was appointed member for Louisiana on the board of trustees of the University of the South at Sewanee, Tenn. He was elected to the Forty-seventh, Forty- eight, Forty-ninth, Fiftieth and Fifty- first congresses and was reclected to the Fifty-second congress as a democrat.

Regarding the methods made use of to determine authorship, specialists arc naturally reticent. Some of them have admitted, however, the nature of the leading principles which guide them. The philosophy of the matter resits mainly on the fact that it is very rare for any two persons to write hands similar enough to deceive a careful observer, unless one is imitating the Other. "Fists," like faces, have all some special idiosyncrasy, anil the imitator has not merely to copy that of someone else, but to disguise his own. By careful and frequent practice he may succeed well enough to deceive the ordinary man, but is rarely successful in biillling the expert.

Even the most skillful culprit not wholly hide his individuality, as he is to relapse into his ordinary method occasionally. Then, again, great care has to be used, and this can be detected by the traces of hesitancy, the substitution of curves for angles and vice versa, which come out very plainly when the writing is examined under the microscope, as it usually is by the expert. A plan of detection which has been adopted with great success is to cutout each letter in a doubtful piece of writing, and paste all the A's, H's, on separate sheets of paper. The process is also gone through with a genuine bit of caligraphy of the imitator or the imitated, as the case may be. Comparison almost invariably shows that the letters are less uniform if imitation has been attempted, the writer being occasionally betrayed into some approach to his ordinary caligruphy, or momentary forgetful ness of some special point in the handwriting he is simulating.

No point is too small to escape an expert's attention. The dotting of "i's," the crossing of "t's," the curls and flourishes, the intervals between the words, the thinness of the upstroke and the thickness of the down- stroke, are all noted and carefully compared. Where only a has been forged, and that by means of tracings from the original, the resemblance is often so exact, as to deceive even the supposed author, but in these cases the microscope is generally effective in determining not merely the forgery, but the method by which it was accomplished. It is some comfort to know that the cuniiin-j-of the forger is overmatched by the seientific skill of the trained expert. Journal.

In Aug-ust, 1873, immediately after the close of the session, the cabinet was considerably remodeled, Mr, Gladstome assuming: the chancellorship of the exchequer, in addition to big office of first lord of the treasury. January 24, 1874, a fortnight before both houses were to have met, Mr.

Gladstone took everybody by surprise by announcing immediate dissolution of and issuing his address to his constituents at Greenwich, in which he promised to abolish the income tax At tha general election which ensued the votes were, for the first time, taken by secret ballot. The result proved most disastrous to the liberal party, 851 conservatives being elected, and 302 liberals. Mr. Gladstone at once resigned and Mr. Diaraali became prime minister.

But Mr. Gladstone, April 23,1880, for the second time became premier. He acted for three years as chancellor of the exchequer also, but in 1S88 turned the financial work over to Mr.

William Ewart Glad- Great Britain and Ireland, was born in Liverpool, December 29, ISO'J, being the fourth son of Sir John Gladstone, of Kineardlneshire, Scotland. He was educated at Eton college and Christ church, Oxford, was graduated, taking a double first class, in 1S31.

Since that date Mr. Gladstone was in opposition, until August 15, when, as a result of the liberal victory in the general elections, iie once more became premier the temperature was less. may be some time before this plan can be carried out, but that it Is possible to thus reduce the cost of electrical conductivity by running- an engine to produce cold is certain, and It will be when the cost of copper becomes commercially comparable with the cost of running an engine for such a purpose.

Experiment seems to indicate that all the metals are th an affected by cold, and that at absolute zero their electrical conductivity becomes infinite, or, as it is more generally stated, the electrical resistance of becomes- zero. The other properties of substances are also profoundly changed so as to be radically different what they are under ordinary conditions; cohesion, tensile --strength, malleability, become Jess -Jess. BO it seems alfcigether-prolmble that "the- qualities and states ofr matter to as solids, liquids and gases depend absolutely upon temperature, and that at absolute zero there would be neither solid nor liquid nor gas, and that electrical and magnetic qualities would bo at a maximum. This opens up great field for speculation as to the nature of matter itself, when most of what we call its properties may be emptied out, of it by simply reducing its vibratory motion. uin.

The Origin of I.ORp Year. Leap it appears, is due to the enterprise of the canny Scotch lassies. In the year 1288 a statute was published by the Scotch parliament ordaining that during the reign of "Her Maist Ulessit Majestic maiden and lady of high and low estate should have liberty to speak to the man she likvd. If he refused to- take her to be his wife she should have the privilege of fining him £100 or less, according to his estate, unless he could make it appear that he was betrothed to another woman, in which case he would be free to refuse. After the death of Margaret the women of Scot- laud became clamorous for their privileges, and to appease them another- act of parliament allowed them to propose every fourth year.

left office with his chief in April, 1835, and remained in opposition until 1'eel's reeurn to power in 1841. In September of that year Mr. Gladstone was sworn of the privy council and was made master of the mint and vice president of the board of trade. From ltf-13 to 184S he was president of the board of trade. Meantime Mr.

Gladstone had obtained cabinet ollice, his position being that of secretary of state for the colonies. In 1847 Oxford university elected him its representative and this position he Its Properties Aro Found to Vlinngo In fjurprlHlnff Miinncr. The effect of low temperature upon the physical properties of matter is very striking-. For instance, it is found that the vigor of chemicuJ action decreases and the elements apparently lose their ability to combine as their tempera- lure is lowered. Thus phosphorus and oxygen, which so energetically combine at ordinary temperatures, become more and more chemically inert as this temperature is decreased, until at 200 degrees below the freezing point of water they appear to be unable to unite.

This may be otherwise stated by saying that in the absence of heat there -is no chemical ath'nity. Now, heat is known to consist in the internal vibratory motion of nnd molecules of matter, so that it appears that D. H. BILGEE, Esq. Hulmevillc, Pa.

retained for eighteen years. Mr. Glad- nc absence of such vibratory mo- stone broke away from the tory party in 1S51, ihe occasion his conversion to the necessity of university reform and the removal of the political disabilities of Hebrews. He entered the -Aberdeen "coalition" ministry December, 1SI33, as chancellor of the exchequer, a position which he frequently held and in which he made his mark as the master of financial problems. In the early part of 1S08 Mr.

Gladstone brought in a series of resolutions for the disestablishment and disendow- ment of the Anglican church in Ireland. The Irish church suspensory act, based on these resolutions, was adopted, but was thrown out by the house of lords. At the exciting general election which followed Mr. Gladstone contested southwest Lancashire, but was defeated by territorial influence. In the meantime the great metropolitan boroug-h of Greenwich had returned him by a large majority.

Mr. Disraeli resigned and Mr. Gladstone became prime minister in December, 1808. The principal events of his administration wore the passing of thn Irish church disestablishment act, tions there is no possibility of chemical action. On the other hand, as tho temperature falls the magnetic and electrical qualities of Joine or of all of the elements is exalted in a proportionate way.

Thus, oxygen, which is feebly magnetic at ordinary temperature, becomes strongly magnetic at 200 degrees, and when liquified, as it easily may be at such low temperature. it behaves like iron to a magnet, and adhere strongly to its poles. At ordinary temperatures copper is six tiroes better a conductor of electricity than iron, but the conductivity of each is increased by cold. Copper is ten times better as a conductor of electricity at 100 degrees than it is at the freezing point of water, and tho conductivity of iron increases at a still jj greater rate, until iron becomes as good as copper. It has been proposed to inclose electric conductors in to be kept very cold by some of tho well-knovfn processes for extracting heat such as ara in common use for ice production, as the amount of copper needed would be CURED WHEN ALL ELSE FAILED La Grippe Baffled!
