The case, as oponed by Mír Powell, was that his client wrote a satire apon women which numbers of people might object to. The author might have travelled upon the rugged and preci na path which some did in their
but in this case the defendant Mr Farrow must have gone even further Plaintiff's book was a grest sub- cess financially, co defendant might essay another book and akit upon plaintifs, which might also provoca - nuancial succoɛs. According same time after plaintiff's Lovely Woman came before the world, defen- dant's Lovely Man by A Cross-patch (W. E. Farrow) was inblühed, and it were the following words, of which plaintiff ___ seriously complained - If al married men were like unto Mr Crosland; widowhood, one would imaging, would un- doubtedly bo by far the happier state for their wives. That was an attack upon what Mr Crosland had alleged, namely, that the best thing for women was that they ell should be widows Such a statement (said counsel), which Mr Farrow wrote and Messrs. Skeffington had published is so- called fair criticism of Mr Crosland's work, was highly injurious to that gentleman, and ought to be met by substantial dans-

Fined For Obstruction.
The
Regiments Almost Entirely Annihilated.
LONDON, March 14. In his despatch General Kuropatkin refers to the losses sustained by the Russian forces, and mentions that two regiments in particular, were almost en- tirely lost, the survivors numbering 150 and 619 respectively.
From February 28 to March 1 the number of Russian wounded sent north was 47,581.
The Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and. Godown Company was summoned, at the Magistracy, this morning, before Mr H. H. J. Gompertz for causing an obstruction on the Praya East. The defendants ad- mitted the offence and it was stated the ob- struction was caused by about 50 casks of cement which were left so close to the tramline as to leave little room for the cars to pass along. The cement was being un- loaded from a steamer in the harbour, which had 30,000 casks of cement originally in tended for Port Arthur, on board. The cement was being conveyed on shore by
and being carried away by coolies. About lighters at the rate of about 4,000 per day two hundred thousand men.
250 coulies were, engaged and the trouble was occasioned by the second batch of coo lies not taking the casks on quickly enough.
A fine of $10 was imposed.

THE FOG.
Shipping Delayed:
The present heavy fog which has enfolded in its grip and shat out from view the
surrounding landscape and sexscape will be- long remembered by mariners as the worst soon along the past for many years. The immediate effects of the fog are apparent in: the late arrivals of steamers, and the delay in the despatch of outward mails,
Speaking to a passenger who came down by the **Princess Alice" from Shanghai our " representative was informed that when the
voise! left Woosung the weather was foggy, and until she reached port this morning, nothing but fog was met with. When near. ing Waglan it became so bad that the ves sel was forced to stop and the passengers
spent something like thirty hours on board
gazing out into the dense grey mist, which like an enveloping pall, enshrouded land and sea and aky alike. The deep solemn boom of the fog gun at Waglan lighthouse broke upon their cars at intervals in muffled tones. After considerable delay the cap- tain of the "Princess. Alice ”⠀
cautiously felt his way along, it was useless to try and pierce the gloom ahead, and gradually the "vessel lessened the distance between herself ̈

Pictures and heiroglyphics thus came into vogue, and the ers of records commenced.

If you have any of the above symptoms, your kidneys are either clogged or diseased, and these symptoms are warnings of more serious troubla to follow-Bright's disease, dropsy, or diabetes.
Whatever you do, whatever you think your disease is, look well to your kidneys at the first sign of anything wrong. Give them just the aid they require, in Doan's backache kidney pills, the great Quaker kidney medicine, and see how well and fit you feel after even a few doses. Their effect is marvellous and lasting.
Doan's backache kidney pills are a certain cure for all forms of kidney trouble. They instantly rollove the congested, overworked kidneys, and gradually bring them back to health. Their whole action is on the kid- neys and bladder--not on the bowls-and by doing one thing they do that one thing
well.
For 72 years Doan's backache kidney pill have been in use, and they are the first medicine in the world for kidney and
bladder troubles.
