THIS IS A FAIR FOR LOVKRS.
Hou the Maids of Luxembnrg Choose
Their Future Kuabandn.
Every year, on the first Thursday In
December, the peasants of the province
of Luxembourg flock into its chief town.
Arlon, in char-a-bancs, carts and every
other description of vehicle in order to
attend the “lovers' fair.” The young
people strike up acquaintance, while
their parents exchange confidences as
to the iiossibility of a match. The
young men, who invariably are dressed
In their best black clothes. ofTer pres
ents to the girls of their choice and
even go so far ns to claim a formal
engagement. These operations take
place openly In streets. In houses of re
freshment and in the public gardens.
All this, however. Is only a prelim
inary and of but slight interest com
pared with what follows, says the Kan
sas City Star. If two young folks be
come mutually attracted at this "fair,"
the respective families apply to a mar
riage broker, or. ns he Is called, "a holy
man." This person becomes the hon
ored guest In the house of the parents
of both contracting parties. He makes
himself acquainted with their exact so
cial position, their habits of life, their
tastes; transmits these details to the
“other side," indicates how housekeep
ing may be best started on the given
conditions; In short, he “fixes up" the
marriage. These brokers or holy men
are generally counted as first-rate
trenchermen and wine swallowers.
All the same, they are held In consid
erable esteem by the two families, at
whose tables they are accorded the
place of honor.
A month later—that is to say, on the
first Thursday In the New Year—there
Is a second “fair" at Arlon. Here the
lovers formally plight their troth, the
families give their mutual consent to
the union, and the broker receives his
remuneration—consisting of a commis
sion on the amount of the dowry, and,
In accordance with an ancient custom,
a pair of top boots and n top hat
Legal Information
By the laws In force In the Indian
Territory an action at law may be In
stituted against a person usurping an
office, either by the State or by the
party entitled to the office. This Is lu
lieu of scire facias and quo warranto
or an Information In the nature of a
quo warranto. Hut according to the
decision of the Court of Appeals of the
Indian Territory In Ite Le Bosquet v.
Myers. 103 Southwestern Reporter, 770,
the statutory provisions apply only to
public officers, and not to proceedings
for the ouster of officers of a private
corporation.
The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York, In
United States v. Delaware, Lackawan
na and Western Railroad Company,
152 Federal Reporter, 209, holds that
a shipment from New York City to Buf
falo by way of New Jersey and Penn
sylvania Is Interstate commerce, and
that, therefore, the giving of rebates
on such shipment violated the Inter
state commerce act As supporting au
thorities are cited Hanley v. Kansas,
etc., R. Co., 187 U. S. 617, 23 Supreme
Court Reporter, 214, 47 L. Ed. 333;
Lord v. Steamship Co., 102 U. S. 541,
23 L. Ed. 224: Pacific Coast Steamship
Co. v. Railroad Commissioners, 18 Fed
eral Reporter, 10.
In order to protect the levees In the
DeBka I.evee District against the well
known proclivities of hogs to root, and
thus weaken the levees, the Arkansas
Legislature has provided for the sum
mary destruction of hogs running at
large on such levees. This law Is In
Ross v. Desha Levee Board, 103 South
western Reporter, 380, by the Arkan
sas Supreme Court, held to be a valid
exercise of the police power of the
State. The court says: "The State,
where It has the power to provide for
destruction of property, may authorize
this to be done summarily In cases
where the property Is of no great value
and the emergency Is such as not to
admit of delay.”
According to the decision of the New
York Supreme Court In Brooklyn Dis
tilling Company v. Standard Distilling
and Distributing Company, 106 New
York Supplement 264, the New Y'ork
anti-trust law does not invalidate a
lease of a distillery to a corporation or
ganized to create a monopoly in the
manufacture and sale of alcoholic and
spirituous liquors, even though the
lessor knew that the motive of the
lessee in taking the lease was to create
a monopoly. The court takes the posi
tion that the law does not prevent a
person from buying or leasing property
in furtherance of the creation of a
monopoly. The controlling point with
the court was that the lessor did not
in any way become a party to the ille
gal combination or participate to any
extent in the scheme to avoid the law.

The runners of Magnolia Township.
Putnam County. Illinois, hare equipped
a $10,000 schoolhouse to take the place
of several old-fashioned schools. The
more distant pupils are brought to
school each day by two wagons, at the
cost of 9 cents per pupil daily. Four
teachers are employed, two In the
grades and two in the high school
branches, which include domestic
science and agriculture. The lowest
wages paid to any teacher is $00 per
month and laboratories are provided for
the searching of science. The pupils of
this school are lacking none of the ad
vantages that are given the children In
town. The school, of course, costs more
than the old-fashioned school, but eco
nomic advantages can be readily seen,
in the well-settled rural districts it Is
possible to consolidate four or more dis
tricts and the fact that transportation
is provided for those who live a consid
erable distance from the school cuts
down materially the savings and results
in conducting one school where four
were previously supported.
