Tbe appellate division of the Supreme court today btnded down a decision discharging from custody George W. Perkins, whom the Supreme court had held to await a action of the grand jury on a charge ot grand larceny in connection with the campaign contributions of the re York Life Insurance company to tbe Republican national committee. District Attorney Jerome, npon hearitig tbe court's decision diicharg ing Mr. Perkins, said: "1 shall appeal thia case to the court of appeals and get a decision there Justice McLaughlin, who wrote the prevailing opinion, said: If tbe facts set out in the deposi tions upon which, the warrant here was issued be construed in the most liberal way consistent with a juditiial deter mination, I am of the opinion that such facta do not establish that tbe crime of grand larceny has been committed, as the same is denned by tbe penal code. The defendant had right to give of bis own funds to the chairman of the Republican national committee. The relator made the contribution at tbe request of the president of tbe insur ance company with the express under standing that it would repay him. The money belonging to the insurance com pany was appropriated openly and avowedly by the relator, after all the facta had been stated to the finance committee, to reimburse him for the money which he had previously ad vanced." Justice Patterson, while agreeing that Mr. Perkins cannot he found guilty ot larceny, said that he may be compe ted by a civil action to make restitution, inasmuch as the officers of the company had no power to make tbe contribution. Justice Ingraham says it must be underdo d the court is not now concerned with the civil responsi hility of Mr. Perkins to the company He continues: "It was McCall who appropriated the money of the corporation, and the officers or employes of tbe company, who obeyed his direction in making that payment, without intent to do more than carry out the instructions of the president of the corporation, were not, as I view it, responsible for the act." Justice McLaughlin says: "It cannot be said that Mr. Perkins did not have a moral claim, even though, owing to the fact that the pres ident doubtless exceeded his authority, be may have had no legal claim for reimbursement." i NEW BILL OF EXCEPTIONS.

I M . . .. . luul.llUd sou. It Will oe iierwr after all It will not t wagtM on very unequal terms. The advantages wincn the Southeru road, and lKirts enjoy are not so decided aa iipi'ar on the sur face. Iu tiio first place, most of the Western grain for exrt originates In territory which Is pierced by Hues the Atchison, Hurllngtoii. ll.sk isian.i. Wabash and others that have direct rail connections with Chicago, but not with the Gulf. This lu Itself Is enougn to throw largo quantities of gralu Into the Western metropolis, whence It can still be hlpicd most cheaply to the Fast Then, in ootnt of distance the South ern roads have no great advantage. The short line distance from Omaha to .New Orleans Is l.tsiO miles; from Omaha to Baltimore, 1.273. This difference ot only nlsiut 2"0 mll, upon such a com uiiHllty as grain, Is "t enough to re quire any marked disparity In rates. In the third place, the cx-can dlstan.e to the European market from the Gulf port. Is from 2..VH) to 3.(M) ml lit greater than from Baltimore, and de spite all the uncertainty cnaracieriit tic of ocean rates such a doubling of the distance cannot but operate in tlie long run to raise the averuge quite ma terially. Finally must be mentioned the sujie rlor dockage and lighterage facilities ot the Eastern jsirta as compared with the Southern, and the greater density of traftic In the Eastern territory, which largely eliminates the excuse of moving empty cars. Taking all of these considerations togetner, u is quite apparent that In the contest for the control of the Western export trace the Eastern roads and ports, while seri ously menaced are by no means hoi leaely outclaased. By the exercise oi tbe keenest ingenuity, the most relent less energy, and the boldest enterprise they may contrive to retain a very fait share of this trade, thougtt aireaay their former monopoly Is gone forever, and when the Panama Canal Is com pleted a new and jierhnps an Irresist ible force will be thrown Into the scale against them. Preparing Potato r.ronnd. All potato growers admit that a soil that Is mellow and well-drained Is ah solutely essential for the Is-st suc-chi-In jMitato-growing ; this Is more than half the battle, and In this age of In sects and bacterial diseases one cannot afford to grow isitatoes for market tin less ho enn supply the soil and the soil condition mentioned. The thorough preparation of the seedlied Is also Im Hrtant, and the best growers prepnrr the soil as thoroughly as they would for wheat First grade tulwrs for seed and then constant cultivation to keer the weeds down are the rest of the es sentials In sui-cessful potato culture. In almost all sections, near large mar kets, Mitato-growlng Is exceedingly profitable, and the man with tho soli should raise the tubers. Xotea for the lie Keeper.

Then after that a fellow holds the ball between his legs, with a row of shaggy old boys behind him, who stand with glittering eyes and fangs protruding, while aomeliody blows a whistle and somebody else counts, any old way, till he comes to a certain numls-r, w hen the ball Is fired backward, someone catches It runs about six feet when Just twenty-one men pile on til in.
