The Following Divided Pro-Rata -- Appraisal by Prize Courts The Victors Share Spoils. Phe )Yrk Evening Post Unless dll signs err, the bluejae- kets of the contending European fleets will make the biggest hauls of ! prize money since the good old pri vateering day of the Napoleonic wars Already scores of shipd have been seized or captured, and while mtermational Taw governing the seis Zure or capture of enemy's vessels on the Ligh seas or in hostile ports seams to be some-what vague in ac- tual application, it is fairly certain that a good many -of these prizes will be cor denned by the admiralty prize courts especially appointed for such cases, The proceeds will then be divided Pro rata among the captors, acedrd- Ing to some recognized scale of award to be fixed by each government. Prize money and bounty are no longer awarded in the United States navy, Proceeds io poigt cut, has been abolished by all the great Powers. 5 Very little is known /heére of the rules' governing distribution of prize- money in foreign navies. At the British Consulate it was stated that, failing more definite information, it was understood that no prizes would be sold until after the war, and that then the money accruing from such prizes would be distributed accord- ing to a prearranged schedule among the captors of the several vessels so sold, It is Interesting to note here that all of the contending Powers were Signatories of the Hague Convention of 1907 for the establishment of an International Prize Court, to which appeals may be taken from the decis- lons of the prize courts of the captor nations. This convention prescrib- ed that the court should consist of fifteen members, eight of whom should always be delegates of . the United States, Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Italy. and Japan, while the other se- ven should be chosen, turn by turn, from a list of the minor nations. Ap- beals to this tribunal from the judg- ment of the national courts may be based upon the ground that the judg- ment was wrong in fact or in law. An appeal may be taken by a neu- tral Power, if the judgment of the prize court injures its property or the property of its nationals, or if the capture of an enemy's vessel has taken place in its waters; by a neu- tral individual, if the judgment of the prize court has injurea his pro- perty, with the proviso, however, that his government may forbid him to take an appeal or else may take the appeal itself: and by an individ- ual subject or citizen of an enemy Power if the prize court's decision has injured him because his property consisted of "cargo carried in a neu- tral vessel or because the seizure was in violation, either of the provis- ions of a convention in force be- tween the belligerent Powers, or of An enactment issued by the belliger- ent captor. The importance of this last clause may be understood when it is con- sidered that the British and German Governments were signatories to an agreement to permit enemy's ships in their ports a certain time in which to leave after a declaration of hostili- ties. Neither of these Powers has yet observed this agreement, al- though it is understood that negotia- tions are In progress between them, through the intermediary of the Am- erican ambassaddrs at Berlin and London, for arranging a stated time in which all such captures may be made over, : It is fairly certain, of course, that if this is not done, after the war is over, the owners of vessels so seized will carry appeals to' the Internation- al Prize Court under both Germany and Great Britain were parties, Still other rules governing appeal fo the Iaternational Prize Court were established by the conference, The municipal law of the belligerent captor shall decide whether the case may be brought before the Interna- tional Court before or after trial by the captor's Prize Court, But if the Dational courts fail to give judgment within two years, the case may be carried direct to the International Court. If the International Court finds that a capture was wrongful, it may adjudge damages to the owner Of the vessel or cargo, in addition to ordering the return of the property. Under the law of the United Stat- es, the whole value of a prize was awarded to the captors when the prize was of equal or superior force to the vessel making the capture; but if the prize was of inferior force; then its value was divided equally | between the United States and the captors. : Thus men of Admiral Dewey's fleet contended that they should be awarded all of the prize money and bounty for the destruction.of the Spanish fleet at Manila, inasmuch as it was superior to them, taking into account the guns the forts and shore batteries - and: the torpedo fields, under whase. protection it lay, f But the courts held that the law ap. plied strictly to the force of hostile warships and not to any accessory aid they received from the shore; and that, fleet for fleet, the Spaniards quently, the crews of "8 sl "only one-hall the bounty money and proceeds arisiig from the sale of the wrecked Spanish warships "T's sometimes safer to throw kisses at a widow than it is to hand them to he ff.

Mrs. Thomas Berry, Sweet's Cor. ners, Aged Eighty-Five, Long Point, May 4 Whig read ers might be interested in a brief ac- count of the life of one of the oldest residents of Leeds County. The subject of this sketch is Mrs. Thomas Berry who lives in a cosy little home of her own, at Sweet's Corner's. Her maiden name was Sophia Wheeler and she was born at Long Point, about five miles from her home, on May 14th, 1830. Hence, in a few days she will. celebrate the eighty- fifth "anniversary of her birth and her many friends wish her many more. happy returns of the day. Her father was a U. E. Loyalist who came from Vermont, At the time of her birth, this country was a dense forest, having but four set- tlers in the section now known as Long Point, those settlers . being John Wheeler, David Townsend, Dan- fel O'Connor and Anson Lee, all of whom are long since deceased. Mrs. Berry can tell some wonderful and thrilling stories of wolves and Indi- ans, as she retains a perfect memory of her childhood days. She can al- £0 relate many ineidents of ihe great alarm felt at the time of the Rebel- | lion of Upper and Lower Canada, | 1837, when her father had to leave | his family to the care of his Indian friends while he accompanied Ser- | geant O'Connor, (grandfather of the | present Mayor A of Gananoque, Dr. | r'eérgus O)Connor) to Gananoque tol fight the enemy. She has been a witness Pf the development of this | country om the days of blazed | paths to the automobile sign posts of | the present day. { At the age of seventeen Sophia | Whepler was married to Thomas Bérry and after residing at Long Point for eleven years they moved to Sweet's Corners, in 1858, to a farm owned by her grandfather. There | they lived happily and prosperously, Mr. Berry following his occupation as | Harmer, and Mrs Berry as an fpdus-| trious wife and mother, untif the death of the husband several years ago. ' Their family consisted of one son, William who lives on a fine farm | near his mother's residente, and one daughter, Mrs. Henry Stevens, liv- ing in Smith's Falls.

S., the principal chemist of the Eng- lish government laboratories at I#®n- don, who has concentrated public at- tention upon the great value of the spectroscope as a means of de- tecting poisons such as strychnine, cocaine, morphine and similar dan- gerous drugs By throwing the ultra-violet part of the spectrum from such a source of light as is obtainable from spark- ing such a metal as iron, through the lenses of a quartz spectroscope, the lines of these drugs can be distinetly located.
