visitors pounded out six runs In the ninth and

The original development of 50.000 horse
power on the American side of Niagara
Falls is soon to be supplemented bv an
equal amount on thts Canadian shore dur
ing the coming year, and contracts are
already, signed which contemplate a to
tal of not less than 110.000 in units of 10,
000 horsepower each. It is, in fact, ex
pected that about 350,000 horsepower will
soon be supplied and the rental is esti
mated at about $7,000,000 annually. Within
ten years it is prophesied that a million
horsepower, at least, will be furnished
by Nlasrara Falls. The most careful
measurements fail to indicate any effect
on the falls themselves when the power

The "annual report of the treasurer of
Harvard University for the year 1901-1902
&hows an increase in the funds and bal
ances, exclusive of gifts for capital ac
count — that is, gifts to form new funds or
to increase old ones — of $267,157. Including
the gifts for capital account, which
amounted to $727,848, the total increase in
the funds and balances was $995,003. This
brings the total of the university's Invest
ed funds and cash on hand at the end
of the last fiscal year up to $14,114,541, as
compared with $13,119,538 at the end of the
preceding year. The total of the funds
and balances always shows an increase,
owing to the gifts received each year for
capital account; but last year there was "a.
decrease in the funds and balances exclu
sive of gifts, owing to the fact that pay
ments had been made on construction ac
counts In anticipation of certain gifts for
new buildings.— New Bedford Standard.

The Negro Strain.
Occasionally it happens that negroes
are white, but for ail that they are still
negroes, since they possess every charac
teristic, save one, of their race. Linnaeus
long ago remarked that color was, after
all, merely a secondary character. The
negroes of which we speak are of pure
stock without any admixture of white
blood. A family of the sort has relently
been studied in Mississippi, where a trav
eling archaeologist noticed a number of
albino negro children at work in a cot
ton - field. Inquiry developed the fact
that they descended from an albino
grandfather who married a black woman
and whose three sons were all normal
and black. All the sons married black
women. Two of them had children who
vcre perfectly normal in respect of color.
k The third married twice. By the first
wife he had six children— five, black and
one albino; by the second he had nine
children— six black and three albinos. The
albinism, therefore, skipped an entire
generation, appearing only— with grand
children of the original parent', and then
only in certain cases. — New York Sun.

CAUSE REMANDED.
. The United States Circuit Court of Ap
peals, represented by Circuit Judges Gil
bert, Ross and Morrow, opened the May
term of the court in this city yesterday
morning and handed down decisions in
the following cases:
Mary McCune, by Daniel Donahue bar
runrdian ad Htem, vs. N. Fred Ksslc and
Emma C. Easlsr. his wife — Appealed from the
United States Circuit Court of the. District
of Washington. The appellant claims a hair
Interest in a Government homestead patent
to a quarter section of land in Lincoln County.
Washington, on the ground that the homestead
Is community property, her father, William
McCuno, haying: died before making final proof
and completing his residence, and the widow,
her mother, . having complied with the pro
visions of the law und received the homestead
patent. The property was afterward sold by
the widow to the appellees. The United States
Circuit' Court of Washington decided that the
daughter did not held any title In the land,
because the father died before he had ac
quired any, devisable interest and the rroperty
right, passed to his widow by reason of her
complying with the provisions of the land law»
of the United States. The judgment of the
Circuit Court Is affirmed.
The case, has been in the courts for
many months. It began in Wl. shortly
after the death in England of Mr*
Abrook. Collins appeared before Ju.ls's
S'oss and after announcing that Mrs.
Abrook's estate was a very small one r .ad
Mrs. Ellis appointed special administra
trix. The following day Mrs. Ellis and
Collins went to the Hibernia Bank and
the- German Savings and Loan Society
Bank and withdrew therefrom $17J>11 on
deposit in the name of Mrs. Abrook.
Abrook heard of the transaction and en
deavored to stop his stepdaughter fr<»m
taking any further steps. Mrs. Ellis had
gone to England, however, with all but
$7500. that sum having been deposited!
with the Crocker-Woolworth Bank in Col
lins* name. Abrook had sufficient •.•;iii.se
to have the order granting Mrs. Kilia
special letters revoked, and did so, and
then brought suit to recover the balance
of his wife's fortune. The case was as
signed to Judge Hebbard. It was contin
ued from time to time on motion of « >>!
lir.s, and when a jury trial was demand
ed the suit was transferred to Judsro
Graham's court. More continuances fol
lowed on various pretexts, until JmUe
Graham grew tired and took decided ac
tion, much to the discomfiture of Coll!na
and his client.
It came about fn this way. The caso
v.as set for trial befcre a Jury in Judge
Graham's court yesterday. When the com
was called J. S. Meyer, an, assistant ot o.
D. Collins, attorney for Mrs. Ellis, asked
for a continuance on the ground that
Collins was engaged elsewhere. He of
fered an affidavit made by Collins, in
which was given numerous reasons why
the request should be granted. The ex
cuses did not suit Jud^e Graham, who
ordered Meyer to proceed with the easa
stating that "too many continuances had
been granted." and he also intimated
that he was under the impression that
Collins was "dousing the wheels of jus
tice." Meyer refused to go on with tne
case, and Judge Graham ordered T. L>.
R'ordan. attorney for the plaintiff, to
present hi3 evidence. The attorney took
the stand himself and denounced all the
statements made in Collins' affidavit as
falsehoods. He then called Abrook to tha
stand, and the jury after his statement
gave him a verdict for the amount ha
sued for.
The suit of Johi Abrook 'ag.alnst Mrm,
Clara Ellis, his stepdaughter, formerly
special administratrix of the estate of
Mary Abrook, the deceased wife of the
plaintiff, came to an abrupt ending la
Judge Graham's ourt yesterday, and
the court gave Abronk judgment for JiMM,
the amount he sued Tor.
