Judge Butler has poor OPINION OF
card playing for money. Before him
in the United States Court in Philadel.
phia on Monday was tried man for
passing a counterfeit trade dollar. The
defendant explained that he had
won the money at a social game OF
noker and integrity. In charging the
Jury, Judge Butler said "the defendant
denied all intention to deal in counter
felt money and if he had stopped there
7 doubt if he could have been convicted.
But the defendant brought ont the
fact that he received this counterfeit
coin over a gaming table and has en-
deavored to show by witnesses that he
has good character. Now,gentlemen,
Il is for you to say whether man who
nlavs cards for money can have a good

The Wrong Mrs. Watson.

Yesterdays REPUBLICAN contained a
report of an interview by reporter Of
that paper with Mrs. J. D. Watson in
in reference to report OF an
arrest of Mrs. Watson on Saturday
night at the United States Hotel, on a
warrant for debt of sl9.03, issued at
the instance of Mrs. NJ. L. Riley pro-
prietress of variety store at 22S King
street. Though the interview was
correctly reported by our reporter Mrs
Riley desires US TO say that tn gr It \
part OF the conversation alleged BY Mrs.
Watson to have taken place did not
occur at all. Mrs. Riley states that the
whole affair was mistake, that Mrs.
| Watson was not the woman who got the
goods, and this she told her as soon as
she saw her.
Afterwards fearing that she had not
done Mrs. Watson full justice for the
annoying mistake that had been made,
she went to see Mrs. Watson and made
a personal apology with which Mrs.
Watson seemed perfectly satisfied and
voluntarily promised that the affair
would not b. made public in the papers
so far as she was concerned. In refer
ence to the manner in which she was
deceived, Mrs. Riley says that some is
months ago, woman came into her
store, giving her name as Mrs. Judge
Watson of Philadelphia, and stated
that she was going to Dover and that
she wanted pair of thread gloves, but
at she had not money sufficient to pay
for them.
Mrs. Riley thinking that a pair of
thread gloves wonld be small 10
anyhow, referred her to one of her
clerks to be waited upon. The wo-
man stated to the clerk that Mrs. Riley
had given her permission to get few
things on credit and she did not stop
until she had rolled up bill Of sl9.O3
and then took her departure.
1t will easily be seen frop the fore
going how Mrs. Riley made mistake
for which she is. really not to blame,
and we regret very much that anything
which appeared IN the REPUBLICAN
should appear to reflect on Mrs. Riley's
conduct.
