Where to Find Suitable Presents for Holiday Gifts.
Suppose we suggest a trip through our Furniture Department on the fourth floor, where you will find pieces
of Furniture of odd designs, elaborate finish, price up to a -hundred or so more of dollars, then again articles that
will appeal to you because of their everyday usefulness at prices comparatively small for like values elsewhere.
Ask the elevator boy to let you off on the third floor for the Picture Department, a gallery of rare subjects,'
many of them duplicates of the master minds, the original would be marked a fabulous price.
DEALT WITH IN AN OPINION
BY JUDGE NEWCOMBE.
Title to Fourteen Acre3 of Land
Bested on the Court's Identifica
tion of Which of Two "Outcrops of
ConBlomomtc" Formed the ThircW
Side of a Trinngulnr Plot Besenrcd
from a Large Tract Opinion by
Judge Vosburg in the Senofelder
Estate Dispute Court Notes.
J, I ,
"A
In 1SS-', Ira K. Hartwell conveyed to
A. G. Miller n 110-ucre tract oC land In
Blakcly, "excepting and reserving how
cvr, out of the same, all that portion
within the coul measures situate In
the east corner of the above described
lot, and bounded on the northeast by
the Jacob Oakley lot, on the southeast
by the Dunlel Sherrard warrant, and
on the remaining sides by the outcrop
of the conglomerate rock, containing
about four and oue-hutf acres and
known as the OakJoy coal bed.
The piece 50 reserved was. In 1SSS,
conveyed by Hartwell to O. W. Craven
and others, under a slightly different
description, but identified as being "the
nunc land reserved In 11 certain con
tract between the party of the first part
and W. G. Miller, dated the 19th day
of December. 1SS2."
The land reserved lies tit the apex of
an angle formed by the lines of the
adjoining Sherrard and Oakley tracts.
The base of the reserved triangle is the
"outcrop of conglomerate."
The case becomes complicated by rea
son of the existence of two outcropplngs
of conglomerate, one a high ledge form
ing a practically complete base to the
triangle and endowing about eighteen
acres, and the other a not well defined
line of conglomerate outcropping, some
rods within the trlsmgle of which the
other would form a base, and not ox
tending from side to side of the tri
angle. When Miller, who owned the tract,
minus the reserved triangle, came into
court with a view of establishing title
to the land lying between the two
"bases," his prlnclpa.1 contention was
that It must have been the inner and
smaller outcropping that was meant
as the base line, because the big outer
ledge would enclose eighteen acres.
The defence was that the big outer
ledge was meant, because the other was
Indistinct and at all events did not
reach from side to side or for a reason
abl' sufficient distance to fix a line.
Judge Newcomb agreed with the lat
ter contention and granted a non-suit,
with a rule to show cause why It should
not be taken off.
Testerday the judge handed down
nn opinion discharging the rule to take
off alio non-suit.
After an exhaustive discussion of the
I'ase ho says:
"We held that there was nothing in
this case to take it out of Hie general
rule that the quantity of land mentioned
In a deed, like courses and distances,
must give way to boundary lines fixed
.by established monuments, natural or
artificial, existing on the ground. Large
vs. Fenn., 6 S. & K 488; Kreiter vs.
Romberger, S2 Penn.. 59; Pelts vs.
Gaw, 15 ibid, 21S. We further held that
the outcropping of conglomerate rock
was the boundary adopted by the. par
ties regardless of any uncertainty In
their own minds as to the quantity of
land. There was no evidence of any
line of rock, other than the one spoken
of as the high ledge, that would answer
the requirements' of the description In
question. The location of this ledge
not being disputed we could see noth
ing to go to 'the jury.
"After a careful review of "the case
we think there was no error in direct
ing: a non-suit, and therefore the rule
lo take it oft is discharged."

James Kearney, who was convicted
several months ago of embezzling
money from the Singer Sewing Machine
company, by which he was employed,
was called before Judge Newcomb yes
terday afternoon for sentence.
"f have known you for many years,"
said the Judge, addressing Kearney,
"and it is a painful duty for me to have
lo Impose sentence upon you. If you
bad taken care of yourself, as you
ought to have done, you wuuld not have
laid your hand on your employers
money. I am inclined to give you an
other chance. If you will agree to take
the pledge and do something to restore
yourself to the place you ought to
occupy in this community, I feel like
giving you one more chance."
Kearney promised that he would do
as suggested, and sentence was sus
pended until the February sessions,

Allows Claim for Nursing.
.Judge Vosburg, In Orphans' court,
yesterday handed down an opinion al
lowing $72 out of the estate of the late
P. N. Sencfelder to Mrs. Peter Schmidt,
with whom the deceased had boarded,
for services rendered him as a nurse
during his fourteen months' Illness.
The heirs contested Mrs. Schmidt's
claim on the ground that $12 over and
above his board, which the deceased
had given her In his life time, amply
compensated her for what extra serv
ice she performed.
Judge Vosburg finds that 6 a month
for fourteen months, minus the $12
given the claimant by the deceased dur
ing his Illness, Is a fair allowance, and
directs judgment accordingly.

A Foreign Observer Notes It as Our
Chief Characteristic.
From tho Portsmouth, X. H Chronicle.
An Intelligent visitor from abroad,
who recently made an extended tour
of the United States, said to nn Inter
viewer that the thing which Impressed
him most was the patriotism of the
American people. Patriotism existed
in all countries, lie said, hut nut such
patriotism as was found lu America.
It was to this love of country that he
attributed the rapid growth of the na
tion and the marvelous success of the
American arms.
The lllppancy and carele.--sne.ss, which
have generally been considered the
worst traits ot the American character,
this keen observer declared existed only
on the surface. At bottom, according
to his opinion, tho Aiiifricau is the most
earnest of men, and although he is not
likely to let trllles bother him, If he can
help it, he Is capable of the deepest feel
ings and one of the deepest ot these is
his patriotism.
"Tho American Is a good friend,"
said the gentleman from abroad, "Ho
Is also a hard lighting but generous
eueuo. Insult him or his country and
you make him the most pugnacious of
individuals. Apologize for tho Insult,
and hu offers you his hand. I like
Americans and I wish that my own
people wore mure like them."
A word of pratsu carries more
weight with thu averago American
thuu u word ot censure, Foreign cen
sure troubles hhu very little and while
lie may not put too much commence in
foreign praise, he Is usually ready to
accept friendly overtures ami men of
the character quoted above ure more
likely tn see him as ho Is than those
who come to tills country looking for
things with which to llud fault. Most
of the lutler class are given plenty of
opportunities for fault (hiding and (heli
