! filled as if the selection had been made per-
sonally.
| Full instructions, recently compiled, and
giving full information upon every point in
detail, accompany each Machine, and enable
the most inexperienced to operate without
difficulty.
Our interest in the successful working of the
| Machines is not second to that of the purchas-
er, and we esteem it a privilege to aid, by cor
| respOndence or otherwise, any person who may
require it.

The Brooklyn Scandal in Court.
The civil suit brought for damages by Theo-

up this morning before Judge Reynolds in the
City Court of Brooklyn, which was crowded
with spectators, among whom were many
ladies'. Theodore Tilton was present at beside
his counsel. Beecher was absent, and was
represented by General Tracy.
When the case was called Mr.. Morris an
swered ready, but Beecher's counsel objected to
the trial being commenced before the appeal
was heard on an order issued by Judge Nealson,
and asked delay in order that certain papers
necessary in the case should be printed.
Judge Reynolds fixed the time for having the
argument on the appeal at 2 p. m. Friday next,
and the trial Of this case was set down for
Wednesday week, at 10 a. IN.
The district attorney then made an applica-
tion that Francis d. Moulton should plead to
the indictment found against him by the grand

Ex-Judge Fullerton, who appeared for
Moulton, expressed the opinion that this mat
ter was being pressed with unnecessary haste
by the District Attorney, who replied that it
was only taken in its order. The counsel for
Moulton then asked for a postponement until
tomorrow morning to put in special plea,
which was granted.

The counsel for Francis d. Moulton, after
the adjournment of the City Court of Brooklyn
to-day, filed an answer to the complaint of
Edna Dean Proctor. 1t is in the form of a
general denial that any libel has (been commit

Moulton's statement and the defendant has no
knowledge that the plaintiff was the person
alluded to- save from her claim, and leaves the
fact to be proved. Moulton's original state.

The New York Tribun in Horace Gree
ley's time was pretty bitter opponent, but
it never falsified election returns to spite a
personal foe. The official returns in twelve
voting districts Of the XIth Congressional
district show that the Republican candidate
had 1889 to 948 for the Democratic COMPETE
tor. These same districts as published by
the Tribune give the Republican 100 and
the Democrat 1544-a difference of 1925.
The Tribune editor considers the Republican
fact warrant great newspaper in publishing
incorrect election returns? At best, consid
ering it an error, it is not careful Journalism.
