The law nnd the Dos.

the full bench of the supreme court
lately so held, according to the Bo
tun fYangcript, in the ease ot Arte
lUUh Hodgson against Charles H.
Hndjcf-ou and William T. Tat»l> y
The three parties live in Ded->
ham. The plaintiff’ was out riding
accompanied by his two dogs. A
shepherd dog owned by the defen
dant followed the carriage and got
into a tight with one of the plain
tiffs dogs. Tie went up to the
dogs and seized the defendant’s dog
when it turned on him and bit his
hand The suit was brought und r
public statutes, chapter 102, section
03, and the plaiutiff claimed he
was not obliged to prove at tin
tiial that he was in the exercise of
due cure. The court holds that he
was und says : “In the case at bar
the plaintiff’ voluntarily submitted
himself to danger and we have no
doubt that the ruling of the court
below was right.
Another dog-bite case to call
forth an expounding of the law is
t hat of Jesse O Boulester, of Rock
ville, against Charles W. Parsons,
of Walpole. The bite in this case
vas inflicted upon a horse, which
which died in consequence and the
plaintiff sued for his loss. jTlu
plaintiff’s brother was driving an
express wagon, drawn by a pair of
horses, along a country road; and
m- -th« rear of this w&gou was
another horse attached to a singh
wagon. The defendant's dog ra.i
out of his master’s yard and bit the
horse attached to the tingle
vehicle.
The defendant contended it was
negligence on the part of the
plaintiff to lead a horse harnessed
in a wagon behind as was this one,
and thereupon the plaintiff re
quested the court to instruct the
jury in substance as follows: “A
man has a right to lead a horse in
the way and mannej described, and
the mere fact that he was so lead
ing a horse is not such evidence of
negligence as would preclude the
plaiutiff from recovering in this
action for the bite of the dog.”
The judge at the trial refused so to
rule, and submitted the question to
the jury whether the method of
traveling adopted was negligent
and was such as to induce an at
tack by the dog The jury found
for the defendant, and to the re
fusal of the court to rule as above
the plaintiff excepted.
The full court sustains the plain
tiffs exceptions and sava: “We are
of opinion that the ruling requested
should have been given in substance.
While the doctrine of contriubting
negligence has been often said to
apply to an action on the public
statutes, chapter 102, section 93,
and we have no doubt it does apply
where the plaintiff’ incites or pro
vokes a dog, and it may be in other
cases, the doctrine has no applica
tion. to the case at bar. The lead
ing of a horse behind a wagon was
simply a condition and not in any
sense a contributing oausedf the
injury. * * * To hold that the
question whether leading a horse
behind a wagon should be sub
mitted to tno jury as evidence of
negligence on the part of the
plaintiff in inducing an.attack by a
dog, would render it to
submit to the jury £he
whether the color 0£ the h*rse or of
Ihe wagon, or of the clothes of th%
driver might not have induced an
attack The law does not pay this
renp ct to the oh iracteris ics or
p -ejudicfS of dogs.”

Thv rule of the Dead Letter of
ti e is to mak* extraordinary effor
o return all missent letters which
are found to contain money. But
b ind obedience to this rule is the
basis of an entertaining s’ory. A
boy in
Skokomisu reservation, which is
about three miles from the poscof
rice of Union City, State of Wash
ington, wrote a letter to his brother
at Sea beck some time ago, inclos
ing in it a small auui of money.
He also wrote on the envelope
hat if it should not be delivered in
P’opor tiaas it wax to bn returned
m the writer. His brother did not
call for it and it returned to
U mon City. The Postmaster there
had not heard of the boy, and on
inquiry f illed te find him. Accord
ingly he eerrt the letter to the Dead
Let ter office.
On arrival hero it was ope..ed,
and it hid money in it; it was re
turned to Union City with a long
letter of instructions to find th*s
writer if possible. After inquiry
the boy was at 1 ist found, and was
requested to go in person, claim the
letter and receipt for if, and the
Postmaster had to go through as
much red tape as if the letter con
sumed SI,OOO. The joke becomes
evident when it is known that the
l.lia Wt.ar amOUlltfed tO
only a btv*-cent pntag j stamp and
a copper cent.—N. Y. Tribune.
On the wall of the south aisle of
Hereford Cathedral, accessible to
the visitor at all times, is preserved
the celebrated “Mappa Mundi”
(date circa 1282-1300.) This is
tbt work of an ecclesiastic, who is
•supposed to be represented in the
right-hand corner on horseback, at
tended by his page and greyhounds
This is said to be one of the most
remarkable monument of its kind
in existence, b ung the largest and
most interesting of all the old maps
duawn on a single sheet of stout
vellum. The world is here repre
sented as round, surrounded by th*
ocean. At the top of tho map (the
east) is represented Paradise, with
its river and tree; also the eating of
the forbidden fruit and the expul
sion of our first parents. Above is
a remarkable representation 'of the
day of judgment, with the Virgin
Vlary interceding for the faithful,
who arc seen rising from their
graves and beiug led within the
walls of heaven. The map is chiefly
tilled with ideas taken from ancient
historians. I here are .numerous
figures of towns, animals, birds and
tish, with grotesque creatures. The
four great cities are made very
prominent J erusahou Babylon,
Rome and Troy. In Great Britain
most of the cathedrals are men
tioned.—r Ex.

i Antwerp, June 16. —The general
■ committee having charge of the ar
rangements for the World’s Press
Congress which is called to as
semble in this city early in
h< Id a meeting today in the Ameri
can building of the International
Exposition. M Juillery, ex-Pre»i-
of ihe Chamber of Represen
tatives and a in *-in tier of the laat
cuniuet, presided, ai.d was sup
ported by M Sim-kens, President
of the Court of Justice, J. P. Hy
land of Chicago, representing the
United States, Herbert Cornish of
London, secretary of the' Institute
of Journalists, Victor, Ganger of?
Berlin. M. Souverino, of Si.Petera
burg, M. Torelli Viollierof Italy,
M. Gaston Verardi, of Paris, M.
Alonzo D. Bcrnza, of Spain, and
delates from Switzerland, Portu*
gal, Holland, Norway, Denmark,
Austro-Hungary.
President Juillery congratulated
the committee upon th* large num
ber of acceptances that bad been
received in response to its invita—.
ti..*n and laid stress upon the feci
that this would be the first inter
national congress of the newspapi r
press that has been held in Europe.
The decision of the organization
committee to exclude all discussion
in reg ird to race, nationality, re- ,
ligion and politics had, he said,been
received with especial favor, and
he wan sangnine that the main ob
ject of the gathering that of dis—
cussing methods whereby the status
of the press generally might be im
proved—would be materially ad
vanced. He referred in apprecia
tive terms to the fact that a num-
her of editors from the United
St» tes who are now touring. Europe
as a part of editorial excursions
would participate in the proceeding
of the Congress. It was decided
to make the question of a formation
of a union between the press asso
ciations of every country repre
sented in the conference the special
order for the opening day. Dele
gates from the municipality re
ported a long program pf hospi
talities and courtesies 'to be ex.
tended to the visitors from abroad.
The Mexican Government has
received official advices that the
Topoiobampo co-operative colony
of Americans in the State of Sina
loa is having severe experiencep in
carrying out the ideas promulgated
by the promoters - of the scheme.
There is great dissension ,in the
ranks of the colonists, and, a large
number of them have withdrawn
from the original enterprise. The
plan to build a railroad from To
poiobampo across Tierrk Mad re
mountains to Eagle Pass, Tex., hat
not been abandoned* but (he work
will be done by private capital and
not be made a co operative enter ?
prise, as was at first intended. The
colonists have been given every op
portunity to fully test the Bellamy
co-operative plan and have not
been successful.~Yuuia Times.
