Get a Bottle Today 1 ,>6l Popular Talks cn Law The Municipality and Shade Trees By Walter K. Towers, A. 8., J. D., of the Michigan Bar. The be it city, town or village is given a wide control over the streets within the corporate limits and in addition hears a heavy responsibility in Ibis regard. Not infrequently dif ficulties arine between the munici pal authorities having the streets within their charge'and the owner of property facing on the streets. Shade tries are a constant cause of conflict. The property owner may have a fine row of tree* along the street and these trees may appear to the authorities to be an obstruction to the highway. The owner objects to their remov al. What are his rights? A shade tree may bo in the way of a pro jected sidewalk. Must the tree be removed? The limbs of trees may overhang the street or sidewalk in such a way as to obstruct the public way. May the authorities remove the limbs or cut down the entire tree? The first question that arises in Hiich coses is as to the legal own ership of the land upon which the trees lire situated. Let us sup pose that the trees have been planted on a strip between the sidewalk and the curb. This strip is usually a part of the land set aside for the use of the public as a street. A part of It has not been paved but has been set aside as a parkway, or for future need should the paved portion of the street require widening. Thus the trees technically speaking, are within the street. In perhaps a majority of cases the owners of the property adjoining the street own the land In front of their lots to the center of the street. They may not exercise such a complete control over the portion of the ground beyond the sidewalk, as that part has been set aside for the use of the public as a whole in passing. In legal phraseology the land owner retains title to the land beyond the street line to the center of the street, but he owns it subject to an easement. That is he must allow all members of the public to come and g oat will using the way for the normal pur poses of a street. He must allow the municipality to control it and keep It in a condition fit for pub lic use. The owner may not use his property beyond the street line in a manner that will in any way interfere with the passage of the public. There are few practical uses to which the owner may put the property beyond the street line without interfering with its use as a highway and so he comes to regard his holdings as extending simply to the street line. In not a few cases the munici pality doe* own the street—has actual legal title to It—the owner of the adjoining property having no title. Who owns the street, whether property owner or mu municipality, is a question of tact In each Individual case. This may vary from state to state or even from town to town or street to street. It depends not only on the law of the particular state, but upon the exact rights which the public was given when that par ticular street was dedicated to public use or ws opened by other means. If the property owner owns the title to the street he owns the trees that grow in front of hie property within the street line. But though he may own the treea this does not prove that the mu nicipality may not insiat that they they be remoi ed. The power and duty rests with the municipal au thorities to keep the atreet in a| proper condition for travel. If the trees amount to obtrruction In the street the municipality miy require that they be ,remo\ e'l. Trees In the street that are ob struction* amount to a legal nuis ance anil may be removed as such. But shade trees are generally re f irtled with favor by the law and ln.-y do not amount to a nuisance where they do not actually ob struct travel along the street or highway. Not a few cases have ruled that municipal authorltlea cannot declare trees in the streets to be a nuii.ince unless they do obstruct travel. Such rulings nave been made in such states as Geor gia, lowa, Maryland , Michigan. New Jersey. New York and Ohio. In other state*, as California. Illi nois, North Carolina, and Wiscon aln, it haa been held that the de cision of the municipal authorities ia final. They are In control of the streets and if they rule that a tree i* an obstruction their de cision i* final and the court* ot law will not conaider the ques tion. In any atate • wide control over the street* by the municipali ty must be recognised. If the public authorities rule that • tree is an obstruction to the street the property owner had best bow to their decision, rather than enter upon involved and expensive liti gation, unless the action of the authorities is clearly unfair, and the tree in question Is clearly not in any way an obstruction to the street. Perhaps the principal advantage of the position of the land owner who has title to the center of the street i* that as he owns the tree he baa direct property rights in it If such is the caie the authorities muit first notify the owner to re move hii tree from the public way. A reasonable length of time must be allowed him to e'cher trans plant the tree or cut it down and utilize the timber for his own pur poses. If he does not do this the authorities-jnay then remove the obstructing tree and charge the expense against the owner. A tree which in any way ob structs the sidewalk is as truly an obstruction as though It blocked the wagon way and may be treat ed in the same manner. If over hanging limbs amount to an ob struction the tree may be trimmed up, or, if necessary, removed en tirely. If the municipal authorities re move shade trees belonging to a property owner for a legal reason the property owner has, in law, suffered no wrong. But ia the municipality removes wees without legal basis the property owner may recover damages for the loss anu injury to his property. It nn.v other parties injure the trees with out Justification the owner may re cover damages in a suit at law. Even thougn the city hold title to the streets and so to the trees in the street the owner of property fronting on the stree's still has some rights in the trees. In one he was allowed to recover from a f;a* company which had negllgent y allowed gas to escape from ltd mains and kill shade .trees locat ed in front of the property, but "within the street, which was own ed by the city. Generally the telephone and tel egraph companies may be given authority to string their wires along public highways, though the courts of some states do not per mit this. In such cases the legis lative body may also give authori ty h' trim trees aw«y from the wires in case of necessity. Kut generally the companies are given no great liberties in this regard and must raise the wires above trees and otherwise avoid Injur ing them in every possible way, even though It Involves additional difficulty and expense. Legislatures and city councils may pass regulations to protect tree located within --the line of the roads and so enforce these meas ures as to prevent any damage to the shade trees. A Week at The Moody Bible Institute. It wan the privilege of the writer to spend a week at the Moody Bible Institute of Chicigo and to attend the opening exer cises of the last term of its 36th year, which i* marked by the lar gest enrollment in ita hlatory. Almost every Btate ia represent ed as well ai many other coun tries, among them Australia, Nor way, Swet'den, Japan, Canada and the British Isles. Prom his wide experience and obaervations as an evanjreliat, Mr. Moody was convinced that there many men and women who would bo enlarged in their christian lives und become efficient, workers at homa and abroad if only they could receive proper training in Bngtlsh bible, Gospel Music and Practical Methods of Christian Work. The plana auggested by him were approved by men and women who were cloaa to him and funds neceasary to start the work were contributeb by Jhoae earnest Christian frienda. The Institute began in a email way; but from ita beginning until the present than naa been a Sradual and healthful growth, un er the blessing of God, and be cause of Mr. Moody's vision, there conies to-day from all orer the world this caH for trained work era, auch aa he away back In ISM, had prayed/and planned for. Notwith«lHiding the crowded condition,ltalian department has been opened, the object of which ia the training of young Italiana, so as to reach the Ital ians in this country, and also to reach those in their own country. One of the most aealous of stu dents waa an Italian who went from the Institute back to Italy and is now working with ona 01 the regular denominational boards there. During the flrat few daya of the term the atudents were privileged to hear Rev. O. Campbell Mor ?:an, D. D.. of London, who apoke o them on the theme "Going out after the soul." He warned the students not to place side by side with Jesus any other auch aa Con fuclous or Buda. " Follow Jesus only, and follow him by way of the cross to the resurrection life. Then only can you shepherd the sheep."

BUBBCRIBB FOR THB GLEANER, •I.M A YEAR __ -IN ADVANCE * * t—Remains of Ons of the Bpanlsh Forts at Porto Bello. 2—Native Vil lage on Taboga Island. I "Dow* vsrdure-ciod slopes and tec racing reaches Where orange and mango and pine apple grow. One wanders through Bden to ocean waahed benrtiea * An Bden that only the sun-children know." Thus James 8. Gilbert, the late la mented poet of Panama, wrote of Taboga Island. It was so enticing that I determined to be one of the suu-ehlldren for a day or two and so steamed away in a little launch twelve miles out Into the Pacific to that beauty spot It is all that Mr. Gil bert ealled K. and more, and It is no wonder that the RanlUrlum, estab lished there by the French canal com pany and reopened by the Americans, ia so wall patronised. If you are a canal employe—white—and have been ill, the doctor may be kind enough to aend you over to Taboga for two weeks to recuperate. If you are a mere visitor you can put up. at the unpretentious little hotel con ducted by William Jonee, the Ameri can six-footer who looks like a mlnsr and dancee like a cotillon leader. In case you will be fortunate, for you will find those "verdure-clad slopes" gorgeous with flowers and alive with brilliant birds, and the "ocean-washed beaches," the flneet places in the world for a swim. Too can sail about the pretty bays with the native fishermen, or you can ellmb up the hills where the boys are vociferously driving the klne home to be milked, or you can merely lie In the shade and dream dreams of the Spanish galleons and the buccaneers. A more delightful place for rest and tbs repair of shattered nerves would be hard to find.

De Ijjque, the second bishop of Panama, looked upon the Island, ■aw that It was good and established there his oountry residence. In fact he maintained a household there the Tear round, for, like many another churchman of the old days, be did not adhere closely to the rule of celibacy. Hta memory Is pneserved by a bath ing place In a stream that runs down the mountain side, called the Bish op's Pool. It was reserved for the use of him and his retinue. Above it Is the Family Pool, for women and children, and atlll higher up is the Pool of the Letters, for the men. The hut one derives its name from the Inscription. "J. P. 8., Ohio" carved on a near-by rock. This Is a reminder that in 1862 the Fourth Infantry, U. 8. A., crossed the isthmus en route for garrison duty In California, hav ing sailed from New York on the United Btates mall steamer Ohio. Cholera was prevalent at the time in Panama and the American soldiers and the sailors from the Ohio were attacked by the disease, about eighty Jof them dying. Some of the sick were left on Taboga Island to recov er, and evidently one of them did re cover sufficiently to climb up to the bathing pool and leave the record that is a mystery to the native in habitants of this day. Incidentally U. 8. Grant, then a captain, was with the Fourth infantry on that trip. If you climb up the hill, following this stream most of the way, you will come to a place at the summit of a pass called Las Cruces. There, set In cement, are three small crosses commemorating the most exciting in cident In the Island's history. Ac cording to a Spanish ' work written early In the last century, a shipload nf Peruvian Dlrates came sailing the coast In ISIS znn decided Taboga wal a good place to loot. They land ed and drov*> the small Spanish gar rison out of the village and up the mountain. But In the pass the sol diers rallied, the Inhabitants came" to their assistance and there, siays the chronicler, a roost bloody combat raged for hours. Finally the pirates were routed and fled to their ship, leaving three men* dead on the field of battle^ The isthmus reeks with history, some of the most Interesting pas sages of which have to do with Porto Pello. J3ut the visitor who goes there with mind full of the mighty fights mil great trade of the old Spanish days will bo woefully tfla appointed by the town as it now Is. Romance, commerce, everything at tractive has fled long ago from that place and Porto Bello is nothing but a dirty, Immoral little village, roll of low cantlnas, slatternly natives and mangy curs. At each side of the town Is the ruin of a Spanish fort. Its plcturesquenoss marred by fisher men's nets and the local washing hung up to dry. Thus the work of man has decayed, but Nature is as kind as ever to Porto Hello. Its bottle-shaped har bor Is one of the prettiest to be found, with promontories guarding the entrance, beautiful hills on both sides and entrancing little rivers down from the moun tains and through the jungle into its upper end. One hill opposite the town boasts the remains of three un usually Interesting Spanish forts. One Is at the water's edge, anotlitr severai hundred yards up the Elope, and these two were once connected by a covered stone stairway the ruins of which still provide the easiest means of ascending. On the sum mit of the hill is the third fort, a mighty square tower surrounded by a deep moat The walls are almost Intact but the roof has fallen In and the fortress Is full octrees and shrub bery. With these three forts, two others protecting the harbor entrance, the two at the ends of the town and an other Just above it, Porto Bello might well seem to have been Impregnable, yet It was taken twice by the Eng lish. Sir Francis Drake planned to capture It In 1596, but just as his ships were about to b"ir'.i the attack brake died and was burled In tho mouth of the harbor. Dispirited by the loss of their leader, the English sailed away, but Capt. William Parker took up the project In 1602. With two ships he got past the first forts at night and after a desperate fleht captured and sacked tho city, carry ing off 10,000 ducts' worth of plunder. The second taking of Porto Bello was the first notable exploit of Henry Morgan, the famous .buccaneer, as an Independent commander of a fleet. Sailing Into what Is now Colon har bor, he took his men up a river in canoes, landed at a place called Es tera Longa Lemos and marching through the jungle, attacked the city from the rear. First capturing the castle above the town, he shut the garrison In one room and blew them and the fort to pieces with gunpow der. The governor, the citizens and the rest of the soldiers, surprised and terror-stricken, were soon driven into one of the other forts and for hours they bravely withstood the assaults •»»« h«c?ineers until, as Eequeme!- Ing tolls us, Captain Morgan Began 16 despair of tie wl.ol > success of th» enterprise. Finally Ae had a number of ladder* made and forced the priests and ntins whom he had cap tuied to set them up against the walls. Many of these poor crenturea were killed by the defenders, tut at last the ladders were placed and the buccaneers swarmed up them carrying fireballs and pots of powder which they kindled and hurled among the, Spaniards. The garrison surrendered | at discretion, but the gallant governor defended himself so obstinately that the English were forced, to kill Mm. ] Morgan remained In Porto Bello sev prnl weeks; plundering the place and torturing the citizens to induce them to reveal the hiding places of their riches. Though an Important place In the transshipment of gold from the west coast of South America, Porto Bello never was a large town, but for sev eral weeks each year It was very populous. This was aj the time of the annual fair, when the galleons from Spain were In the harbor wait ing for the mule trains to bring the gold from Panama. Then merchants and adventurers from all that part of the world gathered In the village and trade was brisk Ih the big building now called the custom house, whose ruined walls still ere standing.

Though doctors long realized that, thanks to a better knowledge of sanitation and personal hygiene, people are living longer than formerly, the much greater relative longevity of women as shown In the recently pub lished English national debt o&lce'B re port on the mortality of government life annuitants has come as a general surprise. In a summary of these figures it was •hown that the expectation of life of a woman of fifty is now more than a year grater than it was in 1876, while that of a man of the same age Is only three months greater. A London physician says that "the essential cause of death is a wearing out from overwork of our brain cells. Women may be just as brainy as men, but do not work with their brain cells as vigorously or as continuously as do male relatives. If they dhl there Would not be so great a disparity in the length of life of tho two sexes." . Another consultant puts down wom an's greater expectation of life to the more sheltered existence she leads, and the lack of the physically depres sing competition which is part of nearly every man's life. "A woman may have hard work to do,' he explained, "but except for the few who work in offices or who follow professions, they work In their own homes and at a pace they set for themselves. The home is also, as a rule, vastly more airy, sunny and generally more wholesome than Is her husband's shop or office." Tteh relieved in 20 minVites by \V .1] ford's Sanitary Lot i*>u.
