PAYING FOR HIS FUN.-Moscs Chamber
lin, the wealthy Old man who was convicted
in December OF sending scurrilOuS postal
cards through the mails, was sentenced by
Judge Benedict yesterday 20 pay fine of
$500. In prOnOuncing sentence the Judge
said lie would not make further impriSou-
mcnt any part of the penalty for the offence
charged in the first count, and would suS-
counts. because il appeared from the certifi-
cate OF his physician that Imprisonment
would be dangerous To his life. He warned
the prisoner, however, that a repetition of his
offence would subject him to rearreSt and a
sentence upon all the cOunts.-N Y Sun, 18Th
