MOTHER AND CMILD.
aceues I'm the General Sessions tn"t
Mado Men shed Tears.

N. y. sun
When tho trial of Mrs, Ellen Melon
ouob for receiving small wares that
were stolen from II. II. Macy & Co,
Inv her daughter Mary, beautiful child
| u years of age, was resumed yesterday
in the General Sessions, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Bell recalled Miss Toye,
a floor walker for II. III. Macy Il Co.
Then he poured out from a satchel a
collection of spools OF sewing machine
silk, hanks of floss silk, cases of needles,
tape measures, end knots OF braid
Miss Toye identified these wares, point
ing out those taken from the corduroy
bag that was tied about the girls waist,
and those found in her home.
After the summing up, Judge Glider
sleeve charged the jury that their YER
dict must hinge upon one question:
Did Mrs. McDonougb, knowing that
her child had stolen the wares from II.
II. Macy Co., take possession of them
with the intention of disposing OF them
for her own benefit. The jury were
in their room only twenty minutes.
Then they returned to the court room
with a verdict of not guilty. The
spectators applauded, but Judge Gill
dersleeve's gayel and the voices of the
officers restored quiet. Mary was
taken to the bar by an officer. She
pleaded guilty of stealing the wares.
Mrs McDonough was then taken to her
side.
1.-THE jury, Mrs, McDonough, "
Judge Gildersleove said, "have found
q verdict that, on the whole, Iapprove.
If l had been juror in this case, |
would probably have agreed to SINH
lar verdict. Your child will be sent to
an institution where her education
here Mrs. McDonough, realizing that
she must be separated from her child,
covered her face with her hands and
wept and morals will be carefully look
ed after"
Mary heard her mother sob. Her
lip quivered, her eyes filled and she
turned quickly to her mother She put
up one little white hand, drew one Of
her mothers hands away from her face,
stood on tptoe and kissed her. Some
of the men within and without the bar
had need for their handkerchiefs just
then.
You are at liberty, Mrs. McDonogh, "
Judge Gildersleeve added. But Mrs. Me-
Donogh did not stir.
Your Honor" said Lawyer Mott, the
woman's counsel, Mrs, McDonogh will
be satisfied if you commit her child to the
Catholic Protectory, she being under an age
that would make imprisonment in the pen
itontiary proper.
81 do rot think that her morals would be
improved if she were sent to the Catholic
Protectory," interposed Mr.. Bill.
II think, replied Mr.. Mott, hotly, "that
her morals would be less likely to suffer
among the Sisters of Charity in the Cath
Ole Protectory, than in the House of Re
fuge.'
"Well, interposed Judge Gildersleve, II
will not make any disposition of the child
to-day. l desire to investigate this case
somewhat more"
Officers then led Mary away, and when
they took her to the city prison the Mother
followed them. She was told that Mary
would be put under the charge OF Matron
Foster then, with many tears and kisses,
mother and child parted.

SHADwELL, Va, Feb. 2S.-Monticello,
the home of Thomas Jefferson, is to be
sold by auction. The through passenger
from Washington to the South gets a
glimpse of this stately old mansion, which
commands tine position away upon the
summit of one of the highest and grandest
mountains of Albemarle.
Jefferson's birthplace was Shadwell, a
town very much like every other Virginia
| town-its strong points, negroes, tobacco,
and sleepiness. The Shadwell of to-day is
not greatly changed from the Shadwell of
Jefferson time; and its only glory is that
brought to it by association with the name
of Jefferson.
After Jefferson had finished his course in
the College of William and Mary, he
bought this mountain, near Shadwell, aud
erected one of the most complete and aris~
tocratic mansions in the United States.
While he was in public life he enjoyed the
comforts of this home very little. But
when he retired from political prominence
it was to pleasant experience OF Monticel-
10. Here, from 1907 until his death in
1926, he spent his days in healthful enjoy
ment, surrounded by friends.
About three miles distant from Monticello

Jefferson. 1t is a tradition in Shadwe!l
that the retired statesman spent much
time daily il watching through telescope
from his mountain home the erection of
this University.
In small burial ground within a few
yards of the house is the tomb of jefferson.
A mean stone marks the spot. 1t is sup
posed, however, that the $4,000 recently
by Congress will be expended
this spring in supplying a tomb that at
least shall have an cir of responsibility.
After the death of Jefferson, Monticello |
passed into the hands of Capt Levy of |
New York. At the time of the late war it |
was confscated by the Confederacy. The |
property has since been in constant litiga>
ion, but now the Court of Appeals Las
ordered the sale of the estate by the State
Commissioner The sale is fixed for
March 20-N. Y. Sun.

May Clemmer accuses Senator Burn
side Of being chiefly devoted to his
clothes, and says that as reward he
is pictured in the tailors' fashion
plates. HE is the most luxurious
moving object visible in the Senate. as
he spreads about with broad branch
ing side whiskers, a chinchilla cap to
cover his shining head, and the gayest
of towering cashmere waistcoats. And
he is one of the most 'nobby' objects
on the avenue, in the eyes of admiring
bellies, as he dashes through it in his
dog cart beside some happy young
lady, with a decorated tiger clinging
close behind" But Mrs. Clemmer

Mrs. KATE SPRAdUE,
With CJmplmlnts OF Roscoe.

"Mrs. Conkling did not scream. Oh, no,
She has too much good solid sense for that,
but she silently wiped her eyes, rolled a
paper round the beautiful boquet, and sent
her servant to Mrs Spragues residence.
The greenhouse man had made mistake
and sent it to the wrong place. Since then,
it is said, Rsscoe carries his own Goquets to
Mrs Sprngue, whileMrs Conkling remains
at home in Utica It's understood that she
now "sits down" on Roscoe in private,
though she does smile on him at public re-
ceptions. $4,000.
1t is now settled, after Roscoe's $50, 000
boquet to Mrs. Srrague, that the best way
for Senator 10 win the affections of a rich
widow, is to treat her to a $50, 600 present
in the Senate. Every body can have back
taxes by letting them accumulate, and 1
advise every body young CT old, to have
them, and then, if you are pretty woman,
send for Sir Roscoe, firt with him, and
he'll take your case to the Senate.

Bill Babb is a Texan of notoriety in
his own State. He is uneducated,
brutal, bold, and ambitious. lie began
wild kind of frontier life ten years
ago, accumulated great amount of
land and cattle, gathered about him a
company Of desperadoes and aspired
to be a despotic ruler in his neighbor
hood. His recklessness led the settlers
for years to submit to his rude govern
ment, but recently the population in
creased, and a few men presumed to
dispute Babb's authority. One of
these was Henry Vaughan, who opened
a country store in opposition to Babb's
wishes, and was killed by a party of
Babb's followers. John Stull endeav-
Ored TO bring about an official investi-
CATION. Babb realized that his power
was in jeopardy, and decided TO make
an example of this rebel. Stull's
house was fred in the night, and three
of the four inmates murdered as they
emerged. Mrs. Stuil escaped by hid
ing in a bush, from which she saw that
Babb personally directed the butchery.
She subsequently had him arrested, but
a craven Judge released him ON low
1ail. Ali this finally reused the people,
and they are now hunting for Babb,
meanwhile hanging the members Of
his gang as last as captured.

CLARKSFILD,

Our City Fathers have had their hand
full of business the past week. One OF
our townsmen, Lewis Hayes, having
gained their confidence, has left for
parts unknown. Those most interested
think he got away with about $1,000.
Mr.. Hayes was liked and trusted by
all who knew him. He was a partner
with Messrs. Horr, Warner & Co., in
the Peck cheese factory in Wakeman,
owned dairy of forty-six cows, was a
partner in the gristmill here and man
aged large farm in Wakeman that he
had stocked with horses, cattle, farming
utensils, etc. On the above property
he managed to get large sum of mon
ey. 1t is reported that he has gone to
Kansas.
We think it would be easy to get up a
colony to 60 to Kansas from this and
adjoining townships as Hayes has con-
siderable money that would go quite a
ways toward laying out a village.
Hayesville would be good name for it.
At present we are having the severest
weather we have had here this winter.
Frozen ears and feet are very numerous.
Sleighing continues good and is being
used to good advantage.
There is very little sickness here now
